LRC MANAGER’S REPORT
Unfortunately, the virus is now at full steam and the infection and death rate is growing daily. Please help us to keep safe by wearing masks when inside or when social distancing is difficult when outside. The Finance Committee has begun to look at long term planning, especially around capital expenditures. As our community ages, the costs for maintenance of lakes and resurfacing of roads are significant. This planning needs to take place so that it can be incorporated into our 2021 budget. There are going to be financial challenges going forward. There has been a lot of interest, as well as rumors, related to the initiation of a new LMA committee. There is a large area of open space just off of Landings Boulevard which is owned by LMA but is restricted by the county for use as a park. A walkway between two houses leads to this gated area which is open during daylight hours for resident use. The new committee will be exploring ways to make this beautiful area of greater benefit to all residents. If you haven’t visited the area, I encourage you to take a stroll through the park. Over the next few months, the committee will explore, with input from the community,
what potential additional uses would be appropriate, given zoning and other restrictions. It is not our intention to develop the property commercially but rather, open it up to more potential use by residents. Henry Rhodes is chair of the committee. If you haven’t already received it, look for a mailing from LMA which will give you additional information about our website and how to take advantage of its many features. The most current directory of residents, calendar of events, and helpful materials are posted. In ad-
dition, there are blogs, vendor recommendations, LMA minutes, information about each association and links to the current and back copies of the Eagle. Do check it out. One of the greatest assets of our community are the winding, narrow roads and lush vegetation. However, we do not have sidewalks, so we encourage walkers to be safe and drivers to keep to or below speed limits. Our radar is moved around the Landings and we have issued warning letters to several residents and vendors. We do not want to have to suspend additional entry decals of residents who speed or to prohibit speeding vendors access to The Landings. We are working on a way to address the erosion by the Gazebo at the end of the nature trail. It has caused water, especially at
high tide, to make it difficult to ascend the steps to the building. Your board has been meeting throughout the summer on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm by Zoom. If you would like to join the meeting remotely, contact Dick Bayles for the link to our upcoming meeting. We are getting close to the most active storm months, so please be prepared. There are emergency preparation guides available on our website, TheLandingsofSarasota.com Your Board has been elected to help make our community a great place to live. We are also working to retain and improve financial property values for current and future residents. We encourage your input and want to make sure we stay abreast of any concerns you may have that we should address.

The Fascinating Landings Heritage (Part 1 of a 3-Part Series) Exploring the pre-history of The Landings begins with John McCarthy, Selby Gardens, V.P. of Historic Spanish Point, who told us, at the Landings Free College a few years ago; the first resident in The Landings was Chandler Younge, an early boat builder. He lived just north of Philippi Creek, which was named for an early Cuban fisherman whose fishing rancho was a few miles north of here. Chandler Younge was building boats right on these grounds. At t h at t i me, h e a nd t h e pioneers who followed him could walk straight across the thick
mangroves from the Landings Gazebo area to reach Siesta Key. He could circle round and also walk from Phillipi Creek Oyster Bar, (which were orange groves at the time) back home through The Landings using a trail now named “Landings Boulevard.” A rou nd 1883, t here wa s no downtown area. Life was closer to this neck of the woods. The Landings has a connection with Spanish Point, through Mrs. Potter (Bertha) Palmer, of Chicago who has been called, t h e “f o u n d i n g m o t h e r ” o f Sarasota. When the locomotive was built as far as Sarasota, Mrs. Palmer arrived and made her summer home in Spanish Point, just south of here. She named it “T he Oa k s.” From 1910 to 1918 she and her two sons, Potter and Honore, set up a homestead there. Honore a nd h is wi fe Grace Br ow n Po t t e r built their home here in The La nd i ng s. T he n a m e h e g ave h is home was “I m mok a ke e” wh ich means “my home” in the Seminole Indian language. Access to their home is
through what is now the main gate, left at Peregrine Point Dr., past the two beautiful B a nya n t r e e s, a n d fronts on the bay near the cul-de-sac. Disaster struck i n Novemb er 1921, as t he Im mok a lee home was destroyed by fire. Honore took over the caretaker’s home, remodeling and expanding it, probably starting something of a Landings tradition! He built a new residence in 1939 in Immokakee, FL, south of here. The presence of American bald eagles landing here resulted i n t h e n a m e “T h e L a nd i ng s “ coi ne d b y Ro b e r t Mo r r i s, RAMAR Group Development. In the late 1970’s, The Landings went on to b e come one of t he most desirable communities in Sarasota known for its exclusive heritage, elegance and envied location with its glorious natural foliage. It’s just magic walking over the shells carpeting our Nature Tr a i l a n d s t o p p i n g o n t h e footbridge taking in a view of
nature’s tranquility. Walking by native ferns, trees, palms, air plants and spotting many varieties of birds on the way to the Gazebo with an excellent view of a wilderness we now call Siesta Key. Thanks to Elizabeth Malden providing photos from Erwin Star’s article on the Landings Web site.

