According to the Collier County Attorney’s office notice to the County Commissioners, “the four year long Smallwood litigation has been resolved in favor of the County and the Smallwood family. In an agreed-upon Final Judgment … the Developer has agreed that Mamie Street is a publicly dedicated roadway, with the County and the Smallwood family accepting this newly paved road ‘as is.’" As a publicly dedicated roadway, neither the Smallwood Store nor Florida Georgia Grove will have to maintain the road; it will be county’s responsibility. Also, the public will be able to continue to use the road, as it has for nearly a hundred years. Lynn McMillin says she is very appreciative for all the support the community has given her family and the museum over the past four years. Under the Final Judgment “…all claims which could have been raised by the parties in this lawsuit, are hereby dismissed with prejudice, with each party to bear its or their own respective attorneys’ fees and costs.” So, the Smallwood Store is responsible for the debt it incurred in fighting for the road to remain public and accessible. The Everglades Society for Historic Preservation will continue to assist the historic store in its fundraising efforts. FAMILY QUILTING TRADITION by Dayna Fendrick (first in a two-part series about the historic quilt by Dayna) Growing up as a kid in Oklahoma, I got to spend most summers with my grandparents, in a small farming town in the western part of the state, much like Everglades City in that there were about 500 residents. Like the town of Everglade, it was the county seat with the County Courthouse in the center of town ringed by stores & merchants. Once we got the gardening & chores done, every day I would walk “uptown” to fetch the mail from the Post Office and stop in at the Drug Store for a soda. My Grandmother was a prolific quilter and took part in the “quilting circle,” going to different ladies’ homes to quilt the project in the frame at the time. They all quilted by hand. During the long winter evenings in rural Oklahoma, there was not much to do so Grandma had the quilting frame set up in the living room most of the time. I got to watch and learn how to sew, crochet and embroider from her. My other Grandmother, on Dad’s side, also did a lot of needlework and was very accomplished at crochet, knitting and tatting. Dad also got into quilting, once he was retired and was looking for something to do. Or rather, Mom was looking for something for him to do to keep him out of her hair! Dad had always been able to sketch, so he took to freehand quilting pretty quickly. They now have a cottage industry in their basement, where Mom does sewing & piecing and Dad does the quilting (Milton & Fae Wells pictured above). He takes in to be continued.… quilting work from several clients throughout the area. If you have news, photos, announcements, or articles ... email [email protected] or phone 695-2397.

We had more than 50 people attend and our sponsors were fantastic. It was truly a community effort with several of the local restaurants contributing in a variety of ways. The Aquafest will enable us to send our students on educational fieldtrips that are related to this classroom and allow us to purchase items to expand and improve on our lab. Planning for next year’s Aquafest is already underway! We are all well aware that April is a busy testing month for our staff and students. However, we are always doing more than testing. On April 14 we have the privilege of hosting a School Board meeting in our cafeteria at 5:00 p.m. Then on the 16th we get to host the girls’ softball district championship game. We wish our girls the very best as they move on in the state tournaments. On the 17th Dr. Carper and Mr. Patt will be taking a group of our elementary students to sing the national anthem at a Fort Myers Miracle baseball game. The weekend of April 24 is a busy one for us. On the 24th we have all K – 5 students going to the Lee County Civic Center to enjoy the circus. Then on the evening of the 24th our seniors get to celebrate their last year with Grad Bash at Busch Gardens in Tampa. We will follow up these two events with our Junior/Senior Prom on April 25. In closing, I would like to once again thank all of our community members for tremendous support throughout this school year. It does take a Village to Educate a Child!

