Creekside Commons to Be Built in Parrish
Finally there is going to be activity on the large shopping plaza
behind the CVS at the corner of
US 301 and Erie Road. This project was originally approved by
Manatee County Commissioners
eight years ago and at that time
its anchor store was a Sweetbay
Grocery. Two years ago, an updated plan was filed by enderson
Development LLC, the property
owner and developer, to accommodate a much larger anchor
store.
There has been a great deal
of speculation in our community
about what the anchor store would
be with most people divided between a Target, Lowes or Home
Depot. Well, now we know the
anchor is going to be a 158,599
square foot Walmart (to help put
that in perspective the shopping
center directly across 301 from
this location is about 85,000
square feet total). The Walmart on
SR 64 is 211,000 square feet and
the Walmart on SR 70 just east of
U.S. 301
I-75 is 150,000 square feet.
In addition to the Walmart
there will be 50,000 square feet of

Kathryn reminisces about

The Parrish Fire Department has taken delivery of a new engine
that will mean better fire service to our growing Parrish community.
Called a Pumper, the new equipment is used to get water from the fire
hydrant onto a structural or vehicle fire.
The new pumper is able to pump 1,500 gallons per minute of water
once hooked up to the hydrant which is about 20% more capacity than
the current Pumper. t will be used as first unit out with the current
Pumper becoming the backup or second unit out.
The current Pumper was purchased new by the Fire District in
and fire officials said that years is a long life for a first unit out
piece of equipment. They added that growth in both residential and
commercial development in Parrish was a major factor in the decision
to purchase the new engine.
The new Pumper was manufactured in Appleton, Wisconsin by
Pierce Equipment at a total cost of $460,000. Money for the purchase
came from impact fees which are generated by the sale of new residential and commercial buildings.

Message from the Editor
Well, this week has been an interesting one for me: our home has been without land-line
telephone service for over a week. Normally, people would say that it is okay, use your cell,
make do!
We did that, but we still needed the land-line for the newspaper. Many of you who might
have called never received return calls even though you may have left messages (which, oh,
by the way, we could not receive).
What on earth must Frontier (who took over Verizon) have been thinking when they were SO
unprepared for what occurred. We called them (on our cell phones), waited on hold for over
an hour at times, talked with various support people in New York, Tampa, who knows where
else to no avail. We were told lots of tasks to attempt and we felt if they had told us to stand
on our heads (to make the phone work) we would have done so. We were told it would be
repaired within hours and that it was merely a software problem. T A A A O T
FIASCO!
e’re back in service and now hope it never occurs again.

There is always aneed to give blood. The need for blood is great—on any given day, an average of 40,000 units of donated blood
are used each day in the . . and Canada. lood transfusions often are needed for trauma victims due to accidents and burns heart
surgery, organ transplants, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease and Thalassemia.
D C reports that in 00 , nearly
million units of blood components were transfused. And with an aging population and
advances in medical treatments and procedures requiring blood transfusions, the demand for blood continues to increase.
To be eligible to donate blood, a person must be in good health and generally must be at least 17 years of age (although some states
permit younger people, with parental consent, to donate). Minimum weight requirements may vary among facilities, but generally, donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. Most blood banks have no upper age limit. All donors must pass the physical and health history
e aminations given prior to donation. olunteer donors provide nearly all blood used for transfusion in the nited tates. The donor’s
body replenishes the uid lost from donation in hours. t may take up to two months to replace the lost red blood cells. hole blood
can be donated once every eight weeks (56 days). Two units of red blood cells can be donated at one time, using a process known as red
cell apheresis. This type of donation can be made every 16 weeks.

Meet Attorney
David Agee
Carol Ciarniello, Parrish Professionals
How often have you heard the saying,
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”? How often have you met a person
who truly embodies that saying? David
Agee is such a person. From his childhood
his mother instilled that virtue (if you will)
in him, and David has applied it liberally
throughout his life. It was especially put
to the test with his career path---his desire
was to go into law enforcement as a United
States Customs Inspector, and then later in
life become an attorney. He had completed
all the necessary qualifications to become a
Customs Inspector, but an accident in 1996
ended that dream. Picking up the pieces,
David enrolled in law school, and in 2004
he was admitted to the Florida ar. o now,
folks in Manatee and surrounding counties
are been blessed to have a knowledgeable,
compassionate attorney to assist them with estate planning, real estate transactions and
business law.
hen you hear him speak, it’s clear that David has a heart for helping people, and
he is passionate about using the tools of the law to protect them. For instance, did you
know that the Healthcare Advocate statute was changed in 2015? If you are named as a
Healthcare urrogate or if you have Healthcare urrogate Directive, please make sure it’s
updated or you could find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
Do you have young children t’s crucial to have a Trust Agreement that spells out
who and how they should be cared for in the event that something happens to you. And
this leads to a very important point: the time to establish a relationship with an attorney is
O
Don’t wait until you’re in the throes of a stressful situation and then make a hasty
decision. David and his team at Reid and Agee Law Firm will create a plan tailored to
your specific needs and keep you abreast of any pertinent revisions and or additions to the
laws that could affect your family and or your business.
hen asked who has been most in uential in his life, David quickly says that fore
most is his relationship with God and His “grace in my life”; then he adds his mother and
his wife.
Another common saying is, ehind every successful man there is a good woman.
David is quick to point out that his wife ily is in uential and supportive.
In fact, she helps him to “think outside the box!” One way that can be seen is that this
family life attorney is also a chicken farmer Yes, it’s true. At ayberry Acres,
C,
David and his family raise and sell pasture-raised chickens and eggs. They market them
at the radenton Farmers’ arket or you can buy them direct from the farm by calling
863-448-9300.
On behalf of the chickens, please use David’s services as an attorney so they can
continue to live the good life in the country, and please buy the eggs; otherwise, the chickens will be unemployed and they’ll have to y the coop

A Nation of Multi-tasking
Texters & Surfers!
One doesn’t have to look very far to find
someone with their eyes glued to their cell
phone. You find them everywhere restau
rants, grocery stores, shopping malls, etc.
In fact, a recent study shows nearly 91% of
adults use cell phones with 56% of those owning smart phones The numbers don’t lie
we are embracing technology in a big way.
Are you still using your cell phone to
make phone calls? I say this facetiously of
course, but the truth is so many of us think
of voice connection as minor function of our
phone. t’s funny to imagine a phone used
more often for surfing and te ting than for
Leslie Wells
talking, but that’s often the case. Think about
the last time you were out to eat and observed other diners; how many had a phone in
their hand or within their reach? While they may not been talking on their device, they
were connected to other beings, through texting and messaging, photo sharing, research
and more.
So why does this matter, you say? With 92% of homebuyers searching for real-estate
online, cell phones have quickly become one of our top sales tools! Over the last few
years, we’ve seen an upward trend related to buyers not only using their mobile device to
call a real estate agent, but also texting codes to get information or instantaneous stats on a
particular property. This may be surprising to you, but in most cases, real estate shopping
starts with the Internet.
e’ve developed into a busy society of multi taskers, with the desire and e pecta
tion of immediate results. uyers and sellers alike are now finding te t messages to top
agents are answered quicker than traditional phone messaging. When we hear sellers say
that they don’t te t, they don’t do Facebook or any other form of social media and are not
interested in marketing this way, we take pause. n today’s market, selling your home
means thinking differently. The buyers are there and, for the most part, they are wireless.
It would be to your detriment for an agent not to take advantage of the technological opportunities which allow us to get your home in front of thousands of people in the blink
of an eye. Statistics have taught us and helped us to understand how clients are searching
for information. Top agents now position marketing accordingly to be more receptive to
client needs.
Table of texters sitting next to you at the local cafe, the ones glued to their phone, one
of them just may be the future owner of your home!
Happy other’s Day to all the special moms, grandmothers, step moms, aunts, sis
ters and friends!
Please take time to honor our veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our free
doms and proudly y our American ag.

