Lead singer and song writer Nicholas Adkins' father is a familiar face around the Everglades City area. Members of the four piece band have been making music since they were in kindergarten. The quartet has appeared at many European festivals of alternativerock and has released an album “Open Eyes” (available on Amazon) but they really got their big start doing USO shows (Ramstein Airbase is nearby) for US military returning from deployments in Iraq and other hostile places.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), and lightly grease a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. 2. In a medium bowl, combine butter, eggs, corn bread mix, whole and creamed corn and sour cream. Spoon mixture into prepared dish. 3. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. Every time I go by this old tractor, it keeps slowly sinking back into the soil where it sits today. For so many years it was used to make a living for my Uncle R. C. Keene who lived in Arcadia, Fl., working his orange grove. When I was a kid and had summer vacation, this is the place I wanted to be, next to the old wooden floor home we had with a wood burning stove till it was replaced by a kerosene or coal oil two burner one. Life was simple one might say by today means. We all survived on food we grew and animals and chickens we raised. Dad picked oranges and hunted rabbits which were sold to a Chicago Market and snakes for the canning plant in Arcadia. He also caught some snakes for Ross Allen's Reptile Garden. He made a tractor from an old Model A Ford he cut down. Back then they called them "Skeeters;" they were the forerunners to Swamp Buggies today. We had plenty to eat, sometimes we didn't know what kind of meat it was because Mama would cook it with spices to cover the taste. She, when asked would tell us it was "Poor Joe" eat a lot of that stuff. Anyway my Uncle R.C. was working in his grove and had a stroke and fell off the tractor. It sits not too far from this picture of me on the trailer and him driving it. He was a great man and as good a friend you could want. Chester Keene is a retired law enforcement officer and Florida native.

Patty Huff Off the Shelf - Book Review "Calusa; Warriors from an Ancient Past" by Rick Magers reviewed by Marya Repko Rick's new historical novel starts in frozen Siberia and ends up on the Gulf coast, spanning thousands of years, as it traces the wanderings of the native tribe we now call the Calusa. The sub-title hints at some of their struggles along the way. Like most people who migrate to Florida, this group is in search of a warmer climate as they cross the land bridge from Russia to America and make the journey southward, much of it in canoes along the west coast (now California and central America) until they find a river leading to the Caribbean. They eventually end up in Cuba from which they venture north to the Keys and then Charlotte Harbor. Along the way, they encounter other natives and when they settle, they invite local tribes to join them under a united leadership. All is well until relatively recently (500 years ago) when Europeans bring deadly diseases to which they have no immunity. The author, a Florida-born fisherman, donates the profits from his writing to local causes via his publishing company Grizzly Bookz (www.grizzlybookz.net). His output is prodigious: semi-autobiographical fiction, westerns, short stories. One must-read book for locals is Ghosts of Chokoloskee (reviewed in the Rapper, 5/9/14) featuring familiar historical characters. He can be found selling and signing his works most days in season at the Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee. Some of the books are also available on Amazon and at the Collier County Public Library. Everglades Book Club The Everglades Book Club meets the 3rd Thursday of each month with the following books scheduled for discussion. Books for the next season will be submitted at the February 19 meeting which will be held at the ORA Recreation Hall (upstairs) in Chokoloskee. Thursday, February 19: The Leopard by Guiseppe di Lampedusa Thursday, March 19: A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout & Sara Corbett Thursday, April 2: A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith x x x PAGE 7 x x x www.evergladesmulletrapper.com The MULLET RAPPER What’s Happening in the Everglades City Area JANUARY 30, 2015 Living Gulf Coast February Fishing Report by Captain Mike Merritt by Charles Sobczak February is always a great time of year. If the trend continues, the big Seatrout will be extremely active on the grass flats. You may have to move around a lot on those flats to find the fish but they will be there. Be aware of the bottom when doing this; after all you don't want to destroy the very thing holding the fish. This is a great way to have a relaxing day fishing especially for the kids. A popping cork and live shrimp will be your best bet. You will catch Pompano, Mackerel, Bluefish, Ladyfish and Jacks too. Redfish will be mostly undersized fish this time of year. Fish around the oyster bars, dead wood, and mangrove roots on the incoming tide. A popping cork and shrimp will do it here also. If the action is slow, try a knocker rig on the bottom to see if they are being lazy. This will also produce Black Drum, Sheepshead and the occasional Snook. Working the shoreline on the trolling motor can be the most productive method. When you locate a fish, try that spot again and you may be surprised to find several fish in a small area. Mangrove snapper will be abundant in the rivers. Fish the deep holes with shrimp. If it is Snook you are after, this is a great time to fish the backcountry. The head waters of any of the rivers is a great place to start. I prefer to use lures for this but the same shrimp on a cork will work. The key is to make accurate casts. Fish close to the mangroves. A good lure to fish and one that I have great success with is the DOA Shrimp. White is a good bet right now. Also any suspension lures or even jerk baits rigged weedless. Fishing in the back bays and creeks can also be very productive. Finding an area that has good structure and current will be most productive. The further back you go into the backcountry you will narrow it down to more Snook than any other species. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule but once you get into the fresh water you want to fish strictly artificials. Whatever you decide to do this month it is a great time of year with mild weather so get out and enjoy! (The Living Gulf Coast is available at the Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center) Capt. Mike Merritt was born in Coral Gables, spent 2 1/2 years in Australia as a child, moved back to Miami, then to Everglades City where he graduated High School. His grandfather and father both fished these waters and he started running these islands in his own boat at age 13. Mike grew up lure fishing for Snook and started guiding approx. 20 years ago. He fished the IFA Redfish Tour for two years and finished in the top ten. He fishes artificial lures, live bait, or both out of a 22ft.Pathfinder boat powered with a 150hp Yamaha 4 stroke.

