Bernabe Sanchez Macia, 86 BELLE GLADE — Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Bernabe Sanchez Ma- cia, 86, died peacefully at his home in Belle Glade on Jan. 27, 2011. Bernabe, the eldest son of former Cuban Senator Bernabe Sanchez Culmell and Ana Maria Macia Sanchez, was born in Havana, Cuba, on Nov. 9, 1924. He was fi rst in his class at the Storm King School in Cornwall-on-Hud- son, New York, and graduated with a B.S. in Engineering from the Unit- ed States Naval Academy in 1946. Bernabe’s graduation from the Naval Academy was accelerated due to WWII, where he served on active duty in the Atlantic. Upon graduation, Bernabe returned home, married and assumed re- sponsibility for the family’s three cattle ranches -- most notably El Oriente -- and a Camaguey feed mill. El Oriente shared a border with neighboring King Ranch, which later became an employer. His work with Santa Gertrudis cattle was internationally recognized, as were his innovations in cattle nutrition and artifi cial insemination.

Photo / Jenny Woods Road to Pahokee closed State Road 715 at West Morgan Road is currently closed in each direction to facilitate an emergency pipe repair. Motorists traveling northbound are being detoured via SR 715/Hooker Highway, and motorists traveling southbound are being detoured via SR 715/SR 441. At this time, the closure is expected to last through mid February 2011, weather permitting. FDOT has assigned a contractor to complete this work, and the replacement pipe is currently being manufactured. Once construction of the new pipe is completed, work will begin immediately on-site. Emergency rescue teams in the area are also aware of the closure and related detours, and have altered their routes ac- cordingly.
