Reflecting on When You Were Older
Whippersnappers: The story, despite the tragedy that begins it, is pretty clean. There is no sex and minimal, if any, foul language. There is anti-war sentiment and some violence.
4 stars

It must be good if you didn't expect to finish it and ended up liking it.ReplyDelete
I definitely have to check it out. If you read so much in one sitting it must be good.ReplyDeleteReplies
It reallly is. I think you like it BB :)Delete
I've read Hyde's When I Found You - which although I didn't love, I liked it well. I found it pretty thoughtful and charming too. I would recommend that one as well. I will have to read this.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh right on. I was wondering about that one. Thank you for the heads up :)Delete
Isn't this by the author that wrote Pay it Forward? I like the potential of this book. It sounds like it will break my heart though. I'll have to add it on Goodreads.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! Even though I've never read it. :) Have you?Delete
No worries btw. It's goood and emotional but not a heart breaker.
Glad this one surprised you in a good way. I love when that happens with books. Despite the content, sounds like a comfort or feel good read.ReplyDelete
I also read a novel about 911 and didn't expect to like it either. It really stuck with me too: Artie Van Why's That Day in September. Great review!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! :)Delete
I need to look that one up.
I love it when a book I don't expect to love pulls me in like that! Yay for surprise awesomeness!ReplyDeleteReplies
Brizzzz! Hey girl :DDelete
I've missed you! *hugs*
Amen! "Yay for surprise awesomeness!"
I saw this yesterday on your Goodreads feed. I was intrigued -- still am. Widening the book genres, O la la!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yup yup ;) Thank youDelete
I haven't read anything by Hyde, but I love that you weren't expecting much out of this one and it ended up holding you captive. I love books that end up being a pleasant surprise. The story sounds really interesting! Happy to hear you enjoyed this one, Juju! :)ReplyDelete
I love it when a book unexpectedly pulls you in!ReplyDelete
Sounds like an amazing read! I'm adding it to goodreads right now!ReplyDelete
I can't believe you even picked this up with your initial thoughts, but glad you enjoyed it and some parts stayed with you. Nice surpriseReplyDelete
This sounds like such a powerful read! One I'd e afraid to start as well but ne that sounds more than worth it!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is :) Great word for it!Delete
And you're right, totally worth it.
I loved reading this review, and just wanted to tell you the following: This Wednesday and Thursday, the 20th and 22nd, the Kindle ebook edition of my novel Don't Let Me Go will be promotionally free. So that might be a good chance to try another, and it's probably a good next read for someone who enjoyed When You were Older. Just in case that's useful information.ReplyDeleteReplies
OMG how exciting.Delete
Thank you so much for letting me know.
That is totallly the one I wanted to try next.
I will definitely grab it and inform my readers.
Thank you soooooo much for stopping by.
I'm quite honored.
Sorry. Obviously meant the 20th and 21st. Duh.ReplyDelete
sounds like you really liked it!! yay!ReplyDelete
Awesome review! I love Catherine Ryan Hyde's books. I've read Pay it Forward and Jumpstart the World, and I had the same reaction. Thinking I was going to DNF, or not be that into it, and then just getting sucked into the story and the writing. I hadn't heard of this book, but it's definitely going on my TBR pile now. Thanks for putting it on my radar and for your thoughtful review!ReplyDeleteReplies
Really? Oh wow. How funny that we felt the same way. You've officially increased my interest in reading more of her books.Delete
Thank you for popping by :)
UGH! This one's about 911 -huh? You are a brave girl to read this one. I don't know if I'm ready to relive all the horror of that day. Is so unfathomably sad. Kudos for you for reading such a heart wrenching book. I'm happy you enjoyed it and it was worth reading. Someday, when I'm brave I think I'll try it.ReplyDeleteReplies
I feel ya. But I must admit, Catherine Ryan Hyde does a really good job. It was sad without being gut wrenching.Delete
I've never read anything by her, although I've heard of Pay it Forward. I have to appreciate a well-written book involving 911, because it still seems so recent (even though it has been over a decade). Thanks for the heads up!ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree. It still feels fresh. Yet she reminded me of things I had forgotten.Delete
What an adorable cover!!!ReplyDelete
I love when books surprise me like that! I have had that happen a few times and it always makes me smile :)ReplyDelete
Ooooo love books like this Juju! The ones you pick up thinking they're probably not going to work for you but you figure you'll give them a try anyway and then BAM you're 200 pages in with no idea of how you got there so quickly. WIN!ReplyDelete
I haven't read anything by this author, but I did see the film version of Pay It Forward. Moving, for sure. Sounds like Hyde writes beautiful books!ReplyDeleteReplies
I saw the film too. It was goood. I should read it. :)Delete
sounds like a winner.ReplyDelete
I have definitely heard good things about the author, but I myself haven't read any of her books. I do get the impression she writes very touching and real stories, and it seems like that is the case with this one, as well. I'll have to give her books a try sometime!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! Well said.Delete
"Touching" is a great word for her.
