BioNitrogen closes on 55-acre land deal

In a major step in BioNitrogen’s efforts to site a $300 million plant in Taylor County, the company has closed on a 55-acre parcel owned by Foley

Timber and Land Co.According to City

Manager Bob Brown, the property closed on Monday for approximately $1.3 million, with the funds

coming out of the city-guaranteed line of credit Tuesday due to the bank being closed Monday for Columbus Day.

The property is located on

Foley Road (CR 30) across from Georgia-Pacific’s Foley Cellulose Mill.

In August, the Taylor County Commission unanimously approved

a Future Land Use Map amendment for property applied for by Foley, changing the parcel from the

Junior royalty shines during Florida Forest Festival Little King & Little Queen PageantBy ANGELA M. CASTELUCCIStaff writer

Judges were given a daunting task at the 59th annual Florida Forest Festival’s Little King & Queen Pageant Saturday night—select a new royal

court from among 25 oh-so-charming junior competitors.

Each young boy and girl danced, twirled and waved his or her way across stage to loud applause and cheers. The sky was the

limit when it came time to wow the audience with presentations of what they wanted to be when they grew up and the selections were as varied and colorful as the children themselves. There was a tadpole catcher,

several “animal doctors,” an astronaut and a little lady who wanted to be a “sailor so I can hunt mermaids because mermaids are real!”

The final round of c o m p e t i t i o n — eve n i n g wear—made the judges’

County partners with FDOT for $400,000 airport addition

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has allocated more than $400,000 for Perry-Foley Airport to construct a new aircraft storage facility, which one day could house a fixed-based operator (FBO) at the airport.

The Taylor County Commission approved a joint participation agreement with FDOT last week for the funding.

According to Grants Director Melody Cox, FDOT originally allocated $83,970 for the design and

engineering of the building. Last week’s agreement is for an additional $404,534 for construction.

Cox said the county was not expecting the construction funds until next year, but FDOT had some funds returned from

other counties, freeing up enough money to move forward with the project this year.

“We didn’t expect it this year,” she said. “This was a very pleasant surprise.”

Designing the building in order to possibly house

an FBO in the future increased the cost, which was why the funding was not expected until next year, Cox explained. The extra features included bathrooms and office space.

GP, Yates are tight- lipped on changes at Foley plant

Georgia-Pacific declined to comment on site and employee changes announced for its Taylor County Foley mill last week.

“We have no information to provide,” Scott Mixon, public affairs manager for Georgia-Pacific, said Tuesday.

Calls to local Yates Construction officials were not returned as of presstime.

GP officials did confirm that several long-term, top management employees have been terminated, included Site Manager Howard Drew.

Neither company offered input on whether the potential changes would cause a net loss in jobs for Yates.

Dear Editor:Here is my annual letter

about the festival. This year is worse.

Apparently, no one at the Forest Festival office or committee members care about the negative influence they are having on the traditional spirit of the festival. Their minimal attempt at pretending to celebrate anything is visibly non-existent.

I was in Newberry on Monday, Their main street was ablaze with fall decorations on lampposts and businesses decorated. It is a tiny town. Perry is bigger and we have nothing.

Not even the ugly signs put on the tall lamps.

Perry Forest Festival committee is too cheap to put up one festival banner across Jefferson Street. for the upcoming festival parade. Exactly where is all the money going for the festival? It must be going in someone’s pocket, because it definitely is not going toward a celebration of anything.

The downtown can afford a fake storefront, but cannot afford a single festival banner to show visitors that a celebration and parade are near. The downtown appears exactly like a high

school homecoming parade. Nothing!

So, fire all the Forest Festival staff and committee members and hire Springtime Tallahassee committee to show Perry how to have a celebration. Then and only then will visitors want to stop and stay awhile.

Thinking Out LoudBy RAY EVANS

Slime Season

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

I didn’t think it was possible but I have a new reason to be annoyed by television.

First, let me admit television’s charm: I like being transported from my own personal drama, to someone else’s. I can usually solve their problems more expediently and with less angst.

But I am distraught that the happiest people on television are those within the commercials, with serious medical problems: diabetic nerve pain, high blood pressure, ulcers, chronic depression and anxiety.

And guess what? There’s a pill.

