Materials for FY 2009 Budget Workshops
Attached are the preliminary budget materials for the FY 09 Budget Workshops scheduled for
Thursday, June 19, 2008, and Friday, June 20, 2008. It is important to recognize that revenue
from ad valorem taxes is based on preliminary taxable values as of June 1,2008 provided by the
Property Appraiser. The County's gross taxable value for FY 09 has decreased 4.38% from the
gross taxable value in FY 08. The decrease in taxable value is a direct result of Amendment 1
and decreases in property values. State law requires the County to calculate a rolled back millage
rate as a starting point in the ad valorem process. When taxable values increase, the rolled back
millage rate is less than the prior years adopted millage rate. Conversely, a decrease in taxable
value causes an increase to the rolled back millage rate.
Due to a new Florida Legislative requirement, the method of calculating the rolled back millage
rate for FY 09 has changed. Under this new requirement, the County must add the dollar impact
of "amendment I" to the adjusted taxable value before calculating the rolled back rate. The
impact of this change in the calculation method will reduce but not eliminate the increase to the
rolled back millage rate. Each ad valorem taxing district under the Boards' jurisdiction is
impacted by the decrease in taxable values and by the change in the method of calculating the
rolled back millage rate. The ad valorem revenues in the attached budget workshop materials are
based on estimated taxable values provided by the Property Appraiser as of June 1,2008. The
actual (final) taxable values will be provided by the Property Appraiser by July 1,2008.
The workshop binders contain the following information in the General Overview section:
. Macro budget summary of the total County budget;
. Fund summaries of the General Fund (001) and the MSTD General Fund (111);
. Untinaneed Requirements (UFR) lists and associated UFR descriptions. The
UFR list identifies the amount of each UFR request, the amount of any offsetting
revenues, and the net cost of each UFR request. The list further notes whether
each UFR request has recurring costs.
Office of Management and Budget
General Fund
The adopted FY 09 budget policy limited the General Fund millage rate to the rolled back
millage rate less Constitutional Amendment 1 ramifications. Preliminary taxable value for the
General Fund decreased 4.38%. The millage rate for FY 09, based on the Board of County
Commissioners approved budget guidance is 3.2901 mills, an increase of 0.1432 mills over the
FY 08 millage rate which was 3.1469 mills. The proposed FY 09 General Fund tax levy is based
on the Board's approved budget guidance.
The General Fund has an available UFR reserve of $3,125,000. Uses of tbis reserve should be
limited to budgetary issues that do not require recurring funding.

dollars and $4,635,500 in non-recurring dollars.

the rolled back millage rate less Constitutional Amendment I ramifications. Preliminary taxable
value for the Unincorporated Area General fund decreased 4.38%. The millage rate for FY 09,
based on the Board of County Commissioners approved budget guidance is 0.7065 mills, an
increase of 0.0153 mills over the FY ()g millage rate which was 0.6912 mills. The proposed FY

Opening of Sonth Regional Library
$1,691,100
There is a UFR in the amount of$I,691,IOO for the opening ofthe South Regional Library. This
facility will be completed and could open in February or March of2009. This UFR represents
funding for nine (9) frozen positions for a full-year plus $750,000 for the purchase of books. The
cost to open and operate for seven (7) months is $555,400, which includcs $427,000 for personal
services; operating expenses were based upon the Naples Regional Library as the buildings are
similar in size and are estimated at $ I 08,400; additional books and A V materials for the facility
were included at $20,000.
Items not included within the identified costs above include the need for additional staff to provide
58 hours of service weekly at the Regional Library to mirror the service hours provided at the
Naples Regional Library. Thcsc FTE would include transfers oftwo (2) FTE from East Naples,
one (I) FTE from Marco Island, one-half(.5) FTE from Estates Branch and one-half (.5) FTE from
the Naples Regional Library. Staff transfers would require reduction in thtee (3) hours p'er week'at
the Estates Branch, ten (10) hours per week at the East Naples Branch; and five (5) hours per week
at the Marco Island Branch.
An opening day collection of approximately 30,000 items is estimated to cost about $750,000 or
$25 per item. Should funds not be available for purchase, the Library would transfer what
materials it could from all other locations. If funds are available to purchase an opening day
collection, a six-month lead time is the minimum amount of time needed to select order and
process materials for a new building.
This facility will provide service to the growing population in the Southern and Eastern parts of
Collier County. The current East Naples Branch Library is not adequate to provide service.
Additionally, this facility would provide public access to diverse educational, recreational and
cultural materials, programs and facilities as specified in the County Strategic Plan (I.A.6), and
"public INTERNET access" as specified in the County Strategic Plan (V.V.2a).
Costs to operate South Regional for the entire FY09110 are estimated at $941,100. Staff transfers to
South Regional and resulting hours reductions are based upon the assumption that the Library
maintains its current level of89.5 FTEs. Should additional positions become open and then frozen,
the Library would need to adjust hours at all locations and consider other staff transfers to ensure
adequate staff at all locations.
Transportation
Expand Route #3 Service Hours
$ 11 0,000
This request is to provide more frequent service to CAT Route #3 in the Golden Gate City area.

CDES-PUD Monitoring
Activate Two (2) FTEs devoted to Pun Outreach
$ 157,700
The current staffing level shows two (2) unfilled positions within PUD Monitoring Fund (131). Staffin
the filled positions perform both the PUD commitment monitoring functions and the Outreach activities.
The current staff allocation is insufficient to maintain both activities, especially when more PUDS are
being approved and more turnovers to HOAs arc occurring. AdditionalIy, the administration of the
CDES responsibilities for the CTS system has been assigned to the PUD Monitoring Section.
It is recommended that the 2 unfilIed positions, currently funded from the Pun monitoring fee, be
funded from the MSTD General Fund (I I I). Since the primary activity for these positions would be the
Outreach activities as noted above, it is recommended that PUD annual monitoring and commitment
compliance activities would be funded from Fund 131 revenues and the Outreach activities would be
funded from I 11.

have decreased substantially and Court Administration had to move an employee (1 FTE) from the Court Innovations Public
Guardianship Program back into the Administration fund (681) during the current year in order to be able to pay for the contracted
public guardianship program.
Revenues FY 07/08 _ Forecast revenue is based upon actual collections received through April 2008. This revenue source was
created effective July 1, 2004 when the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 04-42 pursuant to s. 939.185 F .S.,
which was part of the revision to Article V of the State Constitution. As discussed above and throughout the Courts and Related
Agencies budget, revenues have declined substantially and are anticipated to be $52,500 less than the FY 08 adopted budget.
Current FY 08/09 _ Personal services decreased 100% as all employeas in the fund have been moved. During FY 2008, one (1)
FTE was moved mid-year to Court Administration. At the beginning of FY 2009, two (2) FTE ware moved back to Parole and
Probation and the remaining 3.6 FTE were moved back to Court Administration. Both Parole and Probation and Court
Administration are within fund (681).
Revenue FY 08/09 _ This revenue source has declined along with all other Article V revenues and as a consarvative measure, the
FY 09 budget will be consistent with the FY 08 forecast.
Note (1): The source of this revenue is an additional court cost of $65 when a person pieads guilty or no contest or Is found guilty
of any felony, misdemeanor, or criminal traffic offense in Florida, Twenty-five percent (25%) of this amount is allocated to fund
innovative court programs.
Note (2): Collier County pays for the management of 80 wards per month with this program and the State pays for an additional
40 wards. There remains a waiting list for placement as there is not sufficient funding to increase the program. Collier County
pays the Guardianship Office directly and the State pays their portion directly to the Guardianship Office as well so there are no
transfers and/or intergovernmental revenues and expenses associated with the State portion in the Collier budget.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Revenue is based upon actual collections received through April 2008 and are approximately 25% below the
adopted budget. This revenue source was created effective July 1, 2004 when the Board of County Commissioners adopted
Ordinance 04.42 pursuant to s. 939.185 F.S., which was part of the latest revision to Article V of the Stale Constitution.
The transfer of $251 ,500 results from the unused portion of the revenue received from the $65 court cost fee as provided for in
State Statute Section 939.185 (1) (a) 4. There was a residual amount in the fund at the start-up of Article V revenues that was
supposed to be spent down to cover Teen Court costs with any excess collected revenues being diverted back to Court
Innovations, This transfer represents a catch-up of the transfers that should have been made over the last two years and
including the current year as provided for in State Statute Section 939.185 (1) (a) 4. The Board of County Commissioners
approved this transfer on May 27,2008 via Agenda Item 16J4.
Current FY 08/09 . Includes a budget of three thousand dollars for college scholarships to be competitively awarded to three (3)
of the Teen Court participants.
There is no budgeted transfer of excess revenues for FY 2009 as the expenses of the Teen Court operations have reached the
level of the declined revenues generated under Article V.
Revenue FY 08/09 - The current budget is held consistent with the FY 08 forecast 85 a conservative measure. All Article V
revenue sources are experiencing declines over the prior years' results due to the unstable economy with no outlook for
improvement.
Note: The source of this revenue is an additional court cost of $65 when a person pleads guilty or no contest or is found guilty of
any felony, misdemeanor, or criminal traffic offense in Florida. Twenty-five percent (25%) of this amount is allocated to fund Teen
Court Programs and Juvenile Assessment Centers. Each of these juvenile programs has been allocated twelve and a half
percent (12.5%) or $77,900.

Forecast FY 07108 - Operating costs have been reduced by $51,400 and capital outlay of $62,500 has been deferred.
Additionally, the transfer to the General Fund has been decreased by $79,100 to absorb the shortfall in revenues and
carryforward from the prior year.
Revenues reflect collections of a $2 per page service charge collected for recording documents or instruments as listed in s.
28.222 F.S, The revenue estimate is a projection based on actual monthly revenue receipts as compared to the prior fiscal years.
FY 08 receipts to date have continued a decline that started in FY 07. There is an overall anticipated shortfall to adopted budget of
$614,400.
Current FY 08/09. Expenditures include payments to CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) for shared technology upgrade
costs for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. In prior years, these costs were allocated to Court Administration, Public Defender, State
Attorney and Guardian Ad Litem agencies. Transfers were then made from this Court Related Technology Fund to reimburse the
individual agencies. This direct payment for the shared costs eliminates allocations, transfers and reimbursements and is in
line with the other five counties in the District. Each of the agencies will stil! receive some reimbursements from this Fund for
their direct IT related costs.
A summary of the CJIS budget is included as a schedule. Due to the enormously reduced revenue projections, it is not expected
that all costs will be covered as requested by CJIS. The total CJIS budget submitted for FY 2009 was $413,400 and Collier has
allocated $153,700 for contributions to the District costs, Including the specifically identified capital items for Collier Courtroom
Operations, State Attomey and Public Defender. Should the revenues increase, Collier will increase their contribution to the
District costs accordingly.
Transfers include $272,700 to the General Fund to pay for court-related technology needs of the Circuit and County Court Judges,
State Attorney, Public Defender and Guardian Ad Litem offices. There is also a transfer to the Court Administration Fund (681) to
pay for the court-related technology needs of the the Court Administration Programs in the amount of $308,200.
Revenues are $614,400 below the 2008 adopted budget. This bUdget is based upon collection history for 2005,2006,2007 and
2008, which has declined steadily each year. The total budgeted revenue is held consistent with the 2008 forecast.
UFR FY 08/09 - There was an additional request submitted by the Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Council on May 23, 2008
requesting funding in the amount of $65,100. This would also be an expanded service as this is a newly formed agency seeking
funding assistance. In light of the current revenue shortages and increased funding requirements by the General Fund, this
request was unable to be incorporated into the current FY Og budget.

Fiscal Year 2009 Proposed Budget
Community Development & Environmental Services Division
Comprehensive Planning Department
Forecast FY 07/08 - Personal services are projected below budget due to mid-year attrition and not filling two (2) FTE's due to a
reduction in Fund 131 revenue even though department activities have increased.
The majority of department revenue is realized via transfer from those county-wide operations utilizing comprehensive planning
services. Comprehensive planning services are provided to the Plannin9 Fund (131) and the General Fund (001) reflecting this
department's service in providing county-wide growth management functions - such as concurrency management and growth
management planning.
Current FY 08/09 - Current staffing is budgeted at a 80% rate for personnel. Personal Service costs are down with the reduction
in Fund 13t revenue, This staff reduction has occurred at a time of increased activities which most likely will adversely affect
certain projects. Total authorized FTE's increased to fifteen (15) with the transfer of one (1) FTE from Zoning and Land
Development. Total expenses within this cost center are down 5.0% from the FY 07/08 adopted budget with personal service
reductions being mitigated by several areas of operating cost increases. Increased cost areas include a newly budgeted
$25,000 for Clerk minutes recording fees, and a 30% increase in statute required legal advertising costs to $100,000.
Transfer revenue from the Planning Fund, 131 - which is shown at the fund level- is down 40% to $232,200 reflecting the
decreased cost of Comprehensive Planning Operations connected with FTE attrition and projected reduced workload related to
current planning activity.

Fiscal Year 2009 Proposed Budget
Community Development & Environmental Services Division
Engineering Services Department. Environ. Office
Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast personal services are projected to be under budget with the freezing of an additional 2 positions,
bringing the total number of positions frozen within this cost center to 4. The subsequent slump in 131 revenue resulted in
implementation of current year cost savings efforts which resulted in reductions in operating expense.
Current FY 08/09 - Current staffing within the section is budgeted at a 60% rate for personnel. Personal services include ten (10)
authorized FTE's with funding for six (6). Of the four (4) unfilled FTEs, two (2) occurred through attr~ion, and two (2) FTEs were
unfilled following staff accepting positions elsewhere in the County. Total expenses within this cost center are down 22.9% given
current personnel funding and across the board reductions in operating expenses. All capital expenses within this cost center
have been eliminated.
Since fiscal year 2007-2008, this cost center (178984), along with the Environmental Services Department fund 111 cost center
(178980), have been combined with Engineering Department cost centers to form the new Engineering and Environmental
Services Department. Cost savings have occurred from the elimination of redundant administrative functions, and through
efficiencies gained in review and inspection processes.
In addition to cost saving measures, this section is actively participating in the Municipal Software implementation project, with
the goal of creating enhanced environmental review processes which directly lead to further improvements in review time frames.
Revenue FY 08/09 - For fiscal year 200812009, budgeted total revenue within CDES raflects a 21.1% reduction from the FY
200712008 adopted budget. This is a reflection of the continuing reduction in planning/construction activity within the County.
Level of Service Impacts of Staff Reductions:
Note that as a result of the frozen positions, staff within the current filled positions and funding levels can not meet projected
review time frames at the 95% level. The Percentage of Reviews Performed on Time is therefore revised downward to 80% for
FY 2009 given the projected staffing, funding levels and workload. In order to get back to the 95% target, at least 2 positions must
be unfrozen to accomplish the projected workload at the 95% target.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast personal service expense is expected to exceed budget and will be covered by a 4th quarter budget
amendment. Total forecast expenses within this section are projected below budget with the current compliment of two (2) FTEs
being maintained for a majority of this fiscal year going forward into FY 2009.
Current FY 08/09 -Current staffing is bUdgeted at a 33.3% rate for personnel. Personal Service expenses have increased
modestly, reflective of cost of living adjustments. Reductions in operating expenses have led to total expenses decreasing by
7.7%. The consolidation oftha coes Engineering and Environmental Departments in FY 00/07 resulted in 2 FTEs being
transferred out of this cost center and into Fund (131). Those FTEs maintain fractional duties within this cost center's purview,
and that is reflected in a $55,100 fiscal year 200812009 interdepartmental service payment which is part of this section's
operating expense.

