Two men were killed and
one seriously injured when
their helicopter crashed in
the Gulf of Mexico off Casey
Key Tuesday morning.
According to the Sarasota
County Sheriff's Office, the
crash happened about 10
a.m. 2 miles offshore and 2
miles north of the Casey Key
Jetty.
Late Tuesday afternoon
the sheriff's office identified
the dead men as photogra-
pher Thomas Newby, 50, of
Manhattan Beach, Calif.,
and videographer Mark
Copeland, 44, from North
Carolina.
Helicopter pilot, Mark A.
Watters, 44, of Pasadena,
Calif., was listed in serious
condition at Bayfront Med-
ical Center in St. Petersburg.
The identities of the peo-
ple on the boat were not
released.
Sheriff's Lt. Chuck
Lesaltato stated in a news
release that the helicopter
crew was filming a cigar
boat (a type of expensive,


high-performance offshore
racing boat). The helicopter
reportedly was hired by a
boating magazine to shoot
video and stills of the boat.
On board the boat were a
male pilot (driver) and fe-
male model. They were not
injured. The news release
did not state whether the
helicopter crashed into the
boat or crashed into the,
water nearby.
The sheriff's marine unit
and'helicopter, the Sarasota
Police Department Marine
Unit, the Venice Police De-
partment Marine Unit, the
Florida Fish & Wildlife Con-
servation Commission Ma-
rine Unit and the U.S. Coast
Guard all participated in the
rescue.
The accident is being
investigated by the Federal
Aviation Administration; the
National Transportation
Safety Board and the sher-
iff's office.
Authorities are hoping to
recover the helicopter from
20 feet of water.

City council reduces height of Tra Ponti project


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR


The decision on Sept. 11 to
approve a rezone for the Tra
Ponti on the Waterfront pro-
ject was a gut check for both
Venice City Council and for
developer Mike Miller of


Waterford Companies.
Council voted 4-2 to ap-
prove Miller's planned con-
do-hotel after a lengthy pub-
lic hearing.
A second hearing is sched-
uled for Sept. 25.
For council, the decision
was about sticking to the


vision of a small, quaint Ven-
*ice. That meant taking a sec-
ond look at whether they're
serious about limiting the
"special exceptions" that
grant additional height over
40 feet (up to 80 feet).
For Miller, it's time to recal-
culate the numbers to see if


the project still makes finan-
cial sense.
He and land use attorney
Jeff Boone fielded questions
regarding height, density,
traffic patterns, adequate
parking, the economics of
building a condo-hotel versus
residential condominiums,


green space and more.
For the motion
Bill Willson made the
motion to reduce the request-
ed height from 80 feet to 66
feet for two of the four 80-feet

Jews celebrate sweetness of the new year River Road speed limit
______n___d__ w m-nh


At sundown this evening,
Sept. 12, Jews enter the most
holy time of their year, the
Days of Awe, which extend
from Rosh Hashana through
Yom Kippur.
Jewish holidays begin at
sundown and end at nightfall
of the day listed on the calen-
dar.
Rosh Hashana, the lewish
NewYear is a time of feasting,
particularly on sweet things
such as -apples dipped in
honey to wish everyone a
sweet new year.
"The custom is to dip
apples in honey," said Rabbi
Ann Campbell White of the
Jewish Center of Venice. "It is
to symbolize the wish for a
sweet new year. Typically the
saying is: 'May it be your
(God's) will to renew us for a
year that is good and sweet.'"
The reference is to the
books in which God writes
the names of those who will
live and those will die during
the new year. OnYom Kippur,
the end of this 10-day period,
the names are sealed, but
those who properly atone for
any misdeeds may cause God
to change his mind and grant
them another year.
"Every person who comes
to the service will get a little
jar of honey wishing them a
sweet new year," White said.
At the end of the service,

they also will have a piece of
fresh-baked challah, a sweet
bread traditionally served at
each sabbath service.
In the round
Last Friday, center mem-
bers Linda and Bill Hershko-


wicz began their holiday
preparations by baking chal-
lah and cooking apples with
raisins and honey. Linda
bakes challah every Friday for
the center's sabbath services.
For Rosh Hashana, the chal-
lah will be round.


"Some say it is because a
round one symbolizes a
crown ... with which God tra-
ditionally rewards the people
of Israel if they are righteous,"
White said. "I think it also
symbolizes the circle of the
holidays how the begin-
ning of the season follows the
end of the season, like the cir-
cle of life."
The symbolism of the the
challah includes even the
grains from which it is made.
Considered to be a rich man's
bread, challahs are served in
pairs on the sabbath and on
holidays as symbols of the
double portions of manna
received in the dessert the
day before the sabbath (Ex-
odus). None was received on
the sabbath, a day for reflec-
tion and prayer but not work.
Even the braiding of the
challah is symbolic, remind-
ing people of the creation of
the world, the Exodus from
Egypt and the Messianic era.
To some, the braids are a
reminder to observe the Ten
Commandments, to remem-
ber the sabbath and to keep it
holy.
After the blessing, the chal-
lah is broken apart, not cut.
Parent and child
For Rosh Hashana, the
challah often contains raisins
for extra sweetness. In some
congregations it is shaped like

County Commissioner Paul Mercier proposed a
joint meeting with officials from Charlotte
County and North Port to determine the


restoration of the roadway

BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

Sarasota County commis-
sioners decided Tuesday it
was time to discuss the
restoration of River Road -
after unanimously voting to
change its speed limit from 55
to 45 mph.
"I guess this rural road has
finally become urban," Coun-
ty Commissioner Shannon
Staub said before the vote.
"It's sort of one of those
watershed moments."
County Commissioner Paul
Mercier proposed a joint
meeting with officials from
Charlotte County and North
Port to determine the future
of this major artery from the
Cape Haze Peninsula to
Interstate 75.
"We should all probably try
to get on the same page,"
Mercier said. "In the past
there didn't seem to be sup-
port for some portions of
River Road coming around
Charlotte County. We should
meet to make certain we all
know what we're doing to
each other along the borders


of North Port, Sarasota Coun-
ty and Charlotte County."
Eating the elephant
Mercier has said that solv-
ing the problem of widening
and enhancing River Road is
"like eating an elephant one
bite at a time."
Addressing the South West
County Alliance of Home-
owners Associations in June,
he said the best way to begin
upgrading River Road was to
divide it into three parts: the
stretch between 1-75 and U.S.
41, the one between U.S. 41
and Winchester Boulevard
and the one from Winchester
to State Road 776.
Mercier warned his fellow
commissioners it is impor-
tant to keep talk of money
from creeping too early into a
joint meeting on River Road.
"Let's start off with what
their plans are, what our
plans are, where we see some
commonality and figure out
how we get there," Mercier
said. "River Road continues to
jump around on everybody's

Wildlife center seeks special exception


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Linda Schrader describes
the Venice Wildlife Center that
she and Kevin Barton have
run since 2004 as "a second
chance at life for injured, sick
and orphaned wildlife."
She hopes that Sarasota
County will give the center its
chance to survive.
The center is before the
county planning commission
on Sept. 20 for a special excep-
u tion to allow it to' continue
operating as an animal hospi-
tal on Schrader's 41/2-acre
property on Border Road, next
to the Carlton Preserve.
The petition was prompted
by the county's questioning
the center's operation as a
boarding hospital under cur-
rent zoning regulations.
"That caught us by sur-
prise," said Schrader. "We
thought we'd been grandfa-
thered to allow us to rehabili-


tate animals. We're not a zoo.
We don't board wildlife. This is
just a quiet place for sick,
injured and abandoned wild-
life to recuperate in a near-
natural setting without the
burden of being open to the
public."
According to Schrader, the
center has all the necessary
state and federal regulatory
permits to operate.
"We are advised that coun-
ty zoning OUE-1, the classifi-

Facilities, have been
upgraded to comply with new
county requirements. Two
squirrel/songbird enclosures,
40 animal hutches, turte/tor-
toise and raccoon habitats,
aviaries and hundreds of cages

has many trees and a pond.
A nonprofit facility, the
center has earned wide com-
munity support. Last week,
Venice City Council and the
Sarasota-Manatee Sierra Club
urged the Board of County
Commissioners by letter to
approve the center's petition.

