There aren't a lot of elementary school projects I look back on fondly. The year we had a class rabbit, which I took home with me for a weekend? All I got was a mess to clean in the basement one night and a strange cedar-chip smell in our classroom year-round. Making a scaled-down solar system? That wasn't awful, but it wasn't something I'd like to do again, either. Then there was the annual Great American Day where I'd go in dressed as Mary Todd Lincoln, basically every year, wearing the same brown polyester dress and bonnet. I can't remember where we bought that costume, but boy, it saw a lot of Halloweens. One project that stands out in particular memory was something you'd think I'd have loved, especially with the alternatives: a class cookbook, with one recipe coming from each child, being printed up and made into copies for each of us to keep. Looking back, I don't know why I didn't ask my mom for help with that cookbook---in fact, judging from the barbeque chickens and … [Read more...]

All Kinds of slice and bakes
The first time I tried to post about these cookies was in the middle of December, just after I had mixed up the dough, a doubled recipe, and placed a group of wrapped logs in my freezer. There were four different kinds---chocolate, lemon-chamomile, pecan and chocolate chocolate-chip---and the mixing and rolling had been a snap. It was the kind of thing I'd usually love to tell you about. But instead, the next day I just stared at my blank computer screen, watching the clock tick by in the upper right-hand corner. It was actually pretty horrible, now that I remember it. I'd try to think about the cookies, and I'd look at the photos of them, and, well, nothing. So I tried again a week later, after I'd sliced the logs into thick coins and baked several batches for a holiday party, stacking them in clear containers lined with red tissue paper. Still nothing. By the time I was giving groups of them as gifts at Christmas, I had all but given up on posting here, despite how delicious … [Read more...]
hold in your hand, hot
I have wanted Meyer lemons for years. Mainly because, when I couldn't find them, there were recipes everywhere with Meyer lemon this and Meyer lemon that, and, well, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Of course, just like most things we want because we can't have, as soon as I bought them, I couldn't find any of those taunting recipes, and then I had to go looking for ideas. I made a cake: a Meyer lemon cake, with Meyer lemon glaze and candied Meyer lemons on top. But it wasn't that good, and I only kind of liked it, and it took all my Meyer lemons but gave me little in return, just something mildly edible to snack on for the next week, before I would throw the remaining half in the garbage (the garbage!). And somewhere in the midst of this, I decided that the whole thing is symbolic, and not just of the fact that I always want what I can't have, from people to places to ice cream sundaes late at night. Truth is, sometimes things just don't go how you want them to in … [Read more...]
All Warm Inside
The other way to make January feel a little brighter, I mean beyond marshmallows plump with peppermint, should really come as no surprise. Cold days call for one thing, and it's the kind of thing you probably wouldn't mind eating on not-so-cold days, either: hot homemade soup. Now, if this were any other food group, you might be tempted to point out that, hey, you just wrote about another soup, that potato and onion one, last week, didn't you? You could legitimately ask, what, is this going to be like the cookies now, where you all get on a kick with something and make them over and over again? So I'm very glad it is soup---hot, comforting, perfectly seasoned soup---that's in question. Or else I'd have very little to say in my defense. So first things first, this is a spinach soup. Spinach is one of those things---along with tomatoes, asparagus, parmesan cheese and pecans---that I had to grow to enjoy. I liked Popeye as much as the next kid (although maybe not as much as my mom, … [Read more...]
Just Like That
And just like that, the holidays are over. The momentum we've felt since Halloween has ended, and we begin four long months with no national vacations, and, at least around here, bitter ice and snow. Our Januarys are cold and sad in Chicago. I like them least of all the months, every year barely willing myself through, anxious for rainy April and blooming flowers. To begin, we take down our Christmas trees or menorahs, removing all remnants of the previous months of celebration. Am I the only one who hates this? I mean, sure, it can't be Christmas forever. But don't things seem powerfully colder without twinkling lights and colorful displays? Isn't it, I don't know, depressing to see stores pull out Valentine's candy, when that is over a month away, as if it's all we have to look forward to now? I say someone needs to put a holiday smack-dab at the end of January. I mean it. We could take a day off for the inauguration or a president's birthday or, why not, just because? This … [Read more...]