Building Review & Permitlng Department
Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast appropriations are projected well below budget, with cost savings measures reducing operating
expenses, a hiring freeze, and mid~year staff reductions reducing personnel costs. Forecast building permit related revenue
within Fund (113) (consolidated within Admin cost centers) is projected below budget by $2,105,000 or 30%.
Current FY 08/09 - Responding to the slowing level of development activity in Collier County, the fiscal year 200812009 Building
Department budget reflects a variety of cost saving strategies which have reduced this sections overall expenses by 30.5%.
Current staffing is budgeted at a 63% rate for personnel. Attrition and mandatory reductions due to severe revenue shortfalls, has
led to a total of thirty seven (37) unfilled positions within this section. Of this department's one hundred (100) authorized FTEs,
sixty three (63) are funded and 37 FTEs are unfilled. Of the thirty seven (37) unfilled FTEs, seven (7) took advantage of the
County's VSIP program, seventeen (17) were unfilled via workforce reduction, ten (10) occurred through attrition, and three (3)
accepted positions elsewhere in the County. Operating reductions include the elimination of funding for contracted inspection
services to assist with inspection demand overflows, the elimination of recruitment expenses, and large reductions in furniture,
supplies, travel, and other related expenses. Capital expenses have been totally eliminated by deferring the scheduled
replacement of inspector vehicles and using non-inspector vehicles (assigned to Departmental staff).
In addition to these cost saving measures, the Building Department is aggressively participating in a variety of efforts with the
goal of improving operational efficiency. Implementation of the Municipal Software System is expected to automate a large variety
of currently manual processes. Internal work flow studies are currently ongoing and intended to leverage the software proiecfs
potential benefits.
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) completed their analysis of the Collier County Building Department on February 28, 2008.
The report answered the most frequently asked questions on how many inspectors do we need to supply the desired level of
service to our community. The national standard is 10 inspections per day per full time inspector. The benchmark has proved to
be realistic based on the surveying of 14,000 Building Departments,
Based on our weekly activity reports we are estimating 20 inspections per day per full time inspector for FY 09. The following are
a few of the risks associated with exceeding the standard.
*Customer service - not completing all inspections in a timely manner on a daily basis.
*Private Providers - ensuring the projects using private provider inspectors are completing the minimum mandatory inspections,
required under the building code have been performed and properly recorded.
.Damage Assessments and Mitigation of storm related damage - a reduction in building inspector damage assessment teams
and public outreach relating to storm damage inspections.
*Homeowners Insurance - an increase of inspections per inspector could reduce the amount of credits received for a new home
constructed in Collier County.
Fee revenue and workload demands are being monitored and reported on a monthly basis, and a detailed plan is in place to
further reduce costs if it becomes warranted. Such actions include the further reduction of FTEs, and placing staff such as field
inspectors on part.time schedules.
Revenue FY 08/09 - In keeping with current work demand levels, total operating revenue in the entirely of Fund 113 for fiscal year
2008/2009 excluding transfers is bUdgeted at $6,7 million, which is down from the comparable fiscal year 2008 budget of $9.7
million, and the fiscal year 2007 budget of $13.2 million. This year's budget plan within Fund 113 shows a fund balance (carry
forward) of $2.7 million. This fund balance was reduced from the year ending 07 fund balance of $5.2 million. This reserve
reduction is attributable primarily to an anticipated operating 105s of $2.5 million during fiscal year 2008.

Fiscal Ycar 2009 Proposed Budget
Community Development & Environmental Services Division
Code Enforcement Department
Forecast FY 07/08 - Personal Services are projected to exceed budget due to unanticipated separation payouts and VSIP
program payments. Operating and capital expenses are projected slightly below budget.
Current FY 08/09 - Current staffing is budgeted at a rate of 96% for personnel. Personal Service expenses are budgeted to
decrease by 1.1 %, reflective of 2 unfunded FTEs. Further reductions in operating and capital expenses have led to an overall
decrease in the fiscal year 200812009 budget of 5.5%. This $245,700 reduction in the Code budget included a $118,000
reduction in capital expenses, a $31,000 reduction in cell phone expenses, and a variety of smaller expense decreases.
Included this fiscal year, wrth the Code module of City View having gone live, is $50,000 for IT Direct Client Services in support of
the new system. This IT charge of approximately $250,000 (which is in addition to other IT capital and IT allocation charges) is
assessed to Fund 113, and redistributed to Departments based on FTE counts and system usage.
In addition to cost saving measures, the Code Enforcement Department implemented the Initial phase of the municipal software
system initiative within CDES. It was anticipated that process efficiencies through the automation of tasks, and process
improvements through enhanced access to technologies such as GIS, would lead to opportunities to improve the cost of
providing services, This is partially reflected in the reductions contained within this fiscal year 2008/2009 budget, and further
savings are anticipated.
Revenue FY 08109 - Revenue has been budgeted 13.0% below the fiscal year 200712008 adopted budget, which is due almost
solely to a reduction in budgeted Code Enforcement Board Fines from $400,000 to $125,000. This $125,000 figure is reflective of
fiscal year 2007 actuai and fiscal year 2008 forecast revenue numbers, and the $400,000 budget number was based on e
anomalous fiscal year 2006 revenue number. Total revenue for fiscal year 2008/2009 is bUdgeted to be $1,482,700.
Level of Service Impacts of Staff Reductions:
~Field Supervisor - reduced guidance in the field to investigators, no backup for investigative supervisors and the response to
AIMS issues will heve to be distributed throughout the Department.
-Urban Area Investigator - The investigative staff will now have an increase in square mile coverage and address points for which
they will be responsible for responding to complaints and initiating proactive patrols, It is anticipated that this reduction will affect
the response time to complaints as well as result in a reduction of proactive patrols.

coes Administration Office of Operations
Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast expenses are projected to be below budget with seven (7) positions unfilled during the course of
fiscal year 2008 due to attrition, VSIP program participation, and revenue necessitated staff reductions. These reductions were
offset by un-budgeted separation pay and expenses connected with the VSIP program.
Current FY 08109 - Current staffing is budgeted at a rate of 53.3% for personnel. Total expenses for fiscal year 2009 are down
37.1%, with seven (7) unfilled positions and additional reductions in operating and capital costs. From the seven (7) unfilled
positions, two (2) occurred via the VSIP program, two (2) occurred as a result of revenue required workforce reductions and three
(3) stemmed from attrition, For fiscal year 2009, Scanning and Call Center expenses are down 38.9%, and Addressing expenses
are down 30.5%
This cost center, and the remaining costs centers of GIS/Mapping, Records, Addressing, and Cable Administration were
combined prior to the 2007 budget under the CDES Office of Operations and Regulatory Management which report directly to the
CDES Administrator.
In addition to on-going cost saving measures, this section is actively involved in the Municipal Software system implementation
project, with improved efficiencies in the addressing process expected.
level of Service Impacts from Staff Reductions n The following is the impact result from reducing records room staffing to a
count of three (3) FTE.
-Hours of operations for the CDES Records Room will need to be changed to accommodate workloads.
8 am - 9 am CLOSED
9am-12pm OPEN
12 pm - 1 pm CLOSED (Lunch)
1 pm-4 pm OPEN
4 pm - 5 pm CLOSED
-For customer service and security reasons, no more than six customers (internal and external) will be allowed in the records
room at one time.
. The timeliness of publiC records request processing will be impacted.
-Many support duties to other departments will need to be assumed by those departments (permit folder creation, document
pick-up, sorting of files scheduled to be digitally converted, divisional mail services, etc.)
-Jobsite copy requests will take up to five business days.
~Offsite storage retrieval deliveries will be reduced to two times per week (Tuesday and Friday).
-Zoning, Engineering and Building Department archived documents will no longer be scanned until staffing levels increase.
Once these protocols can be measured over a period time, additional cuts in operating hours or reduction in services may be
required at a later date.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast personal services exceed bUdget due to separation payouts and expense connected with the
participation in the VSIP program.
Current FY 08/09 - Current staffing is budgeted at a 75% rate for personnel. Of this cost center's four (4) authorized FTEs, three
(3) are funded and one (1) is unfilled after VSIP participation. Total expenses are budgeted to decrease by 22.1% given
personnel reductions and across the board reductions in operating expenses. All capital expenses for this cost center have
been eliminated from this proposed bUdget. Principal expenses in this cost center are related to mapping supplies and required
software.
In addition to cost saving measures, this section is playing the central role in the GIS integration Into the new Municipal Software
system. GIS functionality is available in all the system's modules, and is expected to greatly improve application review process
time frames. This cost center, and the remaining costs centers of GIS/Mapping, Records, Addressing, and Cable Administration
were combined prior to the 2007 budget under the COES Office of Operations and RegUlatory Management which report directly
to the CDES Administrator.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Forecast personal services are projected to exceed budget with the transfer of one (1) FTE from Fund (113)-
the Records Section. This will be covered by a 4th quarter budget amendment. Operating expenses are forecast below budget.
Current FY 08/09 - Personal Service expenses are up 50.8% reflecting the additional position plus budgeted salary adjustments.
Overall expenses are up 37.1 % and while personnel costs represent the majority of this increasB, it should be noted that a
appropriation totaling $19,200 for rate case related professional services is budgeted.
This budget shows a rate increase (regulatory assessment fee) from 2% to 3% of gross utility revenue. With expanded ragulatory
duties due to new utilities coming on line and current utilities expanding their service areas within their certificated franchise
areas, continuing to collect at the current 2% regUlatory assessment fee will create revenue shortfalls expected to exceed
$25,000 for fiscal year 2008 and $50,000 for fiscal year 2009. A 3% regulatory assessment fee would provide a funding level that
is more parallel with the expenditure costs for the regulatory function as well as anticipated costs relating to future rate cases.
Should a fee increase not be granted and a rate case ensue during fiscal year 2009, consultant, engineering and legal costs
could exceed $200,000, which would be paid from utility regulation reserves, leaving this fund in a position that would not be able
to support future rate cases from other regulated utilities.
This 1 % increase in the regulatory assessment fee, as illustrated in the fiscal year 2009 budget, continues to offer a significant
savings in comparison to the Florida Public Service Commissions Regulatory Assessment Fee of 4,5%. The increase will
continue to enable the County to provide the regUlatory function at the local government level, and should aid in stabilizing future
drains on the utility regulatory reserve balance. This modest increase will cost the average private utility customer 70 cents per
month on the average utility bill of $70.00.
This cost center, and the remaining costs centers of GISIMapping, Records, Addressing, and Cable Administration were
combined prior to the 2007 budget under the CDES Office of Operations and Regulatory Management which report directly to the
CDES Administrator.

Fiscal Year 2009 Proposed Budget
Community Development & Environmental Services Division
Engineering Services Department
Forecast FY 07/08 - Personal Services expense are projected under budget due to mid-year cost reduction measures which
included freezing of an additional seven (7) positions in response to declining fee revenue. The total number of unfilled positions
is eleven (11). Operating and capital expenses are projected below budget with across the board expense reductions.
Current FY 08/09 - Current staffing is budgeted at a rate of 62.1 % for personnel. Of the eleven (11) unfilled positions _ one (1)
FTE participated in the VSIP program, three (3) positions were frozen through revenue related workforce reductions, six (6)
positions were left unfilled through attrition, and one (1) FTE accepted a position elsewhere in the County.
Total cost center expenses are budgeted to decrease by 21.6% from the previous year's adopted budget due to unfilled positions
within this section and across the board reductions in operating expenses including reductions in other contractual services of
$25,000, and reductions in all vehicle related expenses due to decreased inspection activity. All departmental capital expenses
have been eliminated from this proposed budget.
For fiscal year 200812009, the Engineering Department, which includes this cost center (138327) and PUD Monitoring (138220)
has been combined with the former Environmental Services Department to form the new Engineering and Environmental
Services Department. Cost savings were realized from the elimination of redundant administrative functions and other review /
inspection efficiencies within the new Department.
In addition to ongoing efforts to realize cost efficiencies, this Department is actively involved in the Municipal Software
implementation project, with an Operations Analyst assigned to the project on a full time basis, This analyst is part of a larger
team reviewing all work flow processes within the planning fund, and insuring that streamlined and improved processes are
incorporated into the new software which will be carried forward into the Divisions daily activities.
Revenue FY08109 - For fiscal year 2008/2009, total revenue assigned to this department is down 21.6% from the FY 200712008
adopted budget. This is a reflection of the continuing reduction in planning/construction activity within the County.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Personal Service are projected well below budget with the freezing of an additional FTE, increasing total
unfilled pos~ions to two (2) of this cost center's four (4) authorized positions.
Current FY 08/09 - Total expenses are budgeted at 30,7% below the previous year's budget with the addition of one (1) unfilled
FTE mid-year FY 08. Of the two (2) unfilled FTEs, one (1) occurred through attrition, and one (1) accepted a position elsewhere in
the County. Additional across the board reductions in operating expenses are included in this proposed budget, and all cap~al
expenses have been eliminated.
Level of Service Impacts of Staff Reductions:
The current staffing shows 2 unfilled positions due to the hiring freeze. Staff in the filled positions perform both the PUD
commitment monitoring functions and the Outreach activities. The current staff allocation is insufficient to maintain both activities,
especially when more PUDS are being approved and more turnovers to HOAs are occurring. Additionaliy, the administration of
the CDES responsibilities for the CTS system has been assigned to the PUD Monitoring Section.
It is recommended that the 2 unfilled positions, currentiy funded from the PUD monitoring fee, be funded from Fund 111. Since
the primary activity for these positions would be the Outreach activities as noted above, ~ is recommended that PUD annual
monitoring and commitment compliance activities would be funded from Fund 131 revenues and the Outreach activities would be
funded from Fund 111,

Transportation Administration (101)
Forecast FY 07/08 - Total personal services are slightly above bUdget and reflect the fact that projected attrition savings were not
realized. Small cost centers tend to have a problem achieving budgeted attrition. Overall, department expenses are projected
below budget. Department revenue is forecast above budget with projected increases in the Motor Fuel Tax Rebate. This revenue
has traditionally fluctuated from budget estimates,
Current FY 08/09 - All major Division level overhead expenses are charged to this Department.
This cost center reflects a personal service decrease of $48,000 or 4.9%, One FTE was transferred to Transportation
Engineering Department Fund (312). When accounting for the decrease in allocated indirect costs, operating expenses are down
4.4% from fiscal year 2008. Noteworthy activity includes a $47,800 decrease in the Indirect Service Charge allocation and a
$92,100 decrease in the Divisions Property Insurance charge.
Capital outlay includes annual on call GIS support.

Fund (427) Transportation Disadvantaged Budget Notes
Grant funds In the form of Transportation Disadvantaged Medicaid and Trip & Equipment are combined with a General Fund
(001) transfer to fund contractual paratransit operations through McDonald Transit; fleet related operating expenses; and
programmed capital purchases. For fiscal year 2009 budget purposes, only expenses funded from the General Fund transfer
($1,776,600) and anticipated farebox revenue ($72,000) will be shown. Commencing in fiscal year 2009, farebox revenue
together with total operating expense is budgeted. In prior fiscal years, farebox revenue was subtracted from operating expense
and only net operating costs were budgeted. The programs remaining bUdget balance comprised of grants ($859,900) do not
coincide with the County's fiscal year and are thus approved via budget amendment.
The current contract with McDonald Transit entered into in October 2005 is scheduled to be re-negotiated and discussions are
anticipated to cover all aspects of fleet and route operations. McDonald Transit receives monthly consideration for their services
which currently totals approximately $205,000 per month. McDonald Transit is entitled to monthly biliing adjustments based upon
the number of trips as defined within the contract.
Currently twenty (20) vehicles are utilized for paratransit operations with an average of fifteen (15) vehicles providing daily trip
transportation. Reserve vehicles (5) are maintained to accommodate heavy trip volume and maintenance schedules. It is
anticipated that w~h the addition of new paratrans~ vehicles, the oldest, and most costly based upon maintenance records will be
declared surplus.
Forecast FY 07/08 - The County has purchase four (4) paratrans~ vehicles funded under the 5310 program.
Current FY 08/09 - The contract for McDonald Transit is budgeted at $1,070,000 with fleet operating and overhead costs
(including fuel, parts, vehicle maintenance and facility costs) totaling $778,600. The purchase of four (4) paratransit vehicles,
consistent with Fleers recommended replacement schedule is planned, The paratransit vehicles will be paid through the 5310
grant program. This grant program requires a 10% local match of $38,000.

