At the risk of sounding gushing (and it will), I must say that to get to know Landings resident Trevor Kelliher is to love him. This young man is a beacon of inspiration, courage, honesty and kindness. From the moment I was greeted by his sparkling blue eyes and warm smile, I was eager to learn how his Cerebral Palsy was the impetus for transforming his life and the lives of others with disabilities.
At the age of 20 (he is now 24), Trevor, his father Greg, and his father’s friend Paul, created All Friends Network (AFN), a non-profit dedicated to connecting and enhancing the lives of those with disabilities through what Trevor calls “The Three F’s: Friendship, Fulfillment and Fun.” His stepmother Roxanne is also a devoted member of the AFN team that is working to grow their

membership exponentially.
J: Tell me about your disability and your early life.
T: My mother and I nearly died when I was born because her uterus ruptured.
Thankfully we were in a major hospital and our lives were saved. Oxygen deprivation was the cause of my Cerebral Palsy (CP).
J: Oh, my goodness. Thankfully you made it. Please describe CP.
T: It’s a group of neurological disorders which affect movement, posture and speech. Most people with CP are completely normal cognitively. There is a lot of misunderstanding about us because of our impaired speech but our cognition is not affected at all.

Many of you know Agnes from reading her book, “Sabine’s Odyssey: A Hidden Child and Her Dutch Rescuers.” She also made a presentation about her book at The Landings Learning College a few years ago. Did you know that she speaks several languages, is a world traveler, had a long and interesting career as a journalist and attorney, was a legal writing instructor and college athlete? Her final position, before her retirement and move to Sarasota was as Legal Counsel for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
Early Years
Agnes’s parents were German and Dutch, living in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. Her father was part of the Dutch Resistance who helped save her mother from the Holocaust.
After the war, they married and emigrated to the U.S. settling in Westchester County, NY. Her father started a Dutch flower bulb importing business that her brother continues today as Colorblends.com.
As the oldest of five children, Agnes spoke Dutch at home as her “first” language. She went on to attend elementary school in Harrison, New York, and middle through high school in New Rochelle. She went to a boarding school for one year in the Netherlands and spent a summer with her German grandparents in Germany where she gained fluency in German. While back in school in the U.S., she also learned French and
She went to Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY. and then to NYU at its former Bronx campus where she majored in Political Science and International Relations. She minored in art history. One of the most influential experiences she had in college was her year abroad, where she studied at the London School of Economics.
Following college, she worked for a year with the American Crafts Council, before continuing her education for a master’s degree in journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
When asked why California and the San Francisco area, she said: “My father, who traveled a lot, sent me a postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge when I was seven. I thought it was beautiful and was determined to see it one day. In grad school, I could view the bridge every day from my home in the Berkeley Hills.
Career
After getting her masters, she worked for seven years as a reporter and editor for several afternoon papers in Southern California.
In 1973, she got married to a medical student and they later had four children. They moved to Minnesota for her husband’s fellowship training. As journalism jobs were scarce there, she decided to go to law school. She had enjoyed covering court cases as a reporter and initially hoped to specialize as a legal reporter.
She completed her law degree at the University of Minnesota and ended up practicing law. She started as clerk with a State Supreme Court
When her husband was offered a job at Duke University, they moved to Durham, N.C. and Agnes continued to practice law and became a law partner. They then moved back to Rochester, MN where Agnes began her 15-year career as in-house counsel at the Mayo Clinic.
Retirement
Agnes has 4 children who live in Maryland, North Carolina, Colorado and Alaska. She also has five grandchildren and another one on the way.
After her divorce, she met John Carson who had been a human resources director at 3M in St. Paul, MN. They married and when Agnes retired, they moved to Sarasota. When Agnes was asked how they decided on Sarasota, she said they both did a lot of research. What attracted them to Sarasota was the breadth of cultural life and especially the presence of an opera company and symphony. The fact that Sarasota had reasonable housing and was picked nationally as a best place to retire, was icing on the cake.
The Landings
Their realtor showed them The Landings. They loved the location (being close to downtown) and the beautiful mature landscaping. The Landings felt like a very friendly and active “community.”
Agnes got involved. She took up tennis and for a while was on the 3.0 team. Her first volunteer activity in The Landings was serving on the board of her condo association and later on the LMA board. She recently joined the LRC board. Her book opened lots of doors. In addition to speaking at The Landings Free College, she has made presentations for the Ossining Library in NY, the Venice Jewish Center, Congregation Shirat HaYam in Nantucket,
When asked about what she likes the most about The Landings, she said: “I like the sense of community here. When I walk, I meet a lot of neighbors and friends who are so welcoming. I love the fact that I have a great view of sunrises and sunsets from my condo on Phillippi Creek and enjoy water aerobics, exercise classes and our lending library.” When asked what could be improved in The Landings, she mentioned that she wished The Landings had sidewalks and pickleball courts.
Community
Agnes has also been involved as a volunteer in the greater Sarasota community serving as a guide at the Ringling Museum and as guardian ad litem for the Sarasota Courts, working on behalf of children. She serves on the Land Protection Committee of Big Waters Land Trust (formerly Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast). She is also co-chair of the Jewish Federation’s Generations After Group of children of Holocaust survivors and co-chaired the community 2024 Kristallnacht Program.
Leisure
Another aspect of Agnes’s unique life and history is her love of dance. She has been taking ballroom dance lessons for several years at the Fred Astaire Studio. She also loves to travel and has been to Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Bali, and most of Europe. She is looking forward to several additional trips she has planned for next year to Egypt and South America.

