Are you ready for the final chapter in the Great COVID-19 Limerick Challenge?
That began by accident early in winter when Gary Hunt took fingers to keyboard, doodled out some pandemic limericks and posted them to Facebook. He encouraged others to weigh in with their own.
When they did, he passed them onto yours truly. âMaybe you could get a column out of this,â Hunt suggested.
That ended with Hunt collecting scores of limericks from dozens of doggerel divas. The winner of the Great COVID-19 Limerick Challenge was Blacksburg artist Sally Mook. (Her âprizeâ is lunch with Hunt and me, and thatâll happen early in May, just as soon as my vaccination is fully effective.)

South Carolina was spared the worst of Hurricane Florence’s fury when the storm made landfall in North Carolina on September 14, but did not escape its catastrophic impacts. Nearly two weeks later, the state was still contending with historic flooding.
Flooded house in Socastee, South Carolina.
Florence lingered over the Carolinas, dumping more than 30 inches of rain in some areas. Five rivers and the IntraCoastal Waterway crested several feet above major flood stage, resulting in flooding that will last for weeks to come in parts of South Carolina. Cities and towns on its northern coast are experiencing the worst of it, where standing water remains in buildings along the Intracoastal Waterway and near riverbanks deep into the Carolinas.

New historical marker shows location of Tallahassee s oldest congregation
Linda Yates
Tallahassee s Trinity United Methodist Church on Park Avenue is already preparing for it s 200th anniversary in 2024.
Just before Easter on April 1, Trinity’s Historical Society erected a State of Florida historic marker in front of the church with the cooperation of the Secretary of State.
It gives a brief history of the church, its outreach and service to citizens of the City of Tallahassee, and its assistance to its Black members to start their own church following the end of the Civil War.
In 1821 Tallahassee was a wild frontier with about 2,000 citizens, half of whom were enslaved people. There were a few rustic commercial buildings and dirt roads just wide enough for bloody duels to take place.
