Earlier detection and faster diagnosis offer hope to patients with
lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined, according to the American Cancer Society, 2017. Manatee Memorial Hospital has established a multidisciplinary Lung Institute, where a dedicated team of physicians and staff work together to determine the best course of action for patients diagnosed with lung cancer. The team includes medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, pathologists and radiologists, a nurse navigator and nursing/ancillary staff. When people who are at risk for lung cancer receive a low-dose radiation CT scan at the Lung Institute, the results are shared with the patient’s primary care physician as well as the Institute’s multidisciplinary team. For those who are found to have lung cancer, the survival rate may improve through earlier detection, accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment.

her Basse-taille technique. In enameling all the techniques names are in French. Basse-taille comes from the French word meaning “low-cut”. The surface of the metal is etched with a low relief design which can be seen through transparent enamels. Ingrid’s years in Milwaukee turn out busy: teaching enameling at the Community College, many exhibits, art fairs around the state and she was Show Chairperson for WI-Designer Crafts council. She was a contributor to Glass on Metal Magazine. In the summers she taught courses at the Peninsula Art School in Door County, WI. She established herself at the Edgewood Orchard Art Galleries, in Fish Creek, WI. They have sold her jewelry for 38 years and Ingrid continues to make new creations for them. Karen L. Cohen produced a book on the Art of Fine Enameling and Ingrid is featured in the chapter on Basse-taille. In 1999, they left the empty nest and snow and moved to Sun City Center. Truly an enrichment for our community. Gene and Ingrid square-danced for nine years but gardening is still her favorite pastime, and when she is not enameling, you can find her tending her flowers. She has her studio in her home overlooking one of SCC’s many lakes. Ingrid says “When I step into my studio, I feel excited to know that there are still more enamels to create and something better to be achieved.”

By Ilona Merritt Take a piece of metal some glass powder, beads and put them into the hands of an artist and the most unique piece of jewelry can come to life. Meet Ingrid Regula, artist and enameling instructor at the Lapidary Club. Ingrid’s interest in the Arts came early and developed on very fertile ground right after WWII in Berlin, Germany. She wanted to become a commercial artist and received a scholarship to the Academy for Fine and Applied Arts. There were a number of electives and enameling was one of them. It looked like fun, but she thought one could not make a living with it during the four years there she concentrated on the commercial aspects of her studies. She lived in a cultural environment surrounded by Opera, Symphony and Theatre. She ate the soup that the American airlift program delivered and despite the shortcomings in her life she became an artist. She studied English at the Berlitz School, met Gene Regula and practiced her English on him. In 1952, she flew to Cleveland, Ohio to become his wife. Ingrid went to work at American Greeting Card Company until she was expecting their first child and from then on, she free-lanced. Gene was, and still is her greatest supporter. At that time, Cleveland was a hotbed for enameling. Supplies were available everywhere. She took classes at the Cleveland Art Institute from several famous teachers. She started selling a few of her pieces which allowed her to buy more supplies. In 1970 Gene was transferred to Milwaukee. She said she would go along if there was a Symphony and an Art Museum. Ingrid joined the “Wisconsin Designer Crafts Council” and became active in that group. She expanded her knowledge at an excellent Community College. She learned metalsmithing to be able to make jewelry where she could employ
