Another month has come and it’s
time to honor our fathers. Fathers Day
is a big day to pay tribute to the men
who made us the people we are today.
For those of you whose dads are still
living, pay homage to them on this day.
You never know when our Spiritual
Father will call on him to come home. Enjoy your
time together.
On a lighter note, Boomerz magazine has some
great news. We’re launching our second publication
in Pasco County. Same stories, great Boomerz content, just different ads. The first issue will be in July
and cover all of south Pasco, to include the Trinity
area. Those advertisers wishing to reach the Woodstock generation — that’s you — can give us a call
and get your business in our first collector’s edition. Our advertising rates are unbelievably reasonable and we reach a demographic that has the most
expendable income.
This publication is available at all CVS stores as
well as 7-Elevens in special racks.
Well, folks, until next month, have a great June
and continue enjoying your copy of Boomerz.
May God bless our country, state, city and, most
important, you and your family.
— Frank Allen

Wit and Witticism
For fathers
everywhere,
it’s necktie time
By TAMMY QUARLES
An essay for Boomerz
S
Reprinted from the Shopping Guide, June 1991
ince the beginning of time, people
have honored their patriarchs —
even staging full-scale celebrations
including activities ranging from
feasts to sacrifices.
Each family has its own way of celebrating Fathers Day. Certainly, none of these
could rival the sacrificial rites of our ancestors, but Dad does deserve some form of
tribute at least once a year.
Part of Dad’s honorarium usually involves some sort of gift. Actually, “gift” is
only a disguising label for “practical and
not-too-sentimental but relatively worthless trinket.” That’s right — it’s necktie
season.
Sixty-five percent of all dads will receive
neckties for Fathers Day. While a small
percentage of those carefully selected
adornments will actually be worn by their
recipients, most of the necktie benefactors out there seem to be intent on giving
Dad an “interesting” and “different” sort of
necktie to add to his “tacky tie” collection
at the back of his closet.
Conspiring another 33 percent of the Fathers Day gift selections is a rather extensive list of “stuff that if Dad really needed,
he would buy for himself” — golf balls, all
types, including the serious Pro Top Flite
ball as well as the neon-green model with
the words “Oh, S--t!” stamped in black...
cheap cologne such as “Stud” and “English
Locker Room”... useless power tools and
assorted gadgets like the new Ronco electronic combination pocket knife, screwdriver, nail clipper and nut cracker cleverly
disguised as a pair of tweezers (order now
and receive a free set of Ginsu knives)...
more socks...more underwear (the ones
from last Christmas are sitll in the package because most men prefer to wear the
older ones that moths have eaten holes
through — they know it drives their wives
bonkers)... the perpetual shaving mug and
brush (who really uses that combo except
Floyd The Barber?)... and of course, the
inevitable coffee cup emblazoned with “I’d
Rather Be Fishing/Golfing/
Skiing/Sleeping/Watching
Football.”
Two percent of all Dads
get something they
really want for Fathers Day. Why not give
Dad tickets to a baseball game, or a coupon
promising to mow the
lawn/clean the pool/
take out the trash for a
week/bathe the dog/
wash the car? How
about a video of the
Hooters girls or a
subscription to
Playboy? Maybe
Dad would like a
pet boa constrictor and some
live mice? Or
have you considered giving
him a case
of beer and
a muzzle for
Mom?
This Fathers
Day, stop and
think before
you buy the
usual obligatory gift —
“Does Dad
really need
this set of
golf club
covers with the
hot-pink furry yarn
balls on top?” “Will
Dad really wear this yellow plastic necktie with a beach scene enclosure of real
sand and water? Give Dad a gift he’ll
never forget. More than likely, a simple
“I love you” and a card will be enough.
Although a Playboy subscription really
can’t hurt.
How Fathers Day started
Grace Golden Clayton may have been
inspired by Anna Jarvis’ crusade to
establish Mother’s Day; two months
prior, Jarvis had held a celebration for her
dead mother in Grafton, W.Va., a town
about 15 miles away from Fairmont.
After the success obtained by Jarvis with
the promotion of Mother’s Day, the first
observance of a “Father’s Day” was held
on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, in the
Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church South, now known as Central
United Methodist Church. Grace Golden
Clayton was mourning the loss of her father
when, in December 1907, the mining
disaster in nearby Monongah killed 361
men, 250 of them fathers, leaving
around a thousand fatherless
children. Clayton suggested her
pastor, Robert Thomas Webb, honor
those fathers.
Father and daughter
On June 19, 1910, a Father’s Day
celebration was held in Spokane, Wash.,
at the YMCA by Sonora Smart Dodd, who
was born in Arkansas. Her father, the
Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart,
was a single parent who raised his six
children there. After hearing a sermon
about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909 at
Central Methodist Episcopal Church, she
told her pastor that fathers should have a
similar holiday honoring them. Although
she initially suggested June 5, her father’s
birthday, the pastors did not have enough
time to prepare their sermons, and the
celebration was deferred to the third
Sunday of June. Several local clergymen
accepted the idea, and on June 19,
1910, the first Father’s Day, “sermons
honoring fathers were presented
throughout the city.”
Federal recognition
A bill to accord national recognition
of the holiday was introduced
in Congress in 1913. In 1916,
President Woodrow Wilson wanted
to make it official, but Congress
resisted, fearing that it would
become commercialized. President
Calvin Coolidge recommended in
1924 that the day be observed
by the nation, but stopped short
of issuing a proclamation. Two
earlier attempts to formally
recognize the holiday had been
defeated by Congress. In 1957,
Maine Sen. Margaret Chase Smith
wrote a proposal accusing Congress
of ignoring fathers for 40 years while
honoring mothers, thus “[singling] out
just one of our two parents.” In 1966,
President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the
first presidential proclamation, designating
the third Sunday in June as Father’s
Day. Six years later, the day was made
permanent by President Richard Nixon.

