Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday

YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

2

Friday, October 31, 2014

No need to hit the snooze button on Sunday. The end of daylight saving time will give you that extra hour of sleep you’ve been seeking. Clocks will fall back to standard time Sunday at 2 a.m. While much of the United States observes DST, some places, like Hawaii and most of Arizona, do not. Benjamin Franklin proposed the concept of daylight saving time in 1784. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act for time-zone boundaries. This standardized daylight saving time practices across the country so they would not affect public transportation schedules. Over the years, this system of maximizing daylight hours was also touted as a way to conserve resources, particularly during times of war. But author Michael Downing argues that’s no longer the case.

Commissioners accept gift from the Friends of the Museum of the Everglades

The Board of Collier County Commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday to accept a $30,000 donation from the Friends of the Museum of the Everglades and to appropriate $36,000 to purchase a paved parking lot adjacent to the Museum of the Everglades, 105 W. Broadway St., Everglades City. Visitor parking at the Museum of the Everglades is currently limited to nine passenger vehicles and is difficult to access due to the close proximity of the Museum building and wheelchair ramp. As a result, parking often overflows onto the lawn and grassed medians along Broadway Street and Storter Avenue and is a recurring safety concern and eyesore for Everglades City. Acquisition of this new lot will add 28 additional parking spaces for visitors and provide a separate, more convenient and safer access to the Museum. The property will also be useful as a staging area for the Museum and after-hours community events, including the bicycle safety class held annually by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.

three New poll shows tight race for Florida governor

A Quinnipiac University poll shows the race between Democrat Charlie Crist and Republican Gov. Rick Scott is still tight. Crist was supported by 43 percent of those polled while Scott received support from 40 percent. But the survey released Thursday has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percent, making the race a statistical tie.

Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie received 8 percent support in the poll. A Quinnipiac poll released eight days earlier showed each candidate with 42 percent support.

Thursday’s poll showed that 40 percent of respondents who already voted cast their ballot for Crist, compared to 39 percent for Scott. The survey of 817 likely voters was conducted Oct. 22-27. Tuesday is Election Day. Marco voters have a choice between four candidates for three open position on City Council.

Marco Island Veterans’ Community Park

City Manager bridges dream and reality

By Cheryl Ferrara Eagle Correspondent

When a citizen committee developed the plan, it took an undeveloped property from a diamond in the rough to the crown jewel. Marco Island’s City Council praised and approved it in 2009.

That plan turned out to be the Veterans’ Community Park master plan.

Five years have passed since council’s approval. Ten days have passed since the four City Council candidates

said they would like to see a future for that plan.

The stumbling block, candidates said, was the cost of taking the master plan forward.

On Wednesday, City Manager Roger Hernstadt talked about ways to remove the funding hurdle.

Looking for money from the State of Florida was one justification for council’s decision to hire a lobbyist, said Hernstadt.

Python problems

condo fire

Marco Island police find 10-footer Staff

Cheryl Ferrara/Eagle Correspondent

Responding to a fire alarm Sunday morning, Marco Island firefighters Matt Lund and Eric Griffin prepare to enter The Charter Club condominium, 700 S. Collier Blvd. First on the scene was Division Chief Jeff Kutzke, who reported that excess smoke from cooking set off the alarm.

On Wednesday, the Marco Island Police Department responded to a snake that was hit by individual mowing a lawn.

The @MarcoIslandPD Twitter account says the snake is believed to be a Burmese python approximately 10 feet in length.

Burmese pythons are a non-native species and preying on Florida’s native mammals. They have also been known to kill and eat alligators.

Since 1979, there have been almost 2,000 sightings of the Burmese python in Florida, with more than half occurring in Miami-Dade County.

With Burmese python eggs hatching in Southwest Florida, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida wants people, and mainly motorists on U.S. 41, to be on the lookout.

“The area of concern is primarily along eastern U.S. 41,” said Ian Bartoszek, a biologist at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, in a July report, adding that part is where the core python population seems to live in Southwest Florida.

The pythons cross roads in search of food and water.

Bartoszek said the pythons made their way to Southwest Florida after thousands were imported from their native home in Southeast Asia to the United States for the pet trade. He also said he’ll likely never know whether the snakes were released intentionally or if they escaped.

There were 60 python sightings in Collier County between 2008 and 2013, according to data compiled by Florida’s Invasive Species Partnership. There have been less than 10 sightings in Collier County so far in 2014.

Since 1979, there have been almost 2,000 sightings of the Burmese python in Florida, with more than half occurring in Miami-Dade County.

In 2013, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission hosted the “Python Challenge” to raise awareness about the species and the threat they pose to the Everglades ecosystem. In the monthlong challenge, 68 pythons were

harvested. FWC promotes permitted harvesting and responsible pet ownership so the invasive species is not released into the wild.

FWC has a program available for those who wish to help ease the burden of Burmese pythons on Florida’s ecosystem.

According to the FWC website, “The Burmese Python Removal Program is not a hunting program or a recreational program; rather it is a management tool that allows people to remove Burmese pythons and other nonnative reptiles from state lands.”

Anyone interested in obtaining a python harvesting permit and participating in the program can visit the FWC website at http://myfwc.com/license/ wildlife/nonnative-species/pythonpermit-program/.

If a person sees a python, they should take a photo and can log on to ivegot1.org to report it, or call 1-888-IVE-GOT-1 (1-888-483-4681).

CITY

from 4A He felt optimistic the city could be successful in obtaining funds for the park.

“Marco Island is land poor. Council secured a large piece of land (for public use), borrowing to do so. The Veterans’ fundraising committee and the community stepped forward, coming up with more than $400,000.”

That money paid for the Veterans’ Memorial and new Freedom Fountain planned for the entrance of the memorial area. The fountain should be in place by early 2015.

“Marco Island really has not gone to the state and asked for a grant for any projects like other cities have,” Hernstadt continued.

But it was the improved economy that made now the best possible time for asking.

“The state is doing well financially.

Revenues are up and the governor has paid down the debt.” Hernstadt praised local state representatives, saying he was confident they would work to secure funds for the city. He estimated the city might be able to secure a grant for up to $2.5 million over one or two years.

The downside for seeking funds now would be the speed at which decisions would have to be made.

“People designed the park elements and they look good,” Hernstadt said. “The majority of people supported it and council approved it, but no one checked to see if the price (the designer estimated) was tolerable to the community.”

The plan calls for three buildings on the park site: a 3,500-square-foot band shell, a 28,000-square-foot performing

arts center, and a 1,700-square-foot concession/restroom facility.

“In 2009, that would have cost $30 million. Is that realistic?” Hernstadt asked. “We (residents) discussed the plan with no gut check to see if the price was tolerable. We set up some unfulfillable expectations.

“My sense is that people are cost conscious, business planners on how they spend their money.”

Hernstadt offered an alternative to three buildings by combining them.

“Let’s look at the must-haves in one structure,” he suggested. That building would reduce the price to an estimated $7.5 million.

Hernstadt also said the all-inclusive project would help satisfy any qualifications the state might require for a shovelready project.

In addition, Hernstadt has done some homework and Marco Island could replicate a building plan from another Florida city. He preferred not to say which one.

For next steps, he hoped that city council and staff could clearly define what space is needed in the park and how it would be used. If all works out and money comes from the state, the project would have to be completed in 18 months to two years.

“That would give city council a short window of time,” Hernstadt concluded.

The city website will have a link shortly to the master plan report from June 15, 2009. The plan was prepared by KimleyHorn and Associates, Inc. On the Veterans’ Community Park Advisory Committee at the time of the report were: Chairman Monte Lazarus, vice chairwoman Val Simon, Claudia KlugKowel, Syd Mellinger and Marv Needles.

The city manager was Steve Thompson.

