Pre-annexation hearing stalled ,


BY JON BRANTHOOVER
STAFF WRITER

The Venice City Council on
Tuesday heard pleas from repre-
sentatives of the Venetian Golf
and River Club and the adjacent
industrial property about the
conditions and restrictions of
the pre-annexation agreements
the city established with the
owners of mining properties
north of Laurel Road on the east-
ern side of 1-75 in June of 2005.
Council was unable to hear
all of the sworn statements and
presentations planned for
Tuesday's meeting, however and
did not come to any decision
about possible future stipula-
tions for industrial operations.
Another meeting is scheduled


for sometime next month.
Residents of the VGRC, repre-
sented by attorney Dan Lobeck
and VGRC resident Marshall
Happer, complained that the
288-acre parcel of industrial
land located north of VGRC is
offensive to nearby homeown-
ers and is demanding city coun-
cil adopt stipulations to the
agreement.
Complaints
In a letter written by Happer
and addressed to city council, he
states, "it is unfair and unrea-
sonable for the city of Venice to
seek to enter into a concession
with the mining owners to per-
mit them to, in fact, wake up all
of their residential neighbors at
6:00 a.m. every morning with


the operation of heavy equip-
ment ... with dust and fumes
and to permit extended night
time hours of operation for any
project of 'economic signifi-
cance,' which could be con-
strued to mean almost any pro-
ject."
Happer and other residents
say the operations, predomi-
nately those of the Venice
Minerals and Mining company,
sometimes are conducted out-
side of the hours of city-
approved timeframes. Resident
Joe Fanelli said he had called
police on multiple occasions
because Venice Minerals and
Mining were operating some-
times after midnight.

District dealing with soaring diesel prices


Red Sox


BY PAMELA STAIK
STAFF WRITER

During the past few months,
the Sarasota County School
District has been hacking away
at its 2008-09 budget, trying to
cut costs where it could.
But just as the district's staff
members has managed to
shrink spending in various
spots, one department has seen
an unavoidable increase -
transportation.
Just as all drivers are being
faced with the task of putting
more money into their gas tanks,
so too are the districts.
While Sarasota's transporta-
tion department's budget has
risen slightly from last year's
$14.6 million to this year's esti-
mated $14.8 million, Director
Ellery Girard said these numbers
don't include fuel costs.
This is because the district's
transportation department
supplies several other agencies
with fuel, including some
county vehicles, 550 vehicles
from the sheriff's office and
several vehicles belonging to
the fire and EMS agencies in
the county.
However, he did say last year's
total fuel budget came to about
$3.1 million, with an expectation
of costs to rise by at least
$700,000 this year.
"Our budget for fuel has gone
up big time," Girard said. "From
the first day of school last year to
the last day of school last year,
diesel fuel prices came (within) 3
cents from being double."
And because of these drastic

methods.


increases, the district has been
trying to minimize the cost of
fuel.
While Sarasota County has
been active in these measures
for several years, it was also
forced to make some sacrifices.
For example, Girard said the
department eliminated trans-
portation routes for students liv-


ing within the 2-mile radius
where sidewalks have been plac-
ed in the last year, thus meeting
the state guidelines that state
roads are deemed safe if there is
a fairly flat area located 3 feet off
the highway.
The district has also eliminat-
ed all bus stops outside of the
district and has set into motion a


requirement for students in-
volved in school choice to come
to the nearest district stop for
the school instead of picking
them up closer to their homes.
"These measures are saving
us a lot of mileage and a lot of
time," Girard said.

Sarasota County and city offi-
cials will try to get the Red Sox to

A negotiations team with rep-

Red Sox officials to discuss what
role everyone might play in
building a spring training stadi-

Lewis, former sports editor, dies at 54


STAFF REPORT


Former Venice Gondolier Sun
sports editor Claude Lewis died
Friday night en route to a high
school football game in North
Central Florida. He was 54.
According to the Suwannee
County Sheriff's Department, a
motorist saw Lewis pull to the
side of the road, attempting to use
an inhaler. Lewis had a history of
asthma, according to his wife.
By the time paramedics ar-
rived, he was dead on the scene.
After moving to Florida in
1987, Lewis worked as the publi-
cist for the Charlotte County
Speedway in Punta Gorda before
joining the Charlotte Sun Herald
and later the Gondolier Sun,
where he was the sports editor.
He moved to Levy County in
November 2006 and left the
Gondolier Sun the following
spring, joining the Chiefland


Citizen in April 2007 as a sports
writer. He was promoted to the
newspaper's sports editor posi-
tion in March. He also covered
education news, the town of
Bronson and outdoor events.
He was on his way to a
Chiefland Indians football game
in Jasper at the time of his death.
Lewis was born June 14, 1954,
in Trenton, N.J., to Helen Martin
Lewis Saidt and the late John
David Lewis. He was a graduate
of Bordentown Regional High
School and attended Burlington
County College. He got his start
in the newspaper business at the
Trentonian, where he wrote
about sports and music.
Survivors include wife of 21
years, Michelle of Chiefland;
mother Helen Lewis Saidt of
Port Charlotte; brother John (Di-
ann Balbier) Lewis of Littleton,
Colo.; aunt Mary Hope Lewis of
Hemet, Calif.; his beloved dach-


shunds Boris, Natasha, Flyer
and Lincoln; and a host of
friends.
Visitation will be Wednesday,
Sept. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. at
Hiers-Baxley Funeral Services,
Chiefland. Funeral services will
be held Thursday, Sept. 25, at 3
p.m. in the funeral home chapel.
The family asks that friends be
in casual dress "The Claude
Way" if attending. A memori-
al service will be held later in the
Venice area.
The family asks that memori-
al donations be made to Friends

City adopts


$67 million


final budget


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR
The Venice City Council
adopted the 2008-09 city
budget Tuesday. The $67
million budget is a decrease
of $1 million below the
2007-08 budget. Nearly $23
million is general fund dol-
lars generated from local
property tax revenue.
The combined operat-
ing and debt millage rate
adopted is 2.984, about 18
percent below the roll-
back level required by the
Legislature.
Mayor Ed Martin was
poised to seek an increase
in the millage if adequate
funds were not found.
"It's very significant we
are reducing the millage
by what the Legislature
allowed," Martin said.
"I don't know of any
other city that has a lower
rate."
The council could have
imposed a "roll back" rate
between 2.779 and 3.3588
to preserve its future abili-
ty to collect needed tax
revenues to support cur-
rent service levels. That
would have required an
increase in the millage
rate.
Instead, the council
approved $564,865 in
additional spending with-
out increasing the millage
rate after it learned last
month it had $2 million
more available than it had
anticipated.
The additional one-time
funds came from the switch
to a state-run retirement
fund. Half of the funds will
go to vehicles for the Venice
Police Department, and
half to pay for new initia-
tives supported by city
council.
An estimated $254,000
was budgeted for consul-
tants to pay for: the
city's comprehensive plan
update ($50,000); revisions
to land development regu-
lations ($100,000); devel-
oping design-based zon-
ing standards ($100,000);
and "green community"
certification ($4,000).
The Venice Police
Department will receive
an additional $238,440 to


pay for four replacement
patrol vehicles ($114,000),
one unmarked detective
vehicle ($28,500), and tick-
et writer machines for
patrol vehicles ($90,000).
The fire department will
recoup a part time secre-
tary it lost during last year's
budget deliberations, as
will the city clerk's office.
Council members left in
the budget a $50,000 "place
holder" for a garbage
study. City council tasked
the public works depart-
ment with researching the
switch from twice weekly
pickup to weekly pickup,
but with attached strings.
Council required the pub-
lic works department con-
sult it before proceeding
with the expenditure.
City leaders ignored a
recommendation by for-
mer city manager Marty
Black to create a litigation
fund.
"Pending legal costs
associated with on-going
litigation remain of con-
cern because these expens-
es are drawn from operat-
ing reserves," wrote Black
in the preliminary budget
presented in August.
'A financial risk analysis
that includes a full account-
ing of litigation costs and
potential exposure is rec-
ommended to determine
appropriate policy posi-
tions in light of limits on
general fund revenue
and increased operating
expenses," he wrote.
Establishing a "litiga-
tion reserve may be need-
ed to address potential
future impacts."
The city is currently
involved in litigation with
Sharky's on the Pier over
the restaurant's contract
with the city. In addition to
the usual array of claims
involving injuries on city
property and occasional
employee grievances, the
city is also being sued by
Jacksonville businessman
Stephen Milo over short-
term rentals, and by
Sarasota County activist
Anthony Lorenzo over
alleged violations of the
state Sunshine law.

