In 2005, celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, launched a bold initiative to improve the substandard quality of food served to children in Britain’s school cafeterias.
A decade later he reported that his initiative failed because, bottom line, the kids didn’t want the nutritional food he was promoting, they liked what they were getting.
Football is an emotional game and sometimes that emotion gets the best of an athlete.
I’ve seen it happen in practices countless times in my career, often to the point where full on fights have broken out between teammates, and sometimes, tensions rise among a team as well.
Sometimes I forget how small the world is.
Then you get reminded of that as a nurse makes small talk while poking an IV needle into your arm in preparation for a procedure. Nothing major. I’m still alive. I mean, I wrote this column didn’t I?
I am not even remotely mechanically inclined. It is for guys like me that cars used to come with what my mechanic friend called “the idiot light.”
Pointing to it, he said, “If this light comes on, you got trouble; come see me.” Did he just call me an idiot?
Fall is officially here, although the 87-degree temperatures don’t convince me. The mornings are a little cooler, but when you are still in the upper 80s during the day, we will just keep waiting for the temperatures to catch up with the months they are supposed to be in.
Congratulations on football coach Jay Walls’ 200th win at Navarre High School! It was an exciting district win over Tate High School with a final score of 45-42.
In the last seconds of the game, Tate was attempting a field goal to tie the game and take it into overtime, but Raider Tyrell Marshall blocked it and the celebration was on.
Spring is normally a time for new beginnings, but Autumn 2023 is shaping up to be a critical time in the City of Milton’s history.
If all goes as expected, Scott Collins will start his tenure as city manager on Oct. 2, replacing Randy Jorgenson, who retired Sept. 5.
I saw the movie “2001, A Space Odyssey” when it was first released in 1968.
In this story by Arthur C. Clarke, a crew of astronauts ventures into space to find the beings who planted a monolith on earth millennia earlier igniting the evolutionary process.
Indiana Hoosier football coach Tom Allen went and fired off a post-game rant earlier this month about how Friday night lights should be reserved for high school football and nothing else.
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.
