Hoodwinked.
That's how South Venice
homeowner Egan Tancre
feels about the $620.95
water assessment that ap-
peared on his 2008 tax bill
in November.
He's one of 200 home-
owners in South Venice
who are being assessed the
water fee on this year's tax
bill along with having a
lien on their property.

after annexation, and
about 10 years after the
water lines were installed.
The $620.95 fee is one
Tancre will be paying for
each of the next five years,
as well as monthly "avail-
ability" utility charges,
even though he isn't
hooked up to and doesn't
use EWD water. He esti-
mates the overall charge to
be about $4,000.

Here they were, two expe-
rienced pilots, cruising
at 12,000 feet over the
Caribbean on a beautiful day,
flying a Cessna Grand Caravan
back from the Dominican Re-
public. They were scheduled to
land at West Palm Beach to
clear customs.
"The engine just quit no-
warning, no fuel interruption,
nothing," Agape Flights pilot
and Pastor Capt. Rocky Miller
said.
Miller, 52, flies for Agape
Flights, a missionary flight ser-
vice based at Venice Municipal
Airport. "Agape" means "un-
conditional love of God."
He has more than 2,500
hours of flight time, about 700
hours in the Cessna Caravan.
The 'plane was returning
from carrying missioAary
supplies to the Dominican'
Republic.


Total loss
Neither Miller nor Paolo
Cofta was injured in the crash.
There was no one else on
board.
"The plane is salvageable
because it went down in only
18 feet of water," Agape
Executive Director Charlie
Gardner said. "But it will never
again be airworthyv,so yes, it's a
total loss."
Gardner said the plane is
insured. There may be a prob-
lem, however, because the
engine in use was a temporary
one while the original is being
rebuilt.
Gardner said the plane
would cost between $1 million
and $1.2 million to replace.
Training kicks in
Miller said he didn't really
have time to be spared.

The year 2007 is one

Not that. nothing good
happened this year. Among
the positives: the Michael

Boys & Girls Club, the
Venetian Waterway Park
and the Venice Arboretum
were all completed and
dedicated.
Parks opened and murals
were painted. Roads were
finished even parts of the

now. The Venice High

its first-ever state title and
several other VHS teams
had great years. The farmers

county taxpayers approved
referendums to raise money

Egan Tancre holds his 2007 Sarasota County TRIM notice
showing a new $620.95 water fee.Tancre isn't hooked up
to Englewood Water District whter and is objecting to the
assessment.


It shouldn't have been a
surprise, said representa-
tives of the Englewood
Water District. EWD mail-
ed four notices andheld
public hearings on the
issue, said EWD Admi-
nistrator Richard Rollo.
The assessment stems
from a Nov. 3, 1992, refer-
endum in which home-
owners agreed to add their
territory (Colonial Road
east to State Road 776, then
south to Manasota Beach
Road and west continuing
to Belvidere Road) to the
north end of the Engle-
wood Water District.
The vote was 418 in fa-
vor (75 percent) and 136
against, with 86 percent
voter turnout.
Implicit in the referen-
dum was accessing Engle-
wood's reverse-osmosis
water plant to get cleaner
water.
"Initially, I was all for
this because hookup was-
n't mandatory," Tancre
said. "I just ignored hook-
ing up. My (well) water was
pretty good and I knew
how to keep it clean."
On Oct. 5, 2006, the

,All of a sudden on my
tax bill there's an item that
raised my taxes by 68 per-
cent. They charged capital
costs for installing these

the impression the hook-
up was entirely voluntari-
ly," Tancre said.
Noticed
Letters went out from
the EWD Jan. 7 and Jan. 15,
2007, apprising homeown-
ers of the mandatory fee.
The letters informed
homeowners the fee would
be included on their 2008
tax bill as well as a lien
put on their homes until
the estimated $4,000 in
total fees was paid.

ween April and June for

Thermal thoroughfares


BY JOE "FASTHORSE" HARRILL



















WILLIAM BARTRAM was an environmentalist who, in 1791,
published an account of his travel adventures in a book
called "Travels:' He was the first author to use personal
experiences when writing about nature. Readers were espe-
cially interested in his poetic descriptions of exotic sub-
tropical Florida. Bartram wrote about roaring alligators and
tropical blossoms. He listed more than 200 species of
birds. He recorded the customs of the Florida Indian tribes.
and was invited by Chief Cowkeeper to be guest of honor
of the Seminole Nation. His unique writing style influenced
Wordsworth, Shelley, Coleridge and other poets of that
time.

Rosemary Fisher had


music in her soul


See the obituary on page
6 ,

BY KIM COOL
"FEATURES EDITOR

Rosemary Fisher's name
was synonymous with the
arts.
Well-known as an oil
painter, she was probably
better known in Venice as a
pianist and as the composer
of "Discover Venice," a song
about her favorite "city by
the sea." It was composed in
1985.
Local TV personality Vee
Garry Chiulli used the song
as the theme song for her
"Vee on Venice" television
show for a short time.
A member of the Ameri-
can Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers,
Fisher, who died Dec. 20 in
Lee's Summit, Mo., at the
age of 85, was one of the
Venice area's most visible
musicians.
During her years in the
area it was nearly impossi-
ble to go to any arts func-
tion at which she was not
seated at the piano, provid-
ing music for all manner of
luncheons, fashion shows
and other events. An active
member of the Venice Art
Center, she played piano in
the' center's main room
each Wednesday from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m., entertaining

the lunch crowd and any-
one else there at the time.
Generosity
The lifelong pianist also
was a professional artist.
After college (Missouri
Western State College) she
designed cards for Hallmark
Cards in Kansas City.
Married to Joe Fisher in
1943, she raised two daugh-
ters while continuing to
work as a professional artist.
In Venice, she was an
early member of the Arts
and Cultural Alliance and
won its Instrumentalist of
the Year Award in 2002.
"She just impressed the
socks off everyone in ACA,"
Bonnie Kaiser said."
Known as one of the top


jazz pianists in the area, she
also took time to assist in
the building program for
Our Lady of Lourdes
Catholic Church.
She loved her adopted
* city of Venice and was espe-
cially sad when the time
came to return to Kansas
City, leaving "Shaded drives
and azure tides, 'tis the only
place to be."
She wrote both the words
and the music to "Discover
Venice." which has a lively
beat, just as its composer
had throughout her life.
"She was generous with
her time," Kaiser said. "She
would play for anyone."

Patron of black



education dies


See the obituary on page

BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

Frances C. Crofts, a pio-
neer of early childhood
education in the Laurel-
Nokomis area, died Mon-
day, Dec. 24, at home. She
was 101.
Crofts started the first
local day care center for
black children at Johnson
Chapel, Laurel, in 1962.
"It was her dream to have
kindergarten classes for
black children," said Dea
Beckom, sister of Sandra
Terry, founder of the Laurel
Civic Association. Beckom
worked with Crofts to orga-
nize the school.
In the early 1960s area
schools were integrating,
said Verena Anstach, histo-
rian of the Venice-Nokomis
United Methodist Church.
Crofts was the president of
the Women's Society Christ-
ian Service at that time and
had a personal goal of spon-
soring a kindergarten for
children living in the Laurel
area.
"These youngsters would
not otherwise receive orga-
nized school training," An-
stach said.
The preschool continued
in operation for seven years
until the public schools in-
cluded a kindergarten cur-
riculum into the schools. -
"It was the first school of
this type in the area for
black children," Beckom
said.
'Fantastic lady'
Crofts needed funds to

keep the preschool in oper-
ation, so she founded the
United Methodist Bargain
Center, Miami Avenue, a
shop that is still in opera-
tion today.
"She was determined to
keep the Laurel school go-
ing, so the proceeds from
the bargain center paid
for storybooks, records,
snacks, insurance, play-
ground equipment and
medical care," Anstach said.
Crofts, a 1926 graduate of
the University of Southern
California, worked as a
teacher at the school for
many years.
She continued to be
active in the operation of


the Methodist Bargain Cen-
ter, and she and her hus-
band, John, hosted a dinner
at a local restaurant each
year for its volunteers.
Because of her age, in
recent years Crofts no long-
er was able to be an active
participant, although she
never forgot about the cen-
ter and it never forgot
about her. She was honored
on her 100th birthday by its
volunteers.
"Everytime we went to
visit her, she would ask how
we were doing," Anstach
said. "She was a fantastic
lady."

