Florida Journey.
August 24, 2016 Vincent Cummings
My first name is really 'Derek', but I use my middle name Vincent' for my writing. Below, I write an experience using my first name and third person point of view.
Derek and Hal paddled through the narrow canal under the bald cypress and oak trees with moss, like long wizard beards hanging from the dense branches.
"I hate living in Florida," Derek said, swatting a mosquito away, sweat running down the sides of his face, shirt sticking to his back. "One-hundred-degree heat indexes, storms, floods, and mosquitoes. Why do I still live here? That's what I ask myself. And don't get me started on the politics."
"Because you love me," Hal said, shooting Derek a grin as his kayak slid by Derek across the glass clear water.
Derek returned a smile.
"The rivers, beaches are amazing," Derek said. He brought the canteen to his mouth and tilted beer down his throat. He wasn't supposed to have alcohol in the park, but the ranger s didn't bother to sniff the canteen. He also had a camel pack of cold water like Hal did. " I must've explored a dozen or so rivers."
"There are dozens more," Hal said. "Then the beaches."
"Yep," Derek said, liking the enthusiasm rising through his voice. "I love me some water."
Derek splashed water as he paddled alongside Hal. The two drifted around a corner in the creek. Three turtles bathe on a log. Derek and Hal had to swerve around a few branches reaching over the creek. Paddling further, they came to a tree that had fallen over the creek. The two climbed out and as a duo, dragged their kayaks one-by-one over the log and continued the hot journey.
Their kayak journey brought them under a tunnel of giant elms and oak trees, and palm trees.
"What a diverse wilderness," Derek said.
"Yes it's." Hal looked over at a small and white sandy beach to the right, where rocks and orange and lime-green weeds scattered the bank. Beyond that, like most of the surrounding, thick forest stretched miles in every direction. "Do you think this is what Florida used to look like?"
"Gator!" Hal pointed over at another sandbar. "Get your camera ready." He sounded as if he'd discovered a species that was supposed to be extinct, and now he had found it.
Derek raised his camera to snap a picture.
"Damn it," Derek said as the current took his kayak gliding passed the gator before he was able to take its picture. "I'll have to turn around and try again." Muscles burning in his arms and shoulders, Derek turned the kayak around and paddled back. This time he was able to snap two pictures of the gator.
"I'm guessing it's a ten-footer," Hal said, pulling ahead of Derek. "You get it?"
Derek and Hal kayaked further up the creek and around another bend in the route. Watered roared in the near distance.
"I hear the rapids," Derek said.
"Sounds like a waterfall," Hal said with some apprehension.
"I don't know of any waterfalls in Florida." But whitewater in Florida rivers was like having a panther sighting-it was very rare.
Hal glided away quickly ahead, a new energy. He disappeared around another corner of trees.
Derek hauled the kayak over to a bank, or basically a patch of plants and tall grass, where he primed his camera. The richly smell of earth and grass clippings drifted up through his nostrils. In addition to majestic beaches, rivers and springs, and forest, Florida has a scarce number of rapids, and Derek was going to capture himself floating and bouncing along the water.
Voices came from further down the stream, just beyond the rapids and where Hal disappeared. Derek didn't pay them any attention, pressed the red record button on his camera, and went to push off the muddy bank with the paddle. The paddle stuck in the soft mud. Through the trees and plants, laying in the bog was an alligator.
Heart beating faster, Derek yanked his paddle from the mud. Trembling hands, he pushed off a short log and managed to start down the rapids. He glanced back but couldn't see the gator within the bush.
It was ridiculous holding his camera to record rolling down the roaring whitewater, a moment from flipping over.
The kayak spun around and backwards it drifted into branches.
"I think he meant to do that," a boy's voice came from just beyond where the rapids ended. People stood on a wider bank of white sand, watching and talking as Derek drifted backwards down the whitewater.
A boy, who was with what looked to be boy scouts, and a tall man, waded out with another boy. The two took a hold of the kayak and spun it and Derek in the right direction. With a raise of his paddle and a thank you, Derek drifted away through a narrower section of the creek, where palms and other trees provided shade and relief from the sun's rays.
Hal's kayak was banked on a beach of sand to the side.
"Are you okay?" Derek asked, floating passed him.
"Yeah," Hal said, facing the forest. "Just watering the creek."
