LETTER FROM THE

- Art Directors

EDITOR Dear Friend,

Qistina Hullon John Santo

Autumn is the best season to celebrate the harvest and give thanks to mother Earth. In every culture around the world, fall is the into the new.

Because October is breast cancer awareness month, I want to share my experience with much about breast cancer prior to being diagnosed and going through surgery. From positive attitude, remain strong and assume the situation for what it was. I'm convinced Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It’s an ideal time to celebrate in our Sanford community all the fun festivities of Halloween, Oktoberfest, and Thanksgiving. We invite you to enjoy the magical season and fall in love with our Historic Downtown.

The 28th Annual

Holiday Tour of Homes

TAMMY AGNINI

This year, the 28th annual Holiday Tour of Homes is going back to its roots. The inaugural Tour was a one-day event, showcasing some of the best homes in what was then still a blighted residential neighborhood. Although Sanford has always had beautiful neighborhoods, many homes in what is now the Historic District were run down - chopped up into tiny apartments, drug dens, abandoned and unkempt.

Tammy Agnini is co-chairing the Holiday Tour of Homes for the second time. In addition to working full time as a a healthcare benefits consultant, Tammy also serves on the City of Sanford's Historic Preservation Board. She enjoys spending time with her family - husband Jeb and their two little girls - Sloane, 4 and Sawyer, 10 months

Today, downtown Sanford is known for its charm and character – which is mainly due to those who believed in and supported the mission of the Sanford Historic Trust. One of the main goals of this year’s Tour is toshowcase the other historic neighborhoods that hav r, but happen to be outside of the residential historic district. The Tour brings so many people to

Sanford every holiday season, and this is a our beautiful city. Several of Sanford’s newest citizens began as Home Tour guests – they were so enamored with Sanford that they were inspired to sell their homes and move here!

The 2016 Tour of Homes will be Saturday December 3rd from 11 – 4pm. It will be a self-guided driving tour with clusters of stops, featuring holiday entertainment. Tour guests are encouraged to enjoy either lunch or dinner at some of our great downtown restaurants.

Christmas cookies and other refreshments may be available at selected Tour stops.

Attending the Tour supports the Sanford Historic Trust and its mission to evaluate, protect, and preserve the architectural and historical heritage of the city through out days before the event, so don’t wait to get yours! visit https://sanfordhistorictrust.wildapricot.org/ for more information Be sure to follow our event page: (via https://www.facebook.com/SanfordHistoricTrust/) on Facebook for frequent updates!

A Touch of

HISTORY

CHRISTINE DALTON

about the history of buildings and sites in the historic downtown. When a town is over 140 years old, there are definitely stories to be told! Below is just a sampling of some lesser known historical facts about our treasured past. To learn more about Sanford’s rich history, look for the Pathways to History tour brochures at the Historic Sanford Welcome Center or Sanford City Hall.

1. The Clock – Magnolia Square The clock is at the center of downtown and to the downtown. The clock has had an interesting journey through the years. It was originally on the corner of the First National Bank Building No. 1, located at 101 W. 1st Street. The clock was moved to the intersection of 1st Street and Park From there, it moved to the Elk’s Lodge at 1006 E. 2nd Street before it was moved one more time to the current location in Magnolia Square.

2. “Ghosts” – Old Mural Advertisements “Ghost Signs” are old advertisements in historic areas that have faded over time and are barely visible. Several ghost signs exist in Sanford’s historic downtown. One is located on the west wall of 307 E. 2nd Street. Look closely and you can see the outlines of an advertisement for a famous Another ghost sign exists on the south wall of 202-204 S. Sanford Avenue for a hardware company. Are you able to see the name? Other signs like this can be found downtown, you just have to keep your eyes open!

downtown building became condemned in 1928, the City of Sanford hired well-known architect Elton Moughton to modify and save the structure. The design eliminated the third story, but saved the building from demolition.

The building has served as a private commercial space, City Hall, Police Station, and Jail. Located at 109 S. Palmetto Avenue, it’s referred to locally as “The Firehouse”.

