PROJECTS EDITOR


The good guys won in Venice |'
this week.
The Venice Police Depart-
ment held a press conference at
1 p.m. Tuesday to announce the
arrest of three suspects in con- Rose
nection with the TJ. Maxx rob-
bery on Nov. 17.
Joshua Michael Rose, 19, Mathew
Scott Graffin, 19, James Paul Rogers
Jr., 21, all live in the 200 block of
South River Blvd. in Nokomis.
Rose, Graffin and Rogers were
each charged with three counts of
armed kidnapping with intent to
commit or facilitate a felony and rob-
bery with a firearm or deadly
weapon. They received no bond.
Graffin and Rose were employees
at T.J. Maxx. Graffin let the other two
men into the store the night of the
incident.
He has worked at T.J. Maxx for
three years and has relatives who
work there also. Rose had only

as usual in the days following the
incident.
Of the three, it was Graffin who
police interviewed first and he told
them how it all went down. Rose and
Rogers are not cooperating.
Graffin has no prior criminal
record. Rose has a minor theft charge
and Rogers has a minor possession
charge.
Now the three could face 10 to 20
years to life depending on what the
state attorney decides, detectives

Man shot after killing wife


BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH
STAFF WRITER

Upset over potentially los-
ing his home in a divorce, a 69-
year-old North Port man went
to the Robert L. Anderson
Administration Center in
South Venice late Monday
afternoon and shot his
estranged wife in the back of
the head.
He fired five shots, hitting
her twice. The handgun he
used, a Glock .45 caliber, has
not yet been recovered.
Carolyn Provencal, also 69,
died at the scene, according to
the Sarasota County Sheriff's
Office. North Port police were
alerted by the SCSO that the
man would likely be on the
way back to his North Port
home at 4211 S. Salford Blvd.
At 4:45 p.m., North Port
police officers swarmed the
man's home. An officer yelled
into a megaphone for "Alan" to
come out. Another yelled for
him to "Drop the gun."
Seconds later, about six shots
rang out.
More officers arrived and
ran to the back of the house
with guns. Alan Provencal was
dead. According to SCSO offi-
cials, he was shot twice outside
his back porch by North Port
police officer William Carter
after he raised a .25 caliber
handgun toward two other
officers.
'Bad shape'
As the first armed officers
ran toward the back of Alan's
home, his neighbor, Sheila
Seekford, stood in her drive-
way screaming at them, plead-
ing with them not to shoot her
neighbor. She yelled that she
could get him to come out of
the house without hurting
anyone. She ran to her back
yard after the shots were fired.
"Alan looked at me," she
said. "He had blood coming
from his chest."
Seekford returned to her
driveway to wait for the ambu-
lance. She was horrified as an
empty stretcher and para-

A North Port police officer provides cover for three officers running to the back of Alan Provencal's North

South Venice a short time earlier, was shot by an officer after he raised a gun toward two other officers.


medics left.
Just after Alan was shot, a
man parked his car at the end
of a nearby house, blocking
two school buses and several
pedestrians from the area even
before police could block off
the scene with crime-scene
tape.
Seekford said Alan was in
"bad shape" and "depressed
for the past year" since he and
his wife separated.
"She left him on the day
before their 25th anniversary,"
Seekford said. "She left him for
his best friend. He hasn't been
the same since."
'Over his dead body'
Seekford said Alan recently
told her he didn't believe a
judge's ruling was fair toward
him. The couple were alleged-
ly fighting over belongings,
including some of Alan's vin-
tage cars and the South
Salford home, which accord-
ing to Sarasota County prop-
erty records is valued at
$107,300.
There are about 200 pages
of court documents relating to
the couple's divorce proceed-
ings. Alan gave his share of
ownership in the home to his

son Joseph in May 2008,
records show.
"Alan was in court and had a
stroke, he was paralyzed on
(one side)," Seekford said. "He
wasn't in good health."
According to court records,
Carolyn filed a lawsuit against
Alan on Nov. 4. Alan was
served his summons for the
lawsuit last Wednesday. She
had an appointment at the
South County courthouse
Monday.
"He (Alan) said they would
have to take his house over his
dead body before he let it go to
her," Seekford said. "He want-
ed his three (adult) children to
get the house. They didn't have
any children together."
Seekford called Provencal's
son in South Carolina to talk to
him after the shooting.
Old cars
Just before Carolyn was shot
in Venice, an unidentified wit-
ness ran into the courthouse
and said there was a man with
a gun. A few seconds later, at
3:39 p.m., shots were fired and
the man drove off. Two heli-


copters were searching the
area of the courthouse when
North Port officers were noti-
fied.
According to court records,
the Provencals started divorce
proceedings in June 2008. The
case was being heard at the
courthouse at the Robert L.
Anderson Administration
Center, 4000 South Tamiami
Trail, which also serves as an
annex for the offices of the
property appraiser, tax collec-
tor and driver license bureau.
Seekford said she planned
on inviting Alan over for
Thanksgiving dinner because
she didn't want him to be
alone.
"He was a good man and
would not have hurt any of the
officers," she said. "He couldn't
run away from them because
he was partially paralyzed. His
speech wasn't so good because
of his stroke. He helped my
kids. He loved working on his
old cars. That was all he had
left."

Family, friends warned of domestic fallout


Carolyn Provencal's son-in-law sent an
e-mail warning of her estranged husband's


irrational behavior.
BY ELAINE ALLEN-
EMRICH
STAFF WRITER

An e-mail sent to an
attorney Friday by a fam-
ily member of Carolyn
Provencal warned that
her estranged husband
was "acting irrational,
owned a gun and was
capable of harming her."
Three days later, the 69-
year-old Venice woman
was gunned down in pub-
lic by Alan Provencal.
Despite warnings from
Carolyn's attorney Bar-
bara Whitmore, Carolyn's
daughter Lisa, her son-in-
law and friends, Carolyn
simply didn't think Alan,
also 69, was violent
enough to physically
hurt her.
Carolyn's son-in-law,
Jim Hogaboom, sent an
e-mail to Whitmore on
Friday explaining that
Alan owned a gun. He
didn't seem like himself,
and Jim feared for
Carolyn's, Lisa's and his
own safety.
"I invited her to move
into my house last
weekend," Whitmore
said Tuesday. "The man
(Alan) wasn't behaving
rationally."
But Carolyn refused
the request and promised
to "watch her back."
"(Alan) was nasty to
her," Jim said. "He was
following her. The judge
told him to stay away
from her."
On Monday, as
Carolyn was going to a
court hearing for her
divorce proceeding, Alan
came up behind her with
a Glock .45-caliber hand-
gun in the parking lot of
the Robert L. Anderson
Administration Center in
South Venice and fired
five shots. Carolyn was
hit twice in the head and
died at the scene.
"He was wearing a dis-
guise," Jim said. "I tried to
tell her (Carolyn) to

change her routine. She
was very predictable. She
parked in the same place
at the courthouse every
time. We are creatures
of habit, but when your
safety is at stake, you
have to look out for
yourself."
After Alan shot
Carolyn, he fled south in
his pickup to his 4211 S.
Salford Blvd. home in
North Port. Several offi-
cers followed him, sur-
rounding his detached
two-car garage where he
parked his truck and
closed the door. Over a
megaphone, an officer
ordered him out.
According to neighbor
Marshall Grove, who wit-
nessed the shooting from
his backyard porch, Alan
walked out the back door
of the garage. He had a
gun in his hand and held
it near his shoulder as
officers approached.
"It didn't look like he


LI


pointed the gun at the
officer, but he had it in
his hand and it wasn't at
his side," Grove said
Tuesday, adding he and
his neighbor heard sever-
al gunshots in the woods
near his home at about
10:30 a.m. Monday.
According to Wendy
Rose, spokeswoman for
the Sarasota County
Sheriff's Office, which is
investigating the inci-
dent, "the initial investi-
gation indicates the sus-
pect raised his .25-cal-
iber IntaTech handgun at
two officers on scene.
North Port Police Officer
William Carter, who was
standing behind Alan,
fired three rounds from
his M4 rifle.
Two fatal shots struck
Alan's chest.
"He was slumped
over," Grove said. "The
police put him on the
ground. His body was
not covered or removed
for hours while the scene
was investigated."
On Tuesday, firefight-
ers went to the home and


sprayed the blood off
the side of the garage.
Meanwhile, SCSO crime
scene investigators gath-
ered evidence. The Glock
Alan used to shoot
Carolyn has not been
recovered, according to
Rose.
Grove said Carter was
visibly shaken.
Carter, 41, a seven-year
veteran with the NPPD,
was placed on paid
administrative leave,
which is standard proce-
dure when an officer is
involved in a shooting.
"Within 24 hours of an
officer-involved shoot-
ing, the officer receives
debriefing," said Capt.
Kevin Vespia. "We get
them the help they may
need after an incident
like this happens."
The SCSO is conduct-
ing the shooting investi-
gation regarding the jus-
tification of Carter's use
of deadly force. At its
completion, the report
will be forwarded to the
State Attorney's Office
and North Port Police


Chief Terry Lewis.
"They will incorpo-
rate our report into their
administrative investi-
gation and determine
whether action should
be taken against the
officer," Rose said.
Vespia said Alan was
considered armed and
dangerous after reports
that he shot his wife. He
said state statutes allow
officers to draw their
weapons and respond
with deadly force if a sus-
pect is considered armed
and dangerous.
About 200 pages of
court records show Alan
and Carolyn had been
embattled in divorce
proceedings for a year.
Friends of Alan said
despite being the kind of
friend who would give
the shirt off of his back,
he was "hell bent" about
not letting go of his situa-
tion with Carolyn.
The couple allegedly
were fighting over belong-
ings, including some of
Alan's vintage cars and
the South Salford home,


which was appraised in
February at $96,000.
"He felt cheated," said
Tom Cottrell, a seven-
year friend of Alan's who
shared his passion for
hot rods. "He didn't want
her to take his money. It
was a strained marriage
for many years."
According to Jim, Alan
paid $20,000 of the more
than $90,000 he owed
Carolyn in the divorce.
"He was in contempt
of court for the past five
months," Jim said.
"She wanted one half
of the assets acquired (in
the marriage)," Whitmore
said. "He refused to give it
to her. After (a) full day of
trial, he took money out
of the bank and refused
to give it to her."
While friends of Alan
gathered Tuesday, wait-
ing for his oldest son, Joe,
42, to travel to Florida
from South Carolina,
Carolyn's family planned
a memorial service for
her next week. Carolyn
wanted to be cremated,
family members said.

Florida Shores Bank HQ set to open


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

With all the dismal bank-
ing news in recent months, it
is encouraging to report on
the success of the Florida
Shores Bank, 500 North U.S.
41 Bypass, opening its presti-
gious new $4 million head-
quarters on Dec. 7.
Founded by Jim Kuhlman,
president and CEO, two years
ago, it has grown and is now
the only community bank in
Venice.
Groundbreaking for the
splendid northern Italian
Mediterranean offices took
place in the spring, and local
contractors have completed
the 11,668-square-foot build-
ing in nine months. An offi-
cial groundbreaking is being
planned for January.
"We will have room for
growth and probably fill it in
two years," he said, anticipat-
ing adding to the 28 employees
on staff.