"I'll wait for you a little further down."
Derek kayaked between tall palm trees that were protruded from the clear sporadically. A soft shell turtle lay camouflaged in mud. Sweat running down his face, Derek managed to wield his camera out and take a picture of the prehistoric beauty. Florida was popular for its turtle population, and Derek had already captured more than a dozen on camera since venturing the creek. The reptile extended its neck from its shell, looking at Derek as continued downstream short distance before finding a calm place in the water where the kayak floated slowly, almost coming to a still. He waited for Hal to catch up. Birds chirped. A light wind swooped in. The sunlight spilled through trees.
Water splashed behind him as Hal glided up next to Derek, and they paddled on.
"You know I can't think of any nature or water like this," Hal said. "that I've enjoyed. I have to admit Florida does have some beautiful water."
"This is one of my top kayaking routes." Rarely was a pristine place with wildlife and nature discovered in the sunshine state. "It's away from the crowd and off the beaten path, as the saying goes."
Hal pulled ahead as Derek stayed back taking pictures of fish swimming through the water.
"Otter," Hal shouted with so much excitement it jolted Derek from his concentration on the fish. Adrenaline rushing, Derek paddled faster, camera ready.
The otter swam underwater. The creature pulled itself from the water and stood up as it looked at Hal and Derek. Before vanishing deeper into the forest, the otter slide and pulled itself closer to watch Derek, as if expecting its picture to be takem.
The two kayaked into an area where the branches and trees no longer bent over the creek, where high sunburned grass stood on both sides.
"I think this is where the gators like to hangout and bathed," Derek said.
"Great," Hal said mockingly, but with a hint of amusement in his voice. "Thanks."
"Looks like a gator made that path," Derek gestured at a path that threaded through the tall grass.
"Okay, don't pee here."
A gator, croaked unseen somewhere in the grass. The creek opened up more, no wider than a two-lane highway.
Derek jumped as thunder clashed in the sky. He looked up to see a dark-gray cloud hovering over the creek. Rain drops pinged his legs and arms.
"Great another lovely thunderstorm," Derek said, the same time jagged white lightening streaked the sky in the too close distance.
"How much further do you think camp is?" Hal asked, shouting over the noise of raindrops splashing the water.
"I'm not sure," Derek said. "We've gone at least over 5 miles."
Thunder crackled and rain fell more rapidly.
'Let's get the hell out of the water," Hal suggested.
The option between staying a target for lightening on the water or taking the chance to resort to the river bank where a possibility of a gator sighting waited was not an easy one to make. Derek agreed to take venturing the high grass. Electrocution did not sound like a pleasant way to die. And at least they'd have a chance to spot a gator and stay clear of it. Lightening gave no chances. It'd be boom and done. The statistics in Florida of people dying from lightning strikes and floods was high, but Derek didn't recall the exact number.
"Damn storms," Derek said as he beached his kayak beside Hal's not much further downstream. "Another reason I despise Florida in the summer and spring."
"Let's find a tree to get under," Hal said, stepping onto the soft mud. Derek did the same. They stood both gazing about the tall grass.
"Over there," Hal pointed to trees beyond the tall grass.
They slowly threaded through the high grass. Derek's heart hammering against his chest, scared of walking upon a gator.
Derek's and Hal's clothes were drenched by the time they reached a massive oak tree to take shelter from the rain.
A flash of lightning reminded them of the danger still hovering over them.
"At least we're in the wilderness getting stormed on,' hal said with a tired smiled. "If I'm going to die from lightining, I'd rather it be out here than some place in the city."
"I choose neither one." Derek could think of other, less painful ways of dying. But in nature, away from the crowd, in the cool rain and lack of mosquitos…
Derek sat back against the large oak tree next to Hal on the damp ground of leaves. He scooped of rich soil and rubbed between his fingers. It felt refreshing to his hands. He looked up through the branches. Water glinted off the Spanish moss. The gray cloud slid slowly west; very slowly.
"We're all going to die," Hal said.
'Now that's a morbid thing to say," Derek said.
"But it's true."
"Obviously. And we don't know how or where." Derek never thought of the inevitable fact so much.
"Nope," Hal said. "But if I had a choice, if I could know when—"
"You'd choose immortality," Derek said.
"Do you have any beer left?" Hal asked.