Notice showed there were
no public hearings held on
the assessment.
EWD officials said the
October 2006 decision to
make the assessment man-
datory, and public hearings
held at that time, sufficed.
Fair?
Tancre objected in writing
to the county and EWD board.
"How can anybody charge
a user tax for non-use?"
Tancre said. "Can Verizon
now charge (for) investments
on your tax bill for non-
hookup to the new fiber-
optic networks?"
EWD replied paying the
fee was a matter of fairness.
"Obviously, a water main
must be continuous and
cannot skip individual par-
cels," replied Rollo.
"The availability to pub-
lic water supply adds value
to every property served. It
is therefore appropriate to
allocate the construction
cost of the water main to
)the benefited properties,"
Rollo said.
He also reminded Tancre


COURTESy GRAPHIC
Homeowners in this area west of Englewood Road (S.R. 776) agreed in 1992 to be annexed into the Englewood Water District, but 200
out of the 545 have chosen to remain unconnected even though water was available 10 years ago. Now the taxing authority is forcing
them to pay for the opportunity.


that sewers are planned in
the area in five to 10 years.
'As with the water sys-
tem, similar payment of
capital charges and month-
ly availability fees for the
sewer system will apply
whether you elect to con-
nect to the new sewer sys-
tem or not," he said.
No free ride
Normally, homeowners
would pay the water con-
nection fees before the water
lines were built, during the
design phase, Rollo said.


In the case of the an-
nexed area, the board did
not create an assessment
early on. Instead, it charged
a "capital capacity" fee at
the time of the connection,
he said.
By 2006, however, many
homes still had not con-
nected to EWD water.
That's when the EWD
board of supervisors decid-
ed it was time to make it
mandatory.
"They've had a free ride
for over 10 years," Rollo
said. "Some people have


done absolutely nothing
and ignored it (fee notices).
If they've done absolutely
nothing, we then went on
the tax roll this year. This is
just follow up for those who
have not paid. It's time these
people pay their fair share."
Rollo estimates 200
homeowners have not paid
the assessment.
While the assessment
may be steep for some
homeowners, it could have
been worse.
Because of the distances
involved, the original capi-


tal surcharge was $1,000,
Rollo said.
When the EWD learned
impact fees are paid on an
average price districtwide, it
eliminated the surcharge,
Rollo said.
Recent increases in im-
pact and connection fees
mostly offset the savings,
Rollo said.
Taxed
Tancre said he intends
to continue fighting the
assessment.
"I have not contracted to


pledge my property for
EWD investments. I object
to it and want it removed
from this non-ad valorem
tax," Tancre said.
"A 68-percent tax in-
crease is impossible against
my very low fixed income
and (against) Gov. Crist's
spirit to rein in property
taxes."
Tancre's neighbor, Walter
Sirotich, voiced similar con-
cerns. Sirotich said he was
shocked to see the same
assessment from the EWD,
raising his tax bill from
$2,100 to $2,720.95.
Like Tancre, Sirotich has
always been on well water.
He spent $3,000 three years
ago to replace his home
well-water pump system.
"We are being cheated," he
said. "We never had a vote on
this. I am being charged big
money for something I don't
want or need.
"I'd like to see a class
action lawsuit against the
EWD because of this,"
Sirotich said. "This is nothing
less than taxation without
representation, and it, was
done in a very sneaky way."

AGAPE from page 1A
then all of a sudden your
training automatically
kicks in," he said. "My co-
pilot (Paolo Cofta) and I
immediately started going
down the checklist to try
and restart the engine."
Meanwhile, the airplane
was losing altitude quickly,
about 1,000 feet per
minute.
"We knew we couldn't
make land the nearest
airport was 31 miles. We
had to get the engine start-
ed or ditch," Miller said. 'At
2,500 feet we set up for a
long approach. My goal
was to make a water land-
ing near a sailboat we spot-
ted."
'A miracle'
Miller said the aircraft hit
the water at about 75 miles
per hour. They had cracked
open the door just before
splashing down to equalize
the pressure if the plane
sank which it did,
quickly.
"That was the first time I
thought about the possibil-


ity of dying," Miller said. "I
saw the spray come up
over the windshield and
the next thing I knew we
were upside down at the
bottom of the cay (Chub
Cay)."
Miller said he and Cofta
quickly unsnapped their
five-point safety harnesses
and swam to the surface.
"We splashed down
about 100 feet from the
sailboat," Miller said. "It
was a miracle we lived
through it."
Now what?
The Cessna that lies at
the bottom of the sea near
the Bahamas is, unfortu-
nately, the only plane
Agape has.
Being in the flying busi-
ness for almost 30 years,
Agape is nothing if not
resourceful.
"Well, we're working on
chartering and leasing,"
Gardner said," or even ask-
ing folks who have air-
planes to make a flight or
two for us."

2007 from page 1A
places to retire by U.S. News
and World Report, but sales
were still slow at year's end.
More culprits
Our dependence on the
real estate market was obvi-
ous when companies that
depend on such sales or
the presence of new cus-
tomers as a result of them
- showed that they were
feeling the pinch.
PGT Industries let do-
zens of positions go unfilled
by attrition, then laid off
dozens of employees late in
the year. Businesses old and
new closed, while others
tightened their belts to near
strangulation.
And the weak economy
had accomplices.
A large inventory of
housing units grew bigger
when people frustrated by
high taxes and insurance
premiums, or in need of
employment, decided to
sell their homes and relo-
cate. Some were former
government employees
who lost their jobs when the


state made the cities and
counties roll back their
property tax collections,
though the change put few
-relatively dollars back in
taxpayers' pockets despite
cuts in services.
Businesses along U.S. 41
and Albee Road in Nokomis
suffered from delays in the
road project, especially the
installation of a decorative
brick-inlay medallion at
that intersection.
Business interests had
high hopes that develop-
ment at the Venice Muni-
cipal Airport and between
the Venice Avenue and
Hatchett Creek bridges (Tra
Ponti) might give the econ-
omy a boost, but proposed
projects drew vocal opposi-
tion and failed to gain city
council approval.
Unresolved
Council incumbents Ma-
yor Fred Hammett, Bill
Willson and Jim Woods
were unseated in November
by Ed Martin, Ernie Zavo-
dnyik and Sue Lang, who
ran a campaign based on
slow growth, less height and


density and more public
input into such major pro-
jects, the main themes of
the opposition to the air-
port and Tra Ponti propos-
als. At year's end a revised
Tra Ponti seemed to be find-
ing favor with council.
The new city council was
also dealing with a few
other leftovers as 2007
wound down. In December
it confirmed Planning Di-
rector Tom Slaughter's de-
termination that short-term
rentals aren't allowed in sin-
gle-family zoning districts.
Steve Milo, who owns more
than 20 such properties, is
likely to take legal action as
a result of the ruling.
Efforts to resolve a lease
dispute between the city
and Pier Group, which owns
Sharky's On The Pier restau-
rant, collapsed. The case
could be heading to trial for
a determination whether
the lease, which had several
terms left blank, is valid.
The Venice Planning
Commission rejected a pro-
posal from Mike Miller's
Waterford Companies for a
Wal-Mart at its Renaissance


project in North Venice. The
commission's determina-
tion that the proposal does-
n't fit in with the previously
approved site plan for the
project is on appeal to
council.
Things remain irl flux at
the Venice Housing Autho-
rity, whose board wants to
replace the aging complex.
All it would take is money
for relocating the tenants,
tearing down the buildings
and constructing new ones
- and paying an executive
director to oversee the
work. The VHA is again
without a day-to-day leader.
The next potential chal-
lenge on the horizon is a
Jan. 29 referendum on
changes to the state's home-
stead exemption that local
governments say could cost
them millions more in tax
revenue, leading to more
layoffs, cuts in services and
increases in fees.
But that's for next year's
wrap-up.

