The housing rehabilitation grant is the first CDBG funds the county has received since 2001. Unlike the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP), which usually funds the county's housing program, the requirements of this grant only allow the funds to be used in the unincorporated area of the county, meaning those in Perry's city limits will not be eligible. The county used $125,000 of its SHIP funds as a match to receive the CDBG grant. "The purpose of the grant is to assist low and moderate income residents of Taylor County with the rehabilitation or replacement of single- '- Please see page 3 News Forum SAC meets at elementary school All interested individuals are invited to attend the upcoming Taylor County Elementary School Advisory Council (SAC) meeting Thursday, March 17, starting at 2 p.m. in the media center.

CASTELUCCI Staff writer Firefighters responding to a report of a woods fire off Plantation Road Monday found more than they bargained for-an active meth lab that evidently was the source of the blaze. Units from the City of Perry Fire Department, Division of Forestry and Taylor County Fire-Rescue all worked to contain the fire which started in a shed behind 602 Plantation Road, and spread into the adjoining yard and adjacent woods. Once the fire was contained, firefighters found several items often used in manufacture of methamphetamine. "A Division of Forestry employee, who had training in the recognition of meth labs, said when he saw the items, he had everyone pull back from the area and notified law enforcement," Perry Police Department (PPD) Ptl. F.W. Murray said. Det. Mike Anderson and Det. Dewayne Bratcher, members of the Taylor County Joint Drug ,.

Jackson, who was 19, attended school in Dixie County '. Please see page 3 Jenny Jackson 7 named to recreation advisory board Amid continued discussions at both the city and county over recreation funding, commissioners last week appointed seven people to the newly created Taylor County Recreation Advisory Board (TCRAB). The board will have the responsibility and authority to develop a guiding philosophy for the Taylor County Sports Complex, determine scheduling priorities for the use of its facilities, advise the county on all sports complex activities and develop policies and procedures relating to programming and facility use. Commissioners were set to appoint the board in February, but after receiving seven applicants, they decided to re-open the process for an additional month. The new board will consist of Yancie Brannen, Tony Chambers, Charles Joyal and Reggie Wentworth, who were among the original applicants, as well as Alan Hall, Grady Newberry and Shirley Scott, who applied during the extension. Others applying were Clay Crews, Clarence Parker and Jennifer Mosley from the original group, as well as Eric Bird and Wayne Dunwoody. The commission's policy for appointing board members is to have each commissioner rank all of the applicants with one being their favorite. The ballots are then tabulated to determine those nominated. At the start of the TCRAB discussions, however, Commissioner Pat Patterson said she was related by marriage (second cousin) to Dunwoody. County Attorney Conrad Bishop said it was close to the threshold of what the Florida Ethics Commission considers a conflict and recommended she abstain. Commissioner Mark Wiggins mentioned he was distantly related (third cousin) to Wentworth. Ultimately, Patterson abstained and Wiggins went forward with voting. Although the TCRAB ordinance calls for staggered terms--board members are appointed for three-year terms--this was not discussed at the meeting. In the past, the board has appointed staggered terms based on how the applicants were ranked once the ballots were tabulated. The TCRAB will meet at least once a month and be required to comply with Florida Sunshine Law for advisory boards, the ordinance states. In related news, County Administrator Jack Brown said during last week's meeting a baseball organization has agreed to hold a tournament at the sports complex in late April. TTI earns 'glowing'report by review team By MARK VIOLA Staff writer Taylor Technical Institution received a "glowing report" last week by a site review team sent by the Council on Occupational Education (COE). TTI must undergo such a review every five years to ensure its accreditation, with the COE I I . .- -- at..I aM -s team onsite March 7-10. COE is a national accrediting agency for post-secondary educational institutions which serves an 11-state region. "COE looks at the quality of the institution's programs," TTI Vocational Coordinator Jim Brannan. "While on campus, members of the visiting team talked with faculty, staff and students. "The administration, faculty and students are very ecstatic to receive the glowing report of the site review," he said. "The team complimented our school for the excellent documentation of the 10 standards." Those standards are Taylor Technical Institute received a "glowing" report from an evaluation team on site last week to renew the school's accreditation.

