The Landings Website Project Committee composed of Sara Rhodes, Dick Bayles, Karl Maggard, and Truman Menefee, trained residents and answered questions about the “residents only” side of the website recently. Karl Maggard, past chairman of the LMA strategic planning committee opened the meeting by sharing several decisions his committee made a few years ago. At that time, the committee established a strategic mission to make The Landings, already Sarasota’s finest community, an even better place to live.

Three strategic goalswere adopted.

1. To improve the quality of life at The Landings.2. To broaden the appeal of The Landings to families.3. To enhance values in The Landings.

Maggard went on to share many features that make The Landings a one of a kind and unique community. The building of The Landing’s website certainly meets the three goals established by his committee. Maggard also recognized by name all 38 individuals that contributed to the website project. In April of this year, the website project committee launched the public or marketing side of the website. Website project committee chair, Sara Rhodes did a stellar job of explaining the “Landings residents internal website”. She began by instructing the 50-60 who attended about the resident sign-in process, and then explained the process of developing an individual profile. Sara went on to explain the resident’s directory including the powerful search options. She explained the discussion groups, the community calendar, the photo gallery, and how to list an item in the classifieds section.

Before the training ended, several of those who attended asked excellent questions and provided a few excellent ideas that would make the website even better.

How Can I Help? The more a website is visited, the higher it moves in a search engines listing. You can benefit everyone at The Landings by doing the following:

* Visit the website daily to see what’s new.* Create your profile- make it rich with content including your picture and interests.* Join discussion groups.* Like us on FaceBook* Add your pictures of Landings events to the Photo Gallery: be sure to label the Gallery so that it encourages others to join in next year.* Watch the website for the announcement of the training roll out.* Volunteer to be a training leader if you are tech savvy. Your participation in the website will help build The Landings community. For questions, comments or help regarding The Landings website, email: [email protected]

By Trebor BrittLMA Meeting Notes LMA Approves New

Traffic Violator Policy and 2014 Budget

The LMA Board of Directors voted on two major proposals at the November 1st meeting. They unanimously approved a new policy outlining penalties for traff ic violators and unanimously approved the 2014 Landing’s budget. Running stop signs and speeding has become all too common at The Landings and as a result, a real concern for Landings residents. The LMA board unanimously voted to approve new penalties for traffic violators at The Landings. Basically a first-time offender would receive a letter from The Landings Management Company and a second time offender would receive a 30 day suspension of their vehicle barcode. The Security and Safety committee believes the new policy will make walking and bike riding safer on Landing’s roads. The complete and approved policy statement appears elsewhere in this issue of “The Landings Eagle”. This new policy will also be sent to all owners, residents and renters, put on the Landing’s website and sent to each Association president asking them to notify all their members of the new policy.

2014 Budget Approved

Finance Committee chair, Don McMurray presented the proposed budget for 2014. The operating side of the 2014 budget reflected minor

changes from the year before. Income for 2014 is proposed to be $672,088. The biggest change was the board approval of the new landscape contract and a slight increase in security costs. The “Reserve Funding” side of the budget will provide funding for the structures and assets under the jurisdiction of the LMA. Reserve dollars are set aside for projects such as road paving, roof repairs on the guard houses, gate replacement equipment, camera monitoring system equipment, wall repair maintenance, as well as nature trail structures. During discussion of the proposed budget , Larry Lawrence noted that almost 90% of the reserved funding collected would be used to eventually repave the roads at The Landings. The LMA board unanimously approved the 2014 operating budget including the reserve funding. As a resu l t , the 2014 maintenance fee will be $1,087 per owner, increasing the fee by 7.3%.

Can You Hear Me Now? After concerns were voiced by members of the board, and association members attending the LMA board meetings, microphones are now being used so attendees can hear better.

President’s Report LMA Vice president, Jack Jost led the November meeting and shared Henry Rhodes presidents report in his absence. In October, the LMABoard

of Directors approved a formal process for the presentation of The Landings Community, Greenfield Distinguished Service Award. The board is now in the process of securing a plaque in which the three recipients names, Bob Greenfield, Fritz Drybrough and Bob Capo will be engraved. The Landing’s Racquet Club has graciously agreed to display the plaque. Judy Greene has volunteered and assumed the leadership role of chairing the Presidents Council.

Landing’s Website Karl Maggard shared a report of website activity. There were 831 visits to the site in September. Visits to the site in October more than doubled, reaching 1759. Maggard happily reported the challenges they were having getting the website registered with search engines has now been resolved. A demonstration and instructional meeting about the “residents-only” portion of the website was held on November 14th. A more detailed article about the website demonstration can be found elsewhere in this issue of The Landings Eagle.

Dollars & Cents F i n a n c e c o m m i t t e e Chairman, Don McMurray reported that income continues to exceed expenses. Even with a few added landscaping and drainage expenses, the committee believes they will still have a small budget surplus by the end of the year.

Drainage Drainage committee chair, Jack Jost reported the LMA worked with LHA and an engineering firm to prepare plans to correct the drainage problems on Peregrine Point Way. Bids have been requested from three contractors for the work. Correcting the flooding issue on Kestral Park Place cul-de-sac is making progress. An on-site meeting was held with residents in that area and two modifications to the action plan were made. A new bid has been requested, and Jost believes it will still come in under the $13,500 approved by the board for this project. South IV Association is developing a remedial action plan to address the issues in the Lake #7 Preserve. They hope to obtain approval from the county to remove the dead and dying vegetation, and replant the area.

Landscaping The installation of the circular shell path, proposed and approved at the last board meeting is expected to be done by the end of November. The committee is checking on putting in a paver pathway that would go from Landings Boulevard to the entrance of the Eagles Nest area. The committee is also looking into possible modifications to the fence at the Eagles nest area to better accommodate pedestrians. Landscaping Committee chair, Joe Hennessey reported discovering a number of Brazilian pepper tree branches

overhanging the nature trail pathway and will get an estimate on removing them. A few areas of the Landings are being treated for Spiraling Whitefly disease. Trees and shrubs affected by this disease need to be treated immediately. The disease moves very quickly to weaken the tree and over time will eventually kill the tree or shrub.