County OKs $1.1 billion budget


BY STEVEN J. SMITH
STAFF WRITER


The Sarasota County Commission
unanimously adopted a $1.1 billion
budget Monday night for Fiscal Year
2009, but not before hearing stinging
criticism from a roomful of local fire-
fighters who objected to proposed
changes in their health care benefits.
For the first time in over 10 years
the county will be resorting to
pulling $16 million from its emer-
gency "rainy day" reserves to fund
the new budget, along with another
$5 million from fire department
reserves to underwrite and staff a
new fire station.

Airport board permanently grounded


Realtors start drive


to help flood victims


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Venice City Council, unhappy
with the direction and mission of its
Airport Advisory Board, took final
action Tuesday to disband it.
It was a repeat of the Aug. 12 split
vote on first reading. Voting to repeal
the ordinance that created the board
were Sue Lang, John Moore, Ernie
Zavodnyik and Mayor Ed Martin.
Voting against were Vicki Noren,
John Simmonds and Rick Tacy.
The board had been under attack
for more than a year for supporting
development at the airport.
Mayor Ed Martin replaced three
of its seven members in February,
but that didn't create a power shift
on the advisory board or bring its
policies more in line with council
members elected in November.
Council discussed disbanding the
board but instead voted to request
resignations from all the board mem-
bers in late July. Three members
refused to resign. That's when Martin
suggested eliminating the board.
The embattled board had
become a lightening rod for discon-
tent after proposals to develop open
airport land were considered and
rejected by city council.
Later, a new airport master plan
and airport layout plan plans that
were put on hold until after the
November city council election in
which three new members were
elected came under scrutiny.
Proposed changes to both plans
would have affected the Lake Venice
Golf Club, galvanizing unrest that
resulted in the November power
shift.

Council warned
Moore asked council to hold off
on its final vote to abolish the board


in late August. He was concerned
that doing so before settling the
Sunshine lawsuit against the city
and several sitting and former coun-
cil members could come back to
haunt the city.
City Attorney Bob Anderson said
he read the complaint and didn't
believe there would be any impact
on the Lorenzo case.
'At this point the plaintiff has not
requested voiding of any actions
taken by city council," he said.
Anderson then urged city council
to either eliminate the board or
replace the members who already
resigned in order for it to function.
"We abolished the previous board
because it was dysfunctional," said
Moore, who supported the motion.
He noted the current board was
created in February 2005, and was in
existence for only three and a half
years.
"I don't think we gave clear direc-
tion of what we actually wanted
them to do," Council Member Vicki
Noren said.
"It's unfortunate this was handled
so badly," said Simmonds, who also
served as ex officio member of the
airport board. "It should have been
done without diminishing the contri-
butions that airport board members
have made to the community. They
didn't start out to be obstructionists.
They provided council with informa-
tion they thought was useful."
"I hope today we can further hold
the negative remarks," he said.
But shortly thereafter Lang took
exception to a remark from Tacy that
she "plotted" via e-mail with the
Venice Neighborhoods Coalition to
eliminate the board shortly after she
was sworn into office implying the
board never had a chance to survive.
"We could get into an argument
between people citing e-mails back


and forth," intervened Martin. "I just
don't see that as productive."
Anderson cut off the discussion
by reminding members their "first
obligation is to the city. When pend-
ing litigation (is discussed) we need
to be very careful about how com-
ments (are made) and how that
might expose the city to litigation."

New consultant
With the airport board gone,
council is working to adopt its air-
port master plan, a requirement of
the Federal Aviation Administration,
which already paid for the work to
be done back in 2006. That cost
$350,000.
The FAA said it wouldn't seek reim-
bursement if the city would simply
give it the airport master plan already
drafted by Hanson Professional
Services. But the city will have to pay
for a new consultant to finish the
work. Council members hope it will
cost far less than the $450,000 esti-
mated to start from scratch.
Two weeks ago council selected
DY Consultants, based in the New
York-New Jersey area with a market-
ing office in St. Petersburg, as its new
airport consultant. One of the stipu-
lations was that DY communicate
with council directly, and not
through another committee, Martin
said.
Interim City Manager Nancy
Woodley has already began discus-
sion with principal Dennis Yap on
the scope of work required and the
cost. Woodley said she hopes to have
an agreement in hand for council to
approve by Oct. 28.
"We hope to have a document
this time that we send to the FAA
that has local support," Woodley
said.

Venice Realtors Judy
Winkleman and Sandra
Adkins Pertz have begun a
fundraising effort to assist
Hurricane Ike victims in
Bridgetown, Texas.
Slightly smaller than
Venice, Bridgetown has
15,000 residents. Winkle-
man said her nephew, Jeff
Holsinger, CEO of Volun-
teers of America, told her
about the devastation and
will be there to help next
week. Holsinger's in-laws
are residents of the town.
"He called me to see if
we here in Venice could
help," Winkelman said by
phone Monday. "More than
50 percent of the town's
homes were destroyed and
90 percent were damaged.
The most frightening part
can be a lesson to all of us."
Winkelman and and
Pertz are seeking dona-
tions of money, clothing,
diapers, power tools, regu-
lar tools, kitchen items,
toiletries, toys, food and
water.

Caring
Bridgetown residents
are likely to be without
water for as long as four
weeks, Winkelman wrote
in an e-mail.
She said the Venice Area
Board of Realtors has come
on board. Through Friday,


Sept. 26, donations can be
brought to its office, 680
Substation Road. Winkel-
man said one of her clients
has offered his home's
garage at 516 Warwick
Drive in the Plantation as
an additional drop-off spot
for donations.
Winkelman said the
goal is to collect as much
as possible by Friday and
then use the weekend to
pack it all for shipment
the beginning of next
week. Kearney Moving
and Storage has volun-
teered men to pack the
truck.
Debbie Walcott of Sel-
Fast and her husband,
Dee, have volunteered
their pickup truck and to
drive to Bridge City. Still
needed is a 6 foot by 9 foot
rental trailer to pull behind
the truck. Money is need-
ed for gas and expenses to
cover the trip.
If you can help, call
Winkelman at 284-0559 or
call Pertz at 587-3464. The
VABR number is 484-8614.
"Each person giving will
be recognized and your
names will be included for
all to know by our fellow
Americans in Texas,"
Winkelman said. "They will
know we care. It will make a
big difference. Any small
amount would help."

Missing speed bumps to reappear


Recycle this newspaper.


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

'An accident waiting to
happen" was the descrip-
tion given to the repaved
access road in the Noko-
mis Village Shopping Cen-
ter.
Three weeks ago the
shopping center parking
lot and access roads were
repaved. Parking lines were
redrawn and signs were
updated and improved.
However, something
was missing in front of
the largest store, Publix
Supermarket. During the
clearance of the site the
speed bumps formerly on
the main thoroughfare
were removed. They were
not rebuilt.
Consequently, vehicles
were traveling much faster
on this access road, posing
a risk to the shopping pub-
lic and Publix associates
delivering customers' gro-
ceries to their vehicles and
collecting carts.


