It is located on the Caloosahatchee River approximately 33 miles (53 km) upstream from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The Franklin Lock and Dam was named after Walter P. Franklin (1871-1967), a businessman, civic leader, and mayor of Fort Myers, Florida. It is located at latitude 26° 43" 16', longitude -81° 41"40', on the Caloosahatchee River about 33 miles (53 km) upstream of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Lockage usually takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The lock operates from 7 am to 5 pm, 365 days a year, unless otherwise stated in "Notice to Mariners", published by the Coast Guard. Purpose The Franklin Lock and Dam were constructed for flood control, water control, the prevention of salt-water intrusion, and for navigation purposes. Technical information The lock chamber is 56 feet (17 m) wide by 400 feet (120 m) long by 14 feet (4.3 m) high. The lift of the lock is usually 2 to 3 feet (0.91 m) from sea level to the Caloosahatchee River water level. The channel is 90 feet (27 m) wide by 8 feet (2.4 m) deep. The lock chamber is concrete, with welded structural steel sector gates, and concrete gate bays. This lock has a discharge capacity of 28,900 cubic feet per second (820 m3/s). Lockage Vessels Approximately 15,000 vessels pass through annually, of which about 97% are recreational vessels. Commodities About 13,000 tons of manufactured goods, equipment, crude materials, food, and petroleum products are locked annually. Radio channel This lock operates on Marine VHF radio channel 13.

Holmes Regional Medical Center

The Holmes Regional Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital operated by Health First. It is located in Melbourne, Florida. It is a 514-bed facility, including the only level II trauma center in Brevard County. It also operates Brevard's only Level II Neonatal ICU. In 2010, the hospital had 38.8 percent of the patient admissions in the county, 23,250, twice the number of its nearest competitor in the county admitted. History In 1928 Dr. Isaac Hay opened what is now considered the first local hospital from which the current hospital traces its origin. In 1933, Mr. and Mrs. John Rhodes donated land for a hospital, in addition, a loan of $30,000 for a hospital's construction was obtained under the National Industrial Recovery Act. the Hospital was opened in 1937 on U.S 1. In 1953, James E. Holmes was elected to the Hospital's Board of Governors, serving as its president for the next 25 years, until 1978. In 1956, the city granted the hospital 10 acres (4.0 ha) on what is now the current site on Hickory street, leading to the hospital expanding in 1962 to 101 beds in a four-story building. by 1966, the hospital cared for 10,421 patients, 1420 new babies and 37,165 outpatients. In 1969, the hospital was expanded with the addition of a north wing, increasing the hospital's capacity to 331 beds. in 1978, as Holmes retired from the board, the hospital was named after him, and in 1983, the hospital's capacity was expanded by 206 beds, at the cost of $43 million. In 1986, the hospital constructed what was then the region's only complete cardiovascular program, and in 2004, the hospital was listed in Money magazine as "one of America's top hospitals" for Intervention Cardiology and Stroke Care. In 2011, it had 55.1% of its admissions through the emergency room, less than any other hospital in Brevard and below the state average of 61.6%. Some of this difference can be explained by procedural differences in how hospitals admit patients. Procedures In the year ending June 2010, there were 899 hospitalizations for angioplasty, the most selected surgery. References
Homestead Senior High School (Florida)

Homestead Senior High School is a public high school located at 2351 SE 12 Avenue in Homestead, Florida. It is part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. Homestead is one of two high schools serving a community that includes most of Homestead, Florida City and Leisure City. The high school offers magnet programs, including the Academy of International Business, the Academy of Aviation/Aerospace, Academy of Travel and Tourism, an Environmental Horticulture Science and Services program, and a Health Science Education program (one of only three such programs in the state that lead to a Certification in Practical Nursing). History In 1992 Homestead High School was severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew, forcing the school to delay opening for the 1992–1993 school year by two weeks. Most of the families in the surrounding community left after the hurricane, but a few stayed, living in tents, mobile homes, or shared accommodation in other parts of the county. Those students still living in the area were forced to attend other schools in the district, some of which were ten to fifteen miles away. The damage done to Homestead High School was not significant enough for it to be demolished. Within a year of the disaster, Homestead High School and nearby South Dade High School (also damaged by Andrew) opened their doors to the still-devastated areas welcoming students whose families had not left the area. Since the hurricane, the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic mix of the community and school has changed, mainly due to the building of low-income housing in the areas where middle-class homes were once located.

