White House Boys , Florida School For Boyshe Florida School for Boys, also known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (AGDS), was a reform school operated by the state of Florida in the panhandle town of Marianna from January 1, 1900, to June 30, 2011.[1][2] A second campus was opened in the town of Okeechobee in 1955. For a time, it was the largest juvenile reform institution in the United States.[3]Throughout its 111-year history, the school gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff. Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued.After the school failed a state inspection in 2009, the governor ordered a full investigation. Many of the historic and recent allegations of abuse and violence were confirmed by separate investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010, and by the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice in 2011.[4] State authorities closed the school permanently in June 2011. At the time of its closure, it was a part of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.[5]Because of questions about the number of deaths at the school and a high number of unmarked graves, the state authorized a forensic anthropology survey by University of South Florida in 2012. They identified 55 burials on the grounds, most outside the cemetery, and documented nearly 100 deaths at the school. The state said it did not have authority to allow exhumation of graves, which would permit determination of cause of death and identification of remains. (In addition it wanted to sell land on the property.) A family member of a student who died at the school in 1934, and who wanted to reinter his remains, filed suit and gained an injunction against the state's moving ahead with the sale before remains could be exhumed and identified. The state responded to the court injunction and authorized more work by a multi-disciplinary team from the University of South Florida, including exhumations. In January 2016, the USF team issued its final report, having made seven DNA matches and 14 presumptive identifications of remains. They will continue to work on identification.After passage of resolutions by both houses of the legislature, on April 26, 2017, the state held a formal ceremony to apologize personally to two dozen survivors of the school and to families of other victims. In 2018, bills were being considered to provide some compensation to victims and their descendants, possibly as scholarships for children.In 2019, during preliminary survey work for a pollution clean-up, a further 27 suspected graves were identified by ground penetrating radar. Many people, including former detainees, believe that over 100 bodies were buried on the schools grounds, and that further investigating should be done until all the remains have been identified and cared for.

Send us a textFirst, we go to Okeechobee to discuss some flexing by the Chief of Police against local gun owners, until he started getting stung by thousands of angry bees telling him he was out of line, including Gov. Desantis, Eric Friday of Florida Carry, and Luis Valdes of GOA, to name a few.  Then, on to Massachusetts where the governor is behaving like a narcissistic abusive parent and contemptuously flexing on the gun owners in her state as she throws an executive tantrum fueled by their insolent challenge to a recent gun-control law there.Tune in and share!!WJS GunsGun and Outdoor Shop, ammo, accessories, fishing tackle, moreGlover Orndorf and Flanagan Wealth Mgmt.Wealth management servicesSicarios Gun ShopFirearms, Accessories, Ammo, Safes, and more!Freedom GunsFirearms, Ammunition, Accessories, Training classes SHOOTINGCLASSES.COMOnline business operations platform for firearms instructors, trainees, and Shooting RangesThe Gun Site9-Lane 25 yard indoor Shooting Range, Gun Store, Training classesThe American Police Hall of FameMuseum and Shooting Center (open to public), Law Enforcement and Civilian TrainingCounter Strike TacticalBest Little Gun Store in Melbourne, Florida!

