 We hear State Representative
Rich Glorioso of Plant City is tell-
ing people he is definitely running
for Hillsborough County Supervi-
sor of Elections.
 That race now has its two prin-
cipals identified: Glorioso for the
Republicans and Craig Latimer as
the Democrat, who is the current
second-in-command at the Super-
visor of Elections office.
 Republican County Commis-
sioner Victor Crist had been mak-
ing noise about the supervisor's of-
fice for months and months, but he
has filed his papers for reelection


to the commission for 2012. There
is another Republican, Julianne
De Priest, who announced for the
office, but Glorioso will garner all
the top Republican money and
support, so we doubt Ms. De Priest
will even qualify.
 The only other Democrat who
had announced was Jackie Beiro,
but she has withdrawn her can-
didacy. Currently, there is no
substantial Democratic candidate
in the wings talking of challenging
Latimer in the primary.

 Circa 1920s, Salvatore Nocilla's barbershop was located at 1813
Howard Avenue in West Tampa across the street from the original
Alessi Bakery building. At the time, haircuts were five cents. Pictured
left to right are ___ Salvatore Nocilla and Only scissors were
used -to snip hair. There were no electric hair clippers. Nocilla is hold-
ing the brush he used to apply shaving lather in preparation for a shave
with a long, folding razor which was kept sharpened by sliding it back
and forth on a leather strap. The walls were made of plaster with


wooden wainscotting. Note the spittoon on the floor in front of the
decorative table which held a coveted oscillating electric fan. In the
foreground, next to the table, is a cane seat chair for waiting customers.
In the background are two wooden rockers for clients waiting to be
served. Hanging from the tin ceiling are three bulbs of varying wattage
which provided the illumination for the shop.

 La escuela Jefferson High, en su primer afio como campe6n
estatal de la clase 3A en football y su entrenador en jefe Je-

hombros esta temporada por dos razones: despues de ganar
el campeonato estatal de Clase 3A del afio pasado, la primera
en la historic del program, todas las miradas estaran pues-
tas en los Dragones para ver si pueden repetir el exito del aio
pasado. Con la perdida de tantos jugadores talentosos debido

 Hoy es uno de esos dias en
que uno estd corto de ideas
para garrapatear sobre la pa-
gina que debe calzar en el es-
pacio destinado a la column
semanal de La Gaceta.
 Y es que el oficio de perio-
dista, aunque en la distancia
se le vea como asunto de co-
ser y cantar, no es fdcil, sobre
todo si tomamos en cuenta
que lo vertiginoso de los acon-
tecimientos que se precipitan
sobre el mundo y la infinita


sucesi6n de informaciones so-
bre los mismos hechos (pon-
gamos por caso la caida de
Kadaffi en Libia) hacen que
de pronto las nuevas (buenas
o malas) a difundir, terminan
siendo un "peri6dico de ayer"
como diria el finado Hector
Lavoe.
 Pero, dentro de ese labe-
rinto de palabras en el que
terminan cuajando todos los
sucesos, estan escondidas las
liebres de lo fortuito y el azar


se cuela para ayudarnos a
cumplir la labor semanal.
 Asi, una llamada telefoni-
ca de la dulce Daksha Sejpal,
contadora (y no de cuentos)
