Twelve Bars of Christmas:
Beer For Tots


Gulfport Sewer
Repair Q & A
By Cathy Salustri
If Gulfport city council approves a loan
for several million dollars, the city could
start getting new sanitary sewers as
soon as this April. Because the repairing
and replacing sewer pipes throughout
the city will affect everyone in Gulfport,
the Gabber asked the city's public works
director, Don Sopak, to explain about the
loan and the imminent repairs. Below is
what we learned.

What needs to be done
to the sewers?
Gulfport's sewer system has about
224,500 linear feet (collection pipes)
ranging in size from 8" to 24" in diameter
as well as about 900 manholes (with an
average depth of 12 feet). Some manholes
have minor leakage while others teeter
close to structural failure.
INI.-1 of this system is over 50 years
old, effectively exceeding the normal life
expectancy for this type of system," Mr.
Sopak says. "Metered flow records...
See Sewers, page 27


Eric and Beth Shutrump show their support for kids by
dressing as "The Frosties" at the fifth annual 12 Bars of
Christmas. The event takes holiday revelers to 12 bars on
St. Pete Beach, but only if they bring a new, unwrapped
gift for Toys For Tots. Attendees also had to buy their own
drinks and come in a holiday-themed costume. While the
Shutrumps newlyweds as of this past September went
the traditional snow couple route, other charity-minded
drinkers donned costumes that ran the gamut, from a
board-shorted Santa to a man dressed in a pink bunny
rabbit suit a la Ralphie from "A Christmas Story".


Santa to Gulfport: "Let's Do Brunch"
Isadora Pendygraft high-fives
Santa at the Gulfport Little
League brunch Saturday morning.

At Pia's Trattoria Saturday
morning, Santa took time from
his bustling holiday schedule
Saturday to brunch with
some of Gulfport's youngest
residents. The trattoria
donated the food and staff, so
all the money collected from
the brunch went directly to
Gulfport Little League.
According to one Little
League volunteer, Jan Lowe,
the monies collected will help
repair kitchen equipment in
the clubhouse and buy new
sports equipment.

Correction: Bob
Williams to Retire
The Gabber offers its sincerest
apologies to Gulfport's Parks and
Recreation Supervisor Bob Wiliams
for the erroneous headline in last
week's Gabber, which not only
incorrectly identified Mr. Wiliams
as the Leisure Services Director,
but also stated that Mr. Williams
had resigned. Mr. Williams
announced his retirement after
35 laudable years with the city.
The Gabber regrets the error and
wishes to commend Mr. Williams
on his service to Gulfport.

The Gulfport Community Players

by Steve Franco, entitled "Inlaws,
Outlaws, and Other People (That
Should Be Shot)" on January 9th at
the Catherine A. Hickman Theater.
This Theater is located at 26th Ave.
S. and Beach Blvd. The show will

is being directed by Jim Cartwright
and produced by Eileen Navarro.
This holiday comedy is just the
play to see even after the holidays.
It takes place in Brooklyn, NY,
during an annual Christmas dinner
of the Douglas family. As the family
is preparing for the annual invasion
of their eccentric relatives, there's
a knock on the door. Thinking this
is just some more of their slightly
weird relatives, they open the door.
But, instead of more relatives, they
come face to face with two guys who
have just robbed a neighborhood
liquor store and are looking for a

the family hostage, or at least it
seems that way at first! More quirky
relatives soon arrive to join the
fracas and are also taken hostage by
these "desperate" robbers.
That's when the real fun begins!
With smart-mouthed teenagers,
nosy neighbors, and the constant
bickering among the adult relatives,
one begins to wonder exactly who
really has been taken hostage!

How to Handle On-
Board Emergencies
Boating is intended to be
challenging, but fun. Inevitably,
no matter how careful the skipper
and crew, emergencies will happen.
Each boater must be prepared to
protect the people and equipment
involved should an emergency arise.
The St. Petersburg Sail and Power
Squadron is presenting a two hour
seminar, "Emergencies on Board"
on Wednesday, January 15th, 2014
from 7-9 p.m. to acquaint boaters
with the actions necessary to cope


with the most common difficulties.
Available to anyone 12 or older,
it deals with both preparing for
and managing emergencies like:
accident prevention; emergency
calls and signals; running aground;
man overboard; fire; loss of power;
medical conditions; steering failure
and getting lost. Gather your crew to
build your prevention and response
team.
Course will be held on Wednesday,
January 15th from 7-9 p.m. at the
St. Petersburg Sailing Center, 250
Second Avenue SE, Demens Landing
in St. Petersburg. Instruction is free,

waterfront in what is recognized as
the first commercial airline flight in

Tampa Bay landed in Tampa. Tony
Jannus was the pilot and Mr. Phiel
was the passenger, who as a former
mayor and paid $400 at an auction
for the ticket. The airplane was the
Benoist Airboat with an average
airspeed of 60 mph. That flight has
since become known as "The Birth of
the Global Airline Industry." In 1984,
a similar Celebration took place to
recognize the 75th Anniversary of
the 1914 Flight.
On January 1, 2014, there will be
a Centennial Celebration of the
Jannus/Phiel flight. It will take place

