City cool to new


street vendors


City leaders were apprised
this week that a quorum can
be formed to vote on whether
to pay the fees of private attor-
neys that some council mem-
bers hired in connection to the
Sunshine suit.
The suit was settled, with
plaintiff Anthony Lorenzo
agreeing to drop the case
against individual defendants
in return for the city's admis-
sion that it was guilty of violat-
ing the state's Government in
the Sunshine law and the
Public Records law. A Sep-
tember hearing is scheduled at
which Judge Robert Bennett
will determine how much the
city will be required to pay
Lorenzo in attorneys' fees and
costs. Lorenzo has said he will


Lang Moore

not receive a penny from the
settlement.
Lorenzo's attorneys are
expected to seek nearly $1 mil-
lion in fees, and possibly more
with a multiplier. The city is
also on the hook for an esti-
mated $700,000 in attorney
fees for the city attorney and
attorneys hired by the city's
insurer to defend the case.
Whether to pay an addition-
al $200,000 in attorney fees for
those who hired private attor-


neys has been a topic of debate
lately. Mayor Ed Martin, coun-
cil members Sue Lang, John
Moore and John Simmonds,
and former airport board
member Paul Hollowell hired
their own attorneys initially.
Those council members would
have a conflict of interest and
could not vote on whether to
pay the fees.
That left only three council
members available to vote -
Vicki Noren Taylor, Ernie Za-
vodnyik and Kit McKeon -
but the city charter requires a
quorum of four members.
On Tuesday, City Attorney
Bob Anderson informed coun-
cil he received an informal
opinion from the state Com-
mission on Ethics that states
Lang can vote on the issue -

Heartbreaker

People hoping to earn a liv-
ing as street vendors in Venice
may have to look elsewhere.
City Manager Isaac Turner
came to city council this week
asking for direction on how to
deal with an increasing num-
ber of people seeking permits
to sell hot dogs in downtown
Venice.
"I don't think we are inter-
ested in having any more hot-
dog and other vendors in
downtown Venice," said Coun-
cil Member John Moore, airing
on opinion that appeared to be
shared by a majority.
The city currently doesn't
have any rules against the
activity. In the past, council
decided the issue on an case-
by-case basis.
Council was cool to the idea
of more vendors on city
streets, but asked the city man-
ager for more information be-
fore making any decisions.
Chief among its concerns is
competition with existing
businesses.
"We certainly wouldn't want


to be in competition with busi-
nesses paying taxes," Turner
said.
Venice MainStreet Execu-
tive Director KC Quaretti-Lee
agreed that the potential of
mobile vendors could affect
local businesses.
"I would hate to see local
vendors jeopardize the shops
around here," she said.
Currently the city has only
two such vendors a conces-
sion stand at the South Jetty
that operates under a formal
written agreement with the
city and an ice cream truck
whose route was approved by
council. A second ice cream
vendor was turned down last
year.

Celebrate National

Bike Month in May

BY MONTY ANDREWS
GUEST WRITER

May is National Bike Month, and what
better time to get out and cruise the
Venetian Waterway Park or the Legacy Trail.
The weather is nearly perfect and the num-
ber of trail users is down to a comfortable
level. No excuses, no reason not to ride.
The reasons for cycling are numerous,
and basically age is not an impediment.
So what is to be gained from cycling? To
name a few, physical conditioning, riding
together as a family, meeting new people,
integrating another facet into your exercise
program and discovering new ride routes.
For a change of pace, how about consid-
ering biking to work? Or how about donning
a backpack and biking to the store when
you just need a few items?
I occasionally bike with Joe, who decided
his bicycle would be his primary mode of
transportation. Joe gave the car to his wife
and he bikes to work. There were a few
problems initially, but he seems to have
worked them out. I admire his resolve, and
the money he is saving.
Incidentally I recently found out Punta
Gorda received its Bicycle Friendly Com-
munity designation. Our congratulations to
those responsible for making it happen.
Ride safe, ride smart.

New rentals push



council into action


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Mayor Ed Martin persuaded his
fellow city council members this
week to break the logjam holding
up passage of a new short-term
rental ordinance.
News of three new short-term
rentals that went into business over
the past few weeks prompted Martin
into action, he said.
Martin said he at
least wanted to "stop
the number from
growing."
A new ordinance
barring short-term
rentals in single-fami-
ly residential neigh-
borhoods was drafted Martin
last year but stalled in
negotiations with current rental
owners over an amortization sched-
ule that would put the rentals out of
existence after a 12-month period.
The same policy also appears in
the draft comprehensive plan that
is still under review by council.
Martin asked council members
to separate the amortization sched-
ule from the main ordinance and
pass the ordinance soon.
An amortization schedule could
be added at a later date, he suggested.
"The time has come to pass the
first part to prohibit future" short-


term rentals, Martin said. "It might
be expeditious to get this passed
and limit (the) use of those places
in the future."
Council asked for an update on
the ordinance at its May 26 meeting
by policy consultants Depew and
Associates and outside attorney
Andrea Zelman, who is representing
the city in a lawsuit over the rentals.
Zelman asked for a "shade" (closed)
session at the next council meeting
to discuss a judgment requiring the
city to pay legal fees and costs.
The rentals showed up on coun-
cil's radar screen in 2005 when
Jacksonville businessman Steve
Milo converted more than a dozen
homes into vacation rentals for
durations of less than 30 days. He
advertised the homes via the
Internet as weekly rentals that
accommodated up to 16 guests in
some locations.
Complaints led the city to ban
the rentals. That was successfully
challenged in court by Milo.
A judge said the city didn't have
an ordinance specifically banning
the practice, therefore they are
allowed until such time as the city
adopts rules stating otherwise.
Milo has threatened to sue the
city again if it passes an ordinance
that would put him out of business.

Funds lined up for VHA


affordable housing project


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR


The city's decision two years ago to begin
assisting the Venice Housing Authority -
both administratively and with funding is
beginning to pay dividends.
This week Venice City Council approved
a number of administrative actions that
will provide grants eventually totaling
$405,000 for VHAs low-income-housing
project on Grove Street.
The much-needed funds will provide a
kick start for planning and design of the
Venetian Cove development, a mix of low-
income and some market-rate rentals.
Council agreed to give the authority
$24,000 in one-time stimulus funds for
infrastructure design and permitting for
the project.
It gave city staff the go-ahead to file grant
applications on behalf of VHA for Housing
and Urban Development community
development block grants for this year and
next year at approximately $90,000 per
year.
Council is also dedicating pass-through
grants from the county to the project. It
agreed to earmark community block grants
totaling $67,000 for each of the next three
years to the VHA. Council originally ear-
marked the funds for a stormwater replace-
ment project in Venice Mobile Home Park.
That project will still be funded albeit
three years down the road.
Most of the funds are to be spent on
infrastructure, with 20 percent dedicated to
administrative costs and a required $5,000


contribution to local food banks, according
to Val Raney, an engineer research analyst
and the city's grant specialist.
'Near future'
Benjamin Bell, the HUD-appointed
director of VHA, said the stimulus funds
and existing funds provide a total of rough-
ly $180,000 to use on the redevelopment
project "in the near future."
Earlier this year the housing authority
agreed on building a minimum of 117 units
with about 60 being low-income and the
rest market-rate, but more if necessary to
make the project successful.
Norstar/PriMerica, which the VHA
selected as its developer, will first build a
facility for low-income senior housing. If
that's successful, it will build the remaining

In September 2008, resi-
dents were moved out of the
existing units, which are to be
torn down to make way for
the new project.
VHA's first attempt to rede-
velop in 2006 failed when the
developer pulled out.
Lang When Sue Lang was elect-
ed to city council in 2007 and
appointed as liaison to the housing author-
ity, she encouraged the city to use its grants,
and its grant specialist, to help the strug-
gling authority. Prior to that the city had
provided no funding or administrative
assistance.

