Some of you may have opened a Fitbit for Christmas. Or, per haps, you purchased one or a similar fitness/activity tracker as part of a New Year’s resolution. I’ve been wearing one now since early September, and it’s depressing to see how much time I spend sitting ugh. For those who are unfamiliar, a Fitbit (which is what I have) tracks how many steps you take and miles you walk during a day. It knows your height, weight and gender, and it can then tell you how many calories you have burned each day. You also can track the food you have consumed, how you slept and any non-walking/ running activities such as bicycling or swimming. During an active day, my Fitbit will celebrate by vibrating on my wrist, alerting me to the fact that I have reached the calorie-burning goal. I had several days in which I have walked more than 10,000 steps. But if you want to really challenge your self, take a 7-year-old kid to Magic Kingdom. That day, we walked almost 25,000 steps for a total of 10.29 miles. “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah†indeed! We went back to Magic Kingdom with a 2-year-old and 6-year-old in February, racking up another 7.11 miles in one day. If you don’t want to pay Disney prices or battle Disney crowds, head out to the Myakka State Forest to get your legs moving and your Fitbit going. The 8,593-acre state forest, which kind of straddles the North PortEnglewood line at 2000 S. River Road, offers 13 miles of trails for hiking, bicycling or horseback riding. For some reason, I wasn’t paying attention to the lengths of the trails when I started off on my adventure. I remember thinking, “this doesn’t look too far,†as I started walking down the wide, sunny North Loop Trail with one small bottle of water.Explore a Florida forest CHARLOTTE COUNTY — Instead of adding a half-hour to the schedule, a committee recommended Tuesday increasing the number of elementary school days, which caught some Charlotte School Board members off guard. The committee also suggested putting all schools on a yearround schedule. The School Board had previously reached consensus that adding more instructional time to the elementary school day could improve student achievement. An “Elementary School Extra 30 minutes Committee†made up of elementary school teachers, principals and some district administrators and support staff examined how to do this, said Bryan Bouton, president of the Charlotte Florida Education Association, the union representing local public school teachers. Their recommendations were discussed Tuesday at a School Board workshop. Two principals on the committee — Peace River Elementary’s Jody Poulakis and Liberty Elementary’s Sheila Brown— were there to discuss the Committee recommends year-round school scheduleBy SOMMER BROKAWSTAFF WRITERSCHOOL | 6 A nice finish to the day SUN PHOTO BY BRENDA BARBOSAA recent sunset at Ponce de Leon Park in Punta Gorda.MURDOCK — Facing a need for future expansion, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce has unveiled a 10-year facilities forecast comprising a litany of proposed new buildings to consolidate and centralize operations. The long-range plan, presented without cost estimates by CCSO personnel at Tuesday’s Charlotte County Commission workshop session, involves the relocation of several substations, which do not meet functional and space requirements. Besides calling for the construction of various substations, the sheriff’s ofce also is seeking to upgrade the existing training annex, jail and Sheriff’s Office rolls out 10-year facilities planBy GARY ROBERTSSTAFF WRITERFACILITIES | 6PUNTA GORDA — A local brewery is donating more than $3,000 to charity as a sign of amends, after several people took offense to the name selected for a specially made St. Patrick’s Day beer. Beer-makers at Fat Point Brewing announced this week that they had created a milk stout fermented with Jameson Whiskey oak staves and Irish creme avor. Playing off the American beer cocktail called the “Irish Car Bomb,†which is made with some similar ingredients, Fat Point decided they’d call the brew “Car Bomb Stout.†Facebook blew up. “Whoever thought of the name Irish Car Bomb wants shooting,†commented Wayne Curr, of Sarasota. “Perhaps they weren’t around in Northern Ireland and England when car bombs were all the rage. Totally disgusting and ignorant.†While more than 200 Facebook followers “liked†the announcement of the tasty holiday beer, dozens of displeasing comments followed Curr’s. In a statement Tuesday, Fat Point apologized for the name (which was changed to “Shamrock Stoutâ€) and said it had donated $2,500 to the American Red Cross as a sign of its sincerity. The brewery also will contribute the $600 it makes from selling the 120 draft pints of Shamrock Stout Fat Point apologizes for ‘Car Bomb’By ADAM KREGERSTAFF WRITERBOMB | 6 SUN PHOTO BY CHRISTY FEINBERGArmadillos, which are not native to Florida, often forage for food in the evenings and at night. “Pregnant females always give birth to identical quadruplets,†according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “She produces one egg that splits into four identical ospring that are either all female or all male.

Our Town Page 4 C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWSSnowbirds are always happy to see what has changed in the area since their last visit. For kayakers, one change has been disheartening: Grande Tours, a favorite destination for many, has closed its doors. Captain Marian Schneider, who ran the popular destination for 25 years, sat at her dining room table last week reading heartfelt letters from past patrons. “Here’s one from a woman who says she learned to kayak here, then brought her grandchildren. She thanks me for the wonderful memories of how I helped them learn about nature,†Marian says. “Here’s another saying their Grande Tours kayaking trip was always the highlight of their vacation.†As she reads the letters out loud, she chokes up with emotion. “It was so hard to close the place,†she says. “It took me 25 years to build the business. It took a seven-hour garage sale a year ago to end it. It broke my heart to watch everything disappear,†she laments. For the past year, Marian has remained living seasonally in the home she built above the business. “I love this peaceful piece of land. I thought I would live out my days here,†she says. It almost happened. “For eight months, I had meetings with Mote Marine to have them take over the land. I wanted this land I love to be in the hands of good stewards who would protect it from development as I did. That way, I felt my legacy would continue.†Her only requirement for Mote, she says, was that she could continue to stay each winter in the apartment over the main building. “After eight months, they got back to me saying 1 acres was too small for their purposes. It broke my heart.†After a year of no alternatives, she made a phone call to one investor who owns other land around here and nationwide. “That’s all it took. One phone call and we had a deal,†she says. While she doesn’t think it’s her place to name the investor, she did say he is not a developer. She believes the land will sit for a while until he decides what to do with it. To some, it’s only an acre and a half of land along Coral Creek. To Marian, it’s her life’s work. “It’s my baby,†she says. “I gave birth to it and nursed it to be a place where people did more than take a boat ride or a kayak trip. It was my vehicle for environmental education. “I taught thousands of people about what Charlotte Harbor and every single thing in marine life means to the area. I gured if you teach people to love it, they’ll take care of it.†She isn’t leaving behind the exact legacy she wanted, but it’s a legacy nevertheless. While there won’t be a building she can point to, there are thousands of people who learned kayaking and learned new meaning to “a day on the water.†“There are hundreds of kids who gained an appreciation of nature when they came to our day camps. Hopefully, what was planted in them will bloom into a lifelong caring for the environment,†says the woman who rst introduced the term “ecotour†to the area. “I’m proud of how I worked relentlessly to promote conservation and to clean up Dog Island. I’m proud of how I built Grande Tours. But it’s time to go, and I’m sad to leave my baby.†While Captain Marian and Grande Tours will be gone from Placida, for many, neither will be forgotten.

She was 89. Dearly loved by so many, Dolly, who died last week, left a two-fold legacy so strong that it will continue long after her departure. The rst part of that legacy is OCEAN, Our Charlotte Elder Affairs Network, which she brought to reality with the involvement and support of nonprot agencies, businesses, churches, hospitals, senior-related organizations and many others, all working together to analyze unmet needs, advocate for solutions and increase awareness of elder services avail able in our county. OCEAN had its rst meeting in 1992 and has been fullling its mission ever since. But now, besides its monthly meetings, it has an annual Sunower Luncheon, a ower chosen by Dolly as a symbol of OCEAN — sturdy, providing not only beauty but the nutrition of its seeds. In a 1994 luncheon honoring Dolly, she was likened to a sunower: “beautiful and benevolent, resistant and resilient.†The second part of her legacy? She leaves behind all those who share her vision of Charlotte County with its seemingly ageless elders, active and involved, as a model for the world. In 1972, Dolly, a registered nurse, came from New Jersey to Port Charlotte, where she cared for her elderly mother. Perhaps it was seeking and providing that care and discovering what was and was not available that energized Dolly to become aware of needs and nd a way of addressing them. At about the time she moved to Florida, Dolly was aficted with a rare visual condition that progressively worsened. “But she never let that disability get her down,†says Linda Pounds, who was Dolly’s “staffer†and companion and who became OCEAN’s second president. It did, however, also involve Dolly in such organizations as the Cultural Center’s Council for the Blind, Council of Citizens with Low Vision and Visually Impaired Persons. In her 80s as the county began a process to renovate Parkside, a part of Port Charlotte that grew as a haven for retirees, Dolly became deeply immersed — as a founding member of the supportive citizen’s group, now known as Team Parkside, and of its Aging In Place committee. There was more to Dolly than elder care and advocacy. She had a beautiful voice and loved to sing. So Mondays she could often be found at the Cultural Center’s “Fun with Music.†She even taught a class in voice there. Also there on Mondays, she eyed a certain guitar player, Ed Dessart. Obviously he had also eyed her. They were married in 1978 — a marriage lled with music that lasted until “Eddie†died in 2013 at the age of 100. Dolly memories abound. Vikki Carpenter, director of Charlotte County’s Human Services, was a member of the small group that founded OCEAN. “What I remember most,†says Vikki, “Dolly was really, really enthusiastic. She led the charge mobilizing people.†Carol Dunekirchen, a local leader with AARP, calls Dolly “the strongest and most awesome advocate for seniors bar none.†Dolly’s son, Stephen Mason, adds, “She embraced and embodied dreams of Charlotte County becoming a gem for the world, of people aging positively and with grace.†As for the name “Dolly:†it comes from her father who called her “my little doll.†Dolly is survived by sons Robert Thomas Mason and Stephen (Jane) Mason; daughter Ann (Don) Marcus, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her husband, Ed Dessart, and daughter Theresa Mason preceded her in death. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. Monday, March 23, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, with inurnment to follow in the church’s Memorial Garden.

The bike ride proved more leisurely than the couple, winter visitors from Ohio, expected. Shortly after 1 p.m., the couple was among bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists stopped by Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputies at the foot of the mainland side of the Tom Adams Bridge. The bridge was stuck. “What can you do?†Tom York said. “We’re retired and there’s a beautiful breeze.†Beach Road trafc backed up from the bridge onto State Road 776. Deputies directed Manasota Key residents and other motorists to take the Manasota Beach Road north bridge onto the key. John Elias, Charlotte County Public Works maintenance and operations manager, said four large pins failed to lock properly beneath the drawbridge’s deck. The pins had to be manually locked down. The bridge was re opened to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians at 1:43 p.m. However, the county notied the U.S. Coast Guard that the drawbridge remained closed to sailboats and other large vessels. The county called a contractor to do repairs, which weren’t expected to be completed until 6 or 7 p.m. Tuesday, Elias said. However, the county issued a statement Tuesday afternoon cautioning, “If corrective action is needed, the bridge may need to be closed temporarily to affect repairs.†The county plans to replace and renovate the electrical and mechanical controls of the 53-year-old Tom Adams Bridge. Public Works projects engineer Chuck Koons said the county expects the project to go out for bid next month. In 2006, the county made structural repairs and replaced the deck of the drawbridge. However, in December 2013, the Sun reported how the Tom Adams Bridge malfunctioned for several days. According to Koons, bridges in the 1960s were engineered to have a 50-year lifespan. Now, drawbridges are designed to last 75 to 100 years.Email: reilly@sun-herald.comTom Adams Bridge stuck shut TuesdayBy STEVE REILLYSTAFF WRITER Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians make their way over the Tom Adams Bridge Tuesday after the drawbridge was reopened to trac.

Car bombs were used by the Irish Republican Army to ght against Northern Ireland during a conict known as the Troubles, which began in the late 1960s and lasted about three decades. The most notable attack came in 1972 during a day now known as Bloody Friday, when about 20 bombs — many in cars — exploded in Belfast, Northern Ireland, killing nine people and injuring more than 100. “Ironically enough, I’m Irish,†said Fat Point co-owner Duncan Scarry, 40. “But I’m probably not old enough to remember what happened. I’m just trying to make and sell beer, which is supposed to be a happy business. So, we’re trying our best to rectify the situation.†The popular Irish Car Bomb beer cocktail is made by oating Irish whiskey on top of Irish creme liquor in a shot glass, and then dropping the shot into a half-full pint glass of Guinness Beer. The allure, aside from the taste, is that the drinker is challenged to consume the beverage before it curdles. “I guess I was a bit surprised by the com ments,†Scarry said. “If you go to any bar and order that (beer cocktail) drink, people know what it is. It’s written on chalk boards everywhere. So, I didn’t think it would be offensive.†Some Facebook commenters agreed. “People just need to get over it,†wrote Rocky Gross, of North Port. “Before long, St. Paddy’s Day will be canceled because it will offend someone. A Car Bomb drink has been around for a long time.â€Email: akreger@sun-herald.comBOMBFROM PAGE 1 communications equipment, as well as meeting the challenges of the sprawling Babcock Ranch development. Cesar Lozada, the sheriff’s ofce planning and research specialist, told the commission that many of the current facilities are inadequate and expensive to lease, prompting the need for new quarters. One example, listed as a top priority, is the relocation of the District 4 substation, now operating out of Promenades Mall. Currently, the county spends $300,000 annually to rent space there, with the lease due to expire next year. With ongoing issues with the roof, ooring and air quality, Lozada said the building is not a good option going forward. Commissioner Ken Doherty agreed, saying, “We’ve got to get out of Promenades. It’s eating us alive with the rent.†Commissioner Chris Constance suggested using this “leverage†to negotiate a better deal with Promenades management, insisting that the necessary repairs be done and at a lower rental price, or the county would nd other accommodations. An alternative would be to purchase a Waste Management site on the 2300 block of Harborview Road and another property owned by the Florida Department of Transportation. The six-acre Waste Management site is listed for sale at $720,000; the status of the adjacent 10-acre FDOT property, half of which is used for water retention, is unknown. The new facility, which would be within the Charlotte Harbor Community Redevelopment Area, also would house the forensics/ crime scene and special investigations units. In addition, its location near U.S. 41 would allow patrols easy access to Port Charlotte and still be a quick commute to the Charlotte County Justice Center. “There would be sufcient space given the two locations,†Lozada said. “This is the only suitable site in the area for this facility.†Another instance where the sheriff’s ofce has outgrown its surroundings is at its headquarters in District 3 on Airport Road, which was built by the county but is leased from the Charlotte County Airport Authority for $84,000 a year and not scheduled for renewal until 2023. The problems with this facility, Lozada said, include a lack of proper ventilation for the existing forensics lab, no privacy for sensitive interviews with victims and offenders, and a general design not conducive to law enforcement. In addition, the long-range plan calls for improving the training annex, which includes the ring range, obstacle and driving courses, and training rooms. A new District 3 substation could be moved out near the proposed Babcock Ranch development east of Punta Gorda, which is expected to have a population of 12,500 when it is built out in 2023. According to the development agreement, county officials said Babcock Ranch would be required to put up the shell of a building for police, fire and emergency medical services. And nally, the District 2 substation located in a storefront in Port Charlotte Town Center mall is small and inefcient, Lozada said. The 10-year plan identies the county-owned Murdock Village as being a possible destination that could provide the minimum 10 acres needed for a future substation. Commissioner Stephen R. Deutsch summed up the meeting by stating the quality of public safety is an asset to Charlotte County and he supports maintaining that level of service. However, he said the 10-year facilities forecast is only a proposal at this point. “A good part of it is a wish list,†he said.Email: groberts@sun-herald.comFACILITIESFROM PAGE 1 committee’s ndings, including its top three recommendations. The rst recommendation was “making elementary schools whole again.†Poulakis and Brown explained this meant getting back the support positions, which helped teachers do their jobs back when the district was considered among the best in the state. “If you’re going to look at xing the problem, you have to look at restoration of things that were there before,†Bouton said. “It has to be something substantive. It cannot be a Band-Aid.†The second recommendation was adding ve days to the elementary school year for each of the next three school years — for a total of 15 additional days by year three. The committee’s report said this lessens the “summer slump†of students regressing between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. Students currently attend classes for 180 days a year. Third, was a yearround schedule for all schools with added days to the K-12 students’ calendar along with seven additional professional development days. This would also stop students from regressing as much over the summer, according to the recommendation. Having everyone on the same schedule and more professional development days would also allow for more time for collaboration and teamwork in professional development, committee members said. Two Punta Gorda elementary schools, Sallie Jones and East, already follow a schedule considered to be year-round. School Board member Ian Vincent, who has been pushing to add 30 minutes to the regular school day, said he was “a little frustrated.†School Board Member Barbara Rendell added she also thought she would hear more on how adding 30 minutes to the regular school day would affect the schools. Charlotte County Public Schools Superintendent Doug Whittaker explained he directed the committee to look at “learning time for kids†in general, which is why its recommendations didn’t just fall into the category of adding 30 minutes to the school day. Poulakis and Brown said they looked into the extra half-hour, but it wasn’t something that worked, partly because of the loss of planning time and impact on professional development. They determined that cutting into planning would have a negative impact on scores, not a positive one. Nearby school districts such as Sarasota, DeSoto and Lee, already have on average a half-hour longer elementary school day than Charlotte, but that hasn’t necessarily increased the amount of time focused on instruction itself, committee members said. Rendell said the committee’s ndings led her to change her mind on a longer school day. “There is no way I would be willing to impose an extension of the regular school day,†Rendell said. “I’m not willing to gut professional development, team planning and professional learning communities they (teachers) really need.†Whittaker said he would have to get specic budget information before he made any recommendations based on the committee’s report. Email: sbrokaw@sun-herald.comSCHOOLFROM PAGE 1 COMMITTEE FINDINGS“Elementary School Extra 30 minutes Committee’s†three key recommendations: Making elementary schools “whole again†with restoring some positions previously cut including full-time media specialists; full-time physical education teachers; full-time Exception Student Education liaisons; office assistants; custodial workers; social workers, band instructors and other jobs. Increasing the number of elementary school days to 15 days by the 2017-18 schoolyear, by adding five days each of the next threeyears. Year-round schedule for all schools including more days on the K-12 student calendar and adding seven professional development days. CHARLOTTE COUNTY — With national research showing hunger can impair academic per formance, schools offer free or reduced meals to students in need during the week. Jolene Mowry, who founded BackPack Kidz in 2010, lls in the gap on weekends for elementary school children. The program expanded from two elementary schools the rst year to nine out of 10 elementary schools and the Charlotte Harbor School for special needs. Vineland Elementary School in Englewood is the one school the program doesn’t serve because it is served by a church. Mowry’s organization served 1,400 kids backpacks each week at the start of this school year, but had to cut back to serving only 840 kids by mid-school year. She said she had stepped back due to health issues, and there just wasn’t as much money raised. “When it looked like we might not be able to nish the entire year to feed all the children in January, we decided to make sure we would be feeding the homeless and children we know have no food when they go home,†she said. “This is the rst time we have had to do that.†She hopes to also serve “those who may not go without food completely, but if they had food it would take some stress off of the family.†Volunteers, including some fth-grade students, ll backpacks with items kids can easily consume without refrigeration or cooking such as Yoo-hoo chocolate beverage, applesauce, and cereal each week. These backpacks are distributed to schools each Friday. “It’s a full-time job, and I’m not making any money, but I have a smile every Friday,†Mowry said. The program runs under the umbrella of the Yah Yah Girls, Inc., a nonprot corporation with 25 female members based in Punta Gorda. Kate Keys, a former Lemon Bay High School student now homeschooled while working on her musical career, is holding a second annual fundraiser to benet BackPack Kidz. This year, it will be 6:45 p.m. Saturday at the Cultural Center of Charlotte County. She raised nearly $3,200 last year. “They were very grateful for it,†she said. “It makes me feel good knowing that I’m helping someone.†Mike Riley, a spokesman for Charlotte County Public Schools, said there is a great need for this type of program with about 66 percent of the student population — 10,361 students — on free and reduced lunch. As a rhythm guitar player for The BoogieMen band, Riley organized one of the rst fundraising performances. “It is the purest form of charity,†Riley said. “It’s an amazing group of ladies that do this, and these children, a lot of them, would be hungry if they didn’t do this.†Peter Babbitt, a Punta Gorda resident, was looking for a place to volunteer after retiring and became one of the rst volunteers. “There’s no better place to volunteer than helping out with the elderly and the young, and I especially like helping out the young,†Babbitt said. Muriel DeStefano, treasurer, said there has been practically no over head with all volunteers running the program except for insuring the volunteers who go into the schools. The insur ance cost is usually paid mostly through dues from the Yah Yah Girls, so at least 98 percent of the proceeds go toward paying for food. The backpacks cost $5 each week for one child, $160 for each weekend all year. The annual fundraising goal is $225,000. Other challenges include nding a new warehouse, and a grant writer, and they are always looking for more volunteers. DeStefano said Parr Marine Construction has been generous in allowing the use of part of its warehouse space to store and pack the food for four years, but now needs the space back. Donations made payable to the Yah Yah Girls or BackPack Kidz, can be mailed to her attention: 1133 Bal Harbor Blvd., Unit 1139, Punta Gorda, FL 33950.