A New Fairfield resident was killed in action Thursday in Afghanistan, according to the governor's office.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy ordered state and U.S. flags to fly at half-staff in honor of Staff Sgt. Todd Lobraico on Friday.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Staff Sgt. Lobraico. His family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time," Malloy said in a statement. "This loss reminds us of the dangers faced by our men and women stationed overseas. We should all be grateful for their service and sacrifices to our country."
Lobraico, 22, was a member of the New York Air National Guard and a 2008 graduate of New Fairfield High School, according to the statement.
"The loss of this brave young man is a sad reminder that hundreds of Connecticut military men and women are still in danger overseas even as our involvement in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan approaches a conclusion," Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman said. "I hope that all Connecticut residents take a moment to recognize the sacrifice in defense of our freedom made by Airman Lobraico and the other 64 heroes from our state lost in battle since September 11, 2001."
Flags will remain at half-staff until Lobraico's burial. The details for the arrangements have not yet been released.
"This courageous and patriotic young man will be missed and mourned by his friends and family in Connecticut," U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in a statement. "Staff Sgt. Lobraico's service and sacrifice should be a source of pride and gratitude for all of us. Our hearts and prayers go to his family and loved ones, as well as to the brave, dedicated men and women who continue to serve our nation in uniform across the globe."

- Gold prices tumbled to their sharpest single-session loss since March 2015, based on most-active contracts, as investors turned more optimistic on the global economy after stock markets rallied and the European Central Bank said it stood ready to boost stimulus measures if needed.
- Adding to gold's decline was a report from Goldman Sachs commodities chief Jeffrey Currie, who said it is time to bet against the traditional safe haven as investor fears are overdone and do not justify the recent rally.
- "On net, fears around China, oil and negative interest rates have likely been overstated in the gold price and other financial markets," Currie says, doubling down on an earlier prediction that gold will slump to $1,100/oz. in three months and $1,000/oz. in 12 months.

- Platinum prices breach $1,500/oz. and palladium futures also jump as better than expected U.S. car sales data and a new strike in South Africa lured buyers into both markets.
- Upbeat reports from GM, Ford, et. al. bucked expectations for a slowdown in car sales, boosting investor appetite for platinum and palladium, which are both widely used in car exhaust filters.
- Meanwhile, a new strike by metal workers and engineers in South Africa have renewed concerns about supply after the country is still recovering from a five-month strike by platinum workers.

- South Africa's AMCU says its members agreed to a wage settlement that will end the country's longest-ever strike which has cost the mining industry 1.1M oz. in lost platinum production and helped shrink the country's economy by 0.6% in Q1 from a year earlier.
- The world's three-biggest platinum producers - Amplats (AAUKF, AAUKY), Impala Platinum (IMPUY) and Lonmin (LNMIF) - say they each lost roughly a third of their annual production, and analysts say it will take at least three months to get production back to pre-strike levels after mines have been mostly idle for the past several months.

- South Africa's platinum miners say the industry's main labor union has made new demands that go beyond a preliminary accord struck last week, which may delay an apparent agreement to end the five-month strike by 70K-plus mine workers.
- AMCU, which has led the strike, now wants the new wage agreement to run for three years instead of five, seeks a once-time payment of ~$270 to each worker, and wants miner Lonmin (LNMIF) to rehire 235 workers it recently dismissed for participating in the strike.
- Top platinum miner Amplats (AAUKF, AAUKY) and the union are scheduled to meet today to discuss the new demands; Impala Platinum (IMPUY) says some of the new issues raised by the union are "problematic" and that it "could still take some time" to sign a deal.

