The farmers market is
going back home.
After presentations on
the issue, Venice City Coun-
cil voted Tuesday to allow
the Saturday morning farm-
er's market back into Cen-
tennial Park.
The lack of hot water in
the park's lavatories the
reason the market moved to
Burgundy Square off Miami
Avenue was addressed by
Nancy Trascik, market di-
rector. She said that a hot-
water regulator will be
installed to be used on-
demand for vendors to
make them compliant with
Florida's green-market regu-
lations.
Angela Rak, owner of
Master Plumbers in North
Port, told council that as a
concerned citizen, she will
donate all labor and materi-
als involved in making the
change.
After the council ap-
proved the move, Mayor Ed
Martin said the market
could move back upon in-
stallation of the hot-water
regulator and suggested Jan.

that request.
The expanded market

clothing, as well as the usual
vendors of herbs, fish, fresh

izations such as Sertoma,
the Venice High School cho-
rus or Big Brothers Big


Sisters could participate in
the market as a fundraising
activity.
Council member John
Moore questioned the ex-
pansion, saying the new
vendors would compete
with Venice merchants.
"I think we should be -,
sensitive to the fact that we
would be in competition,"
he said.
He wanted to give the
market an opportunity in its


new location. Trascik said
she would to work with any

Venice City Council is
making good on its promise
to address building height.
At its Tuesday, Nov. 27,
meeting council directed
the city manager and staff to
draft up the necessary
paperwork to impose a
moratorium on new devel-
opment petitions.
It was one of 43 major
city projects and policy
issues City Manager Marty
Black asked city council
members to consider.
The review served as a
transition tool for new
council members Sue Lang,
Ernie Zavodnyik and Mayor
Ed Martin.
Black asked council to
consider the temporary
moratorium to give it time,
for a formal discussion
about establishing an over-
all community height limit.
Whether that is 35 feet or
45 feet plus an additional 10
feet for special exceptions,
or some other figure, re-
mains to be seen.
Council members John
Moore, Sue Lang, Ernie
Zavodnyik and Mayor Ed
N-lartin spoke out in support
of the moratorium.
City Attorney Bob Ander-
son warned the six-month
moratorium council mem-
bers began discussing


might be too short.
"There's a lot more to a
moratorium than mee4s the
eye," Anderson said. "I'dlike
some flexibility if it takes
longer."
He suggested a year-long
moratorium to give staff
and counsel time to work
with consultants, conduct
workshops, redraft zoning
regulations, go through the
planning commission re-
view process and conduct
additional council work-
shops.
"Case law in Florida
would support the imposi-
tion of a temporary morato-
rium on development peti-
tions -that may otherwise
seek to exceed this limit
while the mayor and city
council proceed through
the process to adopt these
height restrictions," Black
said. "Time is -of the es-
sence.
Black's worried about a
rush of petitions being filed
in an attempt to circumvent
new height restrictions.
Anderson said the mora-
torium might even need to
say "maintain ,status quo,"
while council establishes a
new height limit.

Not the first gun incident for Venice police officer


BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER

The Venice cop who acci-
dentally shot his stepson
has been in trouble with the
department before.
According to a Sarasota
County Sheriff's Office in-
vestigation, Billy Masters,
44, was cleaning his Glock
23 semi-automatic .40 cal-
iber duty pistol at the Venice


Police Department range
Nov. 21. His wife and 5-year-
old stepson Jayrd Webber
came to watch him shoot.
Masters was disassem-
bling the weapon (a normal
procedure prior to clean-
ing) and didn't realize he
still had around in the
chamber, the report stated.
The gun accidentally dis-
charged.
The bullet hit JayTd in the


left hip area. He was airlifted
to All Children's Hospital in
St. Petersburg. He was re-
leased the next day.
Masters was put on paid
administrative leave pend-
ing the outcome of the sher-
iff's investigation and a VPD
internal investigation.
Disciplined over affair
Five years ago, Masters
was involved in an affair


with another VPD officer's
wife. Both officers are still
with the department. Mast-
ers was disciplined by then-
Chief Jim Hanks.
Hanks originally recom-
mended that Masters, who
had then been with the
department 10 years, be
suspended for five days
without pay. The discipline
also included removing him
from his, position on the


Venice Police Honor Guard
and as a field training officer
for one year. In addition,
Hanks put Masters on six
months probation as a K-9
officer.
The affair and the disci-
plinary action caused wide-
spread dissension within
the department. Many offi-
cers felt Hanks was too
lenient with Masters and
did not handle the matter


expeditiously.
A VPD review board rec-
ommended that Masters,
who also reportedly pulled
a gun on the other officer
over a matter not directly
related to the affair, should
have been suspended for 15
days without pay.

Venice, county at impasse over Bella Citta


It's beginning to look


BY St 1VEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

Mediation failed to resolve
a dispute between the city of
Venice and Sarasota County
over Bella Citta, a proposed
development abutting Sor-
rento Ranches off Pine-
brook Road in Venice.
Monday, the commis-
sioners reached an impasse
with Venice officials over
language in the recently
passed joint-planning agree-
ment on land-use compati-
bility issues in general -
and issues with the Bella
Citta project in particular.
Bella Citta would accom-
modate 180 townhouses
and condominiums on the
46-acre parcel, at about four
units an acre. However 26 of
those acres are wetlands
and cannot be built upon,
creating an actual density
- according to the county


- of nine units per acre,
twice the legal number.
The county commission-
ers contended Venice's posi-
tion violates the agreement
by allowing higher densities
in developments that abut
existing ones.
Venice officials defended
their actions by arguing that
language in the planning
agreement shields them
from county approval of the
city's planning activities
within its municipal bound-
aries.
"Bella Citta is an example
that, if either the board of
county commissioners or
the (Venice) City Council
don't concur with the
staff(s), even if staff deci-
sions are joint, elected offi-
cials still have the option to.
take it to the next level," said
Venice City Manager Marty
Black "The board wants to
articulate its objections to


this zoning case, which will
happen at a public hearing
with the city council."
That hearing will happen
in Venice sometime in Jan-
uary, he said.
County Commissioner
Shannon Staub saw the is-
sue as more than just artic-
ulating an objection, but
was optimistic for a positive
result.
"I don't care what the
numbers are, it doesn't look
low density," Staub said.
"But this (process) is grow-
ing pains, that's all."
Lounge act
Also on Monday, the
county commission held a
public hearing for proposed
amendments to ordinances
regarding sexually oriented
businesses.
The public hearing was

afternoons were spent enjoy-

T.B. would pull hibiscus
flowers off blooming bushes,
for instance, and suck the
nectar. There were various cit-

fruit, cut out an upside-down
cone and squeeze juice from
it. And there were traveler's
palms.
These held water.
Thrust a knife into one and
out came water.
Bingo! This $20 plant

Top 10 Venice issues


Crossed off


Venice City Manager
Marty Black lists these items
as some of the most impor-
tant ones for city council to
tackle in the short term.
1. Property tax reform -
Anticipating future state ini-
tiatives "aimed at further
reductions to local taxing
and fee-based authority,"
council may have to consid-
er cutting back on services
or increasing the millage
rate and other fees.
2. Tra Ponti workshops -
The upcoming quasi-judi-
cial workshops on Tra Ponti
on the Waterfront are sched-
uled for Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. and
Dec. 7 at 9 a.m. at city hall.
Previous discussions cen-
tered around height. Other
topics to be discussed:
widening the Venice Avenue
Bridge, condo/hotel occu-
pancy limits and limiting
the number of allowable
units. If council decides to
repeal the commercial
mixed-use zoning district,
the workshops could be
moot.
3. Pier Group litigation -
The previous mayor and
city council initiated litiga-
tion against the Pier Group
over a flawed contract. The
case went to court-ordered
mediation and settlement
negotiations are currently
under way. Black is asking


council if it will require an
additional "shade" meeting
to review the case.
4. Fire service fee The
city's consultant and fire
department will present re-
sults of a fire service fee
analysis authorized earlier
this year by city council. The
results will be presented for
consideration at the Dec. 11
meeting.
5. Comprehensive plan
amendments Council
already authorized the ctiy
manager to seek an exten-
sion of the comp plan revi-
sions filing deadline. Mayor
Ed Martin said he intends to
methodically review height
and density limits outlined
in plan section by section.
6. Building height limit or
development moratorium
- Black anticipates a for-
mal discussion to establish
an overall community height
limit of 45 feet with an addi-
tional 10 feet for special
exceptions. Council mem-
bers Tuesday imposed a tem-
porary moratorium on devel-
opment petitions while they
consider or pursue restric-
tions.
7. Airport landscaping -
The budget includes $50,000
for landscaping between the
airport and adjoining resi-
dential areas. Black asked


the airport managers to
make it a priority. He's ask-
ing council to confirm
whether this remains a pri-
ority.
8. Airport design char-
rettes The planned de-
sign workshops were post-
poned by the city manager
until the airport master plan
is approved by council and
the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration signs off on the
plan. Black is asking if coun-
cil agrees with that proce-
dure.
9. Airport lease policy -
The airport advisory board
and airport manager have
been reviewing policies on
future leases. New proce-
dures require council to
authorize negotiations or
meetings with existing or
new tenants before staff or
attorneys proceed, to avoid
costly delays. The city is also
considering a policy to pro-
hibit or limit subleases.
10. Airport runway 4-22
reconstruction Out-
standing questions relating
to safety area standards and
the federal government's
"continuing delays in aut-
horizing ,the current fiscal
year budget for the Federal
Aviation Administration"
mean the city doesn't expect
to receive a grant to repave
runway 4-22.

