LARGO — Unless city leaders have a sudden change of heart, the property tax rate for fi scal year 2020 will take a dip.

City commissioners voted 7-0 on first reading Sept. 3 to decrease the rate from 5.7413 to 5.62 mills, with one mill equal to $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.

The decrease doesn’t mean tax bills will be lower for residents, though.

Since Largo’s total taxable property value spiked 7.96%, homeowners with a home-steaded property with the city’s average taxable value of $94,852 will see the Largo portion of their tax bill increase $4.

Will Payne, Office of Performance and Budget manager, told commissioners that the new rate would still generate an addi-tional $1.389 million in total revenue in

LARGO — Pinellas County commission-ers thanked staff for its work during a spe-cial meeting the morning of Aug. 31 where they unanimously declared a state of emer-gency ahead of Hurricane Dorian’s expect-ed arrival in Florida.

Commission Chair Karen Seel attended by phone and Commissioner Kathleen Pe-ters was in Miami and unable to attend. The state of emergency gives the county ad-ministrator the authority to waive purchas-ing requirements and order evacuations if necessary in advance of the storm. The declaration remains in effect until Sept. 6.

The decision to declare the emergency occurred about two hours before the Na-tional Hurricane Center released its 11 a.m. advisory showing that Pinellas County

Inspirational Harley rider to hit road for fundraiser

By JOHN GUERRA


David Barr has prosthetic legs, but he’s ridden his 1972 Harley Shovelhead, wide-guide Harley-Davidson more than 83,000 miles.

Between September 1990 and May 1994, he went for it, riding from Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America to the Arctic Circle, from Baltimore to Prudhoe Bay, across Aus-

tralia, Europe, Russia, Vietnam, and China and of course, across Africa. In effect, he has circled the globe from north to south and east to west.

He has braved every environment, riding atop icy rivers and lakes and barreling across ancient roads in the shimmering expanses of the Gobi Desert, where the wind causes building-high dunes to sing.

ST. PETERSBURG — Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority and Greyhound Lines are sharing bus traffi c and customer service space in Pinellas Park as of Sept. 1.

PSTA Board of Directors unan-imously approved a license and easement agreement with Grey-hound and Shoppes at Park Place during its Aug. 28 meeting. The agreement continues through Aug. 31, 2024.

James Bradford, PSTA’s chief

operating officer, and Ed Weath-erford, Greyhound’s regional real estate manager, updated the di-rectors with details of the partner-ship. Weatherford said the deal with PSTA was part of Greyhound’s nationwide project to collaborate with transit lines to provide a better experience for its customers.

Greyhound will share bus space and the customer service win-dow at the Shoppes at Park Place. The service center will expand its hours to 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Greyhound picked the area due to its proximity to I-275 and because it was close

to shopping, dining and entertain-ment, as well as multiple connect-ing bus routes provided by PSTA.

The license agreement includes insurance and liabilities specifi ca-tions; designations for Greyhound bus boarding and alighting; main-tenance and repair requirements; security coverage; access restric-tions; and other responsibilities.

Bradford called the agreement a “win-win” for everyone — Grey-hound and residents of Pinellas.

Greyhound serves nearly 60 cit-ies and towns in Florida and makes connections throughout the United

States, with the exceptions of Ha-waii and Alaska.

Greyhound will operate seven days a week and depart Shoppes at Park Place’s customer service center at 8:20 a.m., 3:15 p.m., 4:40 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. It will provide alternative transportation to Tampa to supplement PSTA’s 100Xand 300X routes.

The agreement allows for two ad-ditional five-year renewals. Grey-hound will pay PSTA $1,667 on the fi rst day of each calendar month.

Bus stop at Largo apartments

Kathy Perrin, service coordina-tor at Heritage Presbyterian Apart-ments, 10200 122nd Ave. in Largo, talked to directors about concerns due to plans to discontinue bus service to the apartments.

She said she had talked to Bob Lasher, external affairs offi cer, that morning and learned that PSTA was going to provide Direct Con-nect and DART service for the 400 residents who live at the apart-ments.

She said the residents of the building, who are low income with an average age of 70, were depen-dent on PSTA and reminded the di-rectors that seniors wanted to “age in place” and needed help to do so.

“These are tough times for elder-ly people,” she said. “They lose all they have. They don’t want to lose the bus.”

Lasher explained that alterna-tive services would be provided via Direct Connect, which is a free or low-cost service from United Taxi that they can call as many times as they need seven days a week to get a ride to the bus stop on Seminole Boulevard. Some also may be able to use DART, PSTA’s Demand Re-sponse Transportation services for people who are disabled.

The reason PSTA is eliminating the stop at Heritage is to shorten travel time for riders of Route 18. Lasher said making the loop to the apartment complex adds about 10 minutes to the length of the route, which already takes more than two hours.

PSTA staff will conduct training sessions to teach residents about Direct Connect and DART, and fu-ture sessions will be held to make sure new residents know how to use the service. Training sessions are currently scheduled on Sept. 19 and Oct. 22.

Director Vince Cocks, citizen rep-resentative, asked staff to moni-tor the situation and make sure taxis are available so residents are able to get to their appointments on time.

Police BeatSheriff’s employee fired after DUI arrest

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri fi red a longtime employee Sept. 1 after she was charged with driving under the infl uence, according to a media release.

Deputies arrested Samantha Lynn Krenek, 37, about 6:23 p.m. Sept. 1 after stopping her black 2019 Infi niti sedan, which was traveling north on U.S. 19 North, just south of State Road 580.

Krenek has been an employee of the sheriff’s offi ce since Jan. 24, 2005. She worked as a child protection investigation supervisor.

Deputies say Krenek’s vehicle had been traveling at excessive speed and the driver was failing to maintain a single lane. Deputies stopped the vehi-cle and Krenek was the only occupant. She identifi ed herself as a sheriff’s offi ce employee.

Deputies say they noted that Krenek showed signs of impairment, had bloodshot and watery eyes, and there was a distinct odor of alcohol. Krenek agreed to perform fi eld sobriety tests, but performed poorly on them.

Deputies say that Krenek submitted to a breath sample, which indicated she had a breath alcohol concentration of .283/.286. In Florida, the legal blood alcohol or breath alcohol level is .08.

Krenek was arrested and charged with one count of driving under the infl uence. No bail was set. She was released on her own recognizance.

Krenek’s employment was immediately terminated following the arrest, which is consistent with sheriff’s offi ce policy.

Clearwater man charged with murderCLEARWATER — Police say they charged a 26-year-old Clearwater man

with fi rst-degree murder Sept. 1 in connection with a shooting at a resi-dence on Grove Street.

Clearwater police responded to a call about a shooting about 11 p.m. Aug. 31 at 1133 Grove St. They say that a verbal dispute between Derek Omasta, 31, and Deshon Marquice Powers over a parking spot became vio-lent when Powers got a gun from inside the house and shot Omasta.

Police say Omasta was transported to Morton Plant Hospital where he later died.

Powers was taken to the county jail where he was charged with fi rst-de-gree murder. He is being held without bail.

Body of driver found in Tampa BayThe Florida Highway Patrol says the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Marine

Unit found the remains of a man near the Howard Frankland Bridge the morning of Aug. 29.

The body is the driver of a 2006 Saturn SUV that plunged into Tampa Bay during a crash on Aug. 28. FHP has identifi ed the man as Hiran Reis Vaz, 53, of Tampa.

Crews removed the SUV from Tampa Bay the morning of Aug. 28; however, no occupants were immediately recovered.

FHP reported it was investigating a two-vehicle crash at the southbound 34 milepost on the bridge.

Latest information from FHP indicates a 2015 Ford F150 driven by Wilson Dennis Rowland, 30, of Tampa had been traveling south on I-275 in the inside lane near milepost 34 about 7 a.m. A 2016 Saturn SUV was traveling south on I-275 at high speed.

The Saturn began to tailgate the truck before making a lane change to the center lane. The truck then made a lane change in front of the Saturn.

Troopers say the Saturn made another lane change back to the inside lane and attempted to pass the Ford truck. As the Saturn was attempting to pass, the truck made another lane change into the path of the Saturn.

