nd then there were 50. The project on which WGCU embarked in 2013 to honor local women making a special impact on the people, environment, economy and/ or culture of Southwest Florida is complete with this year’s five honorees.
Collectively, they are leaving a legacy, building community, defying social norms and serving as firsts in their fields. They are inspiring, passionate, altruistic, strong and optimistic. They are MAKERS. Like their predecessors, the five women chosen by a committee from WGCU and the community are wise. Although women of any age can be named MAKERS, it generally takes a few trips around the calendar to attain the kind of focus, stature and accomplishment – not to mention the wisdom born of experience – to achieve what each of them has. On the following pages, we’ve tapped into that store of wisdom by presenting some questions to 2017 MAKERS Kathryn Kelly, Heather Mazurkiewicz, Sharon Miller, Sharon Murphy and Annette Trossbach. We asked about the people who influenced them, what lessons they learned, what they’d do over again differently. Their answers were not only smart, but also quite often surprising or funny. We didn’t expect to find out Mazurkiewicz is a hunter who prizes her 300 Win Mag (we had to Google that to find out it’s a Winchester .300 Magnum), or that Kelly’s favorite leisure activity 6 Expressions March 2017
involves being in or underwater, “with a speargun in my hand and a stringer of fish on my hip.” Sharon Murphy likes to work on Lego projects with her granddaughter. “We just finished a VW camper, complete with table and water glasses!” she said. Their advice invariably concerns helping others while staying true to yourself and following your passion. “Take responsibility for your own successes and failures – learn from both,” said Miller. “Try to understand things from the perspective of others.You’ll be happier, having that understanding,” said Trossbach. Plenty more words of wisdom follow. After reading about them, go to wgcu.org/makers and find out about 45 additional wise women. “If you watch and listen to the portraits of the 50 MAKERS we’ve honored over the past five years, you’ll learn a lot about Southwest Florida and how women have played a vital role in nurturing, protecting and celebrating its people and places,” said Barbara Linstrom, digital media director and the project leader. “Our MAKERS represent our community’s collective values and its future.”
Kathryn Kelly
Founder and CEO, The Heights Foundation
“Look for a need and do something about it.” What is the most important change you’d make in Southwest Florida? I wish the residents of Southwest Florida understood how very little our counties spend on children’s services, especially for those living in poverty. With the known risk factors of concentrated, multi-generational poverty, we’re going to spend the money sooner or later. Prevention is better (and less expensive) than incarceration. We know how to fix the problem, but it does take money and an exercise of the will. What was your best business decision? Hiring awesome, competent staff. What was your best life decision? Taking a sharp right-hand turn from my career in architecture to start The Heights Foundation.
Is there a decision you’d like to go back and make differently? Nope. What advice would you give to a 12-year-old girl today? You are a smart girl and you can do anything you want. ... to a high school student? Look for a need in your community and do something about it (no matter how small). Pretty soon you’ll find something you’re truly passionate about. … to a student entering college? Learn to recognize your “sphere of influence,” and use it to make a change for the good (no matter how small). Open a savings account and put money in it every month, even if it’s a small amount.
Other than family members, who influenced you the most in your youth? My sixth grade teacher told me I was a smart girl and I could do anything I wanted. No adult had ever said that to me before (even though I was a straight A student). What is your favorite leisure activity and why? Anything in, on, or under saltwater. Preferably under – with a speargun in my hand and a stringer of fish on my hip. And no sharks around. In this divisive time in our nation’s history, what steps can we take to meet on common ground? Pray. And then do something positive for a neighbor, a friend, your community.

