WHowever, a guest who knows what to look for might be able to find evidence of all four of those critters – and perhaps even more – when visiting the refuge… or even in their own backyard. Last Friday afternoon, a 30-minute program, entitled Oh Scat! & Animal Tracks, was presented in the refuge’s education center. Ranger and naturalist Jeremy Clothier shared the secrets about how to track animals through evidence they leave behind, including their footprints, shed skin, hair, teeth and bones as well as scat, which can reveal a lot of valuable information, too. Clothier discussed the three types of walking tracks mammals make, which include plantigrades, digitigrades and unguligrades. Plantigrades, which walk with a “flat foot” like humans, include raccoons, opossums, bears and skunks. Digitigrades are “toe-walkers,” like dogs, coyotes, panthers and bob- cats. Unguligrades are “nail-walkers” that have hooves, like deer, wild boar, cows and horses. After explaining each type of track made, Clothier passed around silicone-cast molds During the presentation, Jeremy Clothier passed around silicone molds of different animal’s of animal paws, claws and hooves to the audience. At the end of the PowerPoint pre- paws, claws and hooves sentation, there was a quiz in which the crowd had to match each image of a paw/ left behind by animals. Formulas for which type of animal made what kind of scat were claw/hoof with what type of animal it was made by. divided into several subdivisions, including size and shape (sphere or cylinder).

More recently, she and her partner, Howard Fraher, shared a home. “I loved to walk,” she said recently, “and I often walked ten miles a day. Plus, I used to ride my bike to Captiva and back.” Everything changed in 2002 when Bluehs was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For a while she continued to operate her nursing service, using a cane and eventually a walker. With Fraher’s help, she was doing OK. She considered selling her home and Susan Bluehs and Pearl, a familiar sight on the sidewalk along Casa Ybel Road put in an application for a CHR rental unit. Then Fraher died suddenly, and the situa- tion became urgent.

  • Florida's Third Largest City, with a Population of Over 330,000 Residents, Is Tampa. It Is Believed That This Famous City
    Tampa Written by Mrs. Lovelady Florida’s third largest city, with a population of over 330,000 residents, is Tampa. It is believed that this famous city was named by its original inhabitants, the Calusa Indians. Tampa means, “Sticks of Fire,” due to the frequent lightning storms the Calusa people encountered. This historical city once stationed Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, while they waited to ship out for the Spanish-American War in 1898. Later, Tampa made history in 1914, when the world’s first scheduled passenger flight flew from St. Pete to Tampa. I think you would agree, Tampa is one of the greatest Florida cities to visit because of its incredible sports teams, family-fun attractions, and interesting parks and museums. To start off, Tampa is an incredible city to travel to because of its well-known sports teams. Raymond James stadium, also called “Ray-Jay’” is home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Guests are welcomed by Captain Fear who resides in the captain's quarters of the ship, and uses the crow's nest to keep watch over Tampa every night. This ship is 103 feet tall, and weighs an astonishing 43 tons. An animated parrot can be seen on the stern of the pirate ship. This parrot is even known to pick fans from the crowd and talks to those passing by. The Buccaneers’ head coach is Lovie Smith. Some of the Buccaneers’ players include: Jameis Winston, Vincent Jackson, and Doug Martin. The outdoor stadium has over 65,000 seats and is famous for hosting Super Bowl XXXV and Super Bowl XLIII.

  • Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study
    Arts & Economic The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts .rMI Culture Organizations and Their Audience From the iconic images of the Florida Highwaymen to the museums that preserve and collect our history, arts and culture define us. They improve quality of life for Floridians and visitors to our state. The arts and culture inspire creativity and lifelong learning, build strong communities, and build a strong network for leadership that encourages a stronger Florida. The findings of The Arts and Economic Prosperity III reveal that, in addition to these innumerable benefits, arts and culture bring economic vitality to our state. This study reveals that the cultural industry is important to economic prosperity. In Florida, arts and culture mean business. With more than $3 billion in total direct expenditures into the Florida economy in 2008, arts and culture are sound investments in Florida’s future. In the pages to follow, you will read about the many ways that arts and culture are good news for those looking to strengthen Florida’s economy. Leaders in Florida are supportive of arts and culture because they have helped to bring new businesses and ventures to our state. In today’s competitive global marketplace, arts and culture can play an important role in attracting high-wage jobs and a creative workforce. The Arts and Economic Prosperity III expands that notion. Not only can the cultural industry play its important part in attracting business critical to economic recovery, this industry contributes directly to economic activity, supports jobs, and returns revenue to local and state government. The return on investment number speaks for itself.