Legislature fails on 9-1-1 certification


I t's no surprise that a bill calling for
mandatory training of all 9-1-1
emergency call center dispatch-
ers in the state was sponsored by local
legislators.
We in Sarasota, Charlotte and
DeSoto counties are all too aware of
the potential horrors associated with
a breakdown of the emergency call
system.
However, the passion to provide a
higher level of public safety apparent-
ly gets diluted with distance and time.
It also can be hard to counterpunch
past Tallahassee lobbyists. That's the
way it goes in the capital.
Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, who
sponsored a Senate bill this year
requiring state certification of all 9-1-
1 operators, said the lobbyist for the


state's emergency operators pushed
hard for changes in the wording of the
bill.
Rep. Paige Kreegel, R-Punta Gorda,
who co-sponsored a House bill with
freshman Rep. Ken Roberson, R-Port
Charlotte, told Sun staff writer Ed
Scott, "There are some lobbyists for
the 9-1-1 operators who interfered
with the process greatly."
The bill just didn't have the trac-
tion, or didn't get enough of a push, so
it stalled in the final days of a session
that concentrated so much on budget
problems.
It was Kreegel who took the lead on
9-1-1 dispatcher certification last year
in the wake of the murder of Denise
Amber Lee.
By now, we know the story of how


Lee was kidnapped from her North
Port home in January 2008. A witness
saw the 21-year-old woman strug-
gling in a car with a man and called 9-
1-1, but no officers were dispatched
to the scene by the Charlotte County
Sheriff's Office.
This mistake led to a campaign by
Lee's family for greater accountability
and uniform standards that might
help restore confidence in a system
that failed them so badly.
Last year, Kreegel won passage of a
bill that called for voluntary training,
but it had no teeth and came with no
funding, so it had little impact. This
year, Roberson led the team effort,
but still there was enough resistance
and too many questions.
The bill will be back next year.


Kreegel thinks this year's effort might
smooth the path to passage in 2010.
We hope so.
The Charlotte County Sheriff's
Office insists its requirements for dis-
patchers exceed national standards.
Sarasota County announced last
week that its communications center
had won certification from a national
accreditation agency.
That's comforting, but we need to
know that emergency dispatch has
consistent and consistently high -
standards throughout the state. We
have seen what can go wrong.
As Detert told the Sun, "It's unbe-
lievable that something with this
much common sense could not pass
the Legislature."
Unbelievable, yes. Unusual, no.


Comp plan being


compromised


NEWS ITEM.- FLORIPA HAS TRASHY SEACHE5


JOHN OSMULSKI
GUEST COLUMNIST


Do you understand or
know what the Venice
comprehensive plan is? If
you are like most, you
probably don't, but you
should be aware of how
this plan will affect the
value of your home or
business over the next
seven years.
Developing a comp
plan is a mandate from
the state of Florida to
local jurisdictions. In lay-
man's terms, it a road
map to aid and give guid-
ance and direction over a
period of seven years.
What's confusing about
the Venice comp plan is
all the zoning restrictions
and land-development
restrictions that have
been added. They do not
belong in a comp plan;
they belong where they
were intended to be: in
the zoning code and in
land-development regu-
lations.
Let me take this op-
portunity to break down
the plan into smaller ele-
ments. I will touch on the
most cumbersome part.
The Future Land Use
and Design Element is
168 pages, with maps,
and would make average
citizen get lost, confused
and sleepy. Draft 5, which
presently is on the table,
is a product of city coun-
cil refusing to recognize
advisory board input.
Council has shown it is
not interested in input.
This goes against all the
good done through the
Envision Venice process.
There is a lot of talk
about going "green" and
"green building prac-
tices," but again, a sound
plan for that was not
added to the comp plan.
There needs to be a
strong sense of place;
walkability and transit al-
ternatives are also ex-
tremely important. This
plan, on the other hand,
promotes sprawl, and
goes totally against all of
these things.
This plan casts aside
all the hard work that
went into the joint plan-
ning agreement between
Sarasota County and the
city. That was a joint
effort to define densities
and infrastructure im-


provements, while main-
taining boundaries that
were previously agreed to
by both parties.
Simply put, what this
plan hopes to accom-
plish is no growth or an-
nexations within the city.
That will be the death of
Venice because the city
will have no control over
the surrounding areas.
Yes, there will still be
growth, and yes, there
will still be traffic, but
Venice will have no con-
trol over it. This is like an
ostrich that buries its
head in the sand hoping
nothing will happen. Can
you afford higher taxes,
and fewer services? Be-
cause that will be the log-
ical outcome of no-
growth policies.

COMP PLAN
MEETING
Venice City Council
holds what could be its
last comp plan work-
shop on Monday, May
18, at 9:30 a.m. at
Venice City Hall, 401
W. Venice Ave. The
public is welcome to
comment.


Density which, by
the way, is not a bad word
- has been greatly re-
duced in this plan. Re-
member density does
not always equal height,
as some would have you
believe. There are a num-
ber of areas with only two
and three stories that
have densities up to 40
units per acre, something
you probably did not
know. They are on the
manmade island of Ven-
ice as existing noncon-
forming uses today.
Which brings up an-
other point: Draft 5 will
through time create even
more of these noncon-

be the start of only two
styles of architecture

It also restricts heights

While some may say this

away creativity, changes
the way height is mea-

create more flat roofs.
Flexibility has suffered
through the lack of un-

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


Like theY? Remember the Reeds


Editor:
On April 25, a very special woman and longtime
Venice resident died peacefully in Olathe, Kan. Her
name was Isabelle Berry Reed, and were it not for the
generosity of her and her late husband, Cameron
Reed, it is likely the Venice YMCA would not be here
today.
In 1980 we were made aware that the YMCA was
facing possible foreclosure. The YMCA board of direc-
tors was conducting a fundraising campaign dubbed
"The Y Must Stay," and the Reeds were invited to take
a tour. During his one and only visit, Cam got a
glimpse of a room full of sleeping babies at naptime,
and that's all it took to touch his heart. He pledged a
gift of $380,000 and the Y was saved.
The Reeds were quiet donors, not wanting recogni-
tion for their generosity. A loving and caring friend,
Isabelle always chose to stay in the background. I am
blessed to have known her.
She would be so proud to know that last year the Y
provided more than $650,000 in scholarships to low-
income families. Isabelle was so aware of what part
the Y plays in our community, and even attended a
fewY events.
Isabelle and Cameron Reed gave from their hearts.
In her passing, I pray you will remember her, and the
lasting legacy their generosity left on our community.
Even though she had moved back to Kansas last
year to be near family, her obituary requested that in
lieu of flowers, you make a donation to the South
County Family YMCA.

was devoted not to any-

to anything in our coun-

ELLEN HILLSTROM
GUEST COLUMNIST


Working around the
house and using my
computer have changed
somewhat after I went
into "low vision," a nice
way of saying I'm visually
impaired due to dry
macular degeneration.
Reading and watching
TV required adjust-
ments. Thanks again to
the Lighthouse of Mana-
sota's applied living skills
classes, I am adjusting
quite well.
In the kitchen, I re-
member to close the cup-
board doors each time.
Put the dishes back in the


marker pen.
Thanks to the Venice
Lions Club, I received a
Jordy low-vision reader
system with CC TV capa-
bilities. It enables me to
magnify print and pho-
tos to any size I like. I use
it extensively for small-
print instructions such as
on medicine bottles, mag-
azines and newsprint.
You should see my Sal-
vador Dali prints up
close. The Jordy is next to
my computer work sta-
tion, and I can do almost
as much as I could before
the impaired vision hit
me.
In my private quar-
ters, relaxing with a good
talking book gives me
pleasure. Did you know
that through the national
Talking Books Library, I
can receive free of
charge and free of post-
age a selection from
thousands of books, de-
scriptive videos on DVDs,
educational materials,
language lessons, and
daily news online?