Symptoms of Spiraling Whitefly

(Source: University of Florida Article)

If your plants have it, you cannot miss it. The undersides of the leaves are covered with an abundance of white, waxy material and the top with excessive black sooty mold. The sooty mold is a particular nuisance as it also accumulates on uninfected understory plants, mulch, gravel, concrete, automobiles and even on the surface of water. The preamble to the sooty mold is a sticky material known as honeydew, a sugary substance that is food for the sooty mold fungus.

Lakes Lakes Committee chair, Larry Lawrence reported that two additional fountain motors have malfunctioned. One has been replaced and the other will be replaced after needed electrical work is completed. The brown areas residents have observed around several lakes was caused by weed treatments. Those areas will turn green again over the next few weeks.

Story continued on page 4.


LHA Meeting Notes Given the cost of mailbox r e p l a c e m e n t , g e n e r a l l y underwritten by the Association if no responsible party can be billed, there was a discussion of sharing their maintenance costs with the property owner. No further action was taken on this issue. Judy Greene, membership chair, reported that there was one new owner, one property under contract and two properties without contract on the market. The Association is sending a Notice of Election to the Board of Directors to each member. There are four positions up for election at the February 13, 2014, annual meeting. Members who would like to participate in our Association’s management are encouraged to run in the election. Details are in the notice. The Board approved a budget for the 2014 calendar year that sets the Annual Assessment at $65.00, an increase of $15.00 over 2013. The increase is due to anticipated increases in insurance expense and property remediation expenses. The remainder of the brief meeting dealt with Landscaping and Architecture requests and violations. As is customary The Landings Eagle redacts names and specific addresses unless a violation is raised to the hearing level.

New Requests Peregrine Point Dr – The owner requested approval to remove two ficus trees and an olive tree in front of the residence and to remove the rear pool cage and replace it with a County-approved security fence. The board approved the removal of the olive tree and pool cage, but requested further information regarding the impact of the ficus trees on the residence. Flicker Field Cir - The Board approved a replacement roof. Pine Harrier Cir - The Board approved a tree removal and landscaping plan Landings Blvd – The Board approved the replacement of an existing rear wooden fence with one that matches the neighboring fence installed by the Landings Management Association. Peregrine Point Circle E - The Board approved an extension to an existing fence.

Progress on Outstanding Violations A h e a r i n g r e g a r d i n g continuing violations of the covenants with respect to the property at 4899 Peregrine Point Cir E was held and a fine of $100 per day (with a maximum of $2,500) accrues as of the date of the hearing until action is taken by the owner to correct the problems.

A survey of the Association properties resulted in nineteen (19) owners being requested to power wash their roofs.

Property Remediation P ine Harr ier Cir – The Board received complaints from a neighbor regarding the overgrown nature of the l a n d s c a p i n g a n d g e n e r a l condition of this vacant property. The owner will be sent a letter insisting that action be taken to correct the situation; otherwise, the Association will take steps to remediate the property. Peregrine Point Way – With respect to the long-standing drainage issues, an engineering report and remediation project definition have been received and sent to prospective vendors for the work required. The Board anticipates that the cost of remediation will be shared by the respective owners of the property, who are responsible for maintenance of the swales on their property, the Landings Management Association and the LHA.

proposal. If the parties involved cannot accept the engineering recommendation, the board has already approved seeking a Decla Tori judgment.Jost also recommended that for the time being, the signs that have been posted in that area regarding the potential changes be taken down.

I hope you have completed things & projects and enjoyed places, events and ventures you had planned for this year. If not -- you still have a little time left to do them. This month is also a time to reflect on those things we have accomplished and to recognize how fortunate we are to have such good friends here in the Landings including those who have left our midst and moved on to a better place. We will miss them and know how blessed we are to have had them for a period of time. December is also the month we eagerly look to another New Year with new expectations. Most of our “snow birds” have returned and our community is incredibly active. Just consider how difficult it is to obtain a tennis court at 8:00 or 9:30 AM or how you need to plan extra time to get to where you are going or how many are attending jazzercise classes, etc. Don’t forget you need to make restaurant reservations where

you did not need to a month or so ago. From your LMA board we are pleased t o h a v e e n d e d the year slightly below budget and with good budget planning our annual assessment wi l l increase slightly next year. Thanks to our Finance Committee who spent many hours reassessing our needs and establishing an appropriate reserve budget. For many of us the decision to return to Merle Raber for landscaping is a welcome one. Our common areas are looking wonderful and soon the holiday lights will be up to add to this festive time of the year. I will provide a summary o f b o a r d a n d c o m m i t t e e accomplishments in the January

Eagle issue. However, I would like to call your attention to an important new policy statement adopted by the board at their November 7 meeting. The new policy was designed to focus on the need to improve

the safety of our walking and biking residents around our community. Our Security personnel report most of the speeding violations are made by a few residents and their guests. Please refer to another section of the Eagle for the wording of this new policy. In essence it provides for the suspension of the vehicle code for repeat violators. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and/or Hanukkah and wish Christmas and holiday greetings to all.

Specializing in the Landings

What do you like most about the Landings? I love the foxes, raccoons, possums, and other wild animals. Last year was the first time I saw a fox. I wasn’t scared because I thought it was a dog or something. My Mom even took some pictures of him and emailed them to my grandparents. The subject line was Mr. Fox!

What do you do in your spare time? I like playing video games on my Xbox. I have a tankstick and joystick and can play arcade games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Pinball, Centipede, and Millipede (my favorite) and no quarters required! I also like riding my bike and scooter or going to the beach.

What is your favorite subject in school? Math – because I can get all my work done at school.

What are your favorite books? Where the Wild Things Are and Holes

What is your favorite sport? Soccer. I used to play when I was 9 and get pretty hot and sweaty!

Do you have a favorite team? I like the Ohio State Buckeyes because that’s where my Mom is from and the Iowa Hawkeyes because my Grandparents like them.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’d like to work as an agent for Microsoft Windows.

