teers, Coastal Wildlife was
large enough to undertake
the research experiment,
which had to'be approved
by Florida Fish and Wildlife
because the volunteers
would be putting some-
thing foreign on the beach.
"They want to make sure
it won't hurt wildlife or peo-
ple," Katz said. "It is a pretty
controlled experiment, giv-
en the variables of weather,
et cetera."

THE LAW
It is against the law to
release wild animals
trapped in other places. If
you have nuisance ani-
mals on your property,
deal with them through .
Animal Control. Feeding
wild animals and trapping
them is a nuisance that
becomes deadly at the
beach.

Guided by scientists, Katz
and the other volunteers
worked to remove as many
variables as possible, went
to a Web site that generates
random numbers and then
used those numbers to de-
cide which nests would be
treated with urine, caged or
treated with a placebo.

Turtle cages, along Gulf
Coast beaches could be his-

mountain lion urine.
Long used to protect sea
turtle nests from predators
such as raccoons, coyotes
and armadillos, cages come


with their own problems. It
takes two people to put the
cages in place and even then,
some critters still manage to
dig under the flange sur-
rounding the cage, finding
.their way into nests and
destroying the eggs.

edges on the beach," turtle
volunteer Wilma Katz said.
"In storms, the cages get
buried in the sand or wash-
ed out to sea and, they are
still not 100 percent effec-
tive. A lot of predators still
manage to dig underneath
them."
Katz, a longtime volun-
teer with Coastal Wildlife
Club Inc., heard about using
mountain lion urine as a
deterrent and suggested it
to the club.
"I don't know if it has
been done in other places
but the marketing promises
it will deter predators," Wil-

Tired of endless
* questions about where
a rebuilt Venice High
will be located, the
Sarasota County School
Board lays the issue
to rest.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Venice High School isn't
going anywhere, announced
the Sarasota County School
Board at its Tuesday meeting
at the Robert L. Anderson
Building in Venice.
The pronouncement may
have been a little premature,
since a site committee still
hasn't completed its work, but
board members and Super-
intendent Gary Norris were
more than eager to end the
debate.
: "We've seen the data," said
Board Chair Frank Kovach.
"Why wait for staff to make
a recommendation ... to put
it before us? We seem to be
dancing around (the issue)."
"Speaking for this superin-
tendent, that would be won-
derful," Norris said.
Just the idea of selling off
the valuable oceanside prop-
erty where VHS is located it
sits along the Intracoastal
Waterway to help pay for
another, bigger school stirred
a local debate.
Individual school board
members previously indicat-
ed they supported the school
advisory committee recom-
mendation to keep it where it
is, but hadn't made a final
announcement on the school
site.

finishing up a report required

Five in, one out in Venice City Council race


BY BOB MUDGE
EDITOR


The first person to enter
the race for Venice City Coun-
cil was also the first person to
get out.
Providing the only surprise
Tuesday when qualifying
opened for Venice City Coun-
cil, Ernest Roland Carter Jr.
gave notice he was putting his
candidacy on hold and look-
ing forward to continuing it in
2008.
City Clerk Lori Stelzer said
Carter has closed his bank ac-
count but she' has not re-
ceived a formal notice of
withdrawal from him. Carter,
however, sent out an e-mail
Monday evening though
campaign manager Susan
Clark announcing his deci-


sion.
"My plan is to put my
efforts behind Sue Lang," he
wrote, "and I am hoping that
all of you who have been sup-
porting me will join me in
backing Ms. Lang.
"I plan to re-enter the race
next year a stronger and
much wiser candidate."
Lang, president of Venice
Neighborhoods Coalition,
qualified Tuesday and will
challenge incumbent Jim
Woods. Also qualifying was
Ed Martin, who will face off
against Mayor Fred Ham-
mett.
Hammett, Woods and
Council Member Bill Willson
have all qualified as well.
Willson does not yet have an
official challenger, but Ernie
Zavodnyik, who also ran for


council in 2006, is expected to
oppose him.
Announced candidate
Gary Budway has not yet
completed the process of
qualifying either. He has indi-
cated he will also run against
Woods.
Martin formally announc-
ed his candidacy at Venice
City Hall just before Tuesday's
planning commission meet-
ing. In his.remarks he stressed
his experience in public ser-
vice, in governmental and
nonprofit agencies and criti-
cized Hammett and city
council for their handling of
proposals to develop Venice
Municipal Airport.
Martin said he supports
"environmentally sound eco-.

Sarasota County learning to build smaller schools


Teacher planning rooms are out, classrooms and

schools in Sarasota County will be cut in half.

The price tag to rebuild
Riverview High School a

dations for cutting construc-
tion costs for elementary
schools on Tuesday, with the
promise of more to come for
middle and high schools.
What they came up with
was a potential 17-percent
saving, or about $3.4 million
per school, on construction
costs or maintenance if all the
recommendations are imple-
mented.
The board gave its nod to
staff to continue heading in


that direction. Construction
staff needed it to proceed
with designing the next Ele-
mentary "I" School in North
Port.
Floor plan design changes
include reducing elementary
school corridors from 10 feet
in width to 7 feet.
Teacher planning rooms
will be eliminated.
Primary level bathrooms
will be reconfigured to share
between two classrooms,
instead of current "ed specs"
that call for private bath-
rooms in all new elementary
schools.
Classrooms themselves
will be reduced to 882 square
feet.

Those changes alone could

Other future changes could
include going from high-tech
air-conditioning chiller sys-
tems back to relatively low-
tech classroom air condition-
ers similar to those in homes.
An added benefit, aside
from the cost saving estimat-
ed by school staff, is that indi-.

County to move forward on setbacks


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Proposed rules governing
coastal setback lines are
expected to be approved this
month, following 18 months
of workshops, public hear-
ings and meetings.
. Revised language in a 25-
page ordinance draft will be
reviewed by the Sarasota
Board of County Commis-
sioners in late September,
according to Rachel Herman,
an environmental specialist in
the county Coastal Resources
Department. The commis-
sioners are expected to ap-
prove the ordinance while act-
ing as the Land Development
Regulations Committee.
Opposition to the pro-
posed new language months
ago by Manasota and Casey


Key residents led to their
retention of an attorney to
resist changes to the setback
code. Richard Boote, who
lives on Manasota Key, draft-
ed a summary of their posi-
tion, which reflected fears
about public access to what
they consider privately
owned beaches.
An earlier county draft of
the proposed ordinance com-
mented on access. But
Herman said that was
removed because the "cus-
tomary use" doctrine in the
Florida constitution dupli-
cates "our position. There is
no need to duplicate the state
language, although the coun-
ty will enforce the doctrine."
The term "lateral access" in
the earlier county draft ap-
parently troubled the Casey
Key Association. Did that


mean access to a "wet sandy
beach" or a dry one, which is
the high tide line? The state
constitution allows everyone
to walk on wet sand.
The current setback code
allows the commissioners to
approve variances for "reason-
able use" of barrier island
property. The proposals that
have emerged from the 18-
month effort by the county
and stakeholders would tight-
en rules concerning construc-
tion of pools, gazebos, guest
houses and other accessory
structures and notification of
neighbors. They also seek
improved wording in the ordi-
nance to remove subjective
interpretations of the code.
Hardened
Coastal areas seaward of
the Gulf Beach Setback Line


and waterward of a barrier
island line are considered
hazardous areas, in which
development would be sub-
jected to erosion, windstorms
and wave surge.
Because gulf coast beaches
slope very gently, a 1-foot rise
in sea level might send water
200 to 300 feet inland, accord-
ing to a study by the National
Academy of Sciences, issued
in October 2006.
The U.S. Geological Survey
reports that waterfront prop-
erty owners typically try to
protect land erosion with sea-
walls, revetments, bulkheads
and other armor. The regula-
tions governing them are
often piecemeal, with vari-
ances creating exceptions,
according to S. Jeffress
Williams, a coastal scientist
with the agency.

Two for the records


The 2007 Atlantic hurricane
season has set an unenviable
record.
For the first time since
record-keeping began, two
Category 5 hurricanes have
made landfall. Dean and Felix
followed similar paths across
the Caribbean to crash into
Central America as Cat 5s,
with tragic results.
Imagine for a moment if
steering currents had directed
them into Florida, with its
expensive coastal develop-
ment. How would either
Florida coast fare with winds
sustained at 165 mph and
gusting to near 200 mph?
It's a terrifying thought, isn't
it? And we're at the mercy of
forces beyond our control.

