In the wake of the eye-popping $83.3 million verdict against Trump for defaming E. Jean Carroll, many commentators mocked Trump’s bumbling lawyer, Alina Habba, and not without cause. The 39-year-old fashion model, er, attorney, who had never tried a defamation case before (and, in fact, was lead attorney in only three previous cases) was repeatedly…
If you’re a senior citizen like me (there’re plenty in Apalach), you may recall “When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano,” the chartbuster hit first recorded by The Ink Spots in 1940, and later by Glenn Miller, Pat Boone, and even, in an at-home private session, Elvis (they’re all on YouTube). I was reminded of…
In her will Lois Swoboda wrote that she did not want an obituary. To honor her wish, the Times had none. She did love Letters to Santa, though. Each of the several years we worked together at the Times, she typed her share and more in the week leading up to Christmas, grabbing amply from…
by Michael Rindler Guest Columnist I moved to Apalachicola six years ago, after several years of renting houses in town. This is a wonderful community with wonderful people. We are happy and feel privileged to live here. During our time in Apalachicola, I have observed with great interest the challenges of Weems Memorial Hospital. I…
Even for the left, it is getting harder to ignore the aging of Joe Biden that is happening before our eyes. Biden takes as many vacations as an 80-year-old in retirement with no job. Biden is at one of his beachfront homes now, fighting back rising sea levels for us. By one estimate, he has…
Much of the banter surrounding the rise of China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry and the implication for the global economy is misleadingly alarmist. When our government gets involved in such narratives, it calls into question the sincerity of its insistence that EVs are essential to an existential battle against climate change. If China’s foray succeeds,…
By Joan Matey Guest Columnist What’s the draw to come to the Panhandle coast of Florida? What would we like to have visitors say about our area? Franklin County has long had the moniker of the Forgotten Coast. We were remote, natural, under-developed… surrounding areas referred to this land as “the Real Florida” and we…
By Gill Autrey Guest Columnist Certain times of the year I come under a great deal of pressure causing undue stress. Like for instance, the weeks leading up to Lane’s birthday and I can’t think of anything to give her. We don’t give expensive gifts, we opt for something special. Her birthday is Sept. 10…
Experts will advise you never to eat meat with cream sauce at a buffet; always to lock your car even when just dashing into the 7-Eleven for two minutes; and never to read national polls in the year before an election. But there are coping mechanisms if you, like me, fail on the third. Two…
The jury is still out on whether divine intervention somehow draped an invisible bandanna across my face so that I could witness a shift in the landscape, or whether it was just an embarrassing blunder on my part. Whatever the verdict turns out to be, the evidence shows I was a willing, some might say…