4. Sanford Museum – Building in a Building Located at 520 E. 1st Street, the Sanford Museum is the place to go if you’re researching the history of a Sanford property or would like to learn more about the city’s development. When you enter the front doors, you will see beautiful white columns and a building wall. That is not a reconstruction but rather the original walls of the first Sanford Museum, constructed in 1957. When growth of museum archives forced the expansion of the museum, a new museum was built around it rather than demolish the original structure.

5. The Steeple – Downtown Gateway At the northeast corner of 6th Street and Sanford Avenue is a structure that appears to look like a church steeple. This feature was constructed in 2014 to act as a landmark for travelers arriving to the downtown from south Sanford Avenue. It marks the beginning of the downtown commercial area. The steeple pays homage to the historic churches that played a pivotal role in shaping Georgetown’s history.

“It’s exciting because I feel like a lot of up-and-coming things are happening. I feel like for a long time it’s kind of on the fringes of something happening and now I feel like a lot of people are coming in. It’s like it’s going to blow up.”

She calls Rabbitfoot her second home, and the owner, Kendra Wallace, has been waiting to feature Billingsley’s work. “Priscilla

I’ve seen a few pieces of hers around Sanford and I loved it. I had no idea this was going to be what it is; I mean it’s just absolutely awesome.”

Gallery on First – “Heat Wave”: Gallery on First is multiple studio spaces created for artists to showcase their work individually. This month’s theme for the Art Work is the “Heat Wave.” Artist Jennifer Lindquist explains, “This

is the first art walk in August Sanford has ever had. And the reason why there’s never been one is because it’s too darn hot. Therefore, the theme was Heat Wave! Each artist made a fan because we are all fans of the art.”

Madison Taylor, 11, traveled from Lake Nona with her mother, and sat at the front table of the gallery creating her

fan. Artist Tom Abbott says they want to increase the art walk, getting more customers involved in the process of

making the art. They plan to do pumpkins in October, having the community carve and place them all around First Street.

The Annex – “The Love of Photography” with James Wright Jr.: James Wright Jr. has been photographing since the early 1980s, and formerly worked for the Sanford Herald. He has traveled all around the world to capture images of the world’s most beautiful places. He says of his opportunity to travel: “With photography, you can’t stop if it’s

One of his sisters, Stephanie Wright, welcomed guests into The Annex with an extremely bright and supportive smile. “When my brother got his first camera and started working for the Sanford Herald, my sister and I were his first subjects. We’d go to the environmental center and he’d photograph us. We’ve been with him since the beginning . . . He’s got a lot of pieces and we just want him to share them.”

and that it sells a lot, and above all else, it’s a lot of fun. She smiled as she talked about how it felt to be among just a few other artists, and talks about how much she wants to move back to town. “It’s growing a lot. I prefer to come out to Sanford usually. It’s more chill.

Having been at it for nearly 20 years, Taylor expresses that this was definitely a goal of hers—to be recognized on such a large platform. She knows many people in Sanford and the community.

Brenda Boland has frequented the gallery ever since she moved to Sanford four years ago. She attended the event with her friend Peggy West, who is a new Sanfordite.

A LOCAL GALLERY HIGHLIGHTED IN A

NATIONAL MAGAZINE NIKKI NAMDAR Jeanine Taylor’s folk art gallery was recently featured in Where Women Create, a publication that commemorates creative women and spotlights their unique workspaces. This is the first time her gallery has been highlighted in a national magazine.

With choppy blonde hair, leopard-print specs and a retro cottage dress, Taylor gushes about how she was honored with the opportunity to be featured in the magazine. “They did a beautiful job capturing what I’ve done over the last 19 years. I never dreamed that I’d get six pages.”

Jen O’Connor, the writer of the article raved about the studio and its owner. “My understanding of what Jeanine does to cultivate artists and provide a valuable venue for their work warrants attention,” O’Connor said. “I was thrilled to feature her special approach to marketing and promotion within her gallery. She is not just selling art within those walls; she is creating small business, promoting the tradition of Southern folk art and celebrating the unique beauty of Sanford.”

Although she is not an artist herself, Taylor states she “fosters creativity.” She describes the artists she helps and features as her little babies. “I nurture artists. I help them with their careers.”

