just some 

thoughts 

Louise Bruderle 

Editor and Publisher 

West Coast Woman 

Tammy Hauser 

I can relate. Hers is a job with a lot of details, moving 

parts and involves precise scheduling. But it’s not 

publishing that Tammy does. Instead, she owns and 

operates Discover Sarasota Tours. I’ve admired her 

business for some time while also wanting to jump 

aboard one of her company’s many interesting tours. 

You may have seen her colorful trolleys named “Dolly 

The Trolley” and “Vanna White” around town. 

October is when her business really picks up and 

some of the most popular tours take place: the Haunted 

Sarasota Tour (“Sarasota’s famous murders, haunt- 

Tammy Hauser 

Photo: Louise Bruderle ed buildings, and unsolved crimes.”) Then there’s the 

BooMobile, an interactive musical geared towards kids (of all ages). 

Serendipity played a big part in Tammy’s creation of Discover Sarasota 

Tours. When Tammy moved here, she wondered why there were no trolley 

tours in a tourist town like Sarasota. Excellent observation as many towns - 

large and small - have them. 

After taking on the role of leading the Center for Architecture Sarasota 

as part of a Gulf Coast Community Foundation consulting assignment, she 

created Architectural Trolley Tours. It was a lightbulb moment for this savvy 

businesswoman and, in 2018, she started Discover Sarasota Tours. 

Kudos to Tammy and her Discover Sarasota Tours’ team for being recognized 

as a Tripadvisor 2023 Travelers’ Choice Award Winner for the second 

year in a row. Find out more and book a tour at www.discoversarasotatours.com/ 

Congrats to ArtCenter Manatee! 

ArtCenter Manatee 

had its 

ground-breaking 

ceremony on September 

14 for the 

new Herrig Center 

for the Arts. Construction 

on the new 

28,000 square foot, 

two-story facility is 

underway with completion 

scheduled 

for late 2024. 

The new center 

will transform the entrance into Bradenton and provide greenspace as well 

as offer expanded gallery, classroom, office and storage space. 

The ArtCenter will operate uninterrupted in their current facility while 

the new one is constructed. Once construction is complete, the building 

will be razed to make room for a community park and sculpture garden that 

will face 9th St. W., creating a beautiful welcoming entrance into Bradenton. 

Classes, exhibits, the gift shop and events will continue as scheduled. 

The new Center will meet the growing demand for visual arts classes, exhibits, 

and other arts programming, well into the future and will feature one 

large gallery, nine classrooms, the LiveArtfully gift shop, and expanded kitchen, 

office and storage space. For more info, visit www.artcentermanatee.org 

Calling all Gardeners! 

Master Gardener Events in October 

If you love gardening, love buying plants and love learning how to be a 

better gardener, this is your month! There are two Master Gardener events 

in our area. 

In Sarasota, this free, family-friendly gardening event returns October 

14, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and features sustainable gardening education, 

landscape problem diagnosis, and thousands of plants for sale, plus an 

open house that highlights all that UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County has 

to offer. 

Proceeds benefit the Master Gardeners Chapter of the Friends of Sarasota 

County Parks, which supports UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County. It will 

be held at Twin Lakes Park, Green Building, 6700 Clark Road, Sarasota. 

Free admission and bring cash/checks to pay. More info at facebook.com/ 

ufsarasotext. 

Their dedicated volunteers typically gather more than 300 varieties of 

plants, and raise approximately 2,500 plants for the sale. Many local residents 

also donated plants to support this effort. You’re sure to run into questions, 

whether it’s about what will grow in our area, when and how much to water, 

or just finding that “special, right plant” for your place. The nearest Master 

Gardener Volunteer or Extension staff member is there to help. 

In Manatee County, you can join Master Gardener Volunteers on October 

7 for their 2023 Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Sale located at the Barbara 

Davis Educational Gardens, 1303 17th St W, Palmetto, from 9am - noon. The 

sale will feature Florida natives, pollinator plants, edibles, shrubs, ground 

covers, and more, all grown by Master Gardener Volunteers. All proceeds 

from this event go to the operation and maintenance of the Master 

Gardeners’ Educational Gardens and Greenhouse, and to support Master 

Gardener educational and outreach programs. 

For this event, tickets to the event are free but guests are required to 

register beforehand on Eventbrite. Only cash or personal checks will be 

accepted during the sale. 

“Brave Talk: Finding the Words 

to Confront Intolerance” 

“Brave Talk: Finding the Words to Confront Intolerance” is an interactive 

workshop that will be presented on November 5, 2-4 p.m. at Temple Beth 

Israel to help us speak up when we hear language that is offensive or derogatory. 

Frequently today we find that we need special social skills to respond 

effectively to comments that are intolerant, hostile and dismissive, politically 

outrageous, and often are racist, antisemitic, and homophobic. The 

workshop will teach skills to understand and respond to this hurtful and 

destructive language, and it will offer a framework to craft and practice responses. 

This participatory workshop will be apolitical and nonjudgmental. 

Dr. Racelle Weiman, a master educator in conflict and prejudice resolution, 

will lead the workshop. She is known locally as the facilitator of Miracle 

on the Key. Her career includes work in more than 25 countries. She was a 

faculty member and directed institutes at the University of Haifa, Israel, Hebrew 

Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Dialogue Institute at Temple 

University in Philadelphia, PA. 

The program is open to the Sarasota-Manatee community and will be 

held in the social hall of Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Rd., Longboat Key. 

There is no fee, but registration is required, and will be limited to the first 

100 people.You may register Temple Beth Israel at 941-383-3428 or email office@longboatkeytemple.org. 

It’s the Time of the Season… 

The WCW inbox is full of releases, ads are being booked, calendars are 

filling up fast so it must be we’re getting closer to season. Yeah, yeah, still 

upper 80s and we still have two more months of hurricane season, But tap 

into your memory banks and envision cooler days and nights and lots of fun 

things to do - inside and, best of all, outside - again!

Sarasota 

Art Museum 

Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling 

College has Reassembling Spilt 

Light: An Immersive Installation 

by Carlos Bunga through October 

29, 2023. 

Bunga is a multimedia artist internationally 

renowned for his imposing, 

site-responsive installations constructed 

with mundane, everyday materials, 

such as cardboard and masking 

tape. Originally trained as a painter, 

Bunga has developed a signature artistic 

language, “expanded painting,” 

which hybridizes and deconstructs 

the boundaries of painting, sculpture, 

architecture, and performance. 

Born into an Angolan refugee family 

in the Portuguese city of Porto, 

Bunga draws his inspiration from his 

makeshift childhood surroundings 

in deteriorating government housing. 

Employing a poetic approach across 

various mediums, he creates emotionally 

resonant and multivalent works. 

They not only invite the audience to 

question their position in the world 

around them, but also reflect on such 

timely topics as urban decay, migration, 

and displacement. 

For this solo exhibition, Bunga created 

a temporary cardboard structure in 

the 30-foot-high Koski Gallery located 

on the Museum’s third floor. Beginning 

and ending as a dialogue with the 

existing architecture, this installation 

transforms the gallery’s spatial configuration 

for the duration of the exhibition. 

By deploying light as his primary 

conceptual basis, just as James Turrell 

has done before him, Bunga explains 

that he sculpts light, which cannot be 

touched, but only felt viscerally.

Conditions. Explore labor through 

The Ringling’s Photography Collection. 

The Industrial Revolution of the 

eighteenth and nineteenth centuries 

radically changed the nature of human 

labor. Photography was itself introduced 

to the public in 1839. 

The subsequent development of 

photographic media has thus been 

intertwined with the culture of labor 

ever since. In addition to the camera’s 

technical use as an instrument to record, 

photographers have also created 

images over the decades that have 

helped shape how we think about 

work and the politics of labor. This 

exhibition explores the myriad ways 

in which photographs have communicated 

ideas about labor since the 

nineteenth century through examples 

from The Ringling’s photography

The Boca Raton Museum of Art 

has Benn Mitchell Photographs: 

Hollywood to NYC. From the age of 

13, when he received his first camera, 

Mitchell produced photographs 

that capture a particularly American 

vitality. Born in New York City 

in 1926, he sold his first photograph 

to “Life” magazine when he was 

16. Then, at age 17, he headed west, 

gaining permission from Warner 

Brothers to frequent the studios, 

shooting Hollywood stars on various 

sets and sound stages. One of 

his most valued photographs in this 

exhibition features Humphrey Bogart 

in a rare moment of respite, having 

a cigarette break between takes. 