I am able to watch reg-
ular TV programs by
moving close to the
screen. I also sleep, dress,
bathe and make up in
this room, all of which
have tips I learned in
class.
My volunteer time is
filled with chairing the
South Venice Beach En-
dowment Trust and the
Venice chapter of Florida
Council of the Blind. I
put in another offer on a
short-sale house and
hope this one goes
through. It is in South
Venice again because I
like it here.
Recent publicity about
the subdivision lacking
central water and sewer
doesn't dissuade me,
although I do feel we will
be retrofitted before too
long in the future.

Venice chapter's repre-
sentative to the Florida

On Target. I was just
reading the paper and I
see that a lady called in
about how she needs
drugs. I found that Toprol
is available at Target, but
it seems Toprol generic is
in short supply so she is


going to have a problem
getting it for a while. But
for right now, Target does
have a good-size stock of
the generic Toprol.
She could also go to

also help her get that. I'd

R.I., on Jan. 25, 1920. He was the
husband of Lillian B. Farley and the
son of the late James J. and Mary E.
(Murphy) Farley, and also the broth-
er of James J. Farley of Naples, Fla.
He lived in Warwick, R.I., from
1951 to 1998, when he moved to
S Nokomis, Fla. Mr. Farley
was a former manager of
the EJ. Newman Lumber
Co. of North Kingstown,
R.I. Before retiring in 1983,
he was co-owner of Redyhung
Door Co. of North Kingstown, R.I.
He was a World War II veteran and
was active in the U.S. Army Reserve
before his retirement in 1971. He

443rd Civil Affairs Company of
Warwick, R.I. Lt. Col. Farley was

Rose Savoca-Zanghi
Rose was born in Cleveland,
Ohio, on July 8, 1912, the third of
five children to August and
Antoinetta Rini. She lived the next
96 years with a vigor that
impressed everyone who met her.
Always an honor student, she
also found time to be an all-star field
hockey player. She graduated from
Shaker Heights High School in 1930
and from Western Reserve Univer-
sity in 1934. She spent most of the
next two decades as a part-time
social worker and full-time mom.
In 1955 she was recruited by a
friend who had a mentally retard-
ed daughter to take over a floun-
dering, part-time summer camp
for mentally retarded children.
Typically unafraid, she challenged
the custodial care model of the day
and showed both families and pro-
fessionals that these children were
capable of much more than they
had been given credit for. That
camp remained a love of hers for
the rest of her life.
That experience led into her
major life's work. At age 40, after a
number of years of working days
and taking courses at night, she
received her master's degree in
special education from Kent State
University. Through her drive and
devotion, she became the fore-
most pioneer in the greater
Cleveland area in this fledgling
field of special education. To this
day she is remembered and
beloved by many a family that she
befriended and many a younger
educator whose career she helped
mold.
In Venice, she is known for her
retirement years, which also were
typically dynamic. Always an avid
tennis player, in her 80s she rou-
tinely won matches against oppo-
nents 20 years younger. At age 84
she made the cover of the Venice
Gondolier Sun, skydiving for her
first time. Only in her 90s did age
finally catch up with her, when she
found she could no longer do the
things she still loved. She died
peacefully on Wednesday, May 13,
2009, at age 96.
She is survived by her three chil-


dren, Nene Everling, Charles Savoca
and Susan Rae; her 13 grandchil-
dren; her 20 great-grandchildren;
numerous nieces and nephews;
and innumerable friends and asso-
ciates whose lives she touched. All
of us will greatly miss "Mrs. Savoca,"
"Mom," "Grandma" or 'Aunt Rose."
Services: A memorial Mass
will be held Saturday, May 30, at
11 a.m. at Epiphany Cathedral.
Ewing Funeral Home is in charge
of arrangements.
J. Donald Stover
J. Donald Stover, 76, of Venice,
Ha., died Wednesday, May 13,2009,
at Venice Regional Medical Center.
Mr. Stover was
bom June 7, 1932, in
Lansing, Mich., to
1 John D. and Kathryn
7 ,,ii (Benson) Stover. Mr.
Stover moved to Ven-
ice in 1996 from Syra-
cuse, N.Y. He retired
Stover in 1986 from John
Deere as a branch
sales manager in Syracuse, N.Y He
was a member of Emmanuel
Lutheran Church, Venice. Don
loved spending time with his family
and enjoyed playing golf.
He is survived by his wife of 55
years, Barbara K. Stover; daughter
Cynthia (Jim) Hook of Tecumseh,
Mich.; son Scott (Barbara) Stover
of New Hope, Pa.; sister Nancy
Boatman of Sun Lakes, Ariz.;
grandchildren Jill and Hillary

Community reporter Jan Findley dies


BY STEPHEN W.
BAUMANN
STAFF WRITER


Jan Findley, whose
talents stretched from
Madison Avenue to South
Sarasota County, died
Wednesday at TideWell
Hospice and Palliative
Care in Englewood, after
a long illness.
For many years, she
was a familiar face at
community functions,
snapping photographs,
scribbling notes and
conducting interviews.
"Jan was always there,
especially for those non-
profit agencies that did
not get a lot of publicity,"
said community volun-
teer Connie Ellis, a long-
time friend.
Findley was born in
Minneapolis, Minn., in
the late 1920s. She
received a bachelor's
degree and a master's
degree from the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, gradu-
ating when she was 22
years old.
According to her son,
Del Findley of Pittsburgh,
Pa., she first worked in
advertising in her home-
town, then moved east to
New York. There, she
began writing copy for
some of the biggest firms
on Madison Avenue.
"It was rather unusual
for a woman," Del said
Wednesday.
She is credited with
some of the most endur-
ing advertising slogans
of the 20th century:
"Choosy mothers choose
Jif," and "Joy cleans clear
down to the shine, and
isn't that a nice reflection
on you?"
In the late 1980s, she
moved to Englewood
and opened an art
gallery. When that closed,
she began freelance writ-
ing for local newspapers.
She covered nonprofit
organizations, church
and community activi-
ties and the arts. She
reviewed plays and con-
certs, always with an


elegant style, a sharp,
knowledgeable eye and
understated wit.
"Her writing was fun.
She was
always easy
to read. It
was like
holding a
conversa-
tion with
her," said
Findley North Port
Sun Editor
Lorraine Schneeberger,
who worked with Find-
ley in Englewood.
With community
reporting, Schneeberger
said, "half the battle is


loving it and knowing
something about it, and
she had that."
Findley is survived by
her son, four grandchil-
dren and two great-


grandchildren. A memo-
rial service is planned for
a later date.

The 6-year-old return-
ed to school Monday.
Parents with children at
the affected school were
notified via a recorded
message from the school
principal, and there are
no plans for any school
closures.
Local health officials
are continually monitor-
ing for any additional
cases of influenza-like ill-
ness in the county.
According to a state
press release, there were
69 confirmed cases and
no probable cases in
Florida as of Friday
morning.
"We expect to see
more confirmed cases of
H1N1 (swine) flu," says
Scott Pritchard, Sarasota
County epidemiologist.


Those increased num-
bers are expected be-
cause there is a higher
level of alert now, and
more people are having
themselves tested, Ship-
ley said.
Sarasota County's first
two confirmed cases of
H1N1, the government
name for swine flu, were
announced Friday by the
state health department.
The virus was con-
tracted by a 10-year-old
girl and her younger
brother.
Pritchard said Friday
that by the time the older
child's case was con-
firmed, she already had
been treated by a physi-
cian and returned to
Tuttle Elementary School
in Sarasota.


