Bass tournament to benefit drowning victim’s family

Written by Ken Garner on . Posted in News, Uncategorized.

Pete Griffin and Dewayne Vasquez grew up together in Milton. As boys, they built a tree fort from which they hunted guinea hens with pellet guns in a field near their neighborhood.
“We never wound up killing any of them, but we tried for months,” Vasquez remembered last week. “We were 8 or 9 years old; we didn’t really know what we were doing, but we kept at it. We knew we were definitely doing something most kids don’t get to do.”

It’s time to end time changes

Ben Franklin did a lot of great things for this country. One of his bright ideas that I am not found of, and really hate to be honest, is daylight-saving time.

With so much political drama at the recent county commission meetings, we aren’t sure what county business is being tended to.

After a slow start, the Panthers were back in the game, but they couldn’t get the stops they needed defensively to flip the script in a 60-44 loss.

Dusting Off

Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Opinion.

In the 20-plus years I have been a journalist, I have covered hundreds of events, written thousands of stories. However, the story that had probably the biggest impact on my life wasn’t even a story that I wrote.

In October 2016, I was the editor of two different weekly newspapers, one that sadly isn’t around any longer and the other is not the paper that it used to be because of budget cuts, which is just as sad. That was when we found out that Alaqua Animal Refuge had rescued dozens of Great Danes.

Some things aren’t easier with time

It’s hard for me to believe, but I have lived in Northwest Florida for more than 20 years now.

I moved down here from Indiana back in November 2002. At the time, my best friend and his girlfriend, now his wife, moved to Okaloosa Island to take jobs at some local newspapers.
