The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will open the westbound (Gulf Breeze to Pensacola) span of the Pensacola Bay Bridge on U.S. 98 to vehicular traffic by 6 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14.
The two spans of the bridge are now temporarily accommodating two east and two westbound travel lanes, but upon final completion of the project each structure will support three lanes of traffic in each direction, along with inside and outside shoulders, and 10-foot wide multiuse paths for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Isaac Cole had a knack for getting pressure on the quarterback this season. And even if he didn’t come away with a sack, the standout defensive lineman for the Navarre Raiders often forced the signal caller to make a decision he probably didn’t want to make.
Now Cole is set to take his talents to the college level where he’ll play ball for NCAA Division III Birmingham-Southern.
Navarre’s boys lacrosse team is coming off its best season in the short history of the program. The Raiders won six games, doubling their win total from the year prior, and now head into the fourth year of lacrosse at the school hoping to take things a step further.
The milestone for most people is to make it to 100 years, or a century, old. For Helen Seagrave, she has been there and done that. Sunday, Jan. 29, she turned 103.
Seagrave, who has resided at Navarre Gardens on Highway 87 for just over a year, was born in 1920 in Connecticut, near New London.
Navarre took a big step forward in girls lacrosse a season ago, making a surprise run to the district tourney final for the first time in program history.
The Raiders won only two games in 2022 but played well when it mattered to get a shot at the title. Their season ended with a 13-4 loss to area power Niceville.
If you have driven on Granada or Carlos streets in Navarre at any point in the past month, you may have noticed work being done on the lot across from the Childcare Network. There are approximately nine new cottages going in as part of a rental project called Sum Beach Rentals.
Before these cottages, which are not finished, the lot was home to a trailer park that had become dilapidated. The project to create Sum Beach Rentals began when Jeff Perrett, an entrepreneur and developer, bought the property July 15, 2022.
Richard McCool, 67, smiled broadly before making his final remark to the EMTs, dispatchers, drivers and friends gathered in his honor Friday at LifeGuard Ambulance in Milton.
“Really – from the bottom of my heart, thank you,” he said, causing laughter and applause.