A view of the Adriatic from Bosnia.
n the war torn country of Yugoslavia no region has suffered more than the territory
known as osnia Her egovina. The reasons are comple and go back many years. Please
bear with me as I share some history and set the stage for our visit to this troubled land.
osnia Her egovina is completely surrounded by Croatia, erbia, and ontenegro.
In 1699, the Treaty of Karlowitz ceded it a tiny twelve mile strip of coast line and the port
of eum. This former piece of Croatia gives osnia Her egovina its only access to the
Adriatic ea. The population is 50
osnian ( uslim), 5
erbian (Orthodo Christian), and 15% Croatian (Roman Catholic). History has shown this to be a volatile mix.
The omans conquered this area in A.D. after fierce battles with the indigenous
people. lavic tribes populated the region in the th century. n the th century osnia
absorbed its southern neighbor, Her egovina, about one fifth its si e and, in the th
century the entire country became part of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans brought
Islam to the country, greatly altering its culture and demographics. The Austro-Hungarian

During this war, the people of osnia Her egovina fought mostly against each other,
along religious and ethnic lines. The uslim osnians persecuted the Christian erbs and
the erbs retaliated in kind. oth sides were guilty of multiple atrocities provoking the
hostile climate that still lingers today. After the war, the establishment of the Kingdom of
Yugoslavia and the redistribution of property only increased the animosity between these

For Mother’s Day
Nectar of the Gods!
Wine Guy Bob Monica
other’s Day is almost here. And if
you’re looking for a gift for the om in
your life who delights in the yummy avors
of sweet wine, we have a suggestion that
sure to please.
Moscato has become the go to choice
for these gals. Originating in the Piedmont
region of Italy these wines are now mass
produced and offered at attractively low
prices. ut for other’s Day it’s time to
kick it up a notch.
It may seem strange, but the middle of
winter is harvest time for one of the world’s
most superbly sweet delicacies – Ice Wine.
In fact many of these delightful vintages are
produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine.
The most famous (and very expensive) are German Eiswein and Canadian Ice Wine.
In addition to these options, ice wine is also produced in the United States, Austria, Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Australia, France and New Zealand.
In contrast to other wine-producing regions, Canada, and in particular the Niagara Peninsula, has very consistent freezes in winter and has become the largest ice wine producer
in the world. Although iagara on the ake’s nniskillin is traditionally considered the
largest producer in terms of volume, many smaller New World wineries in the Niagara
region have made their presence known with high-quality products that have won awards
worldwide.
The grapes most frequently used for the production of Ice Wine include Riesling
(considered to be the noblest variety by Germans), Vidal (popular in Canada) and Cabernet Franc.
Ice Wines made from white grapes tend to be pale yellow or light gold in color when
they are young, transitioning to a deep amber-golden color as they age. The red varieties
tend to have a pinkish color.
The wines are typically medium to full bodied, with a long lingering finish. The nose
typically includes an abundance of peach, pear, dried apricot, honey, citrus, figs, caramel
and green apple. Scents of tropical and exotic fruits such as pineapple, mango or lychee
are also common.
ts palate almost defies description with waves of honey, caramel and tropical fruit
balanced by it relatively high level of acidity. t provides a avor profile that lovers of the
stuff frequently refer to as the nectar of the gods and for good reason.
The bad news is that because much of each grape is discarded in production it takes
eight times as many to make the wine. This drives elevates the price to e traordinary levels with most available only by half bottle. However, the good news is that Ice Wine is a
delicacy that should be sipped as a dessert wine, resulting in less being consumed at each
tasting, and the wine lasts considerably longer than most varietals when refrigerated.
We recommend the following brands: Mission Hill, Ferrante, Inniskillin and Pee Lee
sland. ut the selection may offer other producers at your local wine store.
The wine is best served slightly chilled, not cold. The ideal temperature is 50 to 53
degrees. Refrigerate the wine, but remove it approximately 15 minutes before serving.
Renowned as “dessert in a glass” it is ideal on its own or served with a plate of fresh
fruit. It is recommended to be served in a liqueur glass, but research has shown that stemware with a fairly large bowl is better as it amplifies the nose and intensifies the avor.
o if your om loves sweet wine, this other’s Day surprise her with a glass of the
nectar of the gods.
ut proceed cautiously. ce ine has been known to be very addicting.
Happy other’s Day

Courage helps you
conquer the unknown
It takes a courageous person to learn a
martial art, the kind of person who is willing to step into the unknown. Unknown
people. Unknown words. Unknown movements and actions. Unknown thoughts.
What will happen there? One thing that
happens is that the courageous become the
brave. They start to embrace what is happening. The physicality and mindset blend
together and a total person emerges. Whatever was missing before, starts to get fulfilled. Only through courage will your true
self evolve, and only through the discovery
of your courage is your true self revealed.
know, it’s a lot of poetic liberty, but
that is how courage is, isn’t it n its purest
form, it is the poetry of you. It is an action,
desire, reaction, or admittance that only you

understanding. Courage and martial arts
www.themartialartswoman.com
blend together. The martial and the art, two
completely different aspects, combine to deepen your understanding of yourself.
After finding courage, some of the brave become leaders. They stand tall and strong.
They teach, they create, they perform, and they believe. The belief is in themselves and
in others. They find a home, a place within where they can always feel true and right.
ach of us has leadership within. ome want to develop it and some don’t, but all
will find courage, and all will seek leadership at some point in their lives. very single
person has courage. The itsy-bitsy moments in life that are forced upon you frequently
call upon your courage and bravery. The illness you had to pull through, the fear that you
were forced to overcome, and the relationship that needed developing or mending, are all
the truest and purest forms of courage.
You may think of a courageous person as a political figure, a fighter, a person who has
battled and survived cancer. Yes These are awesome e amples. ut you. You are the
epitome of courage. A parent. A caretaker. A student. A martial artist. An employee. A
woman. A man. A child. Each and every role requires courage, and more often than you
realize. In many cases, you just “do” because in the moment there is no alternative.

Winning water conserving landscapes
in Manatee County
The Manatee County Water-Wise Landscape Awards, sponsored by Manatee
County Utilities - Water Conservation Division, recognizes individuals and businesses committed to conserving water resources and protecting the environment by
using water conserving practices and Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles.
T he landscape judging criteria includes: retention of existing trees and vegetation, landscape design and plant selection, stormwater runoff prevention, efficient
irrigation and overall aesthetic appeal. Winning landscapes balance attractive design
with plants, landscape elements and water efficient irrigation techniques that have a
positive impact on our environment.
Carol mith is this year’s residential winner. Carol’s landscape is water ef
ficient, Florida friendly and fabulous. he captures rainwater for reuse in her plant
beds, uses groundcovers to hold soils in place and reduce weed infestations, and allows for trees leaves to stay in place by creating plant beds underneath them that are
now self-mulching. Her landscape is well designed, aesthetically pleasing, and an
excellent example of a water conserving landscape.
The winner in the commercial category is Ugarte & Associates Architecture in
Palmetto. Although the landscape is definitely water wise, there are other impres
sive water-conserving features: with only micro-irrigation they are able to water
(only when needed) the entire drought tolerant landscape, walkways were created

will be the go-to connection for the public and other organizations. If you have an event that is arts and heritage related, you may contribute the information to us for posting.
n the first quarter, we have participated in many events.
In January, we unveiled to the public our artwork for
the useum of HoP at Cecil’s mporium to showcase
the history only seen in black and white until now by creating 1900-1910 era Parrish Village in model scaled diorama
by ohn Phillips, color murals by arbara Hart and erri
Phillips. This would not be possible without the historical
research first implemented by orma ennedy and ris
cClain along with collective effort from the whole com
munity in con unction with ob and ecky olanowski
who have provided the beginnings of what will be a growing history project and attraction for Parrish.
Duette Elementary School received a visit from The
Parrish Arts Council on February 26th to assist students
create acrylic paintings of their school on canvas while providing a donation to arts supplies with a matching donation
from Colony Cove Art Club. Thanks are in order to our
wonderful volunteers, the Manatee Education Foundation
for their gift to The Parrish Arts Council and Mara Trumbo,
professional artist, who provided supplies and instruction
to the students.
The student paintings were displayed March 5th in our
booth at the Parrish Heritage Day Pioneering Village and
Chili Cook Off at the Florida ailroad useum. e had a
good time at the Parrish Heritage Day Parade on The Parrish Arts Council truck with a beautiful giant-sized painting
palette created by a group of our members. We threw candy and beads to all those artists and potential artists along
the 121st Street route in Parrish Village. At our festival
booth, Mara Trumbo and Jerri Phillips did painting demonstrations with acrylic paint on canvas. Linda Howe, Norma