Pritchard said the
younger boy is exper-
iencing a normal course
of the virus. Neither sib-
ling was hospitalized.
Although these ill-
nesses have been mild,
people are urged to fol-
low these precautions:
Wash hands often
with soap and water or
use alcohol-based hand
cleaners to reduce the
spread of respiratory ill-
ness.
Cover your nose and
mouth with a tissue
when you cough or
sneeze or use the inside
of your elbow. Throw the
tissue in the trash after
you use it.
Avoid close contact
with people who are
coughing or otherwise
appear ill.
People with a sore


throat, cough, fever of
100 degrees or higher
and fatigue, possibly
along with diarrhea and
vomiting, should contact
their health-care pro-
vider.
If you think you have
influenza, call your doc-
tor and discuss whether
you need to be seen in
the office or emergency
department or stay
home.

Staff was unsure
whether council ap-
proved a third food ven-
dor at Brohard Park.
Ted Kozarski took the
opportunity at Tuesday's
city council meeting to
voice his displeasure
with the ice cream truck
that frequents the neigh-
borhood where he lives.
While some vendors
try to be good neighbors,
he said, "that's more than
I can say for the ice
cream truck."
Kozarski said he could
hear the truck "playing
his insipid tunes a block

conditioning on.
"If I had my druthers,
I'd just as soon we not
have that truck there. It's
an outrageous way to
make a buck. Somebody
should have a talk with
them about behaving
themselves."
"We can look into this
agreement in regards to
the sound," said Council
Member Sue Lang. "I
know this is a problem in
some other communi-
ties. And we've heard to-
day there is a problem."

SOFTBALL: CLASS 5A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP








E NNE


1-0 loss comes on



controversial call


BY PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR


Venice's improbable run at
the school's first-ever state
softball title came to a disap-
pointing end on Friday morn-
ing for the second straight
year.
Defending state champion
Jacksonville Bartram Trail
scored a controversial run in
the top of the seventh inning to
ruin a dominating perfor-
mance by senior pitcher
Stephanie Sullivan as the Lady
Bears pulled out a 1-0 win over
the Lady Indians in the Class
5A state championship on
Friday morning at Plant City
Stadium.
"I feel for the kids. That's all I
can say," a teary-eyed Venice
coach Larry Sandburg said.
"They fought hard to get here.
It was tough. ... There is noth-
ing our kids can be negative
about. Bartram Trail won the
game. We didn't lose it."
The championship was a
rematch of last year's state title
game a 4-2 win by Bartram
Trail.
The final, which was origi-
nally scheduled for Thursday
night, was delayed until Friday
as the teams only played 11
minutes and were just four
outs into it before rain and
lightning stopped play.
Sullivan (21-4) was domi-
nant against the Lady Bears
(27-4). After an opening walk,
she retired 19 straight batters
and had a no-hitter for 6 1/3
innings with nine strikeouts.


"It was awesome," Sandburg
said about Sullivan. "She
adjusted well. She was making
those mistakes earlier in the
first inning. She worked hard to
adjust her motion and she did
it. She pitched a great game. A
phenomenal game. They got
two hits."
With one out in the top of
the seventh inning, Bartram
Trail's Christie Bailey, who bat-
ted left-handed in her first two
at-bats, switched to bat right-
handed. On a 0-1 count, Bailey
lined a clean single into center
field for the Lady Bears' first
hit.
Libby Crowe, the cleanup
hitter, lined the first pitch for a
double down the left-field line
advancing Bailey to third base.
Sandburg visited the
mound to talk to Sullivan.
Venice decided to inten-
tionally walk Abby Tewey to
load the bases. However, on
the second pitch, home plate
umpire Chris Kroon called an
illegal pitch and told Bailey to
come home.
"The pitcher was on the
rubber ready to pitch," Kroon
said. "The catcher was in the
catcher's box ready to receive
the pitch. The pitcher started
her pitch and stopped. That
point we had an illegal pitch.
Runners advance one base
and it's a ball on the batter."
"He said it was a live ball
and she stopped pitching and
it was an illegal pitch,"
Sandburg said. "I just felt like
the girl wasn't in the box and
there shouldn't have been a
pitch."
Was the batter out of the
box?
"To my knowledge, no,"
Kroon said. "The catcher was
ready to receive the ball. The
pitcher was ready to pitch. At
that point the ball was never
dead. At that point when the
pitcher started her windup

and stopped, it was illegal."
"We can't really say much
about it," Venice catcher
Chelsea Zgrabik said about the
controversial run. "Things go
the way things go. We just have
to play how we play."
"First of all that has to be a
heartbreaker," Bartram Trail
coach Jen Harman said. "The
pitcher was out there crying. I
feel just as bad for her. ... She
was upset. It really could have
gone either way. We had some
momentum anyways. I defi-
nitely felt we were going to
score. I didn't know it was
going to happen that way."
The umpires huddled after


Sandburg came out of the
dugout and questioned Kroon.
"I just wanted to make sure
what I had and my partners
had also and after conferring
we all three had the same
thing," Kroon said.
Venice tried to come back in
the bottom of the seventh
inning.
With one out, Mindee
Hasbrouck singled up the mid-
dle. After a foul out to the
catcher produced the second
out, Courtney Markusson kept
the inning alive with a single
into left field moving pinch-
runner Kaytea Hatfield to sec-
ond base.

11 a.m. Saturday against Kiwanis.


The threat and the game
ended on a foul out by Emily
Parsons to Bartram Trail first
baseman Tewey.
'As soon they got that run, I
just brought everybody up in
the circle and said, 'If you give
up right now they walk off the
field because we're not done.' I
just kept telling them base hits,
base hits because people kept
trying to win the game them-
selves. We knew it was a team
effort."
"I thought we came back
pretty good," Sandburg said.
"We got two base hits. One
more hit. Emily has been hit-
ting the ball so well for us. I felt
pretty confident we could get
that one run in. She just got
under it and popped it up."
Venice (23-8-1) left six run-
ners on base including four in
the first six innings but only
one in scoring position.
The Lady Indians did get
their leadoff runners in the
fourth and fifth innings but
couldn't come up with the key
hit.
Venice's best chance was the
fourth inning when Zgrabik,
who went 2-for-3, led off with a
single between first and sec-
ond base. After a fly out, a
groundout to shortstop moved
Zgrabik to second base.
Zgrabik was awarded third
base on an illegal pitch from
Bartram Trail's Kalyn Loverich
(22-4). However, a strikeout by
Loverich ended the inning.
The fact Venice was playing
in the state championship was
something no one expected.
"We can only say it's unbe-
lievable," Zgrabik said about
the season. "We really didn't
think we were going to make it
past districts. This is a big
accomplishment for us. It's
how it ended but we had a
great season."

