WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE TALLAHASSEE NEWCOMER GUIDE 2015-16

Greetings and Welcome to Tallahassee! On behalf of our entire City, please allow me to welcome you to your new home! Tallahassee is a wonderful place to live because there’s something here for everyone. Whether you’re exploring our beautiful natural resources, like our rivers, forests or canopy roads; enjoying our thriving cultural scene by visiting art galleries, catching a concert at our brand new Capital City Amphitheater, or eating at one of our delicious restaurants; enhancing your skill set and opportunities at one of our fine institutions of higher learning; or starting a small business and engaging with our emerging innovation and entrepreneurial economy, you will find something for you here. Our City is one of the best places in the country to raise a family, and we like to think that the atmosphere of friendliness and community togetherness that pervades Tallahassee is second to none. We are so happy to have you here in our growing city with a small-town feel; once again let me say: Welcome! Sincerely,

Andrew D. Gillum Mayor, City of Tallahassee

PHOTOS COURTESY GILLUM AND LINDLEY

So, you have chosen to make Leon County your new home: We’re awfully glad you’re here. And I am certain that in years to come you’ll consider this one of the happiest decisions you’ve ever made. Tallahassee is the capital of the third largest state. But the friendliness you’ll find around almost any corner will convince you that the charm and distinctively diverse culture that has made Southern life a timeless literary theme is also a day-to-day reality here. As home to two major universities, a large community college and one of the state’s best public school systems, you won’t find people who are shy about confronting conflicts head on. That the city is youthful and well-educated contributes to an ongoing drive to stimulate our economic, cultural, heritage and recreational opportunities in ways that are progressive and sometimes transformative. Whether you are here for the first time, a short time or a lifetime, I hope you’ll start exploring and get involved. It’s always been the people that are the heart of this town. Sincerely,

Mary Ann Lindley Chairman Leon County Board of County Commissioners

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE TALLAHASSEE

TALLAHASSEE ALMANAC A COMPENDIUM OF FACTS AND FIGURES — AND JUST PLAIN FUN STUFF TO KNOW • Tallahassee is positioned 30.45 degrees north of the equator and 84.28 degrees west of the prime meridian. Its elevation is 203 feet above sea level. • The city was incorporated on Dec. 9, 1825. It has a total area of 103.1 square miles. • Tallahassee’s population was 148,400 in 2000. It was 172,554 in 2008 and is estimated to be 191,500 in 2020. • Tallahassee is the seventh largest city in the state. Nationwide, Census Bureau estimates put Tallahassee as the nation’s 126th largest city — between Huntsville, Alabama and Grand Prairie, Texas. • At 22 stories, Florida’s Capitol is the tallest building in the city. The modern structure was built behind the more classically styled

“old” Capitol, which was supposed to be demolished after the new building was completed. However, the Historic Capitol was preserved, and the juxtaposition of the old and new buildings creates a unique vista for those driving westward on Apalachee Parkway. • Florida’s Prime Meridian — the marker from which all surveying in the state is based — is located about a quartermile away from the Capitol building in Cascades Park in a plaza behind the Capital City Amphitheater. • Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River that did not fall to the Union army. • Tallahassee is the only municipality in Leon County, and about 64 percent of

Don’t be puzzled by the Home Selling experience, Let us put the pieces together for you!

county residents live within the city limits. Voters have gone to the polls four times (1971, 1973, 1976, 1992) to vote on consolidating the city and county into one entity, but it was rejected each time. • All Tallahassee/Leon County is within Florida’s 2nd congressional district, represented by Democrat Gwen Graham. • Historians suspected that Hernando de Soto wintered in Tallahassee in 1539 during his explorations, but it wasn’t until 1987 that a state archaeologist, the late B. Calvin Jones, pinpointed and excavated the site. Just about a mile away from the Capitol building, it is the only site in the U.S. definitively associated with the de Soto expedition.

LET IT SNOW? Tallahassee can be considerably

colder than Central and South Florida, with temperatures dipping below freezing on many winter nights. But don’t break out the skis and snow boots just yet. According to the local office of the National Weather Service, Tallahassee has had measurable snowfall only seven times in the past 120 years. The most snow, 2.8 inches, fell in February 1958, and the last time it snowed was in December 1989, when 1 inch fell.