President’s Report ByJeffSmith
Dear Neighbors, 2024 was quite a year, full of accomplishments and challenges for your Board of Directors and residents alike. There were simply too many issues to list, so I will sum them up by saying that the fact that we exit 2024 in a strong financial position, ready and willing to complete initiatives and take on new ones, is possible only because of the strong resident support demonstrated this year for your volunteer Board of Directors
and many committee volunteers. We thank you for your support. Your Board of Directors wishes our residents a Happy and Healthy New Year as we look forward to a bright future for The Landings.
Sincerely,
Jeff Smith for your volunteer Board of Directors, Sue Camins, Eddie Goldstein, Louis Goncalves, Judy Greene, Hans Hawrysz, Jackie Massari, Elida Ramberger and John Schmidt.

March 28: Calcutta Tournament Draw Party – The Landings will hold their first weekend Calcutta Tennis tournament, organized by our local Tennis Pro George Ulrich. Come to the draw party on Friday night preceding the tournament to bet on your favorite teams, then watch the fun pplay out over the weekend.
More details to follow!
April 9 or 10: Happy Hour – details to be finalized. May 3: Kentucky Derby Party – wear your fascinator hats and Derby finery to bet on your favorite horse, while enjoying traditional Derby cocktails such as Mint Juleps and Lillies. What’s not to like!
May 26: Memorial Day Barbecue – a long time Landing’s tradition with a tasty barbecue and patriotic songs to honor our Veterans.
Popular LRC games and activities are underway including Mahjong, RummiKub, Canasta, Trivia, the Landoliers, and Free College, along with a new event, a Movie/Book Club on the second Tuesday of the month, chaired by JT Thaler. No excuse to be bored at the Landings!
Thanks for all the hard work by our LRC Social Event Chairs:
Kudos to Ingrid Wiemer for organizing the first ever Landing’s Oktoberfest, complete with bratwurst, German beer and wine! 88 raucous LRC members joined the merriment, donning dirndl dresses and checkered shirts, to toast the fall season with a rowdy “Hoi Hoi Hoi!” that could be heard blocks away!
A big thank you to Jill Eisner and her team for organizing our amazing 2024 LRC Holiday party which was a sellout with over 100 people who danced the night away with DJ Karolina!
Sing-Along with Tommy
Remember when Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall uttered that iconic line, ” Play it (again) Sam”? Well, the LRC isn’t going to take you to Casablanca, but we are going to invite you to listen to Sarasota’s own key-thumping aficionado, Tommy Orr. Tommy is a modern-day Sam. Classically trained; he can just as easily play Sam’s “As Time Goes By” as pop/ rock melodies.
Orr effortlessly riffs any tune, be it Sinatra, Adele, or Foo Fighters, you name it. He loves to take re-
quests and have guests sing along. So, plan to join this fun evening to listen to and sing your favorite songs.
Tommy will be playing in the Lakeside Room at the LRC Happy Hour on Thursday, January 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is complimentary for LRC members but follows typical Happy Hour norms, which means, bring an appetizer to share and your own beverage. The sign-up sheet will be posted in the clubhouse.