Heather Mazurkiewicz
Founder and President, The Florida Cancer Presumption Coalition
“Experience all you can ... and discover your passion.” Is there a decision you would like to go back and make differently? This is a tricky question because whatever I could change in my past I would not want to end anywhere different than where I am right now. I do, however, wish I had experienced college and obtained a degree. What’s the most important change you’d make in Southwest Florida? I would like to see cancer presumption legislation for firefighters passed in the state of Florida. Cancer is the No. 1 killer of firefighters and currently 37 other states protect firefighters and their families with presumption legislation. The modern fires we face have changed with the introduction of lightweight construction, the influx of electronic gadgets found in homes and the fact that our furnishings are no longer natural products but are synthetic and petroleum or plastic products. When 8 Expressions March 2017
these furnishings burn they produce toxic smoke. In the past two years, more firefighters have been diagnosed with cancer than in the previous 10 years. That is a scary statistic. What was your best life decision? The decision to enter into the Fire Academy. On December 11, 2013, my whole life changed. It was the day I did a ride-along with the professional firefighters with the city of Cape Coral and I experienced “the calling” or as I usually say “I fell in love with the fire profession.” So at 45 years old I signed up for the North Naples Fire Academy … After the academy I applied and was accepted to volunteer with Bayshore Fire & Rescue, went through EMT school, passed my national certification test and not much makes me happier or prouder than to wear the uniform. People tell you to follow your heart but I read once follow your heart but follow your talents too.
What advice would you give to a male or female high school student? First, stop spending so much money on coffee and start saving for your retirement. Don’t feel this new pressure society has placed on you to decide your professional path. You don’t have to have your life mapped out by the time you hit your senior year. Experience all you can and through experience hopefully you’ll discover your passion. No matter what, don’t judge others, you have no idea what demons they are battling, be nice and help each other succeed. … to a student entering college? Stop spending so much on coffee and start saving for your retirement. If you have been granted the opportunity and ability to go to college, finish! Get that degree.
“... You can learn from all experiences.” What was your best business decision? Adopting a community investment model for developing and sustaining camping opportunities for adults with special needs. We chose to invest in creating and maintaining relationships over time with three organizations already based in the community: The Southwest Florida Community Foundation, Riverside Camp and Retreat Center, and Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida. We shared a vision and chose partnership. What was your best life decision? Embracing my Christian faith. My faith has led me to make choices in my personal and professional life that embrace the calling God placed in my heart rather than choosing to be a victim. What advice would you give to a 12-year-old girl today? Stay in school, work very hard to do the best you can in school. Find at least one
teacher, counselor, family member, faithbased mentor to share your dreams with. Stick with the one or ones who encourage you to find your special gifts and talents. … to a high school student? Take responsibility for your own achievement—it is a foundation for all future success. Be mindful, when a dream seems impossible — it can sometimes become possible in a different way. Find at least one teacher, counselor, family member, faith-based mentor who is able to help you find your passion by encouraging your creativity and hope. … to a student entering college? Take responsibility for your own successes and failures — and learn from both. Make choices, cultivate an attitude that you can learn from all experiences. Above all, listen to ALL points of view. You don’t have to agree with someone to choose a personal path of reconciliation.
What is the most important change you’d make in Southwest Florida? I would love to create a “future” forum for public and private sector experts to meet, exchange ideas, create opportunities for identifying and addressing the isolation and unmet needs of adults with special needs and their families/caregivers. Other than family members, who influenced you the most in your youth? Specific teachers, pastors, heroes about whom I have read. Perhaps the greatest impact in my youth were my life experiences with extreme poverty, individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities, migrant families, race riots in the city of Detroit. What is your favorite leisure activity and why? Playing tennis. Physical exercise relaxes me, stretches my imagination, and changes the focus of my day to wellness.
Sharon Miller