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE

STATE OF FLORIDA

LEON COUNTY

CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

Florida’s state government is overseen by the governor and three elected members of the state Cabinet — the Agriculture Commissioner, Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer. Each resident is also represented by a member of the Florida House of Representatives and a member of the Florida Senate. The House has 120 members, the Senate has 40. Leon County is represented by House Districts 7, 8 and 9 and by Senate District 3. To determine which House and Senate districts you live in, you can contact the Leon County Supervisor of Elections. You can also use your zip code on the legislative websites (flsenate.gov or myfloridahouse.gov) to determine your representative and senator. Representatives are elected every two years. Senators are elected every four years. House and Senate district lines were redrawn before the 2012 elections to reflect changes in population from the 2010 census.

Leon County is guided by an elected, sevenmember Board of County Commissioners. Five Board members are elected to serve specific commission districts, and two members are elected at-large. Each year, members of the Board select a chairman and vice chairman from within the group. The Leon County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the Board to oversee all functions, directives and policies. Other Leon County elected officials include county and circuit court judges, the State Attorney, Public Defender, the School Board, Superintendent and five constitutional officers: Clerk of the Court, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector.

The Mayor and four-member City Commission are the governing body of the city, and all serve four-year terms. All of the seats are nonpartisan and there are no districts: All members are elected citywide. The terms of office are staggered, with elections for two commission seats held every other year. The mayor, who is elected to that particular position, has a vote at commission meetings but no veto power. Tallahassee’s executive staff — the City Manager, Attorney, Auditor and Treasurer/ Clerk — are appointed to their positions by the city commission. A wealth of information about the Tallahassee City Commission, as well as city operations and services can be found at the talgov.com website.

NEW HOMETOWN

y husband landed a job in Tallahassee, and we moved here. The two people who held the same position before him lasted about five years each, so I figured we, too, would be short-timers and then move on. That was 32 years ago.

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE

PHOTOS BY LARRY DAVIDSON

My children were born here. My dearest friends live here. I’ve built a career here. Now, Tallahassee is my home. You’ve probably heard all the Chamber of Commerce commentary. And those canopy roads truly are a treasure. But read on, because I’m going to tell it like it really is: People here are really nice. They’ll always say“hi”when they pass you on the sidewalk. Cashiers usually smile and make eye contact. Chances are someone will let you in if you’re trying to merge into traffic. We gripe about it, but Tallahasseeans don’t understand truly bad traffic. We get a little worked up if we have to wait more than two or three red-light cycles to get through an intersection. There is no rush hour — it’s more like 15 or 20 minutes. You might want to buy a GPS, or at least a good map. I never could figure out how it’s possible to leave my house, go in any one of three directions, and somehow still manage to get to the airport. Speaking of airports … it’s true, it’s not easy to get from here to there in the air from Tallahassee. Unless you’re going to Atlanta or Charlotte, North Carolina, chances are very good you’re going to be changing planes somewhere. And it’s always more expensive than the big-city airports. But the Tallahassee International Airport is clean and uncrowded, there’s usually plenty of parking and the check-in lines are a breeze. And there’s a really nice art gallery inside. Never say anything bad about anybody to anybody because, sure as shootin’, you’re probably talking to their cousin. This is definitely a “one-degree-of-separation” kind of town. We have a decent selection of national stores and restaurants, but there’s still room for an Apple Store and The Cheesecake Factory.

Tallahassee has a booming college culture, but if you don’t live close to the campuses, you’ll hardly know students are here. The good news is the universities and community college also offer an unparalleled opportunity to be exposed to educational and cultural activities usually not found in cities this size. And thanks to all that higher education in our backyard, lots of really smart people live here. Tallahassee’s biggest employers are the state government and higher education, so we’re not really poised for explosive growth. The booms don’t happen here, but neither do the busts. It all evens out. Leon County only has one municipality and that’s Tallahassee, which owns the city utilities. For those who get city gas and electric, there are some pretty spectacular rebates offered for switching to naturalgas,upgradingtomoreenergy-efficientappliancesandweatherizing your home. We’re a pretty traditional bunch. Trends don’t make it here until they’ve been around for a year or two. But by then, all the crazy fads have faded away and you can buy clothes or decorate the house knowing both will have some staying power. If you like sports — as a participant or as a spectator — you’re in luck. There are sports programs galore for children and adults. And even if you’re a transplanted Gator like me, you have to experience at least one Seminole home football game. And a Florida A&M University homecoming parade.

