YOUR LOCAL EVENT FINDER
LOCAL CHARITIES TO SCORE AT KICKBALL TOURNEY
What’s more fun than
playing kickball? Playing—or
watching—kickball for your
favorite charity, of course.
More than 20 local sponsors,
a maximum of 24 teams, and
hundreds of young professionals
and community leaders will
come together on Saturday, Feb.
20, at 10 a.m., for a daylong
kickball tournament at Diamond
Sports Park. The fourth annual
Champions for Charity kickball
-Colleen Raccioppi
tournament, presented by the
Florida Farm Bureau and hosted
by Alachua County Emerging
Leaders (ACEL), will give
corporate and nonprofit teams
a chance to play hard and win
big prizes for the local charities
of their choice. ACEL expects
to donate at least $3,500 to
the top winning teams’ chosen
charities.

enjoyable charity events I’ve

Hilltop Animal Hospital Gives Back
Hilltop Animal Hospital
was established in Alachua over
10 years ago to help fill the
veterinary needs of the growing
community. Hilltop Animal
Hospital has always prided itself
on being more than just your
veterinarian. To help give back
to the community and the animal
world, Hilltop Animal Hospital
established what has come to be
known as their “Stray Fund”.
Hilltop Animal Hospital
has placed many stray and

years. Our hospital’s rescue
began with a simple decorated
coffee can on the front counter
for donations. The monies
collected in the “donations
jar” were designated to help us
provide veterinary services for
sick and injured stray and feral
pets brought to us by clients and
Good Samaritans.
One of the first pets we
took in was a 5 year old brown
tabby named “Fat Cat”. Fat
Cat had a urinary blockage and
the owner could not afford to
pay for his treatment and they
wanted to euthanize him. His
condition required prescription
diets and frequent trips to the
veterinarian which they simply
could not provide for him. Fat
Cat became our “clinic kitty”
living here at the hospital and
serving as a blood donor for
those in need. He has been able
to save countless lives over the
years. Fat Cat was well loved by
all of our staff and clients until
he recently lost his battle with
Gastrointestinal Lymphoma.

Message from Michelle:
February is the shortest month
of the year and, as we all know,
it is the month with Valentine’s
Day- a day to show your
sweetheart you love him or her.
But shouldn’t that be everyday?
I could sit here and talk about all
the nice sweet things to do with
your sweetheart, and places to
go, and what to do. Instead, I
decided to say something a little
different.
Don’t you love walking on
the beach with your sweetheart
hand-in- hand? Or lounging
around by one of the many
springs in our area? How about
going for a nice peaceful walk
in one of the parks and enjoying
the beauty that surrounds you?
I’m sure you have
compared your sweetheart to the
beauty of the sunset and noticed
the way the sun shines through
the trees and hits his or her face
and hair. I am sure you think
you would do anything to freeze
that moment in time. Wouldn’t
you do anything to assure these
moments last? What happens
when these moments are gone?
The protective nature we have
for the ones we love is also the
protective nature we should
have for “nature”.
Protecting what surrounds
us is, in reality, protecting those
we love. If you take a moment
to sit and think of all the times
you enjoyed the outside with
your sweetheart and made
wonderful memories, you will
realize one of the major factors
in those situations were your
surroundings.
It does not always have to
take a ton of time to take care of
these things. It can be something
as simple as recycling, picking
up trash that you see as you
are walking, or speaking up
when your voice can make a
difference. It can be as simple as
hooking your small appliances
to a power strip and getting in
the habit of turning it off when
you leave the house- same goes
with turning down the heat and
the air.
Many people do not
realize that even when their
laptops and such are turned
off they still drain electricity.
Switch them off and save that
power. Use reusable bags at the
grocery store instead of plastic
bags. They are .99 cents in
most places. Or if you go to the
goodwill you can pick them up
for .50 cents.
Show your sweetheart
how much you really cherish
those moments you spend
together walking on the beach
or in the parks. Plant a tree or
flowers this Valentine’s. Show
each other every day how much
you love every moment and
every memory you have shared
with the one you love. Start
small and with something you
both can enjoy. You can buy
trees or plants quiet cheap at
Lowe’s, any nursery or out at
the flea market.
Make
your
natural
surroundings reflect the beauty
and love you feel for one another
and allow for a future of great
memories.

