Okeechobee County's first jail built in the early 1900's located at 300 N.W. 2nd Ave., Okeechobee Florida could not be saved. Due to structural issues, this historic land mark began its demolition this week. As I drove past yesterday, my heart sank as I witnessed the "old jail" coming down. I could only think of the stories or better yet the books that could have been written from all the events this tiny jail witnessed. Thoughts of cattle rustlers, cheating gamblers, bank robbers and other Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies flashed through my mind. The contractors have saved most of the original bricks and will use them in another new beautification project in the future. I have attached photos, the 2nd story cell is very visible with solid steel and the old bars. Okeechobee's next historic project is the train depot, don't let the opportunity to help this project fail, contact and join Okeechobee's Main Street for more information and how you can help.

Delray Beach, FL, March 7, 2009 -- Stephen Jara, Owner and Managing Broker for Pristine Properties International, a participant with Cabela's Trophy Properties, is pleased to announce that Karen MacLean has joined the firm as a Sales Associate at the Okeechobee Branch Office.

My husband Greg, a retired professional bass fisherman, and I moved to Okeechobee, Florida in 1990 to be close to Lake Okeechobee. We followed a dream and opened a fishing tackle retail store, Okeechobee Fishing Headquarters, which has grown to be a huge success. I noticed a trend in our store where customers vacationing in Okeechobee, were interested in the real estate in our area. Wanting to give them an informed opinion is what led me to my real estate career. Now, with my knowledge of the area and real estate market and my husband's knowledge of Lake Okeechobee, where he has fished for years and where he has won a Championship title for a Bassmaster Invitational tournament, we can offer our expertise to anyone who thinks they may want to make Okeechobee their home.

"I am pleased to welcome Karen to our Real Estate Company," said Jara. "I am confident that she will add to the success of our International Team." Karen can be contacted on her cell phone at (863) 634-5949 or Karen@PristineFlorida.com
