The hurricane season just kicked in for Highlands County. The "big blow" is the news that Publix has decided to limit our area's already sparse shopping choices even more in purchasing Albertson's. It is no wonder that Publix could afford to make this transaction due to their exorbitant prices.

SFCC has the second highest percentage of membership in the state in FACC, a group that lobbies for community college legislation in Tallahassee. About 93 percent of SFCC's full-time employees are members of the professional organization that represents the state's 28 community colleges and has more than 8,000 members statewide. Adam Martin, who served as president of SFCC's FACC during 2007, said the local chapter has challenged itself to add seven more members in 2008 and bring its total membership to 200. If the chapter adds 30 members, it will boost the membership to 100 percent. "The college supports FACC, which, in turn, supports the college," Martin said.