(10-15 cm) / Weight: n/a / Spawns: inshore / Found: inshore and near shore waters of SW Florida / Common. Although more difficult to find than some other gastropods, living tulips can still be located in the tidal flats of the J.N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife Refuge, as well as Tarpon Bay, the back side of Captiva, and along the shallows of the out islands. Look for them in areas of soft, muddy, and weedy bottoms. It is generally covered in algae growth and small barnacles, looking nothing like it does on display in a showcase. When moving, the tulip tends to look much like an oversized underwater snail crawling slowly along the bottom. The tulip is a predatory gastropod, related to the horse conch, and is a carnivore. It feeds on other gastropods, including its relative, the banded tulip, as well as any number of bivalves such as clams, oysters, and scallops. The tulip wraps itself around a bivalve and methodically pries it open to feed upon the soft tissue inside. When picked up the tulip will immediately start to dislodge whatever water it has inside and close its trap door (the operculum), sealing itself completely inside its protective shell. The tulip is found in water from a few inches to 30 feet in depth. This species has been known to grow to more than nine inches long, though it rarely reaches that size. It is preyed upon by grouper, octopus, and squid, and when inshore it is sometimes taken by wading birds such as egrets and herons. Banded Tulip (Fasciolaria hunteria) Other names: tulip / Status: FL=stable, IUCN=NE / Life span: n/a / Size: 2-5 in. (5-13 cm) / Weight: n/a / Spawns: inshore / Found: Inshore and near shore waters of Southwest Florida / Common. Similar in many ways to its slightly larger cousin, the true tulip, the banded tulip is also found in the shallow mudflats and sandy bottoms of the back bay. It is a predatory gastropod, feeding on a variety of bivalves, as well as smaller tulips. All tulips are cannibalistic and will readily attack and eat members of their own species. Unlike the oyster, the tulip is dioecious, meaning each is distinctly male or female. The female tulip’s egg capsules resemble flattened, V-shaped stemmed vases with frilly edges, clumped together in masses. They are generally attached to rocks or dead shells. The larvae emerge as crawling young. Neither the banded nor true tulip population appears to be in trouble. Although both of these tulips are edible, their meat is tough and they have no real food value. The banded tulip is preyed upon by true tulips, wading birds, fish, and octopus.