After two years of duty as a navy 

photographer, he returned to New 

York City and worked as a photographer 

in a large commercial studio. In 

▼ 

1951 he started a 

commercial studio. 

Finally, he 

retired to Boca 

Raton, where 

he and his wife 

Esther avidly supported 

the Museum, 

donating 

many of Mitchell’s 

photographs 

to the collection. 

The Museum is

An exhibition 

showcasing Salvador 

Dalí’s rarely 

seen drawings, “Where Ideas Come 

From: Dalí’s Drawings” features 

newly conserved works on view for the 

first time in more than three decades. 

Experience the opportunity to see 

Dalí’s fragile works on paper, highlighting 

the artist’s creative process 

throughout the many phases of his 

career on view through October 22 at 

The Dalí Museum. 

The exhibition chronicles the 

movement of the Surrealist’s imagination 

through more than 100 pencil, 

pen, charcoal, watercolor and 

gouache works, many of which have 

been secured in the Museum’s vault 

for more than three decades and 

likely will not be displayed again for 

many years to come. 

The Dalí Museum organizes 

“Where Ideas Come From” chronologically, 

presenting works that date 

from 1916 to 1974. Four sections — 

Early Period; Surrealism; Nuclear 

Mysticism, Classicism and Religion; 

and Late Period — feature studies for 

major oil paintings, portraits, experimental 

drawing techniques and commercial 

projects, including film. 

Visitors can try their hand at drawing 

like the Surrealist icon. A series of 

instructional videos, sketchpads and 

pencils are available for visitors to 

create symbolic Dalinian imagery or 

other ideas inspired by the exhibit.

At The Baker Museum—“Naples 

Collects 2022-23.” As a follow-up 

to the Naples Collects exhibition of 

2016, this exhibition is developed 

with the intention of sharing the 

most inspiring and engaging art 

from among the collections found 

in Southwest Florida. The paintings, 

sculptures, works on paper and 

mixed media pieces in this exhibition 

allow us to share with the museum’s 

visitors some of our community’s 

most prized possessions. 

They also provide a rich overview 

of artistic production, ranging from 

modern masters to cutting-edge 

contemporary artists. Many of these 

objects complement the strengths of 

The Baker Museum’s permanent collection, 

while others propose new areas 

of exploration and inquiry. Most 

importantly, these works showcase 

and celebrate the interests, tastes and 

experiences of collectors in the area, 

all while underscoring a shared passion 

for the visual. Runs to October

Explore the Vaults: Water + Color. 

This exhibition explores paintings 

and drawings from the MFA’s 

permanent collection made using 

water-based media, including ink, 

gouache, and of course watercolor. 

The works in this gallery, both on the 

walls and in the cabinet drawers, 

show the wide array of visual effects—from 

crisp lines to delicately 

hued washes to intensely saturated 

passages—created through water’s 

interaction with pigments upon 

various surface. Among the most 

ancient of all artistic techniques is 

painting or drawing with pigments 

suspended in water. 

Because they can be created from 

simple substances—such as naturally 

occurring minerals, soot, 

plant materials, and water—these 

paints and inks are found in cultures 

around the globe. This exhibition 

explores paintings and drawings 

from the MFA’s permanent collection 

made using water-based media, 

including ink, gouache, and of 

course watercolor. In contrast to 

more complicated media, like egg 

tempera or oil paint, water-based 

paints and inks are easier to work 

with, dry more quickly, and can be 

used successfully without specialized 

training. Over the last two hundred 

years, commercially produced 

pigments and new media like acrylic 

paint have expanded the range of 

colors and finishes for water-based 

techniques. The works in this gallery, 

both on the walls and in the cabinet 

drawers, show the wide array of visual 

effects—from crisp lines to delicately 

hued washes to intensely saturated 

passages—created through 

water’s interaction with pigments 

upon various surfaces. Runs through

Coming up: 

A new exhibit is coming to The 

Ringling this October: Guercino’s 

Friar with a Gold Earring: Fra 

Bonaventura Bisi, Painter and Art 

Dealer, an international loan exhibition 

exploring a rare portrait of 

Fra Bonaventura Bisi by the Italian 

Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco 

Barbieri, also known as Guercino. 

The Ringling acquired the portrait 

in 2015.Through 35 works from 

institutions in Italy and the United 

States—including oil paintings, 

miniatures in tempera on parchment, 

drawings, prints, and published 

writings of the period—the 

exhibition explores the portrait by 

revealing the fascinating life of Bisi, 

who was also known as Il Pittorino. 

A Franciscan friar from Bologna

Patterson Foundation Kickstarts 

Sarasota Opera’s Entrepreneurial Plan 

The Patterson Foundation is 

strengthening Sarasota Opera’s 

effort to boost earned income 

matching up to $50,000 

in growth capital investments 

toward its Sarasota Opera 

Costume Studio. Sarasota Opera 

is one of the regional nonprofit 

organizations currently 

participating in Margin & Mission 

Ignition, an opportunity presented 

by The Patterson Foundation that helps 

nonprofits develop and implement an 

earned-income plan to strengthen their 

impact in our community. 

Nonprofits are selected to participate in 

Margin & Mission Ignition’s 30-month planning 

and implementation process after a 

months-long application period. No Margin, 

No Mission, a social enterprise and national 

consulting firm engaged by The Patterson 

Foundation, consults with the participating 

nonprofits on strategies and best practices 

to generate revenue throughout that process. 

In 2019 Sarasota Opera greatly expanded 

its costume rental inventory with a historic 

collection of nearly 50,000 costumes from 

a leading opera costume rental house. This 

earned income opportunity was delayed by 

the COVID-19 pandemic and the worldwide 

shutdown of opera and theater institutions, 

but as they reopen, the company is revisiting 

its business plan to greatly expand its costume 

rental activities, to generate revenue 

to invest in its mission of presenting worldclass 

opera. Sarasota Opera recently shared 

its earned-income plan with potential donor 

investors during a fast-pitch-style event presented 

by The Patterson Foundation. 

Donations for Sarasota Opera’s Costume 

Studio will be matched dollar for 

dollar by The Patterson Foundation – up 

to $50,000 maximum. Pledges, in-kind 

contributions and debt funding are not 

eligible to be matched. Margin & Mission 

Ignition is part of The Patterson Foundation’s 

Nonprofit Thrivability initiative. This 

initiative connects nonprofits with expertise 

and resources to learn concepts like 

strategic decision-making while adopting 

and implementing entrepreneurial principles 

to generate enough revenue to support 

and eventually grow their operations.

& Mission Ignition, visit thepatterson

JFCS of the Suncoast Receives $ 300,000 Grant 

from Florida Blue Foundation 

Florida Blue Foundation has awarded the 

Jewish Family and Children Services (JFCS) 

of the Suncoast a $300,000 grant for their 

Community Well-Being Connection. 

Part of its national “Get With The Guidelines” 

annual quality review, the AHA recognizes 

hospitals not only for following 

best practices, but for doing so consistently, 

year after year, ultimately leading to 

more lives saved, shorter recovery times 

and fewer readmissions to the hospital. 

This grant will be a multi-year grant 

over three years to support a full-time 

licensed clinician (LCSW) and a part-time 

case manager that will bring essential 

counseling to assist youth and families 

in our Sarasota community. According to 

a recent analysis by the Sarasota County 

Mental Health Needs Assessment 

Task Force, Sarasota county’s behavioral 

health system “is in danger of becoming a 

crisis if steps to shore up and enhance the 

system are not taken.” In order to respond 

to the ongoing increase for mental health 

services, new private-sector partnerships 

have been developed to satisfy these ever-increasing 

demands. 