Our government made
public something last week
that this area of Florida would
rather not know.
NASA says it has the first
computer model able to pro-
ject the consequences of glob-
al warming on small storms.
As the atmosphere warms,
small storms will become
stronger, NASA says.
This area of Florida is
known as "the thunderstorm

we were a business, we'd be

That being the case, about
the last thing we want to know
is that the thunderstorm cells

Second mediation not enough to

settle Sharky's dispute


Sideways, but OK


Fill in the blanks, that's
the name of this game.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR
Despite two court-ordered
mediations, Pier Group Inc.,
owners of Sharky's on the Pier
Restaurant, and the city of
Venice still haven't settled
their differences over a lease
dispute.
The city is suing Sharky's to
get out of what it considers a
bad contract.
City Manager Marty Black
said he was hopeful in resolv-
ing the dispute and was ready
to put it on the Sept. 11 city
council agenda, but had to
pull the item after he was
unable to secure Pier Group's
sign off on the deal.
"They reconsidered their
agreement," Black said.
It's the second time Black
said he had left a mediation


with what he thought was a
finalized agreement, only to
see it dissolve days later.
City officials directed Black
to get out of the agreement
that literally has blanks in it
where the rent amount is sup-
posed to be. There are also
blanks on how the rent is cal-
culated.
According to Black, Pier
Group Inc. said they know
what the figures are, and so
does the city.
Council wants the figures
filled in ink, along with a rene-
gotiated rent.
Black said he will meet
again with Pier Group Inc. on
Friday to see what the hold up
is. They've been in mediation
for six months.
"The city raised concerns
regarding the existing lease
and agreement for alterna-
tions because of a series of
blanks and other uncertain-
ties created by the language of
the agreement as they pertain


to an expansion and renova-
tions to the existing restau-
rant," Black said.
Selected items in the tenta-
tive agreement include:
All blanks within the lease
and expansion agreement are
rectified with clear terms
explicitly identified.
Base rent will increase
from its current $12,000 to
$95,000 beginning this fiscal
year, with annual CPI increas-
es in the future.
The city's percentage of
revenues will increase from
the current 5 percent to 6 per-
cent of gross receipts in
excess of $1.5 million
Pier Group agrees to
reimburse the city for one half
of the costs of recently com-
pleted parking lot, stormwa-
ter facilities and festival
grounds to the south of the
pier ini the amount of
$594,709.

Commission pledges jail will stay open


After hearing testimony from county residents and the sheriff, the Sarasota
County Commission said Monday night it would find the additional $1.2
million needed to keep the Venice holding facility open.


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

They blinked.
The Sarasota County Com-
mission indicated it would
come up with about $1.2 mil-
lion Monday night to keep
the Venice holding facility
open if it had to despite a
plea to Sheriff William Balk-
will to make further cuts in
his budget for the jail.
Balkwill has threatened to
shut the facility down, claim-
ing he has no room in his
budget to fund it.
"We do need the jail," said
County Commissioner Paul
Mercier, before a crowd pre-
dominantly from North Port
dressed in red as a sign of sol-
idarity. "If this is a standoff, I'll
blink."
North Port City Commis-
sioner Vanessa Carusone en-


courage the county commis-
sioners to take money from
her city's contributions to the
county to cover the costs
required to keep the jail open.
"Even with the reduction
in your millage rate and the
reduction in our millage rate,
there's still an additional
$660,000 that will be added to
your coffers from the city of
North Port," Carusone said. "I
implore you to take that
money and put it toward the
sheriff's department budget.
Because if there is anything
that is needed that cannot be
cut, it's the life, safety and
well-being of our South
County residents."
That's when County Com-
missioner Shannon Staub fell
in with Mercier, despite her
earlier input on a motion that
would encourage County
Administrator Jim Ley to


work with Balkwill to find
more money in his budget -
as well as other sources for
the facility.
"I can only speak for
myself," Staub said. "I'm
blinking. I'm ready. Let's get it
done. Get it over. And I'm very
sorry that we even had to
come to this point."

Not budging
Things didn't start out in
such a conciliatory manner.
Before the meeting, County
Commissioner Joe Barbetta
was adamant about two
things: The jail must stay
open and the sheriff must
help.
"We're going to have to fig-
ure out a way to keep it open
and hopefully we'll get some
cooperation from the sheriff
to help us do that," Barbetta
said. "I can't conceive us not


Commissioners waive pay raises


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

Instead of giving themselves
a raise, Sarasota County com-
missioners voted unanimously
Tuesday to take a dose of their
own medicine in a volatile
budgetyearthathas seen them
make so many cuts elsewhere.
The commissioners cur-
rently make about $77,000
each. The increase, as suggest-
ed by the Legislature in accor-
dance with a formula found in
state statutes, would have
taken them to $78,465 a
raise of around 1 percent
County Commissioner Jon
Thaxton asked his colleagues
to take the high road.
"I say we take no increase,"
Tim9A)said.," think a.puts
the board in a position that
when we are negotiating with
the Legislature and when we
are discussing the very difficult
issues in the years to come, this
issue can't be used in any way,
shape or form as leverage


(against us)."
Thaxton said the move
enabled the commissioners "to
give earnest and sincere con-
versation to constituents, the
Florida Legislature and to
whomever else may ask that
we did our share, we did our
part now what are you
bringing to the table?"

Not for the money
County Commissioner
Shannon Staub calculated
their current salary, when
divided by the number of
hours they work, came to
around $15-$16 an hour. .
"Try eight or nine an hour,"
laughed County Commis-
sioner Joe Barbetta.
"I was violating minimum
wage law 'there fr ahil,"
Thaxton said.
County Commissioner Paul
Mercier joked he lives in a two-
income, home and could
weather the hit
"I think this is nothing but a
political discussion," said


Commission Chair Nora Pat-
terson. "Its an election year;
there are three people up for
election. Somehow we want
folks to have trust in us when
we have too little money. But
think of the precedent you're
actually setting here."
Patterson maintained she
didn't "give a fig" about the 1-
percent increase.
"The principle is you do a
job, you get paid," Patterson
said, adding she would go
along with the majority.
Staub moved to not approve
the ordinance that would have
awarded. the two-year pay
increase.
Thaxton seconded the
motion, which passed 5-0.
"We're not here for the
mqief",sid Barbettq. I ire
here because we like the work
and we're trying to do what's
right for the county. And we're
certainly worth a hell of a lot
more than $77,000 I can tell
you that right now."

doing everything we possibly
can to keep it open."
Barbetta said he learned
Venice was willing to with-
draw its condition for the
sheriff's office to pay rent for
the facility, which he saw as a
good first step toward coming
to a solution.
"So it really comes down to
the sheriff's manpower," Bar-
betta said, hinting Balkwill
might make cuts in shifts,
hours or jobs.


But when Balkwill came
forward to state his case, it
was plain to see he wasn't
going to budge.
"We're down about 27
positions right now," Balkwill
said. "The only way we can
(keep the jail open) right now
is through overtime."
Balkwill said there are
other services his department
provides to the county that
add costs to his budget. These
include working with the fire


department, the Sarasota
Police Department, animal
services, roads and bridges
and other internal services for
the county.
"We've also cut over 100
vehicles from this year's bud-
get," Balkwill said. '"As far as
staff goes, I challenge you to
compare our staff levels with
any other agency surround-
ing us right now."

School district to favor local contractors


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER


The Sarasota County School
Board is going to take another
look at its process for picking
contractors.
The school board uses a
,point system to award con-
struction contracts to con-
tractors. An
ad hoc com-
mittee is re-
sponsible for
reviewing the
applicants.
"We do not
bid our con-
struction pro-
cess," Board
Chair Frank Todd
Kovach said at
a workshop
Tuesday.
The board members have
Been discussing their desire
to give more points to local
businesses since April. How-
ever, Tuesday they wanted to
clarify what defines a "local"
business.
"It should be board policy
to reward local contractors,"
Board member Carol Todd
said.
"That's who's., going to give
us the best service," Kovach
said.


The board members de-
vised a point system for lo-
cation: A contractor with a
registered home office in
Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte
or DqSoto county gets 10
points; contractors in Pi-
nellas, Hillsborough, Lee and
Hardee counties will receive
seven points; a contractor in
any other
county in
Florida will
receive four
points; out-of
state contrac-
," tors get no
.. points for lo-
cation.
The board
Kovach members
want to use
this new pro-
cess to choose a contractor to
complete Elementary School
I in North Port, which Districti
Chief Operating Officer Scott
Lempe said should be under
way by December.
But that's not the only rea-
son they need to make the
change quickly.
"We have a lot of work
coming up," Kovach said.
Point problems
Todd and Kovach also
brought up inequities in the


point process for assigning
construction contracts.
"No matter what we do
with the points," Kovach said,-
"they can still be... "
Todd finished his sentence.
"Manipulated. I'll say it,"
she said. '
Applicants can get up to 20
points for factors such as a
contractor's interview rating
and ability to perform. That
allows members of the ad hoc
committee to compensate
contractors to make up for
some areas where they may
fall short, such as location.
"There is so much subjec-
tivity in the current system,"
Todd said. "I think it is time to
give local preference."
The board will vote on the
revised policy in a month.

clinii@venicegondolier.com ,1


The Sarasota County School
Board adopted the final 2007-
08 budget on Sept. 11.
The budget reflects a
$458,664 decrease from the
July 19 tentative budget of
$433,129,979, making the
final budget $421,975,297, not
including capital dollars.
The decrease in funds had
nothing to do with decreased
student enrollments.
According to Al Weidner,
deputy chief financial officer
for the .district, the decrease
comes from lowered rev-
enues and transfers from
maintenance and equipment
budgets to the capital budget.
Even though the board
members voted for the final
budget 4-0 (Carol Todd was
absent), chances are the bud-
get still isn't final.'
Weidner said the Sept. 11
figures do not represent any
decreases from lowered stu-
dent enrollment or the state-
wide $1 billion shortfall (4
percent to each district) of
education dollars. Those
could decrease the budget
again. The exact dollar
amount has yet to be deter-
mined.
The district's fund balance
is to its maximum capacity,
and Weidner said it will have
to absorb some of the loss of
funds from the state Leg-.
islature and lowered student
enrollments.
"We're going to weather
this OK, but we're going to
have to do a lot of preplan-
ning next year," Weidner said.