“My wife Vanessa and I didn’t want to spend our evenings grocery
shopping, prepping and cooking food after a long days’ work. We
still wanted to eat delicious and healthy meals and were not choosing
healthy options when we went out to eat. We found the solution to
both of those issues when we found Jill’s Healthy Cooking. Chef
Jill is like a member of the family that loves to cook that comes and
cooks for us in our kitchen. She makes some of the most delicious

You’re Going to Summer Camp
Your du e bag is packed. You’ve been instructed to bring five pairs of knee length
shorts, five pairs of sturdy underwear (that means no holes and elastic is still intact), (girls
may bring a bra, if applicable it wasn’t ), five pairs of ankle height socks, five cotton T
shirts long enough to tuck into your knee length shorts, two modest’ swimsuits (one piece
for girls and board short’ style for boys), one acket or sweatshirt for cool nights, one pair
of long pants for horseback riding day, one pair of ip ops or swim shoes and one pair
of comfortable tennis shoes. You may bring paper, pen, envelopes and stamps for writing
home and one personal item such as a pillow or favorite stuffed animal.
Your du e bag can also contain any required medicines, prescription glasses or con
tacts saline solution, personal grooming items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo
conditioner, soap, lotions and one rain coat or rain poncho. Items such as nail clippers,
pocket knives or shaving razors are prohibited. You will be issued a comb to use for
your hair upon arrival and females may bring sanitary supplies, if applicable… (again, it
wasn’t).
You’re not sure if you still want to do this. Yes, it sounded like the most ama ing idea
when your friends talked about it last summer when they got home, but now, sitting on the
edge of the bed with your du e bag resting on your regulation style tennis shoes, maybe
not so much. ure, all the talk about bonfires and forest hikes sounded kind of cool, but
what do you really get out of sitting around watching a bunch of sticks burn or fighting
off mosquitos while avoiding poison ivy in the woods Of course, swimming in the lake
sounds like fun, but who are you kidding You’ve always hated cold, murky lake water
and you won’t even put your head under the water so what were you thinking
esides, you can’t even eat the cafeteria food from school without throwing up, so
what made you think you could stomach any other food that wasn’t your mom’s cooking
or that didn’t come in a bucket from FC And since when were you ever able to sleep
in a room full of other people making noises in their sleep or chatting all night long? No
way You’ll never make it You won’t make it past the first night There’s no way on
od’s green earth that you are going to be able to stay for a HO week, let alone two
whole weeks in a weird place, doing weird outdoorsy’ stuff, eating gross, mysterious fake
food with a bunch of other people you really don’t know or like that much.
What if you drown?

or worse, THERE IS NO TOILET PAPER? What if you have an allergy attack because
there’s no air conditioning and the mold and pollen causes your eyes to swell shut and the

This is the worst decision you’ve made in your life thus far, but there’s nothing you
can do to get out of it short of faking death! Your parents have already paid and the payment is non refundable. The other girls will think you’re a sissy fake and never include
you in anything else they do. Your sisters will laugh at what a princess’ you think you
are and never let you live this down. There’s no way out of this. Your bag is packed, the

“It’s not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it’s what
you put into the practice.” - Eric Lindros
elcome to this month’s edition of The Art of uitar. Today, with a little help from
some e perts in various fields, would like to discuss three important aspects of good
practice: hard work, consistency and attention to detail.
Hard work:
know you’ve heard it a thousand times before, but it’s true hard work pays off. f
you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice.
ay radbury
Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Put in the hard work to attain your goals.
Overcoming obstacles and challenges makes us stronger and wiser. It develops character
in us which will be useful in our performance both in music and in life.
Consistency:
“If I miss one day of practice, I notice it. If I miss two days, the critics notice it. If I
miss three days, the audience notices it.” - Ignacy Paderewski
In order for our skills to become natural, it is imperative that we dedicate a certain
amount of time each day to practice. Realistically, of course, this is sometimes just not
possible. Obviously, you will occasionally miss a day or two. What is important is that
you get back into the daily practice routine as soon as possible. If you want excellence,
consistency is the key.
Attention to detail:
“Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.” - Vince Lombardi
As I have said many times before, if you are not practicing perfectly, you are practicing mistakes. n order to ma imi e the effectiveness of practice and to avoid potential
in ury, take the time to ensure that your technique is correct. t is worth the e tra effort.
In conclusion, hard work, consistency and attention to detail are all essential elements
of any training regimen. All three elements work together to ma imi e the benefits of
your training. Make sure to put them into practice daily.

When I was just a helpless tot,
You guided me along.
You showed me how to laugh and smile,
And sing a happy song.
Then came the days of Hopalong,
And Flop Ear and the like.
You taught me how to tie my shoes and,
How to ride a bike.
You coached me through my schooldays,
And saw me college bound.
You helped me to become a man,
With both feet on the ground.
To you dear Mom I owe a debt,
I never can repay.
And so, I send you all my love on
This my other’s Day.

