Some inaccurate figures on Santa Rosa County tourist bed tax collections were corrected on the county’s website last week soon after the Navarre Press questioned them.

More than ducks, turtles

I am writing this letter in response to the article in Navarre Press, September 17, 2015, titled “Ducks, Turtles Out.” I would like to tell the rest of the story!
Offended by the offenders list?
Written by Staff Reporters on . 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 . 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.

Next Thursday, May 21, kicks off the free summer concerts at Navarre Park sponsored by the Navarre Chamber and Navarre Press. The concert starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. Not Quite Fab will perform and Dirt Road Cookers will serve concessions. See the Navarre Beach Chamber’s ad for all the details and schedule. May 21 is also Navarre Press’s last paper of our 15th year – and we will be there celebrating.
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Letters to the Editor, Opinion.
I was surprised to see what was chosen to be the Photo of the Week in a recent Navarre Press. A rival high school high jumper was shown in an “awkward position,” with a very unsportsmanlike comment below it. Rivalry and comments between sports teams is understood but insinuating remarks by the local newspaper is uncalled for.
