Tallahassee bowler shares love of the game Nick Gandy For many, bowling is a sport for life. Something started in the early years. Like a youngster attending a birthday party and thinking, “I like this game.” That was not the case for Dominic DeMartino, who didn’t started bowling until after he moved to Tallahassee in 2001. He joined a bowling league, “about nine years ago,” and soon became more than a guy just rolling a ball down the lane and knocking down pins. He soon learned about a Special Olympics Bowl- ing program and signed on as a coach. He was familiar with the Special Olympics since its early days and was part of one of the original Law Enforce- ment Torch Runs, a fundraiser to create awareness of the Special Olympics. The early Torch Runs crossed the country from Maine to California and passed through his hometown of North Haven, Connecticut. At that time he was a member of the local fire department and participated. His current connection finds DeMar- tino spending Sundays from June through August instructing Special Olympics bowlers at Capital Lanes.

14 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT ACTIVE LIVINGQuilters are busy as bees for children’s program
Rosetta Land
Quilters across the nation share their
fabric stories and finely sewn works of
art with a program called “Sleep in
Heavenly Peace.” Quilts are pieced to fit
a twin-sized bed and will ultimately
warm a child sleeping on a hand-crafted
bed, given to them by Sleep in Heavenly
Peace (SHP).
At the Tallahassee Senior Center,
Quilting Bees gather each Monday from
9 a.m.–1 p.m. They quilt, share time, and
enjoy the comradery. Usually, 10-12 la-
dies of various ages and skill levels cut,
assemble, sew, back and edge quilts for
kids and others. Fabrics feature pastel
flowers, brightly colored shapes, Dutch
girls, teddy bears, and other patterns for
little ones to snuggle under. Quilters try
to capture a design that will bring com-
fort and joy to a child.
From the initial selection of squares,
experience and decisions vary among
quilters. The time involved in construc-
tion of a final product can be from hours
to weeks. Machine and hand quilting
produce magnificently crafted blankets.
Pam Miller likes bright colors in her
quilts. She comes to the TSC group from
Georgia. This sewing dynamo complet-
ed and donated four twin quilts, two for
boys and two for girls. Pam’s an avid
seamstress and when asked how long
she’s sewn, she laughs and says, “Oh,
I’ve sewn forever!” She never seems to
slow down with her quilting, completing