Tra Ponti revised
The height limit could
affect the Tra Ponti at the
Waterfront condo/hotel pro-
ject scheduled for a public
hearing and workshop on
Thursday at 6 p.m. in coun-
cil chambers.
Attorney Jeff Boone, who
represents Waterford Com-
panies, reconfirmed at Tues-
day's meeting that company
president Mike Miller would
be unveiling a scaled back
project, going from six stories
to four-story buildings.
"Current plans are the
structures are no higher
than four floors... three sto-
ries over one (parking),"
Boone said.
He also surprised the
audience by announcing
the condo-hotel proposal
was off the table.
"He (Miller) decided to
eliminate the proposal for a
condo-hotel as part of the


project. The plan is for the
entire complex to be a ho-
tel," Boone said.
The condo proposal rais-
ed numerous questions
from council members, like
whether to regulate the
number of condo units al-
lowed. Eventually the pro-
ject was put on the back
burner while city elections
unfolded.
CMU revisited
Council also gave direc-
tion to the city manager to
come up with alternatives
to the current commercial
mixed-use zoning district
under which Tra Ponti was
developed.
Council Member John
Moore again made an im-
passioned plea to repeal the
CMU zoning designation.
"It was a bad ordinance
when'we passed it two years
ago. It's bad today. It isn't
going to get any better," said
Moore.


"It is inherently (flawed),
with the continued need for
supervision and regulation
by the city something
frankly we're not prepared
to do. I would like to get us
out of that business. The
only way to do that is to
repeal it."
How that impacts Thurs-
day's Tra Ponti workshop
was unclear.
"I think Tra Ponti can be
built under existing zoning
regulations, even if it means
modifying (zoning laws) to
accommodate that. I would
be willing to do that,"
Moore said.
. Mayor Martin said he
had "very much the same
view."
"I feel as though a hotel in
that area would be very valu-
able to the downtown,"
Martin said. "I don't know it
would be necessary to have a
CMU district for this project."
Other council members
were unsure, however, if the


city should take the bold
step of doing away with the
zoning district altogether.
Council Member John
Simmonds asked what ef-
fect rewriting the zoning
law, or repealing it, for
example, would have on the
Tra Ponti workshop later
this week.
Would the repeal of the
CMU district render Tra
Ponti moot?
"Probably, but it needs
much more research," said
city attorney Anderson. "I'd
want to make sure there are
no vested rights (regarding)
changingthe rules on clients."
Another option, said
Black, is for council to take
final action on Tra Ponti,
then repeal or revise the
CMU zoning law afterward.
"We may have to inflict a
little bit of pain now in order
to avoid a lot of pain down
the road," Moore said.

the first of two planned
assemblies on adult enter-
tainment ordinance revi-
sions, which could force
establishments such as the
Cheetah Lounge on Route
301 to relocate.
Many dancers and em-
ployees from the business
demonstrated outside the
commission chambers be-
fore the hearing, holding


signs reading, "Keep Church
& State Separate," "Honk For
Freedom" and "Time For
New Commissioners."
Proponents of quashing
the amendments included
patrons, lawyers and civil
rights activists who ques-
tioned their reasonable-
ness.
"They're trying to take
liquor away and impose all


kinds of restrictions on us,
which would pretty much
put us out of business," said
Ken Tatarow, one of the
owners of the Cheetah
Lounge. "There's never been
any prostitution at our club,
ever."
Esther Rockwell, director
of the Florida Family Organ-
ization, disagreed.
"They cater to fantasies


that destroy families, hurt
women and children, lead
to increased crime and
decrease property values,"
Rockwell said. "They don't
care how much they destroy
our society as long as they
make their profit."
The second public hear-
ing is tentatively scheduled
for Feb. 19.

ER doctors back on board with Blue Cross


BY AUDREY BLACKWELL
STAFF WRITER

Ayear-and-a-half dry spell
between Venice Regional
Medical Center emergency
room physicians and Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of Florida
should end by Nov. 30,
according to Scott Fell D.O.
Since April-2006, the ER
physician group has not
been paid directly by the
Florida insurer, leaving pa-
tients on their own to settle
charges for their emergency
medical care.
Fell said BC/BS has con-


tinued to make payments to
patients according to their
plan's coverage amounts.
The responsibility then
rests with the patient to pay
the ER doctors, which does-
n't always happen, he said.
As with other physician
groups that practice at the
hospital- pathologists and
radiologists emergency
room physicians are not
employed by the hospital
and bill separately from the
hospital for their services.
This is usually explained to
patients when they sign the
admission paperwork, Fell


said.
In the past, the ER doc-
tors had contracted with
BC/BS Florida for appropri-
ate rates to charge, and the
system was equitable. But
that began to change two to
three years ago, Fell said,
when the rates BC/BS nego-
tiated were deemed well
below market value.
"We went nowhere with
the negotiations, and in
April 2006 became nonpar-
ticipating with them," he
said. "We tried several times
to get fair rates."


Going pro
Fell said the physician
group hired a professional
consultant to look at the
group's operations, specifi-
cally the insurance, and the
consultant recommended a
certain rate level with Blue
Cross. Again, the physicians
tried to negotiate with the
insurer, to no avail. Another
six months went by, and
Blue Cross said to wait until
the end of the year to con-
tinue the process.
The physicians kept in
communication with Blue
Cross, and by the end of


September the insurer met
the physicians at a level that
was not as much as they
needed, but was more fair
than any other rate the
company had proposed.
"So we signed a contract
a week ago and are waiting
for them to sign it so we can
get an effective date," Fell
said.
Fell did not say what the
new rate would be with
BC/BS of Florida, because it
is a "contractual thing, so I
can't talk about it."
Not all insurance compa-
nies negotiate contracts


with the emergency room
physicians, and in the ma-
jority of cases, the ER doc-
tors are paid by other insur-
ance plans.
"We only contract with
Blue Cross and not with
other insurance compa-
nies," Fell said.
Fell hopes to finalize the
contract with BC/BS Florida
in the next three to four
weeks.
"Maybe sooner," he said.

Citizens group wants another growth-related vote


BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS

A Sarasota County citi-
zens group that successfully
campaigned to force super-
majority commission votes
on comprehensive plan
proposals to increase either
density or intensity are
already back with a second
charter change related to
new growth.
The county corrmission
discussed the latest petition
drive by Citizens for Sen-
sible Growth. If approved by
voters, the initiative would
force a referendum if the
county attempts to move its
urban service boundary
east to accommodate more
development.
The county established
an urban service boundary
in its comprehensive plan to
discourage uncontrolled
growth east of Interstate 75.
With a few notable excep-
tions, it has not approved
comprehensive plan chang-
es east of the artificial
boundary.
Two years ago, it made an
exception and adopted a
2050 Plan that will'allow
'villages" and "hamlets"
east of 1-75 if developers
amass density and build
new communities in desig-
nated areas. The plan took
several years to devise and,
so far, there have been no
takers.
Now Citizens for Sensible
Growth wants voters to have
a say if the county attempts
to allow any more density or
intensity increases east of
the boundary. It has submit-
ted petitions with more
than 12,000 signatures to
Supervisor of Elections
Kathy Dent.
Referral
Under normal circum-
stances, Dent must hold a
special election within 60
days after the county com-
mission is notified and exer-
cises its .authority to call for
a countywide referendum.
The question is how fast the
growth-related question will
appear on a ballot.
"There isn't enough time
for this to appear on the Jan.
29 presidential primary bal-
lot," Commission Chair