If you have ever considered that maybe Bankruptcy would
be the answer to a fresh and new start in life, now is the
time to find out. Call us for a free consultation and see the
"..legal solutions for your future.." 727-209-0744

Attorney Keith Sanders, Handles
Foreclosure Defense and Bankruptcies
with Experience and Sensitivity


ou could say my
Smotto is 'been there,
-- done that'," says Keith
Sanders, from Sanders
Law, P.A.
He says that for two
reasons. First, he says his
more than 20 years of
experience as an attorney
specializing in handling
"literally thousands" of
bankruptcies means that he
has dealt with virtually any
kind of problem or issue that
might arise with them. And,
secondly, he had to file a
Chapter 13 bankruptcy
himself. He says that
experience makes him very
sensitive to the kinds of
things people face when
making the difficult decision
to file.
"Most attorneys have
never been in a situation
where they have been
worried about how to keep
the lights on, but I have been
there myself so I can really
relate to what people are
going through," said
Sanders. "Plus, many people
are very embarrassed when
they come to me, but when I
tell them how embarrassing
it was for me to have to stand
in front of judges and
colleagues who knew me and
go through the process
myself, that usually helps to
put people more at ease and
understand that I have been
there and done that
MYSELF."


"You know, in 99 percent of
bankruptcy cases the
situation is that bad things
happen to good people. They
have gone through an
expensive health crisis or a
divorce or just got in over
their head with debt."
He began his career as a
staff attorney for the U.S.
Department of Justice in
Atlanta. He is licensed to
practice law in both Florida
and Georgia.
"I like what I do because I
feel like I can help people get
a fresh start," said Sanders.
"Since the initial
consultation is free, you really
don't have anything to lose to
meet with me and we can
assess your situation and see
how it might be best for you to
proceed. Bankruptcy can
be one solution to getting
back on your feet
financially, but it may not
be the best or only
solution for you.
Sanders has held a number
of seminars and written
professional papers
concerning bankruptcy law in
general, ECF requirements
and new issues. He is a
former director of the
Bankruptcy Section of the
State Bar of Georgia.
The firm also handles
Short Sale negotiations,
defense against foreclosures,
wills & trusts, civil litigation
and personal injury.

PROTECTION
V 4 4 . &


Despite what you may
have read or heard
recently, any debt
discharged in
Bankruptcy is a non
taxable event as far as the
IRS is concerned.
We understand this is not
an easy process or
concept to grasp. We
would like an opportunity
to explain in depth and in
terms that are relatable to
you, the homeowner, just
what this means and how
it could be of benefit to
you and your future.
Every situation is differ-
ent and therefore has a
different solution, so
please call us and let us
discuss what is best for
you, and then you can
decide what course to
take. Remember there
are "LEGAL SOLUTIONS
FOR YOUR FUTURE" and
we would like the chance
to show those to you.
Only you can make the call.

com. Color codes represent wait times
as follows: Green indicates a wait
time less than 20 minutes; yellow, 20
to 40 minutes; and red, more than 40
minutes.

BBB Offers Advice on
Target Security Breach
Better Business Bureau has some
suggestions for Target customers who
are concerned that their credit or debit
cards may have been compromised
by the data breach announced by the
retailer this morning.
"First of all, if you used a credit
card at Target in the past few weeks,
don't panic," advises Carrie Hurt,
President and CEO of the Council
of Better Business Bureaus. "You
are not liable for any fraudulent
charges on your account, and there
are some simple things you can do
to make sure your card was not used
fraudulently."



