"They understand grief. They are such faith-
ful people and they stood by so many people
in their time of need and now they're
being held up by others." Jean McNutt, on
Venice residents Rev. Richard and Marybelle
Hawke and the loss of the Hawkes' daughter
and grandchildren.

A savage family murder in
Connecticut that caught the
attention of the nation's
media has roots in a deeply
religious Venice family.
Retired snowbirds the Rev.
Richard and Marybelle
Hawke, who reside in Venice
in the winter and who sum-
mer in Slippery Rock, Pa.,
have spent the last two weeks
in tears.
They're recovering up
north from shock over the
brutal deaths of their daugh-
ter and two grandchildren,
murdered in a home invasion
July 23.
Two convicts with long rap
sheets, out on parole, fol-
lowed the faintly from a store
to their home in Cheshire,
Conn. They raped and stran-
gled Jennifer Lynn Hawke-
Petit, 48, tied 17-year-old
daughter Hayley and her 11-
year-old sister Michaela to
their beds, then torched the
house to cover up their
crimes. Hayley and Michaela
died from smoke inhalation,
according to news reports.:
Husband Dr. William Petit,
50, was assaulted and bound
in the basement, but man-


aged to escape before the fire
consumed the house, accord-
ing to reports.
The men charged with the
crime, former roommates
who met at a recovery center,
smashed into police vehicles
trying to escape the scene,
but were caught.
In a story titled "Every
Family's Nightmare," People
Magazine chronicled the
event, as did AOL, MSNBC,
The Boston Globe, The New
York Times and dozens of
local, regional and national
newspapers.
The Hawkes' extended
family and members of the
Petit family were supposed to
congregate this coming week
for a family reunion at the
Hawkes' summer home in
Pennsylvania.
Instead, nine Venice family
members and relatives from
around Florida attended a
series of services this past
week that drew thousands of
mourners.
, More services are sched-
uled this week for the well-
liked family.
Surreal
Cynthia Renn, the Hawke's
second daughter, said this
week the family is still

in shock.
"This doesn't seem real,"
she said. "It's hard to fathom it
happened to our family.
"I wake up every morning
and go to sleep every night
with this. It's hard."
Renn had been in con-
itact with the family just a
day before the home inva-
sion.
When she tried to make
contact the next day, she
couldn't get through.


Renn heard about the
murders from a relative the
following day.
"I knew something was
wrong because I hadn't talked
to that relative in some time. I
said, Are they dead?' She said,
'Yes.'
"I asked if it was a car acci-
dent. I could live with that. But
this .... this was over the top. :'
"I was thinking, were these
guys there while I was cal-
ling all their cell phones?"


she said.

Following a private cere-
mony in Cheshire on July 27,

way to' Slippery Rock to be

The first official slow-
growth candidate has thrown
his hat in the ring for a seat on
city council.
Ernie Zavodnyik an-
nounced his candidacy Fri-
day, Aug. 10.
Zavodnyik, who ran for the
city council last year and lost
by only 416 votes to John
Simmonds, said he believes
now more than ever Venice
needs a voice that is respon-
sive to the residents of Venice
and their desire to maintain
its small town charm.
Zavodnyik, a 68-year-old
retired lawyer, has been criti-


cal of how the city has han-
dled airport development
talks.
"Judging from the discus!
sons I have attended and
those that I have spoken to,
people are fed up with being
fed a steady stream of mis-
leading and confusing irifor-
mation.
"(They're) thoroughly dis-
gusted with the way the city
council has handled the
process," he said.
Zavodnyik said he advo-
cates "sensible, sustainable
growth, not the kind that
increases traffic and' our taxes
and drains our natural re-
sources."

Last year at this time, Ray
Bizier could barely walk -
the result of major surgery
on his back and shoulder.
This year, he's also recu-
perating physically but
not from any injury. The
SEnglewood resident recent-
ly completed a 63-day,
3,623-mile, solo bicycle
excursion from Anacortes,
Wash., to Poland, Maine.
Not bad for a 65-year-old
diabetic who took up'
cycling because his. bad
knees made it impossible to
jog or even power walk.
"Few people can do what
he did," boasts Monika,
Bizier's wife and "best
cheerleader."
Their 20th anniversary
was Wednesday, but Bizier
wasn't sure he'd be home in
time for it. The prospect of a
belated arrival didn't damp-
en Monika's enthusiasm
one bit.
"I'm very proud of him,"
she said. "I knew it was a big
physical and mental chal-
lenge; I had to support it."

Bizier started cycling in
1995, after retiring from 30
years in the U.S. Army.

Charley came into Char-

Aug. 13, 2004, gusting winds of
more than 160 mph near a

Punta Gorda, Harbour

There were deaths. There
was widespread destruction.
Those here then will never

Seawater may solve water woes, but at what price?


Desalination is often cited as a solution to the state's water woes. Tampa's
experience shows it's not easy and it's not cheap.


BY ANDY REID
SOUTH RMRIDA SiN-SENWWIL

Small plastic bottles with
labels proclaiming "a taste of
Florida's future" contain
drinking water mined from
the sea.
Filtered and treated at a
desalination plant that sup-
plements supplies in the
FloridA Keys, the bottled
water is a crystal-clear mar-
keting gimmick to show that
taking the salt out of seawater
offers a droughtproof solu-
tion to the state's water woes.
But a few hundred miles
from the Keys, Tampa's trou-
bled desalination plant -
built to become the largest of
its kind in North America but
still struggling to run at full
capacity-- stands as a monu-
/ment to how costly and
uncertain the investment can
be.
During a drought that has
led to the toughest water
restrictions in South Florida
history, water managers have
renewed their call to explore
using the sea to help meet
water needs.
Fort Lauderdale is among
the sites where the South
Florida Water Management
District proposes a pilot pro-
gram to test tapping into
ocean water.
"We are sucking Florida
dry right now," said Arlyn


Higley, director of operations
for the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority. "Desalination is the
way of the future."
Desalination is not a new
practice; the Keys have relied
on it for more than a century.
The first desalination plant
in the United States was built
in the 1840s in Key West to
serve troops at Fort Zachary
Taylor.
Today, a desalination plant
on nearby Stock Island, which
produces the bottled water,
and another on Marathon
serve as a backup water sup-
ply for the southern Keys in
case hurricanes or other
emergencies damage the
freshwater pipeline from
Florida City. Those plants, can
produce about 3 million gal-
lons of water a day, compared
with the 17 million gallons a
day the Keys can pump from
freshwater wells.
The earliest desalination
involved heating saltwater,
collecting the steam, and
then condensing the steam
for drinking water.
Behind the curve
Today's plants pump water
at high pressure through
membranes with hair-thin
fibers that filter out the salt,
producing fresh water that
can be used for drinking
water.
Fishing boats and barges


plow through the water in
Safe Harbor Channel beside
Stock Island, the same water
the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority taps to supply its
desalination plant.
The plant, on a finger of
land jutting into the Atlantic
Ocean, was rebuilt in 1998 at
a cost of $8.3 million. It hous-
es 440 membrane-packed
cylinders that filter seawater,
pumped through at 1,000
pounds per second by high-
powered diesel engines.
Thirty percent of the sea-
water emerges from the
process as usable freshwater,
while the salty leftovers get
pumped into a 210-foot deep
disposal well.
It costs about $5 per 1,000
gallons to produce the desali-
nated water, compared with
less than $1 per 1,000 gallons
to tap into conventional
sources, Higley said.
"The energy cost is much
more expensive than just
pumping it out of the
ground," Higley said. "That's
why we don't run this plant
any more than we absolutely
have to."
The New Water Supply
Coalition-made up of water
management agencies, in-
cluding in South Florida and
the Keys is lobbying
Congress for legislation to
help finance the construction
of desalination plants, to fol-


low the lead of countries such
as Israel, Australia and Saudi
Arabia that already convert
seawater to drinking water.
"We in the United States
are behind the curve," coali-
tion director Hal Furman
said. "When you have high
growth rates ... coupled with
droughts, it is natural that you
are going to have to look for
alternative water supplies."
Numbers
The South Florida district
in 2001 teamed with Florida
Power & Light Co. to explore
building desalination plants
beside electric power plants,
with the hopes of limiting
energy costs and using sea-
water already pumped\ in to
cool the power plants.
A list of 23 possible sites
stretching from Fort Pierce to
Miami ultimately was
trimmed to three: beside
FPL's Lauderdale and Port
Everglades power plants,. as
well as one in Fort Myers.
Eye-popping construction
estimates $276 million for
Port Everglades, $148 million
for Lauderdale and $91 mil-
lion for Fort Myers have
kept the plants from being
built.
In Fort Lauderdale, the pro-
posals compete with less-
expensive alternatives such as
tapping into the Floridan
aquifer, a deeper, more plenti-
ful supply than the more com-
monly used Biscayne aquifer,
and using water from a Palm


"Desalination is the
way of the future."
Arlyn Higley,
director of opera-
tions for the Florida
Keys Aqueduct
Authority


Beach County reservoir.-
The city contends that the
district should conduct a pilot
program at the proposed sites
to get a better handle on the
costs and how that system
would fit with the city's cur-
rent water facilities, city
spokesman Chaz Adams said:
"It could potentially have
regional benefits," Adams
said.
Leftovers"
Tampa's problems with
desalination leaves commu-
nities leery, said Ken Herd,
director of operations and
facilities for Tampa BayWater,
which owns the plant.
Tampa opened a plant in
2003 that was supposed to
produce 25 million gallons of
water a day, but it has been
plagued with operational
problems.
Pre-treatment of the water
drawn from Tampa Bay failed
to filter out sediment, algae
and other small particles that
damaged the salt-filtering
membranes.


Switching contractors and:
fixing deficiencies cost $48
million and pushed the total'
plant price to $158 million.
The plant now produces'
about 18 million gallons a day,
that gets mixed into the:
drinking water supply. Tampa:
Bay Water hopes to have the'
plant at full capacity by the:
end of the year, Herd said.
"It has huge political risks,";
Herd said about policymak-;
ers pursing expensive desali-:
nation alternatives.
Along with the cost, desali-
nation plants face environ-
mental concerns. Getting rid,
of the briny leftovers could:
threaten fisheries and coral:
reefs. ,
Environmental activists
are fighting a similar wafte'
product disposal problem for'
a new Lake Worth water plant
that would Lap into the:
Floridan aquifer ajrd'"duinp,
wastewater- a -mile off 'the
coast.
'Any waste we produce, we
have to be careful where we
put it," said Ed Tichenor, dir-
ector of Palm Beach County
Reef Rescue.
No desalination plants are
on the drawing board for,
South Florida through 2025,:
said Mark Elsner, water dis-
trict director for alternative,
water supplies.
That could change, he
said, as South Florida's popIu-
lation pressures start to out-
weigh desalination cost con-
cerns.