The new Christmas list: recalled toys


BY ELAINE
ALLEN-EMRICH
STAFF WRITER
Not Curious George!
Just when you thought it
was fine to pass on your
childhood favorite, a toy
maker in China spoiled the
tradition.
Earlier this year, Marvel
Enterprises Inc. halted ship-
ments of its Curious George
toys because they were
found to contain 10 times
the legal maximum amount
of lead.
Curious George is just
-one of a multitude of toys
recalled this year. Added to
the list this month was the
very popular Aqua Dots.
The recall came so fast, ad-
vertisers didn't have time to
pull the colorful toys from


some pre-printed Black Fri-
day sale circulars.
Lead wasn't blamed for
that recall; however, more
than 4 million Chinese-
made Aqua Dots toys were
recalled because they may
contain a chemical that, if
swallowed, can lead to a
coma or seizures, or even
fatalities, according to the
U.S. Consumer Product Safe-
ty Commission.
The Aqua Dots toy made
Wal-Mart's top 12 holiday
toys. The toymaker alleged-
ly strayed from the chemi-
cals normally used to create
the toy and used a chemical
that, if ingested, turns into a
toxic substance similar to a
date-rape drug.
Children who, swallow
the beads can lose con-
sciousness, or have respira-


tory depression or seizures,
said CPSC spokeswoman
JulieVallese.
With so many recalls so
close to the holidays, some
parents are concerned.
"What toys aren't on the
recall list?" said Angel Ra-
kes, a mother of two. "It's
not just the off-brand, but
the popular toys that have
been recalled. This has
pushed us toward an elec-
tronic Christmas. You don't
see a recall on video games
yet."
Scary
Rakes subscribes to the
U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission's free
Web site at www.cpsc.gov/
cpsclist.aspx.
This gives up-to-date in-
formation about recalled


toys, products, vehicles, ap-
pliances and other house-
hold items.
"Every day I'm seeing
new things added to the re-
call list," she said. "It's really
scary. You have to bring the
list with you and do the
research before you buy the
toys or switch to toys you
know weren't made in Ch-
ina."
At Kmart, once a recall is
issued, toys or products are
quickly removed from the
shelves.
"We keep a close eye on
recalls," said Murdock store
manager Ed Shavrnoch. 'A
lot of our employees have
children. We understand
how important it is to re-
move potentially harmful
toys from the shelves."
Shavrnoch recommends


shoppers spend a little time
researching toys on the
recall list before shopping
for holiday gifts. Customers
should be reminded that it's
not only toys, but many
children's trinkets such as
charm bracelets and neck-
laces sold by Buy-Rite, to
SpongeBob SquarePants
character address books
and journals, that have
been recalled this year.
Hot-line
Although many products
on the recall list have not
caused illness in children,
parents are warned that
damage from lead exposure
often produces subtle eff-
ects on brain development
that aren't immediately rec-
ognized, according to the
CPSC.


Some of the toys being
recalled were sold years ago,
so there is a possibility that
toys deteriorated and lead
paint cracked and peeled,
increasing the risk of expo-
sure.
"We will take back the
toys and other products on
the recall list," Shavrnoch
said. "However, it's really
important to save receipts."
Due to sophisticated
scams, stores are making it
harder to return merchan-
dise without a receipt.
The Consumer Product
Safety Commission releases
information about recalls
and other product safety
concerns almost daily. The
hot-line number is (800)
638-2772.

Taxes, development top resident concerns


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

People love living here,
.but they're worried about
their pocketbooks.
That's how Susan A.
MacManus of the Univer-
sity of South Florida sum-
med up the results of the
16th annual Citizen Opin-
ion Survey, presented Mon-
day to the Sarasota County
Commission.
"I would add that they do
think they're getting their
money's worth in services
and programs, but they


always have good recom-
mendations for what should
be done with their money,"
MacManus said.
The poll, a telephone
survey of a random sample
of 800 Sarasota County resi-
dents 18 years of age and
older, was conducted from
Sept. 5-18 by Susan Schuler
& Associates Inc. However,
it was designed and ana-
lyzed by MacManus, a pro-
fessor of government and
international affairs at
USF's College of Arts and
Sciences.
Although 85 percent of


those surveyed rated the
quality of life in Sarasota as
"excellent" (37 percent) or
"good" (48 percent), the
four most frequently cited
issues facing the county are
familiar ones:
Taxes (21.4 percent)
Population growth/new
development (20.8 percent)
Traffic/transportation
(13.8 percent)
Affordable housing (7.4
percent)
Home rule
County Commissioner
Joe Barbetta remarked on


the 69 per-
cent of re-
spondents
who believe .-w .,
the Sarasota '
County --
Commis -
sion should "
control the
property tax Barbetta
rate, as com-
pared to the 18 percent that
feel the state should do it.
"I just hope that the
Legislature will recognize
that," Barbetta said. "It's
been one of the biggest
issues in this state for years.


And they don't seem to
grasp it yet. It's why we have
serious problems state-
wide."
The most frequently
cited pressures felt by re-
spondents were property
taxes (29 percent) and
homeowners insurance (24
percent). Seventy-four per-
cent favored the recently
passed so-called penny
sales tax and felt its spend-
ing priorities should be
roads (32 percent), schools
(9 percent), parks (5.5 per-
cent), water and sewer (4
percent) and sidewalks (3


percent).
MacManus was not sur-
prised by results of the sur-
vey.
"This is a county that
likes its government's ser-
vices and programs and
gives pretty high marks to
county employees' respon-
siveness," MacManus said.
"But local officials have to
give their message a little bit
more often and in a clearer
tone to state legislators. And
so do the citizens who the

County commission district lines will stay put for now


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

Following a public hear-
ing Monday, the Sarasota
County Commission unani-
mously voted to postpone
adjusting the boundaries of
its five districts until after
the 2010 Census.
"The gross (Census)
numbers will come out
early," Anne McClung, di-
rector of planning services
for the county, told the
commissioners. "But I think
the more detailed informa-
tion coming out after that
may force you to look at
(redistricting) no earlier
than 2013."
The decision elated
many in the commission
chambers, including Jenni-
fer Cohen a North Port
resident and an announced
candidate in 2008 for Coun-
ty Commissioner Shannon
Staub's District 3 seat.
Cohen said current redis-
tricting options use outdat-
ed population information.,
"The data is from 2000,"
Cohen said. "It is no longer
accurate and does not re-


flect the population growth
in the southern districts. We
should not attempt to
redraw lines when the data
we have available to use is
not current."
Whole county
Cohen offered another
option one that would
lump North Port and Eng-
lewood into District 3.
"We have no commis-
sioner that lives in our dis-
trict," Cohen said, "no one
that actually supports North
Port or Englewood."
Staub, who lives in South
Venice, disagreed with Co-
hen's assessment.
"You might want to get
down there and talk to
them," Staub told Cohen. "I
actually do feel that they
feel they have been repre-
sented. And not by one
. commissioner."
"We all represent the
whole county," said County
Commissioner Joe Barbetta.
"We've got to get off that talk
about each commissioner
representing only one dis-
trict."

", fI People
who spend many
hours working with
vibrating tools and who
experience numbness in
their fingers may be
suffering from Hand-Arm
Vibration Syndrome. Symptoms of
this condition include pain, tingling,
numbness, and increased sensitivity to
cold. Smokters and people who work in
cold temperatures may be particularly
vulnerable to this disorder, which stems
from constriction of the arteries.
Research has shown that, as the arteries
in the hand are subjected to prolonged
vibration, they become constricted,
which may, in turn, starve nerves. At
some point, it is possible that the
numbness caused by the vibration
could lead to permanent damage,.
Needless to say, those who
experience numbness are

OUR VIEW



Deal with the new political reality


or some perspective on the recent
Venice City Council election, we
turn to what some may consider an
unlikely example: Mike Miller.,
Arguably, Miller and by extension the
people who work with and for him had
the most to lose if three avowed slow-growth
candidates replaced three not-so-slow-
growth council members. And that's what
happened, so Miller obviously is packing up
and heading to greener pastures.
Oh, he's not? Why isn't he, of all people,
abandoning ship?
For one thing, this has been his home
for more than 20 years. He and his wife,
Georgia, have contributed heavily to
making Venice a better place. to live, and


they know this isn't the first or biggest
downturn in the city's economy.
For another thing, Miller is smart
enough to know that an election isn't about
who you wanted to win, it's about who did.
What's he supposed to do, pick up his ball
and go home for a year or more, hoping for
friendlier faces on city council?
Miller, like many of us, needs to make
a living. He has stated publicly that the
election at least brought some clarity to
council, and that he's getting back to
work. Makes sense to us.
There are, of course, people in Venice
who think the election of Ed Martin, Sue
Lang and Ernie Zavodnyik is a disaster.
That's a rather harsh judgment, since the


three of them hadn't even had a regular
council meeting until Tuesday. We think
they deserve a chance to do something
before facing any criticism, and we're
sure their premature critics would feel
the same way if the shoe were on the
other foot.
Refusing to jump on the doom-and-
gloom bandwagon hasn't endeared us to
those folks, who were already upset that
we didn't endorse Fred Hammett, despite
the obvious fact that our endorsement
would have done him exactly as much
good as it did Bill Willson and Jim Woods.
This was a year in which the last thing
you wanted on your political resume was
the word "incumbent." It was evident in


the city of Venice election and in the vote
on the super-majority referendum a
large majority of people wanted greater
constraints on growth and showed it with
their votes.
The incumbents and their supporters
and the challengers and theirs had differ-
ent visions of Venice's future, but all said
they were motivated by their love for the
city. Assuming that love still exists -
could it be extinguished by a single elec-
tion? the only sensible course for them
and for Venice is the one Miller has cho-
sen: dealing with the new political reality.
It's an age-old decision: be part of the
solution or part of the problem.
Seems like a no-brainer to us.