Board reaction
The school board mem-
bers were happy about the
district's ability to absorb cuts
and still main-
tain a healthy
budget.
BoardChair
Frank Kovach
and Board --
Vice Chair Ka-
thy Kleinlein
compared the
district's bud- L,
get to the Sara- Kleinlein
sota County
budget.
Kovach said the school dis-
trict was better prepared than
the county for
the decrease

Kleinlein
agreed. A
"The Sara-
sota County
School Board
is in a posi-
tion to not cut
back any of Zucker
our pro -
grams," Klein-
lein said.
"There will be no layoffs.
We can do that and still not
impact our students' educa-
tion," she said.
Board
member Car-
oline Zucker
said she voted
for the budget
with great
pride.
A word of
caution
The ptaiseBrown
of the budget Brow


did not come without words
of caution.
'Board member Shirley
Brown asked for the district
staff to not get complacent.
"We have to be very con-
servative," Brown said. "We
will be able to weather the
storm this year, but we have
to be careful with what's
down the line."
Brown was worried about
what will happen in subse-
quent school budgets be-
cause of the state of the econ-
omy


"We have to be very
conservative. We will
be able to weather
the storm this year,
but we have to be
careful with what's
down the line."

Sarasota County
School Board
Member
Shirley Brown




Kovach had similar con-
cerns.
"Things are really bad out
there," Kovach said. "People
are making less money than
they did last year. It's going to
get worse before it gets any
better."
"We're going to have to do
what everyone else is doing
which is to cut back on our
expenses."

buildings.
"If you went from six sto-
ries (on the two eastern
condo-hotel towers) to five
stories (on the two western
towers) to four stories (for the
restaurant building), then it
would truly be stepped down.
"Quite frankly, that was
what we (thought) we were
going to see. I'm quite disap-
pointed... "
Mayor Fred Hammett and
John Moore all expressed
similar disappointment at the
developer for not coming in
with less height or density.

rant

"For me personally, I would
be comfortable if they were four
stories," Moore said. "I think
this is one of the most impor-
tant decisions we will make."
Hammett and Woods rec-
ognized the work Waterford
Companies did in meeting
with members of the commu-


nity on numerous occasions
to address their concerns.
Council Member Rich Tacy
returned for the first time
since surgery this summer.
He was excused midway
through the proceeding.
Willson, Woods and Ham-
mett, all up for election in
November, agreed reducing
height on some of the
planned buildings on Amer-
ican Legion Drive near Venice
Avenue Bridge was in keeping
with public sentiment.
Their respective council
race challengers Ernie Za-
vodnyik, Sue Lang, and Ed
Martin were in the audi-
ence Tuesday, as well. During
the public comment portion
of the meeting all three urged
the council to delay its deci-
sion and/or reduce the height
even further.
Their position was clear -
stick to four stories, and make
sure the "special exceptions"
aren't the norm.
Against
Council Members Vicki
Taylor and John Simmonds
voted against the motion to
reduce the project's height.
They, too, applauded Mil-
ler for going to great lengths
to bring the height down from
its original nine stories, sepa-
rating the early plan of one
large building into four sepa-
rate buildings with public
amenities, and making other


changes at the behest of the
community.
Taylor chastised council
for not being clear about its
intent.
"Mike Miller submitted
plans the way we directed
him," she said.
"If four stories is our driver,
we need to (make that deci-
sion) today," Taylor said.
"I have many of the same


concerns" Simmonds said.
"(Yet) I have to sympathize
with Mr. Miller. (He) worked
on this so long.
"(He) may well walk away
if we go down to five stories."
And that wouldn't be good
for Miller or for Venice, he
added.
Next
Miller defended his plan at


length, citing numerous pub-
lic gatherings and communi-
ty meetings.
He estimates the Tra Ponti
project, and the adjacent
Waterford Waterfront Condo-
miniums on Tampa Avenue,
will generate $2.4 million in
city and county ad valorem
taxes up from $60,000 be-
fore revitalization.
"The economic reality is it


has to be built to be success-
ful," Miller said.
He urged council to com-
promise.
Council could rethink its
position in two weeks when it
meets Sept. 25 for a second
reading on the Tra Ponti re-
zone application.

"Rosh Hashana is a most
optimistic day," Rabbi Sho-
lom Schmerling of Chabad of
Venice and North Port. "We
cut a deal with God, so to
speak. We take .new year's res-
olutions upon ourselves to
improve our ways and in
return, we ask God to bless us
and our children with health
and sustenance throughout
the upcoming year. It really
isn't much different than par-
ents and children resolving
their differences. We walk
away from the services with a
wonderful, positive feeling,
full of motivation and hope
for the coming months."..
, In the temples on Rosh
Hashana, the shofar (r~i's
horn) will be blown for a total
of 100 notes during services.
Work is not permitted that
day, and many Jews will
spend most of the day in tem-
ple.
The holiday ends at sun-
down, although from the
beginning of that holiday
until the Kol Nidra service on

OUR VIEW


New county codes will make sense for communities


ere's a typical zoning scenario:
A developer comes in with a plan
for buildings that meet all zoning
codes, such as setbacks, height and density.
The problem is, it looks awful and doesn't
seem to fit in with anything else in the
neighborhood. It fits the strict, specific zon-
ing guidelines, however, so it gets approved.
Here's another scenario:
A developer comes in with a plan for
buildings that don't meet the specific codes,
but seem to fit better with the surrounding
neighborhood. Community members are
more involved in the zoning process. And it
gets approved.
Admittedly, that's a rosy view of Sarasota
County's new form-based zoning, but it's the
general idea of what's possible now.
And that's why we should take note of this
intelligent new concept, already used in
Chicago, Alexandria and Arlington, Va. -


areas that are concerned about protecting
the character of local neighborhoods.
The county's new type of zoning will be
applied only to high-density "urban" areas.
In South County, that means the U.S. 41 cor-
ridor, West Dearborn Street and South River
Road in Englewood.
Englewood architect Elaine Miller-San-
chez of Suncoast Architect Inc., likes the
new zoning, at least in general terms.
"The logic of a form-based code is to look
at an area or neighborhood instead of a sin-
gle parcel of land to determine what's ap-
propriate," she said.
Instead of applying rigid zoning rules, the
new codes evaluate the project in terms of
its relationship to the adjacent area.
"Any development needs to relate to the
development around it," Miller-Sanchez
said.
Brian Lichterman, president of Vision


Planning Design of Sarasota, called form-
based zoning "a much more innovative and
creative way to do site planning and take
into consideration the unique attributes of a
site."
According to the county Web site (www.
scgov.net), the codes address the connection:
Of buildings and pedestrians to the
public.
The form and size of the buildings in
relationship to one another.
The scale and network of streets and
blocks.
One reason for enacting these codes is to
allow more flexibility to meet Sarasota
County's goal of mixed-use and pedestrian-
friendly neighborhoods, which county offi-
cials say could not be met under the old
zoning.
A developer will have the option of
choosing to proceed with this new type of


zoning or the old. The process will involve
the public as it has in the past, if not more.
This is a subject that may sound confusing
to most of us who aren't architects, planners
or developers. But if it works as intended, it
could make for smarter developments that
match the character of our communities.
And the city of Venice is going to join the
movement, too.
Planning Director Tom Slaughter com-
mented at a recent planning commission
meeting that neighbors' concerns about the
possible subdivision of a parcel in Higelville
couldbe addressed at a rezoning under a
form-based system. Currently, the future
use of a piece of land isn't supposed to be
considered when evaluating a request to
tezone it
If a form-based code will help Venice
retain the character that makes people fall in
love with it, we're all for it.


