NEW SIGNS AROUND TOWN
October 15 was the beginning of Stone Crab Season and the Mayor had two
new signs installed. One is on the Circle coming into the City that proclaims
Everglades City is the STONE CRAB CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
The Mayor
also wanted
everyone to know
that he was born
on Chokoloskee
Island and is
“proud of it.”
He is shown here
next to the new
sign on North
Storter Avenue that
warns …
CHOKOLOSKEE
CHICKEN CROSSING.
Comments from our Readers
by Patty Huff
Several readers who sent us comments about articles in the Rapper said they would like to
read more about locals (both past and present). This issues covers:
Local History (page 8) about Curtis Hancock and his renovation of ACE, the fishing
guide boat originally built by his grandfather A. C. Hancock.
Memories of Mama Hokie (page 9), written by former resident and artist Camille
Baumgartner. Camille moved to north Georgia in 1994 and is now in Hospice care. She
donated her framed photograph of Mama Hokie to the Museum of the Everglades. We will
always remember Mama Hokie and her sign out on the Tamiami Trail which read “BEER
and WROMS” (this is how it was written).
Glades Folks (page 10) is a new column which features Ted Juracsik titled “Made in
the U.S.A.” More locals will be highlighted in future issues.
Obituary (page 11) of our dear friend Olga Hirshhorn who recently passed away at her
home. Several years ago I was invited by Olga to visit her home in Naples where she gave
me a tour through centuries of art displayed throughout her modest home. Many items she
donated to the Baker Museum in Naples. She was an extraordinary woman.
Please continue to send us your comments and we will continue to incorporate your
ideas and suggestions. Several people have suggested that we include crossword puzzles;
my mother worked them every day of her life. However, I was never as skilled as my
mother, but if someone would like to help create an “Everglades” crossword puzzle
(perhaps once a month), please let us know.
Always like to keep articles / information related to our unique area in the Everglades!

TAYLOR’S CORNER
Sorry for not writing all summer I was so
busy traveling. The start of school has been
crazy busy with sports and school back to
back. I have cross country and volleyball
every day right after each other. Speaking of
volleyball, we finished the season this week and would like to
thank everyone who came out and supported us.
At one of our cross country meets in Marco Island I finished
56th out of 100 runners. My friend Alycia came in at 31 st place,
which was the best time on our team. Last month was the Gus
Macker basketball tournament. EVG played on Saturday to see
who went to the championship. Sadly we all lost. EVG played
hard and tried their best. Huge thanks to the students who played
and everybody who came to support EVG!
The middle school students have elected a president, vice
president, secretary, and treasurer. I am happy to inform you that
after a close race I was voted middle school president. Our middle
school vice president is Sadrilynn Tiger, secretary Morgan Herrin,
and finally treasurer is Lexie Hendrickson. Congratulations to all
of you! We’ll be meeting to discuss our plans for the year and I’ll
keep you updated. Again I am very sorry I haven’t written for the
paper over the summer, but I will be writing my article from now
on! Have a wonderful day and see you around the corner.
Taylor Dahlke is in the 6th grade at Everglades City School.
Students attended
the Dinosaur George
Exhibit in Naples on
September 19 where
they met Governor
Rick Scott. The trip
was funded by the
monies collected
from last year’s
Aquafest event.

It has been a wonderful month and our students are
truly excelling in their Reading Achievement. Our
Literacy Team works diligently to foster student
love of Reading, and these efforts are paying off in a tremendous
fashion as our students passed a major milestone early in the
school year. As of October 12, our students have read over six
millions words! Our Media Specialist, Melissa Owen, does
exceptional work in conjunction with our teachers to motivate
students and recognize their efforts.
Our “Celebration of Literacy” will be on display from Nov. 2
thru the 5th as there are a number of student programs planned to
coincide with our school Book Fair. On Wed. Nov. 4 we are
hosting a School and Community Event “Books and Breakfast”.
We will serve complimentary breakfast items for our school’s
family and friends to enjoy as they join our students at the Book
Fair from 7:00 to 8:15 am. Opportunities will be available to buy
books and / or support our teacher and media center book
collections that morning. If you have any questions, please don’t
hesitate to call the school at 377-9810 for more information.