Answering questions on the phosphate deal


SHANNON STAUB
GUEST COLUMNIST


Q. Why are you negotiating
with the Mosaic when the gov-
ernments have been successful
in litigation?
. A. Local governments
and the water authority
have spent more than $15
million combined on per-
mit challenges and have
not stopped a single mine.
They lost the hearing on
the Manson-Jenkins case,
the first phosphate case,
and the Ona mine hearing,
although it is still on
appeal.
Charlotte County won
the administrative hearing
on the Altman mine, but
then Mosaic changed the
application and re-filed it
with the Department of
Environmental Protection.
Charlotte County settled, so
the mine has all of its DEP
permits.
Because the permit/liti-
gation is a revolving door,
even when the govern-
ments "win" a case, all
Mosaic has to do is change
the application to reflect
the new provisions, then
refile the application, and
the cycle begins again.
So the governments win
a battle by gaining some
new regulations, but lose
the war because the regula-
tions are included in a
refilled permit, which the
governments have to chal-
lenge again.


Q. Why not wait for an agree-
ment after an areawide environ-
mental impact study is conduct-
ed by the Army Corps of En-
gineers?
A. An AEIS may or may
not be undertaken by the
Army Corps. If one is
undertaken, there could be
a moratorium on Corps
permits not only for min-
ing, but for agriculture,
development and govern-
ment projects. This could
last for two years or more.
It is likely that the agri-
culture and development
industry would oppose an
AEIS. Some governments
with planned public inter-
est projects might also
oppose an AEIS.
The scope of an AEIS, if
undertaken by the Army
Corps, might include the '
county areas of Polk,
Hardee and DeSoto. These
counties want mining
operations in their coun-
ties. It is likely they will
oppose an AEIS.
The Corps indicates
there is no funding for an
AEIS and with potential
opposition from counties
and others, it is not likely
an AEIS would be under-
taken by the Corps.
An AEIS by the Corps
does not include uplands
or isolated wetlands since
they are not federal juris-
diction.
There is an EIS cumula-
tive impact review pending
release by the Army Corps
of the Ona application. This
EIS evaluates all foresee-
able mining areas through
2025, including those cur-
rently active or projected to
be developed by Mosaic or
other mining companies.
The review covers water
quality and quantity, land
use cover/wetlands, and
fish and wildlife resources.
Per the proposed agree-


ment, this Ona EIS cumula-
tive impact review will be
evaluated by the govern-
ments and Mosaic to deter-
mine if additional analysis
is warranted.
Counties and the
authority would still be able
to support and lobby for an
AEIS, per changes at the
Charlotte County
Commission meeting.
Q. What is the purpose of the
proposed settlementagreement?
A. To provide immediate
stronger environmental
protections to the Peace
and Myakka river basins
and Charlotte Harbor and
increase water supply
through cooperation rather
than costly, never-ending
litigation.
Q. Aren't most of the issues in
the proposed agreement the
same as required now by DEP?
A. No, there are stronger
environmental protections
that go beyond DEP
requirements.
Q. What are these stronger
environmental protections?
A. Clay-settling areas will
be prohibited within the
100-year floodplains of the
Peace and Myakka rivers
and seven other major trib-
utaries. Clay-settling ponds
will be prohibited from an
additional 11 tributaries in
a preservation areas depict-
ed on maps in the agree-
ment. Clay-settling ponds
will also have new and
higher design and con-
struction standards for hur-
ricane protection.
Mining within the 100-
year floodplains in the
Peace and Myakka river
basins and seven other
major tributaries will be
prohibited. Mitigation of
other perennial streams
will be at a higher than DEP
ratio of 1.25-1 by either
restoring other stream seg-
ments or recreating existing


natural stream segments.
Wetlands will be better
protected by stricter stan-
dards to prevent dewater-
ing impacts to wetlands in
the Peace and Myakka river
basins.
Additional design stan-
dards and criteria related to
water quality and quantity
will ensure that future min-
ing activities do not cumu-
latively cause adverse
impacts to downstream
water quality.
Q. What happens if there is a
spill, like Piney Point?
A. There will be no new
chemical processing plants
or gypsum stacks. If there is
a spill from a clay-settling
area, Mosaic will be
required to fulfill the clean-
up specified in state law.
Mosaic will additionally
prove $50 million more
insurance with the govern-
ments named as insured.
Q. How will we know if the
water quality or quantity is nega-
tively affected by mining opera-
tions?
A. There will be a moni-
toring and assessment plan
developed and implement-
ed that will provide data as
to any impacts. If negative
impacts are found, Mosaic
will correct what is needed
immediately. Mosaic will
finance the monitoring and
assessment plan, which will
be much like the 4-year old
Horse Creek monitoring
plan.
0. How can the governments
give away the right to challenge
permit applications for 30 years?
A. Rather than 30 years
there will be a 15-year term
of the agreement, renew-
able if desired by the par-
ties for an additional 15
years. The reason the 30-
year term was initially sug-
gested was so the stricter

requirements of the agree-
ment would continue after
the permitting and into the
time of mining activity for
the 30 years.
Both Mosaic and the
governments will relin-
quish the ability to chal-
lenge permits. With at least
three future major water
supply projects to be
undertaken by counties or
the authority, the lack of a
challenge would be helpful
to maintain necessary
timelines for water
resource development.
Governments will retain

there is an emergency that
threatens the public.health,

retain the ability to seek
legislative or regulatory
changes and will continue
to report suspected viola-
tions of law.
Because of requirements
to meet at least annually, to
have mining plans dis-
closed and to provide input
routinely, mining permit
applications should pro-
vide no surprises to govern-
ments.
Q. If there are no permit chal-
lenges, how can. governments
have any input into future min-
ing?
A. An arbitration process
will replace the litigation
process. The arbitration
process will last the life of
the agreement rather than
just at the application of
permit stage. Arbitration
will be available for govern-

ments on issues during
mining activities.
Q. What if Mosaic sells the
business? Does this agreement
bind future owners?
A. There is a lengthy
process of notification
binding future owners who
will continue mining. This
process is strong enough to
void the agreement of sale
if the purchaser does not
agree to the binding agree-
ment.
If Mosaic goes bankrupt,
what are the protections for
us?
Is the agreement recorded
on Mosaic holdings so the
governments have some
standing?


Mosaic agreed to place
covenants and record the
deed restrictions on the
specified lands in the
agreement at the time the
permits are approved by
DEE This would mean that
all the lands designated
should have recorded
covenants before the 15-
year initial period since
most permits should be
applied for and approved
during that time frame.
Q. Is there anything more that
governments get out of the
agreement?
A. Mosaic will provide
storage of water for season-
al enhancement of the
Peace River. Mosaic will
provide at no cost to the
governments property for
15,000-20,000 acre-feet vol-
ume of water reservoir in
the Peace River Basin.
Mosaic and the authority
will evaluate the potential
for seasonal water
enhancement in the
Myakka River Basin.
If Mosaic sells the busi-
ness to another company
the agreement will be bind-
ing on the successor com-
pany.