Tropical Sod Webworms Are Coming
Along with preparing for the tropical hurricane season, May is the month to prepare for the tropical sod webworm. So why an article in May about this insect? Scouting for this insect should begin now. If the population
goes unchecked, by late May, your lawn will show the results of this pest! During drought periods, the damage
from drought and the webworm may be difficult to decipher. couting is not labor intensive but does require you
to get down on your hands and knees to see their damage up close.
Scouting for tropical sod webworm requires the investigation of areas in the lawn that are patchy and brown or
dead. The original area may have looked like dog urine damage, a small circular area of yellow or dead grass. The
height of the grass is usually shorter in the damaged area since the fifth larval stage of webworms feeds heavily on
the grass blades of all our warm-season grasses.
To scout a large damaged area, you may want to test two separate areas, one square yard section each, to compare your results. Apply a two-gallon mixture of non-degreaser type dish soap and water (most references indicate
two tablespoons of soap to two gallons of water). Slowly pour the mixture over the test plot and watch for the
webworms to come to the top of the leaves. Dr. Paul Heller, Penn State University, says that 10 to 12 webworms
per square yard warrants treatment.
Tropical sod webworm have six life stages before they become an adult moth. The brown moth is ¾ inch long
and feeds on nectar plants. It does not cause lawn damage. The female lays a cluster of eggs on the top of the leaf
blades during dusk. As you walk through your lawn near dusk, watch for small ying moths as an indicator if you
have lawn damage as described above. During the day, the moths take respite in nearby shrubs.
Webworm larvae are cream colored with dark spots on each body segment. They grow to be about ½ inch in
length in the 5th stage of life. They are night feeders. Oh, did I forget to mention that you will be on your hands
and knees to scout during the evening hours
hat will the neighbors think n its first few stages of life, the
webworm scrapes only the top layer of the leaf blade, leaving behind the cellulose fiber, creating a window on
the blade. As the worm ages, more of the leaf is consumed. Frass (worm poop) can be observed in the feeding area
but usually only detected as the webworms get larger.
During the day, sod webworms hide in the thatch layer. Excess fertilization contributes to thatch buildup and
a higher potential of webworm infestation. The sod webworms will form their cocoon in the thatch material.
There are many control measures from biological (beneficial nematodes) to chemicals (too many to list). Cultural
controls measures we can control: over watering, incorrect mower bed height, over fertilization, and host plant
selection. There are several cultivars of St. Augustinegrass (SAG) and zoysiagrasses that have been bred to resist
tropical sod webworms. Check out A Amerishade’, Floratine’, F
0’, Captiva’ and inchester’ as listed
on the niversity of Florida’s Featured Creature publication. oysia resistant cultivars are Cavalier’, DA
50
1 and JZ-1.
Your planning schedule should be to scout in May watching for early signs of infestation; go over your cultural practices and make sure they are appropriate for the lawn type you have; use biological controls if possible,
and if you lost the battle by August and eptember, visit your local e tension office for suggestions for chemical
controls.
NORTH RIVER CHURCH OF CHRIST
Good News
Everyone likes to hear good news. How often w hear someone
ask, “What’s the good news today?” Often we ask doctors to
give us “some good news” about our health, and we like reading of “good news” in the newspapers and on the internet. Cute,
uplifting, and humorous item that make us feel good or give us
a little chuckle are quite popular.
The greatest “good news” centers on Jesus Christ, especially
His death, burial, and resurrection. The good news about Jesus
Christ is life changing. He died on the Cross of Calvary to save
all who would obey His Gospel, “the good news” (Romans 1:1617; Hebrews 5:8-9). These facts are at the heart of the Gospel
message (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). No more important message
has ever been given to any human being than the life-changing,
soul-saving message of God’s only-begotten Son (John 3:16).
We at the North River Church of Christ at 13885 U.S. Highway
North in Parrish, F . gladly proclaim Christ cruci ed (1 Corinthians 1:23). Come and be with us as we share that message
of joy and redemption. Our services are as follows: 10:00 A.M.
(Bible Study) & 11:00 A.M. & 6:00 P.M. (Worship) each Sunday;
and 7:00 P.M. each Wednesday (Bible Study). We have Bible
correspondence courses available upon request. Also, please

Miss Manatee River’s Outstanding Teen
Visits Mills
On Monday April 4th, 2016, Girl Scout Troop 222
was visited by Olivia Lake, who is currently Miss Manatee
iver’s Outstanding Teen. This summer, she will be representing Manatee County at the Miss Florida Scholarship
Pageant. As a titleholder, her platform is very important
to her, and to spread the message to other girls in our area.
Olivia aspires to be an inspiration to other young girls to
help them find out who they are.
Her platform is all about self-expression, self-inspiration and learning to love yourself and who you want to become. Olivia has been a Girl
Scout for over ten years, and believes this experience will allow her to guide other young
girls to become their own person, just like she has learned from being a part of girl scouts.
Most of the girls in Troop 222 at Mills Elementary have been in scouting for six years
now and together they recently starting working on their “Dove Free to be me” badge,
which focuses on the same tenets as Olivia’s message. As part of Olivia’s visit, she facilitated an activity for the troop called “inside out” which allowed the girls to focus on their
own unique traits and strengths, both internal and external. It was a great way for the girls
to tie Olivia’s message in with their Dove Free to be me badge work.

Teen Recycled Fashion Show
Draws Record Participation
MSA Student Noemi Veress Places First
Noemi Veress (lower left) created an ensemble using newspaper, dress bags and fabric scraps (all
from old, recycled and reused items that were going to be thrown away).
It included an umbrella, purse, necklace and earrings.
anatee County Public ibraries’ Third Annual Teen ecycled Fashion how on
Saturday, April 16, was the biggest one yet. Twenty-four of the 40 girls who registered
participated the day of the show, which was more than twice the number who participated
last year. This year’s show also drew the biggest attendance at about 50.
Placing first was
year old anatee chool of the Arts’ ( A) student, oemi eress, who created a design inspired by the 1920s. Using newspaper, dress bags and fabric
scraps (all from old, recycled and reused items that were going to be thrown away), she
created an ensemble that included an umbrella, purse, necklace and earrings perfect she
said for “a lovely walk in the park.”
Veress learned how to design from her mother, Judit, who learned from her mother
and aunt. Veress started designing fashions when she was in kindergarten when she and
her mother made an outfit for a school program. ince then, they have created several
pieces together, including everyday clothing for their family and their neighbors. Every
holiday, they make dog costumes, cards and gifts.
eress would like to continue to create and design outfits, shoes and accessories in the
hopes of turning it into a career someday. “This fashion show was a good step for her and
for everybody who participated in that show,” said Judit Veress.
econd Place went to mily ailey, a
year old homeschooler for a apper dress
made from purple Toys ’ s bags in which she glued saline tubes at the bottom. A purse
made out of a tissue box with nebulizer tubing handles accompanied the piece.
Queenie Zheng, another 14-year-old from MSA, won Third Place for her vintage medieval dress modeled by Danielle Dault. Zheng created a corset out of cardboard. Paper
origami owers and notes from sheet music were added as embellishment to a skirt made
from gray Walmart and trash bags.
radenton Christian duo, aura Perkins and Hannah Hamilton, both , won HonorPlease see Enrichment Center CONTINUED ON PAGE 41 able ention for their ubblicious design, which the girls came up with as a way to deal
with the gum wrappers one of the girl’s dad’s had lying around. The gum wrappers were
glued to a dress made of grocery bags and an old pillowcase that was spray painted silver.
The girls also decorated shoes with gum wrappers, pieces of reusable shopping bags and
tile spacers. Gum wrappers also were used for a hair accessory, purse and belt.
Also winning Honorable Mention was Ermeline Constant of the State College of Florida Collegiate School. This 13-year-old made what she called a “Futuristic Prom Dress,”
having received inspiration while helping her older try to find a prom dress that looked
like something Jane from the Jetsons might wear. Constant used a clear plastic shower
curtain for the base of the dress and cut up coffee filters to layer the skirt in ru es. CDs
were cut and glued to the top.
The Teen Recycled Fashion Show is an award-winning program put on by Manatee

Home rown Heritage H members are adding the finishing touches on our community pride pro ect at ethany aptist Church to make the cemetery beautiful. The mosaic
bird baths are almost finished. Our club members have had fun creating these beautiful
bird baths. We worked together to glue the mosaic stones on, taking our time to make
sure they were just right. When we place them at the cemetery, we will be putting mulch
and planting owers around them to give them an e tra pop of color
e want these bird
baths to be a very special addition to the cemetery.
Our club members continue going out to the cemetery each month to do ground cleanups. e spend the first part of our trip making sure the moss, limbs and trash are picked
up. Next, we spend some time pulling weeds as the warmer weather seems to be making
them grow faster. At the end of ay, we will place American ags in front of the eterans’ graves in honor of emorial Day. Our H club leaders have had many compliments
from out-of-town family members that have been pleasantly surprised and touched by the
efforts that we have made to keep the cemetery beautiful.
This has been an amazing project for our 4-H club. We received a grant from the
Florida 4-H Foundation to help fund the project. We also had a very successful pancake
breakfast at Applebee’s in llenton, where our family and friends came out to support us.
We have had fun working together and are proud of all that we have accomplished at the
cemetery. This pro ect has taught us that even tiny deeds can make a huge difference if
they are done with big hearts!
4-H is open to all youth (ages 5-18) without regard to race, color, sex, handicap or
national origin.

