EveryChild welcomes individuals, organizations, provider agencies, and families who share a commitment to the following ideals to actively work together to assure family life for children with developmental disabilities:
- With the right support, every child should be able to live with a family.
- Supporting parents to care for their child is the first priority.
- When parents cannot care for their child, the next best option for the child is to identify another family to provide care temporarily until the child can return home or long-term if return home is not likely.
- When a child cannot remain at home, assuring a family for a child requires finding a good match between the child, another family, and the child’s family, taking into account the needs of the child and the ability of both families to form a collaborative relationship to support the child.
- Moving a child from a residential facility to a family home requires careful planning and a period of transition that takes as long as necessary to assure the family is prepared and supported to provide a safe and nurturing home on a long-term basis.
- Ongoing, individualized support for children and families is critical to long-term success.
When systems don’t work well to support family life, efforts to affect system change require active engagement.
EveryChild seeks to interest individuals and families in becoming Support Families for children with disabilities.
- Support Families offer an alternative to institutional placement when parents are unable to care for their children with developmental disabilities at home.
- A Support Family is a family who is recruited, evaluated, trained, prepared, monitored by a provider agency, and paid to care long-term for a child with a disability in their home. Support Families offer the reliability of trained and supervised caregivers within the nurturing environment of family life.
EveryChild seeks to promote an alternative to institutional care called “shared parenting.” Shared parenting describes an arrangement where care of a child is jointly shared across two households, between parents and a supportive alternate family. Shared parenting can be an innovative way to provide an alternative to a facility by providing practical assistance to a family while enabling a child to enjoy the benefits of family life when they can’t live at home. Children can live with another family (called a Support Family) and yet remain an integral part of their own family’s life.
Parents report that the experience of having another family who values their child is tremendously supportive, rather than threatening or causing guilt. A Support Family can become like extended family.
A child’s needs are best met when parents and a Support Family form a trusting relationship and work together on the child’s behalf. A successful arrangement involves a good relationship between the child and the Support Family, but also between the Support Family and the child’s parents. The two families work out a “parenting coalition” where they develop a workable agreement about their mutual expectations.
You can hear from parents and Support Families who are engaged in shared parenting arrangements by linking to our Stories.
Special situation for children in Child Protective Services
For children whose parents are involved in the child protective system, the interaction between the Support Family and the parents are outlined as part of a child protection plan which is monitored by state agency staff and the court. A shared parenting arrangement could be designed with the close collaboration between the child protective system and both families.
EveryChild seeks to promote the principles of permanency planning for children with developmental disabilities. “Permanency planning” is a term used by service systems to describe a philosophy and a planning process for children that focuses on facilitating a long-term living arrangement with the primary feature of an enduring and nurturing parental relationship.
Permanency involves two principles of optimal child development:
- Children need the emotional security and continuity of a nurturing parental relationship.
- Children need the physical security and continuity of a stable, safe living arrangement.
Permanency planning has been required by federal legislation in child welfare systems for twenty years But permanency planning has only recently been used in disability services systems. Applying permanency as a concept which originated in the child welfare system in disability services requires modifications to address the voluntary participation of parents whose rights are intact.

A pair of armed men attempted to rob a fireworks stand in Austin late Monday evening but one of the employees returned gun fire, authorities said.
The Travis County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call just before midnight from a caller who said he was robbed and shot at.
Deputies responded to the fireworks stand in the 100 block of West Howard Lane. The employees told deputies they were robbed at gunpoint by two subjects.
Both men, according to their statements, were wearing all black, with masks. One of them was wearing a beanie.

One of the employees fired his weapon at the robbers and hit one of them, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies searched the area. Less than half a mile from the robbery scene, deputies found a Hispanic male with multiple non-life-threatening gunshot wounds hiding behind a residential fence. He was transported to a hospital and is now in custody.
Deputies have not located the second suspect. No further details were released.

