Tacy won't seek third term

Humane Society ends

contract with county


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Two city council seats are up
for grabs on the Nov. 4 ballot, but
only one is attracting candi-
dates.
Seat 2, held by Rick Tacy, has
drawn more potential candi-
dates than any other in recent
memory.
That's a moot point for Tacy
now that he's announced he
won't seek a third term.
"I am not running for office,"
he said Tuesday. "I've accom-
plished what I wanted to get
done."
Due to term limits, even if
elected Tacy could have served
only one additional year.
He withheld his announce-

ment until now, he said, with
only three days left before the fil-
ing deadline, until after the
council vote on plans for the
beachfront Tramonto Vista Park.
"I didn't want to announce
(my intentions) and become a
lame duck in case it was a close
vote," Tacy said. "I'm very happy
it will be built."
His decision not to run will

also give the city a chance to
align office terms so there are
fewer staggered terms requiring
fewer costly elections.
"I took over (Seat 2 during)
the middle of the term," Tacy
said. "To run now and to win
would just be pushing every-
thing down the road."

The Suncoast Humane So-
ciety has ended its contract with
Sarasota County, effective Sept.
1.
This means that lost and stray
animals found in North Port,
Venice and northern parts of
Englewood, will no longer be
accepted. Instead, these animals
will be transported to Sarasota
County Animal Services on Bee
Ridge Road in Sarasota.
Citizens in these areas finding
lost or straying animals will con-
tinue to phone Sarasota Animal
Services at 861-9500 to have
them picked up.
Phil Snyder, Suncoast's exec-
utive director, said the decision
to end the contract was made
after more than a year of discus-
sion.
"This wasn't something that
we just came up with," he said. "I
respect animal control very
much. In fact I worked animal
control early in my career. But
looking at the contracts, even
though we will lose the income
of those contracts ... right now
it's costing the Humane Society
far more to provide the care for
the animals."
He said the majority of ani-
mals that animal control officers
bring in are bite cases or confis-
cations, many of which have

temperament or health prob-
lems and are ultimately eutha-
nized.
"In Sarasota County I can tell
you, so far, in all of 2007, the Sara-
sota Animal Control brought in
884 stray animals, and brought in
742 so far this year," Snyder said.
Benefits
Snyder said there aren't many
who contract with animal con-
trol any more, and those that do
lose money, including Suncoast
Humane Society.
Ending the contract will pro-
vide several benefits to Sun-
coast, including euthanizing few-
er animals.
"It will give us room to pro-
vide longer term care for some
animals with a little extra effort
can be made well or adopted
into good homes," he said. "It
also will allow us to create more
aggressive spay/neuter and pet
adoption programs, which
brings us more in line with our
mission of reducing the number
of homeless animals and im-
proving the quality of human
and animal life."
The Suncoast Humane So-
ciety accepts and adopts ani-
mals seven days a week.

As Tropical Storm Hanna moves slowly toward Florida, and with two more
named storms in its wake, the need to evacuate the area may be on more
residents' minds.

High waters from Hurricane Gustav left parts of the South Jetty beach eroded.

Planners urged to improve evacuation options


BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN
CORRESPONDENT


Now is the time to prepare for
hurricanes, Edward McCrane Jr.
has been telling Sarasotans.
The county's emergency man-
agement chief suggests that the
most important question to
answer in those preparations is,
if you leave, where would you
go?
"Whether you stay or go dur-
ing a storm partially depends on
which evacuation zone you live
in," he said.
That has Manasota-88, a No-
komis-based environmental or-
ganization, concerned. It ques-
tions a state-mandated trans-
portation master plan that must
be completed by 2009 for this
area by the Tampa Bay Regional
* Transportation Authority.
Glenn Compton of Mana-
sota-88 wants TBARTA to make
e it a priority to develop options in
its plan "that reduce hurricane
evacuation times and have an


overall positive impact on the
environment."
Sarasota County is part of
Florida's Region 6, which in-
cludes Charlotte, Manatee, Hen-
dry, Collier and Lee counties.
Their population is about 1.5
million, according to the South-
west Regional Planning Council.
That will probably double by
2050, the council's Dan Trescott,
project service manager, esti-
mates.
"Those figures are based on
an annual growth of about 3 per-
cent in the number of house-
holds in the region and esti-
mates going back to 1987," he
said. "But 800,000 is a more
important figure. That repre-
sents residents of mobile homes
and recreational vehicles.
They're being built more solidly
these days. They are particularly
vulnerable to storm surges and
hurricane-force winds, particu-
larly so if they're on the coast."
He estimates that evacuation
time in the region is about 65


hours prior to hurricane land-
fall.
"But there are so many vari-
ables," he said. "Evacuees could
find as much trouble where they
are going as where they have
been."
'Woefully inadequate'
Compton fears that the
TBARTA plan is limited in scope
already, even before a series of
public workshops on the plan is
completed. He expressed his
concerns in July at one of the
meetings, at the Venice Com-
munity Center.
"Whichever improvements
TBARTA puts into its plan, they
need to allow for urban sprawl,"
he said. "They cannot negatively
impact the environment. Nor
can they fail to reduce evacua-
tion clearance times.
'A justification for building I-
75 and extending it south of
State Road 681 in Nokomis was

to use it as a hurricane
evacuation route. Funding
improvements for River
Road are also being justi-
fied as a way to facilitate
hurricane evacuation."
"But River Road was
never intended to be a hur-
ricane evacuation route,"


Compton said. "It's located
on a floodplain of the
Myakka River. Upgrading
River Road for safe use as a
hurricane evacuation route
will be prohibitively expen-
sive.
"One of the biggest mis-
takes made in Southwest
Florida was to build entire
communities along the


Gulf in hurricane-prone
areas without improving
transportation needs for
safe hurricane evacua-
tions 40 years ago," Comp-
ton said. "We're still doing
it."
Roads leading from
such areas are "woefully
inadequate to safely move
residents out of harm's

way," he added.
Forecasters at the Uni-
versity of Colorado recent-
ly revised their predictions


of the number of hurri-
canes that will occur in
2008. Based on the num-
ber that have already been


SUN NEWSPAPERS 3A

recorded, they boosted the
number of named storms
to 17 from 15 and hurri-
canes to nine from eight.
In only four other years
- 2005 was the most re-
cent has a storm form-
ed in the tropics as early as
Bertha in July. Hurricane
frequency and intensity
were high in those years.