Learning from others


BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST


When I go on a vacation I
love to see if other municipal-
ities are doing something we
should do, or at least think
about doing. Sometimes it is
just doing what we do better.
This last weekend I was on
a little rest-and-relaxation trip
(which means golf) in -the-
Williamsburg area of Virginia.
First, let me say that it is no
cooler there than here, so why
people are flocking out of
Florida is not particularly
clear to me when, in fact,
many places they are fleeing
to are hotter.
Anyway, on to Williams-
burg. It is a town that has very
strict rules and regulations to
uphold its historic nature and
theme. That is certainly
something Venice has lost its
zeal for; it has had little direc-
tion to maintain its heritage
and theme.
One thing Williamsburg
requires in homes in a certain
part of downtown is what look
like candles in the windows.
Kind of neat.
Signage is very good, di-
recting people to different
features in the town. Along
those lines, the city has signs
downtown that have a little
bit of the look of something
you would see in a mall di-
recting you to different mer-
chants. I took a picture for the
Venice MainStreet board and
KC Quaretti-Lee, its director.
Business and shopping
center signs were of the mon-
ument variety, so the area was
very clean and nice.
It had a great parking
garage that was extremely at-
tractive you probably
would not know that it was a
garage. It was set off the main
road but still visible, and a
nice facility. The charge to
park there was a dollar an
hour, maximum $8.
My regret is that our city
council opted not to put a

sheriff can't make tough deci-

other than increase the
amount of time North Port

ing to Sarasota. You have to be
able to do things that hurt; he
hasn't been able to do that yet

up with 127 kids more than

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


Want safety? Close the airport


Editor:.
Using safety, progress and change by airport supporters to
further their agenda is similar to certain religious groups using
religion to pursue their agenda.
With safety the leading issue, then, in the name of safety,
Venice airport should extend safety zones into residential and
populated areas, golf course and beach, as well as widen and
rebuild runways, increase convenience for more and bigger
jets, increase overall jetport boundaries and add a control
tower as essential to ultimately becoming a fully functioning
jetport.
Think about this: If safety is the main priority, closing the
airport is the ultimate safety procedure and Venice citizens
would be emotionally, mentally and physically safer.
Look at the Airport Advisory Board (plane lovers) paralleling
a National Rifle Association advisory group (gun lovers). The
following would seem logical: bigger planes bigger guns;
faster planes faster guns; more planes more guns; right to
own planes right to own guns; right to fly planes right to
shoot guns.
Knowing planes can be used as guns (Sept. 11), they should
come under gun laws. Everyone should have the right to own a
plane and use it.
Best solution to this craziness is to close or move Venice air-
port. Many communities have closed or moved shooting
ranges for the emotional, mental and physical health and safe-
ty of citizens.
The health and well-being of the airport is often discussed.
Seldom, if ever, is the health and well-being of Venice citizens
discussed.


More airport
alphabet soup
Editor:
It's about the runways.
I found a list of Florida air-
ports by googling. Venice
Municipal Airport (VNC).
VNC is identified as a reliever
airport. A googled definition
of "reliever airport" says, 'A
commercial service airport
designated by the FAA to
relieve congestion at primary
airports and provide other


ports in the United States.
In checking the FAA.gov
circulars on master plans, it
makes it very clear that "con-
sultants" are assigned by the
FAA, and are told to coordi-
nate with all "stakeholders,"
including review boards,
hotel owners, communities,
etc. (54 listed). I haven't heard
VNC is not general aviation.
All of these issues are
about the future of Venice.
Once the master plan is
approved, FAA will budget to
get the development com-
pleted according to its regula-
tions.
It is the way government
works. You will be part of the
National Plan for Integrated
Airport Systems.
Are we stuck with VNC

The opportunity of a lifetime


BY BOB RIGBY
GUEST COLUMNIST


Sarasota County Sheriff Bill
Balkwill's threat to close the
South County jail to meet his
budget cut demands from the
Sarasota County Commission
may have provided a very
good service to all taxpayers
of Sarasota County.
South Sarasota County,
like it or not, has always been
the stepchild of North County
- last on the list for expendi-
ture of tax dollars, last on the
list for cultural amenities, last
on the list for law enforce-
ment protection and a num-
ber of other items too long to
list.
I was bom in Sarasota and
have resided in Nokomis all
my life, so I've seen the
growth of the county for
many, many years. I believe I
can say with certainty that my
statements are right and true.
Several years ago, the city
of Sarasota County sued the
county for equal treatment of
services, and won, with a
number of services being
agreed to be provided by the
county, as opposed to previ-
ous treatment.
Even now, a baseball stadi-
um is being debated, but due
to the tax crunch may not be
passed in the upcoming elec-
tion, along with an extension
of the 1-cent sales tax because
of the unequal treatment of
services provided to South
County. A baseball stadium
was planned for Venice years
ago, but opposed by Sarasota


County government.
Sheriff Balkwill's refusal to
continue providing jail ser-
vices to meet this budget
demand, I believe, opens the
door to a fact and an opportu-
nity that up to now has not
been recognized.
Population growth shifting
to South Sarasota County
translates into a logical change
of future county operating
facilities being built in a mid-
county location. Any new jail,
sheriff's department, court-
house, building department,
hospital, administration build-
ing or other county facility
would be constructed in an
area meant to accommodate
the general population of the
county.
No longer would any Sara-
sota County citizen called for
jury duty be required to drive
from Englewood or North
Port to Sarasota in order to
serve the judicial system.
There are any number of
other county ,services for
which a facility change would
benefit South County resi-
dents.
It is an obvious conclusion
that the citizens of Sarasota
would best be served with
future construction of these
buildings in a South County
location. The handwriting is
on the wall, thanks to Sheriff
Balkwill.
We will appreciate his deci-
sion to withhold jail service
and give the voters a chance
to appreciate the opportunity
presented to us. You should
never look a gift horse in the


mouth.
I'm not talking about a few
Robert L. Anderson-type
buildings to appease the vot-
ers, from which calls for
county service are routed to
North County.
I'm talking about a 25-to-
50-year plan to relocate all
needed county operations to
a mid-county area. The
majority of future tax dollars
will be coming from South
County, so why not provide
these taxpayers with county
services near their homes?
Keep in mind, the next
United States Government
Census will show the popula-
tion shift to South County,
which also means the redis-
tricting of county commis-
sion districts will give South
County more representation.
A future census will increase
that representation even
more.
South County voters should
start paying close attention
who they vote for, instead of
electing people because they
know how to raise money for
campaigns, or have fed at the
public trough for years. That
does not necessarily mean
they will be the best to serve
South County voters.
Hitting the ground run-
ning is going to take on a
whole new meaning.
Think about it: Bill Balkwill
may have opened our eyes to
the future of Sarasota County.

Bob Rigby, who has devel-
oped a potential treatment
for red tide, lives in Nokomis.

Likes dinner and a show


In solitary. The caller who wishes to be isolated from chil-
dren in restaurants is exactly right. They should be. It's most
enjoyable to see families, noisy children and all, sharing time
together. With today's economy and prices, some often do so at
a sacrifice. The caller is exactly right. We have needed an old
fart section in restaurants for a long time. Most elderly, of
which I am one, enjoy children, families and people in general.
I hope the caller finds the right establishment. It will be lonely.
Oh, by the way, the Nokomis dog made a mistake and removed
a digit from the wrong person's anatomy.


Incomparable. When I re-
ceived my TRIM notice from
the Sarasota County Property
Appraiser I immediately be-
gan to investigate what I
could do about what I feel is
an incorrect value placed on
my home. I purchased my
home at the high point of the
market, like many others, and
yet with all the articles pub-
lished about the declining
values in our area and the
nation, my value, according
to the SCPA is still more than I
paid. When I look up my
neighbor's homes of similar
size that were purchased in
the same time frame as mine,
I find their assessed value
considerably less -than their
purchase price. My boss and
some of my friends have con-
veyed similar stories display-
ing this discrepancy. The pro-
cedure outlined on the SCPA
Web site for petitioning the
Value Adjustment Board
states I cannot use examples
of similar neighboring prop-
erties assessed below my
market value as comparable
to prove an incorrectly as-
sessed value on my property.
A person has to read every-
thing three times and possess
a law degree to understand
everything written on how to
petition your tax assessment..
The general idea here appears
to be if the Sarasota property
appraiser made an admission
of error on your neighbor's
house and lowered his value,
you still must prove through
recent sales (of which in this