The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net C Our Town Page 7 The North Loop Trail actually covers more than 4 miles, and I was determined to see the campground site on the Myakka River, making for an extra long, but incredibly peaceful hike. I was pleasantly sur prised to nd a campre pit, picnic tables and even a small pier once I reached the river. Small campers and tents are allowed, but there is no electric or water available. The Myakka State Forest is less expensive and less crowded than most state parks — especially the similarly named Myakka River State Park in Sarasota County. There, finding parking can be challenging and you’ll likely see more people than wildlife (even though there are a lot of birds and alligators there). What’s worse than seeing a lot of people in nature? Hearing them. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people loudly squawking, drowning out the sounds of chirping birds or splashing fish. That’s one of the reasons Myakka State Forest is special: It’s so quiet that the sound of an armadillo rustling in palmettos seems amplied, and thus when rounding a corner I expected to see a Bengal tiger instead of the small rodent-like knight in armor. Myakka State Forest is part of the state’s Trailtrotter and Trailwalker programs. Those who choose to participate can earn credits toward merit patches. For more information on the Trailwalker program, go to www.freshfromorida. com/Divisions-Ofces/ Florida-Forest-Service/ Recreation/Hiking. “The benets are many when you par ticipate in the Florida State Forests Trailwalker Program,†states the website. “You get to improve your level of physical tness at your own rate. Your only competitor is yourself. Also, you get to experience the beauty of Florida’s State Forests. The oppor tunity to have personal experience with nature is rare these days, and this program will give you that opportunity.†Information about the Trailtrotter program also is available on the website — just click on “Horse Trails.†The Trailwalker program, or having my job or going to Disney World, is a great way to have fun while adding steps on your Fitbit. By the day’s end of my recent trip to the Myakka State Forest, I had logged 20,521 steps for a total of 8.43 miles and no one asked me if I wanted to build a snowman or if I thought I could y. And I kind of missed that. Oh well until my next Disney visit, “Heigh-ho, heighho. It’s off to work I go.†Christy Feinberg is a senior writer/columnist for the Sun newspapers.

LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS PORT CHARLOTTE — A local man arrested last week for allegedly raping an 8-year-old girl is now facing drug charges. Michael Boccio II, 29, was previously charged with three counts of sexual battery. According to a Charlotte County Sheriff’s report, Boccio drove the girl to a wooded area earlier in the week and performed a painful sex act on her, made her perform a sex act on him, and then had intercourse with her. It’s unclear from the report what the girl’s relationship is to the accused. A sheriff’s release Tuesday says Boccio has additionally been charged with possession of cocaine, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after a search of his home on Mount Prospect Avenue. Aside from the drugs, authorities found $18,000 in suspected drug money, 104 vials of suspected steroids, eight vials of suspected Viagra and ve vials of suspected Cialis. Everything, including the cash, was seized. Additional charges are pending the results of lab tests for the contents of the vials. Boccio is being held in the Charlotte County Jail on more than $3 million bond.FHP: Injured teen at fault for major car crashSOUTH OF PUNTA GORDA — A teenage girl who was injured in a major car accident Monday morning on U.S. 41 was at fault for violating the right of way from a stop sign, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Our Town Page 10 C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Agents needed designated driverEditor: If, this president (or any president) cannot control the agency responsible for his safety, is there any reason to expect he can control anything? If you read about the latest incident where two agents smashed through a White House barricade after a party for a retiring agent, you realize that even the simple and responsible practice of designated driver was not employed. This is only another in a series of black eyes on this agency and this administration. And what happened to the agents involved? They were reassigned to “non-supervisory and non-operational†positions. There are no consequences in this administration. How about ring them?Jenny Veary EnglewoodWould prefer palm treesEditor: The trees planted alongside the street on North Salford, particularly the ones from Simkins Street to Eldron, are an eyesore. Most are dead or sickly looking. They haven’t done any thing since they were put in several years ago. I would like to see People for Trees or whoever put these in, remove them. Perhaps they could be replaced with about half as many as they are way too close anyway. Try some stately Florida palms?Robert Ernest Currier North Port‘Gross errors’ in articleEditor: The Sun made a gross factual error in the March 7 article about “Bird Pass.†The author wrote that the proposed cut-through at Alligator Creek for boaters of Punta Gorda Isles would be 15 feet instead of 50 feet wide. In the PGI boating community, that is a major misstatement, particularly when it would be difcult for one boat to safely navigate such a narrow channel and virtually impossible for two boats to safely simultaneously navigate the same location. Additionally, the Sun was wrong again in the same article that the only access to the PGI canal system is through Ponce de Leon inlet. This letter isn’t about the cutthrough however. It is really about your inability to get the facts straight. Lastly, I’m disappointed in the editorial staff of the Charlotte Sun . It’s not as if there was a short deadline for preparing the article. It was published four days after the presentation about the cut-through. As a newspaper that prides itself on supporting the boating community of Charlotte Harbor, I’m disappointed that there is only a modicum of editorial oversight of its staff writers.Robert Reed Punta GordaJust following trac ‘guidelines’Editor: This letter is for the writer with vast experience driving in many other countries who feels Floridians are the worst drivers he’s ever encountered. In an effort to enlighten those of similar experience, I’d like to offer some explanation as to why we drive the way we do here in the Sunshine State. First, we see trafc laws as an assault on our freedom. We consider them as suggestions to be followed when convenient and ignored when not. Slower trafc keep right? I don’t think so. I‘ll be turning left 10 miles up the road and switching lanes is such a hassle. Same for the left turn signal. Canceling the turn signal, then reapplying it a few miles down the road seems anti-productive, and therefore, un-American by nature. Besides, it will automatically cancel out when I suddenly make a right turn from the left lane anyway, so no wasted effort. Yes, we Floridians probably have the highest population of elderly drivers to be found anywhere across the globe, but we make up for it by having the highest number of legally medicated drivers with the most physical ailments ever assembled. These simple facts are symbols of Floridian pride. To relieve anxiety while navigating our ne state, feel free to do as we do. Scream at other drivers whose driving behaviors offend you whether your windows are up or down. Just remember the rules, anyone driving faster than you is a maniac and those driving slower are all idiots. Enjoy!Michael Rodgers North PortWhy the complaints about institutions?Editor: This is in response to a letter in the Sun on March 13. If the man thinks we have a terrible school system, a ter rible government and terrible electoral system maybe he shouldn’t even come here to enjoy our God-given beaches and saltwater shing. Lots of people come here to enjoy these God-given rights and don’t give a care about our schools or our government. What is the problem? Maybe he should leave and not come back. Gayle Harper Port CharlotteAppreciates eort on lm seriesEditor: I’d like to thank your reporter Sommer Brokaw publicly for her sustained and thorough coverage of the Black History Film Series sponsored by Charlotte Mid-County Library and Blanchard House Museum of African American History & Culture, and supported by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Charlotte County. Ms. Brokaw was there for every one of our four lms and often stayed late, taking notes, conrming names and recording comments that later appeared with remarkable accuracy. Her reporting of the harsh realities of mass incarceration of minority peoples, so disturbingly portrayed in the lms, has helped bring this peculiarly American practice to light — especially insofar as Florida leads the nation on some of the most troubling of these issues. With current sentiment running high for prison reform, this is the time for all of us to become informed about the effects of imprisonment of so many young people for non-violent drug offenses. Thank you, Ms. Brokaw, for helping to shed light on the issue.Sharon Whitehill Susan Taylor Port CharlotteRestaurant left a great impressionEditor: As an avid reader of the Sun , I feel inspired to write a critique of a wonderful restaurant we visited last night, The Placida Grill. The food was extremely well-prepared, the service was good and well-timed. The owner appreciated our business and the other diners encouraged me to write this letter. We enjoyed a tablecloth, cloth napkins, fresh owers, good wine and no smokers. We would return to this lovely place with our guests from the North. Lynda Polachowski PlacidaPrinciples to live byEditor: Some non-religious-worthy principles: Honor the USA. Have no other country above or before it. Do not follow those who preach hate. Be thankful for our great country. Honor your father and mother. Do not murder, commit adultery, steal, lie or desire others’ possessions. Result: Longer, better marriages. No wars. True happiness. Sun.Frank Demma Rotonda WestMany questions, answers neededEditor: Just thought I would ask. (Do readers have any of the same questions?) Why doesn’t the city put in double yellow lines from Marion to the bridge to eliminate the now common practice of cars speeding down the left lane, and then dangerously forcing their way back to their right to save a few seconds? (Other ideas?) What are the legal crosswalk markings where a car is supposed to stop and yield to walkers? Are there any crosswalk signs to just tell the driver to be alert because this is where people sometimes cross? Do cars have to stop for school buses from Marion and Bal Harbor to Hibiscus Drive that has an island with trees separating the two roads? Is it possible to put yield signs up at the YMCA on North Marion where it splits to go to Ponce de Leon Park? I always wondered if it was legal for the police to hide on private property, without the owner’s permission, to catch violators of the law? After all the game show problems of the past, it doesn’t look good for Pat Sajak to have his hands on the pads during the bonus round. I am sure everything is on the up and up, but it doesn’t look right. The elderly would be helped by reading these answers.Paul Sess Punta GordaTransportation issue hits homeEditor: In Sunday paper, dated March 8, in “Our View†transportation issue. I drove school bus for CCPS for 13 years. When I retired I was told by human resources that I could not drive bus for one year. One year later, I applied for bus driver. (Have all endorsements for school bus and passenger Class B). I was told that I would have to start all over, plus pay for ngerprints.

HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOREmail letters to letters@sun-herald.comChairman — Derek Dunn-Rankin Publisher — David Dunn-Rankin Executive Editor — Chris Porter Editorial page editor — Brian Gleason Editorial writer — Stephen Baumann Editor — John Hackworth V IEWPOINT City Council must make choice, policyOUR POSITION: Council’s choice on whether and how to proceed with channel project.The Punta Gorda City Council today will schedule a workshop to discuss a proposed channel connecting the canal in the so-called “bird section†of Punta Gorda Isles to Alligator Creek and Char lotte Harbor. Beyond picking a suitable location for the size of the crowd expected to attend, the council should refrain from commenting on how the channel process would or would not work. In his weekly column published today on the adjacent page, City Manager Howard Kunik references an unrelated underground utility proposal in Burnt Store Isles and a prior channel proposal — both unsuccessful — as models for how the council may proceed. That model would put the onus for establishing a detailed assessment methodology and a voting phase on the not-for-prot Punta Gorda Boaters Alliance, which raised more than $8,000 to fund a channel feasibility study it presented to the council. (Sun Editorial Page Editor Brian Gleason is vice president of the PGBA.) The PGBA, which has ex tremely limited funds raised from member organizations’ dues, should not be expected to perform city functions such as taxation and voting arrangements, even with assistance from city staff. Rather, council should direct staff to coordinate those tasks with input from the PGBA and other organizations. Only the city can levy a tax on proper ty owners or call an election on that assessment. We’re eager to hear from council members on this past approach, but the issue today is to schedule a meeting. It would be premature for city staff or council members to preordain the use of a certain process or model at today’s meeting, given the space restrictions at City Hall for interested parties. At a March 2 presentation at the Isles Yacht Club organized by the PGBA, more than 400 people attended. The council workshop is likely to draw as many or more people. It would be better to leave such determinations for the workshop and subsequent regular City Council meetings. We do not presume to speak for the PGBA board or its members, but we do know that the organization has neither the expertise nor resources — not to mention authority — to establish the taxing and voting processes needed to establish a special district to fund the channel project. We’re also not sure why a decade-old, unsuccessful under ground utility proposal is being held out as a model for how any bird cut channel process would work. None of the current City Council members served at that time and we suspect that if the council were to move ahead with the project, members would want to outline a process they felt condent would succeed. The PGBA is a service organization, not a political one. The bird cut project will almost certainly become politicized as details emerge about how it will be accomplished. The fallout from any controversy could undermine the organization’s ability to perform its mission of promoting boating, boating safety and environmental stewardship in the Charlotte Harbor area. The PGBA has demonstrated it can and will assist city staff in any practical way to gather information and show public support for the channel. The City Council’s job is to assess the utility, cost and popularity of any proposal, decide whether or not to move forward and direct staff to put the necessary taxation or voting procedures in place to accomplish its policy. Just not today.

The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net C Our Town Page 11 VIEWPOINT City Council will consider, at today’s meeting, the scheduling of a workshop discussion at a date, time and place to be determined regarding a proposed Alligator Creek Access to Charlotte Harbor (Bird Section cut-through). Last week’s report summarized the recent Boaters Alliance meeting at the Isles Yacht Club on March 3. This week’s report is intended to provide some history over the past 10 years pertaining to the potential project. To set the stage, a similar effort was initiated between 2002 and 2003 in the Burnt Store Isles community, which was considering a project to place overhead utilities underground. Committees were formed to solicit information and obtain input from property owners in BSI. Their plan was to create a special utility assessment district and a special voting district within that community to determine if the property owners within BSI were willing to pay for the project. City Council requested BSI specify streets and lots to be included in the project, develop an assessment methodology and nancial plan, and determine a voting process. In working with city staff, BSI completed all requested actions and after project information was disseminated throughout the community in 2003, property owners voted not to pursue undergrounding utilities. Over the past 10 years, City Council has received numerous communications from residents regarding the perceived benets of a cut-through, some of which include: Lessens pressure and relieves congestion at Ponce Inlet; better and quicker access to the Gulf of Mexico and to safe harbor in case of storms; less rapid seawall erosion through Ponce Inlet and the rim canal; less stagnation and better water exchange resulting in improved wildlife and sh habitat; increases to land value and attractive to homebuyers and buildings; positive nancial impact on economy; reduction in fuel costs of boaters and emissions and environmental impact from boats; and enhance marketing of Punta Gorda as a boating community. Past city councils as well as the current City Council have been consistent in their mantra (which is the same as the previous noted BSI undergrounding) to the Boaters Alliance and other interested parties requesting the cut-through. Devise an overall plan, dene the beneted area, develop projected costs and an assessment methodology and obtain input from the beneted area as to willingness to pay for all portions of the project — design and permitting, construction, assessment district administration and annual maintenance. Since 2005, such groups as Team Punta Gorda Waterfront Committee, Boaters Alliance and city established committees (Waterfront Development Advisory Committee, Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles Canal Advisory Committees, Revitalization Committee) with city staff in attendance have discussed the project and some have presented overall plans in various forms. Missing from these efforts was a clear denition of the beneted area, ne-tuning of projected costs and assessment methodology. At times, the council received recommendations that the whole Punta Gorda community or all of Punta Gorda Isles should pay for the project. Those recommendations received considerable opposition from members of the above committees as well as the general citizenry. Now, the recent Boaters Alliance engineering feasibility study performed by Wilson & Associates (www. alligatorcreekaccess.org) has identied a specic beneted area and included more rened project costs, timeline and estimated assessment per property. A more detailed assessment methodology will still need to be developed and agreed upon. In addition, a voting phase to gauge public opinion in the beneted area will also be considered.BSI meetingI presented a nancial overview and sales tax project update to the Burnt Store Isles Association. Attendees commented favorably on future efforts to enhance Punta Gorda Pathways (i.e. U.S. 41S bridge underpass widening, Laishley Park connection behind Marina Building and Crab House Centre, Airport/Cooper MURT and Harborwalk West). The option to consider a 48-gallon recycling cart with lid versus the current 18-gallon bins received a mixed reaction. Council Member Nancy Prafke attended.

SCADA upgradesThe Charlotte County Board of Commissioners recently approved upgrades to a monitoring system that will benet Charlotte County Utilities’ wastewater treatment facilities exponentially. CCU’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) program allows electronic monitoring that is acceptable to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency (FDEP). The program provides improved security protection and helps to better utilize staff. The monitoring system offers a more secure position against potential cyberattacks, which could jeopardize water quality and service. SCADA also helps to staff the facilities efciently — without the SCADA system, CCU would need to staff the smaller facilities 24 hours a day. CCU’s low-pressure sewer work group recently completed the inow and inltration upgrades to all Low Pressure Sewer (LPS) systems within the Charlotte Harbor Lift Station 72 sewer basin. This is a test area for the LPS tank modications that the CCU wastewater collection department has designed in order to reduce inow and inltration. Flows will be monitored through the rainy season and compared to last year’s numbers in determining the effectiveness of the modications.LIHEAP updateOur human services department received notication from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity of the 2015-2016 grant award for the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Charlotte County. We anticipate receiving $379,774 for this year’s assistance, which will begin on April 1. It is expected that approximately 1,000 low-income households will benet with assistance for their energy bills from this program during this new grant cycle. Earlier this month our family services division approved 38 Home Energy Assistance applications and two Crisis Home Energy Assistance applications totaling $11,793.33 in benets. The current 2014-2015 LIHEAP grant cycle ends March 31.TweetupsSocial media continues to strengthen as a marketing tool and the Charlotte Harbor Visitor and Convention Bureau hosted two Tweetups during the rst week of Tampa Bay Rays spring training games. A Tweetup is an event where people who use Twitter (and other social media channels) come together to meet in person. When sharing their experience they use a hashtag which pulls together social media posts, allowing followers of that hashtag to follow the conversation. The hashtag for these two events was: #RaysST15. The two Tweetups generated an estimated 1.8 million impressions on Twitter reaching more than 107,000 individual Twitter accounts. Participants also shared the experiences on other social media channels including Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and YouTube. Ray Sandrock is the Charlotte County administrator.