TACY from Page 1 A
Accomplishments
According to Tacy, his biggest
accomplishments included be-
ing one of the original council
members to suggest passing the
$10 million bond four years ago
that resulted in making funds
available for Tramonto Vista
Park, beach renourishment, the
Venice Municipal Fishing Pier
and reconstruction of the Venice
Community Center; getting the
comprehensive plan revised;
and securing funds for the
planned Myakka River Park.
Tacy will have served eight
years. He was first elected in
2000 to serve two years remain-
ing on Janice McDermott's term
after she stepped down just
prior to the election. Tacy won
unopposed.
"It's been very productive.
Some of my favorite accom-
plishments took place behind
the scenes," he said, like the time
a resident complained to him
about a rusted fire hydrant at
Venice Beach; with his encour-
agement it was replaced in one
day.
On his second day in office,


Tacy recalled, he received a call
from a woman who complained
about a particular street median
that didn't have cutouts for
wheelchair access.
"It was rather dangerous trav-
eling around medians instead of
passing through them," he said.
"We had it done by July. She said
she didn't think it was ever going
to be done. She was thankful.
Those are the ones that have the
most meaning."
What next for Tacy? He's un-
decided.
"For a couple of months I will
probably totally step away -
unless there is an issue I need to
speak on."
Moore unopposed
Vice Mayor John Moore, the
swing vote on many controver-
sial issues since the November
council elections, is thus far run-
ning unopposed for Seat 1.
He was elected in 2002. He
currently serves as ex officio on
the Venice Historical Commis-
sion and represents the city on
the following boards: Manasota
League of Cities, Sarasota Coun-


ty Tourist Development Council
and Tourism and Economic
Development Board. He is a for-
mer chairman of the Municipal
Code Enforcement Board.
Moore holds a bachelor of
science degree in civil engineer-
ing from Virginia Military In-
stitute and a law degree from
Georgetown University in Wash-
ington, D.C. He served in the
U.S. Army. He, and his wife,
Linda, moved to Venice in 2000
from Virginia Beach, Va., where
he served as circuit court judge.
The final four?
Four candidates have an-
nounced campaigns for Seat 2,
including longtime Planning
Commission Chair John Osmul-
ski, Bond/Tax Oversight Commit-
tee Member Gary Budway, re-
cently appointed Planning Com-
mission Member Kit McKeon,
and political newcomer and
Golden Beach resident Emilio
Carlesimo.
Officially Osmulski and Mc-
Keon have submitted their
paperwork. The rest have until
filing deadline on Friday at


noon. The candidates are:
Gary Budway a retired cor-
rections officer and union repre-
sentative, he was the first to
announce his candidacy for Seat
2. He is a recent appointee by the
mayor to the city Bond/Tax
Oversight Committee.
Emilio Carlesimo he con-
siders himself the only moderate
candidate. He is a longtime fire-
fighter and union representative
already endorsed by the Sun-
coast Professional Firefighters
and paramedics Local 2546 and
Florida Professional Firefighters
Association. He was appointed
in 2004 to the city Fire Fighter's
Pension Board and is chairman
of the Sarasota County Fire
Fighters Health Trust Fund. He
sits on the county Emergency
Medical Services Advisory
Board.
Kit McKeon McKeon, a
slow-growth advocate, first ap-
peared on the scene a year ago
during public hearings on pro-
posed development at the mu-
nicipal airport. He supports pre-
serving Venice's small town
charm, keeping the municipal


golf course, and "keeping our
airport safe." He was an Army/
National Guard helicopter pilot
and operations officer for 10
years, with 30 years in the de-
fense aerospace business with
General Electric and other com-
panies. He was recently appoint-
ed the the Venice Planning Com-
mission by Mayor Ed Martin.
John Osmulski a volunteer
in the community for 30 years,
he has chaired the city planning
commission since 1998. Gen-
erally considered a pro-growth
candidate, Osmulski is a general
contractor by trade. At one point
he served on five city and coun-
ty advisory boards chairing all
of them simultaneously. He
chaired the city Parks and Rec-
reation Advisory Board begin-
ning in 1991, helping broker the
deal between the county and
city that resulted in Paw Park. He
served from 1993-97 on the
Code Enforcement Board, and
from 1994 to the end of 1996 on
the county Natural Resources &
Recreation Advisory Board until
the board sunsetted.

OUR VIEW



Are Sarasota County elections jinxed?


T he good news about last Tuesday's
primary election in Sarasota
County was that all the votes
seemed to be recorded properly. And,
just in case, there was a paper backup.
Given Florida's notorious exercise in
the 2000 presidential election, the 2006
congressional election undercount in
Sarasota County and the $3 million
spent on a new voting system, that is
very good news.
The bad news is that another elec-
tion-night glitch held up the vote total
for hours, forced a day-after manual
tally and provided more fuel to conspir-
acy theorists who consider our current
elections systems suspect. It just looked
bad, again.
It is an axiom of political science and
public relations that perception is
everything. So once again, the Super-
visor of Elections Office in Sarasota


County has to scramble to maintain
credibility.
The most recent election night prob-
lem was relatively minor. There is no
evidence that any votes were missing,
which is the important thing. Because
the county's new election electronic
machines have the paper backups, a
recount was possible if there were any
major questions.
In fact, the new system with all the
pieces used together for the first time
Tuesday seemed to be working
exceptionally well early in the evening.
One-half hour after the polls closed,
nearly all the votes were tabulated.
There was only one problem transfer-
ring data from a polling station to the
elections office, and that was handled
easily. The tabulation was moving along
far smoother than in past elections,
Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent said.