She sought to breathe one word, but vainly;
Too many listeners were nigh;
And yet my timid glance read plainly
The language of her speaking eye.
When everything's dead
and you're the only survivor.
When everything's gone
with no hope to go on.
The Silent Lover (i)
Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams:
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb;
So, when affection yields discourse, it seems
The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
Sir Walter Raleigh
The wounds will heal,
With hours that pass.
What you feel,
Spills from your glass.
The Old Huntsman
I've never ceased to curse the day I signed
A seven years' bargain for the Golden Fleece.
'Twas a bad deal all round; and dear enough
It cost me, what with my daft management,
Is it not strange? A year ago to-day,
With scarce a thought beyond the hum-drum round,
I did my decent job and earned my pay;
Was averagely happy, I'll be bound.
A Rainy Day
Oh, what a blessed interval
A rainy day may be!
No lightning flash nor tempest roar,
But one incessant, steady pour
As yon great Sun in his supreme condition
Absorbs small worlds and makes them all his own,
So does my love absorb each vain ambition
Each outside purpose which my life has known.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Dim, as the borrow'd beams of moon and stars
To lonely, weary, wand'ring travellers,
Is reason to the soul; and as on high,
Those rolling fires discover but the sky
Know you her secret none can utter?
Hers of the Book, the tripled Crown?
Still on the spire the pigeons flutter,
Still by the gateway flits the gown;
Sir Arthur Quiller-couch
Love Is Enough
Love is enough: though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
A Sourdough Story
Hark to the Sourdough story, told at sixty below,
When the pipes are lit and we smoke and spit
Into the campfire glow.

King Henry Vii And The Shipwrights
Harry, our King in England, from London town is gone,
And comen to Hamull on the Hoke in the Countie of Suthampton.
For there lay the Mary of the Tower, his ship of war so strong,
And he would discover, certaynely, if his shipwrights did him wrong.
He brought me his report card from the teacher and he said
He wasn't very proud of it and sadly bowed his head.
He was excellent in reading, but arithmetic, was fair,
And I noticed there were several 'unsatisfactorys' there;
Edgar Albert Guest
At home, in my flannel gown, like a bear to its floe,
I clambered to bed; up the globe's impossible sides
I sailed all night—till at last, with my black beard,
My furs and my dogs, I stood at the northern pole.
With short, sharp, violent lights made vivid,
To southward far as the sight can roam,
Only the swirl of the surges livid,
The seas that climb and the surfs that comb.
Adam Lindsay Gordon
The three ghosts on the lonesome road
Spake each to one another,
“Whence came that stain about your mouth
No lifted hand may cover?”
Only Words... My Son
Yield to love; both a proper self-love
and a sincere love for others.
One that will do no harm to you or your neighbor,
both here and for eternity.
Staying At Ed's Place
I like being in your apartment, and not disturbing anything.
As in the woods I wouldn't want to move a tree,
or change the play of sun and shadow on the ground.
She bade me follow to her garden, where
The mellow sunlight stood as in a cup
Between the old grey walls; I did not dare
To raise my face, I did not dare look up,
D. H. Lawrence
He shouts in the sails of the ships at sea,
He steals the down from the honeybee,
He makes the forest trees rustle and sing,
He twirls my kite till it breaks its string.
The murmurs ebb; onto the stage I enter.
I am trying, standing in the door,
To discover in the distant echoes
What the coming years may hold in store.
I had a dream, a dream of dread:
I thought that horror held the house;
A burglar bent above my bed,
He moved as quiet as a mouse.
What can I give you, my lord, my lover,
You who have given the world to me,
Showed me the light and the joy that cover
The wild sweet earth and the restless sea?
'AH! don't you remember, 'tis almost December,
And soon will the holidays come;
Oh, 'twill be so funny, I've plenty of money,
I'll buy me a sword and a drum. '
Not the end: but there's nothing more.
Sweet Summer and Winter rude
I have loved, and friendship and love,
The crowd and solitude:
The Iliad: Book 22
Thus the Trojans in the city, scared like fawns, wiped the sweat
from off them and drank to quench their thirst, leaning against the

Sam Smith has made important strides for the LGBT community this morning by being the first openly gay man to visit a nearby gymnasium.
The move comes days after Smith became the first openly gay man to receive an Academy Award apart from Elton John, Sir Ian McKellen and around fifty others.
Smith hopes the decision will make it easier for gay men to operate in a world that was hitherto the preserve of rough and ready hetero tigers and builders.
Upon entering the gym, Smith said, “I just want everyone here to know that I’m gay and that’s cool and if anyone else is – that’s ok too.”
Smith admitted he wanted to shine some light on the issue of gays not visiting gyms “because of who I am.”
“People will see me doing twenty bench presses followed by five reps of squat thrusts and think ‘being gay shouldn’t prevent me from doing that’.”
Smith went on, “I’m sure there were other gays there, but they weren’t being open about it. That’s an important difference.”
However nearby gay man Simon Williams said, “I’ve been here since around 6.30 am this morning and in that time I’ve got three phone numbers.”
Smith added, “Ok, so I’m the second openly gay man to visit this gymnasium.
“Or maybe the fourth.
“Three other guys? That’s disgusting. What is it with you lot?”

