ALACHUA – A group of teachers, parents and community members in Alachua are pushing back against a proposal that could close Irby Elementary School, and they want the school board to hear them before it’s too late.

The Alachua County School Board is expected to vote on the school’s future at its May 5 meeting. The board will also hold a workshop April 29 to discuss the options ahead of that vote. For many in the Alachua community, those two dates feel like a closing window.

Irby Elementary, which currently serves pre-K through second grade students, was added to the district’s list of potential closures in February, just 10 days before the board held its initial vote on school consolidations across the county. Most other school closures being considered by the district had been announced months earlier, in November 2025.

For Lisi Osborne, who has taught at Irby since 2004, the timing felt rushed and the process has felt one-sided ever since.

“Irby faculty and staff heard about it on the news,” Osborne said. “This isn’t just a job. This isn’t just a place we come to every day to work. This is our home and this is our family.”

A hidden gem, advocates say

Osborne describes Irby as a school that is easy to overlook from the outside but hard to forget once you’ve walked its halls. Colorful sensory paths cover the floors. Murals line the walls throughout campus. The facilities, she said, are well-maintained and designed specifically with young children in mind.

“Irby Elementary is a hidden gem in the community of Alachua,” Osborne said. “It always has been. It is one of a kind.”

The school’s supporters have spent weeks building a case for keeping it open. Faculty and families have sent more than 200 emails to the school board. They have shared Google Maps comparisons of Irby’s campus alongside schools in Gainesville with the same floor plan that currently house pre-K through fifth grade students. They have submitted proposed classroom layouts to board member Dr. Sarah Rockwell showing how third and fourth grade could be added to the Irby campus without major new construction.

Their central argument: closing Irby isn’t necessary. The building can handle more students, and the community needs it.

The entire board has been invited to tour the campus and see it for themselves. So far, Rockwell is the only member who has accepted, spending several hours in Irby’s media center listening to staff concerns and reviewing the case for keeping the school open. Osborne said board members Janine Plavec and Dr. Leanetta McNeely have also been receptive and supportive throughout the process.

The district’s options

The district is weighing four options for Irby’s future. Three would allow the school to remain open, expanding from its current pre-K through second grade configuration to serve pre-K through fifth grade. The differences between those three options largely come down to how attendance zones would be drawn, specifically, how students on either side of U.S. Highway 441 would be divided between Irby and a newly renovated Mebane K-8 School.

The fourth option would close Irby entirely, consolidating its students into Mebane K-8 School alongside students from Alachua Elementary School, which is also slated to close in 2028.

The district’s push to consolidate schools is driven in part by state legislation passed in 2025 that allows charter schools to move into public school facilities operating below certain enrollment thresholds. Under that law, a district would be required to share its building with a charter school and help fund its operation, with no say in how it is run.

Dividing the community

Even among the options that would keep Irby open, Osborne and other community members have concerns. Several of the rezoning proposals would draw the attendance boundary along U.S. Highway 441, a line she says follows existing economic divisions in the city.

“There is more poverty and government housing on the north side of 441,” Osborne said. “This would divide our community even more.”

Osborne and other Irby advocates have proposed an alternative: keep all pre-K through fourth grade students together at Irby, with fifth graders transitioning to Mebane. That approach, they argue, would preserve the sense of community that has defined the Alachua school system for years while still addressing enrollment imbalances.

Parents have also raised concerns about young children being placed on a middle school campus. Several families have told Osborne they are already exploring private and charter school options if Irby closes.

“I fear that the board’s plan may hurt our already low enrollment even more,” she said.

Fears about what closure would mean

Osborne also questions the financial logic behind closing Irby. Consolidating students at Mebane would require building new facilities on its campus to house elementary students separately from the middle school population, a project the district says it plans to complete by August 2028. That construction cost, she argues, makes little sense when Irby’s building is already designed for and suited to elementary-age children.

“Closing Irby and building a new facility on Mebane’s campus will cost millions and millions of dollars when our district is in major debt already,” she said.

What comes next

The board will hold a workshop on April 29 at 10 a.m. before the final vote on May 5 at its 6 p.m. meeting. Osborne and other Irby supporters plan to be present and vocal at both.

She has taught at Irby for more than two decades. Her own children attended the school. That history, she said, makes it impossible to stay quiet while its future is being decided.

“We are pleading to the board to think about what would best benefit our community, our children and our families,” she said.

Kanapaha Middle School Ensemble Wins Top Honors/Photo special to Alachua County Today

Gainesville – The Kanapaha Middle School Wind Ensemble’s first performance outside of Florida was an extremely successful one, with the 39 young musicians winning first place for middle school concert bands in the recent Smoky Mountain Music Festival in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

“The icing on the cake was their 95.67 score out of 100, which was not only first place in their division, but the highest score given to all the groups that performed at the event, including all middle and high school ensembles,” said Michael Loffredo, who directed the ensemble with Summer Atteberry.

The Smoky Mountain Music Festival, established nearly 40 years ago, draws top student ensembles from throughout the U.S. and Canada. The groups are given the opportunity to demonstrate their talents before highly-respected and internationally-recognized judges.

