CANAVERAL PORT AUTHORITY James A. Dubea, Deputy Executive Director

By Jim Hagerty

Cruise. Cargo. Real Estate. Recreation.

Those are the four core business lines of the Canaveral Port Authority. And they were the primary focus of James Dubea's presentation today. They also served as an introduction to the annual "State of the Port" event scheduled for Monday, June 16, 2014 at Cruise Terminal No. 6, 9242 Charles M. Rowland Dr.

Mr. Dubea, Deputy Executive Director of Government and Strategic Partnerships, has joined the Port Authority after 22 years in the United States Coast Guard. He has a BS degree in Information Technology Management and a Master's degree in Strategic Leadership from Trident University. In addition he is a graduate of Central Florida Political Leadership Institute, LEAD Brevard, the Coast Guard's Chief Petty Officer Academy and Chief Warrant Officer Academy. Mr. Dubea is also the Vice-President of the Port Canaveral Propeller Club.

The Canaveral Port Authority is a Special District within the hierarchy of the State Government guided by five elected Commissioners and a set of bylaws. Mr. Dubea's work at the Port Authority is accomplished, not only from his Coast Guard experience and training, as well as his educational background, but by careful coordination of programs and activities with community leaders and government and international agencies to ensure that Port Canaveral's maritime infrastructure is sustained as it expands its local, state and national transportation initiatives.

A summation of some of these initiatives was presented by Mr. Dubea through a description of several programs under way and at the planning stage:

The port at Canaveral has the potential to be the deepest and most serviceable among the several along the east coast from Miami to New England. Negotiations have been under way for several years to receive approval and assistance from the United States Army Corps of Engineers to begin the work that will make the Space Coast port the most attractive for international shipping, both cargo and cruise industries.

Presently, and with improvements to the port, the Port Authority-owned land will continue to increase in value for renting and leasing purposes. With that will come a parallel increase in jobs for Brevard County.

Again, with plans already on the drawing board, dredging and expanding the inlet eventually will bring a change in the moving of cargo internationally.

Foreign goods and products that now, and for generations, have been trucked or delivered by rail to Florida and the southeastern United States from ports and cities in the north will be unloaded here and moved to markets and industries much closer than Chicago, Philadelphia and New York, to mention a few.

Also, opportunities are already presenting themselves with the development of new cruise terminals, cove area development and small businesses leasing available real estate surrounding the port. Also, Jetty Park is becoming a larger, friendlier and attractive area for family leisure activities.

Thank you, Mr. Dubea for an excellent presentation. We are impressed.

For those interested in more details, the "State of the Port" report (June

16) will include an overview of port operations, budget matters and growth strategies.

A TRIBUTE TO MAYA ANGELOU

Active Member Ailish NicPhaidin not only gave a Sad Dollar in memory of Maya An-gelou – American literary figure (36 books, and poems, including “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”), actress, director, playwright, composer, teacher, singer and dancer (April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014), she also contributed an original poem to the “memorist” that was printed in the Friday, May 30 issue of Florida Today’s Public Interest section:

“The Bird Has Flown You shoveled it And piled it high You shed a tear And walked on by. You served it up And left it there For all the world To take apart. You had a son Who gave you joy You left a message In his soul. You shared a summer Bright and blue You served it up And left it there. You moved around And did not die Or lie or shave. You made us all A feathered nest Then flew the coop More souls to save.”

Maya Angelou Quotes

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

DISTRICT CONFERENCE REPORTS: JULIA BABBITT AND LYNDA WORKMAN

The 2014 District 6930 Conference (May 17 – 21) was informative, productive and fun for our two attendees, Julia and Lynda.

After setting up our Club display in the Friendship Room, Friday was a relaxing and get-acquainted afternoon followed by a day and a half of plenary sessions, award presentations, inspirational speakers, assembly-line food packing and entertainment.

Julia attended a session for clubs that are hosting Rotary Exchange Students in 2014-15. Our student from France, Gaelle Lambert, is due to arrive the week of Au-gust 1st. In cooperation with the Rotary Club of Melbourne, Gaelle will be attending Satellite Beach High School. Her first host family resides on Merritt Island.

Lynda volunteered with about 50 other Rotarians in this year’s special International Activity – putting together 10,000 meal boxes to be sent to Haiti. Tables were ar-ranged with identified task assignments. Sacks of foodstuffs, such as beans and rice, were doled out by cups into bags that were carefully weighed before being placed and secured into sealed cartons for shipment. Lynda said it appeared that her table won the unofficial “most-bags-packed” contest.

Both Julia and Lynda felt like “winners” after their three-day experience at Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Port St. Lucie. The Saturday night Sock Hop was “a blast.”

EVERY ROTARIAN EVERY YEAR AT 58% PARTICIPATION DICK BALLANTYNE ADDS HIS $1,000

With 58% of our members having donated by May 26, Club Co-Chair for the Rotary Foundation, Larry Cinco, encouraged the other 44% to add their names to the EREY banner with donations in $10 increments. To top his comments Larry presented to Active Member Dick Ballantyne his eighth Paul Harris Foundation pin. Dick is one of several in the Club who is a member of the Paul Harris Society, all of whom have pledged $1,000 a year for ten years to the Rotary Foundation. Now with three rubies in his pin, Dick said that he considers Rotary a great experience.

To make your contribution, and help us win the District’s 100% EREY Award, write a check to the International Rotary Foundation, use PayPal on the Club website, or pay in cash. Give your donation to either Co-chair Larry Cinco or Randy Golden, or to Club Treasurer Jack Ward before the end of June.
