Water shortages are nothing new in Florida - during the summer months you can expect the local water management district to issue lawn watering restrictions. Many have finally started making the sensible switch to native plants that are drought tolerant. There has been talk to desalinization plants for years - now the City of Tarpon Springs is moving in the direction of getting a reverse osmosis plant of their own!!! The process is underway to select a designer for this plant which will hopefully provide 5 million gallons per day of drinking water! Tarpon Springs - on the cutting edge.       05/14/2008

Is a new magnet program coming to Tarpon Springs High? It sure looks that way! The Leadership Conservatory for the Arts at Tarpon Springs High School may very well become the 16th countywide magnet school! The proposed program would be phased in over a four year period, beginning with the next school year's freshman class. These students would take an 18 week course in leadership prior to choosing an area of focus in the arts. This program would not be the same as the program already in place at Gibbs High in St Petersburg, since it would highlight management skills (such as becoming the orchestra conductor, the fine arts curator or some such position). This is another plus for students in our Pinellas County public schools and something parents need to be aware of. Pinellas County publ... 01/16/2008