As a result, the rear left side of the truck collided with the front right side of Saturn. After the impact, the truck spun into the center concrete wall while the Saturn was pushed to the outside shoulder, spinning and overturning multiple times.

The Saturn hit the outside concrete barrier and went over the wall into the Bay.

Detectives warn of scammer posing as deputyPinellas County Sheriff’s Offi ce detectives are encouraging the public

to be on alert to a recent phone scam occurring in the county. A suspect

is calling residents and identifying himself as Deputy Jackson with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

According to detectives, the sheriff’s offi ce was notifi ed about the scam on Aug. 28. The suspect knows the name or a family member’s name and the address of the person being called.

The suspect informs the citizen that they have an outstanding warrant for missing jury duty. The suspect is calling from a local number, 727-401-4808, and will request victims to return his call if he misses them. The suspect tells the victim that if they don’t turn themselves in at the sheriff’s offi ce, or pay fi nes, they will be arrested at their residence.

The suspect instructs the victim to go to the nearest store to purchase gift cards. The suspect then instructs the victim to provide the numbers on the back of the gift card and claims that the warrant will be purged from the system once the money is paid.

HAIRCUT

4A Largo Largo Leader, September 5, 2019

“I made a motorcycle journey around the world, across all six continents by road or dirt track, some 83,000, hard-ridden miles,” Barr told the Beacon.

Barr rode all those miles exposed to the elements, braving sub-ze-ro temperatures, high winds, boil-ing heat, stifl ing humidity and of course, rain, snow, sleet, and thun-der and lightning.

“I’m in the Guinness Book of Re-cords,” Barr told Tampa Bay News-papers. “I rode my Harley across northern Europe to Russia and on to the Arctic in an unbroken line.” The publishers rejected his fi rst at-tempt on a rule infraction, so Barr got on his bike and succeeded the second time.

The American Motorcycle Associ-ation inducted Barr into its Hall of Fame in 2000.

“Barr has written books, pro-duced documentaries, earned two Guinness World Records, and es-tablished a foundation to support a charity that assists disabled peo-ple,” the AMA notes on its website.

And Barr accomplished all these incredible things long after a land-mine exploded under his unar-mored vehicle and took his legs.

Joining the U.S. Marines when he was 17, the California native served as a crew chief and right door helicopter gunner in Vietnam. After his tour ended he came home, but left again to fight for foreign governments, including Israel, Rho-desia, and South Africa.

“While I was a sergeant in the South African Parachute Brigade in 1981, we were riding in what was a fi ring platform for twin Brownings,” Barr said. “We rode over an an-

ti-tank mine that was meant for a heavy tank, not the light vehicle we were in,” Barr said.

It is an understatement to say the mine — which had been set by South West Africa People’s Or-ganization (SWAPO) guerrillas — changed his life. He emerged burnt and broken, but survived after 20 surgeries, including the amputation of one leg below the knee, the other just above the knee.

He believes the mine was meant for him because it was outfitted with a clicker that let other vehicles pass over it first. That selectivity indicates to him that his survival is a sign that God had other plans for him.

Those who would like to meet Barr and ask him about his adven-tures on the road (he crossed the Namibian Desert twice) will be in Safety Harbor on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Safety Harbor-Patriot Ex-press Honor Ride & Party.

“This is my fi fth year at Safety Harbor-Patriot Express Honor Ride & Party,” said Barr, who said he found that raising money for other injured vets might be just what God had in mind. In that role, Barr does what he can to raise money for other military veterans who need a hand up.

“When our service men and women return from duty, emotion-ally or physically damaged, we aid the families, spouse, and the chil-dren,” Barr said, stating the Patri-ot Express Foundation’s mission statement. “Our military may sac-rifice for our freedom, but so do their loved ones who are left here, hoping, and picking up the pieces of war.”

The foundation, locally support-ed by Garry W. Dodd, president

of Precision Services Inc. in Safety Harbor, was founded in 1996. Pa-triot Express is actually a series of motorcycle-related events and fundraisers held throughout the United Sates. Money raised at the events helps those with post-trau-matic stress, suicide, high di-vorce rates, debilitating injuries, and other problems veterans face. The donations pay for support and counseling to the families of injured veterans, including the troops who return from duty with long-term medical needs.

“Too often veterans shoot them-selves or get addicted to drugs, be-cause they feel life gives them a curveball,” Dodd said. “Dave does this to let them know you can still participate and do anything you want to do if you follow your dreams.”

“No one in the organizations is paid,” Barr said. “We have paid out some $5.5 million in charity to veterans in recent years. It goes for rent, school supplies, whatever you can think of a family might need.”

“When I rode in the Arctic, tem-peratures were in the minus-40 degrees and I had to start my mo-torcycle with a blowtorch,” Barr said with a laugh. “My good friends in Florida can certainly ride with me for a day in the sun.”

Edward (Skip) Martin, owner of Precision Prosthetics of Memphis, is the man who adjusts and tunes Barr’s prosthetic legs. The good doctor lost his foot in 1971 when he crashed his Honda motorcycle on the way to high school.

He had planned to sign up for Vietnam, but the accident closed that door but opened another.

“He and I bought that Honda

350 together and I ran to the hos-pital as soon as I heard he had crashed,” said Dodd, who grew up with Martin in Memphis. “Another driver pulled out in front of him; the settlement he received from the accident paid for his degree in pros-thetics from Northwestern Universi-ty in 1973.”

Martin also rides in poker runs and other fundraising drives. He continues to help many injured military veterans of the Gulf War and Afghanistan.

“I just tell all of them, you’re not disabled, you’re differently abled,” he said. “It’s very rewarding, I’ve been doing prosthetics for 46 years. I will be there in Safety Harbor to ride in the poker run.”

Patriot Express registration is 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7, at VFW Post 10093, 965 Harbor Lake Court.

“We’ll have a breakfast and then kickstands are up at 11:30 a.m. for the poker run,” Dodd said. “We’ll do one big loop starting at the Har-bor Bar in Safety Harbor, driving through Pinellas County and up to Hudson; it’s a 100-mile ride ending back in Safety Harbor.”

Bikers collect a playing card at each stop; at the end of the run, the best hand wins. For those who want to forgo the poker run, arrive on Main Street in Safety Harbor for the street party, which will last until 11:30 p.m.

The street party includes live bands, food, silent auction, and 50/50 raffl e so others can raise a lot of money for veteran causes that day.

“One of the bars will also try for the Guinness Book of Records by building a 200-gallon Bloody Mary,” Dodd said.

and Tampa Bay was no longer in Dorian’s forecast cone.

As it turns out, Dorian ended up being nothing more than an exer-cise in hurricane preparedness for Pinellas.

But the county was ready to open shelters and order evacua-tions if hurricane-force or tropi-cal-storm-force winds, heavy rains, flooding and power outages had occurred.

By that Saturday morning, Pi-nellas had been in Dorian’s fi ve-day forecast cone for six days and offi -cials expected it to remain there for at least two more days.

County Administrator Barry Burton pointed out that Dorian was still a “very dangerous hurri-cane.”

“We don’t know the effect it will have on Pinellas County,” he said. “It could be anything from tropi-cal-storm-force winds and long pe-riods of heavy rains to something even more severe depending on the path of the hurricane.”

Burton was speaking during a 9 a.m. meeting before the latest fore-cast was released from NHC.

On Saturday morning, NHC said the area has a 30% chance of expe-riencing tropical-storm-force winds beginning sometime late Sunday or early Monday morning. Rainfall totals of about 2 inches are expect-ed. On Friday, the local area had a 70% chance of wind impacts and 6-inches of rain were expected.

“The only thing certain about this storm is the uncertainty,” Pi-nellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said at the Saturday morning spe-cial meeting of the County Com-mission.

Gualtieri and Pinellas County Emergency Management Director Cathie Perkins supported the de-cision to declare an emergency in advance of the storm.

Perkins had asked that every-one be “good neighbors.” She said while it is good to be prepared, people should not buy more than they need, especially when it comes to water, gas and nonper-ishable food.

Reports started coming in Thurs-day afternoon of bare shelves at local grocery stores and water shortages. Many gas stations had lines as people fi lled up ahead of the possible tropical weather. AAA was reporting gas shortages occur-ring throughout the state.