One day last week a
woman had to stop traffic
to help her mother, who
was using a cart as a walk-
ing support, cross the
road.
Publix does not own the
shopping center and has
no control over the park-
ing lot.
"It is out of our con-
trol even though we are
the biggest tenant," said
Shannon Patten, Publix
spokesperson, "but safety
of our customers and
associates is important."
She said Publix real


estate management was
trying to contact the shop-
ping center management
and owners regarding the
situation.
Within six hours of
inquiries initiated by the
Venice Gondolier Sun,
Courtney Loebel, account
executive for Brock Com-
munications, on behalf of
the management compa-
ny and center owners,
responded that the work
had not been completed.
She said contractors were
returning this week to
restore the speed bumps.

Hospital authority proposal off the table


BY ED SCOTT
STAFF WRITER

North Port's quest to form its own
hospital district ended before it
began.
Commissioners dropped the idea
Monday while searching for a work-
shop date. Once they learned of the
difficulties and potential costs of the
city breaking away from the Sarasota
Memorial Hospital District and
forming one of its own, it became a
struggle.
If it had been successful in creat-
ing a district, the city could have
wrestled away millions of dollars in
ad valorem taxes that North Port res-
idents pay the Sarasota district each
year ($3 million or more annually).
Having its own district could
make the city responsible for paying
for the health care of indigent North
Port residents, but it would not nec-
essarily guarantee North Port its
own hospital; and Sarasota Mem-
orial officials would have been
expected to fight North Port's seces-
sion efforts in the Florida Legislature
and the courts.
The purpose of the workshop
would have been for City Attorney
Rob Robinson to assemble a team of
experts to tell commissioners how
much the lobbying and legal effort
would cost to create a hospital district.


Community Health Action Team
member Sam George, a retired hos-
pital administrator, said Tuesday the
city would likely have to pay $1 mil-
lion to break away from Sarasota
Memorial and start its own district.
The workshop itself would have
been expensive as well. During
August Robinson and his staff
logged 16.6 hours working on the
hospital district issue at $175 per
hour, a total of $2,905. That includes
a meeting with CHAT, at the organi-
zation's request; telephone calls with
Sarasota Memorial hospital board's
attorneys; and some basic research
on the current hospital authority
enabling legislation and the forma-
tion of special districts.
'Crazy numbers'
Commissioner Jim Blucher was
the commission's primary hospital
district advocate. Fellow commis-
sioners, who had been somewhat
leery of secession, were more vocal
in their opposition this week.
Commissioner Barbara Gross
wanted to see a hospital corporation
show interest in building a hospital
in North Port before she approves
trying to break away from Sarasota
Memorial.
Commissioner Vanessa Carusone
was concerned that residents could
find themselves simultaneously tax-


ed by two hospital authorities.
"I'm ready to make that decision
today, and the decision is not to go
forward," Carusone said. 'All I see is
that causing some crazy numbers
for the taxpayers ... They are going
to have to supplement a district until
you have a lawsuit to pull that
money away from Sarasota Mem-
orial, and you are not going to win
that fight."
"I don't know that yet," Blucher
said.
"I do," Carusone said. "You have
to prove that they are not providing
service to the city of North Port, and
you can't prove that."
One reason cited by Carusone is
that part of the taxes North Port res-
idents paid to the Sarasota Memorial
district has funded construction of
the freestanding emergency room at
North Port Medical Plaza, off Toledo
Blade Boulevard, which is expected
to open early next year.
The ER "ultimately will form the
building blocks of a new hospital,"
said Gwen MacKenzie, president
and chief executive officer of Sara-
sota Memorial Hospital.
She says the hospital "looks for-
ward to continuing working with
commissioners and CHAT members
to improve North Port's access to
health care."

ment tax by one-half cent
to help fund the stadium
which, according to Dep-
uty County Administrator
David Bullock, is currently
estimated to cost some-
where between $50 mil-
lion and $55 million. Sew-
ard maintained no proper-
ty tax money will be used
for the project.
"These dominoes have
fallen now," Seward told
the commissioners, "and
we're at a point where we
need to step in and have
formal negotiations with
the team."
The negotiation team
will comprise Seward and
Bullock along with:
Pete Schneider, assis-
tant Sarasota city manager
Pam Brangaccio, spe-
cial assistant to the city
manager

county's planning and

department
Paul Jacobs of the
Denver law firm Jacobs,
Chase, Frick Kleinkopf &
Kelley
Dan Barrett of Barrett
Sports Group
Commissioner Nora
Patterson expressed con-


SUN NEWSPAPERS 5A

cerns about the level of
commitment to the deal
from both the Red Sox and
the city of Sarasota.
"Of course, we don't
know anything about
that," she said. "I'm look-
ing for a whole deal put
together and packaged so I
know who's contributing
what. I don't want to vote
$50 million for something
that doesn't look like it's
going to be a working asset
for the community."
Commissioner Joe Bar-
betta, an outspoken pro-
ponent of the deal, did not
mince words.
"It's a positive for the
community," Barbetta said.
"The construction jobs, the
employment from the
team, the (fans) that they
bring in, what the North-
east Corridor will hopeful-
ly bring to the community,
I think we end up win-
ning."
The county commission
is expected Oct. 14 to con-
sider authorizing the adver-
tisement of a public hear-
ing on the project which
would take place Oct. 29 at
the Sarasota County Ad-
ministration Center, 1660
Ringling Blvd., Sarasota.
ssmith@sun-herald.com


STALLED from Page lA
"We could hear the rock
grinders well past mid-
night. I filed multiple com-
plaints with the VPD ... an
hour or two after the call,
the noise would cease."
The law allows Venice
Minerals and Mining to
operate outside of regular
business hours for county
road-related cement and
asphalt production.
Another complaint lev-
ied against Venice Min-
erals and Mining, is the
towering piles of sand and
aggregate the company
holds for future use. Res-
idents say the piles, which
reach up to 60 feet tall, are
unsightly and pose health


threats to VGRC residents.
"Homeowners in the
Venetian are suffering
from air pollution and
some are complaining of
health problems directly
related to the air pollution.
This nuisance needs to be
removed as far away as
possible, the stockpiles
need to be lowered as
much as possible," Hap-
per said.


Rebuttal
Attorney Jeff Russell,
who represents the busi-
ness owners of the indus-
trial park, said stockpiling
was a permitted use in the
original agreement with
the city, and that any
changes made in an effort
to reduce the height of the
piles would have a nega-
tive economic impact for
the businesses.