Blooming This Month: Vinca
Vinca is a genus of flowering p l a n t s i n t h e Ap o c y n a c e a e fa m i ly. T hei r com mon n a me is Periwin k le. These drought -tolerant bedding plants thrives in any soil t ype as long as it drains well, and can grow in full sun or partial shade. These plants come in multiple colors including, pink, purple, white, red, and lavender. This compact plant has a height of 15” a n d a s p r e a d o f a b o u t
15” wide. The pinwheel-shaped blossoms often have a different color in the center of the bloom. An added bonus is that they are a nectar plant for different types of butterflies and bees. Currently in bloom in the Butterfly Garden at Sarasota Garden Club, 1131 Blvd. of the Arts, in Sarasota. A real bonus is “no charge to walk through our gardens”.

Heading the Hunt
LMA Meeting Notes By Trebor Britt LMA President Norm Olshansky began Zoom meeting by an nouncing the following during his president’s report: • A n appeal was made to wear masks when social distancing is difficult. • D e c i s io n s s e e m e d t o b e rushed in the meeting last mont h w it hout comple te in formation. Particularly, decisions were made about t h e r o a d s o n Pe r e g r i n e without costs and complete information. The issue will be revisited under Old Business. • Board members were reminded to comply with the general standards established by Florida statutes for Boards of Directors. In particular, directors are obligated to share all the information they have regarding a particular issue. • T h e Fi n a n c e C o m m it t e e has now begun long-term planning. The challenge of maintaining roads and lakes and their costs are increasing as they age. • C oncerns have been raised t h at A rg u s i s b e h i nd i n providing timely statements and invoices from vendors. The Finance Committee will be working with Steve and Argus accounting to address t he s e i s sue s. O ne of t he most important roles of the LMA Board is to be fiscally responsible.
FINANCE REPORT Treasurer Dick Bayles reported f i n a nce s t h roug h May a re basically on budget for the year. Looking long range, expenses are expected to be substantial for road resurfacing, gates and erosion issues on lakes. Once beds are in for the Paragon Point Project, the Committee will better be able to estimate costs for resurfacing roads. Moving forward, the Committee is going to increase focus on collecting nearly $60,000 in receivables.
MANAGERS REPORT L a nd i ng ’s M a n ag e r, St eve Brocken sh i re reported t he following: • Grass cutting issues persist around Inspired Living and Rooms To Go. The County will be notified about grass cut t i ng issues around Phillippi Park.
• T he website access postcard has been mailed out using first class mail. Thus, the card would be forwarded, if needed. • S teve escorted a contractor looking at options to improve i s s ue s a long t h e Nat u r e Trail and the steps of the Gazebo. The contractor will be proposing multiple options and costs soon. • M inutes of past meetings are being provided to the committee that is compiling p a s t m o t i o n s t o up d a t e LMA policy and procedures documents.
ROADS For a third consecutive meeting, Board members briefly discussed the division of the Long Island on Peregrine Point Drive. Some new information was shared along with the wisdom of deciding before costs were known. No new motion was made or vote taken after the discussion.
SAFETY AND SECURITY C h a i r m a n M ic h ael K nupp r e ce ive d con f i r m at ion f r om L a n d i n g ’s M a n a g e r S t e v e Bro c ke n sh i r e t h at a l l sp e ed warning letters were mailed out. He stated they go out the day he receives them. Knupp reported the Committee is receiving bids regarding entry gates. He expects all requested bids to be in by the end of the summer. The Committee recommended the Board approve a raise of approximately 4% for the current Landing’s guard staff contract. Knupp noted, until last year, the guard staff had not had a pay raise in four years. A motion was made that the Board approve an increase in pay for the guards sub je ct to t he budget a nd based on the budget’s ability to accommodate. The motion passed unanimously.
LANDSCAPING L a n d s c a p i n g C h a i r, Pa u l Weiner reported responsibility for landscaping the area between the South Gate and Phillippi R o a d r e m a i n s u n c l e a r. H e suggested a survey would be needed to determine whether the responsibility for that area belongs to LMA or Landings South V. LMA President Norm Olshansky added the an nual ex p e n s e of m a i nt a i n i ng t he

