Wearable Art 13 Is Having a Hot Flash See it August 26 in Dunedin

By TERRI BRyCE REEVES, Editor t 80 years old, designer Julian Hartzog still flaunts a great sense of humor, artistic eye, and genuine appreciation for the female form. Once again, he’ll be a featured designer at the Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Wearable Art 13, a crazy, fun, and outrageous mashup of fashion, art and partying.

This year, he’s entering six brightly colored metal bathing suits and futuristic sunglasses, sun hats and beach bag.

“Also, I have a science fiction character in hot red made of metal which I named Hot Flash,” Hartzog said.

This will be the fifth year the Tarpon Springs resident is a featured designer for the show –it’s a role that has led him to the world stage.

For the past three years, the former electrical engineer and portrait painter has entered the New Zealand, World of Wearable Art show – the biggest and most prestigious worldwide. He’s done very well, winning the 2014 International Award for the Americas with his Girls in Ribbons entry. He won again in 2015 for his Starship Girl submission. Then in 2016, he nailed first place with his Come Fly with Me outfit in the Bizarre Bra Category. (Yes, that is a category!)

He’ll be entering Hot Flash this year in the New Zealand show since it has a Science Fiction theme in their Costume and Film section. Designers for the movies and TV shows will be entering that category and Hartzog can’t wait to compete with them.

When he finishes making the metal bathing bikinis, he plans to parade the girls down Clearwater Beach “just to see how much attention they get.”

Besides Hartzog’s collection, the art center’s Wearable Art Show 13 will feature presentations by creatives Irina Bilka, Mark Byrne, Melissa Dolce, the Garden Fairies, Johnny Hunt, Dacota Maphis, Lina Teixeira, and Sue Woodall-Metas -- all crowned by the hair and make-up artistry of Salon GW. Be prepared to be amazed. Past years have produced designs fashioned from all sorts of unusual materials: raw meat, veggies, balloons, lamp shades and condoms.

Seating prices range from $55 to $95. You’ll want to score your tickets early if past years are any indication.

Feeling frugal? Party tickets are available for $10 and include admission to the pre- and post-parties with live music and costumed models. The Pre-Party will feature the dynamic duo, Spy on the Land, while the 2016 Best of the Bay winner, WAHH! will be bringing their world fusion weave of jazz, rock and funk to set the Post-Party on fire. Catch the runway show on a huge video monitor with these tickets.

LazyareDays Here Again!

A

s the dog days of summer continue to pant, I think of August as the month for laidback activities: beach walks, catnaps, and catching up with old friends.

But I never realized how officially laidback August is.

Did you know that August 10th is National Lazy Day and August 15th is National Relaxation Day? So don’t stress yourself out too much. To celebrate, don’t strive for perfection and productivity. Instead shamelessly binge watch Netflix, read a steamy hot romance novel or just shake out your toes. After all, August 6th is National Wiggle Your Toes Days. On this day we are supposed to go barefoot, but not for too long because we could develop plantar fasciitis (see our article on flip-flops).

A n d t h e n t h e r e ’s N a t i o n a l Underwear Day observed on August 5th. How you choose to celebrate this one – whether posting a scantily clad selfie on Facebook or strolling around

the house in your skivvies -- is you own risky business (pun intended).

One good way to chill is to take in Motown the Musical running Aug. 8 –13 at the Straz in Tampa. It’s a non-stop hit parade of classics by stars like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5 and many more. The show, filled with spectacular period costumes, tells the story of Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records and his ascent to the top.

Check out our Motown quiz and crossword in this issue for some funky, easygoing fun.

We also preview an August 12th, free outdoor show in Tampa’s Ybor City featuring that mustachioed mischief maker of 1980s fame, Gallagher.

The occasion? A watermelon fest cuz nothing says summer like that seedy red fruit. And with that in mind, we’ve got the scoop on its benefits along with some unique recipes.

Another way to spend a hot August night is at the Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Wearable Art 13 where

the runway will be filled with music, lights and beautiful, awe-inspiring, far-fetched looks designed to baffle the imagination. Details inside.

You’ll have to find what other goodies we have tucked into this issue on your own.

After all, National Lazy Day is almost here and I don’t feel like writing any more.

Every day I watched how a bare metal frame, rolling down the line would come off the other end, a spanking brand new car.

What a great idea! Maybe, I could do the same thing with my music.