People designed the park elements and they look good. The majority of people supported it and council approved it, but no one checked to see if the price (the designer estimated) was tolerable to the community.”

The SANCTUARY that almost wasn’t Corkscrew Swamp prepares to celebrate 60-year anniversary

By Lance Shearer Eagle Correspondent

Jason Lauritsen is happy to celebrate the last 60 years of Corkscrew, but he is more focused on the next 60 years.

Lauritsen is the sanctuary director for National Audubon Society’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located between Naples and Immokalee, and this year the society marks 60 years of organized conservation efforts at what is now a more than 13,000-acre preservation area, home to the largest virgin stand of bald cypress trees in the world. Corkscrew will celebrate with a “gala in the swamp” on Dec. 5.

Each year, more than 100,000 visitors come to Corkscrew to walk the famous boardwalk through the natural cathedral of cypress trees, along with a team of scientists, educators, naturalists and volunteers whose mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biological diversity.

While Corkscrew is home to alligators, otters, panthers, turtles and a myriad species of animal and plant life, perhaps no species is as closely identified with Corkscrew Swamp as the wood stork.

“We have this phenomenal bird. The wood stork is an indicator species for the health of the ecosystem, a bellwether not just for Corkscrew but for Southwest Florida,” said Lauritsen. “When the wood storks at Corkscrew stop nesting, that’s a bad sign we need to pay attention to.

An alligator works on swallowing its catch as a white egret, center, and woodstork hunt for food around the edges of a lettuce lake at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.

“We all come from really different backgrounds, so you learn a lot from how the other kids see things. We’ve kind of become one big family.”

LANCE SHEARER/EAGLE CORRESPONDENT

“If we want to keep it so the next generation can see wood storks and panthers, we need to maintain the health of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. But we can’t do it in a vacuum.”

The reason the sanctuary’s wood storks have not been doing well, said Lauritsen, is because of habitat loss, the immense depletion of the shallow wetlands on which these magnificent birds depend on to find the fish to feed their chicks. While 2014 was counted as a successful year for wood stork nesting, this needs to be put into perspective.

“Last year, we had 200 nests, and fledged 300 birds. In 1961 there were 6,000 nests, and 17,000 chicks,” he said.

The birds completely failed to nest in six of the last seven years, so the long-term viability of the population is in the balance, just as the species has been downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened” by the federal government.

Sixty years ago, it was not at all sure that any cypress habitat would survive at all. Most of Southwest Florida’s vast stands of cypress trees had been clear-cut logged, and it took a grassroots community effort, spearheaded by Audubon, to save the 500-plus year-old forest from imminent destruction by a logging company.

Concerned individuals and organizations from throughout South Florida rallied to the cause and raised the funds to purchase the forest and surrounding wetlands from the logging company.

By Dec. 15, 1954, the grassroots effort led to a 2,880-acre Audubon sanctuary, saved for the perpetual enjoyment of the region’s wildlife, residents and visitors, and this is the anniversary that is being commemorated this year. Actually, this was the second Audubon rescue operation at Corkscrew; in the early 1900s, an Audubon warden had safeguarded its vast nesting colony of wading birds from poaching by plume hunters.

In 1956, the first boardwalk opened, although Immokalee Road was not paved until 1963. Attendance data from 1960 shows that 10,000 visitors made the trek that year, although they had to bounce over dirt roads in Jeeps and trucks to reach the sanctuary.

Longtime sanctuary director Ed Carlson, who first came to Corkscrew in 1968 and stayed until he retired in 2012, answered the question of where the name originated. As early as 1853, he said, Army Corps of Engineers maps showed the Corkscrew River, now called the Imperial, so named because of all its twists, up which expeditions would come to find sources of fresh water.

On Friday, Dec. 5, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary will celebrate its 60th anniversary with the Cypress Jubilee, to be held at the Sanctuary. The guest of honor and keynote speaker is Jim Fowler, a professional zoologist who hosted the Emmy Award-winning television show “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.”

The event is limited to 200 people, with a ticket price of $200 per person, with sponsorships available. The event will feature a four-course plated dinner by Crave Culinaire, walks through the forest under the stars, musical entertainment including Naples Philharmonic violinist Jeff Leigh, an art and photo exhibit, and a silent auction.

“We are a sanctuary for people, and for wildlife,” said Lauritsen.

“Our fates are tied together. If people don’t understand the stakes, they will make the wrong choices. We want to educate people on the value of our wild heritage, and also give them a place to enjoy.”

Event reservations may be made through Lori Piper, center administrator at Corkscrew, by calling 239-348-9151, ext. 113. Reservations can also be made through the office of Preddy PR Inc., 239-435-3938, or at Beth@Corkscrew60.org.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the restoration, science, advocacy and education programs of the Sanctuary.

Cleaning up in the woods AMERICORPS VOLUNTEERS HELP OUT AT CORKSCREW SWAMP

By Lance Shearer Eagle Correspondent

They’ve hacked away at Brazilian pepper on Panther Island, sprayed torpedo grass with herbicide while knee-deep in water and pulled popcorn sedge by hand for the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.

During their stay in Collier County, the AmeriCorps NCCC team, kids from all over the country, got an up close look at Florida foliage, focusing on the undesirable, invasive and exotic species.

The team of eight youths, designated Delta 2, came to Southwest Florida as one stop on a working tour that has taken them from Camp Easter Seals in Virginia, to a Habitat for Humanity housing construction project in Alabama, and the St. Marks River in North Florida, before heading back to their base camp in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

The “Delta 2” tag makes the group sound as though they are elite combat troops, but that is true only in their ability to attack invasive vegetation. The young volunteers, aged 18-24, are part of the National Civilian Community Corps, a national service program modeled after the civilian armies of the New Deal who worked on myriad public works projects during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

A recent Saturday morning found the team fanning out around the visitor center at Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp, clearing vegetation away from the buildings and the sanctuary’s iconic boardwalk using chainsaws, brush hooks and branch trimmers. With the area surrounded by thick brush and tall, flammable grasses, keeping an open space around their facilities is an ongoing challenge for the Corkscrew staff.

“We maintain most of our habitats using fire,” said Dr. Mike Knight, natural resources manager at Corkscrew. “Pine flatlands burn every one to three years.

Away from the (visitors’) center, we do prescribed burns. We make firebreaks, and we use the wind. The fire closes in from each side, and it snuffs itself out.”

But around the visitors’ center, these techniques aren’t possible, so the AmeriCorps workers hack away at the brush, and carry off piles and wagonloads of cut vegetation. Here in the heart of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, most of the

plants are not exotics, but native species such as golden dewdrop, wax myrtle and saw palmetto, which must nevertheless be cut back to put some space between a potential fire. As they cut, the youths wear gloves, long sleeves and pants, which tend to get ripped up by the tough vegetation; saw palmetto got its name for a reason.

Their clothes are stained from the muck they have waded through, sewn up where previous gashes took place, and soaked with sweat in the humid heat.

Still, they work away at a steady pace, swinging the brush hooks surrounded by dense stands of palm fronds, moving through the undergrowth until they disappear from the view of the boardwalk.

Diminutive Vicki Cheung, 23, a New York City native, goes after the larger logs with a large Husqvarna chainsaw.

“We all come from really different backgrounds, so you learn a lot from how the other kids see things,” she said when she finally took a break and brushed the sawdust off her ripped-up work pants.

“We’ve kind of become one big family.”

Ella Allen, 19, came from a “pretty well off ” home life in California.

“We have one member from Baltimore, who grew up in a little rougher environment — it’s been an eye-opening experience,” she said. “I graduated in June, and I was looking for what to do. I always wanted to join the Peace Corps, but you need more experience. This has been a great way to learn and see the country, though. You can see the others growing up,” and that’s probably true of her as well.