I'm loving this cover. And I love a book that just totally draws you in and next thing you know... it's two hours past bed-time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Me too! The one you push your bedtime for.Delete
I LOVE when that happens with a book (or a movie for that matter). You go in not expecting much but then you are swept away.ReplyDelete
SOO want to read this one. :)ReplyDelete
My first time hearing of this one but it sounds like it made quite an impression!ReplyDeleteReplies
It sure did. I can't wait to try more of this author.Delete
I'm so thrilled you loved this one! Catherine is a good friend of mine and lives just a short distance from me. Her books are incredible. Truly. Love the review! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
What? Really? How cool! I shouldn't be surprised. You're amazing so you must have amazing friends. This was my first. I think I remember you loving her work. Thank you sugar. :)Delete

Drug Courts and other Problem Solving Courts
Drug Courts and other Problem-Solving Courts use the drug court model to help address specific issues that will benefit the individual, victim, and society. The specific issues may include, but are not limited to, drug abuse, mental illness, veteran's issues, and domestic violence.
Florida started the national drug court movement in 1989 by creating the first drug court in the United States in Miami-Dade County. Other types of problem-solving courts followed in the 1990s to assist individuals with specific needs and problems that were not or could not be adequately addressed in traditional courts. Problem-solving courts use the drug court model to help address specific issues that will benefit the individual, victim, and society. The specific issues may include, but are not limited to, drug abuse, mental illness, veteran's issues, and domestic violence. Today, there are more than 1,000 problem-solving courts in the United States. There are 2,663 drug courts operating in every U.S. state and territory. For more information on drug courts, please visit the website for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals at www.nadcp.org.
Statewide Adult Drug Court EvaluationEvaluation Report Findings in Brief
Evaluation Report Summary Points
Florida Adult Felony Drug Courts Evaluation Report
May is National Drug Court Month. Each year National Drug Court Month shines a light on the collective impact of drug courts throughout the nation. The month's activities showcase drug courts, and, further, bring attention to countless lives saved, families reunited, and communities made safer through the program.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Miami-Dade County Drug Court, the first drug court in the nation. In recognition of National Drug Court Month, the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, in collaboration with the National and Florida Association of Drug Court Professionals, the Office of the State Courts Administrator, and the Miami-Dade County Drug Court, are coordinating a 25th anniversary celebration of drug courts.
The event will be held on Friday, April 11, 2014 at the Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 N.W. 1st Street, Miami, Florida 33128 from 9:00 am-11:00 am. Miami-Dade County Drug Court Judge Jeri B. Cohen will be presiding over the event, and it will be available live via the Miami.gov web portal.
There are currently 101 drug courts in Florida, with at least one in every judicial circuit. There are also eight veterans' treatment courts in Florida. Data from last year indicates that Florida's drug courts admitted almost 8,000 participants (graduating over 5,000); there were 120 babies that were born drug free from female drug court participants; well over 150 parents were reunited with their children; and almost 260 children were reunited with their parents.
Drug Court
In the years since Florida pioneered the drug court concept, numerous studies have confirmed that drug courts significantly reduce crime, provide better treatment outcomes, and produce better cost benefits than other criminal justice strategies.