It’s a golf course, a pro shop, a driving range,
sure, but more than that, this academy is
about developing at-risk youths.
It’s Chi Chi’s vision
By CHARLES DRAKE
Boomerz Magazine
It looks like a golf course.
It functions like a golf course.
It even makes money like a golf course.
But what it does best is create an
academic environment to prevent at-risk
youngsters in grades 4 through 8 from
falling into an unproductive lifetime,
dropping out of school without a highschool diploma. Here, they can catch up
and learn to excel.
The Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is
celebrating 35 years of operations this
year. Its campus is located on McMullen
Booth Road in Clearwater.
The academy was the brain-child of
Bill Hayes, a former golfer, stockbroker
and juvenile detention officer, Rodriguez
and Bob James, the founder of Raymond
James Financial.
Rodriguez visited a detention center
where he gave a mini golf clinic and
spent some time with the kids. He and
Hayes later talked about what they could
do when the idea of the at-risk rescue
program came up.
“The foundation, the school and the
work we do was an act of God,” Rodriguez said. “It goes back a long way. My
father and mother were very good with us
kids and our education. I was beginning to
doubt myself and my purpose and seeing
those kids succeed is the answer to my
prayer.”
From Rodriguez’s point of view, there
isn’t much more important than education.
“You can lose your money, you can
have your citizenship taken away, but
nobody can take your education and your
diploma away from you.” he said.
The Academy serves 95 students
now, with the goal of helping youngsters
receive their diploma. The partnership
they’ve forged with Pinellas County
Schools is where personalized attention
and golf, which many believe parallel life,
are creating pathways to success.
The school, built in 1993, is a voluntary
educational program for fourth- through
eighth-grade students who have been performing below grade level. The students
are motivated to learn through enhanced
academic experiences in golf course management, marketing and other real-world
business environments.
Using the golf course and its business
as a living classroom, that is what makes
the academy unique among alternative
education programs across the country.
Its small-school atmosphere, small
class sizes and individualized attention are
served up in lavish proportions. Partnerships with the Boys & Girls Club, The
First Tee of Clearwater and an active
community-service program help the
Academy fulfill its mission. Overall, the
three programs are impacting more than
1,500 children each year.