Create a place where a kid off the street could walk in one door, an unknown, go through a process, and come out another door, a star. ~Berry Gordy, Motown Records founder

Gallagher –

When the Fruit Hits the Fans

MORE GET

OUT OF LIFE!

By MIKE MERINO PhOtOs By tERRI BRycE REEvEs

T

he Tampa Bay area has raised its share of top flight entertainers and one of the most famous hometown funnymen is known for smashing watermelons. Gallagher, now a ripe 70 years old, will be appearing at a free outdoor show to Tampa`s Ybor City on August 12.

The melon slayer of 1980`s fame shared a few memories about growing up in the Cigar City and his rise to fame.

Q) How was life growing up in the Tampa area?

A) My father was always searching for a reason to move to Florida from Ohio, so when I was 9, he moved us down here because I had asthma.

When I was in junior high, Dad opened the Roll-A-Rink and our family of six lived in a three-bedroom mobile home behind the rink. I became an excellent speed and figure skater which helped my confidence; I was also an Eagle Boy Scout. I attended Plant High School and graduated from USF with a chemical engineering degree. I minored in English literature, which comes in handy when I mock language in my skits.

Q) Was comedy hard at first?

A) Compared to roller skating, comedy was a snap. You don’t have wheels on your feet, but sometimes you fall down anyway and they usually laugh.

Q) Where did the inspiration for your act (and the Sledge-O-Matic) come from?

A) The act is a parody of ads for the Ronco Veg-O-Matic, a kitchen appliance popular from the mid-1960s through the 1970s. I wrote the routine for the “SledgeO-Matic” and sent it to George Carlin and Albert Brooks so I could say I had written a script for some well-known comics. I`m glad they didn`t take it!

Q) How did you go from Tampa to the national stage?

A) I looked up my first talent agents in the yellow pages and found two. One got me my first smashing act in a bowling alley. The other agent introduced me to comic/musician Jim Stafford who I worked with for four years until I launched my own routine in California in 1969. When I made it on to the Tonight Show in the late 1970s, my career took off.

More fun. More friends. More value.

Recipe Corner

The Wonders of Watermelon

atermelon is one of the most wondrous of foods: its abundant, inexpensive, loaded with antioxidants and electrolytes and gets along well with other flavors. Too bad, most people just slice it and eat.

So let’s get creative and think out outside of the rind with these two quick, no-bake recipes from www.watermelon.org.

W

Breakfast Lasagna Here’s a twist on lasagna you can put together in a few minutes to create a very unique and nutritious dish. Serves six.

Ingredients: 4 c. corn flakes 2 c. minced watermelon 2 c. fresh blueberries & sliced strawberries 2 c. vanilla yogurt Directions: • Place 1/3 of the corn flakes in an even layer in the bottom of an 8 by 8-inch serving dish.

• Mix together the watermelon, blueberries, strawberries (or fruit of your choice) and yogurt and spoon half of it over the corn flake layer evenly.

• Sprinkle another layer of the corn flakes over the yogurt and then layer the remaining yogurt over that.

• Sprinkle the remaining corn flakes evenly over the top.

Greek Pita Flatbread Cut the saturated fat and cholesterol to a fraction by switching from regular hamburger to ground turkey or chicken breast in these sliders. The watermelon gives a nice cool, juiciness to the burger, while adding a hefty dose of antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene.

Ingredients: 4 wedges seedless watermelon (bite size pieces) 1 c. diced cooked chicken 1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro 2 Tbsp. Greek yogurt 1/4 tsp. garlic salt dash cayenne pepper 2 whole pita breads, halved or whole grain flatbreads 1/4 c. spreadable herb cheese 4 lg. lettuce leaves Directions: • Place sliced watermelon on paper towels to remove excess liquid.

• Mix chicken, cilantro, yogurt, garlic salt and cayenne.

• Spread inside surfaces of pita bread halves with herbed cheese and fill each with about 1/4 cup chicken mixture.

• Arrange watermelon and lettuce in pita bread.

Due to recent setbacks, my summer beach body has been postponed another year.

As usual, your patience is appreciated.

The Juice on Watermelons F

resh from the garden, sliced for grilling, or diced into a cool salad, watermelon is a favorite summer snack. At 92 percent water, it’s a natural refresher.