SCHOOL BOARD NOTES


Talks continue over reading teacher shortage


Welcome back
On Aug. 15, the Sarasota
County School Board will
have a live airing of its wel-
come-back-to-staff presenta-
tion. The presentation can be
viewed on Comcast channel
20 orVerizon channel 33 from
8:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Communications plan
On Aug. 7, the Sarasota
County School Board mem-
bers received an update on
the progress of the the com-
munications department.
Superintendent Gary
Norris said he was asked to
improve district communica-
tion last summer. In re-
sponse, he restructured and
increased the communica-
tions staff, putting all of the
staff under one director. The
restructuring was the first in a
series of steps presented in
the communications depart-
ment's strategic plan.
Part of the plan was to
inform the public about what
NeXt Generation Learning
entails.
According to Director of
Communications Gary Leat-
herman, each school is to
have a fbrum to help accli-
mate students; the template
for them will be designed by
the district. This is in addition
to the three community
forums held in different por-
tions of the county to help
inform the public, about the
NeXt Generation learning
plan.
The community forums
were a subject of concern for
the board members.
Board Chair Frank Kovach
said he was concerned about
the amount of resources the


district put into the commu-
nity forums last spring.
Attendance was minimal, he
said, and was largely staff.
Board Member Caroline
Zucker replied that staff is
also a part of the community.
She also said she was not sure
the district and the board did
everything it could to notify
the public of the events.
Board Member Carol Todd
said she was not sure the dis-
trict needed to have the com-
munity forums the way it did
last spring if dialogue with the
community is the desired
result.
The board agreed to hav-
ing the school forums by the
end of the first quarter of
classes to alleviate some of
the load on school principals.
Board Vice Chair Kathy
Kleinlein said the schools
should have their forums,
and the district would deter-
mine the need for the spring
forums once data have been
evaluated from each school.
The board members were
also told the goals of the com-
munications department,
which include: maintaining
good relationships with the
media; having internal media
directly communicating with
staff; presenting the district's
point of view in a persuasive
way; and soliciting informa-
tion from the public.

Good sportsmanship
At its board meeting
Tuesday, the school board
adopted a resolution promot-
ing good sportsmanship
among student athletes and
the adults who guide them.
The resolution calls for the
promotion of "the highest

standards of sportsmanship
at all times" and calls on
coaches to convey the values
of sportsmanship and good
conduct, including "fair play,
respect and graciousness in
winning or losing."
The document also cites
the responsibility of high
school principals to ensure
that school athletes "adhere
to the high standards set forth
by the Florida High School
Athletic Association."
Sarasota County Public
Schools Athletic Programs
Supervisor Jim Clark said,
"Since most students in
grades K-12 participate in
some form of athletics -
from organized sports to
informal games on the play-
ground we want to make
sure we instill these values in
all our students. These are
universal standards that
apply to the classroom as well
as to the playing field. When
kids learn these values early
in life, everybody wins."

Technology grant for
Venice High
In the effort to create
smaller learning communi-
ties at Venice High School, the
district has filed for a SUC-
CEED Florida Information
Technology Cluster grant.
Funds will develop career and
technical programs to pro-
vide career and technical
training that can enhance
postsecondary options for
students. The 'grant will have
a financial impact of
$150,000.

The critical shortage of
reading teachers was again
the major topic of negotia-
tions between the Sarasota
Classified/Teachers Assoc-
iation and the Sarasota Coun-
ty School District Wednesday.
After meeting with the
school board members Tues-
day regarding the reading
teacher problem, the district
presented its counter-pro-
posal to the SC/TA.
The district's offer is for a
one-year contract.
"Our interest is to make sure
it has a one-year shelf life,"
SCSB attorney Art Hardy said.
The time limit is essential
to the district so the plan can
be revisited in a year to make
sure it complies with state
law, according to Hardy.
The SC/TA didn't oppose
the time limit.
A problem did arise with
the district's proposal to allow
only two-years for teachers to
become reading endorsed.
According to SC/TA presi-
dent Pat Gardner, a major
hurdle in more teachers
becoming endorsed is com-
pleting the endorsement
process in a timely manner
while teaching at the same
time.
Scott Lempe, chief operat-
ing officer for the SCSB, said
the two-year time frame was-
n't created to keep anyone out
of the endorsement process,
but to give the participants an
end date. Two years is how
long the endorsement process
takes, according to Lempe.
Lempe also said any
teacher could complete the


This meeting. will be broadcast on Comcast Channel 21 on
Wednesday, August 15, and Saturday August 18, 2007, at 9:30 a.m.

process in two years unlees
he dropped out of the pro-
gram, or took a leave.
"I think that's too short,"
said Barry Dubin, SC/TA
executive director. "We'll
counter."
Placement of teachers who
have become reading certi-
fied also came up at the nego-
tiations.
"The assignment issue is
the hardest issue," Hardy said.
The district proposed put-
ting people in positions by
seniority.
"The contract says you
can't place an out-of-field


teacher against their will,"
Dubin said. "That's the most
advantageous (way) for the
employee. It's the most
employee friendly."
Hardy said teachers must
be willing to move in order to
be placed. If teachers don't
want to move, they can refuse
or they can quit teaching
reading. Either choice would
deny the teacher of one-time
$5,000 bonus given to teach-
ers who complete the reading
endorsement process.
The two sides hope to reach
an agreement next week.

Posting up again for schools'


CFO after job rejected


GOP VIPs


BY RACHEL BROWN
HACKNEY
PRECAN PRESS

A new advertisement went
out July 20 for a chief financial
officer for the Sarasota
County Schools three days
after the school board voted
4-1 to approve a contract with
a financial adviser who will
serve until the CFO can be
hired.
Board member Carol Todd,
who cast the solitary "nay"
vote on the contract during
the board's July 17 meeting,
raised the issue of the delay in
the new posting.
"The position's been open
for awhile, and we've known
forever that Mr. (Bruce)
Monson (the executive direc-
tor of finance who retired in
April) was leaving the posi-
tion." .
When Todd asked why the
CFO position had not been
re-advertised in the latter
third of June, as the CFO
whom Superintendent Gary
Norris had hired had rejected
the job on June 18, Norris did
not respond.
However, Norris told the
Pelican Press on July 20 that
he had wanted to tweak the
job description, get Gail
Miller on board, then decide
on the best media through
which to readvertise the posi-
tion.
Finally, he said, he was able
to take two weeks of vacation
after that June board meeting.
When he returned, he said, "I
got immediately on (the post-
ing)."
"I just find all that unac-
ceptable," Todd told the
Pelican on July 23. "I don't
care where in the world you
are, you can make a phone


call," she said of authorizing
the posting. "This is a board
priority. I thought it was a
superintendent priority."
Benefit of the doubt
Todd also expressed con-
cern during the July 17 meet-
ing over wording in the con-
tract for Miller, the financial
adviser, who worked many
years in finance for Sarasota
County.
Among her duties, Miller is
to assist Norris in "making
recommendations regarding
best governmental account-
ing and financial practices;
(and) making recommenda-
tions regarding innovative
practices in the field of gov-
ernmental accounting and
financial practices ...."
"We've been moving along
fine" in the finance depart-
ment, Todd said. "I'm not sure
that I'm comfortable with
someone saying, 'OK, these
are best practices,' and then
what if that person hired to be
our CFO doesn't agree with
those best practices. I would
much prefer just to maintain
the department, hire the best
person possible" and let that
new CFO decide on what best
practices to implement.
"Dr. Todd, I agree with you
100 percent," Chair Frank
Kovach said. "I thought
(Monson) left the finance
department in very good
shape."
However, since Norris
already had brought in Miller,
Kovach said, "I'm certainly
going to give him the benefit
of the doubt in this."
(Miller began working on
contract in the district on
June 19. Norris had suggested,
at the board's meeting that
evening that he put an item


on the July 17 agenda for the
board to approve her hiring as
interim CFO. Board members
objected to that proposal.)
Woulda, should
Because the board ulti-
mately had agreed to a
$150,000 salary for the CFO,
Norris said on July 17, "I'm
told now that there'll be more
applicants this time around. I
wish we could have known
what was coming in the first
round and cut our losses and
readvertised."
As for the "best practices"
clauses in Miller's contract,
Norris said, "That was just
one part of what we're asking
(Miller) to do with no impli-
cations whatsoever that we
weren't following good prac-
tices already.....
"If I could go back right
now and redo this whole con-
tract thing, I would have
appointed Gail interim CFO
and been done with it," Norris
said. "Gail has incredible
respect in this community ...
and I thought it would give
the public confidence."
"This has nothing to do
with public trust and watch-
ing the dollars," Todd said. "I
have 100 percent trust in our
finance department and the
direction they take for the
superintendent and the
board."
Finally, board member
Caroline Zucker said, "You're
giving the board an opportu-
nity to have a voice in (Miller's
hiring under contract). As
such, I will support it."
Zucker told the Pelican,
"(Norris) did what I asked
him to do" made the Miller
hiring a contract decision
instead of an interim CFO
position.

Night biking isn't innocent


Boys on bikes hit Venice Acres, Monday, the 30th of July, around 1:30-2:30 a.m., and broke
into unlocked cars. Three police reports were made on the stolen items to the Sarasota County
Sheriff's Office, maybe more. If you see boys riding bicycles and wearing backpacks at 1 to 2 in
the morning, keep an eye on them and keep your cars locked.