The Kanapaha ensemble performed three pieces at the event, which was the first out-of-state appearance in the history of the school’s band program.

Two members of the ensemble were also singled out for special honors. Flutist MaryAnne Leko and trumpet player Laila McCaslin, both 8th-graders, performed solos at the competition and were recognized for outstanding achievement and performance.

ALACHUA – Jackson Youmas was sworn in as Alachua City Commissioner for Seat 3 at Monday's commission meeting, stepping into the role following his victory in the April 14, 2026, city election. The evening also served as a formal farewell to outgoing Commissioner Dayna Williams, who completed her eight years of service, and produced a contested vice-mayor vote that ended with Commissioner Jennifer Ringersen claiming the seat 3-2.

Ringersen wins vice-mayor vote in split decision

Immediately after the swearing in, the commission turned to electing a vice mayor, a required annual action under the city charter following each city election. City Manager Valladares called for nominations.

Commissioner Shirley Green Brown nominated Ringersen, while Youmas nominated Commissioner Jacob Fletcher. With two names on the table, Valladares called a roll-call vote on the Ringersen nomination.

Fletcher voted nay, stating it would be a disservice to vote for Ringersen when he was also nominated. Ringersen voted aye. Youmas voted nay. Mayor Walter Welch voted aye4, and Green-Brown, who had made the nomination, voted aye, delivering Ringersen the vice mayor seat by a 3-2 margin.

Dayna Williams says goodbye

Before the vote on the vice mayor, the commission honored Williams, who served as city commissioner from 2018 to 2026 and as vice mayor in 2020 and 2023. Valladares presented her with a commemorative gavel plaque on behalf of the city, crediting her dedication and thoughtful decision making during her years guiding the city through important initiatives and challenges.

Williams then addressed the chamber in remarks that drew sustained applause.

“Serving the city of Alachua for the past eight years has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Williams said. “I truly believe that seasons in life have purpose, and I feel at peace knowing that mine has come to a close.”

She made personal remarks to each of her colleagues on the dais. To Youmas, she offered both encouragement and an open door: “I want to thank you for having the guts and bravery to just run for office. That alone takes a big leap of faith. You've got a big job. I know you know that, and I want you to know I will be here if you have any questions.”

She praised Green-Brown as a mentor and maternal figure, called Ringersen a friend and praised her growth as a commissioner, expressed hope for productive differences with Fletcher, and thanked City Manager Valladares, calling him “my rock,” for his guidance over the years. She said she and Welch had learned a lot from each other.

“I was a part of this community before I got elected. I will continue to be a part of this community afterwards,” Williams said, drawing laughter when she quipped near the end of her remarks: “I thought I was going to make it short, but I guess I didn't, and I apologize. But what are you going to do? Fire me?”

Youmas addresses his election, sets tone for service

Near the close of the meeting, during commissioner comments, Youmas spoke at length about why he ran and how he intends to serve.

He thanked supporters and offered what amounted to a statement of purpose, pushing back against media coverage and public speculation about his motivations and the circumstances of his candidacy.

“People never came and asked me,” Youmas said. “I was at CVS, but I met people from this community, all walks of life, from Turkey Creek to Legacy and everywhere else, and they told me their concerns, and it had nothing to do with Commissioner Fletcher or the mayor.”

He confirmed that Fletcher and Mayor Welch had encouraged him to run, but rejected any suggestion of a coordinated back-room arrangement. His wife, Robin Youmas, told the commission during public comment that Fletcher and the mayor had encouraged him because they recognized him as a good man and believed he would be an asset to the community, not because of any hidden agenda.

Youmas, who described himself as a licensed minister, said his decision to run came only after prayer and reflection. “That's how I move. I'm a man of God,” he said. “And I want to thank the community for just believing in me. Every vote we got, we earned it, by meeting people where they were.”

He closed with a call for the commission to move away from division and focus on the work. “All the drama, all the ‘he-said-she-said’, all that kind of stuff has got to stop. It's time for business. It's time to be real and serious about what we do and take care of the people. Let's show it. Let's do it. Let's do it together.”

Youmas will serve a three-year term for Seat 3.

ALACHUA – A local restaurant’s community-driven fundraiser delivered nearly $2,800 to support cancer research and patient services, with the presentation made during a City Commission meeting.

The Alachua Chamber of Commerce Relay For Life Team accepted a $2,792.96 donation from Mi Apa Latin Cafe, presented by owner Peter Ynigo, as part of the restaurant’s annual “Stick A Fork in Cancer” initiative benefiting the American Cancer Society.

The fundraiser on March 5, 2026, brought together a mix of community leaders and volunteers who stepped out of their usual roles to serve diners. Police officers, city officials, commissioners and Chamber board members joined Mi Apa staff as “celebrity servers,” helping collect tips that were ultimately donated to the cause.

“Last month’s event was truly special, as police officers, city officials, commissioners, Chamber board members, and yes, even a few of us, stepped in as celebrity servers alongside the amazing Mi Apa team,” said Alachua Chamber President Shelley Vickers. “Together, we served our community, raised funds, and shared a lot of smiles along the way.”