When it comes to gas price-goug-
ing, we're against it.
That's a shocker. It's safe to as-
sume you are too.
But it's important for consumers to
realize that the free enterprise principal
of caveat emptor "let the buyer be-
ware" also can mean "let the buyer be
aware" of government laws that extend
special protection in certain circum-
stances.
After Hurricane Andrew hit South-
east Florida in 1992, gross displays of
unfettered greed in the marketplace
prompted the Legislature to enact a law
that forbids price-gouging during a
declared state of emergency.
Business owners at other times are
free to charge what they want; if gas sta-
tion X wishes to charge $2 more per gal-
lon than gas station Y and Z down the


road, no one's stopping it. The market
presumably corrects, and station X
drops its price or does no business.
But in times of an emergency, people
may have fewer options and they may
feel forced to make buying decisions in
a panic. It's a special instance and con-
sumers are more vulnerable, so the gov-
ernment steps in to offer special protec-
tions. All but the most ardent free-mar-
keters agree that this is appropriate.
With the recent threat of Hurricane
Ike, Gov. Charlie Crist declared a state of
emergency on Sept. 6, extending 30 days.
The storm did not strike Florida, but it did
disrupt the flow of gas and shut down
refineries in Texas and Louisiana. Flor-
idians, concerned about possible gas
shortages, filled their tanks, ironically
causing a shortage.
Up shot gas prices. And up shot the


number of calls to consumer protection
line at the state attorney general's office.
At last check, the attorney general's
price-gouging hotline had taken more
than 5,500 calls of complaint. Because
some were redundant, the hotline was
reviewing more than 2,000 complaints.
The state law is somewhat vague. It
says it is illegal to sell "essential com-
modities (food, ice, gas) ... for an
amount that grossly exceeds the aver-
age price for that commodity during the
30 days before the declaration of the
state of emergency, unless the seller can
justify the price by showing increases in
its prices or market trends." The rule of
thumb is a "gross disparity" in the previ-
ous price and current price. It's a poten-
tial field day for lawyers.
Even huge leaps in prices don't nec-
essarily mean price gouging has occur-


red. The Tallahassee Democrat noted one
station had raised its price to $5.49 (from
the mid $3 range), but was able to prove to
state investigators that it had paid $1.89
per gallon more wholesale in a shipment.
In a slightly bizarre take on the issue,
the attorney general's Web site recom-
mends that the best way to avoid be-
coming a victim of price-gouging is to
plan ahead and stockpile necessities. (As
we mentioned, panic hoarding caused
the shortage.) Then again, it also recom-
mends having "board games, books and
playing cards" on hand. We're not quite
sure how that fits in with price-gouging
overall, but it's always good advice.
The best advice is this: If you suspect
you're being victimized at the pump,
write down as much information as
possible, get receipts and call the state
hotline at (866) 966-7226.


Roundabout solution


BOB VEDDER
PUBLISHER


The county is in the
final stages of putting
together the design for the
roundabout to be installed
at Jacaranda Boulevard
and East Venice Avenue.
Tomorrow (Thursday)
the county will be making
a presentation from 5 to 7
p.m. at Venice Middle
School. This is the one
chance to get questions
answered.
There have been a lot of
concerns about this be-
coming the confusion
junction but there certain-
ly is a lot of evidence that
says this is a great solution
to traffic flow issues.
A recent Time magazine
article that was sent to me
by Conrad Perkey spoke
to those good points. It
started by saying that
France has 30,000 of these,
about one-third of the
world total. (The fact that
France does something is
not a big reason in my
book to do it, although it
has gone to nuclear energy
for power, which we need
to do a lot more).
The article pointed out
that Virginia on just 10
roundabouts has saved
more than 200,000 gallons
of gasoline a year. Carmel,
Ind., has installed 50 since
2001 and claims to have 78
percent fewer accidents
with injuries. This is care-
fully worded, as round-
abouts do have accidents,
and in fact some articles
sent to me show they have
more accidents but be-
cause the speeds in round-
abouts are slower there are
more fender-benders.
Carmel also claims to
save 24,000 gallons of fuel
a year. I suppose if we only
had roundabouts we
would save billions of gal-
lons or some number like
that.
Roundabouts reduce
time and delays in traffic,
thus less gas use. Kansas
claims to have reduced
delays by 65 percent where
it has these.
This one is to be a two-
lane roundabout; howev-
er, it can be widened to
three lanes, which I see as
necessary as it's very likely
East Venice Avenue will
become wider in the not-
too-distant future.
I think roundabouts are
quite a bit cheaper than
traffic signals and the
computers that go with
them but don't have the
data to support that argu-


ment.
Go find out for yourself.


By's Crack: (Byron,
my dad, traveled with
his wife, Helen, all the
way to Venice via car to
attend the Sun Coast
Media Group board
meeting this last week-
end. At 98, that was
pretty amazing. I had
just returned from a
nine-day golf and busi-
ness trip on which I
played 10 rounds in 10
days. This quip is apro-
pos of that.)
I had a terrible vaca-
tion: 14 straight days
over 100 two on the
thermometer and 12
on the golf course.



It was with great sad-
ness that we learned Sat-
urday of the passing of our
dear friend and former
employee Claude Lewis.
He died on the way to cov-
ering a football game in
Chiefland the night before.
He had an asthma attack.
Claude was a special
person. He was extremely
kind and soft-spoken and
a friend to just about
everyone he ran into. He
was a great sports editor,
balancing a lot of sports at
the same time.
The only time I remem-
ber him being mad was
when I wrote a column
about killing a snake in my
house. It was either I kill
the snake or my wife
would kill me, it seemed.
Anyway he was very upset
about that because he
loved animals. There are a
lot of stories like that of his
kindness to animals.
This world is a lot poor-
er for losing Claude.

If you have not visited
the Habitat ReStore on
Ogden road just down the
street from Community
National Bank, you should
go. It has new arrivals all
the time.
I was in there not long
ago and it had nonstick
cookware, plastic storage
containers, paint supplies,
jewelry, door mats and a
whole lot more, all brand-
new. Of course, it has great
near-new or recondition-
ed TVs, furniture, micro-
waves, kitchenware and so
much more.

Small-town feeling suffers a blow


Editor:
My wife and I visitedVenice three years ago and fell in
love with the welcoming, small-town feeling we encoun-
tered. Last year we sold our house in Delray Beach,
Florida and moved to Venice.
We found Venice to be as welcoming as it had felt
when we visited. We live in a lovely neighborhood and
have great neighbors.
Last week we put up a Vote for Obama sign in our
front yard. It was knocked down by someone. We put the
sign up again only to have it knocked down again. The
next time we put it up, someone took it. No matter how
you look at it, this is vandalism.
Now comes the scary part. In talking to our neighbors
we found that there was a reluctance to display Vote for
Obama signs because they were concerned that people
in the area would overreact. We are now feeling uneasy
about putting the sign back. These are not the small-
town values we expected.
We need to take America back from special interests
but we also need to rescue it from fear. Let's reclaim the
small-town values that made America great.

No shame when it
comes to politics
Editor:
I think Palin has taken
the most selfish, unspeak-
able action as a mother by
putting her sexually uned-
ucated daughter in the
limelight for Palin's own
personal gain. I think the
example she is setting for
parents is disgusting and
despicable.
As a mother of four chil-
dren I always made a con-
scious choice to try and do
what was best for my
child, not what was best
for me or others while let-
ting my child suffer the
consequences.
We as parents are re-
sponsible for the molding
of an individual (our pre-
cious children) and to the
quality of that child's emo-
tional life for their time on


this planet. This teenage
daughter of Palin's is being
used as a pawn in the
game of religious dogma
which should not be in
politics to begin with.
What about the daugh-
ter? How is this public hu-
miliation and instant fame
hurting her? Shame on
Palin. Shame on McCain
and shame on the GOP
Shame is what we are
left with when ignorance
runs rampant in the reality
of everyday life.

Social Security
Editor:
Be aware before you

ma has voted for and will
push through if he gets


elected president putting
all illegals on our Social
Security which is already
going broke, and taxing it.
As a senior citizen on
disability along with my
husband, we can't afford to
have our Social Security
taxed along with raising
taxes. McCain has voted
against it and will contin-

Veep choices
tell a lot
Editor:
Barack Obama is a man
of integrity who has cho-
sen in Joe Biden a running
mate immensely capable
of assuming the presiden-
cy.
John McCain, on the
other hand, has made a
very reckless choice in Sar-
ah Palin.
The economy is in a
meltdown not seen since
the Great Depression and
the world has never been
more dangerous. We need
leadership now more than
ever, and we need a presi-
dent who can inspire us,
not one who personifies
sleaziness in the conduct
of his own campaign.

Drilling isn't
the answer
Editor:
More drilling doesn't
mean lower gas prices.
While the number of new
offshore drilling permits
has tripled since 2001,
we're paying triple what
we were in 2001.


