not measurable, consideration is the relief of stress and the improvement of the person’s
sense of self-esteem, once they know what is wrong with them, and they are given direction
to a solution of their problems.
The county bus is always on time, and the driver told us that he realizes the im-
portance of this program. Some of our clients are nervous about going to the hospital, and
our clients said that Johnny, the driver, makes them feel at ease. Next week, we will send
two groups to CMH. We will have a 10:00 a.m. and a 12:00 p.m. bus, rather than the bus
standing idle and our clients having a long wait. Everyone accepts that changes must occur,
and the program must evolve. It is a pleasure working with professionals who really want
the best for our clients and work to solve problems that come up. This is a very positive and
important program, and it can do a lot of good.”

her sight. In an exciting moment Tracy said she spotted the flipper entangled manatee re-
cently again, this time with baby and put out an alert for help. The injury was worse than
expected and a local fix here would not work. Mother and the near three month old calf were
captured and transported to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. Bob Bondi, a 32 year research biolo-
gist with U S Geological Survey said “It is a testimony to our presence when you save the
flipper from self amputation and it looked clean within a week.”
Michael Lusk, who manages the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge Com-
plex which includes the Three Sisters Springs property said the rescue and release could
not have gone better as he watched over and helped with the return of the mother and calf.
Helen Spivey, co-chair of the Save The Manatee Club who helped get funds for the first
manatee “manambulance” was on hand to rejoice at the reunion of mother and baby in a
real emotional event. When Rosie the manatee was transported years ago it was by dump
truck. Today there is a state of the art transport.
Three Sisters Springs is a natural place for warm water instead of power plants
that are artificial. The sanctuary right outside of the entrance to the spring is roped off for
those manatees that chose not to interact with the many people who flock to this area for a
manatee experience or viewing. Strict rules need to be followed if you plan to view these
slow moving docile mammals.