The county opened its Citizen In-formation Center as soon as Pinel-las was included in NHC “cone of uncertainty on Aug. 27. As of Labor Day, 1,745 calls had been received. The county distributed more than 31,000 sandbags. Several munici-palities also provided sandbags to residents trying to prepare.

Pinellas County Schools, which hosts most of the hurricane coun-ty’s shelters, as well as local col-leges and universities, were closed Tuesday and many events were canceled, including city meetings,

due to Dorian.Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued

an emergency declaration for the entire state.

“Due to Hurricane Dorian’s un-certain projected path, I am ex-panding the state of emergency to include all 67 counties through-out Florida,” the governor said in a press release. “All residents, es-pecially those along the east coast, need to be prepared for possible impacts. As it increases strength, this storm has the potential to se-verely damage homes, businesses

and buildings, which is why all Flo-ridians should remain vigilant. Do not wait until it is too late to make a plan.”

Dorian was a record-setting storm. It is the strongest hurricane in modern records to hit the north-western Bahamas. When the eye of Dorian made a second landfall Sunday afternoon on Great Abaco Island near Marsh Harbour, max-imum sustained winds were 185 mph, which tied Dorian for the re-cord of the strongest Atlantic hur-ricane landfall on record with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.

As of press time, it was still un-known what Dorian’s impact would be on the east coast, but Pinellas County’s firefighters and rescue teams were gearing up to assist. A team from Pinellas and Hillsbor-ough counties left for Orlando on Monday afternoon to be ready to assist.

Pinellas County officials urge residents to stay prepared, as hur-ricane season is not over until Nov. 30. The most active part of the sea-son is occurring now. Residents and businesses are should make sure they are following the three critical steps: know your risk, make a plan and stay informed. Regis-tering for Alert Pinellas and down-loading the Ready Pinellas app for iPhone and Android will help with the process.

Pinellas County’s Animal Ser-vices is considering a new “return-to-fi eld program” to help reduce the feral cat population. Currently cats are not allowed to live outside or roam freely.

Under the proposed return-to-fi eld program, strays brought into the animal shelter that are healthy but too feral for adoption would be sterilized, ear tipped, vaccinated and returned to their original loca-tion to live as community cats.

The premise is that a healthy group of sterilized community cats will prevent unsterilized feral cats

from moving into an area and re-producing, slowing the growth of the feral cat population.

The county held public input meetings on Aug. 20, Sept. 3 and 5 to communicate the proposed program and get feedback. Resi-dents also can provide feedback via a short online survey at www.pinel-lascounty.org/catsurvey.

Based on the county’s goals and residents’ feedback, the county’s current outdoor pet cat policy will remain unchanged and pet cats will not allowed be allowed live outside.

To try to control the feral cat population, Pinellas currently uses a Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Re-lease program.

The program is administered by Meow Now, which is the only orga-nization in the county that provides a TNVR program.

According to information on the nonprofit group’s website, www.

meownowfl.org, estimates show there are more than 160,000 free-roaming cats in Pinellas. TNVR is recognized as an effective way to manage these cat populations. Cats are sterilized, vaccinated, ear tipped and returned to their outdoor homes, called “colonies,” where a caregiver provides food, water, and other care as needed.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, only about 2% of community cats in the Unit-ed States are spayed or neutered and these unsterilized cats account for about 80% of kittens born each year, making them the biggest source of cat overpopulation in the United States,.

A “return-to-fi eld” policy (TNVR), which the county is considering, is an effective way to control and decrease feral cat colonies over time through sterilization, according to a press release. The program builds

on the county’s current community cat policy, which allows residents to care for free-roaming cats that are sterilized, ear tipped and vac-cinated.

The county has a link to answers to several frequently asked ques-tions, such as “what is a communi-ty cat.” The answer: A community cat is any feral or free-roaming cat that is cared for by one or more individual caregivers, if the cat is sterilized, up to date on rabies vac-cination, and distinguished from other cats by being ear-tipped.

To read additional questions and answers, visit www.pinellascounty.org/catfaq.

the general fund, and would aid the city’s progress in building and maintaining a balance in the gener-al fund near the target of 20%.

City Manager Henry Schubert’s budget originally called for a tax rate of 5.6 mills, but members of the Finance Advisory Board and City Commission agreed that a $3.5 million project to reconstruct the city’s 43-year-old Parks Divi-sion building needed to move for-ward.

Therefore, budget officials pro-posed the alternative rate to fund the estimated $400,000 in an-nual debt to reconstruct the 7,434-square-foot facility, which the city says lacks enough space and has ventilation and plumbing problems.

The commission also gave ini-tial approval to the $174.35 million budget itself. Of that, general fund expenditures total $86.2 million.

OPB Director Meridy Semones said the budget continues to follow the direction provided by the city’s strategic plan and offers several noteworthy projects.

“Our focus on community pride offers the preliminary design phase for the City Hall reconstruction project, launching a new brand in downtown, replacing dilapidated signs throughout the city, invest-ing in programming and facility improvements at the Central Park Performing Arts Center and re-branding of the communications and marketing division to focus on community engagement,” she said.

Other initiatives include a Largo Central Park 25th anniversary event, installing a new self-check-out system for the library, the launch of a new $3.5 million En-terprise Resource Planning system to modernize most of the city’s “back-offi ce” processes, and imple-mentation of a new homeless out-reach team to help facilitate access to regional resources.

The budget also calls for a 25 percent increase in wastewater fees in fi scal year 2020, which begins Oct. 1. The hike would be the fi rst since 2007.

A second and fi nal public hear-ing for both the millage rate and budget will be held Tuesday, Sept. 17.

6A Viewpoints Largo Leader, September 5, 2019

WASHINGTON — I got into a Twitter war with radio talk show host Sebastian Gorka last week. It began when Gorka crowed about Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem having his White House press pass suspended for 30 days because of his lack of “de-corum” at a White House event.

For those of you not tethered to the realm of shallow stories with no purpose other than to incite umbrage on social media, the tale began with a White House social media summit, followed by a July 11 Rose Garden event at which President Donald Trump spoke.

I rushed off to fi le a story as soon as the event ended, so I missed the fi reworks that followed. Karem made a nonsensical wisecrack that he claims was part of his stock Rodney Dangerfi eld impression, about those seated before him: “This is a group of people that are eager for demonic possession.”

From somewhere in the Rose Garden, Gorka started shouting, “And you’re a journalist, right?” as he approached Karem.

Karem responded, “Come on over here and talk to me, brother. We can go outside and have a long conversation.”

Gorka took that invitation to be “threatening” — but Karem did not have an aggressive posture during the exchange. Karem later maintained he just wanted to talk. As for Gorka, he was shouting in Karem’s face and calling him a “punk.”

On Aug. 2, Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham informed Karem she was suspending his hard pass for 30 days because of his behavior.

I’ve told Karem I think he should apologize for the “demonic possession” crack. There was a time when a good apology should have defused the ten-sion and taught everyone a lesson on civility.

Gorka should apologize as well — for being the short fuse looking for a match in the Rose Garden.

He abused White House “decorum” standards, such as they are. Twice. When Voice of America News’ Steve Herman asked Gorka why Gorka blocked him on Twitter, Gorka called Herman a name my editors prefer I not use in this space. In the Rose Garden.

So, yes, when Gorka tweeted to White House Correspondents Associa-tion President Jon Karl for rightly protesting the hard-pass suspension, I responded.

Gorka had written, “If faux-journalists who act like drunken sailors and dive bar punks, like Brian Karem, actually showed some decorum in the White House, perhaps they wouldn’t get suspended you hack, @jonkarl.”

“Your behavior in the Rose Garden that day was hardly a mark of deco-rum,” I responded. Fighting words, apparently.

Gorka promptly dismissed me as a “punk journalist,” informed me I never would be a journalist and recalled my lack of decorum when we fi rst met.

That would be in the time I saw Gorka — who worked in the adminis-tration briefl y — leaving the White House and asked him questions about Trump’s fi rst trip abroad. He stated that he was a human being, and the media should be more sensitive about his feelings as such.