In doing some research for a board on which I serve, I was reminded by Debbie Guilbault of CareerSource of Southwest Florida that there is a Work Opportunity Tax Credit program that encourages employers to hire applicants from targeted groups by offering them a federal income tax credit. The WOTC can reduce an employer’s federal tax liability up to $9,600 per new hire, depending on the target group. Visit http://www.oridajobs. org/business-growthand-partnerships/ for-employers/ nd-tax-credit-andincentive-programs/ work-opportunity-taxcredit-program. Another opportunity would be an On the Job Training where CareerSource reimburses the employer for 50 per cent of the wages for the rst six months. That is not a tax credit, but an actual reimbursement for hiring a low-income individual. You can reach Debbie at 941-235-5900, ext. 3230, or visit www. careersourcesouthwest orida.com.

Our Town Page 14 C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS Good day to all! Did you know the names of many thoroughfares in Punta Gorda memorialize friends and family of founder Isaac Trabue? Trabue purchased about 30 acres — records indicate for $500 — on the bay from James Lanier in February 1883; then had the town of Trabue platted in February 1885. Although its name was changed to Punta Gorda in December 1887, streets remained as originally laid out. Trabue designated east-west thoroughfares, generally paralleling the bay front, as avenues, with one exception, Retta Esplanade, named for Henrietta Trabue, an elderly aunt, and Isaac’s older sister, Henrietta Jane, both nicknamed “Retta.†In the mid-to late 1800s, esplanade was a popular designation of open areas along rivers or large bodies of water where people could walk. And, in fact, the street was much closer to water at the time. Moving away from the bay, Marion Avenue is next, named for an older brother and sometimes misspelled Marian, the feminine form. Then Olympia, for Trabue’s cousin, Olympia Dupuy, and Virginia, after his wife. Next is Charlotte, for Virginia’s mother, Charlotte Taylor, also a well-known naturalist and entomologist (a scientist studying insects) in the mid-19th century. The nal avenue in Trabue’s town is Helen, for his younger sister, Judith Helen Trabue, spelled Hellen on the plat. In addition to the ve avenues and one “esplanade†on Isaac Trabue’s town plat, there are 28 streets. Most run in a southerly direction away from the bay front, but there are also seven angular “perimeter†streets. Only portions of two remain as platted. Henry Street, named for Trabue’s physician brother, originally extended beyond its intersection with West Marion Avenue, to about where Bal Harbor Boulevard begins today. That section was made part of Marion Avenue some time ago. Portions of William Street, named for another brother, uncle, and cousin, also still exist. The remaining perimeter streets have been lost over time to city expansion and development. John, after an uncle and cousin, ran northeast from the intersection of Henry and Shreve, ending at Chasteen Street between Virginia and Charlotte Avenues. Robert, for nephew Robert Berry Trabue, connected William and Taylor streets just north of Helen Avenue. Stephen, for Isaac’s grandfather, an older brother, and nephew, tracked southeast from Robert Street’s inter section with Taylor to just west of Wood Street, south of Helen, where it met Edmund Street. Edmund, with a “u,†for nephew Edmond, and Willet, for nephew Willet Chastain Trabue, formed the town’s eastern and northeastern boundaries near the 400 and 500 blocks of East Marion Avenue, with Willet running northwest from Edmund to the bay. Trabue’s plat can be viewed on the Charlotte County Clerk of Circuit Court’s website. Once the site is accessed, select “Searches,†then “Plats and Condominiums.†At the “Description†box, enter “Trabue,†select “Submit,†then “Trabue†and an image of the plat will appear. Interestingly, it is drawn with a southerly rather than northerly orientation.

After the initial exit poll results were announced, Netanyahu declared victory on Twitter. He said he had already begun to call potential coalition partners about forming a new government. “Against all odds, we achieved a great victory,†Netanyahu later told his supporters in a packed hall in Tel Aviv about 1 a.m. Wednesday. “Now we have to form a strong and stable government.†But Herzog said Netanyahu’s victory declaration, ahead of nal results and coalition formation, was premature. “We’re going to wait for the true results,†Herzog told his supporters. “Everything is still open.†Exit surveys released immediately after the polls closed at 10 p.m. showed Netanyahu and his rightist Likud party Virtual tie in Israel voteWILLIAM BOOTHWASHINGTON POST WRITERExit polls show Netanyahu, Herzog neck and neck AP PHOTOAn Israeli border policeman votes in Hebron, West Bank, Tuesday.

The United States was less upbeat, with ofcials saying the sides had made progress but still had a ways to go in eliminating differences over what Iran had to do for a gradual end to sanctions. “There’s no doubt they have made substantial progress over the past year,†said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. “Reaching an agreement is at best 50/50.†The sides face two deadlines: an endof-March date for a preliminary deal, and a June deadline for a comprehensive agreement that lls in the blanks.

The results indicate that pathologists are very good at deter mining when invasive cancer is present in breast tissue, but less adept at making the right diagnosis with less serious conditions or when biopsied tissue is normal. The study involved 115 U.S. pathologists and 240 breast biopsy specimens. Their diagnoses were matched against those of three experts. It was an experiment and may not reect what happens outside a research setting, but the authors say the results highlight the challenges of accurately inter preting tissue under a microscope. The study was published in Tuesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

(AP) — A spokesman says allegations that St. Louis County police used excessive force when arresting a man accused of shooting two ofcers in Ferguson are “completely false.†Defense attorney Jerryl Christmas on Monday suggested police may have roughed up his client, Jeffrey L. Williams, saying Williams had bruises on his back, shoulders and face and a knot on his head. Police spokesman Brian Schellman called the lawyer’s assertions false, adding that Williams was seen by a nurse when he was booked into the county jail, standard procedure for all incoming inmates. “The nurse released Williams as t for connement,†he said. Williams is accused of shooting the two ofcers early Thursday outside Ferguson’s police station.Charges dropped in case against accused rapistLITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Criminal charges against an accused rapist were dropped Tuesday due to concerns about the credibility of the victim as a witness, the prosecution said. Milton Thomas, 58, a parolee charged last year with raping a 70-yearold widow, gured prominently in a recent Associated Press investigation of a national movement to use surveys to predict which prisoners or ex-inmates will commit future crimes. Thomas, who was quoted in the AP investigation saying he was innocent, was assessed three times with three different outcomes. States are trying to reduce prison populations with these secretive assessments, which supporters said can help reduce prison crowding and save billions of dollars because it is far less expensive for governments to supervise convicts on parole than keep them behind bars.

Authorities found a revolver and nearly 150 grams of marijuana in his hotel room. Durst’s attorney says the murder charge was based on a television show and not on actual fact.

The piles of ice bulldozed park benches and signs and forced the evacuation of about 20 horses from a stable along the Maumee River near Toledo. Higher temperatures created ice jams over the weekend that pushed ice boulders, some the size of small cars, over the river banks. Some parts of Riverside Cemetery were covered with pieces of ice stacked at least 4 feet high. About 90 percent of the headstones, some dating to the mid-1800s, were knocked over, said Joe Camp, the city of Maumee’s public service director.Debris washing up 4 years after Japan tsunamiPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Four years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, debris is still washing ashore in Oregon and southwest Washington. Scientists predict it will continue to arrive for at least the next three years. An estimated 1 million tons of tsunami debris is still oating in the Pacic Ocean. KGW-TV of Portland, Oregon, reports beach cleanup volunteers found baskets and lots of kitchen items this past year. They’ve hauled away truckloads of trash and artifacts. The rst pieces of debris to oat across the Pacic Ocean included light items like chunks of foam that could easily be carried by the wind. Heavier items sitting lower in the water, like wood and tires, soon followed. HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Penn State University fraternity was suspended for a year Tuesday after police began investigating allegations that members used a private, invitationonly Facebook page to post photos of nude and partly nude women, some apparently asleep or passed out. A former member of Kappa Delta Rho at the university’s agship campus in State College tipped police off to the page, telling them in January that it had been used by members to share photos of “unsuspecting victims, drug sales and hazing,†according to a copy of a police warrant obtained by The Associated Press. The ex-member also provided authorities with printouts from the page. The fraternity’s national executive director, Joe Rosenberg, told the Penn State chapter in a letter that it would be banned from most activities for the near future and must reorganize. He said the suspension was “for the most serious misconduct, most serious disregard of fraternity rules.†Chapter ofcials, who can appeal the decision, did not respond to messages seeking comment. A young man who answered the door Tuesday after noon declined to identify himself and said the fraternity had no comment. A Penn State administrator called the allegations a violation of the standards and values required for recognized student organizations. “The evidence offered by the Facebook postings is appalling, offensive and inconsistent†with the university’s expectations, Damon Sims, Penn State’s vice president for student affairs, said in a news release. Sims said the school would nd those responsible and hold them accountable. Police said anyone who posted the photos could face misdemeanor charges of harassment or invasion of privacy, with a ne being the most likely penalty. State College police said they rst elded the complaint on Jan. 18 and reported the matter to university administrators on March 3. The informant’s computer “yielded infor mation on two victims whose images would rise to the level of criminal action,†State College police Lt. Keith Robb said Tuesday. Facebook was contacted to disable the site and to obtain more information for the investigation, Robb said. Some of the postings involved nude women in “sexual or embarrassing positions,†the warrant reads. “It appears from the photos provided that the individuals in the photos are not aware that the photos had been taken.†Penn State’s Interfraternity Council planned a full review of Kappa Delta Rho’s conduct. According to the ex-fraternity member who went to police, a second page dubbed .0†was started in about April 2014 after a woman depicted on the rst Facebook page, called “Covert Business Transactions,†complained. The informant said the woman was visiting the fraternity when a member accidentally left his Facebook page logged in, and she noticed a topless photograph of her had been posted to the group. Robb told the AP she wanted the photo removed but did not wish to press charges. “A lot of that is probably what we’re going to end up with, people who don’t want anything done, just these photos removed,†Robb said. “That’s already done.†The investigation was rst reported by WJAC-TV in Johnstown. According to the war rant, the fraternity’s page had 144 active members that included both students and alumni.Penn State frat suspended for year over nude Facebook photos AP PHOTOThis is the Penn State University Kappa Delta Rho fraternity house in State College, Pa., on Tuesday. adno=50481795 We ri n LoH,P,,, got pqy oaftj C5.qCOU5 PrIC f0ttop Lfihc lifte heariftq4i4f5PREMIUM DIGITAL AID PROGRAMMABLE TOANY HEARING LOSS in ANY SIZE/STYLEHear better than ever before and with power to spare; it worksFor An y Hearing Loss.

Page 4 WIRE www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 STATE NEWS (Washington Post) — Chubby Florida manatees are adorable. Lumbering in the cozy waters of their habitat, they look like big soft squishy grey pillows. Anyone who wants to jump in and give them a big squeeze is in luck at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge on the central gulf coast of Florida. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ofcials who manage the refuge say go ahead, they don’t bite. But whether that’s good for the beloved “sea cow†is a question that could one day be resolved by a threatened lawsuit. A group called Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility is deeply upset that the refuge allows swimming with an endangered marine mammal in the warm springs that serve as their winter sanctuary. People are loving the manatees to death, the group says, and Fish and Wildlife has let the smothering affection develop into a lucrative tourism industry at Three Sisters Springs in Citrus County. PEER led a notice of intent to sue Fish and Wildlife if they don’t tell tourists to back off. Fish and Wildlife has until May to respond. “Swim with programs signicantly impair these endangered animals’ essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding and sheltering,†said the group’s counsel, Laura Dumais. “Some people have a hard time understanding this connection, because they don’t see manatees keeling over before their eyes; they might think that the manatees don’t seem to mind.†The manatees certainly don’t seem to mind, the refuge’s manager said. Florida’s manatee population topped a record 6,000 this week in the state’s latest survey, nearly 1,000 more than the previous high. The numbers are so high that some are calling on the service to remove the manatee’s protection under the Endangered Species Act, where they’ve been listed since it began in 1973. A review that might downgrade them from endangered to threatened is in the draft stage. “The manatee is actually a success story. Their numbers are going up, the population is going up,†said Andrew Gude, manager of the refuge. “Tourism has also gone through the roof. You can rent a car and for $40 you can swim with a mammal that will never rip you apart. The reason the service has been so supportive is that when people see the manatees and get in the water with them, in a lot of ways it changes their lives and they’re a lot more conservation-minded.†With 327,000 visitors last year, the Crystal River refuge was the fth most visited in the nation, with sweet, lovable manatees as the main attraction. As hundreds of thousands of humans thrash in the water for a moment of intimacy and, of course, a photo op, the narrow swimming channels the manatees use to come and go are blocked, and studies show that some stay away, not wanting to be bothered by the commotion, PEER said. A concern is that manatees will risk deadly cold Gulf waters. “It is the behavior that doesn’t happen that’s problematic — the manatees that see swimmers crowding the run and don’t enter the spring,†Dumais said. Manatee numbers are rebounding now, she said, but history shows that the population of this sensitive creature could take another dive at any time. Nearly 800 were killed in 2010, and an extended cold snap was blamed for 300 of those deaths. Three years later, there were a record 800 deaths. Fish and Wildlife estimates that 99 manatee deaths per year are related to humans. The population’s low in Florida was about 1,400. Manatees have been in the state for 45 million years, according to fossil records. They are an offshoot of the West Indian manatee that roams the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to north Brazil, and the Gulf of Mexico from southern Mexico to Colombia. In those areas, they are scattered in much smaller numbers. They are totally chill. Not known to harm anything, they spend their days diving to dine on sea grasses and fresh water vegetation. But humans harm them with watercraft collisions and boat propellers that slice their skin. Mortality is so common that the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has a phone line to report dead manatees.Look but don’t touch? Tourists rub Florida manatees | HEADLINE NEWS FROM AROUND THE STATEFlorida’s gas, cellphone taxes among highest in nation(Sun Sentinel) — Florida has some of the highest gasoline and cellphone taxes in the nation, according to a new analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. Only Washington, Nebraska and New York have a higher average state and local tax rate on cellphones than Florida’s 16.55 percent as of July 2014, the foundation found in its 2015 Facts & Figures tax survey. Florida also had the eighth-highest gas tax rates of the 50 states as of January, the report found. The state charges 36.42 cents in taxes per gallon of gas. Overall, however, Florida imposes a relatively low tax burden on residents, because it has no state income tax, the study said. Only six states have lower state and local tax collections per capita than Florida, the foundation found. Florida’s state and local taxes were $3,365 per person compared with the national average of $4,439, the foundation found after looking at scal 2012 data. Alabama had the lowest — $2,956 per capita, the report found.Punta Gorda ticket wins $43,947.02 in Fantasy 5TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Five “Fantasy 5†players have selected all five winning numbers to win a jackpot of $43,947.02 each. The Florida Lottery said Tuesday the winning tickets were purchased in Bonifay, Punta Gorda, Miami, Tamarac and Lantana. A total of 418 tickets matching four numbers won $84.50 each. Another 11,433 tickets matching three numbers won $8.50 each and 105,029 tickets won a Quick Pick ticket for picking two numbers. The numbers drawn Monday night were 07-10-13-16-27.Florida ranks No. 2 in nation for rate of uninsuredORLANDO (AP) — Florida ranks No. 2 in the nation in the rate of residents without health insurance, but that gure has declined since 2010. Figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday show that Florida had an uninsured rate of 24.3 percent in 2013. Only Texas had a higher rate at 24.8 percent. The lowest rate was 4.3 percent in Massachusetts. Despite the high ranking, Florida’s uninsured rate has declined since 2010 when it was 25.3 percent.Judges dismiss 24,000 red-light camera casesFORT LAUDERDALE (AP) — Two Broward County trafc court judges dismissed some 24,000 pending red-light camera ticket cases totaling more than $6.3 million. The judges ruled Monday that the program violates Florida law. Attorney Ted Hollander of Ticket Clinic told the South Florida Sun Sentinel his ofce argued for more than four years that the program was an improper delegation of police power. He says videos were sent to American Trafc Solutions in Arizona where employees did the screening.Publix on shopping spree to add propertySARASOTA (AP) — Publix supermarkets are going on a shopping spree, buying up property across Florida. The Herald-Tribune of Sarasota reports the Lakeland-based grocery chain spent $86 million for six shopping centers in southwest Florida over the past year. Publix also has earmarked $1.3 billion to buy more property, build new stores and renovate others.500 illegal gambling machines seized BRADENTON (AP) — Manatee County Sheriff’s deputies say more than $117,000 and more than 500 illegal gambling devices were seized recently at multiple locations. The Bradenton Herald reports that since January, the sheriff’s ofce has been investigating illegal gambling operations throughout the county in conjunction with the State Attorney’s Ofce and the Florida Illegal Gaming Task Force.