property in question could be around $1,800. During the lengthy discussion, a resident expressed the view that because that area was near an entryway, it affects the image of the entire development a n d s h o u l d b e t h e L M A‘s responsibility to maintain. Some Board members were concerned that this decision would be setting a precedent. A motion was made that given the unique situation of Landings South V, the Gate and the wall, and without setting a precedent for other associations or properties, the LMA continue to maintain the property at their expense. The motion passed with 2 “no” votes.
PROPERTY WASHOUT S a r a s o t a C o u n t y Wa t e r Department caused the wash out of a portion of a resident’s property recently. Though work has beg un, remai n i ng issues include replacing a curb, a Miami drain and some road finishing issues. Orders to complete the work have been filed.

John Albert Hargreaves August 4, 1932 – June 8, 2020
John Albert (“Jack”) Hargreaves died at age 87 on June 8, 2020. Jack was born on August 4, 1932, in Willimantic, Connecticut, to Edna Vanderman Hargreaves and John Albert Hargreaves. Jack graduated in 1950 from Willimantic High School, where he played on the football team and was inducted into the Boy Scouts of America’s prestigious Order of the Arrow. Jack graduated from Amherst College in 1954 and was active in alumni activities, especially with the Amherst Association on Martha’s Vineyard. He earned an MBA from the University of Hartford in 1968 while raising a family and holding down a full-time job. After his g raduation from Amherst, Jack joined the Army and served from 1954 to 1956. (Two days before he died, he could still recite his serial number.) Jack was posted to Germany, but his departure was delayed by the illness of his father. By the time he arrived in Germany, his unit had already deployed, and it was too late to rejoin. Jack reported to the local personnel office for assignment and quickly recognized the officer, who had
John Albert Hargreaves
caddied at the same country club in Connecticut where Jack had worked a summer job as a lifeguard. Wanting to help a buddy, the officer suggested an assignment in Munich, changing Jack’s life forever. Jack worked in the office of personnel, traveling to U.S. bases across Europe to administer personnel assessments. He took advantage of everything Munich had to offer, from attending classes at the University of Munich to hoisting an occasional beer at the Hofbrauhaus. A co-worker introduced Jack to Ute Ziemer, a young German woman who worked for the Army as an interpreter. Ute, who had previously declined invitations by several American soldiers who invited her to bars, said yes to Jack when he invited her to an opera.
Jack and Ute’s courtship included frequent trips to the opera and ski outings in the Alps. By the time Jack was discharged from the Army in 1956, they were engaged. Jack returned to Connecticut after completing his military service, and his fiancée followed shortly. Jack and Ute were married on July 13, 1957, in Storrs, Connecticut, and remained married for 61 years until Ute’s death in 2018. After leaving the Army, Jack took a job with The Stanley Works and remained with the company for 28 years. Through The Stanley Works, Jack, Ute, and their three children moved to Weatogue, Connecticut; Scituate, Massachusetts; Plainville, Connecticut; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Sao Paulo, Brazil, where Jack ran Stanley’s Brazil subsidiary; Windsor, England, where Jack ran the company’s Europe and Middle East operations; and back to Connecticut. Jack eventually left The Stanley Works and joined Walter Kidde, moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and eventually returning with Ute to Brazil for two more years before retiring in 1993 to Sarasota,
Florida. Jack was a competitive and enthusiastic athlete throughout his life, playing football in high school and college and, in his adult life, enjoying squash, tennis, and golf. He served multiple terms as a town councilman in Plainville, Connecticut, including a term as council president, and volunteered for many years as treasurer of the East Chop Tennis Club on Martha’s Vineyard. Jack was an accomplished handyman and spent countless hours maintaining and restoring the beloved summer home he and Ute bought on Martha’s Vineyard in 1978. He particularly loved doing stonework, including building drystone walls and laying flagstone. He eventually learned and was struck by the fact that a relative from his past had been a stonemason. He was an excellent cook and enjoyed nothing so much as gathering his family for dinners at the Vineyard house. An avid student of history, Jack read voraciously (in both English and German) and also researched the genealogies of both his and Ute’s families.He took pride in the
fact that his father immigrated at age 16 to the United States from Yorkshire, England, and that his mother could trace her roots in Connecticut to before 1860. Jack fondly recalled growing up at 3 Turner Street in Willimantic, in a house which still stands today. He also vividly remembered the 1938 New England Hurricane, one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to strike the region. Between Jack’s extensive reading and his unfailing recall, he always had facts and details at his command. He used them to debate politics and to regale his family and friends with stories of historic figures and events. His friends laughed that they could rarely get a word in edgewise when Jack was holding forth. Jack is the beloved father of son John, daughters Christine Hargreaves Ewing and Anne Hargreaves Corley, grandfather of Heather Ewing Lane, Celeste Ewing, and John Corley; and great-grandfather of Ava, Kyla, Ella, and Michael Lane. He was adored by his family and will be sorely missed. Memorial contributions may be made to Camp Jabberwocky of Martha’s Vineyard.

