In 1937, Dominican Republic President Rafael Trujillo, a one-time cattle rustler, forger, blackmailer, and then-dictator, decided that, in the name of national unity and to demonstrate his absolute power, he would create Hispaniola’s best baseball team. Trujillo, who preferred polo and sailing to baseball, turned over the Dragones de Ciudad Trujillo’s daily operations to Dr….
Hi Y’all, It is good to be back in Lanark Village. Panama City Beach is great, but it is not home. I was home early enough to attend the Apalachicola Mardi Gras Parade. It was so much fun to see all the dogs dressed up so cute. They were very well=mannered; it was a pleasure…
Floridians are witnessing an alarming upswing in the number of deaths from drug abuse and overdose, especially from heroin and prescription painkillers, also known as opioids. As the Franklin County sheriff, my team and I have seen first-hand how this epidemic has tragically unfolded in our community. Emergency calls are more and more frequent, and…
Easter is coming. With a president of the United States who could hide his own Easter eggs and throw himself a surprise party, we deserve to know one simple thing: Who’s calling the shots in the White House? It is clearly under leftist Democrat rule. Joe Biden butchered another press “chat” to respond to the…
The border bill circus is the latest demonstration of a bedrock reality of today’s Republican Party: It does not exist to achieve political outcomes. Its chief function is fan service. The overriding concern of GOP voters, according to polls and to elected Republicans, is immigration. In the ranty precincts of the right, they believe that…
I’m teaching a class at Gulf Coast State entitled, “Will You Know Where You Are When You Get Where You’re Going.” I did not think up that moniker. I “borrowed” it from a guy taller, smarter, and funnier than I am. He explained his version to a laughing “Grand Ole Opry” crowd. There is a…
Hi Y’all, This article will be short this week. I misquoted the name of the Lanark Village Association dance coming up on Saturday, March 2. The dance will be held at Chillas Hall, and it is the “Spring Dance at the Tiki Hut.” We are looking forward to a great time and hope that you…
Hi y’all: As an interim measure, the paper boxes have been removed from the Lanark area. The Apalachicola Times can be bought at Carrabelle Junction and Carrabelle IGA. This article is published on the website on Mondays. Sorry for the inconvenience. The American Legion Post 82 Sons/Riders cooked up some amazing chicken for our enjoyment. …
When you poke a hornet’s nest, you expect to get stung. If that hornet’s nest is filled with young girls in spangles and tutus — and their doting parents — you can expect to get skewered. That is exactly what happens if you criticize the social phenomenon known as Taylor Swift. It is a form…
One of the things I appreciated as a kid growing up in a small town in the 1950s was, I could understand the rules. Don’t lie, cheat, or steal, respect your elders, close the gate, and be home by supper. That was it. There was no secret handshake. You didn’t have any gosh awful bylaws…
