Medicare: A case of diminishing returns
The prognosis is not good for 50-and-older
adults struggling to find health care.
BY STEVE REILLY
STAFF WRITER
In the 1980s, at the wake
of a lifelong friend, a wom-
an well into her 80s said,
"You know the golden years,
they're not so golden."
When it comes to health
care, the golden years may
be worth even less today
and may soon not be worth
a, wooden nickel. Older
Americans those old
enough to receive Medicare
and those looking forward
to Medicare are discover-
ing the hard and often cold
realities of health care.
Louis arid Paulette Bor-
gemenke know the struggle
on both sides of the 65-
year-old divide.
Louis, now 76, was a
jockey, riding and working
primarily at Midwest horse
tracks. He and Paulette, who
have been married for 21
years, decided to retire to
Venice.
Paulette, now 63, worked
as a barber and office work-
er in the Midwest and con-
tinued to work in Venice.
She found a job as a courier
for a bank. She liked her job
and received "excellent"
medical and other benefits.
But five years ago the
bank was taken over by an-
other institution that decid-
ed to outsource her job.
Paulette found herself with-
out a job and without med'-
ical benefits.
. "I was scared because I
didn't know what will hap-
pen," Paulette said.
Backwhen she was abar-
ber, she knew men in their
50s who would panic when
they suddenly found them-
selves out of work.

Leader of local gypsy community arrested School board
BY TOMMY MCINTYRE
STAFF WRITER
The heir to the gypsy
throne and his son, have
been arrested on three
counts each of dealing in
stolen property
Sarasota County Sheriff's
Office detectives charged
Robert "Bobby" M. Mitchell,
53, 100 block South Tami-
ami Trail, Nokomis, and his
son, Michael M. Mitchell,
30, 4600 block N. Washing-

"I haven't figured out
what this thing is all about
yet, so at this point in time
cannot comment," the elder
Mitchell said. "And, please
let everyone know that I am
working with law enforce-
ment on several other cases
now and have worked with
law enforcement for many
years."
Mitchell has for years
claimed to be working "sub
rosa" (secretly) for local
police agencies to help rid
the area of criminal activity.
Police authorities stop
well short of confirming
Mitchell's undercover role in'
any investigation.
Some local investigators,
however, had admitted in
the past that Mitchell has
"helped" them on certain
cases.
Mitchell also scalded the
TV media for taking pictures
of his residence which
happens to be the Rachel's

County delays boat basin dredging request
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
The dredging is off. For now.
The Sarasota County Commission,
sitting as the Water and Navigation
Control Authority during its Tuesday
board meeting, delayed until Feb. 20 a
request of the Southbay Yacht and
Racquet Club Homeowners Associ-
ation for a.maintenance dredge within
the club's boat basin.
The problem: unanswered ques-
tions by residents of Willowbend, the
community adjacent to the proposed
dump site, about so-called "spoil" -
the material dredged from the basin
bottom and just what's in it.
The dredge was supposed to go to a
depth of about six feet, totaling some
1,363 cubic yards of spoil, which
would be removed from the waterway
and deposited at a 10-acre property at
the intersection of U.S. 41 and
Luminary Boulevard in Osprey, right
next to Willowbend. .
That's what brought out the resi-
dents, who never got to see a prom-
ised report of what was contained in
the spoil until midway through Tues-
day's public hearing.

Icard Merrill, who was retained by the

pay raises
now automatic
The law that required school boards to set their
own pay is no longer. Instead, they're back
under a state funding formula that guarantees
raises based on population.

NEWS EDITOR SCHOOL
BOARD PAY
For Venice resident Norm
Lupo, the month of De-
cember is missing some-
thing a discussion about
school board pay.
It's the first time in five
years board pay will riot
show up on the Sarasota
County School Board's De-
cember meeting agenda.
That's because school
boards throughout Florida
are no longer required to
justify their salaries before
the public.
A law school boards lob-
bied for quietly passed this
summer. It returned boards
to the pre-2002 era when
school board pay was grant-
ed automatically.
In September the Florida
Legislative Committee on
Intergovernmental Rela-
tions finalized the salaries of
elected school district offi-
cials for the fiscal year 2008.
According to the com-
mittee's final report, Sara-
sota County School Board
members will receive an
annual part-time salary of
$37,126, up $196 from
$36,930 a 1-percent in-
crease.
The pay raise is retroac-
tive to July 1, 2007, and is
determined by a state fund-
ing formula based largely
on county population with
the equivalent of a built-in
inflationary adjustment.
For five years, from 2002-
07, school boards through-
out Florida were required to
advertise and set their own
salaries.

Supersonic Santa
HARBOR LIGHTS, 1950s
A Swedish engineering
firm did some calculations on
Santa's annual trip around the
globe. It says the jolly fat man
needs to visit 2.5 billion
homes on the evening of Dec.
24.
That means Santa can
spend only 34 microseconds
at each residence. He must get
down the chimney, place gifts,
eat a cookie and get airborne
again.
That might explain why no
one can see him. He moves so
fast that he's invisible!
But wait. Another group
says the weighted-down sl-
eigh flying at supersonic
speeds would vaporize in 4.26
thousandths of a second. Ha.
They're wrong. Never has.
Never will.

Nokomis rezoning denied
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
The Sarasota County com-
missioners unanimously re-
jected a rezone request for
9.8 acres near Pinebrook
Road in Nokomis.
The petitioner for Ed-
mondson Villas, the pro-
posed project, sought a
density increase to five units
per acre up from the cur-
rent density of one unit per
5 acres. Brian Lichtermann
of Vision Planning and
Design and attorney Jeff
Boone argued on behalf of
the petitioner that the de-
velopment, which planned
for 23 lots containing 46
paired villa-style homes,
would enhance the sur-
rounding area.
On June 21, however, the
Sarasota County Planning
Commission voted unani-
mously to recommend de-
nial of the request on the
grounds that the proposed
density was incompatible
with existing development
in the area.
Several neighbors of the
tract agreed, including Barri
Burrus, a resident of nearby
Sorrento Ranches.
"You're looking at a
2,500-percent density in-
crease from the current
zoning," Burrus said, add-
' ing the proposed develop-
ment would decrease .prop-
erty values, increase con-
gestion and overtax the cur-
rent drainage system.
Robert Graf, whose
home would be closest to
the new development, dis-
agreed with Burrus.
"To be adjacent to a new
development at a lower
density would certainly
increase the value of my
home and enhance the
appearance of the neigh-
borhood," Graf said.
Commissioner Joe
Barbetta moved to deny the
rezone. He was seconded by
Commissioner Jon Thaxton.
"This was a relatively
easy decision for me,"
Barbetta said. "We had a 9-0
planning commission vote.
It's just not right for the
area.")
Thaxton concurred, even
though he thought the
development plan was a
good one.
"This is a rural enclave,"
Thaxton said. "And our
comprehensive plan clearly
gives us reasons to preserve
it."

Developer pledges River Road funding
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
The potential developer
of Thomas Ranch tried to
sweeten the pot by offering
up-front money for the
improvement of a section of
River Road.
Alan Maio, of planning
firm Kimley-Horn and As-
sociates, addressed the
Sarasota County Commis-
sion Dec. 11 on behalf of
Fourth Quarter Properties,
the consortium looking to
develop Thomas Ranch.
According to Maio, the
group pledged "up-front
funding for the construc-
tion of River Road from U.S.
41 to 1-75, upon reaching an
acceptable fair share finan-
cial agreement with the
county."
Additional concessions
for the 2,850-acre tract,
known for now as the Gott-
fried Village Stewardship,
included:
Reducing the density
from 2.5 dwelling units per
acre to 2.
Reducing the density of
another 800-plus acres to
the south of the subject
property from 2.5 units per
acre to 2.
Maintaining 50 percent
of open space in the proper-
ty, including at least 40 per-
cent conserved native habi-
tats.
The commissioners ten-
tatively endorsed a compre-
hensive plan amendment
Oct. 23, which could allow
development on the prop-
erty. The matter is now
before the state Depart-
ment of Community Affairs
and will return to the com-
missioners for a final vote
next spring.
County Commissioner
Shannon Staub, whose
swing vote sent the matter
on to the DCA, warned at
the time the proposed den-
sity of 7,125 dwellings was
too high. Maio's revised
totals would cut that num-
ber to 5,700.
Following his presenta-
tion, Maio said the new
numbers "substantially
changed the parameters of
what the group requested"
in October.
"It's still a lot of units,"
Staub said afterward. 'And
they didn't talk about how
that development will be
timed and phased. They
certainly made it more
interesting, though, to play
a significant part in building
River Road from U.S. 41 to I-
75."