Florida’s Second District Court of Appeals upheld the previous ruling by the 12th Judicial Circuit Court judge that Sarasota County Commission did not violate any county regulations or procedures i n g re en l ig ht i ng t he Sie st a Promenade mixed-use project. T h e t h r e e app e l l at e cou r t judges’ unanimous decision came after hearing oral arguments on June 25th. The attorney (Ralf Brookes of Cape Coral) for Sura Kochman, the plaintiff in the case, challenged two key points in the oral arguments on June 25th: 1) county staff and the commission did not follow the county’s regulations for approval of a Critical Area Plan (CAP) for Siesta Promenade. If staff and the Board had followed the procedure outlined in the CAP regulations, Brookes said, then a separate public hearing would have been held — as required by those regulations — to consider the effects on all the areas surrounding the site. Among t hose a reas, he said would have been Siesta Key, for which Stickney Point Road is the south access, and 2) the county’s requirement for an applicant to apply for Special Exceptions in regard to increased height and density in a project. Brookes told the judges, Siesta 41 Associates LLC — the Benderson affiliate that is the developer of Siesta
Promenade — did not seek those Special Exceptions, even though “these are very clear procedural requirements that are built into the [County] Code.” Ko c h m a n, i s a re side nt of Pine Shores Estates, which is the neighborhood immediately adjacent to the approximately 24-acre Siesta Promenade site at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Stickney Point Road.

“BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES IN OUR BACKYARD” How and Why to Attract Them!
By Maralyn Kaufman-David, LMA Environmental Committee Chairperson It’s not a surprise that native Florida plants better support native Florida birds and butterflies by providing their natural habitat for food and shelter. The Landings already has a great native species that helps attract butterflies – according to an entomologist (Doug Ta lla my), nat ive oa k s provide a natural food source for 550 d i f fe r e nt sp e c ie s of butterflies and moths. This is huge compared with the non-native ginkgo tree that supports only 5 species of butterflies and moths! Another statistic provided by Tallamy’s work is that eight times more native birds were found in suburban yards with native plantings than those with typical alien ornamental plants.
Native plants are better for BOTH birds and people For birds, native plants provide food and resting/nesting places that increase birds’ resilience to climate change. For people, native plants decrease the ne ed to mow g ra ss (one reported statistic is that 56 million Americans mow 40 million acres of grass each week during the growing season….this equates to 800 million gallons of gasoline adding to greenhouse gases and global warming). Also, w it h more n at ive pla nt s and less grass, there is less
fertilizing and pesticide use, which translates to cleaner air and water.