Chi Chi Rodriguez poses with Sarah, a Chi Chi Kid from 2008-13 whose career
goal is to be a pediatric nurse. A sophomore at Dunedin High School, she said, “I
have no idea where I would be academically or socially without this school. I will
never forget what I learned at the Chi Chi Academy.”
“Our board of directors is debating if
we should expand our services through
the 12th grade,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t
know what the answer will be, but what-
ever decision the board of directors makes
will be the right one.”
Cary Stiff, the foundation’s senior vice
president and executive director, said
BoomerzMagazine.com
that over the next several months, directors have asked community and business
leaders for their input on these educational
choices then incorporate that into the
future vision.
While Chi Chi Rodriguez is an icon
in golf, his true legacy are the successful young Americans who have benefited
from the hard work and focus of the
academy.

BOOMER TV/RADIO PERSONALITY
T
PAT GEORGE
his month, we explore the world
of one of the hardest-working
people I have met in the broadcast industry — Pat George. Best
known for his time between 1984 and 1999
reporting traffic on Q105 from the Bill
Currie Ford courtesy van, Pat continues to
have a multifaceted career in and out of the
broadcast realm.
NOTE: It looks like Pat will soon be
going back to his broadcasting roots at
a station near you. Stay tuned for further
details.
I first met Pat in the mid-70s when we
both worked at the old WDAE downtown
Tampa studios, at 101 Tampa St. They also
had FM 101 at the time, now Mix 100.7.
Pat was the janitor at the building and I was
doing overnights while studying at USF. I
ended up fired in a regime change and Pat
ended up running the board overnight, and
then became a fill-in on-air host.
Prior to launching his on-air career, he
had a rather fascinating life. He was born
in Scranton, Pa., and grew to age 10 in the
Poconos, were his father had a restaurant.
When he was 10, his dad was convinced by
friends to come enjoy the Florida lifestyle,
so they moved to Lutz. Unfortunately, his
ROGER P.
SCHULMAN
On the Media Beat
father passed away and he had to leave
Hillsborough High for a year to work at
the Pantry Pride supermarket to support his
mom and his three younger brothers and
sister.
He was known as the class clown,
according to a classmate at Hillsborough
High, and could be seen with sunglasses
in the back of the classroom so the teacher
couldn’t see his eyes were closed because
he fell asleep from working all night at the
grocery store.
He managed to get back in school a year
later and graduate a year late. He now gets
invitations from both the classes of 1973
and 1974 for class reunions. Pat says he
had always wanted to be a cop, so he knew
he needed to get a high school diploma to
be one, and that’s one of the main reasons
he went back to graduate. He still wasn’t
old enough to apply to the Tampa police
department, so he took numerous jobs.
He wanted initially to be a truck driver in
the interim, so he went to the employment
office and they called and said they had no
truck driving jobs but there was a janitorial
position at WDAE radio. He took that job,
and his broadcasting career was born.
He began assisting the legendary Al
Ford and his sky patrol from Al’s old
Tampa police airplane. Pat would be on
the ground relaying reports. Then he got
the Bill Currie Ford van job and relayed
reports from the road and fixed flat tires
and assisted at accidents. Scott Shannon of
Q Zoo fame heard him and stole him away
from WDAE and put him on the air as part
of the Q Morning Zoo. He lasted till 1999
when an ownership change ended his career there. A day later, he started at Radio
Disney, where he stayed till he retired from
that job in 2011. He taught many children
to be kidcasters and do interviews and
news stories on the radio. Some have gone
on to have successful careers in broadcasting themselves from that experience.