//The Wire//1830Z September 30, 2024////PRIORITY////BLUF: HURRICANE DAMAGE IN SOUTHEASTERN US CATASTROPHIC. DOCKWORKER UNION STRIKE TO BEGIN TOMORROW, SHUTTING DOWN MOST EAST COAST PORTS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-USA: A nationwide Verizon outage was reported this morning, affecting most of the United States. AC: As cellular communications have been strained due to the increased demand throughout the southeast, localized outages have been reported. The cause of this national outage has not been disclosed however, and is possibly unrelated to storm damage. The widespread telecoms issues throughout the southeast already present an exceptionally vulnerable target for malign actors, both foreign and domestic.Throughout the East Coast, the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) labor union has voted to conduct the first total port strike since 1977, starting Tuesday, October 1. Most high-risk rail freight has already been stopped as of last week, so as to avoid HAZMAT or other lootable materials being stuck on the track due to the labor strike. On the west coast, land-based freight is already overwhelmed as cargo operations shift to trucks, of which there are not enough to mitigate the impacts to freight operations. As such long lines and processing times are being reported around the country at every major logistics hub.AC: The impact that this labor strike will have on logistics will without question be catastrophic due to the devastated American southeast. If this goes forward, the logistical problems already in play will likely result in a near-total breakdown of most cargo operations throughout the eastern United States. East coast ports being shut down, with union members picketing, combined with the apocalyptic damage reported in the southeast, presents a clear and present danger to national security.Southeastern US: Devastation from Hurricane Helene remains at historic levels due to the sheer scale of the disaster. Potentially thousands remain missing, and NCDOT authorities continue to urge everyone to consider all roads in western NC closed until further notice, even interstates or major highways. Asheville is the largest metropolitan center that has suffered severe damage, largely due to all roads into and out of the city being blocked or unnavigable for most vehicles. Looting has also been reported throughout most of the flood damaged regions.Florida: The city of Okeechobee is under a state of defacto martial law as the Chief of Police Donald Hagan signs a Local State of Emergency declaration nullifying the 2nd Amendment. The possession of firearms in public and the sale of ammunition has been completely banned. The display of firearms by gun stores has been banned. AC: As it stands in this municipality, this is appears to be a complete and total ban on the possession of all firearms in public. It is unknown as to if law enforcement officials are enforcing this policy or not.Georgia: A major chlorine processing facility caught fire in Conyers over the weekend. This is one of the most significant factory fires in Georgia's history, with plume analysis indicating hazardous debris being deposited throughout the region. Initial reports from local responders indicate that chlorine has been detected, leading to mass evacuations around the factory and a shelter-in-place order for the entirety of Rockdale county. AC: Details are unconfirmed regarding the origin of the fire. However the internal fire suppression system itself may have exacerbated the situation as chemicals have reacted with the water, resulting in either the fire starting in the first place, or at minimum the blaze being more substantial. Haze and chemical odors have been reported in Atlanta, prompting local authorities to recommend the closing of exterior ventilation systems for structures and vehicles throughout Fulton county.Washington D.C. – The White House

On December 7th, 2016, 22-year-old Jessica Seger had plans to visit her sister, 25-year-old Amanda Suarez, at her home in Okeechobee, Florida.  When Jessica arrived at the home, she noticed something strange: the door was open.  And what lay inside proved to be horrific, as her sister's body was set on the floor, posed and covered in blood.  Along with the body was Amanda's hysterical 2-year-old child.  Jessica grabbed her nephew and ran up the block to call the police.  In the ensuing investigation and interviews with family and friends, investigators compiled a small list of potential suspects.  But it was only after the discovery of a single piece of evidence left behind by Amanda herself, that detectives were able to narrow it down to one prime suspect.  What followed was a tale of extreme depravity of the worst kind…   Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.

The broadcast features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at two events in Leer and Hamburg.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Leer event was recorded on 10 December in the Kulturspeiche and featured the Bingumer Shanty Choir and Anne-Fleur Gabor and her band while the Hamburg event was recorded on 17 December in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club featured the Swedish-South African duo "Fjarill." The broadcast was primarily in German with some greetings in other languages. Many of the songs were in English, too.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters in Nauen (NAU), Germany; Issoudun (ISS), France; Tashkent (TAC), Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida (RMI), U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The schedule (in UTC) was: 1800-2100 on 6030 ISS 250 kW / 251 deg to North/East Atlantic1800-2100 on 6080 TAC 100 kW / 301 deg to West/Central Europe1800-2100 on 9635 NAU 250 kW / 130 deg to Indian Ocean - West1800-2100 on 11650 ISS 250 kW / 148 deg to Indian Ocean - SoAf1800-2100 on 13725 NAU 250 kW / 205 deg to Southern Atlantic1800-2100 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg to North/West AtlanticRMI, Radio Miami International, initially had problems with the start of the broadcast and missed about the first 17 minutes.The recording is primarily of the transmission on the frequency of 11650 kHz for the first two hours and the first part of the third and 6030 kHz for the rest of the third hour as the signal degraded slightly on 11650 kHz with some adjacent frequency interference. Since the receiver was initially tuned to 15770 kHz at the beginning of the broadcast until retuning to 11650 kHz, the first minute and a half of the broadcast was replaced in the recording with the corresponding part of the archived NDR studio recording The program was received outdoors on a Belka-DX receiver in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with a bandwidth of 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. Reception was good for the most part on both recorded frequencies.

