Out and About

I would invite everyone to go to the Navarre Press YouTube channel and watch the video of the meeting that took place on Saturday in regard to the attempt to form a historical society for our area. I would spell it out – but you are all smart people. You might want to look at the relation of all of the people nominated and voted on to the “board.” I’ll give you a hint; they are all related and related to the person that nominated them. And, in case you want to know when the next private club meeting is – we don’t know. I don’t think we are invited. And, bottom line, we know you are smart enough to know not to believe what you read on Facebook. If you have any questions about Navarre Press or me – please call. I’m not going to play the vulgar game that was played this past weekend on the Tower of Babel – otherwise known as…I’m not going to even say it. It is disgusting and Facebook is of the Devil and the Father of Lies himself – resides there – on certain Facebook sites that will not be named. People write things on Facebook that they do not have the guts to say in real life. I have so much more to say – but you will have to wait until the Navarre Press’ UNCUT version comes out. Hey, I reserve the right to have the uncut version next week…OK editor? You will find our YouTube site here:

Sea turtle killed by propeller
Written by Sandi Kemp on . Posted in Beach.
A deceased loggerhead sea turtle weighing more than 150 pounds was found floating in the Gulf east of the pier on Saturday afternoon. Cinnamon Holderman with the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Patrol was called out to assess the turtle. The turtle had very pronounced propeller cuts into the shell. Cathy Holmes, also with the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Patrol, explained to Navarre Press how a propeller can kill or hurt a turtle. “A sea turtle’s spine and ribs are fused to the shell and is a living part of their body that grows, sheds and bleeds. A propeller can quite easily cut through the shell, often severing or damaging the spine, causing death or paralysis.”