From Page 11
During this period, Pat learned how to
run audio equipment and that branched
out into a highly successful wedding MC
business and Pat still provides sound and
entertainment at all kinds of events…from
small parties to huge events with thousands in attendance. His number, if you
need his services, is 813-625-1629.
After Radio Disney, Pat became a
Hillsborough school security officer at
the child care center at Busch Boulevard
and Florida Avenue — he says that’s the
worst job he ever had. He worked with a
partner on a barbecue trailer for a while till
his partner sold it. He then got a job with
court security, checking people in at the
Hillsborough County Courthouse. Then he
got a wiener stand that he takes to various
events (you can call him for that too).
His eldest daughter, Kate, from a previous marriage, is doing very well in Texas
selling the Da Vinci surgery system to hospitals. His son, Austin, from his present
marriage to Amy, is graduating from high
school this month and is joining the U.S.
Air Force and plans to attend USF thru Air
Force education prorams and become an
officer. Meanwhile, he will be in security
forces at MacDill Air Force Base. Austin
is aiming high. He hopes to succeed to
such an extent in the Air Force that he
can run for the commander-in-chief’s job.
Yes, Austin wants to be the president of
the united states.
Pat can frequently be seen holding
court, playing music or testing the beverages at Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant on
Dale Mabry Highway — but stay tuned

The Defendants deliver the goods on
great classic rock music from the 1960s,

Of course, it is not rock and roll without the drums and bass, and Rick Klein

doing that with the band since 2007 when
they founded the Defendants with Smith.
They perform all the time in the Palm
Harbor/Tarpon Springs area, and are featured regularly at the Witch’s Brew in Palm
Harbor.
Klein and Smith were discussing Grand
Funk and great classic rock music when
they hooked up with Beltz and Brad Mehring to originally form the band. Mehring soon left for Boston, where he now
performs, and Thad Wiley, from Pittsburgh,
helped put the band on the local map with
his vocals and songwriting talents.
When Wiley left in 2010, the band was
furtunate to finally fill the void with Dewitt,

Protect yourself from pet allergies
North American Precis Syndicate
According to The Humane Society, 62
percent of American households have at
least one pet. Yet an estimated 31 million
Americans are allergic to animals, including up to 30 percent of those who have
asthma. For these people, congestion,
sneezing, runny nose and other allergic
symptoms occur whenever they are exposed to common household pets.
Below are five common misconceptions
about pet allergies. By knowing the truth
about these myths, you can take action to
live comfortably with the pets in your life.
Myth 1: It’s only pet hair-especially cat
hair-that causes allergies to flare up.
Not true. Pet hair is a nuisance and
causes allergies, as it contains saliva or
other pet proteins. Allergic reactions to
pets are actually caused by pet proteins
contained in pet dander such as microscopic skin flakes, and also in saliva and
urine. Overactive immune systems in
those with allergies attack these otherwise
harmless substances.
Animals with more fur are more likely
NAPS
You and your pets can get along better if you take steps to stop their dander from
aggravating your allergies.
to carry other allergens such as pet dander and dust, according to the American
Lung Association.
Myth 2: Continuous exposure to animals will eventually desensitize you.
Not only is this not true, but in some
cases, the opposite is true. If you have
a confirmed allergy to animals, whether
you are a child or adult, it usually will not
get better through increasing exposure. In
Keep your skin safe
from sun, smoke, chemicals
fact, it may get worse.
Myth 3: If you just get the right breed
of dog/cat/etc., you won’t have allergy
problems.
Not true. All cat and dog breeds produce dander. However, some breeds are
believed to be better for allergy sufferers than other breeds. Typically, the best
breeds are those that shed the least fur
and/or are the most frequently bathed.

Your skin is responsible for protecting
you from the world around you. In return,
you can protect it from the ravages of sun,
smoke and chemicals. Here are hints on
how:
1. Shun the sun. To reduce your risk of
excess ultraviolet exposure-which can lead
to premature aging, wrinkles and dry skintry to avoid the midday sun and wear a sun
protection factor of at least 15 whenever
you do go out, anytime, any season, any
weather.
2. Don’t smoke. In addition to other issues, smoking (and second-hand smoke) is
bad for your skin and can lead to wrinkles.
3. Drink (filtered water) to your health.
You can keep yourself well hydrated from
the inside out if you get your eight glasses
a day. It doesn’t all have to be water, but
keep alcohol and sugary soft drinks to a
minimum.
4. Eat right. Foods rich in antioxidants,
such as fruits and vegetables, can knock
out free radicals that damage the skin.
Broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, oats, kiwi,
pomegranates and blueberries are some of
the most antioxidant-rich choices you can
make. Watch your salt intake, since sodium
dries out the skin.
5. Exercise your right to good skin.
Those who are strong and physically fit
have a wealth of lean muscle tone that
helps prevent sagging skin and wrinkles.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a
day and be as active as you can-taking the
Myth 4: Small animals are not a problem for allergies.
Wrong. Hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and
other warm-blooded mammals can also
trigger asthma and allergies in people with
allergies to animal dander, according to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Birds are also a major problem for many
allergy sufferers, as birds release dander
into the air through activities such as cleaning their feathers, flapping their wings and
flying. If you are allergic to animals but
still want a pet, consider animals without
dander like a fish, turtle or other reptile.
Myth 5: Outside the home, you
shouldn’t have pet allergy problems.
Not necessarily. Because of their microscopic size and jagged shape, pet allergens