Additional team members come from Massachusetts, West Virginia and the state of Washington. The group works, lives and travels together for the duration of their 10-month commitment to the program, after training in first aid, CPR and team building workshops. While in the NCCC, the youths receive room and board, transportation, a clothing allowance — and they go through a lot of clothing — and a stipend of $75 per week.

“They’re good hard workers,” said Allyson Webb, resource manager for Panther Island, who coordinated the AmeriCorps group’s assignments at Corkscrew.

“A lot of the people who see them out here clearing the brush say, ‘Hey, send them over to my house.’”

Rookery Bay hosts GIS symposium More than 100 professionals learn innovative techniques for applications Submitted

Each year, the Geographic Information System Symposium at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve draws hundreds of professionals from across the state.

On Oct. 16, more than 100 participants attended in the Fourth Annual GIS Symposium at the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center. This daylong event has grown over the years to become one of the top GIS events in Southwest Florida.

GIS technology uses computer software and other tools to map, model, track and manage data relating to spatial features of land or water. This technology can provide benefits to all aspects of the community from retail businesses to municipal utilities to natural-resource managers. Rookery Bay Reserve’s event engaged professionals from city, county and state governments as well as universities and the private sector.

Through exhibits and featured presentations from GIS professionals and industry leaders such as Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and Trimble representatives, attendees learned about new projects, applications, and data-access opportunities; became exposed to innovative techniques; and networked with other GIS users from a variety of industries and agencies.

Exhibitors provided hands-on opportunities for participants to try out new tools including field equipment and topof-the-line large-format map printers.

The event concluded with a poster session and social hour, with support from the Friends of Rookery Bay. Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve protects 110,000 acres of coastal lands and waters managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in cooperation with NOAA.

Holistic

Healing

Aid in recovery for post-breast cancer

our hair is gone, you have brain fog and no energy — now what?

After breast cancer treatments are over, many patients seek holistic ways to get their bodies and lives back together. Medical professionals and cancer survivors are noting an increase in alternative resources, sharing holistic aftercare practices that help, but note there also is room for improvement.

“During all the treatments you are immersed in this cocoon of people that care about your everyday life. At the end of that, all of a sudden you’re not part of that.

They’ve kind of kicked you out of the nest, which is a good thing, but now you’re wondering, ‘Who is going to take care of me? Who is going to make sure I’m doing all of the right things for my recovery?’ ” recalled breast cancer survivor Melinda Stomp, a Bonita Springs resident.

There are holistic health retreat centers available throughout the country, including Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, on Florida’s east coast.

These centers have solid reputations for getting people back to optimal health holistically, taking a person’s entire well-being into consideration.

There is still plenty one can do without venturing that far, said Marie Winters, a Philadelphia-based naturopathic oncologist for Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

“I’m a very big believer that naturopathic or homeopathic care mostly involve your pantry at home. It’d be great for everyone to go on a 21-day retreat after treatment, but there are things you can do right at home,” said Winters, of post-treatment measures.

Eating more vegetables, sleeping at night and exercise are among the top recommendations. Emotional healing, often with a community support group, cannot be overlooked either, health care professionals and cancer survivors said.

“Nothing takes the place of someone who says ‘this is what I did.’ You really need to be with some people who have been through this. People who can say: ‘Oh. I know how that feels. I couldn’t taste anything either for three weeks,’” said Stomp, of personal support groups.

Breast-cancer-survivor communities and support groups can be found in almost every city, including Bosom Buddies in Naples, which meets regularly offering social support, tips and resources.

Herbs and remedies Herbs can aid in healing, but doctors recommend caution if taking hormone replacement therapy; it’s best to seek professional naturopathic or holistic medical advice on interactions first.

“If they’re free and clear and not on hormones, it’s much easier and they can work more liberally,” Winters said.

American ginseng is one of the best and safest ways to increase energy and can even be taken no matter what hormone modulator a person is taking, said Winters.

Diet and detoxification While, in general, naturopathic and holistic doctors highly recommended detoxification, they warn that this needs to be done after all treatments are complete.

Juice cleanses have become a common way to improve health after cancer treatments of various types.

“That’s how this all got started,” said Nicole Mariani, founder of Raw Juice Girl Delivered in Naples.

She used juice to recover from her thyroid-cancer treatments and quickly became a go-to for friends with breast cancer and other cancers, leading her to open the coldpressed organic juice delivery business in early 2014.

Despite warning stickers on nonpasteurized juices sold at places such as Whole Foods, there is low risk

About 2 grams each day significantly reduces cancerrelated fatigue, she said.

Even if still on hormone therapy, black cohosh has been helpful with hot flashes associated with treatment, said Winters.

Green tea aids in prevention and recovery; biotin has worked reliably to increase hair regrowth, along with massaging the scalp to increase blood flow; rosemary essential oil has been used traditionally to stimulate memory and mental acuity just by carrying it with you and inhaling the scent; calendula lotion, available online, at many pharmacies and retail stores, helps with dermatitis from radiation as long as there is no broken skin, Winters advised.

of a raw juice being harmful, explained Winters.

“I wouldn’t want anyone to worry that juice is going to make them sick,” Winters said.

The only time that the immune system may be so compromised as to avoid raw fruits and vegetables is the days following treatment when doctors are closely monitoring white blood cell counts.

White maitake mushrooms can also enhance immune function and increase white blood cell count, advised Winters.

Once treatment is complete, juicing is not only safe, but also recommended by many naturopathic and homeopathic doctors.

“I wouldn’t be one bit hesitant to recommend juicing to someone in recovery,” said Sheila Skrobeck, a program consultant at Hippocrates Health Institute.

A primary reason juicing is so effective is that it helps to create an alkaline and oxygen-rich environment in the body — an environment that does not allow cancer cells to thrive, said Skrobeck.

Diet is also crucial to recovery: eating vegetables and fruits — high enzyme raw foods as much as possible — while avoiding sugar, alcohol, processed foods and foods with chemicals.

Exercise As important to prevention as it is to recovery, exercise is one element that Winters said cannot be overlooked.

“Exercise helps relieve treatment-related fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, recurrence and it just makes people feel better,” she said.

Exercise contributes to increased bone density, a risk associated after treatment. The exercise should be 20 to 30 minutes daily and weight bearing — meaning using your own body weight to move, therefor including just about every exercise except swimming.

Exercise helps to improve brain fog, which is a common symptom after chemotherapy.

Specifically to breast cancer, exercise may be one of the most crucial preventive measures and the most important in aftercare, said Winters.

Exercise helps reduce circulating free hormone levels in the blood — these hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone — have less of a chance to stimulate breast cancer cell production, she said.

People often cut back on exercise when diagnosed, which is understandable with time constraints of treatment and feeling sick, but continuing exercise is recommended, if possible. After treatment, exercise could even increase and this can be done at any age, Winters said.

Sleep and other recovery tips Another element of lifestyle that is crucial to prevention and healing is sleep. Night workers are much more likely to get breast cancer and this is in part due to hormones affected by sleep cycles.

Rest should be at night, in the dark with electronics off for seven to eight hours, recommended Winters.

Other elements to aid in treatment recovery include acupuncture which has been particularly helpful with neuropathy and hot flashes, said Kim Randolph, a nurse practitioner specializing in aftercare and survivorship with Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Georgia.

The holistic aftercare can include cognitive behavioral therapy, spiritual support and support groups, Winters said.

“I think it’s vital for every person and I think it takes some people by surprise because they think the hardest part is when they’re going through the treatment. But in reality, I don’t think they have the time to fully process what is happening until the treatment has passed. Then, suddenly everything hits them,” Winters said.

This emotional element can be found in support groups, such as Bosom Buddies, and, it is well understood and addressed by Hippocrates and other institutes that take a holistic approach to mind, body and spirit.

Hippocrates uses physical therapies, including magnetic and laser therapies that remove chemicals; infrared saunas that help eliminate heavy metals and toxins; colonics; organic nutrition, and many other treatments, but they also treat the emotional, psychological and spiritual components of the healing process, said Skrobeck.