County cool to mixed-use proposal at corner of U.S. 41 and Vamo Road
BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT
Saul Lapidus wants to do
something different in
developing the 3.12-acre
parcel of land he owns on
the northwest comer of U.S.
41 and Vamo Road at the
north end of Osprey.
"I want to create a com-
mercial property that isn't
just another strip mall,"
Lapidus said. "My neigh-
bors in the houses directly
behind the land agree with
that proposition. We've
been talking about it for two
years."
But Sarasota County's
commissioners are oppos-
ed. Instead of the commer-
cial zone he seeks with a
mix of retail space on the
ground floor and town-
houses in a second-story
loft, they want mixed-
use/residential zoning.-
So, Lapidus is scheduled
to return to the board on
Dec. 19 with a modified
proposal. Barry Seidel of
American Property Group
of Sarasota, which has
developed several commer-
cial properties along U.S.
41, supports Lapidus.
"It's not a great spot for
kids. That corner is a busy
one. And his approach is
better than larger apart-
ments," Seidel said.

Parking would be con-
fined to a well-lighted area

"and a lot of trees. We want

ble," Lapidus said.
To. provide as much
opacity in a buffer area
between his parcel and the
nearest neighbors, about
250 feet away, Lapidus plan
to move existing trees on his
land.
The live-work environ-
ment allows for commercial
enterprises and residences
to coexist, according to
Lapidus.
Proponents of the con-
cept claim that it encour-
ages neighbors to enjoy
each other's company when
meeting at the corner store
or on walking paths within
the community.
Occupants can also
avoid long commutes and
snarled traffic.
Lapidus, who has devel-
oped retail complexes in the
area in recent years,
described the present com-
mercial real estate market
as "really difficult."
"So many builders have
failed because they've
repeated what everyone
else has already-done," he
said. "We want to be imagi-
native, and serve a market
that needs this type of de-
velopment."

Sarasota County says 'no beach sm
Beginning in 2008, smokers will be directed to
parking lots and picnic shelters.
BY JACK GURNEY
PELICAN PRESS
A sweeping ban on
smoking at most Sarasota
County beaches has been
approved, and may become
a model for other Florida
communities concerned
about cigarette butt litter.
Signs will be posted that
direct smokers to parking
lot areas and picnic shelters.
On Tuesday, the county,
commission voted 4-1 to
impose the ban after three
years of discussion. The
lone dissenter was Comm-
issioner Jon Thaxton, who
indicated he felt a designat-
ed smoking area at beaches
should be tried for a least
one year.
"I'm opposed to sm-
oking, but have had second
thoughts about this," he
said. "People shouldn't be
forced to
smoke inhot
parking lots.
We should
chance in a
designated
beach area.
If we find
cigarette
Thaxton butt litter
there, then
I'd agree to go all the way."
Other commissioners
reflected on three years of
unsuccess-
ful efforts by
parks per-
sonnel and
volunteers
to keep ciga-
rette butts
off public
beaches.
Patterson "We were
all reluctant
when this first came up,"
said Commission Chair Nora'
Patterson. "We ended up sift-
ing sand."
Commissioner Shannon
Staub quoted from a high
school student's letter of
support.
"The beach is not an ash
tray and shouldn't be treat-
ed as one," she said. "It st-
ates that his baby sister's
first step came at one of our
beaches, and it was onto a
Staub
lighted ciga-
rette butt."
The issue of
litter in parks
and on pub-
lic roads has
been elevat-
ed in recent
years by
efforts of
community
volunteers.
"I only wish people
would not look at our road-
ways as ash trays, either,"
said Commissioner Joe
Barbetta. "They throw butts
out of car windows."
Former Commissioner
David Mills, who lobbied
hard for the smoking ban,
said allowing it in picnic shel-
ters would be a mistake.
"If they're rented for
birthday parties, it won't
work," he said. "It will be
counterproductive to fami-
ly activities."
While a Cocoa Beach ref-
erendum to ban beach sm-
oking was recently defeated
by 53 percent of city voters,
county parks officials who
researched the subject found
a number of
communi-
ties in Cali-
fornia, Ma-
B ine, New Jer-
.. sey, Rhode
Island and
Vermont.
that do.
OnMarch5
Barbetta and 6, ne-
ighborhood
workshop meetings were
held in Nokomis and on
Siesta Key. About 50 people
attended. According to a
king'
report, 73 percent of those-
who either filled out cards or
phoned in comments sup-11

27 percent opposed.

the special

childbirth possible
involves the release, of
natural hormones that relax
the mother-to-be's ligaments and
joints. The pelvis, in particular,
experiences a softening and
stretching of ligaments that allow the
baby -easier passage during labor.
However, the price to be paid for an
easier delivery is weakened sacroiliac
joints, which can become painful while
walking, standing, or bending. The
weight of the growing baby also
weakens stomach muscles and places
pressure on the lower back. In
addition, as a pregnant woman's

lean backward, causing even more
strain. To help with these changing
conditions and consequent pain,
pregnant women are encouraged to
enlist a chiropractor in their

County backs project near Englewood hospital
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
A possible new development near
Englewood Community Hospital
cleared a big hurdle Dec. 11.
The Sarasota County Commission
unanimously backed a comprehen-
sive plan amendment which, if en-
dorsed by the Department of Com-
munity Affairs, could expand the ur-
ban service boundary should the
commissioners ultimately approve it
next spring.
That expansion would allow an
increase of one dwelling unit per 2
acres to as many as five units per acre
for about 81 acres near the hospital
and the community of Stillwater.
The developer also pledged a por-
tion of the land to the Englewood
Interagency Council for the construc-
tion of three buildings for public
health facilities.
When the proposal was last pre-
sented to the commissioners Oct. 23,
Commissioner Jon Thaxton cited con-
cerns about the vulnerability of the
land to storm surge from hurricanes,
eyen though he admitted he liked the
project.
"It's too strategic a location not to
iitensify," Thaxton said at the time,
adding it was difficult to fully embrace
development in an area so prone to
flooding.
Thaxton's concerns were allayed by
an analysis provided by water re-
sources and watershed expert Steven
Suau, and Olga Ronay, land planner
with Kimley-Horn and Associates, an
engineering and land-planning firm.
The analysis addressed not only
flooding, but also:
Impact on evacuation routes
On-site hurricane shelter provi-
sion
Proximity to off-site shelter facili-
ties
Additional requirements for as-
sisted-living facilities
Wind damage
"The report's results were above
and beyond what we've seen to date,"
Thaxton said.
Con and pro
Two Stillwater residents, Bruce Col-
lins and Ted Kellogg, objected to the
development in a public hearing
before the vote. Collins contended the
development, occurring in a slow time
for real estate, would lower his proper-
ty value. Kellogg said the acreage was
too low to accommodate storm surge
with insufficient means of egress.
Bill Coy, a Rotonda resident and
member of the Englewood Inter-
agency Council, defended the project
citing a pledge made by the develop-
ers to donate a portion of the land for
the construction of facilities for much-
needed, social, public health and
mental support services for area resi-
dents.
"The site is being researched for
that purpose, thanks to the generosity
of the builders," Coy said, adding the
community is currently 15 miles from
the nearest comparable services. "We
have enough room that we can put
possibly three, one-story, 10,000-
square-foot buildings there that could
help serve up to 120,000 people."
Specific benefits provided in those
buildings would be social and public
health services such as veterans' care,
so-called "working poor" care, injec-
tions and overflow emergency room
cases from Englewood Community
Hospital.
Commissioner Shannon Staub
moved approval of the project.
"There is a need for this-develop-
ment around the hospital," Staub said.
"You don't do comprehensive-plan
amendments just for something that's
going to happen in the next year. You
do it for something that's going to hap-
pen over the next five or 10 years."