(AP) — A restroom at a Walmart in eastern Indiana has been closed indefinitely after an employee discovered a working meth lab inside. State police say a Walmart employee alerted police after seeing a man he described as suspicious enter the restroom about 11:30 p.m. Thursday with a backpack and leave without it. The Star Press reports that members of a state police meth suppression team removed the dangerous chemicals. Delaware County Health Department inspectors closed the restroom and a nearby women’s restroom until they could be “decontaminated†by a professional cleaning company. State police say people who make methamphetamine are leaving “the deadly explosive chemicals in public places to return later to get the finished product,†rather than risk explosions and contamination at their own homes.ODD NEWS Meth lab found in Walmart restroom Tissue is withdrawn through a needle or from a surgically removed growth and examined under a microscope. Previous research has shown that interpreting mammograms can also be tricky and lead to underor over-treatment. Among the new study’s ndings: Pathologists correctly diagnosed abnormal, precancerous cells about half the time, no better than a coin toss, said lead author Dr. Joann Elmore, a University of Washington researcher. Treatment for this condition typically includes frequent monitoring and sometimes medication. About a third of these cases were misdiagnosed as not worrisome or normal, while 17 percent were deemed more suspicious or cancer. Since as many as 160,000 U.S. women each year are diagnosed with this condition, the results suggest many may be getting inappropriate treatment, Elmore said. Pathologists mistakenly found something suspicious in 13 percent of normal tissue. They had similar trouble with a condition called DCIS — 13 percent of these cases were misdiagnosed as less serious, while 3 percent were mistaken for invasive cancer. DCIS involves abnormal cells conned to a milk duct and is diagnosed in about 60,000 U.S. women each year. Cases have increased because of rising mammogram use, and it can sometimes spread so usual treatment is surgery and radiation. “As a woman, I would probably want to get a second opinion†with a diagnosis of abnormal pre-cancer or DCIS, Elmore said. A JAMA editorial notes that the study lacks information on patient outcomes, so there’s no proof that the experts made the correct diagnosis. Also, pathologists weren’t allowed to consult with colleagues when they were uncertain about findings — while in the real world those consultations happen frequently, said editorial co-author Dr. David Rimm, a Yale University pathology professor who also interprets biopsies. Still, he said the results are troubling and highlight that pathology is an imperfect science. Rimm said he has been asked to offer a second opinion, and that patients make those requests through their primary care physicians. The editorial says the results “should be a call to action for pathologists and breast cancer scientists†to improve and rene denitions of breast tissue abnormalities.BIOPSYFROM PAGE 1 from a few months to a year has been a top foreign policy objective of the Obama administration. Even a deal by deadline will not end the Iran nuclear controversy, however. Congressional Republicans have threatened to upend it, claiming it is ineffective, and it is expected to further cloud relations between the United States and Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forms the next government, either through elections on Tuesday or as the head of a new ruling coalition. Ofcials for both sides have said that the talks are making headway on limiting Iranian nuclear activities that could be retooled to make weapons. In exchange, the West would progressively lift economic and political sanctions. Still, the comments by Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akhbar Salehi were among the most promising to date. Only one “nal item†remained contentious, he told reporters in the garden of the luxury hotel in Lausanne where the talks are being held. He didn’t specify the “nal item.†If that is resolved, “we can say that on technical issues, things are clear on both sides,†he told reporters adding: “As a whole, I am optimistic.†U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif have taken the lead in what formally remain talks between Iran on one side and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany on the other. Most of the disputes focus on technical issues like the numbers of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to operate as part of an agreement. The machines can enrich uranium up to levels used for the ssile core of nuclear arms, but Iran says it only has energy, medical and scientic aims. Salehi and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz joined the talks last month to try and iron out the technical differences. But even if the nalstretch talks turn into a deal, outside interference could hurt chances of its implementation. A letter last week by Republican senators to the Iranian leadership warning that Congress could upend any deal continues to cast a shadow over the negotiating table. Another senior American ofcial said the issue came up at Monday’s Kerry-Zarif meeting as well as a Sunday gathering among senior U.S. and Iranian negotiators.NUCLEARFROM PAGE 1 around 10:10 p.m. EDT and was scheduled to arrive in Denver at 9:20 MDT. About 15 minutes into the flight, the incident began. According to several cable TV networks, an unnamed government official said the man shouted “jihad†as he rushed forward. In a video shot by a passenger and widely distributed on social media and mainline reports, passengers are seen subduing the man. The cellphone video shows the man, bruised on his face, being held down by other passengers. At one point, he pleads, “Please stop, please stop, they said call it off.†At another point, the man seems to cry as he says, “I’m so sorry.†“Don’t move,†one passenger said, appar ently trying to calm the man. “You’re OK. We’re going to get you off this plane, buddy.†The passenger attempted to rush the cockpit, according to a recording of the pilot talking to the control tower at Dulles. The conversation was captured by the website, LiveATC.net. “There’s a passenger in the back, he ran forward towards the cockpit and now he is being restrained by other passengers,†the pilot told air traffic control. “We had a passenger becoming violent. No weapons involved. He’s restrained by other passengers now, though,†the pilot says. “We don’t know his mental health condition. Sounds like he’s restrained for now. We just need to get on the ground.†Dulles officials said the incident didn’t affect airport operations. The plane landed at Dulles around 10:40 p.m. EDT, said spokeswoman Gibbs. The plane, with no passengers, arrived in Denver about 2:30 a.m. MDT Tuesday. “We are accommodating the remaining customers to Denver this morning,†United said Tuesday.JIHADFROM PAGE 1 drawing 27 or 28 seats in the next parliament, against the 27 forecast for the center-left Zionist Union alliance of Herzog and his running mate, former peace negotiator Tzipi Livni. A coalition of Israeli Arab parties, called the Joint List, emerged in third place, according to the exit polls. A nal vote count may not be completed until Thursday, but exit polls in Israel are viewed as good predictors of eventual results. If the returns track the exit polling, either Netanyahu or Herzog may be called upon to form the next government — although it appeared that Netanyahu might have an edge in building a coalition from the top 11 parties that drew enough votes to seat their candidates in parliament. The election was being closely watched in Washington, where Netanyahu gave a speech to Congress two weeks ago opposing the Obama administration’s attempts to reach a deal with Iran to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program, angering the White House. Some analysts predicted tensions would deepen after the Israeli leader’s pronouncement Monday that he would not support the creation of a Palestinian state, a reversal of his earlier stance. White House press Secretary Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama “remains committed to working very closely†with whoever wins the Israeli premiership. Voter turnout was high, with almost 72 percent of eligible voters going to the polls. Leaders of the Arab parties suggested that Arab Israeli turnout reached 65 percent, far higher than in the country’s last national elections, in 2013. Netanyahu and Likud appeared to come up from behind. The last round of pre-election opinion surveys on Friday showed Likud trailing Herzog’s alliance by three or four seats. Pundits were beginning to write the rst drafts of Netanyahu’s political obituary. Reporters asked him in interviews what he planned do in retirement. But in the past ve days, Netanyahu took to the airwaves, warning repeatedly that Herzog and the left were going to turn over land to the Palestinians and divide Jerusalem in half. The virtual tie, according to exit polls, surprised many ordinary Israelis. The electorate here has been trending rightward for years. “Israelis said very clearly yes today to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Likud to continue to lead the country,†said Likud party leader Silvan Shalom, who said he was condent that Netanyahu would succeed in forming the next government. “It’s a big victory for the Likud,†said Likud member Danny Danon, a former deputy defense minister. “This is a win for the right, and all my friends on the left need to acknowledge this win.†Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will now ask party leaders to come to his residence and signal to him whom they want to lead the next coalition government. He suggested Tuesday night that he would press for a government of national unity combining Labor and Likud.LEADFROM PAGE 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Global celebrations of the Emerald Isle’s patron saint culminated in parades and celebrations in Dublin, New York and scores of other cities Tuesday. Here are St. Patrick’s Day events happening worldwide:New YorkNew York’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade included the rst-ever gay contingent marching under its own banner — a group representing gay employees of the broadcaster NBC, a major parade sponsor — but gay activists called the group’s participation an empty gesture. “We are in the middle of a cultural shift, so we hoped this would be the breakthrough year and we’d be marching up the avenue,†said Brendan Fay, who has been pushing for gay inclusion in the parade since the early 1990s. Fay said his Lavender & Green group applied for a permit. “We didn’t even get a response.†Mayor Bill de Blasio stayed away from the parade in protest of organizers’ policy on gays, which allows them to march as individuals but not to march ofcially as a group under a banner. The parade up Fifth Avenue stepped off with a jovial Cardinal Timothy Dolan as grand marshal. “I’m as radiant as the sun, so thanks be to God for the honor and the joy,†said the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.Washington, D.C.Donning green in the Oval Ofce, President Barack Obama promoted U.S-Irish ties as proof of America’s immigrantfriendly tradition. Obama hosted Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, known in Ireland as the Taoiseach, for their yearly St. Patrick’s Day meeting, then accompanied him to the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon at the Capitol. Obama defended the executive steps he’s taken to shield millions in the U.S. from deportation, while acknowledging that due to a Republican lawsuit, those actions are “currently tied up in the courts.†“We share the view that one of the great strengths of the U.S. has always been its willingness to welcome new immigrants to our shores,†Obama said. “That’s what’s made us unique and special.â€BostonTravelers at Boston’s Logan International Airport got an early taste of St. Patrick’s Day on Monday when the Dropkick Murphys staged an impromptu performance. The band, en route to Ireland for a tour, set up in international Terminal E and let it rip. The band played a rousing rendition of its hit, “I’m Shipping up to Boston,†altering the lyrics slightly to “I’m Shipping up to Dublin.â€IrelandPresident Michael Higgins attended Mass at St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Dublin, where Catholic Archbishop Diarmuid Martin blessed sprigs of shamrock in the traditional start to Ireland’s national holiday. Hundreds of thousands of Dubliners and tourists lined the nearby route of the Dublin parade, the culmination of a four-day festival featuring music and dance performances, pub crawls, cultural tours and street arcades. Face-painted dancers, eccentrically themed oats and U.S. marching bands snaked their way down O’Connell Street across the River Liffey to St. Patrick’s Cathedral a mile away. A man dressed as St. Patrick — but donning sunglasses and dispensing smart-aleck comments to the crowd, along with playful thumps from his club-like crozier — led the way. Later Tuesday, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny was guest of honor at the White House following weekend visits to Georgia and Texas. Almost his entire Cabinet has spent the past week traveling worldwide promoting Ireland’s tourism, culture and strong rebound from a crippling 2008 banking crisis.BritainAt a barracks in Aldershot, England, Prince William and his pregnant wife, Kate, presented shamrocks to soldiers from the Irish Guards, one of the two Irish-recruited regiments in the British Army. Kate, 33, handed out baskets of shamrocks and pinned a sprig on the collar of the regiment’s mascot, an Irish wolfhound called Domhnall.

The decision, to take effect on May 15, does not affect tour groups, which can still purchase visas at ports of entry such as Cairo’s international airport. Previously, tourists from many countries including Europe and the United States could purchase visas upon entry to Egypt. Tourism took a dive after a 2011 uprising toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak and unleashed years of turmoil, but the government is eager to revitalize the crucial sector.Study: Euthanasia cases more than double in N. BelgiumBRUSSELS (AP) — Almost one in 20 people in northern Belgium died using euthanasia in 2013, more than doubling the numbers in six years, a study released Tuesday showed. The universities of Ghent and Brussels found that since euthanasia was legalized in 2002, the acceptance of ending a life at the patient’s request has greatly increased. While a 2007 survey showed only 1.9 percent of deaths from euthanasia in the region, the gure was 4.6 percent in 2013.Russia: Kim Jong Un to visit Moscow for Victory DayMOSCOW (AP) — The leader of North Korea is among 26 world leaders who have accepted invitations to Moscow to take part in celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday. North Korea hasn’t ofcially commented. It would be Kim Jong Un’s rst foreign trip since taking power three years ago. The highlight of the May 9 celebrations will be a military parade on the Red Square overseen by President Vladimir Putin, an annual event that will be expanded this year to include 15,000 troops, cadets and Cossacks, according to Russia’s defense minister.Islamic State group reports leader killedCAIRO (AP) — The Islamic State group is reporting the death of one of its prominent eld commanders during ghting in Libya. In a eulogy statement posted late Monday on a militant website, the extremist Islamic group said Ahmed al-Ruwaysi, also known as Abu Zakariya al-Tunisi, was killed in recent days amid clashes in the Libyan city of Sirte. The 166th Battalion, a militia loyal to the un-elected and self-proclaimed Libyan government in Tripoli, is ghting to seize control of Sirte from the IS group’s Libyan afliate. Libya’s elected and internationally recognized parliament has been forced from the capital and meets in the eastern city of Tobruk.Myanmar court jails man for insulting BuddhaYANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A Myanmar court on Tuesday sentenced a New Zealand bar manager and his business associates to 2 years in prison for insulting Buddhism in an online advertisement that showed a psychedelic depiction of Buddha wearing headphones. Philip Blackwood, 32, Tun Thurein and Htut Ko Ko Lwin were given two years of hard labor for insulting religion and six months for disobeying an order from a public servant.

Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin, who is Australia’s Defense Force Chief, said that Captain Harry Wales, as he is known in the British Army, will be embedded with a number of Australian army units and regiments in the cities of Sydney, Darwin and Perth.Pakistan executes 12 in single dayISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani ofcials on Tuesday executed 12 people in the country’s single-largest day of executions since a moratorium on the death penalty was lifted in December, ofcials said. The executions are sure to raise concerns over due process and proper oversight of the country’s troubled criminal justice system, which rights groups say often does little to protect defendants. Authorities at different jails in the country’s largest province of Punjab hanged 10 people Tuesday who had been sentenced to death in murder cases, said the provincial Home Minister Shuja Khanzada. He said authorities planned to execute more convicted criminals in the coming weeks. “We have started a process, and it will continue,†he told The Associated Press. BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian activists and the Westernbacked opposition accused the government Tuesday of carrying out a chlorine gas attack against a rebel-held town that killed at least six people and left dozens, including children, choking and gasping for breath. The purported use of poison gas on the town of Sarmin in northwestern Idlib province is the rst alleged chemical attack since the U.N. Security Council approved a U.S.drafted resolution this month that condemns the use of toxic chemicals such as chlorine in Syria. That measure also threatens militarily action in case of further violations. But any action would require the consent of the Security Council, which remains deeply divided over Syria’s civil war. The U.S. and its allies support the opposition, while Russia backs Syrian President Bashar Assad — and Moscow has used its veto on several occasions to shield its ally. The attack on Sarmin, located some eight kilometers (ve miles) east of Idlib city, took place late Monday, according to the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees activist collective. The two activist groups said that six people were killed and dozens more suffered from severe breathing difculties. A Syrian military official in Damascus denied any government role in the attack and blamed it on anti-Assad rebels. “The army did not and will never use any internationally prohibited weapon,†the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. The main Westernbacked opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said government helicopters dropped four “barrel bombs,†two of which contained chlorine gas. It said about 70 people suffered breathing problems. “Unless the U.N. Security Council takes enforceable measures to ensure accountability, we would be fooling ourselves to believe that Assad will stop gassing innocent people in Syria,†Coalition spokesman Salem al-Meslet said in a statement. An opposition medical official in the area of Sarmin said there were two attacks, the first targeting rebels that injured 20 people, mostly men, while the second hit a residential area. He said the six dead were all from one family, including three young children. Amateur videos posted online purported to show the aftermath of the attack. In one video, three children stripped of their clothes can be seen lying on hospital beds as medics try to resuscitate them. One dazed child slowly lolls his head to the side. A woman wrapped in blankets and showing no sign of life lies on another gurney. Another video shows several bearded men inside what appears to be a hospital room as paramedics put oxygen masks on their faces. The videos, which could not be independently verified, appeared genuine and corresponded to other Associated Press reporting of the events. Asad Kanjo, an activist who is based in the nearby town of Saraqeb, said that after the first bomb was dropped, warnings broadcast over local mosque loudspeakers urged Sarmin residents to head for their roofs in order to avoid inhaling the gas, which settles in lower-lying areas. “There was some kind of chaos,†Kanjo said via Skype. He added that residents usually avoid going up to the roofs for fear of being targeted by government aircraft. Pro-opposition media said some residents of Sarmin fled to nearby fields. Monday’s purported attack with chlorine would be one of the most serious uses of poison gas in Syria since a deadly chemical attack outside Damascus in August 2013. The U.S. and Western allies blamed Assad’s forces for that attack, while the Syrian government accused opposition fighters of staging it to frame the military.Activists accuse Syrian military of deadly poison gas attack LONDON (AP) — A toxic mix of misuse of power and ofcial silence has become Britain’s shame as the country faces up to a growing web of evidence that the abuse of vulnerable children by powerful men was covered up for decades. Several lawmakers said Tuesday that former detectives and intelligence ofcers should be guar anteed protection from prosecution if they speak out about child abuse by senior police, politicians or other prominent people. “I would just very much hope the police now can investigate this very thoroughly without fear or favor, get to the bottom of the truth,†Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said after the BBC aired new claims of a cover-up of pedophile behavior three decades ago. “I would urge anyone who has any information that can cast any light on what happened way back then to come forward and cooperate with the police.†Many Britons have felt a creeping horror over the last few years as allegations of child abuse have piled up. There was the revelation that the late children’s entertainer Jimmy Savile had abused children in hospitals, children’s homes and TV studios for decades. Separately, police announced they were investigating claims of a pedophile ring involving powerful politicians. And gangs of men in several regional towns were convicted of sexually exploiting teenage girls. The latest allegations came Monday, when the BBC’s “Newsnight†program reported that an ex-detective had told it that a lawmaker, Cyril Smith, was arrested in the early 1980s as part of an investigation into child-sex parties, but was released hours later. He said ofcers were ordered to hand over notebooks and video footage from their undercover operation, and were told they would be violating the Ofcial Secrets Act if they revealed what had happened.Evidence mounts of child-abuse cover-up SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (AP) — Want to make a big impact on the health of our oceans? Think small, top chefs say. As in anchovies and sardines. That’s the message from 20 of the world’s leading chefs, who gathered in northeastern Spain on Tuesday to draw attention to what they hope is a simple solution to the threat facing many of the larger sh species that overshing has pushed to near collapse. Their take: If more people ate more little sh — anchovies, sardines, herring and mackerel, for example — both human diets and seafood populations would improve. Ferran Adria, of Spain’s now closed elBulli restaurant, joined with Grant Achatz of Chicago’s Alinea, Massimo Bottura of Italy’s Osteria Francescana and more than a dozen other chefs for a summit with the U.S.-based ocean conser vation group Oceana to discuss leveraging their star power to get these sh not just onto their own menus — which only a lucky few will ever eat from — but into restaurants and homes worldwide. “It’s the right moment and the right ingredient,†said Gaston Acurio, the co-owner and chef of Peru’s famed Astrid y Gaston restaurant, during an exclusive roundtable discussion with The Associated Press. “One of the best markets in the world is health and wellness, and anchovies and small sh are health and this is wellness that is good for society.†Driving the chefs’ involvement is the campaign by Oceana aimed at convincing consumers to embrace eating more small oily sh. Known as “forage sh,†they’re part of the food chain that feeds larger sh, such as tuna or swordsh, both of which are threatened. The smaller sh are abundant enough to feed both the larger predators as well as plenty of people, says Oceana chief scientist Michael Hirsheld. But though anchovies, sardines and similar small sh are treated as delicacies in much of the Mediterranean, in the rest of the world they often end up as feed for farmed salmon, chicken and pigs. “They feed 3 pounds of sh to make 1 pound of salmon. That’s not a great way to feed a planet,†said Andy Sharpless, Oceana’s CEO and author of “The Perfect Protein.†“We can feed tens of millions more people if we simply eat anchovies and other forage sh directly rather than in form of a farmed salmon or other animals raised on sh meal and sh oil.†Their point isn’t to criticize the farmed seafood industry, the chefs said. Rather, they want to lead by example. They agreed to serve small oily sh at their restaurants as much as they can, to train younger chefs that the sh are as good for the planet as for the plate, and to develop recipes that make it easy for the average con sumer to prepare them at home.World’s top chefs: Eat small fish adno=50471075 kaY RGG= cvY YM,..r hVC-hi'fpv.vf l\; yJYY/Sri; suN' Charlotte SunHerala"i'WON"EmiDon't forget to take us with you!

