From the Newsroom: Gatehouse Media

SANTA ROSA BEACH — Crews are battling a wildfire that has grown to span 100 acres of a wooded between Goldsby Road and Mack Bayou Road in Santa Rosa Beach, officials say.

Goldsby Road is closed and 25 homes in the area have been evacuated, according to the Florida Forest Service.

Malaina Brown, who lives in one of the neighborhoods evacuated, said it was scary and stressful.

Music: "Not for me" by Barradeen

Hey listeners! This is Scott Yates. You may have seen my name at the bottom of photographs published by the Register Star in print and online. I also produce videos for our website and, yep, audio stories and podcasts too.

As a multimedia journalist, I’m most excited about digital projects like our podcast called “From the Newsroom: Rockford Register Star.”

Our Podcast mission: To have a freeform conversation with insightful guests that reward listeners who stick around. To explore the inspirations and struggles that drive local artists to create, and local newsmakers to shape how Rockfordians go about their daily lives.

The podcast is produced by me and powered by the journalism of the Rockford Register Star. The best way to support this podcast is through a digital subscription to the newspaper.

For more information, go to www.rrstar.com.

...And thanks!

Our guest is Rockford painter Kelvin Candie. Candie was born and raised in the Republic of Malawi, attended medical school in Russia, and now lives with his wife and dog in Rockford. Kelvin’s paintings draw inspiration from realism to abstract and experimental genres.

During this conversation he shares how he deals with past trauma through artistic expression - an idea he explores in his upcoming solo show called “Symphony of a broken mind,” which opens on May 25, at Loft Ten19 in Rockford.

Candie visited the Rockford Register Star newsroom on April 16th.