As the school year begins in Sarasota 

County, anxiety and tension affect not only 

the children who may be concerned about 

their studies, socializing, and peer pressures, 

but also the entire family. Chief of 

Behavioral Services at JFCS, Keith Leahey 

shares, “the community integrated focus of 

this program has been very well received 

by our partner agencies and by the children, 

youth and their families. It is exciting 

to me to be serving in the broader community. 

JFCS is honored to have been selected 

by Florida Blue Foundation for this 

Community Well-Being Connection grant.” 

After a recent mental health training at 

the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sarasota and 

DeSoto counties, Kathy Bernal, the Community 

Wellbeing Clinician at JFCS recently 

received a heartfelt thank you note from 

those who attended, “your expertise is 

so valuable in educating our youth about 

stress and anxiety which is now such a 

common factor for many teens today.” 

JFCS is one of the Florida Suncoast’s 

leading mental health and human services 

agencies, and delivers programs and 

services on a non-denominational basis 

with the goal of empowering individuals 

toward well-being and self-reliance. For

Tickets on Sale Now for 

Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota’s 

2023-2024 Season, “Stars Ascending” 

Alexander Markov 

Artist Series Concerts presents 

26 concerts during its 28th season, 

“Stars Ascending.” The season 

– sponsored by Ernie Kretzmer 

– runs from October 1 through May 

14 and offers a diverse range of musical experiences 

featuring emerging and established 

classical, jazz, pop, and chamber artists. 

Marcy Miller, executive director of Artist 

Series Concerts, stated, “We’re thrilled 

to present this incredibly exciting season 

planned by Daniel Jordan, our director of artistic 

programming. Our various series allow 

patrons to easily choose their favorite genres 

or venues – we have experiences to meet everyone’s 

musical preferences.” 

A highlight of the season is the presentation 

of “Caesar!” and the Markov family on 

November 18 at Church of the Palms. Alexander 

Markov and his parents Albert and Marina 

– known as “the first family of violin” – 

perform together in a family-friendly concert 

experience that also features Key Chorale 

and the Booker High School VPA Choir. 

The first part of the concert features the 

Markovs playing classical masterpieces for 

violin duo and trio. Alexander Markov says, 

“It’s an incredible experience every time we 

play together, because there’s nothing closer 

than playing with your family.” 

Following intermission, Alexander takes 

the stage with Key Chorale, the Booker High 

School VPA Choir, an orchestra, a rhythm 

section, and his 24-karat-gold-plated sixstring 

electric violin to perform “Caesar!” His 

original composition about the legendary Roman 

general and statesman combines classical, 

rock, and pop music in a four-part piece 

full of mystery, drama, color, and contrasts. 

Alexander says “I’m a product of a classical 

music home during the era of guitar gods. 

You should expect the unexpected.” 

Alexander has wowed audiences playing 

his gold electric violin in the world’s most 

prestigious concert halls and packed stadiums. 

He made his New York debut recital 

at Carnegie Hall in 1983 and was awarded 

a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant in 

1987. He humorously stated, “It used to be 

that the big deal was I made my debut at 

Carnegie Hall at the age of 16. Now it’s that I 

have over 11 million views on YouTube.” 

Albert Markov was born in Kharkiv, 

Ukraine in 1933. In 1941, he and his mother 

were evacuated to escape World War II. After 

his immigration to the United States in 1975, 

Albert Markov made his debut with the Hous- 

The Queen’s Six 

credit Gill Heppell 

ton Symphony. Prior to that, he won the Gold 

Medal in the Queen Elizabeth Competition in 

Brussels and was concertizing extensively. 

He is the only concert violinist of the 20th 

and 21st centuries who created major compositions 

for opera, symphony, and more 

which are performed internationally and 

commercially recorded. 

Marina Markov was a member of the string 

ensemble in the orchestra of the Bolshoi Theater 

in Moscow as well as a member of the 

Bolshoi Quartet. After immigrating to the 

Unites States, she was a member of the New 

York City Opera Orchestra and the Mostly 

Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center, New York. 

A true special event, “Caesar!” is not to be 

missed. Tickets are $40 and $60. For more information 

and tickets, visit ArtistSeriesConcerts.org 

or call (941) 306-1202. 

The Queen’s Six comes direct from Windsor 

Castle where they work and live. This extraordinary 

vocal sextet, drawn from the lay 

clerks of St. George’s Chapel, was recently 

featured on “CBS Sunday Morning.” In addition 

to their royal duties, they present concerts 

that include austere early chant, bawdy 

madrigals, haunting folk songs, and upbeat 

jazz and pop arrangements. This program, 

on December 17 at First Presbyterian Church, 

will also include seasonal favorites in the incomparable 

British tradition. Tickets are $40. 

In 2019, pianist Lin Ye wowed Sarasota 

audiences in two sold out programs. Having 

subsequently performed in prestigious 

venues worldwide, the former Artist Series 

Concerts prizewinner returns on February 

24 with a program of works by Rachmaninoff 

and the chamber version of Chopin’s beloved 

Piano Concerto #1. Ye will be joined by principal 

musicians of the Sarasota Orchestra for 

this concert at Church of the Palms. Tickets 

are $40 and $60. 

One of America’s most celebrated and dedicated 

string quartets, Miró Quartet has been 

performing to sold out houses in the world’s 

most prestigious concert halls since 1995. 

First prize winner in the Banff International 

String Quartet Competition and the Naumberg 

Chamber Music Competition, they have 

an Emmy Award-winning multimedia project 

titled “Transcendence.” Their May 5 program, 

at First Presbyterian Church, includes 

Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14, Op. 131, 

the piece around which the 2012 film “A Late 

Quartet” was based.

Key Chorale Presents 

Bachtoberfest 

A 3-day festival celebrating the music of 

Johann Sebastian Bach 

On October 13-15, Key 

Chorale Chamber Singers 

and Church of the Redeemer 

present its unique 

take on Oktoberfest, with 

a 3-day festival celebrating the music and 

genius of Johann Sebastian Bach. Enjoy 

four amazing concerts featuring the stunning 

virtuosity of soprano Mary Wilson, 

trumpeter Aaron Romm, vocalists, and 

chamber orchestra. Concluding with a 

Biergarten Experience of German food, 

beers from Calusa Brewing, and music 

from Bill Milner’s Oompah Band. Bach and 

Beer – a perfect combination! 

Featured guest artists include Aaron 

Romm, trumpet; Mary Wilson, soprano; 

Thea Lobo, Grammy-nominated mezzo-soprano; 

Lily Wohl, mezzo-soprano; 

Matt Morgan tenor; and David Tinervia, 

baritone. 

Two monumental works by Bach, 

his Magnificat and his Cantata No. 21, 

Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis (My heart 

was deeply troubled), will be performed 

honoring the 300th anniversary of their 

premieres. The festival will present four 

distinctive concerts showcasing the best 

of Bach from his organ works, to instrumental 

pieces, to choral masterworks. 

Each concert will also feature a motet. 

These are virtuosic wonders for choir. 

Intricate, challenging and joyous. Two of 

the motets performed are for two, 4-part 

choirs working in tandem, but often antiphonally 

with each other. These eight 

voice parts will be doubled with a group of 

woodwinds and a group of strings, helping 

the listener to hear the interplay between 

each of the choirs. 

“Certainly, the top shelf of all of Bach’s 

motets is Singet dem Herrn ein neus Lied 

(Sing unto the Lord a New Song), said 

Maestro Joseph Caulkins. “It is a firework 

display of virtuosity, of polyphonic richness 

– and the most challenging and difficult 

of the motets to perform. When Mozart 

first heard this piece, he was known to 

have said ‘Now there’s something you can 

learn from!’” 

Saturday’s concerts will feature music of 

Bach played on period instruments, instruments 

from the time of Bach himself. Sam 

Nelson will be the featured organist for a 

special afternoon recital followed by an 

exquisite evening of chamber music that 

he will lead. The concert concludes with 

Bach’s motet for 5-part choir and continuo, 

Jesu, meine Freude, performed using one 

voice per part. 