There had been recent media reports that he was about to be fi red from his White House perch. I fi gured he thought I was going to ask him about whether he was going to be fi red. Truth is, I don’t go for palace intrigue stories. Besides, I saw his job security, or lack thereof, to be of zero interest to readers of my column. I wanted to know about Trump’s trip.

So even as he shouted at me for asking a foreign policy question, I react-ed with empathy.

Back to Twitter and the point of this column. When I spoke back to Gorka, he blocked my account, as his followers dutifully branded me a liberal-activist journalist and shared their opinions on my 64-year-old ap-pearance. Some even referenced my private parts.

The irony: Like Gorka, his groupies, who frame themselves as arbiters of real journalism, didn’t bother to fact-check their assumptions. They assumed I was a liberal, and they didn’t check so they never learned how wrong they are.

Like Gorka, they’re the real hacks. Gorka had blocked my Twitter account — which meant I could not see

his tweets about me. Then he unblocked me and read the tweet I had post-ed on his followers’ factually challenged assertions and the crude personal remarks directed at me. Then he blocked me again, but fi rst he teweeted.

Mr. Decorum’s reaction? A gentleman’s apology for crude words which he did not condone? Some recognition that some of his clueless furies had gone too far? Hardly.

Gorka likened me to the Nazis. “So you’re applying the ‘collective guilt’ principle? The one the Third Reich made famous? Classy move,” Gorka typed.

I’ve been in Twitter combat before. When Charlie Sykes, editor of the conservative “Never Trump” publication, The Bulwark, told The Atlantic his site would target high-profi le conservatives who support Trump as “grifters and trolls” who should be shunned by polite society, I railed against the wrongness of getting too personal with conservatives who see Trump’s policy strengths. (As opposed to anti-Trump conservatives who ignore his policy strengths.)

We cross-tweeted for the good part of a weekend. Then we met for lunch, argued some more and shook hands.

Gorka? Perhaps as the result of complaints lodged his way, he deleted his tweets about me with no fanfare or explanation. Decorum.

There are 388 ways to look at life. This was revealed to me years ago by a wise old Turkish woman. She said to me, “For two dollahs, I will tell you how you, sir, should manage your life.” I gave her the two dollahs. She placed her hand on my forehead and closed her eyes. A minute later she told me, “Your life will be a battleground. It will be mostly in your head. You must build a citadel there to keep from going nuts.”

I took her advice. I built (and am still building) a citadel of useful ideas to guide me. Here are a few.

1. Be patient. Help is on the way. Stay calm. Calmness is contagious.

2. Assemble faithful allies. Most of them will be people. Others will be books. Some will be dogs, cats or a pet rat named Bugs.

3. Never play poker with a stranger named Doc. Don’t eat lunch at a diner named “Mom’s Place.”

4. Seek humor. In a dark hour, picture Dick Nixon and Jimmy Carter — both of them roaring drunk and locked in the same room. Guess who would kill — or out-talk — the other guy fi rst.

5. At whatever cost, keep music close by. Record your own “Suicide Prevention Suite” on your iPod. For openers, include Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” and a triumphant chorale singing “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Such sounds

have persuaded many would-be bridge-jumpers to reconsider.

6. “If you have all the fresh water you want to drink and all the food you want to eat, you ought never to complain about anything.” Those words were spoken by Eddie Rickenbacker, who spent 21 days fl oating in the Pacifi c on life rafts with other servicemen during World War II. They are words to remember when you feel your good luck chain has run out.

7. Sheer defi ance can do wonders. When a big lie (such as “I’ll never make it”) invades your mind, sit still for 20 minutes. One by one, count the obstacles, large and small, that you have conquered in past years. Then rise, point your middle fi nger skyward toward that huge fraud called Fate, and say, “I’m ready for you, pal. What took you so long?”

8. Don’t spend one minute wondering what people think of you. You’ll never know. You may think you do, but you won’t. One reason for that: people are too busy thinking about

themselves to be bothered with you. Do this: smile at everyone you know. Half of them will be pleased; the rest will go crazy wondering what you’re up to.

9. When all seems lost, fi nd a mirror. Look in it. There you will see the person most likely to give you what you need.

10. Do not fear death. At the very least, accept its coming. You want a nightmare? Just picture this: never dying. Ever. Just getting older, more wrinkled, slower of mind, decrepit — all that wonderful stuff.

11. “What is my purpose in life? What is life’s meaning? Doesn’t God intend for everyone to fi nd a special role? Why was I born?” Answer: Beats me.

My opinion: life is mostly a crap shoot. Ninety percent of our lives was and is out of our control. But the rest is up to us. You can’t predict tomorrow or your next hour. But you’re the boss for the next 10 minutes or so. And you can do a lot in that time.

The foregoing notions have been helpful to me, but I don’t assume they’ll fit your life. I merely suggest you construct your own citadel. If or when dark days come, what’s inside our heads can be our fi rst line of defense.

Beacon makes news enjoyable again

Editor:Three observations from the Beacon’s articles on the city.First and probably more important, the articles themselves demonstrate

journalism is not dead in America. Whether you agree or disagree with what was presented, the Beacon and Ms. Razzano are to be congratulated for the reporting. All of the quotes were sourced. There were no statements reported by “unnamed sources not authorized to comment.” The information sources were verifi ed and referenced. The articles presented the facts without interjecting personal comments.

These articles are news reporting as it should be written, and what journalism was intended to be. The major news sources across the country should take a lesson from the Seminole Beacon. Keep up the good work.

My second observation is from the July 15 impasse meeting. For the mayor and city council to vote for or against any item not knowing what the cost could/will be is bad judgement. However, to vote for or against what is probably the largest contract the city enters into not knowing the full present cost and future cost is a total abandonment of their responsibilities.

Responsibility brings me to my third observation. It appears the fi re department and perhaps others are throwing the city manager under the bus for the debacle at the July 15 meeting. While the mayor and city council authorize the city manager to run the affairs of the city, they (the mayor and city council) cannot delegate that responsibility to the city manager. While the city manager may be the cause of some or a majority of problems which occur, the mayor and council are the ones responsible and there is nothing they can do to transfer that responsibility. As to the “robust discussion” meeting of July 15, perhaps a more accomplished city manager would never have let the council be placed in that position, but again it was and is the mayor’s and council’s responsibility.

Keep up the good work, Seminole Beacon. You make reading the news enjoyable again.

Senators must fund secure electionsEditor:We have lived in the Clearwater area for almost 40 years and have used

paper ballots for a long time; however, the new computer technology is easily hacked. Reliable reports show that the Russians and other foreign adversaries have hacked into our election systems country-wide and we need to go back to simple, safe and unhackable paper ballots. The House

has already passed legislation to allocate $600 million country-wide, but the Senate has refused to allow a vote to be taken on this important issue. Nobody really understands why Mitch McConnell has decided to obstruct our democratic need for a fair and accurate voting process. Our intelligence agencies have confi rmed we have been hacked and unless we change back to paper ballots and scanners, we’ll face another attack by the Russians and other bad actors in 2020.

Please send your letters to Mitch McConnell to remind him that he works for US — that is, the United States of America — and we need this money to ensure we’ll have a fair election.

Our Senators must fi ght to allocate $600 million to secure our elections.Ken SponagleClearwater

Taking issue with ‘undocumented’Editor:I would very much like to see your newspaper stop using the term

undocumented people and start calling them what they are — illegals.I don’t want to have to pay for illegals in any way.I am tired of folks trying to change what they are.I know this won’t get printed but want to let you know there are still

some of us who like to use the right word.Jo ShortillClearwater

AstonishedEditor:I am astonished at the number of letters you (Suncoast News) publish

from people who still support Donald Trump.A man who we now know has committed multiple crimes while in offi ce

that would have resulted in criminal indictments for him if he were not the president — and still might when he leaves offi ce. A man who incites racists and white supremacists to come out into the light of day and commit acts of mass murder and violence against minorities. A man who has cheated on all three of his wives and paid off a porn star to keep quiet about his affair with her right before the election.

I can only hope that this insanity is temporary and that these misguided folks will someday understand that being loyal to your country does not mean being loyal to the president but being loyal to the U.S. Constitution and its laws.

