Librarians throw book at closing state library By Ron Hayes, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Sunday, February 16, 2003 After Florida's librarians learned last month that Gov. Jeb Bush wants to dismantle the Florida State Library and fire 55 employees, they decided maybe silence isn't always golden. And their roar has been growing ever since. Wednesday evening, about 50 area librarians -- city, county, academic, legal and corporate -- gathered in a meeting room at the Palm Beach County Library's main branch on Summit Boulevard in suburban West Palm Beach. Two hours and a lot of questions and complaints later, they had unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the governor to spare the institution, which was founded in 1845 when Florida became a state. Now, 158 years later, Bush wants to scatter it here and there to save $4.7 million out of a $54 billion budget. "Tell your legislators, 'Stop!' " Palm Beach County Library Director Jerry Brownlee urged the crowd. "We need to reconsider this right now. It doesn't mean there can never be any changes to the Florida State Library, or we can't do what needs to be done to balance the budget, but this is a serious matter." Artifacts are volatile issue The Florida State Library is 120 employees on 1 1/2 floors of the R.A. Gray Building in Tallahassee, 11 miles of shelf space and a million books, documents and microfilms, all about Florida. But it's also a 1589 map of Sir Francis Drake's attack on St. Augustine. And the diary of Gen. Thomas Jesup, who captured Chief Osceola in the Seminole Wars of the 1830s. And photographs of Key West in the 1840s. And the original plans for Disney World from the 1960s. Under Bush's plan, that map, the diary, those photographs and everything else in the library's Museum of Florida History and the State Archives would be transferred to the state's Park Services under the Department of Environmental Protection. "Putting archives in a recreation and parks department, I take offense at that," said Virginia Farace, director of the Boynton Beach Public Library and president of the Palm Beach County Library Association. "I respect them, but I don't believe I can do their job, and I don't believe they can do my job." The Bureau of Library Development, which coordinates summer youth programs and steers federal grant money to develop local libraries, would be moved to the newly created Department of State and Community Partnership. Most drastically, though, the circulating collection of about 500,000 books and documents also would be moved -- as soon as the state can find a place to put it. Florida State University had been approached about accepting the collection, but FSU President T.K. Wetherell balked when he was told the books would arrive with neither staff nor budget. "We're not playing a game," Wetherell told The Tallahassee Democrat. "We're out of it." Other universities are being approached, with Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale often mentioned as a candidate, but librarians argue that any university -- especially a private one, like Nova -- will always put its students ahead of the public. "If push comes to shove between serving the general public and serving their students, they'll serve their students," Brownlee predicted. Changing of the guard Wednesday's meeting had been postponed from December, when State Librarian Barratt Wilkins was to have been the guest speaker. But Wilkins begged off with vague apologies and suggested the later date. And then, on Jan. 6, he resigned after 26 years on the job. "The first I learned of the plan was on November 22," Wilkins later wrote to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development, which will consider the budget request in March. "I was sworn to secrecy. At that time I decided to retire. Of course, I do not agree with the Governor's plan." Local librarians had hoped the new state librarian, Judith Ring, would appear instead. She didn't, but sent a four-page letter defending the plan. "The Governor is fully aware of the history of the Division and its importance to Florida's citizens," Ring assured them. On Friday, Florida Department of State spokeswoman Jenny Nash emphasized that Bush's proposed budget includes $45.6 million for libraries. Nash could not cite any money specifically set aside to support the state archives but said 15 of the department's 19.5 employees (one part-timer) would be transferred to the Department of Environmental Protection, along with the museum collection. Nash declined to identify specific sites where the circulating collection may find a home but noted that Nova Southeastern receives about 50 percent of its development money from Broward County taxpayers. And, she said, it is possible the circulating collection may be split among several different depositories. "I don't know if it will be moved or divided between libraries," Nash said. "We hope to maximize the use of the interlibrary loan service so no matter where it ends up, it will be accessible anywhere in Florida."

