Apple nachos? It’s a trend for sure - taking classic

just some 

thoughts 

Louise Bruderle 

Editor and Publisher 

So here we are—a first ever all-digital West Coast Woman. 

Call it the WCW e-edition, WCW e-zine or the WCW flip book. 

It truly feels strange, but also…I kinda like it. No worrying 

about drivers, delivery trucks, wondering about the weather, 

press delays or if the colors in the ads will be printed carefully. 

The downside? No tangible paper to hold and turn. No 

watching the old guys at the Y reading WCW page after page. 

No going to events and handing them out. I could also add less 

revenue, but there are businesses suffering a lot more. 

You’re reading this on your desktop in your home or office 

(which these days might be one and the same) or on your smartphone 

or iPad. Like the print version, you can flip back and 

forth, forwards and backwards and save as long as you want. 

Unlike the print version, you can download the “paper” and 

print it all, or print a single page, and, you can even forward it 

to friends by using a link. Here’s hoping in October we can do 

print AND the flip book. But for now, this is a good stand-in. 

This month: Honoring 

the Heroes at Sarasota 

Memorial Hospital 

This month’s cover was an easy choice: the 

folks who save lives and help us get better: 

The heroes at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. 

Sarasota Memorial Health Care System—our 

hospital—is an 839-bed regional 

medical center. It has almost 7,000 staff and 

is Sarasota County’s largest employer. The 

hospital’s Medical Staff includes more than 

1,400 providers who represent 60 specialties. 

Advice from Sarasota Memorial: “The best 

thing we can do as a community is to stay 

informed and take common-sense precautions 

to guard against this and other viruses: 

mask use, hand hygiene, physical distancing 

and staying home when you’re sick. Wearing a face covering 

— ideally a mask — is recommended when you may come in 

close contact (6 feet or less) with someone from outside your 

household, especially for a prolonged period (10-15 minutes or 

more) and especially indoors.” 

Special thanks to Kim Savage, PIO/Spokesperson at Sarasota 

Memorial Health Care System for getting WCW the images. And 

heartfelt thanks to all of you who work at SMH! We LOVE you! 

Coming Up in Sarasota 

Stay tuned. Evolving. Paused. I’m reading those words a lot. 

Arts organizations understandably are trying to keep some 

sort of performance schedule, albeit with adjustments. But 

since June, WCW has received releases that have shown July 

events canceled, August events canceled, September events 

canceled. A few October events are hanging out there with 

hope. Some November events are on. But not all. 

Others have taken their remaining 2020 events online (such 

as The Sarasota Ballet and the Sarasota Opera), and some 

have pushed their season to 2021 and scrapped 2020. 

As tragically sad as this is, I also have gotten numerous 

releases about individual donors, the state, foundations and 

other sources providing funds to keep nonprofits going. 

Here are just a few of the stories of generosity I want 

to share… 

L to R: Trish Newman, LWRWC Philanthropy Co-Chair 

with her “ambassador” dog Wrigley, and Helene Levin and 

Cheryl Breining, LWRWC Co-Presidents. 

■ Example One: 

In August, Lakewood Ranch Women’s Club (LWRWC) donated 

$3,000 in cash and donations, including 35 backpacks filled 

with school supplies and a check for $1,800 to HOPE Family 

Services (HOPE) in Manatee County. 

LWRWC held a Backpack Challenge for HOPE to provide 

children at the domestic violence shelter with backpacks filled 

with school supplies. Donors dropped off filled backpacks at 

designated homes and/or sent money. 

The donations were delivered to the shelter by Women’s Club 

members: LWRWC Philanthropy Co-Chair Trish Newman, and 

LWRWC Co-Presidents Helene Levin and Cheryl Breining. 

There were 24 children at the shelter who started school and 

will attend their classes virtually due to the pandemic. With 

a donation of 35 backpacks, the shelter has reserves for kids 

coming to HOPE over the next few months. The LWRWC donation 

also funded critically needed food and cleaning supplies 

to ensure a healthy and safe environment for families at HOPE. 

HOPE assists those whose lives have been affected by domestic 

violence. They offer victims and survivors of domestic 

violence services including Emergency Safe Shelter, advocacy, 

counseling, children’s services, and specialized programs. 

For HOPE, visit www.hopefamilyservice.org. For LWRWC, 

visit www.lwrwc.org. 

■ Example Two: 

All Faiths Food Bank received matching gifts through the Joe 

and Mary Kay Henson Family Fund and an anonymous donor 

through Community Foundation of Sarasota County totaling 

$600,000. 

Hunger has been 

an ongoing problem 

in our region for many 

years, but COVID-19 has 

exacerbated the need, 

leaving many families 

with uncertain futures. 

Of that, $500,000 

came from the Joe 

and Mary Kay Henson 

Family Fund and an 

anonymous donor from 

Joe and Mary Kay Henson 

the Community Foundation 

of Sarasota County was inspired to give an additional 

$100,000, adding up to $600,000. 

“We are a family fund devoted to supporting the needs of 

children and adults living in poverty. The currently unemployed 

are a vital part of our community and key to our 

economic well-being,” said Joe and Mary Kay Henson. “This 

virus is not going away any time soon … and what All Faiths 

Food Bank is doing is tremendously vital for these families 

and children. The entire community has to rally around to 

support and protect families during the ongoing crisis.” 

Since the pandemic ramped up in March, All Faiths has 

seen an overall increase in need of approximately 120%, with 

new clients increasing nearly 45%. The demand for food will 

remain critically high for a long time to come as people continue 

to face significant financial strain. 

“In order for those most affected by the crisis to have hope 

for rebuilding their lives, their basic need for food must be 

met,” said All Faiths Food Bank CEO Sandra Frank. 

Contact All Faiths at allfaithsfoodbank.org or call 941- 

379-6333. 

■ Example Three: 

“This year has called for sustained action to strengthen our 

most vulnerable systems and the people they help,” says Teri 

A Hansen, president and CEO of Barancik Foundation. “Humanitarian 

efforts are being pushed to their limit. Yet, we are 

hopeful that positives will emerge as we all reimagine ways to 

serve our community.” 

Together with its donors and Charles & Margery Barancik 

Foundation, Gulf Coast Community Foundation has awarded 

over $2.7 million in direct grants to nonprofit organizations 

for COVID-19 relief. 

That total includes more than $1.1 million funded from 

the COVID-19 Response Initiative, a joint initiative of Gulf Coast 

and Barancik Foundation to support immediate and long-term 

needs in the region arising from the coronavirus pandemic. 

Grants are funding services including virtual mental-health 

counseling for children and for veterans, childcare 

for first responders, and food and financial assistance for 

displaced hospitality workers, foster families, and others. 

Additionally, donors to Gulf Coast have directed nearly $1 

million in grants from their donor funds at the foundation for 

COVID-19 impacts locally and beyond. 

■ Harvest House 

Here are some of the recipients: Harvest House, which 

provides housing for Sarasota County residents overcoming 

homelessness or addiction. A grant to buy laptop computers 

for staff is allowing case managers to continue counseling residents 

remotely, while their desktop computers have been repurposed 

for safe use by those same clients for job searching. 

Then there’s CenterPlace Health, which offers primary 

healthcare to Medicaid patients, received funds to quickly 

transition to a telehealth model. “Telehealth will allow us to 

continue providing care to all of our patients—especially 

our pregnant moms and babies,” said Melissa Parker, president 

and CEO of CenterPlace Health, which cares mostly for 

women and children. 

A grant to SKY Family YMCA has enabled it to offer 

professional childcare to emergency responders and other 

essential healthcare personnel. These front-line workers have 

seen demand for their services increase at the same time 

that school closures leave them with no safe place for their 

children during the day. 