The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net WIRE Page 7 NATIONAL NEWS NEW YORK (AP) — Interest rates could soon rise in the U.S. for the rst time in almost a decade, and that’s shaking up nancial markets. If you own stocks of Coca-Cola or Procter & Gamble, you may already see the impact in your 401(k). And if you’re making plans to visit Europe, you’ve probably noticed the dollar has surged against the euro. These shifts can all be traced back to the Federal Reserve and what it decides to do with rates. Since December 2008, the central bank has held its benchmark rate close to zero to support the economy by encouraging borrowing and spending. It’s been even longer since the Fed actually raised the cost of borrowing. That was back in June 2006. The Fed wraps up a policy meeting today and investors will be watching closely for any hints about whether the central bank is weighing a rate hike. Areas of the economy appear to be stuttering, but the jobs market has strengthened, and some analysts think the Fed could lift rates as soon as June. Higher rates are meant to combat ination, which is a risk if wages and prices start to edge higher along with the jobs market. But investors aren’t waiting for the Fed to move. They’re already favoring stocks they think will do well under an improving economy — and the higher rates that come with it. They’re also steering away from investments they think will suffer. Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at Blackrock, the money manager, says investors should expect “bigger drops and bigger swings†in the market as people scramble to adjust their portfolios after six years of near-zero rates. “This is going to be a change in the environment.†Here’s how the prospect of higher rates is shaping stocks, bonds, borrowing and saving:Stocks: LOSERS People holding utility stocks have suffered losses this year. Utilities as a group have slumped 7.1 percent in 2015, the biggest loss among the 10 industry sectors that make up the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. These stocks typically pay dividends that are high relative to their companies’ share prices. They were in demand last year, when government bond yields fell, and investors wanted them for the level of income they were no longer able to get from bonds. Now, as yields on those ultra-safe bonds have edged higher, these stocks are less attractive. Other stocks that traditionally pay big dividends to investors, such as telecommunications companies, have also started to struggle. Telecoms have fallen 3 percent this month. Possibly the biggest impact on stocks has been from the currency market, where the dollar has surged. The dollar index, which measures the strength of the U.S. currency against a basket of others, is up 10 percent this year. As the U.S. currency climbs, companies that rely on overseas sales for a large portion of their revenues have seen their stocks slide. Investors who own Coca-Cola, which derives more than a third of its sales from outside the U.S., have seen the stock slump 4.2 percent this year. Procter & Gamble, owner of the Gillette and Crest brands, is down 9 percent. The S&P 500 index is at over the same period. WINNERS Stores, restaurants and media companies should be among the better performers this year as the U.S. economy continues to strengthen and hiring picks up. Low gasoline prices will put more money in people’s pockets, also helping consumer-focused stocks. Consumer discretionary stocks are the second-best performers of the sectors that make up the S&P 500. The industry group is up 4.5 percent since the start of 2015.Bonds LOSERS The biggest threat to investors from rising rates could come from the investment considered the safest, namely U.S. Treasurys, says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist & economist at Wells Capital Management. Prices for Treasury notes have rallied since the start of 2014, sending their yields lower. The trend surprised many analysts who expected bond prices to fall as the Fed wound down a massive bond-buying program that was part of its effort to boost the U.S. economy. But as economies in other parts of the world struggled or slowed, investors bought more ultra-safe Treasurys, and drove prices higher. Treasury prices are “very, very much out of line,†given the relative strength of the economy, says Paulsen. The unemployment rate has fallen to a seven-year low of 5.5 percent, and most economists expect the economy to grow around 3 percent this year. At 2.06 percent, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note is lower than 3 percent level from six years ago, during the recession. “The message from the bond market, supposedly, is that the world today is worse than it was at any point during the Great Recession, which is nonsense,†says Paulsen. His expectation is that Treasury prices will fall sharply, pushing the yield on the 10-year note as high as 3.25 percent by the end of this year. WINNERS Of course, not all bonds are the same. Junk bonds, riskier securities that pay higher yields than Treasurys, traditionally do well in a rising rate environment, says Rob Waldner, chief strategist at fund manager Invesco.Consumer Impact SAVERS If you’re relying on savings, you’ll probably welcome higher interest rates. The best rates on one-year certicates of deposit are about 1.2 percent, according to Bankrate.com. BORROWERS As rates rise, people with large credit card balances may face higher payments. So could those looking to buy a home. Mortgage rates, which are linked to Treasury yields, will climb should bond yields start to rise. The average 30-year mortgage rate is at about 3.7 percent, according to Freddie Mac.Who could win if Fed hikes rates | NATIONCops: Woman on meth kills husband she mistakes for intruderKNOX DALE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania woman high from smoking methamphetamine has fatally shot her husband after mistaking him for an intruder. Police say 31-year-old Trista Zickefoose shot her 40-year-old husband, Greg, on Sunday night at their duplex apartment in Knox Township, about 80 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Authorities say that the couple had argued after smoking the drug together and that Trista Zickefoose later heard a noise that she believed was from an intruder. Police say she grabbed a 9 mm pistol she kept under her pillow and red a warning shot. Police say her husband tried to take the gun away from her, but she shot him in the chest. She remains jailed Tuesday on a charge of criminal homicide.Premera Blue Cross says data breach could affect 11M peopleNEW YORK (AP) — Premera Blue Cross, a health insurer based in the Pacic Northwest, says it was the victim of a cyberattack that could affect 11 million people. The company says hackers gained access to its information technology systems. The breach could have exposed members’ information including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, mailing and email addresses, phone numbers, member ID numbers and bank account information.Veteran indicted for allegedly trying to join ISIS(LA Times) — An Air Force veteran and former mechanic for a major U.S. airline was indicted this week on charges that he traveled overseas and attempted to fight alongside Islamic State militants in the Middle East, federal investigators said Tuesday.

The other day, she told me she has $15,000 in credit card debt and has nanced an expensive car she’s upside down on. Her apartment in Omaha costs $600 a month, and she is asking for help to get out of the hole. How do you think I should handle this situation? — Cindy Dear Cindy: Here’s what I would tell her if she were my kid in that situation. First, I’m not paying for your problem to go away. I’d tell her to sell the car and get a cheap little beater. She’ll have to get a small loan to cover the difference, but it will rid her of a car payment. I know all this sounds harsh, but this girl had a good thing going, and she screwed it up by being impulsive and immature. Think about it; she’s making $50,000 a year, and only $7,200 of that was going toward rent. Her taxes aren’t that much, so where’s the rest of the money going? I’m guessing a big chunk is being wasted on restaurants, goong off and other stuff she doesn’t really need. Let her wallow in it and worry about things for a while rst, though. Then, if she’s willing to accept responsibility for her actions, and she starts working hard toward handling her money wisely, you might help her out once in a while. Every time she pays off $1,000, you could add $500 to the next payment. But I’d test her resolve rst to see if she wants it badly enough! — Dave The money’s ahead of youDear Dave: I’m 64, and I’ve been dating a 73-year-old man for four years. We’re talking about marriage, and we’ve been discussing nances. He’s retired, but I still work part time even though I’m in pretty good shape nancially. His plan, if we get married, is to give his house and his savings to his children, while we live in my home. We’d still have his small pension, what I bring home and my savings, but I think he should invest at least half of what he has in our marriage and relationship. What do you think? — Betty Dear Betty: So, his wealth goes to his kids and you get to feed and take care of him until he dies? In my mind, this is not a good plan. I think what you’re discovering here is that this guy just doesn’t want to be lonely. It sounds, too, like he’s dipping into your wealth while all his stuff goes to his kids. I’d be a little frustrated with this idea if I were you. And I think the two of you need some premarital and relationship counseling before you take another step forward. Right now, you’re in third place behind his kids and his belongings. — Dave Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey and on the web at daveramsey.com.Help? Not yetDave Ramsey NEW YORK (AP) — The guessing game over higher interest rates is making for a jerky stock market. A day after their biggest gain in six weeks, U.S. stock indexes mostly fell on Tuesday as oil continued to slide and investors fretted over when the Federal Reserve will raise a key borrowing rate. Low rates have helped stocks soar over the past six years. The Fed kicked off a two-day meeting on Tuesday to discuss rates, and will release a policy statement on Wednesday. Losses were small, but spread across industries. Nine of the 10 sectors of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped, led by a 1.2 percent fall in raw-material companies. Randall Warren, chief investment ofcer of Warren Financial Service, said he isn’t worried about higher rates, but is bracing for more price swings nonetheless. “The economy is stronger, and can handle it and people will realize that,†he said. “But now we’re in the fear phase.†The S&P 500 fell 6.99 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,074.20. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 128.34 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,849.08. The Dow jumped 228 the day before. The Nasdaq composite edged up 7.93 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,937.43. Energy stocks sank as the price of oil slid for the sixth straight day to another six-year low. U.S. benchmark crude fell 42 cents to close at $43.46 a barrel in New York. In its statement released Wednesday, the Fed is widely expected to drop the word “patient†in describing how long it will wait to raise rates. Many economists think that will signal that the Fed will make its rst move in June. Others aren’t so sure, with some predicting the central bank will wait until next year. Mixed signals on the economy have been adding to the uncertainty.US stocks mostly fall as Fed meetsThe seams on the old emailbag are groaning again. Let’s nd some general-interest questions and try to provide some answers. Gil writes, “I went from Windows 7 to 8.1. Windows 8.1 does not support DVD (playback). I am unable to play the DVDs. What can I do to correct this?†Microsoft did end support for DVD movie playback with the release of Windows 8/8.1. All other features of DVD operation, installing programs from the disk, viewing our pictures, etc, will function with Windows; however Microsoft chose to not pay the licensing fee for movie playback. Most computer manufacturers did include a DVD movie-playback software package with their products, so the function of watching a movie DVD didn’t disappear. Open the Charms bar, click “search,†and then type in “DVD playerâ€; we should nd the program provided by the PC maker. However if we changed hard drives or formatted the old one and installed a fresh copy of Windows 8.1, there will not be a DVD movie player available. Not to worry, there are many DVD movie players available for download; some of them are even free! My favorite today is VLC Media Player, which can be downloaded from www.videolan.org. When downloading any free software, be wary of other software that may be offered in conjunction with the desired product, such as toolbars or search engines. Watch for check boxes already lled in and uncheck them, unless we want the additional software. Mary writes, “I use Skype to talk to my daughter, and my wonder is, why (and how) do I get these strangers who want to connect with me?†Spammers have taken to Skype just as they have email, instant messaging, postcards and any other way they can get a phish on the hook. While we can’t stop crooks from being crooked, we can reduce these annoyances with a few simple chang es. Open Skype and click on “Tools,†then “Privacy.†Mark the sections labeled “Allow Calls From, Automatically Receive Video and Share Screens, and Allow IMs From†to “People in my Contact list only,†then click “Save†at the bottom. Now click on the section labeled “Calls,†then “Call Settings,†and select the button “Only allow people in my Contact list to call me.†Dale authors this question: “I understand that Norton Antivirus is included with my Comcast service, but I have to download and install it. How do I do that?†Surf over to http:// constantguard.comcast. net/norton-security-suite, and click on the “get it now†button. Follow the prompts and, in a short time, Norton will be installed. There may be a requirement that we log in with our Comcast email address and password to initiate the download. Finally Norman pens this query, “About hidden software in Lenovo computers and how to get rid of it.†It’s bad enough that scam artists trick us, but when a PC manufacturer loads junkware on a new computer it’s just wrong. Lenovo was caught shipping spyware called Supersh on its computers. The removal is complicated, but the instructions can be found at http:// support.lenovo.com/us/ en/product_security/ supersh_uninstall.

Page 10 WIRE www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Wednesday, March 18, 2015 NATIONAL NEWS WASHINGTON (AP) — Just as the Federal Reserve seems to be inching toward an interest rate hike because of the strengthening U.S. job market, its task is getting more complicated: Several key sectors of the economy are ashing some signs of weakness. Housing, manufacturing and consumer spending — the U.S. economy’s main driver — have been tepid of late. The pace of home building plunged in February. Factory output is slowing as a rising dollar makes U.S. goods costlier overseas and weakens exports. And retail sales remain sluggish, with Americans spending less at stores and restaurants last month. The main engine of strength has been the U.S. job market. Employers have added more than 200,000 jobs for 12 straight months, and unemployment has reached a seven-year low of 5.5 percent, a rate typical of a healthy job market. Yet annual wage growth remains stuck at 2 percent, a level that can’t support robust gains in consumer spending and home purchases. Recently announced pay increases by Walmart, the Gap and other retailers have been modest and have yet to circulate through the economy. It’s hardly surprising, then, that critical pieces of the economy remain troubled almost six years into the recovery from the worst nancial catastrophe since the Great Depression. “We’re not in an economy that is fully r ing on all cylinders,†said Gregory Daco, an analyst at Oxford Economics. “Wage growth is still hesitant, and that has been the key element holding back the recovery.†Many economists blame, in part, snowstorms and freezing temperatures for the economy’s lackluster winter. Their theory will be tested as spring arrives. If the economy fails to pick up, it may lack the vigor that Fed ofcials want to see before raising their key short-term rate from a record low near zero, where it’s remained since 2008. On Wednesday, after the Fed ends a policy meeting, it’s expected to drop the word “patient†from a statement describing its outlook for a rate increase. That would signal its intent to link an eventual rate increase solely to the most recent economic data and not to a preset timetable. Many investors expect a rate hike as early as June. But an increase that soon might require the economy to accelerate in the next few months — and possibly for unusually low ination to rise closer to the Fed’s 2 percent target rate. “The picture is a little muddied right now,†said Daniel Silver, an economist at JPMorgan Chase. “The more data we get, the more we will know.†Recent economic reports have led some analysts to downgrade their outlook for growth in the rst three months of 2015. The forecasting rm Macroeconomic Advisers projects growth at an annualized rate of just 1.6 percent in the rst quarter, down sharply from 2.2 percent in the nal three months of 2014 and from a galloping 4.8 percent rate over the spring and summer. Weather has previously derailed the economy. In January 2014, the “polar vortex†was enough to cause the economy to shrink during that year’s first quarter. This time, winter storms struck mainly in February, blanketing much of the Atlantic seaboard in snow drifts and ice. “We’ve had snowfalls that have exceeded seasonable norms in many parts of the country,†said Anika Khan, a senior economist at Wells Fargo. “We should see some rebound in the coming months.†On Tuesday, the government said the pace of housing starts plummeted 17 percent in February from January’s rate. Home construction slid 56.5 percent in the Northeast and 37 percent in the Midwest, the two regions that endured the brunt of the winter storms.As Fed weighs a rate hike, US economy is looking a bit paler AP PHOTOIn this Feb. 18 photo, carpenter Ted Jae cuts a piece of baseboard at a new construction home in Pepper Pike, Ohio. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that U.S. home construc tion plummeted in February. | NATIONMilitary officials say US readiness affected by cuts in budget WASHINGTON (AP) — Top military ofcials say the readiness of the armed services is being threatened by acrossthe-board spending cuts — and they warned of signicant reductions if there is no relief. Gen. Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that America is mortgaging the future to barely meet today’s needs. As he and other military ofcials testied, House Republicans unveiled a budget plan for next year that would increase the Pentagon and State Department budget by padding an account not subject to the automatic cuts known as sequestration. The military chiefs say that while they want more funding, there is not enough exibility in the Overseas Contingency Operations account to spend the money in ways to offset recent downsizing in the armed services.Police: Man stabbed to death over spilled coffeeSTAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — A 15-year-old Connecticut boy is among two people charged in the fatal stabbing of a man after a fight that began over spilled coffee. Police tell the Stamford Advocate that 52-year-old Antonio Muralles was leaving a Stamford restaurant with a cup of coffee March 11 when he bumped into the boy, spilling coffee on him. James McLamb, of New Haven, and the boy have been charged with murder. A third suspect is being sought. McLamb had been arrested on an unrelated weapons charge Saturday and was arraigned Monday. He’s held in lieu of $2 million bond. McLamb didn’t enter a plea. His public defender says he hasn’t yet read McLamb’s arrest warrant. The boy’s arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday. Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock resignsWASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois, dogged by irregularities in his campaign nance and congressional spending accounts, suddenly announced on Tuesday that he would resign his House seat at the end of the month. “I do this with a heavy heart,†Schock said in a statement.3 swastikas found at Jewish fraternity houseNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vanderbilt University officials have launched a hate crime investigation after three swastikas were found spray-painted inside a Jewish fraternity house. The Tennessean cited a statement that Provost Susan R. Wente sent to students Monday reporting that the graffiti was found Saturday after a party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house. Wente condemned use of the symbol, which she said is “associated with hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death, and murder.†adno=491685 Spring Into Luxury2015 LINCOLN MKZ299#3LFR62533636 MO.

Viewing sexual stimuli online will never make society’s list of highly effective habits, but new research suggests that porn may be getting a (slightly) worse rap than it deserves. Specically, researchers at UCLA and Montreal’s Concordia University contend that an oft-repeated claim among activists and clinicians that a man’s habitual porn viewing can lead to erectile dysfunction and other problems in the bedroom is simply lore and not fact. Although previous research has found that greater time spent viewing sexual stimuli may be linked to depression and other negative mental health outcomes, a new study found that it was “unlikely to negatively impact sexual functioning.†In a paper published Monday in the journal Sexual Medicine, researchers found that more hours spent viewing pornographic stimuli was “unrelated to erectile functioning with a partner, and was related to stronger desire for sex with a partner.†“Many clinicians claim that watching erotica makes men unable to respond sexually to ‘normal’ sexual situations,†said coauthor Nicole Prause, a UCLA sexual psychophysiologist and neuroscientist. “That was not the case in our sample.†Prause conducted the research with James Pfaus, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Concordia University. Together, they enlisted the help of 280 straight male volunteers — mostly white men in their 20s. The participants were surveyed on how often they viewed sex lms (answers ranged from zero to 25 hours a week); what their relationship status was (127 had regular sexual partners); and whether they experienced erection problems. When the study authors reviewed this information, they saw no link between increased porn viewing and erectile dysfunction. “While many people think easy access to porn leads to problems in the bedroom, our study suggests the opposite,†Pfaus said in a statement. “The erectile dysfunction is most likely caused by the same issues that have been known for some time, such as perfor mance anxiety, poor cardiovascular health or side effects from substance abuse.†That wasn’t the end of the research, however. The participants were also invited into the lab and shown a series of 20-secondto three-minute-long lms depicting a man and woman having “consensual vaginal†intercourse. The lms were less “deviant†than what study participants could access online and did not feature such activities as bondage or anal sex. Afterward, the viewers were asked to rate their level of sexual arousal while watching the icks. (The men were seated in a room by themselves and were told they would not be observed by researchers.) “We found that the men who had watched more sex lms at home were more aroused when they watched sex lms in the lab,†Prause said.Study: No link between viewing porn, sexual problems (LA Times) — If you don’t want to raise a narcissistic brat, consider taking a hard look at your parenting style. A new study found that parents who believe their kids are better, more special and deserve more than other kids can pass that point of view on to their children, creating young narcissists who feel superior to others, and entitled to privileges. “Loving your child is healthy and good, but thinking your child is better than other children can lead to narcissism, and there is nothing healthy about narcissism,†said Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University. Bushman is the co-author of a new paper that found a direct correlation between parents who overvalue their children and children who are narcissistic. The study, published Monday in PNAS, is the rst to look at the origins of narcissism. “People are not just born narcissists and there is nothing you can do about it,†Bushman said. “Our research shows that the way parents treat their children can predict how narcissistic their kids are.†To be clear, narcissism is not a disorder that people do or do not have. Rather, it is a spectrum on which adults and kids from the general population gradually differ from one another, explained Eddie Brummelman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the rst author of the study.Study: When kids are narcissists, blame the parents A m aj or n am e br an d ai d pr ov id er w is he s to t es t a re ma rk ab le n ew d igit al h ea ri ng i ns tr um en t in t he a re a.

