Good morning, St. Augustine.

In St. Augustine, a new public news and lifestyle network called Sunny St. Johns is launched by local figures Davey Hartzel and Meredith Masony.

The network mounts live productions from The Lab STA — featuring a morning show today and an afternoon series beginning on May 5 — to share local news and community stories.

St. Augustine History Festival will take place May 7-11 and offers more than 40 events at historic sites throughout town — including free tours, lectures and live demonstrations at locations like Castillo de San Marcos and the Colonial Quarter.

Organized by UF Historic St. Augustine and the Lastinger Family Foundation, the festival celebrates the city’s long past during National Historic Preservation Month.

A dozen St. Johns County schools are opening controlled enrollment from Monday, April 28 until May 15—parents from the county can join a lottery to add extra seats as some schools, like PVPV/Rawlings Elementary seeking to add over 260 students, participate.

PVPV/Rawlings will host an informational session on Wednesday, April 30 at 2:30 p.m. while officials confirm that consolidation of under-capacity schools is not planned.

William Evans, 52, of St. Augustine, won $1 million by playing the $1 million A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game when he bought a ticket at Publix on Palm Coast yesterday + he chose a lump sum payment of $640,000+.

UF Health and United Healthcare reached a multiyear deal that will let thousands with United Healthcare coverage use UF Health hospitals and doctors starting May 5—ending months of out-of-network access issues.