In March of each year, Florida starts to ship watermelons to folks up north so they, too, can begin to enjoy watermelon’s crunchy, sugary goodness. As the calendar nears July, the tide turns and Floridians begin to eat melon shipped from north of the MasonDixon Line.

The good news is that if you’ve got a hankering for melon, you can find it just about anywhere in the U.S. during warm summer months. Select a uniformed shaped, smooth-skinned, yellow-bellied (not white) melon with a neither dull nor shiny exterior. Melons

The redder the flesh, the more ripe, sweet and nutritious it is.

without a yellow patch may have been picked too early. Tap a watermelon and if it makes a hollow, deep sound, it is fully ripened. The redder the flesh, the more ripe, sweet and nutritious it is. Heaviness indicates a higher juice content.

Plan to eat your melon within a few days of purchase; store leftovers in your refrigerator for about a week.

Leave an uncut watermelon at room temperature to raise its lycopene level 20 percent; lycopene protects against degenerative eye diseases. Watermelons also contain glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that aids the body in detoxification reducing the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. In addition, the potassium found in watermelon can help steady blood pressure. Other studies indicate that it can help reduce the inflammation that contributes to asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer and arthritis.

Although it contains only 46 calories per cup, each serving of this mighty melon does have 20 grams of sugar. Still there is no fat, no cholesterol and the watermelon delivers 20 percent of needed vitamin C and 17 percent of vitamin A.

by Teri Pizza Every part of the melon is edible. Toasted seeds can be a snack food; rinds are perfect for pickling.

Watermelon can be used in everything from soups to smoothies, to entrees and elegant desserts. Freeze slices with sticks for popsicles or brush with oil and grill them.

Next time you bite into a watermelon, instead of salt, try sprinkling it with nutmeg or cinnamon as a tasty and healthy alternative.

Favorite musical memories from years gone by

by Randal Hill

I

n the summer of 1967, folks were asking, “What re a l l y h a p p e n e d to Billie Joe McAllister? What exactly did he throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge? And what about that girl up on Choctaw Ridge?”

It was all part of the fun of trying to analyze Bobbie G e n t r y ’s c h a r t topper Ode to Billie Joe. Years later, Bobbie explained in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits that many listeners missed the point.

“Everybody seems more concerned with what was thrown off the bridge than they are with the thoughtlessness of people expressed in the song,” she groused. “The real ‘message’ of the song, if there must be a message, revolves around the nonchalant way the family talks about the suicide.”

F o r i n s t a n c e , t h e n a r r a t o r ’s indifference around the dinner table is apparent in the lyrics, “Well, Billie Joe never had a lick o’ sense; pass the biscuits, please.”

Gentry was born Roberta Lee Streeter in Chickasaw County, Mississippi in 1942. When her parents divorced, Streeter moved in with her grandparents.

She taught herself to play the piano and write some catchy little tunes. In the mid-1950s, she and her mother relocated to Palm Springs, California.

After graduation from high school in 1960, she enrolled at the prestigious

Blast From The Past

Los Angeles Conservatory of Music to study guitar and composition.

Now calling herself Bobbie Gentry— from the 1952 movie Ruby Gentry—she auditioned at Capitol Records.

Executives there were instantly taken with both Gentry’s talent and stunning good looks.

Capitol released her selfcomposed Gothic ballad Ode to Billie Joe as her first single. Gentry had cut Ode in less than an hour, accompanying herself on a finger-picked acoustic guitar.

Violins, a cello and a bass were added later. Ode was eventually edited from seven minutes and 11 verses to a more radio-friendly (read: shorter and simpler) tune.

DJs began spinning Ode in heavy rotation. Once it hit Billboard’s singles charts, Ode took just three weeks to reach Number One and pave the way for three Grammy awards that followed the next year.

In 1999, Ode was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Oddly, when the Grammy people tried to send Gentry her award, nobody could find a phone number or an address for her.

The award was set on a shelf where, one assumes, it still rests today.

Forget Billie Joe McAllister.

Now people should ask,” What really happened to Bobbie Gentry?”

et ready cuz here it comes! Motown the Musical, which opened on Broadway in 2013, will be churning out the classic hits at the Straz in Tampa, August 8 – 13. The musical features more than 60 beloved songs from the Motown catalogue, arranged and orchestrated to resemble the originals.

