I’ve said it about the girls when it comes to weightlifting, and the same can be said about the boys.
When it comes to this corner of Northwest Florida, the athletes here dominate the sport.
The highly anticipated review of Santa Rosa County’s Land Development Code got off to a rocky start last week – to the surprise of no one who participated in the contentious 2021 rewrite.
It’s a start. That was my initial thought when I learned that Santa Rosa County is dipping its toes into the middle school sports game.
Starting this coming school year, the county will finally offer what we’ll call an appetizer menu of sports for junior high athletes. Cross-country, track and 3-on-3 basketball are the options those athletes will have an opportunity to compete in.
Recently over lunch, some friends and I were discussing social media and how online interactions are akin to what went on in the barbaric games of the ancient Roman Coliseum.
In my opinion, social media is a misnomer, it should be called unsocial media, or even anti-social media. I know that I have whined about this in the past, but social media interactions have not improved.
When I left my house this morning my granddaughter was watching dancing vegetables on the living room TV and she was mesmerized.
My four children were not raised watching screens or TV and I had already cautioned my daughter about getting her daughter hooked on screens.
Excited social media posts rippled across Santa Rosa County last week when the school board approved adding a limited middle school sports program.
It’s about time. Our neighbors in Escambia and Okaloosa counties have offered robust middle school sports programs for years while Santa Rosa County families wonder why they don’t have the same opportunity.
I’m going to say for 364 days of the year, most of America could care less about women’s college basketball.
Most of America doesn’t put it on its list of sports to watch on a Tuesday night in late January and no one is racing to fill out women’s basketball brackets for an office pool.
Growing up in Canada, my first taste of pineapple was from a can.
Those perfectly sliced rings of gold, floating in juice, looked enticing, but they tasted a lot like the can. Pinning them to the side of a Sunday ham and immolating them in an oven did little to improve the taste.
Easter is this Sunday, and we hope you enjoy the day with your family and take time to remember Easter’s significance as the day we celebrate Jesus Christ’s triumph over death. His resurrection seals the promise that eternal life is granted to all who believe in Him.
