The library will be open to regular patrons during the event, which will raise money for the library’s Teen Room. A vendor shopping area will feature local businesses such Coldstone Creamery, Ready Set Yo, local crafters and Massage and Wellness, which will be offering chair massages. A couple of staff members will pull Renaissance- and Western- themed carts around the library to sell snacks like kettle corn and cookies. Staff also will be selling 50-cent chance tickets for a drawing for gift baskets loaded with donated goodies like massage gift cards, free haircuts and facials, board games, pet supplies and pool lounges. Since this is the first event like it, Gonser said she isn’t sure how much the teens will raise. Past fundraisers, such as the teens’ anime conventions, brought in $1,500 to $2,000. So far, just the idea of li- brary mini golf has garnered a lot of interest. “People are having a hard time with a miniature golf course inside the library,” Gonser said. “I think we’re going to have a lot of people here just because they want to see what it looks like.” Free tickets were given to children 12 and younger who were suc- cessful in the library’s summer reading program. “If they completed their summer reading, they received a free ticket Photos courtesy of JULIE GONSER for the golf.

But, Pinellas also needed a facility for the Sheriff’s Office, emergency operations and 9-1-1 dispatchers that also could withstand the force of a Category 5 storm. County commissioners approved a $68.5 mil- lion agreement to begin construction of a new administration building for the sheriff’s office and public safety complex Aug. 7, 2012. Nearly two years later, commissioners took their first tour July 31 of the new 208,403-square-foot facility located in a nonevacuation zone at 10750 Ulmerton Road in Largo. “This is a hardened facility,” Interim Chief of Staff Bruce Moeller told those attending the tour. “We have also two generators outside that are redundant.” The two 2.5-megawatt generators can supply the facility for more than 96 hours. Additional fuel supplies are stored onsite to resupply the generators. Wells are available to provide water. Wastewater stor- age is available. “Because, again, we have to assume that everyone outside has failed,” Moeller said. “That’s why there are satellite phones.” The building has the capacity to hold about 700 people during acti- Photos by JULIANA A.

The old Emergency Operations Center at 400 S. Fort Harrison Ave. in Clearwater is currently being dismantled and repurposed. The third floor of the facility is home to the county’s new consolidat- ed Regional 9-1-1 Center. It serves as the public safety answering point for the entire county. The 9-1-1 telecommunicators are expected to answer as many as a million calls during the first year, according to a fact sheet provided by county Communications. They will process calls for fire, emergency medical services and the sheriff’s office. Calls also will be transferred to police departments in Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Tarpon Springs. The space has room for 63 personnel, including two 9-1-1 supervi- sors, 27 9-1-1 telecommunicators, eight fire-EMS dispatchers, two PCSO supervisors, seven PCSO dispatchers, three switchboard tele- type, two traffic control positions (for use during an emergency), two Sunstar supervisors and 10 Sunstar dispatchers.

That’s good news for sharks that are wandering here from northern waters. The Florida Museum of Natural History maintains an international shark attack file. Scientists argue that more people are killed each year by insect stings and snake bites than by shark attacks. Tell that to Quint, Chrissie Watkins or Alex Kintner who were de- voured by the 25-footer in Jaws. Real sharks really don’t find human flesh very enticing. Researchers believe that their nibbling of human body parts is more of a taste test than anything else. Only about 12 of the approximately 300 breeds of sharks attack hu- mans. The fish evolved millions of years before people showed up on our planet. That could be why sharks are programmed to dine on smaller fish and marine mammals. Anyone can track the whereabouts of tagged great whites and other shark species by visiting www.ocearch.org. Operated by OSEARCH, this nonprofit group scrutinizes the travel patterns of the ocean predators they tag. The toothy brutes are bap- tized with endearing names like Lydia, Mary Lee, Michelle and Gina. One Australian Great white was named “Joan of Shark” by someone with a sense of humor. Katherine is a shark of interest that has been lurking in Florida wa- ters as of late. With her own Twitter account, Shark_Katherine, one of her recent tweets read, “We should do a live feed.” Katherine is more than 14 feet long, weighs 2,300 pounds and has journeyed hundreds of miles since being tagged last August off Cape Cod, Mass. She has been swimming down the U.S. east coast and vis- ited St. Augustine, Vero Beach and Miami. Her latest track was off Key West. It is expected that she eventually will swim up the west coast of Florida, and that includes Pinellas County, and then further out into the Gulf. And she will grow in both length and weight. Scientists theorize that rogue sharks simply want to be left alone to swim and eat sea snacks. But there have been too many recorded at- tacks upon humans in shallow water to ignore. The latest Florida at- tack occurred on July 22 when Aadyn Crick, an 8-year-old Indiana boy, was attacked in the shallow waters near Melbourne. Two months before, on May 14, Mihaela Cosa was wading in thigh- deep water near Jacksonville when a shark caused enough damage to require 24 stitches. A day later a woman was attacked while surf- boarding near Miami. The web site sharkattacksurvivors.com recorded a fair number of in- cidents this year, including near New Smyrna Beach and Cocoa Beach. Australia is home to the greatest of the great whites. Six people have died during the past two years, including Christine Armstrong, 60, who was brutally attacked off Tathra. Only parts of a man were discov- ered off Perth. Despite an uptick in worldwide shark attacks, scientists note that 30- to 70-million sharks are slaughtered annually for food, fins and accidentally by fishing nets. Humans actually pose more of a threat to sharks, rays and skates than the other way around. Marijuana prohibition doesn’t work Think about that the next time a dorsal fin is circling you.

Tampa Bay Newspapers, Inc e-edition.tbnweekly.com Leader, August 7, 2014 Entertainment 3B Movie review ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ delivers refreshing, uncomplicated space opera bliss
