Under tall trees shading the yard behind Anna and Roger Hackney’s Navarre home, a hawk with lemon yellow legs hops around his enclosure.
The red-shouldered hawk came to Sandspur Wildlife Sanctuary recently after spending three days beating his head against a chicken coop trying to get a free meal.
While Pensacola Bay Bridge contractor Skanska USA was not prepared for Hurricane Sally’s winds and waves, they indicated that they were prepared for Hurricane Delta if it impacted the area.
In fast-growing communities like Navarre and Gulf Breeze, it is likely that many new residents are perusing church websites to find their new “church home.”
One of the key criteria that influences that decision is a church’s approach to corporate worship.
Until last Tuesday, Navarre had never competed in a swim meet at the Gospel Project pool in Milton. In fact, head coach Mary Moorer admitted she didn’t know it existed.
But the pool was a little different than normal, especially with no blocks to dive off for the start of a race. The depth at the starting area was 10 feet and it dipped to 4 feet at the other end of the pool.
In a span of seven days, nearly 8 inches of rain fell in the Navarre area. That total includes almost an inch on Sunday, an inch and a half on Friday and more than three and a half inches Thursday.
That was the day the stormwater system in the Ortega Drive neighborhood became officially overwhelmed.
A Navarre pet store is running a supply drive in conjunction with other local businesses for the victims of Hurricane Ida. The drive has been ongoing since the Category 4 hurricane struck the Louisiana coast in late August.
