Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort

B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

ANNEX I
Tonight Irsquom here to propose to the Council that there is a need to protect Sandhill
Cranes in our City Over the few weeks I have witnessed these birds being mowed down by careless
drivers leaving the parent birds struggling to rescue their young I have seen on many occasions
Daddy and Mother Crane yell out and flap their wings trying to get their babies out of the way of
oncoming vehicles Both parent Cranes and their young are in danger of being injured or killed by
traffic that rarely seems to give these birds the right-of-way
I know some in our community find these birds to be a nuisance but I am here to advocate for these
beautiful creatures These Cranes should have special protection in our Town of Lake Helen
I am proposing and asking the City Council to consider the following measures
1 Anyone intentionally harming Sandhill Cranes be reported to the Chief of Police
2 Strongly discourage the feeding of these birds since it is unlawful to do so in this State If
they are attracted to human-provided food sources (eg bird feeders) the sources should be
removed until the Cranes stop visiting the site Sandhills easily choke on grains of corn also
Intentional feeding is prohibited under Rule 68A-4001(5) FAC
3 It is my hope that the Council would declare a Saturday in April as SANDHILL CRANE
DAY with a Sandhill Crane Festival at a location to be determined To help educate the
community especially the children a possible Sandhill Crane art contest by the school children
could be promoted to be able to display their pictures at the local Museum or at the Festival
4 Also Irsquod like to see a declaration to name The Town of Lake Helen a Sandhill Crane
Sanctuary All the above approved decisions would back up that declaration
5 And finally a citation designating the Sandhill Crane as the official BIRD of the Town of
Lake Helen
Recommendations to support this effort
A
Caution Sandhill Crane Crossings signs and Sandhill Crane Sanctuary Signs to be placed at
Caution Signs atSummitt and Main
East Lemon near the caution sign for children
Lakeview and Main
Sign at Prevatt and Lake Pearl
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at the entrance to Lake Helen off I-4
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Blake Park
SANDHILL CRANE SANCTUARY sign at Royal Park
(Sign Costs $45 - $70 each) I have attached a copy of the sign used by Victoria Park
B T-shirts to be sold at the Crane Festival Fall Festival Museum and to the public I
have the approval from the City of Malabar and the Artist to use the same shirts they purchased
I have included the artwork and the cost as an attachment
C To further my concern and support of these Cranes I have purchased two childrens books for our
Little Free Library to raise awareness in our children to help keep them and their parents ever-
mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe
Chicks Grow Uprsquordquo and ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoLearning How To Fly Author and Illustrator Lloyd
Francis Behrendt
I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us
together on this need to protect our Sandhill Cranes Please let me know what actions you will be
willing to support to show the special nature of the proud Town of Lake Helen
Thank You
Respectfully submitted

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

mindful of the importance of protecting these birds in our area The books are ldquoRaisin Crane lsquoThe

I am sure there are more ideas and solutions but I wanted to get this started while citizens are still
aware of the recent accidents Although we canrsquot prevent all deaths of Sandhill Cranes since some are
caused by power lines etc we can still work together as a community to avoid innocent tragedies and
train our children to continue our efforts in the years to come
Lastly by voting favorably for this proposal it positions Lake Helen as a forward-thinking town
and a participant in eco-tourism
I will be glad to entertain any questions solutions other recommendations that would help bring us

INFORMATION ON SANDHILL CRANES
Sandhill crane - Wikipedia
httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

httpsenwikipediaorg rsaquo wiki rsaquo Sandhill_crane
The oldest unequivocal sandhill crane fossil is 25 million years old older by half than the earliest remains of most living species of birds primarily found from after the Plio-cenePleistocene boundary some 18 million years ago
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 36 years 7 months old Originally banded
in Wyoming in 1973 it was found in New Mexico in 2010 The oldest Crane in captivity
lived to be 80 years old
The city of Malabar this week unanimously passed a resolution declaring the sandhill crane its town bird
The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote at a Monday night meeting of the Town Council
Although the resolution wont add further penalties to protect the threatened species it will encourage residents and visitors to take extra precautions especially when driving
In the resolution drivers are asked to slow their speed to 10 mph under the limit when sandhill cranes are present along roadways and stop to avoid colliding with them
Malabar will also make an effort going forward to incorporate sandhill cranes in their marketing materi-als
The resolution comes after two cranes were run over on Malabar Road leaving the pairs chick without parents
The City of Malabar has given us permission to follow with their same resolutions

WHEREAS known as ldquoThe Gem of Floridardquo Lake Helen was founded by Henry Deland and named after his daughter Intended as one of the prettiest and most pleasant towns in Florida and
WHEREAS On October 24 1888 the town was incorporated as the ldquoTown of Lake Helenrdquo and
WHEREAS Lake Helen was originally a Winter retreat for north-easterners and with the addition of two hotels the Harlan Hotel (after his son and pictured right) and a little later the Granville Hotel it became a destination spot for New Englanders anxious to retreat from the harsh Winters and
WHEREAS Lake Helen flourished Citrus groves were planted and thrived a sawmill and the Bond Brick Company were established It was an arduous journey early on by steamer and horse or mule wagon from the St Johns River but it 1887 the railroad came to Lake Helen and
WHEREAS Lake Helen grew quickly with many new homes being built each season of the local southern yellow pine Many of them still stand today as a tribute to the craftsmanship of the times This was the ldquoBoom Timerdquo for Lake Helen and
WHEREAS Sadly the winter of 1894-1895 brought the ldquobig freezerdquo Most of the citrus trees were destroyed and many families lost everything Many people left and some replanted but it was never the same and
WHEREAS Lake Helen carried on into the 20rsquos and 30rsquos but time seemed to ldquopass her byrdquo Because she remained undiscovered she continued to be a quaint little community off the beaten path with tree-lined streets and a slow pace that is ever so inviting and
WHEREAS it is fitting that we should join in the expression of our pride and appreciation for the many civic and economic benefits that our community has enjoyed over the past 131 years because of the growth and prosperity of our city
