Hart now a Ram

December 16th, 2009

img_6456 The St. Louis Rams last week signed former South Sumter High and San Diego Chargers safety Clinton Hart.

Hart, a starter for more than five years with San Diego, was cut by the franchise in October. With the Rams, he joins head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was an assistant coach while Hart was with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2002 and 2003.

“I’ve been around him enough to know he’s a solid character guy,” Spagnuolo said in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch story.

At age 32, Hart fills the roster spot created when the Rams placed Oshiomogho Atogwe on the injured reserve list.

Hart was inactive in the Rams’ 47-7 loss to Tennessee last week.

Eustis Woman Is a Crusader against Burn Pits

December 7th, 2009

Story By: Michael Harris

Jill Wilkins talks freely about her loss with anyone within earshot – and that may be over a cup of coffee in her dining room, sitting in her study and conversing with people over the Internet or in front of Congress if that is what is to be.

The Eustis resident calls the last year and a half an “adventure,” a ride that started in a tiny Veteran’s Administration office in Tavares where she felt absolutely sick after leaving that office just several months after her husband, USAF Major Kevin E. Wilkins, RN died of a brain tumor. Read Full Entry

Written by Blair Townley; Photos by Anthony Rao

Africa: It’s a continent an ocean away from the United States and probably a world away in several people’s minds, especially during the Christmas season.

Africa and its people are never far from the mind of Rosemary Jensen of Umatilla, especially after seeing firsthand how their lives have been affected by the deadly disease AIDS. Read Full Entry

I’m bumfuzzled

December 1st, 2009

Coach Bowden
It’s bumfuzzling, dad gum it.

It’s the only way to describe Bobby Bowden stepping down the way he is.

When you think of Florida State University – you think of Bobby Bowden. He put the school’s football team on the map around the nation. Fourteen straight times his Seminoles would finish in the top 5 in the nation.

He’s a legend – period.