True, we’re not on the coast, but you’re not exactly in Kansas, either. In Tallahassee, you’re about a two-hour drive away from some of the best beaches in the world. 2015|16 Tallahassee Newcomer

VEHICLE & VOTER REGISTRATION

VOTER REGISTRATION

Residents may register to vote any time of the year. To register, you must be a U.S. citizen, a Florida resident and in full possession of your civil rights. If you have been adjudicated mentally incapacitated or if you have been convicted of a felony, call the Office of Executive Clemency at (850) 488-2952 to restore your rights. You must be 18 years old to register. However, if you are 17 or if you have a valid driver’s license before your 17th birthday, you may pre-register to vote. To vote in an upcoming election, you must be registered to vote 29 days prior to the day of the election. Changes in political party must also be updated before the registration deadline. Florida is a closed primary state, meaning only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for their respective party’s candidates in a partisan primary election. Those registered as independents or with minor parties are eligible to vote in primaries that have nonpartisan elections. A universal primary may occur when the only candidates for a public office are of the same political party. In that case, all registered voters in the candidates’ race may participate, regardless of party affiliation. In general elections, all voters may vote for any candidate or question on their precinctspecific ballot. Florida voter applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections’ office in the Bank of America building, just behind the Leon County Courthouse, at 315 S. Calhoun Street, Suite 110. You may also register to vote at all public schools, libraries, driver’s license offices, public assistance agencies, as well as numerous banks and businesses around the capital city. Or you can download the

registration form from the Supervisor of Elections website, leonvotes.org. There are three ways to vote: by mail with an absentee ballot, early voting prior to the election and on Election Day at the 165 polling locations in Leon County. Absentee ballots are mailed at least 45 days prior to an election and can be tracked by the voter on the Supervisor’s website. Want to know if you are registered to vote in Leon County? You can visit the website and with a few keystrokes, know your voter registration status. The website offers complete information about upcoming elections, precincts, elected officials and more. Or, call (850) 606-VOTE (8683) for more information.

MOTOR VEHICLES AND LICENSES

Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and Leon County Tax Collector’s Offices

DRIVER’S LICENSE Your first step to obtaining a Florida vehicle registration is obtaining a Florida driver’s license. Out-of-state drivers are required to obtain a Florida driver’s license within 30 days of residency. A new resident is exempt from taking a road test if they can provide an unexpired driver’s license from another state. To apply for a license, drivers must provide a form or identification such as a birth certificate (your out-of-state driver’s license cannot be used), proof of your Social Security number and two documents proving your current residential address, such as a recent utility bill, mail from a financial institution or a mortgage statement. You will also pay a processing fee. A change of address for in-state drivers must be submitted to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles within

10 days of a move. Address changes for drivers moving from within the state only may be made at express.hsmv.state.fl.us. VEHICLE REGISTRATION Once you have your Florida driver’s license, you will also need to obtain car insurance from a Florida insurance agent before you can register your vehicle. Bring proof of Florida insurance, your Florida driver’s license and your original outof-state title to a local Florida county tax collector’s office. If you are still making loan payments on your car, and your out-of-state title is under the possession of a lienholder, the tax collector’s office will assist you in contacting the lienholder to obtain the title. In addition, vehicle identification number verification is required for all used motor vehicles titled in Florida. Registering goes hand in hand with the titling process. In the state of Florida, motor vehicles are required by law to be registered and titled within 10 days of the owner becoming employed, placing children in public school or establishing residency. Florida license plates are valid until midnight of the owner’s birthday. License plate renewals are accepted 90 days prior to the owner’s birth month. In-state registration fees are assessed according to the weight of the motor vehicle. Out-of-state drivers must pay an initial registration fee, a fee for the registration of a new metal license plate and a transfer fee, if needed. For more information, call (850) 617-2000. Fortunately, obtaining your Florida driver’s license, vehicle registration, title, tags and new license plate can all be done at once at any of the Tax Collector’s offices listed in the ad on page 8. These locations accept cash, check and all major credit and debit cards. 2015|16 Tallahassee Newcomer

