Dunedin, FL — An elderly couple was rescued from a sinking car on Sunday at the Dunedin Marina by three good samaritans.

It was just before noon on Sunday when 89-year-old Joseph Schlesselman and 86-year-old Ruth Schlesselman arrived at the Dunedein Marina to watch the boats. Joseph says his foot slipped from the brake to the gas pedal, causing his vehicle to accelerate over parking barriers and over the seawall into a boat slip.

Three good samaritans–Courtney Douthit, 32, Joseph Sentelik, 48 and Eric Corum, 42–jumped into the water and broke the victims’ rear window using a fire extingusher. They then pulled the couple to safety, while the vehicle sank.

The Schlesselmans were taken to Mease Dunedin Hospital with minor injuries. source.

Tendaberry Pier (Chapter Thirteen)Tendaberry Pier (Chapter Thirteen)  Welcome to Tendaberry Pier, a serial novel in progress.

  By turns stark, or even painful, yet with a lithesome humor always nearby, this initial effort by Tabanayan "Ya Ya" Yates is often thrillingly honest and always pleasingly thought-provoking. Laura Nyro’s New York Tendaberry is the Center Of Gravity around which this accretion disc is forming, and as a cognate paean to New York City, Tendaberry Pier will illuminate even the recessed back rooms and the front hallways of your mind as a rollicking epiphany, in the kind of staggered waves that grow as they go. Here we experience the love and empathetic pain that accompanies our comingled enlightenment as the story of 2012 unfolds, while Ya Ya's incisive natural expression forms the bowl this novel is purposefully being poured into. The snappy dialogue, the engaging insightful and imaginative story-telling, paints a picture of New York so real that it tastes like you're right up the lanes and alleys, and out in the parks and bars with these characters. It's been described by the Author as the human psyche on paper…on digital paper.