"We hope to maximize the use of the interlibrary loan service so no matter where it ends up, it will be accessible anywhere in Florida." Nash noted that the state library's annual circulation is only about 60,000, comparable to a small branch library. But librarians say it's unfair to compare a sophisticated historical library filled with important but arcane works to that of a library that offers Stephen King and Danielle Steele. "This is a library that serves librarians, not that many people go in off the street," conceded Annie Kaklamanos, librarian for the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach. "But they help me a lot. They not only loaned me a document that's very rare, they overnighted it to me for the court to use. Now I'm going to have to chase around and find out where all these documents land." Ed Nordine, library director at Palm Beach Atlantic University, said the state library helps smaller libraries such as his develop. "As PBAU grows, we have more faculty doing specialized research," Nordine said, "and when the littler libraries get left out of the picture, we lose access to those materials." Office emptying? The $4.7 million saved would be a very minor benefit for such a major upheaval, the librarians agreed. "No one believes money is the reason for this particular decision," Brownlee said, and Wednesday's meeting was spiced with fearful speculation from librarians who began by saying, "I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but... " One librarian who wasn't afraid to speculate was Jane Terwillegar, director of the Lake Park Public Library. "The governor said in his inaugural speech that he really wanted to empty the offices in Tallahassee, and I see this as a part of that effort," she said. On Jan. 30, Terwillegar, Brownlee, Farace and about 100 other members of the Florida Library Association met with Ring, interim Secretary of State Ken Detzner and Deputy Secretary of State Frank Mann at the Leon County Public Library in Tallahassee. "They outlined what they were planning to do, and we booed and hissed," Terwillegar recalled. And then they came home and started "Save Your State Library," issuing resolutions, writing letters, raising money and calling legislators to rally support. They are not alone. The national American Librarian Association, the American Association of Law Libraries and the Florida State Genealogical Society have written Bush opposing the plan. On Monday, the Florida Historical Society established an online petition protesting the closing. By Friday, more than 4,500 signatures had been attached, with another 1,100 awaiting verification, according to Nick Wynne, its executive director.

We used about the same thing. However, when Campho Phenique came out we found that it had much of the same in it.

OK - here it is. The recipe for the Homemade Liniment that my family has used for years: Take a 16oz. bottle of ordinary rubbing alcohol and remove 8 oz. of into another bottle. Then add each of the following and mix well: 2 oz. Oil of Wintergreen 2 oz. Iodine 2 oz. Camphor 2 oz. Turpentine Warning - some of the ingredients are getting more and more difficult to find. You are more likely to find them at small, independently-owned drug stores. Disclaimer - Use at your own risk! External use only! I make no claims as far as your results, but my family has used this mixture for many years for sore muscles, aching backs, etc. It does generate a bit of heat, so try it on yourself before using it on children. My children refer to it as "Granny's Liniment" and often as small children wanted it applied to the smallest boo-boo. ―---------------- I am interested in other "home remedies".

Hi, Cousin Max and Cousin Michael, I will agree things are confusing. But William Jcakson Leavins married to Sarah Yohn was my relatives. Their daughter Laura Leavins was my dad's mother. He is Willard Allen Sims. Laura married James Edward Sims Sr. Matthew was William Jacksons Leavin's dad. But the Elijah Leavins lineage is Michael's family. So far they are not mine.

Hi all I was looking at the family of my ancestor, Alexander McGowan, on the 1900 census for Holmes County. In his household, his son, Henry Nathan McGowan, and daughter in law, Emma, are also living with 2 children. The oldest child is EMMA JESSE LAIRD, born October 1893 in Florida. I suspect the child Emma is the daughter of the adult Emma by her first marriage. Thought this might help anyone researching this surname. It can be found in Precinct 13, Matthews Mill, p. 13.

I don't have a Wilburn in my files. Most of those I have were researched by someone else. I wish I could have helped.