Mary Haggerty’s pineapple garden fell
prey recently to a thief. Haggerty, 11,
suffers with a life-threatening heart
condition.
Pineapples
for Mary
By DEBORAH BOSTOCK-KELLEY
Boomerz Magazine
Maybe the thief was hungry and stealing a little girl’s garden of pineapples was
a desperate act to feed a rumbling belly.
That’s what Mary Haggerty’s surrogate
health provider Rusty Boles hopes was the
reason why under the cloak of darkness,
someone would deprive a very special
11-year-old girl from enjoying the fruit
she nurtured in her garden.
When she took interest in watching
how pineapples grew, Rusty, founder of
Crosswaver Christian Ministry, showed
her how to tend a garden. Day after day,
week after week, she watched her pineapples grow in anticipating of tasting
literally the fruits of her labor.
Boles promised after her return from
All Children’s Hospital, they would reap
the rewards of her patience.
On Sunday night, the thief changed all
that.
“Someone might have thought they
were just stealing a pineapple, but in fact,
stress over this could kill this little girl,”
explained Boles. “Although I tried to keep
it positive, she was crying when I told
her.”
Mary suffers from a life-threatening
heart condition. She had open heart
surgery as an infant and has not grown
properly since. She’s heading back to All
Children’s Hospital for an MRI on her
arteries. The doctors are worried if her
arteries are strong enough to hold stitches.
“The last time her arteries weren’t
thick enough for surgery. If they burst,
she dies,” explained Boles. “They said
the only thing we can do is proper diet,
vitamins and moderate exercise. I contacted every hospital all over Europe
and America and they all said the same
thing – pray and do what the cardiologist
says. She could be walking across the
playground and fall over dead. When the
diagnosis came in six months ago, I had
a real hard time accepting that. She’s tiny
and the reason she’s tiny is she’s getting
restricted blood flow.”
Besides resurrecting the pineapple garden, Bowles’ goal is raise enough to send
Mary and her family to Atlanta Aquarium
for the family’s first vacation. Donations
are being accepted at www.crosswaver.

The WriteOne Creative Services is a
successful woman-owned, creative services company for the busy entrepreneur
or small business that
cannot justify hiring
a full-time person or
paying the inflated
overhead of an outside
ad agency.
“When you hire me,
you get me,” said Deborah Kelley, business
Kelley
founder. “Throughout
the process, we work
hand in hand, in-person and virtually to
make your creative vision a reality.”
Celebrating 10 years in February
2015, Kelley prides herself on exceeding
her customer’s expectation. Her stellar
industry reputation is apparent in being
voted by her customers as LocalShops1
“Best Established Business” and AOL
Patch Westchase’s Top 4 Finalist for
“Best Customer Service.”
“I’ve never paid for advertising,” said
Kelley. “Customer referrals are the best
advertising I could ask for.”
Kelley has the ability to do everything
for a small business.
Instead of going to an ad agency for
print work, a web company for a website,
a social media business for Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, etc. and finally finding
a decent copywriter for writing, working
in only the most current software, Kelley
combines years in journalism and advertising editorial copywriting with graphic
design, web design and marketing in
one experienced person, passionate and
dedicated to your business. She is also a
freelance reporter for the Tampa Tribune
and Neighborhood News and Lifestyles
Magazine. And it probably comes as no
surprise - she also is publicity and public
relations, an amateur photographer, a
volunteer who takes show publicity photos at Carrollwood Players Theatre and
transforms them into flyers and marquee
posters.
“There’s a saying - strangers are
friends we just haven’t met yet,” said
Kelley. “If you look at how many clients
have become my friends, I can paraphrase that to ‘clients are friends that I
just happen to work for.’ ”
Kelley’s continued success is an example of where determination, dedication
and an entrepreneurial spirit can lead.

