Board Meeting and Location Info
Posted on November 15th, 2010 by Thomas Kennedy
Hi Friends,
I can not believe that the day is almost here. Tomorrow (Tuesday) November 16th at 4:00pm I will be taking the oath of office to serve as a school board member of Citrus County for the next four years. I ask for your prayers and thoughts as I take on this responsibility.
If you are planning on attending and need directions, the Citrus County School Board meets at the District Office in the Board Chambers located at 1007 W. Main Street, Inverness, Florida 34450. This is the two story build next to WTI and across from Sweetbay’s in Inverness.
Thank you again for all your support!
Thomas

ORLANDO – Many came in search of gold. But for the three musketeers from Citrus County who call themselves Pirates, this was not about the final destination, or a medal around their necks.
Instead, for Malachi Oakes, Ramon Moreno and Lorne Rodriguez, theirs was the kind of triumph of which Arthur Ashe referred when he said “success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”
And Friday saw the successful culmination of that journey, which they embarked on four years ago. For it was then that the trio entered the friendly confines of Crystal River High School as newbie freshmen, still searching for their place in life. On that first day none of them really knew each other very well. Oakes was the only real swimmer in the bunch. As for Rodriguez and Moreno, they were just victims of peer pressure from their mutual friend Masumi Palhof.

Students, teachers, veterans and family members crowded into Inverness Primary School’s cafetorium Wednesday afternoon for the veterans appreciation program — a 16-year tradition started by first-grade teacher Sandy Cross and the late Becky O’Connell, a veteran who also taught at the school. She died earlier this year after battling cancer.

Lecanto's Jake Tamposi, above, and Crystal River's Malachi Oakes competed against each other in the freestyle at the Terra Vista Aquatic Center earlier this season. They'll both be representing their respective school's at the state swim meets in Orlando this week. Tamposi enters as the regional champ in the 100 breast and Oakes will swim the 100 and 200 free.
Crystal River, a Lady Pirate diver and a lone ranger from Lecanto to follow in their footsteps.
The county will be represented strongest by Crystal River’s Malachi Oakes and Lecanto’s Jake Tamposi, who made rewriting the history books almost a daily occurrence this fall.

Pirates’ school records fall at regional meet
By John Coscia – ChronicleOnline
TALLAHASSEE – The records were falling – and so were the temperatures – on Thursday night at the Class 1A-1 regional swim meet at the Morcom Aquatic Center in Tallahassee on Thursday.
Not only were the Crystal River Pirates well represented with 16 swimmers in 24 individual events but six of the school’s relay teams also competed at the regional meet.
here were several stories worthy of note and the one certainly taking top billing was Malachi Oakes who broke two school records in the 100 and 200 yard freestyles, with fourth and sixth place finishes, respectively.
