Sense of cents
Are loans in the school board's future?


BY JOHN HAUGHEY
STAFF WRITER


An Oct. 27 workshop to
determine the fate of the
Venice Housing Authority
was supposed to bring the
board closer to a conceptual
plan about its future.
George Barr, vice chair,
began by saying he hoped the
session would enable the
board to find out three things:
where they were going; how
to get there; and where the
seed money will come from
to complete plans for the
VHAs future.
None of these questions
was answered.
In the end, the three-hour
session created more ques-
tions than answers for VHA
board members.
Benjamin Bell, an inde-
pendent consultant from
M.D. Strum, gave the VHA a
preliminary assessment re-
port on Oct. 18 about its
"troubled" status. He recom-
mended the facility be de-
molished and the tenants
relocated with vouchers for
housing.
At that time Bell gave the
board three options to con-
sider. The first was to do noth-
ing. Another option was to
outsource the management
of Grove Terrace.
Bell said that if the board
choose to go this route and
agreed to get a partner in-
volved, it would need a plan


about what to do with the
buildings.
The third option is to relo-
cate the residents and raze
the buildings.
"Is there funding for demo-
lition?" Barr asked.
Bell said the federal De-
partment of Housing and
Urban Development does not
pay for demolition and that
HUD's involvement only ex-
tends to giving the approval
to go forward when a proper-
ty is demolished. He said that
if the board wanted to go this
route, it would have find to a
developer to fund it.
"HUD will not let the
board voucher out residents
without telling the agency
what they intend' to do with
the land," Bell said. "You just
can't tell HUD you are going
to voucher people out and
plan to redevelop the land."
Bell told board members
that having a plan for each of
the options would be key to
resolving these issues.
No sitting back
Board member Joe Dalton
said he didn't know how the
board could continue to
operate in the future.
'A long time ago we decid-
ed that putting more money
in the existing buildings was a
waste," he said.
As tenants left, there would
be less funding from HUD. As

River Road is a backwater
bypass, a 15-mile here-to-
here beeline without a there
between Interstate 75 to Eng-
lewood.
As such, it sprints as
straight as a two-laned pneu-
matic tube lined by lonely
streetlights that loom like lost
hitchhikers looking for a lift
out of the jungle.
Fred Tower III's first im-
pression of the shortcut to the
sea during an early '90s night
ride was this: a big empty
flanked by a curtain of dark-
ness.
"I thought I was in the
middle of nowhere," he said.
"It was the hinterlands."
This all changed in 2001
when Fourth Quarter Prop-
erties of Newnan, Ga., pur-
chased the 26-square-mile
Taylor Ranch for $78 million.
Suddenly, the "hinter-
lands" became prime real es-
tate as one of coastal South-
west Florida's last unpeopled
sprawls, ideally suited for
"infill" development in the
narrowing gap between Ven-
ice and North Port.
Since then, the cities have
annexed their ways east and
west across an unincorpo-
rated hybridization dubbed
"Venice Port" while Fourth
Quarter Properties and others
planned subdivisions, condo-
miniums, office complexes
and shopping centers.
The bottom line: More
than 34,100 new homes could
be built in the next 30 years in
what is now an empty space
on the map enough hous-
ing for at least 75,000 people.
Pivotal to it all is River
Road.

Port city commissioner and

The. traffic congestion
around Venice Elementary
School appears to be better-
that is, less now than it was
last year.
"I think we've made some
progress, some temporary
solutions," Venice Police Traf-
fic Officer Ruth Terry said.
"And, we are talking with the
school about a permanent
solution."
The problem was and is
the long line of cars on Miami
Avenue and Bahama Street
when parents drop their chil-
dren off at school in the
morning and pick them up
later in the day.
"What we are thinking of is
making the entrance (on
Miami) a double lane, one for
parents dropping kids off and
the other for parking," Terry


said, "and a single-lane exit
east of that (about where
Miami curves into Tampa)."
Terry said the hang-up is
the money for permitting and
constructing the exit road.
Sarasota County School
District Board Chair Frank
Kovach and chief operating
officer Scott Lempe said talks
about exit construction atVES
had not reached the board
level.
Construction at VES or any
other school must be ap-
proved and budgeted by the
school board.
Talks started among VES,
VPD and District Director of
Facilities Jody Dumas, Lempe
said. They have reached a
workable solution that will
help with traffic patterns.
However, it is now out of
their hands. Currently, there

River Road is overdue for elevation and widening to serve as a hurri-
cane evacuation route, and development is adding to the pressure to
get the work done.


sota Metropolitan Planning
Organization, "it's in the mid-
dle of everything."
The thought makes many
shudder. River Road is al-
ready a riddle of safety, con-
gestion, hurricane evacuation
and economic development
concerns.
They ask, if this road can't
handle the 16,000 cars that
travel it daily now, how can it
accommodate an additional
85,000?
Fortunately, there is a $96
million answer to all these
questions.
All questions, that is, ex-
cept one: Who pays the $96
million?
The plan
Plans to widen River Road
to four lanes and elevate
much of it by 3 to 6 feet have
been on the books since 1997,
when it would have cost $60
million.
According to Sarasota
County Project Manager Te-
resa Goluch, the project has
four phases.
Designs for the first two
phases, from U.S. 41 to 1-75,
are 80 percent complete, she
said.
The next step is right-of-.
way acquisition. Right now,
Goluch said, "We don't have
the money" to buy land to
widen the road.
Once rights of way are
secured, it would take "at least
two years" of construction to
complete the project, she
said.
Goluch said there is no
timeline for the first two
phases, never mind phases
three and four.
"It's up in the air," she said.
"It depends on timing and
money."

tion route.
Because of this, the county
must widen and elevate the
road "regardless if (projects)
come on line," she said.
However, Wiggins said,
impact fees, triggered by de-
velopment,, will have to fi-
nance much of the improve-
ments.
$73 million solution
J.P Marchand of Kimley-
Horn has identified revenue
sources for $73 million of the
$96 million the project will
cost.

Fourth Quarter's primary
planner, first offered his "2012

River may get extension of wild' designation


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT

Members of the Myakka
River Coordinating Council
will meet Nov. 2 at Oscar
Scherer Park in Osprey to
determine whether to extend
the river's designation as
"wild and scenic."
Comments from three
public hearings held earlier
this 'month at Twin Lakes
Park, Punta Gorda and Myak-
ka City will be studied by the
group. They will consider how
those comments will affect a
preliminary draft on how to
implement the designation.
The draft report will be
completed next month, then
transmitted to Gov. Charlie
Crist, the state Senate and
House of Representatives by a
Jan. 1 deadline.
The Gondolier Sun and


many other area publications
editorially supported expan-
sion of the designated stretch
of the river. But the public
hearings on Oct. 16, 17 and 18
revealed opposition by prop-
erty owners along the river in
Charlotte and Manatee coun-
ties and by the Manatee
County Commission.
"I was surprised by the
magnitude of the opposition
at the Punta Gorda hearing,
despite a recognition in the
audience of the importance
of boating on the river and
the value to the region of pro-
tecting the Myakka," said
Steven Brown, an environ-
mental policy specialist with
the Conservancy of South-
west Florida.
Brown observed that
"these types of hearings usu-
ally draw opponents of pro-
posals. Rarely do proponents


speak up."
The Myakka is one of only
three rivers in the state desig-
nated as wild and scenic, and
the only one on the west
coast. The designation ap-
plies, however, only to the 32-
mile stretch in Sarasota
County, enacted in 1985.
Distrust
Legislation was passed in
the last session in Tallahassee,
directing the council to pre-
pare a report and hold hear-
ings to gauge public senti-
ment on extending the desig-
nation to the river's remain-
ing 34 miles in Charlotte and
Manatee counties.
Land owners along the
river seemed to distrust the
proposal in the first two
meetings. According to
Brown, "they're afraid the fed-
eral government could get


involved, and that their ripar-
ian rights could be restricted."
The designation has ap-
peared to benefit Sarasota
County, according to The My-
akka Conservancy. It cited
improved coordination of
public safety and law enforce-
ment of anti-poaching and
trespass regulations, and re-
duced flood hazards since
1985.
More than 18 miles of the
river's frontage have been
acquired since 1999 through
the county's Environmentally
Sensitive Lands Program, and
they are open to the public.
Protected areas locally
include private homes down-
stream of Interstate 75, Snook
Haven Park, the Venice
Campground, the Diocese of
Venice retreat, Ramblers Rest
Resort and a development of
manufactured homes.

River Road has 'good shot' for federal money


A $23 million gap in funding a $96 million
improvement plan could be partially plugged
with 2009 highway bill allocation.