Did You Know Siesta Key has a GEMSTONE? It’s no secret that the sand on Siesta Key Beach is composed of 99% pure quartz. The crystalline white sand of Siesta Key is luxurious, soft, white and cool to the touch 365 days a year. This is why our beloved beach has been revered as one of the most beautiful in the world. Wanting to capture the experience and essence of Siesta Key beach was the goal of the proprietor of Silver City, Monica. “Tourists always wish they can somehow take their vacation memories with them,” so with this in mind, Silver City designed the Siesta Key Watercolor GemstoneTM. They were able to capture the colors of Siesta Key’s blue/ green water and put it into a quartz gemstone. This quartz gemstone is a fusion of the tropical colors that surround us. Just looking into the clear, beautiful gemstone will transport you back to our island paradise representing the Sea, Sky and beautiful sand of Siesta Key Beach. Silver City has now become a “Must Stop” destination for tourists (Currently named #1 shopping destination on TRIP ADVISOR on Siesta Key). Shining brightly among the cases of this uniquely mirrored store lies the much raved about Siesta Key Watercolor GemstoneTM. Every jewelry piece is designed and made by Silver City Sarasota. The staff of Silver City Sarasota is very proud of their unique collection and variety of designs in Sterling Silver and in 14K gold.

Just for laughs Man: Your place or mine? Woman: Both. You go to yours and I’ll go to mine. It’s game 7 of the NBA finals and a man makes his way to his seat at center court. He sits down and notices that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbor if someone is sitting there. He responds, “No, the seat’s empty.” “The first man exclaims, “What?!?
Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the NBA finals and not use it?” The neighbor responds, “Well the seat is mine, but my wife passed away and this is the first NBA finals we haven’t been together.” The first man responds,” I’m sorry to hear that. Wasn’t there anyone else, a friend or relative, that could’ve taken that seat?” The neighbor responds, “No, they’re all at the funeral.”

Building a Better Bowl By Nicole Kenedy
What’s one of the biggest threats to your dog’s health? Believe it or not, in North America it’s canine obesity, a condition brought on by—much like in humans—a deadly combination of poor diet and lack of exercise. In fact, if your pup’s weight exceeds its ideal mark by even as little as 10%, they’re at a greater risk for disease and their life expectancy can be shortened by nearly two years.
Knowing and Maintaining Ideal Weight How do you know if your dog is overweight and at risk? Start with a baseline. Every dog has an ideal weight, and your vet can help you determine an appropriate baseline. Once that weight is established based on your dog’s breed, age, and more, occasional weigh-ins back at the vet, with your local groomer, or at your local independent pet retailer (like DOGPerfect, where weigh scales and body condition charts are available) can help you keep an eye on that baseline. You may be wondering: when should I start to get worried? Well, again, dogs are considered overweight when they exceed their baseline by 10%; they’re considered obese at 20%. At that level, they can develop issues like diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and osteoarthritis. So, it’s best to avoid the worry, and try to maintain their weight as close to their ideal number as possible. Keep in mind, unusual canine weight gain can also be
caused by chronic conditions like Cushing’s disease or hypothyroidism, issues that can be identified by your vet. Barring those, here are a few
ways you can ensure your pup stays in tip-top shape.
Proper Diet and Regular Exercise
On average, dogs need 30 calories per pound of body weight to maintain their current weight. If your pup is weighing in above their baseline, that 30 calorie benchmark might need to change. But again, each and every dog is different, and there may be other factors that influence diet and exercise guidance. Beyond size and breed, your choices and your vet’s recommendations should take into account age, activity level, and other conditions to create a nutritionally complete dietary plan and appropriate exercise regimen. For example, young, rowdy pups require greater caloric intake; pregnant or nursing females benefit from additional protein and minerals; and older dogs may need more regular exercise to keep energy levels up and help burn calories. When looking at food labels, focus on the low end of the listed weight range and work from there, making adjustments for the above factors. Additionally, try to limit intake to mealtimes, and keep tasty, but less nutritional treats to around 10% of your dog’s daily calorie allotment. As for exercise, regular walks are still a great way to get your dog moving. Even at a reasonable pace for just 20 minutes a day, low impact neighborhood strolls can have a major positive effect on the physical health and mental well-being of dogs—and their pet parents, too. If you and your pup have access to water or wide-open spaces, a good swim
or a rousing game of fetch can also go a long way. Though canine obesity is a common problem, fortunately prevention is easy to achieve with a few simple changes. Consult your vet about your dog’s weight, take advantage of local pet store resources with knowledgeable team members who can help you find the right food for your dog, and put your pup on the diet and exercise plan they need to get fit for a long, happy, and healthy life.