Decorum in the Donald Trump White House

Outdoors 7ALargo Leader, September 5, 2019

Strong tides and an overabun-dance of baitfi sh are a big part of the reason why the fishing has been so good throughout the In-tracoastal Waterway and the area.

On-again off-again onshore winds have made fishing the nearshore Gulf tricky over the past couple of weeks. However, when the winds have been out of the east the beaches have cleaned up and the Spanish mackerel bite has been on fi re. Locating areas of bait indicated by bird activi-ty will help to fi nd the mackerel. Anglers have been trolling and or casting silver spoons and white bucktail jigs for plenty of macker-el in the 2- to 4-pound class.

With the amount of bait in the area, cast netting a well full of pil-chards had been easy. Chumming with a mixture of tropical fi sh food and water will bring droves of bait right behind the boat when an-chored just off the edge of most any grass fl at near one of the inlets.

Live chumming during the lower

tidal stages around fl ats drop offs that can be found around many of the spoil islands throughout the Intracoastal will bring plenty of action from trout, Spanish mack-erel, redfish, jack crevalle and a few snook. Anglers should free-line baits up-tide of the area the fi sh are working so they will naturally drift through the strike zone.

Mangrove snapper fi shing con-tinues to be good both inshore and near-shore. Bridges and jetties are good places to fi nd schools of snapper right now. Free-line or lightly weight pilchards or live shrimp right along the rocks or pilings. Downsizing your tackle to a number 2 hook and a 20 pound leader will increase your bites from the larger snapper.

Fishing remains good throughout the area

BELLEAIR BEACH — Dozens of newborn loggerhead turtles were saved from sure death by a Belleair Beach family just out walking their dogs.

On Aug. 16, 13-year-old Abby Fox and her 10-year-old brother Madden were walking the family dogs, Bella and Charlotte, when Abby noticed a single hatchling near the road heading inland, the wrong way.

“She sent Madden to get me so I could come and help. We called the Clearwater Marine Aquarium right away,” said mom Heather Fox. “She gave me the turtle and I went and to get something to put it in until the aquarium people could come.”

Fox said she got a bucket for the turtle and went back, only to dis-cover it had started to rain. Not only that but there were more turtles.

“By the time I got back she had seen more turtles,” said Fox. “It was raining and there were turtles everywhere.”

Fox then went back to the house to get other containers for the hatchlings and by then their neigh-bors, John, Jen and Mia Adams had come out to help.

“The turtles were everywhere, they had gone into the shrubbery, around the pool area; they were ev-erywhere,” she said. “We kept col-lecting them. Mia and Abby took the turtles under shelter in the parking area because the aquarium people said to keep them in a dry place.”

Soon after, a woman came from the aquarium to supervise the res-cue operation.

“We gave her 35 or more hatch-lings and she took them further

down Belleair Beach to release them,” said Fox.

But it wasn’t over.“While she was gone more were

found in the vegetation, we got an-other 13 or 15 out of there,” she said.

The woman from the aquarium made another trip to the shore to release the last batch of hatchlings. Her job that evening concluded with disposing of the body of one hatchling that made it to the road and was run over.

It turns out that 13-year-old Abby was well prepared for what she found that evening. Her mom said she has been interested in ma-rine life for many years.

“My daughter wants to be a ma-rine biologist,” she said. “She has been spending weekends at the aquarium and going to camps since she was 6 or 7 years old. This was right up her alley.”

Abby said she was amazed at what she saw that night, starting with the fi rst one.

“I was afraid that it was going to go onto the road and get run over,” she said. “After I picked it up and told my brother to go get Mom, I looked around for more.”

And there were more, enough to keep Abby and her family and friends very busy.

“I found about 30 more right away,” she said. “They were every-where, they were behind a chain link fence, and in the vegetation and they were all heading toward the road. I already knew they would go toward artificial light towards the road.”

Hatchling turtles, by nature, use the moon as the light to draw them to the water. However a street light can have the same effect. Residents who live along the beach are asked to modify their outdoor lighting so

as not to attract the turtles.David Yates, CEO of the Clear-

water Marine Aquarium, said the family did exactly the right thing once they saw the hatchlings. Their fi rst priority was to call the aquari-um for help.

“These are hatchlings and most people don’t know how to handle them,” he said. “They are an en-dangered species and you have to have a license to handle them. We have a license. If you handle a hatchling improperly you could cause issues.”

Yates said people are important in helping preserve helpless wild marine life and he was happy with the way the Fox family handled the issue.

“We feel good when people are involved,” he said. “The public is our partner and we need their eyes to let us know what is going on. We love the public 100%.”

Yates did clear up one oddity. Heather Fox said the aquarium of-fi cials told them to get the turtles out of the rain and not to let them get wet. An odd request given that turtles live in water.

Yates said because it was raining and the little turtles didn’t know anything about rain, they would have been stressed out by it.

“Don’t cause stress to these an-imals,” he said. “Don’t distress the animals, bring their stress level down when you are rescuing them.”

It was an exciting evening for Abby Fox and her family, no doubt stressful for them as much as the turtles.

Abby says she would do it again in a heartbeat.

“Absolutely I would do it again,” she said. “It is important because the turtles are endangered and we want to see as many make it to adulthood as possible.”

To get help from the Clearwater Marine Aquarium regarding sick or stranded marine life, call its rescue line at 727-441-1790, ext. 1.

LARGO — Ninety-two percent of the 122 students placed in Pinellas County Schools Summer Career Acceleration Program completed it successfully.

Mark Hunt, executive director of the Office of Career, Technical & Adult Education, announced the good news during the Aug. 27 School Board meeting.

In addition, 18 of those students received industry certifications during the seven-week summer

program. Seven of the students that complete their internship re-ceived full-time jobs, Hunt said.

This was the fi rst year of the pro-gram made possible by a partner-ship between the School District, Pinellas Education Foundation, Junior Achievement, Achieva Credit Union and more than 100 businesses.

The program is a combination of a paid summer internships, in-dustry certifi cation training and a fi nancial literacy program. The goal was to provide skills and experienc-es to help students achieve suc-cess after they graduate by gaining work-ready skills and technical cer-tifi cation.

Participating businesses report-ed great success with the program and touted the good work done by the interns. Students praised what

they called an “amazing opportu-nity” to not only get a chance to be treated as adults in real work sit-uations, but also the training they received in resume making and in-terview skills.

Hunt said planning had begun for next summer’s program with a goal to double the number of par-ticipating students.

School Board members also unanimously approved a memo of understanding with Pinel-las Education Foundation for an expansion of its Elevating Excel-lence program, which began in the spring of 2018.

The program provides support for all high-achieving students with outreach for low-income and mi-nority students. Support measures include academic counseling; par-ent and student engagement; help

with college entrance exam prepa-ration; college and scholarship planning and more.

As part of the program, a College and Career Center opened last year at Largo High School. The new deal facilitates an expansion of the pro-gram and four more centers will be opened. The new centers will be at Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Clearwater High School and Pinellas Park High School.

Plans are in the works to expand the program to all high schools in the district.

Thanks to more than $2 million in philanthropic support from the Pinellas Education Foundation, four managers have been hired by the Foundation to work with the district at the College and Career Center.

SEMINOLE — During a conversa-tion with her guidance counselor at the end of last school year, Seminole High School junior Tori Foltz learned there are a number of students who can’t afford to buy yearbooks.

“If they can’t afford yearbooks, I’m sure they can’t afford other things, like senior breakfast and grad night and senior prom and other things,” said Foltz, 15. “It just did not sit right with me.”

So, she decided to do something about it. This summer, she gath-ered several of her friends to create The Warhawk Project, a student committee that assists SHS seniors with various graduation expenses.

Dara Cadzow, 15, a junior, said the group met with Principal Jane Lucas over the summer to get the project started. Their advanced placement world history teacher, Kathy Pierce, agreed to sponsor the group.

“She told us that over the sum-mer we should start getting money and raising awareness,” Cadzow said.

