Is Bill Nelson Building a Donor List off of Hurricane Relief?
By Brad Slager
Bill Nelson
The devastation in the Florida panhandle left in Hurricane Michael's wake has been heartbreaking. Lives are in chaos, and any help that can be sent is needed and welcome.

Nobody, least of all myself, would want to curtail dollars sent in to help the storm victims of the panhandle.

The Mount Dora home of Lubek Jastrzebski and Nancy Nemhauser
When my husband, Lubek, moved from communist Poland to America many years ago, he thought he had left behind Kafkaesque tribunals where government officials suppressed speech under vague or non-existent laws. But that was before we had the wall outside our house in Mount Dora painted with a mural in the style of Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night.”

Hurricane Warning, with a Chance of Scam
By Jose Mallea
As Florida braces for a direct hit from a powerful hurricane, we must be on the lookout for more than just the approaching storm. Anyone who has suffered damage to his or her property can become the target of unscrupulous scams involving dishonest contractors and their dodgy trial lawyer buddies. And we thought hurricanes were the destructive force!