Smoke and mirrors. Non-
sense never seems to end at
Venice City Hall. It just seems
good to see comments on the
$1,500 get-fit bonus for po-
lice department officers. I
thought I was dreaming when
I first read this. Glad to see
other people saw it too, but
it's hard to believe. It can only
happen in Venice. They claim
that they have to cut back on
projects, cut 35 positions,
charge employees more for
insurance benefits, and then
give a fitness bonus for those
who should be fit or else. Also,
on one side of the ledger they
claim to have eliminated 35
positions from the payroll.
Just before doing that city
management created a posi-
tion at city hall for a recently
retired fire chief at the cost of
approximately $90,000 a year,
which includes benefits. Did
the management advertise
this position statewide to see
what kind of experience we
could get for $90,000 per
annum? Doubt it very much.
Now we are told that the city
tax will be decreased at the
same time most of the costs
of doing business with the
city, which includes fees, rates
etc., are going to go up? Also,
trying to get a new type of a
fee through the fire service.
Again, smoke and mirrors
seems to never end.
Faded. I'm calling about
receipts that fade. I'm suspi-
cious when I want to take
back a receipt and it's faded
so they can't read it. Everyone


should be aware of this.
Shame. I pick up the
Gondolier Sun this Sunday
and lo and behold on the
front page, no less, a picture
of a dangerous dog being put
back into society to hurt and
maim again. It is now labeled
what its actions have already
proven. I can only sympathize
with that unfortunate Verizon
repairman getting viciously
attacked while performing his
job. It's a sad commentary on
mankind when we value an
animal over our fellow man
and shame on your newspa-
per for celebrating it on the
front page.
Seeking substance. I'd
like to talk about Mr. Nolen.
I've only lived on the island
for three years, but the inspi-
ration he gave to the commu-
nity- his beautiful parks and
his plan were what enticed
me to come here as someone
who had very little money. I
was taken with West Venice
Avenue. People say this why
they moved to Venice, be-
cause of beautifulWestVenice
Avenue shops and the road to
the beach. Now with these
developers trying to take all
that away, I'd like to challenge
them to take up the sword
and act like and be like Mr.
Nolen. Stand above the crowd
and see what you can do to
imitate this man because
there's no one around who
seems to be a man of sub-
stance when it comes to
Venice island.
Good job. I just want to


compliment your editorial
staff in printing that great
issue about the airport. A lot
of people want to know why
the controversy, and I think
that issue answers all the
questions. I thank you for
doing such a good job.
Great job. I haven't read
anything in the Gondolier Sun
about the cleaning up and
landscaping done at the post
office on Venice island by the
Boy Scouts. Could you please
repeat the troop number,
leader information; or if you
haven't covered it at all,
devote an article to the great
job they have done? This has
corrected a real longtime eye-
sore for our town, and they
did such a beautiful. We really
need to give them credit, and
we need to encourage any
kind of good citizenship that's
reflected in this kind of work.
Editor's note: We printed a
photo of the Scout crew weeks
ago.
No admittance. Oh my, a
crack house in Golden Beach.
Well, if this doesn't get Ms.
Lang and Mr. Levine into
their guarded gate at each
end of Harbor Drive, I don't
know what will. I can see it
now. The sign at the gate will
read, "No through traffic. No
pilots. No beachgoers, no
short-term rentals, no un-
leashed kids or pets and no
drug dealers."
Sad. I'm calling to say that
Miami Avenue looks very sad
and lonely and empty. I can't
understand why. I'm waiting


to go shopping again with all
the beautiful things out on
the sidewalks.
Too early. I'd like to com-
ment on the stores down on
the island complaining about
not being able to put stuff
outside. I have a suggestion. I
think they'd have a lot more
business if they would stay
open in the summer like
noon to 8 or 9 p.m. so that we
working people could shop
there. We would love to, but
we work the same daytime
hours they do. We'd love to
shop when there's no crowd
around like there is during
season.
Changed. I live on the
island of Venice in a lovely
condominium and until Ms.
Trammell began her project
by first removing the palm
trees, house and shrubs, we
had a lovely view. Now, we
have to look at the back of the
Luna Restaurant and it looks
like the slums. And the side-
walk on St. Augustine Avenue
is not finished; and full of
weeds. We have to walk in the
street. Something needs to be
done. Venice sure ain't what it
used to be.
Pulled off.-I said some-
thing should be done about
the weeds on the bridges. On
Aug. 11 a caller stated if I did-
n't like it, I should go out and
pick them myself. Someone,
either county or city employ-
ees, gets paid for keeping the
beach, medians, trees, grasses
and bridges and so forth,
looking nice. But you're say-
ing that I, an 82-year-old lady
resident, should park her car
at the end of the bridge some-
place, take some bags, walk
up one side and down the
other side, constantly bend-
ing over the ground and
pulling large and small hand-
fuls of weeds and grass from
both sides of the sidewalk,
even the street side with cars
going by and the cracks
beside the sidewalk. Re-
member, she's likely strug-


gling to carry several bags
loaded with weeds as she
goes up and back. And don't
forget the temperature is like-
ly to be in the 90s. That is real-
ly ridiculous. I notice this
week someone apparently
used weed killer. Their inten-
tions were good, but the
weeds and grass are still there,
but brown novw instead of
green. How about those who
are responsible, doing their
job? Or, maybe the bridge
tender could have that
added at the beginning or
the end of that job once or
twice a month. Please,
someone take responsibility
or get a group together like
Sarasota has to help make
Venice beautiful.
Editor's note: County road
gang crews finally performed


maintenance on the Hatchett
Creek bridge recently.
Stay home. To everyone
who doesn't like the water
park in Venice, stay home.
Spun. I was disappointed
to read your headline, "Jen-
nings' campaign failed to pay
payroll taxes," when the arti-
cle stated that it was an over-
sight and when Christine
found out about it, she took
care of it. Why couldn't you
have headlined it, "Jennings'
campaign paid payroll taxes
late." It seems you put an
unfair spin on what occurred.
She obviously wasn't trying to
avoid taxes, but somewhere a
mistake was made.
Waste. I vote to cut the
Dave Barry column. It's a
waste of space in the newspa-
per.

vice held Saturday, Aug. 11, at
Slippery Rock University.
Renn credits the family's
faith for helping get through it
all.
"We come from a family
that is deeply religious," she
said. "We all work in a helping
profession."
Renn is a teacher at a
Catholic school, while her
husband works at a drug and
alcohol rehabilitation center.
William Petit is a well
known endocrinologist. Jen-
nifer Hawke-Petit was a nurse
at a private school.
Richard Hawkes is a retired
Methodist minister who led
the Western Conference of


the United Methodist
Church. He was formerly
superintendent of the
Philadelphia district, oversee-
ing 76 churches.
Remembrances
Back in Venice, Marybelle
(Buchanan) Hawkes'" sister,
Jean McNutt, said the family
appears to be holding up well.
"They understand grief,"
she said. "They are such faith-
ful people and they stood by
so many people in their time
of need and now they're
being held up by others."
She just returned from ser-
vices for her niece and the
Petit children at Central
Connecticut State University.
Also in attendance was Venice


Pastor Jay Kowalski of Grace
United Methodist Church,
and other relatives who reside
in Sarasota, Orlando and Fort
Myers.
She still feels numb over
the tragic event, she said, but
what sticks in her mind most
was the first private service.
The processional drew
bystanders out of their shops
in the small town of Cheshire.
Those who lined the street
placed their hand over their
hearts as the processional
passed.
"That day" McNutt said,
"with those white caskets,
knowing children were in
there, it was so hard for all of
us."

COUNCIL from Page 1A


Committee included millions
from proposed 1-cent sales
tax proceeds to jump-start
the project.
Tiedown rates go up
City council is likely to sign
off on raising airport tiedown
and aircraft parking fees.
Monthly rates will go to $45
(or $4.50 per day) for single-
engine aircraft and heli-
copters; $55 (or $5.50 per day)
for light twin-engine aircraft
less than 6,000 pounds; $85
(or $9 per day) for aircraft less
than 12,000 pounds; and $130
per month (or $18 per day) for
heavy twin-engine aircraft
and all single and twin jet-
propelled aircraft. The fee is
$240 monthly (or $29 daily)
for aircraft with three or more
engines.
Parking fees were last.
raised in 2001.
Ruscelletto Park
Another resolution up for
adoption authorizes the city
manager to seek a grant for


$600,000 to develop Rus-
celletto Park between 2008
and 2011. The city is using the
value of its land for a grant
matched by the Florida
Recreation Development
Assistance Program.
Biz tax clarified
Council will also consider a
revised ordinance to comply
with state law requiring cities
to rename their occupational
license tax. City forms will
now reflect it is a local busi-
ness tax.
The change is an effort to


eliminate fraudulent repre-
sentations by unscrupulous
persons who in the past
have presented a local occu-
pation license to consumers
as proof of competency to
perform various repairs and
services. The document
merely shows a business fee
was paid.
The council meeting
begins at 1:30 p.m., Tuesday,

from zero elevation through
such rugged terrain as the
Cascades, the Rocky Moun-
tains (which were easy, after
the Cascades, he said), the
Badlands of North Dakota
and New York's Adirondack
mountains. He even crossed a
portion of Canada, where he
found the drivers more
"respectful" toward cyclists
than Americans.
Along the way, he stayed in
hotels, inns and bed-and-
breakfasts- and, sometimes,
pitched a tent under the stars.
The five or six meals he
wolfed down daily were
quickly burned off in the next
day's ride.
His bike weighed 65 to 70
pounds, depending on how
much water he was carrying.
Much of the weight was due
to two panniers cycling jar-
gon for saddlebags that he
loaded with extra tires and
tubes, spare parts, rain and
cold weather gear, changes of
clothes, toiletries, etc.
The hardware came in
handy; Bizier suffered two flat
tires and a broken bolt on his
bicycle seat, all of which he
was able to replace himself.
Great people
Bizier's trip lasted from
May 18 to July 19, with 58 of
the days spent riding. He
never traveled fewer than 39
miles in a day, and rode as
many as 97 miles in one day.
During one leg of the jour-


ney, he met up with some
motorcyclists from Canada.
When they heard of his plans,
"They said, 'My god, you
make us feel like wimps.'"
Along the way, Bizier said,
he met "great people," includ-
ing a Montana hotel owner
who insisted on giving him a
ride to dinner, and a bed-and-
breakfast in Canada whose
owners packed him a box
lunch.
Lost phone
Then there's the time he
lost his cell phone by the side
of the road. It was found by a
woman who started calling
numbers on the phone until
she reached someone who
knew at which hotel Bizier
was staying that night. The
woman contacted him and
insisted on driving to the
hotel to return the phone her-
self.
Bizier rides every day, usu-
ally totaling 200 miles a week.
But during that last month
before he left, he kicked it up
to 300 miles.
Still, nothing you can do in
the level terrain of Florida
prepares you for the moun-
tains.
"Flatlanders pay the price,"
he said, "I knew the moun-
tains were there I just
thought I'd get over them a lot
easier."
On the road again

was not the Rockies, but the
Cascades. Some area- were
under 4 feet of snow, and the
temperature didn't rise above
40 degrees.
By the fourth mountain,
Bizier was so exhausted, his
legs ached so badly, he began
running a fever and had to
take a day to rest and pop
aspirin to bring his tempera-
ture down.
"What I really wanted to
do was go back to Seattle
and go home," he said. But
the next day, he was on the
road again. The doubts were
common all part of the
mental and emotional gym-
nastics facing any long-dis-
tance athlete.
"There are a lot of times
you ask yourself what you're
doing here," Bizier said. "And
you run the gamut of emo-
tions."
Mentally prepared
Bizier insists the mental
preparation is far more
important than the physical
one.
"You have to be. an early
riser and be in the right mind-
frame," he said, "especially
when you know you're going
to spend the rest of the day
riding 90 miles over moun-
tain passes.
"But your body can do
anything it wants to if your
mind allows you to do it."

