Lost Springs of the Ocklawaha River
I’d been on the Ocklawaha before, looked at the infamous Rodman Reservoir from the levee and driven the tall bridge across the remnant of the canal, but I had no idea about the drawdowns. Neil and I were invited by Karen Ahlers, a Putnam county resident who has championed Ocklawaha restoration, and Karen Chadwick, river guide and environmental activist, to take a boat ride. The resulting trip is something that neither of us will ever forget.
2017 Art & Antiques Show — A Grand Tour

I sit in the Lufrano Intercultural Gallery at the University of North Florida’s Student Union with Tony Rodrigues. As we talk, vibrant brush marks jump from the paintings that line the walls. A table in the center of the room holds rows of packaged snacks. Each group of packages sports a label with two initials. A mannequin stands in the corner wearing a brown cotton prison-issue shirt and pants; on it, printed in white, INMATE.