Sunshine State Archaeological Society
-Michelle Wescott
The Sunshine State
Archaeological Society (SSAS)
was founded in August 2002
to help promote the study of
archaeology and to encourage
the study of curation of
prehistoric artifacts. They
also encourage the interaction
between
professional
and
amateur archaeologists.
The SSAS is affiliated
with the Central States
Archaeological society. They
are a non-profit organization
with no salaried officers or
employees. This is why the fairs
they sponsor and events they
host are so important to each
and every community.
The SSAS sponsors The
Gainesville Artifact and Fossil
Show that is held in June, as
well as the Alachua Stone Age
Fair that was held in January.
They also host educational
lectures dealing with regional
archaeology.
The
22nd
Annual
Gainesville Artifact and Fossil
Show is Saturday June 5, 2010.
It will be held at the Clarion Inn
& Conference Center. Be sure to
keep checking with us for more
information about the Artifact
and Fossil Show.
A v o c a t i o n a l
Archaeologists are important in
Florida because many people do
not know that the majority of prehistoric artifacts found in Florida
reside in private collections. The
simple fact is that there are too
many archaeological sites and
associated artifacts for public

Private collectors are an
essential part of the solution for
preserving Florida’s past. They
have the interest, time, and
financial resources necessary
to discover, preserve, and
protect a stunning array of
stone, bone, shell, wood, and
ceramic prehistoric artifacts
that record an essential portion
of Florida’s pre-history. These
artifacts provide the only
tangible evidence of the people
who lived here first. While the
public may enjoy a museum
exhibit of projectile points once
or twice a year, new specimens
are rarely rotated in for public
observation.
The Gainesville Artifact
and Fossil Show and the Alachua
Stone Age Fair provide venues
where many privately-owned
and locally-collected artifact
collections are on display for the
benefit of the general public.