FROM STEVE CONSTANTINO

The Venice Lawn Care
12-and-under Miss Venice
Fastpitch team recently cap-
tured the Miss Florida 2009
Mid-Season Tournament.

annual tournament over three
days by outscoring opponents,
53-11.
In their earlier games, VLC
dominated with 15-0, 14-1 and
12-0 victories.
In the quarterfinals against
AE Lakeland, Venice Lawn Care
battled back from a 4-3 deficit
to tie in the fourth inning when
Taylor Constantino drove in
Brittany Pritchett. After a scor-
ing controversy which would


have given AE Lakeland the
win and a 30-minute delay,
VLC scored five runs to pull out
the win. Pritchett had 12 strike-
outs in the win.
In the semifinals against
Bartow, VLC grabbed a 2-0 lead
whne Destiny Bishop tripled
knocked in Jamie Quinn in the
third inning. Bartow tied it at 2-
2 in the fourth inning. In the
last inning, Pritchett singled.
After Taylor Louks hit into a
fielder's choice to move
Pritchett to third base, Alicia
Wagner drove in the winning
run. Carly Rosa had eight
strikeouts for VLC.
In the championship game
against Christina Park-Fern
Partnership, VLC scored a run


in the first and third innings on
hits by Morgan Wier, Rosa,
Pritchett and Constantino.
Trailing 3-2, Taylor Nobles
scored the tying run on an
overthrow after reaching on a
single.
In the final inning, Con-
stantino walked. A walk to
Louks and hit by Wagner
loaded the bases with no outs.
After two outs, Lanae Steele
singled in Constantino with
the winning run.
In the 8-under division,
Venice, coached by Kim Simes,
finished fifth while the 10-
and-under division, Venice,
coached by Jerry Simes and
Jerry Clipse, were second and
third.


RUNNER-UP from Page8A


Venice.
The Lady Indians used
bunts, key hits and a five-
hitter by senior
Stephanie Sullivan to
advance to their second
straight state champi-
onship with a 3-0 win
over North Fort Myers on
Thursday morning at
Plant City Stadium.
"I thought the game
was pretty simple,"
Venice coach Larry
Sandburg said. "We got
the big hit when we
needed it and able to
make some good defen-
sive plays. Stephanie
threw pitches when she
needed to throw pitches.
That's the basis of the
game. You preach it all
year. Timely hitting and
good defense. That was a
pretty good case of it
right there."
The game, originally
scheduled for Wednesday
night, was postponed as
rain dumped on the field
30 minutes before game
time. The field was cov-
ered with a tarp but after
40 minutes, the game
was called because the
field was flooded and
unplayable.
The 15-hour delay
didn't affect Venice as the
Lady Indians (23-7-1) got
ahead in the first inning.
Freshman Amber
Yonker's reached on an
errant throw off by North
Fort Myers pitcher Jamie
Owen on her bunt
attempt. Freshman Kelly
Ott's sacrifice bunt her
first of three moved
Yonker to second base.
After a strikeout, Mel
Dembinski grounded a
single just past a diving
shortstop into left field to
scoreYonker.
"This year I have more
confidence in myself and
the team," Mel Dembinski
said. "Last year I was real-
ly nervous. I was thinking
base hit."
"Definitely that first
run in the first inning
took a lot of nerves off,"
Venice catcher Chelsea
Zgrabik said.
"They got an unearned
run in the first inning
and kind of set the
tone," North Fort Myers
coach Jeff Miner said.
Sullivan (21-3) strug-
gled at the start by hitting
Lexi Schlotter on her first
pitch then hitting Kayla
Ramey with a pitch.
Venice pitching coach
Stacey Preece visited to
the mound to calm down
Sullivan.
"She asked me if I
was OK and if I needed
anything," Sullivan said
about her conversation
with Preece. "I was like,
'I'm OK. I'm just really
nervous.' "
Red Knight senior
Mariah Fernandez, who
will be Sullivan's team-
mate next season at
Florida Gulf Coast
University, walked to
load the bases. Sullivan
got a strikeout then
Katrissa Rowell fouled
out to second baseman
Yonker behind first base.
Schlotter proceeded to
score on the sacrifice fly
However, the run was
removed from the score-
board after Venice chal-


lenged that the runner
left early from third base.
The umpire ruled in
Venice's favor and she
was called out.
"That was a big call,"
Sandburg said. "I didn't
even see it. (Assistant
coach) Mike (Zgrabik) is
the one who picked it up.
In reflection, she did get
home awful quick. That
was a big play. Second
baseman made a heck of
a play. She got rid of the
ball plenty of time."
"We had opportunity
in the first inning bases
loaded and no outs and
couldn't plate a run,"
Miner said. "Then we
did plate a run and left a
little too soon. We work
on this all the time so
I'm assuming we left
(base) good but it's his
call."
With one out in the
second inning, the Red
Knights (27-4) got run-
ners on second and third
on two hits but a foul out
to Venice catcher Zgrabik
and strikeout ended the


threat.
"I kind of looked back
on last year (in state
final)," Sullivan said
about getting back in the
groove. "OK, I hit the
same two people so I just
kind of have to do better
than last year."
Venice added a run in
the third inning as Emily
Parsons led off with a sin-
gle. Yonker walked and a
sacrifice bunt by Ott
moved runners to sec-
ond and third base.
Zgrabik hit a hard
grounder to shortstop
scoring Parsons on the
fielder's choice.
North Fort Myers left
eight runners on base
including five in the scor-
ing position.
"We had opportunity
to win the ball game but
just could not come up
with the big hit at the
time with runners in
scoring position," Miner
said. "Whereas during
the regular season we
were coming up with
that big hit."


After allowing a lead-
off single in the third
inning, Sullivan settled
down to retire eight
straight batters.
"I was getting a lot
more confident in my
pitches and that they
were going to work,"
Sullivan said.
Sullivan finished with
seven strikeouts and her
10th shutout of the sea-
son.
The Lady Indians used
a sacrifice bunt in the
seventh inning to score
their final run.
"We bunted well, did-
n't we?" Sandburg said.
Yonker led off with
walk. Ott's sacrifice bunt
moved Yonker to second
base. Zgrabik singled
into left field to score Ott,
who was racing around
third base with the final
run.

B Students beat teachers


-I while trashing beach
BY KIM COOL
'"'" ^ FEATURES EDITOR
Tuesday afternoon, Venice High School science students trashed the beach
at the North Jetty Park.
The occasion was the third annual cardboard boat race, where members of
the VHS Technology and Engineering Club raced boats of their own design out
...... into the Gulf of Mexico as far as the swimmers boundary buoy and then back to
shore. Two boats survived the ordeal. The others did not fare so well. Some
seemed to melt almost as soon as they were pummeled by the heavy surf. Most
started sinking almost as soon as they got to the halfway point in the water.
When one bright green variation on a catamaran literally became two halves
iof the whole, timer Charlie Powell, a Venice High School chemistry teacher,
asked if he should time both halves.
-Steve Case, an Advanced Placement physics teacher, is the driving force
S- behind the contest, which he implemented for the first time two years ago.
Fellow teacher Al Pfundtner works with him in advising the science club stu-
dents and running the contest. This year, the two also collaborated on a boat
they raced in the first of two heats of the eight-boat regatta.
.. _- .._d "The first year went pretty well," Case said. "Last year every boat went
down."
-- Unlike other area cardboard boat contests, the VHS contest is run in the
Gulf of Mexico, where waves can be quite destructive. Last year, the waves won
handily, trashing every boat in record time.
Also unlike other similar contests, VHS boat-builders are allowed to use
cardboard carpet tubes to reinforce their boats.
"We need the forms because of the waves," Case said. 'A lot of the other
........contests don't allow tubes, but we need them."
The youngest student in the contest was Chris Shall, 14, a freshman. He built
a sturdy red boat that stayed afloat but failed to make it to the swim buoy as fast
as the other boats. Time in the water seems to be an issue. Even the two win-

ning boats eventually suc-
cumbed to the ravages of the
water and the surf after an
hour or so in and out of the
water.
The most complicated de-
sign was the work of Brandon
Scarry, 16; Colton Gustin, 17;
Amber Todoroft, 16; Eric
Salaices, 17; Trent Roberts, 15;
and John Barratt, 17. Chris-
tened Viva la fea (live the ugly),
according to Gustin, the boat
was painted white and fea-
tured two out-rigger hulls as
well as its main hull.
"We did four sheets thick at
the bow," Gustin said. "On the
pontoons, we only used one
thickness and we used four
thicknesses at the back and in
the mid-section too. This year
our boat was so massive we
had to get more glue so we
needed an additional spon-
sor."
Diggin Paradise Inc. provid-
ed the additional glue, Gustin
said.
"We were last year's victors,"
Gustin said.