This a cool little spot in a strip mall on Tamiami Trail. There's ample parking and a couple of tables outside under the store rooftop. Inside is a nice dining room and bar seating facing the kitchen. A small "market" with fresh fish and shellfish is located at the rear of the dining room. Very casual.
We were in for lunch and there was only one server, but service was excellent throughout and she was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and products like the canned non-alcoholic beverages.
We started with Devon's Lump Crab Cake which lacks any filler as advertised. Basically held together with some mayo and served with a grilled lemon and house remoulade. Delicious! We took two home!
I ordered the grilled triple tail (any fresh fish available grilled or blackened) on a melt in your mouth brioche bun with a little tartar sauce. Excellent!
My wife went with grilled snapper tacos and she was very happy.
Of course, we saved room for the famous key lime pie which was undoubtedly the best key lime pie we have ever encountered.
They have a good wine list and beer selection as well as some interesting non-alcoholic choices! If you're looking for fresh fish, GO!

Happy New Year! I trust everyone had a safe, happy & healthy holiday season. As a reminder, the Landings Racquet Club Annual Meeting will take place Monday, January 20, at 6:00 PM in the Lakeside Clubhouse. You should have received the annual meeting packet in the mail a few days ago. Please sign and return the proxy to the Club at your earliest convenience. We need a third of the membership present by proxy to establish a quorum so the meeting can take place.

have questions about it.
All members are invited to be present at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. As a reminder, the board doesn’t make day-today operational decisions at this meeting. If you have a concern or an idea, please share that with me or attend the regular monthly board meeting.

News From the Court
ByAdrian“Mo”Moghina
Happy New Year!!!
Jen, Sandra and I want to thank you for your generosity over the holiday season and we are looking forward to helping you with your tennis game in the new year. We have seen tremendous improvement in our team players strokes and understanding of competitive play.
Here are some simple tips for the new year. When you practice your game always work on hitting the ball to a particular part of the court. That way it forces you to watch the ball and contact the ball at the correct time.
Always try to hit the sweet spot on the strings. Basically, that is the center of the strings.
When you don’t hit the sweet spot consistently you will eventually feel some pain in your elbow. The sweet spot gives you easy power and the control that you are looking for.
Also, when you hit the sweet spot, you can feel the difference and it sounds great.
Finally, always work on your footwork so that you can give yourself a chance to play with balance, good posture and use your big muscles correctly. Tennis is a full body sport. You are basically dancing with the ball.
Our new lesson rates will start January 1. Private lessons, team practices, cardio clinics or any other clinic have increased by $5 for members. The nonmembers will have to pay a $10 court fee instead of the current $5 for any cardio or other clinics.
If you have any questions, call the pro shop.
Our social round robin and pro exhibition will be on January 24 from 2-4:30 p.m.
Sign up at the pro shop. See you on the courts
Senior division was Bruce & Bruce Man-Son-Hing from California. They defeated the Molinas in the final 6-4, 6-4. In the Super Senior final, Jerry and Brett MorseKarzen defeated the Morgensterns 7-6, 6-3. This was the 8 th gold ball here for Jerry & Brett. In the Ultra division, Jimmy & Chris Parker defeated Michael & Andrew Stewart 7-5, 7-5. The Parkers have also won the tournament here a total of eight times, over the years. Thank you to all the Ambassadors that help make this a special tournament for the players. I would also like to thank the volunteers who work tirelessly the week of the tournament. Last but
RummiKub, the Movie Book Club, and a Koffee Klatsch as part of our diverse activities.
We are currently testing a new app that will allow you to check your match schedules and M/W/F tennis times, as well as pay your bill online. While we hope to eventually use the app for court bookings, that feature is not yet available. A reminder to all Club members: please ensure your dues are paid by January 1. Elections will also take place in January. Thank you for actively participating in all our club activities!
not least, a big thank you goes to Valentina Valentini and Dorothy Citro for the incredible dinner party they catered for the players. It certainly takes a village to make the tournament successful each year.
You should have received an invoice for the LRC annual assessment in early December. The annual fee for the Racquet Club for 2025 is $2,210.00. It is a $160.00 dollar increase ($13.33 per month) over last year’s assessment. Thank you to those that have already given me a check.
If you haven’t submitted your payment, please keep in mind that it is due January 1. Late fees and
interest will be charged February 1 on any unpaid assessments. I would like to see everyone avoid that if possible.
The Landings Free College is scheduled to start their weekly lecture series on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. beginning January 9 and running through April 24. The weekly topics will be advertised in the email that I normally send out every Friday along with other events at the Club. If you would like to be added to my email list, please contact me in the Pro Shop or via email at LRCTennis@hotmail.com.