Tournament tips off MLB: Tampa BayCobb cuts his outing shortCLEARWATER — Tampa Bay seems ready to play without pitchers Drew Smyly and Alex Colome the rst few weeks of the regular season. Alex Cobb, though, is a pitcher they can ill afford to lose for any period of time. The Rays’ opening day starter was removed from Tuesday’s start after three innings with right forearm tightness, but he didn’t seemed overly troubled by the injury. “If it was something I was really concerned about, I probably wouldn’t have thrown today at all. This was something I knew about,†Cobb said. “I got through three innings and it was just a little tight. I felt like I got my work in pretty good. I know I didn’t get my pitch count up, but I was only going four (innings) regardless. So I just thought it would be best, precautionary, to just kind of shut it down after three.†Cobb said he wouldn’t know if he will make his next scheduled start until he spoke to trainers and gauged how he felt this morning, but he expressed optimism about pitching on schedule. Manager Kevin Cash said Cobb will stick to his regular routine today and see how he feels before any further decisions are made. “If I were a betting man, I would say I’d be good tomorrow or for my next start,†Cobb said. “But I don’t want to jinx it.†The tightness bothered Cobb before the outing, but he said didn’t think it was something that would prevent him from pitching. The righthander said his arm “loosened up real well†during his three innings, but it tightened again after the third and he decided to remove himself as a precaution.

The victory ended a six-game losing streak and gave the Tarpons their first win in District 7A-11 play. Tyler Kruse pitched four innings in relief to record the win, coming in after Fort Myers cut the seven-run deficit to one off starting pitcher Colton Smith and reliever Matt Ranson. “A senior stepped up for us,†Charlotte coach Lavell Cudjo said. “He wanted the ball. We tried to get Ranson in there. He’s been battling injuries, but he couldn’t do it, so we brought in the senior.†Kruse allowed three hits, a walk and an unearned run in four innings and forced Fort Myers into two double plays while scoring twice from the plate. PREP BASEBALL: Charlotte 9, Fort Myers 7 UP NEXTCharlotte: vs. Riverdale, Friday, 7 p.m. ENGLEWOOD — A late-inning comeback fell short Tuesday night as Lemon Bay High School fell to Cardinal Mooney, 6-4, in a non-district baseball. The Manta Rays trailed, 6-0, and had three hits off Cougar starter Parker MacPhail after ve innings. Once MacPhail turned the game over to the bullpen, Lemon Bay’s comeback began. Jaryd Clary greeted reliever Noah Camp with a double and scored on Ryan Conroy’s single. Conroy went to second on a balk and took third on a wild pitch as Zach Pellicciotti struck out. But Pellicciotti reached rst when the third strike pitch turned into a passed ball. Nick Beltz’s hit scored Conroy, and Pellicciotti scored on an ineld single by Steven Yulee to make it 6-3 going into the seventh. Reliever Spencer Stevens recorded the last out of the sixth, but he walked Clary to lead off the seventh. Conroy followed with a double down the left eld line to put runners on second and third. Clary scored on a passed ball to make it 6-4. The Mantas put the tying run at second with nobody out, thanks to a walk and a wild pitch.

The GMs devised two options related to overtime: a switch to three-on-three play for ve minutes that the Swedish Hockey League employs or a four-on-four to three-onthree approach similar to the American Hockey League. The recommendations will go to the joint NHL/NHLPA competition committee, which meets in June and must approve any rule changes. That committee also will consider the other recommendation from general managers of instituting a coach’s challenge system for goaltender interference. If it goes through, coaches will be able to challenge goalie interference only on goals scored and only if they have their timeout left. The AHL increased their overtime play to seven minutes, starting out with four-on-four play until the rst whistle after three minutes of play. The remainder of the overtime is then played as three-on-three. NHL: GMs Meetings NHL ROUNDUP Canadiens top Florida SUNRISE — P.K.

But they understand what’s at stake. “We’ve got to make sure we don’t do what a lot of other teams from mid-major programs or conferences might do,†said Robert Morris sixthman Lucky Jones. “This is not like a party event. We’re here to make history and get a win or two in the NCAA Tournament.†The Colonials (19-14), winners of the Northeast Conference Tournament, meet the Ospreys (23-11), champions of the Atlantic Sun Tournament, tonight. Robert Morris’ average home attendance was 1,106; North Florida’s was 2,725. A capacity crowd of 12,495 will be at the University of Dayton Arena and millions will be watching on TV, so there’s bound to be some nerves. “It’s human nature to have jitters,†Ospreys forward Chris Davenport said. “After the rst couple of minutes of the game, me and my teammates will just treat it as any other game.†SOUND FAMILIAR?: A mobile squad that likes to pump up 3s and plays above average defense — that description fits both teams. The Ospreys average 76 points; Robert Morris 69.0. North Florida hits 38 percent behind the arc to the Colonials’ 39.1. Both like to get out and run. “They shoot the 3 — they shoot it a lot,†said Rodney Pryor, Robert Morris’ top scorer at 15.2 points a game. “They’ve got a few guys that go at a fast clip. So we’ve got to be on high alert.†The Ospreys say the same about the Colonials.

A— 9,572 (8,272).CLEARWATER — Asdrubal Cabrera has maintained all spring that he’s ne with playing either second base or shortstop for Tampa Bay. He would just like to know which one he’s playing before the season starts. But if he were a choosing man, Cabrera prefers the view from the left side of the ineld. “Second base is too bor ing,†Cabrera said. “I see the game too slow from second base. That’s why I like to play more short.†Cabrera’s preference and experience will play a role in the Rays’ decision, manager Kevin Cash said, but there are other factors to consider: Nick Franklin, Tim Beckham, Logan Forsythe, Jake Elmore and Alexi Casilla are competing for middle ineld and utility jobs, so their comfort-level at each position will likely affect where Cabrera plays. While Cabrera has experience at both spots, he’s far more accustomed to playing shortstop. Between the majors and minors, the 29-year-old has played 1,088 games there compared to 268 at second base. His only extended runs at second came in his rst two seasons (2007, 2008) when Johnny Peralta was established as Cleveland’s shortstop, and last year, when he was traded to Washington to play alongside All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond. Some have credited diminished range for Cabrera’s move to second base, but Cash doesn’t see any merit to those claims. Though his .964 elding percentage last year was the worst mark of his career, Cabrera’s Ultimate Zone Rating — a statistic that measures a elder’s ability to get to balls in his “zone†on the eld — was higher than it had been in each of the previous three seasons. “He has not done any thing this spring to look like he’s lost range,†Cash said. “Two years ago, he had the (World Baseball Classic), so that could have gassed him a little bit, playing in those games for Venezuela. And even last year, he looked ne. But this year, comparing, I think he looks better, his body looks better and he’s moving really well.†Cash said a decision is unlikely this week. Cabrera would like to see a decision soon. “My second day here, we got a meeting together, and I told him I need time to get ready, too,†Cabrera said. “If you want me to play second, I need time to get ready to play second. If you want me to play short, I need time. So that’s the decision they’re going to make as soon as they can.†Status updates: Outfielder Desmond Jennings was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with flu-like symptoms. He is expected to be back in the lineup today at Toronto. Reliever Grant Balfour threw 30 pitches during a live batting practice session on Tuesday. Cash said he could make his spring debut Friday or Saturday. Outfielder Brandon Guyer (oblique) faced Balfour on Tuesday, taking three at-bats of five pit ches each and doing drills getting out of the box. He’s scheduled to play five innings in the field and take two at-bats today against Toronto in Dunedin. Left-hander Drew Smyly (shoulder tendinitis) played catch from 90 feet on Monday, took the day off Tuesday and will play catch again today. Left-hander Jake McGee (offseason elbow surgery) pitched off a mound for the first time on Tuesday, throwing 20 pitches. Right-hander Alex Colome (pneumonia) remains hospitalized in Port Charlotte. Extra bases: The Rays belted three home runs in a 5-3 win against Philadelphia. Designated hitter Logan Forsythe hit his second and third and outfielder Mikie Mahtook hit his first. Cash said the Rays are going to start having major league players take extra at-bats in minor league games soon. Hitting coach Derek Shelton wants every hitter to have 50 to 60 at-bats by the end of the spring.Contact Josh Vitale at 941-206-1122 or jvitale@sun-herald.comCabrera prefers short if given choice MLB: Tampa Bay notebookNo decision is looming, but he wants time to prepareBy JOSH VITALESPORTS WRITER AP FILE PHOTOAsdrubal Cabrera throws to rst during a elding drill last month at the Charlotte Sports Park complex in Port Charlotte. Cabrera has played 1,088 games at short in his career and 268 at second. AP FILE PHOTODesmond Jennings, shown signing autographs earlier this spring, missed Tuesday’s game with u-like symptoms. MESA, Ariz. — Jason Hammel threw four scoreless innings and Anthony Rizzo reached base three times as the Chicago Cubs beat Kansas City 4-3 Tuesday. Hammel came in with a 10.80 ERA in his previous two outings over ve innings, but had good downward action and fastball command against the Royals. The right-hander allowed two hits and struck out three in his longest outing of the spring after he allowed nine hits and walked three in his previous two appearances. Royals starter Danny Duffy was nearly as good, other than a tough third inning in which he hit a batter and walked two, including Starlin Castro to force in the rst run of the game. Rizzo was hit by a pitch and singled twice, including a RBI shot to right-center off Royals reliever Wade Davis in the fth. Reds 4, Indians 0: In Goodyear, Ariz., AL Cy Young winner Corey Kluber gave up home runs to Todd Frazier and Kristopher Negron in Cincinnati’s victory. Kluber allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four. Reds starter Mike Leake pitched two-hit ball for four innings. Astros 13, Pirates 7: In Bradenton, Chris Carter was 3 for 3 with two doubles and four RBIs to break out of a spring-training slump and lift Houston. Carter had entered 1 for 13 with two RBIs in the exhibition season. Pirates left-hander Jeff Locke was roughed up for six runs and seven hits in three innings, leaving him with a 9.00 ERA. Braves 11, Red Sox 3: In Fort Myers, Clay Buchholz allowed four runs in four innings, and Boston’s defense committed four of the game’s seven errors in the loss. Buchholz gave up two earned runs and five hits, striking out six. A throwing error by second baseman Dustin Pedroia led to a pair of unearned runs in the fourth. Nationals 6, Tigers 4: In Lakeland, Stephen Strasburg struck out five in four scoreless innings to lead Washington. Making his second spring-training start, Strasburg allowed three hits and no walks. Verlander gave up four runs and five hits in four innings. He hadn’t allowed a run in his first two starts. Twins 10, Orioles 9: In Sarasota, Matt Wieters returned to catching exactly six months after Tommy John surgery and played six innings in Baltimore’s loss. No Minnesota base runner tried to steal, and Wieters’ only hard throw was a wide toss to first on Josmil Perez’s roller. Cardinals 7, Marlins (ss) 1: In Jupiter, Jhonny Peralta had three hits, including his first homer of spring training, leading St. Louis. Peralta, who entered in 1-for-14 slide, homered on a fifth-inning slider from Bryan Morris for a 5-1 lead. He singled in his first two at-bats. Mets 6, Marlins (ss) 4: In Port St. Lucie, Jacob deGrom allowed one hit in five scoreless innings to help New York. DeGrom, the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year, struck out six and walked none. He has struck out 12 and walked one in three spring training starts. Around the nation: New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson defended the team’s handling of pitcher Zack Wheeler, who is expected to miss the 2015 season because of a torn elbow ligament. The 24-year-old right-hander made 32 starts and pitched a career-high 185 innings last year despite recurring elbow pain throughout the season. Yu Darvish underwent seasonending elbow surgery, when the torn ligament from the Texas Rangers ace’s right arm was replaced with a tendon from his forearm. The Rangers said Dr. James Andrews reported elbow ligament-replacement surgery went as expected, with no complications. Former All-Star first baseman Tony Clark, the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said he supported Pete Rose’s reinstatement from a lifetime ban. Clark said Rose made a bad decision that he has paid the price for. Pittsburgh announced Francisco Liriano has been selected to start opening day April 6 at Cincinnati. Liriano will be the first Pirates pitcher to start on opening day in consecutive seasons since Oliver Perez in 2005-06.Hammel, Rizzo lead Cubs past Kansas City MLB: Tuesday’s highlightsReds shut out the Indians; Twins outslug BaltimoreBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSAP PHOTOChicago Cubs third baseman Mike Olt throws Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer out at rst during the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game in Mesa, Ariz.

(AP) — Struggling with her serve and a rash of errors, Serena Williams needed three sets to get by Sloane Stephens 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 in the fourth round at the BNP Paribas Open and extend her winning streak to 14 matches Tuesday. Williams committed 52 unforced errors and had nine double faults to go with 13 aces and 31 winners in the up-and-down match played in 90-degree (32 Celsius) heat. She set up match point with a 128-mph ace and won when Stephens dumped a backhand into the net, one of her 36 errors. Williams broke Stephens three times in the nal set of her third match at Indian Wells since ending a 14-year personal boycott of the tournament.JudiciaryNew Jersey, leagues renew court tussle over sports gambling: In Philadelphia, the fight over legalized sports gambling in New Jersey returned to a federal appeals court, where attorneys for the state and the country’s major sports leagues spent nearly an hour parsing language in a decades-old federal statute and in recent court rulings. At issue: Whether a 2014 New Jersey law repealing prohibitions against sports gambling violates the 1992 federal Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which says states cannot “sponsor, operate, advertise, promote, license or authorize†sports betting. A good portion of the oral argu ments before the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals focused on the meaning of the word “authorize,†and whether New Jersey did that when Gov. Chris Christie signed the law striking the betting prohibitions. In Fall River, Mass., prosecutors in the murder trial of ex-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez added bits and pieces to their case against him, presenting an acquain tance who said Hernandez looked angry when he and the victim were at a Boston nightclub days before the killing, showing video of headlights moving near the crime scene and putting on a Nike expert who said Hernandez was wearing that night the same kind of shoes that left a footprint where the victim’s body was found. A landmark ruling that opened the door for college football and basketball players to be paid went against all previous court rulings, including a 1984 U.S. Supreme Court decision, an attorney for the NCAA told a federal appeals court in San Francisco. Lawyer Seth Waxman told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that courts never previously held that rules meant to protect the amateur status of student athletes violated antitrust law.IDITARODSeavey poised for victory: In Nome, Alaska, Dallas Seavey was the first musher into the checkpoint at White Mountain, where mushers and their dogs must take a mandatory eight-hour break.

The Pirates (7-6 and 2-3 in district play) gave up two runs in the top of the third inning and a solo home run by Landon Nyberg in the sixth. But that was enough on a night when North Fort Myers starter Quinn Bourque and reliever Tyler Russo combined on a six-hit shutout. Port Charlotte starter Matt LePoint matched them, throwing a six-hitter of his own. He struck out seven and walked one. However, three of those hits LePoint allowed came in the second, when North Fort Myers (6-7, 2-1) scored twice on Lukas Post’s two-run double. That followed a pair of one-out singles and a sacrice. “Matt pitched pretty well tonight,†said Pirates coach Bryan Beisner. “We did pretty well tonight. We hit the ball well, but it was usually right at somebody. They played us pretty deep tonight.†Port Charlotte had its chances. In the bottom of the fourth. Romain Reynolds singled but was thrown out at second trying to stretch the play into a double. Following another single, Bourque induced an inning-ending double play. “That (the fourth inning) was a tough break for us,†Beisner said. “That really put us in a hole.†In the bottom of the seventh. Reynolds opened the inning with a double and Mark Uebelacker walked. A sharp single to left by Raven Jones loaded the bases. But Timmy Smith struck out and Donovan Petrey grounded out to rst inning to end the contest. Reynolds went 3 for 3 with a pair of two doubles. N. FORT MYERS 3, PORT CHARLOTTE 0N.

