The May Stringer House, aka the Hernando Heritage Museum in Brooksville, Fla., has a ghostly reputation among the paranormal community. “Many things have happened” there, according to a research report by online poker company CardsChat, “including hearing a child cry when no child was around.” The 12-room, four-story home was originally built in 1856 before being remodeled in the early 1900s.

TAMPA — As a former star of Ghost Hunters International, Angela Alderman has investigated paranormal sightings throughout the world. She considers her home state of Florida among the most haunted places she has been. “When I walk through parts of Florida, I have heard people walking behind me, turned around and saw no one,” Alderman, a Tampa resident, said. “Florida has some magical places.” So she was shocked to learn that online poker company CardsChat, which is delving into content marketing, had listed Florida as the state where someone is least likely to see a ghost. According to their research, the gambling odds of seeing a ghost in Florida are +1,296,000, meaning a $100 wager would win nearly $1.3 million. The state where someone is most likely to see a ghost is Illinois, with odds of +110,900. “That doesn’t sound right,” Alderman said. “Ybor City alone should place Florida higher.”
“
Actually, no Ybor ghost sightings made the list compiled of hauntings from 1972 through 2020, but Tampa Theatre and the Hernando Historical Museum did. According to Anna Osborne, an England-based marketing executive who represents CardsChat, the data was collected using manual web research with keywords and combinations of keywords such as haunted, ghosts and paranormal. “If one person declared they have seen a ghost more than once, or multiple people have shared the same inexplicable event over a period of time, then we noted that as haunted,” Osborne said. She noted that there’s no scientific proof of a haunting, so the data is subjective. Orlando is the most haunted city in Florida, according to their research, with 32 sightings since 1972, followed by St. Augustine with 15. Tampa and St. Petersburg have each had 11. Brooksville made the list with seven, Tarpon Springs added three to Florida’s total and Clearwater’s tally is two. Overall, Florida totaled 1,697

As the dog days of summer slowly fade and we begin to notice a bit of fall in the air, the Village of Royal Palm Beach once again welcomes back its weekly green market. And with little to do since Palm Beach County shut down six months ago in an effort to stave off the Covid-19 pandemic, for many residents of the Western Communities it couldn’t come soon enough. The Royal Palm Beach Green Market and Bazaar returns to its lakeside location at Village Hall, at the corner of Okeechobee and Royal Palm Beach boulevards, starting Saturday, Oct. 10. This year’s green market welcomes back many of past years’ most popular vendors – plus new ones – to offer a wide selection of produce ranging from fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. There will also be fresh fish and seafood, flowers and plants, along with favorites including baked goods, pastries, locally-produced honey and food trucks. The green market will also offer artisan and vegan foods along with a unique selection of artists and crafters selling jewelry, crafts, gemstones, clothing, soaps, pet treats and more. According to Kathy Gilbert of POTTC Events, who organizes the market, public safety and social distancing protocols will be in place, including greater spacing between vendor booths, frequent cleaning and sanitization of high-touch areas and hand sanitizing staRPB GREEN MARKET / PAGE 4

SCENE FROM WEST PALM by Aaron Wormus | awormus@palmswestmonthly.com
City’s Art in Public Places enhances downtown’s appeal West Palm Beach has a rich history of supporting public art, but even long-time residents may not be familiar with some of the city’s most unique works. Here’s a quick rundown of three art installations scattered around the city worth checking out, along with one that will be installed in the near future. We’ll also pay tribute to the city’s program that’s dedicated to funding public art now and in the future.
ELDERS’ COVE
At Dreher Park’s Southern Boulevard entrance, located in the south end of West Palm Beach, visitors will come across a peaceful landscape setting called Elders’ Cove. Rising from the large stormwater retention pond is a 14-foot sculpture with mist and drip fountains that aerates and filters the surrounding lake water. This monumental work was created by artists Jackie Brookner and Angelo Ciotti as part of the 130-acre Dreher Park’s redesign back in 2004. It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.
CITYZEN GARDEN
At the corner of Datura Street and Dixie Highway sits a 12,000-square-foot park known as CityZen Garden. The tranquil public space was designed by local artists Sherryl Muriente and Béju with help from Finnish studio Casagrande Laboratory and local landscape architecture firm Studio Sprout. Visitors can leisurely walk through the bamboo forest, meet a friend for coffee in the shade of the pavilion, watch a trio of musicians play in the open amphitheater or just sit and meditate with one of the large bronze Dudali sculptures.
RESTORATION HARDWARE
If you have driven west on Okeechobee Boulevard out of downtown, you probably noticed the four-story hieroglyphic-like mural on the east side of Restoration Hardware. As the massive mural was being installed back in 2017, the work by California-based artist RETNA was met with questioning looks by passersby. Now, however, it has taken its position as part of the texture of West Palm Beach’s art scene.