Fund (426) Collier Area Transit Budget Notes
Grant funds from the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) and State of Florida (State Block Grant) are combined with a
transfer from Gas Tax Fund (313) and General Fund (001) to support Collier Area Transit operations. Per County budgetary
guidance, Gas Tax Fund (313) provides a $2,000,000 annual subsidy in support of CAT transit operations. For fiscal year 2009,
the Gas Tax subsidy has been reduced to $1,750,000. The General Fund (001) transfer has been ,educed by 2% to $1,105,400.
Commencing with fiscal year 2009, farebox revenue is budgeted with a corresponding increase in operating expense (gross
operating expense is budgeted).
For fiscal year 2009 budget purposes, only expenses funded from the Gas Tax transfer, the General Fund Transfer and farebox
revenue will be shown. The programs remaining bUdget balance, comprised of grants, do not coincide with the County's fiscal
year and are thus approved via budget amendment.
Personal Services include one (1) FTE.
FY 08/09 Current - McDonald's contract (including grant funding) to operate the scheduled regular routes totals $6,480,200.
A total of twenty three (23) buses are available for CAT operations. Eighteen (18) are considered primary and five (5) are
maintained in reserve status. FTA 5307 grant funds are used on an annual basis to purchase new fleet; offset facility capital
expense; and fund capitalized operating expense. For fiscal year 2009, federal 5307 grant funds are planned for construction of a
passenger transfer facility at the Government complex.
Fleet operating and overhead costs (including fuel, parts, vehicle maintenance) total $757,700 and are fully funded from 5307
grant revenue. While not budgeted, 5307 grant revenue is pre-awarded and staff would like to discuss the idea of budgeting a
portion ($757,700) of the $2,000,000 anticipated grant award in this budget to offset fleel charges.
Fourteen (14) routes operate six (6) days a week and twelve (12) routes operate on a reduced Sunday schedule.

Forecast FY 07108 - Beginning in fiscal year 2008, landscape maintenance expense previously budgeted in Fund (112) was
shown in MSTD General Fund (111) under specific cost center designations. This change was made to eliminate the automatic
roll of maintenance expense which is a product of project fund budgeting_ Both landscape maintenance and landscape capital
construction projects - which remain in Fund (112) - are depicted on the succeeding worksheet attachment.
Forecast personal service expense withIn this department exceeds budget by $48,700. Budgeted attrition was not realized during
fiscal year 2008. Forecast capital outlay includes additional allocations ($80,000 and $19,500 respectfully) for landscaping
operations associated with U.S, 41 - Seagate to the County Line and Livingston Road from the County Line to Immokalee Road.
These additional allocations were covered by budget amendments.
Current FY 08109 - Personal Services account for a complement of nineteen (19) FTE's. One FTE is un-funded due to VSIP
separation which accounts for the modest budget reduction. Operating expenses include $4,904,600 in landscape maintenance
dollars previously budgeted in Fund 112. Regular overhead totals $135,800 - an increase of $11,100 over fiscal year 2008. This
i "crease is associated with fuel charges.
Revenue FY 08109 - Shown at the fund level is transfer revenue to Fund (111) from the various MSTU's to support staff
administration. Transfer revenue totals $169,100.

Revenue FY 08/09 - Beginning in fiscal year 2008, two tax levies - one for operating (Fund 159) and one for debt service (Fund
259) - will be generated, Together, the levies will total 4.0 mills -the amount authorized within the enabling ordinance. Debt
service was exempt from State statutory property tax limiting calculations, thus the overall millage rate payable by property owners
with the MSTU will remain at 4.0 mills.
Gross taxable value for this District based upon preliminary June 1st data from the Property Appraiser totals $211,052,256 - a
decrease of 10.62% from the final FY 08 taxable value. The debt service levy necessary to raise $622,500 in property tax revenue
totals 2.9497. Thus the operating levy will become the difference between 4.000 mils (voter approved maximum rate) and the
debt service levy or 1.0503. This operating levy will raise $221,700.

Forecast FY 07/08 - Capital outlay reflects continued implementation of the 6ayshore Phase II project ($700,000). Associated
engineering services are projected at $59,500. Landscapa maintenance expense is forecast at $173,400.
Current FY 08/09 - Engineering services are budgeted at $125,000 with a majority of remaining operating expense or $230,100
allocated for landscape maintenance expense. This budget allocates a majority of ax pense within capital outlay ($2,486,100) with
a small contingency reserve ($14,500) established. Continued implementation of6ashore Drive phase II improvements is
anticipated.
Revenue FY 08/09 - Prior to the State of Florida enacting property tax limiting legislation, the advisory committee recommended
reducing the fiscal year 2008 rate from 1.7500 to 1.5000. A $40,000 transfer from Fund (101) is budgeted refiecting the value of
maintenance services previously provided by road and bridge crews. This transfer originated in FY 2002.
Gross taxable value for this District based upon preliminary June 1st data from the Property Appraiser totals $552,722,184 _ a
decrease of 8.9% from the final FY 08 taxable value. Pursuant to State Statute (CS for S6 1588), the taxable value within the
jurisdiction of each taxing authority used in calculation of the rolled back rate shall be increased by an amount equal to the
reduction in taxable value occurring as a result of recent amendments to the State Constitution. The preliminary rolled back

Forecast FY 07108 - The Haldeman Creek Maintenance Dredging MSTU was created pursuant to Ordinance 2006-60. The initial
tax rate of .10 mills (recommended by the Advisory Committee) was expected to generate $25,100 in property tax revenue.
However, due to an error in the GIS data base used in establishing the MSTU boundary, the Property Appraiser issued a revised
and final DR 422 form which showed a re-calculated taxable value totaling $145,783,995. The original July 2007 taxable value
number issued by the Property Appraiser totaled $251,029,631. This resulled in a significant loss of property tax revenue for fiscal
year 2008.
Current FY 08/09 . The Haldeman Creek Advisory Committee - concerned about the loss of revenue due to the boundary revision
- hes requested an increase in the millage rate from .1000 to .5000, This of course falls outside the allowable increase pursuant
to HB 1.
Gross taxable value for this District based upon preliminary June 1st data from the Property Appraiser totals $129,074,149 _ a
decrease of 11.5% from the final FY 08 taxable value. Pursuant to State Slatute (CS for 5B 1588), the taxable value within the
jurisdiction of each taxing authority used in calculation of the rolled back rate shaH be increased by an amount equal to the
reduction in taxable value occurring as a result of recent amendments to the State Constitution. The preliminary rolled back
millage rate for this District pursuant to State Statute totals .1101 and this rate is expected to generate $14,200 in property tax
revenue.
Increasing the millage rate to .5000 mils would generate $64,500 in property tax revenue. This increase would likely require a
corresponding reduction in the MSTD General Fund (111) millage rate in order to keep the County's aggregate millage compliant
with CS for SB 1588.

County Extension, Education & Training
Forecast FY 07/0B- Personal services will be $50,600 below adopted budget. Several employees left and one long-term
employee entered the VSIP program during the current year. These vacant positions were frozen per current County Policy.
Operating expenses are anticipated to be $52,100 below budget. The Multi-County Agent contract position was eliminated at
$30,000 and the Lethal Yellowing Palm program was identified as unsuccessful and thus eliminated. The areas of concern will
still be monitored and education will be provided to the homeowners on how to treat the identified problem palms. The
elimination of this program saves the County $20,000 annually.
Current FY OBI09 _ Personal services will be below the prior year adopted budget as a full year of the frozen positions will take
place. Provisions for the VSIP personnel have been included. A full-time Extension Agent was added back to manage the Family
Consumer Sciences Programs for FY 09. The University has agreed to fund this position 60% with the County contributing the
other 40%. The County Extension, Education & Training Department is funded at 65.8% for personnel.
Operating expenses will be $44,500 below the prior year adopted budget. This lakes into consideration the elimination of the
Lethal Palm Yellowing program as well as the Multi-County Agent contract position. The total reduction of these two programs of
$50,000 were off-set slightly by increases in fuel and utilities.

Fiscal Year 2009 Proposed Budget
Public Services Division
Domestic Animal Control
Domestic Animal Control (001)
Forecast FY 07/08 _ Personal Services are estimated to be $40,800 less than budget due to the adoption of the Florida
Legislature Tax Reform Package. The savings was funded by freezing vacant positions. The adopted budget contained an
allocated reduction of $90,000 for five positions that were frozen prior to the start of the fiscal year. There have been six more
positions frozen for FY 07108, however, there is an interim director and fiscal tech currently in place and transfers for their salaries
are being made to fund these two positions.
Revenues _ The DAS revenue forecast is $17,000 less than orlginaily budgeted primarily because coilection of fines from
citations continues to lag. This is due in part to less citation~writing activity as a result of frozen Animal Control Officer positions,
and in part to a poor financial return on citations written, Use of a collections service will be implemented to rectify the latter.
Current FY 08/09 _ Personal services are Increased slightly over the prior year. Two of the positions frozen in FY 08 have been
reinstated. The Fiscal Technician position was vacated and frozen in FY 08, but filled temporarily by a Fiscal Technician from
Parks and Recreation. For FY Og, the transfer from Parks and Recreation has been made permenent. Similarly, the Director
position was vacated and frozen in FY 08, and filled in the interim by an Operations Analyst from Parks and Recreation. For FY 09
the Director position has been funded to allow for interdepartmental repayment of the Operations Analyst personal services
expenses to Parks and Recreation. The Domestic Animal Services Department is currently funded at 78.0% for personal
services.
Operating expenses are increasing by $157,100, primarily as a result of the use of inmate labor to pelform basic shelter
sanitation functions. Funding is requested for a crew offour inmates and one supervising deputy 6 hours per day, 5 days per
week, and 8 hours per day, 2 days per week for a total of $111 ,600. This program offsets the current loss of manpower
associated with three frozen Shetter Technician positions. If funded, personnel expenses (salary and benefits) associated with
these three frozen positions would total $125,500.
Also, $42,000 will fund postage associated with a new initiative to directly contact animal owners with reminder notices for
license renewal. The balance of the increase in operating expense is mainly attributable to increases in the cost of medicines
and drugs and medical supplies.
Capital outlay has been significantly reduced to meet budget restrictions. Total request of $31 ,600 includes $20,000 for purchase
and installation of a commercial dishwasher to sanitize animal food and water bowls: $2,000 for a hoyer lift for moving large
animai cadavers; $3,000 in fencing improvements for pig pens at the Immokalee shener; and $6,600 for 3 replacement BOO MHz
radios.

Forecast FY 07/08 ~ Personal Services increased by 4.6 per Board action to approve the in-house management of the Services
for Senio~s meals program by agenda item 16D37 on January 15, 200B. The prior contract service provider decided not to renew
their contract and in order to keep the program active, Housing and Human Service Department has hired the required staff and
rented the facility to provide this continued service. This program is paid for by grant funding from the Older American Act.
The total forecast of personal services and operating expenses are the combination of two years of grant funding. The Federal
and State grants are on a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year cycle as opposed to the County's fiscal year. These amounts represent the
total dollars that will be spent for Senior grant programs during the 07/08 Fiscal year.
Current FY 08/09 - Personal Services and operating expenses of $50,000 are to administer the Medicaid Waivers program.
The Services for Seniors reserve in fund (123) is made up of several years of residual revenue from the grant programs. These
funds will be used to offset any significant reduction in State funding so as to allow the Services for Seniors program to continue
providing services to Collier County's elderly residents, The target for reserve accumulation is to eventually reach the
approximation of one-years funding level, which is currently $1.6 million.
Revenue FY OB/09 - There Is $50,000 budgeted for the Medicaid Waivers grant, which requires no County match. The $146,400
transfer from the General Fund is to match the Community Care for the Elderly Grant and the Older American's Act Grant.
The chart on the following page shows the known funding shown above and also the anticipated funding that will be received
through State and Federal grants. These grants are not budgeted as it is unknown if this level of funding will be received.
Housing and Human Services staff presents the grants for acceptance and approval of the Board of County Commissioners
when they are received and budget amendments are put in place for the actual funding level.

Library
Forecast FY 07/0B _ Personal services are $131,100 less than budgeted. The Libraries had five (5) employees participate in the
Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) mid-way through the year, In an effort to absorb the mandated tax cuts
implemented during the 2008 budget, the Libraries had to terminate eight (8) employees, Add~ionally, six (6) other employees
left employment during the year and their positions have been frozen. These combined actions allowed the Library Department
to absorb part of the mandated tax cut allocated to them of $506,900. At the April 8, 2008 Board meeting, by Agenda Item 16 D 20,
the Commissioners directed $106,500 be provided to the Library Department from savings in property insurance premiums in
order to avoid further employee terminations.
Operating Expenses are $131 ,500 below adopted budget. The Library Depertment reduced 60 hours of service weekly
throughout the County at the various branches and decreased utilities by $39,800. The Library Department elected to forego
travel and training, saving $32,500. Repairs and maintenance items have been deferred, generating $10,500 in savings and
minor equipment and supplies have been reduced providing an additional $39,000 in cost savings.
Capital Expenses are $31 ,000 below budget as some building and general improvements and office and data processing
equipment purchases have been postponed.
Current FY 08/09 - Personal Services are $348,200 below prior year budget as the Department experiences a full year of the
above actions. The Library Department is currently funded at 73.6% for personal services.
Operating expenses decreased by $48,600. The Library Department will continue the decreased level of travel and training into
the current fiscal year, generating saving of $22,100. An additional $26,500 in minor data processing equipment, supplies and
rental equipment will be cut.
Capital outlay of $414,000 includes general building improvements of $30,000; replacement office furniture for the Naples
Branch at $2,000; office equipment replacements of $24,000; replacement of older computers and printers for $3B,OOO; and
books and micro forms at $320,000. There is an increase in the purchase of Library books because the Library Department has
requirements in the AUIR to maintain established levels of books per capita.
Revenues for fines and forfeitures are anticipated to be $18,100 more than the prior year adopted budget. Facility rental charges
were implemented during FY 2008 and rates for fines were increased in 2008 as well.
UFR FY OB/09 - There is a UFR in the amount of$1,691,100 for the opening of the South Regional Library. This facility will be
completed and could open in February or March of 2009. This UFR represents funding for nine (9) frozen positions for a full-year
plus $750,000 for the purchase of books. The cost to open and operate for seven (7) months is $555,400, which includes
$427,000 for personal services; operating expenses were based upon the Naples Regional Library as the buildings are similar
in size and are estimated at $108,400; additional books and AV materials for the facility were included at $20,000.
Items not included within the identified costs above include the need for additional staff to provide 58 hours of service weekly at
the Regional Library to mirror the service hours provided at the Naples Regional Library. These FTE would include transfers of
two (2) FTE from East Naples, one (1) FTE from Marco Island, one-half (.5) FTE from Estates Branch and one-half (.5) FTE from
the Naples Regional Library. Staff transfers would require reduction in three (3) hours per week at the Estates Branch, ten (10)
hours per week at the East Naples Branch; and five (5) hours per week at the Marco Island Branch.
An opening day collection of approximately 30,000 items is estimated to cost about $750,000 or $25 per item. Should funds not
be available for purchase, the Library would transfer what materials it could from all other locations. If funds are available to
purchase an opening day collection, a six-month lead time is the minimum amount of time needed to select order and process
materials for a new building.
This facility will provide service to the growing population in the Southern and Eastern parts of Collier County. The current East
Naples Branch Library is not adequate to provide service. Additionally, this facility would provide public access to diverse
educational, recreational and cultural materials, programs and facilities as specified in the County Strategic Plan (1.A.6), and
"public INTERNET access" as specified in the County Strategic Plan (V.v.2a).
Costs to operate South Regional for the entire FY09/10 ara estimated at $941,100, Staff transfers to South Regional and resuiting
hours reductions are based upon the assumption that the Library maintains its current level of 89,5 FTEs. Should additional
positions become open and then frozen, the Library would need to adjust hours at aU locations and consider other staff transfers
to ensure adequate staff at all locations.