DEREK DUNN-RANKIN
GUEST COLUMNIST


Can you believe it?
Thanksgiving is just behind
us and Christmas is just
around the comer. By the
time we try to carry out our
NewYear's resolution to lose
all the weight gained in
November and December,
we will be voting in the pres-
idential primary and decid-
ing if we want to rewrite the
state constitution, as sug-
gested by the Legislature.
We can count on Thanks-
giving, Christmas and the
extra pounds. Passing a con-
stitutional amendment at
the end of January may be
another matter. The official
ballot summary takes more
than a minute of thoughtful
reading.
The current homestead
exemption of $25,000 can
be increased by counties to
$50,000 for low-income res-
idents 65 and older, whose
annual income is less than
$20,000 a year. The amend-
ment proposes to increase
everyone's homestead ex-
emption. Just to complicate
matters, the additional
homestead exemptionwould
not count when it comes to
school taxes.
The proposed amend-
ment will increase the
homestead exemption by
exempting the property


The Legislature's New Year's gift


value between $50,000 and
$75,000. There are other
complicated details tacked
on.
For example, the amend-
ment provides for transfer-
ring accumulated Save Our
Homes benefits in the event
of a sale of a present home
and the purchase of a new
homestead within two
years. Also, the benefit will
be retroactive to any homes
sold in 2007. The reduced
tax base applies to all taxes,
including school funding.
The Save Our Homes law
limits the increase in as-
sessed property values for
tax purposes to 3 percent a
year for homesteaders. The
new law would throw a
bone to our snowbird friends.
Increases in their assessed
values for tax purposes
would be limited to 10 per-
cent a year, but this possible
tax break for our nonvoting
visitors does not apply to
school district taxes.
The 10-percent increase
in taxable values also ap-
plies to commercial proper-
ty. It offers perhaps a little
something for the small
business owner, but this
provision does not apply to
school district taxes, which.
will be on the full market
value of the property.
As a compromise be-
tween the state House and
Senate in special session,
the proposed amendment
leaves much to be desired.
It does not simplify our
property tax laws. While
softening some of the cur-
rent inequities, it introduces
several new ones. The prop-
erty tax burden will contin-
ue to be shifted to new
arrivals, renters and those
whose primary home is not
in our community. It does


not cut back the legislators'
spending, but will certainly
hamper providing first-class
local infrastructure and ser-
vices.
The proposed constitu-
tional amendment also pro-
vides a personal property
exemption of $25,000. The
Supreme Court must ap-
prove the language by the
first week of December for
the amendment to appear
on the Jan. 29 ballot.
The Legislature claims
the whole package will be a
$12 billion tax break. Other
estimates are an average of
$240 a year per homestead-
er.
Early polls indicate that
with all its rewards to voters,
it currently has the support
of less than 60 percent of the
voters needed to make it
law.

Feds considering areawide impact study


BY GREG MARTIN
STAFF WRITER

Officials in the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers have
recently been discussing
the possibility of launching
an areawide Environmental
Impact Statement on phos-
phate mining in the Peace
River watershed, according
to Chuck Schnepel, district
chief of permitting for the
U.S. Army Corps of En-
gineers.
If commissioned, such a
study would answer a long-
standing demand by several
coastal counties and num-
erous environmental groups
that have been calling for a
comprehensive study for
about a decade.
"There's a lot of discus-
sion regarding a regional
EIS for phosphate mining,"
Schnepel said, adding that
the discussions are being
held "in-house."


But the federal officials
are far from reaching a con-
clusion, he said.
Schnepel said the study,
while focusing on phos-
phate mining, would en-
compass all similar impacts
in the Peace River basin
caused by agriculture, ur-
ban development and even
municipal projects.
Schnepel said he's "not a
proponent" of conducting
the study. That's because
the corps lacks the funds to
pay for it, he said.
In the past, the corps
refused to authorize the
study because agency staff-
ers "didn't feel it was neces-
sary," he said.
Within the past year,
however, Charlotte, Lee and
Sarasota counties each ag-
reed to contribute $500,000
toward the cost of the study.
The offers came during .a
campaign to renew the call
for the study led by the


group, Protect our Water-
shed.
If the counties and
Mosaic paid 100 percent of
the costs, "we'd be a partici-
pant," Schnepel said.
The corps would likely
play a supervisory role, he
said. It would provide a pro-
cess, hold meetings to
determine the scope of the
study, help select a consul-
tant and oversee the pro-
gress.

No details
Charlotte, Lee and Sara-
sota counties and the Peace
River/Manasota Regional
Water Supply Authority are
currently engaged in settle-
ment negotiations with Mo-
saic Fertilizer. Under the lat-
est draft of the so-called
Phosphate Compact, the
local governments would
agree not to challenge per-
mits for future phosphate
mining, and Mosaic would


take extra steps to prevent
or mitigate its impacts to
water quality and quantity.
During a negotiation ses-
sion, Charlotte County
Commissioner Tricia Duffy
said she asked Mosaic to
consider supporting the
areawide study as part of
the compact. Duffy, who
was appointed to represent
the commission in the
negotiations, said she was
making the request on
behalf of Charlotte County
Commissioner Adam Cum-
mings, an outspoken advo-
cate of the regional study.
Duffy said Mosaic's team
pointed out the company
has already conducted a
site-specific Environmental
Impact Statement for its
proposed 20,676-acre Ona
mine. That mine would
straddle Horse Creek in
western Hardee County.
"None of us can afford to
spend taxpayers' money on


studies that have already
(been) done or partially
done," Duffy said. "So, the
smart thing would be to
take the data from one
study and utilize it in a
manner that is productive."
Mosaic spokesman Da-
vid Townsend said the com-
pany is not prepared to
endorse an areawide study
at this time.
"We just believe there
would need to be an objec-
tive cost/benefit analysis
before such a project would
be undertaken," he said.
Townsend pointed out
the talk about the study has
provided no details.
"We don't know what the
funding would be the, the
cost, the scope, or how it
would affect our rights as a
property owner," he said.

No answers
An areawide EIS is differ-
ent from a site-specific


study because it would pro-
vide "teeth" that the federal
government could use to
regulate development for all
phosphate mining permits
throughout the watershed,
said Ed de la Parte, Char-
lotte's special counsel on
phosphate.,
"There should definitely
be a study," said U.S. Geo-
logical Survey scientist Bill
Lewelling, who has studied
the upper Peace River
hydrology since the 1980s.
A smattering of govern-
ment-funded studies have
examined site-specific im-
pacts over the years, but none
have assessed the cumulative
impacts, he said.
"I was just always sur-
prised that mining contin-
ues to move south and the
questions still aren't being
answered," he said.

Trolley could be Siesta parking solution


BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS


A Siesta Village parking
problem ignited by business
owners who remodel shops
and convert them into luc-
rative restaurant and bar
operations has finally per-
suaded Sarasota County to
look at other busy tourist
communities and deter-
mine where they put lots of
cars.
"Other beach communi-
ties don't seem to have the
parking problems Siesta
Village does," said Zoning
Administrator Tina Craw-
ford. "This is an opportuni-
ty. All we're asking is that staff
be allowed to devote some
time on options and take a
look elsewhere."
g .. The village parking sittu-
:don began to boil over apou--
pie of winter seasons ago
when several tow truck com-
panies were turned loose on,
shoppers who parked in
spaces specifically designat-


ed for certain establishments
when they couldn't find any
place else.
It mushroomed into a full-
blown mutiny this autumn
when a new bar and restau-
rant known as "The Hub"
received county permits for a
150-seat enterprise with very
little on-site parking. After a
wave of complaints from
other business owners, the
county backtracked.
A certificate of occupancy
has so far been withheld from
owner Chris Brown, who has
completed construction and
wants to open for business at
5148 Ocean Blvd. He has
sued the county in circuit
court to force the issuance of
a certificate.
The county commission
heard from several business
owners, ho,,,beleve, one of,
the parking solutions is an
island trolley system that
would allow residents to
commute to and from the vil-
lage without using cars.
"There is enough density


on Siesta Key to support such
a system," said Troy Syprett,
who owns and manages
The Daiquiri Deck restau-
rant and bar at 5250 Ocean
Blvd. "We want to work with
the county on an efficient
trolley system for the key."
Syprett and one of his
business associates, Russell
Matthes, have operated a
couple of old trolleys for the
last six years to move winter
visitors between their lodg-
ings and the village.
"We've been checking out
what other tourist communi-
ties in Florida are doing,"
Matthes said. "The question
is whether it would be cost-
effective here."
Mark Smith, president of
the Siesta Village Merchants
Association, suggested, "We
jiave,,,a parking efficiency .
What we're requesting is
that the parking standards
in place be enforced. There
also needs to be changes ....
We're at the saturation point
and hurting ourselves."