at Rosemary Square when the office space opens next year. The colorful hand-painted sculpture was created by British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE (CBE stands for Commander of the Order of the British Empire). It will stand 20 feet tall and represent the notion of capturing the movement of wind and freezing it in a moment in time.
WEST PALM BEACH ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
These works of art, along with dozens of diverse pieces throughout the city, have one thing in common. They were made possible with the help of the West Palm Beach Art in Public Places program. The program was created in 1987 with the goal to create public art that encourages artistic exploration, infuses creativity into the city’s diverse neighborhoods and celebrates the city’s historical richness. The program funds art by requiring most capital improvement projects undertaken by the city that are valued at more than $750,000 to contribute one percent of the project cost to public art on site. In 2014, the ordinance was amended to require private development over $500,000 to contribute to public art. “There are over 100 cities in the country that have programs very similar to our Art in Public Places program,” says West Palm Beach’s administrator of Public Art and Culture, Sybille Welter. “Each city is different, some do exterior and interior art. We choose to do everything

It did the same in 2018 when it sponsored “Fairytale Playhouses.” These events commissioned local artists to create functional public art. They were available for display over the summer months, then auctioned for charity at the end of the event. To date, AiPP has commissioned work from 52 local artists.

in the public realm because that’s the most democratic space you can think of. Anyone can come and experience it.” Not all the art that AiPP commissions are large-scale permanent sculptures. Some are temporary and event-based. In both 2015 and 2016, AiPP sponsored the Canvas outdoor museum show that brought more than 30 international artists to West Palm Beach to paint dozens of murals around town. Some of the pieces – like the girl under the Royal Poinciana bridge by HULA, and Einstein at Subculture’s alley by Kobra
“That’s the beauty of public art. There isn’t a right or wrong, there’s just an experience,” says Welter. “Artists make choices, not only in their materials, but also in how they perceive it.” Welter offers this advise on how to take in a piece of art: “The way to appreciate art is to go back and look at a piece (again). Spend some time really looking at it and come back having a better understanding of why you either appreciate it, don’t appreciate it or find yourself somewhere in the middle.” Heeding that advise, I recently noticed something new at Elders Cove in Dreher Park. On the seven-foot-tall rootlike structures that protrude out of the lake sit lazy iguanas, soaking in the afternoon sun. The designers probably didn’t have that in mind 16 years ago. But life, like art, has surprises for everyone.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
What’s that smell? Could it be last Thanksgiving’s leftovers? My refrigerator is where cucumbers go to die. Not on purpose – I’m not a sadist – but from neglect and carelessness. Cucumbers seem like such a good idea when I buy them and such a lousy idea when it’s time to make dinner. There seem to be a lot of things in my fridge like that: They just sit there until the things that are supposed to be hard go soft, and the things that are supposed to be soft go hard. That fancy cheese that I paid twice the price of my regular cheese for is now getting rock-hard. I only bought it because they had some samples cut into little cubes with toothpicks in them. That should be illegal, because it’s misrepresentation. It doesn’t come all cut up in little cubes with toothpicks – you have to do all that yourself! Besides, it may have been the toothpick that had all the flavor, because it didn’t taste the same when I got it home. But you don’t throw out something like that. You wait until you have company, then cut it up into little cubes and make them eat it. But I haven’t had any company in months. It’s as if people don’t like the food I’m serving. So that expensive cheese may be going the way of the cucumbers. My fridge management definitely needs work. How many
times have I opened a new jar of mayonnaise only to discover that there was one already open, hiding behind the tomato juice and a container of leftover moo goo gai pan? Actually, I don’t know why I bother to put leftovers in the fridge. When I do finally open them up, I can never remember when I put them in there, or even recognize what they are. I just end up throwing them in the trash. I should just cut out the middle step of putting them in the fridge and throw them out immediately. But then I’d be wasting food, whereas now, I’m throwing out garbage. It makes me feel morally superior.
One day, I got sick of seeing the same old half-filled bottles of condiments in the door racks of the refrigerator. It was time to toss out the half-bottle of Worcester sauce that had been in there since ‘02, and that bottle of chocolate sauce we never used on ice cream because we never remembered it was in there. I found a bottle of a special type of vinegar that we bought for one specific recipe; we didn’t care for it and never used it again. It’s been in there stinking up the place for who knows how long. And how old is that shrimp cocktail sauce, or that funny-flavored salad dressing someone

