For those who have been around a long time, this should jog your memory. I am trying to find
all the history on this houseboat that serviced folks at the end of Hwy 40 on the river side in
Yankeetown around 1960. The back of the card reads: The Pirate Ship..Directly on the Gulf at the
mouth of the Withlacoochee River, Yankeetown Florida. Immediate access to the finest fishing in
Florida. Refreshments, Bait, Tackle, and Boats. Guide Service for hunting or fishing parties. by ar-
rangement. Contact Jim Scurlock Inglis Florida. Card postmarked 1964. Jack Sparks, a legend who
just passed, his son Scott Sparks remembers working on the Pirate Ship for Harry Billy Scott’s
Grandmother, Annie B Scott around 1960. If you can add to the history please send me an email
with the contact email or phone number on my Tradewinds Realty ad in The Newscaster. Sally Price

proper latch for child safety restraints in this safest seat, so children must often be placed
behind the driver or the front passenger. The National Transportation Safety board has rec-
ommended (since 1996) that children be restrained in booster seats through the age of 8, but
21 states, including Florida, and 2 U.S. territories have not passed this law. Florida also has
no provision in the law relative to the height and weight of a child. However, many safety
organizations recommend keeping children in booster seats until they are at least 4 feet 9
inches tall and weigh at least 80 pounds.

Now that you are aware of how lenient Florida’s law is for child safety restraint,
why not allow an Inglis police officer to help you? Officer Brian Hilberer will be on hand
at Plaza 40
Monday afternoon, Dec. 6, to help distribute the car seats and answer your questions.