Ruscelletto Park


plans unveiled


COURTESY PHOTO
Ruscelletto Park's stormwater retention pond will replace a dilapidat-
ed building currently on the site at Hatchett Creek on U.S. 41
Bypass.


STAFF REPORT


City officials unveiled pre-
liminary plans last week for
Ruscelletto Park bordering
Hatchett Creek on U.S. 41
Bypass.
Plans call for demolishing
a former used-boat and RV
office building that is current-
ly fenced off on U.S. 41
Bypass near East Venice Ave-
nue, and replacing it with a
stormwater drainage pond
and park.
Parking access will be from
Grove Street. Sidewalk access
is pianied along. U.S. 41
Bypass.
The former office building
has been identified in Federal
Emergency Management
Agency's master basin plan as
below flood elevation, ac-
cording to Assistant City
Engineer Kathleen J. Weeden.
Demolition of the building
will remove this noncohform-
ing commercial structure
from the floodplain. The va-
cant property will then be
developed with a stormwater
facility including park ameni-
ties.
The stormwater facility


will provide water quality
treatment and attenuation for
stormwater runoff from the
adjacent Venice Avenue inter-
sections at U.S. 41 Bypass and
Grove Street in an attempt to
reduce the localized flooding
during heavy rains.
Planned park amenities
include a picnic shelter, park-
ing, an observation outlook,
benches, paved trail around
the stormwater facility and
educational signs.
Southwest Florida Water
Management District will
give the city $150,000 in
October, and the city will
apply for another $150,000 for
fiscal 2009 funding. The city is
also applying for a. $200,000
grant from the Florida Rec-
reational Development Assis-
tance Program, and may pur-
sue additional funds from the
Scenic Byways program.
The proposed improve-
ments may be modified dur-
ing the design and permitting
stages of the project prior to
construction based on rec-
ommendations of the city's
professional design team or
requirements by regulatory
agencies.


Local bridges generally OK


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Florida's 11,000 bridges -
270 of which are in Sarasota
County have been getting a
lot of attention since the
deadly collapse of the bridge
in Minneapolis Aug. 1.
A public information cam-
paign by the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation, be-
gun two weeks ago, has
reported on the efforts of the
state, counties and munici-
palities to examine the 6,000
bridges managed by the
FDOT and the 5,000 under
the supervision of counties*
and cities, to allay public
fears.
FDOT Secretary Stephanie
Kopelousos, describing the
state's inspection program as
"among the best in the coun-
try," reported that no state
bridges have been closed.
None of the 124 for which the
county is responsible have
been closed, according to
county spokeswoman Susan
Walsh.
Blackburn Point
Bridges are inspected at
least every two years, accord-
ing to Kopelousos.
"If an inspection reveals

that a bridge is unsafe, the
department closes it. If it
needs to be restricted, we
post weight limits," she said.
Newer trucks are heavier,
according to FDOT. The
department's policy calls for
heavier trucks to carry special
permits. Signs on bridges in
need of what FDOT calls
"rehabilitation" have been
posted about weight limits
throughout the state.
"Structurally deficient"
bridges are ones the depart-


ment believes should be
repaired or replaced within
the next six years.
"Functionally obsolete"
bridges do not meet current
road design standards. Black-
burn Point Road bridge in
Osprey is one of these. It was
opened in 1925, before cur-
rent standards were estab-
lished. It has been closed for
repairs, usually for about 24
hours, a half-dozen times in
the past three years.
Among area bridges re-


viewed during August are
those along U.S. 41 over Dona
and Roberts bays, Shakett,
North, South and Catfish
creeks, State Road 681 over
U.S. 41 and Jacaranda Boule-
vard, all managed by FDOT.
County-managed bridges
reviewed include the draw-
bridges over Manasota Key,
Albee Road in Nokomis and
Venice Avenue; and those on
Blackburn Point Road,
County Road 780 over Indian
Creek and Cow Pen Slough.

Senior Outreach Committee Holds Intergenerational Fun Day


The Venice Area Chamberof Commerce Senior Outreach Committee,South
County Family YMCA, and four local assisted living facilities participated
in the 12th Annual Intergenerational Fun Day at Epiphany Parish Hall.
Twenty-five senior residents from Alterra Sterling House,Aspen Bella Vita,
Pinebrook Rehab & Nursing Center, and Summerville of Venice, were
matched with students from the Y's after school program. Together they
created a craft project, enjoyed a catered lunch, and learned about one
another to bridge the"generation gap."

The YMCA provided the intergenerational teams with an interview form
enabling the pairs to get acquainted.The students were asked to tell the
group something unusual about their partner's past. There were many
interesting responses; one woman was a Marine nurse in WWII, and a
gentleman in the group has met the Queen of England! The Y also pro-
vided the group with a delicious Italian meal of ziti, salad, bread,and des-
sert

Rumour's Balloons created special "Barking Flowers" arrangements that
were awarded to the group's oldest male & female. The puppy shaped
bouquets were given to a man of 89 years old, and a woman who had
turned 99 justthe day before.


Jeanette Bell, the Senior Outreach coordinator of the event said that the
Chamber volunteers, assisted living staff, and YMCA employees were all
"extremely impressed" with the success of the event and the enthusiasm
of the students and seniors."We had three $10 McDonalds gift certificates
to award to the children;one forthe student who had the most interesting
fact abouttheir partner's past,and two more to the youths who were most
attentive to their senior partners It was extremely hard to pick, as they all
worked so well! In the end, Jan Damelio went out and purchased addi-
tional prizes so that each of the 16 children went home with a gift!"

The VACC Senior Outreach Committee would like to thank all of the par-
ticipating facilities, the South County Family YMCA staff, the Senior Out-
reach committee members, Karen Angle of Rumour's Balloons, and Jan
Damelio for making this event such a success.

For more information regarding the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce,
Senior Outreach Committee and how you or your company can become
involved with the group, please call David Pierce at 488-2236.

sites.
The committee did that,
but it's holding the locations
of the alternate sites close to
its vest until it has had a
chance to talk to the property
owners.
The school board was
holding out on making a final
decision until staff could
answer these questions: What
other sites are available, what


is the land assessed for and
how much would it cost to
purchase?
The end
They've identified the sites
and probably already have a
good ballpark estimate on the
value of each, but they haven't
approached the owners, said
Director of Long Range
Planning Ken Marsh.
And that's where research
may end. They may never be


able to answer the question,
could the school district have
saved money by selling off the
property?
Six months ago the SAC
debated even offering an
opinion on the matter until
the district identified alterna-
tive sites.
The school board was also
waiting for a more clear fiscal
picture to decide on whether
or not to borrow funds for a
number of high school


rebuilds before making a final
decision on where to site a
rebuilt Venice High. They still
haven't made that decision.
The SAC eventually made a
recommendation, backed by
strong sentiment aired at
three community meetings,
to keep the school right where
it is along the Intracoastal
Waterway at 1 Indian Ave.
near Venice Avenue Bridge.

hard as it sounds.
Sarasota County currently
builds schools that are larger
than some other counties.
A comparison of original
bids for three schools in Man-
atee County in 2006 showed
the schools in Manatee cost
between $17 million-$18 mil-
lion, while Sarasota County's
2006 projects came in at $20.2
million for Lamarque, and


$23.1 million for North Port's
fifth elementary school.
But the Manatee schools
were only 106,000 square feet,
while Sarasota County's
schools were 164,765 square
feet and 156,818 square feet,
respectively.
The per student compari-
son is roughly 128 square feet
per student in Manatee to 158
square feet per student in
Sarasota County.