niversity of Florida FA
tension anatee County recently provided some financial insights
and answers to adolescents during a day long financial literacy program called iving On y Own
( O O). The program included a workshop, field trip, and simulation. At the workshop, teens learned
about money, the importance of saving, choosing financial institutions and account transactions. During the field trip, the group visited an automotive dealership where they learned about the car buying
process, ate lunch on a limited budget, and learned about rental options at a local apartment complex. At
the simulation game in the afternoon, teens were assigned jobs, family size and dependents. Teens were
encouraged to make healthy and wise lifestyle choices similar to those adults face on a daily basis.
hile touring the dealership, eneral ales anager ohn udd shared information about buying
leasing a new or used vehicle, maintenance expenses, and insurance costs. “Visiting the dealership was
very cool, yet scary for the amount of money it takes to make a purchase,” said Courtney Akoghlanian.
Students were encouraged to ask questions as they journeyed through the Cox Chevrolet dealership.
For lunch, students visited Culver’s estaurant where some struggled to stay within their eight
dollar budget. The real food challenge came later when they had to purchase groceries for their simulated
family within their assigned budget.
Later, the teens visited the Palm Cove Apartment community where the assistant manager led a tour.
The group started at the leasing office, stopped at poolside then ended up in one of their two bedroom,
two-bath units. Renting options, community amenities, credit scores, and the importance of paying on
time were big takeaways for the students.
The day culminated with a
station simulation game, where teens performed financial transactions using debit cards and checks to purchase items and pay bills. The stimulation scenarios were very
similar to what adults face on a daily basis. “I have a newfound respect for what my parents do and I want
to save money, said oelle alkovich. Another participant, oshua runner, who was a simulated single
parent, said “I learned how stressed out you are without money and realized how much more organized
I need to be with my math calculations and budgeting.”
Taylor pangler, workshop facilitator and state O O coordinator at the niversity of Florida
FA , said
anatee County is one of the first counties to incorporate a field trip in the workshop and
simulation. It is a great opportunity for teens to visualize and put their gathered knowledge into practice.”

clashing cultures. n
, Yugoslavian politicians signed an agreement that effectively gave control of osnia
Her egovina to the erbs and the Croats, e cluding the uslim osnians.
The Germans conquered Yugoslavia during World War II, pre-empting an inevitable civil war, and set up a
puppet regime called the ndependent tate of Croatia made up mostly of Croats and osnians. The leaders
immediately began exterminating Serbs, Jews, Romani, communists, and Croats who opposed them, including large
numbers of osipTito’s Partisans. The erbs retaliated by killing thousands of uslim and Catholic civilians.
The war finally ended and Tito took absolute control of Yugoslavia. He ruled with an iron fist and would not
tolerate the ethnic rivalries in osnia Her egovina. He ruthlessly brought order but old hatreds still smoldered.
ecause of its central location, Tito selected osnia to be the base of his military defense industry. The region enoyed high employment, a strong industrial base, profitable e ports, and a good educational system. ulti national
companies such as Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, and Holiday Inn, set up headquarters in Sarajevo, and in 1984 the city
hosted the Winter Olympics, bringing international recognition to all of Yugoslavia. This golden age of peace and
prosperity would end soon, as Tito’s dream of a strong, united Yugoslavia began to crumble.
n
lovenia and Croatia declared their independence from Yugoslavia. osnia Her egovina passed a similar referendum in
which was re ected by the osnian erbs and lead to what is known as the osnian ar .
All sides involved accused the others of firing the first shot. The war involved bitter fighting, shelling of defenseless
cities and towns, pillaging, and “ethnic cleansing”. The Serbs committed most of the atrocities, but the Croatians,
and the uslim osnians were also guilty. The truth is that all the parties wanted a bigger piece of the country for
themselves. Religion was mostly, a side issue. After massacres in Srebrenica and Markale and the siege of Sarajevo,
.A.T.O., led by President Clinton and the . ., dropped several smart bombs on high profile targets in elgrade,
the capital of Serbia. The Serbs eventually got the message and peace negotiations were held in Dayton, Ohio in
ovember of
5, ending the con ict. t’s estimated that over 00,000 people were killed and . million people
were displaced during the three year con ict. n 00 , 5 erbs,
Croats, and
osnians were convicted of war
crimes.
Today, over 0 years after the hostilities ended, osnia Her egovina continues to recover from the war. The
in uence and power of the central government is slowly growing but there is still considerable tension between the
three ethnic groups. Foreign tourists have returned in large numbers and it is hoped that better economic times are
ahead; but the future remains uncertain.

courageous as anything else. If your fears are on the surface, if your worry has little merit, then face and reject them in
any way that you can.
My other fear was public speaking for a long time. My heart would beat so fast and my voice would quiver in front
of an audience. This is one fear that was very difficult to put to rest. epetition and necessity helped me block that fear,
too. Finding a topic that was passionate and made sense to me helped, too. You can guess what topics I chose: selfdefense, motivational topics, and being a woman in the martial arts. Courage filtered through, when confidence and a
comfortable topic fell into place.
The courage that the student who enters the do o for the first time has, is the same concept and courage that can help
you start any new project, meet any new person, or go any new place. All you need is to know that you can overcome
through repetition of the action, belief in yourself, and encouragement from others.
Your life is full of these moments. You have choices everyday about how courageous and brave you choose to be.
tep into the unknown, or the place you’ve always wanted to go, even if you feel unsure, or unsteady. Once you do, you
will reali e that the fear of the unknown is false. t will always hold you back. Courage is difficult, but you will get the
hang of it.
The absolute truth is that you are a leader, already. You are the leader of your life, your now moment, your future, and
your success. With courage you can make it all happen. Martial arts and writing were my unknowns. They were where
wanted to go, but was afraid. ut, changed all that instantly, through courage.
Fear not. Find your purpose and your mission and step forward, whatever it may be. Now is the best time to make
your desired changes. So much can happen in a moment, an hour, or a day. Think about how much can happen in a year!
Today, be courageous. You will be amazed at who you are, what is really meaningful to you, and of what you are truly
capable.

Jekyll and Hyde
The Professional Golf Staff at
River Wilderness Golf & Country Club
It doesn’t matter if you are the number one golfer in the world or just a weekend, bogey
golfer. Certain days something happens during a round that causes us to crash and burn!
During the first round of the asters, ason Day, at the time the best golfer in the world,
scored a blistering 5 under par on the front nine. He was golfing his ball to perfection.
He hit one bad shot on 15 which led to a bogey, then another which led to a triple bogey
and then he scored another bogey on the next hole. All of a sudden he closed his round
scoring 5 over par on the back nine. e call it the ekyll and Hyde syndrome a dramatic
switch in our game that comes on for no apparent reason and leads to a series of misfortunes.
Listening to the Day interview after the round, he addressed the question of how he could
play so great for most of the round and then so poorly. He gave a great response and focused on the positives of his round and the fact that he was ust a little off on a couple of
his shots causing him to miss in the wrong areas creating scenarios that bring big numbers
into play. He finished the interview stating he was happy with how he hit the ball for the
most part and will be ready for the next day’s competition.
f the greatest player in the world can be ekyll at one moment then Hyde the ne t it is
easy to understand how it can happen to us as well. The lesson we need to learn is that
when something happens to turn the switch we must be patient and await ekyll’s return.
The next time you start stumbling during the round remind yourself it happens to the best
and just like them your game will eventually turn around. After all, if we play the game
long enough we realize it is 80% mental, 10% skill and 10% luck. Unfortunately, our luck
can run both good and bad!