This Labor Day weekend will find Okeechobee abuzz with both locals and our urban coastal neighbors eager to take in yet another rodeo experience in one of Florida's iconic arenas - one of the few remaining outdoor, uncovered, and privately owned venues. It's a piece of Florida history and a solid slice of Americana. The rodeo is the largest fundraiser for the non-profit Okeechobee County Cattlemen's Association and it affords the association the ability to give back primarily to the youth of the community, but to others as well. The rodeo is held biannually - once in spring with The Speckled Perch Festival and again in September as the Pete Clemons Memorial Labor Day Rodeo. This week as Hurricane Idalia bears down on the Big Bend and North Florida, I sit down at the Okeechobee Cattlemen's Arena with fellow OCCA officers/board members to discuss our memories of growing up around the rodeo, how it's shaped us as leaders, and how it helps our community on so many levels.

In today's episode of The Real State, we explore the intersection between independent living for people with disabilities and the communities in which they reside. Today's guest is Dan Shorter, CEO at the Coalition for independent living, a private non-profit client directed civil rights organization for children and adults with disabilities based in Palm Beach County Florida. The Coalition for independent living's goal is to promote independence for people with disabilities and has been active since 1989. Just in the past year they've assisted more than 5,000 families, free of charge, in Palm Beach County, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties.  

Nearing the end of his first season on the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals, Travis Harriman has had an up-and-down year. To start, he bombed at Okeechobee, before almost beating Dakota Ebare at Clarks Hill. One of the best in the field when it comes to random drawings, Harriman has had a busy few years and has interesting experiences mapping for Lowrance, fishing the Phoenix Bass Fishing League All-American and more.

 ^^photo credit goes to Evan Glicker @sattadondada (IG) for @isometricmag ^^ An interstellar cyber-funk bass champion, Freddy Todd has no time to waste in this galaxy. Born & raised in metro-Detroit, he found his way into the matrix at age 14, slowly understanding the intricacies of glitch found within Windows XP. After being bestowed a keytar from his main homie (his dad) at 22, he has continued to shred not only the minds of his fans but the evil vibes throughout the world. Freddy Todd is a psychedelic hyper throw down party for the people, and something to be witnessed and enjoyed at full volume… but also medium volume works (protect your ears). For the past decade, Freddy has played all over the realm from Australia to Canada to his main circuit in the United States. Notable performances include Red Rocks, Coachella, EDC Chicago, Okeechobee, Electric Forest, Shambala, Burning Man, on an airplane wing at a rave in the forest outside Portland, the Detroit Masonic Temple, and many others. Catch him at Electric Forest 2023 this summer along with many more soon to be announced festivities. “Freddy Todd, EDM producer, musician, and probable shapeshifter who has visited the golden idols of the moon…” -Duncan Trussell, 2019 Freddy Todd Links: Website: http://www.freddytodd.com Twitter, IG, FB, & tik tok: @freddytoddmusic   SC:https://m.soundcloud.com/freddytodd Bandcamp:https://freddytodd.bandcamp.com DONATE TO ALS FOUNDATION: https://donate.als.org Mr. Bill's Links: https://live.mrbillstunes.com/ https://discord.gg/ySjhgWQ https://mrbill.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBillsTunes Podcast Produced & Edited by: https://twitter.com/303FuMo