Decision postponed on project near Englewood Hospital


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER

A mixed-use develop-
ment proposed for two
parcels totaling 81 acres
around Englewood Com-
munity Hospital is down,
but not out.
The Sarasota County
commissioners delayed until
Dec. 11 a decision on a com-
prehensive plan amendment


that would help move the
project forward.
If passed, the amend-
ment would redesignate the
land from one dwelling unit
per 2 acres to between three
and four dwellings per acre.
County Commissioner
Jon Thaxton cited concerns
about the vulnerability of
the land near the com-
munity of Stillwater to
storm surge from hurri-


canes, even though he ad-
mitted he liked the project.
"It's too strategic a loca-
tion not to intensify," Thax-
ton said, adding it was diffi-
cult to fully embrace devel-
opment in an area so prone
to flooding.
County Commissioner
Shannon Staub favored the
project, despite the fact that
a comprehensive plan
amendment accommodat-


ing it would require a
change in the Urban Service
Area Boundary a key rea-
son staff recommended
denial.
Staub believed the pro-
ject would complement
Stillwater as well as the
nearby hospital and YMCA,
because its "urban in-fill
site" designation would
serve as a potential anchor
to provide county health


department offices and oth-
er social services, including
child care.
"The area is begging for a
little bit more density,"
Staub said. "I think it fits."
Thaxton wanted the de-
veloper to reshape the site
plan by moving proposed

that the discussion warrant-

The Venice High School
boys soccer team moved to
.500 overall and in the dis-
trict Tuesday with a win
over Bayshore High School.
The Indians coasted 3-0
behind goals from Javier
Aguadelo, Mark Farudi and
Joey Carlin.
It was a slow start for
Venice, as the Indians failed
to score before halftime. But
the defense held, and the
score was tied at 0-0 at in-
termission.
"We feel really good
about our defense," Head
Coach Seth Jones said. "We
do have a strong defense
this year. Even midfield and
offensively we really like thie
looks of our team."
The Indians have re-
bounded nicely after a sea-

a little slow out of the start-
ing blocks Tuesday against
Charlotte High School.
The Indians found them-
selves trailing 24-6 early in
the second quarter, only to
rally and take a 29-26 half-
time lead. By the final whis-
tle, Venice had held on to
win 62-54.
"Every district game is
going to be a battle and we
know that," Venide Head
Coach Bruce Reichenbach
said. "There's no teams that
we can take lightly right
now because we're not real-
ly playing very well right
now."
The first quarter was one
of those times. Venice had
more turnovers (five) than
rebounds (four) in the
opening period. But they

Farudi started the scor-
ing for the Indians about
two minutes into the sec-
ond half. Carlin extended
the lead to 2-0 about 10


turned it around in the sec-
ond with 12 rebounds and
just three turnovers as they
outscored the Tarpons 23-3.
"I like that we didn't quit
getting down in the first
quarter," Reichenbach said.

"But we've got a lot of of
work to do offensively and
defensively."
The Indians continued
their hot streak into the sec-
ond half, leading by as
much as 17. But Charlotte
didn't quit either.
The Tarpons fought back


minutes later.
Aguadelo, though, had
the shot of the night that
put Venice up 3-0. On a
Venice corner kick, a Bay-
shore player headed the ball
first, but Aguadelo kicked it
into the net on the rebound
for the score.
The Indians' first two
games so far this season
have been district games
and there are no breathers
in sight. Venice has two
more district games coming
up against Lakewood Ranch
High School Thursday and
then against Bayshore again
on Tuesday.
"That wasn't necessarily
on purpose," Jones said of
the critical early-season
scheduling. "But we might
as well jump out feet first.
We're just going to take it
one game at a time."

in the fourth as Venice got
into some foul trouble with
Lauren Ramey checking out
with 7:10 to play, followed
by Kaylee Ream exiting with
2:48. Charlotte closed the
lead down to three before
time expired.
"We're fouling too
much," Reichenbach said.
"It's getting kind of ridicu-
lous with the foul situation.
We've got a deep bench, but
not that deep."
Diana Mehserle led Ven-
ice with 13 points, followed
bRem with 12. Jen Tho-
n finished with nine
and Ramey finished with
seven.
Next up for Venice is a
home game against Lake-
wood Ranch Thursday at
7:30 p.m.
"Every game in the dis-
trict is going to be a battle,"
Reichenbach said.

Center For Sight softball takes second in Winter Nationals


FROM CENTER FOR
SIGHT SOFTBALL


The Venice Center For
Sight age-80 softball team
placed second in the Easton
Winter Nationals held by
the Senior Softball World
Championship Federation
in Fort Myers. CFS moved
into the age-75 bracket as
they were the only age-80
team registered to play in
the tournament.
In the first of four seeding
games, CFS played Ken-
tucky's Joseph Chevrolet.


Pete Petropoulos and Andy
Devine, both of CFS, went
three for three at the plate
with Devine cracking a
three-RBI triple. It was a los-
ing effort, though, as Joseph
downed CFS 20-15.
In game two of the first
day, CFS took on in-state
foe Fred's Market. CFS sent
10 batters to the plate in the
first inning to score six runs
and take a 6-1 lead. A big
fifth inning by CFS pushed
across four runs with timely
back-to-backhits by Ed Eyles,
Dan Desmond, Al Murray,


Len Pompeno, Wilbur Bruce
and Bob Fuhrmann. CFS
defeated Fred's. 15-9.
On the second day of the
tournament, CFS again fac-
ed Fred's and came away
with an 18-9 win. Chuck
Ritchie crushed a 300-foot
home run over the center-
field fence in the first inning
as CFS opened with four
runs. CFS piled up 14 more
runs to come away with the
18-9 win. Ritchie, Bruce,
Jack Hudson and Ed Schultz
each finished the game
three for three at the plate.


In the final seeding game
of the tournament, CFS ag-
ain was pitted against Jos-
eph Chevrolet. CFS started
strong, taking a 3-2 lead in
the first, but Joseph came
back in the second to take a
7-3 lead. Ultimately, Joseph
would down CFS 17-9.
Leading hitters for CFS were
Lee Hebert, Del Babb and
Hudson, each going two for
three at the place.
With the loss, CFS moved
into the single-loss elimina-
tion finals the following day.
For their first game, CFS


again took on Fred's. CFS
racked up 28 hits and 22
runs to beat Fred's 22-10.
Leading the hit parade for
CFS were Fuhrmann and
Bob Murphy, each going
four for four. Murphy also
had a home run. Bruce, Mu-
rray and Frank Pasquarielle
each went three for four.
With the win over Fred's,
CFS moved into the cham-
pionship playoff with Jos-
eph Chevrolet. CFS led 12-8
after three, but Joseph came
to life in the fourth with five
runs. Down 13-12, CFS went


down 1-2-3 in the fifth, sixth
and seventh innings while
Joseph extended their lead to
win 15-12. Leading hitters for
CFS were Petropoulos, going
three for three with a home
run, Desmond, Eyles, Babb
and Schultz each finished
two for three.
Fuhrmann, Hebert and
Ritchie were all selected for
the Easton Nationals All-
Tournament team.
Next up for CFS is the
National Tournament of
Champions in Polk County
Feb. 15-17.


Sheepshead grazing


in the surf


MR. SHEEPSHEAD
COLUMNIST

It's that time of the year
again.
I'm starting to see the
sheepies in the intracoastal
and the surf. I wait all year
for the next four months. I
actually saw a gentleman


catch a nice one in the surf
the other day.
Fish the surf for
sheepies? You better believe
it. Years ago that was the
only place I fished.
If you want to have some
fun, wait for a rough surf
with an incoming tide. Use
my cooked frozen sand fleas
or my fiddlers with a bot-
tom rig with a 1/2 ounce egg
sinker and a No. 2 hook. I
use my ultra light outfit with
eight-pound test line. I
throw out about 5 feet from
the dip. That's not a typo,
they come right up to the
dip when the water is rough
and you can't see them. Try
it, you'll like it.

Venice boys 'optimistic' after early-season tourney


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

The Venice High School
boys basketball team ad-
vanced to 2-0 Saturday by
winning their second and
final game of the Lemon
Bay Optimist Shootout in
Englewood.


The Indians defeated
South Fort Myers High Sc-
hool in convincing fashion
58-43. After a shaky, 0-2 pre-
season and a close season-
opener, the Indians put
together their most com-
plete game of the year.
"I thought we put a long-
er period of time together


where we were being pretty
consistent, doing positive
things," Venice Head Coach
Steve Cavallaro said. "We
erided up winning by 15
and we were only up eight
going into the fourth."
Venice led 42-34 at the
end of three, and proceeded
to outscore the Wolfpack


16-9 in the fourth quarter to
seal the win.
Leading the Indians were
Justin Grant with 17, Tyler
Christian with 16, Kyle Jut-
ras with 10 and Branden
Wilkinson with 10.

