WHAT THEY ARE SAYING...

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING... ~Leaders applaud Gov. Scott's Florida Families First Budget on Environmental Protection~ Eric Draper, Executive Director of Audubon Florida "This is really good news on both fronts. It's the first time in several years that we will see over $130 million in potential funding for both these programs(Florida Forever and Everglades)." "It feels like we have turned a corner with Governor Scott. This budget seems to be a good environmental budget." "It's starting to put environmental spending back on track where it used to be. Gov. Scott is starting to make the environment a priority. This does seem like a different Gov. Scott. We're seeing his office listening more." Eric Eikenberg, Everglades Foundation Chief Executive Officer “We strongly support his recommendation to provide $60 million for Everglades restoration. We appreciate the governor’s commitment to Everglades restoration and we believe the Florida Legislature will more than match his recommendation.” David Mica, Executive Director of the Florida Petroleum Council "It's very positive. I think it represents the commitment of the governor to the drinking water and groundwater of the state." Florida Forever Coalition “The governor’s Florida Forever budget recommendation is a positive step forward for Florida. His $75 million recommendation puts Florida Forever back on the right track. With the economy recovering, it is important to allocate funds to preserve our state’s natural areas and protect the places that make Florida special. We look forward to working alongside the governor this legislative session to advocate for the appropriation of funds for Florida Forever.”

TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Park Service is proud to host many historical and cultural events this month in recognition of Black History Month and Viva Florida 500. Florida State Parks will commemorate their role in African-American history through reenactments of key battles, educational displays and interactive programs. These activities will bring history to life and set the stage for a fun, educational family outing. “Creating educational opportunities about our significant historical resources is an important part of the state park mission to provide resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources,” said Donald Forgione, DEP’s Florida Park Service Director. “Florida’s state parks and trails provide an exceptional look into our past that shaped our great state as we know it today.” Florida is rich in African-American history and Florida State Parks tell the stories of daily life, traditions and turning points in American history. Florida’s state parks are home to Civil War battle grounds where African-American regiments fought against Confederate soldiers at the 1864 Battle of Olustee, as well sites along the Underground Railroad like the lighthouse at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne, listed as a site on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. America’s first free black settlement is located in Florida at Fort Mose Historic State Park, where escaped slaves took refuge in the 1700s. Many of Florida's state parks and trails offer an educational look at history and culture. Some offer valuable lessons for African American History Month, Native American history and more, all of which are commemorated during Viva Florida 500. African-American History Events include: Fort Mose Historic State Park in St. Augustine is the site of the first legally sanctioned free African settlement in what is now the United States.

The Historic Santos Park is located on Cross Florida Greenway land that was acquired as part of the 1930’s Cross Florida Ship Canal project when a sea-level ship canal was planned and started to connect shipping from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Johns River and Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville. Native-American History Events include: On Saturday & Sunday, Feb. 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., enjoy Fort Foster Days as military, Seminole and civilian reenactors portray life from the Second Seminole War period at Fort Foster Historic Site, which is part of Hillsborough River State Park, just north of Tampa.

Viva Florida 500 Every week in 2013, the Florida Park Service will highlight a significant event or milestone that happened in a state park or associated with a state park on a new web page called, “Viva Florida 500 – History Notes.” At this web page, visitors can learn about Florida’s heritage through state parks and then experience it in real life by visiting that particular state park. The first weekend of February is jam-packed with history at Florida's state parks. From Plow Days at Dudley Farm Historic State Park (Newberry) on Feb. 1 & 2 and the Plantation Festival at Judah P. Benjamin Confederate Memorial at Gamble Plantation Historic State Park (Ellenton) on Feb. 2 & 3 to the Candlelight Tour at Torreya State Park (Bristol) and the Maritime Archaeology program at Anastasia State Park (St. Augustine) on Feb. 2, there's lots to learn and experience.

This is just a sample of the many history focused events being held this month throughout the state.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 28, 2013 CONTACT: DEP Press Office, 850.245.2112, DEPNews@dep.state.fl.us FLORIDA PARK SERVICE RECOGNIZES PRESCRIBED FIRE AWARENESS WEEK ~Controlled burning is an important tool for natural resource management~ State Park staff conducts a prescribed burn at Rock Springs Run State Reserve in Sorrento. TALLAHASSEE –The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Park Service is observing Prescribed Fire Awareness Week from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2. Prescribed fires mimic naturally occurring fires and can help prevent devastating wildfires. Park staff, guided by detailed plans called prescriptions, conduct prescribed burns as a regular and important part of their land management activities in state parks and trails. Prescribed fire is a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk. Many state parks and trails will be conducting prescribed burns in the coming months. “Prescribed fire is a safe way to reduce hazardous fuels on Florida’s forest lands and prevent devastating wildfires,” said Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Adam Putnam. “With help from our partners, including the Florida Park Service, Florida is the nation’s leader in prescribed fires, burning more than 2.3 million acres of agricultural and natural lands annually.” Florida habitats evolved under the influence of fire over thousands of years. Before there were roads, canals or big cities, lightning-set fires swept across Florida’s landscape. Native Americans also set fires to improve the land for hunting and gathering food. “As a state-certified burn manager, I know that good fires prevent bad ones,” said DEP’s Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione.“We are proud to partner with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Florida Forest Service as well as other public and private organizations in conducting prescribed fires that protect and rejuvenate our natural resources while also protecting our communities from wildfire.” Fire plays a critical role in sustaining many of the earth’s ecosystems. Many of Florida’s ecosystems are fire-adapted systems that require frequent prescribed fire to maintain these natural areas in good health. Prescribed fire also protects state park neighbors from the threat of uncontrolled wildfires by reducing potential fuel for wildfires. Prescribed burning mimics natural fire cycles to restore natural communities, reduces undergrowth that accumulates over time and decreases the potential for wildfire. Burned lands experience an increase in native wildflowers, birds and other wildlife. Prescribed fires are only conducted by highly trained and professional staff and only when weather conditions are suitable. To learn more about the role of prescribed fire, visit www.goodfires.org.

Luncheon To Honor Representative Joe Garcia (D Fl. 26)

January 30^th, 2013

Press Release

Venezuelan American Democratic Clubs

Of Miami Dade and Broward Counties

We are proud to announce a

Luncheon To Honor Representative Joe Garcia (D Fl. 26)

When:          Wednesday January 30^th 2013

Time:           11:30am – 2:00pm

Where:         Café Abracci

318 Aragon

                    Coral Gables, Fl

This luncheon is being held because of our gratitude to Joe Garcia for his support to the Venezuelan American Community in South Florida and pride of our work to help elect him as the first Hispanic American Democrat from Miami Dade County to represent us in the US Congress.

Congressman Garcia has expressed the notion that Venezuelan Americans are a distinct group of Hispanics, a community with our own needs and interests that need to be represented. He has pledged to represent us as such and not to “use” the Venezuelan American community as a means of attacking the Castro regime in Cuba.

We wish to express our deep gratitude to the Congressman for his reassurance to our community and to wish him the very best in his new role of a US Congressman.
