Police bust

island crack

house

BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER

A daylight burglary gone
wrong led Venice police to a
crack house on the island.
The two burglars were so
startled when confronted by
the homeowner that they
dropped their loot and fled on
bicycles. Their trail soon led to
the crack house.
The burglary happened
about 3:30 p.m. July 29 in the
500 block of S. Park Blvd. The
drugg bust happened a short
time later at 384 Flamingo
Road.
Police arrested Jacob D.
Jenkins, 22; John C. Jeffrey, 30;
and Jonathan B. Risser, 24, all
of the Flamingo Road address.
Jeffrey and Jenkins were
charged with burglary. Risser
was charged with possession
of cocaine.

The city of Venice increased its water and sewer rates in June. The more water a household
uses, the greater the increase.


A computer glitch over-
charged a water and
sewer billing fee for
some customers, but
that's not all that's
catching their atten-
tion.
BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

The city of Venice payment
center was busier than usual
in July, partly because of a
new rate schedule, but partly
due to customer complaints
about being overcharged.
City officials are blaming a
computer glitch for charging
all its customers a $2.50
billing fee to cover postage
and handling of the bills.
The billing fee was mistak-
enly charged to customers
who have their bill paid by a
third party, like condo associ-
ations or apartment rental
management companies.
"It was due to a new billing
machine from Pitney Bowes.
We put in the new rates, and it


urged to notify the city just to
make sure it's corrected.
"We're doing everything
we can to identify those" who
were overcharged, Snyder
said.

Climate center says rainy season coming soon


BY GREG MARTIN
STAFF WRITER

The national Climate Pre-
diction Center has issued a
forecast calling for above-
normal rainfall for the re-
mainder of Southwest Flori-
da's four-month rainy season
- and that should quash a
yearlong drought.
But water supply officials,
wary of such an optimistic
prediction, aren't taking any
chances.
Officials from four area
counties and two regional
water management agencies
met recently to hash out a
contingency plan to continue
to meet water demands even
if the supply continues to
dwindle.
Even if the prediction
comes true, the Peace River/
Manasota Regional Water.
Supply Authority still will
be challenged to pump
enough water to refill its 600
million gallon reservoir and
1.2 billion-gallon under-
ground aquifer storage recov-
ery wells in the remainder of


the dry season.
Those reserves will be
needed to make it through
next.year's dry season.
Currently, the authority is
drawing water from both the
Peace River and its reservoir,
which has about 250 million
gallons.
The authority already has
more than depleted its
reserves in the ASR wells. The
authority has pumped some
44 million gallons more from
the wells than the authority
had stored in them, said Sam
Stone, the water authority's
environmental affairs coordi-
nator.
The -reserves are going
down at a time when the
authority is usually pumping
water from the Peace River
into them. But the authority is
limited to taking no more
than 10 percent of the flow of
the river, and, during low-
flow periods, that amount
is insufficient to meet the
authority's demand of about
17 million gallons per day,
Stone said.
This year's drought, which

dry or very dry, based on rainfall over the last year.


one water district official has
called "the most critical water
shortage in the state's histo-
ry," is coming just seven years
after another severe drought
in 2000701.'That one was
dubbed "'a once-in-100-years


drought."
The frequency has at least
some officials wondering if
global warming, or some
other atmospheric change,
may be turning 100-year
droughts into a trend.


"Certainly, globally, the cli-
mate change is a concern,"
said Pat Lehman, executive
director of the water authori-
ty. "I haven't been able to find
any forecasts for that. But
that's the question of the day."
The dryfacts
The drought began in
2006, during which the region
received 46 inches of rain,
down from the average of 52
inches. That put the region on"
par with the drought of 2000-
01. Only 32 inches of rain fell
in 2000 and 49 inches in 2001,
according to water authority
reports.
In the first six months of
2007, Southwest Florida re-
ceived a little more than 14
inches of rain, down from the
historical average of nearly 22
inches for that period.
During the first half of July,
the region received about 4
inches of rain, about half the
historical average.
' Aquifers in Southwest Flori-
da declined hall a foot in the
past week to a level 3 feet
below normal.


.At nearly two-thirds of
a series of 36 monitoring
wells in southern Florida,
the aquifers "have already
reached the lowest levels ever
recorded for this time of the
year," according to the U.S.
Geological Survey.
Ten days ago the Peace
River at Bartowwas flowing at
just 6 cubic feet per second.
That broke the previous
record set in 2000, when the
river's flow rate declined to 19
cubic feet per second. A nor-
mal flow for that segment this
time of year would be 186 cfs.
The river's flow was 168 cfs
measured at a gauge in
Arcadia. Its historical flow for
July is about 1,200 cfs, accord-
ing to the U.S.G.S.
And national forecasts
don't exactly have district offi-
cials sighing with relief.
"They've actually been pre-
dicting (higher-than-normal
rainfall and tropical storm
activity) for the past two
months," said Granville Kins-
man, hydrologic data mahag-

Some Sarasota County
School Board members are
changing their minds about
borrowing money for capital
projects.
In March, the board was
advised by its. Capital Adxis-
ory Task Force to borrow $180
million to fund capital pro-
'jects such as the Venice and
Booker high school rebuilds.
For the most part, the
board. members were in
agreement.
Now, however, a few of the
board members are more


hesitant to borrow the $180
million because of possible
changes in Florida law.
The super-homestead ex-
emption proposal is on the
Jan. 29, 2008, ballot. Accord-
ing to Al Weidner, deputy
chief financial officer for the
district, if Florida voters pass
the exemption, it could de-
crease the amount of money
for capital projects.
Ken Marsh, director of
long-range planning, said the
suggested $180 million to be
borrowed has increased to
$230 million, reflecting rising
construction costs and other
projects.


Marsh said at a recent cap-
ital workshop that the board
chose to postpone making a


KOVACH TODD


decision regarding borrowing
money until February 2008, at
.the earliest.


Board reaction
Board Chair Frank Kovach
said that before borrowing
money for capital projects, he
needs to look into whether an
adequate balance between
interest rates and construc-
tion costs could be obtained.
However, Kovach said the
district is in good shape to
borrow money if it needs to
because its debt service is
very low for the amount of
property the district owns.
Board Member Carol Todd
said the decision to hold off
borrowing money for capital

County looks to replace policy coordinator


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
The search is under way to
replace Sarasota County Crim-
inal Justice Policy Coordinator
James Schulz, who left his post
at the end of June.
"He's gone on to bigger and
better things," said Charles
"Chip" Taylor, county human
services manager. "I under-
stand he is going to finish his
doctorate. Hehad only the dis-


sertation to go."
Schulz's position is current-
ly filled on an interim basis by
Nancy Deloach. Deloach is the
county's contracted human
services program supervisor,
coordinating the grants-in-aid
program.
"We are wrapping up an
application process, and I've
got a stack of. about 60-70
applications," Taylor said. "The
intent is to interview at the end
of August and have somebody


on board hopefully not too
long after that."
Applicants need at least a
bachelor's degree and six years
of criminal justice experience.
The job description includes
acting as point person for the
county's new detention facility.
Applicants with knowledge
and experience in detention
facility design will have a
decided edge, Taylor said.
"We're also looking for
someone capable of doing leg-


islative and policy analysis,"
Taylor said. "That's because a
lot of the bills that show up in
the Legislature will impact on
the criminal justice system. So,
we do a lot of work analyzing
bills and giving advice to local
delegation members regarding
whether it would be good to
support or not support a bill, in
terms of how it would affect
the county."