I- IIt


"Target has already issued a warning
for consumers and is working with
banks and credit card issuers to
alert them to which numbers were
stolen," Hurt added. "You can expect
to hear from your bank if your card
information is identified as having
been compromised, and you can
always call the customer service
number on your card if you have a
question."
BBB suggests the following advice.
For those who shopped at Target
with a credit card:
Monitor your credit card statements
carefully (go online; don't wait for the
paper statement).
If you see a fraudulent charge,
report it to your bank or credit card

issuer immediately so the charge can
be reversed and a new card issued.
Keep receipts in case you need to
prove which charges you authorized
and which ones you did not.
For those who shopped at Target
with a debit card:
Do all of the above as for credit
cards, but pay very careful attention
to your account, as debit cards do
not have the same protections as
credit cards and debit transactions
withdraw funds directly from your
bank account.
Contact your bank for more
information, or if you want to pre-
emptively request a new debit card or
put a security block on your account.
For everyone, not just those who
shopped at Target:
Beware of scammers who will
likely use this highly public event to
purport to be from Target, your bank
or your credit card issuer, telling
you that your card was compromised
and suggesting actions to "fix" the
problem.
Check before you click. Phishing
emails may attempt to fool you
into providing your credit card
information or ask you to click on a
link or open an attachment, which
can download malware designed to
steal your identity.
Don't click on any email links or
attachments unless you are absolutely
certain the sender is authentic.
For all businesses that collect
customer information:
Make sure you protect your
customers' data. If a data breach
can happen to a major retailer with
significant data security measures in
place, it can happen to any business.
Check out BBB's updated online
guide Data Security -Made Simpler
for free information on how to create
a data security plan.
Note: Target is a BBB Accredited
Business and a National Partner
of the Council of Better Business
Bureaus.

Sewers, from front page
indicate that about 1/3 of the total
flow can be attributed to infiltration
and inflow."
That means that Gulfport's sewers
and manholes are no longer a closed
system, and things can leak in and
out. To prevent future overflows of
sewage, environmental damage to
the bay and Clam Bayou and health
hazards, "rehabilitation of the
system is needed," Mr. Sopak says.
Repairs will save the city money
as well. The water that leaks into
the city's sewage system travels to
a treatment facility that charges the
city by the gallon for treatment.
"In view of the fact that the City will
be faced with increased treatment
charges in 2017, the need for repairs
and upgrades in the system is
critical," Mr. Sopak says.

How much will all
the repairs cost?
An estimated $4.5 million. (Find an
extended explanation of the costs at
TheGabber.com.)
What is the average
cost per household?
Residents will not an assessment or
charge for these improvements.

When do repairs start?
If the council approves the loan,
work will begin in April 2014.

How long will the
work take?
The work should be completed by
April 2016.

How will the loan work?
The city will finance the repairs
over a 20-year term. The state will
guarantee the rate at 2.5%.
Gulfport will secure the loan with the
money it collects from customers.
The loan is to be secured by the gross
revenues derived yearly from the
operation of the water andwastewater
utilities system (the City's Water and
Sewer Fund) after payment of the
operation and maintenance expense
and the satisfaction of all yearly
payment obligations on account of
the senior revenue obligations and
revenues of the Local Option Sales


Tax (Penny For Pinellas), which can
be utilized to pay the loan back..

How much will it smell
during the repairs?
There should be no sewer smell.

How will the city control
the health hazards
when workers remove
sewer pipes?
Will we see used
sewer pipes out on our
streets overnight?
Most of the repairs will take place
underground and no old pipes should
be stored overnight.

Should we keep our
animals and kids inside?
The work on the sewer system will
not affect kids or animals.

Will all our roads get
torn up at once?
Since most of the work will take
place underground, no.

What about brick streets?
Are they involved and
will the city replace the
brick or pave over it?
If repairs can't happen underground,
wherever the city (or its contractor)
must dig, Mr. Sopak assures residents
"the roadway will be restored to its
original condition."

Do the repairs include any
work on my property? Will
you tear up my yard?
No work will be performed on
private property; only in the right
of ways. This may include portions
of someone's landscape, as the city
right of ways often extend past the
street.


Will we be able to use
our toilets, sinks and
showers during the repairs
and replacements?
Yes, because the city will make sure
the sewage in the area under repair
gets bypassed to a functioning sewer
pipe. If the city performs smoke
testing, homes without appropriate
plumbing fixtures may have some
smoke in them. The city will notify
all residents before performing work
in their area.

Doesn't the public
works department make
more money than it
needs every year?
Why do we need to borrow
the money if the sewer
department turn a profit?
Although Gulfport's utilities
department often collects more
money than it spends, it does not
have enough money to fund large-
scale capital improvements. In past
years, the city has used excess money
collected from customers to balance
the budget. It has also budgeted to
begin a sewer repair program, but
such repairs cannot keep up with
the sewer system at the rate it is
failing. Again, Mr. Sopak reminds
people, the pipes have exceeded their
expectancy.
Will my sewer rates
or taxes increase
because of the loan?
Property taxes don't pay for sewer
projects: utility rates do. The city
bases those rates on its contract with
St. Petersburg, as St. Petersburg
treats Gulfport's sewage.