South Gate Barber Shop: An “Olde Fashion” Place By Diana Colson The South Gate Barber Shop has been in existence for over fifty years. It was fading into obscurity when taken over by TJ Vincent in 2014, who came in, redid the shop, and kept it all going. TJ Vincent is a female barber in a field usually dominated by men. At the time she got her first license, she was the first female in Florida to be tested for barbering. TJ—also known as Teresa—first graduated from beauty school before deciding that becoming a barber would be even more appealing. She attended barber college in Ft. Lauderdale, passed stringent state tests with flying colors, and—before long—was a fullfledged barber with three shops in Orlando and one in Old Englewood Village. She had but one goal: to provide first-class barber services. TJ soon went back for additional studies. “I wanted to know it all and become well-
rounded,” says this entrepreneurial woman. She took a course in the Roffler method of hair design. The program was designed by Edmond “Pop” Roffler in 1958. It brought advanced European hair cutting methods to America, translating those methods to fit American taste and style. Entirely new and different, Roffler used the straight razor to cut and blend the lengths of hair. His system caught on quickly and he began to teach courses in his advanced technique. TJ signed up for one, and soon was completely enthralled! When the South Gate Barber Shop became available in 2014, TJ jumped at the chance to take it over. Her

goal was to run a real “Olde Fashion” barber shop with a candy stripe barber pole out front. She came in and redid everything. She brought Old Tampa Theater seats to use as her waiting chairs. She filled the place with Burma Shave pictures, hung lures from a fishing pole, and stocked the room with a lot of antiques.

future!” She keeps a few toys on hand to amuse kids as they wait, and every boy’s haircut ends with the presentation of a Tootsie Roll. The aim of the shop is to be homey and comfortable. As TJ puts it, “A lot of old-fashioned barber shops have faded away, but we are here to stay! No appointments are necessary. A guy can come in, relax, and have a good time.” Don’t let the down-home approach fool you. The haircuts being offered at South

Attention is paid to various grooming needs, including ears, nose, eyebrows, and mustache. The shop is “real picky” about sanitation, and all haircuts are finished with a hot lather neck shave. “We don’t cook breakfast, but we do serve coffee,” says TJ, and two large screen television sets are housed at either end of the shop to keep adults entertained.

As many of you already know, our Fitness Center is open with certain restrictions. One of which is that reservations are mandatory.
August 2020
By Kevin Lechlitner
What you may not be aware of is the Fitness Center schedule is posted on the community website – thelandingsofsarasota.com. Once you are there, log in and go to the LRC Member Information page. The Fitness Center schedule link is in yellow near the top right of the page. By clicking the link, you will be able to see the schedule for the next three days. You still need to call the Pro Shop to make a reservation but at least you can see what times and equipment are available in advance. The annual court resurfacing project will be starting soon. Two courts at a time will be offline until all eight are pristine again. Even though the courts are much quieter in the summer months, I still suggest you call ahead for
reservations. For the duration of the project, court availability will be somewhat restricted. Weather permitting, the project should be finished by the end of September. I would like to thank Bill & Gloria Story for donating the extra pavers from their driveway project to the Club. They had enough pavers leftover to replace the path from the mailbox on Landings Blvd. toward the Pro Shop as well as the small area from the parking lot to the kitchen of the Lakeside Clubhouse. Hans & Edvin, from our star maintenance staff, did all the work in-house. This is a big improvement over the round, popcorn steppingstones and rock beds that used to be there. Both areas are now a smooth, stable surface for everyone to safely walk on.