Housing board to consider
leaving units vacant
BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER
Three vacant units at the
Venice Housing Authority
may stay that way.
Benjamin Bell, the Hous-
ing and Urban Develop-
ment contractor who is run-
ning theVHA day to day, will
ask the VHA board at its
December meeting to de-
termine if the three vacant
units should be rented.
"It's not because we have a
waiting list this has already
been closed," said Bell.
Three units in the Grove
Terrace Apartments are cur-
rently Unoccupied. The va-
cancies are due to fire, evic-
tion and a tenant moving
out. The board will be asked
to determine if it makes
sense to lease the units
when the tenants may have
to relocate in the future.
"It is a decision the board
will have to make," Bell said.
The VHA adopted a one-
year plan in November that
called for the demolition of
Grove Terrace and estab-
lishing a voucher program
for displaced tenants while
their units are replaced.
If they vote not to rent the
units, there will be financial
implications, Bell said.
HUD will not provide
funding for units that are
unoccupied. However, Bell
also added that if people
were allowed to occupy the
units, those tenants would
have the right to relocation
assistance.
The board meeting is set
for 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20,
at Grove Terrace.

County OKs demolition of Englewood houses
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
Several county-owned
Englewood buildings will
spon come down to give the
community better access to
the Lemon Bay waterfront.
In a so-called board re-
tieat Thursday, the Sarasota
county Commission gave a
n'od to the demolition of
three county-owned Engle-
wood structures following a
report by Community Re-
development Agency Coor-
dinator Debbie Marks.
The structures were the
Quonset Hut just off Dear-
born Street and houses loc-
ated at 61 Cherokee St. and
67 Cherokee St-
"We put a team together
and talked about it," Marks
said. "We got Parks and Rec-
reation and Neighborhood
Services involved as well."
The Quonset Hut, al-
ready in bad shape with ex-
posed electrical wiring pos-
ing a potential fire hazard,
will come down to provide a
possible site for the new
home of Lemon Bay Play-
house, Marks said. Staff also
suggested a light pole might
go up there in the mean-
time, to provide electricity
for any community events
held at the site.
The space currently oc-
cupied by the houses on
Cherokee Street could serve
as public access to the
Lemon Bay waterfront and
offer the potential for small
amenities such as picnic
shelters, Marks said.
"We could at least repair
the docks, put in some two-
pole shelters, a kayak and
canoe launch," Marks said.
Contractors will be con-
tacted to provide bids on
moving the approved dem-
olitions forward, said Kevin
Smith, county project ad-
ministrator.

Some patients are un-
employed and have lost
their medical benefits.
Some have families
they're trying to support.
Some people may al-
ready be familiar with gar-
nering public assistance,
but the clinics are also see-
ing older residents who
had successful profession-
al careers.
"You have some who
had something traumatic
happen in their lives and
they're surprised that they
are coming here," Moore
said.
Jane Icely, Senior
Friendship Centers pro-
gram director, said those
approaching Medicare age
aren't doing their home-
work.
They do not really know
what to expect once they
become eligible for Medi-
care coverage.
"Doctors here in Sarasota
are pulling out of taking
care of Medicare people
and are going into 'con-
cierge medicine,' where you
pay $5,000 or $10,000 a year
and your doctor will be on
call for whatever you want,
24 hours a day," Icely said.
"They don't accept any in-
surances (including Medi-
care)."
For people depending
upon Medicare now, the sit-
uation could become worse
than they would ever want
to imagine.
Critical conditions
Starting in January and
for the next four years,
Medicare is expected to cut-
its payments to doctors 10
percent annually.
According to a National
Public Radio report, the
Medicare budget cuts fall
just short of $36 billion over
the next five years.
Health and Human Serv-
ices Secretary Mike Leavitt
reportedly said the cuts
won't even make that much
of a dent in Medicare's long-
term financing shortfall.

said.
She said she didn't know
if school boards would get a
raise or not under the new
formula.
"It just hasn't been a fo-
cus. There are so many oth-
er issues than this," Zucker
said.
"We still have people
who don't think school
boards should be paid. They
are talking about up North
where school systems are so
much smaller."
Nearly 70 percent of
United States school boards
are strictly voluntary, al-
though some provide per
diem stipends and may in-
cluded medical and retire-
ment benefits. Florida
school boards are covered
by the Florida Retirement
System, while the school
district pays medical bene-
fits.
Lupo doesn't put himself
into the category of those
who believe school boards
should be strictly voluntary
organizations.
"Everyone is entitled to
reasonable compensation,"
he said.
His issue is leadership -
and the accountability that
comes with it.
"Since they are the same
people who were pushing
for the referendum, they
should lead by example.
They should have imposed
a moratorium at the begin-
ning of 2002 (throughout)
the duration of the referen-
dum.
"I don't see how it fosters
good will to the people who
voted to burden themselves
with that tax while the
school board gives them-
selves a raise. It doesn't pro-
mote good will to the com-
munity or to the taxpayers."
Lupo said he would have
liked to hear justification for
this year's increase, instead
of the "excuse" that the pay
raise is a statutory require-
ment.
A PR nightmare
Not to have the discus-
sion over board pay is, in
itself, a major PR coup for
school boards.
Returning to the 2002
statutory funding mecha-
nism has been a priority for
the Florida School Boards
Association ever since the
law was enacted. The Sara-
sota County School Board is
a member of the FSBA.
In fact, as soon as the law
requiring school boards to
set their own pay was enact-
ed in 2002, the FSBA began
recommending school
boards vote to approve
salaries in line with previ-
ois statutory language.
That didn't stop the bad
publicity that inevitably
arose from the discussion.
For each of the last five
years the discussion of
school board pay has been
divisive.
In 2005 the board voted
against a pay raise by a split
3-2 vote; in 2006, after three
years without an increase,
the board voted itself an
increase, again by a 3-2 split
vote.
Under the new law, that's
guaranteed not to happen
again.

asked the commissioners
for and got -- a continu-
ance until the matter could
be resolved.
"We have a couple of
people who are chemists
and would like to look at
this report," Lincoln said.
"The fact that we're not get-
ting it until right now is a
problem."
The homeowners associ-
ation, which turned out in
force, presented a petition
signed by 334 members
opposing any dumping of
spoil until it was deemed
within legal limits of leaded
gasoline, arsenic, fertilizer
runoff and effluent "The
stuff that came out of a
nearby wastewater plant
when the worst of the stuff
was turned into sludge,"
Lincoln said.
Lou Pavloff, president of
the Southbay Yacht Club
Homeowners Association,
deflected questions after-
ward for the need of any fur-
ther studies of the spoil.
"This is an emotional is-
sue," Pavloff said. "Not a fact-
based one. The facts are that
we did everything that the
Corps of Engineers and the
State wanted and we provid-
ed the county with the infor-
mation. One would like to
think if you followed all the
rules you should be granted
approval."
Next on Pavioff's agenda
will be obtaining an earth-
moving permit, which will
address what will be done
with the spoil.

County tries 'tough love' on water hogs
BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
Sarasota County plans to
crack down on water ab-
users with a little help
from the public.
Due to worsening dr-
ought conditions and water
users who ignore current
restrictions, the county has
instituted several new ways
to report violators:
Call the county call center
at 861-5000
Call utilities customer ser-
vice at 861-6790 and press 3
E-mail utilitybill@scgov.net
The .county will also post
the names of top water-
users on its Web site at
www.scgov.net.
"We call it tough love,"
said Tony Gipe, county utili-
ties manager. "We're con-
tinuing neighborhood pat-
rols, but we need everyone's
cooperation and participa-
tion to create real solutions."