Florida Shores Bank has
offices in Englewood and Fort
Myers. It is affiliated with the
private equity group Smith
Associates.
"We have our own local
board of directors," said
Kuhlman, who launched the
bank with $20 million after
raising $8 million from 147
local shareholders. His plan is
to build the bank's assets to
$200 million in early 2010.
Strengthening the group's
position are Florida Shores
Bank Southeast in Pompano
Beach, and Florida Shores
Bank Naples, which are fortify-
ing their position by acquiring
Shamrock Bank. Next year
Kuhlman will sell the Fort
Myers office to the Naples affil-
iate as it does not fit into this
community, and his expansion
plan is aimed toward the
Orlando area.
Growth in Venice is not nec-
essarily from the economy
improving, but from gaining
customers as other banks have


shrunk. He said there were too
many banks chasing too few
really good deals, causing the
problems that exist today.
"Rates are similar, but cus-
tomers bring in cash for CDs,

Positive signs of recession's end

Bradway gets island


business-centered


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

When the going gets tough,
the tough get going. That
describes Richard and Linda
Bradway's latest entrepreneur-
ial business project, The Venice
Island Business Center, 230
South Tamiami Trail.
With the recession affecting
the real estate business,
Richard Bradway & Associates
became part of the very suc-
cessful Signature Sotheby's
International Realty. It was a
good move, but he also decid-
ed to create a small business
center on the island.
He already owned and used
the front rooms of the build-
ing, originally Bowden's gro-
cery store in the 1960s. In May
the Bradways bought out a
partner, acquiring the remain-
der of the 6,419-square-foot
building.
Estimating that there is
more than 100,000 square feet
of commercial space vacant in
Venice, he said, "I had to have
something because I knew I
could not just sit."
Seeing an opportunity, he
offered small businesses a
central location on the island
with all-inclusive structured
monthly fees incorporating
rent, taxes and other expenses.
The important factor, said


Bradway, is to make it different
so it works for the people who
need a small space centrally
located downtown. The build-
ing is divided into three sectors
and within each are individual
businesses. He has provided a
common conference area
together with a kitchen.
The front is occupied by
Signature Sotheby's, Bradway's
office and Marjorie Sager
Realty. Centrally located are
Secure Investment Solutions
for retirement and Indigo
Swimming Pools & Spa. The
rear encompasses TSW Gen-
eral Construction Services,
Hodges & Associates Real
Estate Appraisals & Inspec-
tions, Thomas Liber Com-
mercial Debt Restructure and
Rossi & Co. Residential Rental.
Bradway filled the building
with tenants even though he
will not put in two businesses
in any category, insurance,
builder or finance.
He believes a secret of his
success is having spent his
whole working career in
Venice, except for four years
in the service. His family
moved from Indiana to
Venice when he was 9 years
old, and he met his future
wife when they attended
Venice High School.

There are options to discuss

closure. An adviser is Brian
Meurs of Re/Max Alliance
Group, 1314 E. Venice Ave.,
who has recently completed
training to earn the prestigious
Certified Distressed Property
Expert designation.
"Short sales allow the cash-
strapped seller to repay the
mortgage at the price the
home sells for, even though it
is lower than what is owed on
the property," said Meurs. With
plummeting property values,
this can save people from fore-
closure and even bankruptcy.

incident is due to four
factors," Williams said.
"The excellent team-
work and collaboration
between the VPD and the
SCSO. Without the sup-
port of Sheriff Tom
Knight and his staff, this
case could not have been
solved," Williams said.
"The willingness of
Venice citizens to contact
VPD and share things
they saw or heard.
Citizens have taken a
stand against criminals
and sent a clear message
that they will not tolerate
their outrageous con-
duct in Venice."
"The diligence of
VPD Lt. Ron Solanes, Sgt.
Ron Perisho, Detective
Aleks Gregoire, Detective
Andy Leisenring and
Sheriff's Office Detective
Juric Szalbirak and other
investigators in following
the leads and connecting
the dots."
"Those members of
the media who have
worked with us to focus

could save the city mil-
lions if it doesn't have to
remove any buildings or
portions of the Lake
Venice Golf Club from
various safety zones. The
FAA has expanded safety
zones over the years and
provided waivers in
many instances to make
up for it.
FAA officials showed
some interest upon
learning city officials
were looking at a "hybrid
alternative" that would
establish one runway as a
"C" for jets and other air-
craft, and the other as a
"B."
"They lightened up a
bit" when they heard
about the hybrid,
Mastropieri said. "The
whole tone of the meet-
ing changed when we
brought that forward."
The compromise may
have indicated to FAA
officials the city was soft-
ening its position, but at
least some city officials
came away with the
opposite reading that
FAA officials are begin-
ning to see the merits of


on the facts and who
have endeavored to
assist us in solving this
case." Williams thanked
the media and said VPD
values its partnership
with the media to keep
Venice safe.
Case solved
On Nov. 17, about 9:30
p.m. police were called to
the T.J. Maxx store in
Sweetbay Plaza inVenice.
Graffin, who was
working at the time,
stood at the front door
appearing to wait for the
last two customers to
leave so he could lockup.
Instead, law enforce-
ment officials said, he
held the doors open for
his partners in crime.
At the time the officers
responded, it was
believed to be a hostage
situation. It wasn't until
the SCSO SWAT team
conducted a thorough
search of the building
that they realized the
suspects had already fled
the scene.
Rogers and Rose went


designating Venice
Airport as a B-II.
Perhaps bolstered by a
recent visit to Venice by
congressional investiga-
tors who are looking into
FAA policies, Mayor Ed
Martin, Vice Mayor Sue
Lang and Council
Member John Moore
staunchly defended new
operations (landings and
takeoffs) counts they say
unequivocally merit a B-
II airport designation.
"I think they are going
to have a lot to explain in
(Washington) D.C." for
insisting the city meet
safety standards "that
will cost millions of dol-
lars," Lang said.
"This is going to cost
millions to resolve one
way or another," Moore
added.
Concerned about
'nothing'
Martin, who said the
C-II ARC established in
2000 was a mistake, per-
suaded other council
members to allow DY
Consultants to present
its operations count data


through the front door
dressed in dark clothing
and Darth Vader masks,
brandishing guns and
ordering employees and
customers to the floor.
Witness statements
and the store surveil-
lance tapes confirmed it
was Rose who immedi-
ately jumped over three
rows of carts and a door
to detain and control the
victims behind the regis-
ters. Waving a gun, he
ordered them to the floor
and bound their hands
with black zip-ties, leav-
ing them face down on
the floor.
Some employees,
however, didn't cooper-
ate and ran through the
store. Rogers ran toward
the southeast comer of
the store, brandishing his
gun while chasing the
fleeing victims. One
employee escaped out a
rear door and ran to
Sweetbay for help. That
triggered the door alarm
and foiled the robbers'
plan, forcing them to
communicate verbally


to FAA officials as a pre-
liminary step hopefully
leading up to a formal
request to designate the
airport as a B-II.
"My hunch is if we
continue to talk about
this they might" see
things our way, Martin
said. "We've just barely
opened the door to them
thinking about this."
It went against the
consultants' recommen-
dation, which was to for-
mally present both alter-
natives to the FAA to save
time and money.
"I'd hate to see you
come out of this with
nothing," Mastropieri
warned.
Other council mem-
bers voiced their con-
cerns.
"It seems clear the FAA
doesn't want to hear
about B-II," said Council
Member Ernie
Zavodnyik. Kit McKeon
aired similar reserva-
tions.
"I think this is a clear
message," said Council
Member Emilio Carles-

on an escape plan.
Because of the confu-
sion caused by fleeing
employees and the
alarm, the suspects did-
n't get away with any
property or money.
Plan 1
As a result of facts col-
lected during the investi-
gation, detectives early
on felt that the crime was
an inside job.
On Nov. 19, two wit-
nesses spoke with offi-
cers. The first witness
provided information
that directly matched
information provided by
an anonymous tip. The
witness said the vehicle
used was a 1989
Chevrolet Blazer 4 x 4,
with Pennsylvania
license plate HJE9502,
that the suspects lived
together and that two of
them worked for T.J.
Maxx.
The second witness
said that both witnesses
had gone to the home of
the three suspects after
the robbery to purchase


tive is preferred by the
FAA and "cuts through
many of the issues."
High stakes
The controversy over
the airport code has
gained even greater sig-
nificance in light of new
cost estimates presented
by DY Consultants.
If the city manages to
persuade the FAA to des-
ignate the airport a B-II,
there is virtually no cost
because safety zones
would be brought back
onto existing airport
property.
DY Consultants said
the hybrid plan to
rebuild runway 4-22 to a
"C" (current) standard,


a firearm for a friend. The
witness mentioned the
robbery at T.J. Maxx.
During this time, Rose
was showing the witness
some firearms and made
a spontaneous state-
ment about wanting to
trade two shotguns for
two handguns with grips
"because we can't be rob-
bing anybody with toy
guns."
Shortly thereafter,
Rose said that "plan 1 did
not work and it was time
to go to plan 2." The wit-
nesses also observed that
Rose and Rogers had
access to large amounts
of ammunition and
firearms, which were
kept inside Rose's bed-
room closet.
Graffin told detectives
the purpose of the rob-
bery was to get money
for rent and identified
Rose and Rogers as his
accomplices. The infor-
mation Graffin provided
matched the physical
evidence.
Solanes and Gregoire
said that when they


and designate runway
13-31 as a "B" could run
$10 million, though the
FAA would pay for much
of it. The FAA announced
the hybrid plan would
require building a new
$2.5 million taxiway par-
allel to runway 4-22 on
top of $5.1 million to
rehabilitate it and $2 mil-
lion to $4 million to
address impacts on the
golf course.
There are other
unknown costs, like
compensating Venice
Golf Association, which
holds the lease, if the golf
course has to be closed
temporarily.
What is the fiscal
impact on the city if the

interviewed Graffin on
the night of the crime, he
behaved as a victim and
appeared to be shaken
by the incident. However,
his wrists had not been
restrained.
Detectives believe the
suspects were only in the
store for a couple of min-
utes.
VPD Capt. Tom
McNulty said T.J. Maxx's
security team cooperat-
ed with the investigation.
"They were fully sup-
portive and helped us,"
he said. "They have set
up services for the
employees as well."
But it was when citi-
zens responded that the
case really came togeth-
er.
"It was when citizen
informants talked that
we knew we were going
to solve this case,"
Solanes said.
The investigation con-
tinues, but police do not
believe anyone else is
involved.

Officials restated their
position last week that
the city could lose all FAA
funding if that happens.
More than $20 million in
future projects are
planned, but some of
those projects might not

OUR VIEW


If you can't beat 'em, then sue 'em


F resh off a high-profile victory in
the Venice e-mail case, local cit-
izen watchdogs have turned
their sights to Sarasota County gov-
ernment, looking to scuttle a deal that
brings the Baltimore Orioles to
Sarasota for spring training baseball.
Groups called Citizens for Sun-
shine and Citizens for Responsible
Government are claiming that county
commissioners and staff violated the
state's Sunshine Law during negotia-
tions with the Orioles. Represented by
Sarasota lawyer Andrea Mogensen,
who was also the lead attorney in the
Venice Sunshine Law case, they have
argued the contracts should be void-
ed because open-government laws
were broken.
The groups don't like the deal, and
they are using the law to undo public


policy decisions they oppose.
If nothing else, they will keep public
employees tied up in a web of expen-
sive legal work. The threatened law-
suits may cloud the renovations of Ed
Smith Stadium, something we think
will be a benefit to the community.
It's an unfortunate turn of affairs.
By all appearances, Sarasota
County officials and employees are
diligent about following open-gov-
ernment laws. Sarasota takes pride in
being open and careful about the
Sunshine Law, from the county com-
mission down to citizen advisory
boards.
Of course, we don't know what
we're missing. It's always possible
some sort of shenanigans takes place
outside of the public eye, in Sarasota
or any other government. It happens.


