The money raised will go toward building the $2.9 million Youth Learning and Assessment Center on Crosswinds' campus in the 1400 block of Dixon Boulevard, Cocoa. The center will offer young people opportunities in spite of their past and current challenges," Lokay said. "Our mission is to create opportunities for young people, and that" what the centerisgoingtodo." The center will offer assessments for at-risk young people and their families and provide a number of services, such as counseling, life skills, tutoring and vocational skills training. "One of the biggest things we've found, and what prompted our building the Learning Center (is that) a lot of our kids have real serious academic issues," Lokay said.

Crosswinds has been helping youth in crisis since 1974, when the murder of several runaway teens prompted community leaders and volunteers to form an emergency youth shelter. Today, the youth shelter is still one of its biggest programs, but the nonprofit agency has extended far beyond it. In 2005 and 2006 Crosswinds saw 3,847 young people, and the staff hopes the center will open the way to helping even more in the future. led by instructor Wanda Bower, a mental health counselor.

Because of its strategic location, Fort Ann was established nearby during the Second Seminole War in 1838, to protect the military supplies being carried from the la-goontotheriver. John Stiner, resource management specialist for the National Park Service, said, "A lot of fascinating history has occurred in the small area of land between Mosquito Lagoon.

BY RAY OSBORNE FOR FLORIDA TODAY CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE A historic marker has been erected near the Haulover Canal explaining the significant role the canal played in the early-day development of Brevard County. A dedication ceremony was held Dec. 6 at the north Merritt Island site, which now is part of the seashore lands managed by the National Park Service. The canal links the inland waterway system, connecting the Mosquito Lagoon to the Indian River at the narrowest part of Merritt Island.

In 1884 the old canal was abandoned for a newer canal, nearby where this our the park resources with the that we're building more houses, it's that we're building more ami-lies."

Everybody here on the staff invests far more than you can imagine.