We need to concentrate
on technology that already
exists to relieve our depen-
dence on oil. Developing
green energy technologies
would create new jobs and
secure a healthy, depend-
able economy.
The Florida economy
relies on a tourism indus-
try already in decline.
"Come feel the tar
between your toes" would


not be a good campaign
slogan to bring visitors to
our beaches.
Florida said "no" to an
industrial economy long
ago and has prospered
from it.
Don't rig Florida's econ-
omy; it would be the worst
mistake we could ever
make.

McCain doesn't
vote like a vet
Editor:
As a Vietnam-era veter-
an, I am appalled by John
McCain's constant refer-
ences to his war record, as
heroic as it may be, when
his current record on vet-
eran's affairs is something
quite different.
Here's what McCain has
done for veterans recently:
Did not support new
GI bill legislation because
he thought it was too gen-
erous and would result in
soldiers choosing to go to
school instead of re-enlist-
ing. This bill passed 75-22

three senators who didn't
show up to vote. Only after

free-market capitalism,
from his numerous refer-
ences to people doing
things to make money. Ab-
sent of any other fact or ref-
erence therein, I'm ques-
tioning whether Mr. Levine
is a socialist or a commu-
nist. Free-market capital-
ism is what made this coun-
try great and what it is
today. I think we would all
be better served if he would
publish what his opinions
are and what they propose.
The opinion he does refer-
ence is regarding the refer-
endum bond. He seems to
advocate using the bond
referendum to pay down
debt; however, he doesn't
reference one debt, and
bonds are, in fact, debts, so
he's using debt to pay down
debt? I don't understand the
Venice Taxpayers League's
agenda and think they
should publish a manifesto
with points and issues,


along with their position,
and propose solutions. It
would help some of us get
behind him. He's just point-
ing the ugly stick at people
whose opinion differs from
him, with no foundation or
fact. Tell us in plain, simple
English what you want.
Example. I read in Let'-
em Have It that the new
council members have
embarrassed the city and
they should resign. I'd like
to also say there are some
old council members who
have also admitted that
they've broken the Sun-
shine Law, and one of them
is a retired judge. He knows
better than to break any
type of law. He has put peo-
ple in jail for breaking laws,
so he should be one of the
people that resign to set a
precedent for anyone else
to resign. Who better, after
all the money and the law-
suits, to set an example
than a retired judge who
has admitted he broke the
laws?

4 Venice's depth carries golf team


So long,



Snake

I never met Claude
Lewis.
All I know of the man
(the legend) is what he left
behind at his desk.
I know they called him
Snake. I have no idea why,
but his namesake is taped
to my stapler.
I know he was a kid at
heart. There's a toy boat
sitting on top of the
emergency lights by the
stairs. By all accounts
that could be nobody but
Claude's. I imagine the
sign (please refrain from
throwing objects into the
pool) by our office water
feature speaks directly to
Claude.
I know he liked to do
things the old fashioned
way. I have stacks of
developed photographs
that he used in the news-
paper long after the
advent of digital cameras.
A few of those are worth
noting.
There is one of the
2000 state championship
football team hoisting the
trophy. There is another
of a mid-1990s haircut
atop Brian Wheatley's
head.
I know there are a lot of
people who cared for
Claude. I've found post-
cards addressed to him
from Rome, Vienna,
Arizona, California and
even the Jersey Shore.
Most of the letters are
very thoughtful. "Snake,
How's it hanging ? Do you
still have a job or do you
fish full-time?"
One is in German, I
think. "He Men, wie
geht's?"
Another is completely
indecipherable. "Yo Snake,
The milk snake is coming
up for air! I looked it up.
Don't hate the player, hate
the game. -Peace from
Slick."
I know Claude cared for
every kid he ever covered. I
have a schedule for every
level (yes, even JV and
freshmen) of every sport at
Venice High School -
from 1999. I have a hard
enough time holding on to
schedules for a week, and
Claude kept his for almost
a decade.
I know Claude got to
watch many of you or
your children grow up. I
have the 2002 Venice
Little League all-stars ros-
ters. Chris Atamanchuk,
Josh Boyle, Joey Gaither,
Brent Krauss and Austin
McCaffrey appear on the
9-10-year-old National
League team. Mike Geers,
Tim Garofalo, Tommy
Hanks, Joe Iorio and
David Panfil made the
American League team.
Now those guys are in
high school, staring in
everything from baseball
to football to golf.
The 11-12-year-old teams
feature names like Jackson
Boone, Mike Atamanchuk
and Jason Kaufman -
guys who are in their first
semester of college.
Claude watched kids
in Venice grow up for
more than 10 years, and
his impact on the com-
munity will not soon be
forgotten.

The Venice High School volley-
ball team again asserted them-
selves as the team to beat in
District 5A-12 with a dominating
25-7, 25-12, 25-12 win at Port
Charlotte High School Monday.
Venice (9-3, 5-0 in 5A-12) went
deep into their bench early and
even used an altogether new var-
sity player to put Port Charlotte
away. Freshman Hannah Revels
made her varsity debut, hitting
four of eight kill attempts. Junior
Katie Paschke came off the bench
for three kills in four attempts for
a .750 hitting percentage.
"At one time we had four


from 33-yards out.
In a world where coachspeak
constantly reminds us that "a win
is a win" and "there's no such
thing as a bad win," Peacock
came out and told his team that
anything less than a 28-point win
would be considered a loss in
practice the following week.
After watching Braden River
High School climb back into the
game with two fourth-quarter
scores a week ago, he felt it was
time for Venice to finally put a
team away after his two years as
the head coach.
"Don't get me wrong, I would
have taken a 7-0 win. I just
thought we needed something to
get a little extra fight in them,"
Peacock said. "Now they finally
have (put a team away). Now they
have seen how it's done and hope-
fully they'll continue to do it."
A 39-0 win over a county rival is
definitely a statement heading
into district play, but there won't
be another artificial point spread


sophomores, a freshman and a
junior out on the floor," Venice
head coach Brian Wheatley said.
"Those young kids did a great job.
It's a great opportunity for them to
get varsity experience."
Sophomore Autumn Duyn
also had a big game as a starter.
Duyn served up 14 consecutive
service points in game one to give
Venice a 23-7 advantage. She fin-
ished the match with three aces,
seven assists and four digs.
"We definitely take teams out
of their offense with our serving,"
Wheatley said. 'Autumn Duyn is
just getting better and better
every day."
Duyn spent some time in

Venice High School just took a
26-0 lead on a 76-yard touchdown
pass from Trey Burton to Dri
Archer. The offense looks to the
sideline.
One or two?
The signal comes for a two-
point conversion attempt, but
nobody on the field is surprised.
They had talked about this all
week. At kickoff, as far as Venice
was concerned, the scoreboard
read 28-0 in favor of Sarasota
High School.
"We had a goal for the game
and our goal was to win by 28,"
Venice head coach John Peacock
said. "I didn't know if we would
have another opportunity to score,
the score was 28-26 at that time."
The conversion failed, so
Venice still trailed by two. The
Indians finally took the lead with
less than 10 minutes to play when
Burton connected with Josh Boyle

Venice High School golfer Kyle Phillips hits his approach shot on the par-4
5th at Port Charlotte Golf Club.


