City Manager Marty Black
confirmed this week the air-
port master plan is on hold
until further notice.
He's working with city
council, airport staff and con-
sultant MEA-Hanson to pin
down answers from the
Federal Aviation Administra-
tion on whether there is an
alternative that would keep
the Venice Municipal Airport's
proposed runway protection
zones completely within air-
port property.
Black did not say when he
anticipated the FAA would
respond, but said it could be
months.
He wants clarification on
whether safety zones on run-
way aprons can be .modified.
He's seen recent FAA corre-'
spondence that says no mod-
ifications will be granted in
safety zones, .but the FAA did
so when it recently repaved
runway 4-22.
He also wants to know
what kind of alternatives
there are that could keep
RPZs on airport grounds.
MEA-Hanson previously
discussed break-away barri-
ers in use at some airports,
but said they're expensive.
Instead, it's recommending
the city seek waivers to allow
the airport RPZs to encroach
upon Golden Beach and Gulf
Shores homes, as they have
for years.
Last week Council Mem-

ber John Moore raised his
own concern with RPZs over
residential neighborhoods.
Black aired the same con-
cerns this week.
"Is the (safe-
ty) standard
really valid if
50 percent of

given a devia-
tion?" he ask-
ed, referring
to waivers the
FAA routinely
Black grants to al-
low existing
residences to
remain within what are rela-
tively new, expanded safety
areas at the end of runways.
"The FAA has promised us
a position paper on this,"
Black said. "It will take several
months to present the ques-
tions."
Insertion
Also this week, a national
pilot support organization
has come out against shorter
runways at Venice Municipal
Airport.
The Aircraft Owners and
Pilots Association sent a letter
to City Manager Marty Black
asking city leaders to- refrain
from any attempts to do
reduce the runways.

tants working on the ... mas-

Owner scrams

after dog attacks

Goodwill manager

BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER

A 52-year-old Goodwill
Industries assistant man-
ager is undergoing painful
rabies shots because an
irresponsible dog owner
refused to come forward.
Wednesday, Aug. 15,
9:30 a.m., Paige Belser, at
the Nokomis Goodwill
store, went outside to talk
to a woman in a blue pick-
up truck.
The woman wanted to
donate a large wooden
entertainment center she
had in the back of the truck.
. "We couldn't accept fur-
niture at our store, so I was
standing by' the open pas-
senger-side window ges-
turing, giving her directions
to our Venice store," Belser
said. "I saw the dog in the
passenger seat leap
through the window.
"I looked at my hand
and said to the woman,
'Your dog just ate my
thumb.'"
Belser said the woman
burst into tears.
Belser described the
black-and-white dog as
medium size and said she
was standing about 18

Council cuts funding, overtime pay

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Venice City Council mem-
bers this week took action on
a variety of relatively minor
items within the city's $15
million budget.
They cut funds for com-
munity organizations totaling
$25,000, put a lid on overtime
pay for police and fire depart-
ment support duty, increased
pay for two management
positions and eliminated two
others.
The board worked off a list
of recommendations provid-
ed by Council Member Jim
Woods, who is up for re-elec-
tion.
After giving charter officers
City Manager Marty Black,
City Clerk Lori Stelzer, and
City Attorney Bob Anderson
positive evaluations, the
board voted to increase their
pay or financial package.
Black's pay will be in-
creased to $155,500 with two
more weeks of leave. Stelzer's
pay will increase to $98,000.
Anderson didn't request an
increase in his hourly rate,
but did ask to be placed
under the city's health plan.
Council had no problem with
that, especially since he was-
n't asking for a pay raise.
But the discussion did
bring to light that the assis-
tant city attorney, who is nei-
ther a city employee nor a
charter officer, already re-
ceives the same health bene-

John Simmonds said he didn't

Sarasota County laid off 27
employees Tuesday as part of
the latest response to recent
budget cuts mandated by the
State Legislature.
"We're losing some really
great people and it hurts,"
said County Commissioner
-Shannon Staub. "I hope those
who have lost their jobs will
think kindly enough of the
county to come back when
things turn better and we
have openings."
The 27 firings were distrib-
uted across nine county de-
partments including:
Parks & Recreation: 10
Libraries: two
Communications: one
Environmental Services:
one
Financial Planning: six
Planning & Development
Services: two
County Administration:
one
Transit: three
Health & Human Serv-
ices: one
'"At this point we're antici-
pating that we'll go into fiscal
year 2008 with 120-140 less
full-time equivalents," said
Warren Richardson, county
communications manager.

GREEN SHEETS..................5B

A full-time equivalent
means any combination of
part-time positions totaling
40 hours per week. For exam-
ple, two employees working
20 hours each would equal
one full-time equivalent.
Bob Reddy, Sarasota Coun-
ty public works communica-
tions associate, got the news
he was laid off after just over
one year on the job.
"It wasn't expected, not at
all," Reddy said. "Looks like I
was low man on the totem
pole. I don't know what to do
now. Guess I'll be looking for
a new job."
To the bone
In a. memorandum to
county employees, County
Administrator Jim Ley ex-
pressed his sadness at mak-
ing the cuts.
"It is really hard to say
goodbye to people who have
made positive contributions
to Sarasota County Govern-
ment," Ley wrote. "I have per-
sonally struggled with this
decision and know first-hand
that it has been difficult for
the management teams as
well."
Each regular status em-
ployee will receive two weeks
of pay, Ley said. The county
will also provide special work-

shops in conjunction with
Drake, Beam and Morin a
national company specializ-
ing in outplacement services
- to help those employees
sharpen their resumes and
start effective job searches.
Passage of the so-called
"super exemption" could fur-
ther delay any hopes of
increasing the county's pay-
roll anytime soon. That.
amendment, if passed on Jan.
29, will allow homesteaded
property to receive an exemp-
tion of 75 percent of a home's
first $200,000 in value; plus,
homesteaded properties will
get another 15 percent ex-
emption for the next $300,000
in value.
Since about half the value
of the county's tax base is
homesteaded property, the
super exemption could force
the county into a deficit of as
much as $20 million in fiscal
year 2009, Ley has said.
"If the constitutional
amendment passes, there
won't be a real local govern-
ment that's cities and
counties," Staub said. "It will
devastate local government."
Staub said Sarasota Coun-
ty has always maintained a
smaller, leaner workforce -
which means these latest cuts
have doubly hurt.
"We don't have much fat,"
Staub said. "Pretty soon,
you're going to be down to the
bone. And then the patient
dies."

MCC president

announces retirement

BY STACEY EIDSON
BRADENTON HERALD

A few hours
after Manatee
Community
.. College Presi-
dent Sarah
Pappas an-
nounced she
plans to retire
in June 2008
Pappas after 10 years
of leadership,
community
leaders described her as a tre-
mendous visionary.
"Dr. Pappas has been a
really great leader for Man-
atee Community College,"
said Kathy Baylis, president
of Economic Development
Corp. of Sarasota County.
"During her tenure, she made
a lot of strides. Today, MCC
really has three campuses,
and I think probably one of
her biggest legacies is the cre-
ation of Manatee Community
College's Center for Inno-
vation and Technology at
Lakewood Ranch."
During the past 10 years,
Manatee Community Col-
lege's enrollment has dramat-
ically increased; today it
serves more than 30,000 resi-
dents each year, with a bud-
get of more than $50 million.
There are campuses in Bra-
denton and South Venice.
In a prepared statement,
Pappas thanked the commu-
nity for its support of MCC,
which celebrated its 50th
anniversary this year.
"Next month MCC con-
cludes a hugely successful

year-long celebration of its
first 50 years, and next year I
will complete 11 years of ser-
vice at this wonderful col-
lege," Pappas wrote in the
statement. "My time as MCC
president has been fantastic,
full of exciting changes and
energizing challenges. I have
loved every day."
Bob Bartz, president of
Manatee Chamber of Com-
merce, said Pappas has con-
tinued the long legacy of great
leadership at MCC.
"She took a physical plant
that was in need of some
improvement and made it
into probably one of the most
attractive community college
campuses in the system now,
as a result of her tenacious-
ness and getting money from
Tallahassee," Bartz said. "That
was one of her real strengths.
She could bring the money
home. She is going to be a
great loss and definitely will
be missed. Whoever they hire
will have big shoes to fill."
Elevater
Nancy Engel, executive di-
rector of the Manatee County
Economic Development Coun-
cil, said Pappas has also focused
on improving the local work-
force.
"She has done a good job
connecting business with the
community college. And she
has been very effective as a
leader and extremely in-
volved," Engel said. "One
thing that really helped MCC
was the remodeling they did
of the school and the campus.
It really seemed to really ele-