A Better Place to Live and Play!
Safe Seaside Play for Dogs
Pets
Plus
A day at the beach can provide a wonderful and stimulating experience for any dog.
This open, ideal play space may appear pristine and without hazard, but preparation, common sense and seaside etiquette will ensure a safe and good time for canines and their
owners.
First, one must become aware of which beaches allow dogs and during what hours.
Are dogs permitted to run free, or must they be leashed at all times? A conversation with
a park attendant or lifeguard should be considered if one is not familiar with local ordinances. Many beaches require dogs to be leashed to prevent the destruction or disturbance
of sea birds and sea turtles or their nests. Furthermore, not all dogs are social butter ies,
and leashes can prevent aggressive canine interaction.
An owner should always be courteous and carry waste bags to remove any “doggy
deposits.” Fecal matter and sea water can create high levels of coliform bacteria, which
potentially can close down beaches to everyone.
If beaches have surrounding brackish or fresh water areas, avoid exercising your
dog in these areas as Leptospirosis exposure is possible, especially if local wildlife, such
as raccoons and possums, are known to exist nearby. An important tip: If your dog is a
frequent beach cruiser, consult with your veterinarian to see if he or she recommends vaccination for Leptospirosis.
COASTAL HAZARDS
Several hazards do exist on the beach. A major concern is to prevent heat stroke.
Overe ertion, high outdoor temperatures, high humidity (which hampers dogs’ panting
evaporation that naturally cools them down) and shaved coats or short noses all increase
the risk of overheating the dog’s core body temperature, which can become both progressive and fatal.
Signs of heat stroke include: excessive, forceful panting, raspy breathing sounds,
bright, reddened gums and tongue, thick saliva, disorientation and a panicked appearance.
If an owner suspects that his pet is over-heating, he should immediately remove the
dog to a shaded area, offer cool water, cool the head and neck with cool water and or
soaked towels and seek medical attention if the dog does not respond to treatment.
Other concerns at the beach are hot sand, glass, fish hooks or rugged shells and or
rock that often are present. Doggie shoes, such as uffwear ark’n oots, eliminate
most paw issues.
efore venturing to the beach, consult with beach officials or lifeguards to evaluate
the presence of harmful sea life, including ellyfish or stingrays. Also, ask about rip currents before your dog swims or romps through the surf.
Drinking sea water or eating sand and sea life at the beach should be discouraged. In
addition, consider a life acket if your dog en oys fetching oating toys, appears to be a
poor swimmer or tires easily.
A WORD ABOUT SUNBURN
any people are unaware that dogs can suffer sunburns Dogs with white or light
hair around the face and ears, as well as canines with summer cuts or shaved coats, are
most affected. Commercial doggie sunscreens are readily available and should be applied
before exposure.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
When the play day is over, it is highly recommended that you rinse your pet with fresh
water and towel dry. Clean sand from the toes, and check the ears and eyes for sand or
debris. Treat eyes and ears, if indicated.
A day romping on the beach or playing in the surf can be great fun for your dog...a
little preparation and knowledge will make it enjoyable and, most importantly, keep your
companion safe.
THE DOGGIE BEACH KIT
Here’s what to have on hand for a day at the beach with your dog
• A towel for drying
• A large bottle of ice or chilled water & a collapsible bowl
A basic first aid kit
• Pickup waste bags
• A leash & collar
A oating toy and life acket (if needed)
• Sunscreen

Trauma to Children’s Teeth
Hello Parrish friends can’t believe it is almost the end of the school year Time to
make summer plans - including a visit to the dentist for a check-up without the hassle of
missing school.
My name is Dr. Patty Schnur. I am a general dentist and I limit my practice to children
years of age. y dental practice, Parrish Children’s Dentistry, is located in the
ye Center Pla a near
0 and Old Tampa rie roads.
This month, I wanted to address a topic many parents ask about - trauma to the teeth.
Traumatic dental injuries happen in every age group, but most frequently in preschool and
school aged children. In fact, dental trauma makes up 5% of all injuries for which people
seek treatment.
These dental in uries are handled differently depending on whether the patient in ures
baby teeth or adult teeth. The doctor’s diagnosis is concerned with whether any forming
permanent teeth or surrounding bone are also in ured. f needed, rays are often taken
from different angles. The doctor will also consider soft tissue in uries to the lips and
gums.
In primary (baby) teeth, treatment can range from simple observation to extraction.
ost of the time observation is sufficient, and due to disrupted blood ow the tooth could
change colors to a brownish tint. Rarely an abscess develops weeks to months later, requiring extraction and sometimes a space maintainer.
In adult teeth, it is more common for an injured tooth to be fractured. The severity
of the fracture will determine care and follow-up. A large fracture into the nerve of the
tooth sometimes causes the nerve to die. uckily children have abundant blood ow to
adult teeth and a good ability to heal, so fractured teeth in children are less likely to have
this problem. Less severe fractures still require frequent examination to make sure the
tooth doesn’t abscess, even years later. Ama ingly, the repair of the crown of the tooth can
sometimes be made with the piece that broke off, if it can be found Otherwise a white
filling or porcelain crown will be needed.
Many parents have heard that if a tooth is “knocked out” (also called avulsed) it
should be placed in a cup of milk. You can tell if an entire tooth is avulsed if the root is
intact. The reason for the milk advice is to keep the tooth in a moist environment at a simi-
Dr. Patty Schnur
lar pH to the mouth. Avulsed teeth can sometimes be reimplanted and splinted to other
solid teeth to allow them to heal without moving. I have seen reimplanted teeth survive
for many years with careful monitoring.
Dental injuries are common and can be emotional for children and parents. Having a
caring dental home for your children is important in case of emergency. Luckily children
usually bounce back quickly from injuries!
hope this information is helpful. f you have further questions, or have a topic you’d
like me to address in a future column, please feel free to contact my practice, Parrish Children’s Dentistry, at
5 5.

We’re Going to Summer Camp CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
As Abigail A. an lyck’s book, A Manufactured Wilderness: Summer Camps and
the Shaping of American Youth 1890-1960, (Published by University of Minnesota Press)
explains, “Today, American children can choose from a dizzying array of summer camp
options—everything from horseback riding camp and gymnastics camp to computer camp
and band camp. The first overnight camps were not nearly as speciali ed, consisting
mostly of outposts in the woods adjoining a lake, where boys (and later girls) could get a
taste of adventure and nature.”
n Abigail’s book, the origins of summer night camp are e plored, beginning with the
desire to allow kids to put their theoretical, class-room based knowledge to use in a more
practical way. In North America, camp allowed young people to learn survival skills in a
sort of back-to-nature setting that had already become a trend across the Atlantic. Typical
to the selling of any new idea, however, this desire to give kids a ‘rustic, back-to-nature
e perience’ was really ust the marketing pitch given to parents to induce them to sending
their little darlings off for a few weeks, (after paying the camp fee of course) and aimed
at giving urban dwellers a supposedly authentic encounter with folk life—itself a cultural
construction of the late 19th century.”
The actual truth behind the forming of these institutions’, though, aimed at providing respite from what were regarded as the moral and physical degradations of urban life,
evils to which women and children were understood to be particularly prone.”
hew it’s a good thing men were never prone to such moral and physical degradations of urban life. illy women and children
Yes, ’m being sarcastic.
In other, more today words, camps were seen as a way to give kids something more
constructive to do with their free time in an effort to keep them out of trouble. Plus, it
would make money for communities, churches, civic groups or similar institutions. asically, it was a win win for kids, communities and parents.
hat the early organi ers
didn’t necessarily anticipate, however, was that the camp e perience would have such an
effect on the generations to come and the idea of summer camp’ would become a rite of
passage’ for children of all ages in pop culture.
ho doesn’t remember their favorite summer camp movie n 55, The Adventures
of Spin and Marty came on the scene. In 1961, the original Parent Trap captured a generation. For me, it was the 1979 Meatballs I remember most. There have been many others
since and probably always will be since the summer camp concept has become part of the
American way.
No matter what camp movie you remember most, each camp movie experience shares
similar outcomes. Kids being kids, teens being teens and counselors being counselors.
There are obstacles to overcome, friendships to be made and lessons to be learned. There
will be bad food, bug bites, scraped knees and awkward situations. Dares will be made,
scary stories will be told and pranks will be performed. Some kids will have the time of
their lives and others will vow to never grace a camp with their presence again.
ays rian oylan of ulture.com, ut really, summer camp movies have less to do
with the experience of applying bug spray
and learning to swim in the lake, and more
to do with celebrating childhood, rebellion,
groups of scrappy outsiders pitted against
the more popular, and groups of like-minded people banding together to make something impossible and wonderful happen.”
For my kids, the summer camp experience was something totally different than
what many of us en oyed (or didn’t en oy)
when we were young. y two boys were the first grandchildren on their father’s side of
the family. Their grandparents had once been camp counselors at a popular summer camp
known as Camp Seagull. The experiences they encountered and the skills they learned as
camp counselors many years prior, developed an idea for them to create what they called
Cousins Camp’ once they had their own grandchildren. As more grandchildren were
added to the growing family, Cousins Camp’ became an every summer event for what
turned out to be ten cousins.
Cousins Camp’ was literally run like a summer camp and lasted an entire seven days.
The cousins had designated sleeping quarters and were required to wear regulation camp
attire (mostly shorts and custom T-shirts made by grandmother and her sister who also
helped with camp). They had regulation awake and sleep times and daily chores to help
with food preparation and cleaning. Every day had a daily schedule with various activities, crafts and even day trips on fun adventures.
From the time my boys were four and two until they were 18, they spent two weeks
at Cousins Camp’ with their grandparents and cousins. The adventures they e perienced
and the memories they made with their cousins and grandparents were priceless. They
still talk about camp fun to this day and remain very close to their extended family. I have
often thought about taking the Cousins Camp’ concept and offering a community workshop for grandparents that would like to start their own camp and make their own lasting
memories.
How did my own personal camp e perience end , like most campers’, ended up
loving every aspect of it. Of course, my camp was never at a lake with cabins, bugs and
volleyball games. My camp was music camp at Penn State University. We got to spend
two weeks living in dorms and rehearsing show tunes with the famous Fred Waring while
acquiring college credits at the age of 14. I loved it so much I auditioned for the next
summer and went again. There were no bonfires or hot dogs or dirt oors. There were no
mean kids or scary ghost stories - just teenagers acting like they were college kids. And
yes, I started my period!