volunteers verified one of 10
nests by digging to determine
there were eggs. This season,
because of the experiment,
volunteers must check every
nest, multiplying the basic
work by a factor of 10, making
sure each staked nest has eggs
beneath the sand.
Staked nests are checked
daily until the nest is de-
stroyed by predators or the
hatchlings emerge. Using the
random numbers they down-
loaded, volunteers either treat
a nest with MLU, use a place-
bo or cage the nest.
"The swabs are like Q-tips
on steroids," Katz said. "We
add a cotton ball on top and
.then dribble the MLU on it.
The whole thing is replaced
each morning."
At stake
The eggs have to be locat-
ed to determine if it is a viable
nest and also because they do
not place the swab above the
nest but behind and to one
side.
"If we can't find the eggs,


we can't include the nest in
the project but we still stake it
conservatively and hope the
predators don't get at it," Katz
said.
When hatchlings emerge or
predators destroy a nest, nota-
tions are made on the stake.
Tuesday morning, nest 41 in
Zone 1 was excavated by Katz
and Norma Jean Zvoseck, who
walk zones one and two south
of the Caspersen boardwalk.
Predators had gotten .into the
nest earlier in the season,
destroying 88 eggs at that time,
according to the records in the
book updated daily by volun-
teers. This was a nest that had
been treated daily
Twelve hatchlings emerg-
ed from the nest on Sept. 4. At
7 a.m., three sets of tracks
were visible heading in the
direction of the water. Four
eggs that had not hatched
were found in the nest and
one other hatchling had es-
caped the nest a few days ear-
lier, according to a notation in
the book.
Of the 105 eggs laid, 13

relative safety of the Gulf of
Mexico, if they got past the
other challenges to reach sex-
ual maturity.
Predators, including shore
birds, often pick off the hatch-
lings as they head to the
water.
One of 1,000 hatchlings is
said to make it to maturity,
when the females will return
to the same general beach
where they hatched 15-20
years earlier. If half the hatch-
lings are male, the odds in-.
crease to one in 2,000 turtles
that manage' to reproduce
themselves.
Increasing predator num-
bers exacerbate the problem,
which is why Katz and her fel-
low volunteers are hoping for
positive results from the
Coastal Wildlife MLU experi-
ment.

Some history
Volunteers working under
permits issued to associates
of Mote Marine Laboratory
patrol the six Venice beach
zones north of Caspersen (in-
cluding the boardwalk area)
to the South Jetty.
Mote volunteers use cages
but this year have switched
from the cumbersome mesh
boxes to flat screens of hard-
ware mesh.
"It (predation) is not a new
problem, but an increasingly
severe problem," Katz said.
"There has been an increase
in the destruction caused by
armadillos the past few years
and last year the canine dam-
age, probably coyote, was
severe all the way to Mana-
sota Beach."
Mote volunteers also have
reported increased incidents
of canine (coyote) damage

"We want to find some-
thing that is a deterrent but
has less downside," Katz said.
No return
One longtime volunteer
backed away from the project
because she has only one kid-
ney, although the MLU has
been sterilized and is consid-
ered safe for humans and ani-
mals.
"It is just pee, like cat pee,"
Katz said. "People handle
babies and pets. But it smells
really bad."
Volunteers wear rubber
gloves when they dig the
nests, apply urine or touch
turtle eggs, whole or hatched.
"We started a bit late be-
cause I didn't realize it needed
a formal proposal," she said.
"We got the permit June 21
and started the project June


28. It is labor intensive but
this is something we could do
because we have the man-
power."
Results will not be tabulat-
ed until the end of the season
because of the way records
are stored. Some volunteers
keep their books in the cars.
Others are maintained on pri-
vate property and some are
filled with data daily accord-
ing to who is walking that sec-
tion of the beach on a given
day. The findings will be tabu-
lated carefully before being
sent to the state.
"For our project we only
went to Manasota Beach,"
Katz said. "We hope we don't
push the predators farther
south. This whole summer
has involved a lot of work, but
once they are dead, you can't
bring them back."

Potholes, grass and other weighty issues


ere's a new phrase you'll be hearing
a lot from county government in
coming months: level of service.
You may not have heard it discussed
much in years past. No doubt, it was some-
thing bureaucrats kicked around in staff
meetings, but it was rare that it made it out
of back offices to the public ear.
If anything, the common buzz-phrase
was "customer service" as governments
began borrowing business practices from
the private sector.
Citizens were "customers." Sarasota
County government was broken up into
"business centers." It was the business of
county government to deliver its product -
service with a smile. You aimed to say
"yes" as much as possible to your customers.
And naturally, the customer was always
right.


Times are changing.
With budget cuts imposed by the
Legislature, local government is tightening
its belt. Employees are being laid off; the
product service is being scaled back.
In the business world, this happens regu-
larly in times of a recession. The hope is that
a business can ride out the economic down-
turn and begin to grow again.
Here the private and public sectors
diverge. You rarely hear a general outcry for
more government, unless it's a specific pro-
gram near and dear to the hearts of a partic-
ular constituency.
Individuals always will want more of the
specific services they happen to use, but will
still complain about the overall cost of gov-
ernment services provided to "them."
A person whose house is on fire does not
pause to question the fire department bud-


get until the ladder truck is slow to arrive and
comes with a short crew lacking a few hoses.
Nothing that extreme is occurring now, but
it's an obvious example of falling short of an
expected "level of service."
Public safety should be a given. The same
cannot be said for other services provided by
government. And that's why a discussion of
the level of service will now become a very
public discussion.
Sarasota County commissioners recently
discussed levels of service in what seemed at
time to be absurd detail. Here are some
examples:
When is a pothole a pothole? It had been
proposed that potholes would only be filled
when they were 8 inches in diameter.
Commissioners scaled that back to 5 inches.
Grass is being cut less. Grass in medians
will be cut when it grows to either 9 inches or


12 inches, depending on the location. (This
does not include the taller seed pods).
Stinking to high heaven? Revised rules
said dead animals weighing less than 60
pounds would not be picked up. (It was
uncertain how the aforementioned weight
would be determined.) Commissioners
dropped that rule change.
Sarasota County Commissioner Paul
Mercier, ever ready with a pithy quote,
quipped: "Sometimes I hate government,
because we don't always have the ability to
use common sense."
There will be more of the same. As the
government business nickel-and-dimes its
customers, many may begin looking back
fondly on the good old days of the "cus-
tomer service" era especially if the cuts
in service don't translate to significant cuts
in taxes.

Tax cuts may stifle growth


A sign on the wall in a con-
venience store caught my eye
the other day. It said the lot-
tery had pumped 18 billion
dollars into Florida's schools
since 1988.
That's a .lot of money, I
thought. Then I realized it was
less than a billion dollars a
year. Didn't .they promise
more when they sold us on
the lottery back then?
Actually it doesn't matter.
It's just another sign of the
ebbing support for public
schools in Florida. It's easy to
see if you look around just a
bit.
Take the recent rush to lower
property taxes. It may trim $7
billion of local tax money for
schools. The state Legislature
says it will replace it.
With what? They're going
into emergency mode in
September to cut a billion
dollars or more from this
year's budget. Don't bet the
ranch that schools would ever
see that $7 billion again.
And now the Department
of Education has plans to cut
$720 million from this year's
public schools budget. Is
there a pattern here?
But there's an even larger
problem than that. This lost


money for schools will have a
dramatic impact on growth in
Florida. In some parts of the
state, it may bring residential
construction to a grinding
halt.
The reason is school con-
currency. Until recently it was
an obscure part of Florida's
growth management laws.
Now it is relatively well known
as the law that restricts new
residential developments in
areas where space for new
students is scarce.

The problem is, the law
doesn't give authority to
raise money to build
those new schools.

In truth, school concurren-
cy is a complex and highly
technical law. But its bottom
line is that someone has to
build new schools in fast-
growing areas where schools
are already bursting at the
seams.
Under this law, it doesn't
matter who builds the new
schools. It could be the school
district or it could be the
developer. It could be the
school district and the devel-
oper working together.
The problem is, the law
doesn't give authority to raise
money to build those new
schools. And that's where the
trouble starts.
The cost of building new
schools has skyrocketed late-
ly. An elementary school that
cost $19 million three or four
years ago now costs anywhere
from $25 million to $30 mil-
lion. Middle schools and high
schools cost much more.