Sometimes it's purposeful and some-
times it's just plain sloppiness. And
when it comes to government negoti-
ations with private business, it's pos-
sible that expediency could get the
upper hand. In this case, there were
the added pressures of timing and
competition from Lee County, which
also was courting the Orioles.
The two groups have flooded the
county with requests for hundreds of
thousands of e-mails, which have
been provided. The groups have also
filed suit to get files that a consultant
said were "unrecoverable." It's the first
in what promises to be a long, nasty
process.
We have no idea what will come of
this, other than that a lot of money
will be spent on legal services. We do
know, however, that the Orioles nego-


tiation process was played out in pub-
lic, week after week, for many
months. There were plenty of oppor-
tunities for citizens and pro-baseball
and anti-baseball interest groups to
weigh in, through e-mails, phone
calls, letters and in public hearings.
The board itself was split; disagree-
ments, occasionally testy, were aired
in public.
Along the way, the press and the
public could see what was being
offered. The final contract was
explained in detail, in public, before a
final vote.
It's not surprising that groups
unhappy with an outcome will use
any means at their disposal to fight
decisions they don't like. That's the
way the legal system works. All the
same, it can be a little disappointing.


Off to a great start


BOB VEDDER
COLUMNIST


The preliminary plan for
the new Venice High School
has been unveiled. While we
only have been able to get a
footprint description of the
facility, it has a lot of elements
that should make it special.
It seems to have the feel of a
college. The view as you enter
on Indian Avenue will be over a
big green expanse that will
double as an activities space,
saving a few old oaks that are
now in that area. That lawn will
center on a two-story admin
building that will house guid-
ance, administration and
Rotary Futures.
Unlike the Riverview plan, it
will have more of a campus
feel and less of a prison look.
The buildings will stand alone
while there will be some
attractive fences that provide
important security.
There will be a new gym
toward the southeast corner
that will have lots of parking
accessible without going on
campus. At the opposite end,
in the northwest corner, will be
the performing arts hall, which
will also have its own parking,
all of it used by students and
faculty during the day.
The interior of the campus
seems to have a nice symme-
try. That and the rest of the
plan were designed with the
old Nolen Venice city plan in
mind, and the style of the new
buildings will be the Northern
Renaissance Italian motif. It
will be very environmentally
friendly, using half the energy
the current school uses while
providing a lot more services.
The architectural firm
SchenkelShultz has done more
than 50 high schools, so it
brings wonderful experience
to the project. It seems to have
thought of everything. The
way it has the phasing planned
will reduce the need for stu-
dents to be in portables during
transition.
This summer the large
parking area for student park-
ing and for the future gym will
be done. Then they can com-
mence building the one very
large building that will house
most of the classrooms on
campus. That will be where the
current gym, football parking
and some of the practice fields
lie. Thus students will be
studying in the current facili-
ties with little disruption.
Once that building is done
in 2011, the contractors will
tear down most of the current
classrooms, making room for
the new gym. The performing
arts hall will be among the last


buildings to be built, to be fin-
ished in 2014.
One thing that is a draw-
back to this layout the same
as it is now is one entrance
in and out. For performances
and sporting events it makes
exiting very slow.
A more important concern
is one I have for most schools
we build. The classroom
spaces are built to the number
of current students. The ancil-
lary spaces allow for more stu-
dents, which is OK, but the
classrooms are pretty much at
max capacity.
In VHS' case it is for 2,000
students. There have been
some projections that show
the student population going
down, but that has not been a
very accurate science as the
schools have predicted wrong
as much as they have been
right. A new school could lure
more students, meaning
portables until another build-
ing can be funded.
In the plan there is room for
another building for more
classrooms where the current
auditorium is. Yet it would not
surprise me to see portables in
the not-too-distant future, a
sad commentary on planning.
This happens way too often
and may be because of some
inane state building rule.
There will be a lot of tech-
nology and a design that will
accommodate the small learn-
ing communities that have
worked well on the Venice
campus and been one reason
for its low drop-out and high
graduation rates.
It is exciting that the con-
struction process is nearly
ready to begin.


By's Crack- I've always
had the sneaking suspicion
that when the first
Thanksgiving dinner ended,
one Indian pushed his plate
back, turned to the Indian
next to him and said, "It was
nice, but next year let's try
Chinese."

The auto manufacturers
have come out with a new kind
of car called a crossover, sort of
a cross between a sedan and
an SUV I just bought one from
one of our good advertising
partners, Cramer Toyota. It is
what we used to call a station
wagon.
Yep, I bought a station
wagon. They just don't want to
sound like the '60s, so it is

Burned up. People who burn garbage, twigs and leaves in their
back yards it's not the most environmentally friendly thing to
do now, when we can open our windows with the beautiful
weather. It's an inconsiderate thing to do to your neighbors.
You're not living out on a farm where you're a half-mile from your
neighbors. Your neighbors' windows are literally 20 feet from
yours. Have some consideration. Our commissioners should put
an ordinance into effect that says no backyard fires. The houses
in South Venice are too close to each other for this. It burns your
eyes, it burns your throat and nobody wants to smell it.
EDITOR'S NOTE: There are many restrictions on burning. Call your
fire department to see if any are being violated.


The opposite. I didn't par-
ticularly like anybody running
for council, but I had to vote
against Bennett and Koszarski.
Main reason was that Mayor
Martin and the council mem-
bers are doing a terrible job
and have wasted millions of
our taxpayers' dollars. Who-
ever the mayor likes, I dislike.
No tanks. This is in refer-
ence to the 7-Eleven store on
Venice Avenue near the
Wellfield. It went to file for a
permit to get new tanks
installed so it could put gas at
the station. The city of Venice,
with the great council mem-
bers we have, decided to say
that if it wanted to put new
tanks in, then it had to bring
the building up to the
Renaissance plan or whatever
the city of Venice deems neces-
sary for the building, when the
gas tanks have nothing to do
with it. Once again, we've got
the council members with
their heads so big they can
barely walk through door, and
we have problems nonstop
with things like this. Thanks for
voting them in.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Council has lit-
tle to do with the enforcement of
the architectural overlay district in
which the 7-Eleven is located. It
has been in place for years and
is triggered when a business is
built or undergoes substantial
renovations. It's primarily in the
jurisdiction of the planning com-
mission.
Clean-up time. OK, South
Venice. The snowbirds are
back. We need to get some of
these yards back in shape. I've
had good results with code


Let 'em

enforcement at 861-3280. You
are anonymous, and I've had
some really good luck cleaning
up some derelict properties
right next door to me and
across the street. Give it a try.
Forget them. I think it's
time that the city of Venice for-
get about those who want to
close the airport. The airport is
an important thing about the
city of Venice. Wouldn't it be
nice if we had a commuter
flight to Tampa and Sarasota
airports?
Incentive. The new health
bill includes a 5.4 percent tax
surcharge on taxpayers earn-
ing $500,000. But married tax-
payers could earn $1 million
before paying the surcharge.
Now that's cool. Single rich
folks can get up to $54,000 a
year from Uncle Sam for pick-


ing up a trophy mate. That's
the kind of legislation both
Democrats and Republicans
can support.
Bailing out. What is wrong
with a government that won't
give disabled veterans guide
dogs or service dogs when it's
giving billions of dollars to
banks and their executives?
I'm completely against what's
going on in our country today.
Bad air. The Venice airport
has been a topic of conversa-
tion, both good and bad, for
many, many years. Histor-
ically, most of the homes with-
in a few miles of the airport,
over in South Venice or down
Center Road or on the island,
were built years ago before the
jets were using the facility. Now
occasionally in the past year,
the jets would fly in for emer-
gency purposes only. That cer-
tainly was understandable.
Yes, the airport has been there
since World War II and was
always considered a user- and
neighborhood-friendly facility.
The jets and pollution have
made it less attractive of an
area for neighborhoods. The
fuels emitting by the jets are
the most serious problem fac-
ing everyone. They are toxic
and a danger to your health, a
fact well documented. The for-
mer mayor said he would
investigate the use of noise
and vapor barricades to pro-
tect the area. He was blowing
toxic fumes in your face. The
fumes are a danger to your
health.
Detour. If you are unwilling
to become an involuntary par-
ticipant in the local govern-
ment revenue enhancement
program on Center Road, per-
haps you should drive on
Shamrock or Hatchett Creek
Boulevard instead.
Who's paying? If the money
for the expansion of 1-75 in our
area came from Obama stimu-
lus package, why doesn't the
paper say so? I want answers.
Upset. I am very upset about
someone wishing me a Happy
Holiday. I believe the only holi-
day meant is Christmas and the
only salutation should be
Merry Christmas.
Merry, not happy. It's not
Happy Holidays, it's Merry
Christmas.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


Preparation was the key

Editor:
My husband and I want to commend Laurel
Nokomis School for helping ease our autistic son's
transition into first grade.
The new assistant principal, Mrs. Ndah, arranged a
meeting with Connor's new first-grade teacher, Mrs.
Tweed, and the autism behavior specialist, Mrs.
Gidus, prior to the start of school. We were able to dis-
cuss plans to help his education in a relaxed meeting,
instead of trying to fix problems after they had
occurred. Because of this, he has had a trouble-free
start to the school year.
In this time of budget cuts and depressed econo-
my, we especially appreciate that Laurel Nokomis
School goes above and beyond expectations.

Three months ago the
U.S. general on the

advised President Oba-
ma of the urgent need for
40,000 additional troops.
During this three-month
delay in response more
than 1,000 of our military
in Afghanistan have been
seriously wounded.
Apparently, the lives of
our young patriotic men
and women fighting in
Afghanistan are not as
important to our presi-
dent as his constant

- 11 months overdue.
The president's beer
party on the White House

Why was it necessary for
the president of the
United States of America

that should not have
gone beyond police

Obama was elected to

acting like a president,
not the front man for all
the powerful czars. We've
had enough of your

situation. Get some
backbone. Or are you too
committed to your army
of czars to ever make a
decision without their

The United States of
America has always been

need never apologize for

Dissent is American
Editor:
The letter from Alicia
Simmons was the joke of
the year.
The fact is, Ms.
Simmons, we are acting
like Americans, and free-
dom of speech is one of
our greatest assets. The
only ones in this country
who want the race card
played are the blacks and
the Dems. If you criticize
the president you're a
racist.
They want to jam
these bills down our
throats, and they say
accept it or you're not
patriotic. You can't get
any news about what's
going on unless you lis-
ten to Fox; all the other
media are in the Obama
tank.
Obama has spent $1.6
million on attorney's fees
to fight the suits against
him for his ineligibility to
the office of president.
Why does he do that


unless he's ineligible?
And if you say anything
about Obama not being
eligible, you're racist. It's
the Democrats who want
the focus on race, so they
can slip through some
shoddy, corrupt bill that
will bring this country to
the brink of insolvency.
Now our dear admin-
istration is threatening
the health insurance
companies for sending
out information to their
customers warning them
of services lost under this
so-called health-care
reform bill. This is not
Russia. Our government
cannot control us. This is
a free country.
To the Alicia Sim-
monses of this country I
say, wake up before you
destroy our country. In
the 2010 elections throw
out all who don't or won't
represent you.

