On January 24th in Melbourne Beach, Brevard Zoo’s Sea Turtle Healing Center released subadult loggerheads Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. The turtles were found in a debilitated state at St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant’s intake canal in October. Both were lethargic and slightly underweight with a moderate load of barnacles, algae and leeches. Zoo staff and volunteers treated the patients with rest, nutritious food and fluids.

Senator Dorothy L. Hukill’s (R-Port Orange) student financial literacy bill passed on the floor of the Senate January 11th with unanimous support.

Senator Hukill’s bill will require high school students in grades 9-12 to take a one-half credit course in personal financial literacy, beginning in the 2018-2019 school year.

The student financial literacy bill is designed to equip high school students with the basic principles of money management. Specific examples include subjects such as: spending and managing debt, opening and managing a bank account, savings and investing, simple contracts, computing federal income taxes, and contesting an incorrect billing statement.