BY JOHN HAUGHEY
STAFF WRITER

When it comes to roads,
asphalt may pave the way, but
politics pays the way.
In River Road's case, it will
take a lot of politics to get
its $96-million improvement
plan off wish lists and onto
priority lists in Tallahassee
and Washington, D.C.
The 15-mile road, two-lane
county route west of the
Myakka River, links Interstate
75 with Englewood.
Approved and proposed
plans outline construction of
34,000 homes along the road
in the next 30 years includ-
ing 22,000 units in the 10,650-
acre West Villages Improve-
ment District on the former
Taylor Ranch, purchased by
Fourth Quarter Properties of
Newnan, Ga., in 2001.
Right now, the four-phase
plan to widen and elevate the
road has more than $73 mil-
lion primarily builders'
impact fees in identified
anticipated revenues.
However, $23 million re-
mains "unfunded," a gap local
officials and area developers
hope to bridge with state and
federal money.


The table
While prospects of inducing
a state cash
infusion are
slim, River
Road has "a
good shot" at
securing fed-
eral dollars by
2009, said
U.S. Rep. Vern
Buchanan, R-
Longboat Key. Buchanan
Buchanan,
who represents Sarasota,
Manatee, Hardee and DeSoto
counties, and much of the
Cape Haze Peninsula in Char-
lotte County, sits on the House
Transportation and Infra-
structure Committee,
He said River Road's status
as a hurricane evacuation
route and interstate connec-
tion should enhance its odds
for a federal allocation as part
of the five-year, $40 billion
2009 highway bill.
Buchanan said his pres-
ence on the committee will
pay dividends for Southwest
Florida, a region that pays
more in gas taxes than it
receives in return.
He said Florida only re-
ceives "90 cents on the dollar"
expended in the state on gas


taxes.
"By the time it flows down
from the state to this area," he
said, "we are lucky if we get
50, 55 cents.
"So," Buchanan said, "we
are not only a donor state, but
a donor area. That is why
infrastructure and trans-
portation needs are so far
behind. Then, local govern-
ments have to look at taxpay-
ers, and that's not fair."
Buchanan said that when
it comes to roadwork, politics
- and well-placed local rep-
resentatives on key commit-
tees greases the skids.
"If you are not at the table,"
he said, "you don't get your
fair share."
'Money is tight'
However, the $23 million
gap in River's Road's $96 mil-
lion improvement plan won't
be plugged by federal money
alone.
"It is just as important to
get our fair share from Tal-
lahassee as it is from Wash-
ington," Buchanan said.
But with legislators slash-
ing expenditures in a time of
constrained budgets, compe-
tition for state dollars is fierce.
State Sen. Mike Bennett,
R-Bradenton, doubts state
money will be available for
the road.
"As much as I would like to
see it," he said, "I don't see any

improvement in the state
transportation fund. I cer-
tainly, could be wrong but,
let's face it, money is tight."
One reason River Road is
unlikely to receive a state
boost is how it was ranked by
the Manatee-Sarasota Muni-
cipal Planning Organization,
said Pat Neal of Bradenton-
based Neal Communities.
He said two years ago,
River Road or the Engle-
wood 1-75 connector was
the MPO's top priority.
This year, it is third, behind
State Road 301 in Sarasota
and Venice's U.S. 41 Bypass.
MPO's listed priorities help
guide state Department of
Transportation allocations.
Neal, a former state sena-
tor, plans to build 1,490 to
1,925 homes on the 780-acre
"Blackburn property" north


of the West Villages Improve-
ment District on River Road.
For his project and others
- as well as for taxpayers it
is essential to work "the polit-
ical system to see if we can get
River Road back a little high-
er" on state funding lists.
Toll road?
North Port City Commis-
sioner Fred Tower III, chair of
the Manatee-Sarasota MPO,
said it's "pretty simple" why
River Road was downgraded
by the 13-member board:
politics.
"You got it buddy. You got
it," he said. "Sarasota County
wanted the Venice Bypass
and the 301 on the radar.
They moved (River Road)
down so they could, keep the
Venice Bypass high."
Sarasota County Commis-
sioner Shannon Staub said
the $63 million Venice U.S.
41 Bypass de-
serves its top
ranking, not-
ing it has been
a listed priori-
ty since the
mid-'80s.
While odds
for a straight ,
state alloca-
tion are not Staub
good, Bennett
said public-private financing
is a possible alternative.
He said one option is for


the West Villages Improve-
ment District to issue a bond
and "make it a loan that
FDOT would pay back. That is
what we are seeing in the
state using impact fee rev-
enues and paying it forward,
if you will."
Another option, Staub
said, is "looking at a toll road."
She said that eight years
ago the state's toll road
commission determined it
"didn't see enough roof-
tops" to make River Road a
toll road.
However, with circum-
stances now changed, "it is
something we are going to
have to figure into the mix,"
Staub said.
Bennett disagreed.
"I don't think a toll road
will necessarily work there
because of the number of
people who already live
there," he said.
No matter what happens,
it won't happen soon, Sara-
sota County Planning Com-
mission John Fellin said.
"If we had the money in
the bank right now, you are
still looking at five years
before anybody could drive.
on it," he said. "By the way, I
want to emphasize, we don't
have the money in the bank
right now."

The city needs to require

We don't need more condos

Venice isn't capitalizing on

that the recent experiences
with the airport, Tra Ponti
and North Venice are failures
of effective planning. My
experience as a leader in
business, education and
government management
has shown me more effec-
tive planning is possible.
Council should gather
information and have staff
help analyze it, after public
input, so that council knows
what it wants, in some
degree of specificity, before
proposals are considered.
What happens now is not
proactive, and when the


public howls, the council
backs off and then suggests
studying the issue in work-
shops.
I have a vision of develop-
ing a more vigorous tourist
economy and stimulating
downtown businesses by
developing the waterfront
along the Intracoastal
Waterway. This will be a
cooperative activity with the
county and so the recent
bickering (and) talk of law-
suits, which has moderated
as the election approaches,
must be put in the past.
There may be room for a


boat basin, surrounding
shops, cafes, etc. just north
of the railway station. If not,
the Seaboard area might
provide an attractive area,
with cafes, small retail
shops, perhaps with a floor
or two of housing above (not
over 45 feet) and not walling
off the waterway. Those of
us who have visited
Annapolis, Md., or the
Riverwalk in San Antonio
can imagine what a delight
that would be.
I think we should pre-
serve and enhance green
spaces and parks in all parts


of the city and should not
have North Venice become
part of "'A Tale of Two Cities."
That area needs an overall
conceptual plan to supple-
ment the roads and infra-
structure now part of the
comp plan. There is no over-
all vision from the city as to
what it wants to see happen
there, nothing that has
involved the citizens of the
Venetian Golf & River Club
and those of Waterford and
nearby neighborhoods in
discussions of the kinds and
amounts of growth, the
increasing traffic.

Venice is no longer just

Another set of car



burglars caught


BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER

If Venice police keep doing
their jobs as well as they have
been lately, the city is going to
run out of car burglars.
Within days of catching a
Pennsylvania couple break-
ing into cars in the Venice
Regional Medical Center
parking lot, 540 The Rialto,
police caught two more in the
same place.
Lisa A. Lupo, 17, was
arrested and charged with
one count of automobile bur-
glary, a felony. A man who
was with her has been identi-
fied but is not in custody and
is not charged yet. accodiffng
t6 Venice Police Capt. Tomn
McNulty.
While police believe Lupo
and her companion tried to
break into several cars, only
one charge has been filed so
far.

Cameras show
suspects
Police got a call at 10:20
p.m. Oct. 26 fromVRMC secu-
rity. Security officers said the
parking garage surveillance
cameras showed two people
trying to break into cars.
A VPD patrol officer was
just moments away down The
Rialto. When he got to the
parking garage, he found


Lupo on the second floor and
arrested her.
Her companion jumped
over the wall to the ground
and fled on foot.
The Sarasota County Sher-
iff's Office helicopter andVen-
ice K-9 officers joined the
search for Lupo's male com-
panion.
The sheriff's Bell 407 heli-
copter is equipped with FLIR,
or Forward Looking Infra-Red
thermal imaging camera,
which enables the observer to
track a suspect from heat
images.
Neither. the dogs nor the
chopper was able to get a
track on the suspect.
Police remind all drivers
that car burglaries are crimes
of opportunity and to lock
your car doors no matter
where you park even if it is
in your garage.
, While car thieves can easi-
ly get into a locked car if they
are determined, they will gen-
erally opt for a car that is
unlocked. Getting into a
locked car takes a little time
and makes a little noise.
Also, remove all valuables
from your car when you park
it. As a last resort, put loose
items on the floor and cover
them with a blanket.