The response was a real surprise to me. When we were growing up, times were not of the best. Money was spent wisely and you always went to bed with something in your stomach. For breakfast if we had any rice left over from supper Mom would save it in the ice box for in the morning to be served with sugar and milk. For school lunch you brown bagged it and brought the bag home for another day. By the end of the school week, it was soaked with grease stains and use. A sign of some good things, you took what your Mother made for you. Leftovers were not uncommon; my favorite was a fried potato sandwich, sometimes we had some boiled potatoes left over or Mom planned it that way. She would slice and fry the potato and place it on bread with mayo, and you had some good trading material when lunch time rolled around. You also had a nickel for milk that day. Sometimes the other kids would ask what you had to trade for their sandwich; I always liked to swap for a peanut and jelly sandwich. Sometimes you would just share your lunch with someone less fortunate than you; that was always a good feeling and was the way we were raised. We didn't have much but we were raised country and love of family. Chester Keene is a retired law enforcement officer and Florida native. He retains the copyright to this article.

Scott says this about the Cinnamon Bark: “It is salt and drought resistant, but having grown in plastic pots, they do like to have some water from time to time. Mature height is approximately 30 feet, but it is slow to grow. It is a native tree found in the Florida Keys but was almost made extinct by plant collectors during the 1960s and 1970s. It can also be found in the Bahamas and other Caribbean locations. It has a red berry in November and December and propagation is by seed. It is a wonderful tree for birds and requires little to no care once established.” Thank you, Scott, for your generous donation to beautify our Everglades area. Canella, the diminutive of the Latin canna, a cane or reed, was first applied to the bark of the Old World tree cassia, Cinnamomum aromaticum, from the form of a roll or quill which it assumed in drying. Winterana is an artifact from a period when this plant was confused with Winter's bark which was named for William Winter. Panther Deaths The remains of a 1-yr-old radio-collared male Florida panther (FP237) were collected on March 30 in Audubon’s Corkscrew Sanctuary. The cause of death was intraspecific aggression. On April 3 the remains of a 3-4 year old uncollared male Florida panther (UCFP239) were collected on I-75 (Alligator Alley) 1.1 miles east of the tollbooth. The cause of death was vehicle collision. The carcasses of both were sent to the FWC Gainesville lab for necropsy. This is the 9th Florida Panther road mortality and 14th Florida panther mortality overall for 2015. Please be watchful and adhere to speed limits in wildlife areas in southwest Florida. Visit www.floridapanthernet.org for info. Burmese Pythons Study Nearly 80% of radio-tracked marsh rabbits that died in Everglades National Park were eaten by Burmese pythons, according to the University of Florida and U.S. Geological Survey researchers. A year later, there was no sign of a rabbit population in the study area. To conduct the most recent study, researchers found areas outside of the park that supported large and healthy populations of marsh rabbits. They moved 31 marsh rabbits into select areas in two experimental populations. They also put 15 rabbits in the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and another 49 in Fakahatchee Strand State Park, where they knew there would be few, if any, pythons ─ and used those as control sites. All of the rabbits were equipped with radio-collars so that they could be regularly located. The researchers found that 77% of those that died in the Everglades were eaten by Burmese pythons, and that there was no sign of a rabbit population in the areas where they released them in the park one year later. On the other hand, rabbits remained common at the control site after the experiment. The study was published online on March 18 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Academy B.