They won a 10-pound
chocolate bar for their efforts.
Neither their glue nor their
luck held this year. Sailing in
the first heat, their boat suc-
cumbed early. They were first
in the water and first out and,
when it was all over, the first
car to leave and go home.
There were two heats, with
Case and Pfundtner besting
the other three boats in the
first heat, making the round-
trip out to the buoy and back
to the beach in 5 minutes 9
seconds. The other three boats
were all washed up before
Case's boat had even turned
around. Back on the beach,
Case's boat looked almost as
good as new, despite its 5-
minute soaking.
In addition to the timer,
there were two students out in
the water in kayaks, ready to
act as lifeguards and debris
collectors. All of the students
were conscientious about
picking up the debris and get-
ting the failed boats out of the
water as quickly as they could.


In the second heat, the story
was similar. Two of the boats
practically self-destructed as
soon as their paddlers were
aboard. One failed because of
weak paddling, although the
design seemed sturdy enough.
The fourth, and winner of the
second heat, was the boat built
by VHS salutatorian Amanda
Basnight, 18, and her partner
Sean O'Brien, 17. Its design
was similar to the boat de-
signed by Case and Pfundtner,
even to the reinforced bow and
the sea-foam green color
although the student boat
sported a lavender racing
stripe.
It was clocked at 4 minutes
26 seconds, making it the clear
winner, and it too looked good
enough to race again.
Case decided there should
be four students in each boat
for the race-off, and when one
student worried that the Case
boat might not survive, Case
simply said he could build
another.
More than an hour had


elapsed since students and
boats arrived at the North Jetty
Park beach. With the trash
mounting up as the soggy
cardboard boats continued to
disintegrate, eight students
headed back into the surf on
the two remaining boats.
By the time they were three-
fourths of the way to the swim
buoy, Basnight had fallen off
the stern of her boat and an
interloper was entering the
race lane. Oblivious to the stu-
dents and their boat race, an
older man came paddling
along standing upright on a
long surfboard, using a canoe
paddle for propulsion. Some-
how he managed to sail past all
the students, including the two
race contenders, without even
noticing what was happening.
He eventually sailed in toward
the beach, hopped off the
board and headed up on
shore.
Meanwhile, the second bat-
tle of the waves was taking its
toll on the two sea-foam green
boats that were on their way


back to shore. The Basnight
and O'Brien boat was the first
to take on water, but neither
survived coming ashore.
Although the teachers' boat
appeared to be in one piece at
water's edge, it very quickly
began to disintegrate once its
shell was torn. Within minutes
there was no sea foam green
paint -just a big pile of brown
cardboard shredded and
torn and soggy brown card-
board.
Knowing the boat debris
would fill at least one Dump-
ster at the park, Case brought
two soccer nets to the beach,
planning to use those to haul
the debris to the Dumpster.
The students combed the
water for every scrap of card-
board, cleaning the beach they
had so thoroughly trashed in
the preceding hour. The
cleanup took longer, but the
memories and the learning
experience should last a life-
time.

",* Recreational
golfers rarely do more
S than take a few practice
S swings before setting foot
on the course. This casual
warm-up does little to
prepare golfers' bodies for the
stresses they must withstand as
they play the game. Due to the
violent torsional forces and
extended range of motion involved
in swinging a club, golf can be very
hard on the back. Each year,
thousands of players visit emergency
rooms with golf-related injuries,
many of which could have been
prevented with a 15-minute warm-up
before each round. Five minutes of
brisk walking followed by a few
simple stretches can go a long way in
preventing golf-related injuries.
Moreover, golfers might want to
consider the benefits that regular
chiropractic treatment can
provide.

P.S. A golf swing combines
compression, torsion, and lateral
bending, producing a motion that
is a risk factor for low-back pain
and disc herniation.

Asparagus encounters poetry (and beer)


at a Lake Michigan coastal village


PHOTO COURTESY OFTRAVERSE CITY CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
In keeping with tradition, a participant in Michigan's annual Empire Asparagus Parade sports a paper hat garnished with stalks of fresh-picked aspara-
gus. This year's festival is this weekend, May 15-17.


Asparagus is king at northern festival.


BY MICHAEL NORTON
TRAVERSE CITY
CONVENTION &
VISITORS BUREAU

After a six-month win-
ter, the arrival of spring
can make people do
strange things.
How else to explain
the literary impulse that
comes over residents of
this tiny Lake Michigan
coastal village every year
when they see the first
brave spears of spring
asparagus pushing up
from the sandy earth?
Each May, residents of
Empire, Mich., dress up
in asparagus costumes
and parade down their
short three-block down-
town. They hold huge
asparagus cook-offs fea-
turing everything from
soups and souffles to
casseroles and crepes.
They sing, dance, com-
pete in athletic events,
and consume respect-
able quantities of beer
and wine. But the spot-
light event of the three-
day Empire Asparagus
Festival is the annual Ode
to Asparagus competi-
tion, where local bards
outdo each other in pay-
ing homage to this
beloved vegetable.
Consider, for example,
the eloquence of Tom
Ulrich, assistant superin-
tendent of the Sleeping
Bear Dunes National
Lakeshore, who won the
contest a year or two
back:

I stand over the bed and
imagine you arising
Green and slender,
uncurling towards me,
Stretching with the pleas-
ant ache of carbon, newly
fixed.

It's been nearly a year
since I've seen your face
And a long winter since
I've tasted anything that
astonished me
The way you always seem
to, no matter how you're


dressed.
The iron clouds skid by,
hiding the sun in their
pockets.
In this cold, flat light my
fingers are pallid and
numb,
Trembling until your
emergence proves every-
thing
anew.

I blow into my cupped
hands,
And wait for you.

Was ever a side dish so
sweetly serenaded?
After California and
Washington, Michigan is
the nation's third-largest
producer of commercial
asparagus, a crop worth
some $29 million a year
to the state. But Empire
doesn't really have what
you'd call an asparagus
industry- just one local
farmer named Harry
Norconk, who has a 240-
acre operation about 2
miles south of town.
Named for an ill-fated
schooner that briefly
served as the village
school after running
aground on the beach in
1865, Empire is best
known as an artsy sum-
mer resort in the heart of
the Sleeping Bear
Dunes.
Still, asparagus is an
opportunistic vegetable,
and every May its perky
green spears start show-
ing up in fields, ditches,
meadows and hillsides all
over this part of the
region. That's all it took
for the citizens of Empire
- all 400 of them to
devise a celebration.
(They already have a fes-
tival honoring a big
anchor that was recov-
ered from the bottom of
the lake in 1977.)
"It's mainly just an
excuse to get out and
enjoy ourselves," said fes-
tival organizer Paul Skin-
ner, a British expatriate
who owns an antique
store in the town. "We