Yes, there are endless pills and they are all magical. Your new life will bear no resemblance to your previous one; you will be one of the beautiful people, through the advances of modern medicine. Just find a doctor and get the prescription: it’s the magic wand of today’s fairy tales.

Astro Zenith, beyond its strictly pharmaceutical benefits, makes you want to dance to Cajun music. It gives you nicely dressed friends who bring delicious food to your party. If you take this medication, you can live in a $100,000 house and feel fabulous.

If you can manage a prescription for Trexium, you can eat Mexican food every day and it will seem like a bland, hospital diet. Who, over 50, doesn’t long for that?

If you take Erica, you can shop for hours with no discomfort, cook for your family which always smiles and laughs at you, and then work in the yard.

And if you suffer from the previously taboo subject of erectile disorder, you will suddenly be lauded with romantic dinners and fabulous views off mountains from a couple of footed bathtubs, thanks to See Alice.

Because of television, I once thought that the happiest people in the world were those with genital herpes. During their various treatments, they went horseback riding, swimming in waterfalls and bicycling to exotic locations.

Now, I think they’ve been trumped.

But, life is good for the rest of us, too, because sensitive teeth can be cured.

Mental sharpness can be

enhanced by Baracka (not to be confused with Obama).

Low testosterone just needs a new roll-on like a deodorant.

There are 16 ways to lose 25 pounds before Friday while you eat everything you want on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Hair removal is a yes-yes option.

Hair restoration is even possible.

You can smile at your husband, gaze at your adoring children and marvel at your clean house because of how good you feel.

Wow.However, any and all of

this joy, comes with a major disclaimer. “Always, ask your doctor if it’s right for you” because some people exhibit nausea, dizziness, permanent kidney or liver damage, rectal bleeding, headache, vomiting, dysentery, cardiac arrhythmia, varicose veins, suicidal thoughts or actions, arteriosclerosis, hemorrhoids, vampirism, gender impermanence, sugar high, more vomiting, sudden death or just a mild rash.

While you’re feeling dizzy and nauseous, every other television commercial is about the upcoming election where even the candidates you support become tiresome. If that and October’s allottment of bleeding zombies doesn’t eventually make you sick to death, then you’ll be fine.

But please don’t drive or operate any machinery; instead, take a motorized wheelchair.

And if none of this works out, at the corner of health and happiness, then there are a dozen legal firms with six names each which will help you sue the pants off the pharmaceutical companies involved, and the you can afford that home in the previous commercials.

This implosion of television commercials happened on Columbus Day, prompting me to think back to the great explorer who sailed the ocean blue in 1492 (and now prompts furniture sales?).

All Columbus had was the Fountain of Youth and a strong stomach for the high seas.

As for the New World he discovered, he’d barely recognize it now.

But, never fear: there’s a pill for that, too.

Midweek MuddleI ask you, ‘Is it right for you?’

By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

Attention, please! Something very important is about to happen that may affect you for years to come. Fortunately, you can do something to help make things go your way, but many will ignore the opportunity.

Election Day is just a few weeks away. If you are inclined to stay at home and let someone else decide who will represent you in the county, state and Congress, please write a note and post it where you’ll see it every day. It should say, “I can’t complain because I didn’t vote!”

Unfortunately, the mid-term elections are neglected by many eligible voters because we don’t see the flood of high-priced political videos and print ads that come with the ‘big’ elections that come every four years. We don’t get as many computer-generated

telephone calls or as many mailed solicitations for our votes.

One of the worst features of state-wide and national elections is the volume of slimy, seamy, obnoxious television ads telling us what low-down, heartless, lying, good-for-nothing candidate(s) are running against the candidate (or other individual or organization) sponsoring the ad. It’s usually safe to say that the more outrageous the ad is, the more likely it is to be untrue. Many times, individuals or groups supporting a candidate may present ads without the candidate’s approval, and sometimes they may say things that the candidate would not say. What can you do about that? I choose to just ignore everything they say and make my voting decision based on facts that I learn from more

reliable sources. If you believe only what you see on television, you may be badly misinformed.

When an ad says that a candidate voted for a bad law, or against a good law, beware! Many times, when a bill is introduced, one or more other bills dealing with completely different subjects may be attached as riders. The office-holder then must vote for or against the whole package, containing good and bad features. His or her opponent will then claim that the vote was not in our best interest, when, actually, it was the right vote to make.