Then, just when it appeared the
whole thing would be locked up cleanly
within an hour, the process stopped
cold.
Elections officials were unable to
transfer two sets of absentee-voting
results onto the computer server using a
high-speed scanner.
This sort of thing happens with com-
puter systems on occasion; the connec-
tion simply wouldn't work. Elections
officials and employees of Premier
Election Solutions, which manufactures
the system, were baffled by the transfer-
of-data problem.
Two hours into the process, Dent,
hardly a computer expert herself, was
asked what the problem was. "We don't
know," she said, looking more frustrated
as time went by.
Late in the evening, Dent insisted the
glitch couldn't have been detected


beforehand; the equipment worked
correctly in previous tests and a mock
election. And the next day, Premier fig-
ured out that a software programming
error was to blame.
Dent has since decided to use a dif-
ferent, and presumably more reliable,
scanner system in November, when the
turnout may reach a historic high.
In the end, we're confident the new
voting system tabulated votes properly.
We're also relieved that paper ballot
backup existed in case there was a ma-
jor tabulation problem.
Once again, though, a problem
clouded an election here. With a historic

Stop micro-managing

Council meetings con-
tinue to be marathon
events far exceeding what
any good meeting should
be.
It used to be that coun-
cil would start after lunch
and be done in three or
four hours, certainly in
time for dinner. Now we
start at nine in the morn-
ing and get done late in the
afternoon, even going into
the evening. What has
changed that we would
have doubled the length of
the meetings?
For one thing, the may-
or is living up to his cam-
paign promise to ensure
that people who want to
be heard will be fairly
heard. That is a noble and
a proper goal as the people
need to feel they are being
listened to. However, that
can be too much at times.
Yet that is not really the
big problem. The big prob-
lem is the amount of dis-
cussion on every topic that
comes up.
The previous council
did not do much dis-
cussing and that is primar-
ily why meetings were
short. They often accepted
staff's recommendations
with limited or no debate.
While it certainly seem-
ed right that more ques-
tions needed to be asked, it
also was hoped that we
would not micro-manage
the city. That is what is
happening.
Recently there was a big
discussion on Tramonto
Vista Park that is to be next
to Sharky's. Anything in-
volving the area near
Golden Beach (where sev-
eral council members live)
stirs enormous debate.
The park discussion
was about a lot of things,
especially whether it should
be passive or active, but
also got into what kind of
surface to have on the
parking lot. Can we not ask
staff to look at environ-
mentally sensitive surfaces
and have it make a recom-
mendation rather than
treating council as a com-
mittee? Council is getting
into too much minutia.
Meetings must be short-
er for more efficient and
effective government.

I would not use Kathy
Dent, supervisor of elec-
tions, for picking winning


sports teams or let her buy
your lottery card.
Kathy predicted a 45-50
percent voter turnout for
the primary. It ended up at
19 percent. Charlotte
County was in the high
30s, although that was
likely because of the 1-cent
sales surtax that was on
the ballot.
We are coming to learn
that it just wouldn't be an
election in Sarasota
County without a comput-
er glitch. Hope we don't
have to buy another sys-
tem.

I have been proud to be
involved in an organiza-

a huge difference in this

of hard-working people
who have helped trans-

community, helped edu-
cation, made business eas-
ier, promoted beautifica-
tion and even helped
develop young profession-
als.
It is sad that this kind of
characterizations get out. I
am quite sure she felt it
was confidential but, un-
fortunately, it shows an-
other very negative side to
her.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS



You heard it here second


Editor:
I was privileged last year just prior to the city election
to have the benefit of hearing a prediction of what's to
become of our fair city if the "negative three are elected."
Some of the verbiage was so profound that I'd like to
share some of it with you.
"My name is Venice. I have a heart, and I'm slowly
dying in the hands of those who would cut off my blood
supply; without it, I will surely die. I have a rundown,
abandoned airport populated mostly by scrub jays. I
have a downtown with an increasing number of vacant
store fronts. It's slowly becoming a ghost town from lack
of sales and new development. Over-development is not
the answer, it would choke me; but new development
with proper guidelines is critical because without new
blood, I cannot survive."
If our council doesn't soon start paying attention to
the city's and surrounding area's needs instead of their
own vested interests, the prediction is correct: "The wake
has begun."

Just some comments
on odds and ends:
(1) McCain and Obama

policy, both are basically
on opposite ends of the
same slider. We'll be doing

cate.
(2) Kudos to Mayor
Martin on dismantling the
Airport Advisory Board.
Maybe now we can get to
realistic airport ideas that
will fly.
(3) Maybe it is time the
state of Florida gets
around to realistic tax poli-
cies. All of this cutting rev-
enue and then making up
for it later reminds me of
making out credit cards.

ways good to see neigh-
borhood revitalization go-

What is the 'tourist tax'?


BY KERRY KIRSCHNER
GUEST COLUMNIST

As one of the original
proponents of the tourist
tax in the 1980s, it be-
comes very frustrating to
me when people debate its
use for the building of a
new baseball stadium,
arguing that the money is
being misappropriated by
locally elected officials and
should be used for more
pressing needs in the com-
munity. Even candidates
for county commission do
not know where the mon-
ey can be spent.
It is difficult to dispel
the belief that anything
given the name "tax" is
money that can be used
for any purpose under the
sun, but in truth the histo-
ry of this "tax" is as impor-
tant to understand as is the
purpose as to how the
funds might be used.
All state and local taxa-
tion in the state of Florida
must be authorized by our
state Legislature, which in
turn sets the rules for how
it is collected and how it
can be used.
For the greatest part of
our state history we have
had two major industries:
citrus and tourism. After
World War II, Florida citrus
growers recognized their
economic importance to
the state, but were faced
with a marketing chal-
lenge from California
growers who were adver-
tising heavily to promote
their products.
In order to compete
growers, processors, and
packers petitioned the
governor and the state
Legislature to impose a tax
on every box of fruit
picked in the state of Flor-
ida so they could collec-
tively compete in advertis-
ing their products.
This advertising was
financed not through gen-