Hometrack have recently published the UK Cities Price index data for October, revealing that the UK City House Price inflation has increased to 6% the highest rate of growth since September 2016 and above the UK average growth rate of 4.7%.
The report highlights robust growth in house prices where affordability remains attractive and unemployment levels are low with Manchester (7.9%) and Birmingham (7.3%) registering the fastest growth. The report goes on to predict a potential house price increase of 20 – 25% over the 15 year average in these areas as long as mortgage rates remain low and the economy continues to grow. In contrast house prices in Aberdeen continue to fall at -3.1%.
London prices continue to stabilise, with a price increase of 3%, although this includes the London City index, this increase is mainly being driven by outlying commuter areas. In Central London prices are flat to falling in single digits, the gap between asking and achieved prices is also greater in inner London at 8 – 10%. However the strength of house price growth over recent years means there is significant equity in the London market to absorb the impact of price falls.
Overall house prices are in the process of adjusting to what buyers are willing / or able to pay. Tax changes for investors and low yields have seen a reduction in investor demand in London. Mortgaged first time buyer numbers are also down 15% in the last three years.
The report predicts the recent stamp duty changes will also have limited impact particularly in London where the greatest barrier remains the level of income to pass mortgage affordability tests.

5 Ways To Know You Need To Buy New Tyres
Tyres are an extremely essential part of your car. They remain in direct contact with the road and they are responsible for driving stability, braking efficiency, and superb handling.
Good quality tyres are made to last for five to ten years but this depends on how you drive, the road quality, car weight, number of passengers and many other factors.
As a car owner, you must check and replace tyres that show significant wear and tear.
At Tyre Shopper, you will find a range of premium and cheap tyres to choose from including the popular budget brand Autogreen Tyres.
1. Checking Your Old Tyres for Wear and Tear
There are several easy ways to tell when your tyres are getting old.
In the UK, tyres have to be replaced if the tread pattern depth decreases to 1.6 millimetres or less across central ¾ tread area of the tyre.
Here are a few methods by which you can measure the tyre wear at home or by yourself.
Pinch the coin so that you can see the writing and coin image clearly.
Place the coin into the tread grooves. Repeat the test at several different sections of the same tyre. If more than half the coin is visible, then your part worn tyres will need replacing.
3. Use a Tyre Tread Depth Gauge
This is a slightly specialised method of checking tyre wear patterns. Tread depth gauges are sold by almost every garage, and your local service station may lend you their gauge to measure the tread depth.
You may consider asking your local garage to check the tread depth as some garages may do this for free.
4. Check for Abnormal Wear Patterns
To detect uneven wear patterns, you must rotate your tyres and evaluate the entire tyre.
Do this by using the Penny Test on different parts of the same tyre.
If the Penny test reveals a significant wear in one or two areas and a lot less wear in other parts, it might still be worth looking to replace your tyres. Here, your tyres will still fall into the part worn tyres category, even if the wear is not present overall.
Another way of checking is to remove the tyres from the vehicle and undertake a thorough visual inspection.
5. Check for Abnormal Bulges and Bubbles
Uneven tyre pressure can result in bulges or bubbles and this may result in blowouts.
If you spot bulges or bubbles on the sidewall, replace your old immediately with new tyres.
Replacing Your Old Tyres
Chances are your tyres will pass all these tests as most tyres are meant to last anywhere from five to ten years, but this post is just a guideline.
To ensure your safety, you must replace tyres that are more than six years old, or when the tread pattern tends to wear out, whichever comes sooner.
If you find that it’s time to replace your tyres, go to the Tyre Shopper website where you can use our online search engine to find the right tyres for your vehicle.
Once you pay for the tyres, they are delivered directly to a service centre close to your home for fitting.
All you need to do then is drive your car to the local centre and the tyres will be installed immediately.

