KID’S CORNER
President’s Column By Norm Olshansky April and May will be months to remember. Stay at home orders, wearing of masks, social distancing, meetings and happy hours on zoom, LRC closed, South Gate closed, nonstop coronavirus talking heads on tv, suspension of elective medical procedures, delayed travel plans, inability to visit loved ones and friends in hospitals or in nursing homes. Hopefully, June will bring some relief while at the same time we work to prevent another flare up of the virus. Several people have asked if we know if and how many cases of the Coronavirus have occurred within The Landings. This is not public knowledge and the County only publishes the number by zip codes. We encourage anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to, or have the virus, to notify people with whom they have been in contact and seek appropriate medical attention. The decision in April to close the South Gate due to concerns about the pandemic was not an easy one for the board. I personally must have received over 50 phone calls and 75 emails from residents expressing appreciation or disdain for our decision, which was hotly debated by the board and was not a unanimous vote. Given the easing of confinement
rules by the County, we reopened the Gate on May 8th. There are continuing concerns by residents living near the South related to dog walkers entering the gate from Philippi Shores. The security committee is in the process of evaluating the extent of the problem by seeking volunteers to take shifts by the gate to determine who may be trespassing vs who are residents going in and out. If not residents, they will be told that they are trespassing and will be issued a polite warning. Let us know if you are willing to volunteer. In addition, the security committee is looking at the feasibility and cost of erecting full gates that will allow residents in and out but which will require a code to enter by foot or bike. We should be getting a report from
the committee over the next few months. We want to thank residents who have been following County and Landings guidelines regarding dogs on leash. Fortunately, we have only had a few individuals who have been in violation. We have been asked to remind residents so that we will not have to report frequent violations to County authorities. Just another reminder that the best source for how to contact residents, is the free “directory” on the website. It is the only source for up to date listings. Additions and changes are made regularly. The green book is available but is not updated until a new one is made available. For a hard copy, you can purchase the green book for $5. Blogs and other important resources on the website are regularly updated too, so check out the website often. We are looking for volunteers for a special project for LMA. Over the years there have been new rules, policies, procedures, etc. that were approved by the board and are found in past minutes. Unfortunately, we do not have a single source policies and procedures manual that is up to date. We are looking for volunteers who can scan through past minutes and pull out items that
need to be put into our manual. Please contact me or Dee Ricapita if you are someone you know might be interested. We are fortunate to have Steve Brockenshire as our new Argus Manager. He comes to us with a wealth of knowledge, not only as a property manager but also as a retired attorney. He currently serves on the HOA Board where he lives in the Meadows. We would appreciate if all board members, committee chairs and other volunteers copy him and me on your work on behalf of LMA so that we can coordinate and communicate with each other more effectively. You may have noticed that The Eagle has fewer pages due to a reduction of advertising. Despite the impact of the virus on local businesses and The Eagle, the new publishers have been great at including our items and finding room for Landings copy. We really appreciate the service they provide to our community. Many of our snowbirds have stayed in The Landings longer than usual given the pandemic. For those who will be leaving this month, we wish you well and will look forward to your return in the Fall.

I had the most unusual interview with my neighbor Jeff Packman. Just before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the beginning of the “Stay-at-Home” and “Social Distancing” orders, Bob Manteiga told me about Jeff Packman and his photography. Jeff,, and his wife Paige, are my neighbors. I knew Jeff as a tennis
player, but he never mentioned that he was a photographer and a world traveler. So, we met in a driveway, under the shade of a tree on a recent morning, sitting safely 8 feet apart, to talk about his art and travels. He moved to The Landings a couple of years ago after retiring from 39 years as an invest-

ment adviser in Seattle, WA. He was familiar with Florida as his parents had spent time in Ft. Lauderdale, and over the years Jeff had discovered and liked Sarasota. He and Paige were looking for a tennis community, so their good friends Rich and Debbie Greenspan introduced them to The Landings. They rented here for a while before buying the place they are living in now. Jeff’s interest in photography started in High School. At that time, cameras did not have autofocus or many automatic settings, which forced him to learn how to really work a camera.
Later, he shot mostly slides, so he took great pains to frame his photographs precisely as you really can’t reframe slide images once the film is developed. He worked on composition and color with people in candid shots but also people posing for him. He documented his trips extensively with beautiful photographs of people, animals and breathtaking landscapes. In his 30s, Jeff took two years off to travel the world — five continents. Later, he lived in Mexico for two years, commuting to Seattle regularly for his work. His world travels made Continued on page 17