A smile crept across Derek's face.
"Damn, I left it in the kayak."
"But you have your camera?" Hal asked, smiling.
Derek pulled the camera from around his shoulder, extended his arms with the camera held in his hand. "Come on, we'll never have a selfie like this again."
Hal scooted closer to Derek and Derek snapped the picture.
"Is that called a selfie, if you're taking a picture of two people?" Hal watched as Derek scrolled to the picture of the two of them with their hair wet and slicked back. "I thought selfies are only when one person takes a picture of himself."
"I don't know," Derek shrugged. "Call it a double take."
He nodded his head, a calm smile held on his face.
"Well." Hal stood and stretched his legs and arms in the air. He yawned. "You ready to head back?"
The rain had weakened to a sprinkle, and the sunlight struggled more through the gray sky.
Derek stood.
"Let's go," he said. "By the time we get to camp, the others will have lunch ready."
They hiked back the way they came, the way where gators were less likely to be.
"What's going to be our job at camp if they cooked?" Hal asked, sliding into his kayak.
"Eat." Derek pushed his kayak into the water and climbed on. "Then cleanup, which is what eating is."
They paddled their way to a railroad track that bridged over the creek.
"We're here already," Hal said with excitement. "Do you think the others stuck around through the storm?"
"No," Derek rested his paddle across and let the kayak drift across the crystal clear water on its own. He enjoyed the smell of rich earth and a cool breeze brushing against his face. "What if Florida was cut off from the states and became an island?" Hal said. "Would you like it better then?"
"I'd have a reason to make my long kayak journey back to the states." Derek found Hal's island concept interesting. How would Florida be different if it was an island? Heat and mosquitos were liable to stay around.
The sound of voices came from the near distance. Two of the voices sounded familiar.
"That's them," Hal paddled faster. "I hope they have some cold beer."
"Of course they will."
"Just a minute ago you said they'd be gone," Hal said.
"I didn't really know what I was saying."
The sound of friends where surely to be a place for memories, surrounded by trees, next to water, and the rich sounds and smells of nature.
"This is why I haven't left hot sticky Florida," Derek said.

Learning to lead effectively is one long continuous improvement process. No one comes to this role fully prepared for the rigors, twists, and turns created by people and conditions. It's a learned process that emphasizes experimentation and adaptation in response to the ample surprises you'll encounter in your daily efforts. One great way to prepare yourself for success is to approach each workday with a deliberate commitment to striving to be your best leadership self.
Start: What are my top priorities today?
End: What did I do today that worked and that I need to do more of tomorrow?
Review yesterday's entries as part of your start-up for the new day.
It's human nature to put off things we don't like to do. Instead of vowing to get to that overdue feedback or coaching conversation "later" lock it into your early a.m. calendar and bring your best self to the session. Focus on creating a dialog and remember to design solutions together.
Your verbal and non-verbal behaviors wield significant influence over whether your team is creative, collaborative, and excited about their work. You want to keep your team in "discovery" mode and away from fear. If people perceive you are in a good mood, they are apt to mirror you. Make certain they are mirroring the positive, creative, collaborative you.
Deliver earned positive feedback in a 3:1 ratio to constructive or the negative kind. Try it, and see what happens. Keep a tally of your daily totals and keep improving. And remember, effective feedback is always behavioral and tied-to business results. The goal is to strengthen behaviors that support high performance and change or eliminate those that detract from it.
5. Preach Less and Ask More.
Questions are powerful teaching tools. Quit preaching and start asking and listening.
Instead of placing pressure on yourself to solve every problem, tap into the wisdom of your team and ask for ideas and approaches. They want to help.
Make this a deliberate daily pursuit. Remember, someone must choose you to be successful.
Reach across boundaries to build and strengthen relationships. Help your peers when asked, and strive to connect groups in pursuit of solutions to broader problems.
I saved number 10 for last. It may be the most important of all. 10. Remember to Enjoy Every Day. We're all given an unknown, finite number of days. Enjoy each one as it comes, headaches and stressors and calamities and all. And then get up and do it again. Follow this positive cycle and strive to be your best leadership self daily, and you might just crack the code on succeeding in this difficult role.

When Gustave Eiffel's famous tower was erected in 1889, it wasn't just its design and the fortune it generated that created general envy; it was the private apartment he'd had installed at its summit.