Florida Tales
“McDanal Diary
1879-1967”
by Chester Keene
I saw people both
men and women,
both
from
the
Hatfield and McCoy
families
carrying
Winchester Rifles would meet on the
railroad tracks walk
backwards
from
each other. I was not in school; I had not
been since I was eleven. Times were
hard, Pa only earned $2.50 per day. He
had to pay $10 per month per pupil to
buy books, pencils, slate, copy book and
ink. I was the dark horse or the dunce in
the family. Ma told me I would never
amount to anything, but I thought I'll
show you. Sure Myra, Marvin and Ester
had to have an education. I read, studied,
and thought to myself I'll show you. I did
too. I went to spelling bees everywhere
and was never spelled down. All my
clothes were all made out of Ma's old
ones till I got too big. She bought new
cloth for herself, then Myra got first
choice. I took what I could get, but I've
cried many nights from the time I was
eight years old. I got up every morning
at four o'clock and cooked breakfast,
packed the lunch buckets for Pa,
Malcom, Abb to take to work. I was
afraid of Malcom. He was mean. Abb
was always good to me. I worked for Dr.
Lindsey when I was fourteen. I helped
Mrs. Lindsey mostly, took care of the
two children. We lived in Mingo#1.
There was Mingo #1 and #2. The
mountains were five miles from bottom
to top of the mines. The openings as they
were called were halfway up. They took
the mules down in the mines and never
brought them up 'tll they were too
banged up. All the pass time we had was
climb the mountains and cut our names
in the birch trees.

FLORIDA FLORA
Fakahatchee
by Patty Huff
Grass (Tripsacum dactyloides)
Common names: Gamma Grass,
Florida Gamma Grass, Eastern Gamma Grass
A native of Florida this is one of the easiest to grow in our climate since it tolerates most
conditions in our wet and dry seasons. If it gets enough water, the plant is evergreen and
thrives in a damp, rich soil. However, you will notice as you drive along the rivers of the
Everglades that it can turn brownish-yellow in the cold and drier season. Fakahatchee grass
grows up to four to six feet tall compared to the Tripsacum floridanum which is called
dwarf Fakahatchee grass (even though it is a different species) and it grows only up to two
to three feet in height. Also, the bloom on this variety has tiny flowers that cluster on long
stalks compared to the true Fakahatchee grass which has red-brown spikes at the top of
nodding stems. The dactyloides leaves are dark green and arching whereas the floridanum
leaves are glossy, long and narrower.
If you enjoy the wild look of the Everglades with that “native” touch, either of these
species will make you feel right at home.
Off the Shelf - Book Review
“Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the
Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins”
by Susan Casey, reviewed by Patty Huff
As I have mentioned in other book reviews, I get my ideas of books to read
from listening to interviews with the authors on NPR. My favorite books
are biographies, history, and those about our environment.
A few months ago I heard Susan Casey talk about her experiences with dolphins. When
visiting the Keys as a teenager, I would swim with the dolphins at Santini’s in Grassy Key
(now the Dolphin Research Center); since then I have always been intrigued with dolphins.
In her personal account, Susan Casey chronicles the early beginnings of the dolphins
and states that their brains are much bigger than humans and have evolved over 35 million
years, 34.5 years longer than we have. They have developed a strong sense of community
and their place in the world. Susan became fascinated with dolphins not long after her
father died of a sudden heart attack in 2010; while swimming off the coast of Maui, she
encountered dolphins in the wild and experienced a profound solace and peace. Some
fascinating facts that she observed are that they have extraordinary healing abilities and are
resistant to infections; some researchers believe that dolphins produce tissue-rebuilding
stem cells and antibiotics. Also, when dolphins are given a name, they are the only animals
who call themselves by that name and whistle it to other dolphins; they keep this name
throughout their lifetime. This book may be purchased through Amazon.com and also in