FUTURE from Page 1A
buildings empty, they be-
come targets for vandalism,
he said.
"After all, this is the gate-
way to Venice and without
money, how can we maintain
it?" he asked.
Bell said that one way or
another board is going to
have to move people out of
the buildings and administer
the process.
If the board doesn't want to
see the buildings vandalized,
it must create a plan to secure
them.
"Members of the board will
have to take a more active
position and not sit back, as
you did in previous situa-
tions," Bell said.
Carol Walker, board mem-
ber and resident of Grove
Terrace, said the facility is
unique because tenants are
more transient and stay for
shorter periods of time. This
allows other families to take


advantage df the low-income
housing when when they are
in need.


"When you make
your decision, you
have to realize it will
not only affect the
lives of the current
tenants, but also the
40 or 50 people who
need affordable hous-
ing in the future."
Benjamin Bell,
M.D. Strum
consultant




Bell said Walker brought
up a good point for the board


to consider. He said the mem-
bers would have to determine
if they want to continue to
have 50 affordable housing
opportunities available in the
future.
"When you make your
decision, you have to realize it
will not only affect the lives of
the current tenants, but also
the 40 or 50 people who need
affordable housing in the
future," he said.
Bell said he would try to
have answers to all of the
questions brought up at this
workshop by Wednesday. He
said he would also address
concerns board chair Sam
Prost had with his report.
Prost and two other mem-
bers of the board were out of
town and did not attend the
workshop.
The next workshop is
scheduled for Saturday, Nov.
3, at 9 a.m.

ROAD from Page 1A


Commission. He reiterated
the breakdown last week for
county commissioners.
He estimates it will cost
$18 million to buy rights of
way along the road.
That expense has already
been cut substantially by a
land swap between Fourth
Quarter, the county and the
Englewood Water District.
Fourth' Quarter has agreed
to trade land it owns along six
miles of River Road in ex-
change for rights of way own-
ed by the county along the
defunct Pine Street extension.
Marchand said Fourth
Quarter's West Villages Im-
provement District, a 10,650-
acre, 22,000-unit taxing agen-
cy approved by the state Leg-
islature in 2004, has $2 mil-
lion set aside for River Road.
He said North Port has $8
million in impact fees for the
road. Add $48 million in antici-
pated impact fee revenues and,
Marchand said, that leaves $23


million "to come up with over
the next 20 to 30 years."
But some, such as plan-
ning commissioner John Fel-
lin, a member of the Eng-
lewood Area Planning Board,
wonder if it's that easy.
"J.P is a planner and an
engineer; not sure if he's a
mathematician," Fellin said.
"What he presented seems to
make sense, although it
would dedicate all the impact
fees from the Thomas devel-
opment to River Road."
Only money
One advantage West Vil-
lages Improvement District
has, Fellin said, is its bonding
capacity.
Bonding can generate
.money "sooner rather than
later," he said. "If they can do
that, more power to them."
Sarasota County Commis-
sioner Shannon Staub was
"surprised" how Marchand
whittled the "unfunded" por-


tion to $23 million.
But, while the land swap
"puts the south part of the
road in better shape," she
said, the county must still buy
rights of way on the northern
span, which is time-consum-
ing and expensive.
Pat Neal, of Neal Com-
munities, plans to build a
1,490-unit subdivision on 780
acres just north of Thomas
Ranch along River Road's
phase one improvements.
'As private interests, we, of
course, will be responsible for
the right of way and the deten-
tion ponds" fronting his land,.
he said, noting it's uncertain
howmuch of the $12 million in
impact fees his project will pay
will go to the road.
"It is ready to go, if there
was money," Neal said. "It's
only money."
And while $23 million is a
lot of money, "it's a lot less
than $96 million," Tower said.

is no money in the district's
budget to fund the project,
which primarily will affect
VES property. But that doesn't
mean the project might not
get completed soon.
According to Lempe, a spe-
cial portion of the district's
capital budget allows for
smaller projects, such as the
lanes atVES, to be completed.
There is a list, Lempe said,
managed by a small capital
projects team. If the team
decides the project needs to-
be moved up in priority, the
lanes will be rebuilt sooner
than if the district budgeted
the project itself.
A work in progress
While school officials, par-
ents, kids and the business
people along Miami and


Tampa avenues wrestle with
the present and future, they
are all making do sort of.
The business people are
less than thrilled because the
soccer moms and dads use
their property to park their
cars while they walk their
children across the street to
school.
Several businesses have
elected to put up "Employee
Parking Only" signs.
Others put up with it.
Terry said one business-
man told her, "It wouldn't do
any good, anyway."
Terry said the school sends
notes home with the children
every week reminding par-
ents not to park their cars on
businesses' property.
Parents still do it, asserting
what is a right to park on pri-


vate property because of the
problems getting into and out
of the school. Heated debates
have occurred in the past
between business operators
and soccer moms.
Terry, or some other uni-
formed officer, is out at the
school entrance often, direct-
ing traffic.
There is no left turn into
thle school if you are headed
west on Miami. That elimi-
nates some problems.
Parents, after dropping or
picking up their kids, can also
use the alleyway just north of
Miami to get back out to U.S.
41 Business.

Political announcement paid for and approved by
Bill Willson for Venice City Council Seat 6


"Venice City Council Elections"

Help keep Venice a beautiful, vibrant and safe place to live by reelecting our community leaders:
Mayor Fred Hammett, Councilman Bill Willson and Councilman Jim Woods.


Mayor Fred Hammett. Councilman Bill Willson and Councilman Jim Woods:

Incumbents have over 10 years of combined leadership experience in Venice government.

Smart, methodical growth planning involving the entire community. Venice growing at only 2-3% per year.

Vision for Venice's future. Venice was named 1 of the top 10 Retirement communities
by U.S. News & World Report, 2007. An acknowledgement that took years to accomplish.


Accountable to all residents for every vote.


Pro economic stability and financial sustainability

Community and city leaders, who are forward thinkers, and
have long-standing roots invested in Venice.

Incumbents know that Venice Airport's runways will NOT be lengthened.

This Council passed two height overlay districts to protect
and preserve Historic Downtown Venice, which will guarantee its vitality.


Opponents:

No experience.

No growth.

No vision for Venice's future. Opponents have not
participated in the planning of the community, nor were
they responsible for Venice receiving national recognition.

No accountability.

Unfriendly to businesses.

Limited community involvement and knowledge.

No viable plan to enhance downtown Venice's economic
prosperity or maintain the city's tax base.

OUR VIEW



Willson is the better candidate for Seat 6


f anyone ever worked harder to prepare
for a seat on Venice City Council than
Bill Willson, we don't know who it was.
Willson, a Sarasota County native, set his
sights on a council seat well before he ran in
2004 and spent several years learning the
ropes so he'd be ready to serve if elected.
Even then, he told us, he still had a learning
curve.
Though we don't think council has had a
great year in 2007, Willson's experience
earns him our endorsement over challenger
Ernie Zavodnyik.
We've been trying to come up with an
analogy for council this year; the best one,
we think, is of a student who did well on pop
quizzes regular business throughout
the year but fell apart on the exams the
airport and Tra Ponti.
Willson gets some of the blame for that.
Other than John Moore, no one on council
seemed to tune into the feelings of city resi-
dents that they were worried about what


development of the airport or Tra Ponti
might do to the city. Ultimately, nothing was
approved for either site yet but that
was more because of voter protest than
council dissatisfaction with the options it
was presented.
Zavodnyik's candidacy is one of the
things those protests spawned. He ran a
close race against John Simmonds in 2006
and is better prepared to serve this time
around, having spent a year becoming more
familiar with Venice and its challenges.
And Zavodnyik has some ideas we like.
He thinks the city ought to promote eco-
tourism and ought to have an environmen-
tal review board. He said the new Venice
High, whenever it gets built, ought to be as
"green" as possible. He pointed out several
eyesores on the island that need rehabilita-
tion or demolition.
Zavodnyik is stronger on questions than
answers, however. It's one thing to wonder
whether there might be some code enforce-


ment action to deal with eyesores; it's
another to offer a proposal for their conver-
sion into something prettier and more use-
ful. Zavodnyik didn't do that, and seemed
unaware of an architectural overlay district
that would apply to the parcels along South
U.S. 41 Business.
With three years on council under his
belt and, we believe, the voices of many
of his constituents ringing in his ears we
think Willson is the stronger candidate of
the two. He also brings a much longer
record of service in the area to the job. That
alone wouldn't get him our nod, but it helps.
We hope by endorsing Willson we aren't
sending the message that we want more of
the same when the airport and Tra Ponti
show up again on council's agenda. Failing
to get the public involved at the outset -
and not listening closely when council final-
ly got around to asking for public opinion -
would polarize a city 'already dividing up
into camps on these issues.