Vickers credited the restaurant’s team for making the contribution possible.

“A heartfelt thank you to Peter, Freddie Wehbe, and the entire Mi Apa team for their continued generosity and unwavering support of this important cause,” she said. “We are especially grateful to the staff who donated all of their tips to make this contribution possible.”

She also recognized the volunteers who participated in the event.

“We’d also like to recognize our dedicated volunteer servers from the City of Alachua Commission, Alachua Police Department, and the Alachua Chamber Board,” Vickers said. “Your time, energy, and servant hearts made a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.”

The annual “Stick A Fork in Cancer” event is part of broader Relay For Life activities held in Alachua, which aim to raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society through community-based events.

“This is what community looks like, coming together, giving back, and making a difference,” Vickers added.

The new Hawthorne Branch library, located at 6640 S.E. 221 St., will open to the public Saturday, April 25, 2026, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours.

HAWTHORNE – A new chapter for public access, learning and community connection will begin Saturday morning as the Alachua County Library District opens its new Hawthorne Branch, a facility designed to expand services and create gathering space in a city where the library has long served as a central hub.

A grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on April 25, 2026, at the branch’s new location, 6640 S.E. 221st Street, followed by self-guided tours of the building.

The new branch replaces the previous location with a larger, modern facility that library officials say reflects years of planning and a broader effort to strengthen library infrastructure across Alachua County. Construction on the building began in early February 2026 and was completed in time for the spring opening.

For residents of Hawthorne, the expansion represents more than just a new building. It adds dedicated spaces for children, teens, students and adults, reinforcing the library’s role as both an educational resource and a community meeting place.

The branch includes a “Snuggle-Up Center” for young children and families, a designated Teen Space, a Quiet Reading Room and two study rooms. A meeting room provides space for local groups and programming, while a new MakerSpace introduces access to creative tools and technology.

Library officials say the MakerSpace is intended to give residents hands-on opportunities with equipment and digital resources that might otherwise be out of reach.

The Hawthorne project is part of a long-term capital improvement strategy by the Library District, which since the early 2000s has focused on renovating, expanding and building facilities to meet the needs of a growing and evolving population.

“We hope the new Hawthorne Branch will bring more opportunities for patrons to participate, connect, and discover all the wonderful library services the Alachua County Library District has to offer,” said Library Director Shaney Livingston.

Beyond books and computers, library leaders say the new space is designed to support community life — offering a place for students to study, families to gather, residents to attend programs and individuals to access technology and information.

In smaller communities like Hawthorne, where public spaces can be limited, the library often serves as a central, accessible venue for civic engagement, education and social connection. The expanded branch aims to build on that role, providing a modern, flexible environment for residents of all ages.

Saturday’s opening invites the public not only to tour the building, but to see firsthand how the new branch is positioned to serve as a cornerstone of the community for years to come.

HIGH SPRINGS – One of two women pulled unresponsive from the water at Poe Springs Park on Sunday has died, while the second remains hospitalized in critical condition, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded shortly before 4 p.m. April 19, 2026, to the popular spring following a report of a possible drowning. The caller reported that two individuals had been removed from the water and were unconscious.

Authorities said a teenage snorkeler located the women in the water, pulled them to shore and contacted emergency services. A bystander with medical training then began CPR before deputies, High Springs Fire Department personnel and Alachua County Fire Rescue paramedics arrived and continued life-saving efforts.

Both women were transported to a nearby hospital. Officials said a woman in her late 20s later died, while another woman in her mid-20s remained in critical condition as of the latest update.

Preliminary information indicates the incident began when one woman was walking along the edge of the spring and fell into the water, where she began to struggle. A second woman entered the water in an attempt to help but was also pulled under.

When others nearby realized the two had not resurfaced, they entered the water and assisted in bringing them back to shore, where CPR was initiated.

As a precaution, the Sheriff’s Office Marine Operations Underwater Recovery Team searched the area to ensure no additional victims were involved.

“This remains an active investigation and no further details are available at this time,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Authorities also acknowledged those who responded before emergency crews arrived.

“We are deeply grateful to the citizens who acted quickly in a dangerous and uncertain situation,” the agency said. “Their willingness to help made a critical difference.”

Officials also thanked the High Springs Police Department and High Springs Fire Department for their assistance.

Poe Springs Park, located along the Santa Fe River, is a popular destination for swimming and recreation, particularly during warmer months. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers even in familiar natural settings.

Authorities have not released the identities of the women as the investigation continues.

TALLAHASSEE – United States Attorney John P. Heekin highlighted a year of expanded prosecutions, civil recoveries and appellate work in a summary of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida’s accomplishments during 2025.

In announcing the annual summary, Heekin said the office advanced the priorities of the U.S. Department of Justice while focusing on public safety and enforcement across northern Florida.

“This past year was momentous for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida as we capably answered the calls to action by President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi while fulfilling the vital mission of the Department of Justice,” Heekin said. “Through our work, we have demonstrated our unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the safety and well-being of our communities.”

Heekin credited partnerships with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and said those relationships would continue to be strengthened in 2026 “as we strive toward delivering safe streets for our residents.”

