A big thank you to Bob and Carol Boston for remembering to bring their Navarre Press with them to Navarre, Ohio.
We used to have a lot more entries for “On the Road” with Navarre Press and we use to promote it more. If and when you go to somewhere notable, please bring your Navarre Press and we will put the picture in the paper.
After waiting six months, the autopsy for Cassie Carli is done. Although the autopsy results have yet to be released, Saint Clair County (Ala.) coroner Dennis Russell told Navarre Press the cause of death and manner of death was “undetermined.”
On Mar. 27, Cassie Carli vanished from the Juana’s boat ramp parking lot following a custody exchange with Marcus Spanevelo, the father of her four year old daughter. After a week of searching and investigating, Carli’s body was found in a shallow grave in Saint Clair County, a county about 40 minutes outside of Birmingham.
One of our core values at the Navarre Press is that we are not here for us. Rather, we are part of something much bigger than ourselves.
I stay pretty connected to the athletes I cover, especially with social media now such a prevalent part of our lives, and they will often reach out and let me know they appreciate everything I do.
Special to Navarre Press Oysters are becoming sparse in the Panhandle. In addition to loss of reef habitat, thousands of acres of waters will be closed to shellfish harvesting by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services because of high fecal coliform bacteria counts. Commercial fisherman Pasco Gibson said what used to be 150, 60-pound nets per harvest is down to barely a five-gallon bucket.
In his own unique way, John Richardson will forever be a state champion.
After the Navarre Raiders added another championship in girls weightlifting a handful of years ago, head coach Garrett Bagley had an extra medal and knew exactly who he wanted to give it to. The decision to give it to John, a long-time sportswriter at the Navarre Press, was without question.
Special to Navarre Press The Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer Services’ planned closure of thousands of acres of area waters to shellfi sh harvesting is based on continuous high fecal bacterial counts. Ultimately, this will impact many businesses, recreational shellfish gatherers and many more.
I still remember my first week at the Navarre Press and the time I reached out to Navarre girls soccer coach Rob Simon about getting stats on his team as it prepared for a tournament game.
He shared the stats but also noted in his email that John Richardson, a freelance writer for our paper, is “their guy” when it comes to girls soccer coverage.
Rebekah Jones is now in the clear for the Aug. 23 primary thanks to a judgement handed down from the Florida Court of Appeals, First District on Aug. 22.
As Navarre Press reported last week, Jones had been involved in a court fight with Peggy Schiller, who is running against her for the Democratic nomination for Congressional district one. The winner of the primary will face incumbent Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
