SEMINOLE - An elderly female driver lost control of her vehicle the morning of May 16, causing it to careen through in the intersection of Park and Seminole boulevards.

The vehicle collided with another vehicle as it crossed through the intersection, then struck a light pole and two palm trees before ending up in the CVS parking lot, according to Brad Dykens, public education officer with Seminole Fire Rescue.

Seminole Fire Rescue paramedics found the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle to be unresponsive with what appeared to be significant injuries. The patient was quickly declared a trauma alert, extricated from the vehicle and flown to Bayfront Medical Center by Bayflight.

SEMINOLE - City Manager Frank Edmunds presented the Seminole City Council with a list of potential seven-year goals at the May 14 workshop that immediately followed its regular meeting.

Edmunds compiled the list of 10 goals based on the councilors’ individual goals discussed at the annual workshop session held April 20.

The goals are to be completed over a seven-year time period from 2013 through 2019 and coincide with the timing of Penny for Pinellas, a 1 percent sales tax dedicated to funding capital improvement projects in Pinellas County. Edmunds said a conservative estimate of funds available to Seminole for projects during this timeframe is around $3.5 million. In addition to Penny for Pinellas, he said, some projects also can be funded by grants, year-end fund balances and money raised by civic groups.

School News
SEMINOLE - Walter Weller, principal of Seminole High School, will leave the public school system for the private school sector at the end of the school year.

The announcement came on May 15 during the morning announcements at SHS, when he publically acknowledged his departure to the school’s students and faculty.

After seven years with the Warhawks, Weller will join the Golden Eagles at Indian Rocks Christian School as the new superintendent, a decision he’d made three months ago, but waited to share.

In addition to Weller leaving, Sam Roper will step down as head football coach after 28 seasons and band director Daniel Wood will leave to pursue his master’s degree after 14 years with the music program.