vate the image."
Pappas stated that she
decided to announce her re-
tirement in advance to allow
ample time for the board of
trustees to organize and con-
duct a search for MCC's fifth
president. The board plans to
discuss the search on Sept.
19.
"With Dr. Pappas, the
thing that I think is nearest
and dearest to my heart is
that she really understands
the needs of businesses,"
Baylis said. "The community
college is more proactive
today than they ever have
been in trying to meet the
needs of businesses and
working with them. I've seen
them go into a business and
find out about the need and
create a program on the spot
and say, 'We are going to be
able to do this for you.' I think
just creating that kind of envi-
ronment has been very, very
positive."
MCC's ongoing relation-
ship with the University of
South Florida Sarasota-Man-
atee's campus has also been
invaluable, Baylis said.
"I think also one of her
great accomplishments has
been the relationship that she
built with the University of
South Florida in creating, in
essence, a four-year college
program," Baylis said. "But
this area attracts top talent
and Dr. Pappas is a perfect
example of that. And I think
MCC should be able to attract
top talent to come to the
community and take us to the
next level."

Superintendent to

get a new evaluation

BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER

With a Sept. 1 deadline
looming, the Sarasota County
School Board set their expec-
tations for the superinten-
dent's performance evalua-
tion on Tuesday.
Vice Chair Kathy Kleinlein
said the SCSB superintendent
is eligible for a 7-percent pay
increase, or bonus, each year
if he meets certain goals set
by the board. This increase is
in addition to cost of living
raises.
The 7-percent pay increase
is based on part of the superin-
tendent's performance eval-
uation.
Earlier in the year, the
board members, agreed to
have the standards for the 7-
percent increase based on
measurable data only.
On Tuesday, the board
members chose which quan-
titative data to base the stan-
dard on: achievements in
reading, math and science, as
well as improvements in
graduation rates.
The board members used
the Educational Quality Im-
provement Profile data to
determine the measurements
the superintendent must
obtain to achieve the bonus.
The EQuIP data are a more
complicated achievement
measure than Adequate Yearly
Progress and the Florida
Comprehensive Assessment
Test, Kleinlein said.
With a scoring system in
place to gauge improvement,
board members wanted to
see increases in reading,
math and science at the ele-

mentary, middle and high
school levels within ethnic
subgroups such as Cauca-
sian, African-American and
Hispanic.
Then, the members set a
percentage the superinten-
dent must meet in each
group and subgroup. The
percentage increases ranged
from 2 to 6 percent more than
the previous year.
Kleinlein said that to deter-
mine the required increase,
the board members looked at
the trends in those areas from
previous years.
"We don't want to make
this impossible," Kleinlein
said, adding, "If we want to be
the best in the state, we need
to set the bar high for all our
target groups."
Kleinlein said she hopes
'the new evaluation will help
close the achievement gaps
within the subgroups.
Norris was present for the
discussions regarding his
evaluations and said he was
up to the challenge.
Ambitious goals
"The goals are ambitious,"
Norris said. "They represent
the true essence of what NeXt
Generation Learning is all
about. It will be tough to
achieve, but I think as a
school district, we're up to it."
The board members will
vote on the superintendent's
evaluation template on Sept.
4. If it's adopted, the board
members will use the tem-
plate when they evaluate
Norris in June 2008. ,

Deputy cleared for shooting knife attacker

New water meters in Venice

BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER

A sheriff's deputy has been
cleared of any wrongdoing
after shooting a man who
came at him and two other
deputies with a knife earlier
this month.
A state attorney's investi-
gation determined that Dep-
uty Robert Kramer acted
properly when John W An-
sink, 40, charged him and
deputies Larry Carmack and
RayVleck after refusing to put
down the knife he was wav-
ing.
A letter from the state
attorney's office to Sarasota
County Sheriff Bill Balkwill
states in part:
"The findings of this office
concur with your shooting
review board. The evidence

indicates that this was a justi-
fiable use of deadly force, and
therefore, this office intends
to take no further action.... "
Ansink, 40, 200 block San
Carlos St., Nokomis, was
charged with two counts of
aggravated assault on a law
enforcement officer and arm-
ed burglary with a knife.
The attack
The incident started when
the Spanish Lakes Mobile
Home park manager told
deputies Larry Carmack, Ray
Vleck and Robert Kramer he
heard someone inside a mo-
bile home that was supposed
to be vacant.
The manager said the ten-
ants had been evicted July 30.
Ansink, one of the former ten-
ants, had been arrested Aug. 3
at the home and charged with

trespassing.
Carmack, Vleck and Kra-
mer went inside.
Ansink came out of the
bedroom waving a knife.
The deputies repeatedly
told him to drop it.
Instead, Ansink charged at
them with the knife.
Kramer fired once. The
bullet hit Ansink in the chest.
Ansink was flown by emer-
gency helicopter to the Bay-
front Medical Center in St.
Petersburg. He was listed in
critical but stable condition.
His current condition was not
available at press time.
Ansink has a criminal his-
tory that includes possession
of cocaine, according to Sher-
iff's Office spokesman Lt.
Chuck Lesaltato.

City electric bill jumps by 22 percent

Residents aren't the only ones getting bit by their
utility bill. The city needs to cough up another
quarter-million to pay its own.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

As part of its year-end
accounting procedures, the
city of Venice utilities depart-
ment recently updated its
projections for annual utili-
ties costs (electric, solid
waste, water and sewer).
The news wasn't good. It's
short $285,000.
This year the city budgeted
$962,348, but Florida Light
and Power has been upping
its charges for the power
required to run the city's
treatment plants by 22 per-
cent over the past 12 to 16
months, according to Utilities
Director Len Bramble.
This year's bill is being esti-

mated at $1.25 million. Forty-
six percent of the cost goes
toward running the water

It isn't far off fi

lion, according to Bramble.
The city's bill jumped from
$971,000 in fiscal year 2005
bill to $1.22 million in 2006,
but the budgeted amount for
2007 was made in early spring
of 2006, just after the jump.
"We didn't know the full
impact at that time," said

low the Bramble.
Over the past five years the
at that department has experienced
time. an increase in total electrical
costs in excess of $500,000,
Jdilities Bramble said.
ramble More than $200,000 of the
$285,000 budget transfer
requested by Bramble will
come from the account fund-
ed by increased rate hikes for

Fund transfer boosts penny tax fund

City staff estimate it will have almost $400,000
leftover from money it borrowed for capital pro-
jects to plow back into the 1-cent sales-tax fund.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Last week Venice City
Council approved a transfer
of $397,597 of unspent funds
back into the city's 1-cent
sales-tax fund.
The transfer of 2001 con-
struction fund reserves is
what's left over when the city
borrowed funds from the
penny tax fund to get a jump
start on priority projects.

The money paid for a city
radio system, improvements
at city hall, law enforcement
upgrades and additional
pocket park upgrades.
The 1-cent sales tax was
then used to repay the loan.
Now that the projects have
been completed, the remain-
ing monies will be transferred
to the 1-cent sales-tax fund
for future use on capital pro-
jects.
Council will decide which

projects to spend the leftover
funds on.
Monies transferred into
the account can be used to
pay for ongoing mitigation of
the fuel cleanup at the Public
Works yard, various minor
park improvements such as
picnic shelters and special
projects like reserving funds
for the city's portion of im-
provements regarding widen-
ing of U.S. 41 Business and
the continued beach renour-
ishment program, according
to city budget documents.