They created an Instagram page under the name The Warhawk Proj-ect to reach their friends and other SHS students. They also hosted their first fundraiser July 30, a spirit night, at Culver’s in Semi-nole. They collected $215 in tips from diners alone, in addition to a percentage of the restaurant’s sales that evening. They plan to host additional fundraisers at Culver’s, though no future dates are set yet.

The committee launched with just four members. In addition to

Cadzow and Foltz, juniors Lauryn Fox and Nick McClure, both 16, are part of the core group of orga-nizers. They held their fi rst meeting not long after the start of the new school year, and around 30 stu-dents showed up.

Fox said they’re planning other ways to raise money for the proj-ect, including selling concessions at the school’s improv shows or candy around Halloween.

During the fi rst half of the year, The Warhawk Project will focus on purchasing yearbooks for at least fi ve “seniors who really can’t afford

them,” Foltz said. Yearbook prices range from $65 at the start of the year to $100 by the end of the year, she added.

“I think that yearbooks are so important,” she said. “They’re strong memorabilia, and that’s re-ally important to us, because those will last a long time.”

They’ll focus on raising funds to send students to the annual senior breakfast during the second half of the year. The cost of the breakfast is $20.

“That’s one of the things stu-dents expressed interest in doing

but couldn’t afford to go to,” Cadzow said.

All funds raised will be dispersed to students anonymously by the school’s administration.

“Everything has to be anony-mous,” Foltz said. “We aren’t going to know who the students are.”

The committee will announce new fundraisers as they’re planned. They’ll also eventually set up a crowdfunding campaign.

They don’t have a set amount to raise in mind, Cadzow said. “We just want to be able to help as many kids as we can.”

Butterfl y gloWalk to benefi t My Hope ChestMADEIRA BEACH — My Hope Chest, a nonprofi t organization that

helps breast cancer survivors pay for reconstructive surgery, hosts one of its signature annual events Saturday, Sept. 7.

The Butterfly gloWalk and 5K Fun Run takes place at Madeira Beach’s Archibald Memorial Park with check-in starting at 6 p.m. The race begins at dusk and will be followed by a party at the Madeira Beach Snack Shack.

This isn’t your average 5K, said Alisa Savoretti, the organization’s founder. Participants don butterfl y wings, glow-in-the-dark body paint and colorful, glow-in-the-dark accessories.

“It’s a twist on the traditional walk kind of event, and it’s a lot of fun,” she said. “It’s also the most beautiful event.”

Savoretti, a breast cancer survivor, founded My Hope Chest 16 years ago while she was still living in Las Vegas. The former showgirl, in-spired by her own struggles to afford reconstructive surgery, decided to dedicate her life to helping other women fund the life-changing surgery.

“I knew if I was having these struggles, then there were other women out there having them, too,” she said. “I wanted to help.”

Through My Hope Chest, Savoretti negotiates Medicaid rates for the surgery with doctors and hospitals. Even with the reduced rate, these surgeries cost between $500 and $13,000, depending on the scope of the procedure.

All funds raised at the Butterfl y gloWalk and 5K Fun Run benefi ts My Hope Chest and helps fund these reconstructive surgeries.

Cost is $45 to $50 to register, depending on how far in advance you sign up. Register for the event online at https://www.active.com/madeira-beach-fl /running/distance-running-races/butterfl y-glowalk-5k-fun-run-and-party-2019. Walkers and runners may also sign up in person the day of the event.

Dinner to benefi t foundation for the deafDUNEDIN — The Arlete Rocha Foundation for the Deaf will have a

dinner Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Dunedin Golf Club with live music to raise money for the 7th annual golf event for the deaf.

OPENING THIS WEEK

TAMPA — Parker Millsap will perform Friday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m., at the Attic at Rock Brothers, 1510 E. Eighth Ave., Tampa.

Tickets start at $25. Call 813-242-2500 for venue information. For tick-ets, visit eventbrite.com.

Millsap has been touring extensively since the release of his latest re-cord, “Other Arrangements,” last year. The record, which has received praise from American Songwriter, No Depression, Paste Magazine and more, showcases the 25-year-old’s evolution as an artist who continues to create music without the confi nes of genre. Millsap possesses a rare cha-risma on stage, and audiences can expect to see both intense and captivat-ing performances throughout his tour.

While his fi rst two albums were praised for their philosophical and religious imagery, “Other Arrangements” plays more like a favorite rock radio channel from the 1970s. Moving effortlessly between rock, blues and pop, the new record showcases an infectious set of songs, which highlight Millsap’s dynamic vocals and exceptional electric guitar playing. On the album, his thought-provoking songwriting style touches on themes of love, human struggle, passion and tolerance.

Since the 2016 release of his critically acclaimed album “The Very Last Day,” Millsap has made television appearances on “Conan,” as well as re-nowned PBS series “Austin City Limits” and “Bluegrass Underground.”

“Other Arrangements” was co-produced with Grammy award-winning engineer/producer Gary Paczosa and Grammy award-winning engineer Shani Gandhi at Echo Mountain Recording in Asheville, North Carolina, and Minutia Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Along with bandmates Daniel Foulks (fi ddle) and Michael Rose (bass), Millsap is joined by Paddy Ryan on drums/percussion and backup singers including Odessa, Shirley and Calvin Settles, and Jillette Johnson.

PARKER MILLSAP

For information, visit www.myseminole.com or call 727-391-8345.Kicking things off will be one of Florida’s fi nest blues outfi ts. The Charlie

Morris Band brews its distinctive blues and Americana with a helping of Louisiana spice, Tennessee twang and Florida gator tail. According to the band’s website, Morris’ original songs provide the main course, featuring bluesy hooks, dance-inducing grooves and smile-inducing lyrics. Audi-ences may also hear some tasty covers of songs by Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, JJ Cale and Bill Withers.

Morris has been a professional musician since the 1980s. He has per-formed at festivals across Florida and he has spent time on the road tour-ing the Southeastern United States and Europe.

“I’ve been playing music and writing songs since I was 6,” Morris said. “I think it was Charlie Brown’s pal Schroeder who got me into it. My older brother Bruce taught me about the blues when I was a teenager. Later, the great St. Pete blues harmonica player Rock Bottom was a huge infl uence.”

This won’t be Morris’ fi rst appearance at Music in the Park.“We played our fi rst Music in the Park show in 2004, and returned in

2011 and 2014,” Morris said. “It’s a wonderful venue, and the residents of Seminole should be very proud that their city sponsors these great cultural events featuring local musicians.”

Local harmonica legend TC Carr, who appears on “Playin’ on the Beach,” Morris’ newest CD, will join the band for the Music in the Park concert.

Voices of Jazz, based in Dunedin, will take the stage for the second con-cert in the series, set for Friday, Sept. 13.

The band boasts a big-band sound and performs classic big-band jazz as well as swing music and modern arrangements of popular tunes. Its members are engaging and energetic volunteers who participate purely for the love of music, the enjoyment of playing their instruments and their passion for performing. Band members are from Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

Al Phillips, the band’s founder, established Voices of Jazz in 2007. “Al Phillips enjoyed performing in high school and remembered the big

bands that his dad listened to,” Ron Scarcelli said in an email to Tampa Bay Newspapers. Scarcelli is president of Voices of Jazz. “He wanted to cre-ate an organization for people who wanted to continue to play as well as for audiences who enjoy big bands.”

According to Voices of Jazz, this year’s appearance at Music in the Park will be the band’s 100th performance.

New to the series this year is Mad with Power. They will perform Friday, Sept. 20.

“We were very excited to get the call since we’ve seen the caliber of musicians from past events and we feel honored to have been asked to perform,” said Kimberlee Roberts, the band’s vocalist. “September 20 can’t come soon enough.”

Mad with Power was formed nearly 10 years ago. This fresh, fun, profes-sional rock cover band plays a unique variety of energetic rock music that gets audience members up and moving. The members of the band are not strangers to the stage. Each veteran performer contributes to the dynamic, high-powered chemistry that can only come from years spent performing together.

Playing since 2010, the band — and the husband-and-wife team at its heart — traces its roots back to a 2009 theater production.

“In 2009, before we were married, my husband and I met doing a com-munity theater production of ‘Sweeney Todd,’” Kimberlee said. “I’ve always been involved in some type of music and theater since I was young, and he’s been a guitarist since his teens.”