Other recipients include: Tidewell Hospice, Easterseals 

Southwest Florida, First Step of Sarasota, Florida Center for 

Early Childhood, Tri-County Counseling and Life Skills Center, 

Family Network on Disabilities, Good Samaritan Pharmacy 

& Health Services, Operation Warrior Resolution, Goodwill 

Manasota, CareerEdge, CareerSource Suncoast. Women’s 

Resource Center, Gulfcoast Legal Services, Capital Good 

Fund, The Salvation Army of Sarasota, Meals on Wheels of 

Sarasota, All Faiths Food Bank, Harvest House, SPARCC (Safe 

Place and Rape Crisis Center), The New College Foundation, 

Family Promise of South Sarasota County, HOPE for North 

Port, UnidosNow, Laurel Civic Association, The TWIG Cares, 

Early Learning Coalition of Florida’s Heartland, Children 

First, Education Foundation of Sarasota County, Suncoast 

Technical College, First Responders, Boys & Girls Clubs of 

Sarasota County, Denise Amber Lee Foundation, Boys & Girls 

Clubs of Sarasota County, Teen Court of Sarasota, Big Brothers 

Big Sisters of the Suncoast and Safe Children Coalition. 

■ Example 4: 

JFCS of the Suncoast has disbursed $475,727 since April to 

families in Sarasota and Manatee counties experiencing 

financial hardship resulting from COVID-19. JFCS established 

the JFCS COVID-19 Emergency Hardship Fund in late March. 

A $250,000 lead gift from the Louis & Gloria Flanzer Philanthropic 

Trust initially funded the program. 

“During their lifetimes, Gloria and Lou Flanzer strongly 

believed in JFCS’ mission to support people in need. JFCS has 

shown leadership during this unprecedented time and, as 

members of our community, we are grateful that their efforts 

have offered critical support to so many,” said Eric Kaplan, 

Flanzer Trust co-trustee. 

The JFCS COVID-19 Emergency Hardship Fund has provided 

assistance to more than 350 families for rent, utilities, 

transportation, food and other basic needs.

Veronica Brandon Miller with Preferred Shore Real Estate 

"A woman alone has power; collectively, 

we have impact.” 

"A woman alone has power; collectively, we have impact," Veronica Brandon 

Miller states. "You don't do business with a company; you do business with 

people you like and trust." That's why Veronica decided to build a team of 

strong, smart, and talented women to collaborate with. 

Veronica recently joined the Altier Group with Preferred Shore, which already 

consisted of two strong women; Abigail Altier and Cozette Lillard. However, 

Veronica wanted to create a bigger circle to create a one-stop shop to help 

home buyers and sellers. 

"You are judged by the company you keep, and so I selected women who I 

admire and who also have demonstrated the same compassion I have for our 

wonderful community." 

Veronica has more than 30 years of creative vision and unparalleled expertise 

in community engagement, philanthropy, branding, and marketing. In fact, 

she personally has received many community awards—including the Sarasota 

Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Impact in Action’ award for her leadership in 

helping the community. 

Prior to joining the real estate world, she served as senior vice president for 

Goodwill Industries. She created multiple programs and initiatives that were 

duplicated around the globe with stellar success. Veronica notes that, of her 

local achievements, she is proudest of the award-winning Veterans Services 

Program and Community Ambassador Program – which has engaged more 

than 10,000 supporters – as well as her ability to leverage more than 330 

collaborations in the community. 

"Helping people has always been my passion. Now I am honored to help 

people with what is possibly the largest investment in their lifetime: a home." 

Veronica demonstrates her love of the community by supporting numerous 

charities and currently serves on the boards for Paws & Warriors, Leadership 

Manatee Alumni Association, and the Leadership Sarasota Alumni Association. 

She has also served on the boards for the Sarasota Parks Foundation, Glasser/ 

Schoenbaum Human Services Center, Pines Foundation, Project 180, Child 

Protection Center, the McKay Academy, and the All-Star Children's 

Foundation. 

Originally from Philadelphia, Pa., Miller earned her bachelor's degree in 

Marketing from Boston University and her master's degree in Business from the 

University of Maryland.

At The Ringling 

On exhibit: 

• Howie Tsui: Retainers of Anarchy 

to November 29. Vancouver-based 

artist Howie Tsui’s solo exhibition, 

Retainers of Anarchy, is an 

amalgamation of martial arts characters 

and techniques woven together 

with threads of social and political 

realities of present-day Hong Kong. 

Presented as a non-linear counter 

narrative in the form of hand-drawn 

animation, Retainers of Anarchy offers 

an opportunity to reflect on 

notions of identity and nationhood 

using Hong Kong’s past and more 

recent surge of political unrest. 

• Being Seen: Recent Acquisitions 

from The Ringling Photography 

Collection runs to January 3. This 

exhibition features works by photographers 

who examine the complexities 

of identity and the staging 

of selfhood. Consisting primarily of 

self-portraits and portraits of empowered 

subjects, these works explore 

personal agency at the intersection 

of politics and the female body. 

Many of the artists in the exhibition 

are recognized as leading 

voices in contemporary art and 

offer diverse perspectives on issues 

surrounding power, sexuality, and 

self-representation. Being Seen also 

includes numerous works by significant 

women photographers from the 

twentieth century, added to the collection 

in recent years.The John and

The USF Contemporary Art 

Museum, part of the USF Institute 

for Research in Art in the College of 

The Arts, has a new exhibition, The 

Neighbors: Slide Shows for America, 

featuring photographic slideshows 

by artists Widline Cadet, Guy Greenberg, 

Curran Hatleberg, Kathya 

Maria Landeros, and Zora J Murff, 

curated by CAM’s Curator-at-Large 

Christian Viveros-Fauné. 

Amid a polarizing 2020 election 

season and an evolving COVID-19 

pandemic, each participating camera 

artist has been commissioned to 

create a slideshow of underexposed 

communities in the United States. 

For this show, less is more: the photographic 

portfolios installed at the 

USF Contemporary Art Museum 

are displayed using traditional slide 

carousels, to evoke the intimacy of 

family and community slide shows 

of another age. 

The exhibition is available to view 

online at cam.usf.edu. USFCAM remains 

closed. After USF reopens, reservations 

will be required to visit 

CAM, and details will be available on 

cam.usf.edu at that time. 

The University of South Florida 

Contemporary Art Museum (USF- 

CAM) organizes and presents exhibitions 

of contemporary art from Florida, 

the United States, and around the 

world, including Africa, Europe, and 

Latin America. The exhibit runs to 

December 7. 

t 

Boca Raton Museum of Art: 

• Eye to I: Self Portraits from the 

National Portrait Gallery. Eye to I is 

especially appropriate in the age of 

the “selfie.” Organized and drawn 

from the collection of the Smithsonian’s 

National Portrait Gallery, this 

exhibition explores how American 

artists have portrayed themselves 

through painting, drawing, photography, 

and video since the beginning 

of the 20th century. Artists in the exhibition 

approach self-representation 

from realist renderings to alter-egos 

that can reveal or obfuscate their 

inner lives. Runs to September 20. 

t 

• Jeff Whyman: Out of Nature runs 

October 7-January 3, 2021. Whyman 

ceramics are inspired by nature 

including the shells he collects. His 

vessels, teapots, and plates retain a 

semblance of function but are really 

sculptures. His spouts are twisted, 

his vases sage and tilt, and his plates 

are rife with lumpy accretions. 

Whyman acknowledges the influence 

of the renowned ceramicist 

Peter Voulkos who elevated the 

medium of clay to fine art, and with 

whom he worked for ten years at his 

Berkeley, California studio. 

Unlike Voulkos who added and 

subtracted elements of his pieces 

over time, Whyman creates his works 

all in one moment while the clay is 

still wet. He uses the wheel to throw 

his vessels and spontaneously adds 

materials as sea glass, Chinese crystals, 

mineral oxides, metal nails, and 

wood ash to make forms that call to 

mind rock formations and what one 

might find on the ocean floor.

At Tampa Museum 

of Art: 

• Frank Stella: Illustrations 

after El Lissitzky’s 

Had Gadya from the 

Collection of BNY Mellon. 

On view through 

September 27, 2020. 