In the race for the U.S. House of Representatives we have Steve Southerland, who is completing his second (I believe) term. Many local citizens have met him and can tell you

Dyal: ‘.25 mill is not a new tax or an increase’Dear Editor:

Please consider the following in supporting the renewal of the .25 mill.

Prior to 2008-09, school districts always received 2.0 mills levied by the state department of education for capital outlay projects. This is for school maintenance, renovation of schools, buses, and equipment need in the schools. In 2008-09 the millage was cut to 1.75 by the State. In 2009-10 it was reduced to 1.5 mils, which greatly affected the areas that this funding is used for.

In 2011-12, the law was changed to allow the school board to levy back the .25 mill, which they did. In 2012-13, the law changed again requiring the .25 mill

be approved by the voters. They did. The vote was for four years. In total this .25 mills has been part of the school millage rate for five years. To be extended, it must be on the 2014 ballot for approval.

The .25 mill to be voted on is not a new tax or an increase. It is a request to extend the .25 mill that was approved in 2012. It has been in place five years.

What has the .25 mil cost you?

A mil is $1 per $1,000 of the assessed property.

.25 mil is 25 cents per $1,000 of the assessed property.

The .25 mil generates approximately $314,000 for the school district

yearly. This funding will be earmarked in the Taylor County School District’s efforts in meeting the Digital Classroom Plan as mandated by Florida Statutes 1003.4203. This statute addresses the requirement of school districts to develop a plan to implement the digital classroom for all students K-12. Florida Statute 1001.20(4)(a) is the statutory requirement of the school districts to follow the guide of the Florida Department of Education in how to implement the Digital Classroom Plan.

Respectfully,Paul Dyal,

SuperintendentTaylor County School District

Still no Forest Festival banners?

Questioning ‘corporate culture’ at BioNitrogenDear Editor:

An article in Friday’s Perry News-Herald reported charges of grand theft were dropped against BioNitrogen’s president after restitution to the victim was made in full.

Reading that, I was reminded of the line by Big Jule in the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls: “Well, I used to be bad when I was a kid, but ever since then I’ve gone straight, as has been proved by my record--33 arrests and no convictions.”

Implied previously, now stated for emphasis, the president of BioNitrogen does not seem to be fully engaged in the leadership role required by a publicly traded company. In terms of corporate culture, the one at BioNitrogen appears to have rather vague outer boundaries.

mixed-use rural residential land use category to an industrial land use.

The company also purchased two smaller parcels in the Bohannan Subdivision on the opposite side of Eustis Gunter Road from the main site to accommodate a future rail spur, Brown said. The total cost of the two parcels was around $65,000.

The land purchases bring the total drawn on the line of credit to around $3.3 million.

According to Brown, the majority of the other expenses were environmental studies on the property as well as engineering fees for the design of the plant.

BioNitrogen Vice President Ernesto Iznaga on Tuesday called the land purchase a “critical step, but one of many. We’re continuing with all of the engineering work.”

According to Iznaga, the

company has completed the second of three phases of the engineering, and its contractors are now working to develop “firm fixed pricing” on the plant, which will allow BioNitrogen to enter into an engineering, procurement and construction contract.

“As we said at the joint meeting, we’re in the fourth quarter,” he said.

Iznaga also noted that his company met with the due-diligence consultant for Deutsche Bank last week and those talks went “very well.” Deutsche Bank is set to purchase $300 million in industry revenue bonds issued by the Taylor County Development Authority (TCDA) once the local project reaches a certain point in its development, at which time the $5 million line of credit would be paid back.

Additionally, BioNitrogen and engineering firm AMEC will meet with Duke Energy Thursday to begin laying out power for the plant, he said.

The city’s collateral guarantee on BioNitrogen’s $5 million line of credit taken out from Community & Southern Bank in Atlanta, Ga., is part of a comprehensive incentive package offered by the city, county and Taylor County Development Authority. Under an agreement between the city and the company, the city must approve any invoices before a payment is made from the line of credit.

According to company officials, BioNitrogen plans to utilize patented technology to convert biomass into urea fertilizer at a series of plants, including the one in Taylor County.