At the magazine-signing event on Aug. 6, many people paid tribute to the woman who helped their careers grow.

Some even admitted they doubted Taylor’s 7

success in Sanford. One artist stood with Taylor, put her arm around her, and said, “Sanford wasn’t the best place for art. She just opened up doors and I am so glad she is here. She proved me wrong and I am so happy she did.”

Born in Miami, Taylor had deep southern roots and a fascination with that lifestyle.

She and her family rode in their station wagon every summer to Louisiana, where her grandmother resided. The Southern style inspired Taylor’s choice to open a sanctuary for artists and consumers that is filled with contemporary folk art.

West said the community is so fortunate to have such a vibrant place that sparks so much creativity into people. “I was overwhelmed with the formality of the place that it brings so much life and vigor into this little town that I treasure,” she said.

“I am so happy I found this town. It’s alive.

Jeanine is so special to have brought this here. Sanford is so very lucky to have it. I think it inspires. You can’t just make one visit. You have to come again and again and again. And every time you do, you see something new. You go home thinking, I could do that, or maybe I should try that.

And it does bring out the creativity in you.”

Both Boland and West agree that being recognized in a national magazine is exactly what Jeanine, her gallery and Sanford deserves.

“It shows everyone else what’s possible,” Boland said. “It’s like her favorite saying, ‘Never, never, never, never give up.’ It shows what hard work does.”

“I just love the mannerisms, politeness, food, and always giving guests the best that

West added: “This magazine and this article to the nation just says, ‘Come on down!”

adding that is what her gallery is all about.

At the event, celebratory champagne, homemade cakes and cups of coconut-orange juice were provided to guests—a display of the owner’s incomparable warmth and hospitality.

Jeanine, in the ambitious way in which so many honor her for, expresses, “This is just the beginning.”

The success of the gallery has been growing rapidly. One of the gallery’s artists Darlene Allen said that on her art travels, people across the country know about the gallery.

All would have agreed that Jeanine and her gallery are finally getting the recognition she deserves.

Allen’s voice cracked and eyes watered when spoke of Jeanine and the community she created through her venue. “That’s how I think you should live life: caring about each other, working together, promoting each other. And she lives that. It’s not

BRAVO BRAV AVO AV VO

TO SANFORD Sergio Ureña and Keila Garcia were two 20-something siblings who moved away from their family in Queens, New York to open a Bravo supermarket in Deltona 12 years ago. Four years later in 2008, they moved their business to our city and found their biggest success. Their mission? “To provide the Latino community, as well the American, products that are only available in our countries, or the Caribbean, or the Islands,” Ureña said.

The brother-and-sister duo wanted to create a neighborhood store with a family-oriented feel. They have come to know their customers not as friends, but as family. They recognize each other. They relate to each other. They understand each other.

Dominicans, they say, welcome you with warmth.

“It’s a place where you come and talk. We have customers that come in to chat. We provide a place where you can be heard,” Ureña said of the friendly faces that frequent the store. “For example, I have this one customer who is a Vietnam vet. He is very special to us. He comes in a wheelchair and he spends hours at customer service talking about his life and background, and stories about the war and his family. It’s people like him who we are proud to be friends with. We value their business and friendship.”

His sister Keila wants to let people know that all cultures and communities can shop at their Bravo.

“We are trying to provide the best products and make it known incomparable prices. “That’s what we have in our mind. We give the people the best that we have.”

Having been in Sanford since 2008, they watched Sanford go from a little to a lot in just a few years. They are noticing more and more Latinos from Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala and more, becoming residents of the city. Garcia noted that she is seeing diversity disperse throughout the town. They are growing with Sanford, she said, as it “changes for the best.” With the wholesome values, unrivaled products and distinguished graciousness they have instilled in Sanford, they are a powerful force in progress. Garcia discussed how good it felt to be a part of that transformation. She believes the town is making a great attempt to grow into something grand. They are, too.

“We are open for any culture that wants to come in,” she said. “We make them feel like a family, not like a regular customer. But they can see how friendly we are. We are trying to make them feel that this is a warm place for them.” Warm like the Dominican Republic.