While Sarasota County
builds a $157 million sewer
system and dismantles thou-
sands of septic tanks to keep
harmful pollution out of the
Sarasota Bay system, two old
sewer plants continue to
drain nutrient-loaded waste-
water into Phillippi Creek and
Matheny Creek.
In July, without any com-
ment, the county commis-
sion approved a deal with the
Florida Department of En-
vironmental Protection that
allows each of the plants to
keep discharging more than a
million gallons of treated
sewage a day until next June
30.
The county's Gulf Gate
plant treats up to 1.9 million
gallons of raw sewage a day
and discharges more than 1
million gallons of treated
wastewater into Matheny
Creek, which empties into
Roberts Bay just south of the
Stickney Point Road Bridge.
Not far away, the county's
South Gate plant treats up to
1.4 million gallons of sewage
a day and discharges more
than a million gallons of
wastewater into Phillippi
Creek, which also empties in-
to Roberts Bay about a mile


north of the bridge.
Both plants violate federal
pollution standards for chronic
toxicity discharges into sur-
face waters, but they are al-
lowed to operate under a
state consent order negotiat-
ed with the former utility
holding company that sold
them to the county.
Behind schedule
When the county acquired
the two plants in 2004, it was
with the understanding they
would be shut down and dis-
mantled no later than this
autumn.
The July 10 deal with state
environmental regulators al-
lows the county to keep oper-
ating them through next June.
The justification for allow-
ing illegal discharges to con-
tinue is that an $11 million
Central County Water Recla-
mation Facility expansion
project is behind schedule be-
cause the understaffed state
agency was unable to issue
permits in a timely fashion. ,
"By August of next year we
have to abandon these plants
and no longer accept any
(sewage) flow," said Vern Hall,
a county utility manager. "We
have to disconnect the power
and stop the chemical feed.
Once these facilities are off
line, all the discharge prob-


lems go away."
When that time comes,
sewage pumped to the two
old plants will be diverted to
the expanded water reclama-
tion facility.
"It won't cost a significant
amount of money to decom-
mission the plants," Hall said.
"Then we'll clean out tanks
and auction off the property."
Both plants were part of a
$21.7 million acquisition that
brought private utilities for-
merly operated by the Florida
Cities Water Co. and owned
by Avatar Holdings Utilities
into county ownership. They
were briefly held by a Florida
Government Utilities Author-
ity.
A stipulation in the pur-
chase agreement required the
county to abide by a consent
order negotiated between the
Department of Environment-
al Regulation and the utilities
authority that stemmed from
illegal discharges, at the Gulf
Gate plant.
Severn-Trent, a contractor
temporarily employed by the
utilities authority to operate
the plant, was cited for dis-
charges into Matheny Creek
and Little Sarasota Bay. The
state approved a consent
order that included a remedi-
ation plan and $140,000 in
fines.

Chamber Wants to Keep Special Interest's Hands Off Florida


The Venice Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Florida Chamber of
Commerce, is working to provide the public with information regarding
the grass roots"Hometown Democracy"movement.The Chamber believes
this statewide "Vote on Everything" initiative is a grave threat to Florida's
future. Despite recent changes that require voter approval to alter the
Florida Constitution,another irresponsible amendment is being promoted
by extreme special interests. The so-called "Hometown Democracy"
amendment, a statewide"Vote on Everything" initiative, would imperil
Florida's prosperity and quality of life.

The proposed amendment- requiring that all local comprehensive land
use plan changes meetvoterapproval -subverts a well-established,open,
accessible and democratic planning process.With the Vote on Everything
amendment, citizens, not the representatives they elected, are forced to
regularly decide thousands of intricate land-use planning issues.

Much is at Stake for All Businesses and Families in the State of Florida
*The DISRUPTION to Local Communities and the Daily Lives of Floridians
will be Extraordinary. Cities and counties will be required to hold elec-
tions for each proposed comprehensive plan change not just major
projects, but even minor technical details. It will not be unusual for the
voters to have to decide on 200 to 300.comprehensive plan changes ev-
eryyear.In the lastfouryears alone,this amendmentwould have required
an average of over 10,599 additional local referenda per year in Florida. In
fact, in 2006 alone in Carrabelle, a small town in Franklin County, voters
would have decided 840 separate ballot questions.

*The DISORDER will Further Disenfranchise Florida's Already-Fatigued Elec-
torate.Voters will be deluged with highly technical background materials
prepared bythe local government planning staff.The legalese of proposed


comprehensive plan ch
often puzzling for ex
engineers and attorn
will further dampen vo
turnout. Lines at votin
booths will grow as
Floridians attemptthe
virtual impossibility
of voting on hun-
dreds of separate and
often confusing ball
questions.

* The COST will be Astronomi-
caLEvery city and county in Florida will
be burdened with the time and cost of holding additional elections to
vote on proposed changes to comprehensive land use plans. Each of these
elections will be costly, and local taxpayers will have to pay the bills.

* The RESULT will be a System That is Far Worse, Not Better.That's why re-
spected environmental leaders refuse to support the amendment. They
know this amendmentwill not puta stop to all development, butwill make
well-planned, smarter growth impossible thereby encouraging sprawl
that reduces green space and makes effective growth management
unachievable.

Medical facilities in North Port's future


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

When entrepreneur Daniel
Ezelle achieves his goal of
opening emergency room
facilities in North Port next
summer, residents, visitors
and accident victims can look
forward to speedier on-site
services instead of being
transported to Port Charlotte
or Venice.
"I can confirm North Port
residents will have a free-
standing emergency room
center," said Deborah Taylor,
director of business develop-
ment for Sarasota Memorial
Hospital.
It will be part of North Port
Regional Medical Center, a
75,000-square-foot building
to be constructed by Bobcat
Professional Center LLC on
Toledo Blade Boulevard in
North Port.
The hospital board has
submitted to the state a letter
of intent to put a free-stand-
ing emergency room on site.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital is
grandfathered to proceed
with this specific facility as
one of only three similar ar-
rangements within the state,
said Taylor.
North Port is lacking in
medical services and has
been designated by the U.S.
Department of Health &
Human Services as a med-
ically underserved area. The
project follows a two-year
planning partnership be-
tween local medical practi-
tioner Dr. Lee Gross and
Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
"A free-standing emer-
gency room is critical to our
community, since we were
denied a hospital," said Gross.
"An OB-GYN or a pediatrician
is needed to serve the 9,000
children in North Port. We
intend to bring these much
needed services into this
community."
Spearheading the develop-
ment is Ezelle, president of
Kesselring Corporation, ridch,i
with Gross, is the owner of
Bobcat Professional Center
LLC.
"North Port Regional Med-
ical Center is an $18 million-
$20 million project which will
have 30 doctors with 100
employees," said Ezelle.
Kesselring Corp. is current-
ly starting construction of the
Metro Medical Plaza in Fort
Myers.
Phase one
State-of-the-art North Port
Regional Medical Center has
been designed to create a dis-
tinctive architectural identity.
It features a covered drop-off


area leading to a spacious
lobby with two hospital-style
elevators providing conve-
nient access to all floors of the
building.
Parking will include 350
spaces for doctors, patients
and visitors. A major artery to
Interstate 75, Toledo Blade
Boulevard, is scheduled to be
widened to four lanes this
year.
The emergency room, fi-
nanced by Sarasota Memorial
Hospital, will occupy the first
floor with a footprint of
25,000 square feet. A walk-in
urgent-care center and well-
established primary care
group will provide a variety of
medical practices and ser-
vices.
On the second floor Gross
and colleagues are taking
8,000 square feet for offices.
"Pediatrics is a priority for
North Port, and there will be
two doctors together with
pediatric therapy facilities,"
said Ezelle.
Ancillary medical services
will include laboratories and
testing; a diagnostic imaging
center; and nuclear and vas-
cular medicine facilities.
The third floor will house
North Port Networks, owned
by Ezelle, a fast-expanding
cable network service that
will eventually provide tele-
phone and Internet services
throughout the city and sur-
rounding Sarasota County.
"There are 55,000 residents
in Sarasota with 200 doctors
compared to 50,000 North
Port residents with eight doc-
tors," said Ezelle. "Working
with Dr. Lee Gross, I realized
the need for local services,
particularly for the 9,000 chil-
dren in the city. Sarasota
Memorial Hospital's partner-
ship with All Children's Hos-
pital is a natural partner for us
in this project."
Summit Smith. Healthcare
Facilities, based in Milwau-
kee, specializes in hospital,
ER and medical facility con-
struction throughout ,North
America. It's working with
Ezelle on the concrete and
steel for the building.
"Local subcontractors and
tradesmen in North Port will
complete North Port Regional
Medical Center," said Ezelle.
He said the city of North
Port has granted the develop-
ment order, and architects are
95 percent done with the
designs; with the approval of
the SMH Board in early Sep-
tember, construction should
begin in October.
"My goal is to complete
this project in the summer of
2008," said Ezelle.