The proposed plant is projected to create 52-55 manufacturing jobs in the county with an average starting salary of $38,000 plus benefits. Local economic development officials have estimated the total capital investment here to be between $100 million and $220 million.

Nearly 100 people gathered recently in Steinhatchee to celebrate the work of PAWS (Pets Are Worth Spaying) and to fund its efforts for another year.

“The Luau-Howl was fabulous, as always,” said Sue Guilbeau, one of the organizers of this year’s gala. “We had a crowd of approximately 100 who enjoyed fish, chicken and pork, along with sweet potatoes, rice, rolls and so much more. There were lots of fresh pineapples, and wonderful cookies—all made by JR and staff of Mama’s Restaurant. They do a fabulous job for us,” she said.

As a sweet finish, “Three beautiful cakes were made and decorated with cats and dogs by Mary Crawford of Cakes by Mary,” Guilbeau added. “Thanks to everyone’s hard work and generosity, we made enough

money during the auction to keep us going for another year--helping with the cost of spaying or neutering for our local animals.

“We also appreciate Dean Fowler of Steinhatchee Landing for his continued support and for allowing us the use of his beautiful facilities,” she added, noting that Gary Atkins graciously served as emcee for the event.

“We opted to wait because we felt it was important to build it in a way that supported future development at the airport,” she said.

Also adding to the cost is the need to relocate two gopher tortoises from the planned construction area, which is located between the Taylor County Fire-Rescue building and the existing t-hangars at the airport.

“The design and engineering were already 90 percent done when we received the funding, so we hope to go out for bids in December or Junary,” she said.

His opponent is Gwen Graham, daughter of former governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham. I believe this is her first run for political office.

In the governor’s race we have governor Rick Scott running for re-election and former Governor Charlie Crist trying to win the office again. That seems to be a close race, and every vote will count.

In the race for county commissioner position you are much more likely to

know one or both of the candidates. Choose wisely which one will get your vote.

Did you know that there will be proposed amendments to our state constitution on the ballot? You can’t wait until Election Day to try to read and understand them while

Most of us would like to see our own political

party be in charge at the state or national level, but sometimes the best candidate may be in the other party. Use your head and vote for the one you believe most capable, most honest, and most likely to represent our county or state well.

If you think you might not

be able to get to the poll on Election Day, contact the Supervisor of Elections in the courthouse and arrange to receive an absentee ballot. Vote at leisure and mail it in.

And remember to write that note to yourself if you don’t vote. Your vote really does count.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Through work incentive programs like Ticket to Work, provided by the Social Security Administration

and administered at CareerSource North Florida, disabled individuals can find new careers and become financially independent and self-sufficient.

Ticket to Work is a voluntary, free program that allows individuals who

are receiving disability benefits (SSI or SSDI) to go to work, but keep their valuable health benefits. Also, if enrolled in Ticket to Work, persons are not subject to continuing disability reviews and once employed, they enjoy

the benefit of expedited reinstatement of benefits in the event they lose their employment. Participants in the program meet with a career consultant who works with them to outline their needs and abilities--and will help place them in a job

that fits them. Individuals who are age 18-64 and receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to a disability are qualified to receive help through Ticket to Work.

But why work? According to the Social Security Administration, individuals who are receiving SSI or SSDI do not earn enough money to support themselves entirely.

By AARON PORTWOODDespite committing five

turnovers and 15 penalties for minus 145 yards, the Taylor County Bulldogs played outstanding defense and got just enough offense to outlast Jefferson County, 15-8, Friday night in Monticello.

The Bulldogs improved to 3-3 on the season, while the Tigers dropped to 2-4 on the year.

Despite a horrible first half, in which the Bulldogs threw four interceptions and managed just 63 total yards, Jefferson County managed only an 8-7 lead after Art Nelson’s 4-yard TD run in the second quarter.

Taylor County earned only 86 yards of offense in the second half, but got another 4-yard TD run by

Nelson – set up by what may have been the most unbelievable catch in the history of Taylor County football by Jalen Oliver – and an amazing two-point conversion run by Chris Reaves to grab a 15-8 lead in the third quarter.

Oliver made a leaping, diving, one-handed reception down the middle of the field on a pass from Rayshawn Hamilton that

appeared to be overthrown by several yards. However, the senior wide receiver dove and laid out horizontally, while looking over his shoulder.