"TTI was cited as being an excellent, clean and organized institution," Brannan said. "This visit is very important. Our entire Title 4 funding relies on this. They could have theoretically shut us down if they pulled our accreditation." According to Brannan, the feam could have issued "recommendations," a serious issue which must be corrected in a prescribed amount of time, "suggestions," less serious issues which must still be corrected, or "accommodations," positive marks. TTI received no recommendations or suggestions by the team. "It shows the quality of the school," Brannan said. "One of the evaluators said, 'The only suggestion I have is that you keep on what you're doing.'" 'The team expressed that they could see evidence of our motto--'We can help'--by the care demonstrated when interacting with the students," Industry Services Coordinator George Clayton said. The Council on Occupational Education is an accrediting agency which serves an 11-state region "'We can help' is more than a motto, it's a philosophy," Brannan added. "They noted it was obvious that we were a team working together to make a difference in the lives of our students," Clayton said. "With such accolades, we are proud that we can continue to live by our motto as we embrace the idea that all individuals should have an opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to be successful in the world of work and life."

Charles Dean Legislature begins 2011 session Editor's Note: The following summary of the Legislature's first week of business in Tallahassee was featured in Senator Charles Dean's weekly newsletter, "The Dean Document," which was distributed Friday. The State Legislature formally began its 2011 Legislative Session on Tuesday, with its first floor sessions in the morning in both chambers. House Speaker Dean Cannon and Senate President Mike Haridopolos gave their opening remarks to their respective Chambers. Late on Tuesday, Governor Rick Scott gave his first "State of the State" speech, which continued a tradition started by former Governor Charlie Crist of giving the speech in the evening. Scott focused heavily on the themes he talked about throughout his campaign and during his first couple months in office. The Senate passed multiple bills on the floor including Senate Joint Resolution 2, more commonly known as the "Health Care Freedom Amendment." The bill proposes an amendment to the Florida Constitution which would prohibit the government from compelling residents to purchase health insurance. A similar measure passed the Legislature last year, but was struck down by the court before going to voters in November. The bill was rolled to a third reading. Senator John Thrasher, the chairman of the Rules Committee, delivered a report on the Senate floor from the Rules Committee which proposed Senate President Mike Haridopolos be read a letter of admonishment for violating ethics laws by omitting financial information in a financial disclosure form. The letter, outlining Haridopolos' mistake, which he admitted late last year, was read before the full Senate membership and put into the Senate Journal. As the Senate looks ahead ,-*, Please see page 5 Letters to the Editor March is Social Work Month Dear Editor: March is National Social Work Month which makes it an appropriate time for us to salute the valuable and important job that social workers provide all year long. When life's challenges become overwhelming, many people turn to a social worker for help. Here at Big Bend Hospice, we have 30 social workers who serve as family support counselors, grief counselors and Caring Tree counselors. They work tirelessly with our patients and families to help them cope with the many emotional and practical issues that accompany a life limiting illness. These dedicated professionals assist with everything from coordinating community resources to helping families solve personal and financial problems, to working through the emotional pain of dealing with an impending death. They recognize the family dynamics that are part of any life threatening disease and help patients reach out to conclude the important business of giving and receiving love and asking for and granting forgiveness. Often it is the social worker who will pause to recognize a special occasion in a patient's life and make sure that a birthday is celebrated or a caregiver gets a night out. Our wonderful social workers are; an impdrant part of our patient care team and our Big Bend Hospice family. The theme for the 2011 National Social Work Month is "Social Workers Change Futures." Time and again I have witnessed the powerful results of social workers both in our organization and in hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities in recognizing and meeting the needs of the people they serve. On behalf of Big Bend Hospice we applaud social workers for their caring hearts and their important contributions to our community. Sincerely, Carol Katz, RN Big Bend Hospice S Jefferson/Madison/Taylor County Team Manager Haunted by Baker Act experience Dear Editor: At 7:30 p.m. on March 8, I was removed from my house and taken to a mental health evaluation center for 72 hours as a result of a court order. I was taken into custody with only the clothes on my back. This action was taken even though there was no supporting evidence of a mental health problem. I later learned that my daughter certified to the court that I was mentally ill for the sole purpose of becoming a court-appointed guardian and to gain control of my financial assets. However, after a very extensive examination, and with me being locked up with several very seriously ill mental health patients, the attending physician determined that I had no mental health problems. As a matter of fact, one physician stated that my daughter could be charged with perjury. Additionally, it should be noted that the judge who issued the Baker Act order was contacted and requested to invalidate the allegation, however he refused and stated, "The experience would be good for her." It is also important to note that while locked up, my portable safe was removed from my home and is still missing Taco Times Wednesday, March 16, 2011 123 S. Jefferson Street P.O.

