Everyone can make a difference, but it’s about deciding to make a differ- ence,” said Hartland.

Tom Rask Seminole Watch your step on the beaches Re: “Retire and do what?” Tom Germond’s column, June 19 Editor: One of my biggest pet peeves, when walking the beaches in the same areas you frequent, are the holes in the beach sand. Instead of looking at the beautiful aqua water, instead of looking at the cloudless sky, you have to be watching where you walk so as not to fall into one of those holes, and some of them are huge. I personally think there should be signs posted that say, “Have an awesome time at the beach, play, sunbathe, but when you leave, please fill the holes in made by you or your children.” Recently, while walking the beach in North Redington, I came across a lady with two young girls, probably 9-10 years old, digging a nice big hole. The lady told them, when they finish, to fill the hole in so this lady (me) or anyone else won’t fall in it while walking by. I stopped and thanked her, telling the young girls if I fall in one of those holes and break a leg/arm/hip, I might not be able to ever walk the beach again. PS: I retired and did a Blue Danube River cruise, it was awesome and it was expensive, and yes, we should explore Florida and sur- rounding states. Thanks for a nice article, and when and if you retire, enjoy every minute of it. I am.

Tampa Bay Newspapers, Inc e-edition.tbnweekly.com Leader, June 26, 2014 Entertainment 3B Opening this weekend Michael Bay serves up ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction,’ fourth film in franchise

Compiled by LEE CLARK ZUMPE

A number of new movies will hit theaters this week, including the following film opening in wide release: ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Genre: Action, adventure and science fiction Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, Li Bingbing, T.J. Miller, Han Geng, Titus Welliver, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, John Goodman, Ken Watanabe, John DiMaggio, Mark Ryan, Robert Foxworth and Reno Wilson Director: Michael Bay Rated: PG-13 “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is the fourth film in director Michael Bay’s global blockbuster franchise. The film begins after an epic battle that left a great city torn, but with the world saved. As humanity picks up the pieces, a shadowy group re- veals itself in an attempt to control the direction of history … while an ancient, powerful new menace sets Earth in its crosshairs. With help from a new cast of humans, Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and the Autobots rise to meet their most fearsome challenge yet. In an incredible adventure, they are swept up in a war of good and evil, ultimately leading to a climactic battle across the world.

The following will open in limited release. It may be several weeks be- Photo courtesy of INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC fore these films appear in local movie theaters.

All eyes turned to this very young assistant as he presented his first collection for Dior and instantly ascended to the heights of haute cou- ture’s elite class. During Saint Laurent’s breathtaking and ground- breaking show, he met with another fate in being introduced to Pierre Bergé (Guillaume Gallienne), patron of the arts, future love of his life and lifelong business partner. Three years later, the two founded the Yves Saint Laurent Company, which would rapidly become one of the biggest luxury powerhouses on the planet. Directed by Jalil Lespert with a screenplay by Lespert and Marie-Pierre Huster, “Yves Saint Laurent” is at once a captivating story about the making of an icon and a testament to the power of enduring love. ‘Jackpot’ Genre: Comedy, crime and drama Courtesy of THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Photo courtesy of DOPPELGANGER RELEASING Cast: Kyrre Hellum, Mads Ousdal, Arthur Berning, Andreas Cappe- len, Henrik Mestad, Lena Kristin Ellingsen and Fridtjov Såheim count – and will keep you guessing until the very end. ‘Whitey: The United States of Director: Magnus Martens America v.