t tiIoroscope Guide


By Holiday Mathis
The end of the year brings a
duet between the sun and Mercury,
both in Capricorn. These luminaries
sing of our hopes for the new year
even as they wonder whether the
responsibilities we take on will
be enough to bring those hopes
into reality. Mercury then invites
Uranus in Aries to join in the chorus,
and that's when the arrangement
becomes dissonant. Stay positive --
interruptions and challenges only
make for a better story later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
One school of thought is that at
the very moment you want to quit,
you're almost there. Another school
of thought is to follow your intuitive
signals: If you want to quit, there's
probably a pretty good reason for
it. Why suffer needlessly? Trust
yourself instead of being inflexibly
tied to your original idea.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
While loved ones go gaga for a new
person or trend, you will likely
remain unimpressed. You can't help
it that you have excellent taste, a
large body of experience to draw
from and a purpose that keeps you
from being distracted by every shiny
new development that comes along.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Those
with low self-esteem often blame
themselves for things that were
never their fault in the first place,
and everyone assumes the blame has
been correctly assigned. You'll see
this dynamic at work this week. You
know better. Do something about it.
If you don't right the balance and
alleviate suffering, no one will.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
have returned from a quest to claim
your new position. It's not a throne
exactly; you have no desire to rule
over others. Still, there is a place for
you to assert what you know. You
feel a responsibility to help those
who are less experienced. They
haven't seen what you have seen,
and they need a guide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Think of what would happen if
Earth were any more attracted to


the sun than it is. It would orbit too
close, the atmosphere would burn
up, and nothing could live on this
blue marble of a planet. Apply this
principle to your love life. The health
of a relationship depends solely on
the degree of attraction you feel for
someone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
want to see justice done, and you are
in a position to execute it this week.
Balancing things out will require a
process of redistribution. The vessel
in question may be a heart, stomach
or wallet. If it's empty, you'll fill it,
and if it's full, you'll take some and
pass it around.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's
relaxation and celebration for the
next few days. Then at the start
of the new year, you will waste no
time in getting busy. You will prove
your stellar leadership ability by
surrounding yourself with people
who have specialized expertise and a
kind of intelligence that is different
from your own.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You hate
to feel on-edge, so you'll do the
things necessary to center yourself
and get emotionally stable. You'll
schedule self-care and arrange to be
in situations that calm and comfort
you. Would you believe that some
people live their lives on the verge of
tears? One such person will impact
your week.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A dry
spell will end in a big way. The first
drops of "water" will start a flood.
Are you ready to be up to your ears
in the thing you've been lacking
for so long? If not, the beginning of
the week is for preparing yourself.
Think ahead, and make necessary
arrangements and purchases.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The trials
and tribulations of long ago still
seem to be influencing your current
scene, though in mostly positive
ways. The people you'll deal with are
stronger and more organized and
capable because of what they had to
deal with back then. There are also
more rules to follow -- inconvenient
for you, but necessary.


SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Everything requires maintenance.
Health, relationships andpossessions
all take time, energy and money to
keep in tip-top shape. Of course, you
can't predict everything that will
happen, but do try to avoid getting
into things that you won't be able to
maintain at the neediest point of the
cycle.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You wanted a change, and suddenly
it's happening for you. Normally, you
would find a slow transformation
interesting, but in this particular
case, you're not trying to make
a study of it. You just want to get
through the process quickly and be
on the other side, and that's the way
it will be.
This Week's Birthdays: You'll
invest in your home in January
and add more value in September.
Someone new craves your attention
in February. Accept the career
challenge in March. It won't be
an easy road, but with a mix of
creativity and tenacity, you could
be the winner. Investigate extended
family and reconnect -- there are
benefits to discovering your roots.
Give children guidance in June,
and they will make you proud much
later.

Gya met ah' Oh my mind
A ra By Bill Northrop BNorthrop@theGabber.com


Enjoying Christmas
It's Christmas. It's not Santa Claus
time or Santa Claus season. It's not
about Christmas trees although it
is about presents and giving and
sharing.., and caring. Trees and
lights and displays and shopping
and parties and all the extraneous
activities, however stressful and
distracting, are symbols and
manifestations of a celebration of the
birth of Jesus Christ.
That's it in a nutshell. It is a
religious celebration regardless
what you believe in or whether
you believe. And, it's a nationally
recognized holiday (meaning Holy
Day) even though not all citizens are
Christian and there is no government
established religion in this country.
However, you can celebrate or
observe or not. You can also celebrate
without believing or taking part in
any religious ceremonies, explicit or
tacit. Some places you can work on
Christmas Day if you want. Or, if


