6 • NOVEMBER 2019 UNIVERSITY PALM LAKEWOOD LEDGER Hazel Tarr Animal Communication Facilitator

rom an early age, Hazel realized her strong spiritual con nec tion with Fall animals and sensed her ability to communicate with them. Knowing this is her true passion, she loves being able to communicate with the animals and sharing with their humans what they want us to know. She is also able to communicate with both living and transitioned pets. She has studied with Carol Gurney of the Gurney Institute for Animal Com- munication, as well as local animal communicators to further hone her gift. While animal communication has, in recent years, experienced a global reach as more and more pet owners around the world want to better under- stand their animal companions, here on the Suncoast—and across the coun- try—Hazel Tarr, a local animal communication facilitator, has parlayed a lifelong affinity with animals to help pet owners discover the thoughts and desires of their furry family members. “In my little corner of the world, animal communication is what I can do to brighten the lives of the pet owners with whom I work. For me, it is an amazing opportunity to help meet the needs of animals and nurture their well-being.” —Excerpt from One on One with Hazel Tarr, Animal Communicator, in the March/April 2019 issue of Suncoast Pet Hazel Tarr • 614-595-8094 • [email protected] www.animalcommunicationwithhazeltarr.com

MONTGOMERY’S CARPETS PLUS I loved my new home, but not the flooring. Thankfully I found Montgomery’s. I spoke with the team, and they had exactly what I was looking for! I was so pleased, we looked at some of their options for other areas of our home, and we ended up getting some vinyl flooring for our bonus room and new carpet for my “she shed” as well. I’m so glad I didn’t settle for the limited options at the big box stores. Montgomery’s has a great selection of high-quality products at very good prices. For flooring, I won’t go anywhere else. ~Regina Black

UNIVERSITY PALM LAKEWOOD LEDGER NOVEMBER 2019 • 7 Jeff Young, Attorney at Law e Young was born and raised in the Sarasota area. He grew up in Ven- Jice and attended school in Venice, graduating from Venice High. Mr. Young moved to Orlando to attend the University of Central Florida in 1996, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He received his law degree from Washburn University School of Law, a prestigious private school located in Topeka, Kan. Upon graduating, he returned to the Sarasota area that he knows and loves. Mr. Young joined the State Attorney’s Office where he litigated hundreds of both felony and misdemeanor cases. In his six years as a prosecutor in Sarasota and Manatee counties, he successfully handled and tried cases ranging from, drug trafficking, sexual battery, white collar crime, and violent crime to a broad spec- trum of general DUI and drug offenses. That experience allowed him to become familiar with local rules, legal counsel, judicial process and law enforcement members and techniques. Since leaving the State Attorney’s Office and going into private practice, Mr. Young has successfully litigated numerous cases in family law, civil law, land- lord/ tenant, contract disputes, bankruptcy, and many others. His main area of practice remains criminal, as well as a significant amount of work in foreclosure defense. For more than seven years now, he has been heavily engaged in litigating with banks in order to keep people in their homes. As a lifelong local resident, he un- derstands the importance of home ownership and living in this area. He brings the same experience and dedication he brought to our criminal clients to those facing equally stressful monetary and family matters. As someone who knows the area, and the people involved in the local legal system, he is uniquely qualified to assist you in whatever your legal need. Mr. Young has lived in Lakewood Ranch for over a decade. He and his family enjoy, and are active in, that community. His areas of practice are: Foreclosure, Traffic Charges, DUI, Family Law, and Drug Charges. When facing any of these charges, you need a local experienced attorney who can help you through the process.

Changes to Newsletter Starting this month ITN Suncoast has decided to move to a quarterly timeline on its newsletter. You can expect to see your next newsletter in January of 2020. Due to this change you may receive a slightly lon- ger newsletter than usual with much more pertinent information so be sure to read all of it for important dates, events and stories! Updates on the Regeneron Grant For the past five years, we have been able to provide free rides to any eye related ap- pointments as the result of a generous grant from Regeneron, a company that makes a pharmaceutical for macular degenera- tion. Unfortunately, we have used much of the funding allotted for this program. As the result, as of October 1, members will be responsible for paying for the ride home from eye related appointments. The ride to these appointments will remain free of charge. We hope in the future that the funding will be able to cover the full trip and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Giving Tuesday #GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individu- als, families, organizations, businesses and communities in countries around the world. Millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live. This year Giving Tuesday will be on December 3rd. At ITN SunCoast, we need your support! We expect to provide over 25,000 in 2019 and will likely provide over 30,000 rides in 2020. On average we collect less than our cost of providing a ride. Much of the funds donated are used to provide rides at a reduced cost to people on limited incomes. For Giving Tuesday, ITN SunCoast is partnering with GIVE65, a program of Home Instead Senior Care Foundation® that will match dollar for dollar dona- tions to ITN SunCoast up to $5,000! We will update you in the coming months as to how to participate in this game changing project! Car Donation Program Did you know ITN SunCoast accepts car donations? We will pick up your car and make arrangements for its sale. You can use the value of your vehicle as a tax deduction. We will also give you a ride credit equal to the value of your car that you can give to a family member or friend, donate to our Road Scholarship fund, or bank the credit for your own use at some point in the future. ITN Driver Shirts Soon you may see our drivers may be wearing official “ITN” shirts when they are transporting you. Our drivers are excited to promote that they are an integral part of our success here at ITN Suncoast. Thank you to our partners at Alderman Oaks Retirement Residence for donating the necessary funding ensuring that all of our drivers now have professional uniform shirts. After Hours Phone Lately we have been having members call our After Hours line for non-essen- tial reasons. This line is only to be called if your driver has not come at their scheduled time and it is after normal business hours or the weekend, or you are cancelling a ride for the same day and it is after normal business hours or the weekend. Do not call this line to schedule a ride. Ride requests can only be made during regular business hours of 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday. The dead- line for next day rides remains 1pm the day before or 1pm on Friday for Saturday, Sunday or Monday rides. Ride Requests As we are entering season here is Southwest Florida our ride counts are grow- ing daily. We ask that when you call in a ride request you make sure that you have all the information before you make the call to us. This includes both pick up and return times, as well as the address we are driving you to and any Doctor, busi- ness name or suite number associated with it. If you don’t have this information at the time of the call we may ask that you call us back when you have it gathered. As our office staff is quite small this allows us to better serve all our members as our ridership grows. Important Dates With the holidays fast approaching, our business office will be closed on the following dates: Thanksgiving Day, 11/28/2019 Day After Thanksgiving, 11/29/2019 Christmas Eve, 12/24/2019 Christmas Day, 12/25/2019 New Year’s Day, 1/1/2020 We will be offering rides on those days but the cut off for scheduling will be 1pm on 11/27 for any rides between 11/28 and 12/3; 1pm on 12/23 for any rides between 12/24 and 12/27; and 1pm on 12/31 for any rides on 1/1 or 1/2.