Sharon Murphy
Founder and CEO, The McGregor Clinic, Inc.
“Speak softly and leave the big stick at home.” What was your best business decision? The best business decision I have ever made was to accept the challenge of putting the clinic together. It has been an amazing journey and empowered me to face any obstacle head-on.
What is the most important change you’d make in Southwest Florida? We moved here in 1978. I have already seen so many changes in Southwest Florida, most for the better. I do miss drive-in theaters though!
… to a student entering college? My advice to those entering college… These are the years where you learn just as much out of school as in class. Work hard, make time for yourself! These will be the best years of your life!
What was your best life decision? To go to nursing school. My father was a school principal and my mother was a nurse. I had been accepted at a teachers college in Ohio. My mother’s alma mater held an open house and I went to see what they had to offer. My teaching career ended before it began!
What advice would you give to a 12-year-old girl today? I would tell her to remain true to herself and give herself a break. Be her own champion and she will be able to stand up for others who need one.
Other than family members, who influenced you the most in your youth? My fourth grade teacher, Miss Forrester. She instilled a joy of reading and learning.
Is there a decision you’d like to go back and make differently? I can’t think of a past decision I would change. All, good or bad, have brought me here.
10 Expressions March 2017
… to a high school student? My advice to a male high school student…respect goes further than swagger. To a female, you deserve respect, surround yourself with friends that make you feel good about yourself, not less than. To both genders: Enjoy these years. They quickly become your “good old days.”
What is your favorite leisure activity and why? My granddaughter and I work on Lego projects. I get to spend time with her and de-stress at the same time. We just finished a VW camper, complete with table and water glasses! In this divisive time in our nation’s history, what steps can we take to meet on common ground? It comes down to a matter of respect.
“I firmly believe that theater is a great equalizer.” What was your best business decision? The best business decision, and at times the most challenging decision, has been letting a philosophy or ethical goal be a guide. Our theater isn’t only focused on the dollar, which goodness knows we all need in order to pay the bills and to grow as an organization. It is also about being a looking glass for our culture, to chronicle where we’ve come from, what we are doing now, and where we want to go. Reaching into the community to start conversations about equity or health or history; supporting new artists; helping in the development of new work – this is important work. What is the most important change you’d make in Southwest Florida? I want my theater to be a place that many different people come to for personal growth in our education program, for entertainment with our theater, and for togetherness. I firmly believe that theater
is a great equalizer, as it is visited by, brings together and has the power to have an effect on the impoverished and on the wealthy, the mainstream and the marginalized, the loud and the voiceless. What advice would you give to a 12-year-old girl today? This year will be hard. Next year, too. The isolation and apprehension that you are feeling, all the other 12-year-olds are feeling, too. Even if they aren’t showing it. Remember that tomorrow is another day, that next week is another week. Get off social media and listen to needs of your own soul instead. Feed that need, through theater or basketball or animals or drawing or alone-time in a library, whatever. You’ll be richer if you shut out the chatter of others and make your own entertainment.
... to a high school student? Have perspective: One day you will be 40, one day you will be 65, one day you will be 80, and you will still be running into people who challenge your patience – just as you will challenge them. Try to understand things from the perspective of others. You’ll be happier, having that understanding. … to a student entering college? Notice and remember the people who take a special interest in your achievement and give you help … those who work hard for you and also for those who believe in you. One day you’ll be able to thank them by doing the same for someone else who is just starting out. We all want to see our hopes and dreams come full circle by supporting those who are starting out.