Scribner Ratliff deserves better fate Dear Editor: It has been years since I wrote an editorial, but this one has to be said. Glenn Ratliff deserves a better fate. I grew up playing football, baseball and softball with him. I applied for the same position he held for close to three decades. I worked alongside him in the recreation department. I later umpired and announced football games for him. The city and county should consider a huge bonus severance pay for him. I consider Glenn to be one of my best friends. Who will coordinate and direct the youth away from the street and into good clean physical fun? Volunteers? 'I don't think so. I know that Glenn will land on his feet and probably get a better job.

I---------_-_----,^^^_^^^_^_^_^^^^_ B b A-3 Taco Times March 16, 2011 Application deadline set Fri HOUSING REHABS <' Continued from page 1 family homes," County Grants Coordinator Melody Cox said. Mobile homes cannot be repaired with these funds, but if they are older than 1996 they can be replaced with a site-built home. Items eligible for repair include roofs, heating systems, plumbing, electrical and other code-related housing systems. According to Cox, the maximum amount that I can be spent on rehabilitation is $25,000. For demolition and reconstruction, the limit is $75,000. "You have to own the home," she said. "We can't do anything with rental property." To be eligible, applicants must meet household income thresholds. For a one-person household, the maximum income is $26,480; two- person, $30,240; three-person, $34,000; four-person, $37,760; five-person, $40,800; six- person, $43,840; seven-person, $46,880; and eight-person, $49,920. The county has a two-year deadline to spend the funds. It was penalized on its 2001 grant for not spending all of the money by the deadline and had to return some of it. Relay for Life meetings Members of the Relay for Life Committee and teams are reminded of the upcoming meetings Monday, March 21, at Evangel Christian. Committee members will meet at 5:30 p.m., followed by a team meeting at 6:30 p.m. Woodell to speak Marge Woodell will be the guest speaker at Monday's meeting of retired educators. The former teacher will discuss her recently completed book which focuses on the history of education in Taylor County. The meeting will be held at Rosehead Junction March 21, starting at 10:3Cra.m. April 15 Cox said she does not expect the county will have difficulty in spending the money by the deadline this time. Applications can be obtained by calling Meridian Community Services Group (which administers the county's housing program) at 866-466- 1975 or in person at the Taylor County Grants Office, located at 511 Industrial Drive (at Perry- Foley Airport) between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Applications must be received by April 15. Instructions are included in the application package. In related news, Cox said the county has finally caught up with its SHIP waiting list and will soon begin taking applications once more. Unfortunately, this year marks the second in a row in which the state has not funded the program, meaning the county only has enough funds to work on two to three projects, she said. Those funds will be targeted to projects within the city limits since the CDBG grant can only be used outside the city limits, she added. Cox said she approached the city about applying for its own CDBG rehabilitation grant, but they had already committed their CDBG grant for their sewer project. .9 . . .. An estimated three-tenths of an acre was scorched by a fire believed to have been triggered by an active methamphetamine "cook" behind a home on Plantation Road Monday. Above, PPD Inv. Mike Anderson speaks with Division of Forestry firefighters who assisted at the scene. The lab was dismantled and removed from the property. The average cost to clean up a lab is $3,000 to $6,000, and could be as high as $10,000 depending on the size of the operation. In the past, local agencies have been able to cover those costs through funds from the Drug Enforcement Adminstration (DEA). However, in recent weeks, local law enforcement agencies have been informed that those funds are no longer available. Grandson was using shed to cook meth METH LAB Continued from page 1 Task Force, responded to the call. Anderson, who is trained in the identification and disposal of labs, positively identified the items as that of an active lab. A man at the scene, Michael Stannard, 38, told investigators he was the grandson of the owner of the property and that he had been using the shed since January to manufacture methamphetamine for his personal use. He said that his grandmother thought he was using the shed to store his tools and work on his truck. During a subsequent interview, Stannard told officers that he was using meth "about two times a day" and utilized the "shake-n-bake" method to manufacture the drug. Stannard was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine; he is being held on a $500,000 bond at the Taylor County Jail. During clean-up of the lab, Anderson found evidence that pointed to 15 "cooks" at the site along with numerous bottles that had tubes sticking out of the top, Coleman fuel, cat littler, drain cleaner, batteries and several empty packets of Sudafed tablets. Anderson recovered all of the items and prepared them for removal by a licensed environmental company that specializes in the destruction of those types of chemicals. "Stannard's relative had no knowledge of what he was doing," PPD Capt. Jamie Cruse said. He also thanked Inv. Bratcher for his assistance in dealing with the family member and explaining to her what was happening during the clean-up and arrest. Victim shot multiple times MURDER VICTIM Continued from page 1 and had been involved with Pendarvis for approximately one year before the couple broke off their relationship. In the ensuing year and a half, Pendarvis had married another woman and was living in Newberry, Taylor County Sheriff's Office Capt. Ron Rice said. The pair met in Cross City Thursday night, March 3. Investigators are still pulling together a timeline of events that followed, which ended with Jackson's body being left along Stephens Landing Road off Highway 51 in Tennille, Rice said. "The incident was reported to the Dixie County Sheriff's Office, who took Pendarvis into custody as a person of interest. Shortly after midnight, on Friday, March 4, investigators then notified our office of a possibly fatally injured person in the area of Tennille. Deputies from both agencies conducted a foot-search of the area and that's when her body was found. She had been shot multiple times," Rice said. Jackson's body ,had, been dragged into the bushes. "An autopsy conducted Saturday determined that she did in fact die from gunshot wounds that were not self- inflicted," Rice said. "We continued our investigation and it was later on in the day on Friday that we charged Pendarvis with murder and tampering with evidence." According to additional reports, Pendarvis confessed to a family member around 2 a.m. (Friday) that he'd been in a hunting accident, but later divulged the truth to a deputy. Torrey Pendarvis Documentation filled three 6' tables Continued from page 1 program," said David Dunkle, TTI program coordinator and grants manager. "Without everybody, this could not have been done," he said. "For them to say the things they did about our school is awesome."