Leave utility
markers alone
With various construction
projects taking place in
Venice, there are numerous
small flags marking under-
ground utility lines placed in
the ground to prevent digging

or disturbing existing pipes
and wires.
The locations of the utili-
ties are marked with small
flags or paint in the public
right of way or easement
where the utilities are located.
Some of the utility easements
appear to be on private prop-
erty.
To prevent loss of services,
no digging should take place
within 2 feet of these utility
location markers.
It is unlawful to remove
these markers. Once the work
is completed in the area, the
contractors will remove the
flags.
The flags or paint are color
coded to show what type of
utility is buried in the area.
Green: sewer lines
Purple: reuse or reclaimed
irrigation water pipes
Blue: potable water pipes
Orange: communications
cables or conduit
Yellow: gas, oil or petrole-
umr
Red: electric lines, cable or
conduit
Pink: temporary survey
markings

White: proposed excava-
tion site
Harbor survey
As part of the Harbor
Management planning, the
city ofVenice is doing a survey
of area boaters regarding their
impression of boating ameni-
ties and safety in the Venice
area.
This is a first step in devel-
oping a harbor management
plan, which will affect Rob-
erts Bay and the mooring field
near the Venice Yacht Club.
A harbor management
plan is necessary for law en-
forcement to deal boats that
present a hazard to other
boats and people.
The plan is separate from
all and any proposals to
develop a marina on airport
property and will not address
that subject.
The Harbor Management
Planning Committee is led by
Venice Marine Police Officer
Phil Phillips. Planner Kathie
Ebaugh is providing city sup-
port. For information or a
boating survey, contact
Ebaugh at 486-2626.

Belser is on her third of five
painful rabies shots.
She also has had one

and has had two skin grafts so
far.
Belser said they took skin
grafts from her upper right
bicep to reconstruct her right
thumb. She said she is left-

right hand.
"I can still read but I can't
write," Belser said.
Belser said she filed a re-
port with the Sarasota County
Sheriff's Animal Control Di-

"They said their best guess
is the dog has bitten before
and that's why the dog owner
took off," Belser said.
"Obviously, this' is not a

good dog," said Goodwill
Marketing and Communica-
tions Director Patsy French.
Belser said the dog is dan-
gerous and the owner is irre-
sponsible.
'And, yes," Belser said,
"some consideration ought to
be given to putting the dog
down if they ever find him."

Officials from AOPA, along

sources to fund it.
Overtime pay was a trickier
topic.
Reed again reiterated that
a cutback in overtime had the
potential of closing a fire
engine down if there is an
unusually large number of
firefighters who call in sick.
City staff and firefighters
differed on how many staff
would trigger such a move,
and its impact.
In 2005 the city spent
$189,404 on overtime. The
department did offer to bring
it down to $150,000 next year,
but the city is pushing for fur-
ther cuts.
Black thinks the $50,000
budgeted is enough to cover
the fire department's needs.
"I'm confident our fire
department can manage that
better," Black said.
That confidence is mostly
due to another budget mea-
sure going into effect mak-

VENICE, FL -What do you do if you are the
world's largest boat dealer and have new 2008
models in route for delivery?
Ryan West, General Manager, MarineMax
Venice, explains,"We're overstocked. I don't think
we can park another boat on our lot and we have
new shipments on the way.

World's largest dealer is overstocked
and offers deals of a lifetime
on new and used boats
"I know if we held the World's Largest Boat Sale
that would help, and if we offer to sell our
remaining inventory of new and used boats at the
lowest prices of the year, that would probably do
the trick. So, that's exactly what we're going to do,
starting this Thursday, August 23.
"Sure," continued West, "selling new and used
boats at these prices is unusual. But with new boats
on the way and no place to put them, we have no
other choice."
Just what kind of discounts can customers
expect? West went on, "Customers can save
several ways. Manufacturers, like Sea Ray, are
offering their most aggressive incentives of the
year, like the Summer Never Ends promotion,
which can save customers up to $100,000.
In addition, MarineMax is offering our
own incentives."

Sea Ray offers it's most generous
incentives of the year with
Summer Never Ends savings
Our best selling Sea Rays, the Sea Ray 175 Sport
and 240 Sundeck, will be sold with payments as
low as $169 a month* to qualified customers!
"If that isn't enough," said West, "we'll offer
used boat discounts as high as $50,000.

For example, we have a
2004 380 Sundancer,
stock number 64390.
It will be sold for
$50,000 off our
regular price, for
only $179,800!"
"Even though these
prices are low, no
short cuts will be taken
on what we're famous
for the MarineMax
experience!" West
explained.
"At MarineMax,
there are never any
hidden charges. Even
freight and prep are
included. Our All-
Inclusive Value Pricing
also means that every
customer will get what

Save big at the Venice location of the World's Largest Boat Sale this weekend!

they need to get on the water, like a Go Boating
Gear Kit which includes Coast Guard safety
equipment-even a full tank of fuel!"
West continued, "Every customer receives a
professional Captain's Delivery and orientation to
feel totally confident and comfortable in operating
their boat, whether you are a first-time boater or
moving up to a larger boat."
Only MarineMax creates exclusive events like
MarineMax Getaways!", (exclusive trips organized
by MarineMax so you can experience the boating
lifestyle with other owners) and classes for the
whole family. It all adds up to a total experience
that you can't find anywhere else.
Sales managers have been instructed to move all
new and used boats, according to Mike Field,
MarineMax Business Manager, "I've never seen so

much quality inventory on one lot. We need to
move these boats quickly. Financing and insurance
is available on the spot with practically
no down payment on approved credit...We'll
make it quick and easy for anyone who's in the
market for a good new or used boat to get one
at this sale for a very low price."
Field continued, "We really want to move
boats during this sale. Our finance managers
will be on site to secure very low finance rates."
The Venice location of the World's Largest
Boat Sale will run Thursday, August 23 through
Sunday, August 26, at the Crow's Nest, on the
north end of Venice Island. For more information
contact Lori White at (941) 485-3388.

' Financing offers are with approved credit. Sea Ray 175: 10% down, 144 months, 8.99% APR. Incentives are available on most but not all models, and expire on 8/31/07. See dealer for complete details.

Bright Futures may face storms in the near future

T he future of Florida's Bright Futures
program is growing cloudy.
In 1997, the state Legislature started
the Bright Futures Scholarship Program,
sponsored by the Florida Lottery, to provide
scholarships for deserving Florida students
headed off to Florida colleges.
It's a great program, but it's expensive.
In the initial year of the program 10 years
ago, $75 million funded 43,000 scholarships,
according to a recent story in the Tampa
Tribune. Last year, the cost had jumped to
$350 million, and roughly 100,000 scholar-
ships were granted.
It has been argued that scholarship stan-
dards have been set too low. Bright Futures
will cover 75 percent of tuition and fees at a
public institution for a student achieving a
3.0 grade point average and a combined 970

SAT score, which is below the national aver-
age.
There's no real issue setting the bar at a
reachable height for many students. It's not
only the "A" students who need help paying
for higher education.
But there could be more balance between
merit and need.
Right now, scholarship money is, given to
all qualifying students, regardless of need.
That's means children from families who
can well afford to pay also can get big tuition
relief. There's something about the situation
that rankles a bit.
At this point, many families have come to
rely on and expect the promise of the Bright
Futures program. It wouldn't be fair to fami-
lies of children who have worked to main-
tain good grades to change the system dra-

matically in one sudden step.
But the state Legislature may want to
consider moving in another direction.
A system might be devised to provide all
qualifying students with a basic scholarship
as a reward for hard work academically. Pick
a number. For instance, each student may
get $2,000 automatically. After that, the state
could establish a sliding scale based on
need.
The scale can be set high. We're not sug-
gesting it reflect the poverty line. The cost of
higher education hits lower- and middle-
income families hard. But there's no good
reason to carry wealthy families beyond an
initial scholarship amount that rewards stu-
dent achievement.
Indeed, money saved from the the high
end might even be spread more generously

to more needy families.
And that's certainly not the only possible
change. Tying the amount made available to
success in college could be considered.
Maybe part of Bright Futures could be con-
verted to a type of student loan program.
Lots of scholarships are given out by lots of
groups; let's see how they do things.
Major players quoted by the Tampa
.Tribune made it sound that some attempts
to modify the program would be forthcom-
ing.
For one thing, there are no provisions to
make up for the tuition hikes due to go into
effect in 2008 at the state colleges, and some
argue this will make college less affordable
for some.
One way or another, it looks like Bright
Futures will be back on the table soon.

