• Tallahassee is the only municipality

in Leon County, and about 64 percent of county residents live within the city limits. Voters have gone to the polls four times (1971, 1973, 1976, 1992) to vote on consolidating the city and county into one entity, but it was rejected each time.

* From the Southeast Regional Climate Center, 30-year average for 1981–2010

LET IT SNOW? Tallahassee can be considerably colder than Central and South Florida, with temperatures dipping below freezing on some winter nights. But don’t break out the skis and snow boots just yet. According to the local office of the National Weather Service, Tallahassee has had measurable snowfall only eight times since 1891. However, Tallahassee saw its first measurable snowfall in almost three decades in January 2018, when .1 inches was recorded. It was the first snow in Tallahassee since December 1989, when 1 inch fell, and it’s the first recorded measurable snowfall in the Capital City during the month of January since April 1885. The most snow Tallahassee has seen, 2.8 inches, fell in February 1958.

STATE OF FLORIDA

Florida’s state government is overseen by the governor and three elected members of the state Cabinet — the Agriculture Commissioner, Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer. Each resident is also represented by a member of the Florida House of Representatives and a member of the Florida Senate. The House has 120 members, the Senate has 40. Leon County is represented by House Districts 7, 8 and 9 and by Senate District 3. To determine which House and Senate districts you live in, you can contact the Leon County Supervisor of Elections. You can also use your zip code on the legislative websites (flsenate.gov or myfloridahouse.gov) to determine your representative and senator. Representatives are elected every two years. Senators are elected every four years.

LEON COUNTY

Leon County is guided by an elected, seven-member Board of County Commissioners. Five board members are elected to serve specific commission districts, and two members are elected at-large. Each year, members of the board select a chairman and vice chairman from within the group. The Leon County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the board to oversee all functions, directives and policies. Other Leon County elected officials include county and circuit court judges, the State Attorney, Public Defender, the School Board, Superintendent and five constitutional officers: Clerk of the Court, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector.

CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

The Mayor and four-member City Commission are the governing body of the city, and all serve four-year terms. All of the seats are nonpartisan and there are no districts: All members are elected citywide. The terms of office are staggered, with elections for two commission seats held every other year. The mayor, who is elected to that particular position, has a vote at commission meetings but no veto power. Tallahassee’s executive staff — the City Manager, Attorney, Auditor and Treasurer/ Clerk — are appointed to their positions by the city commission. A wealth of information about the Tallahassee City Commission, as well as city operations and services can be found at the talgov.com website.

WELCOME to Tallahassee

A Guide to Becoming a Local By Pete Reinwald

It’s true: You haven’t moved to Postcard Florida. That’s the domain of Miami, Orlando and Daytona Beach. You’ve moved to a place where the sun shines brightly on nature, culture, education and recreation. Welcome to Tallahassee, Florida’s capital. We invite you to use this newcomer guide as a resource as you get in touch with this special place that you now call home. Use it to set up utilities, find doctors, locate services and establish contacts in Tallahassee and Leon County. You’ll soon see why the Sunshine State offers no other place like Tallahassee. No other place from Pensacola to Jacksonville to Key West embraces its arts, neighbors, nightlife, bike paths, history, college sports and canopy roads in such a way. No other place serves as a simultaneous setting for government, higher education and innovation. No other place offers this many hills, trees, trails and pets and this many ponds, parks, concerts and events — with access to beaches and with the assurance of a wave and a smile. Take it from the Leon County Division of Tourism, which touts Tallahassee as “a place where college town meets cultural center, politics meets performing arts and history meets nature, a place where the vibrancy of what to do is matched only by the city’s inviting hospitality.” Tallahassee features a downtown that’s getting livelier by the month. A Downtown