Making it
larger than life
A former hockey wingman and trucker now makes memorable sculptures
By CHARLES DRAKE
Boomerz Magazine
It was an eighth-grade art class in
which Tony DiFalco first sculpted clay
into a very realistic human form that surprised both him and his teacher because it
was so well done.
“I never gave art a second thought
back then,” he said. “I was headed for
a hockey career. I played right wing
for high school and some AAA travel
hockey before realizing that the NHL
wasn’t going to call.
At 28, he started driving trucks and
ultimately owned a small trucking firm
and was making a living. The trucking
business paid the bills.
Change came following a divorce,
where his heart wasn’t in the business any
more; he and friends drove to Daytona
for the 500, which led to a quick trip to
Clearwater Beach.
“I say my being here is just an accident,” he said. “I’d never been on this
side of Florida and once I saw Clearwater
Beach I decided that’s where I wanted to
be.”
DiFalco worked on Clearwater Beach
for 15 years, where he started to work on
artistic projects. “You know, sign lettering, painting surf boards, until I was
asked to sculpt an 11-foot dolphin for the
Dolphin Encounter cruise ship and the
three-dimensional commercial art projects
just started to come.”
“It wasn’t easy. A lot of times, I was
struggling, but I stuck with it and kept
working on projects that continued to turn
out well which led to the next project,” he
says.
He thinks his Iguana creation that rests
on the rocks outside Jimmy’s Iguana at
the Holiday Inn on Indian Rocks Beach is
his signature piece.
“It was pretty complicated. It’s 27
feet long. I started from a picture of an
Iguana from the Internet and worked out
the dimensions, built an internal frame
and sculpted the exterior,” he said. “But
the most complicated was a Cambodian
figure because the sculpture had flowers
in her hair and each one of those had to
be fabricated so they matched. It took me
longer than I planned.”
The most surprising project was building the logos for MSNBC’s television
coverage for the 2012 Republican and
Democratic conventions.
“They said they never get such work
done outside of New York, but they arrived here in a bind, and gave me the job,
which I accomplished in three days,” he
said.
Other projects include a huge sculpture
of an octopus with sea creatures in its

tentacles, which rests on top of a Wilmington, N.C., seafood restaurant.
“It took four of us to carry just the head
because it’s so big,” he said.
“Every one of these projects have
definitely stretched my ability,” he said.
“Sometimes in the middle of them, I wonder just what have I gotten myself into,
but they all have turned out great.”
This phase of his artistic pursuits started slowly, the natural talent he showed as
that eighth grader started to emerge.
“Even my mother questions where all
this art comes from,” he said. “I don’t
know, but I love doing it.”
He speaks proudly of being hired by
the Home Shopping Network as part of
a set building crew.
“I was so surprised they hired me,
but it is great and I can’t say enough
about how well they’ve treated me.”
He said. “I’ve since learned that the
company seeks out and hires artists as
a result they have some very talented
people on available to them and it is
impressive what we can do.”
He’s taking some time now returning to Detroit to throw his skills and
muscles behind a project building a television set for Peacemakers International
a 20-year-old Detroit-based motorcycle,
prison and drug recovery church mission
that was important to him as a younger
man.
Pastor Steve Upsur and his brother Jeremiah are focused exclusively on bringing
hurting individuals back into Detroit’s
local maintain stream community through
their unique Christian ministry. DiFalco
heard they could use a refurbishing of
their church oriented television production
set.
“I build sets and this is my chance to
give back to my community.” he said.
“Pastor Steve has been a mainstay in
Detroit as he and his extensive network of
disciples continue to reach out and bring
people back into the working community
that is constant and it is a pleasure to help
him.”

