Last-minute holiday gift givers – we have the solution. If you can find someone without a subscription to Navarre Press – buy them one. We have a three-year deal that can be split up into three different subscriptions – or just give yourself two more years – and a friend one year. We will send them the bill next year – unless you tell us otherwise.
Start you kids’ trick-or-treating right here at Navarre Press on Halloween. We will have candy and giveaways from 2 to 5 p.m. We’ll be taking photos and you might just end up being featured in our next issue.
To promote Breast Cancer Awareness, Navarre Press is wrapping itself in PINK for the issues of October 9th and 16th. In Okaloosa County, the Board of Commissioners declared a certain day in October as “Wear Pink Day”, and we think it’s such a good idea that we are borrowing it! Everybody in Navarre should wear PINK on October 9th and look for our PINK wrap issue that will have good information on prevention and care.
It is hard to believe that it has been ten years since Ivan, and in ten months it will be the ten year anniversary of Dennis which was the hurricane that affected Navarre Press and personally, my home the most. It is the reason why we have new siding on both structures and the reason why I was able to put my new refrigerator in my office through the outside wall, not through the door. Therefore, if my office refrigerator ever goes out, I’m not sure how it would exit the building. We also purchased a whole building generator that we have never had to use, thankfully. However, I’d like to say we are prepared but no one is truly prepared for catastrophes like Ivan. If you weren’t here ten years ago, I hope you never have to go through anything similar.
Congressman Jeff Miller hasn’t faced an opponent in the Republican primary for Florida’s District 1 in more than a decade, but he has one this year in Pensacola businessman John Krause. Navarre Press talked with both candidates and asked them to comment about four issues important to voters.
Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold became the 10th commander of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) July 3 at Hurlburt Field. Heithold, in an interview with Navarre Press, said his number one priority is clear.
Just a quick note to thank you for the recent article in the Navarre Press that featured my wife and me. What a pleasant surprise. Yes, we were interviewed in our home by Bobby and Nancy, but we did not expect the final product to be so well written and polished. What great tallent. Bobby said it would be quick and painless. We have received many, many nice comments from our friends. You made us celebrities for a day.
My job is so much fun that it is going to be my demise. If I could just do everything full-time – then I wouldn’t get anything done. I really would love being a full-time writer, a full-time photographer, a full-time investigative reporter, a full-time sales person and a full-time boss and manager. The only thing that I really couldn’t do because I don’t have the technical skills is design. I know good design, but I don’t have the technical skills to do it full time. However, if I wasn’t busy doing everything else, then I could possibly learn. I think I have written this before, but I’ve had employees tell me that they loved working at Navarre Press because basically you can be anyone that you want to be on any given day, except an EMT or a doctor.
Check out the front page of this week’s Navarre Press and it shouldn’t take long for you to spot the double whammy for south Santa Rosa. First, we learned that Santa Rosa County in 2007 had an opportunity to gain $3 million in grant funds for stormwater mitigation for Holley By The Sea, but passed. Plus, we’ve also just learned that while other nearby counties are raking in grant funds for beach renourishment, Santa Rosa County, with its beautiful Navarre Beach, is getting none.
