Art in Seach of a Narrative
I want to give a gigantic thank you to Lyndsey Venrick of Pin + Needle. Lyndsey stitched the cover and the award ribbons that announce each new category section inside the magazine. I’m always impressed with her, but I’ve got to say, this time she nailed it! It’s exactly what we wanted! Lyndsey is an artist from Winter Haven and quit her full-time job to do what she loves. You can find her on IG and FB @pin.needle.shop or on Etsy @thepinandneedle. She has items ready to ship or she can help you create something custom. Thank you, Lyndsey! We love it!
10.10.20
I’d also like to thank The Treasure House Antiques in Winter Haven. Susan Barreiro bent over backward for us, and we really appreciate it! She allowed us to come in before business hours to set up and take photos. All of the objects used on the pages announcing the categories are items from The Treasure House. If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor and visit! (Give yourself a lot of time, there’s so much to look at!) I’d also like to thank my daughter, Ella for helping me style each photo. I love that I got a chance to work with her on a project and she was a huge, huge help.

LOCAL NEWS WORDS Barry Friedman/LkldNow.com
SCHOOL RESUMES AS CORONAVIRUS NEW CASES DECLINED
VOTERS CHOOSE CONSENSUS BUILDERS FOR SCHOOL BOARD; FRANKLIN GETS GOP NOD
LISTEN FOR LAKELAND STRINGS ON LATEST TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM
AMAZON OPENS AIR CARGO CENTER, PLANS SECOND WAREHOUSE
CONFUSION OVER MAIL BALLOTS CAN BE FIXED FOR NEXT ELECTION
Public school students in Polk returned to classrooms on Aug. 24 for the first time since schools were abandoned in March as the coronavirus started spreading here. Just over half of students opted for distance learning, but many students and their parents experienced technical issues in the first days. The fall semester started as Polk saw declines in the rate of new COVID-19 cases following a peak in mid-July and as the rate of tests coming back positive had dropped below 10 percent for two weeks.
Polk County voters opted for consensus builders over reformers for the School Board last month when they favored William Allen over first-term incumbent Billy Townsend and returned Lori Cunningham to a fifth term over 10-year educator Anita Carson. In other elections, Neil Combee will return to the County Commission after an eight-year absence and Lori Edwards won a sixth term as Supervisor of Elections. Lakeland City Commissioner Scott Franklin succeeded in his Republican primary challenge against first-term U.S. Rep. Ross Spano and now faces Democratic primary winner Alan Cohn in the Nov. 3 general election.
There’s a little bit of Lakeland on Taylor Swift’s new chart-topping, indie-folk album, “folklore.” The mysterious-then-soaring strings on “august” were recorded at downtown’s Sound House Studios. Indeed, the project itself was mysterious. Session musician Bobby Hawk and the studio’s Jon Gautier and Mike Williams knew only that the string parts were requested by famed producer Jack Antonoff for something he called Project X. They didn’t learn what Project X was until just before Swift dropped her unexpected eighth studio album, which takes her on a more-alternative, less-pop direction with songs inspired by coronavirus isolation.
Lakeland’s badge as a distribution hub has been burnished by the opening of Amazon’s air cargo center at Lakeland Linder Airport and the August announcement of a new Amazon warehouse on State Road 33 north of I-4. Amazon is leasing the 711,000-square-foot Dragstrip Logistics Center in the fast-growing distribution corridor along SR 33 east of town. Amazon helped boost development of a distribution corridor west of town when it opened a million-square-foot warehouse along County Line Road in 2015. The new air cargo facility employs 800 people, the airport director told city commissioners in August.
A lot of people who voted by mail were puzzled or angry the night that results of the August primary election were released. The Polk Supervisor of Elections website showed that all mail ballots had been counted; but when people checked their own ballot, a different part of the website indicated it had not been counted yet. The company that supplies the technology behind the elections office website told LkldNow that mail ballots were indeed all counted. However, under default settings, mail-in ballot notifications were set to switch from “received” to “counted” at midnight after the count was completed. For future elections, the elections office can change the setting so that “counted” will show as soon as the results are released.
REHAB HOSPITAL PLANNED FOR OAKBRIDGE AREA
MASK REQUIREMENT GETS ANOTHER VOTE SEPTEMBER 8
LAKELAND MAGIC GET NEW PRESIDENT AS WILKES PROMOTED
CITY SELECTS ORLANDO COMPANY FOR BROADBAND
MASKS, MISSILE PROPEL LAKELAND INTO NATIONAL NEWS
Plans are moving ahead to build a rehabilitation hospital off Harden Boulevard, across from the Lakeside Village main entrance. For years, a two-story office building had been envisioned for the vacant 8.93-acre site, but then Encompass Health of Birmingham sought land-use changes for a hospital. So far, they have gotten the OK of the planning board and still need approval from the City Commission. First-phase plans call for 50 beds, with a possible later expansion to 90. Rehabilitation hospitals provide intensive therapy to more medically complex patients than provided at nursing homes.
As September starts, Lakeland’s mask regulations are still in effect. Masks are required in indoor spaces outside the home where social distancing can’t be maintained. City commissioners decide on Sept. 8 whether to extend the mask requirement again. Polk County’s chief public health officer said last month that the initial mask mandate in early July helped to first flatten the rise in new COVID-19 cases in Lakeland and then to reduce the numbers. Both the rate of average new daily cases and the proportion of tests coming back positive declined during August.
Shelly Wilkes, who has been the president and public face of the Lakeland Magic since the NBA G-League team came to town in 2017, got a promotion. She’s going to be a senior vice president for the parent Orlando Magic organization. The Lakeland team’s new leader is Hans Steinbrenner, 28, who has plenty of development-league experience. He worked for three G League teams before becoming vice president of the Magic last November. Wilkes speaks highly of her successor. “He’s a great communicator and he understands the business,” she said.
City of Lakeland managers will negotiate with Summit Broadband of Orlando to provide high-speed Internet services to residents and businesses. While Summit plans to build on the city’s fiber-optic network, the company said it will need no capital outlay from the city, and it predicts a revenue share could bring the city $1 million a year in four years. One potential hangup: Summit assumed the city had higher capacity in its dark fiber. City commissioners selected Summit from a list of eight companies that submitted proposals for providing broadband service.
There’s no telling what will propel Lakeland into the national news spotlight. The latest exhibits involve masks and a missile. First The New York Times and NBC Nightly News took note of owner Chris McArthur’s work to train his staff at Black & Brew Coffee House & Bistro in de-escalation techniques in case customers get riled up about having to wear face coverings. Then we hit the news again when a live, unarmed French missile was discovered in a shipment to Draken International at Lakeland Linder Airport. The weapon was secured by an ordnance team from MacDill Air Force Base, who took it back to the Tampa base for final disposal.