A hole in the holistic recovery options There are several programs that help to manage a person’s aftercare, but overall many health professionals and cancer survivors say resources with a holistic approach to rebuilding after chemotherapy, radiation and surgery could use improvement.

Many people do their own research and pull resources together bit by bit, said Stomp.

“There are a lot of segmented places to go. I did a lot of my own research, but the information needs to be there when you can use it, not when you read the article six months later,” Stomp said.

Health professionals acknowledge the gap.

“I think this is something we’ll begin to see addressed at medical centers across the country. I hope so,” Winters said.

Arturo’s is located at 844 Bald Eagle Dr. on Marco Island.

Arturo’s Italian Restaurant re-opens with Judy Barney at the helm

Longtime Marco Island resident Judy Barney has set the first week of November for the grand re-opening of Marco Island culinary mainstay, Arturo’s Italian Restaurant at 844 Bald Eagle Drive.

Though the Zagat, Wine Spectator and AAA Approved Arturo’s has been in business on Marco Island for almost 19 years, Barney’s role has changed from co-owner to sole proprietor of the popular restaurant.

A very familiar face to patrons, Barney has been responsible for maintaining Arturo’s public image for many years — at the restaurant and throughout the community.

With the dawn of a new era, Barney promises: “Something old, something new, but everything decadent, delicious and a little different.”

As for the menu, she says: “We are keeping our most popular menu items such as Arturo’s famous stuffed pork chop. However, we are also excited about launching new themed wine dinners and a VIP rewards program for our guests.”

In November and December, Barney also plans to experiment by offering new menu items—a process meant to encourage customers to play an active role in Arturo’s future.

Barney adds: “What has always set Arturo’s Italian Restaurant apart: our guests are truly our friends. Everyone who passes through our doors feel like family—it’s like coming home. Every hour is happy hour.”

Ramp built

The Collier Building Industry Association and 18 local businesses donated nearly $12,000 in labor, supplies, funding and volunteer support to build a wheelchair-accessible ramp for a Golden Gate family in need. The home of Anselmo and Matilde Ramirez has three entrances, but none were accessible to the wheelchair Matilde uses due to symptoms from Parkinson’s disease.

The project included installing brick pavers, adding gutters, making repairs to the home’s siding, and other general improvements. Companies involved in the service project included: All About Closets, Bassell Builders, Cordova Cleaning Services, Hancock Plumbing, Harwick Homes, Hill, Barth & King, Juniper Landscaping, KGT Remodeling, Kinetico, Monarch Builders, Perez Industries, Raymond Building Supply, Superior Interlocking Pavers, Surety Construction, Waste Management, Wellman Construction, WCI Communities, and Woodward, Pires and Lombardo. Information: CBIA.net or 239-436-6100.

Macy’s Inc. will hire more than 1,500 associates for its 12 stores and customer service center on the west coast of Florida. It’s part of its seasonal hiring nationwide. A variety of jobs are available.

Most are part-time, but some can lead to year-round positions. Applications can be found at macysJOBS.com and bloomingdalesJOBS.com. Hiring for store sales positions will begin in mid-October.

U.S. Sugar starts harvest

U.S. Sugar’s 84th annual sugarcane harvest, delayed by rain, has begun, getting off to a slow start. The Clewiston Sugar Factory began processing the first railcars of sugarcane last week. Both harvesting and processing operations will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the 2014-15 season, which is expected to go through early April.

The company said it has sold all of its 2014-15 sugar at lower prices because of a flood of subsidized Mexican imports, and will rely on volume and efficiencies during the harvesting, milling and refining process to stay profitable. U.S. Sugar and its independent growers expect to produce about 7.23 million tons of sugarcane, with approximately 6.5 million tons processed at the Clewiston factory, translating to 743,403 tons of raw sugar, this season.

People on the move

n Lou Piscitelli has joined Naples Shutter Inc. to help grow the company’s portfolio of clients in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs and Estero. He comes with a wealth of experience, having spent more than 23 years in the plantation shutter industry, with sales, management and ownership roles. n McQuaid & Company has added four realtors to its team: Pamela Maldonado,

Stephanie Stoneburner Maldonado, John Schroeder and Kimberly Zuponcic. They’re all based in McQuaid’s Bayfront office.

The new team members bring decades of combined experience.

It’s not Learning to be self-aware is one of the fair to employees if some work hard, only most important skills required in order to see the team fail due to lack of effort to be a successful executive. and proper strategy in other areas. In all

the employee surveys I have ever seen over the years, employees want to know that other departments and employees are held accountable for results. A great boss expects results and assures all team members are successful.

5. Be an excellent communicator Great bosses are not only good public speakers, they are great listeners. Listening requires being focused on the other person and giving them feedback.

Great bosses assure you feel heard and respected for your ideas. They may not use every idea you bring forward, but they listen intently. Great bosses also respond to all emails from their employees.

I’ve worked for bosses, who just because they were the boss, thought they did not need to respond to all my emails. You should respond to each and every email your employees send you. You will be respected for it.

6. Provide solid feedback Employees want to know how they are doing; this includes feedback on what they are doing right, as well as advice in how they can improve. A great boss ensures that the annual review process is taken seriously and that em-

ployees at all levels are given an annual review. One step better would be to assure that your senior management team is following up after six months to assure there are no surprises and actions outlined in the employee reviews are being addressed.

7. Provide a nudge Great bosses know when to push us to be all we can be. The bosses that I learned the most from and that drove me to achieve more knew when to give me a nudge. Just like a star athlete needs a coach, we all need someone who can push us to go farther. A great boss is there to give you that nudge when required.

Being a great boss provides more than results; it allows you to leave your mark on the world in a very positive way. By helping others achieve more, we truly learn the importance of leadership and its ability to allow others to be successful.

It just feels great

I got into a fight with a doctor

Well, even if there is more warm summer weather on the way, the recent cooler, dry temps have certainly reminded all of our friends from the north why we are here in the first place. Yes, in addition to all that paradise has Money to offer, the recent weather Talks just feels great. Let’s cross our fingers that season is WILLIAM here to stay.

HAGUE While speaking at a recent money management symposium, we discussed several strategies that can take the stress out of retired investor’s portfolios and their lives as well. Retired investors have finally begun to see the light as to where we are today, where we have been and more importantly, where we may be headed. One of the issues that face many retired investors is an issue referred to as “real rates of return.”

Like it or not, the attendees at this meeting were given a diatribe for truth in the fact that the numbers never lie and the last nearly 15 years, depending on ones perspective, have been anemic at best. Averaging a mere two percent per year over the last nearly 15 years with the potential for unlimited losses along the way is not likely the program that most retired investors thought they were signing up for.

Never mind the very real fact that with any further corrective actions in the markets, we will be staring at a negative sum game covering the last 15 years … again, not acceptable.

As the meeting progressed, it felt great to show investors, especially retired investors, that they have options available to them that can accomplish two very powerful things … make more money and pay fewer taxes.

Now, as obvious as this sounds, many simply are not aware that there are two forms of taxation in this country … one for the informed and one for the uninformed.

Taxes not withstanding, it felt great to show these investors how they can mitigate losses and in fact capture the gains from the last five years while at the same time potentially reducing their annual taxable event.

It is nothing shy of amazing how many retired investors are not even aware that their annual Social Security benefits are

Sam meekly appealed but he was worn out and sleepdeprived and besides, drug reactions are my expertise, not his.

taxed in the first place.

They learned that their provisional income dictates the amount of the benefits that are actually taxed. In other words, with proper planning and a minor adjustment here and there, some retired investors can actually cut their taxes by more than 50 percent … in fact in one case, an investors was able to cut her entire annual tax bill by 65 percent … yes, sixty 65 tax savings.