LOCAL HISTORY
“Dreams do come true”
by Charles Sobczak
by Patty Huff
Spirit-of-the-Wild
Wildlife Management Area
When Curtis Hancock was just a
boy, he grew up hanging around
the fish house that belonged to his
maternal grandparents Virgie and
Wiley Dickerson. His other
grandfather A.C. Hancock was a boat builder and a fishing guide.
He built several of these for the local guides, including one for his
brother-in-law Glenn Smallwood in 1951. Glenn bought the
material for the boat and paid A.C. $1,500 for the work. “Uncle
Glenn”, as Curtis remembers him, docked his boat at the Rod &
Gun where his anglers usually stayed. Other fishing guides did the
same, old-timers such as Dinks Boggess, Mervin Noble, Lewis
Daniels, and Vernon Goff. They would take overnight trips out in
the bays to fish for tarpon, snook, and redfish. The boats were
built for this area, fishing in only 26” water.
Curtis loved to watch his grandfather work in the Chokoloskee
boat shed, dreaming that one day he would have one of his own.
He would tag along as A.C. would fix things up; he enjoyed
listening to the big wood planer A.C. used. Curtis said you could
hear the sound all around Chokoloskee Island. Glenn’s boat was
named the ACE after A.C. (they added the “E”) and he fished
with it until he sold it to Mervin Noble in 1989 who docked it in
front of his home on Storter Avenue. Mervin renamed the boat
Albatross II and continued to take anglers out until 1996 when
Captain Franklin Adams purchased it, then spent months fixing it
up. I had the privilege of fishing with Franklin and some friends
many years ago in this boat. It was a “girls” day out on the water
fishing with Franklin who then cooked the trout we caught with a
side of homemade hushpuppies and Key lime pie.
Over the years the boat served its captains well as many
anglers recall the great fishing they had, but it’s not all about the
fishing; it’s experiencing the wonders of the Everglades, the
friendships made, the memories, the storms, and just the great
times. Finally, on August 30, 2014, after a year of serious
deliberation Curtis bought the boat on his birthday, a gift to
himself, not just for sentimental family value but also because it
was his dream since he was a child. He bought it just before his
father Chris passed away in October 2014; although his Dad was
ill, he thought how nice it would be to take him out for a ride and
maybe to fish.
It has taken over a year to restore the old boat and Curtis said
that most of the back-breaking work was done by “little” Robert
Robinson. He was the one sanding it down and working so hard
when strangers would stop by almost weekly and have another
story to tell about fishing out of that boat. Curtis would also like
to acknowledge Kit Johnson who arranged
with Randy at the fish house to have the boat
hauled out and moved to dry dockage for the
restoration. Curtis spent 60 hours building
the beautiful mahogany helm and cleaning
the original steering wheel (he also had the
original side lights re-chromed). He found
working with the wood therapeutic and
relaxing, so soon after his father died. He
now enjoys taking his family (his wife, a
daughter and two sons) out for a ride on the old fishing boat
which he re-named the ACE. Dreams do come true.
Location: Entrance is on the north side of County
Road 832, approximately one mile east of State Road 29. GPS
Coordinates: 26Ε59'61.97"N / 081Ε40'69.91"W / Phone: 850-488-4676;
www.myfew.com/recreation/WMASites_SpiritoftheWild / E-mail: n/a /
7,487 acres / Admission fee charged.
The name says it all at the 7,487-acre
Spirit-of-the-Wild WMA. Originally
a ranch, sod operation, and vegetable
farm, the property was purchased by
the state of Florida in 2002, which
turned it over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) to oversee as a wildlife management area
(WMA). It is near the much larger Okaloacoochee (OK) Slough,
and together the two properties form close to 40,000 acres of
wilderness preserve in Hendry County.
As is often the case with these purchases by the state, the
former owner of the property leased it back for cattle grazing.
That lease ran out in 2007, and FWC, in collaboration with the
state, are filling in many of the drainage ditches and canals,
removing the old pastures of Bahia grass (remnants of the former
sod farm), and replanting the acreage with native trees, shrubs,
and grasses. Owing to the immensity of the property, this will
likely take decades to complete. Like all wildlife management
areas, Spirit-of-the-Wild permits recreational hunting, as well as
birding, bicycling, and horseback riding. Archery hunting of the
local feral pigs is a popular activity. Gun season generally is open
in late October and November. Small game, turkey, and dove
seasons also occur at Spirit-of-the-Wild. The entrance to this
wildlife management area is on the north side of County Road 832
about 1½ miles east of State Road 29 north of Immokalee. The
main road is called Canoe Road, though the property has no
navigable waterway. Just up the road is a game check-in station
staffed by FWC. Canoe Road continues north until it becomes the
Albritton Loop Road, then crosses Robert’s Canal and becomes
Thomas Road, returning seven miles later to County Road 832.
Five hiking trails head east off of Canoe Road. These old farm
roads are also used by all-terrain vehicles and can be quite chewed
up because of it. The terrain is mostly pine flatwoods, oak
hammocks, and seasonal wetlands typical of this part of interior
Florida. Birding is fantastic here. The region has eastern
meadowlarks, swallowtail kites, snail kites, loggerhead shrikes,
wood ducks, and northern harriers. The FWC website has a
complete list of birds found at Spirit-of-the-Wild.
The preserve is home to many Eastern diamondback
rattlesnakes and water moccasins, so care should be taken when
leaving the main path and heading into the saw palmetto thickets
or marshes. If you take a scenic drive or head out on a short hike
along its four-plus miles of trails, you might also come across
some of the wild hogs, deer, and wild turkeys that frequent the
area. Although this wildlife management area is well on its way to
becoming a first-class eco-destination, it is still a work in
progress. If you are on your way to the nearby OK Slough,
however, a short side trip to Spirit-of-the-Wild is well worth the
time.