Maestro Caulkins will conduct the opening 

and closing concerts with choir, soloists, 

and professional chamber orchestra. 

Trumpeter Aaron Romm will be featured 

in both programs in the festive Brandenburg 

Concerto No. 2 and joyous Cantata 

No. 51, a tour de force for trumpet and 

soprano soloist Mary Wilson.

your healthier health you 

Craniosacral Therapy Can Be Life Changing 

CST treats the whole body physically, physiologically, mentally, emotionally and energetically 

Clients come to me because they are in physical 

pain such as neck, back, pain and TMJ as well as 

for chronic headaches and migraines. 

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 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 the dural tube 

that encases the spinal cord into the lower 

and upper back, the neck, the cranium and 

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. 

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 

breathers. Fascial stress in the diaphragm 

restricts the depth of breathing by restricting 

energy flow to the lungs, the pericardium 

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.

moving freely and that is completely new. I’m 

advanced craniosacral therapy 

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.” 

■ “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.”

Tammy 

Hauser 

Founder and CEO of 

Discover Sarasota 

Tours 

e 

e 

In 2018, she started 

Discover Sarasota Tours, 

starting with just three 

tours. Now they offer 16 

crafted tours offering a broad 

variety of experiences from 

Sarasota history, art, people 

and architecture while also 

offering lots of fun. 

e 


s a fellow business owner 

I have watched Tammy’s 

business, Discover Sarasota 

Tours (DST), expand and 

grow. It looks like such a 

fun business taking people 

around town and 

entertaining them with a variety of clever 

tours while visiting Sarasota. But of course, 

it must also be hard work. Is it? 

We’re sitting on the porch of one of those 

cute 1930’s era cottages on Fruitville Road 

in Sarasota. Inside is where guests sign in 

for their tours and then embark on one of 16 

themed excursions Discover Sarasota Tours 

offers. The Trolley Cottage, as it’s called, 

also has a gift shop that’s jam-packed with 

retro and uniquely Sarasota gifts. 

In front of us are Tammy’s ChillMobile, 

an updated, vintage Good Humor truck, 

and one of her tour vehicles named “Vanna 

White”, a nine-passenger van. In the back 

is her colorful trolley aptly named “Dolly 

the Trolley.” It’s here that Tammy runs and 

operates Discover Sarasota Tours, which is 

marking its fifth anniversary this October. 

How does an experienced arts consultant 

from Minneapolis became the owner 

and operator of a tour trolley company? 

It makes sense as you’ll see. In her prior 

career, Tammy, who has a B.A./Theater, 

M.B.A./Nonprofit Management, worked 

in theatre - onstage and off - and in arts 

administration. 

Then she moved into arts consulting, 

forming Blue Sky Thinking LLC, and working 

as an arts administrator for state grant 

makers, museums, theater and dance companies, 

Broadway theater, and live radio 

shows for 15 years. 

Working with numerous nonprofits, 

boards would often hire Tammy to revitalize 

their organizations. While it was 

successful, she found, “I had limited 

time,” and she realized she wanted to “do 

something that was not time-based.” To 

which she adds, “I wanted to have fun and 

make money.” 

She moved to Sarasota in 2015, continuing 

her work with nonprofits. Tammy 

was asked to take on leading the Center 

for Architecture Sarasota as part of a Gulf 

Coast Community Foundation consulting 

assignment. It was then that she developed 

an architecture-themed trolley tour. It was 

a smash hit with former Herald-Tribune 

real estate editor Harold Bubil and Lorrie 

Muldowney, president of the Sarasota Alliance 

for Historic Preservation, providing 

commentary. Afterwards, Tammy thought, 

why are there no trolley tours in tourist-friendly 

Sarasota? 

So in 2018 she started Discover Sarasota 

Tours initially thinking it would be a 

part-time gig. The business started with 

three tours: the Circus Tour, City Tour, and 

Haunted Tour. However, when COVID hit, 

her tour business ground to a halt. To keep 

the business going, she purchased a food 

truck. The ChillMobile as it’s called, is a 

vintage ice cream truck which she then 

took to places like Lakewood Ranch, selling 

frozen treats to a cautious public that wanted 

to stay outside. It was, “Eight hours in a 

truck - with a dog,” she recalls, but it was 

also lucrative and kept her business afloat. 

Like a lot of businesses, Tammy had 

to grow her business back, post-COVID. 

Through savvy marketing and clever 

branding, Discover Sarasota Tours now 

offers 16 unique tours. Some drive around 

downtown Sarasota, north to the The Ringling 

and beyond. Others drive to St. Armands, 

while others head to popular places 

like Ed Smith Stadium, Selby Gardens and 

Pinecraft, to name a few. 

With each tour you get a driver and an 

experienced guide - many of whom have 

been with her for five years. She calls them 

her “rock” as they provide the most important 

part of the tour. On the Architecture 

Tour you’ll see Sarasota’s multi-faceted 

architectural styles going back to the ‘20s 

with a focus on three distinctive styles: 

Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, and Mediterranean 

Revival. It’s informative (this 

long-time resident learned a lot) and you 

would never get this experience if you were 

crazy enough to try and do it yourself. 

Other tours like Haunted Sarasota, 

Leading Ladies of SRQ and the Murder 

Mystery tours employ local actors and offer 

a “rolling show” for all ages. Tammy’s 

background in education and theatre come 

into play. “People learn when having fun,” 

she feels. 

The tours are well thought out and are 

perfect for tourists as well as natives. The 

Murder Mystery tour is interactive and it’s 

perfect for family and friends or corporate 

fun nights. Tammy employs 32 people - 

tour guides, drivers, actors and the folks 

who operate the store and handle all the 

reservations. 

Tammy’s creativity - from the tours to 

the Cottage to the ice cream truck (which is 

available for parties and events) — shines 

through, but execution is also important. 

Tours leave on time. Actors rehearse. The 

van and trolley are air-conditioned and 

clean. She adds that all tours are family-friendly 

as well. Many who take tours 

are repeats customers and, she’s noted, 

“Sixty-five per cent are locals - that’s a 

good thing.” 

She’s always tinkering with the business 

- possibly expanding, possibly staying 

with what works now. Tammy’s a savvy 

marketer, fully utilizing best practices to 

run her website, manage tickets sales, place 

rack cards around town and sell ads in her 

brochure. 

October is here and that’s when her 

business really picks up and some of the 

most popular tours take place such as the 

“Haunted Sarasota Tour” which offers 

“Sarasota’s famous murders, haunted 

buildings, and unsolved crimes.” Then 

there’s the The BooMobile, an interactive 

musical adventure for kids of all ages. Next 

up will be the Christmas Carol Trolley: Letters 

to Santa and Downtown Holiday Music 

and Lights Tour for the Whole Family 

From her website, “Tammy’s career in 

the arts as a theater performer, director, 

and producer taught her how to bring stories 

to life in an informative and entertaining 

way which remains the hallmark aspect 

of all DST tours.” 

Discover Sarasota Tours has been recognized 

by Tripadvisor as a 2023 Travelers’ 

Choice award winner for attractions for the 

second year in a row. 

Rather than list all the tours DST offers, 

visit www.discoversarasotatours.com/ 

and be prepared to have some fun. If it’s not 

already obvious, she says, “I’m always trying 

to create fun.”

◆ “Brave Talk: Finding the Words to 

Confront Intolerance” is an interactive 

workshop that will be presented 

on November 5, 2-4 p.m. at Temple 

Beth Israel to help us speak up when 

we hear language that is offensive or 

derogatory. Frequently today we find 

that we need special social skills to 

respond effectively to comments that 

are intolerant, hostile and dismissive, 

politically outrageous, and often are 

racist, antisemitic, and homophobic. 

The workshop will teach skills to understand 

and respond to hurtful and 

destructive language, and it will offer 

a framework to craft and practice responses. 

This participatory workshop 

will be apolitical and nonjudgmental. 