LIBRARIES

ocal public schools are under the direction of the Leon County School Board. A wealth of information about local public education and individual schools is available on the district’s website at leon.k12.fl.us. The site includes information on registering new students, as well as an easy-to-use page to determine what school zones you live in. Parents registering a student for the first time should be prepared to provide proof of residence (such as a utility bill), the child’s birth certificate and other identification, proof of immunizations and, if appropriate, transcript information from the child’s previous school. For more information, call (850) 487-7100. You can learn what bus routes serve your area by accessing the school system’s Transportation Department web page. REGISTRATION Parents with children who will be entering kindergarten or who will be attending public school in Leon County for the first time are encouraged to register their kids during pre-registration, which schools generally hold in late April and/or early May for the next school year. Schools continue taking registrations throughout the summer for new families moving to Tallahassee. In all cases, parents should contact their zoned schools to get the registration process started as soon as possible after securing their residence. Students who will be entering kindergarten must have certain immunization documentation on file at school before the start of the new school year. Students entering seventh grade need documentation of a Td/Tdap booster vaccine. The Leon County Health Department provides routine back-to-school immunizations Monday through Friday by appointment or at special extended-hour immuniza-

tion clinics. All children receiving immunizations through the Health Department must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. PUBLIC SCHOOL OPTIONS Leon County also offers a variety of school choice options to provide as many options as possible to maximize student learning. There are a variety of special programs available, such as International Baccalaureate, science, technology and fine arts. Families apply by March 1 of each school year for controlled choice that includes magnet schools and other special programs. Contact the School Choice Office at (850) 487-7546 for more information about attendance zones and choice options. CHARTER SCHOOL OPTIONS Charter Schools are public schools contracting with the district to provide services to students. Leon County has five charter schools. Each offers a unique opportunity and setting. Families can obtain more information about each school by visiting their websites or calling the schools directly. HOME SCHOOLING Families who choose not to send their students to a public school are responsible for all aspects of the education of their students. However, there are a few requirements families must satisfy in order to home educate their children. For example, students must be evaluated annually. The District’s Home School Office can assist families who choose this option. Their number is (850) 487-7804. PRIVATE SCHOOLS Tallahassee is also served by several private schools, which offer education opportunities from preschool through high school.

THE LEROY COLLINS LEON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM consists of a main library in downtown Tallahassee as well as six branches and a traveling bookmobile. Leon County residents are eligible to apply for a free library card (children under 18 must have a parent or guardian co-signer). The library offers patrons a plethora of services, and many — including requesting and renewing books — are available online. Libraries are located at Tallahassee’s three institutions of higher learning — Florida A&M University, Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College. In addition, the State Library of Florida is located in downtown Tallahassee.

THEY CARE TALLAHASSEE’S WE CARE NETWORK MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED IT

BY CHAY D. BAXLEY // PHOTOS BY MATT BURKE

n a muted cobalt conference room, Barbara Wynn’s eyes grew misty as she told the story of how she and Dr. Amit Jain, her oncologist, became acquainted. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I didn’t have insurance,” she said, her voice choking. “I was terrified. I didn’t know where to go or what to do.” Wynn’s situation isn’t unusual. Luckily, though, her version has a happy ending. As a We Care Network patient, Wynn, 63, received all the care her diagnosis required — from initial exams, to surgery, to chemotherapy and ultimately radiation. And, amazingly, it cost her nothing. It was all pro bono. Because that’s the We Care way.

THE WHO

“Somehow, someone told me that I should try We Care,” recalled Wynn. “And I did, and there was Dr. Jain. I really don’t know what I would have done without him. I was so scared. And then there he was.” Somewhere in her comments, Wynn stopped trying to hide her emotions. She isn’t alone, though — many of the network’s patients echo her heartfelt sentiments. “If We Care didn’t exist, I don’t know what I would have done,” admitted a tearful Uriah McKenzie, 61. “It (was) really bad (in) the months leading up to December (2013), when my prostate numbers were three or four times higher than what normal should be.” Like Wynn, McKenzie’s test results were a marker for cancer, prompting his primary care physician to refer

MEDICAL OVERVIEW

him to a specialist — in his case, the Southeastern Urological Center. But without insurance or the funds to cover his visit, McKenzie was at a loss. As the sole provider for his family, his concern for the welfare of his wife and two college-aged daughters made him nearly inconsolable. That’s where We Care came in. They exist to help the Wynns and McKenzies of the world. Or, at least those residing in and around Florida’s capital city. Others have similar stories. Ketsia Jean-Pierre, 28, a student veteran at FAMU wrapping up a degree in business, was studying for final exams when she began experiencing a severe pain in her jaw. Soon, the entire left side of her face started to swell. She knew the culprit — she had been plagued by dental pain since childhood. This time, though, the ache crept towards a 10. “I actually got involved, because I didn’t have insurance,”said Jean-Pierre, as she held the side of her face, recalling her discomfort.“I had two toothaches that were throbbing, and I didn’t have a lot of options. I went on the hunt asking ‘OK, is there something I can do? Is there a dentist who is willing to see me or give me time? Please?’ ” It didn’t take long before she found her answer in the We Care Network.