I love computers and help my teacher with them at school. I fix them when they break. If it has a virus or needs a new hard drive, I reinstall Windows 7. I also have my very own computer with remote access at home to help my Mom.

What’s your favorite food? Pringles Chips. I like the salt and lick them!If you were President for a day, what would you do? I would make my own coins like George Washington did except my face would be on them.

If you could be any animal, what would you be? A cat - so I could go anywhere I want, and explore around, and not go to school.

With the holidays approaching, do you have any wishes? My wish is to get Windows 8 Pro Computer Operating System.

With the holidays approaching, what are you looking forward to doing? I am looking forward to seeing Santa and will again leave him milk and cookies!

If you could have one wish for the world, what would it be? I wish I were an elf so I could make toys for all the kids of the world.

Landings residents have a unique opportunity to see the most recent “Wild Orchid Man” documentary on January 17 at the Racquet Club, at 7:00pm. This, the third in a series, is titled “Wild Orchid Man in the Land of the White Bear.” Stig Dalström, a Swedish American who travels the world in search of orchids, is the Wild Orchid Man. He lives in Sarasota when he is not in Bhutan (where he advises the government on the creation of the Bhutanese Botanical Gardens) or traveling the world on expedition. In this new release he takes the viewer into Manitoba, where wild orchids are to be found as far north as Churchill. T h e d o c u m e n t a r y f i l m producer is Sarasota’s Darryl Saffer, who says of his work with Stig, “I chase the world’s wild orchid expert all around the world with a camera.” But we are not to feel sorry for him, as Stig has a marvelous sense of humor

in addition to his prodigious knowledge. Darryl’s passion for the environment has led him in a number of directions, including the production of the “Florida Field Journal,” which is found on YouTube and sponsored by the Sarasota School District’s Education Channel. The Sarasota Orchid Society is the fiscal sponsor for the Wild Orchid Man documentaries. All have been funded by the sale of the DVDs (which will be available at the screening), donations to the Society, and by the generous support of interested orchid lovers around the world. In addition to the wild orchids, this documentary traces the story of the tragedy of the Sayisi Dene people, who were forcibly relocated to Churchill in the 1950’s by a Canadian government insensitive to the relationship between the tribe and the caribou. Today the remnants of the tribe, many of whom simply died in Churchill,

live in Tadoule Lake, Manitoba. Their story has been told by Ila Bussidor in “Night Spirits,” (University of Manitoba Press, 1997) This documentary film includes her voice. Churchill is also famous for its birds and Stig meets and interviews renowned bird photographer William Burt. Sarasota wil l have four screenings of this premier: The Landings viewing is set for January 17, 7:00pm. There will be no admission charge. However, you are encouraged to donate to the Sarasota Orchid Society or purchase the DVDs. Wine and cheese will be served following the screening here at the Landings, and both Stig Dalström and Darryl Saffer will be there to answer questions. If you are a birder, an orchid lover, or an environmentalist … or you are just curious about the remote regions of our planet…..you will want to make this a priority evening!

|News From the Court By Joe Venezia

Another year, another great Halloween Cocktail Party. A lot of thought went into this year’s costumes-great ideas everyone. I’d like to begin by thanking the “decorating crew” - Debbie Wilson, Dee Ricapito, Sharon

Goldman, Laurie Fitch and Barbara Pendrell. Christine Palomaa for the use of her “eerie” decorations, the judges - Susan and Jerry Padfield, Wanda and Larry Weiner and Katy Leidel. Judy and Tara were on board again with beverages and thanks to Rudy Blohm for his photography skills. Sharon Goldman and Sue Kerzisnik made delicious treats for dessert. The Coveted Tennis Balls went to - Niecie Handelman as most original, for Best Couples - Sharon and Neil Goldman and Dee and Ralph Ricapito as dog walkers and their dogs, the Bodor’s as Best Family - Heidi as an Elfin Warrior, Danko as a Knight, Karina as a Hooded Huntress and Ellie as a Knight who made

her costume out of pop tops. Most Creative went to Barbara Pendrell and Meg Loomis as Judy and Tara as hostesses of the Koffee Klatsch. Teams have begun and I am seeing some good matches out there on the courts. Both the ladies and men are enjoying team clinics and it seems that having my buddy John on the second court has been a huge success. Next up will be our Night In Venice in January. Stop by the Pro Shop for further details. February brings a Valentine Mixer, March we will have the St. Patrick’s Day Round Robin and Irish Fare and Landings Day will be in April. I can’t believe we are coming to the end of 2013. Thanks to everyone for your continued support - I enjoy working with all of you.

Racquet Club News

At a recent Koffee Klatch, Andrejs Jurjans, known to his friends as Andre, introduced me to the lady in the photo between Andre and his wife Bonnie Cummings. Andre and Bonnie have been married for over 33 years, spending the last decade plus at The Landings. Both are active tennis players and are valued members on their respective teams. They are also known as being the proud grandparents of Jeffery, a well-

known young boy of nine. But, who is the lady in the middle of the picture? Her name is Judy Petersen and she told me that she was from Davenport, Iowa, was an avid tennis player and loved a new sport called Pickle Ball (a sport becoming very popular on the East Coast of Florida). The reason for her importance is that 35 years ago Judy asked Bonnie if she would play in a mixed doubles night that she was organizing at their tennis club in Northern Virginia. Bonnie’s partner was to be a nice guy who worked for the Navy as an engineer. While Bonnie worked at the Pentagon, Judy felt that they would be a good mix. Naturally his name was Andrejs Junjans and they have been playing mixed doubles together ever since. This lady was very important indeed, she was Cupid.

