inner. second program director programs here. at. the center of the fuse are. you know to make everything less wrinkled. i come from a trapeze family and the last time i performed with bianca and my sisters and my

mom it was actually one of the saddest days of my life i remember like it was yesterday to the last show and i was actually. bottling up there smiling to the audience with tears and my sisters were crying because that was the last time i was going to form with them. but i can't leave show business it's in my blood. when we read the people as they leave i'm standing there with randy and i listen to what the people say and you know i can tell if they are thinking old leader maybe it's time for you to hang it up and i don't get that i get

a lot of them letting me know that i'm inspiring. so i know maybe they should have a circus for artists over 50 what do you think. i the reason we have so many retired show people here is because this is where john ringling bros i'm. a one time it was great to have elephants in sarasota county. i mean

i was there in the fifty's when we got television and circus was going to die forever and now this is how many years later to start my dad. and they're funny i'm plotting myself. so i saw my watch list. you're bidding on to a circus collector's plate no. wonder if it has the certificate. of authenticity. now. ladies and gentlemen boys and. i must ask you for the silence as mr jacobs prepared to perform the full summer schools to

a single rather fully really seemed appropriate. dolly she did a full flower somersault but i've never yet today to tell a story so you know but there were many times where hands were slipping from the heat to spray sion the group was in there and you could have talked yourself you going to talk yourself because people bought a ticket they going to see showed you cause oh i don't feel like doing it now now. and you talk yourself into the new do or you just going to do it. in monaco they have 40 acts from around the world so it's like the oscars of the circus and it's not categorize like animal to acrobatic or it's all 40 acts from around the world competing so the best actor ring when's the gold

clown 1st place and 2nd place is the silver cloud so i was. lucky enough to win this over clown in 88 presented to me by prince albert. my uncle taught me a trick that as far as i know there's only been 2 people in the world that have done it and it's a double somersault with a triple twist so it's 5 different things and one feet and i did that in 1999. it's weird though as you get older the time seems to go by quicker. you know. you know i have a half of we have

a family friend that when i turned 21 he said enjoy it because from now on the time the years will go by quickly and he was right i mean here i am 52 and it just seems like yesterday i turned 21 to. watch life largo's let's ask let's go and. i can't wait to have dinner with my dad and i'm just there's almost anything she seems like you like being home so i think you can feel good in these teens. feel like you can do good in the next day and the day before. this hard to explain the feeling.

here you can swing all the way off til you can touch up there. my baby blah. blah blah good day. and into your c r morning y. e because there was the opening night. to day they have started. painting dishonoring no more. no more. everything's changing totally changed well. if i had a chance i would like to make dad in 20 again could top my little teen i don't blame all of that my big 12 individually you missed when i come to the last tweak

it wasn't in i keep dropping into that one need all the normal and then i will come . it tells me it's over but. anyhow. that's business show patience the show must go on. here very minute of it was beautiful. i have kids that want this and so i hide it because i don't want it to disappear. and cowher learned that made this.

but they don't make them like this no more this is why it's an empty i've been asked to put it in the museum down there but i don't want to. i'm selfish . this is probably in 52 this is either 62 or 63 on the way and this is what broke out there and then i come flying mail i ended up with a. sprained ankle lots of little tiny pieces of block charcoal in my back though because we were on a cinder lot. yeah. how long did it take you to get back up oh i was up the next day. i mean really when you get off on the circuit you have to keep going. keep going and she got

a broken down. only has 360. doing good. and i know. that. this is like an inventory basically you would have in a grocery store so here are all the jugglers i have percent and they are all the clowns and then we have the alamo it's just becoming a short department because i don't know where to put them and some of the produce i don't want to deal with these people these fanatic people so they don't even hire any anymore and then we have to aerial act and that's a very very big wide range. for people don't understand because anything ariel would be high. flying top piece single top piece girl

that's a big department all the way to here. this thing started in 6 in 191 and the next one was born in 730 and he was a banker and now comes the 1st perform and he was born in 1760 and that's why it all started about other rather that yes my grandfather yes all the gurlitz and the boys my mother. has myself yes count on his stomach and. my family are animal people and they are the most situation is becoming so difficult what would be a good performing for dominick what at the alamo should that be i call body sure the be dead of all. the top this will circus is in jeopardy here so what do

you want for your grandson i really don't know i can't answer this exactly. did you write the elephants to. your member no. more and. that's great news uber. this is very true mary free. from this is some pro or for all the bullish this is my. old girls this is our a teacher. i'm going to invest on park bigger than me. my mother lives with myself and pedro and as long as we've been home

and off the road from traveling she's with us. you know. it's funny because in good shape were you. here are better. off oh. yeah. i have a pick your or there is me yeah you know good for you. yeah trade here yeah.