Winter Fine Art Fair at Tioga
Once again the tents will
go up and the artisans lay out
their creations for the Tioga
Winter Fine Art Fair. This is the
third year for this cozy festival,
and despite high winds last
year, has continued to do very
well. It starts, unusually, Friday
evening, with music and food,
allowing patrons to wander
around the lighted booths and
preview the show.
This show, like the
long-established Art Festival
at Thornebrook, is run by
the Gainesville Fine Arts
Association, a local group of
wonderful and talented artists
and craftspeople. They put on a
class act, and have a wonderful
Art Around Alachua- Hoggetown Medieval Faire – From the Inside!
The Hoggetown Medieval
Faire is a fantastic journey
into a time of lords and ladies,
jousting and juggling, armor
and art. Yet, as a visitor, you
only get to see the outside – the
face of the show that everyone
wants you to see. What’s it like
on the underside? What efforts
are made to make this illusion?
How does it all come together?
First of all, this fair
would never happen without the
incredible efforts of Linda Piper,
Director of the Gainesville Arts
& Cultural Affairs Department.
She runs this show, as well as
the Gainesville Downtown Fine
Arts Festival in November,
and works with the vendors,
performers, city police and park
authorities to get everything
organized and ready. She is a
smiling face throughout the fair,
helping to put out figurative fires
and getting problems solved as
they appear.
Vendors and performers
apply to be in the show the
previous fall, and they are
scrutinized to make sure their
wares and shows conform to the
standards required for the faire.
They also need to make sure all
participants are ‘period’, i.e.,
making sure they are medieval
or renaissance in nature, design,
and appearance. That is why
all the tents look like they are
made out of natural materials,
rather than white plastic, and
the vendors dress in corsets and
kilts, rather than jeans and flipflops.
Now to the days before
opening morning! Hundreds of
vendors and performers work
for days to set up the structures
that set the stage for the
illusion. The sound stages for
performances, the food vendor
stalls, the tents and stalls that
house arts, crafts, face-painting,
mead sales, and various other
well-known offerings. There
is a camaraderie among the
vendors, especially those that
come back year after year –
perhaps you only see them once
a year, perhaps you do several
shows together, but they are old
friends, and part of a group that
knows what it’s like to be part
of this special group.
The morning of the faire
dawns, and everyone is anxious
and excited, ready for the show
to start. The final touches are
put on displays, costumes, and
personas. A little more fluff to
the matted hair for the medieval
bag lady; a little more push for
the tight corset; a little more
mud and straw on the boots for
that authentic look. Then the
trumpets sound, and the gates
are opened! We all put on our
brightest and friendliest faces
– knowing that most folks will
walk right on by first thing,
and see most of the fair before
settling down to any actual
purchases.
My own spot is usually
right across from the camel
and elephant rides, so I get to
spend the day listening to the
dulcet tones of ‘Camel, camel,
camel, camel, camel! Get your
camel rides! Get your Elephant
rides right here!’ , the delicate
notes of a harpist drifts from the
nearby performance tent, and
the screeches of children, some
delighted, others less so. I enjoy
the fair because I get to see lots
of folks who are interested in
history, and I can speak in a
cheesy Irish accent all weekend,
and no one laughs at me. I get to
see fantastic costumes, hilarious
performances, and sexy kilts.
The end of the day brings
tiredness – it’s been a long day
in the sun (or the cold), and
that Irish accent is beginning to
fade a bit to English, which is
easier for me to maintain. The
costumes look a bit wilted, and
that cup of mead is looking
really good. You hope for some
Christy Nicholas
selection of pottery, paintings,
quilts and photography to dazzle
your senses.
The show runs from 5pm to 9pm
on Friday night, and then from
10am to 5pm on Saturday and
11am to 4pm on Sunday. There
are 70 artists to browse, and
many charitable organizations
to patronize. Do stop by the
Sebastian Ferraro Foundation
information booth, a local
charity looking to raise money
to create a children’s hospital in
the area.
The show is set in and
behind the fantastic Town of
Tioga shopping center, which
has many businesses to cater to
your needs.
Christy Nicholas
last minute shoppers, or the ‘bebacks’ (Oh, I’ll come back and
get it on my way out) to stop
by for a purchase, but usually
they’re tired as well, and make
a bee-line for the exit. Many are
carrying sleeping toddlers, or
dragging cranky kids, perhaps
wrapped up in a jacket as the
sun starts going down and the
temperature starts dropping.
Then, more work for us –
we’ve got to start putting away
the inventory, batten down the
hatches, and keep the tent from
being blown away in the night.
By that time, we are dragging
our feet, hands, and any other
appendage that moves. With
aching feet, we make our way to
our cars, hidden among the sea
of parked vehicles, seemingly
in Timbuktu. We collapse at
our homes, and realize that in
just 8 hours, we’ve got to wake
up and do it all again.
We love doing the fair,
but it is a LOT of work. We love
that the Grand Illusion works
and that people enjoy it – and
enjoy coming back year after
year. It is a fantastic escape
from the stresses and pains of
real life, and it is worth it to see
the enchanted faces of children
and adults as they walk through
the fantasy of the Faire.

President Derek Lyons. “I’m
so proud of ACEL for coming
up with an original and fun way
to give back to our community.
The kickball tournament is the
centerpiece of our fundraising
efforts. To date, we’ve donated
nearly $25,000 to local charities
and look forward to adding to
that this year.”

