Three juveniles robbed the Sunset Mart convenience store at the corner of South Adams Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Dec. 9 at gunpoint.

One of the juveniles was arrested shortly after the robbery, while the others were turned over to the Quincy Police Department by their parents Dec. 10.

Quincy Police Chief Furman Richardson said when the juvenile was apprehended shortly after the robbery, he was still carrying the money taken from the store.

George Russ, a mentor with the Department of Juvenile Justice, said the three almost ran into him.

Do you recall the outrage of the proposed coal plant for Taylor County several years ago? Much of the medical community and many Tallahasseans were outraged about the deadly health impacts and the global warming that would have resulted from its construction.

The plant was fortunately not constructed, but now Leon County residents face  another health risk  from the biomass plants proposed for nearby Gretna and other counties in North Florida and South Georgia.

After temperatures dipped into the low 20s and the wind chill made it feel like the teens, concerns about the homeless tugged at the heart strings of many people. For Lt. Jim Corder of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office, the tugging turned into action.

Corder said after he read in a regional newspaper that the Tallahassee shelter was at capacity and people were going to be turned away, he called Sheriff Morris Young and suggested using part of the sheriff's office on the ground floor as a temporary shelter.