Frank Stella created 

the series Illustrations 

after El Lissitzky’s Had 

Gadya (1984) after seeing 

artist El Lissitzky’s 

artwork at the Tel Aviv 

Museum of Art. 

Between 1917 and 

1919, Lissitzky (Russian, 

1890-1941) completed 

imagery for a children’s 

book of “Had Gadya”, 

an allegorical song sung 

at the close of the Passover 

Seder. Lissitzky’s 

modernist interpretation 

of the traditional 

song highlighted the 

influence of the Russian 

avant-garde in his work, 

as he depicted characters and scenes 

in “Had Gadya” with abstract forms 

and interlocking geometric shapes. 

Inspired by Lissitzky’s “Had 

Gadya”, Stella produced a suite of 

prints corresponding to the artist’s 

imagery. Rather than re-interpret the 

song, Stella responded to Lissitzky’s 

abstractions with his own signature 

vibrant palette and curvilinear gestures. 

The exhibition features Stella’s 

complete portfolio of twelve prints, 

each unique in technique and color.

• Everyday Women. On view 

through January 9, 2022. In celebration 

of the 100th anniversary of 

women’s suffrage, the Tampa Museum 

of Art presents a series of exhibitions 

focused on the achievements 

of women in the arts and explores 

the story of women in the ancient 

world through the depictions of 

goddesses, heroines, mythological 

characters, and everyday women in 

the Museum’s collection of classical 

antiquities.

The Players Inc has been around

At The 

Bishop 

Small Wonders: 

Insects in Focus at The 

Bishop runs to October 

20. Insects inhabit 

every domain of our 

daily lives, performing 

essential functions that 

balance our ecosystem 

on Earth — functions 

that often go unnoticed 

because of their small 

size or scale. Now, 

using cutting-edge 

technology and custom 

methods that put tiny 

insects on a human 

scale, artist and photographer 

Bob Sober 

allows visitors to see 

the patterns, textures, 

colors and details that 

have always been present, but too 

small to appreciate 

Creating human-scale images of 

insects, with resolution so high that 

every hair, dimple and tiny structure 

is clearly revealed, was impossible 

prior to the technological advancements 

of the past 10 years. Sober’s 

skills allow us to see the intersection 

of natural science and art in the 

smooth metallic finishes and heavily 

stippled textures, strange body 

shapes, delicate wing structures and 

beautifully engineered body components 

in this series of 30 images that 

will are on display in the Museum’s 

second-floor Rincon Gallery and 

throughout the Museum. 

The exhibition runs through 

October 20. The Bishop Museum of 

Science and Nature, 201 10th St. W, 

Bradenton 

In addition, The Bishop’s special 

exhibition of Myakka River: A Florida 

Treasure continues through 

Sept. 6 in the Museum’s first-floor 

East Gallery. Featuring dozens of 

evocative black-and-white photos of 

the Myakka River by renowned landscape 

photographer Clyde Butcher, 

this special exhibition is also included 

with admission. For more than 20 

years, Clyde Butcher has explored the 

deeper regions of Myakka and spent 

seasons experiencing its changes and 

its diverse ecosystems. Designated as 

a Florida Wild and Scenic River, the 

tannic waters flow through bottomland 

swamp and freshwater marsh 

spilling into lakes and sinkholes. 

Did you know that The Bishop has 

Florida’s premier astronomy 

dome and projection system? They 

upgraded to the Digistar 6 system 

during their temporary closure this 

spring and the new system provides 

images that are even more clear and 

vivid, and have even greater depth 

to them. It also has state-of-the-art 

software that allows them to take 

you on immersive journeys to the far 

reaches of the cosmos. 

Right now, they’re featuring Flight 

Through Our Solar System, a 

10-minute narrated tour that begins 

at the sun then travels through our 

solar system — including the asteroid 

belt — past Pluto and the other 

outer planets, until you arrive at the 

icy outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt 

t 

and the Oort Cloud, located on the 

outer fringe of the solar system. 

Planetarium Manager Howard 

Hochhalter also offers virtual journeys 

through space that you can join 

from home: 

• Every Tuesday at noon: Join Howard 

on Facebook as he previews stars

Farmer’s Markets 

The Sarasota Farmers Market 

is open on Saturdays with normal 

hours of 7 am-1 pm, rain or shine. 

You’ll notice that vendors are spread 

out 10-15 feet apart from one another 

to make more room to socially 

distance yourself as you shop. In 

order to achieve this, you’ll notice 

that they’ve spread the vendors 

onto State and First Streets, as well 

as on to Lemon. Be sure to also support 

those vendors that are on State 

and First Streets during your trip to 

the market. Signage and arrows on 

the ground will direct the foot traffic 

flow. Masks are mandatory. The city 

of Sarasota has partnered with The 

Market to give away free masks while 

supplies last. 

t 

Venice Farmers Market has 

summer hours: Saturdays 8am to 

noon, April through September. 

Winter hours: Saturdays 8am to 1pm, 

October through March. The Venice 

Farmers Market is located at Venice 

City Hall, 401 W. Venice Avenue. 

Face coverings will be required for 

those visiting the Market. If customers 

do not have a face covering, cloth 

masks will be provided for them by 

the Market, while supplies last. 

Market staff and vendors have 

gone to great lengths to create a 

CDC compliant and safe socially 

distanced outdoor shopping experience 

for the community. All staff 

and vendors wear masks and gloves 

and sanitizing stations are available. 

Their plan complies with all federal, 

state and local guidelines for food 

and personal safety. 

The Market’s summer vendors 

are offering produce, fresh baked 

goods including breads, pies, bagels 

and pretzels, wild-caught seafood, 

Florida-grown mushrooms, boutique 

cheeses, locally roasted coffee, kettle 

corn, hand crafted soap, essential oils, 

nursery plants and fresh cut flowers. 

In addition, local artists will be at the 

market offering award-winning photography, 

unique clay art and jewelry, 

hand-designed clothing for children 

and adults, and much more. 

During the construction of the 

new Fire Station 1 and expansion of 

Venice City Hall, the Farmers Market 

has relocated out of the parking 

lot but is still operating at City Hall. 

The Market will set up on W. Venice 

Avenue between Harbor Drive and

embraced by professional 

companies throughout the world.

The Great Outdoors 

At Benderson Park 

• Park visitors are reminded to 

practice safe social distancing, to 

remain home if they have any signs 

of illness, and to wash their hands 

regularly with soap and water. All 

park restrooms remain open, and an 

amplified cleaning schedule remains 

in place. High-contact areas and 

touch points continue to be regularly 

disinfected throughout the day. 

• The Ronald A. Balducci Playground 

is open during regular park 

hours (6 a.m.-8 p.m.), but hour-long 

closures at 8 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. 

allow crews to clean playground 

equipment. 

• As a reminder, only electric 

boat motors are authorized in our 

waters; gas motors must be raised to

A new Canopy Zone feature is 

now open at Manatee County’s Robinson 

Preserve, allowing visitors 

to experience nature from a fresh 

perspective while exploring amidst 

the treetops. 

Situated at the edge of the historic 

Reasoner Tract at Robinson Preserve 

South, the Canopy Zone is nestled 

among century-old botanical giants 

that once formed the test plot 

for Royal Palm Nurseries. Follow 

the boardwalk as it extends past 

the Mosaic Center for Nature, Exploration, 

Science and Technology (the 

NEST) and find yourself climbing 

t 

among the limbs and leaves. 

Thanks to careful planning, the 

Canopy Zone was built amongst the 

existing trees, allowing for a densely 

shaded environment and a cool experience 

to combat the summer heat. 

The boardwalk features LED lighting 

allowing it to be used for staff-guided 

evening programs for the public and 

permitted special events. 

