Big bucks for band

Being a member of the Navarre High School Raider band is not for the faint of heart. Practices are grueling with young musicians using all the parts of their brains, and bodies, to march and play for what might be hours in hot temperatures.

More talk about “critical” beach renourishment

A six-foot drop off has washed out beneath the staircase behind Brent Moore’s residence on Navarre Beach. Moore says less than two years ago four of the steps leading to the Gulf were submerged under sand. That erosion prompted Moore and others to drive Monday to Milton in an effort to convince commissioners beach renourishment must be a priority.

The Zoo is expanding two by two

The Gulf Breeze Zoo is expanding again, but not in land mass. Two rare Grévy Zebras were born within hours of each other from two different moms, Blitz and Twitch. Both babies are called “colts” because they have been identified as being male. The new Zebra moms and colts are being kept in an area all to themselves, “so they can concentrate on just being moms,” said Zookeeper Christy Barnes.

Milton completely shut down the running game of the Raiders. Throughout the game, the Panther defense swarmed to the ball and stopped the ball carrier before they could gather momentum.

In the second quarter, the Raiders opted for short out patterns that resulted in receptions for no gain. Pressure by the Panther defense resulted in several passes by senior Matt Webb to be underthrown. Until the last play of the game, the longest pass play covered three yards.

Low voting turnout tells politicians ‘good job’

If voter turnout had a voice it would cry “wah, wah, wah” …to be read as a diminuendo, which is the opposite of crescendo. Endless road signs, a steady stream of smiling faces in the mailbox and many energetic handshakes have filled (or cluttered, depending on your viewpoint) our lives in the last several weeks. And for what?