The Bulldog defense turned in a dominating defensive performance to hold Jefferson to just 37 total yards (15 passing, 22 rushing) in the final two

quarters of play, including a stellar goal line stand that not only held the Tigers out of the endzone on three straight plays inside the 8-yard line, but forced the only Jefferson County turnover of the game on a 3rd and goal play from the 1-yard line.

LaGarrett Britt forced the key fumble and Nathan Kallschmidt scooped up the loose ball and returned it 24 yards to preserve the Bulldogs’ slim one-touchdown lead.

Kallschmidt had the best game of his high school career, making a touchdown-saving tackle on a 66-yard kickoff return by Jefferson County to start the second half, throwing the lead block for Nelson’s TD run, recovering a key fumble and pressuring the Tiger quarterback all night while getting in on three QB sacks.

“Our defense definitely won this game for us,” Bulldogs’ Head Coach Tanner Jones said. “It was a sloppy night for us offensively.”

“We scored just enough to win. It was ugly, but we won, and a win is a win,” Jones added.

Jones praised the play of Nelson, who finished with 16 carries for 50 yards and 2 touchdowns, as well as Justin Cruse (2 punts, 37.5-yard average), who was forced into kicking duty the entire second half after starting punter/kicker Evan Ward was ejected in the second quarter for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

The penalty on Ward was just one of numerous personal foul penalties against both teams in the chippy ballgame. Taylor County was flagged 15 times for 145 yards, while Jefferson County was penalized 17 times for 155 yards. The two teams combined for 12 personal foul penalties and players were engaged in several scuffles after the whistle.

“Nate Kallschmidt had an awesome game, and Traymont Sellers also had a great game on defense,” Jones said.

“Jalen Oliver made the best catch I have ever seen,” Jones added. “The previous best was Al Donaldson in Wakulla, who made a one-handed catch behind him while going full speed across the field, but I don’t think I have ever seen one like Jalen’s grab.”

Oliver’s spectacular catch is a finalist for the WCTV “Highlight of the Week.” You can vote for it by going to: www.wctv.tv/sports/highlightoftheweek.

There were very few highlights for Taylor County in the first half, as Chris Reaves (0 for 2, 2 interceptions) was picked off on the third play of the game after Willie Elder’s kickoff return set the Bulldogs up on their own 34.

Jefferson returned the interception 22 yards to the Bulldogs’ 32 and scored three plays later on a 29-yard TD pass when a Taylor County defensive back failed to cover a Tiger wide reciever.

The Tigers ran in the 2-point conversion to take an 8-0 lead just 3:15 into the game.

Rayshawn Hamilton (5 of 15, 66 yards, 3 interceptions) entered the game at quarterback on the Bulldogs’ second series and opened with three straight incomplete passes.

After the Bulldog defense forced Jefferson to turn the ball over on downs with a 4th down stop on the Taylor 38, Hamilton was intercepted on a 1st down

pass.The second interception

of the game was returned 27 yards to the Bulldog 15-yard line, but the Taylor County defense held again, pushing the Tigers backwards and stopping Jefferson on another 4th down pass.

Taylor finally got some offense going on its fourth series of the game, as Hamilton ran for 4 yards, before being sacked for a 7-yard loss after a fumbled

snap, but came right back to complete a perfect 13-yard pass to Kenny Smith on 3rd and 13 to move the chains.

Hard running by Nelson moved the ball 15 yards to the Jefferson 29, and a pair of penalties on the Tigers helped the Bulldogs pick up a 1st and goal at the 9.

However, Nelson was thrown for a 5-yard loss on 1st down, before Oliver made an outstanding 13-yard catch down to the

1-yard line on 2nd down.Hamilton was thrown for

a loss on the next play, but Nelson got the Bulldogs on the board by following Kallschmidt’s block for a 4-yard TD run with 9:08 left in the 2nd quarter.

Ward’s PAT pulled Taylor within 8-7, but the Bulldog kicker/punter/defensive end was ejected from the game after an unsportsmanlike

conduct penalty on the ensuing kickoff.

Jefferson drove all the way down the field to the Bulldogs’ 5-yard line before Taylor County’s defense hunkered down and made their third straight goal line stand of the game.

Taylor took over on their own 5-yard line and

Hamilton was once again intercepted on the very next play, throwing deep down the field for Oliver.