The compact, two-story structure 

is filled with adventure park elements 

including a series of boardwalks, 

rope bridges, climbing nets, 

and slides. Crawl through the net 

tube to catch a bird’s-eye view of the 

newly built waterways of the Robinson 

Preserve Expansion or climb the 

tower, zigzagging through platforms 

to top and then take the spiral slide 

all the way to the understory loop 

on the forest floor. While some of 

the more challenging elements are 

recommended for ages 5 and older, 

all ages and abilities are welcome on 

the accessible tree-top boardwalk 

loop that emerges overlooking the 

Robinson Preserve Expansion, complete 

with mounted binoculars for 

viewing the wading birds and other 

wildlife within the preserve. 

The project complements the 

ongoing habitat restoration on 135 

acres located at the expansion area 

of Robinson Preserve to enhance 

fisheries habitat and install native 

plants. Additional amenities are also 

being constructed including new 

pavilions, restrooms, kayak storage 

tubes, benches and trailside shade 

structures. These habitat and amenity 

improvements are expected to be 

completed and re-open this winter. 

The Canopy Zone is open to the 

public the same hours as Robinson 

Preserve, sunrise to sunset seven 

days a week. Parking can be found 

near the NEST which can be reached 

from the preserve’s South Entrance 

at the end of 9th Avenue Northwest.

Sarasota Opera has changes to 

Fall Season: 

• Due to the uncertainty of being able 

to gather safely in a theater in November, 

Sarasota Opera is cancelling 

the scheduled mainstage production 

of Mozart’s Don Giovanni and the 

Sarasota Youth Opera production 

of The Hobbit. The “Night in Italy” 

concert, scheduled for November 7, 

and the Concert at Noon scheduled

The Taste of Downtown event scheduled 

for September 26 will also not be

ways to continue this important Youth 

Opera Fundraiser in another form. 

Sarasota Opera’s fall season will 

consist of concerts utilizing resident 

artists. A concert with singers 

and piano on stage at the Sarasota 

Opera House will be live-streamed

scheduled to be held on October 25, 

subject to prevailing conditions. In 

addition, Sarasota Opera hopes to

The Board of Directors of the 

Anna Maria Island Concert 

Chorus & Orchestra (AMICCO) has 

decided to postpone Symphony on 

the Sand until 2021. In its eighth 

season, Symphony on the Sand has 

traditionally occurred on Anna 

Maria Island’s Coquina Beach on 

the second Saturday each November. 

Recognized as one of the region’s 

premier musical events, it has 

been well-attended by over 4,000 

people annually. 

“Central to the conversation has 

been the health and well-being of 

everyone involved in the production 

of Symphony on the Sand. Many 

organizations and individuals work 

closely together to ensure that every 

performance is successful and 

better than the last. The rehearsal 

time invested by our musicians, 

chorus members, and guest artists, 

along with the planning time of our 

service providers and volunteers, 

requires hours of commitment. 

AMICCO deeply values the relationships 

created with our community 

partners and as such we feel that 

moving forward with Symphony 

on the Sand 2020 would put all 

involved at increased and unnecessary 

risk.” For more information 

contact info@amicco.org. 

Due to COVID-19 Ear Research 

Foundation postponed its March 29, 

2020, Hear & Now and All That Jazz 

events. The dinner and concert will

planned, will feature music legends 

Dick Hyman and David Amram. Hyman 

and Amram, performing together 

for the first time, will share each of 

their six decades creating a wide variety 

of music and working alongside 

a long list of renowned artists. 

The evening will include a 

pre-show dinner, concert, and 

afterparty in the courtyard 

featuring Dr. Herbert Silverstein’s 

jazz group, The Ear-iginals. For

Local non-profit organization, 

Realize Bradenton, is planning to 

t 

proceed in December with their 

outdoor Blues music event, the 

Bradenton Blues Festival, but they 

are changing their venue due to the 

COVID-19 pandemic. 

The outdoor music event is expected 

to take place on December 4, and 

5, but it will not be held its normal 

location on the Riverwalk. The event 

will now take place at LECOM Park, 

the spring training home for the 

Pittsburgh Pirates. 

Organizers of the event say the 

main reason for changing the venue 

is because the park has a seating 

capacity of 7,500 and for an event 

that is expected to have over 1,100 

people in attendance they believe 

that continuing to practice social 

distancing in an outdoor environment 

is achievable. 

Friday Blues Appetizer evening 

event will be limited to 500 attendees 

and tickets are required. At the Saturday 

Bradenton Blues Festival event 

600 tickets are available. mTo purchase 

tickets, visit: mhttps://www. 

bradentonbluesfestival.org/ 

A week before the festival, ticket 

buyers will receive an email regarding 

festival parking, will call, seating 

assignments, and the health and 

safety procedures all attendees are 

expected to follow. Any questions, 

email blues@RealizeBradenton.com. 

The Sarasota Ballet has made 

changes to its 30th Anniversary 

Season. The fall season will occur 

as specially devised and purposely 

filmed programs that will be 

streamed to ticket buyers and will 

replace in-theater performances for 

the first 3 programs of its 30th Anniversary 

Season. 

The decision to do so has been 

made in order to safeguard audience 

members, dancers, and 

staff from the ongoing COVID-19 

pandemic, while also allowing the 

Company to continue to perform 

so that the audience will be able to 

experience remarkable ballets this 

coming Season. 

Additionally, the streamed performances 

will include extra features to 

bring audience members behind the 

scenes with special guest interviews 

and rehearsal clips, and a look into 

the process of a world premiere. The 

three programs will be released to 

ticket holders at approximately the 

same dates that the three in-theater 

programs were scheduled to open. 

The ballets will be filmed with multiple 

cameras to ensure audiences 

can see every aspect of the performance. 

These programs will then be 

emailed to ticket holders, who can 

watch the performance at their leisure 

over a period of time. 

Full programming details for the 

October, November, and December 

programs will be announced in the 

future. Subscribers who currently 

have tickets for the first three programs 

of The Sarasota Ballet’s 30th 

Anniversary Season will be contacted 

shortly regarding their ticketing 

options. Info: visit https://www.

women’s health 

Women’s Wellness 

Is a 12 Month Commitment 

The new year serves as a 

reminder to women to make 

their health a priority and 

build positive health habits 

for life. As women we should 

be thinking about our health 365 days 

a year. Intimate issues such as urinary 

incontinence, sexual dysfunction and 

pelvic pain can be hard to discuss. 

I want to remind you that no issue is 

too little or too big to talk about when 

it is bothersome to you. As women, we 

often compare ourselves to a friend, a 

neighbor or a family member and forget 

that we are all unique, we all individuals 

and it’s personal. Your health is a lifelong 

journey. It’s not always easy to take steps 

to discuss intimate health issues. 

Every woman needs to focus on her 

own approach. Every woman needs a 

purpose and to find her own motivation. 

If you, like many other women, 

have difficulty with urinary incontinence, 

sexual dysfunction and/or pelvic 

pain or if you want to learn more, see 

me, Casie Wodzien, Nurse Practitioner, 

at the Urology Treatment Center. 

I specialize in the treatment of women’s 

urological health issues and would 

be happy to help you at our Sarasota or 

Lakewood Ranch office. When you think 

about pink, remember you are unique and 

your health matters every single day of 

the year. Your urological issues are not too 

little or too big to discuss. Women’s wellness 

and awareness always work together. 

Many people are surprised to learn 

that urology covers a wide range of 

conditions for both men and women. In 

addition to treating the male reproductive 

system, urologists treat diseases and 

conditions in the kidneys, bladder, and 

urinary tract – all of which affect both 

genders in all stages of life. 

Women may experience urological 

health issues that are unique to their 

anatomy. While numerous urological 

conditions can affect women of all ages 

for a variety of reasons, childbirth, menopause 

or a hysterectomy can alter the 

body in ways that could lead to conditions 

including pelvic floor weakness, 

overactive bladder or inflammation of 

the bladder wall (interstitial cystitis). 

Fortunately, most conditions are highly 

treatable, especially when caught early. 

• Urinary Tract Infections/Bladder 

Infections – Most women will 

develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) at 

some point in their lives. The infection 

develops when bacteria enter the urinary 

tract. Women with a UTI may have pain 

or burning when they urinate. They may 

also feel a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, 

but then have trouble urinating. 