Disparate demolition proposals drive up owner's liens


BY JACK GURNEY
PRICMI IEPSS


Emergency actions by
Sarasota County officials
resulted in large liens being
levied on waterfront land
owned by the Siesta Key
woman who tried to save late
artist Syd Solomon's home on
Turtle Beach.
The total is more than 10
times what it would have cost
her to demolish the damaged
structure.
Documents only recently
obtained by the Pelican Press
indicate Nancy Burns Strat-
ton secured a $30,600 bid
from a local firm to tear down
the home in 2001. Now she
faces $337,000 in county liens
because it removed the west
half in 2003 and east half in
'04 against her will.
And she could lose her
property. In June, the county
attempted to foreclose on the
vacant 9210 Blind Pass Road
parcel where Solomon's con-
temporary home was located.
If it succeeds, the county will
gain easier access to Palmer
Point Park at the southern tip
of Siesta Key.


Blind Pass Road is private-
ly owned and maintained by
a dozen beachfront property
owners. The tiny cluster of
homes is segregated from
Siesta Key neighbors by a
security gate. Visitors must
either enter a code to get in,
or be admitted by one of the
residents.
If the county legally takes
Stratton's lot it will have an
ownership right to use the
sandy road. Unfettered public
access to Palmer Point Park -
site of the original Mote
Marine Laboratory has
long been a sticky issue with
Blind Pass Road residents.
Bidding
On May 11, 2001, Stratton
obtained the $30,600 bid
from Abbotts' Back-Hoe
Service, a Sarasota firm, to
demolish the entire home.
The one-page document also
included a $15,840 bid to
remove just the damaged
west tower.
"She asked me for a propos-
al to take down the whole
structure," CraigAbbott said. "It
would have been a lot easier in
2001, before the west tower col-


lapsed, but for $30,600 we
probably would have made
zero dollars on the job."
On March 10, 2003, after
the west tower collapsed, the
county contracted with For-
ristall Enterprises of Palmetto
to remove it for more than six
times the figure quoted by
Abbotts', a total of $104,520.
Because it was deemed an
emergency, no competitive
bids were sought. ,
The disparate figures be-
tween what Stratton was
quoted and the county con-
tracted with Forristall to pay
recurred a year later when
Gulf of Mexico waves dam-
aged the eastern tower and
demolition companies were
again approached for bids.
Cross Construction Com-
pany, a'Wesley Chapel firm
located near Tampa, submit-
ted a $45,750 proposal to
Stratton for its removal, but
the county opted to accept a
$92,387 offer from Forristall.
This time it secured a $95,950
competitive bid from Ab-
botts'.
"It was an emergency, rush
demolition job," Abbott said,
"and I would have had to


shuffle a lot of guys around to
do it. I won't saywe overinflat-
ed our bid, but we tried to
price ourselves out of the job.
It was a situation that war-
ranted extra charges."
Rejected
Jim LeGay, the county's
code enforcement chief, was
involved in both demolitions.
"If a situation is deemed an
emergency," he said, "a build-
ing official can decide
whether the owner can or
cannot demolish. A licensed
contractor must understand
the parameters."
Because the county is ob-
ligated to determine whether
a contractor has liability in-
surance, workman's compen-
sation coverage for employ-
ees and a bond in the event of
problems, LeGay said bids for
difficult jobs can cost more.
"I only saw one bid Mrs.
Stratton obtained," he said,
"and when I called Cross
Construction, the manager
had no idea what was
involved. A contractor needs
to be told the whole story so
there is a reasonable likeli-
hood the job will get done.


Celebration of Life for VYC employee


BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
S Mf WRH


A Celebration of Life will be,
held for a veteran Venice
Yacht Club employee who
died last month after falling
off his bicycle.
Kenneth Sipple, 47, of
Osprey, was riding his bicycle
home about 6:30 p.m.,
according VYC General Man-
ager Dave Yarzab. He fell off
his bicycle and died the next
day at Venice Regional Center.
"We're holding the Cele-
bration on Monday, Aug. 27,
at noon," Yarzab said. "We are
normally closed Mondays but
we are staying open just for
this.
"There will be a light lunch
and yes, the family, present
and past employees, and any-
body whose life Kenny
touched is welcome."
Venice police confirmed
that Sipple was not hit by

a car.
Sipple was taken to the
hospital following the acci-
dent late Monday afternoon
(July 23). He was put on life
support. The family decided
to take him off life support
Tuesday noon after doctors
said there was no hope.
Sipple, aVYC employee for
29 years, had been at an
employee party at the yacht
club.
While it is not clear why


Sipple fell off his bike, Yarzab
said Sipple had not been
drinking.
"Kenny did not drink at
any of our parties," Yarzab
said.
"His mother said he was aller-
gic to alcohol, so we did not
let him drink."
Yazab said the medical
examiner was to perform an
autopsy because the death
was accidental.
The results of an autopsy


and toxicology report have
not been released yet.

I've supervised 280 demoli-
tions and no two are alike."
The county attached large
liens against Stratton's prop-
erty after both the 2003 and
'04 demolitions. They includ-
ed 10 percent annual interest
charges on the unpaid bal-
ance. Last month, Circuit
Judge Debra Riva piled on
another $60,000 at the coun-
ty's request for a new total of
$337,000.
Stratton, who has chal-
lenged the county's actions in
the Second District Court of
Appeal, recently indicated
she will not allow the county
to take away her beachfront
parcel.
"If necessary, I'll be able to
pay the liens from an equity
loan on the house I now live
in," she said.
Events that led up to the
demolitions and costly liens


began in 2001, when Stratton
bought the home from Dr.
Gordon Rubin and tried to
obtain both an historic desig-
nation for repairs and a
coastal setback variance for a
protective seawall. They were
denied.
In a 2004 lawsuit, Stratton's
attorney argued adverse rul-
ings by county commission-
ers against her requests
resulted in an "inverse con-
demnation" of her home, and
she should be reimbursed.
what it would have appraised
for if preserved.
Circuit Court Judge Becky
Titus ruled otherwise. She
stated Stratton both knew the
seaward portion of Solomon's
former twin-tower home was
damaged when she bought it,
and that county building offi-
cials had already posted it as
unsafe to live in.

OUR VIEW



make a difference


Over the next two-plus months, the
Gondolier Sun will feature a story
each Sunday promoting volun-
teerism in our community.
The kick-off story appears in this issue on
the front page of Our Town.
It's our major community service project
for the year.
We're proud to announce we've found a
wonderful partner in The Friendship
Volunteer Center this year to celebrate your
volunteer efforts, and to be the local host of
a special nationwide event called Make A
Difference Day.
It's Oct. 27, and we plan on celebrating it
in a big way in the Venice-Nokomis area.
It's a day when volunteers of all ages can
get out and make a difference by contribut-
ing to a project or cause, like cooking meals
for Meals On Wheels, or painting or sprucing


up an old house or community building,
cleaning up the beach, mentoring a child,
giving blood, planting a tree ... the list is
endless.
But. getting you involved on that day is
only a part of what we hope our effort
achieves.
Agencies and service organizations are
looking every day for people who want to
give of their time and talents for a worthy
cause.
And people like you are looking for ways
to help.
That's where The Friendship Volunteer
Center comes in. It matches volunteers with
volunteer opportunities.
To give you ideas on how to get involved,
and hopefully inspire you to action, each
week the Gondolier Sun will run a story
about a volunteer from your community


who is making a difference.
In addition, each Sunday we'll publish a
weekly Volunteer Events calendar that
includes upcoming local events and other
resources.
Local service clubs, nonprofit organiza-
tions, churches and businesses are encour-
aged to come up with their own volunteer
projects.
Let the people you come in contact with
know how they can improve the life of
another person, or participate in a meaning-
ful project for the betterment of the commu-

Make a friend
The Friendship Volunteer Center is


launching its own campaign to garner spon-
sors for Make A Difference Day.
Last year 1,374 volunteers on 49 teams pro-
vided more than 6,000 hours of service locally.
This year FVC is looking for 100 projects
throughout Sarasota County involving 1,500
volunteers.
You can sign up to be a team leader and
head up a project that volunteers help you
accomplish, or sign up to volunteer or get
your church or civic group to do a project.
Register your project online at friend
shipvolunteer.com or call 953-5965. We'll
help promote it.
We hope to hear from you.
Businesses, faith groups, families and
individuals are all taking part in making a
difference by volunteering. That is what this
special day is about ... and you can be part
of it.


Emotion and

I'M PRETTY SURE EVERYONE
IS BEHIND ME ON THE
SHOk t R RUNWAY IDEA...


BOB VEDDER
PUBLISHER

The airport charrette was
packed with some pretty dis-
traught people.
There were some who felt
we shouldn't even have had
the meeting. They wanted to
hold a referendum on whet-
her any development should
take place. Others expressed
feelings about a specific as-
pect of the project.
Of the 75 people partici-
pating, I would say 66 percent
to 75 percent were against
any development at all. Most
of those people lived on the
island. Of the 25 at my break-
out table, 18 were against
development of any kind.
Seven had an open mind or
were in favor of some devel-
opment.
Consultants opened the
charrette by showing the
three areas under considera-
tion for development; nearly
400-plus acres are available.
One is the 12-acre circus
arena site. The second is
along the intracoastal, includ-
ing parts of the area used for
festivals. The third is the golf
course and its adjoining land.
Themes were developed in
the groups; below are some
quotes from my group that
demonstrate the general
mood throughout the room.
"The views were ignored
from Envision Venice." This
person felt that the city would
do whatever it wanted any-
way.
"The process has been
flawed from the beginning.
You got the cart before the
horse." This related to devel-
opers presenting their plans
before the airport master plan
was approved by the city.
"The city has done a lot of
sneaky things over the years,"
said another attendee.
As you can see, there is a
great deal of distrust of the
city among some of its citi-
zens.
Others felt that the airport
was being made into a jetport
and that it's being done sort of
in the middle of the night,
when we are all sleeping.
In fact, a lady mentioned
that one Web site for a jet cen-
ter claimed it was "the fastest
growing jet center in South
Florida." Of course, going
from two jets to four would do
that, too. As one person said,
"Something got snookered on
us." This was because there
continues, erroneously, to be


