July is Recreation and Park Month

Florida Department of Environmental Protection	July 3, 2013 Newsletter
Enjoy Summertime Fun July is Recreation and Park Month   Donald Forgione, Director, Florida Park Service Summer marks the beginning of a season when residents and visitors can enjoy Florida's famous sunshine. July is celebrated as National Park and Recreation Month and is considered the optimal time to enjoy Florida's natural treasures. During the summertime, people are naturally drawn to our waters for recreation and fun with family and friends. Whether we spend our time splashing in the cool surf, building sand castles atop the warm sand on one of our many beaches, snorkeling in our freshwater springs, canoeing or kayaking on the rivers or sitting beneath the shade of a tree by the side of a lake, I encourage everyone to think safety first. Two key components for safety in Florida are drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and using an ample amount of sunscreen when you'll spend time in the sun. Always keep watchful eyes on loved ones swimming in our waters. Become aware of Florida's system of warning flags that aid beach goers and swimmers judge surf conditions. If you are boating or canoeing, always wear your life jacket or other personal floatation device. Everyone is bound to have an enjoyable experience as long as we apply these safety rules.  Fishing is one of the best activities for experiencing Florida's waters. Children always enjoy the process of learning how to bait the hook, cast a line and reel in the big catch. As always, think safety first when it comes to sharp hooks, insects and the amount of time you spend exposed to the sun. If you are looking for a place for outdoor fun this summer, check our website for the closest state park or state trail. You can also like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or share photos on Pinterest. Our handle is @flstateparks. If you like your information on the go, download our new mobile app by PocketRanger ® for iPhones and Androids. See you at the park. Donald V. Forgione, Director of the Florida Park Service An Important Safety Message from the Florida Department of Children and Families The Sunshine State is filled with opportunities for fun this summer! When the heat gets too hot, Floridians take advantage of our beautiful sandy shores and swimming facilities. These endless opportunities for swimming cause supervision, prevention and emergency preparedness to be especially important. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4. The Florida Department of Children and Families offers the following safety tips: 1) Watch - Supervise children at all times. 2) Stop - Put up barriers like fences, alarms or pool covers. 3) Prepare - Be prepared in case of emergency. Swim safety postcards are available in English and Spanish at no cost to you! Together we can keep Florida’s children happy and swimming safely this summer!
Reading is Fun ~ Especially in the Summertime Florida's First Lady Ann Scott Encourages Students to Continue Reading through the Summer   First Lady Ann Scott reads a book with young people. Last week, Florida First Lady Ann Scott continued the 2013 Summer Literacy Adventure by reading to students attending a local YMCA camp at the Ybor City Museum State Park. Mrs. Scott encouraged students to keep reading during the summer months and was joined by representatives from the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. "I want to challenge all of Florida's students to join me in taking the Summer Literacy Adventure Pledge," said Mrs. Scott. "Florida's state parks have the perfect atmosphere for students and their families to discover nature and have fun together while reading as many books as possible." The 2013 Summer Literacy Adventure is geared toward helping children stay motivated and excited about reading and literacy. Studies show students who read throughout the summer months are better able to retain what they learned during the school year. Students can fill out their Summer Literacy Adventure pledge form on the Just Read, Florida! website. At the end of the summer, the school with the most pledges will receive admission passes for each student to any state park, good for up to eight people. The school will also receive a special visit from Mrs. Scott in the fall. "Literacy is very important at all ages," said Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione. "We are very proud to work with First Lady Ann Scott to help children be excited about reading and staying active through the summer." Students who take the reading pledge may utilize a free online tool to search for books based on their reading ability and interests. MetaMetrics offers a unique resource called "Find a Book, Florida" that uses Lexile measures, a widely adopted reading metric, that can guide a reader to the appropriate books. For more information, visit 2013 Summer Literacy Adventure. The Florida Department of Education's Just Read, Florida! office offers a 2013 Summer Reading List and tips for parents to keep their children learning. To learn about these resources and more, visit Just Read, Florida!.

"QUERIDA PETRA" DE CLAUDIO NAZOA

Querida Petra:

Tus padres siempre te dijeron que mentir y apoderarte de cosas ajenas es malo; por eso hoy, con tristeza, no puedo entender lo de tu camisón que tan grande te queda. Es que se ve que no es tuyo, Petra.Tus compañeritos ya sabemos lo que pasó en la escuela el día de la rifa del camisón.

Por favor, desmiénteme si me equivoco.La maestra, como es costumbre, rifó el camisón anual. A cada niño le dieron un papelito y la maestra nos pidió que anotáramos el nombre del muchachito que merecía el camisón.La maestra contó a los niños y pasó lista para estar segura de cuántos había. Todos votamos y escribimos el nombre del niño que queríamos que ganara.Cuando la maestra contó los votos, la cosa empezó a ponerse rara porque éramos 40 niños y se contaron 45 votos. Lo peor vino después, cuando casi todos los votos eran para ti, Petra, a quien casi nadie quería.

