Super Day

When I graduated from Flagler less than a year ago, I had pretty high aspirations for myself and I still do. I want to work for ESPN and host a radio show while also writing for the magazine and the website. I also want to write for USA Today and at some point, work in Dallas covering high school football on Friday nights, local college football on Saturdays and the Cowboys every other day of the week.

Oldest City: hotbed of excitement

Before packing up and heading to Jacksonville, give St. Augustine a try

By Taylor Toothman | ttoothman@flagler.edu

I can picture you right now, reading this article, stalking a friend of a friend on Facebook, or – you must be really desperate – catching up on homework because you don’t think there’s anything to do in town.

Granted, St. Augustine may seem like a boring place because it’s so small and so many places close around 6 p.m. But, there really is something for everyone, if you look close enough. You won’t even have to walk far.

The celebration was also marked by a special presentation by civil rights activist Rev. H. K. Matthews, on Jan. 20 in the Flagler College Auditorium.

Matthews was brought to the campus through an effort by Assistant Professor Mike Butler and the Dean of Academic Affairs Alan Woolfolk.

Google Earth: Is this the death of your ‘Secret Spot?’

By Ben McLeod | bmcleod@flagler.edu

It seems like nothing is a secret anymore, even in the small world of surfing. Ever since Google Earth has given surfers the ability to zoom on every coast and find any wave on the planet, the feeling of pride in knowing that somewhere we have our own secret spot, is gone.

Over Christmas break, I watched the original “Endless Summer” from the 60s, with no thought in mind. The most famous scene in the movie is when the surfers climb over the deserted dunes in Cape St. Francis, South Africa, only to find perfect clean waves, with no one in the lineup.

Sandi Newman knows that appearance isn’t everything.

On Saturday mornings, she travels to farms across Northeast Florida. She gathers crops that are considered not physically adequate for commercial purposes or what is left behind after a harvest. Newman is the Area Coordinator for the Society of St. Andrew, a Christian ministry that specializes in this process, commonly known as “gleaning.” The organization collects food that would otherwise go to waste from farms nationwide and distributes it to feed the hungry.