WE’VE BEEN BUSY TRANSFORMING TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT. At the heart of the matter is our new STEMI program. Thanks to an upgrade and renovation to our cardiac cath lab, we’ve got a new process to quickly treat STEMIs, one of the most severe types of heart attack. The best way to deal with STEMIs is by performing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 90 minutes of first receiving care from emergency medical personnel. Not all hospitals have this capability. But now Bartow Regional Medical Center does. And hopefully you’ll never have to see how busy we’ve been. Our priority is the health and well-being of our communities, and keeping patients, team members and physicians safe. And we’re taking proactive steps to do just that; including screening everyone who enters our facilities for COVID-19 symptoms, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all treatment rooms and waiting areas on a consistent basis, encouraging social distancing and advocating for appropriate use of personal protective equipment.

Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned 2 ounces bourbon Ÿ ounce toasted marshmallow syrup (recipe below) 2 dashes bitters Toasted marshmallow syrup: 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 8 toasted marshmallows To make syrup: Add sugar, water and toasted marshmallows to a small saucepan. Simmer until sugar and marshmallows have dissolved. Remove from heat, strain and allow to cool completely. Spoon off any marshmallow solids. To make drink: Add bourbon, syrup and bitters to a glass with ice. Stir. Strain into a glass with ice. Garnish with toasty marshmallow and orange peel. This drink is a nod to our Best Of issue and our camping theme. According to Drinks International, The Old Fashioned was the best selling classic cocktail of 2019. We’ve taken this American favorite and switched it up with marshmallow simple syrup instead of the traditional sugar cube. Recipe adapted from VinePair. Enjoy! Please drink responsibly, 21+.