don't really need a big
reason to have music or
eat."
But the festivities do
have their earnest save-
the-world side, too. Like
many other communi-
ties in the fruit-growing
region around Michigan's
Grand Traverse Bay, Em-
pire is a hotbed of advo-
cacy for small-scale local
agriculture and regional
cuisine.
Other towns in the
area celebrate cherries,
wines and wild mush-
rooms; Empire opted for
the humble asparagus.
This year's festival in-
cludes such events as a
5K Kick Ass-paragus Fun
Run/Walk, an asparagus
recipe contest and cook-
off, a tour of local art gal-
leries and studios, the
making of asparagus-
garnished parade hats,
the annual Asparagus Pa-
rade, an afternoon con-
cert and dance, and a
massive asparagus-bas-
ed food, wine and beer
tasting that includes such
treats as asparagus focac-
cia, asparagus pizza, as-
paragus croissants, as-
paragus scones, aspar-
agus bratwurst, aspar-
agus slaw, asparagus and
morel risotto, and aspar-
agus beer. (Yes, it's true -
asparagus beer from the
too-creative-for-their-
own-good brewers at Tra-
verse City's Right Brain
Brewery.)
What else to do
Empire is the head-
quarters of the Sleeping
Bear Dunes National
Lakeshore, a breathtak-
ing symphony of water,
sky and towering sand
dunes some as much
as 500 feet high on the
Lake Michigan shoreline
of the Leelanau Pen-
insula. Part of the nation-
al park system since
1972, Sleeping Bear is
one of America's most
profoundly beautiful
landscapes: a 64-mile
curve of beaches, coves,
islands, forests, meadows
and lakes. Its grandeur


can be viewed from well-
placed overlooks along
the Pierce Stocking Scen-
ic Drive but it's even
better to see the park
close up and personal by
visiting its fascinating
museums, hiking its trails
or even taking a ferryboat
ride to the unspoiled
Manitou Islands.
In most years, the
Empire Asparagus Fest-
ival coincides with the
arrival of spring blos-
soms in the cherry or-
chards of the nearby Lee-
lanau and Old Mission
peninsulas one of
America's most impres-
sive (and least-known)
floral displays.
It's quite a spectacle
itself: 2.6 million bloom-
ing cherry trees climbing
the steep glacial ridges
like battalions of tidy
white clouds, acres of yel-
low dandelions and the
cobalt blue waters of
Grand Traverse Bay.
May is also prime


bird-watching time.
Thanks to its coastal
location along the north-
ern shore of Lake Mich-
igan and its many inland
lakes, marshes and
ponds, this region is also
a favorite destination for
thousands of migratory
birds.
Like their human
counterparts, some of
these visitors are only
stopping for a few days of
relaxation and refresh-
ment while others settle
down for the whole sum-
mer.

FINE WHINES


How can we miss you

if you won't go away?

EDITOR

This will be my first and final column
about Brett Favre. Not a lot of people
can make that claim.
As even nonfootball fans know,
Favre is one of the most accomplished
quarterbacks in the history of the
National Football League. He holds
most of the career passing records, was
an absolute ironman in a vulnerable
position in a rough sport and earned
the undying love and admiration of
Green Bay Packers fans for his athletic
skill and derring-do.
Until he started his "I'm retiring, no
I'm not" act a few years ago. The team
kissed his, um, ring, for a couple of off-
seasons and he came back to play,
almost taking them to the league
championship two years ago.
Then he rode off into the sunset,
tearfully and for good ... only to try yet
another comeback, at which point the
Packers said they had had enough.
Their fans were outraged, but the team
stuck to its guns. Favre signed with the
New York Jets, started off great, hurt the
biceps on his throwing arm, led the
league in interceptions and the Jets
missed the playoffs.
Time to retire again, of course. And
to ask the Jets for his release, ostensibly
so he might sign with, and
officially retire from, the
Packers. Asked by former
NFL QB and ESPN football
analyst Trent Differ whether
the request signaled a possi-
ble return to football, Favre
reportedly responded "NO"
in a text message.
Except he met with the
coach of the Minnesota
Vikings, a bitter division rival
Favre was interested in play-
ing for last year and
reportedly said he's not unre-
tiring. Why he needed a
meeting for that is a mystery.
The Vikings have admitted
they want him.
Perhaps that text message was actu-
ally "NOW" and the last letter got cut


Don't get me wrong. I have the
utmost respect for Favre as a football
player. He was a gunslinger, a trait that
sometimes got him into trouble but
that meant the Packers were rarely out
of a game. You never knew what he
might do, and might not believe it even
after he did it.
But with all his records and acco-
lades, he must be terribly insecure to
have the need to be the center of atten-
tion like this every offseason. Even his
likely ulterior motive if he plays -
sticking it to the Packers by playing for
the Vikings, who are about a quarter-
back shy of contending for the Super
Bowl reveals a man with surprising
self-esteem issues.
When Green Bay rejected him last
year, public opinion was almost unani-
mously in his favor, if only because the
team could have made the same deci-
sion with more respect for him. He lost
some of that moral high ground and
some luster from his achievements -
by playing for the Jets and reportedly
not being a great teammate.
He might be the piece the Vikings are
missing, but if not and there are
dozens of reasons other than him they
could have a bad year he would
come out a loser even if he had his best
year ever.
It's almost unheard of for
an athlete at this stage in his
career to have one more
great season in him. Favre
probably had his last one two
years ago. Eventually he has
to give up playing. It won't be
easy, but I think the time is
now.
Or, he could sign with the
Detroit Lions, who went 0-16
last year and are also in the
Packers' division. They need
help everywhere.
Brett, imagine how the
Packers would feel if you led
the Lions to their first Super
Bowl. That would be re-
venge.

Church spreads spiritual stimulus plan


BY HELEN T. GRAY
MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

On a recent Sunday, the Rev. Will
Bowen gave $3,000 to his congregation
at One Community Spiritual Center,
formerly Christ Church Unity, in
Kansas City, Mo.
Each adult received an envelope
marked "Top Secret." Inside was a $10
bill and instructions: "Your mission,
should you choose to accept it, is to
change the consciousness of those
about you who are feeling there is lack
in our world." Members were to give
away the $10 and spread the word that
"There is limitless abundance in and
around us at all times."
Bowen has been in the news
before. He's the Kansas City pastor
who came up with the idea that has
become a worldwide movement: to a
wear a purple bracelet as a reminder
to quit complaining.
The idea for the "Top Secret Spiritual


Stimulus Plan" came to him because he
got tired of hearing people blame their
woes on the economy.
"Consumer confidence has a big
impact on the economy," he said.
When people became convinced that
the economy was troubled, they "start-
ed freaking out" and hoarding their
money.
"Even the banks were freaking out,
not lending money. It was a collective
freak out. And there is this belief that
the economy dictates our abundance."
Bowen wondered how his church
could change some of the thinking
about the economic crisis, to change
their perceptions and beliefs about
what they have. Then it came to him:
Spread money.
"If all of a sudden money started
being handed out, people may change
their beliefs," he said. "So we are just
doing our small part in showing
Kansas City that there is not lack, but
abundance."


Participants were asked to e-mail
their results of their giveaway to the
church. "It has been thrilling to read the
feedback," Bowen said. Everyone loved
the project and found many different
people to help, he said. Among them:
Fast food drive-throughs were great
spots to ambush unsuspecting $10
recipients. Terry Hale of Kansas City
was in a drive-through lane when she
looked in her rearview mirror and saw
in the car behind her a young woman,
her hair in a ponytail, and behind her a
child's car seat. She could make out a
bit of wiggling from the seat. Hale paid
for her meal at the window and after
the young man returned her change,
she handed him the $10 bill to pay for
the meal for the car behind her.
"You see, we live in an abundant
world and I am paying it forward," she
said. "Thanks and have a great day."
The young man muttered, "OK," with a
look of confusion.
As Hale was receiving her food at the


second window, she saw the attendant
explaining to the young mother that
her meal was paid for. 'A surprised
smile was forming on her face," Hale
said. "I drove away with a gigantic smile
on my own face, and then I wished I'd
thought to give the guy working there
$10, too."
Kelly Seymour of Parkville, Mo.,
ordered a drink and was in a long line
at a drive-through when a teenager
walked out in the rain and cold to
bring out her order. "There's no sense
in you waiting so long for just a
drink," he said. Seymour handed him
the $10, and he said he'd be right back
with the change.
"No," she said. "You keep it."
"Seriously?" he asked. "Seriously,"
Seymour replied. "I want you to know
when you put kindness and generosi-
ty out there, it comes back to you in
greater abundance."