EDITOR:
The Gondolier Sun's

overlooked the honor
bestowed upon Norm
MacLellan, commander
of American Legion No-
Vel Post 159.
MacLellan was
named Veteran of the

County Veterans Asso-
ciation.
His distinguished
military career, his out-
standing countywide
contributions to veter-
ans affairs, plus his lead-
ership as commander of

cited.
The least the Gon-
dolier Sun could do to
rectify this oversight
would be to produce a

i ~ Indians rally for win over Pirates

-BY PERRY D. PENTZ
N i, SPORTS EDITOR


MR. SHEEPSHEAD
COLUMNIST


Inshore fishing

good this week

Thanksgiving week is usu-
ally great for inshore fishing
in the Venice area. In past
years, schools of jacks in the
15- to 18-pound range would
invade the beaches this
week.
The best all-around lure
is a half- to three-quarter-
ounce silver spoon. Cast it to
the speeding jacks as they
push bait up on the beach.
My tackle was always too
light and I would fight one of
them for 15 to 20 minutes
and would tell parents to get
their kids out of the way.
Four-inch greenbacks
were airborne at the water's
edge. Your best bet is to walk
from the public beach to the
Venice Municipal Pier. You
will know they are around by
the hundreds of diving birds.
The other attraction is the
large schools of oversized
reds. They could be at the pier,
the jetty or even Caspersen
Beach. Remember, if they are
not in the 18- to 27-inch slot,
then release them. The creel
limit is one keeper.
There also could be huge
schools of Spanish mackerel
and bonita about a half-mile
to a mile from the end of the
pier. If the bait makes a run
for the beach, then we will
have great fishing.
We now need the weather
and wind to cooperate and
the fishing will be great.
Reports from the Port
Charlotte canals are that
sheepshead fishing has
been surprisingly great.
This is good news because
November is a very frustrat-
ing time to catch the
sheepies. Here's hoping the
fishing for sheepies is better
this season.
Well, fellow Sheepshead-
ites, the time has come to say
goodbye until next week.

Mr Sheepshead is Dave
Hack. Contact him at
486-1998, 321-8849 or

It took a while for Venice to
find the right match-ups
against Braden River but when
the Lady Indians did, they con-
trolled the Lady Pirates.
Scoring onslaughts at the
end of the second and third
quarters helped lift Venice over
Braden River, 52-37, on
Tuesday night at Venice High.
"I just think we didn't know
them so then as the game went
on we got our match-ups
right," said Venice coach Joe
Whelton. "We were always
searching for a combination of
players out there that would
work. We found some combi-
nations and just stayed with it
for a long time to get ourselves
a lead."
Braden River (0-2) jumped
out to a 5-0 lead over the first
two minutes but Venice even-
tually tied it at 5-5 before grab-
bing a 10-7 lead on a pull-up
jumper by sophomore Juliana
Cavallaro with 3:10 left in the
quarter.
The Lady Pirates hung
around and grabbed a 13-11
first-quarter lead thanks to the
scoring of Caitlyn Benedetto,
who scored nine of team-high
18 points in the quarter.
In the second quarter,
Braden River outscored Venice,
8-5 in the first five minutes to
take a 21-16 lead.
The Lady Indians (2-0) then
scored six straight points
including four by Laura
Hackett to end the quarter and
grab a 22-21 halftime lead.
"We needed to take care of
the ball and really pass it
around and work the offense
and not rush," said senior
Kirsten Walchle, who ended
with 12 points. "We needed to
slow down and play the game
we know how to play."
"We had to play 'D' without
fouling," said Whelton about
his second-half plans. "The first
half, we fouled too much and
they got to the foul line and
that was too their advantage.
We wanted to keep the game
going and wear them down. I
told them on the offensive end
we needed to relax and run our
stuff."
Venice maintained the
advantage and led, 28-17,
before holding the Lady Pirates
scoreless over the final 5:58 of
the third quarter. The offense
closed out the quarter by scor-
ing nine consecutive points to
pull ahead, 37-27.
"Our defense saved us
tonight," said Whelton.

Six ofVenice's 15 points were
scored by Walchle and sopho-
more Brooke Shipps.
"We just started stealing the
ball," said Walchle. "I got a
layup on steals and passes from
my teammates. We were setting
good screens finally."
"Kirsten had a very good
game," said Whelton. "She was
very important to us tonight."
Cavallaro scored nine of her
game-high 20 points in the
fourth quarter as Venice


grabbed a 50-32 cushion with
3:54 remaining.
In the junior varsity, Catie
Pinkerton and Ally Short
scored eight points each in

WRESTLING
VENICE CAPTURES DIAMOND DUALS: Venice used
three consecutive pins to rally for a 36-31 win over
Sarasota and capture the Dimond Duals on Saturday
at Bayshore High in Bradenton.
The Indians went 5-0 on the day with wins over
Palmetto (57-18), Bayshore (48-28), Riverview (72-
0) and Booker (72-5).
Against Sarasota, Venice trailed 31-18 before the
Indians picked up pins by Garrett Johnson (189
pounds), Robert Wahlrab (215) and Devin Balsinger
(285) to close out the match.
"The team surprised me with their fight and wres-
tled tough all day," said Venice coach Dan Kelly. "We
are young, but I feel we will improve as the year goes
on."
Going unbeaten in five matches for the Indians
were Matt Parker (103 pounds), Jeremy Ericson (125)
and Balsinger.
Ericson, a transfer and two-time state qualifier
from Maryland, got his 100th career win in the tour-
nament.
Seven Venice wrestlers went 4-1 on the day -
Justin Shaner (112), DJ Porvaznik (130), Colton
Schuchert (140), Jovanny Concepcion (145), Eric
Medel (171), Johnson and Wahlrab.
Venice's Frank Trigg (152) and Matt Frady (160)
combined for five wins.


The Indians will wrestle in the East Lake
Invitational on Dec. 4 and 5 in Tarpon Springs.

GIRLS BASKETBALL
VENICE OPENS WITH VICTORY: The Lady Indians
sank 25-of-27 free throws as Venice opened the sea-
son with a 58-29 win over Lemon Bay on Saturday
afternoon at Venice High.
"It's first game," said new Venice coach Joe
Whelton. "For a coach, the first game of the year is
gut-wrenching. You feel like you have less control
than any other game. A lot of nerves in the first
game."
The Lady Indians (1-0) led early 8-2 before the
Lady Manta Rays scored four straight points. Venice
got two 3-pointers from sophomore Juliana Cavallaro
to give Venice a 14-8 lead after one quarter.
Venice scored 12 of their 26 first-half points off
foul shots as the Lady Indians made 12-of-14 from
the line to pull out to a 26-14 lead.
"Much improved,"' said Whelton of the foul shoot-
ing. "We addressed the problem. Concentrated on foul
shooting and did a much better job. That is tremen-
dous. I saw it in practice."'
The Lady Indians battled foul trouble in the first
half after getting called for 15 fouls, with three starters
picking up three fouls.
In total, 27 fouls were called on both teams in the
first half.


"We are trying to be a good, aggressive man-to-
man defense;' said Whelton. "Last week, we had a
tournament in Sarasota where it was as physical as
can be. At halftime, we talked about how we have to
adjust to the officials. Last week, they allow banging
and this week not. The second half we did a lot better
job and were a lot smarter."
Venice could have led by more points but
turnovers were an issue as the Lady Indians had 19
turnovers in the first half.
The Lady Indians only had eight turnovers total in
the second half.
In the second half, sophomore Laura Hackett
scored six of Venice's first eight points in just over
five minutes to give the Lady Indians a 33-18
cushion.
Venice's defense, which forced 23 turnovers in the
first half and 38 total, limited Lemon Bay to single-
digit scoring in three of four quarters.
In the first two minutes of the fourth quarter,
Cavallaro, who led Venice with 18 points, scored eight
straight points to put the Lady Indians in front, 50-21.


In the second half, Venice hit all 13 of its foul
shots.
"We know it's a work in progress," Whelton said
"Now there is a lot to work on but we can definitely
address three or four things on Monday, and it will be
better by Tuesday"
Brooke Shipps scored in double figures for Venice
with 10 points. She also had six rebounds. Hackett
led Venice with seven rebounds.
In the junior varsity game, Ally Short had 10
points in Venice's 50-16 win.

POLICE BEAT


Fake officer


Andrew
Ashok
Bhatnagar
couldn't
k e e p
straight in
his mind
which
police
depart -


Bhatnagar


ment he worked for.
First, he said he was an
officer with the Venice
Police Department. Then
he said he worked for the
Sarasota Police Depart-
ment. He worked for nei-
ther.
Neither story fooled
the victim, since Bhat-
nagar was dressed only
in shorts and military-
style boots.
The victim was driving
on Shamrock Boulevard
when she noticed a white
car following close be-
hind her with its flashing
lights on. Believing it was
a police officer, she
pulled to the side of the
road and rolled down her
window.
What she saw walking
up to her car was a white
male with no shirt and
numerous tattoos. She
became frightened, rol-
led up the window and
drove her car the three-
fourths mile distance to
Domino's. She parked
the car and ran inside the
store with Bhatnagar hot
on her trail.
A witness at Domino's
saw what was happen-
ing, stopped Bhatnagar
from entering the store
and called 9-1-1.
The responding Sara-
sota County Sheriff's
deputy talked with


Bhatnagar, who ap-
peared to have been
drinking by the odor on
him and his demeanor,
according to the report.
Bhatnagar told the
deputy that he had been
driving on Shamrock
Boulevard near Center
Road when someone in
the area of Cambridge
Road threw a bottle at his
car. The deputy didn't
find any damage to
Bhatnagar's car to sup-
port his story. While he
offered no other details
of the incident, he did
admit to turning on his
flashing lights while he
was behind the victim's
car.
He said the victim was
speeding and he was try-
ing to stop her. He said it
was a stupid thing for
him to do.
During the interview,
Bhatnagar talked to the
deputy in a military style,
saying things like "yes,
sir" or negatoryy" or "I
have to use the latrine."
Even though the deputy
asked him not to talk that
way, he continued to use
that style of communica-
tion even after he was
booked into the South
County Jail.
The deputy started
Bhatnagar's car and
turned on the headlights
but could not activate the
flashing-light system.
Upon request, Bhatnagar
activated the flashing
lights and the deputy
realized why the victim
would think it was a
police officer behind her.
Bhatnagar, 23, of the
600 block Falls of Venice
Circle, Venice, was arrest-


ed and charged with
falsely impersonating an
officer. He also received
traffic citations in con-
nection with the inci-
dent. His bond was set at
$1,000.
Traffic fatality
Robert J. Woiak, 81, of
Osprey was driving his
2001 Chevy Truck north-
bound on Honore Ave-
nue in Sarasota when he
lost control and drifted
onto the East shoulder of
the avenue. The truck
entered private property
in the 5300 block of
Honore Avenue and hit a
fence and trees.
Woiak was pro-
nounced dead at the
scene. His passenger,
Sandra H. Woiak, 75, was
taken to Doctors Hospi-
tal, treated and released.

Flu down,

but not out

BY CAROL SAKOWITZ
STAFF WRITER

H1N1 flu indicators
appear to be trending r
downward, but Sarasota
County epidemiologist
Scott Pritchard is warn-
ing citizens not to
become complacent.
'A lot of H1N1 (swine
flu) is circulating in the
community," Pritchard
said Friday, adding that
he doesn't want the mes-
sage to be that every-
thing's OK.
Pritchard said even if
current health depart-
ment data indicate a
"purely seasonal level of
activity," it is still very
important to vaccinate
those people considered
at risk. They include
pregnant women, chil-
dren 6 months old to 24
years, and health-care
providers and parents of
children under 6 months
old.
Dianne Shipley, media
liaison for Sarasota
County Health and
Human Services, said
those in the 25-to-64- "
year age group who have
a chronic medical condi-
tion should consult their
physician regarding .
immunization.
Chuck Henry, incident
commander for the
county's H1N1 response,
said he anticipates the
school immunization
program to be completed
by Dec. 4. Middle, private
and charter school
immunizations were
expected to be complet-
ed by Friday afternoon,
he said. The program
started Friday at district
high schools, he said, and
colleges are next.
In all, 204,000 doses of
the vaccine are allocated
for Sarasota County,
Henry said. Approximately
54,000 doses already have
been received. Of those,
10,000 were planned for
Saturday's free vaccination
clinics in North Port and
Sarasota.
Shipley said a second
free clinic will be held,
but the date has not been
determined.

about H1N1 flu, go to the
county health depart-
ment Web site at

FOUR WINS IN A ROW!