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT NIKKI NAMDAR

Sanford’s Sizzling El Paso Grill Wins Best Mexican Cuisine

El Paso Mexican Grill was voted the best Mexican restaurant in Sanford by the city’s residents. This family-owned chain restaurant with sombreros on the walls and merengue playing has genuine cuisine that will make you feel like you’re in Mexico. The owner of the Sanford location, Betty Gilmore, left her family in Louisiana to open the location right here all by herself. “God told us to get to Florida . . . We took a risk. It was God who opened it for us,� she said.

She says all the hard work paid off knowing that the city is happy. “People are beautiful.

They’re nice. We are trying to enjoy Florida, to have friends, to help our community. We are like family. We are family. So when they visit this restaurant, the first thing we want is for them to feel at home. They are really special to us,� Gilmore said.

Hailing from Jalisco, Mexico, Gilmore made sure to create a from-scratch kitchen that has one-of-a-kind recipes handed down from her great grandparents. Furthermore, the chefs were hired from Mexico’s culinary schools, so the ingredients and flavors are delivered with authenticity of the highest stature, right from the native country. Plus, the meals can be customized to cater to most diets and lifestyles—from vegetarian to gluten-free.

EXPLORING SANFORD:

BEST “MAYBERRY” NANC Y GROVES

Thinking about Sanford, and how I, got here brought me to the realization that I would come on Sunday mornings to Christo’s for breakfast and then walk all around downtown.

At that time, there were antique stores galore…and The Willow Tree. Lisa Porzig showed me a few places for sale. I back in 2004.

Fast forward to today, and I am still learning about wonderful places here in Sanford, such as the Bettye Smith Cultural Arts Center, located on the corner of Oak and 5th Street. Did you know it was designed by Sanford architect Elton J. Moughten, and it was the original Sanford Library?

Check out the larger palladium window on the south end of the building, which was built prior to electricity so the over-sized window could allow for light to come through for those who were reading. I am a history junkie, so I love knowing fun facts! Next time you need a venue for a party or event consider this beautiful building.

I am very proud to boast about our thriving Historic Area and Downtown shopping district. So many places try to duplicate Sanford -- for example, Baldwin Park, Celebration – but those are imitators. We are the “real deal.” We have our own marshmallow company, comic book store, Maya’s bookstore, where you can sit and read or just hide out from the world. There are art galleries, art walks, and art festivals -- St. John’s Festival comes to mind, which is growing in popularity with every year. If you are an artist or just appreciate art, like myself, there is something to capture your imagination. Of course we now are going to be a destination for micro-breweries too. Our waterfront boardwalk and the water park for kids at Ft. Mellon Park have expanded the outdoor fun. We have a long-standing baseball history and our own 2000-seat stadium.

Sanford is also a diverse population and in recent times our diversity was tested. The good people of the community stood together, and although it was a very painful time, it is my belief it made us stronger and positive changes have come from a tragedy.

Sanford is a “Mayberry,” a small community where everybody knows your name. I like that, and am always pleased when my neighbors honk or wave just to say “hi” when they go by. I moved here from large metropolitan cities -- Washington D.C., Cleveland, Mexico City -- where

blending into the crowd was the norm. On cool days, I love eating my lunch in the park, and watching the birds do their thing. We have so many parks and I am on a quest to visit them all.

Explore Sanford for yourself -- it is fun to learn new places and facts about where we live. If you are in the neighborbehind Tony’s Deli. Look for the rocking chair at our door and come on in – We are the proud sponsor of Shred Fest and would love to see you!

CITIZEN’S CITIZEN’S ACADEMY ACADEMY CITY OF SANFORD LISA HOLDER

Local government is government closest to the people, it’s where the “rubber meets the road.” This local turf of the public sector industry is accessible and thrives on citizen engagement. Couple that with the opportunity to educate the citizenry and you have a magical formula that equals the Citizens Academy squared.

City Hall’s doors are always open, welcome and accommodating. But what really goes on behind the scenes? How are your tax dollars being utilized? Who are the faces behind the department titles, Public Works, Utilities, Building, Planning, etc.? What’s the City’s annual budget? Who manages the city of Sanford?