Testimonial



F or Bernie LeBlanc,
owner of three
local hotels who has lived
in Venice for 21 years,
the decision of where to
go when he learned he ..
needed heart surgery was .
easy. "I knew I had the
greatest in the state in
my own backyard," said
LeBlahc. "Aind, I was
luck),y to have it."
He's right. Cardiovascu-
lar disease is the number
one cause of death in the
United States, and Venice
Regional Medical Center
has been recognized as
one of Thomson's 100 B a B
Top Hospitals for cardiovascular care, a respected study
that identifies hospitals that set clinical and management
benc. marks for full-service cardiovascular programs across
the country.
With a family history of fatal heart problems and two heart
attacks under his own belt, LeBlanc knew he had to take test
results indicating an aortic aneurysm seriously. After being
monitored by Dr. Jonarhon Fong, a cardiovascular surgeon,
it was determined.that LeBlanc needed single bypass sur-
gery and surgical replacement of the mitral valve. Dr. Fong
assured him that both procedures could be taken care
of in one operation.
"Every step of the way I was kept informed of what was going
on," said LeBlanc. "Dr. Fong discussed the problem with me
and then hospital personnel walked me through the entire
preparatory process in two visits. It was like 1-2-3, I walked
through the door and a staff member picked me up, then they
took me from one department to another until the extensive
list of pre-surgical tests and labs had been completed. They
were efficient and fantastic."
The day of the surgery LeBlanc recalls being treated by an
"incredible" nursing staff. "Not only did they make sure I was
comfortable, but they also made sure my wife and family were
comfortable. Throughout that day and my recovery process it
didn't matter the shift, help was available."
Now in cardiac rehabilitation, LeBlanc says he is having fun
on the treadmill and appreciates the knowledgeable, encour-
aging staff that he continues to interact with. "I've been in
hospitals where I've been treated as 'just another patient,'
said LeBlanc. "That was definitely not the case at Venice
Regional Medical Center. I felt at ease knowing that they
were genuinely concerned with my comfort and the success of
my procedure."
At Venice Regional Medical Center our gifted physicians,
caring staff and stringent safety measures translate directly into
real-life success stories for patients, including Bernie LeBlanc.
"I was in the process of congestive heart failure," said
LeBlanc. "Now I feel both physically and psychologically stron-
ger after being treated by a tremendous physician at a techno-
logically-advanced hospital."

NAMED AMONG


IOO TOP


CARDIOVASCULAR


HOSPITALS


In their latest study released Monday,
November 19 200" Tomnson 100 Top
Hospitals: Cardiotascular Benchmnarks
for Success Thomson Healthcare iden-
tified Venice Regional Medical Center
as one of the Top 100 Hospitals for
Cardiovascular Care for the second
consecutive year.
The Cardiovascular winners included
30 Community Hospitals with five of
them in the state of Florida. Venice
Regional was the only hospital in Sara-
sota. Manatee and Charlotte counties
to make the list. "Our cardiovascular
surgeons and cardiologists are excel-
lent," said Mlelodv Trimble. chief execu-
tive officer of Venice Regional. "Our
outcomes were so strong that we knew
the quality of our program would be
recognized nationally."
The study examined the perfor-
mance of nearly 1,000 U.S. hospi-
tals by analyzing their outcomes for
eight measures related to heart failure,
heart attacks, coronary artery bypass
grafts (CABGs), and percutaneous
coronary interventions (PCIs), such
as angioplasties. A list of the 100 Top
Hospitals, based on these results, is
available at www. 100tophospitals.com/
winners/cardiowinners.aspx.
The Thomson study also concluded
that "if all cardiovascular hospitals
achieved the same results as the 100 Top
Hospitals award winners in the study,
more than ",000 lives would be saved
and nearly -50 medical complications
would be avoided annually".

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.
Ecineville Sun authori-
ties reported to police that
several employees have
been seeing ghosts in the
building.
"Due to the number
and frequency of the sight-
ings, we felt it appropriate
to notify the police," said
Sun Spokesperson Glenda
Rollie.
According to sources.
inside the Sun, more than
a dozen people have seen
the ghosts. It's riot just one
ghost, according to these
same sources it's several
ghosts. And... people know
who the ghosts are.
"They are former em-
ployees. The weird thing is,
we can't figure out how
they can be ghosts because
they are all still alive. It's
like they left a duplicate
spirit here to haunt the
building," said one source
who wished to remain
anonymous due to the
sensitive nature of the
material.
Apparently the ghosts
are not dangerous, just


mischievous.
There have been peo-
ple's time cards punched,
without their knowledge,
indicating they worked
only five hours instead of
eight.
One ghost mixed tartar
sauce in the mayonnaise,
so when we had the com-
pany corned beef and pas-


trami sandwich lunch
Monday, almost everyone's
sandwiches tasted like tar-
tar sauce.
One ghost apparently
worked at night, leaving
blank note cards on every-
one's chairs.
No one knows what that
means. Yet.
One ghost is leaving
small footballs, basket-
balls, hockey pucks and
lacrosse balls in the


strangest places. Yesterday,
two badminton shuttle-
cocks were glued to the
front of a reporter's com-
puter monitor.
Staffers suspect the
ghost is that of a former
sports editor at the Sun.
This reporter contacted
the former sports editor
and asked if it was his
ghost responsible for these
acts.
His response: "What?"
Another ghost is un-
screwing light bulbs.
And in the strangest
occurrence so far, eight of
the ghosts have placed
blurry images of them-
selves on the Ecineville
Sun's "We LookAtYou" sec-
tion of our Web site, where
you can buy photos you
see in the Sun printed on
anything.
Please do not attempt to
order the ghost photos yet
as our attorneys are trying
to determine who owns
the copyright to those.
Well, this is Ted "I'm a
reporter, I'm a reporter"
Rank reporting. I'll see you
next issue with more news
from Ecineville. Until then,
remember, it's all good
here in Ecineville.

Playing 'What if'


BY MONTY ANDREWS ,
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
What if we, as a collective
group of U.S. citizens, were
really serious about pre-
serving our natural re-
sources?
Rather than make ener-
gy-efficient appliances,
motors and other power-
driven mechanisms an
option, they become the
standard.
Reduced-flow toilets and
showerheads would not be
optional.. Automobiles
would have been required
to get ever-increasing gas
mileage while work contin-
ued on coming up with


alternative fuels and en-
gines.
Am I just an alarmist, or


are we continuing down the
road of ever-increasing nat-


ural resource depletion?
For the sake of conve-
nience and cost, we manu-
facture more and more dis-
posable goods along with
cheaper appliances that last
just beyond the warranty.
This might be a little more
tolerable if we recycled 98
percent of our waste, but we
fall considerably short of
this percentage.
Conservation calls for all
people to do what they can
to help preserve our
remaining natural re-
sources. We can't wait for
someone to come up with
another option.
The planet it's worth
saving.

Thanksgiving's over and we still have turkeys


JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST


Last night, I turned on
the evening news, which I
always do in the evening,
and for a solid hour all I
heard was that one political
aspirant of a particular
party was pulling ahead of
another, and that should
aspirant No. 3 play his cards
right in Iowa, he could be on
his way to New Hampshire


with collateral to spare.
However, should the
party of the first part
become involved in a scan-
dalous thing, like spreading
his feet in the men's room,
then his, or her, chances are
going to be pretty much out
the window, especially if
another poll is added to the
38,000 polls already taken.
Is it any wonder the
American public has lost
interest in the political sys-
tem of this country?
Congress, now on a two-
week hiatus from doing
what our tax dollars are pay-
ing them to do, has the
absolute lowest rating of
any Congress in the history
of this country. The presi-
dent, it turns out, has spent
more time vacationing than
any president in history.
The good news, however,


is that he no longer needs
training wheels- on his
mountain bike.
OK, I've been warned not
to get political with my col-
umn but, if you think
about it, the politics of this
country really make for
good comedy.
If only they, the politi-
cians, would comport with
the wishes of their con-
stituerits, we would be a
whole lot better off. But, we
got what we elected, so suck
it up, as my wife tells me.
And speaking of sucking
it up, the day after Thanks-
giving is reputed to be the
biggest shopping day .of the
year. After spending a mere
three hours driving around
the mall parking lot looking
for a parking spot, I concur
totally with whoever it was
that made this claim.


Finally, however, I spot-
ted an opening a mere 21/2
from the entrance to the
mall.
Putting the pedal to the
metal, I was determined to
get what seemed to be the
only parking spot in the
country. Just as I started to
make the turn into the
opening, a woman and I
use the term loosely here -
came from the opposite
direction and cut in front of
me, taking what could well
be known as the last park-
ing place in the Eastern
Hemisphere.
As I sat in my car, the hag
casually exited her topless
piece of automotive junk
and waved at me. With a
cigarette dangling from her
mouth, arid a cell phone
pressed to an ear, she
looked at me, as if to say,


"Ha, ha, sucker," as I sat
open-mouthed and mad as
hell.
Another thing I have to
thank mywife for is that just
as I started to run over the
wench, she, my wife,
screamed at me not to do it.
Later that day, after
departing the parking lot to
purchase another tank of
gas, I returned to the mall,
only to find people having
tailgate parties. I was won-
dering if somehow I had
made a wrong turn and
ended up at a football stadi-
um.
Then, I spotted the wo-
man who had taken my
parking spot walking to-
ward her car. Her arms were
loaded down with huge
bags and boxes filled with
found bargains.
Now, not being one to


hold a grudge, I pulled to
the edge of the curb and
offered to help her with her
load, and she accepted my
offer. I mean, after all, I am a
gentleman.
As she pulled out of the
parking lot, I wondered how
long it would take for her to
realize that the bags and
boxes I helped her carry
were in the back seat of the
topless car that was parked
next to hers. But, I was nice
and waved to her as she
pulled out, all the while
talking on her cell phone. I
don't think she saw me
though as she was busy
lighting a cigarette.
You know, there are some
things you do in life that just
make you feel good.