Bronte homeland & works inspire local romance writers By Dayna Harpster
Watch WGCU HDTV To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sisters on Masterpiece Sunday, March 26 @ 9 pm Click here for a preview
12 Expressions March 2017
K
aren Auriti of south Fort Myers traveled to England last fall to research for a series of romance novels she writes as Kerryn Reid. She is setting her tales in a fictional town called Wrackwater Bridge, which she imagines to be close to the Bronte sisters’ hometown of Haworth. It’s a distance of about 10 miles “as the crow flies,” she wrote in an email. “It’s twice as far by road, a 30-minute drive on modern roads, and probably several hours by horse and carriage winding around rural Yorkshire in the early 1800s.” When she told the clerk at her hotel in Ilkley she was there to do literary research, she was booked into the hotel’s Bronte Suite. “It had the same unflattering portrait of the three sisters used in Wikipedia, which I discovered later was painted by their brother,” she said. It’s also the portrait used to publicize the drama airing this month on WGCU HDTV, ToWalk Invisible:The Bronte Sisters. The writer is Sally Wainwright, the creator and writer of Last Tango in Halifax. That brother of which Auriti speaks, Branwell, figures prominently in the drama, based on the three years in which sisters Emily, Charlotte and Anne wrote their famous works. His alcoholism and eventual death from it consume their lives during this time; among other misdeeds, he has an affair with the wife of the family who hired him as a tutor and for whom sister Anne is governess, which has consequences for them both. Auriti chose this area – the English Midlands – because she “wanted someplace far from the glamour of London, not only geographically but in every other way. Someplace isolated and rugged, but with a beauty all its own.” Teen years reading historical fiction and a couple of trips convinced her that England was “the center of romance.” Among today’s romance writers, Auriti’s works are considered to be of the regency period, 1810-1820, which predates the Brontes, whose books were published from about 1846 to 1849. Writers of regency romance often take after foremother Georgette Heyer, who wrote many of these “novels of manners” in the middle years of the 20th century. Auriti was inspired more by Jane Austen, she said, “for her intimate, restrained style.” But Punta Gordan Marty Ferris, who writes as Becca St. John, was indeed inspired by the works of the Bronte sisters, particularly Emily’s Wuthering Heights and Charlotte’s Jane Eyre. Reading them led to the gothic undertone of her Lady Eleanor mysteries. “The Bronte sisters, the romance genre, and my work share strong fundamental basic beliefs,” Ferris said. “Not in a ‘holier/better than thou’ way but in characters who don’t shy from pushing boundaries outside the standard norms, and are willing to take setbacks to their own comfort, rather than betray their principles and values. At the start of the book, characters might not know their own beliefs, but will face tests/challenges that force them to take one path over another.” Ferris married a British man, and during their first six years together they lived in England. “Walking through the commons, into and through

Corporate Support Coordinator joins in ‘making a difference’ Chris Merasse was already watching PBS shows on TV at age 8, when his family moved to Fort Myers from Fort Lauderdale. He grew up, earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Florida Gulf Coast University, and earned some nice stripes signifying leadership in the scholastic and business worlds. He’s been an advertising strategist, an onboarding specialist, grant specialist assistant, and an advertising and operations manager for FGCU’s Eagle News. Now, in his mid-20s, he’s the Corporate Support Coordinator at WGCU. Merasse is digitally savvy and also happy hanging out with people, especially since making the leap from private to public sectors. “The work we do here really has an impact,” he says. “Our overall goal is not just about making money.

Sometimes they’re big questions — Who’s really behind that piece of legislation? Sometimes they’re small — How did that building get its name? But reporters don’t have a monopoly on curiosity. That’s why we’re asking YOU to take part in Curious Gulf Coast, WGCU’s new community-driven reporting project. Just submit your question at wgcu.org or vote on a question you would like us to answer when we are in a voting round.

Radio UNinterrupted … the best radio drive ever Do you remember last spring’s radio drive? The one you didn’t hear for hours and hours on 90.1/91.7 FM? We called that very successful radio drive Radio UNinterrupted.Your overwhelming responses with pledges of support and comments that it was the best radio drive ever, have motivated us to do it again this month. Our goal is to raise $225,000 without opening a microphone. The drive starts in March with short reminders on 90.1/91.7 FM that do not interrupt your favorite WGCU and NPR programs. Donate today at wgcu.org. Every donation is eligible to win prizes, including the GRAND PRIZE of a Royal Caribbean Cruise for Two, donated by Debonair Travel. (See wgcu.org/radiouninterrupted for details.) The traditional “on-air” portion of our radio drive is scheduled for the week of April 1. You know the drill — extended program interruptions for five and a half days reminding you that your financial support is essential. Can we once again eliminate the entire week of April’s scheduled on-air pledge drive? It’s up to you. Our promise is simple — the drive ends when we reach $225,000. If we don’t reach $225,000 by April 1, we will go live on the air with our traditional pledge drive. Let’s not let that happen. Pamela James, Membership Manager
Susan Herbel of Fort Myers
Focus on Friends: Susan Herbel, committed citizen and listener Our vibrant friend Susan Herbel is truly a committed citizen. In addition to being a Leadership Circle member and WGCU volunteer, Susan is a teacher, strategist, problem-solver and community advocate. She is trying to do her part to change the world for the better. With a doctorate in public law and policy, Susan is a thinker who spent the majority of her career in road safety at the federal, state and local levels. She and her team conduct research and strategic planning to prevent traffic collisions. She speaks confidently and passionately about road safety and her pro bono work with organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences, the Intelligent Transportation Network System, and the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (Portland State University). “The number of people who are fatally and seriously injured on our roadways is a devastating human and financial cost to the nation,” she says. Now living in Fort Myers, Susan is semi-retired from the action in Washington D.C. A listener of public radio for decades, her favorite show of many favorites is Wait,Wait … Don’t Tell Me! “It’s the smartest show on radio or TV as far as I know,” she says. Growing up in a rural town in Kansas, Susan learned to be independent yet part of the community. “Giving back is part of my DNA. I am continually educated and entertained by public radio and I long ago made the commitment to give back. Why wouldn’t I support an institution that gives so much to me?” Are you looking for a way to give back or be more involved? Contact Kimberly Dye at 239-590-2345 or Gina Dengler at 239-590-2328.