Parents of School-Aged Children Begin Planning
Volunteers Needed
SubmittedbyLMASocialChair,JackieMassari
Current counts indicate that there are approximately 100 children residing in The Landings, mostly in the HOAs where there are single homes. Prompted by Jessica Albert, a new resident with three children, the LMA Social Committee has decided to explore options to determine if a need exists to develop more activities in The Landings for the younger set.
To that end, there will be an exploratory meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 6:30 p.m. in the LRC Multipurpose Room. This meeting is open to all parents of school age children.
All ideas and volunteers are welcome. If it is determined that there is sufficient interest for a committee to move forward, then we will need your support to begin the planning and the implementation. It is our belief that parents have the clearest picture of activities that their children would enjoy and attend (we do acknowledge that not all children may concur with that assumption!), so this will be a committee that will follow that lead.
Musical Cocktails- Trill Seekers- 3 p.m.
Sign-up sheet available 1/2/25. Our November Musical cocktails was very well
Celebrating the Valentine season by the presentation of a play called Love Letters. Initiated by Linda MacCluggage, LMA and LRC member, she will provide more details in the February Eagle. This will be accompanied by a reception and a discussion.
The agenda is open-ended with the intent to explore ideas and suggestions and to determine if there is enough interest to move forward.
If you are unable to attend, email your ideas/suggestions and eagerness to participate to Social Chair, Jackie Massari, at jackiemassari@yahoo.com. Join us for an hour on January 7!

I Hear Music! - January Musical Cocktails
SubmittedbyJackieMassari,LMASocialChair
Our initial Musical Cocktails was quite the success with Jim Martin and his jazz ensemble performing in November. Jim, and his fellow musicians, provided an entertaining hour of popular jazz tunes.
Over 100 Landings’ residents attended the performance and the wine and cheese reception which followed. This provided an opportunity for attendees to chat with new acquaintances while reconnecting with old friends.
The second Musical Cocktails event is planned for January 26, at 3 p.m. in the LRC Lakeside Room. In January, we will be entertained by the Florida Trill Seekers. This flute quartet performs music from J.S. Bach to the band Chicago, using all the instruments in the flute family.

Alerts for KayakersNew Season Begins
SubmittedbyJackieMassari,KayaCommitteechair
The Kayak season begins anew on Jan. 1 for all those who have been assigned to rent berths for the upcoming year. If you did not renew your kayak berth, then please remove your kayak from its assigned berth by Dec. 31. If you have been assigned a new berth, then you may remove a kayak that is in your newly assigned berth and place it on the ground. All those no longer renting a berth have been apprised of this rule.
Pinnacle is sending both bills and contracts; I have already received mine- so please be sure to send the completed contract form when you submit your payment. All current kayakers have been sent a list of their berth assignments by the Kayak Committee Chair. This information will also be posted on TeamReach and on the LMA Bulletin Board outside the LRC.
The Kayak Committee hosted a party on December 7 for all kayakers/ interested kayakers. The gathering allowed the Kayak Committee to thank and recognize the following volunteers who have done a yeoman’s job of saving our kayaks during the brutal storm/hurricane season: Roger Blanken, Wayne Trotter, Jon Demos and Dan Callendar. These folks have been there when we needed them as well as when they saw a self- initiated need! Additionally, recognition was given to Tina Greenberg who is instrumental in keeping track of the berth assignments and waitlist details. Wayne Trotter has volunteered to organize a “slow kayakers” group and John McFetridge will once again lead adventures out onto the bay. It takes a village, and these folks are the epitome of that!