OUR VIEW
Mortgage foreclosure is a community issue
e're in a nasty cycle.
Adjustable-rate mortgages are
sending house paymrpts up
just when people ha' been
laid off from work or want to relocate for
better opportunities. They need to sell
their homes, but homes aren't selling
well, making it hard to get out from under
a mortgage. Payments are missed; banks
foreclose.
Chances are you know someone going
through this ordeal. You might not realize
that it could have an impact on you, too.
Experts call it the "sub-prime spillover."
If your neighbor loses a home through
foreclosure, the value of your home falls,
according to a nonprofit research group,
the Center for Responsible Lending, with
offices in Washington, D.C., Durham,
N.C., and Oakland, Calif.
When a lender forecloses, 90 percent
of the homes go downhill, according to
the city of Modesta, Calif. Weeds grow,
garbage and debris pile up; some houses
are left open to children, vagrants or peo-
ple involved in illegal activities.
The Center reports 99,398 homes in
Florida were lost to foreclosure in 2005-
06. The foreclosure spillover lowered the
value of more than 4.3 million properties.
The group says the 2005-06 Sarasota
County foreclosure number was 1,307,
reducing the value of 59,526 neighboring
homes. Charlotte County had 763 sub-
prime loan foreclosures in 2005-06, while
23,036 neighboring homes lost value.
The number of foreclosures keeps
growing because home owners with sub-
prime loans often have less-than-stellar
credit, or are investors who paid nothing
down on several homes.
In 2007 one out of five sub-prime
mortgages,ended in foreclosure. In 2002
the number of sub-prime foreclosures
was half that, according to the Center.
The ripple effect harms neighbors for
two or three years after a foreclosure, the
Center reports.
And as property values tumble, prop-
erty tax collections also decline. Guess
who pays to make up the difference.
Some cities feel they have answers.
The Port St. Lucie city council passed a
"nuisance abatement ordinance." Inspect-
ors report to the city attorney, who notifies
the city council. The property owner may
argue a nuisance doesn't exist, but if the
council finds the property is a nuisance,
action is taken.
In Modesto, Calif., if property is not
secured and isn't free of garbage, debris
and weeds, the city will "contact a certi-
fied and insured contractor to board up
the building and clean the property."
Chula Visita, Calif., makes lenders
responsible. Lenders must maintain the
homes they seize and register all fore-
closed properties. Lenders then must hire
property management firms to maintain
the dwellings, including the landscaping.
Chicago forces an owner to give up a
building deemed dangerous and haz-
ardous. Owners also can be fined up to
$1,000 a day.
Sun Coast officials need to respond
quickly before this crisis gets out of control.
LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
Nokomis Fire
shouldn't get
expansion OK
Editor:
I just received a letter from an attorney for the Nokomis
Volunteer Fire Department informing me it is planning a
rezone so it can expand the fire training activities.
The parking situation there is dangerous, to say the least.
Most of the parking takes place along a fence that parallels
the road, and most of the cars and trucks extend out into
the roadway, barely allowing the passing of traffic. I've had
to stop people from parking headlong on my front lawn, as
if it were a parking lot.
In the past they have started an old car on fire for train-
ing purposes. After the training, the car was allowed to sit
and smolder for eight-plus hours, giving off toxic fumes.
They build large, smoky wood fires at times, regardless of
wind cogdWiWoNeigbbhbs A nhver, waribd.'so 9,e.Aan at
T leqstclos-e'b triF n o1 ws:" *- , .. n. r,-
They have a huge propane tank next to the road that
holds several hundred gallons piped to an area where they
practice putting out a propane fire with water and a hose.
There is no barrier built around the tank; if things were to
go awry, I can't imagine the fireball that would erupt, with
possible metal shrapnel.
I understand the need for training, and certainly appre-
ciate their efforts, but they have to share this area with
many residents.
There is really nowhere for them to expand at this point,
as there are absolutely no provisions for parking. And the
safety issues speak for themselves.

Get along
with coyotes
Editor:
I believe the safety guide-
lines developed by the Hu-
mane Society and echoed
by every other environmen-
tal group I contacted will
give us the opportunity to
peacefully coexist with coy-
otes.
Coyotes are less likely to
frequent your yard if there
are no available food
sources in it, and building a
fence for your pets will not
only protect them from coy-
otes, but cars and stray dogs
as well.
The fact is, humane trap-
ping is not possible. Cur-
rently, trapped coyotes are
shot in the head at close
range by the trapper. Fur-
thermore, leg traps have
been banned in 78 coun-
tries across the globe, as
they are considered to be
inhumane.
Several organizations I
contacted also claim that
when coyotes are removed
from a population, the next
year's litter may be larger
than normal to compensate
for the removed animals.
Accordingly, over time, there
might be more coyotes than
before.
In addition, any type of
trapping or hunting of coy-
otes poses a threat to pets
and children. Leg traps,
padded or not, do not dis-
criminate against whoever
steps into them. And to
hunters, some dogs may
look like coyotes, resulting
in injury or death to a
neighbor's pet. Individuals
who engage in trapping or
hunting could be in danger
of a lawsuit.
Finally, coyotes pose little
or no threat to humans.
Following the safety guide-
lines provided by the Hu-
mane Society provides a
more humane, safe and
realistic solution to the
issue than does hunting or
trapping on public or pri-
vate land.

Let's do better by local businesses
BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST
I mentioned in my col-
umn Sunday how Florida
TaxWatch is suggesting that
government get better. I
commented that I feel, by
and large, our governments
do a great job, with really
good people running them.
Yet there is one area we
should do a comprehensive
analysis of: the business of
getting building projects
approved and completed.
First, I need to say that
everyone I have worked
with in these departments
is professional and really
good to work with, so my
comments are not at all a
knock on the people but
rather the process.
There is hardly anyone I
know who has not gone
through the process of get-
ting a project done, in the
city or the county, who has-
n't been frustrated, some-
times extremely frustrated.
They never say anything
because they are quite cer-
tain that will make things
worse, maybe even cause
repercussions. t
Projects get stuck and
just seem not to get com-
pleted.
Let me share something
that happened many years
ago as we were trying to get
approval to open the new
art center. We had a party
planned for the opening,
but as we came to the end
there was one more thing
that had to happen the
fire inspection.
For days it didn't happen,
and when we called we
were told the inspector was
on vacation. We asked for
his backup and were told
the inspector was it and
we'd not be able to open
until he got off of vacation.
This is extreme but
seems to be the kind of
thing that happens. One
person wondered why, if
one department is tied up,
they don't pass it on to the
next one in line to get the
work out of the way.
Could we get more
proactive and call the cus-
tomer every couple of days
to give a status report?
Maybe we need on-line
tracking or more resolution
sessions.
During his campaign
Mayor Ed Martin said he
had talked to many busi-
nessmen and found this to
be a common theme. He
felt there ought to be an
analysis of the whole
process to see how we could
cut days out of the process.
Doing some histograms
(charts of time spent on
each stage in each process)
and a flow chart of the
process would be a start for
discovering areas for im-
provement.
Brainstorming with many
people who use the process
would be a great way to
identify some of the barri-
ers. Maybe having someone
like Pam Johnson or some-
one else perceived as more
impartial host such a ses-
sion with a lot of users
might help identify all the
challenges and maybe even
bring sofne solutions.
Since times are bad and
things are slow, now may be
a great time. Businesses
need all the help they can
get.

By's Crack: If the
economy doesn't im-
prove by Christmas,
people may actually eat
the fruitcakes they've

It is obvious that times
are tougher than they have
been. All Faiths Food Bank
gave out 7,000 turkeys to the
needy that cost $65,000.
That is two truckloads from
Publix, which helped in the
project.
As we get nearer to the
next election, you should
know that the last chance to
sign up to vote in the Jan. 29
election is Dec. 31.
The Hubcaps, a popular
'50s- and '60s-style band, is

munity Center to benefit
Loveland at 3 p.m. Jan. 12. A

Things are going to light-
en up in Ohio. The unoffi-
cial early morning social
director of the YMCA,

Carl and Alice Gaites,
who are retirees extraordi-

from Northeast Italy called
II Gazzettino.
It was interesting, and
while I couldn't read any-
thing, I could tell the front-
page story was a compari-
son of gas prices.
Skip Gregory brought
me one from Milford, Pa., a
burg of 1,100. The Pike
County Dispatch had a
story that I think Skip
thought might have fit with
our recent elections.
The story was about the
editor many years ago who
was so troubled by the poli-
tics in town that one day he
took the banner, which was
made of lead in those days,
along with other lead,
loaded the pockets of this
coat and then waded into a
nearby lake and drowned.
Molly Johnson gave me a
couple of papers from
Hawaii that were interest-
ing.