Citizens who are knowledgeable become advocates for local government and

understand why there are policies, ordinances created and processes set in place that may seem tedious and cumbersome at times; but in the long run, provide the structure and guidance for your city’s decisions, ultimately delivering a sound product, a safe city, programs, services, events for our residents and visitors to enjoy.

You will also learn first-hand, the current growth and economic development factors that will soon catapult Sanford to a whole other level.

The word government and machine are sometimes used in the same sentence. Learn who the heart-beat of city government is.

There are over 500 hard-working, dedicated employees whose main goal is to proudly

serve our residents. Providing roadways that are easy to navigate and drive on, parks

• Outstanding and I encourage others to participate.

• The thing I will take away is that there are a whole bunch of people that you don't see on a daily basis, working very hard for the city of Sanford . . . and they all seem to really love their jobs. As a local business and home owner, that really made me feel better about our city.

• Excellent, it is important to us to be informed citizens and understand how our city government works. We also value being productive citizens in our community.

P. ¿PODRÍA COMPARTIR CON NUESTROS LECTORES DÓNDE NACIÓ Y CRECIÓ? ¿CÓMO FUE SU NIÑEZ?

estupendos. Cuando tenía veinte años, realmente no pensaba mucho en la paternidad y la verdad es que no me enfrenté a ella hasta que vi por primera vez a mi hijo Riley (15 años).

Estaba impresionado por lo increíble que es volverse padre y, ¡también estaba un poco asustado! Cinco años después, Brandi, mi esposa y yo decidimos que sabíamos algo de lo que estábamos haciendo como padres y tuvimos un segundo niño, Chase, el más joven (10 años). Ellos se han convertido en excelentes jovencitos y, más importante aún, en caballeros.

Haber sido elegido alcalde de Sanford, ganándole el escaño a un titular del cargo, fue otro gran logro. Y, por supuesto, también fue satisfactorio haber sido reelegido después de superar a dos rivales muy competentes. Es un honor que la ciudadanía de Sanford haya puesto tanta confianza en mí.

GE T T O K N OW

JEFF JE FF JEF SANFORD CITY MAYOR PERLA B. CROSBY Q. PLEASE, SHARE WITH OUR READERS WHERE YOU WERE BORN AND LIVED AS A CHILD? WHAT WERE YOUR CHILDHOOD YEARS LIKE? R: I was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1969 and raised in Nixa, Missouri, a small town outside of Springfield, the Queen City of the Ozarks. I have one older brother who was my mentor and best friend. We were both athletes so it seems like everything I remember from growing up is surrounded in memories of basketball, football, golf and baseball. It was a good time to grow up. I don’t remember having to lock doors, the keys in them. Growing up in such a small town had its perils, too, as everyone knew each other. And it seemed like our parents knew what we were doing before we did it sometimes. Our weekend nights usually consisted of getting together in someone’s field by the river or a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, listening to music, talking or just hanging out with friends. I could write a country song about my childhood!

Q. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT IN LIFE? R. Becoming a dad of 2 great boys. I really hadn't thought much about being a father when I s

kinda knew what we were doing as parents and had a second child, my youngest Chase (10 years old). They have grown into great young men and more importantly, gentlemen.

Being elected Sanford’s mayor by beating an incumbent for the seat was a great achievement for me. And of two very capable opponents was nice, too. It's an honor to have the citizens of Sanford put so much trust in me.

Q. WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO SANFORD, FLORIDA? R. Honestly, I had no idea I'd be working and living in Sanford. I was supposed to open a new bank in Dr. Phillips back in 1996. My boss came to me the day before and asked if I’d go to Sanford to oversee the branch because they had just promoted the nothing about Sanford when I was sent here. Almost immediately, however, I absolutely fell in love with the people and area. It really reminded me of where I grew up in many ways.