Tallahassee Newcomer 2020–21

MarketPlace makes Saturdays come alive with food, artists and music. Top-notch restaurants make it more and more a nightly destination, and development projects signal even more tasty activity. Explore just outside downtown, and you’ll find two heralded institutions of higher learning that, with the Capitol, give Tallahassee its backbone: Florida State University and Florida A&M University, the latter of which rests atop the highest of Tallahassee’s seven hills. You’ll find Cascades Park, a social center and city treasure that features an amphitheater, play areas, bike paths and fabulous views of the Capitol. You’ll find CollegeTown fired up before and after kickoff and Midtown bustling after dark. Go too far outside the city limits — actually, you don’t need to go far at all — and you’ll lose cell phone service and encounter friendly people who want no part of the hustle and bustle of Florida’s seventhlargest city. Many of those who live here, meanwhile, never want to leave. Here’s why: Parks: Places to stroll, hike, bike, look and connect with the outdoors abound. From Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park to Tom Brown Park to the J.R. Alford Greenway and numerous state and city parks in between, you’ll experience the Capital City’s colorful, recreational and preservationist spirit. Miles and miles of trails in scenic settings provide inspiration to get outside and stay outside.

elcome, newcomer. You’re in for a treat. You’ve moved to a community that offers everything you’d want in a city, at a pace that makes you feel as though you’ve finally gotten away from it all.

Canoeing

Trail Running

Surroundings: In less than an hour, you can find yourself at Wakulla Springs State Park, a sanctuary of trails and wildlife, or at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, a coastal wilderness known for its fall destination of monarch butterflies and annual festival. And did we say beaches? In about two hours, you can find yourself on 30A and its pristine aqua coastline. We don’t call it the Emerald Coast for nothing. Nightlife: In addition to a growing collection of quality restaurants, the Capital City boasts plenty of bars, music and entertainment. Check out the Bradfordville Blues Club, which touts itself as an experience like no other. The club promotes even getting there as an experience: “Just follow the tiki torches down the dirt roads till you reach the juke joint under the stars.” Neighborhoods: Every section of the city features a distinct feel, spirit and flavor. Historic neighborhoods such as Lafayette Park, Myers Park, Frenchtown and Indianhead Acres offer quick access to downtown, shopping and eateries. The Killearn area continues to sprawl northward toward Georgia as more people move in. And the planned community of SouthWood has emerged as another favorite for newcomers.

Miles and miles of trails in scenic settings provide inspiration to get outside and stay outside. Events: The city’s premier events include Springtime Tallahassee, the Word of South festival of literature and music, the Tallahassee Film Festival, the Shakespeare in the Park festival and the LeMoyne Chain of Parks Art Festival. No wonder Cascades Park, the centerpiece for virtually every big event in town, stays so busy. Museums: The Florida Historic Capitol Museum, in the domed 1845 building that remains in front of the Capital City’s 22-story symbol, offers three floors of exhibits and free admission but accepts donations for its educational programs. While you’re there, check out the new capitol and its 22nd-floor observatory, which offers panoramic views of green as far as you can see. Count on regular visits to the Tallahassee Museum, an outdoor destination that promotes knowledge and understanding of the region’s cultural history and natural environment. Other places to visit include Mission San Luis, which transports visitors to the year 1703; the Museum of Florida History; the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee; the Grove Museum; and Goodwood Museum & Gardens. Tallahassee is yours to explore — so get started. Enjoy.

Your Own Utilities provides solid waste services for all residents who live inside the city limits. Solid waste crews collect garbage and recycling once a week at the curb; yard waste and bulky items are collected every other week. Schedules and information on solid waste services are mailed to customers once a year. Charges for solid waste service are included on the customer’s monthly utility bill. Customers can view their pickup schedule or report a missed pickup by visiting Talgov.com/ YOU or by calling Utility Customer Service at (850) 891-4YOU (4968).

HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE

Rolling garbage containers are provided to residents for household garbage disposal. If utility customers don’t have a garbage or recycling container at their home, they can call 891-4YOU (4968) to request one to be delivered. Garbage is collected once a week at curbside. Customers’ containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day and should be at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and away from low-hanging lines. Garbage containers must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service. Non-hazardous and non-recyclable materials should be placed in garbage bags before being put in the container.

Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their garbage container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge. Back-door garbage and recycling premium services may also be purchased in accordance with the established rates. To apply for either service or for more information, call 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

RECYCLING The City of Tallahassee makes recycling convenient. No sorting is needed, and all plastic, glass, metal and cardboard can be placed together in the recycling container. Recyclable items include plastic containers holding less than 3 gallons, metal cans, glass bottles, newspapers, magazines and cardboard. Plastic bags and Styrofoam are not recyclable. To avoid bugs and odors, cans, bottles and jars should be rinsed out. Crushing containers and breaking down boxes will increase the amount of material that will fit into the recycling container. For a complete list of recyclable items and a list of where to recycle items that don’t go into the container, visit Talgov.com/YOU. Recycling is scheduled for pickup every week on the same day as garbage pickup. Containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day. The container should be placed so that it is at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and not located under low-hanging lines. The recycling container must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service to prevent a safety hazard. Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge. To apply for this service, call (850) 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

YARD WASTE Yard waste is scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Yard waste includes grass clippings, pine straw, leaves, twigs, small limbs and shrub trimmings. If placed at the curb off schedule, it will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee. Items should not be loose; they should be in heavy-duty plastic or paper trash bags or cardboard boxes. Limbs and trimmings that can’t be bagged should be stacked in piles no higher than 4 feet. The maximum size of limbs is 6 feet long and

4 inches in diameter. Larger items should be properly disposed of by the customer or scheduled for a special pickup by calling 891-4YOU (4968). If a special pickup is requested, the fee for collection will be added to the customer’s utility bill.

BULKY ITEMS Bulky items are scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Bulky items are those that are too large to fit in the garbage barrel and are not yard waste. These include furniture, mattresses, bicycles, appliances, swing sets, lawn furniture, barbecue grills and plastic pools. If placed at the curb off schedule, they will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee. Hazardous waste items that cannot be collected as bulky items include car batteries, paint cans still containing paint, tires and electronics. Other hazardous waste can be taken to the Leon County landfill’s household hazardous waste center. Electronics can be donated to Goodwill or placed at the curb for pickup on Thursday of the customer’s scheduled week.

To vote in an upcoming election, you must be registered to vote 29 days prior to the day of the election. Changes in political party must also be updated before the registration deadline. Florida is a closed primary state, meaning only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for their respective party’s candidates in a partisan primary election. Those registered as independents or with minor parties are eligible to vote in primaries that have nonpartisan elections. A universal primary may occur when the only candidates for a public office are of the same political party. In that case, all registered voters in the candidates’ race may participate, regardless of party affiliation. In general elections, all voters may vote for any candidate or question on their precinct-specific ballot. Florida voter applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections’ office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway. You may also register to vote at all public schools, libraries, driver’s license offices, public assistance agencies, as well as numerous banks and businesses around the capital city.

There are three ways to vote: by mail with an absentee ballot, early voting prior to the election and on Election Day at the 165 polling locations in Leon County. Absentee ballots are mailed at least 45 days prior to an election and can be tracked by the voter on the Supervisor of Elections website. You can visit the website and with a few keystrokes, know your voter registration status in Leon County. The site offers complete information about upcoming elections, precincts, elected officials and more. Or, call (850) 606-VOTE (8683) for more information.

Technology Advances Patient Care at Tallahassee’s Hospitals Expansion in locations and patient offerings are on the horizon By Audrey Post

round the world, technology is changing how health care is delivered. In Tallahassee, Capital Regional Medical Center and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare are using cuttingedge techniques to improve patient care in a variety of ways. One of the biggest changes is heightened convenience, with more options for patients to receive care without having to travel to the hospital. Satellite medical facilities have been game-changers for both patients and health care providers, and telemedicine, while not appropriate in every instance, can help health care providers expand geographical reach to treat many illnesses and injuries. What follows is an overview of what each of Tallahassee’s hospitals is doing to take advantage of technological advances to improve patient care and outcomes.

Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2020-21

Capital Regional Medical Center expanding its footprint Capital Regional Medical Center opened two new freestanding emergency rooms in late 2019 and in 2020. The SouthWood ER, at the intersection of Capital Circle SE and Orange Avenue, offers emergency medical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is staffed with board-certified emergency physicians and emergency nurses, CEO Alan Keesee said. In October of 2020, the Lake Jackson ER opened on North Monroe Street. “Northwest Tallahassee is growing quickly,” he said. “We are bringing resources and access to quality medical services to support this growth.” Together, the two new ERs represent a $30 million investment and 62 new full-time jobs, including nine emergency physicians being recruited to Tallahassee.