you are a business, no law says you
must close or stay open. In other
words, observe, take part, go along,
ignore, forget about, or even oppose.
Each has a freedom to do as he or
she chooses and government won't
interfere.
Of course, as a nation we could
choose not to observe any holidays,
particularly religious ones. No point
in Christmas vacations for schools, or
a specific day off and so forth. Note
that Easter isn't a national holiday.
We can do anything we want with
holidays (used generically). Note
that founder James Madison once
commented that government should
"take no cognizance of religion". At
least, I think that's the quote.
Along those lines, an atheist group
in New York City, on a large billboard
advertisement, declared that it
was time to get rid of the Christ in
Christmas. By definition that would
be a bit ridiculous, but we could
rename it. Winter solstice maybe.
Fine, make it a vacation period much

like the European August vacation
time. Instead of gathering with family
and friends we could scatter across
the country and churches could vie
for the attention. At least for now, I
think the churches would win.
Whatever. Each year we go
through these arguments. Groups
oppose manger scenes on public
property. Clergy complain about
the commercialization of Christmas.
Schools rid the halls of Christmas
carols and religious symbols even
while promoting "seasonal" pageants.
Why? What's the point if it isn't about
Christmas?
In the end, however, it boils down to
what each one of us does. If a manger
scene is important to you, put one
in your yard, or balcony. Or, place a
Christian symbol on your clothing,
or your car. Same thing for a Cross.
Display it personally. Don't force the
government to do it. Yes, this country
had a religious or at least a "belief"
basis at its founding. Think "Creator"
as the basis of all individual rights.
Then think how government can
mess that up.
I don't want to scour our government
of all religious notes and I don't want
to eliminate Christmas as a national
holiday. On the other hand, let the
hand of government have only the
lightest touch on our religions. Do we
really want government involved in
our religions?
So, enjoy your Christmas holiday
and do it your way. Merry Christmas
to you all.

How to Win the Balance
Transfer Game
There's nothing fun about credit-
card debt. An outstanding balance
of $5,000 that is subject to 19.99
percent interest means you're paying
about $1,000 a year just in interest.
Imagine if that $1,000 could go
directly to repaying the balance
instead. You could pay it off in record
time instead of stringing it out for
many years.
If you're carrying credit-card debt,
playing the balance transfer game
could be the way out of your heavy
debt situation. Just beware: There
are pitfalls in the balance transfer
game that, if not avoided, could end
up making your situation worse, not
better.
Playing the balance transfer game
well requires financial maturity and
personal discipline. Are you up to it?
Should you wish to play, you'll need
to adopt this strategy to come out a
winner:
Find a balance transfer credit
card application. You want one
that offers at least 15 months of 0
percent interest, has no annual fee
and a small, if any, balance transfer.
Search at IndexCreditCards.com.
Fine print. Read the application
very carefully. Know exactly what
is in the terms and conditions before
you apply.
Divide to conquer. Once you have
the account and you transfer the
balance, divide your outstanding
balance by the number of months in
the 0 percent introductory period.
Lock eyeballs on that number. That
is the amount you must pay each
month for this to work.
Do not use the new card. This
account is for one thing only -- to
facilitate paying the balance to $0.
Cancel the account from which you
transferred the balance. Just close it
and do not look back. Yes, this could
knock a few points off your credit
score for a few months. But paying
off the new account quickly will help
to recover those points.
Sounds easy enough, but let's not
fool ourselves. Paying the balance
quickly is going to take a lot of hard


Gabber December 26, 2013 -January 1, 2014


S!heap$kate
work and discipline. And there are
pitfalls you must avoid:
Switcheroo. The terms and
conditions will state that you may
not qualify for the account for which
you are applying, and in which case
the bank may offer you a different
account. This could be a big problem
if you do not notice and then go
ahead and transfer your balances to
that account that may not have $0
interest and may also be subject to
huge transfer fees. If this happens,
you are not obligated to accept a
different account.
Double trouble. If you fail to close
the first account once you transfer the


entire balance, prepare for trouble.
Emergencies happen, and if you keep
that account active, you'll find a way
to use that account for something.
Gradually the balance will creep
back to what it was before.
Transfer fees. Ideally, you will find a
balance transfer account that has $0
transfer fees. They do exist, but you
have to search. Most have a transfer
fee of $5 or 3 percent of the balance
transferred, whichever is more.
Pulling off a credit-card balance
transfer can offer a fabulous
opportunity to pay off your credit-
card debt. But it requires a steady
hand a strong mind. You must
be focused, determined and fully
committed to a strategy that gives
you the best chance at winning the
game.

