In a report issued by the Center for Disease Controls (CDC), on Monday, August 24, they predict that 40 percent of the country’s population will contact swine flu. Is the Wakulla County school system adequately prepared to deal with this?

Wakulla County Superintendent David Miller is in the unique position to use his power to follow the minimum recommendations of the CDC or choose to raise the bar and be more assertive with the health and safety of our children and teachers.

I’m writing to provide some basic information in regard to a fast growing grassroots movement to reform our national system of taxation. As a CPA, I have always thought the current system of taxation is convoluted. Now, I’m doing something about it.

After attending the meeting Aug. 25, I realized that there are more people who agree with my conservative opinions than I realized as this county seems to vote democrat.

Look what the left has done for this country. I felt that Congressman Boyd, after 20 years dealing with his constituents, knows how to change the questions and avoid direct questions so he doesn’t have to address an issue that he knows will rile up people.

Here, Congressman Boyd is some down home, straight forwardness that you didn’t get to hear Aug. 25.

I would like to express my thanks to the health department and to the school district.

I am glad to see that in the last week the health department and the school board have taken a more pro-active approach to the Swine Flu. Hand sanitizers were provided for student use at the Wakulla Middle School and the sanitizers are being used with teacher supervision.

Teachers spoke to their classes more than once and used blackboards to remind students of ways to protect themselves and other students from the flu.