Criminal Division activity

The U.S. Attorney’s Office divides its federal casework among three divisions: Criminal, Civil and Appellate.

According to the annual summary, the Criminal Division played a central role in enforcement efforts during 2025 through Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative aimed at addressing illegal immigration, dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and combating violent crime, drug trafficking and human trafficking.

During calendar year 2025, prosecutors in the Northern District of Florida reported:

  • 391 criminal defendants charged;
  • 293 guilty pleas entered;
  • 35 criminal jury trials conducted;
  • 984 direct contacts with crime victims; and
  • 9,818 written notifications issued to crime victims.

The office said those efforts focused on communities impacted by illegal drugs and criminal violence.

Civil Division recoveries

The Civil Division represents the United States in civil litigation, defends federal agencies and employees, and pursues affirmative cases to recover funds lost to fraud or improper claims. The division also enforces criminal and civil monetary judgments through its Financial Litigation Program.

In 2025, the Civil Division reported:

  • Representation of federal agencies in 53 newly filed defensive cases;
  • Recovery of $1.7 million through settlements resolving false claims against the federal government;
  • Collection of $6.4 million in criminal money judgments;
  • Nearly $4 million applied toward victim restitution through asset forfeiture restoration; and
  • More than $1 million distributed to state and local law enforcement agencies through the Equitable Sharing Program.

Appellate work

The Appellate Division represents the government in appeals before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. During 2025, the division handled:

  • 105 appeals, including 93 criminal and 12 civil appeals;
  • 113 responses to post-conviction motions; and
  • 80 appellate decisions affirming district court rulings in favor of the government.

Looking ahead

“The substantial accomplishments of 2025 are merely the foundation upon which we will build even greater achievements in 2026,” Heekin said.

He added that expectations set by the president and attorney general call for continued focus on public safety and oversight of federal programs.

“In 2026, we will remain tireless in our pursuit of justice on behalf of our citizens and committed to making the Northern District of Florida the absolute best – and safest – place in America to live, work and raise a family,” Heekin said.

More information about the Northern District of Florida’s responsibilities and divisions is available through the Department of Justice.

~ The following is a press release provided by Florida TaxWatch. It has been published here as received, without additional reporting or editing by Alachua County Today staff. ~ 

Tallahassee, Fla. – Today, Florida TaxWatch released a second report, Save Our Taxpayers – Property Tax Relief Must be Accomplished Equitably, as a follow up to its original report Options to Eliminate or Reduce the Property Tax Burden on Florida Homeowners primer, as the 2026 Legislative Session commences. This report examines the Florida House of Representative’s proposals, provides the fiscal impact of each, and calls for a ‘Save Our Taxpayers’ ballot amendment for equitable property tax relief.

Property taxes are by far the largest source of tax revenue for Florida’s local governments, generating $59.2 billion in FY2025-26 for counties, school districts, municipalities, and special districts, and that amount is rising rapidly. Of this total, more than $20 billion is paid by Florida homeowners. This revenue funds critical government services such as public safety, fire protection, education, and sanitation.

Florida TaxWatch President and CEO Jeff Kottkamp said, “While the Governor and many in the Legislature want to bring a property tax relief proposal to the voters in 2026, they are far from a consensus of what that proposal will look like. Property tax levies, fueled by rising property values, are increasing rapidly in Florida. They have more than doubled in the last 10 years, including 50 percent growth in the last four years. In turn, many local government budgets have dramatically increased over the last 10 years.

“Providing property tax relief to Florida taxpayers is commendable and the focus on homestead property by the Governor and the Legislature is understandable. But putting a proposal on the 2026 ballot to eliminate all property taxes, without also addressing ever escalating local government spending, is not advisable.

“Florida TaxWatch provides six recommendations, with actionable items, calling for a ‘Save Our Taxpayers’ amendment to replace the current inadequate 10 percent non-homestead assessment cap with one that matches the Save Our Homes cap of the lesser of three percent or inflation for all property owners. We look forward to working with policymakers to ensure property tax relief is equitable for all of Florida’s hardworking taxpayers.”

Those who have been bearing the brunt of rising property taxes should not be forgotten. This includes renters, businesses, people renovating or building an addition to their home, people moving to Florida, and new homeowners. Almost all of the proposals before the Legislature would increase the tax shift from homestead to non-homestead property that already stands at more than $10 billion and growing.

The time is right for a “Save Our Taxpayers” cap to be created, limiting the increases in assessments for both homestead and non-homestead property at the same growth rate. This has been a long-standing Florida TaxWatch recommendation and its research helped to get the constitutional amendment on the ballot that created the 10 percent homestead cap in 2008.