No matter where you were last month, everyone felt that first chill in the air. It’s a natural wake up call that the year is coming to a close and that the tourist season has begun in Florida. Visitors and residents alike have come to enjoy the pre-winter events such as the Chalk Festival held downtown, the Sand Sculpting Competition on Siesta Key, the return of McRib sandwich at McDonalds and the constant Christmas caroling at FM 92.1 just to name a few. Here are a few more events. Maybe less entertaining, but more important if you are a condominium owner. The 2014 budget mailing that all of you should have received by now is a pretty big deal. Some budget meetings have been completed, the budgets approved and the coupon books ordered. Others are just coming to a close with questions sure to

come from those in attendance regarding necessary reserve funding. Annual Meetings, some now, some next month will provide condominium owners an open forum for self expression on hot topics or general concern issues. I t a lso al lows for those volunteers that serve on boards and committees to recap some of the accomplishments or to look toward the future and explain upcoming plans. Summer projects have finally been completed due to many interruptionsthanks to the rainierthan usual rainyseason. Thankfully,no storm threats thispast year. Citizens Insurancewill not renewmany policies forthe New Year dueto some new players entering

the mix of admitted carriers in the insurance market that are regulated and bound by Florida state law. For the most part, the year was not an unlucky 13. But we are sure looking forward to a great New Year for everyone that calls the Sarasota area home.

As I mentioned in last month’s letter, the December significant tennis event coming is the Lessons for Life charity event on December 7th. The activities include clinics and exhibitions by

area tennis professionals and a dinner. Information is available at the Club. Once again, we had a record number of teams participating in the Senior and Super Senior Father/Son tournament. And again, as usual, we had a large spectator turnout and participation in the team luncheon. I thank everyone who participated—the local volunteers that continue to make it run smoothly, the contributors to the luncheon and the spectators. It is this participation that sets us apart from the other three tournaments. We adopted the 2014 operating and capital budget at our November 19th board meeting. The Annual Assessment remained the same as last year’s at $1,244. Our annual meeting will be held at 7:00PM on January 21st. The principal purpose of this meeting is to elect the Board of Directors and subsequently the officers of the Club. It is important that as many of you are represented as possible. The meeting notice was sent out in November, along with a proxy for you to be represented at the meeting if you cannot attend.

I would like to thank all the m e m b e r s t h a t part ic ipated as h o s t f a m i l i e s during the Father/Son tournaments

and especially Ralph and Dee Ricapito for organizing the entire group. As it is each and every year, the hosts did another outstanding job catering the player lunch. The food brought in by the members was outstanding as usual. Thanks again for your help in making this a special tournament for all the players. I know they really appreciate it. Our Annual “Lessons for Life” charity benefit is scheduled for December 7th. This will be the 8th consecutive year that the Landings Racquet Club has been the host facility. “Lessons for Life” is a charity event that benefits the Center for Building Hope and a local family with a child affected by cancer. Many of our area’s most talented

tennis professionals are donating their time and talents to conduct clinics from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. At 6:00 PM there will be an exhibition by the Pros, dinner and music. The Silent Auction runs from 3:00 - 7:00 PM. The cost is $60.00 per person, $100.00 per couple or $25 for children under 12 years of age. All the money raised from this event will go directly to the charity. Tickets are available in the Tennis Pro Shop. Please join us for this great cause. For more information, contact Brenda Mertz at 412-0781. The Annual Holiday Dinner Dance is Saturday, December 14th in the Lakeside Clubhouse with cocktails at 6:00 and dinner at 6:30 PM. Our popular one-man-band Earl NeSmith will provide the music and entertainment. James Riegel from

Black Tie Catering is back again to provide the food. The menu is posted in the Tennis Pro Shop. Please register by December 11th if you would like to attend the party. Beginning January 9th Bob & Teresa Manteiga will conduct a Conversational Spanish & Culture class. Whether you are fluent in Spanish already or are just beginning, this class is for you. Similar to the Italian Club we had years ago, members will meet once or twice a month to practice their Spanish and learn about Spanish culture, history, art, food and wine. If you are interested in joining the class or have questions about it, please contact Teresa at [email protected] or Bob at 401-374-3756. Tengas un buen dia!

The Landings Learning Group will launch its 2014 season on Wednesday, January 8th. Ten high quality programs of lectures and musical entertainment are scheduled. All programs are on Wednesdays at 4:00 PM. The fee for Landings Racquet Club members for the ten program series is $25.00 and $35.00 for non LRC members. Sign up at the Landings Racquet Club. Guests are welcome for individual programs. There will be a $5.00 charge for non subscribing LRC members and $8.00 for non members. We are pleased to announce that a “HEARING LOOP” has been installed in the Lakeside Room of the LRC; this loop will significantly improve the clarity of sound for the hearing challenged who have “T-Coils” in their hearing aides. The technicians who installed the loop at the LRC suggest that you will experience significantly improved clarity if you sit close to the left or right walls, or in the rear of the auditorium, which will place you physically close to the “Loop”. If you have special “hearing needs”, speak to a LLG Committee member and a front row seat will be reserved for you. A special invitation is extended to new residents of the Landings, within the last 12 months, to be the guest of the LLG, and receive free admission to the opening performance and reception. Please call Howard & Adrienne Feltman (941 926 1306) or e-mail at [email protected] so that you may be added to the guest list for the first program.

June Garber is an outstanding jazz vocalist who recently arrived in Sarasota from Canada. In Canada she performed in theatre, television and film. She has performed with outstanding jazz musicians who have inspired her and helped create magical experiences for audiences around the world. Whether singing with a symphony orchestra, a big band at the Palais Royal in Toronto, at the Mambo Club in Cuba or an intimate club in Australia, June always connects with her audience. Whether up tempo or ballad, her connection to each song is from her soul. When June sings you feel as though she is singing directly to you. The June Garber’s jazz quartet features Eddy Tobin, piano. We enjoyed Eddy’s jazz piano when he performed for the LLG at our tribute to Jerry Jerome event. Eddy is not only an outstanding pianist, but he is also an excellent jazz vocalist. Tom

Ellison will play the saxophone and flute. Tom is also known as a vocalist. Billy Pillucere plays the, bass and David Pruyn the drums. A very exciting jazz vocalist and jazz quartet will create an exciting and energizing afternoon of Jazz.