The Florida Legislature has a long history of proactively addressing drug-related crime. In 1993, the Legislature provided for pretrial substance abuse education and treatment intervention programs for eligible nonviolent felony offenders.1 These pretrial intervention programs are the precursors to the many forms of drug courts that exist today in Florida. In 2001, the Legislature stated its intent that drug courts be implemented "in each judicial circuit in an effort to reduce crime and recidivism, abuse and neglect cases, and family dysfunction by breaking the cycle of addiction which is the most predominant cause of cases entering the justice system. The Legislature recognizes that the integration of judicial supervision, treatment, accountability, and sanctions greatly increases the effectiveness of substance abuse treatment."2
The drug court program team within the Office of the State Courts Administrator's, Office of Court Improvement was created to foster the development and expansion of the successful drug court concept throughout Florida. By identifying funding sources, developing training materials, providing technical assistance, creating an information exchange, and working with the legislature, the drug court team helped make the Legislatures intent to have drug courts in every judicial circuit a reality. As of January 2014, Florida has 101 drug courts operating in the felony, misdemeanor, juvenile delinquency, and family dependency divisions of the court.
In 2009, the Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability (OPPAGA) released a study on adult post-adjudicatory drug courts in Florida which showed that individuals who successfully completed post-adjudicatory drug courts were 80% less likely to go to prison than the comparison group. The study also reported to the Legislature that drug courts could save Florida more money by targeting nonviolent, prison-bound offenders. The Florida Legislature appropriated Edward J. Byrne Justice Assistance Grant stimulus funds to expand adult post-adjudicatory drug courts. As of February 27, 2013, this program has diverted 2,134 nonviolent offenders from prison resulting in more than $8.7 million in prison costs avoided by the state of Florida.3
Mental Health Courts
The origin of mental health courts stemmed from situations similar to those preceding the development of drug courts – repeat offenders in need of treatment services. With available community resources dwindling for people with serious mental illness (SMI), the courts were seeing more repeat offenders with untreated mental illness. Florida's jails and prisons are not designed, equipped, or funded to deal with SMI, so the use of the drug court model/problem-solving court model was a logical response.
As of July 2012, Florida has 25 mental health courts in operation. Like drug courts, mental health courts hold offenders accountable while linking them to the treatment services they need to address their mental illness. Monitoring and treating offenders with SMI in a mental health court is more effective, efficient, and less expensive than the remedies available through traditional justice system approaches.
Veterans' Treatment Courts
Veterans' treatment courts are designed to assist defendants with the complex treatment needs associated with substance abuse, mental health, and other issues unique to the traumatic experience of war. Some veterans returning home from war find it difficult to assimilate back into the community. Veterans with untreated substance abuse or mental health illnesses, including those with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), may find it even harder to return to their home lives which can sometimes lead to criminal activity. Veterans' treatment courts are based on the drug court/problem-solving court model yet they rely heavily on the use of mentors – other veterans in the community who volunteer to support defendants with one-to-one time and attention. Veterans' treatment courts leverage resources available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to serve these offenders treatment needs. As of November 2012 Florida has eight veterans treatment courts in operation, two of which are operating as a part of drug court and/or mental health court.
Florida Drug Courts and Other Problem-Solving Courts Quick Facts
- As of January 2014, Florida has 101 drug courts in operation, including 48 adult felony, 5 adult misdemeanor, 24 juvenile, 21 family dependency, an 4 DUI courts.
- There were nearly 8,000 admissions into Florida's drug courts in 2012.
- In 2012, there were more than 260 children reunited with their parents in Florida due to dependency drug courts.
- In 2012, there were more than 120 drug-free babies born to female participants while in drug court.
1 Section 948.08(6), Florida Statutes (1993).

These are the five that are must haves for those that road trip to multiple parks during the summer. Please click here to read this story.

As awareness of the need for alternative energy sources has grown, scores of organizations to support this cause have emerged all around the world. Locally, there are any number of organizations looking at achieve the goal of energy conservation and efficiency. One organization that the Science Center has worked with is FREA – Florida Renewable Energy Association.
The mission of FREA is simple. As stated on its web site, "The Florida Renewable Energy Association is dedicated to expanding the use of clean, renewable energy technologies through public awareness, political advocacy, and individual initiative. "
Acting on the belief that all Floridians have an inherent right to a clean, sustainable environment and a corresponding belief that Floridians can pursue clean, renewable sources of energy without compromising opportunities for sustained economic growth, FREA provides seminars on energy efficiency, solar energy, and alternative fuel vehicles and tries to work with similar organizations to advocate policies that will make Florida a leader in renewable energy development and use.