There are two reasons veteran Agape Flights pilot
Rocky Miller opened the door of his airplane seconds
before ditching into Chub Cay, 35 miles from Nassau.
One was to let water come into the cabin to equalize
the inside and outside pressure if the plane sank, which it
most surely would. Even at a relatively shallow depth of
18 feet, it would be difficult if not impossible.for the pilots
to push the door open and swim to safety because of the
.outside water pressure.
The second reason was if the door jammed on impact
with the water, it would be impossible to open.
Any pilot will tell you crash landings, especially on the
water, are high risk.
With this particular aircraft, a 1996 Cessna 208 single-
engine, nine-passenger (plus pilot) with fixed (not retrac-
table) landing gear, a water landing almost ensures the
aircraft will flip over as soon as the water grabs the gear.
Incidentally, the same laws of physics apply if you find
yourself submerged in your car.
Cars and planes generally float for hours only in the
movies.

and son in the 1950s. She
was a longtime member of
the Venice-Nokomis United
Methodist Church and the
first president and founder
of its bargain center, which
was opened in 1962. Frances
valued her time as a kinder-
garten teacher at the first
integrated kindergarten in
Nokomis. In the early years
of her marriage, she and her
husband owned one of the
first Airstream trailers and
traveled throughout the
United States and Canada.
In subsequent years, she
continued to travel the
country with her husband,
John, a past Grand Master of
the Grand Encampment of
the Knights Templar. Prior
to moving to Florida,
Frances graduated from the
University of Southern Cali-
fornia in 1926.
She is survived by her
son, John L. Crofts Jr.;
grandson John L. Crofts III;
granddaughter Frances and
her husband, John Vander-
beek; and two great-grand-


children, John Ryan and
Jason Vanderbeek. She is

Rosemary P. Fisher
Rosemary P Fisher, 85, of
Kansas City, Mo., passed
away Thursday, Dec. 20,
2007, at White Ridge Care
Center, Lee's Summit, Mo.
Our Mom was a dynamo
of energy and ability. She


was born in 1922 in St.
Joseph, Mo., to David and
Marjorie Pedrick. She start-
ed to play the piano at age 4
and at 12 years old she held
a job playing piano for the
Runyon Dance Studio in St.
Joseph. She attended Cen-
tral High School and Mis-
souri Western State College
in St. Joseph.
After college she was
recruited by Hallmark Cards
as a card designer. She met
and married our dad,
Joseph Fisher, in 1943.
During the war years, while
dad was in Europe, Mom
worked at North American
Aviation in Kansas City,
Kansas, as a technical illus-
trator helping the war effort
by building B-25s. After the
war Rosemary was hired by
the second-largest advertis-
ing agency in Kansas City,
where she worked for 10
years.
She and Joe raised two
daughters and Rosemary
continued to expand her
artistic horizons in fine arts
and portraiture. Rosemary
was one of the founding
artists who initiated the
Mid-Winter Art Fair at Ward
Parkway Shopping Center
in South Kansas City.
In 1984, Joe and Rose-
mary moved to Venice.


Mom was active in the
music world in Venice and
Sarasota, playing piano at
local clubs, restaurants and
for private engagements.
She played piano for several
charity benefit events, in-
cluding the Leukemia Soci-
ety of America, American
Cancer Society and Ameri-
can Heart Association. Her
most important artistic
contribution was a painting
commissioned by the Cath-
olic Diocese of Venice: a 10-
foot by 15-foot oil of Bern-
adette's Vision at Lourdes
for Our Lady of Lourdes
Catholic Church in Venice.
The painting is the center-
piece above the altar and
the church's focal point.
Rosemary was preceded
in death by her husband,
Joe. She leaves her daugh-
ters, Patrice Haynes (Bill)
and Krista Klein (Michael);
her sister, Betty Cottier, lives
in Tulsa, Okla. She also
leaves her grandson,
George Shalda, and his wife,
Laura, of Austin, Texas.
Services: A service of
remembrance will be at a
later date at Our Lady of
Presentation. Arrangements

Don't let thieves slide inside


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER


Your lanai doors may be
your window to paradise;
but they can also become
an entryway for burglars.
Sliding doors can be the
weakest link to an otherwise
secure house. Even a
locked-glass door can be
lifted off the track.
Detective Howard Dunn
of the Venice Police De-
partment has several sug-
gestions on how to keep
someone from accessing
your property through the
lanai.
'"Actually, anything that

A small lock installed at the
sliding glass door can stop
burglars from lifting the door
off its track.


makes it tougher for a bur-
glar to get into your house is
a deterrent," he said.
Most burglars want quick
entry into an area; if they
can't get in easily, they will
just move onto another
house, Dunn said.
A bracket-type lock
keeps the door from moving
in the track. If the door can't
move, it can't be compro-
mised, said Dunn.
William Puyear of B&D
Lock and Key, Venice, said
that the device was invent-
ed by a man in Miami 40
years ago.
"The original purpose of
the lock was to keep the kids
out of the pool," he said.


Each lock is drilled into
the door at the bottom of the
jamb and has an open/close
button for easy access. The
locks cost about $20 each,
installed. This type of lock
can only be used on non-
hurricane resistant glass
doors.
'"A different lock has to be
used on thicker hurricane-
glass doors," Puyear said.
For this type of entryway, a
permanent screw-in lock can
be attached to the door and a
security bar placed in the
track of the opposite door.
These locks secure the thick-
er sliding doors, but are hard-
er to remove if the owner
wants to open the door.


No chances
Even with added protec-
tion, residents must re-
member to keep their home
and car doors locked.
"There was a rash of car
burglaries recently in gated
communities," he said, "al-
most all due to unlocked
doors. Young adults go
down the street grabbing on
car-door handles."
Dunn said that Venice is
not a high-crime area, but
he recommended locking
all doors just to be safe.
"Why take the chance?"
he said.

OUR VIEW



We can come up with a real tax relief plan


he clock is ticking.
On Jan. 29 Floridi-
ans will be asked to
decide whether to cut pro-
perty taxes by $9.3 billion.
The ballot question is long
and difficult to understand.
Of the $9.3 billion cut,
schools believe they will
come up $2.7 billion short
In the next five years.
That's why the Florida Ed-
ucation Association don-
ated $300,000 to defeat the
proposal.
There also is a million-
person coalition of teach-
ers, government workers
and the League of Women
Voters that wants you to
vote "no."
Teachers, policemen, fiwe-


fighters, ambulance drivers
and others have been warn-
ed they could lose their jobs
if the measure passes.
Proponents argue these
are scare tactics to defeat
the amendment.
Gov. Charlie Crist arg-
ues: "Five or six years ago,
before we had the run up
(in property values), guess
what? They still had fire-
fighters and police. This
argument just doesn't hold
water."
Yet others say most
home owners will save just
$240 a year if the amend-
mentpasses-hardlymean-
ingful relief.
Out-of-state owners of
homes in Florida and


those who own business
property would see future
increases in their assess-
ments held to 10 percent.
During the housing boom
assessments increased
more than that in a year
for some.
Groups in favor of pas-
sages are well heeled and
influential.
The Florida Association
of Realtors donated $1.5
million to support the tax
cut, while Florida Power &
Light is providing $250,000.
Outdoor advertisers gave
$66,000 while the Florida
Medical Association has
chipped in $50,000.
The measure passes
only if 60 percent of all vot-


ers are in favor of the am-
endment.
Crist, who called for a
property tax relief during
his 2006 campaign, may
be taking a political risk by
leading the fight in favor of
passage. If his effort fails,
he could lose some of his
political clout.
The constitutional am-
endment is nearly 500
words long. Veteran obser-
vers argue the more com-
plicated a ballot question,
the more likely it is to fail.
Some of those who have
already received absentee
ballots have called to have
someone explain the mea-
sure.
It has a little for every-


one. It doubles the home-
stead exemption for homes
worth more than $50,000,
but that does not apply to
school taxes.
The real estate industry
is said to be in love with
the "portability" portion of
the proposal, which allows
home owners to keep their
3-percent annual assess-
ment cap under the Save
Our Homes program if
they move.
Commercial and non-
homestead property would
get a 10-percent assess-
ment cap for 10 years. That
doesn't help much, but it's
better than nothing, and
there will be a $25,000
exemption for business


equipment and other per-
sonal tangible property.
House Speaker Marco
Rubio opposes the January
measure and supports a
plan to cap all taxes at 1.3
percent of a property's just
value. A group called Cut
Property Taxes Now is
rushing to gather 611,009
signatures by Feb. 1 to get
that proposal on the Nov-
ember 2008 ballot. Some
say it has a better chance
of success if the Jan. 29
measure fails.
Our general position on
all constitutional amend-
ments is "just say no." This
amendment is a poster
child for that stand. We
recommend a "no" vote.