THE HOW

Founded by local physicians in 1992, Capital Medical Society Foundation’s We Care Network focuses on people throughout the region who find themselves plagued by an illness they can’t afford to treat. The system operates through a successful combination of compassion, enthusiasm and manpower, by tapping into an elite group of volunteers — more than 300 medical doctors and 40 dentists — to bring care to folks who are struggling in Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson and Wakulla counties. Because patients must be referred by their primary care physician, local doctors can act as gatekeepers — offering the service to those they determine truly need it. Thus far, their tactics have worked remarkably well. Since We Care’s inception, $60 million in medical and dental care has been donated, with more than $5 million in 2014 alone. Everything from doctor’s visits to hospitalizations and tools of the trade (i.e. sutures, bandages and inoculations) are all donated. Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and Capital Regional Medical Center are intimately involved in the process, too, volunteering their facilities both before and after for patients who require surgery or intensive care. “In order for a patient to be eligible,” explained Pam Wilson, executive director at We Care, “there cannot be any other program that would pay for their care. They can’t have insurance and their income must be at or below 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.” In layman’s terms, that’s annual earnings of $17,655 for an individual or $36,375 for a family of four. One of the most unique things about the We Care Network, though, is the relationships the physicians have formed with each other. Through their latticework of connections, getting patients the care they need is often as simple as a phone call to a friend or colleague. “We knew that this was an early stage cancer,”shared Jain, on Wynn’s breast cancer diagnosis, “so we knew that it was a curable cancer. We wanted to get it removed as soon as possible.”

Dr. Michael Hartley volunteers some of his days at the “The Molar Express” — a dental clinic located near Railroad Square — where he’s able to offer patients like Ketsia Jean-Pierre immediate relief from their unrelenting pain.

“OVER THE YEARS I THINK THAT … THE EFFICIENCY OF WE CARE AND THE AMOUNT OF PATIENTS THAT GET SEEN IS JUST GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. WE DON’T HAVE THAT LONG WAIT OR TROUBLE GETTING PEOPLE IN ANY MORE. THE LOGISTICS. IT’S JUST A WELL-RUN MACHINE NOW.” — DENTIST DR. MICHAEL HARTLEY

MEDICAL OVERVIEW

“WE GOT INTO THIS BUSINESS TO HELP PEOPLE. THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE BOTTOM LINE. ANY PROGRAM LIKE THIS THAT WE CAN DO TO GET PEOPLE BETTER ACCESS TO CARE AND PREVENT DISEASE PROCESSES AND TREAT THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE TREATED, I THINK IT’S A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF.” — UROLOGIST DR. DANIEL RACKLEY

“The next step was to get her set up for surgery. That’s why I talked to Dr. (Shelby) Blank, who very gladly saw her within a week or two. She checked her out and said she would certainly do the surgery. That happened within a month of us finding the cancer.” Wynn’s timeframe for care was on par with the national standard. As a result, she is now in remission. The impressive effects of this well-versed organization are the labors of We Care’s five full-time employees, who act as expert community coordinators. They’ve streamlined this charitable process and paper trail for the doctors involved, making medical treatment a quick, user-friendly process. For the professionals involved, the convenience and efficiency We Care presents is invaluable. “Over the years I think that … the efficiency of We Care and the amount of patients that get seen is just getting better and better,” shared Dr. Michael Hartley, a dentist at Chichetti, Torgerson & Hartley. “Like you got seen right away,” he gestured to Jean-Pierre. “We don’t have that long wait or trouble getting people in any more. It’s just a well-run machine now.” Still, We Care insists it’s the volunteer physicians and dentists that make the program a true success. “They are so giving,” stated Shannon Boyle, We Care’s marketing communications and events coordinator,“and they want to do it. This is their program, and they pride themselves on it and helping people within the community, because this is their community.”