R. Nací en St. Louis, Missouri, en 1969 y fui criado en Nixa, Missouri, una pequeña localidad a las afueras de Springfield, cuyo apodo es The Queen City of the Ozarks. Tengo un hermano mayor que fue mi mentor y mi mejor amigo. Ambos fuimos atletas así que, pareciera que todo lo que recuerdo de mi época de crecimiento era estar rodeado de reminiscencias en torno al baloncesto, al fútbol, al golf y al béisbol. Era un buen momento para crecer. No recuerdo tener que cerrar las puertas y dejábamos nuestros autos estacionados con las llaves puestas. Crecer en un pueblo tan pequeño también tenía sus riesgos ya que todos nos conocíamos. Y, a veces, parecía que nuestros padres sabían lo que estábamos haciendo, incluso antes de hacerlo. Nuestras noches de los fines de semana consistían, por lo general, en reunirnos en el césped de alguien, cerca del río o en un área en medio de la nada para escuchar música, hablar o simplemente pasar el rato con los amigos. ¡Podría escribir una canción country sobre mi infancia!

P. ¿CUÁL HA SIDO SU MAYOR LOGRO EN LA VIDA? R. Convertirme en padre de dos chicos

P. ¿QUÉ LE ATRAJO DE SANFORD, FLORIDA? R. Sinceramente, no tenía ni idea de que terminaría trabajando y viviendo en Sanford. Se suponía que tenía que abrir un nuevo establecimiento bancario en Dr. Phillips en el año 1996.

Un día antes, mi jefe vino y me

I was fortunate to work with the late John Mercer for several years. He had been a banker in Sanford forever. He was an inspiration, knew everyone and got me involved in the community by placing me on several non-profit and business boards.

Q. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY AS A CITY MAYOR? R. I had served on a bunch of city and county boards over the years, so it was a natural progression. Local day-to-day basis more than any other branch. I found myself wanting to be involved at a higher policy-making level than what I had been doing.

At the beginning of the recession I decided to run for mayor because I thought my financial background would be a great asset to the city. I feel that we’ve come a long way since the first couple of years of financial struggles, social issues and national media attention. I’m proud of our city and what we have all accomplished together over the years that I’ve been blessed to be mayor.

Q. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT SANFORD? R. There's a lot to love! The resurgence of business in the downtown area; our historic neighborhoods; and the eclectic mix of people that that live in this city that make it a microcosm of America.

I love the fact that there is not a "typical" day in Sanford. You can be in the Historical Downtown corridor sitting at a sidewalk cafe, then in less than 10 minutes you can be shopping at Seminole Town Center Mall or any of the national retailers surrounding it; Mexico, the Caribbean or one of 71 U.S. cities out of Orlando Sanford International Airport; • or you can take the SunRail to downtown Orlando; • or you can be at the Central Florida Zoo for a day; • or you can rent a boat to cruise the scenic St. John’s River.

• or you can hang out in downtown and sample food and drinks from Germany, Greece, Belgium, Caribbean, Korea and of course American. I didn't even mention the three breweries you will soon be able to walk to in downtown.

We amazingly have it all!

Q. IF YOU HAD TO START A NEW CAREER, WHAT PROFESSION WOULD YOU CHOOSE? R. I think I'd be in Washington D.C. helping to shape policies for our nation. Our federal and state legislators pass a lot of laws in a vacuum. They don’t think about the impact it has on local governing boards, or individual households. I believe we need our representatives to they pass.

Or maybe just own a pool cleaning business! :-) Believe it or not cleaning my pool or pressure washing the pool deck is therapeutic for me, so maybe that would be the job to have. At least actually accomplished something.

Q. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT SANFORD, WHAT WOULD IT BE? R. The perception about the city. Once people visit Sanford and meet the people, they love it. Those who have never been here, or haven't been here in a long time, have the wrong perception and that becomes their reality.

We need to do a better job of continuing the positive vibes of Sanford by telling our story. Sanford has a lot of chapters in her book. The previous chapters can’t be erased, but that isn't the end of the story. There are still many more great chapters to employees and citizens – have the opportunity and the responsibility to make the future chapters the best ones yet.

preguntó si me gustaría ir a Sanford para supervisar la sucursal, puesto que acababa de promocionar al ejecutivo en una nueva ubicación.