2K7 what a year! FAN ANOTHER IMMMANT)


BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST


It was a year with a lot of
ups and downs, many ac-
complishments and many
things left undone.
It was a year of a contin-
ued real estate and building
slowdown, helping fuel an
economic downturn that
rippled through all aspects
of our lives.
Yet, there were a lot of po-
sitives.
Many road projects were
completed: Center Road,
Colonia, and Border roads
and the extension to Pine-
brook Road. Heck, we even
got beautiful medallions at
the intersection of Colonia
and Albee Farm Road and
Albee Road and U.S. 41,
with another to come to the
Nokomis area. Two lanes
over the Nokomis Skyway
opened with thoughts the
other four should be open
by the end of the decade.
Many parts of the Nokomis
road project are complete.
The South County Family
YMCN opened its $8 mil-
lion-plus facility named the
Michael and Georgia Miller
YMCA. It is the biggest of its
kind in Southwest Florida.
The Boys & Girls Club
opened a new facility off Gulf
Coast Boulevard, bringing
great after-school and sum-
mer programs for school-age
kids at very affordable costs.
The Venetian Waterway
Park was completed. on
both the east and west sides
of the intracoastal, as was
the trailhead, the old cham-
ber building, next to the
Hatchett Creek Bridge. That
serves as Venice Area Beau-
tification's worldwide head-
quarters and clubhouse.
Other good news was
that the decision was made
that Venice High School
would be rebuilt at its present
location. After the school
board voted to keep it at the
current location, the admin-
istration went out and looked
at new locations. (go figure).
Then the board voted again
to keep it at the current site.
A long-awaited wellness
center at the high school is
to move forward (for about
the third year in a row) with
a flew location next to the
gym.
Venice Regional Medical
Center tore down the old
York Building behind the
hospital and is finishing a
parking lot there. It also just
opened a beautiful ambula-
tory care wing on the fourth
floor. The hospital will be


totally redoing the second
floor next.
HMA has spent more
than $20 million since tak-
ing over the reins from Bon
Secours. If things don't work
out, the way it's exterior is
decorated it would make a
great Home Depot. VRMC
was named in the top 100 of
cardiac care hospitals; no
other in the area was on the
list.
A new hotel was appro-
ved that will be six stories
with a revolving restaurant
on top. That will be on Ave-
nue del Circo. That is in
addition to two other hotels
in Nokomis approved on
the corner of Albee Road
and U.S. 41.
There was more beautifi-
cation done, with the dedi-
cation of murals behind the
Gondolier Sun print center,
at the youth fountain and at
Michael Biehl Park next to
the Venice Little Theatre.
There is a cute mural across
from Gold Rush BBQ dedi-
cated to the circus and one
going up on Barclay Phar-
macy's wall.
If that isn't enough good
things, add to that the dedi-
cation of the Arboretum in
West Blalock Park, another
Venice Area Beautification
project.
Yet new taxes, airport
development proposals, the
Tra Ponti project and then
the city elections were the
biggest stories of the year.
We voted ourselves a con-
Jinuation of the 1-cent sales
surtax to go until .2024 to
fund civic and government
projects. A performing arts
hall was at the top of the list.
That will be at the high
school to be used with the
school.
The county threatened
the cities that it would force
a ballot issue on growth in
the county if the cities did
not agree to a joint planning
agreement. The cities com-
plied and then the county
put the measure on the bal-
lot anyway. It passed over-
whelmingly.
There was fallout with
hard feelings from the coun-
ty's double-cross. One such
issue was a roundabout to be
installed at East Venice Ave-
nue and Jacaranda Boule-
vard.
Developers presented
plans to develop the air-
port. There was an uproar
about why it was being dev-
eloped, at least to the scale
that was being proposed.
After being bombarded by
residents and golfers and
environmentalists, the coun-
cil decided to hold public
workshops on how it should
be developed. The first round
was held in the summer
with the next round to take
place in December.
The stunning landslide

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS



Good service is worth the cost


Editor:
What's so new and innovative about a finder's fee? We
have been doing them for years without extra cost for addi-
tional packages for lock boxes, signs, taking pictures, phone
calls to the tenant for late rent, notices, etc. That's a gimme,
if you will.
With any finder's fee, you find the tenant, perform the
credit and background check, collect the security deposit
and rent as agreed. Then we are out and the owner takes
over.
With a full-service agreement, if any maintenance issues
arise which will, trust me, even in the brand-new homes
- we use licensed and insured vendors or contractors. Or
you can use your own people, that's up to you. We will glad-
ly get estimates at no extra cost.
Bottom line, they care about our tenant relations and
comfort as we do, and have a high integrity and work ethic.
There are no hidden costs for this service.
I believe strongly in a service-oriented business and high
communication. Looking out for the owner and taking
great care of his or her investment is top priority, as it
should be.
Finding a great tenant is what we do, and in the long run
worth waiting for. Anyone who has stuck just any tenant in
their investment is shaking their head in agreement.
In today's market there are a lot of rentals out there, sales
are slow and a lot of people who didn't want to be landlords
are doing so to offset some costs. Bottom-line pricing is key
with no gimmicks. It's a supply-and-demand issue.

Editor:
I just enjoyed reading
your article on DARN and
TARC. However, your article
is misleading in several areas.
Ham radio is not restrict-
ed to "short-range and,
therefore, needs) tilic help of
other radios and towers if
the need is far from Venice."
What you are talking about
is a particular range of fre-
quencies in the UHF/VHF
part of the radio spectrum,
where "repeaters" are com-
monplace. Ham radio in fact
is limited only by propaga-
tion in parts of the radio
spectrum, which right now
is at the low point of its 11-


year cycle, but still can man-
age effective long-distance
communication, which I
define as thousands of miles.
There are many ama-
teurs who use the moon
itself as a passive reflector in
something called "moon-
bounce." This morning I
communicated with Ice-
land, European Russia, Ita-
ly, Montenegro and several
other European counties.
'Another reason ham ra-
dios are perfect in times of
disaster is they don't require
electricity to. operate." Well,
actually they do require
some sort of electrical pow-
er, whether it is battery or
generator provided.
Nevertheless, I do appre-
ciate your article, though


misinformed. I have been a
licensed amateur for 40 years
and a member of RACES
(Radio Amateur Civil Emer-
gency Service) as well as
radio officer in that organi-
zation, and special assistant
to the director of Emergency
Management in Middle-
town, N.J. I am currently a
member of the EA.R.S. (En-
glewood Amateur Radio So-
ciety.)

So what do we do?

Editor:
Reading your article,
"County air quality in bot-
tom five," I was surprised
and concerned.
However, I was also dis-
appointed since your article
failed to explain probable
local causes of increasing
ozone, carbon monoxide
and nitrogen dioxide levels.
The article fails to inform
the public so they can take
action to improve the situa-
tion.

Don't stay home alone

Editor:
Last year I wrote an arti-
cle on the good work the
Salvation Army does. This
year I repeat myself, as I
have no family, about what
the Salvation Army does for
those alone in this world.
Let us show our appreci-
ation for all the work done
to fulfill happiness for those
all alone. So many problems
in this life. I think back and
remember all I had and all I


did only to find I am left
with so little.
I always enjoyed doing,
giving to people neither ask-
ing nor expecting anything
in return. I enjoyed last year
and again this year. There is
no excuse for anyone to stay
alone. Get out and smell the
roses.
This war was uncalled
for, losing all our boys and
people losing their homes
and jobs. The worst is yet to
come. I see it. I hope those
out there will see it too.
As we get older, we com-
plain about our pains, etc.
Look back and now ahead.
The worst is to come.
I thank God for what I
have and a place I call home.
I am no longer alone. Let us
count our blessings for what
we have now and not in the
past. Let us be happy and
not hurt anyone. There's far
too much hurt in this world
today.
Let our prayers be with
everyone.

Rule breakers
ruin it for all

Editor:
We were at Brohard Beach
today to watch the sunset.
There were eight dogs whose
owners took them beyond
the confines of the Paw Park.
Four groups led the dogs
right past where we and oth-
ers were sitting on the beach.
I do not think it is right to
have dogs piddling, or worse,
where children might be
playing tomorrow.