Forecast FY 07/08 - The Museum added two new positions in FY 08, a Museum Assistant at the Main Museum and a
Maintenance Specialist at Roberts' Ranch. The Museum also reclassified three Assistant Museum Manager Positions to
Museum Manager. The resulting Increase in personal selV;ces expenses from the reclassifications was offset by the two new
positions being vacant during the beginning of FY 08. Forecast operating expenses exceed the adopted budget because
landscape materials ordered in FY 07 were not received and paid for until FY 08. Forecast capital outlay expenses exceed the
budget due to restoration work on the church building at Roberts' Ranch that was begun and encumbered in FY 07 but not
completed and paid for until FY 08.
Revenue FY 07/08 - Forecast revenue exceeds budget due to additional carryfolWard resulting from the restoration work on the
church at Roberts' Ranch and the landscape work at the Main Museum, begun in FY 07 and completed and paid for in FY 08.
Current FY 08/09 - Budgeted operating expenses include $100,000 for marketing, promotion and advertisemenl, and $15,000 for
a temporary traveling exhibit.
The capital outlay request of $300,000 is budgeted for the final phase of exhibit development, construction, and installation at the
Naples Depot Museum.
Transfers include $59,800 for the annual payment to the General Fund for the purchase of a portion of Roberts Ranch, and
$39,900 to the Tax Collector for revenue collection services.
Revenue FY 08/09 - Revenue is budgeted at the same ievel as FY 08 and is based on projections from the first six months of

Forecast FY 07/08 - Personal Service expenses exceed budget due to separation pay. Professional service contracts which
extended from fiscai year 2007 to fiscal year 2008 led to forecast capital expenses exceeding budget.
Current FY 08/09 - Noteworthy operating expense increases are for Electricity ($4,000), Electrical Contractors ($12,200) and
lighting maintenanoe supplie8 ($20.400). These increases were offset by a decrease in Other Contractual Services (-$4,300) and
Other Operating Supplies (-$20,200).
Revenue FY 08/09 - The Pelican Bay Advisory Board requested that this fund be supported by the extension of Ad Valorem taxes
totaling $298,700. This extension would require a millage rate of $.05322 based upon preliminary taxable value totaling
$5,612,177,945. However, to meet the budget policy guidance advanced by the County Manager and approved by the BCC, this
requested levy was reduced to $261 ,600 which requires a millage rate of $.04661. The Pelican Bay Advisory Board may approach
the Bee and ask that the original extension request be granted.

Forecast FY07/08 - Operating expenses increased primarily due to $29,500 for the County Attorney recruitment contract. This
was offset by cost containment measures that decreased telephone and FAX charges by $5,000, postage by $1,000, printing by
$1,000, dues and memberships by $1,100, organizational development by $1,500, subscriptions by $500, building repairs &
maintenance by $1000, and minor office equipment by $500.
Current FY08/09 - Operating expenses will decrease by $37,400. Most of the decrease is related to the decision to more
appropriately budget the membership to the Florida Association of Counties for $28,800 in the Other General Administration cost
center under the Bee as it is something that is not actually attributable to any department of the county. Also decreasing were
costs of $4,500 for cell phones and system support, $1,000 for postage, and $1,500 for organizational deveolpmenl.

eRA Redevelopment
Forecast FY 07108 - Staffing for this CRA was increased from three (3) to four (4) posrtions pursuant to action by the Board of
County Commissioners (BCe) on March 11, 2008. This additional position was a grade 16 Operations Coordinator. Operating
expenses are projected below budget due primarily to reduced other contractual service expenses. Remittances for the Shoreline
Stabilization Grant Program, Site Improvement Grant Program and Sweat Equity Grant Program totaling $310,000 were budgeted.
This figure included $224,000 in new grant money and $86,000 for payment on current grant contracts. Actual expenses under
the three grant programs are forecast at $150,000.
To facilitate community development and neighborhood rehabilitation within the District, CRA officials purchased property totaling
$1,717,600 during fiscal year 2007. For fiscal year 2008, land purchases are forecast at $820,000 and these purchase were not
financed.
During fiscal year 2007, land purchases totaling $1,335,000 were financed via a bank loan (Wachovia Bank) with debt service
scheduled for payment via transfer to debt service fund (287). The initiai July 2006 bank ioan (line of credit) totaied $7,000,000.
Draws from inception through the end of fiscal fiscal year 2007 totaied $5,500,000 leaving a remaining credit line balance of
approximately $1,500,000, This balance was not accessed in fiscal year 2008 and cannot be utilized until current Irtigation
surrounding eRA debt issuance is resolved.
Current FY 08109 - Budgeted funds include personal services and operating expenses connected with CRA program
management. Personal Service expense is up 25.3% - reflecting the additional BCC approved FTE added in fiscal year 2008.
Operating expense is budgeted to increase dramatically with $400,000 allocated for an update to the CRA master plan and other
professional planning services. A new eRA marketing and promotional initiative is budgeted at $350,000.
This years pool of grant dollars to fund site improvemenl, shoreline stabilization and sweat equity projects equals $310,000.
From this allocation, $224,000 is available for new projects and $86,000 is committed and due to previously approved applicants.
New grant dollars ($224,000) includes $100,000 for the residentialfcommercial rehabilrtation program; $100,000 for the sea wall
rehabilitation program and; $24,000 for the sweat equity program.
Capital outlay includes $225,000 in generai CRA improvements; $600,000 in road improvements, $1,000,000 in infill housing
construction, $100,000 in landscaping and general street scape improvements totaling $500,000,
The aggressive increase in operating and capital programs has led to a significant reduction in reserves. Budgeted reserves
have dropped $1,435,600 to $729,300.
Any decrease in tax increment financing revenue will translate to a reduction in reselVes or the capital program.

eRA Redevelopment
Forecast FY 07/08 - The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on April 24, 2007 approved the estabiishment of a new
Immokaiee CRA office oomplete with an Executive Director and two support staff beginning October 1,2007. For the adopted FY
2008 budget only the Executive Director and one (1) support FTE was funded pursuant to the CRA Advisory Board's
recommendation. A bUdget amendment providing for the third FTE (Project Manager) was approved by the Bee on March 11,
2008. The timing of various FTE hires has resulted in forecast personal services which are below budget.
Forecast operating expenses exceed budget due to expenses connected with CRA involvement in the Immokalee Medical Center
complex. This project is a partnership with Florida State University. The Board of County Commissioners authorized the
expenditure of dollars in May 2007 and part of this contractual expense rolled into fiscal year 2008.
Current FY 08/09 - Personal services are based upon three (3) FTE's staffing office operations. The expense variance from
budget 2008 represents an increase of one (1) FTE previously authorized by the BCC. Operating expenses are intended to
support office operations. Consu~ing services are budgeted at $130,000 and represent additional dollars which may be
necessary for contractual professional planning consultation. Funds are budgeted ($45,000) to reimburse the Comprehensive
Planning Department and County Attorney for routine and customary planning and legal services. The eRA is planning to initiate
a residential/commercial rehabilitation grant program and $400,000 is budgeted for this program in its inaugural year. Capital
Outlay includes $200,000 as a oontribution to offset utilities connected with the Esperanza Development. Absent a specific capital
improvement program, substantial capltai and contingency reserves exists - the total of which is $1,639,700 and $75,000
respectively.
Revenue FY 08/09 - The two largest revenue sources are derived from the CRA's property tax increment and canyforward.
Carryforward continues to grow absent capital improvement expenses.

Forecast FY07/08 - There was an increase of $670,900 in operating expenses which were almost entirely due to the escalating

Current FY08/09 - Although the Airport Authority doesn't meet the budget pOiicy of a 2% reduction from the FY07/08 budget, there
are mitigating factors to explain this increase. The cost of oil related products doesn't seem to have yet found its ceiling and
much of the Airport Authority's expenses and income are derived from the purchase and resale of Jet A fuel and AV Gas. Of the
$1,313,200 increase in the total FY08/09 budget, $1,333,300 of the increase is directly attributible to Jet A fuel and AV Gas (this
will be offset largely by a decrease in capital outlay of $130,000). This illustrates that the Airport Authority diligentiy tried to cut its
operating costs as much as possible. Furthermore, and probably more imporlantiy, the transfer from the General Fund
decreased from $605,400 to $482,000 (a dollar change of -$123,400 and a percentage change of -20.4%).

RESTORATION WORK AT DEPOT
The Collier County Museum located in the
Naples Depot in downtown Naples at US41
and 10. Street is in the final phase of its
restoration and renovation this summer.
The work involves completion of the
restoration of the building to its original
inlernal configuration and appearance as a
railway station.
The West Coast Champion streamliner - with passengers
from the East Coast and Mid-West - pulled into the Naples
Depot daily in the '40s, '50s and '60s.
The Depot is recapturing its origina' look and feel.
The work will limit the number and types of
programs that can be offered during the next
few months. But the Museum will remain
open with lots going on. For instance, two
photo exhibits of considerable interest will be
in place. See Ihe Calendar on page 1. The
Museum at the Depol is open Monday
through Saturday from 9 AM.
What's the Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch?
Originally home to cattleman Robert Roberts and his family, this IS-acre living history museum
offers a rare glimpse of daily life on an actual Southwest Florida ranch from the early t 900s.
Displays and nineteen carefully preserved buildings tell the story of those who struggled to tame a
sprawling wilderness on the edge of the Big Cypress Swamp at the turn of the last century.
Open Monday-Friday 9 am t04 pm + 239/658,2466 + In lmmokalee at 12t5 Roberts Avenue

Letters to the Editor
Kid stuff
Editor, Daily News:
For those looking for activities for c1ill~
dren under 5, check online, call or stop by
any park or library.
The library provides stories and crafts
for kids age 2 and up. There are special
programs every month, including magic
shows, speakers and exhibits on reptiles,
hugs, wildlife, dancing, juggling and more,
All 3ctivities at the libraries and parks
arc free or low cost. The Conservancy of
Southwest Florida, Rookery Bay. Naples
Zoo, King Richard's, Barnes and Noble,
Borders Books ;md Collier Museum also
provide free and reducl'd~rate activities
for kids under 5 and older. Activities for
kids 3 to 5 are geared for "their" entertain-
ment and learning experiences.
For something more spectacular, take a
family trip to the many attractions, histor-
ic sites, museums and more throughout
our state. I do wish our newspaper would
provide a daily section or page for the
many upcoming events ~llld things for
kids to do like they do for adults.
We've lived here over 50 years and
have seen how well services for kids h~tve
improved. We all pay fur our libraries and
parks and we are entitled to the services
they provide. The people working at
parks and libraries remember kids' names
and make them feel welcome and kids
love them They may be doing the jub
they're paid to do, but they do it well. I
thank them for that and for providing fun
things for us to do with our 4-year-uld
granddaughter, such as the kite festival at
Mackie Park and the ice cream social
coming up at Sugden Park.
It's all tree, and kids and adults have
quality fun. We try to participate with our
granddaughter often.

LOOKING AT ART
C;iTved in Stolle
T Hi: ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ARCHITECl
and artist Alberti wrote a trea-
tise on sculpture in which he Imagined
that the first sculpture created by man
was a natural material such as a stone,
which he saw in the semblance of a
form. With tools, he then made it look
more like a bird, animal or figure.
The Israeli artist Boaz Vaadia has a
particular affinity for natural materi-
als such as boulders and bluestone.
He carves the stones into shapes that
are stacked to create forms that have
energy and a presence. He contrasts
the cool blue of the figure with the
complementary color of the boulder it
lights upon. While contemplative in pos~
ture, Aso, at right, looks as jf he could
stand at any 1110ment. In viewing this
work, we can be filled with anticipation
of something about to happen. or we
can deCide to project ourselves into the
place of the figure and be contempla--
tlve ourselves. Assuming the pose of
A<;;l, we can escape all that would chip
away ow' composur-e and sense of who
we are and our well-being.
The work of Boaz Vaadia can be
seen at Eckert Fine Art in its new
location at the Promenade at
Bonita Bay in Bonita Spnngs.

7THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT. '
Having SUllIDler Flln With Kids
VISITORS COME FROM ALl
over to enjoy Southwest
florida's atwlCtions, hut why
should they have all the fun? Playing
tourist in your O\Vll back yard here
is the perfect cure for families 111 the
SlUllmer doldn1ll1s~providing that
you know \vhere to go with the kids.
Best of alL you only have to hear
"Are we there yet?" tC)[ the time It
takes to travel across toWIl. Here are
seven ideas to get YOll going.
1 SPLlSH SPLASH Maybe you
have a pool, but do YOU have
your own 1 ()()-foot water
slide? Or someone to wait on
you while the kids careen down
it? The Naples Grande Resort &
Club has both, plus summer rates
that make checking in for a few
days an irresistible deal (v..rwv.'.
naplesgranderesort.com). At Estero's
Hyatt Regency Coconm Point
Resort and Spa, young b111ests go
exploring with camp counselors
so moms can explore the retail
\vonderland across the street
(\vw\v. coconu tpoint.hyatt. com).
2J)(J
2 ALL ABOARD If your kId is
loco over locomotives, head
f()T the Naples Depot Museum,
where a switchyard full of train cars
hints at \~..hat life was like when
the ()rartgf Blossom Special roared in
and out of town (www.colliergov.
net).At run Myers' Lakes Regional
Park, the whole brood can ride on
the park's 111iniature railroad. Return
in October fix a spooky nighttime
excursion (www.leeparks.org).
3 NATURAL WONDERS Cd up
early to spot local Hora and
fauna from the mile-long
boardw'alk at Six Mile Cypress Slough
in south Fort Myers (\'v'ww.leeparks.
org). At north Naples' Corkscrew
S\vamp Sanctuary, the only thing
that \vill impress your kids more
than the preserve's bald C'ipress stand
and nesting Hocks of rare birds is the
preserve's Living Machine, a specially
designed, eco-fi'iendly restroom
facility (239,34H,9151).
4 PASS THE SUGAR Where
wil.1 your angel ever wear that
dehcate lace frock Grandma
sent for Easter? Try the lobby of
beach-side Ritz-Carlton, Naples,
v,'here high tea is served each
afternoon (239-598-3300). If your
munchkm needs to brush up on
her table manners, read her Emily's
Everyday Ata/mas, an Emily Post
picture book that local resident Peggy
Post wrote with her sister-in-law.
5 PARK IT Because Fido deserves
a vacation, too, let him run
with the big dogs at the ne\v
Estero Communi tv Park, v,,'here
beyond the secure gates of the
canine play area your kids will find
their own recreational wonderland
(www.leeparks.org). Bored teenagers
\\!ill get thrills--if not spills-aplenty
skateboarding at East Naples
Community Park (www.colliergov.
net) or at Fort Myers' downtown
Skate Park (wv,'\v.cityftmyers.com).
6 MAD SCIENTIST Old Man
Edison (actually, a very
convincing stand-in) is in his lab
each Sunday afternoon this sunmler.
still trying to brevI" up a cheaper wa;'
to produce rubber. (www.efY..retla.
org). At the nearby lnlaginarium
Hands-On Museum, also open on
Sundays, interactive exhibits and cool
demonstrations will inspire your own
tiny Einsteins (239,337,3332).
7 I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM
Although the rides at Naples
K.ing Richard's Family Fun Park
are relatively tame, they're still worthv
of a whoop and a holler (239-598- '
2(42).The crowd roots for the home
team at the top of its lung; when the
Twins' minor leab1lJe Miracle fi'anchise
plays summer nights plus some
weekend afternoons at HamnlOnd
Stadium in Fort Myers. Pre~game
contests and giveaways for kids make
these evenings extra family friendly. .,

JULY 6, 2007
m'l"s Happening in the Everglades City Area
From Savannah's Eves
Happy 4'h of July to everyone! I love
the fireworks on the 4th; it's my
favorite. Also, I love history, too; that
is why I am going to tell you about my
Grandpa, Cecil Oglesby, Sr.
Of course, my Dad. Parker Oglesby. has to tell me about him
because I never Iret him; he passed away before I was born. But
he is a part of the history of the Everglades because he ran the
train here in the mid 1940's lIDtil the mid 1950's,
My Grandpa was an engineer. He ran the train that logged the big
cypress trees in the Fakahatchee Strand. The Number 2 train,
along with a few other train-: going down Janes Scenic Drive to
work. were an everyday job. The tracks are where the rock road is
today in Copeland. My Grandpa would leave every morning
aroW1d 4:00 a.m, purring coal in the fire pot to make the train
engines work. They made a fire in the box and when it got hot
enough, the train was ready. So about 5:00 3.m on the Nwnber 2
train, he would take the workers down in the woods to work and
start his day carrying logs out of the woods and purring them on
the train. After all day of working, he got home at dark; his pay
was not much, about a $1.50 a day. He worked 6 days a week.
People in the 1940's lived ofT the land to feed their families.
Sometimes my Grandpa would get a deer or wild hog so they
could have meat to eat. My Grandma (Piccola Oglesby) cooked
for her family and also she cooked in the IWlCh room at
Everglades City School. My Grandpa told my Dad that she was a
great cook; that is why the School hired her. When I was a baby,
my Grandma Piccola loved to rock me until I was two years old.
When I was 2 '/2 she passed away; I miss her so much.
My Grandpa's Number 2 traio was a big part of history in Collier
COlIDty many years ago and is still history for us today. The
Number 2 engine, my Grandpa's train car, is on display at the
Collier COlIDty Museum in Naples, Florida. So stop by the
Museum at Goverrnrent Center and see my Grandpa's train car,
and a display of his things inside the Museum Outside the
Museum you can climb on the real train he drove.
So I hope you like my story and that you had flID on the 4'h!