PAID ADVERTORIAL 

UTIs can be serious, but 

they also can be treated 

with antibiotics. 

• Overactive Bladder 

(OAB) – OAB is a condition 

recognized by symptoms 

including urinary 

urgency, frequent urination, 

waking up at least 

twice a night to urinate or 

urge incontinence (leakage 

of urine). Treatments 

range from medication or 

nerve stimulation to Botox 

injections or surgery. At least 30 million 

Americans suffer from overactive 

bladder. 

• Urinary Leakage/Incontinence 

– Millions of women experience involuntary 

loss of urine, called urinary incontinence. 

The condition affects all ages and 

women of every social and economic 

level, though urinary incontinence 

occurs more often in older women than 

in young women. The condition can 

be driven by stress or by a weakness in 

bladder or pelvic floor muscles and can 

be treated with a variety of approaches, 

depending on severity. 

• Pelvic Floor Weakness/Vaginal 

Prolapse/”Dropped Bladder” – Pelvic 

floor prolapse occurs when the upper 

portion of the vagina loses its normal 

shape and sags or drops down into the 

vaginal canal or even outside of the vaginal 

opening. There are several types of 

pelvic floor prolapse including bladder, 

rectum, small bowel and uterus. It’s wise 

not to let the condition go on too long, 

as most worsening pelvic floor prolapses 

can only be fully corrected with surgery. 

• Pelvic Pain/Interstitial Cystitis – 

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a long-term 

inflammation of the bladder wall, also 

called painful bladder syndrome. Its symptoms 

are very similar to a urinary tract 

infection, such as urinary urgency and/or 

pelvic pain, but lack an identifiable cause 

such as bacterial infection. In the past, IC 

was believed to be a relatively uncommon 

problem, but now it is thought to affect 

up to 12 percent of women. 

Though women can be reluctant to talk 

about these sensitive issues, it is important 

to share details with and seek treatment 

from a certified 

urologist. Not doing 

so not only diminishes 

your quality of life, 

but can put you at 

serious risk.

Pain and stress caused by 

shortened Fascia 

Fascia (strong connective tissue) encases 

all our muscles, organs, brain and spinal 

cord. Whenever fascia shortens any place 

in the body, the entire network of fascia 

creates an increased tension affecting the 

functioning of our physical body as well as 

our organs, our brain and spinal cord. 

Our body is the history of every major 

trauma we have experienced physically 

and emotionally beginning with birth 

issues, falls, head trauma, car accidents, 

childhood abuse issues, death, divorce 

and other emotional issues. Our body tries 

to minimize each trauma by shortening 

14 WEST COAST WOMAN SEPTEMBER 2020 

fascia to isolate the energy coming into the 

body from that trauma. Shortened fascia 

results in pain, loss of mobility and range 

of motion, organs becoming less efficient 

and with parts of the brain and spinal cord 

becoming stressed. 

To keep the brain functioning, the body 

transfers some of your functional work play 

energy (7:00 AM-10:00 PM) to the brain 

resulting in less energy to make it through 

each day. As we age, the accumulation of 

all the tightened fascia, from every major 

trauma in life, begins to restrict every 

aspect of our body’s functions resulting 

in pain, loss of mobility, mis-functioning 

organs, loss of energy, as well as our brain 

losing some its sharpness. 

How Craniosacral 

Therapy Works 

The Craniosacral Therapist creates a safe 

place, with gentle holding techniques, that 

engages your body’s ability to self correct, 

reorganize and heal itself with the release 

of some of that tightened fascia during 

each session. As the Craniosacral Therapist 

engages your body, you will feel fascia releasing. 

As the fascia releases, pain begins to 

decrease, range of motion and mobility improve, 

organs begin functioning better and 

with less stress on the brain feels, it returns 

the energy it borrowed at the time of each 

trauma resulting in an immediate increase in 

your energy levels. Rarely does anyone leave 

from my first session not feeling better. 

Short Leg Syndrome 

Eighty-five percent of my clients have one 

of their legs pulled up 1/2 to 1 by shortened 

fascia. The tension from short leg syndrome 

on the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae 

at bottom of the spine) is transferred up 

Testimonials from Clients 

■ “On a recent vacation to Siesta Key, I 

re-injured my back. I found Terry online. I 

can say with complete joy that was the best 

decision I made in the history of my back 

pain. I have sought many modalities and 

visit a CST regularly and never have I had 

such a healing in my entire body. 

After 3 sessions, I made a 16-hour drive 

home with no pain or discomfort in my 

entire body. Unbelievable. My body has 

a sense of moving freely and that is completely 

new. I’m so grateful to Terry for his 

knowledge, for his sensitivity to my needs 

and his kind generosity in healing my body. 

I will see him when I return next year.” 

—Caroline M. 

■ “I am a snowbird who spends 7 months 

in Sarasota. I have had back problems for 

25 years. Terry’s techniques have led to a 

great deal of release and relief in areas that 

have been problematic. I have been seeing 

him over the years when my body says ”it’s 

time”. Usually after a few sessions, I can tell 

a huge difference.” —Lana S. 

■ “I was introduced to Terry and Craniosacral 

Therapy by a Neuromuscular 

massage therapist who thought I needed 

higher level of care. I found Terry to be 

IN CONSIDERATION OF COVID-19 

kind, empathetic and he genuinely seemed 

to take an interest in my challenges. I have 

a mild Chiari malformation (part of the 

brain protrudes and puts pressure on the 

spinal cord) I had been experiencing vertigo, 

extreme pain in my neck combined 

with a limited range of motion (I could not 

turn my neck right or left) I tried both traditional 

and holistic modalities including 

chiropractic and acupuncture with limited 

success. So I did not have lofty expectations 

(unrealistic) going into my first session, but 

was pleasantly surprised in the immediate 

difference I experienced in my entire body. 

There was less pain in my back and 

shoulders, but also in my diaphragm and 

rib cage area. I was able to breathe more 

deeply, felt more limber and overall more 

relaxed. With additional sessions, Terry 

was able to relieve the burning sensation 

in my shoulders that would radiate into 

my lower neck and down my arms which 

had been plaguing me for a long time and 

causing numbness in my extremities. I have 

been impressed by his intuitive nature and 

his ability to listen to my body and focus in 

on specific issues and pain points. The therapist 

who referred me to him was right…he 

is a gifted healer.” —Nicole M.

The physical stress in bodies caused by 

shortened fascia (connective tissue) shuts 

down energy flows to certain organs. Short 

leg syndrome by ½ to 1 in (where one leg is 

pulled up by shortened fascia) shuts down 

energy flow to the spleen (an important part of 

your immune system) and the small and large 

intestine. With the release of that shortened 

fascia, energy returns to these organs.

into the lower and upper back, the neck, 

the cranium and the brain. Headaches, migraines, 

TMJ and neck problems can originate 

from the fascial stress in the sacrum. 

Releasing this sacral stress increases 

energy in the bladder, sex organs, kidneys 

and the chakras as well as releasing major 

stress in the upper part of the body. 

Cause of Shallow Breathing 

A great majority of the clients who come to 

me for various problems are also shallow

and the heart. With the release of fascial 

diaphragm restriction, the client immediately 

starts breathing deeply and energy is 

restored to the pericardium and the heart. 

Shoulder blades that are cemented to 

the body also restricts how much the rib 

cage can open and thereby also restricting 

depth of breath. Without proper breathing, 

your cells do not get enough oxygen. 

Everyone, especially people suffering from 

bronchitis, asthma and COPD as well as 

shallow breathing can benefit when the 

fascial stress is released. 

Specialized Training 

to work with Brain 

Dysfunctions 

Just as the body physically gets stressed 

from physical and emotional trauma, the 

functioning of the brain is also affected 

by fascial stress. For our brains to remain 

healthy, we need dynamic production 

of craniosacral fluid which performs the 

important function of bringing nourishment 

to all the cells in the brain and spinal 

cord as well as cleansing all the metabolic 

wastes given off by those same cells. 