No way to run an airline


CHRISTY ARNOLD
GUEST COLUMNIST


Explain this to me ...
"We overbooked your
flight."
"It's a crew issue. We
don't have enough crews to
work."
"Let me see if another
airline will take you ...
NOPE!"
Airlines X actually

celed hundreds of flights
over the last few days. Some
of them were weather-relat-

council challengers likely
changed the way this project
and Tra Ponti will be looked
at. The challengers ran on a
slower growth platform cen-
tered on less height and
density.
The Tra Ponti project -
the project east of Business
41 between Tampa and Ven-
ice avenues got a lot of
publicity throughout the
year. Again, people were
upset at the height and
condo-hotel aspects, along
with some other exceptions
to normal development in


ed. I understand that. I do.
Here's what I don't un-
derstand...
About a week before I
was scheduled to fly to Chi-
cago, Airlines U called.
"We overbooked your
return flight," the woman
said.
"You guys must have
really overbooked this one
if you are calling me a week
ahead of time," I said.
She asked if I could fly
back into Tampa instead of
Fort Myers a few hours ear-
lier. Sure. No big deal.
I flew to Chicago last
Saturday. My first flight had
been canceled (due to
weather again, I under-
stand) but I made it there...
about six hours late.
Then, the wonderful
folks at Airlines U called me
on Christmas Eve. Actually,
no real person called me.
They cared so much about
their customers they had a
recorded message for me:


the city. It has since been
resubmitted with less height
(four stories) and no con-
dos. This has not been acted
on by council.
At the same time the
challengers got elected, vot-
ers approved the so-called
the super-majority vote for
the county commission. This
was an anti-growth measure
to require at least four coun-
ty commissioners, approve
changes to the density it the
comprehensive plan.
One ballot item that was
turned down was a big up-
grade of Ed Smith Stadium
for the Cincinnati Reds.
Another project, the Re-


"Your flight ... has been
canceled."
Oh, I'm so glad I gave up
my seat on my original
flight. Merry Christmas to
me.
I spent the next 47 min-
utes on the phone trying to
get on a flight.
This was the best they
could do: Chicago to Ro-
anoke, Va., to Charlotte,
N.C., to Fort Myers.
"Why is the flight can-
celed?" I asked the agent.
Not enough crew mem-
bers.
Umm ... and this is my
problem how? Are you
going to give me a voucher?
"I can't, but you can call
this 1-800 number..."
OK, good, another hour
of cell phone minutes wast-
ed while I say, '"AGENT" ...
"AGENT" ... 'AAAAGEENN

The developer came back
with a Wal-Mart instead.
This has been controversial.
for those in North Venice
who wanted a new, upscale
shopping area. It is still un-
der review.
There were a lot of busi-
nesses that closed: many
old-timers, like Denny's, Ap-
pliance Depot, Claudia's,
Cox Lumber and Badcocks,
and some newer ones, like
Vincenzo's restaurant and
Mark Fore & Strike, which

I'm even going to spare
you the details of how U.S.
Airways (which took me
from Charlotte, N.C., to Fort
MyersY didn't even have me
registered on its flight be-
cause of yet another Air-
lines U screwup. Even its
agents were cursing Air-
lines U.
"They've done this to us
all weekend."
Fortunately for me, two
people missed their flights
so I took one of their seats.
Phew!
How does this happen?
No other line -of business
gets away with so much
poor management.
When you call the Sun
newspaper offices, you
never have to say, "AGENT"
or "HELP" Almost always,


will close for good in Janu-
ary.
Many new ones opened,
such as the, Lucky Dog
Diner in the old diner in
front of the hospital. It has
art deco colors not in keep-
ing with any color scheme
in the city.
When the state called for
rollbacks in the city's and
county's property tax levies,
each made sweeping staff
reductions, increased fees
and cut services. Library
hours were cut, organiza-
tions were charged for police
service and much more. It is
likely this trend will continue
- and worsen.

Not adding up. In regard
to the roundabout safety
article in Friday's Gondolier
Sun, there were 95 accidents
from 2001 through 2006.
The Sarasota County con-
sultant anticipates only 35
accidents annually if the in-
tersection is converted into
a roundabout. Within six
years, that Would total up to
210 accidents. I don't see
where a roundabout is a
better deal.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Good
catch. The story should have
said there would be 35 acci-
dents estimated at the inter-
section for the same amount
of time if it had a roundabout.

'08 Solid Waste guide helps with
holiday trash
Just in time to help you dispose of all the holiday
trimmings, disintegrating Christmas trees and New
Year's tinsel comes Sarasota County's 2008 How-to
Guide for Residential Solid Waste. It arrives in the mail
to nearly 150,000 county customers who then have no
excuses about how tall that tree can be at the curb or
if leftover gift wrap goes in the garbage or recycling bin
(answer. it goes in the garbage).
New this year to the guide is an expanded section on
household hazardous waste. The guide also features
what is and is not recyclable, how to handle storm
debris and the six locations where residents can pick
up free compost and mulch.
The guide has detailed instructions for how to handle
disposal of used or expired medications and needles
and lancets. It also includes all the items that are not
eligible for pick-up, but can still be taken to the landfill
for a nominal fee.

If you don't receive a guide in the mail and
would like a copy of the 2008 How-to Guide for
Residential Solid Waste, contact the Sarasota
County Call Center at 941-861-5000 and ask for
Solid Waste customer service,

The Venice High School
girls basketball team was
just eight points from being
in the championship game
of the 4th-Annual Willie
Clemons Classic at ,South-
east High School.
The Indians lost in the
first round 37-34 to River-
view High School. .They lost
by three again in the conso-
lation round 42-39 to North
Port High School.
Venice finally picked up a
win, a 56-35 throttling of
Seminole High School, in
the consolation of the con-
solation bracket.
"The kids worked hard all
three games, unfortunately
we played two tough teams.
We had a tough bracket,
otherwise we could have
been playing for a higher
position but we played two
of the best teams that were
in the tournament and we
happened to play them the
first two games," Venice
Head Coach Bruce Reichen-
bach said.
The Indians had a shot at
winning their first consola-
tion game Friday afternoon
against North Port.
Venice trailed the Bob-
cats for nearly the entire
game, but cut the lead to 40-
39 after two free-throws by
Kristen Jutras with less than
10 seconds to play. North'
Port answered with a two-
point basket, then swatted
the ball out of bounds un-
demeath Venice's goal with
three seconds remaining.
Jen Thoennissen in-bound-
ed the ball to Lauren Ramey
at the top of the key, but
Ramey missed the potential
tying three-pointer as time

On Saturday against Sem-
inole, although they weren't
even competing for place-
ment, Venice played like it
was their championship.
The Indians came right out
and made their first five
shot attempts. By the end of
the first quarter, Venice led
16-6. By halftime, the Venice
defense had surrendered
just 9 points.
Seminole battled back,
though, and outscored the
Indians 14-8 in the third
quarter.
"We had a little bit of a
letdown from the first half,"
Reichenbach said. "We real-
ly controlled the game in
the first half defensively. I
think the kids were a little
tired, a little fatigued but
give [Seminole] credit, they
didn't give up, they worked
hard. I got a little worried
when it got down to 13 but I
still thought we were in con-
trol of the game."
The Indians returned to
first-half form in the fourth
quarter to win by 21.
Venice made 21 trips to
the foul line Saturday ag-
ainst Seminole, a stat that
Reichenbach hopes devel-
ops into a trend.
"One thingwe did do was
get the ball to the basket
and get to the foul line," he
said. "We're a good foul
shooting team. We've made
it a little contest now. We
*want every player to go to
the line at least once, if all
ten players don't go to the
free throw line, that's ten
line drills."
Only two Indians failed
to reach the foul line, so
that's just two line drills
when they return to prac-
ticd this week.
: "We need to get our scor-
ing average up 10 points
and it's going to come from
the free throw line. If we can
do that every game, it's
going to help us. If we can
score 55 points per game,
we're, going to win. a lot
more games."
Although Venice didn't
place in the tournament,
Jen Thoennissen did make


the registration fee.

Venice rally falls short in


semis of Holiday Classic


BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

The Venice High School
boys basketball team fell for
just the second time this
season Friday.
The Indians (9-2, 4-1)
trailed by as much as 15 in
the second quarter, rallied
to take the lead in the
fourth, but fell short 51-47
to Tampa Middleton High
School in the semifinals of
the Gulf Coast Holiday
Classic Basketball Tourna-
ment.
"Nobody likes to lose,, I
just think they were a better
team than us tonight," Ven-
ice Head Coach Steve Cav-
allaro said. "But that's the
kind of competition we look
to play in these kinds of
tournaments so hopefully
in the long run it pays off
that we can play with bigger
and stronger teams."
Middleton (11-3, 6-2) got
off to a good start shooting
the ball, hitting 12 of 20 field
.goals in the first half. The
Tigers led 25-10 late in the
second quarter, but the
Indians came roaring back
with a 10-2 run culminated
by a Trey Burton three-
pointer to end the half.
Venice outscored the
Tigers 13-9 in the third


quarter to cut the lead to 36-'
33 at the start of the fourth.
Burton started the final per-
iod with two baskets and
two free throws to give Ven-
ice their only lead of, the
game at 39-38.
It was short lived. Tyler
Christian, Brandon Wilkin-
son and Justin Grant each,
added a field goal to dose
the game, but two consecu-
tive three-point plays by
Middletn's K-ChirN Arfield,
gave thet Tigers an-minsur-
mountable seven-point lead
with less than a minute to
play '
"I thought we had it there
at the end," Cavallaro said.
"I thought we were doing
the right things and just a
few bounces one way and a
few other things the other
way and it just didn't hap-
pen for us. It's alright, it's a
good learning experience."
Anfield led Middleton
with 24 points and five re-
bounds, followed by Alph-,
onso Sheppard with 11 and'
four and Cory Thomas with
8 three. Middleton's Jay
Bowie also had five re-
bounds.
The Indians had three
players in double digits.
Burton finished with 14
points and six rebounds,
followed by Grant with 11


and four and Christian with
10 and three..Wilkinson fin-
ished the game with nine
points and four rebounds.
With the loss, Venice falls
into the consolation bracket
of the Holiday Classic. They