undergone a
refurbishment

Barron Gift Collier's contributions

glimpse into the past with exhib-
its of Calusa. Seminole tribes, the
first swamp buggies, early tour-
iSq] and Hollywood movies made
onlocation in CoIlier County.
'''The children are impressed
by the movies because they in-
clude extras from Naples High
School," Gruszka says. "We have
them sit and watch a couple min-
ute clip of the 1951 film. Distant
Drums and they always laugh at
the same part - the classic kiss
that marked the happy ending of
most films in that era."
On the grounps behind the mu-
seum, visitors may walk botanical
gardens including the Craighead
Botanical Garden, and visit an his-
toric 1920s cottage, restored and
decorated with appliances and
furnishings of the era.
Guida says the original owner-

A small-scale Calusa shell
mound, created on the back por-

STORTER SHOW
IN MIAMI
The Historical Museum of
Southern Florida held its opening
reception for the Storter Collection on September 27 in
Miami. The event was a big success and included live music
on the plaza and wine and hars d 'aeurves. Inside the main
lobby, visitors from all around the east coast were given the
opportunity of seeing selected items from the Storter
Collection for the first time. The primary theme of this
exhibit was the history of the fishinf marine activity, and
hurricanes during the turn of the 20 century in southwest
Florida. Through Rob Storter's stories and art, people were
able to see how this area of Florida has changed in the past
100 years. On display were also many of Rob's wood
carving of boats and his famous fish boxes. Storter prints
and cards were made available for sale in their gift shop and
a table displaying various items was set up 011 the plaza.

they had received. The Collection entitled Rob Storter: Art

Naples, FL 34119
Dear Dr. Chrysler:
Thank you very much for your letter of October II, 2007 and your thoughtful comments
regarding Mr. David Southall, Curator of Education at the Collier County Museum.
I appreciate you taking the time to write and let me know how and enjoyable and
educational you find Mr. Southall's lectures. All too often, we hear only criticism, so
your kind remarks are very refreshing.
Once again, Dr. Chrysler, thank you for communicating your thoughts. I will share them
with Mr. Southall and the Museum Director, Ron Jamro, as well as Jean Merritt, Director,
Human Resources, and Jim Mudd, County Manager. If I may be of assistance to you in
the future, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

View over 35 original drawings and carvings by fisherman and folk artist Rob Storter
(1894-1987). Born in the Everglades, Storter spent his last years recording his
memories of growing up, living and working in southwestern Plorida, when it was still
a roadless and watery wilderness. His drawings and handwritten commentary capture
the resilient spirit, natural environs, and dangerous encounters of frontier life in early
Everglades City and the Ten Thousand Islands. Among his many images are depictions
of natural landscapes, fishing trips, local architecture and the devastating hurricane of 1910. On loan from the Collier County
Museum, Storter's artwork is exhibited for the first time in Miami.

ALL FAMILIES SEEM TO HAVE the one uncle, grandmother
or cousin who has informally assumed the role of family historian.
Their recounts of pivotal past events, colorful family members
and personal life experiences otten begin with the phrase, "Do
you remember the time...?" or "When I was young..." Lifelong
fisherman and guider Rob Stoner was that person in his family.
Only Rob didn't just stop at relling stories. He filled journals full of
them and in his 70s began drawing his memories on materials
such as paper, shirt packaging cardboard and wood, creating an
impressive body of work by the time he passed away in 1987.

Rob Storter: Art of the Everglades explores these memories and
how they function not only as visual record of one of the founding
families of Everglades City but also as a vital account of human
interaction and survival in one of the remotest frontiers in south-
western Florida.
Rob's grandfather George W Storter arrived in the
Chokoloskee Bay area of southwestern Florida in 1881. Historian
Charles Tebeau describes the Chokoloskee Bay country in the late
19th century as consisting of "a shallow inland bay almost ten
miles in length," "an island in the lower end of the bay just off
the mainland and less than 150 acres in extent a region where
most of the land is barely above sea level," with "three shorr rivers
flowing into the bay from a northeasterly direction." Tequesta
Indians had settled along the rivers as late as 1800. The region's
relative isolation and limited accessibility also made it a popular
spot for diverse groups of 19th century fugitives. Seminole
Indians resisting their enforced relocation to Western reservations
hid in the area's thick mangrove swamps and isolated hammocks
during the 1850s. Chokoloskee Bay and the nearby Ten
Thousand Islands also provided temporary sanctuary to both
escaped slaves and Army deserters seeking to evade Union or
Confederate troops during the Civil War. When George W.
Storter arrived there it was little more than a wet wilderness with
a handful of settlers living and working on the rivers as farmers.
George W stayed in the area to work on the farm of one white
settler, William S. Allen. Two sons joined him a year later, one of
whom eventually bought the Allen homestead, which comprised
the entire Everglades (City) townsite. It is in this remote frontier
that Rob Storter was born in 1894.
Using both text and sketches, Storter draws the on-looker into
the early 20th century world of this frontier where boats were
more common than automobiles, homes were built on stilts to
avoid flooding, electricity was non-existent and drinking water
had to be collected in cisterns. Because boats were the main
method of transportation and the means of transporting goods to
markets, they figure prominently in Storter's drawings and sto-
ries. He drew among other things, ships being loaded with cattle
at Punta Rassa for the Cuba market, the mail boat that carried
the post from Marco Island to Everglades City and Chokoloskee
and the scores of boats lining the fish dock at Key West where the
day's catches would soon be sold.
His drawings and carvings also capture the abundant wildlife of
the area from alligators, turtles, spoonbills and "porpoises" (mana-
tees) to an astonishing variety of fish that included mullet, mackerel,
kingfish, snook and redfish. Both his pictures of wildlife and of the
natural habitats on some of the smaller keys in the area depict the
calm repose of the region before large motor boats came along to
"churn up the vvaters" and overfishing led to the decline of the oyster
and dam population, as well as certain varieties of .fish. More
harrowing are the drawings in which Rob recounts nature's devas-
tating side. Three of them document the aftereffects of the 1910
hurricane by both showing and telling of how the storm forced one
neighbor to spend the night in a mangrove tree after his house was
destroyed and how his own family avoided this particular calamity
by spending the night waiting out the storm in a boat.
Rob Storter didn't consider himself an artist. Instead, drawing
was a vehicle for keeping alive his early memories of the region
and sharing them with those who, like his grandchildren, would
never know or see the area as he experienced it. This he accom-
plished without a doubt.-SFH

Museum of Southern Florida from September 27,2007, through

00:00
. 0
The Naples Depot held a 1940s era usa show for veterans on Sunday afternoon, re-creating the
atmosphere of days past when soldiers of "the greatest generation" were given a break from battle to
dance to Big Band music and enjoy entertainment provided by the United Service Organizations, created
in 1941 to boost troop morale.
Veterans and a crowd of other visitors who had left the memorial service in Cambier Park in Naples on
Sunday moved just a few blocks over to take to the grass on the depot museum's front lawn for a seat in
the shade as the show kicked off at 11 :30 a.m.
Naples Depot had hosted a USO show for American soldiers long ago.
Mary Margaret Gruszka, the volunteer coordinator for Collier County museums, explained a bit of the
depot's history:
"I was reading up on the history of the depot and found out that during World War II, all the depots
across the country were shut down to give fuel to the war effort.
"They were training soldiers to be Air Force pilots down at what was then called the Naples Airfield,
and on Saturday night they would bus up the soldiers and bring them down here for a USO show,"
Gruszka explained. "I thought it would be a great idea to do a re-enactment of that."
Compton & Bennett's usa Swing Band, a group composed ofWWII veterans, provided the musical
entertainment for the event with old classics from the era like "All of Me," "Don't Sit Under the Apple
Tree With Anyone Else But Me," and "Bugle Boy from Company B."
The Andrews Sisters, an accompanying act made up of three Naples women affiliated with local theater
groups, were there Sunday to perform along with the band.
"The three of us girls do songs from the period, the 1 940s," said Betsy Bennett of the trio that also
includes Amy Hunter and Sabrina Sharpe. "We like doing it because 1 think it's a way of showing
veterans that we really appreciate them -- on this day especially."

Page 4 of8
Later, as the band went into a rendition of "All of Me," a few senior couples got up to dance with some
old-style steps while the bass and saxophone played.
"1 love it. I'm enjoying myself here, and I enjoyed myself over there, too," said Co!. Nick Hale, a
veteran who had just been honored in the Cambier Park service and then came by for a seat in the shade
to enjoy the music.
"They used to have troops coming in here for the USO show by rail from the airfield in Naples, which
was originated by the Air Corps to train pilots, so that's why we have an airport there," Hale said,
reflecting on the area's military history.
Special emcee to the event was highly decorated WWII veteran Peter Thomas, who was there on D-Day
when Allied troops stormed the beach at Normandy in 1944. He was at the depot to speak to the crowd
about the significance of the USO in a time of war.
Before addressing the audience, Thomas sat down for a moment to talk about his military service and
what the USO shows of the past had meant to soldiers.
"Normandy, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Battle of the Bulge, Hurtgen Forest
- I was there for all of them," Thomas recalled. "And I'm here now in my same uniform."
Thinking back to the war, Thomas remembered how it felt to leave combat to attend the USO shows and
recalled some of the famous acts that had enlivened the men's spirits in the past.
"The usa meant so much to us. Music, dancing with the girls, free food -- it was just hard to beat," he
said. "We saw Glenn Miller in England, Marlene Dietrich, Bob Hope. Even when we were in combat
they would bring us back behind the lines to see the show, and it was like a bit of home. We appreciated
it so much."
Thomas was interrupted in his reflections by the arrival of a fellow WWlI veteran, Sgt. Bedford Biles of
the 10lst Airbourne.
"This is a real hero," Thomas said of his friend Biles, a paratrooper who had leapt from an airplane over
the English Channel strapped with more than 100 pounds of grenades and ammunition to land into the
heart of the mayhem on D-Day. 'They called his division the 'Screaming Eagles.' Now you see them on
the TV show, 'Band of Brothers. , He's the real thing."
As they exchanged a word between them, both men agreed on the most painful experience in war: losing
a fellow soldier.
"You lose a brother, and that's what you have to learn to accept," Biles said. "Life goes on."
Among the many difficult memories of war, both veterans agreed, the USO shows were a reprieve from
it all, and a chance to laugh and to dance again for a short while.
The Naples Depot's USO tribute to veterans was free to the public and lasted until 2 p.m.

Model T
bought
for Naples
Depot
Museum
Museum director says
it hopes next to add
'a World War II era Jeep
By JENNA BUZZACCD
jmbuzzacco@naplesnews.com
Ron Jamro knows it won't
pe long until his dream comes
true.
The director of the Naples
Depot Museum wants to see a
Model T inch its way down u.s.
41, with Naples Mayor Bill Bar-
nell behind the wheel. He wants
Bamettto drive it to the Naples
Depot, reviving the wonder of
the old days, even if it's just for
a few minutes.
That dream soon will become
a reality, thanks to the city of
Naples,
In Oct(lber, city government
purchased a 1922 Model T for
the museum. The car is the first
of two vehicles the city plans to
purchase for the museum, city
Finance Director Ann Marie
Ricardi said.
The money came from a Dia-
mond Jubilee fund set up by
then-Mayor Bonnie MacKen-
zie.
"(MacKenzie) was trying to
leave a legacy," she said, "She
was trying to create a memento
for the city."
The fund, which was used to
commemorate the city's 75th
anniversary, had a surplus, and
Ricardi said City Council asked
that the molley be used to sup-
port the museum,
For Jamro, supporting the mu-
seum meant helping purchase
big-ticket items that repres.ent
Naples in its early years, when
the trains from up North would
pull into the depot bustling with
passengers,
One of those vehicles the mu-
seum needed, Jamro said, was a
"depot hack."
Depot hacks, like this Model
T, were used to carry passengers
and luggage from the train sta-
tion to their hotels, ,
Jamro said it was on the mu-
seum's must-have list, but find-
ing a car, and a fundiny, source,
proved difficult.
Jamro said the city's pledge
allowed the museum to spend
more time looking for the car
than worrying about how to pay
for it.
<'It was a great pledge," he said,
"We looked for quite a long time.
We finally found a nice one in
Vermont, and the city just took
it from there."
Ricard! said the city sent some-
one to Vermont to make sure the
vehicle was in decent condition.
Once the city approved ~e pur-
chase, Jamro said the car was
shipped to Naples and placed
into storage, .

Model T
Continued from 1 A
The car cost the city $11,609,
Ricardi said.
Jamro said the car still is in
fine condition and runs just like
it did 85 years ago.
"It's very typical of the era."
J amro said. "There's some small
restoration work we need to do,
but within in a year we'll have it
(at the museum)."
Jamra said the museum also
hopes to add a World War II
era Jeep to its collection in the
next year.
The city has committed to
spend about $8,300 on a Jeep.
Jamra said the museum is
looking for a Jeep similar to the
ones used at the Naples airport
during the war.
"We couldn't afford one of the
old war birds, so we reread the
base diaries and saw that they all
had Jeeps," he said. "The search
is on at the rooment."
Jamra said the museum is
looking for a Jeep that was sta-
tioned stateside.
.. The museum has confirmed
~atthere were at least two Jeeps
$>n the Naples base,
'# The Jeep will be the last big
~em the museum needs to pur-
thase, Jamro said.
t: "At this point, the big things
ire in," Jamro said. "What we're
lO11 desperate need of is the small
~ings. I can find a railroad lan-
tern anywhere, but I can't find
'. railroad lantern that Was used
if" Naples anywhere."
~. The train station was built
$n 1927 and was used regularly
~ntil World War II. During the
\far, Jamro said the station was
frimarily u~ed for USO shows.
,. The station had a brief rebirth
'in the 1950s, when trains from up
North would come through the
station filled with vacationing
passengers.
Over the years, the depot was
used as storage space, leaving
the floors a mess, J amro said.
The floors are being refur-
bished, Jamro said.

Ripple
('()lItillu~,)Ji'(J/1I1D
released into the wild. Some are
<;0 big they eat the gators thaI eat
everything else.
Ripple's an average-sized guy
-maybe 5 feet 7 inches and 150
pounds. As an animal, he's well
below the pythons and gators on
the chain, just above hogs and
deer. But that's fine with him
He'snot some macho, gun-totin!!:
em-Mag who's out to conquer
the wilderness. He doesn't carry
bear mace or one uf the jaggl'd-
~dged Rambo knives
His tenants for tromping
through the swamps: Avoid poi-
sonous fangs. carry a compass
and plenty of water, and don't
step on alligators.
"One was resting in 011 the
bottom(inseveralfeetofwaterl,
and I walked right up on him,"
Ripple says while lumbering
slowly through the thick grasses,
"Two more steps and that would
havesucked.~
He certainly looks the part
ofawildemessman,aslender
Grizzly Adams-type minus the
mountains and pet bear. His
. typical work attire consists of
a Jong-sleeve Columbia fishing
guide shirt, hiking pants and
a pair of Teva sandals, which
he swaps for boots when hik-
ing through the swamp. His
scraggly beard and longish,
curly black hair add to the
persona.
Ripple's fascinalionwith wet
wilds started as a kid, when
he was living with his par-
ents in Charleston, S.C. "We
]ived in an apartment complex
that was surrounded on three
sides by swamps,"he says. "We
never thought anything about
11. We just had fun. There are
lots of things to play with in a
swamp."
Ripp]e'sfamilymovedtoFort
Lauderdale when he was 7,and
he adopted the Everglades as
his newp]ayground. Thirty-
some years later, it's still his
retreat from civilization and
order.
He travels to and from the
Everglades in a white Chevy
Express work van, which has a
steel platform on top for shoot-
ing, and sawhorses and scaf-
folding in the back that he uses
to display his work at shows.
There's a bumper slicker on the
back that reads, "Support the
theory of evolution: 400biiiion
amphibians can't be wrong." He
keeps a tin of speannint Altoids
and some loose change in acup
holder near the radio, There's
a copy of Car! Hiaasen's "Sick
Puppy" on the dash. He drives
slowly.
"Here's how you pass the day
in the summer," Ripple says,
sticking his head out the win-
dow to get abetter look at the
scenery. "Get into a swamp in
73-degree'water,andgetintoa
deep slough with t1owingwater.
Sit down, eat lunch and enjoy

FINANCE
On August 15, 2007, City Council authorized the
acquisition of a 1922 Model T for the Naples Depot
Museum. The vehicle was purchased and delivered to
the Naples Depot on approximately October 8th.
Although the museum will provide a commemorative
sign noting that the item was donated by the City, at this
time, the hack will remain in the museum's warehouse
until the facility is finished. The City spent a total of
$ I 1,609.68 of the Diamond Jubilee funds for this hack,
which included the cost of the vehicle, transportation
and a required trip by a City employee to confirm the
condition of the vehicle prior to acquisition. There is
$8,399 left in the Diamond Jubilee Account, which City
Council has committed to the acquisition of a WWll
Jeep or similar vehicle.