According to Kimberlee, toward the end of the run she and Jody Roberts started talking about getting together to collaborate on music.

“After hearing me sing in what he calls ‘stage voice,’ he didn’t think I could carry off a rock and roll sound,” Kimberlee said. “One round of ‘Rock & Roll’ by Led Zeppelin, and he knew he was wrong.”

Kimberlee and Jody started off in early 2010 with two other friends and a “drummer in a box” and their side career in music blossomed from there.

“We’ve found the right mix of musicians who love to play and we’ve be-come like family,” she said. “We all have day jobs, so Mad with Power is truly a labor of love.”

Todd Plant — recording artist, wedding singer, metal band front-man, crooner and tribute band leader — will bring two acts to the stage Friday, Oct. 4.

Plant’s Doobie Brothers tribute band China Grove will headline the eve-ning. Plant also will debut his new band, 37 Special.

Plant has been involved in music for more than 40 years. During that time, he has worn many hats.

After graduating from Tampa’s Plant High School, he joined the U.S.

Navy Seabees, working in construction and entertaining servicemen and women on bases all over the world. After his honorable discharge, he played in many Tampa bands, honing his craft and paying his dues.

Heard by millions as the singer of the Hulk Hogan theme song “Ameri-can Made” that was played on TBS/TNT networks for years, Plant has also recorded songs on dozens of CDs released worldwide. He toured Europe with Eyewitness and Millennium, his original bands, in the 1990s. Those bands also were featured on MTV Europe, and their videos aired on Japa-nese television. They even performed on a live prime-time variety show in Munich.

For Music in the Park, Plant will launch 37 Special. Comprised of the members of Doobie Brothers tribute group China

Grove and Santana tribute group Supernatural, this new group gives cli-ents another bullet in the arsenal. 38 Special was a unique Southern rock band in that they focused on writing polished dance-rock hit songs, setting them apart from the crowded Southern rock fi eld.

According to Plant, 37 Special’s rapid-fi re barrage of memory-jarring hits include “Caught up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “Somebody Like You,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Back to Paradise” and of course the No. 1 hits “Hold on Loosely” and “If I’d Been the One.”

As if that wasn’t enough for one evening of music, Plant also will per-form with China Grove.

China Grove’s repertoire spans the many decades and styles of the leg-endary California group. From the jamming rock of “Long Train Runnin’” to the jazzy “Takin’ it to the Streets,” and the bluesy “Dark Eyed Cajun Woman” to the Grammy Award winning pop of “What a Fool Believes,” this group will blaze through a sizzling set of classic hits.

Also scheduled to perform at Music in the Park are Peace of Woodstock on Sept. 27 and Act III on Oct. 11.

Following is the complete schedule of musical artists scheduled to per-form as part of the series:

• Sept. 6 — Charlie Morris Band• Sept. 13 — Voices of Jazz• Sept. 20 — Mad with Power• Sept. 27 — Peace of Woodstock• Oct. 4 — 37 Special and China Grove• Oct. 11 — Act III

Selwyn Birchwood to play Palladium at SPC, Hard Rock Café

Visionary blues star Selwyn Birchwood will perform two Tampa Bay area shows in September.

Birchwood will play Friday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m., at the Palladium at St. Pe-tersburg College, 253 Fifth Ave. N., St. Petersburg; and Saturday, Sept. 14, 8 p.m., at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa’s Hard Rock Café, 5223 Orient Road, Tampa.

Tickets to the Palladium show start at $18. Call 727-822-3590 or visit www.mypalladium.org.

The Hard Rock Café concert is free. For information, call 866-388-4263 or visit www.seminolehardrocktampa.com.

Birchwood released “Pick Your Poison,” his forward-looking new CD on Alligator Records, in May 2017.

On the new album, Birchwood — along with his band: saxophonist Regi Oliver, bassist Huff Wright and drummer Courtney “Big Love” Girlie — takes a major step forward, crafting visionary blues for a new generation of for-ward-looking fans.

With his fi ery guitar and lap steel playing; his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs; and his gritty, unvarnished vocals, Birchwood is one of the most remarkable young stars in the blues. According to a biographical sketch provided by Alligator Records, Birchwood possesses a deep famil-iarity with blues tradition, which allows him to bust the genre wide open, bringing innovative new sounds, colors and textures. He delivers these with a distinctive style that blends a revival tent preacher’s fervor and a natural storyteller’s charisma.

Since the 2014 release “Don’t Call No Ambulance,” Birchwood’s Alligator Records debut, the powerhouse guitarist’s journey from playing small Flori-da clubs to headlining international festival stages can be described as phe-nomenal. “Don’t Call No Ambulance” received the Blues Music Award and Living Blues Critics’ Award for Best Debut Album Of 2014. Birchwood also walked away with the 2015 Blues Blast Rising Star Award.

Over the last few years, Birchwood and his band have crisscrossed the United States and Europe repeatedly, delivering unforgettable live perfor-mances. With “Pick Your Poison,” Birchwood takes another major step for-ward, crafting visionary blues for a new generation of forward-looking fans.

Birchwood wrote and produced all 13 songs on “Pick Your Poison.” His richly detailed, hard-hitting originals run the emotional gamut from the hu-morously personal “My Whiskey Loves My Ex” to the gospel-infl ected “Even the Saved Need Saving” to the hard truths of the topical “Corporate Drone” and “Police State” to the existential choice of the title track. The cutting-edge songs are made all the more impactful by Birchwood’s gruff vocals, his un-tamed musicianship and his band’s seemingly telepathic accompaniment.

“I write and sing what I know,” said Birchwood in a press release. “This album has a broad reach. It’s for young, old and everyone in between.”

Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer signed Birchwood to the label shortly after the bluesman won the 2013 International Blues Challenge as well as the Albert King Guitarist Of The Year Award at the same event,

“Selwyn writes smart, infectious, fresh songs and delivers them with a warm, conversational vocal style and a fun-loving attitude,” Iglauer said. “He’s a killer guitarist, switching between a regular six-string and lap steel. Live, he’s a ball of energy, interacting with the audience like they were in his

The unique and affordable arts and crafts found at the festival comes from some of the state’s top crafters and green market vendors. The festival of fers a chance for residents and visitors to peruse and shop from thousands of quality, handmade works while meeting the individual artisans and discovering the inspiration and practical use behind each piece.

The festival is free and open to the public.

A juried outdoor craft showcase, participating artisans are hand-selected from hundreds of applicants. On display will be a vast array of artistic media, including folk art, pottery, personalized gifts, handmade c lothing, basket weaving, beaded utensils, candles, cork assemblage, fabric design, fiber quilts, fused wax and glass, hair accessories, handbags and accessories, handmade cards, leather, mosaic, wood, painted wood, plaster craft and stained glass, among others.

In the past, the Palm Harbor Craft Festival has benefitted the Palm Harbor Chamber of Commerce and Merchant Association.

Among this year’s vendors are Pinellas residents Don and Cristina Williams of St. Petersburg.

Don and Cristina collaborate on each piece perfecting their skills in the ancient Japanese art of shino glaze, a process that has not changed in centuries, yet yields a different effect with each fi nished piece.

The couple welcomes the

opportunity to meet and speak with art enthusiasts and potential investors at ACE events such as the Palm Harbor Craft Festival.

“I was born to do art,” Don said. “I love it, live it and love to share with others. I have been doing pottery almost 30 years now. My wife Cristina is very talented as well and we do a lot of collaborative pieces like our penguins and cats. People can see our work and us at the many shows we do around Florida with Howard Alan Events & American Craft Endeavors.”

Mandie Cornwell of New Port Richey makes wire-wrapped bracelets using semi-precious stones, crystals, coins and other items from around the world. She is owner of Queen Bee Creative Co. and she is a regular at craft markets and festivals all across Florida.

Terry Andrews of Ocala also will

take part in the festival.The award-winning glass

sculptor uses copper and fused glass to create his unique and oftentimes whimsical sculptures. His work can be seen in private collections around the world and grace the permanent collections of the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as the Carrolton Museum of Contemporary Art in Carrolton, Georgia.