told us we had to try? If your fridge is anything like mine, you’d be astounded by the age and variety of stuff that’s in there. The mustards alone: yellow mustard, brown mustard, French mustard, honey mustard, English mustard, English mustard with seeds, and many more, some of them older than your children. It’s hard to throw condiments out, too. I don’t mean emotionally hard, I mean, you can’t just pour them down the drain because the bottles are designed to drip out painfully slowly, one drop at a time. And I can’t recycle them as-is, because our town’s recycling
system requires the bottles to be empty and clean. Also, I have a septic system. What if the different vinegars and hot sauces don’t get along down there? I know what a few drops do to my stomach; what will full bottles of this stuff do to my pipes? Wasn’t it a toxic mix of things like this that created Godzilla and Mothra? The neighbors would never forgive me if I accidentally created a house-crushing monster. They already complain when Fluffy uses their lawn by mistake, so imagine the phone calls I’d get if Godzilla did that. I’d have to change my phone number. Again. You just can’t make some people happy. So, the condiments are going in the compost heap. This may finally solve my raccoon problem.

National survey shows big drop in vaping by U.S. teenagers By MIKE STOBBE and MATTHEW PERRONE AP Medical Writers
NEW YORK — Vaping by U.S. teenagers fell dramatically this year, especially among middle schoolers, according to a federal report released in September. Experts think last year’s outbreak of vaping related illnesses and deaths may have scared off some kids, but they believe other factors contributed to the drop, including higher age limits and flavor bans. In a national survey, just under 20 percent of high school students and 5 percent of middle school students said they were recent users of electronic cigarettes and other vaping products. That marks a big decline from a similar survey last year that found about 28 percent of high school students and 11 percent of middle school students recently vaped. The survey suggests that the number of school kids who vape fell by 1.8 million in a year, from 5.4 million to 3.6 million, officials said. But even as teen use declined, the report shows a big bump in use of disposable e-cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration earlier this year barred flavors from small vaping devices like Juul and others that are mainly used by minors. The policy did not apply to dispos-

In this file photo from Jan. 2, 2020, vaping devices are displayed at a store in New York. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report recently released, vaping rates among U.S. teenagers fell dramatically in 2020. The drop comes in the wake of 2019’s outbreak of vaping-related illnesses and deaths.
able e-cigarettes, which can still contain sweet, candylike flavors. “As long as any flavored e-cigarettes are left on the market, kids will get their hands on them and we will not solve this crisis,” Matt Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids said in a statement. The national survey is conducted at schools each year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and usually involves about 20,000 middle and high school students. It asks students if they had used any vaping or traditional tobacco
products in the previous month. The survey was cut short this year as schools closed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Federal health officials believe measures like public health media campaigns, price increase and sales restrictions deserve credit for the vaping decline. The age limit for sales is now 21. But they also acknowledge the outbreak probably played a part. The CDC’s Brian King said sales started falling in August – when national media coverage of the outbreak intensified. “It’s possible that some of
the heightened awareness could have influenced decline in use,” said King. By the time the outbreak was winding down early this year, more than 2,800 illnesses and 68 deaths had been reported. Most of those who got sick said they vaped solutions containing THC, the ingredient that produces a high in marijuana. CDC officials gradually focused their investigation on black market THC cartridges, and on a chemical compound called vitamin E acetate that had been added to illicit THC vaping liquids.
Kenneth Warner, a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s school of public health, said the teen vaping drop was larger than expected. “This does look like a very substantial decrease in a single year and it’s very encouraging,” said Warner, a tobacco control expert. Among the likely factors, Warner noted the general negative publicity surrounding vaping. Additionally, Juul preemptively pulled all its vaping flavors except menthol and tobacco last fall ahead of federal action. Warner and other researchers have tracked a recent decline in teen smoking to all-time lows – about 6 precent – even as vaping has increased. He said it will be critical to watch whether teen smoking begins rising again as fewer teens vape. The new figures were disclosed on the same day that all U.S. vaping manufacturers faced a long-delayed deadline to submit their products for FDA review. Generally, that means the vaping companies must show that their products help smokers reduce or quit their use of cigarettes and other tobacco products. E-cigarettes first appeared in the U.S. more than a decade ago and have grown in popularity with minimal federal regulation.

