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/news/2009/jan/07/deep-bench-helps-south-hoopsters/Deep bench helps South hoopstersWed, 07 Jan 2009 16:06:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/deep-bench-helps-south-hoopsters/http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/06/citrus-park-honors-one-its-own/Citrus Park honors one of its ownTue, 06 Jan 2009 19:16:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/06/citrus-park-honors-one-its-own/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/south-winning-streak-ends-13/South winning streak ends at 13Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:06:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/south-winning-streak-ends-13/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/29/south-stays-undefeated-win-over-pace/South stays undefeated with win over PaceTue, 30 Dec 2008 00:24:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/29/south-stays-undefeated-win-over-pace/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/29/jr-blades-fall-jr-bulls/Jr. Blades fall to Jr. BullsMon, 29 Dec 2008 21:16:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/29/jr-blades-fall-jr-bulls/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-ryan-clase-estero-boys-gol/2008 Fall Athletes of the Year: Ryan Clase, Estero, boys golfThu, 25 Dec 2008 04:18:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-ryan-clase-estero-boys-gol/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-molly-dubrasky-estero-girl/2008 Fall Athletes of the Year: Molly DuBrasky, Estero, girls swimmingThu, 25 Dec 2008 04:16:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-molly-dubrasky-estero-girl/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-erick-montoya-estero-boys-/2008 Fall Athletes of the Year: Erick Montoya, Estero, boys cross countryThu, 25 Dec 2008 04:11:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/24/2008-fall-athletes-year-erick-montoya-estero-boys-/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/youngsters-shine-estero-girls-soccer/Youngsters shine for Estero girls soccerTue, 16 Dec 2008 20:22:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/youngsters-shine-estero-girls-soccer/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/earle-paces-pack/Earle paces the PackTue, 16 Dec 2008 20:01:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/earle-paces-pack/
