Indianapolis First Friends Meeting embarked on this journey over three years ago. We moved from a hope and dream of a program such as this to a reality with a completed period of study when eleven of our youth were affirmed by our Meeting in June 2015. This ten-month program of study and experience was created for our young people to help them explore their spirituality, discover their identity as Quakers and to inform them of Quaker history, faith and practice. While Quakers do not confirm creeds or statements made for them at baptism, etc, we felt it important that young people be informed and af - firmed in their understanding of who they are as Friends. -

Thesis supervised by Dr. Fernando Moreno. Number of pages in text: 41 The natural environment of South Florida has been affected by many anthropogenic disturbances, such as nutrient enrichment, soil erosion, pesticide contamination, and algal blooms. Efforts to divert freshwater resources to sustain the more populated areas have had devastating effects on the state's wetland areas. Coastal and benthic ecosystems have also been subject to many stressors as a result of runoff and groundwater contamination. Legislators have begun to consider the impact of ecosystem destruction not only ecologically but economically and have responded with increased funding and protective legislation designed to preserve the area. -

January2008v2 ( PDF )
The Florida Current The University Press of Florida Newsletter January 2008 Taking the Plunge: On Tour with Lu Vickers When the subject of book tours comes up, my writer friends tend to fall into two camps. One feels that with all the changes in the book industry, writers must do everything they can to promote their work— including setting up and financing their own book tours. The second camp feels that book tours are more trouble and expense than they’re worth. I fell into the second camp, and not just because I’m shy. My only experience with a book tour, prior to the one I made on behalf of Weeki Wachee, City of Mermaids was a jaunt across Florida with a friend to promote a book in which we both had stories. I had a blast with From left to right: Urban Think! Bookstore manager Jim my friend, but we only read to a total of seven women and a handful of Crescitelli, Ginger Stanley Hallowell (former WW mermaid), sleeping cats. I don’t think we even sold any books. So, I was a bit leery Holly Hall (one of the mermaid twins), Lu Vickers, Dolly when UPF’s publicist Romi Gutierrez mentioned that a book store in Key Heltsley (the other mermaid twin), Darlest Thomas (former West was interested in having me down for a signing. WW mermaid), and Frank Billingsley of the Florida Humani- ties Council. My partner, on the other hand, had no qualms at all. She said one word: Hemingway. As if a trek to Key West would somehow catapult me into his company. -

SUGARLOAF KEY's HISTORIC RESOURCES by GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007
SUGARLOAF KEY'S HISTORIC RESOURCES BY GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007 Throughout the history of Sugarloaf Key, people have created and left behind a number of historic sites and structures. Some have survived; others have perished. Native American settlement on the island is evidenced by a midden — or shell heap — on the gulfside of Upper Sugarloaf, facing Cudjoe Key. This area drew the first white settlement, too. The 1850 census notes Jonathan Thompson and two other men there, growing tropical fruits and sweet potatoes. Non-agricultural supplies had to be brought in from Key West. By the 1890s, J. Vining Harris, who built the Southernmost House in Key West, owned extensive areas of Lower Sugarloaf and had a wooden house there. In 1909, he sold some of this land to Charles and George Chase, who pioneered efforts to grow sponges in Sugarloaf Sound. Soon, the community of Chase sprung up, with a post office, houses and work buildings. None of these structures survive. The Sugarloaf Lodge stands in the area today. The building of the Overseas Railroad, which reached Key West in 1912, created the right-of- way and concrete-arch bridges still remaining. The latter include the Lower Sugarloaf Channel Bridge connecting the Saddlebunch Keys with Lower Sugarloaf, the Park Channel Bridge connecting Park Key with Upper Sugarloaf and the Bow Channel Bridge connecting Upper Sugarloaf with Cudjoe. World War I wound up having a significant influence on Sugarloaf, as the financial instability brought about by the war drove the Chase Brothers' sponge operation into bankruptcy. -