ONE OF THE TOP 100 HOSPITALS
FOR CARDIOVASCULAR CARE


For the fourth consecutive year, Venice Regional Medical Center
has been named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals' for cardio-
vascular care by Thomson Reuters.

"We are so proud and honored to win this award for the fourth year
in a row," said Melody Trimble, CEO of VRMC."It says a lot about
our commitment to excellence as a hospital and the outstanding
performance of our employees and physicians. Our cardiovascular
surgeons and cardiologists are excellent, as noted by the fact that we
were one of only three hospitals in Florida to be recognized."

Venice Regional was the only hospital in Sarasota, Manatee
and Charlotte counties to make the list. The award winners were
announced November 16th in Modern Healthcare magazine.

The 100 Top Hospitals cardiovascular study is an exhaustive
process that objectively compares statistical data from 971 hospitals
by analyzing clinical outcomes for patients diagnosed with heart
failure and heart attacks and for those who received coronary bypass
surgery or other treatments such as angioplasties. The benchmarks
for the award are set extremely high and consider many factors of
patient care, surgical technique, costs and overall efficiency. The
standards are raised annually, making the hospitals work harder to
earn recognition from year to year.

Now in its 11th year, the study has found that the 100 Top
Hospitals cardiovascular winners deliver significant value to their
communities. Study results show that award-winning hospitals have:
* 17% lower mortality rates for heart attack patients
* 10% lower mortality rates for heart failure patients
* 27% lower mortality rates for bypass surgery patients
* 22% lower mortality following percutaneous coronary intervention

Telling the Difference:
Swine Flu Versus the
Common Cold

You are coughing, sneezing, achy
and feel just plain miserable all
over. How can you tell if you have a
common cold, a seasonal flu or the
swine flu?

Only a doctor can tell for
certain if you have the swine flu
or a seasonal variety. Because the
symptoms are similar, medical tests
such as a blood sample or throat
swab are needed to give a definite
diagnosis. According to experts
from the Centers for Disease
Control, there is little seasonal flu
currently circulating around the
country. Nearly all diagnosed flu
cases are confirmed as swine flu.

It is important to be able to
tell the difference between swine
flu and a regular cold. Again, the
symptoms can be similar but there
are important tell-tale differences.

Cold symptoms usually begin
with a sore throat, followed by
nasal congestion and runny nose.
In many cases, a hacking mucus-
producing cough will develop by
the fourth or fifth day. A slight fever
is possible but not common. Cold
symptoms usually last about a week
and are contagious during the first
three days.

Flu symptoms are generally more
severe than cold symptoms and can
come on quickly. Symptoms include
pronounced tiredness, body aches,
moderate to severe headaches, chills,
and a non-productive cough. Some
people report sore throat, nasal
congestion, nausea and diarrhea.
A fever above 1010 is one of the best
indicators of flu. Most symptoms
improve over two to five days but
may last a week or more.

If you believe that you have
contracted the swine flu, limit your
contact with other people as much
as possible. Avoid going to work
or school until you have recovered.
Contact your primary
.-' care physician for
testing and treatment
as needed.

Will the real Thanksgiving


I please stand up?

BY DON BLAIR
CORRESPONDENT

S\\h i i- bt 11 i.i h.is ian Irom other countries often know more about us than we do?
I I-i.. i, a cl,,,si' c.s,-, I point.
lB Iimh tiiu niliti .mni historian Godfrey Hodgson, author of nearly a dozen books about
.\m, AIik.in p I lik', .inm I hi iory, has given us a book entitled "'A Great and Godly Adventure:
The Pilgrims and the Myth of the First Thanksgiving."
__ Hodgson quickly endorses what many of us lovingly call
Turkey Day as probably our most beloved holiday ("a won-
derful private festival," he calls it) but quickly adds that
much of what we think we know about it is get this -
mythical, even down to the date itself. Hold on as we explain.
How easily we can all imagine a sumptuous table crowned
by a golden-brown, just-out-of-the-oven turkey covering
every square inch of a very large serving plate. Then there are
jall those delicious additions on plates up and down the din-
ing room table. That's where Hodgson's myths kick in.
Those hardy settlers in Plymouth, Mass., way back in 1621
(if that is indeed the correct date) were joined in that initial
gathering by a group of wary, but reasonably friendly, local
Indians the Wampanoags and their famed chief Massasoit.
Turkey?
Not!
As Hodgson hastens to point out, there were no such birds
in Eastern Massachusetts back then, and few, if any, in the rest
of that state and the situation hasn't changed that much
even today
Moving down the dining table, he also tells us: no sweet
potatoes, no cranberries, no pecan pie.
The sweet potato was a 19th century addition from our
American South. They had cranberries, but sugar was not brought to our shores for fully 50
years after the Mayflower, rendering the cranberry basically inedible until that time. The
pecan would also come under the heading of an import also quite a few years later.
Hodgson isn't done yet.
Citing the works of William Bradford, the colonists' greatest historian, he wrote that
that authority never mentioned Plymouth Rock. Is nothing sacred? Still another
writer of that era states that the famed rock probably came from an area at least 20
miles away from the Pilgrims (who did not call themselves that) and that it split in
half while in the process of being moved in 1774, adding that it was too big to have
been the best way to get to dry land and too small for a jetty.


The real menu
l\ now you may be asking, so what did they have for dinner anyway?
B11. k to Bradford, who writes confidently that the Wampanoags, playing the
(l 1, of good guests, went out and killed five deer, so that event featured
\i -nison as the main entree. They also contributed what they subsisted on
Snd what the colonists were still battling to raise in sufficient quantity
Sy-ven for their disease-ravaged numbers. That meant corn, beans and
,quash.
If by chance that venison ran short, it would have been augmented
by beaver and raccoon.
The so-called Pilgrims brought barrels of beer and an assortment of
liquors from England, and the continent and their new friends grew
very fond of the new refreshments.

THANKSGIVING from Page 1B


Can you picture the quaint log cab-
ins in that setting?
You'd be wrong again. They had
frame dwellings and no more than a
dozen or so of them.
The settlers landed the year before
in very wintry weather and within a
few months had lost half their original
number. They also brought with them
from across the Atlantic a number of
diseases to which the Indians had no
immunity, and those illnesses tore
through Indian ranks as well.
Hodgson writes that many of our
ancestors could find many reasons for
annual observances such as
Thanksgiving, and many of those relat-
ed directly to expressed and observed
gratitude for any number of successful
crops. They suffered through one
drought after another, so when nature
decided to favor them with badly
needed rain and good crops could be
harvested, time for another festival
was a natural reaction.
It was just such an abundance of
these that left Bradford and his histo-


ry-gathering peers and followers to
wonder just what festival was held on
what date.
Abraham Lincoln tried to instill sta-
bility into Thanksgiving when, in 1863,
he moved to pinpoint the date as the
last Thursday in November. But that
occasionally meant that it fell at the
very end of the month. This eventually
(actually right before World War II)
began to bother a host of American
merchants who complained that it had
come to "encroach on the production,
distribution and sale of holiday goods."
Christmas shopping season had
begun.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, never a
man to ignore the voice of the people
with war threatening across the globe,
got an earful from his commerce sec-
retary, Harry Hopkins, about that
issue. FDR wasted no time in making
the adjustment that exists to this day
- the fourth Thursday in November.
With a stroke of his pen he gave life to
Frantic Friday, that pent-up rush to
pack mall parking lots and get started
on those long Christmas lists.
But don't forget the turkey even if
the Pilgrims did.

Brand New Models, Brand New

Builder At Pennington Place
PROVIDED BY CENTEX


The Pembroke is one of three furnished models just opened at Pennington
Place where maintenance-free homes are available from the mid $150s


Residential choices
along Florida's Sun
Coast have just
become more exciting and
more affordable with the
introduction of three new
floor plans at Pennington
Place in Venice by D.R.
Horton, America's Builder.
Each home at Pennington
Place has been designed and
built with the focus on
quality and value that D.R.
Horton is known for, while
including livable floor plans,
energy efficient features, and
a comprehensive home
warranty.
Security and carefree
living comes with all three
Pennington Place one-story
floor plans, each of which
offers three bedrooms, two
baths and a two-car garage.
The Cambridge
encompasses 1,367 air-
conditioned square feet with
prices beginning at $158,
990. The split plan provides
privacy for each bedroom. At
1,554 air-conditioned square
feet, the Hamilton offers
slightly larger room
proportions and is priced
from $169,990. The kitchen
features a breakfast room,
plus an island with bar-top
dining, a double sink and
dishwasher. The Pembroke
is the largest plan with 1,804
air-conditioned square feet.
Adjacent to the kitchen are a
separate dining room and a
spacious great room. In
addition to a walk-in closet,
the master suite also has a


second wardrobe closet. The
Pembroke starts at $183,990.
Choose from two
architecturally designed front
elevations available with each
floor plan. Other included
exterior features are a 30-year
dimensional shingle roof, code
approved hurricane storm
panels, a paver driveway, entry
and walkway (per plan) and
Low-E insulated windows and
sliding glass doors.
At the heart of the home, the
kitchen includes a self-cleaning
oven, dishwasher, recessed
lights and laminate countertops
in a choice of colors with
backsplash. Luxury bathrooms
include ceramic tile flooring in a
choice of colors, full vanity
mirrors, laminate vanity
countertops in a choice of
colors, elongated commodes and
a tub shower in secondary baths
and a glass enclosed shower in
the master bath. Adding to the
spaciousness in all three
dwellings are 9-foot, 4-inch
volume ceilings in most rooms.
Views include lakes,
fountains and nature preserves
in this gated community. Living
at Pennington Place is virtually
maintenance free, leaving plenty
of time to relax and soak up the
sun. Located approximately two
miles from Manasota Beach,
residents at Pennington Place
are just minutes away from
relishing the gentle sea breezes
and watching stunning Gulf
sunsets. Charming Siesta Key,
Venice Beach and downtown
Venice are nearby. When the
urge to travel arises, Sarasota/


Bradenton International Airport
is just a short drive away while
Tampa International Airport and
Southwest Florida International
Airport are both within an hour
and a half in either direction
from Venice.
The financial strength of a
homebuilding company is an
important consideration,
especially in today's uncertain
economic environment. In the
over 30 years since D.R. Horton
was founded in 1978, they have
delivered more than 385,000
homes to their homebuyers.
D.R. Horton, Inc. is a publicly
traded company, listed on the
New York Stock Exchange under
the ticker DHI. For each of the
past seven years, they have
delivered more homes to their
customers than any other
homebuilder in the United States.
And, D.R. Horton goes the extra
measure, providing every buyer
with a ten-year RWC builders'
warranty.
Models are open daily
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday
through Thursday,
1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday; 10:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday;
and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
To visit Pennington Place,
take 1-75 to Jacaranda, Exit 195
and head West to 776. Turn left
onto 776 and travel to Manasota
Beach Road. At the traffic light
make a U-turn, then take the first
right into Pennington Place.