you're. the reason i'm home now and not performing is because my father has parkinson's and he's very ill and i'm helping my mom take care of him. he was like me he's like me he was the catcher you know he was the strongest one of the true and to see him in the world here and now parkinson's is taken its toll pretty to. this is what i usually do at night after dinner we're not parents go to bed i'm not much of a t.v. watcher there are a few shows that i like to watch on t.v. but i i sit down and i put on my music and you know and costumes or ideas that i have. but it's tough sometimes you know

when i'm not performing i dreamed about it i'm glad i was a circus performer and even though it doesn't make you rich or enormously famous or at least i'm content and i'm happy about that. that the places i've traveled the people i've met. the you know where i've performed and it's it's been an amazing life. and i think that every night i can die happy and peaceful that i did what i enjoyed. it's great it's a great feeling. welcome to you all i'm so glad you came i was really excited about it really wonderful come

right in come right and enter my little studio my little my little wisdom area here come right ahead this is truly you know apartment and actually very obvious with the result a good affordable one came in but i love it dearly because it's just like i want it . you'll notice what i do with the make up i start here. and the cheeks. and i follow my laugh line watch the laugh line. you notice when i'm doing this i come more to life and you know it's fun doing this get younger look and that's nice. and. my walking came all hand me down my walking cane and my games. and.

i do a little clowning in some of the things here not much of anything but it's my nature i mean i can't help it. i can't get a life and i'm very unhappy.

well when i say we have somebody that's doing aerial work normally by the time they're 40 they're done do an aerial work. when a performer gets to the point where they're having trouble booking or their health won't let them work they have a major transition to make the transition is from what they've done to something new and different but they don't yet want to give up maybe tomorrow they'll get their booking or maybe tomorrow they'll be able to work again. if everybody was honest enough and knows when to quit that would be a good thing then at $100.00 less. people say she worked 18 horses and one morning and before she came to america she

had 24 style yards you know it wasn't done again great but if i would have dragged on and tried to go back and do so with one horse maybe a high school horse that would say she used. and done it hurt cried a lot right for a year. was all by myself. i died and opened you know but i died.

i want to go a little. too close to the ground. for. those pretty blue males who think that why is it twisting. look underneath it looks pretty level these are actually their rings that i performed on. i stopped doing rings and i believe it was 2000 and i was already diabetic. and my back was had a herniated disk so that year was all the different polls and i. had to have back surgery on that disk. it's

a very dangerous act anything you do in the air is dangerous but the rings you know 32 feet high full swing completely letting go you know only hanging on by your fingertips and with my back again it was time to. you know. hang it up. teach the kids now though the rings and. and i enjoy it actually i get up and demonstrate and the whole feeling is back. in a while. to look like. somebody said. i'll give you a job on the road would you go yes. in a heartbeat. in a heartbeat. i do wish that. because i enjoyed traveling with the

circus. whether we were in mud up to our knees or wheel or on nice cracks. or whether we were in pouring rain. or not. i mean i i still say that people say. sword ask gets under your feet. i wish i just stayed with the circus and not listen to my mother. i mean my mother said children need an education. so as soon as my one child turned 6 that's when i quit the circus. oh i've done many jobs working after getting off the road i went to work at tropical fish been doing that for so many years now my job just closed.

so now i'm looking for another job and i have a pet shops are not interested in somebody my age. i've always had $2.00 and $3.00 jobs at a time. i took care of trailer park took care of sick people. some circus people. but i've worked cheap otherwise i would have had money. i don't have money. i have nothing. al-jazeera good's beneath the waves with a team of women determined to save the dolphins we all share the same responsibility we need to do is i think today but that's become a thing out in my using a variety of scientific techniques to try to study their behavior we can monitor them for their vocal kowtows and behavior we're able to see how they're adapting to

it's very cruel the system could use them. elvis is entered the building. is entering the building. now watching kato i've forgotten where you are looking at. to look at me like that anymore. oh ah thank you we are. going down memory lane. this is in the very beginning. very very beginning of this track fact. because that.

