southbeachnews Removal of invasive Australian pines at Fort De Soto complete

By Scott Lancaster TIERRA VERDE - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently completed a project to remove the last remaining Australian pine trees from Fort De Soto Park. This invasive, non-native tree was removed from the park’s North Beach area and other locations at a cost of over $269,000.

Removal of the pines is part of a statewide effort to eliminate exotic plant species from sensitive habitats. It is also a requirement of the Fort De Soto Park Land Management Plan.

Clearing out the Australian pines is vital for the park’s long-term maintenance, as the trees can create several hazards for native Florida ecosystems.

The pines also do not stabilize the shoreline against erosion like native species, and are prone to topple over in high winds. They can also create a toxin that inhibits native plants, and their proximity to the beach can hinder sea turtle nesting.

Extreme erosion occurring at North

Beach has been exacerbated by the presence of Australian pines, as the trees actually shade out beneficial dune vegetation.

In addition, during the past spring, portions of North Beach were closed to the public due to the presence of dangerous trees and exposed roots.

According to the Fort De Soto Park Management Plan, “Australian pines can shade out the sea oats and produce a bushel of pine needles a day.

The accumulation of pine needles hinders the germination of the seeds of the sea oats. Australian pine trees are targeted in our exotic removal program and are being eliminated from the park.

Complete elimination is not expected due to recruitment of new plants from wave and air borne seeds. This means that even when mature trees are eventually eliminated from the island, we must remain vigilant in our efforts to eliminate the new plants as they inevitably arrive.”

In Brief Treasure Island roads to get make-overs TREASURE ISLAND - TI city commissioners recently approved a plan to pay Ajax Paving Industries of Florida over $272,000 to repave 17 roadways. This year’s repaving work is part of 20-year plan by the city to repair Treasure Island streets.

Treasure Island Public Works

By Scott Lancaster Director Mike Helfrich said the streets are chosen to be repaired based on the serverity of the damage and this phase’s streets all have large cracks that need to be addressed.

The city typically spends up to $300,000 a year on street repaving.

Construction underway on new luxury resort TREASURE ISLAND - Delray Beachbased Ocean Properties has wasted no time in getting started on the construction of the Edgewater Beach Resort on the gulf-front lot at 108th Avenue and Gulf Boulevard, between the Thunderbird Beach Resort and Treasure Sands Condominiums.

The 77-unit Edgewater Beach Resort will have one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites and also a restaurant.

Calling the project "the largest development in at least the last four years," Paula Cohen, the city's community improvement director, expects the resort to open by early next year.

midbeachnews Boy George and Culture Club headlining Unity Fest

Culture Club, then

By Beth Ludwig

Generation X will be in all its glory at the Madeira Beach music festival this month.

MADEIRA BEACH - Boy George and the original Culture Club members will reunite for the first time in over 10 years when they headline Madeira Beach’s Unity Fest on Aug. 15 as part of their 2015 North American tour dates.

Culture Club may the headlining act, but the other performers are no slouches, either. Also appearing are Book of Love; My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult; C+C Music Factory (feat. Freedom Williams); Howard Jones; and Marc Almond of Soft Cell.

The event promoter, Harry Tiyler, is calling it a “unity festival to promote racial, religious and sexual-orientation tolerance.”

Indian Shores a top summer destination

Culture Club had a string of hits in the 1980s and ’90s, including “Karma Chameleon,” “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya,” “Miss Me Blind,” and “The Crying Game.” They currently have a new album in the works called “Tribes.”

Unity Fest is an all-ages event. It will be held rain or shine at Madeira Beach’s completely overhauled waterfront recreation complex, located at 200 Rex Pl. Tickets range in price from $30$179, and VIP Cabanas are also available. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m.

John’s Pass dolphin probably injured by boat propeller

By Beth Ludwig

By Jason Coffman INDIAN SHORES - Indian Shores is one of 12 Florida cities recently listed as part of TripAdvisor’s “29 Super Affordable Vacation Rental Destinations.”

TripAdvisor analyzed over 150 vacation destinations across the United States, comparing the price of two-bedroom vacation homes during the summer months to find the most afforable getaways that offer the most bang for your buck when staying in a rental home.

According to TripAdvisor, “The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is a must-see, hosting over 100,000 tourists each year. It’s free admission and offers not only an educational experience for all ages, but the chance to see amazing bird species up close and personal. A two-bedroom vacation home in Indian Shores this summer is just $1,001/week on average. You’ll have easy access to the sanctuary, as well as other attractions like Smuggler Cove Adventure Golf, a kid favorite.”

The other Florida cities that made the cut include Davenport, Ormond Beach, Englewood, Naples, Bonita Springs, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, New Smyrna Beach, Bradenton Beach, Daytona Beach and Mexico Beach.

NOAA law enforcement are seeking tips on severely injured dolphin in John's Pass.