Storm season is here
— is your pet prepared?
By DONNA KLENOVICH
Special to Boomerz Magazine
Thunderstorm and hurricane season is upon us. It’s
time now to get stocked up on everything you will need
to see you through what we all hope will be a mild summer.
Our pets will sense that daily thunderstorm long before
we even realize one is coming. I’ve included a photo of
some of the more popular remedies, that I know work
amazingly. The capsules, pills or liquids taken internally
are inexpensive and very effective. The sprays are also
quite appropriate and work well. Thundershirts also work
but a little bit more expensive. There are also plug in
pheromones that work, however they can be quite costly,
but you can buy refills.
I’ve included some travel anxiety remedies just in case
you have to move quickly because we never leave our
pets behind. Remember that!!
We are in a state that could possibly get weather that
would make us have to leave our homes, especially if
you’re close to the water or in a flood zone area. Please,
please have a plan in place. Now is the time to sit down
and decide where you will go, will your pet be able to
go with you? If not, have arrangements made in advance. Make sure if you’re going to use a boarding
facility or even a vet, find one that will be safe from
rising waters.
Get all your ducks in a row! Food, treats, supplements,
medicines,favorite toys,water and food dishes, crates and
anything else you know your pet will need during their
stay away from home. It could be traumatic for your pet
so make everything as normal as possible which is why
it’s so important to surround them with their familiar
items. Try to feed them at their normal time.
Your pet is depending on you now more than ever to
protect them and keep them safe. Don’t ever wait until
the last minute if you’re supposed to evacuate. Do it on
the first warning, not the last!! Don’t place emergency
workers at risk to save you because you didn’t listen to

evacuation warnings. Most will not allow you to bring
your pet if they are there to rescue you. So leave when
you’re told and take your pet or pets with you.
MAKE YOUR LIST NOW!
You might want to visit your favorite pet store (like

for this coming summer!

N.
f it’s excellent food, great service and
wonderful atmosphere you want, you
simply must rush right over to Tarpon Bar and Grill at 1981 N. Pinellas
Ave. in Tarpon Springs.
You think I’m going to stop there? Not
a chance! Mike and Jake, the owners of this
great place, will be celebrating their first
year at this location on June 13.
Jake’s wife, Vera, worked at the restaurant at its former location, and in 2004 she
found out the place was up for sale and in
no uncertain terms told her husband he better buy it or else! The rest is history.
Now let me get into the reason why the
place is so successful. You won’t find a
more diversified menu in any other restaurant. London Broil, Stuffed Pork Chops,
Spinach Pie, Moussaka and Fruit Plates are
just a few of the items on their menu. The
foods are definitely for those of you that
have a gourmet palate.
Everything is made fresh daily including their soups and desserts. Oh did I just
mention soup? Wow…Mike brought us
out a bowl of their soup today, which was
Chicken Dumpling. More than delicious.
I know soups and this was one of the best
I’ve ever tasted. They even make all their
own bread. Make sure when you come
you need to order the “real” baby back
ribs with their own home-made Barbeque
sauce.
From hamburgers (5 or 9 oz.) and fries
to a full dinner you will find it at this
restaurant and as long as you order a drink
you get a dessert with your meal.
I would like to stress upon all that
frequent this place — quality is never
compromised. Even if it costs the owners
a little more, they maintain a lower price
with huge portions.
Would like to just stop in for a little
snack and a drink? Guess what? This place
has a full bar! And a well-stocked one at
that! Want 50 percent off one of their many
appetizers? Just spend $5 on drinks and
you’ve got it! There are six flat-screen TV’s
throughout the bar and dining area so you
won’t miss any sporting events.
Tuesdays are “all you can eat crab legs”
day, Wednesdays are “50 cent wings”
day, Thursdays are karaoke, Fridays “Fish
Days,” Saturdays are just plain “Busy
Days” and Sundays are prime rib days.
Did I miss a day? Let me tell you about
the brand new day — Motown Mondays!
Get two Detroit-style Coney Islands,
crispy fries, and your choice of beer, soda,
coffee or tea for $8 all day... And yes,
they’ll be playing Motown music!
Looking forward to seeing you all!