Some of you may think I have a funny way of showing how much I like all of you - but trust me - I’m very happy here in The Landings. Just takes me a while to get used to some things. My “Godmother” Keke Kahn found me for my mom when I was living in California. I then moved to Tennessee where my mom, Meg and my first canine buddy Mickey (I met Callie, Izzy and Grace later) came to get me. We had room service in the hotel before heading to Florida the next day in an SUV - great beginning. Everyone was very glad to see me when I got here. For awhile people called me Chobe - what was that all about? But it seems my name is Griff and I am a Brussels Griffon. I hear there are some others in The Landings - let’s get together. I have many friends - both two and four legged. I love when the “card girls” come over - treats for me. And I also visit my many friends at the Portside Villas - human, dogs and cats - Mosbey is a good sport. Of course starting the day off in the Pro Shop doesn’t hurt.

I watch everyone come and go while getting treats from Kevin. Alice thinks she is teaching me tricks and Gary and I are weekend buddies. I like walking with my dog group - thanks to all of you for including me and showing me around and I especially like rip racin’ with Charlie, Wally and Kip. Let’s go to the park! Now that tennis has started I enjoy going to lunch with the ladies’ team after the match. I am always the recipient of carrots from their salads. I turned one in October and the “card girls” and I had a delicious carrot cake....... Here’s to loving life in Paradise.

Pet of the Month Jolly ol’ LANDIN Boy here! Well I just got finished with something you call Thanksgiving. Many great smells came from the kitchen. The school frowns upon us being fed people food (for various reasons) so I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of tasty turkey morsels added to my kibble. I think I like this Holiday time of year. You people gather with family, friends and loved ones to celebrate a common thread. Someone said “The Gift that keeps on giving”. All of the joy, love, peace, caring, sharing…..it’s really quite wonderful! The weather is cooler but your hearts are as warm as ever. This is also a very busy time for me. Lots of events with my people and my school group. They call it “exposures”, I call it “fun”. Oh since I mentioned sharing; It’s time for another LANDIN LAUGH: How do Chihuahua’s say Merry Christmas? *** Fleas Navidog! Some of your Holiday

traditions and stories are great. One of my favorites ends with “ …and I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight “ HIS NAME IS LANDIN AND HE WAS BORN TO BE A GUIDE DOG”oops wrong story… now where did I put . OK Here it is : MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

TO BE CONTINUED....

I can smell again!Thank you endoscope!

Cats are prone to certain upper respiratory diseases, such as nasal polyps - common, noncancerous, teardrop-shaped growths that form in the nose or sinuses, usually around the area where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Symptoms include: nasal congestion, nasal discharge unresponsive to antibiotics, sneezing, decreased nasal airflow and noisy breathing, especially when inhaling. Surgical procedures are performed endoscopically, with a small telescope, which removes the polyps while preserving normal tissue.When breathing matters, hope begins at...

Pet Talk By Dr. Anne Chauvet

Dr. Chauvet earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, completed a small animal medicine/surgery internship at the University of Illinois in Urbana and finished her residency in neurology/neurosurgery at the University of California, Davis. She has been trained in small animal rehabilitation by the Canine Rehabilitation Institute of Wellington, Florida and is known internationally for her specialized work in the relatively rare field of veterinary neurology speaking to, training, and consulting with veterinary practices and organizations globally.

If you have a question about your pet, please

email your question to [email protected] Each month, Dr. Chauvet will choose

a few questions to share with readers.

1: Smelly discharge from pet’s ear – causes and treatment? Ah! This is a loaded question! Bacteria overgrowth/infection or yeast overgrowth/infection (candida) can cause smelly ears. Yeast usually has a sweet smell - don’t ask, but this is our way of being a P.I. of disease: we smell, look, touch, but we don’t taste. Ear problems can be present due to poor ventilation – common in long-eared breeds, such as in Bassett Hounds, Cocker Spaniels and Beagles. Excess humidity can cause ear problems, particularly in dogs that swim a lot. Poor drainage can lead to deeper infections and even more complications. The treatment is usually in the form of topical antibiotics (drops or ointments), but (oral) antibiotics or antifungal work best with systemic. The most common issue however, is the underlying problem: allergies. When one ear is affected, it is probably due to infection. When both have a problem it is usually due to allergies.

2: I’m taking my “Florida dog” to Minnesota for the holidays. Is there any winter weather care I should know of prior to the trip? Sudden change of weather can be a shocker for you and your dog. A coat and booties for your pup would definitely be advisable. The snow can leave paws that have not habituated

to it with cuts and sores. Other than that, enjoy the weather, but watch out for the fishing holes in the lakes.

3: I just got a kitten – should I or should I not declaw her? Pros and cons of declawing a cat. Declawing is a preference. Personally, I do not declaw, unless it means the cat must go if the declaw does not happen. Imagine having your entire nails removed. Ouch! It is a rather tough and painful procedure, so unless your cat is strictly indoors and it is the only alternative, please do not declaw.

4: I adopted an obese cat. How can I adjust his diet to achieve a healthy weight? It is rather difficult to establish a weight loss program for a cat. If the cat is loosing weight too quickly, it can develop a fatty liver disease. Drastic change of food itself can also be harmful. Your best bet is to slowly replace your cat’s food with a healthy weight diet; many pet food companies offer weight loss alternatives. Over time, your cat should start getting leaner. Additionally, consider playing a lot with your cat. Exercise, like for us, is a great bonus. And remember that cat jelly bellies are fun and cute. So don’t be too harsh on your cat.

January 15th (Wednesday) at 3 pm bring your leashed dog to the south parking lot of Eagles Point Circle. You will have the opportunity to make one single file lap around Eagles Point Circle and present your dog before Keke Kahn our own renowned world class dog show judge. Keke Kahn will also be judging at the Westminster dog show in February. The categories in our show will be a grand finale surprise - no costumes please. Reminder posters will be posted soon !