Imagine locally, then plan growth regionally
For most of us who live,
work and play here, it is
hard to imagine a place pos-
sessed of greater natural
beauty, opportunity and
quality of life than South-
west Florida.
It may be harder still to
imagine, in the face of our
breathtaking growth, how
we will maintain that trea-
sured, delicate balance of
blessings for our children.
But imagine it we must.
For Southwest Florida is like
no other region in the state,
and if we value its unique
and desirable characteris-
tics we will need to rely
upon the mutual coopera-
tion and mutual benefits
that come from a regional
approach to planning for
our future.
In its first annual report
presented earlier this year
to the governor and the
Florida Legislature, the
Century Commission for a
Sustainable Florida point-
edly illustrated that be-
tween the years 1950 and
2000 our state's population
transformed from a largely
scattered and mostly rural
population of less than 2.8
million residents into a pri-
marily urban and suburban
one of nearly 16 million.
Perhaps most significant,
it forecast that we can ex-
pect that transformation to
accelerate. We can expect a
continuation and perhaps
even an increase of our
longstanding inflow of
1,000 new residents daily -
roughly the equivalent of
importing and absorbing
the residents of a metropol-
itan area the size of Tampa
Bay each and every year.
With a current estimated
population of 18 million,
that means in just 25 years
we can expect at least 27.5
million people will be call-
ing Florida home. In 50
years, that total will double
- and that figure does not
include visitors and snow-
birds.
Clearly, the impacts we
can expect from this influx
of newcomers will be wide-
spread, powerful and keen-
ly felt in every corner of our
state.
I Will we in Southwest
Florida preserve or surren-
der our region's unique
character? Broaden or nar-
row our paths to economic
prosperity? Enhance or
degrade our invaluable nat-
ural and recreational re-
sources? Protect or relin-
quish our vital agricultural
and commercial interests?
Improve or erode our quali-
ty of life?
If we want to make the
right choices, we need to
start making them now, and
we should not be making
them alone.
We must start to envision
the kinds of communities in
which we want to live, raise
our families and work. We
must begin dialogues among
ourselves and with other
communities, cities and
counties around us about
what we want those com-
munities to look like and
how they will connect and
interact with each other. We
must identify our mutual
objectives, and plan and
cooperate regionally to
achieve them.
We must jointly envision
where we want new com-
munities to emerge, how
established ones should ex-
pand and where they
should not; where institu-
tions serving the public's
growing health, education
and other social needs would
best be located; where new
roads need to go, where and
how to expand existing
ones, and identify where
and how alternative forms
of transportation might bet-
ter move people between
destinations.
On Dec. 7 at Florida Gulf
Coast University, Rep. Gary
Aubuchon and I co-hosted
"Issues '08," a diverse gath-
ering of elected officials and
community and business
leaders from throughout
Southwest Florida who
shared their vision and
thoughts on these and
many other critical issues
affecting our region.
What our future will look
like depends upon how we
plan for it. We know more
people are coming and we
know our resources are
finite. We also know the
sprawl and urbanization
evolving in other parts of
the state need not happen
here.
By working closely with
our neighboring communi-
ties and adjacent regions,
we can envision a bigger
picture of our future with a
broader range of options
that complement rather
than compete. By pooling
our clout and resources, we
can work together toward
solutions that are cost-effi-
cient and make sense for us.
Right now, it maybe a lit-
tle hard to imagine a future
with less-crowded roads,
more affordable housing,
open spaces and a robust
economy. But if we can
imagine ourselves meeting
our responsibility to pro-
vide the quality of life we
envision for ourselves, our
children and our future
neighbors, it is easy to see
regional planning will be
the key.

LET 'EM HAVE IT: DO SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOlS DO ENOUGH TO TEACH SI iT ,:h m ;.m J
These are the real 'A, B, C's
Real world. Based on all the bad financial news lately,
fueled by subprime mortgages, credit card issues and a
myriad of predatory banking practices, Sarasota should
school its students to what they are facing in the future. No
matter what public relations departments put forth, com-
panies are out to wring every last cent out of their cus-
tomers. Insurance and credit card companies, banks and
other for-profit entities will do anything for profit.
Promotions, bonuses, etc. are based on this reality. I have
seen personally what subprime, no-down purchases can
do to a family. One financial blip can cause the financial
house of cards to tumble. This occurred in North Port to a
friend who bought a house. I knew from the start it could
never work, and it didn't. Students in high school should be
regularly instructed as to what they are about to face in the
real-dollar world and prepare.
For a trolley.Yes, I would
use a trolley to get from a
remote parking lot to down-
town Venice. I would love to
do that. I think it's a great
idea, and I don't think it has
to be a parking lot on the
island necessarily; I think it
could be off the island. I
hope it comes about.

council of Venice argues
over lease issues the most?

lease in town? Sharky's
lease, tiki bar's lease. And
here's the real riddle to the
question: Whose family
owns a restaurant? Why is
he always arguing about
leases from restaurants
when his own family owns a
restaurant, but he sits on the
Venice City Council? That's a
quiz or a riddle that needs to
be written in the paper.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you're
referring to Council Member
John Moore, his daughter is
part of the family that owns the
Saltwater Cafe, which is in
Nokomis.
Doubled up. I'd like to
find out why there are so
many police around Venice
Elementary in the morning.
There's the crossing guard,
then there is always one or
two policemen with the
crossing guard to help
maybe one or two children
cross the street. It seems like
a waste of time and money
for policemen to be doubled
up with the crossing guard.
And also, I see a lot of for-
eigners and people from
other countries training at
the Venice airport. Have we
made that secure now? I see
them taking pictures, and I
worry that we're being naive
to what's going on there.
We've already had some-
thing happen there with
9/11. I'm wondering if these
people are thoroughly
checked out; why I am see-
ing them taking pictures;
and why I am seeing so
many foreigners at the air-
port?
Turned off. I have a cou-
ple of irritants that I want to
get off my chest. Why do we
have to see on a boat in our
boat parade a big honkin'
sign spelling out "Ron Paul"
in 3-foot letters? This is not
the place for political adver-
tising. You can be sure this
turned me away from this
candidate and probably
other people too. Second
point about the huge,
new medallion on 41 by
- v
,, ,, ll_
Matthews-Currie Ford. The
peabrain who permitted
this should be fired because
that person did not consid-
er some obvious facts. The
Florida Road Statutes re-
quire a driver to stay within
- that is, not cross single
or double solid white lines.
The medallion has parallel
white lines set in the bricks.
A driver's tendency will be
to be guided by and follow
these lines. Now consider
the effect people driving will
have after dark or in rainy
weather. Some drivers will
swerve to follow the lines,
and some won't; and the
lawyers will have a field day.
Of course, the county will
have to pay.
Out of town. Why do we
have so much stuff from
Charlotte County and Punta
Gorda? That certainly isn't
very local. Also, I would like
to say that that column,
Ecineville, is one of the silli-
est things that I've ever read.
For heaven's sake, get rid of
that and get some decent
news in. I'd like to see a lot
more pictures and stories
about good things that peo-
ple are doing.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Our Let's
Go! section is common to all
our papers, and provides list-
ing of entertainment options
from Naples to Tampa. News
stories occasionally refer to
Charlotte when it's an issue of
regional significance, such as
the dealings of the Peace
River/Manasota Regional
Water Supply Authority, of
which both the city of Venice
and Sarasota County are
members.
Suggestions. This is in
response to Bob Vedder's
What's Next about the Ve-

BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER
The Englewood Area
Planning Advisory Board
met Friday to explore better
ways to market and com-
municate its services to the
community.
Vice Chair Nita Ed-
monson-Cole offered to put
together a brochure about
the board and its mission,
then place it with the cham-
ber of commerce to present
its purpose, priorities and
schedule to the general
public.
"That way we can at least
explain what the board is
and how we serve the com-
munity," she said.
The principal objective
of the board is to advise gov-
erning bodies in North Port,
Charlotte and Sarasota
counties on issues of gener-
al concern. At its last meet-
ing, on Nov. 8, the board
assembled a list of priorities
for 2008, including disaster
planning, water quality,
social services, utilities and
public transit.
Another concern was
how to get better public
attendance at meetings.
Observer John Fellin, cur-
rent chair of the Sarasota
County Planning Com-
mission, offered a sugges-
tion.
"Pick a money issue,"
Fellin said. "The fact is, it's
hard to light a fire under the
public on issues that don't
affect them directly."
Fellin said some of the
board's thunder is now
stolen by civic associations
"that don't have the kind of
handcuffs and hurdles that
'you all have to deal with,"
referring to the fact that the
board functions mainly in
an advisory capacity rather
than one of advocacy.
Board Chair Kreg Maheu
hoped some of that thunder
might return at its next
meeting Jan. 10, when Sara-
sota County Commissioner
Shannon Staub and Char-
lotte County Commissioner
Tom Moore will be in atten-
dance.
"We have a diverse list of
priorities and with their
help, maybe we can get into
more detail on them," Ma-
heu said.

