Tortoise inventory

Photos courtesy of KELLI STICKRATH Students from the St. Petersburg College Environmental Science Club took part in an ecological inventory of the gopher tortoise population Feb. 19 at Honeymoon Island State Park. Coastal strand and mesic pine flatwoods were inventoried for burrows, documenting the size and activity status. About 700 burrows were documented in a 10-acre area, with an estimated 300 tortoises on the property. With the student’s data, land managers can make decisions regarding property burn regimes and conservation of the threatened species. Above, from left, Patrick Harrbert, Mateo Aristizabal, Jake Long, John Frankovich and SPC instructor Kelli Stickrath discuss the biology of gopher tortoises and the reasons for their decline. Right: Steve Thomas, left, Michael Dyer and Christopher Ferris check out the burrow size of tortoise nests.

What bothers me is that the issues that set them off, and the way they react, are exactly what you’d expect of young adults raised with relative privilege who seem to have no reason to fear that their lives will lack for a certain level of comfort. But they do have reason to fear. My reply has become this: These culture war issues aren’t the chal- lenges that will matter to your generation. Your generation’s fate is being decided right now in all this hubbub in Congress about the debt ceiling and taxes and spending cuts and entitlement “reform” and health care “reform.” And, by the way, what do you think about all that? Blank stares. Don’t get me wrong: The so-called social and cultural issues are im- portant. I suspect that by the time these young people are middle-aged and presumably have gained a level of social capital and economic clout, many of these societal shifts will no longer be controversial. But I worry what they are not seeing with their oh-so-tolerant eyes. Sure, they wax on about getting beyond racism. And they are adept in the language and gestures of diversity, often showing off the evi- dence of their enlightenment with racially diverse selections of music in their iPods. But what they don’t seem to grasp is the complex and enduring in- terconnection of race and class. They are unaware that a wealth gap is widening between the races and is greater than it has been at any time in the past quarter century. As reported by Pew in July, the median wealth in white households is 20 times that of African-Americans and 18 times that of Hispanics. What do they think is fueling this trend, and what can be done about it? Is it a good thing that income and wealth distribution in America is polarizing? More blank stares. We’ve been hearing an earful lately about the sort of world that will be left to succeeding generations. That sort of rhetoric featured promi- nently the recent debt limit fight in Congress. What I don’t often hear is young people grasping how it’s them – their generation – whose fate at 65 or 70 is being decided by Mitch Mc- Connell and John Boehner and Barack Obama. They face catastrophe if medical inflation is not controlled now. They will face personal adver- sity if the political class of today decides we can do away with the so- cial safety net. Despite our current recession, the worst since the Great Depression, the existential threats to the U.S. economy and way of life will not arise in the next decade. The baby boomers will retire and be cared for in GOP marches backward in the ’60s precisely the way they were promised. No, the potential calamity will befall those that come after.

13041 Park Blvd. Seminole, Florida 33776 To Whom It May Concern: After the recent passing of my uncle, his house in Seminole, Florida had to be sold. Mr. Saylor did an excellent job of arranging for all of the preliminaries such as the ap- praisal, recommending changes that made the house more saleable, listing the house, Point Your Future Toward Blue Skies and making a timely sale that was equitable to both buyer and seller. The feeling that foreclosure is looming clouds everything. The house was under contract the first day on the market and closed within 30 days!!! $VD&HUWLÀHG'LVWUHVVHG3URSHUW\([SHUW &'3( ,DPGLVWLQFWO\TXDOLÀHGWR KHOSWRQDYLJDWHWKHHQWLUHODQGVFDSHRIIRUHFORVXUHDYRLGDQFHVROXWLRQV All of the details and negotiations were executed professionally and as rapidly as pos- ,I\RXDUHUHDG\IRUDIUHVKVWDUWDQGGHWHUPLQHGWRDYRLGVFDPV,LQYLWH\RX sible.