The elephant
in the room
Editor:
Race will play a major
role in the election, as will
how many people still
think Obama is a Muslim.
According to one poll, 30
percent of those polled
think Obama is a Muslim
- 30 percent! Is anyone in
America listening? Obama
is a Christian.
Race, however, is the
hardest thing of all to mea-
sure because most people
will lie to a pollster if asked
if race has any bearing on
how they will vote. Amer-
ica, the land of the bigots
and the home of the racists
and hypocrites.
People are looking for
any excuse not to vote for
Obama. They aren't com-
fortable saying it is be-
cause Obama is black, but
they have no problem say-
ing they won't vote for
Obama because his mid-
dle name is Hussein or
they heard he was a Mus-
lim.
Racism continues to be
the "elephant in the room"
in this election and the
media have been derelict
in their duty to talk about
it. Instead, the media and
pundits on all the cable
stations dance around the
subject of race and come
up with all kinds of flimsy
excuses why Obama and
Biden are not further
ahead in the polls.
I just hope there is at
least one reporter or
anchor at one of the cable
stations and one newspa-
per who will have the
courage to say they think
race is what is holding
Obama and Biden back in
all the polls.


Shame on all of you. You
shame America in the eyes
of the world with your
hypocrisy.

eral tax revenues, but
instead by a tax paid by cit-
rus growers on all fruit that
moves through commer-
cial channels. This money
was used to fund not only
the administrative costs of
running the Florida De-
partment of Citrus, but to
also pay for advertising
and promotion. To this day
80 percent of its budget of
$58 million is spent on
advertising and promo-
tional activities for Florida
citrus.
Many naysayers would
point out that Floridians
would be better off taking
that money and spending
it someplace else, while
ignoring the fact that the
growing, packing, process-
ing and selling of citrus
generates a $9 billion per
year impact on Florida's
economy, employs 90,000
Floridians and generates
close to $1 billion in tax
revenues.
Following the lead of
the citrus growers, as tour-
ism lodging matured as an
industry, hoteliers found
many communities out-
side of Florida promoting
and advertising destina-
tions by imposing a tax on
short-term hotel stays. Just
as citrus saw itself as a crit-
ical industry to the econo-
my of Florida, tourism saw
that in fact its collective
revenues made it the No. 1
industry in Florida.
So in order to maintain
and sustain a tourism-
dependent economy, in
1967 the Legislature au-
thorized tourist taxes as a
means to generate rev-
enue for tourism promo-
tion to bring in more
overnight guests in order
to keep hotel rooms full.
Like the citrus "tax," the
"bed tax" has been
amended more than 90
times, mostly to redefine

the authorized use of the
revenue.
Again, state statutes
authorize the use, and
local officials, together
with their appointed Tour-
ist Development Council,
decide among those au-
thorized uses how they
should spend the money.
As the law now stands, a
maximum of 4 percent tax
on transient rentals and a
2-percent tax on food and
beverage is allowed. (Sara-
sota has not authorized
the tax on food and bever-
age). The revenue collect-
ed may be used for "Tour-
ism promotion activities,
capital construction and
maintenance of conven-
tion and cultural facilities,
and for ad valorem tax
relief for property tax dol-
lars used for these purpos-
es."
You ask why our elected
officials would allow pri-
vate industry to control
the use of "tax" dollars for
their benefit.
Stop to consider this. In
2007 Florida had 84.5 mil-
lion visitors with an eco-
nomic impact of $57 bil-
lion on Florida's economy,
making us the top travel
destination in the world
(www. stateofflorida.com).
Research shows that 77.3
million Americans visited
Florida last year, while
total sales tax revenues
from tourism totaled $3.9
billion, not to mention
that 991,300 of our friends
and neighbors were direct-
ly employed because of the
tourism industry (wwwvis
itflorida.com).
Establishing the fact
that this "tax" in truth is a
collective effort by Flor-
ida's No. 1 industry to pro-
mote its efforts now leads
us to the second criticism
of building the new stadi-
um for the Red Sox, and
that is that "Sarasota has
plenty of tourists here in


the spring, and we don't
need any more." In de-
fense of those in the com-
munity promoting this
effort, Visit Florida re-
search points out clearly
why we should do this.
The perception is that
the "tourist season" is in
fact when the majority of
people visit Florida.
Wrong. The periods from
January to March and April
to June each only account
for a little more than 27
percent of our total annual
visitors.
Second, the three top
origin markets for those
traveling by air to visit
Florida are New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia.
It would stand to reason
why Boston is so impor-
tant to Sarasota's tourist-
based industry, not just for
spring training baseball,
but year-round.
In the case of both the
citrus and tourism indus-
try you could make the
case that "imposing" a
"tax" on themselves was
not the best business
model for promoting their
products.
Nor did it endear either
of them to the majority of
the taxpaying public. At
best it has caused contro-
versy over the years as to
the "use of our tax dollars."
Our way of living to-
gether is made up of many
threads, many of which we
do not agree with or un-
derstand. Regardless of
where you might fall on
this issue, hopefully this
has strengthened your un-
derstanding of what the
tourist "tax" is, how it can
be used and how it came
about.
Agree with it or not, our
local officials are obeying
the letter of the law.

dent of the Argus

Satisfied? During the last election we elected a city
council and a mayor and a Democratic majority in
Congress and in the Senate. As the new election
approaches, it's interesting to recall that we voted on the
basis of change. Are you satisfied with the results? Think