LMA Meeting Notes by Trebor Britt For the second consecutive month, the board meeting was held on the Internet using Zoom. A few board members physically attended the meeting in the Racquet Club meeting room. Again, board members were seated at their own table spread throughout the room in keeping with social distancing guidelines. LMA Pres. Norm Olshansky, announced the following during his president’s report: • He reviewed a long list of all the memorable closures and challenges faced in April caused by the community’s response to the Coronavirus. • O l s h a n s k y a n n o u n c e d h e received 50 phone calls and 75 emails in favor of and opposed to the South Gate closure. A motion to reopen the gate will be voted on later in the meeting. • The website directory is the best source to use to contact residents as it is updated with changes and additions regularly. • L MA is seeking a volunteer to compile a single source of policies and procedures from past minutes to update the manual. If interested, contact LMA Pres. Norm Olshansky. • New Landing’s Manager, Steve Brockenshire of Argus is a retired attorney and is currently serves on the HOA Board at the Meadows, where he lives. • Although The Landings Eagle contained fewer pages, submissions of articles is still important and encouraged.
FINANCE REPORT Treasurer, Dick Bayles reported it is still too early in the year to provide an end of year forecast. Nearly half of the unpaid assessments have been paid since last month. Moving forward the LMA attorney will take over the collection process.
MANAGERS REPORT L a nd i ng ’s Ma n age r, Steve Brocken sh i re repor ted t he following: • T he grass near Rooms To Go has been cut, but there is still uncertainty about who is actually responsible. He will closely monitor progress. • All FPL issues have been resolved with the exception of the leaning post. • Website instructional post cards are being printed and will be distributed soon. • Solutions are still being considered regarding the flooding and erosion issues around the Gazebo stairs at
the end of the Nature Trail. • Residents are reminded to keep their dogs properly leashed according to official Landing’s guidelines.
SOUTH GATE REOPENS Trespassing at the South Gate will be monitored, and data accumulated on violators over a five day period yet to be determined. During this period, a well-crafted flyer will be given to violators encouraging them to stop trespassing. Once the data is analyzed, the Board will determine recommendations for action regarding access. Residents i nterested i n helpi ng collect information at the South Gate should contact a member of the Safety and Security Committee. A motion was made to open the South Gate as soon as possible. After discussion the motion passed unanimously.
ROADS The committee has been working with Stantec Engineering for the last six months to develop a plan that will ensure the integrity of the drainage system and roads of the Peregrine Point area for the next decade. The plan includes resurfacing all the roads and correcting overall drainage along those roads. All drainage problem areas will be corrected. Once bids are received, a determination of additional reserve allocations for future road resurfacing will be considered. Engineers are proposing another easement near the cul-de-sac at the west end of Peregrine Point Drive. The LMA attorney will be asked for guidance on how to proceed. A motion was made by the Roads Committee to reconfigure and divide the 250-foot long island on Peregrine Point Drive into three equal lengths. This would include two, six to eight foot breaks in the island. The motion was brought forth to solve both a drainage and pedestrian safety issue. After 30 minutes of discussion, the motion passed by a vote of 6-3.
CORONAVIRUS About 13 minutes of the meeting was spent in a lively discussion of coronavirus issues. The discussion included privacy issues, reporting

Plans Proceeding for new Siesta Key Resort An Update on the Proposed Siesta Key Resort Siesta Sand spoke with Dr. Gary Kompothecras about his planned Siesta Key Resort on Stickney Point. He discussed the hotel’s contemporary exterior design and provided Siesta Sand with an exclusive preview of the structure’s exterior rendering. He noted that onsite parking will be out of view, under the main building. Additional garage parking, across the street from the hotel, where the Bank of America building was once located will reflect a coastal appearance. Can you p rovid e u s w ith a p r og r e s s r e p o r t o n yo u r proposed new hotel? We are still in the entitlement phase of the project. To move forward, some zoning related action will need to be taken before the Sarasota County Commission. Are you still working toward an opening date of 2022? Yes, we are still planning on a 2022 opening if all goes well with the zoning activity required. Can

the
architect ural desig n of the structure and how you decided on that style? Sarasota has a history with moder n desig n. In fact, the Sarasota School of Architecture defines a regional modern style that combines organic modern and European contemporary elements using lots of glass to bring the outside in and rein forced concrete as a visible architectural element. I have been a Sarasota County resident for decades and always appreciated the style. I also own a small lodging facility nearby that was built many years ago and reflects these desig n pri nciples. We recently upgraded that property while retaining its local modern character. Have you had any interaction with the Sarasota architec t ural groups in finalizing the “look” of the new hotel? No, we have not. Our team is

