Guest column: No one should have to navigate caregiving alone

Most family caregivers do not wake up one morning and decide to become caregivers. It often happens gradually. Maybe it begins with driving a parent to a doctor’s appointment. Then it may involve picking up prescriptions or preparing meals. Eventually, there may be medications to manage, medical equipment to understand, symptoms to monitor and personal care needs to address.

The Seminoles had a 14-0 lead, were on the 2-yard line […] The post Commentary: It went riches to rags just like that vs. Louisville first appeared on Palatka Daily News.

Grid Talk: After 4-0 start, Gators seem to be heading in wrong direction

GAINESVILLE – Other than a 59-yard touchdown strike by Aaron Philo to Bailey Stockton less than four minutes into the game, there weren’t too many moments that Florida Gators football fans got excited about on Saturday at Spurrier Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. And if it looked anything like the Gators’ 38-19 embarrassment against now-.500 South Carolina, Florida may […] The post Grid Talk: After 4-0 start, Gators seem to be heading in wrong…

Letter to the Editor: Alexander, Harvey incorrectly accused in recent Public Forum letter

Lynn Roberson’s Oct. 9 letter to the editor, “Commissioners share disregard for St. Johns’ (River) health,” blamed Commissioners Larry Harvey and Josh Alexander for the continuing loss of the river’s eelgrass. Her facts need correcting. I vividly remember the request to fund research by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist Dan Kolterman, and the unprofessional, unnecessary response he […] The post Letter to the Editor: Alex…