the feeling that the airport
designation has been upgrad-
ed to handle bigger jets. That
is not the case.
There have been jets here
as long as I can remember.
Years ago they were the very
loud, old variety I see and
hear less of today.
I find it puzzling, however,
with no changes in runway
length or in kind or size of air-
craft, that we need to take
more of the airport, such as
the golf course.
Conditions have not
changed in all these years. We
should, as we have before, ask
for an exemption from the
Federal Aviation Admin-
istration for moving the safety
areas. It would be sad to lose
nine holes, possibly meaning
we would have to renegotiate
our golf course lease.
There was a strong sense,
that as one put it, we were
"losing John Nolen's vision,"
or "we are losing the things
we came here for," in refer-
ence to quaintness being
replaced by big buildings.
One person in the same vein
said the city is going "to kill
the goose that laid the golden
egg."'
There also was a feeling
that, the airport is beautiful
and should be left alone.
Other than walking the golf
course, I find almost nothing
beautiful about the airport
area. The Caspersen Beach
area, however, is beautiful.
The woman who repre-
sents hundreds of golfers was
at our table and certainly
articulated well why the golf
course was important to their
lifestyle. They like to be able
to walk and have an inexpen-
sive round, and they don't
need a fancy course to do that
on. That certainly is a legiti-
mate concern.
On the emotion side, it got
testy a couple of times. One
lady at our table doing her
two-minute speech said she
could see some development
and that growth was in-
evitable. Herb Levine, who
was sitting next to me, inter-
jected that he knew hundreds
of quaint towns around the
country that did not grow and
were financially stable. I won-
der how many were on the
gulf?
I told Herb he should
respect other peoples' opin-
ions, to which he retorted, "I
do not have to respect any-
one's opinion." Seemed typi-
cal and disrespectful, as
usual.
There were some who saw
a need for boating and a
marina, but it was also
brought out that it is 45 min-
utes to the gulf. However,
MarineMax is quite success-
ful nearby.
One very interesting point

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


A sign of things not to come


Editor:
I am a 30-plus-year Venice resident, business owner and tax-
payer.
Last month, I ran a weekend garage sale and placed two
signs worth $20 in front of my residence on West Venice
Avenue. By 10 a.m. on the first day, I noticed the signs were
missing. When I called city hall that morning I was informed
that a city employee in the "Compliance Department" had per-
sonally taken my signs and thrown them in a "secured garbage
can."
I told this employee and her manager, Hans Behrens, that I
wanted to have them returned. I followed up in the next few
weeks with three phone calls and e-mailed Mr. Behrens twice.
There has been no response from city hall.
First, I am displeased that the signs were taken without a
warning issued to me. The address was clearly written on each.
sign and I was outside my residence all day long.
Second, I am displeased that I was not given the option to
have my signs returned. I want my signs returned or the city
should reimburse me for my costs.
Third, I deserve a response to my phone calls and e-mails.
Taxpayers deserve better.

They need something
to believe in
Editor:
An all-volunteer military
serves many important func-
tions, the most important
being to serve as the last
check and balance against
possible tyranny. A corrupt'
political machine would be
powerless to follow its own
conquest without the consent
of the soldiers sent to build
the empire.
I firmly believe that in the
event of a truly righteous con-
flict where the right was firm-
ly on our side, the military
would have no problem filling
its ranks with brave and will-
ing service men and women. I
also believe that, conversely,
the moral qualms of our cur-
rent situation are best reflect-
ed by our military's inability


to stage an appropriate num-
ber of troops needed in order
to achieve success.
I do not believe this has
anything to do with cow-
ardice or a lack of patriotism.
I was not alive during the
Vietnam War, but I am old
enough to know that the
words "liberty" and "con-
scription" are antonyms. And,
also, that liberty is the only
thing that makes patriotism a
worthwhile endeavor.

During wartime,
we are all family
Editor:
I do not know if you are lib-
eral, conservative, indepen-
dent, Democrat, Republican
or what ever label you chose


to identify with. Americans
(true ones) must reflect the
fact that our "family" is at war
to protect us and prevent
what future generations of
Americans will have to deal
with the battle against free-
dom.
The war must be fought to
identify the fact that this great
country was created for the
people, for their rights and
yes, for their independence.
Those who oppose our
intervention in Iraq have
every right to oppose it and
the manner it was handled.
However, the most impor-
tant consideration is the total
support of those men and
women who are giving of
them-selves, because, as
Barry Goldwater once said,
"In your heart you know I am
right."
Those who oppose the war
should never oppose Amer-
ican soldiers, only pray for
and support them.
I do believe that a stand
must be taken, just as our
past bretheren stood tall and
created a democracy.
God bless America, home
of the brave.

Columns are
the archenemy
Editor:
You may have noticed
there are no $100,000 houses.
I guess a builder can't make
any money on such a cheap
house, but as you near
$200,000 you start to see a few
offerings.
These "starter homes" usu-
ally have two bedrooms, two


baths, a two-car garage and
often a pool. These cheap
homes are easy to spot. Each
one has an arch over the
entrance and two small
columns holding up some-
thing.
Those arches and columns
are what to look for.
As the houses get larger
and more expensive, you get
more and more columns and
arches. For $300,000 you will
have at least two arches,
maybe three; there may be
one over the garage. The
columns get bigger around
and taller. There will be at
least four of them.
At $400,000 three bed-
rooms, or four, are included,
and a three-car garage. There
are columns in front and
columns in back. Inside,
columns will hold up the pool
cage. There will be arches on
arches until the builder can't
find anywhere else to put one.
Between $500 grand and a
million dollars extra rooms
are added, and bedrooms and
baths are the size of a YMCA.
There are so many arches and
columns that buildings
resemble medieval castles
with everything but the moat.
(You can have one of those for
a little extra.)
Isn't it wonderful to realize
what average folks like us can
buy with just a few hundred
thousand?

Preparing a new generation for self-government


BY ANNETTE BOYD PITTS
GiE COLUIMT

Most Americans do not
understand our most basic
constitutional principles and
are disengaging from civic
and political life.
Voter turnout, especially
among young voters, contin-
ues to reflect an indifference
to the importance of partici-
pation in American democra-
cy.
In December 2005, the
Florida Bar conducted a poll
of Floridians to determine
public knowledge of basic
democratic principles. The'
results reinforced a national
poll conducted by the
American Bar Association.
Fewer than 60 percent of
adults could identify the three
branches of government,
even in a multiple choice test;
and less than half understood
the concepts of separation of
powers and checks and bal-
ances.
Even more recently, a
national survey conducted by.
the Annenberg Public Policy
Center at the University of
Pennsylvania found one-
third of adult Americans were
not able to identify even one
of the three branches of gov-
ernment.
Possibly even more trou-
blesome is the latest report
from the National Assess-
ment of Educational Progress
in its Civics Report Card.


NAEP is the only congres-
sionally mandated sampling
of student achievement in the
nation.
The 2006 test results,
which were released this May,
revealed serious deficiencies
among our nation's students.
The 2006 NAEP measured
the civic knowledge and skills
of fourth-, eighth- and 12th-
grade students nationally.
The assessment is organized
in three main components,
including civic knowledge,
intellectual skills and civic
dispositions. The assessment
found:
Only 28 percent of
eighth-graders could explain
the historic purpose of the
Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
Only 14 percent of
fourth-graders knew that
defendants have the right to a
lawyer.
Only 22 percent of
eighth-graders scored at or
above the "proficient" level.
Only 27 percent of 12th-
graders scored at or above the
"proficient" level.
While there is much to be
done to improve student
knowledge and skills in civics
and government, Florida is
making some progress.
As 'part of a nationwide
campaign to advance civics
and government in our public
schools the Florida Law
Related Education Assoc-
iation Inc. is working with the


Center for Civic Education
and the Campaign to
Promote Civic Education to
spearhead efforts in Florida.
Together with the League
of Women Voters, the Florida
Bar and Common Cause,
FLREA surveyed school dis-
tricts in Florida and found
that less than 10 percent
required the teaching of civics
and government as a stand-
alone course in middle
school.
Middle school became the
primary focus of efforts in the
Florida legislative campaign
last year. In 2006, the Florida
Legislature passed a require-
ment for students to take a
semester of. civics prior to
exiting eighth grade.
Standards and testing are
two major priorities during
2007 and will be for 2008.
New standards are being
developed for all social stud-
ies courses in Florida.
The Florida Department of
Education has assembled a
group of framers and writers
to develop standards and
benchmarks for all grade lev-
els. Civics and government is
one of the subject areas
addressed in the standards.
Awide range of groups and
individuals such as former
Sen. Bob Graham and former
Congressman Lou Frey are
spearheading efforts to
include civics and govern-
ment as an FCAT assessment
area.


Florida also has a number
of programs to assist school
districts in meeting the new
mandate and strengthen dis-
trict level civics and govern-
ment initiatives. FLREA
administers the "We the
People ... the Citizen and the
Constitution" curriculum and
mock congressional hearing
program in each of the state's
school districts.
The organization also
administers Project Citizen, a
companion program for mid-
Sdie school students to active-
ly engage in solving commu-
nity problems through public
policy. Other initiatives in the
state include academic com-
petitions, democracy camps,
professional development
institutes for teachers and
partnerships between the
judicial and education com-
munities to help to strength-
en school-based civic educa-
tion efforts.
These new public policy
initiatives are paving the
way for Florida to be in the
forefront of the nationwide
campaign to advance civics
and government in our
state's public schools and to
raise this valuable instruc-
tional area to its rightful sta-
tus.

Annette Boyd Pitts is the
founding executive director of
the Florida Law Related
Education Association Inc.


VEDDER from page 10A


:came out: People said the rev-
enue need had not been
explained well, as the airport
is in the black now. It was said
That about $64 million was
_needed over the next 20 years,
but no good description of
ywhy and when.
Jim Leis, who is on the
:Airport Advisory Board, said
he didn't know those num-
bers and the board hadn't
seen them. "If you don't know
them, then we are in real
trouble," someone replied.
. Many people felt the city
-hadn't looked hard enough at
other sources of revenue.
Better detail came out this
week that describes the need-
ed changes, and the FAA will
pay 94 percent of it, which
raises the question why the
need to develop other than to
meet some unmet communi-
ty needs.
There were comments
about noise, and many about
safety and the need to have
festival grounds. Several
thought we also should use
the airport for a solar field.
Certainly the environment
was mentioned by many peo-
ple. Some were legiti-
mate environmentalists while
some used it as a passionate
way to be against the project
though they wouldn't know a
scrub jay from a scrub
ballplayer.