TAXING THINGS
by Mike the Tax Guy
Who’s Whose Dependent?
Many family situations can cause
confusion as to who may claim a
dependent on tax returns . The IRS has
certain tests to establish dependency.
Support: The tax payer must provide
more than half the support of the claimed
dependent. A parent or child does not
have to live in the same household; a
parent living in an assisted living facility
could still meet the test. A disabled child
in a residential treatment center can also
meet the support test.
Relationship: The person claimed as a
dependent must be related to the tax payer
in a specific way.
Gross Income Test: The person claimed
as a dependent must have gross income of
less than the personal exemption amount.
The standard exemption for 2015 is $4000.
This does not apply if the dependent is a
child of the tax payer under age 19 or a
full-time student under age 24 at the end of
the calendar year.
Citizenship Test: The claimed dependent
must be a US citizen, national or resident
of the United States or a resident of
Canada or Mexico at some time during the
year.
Joint Return Test: The person claimed
must not generally file a joint income tax
return with another unless the only reason
to file the return was to obtain a full refund
of tax withheld.
There are even more complications
relating to divorce, unmarried parents,
same sex marriages, domestic partners,
filing status, and many other special
situations. You can wade through these in
IRS Pub. 501.
Mike, The Tax Guy, provides income tax
services. His phone number is 695-0595.

and share the dramatic landscapes and wildlife with others.” Quinn is the youngest son
of novelist Carl Hiaasen; at age 15 he is showing a promising career in the arts. This is
his first exhibit highlighting a collection of photographs capturing the pure beauty of the
Everglades. Come meet the photographer on Saturday, November 7, from 1:00 to 3:00
pm in the Pauline Reeves Gallery. The event is hosted by the Friends of the Museum of

Hall. For more information, visit FME’s new website www.evergladesmuseum.org.
“Memories of Mama Hokie”
by Camille Baumgartner
When I first met Mama Hokie sitting under her chickee hut, I
knew she was special. She was the dearest, kindest,
compassionate person to all who knew her. We were instant
friends. Over the years I learned about her past history. She
was from Camilla, Georgia, a Cherokee Indian family. Mama
Hokie married and moved to Miami area with her new
husband and many dreams of their lives together. Her
husband found the Everglades property and purchased it years
earlier.
Her husband died tragically from a heart attack (?) which changed her life. She didn’t
share details of her past. When I knew her, she had kept all the trucks, trailers and
“dreams” in her yard as they slowly rusted away. Her only adversary was a man she
called “the Government Man.” Lots of mysteries surrounded her life, but she made it
clear she didn’t like the Government Man!
The day of her alligator attack encounter at the canal in her front yard was because
she couldn’t flush the toilet and was getting a bucket of canal water to flush the toilet.
The alligator bit off her right lower arm to the elbow. She went into instant shock. She
had a phone but kept hitting 611 instead of 911! The Ochopee Firemen rescued her and
she was airlifted to Naples Community Hospital. Immediate surgery and blood saved her
life. Next day I went to the hospital to see her. I will never forget how small she looked
(lost lots of blood). Nor will I forget what she told me: “That was a Mother Gator who
needed to feed her babies. That’s why she took my arm.” Mama Hokie’s compassion was
remarkable to me. She found the positive in the tragic event.
Mama Hokie stayed in Naples for physical therapy for months. While she was gone,
friends cleaned up her camp, took away all the rusting junk and her “dreams.” When she
finally came home and saw the cleaned camp, she insisted that all her stuff be returned!
All of her friends made certain she had help with everything so she could continue
living in her shack and chickee, feeding stray animals, selling beer & worms to survive.
One friend took over getting her a bath and hair wash each week. We all rallied
around her care. I took homemade foods and took her to church at the Church on the
circle whenever she wanted to go. E-City residents were wonderful in helping her.
The Seminole Camp near her property gave her a “New Name Celebration.” They
honored her with their celebration; her new name was “ONE TOUGH OLD LADY.” She
was very proud of her new name!
Camille Baumgartner is a talented artist and sculptor who lived for many years in
Everglades City before moving to north Georgia, selling her home to Steve & Patty
Huff. She has donated the above framed photograph of Mama Hokie to the Museum.