News from the Court By Adrian “Mo” Moghina Now that we are doing the cardio clinics again, please sign up even if there are more than four players already signed up ahead of you. If we have enough interest, we can extend the class to a second court. That means that, we can only take a maximum of 4 players per court, however, if we get at least 6 players, as requested by fellow members, we can do 2 courts. If there are 6 players, we will just do a one hour cardio clinic at the regular price. In this case, the pros will play in, giving everyone an opportunity to hit more balls. This applies to clinics Monday night, Wednesday morning and Saturday morning. We will contact
you if we are able to accommodate a second court. If you use the ball machine, please don’t put the ball mowers inside the shed. Instead, leave them outside right next to the shed when you finish. Thanks to our Hans and Edvin, we now have all three of our ball mowers in excellent working condition. Also, a reminder to everyone, please practice social distancing when playing doubles or participating in clinics. Everybody stay safe out there, both on and off the court! See you on the courts!

Stopped here for lunch and so glad we did. Family run restaurant. The owner only buys whole fish and filets them himself - that is how fresh it is. Fish changes daily depending on what is fresh. The crab cakes were amazing no fillers, one of the best we have had. Had the black grouper platter which can be prepared several ways. It’s a must for fresh fish, not like other places that the fish comes in frozen. Like many commented it’s a true hidden gem.

Speckled trout fishing has been outstanding in 2020!
There is a little secret here on Siesta Key; the fishing is terrific in August! Many anglers assume that the heat slows down the action, but this is far from true. The reality is that due to daily rain showers, the water temperature is actually lower in August than it is in June. Hordes of bait fish cover the flats. This combination results in excellent conditions for anglers to succeed. The best action will be early morning, late afternoon, and at night. Snook love the infusion of fresh water into the bay. Snook migrate back into the bays after spawning out on the beach in August. Shallow diving plugs such as the Rapala X-Rap are very effective baits. They cover a lot of water and produce explosive strikes. Bass Assassin soft plastics also work well. Live shrimp, pinfish, and pilchards will also catch a lot of snook, particularly once the fish are located. Outgoing tides at first light and in the evening are the best times to fish. Redfish will begin to school
up in large numbers in August. The bars south of Siesta Drive are worth a try. Weedless gold spoons and scented soft plastic baits on a 1/8 ounce jig head are proven baits. Hand-picked shrimp cast into pot holes is a deadly technique, too. Low, incoming tides are best. Due to the red tide we experienced last year, both redfish and speckled trout are closed to harvest. The deep grass flats on the north end of Siesta Key will be good spots to target fish. High tides in the morning will produce plenty of fish. Speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, pompano, bluefish, ladyfish, jack crevelle, sharks, small gag grouper, and mangrove snapper will also be caught by anglers drifting the deep grass. A live shrimp under a popping cork works very well. A jig with a grub tail is the preferred artificial bait but plugs and spoons are also effective. The bars from the Stickney Pt. Bridge south to Blackburn Pt. will hold some very nice trout along with a few redfish. This

area does not get a lot of pressure in the summertime. This is an early morning bite and a high tide is preferred. In the last several years mangrove snapper fishing has been outstanding! Grass flats that drop off into deep water with some current flow should produce plenty of nice snapper this month. Live bait works best and baitfish will usually catch larger fish than shrimp. A 1/0 live bait hook tied on a 24” piece of 20 pound flourocarbon leader with just enough split shot to get to the bottom is the simple but effective rig. Surf casters should have opportunities for snook, the beach fishing for snook this year has been outstanding. Small artificial lures such as white jigs and small plugs work well, while live shrimp and baitfish will score more consistently. Other species such as Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, drum, trout, pompano, and flounder will be taken as well. The best conditions are an east wind and incoming tide.