I mentioned that our com-
munity had lost many water-
side restaurants and could
use one there, where there
could be plenty of parking.
Also, I said that there will be
few if any opportunities to
provide more boat space.
I mentioned that I know a
lot of people who want a nice
hotel near the water. We only
only have one and could use
another. And it is very unusu-
al for a community like ours


on the water not to have a
small conference center.
I also said these things
needed to be done in moder-
ation and in a charming way
to fit our community. I just
don't know if they can do
something in moderation.
This has to be done with the
golfers in mind, too.
James Dieffenweirth sug-
gested developing the blight-
ed circus area and seeing if
that is enough revenue to sat-


isfy the needs. If not go to
phase two. That was a fresh,
new idea.

on Dec. 8 after the election,

Bird Colony Islands Project begins
Sarasota residents and visitors will soon be seeing
a construction crane in the Intracoastal Waterway
as work begins orfthe Bird Colony Islands
Restoration Project. Sarasota County hopes to
reduce the ongoing erosion of the islands, which
are a prime nesting and resting spot for 11 species
.of wading birds and brown pelicans in Sarasota
Bay, with a 1,300-foot stone breakwater that will
stabilize the islands and allow them to flourish.
The first stage of restoration will be the relocation
of existing seagrass to a protected area. Then
a barge will transport rocks from a staging area
to the islands, where another barge with a crane
will place the rocks. Next, mangroves and marsh
grass will be planted between the islands and the
structure, providing a new and more stable habitat
for marine life that feeds on the seagrass."
For the safety of boaters and construction workers,
temporary "no wake" signs will be posted along
the Intracoastal Waterway near the project area.
The no wake zone will be monitored by marine law
enforcement and will remain in force throughout
construction.
The cost of the project will be funded entirely
by grants from the Southwest Florida Water
Management District and environmental fines
that, by law, must be used only for restoration or
mitigation (repair) projects.
For more information about the project, contact
the Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000.
Updates on the project will be available at scgov.
net. Click on "Environmental Issues" and then on
the Bird Colony Spoil Islands link.

From one Venice to the other



Travels to European Global Challenge


BY DEBBIE KIEWIET
SPORTS EDITOR

Venice High senior Nickie
Halbert recently returned
from the trip of a lifetime. In
May, Halbert found out that
she had been picked to play
with the Junior National
High Performance Volleyball
Team from Florida at the
Second Annual European
Global Challenge in Pula,
Croatia.
Nick Cheronis, volleyball
coach at the University of
Florida and one of the coach-
es of the Junior National
Team, saw Halbert play at a
club tournament in Dallas
and was impressed with
what he saw. A two-time all-
state player, she has been a
varsity setter for Venice High
for three years.
Halbert, who had never
been overseas before, was
surprised and excited to be
invited to play on the team.
Wouldn't miss it
Her mom, Pam, was one
of three parents who went
along on the trip. "She's only
missed one of my games
since I was in fifth grade,"
Halbert said. "She wasn't
about to miss this."
After several practices in
Tampa, the Junior National
Team flew to Philadelphia
and left there July 20th on a
nine-hour flight to Italy. The
team got in some practice
time the next day and then
spent several hours sight-
seeing in the other Venice.
The next morning the group
took a 4 1/2 hour ride in a
bus with no air-condition-
ing to Pula, Croatia, to start
play.
ieams in the four-day
Global Challenge were from


Germany, Bosnia, Montene-
gro and Serbia, as well as
California and Texas. Hal-
bert, who shared setting time
and played several other
positions, was one of the few
high school players at the
tournament. "There were
some really good teams
there, and a lot of good play-
ing," she said.
The Florida team beat the
No. 1 seed in their pool the
first day of the tournament
and finished fifth overall.
"It was interesting to play
with other girls," Halbert
said. "Now I know what it'll
be like in college."
No sand
While in Pula, on the
Adriatic Sea, the Florida
group, naturally, headed for
the beach. Halbert said the
coast was very rocky, didn't
have any sand but instead
had large, smooth pebbles
beneath the warm, clear
water.
After the tournament,
Halbert and her mother
stayed in Europe an extra
week, touring Rome and
returning to Venice, Italy,
where they saw the pigeons
in St. Mark's Square and took
the requisite gondola ride. In
Rome they went to the
Colosseum "I loved the
Colosseum" the Trevi
Fountain, the Spanish steps
and the Vatican, which she
described as "one of the most
amazing things ever." Her
high school Spanish was
helpful in Italy, but not in
Croatia.
"Croatian is a really, hard
language to pick up on," she
said. "I could understand some
of the things they were saying
in Italian, but I couldn't speak'
it. In Venice and Rome, a lot of


people know how to speak
English, so we didn't really have
any problems.
"It helped a lot that I was
over there forvolleyball," said
Halbert, who admitted she
gets homesick easily. "It was a
comfort zone. It was some-
thing that I knew. It was nice
to have something over there
that I could clutch on to. It's
something I love. It's part of
my life."
Simple things
On Aug. 6th, Halbert was
back in Venice (Florida) with
two days to catch up on her
sleep before tryouts.
"The main thing I got out
of the trip," Halbert said, "is
that we don't realize what we
have here. We take simple
things for granted."
Her only regret is that the
trip prevented her from
going to team camp at
Auburn University with her
VHS teammates. "I've been
playing with these same girls

varsity and junior varsity
teams each earned numer-
ous superior ribbons during

award is voted on by all
teams at the camp.
The Venice varsity team
won the coveted Herkie Team
Award, named after NCA
founder L.R. Herkimer. The
award is given to the team
that exemplifies the qualities
upon which NCA is based:
leadership, values and team-
work.


Competing against other
junior varsity teams, the
Venice J.V team won the
Champion Chant Team
award, which is based on
technical skills and ability to
lead a crowd.
Both teams were awarded
bids to compete at the NCA
Senior High School National
Championship in Dallas,
Texas. Bids to the national
competition are based on
technical skill and cheerlead-
ing technique.

riculum, NCA selects individ-
ual award winners as well as

You can make a difference in the life
of someone or help an organization that
desperately needs it.
If you have a special skill or already
know how you could be of assistance,
call a local volunteer organization like
Meals On Wheels, Big Brothers Big
Sisters, United Way or your local church
to find out more about how your actions
can touch the lives of others.
Remember, volunteering doesn't have
to be a full-time job. You can volunteer
for a short period, or for a specific pro-
ject until its completion perhaps only
for an hour a week. .


Help clean up an elderly neighbor's
home, visit residents at an assisted living
facility, plant a tree, pick up trash at a
local beach or park, mentor a child or
join someone else's project.
If you're unsure howyou can help, but
want to get involved, visit the Friendship
Volunteer Center at: friendshipvolun
teer.com or call (941) 953-5965.
The center will help connect you with
a needy organization or put you in con-
tact with another agency to help you find
your niche.
Get involved ... and make a differ-
ence.

Connie Mantkowski of the Venice Church of the Nazarene packs bags with food in preparation for.
the next Manna Ministry Sunday service.

caring people.
Connie Man-
tkowski is one of
those people.
"I mpved here in 1975
and was living on Siesta'
Key," she said. "My parents
weren't millionaires but we
always had food on the
table. I learned there was a
soup kitchen in downtown
Sarasota."
She also learned there
were homeless people who,
during the winter, would
sleep below city hall.
"Here we were in one of
the wealthiest counties in
the country," she said.
She could not dispel the
thought from her mind,
even when she moved to
Venice in 1980. Eventually
she learned about a pro-
gram that provided food for
needy singles and families
in Sarasota.
The program was at the
First Church of the
Nazarene on Fruitville
Road. That church is a sister
church to the Venice
Church of the Nazarene
where Mantkowski was a
member.
Soon, she was going to
Sarasota every Sunday
evening, participating in its
Manna Ministry, which
offers "free food for the
body and soul."
This spring she


approached Dave Shore,
the senior pastor at the
Venice church, about copy-
ing the program in Venice.
With his blessing, she met
with Pastor Kirk Zahniser at
the Sarasota church to learn
all about setting up a pro-
gram in Venice.
"Pastor Kirk and Doris
met with me and spent
time and I wrote it all down
and then we asked for vol-
unteers here," she said.
She ended up with 70
volunteers, from which she
formed eight different com-
mittees and appointed a
coordinator for each com-
mittee.
"That is a lot, especially


in the summer when so
many members are away,"
she said.
The she made up flyers
and delivered them to a
variety of agencies in the
area, including the Women's
Resource Center, SPAARC
(Safe Place and Rape Crisis*
Center), AA and Al-Anon
groups, Habitat, Pregnancy
Solutions, Our Mother's
House,,the Fishers of Men
Soup Kitchen, DeVita
Dialysis, Florida Cancer
Specialists and 21st Century
Oncology on Venice
Avenue. ;
"I knew someone several
years ago whose husband
had to go through.treat-


ments and he couldn't
work," she said. "They
needed food and I figured
there might be a lot of peo-
ple like that.
"We are trying to reach
out into the community to
reach people who need
help."
The Venice Church of the
Nazarene volunteers went
to the Sarasota church one
Sunday and ran the pro-
gram as a trial run for its
own food program.
Manna Ministries
Sunday, Aug. 5, the
Venice Church of the
Nazarene began Manna
Ministries, offering free
food for the body and soul.
"We had seven people,
including a baby at the first
service," Mantkowski said,
"We think that is a good
start."
Each Sunday, from 5:30-7
p.m., the church will offer a
worship service designed to
draw people closer to God,
followed by a distribution of
food.
"The service is very casu-
al," program director
Mantkowsi said. "People

Humanity to the Venice Church of the Nazarene's Manna Ministry program.