Early Tarpon Fishing
Is Starting to Show Up
Capt. Jason Prieto
MA79693
MM33845
Look No Further...
WOODY’S DESIGNS
Is Here!
May is just around the corner and with that being said you can expect another stellar
month of inshore fishing. edfish are starting to school up around the bay, nook fishing
continues to be awesome and Trout make for a great dinner.
t’s still a bit early but with the warmer weather e pect the big schools of Tarpon to
show up around the outer ats, channel edges and bridges throughout the bay. etting
an early start will increase your odds in hookups for sure. Tarpon are no different than
schools of reds when it comes to noise and boats they are just found in deeper water. Your
eyes under the water is your sonar and using the Lowrance HDS side imaging is something that helps you locate schools of fish especially around the deeper areas around the
bridges and channels. Tarpon use these areas as highways just as our inshore species do
on the ats. sing technology to your advantage will reduce the learning curve to find
fish.
ait is key when catching Tarpon. They eat a bunch of different baits and each week
they seem to switch what they like. Threadfin Hearing both live and cut are the top choice
this time of year. sing cut bait is probably most effective when anchoring. Tarpon ust
like big nook love cut bait and the Threadfins are readily available in the bay around the
towers. ake sure to bring your
foot mesh net so you won’t spend the entire day
getting bait.
Finding fish can be challenging but the bridges throughout the bay are great areas to
go and hold fish on a consistent basis. Fishing around the new and full moons will be a
great time to fish but you know the old saying the best time to go fishing is when you can.
Tackle is another key ingredient to actually landing Tarpon. see people fighting fish with
rods that are just too small. When you want to catch the big boys you got to bring the big
toys. love the foot t. Croi 0 pound rods matched with 0 pound Fins raided line
and 5000 Daiwa Saltiest spinning reel. Fighting with too light of gear could also fatigue
the fish and eventually kill them so cannot stress the importance of having the correct
gear.

ost fish are so e hausted that they need the correct reviving techniques to ensure a safe
release to live for another day. upporting the fish and holding the lower aw with the
boat moving forward will run water through their gills. She will let you know when she
is ready to be released…….

Last Friday a group was discussing the project and
one member of the group said, “People in Parrish have
been asking for new full service restaurants and for
some competition with Publix on the price of groceries for a long time. This new Walmart should draw the
restaurants and it will sure compete with Publix.”
Plans are for the Walmart to be completed in early
summer of next year with the other building following
closely behind. The Parrish Civic Association hopes
to host a community meeting in the fall featuring
enderson representatives showing the pro ect draw

Below is a rendering of the elevation of the Creekside
Commons center which will be built this year and
completed in 2017. Notice the metal roof and the

scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship. Fitting that bill were: Marisa
adour ( ice President), iley ergmann ( ecreation eader), avannah Cannon (Presi
dent), and Alyssa Pritchett ( ecretary). They e emplified H qualities while uggling
busy schedules and responsibilities with extreme dedication. The foursome have been the
best of friends since elementary school and their bond continues to grow stronger through
their 4-H and school involvements. Their friendship seems to be built around trust, humor,
encouragement, support, respect and love.
Home Grown Heritage 4-H club members are extremely proud of these members and
are excited to see where the road takes them as they each have such a bright future ahead
of them. 4-H is a community of young people who are learning citizenship, leadership and
life skills.
4-H is open to all youth (ages 5-18) without regard to race, color, sex, handicap or
national origin.
Adoptions and News from the Humane Society of Manatee County
Why Adopt?
Every time you adopt an animal from the Humane Society of Manatee County, you
enable them to save the life of another animal in need of a loving home. Each adoption
also brings the Humane Society one step closer to becoming a humane community – a
community where all adoptable animals find permanent loving homes and euthanasia is
no longer accepted as a means of population control.
The Humane ocietty is proud of its efforts, and the oard, staff, and volunteers of
HSMC are committed to placing 100 percent of the animals brought to HSMC for adoption into permanent, loving homes.
FAQ About Adoptions
What does the adoption fee include?
Not only do you take home your new best friend, but all of the animals are
spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on all their vaccinations. Pet insurance
for 30 days is also included. Adoption fees are $75 for all the dogs and kittens, $50 for
adult cats 6 months or older.
What is the Selection Criteria?
Pets placed up for adoption need to be of sound temperament and good health. Pets
with a history of severe aggression or untreatable conditions are not suitable for the adoption program.
any animals undergo substantial medical and or behavioral rehabilitation prior to placement for adoption. For example, the dog enrichment and obedience
program, staffed by a group of dedicated volunteers, works with all the dogs to help them
develop good manners as well as special needs dogs in order to resolve behavior problems
that otherwise would be a deterrent to adoption.
Do you ever get purebred dogs or cats?
It is estimated that about 25 percent of the animals brought to the shelter are purebreds. f you are interested in a specific breed, check the pet lists to see if one is available.
The Humane Society of Manatee County also works with purebred dog rescue organizations. Many times, these dogs are transferred from the Humane Society to rescue groups
who specialize in adoption of a particular breed. That way HSMC has more room for mix
breeds.
Can I return a pet I’ve adopted?
Yes, the Humane ociety of anatee County wants you and your pet to be a good fit
for each other and recogni es that despite everyone’s best efforts, sometimes this doesn’t
happen. Terms of return are:
The Humane Society of Manatee County will accept your pet back within 10 days of
adoption. After 10 days each animal will be evaluated according to the HSMC selection
criteria. The adoption fee is non-refundable.
Please call 747-8808 to discuss your circumstances with a counselor and schedule a
date and time for return.