Very few developers can
front that kind of money for a
new school. And with state
and local money drying up,
few school 'districts can even
borrow that kind of money.
School districts have limit-
ed options to replace lost
state and local revenues.
There are some tried and true
sources as well as a couple of
new ones. But they all have
shortcomings, such as:
Impact fees sufficient to
build new schools would be a
substantial fraction of the
cost of a new home.
Local-option sales taxes
for school construction re-
quire voter approval.
Local-option real estate
transfer fees require approval
by the state Legislature.
Special taxing districts for
school construction require
approval by 100 percent of the
property owners in the pro-
posed district.
The fact is, local property
taxes and state funding must
do the heavy lifting to build
new schools. Without that
money, there will be fewer
new schools. With fewer new
schools, there will be fewer
new residential develop-
ments.
School concurrency goes
into effect next year. If voters
approve the property tax cut
amendment, so will the loss of
revenue from property taxes.
In the words of the old
Chinese curse, we may be
headed for interesting times.

Peter Rebmann is an
expert on school concurrency
and a founding member and
president of the Alachua
County School Concurrency
Project.

Timing is off. Well, they've done it again. They retimed the
stop light at Roberts Road and now traffic on 41 backs up all the
way down to Laurel Road because there is so much time for the
nonexistent traffic to come on to 41. They need to retime those
so that preference is given to the scores of cars that are on 41
and not the one or two cars that are trying to enter from
Roberts Road.


Isolation. I just wrote a
second response to children
in restaurants. I'm not asking
for children to be isolated in
the restaurants. I'm asking for
us to be isolated away from
the children. I am not an old
person. I don't wear a hearing
aid. And yes, maybe I will go
out and run over someone's
dog like the one who bit the
poor woman's finger off down
there in Nokomis.
Photo, please. I found a
letter in the Gondolier Sun
disturbing and hard to
believe. The writer claims the
Christmas tree in the White.
House Blue Room was
trimmed with drug parapher-
nalia and sex items. Can she
provide pictures to support
her accusations? Her remarks
about Sen. Clinton were
almost libelous. She also
mentions Clinton's reach for
power. Was working at the
White House not her little
claim to power? Why did she
not speak up about her accu-
sations and why did she not
quit? She sounds like a bitter,
spiteful woman.
Pick it up. I'd like to
address the young boys and
girls who like to party on the
Venetian Waterway Park
behind Ocala Road between
the Senior Friendship Centers
and the park. I would just like
to make sure that these kids
understand that when you
party, at least bring your trash
bag with you and take your
stuff with you, cigarette butts
included. I'm a smoker and I


never, ever throw cigarette
butts on the ground. I put
them in my pocket, in my
sock, I put them anywhere
but on the ground. We have a
beautiful walkway here.
Please don't ruin it. At least
take your trash home with
you when you come out here
and have your good times. I
don't have a problem with
your good times, but just take
your trash home with you,
please.
New vein. I have com-
plained about Mary Kay Rup-
pel numerous times, espe-
cially when she gets into poli-
tics. But I enjoyed her column
on the 24th and hope very
much that she continues to
write in that vein from now
on.
Be a gem. Thanks to the
person who turned in a shop-
ping bag left in a cart in a
Venice department store on
Aug. 12 to the customer ser-
vice desk. Prescription med-
ications were intact, but miss-
ing was a piece of jewelry
intended to cheer my ill sister,
so please return that also.
Missing. I would like to
know why the NASCAR sec-
tion in Friday's edition of
Wheels is not in the paper any
longer.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The page
was taken out of a section that
ran in the Gondolier Sun and
put into one that doesn't. It will
be back, in the A section, Sept.
5.
Stooping. Venice city gov-
ernment is stooping to a new


level regarding the recent fir-
ing of the receptionist at city
hall. Wasn't she blind? Who
meets and greets and directs
walk-ins now at city hall, a
new answering machine? I
hope Marty Black ponders
that question as he's spending
his $15,000 raise. And oh,
Gondolier Sun, you at least
put the dog-bite victim on the
front page instead of the dog
this time. Is this because the
dog wasn't available at the
time?
EDITOR'S NOTE: The recep-
tionist who just lost her job was
the person who bumped Alicia
Vis, who is blind, out of the posi-
tion.
Buy a mower. I was dri-
ving down Colonia Avenue in
Nokomis and loved the new
sidewalks and everything
they put in and noticed that
down by Albee Farm Road,
there's a nice boulevard-type
thing in the middle and these
nice trees and the grass is 2
feet tall. Instead of putting all
the bricks in the circles at the
intersection of Albee Farm
Road and Colonia, maybe
they should have saved some
money to mow the grass. And
besides, why do you need
sidewalks on both sides of the
street? There's too many
* streets in this area that don't
have any sidewalks.
No relief. You asked about
property tax notices. I have
three buildings and every one
of them has gone up. One of
them has gone up 10 percent.
There is no such thing as tax
relief or tax rollback. There's
some statement that it was
from 3 to 9 percent; none of
mine has gone down. I think
our politicians in Tallahassee
should take a good look at
this, because we citizens are
not getting tax relief.

Federal trial still possible for county


BY GEORGE MCGINN'
STAFF WRITER

Sarasota County might not
have discriminated against
the Tammi House, but it still
could have done something
wrong.
And if the Tammi House,
Renaissance Manor and U.S.
Attorney have their way,
County Commissioner Shan-
non Staub will be the one in
the hot seat.
The Tammi House in
Warm Mineral Springs is
made up of six rehabilitation
homes operating in a residen-
tial area. The Tammi House
on Sevilla Street has up to six
people living in each home.
There is 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.
U.S. District Court Judge

said. "Both sides are making
good arguments that can go
either way."
However, what caught
Whittemore's attention was
learning that after Coastal
Recovery bought the Tammi
Houses, the county changed
its position.
Staub said she could not
comment on the details of the
case, but did say she spent
more than eight hours in
deposition.
A pretext
In 2003, the county main-
tained that the Tammi House
was operating within the law.
After Coastal Recbovery pur-
chased it, there was public
clamor. The county started to
look into whether the Tammi
House was residential hous-
ing or community housing
with services offered to its
residents.
James Green, lead attorney
for the Tammi House and
Renaissance Manor/Coastal
Recovery, walked Whittemore
though its 115 pages of
exhibits. In them, Green said,
there are communications
before 2003 in which Staub


said the houses were operat-
ing within the law. However,
things changed after a public
outcry from residents living
near the homes.
Green said Staub commu-
nicated bias using code
words and was the lead in an
attempt to close Tammi
House down.
Green said Staub used
everything at her disposal,
such as: pressuring city staff
and other commissioners to
act, and looking at zoning
laws, manatees, water pollu-
tion and archeology impacts.
"They were going to find a
way to shut the Tammi House
down regardless of housing or
zoning laws," Green said.
"They were looking for any
reason. If that is not pretext, I
do not know what is."
Common sense
Green read numerous e-
mails and letters from Staub
to city staff, other commis-
sioners, and with the public.
In some e-mails and let-
ters, Green said Staub repeat-
edly stated: "It just isn't right
that a routine neighborhood
has now become a recovering


person's Coastal campus -
all except one family who is
taking the brunt of it."
Staub received an e-mail
from Warm Mineral Springs
resident Ray Stoner, who stat-
ed: "I am aware of the Sevilla
(Tammi House) issue ... .
Then why is this allowed? I'm
not interested in legalities,
there is a thing called com-
mon sense a one of a kind
place (Warm Mineral Springs
spa) on the planet and gov-
ernment is intentionally ruin-
ing it."
In response to this, Green
said Staub said that the coun-
ty provides as much code
enforcement as possible, and
that it cannot do things that
are illegal, "even if it seems to
be common sense."
No support
Lynn Calkins, lead attor-
ney for the county, said all this
correspondence are nothing
more than citizens communi-
cating with their elected offi-
cials.
"The e-mails demonstrate
that Shannon Staub was
responding to community
concerns, and responding to


community concerns does
not mean she's discriminat-
ing," Calkins said.
Calkins cited case law
claiming that responding to a
community's concerns does
not mean any wrongdoing
has occurred. One case cited
said even a racist has the right
to be heard without a threat
of discrimination.
"Nothing in any of the e-
mails supports discrimina-
tion," Calkins said.
Other case law cited'by
Calkins states that even if one
member of a multi-member
board is racist, it does not
mean the other members are
influenced.
"There are five members,
and the plaintiff did not give
you any other e-mails from
(any of the other four),"
Calkins said. '
Wrong but unbiased?
Whittemore asked both
sides if the purchase of
Tammi House was what
brought the issue to the
county, and both said yes.
"Is it then possible that the
county did not discriminate,
but was just wrong in what it


did?" Whittemore asked. U.S.
Attorney Andrea Steinacker
for the U.S. Department of
Justice said that was a possi-
bility
In 2004, Sarasota County
said that activities at the
Tammi House violated both
zoning laws and Florida
statutes.
On May 16, 2005, Ren-
aissance Manor, Tracey P.,
Richard A. and Gerard O. 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
a lawsuit charging Sarasota
County with housing dis-
crimination against disabled
individuals and is prosecut-
ing the county for refusing to
allow Renaissance Manor to
operate the Tammi House.
, Whittemore said he needs
some time before he hands
down his decision, and it is
expected to be filed.by the
beginning of this week.