Security Report
11/17
The South Post was struck and damaged by an unknown individual. There was no video available. This incident continued the unreliability of the mechanical operation of the South Gate. As a result, LMA has reduced the hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., placed the barrier arms in an upright position, and added a security rover to provide security during this time. The South Gate now has new technical equipment (cameras and readers) in place, and we are awaiting the installation of new barrier arms and swinging gates.
11/22
At 7:20 p.m., three individuals on motorized bikes sped through the entrance followed by a Sheriff ’s vehicle with emergency lights flashing in pursuit. Residents at the corner of Heron Way and Landings Blvd witnessed this but were unable to identify the individuals because it was
dark out. At some point, the bikers reversed course after driving up on a grassy area and the pursuit continued in the opposite direction. At 7:40 p.m., the Sheriff advised our Security Captain that he had been following three youths who had been driving in a reckless manner through the Landings Shopping Center, further, that he had broken off pursuit fearing someone would be injured because one of the individuals had fallen off the bike before promptly getting back on and disappearing.
There was no video of the incident so identifi cation of the individuals could not take place.
11/25-11/27
Two noise complaints were made concerning landscaper/contractor activity on Peregrine Point Way after 5 p.m. Security investigated both incidents and saw signs of work being done but no workers were present at that time. On 11/28, there were no
signs of work being done.
12/2
An unknown contractor dumped construction debris (broken up boards) on Pintail Way.
Identification by residents could not be made. (LMA Security Committee Comment) In all these incidents there were no video feeds available. That is changing. All gates will have high resolution video feeds, including night vision, available in real time and reviewable. License Plate Readers will be at all exit gates as well as the main gate entrance. Going forward, in each of these incidents we would capture the video feed, the license plate (not for the bikers), time of entrance and time of exit.

Just for Laughs
By: DeeRicapito
My New Years resolution was to read more. So, I put the subtitles on my TV. My neighbor just yelled at her kids so loud that I even brushed my teeth and went to bed.
I heard Donald Trump wants to make New Year’s Eve Great Again. Dear God, my prayer for 2025 is a fat bank account and a thin body. Please don’t mix it up like you did this year.
I was going to quit drinking for the New Year, but then I remembered no one likes a quitter.
At the drugstore, she says, “It’s the fi rst day of 2025 and my husband is complaining of cramps, headaches chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Do you sell earplugs?”
So, here’s to resolutions that were as fleeting as leftover cookies! It’s not about keeping them; it’s about making them sound good on Instagram. Cheers to another year.
Thanks, Dee