Approaches have been made
by banks and restaurants for
the two 3-acre parcels adjoin-

CLIMATE-, 1A
er for the water authority. 'As
you know, to date, there is still
nothing out there."
Yet much of Florida has
already begun to experience
normal or above-normal rain-
fall, according to.
However, when LeComte
checked data on Southwest
Florida's rainfall, he noticed
what climate scientists call a
"significant departure."
"Looking at that dry strip
makes you wonder if some-
thing is going on that is
putting a damper on the
thunderstorms in Southwest
Florida," he said.


"Looking at that dry strip makes you wonder if
something is going on that is putting a damper
on the thunderstorms in Southwest Florida."
- Douglas LeComte, drought specialist for
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's Climate Prediction Center


The climate center first
forecast above-normal rain-
fall a few months ago. The
forecast missed the mark
because an El Niflo cycle,
which is a warming trend in
the southern Pacific Ocean,
didn't evolve into a La Nifia
cycle, which is a cooling


trend. That left the climate "in
neutral," according to center
forecasts.
Once La Nifia kicks in,
however, Florida's dry season
should be drier than normal,
LeComte said.
Stone said this summer's
drought reminds him of 2000


and 2006. Those droughts
also crimped the authority's
ability to restock supplies.
Drafting a plan
Authority staffers, during
their meeting Friday, re-
viewed existing pipeline con-
nections between various
cities and counties in the
region. One option calls for
Manatee County to pump
water to Sarasota County.
That would allow Sarasota to
cut back its withdrawals from
the Peace River, Lehman said.
The authority, which typi-
cally relies on the Peace River
for its supply, is considering
using monitoring wells to


extract water for emergency
supplies, Lehman said.
Also under discussion are
options for installing treat-
ment equipment to "soften"
raw groundwater, which is
naturally high in dissolved
minerals and salts, he said.
"The point is that we are
not going to be out of water,"
said Mike Coates, authority
engineer. "We are certainly
not out of options. We have
quite a few more options to
get more water into the sys-
tem, and we are beginning to
move forward on all of them."
The 16-county Southwest
Florida Water Management
District placed the region on


"modified Phase 2" water
restrictions in January.
The restrictions limit
lawn watering to one day
per week. Farms and golf
courses must limit pumping
to amounts allowed under
the drought conditions in
their permits.
Those restrictions were
set to expire July 31. But,
under the circumstances,
the district's staff is recom-
mending the board not
allow that, Kinsman said.
In fact, unless above-nor-
mal rainfall returns, the board
may be asked to implement
more restrictions in the
future, he said.


UTILITY F. lA


comment was received.
The new rates went into
effect in July, and now that
customers are receiving their
new bill, it's a different story.
Venice resident Barbara
McDermott said she was
stunned at the new rates.
"I just took over paying
water bills for this condo in
town, and I am absolutely
shocked at these charges,"
she said. "Something is wrong
here." .
McDermott, ;who handles
utility payments for Park Vale
East Condominiums, is un-
happy with more than just
the higher rates.
.She points to what she
called "discrepancies," like
charging individual condo
owners at the highest water-
usage rate, and charging mul-
tiple units for a single back-
flow preventer.
"Why should a resident
who lives in a condominium
pay a higher rate for water
than a person living in a
house?" she asked.
One of the buildings she
handles is unoccupied.
"Their bill will be $400 a
month, even with no water or
sewer usage, because of all
the base rate increases and
fees they added on," she said.
When she visited the pay-
ment counter at city hall to
ask why the city was demand-
,pg p "power use" charge, this
is1 what transplred2' st*'s-id!'
"A very nice woman at the
counter responded,. 'Well,
FPL does it.'"
"Does that mean the city
can do it?" McDermott said.
She isn't against the idea of
increasing the charge for
water based on usage.
In fact, she said, they city
didn't do enough to discour-
age water usage. Instead of
increasing the base fee and
adding other special fees, she
would have rather seen the
consumption fee changed.


As far as she's concerned,
the new rates are having the
opposite affect.

Snyder said.
Just a tax
The program costs approx-
imately $300,000, which will
be recaptured by the $1.97
per unit per month fee,
Snyder said.
But O'Connell said the
money raised by the program
will far exceed the cost of the
program. Just charging for the
estimated 11,000 backflow
devices would raise the
$300,000.. The fees covers
more users.
He estimates the revenue
generated could be more
. than $200,000 more than the
program's cost.

really unfair. It penalizes peo-
ple like me (who provide)
affordable housing," he said.
"I think it was more a
fundraising effort, but don't
call it a user fee when-it's just
a tax."
Playing catch up
Snyder said the budget was
based on 12,500 users, and
wouldn't bring in nearly the
amount O'Connell quoted.
But overall, the rates are
expected to bring in an addi-
tional,$1.5 million over last
year, Snyder said.
It was in response to last
year's power cost increases,
when the city lost $1.2 mil-
lion, he said.
"That's why this is a critical
change. We held our rates too
low for too long," Snyder said.
Even after the increased
rate, Venice's combined water
and sewer bills are less than
those of Sarasota and Char-
lotte counties, and the city of,
North Port.

take-down of the suspects
and the crack house.
About face
According to the police
report, a homeowner con-
fronted the burglary suspects
as they were carrying stolen
goods from his home. They
were so scared they dropped
the items and rode away on
bicycles.
Police immediately set up
a perimeter around the
neighborhood.
Meanwhile, Sgt. Eric Hill
talked with people in the area.
Hill saw a pick-up truck dri-
ving in his direction. When
the truck driver spotted Hill's
marked patrol car, he quickly
turned and headed in the
opposite direction.
Hill followed the truck. The
truck pulled into the driveway
at 384 Flamingo Road. Risser
got out qf the truck.
Hill said Risser appeared
nervous. Hill suspected he


was suffering from drug
abuse.
Risser had drug parapher-
nalia and five pieces of crack
cocaine on him.
Drug sales
Hill asked Risser if anyone
else was in the house. Risser
said there was. He described
two men who matched the
description of the two bur-
glars.
Police surrounded the
house.
First Jenkins, then Jeffrey
came out.
Both men admitted bur-
glarizing the home on S. Park
Blvd.
They also told investiga-
tors they were selling $800
worth of crack cocaine every
day ($5,600 per week) from
the house.

Fundraiser saves Web journalist


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

When the attorney of
Venice Web journalist John
Patten failed to turn over sub-
poenaed documents in
a timely manner to former
city manager George Hunt's
attorney, Patten was fined
$2,212.50.
Patten had 30 days to pay
up or possibly resort to blast-
ing city officials from behind
bars.
Not lacking in creativity,
Patten did what he does best.
He went online for help.
He put up a plea for finan-
cial help on his Web site, com-
plete with PayPal that accepts
credit cards..
Within a week he reached
his goal, and then some.
Three donations of $500
took care of most of it. In all,
27 donations were received
raising $2,568.95 as of July 10,
according to his Web site,
veniceflorida.com.
He's using the extra funds
to help pay off $500 he owed
his previous attorney, he said.
A third of the donations
came from outside Venice, he

said: Some came from over-
seas.
Patten, whose satirical and
often critical coverage of city
affairs has created a follow-
ing, is fighting a lawsuit by
former Venice city manager
George Hunt.
Hunt claims Patten active-
ly undermined his efforts to
find a job elsewhere, a claim
Patten denies.
Hunt reportedly offered
Patten one of those "until-


hell-freezes-over" settlement
agreements: Give me owner-
ship of the domain name and
I'll drop the lawsuit.
Patten, of course, would
rather freeze in hell than give
in.
He's documented the
whole affair on his Web site,
including court records and
related stories that chronicle
"the weirdfest."

