Where were you? Volunteers stood ready to help you park and find your way around; local food and beverage trucks were ready to serve you. The band was ready to entertain you. The weather was perfect; the bugs were elsewhere. It was a special, fundraising event at the Crooked River Lighthouse last weekend. It was…
Hey everybody, there’s a new nonprofit in town! Keep Franklin County Beautiful (KFCB) is gearing up. In a few months, we’ll be an official Keep America Beautiful (KAB) affiliate – one of more than 650 affiliates across the county, and one of more than 40 affiliates in Florida. The three common goals are to end…
I’d like to give a shout-out to Ms. Jeannie Banks Walker for the beautiful person that she is. Jeannie is a kind-hearted person who is always hooking up delicious and tasty recipes. Last week I had the pleasure to taste one of them. Being a seafood and pasta lover, I had her crab spaghetti, something…
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…