Why have so many police officers died in the line of duty?


BY KEN KLEINLEIN
CRIME SCENE COLUMNIST

I have been contacted by a
number of Crime Scene read-
ers asking about the recently
reported murders of police
officers in the state of Florida.
Those who called asked
what is the cause and what can
be done to reverse this trend.
I did some research on this
and in the interest of space
will try to truncate what I
have uncovered.
In January, Highway Patrol
Trooper Sgt. Nick Sottile was
shot and killed while con-,
ducting a traffic stop and sub-
sequent high-speed chase in
Lake Placid.
In August, Broward County
Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Reyka was
shot to death while conduct-
ing an investigation into pos-
sible stolen vehicles, and
Deputy Maury Hernandez
was shot in the head while
investigating a suspect on a
motorcycle.
Also in August, Hillsbor-
ough County Sheriff's Sgt.
Ron Harrison was shot and
killed while exiting a DUI
checkpoint in his cruiser.
Former police administra-


tor O.W. Wilson, a nationally
recognized authority and
author on police procedures,
said that in every community
the number of criminal or
anti-social individuals usually
averages about 2 to 3 percent
of the overall population.
This statistic shows that as
an area's population increas-
es, so does the number of
criminals and crimes.
Ideally, the number of law
enforcement, correctional,
court, judicial, parole and pro-
bation personnel should
increase at the same level as
the population. Crime preven-
tion and intervention pro-
grams also need to be bol-
stered. This, however, does not
occur for a number of reasons.
No. 1 is funding. To acquire
crime-fighting tools, taxes
have to be raised, and we all
know how folks feel about
that possibility.
What with increases in fed-
eral, state and local taxes,
spiking insurance premiums,
sales and gasoline taxes and
others, most people say
enough is enough. Elected
officials are loath to dun citi-
zens extra for public safety.
They say they are listening to


their constituents' wishes.
Statistics show that the
amount paid in taxes for
increased protection is much
less than the amount lost in
cash, property, injury and
time due to criminal activity.
Judicial proceedings: Indi-
viduals accused of major and
petty crimes routinely eat up
large sums of tax revenue and
employee time by going to
trial, even when the case
against them appears to be
open and shut.
They often say statements
they readily gave at the time
of arrest were not voluntary
(even though taped) and that
they were forced into confess-
ing because they were
tricked, intimidated or physi-
cally abused.
Not having been read their
rights is another tactic. Just
about everyone can recite
them. Most of the people I
have arrested could quote
them to me.
Some criminals have lost
their intrinsic fear of the
death penalty. They know
there will be a myriad of
appeals and it could take
years before the sentence is
actually carried out.


They also rely on the fact
that a number of death sen-
tences are eventually com-
muted to life in prison.
Many times when taken
into custody, perpetrators do
physical injury to themselves
by banging their heads
against the inside of a patrol
car or purposely falling down.
An individual who commit-
ted the most heinous crimes
imaginable, if brought in with
his hair mussed, finds a
plethora of supporters hop-
ing to hurl a charge of police
brutality at the officer.
Case in point: An officer in
another state shot a perpetra-
tor who had just robbed, shot
someone and then fired at
him. The first thing a group of
individuals asked when inter-
viewed by the media was,
who fired first?
At trial, the case may be
picked apart by microscopic
and time-consuming minuti-
ae in an effort to find some
loophole that would preclude
the presentation of evidence
that could be of assistance in
producing a conviction.
In many cases, this could
result in a "not guilty" verdict
even if the individual, beyond


any reasonable person's doubt,
committed the charged crime.
Some officers I have spo-
ken to say if they honestly
missed something during an
investigation and subsequent
arrest, it should not result in
dismissal of all charges.
Turnstile justice: As crimi-
nal behavior and arrests
increase, correctional facili-
ties become overcrowded
and individuals must be
released before trial. This
equates to more repeat
offenders free to roam the
streets committing additional
misdeeds while awaiting their
trial date.
. The criminal who shot Sgt.
Harrison has a record of
numerous past violent crimes
and was actually on parole
awaiting trial on another case.
The situations stated. in
this column, along with oth-
ers too numerous to mention,
serve to affect police morale
and embolden criminals who
tend to commit crimes over
and over again.

detective with the New York
Police Department, works as
a frauds and crime consul-
tant.

Peacock not surprised by


Venice win over Riverview


TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR


Are you

sure we're

in Florida?

Now, I don't want to offend
too many of my readers in my
first month here at the Gondo,
but a Georgia boy with pater-
nal roots in the Florida pan-
handle just can't let this go.
The other day I found
myself feeling out of touch. It
was opening Saturday in col-
lege football. Florida was
playing Western Kentucky
and I had no cable TV I
searched the Web for a nearby
Gator Club, but the nearest
one was in Sarasota. With a
Sunday sports page to put
together, I would never have
made it before halftime.
Foolishly, I thought I could
join a group of Gators at any
local sports bar. This is
Florida, after all.
So I walked into the bar
that shall remain nameless,
plopped down on the stool
that would become my perch
for the next five hours, and
began to peruse the menu. A
burger called the "Maize and
Blue Burger (GO BLUE!)"
caught my eye. At first I was
surprised to see a Michigan
reference on the menu in a
Florida sports bar, but when I
looked up I realized that I
must have made a terrible
mistake.
In my haste to get to Venice
from Atlanta last week, I must
have gotten on 1-75 North to
Michigan instead of 1-75
South to Florida. I had never
seen so many Michigan fans
in real life. I had not seen so
many Ohio State fans since
the BCS Championship in
Glendale, Ariz.
Eventually I resigned my-
self to watching the Gators by
myself. I looked around to
find the game only to find
Ohio State beating up on
Youngstown State on the big
screen. I looked right, and
Division I-AA Appalachian
State was was beating up on
Michigan on three consecu-
tive high-definition flat
screens (GO BLUE!). Finally, I
spun around on my stool to
find Florida and Western
Kentucky on an antique
Zenith*in the corner behind
the bar.
I don't blame the bar man-
agement. Obviously, it's good
business to please the majori-
ty of the customers. But as I
sat staring at the antique
Zenith, the lone Gator at the
bar, the picture was so fuzzy
that it looked as though it was
snowing in Gainesville.
That's when it hit me. The
snow. That's why the Florida
sports bar was filled with Big
Ten zealots. My friend from
Syracuse to my right at the bar
told me the reason the place
was packed with snow birds
was because I was in the
rtririat capital of the world. I
told him my girlfriend, a sun-
shine state native, says that
retiree is just a nice way of
saying "(darn) Yankee."
"They can call me whatev-
er they want," he said. "I'm
not going back."
I can't say I blame him.

Last week's supposed up-
set win over Riverview High
School was no surprise to
Venice High School Head
Coach John Peacock.
In fact, he doesn't even
consider it an upset..
"I expected us to go in
there and win," Peacock said.
"Our kids expected to go in
there and win so it wasn't a
surprise to us."
The Indians jumped out to
a 19-0 first-half lead over the
Rams, thanks mostly to an
outstanding defensive perfor-
mance. The Venice defense
allowed only one first down in
the half, and that was as time
expired in the second quarter.
Junior defensive end Ger-
ald Oriol received this week's
defensive player of the week
award at the Linebacker Club
luncheon at Honolua Tues-
day. Oriol led the defense with
two sacks and four tackles for
loss against Riverview.
"Oriol had an unbelievable
game on defense but that
wasn't a surprise. We knew
going in that he was a force,"'
Peacock said. "We can't run
our offense (in practice) with
him over there. I have to have

Basketball coaches
needed
The Venice Special Olym-
pics basketball program needs
one or two coaches for three-
on-three basketball for the
upcoming season. Sarasota
also needs one coach for five-
on-five. If you are interested or
know someone who is, call the
office at 412-0402.