Some gift. On Monday,
Aug. 18, county workers
were informed the follow-
ing day was a day off
because of the threat of
Tropical Storm Fay. In its
magnanimous way, coun-
ty management put an
addendum on the day-off
gesture the stay-at-
home day off was to cost
each worker a day of regu-
lar leave time unless they
volunteered to man some
telephones. This, of
course, would require any
potential volunteer to
buck the possible threat-
ening weather elements,
just as if going to work that
day. It is absurd to place
office workers in such pos-
sibly harmful conditions
along with those county
workers that by their job
descriptions are paid and
trained to be on the job
under severe conditions.
Too bad those so affected


have no representation.
Made up. I know we're
not supposed to do politi-
cal things but I had three
people tell me about a
story they heard about
Barack going over to Af-
ghanistan and walking
right past the soldiers and
not shaking hands with
any of them. Snopes.com
said it was a lie. It's just a
made-up story. It sounds
like so many of the stories
about Kerry that had him
lose the election. I don't
care who wins, but it's not
fair to spread lies like that
with so many people down
here repeating them.
How many? So glad to
see the article in the paper
about cell phones. How
many more accidents do
we have to see and how
many more people have to
be injured before we make
cell phones illegal in our
cars?

moved to Flint,
Mich., when he
was 5 years old. After his
brave and distinguished
military service during the
1940s, he became a well-
known and respected
architect and builder in
Flint. He was president of
the Home Builders
Association for several
years in the 1950s. Albert
enlisted in the U.S. Army
in 1940 and was in the

of Alsace, France. It was
during the long march
through France that he
received three Purple
Hearts for his wounds and
a Bronze Star and a Silver

1979 as a part-time pho-
tographer and press repair-
man. By 1980, he was
appointed the Gondolier
Sun's only full-time pho-
tographer. This was a posi-
tion he held until the Sun
Coast Media Group, the
parent corporation of the
papers, purchased the Sun
in the mid-1980s. After a
stint with the Sarasota
Herald-Tribune, Schmidt
rejoined SCMG, working
in Venice and eventually
moving to the Charlotte
daily.
"I wouldn't be doing
what I was doing if not for
him," said Schmidt's son,
Harlan, chief photograph-
er and reporter at local TV
news station SNN. "He
was a big influence on my
life."
Harlan said he grew up
at the Gondolier Sun and at
the Sun with his dad.
"I went out on photo
assignments with him as a
toddler," he recalled. "My
first job was pressman
with the Venice Gondolier
Sun."
Schmidt also has a
grown daughter, Mallory.
He retired from the Sun in
March.
"When Ijoined the paper
20 years ago, Paul was the


first guy to befriend me and
make me feel welcome in
the newsroom," said Chris
Porter, editor of the Sun
daily newspapers. "Over the
years, we spent hours work-
ing side by side, through
life's ups and downs. We did
a lot of arguing, joking, dis-
cussing what it takes to
make a good-looking news-
paper. He had great talent
and enthusiasm and he
taught me a lot. I miss him."
Jonathan Fredin, who
became one of Schmidt's
most talented students,
won many state and
national awards for his
photographs that began
appearing in the Sun in the
late 1990s. When he
arrived at the Sun he was a
good photographer, but
when he left he was a great
photographer, because of
Schmidt's tutelage, he said.
"I wanted to become a
professional photograph-
er, but no one took me
seriously until I went to
work for Paul," Fredin said
Monday. "For five years
every day we went over
images, and for five years
he was my mentor.
"The thing about Paul
was he was such a kind
soul. He was more than a
boss he was very close
to me and my family."
Fredin left the paper in
2005. He is now the chief
photographer for S.A.
Cherokee, a magazine and
public relations firm based
in Cary, N.C.
"Paul was one of the
best teachers I've ever
seen in the news busi-
ness," said Jim Gouvellis,
former Sun executive edi-
tor and now publisher of
the Lake Wales News.
"Because of him, our


newspaper wound up
with some of the best pho-
tographers in the country.
"More important, he
was one of the best friends
I've ever had. I worked
with Paul, I lived with Paul,
and the one thing I
learned about him was
that for Paul, nobody was
an enemy."
Schmidt was not only a
fine teacher, he was a
skilled photographer him-
self who won a number of
state and national press
association awards for his
pictures, according to for-
mer co-workers.
Years ago he took a pic-
ture of a young boy in the
arms of a SWAT rescuer
clad in military fatigues
with a submachine gun
slung over his shoulder
during a hostage crisis. It
won first place for "Spot
News Photograph" in the
Florida Press Association's
annual daily newspaper
contest. It was just one of
many photographic awards
Schmidt received during
his decades as a newspa-
per photographer and
editor.
When asked what he
told prospective photogra-
phers he was interviewing
for a position with the
paper, Schmidt once said,
"I tell them I'm looking for
creativity. I'm looking for
someone who has an eye."
A celebration of life
gathering for Schmidt is
scheduled for 4 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 7, at the
Englewood Beach Pavilion.
The rain date, if hurricanes
force a cancellation, is
Sunday, Sept. 14.

HONOLUANA ISLAND GRILL
Venice Chamber businesses have been recognized for their quality service and
genuine hospitality to area residents over the years. Our Business of the Month
Award winner extended those virtues plus extra kindness to a local group.

"The residents and staff at Bella Vista Independent & Assisted Living of Venice
applaud Honoluana Island Grill for the most wonderful luncheon we enjoyed
recently. We arrived by chance unannounced when prior arrangements unfortu-
nately did not work out. Our residents raved about the extra special excellent
service, exceptional food and personal interest to our individual wants and needs.
It was a terrific dinning experience that we will treasure. We are looking forward
to returning soon, perhaps for dinner this time."

Honoluana Island Grill is active with the Sertoma Club of Venice and has always
been generous with community non-profits organizations with gift certificate
donations. As former owners of a Dale Carnegie Business in New Jersey,
Owners Marilyn & Jay Westrom in still the Carnegie principals of positive sincer-
ity, respect, leadership and friendliness with their employees toward customers.
Honoluana is popular with both on land and fly in customers, catering to individual,
small groups and banquet dining including special occasions.