Experts are concerned the animal was illegally fed.

MADEIRA BEACH - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Law Enforcement is seeking tips on an injured bottlenose dolphin in John’s Pass. The dolphin is suffering from severe boat propeller wounds to its back and tail.

The agency is looking for information from anyone who witnessed suspicious activity around the animal, such as people feeding or chasing it.

A known animal to local researchers, the injured dolphin was first reported to the St.Petersburg Police Department last month. The animal may have been illegally fed, leading to its current injuries, which are so severe that veterinarians and researchers consider them life threatening.

NOAA and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium are monitoring the dolphin’s condition. Experts are asking boaters not to feed this animal and to maintain a safe distance of at least 50 yards away to prevent

further stress and harm.

The health and welfare of wild dolphins is severely compromised when humans feed them and closely interact with them.

Human-fed dolphins change their normal wild behavior and run a greater risk of being injured by boats, becoming entangled in fishing gear, or ingesting dangerous items such as fishing hooks and contaminated food. Not only is interacting with wild dolphins dangerous for their health, it’s against the law.

Feeding and harassing wild marine mammals is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and can result in severe penalties with fines up to $20,000 and one year in jail for the most serious violations.

Please call NOAA’s law enforcement hotline at 1-800-853-1964 to report any known suspicious activity that might have led to the dolphin’s injuries. Tips may be left anonymously.

northbeachnews New life for location of former Tapas Garden restaurant

By Jason Coffman

After languishing vacant for years, there are plans for new development at the prime commercial site NDIAN ROCKS BEACH - Demolition has begun in order to make way for a new $1.3 million retail plaza at the site of the former Tapas Garden restaurant located at 321 Gulf Blvd.

Crews are currently clearing out the two abandoned buildings, originally built in 1945, that previously occupied the nearly 1-acre site. The developer of the project, IBR Holdings, LLC, expects construction of the new 13,575 square foot structure to be completed early next year.

The retail complex will house five separate units. The largest of which, at 8,250 square feet, will be a Beach Zone swimwear and surf shop.

AQUA PRIME: something to boast about

I

had to chuckle -- OK, maybe chuckle is a stretch -- when someone recently asked me if I thought Aqua Prime in Indian Rocks Beach would last. Obviously, they meant stay in business. What this curious diner didn't know, but I did, is that Aqua Prime was recently purchased by restaurant guru, Steve Westphal, who owns about a gazillion restaurants in the area: The Pub; 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House; Parkshore Grill; The Hangar Restaurant & Flight Lounge; and the Café Gala at the Dali Museum. Westphal is one of three groups on the beach that are a force to be reckoned with. Steve Westphal, Matt Loder and Frank Chivas. What do I mean? Simple. These three men don't fail.

Period!

So when Westphal was contacted about purchasing the newly renovated Aqua Prime, he jumped at the opportunity to make Aqua Prime the go-to restaurant, not just in Indian Rocks Beach, but for all the communities on the beach.

I totally understand why this curious diner would ask the question, because the three restaurants that occupied the location prior to Westphal's takeover had failed.

An Indian Rocks Beach resident myself, and knowing Steve Westphal's reputation, I, too, was curious about Aqua Prime. The great news for you, my dear readers, is that I recently paid a visit to Aqua Prime on a beautiful Friday evening and I'm here to tell you all about it.

The place is awesome. The patio in the rear of the restaurant is amazing, and,

truthfully, just so damn inviting and comfortable. The first thing I noticed was soft jazz music playing in the background, setting the ambiance of the place right away. But let me make something clear before you draw any assumptions, the place is very casual. It truly is Westphal's trademark: create a beautiful place with damn good food but keep it casual and priced right, a place you want to go to all the time, not just once a month or for "special occasions."

Aqua Prime reminds me of Guppy's, another restaurant in Indian Rocks Beach, but Aqua Prime has a better atmosphere. I'm not knocking Guppy's, but their interior is a bit cold and their outdoor seating is in front of the restaurant on Gulf Boulevard. Not the most desirable place to eat dinner. Aqua Prime has a beautiful interior dining area, but it was the huge outdoor patio in the rear that I freakin' loved. And the twinkly white lights, comfortable décor, inside/outside bar, and live music were only the start of it.

The food was the highlight of my night. I don't care too much about where a chef trained or how he learned to cook, I just want good food.

But when I learned that Aqua Prime's Chef Jason Vargo

Aqua Prime 213 Gulf Blvd.

Indian Rocks Beach (727) 330-7724 OPEN FOR LUNCH & DINNER was a chef for years at Bonefish and Salt Rock, I was like, damn, did Steve ever do some great recruiting.

On this beautiful evening, I started with the Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad (almondcrusted goat cheese, watermelon, heirloom

tomatoes, arugula, with balsamic vinaigrette). The presentation amazing, and so was the salad, but you obviously have to love goat cheese.

