I Am Boca Raton
A better version of this is available at
Join me on a journey covering 450 years. This is a tour of Boca Raton, Florida, during the summer of 2015, driving through the history of tomorrow.
Utilizing video, photography and personal account, we will explore the Jeaga Indians, the first white settlers, Pearl City and its black settlers, Addison Mizner, the Boca Raton Army Air Field (BRAAF) and its top-secret significance during and after World War II, Florida Atlantic University, polo, green beans (huh?), the Boca Raton Resort & Club, even Billy Graham and the President of the United States. While many may not know the names Rickards, Long, Gates, Mitchell, Hughes, Butts and Fleming, they should. These people are vitally important to the story of Boca Raton.
Boca Raton is my hometown. I grew up listening to family friends Carl Douglas and Floy Mitchell tell tales of early Boca that fascinated me. They inspired me to learn more.
This two hour video is my first attempt at anything related to videography. It has technical flaws and about 9 minutes of boring stuff. Please overlook all that. It is my hope that you will take away that same inspiration I gained from Carl and Floy and find out more about the past of your hometown. Explore, write it down, record it somehow, somewhere. Visit your local historical society or start one. Your local public libraries are a treasure chest of information waiting to enrich your quest. Do not let the past and those memories fade away and be forgotten.

Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (~1782-1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort.[6] However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named Fort Lauderdale were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.[6]

US Navy on exercise in Caribbean
1. Wide shot of water and island of St. Kitts
2. Tighter shot of St. Kitts
3. Wide shot of USS Monterey
4. Various shots of US Coast Guard training St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard officials
5. SOUNDBITE (English): Tony Crisco, US Officer in charge of coast guard crew training:
They are very eager to learn; I don''t think that they have as much opportunity to train as we do. So we''re very excited to be here, to be able to step on the decks with these guys and train. We learn as much from them as they do from us, so we are very happy to come out here and apply these techniques. Hopefully they can use them, because without a doubt in the future we will be doing joint operations and joint boardings with them, so we''ll be work hand and hand with them.
6. Wide shot training
7. Various mid shots of St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard officials
8. SOUNDBITE (English): Sergeant Brian Mills, St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard:
It''s great; as you can see they are preparing us for a World Cup 2007 and if you realise law enforcement play a major role in this upcoming activity that we are going to have in 2007, so it''s always important to keep.. hone our skills and this.. the opportunity arises as this ship comes to port and it is good that we could capitalise on it.
9. More of training
10. Wide shot USS Monterey
STORYLINE:
Twelve members of the St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard on Thursday received training in arrest procedures in preparation for next year''s cricket World Cup, which organisers expect will bring about 100,000 visitors to the region.
Tony Crisco, the US officer in charge of the training, said he and his crew were happy to be involved in the operation, particularly with a view to future cooperation.
We learn as much from them as they do from us, so we are very happy to come out here and apply these techniques. Hopefully they can use them, because without a doubt in the future we will be doing joint operations and joint boardings with them, he said.
Sergeant Brian Mills, from the St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard, said the training would be of great importance to prepare his team for the cricket World Cup event in 2007.
The sailors from the USS Monterey - part of an aircraft carrier group that left Florida in April - also made repairs on Wednesday to a home for mentally disabled children on the Caribbean island.
The Monterey, a cruiser based in Norfolk, Virginia, was scheduled to link up later in the week with other US warships for training in the Caribbean Sea.
The US dispatched the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and its group to the Caribbean for exercises focusing in part on drug and human trafficking.
Other stops include Honduras, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Curacao, St. Maarten and Aruba.
Cuban President Fidel Castro and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have criticised the US exercises, accusing the United States of trying to intimidate his country with the show of military strength.
The US military has dismissed the criticism, noting that it holds annual exercises in the region.
People in St. Kitts - a former British colony in the eastern Caribbean that is one of many countries used as a transit point by drug smugglers - welcomed the American troops.

Wooden canoe found in Florida could be linked to the 1600s
Wooden canoe found in Florida could be linked to the 1600s.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Researchers may be closer to figuring out the origin of an old canoe that surfaced after Hurricane Irma.
Using radiocarbon dating, archaeologists recently determined that the wood used to create the vessel may date to the 1600s.
“A find like this is always exciting, especially when it represents something completely unlike the types of canoes previously discovered,” said Paul N. Backhouse, director of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation.
$100 INTO $600 IN THIS TRIP TO THE THRIFT!
HEY THERE RESELLING FANS!!
I MADE SOME CRAZY MONEY IN THIS TRIP TO THE THRIFT!
I had another trip to the Goodwill outlet next to my house. So the big deal about this trip was holiday lights... they had a whole bin full of them at the goodwill outlet. I went on 2 separate trips that day to pick all of them up. The first trip I wasn't as confident but I still bought some. Then I went home and realized the profit margin I would be making and I went back and bought all they had left. All together I ended up with 130 units. The fist time I went to goodwill they charged me the normal $1 per pound and those lights were less than a pound a piece so I was fine with that. BUT when I went back and purchased the rest the lady said those go under GLASSWARE so they are only 35 cents a pound!!!! I was happy and pissed at the same time!! I was glad that the bulk of the order was at 35 cents but I was still mad a payed more with the other cashier. In the end that was a huge learning experience!! Learn your thrift store prices!! I'm going to net a profit of $3-$4 per unit so I should make over $500. How long they take to sell however is another story.. They will obviously be a hot sale around Christmas but we shall see if they will sell during the summer.. People use them for wedding and other events so I'm optimistic. I'll try and give you an update but do me a favor and SUBSCRIBE TO MY PAGE!!!

Lauderdale Police Tout Their 'PeaceMaker' Armored Winnedago Surveillance Platform.mp4
Fort Lauderdale Police claim that the only people who complain about their police state technology are the criminals! Talk about 1984. Just like, of course, the only people who don't like warrantless wiretapping, extraordinary rendition, and military on the streets must be with the terrorists, right? The government can certainly protect you- they can always throw you in cell, or put you in the barbed wire like cattle. But who will protect you from a government that is in the business of global domination, neo-mercantilist economic hegemony, and a war against dissenters?
FORGET ABOUT THE SCARY IRANIANS! The threat they pose to you is 1/100th of the threat of the US federal government. And that threat exists ONLY because our government insists on regime change in that country.

Life on board is challenging. Crawford points out, Life on a US Navy ship is unusually arduous sea duty, with an emphasis on arduous.