Based on the findings in this report, Florida TaxWatch recommends:

  1. The Legislature should not attempt to put a constitutional amendment on the November 2026 ballot to eliminate all property taxes, even if it is limited to non-school property tax levies. Undertaking such a major change in Florida’s tax system should not be attempted without a comprehensive reform plan, including local government efficiency and fiscal responsibility, ensuring the provision of critical government services, and safeguards against the shifting taxes to non-homestead properties.
  1. A “Save Our Taxpayers” amendment should be put before the voters to replace the current inadequate 10 percent non-homestead assessment cap with one that matches the Save Our Homes cap of the lesser of three percent or inflation. This would help stop the current tax shift and ensure that all taxpayers are treated more fairly.
  1. The Legislature should create an additional exemption for new homeowners—for example, 25 percent of the new home’s initial assessed value. This could be structured so that the new homeowner would have an immediate 25 percent reduction in value which would then be phased out (dollar for dollar) as their Save Our Homes differential increases. This would reduce the cost of buying a home, especially in the first year, helping more Floridians achieve the goal of homeownership.
  1. If the Legislature wants to create a new homestead exemption, it should consider making the amount equal to a percentage of the median home value in the county where the home is located. Instead of a the same “one size fits all” amount for all homes statewide, tying the size of the exemption to each home’s value would make the tax savings relatively greater for those in the county with lower home values and therefore likely lower incomes. By acknowledging the difference in median home values between counties, it could help fiscally constrained counties deal with the revenue loss.
  1. Any new property tax benefit for homestead property only should be accompanied by a requirement that local governments adopt the rolled-back rate after adding back any taxable value lost to the new exemption, at least temporarily. This would ensure that tax burden is not shifted to other properties, but also that taxpayers receive the full value of the exemption the Legislature (and voters) expected.
  1. The Legislature should reform the Value Adjustment Board system, especially increasing the independence of VABs from the local officials that spend the money. A three percent success rate for taxpayers challenging their assessments (for people outside of Miami-Dade County) does not indicate a fair system.

Florida TaxWatch also examines the Florida House of Representatives’ seven proposed constitutional amendments and one statutory change, including the fiscal impact of each, which may be found on pages 5 through 8 here.

~ The following is a press release provided by the office of Governor Ron DeSantis. It has been published here as received, without additional reporting or editing by Alachua County Today staff. ~ 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis joined First Lady Casey DeSantis and Mayo Clinic President and CEO Dr. Kent Thielen to announce that Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville is launching the first carbon ion therapy program in America and the only carbon ion therapy program in the Western Hemisphere.

“Our administration is committed to fighting cancer by making targeted investments in innovative therapies that have the potential to save lives," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "During my time as governor, we’ve increased funding for cancer research and treatment programs by more than 114 percent. The Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program has strengthened Florida’s position as a national leader in cancer research and innovation. We’re proud that Mayo Clinic chose Florida as the home for this groundbreaking initiative, and we look forward to seeing how these cutting-edge therapies give hope to patients fighting some of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers.”

In June 2025, Mayo Clinic opened the 228,000-square-foot Duan Family Building in Jacksonville to expand cancer treatment and research. The new facility will be uniquely designed to deliver both carbon ion therapy and proton therapy, including the ability to treat the same tumor with either approach for greater precision.

“Under the Governor’s leadership, Florida continues to lead in innovation, and today at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, we are proving that this leadership extends beyond our state, transforming not only how we care for Floridians, but also how the rest of America approaches cancer treatment,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “This state-of-the-art technology was made possible, in part, through funding from the Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program.”

Mayo Clinic expects proton therapy to begin in 2027 and carbon ion therapy to begin in 2028. Patients will benefit from expanded care well before then through additional services already being offered at the facility, including photon therapy, immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, advanced imaging, and other specialized cancer services.

Carbon ion therapy is one of the most advanced radiation treatment technologies in the world, designed for hard-to-treat and treatment-resistant cancers. Until now, the therapy has only been available at a limited number of centers in Asia and Europe.

Florida continues to invest heavily in cancer research and treatment. Since 2019, Florida has invested more than $1 billion, increasing cancer program funding by more than 114% and committing nearly $218 million for cancer research in 2025 alone.

TALLAHASSEE – On Dec. 18, 2025, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a total of $311 million in awards to improve infrastructure in 37 Florida communities, which includes 32 awards to rural counties and small cities. These awards come from funding through both the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Infrastructure Repair Program, helping communities impacted by the 2023 and 2024 Storms—Hurricanes Idalia, Debby, Helene, Milton and the 2024 North Florida Tornadoes and funding from the Rural Infrastructure Fund (RIF). These awards invest in critical infrastructure needs ranging from utility and transportation improvements to emergency operations resources in these communities—especially supporting critical water infrastructure investments across the state.

“Today in Highlands County, I was proud to announce $311 million in grant awards to improve infrastructure in 37 communities across Florida impacted by the major storms of 2023 and 2024—Hurricanes Idalia, Debby, Helene, Milton and the North Florida Tornadoes,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “These infrastructure projects will help make Florida more prosperous, more resilient, and better prepared to weather any storms that may come our way.”

“These awards directly support job creation by providing communities with the critical infrastructure to embolden their vision for resiliency and business formation,” said Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly. “Whether it’s upgrading utilities, developing pad ready manufacturing sites, or improving essential services, these projects help small and rural communities attract job creators, bolster their workforce and build a thriving economic future.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —Today, Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis announced Florida awards $30 million in grant funding to four specialty children’s hospitals in Florida to develop and improve access to clinical trials, advance treatment protocols, and discover cures for childhood cancer. Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Nemour’s Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, and Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville were each awarded $7.5 million.