Unlike the tower's rather industrial-like structure, Gustave Eiffel's apartment was furnished in a homely fashion with wooden cabinets, velvet settees and flocked wallpaper. He used the apartment not for extravagant parties, but to entertain important guests – one of whom was Thomas Edison.
While no-one has access to Gustave's private apartment, you can enjoy VIP access to the second level of the Eiffel Tower on our Wonderful France tour.
Did you know that The Musketeers were not just fictional characters?
The Chateau de Versailles (or Palace of Versailles) in Paris, was home to the Kings of France – and they needed protection. The Musketeers were employed in 1622 by Louis XIII as the king's bodyguards. They fought on both foot and horseback, and were among the most prestigious military companies of the Ancien Régime.
Today, the Chateau de Versailles is one of the most beautiful examples of 18th century French art, and you can experience the Palace of Versailles tour on our Contrasts of Europe trip.
With the fruits of major wine capitals Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne all vying for your palate, it's no surprise that the Loire Valley is considered one of France's best-kept wine-growing secrets.
And despite producing the greatest variety of wines of any region in the country, the Loire Valley is still overlooked by many modern-day wine-consumers (and critics), because of its inability to produce dense, robust reds.
We think there's more to the Loire Valley than its wines, though; this hidden gem's lavish chateaux, grandiose castles and lush far-stretching landscapes are enough reason to visit. Why not explore the Loire Valley and judge its wines for yourself on our Treasures of France tour.
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Mont St-Michel is one of the most breath-taking yet mysterious spots in Normandy.
The stunning 'abbaye du Mont Saint Michel', which sits on this cone-shaped islet, was commissioned by Bishop Aubert of Avranches as a devotional chapel, following his vision of St. Michel. It was built in 708 and was used for various religious purposes until the French Revolution, when it was converted into a prison to house opponents of the republican regime.
Today Mont St-Michel is home to a monastic community, ensuring the continuation of a spiritual presence. It was also featured in the 1982 version of the film The Scarlet Pimpernel, with cast Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour.
Witness the unusual elegance of Mont Saint Michel on our Highlights of France tour.

Ear Infections – Extreme temperatures in summer may cause ear infections which is the most common complaint with pets. Signs of ear infections include scratching the ear, head shaking, odour, redness of the ear and in severe cases, a head tilt or loss of balance.
Allergies – Many cats and dogs are sensitive to allergens in the environment during the summer months. Unlike humans, who get runny eyes and sneeze, allergens stick to the coats of the pets, causing them to itch, which can lead to severe skin infections.
Sunburn – Cats and dogs with light skin and a short or thin coat are particularly prone to sunburn, skin cancer and other solar-induced skin diseases. The most common sites for sunburn are the bridge of the nose, ear tips, skin surrounding the lips and any other area where skin pigmentation is low.
Skin infections – which is more common with dogs than cats are frequently secondary to some underlying condition or health problem. These skin conditions can manifest itself, either on a single area or distributed throughout the animal's body. It is visible in a variety of forms such as "bald spot" that is dry and/or flaky, to oozing "wet" skin folds, or even reddish acne-like lesions – depending on the cause. Therefore, it is important to seek veterinary advice to diagnose these conditions and get proper treatment.
Use a damp towel after each walk to help remove any allergens or irritants on the coats.
Pets should be fully immunized and regularly treated for fleas, ticks, intestinal worms and other parasites.
Keep claws trimmed to prevent scratches.
Pets should be bathed using a medicated, but safe shampoo on a regular basis to avoid skin infections.
Treat areas in and around the house where pets often sleep or rest with disinfectant surface sprays to prevent flies and other insects.
Pets should have their own feeding dishes and utensils that are cleaned with a disinfectant, which is safe and non-toxic.
Pet bedding should be soaked regularly in a disinfectant to keep it clean and hygienic.
Pick the right sunscreen for pets, but make sure it has no toxic properties.
Protect wounds, cuts, scratches and tips of ears from biting flies and fly strikes by applying medicated, but safe sprays.
Pet owners should wash their hands with an antiseptic soap or apply a hand gel after playing with their pets.
While alternative therapies are continuously being developed, it should be noted that natural and herbal remedies may sound reassuring sound, but there is no guarantee of either quality or safety. As such, even supplements that are generally considered safe can be dangerous when consumed by a pet.