Jun. 12, 2014, 8:54 AM
- South Africa's top platinum companies and the biggest mineworkers union agree on proposals that the labor organization will take to its members in a bid to end a five-month pay strike.
- The AMCU union is meeting members at mines today to get their views on the proposal, and the companies - Amplats (AAUKF, AAUKY), Impala Platinum (IMPUY) and Lonmin (LNMIF) - expect a response tomorrow.
- More than 70K members of the union have been on strike over pay since Jan. 23, which producers say has cost 22B rand in revenue.

I have my site setup to display its content when you hover over the buttons on my nav bar. Once you hover over the button the content will stay up as long as your mouse pointer is over the content box. I'm running into two problems that make me want to get the content box to stay open unless you click off of it.
The first issue is that some of my buttons are close the the bottom of the content box and its not very hard at all to let the box close by mistake. I could fix this by making the content boxes larger and giving padding to the content.
The second issue is worse. Most of my content boxes hold forms. The text boxes inside the forms remember what you have previously typed into them. The problem is that once you start typing into the box it has a drop down that gives you the ability to choose from text that you have already typed into the box. When your mouse goes over this drop down it closes the content box. This happens almost every time you type into a box because your mouse is normally left near the text box that you have just clicked on to type into.
I like having the browser remember whats been typed in the text boxes but I don't know how to get it to stop closing my content boxes. I've seen some image and video galleries that pop up an image or video and then the only way to close it is by clicking off of the pop up window or pressing esc.
How would I apply that feature to my site?

My husband and I stayed at Breezes Bahamas for 4 nights earlier this month. And we had a blast!
The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom seemed to have been updated fairly recently -- it, too, was spotless. A large flat screen TV hung on the wall over the dresser. The only recommendation I'd make for the room would be to add a table and chairs for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The room has plenty of space for a small circular table with two comfy chairs.
The service was great -- everyone was extremely helpful and attentive -- and friendly! Ask Angela to make you a "Tropical Delight"! Mmm!
We played some ping pong and pool several times on the main floor. And helped ourselves to slushy bevvies in the morning on our way out to the beach. The gift shop was typical, prices were pretty good, considering. They also have a jewellery store onsite, where I stocked up on some more Pandora charms!
We loved the fact that the resort was right on the beach -- we enjoyed watching the college kids playing beach volleyball ;-) The soft, white sand was cleaned up every morning, as was the pool. Unfortunately the pool water was too cold for me, and the ocean was really cold! But that's to be expected this time of year.
The food was quite good--the buffet had something different at every meal, every day, which offered a nice variety.
We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel -- it cost $18 + $1/bag, so $20 flat. It only took about 10 minutes. We also took a bus (for a whopping $1.25) downtown, also about 10 minutes from the hotel, so the location is perfect.
All in all -- we loved Breezes Bahamas! We'll definitely be going back :)
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The first and only Super-Inclusive resort in The Bahamas situated on almost 1000-ft of the powder-white sands of Cable Beach, the island's best beach. No Hidden Taxes or Fees or surcharges - Wi-Fi in bedrooms and lobby also included - virtually everything you can eat, drink & do included one simple, upfront price - with no tipping allowed. Tennis, snorkeling, rock climbing, sailing, flying trapeze! Three restaurants plus a beach grill. Four bars. Nightclub and piano bar. All included! ... more less

"Welcome to the graveyard, Zynga," Cramer concluded. In Closing... In his closing comments, Cramer said Facebook ( FB) delivered horrible numbers with decelerating revenue. Starbucks ( SBUX) also delivered slowing sales, but Cramer said that doesn't mean the company is down and out forever. Finally, Amazon.com ( AMZN) delivered a great quarter and remains his favorite out of the three companies. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.

