• Trainer Janine Greco Is The First Responder For WHS Athletes (gotowncrier.com) — Wellington High School athletes have a dedicated first responder in athletic trainer Janine Greco, who handles everything from ankle taping and concussion checks to rehab sessions on campus all year. Supported by Baptist Health, she coordinates with doctors, communicates with parents, and offers practical advice on hydration, stretching, and injury prevention tailored to Wellington’s student-athletes. 
• Property Values Stay Strong, But Tax Reform A Concern For PBC (gotowncrier.com) — Wellington’s taxable property value has climbed to about $13.87 billion, up 4.88 percent, but a statewide property tax amendment on November’s ballot could sharply cut future local revenues. County officials warn that higher homestead exemptions and limits on property-tax uses may force reductions in services like infrastructure, parks, and environmental programs that Wellington residents rely on.