Patete captures fall series


BY JABBO GORDON
CORRESPONDENT


Cara Patete sailed her Op-
timist Dinghy to six firsts in
the nine-race Fall Series,
hosted by the Venice Youth
Boating Association, officials
announced Thursday.
The series started in Aug-
ust and ran throughout the
autumn with races sched-
uled on Saturdays when the
local sailors were not partici-
pating in out-of-town regat-
tas as a group. However, skip-
pers have the option of going
to regattas on their own even
ifVYBA does not attend as an
association.
Patete andAubhic'v kh.ah-
etoorian attended the Naples
Cup Regatta in November
although the rest of their
teammates stayed here. Ra-
ther than penalize them for
being absent, the two re-
ceived regatta points, which
are an average of scores they


garner when sailing here.
Most of the races were
held on Roberts Bay al-
though some took place on
the Gulf of Mexico.
In a few cases, there were
some ties between sailors
when the final scores came
in, but VYBA officials used
the Racing Rules of Sailing
system for breaking those
ties. Also, sailors are required
to sail in at least hI lf tl rt iace-
to be eligible for a trophy.
Patete won dithe Red, White
and Blue Il'cet coiiipti'iion
with 9.6 points Alidcia Mus-
caro tallied 26 points to place
second and Paul Kreider
mustered 31 points to take
third.
In the Green Fleet, con-
sisting of first year competi-
tors, Stephan VerHulst grab-
bed top honors with 16
markers. Khachetoorian was
second with 24.3 while Gar-
rett Lawlor came in third
with 25.


VYBAs Portsmouth Fleet
is for skippers who have
graduated from the Optimist
Dinghy class. Bryan White
registered 13 points to cap-
ture first place with his Laser
Radial class sailboat.
Kyle D'Arcangelis sailed
his Sunfish to the second
spot with 16 points. Mallory
Phillips, who sails in a 420
class vessel, finished third.
The top three in each fleet
will receive trophies at an
awards ceremony Jan. 5. The
Winter Series is already un-
derway
Venice Youth Boating As-
sociation is taking applica-
tions for a learn to sail pro-
gram which will begin June 2.
There will be five two-week
sessions (Monday through
Friday) throughout the sum-
mer and youngsters can
attend either from 9 a.m. to
noon or from 1 to 4 p.m. For
more information, call Jabbo
Gordon at 468-1719.

Venice residents Jan and Roscoe Turner hold some of the Thai chil-
dren they have helped on their many trips to Thailand these past few
years.



M usic, anniversaries, people, organi-

zations and turtles were in the
news in Venice this past year.
Rather than trying to pick the top stories in Vi
Our Town this year, we chose stories that
showcase the unique people and organiza-
tions that make Venice what it is a city
that loves the arts and a city with caring
people who help others near and far. s
All that jazz
A tribute concert early in the year to the
late jazz musician Bob Haggart was fol- i
lowed later in the year by the announce-
ment that the Jazz Club of Sarasota would
be holding a series of its concerts in Venice.
Kicking off that series was a concert at the
Gazebo featuring Dick Hyman, world-
famous pianist, composer and jazz musi-
cian. Hyman, a Venice resident, constantly
contributes time and talent to this area. His
next Venice appearance will be Jan. 12 at 4
p.m. at the Venice Church of the Nazarene,
when he will perform a tribute concert in
memory of another Venice area mover and 4
shaker, the late Use Kern. The concert is a
fundraiser for the Sarasota Opera and being
organized by the Venice Opera Guild.
Tickets are $30 and available at the Venice
Stationers and the Paper pad.
A second tribute concert to Bob Haggart &
will be at 7:30 p.m. March 15 at the Church
of the Nazarene.
World outreach
While Hyman has brought the musical
world to Venice, Roscoe Turner and his wife
Jan have been carrying love, concern and
hard work to several areas of Thailand.
Their personal efforts to help that country
recover from the devastation of the tsunami Doris Yates has been

volunteers from Canada .and Australia as

Meals on Wheels continues to be a big
deal in Venice where more than 100 volun-
teers deliver 140 or more meals on 14
routes, six days a week (including holidays)
to shut-ins, the elderly and others who are
unable to either get out for a meal or to
cook a full meal at home. The Venice area
runs from Blackburn Point Road on the
north, south to Manasota Key Road and
east to Interstate 75 and the Myakka River.
Meals consist of an entree, two vegetables,

dessert and salad. Recipients provide their
own beverage and bread. More im-portant
is the social interaction between the deliv-
erers and the recipients.
Love grows
Loveland Center expanded with the
addition of the Carl J. Penxa Jr. Senior
Center built on its Havana Road campus by
Fiqelity Homes with help from more than
30 local companies. The center will offer
housing activities for Loveland's aging pop-
ulation who require assistance in maintain-
ing their physical and mental skills as they
age. If ever there were an example of the
abundance of love in Venice, it is Loveland,
which serves 110 learning disabled adults,
training them to become productive mem-
bers of the community.
Turtles always need help
During sea turtle season, May 1-Oct. 31,
a dedicated group of trained sea turtle vol-
unteers patrol the Venice beaches daily,
looking for signs of new nests or, later in the
season, of hatching. Others contribute to
the efforts to protect the endangered crea-
tures, by working to educate citizens to
douse lights that might reflect on the
beaches and disorient the turtles as they
come and go late at night This year the tur-
tles gained ground in the lighting area but
lost to some early season storms that
destroyed nests.
New year dawning
As we enter 2008, get out and explore
your city. See a great play or musical at the
Venice Little Theatre. Stop in at the Venice
Art Center to see its varied shows. Check
out the Rotary Art Fest in downtown Venice
in January. Attend a concert of the Venice
Symphony- if you are lucky enough to get
a ticket. Attend a concert by the Venice
Concert Band or a program of the Venice
Opera Guild. Stop in at Harmony House on
a Sunday afternoon for jazz.
Volunteer your time and make some
wonderful friends as you build sets at the
VIT, help out at Venice Regional Medical
Center, work at one of the local thrift stores
that benefit so many different organiza-
tions or deliver meals on wheels.
Venice is all the better for its caring peo-
ple who get out and make a difference every
day of the year, making a difference in their
own lives at the same time.
Have a happy and healthy NewYear as all
of you continue to make a difference in
Venice and around the world.

#6 A woman starts
screaming continuously
for no reason at all. It's
some type of virus. In the
end 73 women are scream-

Control seeks cure.
#5 Man glues all
three bridges closed so no
boats can enter the water-
way. Police say it was a
"lone glueman," but sus-
pect Hugh Dadius is shot
in police headquarters. His
last words are: "I'm a pas-
try."
#4 Local developer
plans hotel complex and
suggests dressing up wait-
ers, waitresses and other
hotel staff as Roman
slaves. National headlines.
Al Sharpton comes to city
for protest march with
100,000 supporters.
#3 City holds first
Ecineville Festival from
Hell. Mayhem and anar-
chy. Forty car salesmen
stuffed into one car, insur-

the idea.

media, attacks Ecineville.