Dr. Racelle Weiman, a master educator 

in conflict and prejudice resolution, 

will lead the workshop. She 

is known locally as the facilitator of 

Miracle on the Key. Her career includes 

work in more than 25 countries. 

She was a faculty member and 

directed institutes at the University 

of Haifa, Israel, Hebrew Union College, 

Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Dialogue 

Institute at Temple University 

in Philadelphia, PA. 

The program is open to the all and 

will be held in the social hall of Temple 

Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Rd., 

Longboat Key. There is no fee, but 

registration is required, and will be 

limited to the first 100 people. Register 

at Temple Beth Israel by calling 

941-383-3428 or email office@longboatkeytemple.org.

Researchers unveiled a promising 

link between adult edu- 

cation and reduced dementia 

risk. The study analyzed data 

from the UK Biobank, finding that in- 

dividuals involved in adult education 

courses had a 19% decreased chance of 

developing dementia. 

The protective effect wasn’t solely 

linked to underlying conditions like cardiovascular 

diseases or mental illness. 

More rigorous trials are needed to confirm 

these results. 

Key Facts: 

• Individuals attending adult education 

classes had a 19% lower risk of developing 

dementia. 

• The research analyzed data from 

282,421 UK Biobank participants aged 

between 40 and 69. 

How can we best keep our brain fit as we 

grow older? It’s well known that regular 

cognitive activity, for example brainteasers, 

sudokus, or certain video games 

in middle and old age tends to protect 

against cognitive decline and dementias 

like Alzheimer’s. 

But many of us take adult education 

classes, for example learning a language 

or a new skill. Is such adult education 

likewise associated with a lower risk of 

cognitive decline and dementia? 

Yes, according to researchers from the 

Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer 

of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan 

who have shown for the first time, in a new 

study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. 

“Here we show that people who take 

adult education classes have a lower risk 

of developing dementia five years later,” 

said Dr Hikaru Takeuchi, the study’s first 

author. “Adult education is likewise associated 

with better preservation of nonverbal 

reasoning with increasing age.” 

Takeuchi and his co-author, Dr Ryuta 

Kawashima, a professor at the same institute, 

analyzed data from the UK Biobank, 

which holds genetic, health, and medical 

information from approximately half a million 

British volunteers, of which 282,421 

participants were analyzed for this study. 

These had been enrolled between 2006 

and 2010, when between 40 and 69 years 

old. On average, they had been followed for 

seven years by the time of the present study. 

Based on their genotype at 133 relevant 

single-locus polymorphisms (SNPs) in 

their DNA, participants were given an individual 

predictive ‘polygenic risk score’ 

for dementia. Participants self-reported 

if they took any adult education classes, 

without specifying the frequency, subject, 

or academic level. 

The authors focused on data from the 

enrollment visit and third assessment 

visit, between 2014 and 2018. At those 

visits, participants were given a battery of 

psychological and cognitive tests, for example 

for fluid intelligence, visuospatial 

memory, and reaction time. 1.1% of participants 

in the sample developed dementia 

over the study’s time window. 

Takeuchi and Kawashima showed that 

participants who were taking part in adult 

education at enrollment had 19% lower risk 

of developing dementia than participants 

who did not. This held true for both Caucasian 

people and those of other ethnicities. 

Importantly, results were similar when 

participants with a history of diabetes, 

hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, 

cancer, or mental illness were excluded. 

This means that the observed lower risk 

wasn’t exclusively due participants with 

incipient dementia being prevented from 

following adult education by symptoms 

of these known co-morbidities. 

The results also showed that participants 

who took part in adult education 

classes kept up their fluid intelligence and 

nonverbal reasoning performance better 

than peers who did not. However, adult 

education didn’t affect the preservation of 

visuospatial memory or reaction time. 

“One possibility is that engaging in intellectual 

activities has positive results 

on the nervous system, which in turn may 

prevent dementia. But ours is an observational 

longitudinal study, so if a direct 

causal relationship exists between adult 

education and a lower risk of dementia, 

it could be in either direction,” said 

Kawashima. 

Takeuchi proposed that a randomized 

clinical trial be done to prove any protective 

effect of adult education. 

“This could take the form of a controlled 

trial where one group of participants is 

encouraged to participate in an adult education 

class, while the other is encouraged 

to participate in a control intervention 

with equivalent social interaction, 

but without education,“ said Takeuchi.

healthier you 

Y 

our sleep position can either 

help or hinder that process, 

depending on how effectively it 

supports the natural curvature 

of your spine. It’s also common 

for people to wake up with brand new 

aches and pains in the morning, sometimes 

due to sleep position. 

We spend a third of our lives asleep or 

resting, so it’s important to choose a sleep 

position that assists your body with physical 

recovery. A proper sleep position can 

relieve stress on your spine, while an unhealthy 

position can increase pain or stiffness 

in the back, arms, or shoulders, all 

while contributing to lower-quality sleep. 

What Is the Best Sleeping Position? 

The best sleep position is one that promotes 

healthy spinal alignment from 

your hips all the way to your head. What 

that looks like for you depends on your 

personal health situation and what you 

find comfortable. 

Having said that, there are some positions 

that are considered healthier than 

others. Specifically, sleeping on the side 

or back is considered more beneficial 

than sleeping on the stomach. In either 

of these sleep positions, it’s easier to 

keep your spine supported and balanced, 

which relieves pressure on the spine and 

enables your muscles to relax and recover. 

Different sleep positions provide different 

benefits that may be helpful for you if 

you’re dealing with back pain or a health 

condition. In these cases, it may be worth 

trying a new sleep position to enable 

more restful sleep. In one study, a group 

of adults with back pain were trained to 

sleep on their back or their side. They experienced 

significant pain relief in just 

four weeks. 

Adjusting to a new sleep position takes 

time. However, if sleeping on your stomach 

feels good to you, don’t feel forced to 

change it. You can minimize your risk of 

pain and improve spinal alignment with 

the right mattress and pillow. 

Sleeping on Your Side 

More than 60% of people sleep on their 

side, with men spending more time on 

their sides each night than women. As 

children, we split our nights by sleeping 

in all positions equally, but by adulthood, 

a clear preference for side sleeping emerges. 

The flexibility of our spine decreases as 

we age, which may make the side sleeping 

position more comfortable for older adults. 

Sleeping on your side promotes healthy 

spinal alignment and is the sleep position 

least likely to result in back pain, especially 

when supported with pillows. Side sleeping 

also may reduce heartburn and snoring, 

making it particularly beneficial for: 

• Pregnant women 

• People with acid reflux 

• People with back pain 

• People who snore or have sleep apnea 

• Older people 

The side sleeping position is not recommended 

for people with shoulder pain 

or people worried about wrinkles. Side 

sleeping can lead to soreness or tightness 

in your shoulders, so it’s good to shift 

positions occasionally and use the most 

appropriate pillow and mattress. Ensure 

your mattress has enough “give” to allow 

your hips and shoulders to sink in deeper 

than your middle spine. 

Side sleeping can also contribute to facial 

wrinkles since your face is pressed 

against the pillow, stretching and compressing 

the skin. 

If you’re already a side sleeper and want 

to go for that gold star, opt to sleep on 

your left instead of your right side. Sleeping 

on the right may increase pressure on 

your internal organs, which is why experts 

recommend the left for pregnant women 

and sleepers with acid reflux or gastroesophageal 

reflux disease (GERD). Sleeping 

on the right can also intensify symptoms 

of heartburn. 

Sleeping in a way that’s less symmetrical 

can increase your risk of pain symptoms 

upon waking up, so use pillows to achieve 

a side sleeping position that aligns your 

spine from hips to your head. Put pillows 

on either side of your body to keep yourself 

in place, and place a small pillow between 

the knees to even out the hips. 

Best Sleeping Position for Pregnancy 

Experts recommend that those who are 

pregnant sleep on their side with the 

knees bent. The side sleeping position 

relieves the pressure of a growing belly, 

enabling the heart to pump and blood to 

flow easily throughout the body. In particular, 

the left side is recommended because 

it prevents pressure on the liver and 

facilitates healthy blood flow to the fetus, 

uterus, kidneys, and heart. 