No sabía nada de Sanford cuando me enviaron aquí. Sin embargo, me enamoré casi inmediatamente de su gente y la región. Ciertamente, en muchos aspectos, me recordó al lugar donde crecí.

Tuve la suerte de trabajar durante varios años con John Mercer, ya fallecido. Él fue, un establecido banquero de Sanford. Fue una inspiración, conocía a todos y me involucró en la comunidad relacionándome en diversos consejos empresariales y sin fines de lucro.

P. ¿QUÉ LE INSPIRÓ PRESTAR SERVICIO A SU COMUNIDAD COMO ALCALDE DE LA CIUDAD? R. Había servido en muchas ciudades y condados a lo largo de los años, así que fue una evolución natural. En el día a día, el gobierno local afecta nuestras vidas más que cualquier otro poder. Me encontré con que quería estar involucrado a un mayor nivel de lo que había estado hasta entonces en cuanto a la formulación de políticas.

Al comienzo de la recesión decidí presentarme como candidato a la Alcaldía porque pensé que mi experiencia con las finanzas sería de gran valor para la ciudad. Siento que hemos recorrido un largo camino desde los primeros años de problemas económicos, cuestiones sociales y la atención de los medios nacionales.

Estoy orgulloso de nuestra ciudad y de todo lo que hemos logrado juntos durante los años en que he tenido la dicha de ser alcalde.

P. ¿QUÉ ES LO QUE MÁS LE GUSTA DE SANFORD? R. ¡Que hay mucho amor! El resurgimiento de los negocios en el centro de la ciudad, nuestros barrios históricos y la mezcla ecléctica de personas que la conforman y que la convierten en un microcosmos de América.

Me encanta el hecho de que no haya un día "típico" en Sanford. Puedes estar en el paseo histórico del centro de la ciudad sentado en un café peatonal en la vereda; luego, en menos de diez minutos, puedes ir de compras al centro comercial Seminole Town Center Mall o a cualquiera de los establecimientos minoristas nacionales que lo rodean • o en un avión volando hacia Europa, México, el Caribe o alguna de las 71

ciudades de los Estados Unidos desde el aeropuerto internacional Orlando Sanford International Airport; • o puedes tomar el tren de cercanías SunRail hasta el centro de Orlando; • o bien puedes pasar el día en el zoológico Central Florida Zoo; • o puedes alquilar un barco y hacer un crucero por el espectacular río St. Johns; • o puedes salir por el centro y probar comidas y bebidas de Alemania, Grecia, Bélgica, el Caribe, Corea y, por supuesto, de Estados Unidos. Ni siquiera he mencionado las tres cervecerías en el centro de la ciudad a las que se podrá ir dentro de poco. ¡Asombrosamente, lo tenemos todo!

P. SI TUVIERA QUE COMENZAR UNA NUEVA CARRERA, ¿QUÉ PROFESIÓN ELEGIRÍA? R. Creo que estaría en Washington DC ayudando a moldear las políticas de nuestra nación. Nuestros legisladores federales y estatales aprueban una gran cantidad de leyes por su cuenta.

No piensan en el impacto que tienen en los consejos de los gobiernos locales o en los hogares particulares.

Creo que necesitamos que nuestros representantes vivan hasta las últimas consecuencias de las políticas que aprueban. ¡O, quizás, tendría únicamente un negocio de limpieza de piscinas! Lo crea o no, limpiar mi piscina o lavar a presión el área que la bordea me resulta terapéutico, así que tal vez ese sería el empleo que tendría. Al menos, después de cada trabajo se podría decir que realmente se ha logrado algo.

P. SI PUDIERA CAMBIAR ALGO DE SANFORD, ¿QUE SERÍA? R. La percepción sobre la ciudad.

Cuando la gente visita Sanford y conoce a su gente, les encanta.

Aquellos que nunca han venido o que hace mucho tiempo que no han estado aquí tienen una percepción errónea que se convierte en su realidad.