BY BOB MUDGE
EDITOR

In the spirit of the new year out
with the old, in with the new here
are some new headline wisecracks,
followed by some of my personal
favorites from the previous 11
columns like this.
That's my personal favorites; there's
no guarantee you'll like them any bet-
ter now than you did then.
Teen figuring out a schedule that
might not include men. (That teen
would not, of course, be Jamie Lynn
Spears.)
Rapper misses gun-charge hear-
ing. (A rapper was charged with a gun-
law violation? He's going to give the
whole genre a bad name.)
1* Giants fans sell out to Pats follow-
ers. (Ah, business as usual in the Big
Apple.)
House members spent $20.3M on
mailings. (And that's just to enter the


Publishers Clearinghouse Sweep-
stakes; imagine how much they waste
mailing crap to us.)
Iowa voter butters up Obama.
(This just in: Obama drops out of the
race, citing cholesterol concerns.)
Jolie named top celebrity do-
gooder. (I voted for Britney Spears, for
all she did to show her little sister how
not to behave. What a waste of time,
when she could have joined that con-
vent, liked she planned.)
Library of Congress picks 25 more
films. (Come on, in this economy? The
late fees could be murder.)
Fed chief sees built-in market
curb. (Dude, we tripped over the curb
and landed sprawled out in the street;
we want to know how to keep from
getting run over.)
Bette Davis eyes stamp in New
Year. (Huh?)
No more Borat, All G for Baron
Cohen. (Right. Give him a couple of
flops and he'll be doing "Borat 2"


quicker than you can say, "Eddie
Murphy")
National Zoo's panda might be
pregnant. ("I never had sexual rela-
tions with that woman ...')
Energizer buying Playtex for $1.16
billion. ("The longest-lasting battery.
Cross our hearts.")
German has pencil in head
removed after 55 years. (If there are no
complications, he's going to have the
letter opener taken out next.)
Film leaves Chan in "excruciat-
ing" pain. (That's why a lot of actors
don't watch their own movies, Jackie.)
Title of "Indiana Jones" movie
revealed. (You saw it here first:
"Indiana Jones and the AARP of the
Covenant.")
Toyota shows off new muscular
Lexus. (It's time to broaden the
steroids investigation.)
Taco Bell takes its cuisine to
Mexico. (And you think illegal immi-
gration is a problem now?)

next issue with more news
from Ecineville. Until then,
remember, we will be
opening the main gate of
the wall so 100 of you may
leave for the real world.
The 100 will be selected
based on how annoying

remain here in Ecineville.
That is all.

While "'
lower-back pain often
results from lifting heavy
objects incorrectly or
having inadequate muscle
strength to keep the spine in
alignment, upper-back pain is
usually caused by poor posture. A
good example of this pain-inducing
posture is the position that many
office workers assume while hunched
at their desks. This improper posture
overstresses the muscles at the base of
the neck. As they battle to hold the
head upright, intervertebral discs
become -strained, ligaments pull, and
muscle imbalances arise. The
resulting pain may lead many to
the chiropractor. Long-term relief
may be best realized by adhering
to the posture recommendations
and a, program of stretching
exercises presented by the
chiropractor in hopes of staving off
further problems.

FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST
Often writers review the
news in their last column of
the year. I decided to do the


same, excpt Frm sharing
Kodak moments I didn't
capture on camera. Instead,
the moments captured my
heart.
At a luncheon at the
Venice Yacht Club, the Ve-
nice High School state
champion. baseball players
introduce themselves.
I heard, "I am Jason Kauf-
mann; I play right field." A
few minutes later Coach
Craig Faulkner added, "Ja-
son also pitches. He was the
winning pitcher in the state
championship game."


Linda Trigg organizes the
Veterans Day program at
Venice Elementary School. A
magical moment occurred
when her students had the
chance to see her over-
whelmed with emotion as
the representative fromVFW
Post 159 presented her with
the first-ever American Citi-
zen Award from the post for
her work honoring veterans.
My heart swelled when I
watched my two grand-
daughters win awards at the
Venice Elementary School
Science Fair. Later when I


congratulated Tali, the 9-
year-old, she said, "I am just
happy Mariska won." Ma-
riska is her little sister.
The Venice Tiger Bay Club
held a candidates forum.
Candidate Ed Martin stood
up, looked at the crowd and
said, "I love Venice."
After the Venice election,
Jim Woods congratulated
Sue Lang on her victory.
The Businesswomen's
Conference included key-
note speaker Nancy Detert,
who told the group, "Don't
take yourself so seriously."


Later she added, "The great-
est compliment I get is that
I am honest."
One of my favorite peo-
,ple is Andy Britton, and I
wasn't surprised when he
helped get a doggie drink-
ing fountain on the walk-
way behind the Venice
Gondolier Sun for his dog
Annie and her friends.
One of the most inspir-
ing moments came as Dr.
Michael Jaquith expressed
thanks to God for giving
him his beautiful daughter
- who died after an acci-


dent on'her horse if only
for a short time. He called
her a gift.
' I saw Melody Trimble,
CEO of Venice Regional
Medical Center, carrying
the hospital banner leading
the volunteers down Venice
Avenue during the Christ-
mas Parade.
And, the sign expressing
"Happy Birthday Jesus"
made me think how blessed
we are to live in a city where
we are free to express our
faith.
Happy new year.

FRESH AIR


Meet a true snow bird



-the long-eared owl


4

iv


4


eared owl can be found in
Southern and Central Ca-
nada, but not as far north
as Hudson Bay.
Long-eared owls are qui-
et birds during daylight
hours, so a dozen or so may
be living in a dense ever-
green grove without being
discovered. They do make a
variety of sounds, however,
including cat-like meows,
as well as hoots, whistles,
whines and shrieks. These
sounds are usually heard
only during mating season,
which doesn't include their
time spent in Florida.
Long-eared owls are al-
so hard to locate because
they roost close- to the
trunks of trees and appear
to be a part of the trunk
itself. Looking upward, you
might be able to spot the
facial disks and the ear
tufts of along-eared owl.
I think the best way to
discover long-eared owls in
piney woods is to look
down for groups of their
pellets on the ground. The
pellets are bundles of re-
gurgitated undigested fur
and bones from the prey
the owls have caught. The
pellets also provide an
excellent indication of


what the birds have been
eating. Owls have sharp
talons and strong hooked
beaks for killing their prey.
They are not, however, re-
lated to hawks, which are
similarly equipped for
hunting.
There are 18 species of
owls in North America.
Most hunt actively at night,
and this group includes the
long-eared owl.
By-the way, most species
of owls don't build their own
nests. They either use the
abandoned stick nests of
other birds, or nest in hol-
low trees, including moving
into abandoned squirrel
nests. Rarely, owls will nest
in small cavities on cliffs or
on the ground. All owl spe-
cies lay white eggs.
Generally, I believe owls
make excellent neighbors
because they tend to eat
what we humans consider
to be pest species, includ-
ing rabbits, rodents, lizards
and frogs.
Here's wishing you and
all your critter neighbors a
happy and peaceful new
year.

winning photography at

Pellets on the ground showed me where to look in the trees.

SUN NEWSPAPERS-


Frank Lloyd Wright left his mark in western Pennsylvania


BY SUSAN CAIRO
STAFF WRITER

Although Fallingwater
was constructed in 1936,
Frank Lloyd Wright's most
acclaimed work was again
in the news last Christmas
when Brad Pitt and Ange-
lina Jolie posed in front of
the architectural master-
piece for their holiday card.
It is a fitting backdrop for
the environmental advo-
cates, because the archi-
tect's creation was designed
to harmonize with the land
on which it was built.
Set in the middle of a for-
est in western Pennsylvania,
the structure is positioned


on a solid, high-rock ledge.
The structure is built beside
and over a waterfall on Bear
Run, a rushing Pennsylva-
nia mountain stream.
Wright once said that the
original owner, Edgar J.
Kaufmann, loved the setting
because he enjoyed listen-
ing to the sound of water
moving down the moun-
tain. The architect mirrored
the natural pattern of falling
water cascading from rock
ledges in the design of his
structure.
A series of concrete,
"trays," anchored to mason-
ry walls made of sandstone,
resemble the rocks over
which the water cascades in


the adjacent river.
The house rises more
than 30 feet above the falls,
but is sheltered by low ceil-
ings and horizontal lines. It
is uniquely accented by out-
door terraces.
Wright counterbalanced
the structure by locating the
bulk of the house in the back.
He then extended floors in
horizontal bands that are
shaped like the rock terraces
of the falls.
The structure hovers over
the water forming an art-
work of glass and concrete.
The building is painted in
brighter colors to offset the
,gray of the stone-mountain
ledges.


All-time best
The Kaufmann family
used Fallingwater in all sea-
sons as a weekend or vaca-
tion home until the 1950s,
when their son inherited it.
Edgar Kaufmann Jr., a cura-
tor at NewYork's Museum of
Modern Art, entrusted it to
the Western Pennsylvania
Conservancy in 1963.
This was during the time
when many Wright-design-
ed buildings were being
demolished or in serious
states of disrepair. Kauf-
man's gift was highly regard-
ed in the architectural com-
munity as an act of preser-
vation.
Fallingwater is the bnly
one of Wright's houses open
to the public in its original
setting and with the same
furnishings and art work
used by the owner. Works of
art and books collected by
the family from the 1930s to

A series of terraces, left, mir-
rors the terraces of the water-
fall that is beneath and adja-
cent to Fallingwater.