Residents want answers to
questions such as, how are
my property taxes calculated?
What services are paid for by
my property taxes? What does
"ad valorem" mean? What is
the, difference between a
"capital budget" and an
"operating budget?"
Answers to these types'of
questions are available on the
"Your Budget Guide" Web site
by clicking the budget link on
scgov.net.
Citizens are invited to
attend a series of budget
workshops as part of the fiscal
year 2008 budget process. The
commissioners will discuss
budget priorities in anticipa-
tion of possible revenue
reductions mandated by the
Legislature.
"Your Budget Guide" has

Comment on plans online
Sarasota County has an
online survey available on its
Web site for residents to
weigh in on a draft conceptu-
al plan for providing access to
publicly owned natural areas.
The survey will allow peo-
ple to express what's most
important to them in a variety
of areas, from their areas of
interest to what amenities
they would like provided.
"We've already presented
the plan at two rounds of
public meetings," said Public
Use Coordinator Brie Onder-
cin. "What we want now is to
broaden that audience so that
everyone living in or visiting
Sarasota County can tell us
how they feel about access to
our public lands."
Ondercin said the county
is seeking specific input
about the types of natural
areas residents want and how
these natural areas can be
used to their fullest potential.
To access the survey, visit
scgov.net and click on the link
for Environmental Issues.

tors: the Jan. 29 vote; the com-
pletion of the master plans
for VHS and Booker; and
whether square footage for
future classrooms can be
shaved to accommodate the
class-size amendment.
According to Todd, class-
rooms in Sarasota County are


necessary because there are
projects, like VHS, that have
to be done.
"What's the point of having
a great credit rating if we can't
borrow," Kleinlein said. "We
don't have to borrow big."
However, she added certain
projects need to be under
way..
Board Member Caroline
Zucker said she is nervous
about borrowing the money
because of the impending


Jan. 29 vote.
Board Member Shirley
Brown agreed with Zucker
and wants to acquire more
data to show how the vote
would affect Sarasota County.
VHS
Zucker and Kovach agree
something needs to be done
as soon as possible with VHS.
"We can't wait until we can
pay cash," Kovach said.
"We have to do something


about Venice High," Zucker
said.
Zucker and Kovach both
said they would consider bor-
rowing money to finance the
project, but neither wants to
borrow the full $180 million
the task force advised.
Brown said projects like
VHS might need to be pushed
*back if the -super-homestead
exemption proposal passes.
Todd said she could not
make a decision about VHS


until the data
from the map-
ter plan had
been present-
ed.
According
to Marsh, the
master plan
forVHS is cur-
rently being BROWN
drawn up and
is expected to
be completed this fall. The
district will not be able to


determine how much it will
cost to rebuild VHS until the
plan is complete.
As far as the recent search
for alternative locations for
VHS, Kovach said the search
was required as a part of the
interlocal agreement.
"I'm firmly convinced the
island is where it (VHS) needs
to be," said Kovach.

Todd said she would not

must proceed in the most fru-
gal way possible.

Funding fairness is first issue with new jail


sometime in the near future, Sarasota
County will need an expensive new.
jail, which may be built in South
County.
Everyone seems to agree on that.
The first big question is how to pay for it.
That issue surfaced in the past few
months as Sarasota County commissioners
floated a trial balloon aimed at broadening
the base for funding jail construction. It
turned out to be filled with lead.
Commissioners sent letters to the cities
asking if a portion of the money they receive
from the 1-cent sales tax might be used for
jail construction.
That went over like the aforementioned
balloon.
The 1-cent county surtax on the sales tax
expires in 2009, and plans are under way for


a vote on an extension. The cities receive a
bit of it and use the money for local projects
that enhance infrastructure; the county also
gets a cut and does the same.
If the county had to use the money for
the pricey jail right now in the mid-$50-
million range it would have a lot less
money for other projects. If the cities were
to allocate some of their portion for a jail,
they'd have less for other things, too.
So the cities said, in varying levels of
politeness, no thanks.
North Port commissioners expressed
some outrage, contending the move was
somewhat slippery. In Venice, the request
also was rejected; at least, the city bothered
to send a reply.
City Manager Marty Black said city offi-
cials were put off to some degree by the way


the county approached them.
But, he said, "We understand' there are
demands Venice puts on a criminal justice
system" and the city was willing to con-
tribute its fair share.
The penny tax idea just didn't fly. The citi-
zens oversight committee already had been
working on a list of capital projects, what
Black said were "niceties."
He said, "It said the penny sales tax is for
things we normally wouldn't be able to
afford, not the basic necessities."
Which seems fair enough. Besides, both
North Port and Venice pointed out, it is ulti-
mately the county's responsibility to build
the jail, and citizens in North Port and
Venice also pay the penny when purchasing
goods.
But the problem using the tax money for


the big-ticket jail means less money will be
available for "niceties" in the unincorporat-
ed areas of the county. That may be new
parks in South Venice or road improve-
ments in Osprey.
And that places an unfair burden on the
unincorporated areas.
County Commissioner Paul Mercier also
noted it would be more of a burden for all to
build a jail with property taxes, since
tourists contribute to sales tax revenues.
Commissioners last week began juggling
funding possibilities involving impact fees,
the surtax, bonding and property taxes.
All this while Florida voters will decide
whether to change the property tax exemp-
tion mechanism in January and a looming
legislative session that promises more pres-
sure on local governments' tax money.

City water bill increase outrageous


Editor:
Yesterday I opened my mail from the city and almost went
into complete and total shock: My water bill went up about 38
percent!
Water is the largest expense of my business, but it applies to
all who use city water.
It seems city council met and approved this outlandish
increase. I wonder how many citizens at those afternoon meet-
ings knew of the size of this increase, its justification and the
impact it would have on local business and people in the city.
Looking back on my bills, yes, there was a notice, but no
indicatiori of the amount planned, and who looks at these
innocent-looking messages anyway? A separate piece of paper
with the bill outlining the requested increase would certainly
have caught my eye.
In business, a CEO would lose his job and business if he
asked his customers to pay 38 percent more for his goods. The
same should happen for the council'members who voted for
this increase.
Who wants to join in a class-action suit to correct this
increase?

How dry we are
Editor:
Sustainability is not sus-
tainable.
Average water use runs
from a low of about 400 to
around 700 gallons per
month per residence.
In the Monday, July 30, edi-
tion, Venice section, of the
Herald-Tribune it was report-
ed that Charlotte County
building projects are waiting
for housing recovery. All well
and good that there are con-
tinuing plans of some sort.
There are projects of 3,600,
1,800, and more new resi-
dences planned, including
the ones already under way
but not built yet, of let's say
another 5,600 for a total of
11,000 new homes.
Using that 400-700 gallons
and considering the drought,
make an average of about 500
gallons per month 500
times 12 equals 6,000; then
6,000 times 11,000 equals


66,000,000 gallons per year.
Last year we were some 20
inches short; now we are run-
ning a 12 inch-plus shortage
on rainfall.
From all information avail-
able, there is no law, rule or
regulation stipulating any
kind of a reserve of water for
the people already here. We
are under severe water
restrictions now during the
"rainy" season, and yet the
building continues.
What is the problem? It
doesn't take a rocket scientist
to figure out that the state of
Florida has pretty much
reached its limits, does it?
I strongly suggest that
those in charge make some
sort of effort to intelligently
address this very simple yet
absolute problem.
North Port told a prospec-
tive builder to show it the
water supply first. We need

Do you believe the airport propaganda?