Tips to Keep Pets Safe
The holiday season is a time for fun
with family and friends, but Pinellas
County Animal Services reminds
members of the community not to
forget pets at this time of year.
Securely anchor your Christmas
tree so it doesn't tip and fall, causing
possible injury to your pet. This will
also prevent the tree water-which
may contain fertilizers that can
cause stomach upset-from spilling.
Stagnant tree water is a breeding
ground for bacteria and your pet
could end up with nausea or diarrhea
if consumed.
* Kitties love tinsel- sparkly, light-
catching "toys" that is easy to bat
around and carry in their mouths.
But a nibble can lead to a swallow,
which can lead to an obstructed
digestive tract, severe vomiting,
dehydration and possible surgery.
It's best to brighten your holidays
with something other than tinsel.
Do not feed your pets chocolate
or anything sweetened with xylitol.
Make sure to keep your pets away
from the table and unattended food,
and be sure to secure the lids on
garbage cans.
Forget the holly and mistletoe.
Holly, wheningested, can cause pets to
suffer nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Mistletoe can cause gastrointestinal
upset and cardiovascular problems..
Hold the leftovers. Fatty, spicy
and other human foods should not be
fed to your furry friends. Bones from
cooked meals cannot be digested and
can cause serious and even deadly
problems for dogs and cats.
Don't leave lighted candles
unattended. Pets may burn


themselves or cause a fire if they
knock candles over. Be sure to use
appropriate candle holders, placed
on a stable surface. If you leave the
room, put the candle out.
SIf your celebration includes
adult holiday beverages, be sure
to place your unattended alcoholic
drinks where pets cannot get them.
If ingested, your pet could become
weak, ill and may even go into a
coma, possibly resulting in death
from respiratory failure.
* Give your pet their own quite space
to retreat-complete with fresh water
and a place to snuggle. Shy pups and
cats might want to hide out under


a piece of furniture, in their carrier
or in a separate room away from the
excitement.
As you count down to the New
Year please keep in mind that strings
of thrown confetti can get lodged in a
cat's intestine, if ingested, requiring
surgery. Noisy poppers and fireworks
can terrify pets and cause possible
damage to sensitive ears.
To learn more about the shelter,
visit www.pinellascounty.org/

The lost or found pets hotline is 727-
582-2604.

You & THE


LAWVk

By Robert J. Myers, Esq.
How is your Legal
Health? (Part II)
In our last article, the need
for periodic legal checkups was
examined. The following are some
of the legal problems which may be
uncovered by a legal checkup:
WILLS AND ESTATE
PLANNING
An indicator of good legal health
usually includes having a valid will
and some basic estate plan. If you
don't have a will, your personal and
real property may not be distributed
in accordance with your desires. In
addition, unnecessary expenses and


taxes may be incurred and certain
family members could possibly
inherit your assets contrary to your
desires.
A trust is another effective estate
planning document. A trust allows
you to transfer property to your
designated heirs utilizing a successor
trustee to implement your specific
instructions. If you create a trust
in a last will and testament, this is
called a testamentary trust. Another
form of trust is a living trust which
is created by written contract. Living
trusts are very useful estate planning
tools for everyone--not only the very
wealthy. A living trust assists in the
avoidance of probate and will help in
keeping your affairs out of the public
record and private.
It is critical to review your estate
planning documents whenever
important changes in your life occur.
If you marry, move to a new state,
have a child or lose a loved one, an
update of your legal documents may


be necessary. Also, it is an excellent
idea to discuss with your lawyer
if your estate plan is keeping pace
with the value of your property and
is updated to address changes in
Florida law and tax laws. Revisions
may be made with the drafting of
new documents or an amendment
to existing documents may be
necessary. It is important to never
make a change in your old will or
trust by writing on or crossing out
words or phrases which you want
to eliminate as this may invalidate
your documents.
DIVORCE
A lawyer should be consulted if
your marriage is ending or you
are contemplating ending your
marriage. Issues concerning child
custody, financial support and a
fair division of the marital property
will need to be addressed. If your
spouse threatens to harass or harm
you, hide marital property or take
your children in violation of your
visitation or custody rights, a lawyer
can assist you in seeking protection
against these improper acts of your
spouse.
Mr. Myers is the owner of Akerson
Law Offices which is located at
1135 Pasadena Avenue South, Suite
140, St. Petersburg, Florida. The
telephone number is 727-347-5131.
Mr. Myers welcomes calls regarding
this article and other related legal
topics. This column outlines general
legal principles and is not intended
to give you legal advice. If you have
a specific question about the law,
please consult an attorney.