This is in addition to the freestanding emergency room it has operated in Gadsden County for the past 10 years. Capital Regional also offers primary care and specialty services in Crawfordville and Quincy. Primary care services are available in Chattahoochee. Earlier this year, CRMC opened a clinic in Thomasville, Georgia. There, cardiology services are available one day a week; additional services were added at the end of 2019. Other new offers include an outpatient burn center, which Keesee said gives Florida Panhandle residents within the Big Bend access to burn care, and a behavioral health clinic near Florida State University, open to all university students in Tallahassee. All of these services include exciting technological advances in conjunction with telemedicine and telestroke services.

MEDICAL Overview

“ It’s much like

Facetiming or Skyping with family and friends, but doctor and patient are together in a virtual room via computer.”

Lauren Faison-Clark Telestroke services are measured by “Door to Needle” time, that is, the time that elapses from when the patient enters the ER to when health care providers are able to administer clot-busting medication. Keesee said CRMC is well below the 60-minute standard, which has allowed it to meet this “golden threshold” for patient survival and recovery from a severe stroke. Robotics are also an exciting development in health care. Keesee said Capital Regional offers robotic-assisted knee replacement and spinal surgeries, which allows for more precise alignment, resulting in less pain and faster recovery for patients. Tallahassee Community Hospital opened in 1979, and in 2003 was replaced by the larger Capital Regional Medical Center. After more than 40 years of providing health care services, the focus now turns to anticipating the area’s medical needs for the next 20 or 30 years. Keesee summed it up nicely: “CRMC is committed to growing alongside the health care industry in Tallahassee.” TMH expanding its reach via telemedicine Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare serves a 17-county region in North Florida and South Georgia, and through its network of outpatient specialty practices, primary care physicians and small hospitals in rural areas, it is bringing big-city health care to small communities. “It’s much like Facetiming or Skyping with family and friends, but doctor and patient are together in a virtual room via computer,” said Lauren Faison-Clark,

administrator over Regional Development, Population Health and Telemedicine. The instruments are mind-blowing. Bluetooth stethoscopes allow a doctor who is miles away to hear the heartbeat of a patient, as though they were in the same room. Digital cameras allow doctors to see into the ears and down the throats of patients from great distances. There are plenty of advantages to having a doctor diagnose through telemedicine, particularly for patients in rural areas. So many times, Faison-Clark said, rural hospitals need to send a patient to Tallahassee by ambulance to see a cardiologist or other specialist, when the expense of the ambulance ride sometimes can be avoided using telemedicine. TMH’s freestanding emergency room, near I-10 and Thomasville Road, is affiliated with Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. “Our board-certified ER docs can log into the computer and get an immediate consultation with a double board-certified physician at Wolfson,” she said, meaning a doctor board-certified in both emergency medicine and pediatrics.

TMH’s hybrid clinic at The Kearney Center, Tallahassee’s homeless shelter and the hub for services for the homeless and those on the verge of homelessness in the eight-county Big Bend region, is an example of various sectors of the community working together to solve a societal problem. Clients who don’t feel well or are experiencing a health crisis can visit the clinic, and the nurse or medical assistant will ring up a doctor. Most times, the client can be diagnosed and treated without a trip across town to a hospital. But perhaps more importantly, people who have been without adequate health care for a long time get an opportunity to regain good health. Bobbie Carrin is so grateful for the care she has received that she agreed to tell her story in a promotional video. A thyroid cancer survivor who also has a heart condition, Carrin lost access to her medications for three years. Depression followed, and she retreated further into herself. TMH and The Kearney Center got her back on her medication. “I’m just feeling so much better,” she said. “I have energy. And I have hope again.”