market there are few to none)
that an error was made on
your home. The SPCA uses
"mass appraisals" as opposed
to individual appraisals,
which is what a person would
acquire when applying for a
loan. I am a certified trainee
appraiser so I know a little
about mass appraisals but
not enough to know why val-
ues go up together in a rising
market and yet according to
our TRIM notices only some
go down. We all are subjected
to this one-sided bureaucracy
and we cannot sit still for the
continuation of "Politicians
Gone Wild." The root of the
problem is the politicians are
spending more than the peo-
ple can afford and the proper-
ty appraiser is charged with
doing whatever possible to
provide an endless supply of
money to the politicians. In
short, we need new politi-
cians who understand simple
economics and finance.
Listen up. If the school
board doesn't listen to the
voters who have come to the
meetings, spoken out and
want the high school to stay
where it is, then those same
voters should remove those
members of the school board
at the next election that
comes up. Eventually they
will learn to listen to the peo-
ple who put them in position
of authority. Also, kudos to
Bob Vedder for his wonderful
columns in the paper of Aug.
29. Excellent.
Saving ,time. I think we


should keep daylight-saving
time all year long. I think it's
safer, and it's much nicer
because you can do more
things in the evening. Another
thing: you should keep airline
pilots until 65. Don't retire
them before that. They're
experienced, they're kept in
good health and we need
them. Also, listen to the pilots
that fly out of Venice airport.
Wasting. This is one Ve-
netian who will not vote for
one school board member
who votes to move Venice
High School from its current
location. This Venetian will
also not vote for the referen-
dum when it comes up soon
because the school board is
wasting money left and right,
as usual.
Island daze. That new
island that they put on Center
Road near the Walgreens, why
don't they paint that all over?
It's very dangerous, in my
opinion. I heard someone
went over it a couple of times,
especially at night. If they
paint that whole island yel-
low, to light it up, it may save
damage to someone's vehicle.

every day from North Port to
his job in Venice and back
again. Sometimes, he said,
when it gets dark, the driver
doesn't see him waiting at the
stop. Can the Sarasota
County Area Transit get light-
ing for his bus stop, he want-
ed to know.
Smith was one of almost a
dozen South County resi-
dents who came to the North
Port Library recently to hear
about SCAT's plans for fare
increases and new fare
machines.
Stuart Brodznansky had
several questions. He wanted
io know if some improve-
ments could be made at the
Riley Chase bus stop.
"There are ant hills there,"


he said. "Can't the driver just
bring a bag of pesticide? If
they bring it, I'll even put it
down for them."
But Brenda Miller from
SCAT explained, "We've gone
'green.' We don't use harsh
chemicals or pesticides any-
more. But I'll see what we can
do to fix that situation."
It was just that kind of
exchange SCAT hoped for
when the public hearing was
scheduled. Miller said rider-
ship was going to top the 2
million mark this year for the
first time, with more than 2.2
million expected by Sept. 30,
the end of the fiscal year.
"The county has not had a
fare increase in 10 years,"
Miller said. "We are funded
partly by property taxes, and
because those revenues are
i declining, we are looking at a
fare increase this year."
Full cash fares would in-


crease from 50 cents to 75
cents, and unlimited monthly
passports would go up from
$30 to $45.
"But we would still be one
of the lowest in the state,"
Miller said.
She said it costs SCAT $4.71
per passenger. Paratransit
passengers cost $29, although
the fare they would pay
would increase from $1 to
only $1.50.
"We get $16 million from
the federal government to
cover some of our costs, as
well as some state and local
ad valorem tax money. The
government also pays 80 to
100 percent.of the cost of the
hybrid buses, but gives us
nothing toward their opera-
tion," Miller said.
She said that none of the
cities served by SCAT has
been required to pay any-
thing for the service. There-


"The county has not
had a fare increase in
10 years'"
Brenda Miller,
with SCAT



fore, SCAT needs to increase
fares to make up some of the
difference.
Brodznansky asked wheth-
er it was more efficient to keep
the buses running for a short
while, or turn them off.
Miller said, "One key rea-
son they don't turn the bus off
is it's a lot bigger problem if
that bus won't start up again.
We don't want to take a
chance of a bus not starting."
Automation
Chad Engel of SCAT


brought one of the new auto-
mated fare boxes to show
how they will work.
"Now, if you have only a
dollar bill and put that in, you
don't get change back," he
said. "But the new boxes will
be electronic. They will read
the amount .of money you
insert say, a $5 bill and it
will give your change in the
form of a swipe card that
shows you have $4 in fares to
use."
Each time you use that
card, the machine automati-
cally deducts the price of your
fare and prints the remaining
balance. The drivers will have
keyboards to key in the type
of fare: regular, discount or
other.
Engel said this system will
also let SCAT compile rider-
ship information much more
easily.
Brodznansky asked about


the possibility of erecting
more bus shelters. Billie
Havey, public communica-
tions specialist with SCAT,
said it can cost $50,000 just to
build one shelter.
"We need to do engineer-
ing plans for each location,
because they have different
rights of way, different drain-
age, different shoulders,"
Havey said. "They each need
a permit and they must be
(Americans with Disabilities
Act) compliant. We have to
buy or get an easement for
the land."
County commissioners
will consider at their meeting
on Sept. 25 whether to
increase SCAT fares as pro-
posed. For more information,
or to voice your opinion, call
861-5000 and ask for SCAT.

Venice football is learning



how to handle winning


TRIPP MILLER

War, terror,

and we keep

on playing

Another anniversary of
Sept. 11, 2001 has gone by and
it sort of puts things into per-
spective.
My Atlanta Braves are out
of the division race and five
games back from the wild
card, but it could be worse.
Michigan and Notre Dame
fans can look back six years
and realize that 0-2 isn't so
bad. Even if the Gators lose to
Tennessee this weekend, at
least they will have played the
game. They didn't in Sep-
tember of 2001.
Remember the weeks fol-
lowing the attack on the
World Trade Center? Every-
thing was on hold. No base-
ball, no football, not even a
Scrabble tournament on
ESPN 2. We were all glued to
the news, holed up in our
homes for fear of what else
may be lurking.
Six years later and threats
still exist. We're fighting a war
in Iraq. Osama bin Laden is
still at large and has a new
beard to boot. But we keep on
keeping on.
In sports it's business as
usual. Venice High School is
playing Sarasota High School.
Brian Wheatley's Venice vol-
leyball team is winning tour-
nament championships. Flor-
ida is playing Tennessee.
Miami is playing (read: fight-
ing) Florida International.
The WNBA Finals are hap-
pening this week and nobody
is watching. People can hate
the NewYorkYankees again.
Some outsiders may, say
the United States is too dis-
tracted. That we waste too
much energy on sports while
there are more important
things happening in the
world.
But we should be proud of
what we have here. Terrorists
keep trying to turn our focus
to them, and we just keep on
playing. It's a sign of our
strength and our pride that
we will not let all the bad in
the world keep us from doing
our thing.
It's the responsibility of a
good American citizen to stay
up to date on the war in Iraq.
But that doesn't mean that the
same person can't also keep
up with their favorite ball
team.
Our troops would want it
that way. We should support
our troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan, but we should
also support our troops on
the football field, our troops
on the baseball diamond, our
troops on the basketball
court. If we don't, then what
are the real troops fighting
for?

The Venice High School
football team is just starting
to get used to success.
After a 1-8 season last year,
the Indians were ecstatic to
get a win over a quality oppo-
nent in Riverview High
School two weeks ago. They
were so excited, they almost
forgot how to practice. Senior
kicker Eric Cangelosi missed
practice Monday because he
didn't realize there would be
practice on Labor Day. Tues-
day's practice was the worst
of the season.
"We're going to try to cele-
brate every win like we won
the Super Bowl, because I've
been on both sides of the
fence now, and I don't want to
just let a win go by and not
celebrate and have fun with
it," Head Coach John Peacock
said. "As coaches, we can han-
dle it. They didn't handle it
real well last week as far as
coming back ready to work."
After Cangelosi's one-
game suspension and the
'team, running more than a
few laps, suicides or stadi-
ums, the Indians learned how
to handle success.
"They came back out
Wednesday and did a good
job," Peacock said. "We had a
good practice Wednesday,
and they did get ready, but
that first Tuesday was. horri-
ble. I don't think we'll have
that problem today."
There were some bright