For more information and an application packet, please contact Taylor County Supervisor of Elections Dana Southerland at 838-3515. "It's probably the most intensive evaluation I've ever been through," Brannan said. He showed the documentation required for the visit, which sits in file folders spanning almost three six-foot tables. "The most time-consuming part was collecting the documentation," Dunkle said. 4 <( TFhe 'im ers of Perry, qnc. 1148 lfe(en Street Perry, 'Florida 850 584-7990 DOC ounces prisonrosings The Florida Departiet of Corrections announced its prison consolidation plan Tu*sday,'ihich officials said will save $30.8 million annually and result i i $25 million in further cost avoidance for Florida taxpayers. This plan will not result in the early release of inmates, according to Secretary Edwin Buss. The department ,will close three prisons, two boot camp programs and a road prison-one of which is located in nearby Tallahasse. Employees will be afforded the opportunity to fill vacancies at other facilities. The bulk of the cost savings will be generated through employee attrition. "This plan is the right thing to do because it will save Florida taxpayers millions of dollars. The facilities to be closed are older and require more resources to operate than newer institutions. Additionally, this initiative will provide the department with an opportunity to consolidate program resources which will allow for seamless delivery of evidence-based programs aimed to reduce recidivism. " The department will close the Brevard Correctional Institution (CI) in Cocoa, Hendry CI in Immokalee, Hillsborough CI in Riverview, Tallahassee Road Prison in Tallahassee, Lowell CI Boot Camp and Sumter Boot Camp. Additionally the Department will move close management inmates out of Charlotte CI in Punta Gorda to three other prisons. For the first time in years, the department has a surplus of beds allowing the agency to move inmates to other facilities as they continue to serve their full prison terms, Buss noted. The phase-out plan will begin immediately with a target completion date of June 30, 2011. The announcement came on the heels of Buss declaring Monday that in order to reduce healthcare costs and to make prisons safer, the DOC would be "tobacco-frep" in six months. Smoking bans have long been in place in all of Florida's public buildings and offices, over half of the state prisons in the United States already have similar bans, and since 2004, all of the prisons in the federal prison system have banned smoking on prison grounds, officials said. "Inmate smoking and second-hand smoking is costing millions in healthcare costs ea~ year. Eliminating smoking is a win for taxpayers, but it's als ~ or employees and inmates, making our facilities healthier work and live, and making them a little safer too," Buss s"ai'.' According to'the DO i.&the past year, inmates hospitalized for tobacco-related illn9 Tiave cost Florida taxpayers nearly $9 million 9 million doll.; : Snuffing out cigarettes i also result in cleaner prisons and by removing lighters, reduce, te chance of arson, Buss noted. The department is givifig'80 days notice to inmates and will offer smoking cessation assistance to inmates requesting help. Designated smoking areas will be set up for employees outside the prison fence. Community Reminders^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "This was a year and a half process which kicked off in January 2010." On Friday, Superintendent Paul Dyal sent an e-mail to all district employees congratulating TTI on its evaluation. "I want to say 'congratulations' to the administration, faculty and staff for such an outstanding review," he said. "I know all of the extra hours and hard work done by each of you to make sure this site visit was such a success.

