There are many remarkable stories and accomplishments, and I am often amazed by the various ways in which CAFS and its programs are making a positive and demonstrable difference in the world. After Hurricane Michael wreaked havoc and devastation in Tallahassee and the Big Bend region, the CAFS Cooperative Extension Program provided hot meals, water, clothing and personal hygiene items to the victims. So as we start the year inspired and energized, I hope you will too will be amazed as you read about some of the other highlights in this issue of the CAFS magazine. Our research programs have crossed borders offering research and training expertise from Guyana in the Caribbean to Jordan in the Middle East. Our students have sought out and earned internship spots with entities such as the U.S. Navy in Bahrain and the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, Africa. Also, our Veterinary Technology Program has received full accreditation and our animal science program strengthened with the addition of a new faculty with emphasis on animal nutrition and microbiomics

Show moreBlack women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician, the first black female registered nurse, and the first nurse training program for blacks in the state. This study hopes to show that these black female healthcare pioneers and the healthcare institution played an integral role in the growth and welfare of black citizens and thus the development of the United States. Their work needs to be recognized because they took on a responsibility in a hostile environment created and sustained by the United States, but ultimately overcame obstacles nonetheless and made a lasting impact on the people and time in which they lived.

Show moreA double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey was administered to 2,000 residents of Franklin and Gulf Counties, Florida, with the objective of documenting any bias as a result of the institutional basis in the hypothetical payment vehicle. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for state and private payment vehicles are $4.39 and $5.08 per month respectively, significantly different at the 0.15 level. This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional foundation for the payment vehicle. The major determinants of WTP appear to be education, perception of existing water quality and the attitudes of respondents towards the environment. However, WTP responses may vary temporally and spatially with differences in demographics and goods and services valued.

The discussion will familiarize the reader with the immense obstacles that deterred African American attorneys from gaining prominence and the struggles endured by black lawyers throughout the South. As true regionally, the majority of Florida's legal professionals could not afford to practice law exclusively and had to pursue other careers as their main source of income. Politics often emerged as the career of choice for black lawyers. As public figures these men accomplished remarkable feats and flourished as leaders of the black community.8 This essay, in a larger sense, attempts to provide fresh and helpful information concerning the black 7 See generally, Foner, Freedom ’s Lawmakers; Brown, Florida ’s ‘Black Public Oflicialsg Richardson, Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. 8 See generally, Richardson, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida; Woodson, The Negro Professional and the Community; Ward, Black Physicians in the Jim Crow South; Shofner, Nor Is It Over Yet.

Land use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay.

Show moreLand use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay. Historic water quality data indicates that salinity has increased by ~40% bay-wide. The first objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that profiles for C, N, and P concentrations and 813C and SISN stable isotopic signatures could be applied to benchmark historic natural and anthropogenic activity with in the bay. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that historic nutrient data from cores could be used to assess bay wide productivity, based on phytoplankton biomass, using niche modeling techniques. Our approach to evaluate the first hypothesis was 1) compare historic (past 50 years) river discharge patterns and mass sedimentation rates to C, N, and P concentration and 513 C and ESISN stable isotopic profiles at the river mouth; 2) differentiate between riverine organic matter (OM) and re-suspended OM depositions

Show moreSuburban Sprawl Development is the growth pattern that predominated after World War ll. This model had a jump-start given by public policies, and put the nuclear family in a suburban landscape. In this thesis some of the problems that sprawl generates are identified. Loss of public space, loss of sense of place and loss of community identity are the most characteristic ones. It also reviews the characteristics of Suburban Sprawl, Transit Oriented Development and Traditional Neighborhood Patterns. This thesis also examines how some of these development patterns can be used to improve an existing community, and how sometimes they degrade it. In this study, sustainability patterns that break down use separations; sustainability patterns that mix activities and bring people together will be validated. The proposed improvements reestablish communities and make neighborhoods more livable, by sharing spaces, and by creating pedestrian friendly environments and open recreational areas. The first part of this research is the study of the different patterns of community development, and is followed by an evaluation of different existing neighborhoods located in Vancouver-Canada and Jacksonville-Florida. This evaluation indicates how projects intended to revitalize existing neighborhoods are feasible. It also shows how the principles proposed to redevelop these areas could be applied in the area selected for the revitalization. xivFor this thesis an existing neighborhood, located in the south side of Tallahassee, was selected for revitalization, planning and design. Traditional neighborhood elements were considered for the revitalization. The inhabitant’s social classes are determined; the market for which the project is oriented is also determined; and the neighborhood’s development is analyzed in terms of its quality. The improvement of this existing community by the incorporation of traditional neighborhood pattern's design and planning principles is the goal of this thesis. The work demonstrates a practical application of traditional neighborhood patterns in order to improve an existing community’s quality. It also shows how architects are able to choose a healthier option for communities’ design and development. XV

Show moreAfrican American women are vastly underrepresented in higher education administration. With the paucity of literature available, this study serves to increase the understanding and experiences of these female leaders in Florida Community Colleges and to disclose perceived barriers that impede their mobility and representation as chief administrative officers. The community college continues to be the most important higher education innovation of the 20”‘ century (Witt, Wattenbarger, Gollattscheck, & Suppiger, 1994). In the state of Florida, there are 28 community colleges. Of those 28, there are a total of thirty- two chief administrators in 12 of those community colleges, and five African American women currently serve as presidents in 3 of those community colleges. Despite these efforts, African American women are underrepresented in positions as chief administrators in Florida community colleges. In Florida’s 28 community colleges, there are only 32 African American chief administrators—of which 5 serve as president. For the purpose of this study, 21 of the 32 administrators identified met the profile for this study. Administrators serving in their administrative positions at least (3) years or longer were asked to participate. Vaughan’s research on community college leaders states that in most cases it takes more than 5-7 years to establish oneself as a leader. The absence of greater numbers of African American women administrators in the community 16 college suggests the “new generation” of leaders is obtaining a variety of leadership opportunities and staying in them for a shorter time span (Amey, 2002). Moore (2000) stated, “The limited number of African American women makes it difficult for aspiring women leaders to find African American women role models who have been successful in cracking the glass ceiling” (p.1). This term refers to an invisible barrier toward advancement in executive ranks. The glass ceiling is identified primarily as a woman’s issue—— an issue impacting female administrators and those striving for this role in the college community. Unless gains are made in equitable leadership positions for African American women in the community college, the serious consequences of inequity, racism, and sexism will continue to prevail. Figure 4 show that more than 64 percent of college presidents were White men in 2000, signifying virtually no progress in the representation of African American women administrators as CEOs.