Venice High School is the
new champion of the Gator
Town Classic.
The Indians defeated two
of the top volleyball teams in
the state in St. Thomas
Aquinas High School and
Buchholz High School Sat-
urday to win the tournament
in Gainesville.
After edging St. Thomas
Aquinas in five games in the
semi-final, Venice found
themselves down two games
to none against Buchholz, a
team they had beaten just
two days before.
"There were about three
wheels off the car," Head
Coach Brian Wheatley said.
"Slowly but surely we were
able to pump the tires up a lit-
tle bit and get it moving. It
was just a big momentum
switch in the third game and
our kids just kind of took off
and Buchholz didn't respond
probably the way their coach


spots in practice, though. The
Rudy Award, presented by
Darby Buick, Pontiac, GMC,
for the practice player of the
week, went to sophomore
tight end and defensive end
Branden Wilkinson. His work
in practice paid off with two
receptions for 48 yards and a
touchdown against Braden
River High School.
The Linebacker Club also
awarded freshman kicker
Steven Ferretti the Babe's Ace
Hardware and Porter Paints
Special Teams Player of the
Week Award. Ferretti was four
of four on extra points against
Braden River in his first ever
varsity game. His perfor-
mance earned him an oppor-
tunity to compete for a spot
on the varsity roster every
week.
"Today we're going to
make a decision on who we're
using in the game Friday, and
if we're not going to use him,
then we'll send him down
back to freshman," Peacock
said. "We're going to bring
him up each week, and
they're going to battle, and
we're going to use the best
kicker."
The Nautical Trader De-
fensive Player of the Game
Award went to Andy Czu-
prynski, and the Regions
Bank Offensive Player of the
Game Award went to Paul
Costanzo for his 269-yard
performance on the ground.
Last week, sophomore
quarterback Trey Burton had
another successful game


wanted them to respond."
A 10-minute delay over a
disputed call in the third
game seemed to be the factor
in the momentum shift. The
score was tied 10-10, but
Venice came out swinging
after the delay.
"If you don't lock the cage
on an animal, they may come
out and bite you," Wheatley
said. "That's what happened.
We came out roaring like a
lion and stuck it to them."
Venice returned to district
play Tuesday with a road
game against Manatee High
School.
The Indians got off to a
slow start with four unforced
errors in the first nine points
served. They recovered, and
went on to win the match in
three games 25-16, 25-13, 25-
22. Sophomore middle hitter
Jillian Allen led the Indians
with 14 kills, three blocks and
two aces.
Venice recovered in the
second game, starting off 3-0
and never relinquishing the

both running and throwing
the football, gaining 154 all-
purpose yards and two
touchdowns. He will need to
continue that success to keep
up with the high-powered
Sarasota High School offense
led by senior quarterback
Casey Kelly.
Kelly, the 26th-ranked
quarterback in the country,
according to Scout.com, will
air it out all game long.
Peacock expects that his
defense will have a hard time
slowing him down.
"We're not going to be able.
to stop him as far as totally
shutting him down," Peacock
said. "They're going to score
their points; our goal is just to
make them work for it. If they
score every series, they score
every series. I just don't want
them to score every series in
two plays or one play. [Kelly]
is the real deal, we're just
going to try to make him work
for it."
The best option for slow-
ing down the Sarasota offense
might be to keep it off the
field altogether. Against
Riverview, the Indians gave
their tired defense plenty of
time to rest with a 10-minute
fourth quarter drive that all
but sealed the game for them.
Against Braden River, Venice
came right out of the gates
with a 71-yard, nine-minute-
33-second touchdown drive.
If they can replicate that kind
of offense, they could be in
good shape. But when it gets
down to it, they're just going


lead. Manatee kept it close for
a while, but at 9-7 the Indians
started on a 12-4 run on the
way to a 25-13 win. In the
third game, however, the
Indians began. to struggle
again.
Manatee jumped out to a
2-0 lead and didn't let go until
Venice overtook them at 14-
13. The two teams swapped
the lead twice more before
the Indians scored four unan-
swered points to make it 19-
16. From then on it was
Venice who wouldn't let go,
winning 25-22.
"We maybe lost some
steam, there was a little bit
of a let down," Wheatley
said. "This is one of our dis-
trict matches and we're
probably going to see these
guys again down the road.
We recovered, but after
beating two of the best
teams in the state it was a lit-
tle bit of a let down."

Ten Venice Vikings named

academic All-Americans


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

The Venice Vikings are
proud to announce that sev-
eral of their own participants
were selected as 2006-2007
Pop Warner All-American
Scholars.
Brittany Detert and Kayla
Olin, both sixth-grade cheer-
leaders, were named first-
team All-Americans. Fifth-
grader Alexander Mitizak,
sixth-graders Jordan Keyso,
Bo Walters and Beau Billings,
seventh-graders Oleg Desyat-
nikov, Michael Seyfried and
Zachary Flerlage were all
named second-team football
All-Americans. Sixth-grader
Dominick Fanti rounded out
the group as an honorable
mention football All-Amer-
ican.
Each year, the most acade-
mically accomplished Pop
Warner kids compete for aca-
demic All-American status.
This process begins at the
association level and up
through each of the eight Pop
Warner regions to the nation-
al level. In 2006, approximate-


ly 380,000 kids participated in
Pop Warner.
The Pop Warner Little
Scholars program requires a
minimum 96 percent grade
point average to apply for All-
American status. After the
applications have been pro-
cessed, Pop Warner deter-
mines 35 football players and
25 cheerleaders per grade
level as first-team All-Amer-
icans, second-team All-Amer-
icans and honorable mention
All-Americans. Winners are
eligible to attend the Pop
Warner All-American Ban-
quet which alternates annu-
ally being held at either
Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.
or Disney World in Orlando.
Pop Warner Little Scholars,
Inc. is the only national youth
sports organization in the
United States that requires its
participants to perform ade-
quately in the classroom
before permitting them to
play. It is believed that these
set standards give children a
sense of responsibility and an
appreciation for academics
and athletics that will help
them develop later in life.

POLICE BEAT


OBITUARIES


Two arrested for arson
A fire near the Venice
Arena led to the arrest of two
men Monday on charges of
arson and criminal mischief.
Venice police officers ar-
rested Corey A. Cote, 18, and
Shawn E. Jenkins, 19, in con-
nection with a fire at 1401
Ringling Drive at approxi-
mately 3:56 a.m. Monday.
When the Venice police and
fire departments responded to
a fire in the vicinity of the
arena, they found a boat on a
trailer fully engulfed in flames.
The trailer was attached to a
Ford Explorer parked in a
fenced storage area behind
the arena. The vehicle had a
smashed windshield, raising
the suspicion of arson.
Prior to responding to the
fire, two officers had stopped
two people because they
were out and about at a time
the officers thought was
unusual. The officers com-
pleted Field Contact Reports
on both people and let them
go on their way.
After the fire both officers
reported to the detective divi-
sion that there might be a
correlation between the two
people they stopped and the
arson.
With this information two
VPD detectives contacted the
defendants and interviewed
them at their residences,
where they admitted starting


the fire.

LIFE IN A PLURAL MARRIAGE 5B


PHOTOS COURTESY OF PAUL HARTZLER


A typical meat market in the Ukraine bustles with activity.





On the road to Celdschi


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR

WorldWar II has been con-
signed to the history books in
most parts of the world, but
not in Celischi, the Ukraine.
The village was recently
visited by 22 Venetians, two
Texans and two New Yorkers,
traveling as a group of volun-
teers to help build a church,
install a septic system and
hold children's fests.
"The Ukraine is still trying
to recover from World War II,"
trip organizer Jeannene Co-
zad-Olive said. "Kiev is differ-
ent but there is still no place
in the Ukraine with screens
on windows. And after all
those years, people don't
smile a lot."
The group was traveling
under the sponsorship of the
Venice Church of the Naz-


arene, which had raised near-
ly $100,000 for the outreach
project. Participants paid
$2,500 to cover their trans-
portation and food. Lodging
was provided in a house near-
ing completion in Celischi.
The women, and a dog
belonging to the host family,
slept on mattresses on the
floor of the attic. The men
slept on mattresses placed
side by side in a downstairs
room. Their translator slept
nearby, under the rough,
unfinished staircase. Two
showers were outside, with
water supplied by a water
tank heated by the atmos-
pheric conditions of the day.
There also was an outhouse.
Daily hard work and less'
than one-star lodging condi-
tions might deter some peo-
ple but Cozad-Olive, the chief
fund-raiser and cheerleader

has been on 20 such trips.
Though diagnosed with mul-
tiple sclerosis some 40 years
ago, this is the only way she
travels, with one notable
exception --the honeymoon
cruise the widow took with
her second husband a few
years ago. Otherwise, she rolls
up her sleeves and works on
her vacations, making a dif-
ference in the lives of many
people in many countries.
"This is a life-changing
trip," she said.
Cozad-Olive began her
volunteer efforts after the
famous tornado that flat-
tened Xenia, Ohio. Living in
the area, she thought there
must be more to do than
deciding what color punch to
serve at church socials.
Suzanne Hartzler got
involved as a college student
in Tennessee. She has been
on 15 such trips.
The Ukraine was selected
because of a six-week tour of
the Ukraine undertaken by
Cozad-Olive in fall 2005. She
visited several Nazarene reha-
bilitation centers on that trip.
Group dynamics
There was a variety of ages
within the group, and there
were both singles and family
groups. Men and women
were equal in numbers.
Moore was accompanied by
her college-age son,. Dax.
Another woman took her
grandson. Ron Jones was
accompanied by his son and


his father, making a three-
generation family of volun-
teers. Carroll ones, a Venice
snowbird from North Carol-
ina, found love on the trip. He
met a missionary there. The
two will be married this
month.
All but about five volun-
teers have been on one or
more similar trips.
Magician Dave Parker was
an important part of the
group. He performed magic
shows at the children's fests.
Those who could perform
strenuous work spent days
digging the septic tank hole
by hand, nailing insulation to
the side of the church and
applying aluminum siding.
Workers walked a mile to and
from the construction site.