Although all may not qualify for such tremendous savings, certainly now is the time to conduct a through review and seek out year-end tax saving opportunities that may be sitting right on the surface completely unnoticed. Yet another benefit of reducing our annual taxable events is that this in turn leaves more money working for us. Yes, the power of compound interest cannot be overstated.

As we dig deeper, the system will eventually show us how tax savings can actually lead us to the promised land of making more money and paying fewer taxes.

The power of this compounding effect is where the rubber meets the road in terms of purchasing power, and after all, what more does our money represent than purchasing power.

Make more, spend less and take full advantage of what the markets give us.

Speaking of feeling great, some attendees were intrigued by the fact that they can, in fact, safely and predictably grow their life savings without any market risk. What is more impressive is looking at the long term results over any time frame. Remember, in retirement we should, generally speaking, be safer with our money. We do not need great returns to make our money last a lifetime; rather, we must avoid great losses along the way. Hey, retirement is supposed to be fun.

By avoiding losses, while capturing modest gains along the way and locking in those annual gains, gives the average retired investor the peace of mind that goes with living the life of a SWAN, Sleep Well At Night.

Scammers steal passwords from eBay shoppers

By Emily Patterson Special to The Eagle

Next time you shop on eBay, watch out for this scam.

Con artists are exploiting a vulnerability in eBay’s editing feature to redirect online shoppers to look-alike websites that can steal passwords.

How the Scam Works: You are shopping on eBay for a laptop, cellphone or other popular item, and you see a listing with a great price.

You click on it, but instead of taking you to the item’s page, it reroutes you through a series of websites. You end up at a page requesting your eBay username and password.

Don’t enter it! The site might look like eBay’s log in page, but it’s really a different website.

If you input your username and password, it will end up in the hands of scammers. This gives hackers the ability to access your account, and, if you use the same password for other websites, free pass into other accounts.

How does this happen? eBay permits sellers to use JavaScript and Flash to add design elements to their listings. But this flexibility allows scammers to add malicious code instead, a practice called cross-site scripting.

How to protect yourself from this scam: n Check the URL of the website.

Before entering your password or any other information, make sure you are on the correct website. Check the URL in the browser bar. n Look for a secure connection.

Make sure your personal information is being transmitted securely by ensuring the web address starts with “HTTPS” and has a lock icon. n Be wary of listings that look too good to be true. Be suspicious of listings that have prices significantly lower than those listed elsewhere. It could just be a ploy to get clicks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stacking the deck?

Two attorneys from the same law firm are running for seats on the East Naples fire commission. Should they both win, 40 percent of the commissioners from East Naples would be from the same law firm.\ Is that a wise decision? Would that be good, diversified representation for the citizens of East Naples?

Would that leave anyone on the commission with a fire service background?

As the Naples Daily News stated in its recent endorsement of candidates for the Big Corkscrew Island fire district, “a fire board without a career firefighter on it makes as little sense to us as a school board without a trained educator on it.”

Florida’s Sunshine Law prohibits two elected representatives on the same board from talking, outside an open meeting, to each other about any business that might come before the board.

How would that law be monitored and/or enforced with two commissioners working in the same firm on a daily basis? How could it be enforced?

If you think two lawyers from the same firm would be a possible conflict of interest, avoid that possibility: vote for Jeff Macasevich for Seat 2 and Rob Boyer for Seat 4 on Tuesday in the East Naples fire commission race.

George Danz | E ast Naples 1 for conservation Vote “Yes” on Amendment 1. It’s not a tax. It dedicates 33 percent of existing fees from real estate transactions (doc stamps) to conservation.

That’s less than 1 percent of the state budget that would be devoted to Florida’s waterways and natural areas. It would go a long way to address our environmental crisis.

Most of us get our drinking water from underground sources. Florida has a 55-inch average rainfall, yet we are urged to conserve water. In 16 years, Florida’s population will swell 20 percent. That means we must develop water sources and buy wetlands and undeveloped natural areas. Amendment 1 would provide the money, not by raising taxes, just by restoring funds to conservation programs that were cut.

Pollution kills record numbers of wildlife across Florida. In Broward County, one of the richest marine ecosystems in the United States, 280 manatees, scores of dolphins, birds and other wildlife died.

Lack of freshwater caused the loss of all the oysters in Apalachicola Bay. In Indian River Lagoon, 47,000 acres of sea grass died along with 111 manatees that suffocated by eating toxic algae blooms.

Amendment 1 assures a guaranteed stream of revenue.

It will raise up to $20 billion for water and land conservation over the next 20 years. Our economy — tourism, fishing, farming, recreation — needs clean water and wetlands. So do we, but we can move. The birds, fish, marine animals and other wildlife have no choice. Aren’t these some of the reasons that brought us to Florida?

Jeanne Findlater | N aples Ought to be a law There ought to be a law against people who say, “There ought to be a law.” Why is it that control freaks are attracted to public office? Was there a noticeable scarcity of rules and regulations that prompted nitpicking fussbudgets to think up policies to regulate people who stand on street corners holding signs?

What, code enforcement doesn’t have enough rules that have Catch-22 provisions, which make them impossible to comply with or understand?

Do government employees and elected officials have meetings to see if there is some new way to inconvenience citizens that hasn’t yet been implemented?

Somewhere I read an old axiom that said, “If enough laws are passed that are not understandable or

Donald Sunshine: Architectural water colors of Historic Goodland

Caloosahatchee River talk

The Marco Island Historical Society presents Dr. Kevin McCarthy and “Ten Little Known Facts about the Caloosahatchee River” at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 4, in the Rose History Auditorium. Members free; nonmembers, $5.

You may think you know all that there is to know about the mighty Caloosahatchee River but one may be surprised to learn it has a set of three locks that boats use to go to and from Lake Okeechobee. The river has allowed relatively new, manmade communities like Cape Coral to have hundreds of waterfront homes. The river provides drinking water and recreational facilities for Fort Myers, but flooding and excessive flow from Lake Okeechobee cause many problems.

Dr. McCarthy has had 60 books published, mostly about Florida, plus articles in scholarly and popular journals and has given over 300 talks to schools and academic groups.

PREVIEW

Corey Perrine/Staff (4)

Backstage manager Mollie Boyer laughs with cast member Mai Pucco during rehearsal inside the Rose History Auditorium at the Marco Island Historical Museum. The Island Players open their season with “Stonewall’s Bust,” a play is about a Yankee visiting his fiancee’s home in the South. He drops a precious statue of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson, then starts telling a trail of lies to cover up the damage. The show opens Thursday.

Headed South

‘Stonewalling it’ takes on new meaning at Island Theater

By Chris Silk Staff

T

he South. Home to moonlight, magnolias, kudzu, iced tea, college football and a thousand stereotypes. Find them all in new Island Theater Company comedy “Stonewall’s Bust.”

Geeky New Yorker Paul visits his fiancee’s home in the South, where there’s a museum to a Confederate general in the living room.

Marco Island favorite Joe Lang plays Paul, whose character has his own quirks: He is a “professional skeptic” and into faith healing. The action kicks off when Paul “accidentally” bumps the prized bust of legendary Civil War figure Thomas Nathan “Stonewall” Jackson.

“The lies start and go from there,” said Pat Berry, director of the comedy.

Berry joked that her cast is laughing more at themselves during rehearsal than working. “They’re driving me nuts!” she said in jest.

Karen Anglin plays Paul’s girlfriend, Nancy. And she refuses to give away anything about the plot, except to Director Pat Berry directs during rehearsal inside the Rose History Auditorium at the Marco Island Historical Museum.

say she has five costume changes and “it’s a comedy about Southern superstitions.”

Anglin, who was in previous Southern farce “Always a Bridesmaid,” said she loves the silliness and warns audiences to look for what the actors have taken to calling “the interrogation scene.”

