Sarasota's 5 Things To Know: Pinecraft Featured On National Geographic Show

1. Set the DVR or tune in to the National Geographic Channel Tuesday at 10 p.m. and catch a glimpse of Sarasota's Amish and Mennotite community Pinecraft.

NatGeo was here during Thanksgiving to film for its 10-part documentary, Amish: Out of Order.Pinecraft appeared in last week's episode and is anticipated to be in this week's episode "Culture Clash." The series follows the lives of Amish and ex-Amish teens and twentysomethings challenges and triumphs in deciding whether to stay with their Amish beliefs and ways or depart and potentially be shunned by their community or family.

NatGeo is channel 276 on DirecTV, 109 on Comcast, 621 on Verizon HD and 360 on Bright House for those in North Sarasota and Manatee County.

2. Kentucky's Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson will make a special presentation to the City Commission at 1 p.m. Tuesday about how to restructure government while upgrading public safety and the city's quality of life. Abramson was the former mayor of Louisville and was named by both Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report as one of America's Top Mayors. Abramson's presentation will be during the commission's workshop in the Commission Chambers at . No public comment is permitted.

3. Retro child rearing is becoming en vogue in some areas (and controversial. See: Alicia Silverstone Feeding Baby/ Premastication). And in Sarasota, it's a wholesome retro movement with a cause finding some traction on Facebook. 

It's called Let's Cloth Diaper Sarasota. The goal is to "help local & national low income families obtain cloth diapers! We are here to give you local support and assistance and to promote the use of cloth diapers for all income levels, living situations, lifestyles and backgrounds!" They're trying to become a registered nonprofit. To learn more, visit facebook.com/letsclothdiapersarasotaflorida.

4. We're bringing in a 31-foot Patch RV to events throughout Sarasota where you can donate canned goods to beneft local food banks, and for doing so, we're giving away some awesome prizes in our raffles.

Here is the first of several events we're planning:

• Patch Give-A-Ton Food Drive April 27 5 to 7 p.m. at . Donate canned good/non-perishible food or sign up for Patch newsletter and receive coupon for free chips and medium drink with purchase of medium or large sub at Firehouse Subs. Limit 1 per person. Also raffling off gift card to Firehouse Subs.

5. And now for something entirely different ... Sometimes voyeurism into a stranger's life can be worth a laugh or two on YouTube. Look no further than what can be best described as Jimmy Johns Confessional. OK, well, it's a delivery driver Justin Speed, who doubles as a musician (or other way around) and YouTube vlogging afficianado Prince Yeti. He appears to be your average foul-mouthed partying twentysomething and there's nothing wrong with that.

Needless to say the videos are a strong Not Suitable For Work rating, but with getting 14,753 plays for his music and regularly averaging 6,000 to 9,000-plus plays for his daily vlogs, obviously someone thinks he's interesting and he's harnessed optimizing his social media skills creating a presence on tumblr and Twitter. We do, too, think it's interesting because we're all young and relatively carefree once.