Tenemos que hacer un mejor trabajo y continuar con las vibraciones positivas de Sanford a la hora de contar nuestra historia. Sanford tiene muchos capítulos en su libro. Los capítulos anteriores no se pueden borrar, pero ese no es el final de la historia. Todavía quedan muchos capítulos estupendos por escribir. Todos nosotros -los funcionarios electos, los empleados de la ciudad y la ciudadanía- tenemos la oportunidad y la responsabilidad de hacer que los capítulos futuros sean los mejores.

6 REASONS

SHOULD BE DOING

CROSSFIT

JOE ABACHE

1

THE ROUTINE IS NEVER “ROUTINE”

To really get a workout and to get the blood pumping, CrossFit combines cardio and strength training by requiring members to complete some exercises in a measured amount of time with as many repetitions as possible, and to complete other exercises until they can’t do anymore.

CROSSFIT LOVES PALEO

Cross training is nothing new, but most gyms tell you to because workouts are based on 25 to 35 movements.

People work out for many months at a CrossFit facility without using the same workout twice.

CROSSFIT IS A COMMUNITY

2

EVERY WORKOUT IS COMPLETE

In the CrossFit program, participants are teammates and they form a community that supports one another, not only in the CrossFit facility, but online as well. The greatest downfall of the normal gym workout is the

and the friends that participants make, consistency becomes simple because it’s fun to workout.

participants to compete in whichever workout they like, but eat only Paleo diets or have points deducted from the challenge total. The Paleo diet is rich in vegetables, Omega-3 fats, fruits, and lean meats, and excludes grains and dairy.

ALWAYS KNOW YOUR FITNESS STATUS

The benchmark workouts come up every 3 to 6 months and are very simple workouts designed to measure fitness from a variety of angles. These benchmarks give the CrossFitter a very clear view of their current state of fitness and what they need to work on.

GET BETTER AT LIFE

CrossFit is designed to improve participants and help them make a better living. CrossFit uses common helping you to do the regular things of life, like climbing stairs like a champ.

IMPORTANCE OF THE

FAMILY IN OUR LIVES

DR . MIGUEL A . GONZ à LE Z , L MF T, MHS, MS* As summer becomes fall and we approach important holiday—Thanksgiving, the meaning and significance of the family in our society is highlighted. These special days are usually spent with family, if we have themselves alone and/or grieving on these special days due to divorces, death or estrangement.

Human beings are born into families, and from that part of a family. Even children that are born to single mothers are indeed a part of a family, as there are generations of ancestors of this child who form his or her present or historical family. But, what is a family, and what are some of the contributions it makes to the well-being of the individual members and society at large?

Some writers define the family based on whether they have legal or blood ties, others see the family as a socio-economic unit with wide economic implications, others define the concept as to include people that live under the same roof, sharing rights and responsibilities, etc. However, independently of the definitions, there is a general consensus, even across cultures, that the family is the most important unit in society.

Can you imagine life without a family? For most of us, membership in our families is not something we worry about; it is taken as a given because the family is such an integral part of our lives. In most instances,

at least in American society, the moment we are born, there are safeguards provided by our parents or other family members so as to ensure our safety and happiness. Our family provides not only the biological means for our survival but also the social skills and guidance to learn to function in an increasingly complex world.

At birth, we are fragile and unable to provide for our own survival; as such, we are dependent on others, mainly our family; without these safeguards, we would perish, despite our brain superiority over other species. Some writers state that a child learns most of the things in life from his or her family. Our homes serve as our first schools and our parents and/or caregivers are our first teachers, from whom we learn social/relational, communication and other skills to deal with the world outside our doors. From changing our diapers to lending us a shoulder to cry on, when our emotional pain seems unbearable, our family members stand by us, particularly during times of

Beyond the temperament and personality traits we inherit from our parents, the family is also the most important force responsible for shaping both. The literature asserts that not even migration, a modern challenge to the traditional concept of family, does away with the learnings, values and beliefs we acquire in the context of our families, or with the family self-identity we have developed overtime.

As evidence in the recent economic recession, families were forced to band together to help each other navigate the worst crisis since the Great Depression.

The family unit, in its broadest definition, became ever important in the survival of, not only the families themselves, but our society as a whole. Whatever the case may be, the significance of family for society is immense!