Office at (941) 496-7696 or go

Bronson urges food safety during the holidays


FROM FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE

With Thanksgiving
celebrations near, Florida
Agriculture and Consum-
er Services Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson
reminds people to follow
a few food safety tips to
avoid food-borne illness.
"With a little care,
nothing will mar the plea-
sure of the celebrations,"
Bronson said.
"But food safety mea-
sures are particularly
important, especially
with the variety of foods
being served, the number
of helpers in the kitchen
and the fact that food is
often left out for long peri-
ods of time after being
served."
An estimated 76 mil-
lion people contract food-
borne illness in the
United States each year,
and about 5,000 are fatal.
Young children, pregnant
women, the elderly and
those with compromised
immune systems are the
most vulnerable.
Here are some tips to
help reduce the chances
of contracting food-borne
illness:
* Clean and sanitize cook-
ing equipment.
* Wash your hands thor-
oughly with soap and
warm water before pre-
paring food and after con-
tact with raw meat, poul-
try, seafood and eggs.
* Keep raw foods away
from cooked foods to
avoid cross-contamina-
tion, and make sure that
raw meat juices never


come in contact with sal-
ads and vegetables.
* Defrost the turkey in the
refrigerator. If time is
short, it can be defrosted
under cold running water
in a matter of hours.
Never defrost the bird at
room temperature as
bacteria can rapidly grow
on raw meat at room


temperature.
* Keep cold foods cold
and hot foods hot, espe-
cially when serving buffet
style. Buffet servings
should be kept small and
replenished often.
* State and federal food
safety officials stress the
turkey should be cooked
to an internal tempera-

ture of at least 165 F, and
a food thermometer
should be used to verify
the temperature. Rather
than cooking stuffing
inside the bird, officials
suggest cooking it in a
separate pan because
there is no guarantee that
the stuffing will reach
165F at the same time as


S9I
/ .ikiill-ml e


the turkey.
* Carefully store leftovers.
Food should not be
allowed to sit out for more
than two hours after
coming out of the oven.
When ready to store, the
leftovers should be refrig-
erated promptly. Slice the
turkey before refrigerat-
ing as whole turkeys do


not store safely in the
refrigerator. Place left-
overs in shallow contain-
ers to speed up the cool-
ing process and prevent
bacterial growth.

College honor society

participates in green initiative


FROM STATE COLLEGE OF FLORIDA

The Alpha Mu Upsilon chapter of
the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at
State College of Florida Venice, has
participated in green service projects
this fall, complementing the col-
legewide sustainability initiative.
In October, Phi Theta Kappa mem-
bers partnered with Venice Main-
Street to canvass local businesses,
encouraging them to promote conser-
vation and sustainability. Forty-two
local businesses received placards to
display at their store after pledging to
adopt green practices to conserve
energy, water and other natural
resources.


Students suggested ways to con-
serve energy, including recycling,
complying with environmental regu-
lations, using electronic communica-
tions to preserve energy and encour-
aging vendors to use environmentally
friendly packing material.
Phi Theta Kappa members also vol-
unteered for a cleanup at Englewood
Beach as part of their own commit-
ment to keep the beaches clean and
protect the environment.
An international honor society for
two-year college students with a
grade-point average of 3.5 or more, Phi
Theta Kappa encourages members to
regularly engage in scholarship, lead-
ership and service activities.


Phi Theta Kappa members Taylor Meredith, left, Jodi Johnson, Hayley Durham, Brian
Miller, back, Kim Tomchinsky, Cathy Cornish and Daiana Lambrecht participated in
encouraging businesses on Venice's main street to implement green practices.

Ringling sparkles for the holidays


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR

Toys for Tots, holiday
concerts and Ca d'Zan
are the stuff of tradition.
It takes days to deco-
rate Ca d'Zan, the re-
stored winter home of
the late John and Mable
Ringling.
Volunteers hang hun-
dreds of hand-blown
glass ornaments on the
tree in the grand salon,
fashion holiday bouquets
and swag railings and
banisters with greenery,
indoors and outdoors.
All this holiday splen-
dor inspired the muse-
um's annual Toy for Tots
event on the grounds of
Ca d'Zan. Thursday, Dec.
3, from 6-9 p.m.. Enjoy
music and song by
groups from local
schools.
Admission is one un-
wrapped toy, or $10.
Food and beverages will

of toys filled nearly half of
the visitor center lobby.
At 7:30 p.m., there will
be a holiday concert by
Florida Voices in the
Historic Asolo Theater,
just off the visitor center
lobby. Tickets are $15 per
person for adults and $8
for students.
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.,
Thursday, Dec. 10, there
will be a courtyard con-
cert featuring big band
and swing sounds by The


Bay Band, directed by
Bob Edwards. Bring
chairs and blankets but
no coolers. Food and
beverages will be avail-
able for purchase. Tickets
are $10 per person for

FROM AMERICAN
CANCER SOCIETY

The American Cancer
Society announces the
date and location for the
fifth annual Cattle Barons'
Ball, an annual fundraiser
that has become a fixture
in the South County com-
munity.
The 2010 event will
take place on Saturday,
Feb. 27, at the Plantation
Golf & Country Club, 500
Rockley Blvd., Venice.
"Cattle Barons' Ball is
one of the most popular
and successful fundrais-
ers in our area, which
demonstrates how com-
mitted we all are to the
fight against cancer," said
Kelly Pickering, chair of
the 2010 event.
The 2010 version will
attempt to raise even
more money than last
year, a challenge Pickering
recognizes as difficult in
our troubled economy.

auction donors and atten-
dees that the need to raise
money to support cancer
research and patient ser-
vices is perhaps even
more important when
times are tough," she said.
Sponsors and donors
will find this year's value-
added enhancements
incentive to sign on early.
"And of course, our
guests that evening will be
pleased by the extras we're
planning for them too,"
she said. Those details will
be released later this year,
Pickering added.
Companies and orga-
nizations can participate
in this high-profile func-
tion as sponsors, auction
donors or ticket buyers.
Numerous opportunities
are available for sponsor-
ship, ranging from
$10,000 to just over
$1,000, but they are being
filled rapidly.
"Many of our sponsors

because they find the

The deadline for spon-
sor commitment is the
end of November, and
inquiries should be direct-
ed to Kathy Lehner at 493-
1000. Auction donations
must be received by the
end of the year, and the
contact is Sheryl Corgan
at 468-4328.

The 110 students of the gifted team, grades one to five, at Venice Elementary School, celebrated "Separatist Day" Nov. 19. The event was
started by second-grade gifted teacher Linda Trigg in 1996. "The people were not pilgrims; they were separatists,"'Trigg said.


Students celebrate Separatist Day


Parents of the gifted team at Venice Elementary School prepared a feast for all partici-
pants to eat during Separatist Day festivities. The food was served behind the school.


Heather Young, first-grade teacher of gifted
students at Venice Elementary School, her
husband, Troy, and their daughter, Emma,
portray Wampanoag Indians at the
Separatist Day event Nov. 19. The
Wampanoags taught the separatists how to
fish and grow corn after their first winter in
the new land when half of them died due to
starvation, Heather Young said.


Linda Trigg, second-grade teacher in the
VES gifted team, holds onto a gift basket
given in honor of her years of work
putting on the Separatist Day event and
her 40 years of teaching at VES. She will
retire at the end of the school year.


G.WIZ, it's Kids Day


FROM G.WIZ

What to do with the
kids when there's a no-
school day during the
week and there's no one
at home to supervise
them?
Bring them to Kids
Day at G.WIZ and feel
secure knowing that your
children are enjoying
a day of hands-on fun,
games, movies, art
and science exploration,
building contests, and
more.
"This program was
designed to satisfy a
child's constant quest to
explore the world, en-
gage in stimulating ad-
ventures, and utilize his
or her vivid imagination,"
said Aleks Spalvins, di-
rector of educational
programming at the
museum. "Parents can
rest assured knowing
their children are being
safely supervised and
creatively engaged. It's a
lot better and more
affordable than keep-





207-1 0


ing them at home with a
babysitter. The only
problem is that they'll
probably not want to
leave when you pick
them up at the end of the
day."
Kids Day at G.WIZ is
designed for children in
kindergarten through
fifth grade. The program
is 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and costs
$29 per day for G.WIZ
members and $39 per
day for nonmembers.
The fee includes all activ-
ities and a snack. To reg-
ister, call 309-4949, ext.
116, or e-mail camps@
gwiz.org.


In Sarasota County,
upcoming no-school
days include Jan. 18 and
19, Feb. 15, and March
26.
The museum also
offers a 2009 Winter
Break Camp program,
Dec. 21, 22, 23 and Dec.
28, 29 and 30.
The museum is locat-
ed in Sarasota's bayfront
cultural district at The
Blivas Science & Tech-
nology Center, 1001 Blvd.
of the Arts, Sarasota, Fla.
34236.

STIFF OR PAINFUL NECK


DR. DAN BUSCH, DR. ERENE ROMANSKI
CHIROPRACTOR
If you suffer from recurring
aches, pains, or stiffness in the neck that
last more than 24 hours, you should have
your neck examined and treated. When you
have a persistent pain in the neck area, it
may be caused by nerve irritations or
pinched nerves. It may also be the
symptom of early stages of joint or disc
degeneration. The neck or cervical area of
the spine contains the upper portion of the
spinal cord and eight pairs of spinal nerves.


These nerves are connected to almost
every part of your body. Misalignments in
the cervical area cannot only cause pain
and discomfort in the neck but in other
parts of the body as well.
Because of constant movement,
the neck is very susceptible to stress and
strains, especially if some vertebrae are out
of alignment. Through gentle manipulation
and other therapies your doctor
chiropractic can correct the misalignments
and bring welcome relief from pain and
discomfort.

Sweetpea lives up to


his name


FROM STATE COLLEGE OF
FLORIDA

State College of Florida,
Manatee-Sarasota will offer addi-
tional information sessions for the
new Bachelor of Science in
Nursing program. The new ses-

response to the increased interest
in the program.
The RN to B.S.N. program will
begin in January with the first two
cohorts of students at SCF
Bradenton and SCF Venice.
Students eligible for the RN to
B.S.N. program must have com-
pleted prerequisite courses and
have or obtain a Florida registered
nurse license.
Hourlong information sessions
are scheduled at the following
three campuses:
* 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, at
SCF Bradenton, 5840 W 26th St.,

Building 800.
* 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, at

SCF's baccalaureate nursing
program was developed in
response to the need from local
hospitals and healthcare providers
for highly educated nurses.
Designed to allow registered
nurses to complete their bache-
lor's degree locally in 15 months,
the program couples experience
with advanced nursing education,
preparing students for roles in
leadership, management, and
community and public health.

load a provisional application and
to learn more about eligibility.
Maps and directions are online at
scf.edu/maps.

Sweetpea is a beautiful orange neutered male, tiger kitty. He has a problem with urinary tract
stones, but as long as he is on his special food, it doesn't seem to be a problem. He would do
better in a home where he is an only cat, so he can't eat other cats' food. But he gets along with
other cats. Sweetpea lives up to his name; he's a sweet boy. He can be seen at PawZazz of Pets,
145 W. Dearborn St., Englewood. Or call Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary, 475-0636. Also
ask about becoming a foster home.

