Food Distribution Set For Saturday In Gonzalez

March 6, 2023

A food distribution is set for Saturday in Gonzalez.

The distribution will begin at 8 a.m. and continue while supplies last at the Gonzalez United Methodist church. Vehicles can begin lining up at 7:30 a.m., and organizers say there will be enough food for at least 300 families.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed getting out into the community and being able to help our friends in District 1 get what they need”, said Rep. Michelle Salzman. “Along with Farm Share and the Gonzalez United Methodist Church, these events have become an amazing asset to help us provide food once every quarter to this part of the county that needs it so much.  Especially with prices rising as they have been, it’s comforting to know that we’ve helped ensure some food on their tables every few months.”

‘“And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.’,” said Gonzalez United Methodist Church Pastor Andy Perry, quoting Matthew 25:40. “As a Church, we cannot live isolated from our community. Rather, what Jesus and even the season of Lent reminds us of is that we are to be truly engaged in caring for those who do not have the means that many others have. Being involved in this food distribution allows us to engage and connect with the people in North Escambia county in a very real and tangible way, as the hands and feet of Jesus to help our neighbor. This is truly an opportunity to fulfill the commandment: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.”

The food distribution is intended to provide supplemental help for families who may be struggling through a hard time.

The distribution will be made possible by Farm Share, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Commissioner Steven Barry, Congressman Matt Gaetz, Kevin Stephens with ECUA District 5, International Paper, the Marine Corps League, Gonzalez United Methodist Church, Aaron Erskine, Thompson Trucking, and other community partners.

Tonight: Tate Grad, UWF Student Maggie Brown To Compete On Jeopardy!

March 2, 2023

A Tate High School graduate and current University of West Florida junior Maggie Brown will compete on Jeopardy! tonight for a chance to win $100,000.

The Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament is airing through March 9, with Brown appearing in the episode at 6 p.m. on WALA Fox 10.

While she was a 14-year old sophomore at Tate, Brown reached the quarterfinals in the 2018 “Jeopardy! Teen Tournament”. Today, those bright young minds are older, wiser, and ready to return to the stage for a first-of-its kind twist on the traditional College Championship format. Now 27 former teen contestants, now current undergraduates or recent college graduates, will reunite to face off in a 14-day special event with a $100,000 grand prize and a spot in the Tournament of Champions on the line.

“We didn’t want to lose that sort of college energy (this season),” said Jeopardy! Executive Producer Michael Davies. “We knew we had these 27 players who are all of college age who come from our existing Jeopardy! community, so this was a great opportunity to bring them back.”

Brown was the Tate High School Class of 2021’s co-salutatorian, graduating with a GPA of 5.55. She was on the 2020 Senior Homecoming Court, was appointed to the 2021 Senior Hall of Fame, and volunteered as assistant coach of Ransom Middle School’s Academic Team.

At UWF, she is Honors Council service chair, secretary of the senate in the Student Government Association, continues to work at Ransom Middle School’s assistant academic team coach, is an intern at the Gulf Coast Diplomacy Council, and works at the UWF library.

Maggie Brown’s older sister, Samantha Brown, was the Tate High Class of 2017 valedictorian. Samantha Brown appeared on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” in 2018.