With the mercury soaring, the summer season can be unforgiving and sometimes fatal for our furry friends. As such, pet owners should be increasingly conscious of the risks and opt for the best treatments and products that have been independently assessed and approved by regulatory bodies, offer superior safety, have a gold standard achievement against all world-class benchmarks in efficacy, is affordable, non-toxic, biodegradable, non-corrosive and compatible to keep pets healthy and safe.

More Wizardry in the Book World
Technology Content
As if Harry Potter hadn't shaken up the muggle world enough already. Now comes word that J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, is launching a website called Pottermore, which will sell ebook versions of the wildly popular books directly to the public. Pottermore will offer more than ebooks, however; it will create a whole Harry Potter universe, with an additional 18,000 words of content about the books' characters, plots and settings along with interactive games, vivid new illustrations and more — all designed to cement the love affair between Rowling and her legions of devoted fans.
Pottermore, which will go live on July 31 — just for some; see the website for explanation — will be the only place consumers can buy the ebooks beginning in October. They will not be available from Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes & Noble's Nook store, Apple's iBookstore or other online stores, according to press reports.
Although traditional publishers and online stores can still sell print copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling's move is sure to upset the industry, and give new impetus to the discussion about digital rights ownership. Rowling, unlike many authors, never signed away the digital rights to her books.
Changes in technology "are threatening publishers' historic role in the reading value chain and their ability to get paid for carrying out that role," says Wharton management professor Daniel Raff. "What we are seeing is the potential for digital delivery of texts to effect a kind of disintermediation. This might play out in any of a variety of ways, but imaginable scenarios involve radically changed roles for traditional retailers, wholesalers, publishers and, of course, printers."
Rowling can pose a threat to the traditional publishing model "because she is not an anonymous author of genre literature, but rather a brand in herself," Raff says. "This is why she succeeded in retaining digital rights for herself when authors with less market power were simply offered contracts reserving digital rights to the publishers on a take-it-or-leave-it basis."
Big publishers, he adds, "are undoubtedly very nervous" about the impact that this initiative — and its possible success — might have "on the willingness of future potential Rowlings to cut the old-style deal rather than reserved-rights deals." Of course with the typical first-time writer, a publisher does not have any guarantee of huge sales, he notes. "I would expect the main consequence of this to be different royalty rates for digital sales, not wholesale changes in boilerplate terms." He predicts that the success of sites like Pottermore will depend on how much distinctive content they can offer.
As for the question of "the degree of digital rights protection involved, this is not yet clear and will be interesting," Raff notes. "Some arrangement making onsite-distinctive material accessible only to people who have paid to download copies will probably be one means of combating piracy."

THE recent White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, among many points raised in its final report, criticized the emphasis on interscholastic sports to the detriment of general physical fitness programs, and suggested that business and government plants and build ings include exercise facilities. The report was issued time for members of the American family to discuss it they jogged between the television set and the refrigerator during the time‐outs of football Bowl games on New Year's Day. Everyone agreed that exercise was a fine thing for athletes and nuts.
But even the athletes tend to stop exercising as soon as they no longer have to stay in shape for competi tion, tossing their condi tioning in a back closet with old textbooks and class pictures, getting fat and breathless and pitching over dead as soon as everyone else. The nuts are into ex ercising for their own ob scure, semi‐religious pur poses that include triumph over pain and exclusive cultism. The athletes and the nuts have given exer cise bad name.
So when most youngsters get to a high school gym class and are ordered by a pot‐gutted "coach" to touch their toes, the whole exercise business seems pretty gross. The gym period may be all of 45 minutes, most of it spent checking in and out, changing clothes and getting into line. Very little of it is fun, and everyone spends the rest of the school day wondering if he smells sweaty.
The talented athletes are quickly sifted through, and trained for competition. That these youngsters may not be getting the most healthful exercise is suggested by this interesting fact: a suburban high school reported last sea son that its football team lost 15 players through injury, six of them major surgery cases.
In many schools where facilities are limited, recrea tional and intramural programs are sacrificed to varsity sports: a small six‐basket gym can be used either for one basketball team practicing full court or 12 three‐man teams. Ironically, in the constant struggle between physical education and academic departments for time and space, the gym teachers often get more mileage out of a winning team with its short‐range effect on school spirit and com munity interest than on a recreation program.