Maybe we're being optimists, but we saw
in Willson's recent motion to send Tra Ponti
back to the drawing board not a calculated
political move, but a tacit acknowledgement
that he is listening now.
We'll be disappointed if that's not the
case. Although Willson has supported some
height overlay limits for downtown, he has
largely voted for taller projects just outside
that area. If we considered this a single-issue
campaign, we'd endorse Zavodnyik.
We recommend Bill Willson for Venice
City Council Seat 6.
******OO
We'd be remiss if we didn't give the candi-
dates a pat on the back for returning the
focus of this campaign to the issues.
We criticized the incumbents for going
on the attack at a forum a couple of weeks
ago and are glad to be able to report that
since then all of the candidates have been
talking about themselves and not each
other. Thank you.

NEW DYNAMICS AT THE FPL BOARD MEETING

BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST


,f& few,yeas ago here were
several people calling for the-
Municipal Planning Organ-.
ization, which is the roads
overseer in Sarasota and
Manatee counties, to take the
U.S. 41 Bypass project and cut
it into separate projects that
could be financed over a peri-
od of time.
John Ryan and Don Hay,
representing the Venice Area
Chamber of Commerce, were
the first to espouse such a
change. To make what had
become a $80 million project
more doable, they suggested
to make it two projects, one
from Bird Bay to Venice
Avenue and the other down to
Center Road.
I had an additional
thought that maybe they
could at least do the Venice
Avenue intersection because
as years pass that will be
harder and harder to do. I also
thought the pieces need to be
done in the off season. Yet we
were all told it couldn't be
done that way sort of
against transportation reli-
gion. Or, said another way,
maybe it wasn't the right per-
son's idea. Likely, however, it
costs more this way.
In any case, it is nice to see
that city council specifical-
ly, Vicki Taylor made the
proposal to cut the project up,
maybe into as many as four
parts. This could get us some
progress relatively quickly.
I think it would have help-
ed if council and the county
commission would had
showed their willingness to
help the state by putting this
on the 1-cent sales surtax list
voters will be voting on Nov. 6.
Maybe they still can if there is
a surplus in the collections, or
maybe we can shift project
priorities.

It was brought to my atten-
tion that there is a miscon-
ception on the 1-cent sales
surtax I should have cleared
up.
The feeling has been that
on a big purchase like a car
that extra 1 cent would be a
substantial hit; on a $30,000
car it would be $300 more.
However, that is not the case
as under this tax you cannot
be charged more than $50 on
any one purchase.


By's Crack: The voting
booth is a very sacred insti-
tution. Name me another
place that offers you the
privacy and the security to
exercise your franchise,
speak your mind, vote your
convictions and adjust
your shorts all at the same
time.

The county dug holes on
the ',inebrook Road exten-
sion, seemingly for trees, and
then filled the holes up. Then
it dug trenches and is in the
process of filling them ,up.
There have been what looked
like mass graves dug up there.
I thought maybe this was a
place for apprentice equip-
ment operators to practice
but have learned the real
truth, I think.
I am told that the county
originally planned to plant
black olive trees, thus the
need for the big holes. It
decided not to do those; I
speculate it's because too
many people would be get-
ting olives for their martinis
and stopping traffic.
So the county decided to
have a lot of oaks along there,
probably to mirror Center
Road; thus, the trench.
Stay tuned.

Venice High volleyball is
moving along; hopefully,
you'll get another chance at
home to see them in action.
For sure you can see dis-
trict champion Venice foot-
ball for three more weeks at
home, maybe even more,
thanks to their impressive
win at Manatee, the No. 4
ranked team in the state.
Venice is getting a lot better
every week and is a lot of fun
to watch.
There is a lunch each
Tuesday to go over the previ-
ous week's game and get a feel
for the upcoming game. Head
coach John Peacock and his
staff have done a great job.
You should come to Honolu-
ana at the airport at noon
Tuesday to see films and get
the rundown.

You will notice a couple of
things different about Friday's
paper. The classified pages
are going from nine columns
to eight columns to make
them more readable. We have
gone -up on the type size to
make that even better.
We also are narrowing the
width of the page. This is a
trend in the industry, includ-
ing the New York Times, USA
Today and hundreds of other
papers around the country.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS



It's about more than height


Editor:
Tra Ponti: Is it a hotel-condominium or a condo resort or a
hybrid hotel-condo development? It's been called all three of
these names.
Having attended the Oct. 23 city council,meeting, I had the
opportunity to see Mike Miller's revised drawings for Tra Ponti.
Wednesday's Herald Tribune said, "The plans are not final.
They must still go through a series of formal workshops set for
November and December. The workshop's goal is to decide
how tall the hotel can be and how many units it can have."
Mr. Miller and council need to remember that these work-
shops are about much more than height and density. They are
about open green space, adequate parking, setbacks (particu-
larly along the sidewalks) and other issues previously raised by
council and residents.
Just because the city allowed the first three Waterford build-
ings, which are way too large, it doesn't need to squeeze five
more buildings into that small area in an attempt to make the
first three buildings look more acceptable. No amount of tran-
sitioning can do that.
Let's go forward with, a plan that allows for a properly
designed and sized hotel along with other businesses that will
benefit the city while not turning that area into a concrete jun-
gle we will all regret.

Talk about
undemocratic

Editor:
The Sarasota County
Council of Neighborhood As-
sociations, composed of 54
homeowner and condo asso-
ciations and neighborhood
groups throughout Sarasota
County (representing 35,000
voting families), is shocked
and dismayed at the idea of
the last-minute attempt to
remove the super-majority
referendum from the Nov. 6
ballot by a few people who
oppose it.


CONA represents the vot-
ing, tax-paying citizens who
have worked so hard to have
their voice heard by the local
government, especially on
the subject of irresponsible,
run-away growth. This refer-
endum to help control unsus-
tainable growth goes to the
heart of the problems that we
encounter every day from our
membership.
We know that this measure
was placed on the ballot only
after all the appropriate con-
ditions had been officially
certified. To keep the voting
public from their right to


weigh in on this extremely
important issue would be
more than undemocratic -
12,525 voters have already
declared they want to vote on
the super-majority by their
signatures on individual peti-
tions. Local citizen volunteers
have spent thousands of
hours collecting these signa-
tures and educating the sign-
ers about the referendum.
We know that the judge
who will decide if the super-
majority referendum stays on
the ballot understands the
public's right to have their
voices heard through their
right to vote.
Do not allow the special
interests of a few to outweigh
the rights of the majority. Let's
make sure that democracy
lives on in Sarasota.
Ann Kaplan
CONA president

How dumb is he now?
Editor:
The Democrats persist in
telling us how stupid Pres-
ident Bush is, continually
portraying him as someone
too dumb to hold the highest
office in the land. So how do
Democrats justify the fact
that poor old dumb George
has foiled them at every turn,
the latest being his vetoing of
their heinous altering of the
SCHIP bill and their inability
to override that veto?
The Democrats took con-
trol of the House and the


Senate after the midterm
elections in 2006, their sole
platform being that they
would end the war with Iraq.
They have obviously con-
tributed zero to that promise
while Bush has surged on
with his plan to win the con-
flict.
Bush was supposed to
have been controlled com-
pletely by Karl Rove, "Bush's
brain." Rove has been gone
now these many months and
the Democrats have achieved
no headway over dummy
George.
When you have to tell
someone that you are one of
the intelligent elite, it sort of
loses something. The truly
gifted show it.
And when you must resort
to petty name-calling in a
frustrated attempt to pass a
measure, you have been thor-
oughly outsmarted.

Do you know where you are at?


