'1 thought we were going to die'


Model/nurse turns
rescuer in Casey Key
chopper crash.
BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Jennifer Zuknich, 28, of
Sarasota is being called a
hero after trying to save the
life of a passenger in a heli-
copter crash Tuesday in the
Gulf of Mexico off Casey Key..
Despite almost being hit
by the falling chopper, she
said she didn't think twice
when she jumped from the
speedboat into the Gulf to
pull one of its passengers to
safety.
The chopper was travel-
ing above and ahead of the
powerboat it was filming
when the crash occui-red.
Zuknich said Wednesday
at a press conference on
Nokomis Beach she wasn't
able to judge the exact dis-
tance the chopper was from
the boat, but it was more
than 20 feet.
"They got very close to
the boat," she said.
The crash happened in
an instant.
The first inkling that
something was wrong, she
recalled, was a wall of water
racing toward her.
"As soon as it (the heli-
copter) hit the water, it

Jennifer Zuknich, a Sarasota nurse, wipes a tear from her face as she answers questions at a press
conference Wednesday about the crash of the Bell 206 helicopter off the coast of Casey Key.
Zuknich was on the boat modeling for a photo shoot that was being filmed from the helicopter.


cracked the (boat) wind-
shield. We ducked down ... I
thought that was it. I
thought we were going to
die," Zuknich said.
She and boat pilot Bob
Teague of Valencia, Calif.,
were surprised to find them-
selves uninjured.
Instincts
That's when Zuknich's
nursing instincts kicked in.
With six years as a nurse
under her belt she's cur-
rently employed at Sarasota
Memorial Hospital Zuk-
nich jumped into the fuel-
covered water and swam to
the first passenger she could
see. He lay face down in the
water.
"I turned him over. I
could tell he was alive," she
said.
She proceeded to "estab-
lish an airway," while tread-
ing water to keep him afloat.
."He had a good pulse,"
she said. "Although' I did
hear some water in his
lungs."
"It's hard to do CPR when
you're bobbing up and
down," she said.
Then she yelled across to
, Teague, who by that time
had also dived into the
water to rescue the others,
she said.

Tack Clark, project manag-
er for the reconstruction of
Nokomis Beach Plaza, said
his company, Howell Con-

eager to get going following
approval of the project by

"Yes, I have no doubt it

Permits for the building,

During most of that period

Venice City Council cuts tax rate


City hall will keep its
receptionist and the
city will maintain a
healthy reserve fund.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Venice City Council pre-
liminarily adopted the 2007-
08 city budget Tuesday.
It wasn't much different
from the one City Manager
Marty Black introduced in
July.
The budget grants resi-
dents a 12.1 percent reduc-
tion in the millage rate from
3.344 to 2.939 on ever' $1,000
of tax assessed propertyvalue.


The saving for a Venice
home owner equals $41 per
$100,000 of property value.
The total budget of $68
million is reduced by more
than $16.8 million from last
year's budget and reflects
the city's compliance with
new state limits on local gov-
ernment property taxation.
To get there, the city had to
substantially cut its capital
budget from $14 million
this year to $4.7 million next
year.
Park projects, in particular,
will be waylaid until next bud-
get season.

projections don't get any bet-

BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Jim von Hubertz has asked
Sarasota County to schedule
a second mediation effort to
resolve the lengthy dispute
over the Casey Key Fish
House tiki bar.
The county and the restau-
rateur have argued for almost
three years about the tiki bar's
legitimacy. They went to trial
last year before Judge Becky
Titus in the 12th Judicial
Circuit Court. She ruled in the
county's favor on five of seven
counts, but she encouraged
mediation because a second
lawsuit was pending.
Following a fire in Febru-
ary 2004 that destroyed about'
half of the main building,
the restaurant, on Blackburn


Point Road in Osprey, was
closed. The county permitted
it to reopen, but the outdoor
tiki bar was ordered to remain
closed. Sarasota County rec-
ords showed the structure
was supposed to be a storage
shed.
Robert K. Lincoln, attorney
for von Hubertz, expressed
optimism last May that a
mediation session involving
both parties would resolve
the dispute. It centered on
zoning requirements in the
North Casey Key Conserva-
tion District. The county con-
tends that the Fish House is
within the district and subject
to its rules.
Stacked deck
Earlier this week, Lincoln
wrote to County Attorney


Stephen DeMarsh to request
a second mediation session
on a proposed new settle-
ment.
"I sent a written proposed
settlement offer in the matter
to Assistant County Attorney
Gary Oldehoff on March 12,
2007. ... To my knowledge,
the first written Proposed
Settlement Offer was never
presented to the Board of
County Commissioners," he
wrote.
Lincoln asked that among
those directed to represent
the county in the second
mediation session, County
Administrator Jim Ley or one
of his deputies be included.
County representatives at a
May 16 meeting included
Oldehoff; Martin Duran, a
code enforcement officer;


Tina Crawfqrd, then interim
zoning administrator; and
Paul Radauskas of Sustain-
able Sarasota, which is
responsible for the county's
green buildings program.
Radauskas stayed a short
time.
"Contrary to the normal
progression of good faith
mediation," Lincoln wrote,
"the county's initial position
simply regressed by first man-
dating terms that were
impossible, and then propos-
ing terms that were progres-
sively more unacceptable."
Von Hubertz has contend-
ed that "the county has from
the outset stacked the deck
against me."

County debuts
redesigned scgov.net
People accustomed to us-
ing scgov.net, Sarasota Coun-
ty government's Web site,
noticed a new look to the
page beginning Monday,
Sept. 10.
The redesign of the Web
site allows visitors to navigate
and access county informa-
tion quicker and easier.
Central to improving the
navigation capabilities on the
Web site is a CountyA-Z index
listed on, every page in the
upper left comer. The index
uses many descriptive terms
for county departments and
programs to make it easier for
visitors to the Web site to
locate the information they
are seeking.
Searching capabilities on
the redesigned scgov.net are
enhanced using the techno-
logically advanced Google
search engine.
Visitors to the site can also
find help by clicking the Call
Center link, then Navigation
Help, which will bring up a
short video presentation on
the Web site's new features.
Those visitors who have
bookmarked scgov.net in
their favorites will need to

Park fees could rise sharply


Kudos for Korwek


Some charges are new; current ones could as
much as double.


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

The $2,000 Venice City
Council isn't giving Venice
Little League this year is noth-
ing compared to what the
county has planned.
Under proposed rates for
city-owned but county-main-
tained parks and recreation
fields, VLL could see its costs
go up $8,000, it estimates.
And that's not counting
likely increases in utilities
costs.
County parks and recre-
ation officials visited Venice
Thursday to hold a workshop
at the Venice Community
Center.
Representatives from VLL
and the Sarasota County
Croquet Club, among others,
stopped by to get informed.
What they were presented
with is a proposal to, in many
cases, double fees.
A sampling of fees shows
pool rentals for secondary
school teams will go up from
$26 to $75 per hour; a new
diving well fee is $40 per hour.
Community pool rentals will
go from $22 to $40 per hour.
Clay court tennis rates will
go from $5.61 per hour to
$7.48; the seasonal three-
month tennis pass will
increase from $116 to $155.
The annual adult fee for ten-
nis will go from $349 to $465.
Rates will also increase for
use of the Venice Community


Center, "Showmobile" events,
equipment rentals, the Phil-
lippi Mansion, gyms, shelter
rentals; and open space
beach and parking rentals.
Athletic field rentals will go
from $16 per hour to a sliding
fee scale using a base fee of
$8.25 per hour per field plus
additional fees, such as
increased field preparation
costs, higher lighting fees,
new tournament fees at $50
to $100 per day, plus an
administrative league fee of
$35 per sports season.
Change the date for a
scheduled tournament or
cancel it, and that's another
$100.
To users of the parks the
fee increases seem drastic,
and far above the 3-percent
increase the county imposed
last year (although it hadn't
increased rates the four previ-
ous years).
Youth leagues
According to Lucille Vail-
lancourt-Krader, a Sarasota
County parks and recreation
-supervisor in charge of athlet-
ic field rentals, there is a rea-
son for that.
Her department's budget
of $4 million is being cut by
$900,000.
Recouping the cost of
maintaining the fields is a top
priority.
"Something has to change
to continue to have ball
fields," she said.


The department is target-
ing lighting fees and athletic
field fees to remedy the situa-
tion.
'"A lot of what was going on
was fields were being blocked
by some groups and not
used," she said.
"The more people we can
get on the fields, the better.
We're being more efficient. We
can't have empty fields when
people are waiting to get on
them."