HERB LEVINE
GUEST COLUMNIST


How many times do we
have to tell the city big shots
that we don't want or need
any major changes to our air-
port, municipal golf course or
Venetian Waterway Park,
which contain significant
wildlife, including several
threatened species?
Preserving the above is of


more value than another
marina, restaurant and Dis-
neyland II except to the
CQG&TPBA (Citizens for
Quality Government & Their
Personal Bank Accounts).
There are currently seven
marina facilities in Venice and
several more just minutes
away.
A marina at the airport is
pure folly. Their propaganda
machine now says they will
only allow little, tiny boats
into the proposed marina so
that bridge openings will be
minimized. Baloney!
They won't stop 10, 20 or
50 sailboats from docking for
lunch or dinner, and the
bridge will keep right on
opening and closing.
There are better locations
for marinas that are far less
harmful to our environment.


Preserving the natural habitat
along the trail and as an area
for festivals will benefit the
members of our community
but not the members of the
Money Gang.
Last year's Airport Master
Plan Commerce Study, paid
for by the city, stated that this
area could only absorb or
support 200 new hotel rooms.
The city recently approved a
165-room hotel one block
from the airport and a 290-
room condo hotel on Tampa
Avenue. According to that
professional study, additional
hotel rooms will not be sup-
portable unless the city
can bring in thousands and
thousands of tourists with
something like a Disneyland
II.
Think about all of those
cars and all of the traffic jams


- but the city says it will put
in another road into the air-
port so that we all of us res-
idents won't be bothered
by the new traffic. Great, but
will they put gates all over the
the city so all of those tourists
can't drive through the rest of
the city?
How about extra police to
chase and lock up the tourists
who avoid the gates and drive
through Venice? I think not.
Some of the city people are
now talking about creating
jobs and needed revenue for
businesses within the city.
Those city people must have
forgotten that hotels, marinas
and wonderlands do not pro-
vide skilled jobs with good
benefits.
There aren't too many peo-
ple in the city to fill those jobs
because they can't afford to


live here and would have to
commute many miles. As far
as more revenue for Venice's
business section, maybe they
ought to stay open later.
Even though the city has
come up with some strange
airport figures as to "maybe
and possibly needed" future
funds, the airport does not
need any money.
The city has come up with
a future expensive list of
things that a larger airport,
catering to larger airplanes,
will need, so it wants to put in
more and bigger airplanes to
pay for the change. Hmmm.
Hangar rents are less than
half of what is being charged
at similar airports such as
Pompano Beach. Proper
rents will bring substantially
greater revenue to the airport.
Not too long ago, our city


manager notified council that
a substantial 70-percent
majority of our citizens were
against their plans, starting
with the airport, to drastically
change Venice. It must have
frightened council because
they backed off- temporari-
ly. But they went to work on
the their favorite project -
propaganda production,
They have even used the
city newsletter the one
paid for by us trying to
convince us that Disneyland
II is good for us. Maybe the
last city tax reduction might
even be used as an airport lol-
lipop.
Developers or lawyers are
not the problem. The people
who do their bidding certain-
ly appear to be exactly that.

Fountain detractor is all wet


Best thing. I'm calling about the fountain in Venice. No way
'should that fountain be closed. It's the best thing this city has
done for children. They are enjoying it so much. And beyond the
children enjoying it, adults go down there just to watch the chil-
dren be happy and laugh. It's a wonderful thing for Venice to
have. If you want to save some water, have people shut off their
sprinklers when it's raining. Or how about the golf courses? They
water their greens. New developments are putting in sod during
a drought. Maybe they should think about planting something
other than sod that doesn't need to be watered all the time. Keep
that fountain. It's the best thing Venice has done in a long time.


Not their job. I'm calling on
a follow-up on your Let'em
Have It under the title "For
Rent." Obviously we have a
local idiot who does not
understand the duties of our
city council or the duties of
our city manager. One duty
they do not have is to keep the
downtown viable. Council's
joy is to set policy. The man-
agr's job, other dian manag-
irg a number of the depart-'
ments and personnel, is to
carry those policies out in a
good and ethical way. It is not
to keep downtown viable. The
city has pitched in to aid in
that, though, at some times'
with questionable taxpayer's
expenditures for instance,
bailing out the downtown
merchants on their obligation
to build that youth fountain,
which has turned out to be
one of the most successful
and best projects ever under-
taken by the city. It is great to
see the kids and the young
families .enjoying that foun-
tain, especially during these
hot, hot days. I smile every
day that I. drive by there just
seeing the fun and joy that it's
brought, but it's brought peo-
ple downtown to Venice. But
it's above and beyond the
duty of the city to bail out that
financial obligation of the
downtown merchants that
they had promised to do. .I
wish these people would give
their names so we would
know when we are confront-
ed with these local idiots and
could avoid them or help
them along the way.
Pick them. People who, call
in about weeds on the bridges
should go out and start pick-
ing them themselves. It's
ridiculous. I mean, whoever
eyeballs it should do some-
thing about it. That's how I
feel. If you're tired of it, go out
and do it yourself. It wouldn't
hurt.

much for it. It is absolutely

keep it. Don't let this town

Nice to see. I just want to
say that the fountain is a nice
addition to the city of Venice.
We drove by the other day and
it was nice to see all the chil-
dren enjoying themselves.
They were having a birthday
party and running through
the water. It's nice to see
younger people instead of a

Fantastic. This is about the
downtown children's foun-
tain. It is one of the most fan-
tastic new additions that the
city of Venice has done. In
i regards to wasting water'I see
thousands of gallons of water
in the communities, private
residences and the business
with their excessive watering,
especially during rainy sea-
son. The children need some
place to play. The fountain
aesthetically is gorgeous and
the children's laughter and
smiles just adds to it. Life is an
accident waiting to happen. It
doesn't stop us from garden-
ing, mowing our lawns, going
bowling, eating out or driving
our cars. It shouldn't be a rea-
son to stop the water park.
People have a chance to sit
and meet there and enjoy
both the beauty of the foun-
tain and the beauty of the
children.

They are so right. Today's

sellers would be to take their
property off the market and
go fishing. He's right if you
are a seller who has a lot of

Tug-of-war over trees reflects county policy divide


BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS


A public tug-of-war over
how much money Sarasota
County should invest in pro-
grams to plant trees and
rebuild its urban forest after
decades of development has
erupted in recent exchanges
between commissioners who
strongly support them and
administrators who don't.
On June 26, a debate about
which division of county gov-
ernment should be in charge
of tree programs and whether
trees rise to the importance of
infrastructure items such as
curbs, gutters, roads and
sidewalks reflected where the
opposing sides differ.
"I'm ready for a full-blown
discussion with staff about
our tree and urban forest ini-
tiative," Commissioner Jon
Thaxton said. "I want to make
sure the relationship between
this board, different (county)
departments. and the com-


munity is on the table."
When pressed for details,
Thaxton questioned whether
the forestry division could
achieve the commission's ur-
ban forest goals under the di-
rection of public works officials.
"Can part of the discussion
be whether (forestry) is hous-
ed under environmental ser-
vices or public works?" he
asked.

Budgeting less
Thaxton's request was sup-
ported by Commissioners Nora
Patterson and Joe Barbetta.
"I get the impression from
listening to advisory commit-
tee conversations that we
keep planting trees and we're
not budgeting enough dollars
to take care of them," Pat-
terson said.
When County Adminis-
trator Jim Ley retorted, 'And
we're going to budget less,"
Patterson quickly shot back,
"Right. I'm not sure we can
afford to be budgeting less. So


when you bring us the discus-
sion, that's what we need to
talk about."
"Oh, it will be," Ley prom-
ised. "I don't understand what
the (argument) is about, but
we'll certainly be glad to bring
this back."
Then he launched into his
perception of what an ap-
pointed citizen advisory
committee's role should be in
forestry operations.
"You have a street tree pro-
gram and a street tree adviso-
ry committee," he said. 'And
you also have land develop-
ment regulations that deal
with tree preservation, tree
replacement, and not yet
- tree management on pri-
vate property."