Cookbook proceeds feed the hungry


STAFF REPORT


'"A Taste of Heaven to
Benefit the Hungry"
feeds more than the
body; it also feeds the
soul.
Paula Caithness pro-
duced the book with the
help of family members
and friends out of her
desire to help feed the
hungry in the communi-


ty. Mark Caithness, her
husband, donated the
money to publish the
cookbook.
The book contains 200
recipes and would nor-
mally retail for $14.
However, Caithness gives
the book away for free
and asks recipients to
write a donation check in
any amount and mail it
to the Salvation Army.


A pre-addressed do-
nation envelope inside
the book helps the dona-
tion along.
"Your donation is on
the honor system be-
cause you take the enve-
lope home and follow
your heart as to how
much your donation will
be," Caithness said.
"Any amount is wel-
come. The more than 120


helpful hints in the cook-
book are worth the dona-
tion alone," she said.
Caithness added that
many children and
adults go to bed hungry.
"But we can make a dif-
ference in someone's life
today."
The cookbook is avail-
able at the following
locations:
* Caithness Construc-


tion, 2440 North lami-
ami Trail, Nokomis (two
blocks north of RV World


on U.S. 41);
* Pawprints Essentials,
1512 U.S. 41 Bypass,
Venice (Starbucks cen-
ter);
* The Island Gourmet,

Elementary students envision 'The Power of Peace'


BY AUDREY BLACKWELL
STAFF WRITER


By envisioning peace with colorful paint and
brushstrokes, several students came out winners in
the annual Lions Club Peace Poster Contest. So did
their schools.
Seven students from three schools Epiphany
Cathedral, Laurel Nokomis and Venice Middle -won
first, second and third places for their creative efforts.
Amanda Swalby took first place at Epiphany
Cathedral. At Laurel Nokomis School, Tess Ripper
won first, Monica Wagner won second and Lexie
Francois won third. And at Venice Middle School,
Louis Canas won first, Toni Terrizzi won second and
Kelsey Kazel won third.
All students received a certificate. The first-place
winners received $100; second-place winners
received $75, and third-place winners received $50.
Each school received $300 for art supplies, according
to Venice Lions Club member Siri Ekanayake.
Student entries became eligible for judging Nov.
15. The entries followed the contest theme of "The
Power of Peace." The schools' art teachers chose the
first-, second- and third-place winners and informed
the Venice Lions Club of the winners. Lions Club


Peace Poster Contest chair Ed Lynch recognized the
winners.
The first-place winning entries from the local con-
test will go on to the district level to compete with
other school districts. District first-place winners will
then compete at the state level. State first-place win-
ners will be judged nationally and, finally, those win-
ners will be judged in the international contest, and
24 winners will be chosen.
One international grand prize winner will receive a
trip to a special awards ceremony with the sponsor-
ing club president and two family members at Lions
Day with the United Nations. During the ceremony,
the winning artist will receive an engraved plaque and
a cash prize of $2,500.
Each of the remaining 23 merit award winners will
receive a cash award of $500 and a certificate of
achievement.
Throughout the world, students from about 200
countries participate in the contest. The contest was
designed to encourage young people to artistically
express their visions of peace.

FRAN VALENCIC

Two parties in two days
may seem like a bit much
for most people, but Leah
and David Sherman, own-
ers of Collector's Gallery
and Framery on Nokomis
Avenue in Venice, aren't most
people. Their parties brought
fun people together with fab-
ulous food and music to cele-
brate local artists and the
Venice Art Fest and unveil the
new MainStreet poster by


Joseph LaPierre, who passed
away this year.
Melody, Sarah and Jesse
LaPierre brought a quiet
elegance to the Friday cele-
bration. Melody unveiled
her late husband's poster
and told the story of son
Jesse being able to retrieve
the work from the comput-
er. It was a special gift
LaPierre left us.
Venice MainStreet Execu-
tive Director KC Quaretti-
Lee, Venice Mayor Ed Martin,
council members Kit McKeon
and Ernie Zavodnyik and
city manager Isaac Turner
were among those celebrat-
ing this special event.
Thursday's gala intro-
duced artists Jack and Mary
Jo Perkins, Arge, Maureen
Snyder and John and Suzie
Seerey-Lester.
Three cheers
Sister Maureen Byrne and
Drenna Rosenthal get a


bravo for coordinating the
student art show at the
Venice Art Fest. Three cheers
to everyone who helped
and to the Arts and Cultural
Alliance for its sponsorship
and roll-up-your-sleeves-
and-get-everything-hung
dedication.
Welcome to Venice
Charles Martin recently
moved to Venice from North
Manchester, Ind., and wants
to paint our town colorful. He
specializes in huge canvases
and murals. The last one he
painted in Indiana was 50
feet by 250 feet. Contact him
at 497-7860. His Web site is
under construction.
Two of our best
The special people of this
week are Leah and David
Sherman. This couple owns
and operates Collector's
Gallery and Framery on
Nokomis Avenue in Venice.


Ever since they came into
town, the Shermans hit the
ground running by hosting
wonderful receptions at their
store. They donate services
and merchandise to organi-
zations for fundraisers and
are active with several groups,
including the Venice Area
Historical Society. They serve
on boards and committees.
Whatever David and Leah
do, they do first class. They
promote local artists and are
always open to new ideas,
including framing for high
schoolers and their memora-
bilia. On top of it all, they are
two of the nicest people you
could meet.
David and Leah Sherman
are shop owners who make
Venice a great place to live.

Happy Thanksgiving. Each
of you is among my special
blessings.

Daring to dream

prevents nightmares
Still giggling Venice Theatre's productions
"November" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"
I hate to think what life would be like without live
theater, films, television, music, ballet, opera, dancing,
figure skating, sculpture, architecture, photography,
drawing, painting and everything else one considers
an art form.
Unemployment would increase in this area where the arts
employ more people than any other business or industry.
That would have a devastating impact on other businesses
but it is the effect on the quality of life that would hurt
the most.
Without art, we would likely live in plain huts. There
likely would not be such things as airplanes or submarines
because no one would be able to conceive of such things
let alone draw the plans for them.
So much for the likes of Leonardo daVinci. Instead of
making the contributions he did, backed by arts patrons,
his talents would have been lost to the world.
Even the sports world would have lost. Without
someone to dream and draw the plans, coliseums might
not have been built. Who would have fashioned the laurel
leaf victory wreaths?
As surely as families have branches that entwine
with the branches of other family trees, the arts impact life.
Food and drink keep us alive. Sports keep us fit.
Competition makes us work harder. The arts give us
everything else.
Don't just think about it. Donate to an arts organization
today for your own good.


JACKSON WINS
4 AMA'S
(AP) The King of Pop is
still winning awards and setting
records doing it.
But while Michael Jackson won a record
four posthumous awards, he couldn't beat
Taylor Swift for top honors at Sunday night's
American Music Awards.
The 19-year-old was named the year's
favorite artist, giving Jackson his only loss of
the night, and giving her five trophies in all.
Jackson's victories were among the
highlights of the evening, which also featured
an eye-popping performance by Lady Gaga,
a special award for Whitney Houston and
that jaw-dropping number from Lambert, who
traded in his "American Idol" image for sex,
leather and chains Sunday.

To get you in the mood for the holiday season,
Sunny 106 WJPT-FM has changed its format
to "The Christmas Station" though Dec. 27.
The station will feature holiday favorites including

Another way to get into the holiday spirit is
the annual tree lighting in Punta Gorda on Dec. 4.
The Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce will hold
their ceremony at 5:45 p.m. at Marion Avenue and
Taylor Streets.
The Downtown Merchants' Association will light
their tree at 7:30 p.m. at Olympia Avenue and

The Harbor Lady:

Punta Gorda's waterfront has evolved


BY BARBARA PIERCE
SUN CORRESPONDENT
Punta Gorda's waterfront has
evolved in an exciting new direc-
tion. Dinner cruises, lunch cruises,
evening cruises, weddings, special
parties:The Harbor Lady now departs
from Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda.
The 77-foot luxury yacht is the first to
offer full service dinner cruises in the
area. Dine with linen tablecloths, fine
china, gourmet food, and five star
service. And dolphins gliding alongside.
During the three-hour cruise, guests
cruise past attractive waterfront homes,
view dolphins, manatee, many species of
birds and other of wildlife, to the Cape
Haze peninsula.
"Dinner cruises have already become
popular," says Captain Gus White.
"People especially like that they can
really relax. They can sit down and be
waited on, not stand in line for a buffet."
White and his partner Michelle Schrank
are co-owners.
With a dinning area that seats 80, a
lounge with a full bar, an outside deck,
the Harbor Lady is becoming a popular
spot for area events. Total passenger
capacity is 149.
A wedding, the couple exchanging
vows as the sun set over the bow, was a
recent special event. The Conquistadors
will be celebrating their holiday party
onboard. KIX county night, with DJs
Todd and Bob, will be a monthly event.
"Corporate parties, bachelor parties; we
can do any kind of special event," says
Schrank. "Even add a dance floor."


There will be a special Thanksgiving
cruise.
White and Schrank teamed up with
Captain Ralph Allen, owner of the King
Fisher Fleet, to add the yacht to his Fleet.
Voted as best charters in Charlotte
County for years, Allen is pleased to now
offer a dinner cruise yacht. "People have
been asking about dinner cruises for
years; I've always sent them to Sarasota
or Fort Myers. I'm happy we can
offer it locally."

Santa Claus parades into Venice


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Venice loves its parades, espe-
cially its holiday parade. The
34th annual Venice Holiday
Parade is Saturday.
Beginning at noon that day, ardent
parade fans will be able to view
photos of all the past parades on a
large-screen TV in a tent in the
Venice Avenue median, opposite the
center of the 200 block of West Venice
Avenue. During December, the same
DVD will be played daily at the
Triangle Inn, home of the Venice
Archives and Area Historical Collec-
tion at 351 S. Nassau St.
Pre-parade festivities begin at
5 p.m. and will include the lighting of
the city's holiday tree in Centennial
Park between West Venice and West
Tampa avenues, west of North
Nokomis Avenue.
"This is the biggest parade ever,"
chairman Mike Gelarmino said. At
presstime for Let's Go, there were
more than 114 units, including several
musical groups.
Experienced parade goers will
begin staking out their favorite
viewing spots with chairs or blankets
as early as Friday, if not sooner.
As there is plenty of room along the
lengthy parade route, even late-
comers will find choice spots along
West Venice or South Nokomis
avenues. The parade travels from
Park Boulevard and Venice Avenue
east to Nokomis Avenue and then
South to Turin Street, which is just
past the Venice Art Center. Those
streets and several adjacent streets
will be closed to vehicular traffic
beginning at 3 p.m. and until after the
parade ends Saturday evening.
"At 5 p.m., the Pine View School
Chamber Orchestra will perform a
concert." co-chairman Sue Hebert
said. "That is new this year."
Remember that the parade is not
over until Santa Claus arrives in his
sleigh or, since it is Venice his
beach buggy, perhaps.