Today approximately 65% of the population is overweight or obese. Let's take a look at a major contributing factor: Carbonated Soft Drinks. The truth about soda: * Carbonated soft drinks are one of the biggest contributors of calories in the American diet. This is significant, because sodas provide calories and carbohydrate, but have little or no nutritional value. * Liquid calories are not as satisfying as calories from solid food so people consume more fluid calories (sodas) to compensate---& ending up gaining weight. * People who drink sodas, juices, and other caloric beverages do not compensate for these calories by consuming fewer calories in food. * Soda is a major factor contributing to overweight and obesity. People who drink sugary sodas consume more calories overall than those who do not. - Carbonated beverage drinkers consume fewer healthful beverages, such as milk & water than those who do not drink sodas. * Soda servings have increased over the years. A typical 20-fluid-ounce soda contains 15 teaspoons of sugar. The average sports drink contains approximately 10 tsp. * Although the jury is still out, strong evidence exists to support the theory that diet sodas and artificial sweeteners act as appetite stimulants by tricking the body into believing that calories are coming in, even though they are not. * Soda consumption may contribute to osteoporosis and dental decay, because of: - Sugars in regular soda - Acids in both diet and regular soda * Studies are looking at a link between carbonated beverage consumption and heart disease. * To burn off the 250 calories in a 20-fl-oz soda, a 135- pound person would have to: - Walk 3 miles in 45 minutes - Play 40 minutes of vigorous basketball - Bicycle vigorously for 22 minutes * Most carbonated beverages, fruit drinks, fruit juices, iced teas, sports drinks, and energy drinks contain similar calories (from 120-160 calories/12-fl-oz serving). The body processes these beverages the same way it processes sugar. * Studies show that overweight children consume more soda-both diet and regular soda, than normal weight children. * Soda drinkers have poorer bone density. * Drinking 1 can of soda a day increases a child's risk of obesity 60%. * Drinking 1 or 2 cans of soda a day can affect a child's mood and performance. It also can increase anxiety and reduce the ability to sleep well. * Soda companies spend more money on marketing their products than almost anything else. And they target all populations, which is one reason soda consumption has become an epidemic. A-5 Taco Times March 16, 2011 Letters to the Editor 'We still have no alternative to oil' Where is all the renewable energy? Dear Editor: Where is all the wonderful renewable energy? Where is the energy, period? Remember when George Bush wanted to increase oil production in the U.S. in order to insure our energy supply and all you "environmentalists," liberal democrats and other liberals went berserk? You said he and Dick Cheney were part of that horrible big oil business and wanted to make money by destroying the environment. You started the talking point "it will take 10 years to bring the oil to market so we have to get into renewable instead." Bill Nelson and then Obama picked up the Dean proposes bill to simplify applying for boating licenses CAPITOL UPDATE how much each section of Senate Bill 968, which Continued from page 2 the budget will be allocated simplified the process by which Continued from page 2 .and nnce those allocanrtins are boaters can obtain boating to formulate a budget, Senate Budget Chairman, JD Alexander said Senate leadership may issue budget allocations, which are the individual breakdown amounts for major pieces of the budget, as early as this week. Senate and House Leadership determine determined much of the real work on the budget line items will go forward. Alexander also signaled layoffs for state workers may likely appear in the Senate budget. Senator Charlie Dean had a number of bills pass through the committee process, including licenses through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Senate Bill 224 which is a government accountability bill, and discussion continued on his septic tank inspection bill in the Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee, which he chairs. chant when they came on the scene. Now the 10 years are up. If you had listened to George Bush and us conservatives, we would have thousands of good paying, blue collar oil field jobs and hundreds of thousands of oil service jobs as well as spin-off jobs, not to mention increased property values. We could be using the profits, wages and taxes to invest in research and market-based development of alternative energy sources. You liberals won the day politically and we are throwing politically- directed billions at the problem. We still have no alternative to oil, we're more dependent than ever on the Arabs plus we're broke and now dependent on China for money to buy Arab oil.