The Venice High School boys
golf team won the first two of
three matches scheduled this
week.
The Indians defeated Sarasota
(6-4), Port Charlotte and Booker
(0-9) high schools Monday at the
Golf Club at Capri Isles and
defeated Port Charlotte (4-10) and
Lemon Bay (3-9) high schools
Tuesday at Port Charlotte Country
Club to improve their record to
11-2 on the season.
They're using their depth to
win matches.
Venice has been able to create
separation all season on the
strength of their players in the
third through sixth slot.
On Monday Venice's bottom
three golfers, Tyler Jones (38), Kyle
Collison (38) and Kyle Phillips
(39), each broke 40 to outscore
their closest opponents in those
slots by a combined 17 strokes.
Despite a rough day for No. 1 man
Tim Garofalo (42), Venice still
managed to score 150 and win
with an 11-stroke cushion.
On Tuesday, Venice's two high-
est included scores were only a
combined four strokes higher
than the two lowest. Collison (41)
and Jones (40) weren't too far back
from Garofalo (38) and Spencer
Dunford (38). In contrast, there
was a seven-stroke disparity on
the Port Charlotte team.
So while head coach Marty
Tarala wasn't happy with Dunford
and Garofalo's decision to hit a
driver on the 294-yard 7th (they
wound up in the drink), he can
take solace in the fact that his
other players can make up the dif-
ference.
"That is a stupid move," he
said. "That is a ridiculous thing to
do. Do you know why they make
short holes? To trick guys like
them into going for it."
Top-to-bottom, it's hard to
compete with Venice. Most teams


in District 5A-12 games.Venice (3-
0) opens district play Friday with
Lakewood Ranch High School.
"Hopefully we'll come out and
perform and keep the pressure on
the entire game Friday night,"
Peacock said.
Dominating D-line
The Venice defensive line has
finally come into its own. This unit
didn't quite meet expectations in
games one and two, but the front
looked sharp against Sarasota.
Brandon Wilkinson played like
a monster at defensive end and
Ben Steele was unblockable on
the inside. And the best may still
be yet to come.
James Auxier has another four
weeks in a cast on his right arm,
and Gerald Oriol is still out with a
knee injury from the spring. Oriol
has started running sprints,
though, and may be back in pads
as early as next week. Peacock

attempt by the Indians to utilize
some different weapons and not
go to the outside quite as much.
"We're trying to get as many
weapons as possible on offense,"
Wheatley said. "I bet we only
had a handful of outside sets
tonight."
Port Charlotte senior Samantha
Fox and sophomore Taylor Eiken
led the Pirates (3-4, 2-2 in 5A-12)
with two kills each. Junior libero
Michelle Ingman led the team

in the area have one or two play-
ers that can break 40 on a consis-
tent basis. Dunford averages
37.875 in matches and Garofalo
averages 38. Lemon Bay's top two,
J.J. Veloz and Malcolm Oliver,
each shot 38 Tuesday.
What most teams don't have
are players that break 40 on days
that they didn't even qualify to
compete. On Monday Venice's
Erick Bennett didn't qualify based
on his last three scores. He shot a
39 in practice and replaced Frank
Perilli, who shot a 43 in the
Monday match, the next day.
"On a typical day on this course
(Port Charlotte Golf Club) I would
have expected everybody to be in
the 30s," Tarala said.
Venice finishes the week with a
match with Riverview High
School Thursday at The Venice
Golf & Country Club. Riverview is
responsible for one of the Indians'
two losses.

STAFF REPORT

The Venice Vikings Pop Warner
Football and Cheer Organization
went 4-1 against Englewood
Saturday.
The Pee Wee division Lancers
(3-2) edged the Wildcats 18-7.
Nick DeLillo put Venice on the
board in the first quarter on a 4-
yard run. In the second quarter,
Jay PaoLillo connected with John
Cokley on touchdown passes of 35
and 50 yards to give the Lancers
an 18-0 halftime advantage.
Englewood scored in the third
quarter, but the Venice defense
held to preserve the win. Coaches
said Nick Duff, Reza Young, Dylan
Lynn, Billy Bryant, Trey Hoff, Alex
Lukefahr, Shane Burns and Haven
Bartlett all played well in the win.
In the Tiny Mite division, where
no score is kept, the Venice Danes
showed no quit as Tommy Deans
scored with only four seconds
remaining.
The defense, led by Joe
Bevalaqua and Carson Sullivan,
held Englewood to just one touch-
down. Ethan Krizen, Deans, Caleb
Fissel and Trace Hampton all had
tackles for Venice.
Deans' long run on a quarter-
back keeper late in the fourth set
up his touchdown run.

Ley added it was "inap-
propriate" to conduct col-
lective bargaining with the
union at a budget hearing,
suggesting it was wrong to
get pushed into a discus-
sion in light of the fact that
158 county positions have
already been eliminated to
help bring the numbers in.
"Every $1 million that
we leave (lying) around
someplace is worth 15
employees," Ley said. 'And
had we not pulled those
one, two, three or four mil-
lion dollars here and there,
from various reserves, you
would've been making
one, two, three or four mil-
lion dollar adjustments to
other places in the county

resulted in some other
county employee having
to suffer the consequences
- or having to reduce ser-
vices that citizens rely on."
Commissioner Joe
Barbetta reminded every-
one that voting on the
2009 budget would not
prohibit ongoing negotia-
tions between the county
and the union.
"You don't have to hold
up the budget to allow
things to go forward,"
Barbetta said.
With that, the commis-
sioners adopted the bud-
get. Following the unani-
mous vote, Commissioner
Nora Patterson addressed
the audience.
"This was not an easy


budget year," Patterson
said. "We cut a lot of jobs in
the county. We also made
the decision to take sub-
stantial dollars from
reserves and that's the first
time I can remember that
the county (has done that)."
Patterson added the rea-
son for that action was to
keep services especially
public safety-whole.
"We have enough
reserves if we don't dip
deeper into them," she
said. "We may be able to
(continue) next year and
dip still further. And yet,
the economics look like
things will get worse next
year. You're going to have
to work with us."

The
word
"stenosis"
comes from the Greek
word that means
"choking." Hence, the term
"spinal stenosis"refers to
compression (or choking) of
the spinal cord or spinal roots,
which can produce symptoms
of pain, tingling, weakness, or
numbness that radiates into the
buttocks and legs. Spinal stenosis
is related to degeneration in the
spine and often becomes significant
in the fifth decade of life.
Approximately 75% of cases occur
in the low back (lumbar spine), and
most will affect the sciatic nerve,
which runs down the back of the
leg. If the cause is biomechanical
in nature, chiropractic treatment
may address both the cause and
the consequent pain. A
comprehensive chiropractic
evaluation can help determine
the efficacy of this non-invasive
approach.

Remember, this was not

This is a perfect time to

and saw a diver in dis-

thought was that the

POLICE BEAT
Armed robbery
in Nokomis
Two men were arrested
on charges of armed rob-
bery Saturday after beat-
ing and attempting to rob
a man as he was leaving a
friend's house.
A Sarasota County
Sheriff's Office police re-
port states Steven Troy
Schoolcraft, 19, and Mark
Thomas Stackhouse, 19,
both of Nokomis, mugged
a man as he was walking
toward his vehicle parked
along Frances Street. The
two allegedly forced the
man back into his friend's
home, beat him and tried
to take his money.
When the homeowner
demanded that the two
men leave, Schoolcraft
allegedly displayed a pistol
he had concealed in his
rear pocket before fleeing
the scene. The thieves did
not get away with any
money and later told
police they had gone to the
house to rob the victim
during a cocaine sale.
The two are being held
in the Sarasota County Jail
on $100,000 bond. School-
craft was arrested in July
for armed robbery.