Andrews also participates in juried fi ne art festivals across the country. This Florida native is also an accomplished musician. Originally from the Tampa area, he pursued a career in music until 1994. Always having an interest in glass, Andrews dabbled with the medium, fi rst with blown glass and lamp work, heavy flat and carved glass sculpture.

His work has now evolved to include copper and fused glass sculptures. The fusing work is done in a kiln.

The talented crafter Walter Catts will be displaying his creations at the festival. Catts

hails from Palmetto where he has his own carpentry shop, Catts Carpentry Inc. There, he creates beautiful furniture utilizing old shutters.

Gulfport’s Robin Short returns to the festival this year. She has been quilting and sewing for most of her life and has been inspired by her mother, Ellen Plankey, who is a well-known award-winning artist.

Short loves putting together great fabrics, colors and high-quality products to create usable and unique items for her customers. A lot of her ideas come from customers who can’t find exactly what they are looking for. She then goes home and develops a pattern that will be useful and fun. She has been working with American Craft Endeavors for just over four years and truly enjoys working with the organization and the customers it brings out to the craft fairs.

living room.” Birchwood was born in 1985 in Orlando. He fi rst

grabbed a guitar at age 13 and soon became profi cient at mimicking what he heard on the radio. He quickly grew tired of the popular grunge rock, hip-hop and metal of the 1990s.

Then he heard some classic Jimi Hendrix. “He was larger than life,” Birchwood said. “What he

did was mind-blowing. When I realized Hendrix was in-fl uenced by the blues, I found my path.”

By 17, Birchwood was deep into the blues, listening to Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Muddy Wa-ters, Lightnin’ Hopkins and especially Buddy Guy.

Birchwood announced his arrival on the international blues stage with 2014’s “Don’t Call No Ambulance.”

The album is a fully realized vision of contemporary blues. Between his uninhibited sense of fun and adven-ture and his serious-as-a-heart-attack musicianship, “Don’t Call No Ambulance” opened a door into a bright future for the blues.

“There’s nothing I’d rather be doing than playing the blues,” Birchwood said. “And I try to convey that with every song and with every performance.”

Tour brings comedians to Central Park Performing Arts Center

LARGO – The “Joke’s on You Comedy Tour” will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 9, 7:30 p.m., at the Central Park Performing Arts Center, 105 Central Park Drive, Largo.

The comedy extravaganza is the latest addition to the center’s 2019-20 lineup. Reserved seating tickets start at $19.50. Call 727-587-6793 or visit largoarts.com.

The “Joke’s on You Comedy Tour” features Jimmy “J.J.” Walker, Artie Fletcher and Bob Nelson.

Walker is best known as a cast member of the 1970s classic television series “Good Times.”

Spotted by the casting director for Norman Lear of “All in the Family” fame, Walker accepted a part in Lear’s “Good Times.” The role of the broadly strutting, wisecracking J.J. Evans would launch him into televi-sion superstardom. “Dyn-o-mite!” was the phrase that made him famous nationwide. He was the fi rst winner of the NAACP Image Award. He also earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Com-edy Series.

In the 1970s, Walker appeared on “The Mac Davis Show,” “Donny and Marie,” “The John Davidson Show,” “The Merv Griffi n Show,” “Dinah,” “The Mike Douglas Show,” “The Hollywood Squares,” and “Match Game.”

Fletcher is one of the entertainment industry’s most talked-about “must-see” performers. No stranger to fi lm and television, he is taking the industry and news-talk radio waves by storm. Fletcher has been seen on “Law and Order,” Conan O’Brien, David Letterman and “The Tonight Show.”

Watching a Nelson live performance is like watching several different types of top comedians all rolled up into one. Characters like the lovable nerd Eppy Epperman, punchy boxer Jiffy Jeff and chicken rancher Wilby Stuckinson are as funny and memorable as any seen in comedy today. Nelson’s extraordinary talents have been refi ned by a career that has included multiple appear-ances on the “Merv Griffi n Show,” “The Tonight Show” and David Letterman.

HAPPENINGS, from page 3B

AMY GRANT CLEARWATER — Multi-Gram-

my award winner Amy Grant will perform Friday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m. at the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater.

Tickets start at $50. Call 727-791-7400 or visit www.rutheck-erdhall.com.

Grant helped put contempo-rary Christian music on the map, becoming the fi rst CCM artist to have a platinum record, the fi rst to hit No. 1 on the pop charts and the fi rst to perform at the Gram-my Awards. Since then, Grant has been strumming her way through a 40-year adventure as a sing-er-songwriter, author, television host and speaker.

Over the years, Grant has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, including three multi-platinum, six platinum and four gold. Her chart performance has also been consistent throughout her career, boasting six No. 1 hits, including “Baby, Baby” and “Every Heartbeat.” She has 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 adult contemporary tracks and

multiple contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In recognition of such success, Grant has received six Grammy awards and 26 Dove awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a star on the Music City Walk of Fame. Addi-tionally, she was most recently in-ducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee.

Stepping out from behind her guitar, Grant found herself host-ing the NBC prime-time series “Three Wishes” in 2005, bringing her into millions of living rooms across America every Friday night. The people she met and stories she collected proved to be great inspiration for creating new music and even writing a book. Two years later, Grant’s fi rst book, “Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far,” was published. She continues to share her stories with audiences all over the country as a keynote and inspirational speaker.

In April 2016, Grant celebrat-ed the 25th anniversary of her fi rst pop hit, “Baby, Baby,” with a worldwide release of a new version of the song featuring

pop sensation and fellow Capitol Music Group recording artist Tori Kelly. Growing her wildly popular Christmas brand, Grant then released “Tennessee Christmas” in October 2016, her fi rst all-new Christmas album in nearly 20 years.

Grant resides with her family in Nashville and is widely known for her philanthropy and tireless involvement in local causes and charitable organizations.

G R E E K I S L A N D S C A F E ! eorge Manasakis has been involved in the restaurant industry for nearly 50 years,doing everything from cooking and cleaning to running the whole show, as he did for the past 12 years at his Brandon eatery, Roma-

no’s Greek Italian Restaurant.Today, George is bringing a taste of the Greek Islands to Seminole with his Greek Islands Cafe.Located in the Oakhurst Plaza next to Publix, the cozy, 80-seat establishment is open from 7:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. seven days a week and still features many of the breakfast staples as its predecessor, the Breakfast Station. But with a new lunch menu that features traditional Greek favorites like souvlaki, moussaka and an award-winning Greek salad, and plans to open for dinner in the nearfuture, Greek Islands Cafe is more than just breakfast.“We didn’t want to alienate the old customers, so we kept some of the same menu for them,” Manasakis’ wife,Laura, said. “But we’ve added some Greek staples, like souvlaki, moussaka and our famous Greek salad. We gave it a Mediterranean twist!”

Laura explained her husband’s long career in the industry has caused her to form lasting relationships with custom-ers. “We’ve only been open for a few weeks, but I already know half the people’s names and everybody’s orders,” she said less than a month after they opened in early Au-gust. “I love to be with the people, to talk to them, build relationships with them. When I lay down at night to go to sleep, I think, hey I made some people happy today, andI love it. I just love it.”While relationship building is key to any new restaurant, the couple knows the place won’t be full unless the food is good enough to keep the customers coming back for more. To that point, the Greek Islands Cafe menu still features a wide variety of breakfast items, including a Greek omelet with spinach and feta cheese, country fried steak and eggs, a Greek Islands skillet with home fries, bacon, spinach and tomatoes served over two eggs any style and more.But lunch is where Manasakis, a native of the Isle of Crete who lived in New York before moving to the Sunshine State in 2007, really gets to showcase his skills. “We’ve got great service and great, homemade food,” George said,

noting he’s known for his “famous” Greek salad, moussa-ka, spinach pie and Greek pastas. “And we will be adding fresh fi sh and pastas for dinner as soon as we can.”In addition to dinners, George said he plans to add beer and wine to the menu as well as a Greek Night, withtraditional music.With a mix of old menu items and new, traditional Greek fare as well as American staples, plus great customerservice, Greek Islands Cafe is poised to become a Semi-nole staple for years to come.“We treat our customers like family, because we love what we do,” George Manasakis said.