Venice High School class of
2004 product Graig Smith fin-
ished his junior year at Florida
Gulf Coast University in Fort


coach Shannon take him out
so we can run our offense
because we can't block him."
Junior offensive and defen-
sive tackle Mike Lopez
received the practice player of
the week award for having the
best week in practice. Senior
running back Jimmy Laurie,
normally praised for his work
on offense, received the spe-
cial teams player of the week
award for his punt that
pinned the Rams at their own
two-yard-line late in the
fourth quarter. Junior offen-
sive and defensive tackle Billy
Nagle received the offensive
player of the week award for
his hand in busting open
holes for the Indian running
game.
Linebacker Club Mickey
Lawrence was impressed
with the Indians' perfor-
mance last week, saying that
he had not seen this kind of
"refuse to lose attitude since
the 2000 state championship
season.
"It was supposed to be on of
those games where the very
talented and speedy, full-of-
Division-I-prospects River-
view Rams .were supposed to
have their way with the under-
achievers from Venice," Law-
rence said. "But as it turned


out, somebody forgot to tell
the Venice kids that they were
supposed to get beat."
The attitude change could
be attributed to this year's
new coaching staff.
"We're not re-inventing the
wheel out there," Defensive
Coordinator Larry Shannon
said. "We're just coaching our
tails off. Every practice we
challenge them to have their
best practice so when they
walk on the field today we're
going to challenge them to
have their best practice so far
this year. We coach effort like
crazy."
Friday the Indians contin-
ue their road stretch against
Braden River High School.
Though the Pirates are a first
year team and a smaller
school at class 3A, Peacock is
not taking them lightly.
"Braden River is a good
team," he said, "They're
coached real well. Their
offensive line and defensive
line come off the ball and play
hard the whole game. They
have a great quarterback. He's
one of the fastest people I've
seen on film so we're going to
have to do a good job of stop-
ping him."

Venice High School volley-

Tuesday night with a 25-5,25-

High School.


VENICE HIGH


The Indians came out like
a house of fire, winning the
first game 25-5 before putting
in some of the team's younger
players. Venice cruised in the
second game 25-13 before
hitting some stiff competition
in the third game.


' North Port kept it close for
most of the third game, but
found themselves down 24-18
at match point. The Bobcats
scored six unanswered points
to battle back to tie the game
24-24 before finallyfalling 36-
24. I I -. I
North Port tied Venice 5-5
in the second game, but a 17-
7 run by the Indians soon put
the game out of reach.
Senior Kaylee Ream blew
open game one with nine-
straight points served, giving
the Indians a 20-4 lead.
"The first match was really
good," Venice Head Coach
Brian Wheatley said. "Un-
fortunately I think we had
four unforced errors and they
scored five points, so we gave
them four out of five."
Senior Casie Richards led
the Indians with nine kills in
two games, followed by senior
Casey, Taylor with eight and
sophomore Whitney Steranko
with seven.
Steranko also recorded two
blocks and Richards recorded
three. Taylor Capasso led
Venice in assists with 26.

Nursing students on fast track at MCC


Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Venice Regional Medical Center and Manatee
Memorial Hospital have pooled their resources and money and created an
accelerated 18-month path to a professional registered nursing program.


BY SHELLEY DRAPER
STAFF WRITER

In the past it could take
three to five years to become
educated as a registered pro-
fessional nurse, but'today it
can be accomplished in 18
months.
Manatee Community Col-
lege South Campus, in con-
junction with Venice Regional
Medical Center and Sarasota
Memorial Hospital, created
this accelerated program in
2006 to help fill the needs of
employers and to fill vacancies.
The 18-month Fast Track
nursing program has grown
in popularity since its incep-
tion in 2006. The new pro-
gram transitions new gradu-
ates straight to work as RNs.
The approximate cost of
the complete program is
$8,000. Each incoming stu-
dent can agree to sign a con-
tract to work at one of the
hospitals in exchange for
tuition reimbursement.
This is the second year the
college has been able to offer
this program, and the class
has grown from 19 in 2006 to
24 students this year.
"We could certainly have
even a bigger class if we were
able to hire more teachers,"
said Bonnie Hesselberg,
director of the MCC nursing
program. "That is probably
one of the main things hold-
ing us back from expanding
the enrollment of this partic-
ular program."
According to Sarasota
Memorial Hospital's Ph.D.,
RN, Educator Carrie Hockett,
the need for professional
nurses is steadily growing.
The role of the licensed prac-
tical nurse in the hospital set-
ting is changing because of
the apuity of the patients that
hospitals, are seeing.
"We have a tremendous
need for RNs in the acute set-
ting areas and the medical sur-
gical specialities," Hockett said.
With the need to educate
and produce more nurses,
Manatee Community College
asked for help. The local hos-
pitals and various founda-
tions, such as Gulf Coast
Community Foundation of
Venice, rallied for the cause.
People, not illnesses
These students commit to
taking no days off during the
summer and spend non-
scheduled time in the com-
puter lab studying and
reviewing lessons.
"Nursing students are
encouraged to relate to
patients. It's important stu-
dents learn that they are not
dealing with an illness but a
person," said Dawn Garofalo,
MCC instructor.
From the first day of class-
es, students who have signed
contracts have jobs lined up
at Venice Regional or Sarasota
Memorial Hospital.
Sheri Caprata, currently
working as a pharmacy'tech,
is excited about the prospect
of working in any department
in the hospital.
"This is about having a
profession and being secure
in my profession," said
Caprata. "This is something I
always wanted to do."
Recently, North Port resi-
dent Tracy LaCorse, a certified
nursing aide, was at her
mother's side while she was in
the care of hospice nurses.
'"1 hey were amazing with
her, and I was so inspired; it's
something that I always want-
ed to do and this was set up
(timewise) just perfect,"
LaCorse said. "I get choked up
every time I think about how
greatii hy were with all of us."
Hospital recruiters spend
time with every student going
over the fine points of
employment contracts.
Student Matt Hais-
Schwartz, who was a military
corpsman, said he felt he
found the perfect program.
"It's not just about wanting
to be a nurse but about want-
ing a career," Schwartz said.
"The amount of learning that


we are condensing into 18
months is tremendous."
Meeting the
demand for RNs
Students 'and the three
sponsoring groups have a
vested interest when it comes
to the supply of nurses. While
the question of bringing a
much-needed hospital to
North Port is still in the plan-
ning stages, the need for
nurses there is not in doubt:
RNs are needed.
Hockett stated there is 'a
growing need for professional
nurses. Basically, the nursing
shortage comes down to not
having enough teachers to
teach, she said. If there were
more teachers, hospitals
would be able to educate
more students. There has
been a shortage of profes-
sional nurses in the Sarasota
and Charlotte county area for
years now.
"This is a county with a lot
of LPN programs, (such as)

"We hire for character
and train for skill:'
Carrie Hockett,
Ph.D., R.N., Educator,

Hospital

our own (Sarasota County
Technical Institute). Because
of the acuity 9f the patients
that we are seeing, the roles of
LPNs in hospitals are minimal
positions and placement (is)
mostly in, our long-term care
areas and clinics, or physician
offices and outpatient areas,"
said Hockett.
Hospital representatives
and college instructors both
emphasize they are looking
for people with the right atti-
tude as well as the potential to
be the right kind of employee.
"We hire for character and
.train for skill," Hockett said.