SPORTS EDITOR
The Venice High School
boys soccer team has crept
back to .500 on the season
with two convincing wins
this week.
After a two-week, four-
game winless streak thanks
in part to suspensions and
injuries, the Indians are
now on a four-game un-
beaten streak.
Monday the Indians shut
out Port Charlotte High
School 2-0 at Powell-Davis
Stadium. They followed that
up with a 5-1 win over
Cardinal Mooney High
School Tuesday.
Against Port Charlotte, it
was first-half goals from
Gus Nordstrom in the 10th
minute and Colin Caw-
thome in the 18th minute
that put the Pirates down
early.
"We had a good, solid
first half. We possessed the
ball the majority of the
game and we broke our
Venice curse of not being
able to score in the first
half," Venice Head Coach
Seth Jones said. "I told the
guys the only problem with
that was we didn't score in
the second half. We had our
opportunities but I think we
needed another one just to
put it away. Even though we
won 2-0, it would have been
nice to see another goal."
The Indians didn't have
trouble scoring in the first
or second half against
Cardinal Mooney Tuesday
night. The Indians led 3-1 at
intermission.
Joey Carlin opened up
the scoring as Venice took a
1-0 lead. Michael Wasser-
man of Cardinal Mooney
tied it up at 1-1, but then the
game turned into the Gus
Nordstrom show.
"... we broke our
Venice curse of not
being able to score
in the first half:'."
Venice Head
Coach Seth Jones
Nordstrom finished the
game with four goals in the
20th, 39th, 44th and 51st
minutes.
"I had a good game,"
Nordstrom said. "I got a
couple lucky ones, but I
played good. I got a couple
good balls from everybody
and everything worked out
good."
After a trying two weeks;
the season seems to be
coming together for Venice.
In the last three games, the
Indians have outscored
their opponents 9-3.
Venice's defense held
Port Charlotte to just five
shots on goal. They held
Cardinal Mooney to just
three.
Stopper-turned-sweeper
Adrian Devia has filled in
nicely for the injured Javier
Aquadello, who has missed
two weeks with a broken
metatarsal (foot).
"[Devial just does an out-
standing job talking to the
guys in the back and con-
trolling that defense," Jones
said. "He was kind of
thrown into that position
after Javier got hurt so I
think he's worked out well
back there, I'm really happy
to see that he's playing well
and the rest of the teams
doing good."
With the wins, the Venice
boys are now 4-4-2. They
have an upcoming home
game against North Port
High School Thursday at 8
p.m. before taking time 'off
for the holidays.
In girls action, the Venice
Lady Indians soccer team
also recorded a shut out
against Port Charlotte Mon-
day night 4-0 at Port Char-
lotte.
With their eighth shut
out win, the girls improved
to 9-2-2, sealing up second
place in the district with a 5-
1-1 district record.
Tori Bolyard and Dana
LaRocque scored in the first
half to make it 2-0 at inter-
mission. Bolyard finished
the game with two more
goals for a hat trick.
Next up for the girls is a
home game with district-
rival Lakewood Ranch High
School Friday at 8 p.m. The
Mustangs beat the Indians
in their last meeting, so
Venice will be looking for
revenge.

Shorthanded Indians struggle at North Port Duals
BYTRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR
As a team, Venice High
School took it on the chin
Saturday at the North Port
Duals wrestling tournament.
Without Wade Consul,
Colton Schuchert, Louis
White and Eric Medel due to
some combination of vaca-
tion, illness and injury, the
Indians gave up forfeits in
four separate weight classes.
Venice effectively started
each match trailing 24-0.
As a result, Venice fell to
South Fort Myers and Bay-
shore high schools by a com-
bined 10 points. With even
one of the four absent wrest-
lers, the Indians very well
could have won both of those
matches.
The good news for Venice
coming from the North Port
Duals was out of the junior
varsity ranks. Freshmen Br-
ian Clark and Frank Trigg got
the call to wrestle varsity, and
both of them picked up their
first win at the varsity level.
In his first match of the
day, Clark pinned Sonny
Phan of South Fort Myers in
4:21.
"It feels pretty good," Clark
said. "I just felt like I was in
my zone for the first match. I
feel like I did as best I could
and I got a lot of good experi-
ence."
Clark lost his ensuing
three matches and Trigg only
picked up awin by forfeit, but
the experience was good for
the youngsters.
"It was pretty cool (to get
the first win)," Trigg said. "It

Venice's Billy Field also
continued his impressive
season with four pins in a 4-0
showing.
"I wrestled a lot more this
summer," said Field, who is
15-3 after finishing 14-10 last
season. "Its mostly just confi-

YOUR TIMING
WON'T BE OFF
WHEN YOU INVEST REGULARLY.
If one of your worries is whether you're investing at the
right time, it shouldn't be. By investing a set amount of
money regularly, you establish a simple routine that can
help make your financial goals a reality.
In addition, investing regularly can:
I Make it possible to use market fluctuations
to your advantage
I Add potential growth and diversification
to your portfolio
I Keep your long-term financial goals in focus
Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis not ensure a profit and does not protect
against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continual investment in securities
regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financial
ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.
To learn how investing on a regular basis can help
you reach your financial goals, call or visit your local
financial advisor today.

BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
|ihere is more than one reason to call
I them the LOVES. Ladies of the Venice
JL and Englewood Shrine (LOVES) do
many lovely things. On the first Wednesday
of the month, they also make some lovely
items baby blankets, lap robes and spe-
cial pajama-like shorts for the youthful
burn victims being treated at the Shriner's
hospital in St. Petersburg.
"The PJs tie on the sides and have a
drawstring waist," Jean Bing said. "They can
fit over a prosthesis or a cast."
The ladies make them small enough for
6-month-old babies and large enough for
teenagers..
Meeting in the craft room at Aston
Gardens retirement center, the ladies spend
the morning at their own sewing machines
and then usually go out to lunch some-
where after their specialized work is done.
Ranging in age from 71 to 91, the stitch-
ers meet at Aston Gardens because a few of
their members reside there and the craft
room is large enough to accommodate the
group and all their sewing machines.
Lannie Artz is one of the center's resi-
dents. She uses a relatively new serger fitted
with four spools of thread to overcast edges
and seams.
Margaret Bricker uses an old Singer
portable sewing machine that she has
owned for years.
"I was 20 when I bought it," she said. "I'm
now 79.1 I think I paid about $120 and now,
if you can find one in good shape, it would