can wear shorts or jeans. I
even wear jeans in the
morning.
"After the service, those
in need of food will be
taken into the fellowship
hall in groups of 10. There,
volunteers will help them
fill boxes and bags with the
food they need."
When the people register
before the service, they are
given blue tickets if they
arrive with their families or
white tickets if they come
alone. They are given food
according to how many
people they bring to the
6 p.m. service.
Some extra items are put
on an exchange table. After
everyone has been given a
bag of food and looked
through it, they can return
to the distribution room
and trade items, volunteer
Frank Young said.
Additional help came
from area businesses and
organizations.
The Publix Super Market
at Venice Commons
pledged food from two
nights at that store. Pannera
Bread pledged food from
two nights at its restau-
rant/bakery. Bob Evans
donated shopping bags
with handles and Cracker
Barrel offered large paper
grocery bags.
All Faiths Food Bank will
supply much of the food.
For the first week, it donat-
ed several whole chickens,
Shore said.
"Habitat for Humanity in
Venice provided two refrig-
erators for food storage,"
Mantkowski said. "Brian
Dickerson gave them to us."
Dickerson is the director
of Habitat's ReStore Home
Center, which sells furniture
and accessories, plants and
garden accessories, cabi-
netry, flooring, windows
and doors and even lumber
plus office supplies and
hardware items. Some is
new, some used, some dis-


continued. Proceeds sup-
port the work of Habitat,
which provides houses for
people who might not be
able to otherwise afford a
new h6use, recycles build-
ing materials and keeps
valuable items out of land-
fills.
"Waterford Homes
donated money and cabi-
nets," she said. "They said
the cabinets were from
models and that they didn't
match but we don't care.
They are beautiful cabinets
and will last us a long time."
Sharkys On The Pier
donated plastic dinnerware,
which the Manna Ministry
volunteers will include with
food given to all homeless
people.
"We also have little can
openers to give to them,"
Mantkowski said. "It would
be a shame to give some-
one canned goods; which
they had no way to open."
* People who come to the
service will usually get
enough food for a few days
and after everyone has
been served, if there is food
left, they can go back for
more.
"We'd like to add a baby
comer where mothers can
get diapers and formula,"
she said.
And a year from now, she
hopes they can add a
school comer and then
eventually a clothing cor-
ner, she added.
"We are gong to start
slowly with just the food at
first," she said, "and slowly
work into everything else.
We have got to keep doing
more."
Those wishing to donate
to the program should
make checks payable to:
Venice Church of the
Nazarene "Manna
Ministry." Mail to Venice
Church of the Nazarene,
1535 E. Venice Ave., Venice,
34292. To learn more, call

FINE WHINES

Long live the real king


from Ecineville
I -


BY TED RANK
SFF ESCmTR


Hang on to your sanity,
ladies and gentlemen. It's
time for News from
Ecineville.
Nothing happened in
Ecineville the last two days.
That's nothing.
No one can remember,
anything that occurred
Friday or Saturday.
"The last thing I remem-
ber, I went to sleep
Thursday night and then I
remember waking up this
morning," said Catlann
Duhraldo, who was at
Denton's Donuts and
Coffee a-Go-Go Shop at.
2438763 N.W. 48th St. East
Northwest Avenue..
Ecineville Police were
going door to door to see if
anyone could remember'
anything about Friday or
Saturday.
Our local TV station's
WAIF Action News team
has reporters combing the
area looking for anyone
who may have a wild rumor
or unfounded conjecture as
to what happened, so they
can break into their regular
programming and report it
as a possible answer to the
mystery.
A scientist who contact-
ed city officials said there is
precedent for this event


and offered a theory why it
happens.
This reporter contacted
Professor Linda Toeholden
at her University of
Taylorville office in
Taylorville, Minn.
"Oh yes, this phenome-
non has happened dozens
of times, and probably
many more times when it
went unreported," said
Toeholden.
"You see it's possible in
some small towns people
just wake up one day, hav-
ing skipped two days and
just gone about their lives
without it ever coming into
anyone's consciousness
that two days have been
missed," said Toeholden.
"There is a theory of why
it happens: It's known as
the Human Living Blockage
theory," said Toeholden.
According to the profes-
sor, people in a small town
reach a point one day when
they can't think of anything
to do.
A painter can't think of
anything to paint.
A carpenter can't think of
anything to build.
A bus driver can't think
of where he wants to drive.
A writer can't think of
anything to write.
Human Living Blockage
theory.
The theory states that, in
a method similar to mass


hysteria, a large group of
people even perhaps an
entire town sleeps for
one or two days due to a
blockage in their ability to
think of anything to do.
S'According to the profes-
sor, in a large group or a
small town there is some
evidence to indicate that
'before everyone does noth-
ing for one or two days, a
small core of people who
are carriers of Human
Living Blockage do nothing
day after day and that oth-
ers in the group or town
watching these individuals
may be infected, and,
hence, Human Living
Blockage occurs to the
entire group or town.
But, as the professor
said, it's just a theory.
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,
remember, it's all good here
in Ecineville.

Barry Bonds, steroid user,
is Major League Baseball's,
new home run king, and-' I
can't figure out how I feel
about that.
It ought to be easy to dis-
count his achievement. I
rarely have trouble making up
my mind; "often wrong, but
never in doubt" is my motto.
And I'm a huge (no fat
jokes, please) baseball fan,
largely because baseball is a
game of tradition peopled by
larger-than-life figures (figu-
ratively speaking) whose ex-
ploits are still' the stuff of
debate: Who was the better.
hitter? Which records proba-
bly won't be broken? Who
does or doesn't belong in the
Hall of Fame?.
Finally, my all-time fav-
orite ,player is Hank Aaron,
the man whose record Bonds
broke. He entered profession -
al baseball not long after the
color barrier was shattered
and, 20 years later when he
was threatening Babe Ruth's
record, he persevered in spite
of death threats.
Bonds is, by. most ac-



Your Town Over Easy

Tavares and other unnamed
co-conspirators.


counts, a very angry and arro-
gant man, while Aaron, with
far greater reason to be, is not.
Then, of course, there is
the issue of steroids.
. No hint of scandal ever
tainted Aaron, let alone an
allegation that illegal sub-
stances enhanced his ability
to hit a baseball. In the twi-
light of his career any extra
bulk was the natural result of
aging.
Bonds, on the other hand,
has acknowledged using
steroids unknowingly, he
says, pointing out he's never
failed a drug 'test. As great a
'player as he was before bulk-
ing up, he' was never consid-
ered a candidate to catch
Aarone. But almost unique
among players in the history
of any sport, he got better and
better and bigger and big-
ger when he should have
been past his prime. He hit 73
homers in 2001, when he was
37. He's hit 190 since then (as
I write this) and that includes
a year in which he only played
14 games.
And yet...
The benefits of steroids to
some players in some sports
seem obvious. A football line-


man who adds 30 pounds 0f
muscle is going to be a better
blocker than he was. A boxer
could move up in weight
class, train harder and pack i
heavier punch.
Bonds would certainly er-
joy the quicker recovery time
from exertion that steroids
provide. And more muscle
could turn some fly balls into
home runs.
But I'm skeptical the
steroids Bonds took made it
easier for him to hit a basq-
ball, a singularly difficult feat.
They didn't improve his feel
for the strike zone. They didn't
make the batter behind hih
better, increasing the risk ofia
run being scored after walk-
ing Bonds. They might n9t
have even balanced out the
steroids some of the pitchers
facing him were taking.
And there are lots of play-
ers in the Hall of Fame known
to have cheated, who even
admitted to cheating just
not through chemical en-
hancement.
So I guess Bonds is home
run champion. But he's no
Hank Aaron.

Roughing it: The more fiber in your diet the better


SJIM MILLER
SAVVY SENIOR

SDear SavvySenior,
I recently read an article about
ie amazing health benefits of eat-
ng a high fiber diet. What can you
ell me about this, how much fiber
'oes one actually need to get, and
which foods offer the best source
of fiber? All-Bran Betty
Dear Betty,
Fiber has always been an
importantt part of a healthy
diet, but lately, it's been get-
ting a lot more attention.
Here's what you should know.
Fabulous fiber
Fiber does a lot more than
just keep us regular. Research
shows that it can also help
lowei your cholesterol, and
'teduce your risk of heart dis-
-ease, diabetes, high blood
pressure and gastrointestinal
-problem's like constipation,
!hemorrhoids, diverticulitis
-nd irritable bowel syn-
kdrome. Fiber can even help
;you keep your weight in
-4heck by making you feel full.
New research, however, indi-
cates that it does not protect
igainst colorectal cancer or
polyps.


Found only in plant foods
(see nationalfibercouncil.org
for a list of high-fiber foods),
fiber is the part of the plant
that humans can't digest. It's
either soluble (which helps
you absorb nutrients from
food and slows digestion) or
insoluble (which helps food
pass through the intestines).
Most plant foods are a mix of
both fibers. Animal products,
such as meat, cheese and
eggs, don't contain fiber.
Bulk up
Unfortunately, most
Americans don't get enough
fiber in their diet. Current
recommendations call for
adults to get anywhere from
21 to 38 grams of fiber each
day. Yet the average
American eats only about
half that amount. Here are
some tips that can help you
work more fiber into your
diet:
Follow the pyramid: Use
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's food pyramid
(see www.mypyramid.gov) as
your dietary guide. If you eat
two to four servings of fruit,
three to five servings of veg-
etables, and six to 11 servings
of cereal and grain foods, as
recommended, you should
have no trouble getting 25 to
30 grams of fiber a day.
Read the labels: Almost
all labels on food products
will tell you the amount of
dietary fiber in each serving.
Foods claiming to be."high
in" fiber must contain at least
5 grams of fiber per serving;
and foods claiming to be a


"good source" must have at
least 2.5 grams per serving.
Also check the labels to avoid
foods high in saturated fats
and sodium.
Eat cereal: Start the day
with a whole-grain cereal
that contains at least 5 grams
of fiber per serving. Or eat
oatmeal or other whole-grain
hot cereal. If you want to
make it a breakfast of cham-
pions, top it off with some
wheat germ, oat bran,
ground flax seed, nuts,
raisins, yogurt, bananas or
berries, all great sources of
fiber.
Get whole: Buy 100 per-
cent whole grain breads,
cereals, crackers, tortillas,
pastas as well as whole grain
flour to bake with. Opt for
brown rice instead of white
rice. And try barley, buck-
wheat, bulgur, quinoa, wheat
berries and other whole
grains.
Eat beans: Add more
beans to your chili, soups
and atop salads and pasta.
Choose bean and lentil
soups. And try hummus and
bean dips instead of cheese
or sour cream dips.
Stop peeling: Eat the
skins of your potatoes,
apples, pears and other fruits
and vegetables. Also note
that whole fruits contain
much more fiber than fruit
juices.
Snack smart: Popcorn,
whole-grain pretzels and
crackers are all good fiber
snacks. Dried fruit, such as
apricots and prunes, as well
as fresh fruit and raw vegeta-


bles also provide a high fiber
option.
Take a supplement: Fiber
supplements are another
way to get some additional
fiber into your diet, but don't
substitute it for fiber rich
foods. (Note: Some fiber sup-
plements can interfere with
prescription medications.
Check with your doctor.)
Savvy tips
When adding fiber to your
diet, it's best to do so gradu-
ally to allow your digestive
system to adjust, and be sure
to drink plenty of water too.
Water helps your body
process the added fiber you
eat. Otherwise the extra fiber
can make you constipated.
Stroke alert
Dear Savvy Senior,
What are the risk factors and
symptoms of a stroke? My 74-year-
old father had a stroke a few
months ago and neither he nor
mom had a clue what was happen-
ing. What can you tell us? -
Caretaking Karen
Dear Karen,
Stroke is the third leading
cause of death in the United
States and the No. 1 cause of
disability, yet many
Americans can't name a sin-
gle stroke symptom. Here's
what you should know.
What is a stroke?
Every year, around 750,000
Americans suffer a stroke
(see stroke.org). A stroke
happens when a blood vessel
that supplies blood to the
brain is suddenly blocked by


