Florida state parks unveil new manatee experiences

The beloved manatee is a Florida icon, and several of our state’s award-winning state parks provide both critical habitat for manatees and educational experiences and programs to help park visitors create connections with these gentle giants. November is Manatee Awareness Month — Former Gov. Bob Graham first made the designation in 1979 — and the Florida State Parks Foundation celebrated the occasion by announcing a new wave of manatee-related resources for four state parks, all of which are no more than a day trip from Tallahassee. The Jacksonville-based Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, a longtime partner of the Foundation, donated $250,000 to help bring these new resources to fruition. “Mrs. Weaver made an incredible investment in Florida’s state parks and manatees,” Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward said. “We are thrilled to see that these projects have come to fruition through her generosity.” Want to check out the new features and experience Florida’s manatees this month? Start down the road in Levy County, where Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs state parks have each received new signage to inform visitors about Florida’s manatees and how to best share our state’s waterways with them.

As City Commission flips progressive, Williams-Cox’s watch party goes on

In a night that local progressives surged , moderate Dianne Williams-Cox defeated Dot Inman-Johnson and maintained her position on Tallahassee City Commission Seat 5. While votes rolled in, the incumbent held a watch party at Tallahassee Nights Live . “I appreciate folks who came and vouched for me and closed the case for me, who came to talk about me and what it is that I've done, and who I really am,” Williams-Cox said in an interview with the Tallahassee Democrat as the night began. “I really want people to understand that I'm here working for us, not for me, not for any special group, all of us.” The vibes were high throughout the night, as the party of around 100 people featured a DJ and catered food. The event began at 7 p.m. and lasted until approximately 10 p.m. While she has regularly traded barbs with Matlow on the commission dais before voting him down 3-2, Williams-Cox shared a conciliatory message Tuesday night. “My priority is to meet my new commission, who I'll be working with, and get to understand what's important to them, so that we can become more unified and be able to work together and move