• The fate of North Beach Road It is the one area of Siesta Key that demonstrates you can’t fight Mother Ocean. North Beach Road has been closed to traffic on and off since 1982. Storms continue to undermine the road. Last year Hurricane Sandy collapsed a 150-foot section and necessitated emergency repairs. Even June’s Tropical Storm Andrea – a weak system – caused more erosion in the area. After “Sandy,” the county commission asked for independent engineering analysis. The results are in, and it is either “revetments and a seawall” or “hold your breath.” Cost estimates are north of $2 million. The area has been recognized for years as critically eroded. The county for years has not allowed any private construction near the area. County Commissioner Nora Patterson, who asked for the engineering studies, has been quoted as saying, “I think we have no option but a wait-and-see. At this point in time, it would be hard to justify that expenditure.”

• Illegal rentals onthe key The county’s code enforcement officer said, “This summer was the worst summer we’ve had.” John Lally was speaking before the Siesta Key Association in November about the number of illegal rentals on the island. Scams are starting to show up too. Lally noted people showed up on two separate occasions at a house on the key, saying they had rented it. It was a surprise to the owner. “The money went to Nigeria or wherever,” said Lally. He’s been chasing owners who converted below FEMA-grade areas into rental units, and structures modified to accept a greater number of people than allowed by code and fire safety regulations.

• Ramirez runs for county commission “The commissioner for Siesta Key” was an unofficial title for four-term county commissioner Nora Patterson. But she’s term-limited, and cannot run again. Enter Lourdes Ramirez, who would like to take up the mantle. Ramirez is a former chair of the Siesta Key Association, and now heads the Sarasota County Coali t ion of Neighborhood Associations. She’ll face Al Maio in the Republican primary election next year. He’s vice president of the consulting firm Kimley-Horn which does a lot of business with the County and the City of Sarasota. Ramirez has already faced one smear tactic that resulted in criminal charges of a former chair of the county Republican Party for identity theft, as he tried to make donations in Ramirez’ name to Democratic candidates. Bob Wechter’s trial is expected next year in circuit court. Ramirez is campaigning t o s u p p o r t t h e c o u n t y ’ s comprehensive plan, which contains “fiscal neutrality” provisions that require new development to help pay for schools, libraries, roads, public safety and other infrastructure needed to support a larger population.

• Happy Birthday SKA! The Siesta Key Association is 65 this year, and not about to retire. The group formed in 1948 when less than 500 people lived on the island. But one aspect has not changed. The SKA still tries to guide Sarasota County land-use policies, especially when they pertain directly or indirectly to Siesta Key. Unlike many other barrier islands, Siesta remains an “ u n i n c o r p o r a t e d a r e a ” governed directly by the county commiss ion . Al though a t

times the idea of forming an incorporated town has risen, the concept never reached a take-off point. The two hot topics at the moment for the SKA are a proposed beach renourishment project that will syphon sand – for the first time in history – from Big Pass north to Lido Key. The SKA is calling for a peer review of the Corps of Engineers plan. The second topic under the association’s scrutiny is county treatment of outdoor merchandise displays in Siesta Village. There is a county-wide ban on showing wares outside retail shop. The SKA is thinking of asking for a change to the Siesta Key Overlay District that allows exemptions to overall county policies.

• Broken Egg broken up One of Siesta Key’s signature restaurants made famous by ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale is no more. Broken Egg owners Bob and Pam Kirscher have sold their interest in the three-shop chain. The other two are at Lakewood Ranch and Clark Road. Soon after the announcement, the doors at the Siesta Key location were locked as new owners began renovations. It will re-open in early February as “Another Broken Egg,” one of a chain of stores from Louisiana to North Carolina. The Clark Road store was sold to Dawn Hair, the current manager. It will keep the “Broken Egg” sign, but menus will note it is not affiliated with the “Another Broken Egg” chain. Meanwhile the sale opens the door for the chain to make a significant expansion into Florida. It may open new stores at 35 or more locations in the state. Kirscher said he has no plans to leave Sarasota, or retire.

Village Café is a perfect people-watching place for breakfast and lunch. Perched at the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and “Eat Street” — nom de plume by foodies for Avenida Madera, so named due to all the restaurants on the street —outdoor dining and picture windows allow ample opportunities to watch the world pass you by while noshing on traditional and special dining fare. Breakfast and lunch are served from the 7 a.m. opening to the 2:30 p.m. close. A patron favorite is any one of the eight “Lotta Eggs” omelettes. Owners Kay and Tom Kouvatsos admit that although the menu describes the dishes as containing four eggs, they sometimes have five or even six eggs in each. A plain omelette is $6.95. From that starting point, splurge: Lox & Onion ($11.95); The Works with onion, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes, diced ham, bacon, and sausage ($10.95); The Swimsuit with egg whites , spinach, mushroom, tomatoes, and “no cheese!” for $9.95; or the Greek Omelette with feta cheese, green peppers, onions, sausage, and tomatoes ($9.95.) Fol lowing suit with the “Eggseptional Dishes” is the Mexican Wrap or Siesta Benedict, both $9.95 and both served with home fries, grits, or fresh fruit. The popular Mexican Wrap features south-of-the-border favorites chorizo, refried beans, scrambled eggs, onions, green peppers, and cheeses wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. The Siesta Benedict has a

perfectly poached pair of eggs perched on Canadian bacon on top of a crispy English muffin, smothered with a tangy Hollandaise sauce. Following in the International theme of breakfast is Stuffed French Toast ($8.50) with either apricots and cream cheese or fresh apples, cinnamon, and cream cheese. Or diners may want to sample the Belgian Waffle topped with powdered sugar for $6.95. There are, of course, traditional first-of-the-morning meals offered at Village Café: bacon and eggs, pancakes, frittatas, and muffins. There are also Healthy Choices like fresh fruit, bagels with all the fixings, or the Siesta Key Oatmeal: oatmeal topped with strawberry yogurt, bananas, and strawberries, served with an English muffin for $6.95. Lunch fare at Village Café is as eclectic as breakfast, and also follows an International theme. In celebration of Tom’s heritage is Tom’s Greek Salad, with mixed greens, Greek peppers, onions, tomatoes, feta cheese, green peppers, olives, hard-boiled egg, and a house dressing for $9.95. A Taco Salad has a homemade shell filled with greens, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mixed cheeses, all topped with marinated grilled chicken and a special dressing on the side, for $11.95. Coming back to the U.S. is the Philly Cheese Steak ($9.95) with the flavorful beef served with grilled onions, peppers, and American cheese, served on a hoagie roll with a side of fries. Village Café has eight deli-style sandwiches, all served with

