Hello Fairfield, Augusta and the Sun River Valley!

Savannah Calder, Publisher, Times-Enterprise Photo by Darryl L. Flowers My name is Savannah. Almost four years ago I made Simms my home. About two years ago I started working for Darryl Flowers at the Times-Leader. I can remember the day I went into the newspaper office in Fairfield. I walked through the door, met Darryl, and sat down for my interview. Immediately we started talking about why I would be good for the job position. At the end of the interview, I asked Darryl, “So, when can I start?” He looked at me with a smile and asked, “How about tomorrow?”. “Of course!” I said, “Great, see you tomorrow!”. My first day came and the story started writing itself, during that time I had made a friend and a mentor. Not realizing it in the moment but looking back at these last couple years, Darryl has been setting me up for success. He has been teaching me the ropes, Darryl didn’t just teach me one thing, he taught me many things.