Grim year for Wellington sport
Wellington sport had its usual forgettable sports year in 2013.
Except for odd pockets of sports sunlight, which serve only to offer false dawns, Wellington sport underperforms to a remarkable level year after year.
The fate of Ricki Herbert probably summed up the year.
He began 2013 as the All Whites and Phoenix coach and has now lost both jobs.
The Phoenix were 10th and last in the A-League when Herbert lost the Phoenix job in February. Chris Greenacre took over, but it didn't help - the Phoenix still finished last, despite super striker Jeremy Brockie's 16 goals during the season.
For the 2013-14 season, Ernie Merrick is in charge, and still the Phoenix are propping up the points table.
The All Whites had hoped to repeat their wonderful 2009 performance and qualify for another World Cup, but 5-1 (away) and 4-2 (in Wellington) losses to Mexico put paid to those thoughts.
Herbert copped some blame for his strategic planning. It must be said, however, that Herbert shepherded Wellington and New Zealand football through some exciting times. He deserves credit for that.
Wellington cricketers haven't won a trophy for years. In 2012-13 the men finished halfway down the Plunket Shield table, lost in the one-day semi-finals and lost the Twenty20 final to Otago.
In Andy McKay, Grant Elliott, James Franklin, Jeetan Patel, Michael Papps, Mark Gillespie, Luke Ronchi and Jesse Ryder, there were plenty of big names. But they couldn't deliver consistently.
This season Ryder has headed to Otago, under-rated all-rounder Harry Boam is in hibernation and speedster Scott Kuggeleijn is back with Northern Districts. Strike bowler Brent Arnel has shifted to Wellington.
The personnel has changed, but the results have remained spotty.
In the women's game, Sophie Devine, Lucy Doolan and Sian Ruck, all internationals, played well and Wellington were second to Otago in the Twenty20 competition and third in the one-day tournament. Still no silverware.
Wellington netball fans have also had a long wait, but the signs are propitious.
Central Pulse coach Robyn Broughton has gathered a team of internationals - including Katrina Grant, Liana Leota, Donna Wilkins, Te Huinga Reo Selby-Ricket, Camilla Lees, Paula Griffin and Joline Henry.
They finished fifth in the trans- Tasman championship, easily their best result. Now further boosted by veteran shooter Irene van Dyk, the Pulse are looking for a semi-finals berth or better in 2014.
With players of the calibre of Dane Coles, Jeffery Toomaga- Allen, Jeremy Thrush, Victor Vito, Beauden Barrett, Conrad Smith, Cory Jane, Julian Savea and TJ Perenara - all chosen for the All Blacks in 2013 - you might think Wellington would have pressed for domestic rugby honours.
But no - the Hurricanes managed just 11th in the Super 15. The Lions threatened to win the ITM Cup for domestic rugby, heading the round robin section and smashing Counties-Manukau in the semi. But in the final at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington were comprehensively outplayed 29-13 by Canterbury.
Wellington swimmers acquitted themselves well, Fiona Robinson, Gareth Kean, Samantha Lee and Samantha Lucie-Smith all earning selection for the world champs in Barcelona, where their efforts were overshadowed by Lauren Boyle's heroics.
The pick of Wellington's swimmers, however, was Paralympian Mary Fisher, who won five gold medals and a silver at the IPC world champs in Montreal. Fisher excelled in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and medley.
Lee, a former world surflifesaving champion, won the women's section of the German Cup - the world rescue champs - in Germany in November, a notable achievement.
Wellington were nowhere to be seen in the national senior hockey, golf or tennis events, but Martin Knight did bring a swell of pride by winning the New Zealand men's squash title, scoring an upset win over Campbell Grayson in the final.
Sadly, Wellington lost two of its stalwarts when hardworking rugby league administrator and historian Bernie Wood and former Wellington rugby coach Bill Freeman died during the year.