Incidentally, Honoluana Island Grill was named as a must try Hamburger Hot Spot
in the Southeast U.S. by the Auto Pilot Magazine in this years August/September
issue. Honoluana Island Grill is located at 222 Airport Avenue, Venice.

Green Indians nip Lakewood Ranch


MR. SHEEPSHEAD
COLUMNIST



Hot fishing


at our pier

The fishing has been excellent
at the Venice Municipal Pier.
Aug. 26 was sensational.
Keeper mangrove snapper,
plenty of Spanish mackerel,
ladyfish, snook, redfish and even
a few Key West grunts. To top it
off, one fisherman caught six big
blackfin shark.
The shark were eating the
mackerel, which were eating the
greenbacks. It was even better
this past Saturday. Two king
mackerel were caught at the end
of the pier in addition to plenty
of Spanish mackerel.
This great fishing happens
every time a hurricane or tropi-
cal storm is in the gulf. I have
some other great news. It seems
like the weed problem that we've
had all summer is finally wind-
ing down.
Getting back to the pier. A
fisherman threw his net for
greenbacks the other day. The
net landed very close to the pil-
ings. Are you ready for this?
There were about seven larger
fish than greenbacks in the net.
They were my namesakes,
sheepshead. Needless to say, he
released these future 7- to 9-
pounders.
Don't forget to go fishing, par-
ticularly when a storm is out in
the Gulf.
Well, fellow Sheepsheadites,
the time has come to say good-
bye until next week.

Mr Sheepshead is Dave Hack.
His column appears on
Wednesday. Contact him at

You can hardly blame the
Venice High School offense for
not possessing the ball very long
against Cardinal Mooney High
School Friday night.
The Indians had 5 touch-
downs drives and none of them
lasted more than two minutes in
their 44-21 win. Where Venice
struggled was on defense.
Missed tackles plagued the
Indians against a Cardinal
Mooney team that most didn't
expect would move the ball as
well as they did at Powell-Davis
Stadium. The Cougars also got
exceptional play from senior
quarterback Robby Lyons,
which didn't help matters.
"We haven't (possessed the
ball well) the last two games,"
Peacock said. "The spring game
and this past game, our first
team offense has not had over 30
snaps."
So the Indians have put a
great deal of emphasis on work-
ing with the defense in practice
this week. Practice ran about
an hour longer than normal
Tuesday afternoon as coaches
hounded the starting defense,
particularly the line.
"They were getting too far
upfield and they weren't really
doing their jobs and their
responsibilities in trying to make
things happen," Peacock said of
his defensive line, which gave up
145 rushing yards to Cardinal
Mooney tailback Stephen lerulli.
"Hopefully we've got this fixed
out here in this practice. You'll
see a different defensive line,
hopefully."
As far as pass defense, Peacock
wasn't as concerned even
though the secondary allowed
Lyons to complete his first 10
throws.
"That quarterback from
Cardinal Mooney had one of the
most impressive nights I've seen
here in the last 8-9 years," he

said. "He had people in his face
and we had coverage, he just
stepped up and did a great job.
We didn't get beat deep."
Venice's next opponent,
Riverview High School, doesn't
throw the ball very much so the
focus in practice has been on
stopping the run.
No turnover worries
Even thoughVenice had three
fumbles Friday night, Peacock
isn't concerned that turnovers
will be a problem this year as
they were in key losses to
Sarasota, Golden Gate and Cape
Coral high schools. Senior wide-
out Robert Fordham lost the
handle on a screen play, and
junior quarterback Trey Burton
fumbled a snap and dropped the
ball while rolling to his right.
"We've been pretty lucky as far
as the turnover thing. We didn't
have any running backs fumble
the ball," he said. 'As far as that
goes, I've been pretty happy."
Peacock added that Fordham
was playing with a minor hand
injury suffered earlier in the
game, and that fumbles like that

are just bound to happen.
Turn on the jets
There has been a lot of hype
surrounding Burton this presea-
son. He didn't have a huge game
against the Cougars, but that's
only because nobody asked him
to.
The Florida-bound quarter-
back was a respectable 8-12 for
81 yards and an interception,
but the passing game has yet to
be opened up. The Indians had
no trouble winning that game
on the ground, but a tough dis-
trict schedule and an upcoming
game with Riverview will require
more out of Burton.
"This is a real deal," Peacock
said. "We're playing a real deal
team and you're going to see
everything we've got. We're not
going to hold any bullets back in
the chamber."
Venice takes on Riverview
Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Powell-

One of the most inexperi-
enced teams in head volleyball
coach Brian Wheatley's tenure at
Venice High School finally has a
regular season varsity game
under its belt.
The Indians (1-0, 1-0 in 5A-12)
swept Lakewood Ranch High
School 25-11, 25-20, 25-10 on the
road Tuesday night. Although
Venice is young the Indians
have no seniors on the varsity
roster junior setter Taylor
Capasso believes things are flow-
ing better for her than in years
past.
"I've been playing with these
girls a long time. I didn't play
with the girls that I played with
before when I was a freshman,
but I've been playing with (these
underclassmen) since I was in
seventh grade, so it flows a lot
more," she said.
Capasso and fellow juniors
Jillian Allen and Dorothy Rahal
bring the varsity experience
while the underclassmen have
built-in chemistry from playing
with their varsity setter back in
middle school. Already Venice's
timing on difficult short sets is
beginning improve from what
they showed in the preseason.
"I think they're getting a lot
more comfortable with it,"
Capasso said.


Venice played Lakewood Ranch in an away game Tuesday night.