The show tells the true story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey from featherweight boxer to heavyweight music mogul. His record company gave birth to some of the nation’s most iconic performers including Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder,

the Temptations, the Jackson 5, and many more. The Motown sounds not only created great dance music, but they would help to reshape America’s social and political landscape as well. As the white audiences embraced the soul aesthetic, cultural barriers toppled.

To improve your Motown-cred, we’ve designed a Motown quiz and crossword puzzle.

Music City:

In the Path of Totality – and Totally Cool

BY SAM HATCHER

O

n August 21, an epic solar eclipse will sweep across the nation and Tennessee’s capital, Nashville, will be the biggest city in its direct path.

Beginning at noon Nashville time, the moon will cross in front of the sun and turn the day into total darkness for two minutes in the middle of the three-hour celestial show.

Betcha a new country hit or two will emerge from this one.

The Music City will have a lot going on during this solar fest, but one of the best bets is the Adventure Science Center’s Music City Solar Eclipse Festival and Viewing Party (www.adventuresci.org/eclipsefest) . It features science and technology explorations, activities, games, live music, prizes, food trucks and a viewing party.

Keep updated about all the activities the city has planned by visiting www.musiccityeclipse.com.

Located within a day’s drive of three-fourths of the U.S. population east of the Mississippi, Nashville has become one of the nation’s hottest places to visit any time of the year.

From country music to professional sports this “must see city” is a place where days begin with country ham and biscuits at the Loveless Cafe and end hours after the last call at Tootsie’s Orchard Lounge, the city’s most famous honky-tonk.

Nashville is where you’ll find The Hermitage, home of President Andrew Jackson; the Grand Ole Opry; the Ryman Auditorium where the Opry got its start; prestigious universities including Vanderbilt and

Lifestyles After 50 • Lake/Marion • August 2017 • page 12

Fisk; renowned art galleries; and a stunning full scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.

A day spent here might include a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the acquisition of a pair of cowboy boots from one of several stores along Lower Broad, visits to a number of historic sites, and dinner at one of the city’s many award winning and nationally acclaimed restaurants.

Your itinerary could also include a major concert at either Nissan Stadium, Bridgestone Arena or the relatively new Ascend Amphitheater all clustered and conveniently located within walking distance of the downtown district.

In Nashville, the stars are always out. We’re talkin’ celebs like Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Others calling Nashville home are Charlie Daniels, Chris Stapleton, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire, Lady Antebellum, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Trisha Yearwood, and many, many more.

Of course it’s also the place where legends in the industry like Johnny Cash, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Eddy Arnold, Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph and others etched their marks and are memorialized with museums, life size statues, and true to life wax figures.

So whether it’s southern cooking, honky-tonk music, county star sightings or celestial shows your yearning for, Nashville totally gets it.

How a Chicago Doctor Shook Up the Hearing Aid Industry with His Newest Invention Nearly Invisible Digital Hearing Aid Costs 90%

Less

Chicago – Board-certified Ear, Nose, and Throat physician Dr. S. Cherukuri has done it once again with his newest invention of a medical-grade, ALL-DIGITAL, affordable hearing aid. This new digital hearing aid is packed with all the features of $3,500 competitors at a mere fraction of the cost. Now, most people with hearing loss are able to enjoy crystal clear, natural sound — in a crowd, watching tv, on the phone — without suffering through “whistling” and annoying background noise.

Digital Hearing Aid Outperforms Expensive Competitors This sleek, fully programmed, light-weight, hearing aid is the outgrowth of the digital revolution that is changing our world. While demand for “all things digital” caused most prices to plunge (consider DVD players and computers, which originally sold for thousands of dollars and today can be purchased for less), the cost of a digital medical-grade hearing aid remains out of reach.

Dr. Cherukuri knew that many of his patients would benefit but couldn’t afford the expense for these new digital hearing aids. Generally they are not covered by Medicare and most private health insurance plans.

Affordable Digital Technology Using advanced digital technology, the MDHearingAid®AIR automatically adjusts to your listening environment — prioritizing speech and de-emphasizing background noise. Experience all of the sounds you’ve been missing at a price you can afford. This doctor-designed and approved hearing aid comes with a full year’s supply of long-life batteries. It delivers crisp, clear sound all day long and the soft flexible ear domes are so comfortable you won’t realize you’re wearing them.

Nearly Invisible!
