The Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach is seeing a massive number in leatherback sea turtle nests along the beach. Sea Turtle Nesting Season starts in March and continues until the end of October.

Are you curious who or what inspired the busy thoroughfare’s namesake?

Ellison Wilson was a young man whose family founded Kelsey City (Lake Park).  The family moved from Tennessee to the area in 1923. Ellison was one of eight siblings who also spent many days enjoying the local waterways.  The Wilson’s had a farm along the Intracoastal Waterway, running parallel to Prosperity Farms Road (near The Benjamin School).  His mother was beloved principal of Lake Park…

If you have a child or children who have been pulled out of school due to the coronavirus pandemic, you should not plan on schools re-opening anytime soon. While there is something to be said for optimism, it is also important (more important) to face the realities of the current situation and make plans to continue teaching and helping your child learn at home.

As of yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis was on the fence about shutting school campuses statewide for the rest of the academic year, but he said some students may return to school sooner than others.

“We’re going to make the best decision that we can, but it may be that not every county is going to be treated the same in this,” the governor told reporters. “There is nothing wrong with that.…