lettuce, tomato, and pickle. Popular is the Reuben ($7.45) and the Siesta Club ($9.25). The club is served with either ham and cheese or turkey, plus lettuce, tomato, bacon, pickles and fries, served with mayonnaise. Burgers are half-pound in size and run the gamut with add-ons. The Siesta is popular, with its guacamole, sliced tomato, and pepper jack cheese at $9.95 with a choice of a side dish. A meatless Veggie Burger has tzatsiki sauce for $6.75. Another lunchtime fare favorite is the Grilled Chicken Salad ($9.75: marinated chicken, grilled, served on a Romaine salad which includes cucumbers, tomatoes, cheeses, and a boiled egg. Also on the plate is pita bread and honey-mustard dressing. Grilled shrimp is an alternative for the chicken for 20 cents more. A kids menu for those under 10 years of age offer either a hot dog, grilled cheese sandwich, or chicken fingers served with fries for $5.95. The 99-seat restaurant serves beer and wine and fills up fast.

Artist of the Month By Diana Colson

|The creative world of Kenney DeCamp The creative life of Kenney DeCamp is one that is truly unique. In the 1970’s while working as an orthopedic Physician’s Assistant (PA) at Patterson Army Hospital in New Jersey, Kenney met Bruce Springsteen. He soon became involved with the production company that was booking Bruce’s first band, Steel Mill. They brought Kenney and his Doctor’s Bag along for the tour, where he would be available to treat people who had minor injuries or were “bad-tripping” in the decadent style of the 70’s. The more Kenney worked around The Boss, the more Kenney became inspired by the imagery of his songs. “I took one song—Wild Billy’s Circus— and dance-acted it out. A friend was watching, and suggested I take pantomime classes. The idea intrigued me, and I started working with a mime teacher in New York City—Claude Kipnis, one of the star pupils of Marcel Marceau. Later, in 1974, Claude got me into a six-week workshop with the maestro himself, an experience that forever changed my life.” Soon Kenney was hired to put on mime performances during Andy Warhol’s infamous Factory parties. While exploring the world of the mime, Kenney continued practicing as a PA for the New York Medical College in NYC, eventually being promoted to serve as the first PA to practice Neurosurgery. During his limited free time, he began to study with the best of the dance masters, many of whom allowed him to audit a class free of charge because he worked at the Medical College. Kenney audited classes with Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, Robert Jeoffrey, Twyla Tharpe, Tommy Tune, Paul Taylor, and others. He soon put these newly honed dance/mime skills to use when he started working as a stage director for musical groups, including The Crystals, The Brooklyn Bridge, and The Johnny Walker Band. Impressed

by his creative fire, RCA records hired him to begin staging shows, and also to work as a Personal Energy Trainer designing dietary and exercise plans for various performers. Initially he was hired to work only with the lead singer, but soon his job expanded to include all members of the band. This unique niche field turned out to be a perfect blend of Kenney’s medical interests and his skills as a body-linguist. “The first feature performer I worked with was Vicki Sue Robinson, whose debut single sold 350,000 copies in its first six weeks. It was the iconic disco song, Turn the Beat Around. Vicki had drug issues which were destroying her body, and I was brought in to turn her destructive habits around as well as stage the show for her upcoming first tour. It turned out to be a successful tour, and Vicki’s vision of herself improved.” Soon after that, Kenney began working with other performers, both dancers and singers. The list is long, and included Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Andrea True, and other disco up-and-coming artists. In the 1980’s and 90’s, Kenney traveled the world doing mime and body language work promoting the concept of Human Growth Education (HGE), a field in which he continues to become increasingly involved. Some of this work was done in conjunction with Rotary International’s Goodwill Ambassador Programs. From 1983-1996, Kenney built a successful career as the producer and owner-operator of a performing dance/mime school in the Chicago area. The school featured instruction in Dance, Modeling, Acting and Singing. In its twelve years of operation, Kenney and his teachers instructed more than 10,000 students of various ages. He staged show after show after show, with performances slated for almost every weekend. From 1991-2000, under the auspices of Rotary International, Kenney organized Health to the Children International in

Dundee, Illinois. This Not-For-Profit Organization fundraised and dispersed more than $3 million dollars in medicine, equipment, clothing, toys, and specialized surgeries for children in Yugoslavia, USSR-Russia, Albania, Montenegro, Jamaica,

Grand Cayman and Mexico. While visiting these countries, Kenney also performed and taught. Kenney had served as an Orthopedic Specialist during the Vietnam Conflict. Now in 2002-2003, he became the interim executive director of the Vietnam Veteran’s Art Museum in Chicago. He also served as co-host of the Veteran’s Radio Hour in Chicago, a program which served 94 USA radio stations plus 56 countries on internet stream. In 2006, Kenney moved to Sarasota, drawn by the crystal sands of Siesta Key. From 2007-2008, he served as Managing Editor-Public Relations Director for the Sarasota edition of Arts & Culture Magazine. He also established DeCamp Associates International (DCAI), and has been involved in many local projects as a publicist as well as a community/public/media relations director. Currently Kenney is the Education Chair for the Board of

the Fine Arts Society of Sarasota, as well as a vice-president of Sister Cities Association of Sarasota. He also serves as President of the Board of Friends of Selby Public Library. In recent months, Kenney has appeared as a lecturer at the Einstein Circle at USF, performed as Charlie Chaplin in a fashion show at the Venice Yacht Club, and enlightened students at Southside Elementary School on the talents of Charlie, considered the world’s greatest mimic comedian. Kenney often uses his Charlie skills to entertain Sarasota crowds at various events around town. He recently gave a lecture on the silent film artist at the Selby Public Library, bringing with him 15 pieces of his personal collection of Charlie memorabilia. On December 11th of 2013, K en n ey i s p r oduc in g t h e entertainment for the Fine Art’s Society’s Celebrate the Arts luncheon. On Wednesday January 8th, from 6 to 9, Kenney will host the fundraiser he created