If you feel discomfort sleeping on your 

left side during pregnancy, you can switch 

to the right side now and then to relieve 

pressure on the left hip. You can also relieve 

tension by placing pillows under the 

belly, between the legs, and at the small 

of the back. 

Best Sleeping Position for Back Pain 

The best sleeping position for is on your 

side with a pillow or blanket between the 

knees. Side sleeping can also relieve symptoms 

for those with neck or back pain. 

Choose a pillow with a loft, or thickness, 

that matches the distance between your 

neck and your shoulder. With a thicker 

pillow, your neck will stay aligned with 

your spine as you sleep on your side, preventing 

pain and soreness while maintaining 

proper alignment. 

Sleeping on Your Back 

Best Sleeping Positions 

During sleep, your body works to restore and repair itself 

Lying on the back is the second most popular 

sleep position, with plenty of benefits 

to rival the side sleeping position. When 

you’re flat on your back, it’s easy to keep 

your spine in alignment and to evenly 

distribute your body weight, preventing 

any potential aches in the neck or back. 

Sleeping on the back can also relieve the 

congestion of a stuffy nose or allergies, so 

long as you prop yourself up into an upright 

position. 

Your skin also benefits from the back 

sleeping position. Since you’re facing upward, 

there is no pillow or mattress pressing 

against your face and contributing to 

wrinkles. Back sleeping may be particularly 

beneficial for: 

• People with lumbar spinal pain 

• People worried about wrinkles 

• People with neck pain 

• People with nasal congestion 

The back sleeping position is not recommended 

for: 


• People who snore or have sleep apnea 

• People with some types of back pain 

• People with GERD or acid reflux 

• Heavier adults 

• Older adults 

Back sleeping is the worst sleeping position 

for people with snoring and sleep 

apnea because it leaves you susceptible 

to airway collapse. More than half of 

people have position-dependent sleep 

apnea, meaning that the severity of their 

symptoms increases when they lie on 

their back. Especially as we grow older 

or heavier, it becomes harder to breathe 

while lying on our backs, due to the pressure 

of gravity on the body. 

Also, while some people feel relief from 

the back sleeping position, others find it 

increases their back pain. Depending on 

the firmness of your mattress, a small gap 

can form between your lower back and 

the mattress surface, which can lead to 

uncomfortable tension in the lower back. 

You can resolve this by placing a thin 

pillow in that area, or placing a pillow under 

your knees instead. Either way, you’ll 

relieve pressure while supporting the natural 

curvature of your spine. You can also 

switch between back and side sleeping 

throughout the night. 

The back sleeping position is not recommended 

for pregnant women because 

a growing baby can add pressure 

on the heart and make it difficult for 

blood to flow easily. 

Best Sleeping Position for Neck Pain 

Lying on the back is the best sleep position 

for neck pain, as it prevents the misalignment 

that can occur in the side or 

stomach positions. To prevent neck pain, 

use a pillow that supports the neck while 

letting your head sink deeper. Memory 

foam pillows or pillows with a divot for the 

head are good options. Alternately, you 

can roll a towel underneath your neck and 

use a flatter pillow for your head. 

When sleeping on your back, aim to 

keep your arms in similar positions. For 

example, having them both lie by your 

sides is preferable to having one rested on 

your forehead, as that causes unevenness 

in the spine that can contribute to shoulder 

or neck pain. 

Best Sleeping Position for Stuffy Nose 

If you’re coping with allergies or a stuffy 

nose, use pillows to prop up your upper 

back so you’re in more of an upright position, 

without collapsing the spine. This 

positioning can enable your airways to 

stay open and may help drain your nose. 

Avoid lying flat on your back, as that 

may increase nasal congestion. 

Sleeping on Your Stomach 

The stomach is the least popular sleep position. 

Research suggests we spend less 

than 10% of our night sleeping in this position. 

Stomach sleeping does have some 

benefits, however. Namely, the stomach 

sleeping position can help relieve snoring, 

by opening up your airway. However, your 

ribs do have to work against gravity in order 

to breathe in this position, which may 

force you to use more energy and thereby 

make your sleep less restful. 

The stomach sleeping position comes 

with several drawbacks and is not recommended 

for most people. In particular, 

the following people should avoid sleeping 

on their stomachs: 


• People with neck or back pain 

• People worried about wrinkles 

The stomach position provides the least 

back support of all sleeping positions and 

increases pressure on the spine, sometimes 

causing pain upon waking up. In 

order to sleep on your stomach, you must 

sleep with your head facing one side, invariably 

twisting your neck and head out 

of alignment with the rest of your spine. 

If your mattress isn’t firm enough, your 

stomach and hips will sink into the mattress, 

uncomfortably stretching your spine 

out of alignment. This kind of asymmetrical 

sleep posture can negatively impact 

your spine over time. Also, sleeping on the 

stomach can contribute to facial wrinkles, 

since your face is pressed against the pillow 

or the surface of the mattress. 

The best sleep position for you is whichever 

sleep position enables you to enjoy a 

restful night of uninterrupted sleep and 

wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, 

without any aches and pains. If that describes 

your current sleep position, don’t 

feel forced to change it. If you think a new 

position might make sleep more comfortable 

for you, though, go ahead and try another 

position.

Fight Climate Change by Eating More Plant-based Foods? 

Food choices can have a direct impact on the health of the planet 

Daily food choices can 

have a direct impact on 

the health of the planet. 

Everything we consume 

— from lettuce and soy 

milk to shredded cheese 

and beef — requires resources to produce. But 

some foods are more resource intensive than 

others. 

When it comes to agriculture, meat production 

has the most significant impact on the 

environment and climate change. Livestock 

production alone contributes an estimated 

14.5% of all global greenhouse gas emissions 

from human activities — more than the entire 

transportation sector. 

Raising billions of heads of livestock requires 

unimaginable quantities of land, feed, water, 

and energy. But it doesn’t end there. After the 

animals are grown, they require more resources in order to process, store, and 

transport the final product. When it comes to resource-intensive livestock, the 

cattle industry is the gravest offender. Ruminant animals, like cattle, produce 

methane gas as part of their digestion, and this process alone is responsible for 

nearly a third of all the emissions from the agricultural sector. 

The environmental impact of food production can appear daunting and overwhelming 

— but it shouldn’t. Because unlike many of the world’s issues, there’s 

something we can actually do to fix this problem: eat responsibly. 

How? Eat more plant-based meals and significantly reduce dairy and meat consumption. 

Start with adopting Meatless Monday, which simply suggests cutting 

out any animal products for one day a week. You can also make a conscious effort 

to reduce your food waste. That means eating food before it spoils and saving leftovers. 

There’s also a number of foods that are more environmentally sustainable, 

such as lentils, soy beans (and tofu), tomatoes (when grown locally), peas, broccoli, 

and oranges. Supporting local farmers and buying local produce is another 

good way to minimize the environmental impacts of your meals. 

BROCCOLI One of the most popular vegetables is also one of the most protein 

dense, with one cup of cooked broccoli containing 2.5 grams of protein. Roast 

it, sauté it, or steam it for a quick and nutritious side dish. 

CHIA SEEDS Small but mighty, 1 ounce of chia seeds packs nearly 5 grams 

protein. Drop a spoonful into a smoothie or combine with a liquid like juice or 

nut milk to make a fun-textured chia pudding. 

CHICKPEAS Cooked chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus and boast 

nearly 15 grams of protein per cup. 

EDAMAME Popular in Japan and other areas of East Asia, edamame is as close 

you can get to a perfect food: One cup of cooked edamame contains 8 grams of 

fiber, 17 grams of protein, and is only 189 calories. 

FARRO One of the lesser known “ancient grains,” a quarter cup of uncooked farro 

contains 6 grams of protein. Its toothsome texture adds a pleasant chew to 

grain bowls and salads. 

FROZEN VEGGIE BURGERS There are tons of different types of pre-made frozen 

veggie burgers varying in ingredients, texture, and flavorful, and although their 

nutritional profiles differ, you can generally expect between 10-15 grams of 

protein per patty. 

