I cannot help thinking this Mark McGwire confession is a song I have heard before, and better done at that. Here we have another baseball cheater who finally tells us the truth after years of silence. Of course, we all have known he had been juiced when he hit those record numbers of home runs and now he has confirmed the use of both steroids and human growth [...] Restoring Picayune Strand is one of those rare opportunities to put back what humans destroyed and, in doing so, to revive 55,000 acres of wetlands, sloughs and upland habitats so important to sustain wood storks, Florida panthers, black bears, bald eagles and many other western Everglades wildlife [...] Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert addresses the Naples Town Hall Distinguished Speakers Series on Wednesday evening, Jan. 13, 2010, at the Naples [...] The Dec. 28 editorial regarding the bus transfer station proposed by Collier County to be housed at the old Morande car dealership on Radio Road stated the “neighbors of the bus hub have an uphill pull to prove their case.” Truer words were never spoken. The residents who are immediately affected by the “bus hub” know it better than anyone because it is in their “backyard” — and their side yard and their front [...] Counting the days until … Where to start?

We are parents of a wonderful 9-year-old autistic son. Having an autistic child has rewarding moments, trying moments and touching moments. My story is both a rewarding and a touching [...] In 1935, after finishing Colonial Heights Elementary School, 12 of us were directed to attend Bolling Junior High School in Petersburg, Va., 1.6 miles from my home.