“We’re trying to figure out who did it, if anybody did it or maybe even if it was a spiritual manifestation,” Anglin said, laughing.

“Ghosts, preachers and exorcisms,” Mai Puccio said.

“It’s a complete farce!”

Above: Joseph Lang reacts to breaking a statue during rehearsal. Right: Joseph Lang, left, and Jared Wagner laugh backstage.

IF YOU GO “Stonewall’s Bust” What: Comedy about a Yankee visiting his fiancee’s insane mother with a museum to Stonewall Jackson in the living room When: 7:30 p.m., tonight (Friday) and Saturday and Nov. 7 and 8; 2:30 p.m. Nov. 2 and 9 Where: Rose History Auditorium at the Marco Island Historical Museum, 180 S. Heathwood Drive, Marco Island Cost: $20 Information: theateronmarco.com

Veteran actress Puccio plays Liddy, whose several times- great relative carved the titular bust of the Civil War great that now rests, eventually in pieces, in the character’s living room museum.

“I play an older, genteel Southern woman.” Puccio said. “The last person I told who my character was, almost died laughing!”

Puck said Liddy is the type of character who refuses to wear hearing aids and refers to the Civil War as “The War of Northern Aggression.”

“It’s a lot of fun,” Puccio said. “All of us spend a lot of time just cracking up.”

Don’t forget the Southern cracker sheriff named “Slab.” Or the wacky housekeeper Bathsheba.

“Really. It’s not a Jean-Paul Sarte work,” Lang said. “It’s just every cliché ever written about the South.”

THE SOFT DRINK 7-UP was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda — and it contained lithium, which is now prescribed to treat manic depression. That ingredient (which continued to be part of the formula until the 1940s) probably helped spur the drink’s success, since 7-UP was introduced just before the Great Depression. The new name was derived from the size of the soda bottle (7 ounces) and “bottoms up,” which is presumably what many people did during the difficult years of the Depression.

Thought for the Day “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.”

Thomas Henry Huxley

By Samantha Weaver ■ It was Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos who made the following sage observation: “Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back.”

■ Board games date back at least 5,000 years, when people were playing on a board that looks like an ancestor to backgammon.

■ The next time you’re overwhelmed with emotion and find yourself passionately kissing your partner, you probably won’t remember that one word to describe what you’re doing is “deosculation.”

■ It was in 1958 that the first stereo phonograph record went on sale.

■ The soft drink 7-UP was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda — and it contained lithium, which is now

prescribed to treat manic depression.

That ingredient (which continued to be part of the formula until the 1940s) probably helped spur the drink’s success, since 7-UP was introduced just before the Great Depression. The new name was derived from the size of the soda bottle (7 ounces) and “bottoms up,” which is presumably what many people did during the difficult years of the Depression.

■ A man in Orange County, California, stole a diamond worth $25,000 and, despite being arrested for the crime, was able to smuggle it into prison with him by swallowing it. He then managed to hide the gem in a shower drain in hopes of retrieving and swallowing it again before his release. All that effort was in vain, however; prison guards found the diamond and returned it to the jewelry shop.

■ If you’re using an average brand-new pencil, you’ll be able to draw a line about 35 miles long before running out of lead (though you’ll have to stop for sharpening breaks, of course).

City committees ‘In The Round’

Wine and food

It took years for Bud to learn …

I had a bit of a hard time with “Falling from Horses” at first. It’s slow, and moseys a little too much; in fact, I almost quit it twice.

But then, after 30 pages or so, I gasped at one of author Molly Gloss’s small plot lines. My “awwww” response was on high, and I realized that I was completely wrapped up in what’s ultimately a quiet novel of friendship and haunting memories.

The kicker is in the way that Gloss ekes out her back story. Through that, we get to know characters that are integral to the tale but that barely make an appearance in it. Those glimpses were my favorite part here because they act to smooth out the edges of the rest of the novel. And no, I can’t tell you more.

Again, this book starts slow but stick with it. It’s worth it in the end, especially if you like old movies, old cowboys, or gentle tales. For you, “Falling from Horses” could be all you wish for.

“Belches, Burps, and Farts — Oh My!”

By Artie Bennett, illustrations by Pranas T. Naujokaitis c. 2014, Blue Apple Books $17.99/$19.99 Canada; 40 pages

Have you ever noticed how some words are like magic? Say “please” some time and see what happens. You might be surprised!

“Thank you” is pretty amazing, and so is “I’m sorry.” “Excuse me” is also really good. Those last two are Magic Words you’ll need when you’ve got “Belches, Burps, and Farts — Oh My!” by Artie Bennett, illustrated by Pranas T. Naujokaitis in your hands.

If you’ve been paying attention your whole life, you know that sneezes and sighs aren’t the only sounds your body makes: you also make sounds from your mouth and … the other end.

Even babies know that burps feel good sometimes because they get rid of uncomfortable built-up gases. Drink a soda or talk too much while you’re eating and you’ll want to burp or belch, too. Did you know, by the way, that there’s a difference between a burp and a belch? Did you know that if you burp at the end of a meal in China, it means you enjoyed your meal?

Did you know that you can’t burp when you’re lying on your back? Go ahead and try!

When the gas inside your body gets past a certain point, it will “exit farther south.” If you try to hold back a belch, it will eventually just become something else.

And you’re not alone because “every living person farts.” Your mom, your teacher, your neighbor, your grandpa — and they do it all the time! It’s perfectly natural — even most (but not all) animals

do it. Take, for instance, cows. They burp a lot — and they fart quite a bit, too. If you could save all the methane from a few cows’ farts, that gas could heat a small house for a whole year!

But guess what — a tiny little critter can “out-fart” even an elephant!

Here’s how farts happen: hold onto a belch or munch on certain kinds of foods and the microbes in your belly make gas.

Mix it with sulfur and pee-eeeuw — on average, 14 times a day. Farts “escape” at night while you’re sleeping, when you’re running, when you’re playing, or you’re just sitting. They sneak out when you don’t want them to and Oops! Excuse me!

No doubt about it: having kids can be a real gas. And if yours are at the right age, then “Belches, Burps, and Farts — Oh My!” will be the right book.

But don’t think that this book is only filled with gratuitous farts-are-funny pages. Yes, there’s that in here, but author Artie Bennett also aims to inform by using a rhyme about bodily sounds and end-of-book information with further facts. Kids who read this book will learn a thing or two about biology, and they’ll be delighted by the accompanying giggle-making illustrations from Pranas T. Naujokaitis.

I think this book is especially perfect for boys ages 3-to-8 but, of course, girls can enjoy it and so can adults with a good sense of humor. Give them “Belches, Burps, and Farts — Oh My!” and they’ll love every stinkin’ page.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

She has been reading since she was 3-yearsold and never goes anywhere without a book. Terri lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

WORD WARP ANSWERS (TOP TO BOTTOM)

ANSWER 1 COTTON ANSWER 2 JOHN ANSWER 3 HALLOWEEN ANSWER 4 CANDY

In today’s cautionary tale, a correspondent wrote to me to say that sometimes in a teams match, you may think you have done well on a particular board, but overlook the problems your teammates may have had in the other room.

South was pleased with his result in the following deal ... until it was scored up!

Against four spades, West led her singleton diamond, which declarer won. She then ran the spade jack, which held (as the cards lay, it would not have helped West to cover). She followed this with four rounds of clubs, discarding both hearts from hand. Then she ruffed a heart and played a diamond. West discarded a heart and East won with the king. In the five-card ending, it did not matter whether East played a diamond or a heart.

At the table, she played the diamond five. Declarer inserted the seven, West ruffed in with the nine, and dummy overruffed. Declarer then ruffed another heart to hand and played his last diamond. Whether West ruffed in with the queen or ruffed low, South had to make two more tricks.