It's ScuttleButton Time!
I guess you all heard the bad news: Rand Paul says he is opposed to showing people ScuttleButton puzzles at luncheon counters in Woolworth.
Rather than get angry, and pull out my rifle that I last used in Vietnam when I served with Richard Blumenthal, I decided that the best way to deal with it is just publish the new puzzle.
And here's how to play: Every Friday on this blog, there are buttons displayed vertically. Simply take one word (or concept) per button, add 'em up, and, hopefully, you will arrive at a famous name or a familiar expression. (And seriously, by familiar, I mean it's something that more than one person on Earth would recognize.)
And don't focus on a political answer. It doesn't necessarily have to be political, though it could be.
A correct answer chosen at random gets his or her name in this column. Personally, I can't imagine a greater honor.
You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer. Send submission (plus your name and city/state — you won't win without that) to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Click here for the answer to last week's puzzle.
And, by adding your name to the Political Junkie mailing list, you will be the first on your block to receive notice when a new puzzle goes up on the blog. Sign up at email@example.com. Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new Junkie post goes up by clicking here.
Good luck, and happy Friday!
P.S. I usually reveal the answer — and announce the winner — in this space on Tuesdays. So you should get your answer in by then.

I am currently working with Python and have been confused over the fact that functions are listed in
__main__. I have been looking over multiple python scripts to try to find a common theme as to what functions warrant a place in
__main__, but to no avail. Here I have a sample of my own code.
firstfunction and
anotherfunction are the only two functions in my code.
def main(argv):
if len(argv) < 3 or len(argv) > 3:
print """"Please set to:
metisfinal.main(metisfinal.py, firstinput, secondinput)""""
firstinput = argv[1]
secondinput = argv[2]
firstfunction(firstinput, dictionary)
anotherfunction(list, secondinput)
if __name__ == "__main__":
(I think) I know that the arguments and
__main__ call are correct, but
firstfunction and
anotherfunction always return errors (because their arguments are not globally defined). I'm positive that this is arising from a faulty understanding of
__main__, because all the other examples I've looked at, basically set up
__main__ in the same manner.
What constitutes listing a specific function in
__main__? I have stumbled over some Python code that has upwards of 30 functions within it, but the programmer only listed 2 of those functions in
__main__. Likewise, sometimes a code will have classes in the main argument, like this one (
Project is earlier defined as an object class):
def main(argv):
filename = ""
outputfilename = ""
p = Project(filename, outputfilename, subdomainNames)
if __name__ == "__main__":
Conceptually, I can't understand why all the functions aren't listed... don't all of them need to be run or is
__main__ simply initializing something?
Am I looking at atypical code? What key concepts of
__main__ am I missing? And once I do find what functions to put into
__main__, is there a specific way to format them?

I haven't read any reviews of Super Mario 3D Land yet so I don't know how widely recognized the game has been for its use of 3D. I'd just like to say that once again a Mario game shows us how to properly apply a new technology to game design.
Super Mario Bros. and its popularity probably had a huge effect on sidescrollers for the next decade after its release. Super Mario 64 was one of the first games that showed how 3D platformers, and in some ways 3D games, where done. Super Mario 3D Land is the first media I've ever seen where stereoscopic 3D actually felt like an important element.
You don't need 3D to play the game but it does make the game look and feel a lot better. There are levels that were designed specifically with the 3D effect in mind in regards to layout in regards to the camera angles (a lot of the game is isometric actually). There have been multiple parts where the 3D effect got an audible "whoah" out of me.
Now, like a lot of people, I don't really care much for 3D. The only two movies I've ever seen in 3D are Tron Legacy and Avatar. In Avatar I admit the movie made some decent use of 3D and it technically made the movie look better, but I could live without it. I was perfectly fine going back to watching the movie in 2D. I actively choose to play Super Mario 3D Land in 3D.
I think there's some the very "proper" about starting out a Nintnedo platform's lifespan with a Mario game, which is partly why I held out until 3D Land's release to get a 3DS. It's got me actively thinking about how future 3DS games will utilize the 3D.
One concept for instance that instantly popped into my mind was Metroid Prime. I think a title in the style of the Gamecube games would be very feasible on the 3DS and the visor thing could look really nice in 3D. The only thing you're missing is the second analog stick which on the Gamecube games was only used to change visors. Of course it's still a total tragedy that we never got a new 2D Metroid since the DS came out.
I'm still not 100% convinced that 3D is gonna become a necessary addition to gaming (or even media in general). I think the 3DS is gonna become popular more as simply "Super Nintendo DS" than as a 3D system – it's pretty amazing that 3D Land looks as good as Mario Galaxy on a handheld. That said, 3D Land has convinced me that 3D can be pretty cool if a game is designed around it.
- Currently my GameFly Que includes Ace Combat, Sonic Generations, and Shinobi all on the 3DS. Hopefully Generations will be good enough for me to end up with a good Mario game and a good Sonicgame on one platform.
- I just started reading stuff about Animorphs and whoah. I totally passed it up back in the day but it sounds like it was pretty dark for kids' books. I just read Strange Matter.