Little Salt Spring's prehistoric timeline


Little Salt Spring Research Facility Archaeologist Steve Koski, left, and University
dive 40 feet to take a sample from a piece of wood they believe is more than 9,000

Little Salt Spring ranks as one of the major archaeological sites in the
western hemisphere. Even though only 5 percent of the spring has
been explored, divers have found artifacts dating back 12,000 years


ago.
BY KHARLI ROSE
AND ERIKA CAPEK
STAFF WRITERS

After thousands of years underwater, a
handful of North Port's history resurfaced
in a Ziploc bag.
"They don't call it hardwood for noth-
in'!" said Steve, Kski to John Gifford after
the two emerged from Little Salt Spring
with a radiocarbon sample last week.
Kosdi, an archaeologist at Little Salt
Spring Research FacilNi., off Price Boul-
evard, mumbled this to his teammate
-while the two were 40 feet undenvater. But
Gifford, research director for the Uni-
v'ersity of Miami, was unable to hear as his

emerge from the spring after taking a radiocarbon sam
piece of wood 40 feet below the surface. "Now that's ha
definitely hardwood," said Koski about cutting out the
with a knife.


knife chiseled away at a piece of wood the
team believes to be at least 9,000 years old.
Both men spent 30 minutes in the
spring Thursday taking two samples from
a log nearly 3 meters long. One will deter-
mine the age of the wood and the other
the species.
"I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'd
love for it to be something great, like a
totem." Koski said.
Although a totem pole would be
impressive, Koski has been thrilled to find
artifacts that fit in the palm of his hand.
Pointing to a wooden stake a little more
than a foot in length resting in a plastic
container filled with spring water, Koski
picks it up and examines the pointed tip.
"This small wooden stake took
48 minutes to excavate and bring
.- to the surface. Its tip was the only
thing sticking out of the sandy
clay sediment. Can you believe
it's estimated to be 10,500 years
old?" he asked. "With this and
other findings, we can look at the
distribution of the stakes identi-
fied and perhaps see. why they
were carved and what their func-
tion might have been."
However, the most interesting
fact is that it was found right in
the back yard of "our homes,"
Koski said.

of the greatest archaeological finds in the
country.
Located near Heron Creek Middle.
School, Little Salt Spring is a 250-foot-
deep sinkhole on 112.5 acres of property
owned by the University of Miami since
1982. The hourglass-shaped spring was
first discovered as an archaeological site in
1959 by local divers.
"There is evidence of visitation and
occupation from 12,500-6,000 years ago,"
Koski said.
Working on the slope of the 78-meter
basin-like depression, Koski and pother
University of Miami divers are trying to
uncover evidence of ancient life.
"We have discovered a wide range of
preserved organic materials including
wooden stakes, textile fragments (delite),
deer remains and bone tools," Koski said.
"Because there is no dissolved oxygen in
the water, bacteria cannot grow and
decompose wood and the other organic
materials, offering unique artifact preser-
vation."

Unique
In June 2005, Dr. John Gifford of the
University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of
Marine and Atmospheric Science and a
group of graduate students discovered two
archaic artifacts, estimated to be 7,000
years old. One was a greenstone pendant
and the other was believed to be part of a
spear-thrower.
Fourteen days out of the year, five to 12
advanced undergraduates and graduate
students from the University of Miami
come to Little Salt Spring. Students partic-
ipate in daily underwater excavation at 20-
40 feet, as well as surface support activities
relating to diving.
Last year, Gifford and his colleagues
and students also unearthed two stakes
and brought one of the two to the surface.
They estimate it is at least 10,000 years old.


Little Salt Spring's 240-foot hourglass
shape has helped create a one-of-a-kind,
wet-site archaeology field school that links
visitors with America's prehistoric past.

"Since 2004, we have found eight wood-
en stakes and recovered four of the eight.
We have removed two of them for radio-
carbon dating and we're leaving the other
ones," Koski said. "We take a conservation
ethic in our work. We wouldn't have the
site anymore if we took everything we
found."
They are also planning an additional
excavation on the 27-meter ledge to
uncover extinct Pleistocene fossil remains
and 12,000-year-old artifacts that lie there.
However, because funding is so limited,
researchers are able to perform excava-
tions only once or twice a year, so only
5 percent of the spring has really been
explored.
"This is the most important archaeo-
logical site in the United States and it's
right here in North Port's back yard. This
is also the only opportunity in the U.S.
for college students to do fieldwork in
prehistoric underwater excavation," Gif-
ford said.
"We have so much potential to make
this site one of the best archaeological
facilities, but the funding just isn't there. At
this point, we don't even have the most
basic necessities like running water."

volunteer opportunities, call Steven Koski

... The News from Ecineville


BY TED RANK
STAFF ESCRITOR


This is part two of a three-
part look into the employee.
morale of Richarora County
workers.

Hang on to your sanity,
ladies -and gentlemen. It's
time for News from Ecine-
ville.
We continue with excerpts
from our interview with the
two "randomly" selected
Richarora County employ-
ees, Arthur Fiel and Mildred
Sumiso.
"So how long have you
worked here, Mildred?" I
asked.


"I've been here for 18
years, 18 beautiful years. You
know one thing I love is each
year I meet more challenges
and improve myself thanks
to management giving me
more and more work to do.
I've really taught myself
time-management tech-
niques, learning how to .do
85 percent more work in the
same amount of time. It's
been terrific," said Sumiso.
'Arthur, how about you?" I
asked.
"Oh, me, I've been here 37
years," said Fiel.
"Thirty-seven, years is a
very long time. Haven't you
considered retiring?" I asked.
"Retire, are you kidding?


I'm only 59 years old if I
retire I won't be able to afford
to live, I'd have to get a job at
L Mart and ... never mind
that, I want to start over. OK,
here goes. I love my job here
at Richarora County so
much, I've never even
thought of retiring. I want to
work here forever," said Fiel.
Fiel immediately looked
over at Richarora County
Media Relations Specialist
Rhonda Helpme and asked,
"Was that all right?"
Helpme, looking nervous,
said, '"Arthur, you just go
,ahead and tell the nice
reporter anything you want
and then you and I will talk
later."


"Yes, ma'am," said Fiel, "I
understand completely."
OK.
"Now Mildred, what
would do you friends and co-
workers, say about the pay
scale here for county work-
ers? Wasn't there a report a
few years back that showed
RC employees were paid a lot.
less than their counterparts
in other counties?" I asked.
"I wouldn't know anything
about that. I just know you
have to please stop asking
me questions. We were told
that if we didn't answer cor-
rectly we would be fired or
worse, be transferred to a job
in the lower-paying private
sector. PLEASE DON'T ASK


ME ANY MORE ... ," said
Sumiso, who then stood up,
screamed once and passed
out, falling to the floor.
Helpme grabbed her
Retextel walkie-talkie phone
and screamed "Code 7!"
Two men in black cover-
alls came in, lifted Sumiso off
the floor and took her from
the room.
"I'm so sorry about that,
Mr. Rank. Mildred has been
under a lot of pressure since
we eliminated all her vaca-
tion time, closed the child
care center forcing her to pay
$60 a day for private child
care, charging her $200 a
month for parking and tak-
ing away her chair," said


Helpme.
"I'm sure she'll be fine
after we give her one of the
new pills," said Helpme.
We'll be back next issue
with the conclusion of our
look into Richarora County
employee morale.
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, put the pill under
your tongue and pretend you
swallowed it, here in Ecine-
ville.

Are you in the market for a

are, obviously my first sug-
gestion is to select one that
has the Energy Star label.
If for whatever reason you
are selecting one of the oth-
ers, take a close look at the
-EnergyGuide label located
'somewhere inside the appli-
,ance.
f There are two important
pieces of information the
.label will give you o you can


compare energy costs and
consumption of different
brands and models.
First, look for the scale
showing the estimated ener-
gy consumption for similar
models. Second, locate the
estimated yearly operating
cost based on the national
average cost of electricity.
Both pieces of informa-
tion will help you shave dol-
lars off your electric bill and
provide a payback on your