Sophomores Autumn Duyn
and Peyton Herschberger
impressed coaches in their first
real varsity match. Duyn regis-
tered three kills in game one


alone, while Herschberger
totaled six digs and three kills
in games two and three.
Rahal led the team in kills
with eight, followed by junior


Whitney Steranko with seven.
Junior Emily Daniels led Venice
with nine digs. Rahal also had

Cox, Revels

poised for

senior season

BY TRIPP MILLER
SPORTS EDITOR

Venice High School swim-
ming season begins today with
two seniors and a freshman
looking to make waves at the
state level in 2008.
Senior Mark Cox headlines for
the Indians. As a sophomore,
Cox captured the Class 3A state
title in the 100-yard butterfly and
took sixth in the 200-yard
freestyle at the state meet. As a
junior, he improved his times
but finished third in both events.
Senior Tyler Revels is also get-
ting set for his senior tour. Revels
took eighth in the 100-yard
breaststroke as a sophomore
and improved to third as a
junior.
Both seniors, who are being
targeted by NCAA Division I
schools from the Big Ten, SEC
and ACC, are going through the
recruiting process but remain
focused on their final season in
high school.
"They hit the weights a lot
harder this summer and they
definitely added a little more dis-
tance base and a little more vari-
ety in their training regimen,"
said Venice head coach John
Bruenning. "Predominantly, the
people who have a great sum-
mer coming into the fall have a
great fall."
As members of the Sarasota
Sharks, a nationally renowned
club program, Cox and Revels,
along with incoming freshman
Derek Pridemore, were able to
train with more than 10 Division
I swimmers that once swam for
the Sharks.
An eighth-grader a year ago,
Pridemore already has the times
capable of scoring points for the
Indians at the state meet in the
100-yard backstroke, 200-yard
freestyle and the 500-yard
freestyle. With the possibility of
three state-bound swimmers,
Bruenning hopes he can get one
more to form a relay team for the
state meet.
He has plenty of new talent to
choose from. Eight swimmers
came out for the boys team this
season that he wasn't expecting.
He attributes the sudden spike
in interest to Michael Phelps'
record eight gold medals in
Beijing this summer.
"We've had a lot more walk-
ons than I expected," he said,

Former Venice High School mid-
dle hitter Casie Richards is making
an immediate impact as a true fresh-
man on the Armstrong Atlantic State
University volleyball team in
Savannah, Ga.
Richards led the Pirates with 17
kills in the first match of the Anderson
(S.C.) Invitational over the weekend.
Junior Michele Remlinger added 12
kills in the Pirates' 25-18, 20-25, 25-26,
25-10 win over Anderson University.
Armstrong went on to defeat


Benedict College 25-11, 25-9, 25-14
to close out the invitational with an
undefeated record.
The Pirates (4-0) are off to their best
start since 2004, when Armstrong
began the year 10-0 en route to a 29-8
record and an NCAA Championship
appearance.
Armstrong competes in the Peach
Belt Conference in NCAA Division II.
Richards played four years at
Venice. During her class' tenure with
the Indians, Venice won the 2005


Class 5A state championship, played
for another state title in 2004 and
laid claim to four consecutive
District 5A-12 titles.

five aces on the night.
Those numbers are in
stark contrast to Venice's
stat line against Berkeley
Preparatory School a week
ago in the Preseason
Classic.
Wheatley criticized the
Indians for being very
one-dimensional against
the Buccaneers, and they
responded by spreading
the ball around against
Lakewood Ranch.
"Tonight we were in
much better position and
that's how it goes,"
Wheatley said.
The inconsistencies
were still there, however.
Venice coasted in games
one and three, but strug-
gled in game two.

Indians. Venice held on to
win 25-20.


Don't chalk it up to the
pressure of Venice's first


District 5A-12 matchup,
though.
"I think for all of us, the
jitters got out in the first
week of the preseason,"
Capasso said.
Wheatley added that
the real pressure cooker
exists on the practice
floor.
"The least amount of
pressure is in games," he
said. "We put pressure on
in practice so they don't
feel pressure in games, at
least I don't think so. I tell
them (game day is) my day
off and it's their time to
shine."
Venice returns home
Thursday to take on
another District 5A-12
opponent in Bayshore
High School at 7 p.m. in
the Teepee.

referring to swimmers from outside
the Sarasota Sharks program, where
he also coaches. 'A lot of them are
actually pretty decent swimmers, so
hopefully we can get them ready to
go."'
On the girls side, interest is even
higher.
Of nearly 20 girls on the roster,
Bruenning expects between four
and six swimmers to qualify for the
state meet this season. The names
to watch are Nicole Gutzman,
Danielle Manthey, Melinda Spinella
and Jetta Wright. The lone state
qualifier from last year's girls team,


Tori Kontor, has moved away to
Maryland.
Although the loss of Kontor cer-
tainly hurts, Bruenning is confident
in the depth on the girls team.
"They're a pretty solid girls team,"
he said. "We don't have any studs on
the girls side like we do on the boys
side, but we're pretty deep on the
girls side."
It won't be an easy road to state
for the boys or girls from Venice.
Bruenning believes that District 3A-
6 is the fastest district in the fastest
region (3A-2) in the state. The com-
petition here is tougher than any-


where else, he said.
"They're definitely better pre-
pared for states coming out of our
region," he said. "The better compe-
tition definitely makes them ready.
The ones that make state are defi-
nitely better prepared than some of
the other teams."
They'll be better prepared, that is,
if they make it out of the region.
Venice begins the season today
with a dual meet with Sarasota High
School at the Venice High School
pool at 5:30 p.m.

There were many people fishing on the jetty Monday afternoon despite the
crashing waves.

This Labor Day was forecast to be rainy and windy. It turned out to be a beautiful day enjoyed by families, surfers
and other beachgoers.


IL.


Sunday morning and afternoon Nokomis beach was packed
with surfers.


Surfers reported that Sunday's waves at the North Jetty were
the best the area has seen for a long time.


High waters and strong winds did not deter surfers and spec-
tators from enjoying the 6-foot waves.

