Lindsey Nolen Remember the basketball game HORSE? Well, on Thursday nights during the National Football League regular season the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offensive line comes together for their own version of the game, “CAT.” They’ve also been known to play a game of Rock Band or two. This is because on Thursdays after practice, Center Brandon Linder typically hosts the OL

Folks Like Us

December 20, 2011
A human piece of Jacksonville history died recently, and while somebody paid to bury him, nobody would claim him. The Nov. 13 obituary for Warren Folks, long the city’s most vocal (if not virulent) racist, listed no survivors, friends or mourners. The closest anyone came to a public embrace of

Bought & Sold

As “Where were you?” moments go, last Tuesday’s firing of Jack Del Rio/sale of the Jacksonville Jaguars ranks just ahead of the death of Michael Jackson and slightly behind the acquittal of Casey Anthony. It was a surprise, no doubt, and it had our local TV news outlets doing what

But I Am an Author!

December 6, 2011
I’m sure you think this odd, but I’m always hesitant to tell people that I’m a published author. No, it’s not because I’m modest, because I’m not. No, it’s not because I write erotica, though I am working on something pretty steamy, but that’s neither here nor there. The reason

The Southbank Riverwalk is a dilapidated shell of its former self — the wood splintering, the concrete supports eroded to reveal rusted rebar. Jacksonville City Councilmember Don Redman, whose district includes the Southbank, found out just how out bad things were in 2009, when a loose board prompted a bad

Trapped!

They come mostly at night, ravaging lawns and gardens, eluding traps and terrifying homeowners and children. They breed almost as quickly as rabbits, taking over suburban haunts and destroying natural habitats. They are, quite simply, running amok — particularly in some areas of Nocatee, Marsh Harbor and Guana River State

Cost and Casualties

November 29, 2011
Child welfare professionals believe our role is to prevent continued abuse of children. In our effort to keep children safe, we often remove those alleged to be maltreated from their homes and families. We then require their parents to complete case plan tasks designed to remedy the harm that brought

Luxury Trips, Junkets and Safaris, oh my!

With convicted ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff out of prison and making the rounds promoting his book, “Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption from America’s Most Notorious Lobbyist,” it seems fair to say that not much has changed. Abramoff bought influence in Washington by plying members of Congress with gifts

It was just after 7 a.m., and James and Mary Ann Stephens were already up and dressed and taking advantage of the Ramada Inn’s free continental breakfast. It was a Sunday morning, the first of the couple’s Florida vacation, 360 miles south of their tiny hometown of Toccoa, Ga. They

A handful of As for your everloving Qs

Are you tired of listening to people telling you how to live your life? How many times have you been told what fork to use, or what slacks to wear? How many times do you have to be told drinking mercury is bad for you before you stop doing it?

Vote of No Confidence

November 22, 2011
All the Republicans in Tallahassee like House Bill 1355 a lot, but a New Smyrna Beach teacher and her students do not. With apologies to Dr. Seuss, the bill approved by the legislature in May imposes a new set of voting rules that are producing some decidedly Grinch-like outcomes. The