“Since I became governor, Florida has invested more than $1 billion in cancer research and treatment—a 114% increase. We created the Cancer Connect Collaborative Research Incubator program within the Florida Department of Health this year to enhance cancer research throughout Florida,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Four of Florida’s top children’s hospitals have received a total of $30 million in funding for their innovative proposals to help children and adolescents who are fighting cancer. By investing in statewide infrastructure for pediatric cancer initiatives, we aim to eliminate the need for Florida families to travel out of state for potentially life-saving experimental therapies and specialized care.”

The Cancer Connect Collaborative Research Incubator was created in 2025 to further Florida efforts as a leader in cancer research and treatment. The Incubator is funded with $30 million and will focus on pediatric cancer in its first five-year funding cycle. While pediatric cancer accounts for just one percent of cases nationally, Florida’s pediatric cancer population is significant, with the state accounting for six percent of all new pediatric cancer cases in the U.S., thereby impacting thousands of children and families every year.

“Research Incubator investments to advance research, prevention, and treatment for pediatric cancer represents a meaningful step forward in our mission to improve outcomes, strengthen families, and ensure that every child has access to the most advanced care possible right here in Florida,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “I’m deeply grateful to Governor DeSantis for his unwavering leadership and commitment to advancing cancer research in Florida.”

“Thanks to the vision and leadership of First Lady Casey DeSantis, Florida continues to set the national standard for advancing adult and childhood cancer research and care,” said State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A Ladapo. “Through the Cancer Connect Collaborative Research Incubator, we’re not only investing in science—we’re investing in hope for children and families across the state.”

The Incubator is part of Florida’s Cancer Connect Collaborative, an innovative model designed to accelerate research, share best practices, and turn data into actionable results. Guided by five pillars—Data, Best Practices, Innovation, Honesty, and Funding—the initiative brings together public and private partners to reshape cancer care delivery.

“Thanks to the leadership of First Lady and Governor DeSantis, Florida continues to make cancer research and treatment a top priority,” said Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Shevaun Harris. “The Cancer Connect Collaborative Research Incubator is a bold step forward, beginning with pediatric cancer research. We look forward to seeing the strides made among the awardees and the collaboration that will accelerate breakthroughs, improve access to therapies, and offer hope to families across our state.”

Acetaminophen — best known today by the brand name Tylenol — is one of the most widely used pain relievers in the world. But its path from laboratory discovery to medicine cabinet staple spans more than a century and includes missteps, rediscovery and one William Garst HSof the most significant public health crises in modern pharmaceutical history.

Early discovery and setbacks

Acetaminophen was first synthesized in 1878 by chemist Harmon Northrop Morse, but its medical potential was not immediately recognized.

In the late 1800s, researchers began exploring related compounds as treatments for fever. In 1886, German physicians Arnold Cahn and Paul Hepp inadvertently discovered the fever-reducing properties of acetanilide after administering it by mistake while treating a patient. The drug was later marketed under the name Antifebrin.

Concerns about side effects soon led scientists to investigate alternatives. Phenacetin was introduced in 1887, and acetaminophen itself was used for pain and fever by 1893. However, early concerns — later determined to be unfounded — limited its adoption.

It was not until the 1940s that researchers determined both acetanilide and phenacetin were metabolized by the body into acetaminophen, identifying it as the true source of their therapeutic effects.

The rise of Tylenol

Renewed interest in acetaminophen grew in the 1950s, particularly as researchers sought safer alternatives to aspirin, which was associated with stomach irritation and other risks.

In 1955, McNeil Laboratories introduced Tylenol Elixir for Children, the first single-ingredient acetaminophen product marketed under the now-familiar brand name. The name “Tylenol” was derived from the drug’s chemical structure.

Initially available by prescription, Tylenol gained over-the-counter status in 1960, significantly expanding its reach. Its positioning as a safer option for children and adults helped drive widespread adoption.

A crisis that reshaped the industry

Tylenol’s dominance was challenged in 1982 during a crisis that would permanently change pharmaceutical safety standards.

Seven people in the Chicago area died after ingesting Extra Strength Tylenol capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide after leaving the manufacturing facility. The incident prompted a nationwide recall of approximately 31 million bottles.

In response, manufacturer Johnson & Johnson implemented sweeping safety measures, including the introduction of tamper-resistant packaging and new pill designs such as the caplet, which is more difficult to alter than traditional capsules.

The incident led to federal action, including legislation making product tampering a crime and the establishment of U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines requiring tamper-evident packaging for over-the-counter medications.

A global staple

Today, acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used medications worldwide for pain relief and fever reduction. Its widespread availability and long track record have made it a standard recommendation in both clinical and household settings.

Neuropathy is essentially a “glitch” in your body’s electrical system. It occurs when nerves — usually the peripheral nerves outside of your brain and spinal cord — become damaged or destroyed.