I wanted to try a couple of different main entrees. I selected the Coconut Crusted Salmon with a Pina Colada sauce, and the Mediterranean Chicken, an all-natural sautéed chicken with feta, tomatoes and caper sauce.

My dear readers, I am not kidding, probably the best salmon you will ever have. I'm serious.

Don't forget, Chef Jason worked at Bonefish for years and is now under the helm of one of the best restaurateurs in the entire Tampa Bay area.

Running the front of the house is General Manager Johnny Morales. The guy makes you feel like you are royalty.

He was constantly on patrol, overseeing every last detail. I learned that he previously ran The Pub, Westphal's waterfront restaurant in Indian Shores, for years. You don't last with Westphal for years unless you are truly the best of the best. It's that simple.

Aqua Prime has given Indian Rocks Beach an incredible restaurant to boast about. I absolutely loved the place. If you go -- wait -- when you go, you must sit out on the back patio. And don't be afraid of the heat; they have portable air conditioners out there! You can thank me later.

Bon appetit!

Chef Jason Vargo

Caribbean Pools & Spas, LLC

After sitting down with brothers Phil and BJ Oestreich of Caribbean Pools & Spas, they leave no doubt as to which is the best company to hire for new pool construction and pool remodels.

"We have a personal relationship with our clients. We are innovative, creative and we go above and beyond. We've been doing this since we were 8-yearsold," said Caribbean Pools & Spas President Phil Oestreich, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the business, and is also in charge of design and sales.

"It's not just a business to us, it's very personal," said BJ Oestreich, Caribbean Pools & Spas operations and on-site manager.

"We look for a challenge. I never say no to a client. I find a way to make it happen, which has made us the go-to pool builder and remodeler for waterfront homes," said Phil. "We like being hands-on."

With over 60-plus years of combined experience between the brothers and their father, Steve, who handles all the admin-

istrative duties, from permitting, scheduling, billing and more, the family business has surpassed many other custom pool builders. Caribbean Pools & Spas is also the pool builder for many custom home builders along the beach and throughout Pinellas County.

bragging rights for building many highend pools, such as the most recent construction project for John Cena, well-known wrestler and actor, which cost over $1 million, just for the pool alone. But the brothers are quick to put homeowners at ease, with a modest price range of new pool construction, from a starting point in the mid-$30K to $90K-plus.

"Regardless of the price of the project, we give every customer the best service and attention to detail we can," said BJ. "We also think about the future. We specialize not just in waterfront homes but in energy efficiency. We want to make sure it does not cost the homeowner a lot of

money to maintain the pool."

In addition to energy efficiency and complete pool automation, Caribbean offers complete designs for all types of pools, including beach entry, ledges, LED fountain and fire features, and outdoor living spaces.

"We love being able to come in on-time and on-budget for the homeowner. We have built a reputation by building the best pools possible for our customers. It's all about building a high quality pool at an affordable price and giving the customer the service they need and deserve," said Phil.

adam jofi dream team spotlight Focus On:

Fine Wood Design As we would all agree, there are at least a million companies that provide cabinets for your new kitchen or bathroom, or your entire house, for that matter, but how do you know who to turn to make sure you not only get a good price but also a damn good product?

In this month's Adam Jofi Dream Team profile, we take a look at Fine Wood Design, a company that has been in business for 13 years in the Tampa Bay area and has set a new bar for custom cabinet makers.

So what is so great about Fine Wood Design? For starters, the designer at the helm and Fine Wood Design president, Graham Winter, did his apprenticeship in Fine Cabinetry in England. He is the real deal. Unlike many other custom cabinet makers, Fine Wood Design uses CAD engineering, providing real CAD drawings and not those "silly" computer drawings, said Winter, to provide the client the best custom cabinet project.

Winter admits they are not the cheapest in the business, but with great confidence, he makes it very clear that they are the best.

"We are the guys that people come to when they want to have a quality product at

a fair price. We're big enough to accommodate schedules of any size project. We have a great team with a high skill set but we keep it old school enough to do real cabinetry. The fact that we do it all in-house sets us apart. We use true old school engineering and tooling," said Winter.

From complete new construction homes to kitchen and bathrooms remodels, Fine Wood Design can provide custom cabinets to any room or space you need.

"We have the whole package. We design it, we do CAD engineer drawings, we build

Is your door hard to open?

it, we finish it and we install it," said Winter. "We primarily use a lot of maple, but we can use any wood, from walnut to mahogany. Because we have an in-house finish team, we are pretty much able to match any type of finish customers may want."

Fine Wood Design offers free consultation with a meet and greet to determine what the

customers wants are and to go over their budget.

"I have mixed the English and American get-it-done kind of way and put out a stronger product at a good price to make sure we please all of our customers," said Winter. "We are fully involved with the client from the very beginning. Getting the needs of the client and being able to meet their budget and make sure they are very happy with their custom cabinets is very important to us."