MEDICAL Overview

How to Recognize a Stroke Because Every Second Counts By Janice Dunlap

Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2020-21

Many times symptoms occur on one side of the body. Remember the signs of a stroke with the acronym FAST: + FACE: check for a new facial droop. + ARMS: raise both arms and check for a new drift or weakness. + SPEECH: repeat a simple sentence and listen for new slurring or inability to say the words. + TIME: if any of the above are present, call 911immediately for medical attention. Unfortunately, the typical stroke victim will start to experience some numbness or tingling on one side of the body and dismiss the symptoms. Oftentimes the person having a stroke will lay down to get some rest, and wake up to worsening symptoms. In these instances, they may have missed the window to receive the clot-busting drug called TPA. Intravenous TPA is available for patients that qualify, but it has to be administered within 4 Â˝ hours of a stroke. Not everyone is eligible for the drug, but it is the only intravenous treatment method that can help reverse the affects of a stroke. It is crucial that you get to the hospital as soon as possible after a stroke. Early medical treatment is key to minimizing the disabilities caused by a stroke. If you experience any signs or symptoms of a stroke call 911 or go to the hospital immediately. It is important to understand

that you should not try to schedule an appointment with the doctor, but instead go directly to the emergency room. When a stroke victim arrives at the emergency room they can expect to receive prompt intervention with a CAT scan of the head, lab work and an evaluation from a physician. If a stroke has occurred, the patient can expect to remain in the hospital for three to five days, or longer, if the stroke is severe. Symptoms of a stroke include: + Numbness or weakness of the face, arms or leg (usually on one side of the body) + Confusion or trouble understanding + Trouble seeing + Dizziness, trouble walking or loss of balance and coordination + Severe headache These symptoms will appear suddenly, so it is important to act fast if you or someone you know has experienced any of them. When it comes to recovering from a stroke, every second counts. Janice Dunlap is an advanced practice registered nurse with White-Wilson NeuroScience Center.

he fact is strokes are a common occurrence in everyday life and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Although they are common among the elderly, strokes can happen to anyone. Recognizing when a stroke occurs and acting quickly is key to lessening the disability from a stroke. Now, consider that 80 percent of the time a stroke can be prevented by controlling common risk factors. Taking medications prescribed for things like high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, can help reduce your chance of having a stroke. Smoking, on the other hand, is a lifestyle choice that can increase your risk of a stroke. Although we can control some of the risk factors to help reduce the chance of a stroke, it is difficult to know when one will occur and who will be affected. I had a patient who was in his 40s that had a sudden onset of numbness and tingling in his right hand as well as difficulty speaking. His only risk factor was high blood pressure, and even that was not significant. He had no family history of stroke and there were no other risk factors present â&#x20AC;Ś yet he suffered from a stroke. The patient called 911 immediately and even though he could not speak, emergency services were dispatched to his home. He was at the hospital 45 minutes after the onset of symptoms and had a 99 percent recovery. His life is back to the way it was before, and that is because he acted quickly.

The Importance of an Exercise Routine for All Ages Finding a way to become and stay active is crucial not just for the elderly but also for children By Rebecca Padgett

t is widely known that people from the ages of 18 to 55 should be engaging in some form of fitness. For the outlying age ranges, physical fitness is not as readily addressed, yet it is just as necessary that children and senior citizens develop health routines. Fitness for kids and seniors might differ in impact, intensity and length, but the physical and mental benefits are no less important. Being stagnant is never the optimal choice for any age group; whether the movements are large or small, it’s key to keep moving or get moving. With a surge in technology, more children than ever are exposed to screen time and less physical activity. It may seem as if children don’t need as much physical activity as an adult,

but that’s a false assumption as properly instilled health habits can make a lasting impact throughout life. “Just like adults, kids need an outlet as well, and exercise is one of best ways for kids to decompress,” said Melissa Johnson, owner of Kaos Group Training. “If physical activity can be taught to be a part of one’s life from a young age then, hopefully, as they get older they will continue to use exercise to relieve stress, stay strong and healthy and lead a positive lifestyle.” Irene Quevedo, director of operations at American Fitness, agrees on the importance of beginning fitness routines early on, stating that kids learn a great deal from the habits and activities of their families. Parents are vital in encouraging and promoting fitness activities for their children. Kaos Group Training, American

Fitness and many fitness facilities throughout Tallahassee provide classes for families, teens and children. A noticeable difference between child and adult fitness is that, for a child, the activity needs to be engaging — otherwise they may not show interest and may not understand its influence on their life. “We need to make physical activity fun,” said Quevedo. “Exposing kids and teens to different sports and activities will keep them active and allow them to have a say in which one they prefer. By becoming physically active in an activity they enjoy, kids and teens can reduce the risk of stress, depression and anxiety.” Through workouts, all ages can gain strength, improve cardiovascular health, improve balance and contribute to overall physicality.