This 55-year-old woman wears a
traditional babushka.


Those not up to such work,
prepared meals.
Jetlag
The Venetianis departed
from Tampa on June 22 and
were joined by the other four
in New York, from which they
flew nonstop to Kiev. The 26
travelers were accompanied
by 52 footlocker-style trunks
and their personal carry-ons.
Some of the carry-ons were
made lighter by TSA security
agents who confiscated
toothpaste, sunscreen and
other items deemed poten-
tially hazardous.
At dawn, they landed in
Kiev (population 4 million),
which is seven hours ahead of
Venice time.
As soon as the trunks were
unloaded, they boarded the
two buses to Celischi. Cus-
toms was a breeze because of
the careful packing, planning
and labeling Cozad-Olive
said. Each traveler had one
bag for personal clothing and
a second filled with supplies
and gifts. Fresh meat and veg-
etables were acquired at the
local markets.
SEn route to Celishi, the
group stopped at Mc-
Donald's for lunch. They
noted the hustle and bustle
of Kiev and that most people
had cell phones. They were
stopped once for a docu-
ment check, refusing to pay
any fees, which likely would
have been pocketed by the
agent doing the checking,

bage-leaf hat at the Vinnitsa out-
door market.


Cozad-Olive said.
Celischi
There were mostly four-
lane roads from Kiev to
Celischi, a town of about
4,000 people and neither stop
signs nor traffic lights. A
weekend sight was wedding
cars with double rings on top,.
flowers on the front and on
door handles. Inside were
happy couples being trans-
ported to various monu-
ments for photo opportuni-
ties.
After the day-long ride
from the airport, the group
arrived at its Celischi home at
5 p.m. Partially finished, the
house had a small kitchen

And nov

BY TED RANK
STAFF ESCRITOR

Hang on to your sanity,
ladies and gentlemen. It's
time for News from Ecine-
ville.
Ecineville Fire Depart-
ment was assisted by
Richarora County, Simokon
volunteer and Doowelgne
fire departments at Selene
Restaurant on Selene Way in
Ecineville Monday night.
The massive explosion
and ensuing fire started after
Selene restaurant owner
Trean Centuri was mixing up
a two-week batch-200 gal-
lons of his special pahoe-
hoe sauce, which is used as a
bread topping and is a spe-
ciality of his restaurant.
Centuri was unharmed
when he dove through a
window before the massive
explosion.


Ecineville Department of
Public Works Assistant Di-
rector Linda Ecalevol esti-
mates it could take several
weeks to remove the pahoe-
hoe sauce from the sur-
rounding buildings.
"The initial explosion
blew that sauce or dressing
or whatever the hell that
stuff is onto at least 15 sur-
rounding buildings," Ecal-
evol said. "And, it's starting to
eat through the concrete
and wood exterior of some
of these structures."
"The fire department
tried getting the stuff off
with hoses that didn't
work. We got a sandblasting
company working on it
now," said Ecalevol.
The good news was that
there was less damage to
Selene Restaurant than first
reports indicated.
"When we arrived on


scene at 10:47 p.m., the
entire building appeared
engulfed in flames. But, be-
fore we could even hook up
our hoses, the fire somehow
burned itself out," said
Ecineville Fire Department
Lt. Tony Esuoherif.
An investigation by the
State Fire Marshall's Office
has discovered why the fire
caused little damage.
According to chemists
with the SFMO, a chemical
reaction in the pahoehoe
sauce caused the explosion,
blasting sauce as far as 200
yards away onto the old
Ecineville Telegraph Build-
ing on Imaim Avenue.
"The pahoehoe sauce ac-
tually ignited when it made
contact with any surface,
which resulted in the large
fireball. Our tests indicate
that the burning pahoehoe
sauce burned for only four


to five minutes at a low tem-
perature, not long enough to
set any other material in the
building on fire. This ex-
plains why the first engine to
arrive on scene saw the fire
go out very quickly," said
SFMO Spokesperson Steve
Nasalthorpe.
Good news for Selene
Restaurant and owner Cen-
turi.
At press time, EDPW was
placing leeches on the build-
ing to remove the remaining
pahoehoe sauce from the
exterior of the surrounding
buildings.
Well, .this is Ted "I'm a
reporter, I'm a reporter"
Rank reporting. I'll see you
next issue with more news
from Ecineville. Until then,
remember, it's all good and
tasty here in Ecineville.

Stop the leaks


BY MONTY ANDREWS
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR

Installing ceiling insula-
tion is one of the best moves
you can make to reduce your
home's cooling costs. That's
because up to 20 percent of
your home's air conditioning
can be lost through an inade-
quately insulated ceiling.
It is recommended an in-
sulation value of R-30 or high-
er be installed. A qualified
insulation contractor can
be helpful in determining
amount, type of material and
method of installation.
You may want to discuss
the advantages of installing a
radiant barrier as well. Check
with FPL to see whether you
qualify for a rebate.


Check other potential air
leakage areas, including; win-
dow sashes and frames;
around doors; any exterior
wall penetrations like utility
lines; and interior recessed
light fixtures. Caulk and
weather stripping may just be
the ticket.
The planet it's worth
saving.


Hi. Ms. Meteorologist here.
I'm hot, you're hot. Everybody's hot. It's sum-
mer in Florida. I'll be back when it cools off.

The last one up makes the bed


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST


All my life I have been an
early riser. Early to bed, early
to rise has pretty much been
my motto.
In my latent years, howev-
er, I have a reason to get up
early that really has some
teeth in it: In my house, the
last one up has to make the
bed. Now if that won't roll
your socks, I don't know what
will.
I have no idea how or
when this little manipulative
maneuver became a part of
the daily routine around my
house, but I can tell you that it
works.
Sometimes' I stay up all
night simply so as not to risk
having to make the bed. I hate
that job. In fact, I think people
who make their beds in the
morning have a serious need
for some kind of therapy. On
the other hand, maybe it's just
me who needs therapy.
My wife, who is a morning
walker, often will go to bed
wearing a full complement of
walking gear so as to not wake
me when she gets up. I don't
mind her doing that, but one


time her water bottle sprang a
leak and I had weird dreams
about becoming incontinent.
I have to admit, that got me
out of bed pretty darn quick.
Another time, she dropped
her flashlight and I awoke
thinking I was seeing that
bright light that people talk
about just before they die. I
probably shouldn't have
screamed, as the neighbors
thought we had an intruder,
and well, the policeman who
came to the door was not very
understanding at all. In fact, I
don't think he believed me
when I told him that I hated
making the bed, or that I was
dying.
As I think about it, I sup-
pose today's ritual of making
the bed really isn't too far
from that with which I grew
up.
I only had one brother and
among my mom's rules,
including one that her kids
had to make their own beds,
was whoever got up from the
supper table last had to do the
dishes. Sometimes I would go
days without eating, simply
so I wouldn't have to sit at the
table and risk being the last
one up.
My brother, on the other
hand, being four years
younger and having the
appetite of a lumberjack on
steroids, would stay at the
table munching all the
desserts, including mine,
then cry to mom that it wasn't
fair that he had to do the dish-
es all by himself.
Mom, who was nicknamed
"Ironpants" by those who


knew her, would always make
me help my brother. Her
argument was that I was four
years older and should know
better than to skip meals just
so I wouldn't have to wash
dishes.
Recently, I was in the pres-
ence of teenage granddaugh-
ters. I can tell you that times
have changed.
Not only did they NOT do
the dishes after meals, or
make their beds, they argued
over who would fill the top
rack of the dishwasher. But
first, they had to decide who
would empty the dishwasher
from the previous days meals.
And as for making their beds,
they were rarely home long
enough to put their berths in
disarray.
I was going to tell my wife
that if my grandchildren did-
n't have to make their beds or
do dishes, then I was not
going to partake in these
menial tasks.
I made this decision with
total firmness and conviction,
as I wear the pants in my fam-
ily and making beds and
doing dishes are simply not
manly things to do. I thought
it out and come hell or high
water, I would stick to my
guns.
Being true to my word, I
did tell her. The doctor said I
should be able to see out ol
my good eye within a week oi
so. I hope so, as those comers
are hard enough to tuck in,
even with a good eye.

