THOUSANDS ATTEND
‘MARCH FOR OUR

An estimated 3,000 people participated in Melbourne’s own March For
Our Lives, an anti-gun protest inspired by the simultaneous national
march in Washington, D.C. Saturday organized by survivors of the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland. The event featured
speakers, sign-waving and petition-signing, plus voter registration by the
Brevard Democrats. Marchers lined up at noon at the boat ramps on the
east end of the Eau Gallie Causeway and marched over to the west end
of the causeway and back. Protesters want a ban on assault weapons,
increased school safety and attention to mental health issues, but they
spoke out in opposition to arming teachers to protect students. 

“Matt Reed – Brevard news” because of

he gained some notoriety as a former

lost their you-know-what over this post
about what they’re not supposed to be

to rebuild trust with parents and stu-

Ocean Breeze Elementary parents two
weeks ago found out about a student
with a “kill list” from a very informative
and transparent press release from In-
dian Harbour Beach Police Chief David
Butler – not from the vague, scripted
robo-call some parents received from
Principal Laurie Hering.

On top of that, last week in the
headlines were one Baker Act and six
suspensions at Stone Middle School

Tobia said Golf Brevard should be

Tom Becker of Indialantic, chairman of
Golf Brevard’s steering committee, said
Golf Brevard needs to incorporate as a
nonprofit group and hire a manager.
That can’t be done in a month, he said.
The commission’s vote directed

the county should loan Golf Brevard to

nance and potential losses.
 Voted 4-1 on Commissioner Jim
Barfield’s motion to approve a Letter of
Intent with Sonia Bosinger, an attorney
representing The Savannahs at Sykes
Creek Homeowners’ Association. Tobia
dissented.
That deal calls for the course to revert
to the association’s ownership and the
commission to create a community-
development district. The district would
lease the course from the association for
25 years. The county would then pay the
district $350,000 to cover deferred main-
tenance, plus a second $350,000 a year
later. The county would also provide a
$1.2 million line of credit to cover opera-
tions and capital improvements, to be
repaid over 15 years at 2.75 percent.
“And we agree not to sell for (at least)
10 years or until the line of credit is re-
paid in full,” Bosinger said.
But Tobia said that would leave the
county paying the course’s expenses
again while courts deal with an injunc-
tion the association would file. 

ploys similar equipment at its biodefense research

But Zilinskas and Mauger say the Russian expan-
sion invites a higher level of scrutiny in light of the ex-
plicit calls by Russian leaders for work on novel kinds
of weapons, including “genetic” ones.

After Putin’s essay in 2012, several senior military
officials, including the defense minister at the time,
Anatoly Serdyukov, publicly endorsed Putin’s appeal
for new kinds of weapons and promised to start build-
ing them, the researchers note. Serdyukov specifically
pledged to incorporate “genetic” research in creating
Russia’s next-generation arsenals.

“We noted the numerous high-level calls for the
development of biotechnology-based weapons in
Russia, without further specification,” Zilinskas and
Mauger write. At minimum, the vagueness of such
statements potentially opens the door for any military
official or “ambitious scientist” to lobby for a chance
to develop a new kind of weapon – with the implicit
blessing of top Russian officials, they write.

“When taken in conjunction with the [military’s]
apparent support for the development of ‘genetic’
weapons, these statements erode normative barri-
ers toward biological weapons in Russia,” the au-
thors say. 