Crystal ball is broken

BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST

Each year the schools try to
predict the enrollment of
each school and for the dis-
trict as a whole. That sets up
everything most impor-
tant, the budget.
We have known in recent
years they have missed their
projections mightily. Two
years ago they missed by a
thousand students, which-
caused the district to lay off
people and return a pile of
money to the state. They are
funded based on preliminary
projections, and when they
overestimate they have to
return money.
So, last year the district was
more conservative and, while
I don't remember the num-
ber, it was a 400 to 500 student
increase.
This year Gary Norris,
superintendent, says it is pos-
sible it will be the first year the
district does not add any stu-
dents. That would not be sup-
ported by what is happening
at Venice High.
Just before school started it
looked like VHS was going to
be up 160 more than project-
ed. That is one pile of new
teachers needed in a short
time. Of course, it could be
that a lot of kids will not show,
so the number may trend
downward, but still it will put
VHS near last year around
2,200.
It proves, I guess, that try-
ing to estimate shifting popu-
lations is pretty unscientific,
and affected by a lot of things.
One person told me. that
where cheap rentals are
seems to be where young
families with kids go, and
Venice is one of those places
because there is such a glut of
houses bought on specula-
tion and owners are happy to
get any rent from they can. It's
kind of a new twist, since
Venice is perceived as an
expensive place to live.
Hopefully, we can quickly
determine the student num-
ber at Venice High so it can
get the teachers it needs
instead of having classes of
35-40 pupils.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

No waivers given in a vacuum

Editor:
The VMA Master Plan forecasts a 68 percent increased
demand for itinerant operations within this FAA use classifica-
tion through 2025. In other words, the government expects
Venice to accommodate more bigger and faster aircraft.
I do not believe the government is in the market to reduce
aviation capacity these days. A smaller VMA is not a realistic
option.
Over time technological changes impact the risks on sur-
rounding environments and the choice becomes to accept the
risks or change the environment. There have been 11 major
changes to the airport design specifications in order to keep up
with aviation technology. VMA is obligated to be part of this
evolution.
ReclassifyingVMA as a B-II would not change the type of air-
craft using the field, and shorter runways would greatly
increase safety risks now and in the future.
From my many years dealing with government contracts, I
know that if you ask the government a question about hypo-
thetical waivers, the agency representative has no choose but
to quote the specification back to you. City council should sub-
mit the Venice Airport Master Plan to the FAA clearly stating its
need for specific waivers. Then the FAA will be able to consid-
er the requested waivers and negotiate the outcome to both
parties' mutual benefit.
The results will not be shorter runways but rather accepted
waivers to the RPZ that will accommodate the present uses of
neighboring areas. Then the community, hopefully, can focus
its attention on the appropriate safety improvements at VMA.

Cost doesn't
trump addiction

Editor:
I think restoring anti-
smoking funds is far from a
smart move.
Do you really think that
raising the price on cigarettes
will be a deterrent to a smok-
er? Have you forgotten ciga-
rettes are addictive? Since
when does high cost stop
anyone with an addiction
from using? There would be
no one entering the rooms of

AA, if that be the case just
raise the cost of alcohol. Talk
about a smokescreen.
The American Lung Asso-
ciation also brings to our
attention the state's tax has
remained 33.9 cents per pack
for the last 15 years. I imagine
the American Lung Associ-
ation also believes that is the
solution. Hmmm.
The Association also cites
studies that show that youth
smoking rates drop by 7 per-
cent for every 10 percent
increase in the price of ciga-

rettes. Who did this study? It is
ridiculous.
It is no secret that the
tobacco companies know
exactly what they are doing -
and legally. In the '50s when
people were becoming health
conscious, the tobacco indus-
try did studies on smokers.
The industry did not want to
lose money due to people
contemplating quitting. The
bottom line here was to add
new contents to cigarettes,
get them hooked, smoke
more.
Yes, cigarette smoking kills,
so why not stop all the bull
and take them off the market?
It is all about money, like
everything else.
Phillip Morris was a big
contributor to Bush's first
presidential campaign. So,
put that in your pipe and
smoke it. Doesn't take much
more to figure out.

Ask New Jersey

Editor:
Regarding Sarasota County
planning to build a round-
about within the intersection

nue: Someone should check

Department of Highways in-
stead of Las Vegas.
My wife and I lived in New
Jersey for 25 years and saw
roundabouts either discon-
tinued or modified because
they posed a dangerous traf-
fic hazard. Indeed, they were
accidents waiting to happen

- and they did, with all too
frequent fatalities because
they require a combination of
fast reflexes and sound judg-

Twice recently outraged

But using the same lies

Congress is again saying, "just

All that hubbub for a measly

STEPHEN BAUMANN
GUEST COLUMNIST

I got my property tax no-
tice the other day, and it made
me do a double-take.
What, exactly, was all the
fuss about in the special ses-
sion of the Legislature?
Let's take a stroll through
my own TRIM notice. (That's
the "Truth -in Millage" state-
ment that comes in the mail).
I live in unincorporated
Sarasota County, but the ba-
sics are roughly the same in
other counties. I also have a,
homestead exemption, but
more about that later.
At the top of the form are
columns listing the taxing
authority, my property taxes
last year, my projected prop-
erty taxes this year and what
my taxes would have been if
no changes had been made in
the budget.
The first line is for county
general fund services. I paid
$524.94 last year and will pay
$491.85 this year thanks to the
state-imposed budget cut of 7
percent. I would have paid
about a dollar more, $526.06,
had no' cuts been made, but
that's because my overall
property assessment went up.
In a down market. But more
about that later.
There are other taxing au-
thorities:
Mosquito control. I paid
$7.34 last year, and will pay
$4.19 this year. According to
Lisa Damschroder of Sarasota
County Financial Services, a
surplus in the mosquito-con-

$26.43

trol fund was carried over this
year, which allowed for a drop
in the millage rate.
This won't affect mosqui-
to-control services, but the
surplus here did mean fewer
cuts were needed in other
areas of the county budget.
The library system, for in-
stance.
Sarasota County Emerg-
ency Services. $97.07 last
year; $99.91 this year. EMS is a
municipal services taxing
unit, not subject to a rollback.
Public schools. Also not
subject to rollbacks. I paid
$532.86 last year and will pay
$536.04 this year for state-
mandated services; $527.57
last year and $542.24 this year
for services determined by
the local board.
Southwest Florida Water
Management District. $85.60
last year and $80.98 this year.
This was subject to cuts,
according to Damschroder.
Hospital board. $147.08
last year, $142.45 this year.
West Coast Inland Navi-
gation District. $5.88 last year;
$5.96 this year.
Debt payments. $11.02
last year; $9.33 this year. All of
the county's general obliga-
tion bonds were paid off last
year, so this year's number is
only for the environmentally
sensitive lands program.
That's a lot of numbers.
The one that really counts is
the last, my total property tax.
Here it is:
Last year I paid $1,939.38.
If no cuts had been made, I
would have to pay $1,936.32
this year. I would have saved
$3.06.
With the cuts, my tax is
$1,912.95. That's a saving of
$26.43.
My initial reaction was some-
thinglike "whoop-dee-doo." But
while it won't pay the increase in
my homeowners insurance
(assuming I am still covered), it's
better than nothing.
But hardly worth all the

fuss.
Beyond that, the biggest
surprise was the increase in
the value of my house. House
prices have dropped in our
neighborhood in the past
year, as real estate agents con-
tinually inform us in mailings,
so .how is it that my value
went up?
Here's how, according to
county Property Appraiser
Jim Todora.
The first mistake I made
was to compare last year's as-
sessed and market value with
this year's value. Todora said
the department starts from
scratch each year with its
assessment models.
Todora insisted the market
did not take a real turn south
until late in the third quarter
last year. Most values did go
down, he said, but some went
up and some stayed the same.
"For what it's worth, my
property went up this year
too," Todora said.
At least I have company.
But there are two other
points.
For one thing, my TRIM no-
tice market value and assessed
value are well below what I
think my house could sell for.
(Just don't tell the appraiser).
And I have a Save Our
Homes exemption, so this
year's $176,380 assessed value
is lowered by $25,000 to
$151,380. That is only 2.5 per-
cent above last year's value, a
figure set by law. With an ex-
emption, my assessed prop-
erty value can't go up more
than 3 percent a year beyond
my original assessment. So a
reassessment doesn't really
matter, unless it goes down.
Which is a problem for
anybody without an exemp-
tion lot owners, businesses
and part-timers. But it's a
sweet deal for me.
And you can bet $26.43 I'm
not voting to change the Save
Our Homes exemption in Jan-
uary.