for the Selby Public Library, an annual event titled Looking into the Crystal Ball. This has become one of the most delightful soirees in Sarasota! Known as “The People’s Gala” because of its affordable $20 admission, it is an evening filled with performances, artists, exhibitions, tasty bites and cash bar. The Crystal Ball is held inside Selby Library itself, and Kenney, of course, will serve as Master of Ceremonies. (For more information on the event, go to www.selbylibraryfriends.org.) 2 0 1 4 i s t h e 1 0 0 t h y e a r anniversary of Charlie Chaplin as an iconic star and director of silent films. An ambitious outreach program is planned to celebrate the centenary. Working with PBS producer Gus Mollasis, the pair plans to reach as many schools as possible in Sarasota County. In a performance Sarasota’s children will never forget, Kenney will appear all decked out like Charlie, complete with hat, moustache, walking stick, and signature strut.

Local Fishing ReportBy Captain Jim Klopfer - Adventure Charters 941-371-1390 December is a month that will test an angler’s ability to adapt to current conditions. Water quality will vary throughout the area as passing cold fronts churn up the Gulf of Mexico. The flats between Stickney Pt. and Blackburn Pt. will be more productive under these circumstances. After several days of nice weather, the water near the passes will clear and those areas will once again be good spots to fish. Creeks and canals will attract fish as water temperatures drop. Often times the tides will be very low in the morning in December. This will move trout, pompano, and other species off of the flats and into the deeper channels. Bouncing a jig down the sides of channel edges can be very productive. As the tide rises, fish will move up onto the flats to feed. Afternoon high tides can be the best time to fish the deep flats this time of year. A live shrimp under a cork is very

effective, as are jigs with plastic grub tails. Natural colors such as olive, rootbeer, and motor oil work well in the slightly darker water. Oyster bars south of Siesta Drive will hold redfish, snook, and trout, along with the first of the migrating sheepshead. Bars that drop off sharply into deeper water will be the most productive spots. Free lined live shrimp and scented soft plastics on a 1/8 ounce jig head work well. Docks, canals, and creeks in this same area will also hold fish, especially after fronts. Phillippi Creek and the Grand Canal on Siesta Key are some of the most popular fishing holes. Rapala X-Raps work very well on snook and jack crevelle for anglers who prefer to cast artificial baits. They elicit explosive strikes and allow anglers to cover a lot of area fairly quickly. Once fish are located, large live shrimp and slowly worked soft plastic baits will also

catch their share. Sheepshead and black drum will be found in the deeper holes, a live shrimp works best for these tasty bottom dwellers. Both Big Pass and New Pass will be good spots to fish in the morning incoming tide. Jigs bounced off the bottom will catch pompano, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and ladyfish. Structure in both passes will attract sheepshead, along with grouper, snapper, flounder, and other species. Slack tides are the best times to fish these spots, a swiftly moving tide makes getting the bait to the bottom difficult. The many docks along Bird Key are especially productive for sheepies. Surf casters all along Siesta Key will score on whiting, silver trout, flounder, and more using live and frozen shrimp. A #1 hook with just a little bit of weight works best. Silver spoons will catch mackerel if they are still around, along with ladyfish.

As previously detailed here, Comet Ison has rounded the Sun and is spewing gases like carbon monoxide and sporting a tail. We need to look for it in early December in the following, new location. In semi-darkness just before dawn on Dec. 5, 6, 7, it will be hanging in the east/southeast near the horizon. Its tail pointing upwards, it will be found in the little-known constellation of Ophiuchus (look up this star group in Google Search). Astronomers still are not sure how bright the comet will shine. Everyone hopes it will be at least as visible as the planet Saturn, which, helpfully, is about an elbow’s length up to the right of Ison on those mornings. It’s best that one gets up well before dawn’s light and focus on the region mentioned above with a pair of binoculars. It will be worth arising early to see if Ison turns out to be anything near the spectacular event we’re expecting. The few comets I have seen in the past always gave me a rare, spooky feeling. S k y & T e l e s c o p e a n d Astronomy magazines are filling in some blank spots in comet science. The experts confess to much ignorance about these “mysterious visitors” from Outer Space. Among the unknowns is just how these weird UFO-ish interlopers originate. The theory is they are “born” in the ghostly, frigid Oort Cloud (with temps over 200 deg. below zero) located outside the Solar System. But how do they get into their orbits about the Sun? When do they first start on their multibillion-mile journeys? Some are billions of years old. They go back to the time of the Earth’s formation, or some 4.5 billion years ago. Astronomers suppose that most comets explode and glow as they do because the Sun’s heat collides with the compressed gaseous “snow” inside the comet’s nucleus (or head). It turns out that comets act something like orbiting firecrackers. Their

gases are ignited under the terrific pressures built up in these tight relatively small objects. As to size, Ison is reckoned to be only about 3miles in diameter. BUT it packs a wallop. One reputable online source notes: Comet ISON has been emitting about 2.2 million pounds of carbon dioxide and monoxide per day in a tail about 186,400 miles long. Its emission of dust weighs as much as 266 statues of Liberty. The pent-up forces inside these mini-pressure cookers is like the pressures that would accumulate inside billions of unopened cans of soda and that would produce similar explosive effects. Several times, space probes have gotten a close look at various comets. Their cameras show how luminous gas is jetted out of the comet’s head. Some comets have small craters on them; others are smooth.

A g a i n , n o t e that a comet does not look

in the sky like a “shooting star,” or meteor. It appears to our eyes not even to be moving. Yet it is zipping through space. You can detect its motion by observing Ison on successive nights in early December. The comet will be seen to have progressed upwards to the left on a trajectory that makes it bee line towards the North Star in the Little Dipper. Long before it reaches this point, it is expected to fade from view. Here’s hoping for clear dawns as December begins. Remember, as you use your binoculars, patiently pan about the region where the comet is located. The celestial visitor with the wispy tail will startle you as it appears in your lens.