"We're having to
become revenue-ori-
ented instead of
spending our time
coaching kids. That's
turning us into some-
thing we're not -
professional
fundraisers."
Little League
president
Charles Hines



Lights, in particular, were a
problem, especially last year.
Some groups were leaving
lights on all week long.
"That was casting the
county $500 to $600 a week,"
Vaillancourt-Krader said.
"It adds up if you have 109
fields ... to the point where
our bill last year was


School district taps 'sole distributor'


A contract with W. Grainger to deliver parts
directly to county schools could save millions,
but could cost local businesses.


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER


-The Sarasota County School
Boario voted-to approve a $12
million parts deJivery con-
tract in the hope ir will make
the district more organized.
The contract is with W.
Grainger to provide distribu-
tion services for its facilities
management department to
help it become more produc-
tive. The contract is not to
exceed $12 million.
Grainger will acquire and
deliver parts for school em-
ployees so they can stay on
site and work, Jody Dumas,
director of facilities services,
told school board members at
the Aug. 21 meeting.
The contract will greatly
reduce travel time for school
employees, but it could also


have implications for local
contractors by cutting them
out of the picture.
Mike McGrew, spokesman
for Grainger, said Grainger
will first look to its stores and
distribution center for parts
rather than purchase parts
from area vendors, which Was
the district's previous way of
handling the purchases.
Grainger does not charge
for the distribution or inven-
tory management services it
provides to the district, Mc-
Grew said. It only charges for
parts the district purchases.
The contract, according to
Dumas, will save the district
$1.8 million over a five-year
period.
Costs
Because the district will
now be obtaining its parts


through a sole distributor, the
new contract could 'affect
area businesses.
Last year, the school board
spent ,$1.7 million at area
businesses such as Babe's Ace
Hardware, Batteries Plus and
Lanning Tire Sales for the
same products Grainger will
now be purchasing for the
district. The school district
spent $302,437 at Trane Paris
Center of Sarasota last year,
for example.
Dtumas said the contract
with Grainger does not pre-
clude it from purchasing
parts from local businesses.
The district will keep open
those accounts should it need
their services, he said.
Many of the businesses
chose not to put in bids this
year, according to Dumas.
Despite possible ramifica-
tions to local businesses, the
board approved the contract
4-0. Board Chair Frank
Kovach was absent.

$400,000."
Little League president
Charles Hines said he under-
stood the county's dilemma,
but it leaves his organization
in a quandary.
"We're having to become
revenue-oriented instead of
spending our time coaching
kids. That's turning us into
something we're not pro-
fessional fundraisers," he
said.
"Unfortunately that's the
problem facing (us) all," Vail-
lancourt-Krader said.
More ideas
Parks staff say they're not
married to the fee rates, but
it's hard to imagine the pro-
posal won't make its way to
county commissioners for
approval.
They're inviting the public
to submit alternatives, if there
are any.
Some already proposed
include entrepreneurial en-
deavors like charging for the
batting cages atWellfield Park,
adding concession stands or
pursuing grants to subsidize
youth leagues.
The parks and recreation
department presentation to
the Sarasota County commis-
sioners takes place Oct. 24.
Rates would take effect Jan.

In a Sept. 9 article on the city council race, candidate Ed

United States secretary of education under Lyndon
Johnson and Ronald Reagan. In fact, Martin was assistant
secretary under the Carter Administration. He began as
deputy associate commissioner under Johnson. He was
associate commissioner under Nixon, acting deputy com-

assistant secretary under Carter, and career executive
under Reagan.

Voters to decide surtax, land-use issues


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER


Nov. 6 will be a day of deci-
sions for Sarasota County vot-
ers.
Because of ordinances
approved Wednesday by the
county commission, two ref-
erendums will be on that
day's ballot.
The first, if passed, would
allow the continuation of the
current 1-cent infrastructure
sales surtax for another 15
years from 2010 to 2024 -
and would raise $1.4 billion to
cover such programs as:
Transportation $344.2
million
Water and sewer $98.3
million
Parks $64.2 million
Criminal justice $51.1
M llin


"They'll come out for should come from a joint
venture with other counties,
it like they always such as Manatee, DeSoto and
have" Charlotte.
"I can't accept the fact that
Sarasota County we're going to spend between

Commissioner $50 (million) to $60 million
on a new jail until we explore
Shannon Staub regionalization," Barbetta
said.


General government -
$7.4 million
Historical museum $2
million
Initially left off this list in
the criminal justice category
was $56 million in funding for
a much-needed detention
facility. Deputy County Ad-
ministrator David Bullock
offered three options for the
commissioners' considera-
tion:


/J1onl 1. Finance all of it with an
SPublic safety- $50.6il-alternative revenue source.

Libraries -$23.5 million 2. Finance a portion of it

County Commissioner
Shannon Staub had faith the
voters would support the
sales tax extension.,
"They'll come out for it like
they always have," Staub said.
"They know their libraries are
going to be built and their
parks are going to be built
and their trails are going to be
built."


Poles apart
Next up was a referendum
to amend the county com-
prehensive plan to require a
super majority (at least 4-1)
vote on land-use density
issues. This drew strong criti-
cism and support from
two speakers in a public hear-
ing just before the vote.
Attorney Michael Furen of
the Icard Merrill law firm
objected to
the notion,
calling it "un-
constitution-
al." Furen was
countered by
Bill Earl, a
S retired attor-
ney and chair
of Sarasota
Staub Citizens for
Se n s i b le
Growth, which acquired the
necessary 12,500 signatures
on a petition to bring the
issue forward.
"We'd like you to look at
this as a mechanism to build
a shared vision to the future
of this community," Earl said.
The commissioners ap-
proved it unanimously.

Teacher merit plan unpopular


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER


A teacher evaluation pro-
gram that could pay some
district teachers a 5-percent
bonus seems unlikely to get
their approval.
Negotiators from the Sara-
sota Classified/Teacher's As-
sociation and the Sarasota
County School District dis-
cussed the Merit Award Pro-
gram Wednesday.
MAP is a performance
evaluation dictated by the
state that gives teachers from
each district the chance to
earn a 5-percent bonus each
year. The evaluation is weigh-
ed 40 percent on the teacher's
annual performance apprais-
al and 60 percent student
achievement.
Neither the district and nor
the union believes the pro-
gram is ideal.
* "It's not perfect," Lori
White, associate superin-
tendent for the district, said.
"I don't expect you'd see any
performance-based evalua-
tion that's perfect."
"It (MAP) builds in a 75 per-
cent failure rate," SC/TA execu-
tive director Barry Dubin said.
MAP only ensures 25 per-
cent of teachers from any dis-


trict will achieve the bonus
because there is a limited
amount of funds. The bonus-
es are given based on highest
scores until the funds run out.
In addition, the student
performance is based on
Florida Comprehensive As-
sessment Test scores. A teach-
er who teaches a subject
FCAT doesn't cover must de-
vise a test to measure student
performance.
Because of the fluctuation
of FCAT scores, the number of
students a teacher may have
and the 25 percent cap on the
number of teachers who will
receive the money, there is a
potential for only specific
groups of teachers to get the
bonus, according to Dubin.
MAP has to be voted on by
the school board and instruc-
tional bargaining unit for it to
go into affect. The board is
scheduled to vote on MAP on
Sept. 18, and the instructional
bargaining unit has until Oct.
1 to decide. If the program
doesn't get the OK of both
sides, the bonus money goes
back into the state's budget.
Dubin doesn't see the pro-
gram passing.
"Our guys won't vote for it,"
he said.

ter, the projects, such as the
proposed Sawgrass Park and
a planned reduction in the
scope of improvements for
Venice Myakka River Park,
could be canceled altogether.
The city also cut more than
30 positions from its payroll.
Fifteen people lost their
jobs; the remaining positions
were left unfilled until their
deauthorization.
On the revenue side, the
city embarked on a revenue-
generating campaign, in-
creasing airport property
rents for the city's mobile
home park, airport hangars
and leases, raising utility rates
and upping building permit
fees.
Those actions, and others,
allowed the city to keep more
than $300,000 in raises for
city managers and exempt
employees. Many of the rais-


es were in the $8,000 to
$10,000 range.
The raises were granted in
February to help retain staff
by keeping salaries competi-
tive with surrounding areas.
Reserves healthy
Also protected from the
budget ax are millions in
reserves, a priority for council
and the city's administration
who are hedging their bets
against future state-mandat-
ed reductions in ad valorem
taxes and the ever-present
potential of a natural disaster.
The city currently has
about $15 million in unre-
stricted fund balances.
That could grow next'year
to $16.9 million, but much of
the funds are encumbered,
either through contracts al-
ready negotiated, earmarked
loans for future projects or as


inventory that goes on the
books as unused revenue.
The reserves are spread
out among nearly 30 separate
funds, the largest being $3
million in the general fund,
$4.6 million in the GO Bond
construction fund and $2.5
million in the airport fund.
Most of the fund reserves
are not interchangeable; that
is, funds cannot be with-
drawn from one and moved
into another. For example,
city rules dictate capital
reserves must be spent on
capital projects.
Council's goal is to with-
hold three months worth of
city operating expenditures
for the general fund, and four
months of operating expen-
ditures in its enterprise funds.
The current general fund
has $3 million in reserves.

No difference
He said that since the
start of his battle with
the county, tiki bars had
been approved at Leary's, a
restaurant on Sarasota's
waterfront; Captain Curt's
restaurant in Siesta Key; and
the Stump Pass Grill in
Englewood.'
It took a ruling by a spe-
cial magistrate for the Stump
Pass proposal to be accept-
ed. The proposed structure
- a "chickee hut" is
exempt from the provisions
of the Florida Building Code,
according to the ruling.


"If the county won't let me
reopen our tiki bar, we'll fol-
low the example of the
Stump Pass Grill," von
Hubertz promised.
The Englewood restau-
rant uses its chickee hut for
outdoor dining and bever-
age service.
It employed members of
the Mickosukee tribe of the
Seminole Nation to design
and build it.
The structure that von
Hubertz proposes if the tiki
bar is denied would be a
concrete slab with a maxi-
mum footprint of 20 feet by


30 feet for patron seating.
"I'm certainly willing to
stop serving drinks by 9 p.m.
at the tiki hut/chickee hut,
and shutting down by 10
p.m., if that's what people
want. And we'd dismiss our
suit if the county drops its
counterclaim," he said.
"But how does our situa-
tion differ from those in
Englewood, Siesta Key and
Sarasota?" von Hubertz
asked,
"All of us just want to stay
in business as waterfront
spots, which are disappear-
ing."

OUR VIEW


grows in mortgage crisis


A 1l of Southwest Florida has been hit
hard by the collapse of the housing
market.
It is difficult to feel truly sorry for some of
the "flippers" who thought they could make
a killing by reselling new homes they con-
tracted to have built. As with any business,
when one speculates in the marketplace,
there always is risk.
But what about property owners who,
through no fault of their own, now find
themselves in serious financial trouble and
are on the verge of losing their homes?
There is mounting evidence that during
the height of the 2004-2005 building boom
mortgages were written by banks and
lending agencies without proper investiga-
tion into the financial condition of


the borrowers.
Some lenders persuaded buyers to sign
on the line for an ARM an adjustable rate
mortgage. What the family apparently didn't
know was that an ARM permits the bank or
mortgage company to jack up its interest
rates over time.
'Some who agreed to a 5.75 percent rate in
2005 now find themselves paying 7.75 per-
cent interest or more. Just a 2- or 3-percent
hike in the interest rate drives the monthly
payment to a point that some families sim-
ply can't handle the cost.
In many families it already took two
family members holding down jobs to
earn enough to pay their bills. So if a hus-
band or wife is laid off, or one earner gets
seriously ill, that family can find itself in


very deep trouble.
Worse, those in trouble can't sell their
homes in this difficult market. In fact, the
appraised value of their property may be
well below what they paid for it a year or so
ago as local home prices tumble.
The federal government is growing afraid
the housing slump could lead to a national,
or even worldwide, recession, and so it is
now considering bailing out the lenders.
But what will happen to Joe and Mary or
Mike and Beth and all the other ordinary
people who face foreclosure because they
can no longer pay their mortgage?
Back during the Great Depression of the
1930s, state governments found ways to
help property owners save their homes by
mortgage moratoriums.


By 1936 a total of 28 states had passed
"mortgage relief legislation," which put off
foreclosures until owners could work out
solutions with their banks. These laws also
put pressure on the banks to be more
lenient toward their customers.
The most serious problem during that
era was that state lawmakers dithered and
delayed passing legislation until after
large numbers of families lost their
homes.
The 2007 crisis in Florida has now grown
large enough to consider taking a similar
step. And it needs to be done quickly.
Florida lawmakers should hold a special
session this fall to provide homeowners
relief. It could launch a national trend.
Florida could lead the way.

Point missed or ignored
Editor:
On Sept. 2, Mr. John Yur-

in your Aug. 17 edition. My
letter was an attempt to get a
point across in a humorous
way as opposed to the tone of
the response from Mr. Yur-
osko.
My point, which he either
missed completely or chose
to ignore, was that the golf
course and airport have exist-
ed without a major accident
that would not have hap-
pened with proposed chang-
es in place.

that I do not take five, or even

A bad idea that just won t die


JIM CLINCH
GUEST COLUMNIST


In 1957 Canadian-Ameri-
can economist John Kenneth
Galbraith published "The
Affluent Society." Galbraith
was an excellent writer and
became a popular celebrity in
the '50s and '60s. For a long
time he was probably the
only economist that your
average working Joe had ever
heard of.
Galbraith's book became a
best-seller, and the author
went on to advise presidents
John Kennedy and Lyndon
Johnson, just as he had
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry
Truman before them.
The only problem with Dr.
Galbraith's book was that his
theories were, and remain,
mostly wrong.
"The Affluent Society"
posits that in modem, post-
World War II America, com-
panies create artificial de-
mand through their advertis-
ing and marketing, and this
subverts the free market.
The solution is that gov-
ernment run, one as-
sumes, by Harvard elitists like.
the author should manage
the economy so consumers
get what they need instead of
what they think they want.
A lot of people bought into


this idea that the public are
fools being manipulated by
greedy corporations, and only
a benevolent government can
save them. Some of those
people retired to Venice.
Welcome to the present, 50
years after the book and 18
years after the fall of the
Berlin Wall illustrated rather
graphically that old John
Kenneth and his Keynesians
really didn't know what they
were talking about when it
came to managed econo-
mies.
Here in our beautiful Ven-
ice area, however, we have
what amounts to a local polit-
ical party that still subscribes
to this Galbraithian dogma.
They are the "No Growth
Party."
Now, they aren't calling
themselves the "No Growth
Party," and they aren't pub-
lishing their manifesto.- In
fact, they are making every
effort to effect a "moderate"
facade.
Their objective, however, is
quite obvious to anyone able
and willing to think through
what they are advocating and
the results that will follow.
The "No Growth Party" has
several candidates running
for local office, and they are
also backing the "super
majority" initiative for Sara-
sota County, which is a
sneaky way to block future
land use changes by making it
more difficult for the county
commission to pass anything.
This anti-growth move-
ment subscribes to the notion
that you and I are just too
ignorant to be allowed to
decide for ourselves-what to
buy.
They believe that evil


developers building condos
and new neighborhoods are
the reason people are moving
here. As wacky as it sounds,
they really seem to believe no
one in Buffalo in February
would ever think of moving to
Florida if it wasn't for the
developers luring them here.
They are arguing that it is
the supply of golf course
communities and condos
that is artificially creating the
demand from buyers, not the
other way around. It is the
exact opposite of how our
free-market economy works,
but it's pretty much the same
wrong-headed idea about
supply and demand Dr.
Galbraith espoused 50 years
ago.
It's a damn shame when a
really bad idea refuses to die.
If these people succeed,
the results will have a huge
effect on your personal liber-
ty. Again, one needs to think
this through.
If you want to stop growth,
some authority has to enforce
the new no-growth rules.
That would be the govern-
ment. Every action of govern-
ment to limit the kind of
housing you can buy is an
erosion of your freedom.
Of course, some basic reg-
ulation is appropriate for
health and safety's sake, but
at what point do we find our-
selves in a society where the
government is, in effect,
telling us where we can live?
Much has been written
about the erosion of private
property rights in America.
On our local level, if the "No
Growth Party" wins then you
will lose if you are a property
owner.
But, the full picture is that


government entities here will
also be stripping away the
freedoms of prospective new
residents currently living in
Ohio or Connecticut or wher-
ever. We will have an institu-
tionally managed economy
that dictates to consumers
what they can buy instead
of a free-market economy
where home buyers vote with
their dollars on what they
want to be built.
Does advertising influence
buying decisions? Sure it
does. But how can anyone
possibly believe a retiree from
Indiana is going to buy a
home in Venice for hundreds
of thousands of dollars based
on a glossy brochure or a TV
commercial showing thin,
athletic seniors playing ten-
nis? Companies can only
wish their ads worked so well.
Yet, this is what the "No
Growth Party" has convinced
its followers.
The "No Growth Party" is
working overtime to sell more
voters on the flawed premise
that developers are causing
development.
First, they identify their
constituency. In our area, this
means they target older
retirees who hate change,
have trouble getting around,
are fearful of the future and
are wallowing in nostalgia.
Then they simply list all
the obvious problems with
growth: crowded roads, lines
at the grocery store, waiting
for a table at a restaurant, the
supposed water "crisis," etc.
. Then they demonize the
developer and "big business."
The party line is that greedy
companies just want to make
money, and we all know the
politicians are in cahoots


with them.
The disturbing reality is
that this strategy just might
work. By frightening the old
people and rallying the few
unreconstructed hippies, re-
tired union thugs and former
liberal arts professors in
town, the "No Growth Party"
could win out.
I think they are pulling out
all .the stops because they
realize this is their last, best
chance to win. Blue-collar
WorldWar II-aged retirees are
dying off fast and are being
replaced by new retirees who
are younger, better educated
and better off financially.
I'm hopeful, and-the anti-
growth zealots are fearful,
that retiring boomers will be
less susceptible to their fear-
mongering in years to come.
Our local economy is slow
and is likely to stay that way
for a while. But if you think it's
bad now, imagine what it will
be like if the "No Growth
Party" wins: A victory by
the anti-growth contingent
would be a disaster for prop-
erty rights and the local busi-
ness community.
If there was ever a time for
sensible people to get out and
vote, this is it.

Once a week is enough
Editor:
The writer suggesting
garbage collection once a
week in summer may be
interested in Venice City
Council's reaction to a sugges-
tion that garbage collection
be once a week year-round, in
order to cut city expenses as
well as achieve a modest
reduction in everyone's water
bill.
Council's response was
that twice-weekly garbage
collection was a "quality of
life" issue. City residents want
twice-weekly collection; it is
regarded as a "social occa-
sion'r for older citizens of
Venice who may not have
many social contacts.
Speaking for myself, an
older Venice resident, I find
many social occasions open
to me, and often transporta-
tion to get there. I never see
anyone to "socialize" with
when I put my garbage and
recycling out, and I do so only
once a week.
If you neither Want twice-
weekly garbage collection or
the social contact that may
occur when transporting your
can(s) to the curb, please let
city council know.
In an era of belt tightening,
once-a-week pickup would
achieve some saving for the
city, as well as many city of
Venice residents of modest
means who struggle with the
high cost of living here.

ROGER BUTTON

service weekdays on drop-
offs before 9 a.m. daily," said
Carlson, who has 20 years'
experience in the cleaning
business.
Store hours will be 7 a.m.-7

Hair Salon, 1915 South Tami-
ami Trail, near Seminole.
She offers haircuts for all
the family, coloring for men
and women, permanent wav-
ing and facial waxing.

because it is catchy and
means breathe with ease after
haircuts and color services,"
said Pokrovsky.

salons in Pennsylvania for
seven years before moving to
Venice three years ago. She
has a stylist joining her next
week and plans to hire two


more, eventually introducing

Doctor's 35
years in Venice
"I have no intention of re-
tiring. I am doing what I al-
ways wanted to do, happily
married with a wonderful
family and I love working in
Venice," said Dr. Bob Ross,
who celebrated 35 years prac-
ticing urology surgery in Ven-
ice.
His career began in De-
troit, Mich., then took him to
Pompano Beach, Fla. He re-
gretted the choice and 12
months later moved back to a
teaching hospital in Detroit.
Within a year he came to
Venice, joining colleagues op-
erating from offices at 219
Palermo Place.
"It was August 1972. I was
the 30th doctor in the city;
now there are 200," said Ross.


He set up the practice RTR
Urology in the York Building
on Nokomis Avenue in 1975
after he was joined by Dr. Joe
Thro, who retired three weeks
ago.
Now his practice operates
in the Lakeside Medical Cen-
ter, 842 Sunset Lake Blvd., off
Jacaranda Boulevard.
Forty-four years ago he
married Toni, a registered
nurse who works in his office;
they have three married chil-
dren.
"I believe I am the senior
urologist on the entire West
Coast of Florida," Ross said.

BIZ BRIEFS


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

A new downtown experi-
ence for men and women is
promised with the opening of
a unique spa.
Born in Provence, France,
Annette Michaels is opening
Spa Venice, 225 W Miami Ave.
A graduate of the Sorbonne at
19, her career, began as an
aesthetician training at a
School of Aesthetics and Spa
in Paris.
"It will be different, with no
hairdressing or nails. Our
trained massage therapists
will offer massages, scrubs,
wraps and facialg" said Mi-
chaels, spa director.
Her plan for the spa is to
provide people with a com-
pletely new experience in spa


facilities.
Following major property
renovation, Spa Venice is tar-
geted to open in October.
In 1974 Michaels came to
New Jersey as an exchange
student. There she met and
married her husband, Marc.
For 15 years as an aestheti-
cian, she worked with a.plas-
tic surgeon and dermatolo-
gist. Five years ago with her
husband she moved to Flor-
ida and continued her career
on Longboat Key and in Sara-
sota.
Spa Venice will have seven
rooms decorated in less-clini-
cal surroundings with more
emphasis on a therapeutic,
soothing and relaxing ap-
pearance. One room will be
for clients to enjoy tranquility
and relax.


"Opening up a room, we
will introduce couple mas-
sages where our therapists do
two people: couples, friends,
parents and children," said
Michaels.
As an aesthetician she does
facial micro-dermabrasion,
skin planing to remove fine
layers of dead skin and skin
imperfections. Services will
include full-body waxing hair
removal for men and women.
She is very skilled at ender-
mologie, the laser removal of
hair. Her inclination is for nat-
ural treatments; and she ad-
mits to being a big fan of east-
ern medicine.
Plans are for the spa to
open seven days with late
nights till 8 p.m. on Thursdays
and Fridays.

Youth: Your time will come


Sad to verse. I was out the other day and I witnessed some-
thing that made me kind of sad. It was young people making
fun of old people, so I thought I'd pass this on to you.
"We are the old folks that you see whose path through life
we've clung.
And like us you will sometime be, for once we too were
young.
We are now in life's aftermath and by the grace of God, your
feet will travel over the path our weary feet have trod.
The things we should remember slip by us just in time our
flame is now an ember and our efforts not in rhyme.
This is not our fault that we are .slow and linger in between
this earthly life we live to know and the life we've never seen.
So treat us kindly as you pass and as your days unfold,
remember your time is going fast and you too are growing old."
And I thought ... These young people who treat us so rude-
ly, you're going to be old some day too.


Outraged. I'm a city tax-
payer and I think the salary
increases are an outrage
when you have to eliminate
city employees from working
to give our city administrator,
Marty Black, a $15,000 pay,
hike. It was nice to have our
city hall receptionist greet
you, but her job means noth-
ing. Maybe she can go on wel-
fare. No one likes to talk to an
automated telephone system.
Questions. Some interest-
ing questions have come up
concerning the pay raises
proposed for many city of
Venice employees that fall
under management and non-
bargaining. Surveys generally
favor the current employees
of any organization, for the
:company hired to do the sur-
iveys would have a difficult
!time in getting work in the
\future if the results showed
!that the majority of the city
'employees were overpaid. I
'would imagine the city of
North Port and the city of
Sarasota would like to hire the
Same company. Also, it is nice
to compare apples to apples
as much as possible when
'doing surveys. Do other cities
and other businesses in the
:private sector surveyed have
the same working, hours as
the, same as ciry .of.~e;cp??
Many of the city of"Veruce
employees work 8.to 4, get-
Ling paid for 40 hours per
week. They get one hour for
lunch. This calculates that
they get paid for 40 hours a
week for only working 35
hours. The city taxpayers are
paying for their lunch breaks.
Not a bad deal. Not very com-
mon, but that's a great deal for
those who can afford it. How
many other cities do the
same? Not very many, Iwould
[think. Also, how many com-
panies pay for YMCA mem-
berships for getting fit? Giving
10- to 20-percent raises at the
same time others are losing


their jobs seems like a conflict
for sure.
Find a lot. This is in regard
to the motor homes that
aren't motoring. In 2001, I
went in front of the county
commissioners with pictures
showing that those guys are
showing up there as soon as it
opens. There were 20 of them
at a time in the little park
across from Pelican Alley and
the marina. They set up camp
while I set up and took pic-
tures. They filled their motor
homes with water from
across the street, dumped
their garbage and, while I was
taking pictures, they actually
ran me out of there. They told
me I didn't belong there. Why
should we pay them to live
there? When season starts,
you can go back up there and
they're there. I don't think it's
right. They need to go to a
motor home park instead of
going to Wal-Mart parking lot
to live while we pay for it.

and for about 40 minutes I
heard this motor running. I
located an ambulance park-
ing between Riviera, Nokomis
and San Marco, just running,
running, running. Finally, I
noticed a young lady hop out.
So I took the number and call-
ed Ambutrans, and though
the dispatcher was extremely
nice, she told me that there
are 15 ambulances posted
around Venice with, I pre-
sume, their motors running
unless they are somewhere
where they're underground or
in a garage or something
where there's an air condi-
tioning thing I don't know
the technicalities of it. They're
all running their motors wait-
ing for action. This is a hor-
rendous waste of gas, and pol-
lution. She very nicely said
that she could move the am-
bulance. I said, "Please do.
Move it into the parking lot of
the medical building so at
least I won't have to hear it all
the time and watch it pollute
Nokomis and Riviera." There
must be some way to go to a
page or a cell phone and get
to their ambulances and rush
off. I don't know how many
gallons of gas they are wasting
every day at $3 a gallon, but it
seems foolish and wasteful.
Trim them. I'm calling
about the palm trees on Albee
Farm Road. We finally have
gotten the grass cut on the
new Colonia Lane, now I'd
like to see somebody take care
of the palm trees. They really
need to be trimmed.

Venice-area athlete the center of attention


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Venice High School is
entrenched in an all-out re-
cruiting war.
Before you go calling the
FHSAA to blow the whistle,
know that the targeted pro-
spect is already a freshman at
Venice.
Her name is Dana La-
Rocque, and everybody
wants her on their team.
The Venice volleyball
coach and an Olympic De-
velopment Program soccer
coach from Clearwater are
competing for her services.
She is also turning coaches'
heads from track and field to
high school soccer.
"I feel like I know who the
fifth- and sixth-graders are in
Venice and she's kind of a kid
that we keyed in on a long
time ago," Head Volleyball
Coach Brian Wheatley said.
"She's a great kid, she's very
competitive. She fits our pro-
totype of what we want in one
of our players down the road.
Anytime there's an athlete, we
always go after athletes."
"She's got to be one of the
better female, all-around ath-
letes at Venice High School,"
JV volleyball and Venice Area
Middle School track and field
coach Gary Halbert said. "Just
by my having coached her in
two sports, it's obvious she's a
great athlete."
It all started about seven
years ago with club soccer.
LaRocque moved to Venice
before her second-grade year
and her parents wanted to get
her into sports. She played
here in Venice for a while, but
her ability soon allowed her
to make the jump to a more
competitive league.. ....
"I just wanted to do it for
fun," she said. "But I started
getting pretty good."
With the Clearwater


Chargers club soccer pro-
gram, LaRocque could travel
all over the Southeast to com-
pete with the best players
from all over the region.
Clearwater plays in the
Region III Premier League
East Division, which is made
up of some of the best teams
from Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina.
Last season, Clearwater was
selected to participate in
Soccer America Magazine's
top-rated soccer tournament,
Disney's Soccer Showcase
presented by Adidas. The best
teams from all over the coun-
try converge on Orlando for
the tournament, and one
team from each age group
emerges as the champion.
LaRocque and the under-14
Clearwater Chargers won last.
year's showcase, and the
under-15 team has been
selected again. They expect to
be in the running for the
championship again this
year.
"We play nationally ranked
teams and sometimes we
take our licks. It kind of shows
Dana where she's at and,
more often than not, she
comes out ahead," Chargers
under-15 Head Coach Siggi
Nagele said. "You have to
make sure they learn some-
thing, have some fun along
the way and get challenged.
Dana loves that, she loves to
compete against the best
players out there."
Two years ago, LaRocque
made the Olympic Develop-
ment Program team for her
age group in the state of
Florida.
"They try to identify kids
12 and 13 years old, the kid
that has something special,"
-Nagele'said. "Every year they
see who progresses up the
ladder. She's obviously one of
the best players in the state of
Florida, if not the Southeast."


Coming from a 20-year
veteran of soccer coaching,
that's a pretty big compli-
ment. Before coming to the
Clearwater program, Nagele
was the head coach at Eckerd
College in St. Petersburg from
1996 to 2003. He has been
involved in the Olympic De-
velopment Program for more
than 15 years.
This year's under-15 team
is 3-0-1 and ranked first in the
eastern division. LaRocque
has four goals and one assist
for the season, placing her at
the top.of the division in scor-
ing.
And yet she still finds the
time, and the energy, for vol-
leyball. Club soccer season is
year-round, and right now
volleyball season is overlap-
ping.
"I've been missing soccer
practices for volleyball
matches," LaRocque said.
"I'm sticking with volleyball
during the week and soccer
during the weekends."
Last year was LaRocque's
second year playing volley-
ball. As an eighth-grader at
Venice Middle School, she
helped the team win the
county championship. In the
same year, she found addi-
tional success in track and
field.
"Danm had never even
long-jumped in her life and I
had her jumping as good as
any girl in the county,"
Halbert said.
Despite being- relatively
new to volleyball before this
season, the Venice freshman
skipped the freshman team
and is already getting signifi-
cant playing time on the
junior varsity squad. So far,
the IV Indians are undefeat-
ed. -
"I always try to encourage
girls to do a lot of different
things so they don't get
burned out on one particular

by Adidas with her under-14 Clearwater Chargers teammates.


sport or one particular thing,"
Nagele said. "It's a good bal-
ance for her because I don't
want anybody to get bored or
burned out. Having two
things that she enjoys is prob-
ably a good thing."
But playing volleyball is
taking time away from soccer.
"I've got my own opinions.
about JV volleyball taking
away from my time," Nagele
said. "But she's still a kid. I
don't want to restrict them
from doing things they enjoy.
It does take time away from
what I think she's best at."
Which brings us back to
soccer. Rumor has it that the
soccer coaches at Venice High
School are waiting to hear


what LaRocque will do when
the season rolls around this
winter. She has to decide
whether to stick with the club
team or make the transition
to high school competition.
There would certainly be less
traveling with the Venice
team, but the level of compe-
tition in the Premier League
may be a little higher.
"I don't know about soccer
for high school yet," LaRocque
said. "I'm just going to stick
with volleyball for now."
With such' talent, La-
-'Rocque has a real opportuni-
ty to turn her abilities into a
college scholarship. The only-
question is: Soccer, volleyball
or both?


LaRocque said if she had to
make a decision tomorrow on
one or the other, she would
choose soccer. She won't have
to make that choice tomor-
row, but she may need to
make it sometime soon.
"She's starting to get into
the age when she needs to
start thinking about college
and if soccer is going to be an
avenue or volleyball," Nagele
said. "She could be great in
soccer, [I] have not seen her
in volleyball, but [she] proba-
bly could excel there too. She
is' a 'naturally gifted athlete
with unlimited potential for
Jfuture-stardom."

Venice Vikings continue

to dominate with defense


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR


Three games into the sea-
son and two teams in the
Venice Vikings Pop Warner
program have yet to give up a
point.
The Midget division War-
riors and the Junior Midget
division Crusaders each wrap-
ped up their third-straight
shutout as the rest of the
Vikings teams finished the
day 2-1 Saturday against Eng-
lewood.
The Midget division War-
riors had their way with the
visiting Cougars in this rivalry
game, winning 30-0. Joe Ko-
walczyk recorded a 15-yard
touchdown pass to Kyle Rid-
ley.
Anthony Alexander added
scoring runs of 11 yards, 40
yards and three yards.
David Voigt scampered off
on a 30-yard score on a half-
back option pass.
Christian Allen disrupted
the Cougar offense all eve-
ning in a dominating perfor-
mance from the nose guard
position. Dustin Bauman,
Jerimaiah Mersek, and Josh
Hewitt also had good defen-
sive nights against the Cou-
gars in this shut-out victory.
The Warriors advance to 3-0
on the season.
The Junior Midget division
Crusader defense dominated
Englewood from start to fin-
ish on the way to a 30-0 victo-
ry. Leading tacklers Davis
Martin, Frankie Gionfriddo,
Dom Fanti and Michael Lorio
never let Englewood get any-
thing going.
Zaeh Flerlage was 4 for 5
passing Including a 61-yard
touchdown pass to Jack Jes-
key.
Jeskey tallied another mul-
ti touchdown performance
adding touchdown runs of 53


and 48 yards. Gionfriddo got
into the action with an excit-
ing 57-yard touchdown run.
Lorio ran well behind the
solid blocking of Logan
O'Brien and Sean Mon-
tgomery. The Crusaders
improve to 3-0.
The PeeWee division Lanc-
. ers advanced to 2-1 with a 12-
0 win, making it three
shutouts on the day. Chase
Keuntzel and Rhett Dinka led
the defense in tackles, and
Dinka and Zak Harmon re-
covered two Englewood fum-
bles.
The game-ending sack by
Mike Schweinert put an ex-
clamation point on the game
for the Lancer defense.
Quarterbacks Jordan Key-
so and Dinka kept the ball on
the ground most of the game.
Harmon found the end zone
from 19 yards and Tyler Mc-
kenzie from four yards.
The Mighty Mites division
Kings rebounded from last
week's, loss with a win over
Englewood to advance to 2-1.
The Tiny Mites division
Danes also had another good
game, with Jaivon Heighly
racking up three touchdowns.
Straily Slaight and Tommy
Deans added defensive pres-
sure with several sacks.
Although the score is not
kept in the Tiny Mites divi-
sion, the Danes were the
dominant team.
The Junior Pee Wee divi-
sion Knights were the only
team to fall to Englewood. It
was their first loss of the sea-
son.
Shane Burns' eight solo
tackles on defense and 43
yards rushing on offense
offered some hope for the
Knights in next weeks contest
facing the Clewiston Cougars.

Venice High School golf

ends week unscathed


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR


Both the boys and girls golf
teams from Venice High
School finished off a perfect
week Thursday.
The girls defeated North
Port High School in their only
match of the week. Although
Venice had won by forfeit
before the match even started
because of North Port's lack of
a fourth player, the Indians'
top three still outscored the
opposition 147-169.
For the next two weeks the'
girls will be without Casey
Kennedy as she is playing in
out-of-state tournaments and
visiting with family in South
Carolina. But the Indians
fared well enough Thursday,
with Crystal Smith recording
just one bogey through eight
holes. She had a double-
bogey on No. 9 to record a
day's best 3-over-par 40.
Courtney Treubert of
North Port was close on her
heels with a 41 on the day.
Venice High School's Gina
Cassan and Seirra Rhodus
each outscored the rest of the
North Port opposition by 8
strokes or more.
After beating Lemon Bay
High School Wednesday, the
boys defeated Cardinal Moon-
ey High School by two strokes
Thursday to advance to 4-2-2.
Against Lemon Bay,
Spencer Dunford led the
Indians with birdies on No. 6
and No. 9 for a 2-under-par
afternoon at 34. Brian Doyle
and Eric Bennett also record-
ed two birdies. Doyle finished
with an even-par 36 and
Bennett finished one-over
with 37. As a team, Venice fin-
ished with a score of 144 to
Lemon Bay's 155.
The following day against
Cardinal Mooney, the scores
were a bit higher but the


Indians prevailed 156-158.
"I would have thought that
we would have done a little
bit better than that after yes-
terday," Head Coach Marty
Tarala said. "But 156 is re-
spectable."
Billy Stevens led Venice
with a 38 on the day, with
Dunford and Timmy Garofalo
scoring a 39. Doyle rounded
out the counted scores for the
Indians with a 40. The two
scores that did not count were
both 41.
"I think they're starting to
just feel comfortable now so I
expect the scores will contin-
ue to start climbing down,"
Tarala said. "If you look at the
spread from 38 to 41 and
every one of those guys can
shoot better. There's not a one
of them that's as low as they
should be."
Ray Cowrat of Cardinal
Mooney had the low score of
the day with a 37.
The boys have a packed
week ahead. They face Book-
er, Charlotte and Lemon Bay
high schools in a quad match
at Jacaranda West Country
Club Monday, followed by a
match with Sarasota High
,School at Laurel Oak Country
Club Tuesday and a match
with Riverview High School at
Venice Golf & Country Club
Thursday.
All boys matches take
place at 3:30 p.m. each day.
The girls have one match
against Sarasota at Mission
Valley Thursday at 3 p.m.
"We've got a busy week.
Hopefully we can continue
through [the way we have
been playing]," Tarala said. "I
don't think there's a team we
can handle if we do what
we're supposed to do. I think
we should win them all."

Volleyball Indians

win in four, two

decided in extra points


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Venice High School volley-
ball continued to overpower
the state's top competition
Thursday night.
The Indians defeated last
year's Class 2A state runner-
up Evangelical Christian
School in four games 25-19,
23-25,33-31,26-24.
"It was a battle of the
heavyweights," Head Coach
Brian Wheatley said. "It was a
match that went kill for kill.
Our kids made a lot of come-
backs in the games. They
showed a lot of heart tonight."
A normal volleyball game
is decided by the first team to
reach 25 points, but at least a
two point lead is required.
Venice and Evangelical traded
the lead multiple times a
fought through multiple ties
in the third game before
Venice finally got the win at
33-31.
When a match is tied at
one game each, the team that


wins the third match gets a

celebrates 50th anniversary

dance for a picture.


4425 Yacht Club Drive.


The South Venice Yacht Club will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a party Oct. 13.


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

Despite being landlocked,
the South Venice Yacht Club
has reached its golden an-
niversary year.
Started by a group of fish-
ermen, it was formerly called
the Poor Man's Club, and
sometimes the "other yacht
club." By whatever name, it
has always been a gathering
spot for good times.
In 1957, when the founders
applied for a charter, they
decided to change the
tongue-in-cheek name to the
South Venice Yacht Club.
In the mid '50s, the
Intracoastal Waterway had
not been extended to the west
coast of .Florida. But as dig-
ging began in Fort Myers,
interest in a yacht club with a
marina picked up. Unfor-
tunately, the marina never
materialized, but the mem-
bers of this club hardly even
noticed.
Today, few of them have
boats.
The club has a boat ramp
but, as the adjacent water is
just 4 inches deep and club
access to Alligator Creek has
never been dredged, it is
never used.
"Ten years ago I climbed
up on top of.the ramp to
change the lines and discov-
ered birds walking on the
water," said Herbert Bryant,
the club's treasurer. "That's
when I finally knew we had
no navigable water."
"We once started a com-
mittee to raise funds from our
bingo sessions to clean out
Alligator Creek and maybe
build a marina," he said, "but
we changed our minds."
Growth
In the '60s, when the SVYC
obtained the required per-
mits to dredge the area, it was
decided that a clubhouse
would better suit members'
needs. Funding for the club-
house came from life mem-
berships sold for $100 each to
100 members.
The $10,000 raised was
used to build half of the club-
house. Money for the other
half came from the sale of
bonds. In later years, bonds
were sold to club members
for major improvements,
such as a sea wall.
Over the years the size of
the building doubled and
additional land to the south
was purchased for use as a
parking lot.
With no marina, the club
has turned to other activities to
keep its members interested.


"Basically, we are a social
club," said Dori Miller, vice
commodore. "Most of the
members don't have boats."
With or without boats, they
do not lack for things to do.
With line dancing and casino
and dinner theater trips, there
are always interesting activi-
ties going on.
Marina dream
Club members have never
given up on their goal to build
a marina.
"We are still working on
getting it, but today, the cost
and process is very difficult,"
said Alan Cole, commodore.
Cole would like the marina
built both for the pleasure of
the members and as a source
of income. The funds to build
a marina would have to come
strictly from fundraising ac-
tivities.
Bryant said that competi-
tion from other bingo venues
-in town caused the SVYC to
discontinue club games of
bingo, eliminating one op-
tion.
Helping out with getting
the money are the ladies of
the yacht club. Referred to as
the Even Keels, the ladies are
dedicated to raising funds to
support the club.
"We also do things, for the
community," said Joan Miller,
auxiliary member.,
The SVYC collects food for
the food bank and the Even
Keels runs a blood drive each
year.
"But mainly our purpose is
to raise money for the club,"
she said.
Limos
What the members lack in
boating activities, they make
up for in other ways.
September through June
they hold two dinner dances a
month. Picnics and outings
are held throughout the sum-
mer.
As the clubhouse is closed
for maintenance repairs dur-
ing July and August, outings
are held at the beach. The
most recent picnic was Aug.
18 at the pavilion on Mana-
sota Beach.
"Despite a thunder and
lighting storm, we all had a
good time," Miller said.
Each May, members cele-
brate prom night at the SVYC.
"Since we are all seniors,
we hold the senior prom,"
Cole said.
This year, Cole is planning
to have a limousine drive
some of the members to and
from the party.
"We didn't have limos
when we were in high school,

month for members.

so this will be something a
few of us always wanted to
do," he said.
Anniversary party
The SVYC will be celebrat-
ing its 50th anniversary with a
party Oct. 13 in the club-
house. The public is invited to

will be $20 per person.
At that time, members will
celebrate the birthday of their
oldest member, Charlotte
Foster, who will be 100.
Up until a few years ago
Foster taught hula lessons at


the club.
"You wouldn't know she is
100 to look at her; she doesn't
look a day over 80," Miller
said.
Miller's hula lessons are
just some of the memories
that club members and
friends will share at the Oct.

... The News from Ecineville


BY TED RANK
STAFF ESCRITOR

Hang on to your sanity,
ladies and gentlemen. It's
time for News from Ecine-
ville.
"I mean, what else would
you expect when you put
two women in bikinis, a man
dressed in a dog suit, local
church groups, an outraged
city councilor, a cook with a
large spatula and Ecineville
Ordinance Enforcement Of-
ficer Mildred Quata togeth-
er?" said Ecineville Public
Information Officer Pamela
Anderson.
Ecineville police estimate
that at the height of the may-


hem, a crowd of more than
200 people had gathered to
watch.
"It all started Thursday at
9 a.m. when we received
an anonymous call from
Walter Stinkkslaus com-
plaining about two women
in bikinis sitting on the lap of
a man dressed in a dog suit
in front of The Propitious
Puppy Restaurant and -
wait did I say the guy's name?
Don't put that in there. You
are going to put this quote in
aren't you? You are so mean
to me, Ted," said Anderson.
Anderson informed May-
or Juan Suarez, who called
Police Chief Trudy Redford
and a cruiser was sent to the


restaurant where indeed, the
officer observed a man sit-
ting in a chair dressed in a
dog suit with two rather
attractive women in bikinis,
one on each knee. The girls
were waving to the cars pass-
ing on busy U.S. Business 14.
"We're just helping to
advertise the restaurant,"
said one of the girls to EPD
Officer Mike Kiren.
Some thought it was a
strange coincidence that five
school buses loaded with
people from area churches
happened to be on their way
to Doowelgne for a confer-
ence entitled, Culture Wars:
The Immorality of Modern
Society, on the same day the


Propitious Puppy started its
new ad campaign.
Officer Kiren knew he had
a problem when the buses
stopped and the people dis-
embarked and were headed
straight for him not looking
too happy about this, as one
person put it, "obscene dis-
play of moral debauchery."
"I called in a signal 40
(civil disorder/riot)," said
Kiren.
"Probably an overreaction
by the officer," said EPD
Chief Redford.
When Ecineville City
Councilman Stu Redewatch-
el happened to drive by, he
saw his wife, Victoria, in
handcuffs being held by an


EPD officer in riot gear.
Redewatchel was arguing
with EPD officers to release
his wife when Pastor Cindy
Sinuskus tried to enter the
restaurant. Propitious Puppy
Restaurant cook George
"Spatman" Caw stood in the
doorway holding a large
plastic spatula in a threaten-
ing manner.
"SHUT UP. EVERYONE
SHUT UP!" yelled Ecineville
Ordinance Enforcement Of-
ficer Mildred Quata.
"I have determined that it
is not against Ecineville city.
ordinances to have two girls
in bikinis sitting on a guy's
lap if he's dressed as a dog.
Now, if he were dressed as a


female cat, that's against E12
Section 4-37 Article A para-
graph 3 subparagraph 9e.
"Everyone disperse, the
mayhem is over," yelled
Redford.
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, if you want to use
women in bikinis to adver-
tise your business here in
Ecineville, put some clothes
on them. (That doesn't make
any sense. Well, sure it
doesn't, I couldn't not dis-
agree with you on that. -
WHAT?)

Back to business in South Venice


ELLEN HILLSTROM
COLUMNIST


After a two-month hiatus,
the general membership of
the South Venice Civic As-
sociation' is returning to its
regular meetings on the third
Monday of each month.
The program for Monday,
Sept. 17 (at 7 p.m. at the South
Venice Community Center,
720 Alligator Drive), will be
well and septic tank mainte-


nance. This is really impor-
tant now that the workshops
for central water and sewer
have been put in abeyance
until after 2009.
Mr. Marc Swartz, Sarasota
County Health Department,
will explain the procedures
for preventing water system.
infections, well disinfections
and what constitutes quality
drinking water. He will dis-
cuss the homeowner's re-
sponsibility to, maintain
proper septic systems.
There will be updated in-
formation on what the SVCA
board has been involved in
during the summer, and what
plans are forthcoming. After
the business meeting, re-
freshments and friendship
will conclude the evening. As
usual, the public is invited to
join us.
There are a couple of hap-


openings I would like to bring
up at this time.
After seven years as devel-
opment director of the South
Venice Civic Association, and
manager of the Beach En-
dowment Trust, I will be ter-
minating my employment at
the end of this year. The sec-
ond happening is, after many,
many years as a volunteer
leader, and building manager
and chairman of the trust,
Rick Curwood has also in-
formed the board he will be
retiring.
It is very gratifying to hear
so many members and
friends tell us that we have
become irreplaceable be-
cause of all we do. Maybe
closer to December, we will
find some way to still be of
service.
The trouble with me retir-
ing again is not knowing


what I will be able to do next
year. I must confess my need
to retire now is being dictated
by my increasing low-vision
handicap. I know Rick wants
to concentrate on building
his new home.
The SVCA is more than 50
years old and there will be
new directions and new peo-
ple to succeed us.
I am reminded of my Dad's
lesson to each of his nine chil-
dren: "If you want to know
what kind of lasting impres-
sion you made in the world,
dip your finger into a glass of
water and when you pull it
out, see what kind of perma-
nent dent you left in the
water."
Good old Dad!

Ellen Hillstrom is the
South Venice Civic Associ-
ation development director.

Sarasota County seeks public defenders of lands


FROM SARASOTA COUNTY
COMMUNICATIONS

Sarasota County is seeking
volunteers to help celebrate
the 14th annual National
Public Lands Day by improv-
ing trails at county-owned
sites. From 8 a.m.-noon, Sat-
urday, Sept. 29,. staff from
Sarasota County Natural Re-
sources and Parks and Rec-
reation will guide volunteers
in the removal of exotic plant


species and the installation of
trail markers.
"Invasive plants have a
tendency to encroach on and
take over native habitats,"
said Public Use Coordinator
Brie Ondercin. "Some inva-
sive plant species are toxic
and harmful for other plants,
animals and even humans.
Removing them keeps them
from spreading farther
throughout the county's nat-
ural areas and into people's


back yards, and this is the
perfect opportunity to high-
light the problem and recruit
volunteers to help restore
natural areas."
According to Ondercin,
trail markers will be installed
at the Churchill Ranch site at
Deer Prairie Creek, 12600
Border Road, Venice. At the
same time, staff from Parks
and Recreation will be remov-
ing exotics from Pinecraft
Park, 1420 Gilbert Ave.,


Sarasota.
"Providing trail markers at
sites allow visitors, to better
enjoy our public lands," ,On-
dercin said. "This particular
project is a fun way to intro-
duce kids to nature while
improving the trails that visi-
tors hike."

The shofar sounds. Are we listening?


BENNETT GROSS
RELIGION COLUMNIST


There is no sound quite
like the shofar, the ram's horn.
Its shrill notes evoke the
greatness of God and the
humbleness of His creatures.
But above all, the sound of the
shofar pierces our hearts and
reaches up to the heavens as
it reverberates in synagogues
and temples where we, the
descendants of the ancient
tribes of Israel, come to wor-
ship for the High Holy Days
and mark the beginning of
the New Year, 5768.
"Tekiah, sevarim, teruah,
tekiah."
"Today is the birthday of
the. world; today all world's
creatures stand in judgment."
During Rosh Hashanah


andYom Kippur the sounding
of the shofar and the accom-
panying prayer is repeated
three times, proclaiming the
message of Zichronot. "God
will remember His covenant
with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob so that we continue to
be under His blessing and all
the families of the earth shall
be blessed through us."
While the High Holy Days
are considered days of judg-
ment, we sometimes over-
look its blessings, indeed
what we are blessed with.
During a recent visit to our
family in New Jersey, I read an
article in the local paper
describing how an individual
was able to deal with a life-
long disability and turn it into
a blessing.
Headlined: "Called to the
Torah at 31, man counts his
blessings," the story went on
to tell how Seth Shaffer had
been plagued with cerebral
palsy since birth and, because
of the lack of opportunities 20
years ago, he was prevented
from having his bar mitzvah
- a passage into adulthood
for 13-year-olds.
"The truth is some people
are just uncomfortable with


differences," Seth's father
said. "When he became a
teenager, we couldn't find a
synagogue that would take
him in and provide instruc-
tion."
I know that feeling all too
well. I stuttered severelywhen
I was 11, and the religious
school where I was enrolled
told my father I would never
be able to recite the Hebrew
prayers and the required
readings.
My father believed strong-
ly, however, that I should not
be denied my Jewish heritage
and hired a rabbi to tutor me.
A caring, gentle and patient
man whom I shall never for-
get, the rabbi sat with me
hour after hour until I
reached the point where I was
able to celebrate my bar mitz-
vah without any difficulty.
Afterwards, I can't say that I
felt benevolent toward those
who rejected me. But Seth
looked on his circumstances
differently. The point, he said
at his rite, was for him to show
how to live a full life despite
his "special circumstances."
Maybe a fuller life.
Interestingly enough,
Seth's reading for his bar


mitzvah was about Balaam,
sent by the Moabite King
Balak to curse Israel. Instead,
Balaam blesses the Israelites.
"The Torah reading teach-
es us how sometimes in life
we are given something
which seems like a curse,"
Seth said, "but which can be
turned into a blessing."
He described his disability
as being a source of opportu-
nity in that it gave him an
appreciation of how people
deal with all kinds of special
circumstances and still find
ways to make life special.
As the Rabbi of Seth's
Temple said, "Seth not only
inspires us but we learn from
him."
It is a story we can all take
to heart whenever we reflect
on our circumstances or
those of others in what we call
living a "normal life." The sho-
far sounds for us all to receive
God's blessings. Whether we
heed the call or not is our
choice. Shalom.

Web site breaks down obstacles and links worshippers with Holy Land


FROM NAPSA


A new Web site is breaking
down many obstacles -
time, travel costs, security
concerns to visiting one of
'the holiest churches in the
world.
It gives millions of Christ-
ians the opportunity to pray,
light their own candles and
receive a personal blessing
at the famed Annunciation
Church in Nazareth, via the
Internet.
Worshippers place a pray-


er, request through the site
and choose a time for the ser-
vice to take place. At the des-/
ignated time, a priest from
the Annunciation Church 'in
the Holy Land lights a candle
and offers a personal prayer
on the user's behalf. The site,
called Mirezo ("my prayer" in
Spanish), lets worshippers
watch the live ceremony in
real time over the Web at
www.mirezo.com.
-An emailable. version of
the ceremony can be saved
and shared with friends and

family. Funds raised will be
donated to the Church and to
local Christian communities.
The ritual use of candles
has long played an integral
role in Christianity, and it is
considered especially benefi-
cial to light candles at the
holiest churches.
The site was officially
launched during the Feast of
the Annunciation, the Christ-
ian holiday celebrating the
revelation thatnthe, Virgin.
Mary would coiiceive Je.siis.
The Church of the Annun-


ciation in Nazareth is the site
where, according to tradition,
the Virgin Mary went daily to
draw water, as well as the place
where her immaculate preg-
nancy was first revealed to her
by the angel Gabriel Scholars
say that in many respects, the
very essence of Christianity
was created at the site. Many
worshippers travel great dis-
tances to pray and light can-
dles at this church.
,:' Soe of my fondestmem-
ories growing up in Nazareth
took place when my father


would bring me to visit the
Holy Church of the Annun-
ciation," said Said Salem,
Mirezo's manager. "I want to
give this same opportunity to
millions of people around the
world regardless of their loca-
tion."
The site has the blessing of
the Bishop of Nazareth and
the support of local churches
that favor giving worshippers
the chance to connect with
their spirituality. ..

DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION

The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection's
(DEP) Oscar Scherer State
Park AmeriCorps members
are working to restore, and
protect Florida's natural envi-
ronment. The two-member
team of Lynn Crossfield 'of
New York and Donnie Cong-
don of Sarasota assists in
activities ranging from trail
and park maintenance to
environmental education
and wildfire management.
"The energy and enthusi-
asm our Florida State Parks

award-winning state parks
relies on volunteers such as
these AmeriCorps members."
The Oscar Scherer State

critical environmental and
human needs," .said Florida


State Parks Director Mike
Bullock. "They serve a vital
role by working with state
park staff to recruit and man-
age volunteers, providing
park visitors valuable envir-
onmental education and
working to maintain the park
facilities."
There are 40 AmeriCorps
members serving with Flor-
ida State Parks at 23 different
parks across the state. Launch-
ed in 1997, Florida State Parks
AmeriCorps is part of Ameri-

more than 70,000 citizens of
all ages and backgrounds
each year in results-driven
community service. For their
service, AmeriCorps mem-
bers earn education awards
that help pay for school or re-
pay student loans. The Flor-
ida State Parks AmeriCorps
program is administered by
DEP and operates in Florida's
160 state parks and surround-
ing communities. In coopera-
tion with park staff, local or-
ganizations and schools, Flor-
ida State Parks AmeriCorps
members provide service in
natural resource management,
environmental education and


volunteer recruitment
"Through my experience
as an AmeriCorps member, I
have gained a significant
knowledge and appreciation
for the natural and wild side
of Florida," said Oscar Scher-
er State Park AmeriCorps
Member Donnie Congdon Jr.
"It is an experience I will re-
member throughout my life."
The first two-time Gold
Medal winner honoring the
nation's best state park ser-
vice, Florida's state park sys-
tem is one of the largest in the
country with 160 parks span-
ning 700,000 acres and 100
miles of sandy white beach.
From swimming and diving
in Florida's rivers and springs
to birding and fishing or hik-
ing and riding on natural
scenic, trails, Florida's state
parks offer year-round out-
door activities for all ages.
Battle reenactments and Na-
tive American festivals cele-
brate Florida's unique history,
while art shows, museums
and lighthouses offer a win-
dow into Florida's cultural
heritage.

REAL ESTATE/CLASSIFIED


Palm-lined drive leads to country home


Palm trees line the nbw concrete drive from Snyder Road back to the
house.


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR

T he first, second and
third rules of real estate
are identical location
is the most important consid-
eration for anyone contem-
plating the purchase of a
home or business.
The most wonderful kitch-
en or bathroom can be recre-
ated in any house, but a good
location can rarely be dupli-
cated.
For those who desire wide
open spaces and room for
horses or other outdoor pur-
suits, it is hard to beat 5 acres
just off Jacaranda Boulevard,
east of Interstate 75's Exit 193.
Set well back on a new
palm-lined concrete drive is a
four-bedroom, three-bath
house with family room and
caged pool plus an out build-
ing for lawn equipment, out-
door furniture storage or even
a small boat and trailer.
The entrance hall is large
and there is a formal dining
room as well as a living room
and family room.
The present owner has
already replaced the roof of
the 1985 house and upgraded
bathrooms with the addition


of granite counters. Tile floor
placed on the diagonal covers
high traffic areas and the re-
maining carpeted floors are
carpeted in a medium shade
of beige.
The setting is the best of
old Florida. The palmetto has
been cleared, leaving land,
lots of land and the bank of
the Blackburn Canal ideal for
kayaking, canoeing or even
boating in a Boston Whaler or
similar-size boat.
Horses are allowed and
with 5-plus acres of grass, all
that would be needed is some
fencing and a barn.
The house has been freshly
painted outside and has such
interior amenities as a jacuzzi
tub and separate shower in
the master bath, walk-in clos-
ets, a fireplace in the family
room and eat-in kitchen with
a stainless, side-by-side re-
frigerator and freezer.
The list price of $699,900 is
reflective of the location and
the 5.3 acres on which the
2,673-square-foot, house was
built.
For an appointment to
see the house and property,
call Realtor Kat Dills of
Sunshine Property Group at
234-6345.

for smaller boats.

and home addresses may be picked up at the Venice office,
110 N. Nokomis Ave., on the island of Venice. For more

CAR TALK: CLICK & CLACK
iReader needs a second opinion: My wife's car is a 2001 Highlander with approximate-
ily 54,000 miles. About two years ago it began consuming oil and has gotten progres-
sively worse. It has failed the last two emissions tests, the check-engine light comes on
,regularly and it produces a large plume of blue smoke in the morning. See page 2

The 2007 Kia Rondo may not be exciting, but it shines when it comes to utility. With good fuel economy and
room for seven, it's ideal for young families. See Page 2