The varsity athletes are further winnowed as they progress into higher grades, and into college and the pros. Facilities become less accessible and more expensive men and women grow older. Statistics proving that Amer ica is a sports‐loving nation are misleading: the sports are primarily spectator sports, or sitdown sports like motor boating, or sports with little debatable exercise value, like bowling and golf.
A number of companies have begun fitness programs for their employes, particularly for highly insured execu tives, and a few have even adopted the so‐called "exercise break" in which 10 minute jump‐up sessions are scheduled at mid‐morning and mid‐afternoon. People tend to grumble at first, but apparently feel good afterward. The Soviet Union made the exercise break mandatory at many fac tories and offices, and claims it has increased productivity and decreased sick days. But the Soviet program did not really catch hold among the mass of workers until the introduction of comelier fashions and the summer resort weekend bolstered the priority of a trim figure.
Fitness, ultimately, is too personal to be entrusted to schools, businesses and governments. That people are in terested is proved again every six months when a new dogma is handed down in paperback, or another gadget born witness to by the Green Bay Packers: most of them work for anyone who is willing to follow a complicated and joyless regimen for years. None of them are fun.
A Manhattan executive, whose company encourages two‐hour business lunches, sneaks off to play squash nearly every day, and notables in Florida and California among other places have been known to water ski before break fast, routinely. This is fun. For most people, however, with limited time, money and space, a brisk walk that will eventually lead to jogging and running, alone, in family or with the whole car pool, is the best New Year's Resolution.
The goal, according to the cardiologist and roadrunner, Dr. George A. Sheehan, is "a slimmer figure, toned‐up muscles, lower blood pressure, better sleep, greater work production and more relaxation." Dr. Sheehan, who runs 30 to 60 minutes every other day, suggests that a beginner start slowly by alternately walking and jogging a quarter mile, gradually building up to a mile after two weeks, then jogging a mile at a speed that would permit him to hold conversation. Eventually, sweating and the slowing of the respiratory rate will signal a second wind and the readi ness to go for longer distance. Sheehan, who finds swim ming a bore, suggests it when injuries occur.
Most fitness experts tend to think that sporadic, heavy exercise is more harmful than none. If a man doesn't really expect to get into shape and stay there, he may be better off watching Bowl games and reading White House reports.

The Hitmen Have A Hit In Ogunquit

Ogunquit Playhouse
Through July 29
Reviewed by Bobby Franklin
Early in Bullets Over Broadway now playing at the Ogunquit Playhouse playwright David Shayne and a group of artist friends are discussing a hypothetical situation; If a building was burning down and the choice had to be made to save a person or the last remaining copy of the works of Shakespeare what would you choose to do? Shane and most of his friends said they would save the Shakespeare, as art was more important than the life of just one person. Later in the play he would be tested on this question and find the decision to be a bit more complicated.

Bullets Over Broadway is adapted from the 1994 Woody Allen film of the same. It has been turned into a musical, and after seeing both the movie and this fine production I have concluded it should have been a musical from the outset.
It does not have an original score. The music consists of catchy tunes from the period between World War I and II. Some of the songs will be familiar to the audience and some are fairly obscure. The music adds an atmosphere that was missing in the movie. It works and works well.
Playwright David Shayne, played with just the right amount of angst and comedy by the very talented John Rochette, has agreed reluctantly to compromise some of his artistic integrity by allowing the girlfriend of mob boss Nick Valenti to have a role in his play in exchange for having the gangster bankroll the production. Vincent Pastore, reprising his role from the original Broadway version of Bullets, is ideal as the man who takes time between musical numbers such as Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You sung to his ditzy girlfriend Olive played by Jemma Jane, to order hits on his enemies.

Ms Jane is a hoot when she sings The Hot Dog Song, a saucy piece filled with double entendres and some interesting moves on her part. She appears to relish her role as the not so bright Olive. It is all such fun.
Reed Campbell is positively outstanding as Cheech, ("Not Mr. Cheech, it's just Cheech."), Valenti's top hitman, who has been charged with keeping an eye on Olive as she attends rehearsals for the play. Cheech still finds time to make a hit while tending to Olive. There is an interesting scene where he and an accomplice take a victim for a ride while singing Up A Lazy River. Sure, it's morbid, but it is also very funny.