Jefferson took over near midfield, but the Tigers were stuffed on three straight plays by Kallschmidt, Shawn Burney, Traymonte Sellers and Kahlib Britt.

Just before halftime, Hamilton was intercepted on a 3rd and 9 deep pass for Oliver, and Jefferson

threatened to add to their 8-7 lead just before the half.

The Tigers gashed the Bulldogs for an 18-yard run before Zavier Brooks, Devonta Fudge, Jamar McNeal and Sellers made a big stop.

On 2nd and 11 from midfield, with only a few seconds remaining in the half, the Tiger QB unleashed a bomb down the left sideline that was tipped

up in the air by a Bulldog defender and then hauled in by a Tiger receiver as he was falling at the pylon marking the endzone.

The side judge ruled that the catch was made in bounds, but the receiver fell out of bounds just before crossing the goal line – a huge call that swung momentum in the Bulldogs’ favor.

Tempers flared on the opening kickoff of the second half, as both teams were hit with 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penatlies.

Kallschmidt sacked the Tiger QB on a 4th and 7 play at the Taylor County 22 to give the ball to the offense.

Hamilton was sacked to end the Bulldogs’ next drive, and Kallschmidt, Sellers, Fudge, Landon Byrd and Burney made a pair of big stops to force another Tiger punt.

A nice 23-yard punt

return by Reaves, followed by Oliver’s highlight-reel catch down the middle of the field, set up an 8-yard catch by Smith and Nelson’s second 4-yard TD run.

Reaves fumbled the snap on the two-point conversion try, but still managed to out-run three defenders around the edge and into the endzone to put the Bulldogs up 15-8 with 3:06 left in the 3rd quarter.

It was all defense for the final 15 minutes of the game, as the Bulldog defense held the Tigers to only 40 yards passing and 46 yards rushing (86 total yards) in the entire second half.

The Taylor County defense made yet another goal line stand early in the 4th quarter, as the Tigers drove down inside the 10 and had a 3rd and goal from the 1-yard line.

LaGarrett Britt made a big game-saving hit in the backfield, forcing a fumble

that was recovered by Kallschmidt.

Reaves was intercepted on the following drive, giving Jefferson another chance to tie or take the lead, but Justin Cruse and Fudge made a big tackle for a loss, followed by Britt and Victor Conde stopping a key 3rd down conversion attempt that forced a punt.

Jefferson got the ball back with under two minutes to play in the game, but Fudge, Kallschmidt and Sellers combined to make one sack and pressured the Tiger QB into a bad pass on the final play of the game.

Fudge led the Bulldogs with 9 tackles, followed by Kallschmidt with 6 tackles, 2 sacks and a fumble recovery. Britt finished with 4 tackles and a forced fumble.

Taylor County returns home this Friday when district foe Fernandina Beach comes to town.

A-12 Taco Times October 15, 2014

October is SIDS, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, and the Healthy Start Coalition of Jefferson, Madison and Taylor Counties is teaming up with the nation’s leading organization dedicated to infant health and survival to help increase awareness about these tragic causes of infant death.

Donna Hagan, coalition executive director, said, “Our coalition is dedicated to preventing infant and fetal death; our programming focuses on education for parents that focuses on safe sleep and healthy infant development and our community work focuses on educating the public on the factors that cause infant and fetal loss.”

Last year, there were four infants who died before their first birthday in Jefferson County. There were no infant deaths in Madison and Taylor counties.

“Although we celebrate these successes in Madison and Taylor, an additional six families (two in each county) had a stillborn

infant (fetal death) last year. The month of October is dedicated to remembering these families,” Hagan said.

“Please join us today (Wednesday) when we will light a candle for the infants lost and honor these families at the Coalition office in Greenville. Oct. 15 has been designated National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Agencies and families are also encouraged to light candles to celebrate the lives that have been lost, and will continue to be lost, until we reach our goal of a future where all babies survive and thrive. For more information, visit www.october15.com.”

To learn more about how you can help, please call 850-948-2741 or visit www.firstcandle.org. Interested individuals can access information on ways they can help create awareness and/or show support for families and babies in their local community. Crisis counselors are also available 24/7 by calling, toll free, 1-800-221-7437.

Today is a day to remember