first Wednesday of each month to make special PJ bottoms for burn victims at the Shriner's hospi-
tal in St. Petersburg.
be about $400. There is no telling what all it
has sewn. It weighs 21 pounds in its case."
The LOVES was organized in 1985 and
the sewing group shortly after that.
Nancy Letts has been sewing with the
ladies for about 10 years she said. She too
uses a serger, one she has had for years.
"For years I was the only one in town
with serged rags," she said about the little
white machine she brings to the monthly
sewing sessions.
The ladies work together like a well-oiled
sewing machine. Jean Bing cuts out fabric
at her house. Some ladies specialize in sew-
ing the ties for the PJs. Others sew the side
seams.
Still others concentrate on the Afghans,
which measure 48 or 50 inches by 36 inch-
es, just the right size for a child.
All the women have been to the hospital.
It is something all new Shrine members do
after joining the Venice Shrine, LOVES
member Jo Foster said.
The local club charters a bus so that new
members and spouses can spend the day
touring the hospital and grounds and have
lunch. Shrine members concentrate on
raising money for the hospital and patients
and the LOVES
"They have a prosthesis room," she said.
"Money we send goes for repair of wheel-
chairs. They all have to be custom fitted to the
child and then adjusted as the child grows."
In addition to the children who are hos-
pital residents while being treated for
bums, more children go to the hospital as
outpatients.
LOVES stitchers use 100 percent cotton
fabric, which is both soft and washable. On
any given sewing day, a visitor is likely to see
at least four different fabric patterns.,.
"Teenagers really like the camouflage
patterns," Artz said.
For the holidays, the LOVES stitchers
were using red and green checked fabric for
some of the PJs. It takes about one yard of
fabric for each pair of PJ shorts.
"It is fun to come and sew," Letts said.
"You never know what you will be sewing."
Jean Bing and Margaret Bricker like to
sew so much that they also are active in the
Venice Quilt Guild.
To become a member of this group, one
must be married to a Shriner and have a
portable sewing machine. Those who want
to help but cannot meet those require-
ments, are welcome to contribute fabric or
cotton yam, which also is used for Afghans.
Yarn should be 4-ply, 100 percent cotton. It
takes about five skeins for an Afghan, Foster
said.
To make a donation, call Bing at 484-
0955.

The News
from Ecineville
BY TED RANK
STAFF ESCRITOR
EDITORS NOTE: As I'm'
sure you are aware, it is
never a good idea to allow
children to read this column
or to leave the newspaper
where a child could reach it.
This is especially true
regarding today's column.
Keep this column away from
children. You have been
warned. Carry on.
Part three of a three-
part series
Hang on to your sanity,
ladies and gentlemen. It's
time for News from Ecine-
ville.
For those of you just
joining us, in our last
episode the evil sisters-in-
crime, Ecineville PIOs
Pamela Anderson and
Courtney Cox, had dinner
with Santa Claus at Tama's
Diner.
Their next stop was the
now infamous club, Tri-
babe's.
The bouncer at the
door, Cindy Knuckles,
remembers the trio.
I "I thought Santa was
just a woman dressed up
for the holidays. Hell, we
got women dressed up as
bikers, hikers and well,.
like lots of other things I
don't think you wapt to
write in your paper, so
why the hell would I be
suspicious of a Santa?"
said Knuckles, adding,
"Now get the hell out "of
here you're starting to
bother me."
Once in the club, Santa,
surrounded by hundreds
,of (adjectives deleted by
censors) women, was
according to witnesses
minding his own business
when one club goer inter-
viewed by police said all
hell broke loose.
"The crazy @*$%A#
comes running onto the
dance floor holding a
badge, and a really big
%I M
gun, screaming 'police',
which, of course, got a lot
of the more. subtle
women's attention. Then
she grabs Santa around
the neck," said Eileen
Smallponds.
According to Small-
ponds, Det. Sandra Sin-
field then told everyone
not to move, she was leav-
ing with Santa and there
was no reason for anyone
to get hurt.
Sinfield must have
called for back-up be-
cause as she exited with
Santa, police had the club
surrounded.
Anderson and Cox sur-
rendered without inci-
dent.
Breaking News: This
just in, via Ecineville Sun
carrier pigeon; Kralc
County State Attorney Moe
Fine has announced no
charges will be filed against
Ecineville Police Depart-
ment Public Information
Officer Courtney Cox or
City of Ecineville PIO
Pamela Anderson.
"We believe, after inter-
viewing hundreds of wit-
nesses and several inter-
views with Santa himself, that
Santa voluntarily went with
Cox and Anderson to get
some rest. Santa admits the
trio made it appear to be a
kidnapping so (please stop
reading aloud now if there
are children in the room)
Santa could maintain his
reputation and standing
among the children of the
world. Therefore, all three
are free to go. No charges.
will be filed," said Fine in a'
statement released earlier
today.
Ecinveille Mayor Latka
Von Rigenhousen released
this statement after hearing
no charges will be filed
against the city's PIOs.
"The girls, hmm hmm,
women, did nothing wrong
and we intend to reinstate
them in their positions
with full pay, after granting
them six additional weeks
of paid vacation and a free
round trip to Wakaya Island
with all expenses paid for
the entire six weeks. They
need time to rest from this
ordeal," read the state-
ment.
Lucky they didn't face
jail time they might have
received a new house and
their own reality TV show,
in the opinion of this
reporter.
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 OK to let the
children back into the
room here in Ecineville.

Bicycle helmets
BY MONTY ANDREWS
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
With the improved trail system, and
the increasing popularity of bicycling
in our community, it is important we
review some of the pertinent rules
and laws that pertain to bicycling.
Florida state law requires bicycle
riders 16 and younger wear an
approved bicycle helmet. To ensure
maximum effectiveness the helmet
must be properly fitted, fastened
securely, and meet the standard of
the Consumer Product Safety Com-
mission.
Bicycle helmets, properly fitted and
secured, are proven to be effective at
reducing the severity of head, brain
and facial injury. The cries of it's a
hassle, I look like a geek, or it messes
my hair are lame excuses for riders of
all ages. Most serious, experienced.
- riders wear a helmet whenever they
ride their bicycles.
A number of years ago I was com-
peting in a novice race when I lost
control of my bicycle. Fortunately I
was wearing a helmet when I fell, and
the impact of when I hit was so hard
the. helmet broke. I attribute my hel-
met to protecting me from a serious
head injury
The unexpected can happen at any
time and at any speed during your
ride. With that in mind the wise rider,
regardless of age, will always wear a
helmet.

Santa, the big man of Christmas
BY JOE GIORGIANNI
HUMOR COLUMNIST
At last, Christmas is just
around the corner, and I
can hardly wait. Almost an
entire year has passed and
I'll finally have another op-
portunity to see Santa.
Actually, I think my ex-
citement for Christmas
dates back to when I was
just a kid, although my wife
tells me that I still am a kid
- mentally, anyway.
My mind wanders ... It
was Christmas Eve, 1946.
My dad was just home from
the war; in fact, it was the
first Christmas that we had
been together in five years,
thanks to the armed aggres-
sion of the nice folks who
brought us transistor radios.
My grandma Conn, from
my mother's side, one of the
only two atheists I have ever
known, was married to Orie
Conn, an ordained minister.
Yeah, figure that one out.
But they endured a mar-
riage for more than 50 years.
My grandfather was the
pacifistic protagonist, while
my grandmother was the
nasty antagonist and actu-
ally hated Christmas. Yet,
each year, as the "senior cit-
izens" of the clan, they host-
ed a Christmas Eve gather-
ing for some 30 family
members in their home.
There was always more
food than could be eaten in
a week, so long as you liked
bologna sandwiches, RC
Cola and Little Debbie cup-
cakes, which were always
the desert of choice.
'My Aunt Thelma, the
oldest of all the aunts and
uncles, would don a Santa
suit, replete with an unruly
beard made from cotton.
Pillows filled out the suit
and a raspy "Ho, ho, ho"
made it all seem so very real
to my cousins and me.
Gifts, some ornately
wrapped in fancy paper,
others neatly wrapped in
newspaper, were handed
out by Santa, as the mound
of discarded paper contin-
ued to grow.
So here I am a few years
later OK, quite a few
years later and I still get
excited about Christmas. I
ban hardly wait to see the
Big Guy in the red suit. And
sitting on his lap is still one
of the highlights of the sea-
son.
My wife, for whatever
reason, refuses to go to the
mall with me, as I always
make a scene when I make
a dash for Santa's lap. There
really is something special
about seeing that red suit,
flowing beard and hearing
that hearty "Ho, ho, ho." I
tell you, it makes the stares I
get from passing shoppers
all worth while.
Yes, folk, I still believe in
Santa. Furthermore, anyone
who disputes his existence
deserves large clumps of
dolomite in their socks.
Why, he's as real as the
Easter Bunny and the tooth
fairy. And who hasn't made
awish on a shooting star? To
not believe in Santa is sim-
ply uncivilized.
It should be unlawful not
to believe that Santa comes
to each of our homes on
Christmas Eve. It is a consti-
tutional fact that Santa
exists.
In fact, I think that would
make a wonderful platform
for a political candidate
aspiring to become presi-
dent. Mr. Kucinich has al-
ready stated that he saw a
UFO, so it would only seem
logical that he should in-
clude Santa as part of his
mantra. I mean, if UFOs
have a place on his plat-
form, surely my buddy in
the red suit deserves a nod.
You know, the more I
think about it, the more I
believe that 'it could have
been Santa's sleigh that
Kucinich saw and simply
identified it as a UFO. If that
is the case, then I know a
whole lot of people who
have seen UFOs, starting
with me.
I can tell you that there is
nothing better than sitting
out on my deck on Christ-
mas Eve watching the skies
for a glimpse of my jolly
friend. Of course, a couple
of belts of a good single-
malt Scotch not only helps
keep the chill off but actual-
ly improves my eyesight.
Only this past Christmas
I not only saw the sleigh,
with Rudolph in the lead, no
less, but a rare glimpse of
the Easter Bunny. Now, that
was a night to remember.