Three laws
Ley was half right. There
hasn't been a Street Tree
Advisory Committee since
2001, but thousands of street
trees .were planted under the
guidance of one. It was


renamed the Tree Advisory
Committee six years ago and
assigned additional duties by
the county commission.
The committee now advis-
es the county commission
about all ordinances that reg-
ulate the planting and main-
tenance of trees. They include
the following: 1) Canopy Road
Ordinance; 2) Tree Protection
Ordinance; 3) Street Tree
Protection Ordinance; and 4)
Zoning Ordinance.
As a result, county employ-
ees from the public works
and natural resources divi-
sions routinely attend the
committee's monthly meet-
ings, while other divisions are
periodically represented if
issues are scheduled that per-
tain to them.
In 2003, a satellite imagery
analysis conducted at the
committee's request indicat-
ed there are about 2 million
trees in the county. It also
showed broad areas where
tree planting programs could


replace canopy lost over dec-
ades of development.

Conflicts
The committee consults
with county employees about
technical matters, but its rec-
ommendations about tree
policies and programs are
made directly to the county
commission. Sometimes they
conflict with administration
objectives.
Ley admitted as much.
"You have issues associat-
ed with your environmental
lands and other resources
that involve trees," he said. "I
don't know whether this com-
mittee is looking to get fur-
ther into those issues, or
what, but staff seems to be
fairly well lock-stepped."
Patterson took note, and
when the discussion turned
to money for the mainte-
nance of stormwater facilities
she said, "There are some
things that are discretionary.
Taking care of infrastructure


isn't. And by the way, that
includes street trees."
In addition to about 17,000
trees planted along rights of
way by the county, an addi-
tional 40,000 have naturally
grown up there; approxi-
mately 150,000 more trees are
in public parks. Forestry divi-
sion arborists maintain street
trees, but park trees don't
receive routine care.
No date has been set for
the discussion about tree pro-
grams and maintenance, but
the commission's intent ap-
pears clear. It has allocated
$9.8 million to plant more
street trees if the 1-percent
local-option sales tax is ex-
tended through the year 2024.
No date has been set for a
countywide referendum on
whether to extend the tax for
15 years after it expires in
2009. Ballot language must be
submitted to Supervisor of
Elections Kathy Dent's office
by mid-September if it is to be
on the Nov. 6 ballot.


Bird Islands restoration project is finally funded


BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS

A long-stalled project to
buffer the BirdColony Islands
in Roberts Bay from damag-
ing powerboat wakes with a.
1,300-foot stone breakwater
has finally been allocated
enough money to employ a
marine contractor and get
started.
Plans for a series of spoil
island projects in Sarasota
County bays have been pub-
licly discussed for a decade,
but delayed and shelved by a
combination of resistance


from residents who don't want
exotic species such as Aus-
tralian pine trees removed, and
the absence of money.
The county commission
has agreed to pay Marine
Contracting Group out of
Punta Gorda $989,721 for
building the breakwater.
Terms of the deal call for work
to be complete before the end
of this year.
A brief report written by
countyproject managers states
the islands just south of the
Siesta Drive Bridge "are the
most important wading bird
and brown pelican colonies in


the Sarasota Bay system."
An estimated 400 pairs of
at least 11 bird species have
been identified there.

In the wake
Because of their proximity
to the Intracoastal Waterway,
the islands have been dam-
aged by large boat wakes.
When the waterway was
dredged through Sarasota
Bay and Little Sarasota Bay in
the 1960s, it increased both
the number and size of boats
that pass by them.
The contractor will build a
1,300-foot breakwater of


limestone boulders just west
of the islands and wrap it
around both the north and
south ends.
When completed, it will
break up potentially damag-
ing waves before they wash
across the islands.
It is anticipated by marine
experts who designed the
breakwater that it will help
create a quiet, shallow area
east of the islands for sea
grasses to expand, and the
exchange of water through
the rocks will attract shellfish
species such as oysters.
The National Audubon So-


city manages the rookery as
part of its Florida Cbastal Is-
lands Sanctuaries system; it
lists the brown pelican, snowy
egret, little blue heron, tri-col-
ored heron, American oyster-
catcher, reddish egret, dou-
ble-crested cormorant, great
egret, cattle egret and black-
crowned night heron among
the inhabitants.
To help pay for the work,
the county received $407,567
from the Southwest Florida
Water Management District,
$297,077 from the Jackson-
ville Community Foundation
and 291,077 from the Pollu-


tion Recovery Trust Fund.
Work on a series of spoil
island restoration projects
was shelved in 1999 when
Siesta Key residents and oth-
ers protested plans for Big
Edwards Island, Little Ed-
wards Island and Skiers Is-
land because they would
have included the removal of
Australian pine trees.
The Bird Colony Islands
project is part of a scaled-back
plan that may someday in-
clude ecosystem repairs to the
Jim Neville Marine Preserve
near the south end of Siesta
Key and Palmer Point Park.

City at checkmate over checkerboards


These two checkerboards are the only ones out of eight at the new beach.pavilion at Brohard
Park that is correct, with the lower right-hand corner in red.

The lower right-hand corner of this checkerboard is black, and the way the seats are cemented

BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER
The new Brohard Park
pavilion by Sharky's was
opened to the public in July. It
has a veranda, bathrooms
and eight tile checkerboards
cemented into tables with
benches.
Sound like an idyllic place
to have a restful day testing
your game? Well, if you are a
serious player, you may have


a problem with the way the
boards were set up.
"Only two of the eight
checkerboards are correct,"
said Charles Shoup of Venice.
Shoup said that if anyone
knows anything about check-
ers, the lower right-hand cor-
ner of the board must be a
light color.
In the game of chess both
players should see a red&
square, (or white if it is a black
and white board) in the right


corner, he said.
It may matter to purists,
but the city isn't very con-
cerned about the mistake.
"I don't see how this is such
a big deal," said Larry Heath,
director of public works. '"Are
we going to have a checkers
tournament in Venice?"
Heath agreed there is a
flaw in the way the tables
were installed. He said if the
city doesn't get around to
turning the tables, then they


"Only two of the eight
checkerboards are cor-
rect."

might have to
for awhile.


stay that way


Rushed
The tables were purchased
from White Cement Special-
ities of Venice. The company
donated the largest table,
with a double checkerboard
- the only one that is correct.
Larry Milford of White'
Cement said that his compa-
ny rushed to get the tables
installed for the Fourth of July.
Because of the rush, they
were installed incorrectly.
"We will fix it," he said.


White Cement gave the
city a very good price on the
tables with the checkerboard
tile tops and even made one
table handicap accessible, he
said.
"We want this corrected
because we are part of this
community and love to see
our work around town," said
Milford.

Shamrock Park garden takes wing


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER


Volunteers transformed
less-than-ideal soil at
Shamrock Park into a butter-
fly garden.
Butterflies aren't picky
eaters; they will feed from a
variety of flowering plants,
but flowering plants need
better soil than was at
Shamrock Park.
When the Intracoastal
Waterway was dug, most of
the dredge-fill material lay
along its edges, said Lu-Ann
Rhoden, a volunteer master
gardener working with
Sarasota County.
"Shamrock Park's soil is
made up' of that dredge
material," she said.
That soil is tough for
plants to grow in, she
said.
It's not
like top soil, where


at the bottom that is not the
best material to get plants
established," she said.
Rhoten volunteered her
time and helped plan and
develop the new butterfly
garden at Shamrock Park.
Transforming the barren
soil and rock into a flowering
garden that will attract but-
terflies might be described as
a "metamorphosis," the term
used to describe the change
of a caterpillar into a butter-
fly.
"It was a huge group
effort, with 400 volunteer
hours given in May alone,"
she said.
The first spot they picked
for the garden was on the
back side of the park's
nature center.
"It wasn't a beautiful
area," Rhoden said.
The volunteers
decided on a more vis-
ible area so visitors
Should immediately see
the beauty of the gar-
den.
Their next task was
to overcome the
obstacle of having no