This is one of those cartoons that a generation grow up with. For example, it was the first Western cartoon to be shown in Russia, and it got great feedback (check Wiki for this).The show is about shoes. And people. Basically, the author gave certain shoes, depending on what they were, corresponding personalities. A clown shoe is a clown, a army boot is a sergeant, and so forth.But all that doesn't matter for the main audience of this show. I watched this as a little kid (it was shown around the 90's in my country), and believe me, everybody still remembers it. It was short, sweet and funny. It had a big heart.Unfortunately, only 26 episodes were made, but if you can find them on DVD, or play them off youtube, your kid would love them.

Tasty bread flour
Posted by Reviewer1141765 on Jul 22, 2009
Bob's Red Mill flour is excellent to bake bread and tastes delicious. We now mix it with white flour as well to bake bread for our infant and he loves it too. Bread has a good consistency (not spongy).

great for baking bread!

I feel like I use so many Bob's Red Mill products these days. I really like their products. I use this flour primarily for making bread. This flour has all the fiber I want out of my bread (at least 4 grams per serving). I've been substituting 1/2 a cup of it with their coconut flour for even more fiber and some delicious results.

Great product, no issues
Great flour

I use this for most everything, but especially bread making. The texture is fine enough to use in cookies etc as well.

Sucking on baby's pacifier may cut allergy risks
A recent study from Pediatrics suggests that parents who suck on their child's pacifier to clean it may reduce the risk of allergies.
After studying 184 Swedish babies, researchers concluded that parents' saliva changes the "microbiome," or collection of bacteria that is found on the pacifier. Allergic reactions such as eczema and asthma dramatically decreased in babies from the age of 18-36 months who received the sucked-on pacifier.
According to National Public Radio, such findings have ignited a discussion on whether the lack of exposure to microbes early in life can affect a child's health. Elizabeth Matsui of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center expressed to NPR that children may be growing up too clean.
"We are much less likely to be exposed to organisms in water — parasites, for example — so the idea is there is much less for the immune system to fight off," Matsui said. "So it starts reacting to things that perhaps it should be ignoring."
Dr. Amal Assa'ad of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center told MedPage Today "that we have to let nature play out a little bit and not be too clean and not be forming artificial barriers in the connection between the mother and the infant and the parents and the infant."
"We have to at some point reach a balance where we're making sure we're not predisposing (infants) to infections at the same time (we're making) sure we're giving them what they were naturally expected to get from the parents so we end up with a balanced body that doesn't veer towards allergies and doesn't veer towards serious infections and harm," said Assa'ad, who was not involved in the study.
Parents and other medical authorities have had mixed reactions on the new study. Dr. Daliah Wachs tweeted: "Study recommends to suck on your child's pacifier to cut allergy risk. Uh, that's what Claritin is for."