'I am unique‚' Hlaudi Motsoeneng tells CCMA hearing
Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng on Thursday said he stood by a statement he made at a media briefing in April 2017 which ultimately led to his dismissal.
Motsoeneng also maintained that the board of the public broadcaster did not have the authority to institute disciplinary proceedings against him. Only then Acting Group CEO James Aguma had the power to do so.
Motsoeneng was at the Commission for Conciliation‚ Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) on Thursday‚ challenging his dismissal from the SABC.
He was dismissed in June 2017 after being found guilty of bringing the broadcaster into disrepute following the media conference he called earlier on April 19.
During cross-examination by the SABC‚ he told the commission that the board delegated its powers to discipline managers to the group CEO.
He said this meant the disciplinary hearing of a COO would be handled by the employee's line manager‚ in this case the CEO.
When asked whether he agreed with a statement by the disciplinary committee chair‚ advocate Nazeer Cassim SC‚ that the media briefing was designed to boost his ego‚ Motsoeneng disagreed‚ and said that was Cassim's opinion.
"I stand by my statement. I want to repeat: There is one Hlaudi in South Africa. I am unique. There cannot be another one. There is nothing wrong about that statement‚" Motsoeneng said.
Motsoeneng said there was nothing wrong with what he had said at the briefing‚ which he said had been organised by the "Friends of Hlaudi"‚ as he was responding to allegations made against him by an ad hoc committee looking into the affairs if the SABC.
"The SABC should be very ashamed to bring these charges .... That is my character. There is no ego there. Ego for what‚" asked Motsoeneng.
He said he had been responding to malicious allegations levelled against him.
Motsoeneng said that Aguma had given him permission to hold the media briefing to deal with governance at the SABC.
But he was referred to a provision in the SABC disciplinary code‚ which said notwithstanding the delegation of its powers‚ the board did not lose its powers that had been delegated.
Motsoeneng disagreed with this assertion.
"My line manager‚ Mr Aguma gave me permission to address the press‚" he said.
SABC lawyer Paul Myburgh said Aguma was a person who had shown blind commitment to Motsoeneng‚ as the High Court in Cape Town had found in a 2016 judgment setting aside Motsoeneng's disciplinary hearing in 2015.
Motsoeneng said that question was irrelevant to the dismissal issue he was facing.
When asked if the fact that the board had resolved to initiate disciplinary action against him did not impair his opportunity to state his case‚ Motsoeneng said the board did not have authority to do what they did.
"It is unfair. It is unlawful."
When informed that he had elected not to give oral evidence at his disciplinary hearing‚ Motsoeneng explained he was in hospital and accused the SABC of doing everything in a hurry‚ "knowing I was in hospital".
"I was forced to put an affidavit. l was not fit after the operation."
The hearing continues.

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. (MassMutual), as part of a broader strategy to expand its share of the defined benefit (DB) pension market, is introducing an analysis tool to help employers gauge the relative health of their pension plans and manage them accordingly.
MassMutual’s PensionSmart Analysis tool is available to pension plan sponsors through financial advisers and consultants who serve the pension recordkeeping, investments and actuarial marketplaces. The PensionSmart Analysis tool provides plan sponsors with a diagnosis or assessment of their plan’s health, including insights on funding levels, administrative efficiencies and expense savings, improved communications to participants and design recommendations. The analysis also examines funding, investment and de-risking strategies to help sponsors make the best long-term decisions about managing their pension plans.
As part of the analysis of pension investments, the PensionSmart Analysis tool can examine different investment “glide path” options to help sponsors achieve specific goals related to funding and liability matching, according to Michael O’Connor, leader of MassMutual’s Defined Benefit Pension unit. MassMutual can also asses and recommend de-risking strategies as more sponsors look to reduce liabilities from pensions.
With the results of the tool’s analysis in hand, MassMutual’s pension experts can then assess the pension plan’s health and make recommendations to the sponsor about appropriate options.
In addition, advisers and consultants can use the PensionSmart Analysis tool to generate a listing of pension plans in their area and determine which plan sponsors might benefit the most from a health analysis. The PensionSmart Analysis tool displays information about the sponsor, type of plan, size of the pension in assets and number of participants, funding level, status and service model.

Investment management firms Cannae and Senator Investment Group responded to CoreLogic's rejection of the group's proposal to acquire CoreLogic, a real estate data analytics firm, for $7bn.
"Our offer represents a compelling 37% premium above the unaffected price after which date the Company's trading volume rose over 2.6x.1 We note in the Company's release today it says it is "willing to meet" with us, however we have yet to hear back from them despite our multiple requests for a meeting. If CoreLogic elects to ignore its shareholders and instead continues with its current course of action, we will call a Special Meeting to replace the Board as early as July 28," Cannae and Senator Investment Group.
CoreLogic is advised by Sard Verbinnen & Co. Senator is advised by Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft. Cannae is advised by Trasimene Capital, Weil Gotshal and Manges and Sloane & Company.

The acquisition increases personal lines premiums by $4bn and market share by over 1 percentage point to 10%. National General's business and technology platforms will be utilized to further strengthen Allstate's existing independent agent businesses.