KSC Headquarters Building

The Kennedy Space Center Headquarters Building is an eight-story office building that houses the administrative offices of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Completed in April 2019, the structure, also known as the Central Campus Headquarters Building, contains the offices of the center director, management staff, personnel, procurement, and several hundred contractor and support employees. It also accommodates the KSC Library, travel office, film and photo archives, photo processing facilities, the Engineering Document Center, print shop, mail room, credit union, and security offices. The 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) building features modern offices designed to evoke the décor of the former headquarters, with all major administrative functions consolidated under one roof. It is equipped with air conditioning and energy-efficient, adjustable LED lighting throughout. Background As part of NASA's recent directives to expand and modernize the space center industrial complex to allow greater potential in the next space exploration programs, the Kennedy Space Center management office (including Robert D. Cabana) contracted Orlando-based architects and engineers to design and build a new headquarters building to replace the deteriorating original building adjacent to the site. The center's Master Plan directive spans a 20-year horizon and details the land uses, business policies and infrastructure needed for the center to remain the prime launch site for the rising industry of government and commercial providers. Original building The original headquarters building was a three-story, six-wing concrete structure located. Designed by architect Charles Luckman in the International Style, it was officially opened on May 26, 1965, and contained 439,446 square feet (40,825 m2) of floor space. Luckman, who also designed NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, designed the structure to reflect the modernist aesthetics of the era. The facility was vacated in April 2019 following the completion of the new headquarters building. Although initially considered for renovation, the structure was ultimately deemed too costly to modernize due to material degradation, asbestos contamination, and rising maintenance costs. The building was demolished in January 2022. Notes References and external links Brevard County listings at National Register of Historic Places

It is in the northwest section of the Old Town area of the island. History In 1847 it was established at its current location after an 1846 hurricane washed dead bodies from the earlier cemetery out of the coastal sand dunes on Whitehead Point near the West Martello Towers. An African Memorial Cemetery was dedicated beside the West Martello Tower in 2009. Slaves, ill from the sea voyage to slavery in "The New World," were buried there prior to the US Civil War.

Lake Barco

Lake Barco is a lake in Putnam County, Florida, United States. It is within the Ordway-Swisher Biological Station of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. It is roughly circular, about 200 metres (660 ft) in diameter. The nearest settlement is Melrose, Florida, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the northwest. Characteristics Lake Barco is a sinkhole lake, typical of the region, where unconsolidated deposits on the surface have slumped into the highly soluble limestone of the upper Floridan aquifer. The organic-rich sediments of the lake bottom lie on an unconfined aquifer made up mostly of sands. Below this are the unconsolidated clays and sands of the Hawthorn Group, through which water can penetrate, and below this the Ocala Limestone of the upper Floridan aquifer. Groundwater monitoring wells have been placed around Lake Barco and nearby Lake Suggs to study the hydrology of the area. The lake has a mean annual temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) and median rainfall of 1,280 millimetres (50 in). It is recharged throughout the year. The lake is fed from the north and northeast by shallow groundwater, which seeps out towards the west and south. Deeper groundwater also flows below the lake. From deuterium and oxygen-18 isotope dating it is evident that some water evaporates from the lake, while other water flows downward towards the Ocala limestone. The lake seems to have started to become more acidic around 1950 due to absorption of sulfate (SO4) created by industrial processes from the atmosphere. The lake modifies the chemistry of the water that flows through it. As the water moves through the sediments in the lake bottom, which are rich in organics, the water is depleted in oxygen. Ecology The lake is surrounded by evergreen forest and mixed shrub/grassland. Terrestrial amphibians, including the threatened gopher frog, use the lake as a breeding ground. It is an important watering hole for mammals and birds. The National Ecological Observatory Network samples the lake for aquatic organisms such as surface water microbes, macroinvertebrates, and zooplankton. References Citations Sources