Goodland Life By Barry Gwinn This column has chronicled an almost monthly series of debilitating floodings on Goodland Road, the community's only access road. In six out of the last 11 months, beginning in August, 2015, the flooding prevented many from driving on the hubcap deep Gulf waters covering large portions of the road. Engineering reports commissioned by the City of Marco Island (CMI) confirmed that the road was being undermined by the constant flooding, and that it needed to be rebuilt and raised 2 to 3 feet. CMI addressed the problem by patching potholes and delaying remedial action. Appeals ... Read More »
Freedom Fountain's Latest Improvements
Submitted The Freedom Fountain in Veterans Community Park has received a facelift that further enhances and preserves its beauty. Commemorative inscriptions on the black granite panels gracing the crown jewel of Marco Island's veterans' memorial recently received a coat of gold sealant, adding luster to its personalized messages honoring America's military service men and women. At the same time, the bronze, 9-foot tall, in-flight American eagle that crowns the 10-foot-tall fountain was cleaned and treated with clear-coat sealant. The work was performed by Chris Holloway, owner of Marco Island Painting, and his staff. Lee Rubenstein, chairman of the all-volunteer Veterans ... Read More »

Last month Ryan qualified for the U.S. Team Trials Regatta in San Francisco, California, an invitation only event. Garraty is a second-generation sailor. You could say it's in his blood. His father Robert Garraty got his start in sailing when he was just a teen; he would eventually go ... Read More »
MIA's Kirby Rients Makes English Fun
By Barry Gwinn Kirby Rients is a much traveled English teacher and has been with Marco Island Academy (MIA) since its inception in 2011. Although MIA specializes in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) curriculum, the school also thinks it is important that students are well grounded in the humanities. It didn't take them long to recognize Rients' contributions in this area. In 2012, Mr. Rients was given MIA's prestigious Teacher-of-the-Year award. On March 4th of this year, Rients and two other MIA teachers (who will be separately featured in later editions of Coastal Breeze News) were personally awarded Governor ... Read More »

Bocce 2016
By Joan Kelly Bocce took over the Isles of Capri four days a week and on weekends when the team competition took to the court. Red and blue balls beat up the poor little white ball, playing in rain or shine, wind or calm, heat or cold. The measuring tape came out, as balls were close. At times there was no winner with equal distance between balls. Seventeen teams with at least four members played two games a week during the eight-week season. They were in two divisions, A and B, and only played within their division until the playoff. ... Read More »

Team Effort Makes a Good Burn
By Samantha Husted firstname.lastname@example.com Most often when we hear about wildfires it is in connection to the great harm that they cause; Homes destroyed, people and animals injured or killed, and beautiful trees forever erased from nature. Yet fires are actually beneficial to Florida's landscape, and play an integral role in its ecosystems. Periodic fire tends to favor understory species that require a more open habitat. A mosaic of burned and unburned areas tends to maximize an "edge effect" which promotes a large and varied wildlife population. Deer, dove, quail, and turkey are game species that benefit from prescribed fire in ... Read More »
The 9-1-1 on Marco's Emergency Service
By Maureen Chodaba On March 15, 2016 many voters in Collier County will be asked to vote in a "straw ballot" regarding the future of their EMS and transport services. You may ask, and rightfully so, just what is a straw ballot? Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a straw ballot, also known as a "straw vote" or "straw poll" as "an unofficial vote taken (as at a chance gathering) to indicate the relative strength of opposing candidates or issues." Wikipedia.com goes on to say that the idiom's origin "may allude to a straw (thin plant stalk) held up to see in what ... Read More »
The House of Horrors – Part 1
By Carol Glassman This is not just one of those spooky fantasies about a haunted house where terrible things happen and you are afraid to walk around; it's a true story about a rather nice house, where terrible things happened, enough to make you walk out, heartbroken. The story isn't really unusual, nor is it unfortunately, unique. Almost everyone who has suffered through home repairs probably has a similar tale of woe, but as you follow this one over the weeks, you may understand why I felt it needed to be shared with the public as a "consumer beware" saga. ...