As a stormy wind can uproot a frail tree
so one who holds heedlessly to pleasure,
who indulges in food and is indolent,
can be uprooted by Mara
Dhammapada v. 7
How can we know the right amount of things? Our senses and society often tell us that we need more. The global economy is based on conditioning us to believe we are lacking. If our refuge is in an expanded awareness, freed from the compulsive habit of taking sides, we are in a position to contemplate the conditioning process. It is essential we recognize that we don’t have to be enslaved by our environment. The work of inner reflection can lead to a confidence independent of popular belief or cultural bias. We are allowed to experiment with not eating so much or having an opinion on everything. It’s fine to be quiet and cultivate contentment. Contentment doesn't have to mean abdication. What matters is when a storm strikes, are we blown over by it. From where do we get our strength?

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, the Brenham Pet Adoption Center is offering a holiday discount for adoptions.
As part of the center’s “St. PAWtrick’s Day” special, adoptions for all dogs and cats will be $10 for today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday).
Animal Services Manager Allison Harper says the center has had a high amount of owner surrenders the last couple of weeks. The center typically tries to place these animals as soon as it can, since they know what it’s like to have a home.
The Brenham Pet Adoption Center can be found at 1804 Longwood Drive. They are open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Gangs, Shooting Deaths Test High School’s War Against Violence
PITTSBURGH (AP) _ The gang-related shooting deaths of a popular high school football player and a promising recent graduate have stunned students and teachers who thought they were winning a long war against violence.
Dorion Reid, a 16-year-old All-City player, was gunned down by a reputed gang member early Jan. 28 at a fast-food restaurant about 10 blocks from Peabody High School.
His death came only weeks after the murder of 18-year-old Javon Thompson, a recent Peabody graduate and Carnegie Mellon University art student who was outspoken in his opposition to gang violence.
Reputed gang members have been arrested in both shootings.
``It was a setback because we were doing real well,″ said Bill Marszalek, president of Peabody’s parent-teachers’ association who has two daughters in the school.
Despite intensifying gang rivalries in surrounding neighborhoods, Peabody High School has fought to preserve a history of producing the best and brightest students.
The school has one of the city’s best student literary magazines; its graducates include Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conductor Lorin Maazel, author John Edgar Wideman and actor Gene Kelly.
Gang-related conflicts among Peabody students in 1993 were so intense that during football games, some quarterbacks wouldn’t pass to teammates from enemy neighborhoods.
After fights in the school and an after-school shooting incident three blocks away, Principal Vernon Phillips assembled a group of volunteer counselors to establish the school as neutral ground.
The school installed closed-circuit cameras and metal detectors. Through a program known as Project Impact, counselors used street-level diplomacy to talk out disputes and forge gang truces. They also organized trips, night basketball games and outings for plays, horseback riding and bowling.
``It worked wonders,″ Marszalek said.
As tension subsided, suspensions went down, grades improved and gang rivalries gave way to teamwork last fall when Peabody won a city football championship.
But then Reid was shot, and reality struck.
``We can make this building as safe as we want. But we can’t control what happens on the street at 3 a.m.,″ said English instructor Pamela Johnson.
When students returned last week, some sobbed in the hallways, and anger over Reid’s death sparked scuffles. Officials cancelled school to cool tempers and give the 875 students time to grieve.
Senior Emmai Alaquiva, 18, said Reid’s death stirred bitterness and frustrations among students.
``Nothing makes any sense. Dorion had a powerful mind. He could have made it,″ Alaquiva said.
Peabody was peaceful last week during final exams, and beefed-up security gradually loosened. But the school still grieves.
``It’s like a wound,″ said community worker Daryl Givner. ``It’s going to take time to heal.″