Meanwhile, Shayne seems to be at peace with the deal he has made now that leading lady Helen Sinclair (Michele Ragusa) has agreed to star in his play. That peace is soon disrupted when he hears Olive rehearsing her lines with a voice that makes him cringe. He lights up the stage with I'm Sitting On Top Of The World. Mr. Rochette shows great chops as a song and dance man as he moves about the stage. He is very good.
Ms Ragusa does a fabulous job as the aging diva with a touch of Sunset Boulevard mixed in. Using an overly dramatic theatrical voice she is funny without becoming a caricature. She and Mr. Rochette are delightful singing There's a Broken Heart for Every Light on Broadway.
This is musical theatre at it's best. It is the Ogunquit Playhouse at its best.
One of the high points of the play, and there are many, is when Cheech and his fellow gangsters perform the song and dance number, Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do, Reed Campbell was absolutely fantastic with this high energy number and had many in the audience on their feet by the end. Campbell is an amazing talent who time and again wowed the crowd at the Playhouse.
In this interesting and funny story we see Cheech taking over authorship of the play as Shayne has to deal with having compromised his artistic integrity. Along the way we are treated to dancing hot dogs, an amazing set consisting of New York City rooftops, a train, vintage car, an actor who is also a compulsive eater who gives new meaning to growing into a part, and wonderful lighting. We are also gifted with the amazing Sally Struthers as Eden Brent who appears with her dog who also displays great acting ability. Ms Struthers take the stage in Ogunquit each season and never disappoints. She is the master of comedic timing.
This production is directed by Jeff Whiting who worked closely with Susan Stroman on the original production. He has recreated that direction and choreography for this show.
I want to add that both John Rochette and Reed Campbell are extraordinarily talented young actors. Having them share the stage with such experienced actors as Vincent Pastore and Sally Struthers is great to see. Both of these men have promising careers ahead of them. I could also say this about the entire cast. Everyone was wonderful. You could just feel the energy and excitement as it spilled into the audience. This is musical theatre at it's best. It is the Ogunquit Playhouse at its best.
I rarely am disappointed by a show at the Playhouse, though there have been a few that aren't on my see again list. But, the vast majority are extremely good. Bullets Over Broadway ranks as one of the best I have ever seen there. I strongly recommend you get to Ogunquit and see this production. I have a feeling tickets will be selling fast so I would not hesitate.
Oh, David Shayne finds he has a different answer to the question of whether or not to choose Shakespeare over the life of a human being when he is faced by the choice Cheech makes with dealing with Olive dragging the play down. It turns out Cheech has more artistic integrity, but David has found his humanity.

The Ogunquit Playhouse takes audience on a hilarious trip back to the Roaring Twenties with their production of the musical adaptation of Woody Allen and Douglas McGrath's madcap film, Bullets Over Broadway on stage from July 5 – July 29. Hailed by Time Magazine as "Musical Theatre Gold!," Bullets Over Broadway is the side-splitting musical comedy about the making of a Broadway show, filled with tap dancing gangsters, saucy showgirls, big laughs and colorful characters.

The Sierra Club has obtained a giant new trove of documents (24,000 pages) that provides even more evidence of the unprecedented level of secrecy Administrator Scott Pruitt has imposed on the EPA.
The emails, first reported by the New York Times, reveal his staff going to great lengths to limit most press access to his events — save for those whom they determined were with "friendly" media. They also show staff preventing questions from the public at his events and exerting more control over public records requests.
Pruitt's troubles with transparency are well-documented. In the past, his staff defended his unusual practices, such as not advertising his schedule, as "security concerns." But these emails detail more preoccupation with avoiding distractions at events than any real worries about his personal security.
They also rebut other arguments that have been advanced by the EPA to justify the pervasive lack of transparency. In response to a 2018 complaint from the Society of Environmental Journalists about barring some reporters from press lists and his events, EPA's chief spokesperson Liz Bowman (who recently resigned) claimed that the EPA offered an "unprecedented amount of access." These emails clearly detail otherwise, as they show EPA staff ensuring that Pruitt's events were not advertised ahead of time and were closed to the general public.