Once the craniosacral fluid cleanses these 

metabolic wastes, efficient drainage of these 

metabolic wastes into the lymph system is 

absolutely necessary. Research has shown, 

that at night, craniosacral fluid cleanses amyloid 

plaques from the brain. If the drainage 

is inefficient, then the brain is being bathed 

in a toxic slurry. How does 15 or 20 years 

of your brain being bathed in a toxic slurry 

affect you: senile dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s 

and other brain dysfunctions? 

A Craniosacral Therapist, who has 

received training in working with the 

brain, can reverse that stress on the brain 

that eventually can result in those brain 

dysfunctions. As we all know, the proper 

functioning of the body is dependent on a 

healthy functioning brain.

Functional Genomics – 

Kara’s Road Back to Health 

The shortcomings of contemporary medicine 

“Contemporary views of human 

disease are based on simple 

correlations between clinical 

syndromes and pathological 

analysis which date back to 

the late 19th century. While this 

approach to disease diagnosis, 

prognosis, and treatment 

has served the medical 

establishment and society well 

for many years, it has serious shortcomings for the modern era,” says 

Dr. Joseph Loscalzo, Professor of Medicine, Harvard. 

— The Dawn of Personalized Medicine — Functional Genomics 

Kara B, a married business consultant 

and mother of three high 

school-aged children, was the 

picture of health until she reached 

55. Her wellbeing, vim and vigor 

started to deteriorate: joint aches and pains, 

trouble maintaining weight, cognition problems, 

heart irregularities, anxiety and sleep 

issues. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, 

depression/anxiety, and paroxysmal atrial 

fibrillation and subsequently prescribed pain 

meds, antidepressants, and blood thinner. 

“Where to turn?” she wondered. Hoping 

that Functional and Integrative Therapy 

might offer some clues, she sought the help 

of The Renewal Point. When Kara met with 

me in my office for a New Patient Consultation, 

she said her goal was to get back to her 

original good health without requiring so 

much pharmaceutical medication. I promised 

her we would look for answers. 

Her initial lab work demonstrated low 

levels of gonadal and thyroid hormones. 

While natural hormone therapy helped considerably, 

she still felt as if she were unable 

to maintain the high energy and competency 

level she expected from herself with her 

family and work. 

Fortunately for Kara, our practice now 

offers a new Genomic profile of 160 genes, 

called the MaxGen; a gene study directed 

at the interaction between her unique genome, 

environment, and lifestyle. Personalized 

gene studies, such as this, are truly a 

breakthrough in Integrative and Functional 

Medicine in two ways such as… 

Genomics Profiles: 

1. Shed light on the root cause of physical 

problems 

2. Offer keys in developing a personalized 

intervention program 

Kara’s Personalized Program… her 

Genomic Makeover Plan 

Adjusting for 160 genes, practitioners at The 

Renewal Point were able to optimize Kara’s 

diet, exercise, nutrition, supplements and 

sleep patterns. Her genetic profile revealed, 

among many other things, that; 1) Kara 

would lose weight more easily on a low 

glycemic diet rather than the intermittent 

fasting she had been trying for years. 2) 

Over two cups of coffee may be adding 

to her heart problems (she was drinking 

around five cups a day). 3) Certain genetic 

methylation defects added to her anxiety 

and sleep problems, and could be corrected 

with the right B vitamins. 4) A gene affecting 

vitamin D receptors increased the incidence 

of Fibromyalgia…we can target the root 

problem 5) She was more able to gain muscle 

and lose fat with a specialized Closed Kinetic 

Chain exercise program (CKC Fitness) than 

the aerobic program she had been doing for 

years while seeing no improvement. 

Following her Genomic Makeover Plan, 

Kara was able to get her health and mojo 

back. She lost the weight that had plagued 

her for years, firmed up her body with her 

new personalized exercise plan and was 

able to go off her pain meds prescribed for 

Fibromyalgia, her Psych meds for depression 

and sleep, and her blood thinner medication. 

According to her doctors, she no 

longer needed them.

THINK DONSON, 

a digital marketing agency, helps their clients adapt 

to the new realities of online marketing 

Online marketing was already 

a challenge pre-pandemic. 

Since mid-March of this year 

small business owners were 

forced to adapt to an environment 

nobody saw coming. The biggest 

challenge for any small business was quickly 

communicating new Covid-19 

policies. Questions such as - are you 

still open, have your hours changes, 

what are you doing to keep customers 

and staff safe, what is your 

mask and social distancing policy, 

what extra steps are you taking? 

As we are all aware the answers 

to these questions evolved over time 

requiring constant communication. 

This communication was done 

through a website, social media, 

blogs, Google Business Page, email 

marketing, and signage. In some 

cases, we were updating policies 

weekly across all channels. Having 

a company or individual in place to 

make all of these changes quickly 

became a top priority overnight. 

In addition to communicating 

policy changes, SMB’s had to become 

innovative with traditional 

marketing as they fought to just 

break even. Our job was to help 

them identify the best channels to 

push their weekly or monthly message, 

create the message, distribute 

the message. Through our reporting 

dashboard, we have always been able to 

show the performance of each marketing 

channel in real-time making this an easy 

decision to make for the SMB owner. 

We witnessed marketing budgets 

slashed during April and May as 

revenues for many clients plummeted 

50-80%. Creating the problem of 

getting your message out with the least 

possible expense. Our marketing stack 

recommendation was (and still is): 

STRATEGY: 

• Google Responsive Display Adsto 

generate targeted website traffic at 

a cost of 10-30 cents a click. Typical 

budget $50-100/week and up. 

Gary Donson and 

Felicia Donson 

• Install a Facebook Pixel on the website to 

build a custom Facebook audience based 

on website traffic (no cost). 

• Setup an ongoing Facebook Retargeting 

Adusing the website custom audience. 

Typical budget $50/week and up. 

• Push out your message via Social Media: 

GMB, Facebook, Instagram 

(no cost) 

• Automatically build your email 

list by identifying up to 30% of 

website traffic every day (yes, 

this works!) 

• Email your message WEEKLY via 

Constant Contact, Mailchimp or 

Active Campaign. 

PROCESS: 

• Create the message (you and/ 

or a writer) 

• Create the graphic (graphic 

designer) 

• Distribute the message (you, 

your internal team or digital 

agency) 

• Review the results of your 

campaign weekly (reporting 

dashboard) 

• Rinse and Repeat with 

adjustments 

This works for businesses of all 

sizes and budgets. You can start 

with a weekly budget of $100-$150 

and scale up from there as needed. The 

#1 job of the SMB owner is to choose 

the weekly or monthly message. Once 

you have decided on the message your 

internal team or digital agency will do 

the rest. If you have to spend any time 

on the process then you need a new team 

or agency! 

Think Donson is a full-service digital 

marketing agency. We can help with 

every aspect of your marketing needs.

We know you’re limiting your travel these days, but these news items keep 

you up to date for when it’s safe to travel again. Plus, it’s fun to read… 

LaGuardia Airport’s remodeled and 

upgraded terminal B now open 

LaGuardia Airport has been the bane 

of many a traveler for years. LaGuardia 

Airport ranked worst among 

medium-size airports, based on statistical 

analysis and reader comments. 

The long-awaited renovation of 

LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B culminated 

in a reopening on June 13. The 

revamped arrivals and departures hall, 

designed and built by Skanska USA, total 

850,000 square feet across four levels— 

roughly 50 percent bigger than the space 

that it replaced. It’ll also be disinfected 

regularly up to CDC standards and 

Margaritaville 

Hotel in 

Manatee 

County open 

Now we can all waste away in 

Margaritaville on Anna Maria 

Island. The new Compass by 

Margaritaville resort on Perico Island 

officially opened in July. 