BY TOM MINNICH
GUEST COLUMNIST

Many years ago, I had an
organic chemistry professor
who was constantly admon-
ishing me to "know where
you are at." I don't remember
much of the organic chem-
istry, but I remember my pro-
fessor's challenge.
For years I was a "Neigh-
borhood Nimby," and I knew
where I was at. Right in my
own back yard. Then I be-
came a "Neighborhood Ac-
tivist," and again I knew
where I was at, right in my
own neighborhood. Then I
became a "Commupity Ac-
tivist" and was beginning to
learn that "at" was not where I
thought it was.
Then I became a "County
Activist" and a "Lemon Bay
Watershed Activist" and "at"
was becoming larger and.
larger, now encompassing
three counties. Surely my "at"
could not become much larg-
er, for the watershed had now
become a region.
But I was wrong. The Lem-
on Bay Watershed region was
connected to yet another
region called the city of North
Port by a two-lane country
road known as the Engle-
wood Interstate Connector
and the designated evacua-
tion route for the southern
part of the watershed, called
the Cape Haze Peninsula.
So where I am "at" is sud-
denly in the middle of 130,000
people who are now part of


the River Road region.
The future of the residents
of the River Road region will
depend on how quickly we
can make River Road the ma-
jor four-lane, elevated high-
way from Englewood to In-
terstate 75. It's not only a
major evacuation route but
also presents an opportunity
for a regional major employ-
ment center on River Road so
that our work force can work
where they live, instead of dri-
ving 30 to 40 miles a day on
already heavily trafficked
roads just to go to work.
Now that we know where
we are at, the questions be-
comes, "how do we make it
happen?" The answer is "with
money."
I am putting together a
River Road Task Force for just
that purpose finding fund-
ing for River Road. Members
of the task force include Sara-
sota County Commissioner
Shannon Staub, Charlotte'
County Commissioner Tom
Moore, North Port Commis-
sioner Fred Tower, Charlotte
County past Commissioner
Mac Horton, West Charlotte
Co-Civic Association Chair
Bill Coy, South Venice Civic
Association Chair Steve Suau,
South County Assembly of
Neighborhoods Chair John
Ask, Kimley-Horn planner J.P
Marchand and vice president
Al Maio, Miller-Wilson vice
president Jim Paulmann and
developer John Cannon, Eng-
lewood CRA Chair John Rad-
kins and Englewood Water


District board member Taylor
Meals and Planning Commis-
sioner John Fellin, Charlotte
County EMS Director Wayne
Sallade and Sarasota County
EMS Director Ed McCrane,
Engelwood-Cape Haze Area
Chamber of Commerce Exec-
utive Director Karen Maurer
and chamber president Lane
Diedrick.
Sarasota County Commis-
sioner Paul Mercier and
North Port Commissioner
Barbara Gross will participate
as nonmembers of the task
force because of the Florida
Sunshine Laws. Past County
Commissioner .Gene Mat-
thews will also offer support
as a nonmember of the task
force, as well as state Senate
candidate Nancy Detert.
Many other people will act
as advisers, and as time pass-
es I am sure the makeup of
the task force will change as
more people offer their time
and support to this critical
issue.
Rep.Vem Buchanan of Sara-
sota has agreed to meet with
the task force to discuss the
potential for federal funds.
How can you help?
If you are one of the
130,000 people in the River,
Road region and you can
vote, you need to vote for pol-
iticians who care about our
future and reject those who
do not know where you are at.

Venice slams Seminole in regional quarterfinal


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

It took a little less than an
hour for Venice High School
to make its opening state-
ment in the volleyball state
tournament.
The Indians disposed of
Seminole High School Tues-
day night in three games 25-9,
25-7, 25-4. Fans were still fil-
ing into the teepee when the
match was more than half-
way done and the whole thing
was over in about 45 minutes.
"I didn't even have to break
a sweat on the bench," Venice
Head Coach Brian Wheatley
said. "They played great.
They're playing awesome vol-
leyball, it's a great time of the
year to be doing that and
we're just trying to stay on the
railroad track."
Seminole got on the board
early, scoring first in all three
games, but they didn't do it
quite so often. The Warhawks
led just three times in the
whole match, 1-0 each time.
They never even broke 10
points.
Venice, on the other hand,
had unanswered scoring runs
of 17 points in game one, 12
points in game two and nine
points in game three.
The match might not have
taken very long, but that did-
n't keep Venice from piling up
some impressive statistics.


Senior Casie Richards led the
Indians with an astounding
18 kills, followed by sopho-
more Dorothy Rahal with 10.
Senior Kaylee Ream finished
the match with'seven kills
and an ace, while senior
Casey Taylor totaled three
aces and a kill. Senior Julie
Howlett, who has committed
to the University of Tampa for
next year, finished with four
aces.
In a match where the
opposition was clearly over-
matched, Wheatley typically
pulls the starters in favor of
getting, some more minutes
for the younger players. This
time, he kept the older, more
experienced players in the
match.
"It's regionals and we've
got to lay the rock," he said.
"We've got to throw the rock

Kennedy in third after first


day of state tourney


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

The Venice High School
girls golf team withstood
wind and rain Tuesday at the
Class 2A state championship
tournament at The Club at
Eaglebrook in Lakeland.
Casey Kennedy leads the
Indians after day one. She
shot a one-over par 73 to land
herself in third place overall at
the halfway point.
"I think I did alright but I
think I could have done much
better," Kennedy said. "I guess
with the conditions with it
raining and the course being
so wet, and it was so windy
today, that's not a bad score. It
doesn't really bother me when
it's raining, it's just when the
course gets wet. There were
puddles all over the fairways
and in the greens so it was
definitely a factor."
Crystal Smith, the district
and region champion going
into the state tournament,
shot an uncharacteristically
high 84.
"She had a couple tough
holes early on but she
bounced back from that,"
Head CoachWayne Robertson
said. "She had some good
holes but the rain didn't help."
Seirra Rhodus and Gina
Cassan rounded out the scor-
ing for Venice with a 103 and a
116, respectively. That brought
the team total to 376 and land-
ed the Indians in 13th place
out of 16 teams.
"I think we did pretty well,"
Robertson said. "I think Casey

Quarterbacks: B

Sophomore quarterback Trey Burton didn't have his best game of the season, completing
just two passes for 45 yards. But it was good enough. Burton accounted for both of the
Indians' offensive touchdowns, throwing one 36-yard touchdown pass to senior wideout
Gerry Hunek and running one in from 21' yards out.

Venice looked Like the Florida Gators running the football Friday. The Indians had 165
rushing yards thanks rnosdv to their quarterback picking up 102 yards on the ground. As a
running back. Paul Costarizo had just 10 yards on five carries. Most of his 48 yards came
on a fake ptuit. Jimmy LaLLrie, Dre Archer and Codv Reinart combined for a whopping 15
vards on 15 carries. If not for a questionable ftu-nbfe by Costanzo that was returned for a
touchdown, Venice would have come away %%ith the shutout-

Receivers: 13-

The Indian receivers were right there with Bw-ton; it wasn't their best night, but it was
good enough. Hunek had his one grab for a touchdown and senior Light end Cole
Calhouri had anodier grab later in the game. Venice had one touchdown pass go right
through die hands of a receiver, but it didn't matter. The runrdng backs have to take some
of the blame for not establishing the run and opening up the pass. The Indians ordy threw
eight passes all night, but the receivers only caught two of those.

Offensive Line: C-

The running ga-me had nowhere to rwi all night. The offense was unable to get into a
rhN-ifim and the blame falls on the guys in the trenches. Laurie and Costanzo are strong
[Unners but they aren't quite big enough to run through the defensive line by themsek.vs.
Somebody has to get those guys out of the way. If the Indians want to get anywhere in the
playoffs. they will have to get better performances from their o-line.

Defensive Line: A+

Manatee had even more trouble moving the football than did Venice. The Hurricanes mus-
tered just 53 yards on'the ground. The Venice defensive line had it% best game of the year.
They shut down the Manatee ground game, allowing for more bhtzes. It paid off. VeWce
sacked the quarterback six times Frilday, defensive end Gerald Oriol was responsible for two'
of those.

Linebackers: A+

The other four sacks on the night came frorn the linebacking corps. Senior Nate Sardina
and junior Ethan N IN each had two sacks on the night. Manatee came into the game with
tivee nuining bac" averaging more than 6 yards per carry. The highest yards per carry
number (min. 3 carries) for the Hurricanes Friday was 3.66 forjurtior running back Ben
Axon.

Defensive Backs:, A-

These guys deserve at least partial credit for the Indians' six sacks. Manatee sophomore
quarterback Brion Carries sirnplycould not find open receivers. He completed just seven
of 24 attempts and it's not because his receivers carft catch. Their leading receiver, sopho-
more Ace Sanders, had 20 catches for 360 yards and two touchdowns on the year going
into Friday night. Now he ha&21 for 379, still just one touchdown. If not for a pair of
dropped interception opportunities that would have gone for six, this unit gets an A- as
well.

Rpecial Tearns: P+

New kicker Edward Delehanty is now tested and proven. The soccer player can play foot-
ball. With his addition to the roster, the Indians were three for three on extra points and
kickoff coverage was vastly improved. junior punt-returner Dre Archer finally took one to
the house on his first opportunity of the game. If not f6r a high snap on the Indians first
punt that was negated thanks to a nmning-into-the-kicker penalty, this unit gets an A.

BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Mark Cox is going back.
Tyler Revels and Tori Kontor
are making their first trip.
After the Class 5A, Region 2
championship meet Sunday,
those three Venice High
School swimmers are head-
ing to the state championship
meet Saturday.
Only the top finishers in
each event at the regional
level are guaranteed a spot in
the state meet. After that, only
the top- 12 relay times and the
top-20 individual times from
all four regions make it.
Cox, last year's state cham-
pion in the 100-yard butterfly,


finished second in that event
at the regional meet with a
time of 51.62, just .05 of a sec-
ond out of first place. He will
advance to the state meet as a
No. 2 seed.
Cox also qualified for the
state meet in the 200-yard
freestyle. He took second in
the regional meet with a time
of 1:44.52. He will advance to
the state meet in that event as
a No. 5 seed.
Revels took second in the
100-yard breast stroke with a
time of 1:01.02. That was
good enough to get him a No.
5 seed in the state meet.
Tori Kontor, the lone lady
Indian going to state, took
eighth in the 100-yard free-


style with a time of 54.89. She
got into the state meet by the
skin of her teeth as a No. 24
seed.
The state meet will take
place at the Central Florida
YMCA Aquatic Center in
Orlando this Saturday.

Schools might borrow if tax fails


BY COURTNEY LINN
STAFF WRITER

If the 1-cent sales surtax
doesn't pass Nov. 6, Sarasota
County School Board mem-
bers say they might have to
borrow money to complete
some capital projects, such as
a newVenice High School.
The tax accounts for $350
million of the school district's
capital funds for the next 15
years.
In contrast to impact fees,
which can only be used for
new capital projects support-
ing new growth, 1-cent sales
surtax money helps pay for
rebuilds where no growth is
indicated, such as for Venice
and Booker high schools.
In addition to the rebuilds,
the tax also pays for upkeep
projects, such as a new cafete-
ria for Pine View, air condi-
tioning units and new com-
puters for schools and main-
tenance.
When the district borrows
money, it can be repaid from
capital funds but is subject to
interest. The district was look-
ing at borrowing money to
speed up the VHS rebuild, but
it would be borrowing more
money should the 1-cent
renewal fail.
Options
Al Weidner, deputy chief
financial officer for the dis-
trict, said the money from the
sales tax in the past has been
used under the supervision of
an oversight committee.
And, Board Vice Chair
Kathy Kleinlein said it has
always been used fairly.
In addition to building,
maintaining and rebuilding
schools, in the past six school
years the district has bor-
rowed $84.5 million from its
capital budget and placed it in
its operating budget.
"I want to cut (capital

Exercise your right to vote.


transfers) down to zero,"
Kleinlein said.
According to Weidner, the
board members have other
options for obtaining the
money needed to finance
capital projects should the tax
fail. The alternatives require
voters to vote on varying
kinds of property tax increas-
es.
Weidner also said the city
of Venice has much to gain
from the 1-cent tax passing,
especially where VHS is con-
cerned.
The tax supports the VHS
rebuild and the erection of
the performing arts center.
"The sales tax," Weidner
said, "is a win-win for the city
ofVenice."
Board reaction
Kleinlein, who has been in
favor of borrowing money in
the past, saw the need to be
conservative with borrowing
should the tax not pass.
Board Chair Frank Kovach
thinks the tax is one of the
fairer ways the district can.


manage both growth and
maintenance.
"This is a tax tourists pay a
good portion of," he said. "I
think it's one of the fairer
taxes out there, unlike prop-
erty taxes."
Board member Carol Todd,
who has been against bor-
rowing, agreed conservative
borrowing might be neces-
sary should the tax not pass.
In addition, the future of VHS
and BHS would be uncertain.
"We would have to re-eval-
uate every project (sched-
uled) for the next 10 years,"
she said.
Todd and Kleinlein were
adamant that it is the com-
munity's responsibility to
finance growth.
'"Anyone who lives here has
a responsibility to support
our community and that
includes schools," Todd said.
"Growth does not pay for
itself," Kleinlein said. "It never
has, and it never will."

Political announcement paid for and approved by Sue Lang for Venice City Council Seat 5


Thursday letter penned by
attorney Morgan Bentley,
claiming language about the
amendment on the ballot was
too vague.
DeMarsh said the emer-
gency hearing request came
too late.
"The ballots for the No-
vember 6, 2007, election have
been printed, absentee bal-
lots have been mailed and
early voting commenced on
Monday, October 22, 2007,"
DeMarsh wrote. "It is quite
simply highly inappropriate
for. a hearing to be held dur-
ing an election."
DeMarsh wrote that the
question on the ballot
"has been well-known for
months," having received ap-


proval to be placed on the
ballot at a public hearing of
the Sarasota County Com-
mission Sept. 12.
"Given that plaintiffs have
chosen to wait until October
25 to file a lawsuit, which
could have been filed within a
few days of September 12, it is
my opinion that no hearing
should be scheduled until
responsive pleadings have
been filed by the named re-
spondents," DeMarsh con-
cluded.
Bentley, a partner in the
Sarasota law firm of Williams,
Parker, Harrison, Dietz &

for comment.

County puts money on trees Sarasota County OKs hearing on redistricting


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

The pastoral setting of
Twin Lakes Park was an apt
venue recently for a discus-
sion by the Sarasota County
commissioners in their con-
tinuing mission to preserve
and promote the county-s tree
canopy.
"You asked us to bring a
plan to you based on three
specific objectives you have,"
said Public Works General
Manager Tho-
mas Maroney.
"Those in-
clude respect
for trees and
infrastructure
decisions,
maximize op-
portunities to
replenish the
canopy. in the te
county. and Ptteon
create priority
to maintain
our existing
canopy."
Maroney
said tree pres-
ervation was
an important
factor in all
county pro-
jects. Ley
"This does Ley
not simply ap-
ply to roads,"
he said.. "It ap-
plies to facili-
ties or anylkind

build or oper-
ate or maintain
within Sarasota
County. o p a
Marone y Barbetta
noted that in
fiscal year 2008
no money would be allocated
from the capital improvements
plan for trees.
This was news to County
Commission Chair Nora Pat-
terson. "Why would there be
no money for. 2008?"
Patterson asked.
"The surtax allocated a cer-
tain amount of money every
year toward tree planting" said
County Administrator Jim Ley.
"Your road construction pro-
grams always contain an ele-
ment of tree planting as well
You just reprioritized several
years ago some of the money
that would otherwise have
been available to you."
Progress
At that point, County Com-


EVERY
FRIDAY
NIGHT:


missioner Joe Barbetta moved
to extend allocations of surtax
dollars to include tree planti-
ng on public properties to
maximize opportunities for
replenishing the county's tree
canopy. His motion passed
unanimously.
"We're looking at private-
public partnerships," said De-
metra McBride, manager of
urban forestry for the county.
"We're doing that with corpora-
tions and, in fact, we've already
made some progress on that."
"Even though we may be
moving more money toward
the increasing and enhancing
of canopy, I think we have to
look at the returns," Barbetta
said. "The economic value of
a better quality of life. A better
community. The stormwater
retention value is phenome-
nal. There are so many addi-
tional benefits and that's why
we have to look at the trees as
part of our infrastructure."
McBride agreed.
"We see trees in terms of
urban growth," McBride said.
'"And we see them in terms of
planning the urban ecosys-
tem, which is really the
emerging ecosystem of the
21st century."

The Sarasota County Commission endorsed a
recommendation from staff to hold a public hear-
ing on changing commission district boundaries
to keep them proportionate to population.


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER


In the end, it was a propos-
al meant to better represent
the people, they said.
The Sarasota County com-
missioners
approved a
public hear-
ing on an or-
dinance that,
if adopted,
would more
fairly draw the
boundaries of
districts 3 and
5 South Thaxton
County dis- sa. "o '
tricts cur-
rently represented by county
commissioners Shannon
SStaub and Jon Thaxton re-
spectively.
"Those districts have a lot
more population than the
other three," Staub said. "It's
very out of balance."
, The decision came in two
parts. First, the commission-

ers needed to decide whether
to take immediate action
based on current population
numbers or wait until the
results of the 2010 census
came in. Next, they had to
choose from several redis-
tricting op-
tions present-
ed to them by
staff, offering
various sce-
narios based
on those pop-
ulation num-
bers.