Bad boy! Dog costs Mississippi officials more than $7,000
LIBERTY, Miss. — A curious dog got hold of a fiber optic cable that ran between county buildings in Mississippi, chewing it to pieces and costing county officials thousands of dollars in an attempt to get it fixed. The cable connected a courthouse and a nearby Justice Court building in Amite County, Tim Wroten, the county’s sheriff, told the Enterprise-Journal in August. The wire was mostly elevated but dipped to the ground by the front door of the Justice Court building, where the dog chewed it. The culprit was not caught in the act, but officials saw “his running mate” through the security camera, Wroten said. The sheriff has a suspect in mind but lacks evidence to hold up his charge. If officials knew who the troublemaker was, the county could seek damages, which amounts to more than $7,000, from the owner, according to Wroten. His office first spent $4,000 to establish two antennae that send signals to the cables, but it failed. County supervisors then voted to spend an additional $3,600 to get a new cable. Amite County Justice Court Judge Roger Arnold said it’s his first time hearing a case like this. “I did hear the suspect was still at large,” he quipped.
Contraband-laden drone snags in prison net; 2 arrested
JACKSON, Miss. — A drone carrying marijuana got caught in a net above a Mississippi prison fence, resulting in the arrest of two men, state corrections officials said. John Travis Ross, 33, of Vicksburg and Joshua Ray Corban, 18, of Utica, made court appearances in September on charges of conspiracy and attempting to smuggle contraband into the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl. The two were identified after Rankin County sheriff’s investigators traced the drone’s flights – and then investigators turned up security video of them launching the drone, officials said. Corrections Commissioner Burl Cain said the two confessed. The drone carried 2 ounces of marijuana buds, a cellphone, phone chargers, headphones and several cigarette lighters. “They tried to use the drone to help their friends – now it’s going to help us,” Cain said, adding that officials plan to reprogram it to use at the state’s maximum-security prison.
You’ve goat to be kidding: Farm animal eats up police papers
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — A Georgia sheriff’s deputy deliver-
ing civil papers returned to her patrol vehicle to find an eager – and hungry – new driver. The Douglas County deputy was serving the documents near Douglasville in early September when she heard something in her patrol car and was met by a goat climbing into the open driver’s side. The animal clamored around, munched on some paperwork and knocked over a drink before managing to bump the deputy to the ground. The sheriff’s office explained in a Facebook post that the deputy often leaves the door open on such calls in case she has to make a quick escape from aggressive dogs – but she never considered having to retreat from an agitated goat. Officials said the deputy was not physically harmed during the encounter – and she managed to retrieve the soggy paperwork before the animal scampered off.
St. Louis Zoo says python laid 7 eggs without male help
is unusual but not rare for ball pythons to reproduce asexually. The snakes also sometimes store sperm for delayed fertilization. The birth also is unusual because ball pythons usually stop laying eggs long before they reach their 60s, Wanner said. “She’d definitely be the oldest snake we know of in history,” to lay eggs, Wanner said, noting the she is the oldest snake ever documented in a zoo. The python, which has not been given a name, laid the eggs July 23. Three of the eggs remain in an incubator, two were used for genetic sampling and snakes in the other two eggs did not survive, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The eggs that survive should hatch in about a month. The genetic sampling will show whether the eggs were reproduced sexually or asexually, called facultative parthenogenesis.
ST. LOUIS — Experts at the St. Louis Zoo are trying to figure out how a 62-year-old ball python laid seven eggs despite not being near a male python for at least two decades. Mark Wanner, manager of herpetology at the zoo, said it