The only work of Frank Lloyd.
Wright that is open to the pub-
lic in its original setting is
Fallingwater located in western
Pennsylvania.


PHOTOS COURTESY OF DALE PORTER
When visiting Fallingwater in western Pennsylvania, allow
enough time on site to stroll the grounds and visit the museum
gift shop.


the 1960s still remain in the
home on view to the public.
In a 1991 poll of mem-
bers of the American Insti-
tute of Architects voted Fal-
lingwater the "best all-time
work of American architec-
ture."
Fallingwater is located on
Pennsylvania Route 381
between the villages of Mill
Run and Ohiopyle. Consider
planning your visit for mid-
March, April or November,


when tours are more leisure-
ly. In the spring, the water-
falls are usually rushing.
You can also make a day
of it at Bear Run. There are
20 miles of hiking trail at
nearby Bear Run Nature
Center.

.Downhill for the first time at a Wisconsin resort


BY PHIL MARTY
GUEST WRITER


Three things you could
do without when you're 61
and about to try downhill
skiing for the first time:
Walking across the ski
resort parking lot, in normal
boots, you slip on ice and
almost fall.
Standing at the bottom
of an intermediate run, you
watch the Ski Patrol bring
an injured high-school girl
off the slope on a litter.
You ask your ski instruc-
tor why she doesn't use
poles, and she says, "Be-
cause I've fallen and broken
my thumbs so many times,
I can't hold poles."
Hmmmmm. Maybe this
wasn't such a hot idea.
'But wait ... I'm sitting
here writing this story,
which means I didn't die.
I'm typing with both hands,
which means I didn't break
an arm or tear a rotator cuff.
I still walk fine.
And, I was just thinking
what a blast it was to soar
down that intermediate, not
beginner, run the same
run the high school girl was
injured on just before I
headed home after my sec-
ond day at Devil's Head
Resort.
Look at me. I'm a skier.
My secret? The same as
most things in life: practice,
practice, practice.
A colleague who skis


black-diamond trails in the
U.S. and abroad says he
thinks people who learn to
ski in the Midwest are better
technical skiers than those
who earned their chops on
the big mountains out West.
That's because a lot of
Midwest resorts, like Devil's
Head, may have only 10 or
15 runs total for beginner,
intermediate and expert
skiers. A Colorado or Utah
resort may have double or
triple that many just for
beginners.
So, yeah, it can get boring
doing the same run over
and over at a Midwest resort
with a limited number of
runs, but the repetition is a
great, free teacher.
I saw that my first day at
Devil's Head, the last week-
end in January. Early winter
was mild, but 6 to 8 inches
of Mother Nature snow cov-
ered the ground, and the
runs had snow-making
equipment to help out if
needed.
At the gathering point for
the first group lessons of the
day, about 20 wannabe
skiers and snowboarders,
ranging from teens to a
codger or two like me, stood
around awkwardly, not
quite sure what to do with
their rented equipment.
Instructors were plenti-
ful, so groups were small.
Over the next hour and a
half, Kasey of the broken
thumbs, who was in my age


category, took us from a
quartet who didn't even
know how to put on our skis
to a foursome who could
make it down a minor hill,
doing a couple of (not very
pretty) turns in the process
and stopping at the bottom
without falling or running
over anyone.
We started with some
basic lessons on the flat area
at the bottom of the hill,
learning how to turn ar-
ound without getting our
skis crossed and how to step
with one ski to initiate a
turn. Eventually, we fol-
lowed Kasey up the tow
rope, getting off halfway up
to get down to the nitty grit-
ty. I was the first to fall going
down the hill, slamming
butt-first onto what I found
was very hard, packed and
icy snow.
After our 1 1/2-hour les-
son, I spent another hour
and a half riding the tow
rope halfway up the hill and
skiing back down. After
some success there, I got a
little cocky and went all the
way to the top, though this
was still the "bunny" hill. I
crashed and burned my first
three times from the top,
but the repetition and try-
ing to figure out what cau-
sed the crashes paid off -
the fourth time was the
charm, and, boy, did I feel
like I'd just won the gold
medal in the Olympics giant
slalom.


The next morning, I took
two more runs down the
bunny hill, just to convince
myself I still remembered
Saturday's lessons.
Then, with a little trepi-
dation, I headed to the
chairlift that went to the top
of the main beginner's run.
At the top, I made a clum-
sy exit off the lift and slid out
of control past a few people
and nearly buried myself in
some bushes. Very impres-
sive.
But it was go time.
About two minutes from
the top I was at the bottom
without any falls and
rushing to get back on the
lift. This was great!
I did the run 10 times that
morning and never fell.
Of course, I couldn't leave
without taking a crack at an
intermediate run.
The steeper slope was
) exhilarating and a little terri-
fying at the same time, two
emotions that often go
hand-in-hand.

I'd like to say I completed
the day crash free, but about
two-thirds of the way down
I came up on a slower skier,
momentarily panicked and
went down. But no harm.
As I clomp-domp-clomp-
ed back to my room with my
skis over my shoulder, some
may have wondered who
was the old guy with the big,
goofy grin plastered across
his face. He was a skier.

Cindy brought the candy

SUN PHOTOS BY CINDY GNEGY
Twins Collin and William along with their
brother Aidan Gailmard got a glimpse of
the fire truck that brought Santa.


Santa stands with Nokomis Volunteer firefighters, from left, Patrick Junius, Kyle Kosianowski, Quinn
Winsheimer and Jamie Trumble with visitors Stefania and Francesca Dettorre.



Trotting through events


bles were as Santa ar-rived
by fire truck. Patrick Junius,
volunteer firefighter, took
the reins, uh, wheel to bring
Santa to the excited children
waiting outside Ophelia's.
While everyone waited, the
choir from Our Savior
Lutheran Church in Noko-
mis sang Christmas carols.
"They are very generous
people," Mary Ann Gillis
said, referring to Nancy and
Jim Champlin, owners of
Ophelia's. Gillis and her
husband Ron have been co-
ordinating the event plus
other Santa events in the
area for many years.
"This is so sweet, and we
are so happy to be here with
the (kids') grandparents,"
said Gina Gailmard. The
Gailmards were visiting her


parents, Neal and Susan,
from Oakland, Calif. '"And
how clever, you can't have
snow, so they did bubbles."
Pine View orchestras
Pine View School pre-
sented its Winter Concert
for family and friends of the
Pine View orchestras.
"There's a lot of talent
here," Christopher Mink,
music director said. There
were 240 students partici-
pating in the musical pre-
sentation. Beginning Orch-
estra was accompanied at
the piano by Minks' col-
lege music instructor David
Cobb. Mink said Cobb had
the best musical influence
on him.
"He's also my best friend
who brought me to Florida."


The progression of expe-
rience and talent led to the
Chamber Orchestra perfor-
ming selections from the
"Nutcracker Suite." The even-
ing ended with the chamber
choir and orchestra perfor-
ming the "Hallelujah Cho-
rus."

Linda Ervin brought her
sons, Ryan and Dakota, to

6232 CATS



Gizmo, the cat, is a
beautiful 10-year-old
girl whose owner
just died.
The owner's son, who just
happens to be a veteri-
narian, lives out of state
and requested Gizmo be
euthanized.

Fortunately, the local vet-
erinarian's staff thought
differently and called
EARS for help. What
makes this situation
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 per-
manent home for this lit-
tle girl.

Gizmo's situation under-
scores a difference in atti-
tudes. Her owner's cal-
lous son considered her
to be expendable. A
Sarasota County veteri-
narian 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?

Six Steps to Success


l e Tired of trying to make your way around
that old blender, bassinet, those bikes and boxes of
cast-off clothing? Schedule a garage sale to convert
those extra items into cash.


2* Ask your friends if they want to join in. More
merchandise means more shoppers and more money
for everyone.


4. Arrange for plenty of tables and hanging
items so you can display everything prominently.
When it's time, set up your sale so people can move
around easily.


5 .Make a list of your best items, and then call
The Sun Classified to schedule your ad. Your ad rep
can help you create an ad that's sure to get customers
calling!


3 Clean and polish your items. Fold clothes
neatly and arrange them by size and gender. Group a Through The Sun Classified, you'll -send the
small pieces (like jewelry) together into plastic bags news of your sale to thousands of potential buyers.
so they're easy to price and display. So, get out your change box and get ready to sell!