MEDICAL CENTER


Think Pink!


omen are busy at every age, and it's easy to forget about
breast health. That's why it's important to know that
breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, and after
lung cancer, the second most fatal.
There's good news, however. Over 2 million women have survived
breast cancer, and survival rates are increasing every year. This October,
we hope you'll "think pink"-take a few
minutes to reflect about breast cancer and
the steps you can take to prevent it. ...MV,


Risk Factors.
It's important to discuss your family and
medical history with your physician, and
to familiarize yourself with the risk factors
for breast cancer. Some risk factors can't be
controlled. They include:


* Family history. Women whose mothers or sisters had breast
cancer are more at risk.
Age of first period, menopause, and first full-term pregnancy.
Women who started menstruating early (before 12) or began
menopause late (after 55) are more at risk, as are women
who were over 30 at their first pregnancy and women who had
no children.
Age and ethnicity. Older women and white women are more
likely to develop breast cancer.

At the same time, many risk factors are controllable. They include:
Alcohol consumption. Women who have more than one drink a
day are more likely to develop breast cancer.
Obesity. Obesity increases the risk of post-menopausal breast
cancer.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Prolonged use of HRT
also increases the risk of developing the disease after menopause.

Early Detection and Screening.
Breast cancer symptoms can be difficult to detect, and sometimes
there are no symptoms at all. That's why breast cancer screening
is so important, because early detection is critical to a successful
outcome. Three screening tests are commonly used to spot breast
cancer in its early stages.
* Mammography. Mammograms-or breast x-rays-are the single
most important tool in the early detection of cancerous
tumors in breast tissue. If you're over the age of 40, make
sure you've talked to your doctor about scheduling annual
mammograms.
Clinical breast examinations (CBEs). All women should
have breast exams at their yearly checkups. The examiner
gently feels the breast and underarm tissue to detect any
lumps or abnormalities.
Breast self-exams (BSEs). It's important to be familiar with the
appearance and feel of your breasts, and to contact your
doctor immediately if you notice changes. Ask your health
care provider to show you how to perform a thorough self-exam.

Diagnosis.
A breast cancer diagnosis is frightening, but you're not alone-as
many as 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer
this year. Your doctor will discuss treatment options with you,
which often include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Your
doctor can also help you find local breast cancer support groups,
and you can visit www.breastcancer.org for more information and to
find online forums.
This month, be proactive about your breast health. Think about
making healthy lifestyle choices, like exercising regularly and curbing
alcohol intake. If you're over 40 and you haven't had a mammogram
this year, schedule one. Early detection is everything in the fight
against breast cancer, so think pink!


DIGITAL

MAMMOGRAPHY

AT VENICE

HEALTHPARK

VRMC's HealthPark boasts a wide array
of state-of-the-art medical technology, and
among the best is our Selenia' digital mam-
mography system. Explains Rob Bruce,
Director of Radiology Services at VRMC
and HealthPark, "Digital mammography
allows us to provide our patients with the
highest quality of care in the prevention
and early detection of breast cancer."
The benefits of digital mammography
include:

Increased accuracy.
Radiologists can view the breast tissue
in much finer detail.
Increased efficiency.
Digital mammograms take half
the time of traditional x-rays, and the
radiologist can view the images in
the exam room. That way, addi-
tional films-if necessary-can be
taken right then and there.
Computer-aided detection (CAD).
CAD offers a "second-read" of the
mammogram by computer, calling
radiologists' attention to anything
they might have missed.
Same day results.
In most cases, results are available the
same day, meaning less anxiety for
patients.

Mammograms are being performed
at a special rate of $99 during this month
of October. For more information, or to
schedule your digital mammogram, call
Venice HealthPark at (941) 483-7634.

ALL THAT JAZZ 3B

He touched our

lives, and the

memories live on
BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR

As I write this it is
Monday, the worst day of
the week.
Monday never was the
worst day until this week
when I walked into the
office and had the wind
knocked out of me.
"Claude died," Bob
Mudge said.
Claude Lewis was my
friend, part of our little
Gondolier family.
I felt cold and clammy.
Not Claude.
In 13 years at the Venice
Gondolier Sun, I have
gained some of my most
special friends, people
who have become like
family to me. I am an only
child and I have an only
child. My friends are my
family. Claude and his
wife Michelle are part of
that family.
I was going to write a
story about the road trip I
took this weekend and
finish a story about the
Jewish High Holy Days for
Sunday's paper.
Instead I was sitting at
Bob's desk, not wanting to
believe what I was hear-
ing.
Claude had an asthma
attack Friday while driving
to cover a ball game for
the Chiefland Citizen. He
managed to pull to the
side of the road but by the
time paramedics found
him, it was too late.
Claude was just 54.
He was the sports edi-
tor of the Chiefland
Citizen, having moved
there a little over a year
ago.
In early June he and
Michelle were at the
Florida Press Association's
annual awards banquet.
He was there to pick up
some more awards,
including one for a humor
column he wrote in
Chiefland. For several
years I was a judge of
these contests but until
this year, we always
judged for papers from
other states. This year, we
judged Florida writers,
with two judges per cate-
gory to pick six finalists
per category. The finalists
were then judged by a
team of writers from
another state. One of the
categories I judged was
humor columns in class
C. The Gondolier Sun is in
Class B.
We two judges cut the
stack of entries in half and
decided we would each
pick the best six and then
trade those stacks and
pick the top three. I was
nearly finished with my
pile of nearly 30 entries
when I found a column by
Claude. It was about a
snake that had gotten
loose in his jeep and what
he went through to finally
get the snake back into a
container. It took several
fruitless trips to a car
repair place because it
seemed that it was all up
to the snake, which finally

Robb Foran sprays a coat of polyester
on the body of a new guitar.

BY BOB BYLER
GUEST WRITER


A North Port man's avocation
could be a full-time business.
"I love building guitars and
helping people," Robb Foran said.
"I'm happy when a user says, 'That
was really a killer job.'"
Foran, 43, calls his budding
business XXXGuitars.
He began modifying guitars 15
years ago. Since 2004 he has built
about 20 reproduction and cus-
tom solid-body guitars for other
players.
Foran studied at the Ringling
School of Art and design in
Sarasota and creates designs to
meet preferences of buyers. His
"black fighter" has small bomb
inlays under the frets and a sun-
burst tiger, a pattern of stripes and
whirls.
Foran has learned a lot about
various woods.
"Maple is heavy and has a very
light sound," he said. "Basswood is
light and has a brilliant sound.
Alder is light and has a medium
bright sound. Mahogany is heavy
and has a warm sound."
Guitar players are picky about
getting the sound they want.
Playing showy personalized gui-
tars also enhances fans' response
to performances.
Foran finishes the guitar bodies
with decals, airbrushing, color
dyes or paint. He uses a clear poly-
ester coat that dries hard as glass
since learning that urethane was
too soft and let tuning keys sink
into the wood.
Most necks are made by a
builder friend, Doug Bass of
Monster Guitar Shop in
Maryland. Foran also does full
builds with rosewood, maple and
ebony necks and types of bridges
and frets, he said. The primary
body styles are Stratocaster,
Explorer and Flying V. One spe-
cialty is drop-top construction
that combines various types of
wood.
Foran's Web site, www.myspace.
com/xxxguitars, contains photos
of his work and includes tributes
from satisfied buyers.
One of those buyers is Gene
Landry of Corpus Christi, Texas,
who now endorses Foran.
"Some companies would have
given him (Landry) guitars, but he
likes mine best," Foran said. "I also
had T-shirts made for him by
Designer Tee in Englewood."
Another buyer is Rich Miller,


who likes 1983-84 San Dimas-style
reproductions and wants Foran to
build two a month for him.
Foran was born in Long Island
and has lived in several states. He
and his mother came to his grand-
father's home at North Port in
1972. He moved there from
Sarasota to a house his mother
sold him in 2004.
The guitar builder learned to
play acoustic guitar at the age of
14 by playing along with records.
Two songs he recalls were by gui-
tarist Gary Moore and horn man
Louis Armstrong, who ht. ,i,\ \\.i,
"awesome."
Foran has a good eai
"I can hear a tune a c mpl
times and play it," he saint I
Foran got into popul, 1
and rock music as a
rhythm guitarist and
singer. His primary
band was Wicked
Gypsy, with gui-
tarist Joe Gilbert
and drummer
Billy Bedwell.
The band
played around
Florida and in
Georgia in the
early 1990s.
He stopped
playing after his
wife died from a
viral infection in
1993, and he had
their infant son to
raise.
"He now is 15, 6 feet 2
and a great kid," Foran m 11 I,
proudly.
"Foran has worked hloi 114n