AND THE WHY

Everyone has his or her own motivations for initially pursuing a career in medicine. For the physicians and dentists involved with We Care, though, a philanthropic disposition is the only major requirement. “We got into this business to help people,” explained Dr. J. Daniell Rackley, the urologist in charge of McKenzie’s case. “That’s pretty much the bottom line. Any program like this that we can do to get people better access to care and prevent disease processes and treat the ones that need to be treated, I think it’s a great privilege to be a part of.” On average, Rackley estimates that he and his partners at Southeastern Urological Center see approximately 20 We Care patients each month, rotating them intermittently into their schedules. For his part, he admits to only being vaguely aware when a patient comes in through the network. Because, in those instances, the course of treatment doesn’t veer fundamentally from the typical trajectory. For a specialist, seeing a We Care patient is the difference of a couple of signatures. In “doctor-time,” that’s a big deal. According to Blank, a general surgeon who has been affiliated with We Care for more than seven years, the capital city’s medical community is no stranger to pro bono work. When she got the call from Jain asking her to help save Wynn’s life from breast cancer in late 2013, she jumped at the opportunity — an act of kindness, she said, that isn’t all that rare. “Once we know about a patient with cancer, they’re going to get care,” assured Blank. “But sometimes (the patient) doesn’t know that that’s available and they don’t know that that’s going to happen, so they never even cross our threshold.” “We Care gets them to us,” she continued. “I think that one of the biggest things is just making that connection. They provide a great service.”

Although Uriah McKenzie, a former educator and real estate investor, fell on hard times during the Recession, he was able to obtain quality care from urologist Dr. Daniel Rackley through We Care. Tests came back cancer free — but the pair have vowed to stay vigilant.

THINGS TO DO

10 MUST-SEE PARKS T 1

allahassee is home to almost 90 parks — everything from multi-use facilities encompassing hundreds of acres to tiny neighborhood “pocket parks,” boasting little more than a bench and a creek. There isn’t room to list them all, but here are 10 parks offering a plethora of playtime possibilities. A.J. HENRY PARK NAMED in memory of property owner Dr. Joe Henry, this 72-acre gem is located amidst Killearn’s seven northeast neighborhoods and offers a playground, four picnic shelters, a large picnic pavilion and plenty of shady space for walking and observing nature. A.J. Henry Park Drive can be accessed from either Gardenview Way or Whitney Drive East. CASCADES PARK After years on the drawing board, the new Cascades Park, located at 1001 S. Gadsden St., is quickly becoming Tallahassee’s social center. A twin-use stormwater facility/community gathering place, this downtown venue is home to the Capital City Amphitheatre, an interactive water fountain, playground and miles of multi-use trails. ELINOR KLAPP-PHIPPS PARK Located on the east side of Lake Jackson at 4000 N. Meridian Road, this wild, 670-acre tract is perhaps the largest outdoor recreation spot in Tallahassee, with room for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It’s also the site of the exciting annual Red Hills Horse Trials. JACK MCLEAN JR. PARK, CENTER & POOL There are 52 acres of fun at Jack McLean Park, located at 700 Paul Russell Road. The park features five picnic shelters, grills, a playground, four basketball courts, two tennis courts, a fitness trail, two bike trails, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits and a 24-hole disc golf course. There are also swimming pools and a 20,386-square-foot indoor recreation center. GOVERNOR’S PARK While it’s on the map, this park is probably one of the best-kept secrets in Tallahassee. The entrance is located off Blair Stone Road between Mahan Drive and East Park Avenue, and the property is known for its gently sloping open hill, scattered trees and woods trails. Great place to play catch with the kids and pups.

LAFAYETTE HERITAGE TRAIL PARK This park encompasses what used to be one continuous wet prairie system, but in 1950 a series of dams chopped it up into three distinct sections: Upper Lafayette, Piney Z Lake and Lower Lafayette. It’s now a great place to fish, bike, run, walk and paddle. The park entrance is found at the east end of Heritage Park Boulevard in the Piney Z Plantation subdivision.

PARK AVENUE CHAIN OF PARKS The Chain of Parks is actually a series of seven small urban parks in Tallahassee’s historic Park Avenue district. An April art festival and weekly arts and crafts and food market are held here. It’s a great place to be in the spring, when the rose bushes and azaleas are in bloom.

