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…

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…

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…
By Ron Hart | Guest Columnist In a sad day for our country, Donald Trump was forced to come to New York City to face bookkeeping charges dating back to a purported incident in 2009. It was a paperwork entry at his company that he did not do. He was charged with 34 meaningless crimes….