had colorful beach chairs
with seats about 2 inches
from the ground. I'd need a
small forklift to get me in and
out of them. And there were
those yuppie canvas ones in
their very own bag too
heavy, too hot and I couldn't
carry even a newspaper, let
alone a book. Finally, after
many store excursions, I find
it a classy kind of lawn
chair. It's more than classy, it's
almost kind of sexy. Of course,
it's a bit heavier than my old
chair, but so what if I pull a
rotator cuff. I can now attend
outdoor concerts in style any-
where and not worry about
someone finding me, or espe-
cially my chair, to their in-
tense dislike. Ah, nirvana.3
Unplug. I have some sug-
gestions for people who want
children isolated in restau-
rants. The next time you go
out to eat, leave your hearing
aids and teeth at home; that
way children's noises won't
bother you and you will be
able to eat less. Or, you might
try eating at home, where the
only thing to annoy you is the

stomping around of the fami-
ly cat. Anyway, enjoy yourself
today. Go out and run over
somebody's dog.
Uncut. While the restora-
tion of Colonia Lane in No-
komis is a beautiful thing -
the sidewalks are wide, the
road is well done why did
we put in all this grass that no
one is mowing? The grass is
now 2 feet tall, and the beauti-
ful restoration is looking pret-
ty shabby.
Tears. With the prices
today, everybody has the right
to cry over spilt milk.
Shell game. Wow! Just got
my proposed real estate taxes
for 2007. My taxes are higher
and over what they were in
2006. That doesn't even in-
clude water and sewer, gar-
bage, handling service, water
management and so forth.
And to really give you all a real
shake up, the assessor in-
creases my assessed value. If
this is the outcome for my
average house, where do our
public officials have the gall to
cry about less money to work
with next year? This should be
a wake-up call for anyone
thinking of buying real estate
in our county. How honest is
any proposal by our officials
to lower costs? The old shell
game: They move around the
proposals, cut services and
you still lose.

Fertilizer rules will

work if community

cooperates

Sarasota County is poised to pass a fertilizer ordi-
nance in late August. Public education will play a
large role in changing the habits of homeowners.

BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS

Restrictions on the types
and amounts of chemical fer-
tilizers Sarasota County resi-
dents can spread on lawns
will curtail the flow of oxygen-
robbing nutrients into creeks
and bay waters, but only if
residents cooperate and there
is a way to police violators.
On Aug. 27, the county
commission is expected to
adopt an ordinance that
could have profound state-
wide implications if other
coastal communities enact
similar measures to address
the adverse effects of nitrogen
and phosphorous in surface
water bodies.
"I continue to believe edu-
cation is the key to success,"
said Jack Merriam, a county
environmental manager who
has helped craft the regula-
tions. "One of the great things
that has happened here is
a community conversation
about what we are trying to
accomplish."

Lobbying
Marine scientists, environ-
mental groups and other pro-.
ponents of "slow-release" fer-
tilizer products have lobbied
hard for county measures
that will reduce the flow of
damaging nutrients into area
waters through stormwater
runoff.
While there is still no con-
clusive proof, many of them
believe nutrients that wash
into Gulf of Mexico waters
help feed red tide outbreaks
when they reach Southwest
Flnrida ishores,,andad.prolongl,
the fishkills and foul air that.
drive everybody away from
beaches.
On July 11, the county
commission sifted through
five hours of pro and con tes-
timony from environmental-
ists who want restrictions,
lawn maintenance firms that
don't and homeowners who
are worried about what will
become of their manicured
lawns.
"The commissioners asked
us to try and clarify a number
of issues that seemed gray to
them, and it was hard to do
during a public hearing,"
Merriam said. "We have been
working to provide the infor-
mation that will help them
make final decisions."

Issues
Issues to be addressed
include: 1) conflicts with
future state fertilizer rules; 2)
landscape alternatives for fer-
tilizer-free waterfront zones;
3) conflicts with buffer and
setback regulations for new
development; and 4) training
programs for lawn care firms.
"The Florida Department'
of Agriculture has changed
course on proposed state-
wide rules for the application
of fertilizer, and we need to
figure out what they will be,"
Merriam said. "We also need
alternatives to turf grass
for low-maintenance buffer
zones along the water."
If adopted, the county reg-
ulations would set limits on
the amount of nitrogen and
phosphorous in fertilizer;
only allow "slow-release" fer-
tilizers; prohibit fertilizer use

in 10-foot-wide waterfront
areas and require training for
firms that spread fertilizers on
lawns.
"We need to know who is
already trained, who isn't and
whether we can use existing
programs to provide the nec-
essary training," Merriam
said. "Some pest control com-
panies have asserted they're
trained and want to be
exempted."
Just how the county goes

"The fertilizer ordi-
nance will be treated
the same as all oth-
ers that involve code
enforcement."
Steve DeMarsh,
Sarasota County
Attorney

about enforcing fertilizer
restrictions and catching vio-
lators remains a mystery. The
ordinance and an accompa-
nying resolution will spell out
procedures for issuing warn-
ing letters and assessing fines
of up to $500 for repeat
offenders.
It doesn't appear enforce-
ment officials will be able to
park in front of homes and
walk around them to deter-
mine whether illegal spread-
ing is occurring.
"The fertilizer ordinance
will be treated the same as all
others that involve code
enforcement,", said County,
Attorney Steve DeMarsh.
"Inspectors must either be
able to see what is going on
from the public right of way,
get consent from the home-
owner to look or obtain a
search warrant," he said.
"They cannot go on private
property without either con-
sent from the owner or a
search warrant."

Other communities
Sarasota County wouldn't
be the first community in
Florida to restrict the use of
chemical fertilizers, but it
would be the largest. Sanibel
Island took the lead last year
and prompted a number of
cities and counties to consid-
er similar restrictions.
Sanibel prohibits fertilizer
use during the rainy season
July 1 through Sept. 30 -
and limits it to no more than 2
percent phosphorous and 20
percent nitrogen. At least 70
percent of the nitrogen con-
tent must be of the "slow
release" variety.
The island's regulations
limit spreading fertilizer at a
rate greater than 1 pound of
nitrogen per 1,000 square feet
and no more than 4 pounds
of nitrogen per 1,000 square
feet during a calendar year.
They recommend only two
applications per year.
Sanibel also imposes a 25-
foot-wide buffer zone next to
ponds, streams, lakes, canals,
retention ponds and draining
ditches where fertilizer can-
not be spread, a more strin-
gent requirement than the
10-foot-wide zone proposed
by Sarasota County.

CSA Organic farmers feed

families top-notch produce

BY RICK BARRY
PELICAN PRESS

They call it Community
Supported Agriculture, CSA.
It works like this: We pay
the farmers up front, say
$600, to help them plan, get
the crops in the ground and
cultivate them organically,
typically a broad array of leafy
greens, herbs, root vegeta-
bles, fruits, squash, tomatoes
and more, and maybe even a
few flowers.
Then, each week for the
24-week growing season, the
farmers supply each family
with a box chock-full of
enough fresh produce to feed
two adults all week long -
ripe, tasty, unadulterated
food.
That works out to about
$25 a week. Not bad, eh?
And the CSA system ac-
complishes a few other goals
that might be less evident. It
lets us:
Know where, how and by
whom our food is grown.
Invest our food dollars in
the local economy.
Reduce the environmen-
tal impacts of distant food
production, transportation
and packaging.
Promote sustainable ag-
riculture and food security.
Preserve local farmland.
And it does something else
for the 1,200 communities
that already enjoy the pro-
duce from farms based on the
CSA model: It helps commu-
nity members and the farm-
ers who feed them connect
and learn about one another's
lives on a really basic level -
through the food we all eat.