Winds Favor Yacht Club Regatta
Submitted As last Saturday's weather dawned crisp and clear, ten of Southwest Florida's fastest sailboats gathered off the Marriott Marco Island beach to compete in the Marco Island Yacht Club's Annual Winter Sailing Regatta. Although the Gulf of Mexico was smooth as glass, race officials knew that good breezes were on the way, coming in from the northwest. Officials delayed the start by about 30 minutes so that by the time the first race got underway, winds were steady at eight to ten knots from the north/northwest. As racing continued during the day, winds steadily got stronger from the north, ... Read More »
Fishing the 10,000 Islands in February

While February will have most of the same temperatures as January when it comes to air and water, we're typically not seeing the same strong wind gusts and cold fronts we experience in January, which can make for a really comfortable fishing experience and day out on the water. The air temperature can be expected to reach around 52-76 degrees Fahrenheit, while the water ... Read More »
Island Valentines
MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT Laurie Kasperbauer firstname.lastname@example.com The holiday of love and romance is upon us.

It's a very special time for me for a couple of reasons. First, it's my birthday.

By Kevin Kubat Conservancy Volunteer It's a warm, sunny day. You decide to visit Tigertail Beach, and when you get there, it's low tide. You look to the north, toward Hideaway Beach, and you see what appears to be a red carpet covering the sands. A special sort of carpet, as it's constantly in motion. As you get closer, the carpet suddenly disappears, and you realize that the illusion of a carpet was created by the massing of hundreds of fiddler crabs which have scurried into their burrows as you approached. If you remain very still, the crabs will eventually ... Read More »
What's New in January
COASTAL COMMENTS Donna Fiala What a new way to start a new year – with wind forces like we've never seen in January! AND with gasoline prices we haven't seen in years…on Saturday we had $1.75 along the Collier Boulevard/951 corridor. One of the same gas stations about two miles away had prices at $1.85 on U.S. 41 E, and further on down the prices continued to climb. This is a good place to be when buying gasoline, that's for sure. It will be interesting to see how the prices will run when the WaWa gas station is built at Price ... Read More »
Prescribed Fires Made Possible Through Partnership
COASTAL CONNECTIONS Renee Wilson firstname.lastname@example.com Prescribed fire is an important tool for natural resource managers in Southwest Florida. Within Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, thousands of acres of fire-dependent habitat are managed each year with the help of regional partners and crews from the Prescribed Fire Training Center (PFTC) in Tallahassee. "We rely on partners for a lot of what we do here," said Resource Management Coordinator Jeff Carter, who is responsible for overseeing the reserve's prescribed fire program. Rookery Bay Reserve staff coordinate burn activities with the Florida Forestry Service, and work with partnering land managers and local ... Read More »
Improvements at Freedom Fountain
Submitted Visitors have no doubt noticed the most recent improvements made at the Freedom Fountain in Veterans Community Park. The walkway leading to the fountain is now accented on either side by rows of variegated arboricola, an easily maintained, tropical evergreen shrub with bright yellow and green leaves. The drought-resistant plants, 90 in all, were installed recently by Affordable Landscaping, of Marco Island, which donated its labor for the $2,000 project, which includes the installation of 12 sprinklers, which will use reclaimed water to irrigate the plants. Funding for the work was provided by the Veterans Memorial Fundraising Committee, which ... Read More »

Hills No Problem for Marco 5 Mile Run Winners
By Roger LaLonde firstname.lastname@example.com The Marco 5 mile Hill Run gave way to winners who experience running hilly traverses in their home states. Jesse Armbruster of Columbus, Ohio and Jennifer Rapaport of Medford, Massachusetts attacked the 17 hilly sections of the race, fighting chilly weather and a strong head wind to the finish line to win easily.

It was 51 seconds faster than second-place finisher Adam Cholewin of Fort Bragg, NC (28:37.5) and more than two minutes faster than third-place finisher Nick Kamen of Naples (30.05.6).