Donated WWII-era Jeep finds
.home in Naples Depot Mus~um
By JENNA BUZZACCD
jmbuzzacco@naplesnews,com
The Naples Depot Museum
needed a World War II Jeep.
Museum officials had just
started the search, scouring
the Internet looking for the
perfect vehicle to complete
the museum's collection of
vehicles that could've been
used in Collier County over
thciears.
Little did they know, a fully
restored Jeep would soon be.
rolling into their lives.
It happened Monday after-
noon, when Naples resident
Tom Ryan walked into Naples
Depot Museum Director Ron
Jamro's office and made him an
offer Jamro couldn't refuse.

. It happened Monday afternoon, when Naples resident Tom
Ryan walked into Naples Depot Museum Director Ron Jamro's
office and made him an offer Jamro couldn't refuse, Jamro needed
a Jeep, and Ryan just happened to have one, Ryan offered to
put his Jeep on semi-permanent loan after reading a story in
Monday's Daily News.

one.
"It is really a beautiful thing,"
Jamro said.
Ryan offered to put his Jeep
on semi-permanent loan after
reading a story in Monday's
Daily News. In.the story, Jamro
said the museum was looking
to purchase a Jeep similar to
what would have been used
at the Naples airport during
the war.
Ryan knows a thing or two
about how hard it is to find a
World War II Jeep, since he
spent a considerable amount
of time looking for one J3 years
ago.
Ryan purchased the vehicle
in 1994.
"I had been looking and
looking for one for a while,"
; Continued from 1 B
I he said.
',. He finally found one in Reno,
Nev, The vehicle, he said, has
been used in movies about the
era.
, Still in working condition,
, Ryan has used the Jeep in pa-
rades and has driven several
dignitaries and military officials
around in it.
, The Jeep will make the trip
down in the fall, Ryan said.
Once the Jeep is in place, the
museum's collection of vehicles
will be complete, Jamro said.
"This was the last missing
big piece of the puzzle," Jamro
said.
In October, city government
purchased a 1922 Model T for
the museum, The car, which cost
the city $11,609, was supposed to
be the first of two vehicles the
city of Naples purchased for the
museum.
The city had already set aside
Thomas Ryan has donated this World War II-era Jeep to the Naples
Depot Museum. Photo courtsey of Thomas Ryan
See JEEp, Page 7B
$8,300 to purchase the Jeep. '
City Finance Director Ann
Marie Ricardi said the $8;300
pledge to the museum still
stands, even though it won't be
used for a Jeep. .
Jamro said the museum will
most likely use some of the mQ!'-
ey to relocate the Jeep, as well
as build a display around it. The
money can also be used, Jamto
said, to purchase some smaller
items for the museum.' ,
Some of those smaller items
can't be bought, though, Jamto
said the museum is in need of
personal items, like photographs
and ticket stubs, that are remi-
niscent of the times,
"These are the thing we are tn
desperate need of," Jamro said.
The train station was buHt
in 1927, and was used regulariy
until World War II. During the
war, ]amra said the station was
primarily used for USO showS.
The station had a brief rebirth
in the 1950s; when trains from up
North would come through the
station filled with vacationing
passengers.

Once again the Roberts Mu-

of the Raid on Gopher Ridge
in February of 1865. The day.
long Civil War skirmish was
fought over the all-important
cows raised in the area, which
were intended to feed Con.
federate troops. There were
no recorded wounded in the

In the winter of l8ij5, North-
ern troops had been sent from
Fort Myers to forage. Raiding
parties were intended to dis-

erate troops. The Confederate
Cow Cavalry's job was to make
sure that beef was available
for Southern troops and also
served as local militiamen pro-
tecting area farms and ranches.
They rounded up the cows from
the woods and herded them up
to Lake City (called Alligator at
the time) where they were sent
by rail to Georgia and the Caro.
linas.
The cows at the center of
the skirmish were a direct link
to the old Spanish conquista-
dors who slogged through Flor-
ida in the 1500s. The Spanish
eventually left, but their cows
continued to breed in the lush
Florida landscape and became
the initial 'stock for Florida's
cattlemen. The Seminole Tribe
is contributing the cows for the
reenactment.
The ranch itself, established
by Ihe Roberts family in 1926
as the Red Cattle Company,
Immokalee Bulletin/Patty Brant
provides a glimpse into a van-
ishing lifestyle. a working Flor-
ida cattle ranch. The 15-acre
museum site is all that's left of
the over 100,000-acre ranch.
It was purchased by Collier
County and became a museum
in 1996. In addition to the Rob-
erts home, visitors can still see
the old bunkhouse and the site
also now houses the original
First Baptist Church building. c.

come the visitor center.
In front of the home you will
see some lovely azalea bushes,
cuttings from Japanese azaleas
presented to the United States
in 1876 to commemorate this
country's centennial.
Director Mitchell said that,
from the very beginning of hu-
man habitation in this area,
many people have worked hard
to survive and thrive in what is
now Immokalee and the sur.
rounding area.
The history of the ranch
links the various ethnic groups
that are so much a part of the
area and highlights the inter.
action and dependence that
is our common past. Director
Mitchell hopes all will learn to
share in that rich history.

"You are voted in hr your

"This is the third time I've gone through this.
They finally got the records straight," he joked
after the ceremony.
Althongh most American World War II sol-
diers who fought in France received the award
more than 60 years after the D-Day invasion,
Willis sees it: as an opportunity to attract the
attention of younger would-be soldiers.
"I think our being awarded this ... helps to
encourage other people to get in and be part of
the military. I think it's a contribution in that
sense," Willis said.
On the wall of their Naples home, where a
photo of his wife, Carolyn, in her wedding dress
once hung beside one of George in uniform
and his wings, her picture was replaced re-
cently when her husband received his Legion of
Honor certificate.
"He took me down!" she laughed.
The medal will also have a place on that wall.
In June 2007, 32 local veterans received the
Legion of Honor.
Brigitte Smith, honorary president of the local
Circle of Francophone Friends, who spearheads
the effort in Naples to honor more WWIl sol-
diers, expects 35 honorees here next year.
Naples resident Nick Hale, a retired U.S.
Army colonel who fought in WW II, received
the Legion of Honor last June; he announced
the names and ranks of Saturday's recipients.
"In a way, I would have liked it to have been
earlier," he said after the ceremony. "In another
way, it's nice to see that after so many years,
people still remember."

Dear Mr. Halas,
The Museum of the Everglades has become one of my favorite places. Tim England does
a very professional job in I'Ilnnil1g its shows and events. After my art show there in
November I have gotten many glowing comments about the museum and the show.
Eighty friends Came down from Naples to Everglades City for my artist's reception on
November 18th. Tim was there to help greet the visitors and answer questions. Many of
the visitors had never been to Everglades City and are now talking about its history and
wanting to return. They all loved the museum.
Tim was very helpful to me in putting it together, especially since I didn't arrive down
here until mid October. It all went so smoothly from beginnil1g to end. I have also been
very impressed how well presented the following shows have been.
I have thanked Tim, but I thought I should express my gratitude to your Collier County
Commission, as well. Thank you very much and please extend my thanks to Tim and his
assistants again.
Sincerely,
1I~k

Dear Mr. Niles:
I am in receipt of a copy of your letter to Commissioner Frank Halas regarding your recent
experience at the Museum of the Everglades. I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you
for taking the time to address this matter.
In today's society, all too often we hear only the bad things; it is completely refreshing and much
appreciated that you took the time to praise your experience with Collier County. By copy of this
letter, one copy to Tim England and one to his personnel file, I'm sure he'll appreciate your
words as well.
Your description of your experience is encouraging and provokes feelings of pride for being a
part of the Collier County Government team. Thank you again for your correspondence.

North Fort Myers man was
or is Jewish. He was merely
Russian and the Nazis didn't
like Russians. So, Kurdsjuk and
his family were dragged off to
a German slave camp before
being liberated by Gen. George
Patton's Third Army. Kurdsjuk
moved to the u.s. and served
in the Air Force.
He remembered the Nazi
boxcars.
"We wefe in that upper cor-
ner," Kurdsjuk said, pointing
to the boxear that Jack Nort-
man and his family located,
purchased and brought over
to Naples last year. The lO-ton
ti'eight car arrived from the Porl
of Rotterdam, Netherlands in
May, and has been undergoing
restor;l;tion since.
It wasn't that boxcar Kurdsjuk
and his fomi!y were forced into,
but might as well have been.
Measuring 10 feet in width
and 30 feet in length, between
90 and 130 men, women and
children were crushed into each
boxcar en route to one of the
Nazis' numerous concentration
camps,

Eventually, organizers hope to
visit schools throughout South-

The goal is to never, ever

don't stand together to prevent
them.
Fort Mvers resident Paul Te-
nenbaum attended Sunday's
l'\'cnl because he Jnd his f3m-
ily also survived. His JC\I,/ish
family was hidden and protect-
ed for 3.5 years by a Christian
family in Belgium.
"We owe our lives to them,"
Tem::nbaulll said. He came to
the United States in 1950 and
immediately joined the U.S.
Army, in which he served
for 16 years, something I he

"privilege."
Many thanks were given,
but one seelllec to catch Jack
Nortman by surprise.
It was a plaque presented
by Naples Mayor Bill Barnett
from the SimlJl1 \},iiesenthal
Center, honoring Nortman for
his work in finding, restor-
ing and presenting the boxcar
to the Holocaust Museum of
Southwest Florida.
''I'm just overwhelmed,"
HOliman sa;d, adding that he is
amazed that the entire South-
west Florida conmmnitv could
comt' together with a sense
of obligation to stand against
bigotry and \i,iolence.

In addition to numerous lo-

U.S, Rep. Connie Mack, and
Frank Dewane, Bishop uf the

Dear Ron,
January 27,2008 will be remembered for many reasons in Naples, Florida. It was
International Holocaust Remembrance Day throughout the world. It was the day we, in
Collier County, dedicated our WW2 boxcar as a living reminder of the atrocities of the
past and as a permanent exhibit for our museum. It was also our museum's largest event
to date with over 4500 attendees.
However, most importantly for us, it was the day the citizens of Naples came together as
one. Veterans, concentration camp survivors, clergy of all denominations, family,
friends such as yourself, and strangers, came in numbers larger than we ever could have
imagined, to show their support for our museum and its mission. Our goal is to teach
the lessons of the Holocaust to our area youth and visitors and to promote understanding
and tolerance for others so that atrocities such as this will not be allowed to happen
again.
The outpouring of support and emotion on Sunday was beyond what words can describe.
It is one thing to read about history in a book, but it is quite another to see it in the eyes
of a survivor of history. The stories and emotions from the veterans and the camp
survivors upon seeing the boxcar resonated throughout the audience. You could see it in
the eyes of the people. You could feel the tears well up while the choir sang and a
quick glance around the crowd quickly let you know that you were not alone. From
children to dignitaries, it was as if everyone finally understood what we were trying to
achieve with the Museum.
We want to express our sincere appreciation for your role in providing the Naples Depot
for the event. You have truly been a source of support for our organization and it is very
much appreciated! Florida is indeed paradise, but not just because of the beaches and
the weather. It is because of the support, actions, words and deeds of people, like you,
who make Collier County what it is.
Sinc~ely, '

Boxcar
. Continued ji'om 1
120 other people, with-
out a seat. a bathroom
or adcquate food or
water.
'''1 was in that CO[-
ncr," she said, pointing
to a spot in the 300 sq.
ft. hoxcar, whieh is still
in the process of being
conserved.
") was lucky to have a
corner. I can't believe I
lived through it. It's hard
to see, but it's good. rm
so proud of my son, he
woke up the people. He
opened their eyes," she
added.
Jack spent four years
searching for a boxcar.
to he used by the mu-
seum as an educational
tool and finally located
one last year. He chose
this date for the dedica-
tion because in 2006,
the United Nations des-
ignated Jan. 27 as In-
ternational Holocaust
Remembrance Day, the
same day in 1945 that
captives in the larg-
est death camp, Aus-
chwitz-Birkenau. were
liberated.
A plaque on the box-
car honors the Nort-
man family and all who
lived through or died in
the Holocaust. Many of
Nortman's family mem-
hers perished during the
Holocaust, including
Rose's baby, which shc
described burying while
she was separated from
her husband and work-
ing in a Russian concen-
tration camp.
"I didn't have time to
cry. I didn't know who
to cry for, my husband
or my haby," she said.
Through it all, Rose
said she still has respect
for the Russians. "They
(the Russians) saved
a few million people.
Maybe this will help
people be more prc-
pared. It's not a hidden
thing (genocide). Thcy
don't want to know. A
fi re was burning and
nohody put it out," she
said.
Revercnd Frank .I.
Dewane, the Bishop of
the Diocese of Venice,
was the keynote speak-
er for the dedication
ceremony.
"This serves as a re-
minder of human suf-
fering. Not just what
happened in the past.
May this serve as In-
spiration to be vigilant
against any actions that
rcsemble what has led to
the Holocaust," Dewane
said.
The boxcar will soon
become a mobile ex-
hibit and the museum
is searching for a flat-
bed truck capable of
transporting the box-
car to Collier County
middle schools and high
schools, according to
the museum's Educa-
tion Coordinator, Amy
Macera.
An educational pilot
program is scheduled to
begin in February, With
visits to private schools,
including Community
School of Naples and
Seacrest Country Day
School.
Joel Banow, who serves
on the advisory board
of the HMSF, said the
museum is working on
a location and funds
to build a ne\\' museum
within the next three
vears to permanently
display the boxcar.
Banow documented
the travels of the boxcar
from Vienna, Austria to
Naples and the conscr-
vation process, which be-
gan about seven months
ago at the Woodworkers
Cabinet, in Naples. He
incorporated segments
of the documentary into
a three-minute video, to
be screened at educa-
tional exhibits.
Banow described the
filming: "We put about
50 people in the boxcar,
row by row. As more
people get in, you could
see they begin to get
claustrophobic. These
boxcars ca rried SO to
120 people. With 50
people inside, you could
see they were rea lIy af-
fected," he said.
The boxcar is now on
temporary exhibit out-
sidc the depot, with a
full exhibit beginning
in the summer of 200S.
Thc longer-term goal is
to bring the boxcar to
public schools in Col-
lier and Lee counties by
next year.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890-1998) was an al,thor,
journalist and environmental aLtlvlst Her best-known work,
EW'I'gladey River of Grass, was published In 1947 It drew
attention to the fact that water IS the key to the Everglades
and presented the concept that the Everglades was not simply
a swamp to be drained for homes and businesses, but a Vital
part of the ecosystem of South Florida
The onglllal Everglades drainage scheme, Implemented In
1906, forever changed the Everglades by altering its natural
flooding and evaporation cycle Were It not for Marjory and
others like her, these changes might have gone unnoticed until
the death knell sounded
In the 1960s at age 78, Marjory became actively involved In
environmental Issues when she opposed a planned jetport along
the T amiaml Ti'al:, She established a pressure group, Friend of
thp Evprglades, and began speaklllg on their behalf to publiC and
private entities across the state In dOing so, she was able to
focus attention on the Importance of protecling thiS national
treasure
Although Marjory Stoneman Douglas died In 1998 at
108 year,,; of age, her powers of observation and skillful use of
the wnHerl word lives on Her legacy sel'ves as a challenge to
succeeding generations not only to persevere in the fight to save
the E:vergiades, but to discover for themselves the incredible
beauty of t.he natul-al wonder we call the "River of Grass"

Old Florida
Continued from 18
a few hundred yards from the
Collier County Courthouse.
Some children stood, hands
over their ears to diminish the
sound of the canon and gun
blanks, fascinated with the mock
19th century battle between
Native Americans and the U.S.
Army.
Other young visitors bolted
toward calmer scenes, like the
Calusa hut complete with a shell
mound, where "White Turtle
Woman" Wynne Tatman ex-
plained how the Calusa hunted
and used the resources in the
area, like animal skins, in daily
life.
Standing between thre.e
hanging alligator skins - two
with the heads still attached
- Tatman demonstrated to a
dozen children how a blowgun
is used.
"It's so much fun to see the
light come on in kids' eyes," she
said after the show.
Born and raised in Florida, the
former artist began performing
at living history events around
the state 17 years ago when she
realized that "we are studying
500 years of Florida history in
schools. Wbat about the 15,000
before that?"
The motto she works by in
the two to three shows a week
she performs is: "People are not
truly gone unless they are for-
gotten."
Three local girls who likely
won't be forgetting Saturday's
lessons anytime soon had been
at the festival since 10 a.m" and
by 2:15 p,m, had only made it
halfway through,
"I like books, but this is the
real thing," said lO-year-old
Seagate Elementary student
Isabella Dipasquale, standing
near the apothecary tent.
She and friend Becca Barton,
11, showed off a deerskin pouch,
baskets woven out of pine nee-
dles and feather ornaments, all
purchased at the festival that
morning.
"It's going to be so cool when
we study this stuff in class be-
cause I've actually seen it," Bar-
ton said.
But the youngest of the group
led by Isabella's mother, Lisette,
spoke the sagest when sum-
marizing the day. She earned
nods of agreement from every-
one while snacking on a bag of
popcorn twice the volume of a
jumbo size at the movies.
"It's about having fun," said
the youngest Dipasquale sister,
Lucrezia, 7, between mouthfuls.
"And learning and buying and
eating."
The Old Florida Festival con-
tinues today from 10 a,m, to 5
p.m. at the Collier Cuunty Mu-
seum.