Patchwork quilt
Well, such an opportunity
is already available locally,
thanks to Eva and Chris Wor-
den of Worden Farm, about 8'
miles east of Punta Gorda.
"It's like a humongous gar-
den here, a patchwork quilt
with all sorts of crops growing
at the same time, that we

bring to our members and
the (Sarasota Downtown
Farmers') market," said Eva,
clearly pleased with how
things are working out and
the support her farm has
received in its first four har-
vests and justifiably proud
of what her family has
accomplished.
Both Eva and her husband
have doctoral degrees in ag
ricultural fields. Hers is
in ecosystem management,
from Yale. She recently taught
a well-received course in
urban agriculture at New
College of Florida; intern-
ships at the farm earn course
credits at the University of
Florida.

lies, in both Southwest Flor-
ida and Southeast Florida

are less about' money -
"although we're doing well
enough for us to keep doing
what we love"- than about a
whole palette of intangibles.
"We're able to raise our
kids on a farm," she said, and
in 2007 that's a bit rare.
"And we're meeting our
goals, including helping us
connect with our fellow
human beings over food and
maintaining that link be-
tween the community and
agriculture.
'And we're also fulfilling a
responsibility we feel is im-

sustainability of our culture
and the natural world. ... It's
great just to feed people
healthy food, to maintain
food security (because it
doesn't pass, untracked,

it's what we love. And every
day is different. We wear so
many hats it's always inter-

The Outback Steakhouse
in Venice recently held a
fundraiser to help the Venice
Vipers 12 and under girls soft-
ball travel team raise money
for uniforms, equipment,
insurance, tournament fees
and travel expenses.
Team director Linda Cal-
lahan sought the help of
Outbadk proprietor Mike
Summerall and manager Jenn
Magley to hold a fundraising
lunch for the team. The girls
sold over 167 tickets to the
lunch, which included steak or
chicken, potato, salad and
beverage with raspberry
cheesecake for dessert. Out-
back donated 100 percent of
the profits to the team.
Throughout most of the
year, the girls travel all over

.the state of Florida to play in
tournaments. The Vipers,
which will become a 14 and
under team in the 2008 sea-
son, have had some very suc-
cessful tournaments, placing
first and second at several this
year.
The Vipers recently took
first place out of nine teams in
the Twisters Summer Smack
Down in Bradenton, where
they went 5-0 in the two-day
tournament. The Vipers faced
down the Lady Bombers, 13-
1; Mount Dora Tigers, 13-0;
The Combat, 12-0; and the
Manatee Twisters, 10-2, to
advance to the finals where
they defeated the Central
Florida Sting, 12-2. The Vipers
gave up only five points all
weekend.
Playing on a travel team
like the Vipers is very expen-
sive, Callahan said. The girls

are responsible for raising
money since the team does
not charge the girls to play.
The Vipers had tried unsuc-
cessfully to get donations to
help out with team expenses.
Thanks to Outback, the
team now has funds to buy
some much needed equip-
ment and play in several tour-
naments. In addition, Out-
back is now the Vipers' official
team sponsor for the 2007-08
season.
The girls have also had
help from Drs. Eurlich and
Salapudi, Total Athlete, Britt
Surveying and RV World.
Anyone who would like to
help the Vipers should send
tax-deductible donations to
Riverside Bank, c/o Katie
Smith, 717 E. Venice Ave.,
Venice 34285 with a notation
that the donation is for the 12
and under team.

going to the Diamond Boosters.

VVCUIvlOvTammi House trial may start in Septembert-

Tammi House trial may start in September

'BY GEORGE MCGINN
STAFF WRITER
If there is a middle ground
both sides can agree to, then
U.S. District Court Judge
James Whittemore suggested
Sarasota County's and Ren-
aissance Manor's attorneys
seek it.
"I hope you will talk before
going down the expensive
road," Whittemore said at a
pretrial hearing at the federal
courthouse in Tampa Friday.
"I'd be remiss if I did not
attempt to have you go down
that route."
Tammi House consists of
six units housing six people
each and a main house across
the street for central activities.
The houses are used by indi-
viduals with mental illnesses
and a history of substance
abuse.
Holland & Knight Attorney
Lynn Calkins, lead counsel for
Sarasota County, said the two
sides haven't spoken in the
past year and a half.
While Whittemore did not
set a court date for the trial,
he said it will begin sometime
in September, and will likely
carry over into October.
Renaissance Manor and
Coastal Recovery Health Care
said it will take about 10 days
to present its case, and
Sarasota County said it will
need three weeks.
In 2004, Sarasota County
said activities at the Tammi
House in Warm Mineral
SSprings violated both zoning
laws and Florida Statutes.
On May 16, 2005, Ren-
taissance Manor, Tracey P.,
Richard A. and Gerard 0. filed
.a federal lawsuit against
Sarasota County and two
individuals, Joseph and Maria
Serna, who live next to the
complex.
Then on June 30, 2006, the
U.S. Justice Department filed
Sa lawsuit charging Sarasota
County with housing discrim-
ination against disabled indi-
viduals and is prosecuting the
county for refusing to allow
Renaissance Manor to oper-
ate Tammi House.
However, before any of this
Goes to trial, Renaissance
SManor and Coastal Recovery
.Health Care have to convince
the court that Sarasota Coun-
- ry purposely discriminated
"".against them.
Oral arguments will be
heard on that issue Aug. 29. If
the judge rules for Sarasota
County, there will be no trial.
Benefit?
The county's decision to
close the homes was based on
a 2004 zoning law that they
'qualify as "community resi-
dential homes" under Florida
law, and as such they cannot
'be clustered in a neighbor-
'hood setting.
Based on an investigation,
lawyers for the U.S. Justice
,Department determined coun-
'ty officials wrongfully ordered
five of the six group homes
closed because they do not
conform with Florida Statutes
and a county ordinance that
requires 1,000 feet of separa-
tion between them.
Whittemore.also separated
the lawsuit against the Sernas
lawsuit from the one against
the county; if the cases go
'to trial, the court will hear
the case against Sarasota

County first.
The Sernas' attorney, Phil-
ip Hammersley, said this
could benefit his clients.
"If the county wins, then
more than likely the suit
against the Sernas will be
dropped," Hammersley said
after the hearing.,

Cahoots?
In its 19-page complaint,
Renaissance Manor claims
that the Sernas "communi-
cated fears and prejudices to
county officials about the
harm they believed people
with disabilities would cause
to their neighborhood."

Hammersley said that the
Semas participated in public
meetings and had the consti-
tutional right to express their
opinion.
"They are claiming my
client was in cahoots with the
county," Hammersley said.
The complaint also claims

that the Sernas harassed
the residents of the Tammi
House, glaring and staring at
them in a hostile manner.
Hammersley said that, un-
like the county's lawyers, he is
in active negotiations with
Renaissance Manor, and that
they will be making a propos-

opera

Earth-moving machinery is being used to dig the hole for the enlarged orchestra
pit and to remove the excess dirt to the land behind the opera house, from where it
will be hauled away.

Historic Sarasota Opera House is
undergoing a $20 million renovation

The arch-shaped opening above and to the left of the stage is the location of
the new control booth at the opera house in Sarasota. What the audience will
see will be a decorative element historic to the old Edwards Theatre.
Behind the arch, the new control booth will have an opening to the backstage
area and room for the technical workers who need to be there during perfor-
mances. New sound and lighting equipment is part of the project.

This post and a
twin supporting the
opera house roof
will be removed
when a new system
is installed to sup-
port the roof. At
right. is a view
toward the former
opera club, which
also is being reno-
vated. Its layout will
remain.

History of The Sarasota Opera House
1926 The A. B. Edwards Theatre, built by and named
for Sarasota's first mayor, Arthur Britton Edwards,
opens. San Carlo Opera Company presents "Martha"
and "Carmen."
1928 New York opera company presents "Aida,"
"Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci."
1936 Bankrupt, Edwards is forced to sell the theater.
1939 Building is renamed the Florida Theatre.
1952 Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth"
premiers at the Florida Theatre.
1956 Elvis Presley performs in February.
1973 Theater auditorium closes. Remainder of building
is used as office space.
1978 Sarasota Opera purchases the building.
1982 Construction begins to transform theater into
opera house. Victor DeRenzi hired as the opera's artis-
tic director.
1984 Opera House opens. Edwards Theatre placed on
the National Register of Historic Places.
1989 The Artists' Wing is added.
1990 Renovated balcony adds 300 seats.
2001 The 75th anniversary of the Edwards Theatre.
2007 $20 million renovation begins.

When the floor is removed above the existing two-story
lobby of the Sarasota Opera House, a new four-story sky-
light-topped atrium lobby will be created.

BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Within days of the final perfor-
mance of the 2007 Sarasota Opera
season, the opera house was devoid
of seats, walls were being removed
and flooring was being torn up.
Six months later, the inside of the
opera house more closely resembles
a bombed-out shell of a building
that barely survived a war.
Wood stud walls -dating to the
building's 1926 origin as a theater
and renovations in early 1908 and at
the end of the 20th century have
been replaced by metal wall studs.
The pillars that ring the building's
center atrium are no longer tur-
quoise. Being stripped to bare
wood, the columns vary from white
to some sort of dark brown stain.
The old carpeting from the second
floor of the building covers the
balustrades, which also are being
stripped. The chandelier that was
draped with an old mop in April, is
gone and heavy work is underway
on the third floor and the ceiling
above the foyer.
"There will be a new entry to
the lobby," renovation coordinator
Peter Hussel said as we made our
way up to the third floor. Hussel was
hired to run the capital campaign
that is paying for the renovation
work. With $45 million of the $60
million goal in hand, Hussel is now
focusing his attention primarily on
construction.
Wearing hard hats and stepping
carefully as we walked through the
construction, we were both snap-
ping photos of the building. Hussel
was recording the project as part of
his duties and I was taking photos to
accompany this story. I had last
been there a few weeks after the end
of the season when things were
underway but the building still
resembled an opera house.
There are gaping holes where
once there were windows. Metal
stud partitions have been installed
to replace the building's original
wood studs. What trim remains
(balustrades and the columns above
the lobby) is in various stages of
being stripped to bare wood. Yellow
caution tape warns people to watch
where they walk. Red tape blocks
entrances to the balcony and to the
theater space.
When the former projection
booth was removed from the bal-
cony area to make room for addi-
tional seating, two view-blocking
posts were discovered. They were
there for a reason to support the
opera house roof.
"We thought they might be
there," Hussel said.
The solution was similar to that
employed by the Venice Little
Theatre when it added its balcony a

few years ago bridge construc-
tion.
In the case of the opera house,
suspension bridge techniques are
being used. The pillars will be
removed and the roof will be sus-
pended from a new beam being
installed outside and above the
building.
"Within a month, they will bring
in the frame with a crane and tie the
roof to that," Hussel said. "Then
they will-take-those posts out."
The building's Mediterranean
Revival design is safe as the new
framing will not be visible from the
street, he said.
Red tape blocked the entrance to
the balcony where the stepped riser
framing is semi-installed. When fin-
ished, the new balcony will contain
approximately 150 more seats than
the old balcony. While the down-
stairs 1,034-seat auditorium is being
reworked and patron boxes moved
and rearranged, it is the balcony
area where seating gains are being
made.
Production work once done in
the old projection booth will be
facilitated by a new control booth
being built to the side of the stage.
Most opera patrons are familiar
with the three decorative arches on
either side of the proscenium open-
ing. The one on the left and nearest
to the stage will hide the new con-
trol booth, which will have an open-
ing to the backstage area.
Heading downstairs from the
balcony, more red tape prevented us
from entering the auditorium level.
Part of the stage area remains.
Where opening night opera patrons
sat in all their finery, there is a green
earth-moving machine, a pile of dirt
and some sort of yellow digging
machine. One of the most impor-
tant goals of the remodeling project
is the expansion of the orchestra pit.
With barely enough room for 45
musicians, the old pit restricted the
opera's repertoire, Artistic Director
Victor DeRenzi said last spring.
Digging the pit is likely to be the
biggest challenge for construction
workers as the new pit needs to be
deeper as well as wider. Flooding
was always a problem with the for-
mer pit because its floor level was
below the downtown Sarasota water
table. Sump pumps kept the musi-
cians' feet dry most of the time and
are being used during construction
of the new deeper and larger pit.
New technology will be used to pre-
vent future flooding.
Despite stripping walls to studs,
replacing studs and digging up the
floor, about the only relic found has
been an old 1926-era Coca Cola bot-
tle, Hussel said.

Hang on to your sanity,
ladies and gentlemen. It's
time for News from Ecine-
ville.
"Well, you just think they
could be more adult about
it. I mean can't they just
agree to disagree?" asked
Ecineville Police Depart-
ment Lt. Dave Merlow.
Merlow was referring to
Friday's incident when
members of the Ecineville
Republican and Ecineville
Democratic clubs were, due
to a scheduling error, as-
signed to the same Ecine-
ville Community Center
room at the same time for
their weekly meeting.
"I had no idea anything
was wrong until I heard
someone screaming at the
top of their lungs 'Chappa-
quiddick, Chappaquiddick,
Chappaquiddick, Chappa-
* quiddick,' so I started run-
ning toward conference
room C," said ECC Sched-
tiling Coordinator Tom
Tennebaum.
As any Ecinevillian
knows, the EDC and ERC
aren't very fond of each
other.
But Friday's incident was
one of the ugliest confronta-
tions between the two
groups since 1994, when the
secretary of the EDC at the
time, Emma Peel, was
abducted on election day
and wrapped in an old

000

The News

starting screaming things
about the Iranian hostages
and Monica Lewinsky as
EDC members shot back
with Iran Contra and Water-
gate.
It might have stayed just a
verbal argument, had not
the Ecineville Bakers As-

JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST

Today, the speaker of the
House of Representatives
announced that the Congress
of the United States would be
canceling all vacations, in-
cluding the month-long stint
usually taken in August.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
there is simply too much work
to be done and the American
people deserve to see their tax
dollars yielding greater re-
sults.
President Bush received a
reply to the note and
Valentine's card he sent to
Osama bin Laden. The card
and heart-shaped box of
chocolates were sent at the
suggestion of Harry Reid,
Senate majority leader, in his
64th term, as a token of peace.
Vice President Cheney was to
have said that it was a "sissy"
thing to do and immediately
claimed executive privilege
when asked about it.
And speaking of the vice
president, it was nearly 24
years to the day after Mr. Bush
left office that Mr. Cheney
came out of his hiding place.
His first reaction was a look of
total surprise when he heard
the gallimaufry of languages
spoken in our nation's capital.
He was then hit in the head
with a thrown burrito.
In Baltimore, a man deliv-
ered a 12-pound baby boy by
caesarean section. The doctors
were shocked, but not as much
as his partner, Steve, of 17 years.
Some members of Congress
proclaimed that this is evi-
dence that there is hope for gay
marriages after all.
Andr6 Beaulieu Lem6n,
the French minister of fash-
ion, while attending a confer-
ence on improper beachwear
at the Fontainebleau Hotel in
Miami Beach, was stricken
with a sudden attack of what
was only described as "mys-

tery" symptoms.
After being examined by
three prominent physicians
- two from Cuba, the other
from Pakistan it was deter-
mined that his only problem
was a gaseous mass that had
accumulated in his lower
bowel from consuming copi-
ous amounts of brie made in
China.
Later, he was presented
with a bill for $37,000. The bill
was immediately questioned
by the French minister and
he was promptly told that
American doctors don't come
cheap and we have the best
politicians that money can
buy to prove it.
And this just in: Cindy
Sheehan, the antiwar activist
who was first elected to the
House of Representatives
after beating out Nancy
Pelosi in a close race for the
Congressional seat from
California, was honored this
week by the National Sign
Makers Association for her
significant contribution to its
industry. Lou Dobbs, who
was said to have been a close
second, sent her a congratu-
latory note along with a
paper image of himself sta-
pled to a stick.
The immigration problem
that prevailed along the
southern border of the Unit-
ed States has been resolved.
Ross Perot, the billionaire
one-time presidential candi-
date from Texas, has created
the "giant sucking sound" he
once said the world would
hear.

Being true to his word, he
bought the Hoover Vacuum
Company and has created
and placed the world's largest
vacuum machine on the
United States/Mexico border.
It has yet to be determined if
this will halt the illegal immi-
gration problem in this coun-
try, but the border towns are
now proclaimed to be among
the cleanest in the world.
And finally, the war in Iraq
is coming to a close. After 37
years of occupation, Presid-
ent G.W. "Jeb" Bush Jr. (the
Third), was quoted, as he
spoke from the King's Palace
in Kennebunkport, "Heck,
there ain't nothing else to
bomb over there. Might as
well bring them folks home."
Tom DeLay's great-grand-
son, Tiny Tom, who is in his
23rd term as speaker for the
Throne, said that executive
privilege would be granted to
all the good people in govern-
ment and immediately sup-
ported his boss.
After all, he said, "What the
American people don't know
won't hurt 'em."