HEMP SEED Heralded as a “superfood,” hemp seeds have a subtle, nutty flavor 

similar to pine nuts. In baking, hemp seeds can be used as a nut replacement, 

but it can also be added to smoothies, with 2 tablespoons containing over 6 

grams of protein. 

JACKFRUIT Jackfruit is often marketed as a plant-based alternative to pulled pork, 

with a meaty, stringy texture fit for faux barbecue platters and sandwiches. 

There are a handful of brands selling products made with jackfruit in the 

refrigerated section of supermarkets. Jack fruit is not the most protein-dense 

item on this list, but it still contains 3 grams per cup. 

KIDNEY BEANS These hefty beans are dense, nourishing, and nutrient-packed. 

One cup of cooked kidney beans contains roughly 13 grams of protein (as well 

as 13 grams of fiber). 

LENTILS With tons of fiber and almost no saturated fat, look to use lentils as the 

foundation of multiple meals throughout the week. A cup of cooked lentils 

contains 18 grams of protein and more than half your recommended daily 

value of fiber. 

MUNG BEANS Mainly cultivated in East and Southeast Asia, the mung bean 

is often used as the foundation of stews, vegetable patties, or dal. One cup 

of cooked mung beans contains 14 grams of protein. Nung beans are easier to 

find dry rather than cooked and canned. 

NUT BUTTERS Not all nut butters are considered equal when it comes to protein 

content (or flavor), they generally contain around 4 grams of protein per 

tablespoon. 

OATMEAL A cup of cooked oatmeal contains 6 grams of protein; pair it with 

This dish is sort of like 

barbecue and sort of like 

curry, savory and sweet 

at the same time. Allow 

plenty of time for the 

pressing and marinating. 

The drier the tofu gets 

before you put it in the 

marinade, the better. It 

will soak up more flavor 

and be nicely chewy. 

INGREDIENTS: 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Makes 6 servings 

F Jamaican Jerk Tofu 

1 pound extra firm tofu, drained, 

sliced and pressed 

1/2 large sweet onion, roughly 

chopped 

4 cloves garlic 

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated 

Juice of 2 limes 

Zest of 1 lime 

2 tablespoons soy sauce 

a scoop of peanut butter and a sprinkling 

of hemp or chia seeds for a protein-packed 

breakfast. 

PLANT-BASED MEAT A typical plant-based 

burger patty contains 20 grams of protein. 

Many quick-service restaurant chains now 

offer versions of their classic menu items 

featuring some variety of plant-based meat. 

QUINOA Technically a seed, quinoa is a 

good source of protein that can serve as the 

foundation of any meatless meal. A cup of 

cooked quinoa boasts around 8 grams of 

protein. 

SEITAN The original plant-based meat 

replacement, seitan — which is made from 

wheat gluten — is packed with protein and 

can be quite tasty when properly prepared. A 

3-ounce serving of seitan includes between 

15-20 grams of protein, a number that is comparable to most animal proteins. 

SOY MILK The market for non-dairy nut milks has exploded in recent years, but 

soy milk remains the most nutritious option. One cup of soy milk has 8 grams 

of protein, which makes it a nice base for smoothies and shakes. 

SPROUTED BREAD Sprouted bread is a certain category of bread made from 

grains that have been allowed to germinate (aka sprout) before being milled 

into flour. Ezekiel Bread — a common brand of sprouted bread — contains 4 

grams of protein and only 80 calories per slice. 

SUNFLOWER SEEDS Who would’ve thought that the innocent little sunflower 

seed could pack such a protein punch? A half-cup of sunflower seeds has 15 

grams of proteins. Bring some in a baggy for a quick and nutritious snack. 

TOFU There are imitators and then there are originators. Tofu — made from 

soy beans — is sold in a variety of textures and forms, but no matter the type, 

you’re guaranteed to get a solid dose of plant-based protein, with a half-cup 

offering around 10 grams. 

Here’s a recipe for Jamaican Jerk Tofu —the most popular recipe on the Meatless 

Monday website. 

Jamaican Jerk Tofu T 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup 

1 tablespoon dried thyme 

2 teaspoons allspice 

1/2 teaspoon cayenne 

1 teaspoon nutmeg 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and 

chopped 

Slice the tofu into thick slabs then lay the slices on several layers of paper towels or on 

a clean dish towel and place a heavy plate or skillet on top. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, 

ideally for an hour or two. 

Pressing the tofu is a way to get the extra moisture out – and the drier you can get the 

tofu, the more of the flavorful marinade it can absorb. 

Puree all the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor to create the marinade. 

Place the tofu slices in a bowl, pour in the marinade, making sure to coat all the 

slices, and cover. Let it sit for an hour or two, flipping the slices about halfway through 

Heat a skillet with a small amount of olive oil over medium high heat. When the pan 

is hot, lay the tofu slices in a single layer and sauté until crispy and browned. That will 

take 8-10 minutes on each side.

Breathe Easier – October 

is Healthy Lung Month! 

OCTOBER 17 AT 7PM 

Tickets 

On Sale 

O 

or lungs are vital to our 

health. They filter the air we 

breathe, provide us with the 

oxygen we need to exist, and 

allow us to speak to one another 2 . Quite 

simply, without healthy, functioning 

lungs, one’s quality of life is substantially 

and adversely impacted. 

Healthy Lung month is an opportunity 

to be more conscientious about your 

lung health, to take steps to improve 

your lung health and, ultimately, to improve 

your quality of life! 

Implementing the following steps is a 

great way to prioritize your lung health: 

1 

2 

3 

Prevent illness. Lung illnesses put 

a strain on your entire respiratory 

system, not just your lungs. Preventing 

infections that lead to illnesses 

by washing your hands regularly, 

practicing good hygiene, and eating 

a healthy, nutrient-dense diet are essential 

in protecting your lungs from 

pathogens that can devastate your 

immune system. 1 

Exercise regularly. Physical exercise 

doesn’t just make your muscles 

stronger, it makes your lungs 

stronger too! Healthy adults should 

be moderately exercising approximately 

30 minutes a day, five days 

a week. Moderate exercise can be 

enjoying a brisk walk, playing with 

your children or pets at the park, or 

even cleaning your house! Improving 

your lung strength doesn’t need 

to be intense; it just needs to be 

consistent. 1 

Quit smoking. Smoking is a 

major cause of heart disease and 

lung disease. In fact, smoking and 

tobacco-related illnesses are the 

leading cause of preventable death 

in the United States. 3,4 Quitting 

smoking can benefit your health 

almost immediately. 

Fortunately, help to quit smoking is free! 

Gulfcoast South Area Health Education 

Center (GSAHEC), as part of the 

Tobacco Free Florida AHEC Cessation 

Program—offers free tobacco cessation 

sessions that are available to help someone 

quit all forms of tobacco. These 

group sessions, held virtually and in-person, 

provide information about the effects 

of tobacco use, the benefits of quitting, 

and will assist you with developing 

your own customized quit plan. Free nicotine 

replacement therapy in the form 

of patches, gum or lozenges (if medically 

appropriate and while supplies last) are 

provided with the session. 

Contact us today at 866-534-7909 or 

visit www.tobaccofreeflorida.com/ 

groupquitcalendar to schedule a class 

or learn more about the program! 

4 Get screened. Early detection is 

crucial in identifying lung cancer 

and establishing a favorable prognosis. 

In fact, screening for lung 

cancer using low-dose CT scans 

can lower the chance of dying from 

lung cancer by 20 percent, according 

to the National Lung Cancer 

Screening Trial. 1 

If you are between the ages of 55 

and 77, have a 30 pack-year history 

of smoking (smoking an average 

of a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 

years), are a current smoker or have 

quit smoking in the last 15 years, 

you should be screened for lung 

cancer. Contact your local hospitals 

and lung care clinics to learn more 

about screenings available to the 

community.

Five advances 

in cancer treatment 

Although the rate of cancer 

diagnosis has fallen slightly 

post-COVID-19, cancer remains 

a common diagnosis 

in the U.S., affecting almost 

2 million people annually. 