They climbed trees, picked and ate coconuts, borrowed rowboats to be on the Barron River, and played endless games. In the early days when there was a streetcar, they would ride up and down for free. After the streetcar a railroad was built, but what was really needed was a road to the outside world. Barron Collier was determined to finish the missing part of the road to connect Miami to Ft. Myers. It was completed and opened in April 1928. My mother and her parents were among the honored few to be driven across for the opening ceremonies! My mother’s friends were Mary Divine Thorp, Margaret Duncan, Wilda Doss (yes, Hilda and Wilda!), Bobbie and Ellen McLeod, and Sarah Collier Rindy. They remained friends throughout their lives! I can remember going on a short cruise with Mama and Mary Divine when we first returned to Miami. Wilda lived in the same neighborhood we did in North Miami and we had a neighbor named “Gilda”! My grandfather was the first Chairman of the School Board and remained in that position the entire time my mother was in school. This proved to be a great embarrassment for her. Since there were few telephones, Mama had to carry messages back and forth from her father to school personnel and vice versa. This “chore” as she called it resulted in her being referred to as a “teacher’s pet” which she abhorred! Mama was a good student and was Valedictorian of the graduation class of 1939. For graduation, there was no prom but instead a Junior-Senior Banquet at the Everglades Inn put on by her Godfather Snookie Senghaus. The highlight of the evening was the flaming Baked Alaska Snookie made! As an aside, when I found out Mama was Valedictorian, I asked her how many were in her class as my class had over 1000. She responded that there had been seven – to which I responded that no wonder she was Valedictorian as she no competition! No, she didn’t appreciate my comment. . …….to be continued email: [email protected] What’s Happening in the Everglades City Area JANUARY 30, 2015 MUSEUM of the Everglades Pauline Reeves Gallery “A Look into the World of Our Native Seminoles” Historic Photographs Courtesy of the Seminole Tribe of Florida The Museum of the Everglades will host an exhibit of historic photographs courtesy of the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Along with a few new lines on existing forms, there will also be two new forms that will need to be included with some tax returns. While most taxpayers will simply need to check a box on their tax return to indicate they had health coverage for all of 2014, there are also new lines on Forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ related to the health care law. Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions Complete this form to report a Marketplace-granted coverage exemption or claim an IRS-granted coverage exemption on the return. Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit Complete this form to reconcile advance payments of the premium tax credit, and to claim this credit on the tax return. Additionally, if individuals purchased coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, they should receive Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, which will help complete Form 8962. Where to put the information: Form 1040 Line 46: Enter advance payments of the premium tax credit that must be repaid Line 61: Report health coverage and enter individual shared responsibility payment Line 69: If eligible, claim net premium tax credit, which is the excess of allowed premium tax credit over advance credit payments Form 1040A Line 29: Enter advance payments of the premium tax credit that must be repaid Line 38: Report health coverage and enter individual shared responsibility payment Line 45: If eligible, claim net premium tax credit, which is the excess of allowed premium tax credit over advance credit payments Form 1040EZ Line 11: Report health coverage and enter individual shared responsibility payment Form 1040EZ cannot be used to report advance payments or to claim the premium tax credit What’s Happening in the Everglades City Area JANUARY 30, 2015 From Savannah’s Eyes I love all this Florida sunshine we’ve had lately! It funny how it’s winter in every other state but here it’s always summer. We do have some cold days but they don’t last very long. Homecoming is coming up on the 30th and this, unfortunately, is my last homecoming ever as a high school student. It’s both sad and exciting because I was voted on Homecoming court again this year to represent my Senior Class. I already have my dress picked out and everything but haven’t showed anyone it yet because I want it to be a surprise! I will be walking on court along with two other girls in my class with our escorts. I can’t wait to walk down the court for the last time, smiling at the stands as the crowd cheers when your name is called, Cameras videoing and flashing all around you. The look on your parents’ face when they see you in the perfect dress with your hair curled, looking like a princess. This is also the year they get to announce the King and Queen for my senior class, which is exciting since we’ve watched year after year people getting crowned and now it’s our turn for it! Good luck to all the girls and boys in the senior class. Softball season has officially started, and I am so excited! We have a new coach this year, and a lot of girls wanting to play. Our first few practices this past week have been awesome; the girls are energetic (along with our coach) and for our first few practices we’re looking good! Our first game is on February 2 so we’re preparing to kick some butt! This is also going to be my last sport that I play in high school (wish it was volleyball) so it’s bittersweet. Please come out and support our boys in their last game (Homecoming) on January 30. The first game is at 5 and Homecoming court will be in between the JV and Varsity games. Love, Savannah Savannah Oglesby is 17 years old and a senior at Everglades-City School.

Loop Road Prairie Prescribed Fire If conditions are favorable Big Cypress National Preserve will continue to conduct prescribed fire operation within the Loop Unit of the Preserve until late February. The primary goals are to assist the Preserve with exotic species management, improving habitat for deer populations, and maintaining distinct populations of Liguus tree snails in the area. Smoke may be visible within the Preserve, especially from U.S. 41 and Loop Road. In case of smoke on the roadways drive carefully, reduce your speed, and turn on your headlights while driving. All areas of Big Cypress National Preserve will remain open to visitors during the prescribed fire. However, visitors are encouraged to check the Big Cypress website for updates to ensure areas they wish to visit are not being impacted by the burn. Fire activity will be close to the southern end of the Robert’s Lake Trail south of the Oasis Visitor Center, and the eastern end of the Gator Hook Trail. Before attempting to hike these trails during the burn operation visitors should check with National Park Service staff at the visitor center. ================================================================================= Mike, The Tax Guy, provides income tax services.

Jack Shealy Jr. gave us the grand tour of the campground and facilities. It had been a while since I had the opportunity to look around, and I was very much impressed with the natural beauty of the area. We first visited the snake and bird sanctuary where Rick, the tour guide, was giving a presentation. There were alligators and peacocks as well. And, of course, my grandson Colton was interested in having his photo taken with the Skunk Ape and seeing the novelty items in the gift shop. Afterwards, we took a walk along the lake and campground sites. The palm trees surrounding the lake, the saw grass, and the prairie make this site appealing to anyone wanting to experience the true Everglades. Every campsite is far enough away from US41 so that traffic cannot be heard; only the sounds of the wildlife surrounding this quiet and comfortable place to stay. One of the nicest accommodations at the campground was the elevated thatched chickee cabin that has many of the same amenities of home with outdoor dining at the picnic table beside the lake and a campfire. You can enjoy the sunset on your own balcony overlooking the prairie. The Shealy family has owned and operated Trail Lakes Campground since 1963. It was originally the site of the old sawmill run by Bill Tomic from 1942 to 1958.