Upcoming golf tourney to benefit SFC


Riverview celebratates 25th anniversary


FROM SENIOR
FRIENDSHIP CENTERS

The second annual Swing-
ing with Friends golf tourna-
ment is slated for Saturday,
Sept. 29 at the Mission Valley
Golf and Country Club in
.Laurel. Hosted by Dr. Richard
Beebe, medical director at the
Venice Friendship Centers
Health Services, and Mission
Valley golf pro Jim Duval, the
scramble-format tournament
will include an 11 a.m. lun-
cheon and 1 p.m. shotgun
start, with 5:30 p.m. hours
d'oeuvres and awards.
An added highlight this
year is a chipping contest in
memory of golf pro and pio-
neering member of the LPGA,
Ginny Fay, who was guest of
honor at the tournament last
year, sponsored by Jacaranda
Trace. Goody bags, prizes and
a silent auction are included.
The cost to participate in the
tournament is $150 per play-
er.
"This is a wonderful op-
portunity to get together with
friends, enjoy a great day on
the links and support
a non-profit organization
which has helped thousands
of seniors in need in our com-
munity," said Beebe. "Get in
the swing and create your
own foursome. There are
men's and ladies tees, and
women's and mixed four-
somes will compete. We had a
great time last year and we
expect this year's event to be
even better."

FROM THE RIVERVIEW
HIGH SCHOOL
FOUNDATION

The Riverview High School
Foundation is celebrating its
25th anniversary by commit-
ting to raise significant funds
for teaching and learning at
the school and to improve
communication with its
alumni through a new inter-
active Web site.
To commemorate the
Silver Anniversary, founda-
tion leaders are conducting a
"25 for 25" donation drive,
asking alumni and friends to
donate at least $25 for schol-
arships, educational materi-
als and grants to the school.
Following the lead of uni-
versity alumni associations,
the foundation created rhs
foundation.org, in which
alumni and friends can
search for their peers, orga-
nize reunions and meetings
and plan fundraising events
for the school.
"The foundation provides
funds for the enhancement of
education at RHS when there
are no other funding sources
available," said Jodi Ander-
son, the organization's presi-
dent. "Now we're also serving
our alumni by providing an
association Web site."
The foundation provides
teachers with annual grants
to enhance learning.
Their most recent project
raised $125,000 to dramati-
cally increase the school
library collection. They also
administer individual gifts
for scholarships or teacher
travel.

ing for fourth-, fifth- and
sixth-grade levels.

ic achievement, invention or
local history.
In the first program, Wed-
nesday, Sept. 12,1-3 p.m., the
Estates will present the first in
the series of nine programs
about environmental science.
The program will focus on
Thomas Edison's life in Fort
Myers and his research in
plant science and the tropical
landscape that contributed to


his work in southwest Florida.
All programs are led by
Estate faculty and staff and
include time to tour the histor-
ical homes, gardens, lab and
museum. Pre-visit curriculum
materials are available.
Cost of the program in-

Located on the latitude of
Nova Scotia, the Ukraine has
more than 15 hours of day-
light during the early part of
summer. Group members
noticed the days growing
shorter at month's end.
I Fresh groceries were pur-
chased in Vinnitsa (popula-
tion 400,000) almost daily and
paid for with gryven. The
exchange rate was five gryven
per dollar in July. Coins are
called coptics. Denomina-
tions include one, two, five,
10, 25 and 50.
People do not make eye
contact with one another
and, at most, barely nod
when spoken to.
Getting down to work
As 15 group members were
only there for 16 days, the
group got down to work right


away, digging a 9-foot by 15-
foot by 6-foot hole for the
septic system, wrapping the
30-foot by 40-foot partially
built church with insulation,
applying furring strips to the
church and then finally cov-
ering it with vinyl siding. They
added concrete steps at the
entrance, dug and bricked a
hole for a well pump, dug a
trench for the-septic system,
put up a two-column sign on
the road in front of the
church, prepared the sanctu-
ary floor for tiling and washed
all the windows inside and
out. They cleaned up and
burned trash as it accumulat-
ed. The remaining 11 volun-
teers stayed until July 24.
Days off were days for
hosting children's fests and
sightseeing to spots such as
the underground bunker
built for Hitler during WW II.
To ensure the secrecy of its
location, all of the workers
were killed when the building
was completed. War dead and
the recent accident of the


Chernobyl nuclear power
plant have left the area with
few men. Smiles were rare,
except during the children's
fests, which featured clowns,
puppet shows, magic and
games.
The Venice church sent
afghans for the children,
scrubbies and dishcloths for
the ladies, a donated supply
of Tampa Bay Lightning ball
caps for all ages.
Members of the group car-
ried sharks' teeth, which they
had prepackaged and mar-
ked, in Ukrainian, "Sharks
teeth FREE."
Drugs and alcohol
"By the age of 14, all the
children are drinking," Co-
zad-Olive said. "Many also
use heroine and 60 percent of
all middle school students are
HIV-positive."
Depression dating back to
the days of communism
under Russian control is
blamed. Church of the
Nazarene missionaries are


trying to turn the numbers
around. They are having a 70
percent cure rate with their
Eight Steps from the Edge of
Hell program. Most of the
Nazarene ministers in the
Ukraine are graduates of the
program and nearly every
Nazarne-affiliated church has
a rehab center. During their
rehabilitation days, the men
and women become involved
in cottage industries and
learn how to support them-
selves.
Sightseeing
At the end of the trip, there
was time for some sightseeing
in Kiev, where the Americans
visited an upscale, under-
ground mall, visited the
Nazarene church built in
1911, government buildings
and monuments, the Cher-
nobyl Museum, and a Rus-
sian Orthodox Monastery
and its caves.
July 24, they returned to
the United States.

Venice Opera Guild prepares for new season


FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST


Venice Opera
Guild's melodies
linger on

The audience at the Jewish
Center of Venice felt some
songs, coming on when Lee
Doughtery Ross sat down at
the piano. They knew the tal-
ented musician would be say-
ing it with music as she invit-
ed them to enjoy an after-
noon of songs with her.
Traditionally each summer
the Venice Opera Guild pre-
sents. a benefit for its scholar-
ship fund. This year the group
struck a high note by inviting
Ross to Venice. She reminded
everyone she performed for
the group for the first time in
1994 and the show was also at
the Jewish Center of Venice.
The audience, enjoyed
wonderful favorites such as
"Over the Rainbow," "Keep
Your Sunny Side Up," and
"What aWonderfulWorld."
Lee made sure everyone
sang "Happy Birthday" to
Fred Albertelli celebrating his.
special day. Doris Albertelli is
president of the Venice Opera
Guild.
The silver lining at the pro-
gram was a guest appearance
by Venice favorite soprano
Deborah Berioli, who just
returned from 'California.
- Artist Mario Mariani was also
at the performance.
Three cheers to Laura
Welch, Lee Randisi Schilts,
Jo Favorite, LaVergne Mc-
Gucldin, Roberta Zowine, Bill
Eckl, Jan Findley, Georgie
Claeson, Mary Martin, Luca
Schmit, Pat Barron and
JeannineWhitehead for mak-
ing this event possible.
Special thanks to Always
An Occasion florist for the
beautiful floral arrangement.
The Venice Opera Guild
begins its new season with its
first meeting at the Jewish
Center of Venice, 600 Auburn
Road, at 1:30 p.m. Sept 18. The
meetings always include fab-
ulous entertainment.
Celebrate Senior Week
This week the Senior
Friendship Centers celebrate
Sernor Week with special
planned activities each day in
addition to the regular pro-
grams.
Be sure to join me in the
terrace room for another
Friday with Fran writer's
workshop. We'll meet on Sept.
14 from 10 to 11 a.m. Our last
time together encouraged
and inspired several people to
start writing their family his-
tories.
Nearly 200 people cele-
brated tiny bubbles and hula
hands at the recent luau at the
center. Ray Goins and Irene
Gette brought their musical
magic to the sing-a-long,
while Betty Jean Brook- and
the Lalani Dancers showed
the group just how to move
their hands and hips to love-
ly Hawaiian music. Carlos
Smith joined the women and
provided his own rendition of
the dance.
One of our best
The special person of this
week is Pat Barron. This nice
lady dedicates herself to mak-
ing sure the Venice Opera
Guild serves the community.
She regularly chairs events
and volunteers her time
at meetings to help create
a friendly atmosphere for
everyone.
Pat Barron is one of the
Venice Opera Guild members
who help make Venice a ter-
rific place to live.