is all that hair perry that. there is that caught me you made the kate talk i've never seen anybody use a cape the way he did this would seal the deal is look at that he could really the cape view that beautiful making the case. this is the softer from cellar certainly for that hot up as you can see the fridge you know so and that's how dolly and i met kind of when the glue was set i was practicing a sailor circus and dolly was pregnant said a circus and so that's me flying from the class ring i let go the class ring and use the rope ok so when i catch the rope right in the top and with a red mark my mark was there the string would break and i would fall about 20 feet . 2025 feet and then my bungee would stop me and i would be in the floor in 2

seconds you know but one day i was. booked in new york and unfortunately. i couldn't set the record myself there was a horse at liberty act that were performing so my rope and string and everything was set stage left. and so are both mustering up it's a very high string long swim and i jumped. and i grabbed the rope perfect. felt the string break down and the next thing i know i was on my back you know like i was like in shock because this was abnormal i had the rope in my hand i didn't miss the rope my brain was trying to compute what had happened and my ankles that were talking to me and say you're in pain because we're broken but what did happen is they had moved the rope untied the string and i forgot to check the bungee so there

was no nothing to stop me and yeah that was the basic. the how do you say they they they killed the flame. they used to be young and beautiful now and is beautiful. but consider. the. circus today is changing a lot because my son chimes people are saying so many things that play a good beach fantasy and it's not real said they expect an awful lot from. sackless physically ill people. working in which to day life i know are. and new kinds don't they don't get to emplace with that and you won't because they say too much china not yet c.v.

i knew she did most impossible things i love to watch sexual lay because. every change is. on. its plate and there you have some great performers on there but you don't know who they are. don't have a name. beautiful and entertainment but something. norma has made this. and she's made it from a picture and the picture is of my dad and my mom and willie and the edelsten had been made in 1948 or 49 and it was her gift to me for what i've done for her they call me for anything that relates to the non circus world the business side

i've been called to go to the funeral home to make final arrangements i've been called about wills and plan giving and trusts and how do i get medicaid and how do i get help for this or how do i get help for that. it started because my mother and father were circus people i respect what they did my mother said help these people. i came home from work the day my job clawed roost. and i see this big sign instead of a proper propertius he had it up for sale and now i don't know what's going to happen and my trailer is 79 thing. way too big to move to another trial. and even if it went to another trailer park i cannot

afford the rent. hi i've ever seen your of there so. did kathy speak to you about me 1st oh yes you have kathy said yeah my has a problem do you care if i have her car you know i really appreciate what she did for me so thelma has to make a choice of what she's going to do she cannot stay here for ever because the properties for sale and like most of the property up here. the state of florida is in transition we're going from a place where people could come live modestly live in trailers live in small quarters to a place where people come and live in big quarters brand new big quarters.

we want everybody to be the norm i mean my term i like to use is manicured acres we want every town to be manicured acres so we're the ones who make the rules it's not the government where the government so we're the ones that force these issues of we want how we want to control our neighbor what are unable to us with their property because it might affect our property so we make it difficult for anybody that is a little different a little special be this special negative or special positive show people are special positive but they're special in this transition they don't want to get rid of the trappings of circus so they need a spot where they could go with these trappings and as society gets more and more sophisticated it's harder and harder to find those spots we've started down a we've got

a little property up north where we subsidize we subsidize our own at 30 percent. so we've got to ready now wow i mean it's a big property just to have chantry lawyers on it it seems like a nice piece of property if they were really nice to have circus people next door tell you i'm going to go test the water go test the water oh that's it yeah just the water that's city water. she's tasting the water because she deals with food. so she says what is this water to. one of us from think is a good for my fish. ok babies. and of course i'd have to have paper. to wrap them but i'm not going to run. as will go into. the whole. well. read scale let's read. didn't even know it why did that.