Notes from the Island Fishmonger Siesta South Seafood
Growing up in Michigan I was not as well versed in the knowledge of saltwater fish. I knew about Pike, Whitefish, Walleye and Catfish as most of my fishing career was spent on a lake in Upstate NY. It was not until I moved to South Florida as an adult that I even heard of this elusive and indigenous Florida Hogfish. And not until I actually started selling fish for a living did I know how popular this fish is. The Hogfish is little known to those outside of the Gulf Coast waters stretching from Sarasota to the Florida Keys. Hogfish is the “FILET MIGNON OF THE SEA� says Siesta Key Marina partner and restaurateur Maurice “MO� Dentici. Mo is owner of Spearfish Grille which is located at Siesta Key Marina and is a purveyor of relaxed marina dining. It is also one of only two places on the Southside of Siesta Key that consistently serve up the delicate white flaky Hogfish meat. Spearfish opened in March of 2018 and has been a welcome addition to the Siesta seafood scene. Not only is co-owner Mo and chef James serving up the fresh gulf “Hogfish free dive� that is a tender & sweet gulf Hogfish fresh off the spear then lightly grilled and topped with ginger, lime, butter, cilantro and fire roasted peppers but Spearfish Grille’s interior is just as special. Designed by Marina owners this quaint marina restaurant is decorated with refurbished wood from the docks of Siesta Key marina and has outdoor seating. BIG WATER FISH MARKET & RESTAURANT is also located on the Southside of Siesta Key. The original Big Water Fish Market also serves it up right. Like I said, this fish is hard to come by and most places cannot put this fish on the menu because they can’t guarantee a consistent inventory. Chef Aaron of Big Water Fish Market does have it on the menu and serves it with his own honey Siracha cream sauce with a steamed seasonal veggie medley as well as
my favorite which is the Hogfish Sundown which is Big Water’s version of a Jamaican fish dish named Run Down. This tasty Big Water entrĂŠe is a grilled Hogfish filet topped with a spicy coconut cream sauce and served with grilled vegetables. “I love the unflattering nameâ€? says Carlyle Veale, manager of Big Water Fish Market. “The look of this fish is where its name comes from with a hog-like snout and man I love the taste.â€? It is hard to even keep this fish in stock as once it hits the retail fish counters or restaurant menu this delicate, mild fish flies out the door. I would describe this fish as the perfect combination of flavor and texture because they are sweeter than Grouper, flakey like a Cod and as rich as Scallops. When I say this iconic fish is mild tasting I mean it. When asked to describe the flavor by my customers, I either tell them it’s like biting into a delicious cloud from heaven or it’s the Filet Mignon of the sea. This is a great fish to eat whole (baked or fried) and it is also delicious when served as a filet with a sauce such as a lemon butter caper sauce like a francaise or piccata style. Hogfish is a bit more expensive than the other fish due to the issue of supply and demand. Another reason this fish is a bit rare is because the Hogfish will not bite a hook and line. It’s a smart fish. This fish actually has to be spearfished. The best Florida fish mongers have a spearfisherman with a steady shot on the payroll. A missed shot with a speargun can result in damaged flesh. Here are 5 facts about Hogfish
that you probably do not know: 1. Hogfish is not from the Snapper family as most people think. It is actually part of the Wrasse family and is closely related to a parrot fish more than a snapper. 2. Hogfish uses its elongated pig like snout to rummage and graze for crustaceans that are buried in the ocean floor. Because it has such a healthy shellfish diet the fish tastes clean with a hint of crab flavor. 3. Juvenile Hogfish start out as female and then become male as they mature. 4. Males tend to be more intensely colored with a signature black spot behind the pectoral fins and females are pale grey or brown in color. 5. Hogfish have been recorded to live up to 11 years.
EASY HOGFISH PICCATA RECIPE: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sautĂŠ pan over medium-high heat. Season your 4-ounce Hogfish filets (total of 2 pounds of fish) with Deli Dust (available at Big Water Fish Market) and dredge in flour. SautĂŠ the fish in oil for about 4 minutes, flipping half way through. Remove the fish to a platter. Deglaze the pan with Âź cup white wine, whisking for about 1 minute. Add 2 juiced lemons and 2 tablespoons of capers and stir. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and whisk away to incorporate and bring the sauce together. Pour your sauce onto the fish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a lemon wedge. Bon appetite.
