This Friday, the Pensacola Ice Flyers will be playing the Louisiana Icegators at Home. Santa will be there and you are asked to wear your ugliest Christmas sweater. Don’t forget, if you are a Navarre Press All Access subscriber, we have tickets for you! We also have tickets for this weekend to the Pensacola Little Theater for the showing of “White Christmas.” Last weekend we had tickets to the Pensacola Children’s Chorus and a Sinfonia Concert in Destin with a Broadway star. It really pays to be “All Access.”

Out and About

Written by Sandi Kemp on November 12, 2015. Posted in Opinion, Out and About.

We are introducing something new to the paper this week. We have a first-person story by our Copy Editor, Carmen Reynolds. This is in an effort to introduce our staff to our readers on subjects we think are of interest to you. People forget real people work at Navarre Press. We are human and have many of the same cares, interests and responsibilities as many of you. Your neighbors work here; our children went to or are attending the same schools; we worship together; play together; and we all care about Navarre and our community.

Northwest Florida Haunts

As Halloween approaches, Navarre Press would like to share with you some of the best local haunts and their stories. NOTE: Not all of these locations are open to the public. Trespassing on private grounds is a crime punishable by law. Furthermore, vandalism of any kind is also a crime. Destroying or defacing a cemetery is considered a felony, and conviction of such crimes can carry fines in the range of $5000 and/or five years in jail. Before visiting any of these sites, check to make sure they are open to the public. If they are not, obtain permission and notify the authorities before visiting.

Offended by the offenders list?

Written by Staff Reporters on September 10, 2015. Posted in Editorial, Opinion.

In this week’s issue of Navarre Press, you will find a spread with photos, names and addresses of sexual offenders and predators registered in Navarre and Gulf Breeze. We have published this every year, and a majority of our readers let us know they appreciate us printing the information. A couple of people have told us that they pull the pages out of the paper and keep it for reference.

We were very saddened to learn of the two airmen who died in a training accident and we hope to have more about their lives in the next issue of Navarre Press. We found out that Tech Sgt. Marty B. Bettelyoun lived in Holley By The Sea with his wife and five children.

In support of Rob Williamson

Written by Staff Reporters on July 16, 2015. Posted in Letters to the Editor, Opinion.

I’d like to point out that Mr. Rob Williamson is our duly-elected (by a wide margin I might add) county commissioner despite the Navarre Press’ and reporter Romi White’s diligent efforts to prevent that from happening last fall.

Hurricane season officially started Monday. Make sure to check out our Hurricane Guide so you can be prepared. Our local Ace Hardware carries many of the supplies you should keep on hand. You will also see Vanderheyden storm shutters advertising. We have Vanderheyden’s fabric shield window coverings for the Navarre Press office. Thankfully we haven’t had to use them yet, but if we are threatened by a storm, we know how our windows and doors will be protected. We also have the aluminum roll-down shutters for our upstairs windows so we don’t have to crawl around on a steep metal roof before a potential storm.