Those same physical activities are mentally beneficial by elevating endorphins, ultimately boosting happiness and decreasing signs of stress and depression. “No matter what age or what capabilities someone has, they deserve to enjoy a high quality of life,” said Kim Bibeau, owner of Sweat Therapy Fitness. “As we live longer it is absolutely imperative that we remain active to ensure we have a high quality of life. Research proves that exercise does this time and time again, because the physical and emotional benefits of an active lifestyle are undisputed. It helps with attitudes, depression and cognitive sleep. People feel better, and they are happier.” Sweat Therapy Fitness offers a variety of senior adult fitness classes including:

Forever Fit, a total body workout focusing on strength, core and cardiovascular activities; Boxing Balance and Core, which includes a boxing component to assist with strength, cardio and cognition; and Rock Steady Boxing, a course designed specifically for those with Parkinson’s Disease. Premier Health & Fitness Center hosts a Brain, Body, Balance class focusing on fall prevention by addressing skills that decline with aging and contribute to injuries from falling. Research shows that honing in on strength, balance, reflexes, aerobic activity and cognition can reduce the rates of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Alongside the physical benefits, it’s a way to make connections and engage socially.

“We have a lot of power over how we age,” said Kathy Gilbert, fitness instructor at Premier Health & Fitness Center. “Our physical and cognitive health is significantly affected by our level of physical activity. Keeping active and maintaining your strength slows down the declines that occur with aging. “I see many 90-plus-year-olds leading happy, fulfilling, independent lives, and these are the people who have stayed active their whole lives,” she adds. “We need to encourage our aging parents, friends and neighbors to stay active.” The research is undisputed, the benefits are vast and the resources are growing, proving it’s never too early or too late to engage in a fitness routine that benefits mind, body and soul.

Local public schools are under the direction of the Leon County School Board. A wealth of information about local public education and individual schools is available on the district’s website at leon.k12.fl.us. The site includes information on registering new students, as well as an easy-to-use page to determine what school zones you live in. Parents registering a student for the first time should be prepared to provide proof of residence (such as a utility bill), the child’s birth certificate and other identification, proof of immunizations and, if appropriate, transcript information from the child’s previous school. For more information, call (850) 487-7100. You can learn what bus routes serve your area by accessing the school system’s Transportation Department web page.

REGISTRATION Parents with children who will be entering kindergarten or who will be attending public school in Leon County for the first time are encouraged to register their kids during pre-registration, which schools generally hold in late April and/or early May for the next school year. Schools continue taking registrations throughout the summer for new families moving to Tallahassee. In all cases, parents should contact their zoned schools to get the registration process started as soon as possible after securing their residence. Students who will be entering kindergarten must have certain immunization documentation on file at school before the start of the new school year. Students entering seventh grade need documentation of a Td/Tdap booster vaccine. The Leon County Health Department provides routine back-to-school immunizations Monday through Friday by appointment or

at special extended-hour immunization clinics. All children receiving immunizations through the Health Department must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

PUBLIC SCHOOL OPTIONS Leon County also offers a variety of school choice options to provide as many options as possible to maximize student learning. There are a variety of special programs available, such as International Baccalaureate, science, technology and fine arts. Families apply by March 1 of each school year for controlled choice that includes magnet schools and other special programs. Contact the School Choice Office at (850) 487-7546 for more information about attendance zones and choice options. CHARTER SCHOOL OPTIONS Charter Schools are public schools contracting with the district to provide services to students. Leon County has five charter schools. Each offers a unique opportunity and setting. Families can obtain more information about each school by visiting their websites or calling the schools directly. HOME SCHOOLING Families who choose not to send their students to a public school are responsible for all aspects of the education of their students. However, there are a few requirements families must satisfy in order to home educate their children. For example, students must be evaluated annually. The District’s Home School Office can assist families who choose this option. Their number is (850) 561-8375. PRIVATE SCHOOLS Tallahassee is also served by several private schools, which offer education opportunities from preschool through high school.

