Get Ready for a Super Fourth of July in Town! Hurricane Season (June 1 – Nov. 30) is here again, and the Broward Sheriff ’s Offi ce (BSO) reminds residents to be prepared to evacuate if a Hurricane Warning is issued for Broward County. The entire Town is in a mandatory evacuation area and residents are required to seek safety and evacuate the barrier island. Capt. Thomas Palmer, the BSO District Chief in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, said the start of hurricane season is a good time to make plans to stay with friends or relatives. If residents ignore the order to evacuate, they do so at their own peril because there will be no police, paramedics or fi refi ghters in Town to respond to a 9 1 1 emergency. Once sustained hurricane winds reach a particular threshold, “It’s no longer safe for fi rst responders to be on the roadway,” Palmer said. All public safety personnel and vehicles are relocated to Holy Cross Hospital until it is safe to return. Please see pages 6 and 7 for more hurricane information. Get ready for a super Fourth of July in Town! Presented by the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea and the LBTS Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), the Town’s Fourth of July celebration includes our annual parade, a Family Fun Day and concludes with fi reworks shot off the beach. The parade starts at 10AM in front of the VFD’s Fire Station on Bougainvilla Drive and winds it way over to El Mar Drive (Please see map on Page 3). The Family Fun Day activities are in El Prado Park from 11AM to 3PM and include the VFD’s waterslide, clowns, face painting and food. The day concludes with fi reworks shot off the beach north of El Prado Park. Mayor Chris Vincent, the chairman of the July 4th Committee, hopes all Town residents will turn out and enjoy themselves on this great national holiday. 07/01/21 08/05/21 09/02/21 10/07/21 07/02/21 08/06/21 09/03/21 10/01/21 “We invite everyone to come out and celebrate the Fourth of July,” Vincent said. “With the pandemic it’s been a hard year for everyone. We have a great Town parade, a wonderful afternoon of children activities in El Prado Park and a fantastic fi reworks show that evening.” Parade Route Always a community favorite, the parade begins at 10AM in front of the VFD Fire Station on Bougainvilla Drive (next to Town Hall). It heads north to Pine Avenue, east to El Mar Drive and then south to Hibiscus Avenue, where it will end. Please note: the Pelican Hopper shuttle will operate its normal Sunday route north along El Mar before and during the parade, and will cease operating on July 4th at 5:25PM. Leave Your Vehicle At Home The Fourth of July is all about the fi reworks show and ours begins at 9PM just north of El Prado Park. Broward Sheriff ’s Offi ce Capt. Thomas Palmer strongly reminds everyone that traffi c on North Ocean Drive will be jammed for at least one hour after the fi reworks show ends. “You can expect extremely heavy traffi c all day,” Palmer warned. “If you don’t need to drive, don’t. Trust me, driving that evening will not get you home any sooner.” Motorists can expect heavy traffi c throughout the day, but especially between 9 and 11PM. BSO will close Anglin’s Square to all vehicle traffi c from about 8PM until the heavy pedestrian traffi c subsides, between 10 and 11PM. The Commercial Boulevard Bridge will also be closed to all boat traffi c from approximately 9PM to 11PM. The bridge will remain open to vehicle traffi c. To clear out traffi c after the fi reworks display, BSO will set-up alternate routes, including directing all westbound traffi c over the Commercial Bridge into Fort Lauderdale. Thank You! A big thank you to our Sparkler Sponsors, Baxter and Woodman Consulting Engineers, and Howard Goldberg Real Estate. The Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea’s Fourth of July parade this year will feature its oldest Parade Grand Marshal ever, Paula Mangano. A long-time Town resident who owns Paula’s Surf Beauty Salon, Mangano (featured in the photo at left and with her son Charles at right) moved to Town in 1953 from Ohio after fi rst vacationing here with her husband, who off ered her a choice of vacation spots — Las Vegas or Florida. “I prefer going to Florida,” Paula told him, and so “We drove down here.” The Town Commission issued a proclamation honoring the centenarian for turning 100 on Dec. 5, 2020. “I feel wonderful about it,” Mangano said about being named Grand Marshal. “I’m happy to do whatever they want me to do to help them.” TOWN EMPLOYEE PROFILE Edner Saint-Jean is the Town’s Assistant Finance Director.