Staub missioners
Sta opted to move
forward on
the issue right away on a close
3-2 vote, with commissioners
Joe Barbetta and Paul Mercier
dissenting.
"Joe and Paul wanted to
wait for the new census to do
anything," Staub said.
Staub, Thaxton and Com-
mission Chair Nora Patterson
opted to get the ball rolling


"They gave (Thaxton) a little of North Port. His
(district) has always been the biggest in actual
land size, though much of it is currently

rather than wait another
three years.
"We don't know the real
numbers now population-
wise," Staub said. "But we
know that we're out of kilter,
and I felt it was a step in the
right direction."
A little North Port
Staub said staff's best
option, tentatively endorsed
by the commissioners, was to
take some of South Venice -
currently in Staub's district -
and place it in Thaxton's.
The results of that option
ultimately redivided the dis-
tricts into the following popui-
lation sets, as represented by
staff's calculations based on
the 2000 census:
District 1 (Mercier) -


Shannon Staub




64,947
District 2 (Barbetta) -
65,390
District 3 (Staub) -
65,307
District 4 (Patterson) -
64,821
District 5 (Thaxton) -
64,821
"They gave (Thaxton) a lit-
tle of North Port," Staub said.
"His (district) has always
been the biggest in actual
land size, though much of it is
currently vacant."
The public hearing is set
for about 1:30 p.m. Nov. 26 at
the Sarasota County Admin-
istration Center, 1660 Ring-
ling Blvd.

To Kick the .htbit!

It's no secret that smoking is dangerous to your health and poses serious
risks to every age group in our society. Therefore, smoking prevention and
cessation is an obvious focus for the members of the Community Health
Improvement Partnership (CHIP), which is comprised of health leaders
from Sarasota, DeSoto, and Charlotte Counties. The mission of this high-
powered group is to improve the health of citizens in the three counties
through the identification of serious and widespread health problems, and the
implementation of programs and services designed to mitigate their effects on
our community.

"We just couldn't ignore the fact that smoking claims the lives of more than
440,000 people in the U.S. each year," said Margaret Kennedy of the Sarasota
County Health Department. "This presents a tremendous opportunity to
impact health in a significant way."

Just consider:
* Tobacco use is directly responsible for more than 25 causes of death ...
* An estimated four million people will die of tobacco-related illnesses
worldwide this year; by the 2020s, the death toll will increase to 10 million
deaths per year.
* In the'U.S., cigarette smoking accounts for approximately 300,000 to
430,000 deaths annually (more than 10 times the death rate from
breast cancer).
* Nearly I in 5 deaths in the U.S. are related to smoking.
* Between one third and one half of all smokers will die prematurely of a
disease caused by their tobacco use.
* Half of all heart-related causes of death in women younger than 65 are due
to cigarette smoking.
* Tobacco use does not just cause lung cancer: it is linked to cancers of the
mouth and throat, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, breast and cervix.
* Lung cancer surpassed breast cancer in 1987 as the leading cancer killer
of women.
* Nearly 3,000 youth (under the age of 18) begin to smoke regularly in
the U.S. each day.

With a full understanding of the
damage caused by smoking, the CHIP
members-who are mostly hospital
administrators and health department
officials-felt it was important to take
a strong stand within their respective
organizations and communities by saying
"please don't smoke here."

According to Melody Trimble, Chief
Executive Officer of Venice Regional
Medical Center, "Each of the eight
hospitals and the three health departments have agreed to create tobacco-free
campuses by December 31, 2007. Although smoking is a personal decision,
health care providers owe it to all of those who work in their facilities and to
their patients and visitors to provide a safe and healthy environment."

Venice Regional Medical Center has chosen to become a completely
smoke-free campus on Great American Smoke Out Day November 15,
2007. To help Venice Regional employees who use tobacco products, the
hospital has provided free smoking cessation aids and classes to those who
want to quit. "It is entirely up to each individual whether he or she wants to
go smoke-free or not," said Trimble. "However, we continue to encourage
healthier lifestyles for everyone."

So, if you happen to be smoking the next time you come to one of the
Venice Regional Medical Center facilities and you see a sign asking you not
to smoke-or an employee gently reminds you that smoking is not allowed
on our campus-please don't be offended. We are just trying to be a great
healthcare provider!

THE BEST TRICKS 'N TREATS




Pine


BY NATASHA VOIGT
GUEST WRITER


Travel can be more fun
when you learn a city's leg-
ends. Visiting Memphis this
summer I went to historic
sites and enjoyed a ghost tour.
Below are a few of the stories I
learned, just in time for Hal-
loween.
Orpheum Theater's
ghost Little Mary
Every time a new play
opens, Mary, an orphan, will
come to see it.
One night, while walking
on Main Street, in Memphis
Tenn., Mary was struck by a
trolley. It happened in front of
the Orpheum Theater, where
she would see her plays.
Someone carried her body in-
to the Orpheum's lobby That
is where she died.
To this day, whenever a
new play comes to town, it is
said that, during rehearsals,
people have heard a little girl
giggling. When "Fiddler on
the Roof" came to town, the
cast would not perform with-
out being allowed to have a
spiritual ceremony to release
her spirit. Mary was causing
too much trouble and was
being distracting. The cere-
mony made her angry. People
believed she did not like
being asked to leave.
Another thing that made
Mary mad was when people
sat in her seat: seat C5 in the
balcony. She did not sit there
when she was alive but she
claimed that seat after she
died. Whenever that seat was
sold to anyone, things would
go wrong. They no longer sell
that seat to anyone.
When Mary gets mad,
things go crazy and the spiri-
tual ceremony for "Fiddler"
made her especially angry.
Props went missing. Tickets
didn't sell well. Actors forgot
their lines. Mary was so mad
and ruining so many things
the "Fiddler on the Roof" cast
went against its contract and
left before the final show.
The Grand
Hotel's 'Cat lady'
The Grand Hotel sits on a
hill considered sacred by the
natives who used to live in
Memphis before it was
Memphis.
The hotel was the most
modern of its time. Its name
really said it all. It had indoor
plumbing and many luxuries.
In early days, if you only had
to walk 500 feet to the bath-
room; you were lucky. If you
had a room at the Grand, you
were really -something big.
Then the Grand Hotel burnt
to the ground and there was
not enough money in the
budget to build another hotel
as extravagant as the original
Grand Hotel.
Eventually, the replace-
ment was turned into basic
apartments. One was leased
to an old woman who was
referred to as the "Cat lady."
No one knew much about

hunting in Memphis


her. Some people did not
even know what she looked
like. She died in her apart-
ment. It was believed she died
of natural causes.
Soon after her death some-
thing very unusual hap-
pened, so unusual that they
stopped renting out her for-
mer space.
A man had rented the
room that the old lady used to
occupy. One day, as he was
taking a nap, he dreamed he
was sitting on his bed and a
woman was coming toward
him. He awakened, alarmed,
but then thought nothing
more about it. He went back
to sleep, and the dream con-
tinued. The woman -came
toward him and began to
remove his wedding ring. He.
awakened again. This time he
was frightened. He looked at
his hand. His wedding ring
was gone! He quickly packed
up this things, reported the-
incident, and left.
Since then, the owner does
not rent out that room. She
said that people call her to
report hearing noises and
screams coming from that
room. It has happened so
much, and the owner has
checked it out so much, she
no longer checks the room.
Whenever she did check the
room, it was always the same
- there was nothing there.
Silky O'Sullivans
There is a bar on Beale
Street called Silky O'Sullivans,
after the original owner. One
of its longtime regular cus-
tomers was a man named
Jeremiah Buckly. He was a
retired admiral. He used to go
there every day, and, after
awhile, the owner treated him
like one of the family. He even
let him use the TV remote
controller. Whenever he was
handed the remote, Buckly
would change the channel to
golf.
He passed away in 2003.
Shortly' thereafter, strange
things began to happen. The
owner would find the TV on
in his office, with the volume
turned all the way up, even
though no one was there. At
first he thought it was turned
on by an employee sneaking
into the office but it was
always turned to the golf
channel. One day the owner
realized it must have been the
admiral. He was still hanging
around the bar.
Walking into his office one
day, he saw his chair tilted
back and TV on.
"Sorry Admiral," he said,
and then he walked out.
Others noticed that the
lamps would be turned off or
lights would flicker basic
stuff. People believed the
admiral wanted to make his
presence known.
Even after he died, he was
still a regular.
Pee Wee Saloon
It is said the Pee Wee
Saloon was a favorite meeting
place for musicians in Mem-

phis. W.C. Handy, famous for
the blues, wrote copies of
songs for his band members
while at the saloon.
"Demon Eyes Ed" ran the
saloon and had several young
ladies who served drinks
there. Ed earned his nick-
name because of a condition
he had. Whenever he sneezed
or coughed, his eyes would


become bloodshot and take
on the appearance of a
demon.
One day, "Demon Eyes Ed"
found three of his female
employees drinking his liq-
uor. He shot and killed all
three of the women. Since
that day, people have report-
ed hearing three women
laughing and whispering at


the bar, when no one was
laughing or whispering.
Memphis is a fun city. You
should go there yourself. In
addition to the ghost tour, there
are Graceland (Elvis Presley's
home), the Cotton Museum,
the Fire Museum, carriage
rides and beautiful architecture
throughout the city.
I did all these, and you


can't leave Memphis without
visiting all these places. You
need to see them all to under-
stand the meaning and im-
portance of the city.

