Homeless center to be built on 207
By Marissa Marinan | gargoyle@flagler.edu
Home Again St. Johns Inc., a group that works to assist those without homes, is hoping to change the way St. Johns County and the city of St. Augustine deals with homelessness.
Homeless individuals are found sleeping on the sea wall at night, sitting on St. George Street and seeking shelter in the woods.
“[St. Johns County] has records that there are anywhere from 500-800 homeless people in the county including women, children and veterans,” City of St. Augustine Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman said.
But Home Again St. Johns hopes to change those numbers by providing shelter to those in need.
Why humans are greater than moths

I came home on a rather warm first day of spring, opened the fridge, and poured a glass of water from my Brita water filter. Â I put the water back in the fridge, but my reckless, Dionysian passions do not always allow me to place the water back in the fridge gently. Sometimes I thrust it back in the fridge as though I were doing it against the water’s will. As a result, water spills on the floor of the fridge and I get around every year or so to wiping it up.

Through a tough season, the women’s basketball team found their strengths and is now focused on building for the new season ahead.
The 2011 season was tough for the girls of the Flagler women’s basketball team.

U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow to speak at Flagler College
By Marissa Marinan | gargoyle@flagler.edu
For Jennifer Rodgers, who is lecturing about the Holocaust at Flagler on Monday, March 19, being teased by her grandfather in German and French as a child resulted in more than a love of languages.
Rodgers attributes her interest in history to her grandfather, who rarely spoke of his experiences in World War II. His silence, she said, gave her the drive to learn more, immerse herself in history, and share her findings with the world. As a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, Rodgers has turned an enjoyment for history into a life-long passion.