The County collected over Three Billion Dollars of taxpayer money earmarked for Public Transportation after the voters approved the half-cent sales tax in 2003. Our County Government has FAILED to deliver on an improved transportation infrastructure and instead, used the money for everything except the purpose intended. South Dade’s continued growth and development was supposed to get a Metrorail expansion or implementation of Light Rail from Dadeland to Florida City but instead has nothing to show for the $3 Billion collected and instead, we have traffic gridlock everywhere during rush hour.
Simply put, our local leaders and administrators have over promised, under-delivered, and played politics with one of the most pressing and infuriating issues affecting our quality of life in Southern Miami-Dade – the County’s urgent need for transportation solutions.
I will sponsor legislation
- To provide short-term solutions to South Dade’s traffic problem by creating 50,000 jobs in the southern portion of District 8 just north of the Air-Force base within 5 years including moving thousands of county jobs from downtown and the north to District 8: The “New Frontier”
- Stop incenting businesses to locate in the downtown area and northern portion of Dade County and instead create incentives to locate into the New Frontier sectors.
- Provide Incentives for a super high-tech corridor in the New Frontier area that will attract technology companies worldwide to move to this area. This will include the re-mission of some of the Dade County economic development organizations.
- Directing the new Mayor and his/her county administrators to conduct a thorough and forensic audit of the billions of dollars collected by the half-penny sales tax, and report to the full Commission, and the general public, on where and how the money was spent and misappropriated.
- Propose legislation placing a moratorium on any future spending on transportation until the Commission recognizes and prioritizes the most acute traffic-congested corridors in Miami-Dade County, and makes specific appropriations to address the best mass transit solutions for the identified corridors.
- Sponsor legislation demanding that any mass transit solutions recommended by the Commission for Southern and Western Miami-Dade include rail as one of the components to alleviate traffic congestion in this vast area of the County.
- Propose legislation suspending the collection of any future tolls administered by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) until such time as a thorough audit of its past expenditures is completed and reported to the full Commission for review and recommendations made on where future toll money is to be spent. We will put an end to the “nickel and diming” our commuters for political welfare and lining the pockets of developers and lobbyists.


It is one of those of Thomas Jefferson most cited words about religious freedom: âIt doesn’t hurt my neighbor to say that there are twenty gods, or no god. He doesn’t pick up my pocket or break my leg. It’s a nice line, because it’s not just about tolerance, but acceptance. It’s a mystery to me why Palm Coast, which at least claims to be a tolerant city, doesn’t apply the same principle to the commercial truck in its neighbor’s driveway.
I don’t see it any differently. Just as it doesn’t hurt me if my neighbor is white, black, Zuni, Trumpy, Lutheran, or Luddite, it doesn’t hurt me if my neighbor has a work van or car with psychedelic lettering in the driveway. It hurts me even less if the pickup replaces one of those ungodly SUVs or cars that people insist on parking outside. In fact, I prefer the work van: it’s more aesthetic, because it’s less pretentious, more Blades of grass than Bonfire of vanities.
Would a work van affect the value of my property? Of course not. Our own real estate appraiser officially says so. âI don’t have anything to say that if someone pulls Fred’s Electric down the driveway, it will crush the value of the property next door, or even measure it,â real estate appraiser Jay Gardner told me.
This would apply to any type of utility vehicle of a similar size with a scale on top or crazy wild lettering on the side, even if it was a company lettering with the caveman mentality. Anyone who claims it affects values ââis making assumptions from the same playbook that tells us that since Palm Coast has banned such vehicles for 20 years, they should have it for the next 200, or that people who move in. now should know the rules that have prevailed during these 20 years.
But any city, any county, any country changes as people change. Every time a government changes a zoning rule, noise ordinance, or stacking neighborhood, it adapts to new residents, to new realities. A city, at least a city that does not rot, is an organic creation that renews itself with each arrival. The population of Palm Coast has tripled since its incorporation. But in many ways the town still claims to be a Tuscan village, when in fact it continues to be little more than any old suburban sprawl, interchangeable with a thousand dogmatic landlord associations like this one across the country. He has a chance to be better than that. It’s choosing to be in a coma instead.
Palm Coast is more unique for its police bans than for its dynamic allocations that recognize the changing landscape of work. I remember in 2012 when the city council had the opportunity to relax its rules for controlling businesses in residential areas and allowing home bakeries. This killed the idea under false pretenses. He missed a chance to save the city from a lethargic and outdated interpretation of the geography of work. The same lethargy oppresses us now. Despite the lessons of Covid, which are revolutionizing the meaning of the âworkplaceâ and finally recognizing – and respecting – the autonomy of workers, Palm Coast again refuses to adapt, as if working conditions and the economy in 2021 were identical to working conditions in 1999.
For those who don’t work, maybe they are. Lucky. Half of the inhabitants of this city does not work. But if retirement is a right, it is not a baton to discipline all those who still work, especially those who fix air conditioning and plumbing and the infestation of cables and cockroaches in the homes of those who do not. do not, or paint the walls that close on those who have decided to end their days playing golf, wait for their next medical appointment and bitch about the workers who make their lives easier.
Palm Coast City Council this Tuesday vote on whether to keep the current regulations in place or to allow some relaxation. The council vote seems predicted against a change. It would be a shame, especially on a board where each member claims to be pro-business, for more jobs, more diversity and more tolerance.
Three council members, including Mayor David Alfin – a real estate agent – and Eddie Branquinho – married to a real estate agent – oppose changing the current rule, even though Palm Coast, as the Observer found in a survey of 10 cities of similar size, is a relative outlier when it comes to this kind of draconian ban. I hope one of the three opposing board members will change their mind. If there’s one thing we need in this city, it’s not older, repulsive, and complacent people like me (and most of the people in the local office), but young, energetic, and hard-working people who don’t. don’t think about answering calls from work at all hours of the day. This is the new economy, especially in this city, where half of the population depends on the services of the rest.
It’s not like today’s aisles are a tasteful gift. Most of them are filled with brilliant vulgarities on the assembly lines with no more flair than a metal mule – “technological ugliness mixed with romantic fallacy in an effort to produce beauty and profit”, like Robert Pirsig said. that irritable old classic. Palm Coast would be on more solid legal ground by banning all vehicles from driving in the aisles. What are these garages for, anyway? As it is not so inclined, one should not play the taste of the wheeled police, or favor a cop to bring a patrol car home and spend that extra half hour a day with his spouse and children. , while forcing the electrician or painter to waste it. time to park the van elsewhere. It’s not just against blue collar workers. It’s anti-family.
No one is asking for the aisles to be transformed into parking lots more worthy of Sodom and Gomorrah than they already are. Apart from the exaggerations and the alarmism of the pseudo-ascetics, the only change would be to allow a Single A very modestly sized utility vehicle – nothing bigger than a van or pickup – to park in front without the wrath of the Palm Coast law enforcement brigades descending on the offender. Boats, recreational vehicles, dump trucks, buses and other highway giants would not be allowed.
The change would be barely noticeable for most, and would make a huge difference to some. It is no longer a majority rule issue that if the majority of white Palm Coast residents decide not to allow Latinos to barbecue in their backyards, blacks to have a beer in their driveway, or single moms to have swings on the grass. Obviously, this would never wear. I do not see how the discrimination against trades workers is any less offensive. Let us not put workers’ rights to a vote. Let’s defend them.