1991, and his ambitions .11- Slup, -
ported by his boss, Danni "\,iii
He also is a musician an, I \\ ll-
known for operating sound sys-
tems and a partner in Troll
Music.
Foran's prices are reasonable:
$600 to $800 for his products. He
plans to create a series of guitars
to sell, but needs a CNC machine
and a paint booth for full pro-
duction.
"Maybe an investor will call
on my cell phone (468-7460),"
he said.
Meanwhile, he is dedicat-
ed to hand-building guitars
and serving musicians'
needs. Among players he
admires and shows on his Web
site are Alex Skolnick of the
Testament band, George Lynch
from Arizona and John Norum


from Norway.
"I do my own styles, but also
accommodate some other peo-
ple's tastes," Foran said. "I h. i\
a creative mind, and this is
something I love and enjoy.

MEMORIES


decided to reappear one
day as Claude was driving
down the road. As the
snake crawled out from
wherever it had been vaca-
tioning, Claude picked it
up, put it around his
shoulder like a stole and
headed for the nearest
convenience store to pur-
chase some sort of con-
tainer. Imagine the shock
of the lady behind the
counter when Claude
walked in? Claude pur-
chased a Styrofoam cooler,
took the snake safely
home and had a story. As I
read his column I wanted
to giggle and then finally
laugh out loud but I didn't
dare lest I influence my
fellow judge. Somehow I
managed to keep quiet
and slip Claude's story into
my top six and hand it to


the other judge. As I was
reading her choices, I
heard sniggering and then
giggles and then she was
laughing out loud. I looked
over to see what was so
funny. She was reading
Claude's column. The New
York judges ultimately
liked it too and awarded
him a second place for the
category. In the same con-
test he earned an award
for his sports page at the
Chiefland Citizen.
He also won an award
for an article written the
previous year while still
with the Gondolier Sun

where he was the consum-
mate sports editor. In that
capacity he was among
the very best anywhere. He
not only kept stats for the
kids on the varsity teams,
he kept stats for the kids in
Pop Warner football and in
Little League. Claude was
as quick to write a story
about one of the little kids
as about the high school's
most valuable player.
Always fair, Claude was an
ardent supporter of youth
sports. He also was pas-
sionate about car racing
and had a cadre of fans
among the drivers at the


various speedways up and
down the west coast of the
state.
Senior softball players
liked him. So did local
golfers. He covered them
all, winning respect as
well as writing awards.
In our little editorial
department, we just plain
liked him. As hard to
believe as his passing is
his age. Claude was forev-
er young. He always had a
glint in his eye and a
youthful exuberance.

snakes. Claude kept real
snakes for pets because of
his asthma and allergies.
A few times, Claude
brought some into the
office in containers. Once,
a snake got loose and
Sylvia Tabler and I ended
up on top of our respec-
tive desks instead of in
our chairs. Other times
there were some
impromptu hockey
games around the foun-
tain pool in the center of
the building and possibly
once or twice a little foot-
ball tossing. After all, boys
will be boys and that too


was one of Claude's
endearing qualities.
It is hard to think of
other stories today but if
anyone would get right
back to work, it would be
Claude. He knew when to
take a break but he always
knew when to get down to
work and knock out his
stories, so many of which
were prize-worthy.
The real winners were
those of us whose path he
crossed.
Thank you, Claude.

Clean out your attics, closets and lock
box, the Roadshow is coming to town.
Roadshow experts are in town all this week
purchasing antiques and collectibles.
While the Roadshow will accept anything
that's old, they are focusing on gold and
silver, also coins made before 1965,
military items, musical instruments, pocket
and wrist watches. Modem jewelry with
diamonds and other precious stones are also
being accepted.
One person that attended the Roadshow
brought in an 1864 Civil War sword and
a coin collection and left 45 minutes later
$10,000 richer. Another was not as lucky
but seemed happy with the $355.00 they
received for broken gold jewelry. "I think
this is a great idea" said one lady that sold
her old class ring and some broken gold
chains. "The stuff was just lying in a dresser
drawer for years." She received $248.42 for
her efforts. Jeff Parsons, the president of
the Treasure Hunters Roadshow explained
what the show is all about. It's a chance for
anyone to sell their stuff and get what it's
really worth he said. It seems everyone has

items they have wondered about or want to
sell but really don't know where to go said
Parsons. He said the show has been in over
600 cities since 2001. When asked what
the most memorable experience was he had
a quick answer. "Without a doubt it was
a show in Pennsylvania when an elderly
gentleman asked if we could send someone
with him to visit an old toy store he had
closed down 50 years ago. It was like
walking back in time" Parsons said "the
store's 50 year old inventory was still on
the shelves the store was a treasure trove of
collectible toys. I have never seen anything
like it. It was simply unbelievable!"
It seems the store was closed due to World
War II. "I had to go serve my country."
the owner told Parsons. Serve he did
for the next 35 years. The collection of
vintage toys still in their original boxes
sold for more than $650,000. All this
week Roadshow experts will be accepting
various types of antiques and collectibles.
The event is free and no appointment is
necessary.

FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST

Some members of the
Venice Yacht Club kept their
cool by volunteering for the
dunk tank. At three tries for
$5, members worked at hit-
ting the bull's-eye to give John
Jepson, Horace Cook, Shaun
Graser, David Yarzab and
Bob Cummings a dunk in the
water tank. For $20 members
could just walk up and touch


the target for a free dunk.
Not only did this give
everyone at the afternoon
pool party a laugh but it
raised money for the Venice
Youth Boating Association.
Claire and Don Mercereau
and Marge Kuypers added to
the fundraising by coordinat-
ing a bake sale with home-
made goodies including lus-
cious chocolate cupcakes.
The children spent the
afternoon swimming, eating
and, thanks to face painter
Sherry Jenkins, getting their
bodies painted.
Three cheers to John and
Dee Dee Jepson and their
committee for creating a fun
afternoon.
Remembering Sept. 11
Epiphany Cathedral School
music teachers Chandelle
LaForest and Jackie Brown
brought baritone Ethan


Dudley and accompanist
Kristen Kemp to the school
for a concert. The teachers
wanted to commemorate the
day in a special way.
The concert was a first in a
series.
"Bringing a guest artist
only a few years older than the
students to the school gives
them a chance to see where
they can be in a few years,"
LaForest told the audience.
Dudley, 22, is a student at
Lawrence University.
After the performance,
students asked questions
such as, "Is it expensive to
take singing lessons?" and
"Did you ever faint on stage?"
Journalists Andrea Brusger
and Courtney Montgomery
interviewed the singer for the
school newspaper.
Yankee pride
Carolyn and Frank


Stephens traveled to the
Bronx recently for one last
ballgame atYankee Stadium.
They had fabulous first-base
seats and the Yankees beat
the Royals 15-6.

The special person of this
week is Epiphany Cathedral
School student Kelli Kennedy.
This terrific student passed
out programs at the Sept.11
concert. Pinned to the pocket
on her uniform shirt was a
handmade American flag. It
was the only flag I saw anyone
wearing that day.
Three cheers to Kennedy
for her pride in being an
American and wearing a flag
to show that pride on an
important day.
Kelli Kennedy is one of the
Epiphany Cathedral School
students who make Venice a
great place to live.