HURRICANE If you reside in the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, you probably already know you live on a barrier island, which protects Florida’s coast from storm surge. What you may not realize is that a barrier island that undergoes a direct hit from a powerful hurricane will sustain extensive property damage due to storm surge. Because the entire Town is between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, residents will be ordered to evacuate if a Hurricane Warning is issued for Broward County. What Is A Hurricane? A hurricane is a tropical storm with constant winds greater than 74 miles per hour. These winds can extend inland for hundreds of miles. Hurricanes can also spawn tornadoes which add to its potential destruction. Because of the tropical nature of a hurricane, torrential rains may cause massive fl oods or fl ash fl ooding. Storm Surge While the wind speed gets the most attention, storm surge can be the most dangerous element of a hurricane. Storm surge is a dome of ocean water that can be 20 feet high at its peak and 50 to 100 miles wide. Nine out of 10 hurricane Before the storm hits, residents should have fi rm plans fatalities are attributable to storm surge. about what to do with their pets and where they are going to “The entire Town is in a mandatory evacuation area, stay during a hurricane. regardless of the storm’s strength, Category 1 through 5,” Town residents should evacuate to areas west of Federal said Capt.

It has a varied and indented coast, with open sandy bays contrasting with craggy headlands and skerries. It is renowned for its whisky, having eight distilleries with their distinctive buildings. Tourism and traditional agriculture are the other economic mainstays; many come to Islay to watch the spectacular populations of geese and cliff birds. Away from the distillery buildings, the settlement pattern is mostly agricultural with small crofting settlements near the low- lying coastal areas. Colonsay lies to the north. It is fringed by sandy beaches and is also known for its bird life. Prehistoric and mediaeval monuments, such as Mesolithic mounds and stone crosses, survived relatively well here due to less land-use pressure.

  • Moray and Caithness
    Moray and Caithness: A landscape fashioned by geology Moray and Caithness The far north-east of Scotland encompasses a wide range of landscapes, from the rolling hills of Moray and the coastal flagstone cliffs of Caithness, to the blanket peat bogs of the Flow Country and the ancient rugged A Landscape Fashioned by Geology mountains of eastern Sutherland. These landscapes have all formed during a long and complex geological Clive Auton, Jon Merritt and Kathryn Goodenough history, from rocks that were buckled and warped by continental collisions that occurred many hundreds of millions of years ago, to the sculpting of the hills and valleys by glaciers just a few thousand years ago. Since Neolithic times, the inhabitants of the region have made use of its geological resources and also changed its appearance irrevocably. This book describes the whole of that geological and human history, laying bare the events that have shaped the landscape of this remote but intriguing corner of Scotland. About the Authors Mor Clive Auton has worked as a field geologist in Scotland for almost thirty years on many aspects of the rocks and landscape, A particularly in the Highlands and Northern Isles, but also around the Moray and Solway firths. He is particularly interested in the y AN glacial history of Moray and Caithness and also in the Old Red Sandstone rocks of the Orcadian Basin. Clive is an active member D C of the Quaternary Research Association and has led many geological field excursions to the Caithness and Moray area. A Jon Merritt has worked as a field geologist on various aspects of the superficial deposits and glacial landforms of Scotland for over ith N thirty years, particularly in the Highlands and Islands.

  • 34 MYRIAPODS on the OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little
    BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH MYRIAPOD AND ISOPOD GROUP Volume 20 2004 MYRIAPODS ON THE OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little Dumbarnie, Upper Largo, Leven, Fife, KY8 6JG. INTRODUCTION Published records of myriapods from the Outer Hebrides are scanty and are summarised in three sources. Waterston (1981) recorded 15 species, with a list of islands from which each had been recorded. This incorporated records from Barra in 1935 reported by Waterston (1936). The provisional atlases (British Myriapod Group, 1988 for millipedes, Barber & Keay, 1988 for centipedes) recorded seven species, adding two to the total, but did not claim to be comprehensive with regard to earlier published records. In addition there are unpublished records of millipedes rising from a survey of invertebrates conducted in 1976 by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE, 1979). This included pitfall-trapping at 18 sites on Lewis/Harris, North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist, but produced only Cylindroiulus latestriatus (at every site), plus a single Polydesmus inconstans on North Uist. I visited the Outer Hebrides from 3rd to 13th June 2003 and recorded myriapods on the following islands: Lewis/Harris, Great Bernera (bridged), Scalpay (bridged), South Uist, Eriskay (bridged), Barra and Vatersay (bridged). Recording was solely by hand searching in leaf-litter and under stones, wood and refuse. The general impression was that myriapods were scarce, with a large proportion of turned stones revealing nothing. In contrast earwigs, Forficula auricularia were unusually abundant. MILLIPEDES Waterston (1981) recorded six species, including one, Cylindroiulus britannicus, from St Kilda only. The provisional atlas recorded four species post-1970 adding Ophyiulus pilosus.