Visitors roll out
the Inemories
at Naples-Marco
antique car show
By TRACY X. MIGUEL
tmiguel@naplesnewscom
With the help of his son, Boh Goss sat in his
father's wooden two-seater - the oldest vintage
vehicle at Saturday's Naples/Marco Island antique
car show.
Several vintage vehicle fanatics snapped pictures
ofGoss, 87, and his wife, Mary Goss, 91. of Sarasota.
as they sat in a 1900 Braley, smiling.
The vehicle, with patent leather fenders, was
rebuilt by Goss' father, T.G. Goss, and had been
in the family for 60 years.
Today, club member Chic Kleptz owns it.
"1 never imagined sitting in it again," Goss
said.
But it wasn't the only car to admire at the 20th
annual Naples Depot antique auto show spon-
sored by the Naples/Marco Island Chapter of
A.A.C.A. Club.
Vintage vehicle fanatics roamed around the
Naples Depot parking lot to check about 170
cars, from a 1929 Roosevelt to a 1957 Cadillac
Biarritz.
Among hundreds of Southwest Florida residents
visiting the car show was Ya!i Luna, his wife, Al-
Iyson, and children, Ya!i, 10; Alessio, 7; and Liani,
11 months.
They poked their heads inside a 1912 Ford Model
"T" Torpedo.
Ten-year-old Yali said he likes car shows because
he gets to see vehicles that he doesn't see on the
streets too often. His favorite car was the crearn-col-
ored, black-roof 1912 Ford Model "Tn Torpedo.
"We love coming to car shows because it takes
them back in time," said Allyson Luna, 39.
It was the second time rhat the family, from
Marco Island and Miami, visited the event.
The money raised Saturday benefits Boy Scout
Troop No. 274 and the high school marching bands
of Barron Collier High and Golden Gate High, said
Neal Jamieson, treasurer of the club.
The club has about 300 members.
Jamieson had his 1934 vineyard green Ford in
the show.

COlliER COUl~TY MUSEUM
Reminding us of what was
The Collier County Museum over the weekend held one
of its terrific historic re-enactments.
The Old Florida Festival gave visitors various glimpses at
what it was like in the days before condos, golf courses and
mega-homes.
Yes, Florida does have a history preceding Walt Disney.
Thank goodness so many volunteers are willing to work
so long, so hard to reconstruct those days for all to see. The
museum has its priorities straight by staging these public
events.

The MULLET RAPPER
WHAT's Happening in the Everglades City Jlrea
MARCH 7, 2008
LOCAL HISTORY
Who was Tommie Barfield? Would
Barron Collier been able to persuade
the Florida legislature to carve out his
county without her? Would the
Tamiami Trail have been completed?
And, would we be enjoying idyllic life
in ECity if it were not for her?
She petitioned forcefully and
intelligently in Tallahassee, when
women were "seen but not heard" in
1923, to plead for Collier's new
county which would fund the building
of the Trail. She then played an
important role in the County after its
establishment as its superintendent of
schools (although she only attended up
to third grade).
Before that "Tommie" Camellia
Stephens Barfield came to the
attention of Collier and others as she
spoke passionately to the Lee County
Commissioners' Board for roads and
ferries to improve the condition of
Marco Islanders.
You can hear about this amazing
woman on Thursday, March 20, at
2:00 p.m. at the Museum of the
Everglades. Her biographer, Betsy
Perdichizzi of the Marco Island
Historical Society, will give a
presentation in period costume entitled
"Afternoon Tea with Tommie" and
then will sign copies of her book A
Girl Called Tommie; Queen of Marco
and her newest publication Island
Voices; They Came /0 Marco.
The event (including tea and other
refreshments) is hosted by ESHP.
Everyone is welcome! For info or to
RSVP, contact Jean at 695-0202 or Pat
at 695-4642.

The featured artist this month at Museum
of the Everglades is 80 year-old Walter
Gorecki, a Chokoloskee resident whose
meticulous paintings of wildlife and
scenery will be featured at a reception to
Meet-the-Artist on Sunday, March 9,
from 1 :00 to 3:00 p.m.
Gorecki says he always drew and modeled in clay as a child although there were
no other artistic leanings in his family. He attended University of Illinois for a
year before being drafted into the Army and
then continued his studies as an art major at
Mississippi Southern. His first job was
designing women's shoes and, yes, he still
looks at our footwear with interest. He then
moved to John & Oilier Company in Chicago
where he sold printing plates to the printing and
advertising industry.

After retirement in 1994, he and wife Helen moved full-time to Chokoloskee
where he now indulges in his loves of painting and fishing. Their spectacular
home, on the edge of the bay, is festooned with his water colors and acrylics and
her woven wall hangings and rugs. Both of them also enjoy making whimsical
artifacts such as decorated palm fronds and painted furniture.
The Museum of the Everglades is at 105 West Broadway in Everglades City (the
pink building off the Circle). Gorecki's work can be seen for the month of
March, along with the permanent exhibit of the area's history and a short film
about the construction of the pioneering Tamiami Trail. Hours are 9:00 a.m.-
5:00 p.m.(Tuesday - Friday), 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. (Saturday). Phone 695-0008.
TAMIAMI TRAIL 80TH CELEBRATION
After more than a year in the planning, this mammoth event is I~.. . I '" ~,'~.j
almost upon us. The 2-day celebration takes place on the ~.~ ,cO'
weekend of April 26-27, just 80 years after the original Trail c' . .- '
opening in ECity. ,. .
Committee chair Carol Moseman reports that sponsors are still needed for a
number of items:
I. stage rental
2. transportation for Barron Collier Marching Band
3. birthday cakes
4. commemorative mugs
5. fireworks
If you can help, phone her at 695-2159 or email tamiami80(@.hotmail.com.
Other organizations with anniversaries have been contacted. For example, the
Naples Daily News was founded as the Collier County News in 1923 and then
changed its name in 1963 (another of the '03 and '08 dates). An important local
date is that McLeod Park was founded 40 years ago in 1968 and during the
weekend a commemorative monument will be unveiled.
A new website has gone live with details and histories. See
www.tamiami80.com. The schedule will keep changing as events are added so
keep an eye on it. And, do tell all your friends from near and far to mark the
weekend as one not to miss!

New museum joys and
old library worries
Around TOwn
With Donna Fiala
March is such a busy time of year!
There are so many fun tllings hap-
pening while our winter residents
are here in town,
I was thrilled to be a part of the groondbreak-
iug for the newest museum to be added to the
Collier County museum system. The Marco Island Historical Soci-
ety has worked relentlessly to obtain donations needed to build the
Marco Island Historical Museum, which will be built on the county's
Marco Island ubrary property.
Life on Marco can be traced back 6,000 years. Artifacts have been
discovered, cataloged and preserved in many locations, including
the Smitllsonian. If all goes well. the museum should be completed
sometime next year and hopefully, some of these artifacts can be
permanently loaned back to the museum, once it meets all the re.-
quirements for security and preservation.
I wish you could meet these wonderful. totally dedicated people
who have had one goal. one mission: to build a premier historical
museum. Jon and Sonja Laidig came forward in December and do-
nated $1.5 million to put them over the top to builrllhe first of three
buildings on the site. All totaled, they have donations totaling $3.4
million, but another $1.4 is still needed to complete the complex.
The County has donated the land and will equip the building with
display cases, once it is completed. It will then be run by the county
as a part of the museum system, which includes th(' Collier County
History museum at the government complex, the Depot, Museum
of tilE' Everglades and Robert's IQndl.

When Frank Hamilton Cushing came
to explore Marco Island in 1895 and
'96 - an expedition that yielded the
now well-known Key Marco Cat - he
brought along Wells Moses Sawyer,
a paleontologic draughtsman for the
U.S. Geological Survey Office in
Washington. As it turned out, Sawyer's
artistic and photographic talents
proved invaluable - and provided
proof of the artifacts Cushing and
his team found.
MARCO'S

Frank Hamilton Cushing
:ushing's expedition had its start
when Captain Bill Collier, the early island
settler who established the Olde Marco
Inn, was digging in the muck for fertil-
izer. He uncovered some objects that
he thought might be Indian artifacts.
"There happened to be a man-
Colonel Darford from the British
Museum - in Naples at the time," reports
Betsy Perdichizzi, project djrector for
the Marco Island Historical Society's
Art Interprets History grants. "He came
over by boat to have a look. On his way
back to London, he stopped at the
University of Pennsylvania and showed
the artifacts to Dr. (William) Pepper
of the university's museum."
At the time, Cushing, who had a great
interest in Indian artifacts and history,
was a patient of Pepper's. The objects
enthralled him, and the two men decided
it would be worth his exploring the site.
Pepper financed a trip for Cushing in
1895. What he found convinced both men
that a full exploration should be under-
taken. With financial support from
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, Pepper and the
www.nmagazlne.com
Sawyer painting
Smithsonian, Cushing returned to
Marco in 1896 with a full team.
The expedition recovered more than
1,000 wooden artifacts, along with other
objects made from bone, fiber, stOlle, shell
and rawhide. The items included bowls,
mortars and pestles, spears, ropes, nets,
fishhooks, such carved animals as the
Key Marco Cat and painted masks.
Sawyer described the find in a letter
he wrote to his 16~year-o]d flancee,
Kathleen Bailey:
"We have seen many curious things
and have developed a good deal of an old
village of the pre-Columbian time where
we have found really wonderful things.
The hairpins are very pretty, being of
bone and finely wrought. The whole key
was built by ancient people, it has chan-
nels leading into its interior where the
boats used to run in and out and around
the lagoons with which they connected
the people who once lived here. ! am very
glad to have seen this place; it is a Ilew
development in American archaeology
and one which can not fail to impress
all time with its importance."
Sawyer included sketches in hjs
letter, but it was the photographs and
watercolor paintings he made of artifacts
as they came out of the ground that
ultimately held the most value. The muck
pond had preserved the objects while
they were underground, but as soon as
they were removed from the muck, mallY
started to disintegrate. The colors on
painted objects also faded rapidly.
"Cushing died before he was able
to divide the collection," Perdichizzi
reports. "One of his workers subsequently
accused Cushing of salting artifacts at
the site. That cast a pall on the collection
for years."
Marian Gi]liland of the University
of Florida eventually unpacked the
barrels of artifacts and was astounded
by what she found. She collected Sawyers'
letters, photos and paintings and started
interviewing people. ~ler work ultimately
led to the collection's verification and
helped establish its importance. Sawyer's
photographic and artistic record proved
invaluable. Sawyer, meanwhile, went on
to become an artist of some renown.

fast forward now to 2008, when
the Marco Island Historical Society
again turned to artists to record the
island's history. A cooperative venture
called the Art Interprets History project
offered lectures and tours of historical
sites and, this month, is pn'.~('nting a
month~long exhibition of paintings ill
cooperation with the Art League of
Marco Island. Fittingly, the inspiration
for the project came from a noted local
artist who has long worked to preserve
the area's history.
"1 met with Paul Arsenault, and he
started showing me paintings of early
Marco he had done in the 1970S,"
Perdichizzj explains. "Whenever he
heard that things were to be demolished,
he would come to paint them. He [<:t me
borrow five of his paintings. J showed
them to the board and others in the
community. That's when the idea was
born. When we were searching for a
logo, my husband said, 'Why not use
the picture of Wells Sawyer painting
on Marco in 18967' It seemed right."
A distinguished panel of art experts
selected the five participating artists:
Arsenault, Jonathan Green, Rohert
Gruppe, Rachel Kennedy and Stephen
Muldoon. Meanwhile, the historical
society selected four sites to be artisti-
cally rendered: Horr's Island (Key Marco);
Goodland; the naval battle at Marco
Pass and Caxambas; and Old Marco
and its Calusa Indians.
"The artists painted what appealed
to them," Perdichizzi says. "We provided
them with old pbotos. They went to the
sites and met with the experts. What they
painted is the exciting part. That's the
creative side."
Along with the artistry, the project
also included public lectures by various
historical experts and field trips to the
sites. In November, archaeologist Mike
Russo provided insight into the Archaic
96
n I march 200R
lndians who lived on Horr's Island.
Archaeologist Rohert Carr did the same
for the history of Good1alld in December.
In January, maritime historian and author
Robert Macomber discussed the Civil
War battle at Marco Pass and David
Southall of the Collier County Museum
added to the history during a tour of
Otter Mound Preserve. The finallecturc/
tour in February featured archaeologist
William Marquardt and a discussi(lll of
the Calusa.
Mask
"We've also been working with Linda
Cummings, the fine arts coordinator for
Collier Olunty Public Schools," Perdichizzi
reports. "The artists have volunteered
to go into the schools and/ur lead field
trips and to talk anout history and art
work ing together."
The Art Interprets History project
concludes in March with a month-long
exhibition of the artists' paintings at
the Art League of Marco Island. There
are aLso plans to take the exhibition to
the Naples Depot.
"Our main goal is to raise public
awareness of the uniqueness of Marco,"
PtTdichizzi says. "The Calusa is the least
known tribe. They left no written
history. What we know is from archives
in Spain and Cuba and from archaeolo-
gists. Marco is also unique in the fact
that it had early villages and functioning
clam canneries."
Ultimately, the historical society
hopes to spark enough enthusiasm for
the history of Marco to build a museum
on the island. The Col1ier County Com-
missioners have agreed to provide land
for the museum near the library - if
the society can raise the money for the
building. So far, nearly $2 million of the
needed $4.5 million has been pledged.
"The society was instrumental in
bringing the Key Marco Cat here in
1995 and 2000," Perdichi:LZi reports.
"We would like to build an accredited
museum and get the cat here on a
permanent loan. Right now, it's in a
drawer (at the Smithsonian), where
very few people can see it."
Bringing the cat back to where
Cushing first found it and Sawyer photo-
graphed it seems the proper closing of a
circle. By joining with today's artists for
Art Interprets History, the Marco I",land
Historical Society just may have found the
means to get that process underway. n

Dear Timothy:
Once again, thank you so much for hiking time to Ilpend with our group.
EVERYONE so enjoyed the day.
The comments were; "this trip was so interesting and informathre", "we
never relllized there was such a peaceful place so close to Naples".
You were wonderful and it is greatly appreciated.
For my part, 1 too enjoyed it. However, 1 did feel that the Rod & Gun
Club looked shabby. It was heartbreaking to sec. Is something going on
there?
Sincerely,