And the apparitions might enjoy learning about local history. “Many things have happened” at the Hernando Heritage Museum, according to the report, “including hearing a child cry when no child was around and seeing orbs and mists on digital cameras.” The museum boasts of these hauntings with ghost tours. Those structures share a common theme, said Lakeland’s Miki Strange – her real last name – a paranormal investigator with Tampa Bay Spirits. “They are historic buildings.” Spirits, she said, become attached to a building but move on when it is torn down. That might explain why the odds of seeing a ghost in Florida are low. “Florida has a history of tearing down the old to make way for the new,” Strange said. Still, like Alderman, she was surprised Ybor with its historic structures did not make the list, especially the Cuban Club, which is said to be haunted. “To me, that shows the data is skewed,” Strange said. Alderman has investigated the Cuban Club with a local ghost-hunting team. She said the spirit of a boy lives in the basement cantina and “I could hear people walking around the second floor and the ballroom. “I’ve done this all over the world and can say I feel the most energy in Ybor.”

ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. — A 150-pound tortoise who escaped from a Tennessee home has been returned after 74 days, managing to make it less than a mile during his slow and steady journey. More than two months after the African Sulcata Tortoise named Soloman crawled away from his Ashland City enclosure, he was discovered just an eighth of a mile away from home, his owner, Lynn Cole, said. Cole said a man and his son spotted Solomon grazing in a valley at a construction site and returned him within minutes. “I guess that we will never know the full details of Solomon’s great adventure and how he managed to elude us all for so long,” Cole said. “No matter his traveled course or intent, thanks to the gentleman and his son who happened to be driving by at that moment, Solomon is now safely at home and, as such, so much joy has been returned to our family.”
Odds of seeing a ghost in Florida is low
a population of 983,000, for instance, is why the odds of seeing a ghost in the Sunshine State are the worst. Delaware ranks 45th on the list. Texas had the most sightings with 7,099, with a population of 29,472,295, placing it at No. 22 on the list. The following are some of the Tampa Bay area spots that made Florida’s list: Ghosts apparently like watching movies in Tampa.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You feel like you’re not getting satisfaction from this situation. Other people and interests seem to be more than attracted to whatever you’re selling. Maybe it’s time to direct your energy where it’s appreciated. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) Forging ahead, be mindful of the ones who have come along for the ride. Don’t be surprised if others have a hard time adjusting to the fact that they have to peddle twice as fast just to keep up with you. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) You can’t expect things to move forward like clockwork. In case you haven’t noticed, you just went through the mill. Common sense would seem to suggest that it will take time to pick yourself up and start over again. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You can take advantage of this or ignore the opportunity. Even a whiff of doubt about whether you can handle it and it could all fly south. If you decide to go for it, make sure you know what you’re doing.
Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) By the time someone figures out what they want from you, you could be on to something else. You deserve a second look but what it will get you? Don’t wait around or give this more time than it warrants. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Part of you wants to stay close to home and another part wants to fly right over the edge. The pull between the two impulses makes it hard to stay balanced. Don’t make a move until you know what you want. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) No one knows what’s going on with you. Don’t give anyone permission to advise you on a situation that only you understand. Their investment in your choices should give you pause to question their motives. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) This isn’t as complicated as it looks. Once you decide what you can live with your choices will be clearer. There are no limits to what you can do by the way; it’s totally OK to redefine and reinvent absolutely everything.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Don’t count on justice to prevail. You expect more from things than realism would allow. What makes you think people who profit off dishonesty have any interest in upholding the truth? Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) You have done as much as you can. What happens next will be determined by people and prospects who have yet to voice their opinion. Once you know what the deal is you can decide if you want to continue with this. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) Quick changes will demand that you remain focused on what it takes to get them to happen. Be patient and flexible. Staying organized will include the need to accept that your plans are bound to get altered. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) If life’s uncertainties have ceased to amaze you it’s because you’ve seen it all lately: nothing surprises you anymore. At this point it’s hard for you to locate yourself in the midst of this sea of unpredictability.