The six-story, 123-room hotel has Margaritaville 

bedding, oversized bathrooms 

with rainfall showers, smart TVs, 

complimentary daily breakfast, Wi- 

Fi, a living lounge where guests can 

hang out, a welcome cabana stocked 

with snacks throughout the day, a 

grab-and-go retail store and water 

views from each and every angle. 

The elephant in the room, of 

course, is the global COVID-19 

pandemic. Vacations are not happening 

the way they once were, as 

COVID-19 cases are rising in Florida 

and airlines continue to operate 

at limited capacity. Steve Mullen 

of Sarasota-based hotel developer 

Floridays Development Co. said 

that the pandemic does make the 

opening challenging. However, he 

did say that business at Floridays’ 

other local hotels — such as the Hilton 

Home2 Suites Casey Key in Nokomis — is 

pretty strong on the weekends. The issue 

is the weekdays. 

“The Home2 Suites does really well on 

the weekends, but during the week it’s 

running at 40-50% (occupancy),” he said. 

“It’s getting better at the resort locations. 

We’re anticipating weekends will be 

feature signage that reminds travelers to 

wear face masks, 

The new arrivals and departures hall 

at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B is a 

850,000-square-foot, four-level space measures 

roughly 50 percent bigger than the 

hall it replaces and comes equipped with 

more check-in kiosks, security lines, and 

new screening systems, all aimed at improving 

efficiency and reducing crowds. 

The new hall is part of the ongoing 

reconstruction of LaGuardia, an $8 billion 

project which first broke ground in 2016. 

The new hall serves American Airlines, 

strong, but we’re in the dark as to what 

will happen during the week.” 

Mullen said cleaning protocols are 

stringent, plexiglass has been installed at 

service desks and staff gets their temperatures 

taken as they come in. The hotel 

employs more than 90 people. It’s managed 

by Hostmark Hospitality Group. The 

hotel’s restaurant, Floridays Woodfire Grill 

United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and 

Air Canada. Terminal B departures level 

includes four check-in islands with 75 

self-service kiosks. New digital signs in 

the security line will display wait times 

for passengers. At the arrivals level, 

there are nine new baggage carrousels. 

A centralized food hall offers 17 

retail, food, and beverage shops, including 

local city favorites like Junior’s 

Cheesecake, Eli Zabar, and Think 

Coffee. There are also four permanent 

Public Art fund-commissioned installations 

by artists Jeppe Hein, Sabine 

Hornig, Laura Owens, and Sarah Sze. 

The opening of Terminal B’s arrivals 

and departures hall is the biggest milestone 

for the project since the new 

Delta concourse opened last October. 

Signs will remind customers to wear 

a face mask, keep six feet from others, 

and to wash hands frequently. “The 

terminal features spacious, centralized 

check-in, state-of-the-art security 

technology that has been integrated 

from curbside to gate, and modern 

concessions, shopping and art,” Kevin 

O’Toole, chair of the Port Authority of 

New York and New Jersey, said. 

When the 2.7 million-square-foot 

project is complete it will contain 72 

new gates across six concourses, two 

new connected arrival and departure 

halls, and new roadways. 

& Bar, has about 300 seats 

and about 100 of those seats 

are outside. “Fortunately a 

lot of the venue is outside. 

There’s a big resort pool, and 

we can accommodate people 

dining outside,” he said. 

The hotel is the first under 

the Compass by Margaritaville 

brand. It’s designed to 

adapt to a more boutique-like 

format compared to other 

Margaritaville properties, 

according to the company. 

Compass Anna Maria 

Sound is situated on a 220- 

acre private island community 

just 10 miles from Sarasota 

Bradenton International Airport. With 

six stories and 123 rooms overlooking 

Anna Maria Sound, each room offers 

a modern, nature-inspired design and 

premium amenities including Margaritaville 

bedding, rainfall showers and 

smart TVs. Ten suites are also available.

The Museum 

of Modern Art 

Reopens 

Late August, most museums 

in New York City have 

reopened. The Museum 

of Modern Art reopened 

August 27 with new hours 

through September 27: 

from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 

p.m. Tuesday through Sunday 

to the public; and from 10:30 

a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Mondays 

for MoMA members only. 

Admission will be free to all 

visitors Tuesday through Sunday, 

through September 27. 

The Museum’s Flagship 

Store on 53rd Street and the MoMA 

Design Stores in Midtown and Soho are 

also open. Changes include encouraging 

visitors to reserve timed-entry tickets 

in advance via the Museum’s website 

MoMA.org. Tickets will be available in 

30-minute slots and will be released one 

week in advance, in one-week blocks, 

every Friday at 10 a.m. 

MOMA will limit entry to no more 

than 100 visitors per hour, with no time 

constraint on how long visitors can stay 

during open hours. This restricts the total 

number of visitors on site to 25% or less 

of the Museum’s full capacity at all times. 

Visitors older than the age of two to 

wear face coverings at all times; complimentary 

face masks will be available. 

They will have contactless temperature 

checks and bag checks for all visitors. 

Visitors should leave at home backpacks, 

umbrellas, and bags over the size of 11 × 

17 × 5 inches (28 × 43 × 13 cm). To protect 

visitor and staff health, there will be 

no bag or coat check services. 

Signs and staff will offer guidance 

to enforce a socially-distanced visitor 

experience. Hand-sanitizer dispensers 

are available throughout the Museum. 

Plexiglass barriers are in place at ticketing, 

Membership, and MoMA Design 

Store desks and points of sale. 

As the Museum will no longer hand 

out physical audio guides, visitors can enjoy 

the Museum’s audio guide and digital 

content on their personal devices via the 

Museum’s website or app. On-site dining 

options will remain temporarily closed. 

Visitors returning to the Museum will 

be greeted by a special installation of 

the iconic “I ♥ NY” logo (1976), designed 

by Milton Glaser (1929–2020), 

mounted inside the west end of MoMA’s 

lobby and visible from 53rd street. 

Glaser’s design, the concept sketch and 

layouts for which are in MoMA’s collection, 

was conceived during multiple 

crises occurring throughout 1975 and 

has become a symbol of hope and enduring 

love for New York City and State 

throughout the last 45 years. 

For those who are unable to visit 

in person, MoMA’s digital offerings, 

including online film programming and 

the virtual Heyman Family Art Lab, will 

continue on the Museum’s website, You- 

Tube, and social media channels. Magazine, 

Virtual Views, free massive open 

online courses on Coursera, the MoMA 

Learning website, and the Museum’s 

Education department Twitter feed, @

St. Pete Pier Reopens 

Since we’ve been quarantined, you may 

have missed this item. The long-awaited 

St. Pete Pier and the St. Pete Pier 

District opened to the public in July. 

The 26-acre engineering feat is designed 

to celebrate the city’s historic 

connection to the waterfront and the 

city’s downtown. 

This entertainment district is an extension 

of St. Pete’s city center, offering 

a picturesque urban beach area, a 

children’s playground, variety of dining 

spots, seasonal marketplace with local 

vendors, tree-laden walkways and hidden 

copses, an ecotourism center and 

more. “St. Petersburg’s icon has long 

been our public waterfront, 

one of the largest in North 

America. The new pier is an 

extension of our icon and is 

sure to draw both residents 

and visitors from all over the 

world” said Mayor Rick Kriseman, 

City of St. Petersburg. 

“Further, it is truly a pier for 

all people, with so much to 

enjoy regardless of income. It 

is a gift to our residents and 

future generations.”From its 

earliest days in the late 1800s, 

St. Petersburg and its pier have been intricately 

linked. There have been many 

iterations of a pier over the years. St. 

Petersburg has changed and is moving 

away from its “Golden Girls” image as a 

retirement community. Downtown St. 

Pete is its epicenter featuring museums 

devoted to artistic legends like Dalí and 

Chihuly and street after street adorned 

by colorful murals both large and small. 

The pier hosts installations from four 

internationally renowned artists: Janet 

Echelman, Xenobia Bailey, Nick Ervinck 

and Nathan Mabry. More info at

Imposters? Substitutes? New “Classics”? 