William Garst HS
Instead of sending clear signals to your brain, these damaged nerves might send “phantom” pain signals, or stop sending signals altogether. It often feels like tingling, burning, or a numb “pins and needles” sensation, typically starting in the hands or feet.

Common Medications for Neuropathy

Treating neuropathy is usually a two-front war: managing the pain and addressing the underlying cause (like diabetes or vitamin deficiencies). Because “normal” painkillers like ibuprofen often don't touch nerve pain, doctors usually turn to these categories:

Anticonvulsants (Seizure Meds)

These are often the first line of defense. They work by "calming down" the overactive nerve cells that are firing off pain signals.

  • Gabapentin (Neurontin): Very common; helps dampen the intensity of nerve firing.
  • Pregabalin (Lyrica): Similar to Gabapentin but often works faster and is more easily absorbed.

Antidepressants

You don't have to be depressed to take these for neuropathy. They interfere with the chemical processes in your brain and spinal cord that cause you to feel pain.

  • SNRIs (e.g., Duloxetine/Cymbalta): Often used for diabetic neuropathy.
  • Tricyclic Antidepressants (e.g., Amitriptyline): Older meds that are very effective for nerve pain, though they can cause drowsiness.

Topical Treatments

If the pain is localized to a specific spot, sometimes it's better to treat the skin directly rather than taking a pill.

  • Lidocaine Patches: Numb the area temporarily.
  • Capsaicin Cream: Derived from chili peppers; it can actually “exhaust” the pain messengers in your nerves, though it might sting at first.

Pain Relievers

  • OTC Meds: Acetaminophen or NSAIDs (Advil/Aleve) might help with mild symptoms but are generally less effective for deep nerve damage.
  • Opioids: Generally considered a last resort due to the risk of addiction and the fact that they aren't always effective for chronic nerve pain.

              Prosper and be in health.

William Garst HSUsing an inhaler seems straightforward, but it’s actually a high-precision task. If the technique isn't quite right, the medication often ends up hitting the back of your throat instead of reaching your lungs where it’s needed.

Here is a guide to help you master the puff.

The Pre-Game Checklist

Before you even take a breath, make sure the device is ready to perform.

 

  • Check the Dose Counter: It sounds obvious, but many people keep “puffing” an empty canister. If it’s in the red or at zero, it's time for a replacement.
  • Shake it Up: Most Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs) are suspensions. Shake the inhaler for 5 seconds to mix the medicine with the propellant. (Note: Dry Powder Inhalers do not need shaking).
  • Prime the Pump: If you haven’t used the inhaler in a few days (or if it’s brand new), spray it twice into the air to ensure the next dose is full strength.

Perfecting the Technique

The goal is to create a clear “highway” for the mist or powder to travel down.

For Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs - the “L” shaped ones)

  1. Exhale Fully: Breathe out away from the inhaler until your lungs feel empty. This creates space for the medication.
  2. Posture Matters: Sit up straight or stand. Tilt your chin up slightly to straighten the airway.
  3. The Slow Sip: Start inhaling slowly and deeply just as you press the canister. Think of it like a long, steady straw sip, not a quick gasp.
  4. The 10-Second Hold: Hold your breath for 10 seconds (or as long as comfortable) to let the particles settle deep in the lungs.

For Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs - like Diskus or Ellipta)

  • The Quick Snap: Unlike MDIs, DPIs require a quick, forceful breath to “suck” the powder out.
  • Keep it Dry: Never exhale into a DPI, as the moisture from your breath can clump the powder.

Pro-Tips for Better Results

Tip

Why it Matters

Use a Spacer

For MDIs, a spacer (valved holding chamber) catches the “mist” so you can breathe it in naturally. It's often more effective than "open mouth" techniques.

The 60-Second Rule

If you need two puffs of the same med, wait about one minute between them. This allows the lungs to open slightly from the first puff, making the second more effective. This is not true for inhaled corticosteroids and unlikely to make a difference with albuterol in most cases

Rinse and Spit

If your inhaler contains a steroid (preventer), always rinse your mouth with water and spit it out afterward to prevent oral thrush (a yeast infection).

Maintenance & Storage

  • Clean the Plastic: Once a week, remove the metal canister and wash the plastic actuator with warm water. Let it air dry. Clogged nozzles lead to uneven doses.
  • Temperature Control: Don't leave inhalers in a hot car. Extreme heat can cause the canister to burst or the medication to degrade.

Common Mistake to Avoid

The “Tongue Block”: Make sure your tongue is on the floor of your mouth. If your tongue is up, it acts like a shield, and the medicine just sticks to it instead of going down your windpipe.

Managing glaucoma requires a commitment to a daily routine. Because glaucoma is often “silent” (meaning you won't feel your eye pressure rising), the medications are your primary defense against permanent vision loss.

William Garst HS
Here are five essential things every patient should know about glaucoma medications:

  1. Consistency is Your Most Powerful Tool

Glaucoma eye drops only work for a specific window of time (usually 12 to 24 hours). If you skip a dose, your eye pressure can spike, causing “silent” damage to the optic nerve.

