http://naplesnews.com/staff/kevin_johnson/My earliest recollection of newspapers involved a puppy and Watergate. I guess what the puppy was depositing on those newspapers is what Nixon was doing to the country. At age 5, all I knew is that both caused a big stink. <p/>I wish I could say my journalistic curiosity was piqued by Woodward and Bernstein, but it was more (John) Wooden and Bernie (Carbo) that steered me toward a career in reporting. <p/>After growing up in Windsor Locks, Conn., I split my college years between Ohio State and Arizona State. I arrived in Florida in 2005 after working for seven years as editor of a weekly newspaper in Enfield, Conn., and serving as public-relations director for an Eastern Junior Hockey League team. <p/>The sports section is still the most vital part of a newspaper to me, though I grimly admit that obituaries seem to be gaining significance. <p/>I enjoy being the sports editor for Lee County and welcome all comments and suggestions. Better yet, a friendly "hello" at a game. en-ushttp://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89342/Estero sophomore Maya Rismay takes a jump shot while defended by South Fort Myers' Tae Dorris.Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:31:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89342/http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89341/Estero's Katelyn Sundin, left, and South Fort Myers' Courtney Snowden battle for position in the paiWed, 07 Jan 2009 18:18:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89341/http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89340/South Fort Myers forward Madison Wagner, right, is swarmed by Estero's Katelyn Sundin, left, and JacWed, 07 Jan 2009 18:13:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89340/http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89339/South Fort Myers junior guard Tae Dorris (12) dishes off the ball while guarded by Estero senior MegWed, 07 Jan 2009 18:11:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/07/89339/http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/06/89165/Opening day of the Citrus Park 50+ Softball League on Monday was highlighted by the dedication of thTue, 06 Jan 2009 19:18:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/06/89165/http://naplesnews.com/photos/2009/jan/02/88908/Forward Jimmy Gabrione carried a hot stick for the Everblades U-16 AAA team on Dec. 31.