New takes on old standbys with all-new ingredients 

Apple nachos? It’s a trend for sure - taking classic dishes and 

reinventing them with new flavor combinations to experience. 

Many of these changes are no doubt an answer to our 

seemingly endless quest for new flavor sensations or, at the 

least, updating classics like nachos - a staple of TV watching, parties, and 

served as an appetizer in restaurants. 

Many revised recipes also reflect changing dietary needs particularly the 

growth of vegan dining. Chickpea fritters (as opposed to traditional corn 

fritters) are perfect for vegans, but using chickpeas is not new. Chickpea 

seeds are one of the earliest cultivated legumes, and 7500-year-old remains 

have been found in the Middle East. They also have lots of protein 

which is important for vegans. And, they’re sautéed, not deep-fried. And 

be sure to check out the “crab cakes” to see about that “crab” part. Enjoy! 

F Apple Nachos T 

F No-Fry Fritters T 

Butternut squash and chickpeas are the perfect combination for this vegetarian 

entrée. Legumes like chickpeas pack protein and the B vitamin folate, and winter 

squash is rich in carotenoids, a group of phytochemicals. Both are also rich in 

fiber, which has been shown to support growth of health-promoting bacteria in 

the gut and reduce risk for colorectal cancer. Plus these healthy fritters are lightly 

sautéed instead of deep-fat fried, cutting down on calories and fat. 

Chickpea and Butternut Squash Fritters — ——————— —————— 

2 cups (10 oz.) cubed butternut 

squash 

1 can (15.5 oz.) chickpeas, drained 

3 Tbsp. whole-wheat flour 

1 large egg 

4 scallions, coarsely chopped 

1 large clove garlic, minced 

2 tsp. chopped fresh sage leaves 

Yogurt Dill Sauce ——————— 

1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt 

2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill 

1 clove garlic, minced 

1/2 tsp. lemon zest 

1 tsp. lemon juice 

Salt and freshly ground white or black pepper 

1/4 tsp. cumin 

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes 

Coarse salt and freshly ground 

pepper to taste 

2 Tbsp. canola oil or extra virgin 

olive oil, divided 

8 cups field greens (5 oz. pkg.) 

1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted 

skinless hazelnuts 

Salad Dressing ————————— 

1 Tbsp. lemon juice 

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

For Yogurt Dill Sauce, in small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into 

small serving bowl and set aside. 

For Salad Dressing, in small bowl, combine lemon juice and oil, season to taste with 

salt and pepper and set aside. 

1 medium apple, sliced 

1/2 cup plain reduced-fat Greek yogurt 

1 tsp. honey 

1 Tbsp. almond butter 

3 Tbsp. water 

1 Tbsp. salted pumpkin seeds 

1 tsp. chia seeds 

1 Tbsp. granola chunks 

1/8 tsp. cinnamon 

Slice apple into thin slices (about 25 slices) and arrange on a plate. 

Mix yogurt, honey, almond butter and water together and drizzle over apples. If 

yogurt dip is too thick to drizzle, add more water to thin out. 

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and granola chunks on top of yogurt layer. 

To finish, sprinkle cinnamon over entire dish and serve immediately.

These unique “crab cakes” use chopped hearts of palm instead of crab, but 

otherwise feature the same flavors of the classic dish. This recipe comes 

from Ayinde Howell and Zoe Eisenberg, authors of The Lusty Vegan: A Cookbook 

and Relationship Manifesto for Vegans and Those Who Love Them. 

For the Garlicky Dill Aioli — ——— 

1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise 

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 

1 teaspoon minced garlic 

Garlicky Dill Aioli: 

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and add salt and pepper to 

taste. Set in the fridge to keep cool. 

To make the Crab Cakes: 

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 

hearts of palm and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent 

sticking. Cook until golden brown on all sides. Set aside to cool. Add the celery 

and peppers and mix well. 

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium-heat heat. Add the onions 

and sauté until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 

minute. Remove from the heat, add to the hearts of palm, and mix well. Add the 

seafood seasoning, cornstarch, and mayo. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl 

and mix well. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then shape the mixture into 

four round patties. 

Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and seafood seasoning, 

stirring to mix. Coat the patties with the breadcrumb mixture and refrigerate for 

20 minutes. 

Heat about 3 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium- high heat until hot 

and shimmering. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook until golden 

brown on each side, approximately 2 minutes per side. Watch closely to prevent 

burning. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain 

any excess oil. Serve hot, topped with the aïoli, with lemon wedges on the side. 

Makes 2 servings.

How Craniosacral Therapy 

Can Be Life Changing 

As a result of two car accidents, injuries to my back, 

neck, shoulders, and tailbone caused me debilitating 

pain, chronic migraines, and loss of energy that forced 

me to go on disability leave. Medical doctors and physical 

therapy did not help. I tried neuromuscular massage, 

acupuncture and chiropractic with little improvement. A 

friend referred me to Terry. Within four CST sessions, my 

pain and physical stress decreased substantially, flexibility 

returned, my digestive system improved, the migraines 

disappeared and I regained mental clarity. I was able to 

go back to work. As I have left Sarasota, I come back to 

work with him periodically. Terry is a gifted healer.

Accolades 

■ “You are braver than you 

believe, stronger than you seem, 

smarter than you think and 

loved more than you know.” This 

beloved quote from A.A. Milne 

is captured on a trio of canvases 

gracing the walls of the waiting 

area in All Star Children’s Foundation’s 

Children’s Center. 

The Sarasota-based artist who 

donated the work is Meg Krakowiak. 

She met All Star founder 

Graci McGillicuddy over a year 

ago and 

was 

immediately 

captivated 

by her 

vision 

and mission 

for 

All Star 

Children’s 

Foundation. Krakowiak 

decided on the spot to make it her 

personal charity. 

“Graci’s passion for kids comes 

from her heart. Every square inch 

of the campus contributes to 

their well-being, from the careful 

design of the homes to the vegetable 

garden and more,” she says. 

“All Star’s model lifts them up— 

and it truly makes a difference.” 

According to Krakowiak, the 

quote she celebrates in her triptych 

is all about self-worth. “Every 

child has incredible value,” 

she says. 

“This quote 

speaks a 

truth over 

every child, 

whether 

they believe 

it now or 

not. I think 

Milne’s 

words offer 

a beautiful 

All Star founder 

Graci McGillicuddy 

affirmation 

of their true 

Sarasota-based artist 

Meg Krakowiak 

potential.” 

Krakowiak 

also 

generously 

donated her 

painting, 

“Heart of 

Sailing,” to 

All Star. In 

addition, 

she has 

volunteered 

to care for 

the children 

of All Star 

campus’ foster parents. “Meg’s 

art inspires feelings of hope and 

healing for all who see it,” says 

McGillicuddy. “We are so grateful 

to be the recipients of Meg’s 

beautiful, heartfelt and inspirational 

artwork.” 

Krakowiak exhibits her work at 

the Meg Krakowiak Gallery & Studio, 

60 S. Palm Avenue, Sarasota; 

www.megkrakowiakstudios.com. 

All Star has completed its 

“Campus of Hope and Healing,” 

which includes the All Star 

Children’s Center, where trauma-focused 

clinical services are 

offered. The campus also features 

six foster family homes that 

provide children, ages 0-18, with 

a nurturing, family-style home 

environment and comprehensive, 

trauma-sensitive treatment. Siblings 

are kept together, and parents 

and caregivers are offered 

a range of services. All Star also 

serves children in the region’s 

child welfare system and their 

families on an outpatient basis. 

According to McGillicuddy, 

All Star has implemented a 

trauma-informed program that 

Meg Krakowiak’s artwork “Heart of Sailing” 

delivers the latest evidence-based 

protocols and treatments for foster 

children and their biological 

families. Partnering with leaders 

across the child welfare system, 

the non-profit organization has 

tapped best-in-class partners to 

assist in their mission.