Competition during the
2009 kickball tournament was
fun and fierce, and the first
place winner was Gainesville’s
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
or Jaycees, which earned an
impressive $2,000 for Tyler’s
Hope Foundation, a Gainesville
nonprofit organization dedicated
to preventing and finding a cure
for the neurological movement
-Colleen Raccioppi
disorder
dystonia.
Rick
Staab, president of InterMed
Biomedical Services Inc., and
a Tyler’s Hope board member,
said the event brought muchneeded publicity to a good
cause.
“We feel the Champions
for Charity kickball tournament
is a fantastic event that brings
awareness to many important
charities in our community,”
said Staab. “Tyler’s Hope for a
Dystonia Cure is so grateful for
the opportunity to play in such
a fun event and for ACEL, who
continues to make the event and
our community better.”
There are still a few
spots available for teams that
want to participate in this
year’s tournament. Corporate
businesses, nonprofits or even
groups of friends may sign up
as a team by downloading the

Eat protein with every

Eat a fruit or vegetable

and full of nutrients to

Eliminate all processed

(Pasta,

Use healthy fats and oils

Take a high-quality

The next step is to use
resistance training. Resistance
training includes body weight
exercises, dumbbells, barbells,
kettlebells, bands, odd objects
(kegs, sandbags, tires, etc.) and
many other similar tools that
create resistance that the body
must overcome.
However, rather than
using typical resistance training
methods, I suggest taking it one
step further and performing
metabolic resistance training
or cardio strength training.
This type of resistance training
uses the same tools mentioned
before but combines resistance
exercises in a format to create
a fast-paced workout that
provides cardiovascular and
strength benefits.
Typically,
metabolic
resistance training or cardio
strength training consists of
moderate-to-heavy
weights
performed as supersets, circuits,
timed sets or complexes with
little-to-no rest in order to create
a metabolic “disturbance”
within the body. Remember,
resistance training is essential
because it builds muscle,

burns calories (during training
and for more than 38 hours
afterward) and increases your
metabolism, strength, and bone
density, improves your posture,
and strengthens your heart and
lungs.
There are numerous
studies showing the benefits of
metabolic resistance training
and cardio strength training.
When combined with a proper
nutritional program, metabolic
resistance training burns more
fat and builds more muscle than
diet or exercise alone. And both
methods are far superior than
aerobic exercise (steady-state
cardio such as jogging, biking,
etc.).
At Underground Fitness

nutritional guidelines and

reach their goals. In addition,
we utilize training programs that
include metabolic resistance

with fat loss while increasing

NIGHT LIFE
University of Florida College of Fine Arts and the School of Theatre and Dance present Oedipus the King
The tragedy of Oedipus,
who unknowingly slays his
father and marries his mother, is
one of the mythical cornerstones
of Western civilization. The
School of Theatre and Dance’s
production is directed and
adapted for the stage by Yanci
Bukovec. In creating the
adaption Professor Bukovec
wanted to make the play
available to everyone. “This
performance adaption was
created for a particular theatre
and a particular audience in
mind.”
This production is unique
as it highlights the vocal and

speech dynamics of this style
of theatre. This adaption was
made not with the scholars and
purists in mind. “Some sections
have a very contemporary feel,
and then we switch to a more
stylized feel,” Bukovec said.
“In choosing the classics we
are able to develop the vocal
and speech skills of the actors
so they can leave with a well
rounded education.”
Aided by oracles, a
chorus, and one of the greatest
tragic figures in all of dramatic
literature, the play focuses on
Oedipus’ act of discovery and
its consequences and explores

DANCE
CLASSES Morris is an English
traditional folk dance form.
How old it is, no one knows
for certain, but Shakespeare
used morris dancing in a few
plays, and it was considered old
even in his day. Modern morris
includes several different types
(called “traditions”) of dance,
all named for different regions
of the British Isles; Cotswold
Morris from the south, Border
Morris from the west, Molly
Dancing from the southeast, and
Northwest Morris from (you
guessed it) the northwest. Many
people also include Longsword,
Rapper (sword), Clog, and
Garland dancing in the term
“morris”.
