Impressive start to Gulf South Conference play for Argos
Peewee Jarrett unleashed a long throw down the field, the ball destined to find the hands of John Jiles, who leaped in the end zone in an effort to make the grab.
The pass play was broken up despite Jiles just missing on getting his hands on the ball, but ultimately it didn’t matter.

Out and About
I was out and about at Juana’s Good Time Regatta this weekend. Kaitie Kiger covered the event on Saturday in a chase boat and I went out on a chase boat Sunday to take pictures.
This was the team at Juana’s/Sailors Grill’s 33rd year organizing and running this event, which is a tremendous asset for our community.

Elijah Nall got involved with the Pace High yearbook as a freshman. It just seemed like a logical move. His sister was on the staff there and he figured it would be a good way to get into something where he already knew someone.

Out and About

He has contributed to the betterment of our county during his time on the commission.

For God’s Sake: God deserves our best
Guest preachers have an advantage over the resident preacher. A guest preacher can drop in, speak boldly to a congregation on some controversial issue, then go home leaving the resident preacher to deal with a brewing firestorm.

Can we please get down to business?
If you think a “Housewives of (insert county name here)” show is entertaining, you haven’t been to a Santa Rosa County board of commissioners meeting or a Milton City Council meeting lately.
In fact, we think TV producers are missing a huge opportunity here in our county. It wouldn’t be difficult to make a series out of the theatrics; they would just have to pal around with Commissioner James Calkins for all the drama they could ever want.
