“We listed our home with Michelle in February 2018. On the inspection of the home, Michelle pointed out several things that needed attention and/or repairs that I would have missed. She and her team are very thorough with details. We had 2 issues during the listing and again they were very helpful, supportive and patience until both were resolved. It was a pleasure to deal with Michelle, Brandi and the entire team and we will definitely recommend them to others.”

“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
Henry loved living in the woods. He had done it just about all of his life, wandering around sometimes setting up camp and living near the creek and the old caves for longer periods of time. He wanted so much to find Bruce but he knew that might be impossible now. He had no idea where Bruce was or how to find him. Days went by and Henry did not see a clue to help him find Bruce. One day he ran across an old timer that was on his way from one town to another. They stopped and made a pot of coffee and discussed things like the weather and when the snow storm might hit. As they were talking the old timer ask Henry how long it had been since he had stopped at the old grocery to get some supplies? Well, Henry said, about 4 days or so ago. The old timers goes on and wants to know if Henry knew about the terrible thing that happened to the old store and its owners? Henry told him no, I haven’t heard a thing. Well let me tell you something, I have heard of massacres before like back when they use to have Indian raids, but nothing like this was ever done. The old timer went on to tell him that there wasn’t one board left on top of the other on the house or the barn. Everything was destroyed. They found the owner and it looked like a big grizzly had come along and tore him to pieces. They looked for days, but never found a sign of the daughter, she is still missing. They don’t know if she ran off or had been kidnapped. Either way, she is gone. Someone told the town people that they saw a gargoyle leaving as they came up. Wonder what he was doing there? Henry was shocked. He wondered what could have happened to those poor folks. After a little while the old timer moved on and Henry began to think about what he thought might have happened. Bruce must have been very mad when he left. He could have gone and got some help and gone back. What a terrible thing to have done to that old man and his daughter. But he just couldn’t stop thinking about the gargoyle skull and skins that he had seen in that old barn. Really, how could he blame Bruce. That had to be some of his family in there. What was really going on? Were they killing gargoyles and selling their hides? Henry was sure that the people of that old town would be after whoever did that. You can’t just let that kind of thing go on, someone has to answer for this crime. He had to find Bruce for sure now. He needed to let him know what was going on and to see if he could help the gargoyles. But first he needed to go back to the old barn and look around. Maybe the town people didn’t know to look for gargoyle bodies. They might have been too busy looking for the old man and his daughter. Chapter 9 by Bumpy Thermos

)BOEMF XJUI $BSF *OJUJBUJWF Handle with Care is an initiative aimed at helping children succeed in school by alerting school staff with a simple notice when a student experiences a traumatic event involving law enforcement.
Often children involved in trauma act out because they do not know how to handle the ordeal. This can range from not participating in class, to exhibiting anger or even physical pain like a headache or stomach ache.
Officers at the scene of the event are trained to identify the children present, find out what school they attend and send the school a confidential email that simply says, Handle [child’s name] with Care.
Many of these children have been exposed to criminal behavior, violence, loss of parents to arrest and incarceration, abuse and neglect as well as other trauma from all they have experienced.
The memo will not provide any other details in order to protect the family’s privacy.
Regardless of the source of trauma, the common thread is the school. Research shows that trauma can undermine a child’s ability to learn, form relationships, and function appropriately in the classroom. It often leads to school failure, truancy, suspension or expulsion, dropping out completely, or involvement in the juvenile justice system.
Handle with Care notices are provided to school principals, nurses, guidance counselors/ social workers, School Resource Officers (SROs), and teachers on a need-to-know basis.
Through the cooperative relationship with the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department, the Arcadia Police Department, and The School District of DeSoto, huge strides have been made to assist children exposed to violence by improving communication and collaboration between law enforcement and the schools.