If you haven’t yet visited Anita Stewart’s Canada you are missing out on fabulous recipes and life-enriching stories. Canada, she says, is a menu of stories and her book is
. . . about pride and tenacity – and it’s about the pure sensual pleasure of tasting the richness of Canada on every level, from the physical to the intellectual.
The following recipe is an original from George Koyionis, a fish vendor in Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market. It is flavourful and filling, excellent without the mayo garnish but infinitely more interesting and nuanced with. Thank you George!
Greek Fish Soup with Hazelnut Garlic Mayonnaise
- 2L chicken or fish stock
- 1kg fresh fish, such as rock cod, flounder or sole (I used sole)
- 30ml butter
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10ml dried oregano
- 3 potatoes, diced
- Salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Juice of 2 lemons
Bring stock to a boil and add fish. Cover and simmer until tender. Transfer fish to a separate bowl, let cool and remove any bones. Reserve the stock and the fish separately.
In another pan, melt butter over medium heat, add celery, onion and garlic, cooking until translucent. Add oregano, potatoes and cautious amounts of salt and pepper. Add the stock and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the veggies are softened.
Whisk eggs and lemon juice together.
Just before serving, return the fish to the stock and reheat completely.
Whisk in the egg mixture and heat but do not boil. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warmed bowls, topped with Hazelnut Garlic Mayo.
Hazelnut Garlic Mayo
- 125ml roasted hazelnuts
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2ml salt
- 25ml lemon juice
- 25ml cider or wine vinegar (I used Mango Vinegar because I had some on hand)
- 175ml olive oil
In a blender or food processor pulverize the nuts. Set aside.
Add egg yolk, garlic, salt, lemon juice and vinegar to the blender/food processor. Process until smooth. With machine running, add oil in a thin stream to create a thick mayo. Stir in nuts, cover and refrigerate until use. Can be kept in fridge for up to 2 days.