help local children

make art projects

FROM VENICE ART CENTER

When 7-year-old Grace Stanish visited the Venice
Art Center last week, she had just one thing in mind,
finding her friend's paper sculpture of a green spider
among the 863 South County Schools student art
works on display. Before she left, Grace was trying to
decide which art class she wants to take this summer.
Some kids in the Venice area are not so lucky.
Their families are suffering economic hardships
that can make simply putting food on the table
each day a challenge.
But the art center is resolved to continue supply-
ing the community's children with the artistic
classes that will help shape them for the future.
Board of directors Chair Tonya Sauppe recently
sent out an urgent plea for donations, trusting to
the generosity of members to fund children's schol-
arships. The goal: to have no child turned away
from art classes for lack of funding.
"We are expecting more requests for financial
aid this summer than ever before," Sauppe said. "In
some of our local families, one parent has been
downsized, or there is more than one child per
family wanting to take classes. Now, it's more
important than ever not to let the children down."
Last year the art center offered 64 classes
designed for youngsters age 4 through 18. More
than 330 children in the Venice community took
classes in painting, pottery, and photography.
This year, a donation of $40 sponsors one stu-
dent in the Mix It Up one-day class; $70 sponsors
one student age 4 through 18 in one of 17 different
classes; $75 sponsors one student aged 9 and up in
the Stained Glass/Fused Glass class; $80 sponsors
one student age 8 and up in the Pottery & Raku
Class; and $95 sponsors one student age 8 and up
in the Photography class.
For more information about donations or the
children's schedule, contact Venice Art Center at
485-7136 or visit www.veniceartcenter.org.

A brighter future for blinded veterans


VACATION BIBLE CAMPS


FROM NAPSA


There's promising news for
American veterans of conflicts in
Iraq and Afghanistan who have
lost part or all of their sight.
That's because there's a host of
services available that provide
educational programs, career
options, emotional support and


technology designed to improve
their quality of life.
While thousands have already
been helped, an organization
called Blinded Veterans Association
believes even more individuals
could be receiving services.
According to the organization's
executive director, Tom Miller, of
the estimated 165,000 veterans


who are blinded as a result of dis-
ease or age-related factors, only
about a third are aware of the
resources available to them.
Recently, it created Operation
Peer Support. In the project, blind-
ed veterans of past wars interact
with newly blinded veterans to help
them adjust to new challenges.

John Westlie of Liberty
immediately knew he wanted
to give his money to the lady
who cleans his office building
at William Jewell College. He
described her as a hard worker
with boundless cheer and
optimism. But $10 didn't seem
to be enough for her, so Westlie
matched it with $10 of his own.
He then asked other faculty


members in the office if they
wanted to match his $10.
"Several people engaged me
in lengthy conversations and
were fascinated by the concept
that a church would simply
give money away, confident
that there was enough abun-
dance and that the loss to the
budget would not matter."
In the end, the $10 became


$180, and Westlie gave it to the
cleaning lady in a thank-you
card. "We had tears and hugs,"
he said.
While Bowen knows that
many people are facing real
challenges, he said a lot is per-
ception. For example, he was
at the airport and overheard a
conversation between two real
estate agents. "The first one


said, 'In this economy my busi-
ness is in the tank.' The woman
Realtor said, 'I've chosen not to
participate in the down econo-
my, and my business is as
strong as ever.'"
"People are complaining
about the economy, and one
of the main reasons people
complain is to remove them-
selves from responsibility.


The first Realtor may not
have been working as hard,
may have unintentionally
been slowing down. Whereas
the woman was seeing lots of
abundance."
Bowen said many of the
mission results will be shared
in the church's newsletters to
"help perpetuate the truth that
we live in abundance."

A car like the Beach Boys song


What you see
here is a really
bright red
1962 Chevy Impala,
fully restored and built
to specs described in a
very popular song of its
time by owner Rich
Fagan of Port
Charlotte. This "ragtop"
has it all, dual quad,
four speed, positrac-
tion 409 -just like the
words used in their
record. Very good, but
there is much more,
such as a 425 h.p.,
four-wheel disc brakes,
digital dash, air condi-
tioning, 10 bolt rear,
etc. The interior is
almost SS style.
However, Fagan says,
"This is my special
baby, so lots of things
are not stock, including
suspension, wheels
and tires."
Nor has his life been
a "cookie cutter"
design. The interest in
cars goes back to when
he was 10 years old and
hanging around a body
shop helping out as a
cleanup boy, followed
by learning the trade. At
age 14, a job pumping
gas (at $0.21 9/10 per
gallon) kept this young
man busy when not in
school. Quickly, two
years went by, and
there was enough
money to get that first
automobile of his very
own, a 1957 Chevrolet
CV with a fast 283-
cubic-inch engine, plus
a floor shifter. It stayed


'You Auto
Know'

Don
Royston

,


with him through
high school, up to
graduation.
Shortly after all that
studying and part-time
work, into the Navy he
went. An assignment to
the Jacksonville Naval
Base changed his mind
about life in Western
Pennsylvania, with its
bitter cold weather.
Nevertheless, in 1968
when discharged, he
moved back, bought a
1962 Chevy with a
powerful 327 engine,
painted it gold, and
added chrome rims. All
the time, he stayed in
the body/fender line of
work, settling down as
a married man with
wife, Kathy, who gave
him two children:
Mandi and Brian.
That warm Florida
came into his mind
each winter, enough so
to convince the wife to
pack up and move to
Charlotte County in
1976. Palm Chevrolet
hired him as their body
shop manager. (They
had only one dealer-
ship at that time.)
Seeing the need for a
paint supplier, Rich
and store owner Bill
Wetzel of Fort Myers


SUN PHOTOS BY GORDON BOWER


teamed up to start B&R
color and supply in
1979. Raising a family
and running a new
business left little time
to play with fancy cars.
About 1990, his
longtime friend Rick
Treworgy talked him
into doing body work
and paint on a 1967
Corvette, which turned
out to be the first Vette
in his collection. It still
looks good and is on
display at the new
Muscle Car City
Museum in Punta
Gorda. You guessed it,
this rekindled the


desire to own a special
vehicle again: a 1978 El
Camino, in which a
"454" with a turbo 400
tranny, very quality
paint job and lots of
detail items resulted in
its being a show winner
twice in its class at
Super Chevy Shows,
even getting a photo in
a magazine.
The time had come to
move on to getting an
auto he really wanted, a
1962 Chevrolet Impala.
Thus the El Camino
was taken to a "Turkey
Run" event at Daytona
Raceway and sold. A
friend who bought and
sold cars found the car
that appears in today's
column. One thing led
to another and a full
restoration took place,
plus much more, as
described in the
paragraph at the start
of today's column.
B&R Color is still
going strong in
Whidden Industrial
Park, along with their
other successful
business Glass
Doctor. Kathy runs B&R
while Rich oversees the
glass operation. They
have many employees,
but I only met Hal,
Larry, Brian and Wayne.
I believe it's safe to say
their paint products are


on at least 95 percent
of all cars, trucks and
motorcycles that have
been repaired or
customized from Fort
Myers up past North
Port. This couple also
owns a 1967 M.G.B.
roadster he restored,
and now is rebuilding a
rare 1953 Ferguson
Tractor. You can see
this red Chevy
tomorrow during the
grand opening show of
the Muscle Car City
Museum in Punt Gorda.
This will be the place to
be if you are interested
in the old car hobby.

call 941-575-5959.