According to the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention, cancer remains 

the leading cause of death in the U.S. 

The chronic nature of cancer is one 

of the reasons why there is so much research 

happening with countless organizations, 

including Mayo Clinic, which 

is always identifying and evaluating 

new treatment options to improve outcomes 

and reduce the burden of cancer 

for patients and their families. 

Advancements in cancer therapy are 

increasing survival rates and offering 

hope for a cure to more people. We 

are now treating cancer more precisely 

and with fewer side effects. Here are 

five innovative cancer treatments that 

are changing the landscape of cancer. 

1. CAR-T cell therapy 

Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy 

(CAR-T) is a relatively new therapy 

that was first approved in 2017 for the 

treatment of certain types of lymphoma, 

leukemia and multiple myeloma. Mayo 

Clinic was one of the centers that treated 

people as part of the clinical trial that led 

to the approval of this treatment. 

CAR-T cell therapy uses the power of 

your immune system to fight your cancer. 

It involves modifying your immune 

cells and training them to attack 

the cancer cells in your body. 

CAR-T cell therapy is used to treat 

various conditions including specific 

types of lymphomas and 

leukemias, as well as multiple myeloma. 

With CAR-T cell therapy, 

about 70% to 80% of people with 

lymphoma experience remission, 

meaning their symptoms of cancer 

are reduced or gone. 

2. Immune checkpoint inhibitors 

These therapies enhance your immune 

system’s ability to detect and eliminate 

cancer cells. The inhibitors stop your 

body’s natural checkpoints from limiting 

the body’s immune response to cancer 

cells. The first checkpoint inhibitor 

was approved by the Food and Drug Administration 

in 2011 to treat melanoma. 

Since then, 15 more immune checkpoint 

inhibitors have been approved to treat 

over a dozen cancers, including smallcell 

lung, liver and colorectal cancers. 

3. Minimally invasive surgery 

Minimally invasive surgery is defined as 

the use of small incisions and specialized 

instruments to remove cancer tissue. 

Since the incisions are smaller than in 

traditional procedures, minimally invasive 

surgery is associated with less pain, 

fewer complications and faster recovery 

times. In recent years, minimally invasive 

surgical techniques have evolved further, 

and some surgeons are even using robotic 

technology to work more accurately 

and safely in the body’s smallest spaces. 

Robotic surgery techniques are available 

for more diseases than ever before. 

4. Personalized cancer vaccines 

Similar to vaccines for childhood diseases 

and other illnesses, cancer vaccines have 

the potential not only to treat certain 

cancers, but to prevent its recurrence. 

Several cancer vaccines already are approved 

to treat melanoma, bladder cancer 

and prostate cancer, but researchers 

are incredibly excited about personalized 

mRNA cancer vaccines. 

These vaccines would be custom-made 

for an individual based on the specific 

genetic features of their tumor. Personalized 

mRNA cancer vaccines are expected 

to be accessible within this decade. 

5. Advances in radiation therapies 

For patients with certain types of 

cancers, radiation therapy often is 

prescribed as a part of treatment. 

Many people are familiar with proton 

beam therapy, which is a highly 

precise radiation treatment that 

destroys cancer cells while sparing 

surrounding healthy tissue. 

Proton therapy has been found 

to cause fewer side effects. Though

ago, refinements continue 

to improve its usefulness in many 

tumor types. 

The next advancement in radiation 

therapy is something known 

as carbon ion therapy. Like proton beam 

therapy — with its ability to precisely target 

and destroy cancer cells while sparing 

healthy tissue — carbon ion therapy is 

currently used to treat cancers that may 

be resistant to proton therapy. It is only 

available at a handful of medical centers 

in Europe and Asia. Mayo Clinic is building 

the first carbon ion therapy facility in 

North America at its campus in Jacksonville, 

Florida.

a 50-acre “pleasure garden” in Wayne, PA 

It’s a colorful, contemporary garden within an historic setting 

If you’ve ever wondered exactly what the Main 

Line looks like in real time, a visit to Wayne, PA, 

illustrates things beautifully. The Main Line was 

where wealthy industrialists from the 19th century 

and early 20th century built their “country” 

estates to escape or take a break from city life. 

The Main Line’s growth was due to a new railroad 

that connected all the Main Line towns in the 19th 

century. Then came sprawling country estates belonging 

to Philadelphia’s wealthiest families, and 

over the decades became a bastion of “old money.” 

And with that money came beautiful stately homes 

spread out over many acres with rolling hills, a 

mansion and often exquisite gardens. Times have 

changed and the mansions are fewer and descendants 

don’t have the same interests as their ancestors. 

Some have sold and saw their estates carved 

up into dozens of homes. Or, some wealthy people 

donated their land and property. Such is the case 

case with a place called Chanticleer. 

The Chanticleer estate dates from the early 

20th-century when Adolph Rosengarten, Sr., and 

his wife Christine chose the Wayne- 

St. Davids area to build their country 

retreat. The family’s pharmaceutical 

firm would become part of Merck & 

Company in the 1920s and gave them 

their wealth. 

The Rosengartens hired architect 

Charles L. Borie to design the house, 

which was completed in 1913. Landscape 

architect Thomas Sears designed 

the terraces as extensions of 

the house. 

The property stayed in the Rosengarten 

family until Adolph, Jr., left the 

entire property for the enjoyment 

and education of the public following 

his death in 1990. A nine member 

Board of Directors, six of whom are 

Rosengarten relatives, oversees The 

Chanticleer Foundation. The garden 

opened to the public in 1993. 

It could have been a typical, formal garden, but instead, 

Chanticleer is more like a fanciful playground 

for all ages and it’s anything but stodgy. First of all, 

unlike most gardens, there’s no signage. Instead 

they have unique handmade boxes (one looks like a 

beehive) that have plant lists including images and 

descriptions which you can use, but are encouraged 

to return. 

The depth and effortless density of flowers is truly 

spectacular. Spring means a river of daffodils, tulips, 

hyacinths, crocuses and more if you are craving that 

typical that northern crush of color. Fall means the 

tall trees will be going out in a blaze of color. But it’s 

beautiful there year round and you can picnic on the 

grounds in the milder weather. Check online to see 

what’s in bloom. 

Starting my visit this past spring, I was surprised to see 

banana trees, areca palms and other subtropical pants 

near the house where they can grow in the milder 

months before being covered in the cold months. 

Places to rest and pause 

and whimsical and all handmade 

Chanticleer is not overwhelming in the sense that 

you’ll be walking for miles. Rather it’s a winding 

route with dense plantings, whimsical sculptures 

and made-to-look structures. It’s a place to stroll and 

please the senses. It’s better than munchkin land. 

Just the Facts 

This year Chanticleer celebrated 30 years as a public 

garden back in May. Within 30 minutes of Philadelphia, 

Chanticleer is one of the great gardens of the 

region. Once the Rosengarten home, today’s Chanticleer 

is a colorful, contemporary garden within an 

historic setting. Closes November 3; reopens March 27 

Location: 

786 Church Rd, Wayne, PA 19087, 

30 minutes west of Philadelphia. 

Valley Forge is nearby.

How Craniosacral Therapy Can Be Life Changing 

“Doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists and chiros 

gave me little relief. Terry relieved my pain, after all these years! 

He has also helped four of my other friends. The man is an angel, 

with a gift from God....thank you Terry!!” 

www.enSRQ.org 

“After 3 sessions, I had more range of motion and mobility in my 

neck, shoulders and hips. I was getting to the point where walking 

and moving was difficult. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my 

shoulders, my voice is stronger and my energy is greatly increased. 

I feel much calmer and more grounded!!” 

“I no longer feel physically sick each morning. No gastroenterologist 

or physician has ever properly diagnosed my mucus build up until 

now. As well as bringing about healing in my gut, he released an 

incredible amount of tension in my upper body.” 

“The question is where has he been all my life? Terry is a true healer 

and if you are serious about being well, you are in luck. 

He is effective and lovely.”