a clot (ischemic stroke), or
burst (hemorrhagic stroke)
causing brain damage. About
80 percent of strokes are
ischemic. But the good news
is that most strokes can be
prevented by knowing and


controlling the risk factors.
Stroke factors
There are many factors
(some you can't change and

levels of cholesterol can clog
arteries and cause a stroke or
heart attack. High cholesterol
can usually be controlled with
diet, exercise and medication.
Diabetes: The risk of
stroke doubles in people with
diabetes. There are more than
5 million Americans with type
2 diabetes and don't know it.
Get tested!
Atrial fibrillation: 3 to 5
percent of people over 65
have atrial fibrillation, a heart
rhythm disorder that increas-
es stroke risk. Find out from
your doctor if you have it.
Obesity. Being over-
weight increases your chance
of developing high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis and
diabetes all of which
increase stroke risk.'
Alcohol: While one or two
drinks a day slightly reduces
risk of stroke, excessive drink-
ing (more than three drinks a
day) increases risk.
Screenings
If you're older than age 60
or have other risk factors, get-
ting screened for vascular dis-
eases is a smart way to help
prevent a stroke. Here are
some convenient services
you should know about.
Legs for Life: A public


education national screening
program that provides free
vascular screenings (through-
out September) at hundreds
of hospitals and clinics across
the country but require an
appointment. See legsfor
life.org to find a screening site
near you.
Society for Vascular Sur-
gery: Offers free screenings at
around 150 sites nationwide.
See vascularweb.org or call
(800) 258-7188.
Life Line Screening: A pri-
vate company that offers
screening tests for $45 at
14,000 sites nationwide. Visit
lifelinescreening.com or call
(800) 697-9721.
Stroke symptoms
Every minute counts when
it comes to treating a stroke.
Clot-dissolving drugs used to
treat ischemic strokes can
save lives and greatly reduce
disability, if given within three
hours after symptoms ap-
pear. If you're having or you
see someone else having
symptoms of a stroke, call 911
immediately. Symptoms in-
clude:
Sudden numbness, weak-
ness, or paralysis of the face,
arm, or leg on one side of the
body.
Sudden vision problems
in one or both eyes, such as
dimness, blurring, double
vision, or loss of vision.
Unexplained dizziness,
loss of balance or trouble
walking.
Sudden confusion, trouble
speaking or understanding.
Severe headache with no
known cause, possibly ac-
companied by vomiting.
Savvy notes.
Mini-strokes (temporary
blockage of blood flow to the
brain) fool a lot of people
because the symptoms (simi-
lar to a full-blown stroke) go
away. But recognizing them
and seeking medical help is
crucial because mini-strokes
are strong predictors of a
more serious stroke to come.

No pet is too


small to learn


DR. ANNE CHAUVET
ASK THE VET

Q. My girlfriend has a
Yorkie that is still not potty
trained after four years. She
heard that Yorkies have
brains that are too small to
be trained. Is that accurate?
Greg
A. It is true that many
small breed dogs are harder
to train overall, and that can
be true of Yorkshire Terriers
as well. Dachshunds also are
notorious for being accident
prone. I am not sure it has
anything to do with brain
size because, for its stature, a
Yorkie's brain size is just fine.
Everything is relative!
Dogs need early training
with lots of positive rein-
forcement to become
"potty savvy." The training
must avoid the undesired
behavior and redirect the
dog to more positive behav-
iors. Correcting poor potty
training is a tough one, but it
is very possible.
The best method I know,
which has worked for my
dog, is to use a medium size
crate where the dog can lay
comfortably. Leave the dog


there unless someone is
actively interacting with him.
As soon as you take him out
of the crate, put him on a
leash and take him outside.
When he does his "duty,"
praise him immediately by
saying "good potty" or "good
dog," and reward him with a
treat. Take the dog outside
every three or four hours for
a few days, especially after
eating. Make sure the dog
gets plenty of walking.
Consistency is key and perse-
verance rules. Over time, the
dog can spend more and
more hours outside the crate
until, eventually, the crate is
no longer needed. Often you
will find that the dog likes the
crate and will continue to go
in it regularly.
Some dogs can urinate
inside the house out of spite
if owners are absent or there
is some other disturbance. If
that is the case, or if you just
need help with the training,
there are a number of excel-
lent animal behaviorists and
dog trainers in town who can
help you.

FRESH AIR


Encounters with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins


LARRY ALLAN
FRESH AIR COLUMNIST,
ust about any
time we go out
into Gulf waters in
a boat, we're likely
-to be joined for part of our
,excursion by Atlantic bot-
tlenose dolphins. They love to
swim in a boat's bow wave, it
seems.
Small, toothed "whales,"
bottlenose dolphins have a
long, beak-like snout (ros-
trum), which gives them their
common name. They also are
i recognized by a dorsal fin
that's sickle-shaped. They
breathe through a blowhole
,on top of their heads. As
mammals, they must surface
at least every five to eight
minutes for air. Bottlenose
dolphins can grow to be 12
feet long, live in small groups
(pods), and have sharp teeth.
They are, after all, predators.
They favor eating fish'and
squid, most often found at
the water's surface. I've seen
dolphins "whack" fish. stun-
ning their prey with their tails
(flukes) to make catching the
fish easier. They're known to
herd a school of fish into shal-
low Water to make it easier to
catch them. In turn, dolphins
are preyed on by some shark


phins can't move their jaws to
any other position. The
"smile" is just part of their
appearance. In fact, my friend
Ric O'Barry wrote a book,
Behind the Dolphin Smile, in
which he decries the way
many dolphins are treated in
captivity. For instance, just
imagine how confusing it
would be to you if you heard
sounds coming from all
directions at once, as hap-
pens to captive dolphins
echolocating in circular, con-
crete pools. Over time, cap-
tive dolphins turn off their
echolocation ability. Some
facilities, like Discovery Cove,
I believe provide humane
environments for captive dol-
phins, and superb learning
experiences for humans.


PHOTO COURTESY OF LARRY ALLAN
Known for their friendliness toward humans, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have been known to rescue
human divers by pushing them upward to the surface, a behavior they also exhibit with injured dol-
phins.They've earned the title, "Man's best friend of the sea."


species and some orcas.
Bottlenose dolphins can
live 25 years in the wild. Like
other members of the greater
whale family, dolphins swim
by moving their tails up and
down. Be contrast, fish swim
by moving their tails side to
side. But you knew that, I sus-
pect.
Bottlenose dolphins are
found all 'round the world -
in tropical and temperate
waters. You won't find them in
the Arctic or Antarctic,
though other dolphin species


(there are 40) are found there.
I've also enjoyed the compa-
ny of black and white Pacific
white-sided dolphins swim-
ming in the bow wake of my
boat in Alaska.
Perhaps the most fascinat-
ing attribute of dolphins is
their use of echolocation.
They send a high-pitched
clicking sound and sense
(hear) those sounds as they
bounce back off surrounding
objects like prey. This uni-
que ability is somewhat like
sonar. Dolplhins Yi fhilf


make quite a variety of
sounds, which probably most
of us have heard on TV shows.
Dolphins have small ear
holes behind their eyes, but
most of the returning echoes
are transmitted to the inner'
ear through their lower jaws.
Dolphins can increase or
decrease the intensity of the
sounds they send out, de-
pending on the distance to the
object they're echolocating.
And then there's that dol-
phin "smile. 'Jt doesn't mean
' that mth ic* dol-


Ric has spent years trying
to get people to understand
what they were doing to cap-
tive dolphins for commercial
purposes. He argues, "Dol-
phins are free-ranging, intelli-
gent, and complex animals,
and they belong in the
oceans, not playing the clown
in our human schemes."
Living in such close prox-
imity to bottlenose dolphins
is certainly one of the plusses
of our Southwest Florida
location. I know I have thor-
oughly enjoyed every single
encounter I've had with this
marvelous species.

Vivante wins Aurora Award for Boca Lago design


PHOTO FROM NANCY ANDREAE
An aerial of Vivante development and the lush surroundings was taken during development.


STAFF REPORT
Vivante, a luxury condomini-
um community located on
Charlotte Harbor, was given an
Aurora Award at the Southeast
Builders Conference in July 14
in Orlando.
The Aurora Awards honor
the best in new home con-
struction and design within a
12-state region.
Vivante was recognized for
its Boca Lago neighborhood,
which was completed in May.
Poole and Poole Architecture
designed the community' to
resemble a Spanish seaside
village. At the heart of the
project is a 17,000-square-foot
clubhouse, which resembles a


town square, complete with a
clock tower.
Beyond the clubhouse are
courtyards with outdoor
fireplaces, quaint bridges,
colonnaded promenades,
gazebos and fountains. Span-
ish Baroque architectural
details further enhance the
theme and include Solomonic
cord columns, scalloped
parapets, balconettes and clay
tile roofs.
Each of the two- and three-
bedroom residences has an
open floor plan, large lanai
and private covered garage.
Vivante, a luxury Mediter-
ranean-style community
located in Punta Gorda, is


being developed by the Bove
Company and Stock Develop-
ment. It offers two- and three-
bedroom condominium
homes priced from the low
$300,000s to more than $1
million.
Vivante offers five furnished
models with 1,400 to 3,300
square feet of air-conditioned
living space. Each residence
offers views of surrounding
lakes, nature preserves and
Charlotte Harbor. The Vivante
onsite sales center is located at
2950 West Marion Ave. in
* Punta Gorda.

Environmentally friendly homes are a thing of the present


STAFF REPORT
The Aurora Awards
regional design competition
honored environmentally
friendly, newly constructed
homes and developments
with Grand Awards during
the recent Southeast Build-
ing Conference in Orlando.
"Builders and utility
companies, working togeth-
er, combined their talents
and resources to create
award-winning homes that
are environmentally friend-
ly," said Michele Harrison, a
Naples builder and 2007
Aurora Awards Chair. "Their
achievements are highlight-
ed with,,the Aurora Award to
display their distinction
within the home building
industry."
The Grand Aurora Awards
were presented to compa-
nies that incorporated
energy efficiency, water
conservation, solar energy,
and green building practices
into their new home con-
struction projects. The
homes serve as models for
other builders to gain
knowledge and techniques
to emulate in the future.
Home-building profes-
sionals in a 12-state South-
east region received awards
for new home construction
and design excellence
during an industry gala.
The Grand award-winning
environmentally-friendly
homes are:
