Inspector's report


expected at housing


board meeting


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

After a month-long inten-,
sive study of the Venice
Housing Authority, inspector
Benjamin Bell will report his
findings and recommenda-
tions Thursday at the VHA
board meeting.
Board members were un-
willing or unable Tuesday to
comment on the information
prior to the meeting.
"We have his recommen-
dations and they will be
announced at the meeting,"
said Sam Prost, VHA chair.
Bell is employed by M.D.
Strum Housing Service, an
independent contractor in
Indianapolis, hind., that sup-
plies the federal Department
of Housing and Urban De-
velopment with analysts who
are responsible for adminis-
trative and managerial re-
views of HUD-funded pro-
grams.
The advice does not come
cheap. In 2006, HUD paid
M.D. Strum $1,548,183 for


analysis of five public housing
agencies.
Marcus Goodson, director
of the Housing Authority of
Fort Myers, was not aware of
the M.D. Strum audit at the
VHA. His agency has been
providing on-site technical
assistance to the VHA for the
past year.
"Sometimes situations call,
for drastic changes, and may-
be Venice has reached that
point," he said.
Bill Kalbas, public infor-
mation coordinator for HUD,
Tampa, said that during the
meeting the board adviser
will provide an assessment of
the situation at the VHA.
Kalbas declined to share
the report prior to the meet-
ing.
Viability
The former president of
the VHA residents council
thinks the report will deter-
mine the future of the low-
income housing complex.

Nokomis to get a

downtown at village


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Final plans for the 221-acre
Village on the Trail at State
Road 681 and U.S. 41, re-
viewed Monday by the Sara-
sota Board of County Com-
missioners and the developer,
promise a downtown for No-
komis..
The shopping and residen-
tial complex, valued at about
$800 million just months ago,
will include 1,850 residences,
220,000 square feet of retail
and office space and assisted
living facilities.
Henry Rodriguez' SDC
Communities Corp. and Bend-
erson Development Corp-
oration will develop jointly the
commercial portion, accord-
ing to Rodriguez.
One of the largest privately
owned development compa-
nies in North America,
Benderson is building a simi-
lar retail-office-residential
complex at University Park-
way and Interstate 75 in Sara-
sota. It will include 1,700 con-
dominiums, townhouses and
apartments, three hotels con-
taining 500 rooms and 1.9
million square feet of com-
mercial space.
"Benderson's national
reach it owns and manages
250 similar projects in 35
states will assure that we
attract the highest-end retail-
ers in the country to Noko-
mis," Rodriguez said.
A 28-acre lake deep
enough for boating and fish-
ing and a pier will center the
complex. Rodriguez expects it
to be bordered by outdoor
cafes typical of Europe.
A town center just north of
the lake will include a nation-
al department store, a multi-
ple-screen movie theater, a
supermarket, ice cream
shops, a clothing store and
several restaurants.


Good morning,
Gondolier Sun subscriber,
JACK STAGER


The retail portion will be
contained in a 9-acre park
mall connected to the resi-
dential buildings by a leafy,
canopy oak tree road. The
mall will be surrounded by
residential buildings of three,
four and five stories.
Connections
Rodriguez said that addi-
tional green space within the
park will be gained by raising
the height of the residential
buildings. One will be 112 feet
high. Two others will be 99
feet. The fourth will be 75 feet.
A multiple-purpose trail 10
feet wide will connect resi-
dential, shopping and dining
destinations within the Vil-
lage. They, professional of-
fices, a clubhouse, church, a
day care center and a hotel-
like assisted-living facility
would all be within comfort-
able walking distances for res-
idents, according to Rod-
riguez.
The trail will extend to the
Legacy Trail, the 10.2-mile
rail-to-trail corridor that ex-
tends from Venice to Sarasota.
A trailhead is planned at the
Village.
Single-family homes are
planned at the southern end
of the site, which will be less-
densely built. Rodriguez esti-
mated that they will range in
price to $4 million each.
Three hundred market-
rate rental units were origi-
nally proposed. But the im-
pact fee schedules recom-
mended by the county for
2008 have put them on hold.
Duncan Associates' National
Impact Fee Survey, an In-
ternet publication, ranks the
county's proposed impact
fees among the highest in
Florida.
The complex will connect

Wal-Mart draws a crowd


The storm over
plans for a Wal-Mart
on Laurel Road and
Knights Trail blew
through Venice
Tuesday.

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Venice Planning Commis-
sion postponed a decision
Tuesday to approve or deny a
new site plan for The Ren-
aissance project by Waterford
Companies that includes new
plans for a Wal-Mart on
Laurel Road.
More than 50 people pick-
eted the meeting.
They weren't there to pro-
test the planned Wal-Mart.
Quite the opposite.
They were there to support
Wal-Mart, wearing T-shirts
and carrying signs that read
"save our local economy" and
"my vision of Venice includes
jobs."
The supporters, organized
in part with the help of Matt
Mohler, a consultant with
Front Line Strategies, were
mainly Waterford Companies
employees and employees of
subcontractors, there as part
of a largerWal-Mart Customer
Action Network.
The support network was
developed to counter protests
against the giant retail com-
pany whose success has been
criticized by some for effec-
tively pushing small mer-
chants out of cities across the
country. ,.
When they entered council
chambers they were asked to
put aside their signs as a safe-
ty precaution.
They joined an equally
vociferous crowd who were
there to protest the possible
coming of Wal-Mart.
City 'council members
have been barraged by doz-
ens of e-mails from Venetian
Golf & River Club residents
opposed to plans for a Wal-
Mart super center.
The 250-seat hall was filled
to capacity, and the commu-
nity room was opened for the
overflow audience, but few
got a chance to speak before
the commission until after 6
p.m.
Waterford Companies'
Mike Miller and Wal-Mart
representatives made their
case for approval of two sepa-
rate site plans covering two-
thirds of the The Renaissance

Parents think Pine View lottery is unfair


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER


Parents of gifted students
in Sarasota County are frus-
trated with the new lottery
system instituted at Pine
View.
At the Oct. 16 Sarasota
County School Board meet-
ing, parents expressed their
frustration to board mem-
bers.
Theresa Bensie said her
daughter, who is under age 8,
had already been accepted at
Pine View and worried she
would not have a place.
Associate Superintendent
Lori White said Bensie's
daughter is a part of a group

of five children that would
automatically be admitted
into Pine View because their
applications had already
been approved for next year.
Other parents who live in
the county, like Sarah Weiner,
Priscilla Adams and Stephen
Culp, have children enrolled
in private schools outside the
county and wanted to know
why their kids wouldn't re-
ceive any special considera-
tion.
The lottery gives first pref-
erence to children with sib-
lings who already attend Pine
View, second preference to
children who have been in
the school district for one
year, and final preference to


students new to the district.
The new rule doesn't ad-
dress private school students.
In addition, the eight par-
ents that spoke to the board
members all said they were
frustrated they had not re-
ceived any information from
the district regarding the po-
tential of a lottery.
Several of the parents said
the notice given for the lottery
system was too short, and
they had already enrolled
their children at private
schools.
Clarification
White released a timeline
of when the lottery would
take place for the 2008-09


school year.
Parents are to have their
children tested for "full-time
gifted" status by April 9, 2008.
Once the children meet the
criteria for full-time gifted,
parents should have their
child's school of choice form
to the district by April 25,
2008.
White said the lottery does
not apply to high school stu-
dents because there is no full-
time gifted equivalent else-
where in the district.
The lottery only affects
grades two-eight, White said.
If a student doesn't make it
into Pine View, the district is

BACK IN TIME


WORRELL APARTMENTS, 1920s


Good news and bad news
share the same coin.
On the "heads" side, the
weather has been great this
year and no hurricane has
threatened Florida.
On the "tails" side, drought
remains so severe that tropical
drenchings are needed in ev-
ery Southern state, including
our own.
But let's count blessings
today that resulted from the
lack of hurricanes. We're now
told the quiet season meant
Florida crabs had ideal breed-
ing conditions. Crab season
holds special promise. Maybe
this year's claws won't look like
they were ripped off a fiddler
crab.
Pass the butter.

Eagles and airplanes don't mix at airport


[ 4 !i

., ...... A- -

SUN PHOTO BY SUSAN CAIRO
A family of eagles has lived in these two towers at the Venice
Municipal Airport for four years.


When reviewing all aspects of the airport expan-
sion, wildlife on airport property may deserve
some serious consideration.


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

Watching soaring eagles is
one of the lesser-known at-
tractions at the Venice airport.
Early mornings at the Cockpit
Cafe, regulars looked forward
to catching a glimpses of two
bald eagles nesting in two
separate airport towers.
In August a tragedy occ-
urred. One of the bald eagles
was found injured on the run-
way. The bird was immediate-
ly taken to the Wildlife Center
of Venice, which determined
that its injuries were severe.


"The eagle was hit by a
plane and animal services
was told to bring it to us," said
Kevin Barton, director.
After determining the
bird's injuries were extensive,
it was later sent to a veterinar-
ian and euthanized.
"I have seen eagles hit by
everything," Barton said, "bo-
ats, cars, golf balls and fishing
lines, but to my recollection,
not planes."
The actual cause of death
remains uncertain.
"We had a report that there
was an injured bird," said
Fred Watts, airport manager,


"but there were no witnesses."
Watts said that since he did
not have any verifiable infor-
mation that the eagle was hit
by an aircraft, it was not
reported to the Federal Av-
iation Administration.
"If we had this informa-
tion, it would have been
reported," he said.
Eagles return
Currently there are two
eagles again living in the two
towers at the Venice airport.
"Eagles do mate for life,"
Barton said, "but much like
people, after a period of time
they often find another mate."
"I didn't see them for two
months and they returned on
Sept. 11," said Jarda Horn-
acek, cafe owner.


Not all of his customers
were happy to see them re-
turn.
"When a bird gets hit by a
plane, it can do a lot of dam-
age to the plane," said Fred
Hawkins, a pilot.
Nick Carlucci, president of
Venice Aviation Society Inc.,
thinks that wildlife and planes
just don't mix well.
"There is a danger of colli-
sion with planes and birds,"
he said.
Carlucci said that most col-
lisions occur at low altitudes.
Scrub jays and eagles fly at
this low altitude.
"Planes and birds are a
lethal mixture," Carlucci said.

Children's health care fight ongoing in Sarasota County schools


BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS

Some Sarasota County
school children will feel the
effects of a political show-
down currently playing out in
Washington, D.C., over a pro-
posed $5 billion annual in-
crease in the federally subsi-
dized State Child Health In-
surance Program known as
SCHIP
There are currently about
3,400 local recipients of low-
cost Florida KidCare health
insurance, a number that could
jump to more than 4,000 if the
U.S. Senate and House of Re-
presentatives override last
week's veto of a funding in-
crease by President George W.
Bush.
"You can roughly estimate
an increase of about one-sixth
in the number of recipients if
the proposed increase is final-
ly adopted," said Rose Neff,
the state program's executive
director. "The final numbers
- are tough to project because
Congress changes its formu-
las."
Slim chance
Congress provides a 70-
percent subsidy for children's
health insurance through co-
operating states that agree to
pay a 30-percent match. Flor-
ida is one of them. It provides
insurance for 226,000 chil-
dren whose families have pre-
viously qualified.
According to Neff, the annu-
al federal allocation for Florida
KidCare coverage would jump
to more than $360 million if
Congress prevails over the
White House, although the like-
lihood appears slim in the
House of Representatives.
"Even if the increase isn't
approved, our program will be
funded at its current level un-
der a continuing resolution,"

Neff said. "Because Florida co-
ntinues to grow, we get a little
more money each year. We
received $296 million from
Congress last year."
The SCHIP program cur-
rently provides $25 billion a
year for children' health insur-
ance, number Congress wants
ratcheted up to $60 billion over
five years with a series of $7 bil-
lion annual increases. Bush has
proposed a total increase of $5
billion over five years.
Rule changes
Whatever the outcome, the
effect will trickle down th-
rough Tallahassee to Sarasota
County and the local children
who receive low-cost coverage
through a program that has
become a political football for
some state politicians to kick
around.
In 2004, there were almost
6,000 Sarasota County children
who received Florida KidCare
coverage, a number that pl-
unged to less than 3,200 in 2006
after the state Legislature tight-
ened requirements and made
enrollment a far more formida-
ble task
What drove many Florida
KidCare families out of the
program were rule changes
approved by state lawmakers
that limited enrollment to one-
month periods only twice a
year, and required three forms
of annual household income
information to qualify.
There are currently more
than 3,400 county children in
the program, but a special cou-


nty contribution for some non-
documented families was sac-
rificed during recent budget
cuts. As a result, about 75 chil-
dren will be dropped and no
longer receive coverage.
Florida KidCare bills partici-
pating families either $15 or


$20 a month for its insurance
programs. The most popular is
Healthy Kids for children age 5
through 18, while the others are
MediKids for children 1 th-
rough 4 and Children's Medical
Services for kids with special
needs.


MORE INFORMATION
Area families who want to apply for Healthy Kids insurance
or one of the other KidCare programs can call Florida
KidCare toll free at (888) 540-5437; go to its Web site,

Sarasota ponders veterans tax break


Stormwater plans may lure business


BY JOHN HAUGHEY
STAFF WRITER

Sarasota County home-
owners who have served on
active military duty in Iraq
and Afghanistan anytime in
the last five years could
receive a $1,500 property tax
exemption starting in 2008.
Sarasota County commis-
sioners agreed to consider the
exemption when they review
the fiscal year 2009 budget
next summer.
Commissioner Paul Mer-
cier introduced the proposed
exemption, calling it an ap-
propriate way for the county
to demonstrate its gratitude
to local veterans.
County Chief Financial
Planning Officer Jeffrey Se-
ward estimates the exemp-
tion, if approved, would cost
the county anywhere from
$32,145, to $126,581, in re-
duced annual property tax


revenues.
Those figures, provided by
the county's Veteran's Services
office, indicate anywhere
from 20 to 85 Sarasota County
homeowners have served, or
are serving, in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Manatee, Hillsborough,
Hernando, Marion and
Charlotte counties are among
regional governments that
have granted active duty mili-
tary homeowners serving in
combat zones a $1,500 prop-
erty tax exemption.
Sarasota County commis-
sioners have pondered the
exemption since 2006, but
never gone beyond prelimi-
nary analysis.
Commissioner Shannon
Staub suggested broadening
the county's appreciation for
Iraq/Afghanistan veterans to
offering a stipend, or assis-
tance of some type, to.the vast
majority of returning service-


men and servicewomen -
renters.
Chair Nora Patterson was
the lone dissenter to moving
Mercier's proposal forward,
maintaining her consistent
reluctance to approve proper-
ty tax exemptions while cou-
nty revenues are declining.
"I understand the need,
but that's not the only issue of
tax forgiveness that is before
us," she said, adding she may
"change my mind once I see
the numbers."
Staub said Mercier's initia-
tive, proposed less than two
weeks into fiscal year 2008,
maybe premature since com-
missioners won't be present-
ed with fiscal year 2009 bud-
get proposals until summer.
Not so, Mercier said.
"It'll be budget time before
you know it," he said.

A plan recently unveiled to
the Community Redevelop-
ment Agency advisory board
outlined two vital additions to
Englewood's revitalization and
growth: stormwater vaults and
a creative plan to help finance
the $6 million project.
"We're going to do two
vaults," said County Commis-
sioner Shannon Staub.
"One very large one under
the parking area that we al-
ready own near the public
bathrooms between Ce-
dar and Elm streets and a
second, smaller vault, which
will go just south of Green
Street, along South Mango."
The vaults, according to
Spencer Anderson, surface
water program manager, for
the county, were designed to
provide the most efficient
means of gathering, process-


ing and pumping stormwater
into Lemon Bay without
infringing on existing infra-
structure.
"The larger vault on Cedar
Street is shaped like an 'L,' "
Anderson said. "That's about
7,000 cubic yards, which
could contain and process-
about 1.4 million gallons of
stormwater."
The smaller vault will han-
dle some 300,000 additional
gallons, Anderson said.
Staub said this project is
set to go quickly.
"Permitting and design
should be completed by Feb-
ruary of next year," Staub
said. "And I think the con-
struction should be finished
by summer of 2009."
Livelihood
Staub said an inventive
way of helping to finance this
expensive project was de-
vised in which incoming de-


velopers would pay a fee
based on "equivalent storm-
water units." One ESU in-
corporating about 20,400
square feet of property -
equals about $22,000, Staub
said.
"An ESU is equal to the
stormwater that would come
off a single-family residence,"
Staub said, adding that the
amounts would vary, based
on the size of a given lot.
"It's a one-time fee," Staub
said. "But we've come up with
a plan to help new businesses
avoid paying it, at least in the
beginning.
According to the funding
plan, development within
three years would result in a
20 percent payment; four
years, 40 percent; five years,
60 percent; six years, 80 per-
cent. Only at the seven-year
point and beyond would de-
velopers pay the full amount.

J s In no' l`
instance is
the old dictum "an
ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"
more applicable than
when it involves the body.
After all, if you could take a few
simple, preventive steps to avoid
chronic pain, you would, wouldn't
you? If so, chiropractic invites you to
adopt a preventive approach to disease
in favor of the crisis-oriented approach
to health that is so often practiced. A
healthfully maintained body is not
only less likely to slip into acute
disease and chronic conditions, it
will also contribute to a healthy
lifestyle and outlook. Chiropractic
believes that true health
encompasses more than merely
being symptom-free. A well-
balanced, strong, and energetic
body is able to fend off disease
naturally.

enough commercial.
Revised plans move in the
opposite direction, providing
50 acres of commercial space,
and 20 acres of residential
housing, going from 731
housing units to an estimated
200 units.
In doing so, the plan sacri-
fices a 6-acre park with ponds
with interconnected walk-
ways and bike paths.
In its place is a super store
with almost 2,500 parking
spaces.
While there are two other
Wal-Marts within the greater
Venice area one in Osprey
and one on U.S. 41 at Jaca-
randa Boulevard it would
be the first super store built
within city limits.
Thus, the discussion of
approving plans that would
result in the coming of a large
retailer, like Home Depot or
Target or Wal-Mart, is new for
planning commission mem-
bers.
The significance of the
decision facing them was pal-
pable.
Staff had been reviewing
the new site plans since July
when it was submitted -
three months after council
approved special exemptions
on height and density for a
proposed "village" with mix-
ed-use zoning.
Vocalized
That change in plans was
criticized by some as mislead-
ing to the public.
Resident Donna Boyer said
no input was solicited for the
new site plan.
"The new plan was for a
village concept," she said,
give that some consideration.
"By putting up a regional
super center we will never
become a neighborhood."
Like many from the Ve-
netian Golf & River Club,
Richard Nazarene was con-
cerned with mounting traffic
congestion. He wants road
infrastructure addressed first.
He's concerned with emer-
gency access since Laurel


REPORT from Page 1A
"I think Bell's report will all
add up to how economically
viable this place is," said
Carter Canada.
Currently, due to issues
regarding the last election,
there is no residents council.
Canada predicts that the
report will come to the con-
clusion that the VHA isn't eco-
nomically viable. Whether
that means the VHA will be
closed down is up to the city.
Canada said the city wants
the property the VHA sits on,
and he believes HUD is trying
to do what is best for the resi-

Road ends just past the
Venetian Golf & River Club.
"Let's get the road im-
proved so we're not trapped
there," he said. ,
To address that concern,
Miller's new plan calls for a
four-lane road that would be
privately funded with $2 mil-
lion from Miller and Wal-
Mart.
And impact fees would
jump to $3.8 million.
Where the original site
plan called for adding a few
turning lanes into The
Renaissance, the new plan
widens the road the entire
length of the project up to the
Laurel exit at 1-75.
Maxine Ozga, a retired
school administrator from
New York who also lives in
River Club said she was there
to support the development.
"We were promised by
WCI (developers of the club)
years ago the whole area
would be lined with shops (by
now). I want it to happen
tomorrow. I'm sick of wait-
ing," Ozga said.
Postponed
Jeff Boone, representing
Waterford Companies, said
the changes were driven by


economic necessity, and
types of use were consistent
with existing code that would
benefit economic develop-
ment in the area.
"The proposal before you
follows the rules in every
way," said Boone.
"The successful centers
have a large retailer) that
attracts traffic and customers
"and they become customers
for smaller businesses in the
surrounding area. It's really
that simple."
Retired attorney Marshall
Happer, speaking on behalf of
some residents of the
Venetian Golf & River Club,
introduced an analysis writ-
ten just last week by Sarasota
County officials. He said the
letter contradicts what's call-
ed for in the joint planning
agreement.
He provided additional
documentation he said
would prove his case.
Faced with the new evi-
dence that city attorney Bob
Anderson said the commis-
sion must consider, they
agreed to continue the site
plan petition until its next
meeting, with a cutoff date for
any additional material to be
submitted 10 days prior to the

Canada cited a 2004 engi-

the VHA suggesting that only
$1.3 million is needed to
rehabilitate the 36-year-old
buildings. The VHA later said
that it would cost more than
$7 million to rehabilitate the
50 units, compared to $11.3
million to demolish and re-

"Most of what I heard rais-

Hardy did say he would

OUR VIEW



Property tax reform needs a reality check


We have an unbelievably simple
approach for making Florida's
convoluted property tax simple
and fair.
We are confident that if introduced on
the floor of the Legislature, it would not get
a single vote.
It is too simple. It is too fair. It would curry
favor with no one. Obviously, it's a non-
starter.
The plan is this:
1. Assess all property, residential and
commercial, at its true market value that
is, what it would sell for if it were put on the
market.
2. Collect taxes on that value.
3. That's all.
We could call this the "reality check"
approach to tax reform.
See, we said it would never fly.
Call us skeptics, but we are convinced
that Florida's ad valorem property tax sys-
tem is designed to make every residential
property owner feel that he or she is paying
less than he or she ought to.
And that's correct.
The "super-exemption" scheme a judge
has thrown out would, in our opinion, mag-
nify the inequities and increase the sense of


getting by with something.
We hope the plan now being crafted by
the Legislature will undo some of the dam-
age of the super-exemption proposal and
return a degree of sanity to Florida's ad val-
orem property tax system.
The homestead exemption was intro-
duced to give tax relief to the working poor,
who could afford only the most modest of
housing. It began at $10,000, which used to
buy a starter home, and has since been
raised to $25,000, with higher exemptions
for widows and widowers and, in some
counties, low-income retirees.
While it is a pleasant, feel-good concept,
it ignores the fact that people living in inex-
pensive housing have just as much of a need
for local services schools, police and fire
protection, emergency medical service,
storm drainage, roads as those who pay
the taxes.
It reduces a "pay-for-services-received"
plan to an "ability-to-pay" formula, and that
is not altogether bad. In some counties, the
property values on the tax rolls are so low
that not a single homeowner pays ad val-
orem taxes. Not one.
That means the entire property tax is
paid by owners of commercial property,


right?
Only technically so.
Because the people who live in rental
housing apartments, duplexes, single-
family rental homes, rental mobile homes
- don't own it, they're not entitled to a
homestead exemption. So, people who live
in rental housing, many of whom do so
because they cannot afford the down pay-
ment to buy their own homes, pay ad val-
orem taxes.
No, they don't receive tax bills, but their
landlords do, and it is a safe bet that they
don't pay the bills from their children's col-
lege funds.
Perhaps the greatest flaw in the property
tax system is that by law, homestead proper-
ty is on the tax roll at only 80 percent of its
true market value. This system was created
because for years, many of Florida's tax
assessors (now more accurately called prop-
erty appraisers) routinely undervalued resi-
dential property to curry favor with the vot-
ers.
The Legislature, finally passed a law
allowing property appraisers to undervalue
homes, but only by 20 percent. To us, that's
like being a little bit pregnant.
Presumably this built-in undervaluation


heads off quibbling over the precise value,
discounts for cash purchases, net after bro-
kerage fees and such, and there is some
merit in that.
And the state provides oversight over
each property appraiser's valuations to
ensure that the values on the tax roll really
are within the 20-percent allowance.
Yes, there is probably a need to provide
relief in some of the weird situations that
arise. For exatnple, when condominium
developers start buying up beach-front
property next to modest beachfront homes,
the value of the homes skyrockets without
regard to the fact that the income of the
owners has not increased, and the new
value of their homes can only be realized by
selling them.
There are less-dramatic results through-
out Florida resulting from the now-defunct
real estate boom of the past few years.
The "Save Our Homes" amendment pro-
vides welcome relief in many such cases. So
we acknowledge that our simple solution to
tax equity would need some tweaking.
But we still believe that establishing legit-
imate values on the tax rolls and basing
taxes on those values is the logical place to
begin.


These cuts hurt


BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST


This year when the Rotary
Futures Program puts on the
Senior Awards night at Venice
High School, giving scholar-
ships to deserving students,
likely there will be fewer to
give out than in the past.
One of the many unin-
tended consequences of the
state-mandated property tax
cuts by local governments is
that nonprofit organizations
are taking a big hit.
First of all, they are getting
fewer contributions. People
who have always participated
in fundraising events have
pulled out or cut back. Our
company is no different.
This weekend when you
attend the Sun Fiesta, which
the wonderful Women's Ser-
toma Club puts on for all of
us, it will be starting in the
hole. This year the club will
have to pay the city police
overtime in the thousands of
dollars.
Isn't that interesting our
nonprofits essentially paying
for government personnel.
So the effect is the club will
likely give fewer scholarships
or reduce the help it gives to
one of a lot of great organiza-
tions it contributes to each
year. It also had to increase its
insurance.
Women's Sertoma isn't
alone. Many organizations
that used to receive money
from the city no longer are
getting that help.
Little League was. one;
another is the Christmas Boat
Parade, which gives money to
youth boating, scholarships
and education organizations.
This year they will be pay-
ing police and firemen over-
time as well as not getting city
funds to help put it on. This is
coupled with fewer sponsors.
In the boat parade example
either the grant recipients will
receive less, they will cut out
the scholarships or there will
be several fewer grantees,
The city does not charge,
the Christmas street parade
but instead covers those costs
mainly because they sponsor
it. So I guess the secret is to
get the city to sponsor all of
the events.
The worst is yet to come, so
administrators have told me,


It sure makes trying to do
good harder and harder. Let's
look at it as a, challenge. Buy
more this weekend at Sun
Fiesta, especially the drinks.

By's Cracck It takes two
kinds of people to make the

and should stay open every

season,
Congrats to Program Man-

this happen.
Please go down and sup-

will want to stay open.

I have not quite figured out
yet what is happening on the
extension of Pinebrook Road.
Some time ago the county
put stakes in the median,
where I assumed trees were to
be planted. Then last week
they dug big holes for what
seemed to be for trees, then
they filled the holes up and
put the stakes back.
Maybe they are just prac-
ticing.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


Cheaper to do, but not to redo


Editor:
Pertaining to the meeting of Sarasota County and Venice on
the subject of roundabouts. I was really dismayed by the reac-
tions of the Venice City Council members. It seems as soon as
the Sarasota County Commissioners apologized to the Venice
council, all the hype against the roundabout proposal was for-
gotten.
After listening to Mr. Wallwork spin his praise of round-
abouts, he seemed to mesmerize the county and city officials.
I think a roundabout will create a very dangerous situation, as
I have had some experience with them as a driver.
As far as the supposed saving compared to the normal inter-
section proposal, I say, what if the roundabout fails? Where
would the saving be when you would have to redo it to the
intersection alternative?
I hope our county and city officials study and research this
proposal, as I would hate to see a disaster of accidents, espe-
cially during our in-season influx of elderly drivers who would
not be used to the roundabout.
I see nothing wrong with the intersection at Center Road
and Jacaranda recently completed, which is very similar to the
intersection in question.
One last thought: If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

More questions
about roundabout

Editor:
A read of the roundabout
article raises several issues:
1. A roundabout at the
Venice Avenue/Jacaranda in-
tersection will be two-lanes
wide and thus must accom-
modate two tractor-trailer
trucks side by side. Has any-
one sized this out?
2. A shopping center is
going in on the southwest
corner of this intersection.
The Jacaranda entrance


seems very close to where a
roundabout exit might come.
Will there be a conflict?
3. The right-of-way rules
for a roundabout are not
clear. If traffic in the circle has
right of way, then east/west
traffic will be blocked for min-
utes at a time at morning and
evening rush hours. If traffic
entering the circle has the
right of way, traffic can be
blocked.
4. Has the pattern of traffic
been modeled to show how
vehicles in the right or left
lanes would move? Note that


if two lanes flow thr
on Jacaranda, a vehi
right lane would bi
exit. This would su
traffic and counter
tended purpose.
5. No signal systi
than a red light will
degree of protect
pedestrian or a cycli
you trust your chi
cross with only a flas
low light?
6. The cost/benefi
that must have bE
formed before this
about was propose(
be made available to
lic for review.
7. Has the county
police agencies been
ed?
Hope these point
used in our city/cou
sultations.

Simple solution for our elections: Balloting by mail


STEPHEN BAUMANN
GUEST COLUMNIST


As any physicist, engineer
or philosopher knows, there is
beauty in simplicity.
The fewer working parts, the
better. Simplicity is elegance.
This also holds true for vot-
ing systems.
Sarasota County Supervis-
or of Elections Kathy Dent -
are we still required to refer to
her as the "beleaguered" su-
pervisor of elections? un-
veiled her new Accu-vote op-
tical scan system to a home-
owners association meeting


last week, and I can say this
about it: It is not elegant. It
has many movable parts,
which means there are plenty
of things that can go wrong.
And one rule of science,
war and election-supervising
is: If something can go wrong,
it probably will.
As Dent put it when asked
a question: "It's not necessari-
ly the best. It's not a bad sys-
tem. There's no such thing as
a perfect system."
The reason Dent is rou-
tinely referred' to as "belea-
guered" in the press is the
snafu in the November 2006
election that called into ques-
tion the accuracy of the coun-
ty's touch-screen voting ma-
chines. A countywide referen-
dum also called for replace-
ment of the touch-screen sys-
tem with one that left a paper
trail that could be used in the
case of recounts, and the 2006
mess-up only confirmed sus-
picions.
Next year, all of Florida will


use a paper-based system.
Sarasota gets to try out the
new one next month.
There certainly will be
plenty of paper, with each
sheet costing 25 cents. That's
only a portion of the costs in-
volved. The system itself cost
$3 million, and there are
$500,000 in ancillary costs,
Dent said. There will be new
voting booths and bags to
hold the ballots.
By law, each ballot will
need to be stored for 22
months. Polk County, which
has about 20,000 more regis-
tered voters than Sarasota,
had 30 tons of paper after the
November 2006 election.
Dent figures she needs stor-
age space for 80-100 tons with
all the elections coming.
In what I interpreted to be
a stoic attitude, she called
that "another challenge."
And then there's the voting
process itself.
Each sheet front and
back to save paper costs -


lists the candidates. Each has
a little oval next to the name;
you fill in the oval for your
selection, completely. Do not
check, X or circle, she said. It's
best to use the special mark-
ers provided.
When you're done, you will
put your ballot into a special
paper sleeve and carry it to a
poll worker, who will take it
out of the sleeve and feed it
into the optical scanning
machine. If there is an "over-
vote" you marked twice in
one race or made a stray mark
on a page the machine will
reject it. Then, you can review
it and, if need be, go back and
fill out another ballot. The law
says you can use up to three.
If there are spots left blank,
the machine alerts the poll
worker, who can ask if that's
what you wanted. If not, you
can go back and fill in the
blanks.
Dent said there's no doubt
the process will take longer.
Maybe our future elections


will move along smoothly. At
least we'll be able to recount,
given the need, although that
easily could bring a repeat of
the nightmare of 2000.
Dent sent county residents
a mailer last week with the
headline, "The ultimate vot-
ing machine ... You." And she
told those at the meeting,
"There's a certain amount of
voter responsibility (in any
election). There shouldn't be
much problem if voters do
their job and we do our job."
I'm not confident Still, this
system is used in many other
places in this country, so oth-
ers have learned to live with it
Here's another suggestiofi,
from Charlotte County Su-
pervisor of Elections Mac
Horton: mail-in voting.
Already, he said, a good
one-third of the ballots cast in
Charlotte are mailed in. They
are called absentee ballots. It
works well.
It's also far cheaper. Hor-
ton has a summary sheet that


shows election costs would
be cut in half.
It's easy and would likely
increase voter participation.
No need to make a trip to the
polls. Fill out your ballot at
home and send it in at your
convenience.
There are security con-
cerns, but remember, Horton
said, one-third of the voters
already do it.
The -mail-in system has
been successful in Oregon.
As Oregon Secretary of
State Bill Bradbury wrote two
years ago, "The answer to the
nation's voting anxiety ... is a
low-tech, low-cost, reliable
and convenient system that
makes it easier to vote and
easier to count votes."
Horton tried to rally sup-
port for a vote-by-mail sys-
tem in the past year, and it got
little traction in Tallahassee.
But it should only take one
more election embarrass-
ment until we take this simple
option seriously.

Controlled burns scheduled


WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17, 2007



Shut down


FROM SWIFTMUD

The Southwest Florida Wa-
ter Management District will
be conducting controlled,
prescribed bums during the
remaining days of October
and November for two dis-
trict sites in Sarasota County:
the Schewe Ranch and the
Deer Prairie Creek properties.
Both tracts are located to
the north and south of 1-75
between mile markers 186
and 190, with U.S. 41 as its far
southern boundary. The
property is located between
the Myakka River and North
Port and Warm Mineral
Springs.
There is the potential to
burn more than 750 acres of
land in small, manageable
units.


Controlled burns of partic-
ular interest in this area in-
clude burning near North
Port and Warm Mineral
Springs because these burns
will be taking place close to
homes and the interstate.
These burns are done to pro-
tect the residential areas from
wildfires or other human-
related fires that may get out
of control.
The scheduled, managed
bums are a part of routine
maintenance of lands man-
aged -by the district.
According to District Land
Manager Kevin W. Love,
burns are implemented to
mimic natural fire cycles
under a controlled situation.
The object is to avoid uncon-
trolled wildfires and enhance
the area's natural conditions


by maintaining the ecological
and wildlife habitat values.
Prescribed bums are only
conducted when weather
conditions allow the objec-
tives to be met while mini-
mizing impacts to the public.
Every effort will be made to
ensure that smoke will not
affect homes or highways.
However, vehicle operators
should exercise caution in
case smoke leads to reduced
visibility on the area's roads or
highways.
The district owns and man-
ages approximately 350,000
acres of environmentally sen-
sitive lands for water resource
and natural systems protec-
tion.
For more information, call
the district at (352) 796-7211
or (800) 423-1476.

MCC board defines


president requirements


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER

The Manatee Community
College Board of Trustees
came one step closer to find-
ing a replacement for retiring
president Sarah Pappas Mon-
day.
At their board meeting, the
trustees agreed on a profile to.
use when advertising the
position.
All the trustees agreed ap-
plicants must have a doctor-
ate to be a potential candi-
date.
"I think to bring in some-
one who doesn't have a Ph.D.
will undermine their (the vice
presidents with doctorates)
leadership," trustee Kelvin
Lumpkin said.


"We need somebody with
a doctorate," trustee Chris-
tine Robinson said. "The rela-
tionship with the faculty
could be more bumpy than
the rest."
'"As a matter of respect, we
should require a doctorate
from the get-go," Board Chair
Steve Hamer said.
In addition to a doctorate,
the trustees will require appli-
cants have at least five years
of senior-level leadership in
higher education.
Jeff Hockaday, the consul-
tant for the process, said the
required elements on the
profile were critical because
once the position is adver-
tised, no changes can be
made unless it's readvertised.
Otherwise, the trustees would


be breaking the law.
Many of the trustees said
they based their require-
ments on what they heard at
the recent community for-
ums held at the Venice and
Bradenton campuses.
The position will be adver-
tised in part in the Oct. 26 edi-
tion of the Chronicle of High-
er Education.
The complete advertise-
ment is due to be released
nationally in publications in
November.
People can follow the pres-
idential search by visiting
www.mccfl.edu and clicking
on presidential search.
The next board of trustees
meeting will be Nov. 21 at the
Venice campus.'

Golf: Girls rule, boys almost rule district


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Both the boys and girls golf
teams at Venice High School
extended their seasons Mon-
day by placing in the top three
in their respective district
tournaments.
The girls edged Lakewopd
Ranch High School by four
strokes to win the district at
the Manatee County Golf
Course while the boys fought
strong winds at Kingsway
Country Club to take second
place in the district behind
Riverview High School. Both
teams will advance to the
regional tournaments Mon-
day.
Leading the girls once
again were Crystal Smith and
Casey Kennedy. Smith shot a
one-under-par 71 on the day
to place first in the district
tournament. Finishing a close
second and taking the district
runner-up was Kennedy with
a one-over-par 73.
"It was really windy but I
think I played it pretty well,"
Smith said. "I just tried to
keep my head in the game."
She kept her head in it and
played just well enough to
beat her friend and teammate
for the first time this season.
"I'm happy for her, really
happy for her," Kennedy said.


"The wind was fine, it didn't
really bother me. It was just
my wedge game. I couldn't get
anything close at all so I didn't
have really any birdie chanc-
es. The only birdies I made
were like 50 feet so that was
my problem today."
Some problem. Kennedy
sank a few routine 50-foot
birdie putts as she and Smith
carried the team to yet anoth-
er district championship.
"We're excited," girls coach
Wayne Robertson said. "That
was our goal from the begin-
ning of the season. The girls
have won the district the last
couple of years so we wanted
to follow it up again. We didn't
know how it was going to play
out but Casey and Crystal
played very solid and Gina
(Cassan) and Seirra (Rhodus)
did what they needed to do. It
was a little closer than we
wanted it to be but, all in all,
we had the total we needed to
win."
In boys action, the wind
gave everybody fits. During
the week leading up to the
district tournament, Venice
had six golfers shoot in the
30s at least once and didn't
have a single golfer shoot
higher than a 42 through nine
holes. Extrapolate that over 18
holes, and the. Indians
shouldn't shoot any higher


than an 84 and most players
should be in the 70s range.
Instead, Billy Stevens was
the only Venice player to
break 80 with a six-over-par
78. Spencer Dunford was on
the cusp, shooting an 80.
Despite the wind, those two
golfers each had a birdie that
wowed the crowd.
Dunford was on the green
in two on the par-five 10th.
He two-putted for his lone
birdie of the day. Stevens
came into No. 9 at even par.
He made the turn at minus
one after sinking a 35-foot
putt that bounced off the
back of the cup and fell in.
Rounding out the scoring
for the boys was Eric Dob-
itsch with an 82 and Erick
Bennett with an 83.
"There were some tough
players out here today and it's
obvious by the scores," stand-
in boys coach and Venice
Athletic Director Larry Sand-
burg said. "I don't know them
that well but I'm proud of
them and I know (boys coach)
Marty (Tarala) will be real
proud of them, too."
Tarala missed the district
tournament as he was out of
town over the weekend for his
son's wedding.
The top three teams in
each district tournament
qualify for the regional tour-

Club. He would finish the day with an 80 as the Indians took second at the district championship tourna-
ment.


nament. By placing first and
second, both the boys and
girls teams will compete in
next week's regional tourna-
ments.
The boys will be hosting
this year's region five champi-
onship tournament at Jaca-


randaWest Country Club.
The tournament will take
place Monday at 8:30 a.m.
The girls will travel to Royal
Palm Country Club for their
regional championship Mon-
day at noon. The top-two
teams and the top-two indi-


viduals not on those teams
from each tournament will
advance to the state tourna-
ment at the end of this
month.

Sims takes four firsts at

Crow's Nest Regatta


BY JABBO GORDON
SPECIAL TO THE SUN

Jackie Sims sailed her Sun-
fish to four firsts out of eight
r aps to capture Venice Youth
Boating Association's Ports-
mouth division at the 31st-
annual Crow's Nest Regatta
on Roberts Bay Oct. 6.
The Portsmouth division
comprises older and more
experienced sailors who have
either aged out or sized out of
the. International Optimist
Dinghy, mainstay oftheVYBA
fleet Skippers can race virtu-
ally any class boat as long as it
has a Portsmouth rating.
Thus, Sunfish, for example,
can compete with Laser class
vessels on a corrected time
basis.
And that is what Sims did.
Though she did'not win all of
the races boat for boat, she
was close enough that her
corrected time was better
than other boats that did have
a faster rating. She also scored
a second and two thirds and
was allowed to throw out a
fourth place finish.
Michelle Thomas skip-
pered her Laser Radial class
boat to second place while
Ben Mohney took third in a
420 class boat. Katie Paolillo
crewed for Mohney in the
only two-person boat in the


six-boat fleet. Laser Radial
skipper Bryan White had the
same point total as the
Mohney-Paolillo team, but
finished fourth as the result of
a tie-breaker.
Cara Patete grabbed four
firsts and three thirds to win
the Red White and Blue Opti
class. Tyler Thorpe placed
second and Paul Kreider
came in third in the nine-boat
division, the largest of the
regatta.
In the Ernest Green fleet,
primarily for first year com-
petitors, Stephan VerHulst
captured top honors with a
pair of aces. Aubrey Kha-
chetoorian (cq) garnered sec-
ond place after taking a tie-
breaker over Jonathan James.
Both had finished with 20
points.
Officials held four races in
the morning, broke for lunch
and had four more races in
the afternoon. The course
was a trapezoid sailed in
moderate, easterly breezes.
VYBA is sending 10 sailors,
six from the Green fleet, to the
Edison Sailing Center's annu-
al River Romp, which will be
held on Fort Myers Beach Oct.
20-21.
Then there will be the
Naples Cup Regatta, also on
the Gulf of Mexico on Vet-
eran's Day weekend.


Venice vanquishes Buchholz for third time


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Buchholz High School vol-
leyball coach Jeff Reavis has a
reason to be upset.
His Bobcats fell short in
games three and four as
Buchholz lost to Venice High
School Tuesday for the third
and final time this season.
What Reavis doesn't have is a
reason why he left the gymna-
sium without shaking hands
with any of the Venice players
or coaches.
After a hard-fought game
in which multiple calls were
argued by both coaches,
Reavis got himself a drink of
water and left the building
without a word to any of his
players or assistant coaches.
His unsportsmanlike behav-
ior almost overshadowed a
great volleyball game be-
tween two great volleyball
teams.
The Indians defeated
Buchholz in four games 21-
25, 25-23, 25-13, 25-18.
"It was just a continuation
of the last time we played,"
Venice Head Coach Brian
Wheatley said. "It was a bat-
tie."
Casey Taylor led the In-
dians with 15 kills and, fitting-
ly, served up an ace on the last
point of the match to give
Venice the win.
"It felt really good," Taylor


Venice Christian expands athletic program


said. "We just had a really good
pregame, the whole team was
just really focused. The pre-
game was about working to-
gether, so we really focused on
playing as a team and not play-
ing as individuals."
And they didn't play as in-
dividuals. Three Venice play-
ers had at least 10 kills in the
match. In addition to Taylor's
15, Kaylee Ream had 12 and
Dorothy Rahal had 10. Nickie
Halbert finished with 44
assists on the night. Casie
Richards also came up big
with four blocks while the In-
dians racked up 16 team
blocks.
"We don't have the one big
kid that other teams can key
on," Wheatley said. "Nickie
(Halbert) dishes it out all over
the place and kids are swing-
ing for the fences."
The next match for the In-
dians is on the road Thursday
night at Berkeley Preparatory
School in Tampa. They return
home for their final home
match of the season Friday at
5 p.m. against Leon High
School.
Leon is 22-2 and should
provide good competition for
Venice going into the playoffs
next week. Anyone who buys
a football ticket for the game
against Charlotte High School
will be granted free admission
to the senior-night volleyball
match. Fans are encouraged
to come out for this double-
header of Venice athletics.

FROM VENICE
CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Students at Venice Chris-
tian School can now enjoy the
home field advantage.
Several years of planning
and fundraising have resulted
in the completion of Venice
Christian School's new athlet-
ic field. The 250-by-350-foot
field comes complete with a
new irrigation system and
new sod that was allowed to
grow over the summer. This
new field is used for physical
education classes, inter-
scholastic soccer games and
will be the new site for the
annual Victory Run Fund-
raiser.
"Each day that we walk out
to play I continuously praise
God for providing this space,"
physical education teacher
and Athletic Director Ann
Ross said.


Having a ninth and 10th
grade has provided the op-
portunity for VCS to join the
Florida Christian Conference
(FCC) and compete with
other high schools on the
junior varsity level. VCS will
be fielding their first-ever
boys JV basketball team this
year, competing against other
JV teams in the FCC such as
West Florida Christian in
Sarasota, Community School
in Bradenton and many
schools in the Tampa area.
The IV basketball season will
run from November to early
February.
At the middle school level,
VCS participates in the Gulf
Coast League With 12 other
private schools in Sarasota,
Manatee and Charlotte coun-
ties. Interscholastic sports
currently offered at VCS
include boys and girls basket-
ball, boys and girls volleyball,


boys and girls soccer, co-ed
tennis, and co-ed golf. Boys
volleyball is a new sport this
year and will run during the
winter season along with girls
volleyball.
Right now, VCS is in the
middle of basketball season.
The boys are currently 4-3,
while the girls team is 3-4.
Leading scorers for the boys
team are Cedric Jackson and
Tanner Traub. Key rebound-
ers are Brian Hansen and
Jesse Frimmel. For the Girls,
Brooke Shipps, Morgan Perry
and Kristen Pinkerton have
all been leading scorers in
various games. Providing a
strong defense are Ariel
Randol and Tori French. The
next home game is Oct. 18
against St. Martha's. All home
games are played at the
Venice YMCA. Girls play at
4 p.m. and the boys follow at
5 p.m.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE WOMEN'S SERTOMA OF VENICE


The Women's Sertoma team works on the 2007 Sun Fiesta.


Part of the hometown entertainment at the Sun Fiesta is a perfor-
mance by Dance Extreme of Venice.


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

J f music makes the
world go round, the
Sun Fiesta will keep
this town spinning
Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
Oct. 19-22.
The annual event spon-
sored, by the Women's Ser-
toma Club of Venice cele-
brates its 35thyear with every
type of fun and musical enter-
tainment the organization
can dream up.
"The fiesta was originally
created as an event for, the
community before the sea-
sonal folks came back in
November," said Jackie Ken-
nedy, chair of this year's
event. 'It's sort of the last bit
of fun before everything went
crazy.'

Venice

Centennial Park on West
Venice Avenue
Admission: free

Throughout the years funm
has been the keyword for the
Sun Fiesta weekend activities,
though the events keep
changing. If you are looking
for toddlers racing in diapers
or dressed-up pups this year,
you won't find them. The new
agenda for the 2007 event
includes buckets of bubbles,
clowns and a dunk tank that
will quickly cool things off.
"Every year we try to do
something a little different,"
Kennedy said.
The club's goal is to have a
family-oriented festival and
to raise money for the com-
munity.
In keeping with tradition,
some things remain the same
year after year: a delicious
array of food; live music;
interesting arts and crafts; the
now-famous parade; bed
races; and a silent auction. All
these things are in the plans
for this year's festival.
Patty Corona, chair of the
entertainment committee,
said if you like classic '60s and
'70s rock, The Fat Tones will
be performing on Friday
night. Saturday, Big Z & the
Sophistocats will perform
with a big band sound, and


Bandana, a classic Southern
rock group, will play in the
late afternoon on Sunday.
Bandana's appearance on the
final day is also becoming a
tradition.
"Don't worry about the
exact times for the perform-
ers," said Corona. "Just come
early and stay late."

SUN FIESTA
ROAq CLOSURES
Several Venice streets
wil be closed during the
33rd annual Sun Fiesta,
Oct. 18-21.

Some of the side streets

porarily closed before the

Bed races begin at.
around 9 a.m. along West
Venice Avenue between
Nassau Street and'Noko-
mis Avenue. The. Sun Fi-
esta Parade starts at

nade to Nokomis Avenue,
down Nokomis to the area
of the Venice Community
Center.
The west parking lot at
Centennial Park between
West Venice and West
Tampa avenues will close
beginning Thursday eve-
ning, Oct. 18, and will re-
open on Monday, Oct. 22
by noon. The Bank of
America ATM drive-through
.will not be affected.

in the Gazebo
A silent and Chinese auc-
tion will be held in the Ga-
zebo.
"We have baskets of cheer,
bouquets from florists; both
the YMCA and Lifestyles have
donated passes and lots of gift
certificates," said Dora Banes,
auction chairman.


Jackie Kennedy, 2007 Sun Fiesta chair, displays T-shirts to be sold as
a fundraiser at the event.


Banes's committee has
been collecting items from
local merchants for three
months. Eight tables will be
on view in the Gazebo.
"You don't have to be here
to win," she said.
Winners will be contacted
and given a location to pick
up their gifts if they are not
present at "4 p.m. Sunday
when the items are raffled off.
Cooler of cheer
A large cooler on wheels
will be rolling around Cen-
tennial Park and $5 raffle tick-
ets will be sold during the
weekend. Members donated
many of the bottles in the
cooler and others were given
from local liquor stores.,
"We are going to raffle off a
huge cooler of cheer," Sheila
Kaufer said.
Scholarship fund
Women's Sertoma took
over the Sun Fiesta in 1994. It
is the group's main fundraiser
of the year.
Funding was a problem in
the early days of the club's
sponsorship.
"They had contracted with
an expensive. entertainer and
they were $20,000 in the
hole," Kennedy said.
They now use only local
entertainment and keep a re-
serve so that it won't happen
again, she said.
Last year's Sun Fiesta raised
almost $40,000. Organizations
such as Habitat for Humanity,
the Sertoma Club of Venice's
speech clinic, the Boys & Girls
Club, Rotary Futures and 24
others benefited. Individuals
and families in need were also
given assistance.
The Sun Fiesta is a good
time to enjoy some old-fash-
ioned family fun. It is one of
Venice's most beloved events
and hometown living at its
best

And now


... 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.
Here are some events that
happened around Ecineville
this week that weren't big
news, but certainly news you
should know.
An 18-wheel tanker
truck filled with Silly Putty
play dough overturned Mon-
day, dumping 6,000 gallons
of Silly Putty play dough
onto Alcee Drive East. The
dough oozed down the
street, covering everything in
its path until it was stopped
when the, Ecineville De-
partment of Public Works
laid out 300; linear feet of


serious books end to end,
which stopped the Silly Putty
play dough from oozing onto
U.S. 14.
Another 530 birds have
left the Ecineville area. The
birds cited overdevelop-
ment, increased traffic and
the lack of grouper as the
reasons for their move to
Merterd County, Kansas.
An avid fan of ANNFE
called to say he got a Cana-
dian dime when he was
given change at Drummel's
Ice Cream Shop. This is the
first physical evidence this
year that the alien biological
entities known as Canadians
may already have arrived in
the area. Richa County Em-
ergency Action Adminis-
tration has put their alien
spotters on yellow alert and


sent them to their fail-safe
points. i
Three monks from New
York City are in town to per-
form in the Ecineville Tiny
Theatre's production of "A
Funny Thing Happened on
the way to the Monastery."
The play opens Friday, Oct..
19, 8 p.m. For information
and tickets, call 555-2309. The


monks, nationally known
small-theater actors, will be
leading a community chant
Friday at noon at Bi-
centennial Park to publicize
the play. Free.
A group of more than 30
teenagers have been going to
the L Mart each day, staring
at the building, running up
to it touching it and then
running off into the woods
behind the building.
"We first noticed it a week
ago when we saw these kids
hanging around. They are
not causing any harm or
doing any damage," said L
Mart Manager Lilly Lou
Loops.
Loops has contacted the
police. Ecineville Police did a
stakeout Sunday and did
witness the group run up to


and touch the building. Ac-
cording to the police report,
four officers immediately
pursued the teenagers into
the woods but, according to
the same report, "we were
right behind them, but as
soon as they ran into the
trees, it was as if they disap-
peared into thin air."
Free toast at Yensen's
again this week.
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, whether it's witty,
satirical, silly or just down-
right fun, you'll find it here in
Ecineville.

According to National
Geographic magazine, the
United States annually con-
sumes 27 gallons of bottled
water per capital. This
appears to be a real growth
industry as global demand,
for bottled water has incre-
ased from 28 billion to 47 bil-
lion gallons in the past seven
years.
Here's the rub. By one esti-

mate, U.S. drinkers consume
60 million bottles of water a
day. Consider the en-
vironmental costs green-
house gases released to man-
ufacture and ship these bot-
tles and raw material used.
If that doesn't concernyou,
then consider a 16-ounce
bottle of water' may cost you
anywhere from 50 cents to a
dollar; filling a bottle from th6
tap is about a penny.
The planet it's worth
saving.

Do cheerleaders discriminate?


Time to stroll has changed


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST

OK, I admit it: The main
reason I watch professional
football on Sunday after-
noons is to ogle the very
scantily clad cheerleaders
that take the field on most
Sunday afternoons.
After all, I am a red-blood-
ed American. If you want to
test your eyesight, just watch
the slithering moves of these
lovelies who have more gyra-
tions than an Elvis contest.
Dangling those little pom-
poms, while moving like a cat
in a room full of Rotweillers is
agony, but someone has to do
it. Why, it's enough to make
one ... well, want to watch
more.
Now if you are interested in
observing these beauties, you
will also find them on the bas-
ketball courts of National
Basketball Association teams
and the fields of the NFL But
that, my friends, is just about it.
In my constant pursuit to
define fairness, I did some
research on why professional
cheerleading is limited to
these two sports. I say limited,
as they do not flaunt their
anatomy at anytime during a


volleyball game and/or chess
match. I can tell you that if
they did, even those little
horses would get excited.
Nor do you see these ladies
of pulchritude at NASCAR
races, the Indy 500 or Wim-
bledon, for that matter. The
one sport where you might ex-
pect to see professional cheer-
leading is Major League base-
ball. But I suppose by the time
the game was over, their mas-
cara would be somewhere
other than on their eyes.
Coiffed hair would no longer be
coiffed. So, a lack of team sup-
port from cheerleading in this
sport is understood.
However, further searching
took me to the ice rinks of the
National Hockey League
teams. There I found several
guys who, for myriad reasons,
had as many as most of their
teeth missing. In fact, one
team member told me
through shiny gums that his
team held the record for hav-
ing the largest collective
number of missing teeth. He
seemed quite proud, as he
smiled through his puffy lips.
When I inquired about
why there were no cheerlead-
ers in the NHL, I was told
there were several reasons.
First, the girls don't like the
cold. And besides, he told me,
wearing mukluks on the ice
would make it difficult to
make the slinky jumps that
would attract the attention of
those involved in fist fighting.
Motocross is another sport
where you will not find pro-
fessional cheerleading. In this
instance the distraction caus-
ed by showing more legs than


a centipede could cause acci-
dents of major proportions.
The same would be apro-
pos for NASCAR, although a
driver in a car traveling slight-
ly slower than the speed of
sound would hardly have
time to see much. And be-
sides, at NASCAR races, there
would have to be as many as
30-40 girls. (This, by the way,
is approximately the number
of girls prancing for the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers) rep-
resenting each of the many
cars in the race. In addition,
they would have to be able to
duck all the thrown Bud cans.
One sport that does sur-
prise me, however, is track
and field. In this sport an ath-
lete is lucky to have more
than a well-used water bottle
and tattered sneakers to keep
him or her going. Besides,
they are underpaid, at least
when compared to the mil-
lionaires in football, baseball
and basketball.
Oh yeah, I forgot golf. Now,
I'm guessing here, but I sus-
pect that golfers other than
Tiger Woods, who could buy
Augusta, should he want to -
might find tight britches on a
lady distracting, especially if
she happened to be around
the green. In fact, this would
give a whole new meaning to
handicap.
As for watching the lovelies
at a football game, I don't care
how many innings there are
so long as the free throws
don't interfere with the pom-
poms, I ain't leaving my
recliner.

' South County Tiger Bay luncheon


FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST


Folks do

small


things


in


great ways

People in Venice know the
secret to a terrific community
is its citizens taking charge. In
any given week a check of the
calendar shows people mak-
ing a difference.
Venice Tiger
Bay luncheon
Janis Fawn, Steve Albee,
Ann Roggero, Don Hay and
Ed Taylor led the charge in
organizing the South County
Tiger Bay Group. Nearly 200
applied for charter member-
ship and more than 150
attended the first luncheon.
Speakers Nora Patterson,
Kathy Dent, Kathy Kleinlein
and Jim Todora provided
information to the group
about taxes. Kathy Dent told
the group about her flexible
budget due to the changes in
the new voting system. In
addition to money, her team
works on solving problems
like storing the tons of paper
that will be generated from
this election.
The audience at the lun-
cheon included a who's who of
Venice. Larry Dunldee, Nancy
Detert, Sue Lang, Susan
Hanks, Kathy Turner, Ronnie
Meurs, Kelly Caldwell, Polly
and Ernie Skinner were
among them.
Three cheers to this group
who, Steve Albee said, "Want
to inform and not endorse."
Learning to print
Conrad Schwable used
limestone, acid and grease to
teach an interested group of
artists the techniques used in
printmaking at the Venice Art
Center. The lithograph expert
answered many questions
about his work and showed var-
ious tools of his trade, including
simple ones like paper towels,
cheese cloth and sponges.
TV crew in Venice
Vee Garry-Chiulli and her
TV crew filmed activities at the
Senior Friendship Centers re-
cently. It was fun to watch her
crew of one husband Larry
Chiulli take aim at all the
activities at the center and
shoot artists, writers and dan-
cers for their Oct. 27 show.


Soccer Saturdays
Young families spend Sat-
urdays at the soccer field en-
couraging teams like the
Sharks to do their best. A lot of
grandparents brave the heat
and sun to cheer, for their little
ones.
Recently, Alicia Dalton
brought her 4-month-old son
Luke to the game to watch his
sisters play and dad Alan
Dalton coach.
Sun Fiesta
This weekend spend a lot of
time downtown enjoying the
Sun Fiesta sponsored by the
Women's Sertoma Club of
Venice. The Bed Races start at
9 a.m. and the parade at 10
a.m. on Saturday. Proceeds
benefit the community with
scholarships and grants.
One of our best
The special person of the
week is Vee Garry-Chiulli.
This terrific lady, who is a retired
teacher and college professor,
makes a difference in Venice by
introducing us to all the great
people on her weekly TV show,
"Vee On Venice."


Ed Taylor checks the reservation list at the South County Tiger Bay
luncheon.