The invasion of the Cuban treefrog is a case study in what happens when an interloper that is a prolific breeder enters a new environment through human commercial activity. First identified in the Florida Keys in the 1920s, this frog is now found throughout Florida and is rapidly moving into Georgia and the Carolinas, as well as westward toward the Texas coast. The Cuban treefrog spreads not only via ornamental plants, but also by motorized vehicles, trailered boats, and many other unusual methods. This spread is devastating to the indigenous frogs because the Cuban treefrog grows to twice the size of both the green and squirrel treefrogs and is capable of eating them. Furthermore, the Cuban treefrog tadpole is a superior competitor to native tadpoles, causing even more pressure on the indigenous species. It also appears to be negatively impacting certain smaller fish in the locales it has moved into. The situation has become so dire that Dr. Steve Johnson, assistant professor of urban wildlife ecology at the University of Florida, wrote an article in which he instructs homeowners on how to euthanize and dispose of all the Cuban treefrogs they might encounter around their homes. The recommended method is to catch the frogs using a plastic bag and freeze them. The Cuban treefrog readily gets into homes and condominiums, swims in toilets, can be found under sinks, has been known to short out electrical boxes, and generally wreaks havoc on the environment. Studies are now under way to explore the use of biological or chemical deterrents to halt or at least slow the continued spread of this invasive species. The Cuban treefrog eats a wide variety of insects, but has also been known to consume Indo-Pacific geckos, green and brown anoles, and bird eggs, as well as some smaller hatchlings. It has become the prey of choice for yellow rat, coral, and corn snakes and is heavily preyed upon by rodents. You should always take care in handling the Cuban treefrog as its skin secretes a sticky substance that is extremely irritating to the mucous membranes of humans, such as the eyes, ears, and nose. People with allergies are especially vulnerable, and recovery from contact with a Cuban treefrog may take several hours. Although it has not been documented to be responsible in any dog or cat deaths, pets should be kept away from this potentially harmful frog. Given its ability to adapt and thrive in urban environments, the Cuban treefrog battle will probably end with the frog winning. Photo by Eric B.

Hamilton by George Hamilton Continued from the March 27th issue . . . ... Then there were some mounds that were also meant to be avoided; mounds that were built by the “Ancient Ones,” a tribe that dates back over 2,000 yrs. In the Islands, one such mound is known as Gopher Key: a large complex of mounds, parts as high as 35+ feet, with hand-dug rings of canals and small burial mounds in between the canals, all of which is a manmade shell island in the shape of a gopher tortoise with its feet being 4 intersecting creeks in the middle of a salt marsh. Eventually, Chevalier found out about Gopher Key, a large mound where the Indians held special ceremonies. R.E. didn’t really want him to see it. It, too, had a lot of bad spirits, powerfully bad Spirits and a lot of weird things happened to ALOT of family members at Gopher Key. In the late 1880s R.E. sold his rights to Chatham Bend to Chevalier and moved his family to Possum Key, a few miles inland of the bend and, coincidentally, real close to one of the entrances to Gopher Key. They didn’t stay there very long either. The skeeters were God awful and surrounded by mangroves; there was no breeze. Chevalier had found out about its proximity to Gopher Key, so he happily bought it from R.E. With the family in tow, R.E. then moved to an island outside the mouth of Chatham River. It, too, was used by the Indians. Since it was an outside island, the Indians built a ring, approximately 50 yards around, by piling clam and oyster shells. They left a gap of about 6 ft. for a woven gate, turning the shallow pond into a fish trap. Mullet, as well as other fish, swim in a school travelling the shore of the islands with the tide. The Indians would weave a wing out from the gap, usually made from palm and palmetto fronds and stems. When the fish swam into the wing they would just turn and follow it thru the gap and into the pond. The Indians also used the island as a ‘culling station’ for cleaning and sorting the clam shells and conch shells that they’d use to build mounds and lay them in rows around certain islands down at the low-tide line..... to be continued… George now lives in Hastings, Florida.

Ivey Marjorie Elizabeth (Ivey) Davis died on Feb. 24, 2015, after a three-year battle with lung disease. She was 81 years old. Marjorie was born and raised in the Ivey House. She was a daughter of Agnes and Earl Ivey. Her sister, Dorothy Ann Miller, lives in Plantation Island with her husband, Captain Bill Miller. Marjorie graduated from what was then known as Everglades High School. She briefly attended the University of Florida where she met her future husband, Norm Davis, a broadcaster. They had two children, Patti and Art. Their marriage ended in divorce after 47 years. Her children came to Everglades City at least twice a year for their entire lives. They loved it -- and still do. For nearly four decades, Marjorie lived in Miami, where she collected many friends and loved playing and watching tennis. She was a fantastic cook and a loving mom. She loved bringing her kids back to Everglades. Her daughter, Patti Davis Mahoney, and son-in-law, Dan Mahoney, live in the Washington D.C. area. She has one grandson, Danny Davis Mahoney. Her son, Art Davis, and his wife Melissa, live in Phoenix AZ. Marjorie was buried on March 7, 2015, near her mother and her two nieces, at Naples Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation at P.O. Box 46, Everglades City, FL 34139.