BUTTERFLY
GARDEN PLANTS
Here are the plants the master
gardeners of Sarasota County
used to create the Shamrock
Park butterfly garden. You can
use one or several to attract
your own butterflies:
Beach buttercup
Lantana montevidenis
Beach rosemary
Maypop passion flower
Scrub oak d I
Necklackpod
Spanish bayonet
Adam's needle
Cassia didymobutrja
Coral honeysuckle
Corky stem passion flower
Cross vine
Scarlet milkweed'
Necklace pod
Prostrate porterweed
Cassia fasciculata
Cassia didymobutrya


Trish Jolin, another
Sarasota County volunteer in
the master gardener pro-
gram, helped with the plan-
ning and layout of the gar-
den.
"We needed to use
Florida-friendly plants that
would need less mainte-
nance and less water," she
said.
Both Jolin and Rhoden
created the plans for the gar-
den. They used all native
plants. They determined that
although drought resistant,
all plants need some water.
"Whatever environment
we put the plarit in it still
needs Water to survive," said
Rhoden.
This is where the volun-
teers used their tender, lov-
ing care. They arrived early
every morning to manually
water all of the new plants
until the rainy season began.
"The new plants have to
be babied the first year to
make them grow," said
Rhoten.
Weeding is another issue
the volunteers had to deal
with. Rhoden said native
plants have to be weeded
often because their seeds will


CARE OF PLANTS
Native plants do not need fer-
tilizers, herbicides, pesticides
or watering, reducing mainte-
nance costs. One of the most
common mistakes in butterfly
gardening is planting only
one nectar source. Adult but-
terflies have a very short life
span. Planting a variety of nec-
tar sources will encourage
more butterflies to visit the
garden. Planting an adequate
supply of host plants gives
butterflies a place to lay their
eggs, which will hatch and
result in additional butterflies
for the garden.

... The News from Ecineville


BYTED RANK
STAFF ESCRITOR

This is part two of a two-part
series on the events that occurred
Saturday at Caspertheghost Beach.
Hang on to your sanity, ladies
and gentlemen. It's time for News
from Ecineville.
"Did you see the seniors in the
Fasto bathing suits prior to them
coming out of that tent this after-
noon?" a reporter asked Garrett
Chowman at a 7 p.m. press confer-
ence at the Ecineville Community
Center last night.
"I did not," said Chowman.
(You may recall Chowman was
master of ceremonies of the. Men
and Women's.Senior Fasto Bathing
Suit Company Beach Volleyball
Tournament.)
"But it was your idea to have the


seniors wear those skin-tight bikini
bathing suits; is that correct?"
asked New York Times Senior Cor-
respondent Candace Tracker.
(You can't have 643 men, women
and children faint and suffer from
severe nausea on your local beach
without drawing national and inter-
national media attention.)
"Yes. Yes. OK. It was my idea and
I thought it would be good publici-
ty for the good folks at Fasto
Bathing Suit Company. I was just
trying to help. I realize I have no
experience in marketing, public
relations, event staging, fashion,
good taste, common sense or logi-
cal thought, but I had an idea, an
idea, and I thought it was a good
one," Chowman said.
That's right, at noon Saturday
100 men and women, ages 75-100,
had emerged from a large tent in
front of a crowd of 2,000 people


wearing the tiniest of tiny skin-
tight bikini bottoms for the men
and bikini tops and bottoms for
the women.
"We estimate that 125 people
fainted and more than 75 people
experienced severe nausea in the
first 15 seconds of the incident. In
the minutes following, as you
know, hundreds of others col-
lapsed or became ill. Of course
some were injured when they were
trampled in, for lack of a better
phrase, the stampede, as people
ran from the scene screaming hys-
terically," said Ecineville Police
Chief Trudy Redford.
Emergency personnel from Ri-
charora and Ettolrahc counties,
Yerpso, Simokon, Lerual, Doowe-
Igne and Htron Trop assisted
Ecineville.
There were several sad and
poignant stories on the beach


Saturday.
Little Cindy Lou Pooh, 2, was sit-
ting on the beach next to her par-
ents, who had both fainted. The
girl was crying uncontrollably.
Vietnam War veteran Vern Sna-
zuckle had grabbed his two grand-
children Greta, 7, and Billy 5, put
each child under an arm like a sack
of flour, ran 30 feet and dove over a
sand dune like he was diving into a
foxhole.
Tim Shaner had thrown his girl-
friend over his shoulder and was
running for the parking lot. He
heard Snazuckle yell "incoming" as
he flew through the air over the
sand dune.
Ecineville Chamber of Cornm-
merce President TinaWerplewamp
is still in the Richarora County
Sanatorium for the Businessly
Insane, in stable but guarded con-
dition.


Werplewamp had jumped in
front of the stampeding crowd,
Saturday, yelling "Stop! Stop! Just
pretend it's not really happening."
The crowd trampled her.
Emergency Medical Technician
Linda Ripbook told reports that
Werplewamp just kept repeating,
"It's not happening," the entire way
to the hospital.
Officials said the volleyball tour-
nament will be rescheduled at a
later date.
So when is it that global warm-
ing is supposed to freeze hell over?
I knew, but I've forgotten.
Well, this is Ted "I'm a reporter,
I'm a reporter" Rank reporting. I'll
see you next issue with more news
from Ecineville. Until then, re-
member, keep your eyes closed
until you hear the all-clear sirens
here in Ecineville.

Who needs a remote with a barking dog?


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST


I was saddened to hear
about a police dog named
Koda that choked to death
when he ate the seats out of a
police cruiser in Oregon. But
that's what happens when
dogs are hungry.
I don't mean that they
should eat the seats out of an
automobile, but they will eat
most anything that smells
good, especially if it smells


like a doughnut. It was, after
all, a police dog.
The officer in charge of the
animal was not held negli-
gent and was even offered
counseling by the depart-
ment psychologist. It was not
determined, however, if
charges would or could be
brought up later if it can be
determined that the officer,
who was also the keeper of
the animal, failed to share his
doughnut with the canine.
The name of the keeper
has been withheld to prevent
any retribution from the
good folks at PETA and the
guys at General Motors who
made the seats.
The dog was a Belgian
malinois, which resembles a
German shepherd the
dog, not the guy with a crook
(no pun intended) and who
tends the sheep. It's smaller,
which, of course, makes it


easier for the dog to get into
smaller places where crooks
- bad guys, not those things
shepherds carry might be
hiding.
As a grad-student in dog
school, I learned that a dog's
sense of smell is 600 times
more sensitive than a
human's nose. In my own
case, I refute that claim, as
my proboscis enables me to
smell my wife's spaghetti
sauce three states away.
In most cases, however,
the dog, with its keen sense
of smell, will munch on near-
ly anything that smells good,
like doughnuts.
This, by the way, could be
the incriminating evidence
that could put Koda's handler
in the crossbar hotel if it can
be proven that he, the han-
dler, had been munching on
a jelly-filled pastry with
multi-flavored sprinkles be-


fore the animal devoured the
seats.
I know something about
dogs eating seats as I one
time had a bassett hound
that ate the entire seat off a
lawn tractor I had purchased
just the day before the dog
ate the seat.
I recall it vividly. The store
from which I had bought the
mower had delivered it late
on a Friday afternoon. The
next morning, I eagerly
awoke in full anticipation of
riding around my yard on my
new 14-horse power tractor.
It was truly a beauty, re-
plete with all the amenities to
keep a farmer-wannabe
happy. It had headlights; a
cup holder I used to hold a
cold libation; and a safety
device that would automati-
cally shut the motor off
should I hit a tree while
enjoying the libation or


should they the libations,
not the trees become
numerous.
As I entered the garage, I
couldn't believe my eyes.
Rocky (the name of the das-
tardly beast) was sitting
beside the tractor with a
piece of white foam hanging
from his lower lip. As I looked
at the tractor, the entire seat
was gone. He, the dog, had
eaten the entire thing.
What was I to do? I could
shoot the dog, but that would
have caused more trouble
that it would have been
worth. First, I would have to
bury the dog, or inform the
kids that their pet was going
to have to buy me a new seat.
So, I did the next best
thing: I removed the seat
without ever having started
the tractor, and I return to the
dealer from whom I had
made the purchase.