... 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.
Someone or some group
is stealing umbrellas from
blonde women on rainy days
and the police are helpless to
stop it.
So far 37 blondes have
had their umbrellas stolen.
The latest incident occ-
urred when Ecineville's love-
ly Public Information Officer
Pamela Anderson, a blonde,
and a friend of hers an
Unidentified Blonde Friend
from Ohio (UBFFO), were
having lunch at the Luana
Cafe in Ecineville.
The pair were found by a
police officer standing by
their car in the parking lot of
the restaurant in a torrential


rainstorm holding each other
and crying uncontrollably.
When Ecineville Police
Officer Lucy Nightstick asked
the two women what was
wrong, the UBFFO respond-
ed.
"They've stolen our um-
brellas and now we're stand-
ing here getting soaked to
the bone and there's nothing
we can do about it," said the
UBFFO.
Nightstick asked Ander-
son and her friend to follow
her.
The officer escorted the
women to the front of the
restaurant, 30 feet away,
which was covered with a
large awning and out of the
rain.
"So how long have you
lovely ladies been standing
out there in the rain?" said
Nightstick.
A sobbing, drenching wet,


make-up-running-down-
her-face Anderson told Night-
stick she thought they had
been standing out in the tor-
rential rain for at least 20
minutes, after their umbrel-
las were stolen.
After Nightstick stopped
laughing, she asked the
blondes to tell her what had
happened and who had stol-
en their umbrellas.
"We were walking toward
our car with our umbrellas


over our heads when they
came and stole them right
out of our hands," said the
UBFFO.
"Who?" said Nightstick.
"It was two golden
retrievers riding two minia-
ture horses," said Anderson.
Anderson's UBFFO nod-
ded in agreement, and add-
ed that one of the retrievers
didn't have a tail.
"You want to run that by
me again?" said Nightstick.
Nightstick interrupted
Axiderson when she started
to repeat the story about the
golden retrievers and minia-
ture horses to ask if the ladies
had been drinking.
"Of course we've been
drinking," responded the
UBFFO.
"Don't tell her we've been
drinking, that's not true. She's
been drinking I haven't. As
a matter of fact, officer, she's


a damn drunk," said Ander-
son.
"Who you calling a
drunk?" said the UFFBO.
Nightstick says she regret-
ted having to stun both
women with the jellybean
stun gun, but it was the only
way she could separate the
pair.
They spent a pleasant
night in separate rooms at
the Celebration Inn Hotel
and Resort, which is being
used as the jail since they
closed the south jail due to
budgetcuts.
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, friends are thick-
er than water here in
Ecineville.

Venice is committed


BY MONTY ANDREWS
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
The U. S. Mayors Cli-
mate Protection Agree-
ment recently signed by
Venice Mayor Fred Ham-
,-. mett commits the city of
Venice to various conser-
vation principles.,
These principles in-
clude the creation of an
action plan to reduce glo-
bal warming emissions,
make energy efficiency a
priority, increase average
fuel efficiency of munici-
; pal fleet vehicles, pro-
mote transportation options
such as bicycle trails, and
help educate the public,


schools, business and indus-
try about reducing emissions
harmful to the atmosphere.


More than 30 mayors
throughout the state of
Florida have signed this
agreement.
Demonstrating the
city's commitment,
council has pledged $1
million in 1-cent sales sur-
tax revenue, provided the
proposed extension is
approved, over the next 1-5
years.
To those of us who
share a deep concern for
conservation and the
environment, this is an
important first step, and
one that should lead to
meaningful change.
The planet it's worth
saving.

I may never mow my lawn ... again


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST


Early in the springtime,
while mowing my miserable
lawn for the second time in a
week, I thought I heard a very
strange sound coming from
my lawnmower. The noise
seemed to get louder and
louder, until finally, I heard a
very loud explosion, much
like a gunshot.
I quickly scanned the area
to see if perhaps there was an
actual.gun battle going on, as
two of my neighbors had
recently shared words that
would embarrass a sailor. I'm
not exactly sure what their


argument was about, but I
think it had something to do
with the one who owns an
elephant-size dog making
elephant-size deposits, com-
monly called landmines, on
the other gentleman's lawn.
However, I didn't see anyone
waving an elephant-size gun,
so I surmised that it might be
something else, like my
mower blowing up.
My first inclination that
something was wrong was
when it stopped mowing and
black liquid started squirting
out of a hole in the side of the
mower. Then, it just plain
stopped running.
That little thingy on the top
of the engine where the rope
comes out was not spinning,
and there were no motor
sounds, or noises like rocks
hitting the grass guard.
Then, I saw what looked
like black tar slowly oozing
out from what appeared to be
a large crack along one side of
the engine. Now, I'm not a
mechanic, but I did listen to
"Car Talk" one time' on the


radio, so I was pretty sure that
something most probably
was not right..
Now, in spite of my lack of
mechanical genius, I have
always been under the
impression that oil did not
have to be changed or added
until that little red light came
on. At least, that is what I have
always told my wife. However,
since there was no little red
light on my.mower, how was I
to know that the thing even
had oil?
I can tell you that the folks
who make these mowers sure
take a lot for granted, like
assuming all users of their
mowers know a lot about
motors. You would think they
would have something on the
machine that might have
indicated that oil is necessary
for the stupid thing to run
properly.
Maybe a telephone call
once in a while to inquire if I
have checked the oil level. Or
perhaps a postcard with a
friendly reminder that oil is
essential for proper operation


of the mower.
No sirreebob, not a single
word from anyone. I can tell
you those folks have a lot to
learn about explaining their
products.
Well, my next step was to
drag the busted mower back
to. the garage, which I did
while oil drizzled freely across
the driveway. My wife, who
had heard what sounded like
a gunshot, came running into
the garage to see if I was the
one who had been shot, and if
so, should she call the para-
medics.
After pointing to the
engine with oil now dripping
on the garage floor, she want-
ed to know who had shot the
mower and why would any-
one want to do such a thing.
,Finally, I convinced her that
there had been no gunshot,
and the noise that she had
heard had not come from a
gunshot, but from some
metal part busting through
the whatchamacallit; causing
that little thingy to make oil
run out of what was now a


very large hole.
I must have sounded
authoritative, as she slowly
shook her head. But she still
seemed puzzled until I told
her that this sort of thing hap-
Spened all the time because
the folks who make mowers
don't tell people anything
about oil, nor do they put lit-
tle red lights on the instru-
ment panel like they do in
cars.
After I loaded what was left
of my mower into my car for a
return trip to the place from
which I had purchased it,
"Car Talk" came on the radio
with advice about giving
proper maintenance to
motors. When they men-
tioned the importance of oil, I
thought, "Boy, do these guys
have a lot to learn." Not once
did they mention anything
about a blinking red light.
I'm thinking I'll send them
a -photograph of my lawn-
mower. I have a hunch they
would appreciate it.

Lindsay-Abaire play, "Kim-
berly Akimbo" opens in the
Yvonne Y. Pinkerton Theatre,
the home of Stage, II produc-
tions at the Venice Little
Theatre, 140 W. Tampa Ave.
The story concerns a 16-year-

from that of most grandmoth-
erly types.
While the play does not

come early to meet Andree
Schroeder, the featured artist
in the Mitzi Volker gallery
upstairs at the theater. From
5:30 to 7 p.m., Schroeder will

man show in the gallery. The
reception is free and open to
the public.
Opening next on the Main-
Stage is "Little Shop of Hor-
rors" by Howard Ashman
with music by Alan Menken.

ence fiction films that some-
times appear late at night,

SPECIAL TO THE
GONDOLIER SUN
Oak Park South School, on
the Venice Middle School
campus, hosted a flag retire-
ment ceremony on Patriot
Day, Sept. 11.
The Color Guard of Am-
erican Legion Post 159 posted
the colors and helped create
the ceremony. The event also
was a real-life civics lesson for
the Oak Park South and the
Venice Middle School stu-
dents attending.
The program; inspired by
and in remembrance of Sept.
11, officially retired a number
of worn or damaged flags.
This is in accordance with
Tide 36, Section 176,' of the
Constitution of the United
States of America stating: "No
disrespect should be shown
the flag of the United States of
America." Furthermore, para-
graph K of this same tide,
Section 176, states: "The flag,


when it is in such condition
that it is no longer a fitting
emblem for display, should be
destroyed in a dignified man-
ner, preferably by burning."
David Delaney, of Oak Park
South recited a tribute, "I Am


Your Flag" (author unknown).
Barry Taylor told the story of
the flag as members of the
school community, both Oak
Park South and Venice Middle
School, fed sections of the
flags into the fire.