Check Out These IRS Tax Tips Many people who carry on a trade or business are self-employed. Landscapers, fishing guides, and contractors are examples of selfemployment. A few basic things about how your income affects your federal tax return: • You must file a Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or Schedule C-EZ, Net Profit from Business, with your Form 1040. • Deductions. You can deduct expenses you paid to run your business that are both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your industry. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and proper for your trade or business. • In most cases, you can deduct expenses in the same year you paid for them, or incurred them. However, you must ‘capitalize’ some costs. This means you can deduct part of the cost over a number of years. • SE Income. You may have to pay self-employment tax as well as income tax if you made a profit. Selfemployment tax includes Social Security and Medicare taxes. Use Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax, to figure the tax. • Estimated Tax. People typically make these payments on income that is not subject to withholding. You usually pay this tax in four installments for each year. If you do not pay enough tax throughout the year, you may owe a penalty. What’s Happening in the Everglades City Area From Savannah’s Eyes Every spring at Florida Southwestern State College the chemistry class of Dr. McGarity hosts a festival called “Green Fest” where the students create projects on sustainability, and this year my chemistry class is partaking in it! Our professor gave us all examples and ideas for the fest that sounded interesting to do, though I had my mind set on making homemade all-natural hair treatments. For the past few weeks my hair has been dull and frizzy, and I’ve been meaning to put a heavy conditioner on it. Well, what better way than to make your own; see how it works on you and then tell people about it! This was the perfect project for me to display! So I went online and got three recipes, one for frizzy hair, one for sun-damaged hair (which a lot of people in Florida might want to look into), and the last one was for itchy scalp. My mom and I went to the store and bought the ingredients we needed for all three (which you might actually find a few if not all of them in your very own kitchen), and then we bought 30 bottles to put the treatments into and a poster board to display my information at Green Fest. My professor thought my project was a great idea and said she couldn’t wait to see it at the fest! Green Fest is in only a few days, and I can’t wait to give away my samples and teach people how to make their own all-natural hair treatments! But, while I still have the recipes fresh in my mind, let me give you one of the recipes. For Sun-Damaged hair: • ½ Cup of honey • 1 or 2 TBS avocado Savannah Oglesby is a senior at Everglades City School and a regular contributor to the Rapper. SHERIFF’S REPORT Sometime between Saturday, March 21, at 7 pm and Sunday, March 22, at 11 am, a victim advised that persons unknown removed unsecured property from a boat that was docked at 803 Collier Avenue in Everglades City. Taken from the boat were life vests along with 4 fishing rods and reels. Some of the missing rod and reels combinations were: *2- Okuma St. Croix 7 feet, 1-Penn Level Wind 6 feet, *1-Penn Ugly Stick 7 Feet. Should you have any further information on this theft, please contact the Collier County Sheriff’s Office at 252-9300. Please help prevent marine thefts from occurring by always remembering to remove fishing equipment from boats when they are not occupied. Over the last 2 months we have had 3 reported thefts of fishing equipment left unattended on boats during the night time hours. Chokoloskee Playground Pastor Lynnette Morris and the Chokoloskee Church of God are pleased to announce the completion of the youth’s playground.

April 10, 2015 To the Ends of the Earth On Sunday, March 28, bicyclists from around the country rode into Everglades City from Naples on their way to Key West. They began their adventure in Ft. Myers. This annual event brings together like-minded Christians to raise funds and awareness for global youth ministry. The 2015 ride secured support for three Missions in India. The cyclists were generously provided accommodations at Holy Family Catholic Church and Everglades Community Church. For more information, visit their website www.endscycling.com.