Metabolism and calories and math, oh my!


JENNIFER TUCKER, MS
Math is hard! But difficult
or not, there are some com-
mon numbers and calcula-
tions that everyone should
be aware of since they can
greatly affect your waistline.
Before diving into the num-
bers, it's important to un-
derstand the concept of
metabolism first.
You've probably heard
the term basal metabolism.
Basal metabolism is the
number of calories
(amount of energy) your
body requires to function
on a daily basis if you did
absolutely no movement
what so ever. If all you did


was lay in bed, your body
would still have an energy
requirement to allow
organs to function and tis-
sues to live. That is the basal
metabolism. As you may
guess, it is fairly minimal.
Resting metabolism (for
our purposes) is the body's
energy requirement to do
normal, daily functions such
as eating and getting dressed.
It does not take into account
exercise or extraneous work
that you may do for a job.
Weight maintenance oc-
curs when you consume
roughly the same number
of calories as your resting
metabolism requires. Cal-
ories in = calories out =


weight maintenance.
Weight gain occurs when
you consume more calories
than your resting metabo-
lismn requires and obviously,
weight loss occurs when
you consume fewer calories
than you need.
Now the math. Did you
knowthat one pound ofbody
fat is equal to 3,500 calories?
So to lose one pound you
have to create a 3,500' calorie
deficit. Here is an example:
A woman's resting meta-
bolic rate is 1,500 calo-
ries/day. She consumes
1,850 calories/day. She has
a 350 calorie surplus in one
day. If she continues like
this she will gain one pound


every 10 days. This sounds
extreme so let's vary the sce-
nario.
The same woman chan-
ges her ways, cuts back and
now consumes 1,600 calo-
ries/day. Much better. How-
ever, the 100 excess calories
per day that she still con-
sumes over the course of
365 days equals an approxi-
mate weight gain of 10
pounds per year.
To lose weight, the wo-
man needs to create a
caloric deficit rather than a
surplus. Remember it takes
a 3,500 calorie deficit to
equal one pound of weight
loss. The deficit can be cre-
ated by diet, exercise, or


most ideally, a combination
of the two. If the woman
cuts back on her consump-
tion another 100 calories,
she will be in caloric bal-
ance (consuming the same
number of calories that she
burns each day). If she adds
some calorie-burning exer-
cise like stationary cycling
for 30 minutes per day (a
150-pound woman burns
about 200 calories in 30 min-
utes of stationary cycling) she
now has created a 200 calorie
deficit each day. Over the
course of a year, she will lose
20 pounds.
200 calories x 365 days =
73,000 calories/3,500 calo-
ries = 20.85 pounds.


If all this math makes
your head spin, the YMCA
has made it easy for you.
Using the latest technology,
an armband equipped with
motion sensors, skin temper-
ature sensors and an upload-
able computer chip, your
metabolism can be deter-
mined easily over a three-day.
period. The YMCA offers this
technology as part of its
Medically Based Weight
Loss program.

group the center's mission is,
"Women empowering wom-
en to achieve their full emo-
tional and economic poten-'
tial through education, sup-
port, networking and refer-
rals."
The gathering included


fashions, sales, a silent auc-
tion and thought-provoking
guest speaker Nancy Coey.
Master of ceremonies Kathy
Lehner and Women's Re-
source Center Executive Dir-
ector Janice Zarro added
their own words of wisdom.
One of the few men in the
group, Jim Gilmour, created
a friendly mood at the piano
with familiar hum-along
music.
The more than 30 com-
mittee members deserve a
bravo. The next Women's Re-
source Center gala takes
place on March 10 at the Ritz-
Carlton Hotel. Call 485-9724


for information.

All-new 2008 Buick Enclave




BUICK ENCLAVE: THE FINEST


LUXURY CROSSOVER EVER


Experience the luxury and comfort, quality and

craftsmanship, power and agility for yourself.


The exterior is gorgeous: sculpted curves,
waterfall grille, signature portholes, chrome
accents including available 19-inch chrome-
plated wheels.
The power is impressive: the Variable Valve
Timing (WVVT) V6 engine delivers 275 hp while
delivering an EPA-estimated mpg of 16 city/
24 highway (front wheel drive models).
But it's the interior that will really get your atten-
tion: Like the name suggests, the 2008 Buick
Enclave 'is a true retreat from the outside world.
And the e perience couldn't be more sumptu-
ous. Read on.

Pure Indulgence
Enclave's designers have created an interior
environment so warm and comfortable so full
of luxurious materials and soft, inviting colors,
all joined together with exquisite craftsmanship
- you may feel like you're in the cabin of your.
own private jet.
Or a library: The Enclave's interior is so quiet,
as a result of Buick's QuietTuning technology,
that front-row passengers can converse with
third-row passengers without anyone having to
raise their voice.
Or your own traveling movie theatre: Enclave
provides an extraordinary surround-sound lis-
tening experience which makes it easy to
enjoy the available DVD Entertainment Sys-
tem. It has a large eight-inch LCD screen that
delivers crisp details and stunning color, and
is combined with the advanced Bose ten-
speaker audio system with Dolby digital 5.1
surround capabilities.
The cabin also offers high-tech intelligence,


including an available touch-screen DVD navigation
system, which has data on almost 7 million miles of
U.S. and Canadian roads,1 and factory-installed XM
Radio, including three trial months of service.2
You can retreat from the outside world, or stay con-
nected, informed and entertained. With Enclave, the
choice is yours.

All-Around Versatility
Enclave's designers have als! come up with some
unique ways to transport up to eight adults and
their cargo.
The standard seven-passenger configuration features
luxurious bucket seats up front, handsome second-row
captain's chairs, and a third row that comfortably seats
three adults and is easy to access with Enclave's
Smart SlideTM innovation.
An available second-row center console,3 mounted
between the captain's chairs, gives added conve-
nience. And an available, second-row 60/40 split-
folding bench seat, combined with the rest of the
seating, provides room for eight adults.
There are two dozen storage areas in the Enclave.
The center console can accommodate 16-ounce water
bottles. There are also up to a dozen cup. holders, as
well as four 12-volt power outlets and a 115-volt power
inverter. And, when both the second- and third-row
seats are folded, you'll have over 116 cubic feet of cargo
space,4 with easy access via the remote-controlled
power rear liftgate.

Standard Security
Every 2008 Enclave comes standard with StabiliTrak,
one year of OnStar with Turn-by-Turn Navigation,5
and the GM five-year/100,000-mile Powertrain
Limited Warranty with Courtesy Transportation and
Roadside Assistance.6
To learn more about Enclave, go to buick.com or see
your Buick dealer.

SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME AT



THE GAS PUMP? TRY A CHEVY.


Chevy offers eight 2007 models that have an estimated

30 miles per gallon or better on the highway.1


All-Around Value
There's a reason someone buys a Chevy every 7.4 seconds:2 It's
a great brand.
A wide variety of stylish, exciting Chevy models are designed
to be a terrific value at every price range including the nine
models Chevy offers under $20,000.3
They offer more security than ever. For 2007, Chevy offers 16
vehicles with the protection of OnStar.4 And Chevy has the best
coverage of any full-line brand in America: Every 2007 Chevy car
is backed by 100,000 miles/five years of a transferable Powertrain
Limited Warranty 5 with no deductible; 24/7 Roadside Assistance
and Courtesy Transportation.
And they're fuel efficient: Every car in Chevrolet's lineup offers
an estimated 28 highway mpg or higher powertrain choice, includ-
ing the 400-hp Corvette1'6 and eight 2007 models offering an
EPA estimated 30 or better highway MPG.1

Fuel-Saving Technology
Active Fuel ManagementTM: This technology helps save fuel by
using only half of the engine's cylinders when driving with a light
load and seamlessly opening all cylinders when needed for brisk
acceleration or for hauling heavy loads. It's available on 2007
Chevy Impala and Monte Carlo.
Variable Valve Timing (VVT): By adjusting the timing of the intake
and exhaust valves, VVT helps optimize combustion for perform-
ance and economy, helps lower emissions and enhances the
existing outstanding balance of power, efficiency and low emis-
sions engineered into the engine. The 2007 Cobalt, HHR, Impala,
Malibu and Monte Carlo all offer available VVT, depending on
engine choice. See your Chevy dealer for details.
To learn more about GM's fuel-saving initiatives, go to