That’s why Chris Borland’s decision to retire at age 24, after a great rookie season with the 49ers and a near-guaranteed huge payday down the line, sent shockwaves rippling across the NFL. The announcement came within days of retirements by 20-somethings Jason Worilds, Jake Locker, Cortland Finnegan and 30-year-old perennial Pro Bowl 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, whose spot Borland was expected to ll. Each of those players cited different reasons for calling it quits. Only Borland, who suffered a concussion in training camp last fall but covered it up in a bid to win a spot on the eld, tied his departure directly to the continuing risk of brain injury. “I just thought to myself, ‘What am I doing? Is this how I’m going to live my adult life, banging my head, especially with what I’ve learned and knew about the dangers?’†Borland said Monday on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.†But more surprising, and perhaps even more unsettling for the league’s long-term prospects, was the reaction from fellow players and the game’s notoriously tough fan base: an almost-unanimous show of respect for a young player who left millions on the table rather than expose himself to more concussions. “I didn’t see it coming,†Chris Nowinski, an expert on sports-related concussions, said about Borland’s announcement. “This was somebody who got educated on the issue, and the choices he was facing. I wasn’t sure if there were current players interested enough to do their homework.†But a moment later, Nowinski, a Harvard graduate, author and former pro wrestler who was instrumental in the formation of Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, said the reaction from the larger NFL community may have been more surprising still. “It shows the macho culture of ‘destroy yourself for the game’ is losing its grip, that it’s no longer cool to question people’s toughness. That represents a big shift in thinking from just a few years ago,†he said. “The real question now is whether those players who stay in the game will be encouraged to become greater advocates for their own safety.â€Players support Borland’s move NFL: ConcussionsYoung 49er quits over concerns about healthBy JIM LITKEASSOCIATED PRESS AP FILE PHOTOInside linebacker Chris Borland, shown tackling Washington’s Alfred Morris last season, shocked the NFL by retiring after a promising rookie season because of longterm health concerns. IRVING, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys met with free agent defensive end Greg Hardy on Tuesday as they explore ways to improve a shaky pass rush from last season. Hardy’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the former Pro Bowl player for Carolina was visiting Cowboys headquarters. The 26-year-old Hardy could be suspended to start the season because of a conviction on two counts of domestic violence in North Carolina. The conviction was dismissed in February when his accuser couldn’t be found. Hardy remains on the commissioner’s exempt list as he seeks reinstatement by the NFL. The NFL has said the 6-foot-4, 275-pound Hardy is free to sign with another team while it investigates his case. League spokesman Greg Aiello said there was no change in Hardy’s status. Reports have indicated Tampa Bay is discussing bringing Hardy in for a visit, but no plans have been made. Giants introduce new pricing system: The New York Giants have cut prices for preseason tickets almost in half as part of a new program that will reduce the overall cost of season package slightly for almost all fans. The team said the price of preseason tickets will be cut by roughly 50 percent of the cost of a regular-season ticket. The cost of the regular-season tickets for the eight home games will increase $10-$20 for “non-club†tickets, depending on location, and by $15-$25 for “club†game tickets, again depending on location. Under the old package, the cost for preseason and regular-season games was the same. Around the nation: Oakland signed free agent running back Trent Richardson. The Raiders will be Richardson’s third team since becoming the No. 3 pick in 2012 out of Alabama as one of the most heralded running backs in years. He was drafted by Cleveland who traded him to Indianapolis during the 2013 season. San Francisco signed free agent offensive lineman Erik Pears to a two-year contract. Pears spent the past five seasons in Buffalo.Cowboys meet with DE Hardy NFL NOTEBOOKBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mantas roll by PiratesSTAFF REPORTS PORT CHARLOTTE — Shannen Smith dropped two games at No. 5 singles to remain unbeaten on the season and help Lemon Bay High School take a 6-1 victory against Port Charlotte in girls tennis on Tuesday. Smith, a junior, improved to 10-0; the Manta Rays are 12-0. “She came in this year, took the No. 5 spot and has played well,†Lemon Bay coach Darrell Roach said. “She has great movement and is very steady. She is like our wall: She gets everything back.†In the closest match, Port Charlotte’s Corrine Bresky rallied from 5-1 down in the rst-set tiebreaker to beat Vika Antonova, 7-6(6), 6-3, at No. 2 singles. Bresky, a freshman, improved to 8-0, including a pair of wins against Antonova. She is the only unbeaten Pirate. Lemon Bay concludes its regular season at home on the high school courts on Monday against Charlotte.

SOFTBALLFort Myers 14, Charlotte 3: Host Fort Myers exacted revenge on Charlotte for an early-season defeat in Punta Gorda with a 14-3 victory that ended after the top of the fifth because of the mercy rule. In other softball action on Tuesday, Lakewood Ranch shut out Lemon Bay 16-0 in a game shortened by the mercy rule in Englewood. PREP ROUNDUP However, the Cougars nally found relief from their bullpen. Reliever Josh Bonynge entered and struck out Pellicciotti. Though he walked Beltz to load the bases, he struck out Luke Conklin and ended the game on a grounder to short. “We fought and I’m proud of my guys for not laying down and giving up when it didn’t seem like there was anything going in our favor,†said Lemon Bay coach Casey Hanrahan. “We had the opportunity to win and that’s all you can ask for is a chance to win.†The Cougars, who had defeated the Manta Rays, 10-0, earlier in the season, jumped to a 2-0 lead against starting pitcher Conroy in the rst inning. Mooney added another run in the second and two more in the fourth to make it 5-0. Sam Steyer came in to pitch in the fth and held the Cougars hitless, but he walked the bases full in the top of the sixth. Beltz entered in relief and walked Tyler Strong to force in the sixth run, before getting Shanahan to hit into a force play to end the inning. “We’ve taken some lumps this season, that’s for sure,†said Hanrahan, who saw Lemon Bay fall to 4-9 on the season. “The ball hasn’t bounced in our direction up to this point. Hopefully, we’re due for a couple of balls bouncing in the right direction. We put ourselves in a position to win, but you’ve got to execute in those situations. I wish we would have won this game, but at least we showed some character and fought until the end.†Eight players got hits for Cardinal Mooney (104), while Conroy led the way for Lemon Bay with two singles and a double.CARDINAL MOONEY 6, LEMON BAY 4Cardinal Mooney 210 201 0 — 6 8 1 Lemon Bay 000 003 1 — 4 8 3 Parker MacPhail, Noah Camp (6), Spencer Stevens (6), Josh Bonynge (7) and Park er Shanahan.

The Manta Rays lost 6-4. That meant the sophomore LeMaster, whose single in the third inning started the seven-run uprising off Green Wave starter Zackh Kazak. Robert Bettinger’s two-run single and Christian Faldetta’s RBI single also figured prominently in the inning. “We pulled Shane up a while back, and he’s been a good fit and shows he belongs here,†Cudjo said. Fort Myers (6-7, 2-3) chipped away, scoring two in the third on a Kyle Eckert two-run single, and four in the fourth, highlighted by Grabe Trank’s two-run single. The Tarpons helped, walking four and hitting a batter in the fourth. LeMaster gave Charlotte a run in the fifth with an RBI single, and Christian Faldetta added a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. Wes Wilkinson scored twice and drove in a run for Charlotte; Austin Crespo went 2 for 3 with a double and a run scored. Gabe Trank went 2 for 4 with two runs and two RBI for Fort Myers “I told the kids if they continue to play hard anything could happen.

March 18 24, 2015 E/N/C/V Let’s Go! 3 Why be normal? Instead of bragging to your friends about going to see the latest movie or concert this weekend, you could tell them you milked a goat in Fort Myers. Bet your friends hadn’t thought of that. ECHO, a Christian nonprofit that helps impoverished and small-scale farmers learn how to grow food with sustainable methods, will host their annual Global Food and Farm Festival from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Visitors can participate in live cooking shows, tours, workshops, demonstrations, taste food and have eco-friendly fun. ECHO has its international headquarters and a 50-acre farm at 17391 Durrance Road, North Fort Myers. Take a tour of their tropical rainforest and 300-plus variety seed bank. They also have more than 40 varieties of bamboo, which surprisingly is a grass, not a tree. Who knew?Count the lucky cloversWe had a successful clover count in last week’s edition of Let’s Go! thanks to our sponsors: Celtic Ray in Punta Gorda, Howards Restaurant and Norma Jean’s Sports Bar in Englewood. Oops againThe phone number in the Nicola’s article last week should have been 941-474-6195. We apologize for the error. G ABRIELA M ENDOZA Let’s Go! Editor The Gentlemen of Jazz will entertain this afternoon at the gazebo in Centennial Park in downtown Venice. Bring lawn chairs or blankets. The performance begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, the Sky Family YMCA in Venice will sponsor its annual St. Patty’s Day 8K run along Harbor Drive. Sharky’s at the Pier provides continental breakfast for the runners who enjoy a science loop course. Participants receive T-shirts and there will be ve awards in each of ve age divisions plus overall, male/female, masters, grand masters and senior grand masters divisions. Registration is $35 through March 12 and $40 March 13 and 14. Sign up via their website at SWFlymca.org/Programs/St.-Patty-s-Day-8k. Pair this with the Farmer’s Market over on Tampa Avenue from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and, even without a weekend art show, downtown Venice promises to be a busy place on Saturday. That Venice also has become a foodie destination with 32 Italian restaurants alone is another draw to the historic John Nolen-planned community. To learn more about John Nolen, head to the Venice Museum and Archives from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday or from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the rst and third Saturday of the month through April 4. The museum is at 351 S. Nokomis Ave., on the island in downtown Venice. For information, call 941-486-2487. Blalock Park and the Venice Arboretum are across the street. Save next Saturday for the fourth annual Venice Book Fair and Writer’s Festival in Centennial Park in downtown Venice. That word “and†is the key to this festival. Sponsored by Gulf Coast Community Foundation and the Venice Gondolier Sun , the fes tival is geared for writers as much as for readers. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Master classes for writers begin at 10 a.m. and at 1 p.m. in the KMI clubhouse behind the Venice Center Mall and at Venice Theatre. If you have a book in you or think you do, be there. ‘Like’ us on Facebook:www.facebook.com/ SunCoastLetsGoYour weekly guide to entertainment, travel and arts in Southwest Florida.

6 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 WINEWhile attending Reed College in Portland, Ore., in the mid-1970s, Dave Polite went to wine tastings held in Dick Ponzi’s garage. Ponzi owned a small winery in a remote area near Portland and he sampled the various wines and listened to music. “I really got into it,†Polite said. “In 1991, I moved from New York City to the Willamette Valley to make wine. People thought I was nuts.†From his humble beginnings, Polite transformed his “special piece of dirt†into a protable winery he named Carlton Hill. Unlike Ponzi, however, he kept his business on a smaller scale. But like Ponzi, he realized the soil and Oregon climate produces some of the best Pinot Noir, a dark red grape, in the world. It derives its name from the French meaning forest and black. On their recent “trip to the great Northwest,†Dr. Marc Melser and his wife, Cindy, were accompa nied by Dr. Stephen Petrofsky and his wife, Hannah. They toured Carlton Hill with their guide, John Swenson. “John was our guide and he specializes in smaller wineries,†Melser said. “After sampling some of his great Pinot Noirs, I communicated with Dave (Polite) to set up a wine tasting and discovered he was in Palm Island where he spends his winters.†On March 7, Maureen Stasi, owner of D’Vines Wine and Gift Emporium, 701 JC Center Court, No. 2, Port Charlotte, hosted a private vertical wine tasting. About 40 guests attended. “A vertical tasting is nothing more than tasting wines from dierent years,†Polite said. “Tonight, we will be tasting all Pinot Noir from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012.†Polite said his vineyard produces on average about 300 to 400 kegs annually. In a big year, that number has climbed to 550 kegs. He brings his grapes into the barn and lets them “do the talking.†He adds no yeast unless he has to, he said, and no enzymes for additional extractions. Unless he has a disease in the vineyard he uses no chemicals. And even at that, he “uses the lightest of chemicals.†Natural is the key word at Carlton Hill. The Pinot Noir grape is thin-skinned and requires a cool climate and a long summer, according to Polite. “You don’t want it to ripen too soon,†he said. “It is called the heartbreak grape, but the nal result is known as the ‘wine of kings.’†The rst Pinot Noir was Polite’s 2008 vintage. “Ten months after bottling, this wine is experi encing the expansive range of fruit and spice I had experienced in the cellar. It is best to drink between 2014 and 2020,†Polite said. Next was the 2009 vintage that took double gold in the 2012 Oregon Wine Awards. “It was a better year but not quite a Goldilocks vintage,†Polite said. “They ripened sooner, so I picked the grapes on Sept. 20 that year. We had a bright, fresher grape. The sugar content climbs in warmer weather as well.†Although Polite’s 2010 Pinot Noir won the Double Gold Medal in the Oregon Wine Awards, he said “it was a nightmare year.†“I lost half of my grapes because we had a wet spring and a cooler than average summer,†he said. “Some lost their entire crop.†“I give 99 percent credit to the vineyard,†Polite added. “I am a farmer rst, a wine-maker second.†For more information on Carlton Hill wines, visit www.dvineswineandgifts.com or call 941627-WINE-9463.D’Vines brings the ‘King of Wines’ to Southwest FloridaBy AL HEMINGWAYLET'S GO CORRESPONDENT LET’S GO PHOTOS BY SUE PAQUINDr. Stephen Petrofsky and his wife Hannah, Dave Polite and his wife Tara, and Cindy and Dr. Marc Melser at D’Vines wine tasting.

8 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 COVER STORYJames E. Billie, chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, said he always thought building a hotel next to the casino would be a great idea. Tony Sanchez Jr., president of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, agreed and began the multi-million-dollar expansion project. “We got out of the elds when we built our bingo hall to raise money for the Tribe,†Billie said. “We opened the casino in 1994, and here we are today opening a new hotel. We’ve come a long way.†On Thursday, March 12, the dream became a reality as Tribal leaders and elders held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to showcase their new 99-room hotel that will be open 365 days a year. Guests entered the main lobby through a gauntlet of hotel sta who clapped as each one made their way inside. The opening of the new hotel and casino expansion will not only help the Tribe but it will also be an economic boon to Collier County. Enlarging the complex means another 100 jobs to the area. The new hotel has four levels that contain 80 rooms and 19 suites with 55-inch screen television sets, Wi-Fi, a safe, mini refrigerator and a Keurig coee maker. Each suite has a large TV in the bathroom, where guests can relax in the tub and enjoy their favorite television shows. The business center is open 24 hours a day and is located in the lobby across from the front desk. Complimentary services include Internet access, printing, copying and faxing. A concierge is available 24 hours a day as well to assist guests with their reservations, folio reviews, golf course reservations and transportation needs. Delivery of documents and packages is also available. The hotel has an event center that can seat 400 visitors for a catered event. There is a 24-hour tness studio for hotel guests that includes treadmills, upright cycle, recumbent bicycle, dual adjustable pulley and dumbbell sets ranging from ve to 50 pounds. A new valet entrance was installed to assist hotel guests and is situated next to the existing casino valet service. The outdoor pool has two bars, complimentary towels and lounge chairs. Replicas of traditional Seminole Chikee huts are available to rent. A pool lift is installed for people with disabilities as well. “They went for a fresh, Florida look for the hotel,†Gisselle Crespo, Zig-Zag Ambassador, said. “It has that feel to it with the bright colors and the dcor.†The hotel was not the only addition. The casino has undergone a face-lift as well by adding another 5,600 square feet of space. There will be more than 1,300 slot machines and 38 live table games including poker, blackjack and baccarat. With the new hotel and the casino expansion, the complex has grown by 100,000 square feet. A new Seminole Center can accommodate 800 visitors that can host bands and other enter tainment. The Paradise High Limit Room has been refurbished and now oers 73 new slot machines and other games. It also features private restrooms, complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The Seminole Poker Room has been added with six tables hosting no limit Texas Hold ’Em, Omaha and 7 card stud. Food and drink specials are available. The Lucky Mi Noodle House had its grand opening last Thursday. The restaurant has an open kitchen area where customers can watch as their meals are prepared. This upscale eatery specializes in Asian dishes and has a noodle bar and a room for private functions.

James Billie, chairman of the Seminole Tribe, welcomes everyone to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

A lift to assist persons with disabilities has been installed as well. Traditional Chikee huts, like the one in the background, can be rented.other casinos and the Hard Rock Cafes, the Seminole Tribe employs about 35,000 people. James Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming, said the casino is Southwest Florida’s premier gaming destination oering a large variety of table games, as well as the newest slots and Native American Indian wide-area progressive slot machines. It also features non-stop poker in its new Seminole Poker Room and high-stakes blackjack and mini-baccarat, plus a separate area for high-limit slot machine play. “This project would not have come together without the collaboration of many people,†Allen said. “The planning, developing and especially the construction workers who put in some long hours, they made it all happen. It ended with a new product that we can all be very proud of plus it will be a major economic engine for the county.†Sanchez said the Tribe moves backward and forward — backward to keep their traditions alive, and forward into the 21st century by constructing a hotel on the site and expanding the casino to help the members. “When I look at it, I can’t help but smile,†he said. “When I walk through the front door I say to myself, ‘wow!’ It’s a tribute to the Tribal leaders and their vision.†Chris Osecola, a councilman representing Hollywood’s Seminole Tribe, said they did not get to this point by accident. “We had a lot of good people behind us,†Osecola said. “This property is like a diamond,†Sanchez added. “We need to keep shining it to bring back its luster. I am humbled by the honor to have assisted in the project. My hat is o to everyone.†The Seminole Casino Hotel is located at 506 1st St., Immokalee.

14 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 UPCOMING EVENTSSince the installation of Louis Comfort Tiany’s Laurelton Hall exhibit at Winter Park’s Morse Museum, one can even see spring daodils in Florida. The museum will celebrate spring beginning March 20, the Spring Equinox, with a three-day open house in conjunction with the annual Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. Additional spring-themed events will continue through April and will include live music, special tours and other programs. Each Friday, March 27 through April 24, admission will be free from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. with live music from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and curator tours of the Laurelton Hall exhibit at 7 p.m. On April 10, there also will be a free take-home activity for children. There also will be free admission on Easter weekend (April 3-5). At the Morse spring event, the daodils are made of glass and primarily decorate eight 11-foot-tall pillars which frame the Daodil Terrace of the family’s former Long Island home, Laurelton Hall. The exhibit is a highlight of the museum’s recent expansion and oers a view of the expanded courtyard at the museum, another important aspect of the addition. The coered terrace ceiling is comprised of molded tiles (another Tiany product) and stenciled wood elements. Within the central bay is a skylight that features six panels of iridescent glass tiles in a pear-tree motif. While not nearly as complicated as the reassembly of the Tiany Chapel from the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the installation of this part of Laurelton is considered the next most signicant conservation project. While there were thousands of tiny mosaic tiles covering columns, altar and baptismal font, there were more than 600 individual parts and fragments from Laurelton Hall, which was destroyed by re in 1957. The chapel project had been complicated by the moving company that took the chapel to Florida when an archaeologist/conservator spent several years guring out what went where. Many parts were broken when the moving company had piled a load of furniture on top of the boxes holding the chapel’s components because there was room in the van. Although the re destroyed so much of Laurelton Hall, several wonderful stained glass windows have survived along with some Tiany lamps, furniture, pottery and art glass from Tiany’s personal collection. Those items are the feature of the 6,000-square-foot Laurelton Hall gallery addition. The 10 new galleries include reconstructions of Laurelton Hall’s dining room, living room and reception hall (aka Fountain Court). The museum contains the most comprehensive collection of work by Louis Comfort Tiany and his New York studios. While the chapel is the signature display because it features so many aspects of the designer’s work, the Laurelton Hall addition plus his Art Nouveau glass, ceramics and furniture, is a showcase for that period in America as well as for his work. Also there are many 20th-century paintings and leaded glass windows by other designers of the era. The Morse Museum is at 445 North Park Ave., Winter Park, Fla. Museum hours from November through April are 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday; and l p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Regular admission is $5 for adults, $4 seniors, $1 for students and free for children under 12. All visitors receive free admission from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Fridays. For the spring events, visitors also will enjoy the concerts and tours mentioned above.