April at Williams Elementary School
Students Recognized for Positive Behavior
Our third quarter PBS (Positive Behavior Support)
Assembly was held Thursday, April 7th. Students
who earned and cashed in 10 wolf howls by exhibiting our school expectations of being honest,
responsible, respectful, kind and safe attended the assembly. Justin from Party Pro DJ’s provided the dance party giving the students time to dance and have fun with their friends. Also,
thank you to our volunteers who helped ensure our students had a safe and fun time!
Pre-K Students Celebrate “Donuts for Dads”
Mrs. Carter’s PreKindergarten students showed their appreciation to their fathers at “Donuts for Dads”. The students created individual placements and ties and served breakfast to
their dads. Mrs. Carter and Ms. Rose, teacher aide, asked the little ones questions about their dads. They shared some interesting details such as: the dads’ ages ranged from 4 years
to 5 years old and several dads did not have a first name e cept for Daddy . ut all in all, it was lots of fun for everyone who attended and a special day for our little ones.
Williams Has A Visit from the Florida Extension Office
Livestock and horticultural agents, Christa Kirby and Crystal Snodgrass, from the UF Ex- plants and plant life cycle. We appreciate Ms. Kirby and Ms. Snodgrass’ expertise and
tension Office visited the second grade classes on onday, April th. They each spoke about assistance in reinforcing what our students have been studying in the classroom. It was
life cycles of plants and animals with the focus on beef cattle and their life cycle and parts of a beautiful day to be outside and exciting to use our garden as an alternative classroom.
Bike Helmet Education
Guest speaker, Lisa Indovino, from All Children’s Hospital visited Williams Elementary to discuss bike and pedestrian safety with students during their PE class. The students were presented with “Ride on the Right
and Walk on the Left” bracelets and stickers (K-2) or bookmarks (3-5).
he also met our bike riders before school fitting those students for a helmet if they did not have one. We appreciate Ms. Indovino teaching our
students about safety and her generous donations of bike helmets.
Williams Gets New IE2 Lab
Williams Elementary is excited about their new IE2 Lab for the upcoming school
year. Inspiring Elementary Engineering, known as IE2, is a hands on county designed program that integrates engineering and technology concepts and skills with
elementary Science topics. Students will work in teams to apply their knowledge
of Science and Math and use their problem solving skills and creativity. Williams
Elementary has donated a portion of its proceeds from the 2015-16 Walk-A-Thon
towards this project, along with a donation from their PTO. We want to thank everyone who has helped contribute towards this project. If you would like to donate,
either financially or with needed items, please contact the office at

Did you know you
could be saving money?
Jackie Felix, Great Florida Insurance
Recent studies indicate that drivers are unfairly paying too much for auto insurance.
any drivers don’t know how to compare car insurance e cept by looking at price. n this
day and age the internet provides many avenues to compare insurance. There’s nothing
wrong with comparing based on price, but you won’t get the best car insurance unless you
know what you can change to make your coverage better or cheaper.
Everything You’ve Always
Wanted in a Bank and More!
At 1st Manatee Bank, we realize your needs are as individual as
you are. When you bank with us, you are assured personalized
service and uncompromised customer care.
The difference is in the details
• Locally Owned • Community Involvement
• Commercial & Personal Banking
• Senior Checking
• Online Banking
While many of these internet sites provide quality products, they will not always give the
personal service and thorough policy review that a local agent can provide. Moreover,
insurance terms can seem complicated, but sitting down with your agent may help you
understand your coverage.
veryone’s situation is different. Two twin brothers driving the e act same vehicle could
end up with very different monthly premium payments.
hy One brother may be a
homeowner and one might rent; homeowners will, depending on the company, receive
a discount. Another reason could be their credit history your credit history will affect
your premium. These are just a couple of the many variables an agent may consider when
quoting your insurance.
Are you aware that you could receive a large discount just for not having a ticket or accident in the past to 5 years
aybe it’s time to review your policy with your agent. This
will not take long and can even be done over the phone. Allow your agent to find available
discounts that could lower your rates.
One of the most important things you can do when shopping for the best rate is making
sure that you get an “apples-to-apples” comparison. “It helps a lot to bring in a current
policy to us to compare,” says Martin Vreman, Great Florida Insurance agency owner.
ith many A rated companies lowering rates, you could find significant savings. How
ever, it is important that the coverage you are quoted is sufficient to protect your property.

Parrish Civic Association Corner
May 2016
Message from the Membership Chairman
Dear Friends:
Dear Friends:
New Creekside Commons Center
The Annual Membership Drive for the Parrish Civic Association began in January for
2016. Many of you have responded and mailed in your dues and we really appreciate
your support for the Parrish Civic Association. If you want to join before you receive the
official letter (if you were previously a member), simply fill out the form below, select
your level of membership, enclose a check and mail it in.
Getting back to the Creekside Commons shopping center – its developer
– Benderson Development – has an exceptional track record for building
upscale, well landscaped properties. In addition to the Walmart, there is
over 50,000 square feet of commercial space available along with five out
parcels with at least two targeted for full service restaurants. And remember that the number one thing you said in the surveys that we needed in
Parrish were full service restaurants. No word yet on what is going into
the 50,000 feet, but if you look at the tenants of other Benderson developments, you will probably see some that will be opening in Parrish. Just to
put the 50,000 feet into perspective, the Parkwood Center across US 301
has a little over 80,000 square feet total.
New Equipment for the Parrish Fire District
Two other things that happened last month have to do with the Parrish
Fire District. The first is the district took delivery of a new fire truck. The
new truck replaces 17 year old equipment and has about 20% more capacity to deliver water to a fire. District commissioners are to be congratulated because they were able to plan and pay for the engine up front and
thus received a price discount.
We appreciate your generosity. The only source of revenue for the Parrish Civic Association is dues. Your dues go to help our organization in many ways: supporting the Parrish
Children’s Christmas Party (held December 10, 2015 for over 130 children), funding for
the recent annual Heritage Day Parade and this year’s fifth Chili Cook Off (signs, posters, publicity), helping pay for bringing the Board of County Commissioners to our PCA
meetings, bringing other guest speakers to meetings and many other activities performed
by the Parrish Civic Association.
We now have over 450 members of the Parrish Civic Association. That’s a very good
number of people in the community who are interested in the Parrish community and
making it the best place to live in Manatee County.
By joining and providing you email address, we can keep you informed of any upcoming
meetings, events in the community, volunteers opportunities and general news about the
community.
If you are interested in helping out on any of our activities and want to be on a committee, please contact Ben Jordan, our President, at [email protected]. We would be
pleased if you would like to help. We have already met with several people new to the
area who are getting involved in our community’s activities. We also have a lot more
activities and iniatives planned. It is a lot of fun and a great group of people who work to
make a lot of activities occur.
And, volunteering is also fun. Every year, we need people for the Heritage Day Festival
and Chili Cook Off, Children’s Christmas Party with the Y and Parrish Arts Council as
well as other activities during the year.
We hope to see you soon in and around our Parrish community!

and mail it in with a check for your dues.
The second thing that happened is the Fire District Commissioners
unanimously approved a shared facility agreement with Manatee County
that will enable the County’s Public Safety Department to put an EMS
ambulance and crew at the Parrish Fire station. I sincerely hope none of
us will ever need the ambulance, but if we do we want it there ASAP and
this move will considerably shorten the response time. Thank you to our
Manatee County and Fire District Commissioners.

WOW!! Lots of things are happening in Parrish this past month. The announcement of an anchor store for Creekside Commons shopping center
was greeted with some mixed reactions -- the “anything but Walmart”
crowd was probably the most vocal on social media by a large margin.
Their feelings were mirrored in responses to past surveys in this newspaper where responders said they wanted a Target, Lowe’s or Home Depot.
But it turns out that these three along with several potential anchors are
either not building new stores in Florida or wanted a location closer to
I-75. The good news out of this is that Parrish has been recognized as an
“underserved area” in the commercial developer community and we can
expect more activity along Moccasin Wallow where there are several large
parcels of land already approved for commercial development.