Louder please my ears are broken


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST


For most of my adult life, I
have been profoundly hard of
hearing.
This news won't come as a
shock to those of you who, for
the past 40 years, have been
repeating nearly everything
that has ever been said to me.
By the way, I owe this malady
to Uncle Sam and the U.S.
Navy, where I was an aviation
physiology instructor and lost
my hearing in a low-pressure
chamber accident. But that's
another story.
A wise man once told me
that women talk twice as
much as men. I told my wife
this little profundity and she
said it is true, but only
because they, women, have to*
repeat everything they say to
men. Well, I don't know if that
applies to all men, but it most
certainly applies to me.
When I first started wear-
ing binaural hearing aids, I
felt self-conscious about hav-
ing something shoved into
both sides of my head. It was
awkward and I thought that
those who would see me
would think that I am an old
man ready for a nursing
home.
Then my wife told me that
I am an old man, but not

quite ready for a nursing
home ... yet. That didn't help,
but I didn't feel nearly so bad
about being hard of hearing.
Then, after finally getting
properly fitted for hearing
aids, I realized that I could
actually hear things that I
hadn't heard like my wife
yelling and the TV blaring -
for a very long time. I thought,
so what if I look like an old
geezer, I could actually hear
and it was wonderful.
In fact, the only problem I
had now was that I had
another item or two to take
off before I retired at night. I
had my glasses on the dresser,
my teeth in that little plastic
cup and both hearing aids on
the windowsill. I became con-
cerned that if I had any more
appliances, or consumed one
too many martinis, I would
need directions on how to put
myself together on getting up
the next morning.
Over the years, however, I
have become not only accli-
mated to wearing hearing
aids, but comfortable wearing
them in both ears and, in fact,
urge anyone with a hearing
problem to have an audiology
exam to determine if there is a
hearing loss. It not only could
make living more enjoyable, it
could actually save a mar-
riage, should your marriage
need saving, or maybe just
the friendship of a neighbor.
There are, however, some
things that I'm pretty sure I
would rather not hear.
Political rhetoric from myriad
political candidates spewing
copious amounts of bovine
scatology comes to mind.
I should share with you


that I have found a gadget
that, in fact, is a tremendous
help in my NOT having to lis-
ten the mind-bending mes-
sages from those wanting to
lead our nation. What I have is
a wireless hearing device that
I can control. It allows me to
listen to my TV without my
wife yelling at me to turn the
volume down.
I'm guessing here, but I
suspect that the dishes rat-
tling and the windows vibrat-
ing bothered her some when-
ever I listened to the evening
news.
It, the gadget, also allows
me to listen to my program
without having to listen to my J
wife talk on the phone, not
that hearing her discuss deli-
cate matters of family life with
a daughter bothered me, but I
really have no interest in lis-
tening in on her conversa-
tions. I avoid that thanks to a
wireless headset that sends
the sound from the TV direct-
ly to my ears, at the volume
that I want.
I should mention that it
works also when my wife
wants to listen to a program
while I shoot the bull with one
of my buddies.
This wonderful invention
is available at most electronic
stores and, if you have a hear-
ing problem, I highly recom-
mend acquiring one. And I
kid you not, it' really could
save your marriage if, of
course, it needs to be saved.
And, as a bonus, your
neighbors might also appre-
ciate not having to listen to
your TV I know mine do.

Humane Society of Sarasota County hosts 15th
annual black-tie gala.


FROM HSSC


Southwest Florida is in for
an evening of "auction and
intrigue," fine dining and
dancing, live performances
and more at the Humane
Society of Sarasota County's
15th annual Hot Dogs & Cool
Cats gala at 6:30 p.m., Friday,
Sept. 28, at the Chelsea Cen-
ter in Sarasota.
"This year's theme is a
Venetian-inspired masquer-
ade," said event cochair and
HSSC Board Member Donna
Thomas. "We've chosen to
recognize HSSC's 55th year
with a celebration that brings
together the mystery and
glamour of the fall and black-
tie seasons."
The evening's highlights


include a sumptuous dinner
prepared by Sarasota's Simply
Gourmet caterers.
"I adore Chef Larry Bar-
rett's work," Thomas noted.
"He's classically French train-
ed, but his 25 years of experi-
ence in New York and Los
Angeles bring in a host of
other influences that always
make his creations truly cos-
mopolitan. And his rustic
breads are amazing!"
In addition to post-dinner
dancing with the Lenny B
Band, HSSC will also be treat-
ing its guests to some special
performances during the
evening.
"We'll have opera, thanks
to husband and wife Ran-
dolph Locke and Carol Spar-
row, the world-renowned


opera singers who formed
Opera for Animals: Singing Is
Saving (OASIS). There may be
some surprises, as well,"
Thomas said.

As an open-admis-
sion shelter, HSSC
turns no pets away
and is exceptionally
successful: 98 per-
cent of its adoptable
pets found loving


hom


es in 2006.


Guests will also enjoy live
and silent auctions. Dress is
black tie/formal. Masks are


encouraged; costumes are
optional. Tickets are $175 per
person, with limited sponsor-
ship opportunities available.
For more information, call
955-4131, Ext. 121.
All proceeds will benefit
the Humane Society of Sara-
sota County, which relies on
community funding to pur-
sue its mission of promoting
responsible pet ownership
and securing permanent
homes for all adoptable ani-
mals. HSSC provides aban-
doned pets with compassion-
ate care and shelter, offers pet
adoptions, humane educa-
tion, affordable spay/neuter
services, and programs for
children, seniors and those
with special needs. As an
open-admission shelter, HSSC
turns no pets away and is
exceptionally successful: 98
percent of its adoptable pets
found loving homes in 2006.

Dinosaur time at preschool summer school classes


SPECIAL TO THE
GONDOLIER SUN
Students at the Venice
Church of the Nazarene
preschool pretended to be
dinosaurs at a two-week
summer school class.
Children and teachers
planned and completed
dinosaur-related activities,
including learning about pre-
historic fossils in their ses-
sions. Studying about ani-
mals that roamed the earth
millions of years ago fascinat-
ed the children.
One of the activities was a
class in which each child pre-


pared clay and then pressed
various pretend-dinosaur
bones into it. After the clay
hardened, they strung and
worked the fossils as necklaces.
The children played pin-
the-horn on the triceratops,
baked dinosaur bone bis-
cuits, painted dinosaur's
bones and even watched one
grow in size when placed in
water.
The Venice Church of the
Nazarene preschool provides
a Christian learning environ-
ment for children ages 2-5. It
is located at 1535 E. Venice
Ave. Call 485-4810 for more
information.

Sertoma 30th anniversary


FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST


Sertoma 30th

birthday

Fred Lugar and Ed Taylor
recently took a bow as charter
members of the Sertoma Club
of Venice celebrating 30 years
of service to mankind in
Venice.
More than 100 members
and friends shared stories and
partied at the Venice Little
Theatre enjoying luscious
food and drinks. The evening
included a multi-media pre-
sentation. Everyone left the
party with a DVD depicting
the past 30 years of club histo-
ry, including old hairstyles
and polyester suits that gave,
everyone a laugh.
Former president Wayne
Hall talked about the begin-
ning years when Sertoma was
a men's group of about 25
members who raised money
by selling beer. Other former
presidents Rick Hamm, Mick
Gardner, Bob Vedder, Greg
Miller and Don Hay added
their own anecdotes. At times
the men sounded like stand-
up comics.
Taylor looked up his years
as president on the Internet
and recalled Jimmy Carter.
was president and "Rocky"
won the Academy Award.
Each man talked about his
early years in Venice as a
)- young professional needing a
place to get together and
serve the community. Sert-
oma fit the bill.
Now membership is 125
and includes women. Kathy
Dailey, the assistant city man-
ager of Punta Gorda, holds
the distinction of being the
first woman to join the group,
in the early '90s. Janis Fawn is
the new president.
Thanks to the Sertoma
Club of Venice, children with
speech problems receive
therapy at a clinic at the
YMCA served by speech ther-
apist David Ursel. Stephen
Lingley currently serves as
Sertoma chairman for the
clinic. Ed Taylor talked about
the years Venice High School
had a Serteen group and
David was one of its mem-
bers
Sertoma Club members
always hoot and holler. Order,
to them, means shout out and
be heard.
Rick Tacy thanked every-
one for attending this spec-
tacular anniversary. His lead-
ership extended the long tra-,
dition of serving the commu-
nity started 30 years ago in
Venice.
Bravo, Sertoma members,
for all you do.
Oneof our best
The special person of this
week is Stephen Lingley. This
nice man knows the meaning
of community service.
As a Sertoma meniber,
Lingley has been chairman of
the reverse raffle, worked at all
Sertoma booths and made
sure the Speech Clinic has the
funding and direction it
needs to best serve the chil-
dren in Venice. Lingley takes
care of details making sure
when he is in charge that
things get done well.
Stephen Lingley is one of
the Sertoma Club members
who volunteer many hours a
week and help make Venice
great.