Of course, not everyone has had trouble gaining access to Pruitt. The emails also demonstrate how EPA staff fulfilled requests from industry executives and groups to meet with the EPA administrator, closed to the public. In one exchange, Pruitt's scheduler thanked the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation for offering remarks that would be "helpful in preparing talking points" ahead of an appearance.
The EPA and AMEC, along with a public relations executive from ARC Media, devised a plan to promote positive comments and keep negative comments "hidden from public view." The PR executive outlined a plan to ward off criticism.
He should remind the audience of some of the fights he was engaged in with the Obama Administration (and just how bad it was). His selection as EPA Administrator (and maybe mention Senator Sessions as AG and others now in the Administration who have fought hard to rollback and contain the power of the federal government) should give us hope.
After his confirmation last year, Pruitt spoke at an executive roundtable in Oklahoma, to a slew of executives associated with the Oklahoma Oil and Gas Association (OKOGA) including Devon Energy, Enbridge, Halliburton, General Electric, Mustang Fuel, and BP.
The National Turkey Federation sought access to Pruitt by pitching it as "a friendly group who is excited to have the Administrator at EPA." The audience, it noted, included roughly 150 turkey executives and the heads of several Fortune 500 companies.
Todd Dobson, an Oklahoma banker with MidFirst Bank and on the board of the Oklahoma Christian University, sent along a request last May from the Global Warming Policy Foundation. GWPF, a conservative think tank based in the United Kingdom that promotes climate skepticism and denial, wanted Pruitt to deliver its annual lecture, after having already hosted Trump's EPA transition chief Myron Ebell. It's unclear if the EPA seriously considered the request, but the email from Dobson reached Pruitt's scheduler Sydney Hupp. Dobson said in his note Pruitt was "trying to get with me to discuss his future" before he became EPA chief.
EPA staffer Tate Bennett replied to a confused Toyota vice president of government affairs, who thought "you all did not want any press coverage" of an event. Bennett clarified they wanted "press after we leave. Not before." The strategy was consistent with the general approach the EPA used when revealing Pruitt's travels only after they had already occurred — like his now-infamous trip to Morocco in December.
Last June, Pruitt's office asked for pending Freedom of Information Act disclosures to be sent to political staff for review 48 hours before they were made public. That alone may not be troubling, but Politico recently found additional layers of review Pruitt's team has added to prevent documents from being released.

Serena Deeb Provides Injury Update, Calls Out Self-Entitlement In Today's Pro Wrestling
By Marc Middleton |August 10, 2021
AEW and NWA star Serena Deeb is getting close to being cleared for her in-ring return.
Deeb announced in late July that she was dealing with a knee injury. She tried to fight through the pain, but was forced to take time off and heal up. This came after Deeb was briefly out of action in March due to issues with her left knee.
In an update, the veteran pro wrestler took to Twitter today and provided an update on her recovery. Deeb started the video in a wheelchair, but then stood up and revealed that she's getting closer to being cleared as she no longer needs the wheelchair or knee brace.
"I'm already able to walk. In fact, I don't even need my knee brace anymore, which means that I am one step closer to being cleared," Deeb said.
Deeb then cut a promo on how she's seen a lot of entitlement in pro wrestling as of late, while also seeing a lack of courtesy and respect. She noted how she's sacrificed to make it in the business, recalling how she had her head shaved on WWE TV years ago while with CM Punk's Straight Edge Society.
"You know, I see a lot of self-entitlement in today's day and age," Deeb said. "But my question is, where is the courtesy? Where is the etiquette, the respect that this business was founded on? Where's the passion, the dedication? Do you know what I had to do to get my break in pro wrestling? I had to shave my had on national television. Show me a woman today that would do the same thing for this business. There ain't one, none of them are Serena Deeb.
"I've dedicated my entire life to professional wrestling. Do you know how long it took me to learn 1000 holds? A very, very long time. I have put in my hours, I have paid my dues. If there were a PHD in pro wrestling, you better believe that I would have it by now. So, when I return, it doesn't matter who they throw in front of me, whether it's a Bunny, a beast, an alien, or a doctor, they will all see that there is only one Professor of Professional Wrestling. I am Serena Deeb, the woman of a thousand holds!"
Deeb has not wrestled since the July 19 edition of AEW "Dark: Elevation" when she teamed with Tay Conti for a win over Jazmin Allure and VertVixen.