Artist tackles painting on water storage tank


BY DANA SANCHEZ
STAFF WRITER


A local artist has been commissioned
to paint a water-themed mural on a mil-
lion gallon water storage tank that hardly
anyone will see.
At least not for a while.
Coleen Henry's massive renderings
are recognizable on the Venice Print
Center near Venetian Waterway Park and
in the Jacaranda Library children's
department In Venice.
Now she's turning her talent to her
tallest project yet, a reclaimed water stor-
age tank measuring 30-feet tall and 290
feet in diameter.
"They want me to put a pretty face on
it," she said shortly after beginning work
on the mural.


In addition to acrylic paints and
brushes, it's a job that requires a wide-
brimmed hat, scaffolding and a bucket
for lifting her high enough to reach places
only birds like to go.
Henry, 56, began painting the mural in
mid-June and hoped it would be com-
pleted within three months. The scene
depicts the water cycle and is intended to
raise awareness of responsible water use.
Her colorful mural will include pond
life such as turtles, frogs and lilies, and
will splash dramatic thunderstorms and
pelting rain across a canvas measuring
2,200 square feet.
She will earn $18,500 from the
Englewood Water District for the job.
Completed two months ago by the
District at a cost of $700,000, the new
storage tank is located on hard-to-find


Talman Road near L.A. Ainger Middle
School. The site is surrounded by quiet
neighborhoods, some with empty lots
dotted by houses here and there.
Other than water district employees,
the road appeared little-used when
Henry set out to work.
That will change once Winchester
Road is extended from State Road 776 to
County Road 775 near Bear Creek,
according to Charlotte County Public
Works.
A four-lane highway will replace
Talman Road, completing a proposed
hurricane evacuation route from County
Road 775 to River Road. Construction is
scheduled to begin in January, and be
completed by May, 2011.
"When I first saw it, I thought: Why
would they want a mural here?" Henry
said. "Then I learned this is going to be a
very busy road eventually."
Richard Rollo, administrator for the
Englewood Water District, said the mural
was planned in advance of construction
because art and construction dust don't
mix well.
"We wanted to be finished before con-
struction began," Rollo said. "We didn't
want the paint to get all the dust and
dirt."
Henry sat high on a scaffold under an
umbrella Wednesday, painting details on
a turtle's eye.
She's trying, she said, to let go when it
comes to the details.
"The challenge, with such an enor-
mous canvas, is to pull back on the
details because they'll never be seen,"
she said. "I love the details."


In addition to enormous murals,
Henry does fine art. Her work is sold at
The Lemon Tree in Englewood. But
mural work is different, she said.
"You have to be more loose and you
have to move more quickly," she said.
A former North Port resident, Henry
lives in Venice with her husband, Jim. She
has been in the area since she was 18,
except for three years when she traveled
the country with her husband flying
commercial hot air balloons.
Starting a mural of this scale is intimi-
dating, much like an actress with stage
fright, Henry admits. But once she starts
painting and sees something up there
she likes, "I'm on a roll," she said.
The amount of exposure that a mural
artist gets can also be intimidating.
Artist Catherine Beausoleil, one of the
founders of North Port Art Guild, is famil-
iar with Henry's work and has watched
her develop as a mural artist.
"It's like hanging one of your organs on
a wall when everyone's watching you,"
said Beausoleil. "Where your subjects are
often bigger than your arm span, it
becomes a technical issue but she's man-
aged to pull it off beautifully."
As the mural unfolds, Henry will face
other challenges including the weather.
The bucket brings on "lightning rod
fears," she said.
Henry is vice president of Sarasota
CountyArts and Culture Alliance, a group
that promotes art in the area.

Coleen Henry sits atop scaffolding to paint on a much larger canvas, a reclaimed water
storage tank. She hopes to finish this work in three months.

luau. Bette entertained the group with her songs and dance. 100 years old at the luau at the Senior Friendship Centers.


Pearly shells and tiny bubbles fill the Senior Friendship Centers


"When you're smiling,
the whole world smiles
with you," sang Irene
Bette to welcome about


100 men and women to
the annual luau at the
Senior Friendship Centers.
She and Ray Goins led
the group in a sing-a-long.
"Blue Hawaii" and "I've
Got A Lovely Bunch of
Coconuts" put everyone in
the singing and dancing
mood.
The duo encouraged
the audience to sing,
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your
answer, do," from the pop-
ular song "Bicycle Built for
Two," for Daisy Rhude,
executive director of the
Senior Friendship Centers,
celebrating her birthday at
the event. Mary Parisi


couldn't resist the music
and demonstrated Hawai-
ian moves of her own.
Betty Jean Keoki-
Brooks teaches hula danc-
ing at the Senior Friend-
ship Centers on Fridays at

dents said, "I love you,"
with their lovely hula
hands. Teacher Sharon
Marshall showed off the
Polynesian hula.
Aloha to all the kanes
and wahines who joined
in the fun.
Happy
Grandparent's Day
This weekend the na-


tion celebrates Grand-
parent's Day.
Hula dancers, singers
and musicians at the
Senior Friendship Centers
show grandparents in
Venice don't just bake
cookies. Here they also
volunteer in schools, men-
tor, serve on boards and
make up a pool of thou-
sands who enrich our
lives.
At a health care facility,
theater or concert, most
volunteers in this town are
grandparents and deserve
a tip of the hat. Teaching
grandchildren the joy of
service and fun happens


to be part of the job. Bravo.
Just a reminder
Tickets are $25 for this
Saturday's appreciation
concert for Eric and Carl
Watters at the Venice
Theatre.
The star-studded show
begins at 7 p.m. Call 488-

The special person of
this week is Daisy Rhude,


executive director of the
Senior Friendship Centers.
This fun-loving woman
brings a warmth and ener-
gy to the center that makes
everyone smile.
Her easygoing attitude
and warm heart make vis-
itors and regulars feel wel-
come.
She recognizes when
someone needs a hug or a
pat on the back and wel-
comes the opportunity to
fulfill that need. Her great
sense of humor adds to
her charm.
Daisy Rhude is one of
the women who make
Venice a great place to live.


Joe Maddingly, left, and Davey Teller know a grass skirt and
flowered shirt make any luau more fun.
