The Beach Arts Cooperative is proud to announce upcoming The Orpheus Players' performance dates for the original play, “Sisters of the Sea”. Written by Sandra Riley and directed by Elizabeth D'Onofrio, “Sisters of the Sea” is a true story about the lives of famous female pirates Anne Bonny (Keri Hendry) and Mary Read (Lydia Frantz). 

The Third Annual Seven Tiki Pro kicked off this morning on the South side of the Jacksonville Beach Pier. Over 80 professional surfers from around the globe will battle it out for cash and prizes today and tomorrow.

By mid-morning the surf had picked up, with waist to chest high sets, near perfect conditions for the competition.

The contest boasts the largest prize purse in the state of Florida and is a part of a series in which the prize money totals almost $100,000.

Come out and enjoy the action today, Wednesday, Sept 28th and tomorrow, Thursday, Sept 29th.

The Postal Service is asking Americans for suggestions on who should be the first living person to be honored on a U.S. postage stamp.

The post office has been facing severe financial problems, and a boost in stamp collecting would mean additional revenue.
