The plaza at St. Sylvester Catholic Church in Gulf Breeze was busy with people and their pets Saturday morning, all there for the annual Blessing of the Pets.
A 17-year-old Gulf Breeze teen has been cited for a Tuesday morning accident that tied up traffic on U.S. Highway 98 in the Tiger Point area.
The boy turned right from Central Parkway onto the highway, failing to notice a loaded dump truck in that lane. The truck driver, a 47-year-old man from Milton, tried to avoid hitting the teen’s vehicle, but struck the car anyway before overturning.
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.