Yarbrough and moved to Perry in 1954, where Bill went to work at the newly founded Buckeye Cellulose Corporation. They were members of Lakeside Baptist Church until Bill's retirement in 1980, at which time they moved back to Waldo. Mary remained in Waldo after Bill's passing in 1998, and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Waldo. Mary quickly became involved in many activities after moving to Quincy She was a member of Santa Clara Baptist Church. She also could be found every Monday and Thursday at the Tallahassee Senior Center playing canasta, a card game she had enjoyed playing for many years. Mary was diagnosed with peritoneal ovarian cancer in January 2011. The courage and wisdom she displayed over the short two and a half months are an inspiration and a source of strength for all those around her. The outpouring of support and love she received from so many in the past few months is a testament to the number of lives she touched. Mary was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. She is survived by two sons; Barl (Patsy) Roberts of Stone Mountain, Ga., and Don (Martha Haynes) Yarbrough of Wakulla, Fl., her daughter Gail (John) Cutrer of Quincy, Fl., her sister Ann (Linton C.)

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Big Bend Hospice of Quincy or Santa Clara Baptist Church of Quincy. The family extends a special thank you to Doctors Zorn and Lewis, the staff of TMH Cancer Ward, and Big Bend Hospice, for their loving care and attention to our mother, Mary. She was a strong and loving woman who will be greatly missed. Gratitude Good morning, students. Here are a few words of wisdom... A Man With No Shoes was feeling very sorry for himself, walking through the streets, full of self-pity and anger. He thought life was so unfair. Why didn't he have shoes like others? He came upon a man sitting on a blanket, playing a flute. The music was so beautiful that it lifted the spirits of the Man With No Shoes and he began to dance. "Come dance with me!" he said to the man sitting on the blanket. The man replied, "I can't, brother. I have no feet." That reminds me of an old Irish proverb: "Be happy with what you have and you will have plenty to be happy about." Make it a great day or not. The choice is yours.

"This event has been a symbol of the commitment of early childhood services providers in Taylor County for more than a decade and this year the theme has been expanded to include the Pinwheels for Prevention "Along with fun activities for children, parents are afforded the opportunity for education on community resources and given information that supports the theme of early childhood development. Among the partners in the collaborative effort are Pre-K, Head Start, Even Start, Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend, AT / campaign in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month," Sandy MacDonald, chair of the coordinating committee, said. Each year in Taylor County, early childhood service providers use the venue of the Children's Fun Festival to bring parents out to educate them on the services available in the community Healthy Start Coalition, Taylor County Health Department, and many, many other local service providers. "We are so pleased to be using the Pinwheels for Prevention theme this year, since what we have been doing for over a decade is exactly what the campaign hopes to accomplish in communities, which is shedding light on the community's role in prevention," said MacDonald. In support of local campaign efforts, PCA Florida is providing educational materials for parents and advocates and broadcasting public service announcements that highlight the fact that investing in effective prevention is less costly to society, and to individuals, than trying to fix problems later. "The fact is, when we invest in healthy child development, we are ultimately investing in community and economic development. While there are many innovative child development efforts being implemented in Florida, we can and should increase our investment in effective prevention," said Christie Ferris, executive director of PCA Florida. Pinwheels for Prevention is the grassroots signature campaign for PCA America and its 48 chapters nationwide. The pinwheel represents a united effort to change the way our nation thinks about prevention, focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize healthy child development and prevent child abuse and neglect before it ever begins.

TCMS Academic Team wins The Taylor County Middle School (TCMS) Academic Team participated in the Big Bend Brain Bowl in Tallahassee Thursday, March 10. Twenty-four area schools were represented in the tournament. Each school competed in six rounds--the school you competed against in the first three rounds was "luck of the draw"; the final three rounds were determined by standings. The TCMS Academic Team won five of its six rounds, beating out Cornerstone, R.F. Munroe, MaClay, Suwannee County and Trinity Catholic in direct competition to earn third place overall. "It was a very exciting day--especially when, during the breaks between the fourth and fifth round and the fifth and sixth round, other teams and their sponsors were coming up to us and making comments like, 'we've been hearing about Taylor County'," said Sponsor Yvonne Heartsfield. Competing at the brain bowl were: Captain (and team high scorer) Anthony Carter, Cole MacNeill, Dimple Desai, Michael Hicks, Mitchell Davis and Angel Ketring.