Watch this! Parents and grandparents: You could call it Guilt-Free TV. And it’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’ve all been hearing much talk about how much “screen time” is too much. Pile that concern on top of the old salt about how you shouldn’t use TV as a babysitter (remember that one?), and you have a recipe for potential guilt and regret if you suggest the kids catch a show while you prepare dinner/make an important phone call/clip the dog’s nails/water the plants/(add your task here). But forget all that when the show is on PBS Kids. Facts back us up on this. A January 2016 national study found that Americans consider PBS KIDS the most educational media brand compared with a range of other television networks. In addition, PBS KIDS outperformed Disney, Disney Jr., Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., in direct comparisons regarding a range of key areas, helping prepare children for success in school, including modeling positive social and emotional behaviors for children, innovation and more. It consistently ranks No. 1 in public trust as an educational and safe place for kids.

villages, with the same doorways and stone fences as the Brontes and Jane Austen had an incredible effect on me,” she said. “It’s probably the reason I’m drawn to them.” And readers, in turn, are drawn to the genre she prefers. Sales of romance novels outpace those of science fiction, fantasy and the classics, according to a 2014 survey that the Romance Writers of America commissioned Nielsen to create, implement and analyze. The total sales value of romance fiction in 2013 was $1.08 billion. Romance book buyers are not all women; 16 percent of them are men. Just one man was in attendance at a recent meeting of the Southwest Florida Romance Writers, of which Auriti and Ferris are members. Writer Rosanne Vrugtman gave a presentation on how to compose video book trailers. For more information about the group, go to https://swfrw.org/ 26 Expressions March 2017

Echoes
March 4
This five-part series airing in March and April examines how law enforcement handled the kidnapping of Jacob Wetterling, an 11-year-old Minnesota boy – a case that went unsolved for nearly 27 years. Unlike other true crime programs, In the Dark goes beyond the horror of the story to reveal the sweeping consequences of the case: the creation of the federal sex offender registry; a community damaged by law enforcement mistakes; the devastating effects of publicly labeling a man a “person of interest.” Why did it take so long to find the killer? Law enforcement investigators made crucial errors on the night of the disappearance and in the days afterward. Find out how the case led to the development of the federal sex offender registry, and what questions have arisen about its effectiveness.

Dr. Cynthia Watson of the National War College lectures. Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, former President Cristina de Kirchner in Argentina, Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela: What role did they play in the stalling of their democracies? Are there indicators of other serious turbulence ahead or are these merely outlying cases? Is the optimism of prior generations fading away? March 26 Dr. Stephen Sestanovich of the Council on Foreign Relations: Putin’s Plans and U.S. Foreign Policy
Just how do Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plans interact with the overall direction of United States foreign policy? Sestanovich finds this an increasingly interesting question. Meanwhile Putin continues his quest for the return of the Russian Empire, building an ever larger military and practicing provocative maneuvers in Eastern Europe.
