college football weekend.
On Oct. 29, Jacksonville will once again host the annual football game between
the University of Florida and the University of Georgia, bringing an estimated
100,000 people to the city to spend money on hotels, food, beverages and

With the recent passing of her 20th birthday, University of North Florida
English major Kristina Circelli not only celebrates another candle on the cake,
but celebrates another literary accomplishment with the release of her second
novel.
“The Iron Fist” is the sequel to Circelli’s first novel, “The Helping Hands,”
which follows a gang of friends, dubbed the Helping Hands, who kidnap children
from abusive homes, saving them from their lives of pain. The second book of a
four-part series, “The Iron Fist” follows Melanie O’Connor, the reformed rebel
and leader of the Helping Hands, who has to decide between her new life of peace
and security and her old life of the gang and its cause.

Eight students from the University of North Florida aided victims in Biloxi,
Pascagoula and Ocean Springs, Miss., the weekend of Sept. 16 — after the tragic
effects of Hurricane Katrina devastated millions in three states.
“We went into a house that looked totally intact from the outside,” said
Director of Baptist Collegiate Ministry Ben Smith, who participated in the
relief effort.