  • The Goal: Maintain a steady level of medication in your eye around the clock.
  • Pro-Tip: Tie your drop schedule to a daily habit, like brushing your teeth or having your morning coffee, to ensure you never miss a dose.
  1. Proper Technique Prevents “Body-Wide” Side Effects

Many patients don't realize that eye drops can enter the bloodstream through the tear ducts, potentially affecting your heart or lungs. You can minimize this using a technique called Punctal Occlusion:

  • After putting in a drop, close your eyes gently (do not squeeze or blink rapidly).
  • Use your finger to press firmly on the inner corner of your eye (near the bridge of your nose) for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • This keeps the medicine in your eye and prevents it from draining into your throat and bloodstream.
  1. The “Five-Minute Rule” for Multiple Drops

If your doctor prescribes more than one type of eye drop, wait at least 5 minutes between them.

  • Why? Your eye can only hold about one-sixth of a single drop at a time. If you put the second drop in too quickly, it will simply wash out the first one before it has a chance to be absorbed, making your treatment less effective.
  1. Side Effects Are Common — and Manageable

Don't be alarmed if your eyes sting, turn red, or feel “gritty” when you first start a new medication.

  • Expect Local Changes: Some drops (Prostaglandins) can cause your eyelashes to grow longer or even permanently darken the color of your iris (the colored part of your eye).
  • Monitor Systemic Effects: Beta-blocker drops can sometimes slow your heart rate or worsen asthma. Always tell your eye doctor about your full medical history, especially heart or lung conditions.
  • Refrigeration Trick: If you have trouble feeling if the drop actually landed in your eye, try keeping the bottle in the fridge. The cold sensation makes it much easier to tell if you’ve “hit the target.”
  1. They Don't Make Your Vision Better (But They Keep It)

One of the hardest parts of glaucoma treatment is that the medication doesn't improve your sight or make your eyes feel better — it simply preserves the vision you still have.

  • Stay the Course: You may feel like the drops aren't “doing anything” because you don't see a difference, but they are working behind the scenes to prevent blindness.
  • Never Stop Suddenly: Abruptly stopping glaucoma medication can cause a dangerous “rebound” spike in eye pressure.

Prosper and be in health

William Garst HSEveryone taking prescription medications should be aware of essential safety practices. Here are six tips to help ensure you are taking your medicine correctly and safely:

1. Maintain a Comprehensive Medication List

Keep an up-to-date list of everything you take, and share it with every healthcare provider you see (doctors, specialists, dentists, and pharmacists).

  • Include: All prescription drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins, herbs, and dietary supplements.
  • Detail: The name, dosage, how often you take it, and the reason it was prescribed.
  • Why it matters: This is the most crucial step to prevent dangerous drug-to-drug interactions, to ensure you don't accidentally overdose on two products with the same active ingredient, and to help your doctor avoid prescribing medicine you shouldn't take.

2. Know the "Five W's" of Each New Drug

Before you leave the doctor's office or the pharmacy, make sure you know the following for every new prescription:

  • What is the name of the drug and what is it for?
  • When should I take it (e.g., morning, night, with food, on an empty stomach)?
  • What are the most common side effects, and when should I call the doctor?
  • What foods, drinks (like alcohol or grapefruit juice), or other medications should I avoid?
  • Why am I taking this (What is the goal of the therapy)?

3. Take Your Medication Exactly as Prescribed

Consistency is key to the drug's effectiveness and your safety.

  • Follow Directions: Take the exact dose at the exact time(s) specified. Do not skip doses, and never take a larger dose because you think it will work faster.
  • Do Not Stop Early: Finish the full course of a prescription (especially antibiotics), even if you start to feel better. Never stop taking a maintenance drug on your own; always consult your doctor first.
  • Ask Before Modifying: Do not crush, cut, or chew tablets unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is safe, as this can affect how the drug is absorbed or release the medicine too quickly.

4. Use a Single Pharmacy

Whenever possible, fill all your prescriptions at the same pharmacy.

  • Interaction Check: This allows your pharmacist—who is a medication expert—to have a complete and centralized record of your profile and automatically check for potential drug interactions or dosage conflicts.
  • Ask Questions: Your pharmacist is your best resource for practical advice on when and how to take a medication and what common side effects to expect.

5. Store and Dispose of Medication Safely

Improper storage can ruin the drug's effectiveness, and improper disposal can lead to danger.

  • Storage: Keep most medications in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. The bathroom medicine cabinet is often too humid for proper storage.
  • Security: Always store medications, especially controlled substances and pain relievers, in a secure place out of reach and out of sight of children, pets, and visitors.
  • Disposal: Never flush medicine down the toilet or throw it in the trash unless the label specifically instructs you to. Find a drug take-back program or a community disposal site (often at local police departments or pharmacies) for safe disposal of unused or expired drugs.

6. Never Share or Borrow Prescription Medication

Medications are prescribed based on an individual's specific medical condition, weight, allergies, and other concurrent medications.

  • For You Only: Never take medicine prescribed to another person, even if you have the same symptoms. What is helpful for one person could be dangerous or deadly for another.
  • Do Not Share: Never give your prescription to a family member or friend. If you have unused medication, dispose of it safely.

Prosper and be in health.
