There’s good news and bad news. Why must the two accompany each other so often?

On Wednesday, we reported about Children’s Reading Center Charter School being one of 353 schools nationwide and one of 14 in Florida to be recognized for its academic achievement.

We at the Palatka Daily News have been alarmed all week.

It started Monday, spilled over into Tuesday and left us with a bad taste in our mouths every since.

I would like to thank the Rev. Karl Flagg and LTC Charles William Coxwell Jr. for the prayers and speech during the Veterans Day ceremony.