Mote is bringing its mobile aquarium to the museum to share knowledge about what can be found at the beach and in the Gulf of Mexico, not only fossil shark teeth but also the things that swim in the area. There will be surfing demon strations for those who want to join the surfers at the beach. This time of year, they are mostly wearing wet suits and most often near the South Jetty. Learn about those Florida snow shovels and more from members of the Sarasota Shell Club who will share their expertise on what is to be found along the shore. While Venice is famous for its fossilized prehistoric shark teeth, there are plenty of shells, other fossils and occasionally, an arrowhead or other interesting artifact. Shell Club members also will share the rules about collecting such things. From 2 pm. to 3 p.m., meet members of the Nokomis Drum Circle and throughout the afternoon enjoy hula hoop demonstrations. Admission is free. The Venice Museum & Archives is at 351 S. Nassau St., on the island in Venice.

16 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 AT THE MOVIES Upbeat focuses on pop and rock music of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. By Tom Lovasko, Sun Correspondent Top of Billboard Chart 1960 – “The Theme From a Summer Place†by Percy Faith 1970 – “Bridge Over Troubled Water†by Simon & Garfunkel 1980 – “Crazy Little Thing Called Love†by QueenFor the Record Early in their careers, Billy Joel, Bruce Spring steen, Hall & Oates and Steve Martin were all opening acts for Sha Na Na, a rock and roll nostalgia group that played at Woodstock. Harry Nilsson’s song “Coconut†(“she put the lime in the coconutâ€), from 1972, is unique because there is only one chord in the entire song. Tina Turner’s 1984 comeback album, “Private Dancer,†included songwriting by Paul McCartney, Al Green and David Bowie. It also contained her biggest hit, “What’s Love Got To Do With It.†Beach Boys’ leader Brian Wilson once had a giant sandbox constructed around his piano so he could seek inspiration while feeling the sand under his feet. Herb Alpert holds the distinction of having the only #1 Billboard songs as both a vocalist for “This Guy’s In Love With You†(1968) and as an instrumentalist for “Rise†(1979). Classic heavy metal artists AC/DC’s album “Who Made Who,†from 1986, was the soundtrack to a somewhat obscure Stephen King movie, “Maximum Overdrive.†Crooner Andy Williams’ trademark 1961 song “Moon River†was never released as a 45 rpm single. Last week, the trivia question asked: Name the Beatles song, from “The White Album,†in which Paul McCartney asked “will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?†Answer: “When I’m Sixty-Four†(correction: It’s on the “Sgt. Pepper’s†album!). Our weekly winners are: Lee Stein, Russ Samuel, Debbie LaRoque, Allan Tissot, Will Johnson and Rich Tilden of Punta Gorda. Diane Cronin, Sylvia Cushman and Karen Smith of Englewood.

They will perform a full-length original musical under the direction of Brad Wages. The show is a musical comedy called “A Foggy Day in London Town.†Audiences who love the Carol Burnett-type variety shows with singing, dancing and sketch comedy are sure to enjoy the zany misadventures of American tourists in London. The changing of the palace guards in toetapping rhythm, songs inspired by the foggy streets of London, and madcap comedy featuring Queen Elizabeth, Robin Hood and the neighborhood blokes at the local pub will all come together to promise a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. Sunday’s performance is at 2 p.m. Reserved seats are $25 and can be purchased online at www. venicestage.com or by calling the box oce at 941-488-1115.

Bringing song, dance and laughter to community centers, religious groups and clubs throughout Sarasota County, they currently reach nearly 5,000 audience members each season with their touring shows. Their annual MainStage show helps raise money for Venice Theatre’s education and outreach programs. This year’s show is their second year, bringing together the singers, dancers and actors to tell a full-scale musical theater story. Brad Wages took on the role of artistic director of the Silver Foxes last year. “The change in format of last year’s show brought fabulous comments from many patrons who stated that the evolution of the program was exciting,†Wages said. The result of the change of format has united and integrated the singers, actors and dancers, as well as brought national attention to the Silver Foxes.

March 18 24, 2015 E/N/C/V Let’s Go! 19 PLAN YOUR WEEK | COMMUNITY EVENTS‘Happiness Wall’ returns to Fishermen’s Village FridayIs there still room in America for the “pursuit of happiness?†“YES! Absolutely,†according to several local Southwest Floridians who will be part of the United Nations International Day of Happiness Friday. There will be an Acts of Happiness wall erected at Fishermen’s Village in Punta Gorda to celebrate the International Day of World Happiness. The Acts of Happiness wall is part of a worldwide movement to focus on personal and worldwide happiness. Visitors to Fishermen’s Village will be able to come and post their acts of happiness on the local wall located near center court between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. A Live “Happy Music Jam†takes place at Center Stage from noon to 2 p.m. with local entertainer “Hawaii Tom†& Friends. The United Nations has proclaimed March 20 The “International Day of Happiness, and has invited all member states, organizations of the United Nations system and other international and regional organizations, as well as civil society, including non-governmental organizations and individuals, to observe the International Day of Happiness in an appropriate manner, including through education and public awareness-raising activities,†according to the ocial U.N. resolution. “We are part of a nationwide movement on that day to bring awareness to happiness as a way of life,†says Tom Watson, an ambassador with Live Happy who is helping to spearhead the movement in Florida. “All across the nation, from our largest cities to our smaller towns, people will be able to enjoy a visit to one of these Happiness Walls, or visit the virtual wall online and share in the UN’s International Day of Happiness. It will be quite powerful here locally as it will be happening simultaneously around the globe.†“We were happy to host the Happiness Wall next to Village Fish Market last year and were thrilled with the results,†says Kathy Burnam, Marketing Director for Fishermen’s Village. “The Village is such a happy place to be, and many visitors that day were thrilled to stop by the wall and post their reasons to be happy. It promises to be a fun and positive event for everyone!â€Venice Concert Band selling 2015-2016 season ticketsThe Venice Concert Band’s Spring Concert will be presented at 7 p.m., Monday, March 30 at the Venice Performing Arts Center. Season tickets for the 20152016 concert season will be available at the VPAC box oce from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and at the door. The price of season tickets will remain the same — $30 for six concerts November through April. General admission tickets priced at $7 for this concert will also be sold at the same times.ArtSlam 2015 March 21 in Bradenton Organizers at Realize Bradenton announce the fth annual ArtSlam, a celebration of the arts taking place in conjunction with the Bradenton Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, March 21, on Old Main Street in downtown Bradenton (between 3rd Avenue West and Manatee Avenue). ArtSlam invites teams of creatives to take their work out of the studios, galleries, theaters, and class rooms and onto the streets of downtown Bradenton. According to Johnette Isham, the executive director at Realize Bradenton, the festival’s focus this year is highlighting the creative youth of Manatee County. “We’re celebrating Manatee County students and their teachers by showcasing student performances, art works and street art,†Isham said. “It’s a great opportunity for the students to experience a realworld connection to the art they make. It’s also a great experience for audiences, who don’t often get a chance to view works by young and emerging artists.†Isham adds that the festival will also feature dozens of other creative projects, exhibits and performances by professional artists and performers, including Fuzion Dance Artists, the Hoola Monsters, and State College of Florida. Jugglers, balloon twisters, and stilt walkers will delight all ages and free glitter tattoos and face painting also will be oered. “This is a family-friendly festival with plenty of opportunities for audiences to become part of the creative process,†Isham said. Realize Bradenton is also encouraging real-time interaction on social media with an added bonus — recognition and free ice cream. Jeremy Piper, communication manager for Realize Bradenton explains, “We want to connect with youth on a platform they are familiar with, and encourage them to share the ArtSlam experience with their circle of friends.†To participate, share a photo using the hashtag #ARTslam15 on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, and Realize Bradenton will choose, and showcase, the most unique photo posted during each hour of event. A new picture tagged with the hashtag will be featured every hour, for a total of seven winners. In addition to the recognition, Realize Bradenton will award a small ice cream party at Corwin’s for the selected winners and six of their closest friends. “We want to make sure everyone is exposed to the convergence of creativity in downtown Bradenton, and the ice cream is a sweet reward for sharing,†Piper adds.Help raise the roof for the Lemon Bay Woman’s Club SundayWomen are invited to participate in an afternoon of pampering from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, March 22, at the Lemon Bay Woman’s Club, 51 N. Maple St., Englewood. Experts will be on-site to provide you with nail painting, haircutting, chair massage and waxing. While waiting to get pampered, you’ll be able to shop for unique jewelry, Mary Kay products, Party Lite candles, †tote bags and Bon Worth fashions. The event will also oer a silent auction and door prizes. The clubhouse, located at the corners of Maple and Cocoanut streets, will be in need of a new roof in about two years and proceeds from this event will be earmarked for that project. Join them for a fun, relaxing afternoon and help the LBWC to raise a new roof.See ‘Fallujah,’ the rst opera created about the U.S. Iraq war this FridayArt2Action Inc., in partnership with the University of South Florida (USF), presents Spring 2015 artists in the “Building Bridges†series with an incredible lineup of Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim performing artists at USF, as the ambitious and provocative series, THIS Bridge, continues into 2015. At 7:30 p.m. this Friday see “Fallujah†with librettist Heather Rao at the USF School of Music Concert Hall. The second artist residency this spring will feature a special work-in-progress presentation of “Fallujah†— the rst opera created about the U.S. Iraq war. The product of an extraordinary and unexpected collaboration, the libretto is written by award-winning Iraqi American playwright Rao and based on the true story of U.S. Marine Christian Ellis. Along with composer Tobin Stokes, Ellis and Rao worked to set Ellis’ wartime experiences to music, creating a heart-wrenching and emotional exploration of the lives of American veterans and Iraqis. “This is not just a story of pain and struggle, but of hope and redemption,†said Rao. “Bringing my experiences to life in Fallujah has given me hope, inspiration and a pathway to healing,†said Ellis. Tickets are $10 for veterans, students and seniors; and $15 for general admission. For advance sales, visit Ticketmaster at goo.gl/Qx8Gs1. adno=50467704

20 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 DINING OUTTired of the same-old shrimp cocktail, salmon or mahi-mahi? Then it’s time to go see the captain. The menu at Captain Eddie’s is anything but boring. Seafood such as hogsh, grouper cheeks, catsh llets, rock shrimp, alligator bites or frog legs — not considered standard fare in most seafood restaurants or markets — are popular choices at Captain Eddie’s Seafood Restaurant, where owners Sam Chavers and Jane Corliss serve up heaping helpings of common and uncommon seafood delights. “People love coming here because we offer a wide assortment of quality seafood. We’re unique in that we llet our freshly caught sh right here on the premises,†said Corliss, who with her husband, Eddie, began selling local seafood in the Venice area in 1981. “We started with a small retail market near by, but relocated to our present location in 1984. The original seafood market and rustic dining area still exists, but 11 years ago, Sam Chavers and I enlarged the restaurant to include a modern dining room and bar area.†After selling his Chinese restaurant in Sarasota and entering into partnership with Corliss at Captain Eddie’s, Chavers introduced a number of new menu items: Sam’s oriental egg rolls, sesame ginger soy dressing, tacos and chicken or seafood quesadillas with sour cream and homemade salsa. Customers who enjoy sports will be happy to learn that large, at-screen TVs have been installed at both the inside and tiki area bars. In the main dining room, however, a soothing two-hour video features rare tropical sh photographed by Corliss herself during deep-sea shing expeditions to Micronesia, Honolulu, Hawaii, the Philippines, Mexico and the Bahamas. “I update the video each year,†said Corliss, a former marine biologist and Certied Deep Sea Diver for the National Marine Fisheries Service, a Federal Agency. “I continue to dive for pleasure locally on weekends and travel extensively to photograph ocean life in foreign countries at least three times a year.†Last July, Chavers and Corliss speared an 11-pound hogsh in 104-foot deep water 32 miles offshore of Venice Outlet. A collection of paintings, photographs and nautical memorabilia adorn the restaurant’s walls. Frequent customers Sandy Dussalt, a former deep sea diver, and Bob Kitson, whose son owns a diving company and resort, love sharing stories about diving experiences while dining at Captain Eddies. “I highly recommend the smoked sh dip as an appetizer,†said Kitson, “And bartender, Tim, makes the best margar ita in town.†Additional customer recommendations include raw oysters on the half shell and pan-sauted Blue Crab cakes with claw and jumbo lump crab meat. “Our signature dish is the deep-fried rock shrimp,†said Corliss, “but customers may want to try our house specialty, Gulf hogsh that can be fried, broiled or blackened.†Dinner favorites listed on their extensive menu include: Fried or broiled Florida Gulf shrimp; fried clam strips; coconut breaded shrimp with orange dipping sauce; or fried, blackened or broiled Okeechobee catsh llet. Landlubbers may choose baby back ribs, chopped sirloin steak or chicken ngers with hush puppies and two sides. For dessert, Corliss and Chavers recommend their award-winning Key lime pie or bread pudding topped with chopped pecans, butter scotch sauce and whipped cream. Captain Eddie’s Seafood Restaurant, located at 107 E. Colonia Lane, Nokomis, opens daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with happy hour specials available.

22 Let’s Go! E/N/C/V March 18 24, 2015 DINING OUTairport (noun) complex of runways and buildings for takeo, landing, and maintenance of civil aircraft, with facilities for passengersThe dictionary implies that an airport is just a way station between origin and destination. Indeed, most airports are places to be endured, where one is stripped of shoes, scanned, patted down and forced to wait on unyielding plastic seats. But the Punta Gorda Airport is a destination. The informal local phone chain starts buzzing toward the end of the week. “Hey, we’re going to the airport this Sunday. Wanna come?†Drive out of downtown Punta Gorda on Taylor Road and follow a trail of aeronautically named streets — Airport, Piper, Viking (an aircraft engine), Skylane. Charlotte County Jail sits out there, isolated amid at farmland. The Charlotte County campus of Florida SouthWestern State College sprawls nearby. The rest of the route to the airport looks like a road to nowhere, through acres of undeveloped land and placidly grazing longhorns. Why on earth would friends head o into nowhere on a Sunday morning, to gather at a complex of runways and buildings? Closer to the airport, clouds of starlings scatter o the tarmac. Longand short-term lots that boast two hours’ free parking are already full. Pull into a space in the short-term lot, step out of your car, and breathe in the reason why friends make this their destination. There’s nothing like the aroma of bacon and hash browns drifting across the parking lot from Carolyn and Ed Gallagher’s SkyView Caf. Inside, it’s packed. Server Shelly, who’s worked here for four years, shakes her head and says, “Today’s a quiet day. You couldn’t even get in the door last Sunday. Sometimes we’re full, but people still stand outside and wait.†Of course passengers and sta, both private and commercial, eat here. One young traveler from Japan arrived, starving, after an 18-hour ight. Though she knew no English and was vegan, she received exactly what she somehow managed to order. Like boaters cruising to a riverfront bar, private pilots also make this an afternoon destination. Mechanics, wearing identical orange shirts, black caps and shorts, and bands of silver reective tape, tuck into manly breakfasts before returning to work. Traveling diners gather at wrought-iron tables on the patio overlooking a strip of runway. Hoping to see planes taxi right by, kids try to invoke them with drawings on their paper place mats. Many of the caf’s customers are regulars. For these retirees, most hailing from someplace else, an airport is an ironically appropriate meeting place. Plus the food is good. Mark Wilson, of Punta Gorda Isles and Springfield, Ill., solos here while wife, Colleen, tends her horses at a nearby farm. One party of 18 are New Englanders. Many of them got to know one another in Rhode Island, then regrouped as a big, familial clan here in Punta Gorda. “And this isn’t even all of us,†laughs Pats fan Jack Tyrell. A jolly group from the Mariners of PGI boat club comes in nearly every Sunday. This well-organized crew of local boaters coordinates more than 40 annual cruises to various desti nations, including local waterfront restaurants. All boating aside, their priorities are “the folks you meet and the friendships that are formed.†And to come here, they don’t even need fair winds and following seas. The SkyView Caf is at 28000 Airport Road, Punta Gorda. The cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 941-637-6004. Know a restaurant or bar with a good story?

March 18 24, 2015 E/N/C/V Let’s Go! 23 DINING OUT Dining Out With Venice residents Bob and Beth Piel made time in their busy schedules to discuss what they love about their city. Coming from the Chicago suburbs, the weather dierence is a given. But they also appreciate that there’s so much to do in Venice and so many good restaurants. “We like dierent restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner,†Bob said. As it was 9:30 a.m., they suggested Althea’s on Miami Avenue. Over a huge breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and two thick slices of French toast with warm syrup — all for less than $7 — they recalled their journey southward. The Piels rst discovered Venice on their honeymoon, when the area was still mostly farmland, Bob said. They began coming to Venice in 1990 as snowbirds with a condo on the beach. Beth taught kindergarten and rst grade in Chicago, so they came to Venice for a month in the summers. By 1999, they were living in Venice fulltime. They made friends and learned a lot about Venice and the surrounding areas by joining the Venice Newcomers Club and, later, the alumni version of the club. One of the rst things they did as full-time residents was join the Venice Yacht Club. “You don’t have to be a boater to join,†said Beth. She estimated that about a third of the members are boaters. Others belong to the club’s many special in terest clubs. Beth chairs the Gourmet Club, while Bob is chair of the Wine Club. The Gourmet Club sponsors themed dinners with each course accompanied by a dierent wine. Two years ago, Bob planned a trip to the Sonoma and Napa wine regions in California with 16 other members. He’s planning another trip for 2016, this time concentrating more on Napa wineries. The trip had the maximum number of travelers within 24 hours of its announcement. Like most people who “retire†to the area, the Piels aren’t at home sitting in their rocking chairs. A former banker in Chicago, Bob sold real estate here at rst. He began collecting autographed baseballs and turned the hobby into a business. He was on the board of the yacht club and rose from secretary to vice president and then to commodore in 2012. Beth now serves on the board but does not aspire to be commodore. Instead Beth keeps busy working for Sarasota County’s Child Protection Center. She started as a volunteer, overseeing the supervised visits between parents and children that are court-ordered due to abuse, neglect, incarceration, drugs and other reasons. In 2008, she took the job as Case Coordinator. Beth also has volunteered with youth through Take Stock in Children, Decisions to Win and Rotary Futures, which helps high school youth learn about careers, colleges and available scholarships. In her job, Beth sees families during dicult times. “We don’t always know about the success stories, because when they nish with their court-ordered visits we often don’t hear how their situation resolved,†Beth said. But she recalled the time a 2-year-old rounded the corner for her rst visit and exclaimed happily, “Mommy! You found me!†And that moment was a success for that little girl. Althea’s Restaurant has been a casual Venice venue for 19 years, said Greg Silvia, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Diane. They are especially known for their breakfasts and their lobster tail, sh and chips and chicken Parmesan. The restaurant is open from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. for breakfast, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch, and 4:30 to 8 p.m. for dinner every day except for Sunday evenings.