Contract made, but at the other table, East opened one diamond, South overcalled one spade and North raised straight to four spades. How could East not take another bid? She bid four notrump to show her two-suiter, correcting five clubs to five diamonds. West ended up conceding 1,100 in five hearts doubled, and my correspondent finished up losing heavily on the board.

ANSWER: Whether or not one plays a new suit as forcing in response to a one-level overcall, one should play new suits by an unpassed hand as forcing in response to a two-level overcall, or in response to partner’s overcall of a pre-emptive opening bid. Otherwise, it is impossible to bid constructively in positions like this, where a simple response of three spades keeps all the options open.

Rice Krispies Treats with bourbon caramel glaze.

Tasty Treat A salty caramel makeover for Rice Krispies Treats

By Elizabeth Karmel Associated Press

To be honest, I had no idea about Rice Krispies Treats.

That is, I certainly knew of them, but I’d never made them. And I never knew just how delicious they could be.

The first time I made them, I used the original recipe.

It was good, but I felt it needed a little more... something.

So I made a batch of my favorite caramel sauce and decided to see what would happen if I dumped some of that in along with the usual butter and marshmallows.

It made all the difference.

The treats were great and made me think of fall, of caramel apples and Halloween. And so I decided to take my improved treats even further, adding a caramel bourbon glaze. Because who says all Halloween treats have to be for the kids? And then I just kept going... Next I added a sprinkle of coarse sea salt to the caramel topping and candy corns. I was in love.

Of course, if you feel the need to share these with the kids, you can always leave out the bourbon, or use bourbon extract instead. And either way, don’t feel you need to limit yourself to the candy corn on top. Have at it with any — or all — of your favorite Halloween candy.

It is a holiday of indulgence, after all.

● Start by making the caramel sauce. Remove the label from can of sweetened condensed milk, but do not open the can. Place the can in an 8-quart heavy-duty saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 2½ hours. Check the pan regularly during this process, adding water as needed to maintain the level. ● Using tongs and an oven mitt, carefully remove the can from the pan and set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, proceed with the rest of the recipe. ● To make the glaze, in a large bowl, combine the butter, vanilla, salt, half-and-half and bourbon, if using. Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture is creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Once the can of caramel has cooled, carefully open it. Pour half of it into the butter mixture and beat until well mixed. Set aside. ● To make the bars, coat a 13-by-9-inch pan with butter.

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the ¼ cup of butter on high for 30 seconds, or until melted. Add the marshmallows and toss to coat with the butter.

Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Add the remaining

RICE KRISPIES TREATS WITH BOURBON CARAMEL GLAZE Start to finish: 3 hours (20 minutes active).

Makes 24 bars.

For the caramel sauce: 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk For the bourbon caramel glaze: ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1 overflowing teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons half-and-half 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional) 2¾ cups powdered sugar For the bars: ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan 10-ounce package marshmallows 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal Coarse sea salt 1 cup candy corn

The American Table is written by Karmel, who is a grilling and Southern foods expert and executive chef at Hill Country Barbecue Market restaurants in New York and Washington, as well as Hill Country Chicken in New York.

half can of caramel and stir until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated. ● Using wet hands, gently press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon the glaze over the cereal mixture, smoothing it as needed. Sprinkle the top with a bit of sea salt, then scatter the candy corns evenly over the surface, gently pressing them into the glaze. Set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes. To serve, cut into 2-inch squares.

As we age, we notice our bodies and minds may not be as quick as they once were. Luckily for humans, we are able to voice problems and pains and seek the medical attention we need; our dogs are not so lucky.

While “Doggie Dementia” or canine cognitive disease does exist, Dr. Daniel Hicks, a veterinary neurologist and clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says the changes in your dogs behavior may be explained by other medical conditions.

“Many times what is thought to be dementia is actually connected to a larger scale problem such as a tumor, infection, or stroke,” explains Hicks. Hicks states that subtle signs such as the loss of potty training, deviation from normal behavioral patterns, and changes in food preferences, appetite, or sleep patterns might be the result of an underlying neurological disorder.

“An example of behavioral pattern changes in dogs could be that you have let your dog out the back door for the past 10 years, and all the sudden they are going to the front door instead,” explains Hicks.

“Changes in food preferences and signs that they are eating and sleeping much more or less can potentially be caused by a problem in their nervous system.”

These subtle signs may be early indicators of illnesses that can be difficult to recognize for pet owners. “Often dogs are brought to us after displaying obvious signs such as seizures, “circling,” a term that refers to when animals pace in circles, vision deficits such as running into walls, and “head pressing” which is when an animal presses their head against a wall or an object for no apparent reason,” notes Hicks.

It is important to remember that not all dogs will display all the signs, but if you notice your pet behaving oddly take them to your veterinarian for an evaluation.

They can look for common disorders that might help explain what is going on with your pet.

“Preliminary evaluations and routine testing, can often find obvious problems,”

states Hicks. “Routine testing can include a physical examination, blood work, and urine samples, and help to diagnose diseases such as diabetes, thyroid problems, arthritis, some forms of cancer, or infections.”

If initial test results do not explain the cause for your pet’s abnormal behavior, or if the results suggest additional information is required, the next step may be to see a specialist. Your veterinarian can refer you to a veterinary neurologist who can help determine what the problem is.

“A focused neurological examination begins with another hands-on assessment,” explains Hicks. “If there is concern that the problem stems from the brain we can sample spinal fluid, test for various diseases, and get a MRI scan to get a better look at the problem.”

“The most important thing to remember when dealing with a pet’s problem is to be aware of options,” advises Hicks.

“Knowing that advanced diagnostic tests and treatments are available helps guide people regarding the most appropriate level of care for their pet.”

Depending on the test results and ultimately, the diagnosis, there can be many different treatment options. The symptoms can be the same for a large number of diseases. Hicks suggests that pursuing a diagnosis early on in the course of illness usually aids in more successful treatment outcomes.

“Some diseases once thought to be untreatable may now be very treatable,” notes Hicks. “This includes, some forms of cancer, strokes, and head trauma.. For instance, cancer therapy has evolved to include sophisticated chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, which has lead to higher survival rates.”

Whether your pet is suffering from a known illness or a case of “Doggie Dementia,” it is important to have them evaluated so appropriate therapy may be instituted.

YMCA offers new fitness classes

taying fit and healthy are at the heart of programs and classes sponsored by the Greater Marco Family YMCA and with that in mind the Y is now happy to offer two new fitness classes and a workout and weight loss program. Both YMCA members and nonmembers in the community are encouraged to join the classes.

Lose Your Marbles is a new workout and weight loss program that runs from Oct. 25 until Dec. 20 during the months leading up to the holiday season. The program, which is guided by a personal trainer for safe and effective results, begins with members setting healthy goals that are evaluated weekly. The name Lose Your Marbles refers to the jar of marbles that the individual receives at the outset. After completing an exercise session, a marble is removed from the jar to reflect the achievement with the goal of eventually pulling out, or losing, all of the marbles.

“We’re starting before the feast days to help people get ready for a period resulting in interrupted exercise routines and weight gain,” said YMCA Healthy Living Director Deborah Passero, who will be supervising the program. “We want to help put good habits in place before it becomes hectic. It’s free to members. Just sign up at the front desk and I’ll contact you. We will determine personal goals when we talk and establish an honor reward system. Participants can get advice and encouragement by contacting me.

This is a stress-free program running before the real stress of the season begins. It’s a time to prepare for all the fun of parties and eating.”

In addition to exercise, the program also focuses on healthy lifestyle choices in the kitchen. Weekly health tips and recipes will also be distributed as a means to encourage healthy eating and proper nutrition throughout the process.

