Always short and not always sweet and not always ‘Quirky’: Endorsement and no endorsement in today’s Herald.

But first. . .


UPDATE: See latest information on “The Philly Grill on Wheels” food truck below. Will it be at the Midnight Sun Festival this weekend? Stay tuned. Research has indicated that may indeed be the case.


And despite what you may have been led to believe, FREE SPEECH in the City of Lake Worth is alive and well.

The editor(s) at The Palm Beach Post/Gatehouse Media made their political endorsements and now the editor at The Lake Worth Herald made his (see two excerpts below).

Many of you may find the endorsement in The Lake Worth Herald today shocking, disturbing and maybe you will jump up and celebrate. And also below, near the end of this blog post, is a sentence about more news in this week’s Herald.

Let us pause briefly for really good news in The Palm Beach Post today.

It was news in the ‘LOCAL/BUSINESS’ section about a Lake Worth food truck and a Downtown eatery that recently had perfect inspections from the Florida Dept. of Professional Regulation. They are the Subway restaurant located at the 210 S. Dixie Hwy. and a food truck too. Learn more below about the food truck serving steak sandwiches a little later. Who knows! It might be at the Midnight Sun Festival this weekend.

And worth noting there was another error in the Post today too and once again,


Or maybe it wasn’t an error after all. But information in the paper today that might confuse the ‘Foodie’ and food truck community.

Moving forward. . .


Election Day in the City of Lake Worth is on March 12th. The full text of Mayor Pam Triolo’s State of the City address held last Tuesday evening is published on pp. 4–5 in today’s Lake Worth Herald. The speech was titled, “We are a Community of Neighborhoods”.

And to read the news in The Palm Beach Post by Julius Whigham about the mayor’s State of the City address click on this link which includes much more information as well..

Also worth noting in the Post today is news about a food truck serving Philly steak sandwiches. This food truck may very well be at the Midnight Sun Festival beginning this Friday, possibly a new experience for our fun Finnish friends.

Now to the front page endorsement in the Herald. Have you been following the candidates and the issues? Good.

Not quite up to speed? Then go back to what you’ve been doing and Thank You for visiting once again today.

FREE SPEECH and thoughts from editor Mr. Mark Easton at the Herald; two excerpts:

In the District 2 Lake Worth City Commission race, the Lake Worth Herald endorses challenger Cathy Turk.

Turk shows spirit and concern for Lake Worth and all of its needs. Incumbent Omari Hardy has continuously brought partisan politics to the dais after being elected to a non-partisan seat and has shown no respect for his colleagues.

In the District 4 Lake Worth City Commission race, the Lake Worth Herald will not endorse. The imcumbent, Herman Robinson has brought nothing to the dais except partisan positions and issues which, by state law, the City Commission is preempted from making rules for.

and. . .

The Lake Worth Herald believes the cons heavily out weigh [sic] the pros with each candidate in the District 4 race.

And there’s more!

A sentence about more news in the Herald this week.

Also in this week’s paper is news about the recent 25th annual Street Painting Festival, the Midnight Sun Festival this coming weekend, Finnish guitarist Pontus J. Back and the band AMB, the Greater Palm Beach Rose Society, a helpful quarter-page ad for Las Americas Pharmacy in the nearby Town of Lake Clarke Shores, a brief Letter to the Letter from the Chair of the Tree Board by the honorable Mr. Richard Stowe, and a spotlight on John I. Leonard teacher Kerrigan Francis-Beckford by reporters by James Simone and Betty Turso, a “Tech Trailblazer Program” in the Palm Beach County public schools and the elementary school menu for Monday, March 4th–Friday, March 8th and an ad for the Lake Worth Jaguars football team, “Be Part Of The Team!”, LOCAL fishing news by Everglades Ernie, “Car Creepers” being sought by PBSO, the Official Notice of General Election sample ballot on p. 7, FLOLFing 2019 and dining and entertainment on p. 8, and since the City of Lake Worth does not have a hardware store there is a huge ad for ACE Hardware on 414 W. Lantana Rd. and at 1212 W. Lantana Rd. too and news about the Lake Worth Playhouse, “It Was A Very Good Year” starring Tony Sands and the 2019–2020 Playhouse Season and the specials at The Beach Club and Dave’s Last Resort & Raw Bar,

“After FINN FEST ‘Carry Your Wife’ in, AND FINNISH UP THE FEST!” and

news about the Salvation Army Annual Dinner, “It is About Hope” by Helen Vogt Greene with a photo and a caption too on p. 10 and Helen Vogt Greene again with the “Sugar Cane Tour: How Sweet It Is!”, on the next page is about the Rose Luncheon and the Dress For Success Sixth Annual Fundraising Luncheon and an ad for the very last Lake Worth Candidate Forum on March 7th at the Casino Ballroom, public notices on pp. 12–13, cartoons and puzzles and a “Trivia Test” by Fifi Rodriguez, the classifieds on p. 15, “The Great Taste of Lake Worth 2019” held last Friday prior to Street Painting and a list of participating restaurants and merchants with accompanying photos and all ending with a caption,


“Waiting in line for the wrist band before making the mad dash through the Downtown district in search of a 30+ course meal afoot.”


So that’s about it, a sentence summing up what happened and will be happening in L-Dud this week, published in The Lake Worth Herald today.

And a Special Thanks to Post reporter Julius Whigham.

Whigham was at the Lake Worth Casino and Beach Complex last Tuesday evening to report on the mayor’s State of the City address. Being there and posting a news report at 10:30 p.m. for the readers the next morning was very much appreciated here in the City of Lake Worth.

And was there another error in The Palm Beach Post today? Is the “Philly Grill on Wheels” food truck affiliated with the Philly Grill restaurant located in suburban Boca Raton with a ‘Lake Worth’ address? We’ll find that our a little later on this week at the Midnight Sun Festival.

You may not agree with the endorsements in the Herald today or you may not agree. That is called FREE SPEECH. And the Post reporting about the “Philly Grill on Wheels” ‘in Lake Worth’ is FREE SPEECH too!

Which is why everyone needs to follow the advice of Mr. Al Tompkins.


“The public needs to sort out what’s accurate and what’s true. And voters need to be responsible in understanding how they are being persuaded.”