A Bazaar Holiday


By Cathy Salustri

e s Moe McCook mails a






-we--- Byor ChitateBzarrnotoCtmsathy Salusotman
last-minute package
from Gulfport's
Beach Bazaar on
w rolls'.... ,,,...'L:::... ... 1.... .... '
M ... ".... .................. noon Saturday,
su r la shortly before the
last pickup of the
day. Owner Angela
Lagan said the
Bazaar ran through
an unexpected
amount of stamps.


The "shop local" mindset took the Beach Bazaar by storm this holiday season.
Owner Angela Lagan took over the Bazaar last year the day after Christmas,
so she didn't know quite what to expect this holiday season.
The week before Christmas, the Bazaar ran out of stamps and had so many
outgoing packages that the postman had to make a return trip. Despite some
customers' concern their package would arrive late, Ms. Laganb assures
shippers that all packages that came in to the contract post office shipped at
the scheduled pickup time, even if the postman had to ring twice.
The Saturday before Christmas, the post office had plenty of stamps to go
around, although Ms.Lagan admits they did sell out unexpectedly.
"Who knew Gulfport could run through a month's of stamps in nine days? It
was 30 rolls, 2001.....I-' she laughed.
Some customers shopped local for stamps and shipping not out of a desire to
support local business, but because they felt they received prompter service at
the Gulfport post office.
N.,I... Iy wants to go to the other post office. You have to wait too long,"
Margie Sharland in South Padasena said.










Hard Candy.

KA rtP' ByCathy Salustri


Resolved
I don't make resolutions. Mostly, I
don't make them because I don't
believe there's one day where
you can make sweeping changes to
your life at least, not successfully.
It doesn't seem practical to revamp
things all at one time.
But for cities? (i.in,.- can and
often times, should come in grand,
sweeping gestures.
For those of you who can't get enough
of Facebook, hop over to the Gabber's
Facebook group, Gulfport Ideas and
Opinions. There you will read (among
other things) a lot of chatter about
what Gulfport can do better. Yes,
some people post there for what I
would assume to be their sole purpose
of proving that they cannot properly
differentiate between their posteriors
and a hole in the ground.
For most people, though, I'm reading
and hearing a shift in Gulfport's
mentality. We are no longer the
rathole by the bay where people
move to have low rent shacks or, as
happened 30 years ago, people came
to buy booze after other cities stopped
selling alcohol. We are an option for
new families. We still have retirees,
yes, but we have younger people, too.
Last Saturday morning at "Brunch
with Santa" I was no longer the
youngest person in town without
homework, not by a long shot.
So since Gulfport has changed, at
some point, should it have resolutions?
I still cringe at the word, but I don't
think it's a bad idea to think about
our future. Since it's impractical for
city management to do so and expect
those goals to outlast the next election,
I thought I'd give us all a list on which
we could build. So here they are: my
non-resolutions for Gulfport.
1. Fix the damn sewers already.
Seriously, I understandwe've "always"
been a debt-free city, but if we don't
do something soon, I fear we'll turn
into Venice. I'm all about boating, but
not through rivers of human waste.
2. Quit trying to copy the
beaches. We will never, ever, ever be
a beach like Pass-a-Grille or St. Pete
Beach. Ever. Give it up. However,
Gabber December 26, 2013 -January 1,


look at St. Petersburg's waterfront:
public access, marinas, trails, and
commerce. Yes, I said it: commerce.
I cannot say enough that I favor a
Coney Island-style setup on the beach.
Build a boardwalk, add a ferris wheel
or merry-go-round, and bring on more
boat races and vending activities that
capitalize on our waterfront. How do
we pay for it? Lease the space, with
heavyregulation. Right now, the beach
makes us almost no money. Let's look
at monetizing our waterfront with an
eye, of course, to the environment.
3. Do something real for families.
Our playgrounds are great, and so are
some of our rec center programs, but
let's think more about kids. With so
many artists in town, how do we not
have more art programs at the rec
center? What about soccer leagues
or a city-run volleyball program? I'm
not an athlete (catch me running one
morning and you'll see what I mean),
but I do know that sports help kids,
and since we seem to have more and
more of the little creatures lining our
streets, it probably wouldn't hurt to
give them something to do.
4. Implement real art programs.
Could someone tell me how St. Pete
Beach and not Gulfport has a facility
like Suntan Arts Center that offers
all means of art classes? And don't
point to the building; Gulfport also
leases a city building to an arts group
at a much better rate than St. Pete
Beach gives Suntan, and so far I can't
register for a drawing or pottery class.
Why?
5. Take care of Clam Bayou.
Yeah, yeah, I know. You're all tired
of hearing about Clam Bayou. Too
bad. If you want me to stop talking,
call your council member and tell
them to adopt a management plan
that includes water quality testing,
public education about the bayou,
and perhaps even a plan whereby the
city takes the state project a step or
two further and buys back dredged
land to become part of the bayou. It
worked, it seems, on the St. Pete side.
Want to know more? Start with a
paddle through Clam Bayou; looking
at it from the bike trail or someone's