Panther Death
The remains of a 3-yr-old uncollared female Florida
panther (UCFP251) were recovered on October 8 on US41 just

vehicle. The carcass was sent to the FWC Wildlife Research Lab
in Gainesville lab for a complete necropsy. This is the 31st Florida
panther mortality and 22nd road mortality for 2015. Please drive

GLADES FOLKS - “Made in the U.S.A.”
by Patricia Huff
On October 23, 1956, there was a revolution (led by students) against
the government of the Hungarian’s People Republic which imposed
Soviet policies after the
USSR had invaded Central
and Eastern Europe. The
resistance continued until
November 10 with over
2,500 Hungarians and 700
Soviet troops killed and
200,000 Hungarians fled as
refugees.
Tibor Juracsik was a
teenager when he left his
home country and moved to
New York where he worked
in a Tool and Die Company, practicing the trade he had learned in a
bicycle factory in Budapest. Ted (Tibor) lived in a Catholic
orphanage when he first arrived in the States, cleaning floors to pay
for his housing. In his early twenties he met his future wife Wilma at
a Hungarian church youth social. He continued to work hard and
became a successful businessman as he expanded his own factory in
New York. In time he relocated with his wife and children Ted Jr and
Marianne to Boca Raton to build a new factory. Even as a young boy,
Ted loved to fish in the Danube River. He started making reels 40
years ago when he was not happy with current design features and
partnered with renowned fisherman Billy Pate. For 20 years Ted
continued to improve and redesign his reels, and in 1995 he came out
with the first reel under his own given name “Tibor.”
Ted moved to Chokoloskee 20 years ago, about the same time we
bought our house and met him soon after. Steve was very familiar
with his Tibor reels and respected the craftsmanship. One of the first
things that caught my attention when visiting Ted at his home in the
mid-1990s was the sign above his shop “It’s My Turn.” I thought
“good for him.” After years of working, he was going to take time off
for himself.
To know Ted is to accept his honesty and bluntness. He will tell
you exactly what he is thinking when he is thinking of it, and you can
never take it personally; it is who he is and you respect him for it. All
the kids around Chokoloskee know Ted; he talks to them and if they
are interested in fishing, he encourages them, many times giving
them tackle to help them along. Not only is he generous with kids but
also with his neighbors and friends. If anyone needs anything, he is
there for them, always free with advice and guidance, especially to an
earnest young angler. Ted continues to assist locals when and where
his technical skills prove to be useful, repairing rudders and building
new running gear. My husband has been the recipient of such
knowledge on countless occasions. Ted even taught Steve metal
working with a lathe and a milling machine.
Another thing I admire about Ted is that he is constantly rethinking, re-inventing things in his head. He said he comes up with
most of his creative designs while soaking in his bathtub. At 78 he
doesn’t slow down; his brain is always at work. Besides fishing Ted
enjoys going out to his hunting camp in central Florida. He has
received many IGFA awards for the record fish that are caught using
his signature reels. Whenever he accepts an award, he makes a point
to say that all of his reels are “MADE in the USA!” This is something
of which he is extremely proud, being an American citizen. He
believes that this is the greatest country on earth and one that has
given an immigrant (who brought with him only a fierce work ethic)
the opportunity to become a world renowned machinist. This
community is wonderfully blessed by his frankness and willingness
to share his time, his loyalty and his knowledge.

Everglades
City
recently lost one of
its true advocates.
At age 95 Olga
Hirshhorn passed
away on October 3
at her home in
Naples. She and her husband Joseph were
frequent visitors to the Everglades area. They
both loved the fishing and the charm of our
city. After Hurricane Wilma devastated the
trees and so many homes in 2005, Olga
wanted to cheer things up a bit and asked
renowned artist Kenneth Noland to design the
colors for the rusted boat lift on the Barron
River at the Rod & Gun Club. It is now an
outdoor sculpture.
ESHP hosted the dedication of the
sculpture with champagne at the site after
Olga cut the ribbon around the base of the
boat lift where a plaque reads:
“THIS HISTORIC BOAT LIFT WAS
TRANSFORMED INTO A WORK OF ART BY
KENNETH NOLAND THANKS TO THE
VISION OF OLGA HIRSHHORN, BARBARA
AND RICHARD
KEARNEY,
DONALD
SEABURY, AND PAUL ARSENAULT.
DEDICATED APRIL 13, 2007”
With her husband Joseph, Olga traveled
the world collecting art. Joseph was a
businessman, financier and mining tycoon
who donated his painting and sculpture
collection to establish the Hirschhorn Museum
on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Olga
continued her philanthropy after her
husband’s death in 1981. She
was
also
generous with her donations and support as a
member of the Friends of the Museum of the
Everglades. Small in stature but not in heart!
We will miss Olga and her enthusiasm for
life, history and the Everglades!