Living His Dream
J: Where did you go to school and what was your life like growing up?
T: I grew up on Boston’s South Shore. I attended regular classes with the assistance of an aide. I had a lot of friends during school hours. However, I wasn’t included in my fellow students’ weekend activities. I only had one friend, who was autistic, that I sometimes socialized with outside of school. So, I felt quite isolated and lonely. Thank goodness for my friend Chase. Once I graduated from high school I lost my social network.
J: How does one join?
T: Anyone can join. It’s free and all our activities are free. We raise money through our nonprofit to pay for meals and entrance to all events. To join, one can register at allfriendsnetwork.com. or through our TeamReach app.
J: Tell me about your programs.
J: How much time do you spend running the organization?
T: My dad, Roxanne and I spend a lot of time. But we love it. I spend an hour each day creating new content for our website. Then, of course we’re involved in creating and scheduling events and running online games. We communicate with our members through AFN Live-link on TeamReach.
J: You also work, don’t you?
J: I’m sorry to hear that. When did you move to Sarasota and The Landings?
T: My father and I moved to Sarasota in 2018.
J: How was that for you?
T: Well, I became very lonely because I didn’t know anyone and didn’t have any way of making friends. And then Covid made it even lonelier for me. That’s when I talked to my father and came up with the idea of starting a nonprofit friendship organization for people with disabilities.
J: What a wonderful idea! How did you make it happen?
T: My father, his close friend Paul and I spent a weekend brainstorming about how we could bring together young people with disabilities for the purpose of building friendships by engaging in fun activities. We decided to call our membership organization All Friends Network and to have both online and in-person components.
J: How did you get the word out?
T: It was slow at first. It took about three or four months. But a few network news outlets did stories about us and that helped us really take off.
J: How many members do you have?
T: In the Sarasota-Manatee area we have between 40 – 50 members who regularly attend our in-person events. We have about 300 – 400 online members from around the country. The age range is 18 and up. Most of our members are between 18 and 40.
T: Online we organize team games on Zoom two nights a week for both verbal and non-verbal members. And we hold a variety of in-person events in this area once or twice a month. They include sharing meals, going to sporting events, movies, a boat excursion and many more activities. We also have an annual golf tournament that I participate in. We’re hoping to introduce an annual pickle ball event, too.
J: How has creating and running this organization been for you?
T: Wonderful! I thought that I was the only person with a disability who had difficulty making friends and who suffered from loneliness. I now know that most people with disabilities feel very isolated. People assume that they aren’t intelligent or interesting and don’t include them.
J: Have you made some good friends through All Friends?
T: Oh yes. I talk to my best friend Korey every day. He has CP and lives in West Palm Beach. We’re very close. He started a nonprofit called Korey’s Krew that arranges for people with disabilities in his area to attend concerts together. I have other wonderful friends I have met through our organization as well.
J: How has the experience been for your members?
T: They are very happy to be part of our organization. Some of their parents have told us that their sons and daughters have come out of their shells and are more social, more communicative and seem happier since they joined us. At our gatherings they feel included and not judged like they often feel by people on the outside who don’t know how to relate to us.
T: Yes, I do medical billing for my father’s organization 20 to 30 hours a week.
J: You also play pickleball and golf?
T: Yes, Landings residents can see me out on the pickleball court playing doubles with Landings friends.
J: What do you hope for your future?
T: I want to keep growing AFN and eventually raise the finances to run it full-time. It is my calling! I also hope to one day live independently, to get married and have children.
J: Trevor, given what I have learned about you I am certain that you will achieve every goal that you set for yourself. You are an amazing, inspiring young man! To learn more about All Friends Network go to allfriendsnetwork. org. They welcome donations as well as volunteers to help with their live events.

OF THE MONTH Ball Python Python regius Serving the Florida Gulf Coast Since 1975 Welcome to Seascape Aquarium & Pet Center. We have:
$40 for regular ball pythons. Special pricing on assorted "morphs" (patterns and colors)
Ball pythons are by far the most popular pet snakes for good reason. With a generally placid disposition, they are the perfect snake for beginner and expert handlers alike. Also known as Royal Pythons, they are typically so easy going that ancient Egyptian aristocrats used to “wear” them around their wrists and necks as a sign of high status. The more common name, Ball Python, comes from their tendency to curl up like a ball with their head in the middle when threatened. Youngsters typically start out on a diet of live or “frozen thawed” fuzzy mice and work their way up to larger rats as adults. Captive care is relatively simple as they don't need much more than a snug hiding place, a source of heat, clean water, and a weekly meal to thrive.
Typical appearance and behavior:
• Ball Pythons are bred with a near endless variety of color morphs. Depending on the animals’ genetics, they are available in thousands of unique colorations and patterns.
• Ball Pythons are typically nocturnal, so they are much more likely to be out and about at night when then lights are o .
• Like most other non-venomous snakes, Ball Pythons are constrictors, meaning they quickly grab and coil their bodies around their prey before swallowing the prey whole.
• Adults are typically as easy going as it gets; a Ball Python is happy to snuggle up around your neck or arm for as long as their handler pleases.