back yard doesn't show you the whole
picture.
6. Deal with crime on 49th Street.
I want to stop hearing how Gulfport
and St. Petersburg can't seem to agree
on the priority level for dealing with
crime on 49th Street, and I swear to
the god of chickens and ducks that if
one more person calls it a "perception"
of crime they are going to "perceive"
my foot in their uh, maybe I
shouldn't go there. But St. Pete has
a new mayor and his communications
director lives in Gulfport, so I hope
we can actually start to talk about
the punitive damages St. Pete's
inattention to 49th Street has done to
Gulfport businesses and residents. I'm
also hoping that St. Pete's exorbitant
tax rate allows Mayor Kriseman to
hire more people to police the corridor
and help the residents on his side of
the street rise above the fear they live
with day to day.
7. Stop thinking poor. I know
that some folks read this list and
throw up their hands in frustration,
saying, "Great, Cathy, but how do we
pay for all these things?" Here's my
answer: Fees for services and, where
warranted, higher taxes. I could
sugar coat that, I guess, but why
bother? I can tell you this: I'm tired of
feeling like we're a "poor" city and we
have to subsidize everything for our
residents. Yes, I want us all to enjoy a
great quality of life, but beyond public
safety and public access to the library
and parks, I don't see why we have to
make everything free all the time, for
everyone. It's OK to charge for things,
Gulfport. Not all of us are poor. Some
of us have worked very, very hard not
to be poor and resent being treated
like we live in a welfare city. In all
my years in talking to people about
Gulfport, not one person has said to
me they moved here for the low tax
rate or how many free programs the
city offered.
It's time to evolve, Gulfport. Are we
resolved to evolve together, or do we
want to live in the past?

resolutions on the Gabber's

Put Your Pet in Good Hands While You are Away


Cuiifuriing and Care are more
than just words on my website and
business cards. They describe what
Tracey's (oinfornina Care. A Pet-
Sitting Service
provides. I, "Heuring hth p
Tracey Young,
started provid- regarding hou
ing pet care of their fur-ba
services profes- tinue to request
sionally earlier
Searlie are the bigge,
this year after
i, iiit had the doing
privilege of ex-
periencing the unconditional love
my fur-babies have provided me my
entire life. If I did not have bills, I
would help pet parents with their
fur-babies free-of-charge. After 10+
years of working as a mental ht-alih
ih-r,-ip.i, 1 needed a change, but I
still wanted to provide a service to
the community for which I saw a
need.
As the sole provider in Tiac-.'s
Comforting Care. I assist parents
who need someone to take care of
their fur-babies (or fur-less, like
fish, etc.) while they are out-of-town,
when i h-y work long hours, when
h, are unable to %nik their rng-
or when they do not have anyone to
let their log out or walk thc-ir dt-g(.
M% services arc r.a;i-n.ihby priced,
and th-ugh my website states that
the visits are only 30 minutes, I
have and will continue to spend a
kiii-nger qu:ili killedd time ibll your
fur-babies. Our furry children are
social creatures and need some form
of Lu 1f iiimng care themselves. And,
1pr,., idin t i-i c. re in your fur-baby's
own home where he/she is comfort-
able is less traumatic for your givers
of unconditional love than a kennel
normally would be.
Currently, as one of two parents of
2 dogs and 3 cats, I understand the
needs and different personalities
each I"ur-lbihy has. Some of ni. big.
wi,-.t compliments have been having
a cat come out of hiiding when the
pet-parent warned that I would nev-
er see the pet and having a dog like
me when I was told that she would
snarl at me at first. But. hearing the
praise of the pet parents regarding
how well I have taken care of their
fur-babies and how they continue to

about their children. To further ease
any worries, I am a member of P.l
Sitter Associates and am insured


and bonded. Living in Gulfpuii,. I
primarily help pet parents who live
in Southern Pinellas Counmti, but I
do not turn down a parent in need,
unless the drive would cost me more
than any money provided.
If you would like to consider my
help, please contact me for a free
meeting at a time and place that is
comfortable for you and your pet(s).
I do not charge extra for holidays or
for extra pets. M. goal is to provide
you and your fur-babies Ciu f.rtLinig
Care at a low price, but with a big
heart, treating your children as I LL
as I treat my own.