The YMCA is also reintroducing TRX classes. The classes are being held at 7 a.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, under the lighted TIKI hut outside near the pool and at 6:45 p.m., Mondays in the gymnasium. The TRX is an exercise system developed by a Navy SEAL, who wanted to get a full body workout on location. With the use of lightweight suspension gear, consisting of three nylon straps attached to a clip, members will be led through exercises for the entire body that use all the muscle groups simultaneously. The straps hang down from above to provide suspension exercise.

“It’s adaptable to all fitness levels,” said Passero, who uses a TRX system at home. “I bought mine 10 years ago when I saw it being demonstrated at the Chicago Fitness Expo. People were doing the suspension training at the Expo and then they invited the audience to try it.

I did and I realized that it was a great way to get a total workout. Our personal trainers are experts at core and body movements from being trained in the fitness center cable system and they are able and equipped to share that knowledge in the TRX classes.”

“

My goal is to always keep people coming back for more by varying the workout with different types of circuit training, or sets” — Eden Looney, tennis instructor

TM

Exercising the core with the TRX system requires the use of all muscle groups and results in an improvement in metabolism that leads to fat burning and muscle building.

“With the realization of the importance of core workouts, everyone should be practicing some form of core workout that combines strength, cardio and core,” said Passero, who also teaches fitness classes at the YMCA. “TRX is a really fun social exercise. The instructors can be creative with the positions they use and can modify the workouts to fit the needs of the class members.

Comfortable fitness clothes and gym shoes are recommended for the workout. Water bottles are encouraged for the built-in breaks that occur during transitioning from one position to another.

TRX classes cost $35 for 5 classes, or $10 drop in for YMCA members. Community participants pay $50 for 5 classes, or a $15 fee that includes a day pass on the day of the class.

Another exciting fitness program, Tennis Conditioning, is being reintroduced at the YMCA beginning Oct. 29. The free class will be held in the gymnasium at 7 p.m., Wednesdays, and 11:30 a.m., Thursdays. Using a unique workout method, instructor Eden Looney incorporates specialized tennis movements with flexibility circuit training and exercises designed to improve balance and endurance. The program she created is enhanced by music and dance moves including some with a tennis racket in hand.

Eden is uniquely qualified to lead the program because of her background as a ranked tennis player and as an actor, who might be recognized her from roles on VH1 television and in movies.

“My goal is to always keep people coming back for more by varying the workout with different types of circuit training, or sets,” said Eden, who grew up playing tennis in California, where she was ranked No. 1 as a doubles player in high school and again later in the state when she played Division 1 colleges as a member of the Grossmont College tennis team in San Diego. “It takes a lot of training and discipline to succeed in any sport. The Tennis Conditioning class is designed to provide that along with fun elements like dance and movement. There’ll be some footwork and resistance training with bands and ropes to strengthen the long lean muscles that are so important in tennis while protecting the joints. Non-tennis players might also want to join us, because it’s a good way to trim down instead of bulking up from exercise.”

Eden welcomes all ages from 7 to the most mature members. Racquets are available for the class free of charge. Nonmembers can attend the class with the purchase of a $10 day pass from the front membership desk at the Greater Marco Family YMCA, 101 Sand Hill Street, Marco Island.

Lely wins

regional quarterfinal for Alyssa Johnson

By Ryan Toohey Staff

Lisa Meurgue/Special to the Eagle

The Lely High School girls vollyball team huddle together for one final cheer before the start of the 5A regional quarterfinal against Lemon Bay on Wednesday. Lely won in a three-set victory — 25-19, 25-12, 25-21. Lely faces Sebring in the regional semifinal on Tuesday at home.

The Lely High School volleyball team rallied in support of one of its players during the 5A regional quarterfinal on Wednesday.

Alyssa Johnson, a starting senior for the Trojans, did not suit up for the playoff match after facing a family tragedy on Wednesday morning. Her teammates wore their emotions on their sleeves in a three-set victory — 25-19, 25-12, 25-21 — over Lemon Bay. “Her mother passed away this morning; that was a big fire underneath our backsides this evening. We were playing in honor of her,” Lely coach Lindsey Hardley said. “(Alyssa) missed our district finals last week when her mom had brain surgery. It was a huge kicker for us to try and support our teammate and family. Hopefully, she can join us next week if she is ready to play.”

Despite a home playoff match looming hours away, Hardley pushed sports aside for a moment. She held a team meeting to inform her players of the news.

“At that moment, volleyball wasn’t on my mind. My players needed me and we needed each other,” the first-year coach said.

“Once we went into the gym. They were hooting and hollering their little cheers.

I saw a different side of them tonight. We were here to take care of business.”

The Trojans pulled together to focus

on winning one of their most important matches of the season in honor of their teammate.

The match seemed all too familiar, as the Lely and Lemon Bay also met in the regional quarterfinals last season; Lely ran away with that match in four sets.

Lemon Bay coach Stacy Dewolfe said the team tried to adjust from last year’s shortcomings against Lely. However, the new strategy still faltered.

“Usually, our problem at Lely is that our hits won’t go down,” she said. “This year our hitting was going down, but our passing was off.”

The teams battled back and forth early, but Lely quickly settled down and took control. The Trojans won a close first set, and they showed their dominance with a 25-12 victory in the second.

Lemon Bay took several brief leads in the final set, which included two fourpoint runs, but Lely had a late five-point run to help close out the match.

The Lemon Bay third-set comeback didn’t leave many concerns for Hardley.

She said the team will now focus on Sebring, which Lely will face in the regional semifinal at home on Tuesday.

“We finished it, and that’s where the leadership piece comes in,” Hardley said.

“That’s what happened to us (in the district championship last week) against Golden Gate. Each time we finish it in the third set, it gives us more confidence. We are all about moving forward.”

“At that moment, volleyball wasn’t on my mind. My players needed me and we needed each other. Once we went into the gym, they were hooting and hollering their little cheers. I saw a different side of them tonight. We were here to take care of business.”

— Lindsey Hardley, Lely vollyball coach

I turned off the ignition. Again, as calmly as possible, I voiced my displeasure at his intentions and went over the “generally accepted protocols” in play here in Southwest Florida.

“Louie, you’re right, you can fish any location that you’d like but it’s part of a quasi “honor code” that you don’t hijack someone else’s spot especially since it was part of an instructional lesson. If that’s what you intend to do today, this trip is over and we’re going right home.”

Louie was embarrassed and apologized. “Just wanted to learn the best spots to fish. Sorry. I’ll put the chart away.”

I responded. “No, keep the chart out and I’ll teach you how to find your own spots.”

We then went over the detail factors in backwater fishing as we sat anchored along the Addison Bay edges. We talked about the importance of tides and there would different spots on incoming vs. outgoing. We discussed water clarity and species that would like clear and those that would prefer stained water.

We discussed lots of differences between the salt water and his fishing the fresh water lakes.

We had a couple of hours left and I challenged him to find his own “spots.” We would encircle Addison Bay and he would look for mangrove points with good current and structure and that looked “fishy” and we would give them a try.

We crisscrossed the Bay several times until he finally pointed out a spot on the

shoreline with mangrove branches extending into the water. “Over there. Right in close to the brush.”

We anchored up and freelined a hefty shrimp right up under the overhanging branches. We both waited in dead silence.

And we waited. Nothing.

I asked what he thought.

“There is good structure here and the edges are shaded” Louie responded.

“What about the current flow, Louie.”

We were at mid tide on a good tide day and the current should be running strong.

The water in the spot we had chosen was barely moving.

“Do you spot any faster water, Louie,” I asked.

He pointed over to the other side of the nearby creek and instructed “Let’s move over there.”

We did. And it worked. We caught nice snapper and a few small snook right away.

His grimace was replaced with a half smile. He had found a fishing spot. Yeah!

Afterward we talked about his learning process and that now he was equipped to find his own fishing spots. He didn’t have to rely in pilfering other spots.

As he left, he was positive about what he had learned and as a parting shot gave me a “better not find you fishing on my new fishing spot, Captain.