La cosa nos pareció mas rara aún y cuando le preguntamos a la maestra qué estaba pasando, nos regañó y dijo:-Si siguen preguntando y con esa desconfianza les suspendo el recreo o se me van del salón. ¡Ya lo saben!Los niños nos quedamos anótitos, perdón, atónitos, ante la actitud sospechosa de la maestra; pero la cosa se puso peor cuando tú, Petra, le dijiste a la maestra:-Mamá…Mamá… Así, así, así es que se educa…-¿Mamá…? – gritamos todos los niños al unísono.-¡La maestra es la mamá de Petra!Cuando protestamos, fuimos a la dirección a reclamar y tú, Petra, te adelantaste y llegaste de primera con tu camisón puesto.

La segunda sorpresa vino cuando escuchamos lo que le dijiste a la directora:-¡Tía! ¡Tía…! Yo me gané el camisón y ellos me lo quieren quitar.¡La directora era tu tía! Y nos mandó a todos al salón para calmar los ánimos y, supuestamente, para verificar la votación. Cuando llegamos al salón, la maestra había escondido la lista y la cajita donde habíamos votado. A un niñito que estaba protestando le tiraron un borrador y le partieron un ojo, a nosotros nos amenazó con rasparnos o expulsarnos del colegio si no reconocíamos el triunfo de Petra.

Total, Petra, al final te quedaste con tu camisón robado, pero tu castigo es que te queda grande y feo, que nadie te quiere y que, además, todos en el salón sabemos exactamente lo que pasó...

From bike riding in John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, kayaking in Koreshan State Historic Site, snorkeling in Blue Spring State Park or fishing in O'Leno State Park, there is an activity for everyone to enjoy during Recreation and Parks Month.

TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida State Parks and Office of Greenways and Trails invites visitors and residents to visit a state park and trail for outdoor recreation, events and family fun all throughout July. Governor Rick Scott proclaimed July as Recreation and Parks month, observing that parks and recreation programs build family unity, strengthen neighborhood involvement and promote cultural diversity.

"July is the perfect time for residents and visitors to take the time to enjoy the many activities available at one of our award-winning state parks and trails," said Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione. "Florida's state parks are a great place for families and friends to experience the outdoors and build a healthy lifestyle together."

Recreation and Parks Month recognizes the importance of recreational and educational opportunities available at parks and trails, including boosting economies, attracting new business and increasing tourism. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, nearly 25 million people visited Florida's 171 state parks and state trails.

This July, the Department encourages residents and visitors to visit a state park in their district for exciting events and activities. An easy way to plan a fun trip to a park this July is to download the Florida state parks mobile app, available for free download for smartphone users.

PRESS RELEASE

 

The Mayor of the City of Doral Luigi Boria and the City Council adopt a resolution by unanimous vote giving their firm support and solidarity for the group of Cuban refugees currently under harsh detention conditions in Bahamas

(Doral, FL) - On the Special meeting of the City of Doral Council held on  Tuesday June 25, 2013, Mayor Luigi Boria and the City Council passed by a unanimous vote a resolution expressing their support and solidarity for the Cuban refugees that are currently detained by the government of Bahamas. This flagrant case of violations of human rights and the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees was made known in the United States through a video showing an alleged security guard of the Bahamas Detention Center physically abusing Cuban migrants.

In this resolution proposed by Vice Mayor Bettina Rodriguez-Aguilera, all Council members expressed their solidarity towards this group of Cuban refugees, who made landfall in the Bahamas escaping from the brutal and repressive Castro regime. The Council denounced the abuse of these Cuban refugees, currently at risk of repatriation to Cuba, while also calling for a halt to all mistreatment and for their humane treatment.

Lastly, the City Council made an open request to the US Department of State and the UN Commission on Human Rights to investigate such harsh human rights violations, designate these Cuban citizens as political refugees, and grant them political asylum.

COMUNICADO DE PRENSA

 

El Alcalde de la Ciudad de Doral Luigi Boria y el Concejo de la Ciudad adoptan por unanimidad una resolución expresando firme respaldo y solidaridad con el grupo de refugiados cubanos detenidos bajo condiciones deplorables por el gobierno de Bahamas

 

(Doral, FL) - En la reunión especial del Concejo de la Ciudad de Doral celebrada el martes 25 de junio de 2013, el Alcalde Luigi Boria y el Concejo de la Ciudad aprobaron por unanimidad una resolución expresando su respaldo y solidaridad con los refugiados cubanos que se encuentran en estos momentos detenidos por el gobierno de Bahamas. Este caso de flagrante violación de los derechos humanos y de la Convención de 1951 sobre el Status de Refugiados fue dado a conocer en los Estados Unidos mediante un video que mostraba a un presunto guardia del centro de detenciones de Bahamas pateando a los migrantes cubanos.

En esta resolución presentada por la Vice Alcaldesa Bettina Rodríguez-Aguilera, todos los miembros del Concejo manifestaron su irrestricta solidaridad con este grupo de refugiados cubanos que llegaron a Bahamas huyendo del brutal y represivo régimen castrista. El concejo denunció el abuso perpetrado contra estos refugiaos cubanos, actualmente en riesgo de ser deportados a Cuba, a la vez que solicitó enérgicamente que cesaran los maltratos y que se diera un trato humano a estas personas.

Por último, el Concejo de la ciudad hizo un llamado al Departamento de Estado de los EEUU y a la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la ONU para que investiguen estas deplorables violaciones a los derechos humanos, para que designen a estos ciudadanos cubanos como refugiados, y para que se les conceda asilo político.