Father’s Day Dee Ricapito
There’s a Sunday in June, an annual holiday where Americans celebrate the men who made them. You may love dear old dad but how much do you know about the observance in his honor? Father’s Day officially began in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, where 27-year old Sonira Dodd, proposed a way to honor the man who raised her after her mom d ied at c h i ldbi r t h. She
was at church service thinking about how grateful she was for her father and got the idea for Father’s Day to mirror Mother’s Day but celebrated a month later in June (her dad’s birth month). The movement grew but didn’t gain national-event status till 1924 under former President Calvin Coolidge. He said this celebration would “establish more intimate relations between fathers and

And beyond being naturally agreeable to your pup’s palate, raw dog food offers a number of excellent benefits for overall dog health.
Benefits of a Raw Food Diet
A s w e ’v e t o u c h e d o n previously, the most important thing to consider when choosi ng a ny pet food is nut r it ion.

Offering superior digestibility, raw food gives dogs the chance to make the most of every meal as their digestive system utilizes more vitamins and nutrients, and eliminates less waste with less work.

One of first things pet parents notice after st a r t i ng t hei r dog on a raw diet is a healthier, shinier coat. Natural, bioavailable, problemsolving components—like amino a c id s t h at s up p o r t c e l lu l a r protein function, and enzymes that aid cellular regeneration and intra-cellular hydration— promote healthier skin and fur and reduce the possibility of allergic reactions. Raw food can even improve your pup’s smile. Thanks to the combination of enzymes from raw meat and a little healthy

How to Choose a Raw Food Diet
While there’s no debating the benefits of going raw, there are still a few things to consider wh e n m a k i n g t h e s w it c h— specifically, which type of raw diet is best for you and your pup? If your lifestyle allows you to opt for a homemade diet, that’s great. However, it’s critical that you familiarize yourself with the basics of canine nutrition.
Before you get sta rted, be sure the ingredients you select achieve n u t r i t i o n a l b a l a n c e, s o you r dog is getting exactly what h e o r s h e n e e d s. Additionally, don’t forget to add ress lo g i s t i c s, a s r aw food requires more t i me, mor e pr e p, more cleanup, and proper cold storage. Wa nt to go t he com mercial route i n s t e ad?

Of course, a combination of both homemade and commercial may be what’s best for you and your dog.

Arts on the Horizon By Rodger Skidmore
It’s Springtime
Yes, Spring started a couple of weeks ago and summer is closing in. The temperature is not down in the 50’s any longer, and it doesn’t rain. Ponds that will be fed by the runoff from summer rains are still slowly decreasing in square footage. The number of turtles per pond may be staying the same, but their social distancing space allotment is shrinking good thing that turtles are not susceptible to COVID-19. If you’ve washed your car recently, you must be pleased that it does not turn yellow as it did in the last two months. Although Mother Nature is not washing your car, she is letting up on the pollen count. Yes, Spring and early Summer are blissful, so we should take advantage of this time of year while it lasts. One thing many of us can do is take a walk around the outside of our home. Some flowers are in bloom, and the sky is mostly blue. If not blue, then blue with puffy
lot-line to lot-line. It makes it hard to tip-toe through the tulips when there is no room to plant tulips! The biggest problem of all is for those lucky ones in highrise condominiums with a view of Sarasota Bay. While views of the sailboats are great from the 10th - 18th floors, it does get a bit crowded at ground level when everyone wants to go outside for a walk at the same time. And how many people do you want in the elevator with you as you descend/ascend Walking has become a popular activity during to/from your walk? Surely the current social distancing restrictions. each condo board can set up white clouds, which a schedule and spacing plan is even better. so that each unit can have their How well we can walk around time in the sun without being is, of course, subject to the kind of overly crowded. Of interest to all home we have and when it was will be how the owners of units built.