Lincoln Neighborhood Service Center 438 W. Brevard St. (850) 891-4181

SAN LUIS MISSION PARK Located north of Mission San Luis on San Luis Road, the park features covered picnic pavilions and lots of shady woods, walking around Lake Esther, plus a kids’ playground. Nice place to walk your leashed pooch or quietly contemplate the world around you.

Palmer Munroe Teen Center 1900 Jackson Bluff Road (850) 891-2569

TOM BROWN PARK Located east of Capital Circle Southeast between Mahan Drive and Apalachee Parkway, Tom Brown Park is considered Tallahassee’s bestknown outdoor playground and is the home for the city’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show, as well as other events. There are fields for softball, baseball and soccer as well as a disc golf course, a dog park, tennis courts and lots of other open spaces.

10 WINTHROP PARK TENNIS CENTER Located east of Mitchell Avenue south of Betton Road in the heart of Betton Hills, Winthrop Park has a playground, six tennis courts, racquetball courts, picnic tables, ball fields and a beautiful yellow rose garden near the entrance.

Suddenly, five people jump out, binoculars in hand, begin to call out names — Whimbrel, Snowy Egret, Barn Swallow and Boat-tailed Grackle — and mark them off a list. “That’s the thing about birders, they just stop wherever they want to,” said Jim Cox, a scientist at Tall Timbers Research Station, who was able to identify 85 different bird species during the five-hour evening trip. Whether you want to enjoy the beautiful array of colored feathers or want to explore life beyond the concrete jungle, birding offers a unique hobby, lifestyle and sport. Birding, or bird-watching, can be done by foot, boat or car. For competitive sorts seeking excitement and adventure, The Big Year (celebrated in a 2011 movie of the same name) is a competition where birders strive to see as many different species as they can in 365 days. Bird-watcher achievement certificates can be earned through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) “Wings Over Florida” program. Or, take a more relaxed approach and do some avian identification from the comfort and convenience of a favorite patio chair in the backyard. Birding enthusiast While birding is a great excuse for travel, don’t Andy Wraithmell think you have to venture too far. Tallahassee ofsnapped this shot fers some of the best birding in the world.

THINGS TO DO

BIRDING BASICS ⊲ When selecting binoculars, make sure the magnification is at least 7-power and the diameter is four to five times larger than the power — 7 x 35 or 8 x 40, for example. The larger the lens, the heavier the binoculars — so be sure it will be comfortable to wear around your neck and carry for a few hours. ⊲ Purchasing a field guide is easy, but be sure to learn how to use it. Trying to identify birds flying around at 30 miles per hour while flipping through pages is not an easy feat and can lead to frustration. Learn how the guide is organized so you know the general section to turn to — most guides are in phylogenetic order (based on evolutionary history). Some tech-savvy birders may find it easier to download a field guide app on their smartphone, such as Sibley Birds where you can see pictures and hear recordings.

Florida. “We call them twitches because there was a birder in England that had a nervous energy when he saw a new bird,”as if he were twitching with excitement when checking a previously unseen bird off his list, explained Wraithmell. “Tallahassee is perfectly situated for anyone who enjoys watching birds, whether it’s from a backyard feeder or at any of the many public lands like state parks and the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge,” said Adrienne Ruhl, vice president of the Apalachee Audubon Society. During migratory seasons, areas of the Big Bend will knock off some “lifers” (another term for a new bird) off your list and surround you with hundreds of colorful species —“the type of event that hooks someone for life,” said Cox. After 25 years of birding, Cox’s binoculars had seen better days. New binoculars weren’t seen as a viable option due to their sentimental value, so he sent his to get repaired. “I want to be buried with those things,” said Cox. Quality binoculars are key to bird watching. According to “Bird Watching Basics,” written by Cox and distributed through the FWC, binoculars affect the quality of your birding adventures. Know what birds will be found in our area and whether they are permanent Florida residents or migratory visitors. Here, migration seasons are in the spring (mid-March to mid-May) and fall (early August to December). “The fall migration period is longer, because they’re not in much of a rush to leave Tallahassee and the weather,” said Wraithmell. But there are some migratory birds that have become permanent, such as the Canada Geese that enjoy Tallahassee so much they decided to grace us with their presence year-round. A cool, fall morning when birds are singing as they search for their breakfast is the best time for a trip (avoid mid-afternoon when birds are less active). Birding in the evening offers great sunlight and settings for photography lovers. According to Wraithmell, the go-to place in the fall for Tallahassee is Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park to see the Cerulean

