The neighborhood called “Robledal Estates” on East Bay Boulevard may seem like just another waterfront neighborhood. However, it was the scene the oldest documented history of the area we now call Navarre.

It’s a parent’s worst nightmare that almost came true.  On Thursday, a Navarre girl told Santa Rosa Sheriff’s deputies that an adult male between the age of 50 and 55 with black/gray hair tried to abduct her on Thursday afternoon in the area of Ortega and Shipton streets in Navarre. 

In a move that would eliminate the need for a controversial wastewater disposal site being proposed in the Williams Creek neighborhood, Holley-Navarre Water System is exploring a deal to spread effluent on fields owned by South Santa Rosa Utility.

The Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and its CEO Judy Morehead are facing a lawsuit filed last week by Tony Hughes, president of Beach Community Bank and chairman of the Military Affairs Council of the chamber.