Doors
W h e n s o m e d o o r s c l o s e, others may open. That is the case here in Sarasota. Yes, our theatre companies, opera, ballet, orchest ra, da nce compa n ies, circuses, choral groups, museums, etc., have shut their doors for the rest of the season. This was not just cutting off the last performance of a series of six, but, in some cases, the entire run. All the work and nothing to be shown. Ma ny product ion s were pla n ned, d iag ra med, r ig ht s acquired, rehearsed, adverts purchased, halls rented and ready - and all for naught...or so it seems. Hopefully, Tourist Board dollars and the dollars from the pockets of many of our local residents will flow to these groups so they can get off the floor and onto their feet. They need our support. Not just so they can entertain us later, but so they can be made somewhat whole. They should be reimbursed for all of their efforts, even though we did not, ourselves, receive any immediate pleasure from what they’d done or attempted to do.When next season arrives, we hope that they will have not just our financial backing so that they
may be able to continue, but will know they have our blessings, in whatever forms they make take, so that they may wish to continue. OK, doors have been closed, but what ones have been opened? Over the years, while our local arts organizations have been providing us with our lifeline to a richer life, other communities have been doing the same. And some have been saving those offerings to offer to us in our fallow times. Do you like Mahler? One of the most sublime Mahleresque experiences is to go to Classica. stingray.com/en/us. If you click on “TV Schedule”, you will find what they present every hour of every day. Take them up on a free trial and watch what is available. In their archives, you will find A Tribute to Mahler with the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Claudio Abado in 2011 (he passed in 2014). A most sublime experience awaits watching and listening to the Adagio from Mahler’s Symphony No. 10.
Anna Sofie von Otter performance is exquisite.
Also, on the program are six poems set to music and sung by Jonas Kaufmann and Anna Sofie von Otter. The last song, Abschied (Farewell), is exquisite. And, wonder of wonders, there are hundreds of other concerts ava i lable on t h i s st rea m i ng service.
Don’t feel blue, celebrate
It’s funny how some holidays float around like boats at high tide. For example, Easter is the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the vernal equinox. Try explaining that to a four-year-old. One very religious holiday with a fixed date that is celebrated by 21-year-olds and above all over the world is Cinco de Mayo. One question many are asking is how well will Corona beer do this year? Hard to clink bottles from 6 feet away. Anot her f loat i ng date t hat seems to be everyone’s favorite is Mother’s Day. The second Sunday in May falls on the 10th this year, so it’s time to start remembering your mom. Also, if you have a female partner and she has had a child, remember her. If you are a single mother, celebrate yourself - you have a hard job. Hopefully, there’s time to get a present, a card, and reserve a time slot to pick up her favorite carry-out food. Whether you consume it at her place or yours, the big benefit is that there will be no pots or pans to wash. Unfortunately, while saving on water, you’re overburdening the local landfill. Armed Forces Day floats in on the third Saturday of the month and has been floating in this manner for 70 years. In 1950, the separate celebrations for each of the armed services were consolidated to this day. There have been many heroes since the days of the revolutionary army, but we are not celebrating them. The ones we are saluting may not even be “heroes” in the accepted sense of the word, but we are celebrating their commitment to service, and without them we would be in deep, deep trouble. They are the living, still serving, men and women of today’s armed forces. While some are true heroes, our armed forces would not properly function in protecting us without all of them. They serve in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and in many other places so we don’t have such conflicts. Now, they serve on the home front by providing logistical support against the new scourge, COVID-19. We give thanks. Yet another floater, Memorial Day, is on May’s last Monday. The celebration on the 16th is for the living, and this one is for those who gave it all - those who died serving our country. You don’t have to say much, but do think, remember, and give thanks to all.

Looking for that special coastal home decor item or gift? Look no further than Coastal Flow, Sarasota’s newest shop for all things coastal, hand-crafted and unique that celebrate the beauty of the Siesta Key region. Located just off Siesta Key at 7216 South Tamiami Trail, shoppers will discover a pirate’s treasure trove of unique gifts, jewelry, home goods, art and custom made furniture. Inside the spacious boutique, store owners Jessica (Jessie) Gill and Jonathan (John) Hendershott a r e c u r r e nt ly fe at u r i ng t he work of 15 local Sarasota area artists. “Our store is filled with handcrafted pieces by local artists and amazingly skilled craftsmen,” said Jessie. “We’re always looking for local artists who are passionate about their work a nd encourage them to get in touch with us,” said John. Earlier this year, just before the Coronavirus crisis struck, Jessie and John decided that it was the right time to open Coastal Flow. Prior to opening their shop, the couple’s business was focused on sales of John’s custom-made, surf-board tables. Together, they exhibited and sold the one-of-a-kind creations at coastal art shows and arts and crafts festivals up and down the East coast. As dema nd increased, juggling travel to festivals and carving out the necessary time for John to work in his Bradenton, FL, woodshop, where he designs and builds his creations, become an issue. As the new year began, t h e “4 0 - s om e t h i n g ” couple, who are both successful entrepreneurs, made their decision to create a unique retail home to showcase John’s su r f-i n spi r e d t able s while also creating a space to display the work of talented Sarasota and Siesta Key area artists. “We’re kind of like Etsy, in that we have unique designs from great artists, but
we’re here in-person, in Sarasota!” John said. One of the store’s most popular items are John’s surfboard tables that are hand-crafted and madeto-order. “Each table is unique. I customize the design and color of each table,” John reported. The wood tables are available in three sizes: 8-foot, with six matching stools ($1,499), 6-foot with four stools ($999), and the 4-foot model with 2 stools ($499). A custom surfboard coffee table is also available for order at $299. For a patio, lanai, or outdoor space, a “Polywood” style can also be customized. John creates these tables in a 6-foot style with 4 stools at $1,499, and a 4-foot model with 2 stools, for $699. The tables are just one of the