THINGS TO DO and Canada warblers that attract visitors from all over the state. For hummingbird enthusiasts, eight species of hummingbirds come to Tallahassee in the winter, making it one of the best spots in the world. Surprisingly, even bad weather can spark some of the best birding days when “fallouts” (the sudden appearance of large quantities of migratory birds) occur. These birds find refuge in Tallahassee after flying the equivalent of 20 marathons from parts of Central and South America. Just because you don’t know the difference between a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and a Scarlet Tanager doesn’t mean you can’t learn. “Wherever you are, pay attention,” said Katy NeSmith, zoologist at Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Whether it’s on your morning walk or sitting in your backyard, the birds are everywhere. Start by browsing eBird.org or perusing a Florida bird field guide to get familiar with the birds around you. New birders commonly “want to attach a label right away, but watch the birds, then figure out the name,” advised Wraithmell. Paying attention and taking detailed notes on the birds will help you to distinguish the bird and remember it in the future. According to Cox, there are five keys to identifying the bird — shape and size, plumage, behavior, habitat and voice. Tallahassee has several clubs, such as the Apalachee Audubon Society, offering regularly scheduled, organized trips. “Comede et bibe Dormite avibus,” or “Eat, Sleep and Drink Birding,” is the motto of the more casual Tallahassee Bird Club that holds café meetings and spontaneous birding trips twice “Tallahassee is a month. perfectly situated for Don’t be intimidated by club anyone who enjoys members’ experiences. They welcome all ages and levels of birdwatching birds, ers. Wraithmell helped found the Tallahassee Bird Club on the whether it’s from a that its camaraderie would backyard feeder or premise welcome people of all demographics. Birding is often thought of as a at any of the many hobby for older generations, but by public lands like incorporatingtechnologyandsocial media, the club is encouraging a state parks and the more youthful crowd.

Besides the fixed costs vice president of of the essentials, you may have to fork out some money to pay for gas the Apalachee and park fees, both minimal when Audubon Society carpooling with fellow birders. While inexpensive for participants, birding and other wildlife viewing offers great economic value to Florida. St. Marks Wildlife Refuge, for example, “attracts people from all over the world and is a year-round guarantee to see plenty of birds,” said Helen King, field trip committee chair for the Apalachee Audubon Society. Birding and other wildlife viewing trips are second only to beach activities as the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the state according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Wildlife viewing provides Florida with nearly 45,000 full-time jobs and brings in more than $2.7 billion in total trip and equipment expenditures, twice what the Florida orange brings to the state, according to Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “People aren’t going to come to Tallahassee for shopping, but they will come for the birds and wildlife,” said Wraithmell. Getting stuck in the capital’s 5 p.m. traffic can make you feel as if you’re trapped in a cage, but going to a local park or taking a day-trip to outlying protected wildlife areas can help to spread your wings. “Most birders do it because birds represent freedom and have no international boundaries,” something that attracted Wraithmell and millions of others to the world of birding. So go outside, close your eyes and feel the Florida sunshine away from the sounds of cars, loud music or construction, and enjoy the breeze … and the sound of nature’s finest singers.

BACKYARD BIRDING Nothing is better than waking up with your morning coffee and a bluebird outside your window waiting for you. “They know when we’re coming,” said Mary Huggins and Susan Teisciero, owners of Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop. With the help of experts, you can turn your backyard into your favorite birding location. Huggins and Teisciero agree that water is the most important element in attracting birds to your yard. Drinking and bathing water will bring birds that may not eat from your feeders. Putting a mister, dripper or water wiggler in your birdbath will entice other birds like tanagers, warblers and hummingbirds. On average, birds eat 20 percent from feeders and 80 percent from the land. Providing blends with sunflower seeds, safflower and millet, for example, will attract a variety of birds. Planting native berrybearing plants is also a good idea. During nesting and migration, high-energy foods like suet, bark butter and mealworms will attract insect-eating birds. Putting your feeder near bushes and trees is essential for protection against predators, and baffling your feeder pole will keep unwanted visitors (snakes, raccoons and squirrels) away. Birds in search of a place to raise their young can find a secure home in your backyard with the use of nest boxes.