The dealer, totally con-
fused as to what I was doing
standing in his store with the
remnants of what looked like
a seat, finally asked what had
happened. After a brief
explanation as to how my
dog had eaten the dang
thing, he gave me another,.
but refused to take any
money. He did say, however,
that I had given him the best
laugh ever.
The next week, Rocky, the
dog from hell, ate the TV
remote and every time he
barked, the channels on the
TV changed.
The good news was that
he didn't need batteries. The
bad news was that it sent him
to that big tractor seat in the
sky.
I never did miss that dog.

Mystery is not your typical bloody sleuthfest


TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER
THE BOOKWORM

When something you have
is missing, how far do you go
to find it?
Do you look everywhere,
concentrating on where you
were when you last saw what
was missing, or do you ask
around, hoping someone's
seen it? Or maybe, like Little
Bo Peep, you just assume that
whatever is missing will find
you instead.
In the new mystery "Thun-
der Bay" by William Kent
Krueger, Henry Meloux just
learned that he has a son,


born some 70 years ago. But
since he doesn't know where
his son is, Meloux asks his
friend, Cork O'Connor to help.
But they. need to hurry. A
vision told Henry that his son
is in trouble.
It's the end of summer in
Northern Minnesota, and
Cork O'Connor is looking for-
ward to a quiet rest of the sea-
son. His little restaurant, Sam's
Place, is running smoothly
with daughters Jenny and
Anne at the helm. Jo, Cork's
wife, is doing well at her law
firm. Even son, Stevie, seems
happy this summer, even
though he keeps begging -
fruitlessly for a dog.
And then the call comes:
Henry Meloux, an Objibwe
Mide and Cork's old friend,
has taken ill. He's in the hospi-
tal, and although doctors are
doing tests, they don't know
what's ailing him. But Henry
knows exactly what's wrong.
When Henry was a young
man, he fell in love with the


daughter of one of the men
who hired him to guide them
through the forests of
Northern Minnesota. Maria
Lima was beautiful and smart.
She embraced the woods and
learned to be silent on the
trails. Despite that her father
and his partner were looking
for hidden gold in the north-
land, a plan that would ruin
Henry's beloved forest, Maria
and Henry's romance was
sweet and intense. If it hadn't
been for tragedy and murder,
the couple could have easily
been quite happy.
Now a vision has told the

Canada, and Cork learns that

Are you tired of a violent,
blood-soaked, wild-car-crash,
blow-em-up, cringe-filled mys-
tery?
Then "Thunder Bay" is a
book you can grab and relax
with, because you won't find
anything .like that in here.
Author William Kent Krueger
gives you a murder in this


book a couple of them, in
fact, as well as two bittersweet
romances and a plot twist you
won't like but overall, you
won't need to look away while
you're reading this book and
you won't have nightmares
because of it.
If you're tired of the same
old bloody sleuthfest and you
want something different, I
think you'll be happywith this
one. "Thunder Bay" is a book
you'll read with lightning
speed and a definite don't-
miss mystery.

Drawing attention to their artwork


Spanish Honor Society


Students who didn't even know they had talent
got an imagination boost at a cartoon workshop.


SUN PHOTOS BY SUSAN CAIRO
Artist Michael White demon-
strates to students how to
draw a space creature. He
taught young adults cartoon-
ing at a workshop sponsored
by the Jacaranda Public
Library.

BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

Just in time to liven up a
long, hot summer, the Jac-
aranda Public Library invited
young adults ages 11-17 to
test their skills at drawing car-
toons.
"I didn't even know that I
could draw," Brandy Hausen
said.
The 14-year-old found that
she could not only draw -
she was good at it.
The week-long, free car-


tooning workshop was taught
by Michael White, a local
artist and lecturer. The first
thing he explained was how
the students could make a
career as an artist.
"I did it," he said. "So can
you.",
He asked the students if
they saw artists on the streets
drawing people's faces.
"It's a good way to make a
living as an artist in the begin-
ning," he said.
White, a teacher at Ring-
ling School of Art, explained
to students how to use their
imagination to create cartoon
caricatures of their own. His


Michael Mottram, 11, shows
off the cartoon characters he
created at the summer work-
shop held the week of July 23
at Jacaranda Public Library.


Marielle Higgins normally
draws realistic pictures, but
was surprised at how much
fun it was to create cartoons.
plan was to made class work
fun by asking them to visual-
ize different colors, animals
and objects.
"Cartooning makes you
pay attention to detail," he
said.
When you draw, White
explained, you are writing a
story with your picture. He
said students get excited
about their artwork when
they see characters come
alive as they create them on
paper.
"I was doing realistic figure
drawing and I decided to give
cartooning a try," Marielle
Higgins said.
Higgins, 15, said that her
realistic artwork will be better
now that she has tried car-
tooning.
"It gives you a different


perspective," she said.
Students discovered that
cartooning is a good way to
discover if they have talent. It
uses artistry to make commu-
nication distinctive.
"The more excited you get
about what you are drawing,
the better the picture," White
said.
A few of the students, like
Chris Apple, 14, and Brady
Motteim, 13, made their own
comic books.
"I actually started my
comic at the last class Mr.
White taught," said Apple.
"He's a really good teacher."
All of the artwork was dis-
played at a show held July 27.

'Talents,

Treasures and

Transitions'
Members of the Women's
Resource Center know when
dynamite women get togeth-
er, explosive ideas happen.
On a recent Saturday
morning, about 75 women
came to explore "Talents,
Treasures and Transitions."
Emcees Kathy Lehner and
Lynn Lewis introduced the
spirit of the day with light
hearted stories.
Co-chairs Paula Dumas
and Joan McGill brought
together locals to facilitate
roundtable discussions. The
list included Melody Trimble,
Marilyn Schott, Pamela Pep-
low, Maria Browne, Chris
Cortman, Janice Mee, J. Ne-
eysa Buckle, Rochelle Her-
man, Patti Yarranton and
David Auxier.
Between sessions, every-
one could attend short stress-
relieving sessions featuring
acupuncture by Shaun Du-
mas, tai chi by Joe Sciano,
natural skin care by Robin
Renee, massage by Sharon
Gaza and Bethlene Walton,
yoga by Rick Rabalais and
women's wellness by Deb
Betterly.
The conference included
an elegant continental break-
fast and lunch prepared and
served by Gary and Susan
Flynn, the new owners of Java
Florist and Coffee House.
Executive Director Janice
Zarro gave an overview of
Women's Resource Center
programs and asked for vol-,
unteers. Call 485-9724 for
details.
Quilting 2007
The Venice Art Center
leaves the community in
stitches by presenting a quilt
show as its summer exhibit
and final show before the
annual break.
"I am in awe of what fiber
artists are. able to accomplish
with cloth and thread." Kath-
leen A. McDonald said of the
exhibit.
This talented painter, pot-
ter, printmaker and photogra-
pher judged the show.
"I spent time with a magni-
fying glass judging each of the
entries," she added.
At the opening day recep-
tion Barbara Freeman gave
Patricia Slagle-Ulin, visiting
from Canada, a special thank-
you. Once the talented pianist
saw the magnificent piano at
the art center, she couldn't
resist. She sat down to play
and entertained everyone at
the exhibit.
Local fiber artist Pam
Morris showed off several
designs, including "Bubbles"
and "Florida." Jann Warfield
showed "'Alaska Sunrise."
Adam Bonito checked all
the wall hangings, looking for
special ones designed by
his grandmother, Barbara
Plough.
The "Metro-Textural Para-
dise Perspective" show runs
through Aug. 10. Call 485-
7136 for information.
One of our best
The special person of this
week is Pam Morris. This
award-winning fiber artist
takes her quilting hobby to
new dimensions. She volun-
teers with the Quilter's Guild
and teaches quilting classes in
Venice. Her work wins a-
wards, and she has been fea-
tured at national shows.
Pam Morris is ,one of the
Venice quilters who help
make Venice colorful.