THE LEROY COLLINS LEON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM consists of a main library in downtown Tallahassee as well as six branches and a traveling bookmobile.

THINGS to do

Landmarks Tallahassee and Leon County are home of the Red Hills, former planta‑ tions, canopy roads, national historic sites, state parks, national forests and historic districts. All are worthy of visits — from prehistoric Indian mounds to the Governor’s Mansion.

STATE PARKS AND HISTORICAL SITES ALFRED B. MACLAY STATE GARDENS This park — comprising 1,176 acres — was once the winter estate of talented landscaper and New York financier Alfred B. Maclay and his wife. Their home is located at the center of the ornamentally landscaped grounds featuring 200 varieties of camellias, azaleas trees and shrubs, bejewelled by decorative gates, fountains and a reflecting pool. The park is on Lake Hall, equipped for picnicking, swimming, fishing and non-motorized boating. Surrounding trails are excellent for walking, hiking and cycling. Guided tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays during the height of blooming season, Jan. 1 through April 30, and the park hosts an annual winter holiday event. Open daily.

THINGS to do

Must-See PARKS The people of Tallahassee and Leon County love their parks — from open green spaces where people gather for special occasions to forests etched with sun-dappled trails. There are scores of places, urban and rural, for getting outdoors. Here are just a few.

9 10

A.J. HENRY PARK This 72-acre gem amid Killearn’s seven northeast neighborhoods offers a playground, four picnic shelters, a large picnic pavilion, a boardwalk, trails and plenty of shade. It can be accessed from Gardenview Way or Whitney Drive East. CASCADES PARK This is the crown jewel of Tallahassee’s urban parks. Cascades is a green, spacious gathering place for pedestrians, picnickers, festivalgoers and concert fans. At the center of its rolling hills and water features is the Capital City Amphitheatre, hosting national and local bands. The park, just blocks from the Capitol, also includes a lake, monuments, a splash pad, fountains, a playground, shaded coves, multi-use trails and the Smokey Hollow Commemorative Site. ELINOR KLAPP-PHIPPS PARK Located on the east side of Lake Jackson

at 4000 N. Meridian Road, this wild, 670-acre tract is one of the largest outdoor recreation sites in Tallahassee, with room for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It also is the site of the annual Red Hills Horse Trials.

FRED GEORGE GREENWAY AND PARK In northwest Leon County are

170 acres of woodlands, knee-high grass patches, waterways and trails. Ten open acres are dedicated to multipurpose fields for Pop Warner football, regulation baseball, soccer, tennis, disc golf and a dog park.

GOVERNOR’S PARK Hidden in plain sight, Governor’s Park is off Blair Stone Road between Mahan Drive and East Park Avenue. Its gently sloping fields, scattered trees and woodsy trails make it ideal for tossing frisbees and balls to friends or pets. JACK MCLEAN JR. PARK, CENTER & POOL There are 52 acres of fun

at Jack McLean Park, at 700 Paul Russell Road. The park features a swimming pool, picnic shelters, a playground, courts for basketball, tennis and volleyball, horseshoe pits and a 24-hole disc golf course.

LAFAYETTE HERITAGE TRAIL PARK This once continuous wet prairie was parsed by a dam into three sections: Upper Lafayette, Piney Z Lake and Lower Lafayette. It is a wonderful place to fish, bike, run, walk and paddle. The park entrance is at the east end of Heritage Park Boulevard in the Piney Z Plantation subdivision.

PARK AVENUE CHAIN OF PARKS The Chain of Parks is actually a series of seven small urban parks in Tallahassee’s historic Park Avenue district. An April art festival and weekly arts and crafts and food market are held here. It’s a great place to be in the spring, when the rose bushes and azaleas are in bloom. SAN LUIS MISSION PARK Adjacent to the 17th-century museum Mission San Luis, the park features covered picnic pavilions, lots of shade trees, trails around Lake Esther and a playground. Feel free to walk your pooch here.

TOM BROWN PARK Located east of Capital Circle Southeast between Mahan Drive and Apalachee Parkway, Tom Brown Park is one of Tallahassee’s favorite outdoor playgrounds and hosts the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. It has fields for softball, baseball and soccer as well as a disc golf course, a dog park, tennis courts and lots of other open spaces.