A family run restaurant, very personable service. We were there in between lunch and dinner, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We started with a Ahi Tuna appetizer and a house salad, fresh and delicious. The tuna was sliced very thinly…my personal preference is for larger slices, but it tasted good regardless. For main course we had Snowy Grouper and Golden Tile, both grilled both fantastic. Sides were tasty too, house potatoes and coleslaw. A definite favorite to come back to and try more fresh fish of the day. Luv2Tour2 Ann Arbor, Michigan

the hotel form a ramped “porte cochere,” be greeted and take an elevator to the top floor. The hotel will have a 6,000 square foot multi-function area, a rooftop pool, a small lobby bar for patron service, and it is planned that there will be a light selfserve breakfast. There will be no in-house restaurant. Will the hotel be designed as a mixed use property? No. The parking garage across the street will include about 6,000 square feet of commercial space and 200 parking spaces. Do you plan to incorporate shops as well as parking? Yes, in the parking garage. The pa rk i ng ga rage will accommodate what will likely be two commercial uses, as yet undetermined. Will guests be able to walk to the beaches and into town?
You told the Siesta Sand that European visitors are a part of your focus. Can you tell us how the exterior and interior design will appeal to this audience? The real advantage is that tour bookers have long expressed a concern that the lack of a “flagged hotel” on Siesta Key has been a limiting factor in organizing charter bookings into Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.

Where do you stand with the zoning department, and when do you anticipate breaking ground? Again, we would hope to break ground in 2022.

A preapplication appearance before the County Development Review Committee (coordinated initial staff comment) would be the next step following completion of
The previous renderings were more about how the interior of the hotel might function. We had not paid much attention to the exterior, so the previous rendering had a fairly commercial, “highway hotel” type of look. That was just a “place holder,” as exteriors can be made any way you want, once the functional design is complete. During the ensuing months we worked with the architect to solidify the owner’s intent that the exterior reflects the modern character that has been the goal along. By the way, this is where we appreciated feedback. We got several comments on the previous renderings, and although we knew they were a place holder, the commenters did not. Their comments expressed a wish that we would produce something more u n ique a nd less
commercial, which was our plan all along. Editors Note: More renderings online at siestasand.net

Compiled by: Dee Ricapito
Home School Day 1: I’m trying to figure how I can get this kid transferred out of my class! Did you hear about the rookie police officer who noticed a group of people loitering on a street corner? Wanting to impress his senior supervisor on the force, he pulled out his bullhorn and yelled, “Everyone, break it up! Go back to your homes immediately!” One by one, the group dispersed, all looking puzzled, and many downright frightened. “So how did I do?” The officer asked his supervisor. “Not bad, his veteran officer replied, considering this is a bus stop.” My wife said, “You weren’t even listening, were you?” And I thought, “that’s a pretty weird way to start a conversation.” While out one morning in the park, a jogger found a brand new tennis ball, and seeing no one around it might belong to, he slipped it into the pocket of his shorts. Later, on his way home, he stopped at the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the lights to change. A blonde girl standing next to him eyed the large bulge in his shorts. “What’s that?” she asked, her eyes gleaming with lust. “Tennis ball,” came the breathless reply. “O h ,” s a i d t h e b l o n d e sympathetically, “that must be painful…. I had tennis elbow once.” An elderly husband and wife noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be dangerous, as one of them may accidently forget to turn off the stove and thus cause a fire. So, they decided to go see their physician to get some help. Their physician told them that many

people their age find it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this sounded wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice. When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?” “Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream! “Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You better write that down, because I know you’ll forget.” “Don’t be silly,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!” “OK, dear, but I’d like you to put some whipped cream on top. Now you’d really better write it down now. You’ll forget,” said the wife. “Come now, my memory’s not all that bad,” said the husband. “No problem -- a dish of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream.” And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise inconsistent with his preparing a dish of ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. He emerged from the kitchen about 15 minutes later. Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of bacon and eggs. The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast?”
