Fullterton Island to be Turned into a Destination

June 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Fullerton Island is getting a makeover. Over the next few weeks, workers will start to remove nonnative vegetation on the town-owned island in Jupiter in preparation for the new nature preserve that will welcome small boats and kayakers.

JUPITER HIGH 106bThe plan calls for more than just removing the vegatation, such as Australian pines and Brazilian pepper. They will also grade the island to a level for wetland preservation, promoting growth for native plants and increase water flow. About 3,000 knee-high mangrove seedlings will also be planted on the 12-acre island.

In addition to the new improvements, a new dive and kayak rental business is expected to open in the old Quarterdeck restaurant location on Indiantown Road, which is across from Fullerton Island. The improvements to Fullerton Island are intended to be part of the increased emphasis on ecotourism in northern Palm Beach County.

“We’re restoring a vital natural area with mangroves and other native plants that will draw birds and be a nursery for sea life,” said Julie Bishop, an environmental program supervisor with Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management.

Also included in the $2.1 million project will be a daytime public dock for about six small motorized boats and a water taxi that will allow non-boaters access to a covered picnic area on the island. The project is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2014.

Texting, Driving Ban Bill

December 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Republican Sen. Nancy Detert has proposed a new measure known as (SB52) to the Senate in the state capital of Tallahassee, that will ban any one operating a motor vehicle from texting or reading text, emails, or any other electronic message. It states that this will be a secondary offense which means that an officer could only ticket someone for this offense if they have stopped them for some other traffic violation. The thought is that if an officer sees someone texting and driving they can’t just go pull them over, but if an officer sees someone running a stop sign or speeding and texting they can tack on an additional fine to the other violation. However drivers would still be able to read safety related information, weather alerts, and navigational information without being penalized. The bill also states that texting and driving will be a non-moving violation that carries a $30 fine.

Detert has tried to sponsor this proposal the past two years with no avail, even though the bill has bipartisan support. Lawmakers will be back in full session during the month of March, bills can be submitted now with committee meetings on any proposed legislation starting in early December. This bill was the first to be proposed for the coming year; however the bill has not yet been referred to committee.

Florida like many other states has been urged by the National Transportation Safety Board to ban the use of texting or talking while operating a motor vehicle. The NTSB has stated that every year almost 4000 highway deaths are caused or contributed by the use of cellphones, stating that this information was taken from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. They also stated that nearly a quarter of Americans drivers admit to occasionally using a cellphone while operating a motor vehicle.

The magnificent beautiful scenery of South Florida and its surrounding areas can be distracting on its own. The sparkling turquoise blue water of the Atlantic Ocean meandering through the Jupiter Inlet can pull even the best drivers eyes away from the road for a moment; don’t let a text message take your attention off the road. Pull over and take a minute to take in the beautiful tropical setting, and to read your text or email.