friendship with the wise
bird that inhabits a nearby
tree.
Planned as the first of a
series of books about the
Dinky Bird, "Sugar and the
Dinky Bird" offers lessons
about the consequences
that follow actions.
Known for her unique
approach to sculpting,
painting and poetry for an
adult audience, Jesensky
was inspired to enter the
realm of children's books
because of her growing
family of grandchildren.
"The project was certain-
ly a departure from my
other work, but it has been
rewarding to watch children
respond positively to the
story," Jesensky said.

Joe Spadaro, immigrant, built the splendid but doomed Boca Grande Hotel
BY DIANA HARRIS
COLUMNIST
In 1900, a remarkable
young Italian man named
Joe Spadaro immigrated to
the United States. He was 17
years, old with no formal
education. He started work-
ing for New York City's Road
Construction Department
as a laborer.
By 1908, Spadaro had his
own construction business
in New York City. His com-
pany was among the first to
use a steam engine for dig-
ging excavations. He is cred-
ited with opening the first
mixed-concrete plant in
NYC. He built one of the
tunnels under the Hudson
River. He was tremendously
successful in the engineer-
ing field even though he
was self-taught.
He soon amassed a for-
tune through his construc-
tion projects and by 1924
was vacationing regularly in
Florida.
Spadaro was dazzled by
Florida and purchased
property around the state,
including a large amount in
Boca Grande.
As the killer hurricane of
1926 crossed the state, it
caused Lake Okeechobee to
overflow; almost 2,000 peo-
ple were killed.
By this time Spadaro's
reputation had become
well-known in Florida. After
the storm he was contacted
by the Corps of Engineers.
They asked him if he could
take on the almost impossi-
ble job of building dikes or
levees around the enor-
mous lake. He said he could
do it and he did.
In 1937, he bought the
tallest building in Sarasota,
which had been a bank,
renovated it into what
would become the famous
Orange Blossom Hotel.
The Venice Villas and the
McArthur Hotel in Venice
were constructed by Spa-
daro in the late 1940s. A pro-
ject he started, but did not
live to see completed, was
the Boca Grande causeway.
The Florida Bridge Corp.,
which was founded by Spa-
daro, still operates the toll
bridge to the island.
No one was more sur-
prised than Joe, when the
following incident occurred
in 1927 in Boca Grande.
After a day's fishing, Joe's
boat broke down. He decid-
ed to stay overnight in Boca
Grande. He went to the
Gasparilla Inn and request-
ed a room. The manager
didn't recognize him and
snubbed him. Spadaro was
told, rudely, there were no
rooms available, something
he knew was not true.
He thanked the manager
politely and left without
creating a scene. He decid-
ed there and then to build
another hotel on Boca
Grande that would not
judge people solely on their
appearance.
In 1929 the new Boca
Grande hotel opened. It was
a grandiose; three-storied,
red brick building facing the
Gulf. He claimed it to be,
hurricane-proof and fire-
proof. Ordinary people who
checked in were treated
with just as much courtesy
as the many famous guests.
In 1952, at the age of 69,
Joe Spadaro died of cancer
in his suite at his hotel. His
brother, Tony, inherited his
estate and eventually sold
the hotel.
The new owners wanted
to tear down the hotel. The
grandest building on Gas-
parilla Island was demol-
ished in 1975, but it didn't
go down without a fight.
After six months of trying to
take it down, the structure
was dynamited.
Spadaro's building and
engineering abilities shone
through to the end.

It's a jolly holiday season in Venice
Merri Lee VanLeuven chooses a fabulous puppet from the patio
gift shop at the Loveland Fashion Show and Luncheon.
FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST
Carol Rahmoeller and
Joyce Mackey know the
fashion show business be-
cause each year they chair
the Lovelanders annual fa-
shion show and luncheon.
This year's event, held at
the Plantation Golf &
Country Club, had enough
bling to make everyone
happy.
Josephine Dittmann fil-
led the patio at the club with
gold, silver and faux dia-
mond jewelry.
The silent auction and
raffle tickets gave attendees
a chance to give Lady Luck a
try.
Committee members Ri-
ta Spino, Kathy Wilson,
Ethel Zeller, Margot Fog-
lietta, Joanne Hacking, Jo-
die Saunders, Ann Gray-
beal, June Wilson, Cheryl
Becker, Mary Meaney, Kit-
ty Burke, Carolee Nargi and
Joy Fernandes deserve a
round of applause.
The standing "0" for the
event goes to student ush-
ers Bridget Meaney, Jim
Spino, Sandy Saunders,
Shea Becker. Patrick
Burke, April Terpstra, Scott
Baker, Stephanie Ditt-
mann, Denise Nargi and
Joey Foglietta. These young
people welcomed guests
with a greeting, a smile and,
in many cases, a great hug.
Bravo to everyone invol-
ved for this great fundraiser
benefiting Loveland.
'Pudgy Petites' rule
When Ruth Kaal narra-
tes a fashion show, every-
one knows they are in for a
great time. The first thing
she does is announce she is
a "Pudgy Petite" and right
off the bat that gets every-
one laughing.
This year at the Friends
of the Venice Symphony Fa-
shion Show and Luncheon,
she shared the center stage
with Ken McBride, who ad-
ded his Irish charm to the
gala.
The committee for the
event included Karen By-
ers, Marion Ogle and Lois
Kinzer. Models Karen By-.
ers, Joe Furey, David Green-
wood, Rita Harkey, Nancy
Lacey, Sue Lord, Jean Pe-
ters, Wes Schumacher and
Dianna Solomon showed
off clothes from Captain's
Landing and Barefoot Con-
tessa.
The Venice Symphony
and its education programs
benefit from the proceeds.
Bravo, Ruth, and every-
one else involved.
Love and Cookies
Calm seas prevailed at
the Venice Yacht Club as
Claire Ward and Laurel
Bean took the helm of the
annual Love and Cookies
event. About 20 women
packed more than 250 boxes
filled with two dozen cookies
each for delivery to TideWell
Hospice and Palliative Care.
One of our best
This week's person of the
week is Shea Becker, who
warms everyone's heart with
her delightful spirit. She
greeted guests at the Love-
land Fashion Show with a
fabulous smile, a joyous hug
and a merry Christmas.
Shea Becker lights up her
space and helps make Ve-
nice a great place to live.

Gizmo, the cat, is a
beautiful 10-year-old girl
whose owner
just died.
The owner's son, who just
happens to be a veterinari-
an, lives out of state and
requested Gizmo be eutha-
nized.
Fortunately, the local veteri-
narian's staff thought differ-
ently and called EARS for
help. What makes this situ-
ation unique is that Gizmo is
diabetic and requires daily
insulin injections.
Because of this, she will be
difficult to place. We need
two things here: One is
underwriting to help pay for
Gizmo's ongoing medical
bills. Second is a foster or
permanent home for this lit-
tle girl.
Gizmo's situation under-
scores a difference in atti-
tudes. Her owner's callous
son considered her to be
expendable. A Sarasota
County veterinarian believes
she deserves a chance to
live EARS does too. EARS
is all about life.
Is there anyone out there -
or several someones who
would like to help with
Gizmo?