wore out or out. when. ready doing i was going to cover it when you to try to make the march ok maybe on the outside i just didn't know what you were doing. here we're. only. showing this goodness all right here here. there's

a new. my me i see you or your good the horse training shoes again well i wasn't supposed to be a horse trading i was just looking and yes that's not the right shoes for horse training. but i'm not a horse trainer any wobble it as to where. i on the advice given by myself and i come in many shoes i wanted to find. it's a safety factor because my feet are already broken so many times can't be broken anymore. so i'm going to get up in the morning something else hurts and so what can i do now i didn't even do anything. but you work through it. when i was given the

opportunity to perform with dolly since we're both going away we're very similar you know our lives it was a it was an honor i've been wanting to work with her for years. dolly jacobson is fabulous. if you've never seen or she is a miracle in motion. because she's so beautiful out there. absolutely gorgeous. it took us a long time to perfect that trick because we couldn't get it in there was the time line where we were too old to do this. like in rehearsals i keep my knee holding

her back as well just for safety but in performance i actually take my knee away so it's a complete just to complete one hold and she's laying on my and my arm. even at the show when i have to control my hand i'm sending my tuxedo nobody sees me running the control of the 3 person act you know. and that really person is so. so important to the act you know they can make or break you. i'm also a funny person when it comes to learning a trick. when i go to see the ring on show and i see girls that have got a lot john it takes it away from me i just and. i enjoy the

anticipation of them doing their job perfectly without a problem. we're not a traveling circus have the facilities for a traveling circus we are. part of sarasota we're part of the community. dollar now we bought it can't we to bring to the bank borrowed some money for a used tent and put up a tent and you know if you build it they will come of course it's not true because is it a revival is it a car sales is it a service nobody knew what it was with them money for advertising there was a learning curve for us but as a nonprofit organization idea was to give back to the community you know really to give back to the circus and to raise the perception of the circus as an art form because young americans have preconceived perception that the circus carnival side

show or one that is not true ok the circus is separate is an art form dishing people work their butts off hours 1000 hundreds of hours to perfect something or beauty that they can display to the audience. of. art so it's gotten pinion. you don't. think that. his. sketches are the ones you've done in the past they looked much better than me so i use them absolutely. all the richer.

if it rains for 24 years. yeah. 20. while 4 more years it will be $24.24 but i did overlap so i did a few years rings answer after. this age that she is in great physical shape strength the beauty. to raise the bar she raised the bar that's why i tell you got to keep going to physically cannot do what ever your all i don't know bill might know you're going to grab people whose hearts and you spew emotion and only an artist can do that if you true artists. stop criticizing themselves and once that's my job you know but honestly there's there are days where you know you

question yourself and then there's days the teaches you know you love it so much and you don't look in the mirror and just feel like you're ageless. do you feel that you have to put on makeup on because she is getting older. don't

go there you know. but i mean. i would i would say less is more. this is the only justice and life. doesn't matter who it is going to be big tall short of feds for everybody got to get old that's very it can only grow old gracefully what about now. are you willing to bet jacket tonight or are you gonna wear the black and white chalk and. red jacket you're going to wear the black and white yeah hold the jacket. well how old are you when that was made for you ok let's see how. $4646.00 yes and america. where.

they. are a. few gently. should grow slowly. oh. fuck.

her. interest.

here. all. week to. you. and. there is no fear ok i can save is the fear i think if you have fear you can get 100 percent. fear out of the ring and out of the stage as. to what i love that's here. when i enter. during i feel i feel on top. and i don't want that feeling to go away .

if you see a family man. politicized by the forces of nature. filmed over 4 year it's a kenyan farmer documents his struggle for his community survival and builds a template for global action on climate change. he ceded the climate diaries a witness documentary on the counters here. i'm a lack of oz in the south of india to find out how a tiny box in this cave brought an extensive mining operation to a standstill coronavirus how he wept across the world with devastating effect and it's widely believed to be connected to the legal wildlife trade here in vietnam we did a rescue center for some of the world's most threatened animals and joining the call bring you the global wildlife very early on al-jazeera.

french guiana westwards that's the line of significant rain on the r.t.c. said that band of right because up and down around the world with the sun is on its way north now so it will start to boost the rain in panama or costa rica helped by this fairly steady well trade winds really which has got showers on the eastern end to the leeward dolls and they're probably stay there in fact they might even move back up towards puerto rico on friday night a band running through florida in between 2 it's fairly quiet and warm in fact temperatures in some parts of mexico are approaching record high values monterey's up to about 40 degrees now where cold beats wall along the southern states the us there have been yet more thunderstorms that have more to come. sponsored poll qatar airways. we town the untold stories. we speak when of a stone to. be cut off the east side. no matter where it takes