Youth changes life after diversity lesson

STAFF WRITER

Venice student wins

MS Society scholarship

SPECIAL TO THE
GONDOLIER SUN

Alicia Mossberg of Venice
was awarded a scholarship
by the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society Mid Florida
Chapter.
Mossberg is among 12 col-
lege-bbund students throug-
hout the Mid Florida Chap-
ter's 23-county region to
receive a scholarship for writ-
ing an essay about the chal-
lenges experienced by living
in a family affected by MS.
Mossberg is starting her
freshman year at the Univer-
sity of North Florida, major-
ing in nursing.
When Mossberg learned
that her mother was diag-
nosed with multiple sclero-
sis, fear and uncertainty
became part of the 8-year
old's life for the first time.
Hospitalization
After a long hospitaliza-

Let Gondolier Sun

you.

tion, her mother came home
unable to continue running
her own business, pursue her
passion for painting or roller
skate with her daughter and
the neighborhood kids.
But her mother was deter-
mined to regain her strength
and live as full and active a life
as possible. Finding a med-
ication that has prevented the
progress of the disease and
following a fitness regime that
includes working oiut and
swimming have allowed her
mother to achieve her goal.
Diagnosis
"It has been almost eight
years now since the diagnosis
and she is back. to doing
amazing," said Mossberg.
"She is working at a job where
she is active all the time and
can do fun, active things with
both my stepdad and me."
Mossberg has learned
valuable lessons from her
mom's undefeatable attitude.
"There may be unexpected
devastating things that cross
your path, but you can con-
quer them," she said.
For more information, visit
the MS Society Web site at
nationalmssociety.org.

Venice High School junior
Aaron Turner isn't afraid of
tough questions not any-
more, anyway.
He recently spent five days
participating in a project
called Anytown, USA, that
teaches diversity and toler-
ance. It made him ask himself
a lot of tough questions about
his beliefs.
"I really learned how to put
myself forward," Turner said.
"I used to be really shy."
The five-day program,
Turner said, consisted of
courses that taught the young
people to stand up for what
they believe in, accept others
and understand each person.
The program was filled
with exercises that forced
Turner to relate to his class-
mates and allowed him to
feel, physically and emotion-
ally, what it was like to be
treated differently.
One exercise showed what
it was like to be disabled,
Turner said. Some partici-
pants wore blindfolds and
others had their hands taped
or were forced to sit in a
wheelchair.
"For the whole day, I had to
live like I was disabled,"
Turner said.
According to Turner, some

courses ran from 6 a.m. to
midnight.
Judgment
For another lesson, Turner
said he got a glimpse of what
it was like to be a victim of the
Holocaust. Camp facilitators
turned off the air condition-
ing and had the participants
sit in a closed-in, confined
space for long periods of
time.
"Every day they had some-
thing that changed me,"
Turner said.
The lesson that influenced
Turner the most was when
the counselors split up the
participants by gender.
The counselors asked each
of the participants to stand
up when one of the questions
applied to him or her. They
asked questions such as
"Have you ever taken drugs?"
Turner said he felt moved
by the experience.
"You can relate to almost
anyone once you get to know
them," he said.
The physical and emotion-
al experience of learning what
it is like to be treated differ-
ently showed Turner what it
was liked to be judged and
gave him a taste of the effects,
of that judgment.
What next?
Because of his experience,

Turner wants to start a diver-,
sity group at his school. He
noticed the students in his
school are "grouped" off.
Turner knows getting peo-
ple to join his group will be
difficult people tend to
stick with what they know.
However, he remains unda-
unted.
"If I can just get people to
listen, it will take off," Turner
said.
But, he also knows it is not
easy to get people to listen.
Looking to the training he got
at Anytown, USA, where he
learned to not give up on peo-
ple, he said he will just keep
talking until people listen.
'"As long as I have support,',
Turner said, "I have a chan-
ce."

is heartworm-positive and will need treatment. Suncoast

in the 1960s gave the building
,a more modem feel, but even
'that project was "probably
hot as extensive" as the cur-
'rent undertaking, he said.
"This time we are taking it
back to what it was," Hussel
said. "There was a lot of piece-
meal work done and only if it
definitely needed to be done."
Jacksonville architect Roy
Benjamin who designed the
building in the 1920s would
likely approve its restoration,
but opera patrons likely will
applaud more loudly for the
creature comforts that are
part of the plan.
There will be 100 percent
more restrooms for women,'
50 percent more restrooms
for the men, new seating with
better sight lines to the stage,
hew boxes, new aisles, an
additional box office, a new
entrance that will offer more
protection from the elements,
additional lobby space on the
second floor and a new sepa-
rate opera club for annual
donors and opera co-produc-
ers. The new club will be on
the third floor and relieve the
pressure on the original
members-only club on the
second floor. That space will
remain, although, like every-
other public space, it will be
totally renovated.
Backstage technical facili-
ties will be updated and
improved. New heating and
cooling systems will be
installed along with new win-
dows, a new roof and addi-
tional hurricane protection.
The project's cost was bud-
geted at $20 million, of which
$18.5 million has been raised,
including a recent $500,000

Kresge Foundation. The Kres-
ge money is contingent on
the opera reaching its $20
million renovation goal by
June 2008. The $20 million is
part of the larger $60 million
Building on the Vision capital
campaign, the largest fund
appeal ever undertaken by
the company. In addition to
funding the renovation, the
campaign will strengthen the
opera's endowment and se-
cure its long-term future
through legacy gifts.
Currently on schedule, the
project should be completed
in time for opening night of
the company's 49th season
March 1, at 4 p.m., when the
curtain rises on "Rigoletto,"
which will be directed by
DeRenzi. A gala opening-
night dinner will follow the
performance, a change from
other years when the gala
dinner preceded an 8 p.m.
performance and was fol-
lowed by a champagne/ des-
sert affair. The season will run
through April 13, and include
Puccini's "La rondine," Verdi's
rarely-heard "I due Foscari"
(The Two Foscari) and
Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte."
The opera house is at 61 N.

Subscription prices for the
four-opera series are $90-
$842 per ticket, depending on

They made

history

As students return to classes
this week, one of their first
assignments may be to write
about things they did this sum-
mer. More than 500 will be writ-
ing about making history when
they joined millions around the
world being the first to get the
book, "Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows."
Thanks to Books-A-Million
in South Venice, muggles,
witches and wizards joined
other characters from the hal-
lowed pages of the Harry
Potter stories waiting for the
bewitching hour when they
could get their hands on the
final book in the series.
General Manager of Books-
A-Million Brenda Willis,
dressed as Professor Trelaw-
ney, magically appeared in
several places at the same
time, making sure activities
took place as scheduled. Jeff
Hatter, portraying Dead Eye,
organized the costume con-
tests. Myra Turley, known as
Professor Sprout, arranged
books and coordinated efforts
at the front of the store.
Sydney Blitchok from
Michigan won one of the
prizes. Her visit with grand-
parents included the Harry
Potter event. Elizabeth Long-
street spent the evening
)- dressed as one of the
Dementors. She made her
own costume. Micah and
Lucy Cole participated in the
contest and Lucy won an
award.
Top prize went to Dylan
Norris as the Bloody Baron;
he received a free copy of
"Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows."
Culhane Cole could barely
be seen under his unruly
black hair and beard dressed
as Harry's friend Hagrid.
The three-hour wait flew by
as the staff arranged face
painting, a movie, trivia con-
test, butter brew to drink and
the costume contest.
The store was filled with
teenagers who grew up with
Harry. Many were just 7 or 8
years old when they read the
first book. They lined up at
11:15 p.m. and the line went
around the entire perimeter of
the inside of the store.
"Wow, look at the cover,"
some of them said as the
books were being wheeled out
of the secret back room by
Books-A-Million muggles. "I
wish I could touch one,"
another added as they cleared
the center aisle of the store
watching the book carts pass-
ing by.
The first four books went to
Alyssa Bickler, Adrienne
Eckstein, Tali Ursel and
Elizabeth Longstreet.
The Harry Potter stories
capture the reader's imagina-
tion with their spells, charac-
ters and incantations. The sto-
ries capture the heart with
their overriding message that
love conquers all.
Bravo, Harry Potter.
One of our best
The special person of this
week is Brenda Willis, also
known as Professor Trelaw-
ney, general manager of
Books-A-Million. This well-
organized woman made sure
the Harry Potter gala at her
store exceeded expectations.
For more than four hours
Harry Potter fans of all ages
mixed and mingled and cele-
brated reading.
Willis is one of the store
managers in town who help
make Venice a terrific place to
live.