Lisa Young, a fourth-grade
teacher at Vineyards Elemen-
tary School, said the exhibit
was fantastic for her students,
who are studying Florida his-
tory. .
"They are getting a lot out of
these stations," she said. "They
are involving the kids. They get
to feel and touch the alligator
skin, which was a big thing for
them. (The museum) has done
a great job."
At another exhibition area,
Ken Largin - a knife maker
from Tennessee - told students
about how the Calusa Indians
turned items, such as shells and
sticks, into hammers and other
tools.
"If you find a shell on the
beach like this, with a hole in
it and a point on the end, you
might have just found a tool that
was used by the ancient people,"
he said.
Southall said he hopes that
visitors to the exhibit leave with
a better understanding of how
the ancient people related to
their environment.
"I hope they get an apprecia-
tion for history, for the people
. who were here before us," he
said. "The early peoples were
able to exploit their environment
without damaging it. I think that
is an important lesson."
The exhibit will be open from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the
museum, 3301 Us. 41 E. There
is no charge for admission, hut

Golden Gate Elementary School
fourth-graders Anthony Pequeno and
Milaime Mortilus agreed.
The best thing they saw Friday
morning was the alligator skin.
"It was dried out and hard," said Anthony, 10. Vineyards Elementary School
fourth-grader Jenna Bainter disagreed.
"The Calusa Indian woman was really cool," she said. "We also learned how
to find artifacts."
Luckily, there was something for everyone as hundreds of local students
visited the Collier County Museum on Friday for the Archaeology and Ancient
Peoples Exhibition. The museum opened the exhibition exclusively for
students Friday and will open it to the publiC today.
The exhibition allows visitors to learn how archaeology has told historians
about the lives of the first Americans. Students had the opportunity to learn
how artifacts are identified, hear how the Calusa turned shells into tools,
discuss life in Florida with a Spanish conquistador, listen to Native American
stories and learn how to make baskets from native plants.
"Archaeology as a science has changed a lot in the last few years. It is not
just about finding artifacts. It is all about information," said David Southall,
curator of education.
At the Spanish fort on the museum's grounds, students learned what life in
Florida was like for a 16th Century conquistador, played by volunteer Richard
Lanni.
"I tell them that my buttons are copies from ones we have found in St.
Augustine. The pieces of my musket were found in Florida and Georgia. I try
to bring it to life," he said. "The object being that they appreciate the people
and the history. I want them to know what the people went though, what
their hopes were."
As they waited to go into the fort, students were allowed to try on a
conquistador helmet.
"It was kind of heavy and warm," said Victor Zuniga, 9. ''This is a very cool
field trip."
In a hut on another part of the grounds, White Turtle Woman, played by
Branford resident Wynne Tatman, spoke about the Calusa Indians. She told
students about how they lived and died.
"In about 200 years, every Indian got dead," she said. "Do you know how it
happened?"
Students guessed, but were right on the money when they mentioned the
conquistadors' arrival.
"Eight of every 10 Indians was killed by a horrible weapon - disease," she
said.
Lisa Young, a fourth-grade teacher at Vineyards Elementary School, said the
exhibit was fantastic for her students, who are studying Florida history.
"They are getting a lot out of these stations," she said. "They are involving
the kids. They get to feel and touch the alligator skin, which was a big thing

Standards Project Enters New Phase
After more than two years of work and thousands of volunteer hours, tbe development of AASLH's Standards Program for History
Museums, Historic HOllses, and History Organizations took an exciting step recently with the start of a pilot phase. Forty-seven
small- to mid-sized institutions from across the country are working with eleven service organizations to test the program's toolkit.
The toolkit includes standards, self-assessment questions, and best practices divided into six sections. The sections are manage-
ment, collections, historic structures and landscapes, audience, interpretation, and one section that covers mission, vision, and
governance. Teams of volunteer professionals created much of the toolkit. The three~year Standards project is funded by a grant
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The pilot phase continues through September 30. AASLH will launch the program to the field in mid-2009. The service providers
and pilot sites are:
Western Region: California Association of Museums
Agricultural History Project, Watsonville
Eastern California Museum, Independence

~ =d\4ANAGJ::ZV1J;:NT
'1 'his spring, a variety of institutions from ,lCross the country arc busy survcyingvisitors as part
of AASLH's PerfofmanceManagcmcntprogram. The program, developed in partnership
with the Center for NonprofitManagement of Nashville, helps museums and historic houses ~
implement positive change by learning more about visitor satisfaction and opinions.
l'hrongh Performance Management's proven visitor survey and its resulting report, participating institutions receive information
about what visitors want and need for a high quality visit, The instit11tions also receive benchmarks that allow them to compare their
survey results with museums of similar type, budget size, governance structure, and geographic location. Recently established
benchmark groups include military museums, state historical societies, and museums in the J\Tew England region. Benchmarking is
one of the top benefits of Performance Management according to past participants.
Institutions currently participating in Performance Management include:
Atlanta I-listoryCcntcr, Georgia
Cantigny First Division Museum, Illinois
Collier County Museums, Florida
Colorado Historical Society, Colorado
Idaho History Museum, Idaho
Museum of Florida History, Florida
Naper Settlement, Illinois
The New Castle Court IIouse, Delaware
New York State Nlilitary Museum, New York
The Old State House, Delaware
South C,lrolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, South Carolina
The fee for AASLH member institutions to take pan in the Performance lvlanagement program is $3,500 (the fee for non-members
is $4,200). Af\SLH's payment plan allows many museums to pay the fec over tv/o fiscal years.
Registration is now open for the visitor survey group that begins] une 1. The next Education survey group, which collects informa-
tion and data from teachers and students who attend an onsite program, begins in August. Registration for that program is open nm\'
as well. For more information about Performance Management, contact Cherie Cook at cook@aaslh.orgorat573-893-5164..More

HISTORIC
TAMIAMI TRAIL
TURNS 80
THIS MONTH,

Barron Collier, our county's founder and name-
sake, was the guiding force behind the trail's con-
struction and was dually responsible for putting
much of Florida, especially Collier County, on the
map. His goal was to transform the "wild country,"
that land surveyors of the day deemed "nearly all
prairies with numerous grass ponds and a few fertile
hammocks," into "a place where people will enjoy
life." The completion of the innovative road was just
the beginning of Collier's dream realized.
The trail, running from Tampa to Naples and
eastward across the Everglades to Miami, (hence the
name Tamiami) opened on April 26, '928. Now, after
80 prosperous years, the Tamiami-8o Committee will
honor Collier's rail by reenacting the famed opening
ceremony on April 26, 2008.
Weekend festivities include alligator wrestling,
Indian dancing, a parade and an exhibition booth
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday April 26 in Ever-
glades City. On Sunday, April 27, the Museum of
the Everglades celebrates its 10th birthday with
cake and story telling about past times.

EnIToRIAL&OPINION
TAMIAMI TRAIL
Anniversary worth noting
Something truly remarkable, and something most of us
probably take for granted, will be celebrated this weekend
in Everglades City. History buffs will mark the 80th anni-
versary of the completion of the fina/link of the Tamiami
Trail - now more widely known as U.S. 41 - connecting
Tampa and Miami.
The Trail truly put our area on the tourism map - and
helped tourists get here.
In an era of pioneering and engineering feats. the Trail
earns a special niche in history for plowing through swamp
and rock minus modern machinery - and air conditioning
and mosquito control.
It is a plus for history buffs that the achievement was
spearheaded by our modern-day county's namesake, Bar-
ron G. Collier.
So, there will be plenty to see -- and eat and dance to, we're
sure - when Everglades City throws its big party.
The festivities Saturday and Sunday will be worth a look.
You know which road to take to get there.

Tamiami Trail
(~()llti/1ueJ.fJnI111A
Hoffman was 26 years old and moved along
with his wife from Fort Myers to work as an
electrician for Barron Gift Collier. Hoffman's
brothers were already carpenters employed
by Collier. At the time, the New York indus-
trialist was finishing up the construction of
the single longest and hardest stretch of the
Trail, dynamiting, hacking and swatting his
way through the Everglades to complete what
would become a 275-mile stretch of roadway
connecting Tampa and Miami - hence the
name "Tamiami,"
For his trouble, Collier got some value for
the huge swath ofland he owned and had the
county named after him. For his trouble, Hoff-
man got a job in a booming company town and
a life for his wife and five children.
"It's not just about my grandfather," said Bar-
ron "Barry" Collier III, 50, who will be reading
a speech of his namesake during anniversary
celebrations this weekend in Everglades City.
"It's about all these people who ma(le this
dream come to a reality."
Everglades City was built to house many of
Collier's workers. Until it was ravaged by Hur-
ricane Donna in 1960, the town was the county
seat and main site for commerce. Daniels and
Parker benefitted from the trolley, buses and
well-done landscaping.
"We didn't even feel the Depression in
Everglades City," Parker said. "Dad always
said, 'That little town just kept on, keeping
on.' This was a company town and Collier
took care-of it."
Their father worked in the town for 15 years
before going to Copeland to run its power
plant. Every afternoon in Everglades City, he
would go around and turn on transformers so
the street lights would burn. When Hoffman
could get away from his job - and he wasn't
really supposed to leave the town - he en-
joyed turkey hunting off the TraiL
Things are a little different in Everglades
City today, but the Trail, at least between
Naples and Miami, hasn't changed that much,
Daniels and Parker said, There wasn't com-
merce along that stretch then, and there isn't
really any now.
The Trail is familiar to the sisters and re-
minds them how much they enjoyed growing
up in the town. That's the case, despite the
mosquito swarms so thick they were afraid
to open their mouths on the way to the movie
theater,
Years ago, when the family visited relatives
in Fort Myers, they came back on the Trail.
They called it the "homestretch" when they
saw the light on Everglades City's water tower
and smelled the mangrove mud as Naples
turned into their hometown,
"I guess it's those memories," Parker said,
"that brought me back here to live."
Honoring the Tamiami Trail
This weekend the Museum of the Everglades, Collier County
Museums and City of Everglades City will honor the 80th
anniversary of the opening of the Tamiami Trail, which

Celebration
Continued from 1 B
tossed out during the parade.
More than 30 antique cars of
the Naples-Marco Island Re-
gion Antique Automobile Club
of America Naples, cyclists
witb the Naples Pathways
Coalition, a live jazz band and
floats of Scout Troop 2001,
Troop 243 and Pack 215 trav-
eled along the streets.
Alex, of Golden Gate, was
at the event with his family
cheering his brother, Zachary,
who was participating in the
parade with the Scout Pack 215
float.
"It's fun," Alex's mother,
Shari Palacios, said. "I like the
small-town atmosphere." .
Palacios added that the pa-
rade could have used a march-
ing band.
Alex said he likes parades
because of the candy and the
noise.
Event organizers were
pleased with the turnout.
Following the parade, an
opening ceremony was held
in front of historic Everglades
City Hall, attracting about 100
guests.
Everglades City Mayor
Sammy Hamilton and Collier
County Commissioner Jim
Coletta thanked many people
Saturday for their involvement
in Tamiami Trail, one of the
most ambitious projects in
Florida's history.
"Barron Collier set the pace
for the community we live in
today," Coletta told the crowd,
referring to the county's
namesake.
Among attendees were U.S.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Mi-
ami, Stanley Cann, district sec-
retary of the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation and
some members of the county
government staff.
In front of a building that
was restored after Hurricane
Wilma, Diaz-Balart told the
crowd that he plans to contin-
ue to work for improvements
on the Trail and Everglades
restoration.
"This is a community that
doesn't forget its history,"
Diaz-Balart said.
Cann told the crowd that
the total cost of the 275-mile
stretch of roadway connecting
Tampa and Miami was
$7 million.
Cann said Collier County
was the only county celebrat-
ing the Trail's anniversary.
During the celebration, Bar-
ron "Barry" Collier III read a
speech his grandfather gave on
April 25, 1928, noting the hard
work of many for the magnifi-
cent road completion.
"The Tamiami Trail is
finished. The impo~sible has
been accomplished," Collier
read. "It couldn't be done, but
Florida did it,"
The crowd cheered.
Among other attendees were
Collier Undersheriff Kevin
Rambosk, county museums
director Ron Jamro and James
Brown, grandson of Daniel
and Lucy McLeod.
The ceremony concluded
with the unveiling of the
McLeod monument in honor
of Daniel W. McLeod, who was
mayor of the town from 1923
until 1959, and his wife, Lucy,
located at the McLeod Park
across the street from City
Hall.
Festivities continued into
the day, with live music, about
35 exhibition and food ven-
dors and birtJ,day cake in the
McLeod Park.
The celebration continues
today at the McLeod Park,
starting at 10 a.m.

Arita Parker, right, who was born in Everglades City in the 1930s, tells stories about the town Sunday at the Museum of the
Everglades as part of the final day of festivities in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Tamiami Trail. Parker and her sister 8arbara
Daniels, left, and June Jolley Dyches, second from right, spoke about the history of the town to a group of about 20. The Tamiami
Trail opened April 25, 1928, aft~r five years of construction. Lexey Swall-Bobay/Stalf

Everglades. .
Parker, her sister Barbara Dan-
iels and Marco Island resident
June Jolley Dyches spoke for about
an hour. And as they talked, black
and white photos flashed across a
screen. Each building had a story,
and Parker laugbed as she spoke
into the microphone to tell each
tale.
Among the stories were one of
Deaconess Harriet Bedell, who in
2006 was nominated for sainthood
by the Episcopal Church.
Bedell, born in Buffalo in 1875, is
best known for her work with the
Miccosukee Indian tribe. Bedell
caple to Everglades City in 1932
and stayed until i960 when Hur-
ricane Donna whipped through the
town. The storm condemned her
home, destroying everything she
owned. After years of missionary
work, Bedell gave up her active life
and moved into a home for retired
Episcopalians after the hurricane.
Bedell died Jan. 8, 1969.
"Thank you for keeping the
memory of her alive where she
lived and worked," said Jack Geist,
a member of the vestry and out-
reach committee at 51. Stephen's
Church in Coconut Grove.
Geist is one of several St.
Stephen's congregates who spear-
headed the campaign to canonize
Bedell.
"She was a fantastic lady, but not
the best driver," Parker joked as
she told a story about Bedell.
Daniels laughed as Marya Repko,
an event volunteer, discussed
Bedell's lush garden.
"You dare not walk thrQug!:) her
backyard," Daniels did.
Geist on Sunday told Everglades ',;
City residents that their de3:t\0Iiessq.'l:1~",,:'-L,\,'
will officially be on lhe Episcopal r '
calendar of saints in 2009.
Sunday's event marked the eqd
of a two-'day'celebration honor-
ing the 80th anniyersary of the
Tamiami Trail, also known as U.S.
41. The Trail opened April 25, 1928,
after five years of construction.
The project, which was headed
by Barron Gift Collier, the coun-
ty's namesake, put Everglades City
on the map after Collier built a
town there for his employees.

TAMIAMI TRAil
'From every bend of their weary backs'
Editor's note: This is the origi-
nal text of a speech first delivered
in Everglades City 80 years ago
for the opening of the Tamiami
Trail. The speech was given by
Barron G. Collier, who built that
final section of road. The same
speech was re-read last weekend
in the same location by a grand-
son, Barron Collier Ill, as part of
an historic celebration:
Today the eyes of the world
are focused on Florida.
And the world sees the com-
pletion of the greatest highway
that this splendid peninsula
has ever possessed; not only
its value to the millions of visi-
tors who will use it, but to the
entire population of Southeast
Florida. A wholesome feeling of
gratitude predominates in the
minds of those who know, and
these have a feeling of admira-
tion and thankfulness for the
governor of this great com.rr.on-
wealth. the chairman of the state
road department and our corps
of masterful engineers. They
performed what first seemed
a nebulous dream but which
is now a vital accomplishment
linking the Atlantic to the Gulf
and Stretl;hing a belt of granite
highway for the 273 miles be-
tween the wonder city of lvli-
ami and the busy metropolis
of Tampa.
These men, I know, gladly join
me, here and now, in paying
homage to that vast army of
workers who, with pick, shovel
and dynamite, literally blasted
this magnificent road through

From every bend of their wea-

their mighty shoulders, sprang
some new segment uf this beau-
tiful trail.
That which we look upon tu-
day is but a great mosaic made
up of these segments.
To those workers, and their
number was legion, we pay sin-
cere tribute. .
And to that tireless, efficient,
persevering chief engineer, D.

personal direction these men
labored, all Florida owes a last-