The Fest: A Gainesville

tradition for music maniacs


NICK MILANO
SUN CORRESPONDENT
F or Cam Taylor of No Idea Records,
The Fest isn't just a music festival,
it's a way of life. He's been involved
in organizing the annual Gainesville
festivities for years.
The bands, he said, "all come to town
and have the best weekend of their lives.
We have this giant hoopla and all hang
out. Its a great feeling seeing all of our
friends come to town."
For eight years, No Idea has been
working with friends and sponsors to put
on The Fest an annual three-day long
festival rooted in punk music, but
branching all the way into country,
ska and metal.
The Fest isn't quite like any other
music festival.
Fest weekend
officially begins at
noon on the Friday
preceding the
weekend usually
the last couple of
days in October or 0
early November-
with registration
and a Pabst Blue Fest attendees waited
Ribbon sponsored at the Holiday Inn.
pool party at the
Holiday Inn. This year the hotel and
pool were completely filled with Fest
attendees for the weekend. By 5 p.m. that
evening, the first shows of The Fest were
beginning.
Rather than being held at a fairgrounds
or in one large venue, bands performed
at 13 different stages all over downtown
Gainesville.
That means at virtually any time of the
day or night, The Fest was creating some
kind of racket.
The crowd that filled those venues was
as diverse as the bands who played to
them: Crust punks in studded jackets,
bike riding hipsters and the occasional
metalhead. College kids from the nearby
University of Florida and Santa Fe
Community College were also in the mix.
Literally hundreds of bands stormed
Gainesville to play The Fest. The final
count was more than 200, according to
Taylor.
The numbers were up from last year's
Fest: 60 more bands and three more
venues, bringing in an estimated
5,000 people.
With that many bands competing for an
audience, stage antics and plenty
of weirdness were the norm:

record shop was held at 6 a.m., com-
plete with low-budget pyrotechnics and
smoke bombs, which sent clouds
billowing out of the front door
after the crowd left the building.
Few in attendance at The Fest have
been in the punk and hardcore scene as
long as Kevin Seconds. As the vocalist
for 7 Seconds, he's seen the genre
evolve from the tiny shows he played as
a kid into a scene that now exists in
almost every city.
During The Fest, that scene ruled
Gainesville.
His band, 7 Seconds, was formed in
1979 after he and his brother (who took
up the name Steve Youth) met up with
two friends who loved high-speed punk
as much as they did. Within a year, they
were going anywhere
that would let
them play.
"We were horrible in
the beginning," he
said.
"But we toured
i. ou pretty non-stop from
'80 to about '96."
SUN PHOTO BY CALEB DEAN In that time, they
in line for registration made a name for
themselves in the
newly emerging hardcore scene. Along
with bands such as Minor Threat and
Youth of Today, 7 Seconds helped build a
community out of a musical genre -
creating a record label, organizing shows
and making friends (and fans) every-
where they went.
For Seconds, his time at The Fest was
proof that the community still exists.
His band performed on the
first night of The Fest to a crowd of a few
hundred. Though Seconds, now
48 years old, admits he can't put on the
same show he could in the '80s, its not
an issue he took too seriously during
their performance.
Throughout the eight years of
organizing The Fest, No Idea Records
has stayed true to its roots as an
independent record label, according to
Taylor.
"We don't have any corporate spon-
sors, which I'm really proud of," he said.
"You'll never see 'Taco Bell presents
The Fest' or anything like that."
No Idea spends about six months
preparing for each year's Fest, according
to Taylor. When the long-awaited Fest
weekend comes, however, those in
charge enjoy it just as much as
anyone else.

FLORIDA ROAD TRIP


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
key ingredient of the winter
holidays is ICE! At the Gaylord
Palms Resort in Orlando, 2
million pounds of ICE have been
hand-carved by 40 artisans from
Harbin, China, where ice carving is a
centuries-old tradition.
In Orlando, they work in a constant
9-degree setting to fashion lighted
street lamps, four slides, giant angels
and Santas, carolers, polar bears and
anything else they can imagine to
create "A Trip to the North Pole"-
this year's theme for the coolest
holiday show in Florida. Ice is trucked
in from Georgia. Some is clear. Some
is frosty. Some is colored. Now
completed and open to the public,
this 18,000-square-foot wonderland is
a not-to-be-missed attraction.
Visitors are outfitted in light blue
thermal coats that keep one snug
and warm in what might be the
world's largest freezer. Those who
prefer visiting in swim suits should go
on Dec. 5 at 8:30 a.m. to run through
the attraction and slide the slides to
become members of the Orlando
Polar Bears Club. After a warm-up
reception with coffee or cocoa, the
"polar bears" will be able to return in
warmer garb for a more leisurely
stroll. This is a fund-raiser for Special
Olympics Florida. The special ticket is
$21.99 plus tax.
With hotel room prices ranging
upward from $129 plus tax, the

At sunset, Gaylord Palms guests gather tor

Gaylord is a great place to stay while
enjoying holiday events at the nearby
theme parks. Season passholders to
Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and
other parks receive a free child's
ticket with each adult ticket pur-
chased on certain days.
ICE! is open daily and accessible
from the resort's convention center,
6000 West Osceola Parkway, Kissim-
mee. Tickets range from $9.99 to
$24.99. Also decorated in holiday
finery are the resort's three atriums.

Broadway series begins at

Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall


The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall begin its
Broadway series.


1 BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
t I amelot," one of
I ,the all-time great
Broadway musi-
cals, opens the Broadway show series
for this season at the Van Wezel
Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota.
With songs like "Camelot" and "How to
Handle a Woman" Richard Burton won
acclaim for his performance as King
Arthur when the show opened on


Broadway back in 1960 and Robert
Goulet became a star, for his perfor-
mance as Sir Lancelot. Dame Julie
Andrews' star had ascended a few years
earlier when she portrayed Eliza
Doolittle in "My Fair Lady."
The ageless story about King Arthur,
his arranged marriage, Knights of the
Round Table and chivalry will be per-
formed just once in Sarasota, at 7 p.m.,
Sunday, Nov. 29. Tickets are $40-$60 per
person and a limited number of "Smart


seats" will be sold for $10 per person.
Smart seats are located only in Row 29,
which is the last row of the theater.
Nov. 30, at 8 p.m. the Broadway show
series will continue with Irving Berlin's
"I Love a Piano."
"Avenue Q" will fill the hall with more
music and dancing Dec. 10-11.
The remaining shows in the series
include: "Defending the Caveman," Jan.
15; "The Wedding Singer," Jan. 24; "Girls
Night: The Musical," Feb. 1; "Hairspray,"


Feb. 9; "Mamma Mia," Feb. 23-28;
"Cirque Le Masque," March 14; "102
Years of Broadway," April 7; and
"Xanadu," April 20-21.
Series and single tickets may be
purchased at the Van Wezel box office,
777 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, by
phone at 941-953-3368 or by visiting
www.vanwezel.org. Dinner is available
prior to most shows at Michael's at the
Van Wezel. For reservations, call

Florida Studio Theatre increases staff


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
T he play's the thing at
Sarasota's Florida
Studio Theatre, which
recently hired Robert Warren to
oversee new play development, new
projects and institutional
development.
Developing new shows is important
to the FST program. Many shows
produced in the theater's Goldstein
Cabaret have been developed in-
house under the leadership of its
artistic director, Richard Hopkins
who, with associate director Kate
Alexander, and managing director
Rebecca Langford has guided the
growth of the theater for more than
30 years. During those years, the the
one-time touring company settled
into the 1926-era building which
originally housed the Sarasota
Woman's Club. Today known as the
Keating Theatre, the original building
gained two additional venues the
Goldstein Cabaret and, more
recently, the Gompertz Theatre.
Program development also
increased. FST offers educational
opportunities for children and adults
and an annual playwriting contest.
Alexander, who oversees FST


educational programs said that more
than 10,000 students go through the
theater's doors annually. Some attend
the new Kids Komedy Club,
Komedy 4 Kids by Kids, Perfor-
mances are each Saturday in the
Goldstein Cabaret. Tickets are $6,
including lunch.
Hopkins said he is looking for
Warren's assistance in expanding
programs while also developing new
ones that will increase the theater's
revenue stream. Part of the theater's
mission is to keep its offerings
affordable. As in most theaters, ticket
prices cover far less than the cost of
any given production. The balance is
made up from other revenue sources,
including grants.
Florida Studio Theatre is at 1241 N.
Palm Ave., Sarasota. For information,
call 941-366-9000.

Desination: Arcadia


BY SUSAN E. HOFFMAN
ARCADIAN EDITOR
DeSoto County is your ideal
destination for holiday fun!
Whether you've got Christmas
shopping on your mind or are looking
for some down-home entertainment,
you're sure to find a warm welcome
in DeSoto.
You probably know Arcadia, the heart
of DeSoto County, is known for its
many antiques and collectibles stores.
The Antique Association assures you a
wide selection of antique shops for
browsing. Here you can find a unique
gift for those hard-to-shop-for family
members and friends. Arcadia also has
one of the largest assortments of the
famed Highwaymen paintings to see
and buy check out the collection at
Timeless Treasures. Then visit Art
Creations to have your painting
expertly framed.


Downtown you'll find the Amish Shop,
featuring hand-crafted Amish furniture,
the Basket Peddler with the Vera
Bradley collection, and Bits and Pieces
selling John Medeiros jewelry.
Not far from downtown, stop in at
DeSoto Jewelry to see their unique
collection of wearable treasures, made
from gold and silver salvaged by Mel
Fisher from the wreck of the Spanish
Ship Atocha.
But DeSoto is known for much more
than just antiques. In fact, the county
won three prestigious "best of Florida"
awards for some of its most popular
features, including the Arcadia Rodeo,
"the granddaddy of them all," held every
March, with other events throughout
the year.
Stop in at the Canoe Outpost to take
in the natural beauty of the Peace
River, voted Florida's best river canoe-
ing area. This is also the time of year to


go fossil hunting in and around the
Peace River, searching for everything
from shark's teeth to mammoth
legbones.
DeSoto County has plenty of activities
planned for you this winter, including
Aviation Day Dec. 5 at the DeSoto
Municipal Airport. Here you'll be able to
see a lot of antique aircraft, lovingly
restored and preserved, as well as
experimental craft of all types. You can
even attend a free learn-to-fly seminar,
and don't miss Santa when he arrives
in an open biplane.
Later that day, the Chamber of
Commerce's annual Christmas Parade
will strut down the main street, marking
the opening of Christmas Card lane
and the unofficial start to the
holiday season.
Of course, when you get hungry and
thirsty from all these events, you'll find
several great places to eat, ranging


from authentic southern barbecue at
BullzEye BBQ to family dining at the
Clock Restaurant or Reef and Beef.
Don't miss Mary Margaret's Tea and
Biscuit for a touch of old-fashioned
charm from the antique furnishings to
the owners' top-hats and period frock
coats. Be sure to save room for dessert
at the Hot Fudge Shoppe with its
1950s-style decor. And for beverages,
try the Shoot Through, where you can
buy your favorites right from your car.
If you need a place to stay in DeSoto,
or just want a romantic getaway, check
out the Oak Park Inn. Situated in the
heart of downtown next to the Tree of
Knowledge Park, it's a luxurious bed-
and-breakfast full of old-fashioned
southern charm.
The folks here in DeSoto will welcome
you with warm hospitality. So come to
DeSoto to explore the many activities
and shops it has to offer.


K-rated Komedy


club opens at FST


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
According to Florida Studio
Theatre's associate director Kate
Alexander, thousands of students
study, perform or view performances at
the Sarasota-based theater each year.
Those with a flair for comedy now
have a venue where they can hone their
skills before a live audience the
Goldstein Cabaret.
Each Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
students aged 9-17, directed by Adam
Ratner, will entertain kids of all ages
with sketch and improve humor per-
formed on the cabaret stage. Ratner,
who grew up at FST, is a veteran of the
theater's first incarnation of a comedy
club for budding comedians some 20
years ago.
The Saturday morning performers,
despite their youth, are veterans of
several years of FST classes. With
Ratner's help they will develop their own
material.


Tickets are $6 per person to keep it
affordable for kids to attend. That price
includes lunch as well as age-appropri-
ate humor. That it might inspire others to
inquire about classes at the theater is a
possible bonus but the main reason for
the club is to give the budding comedi-
ans a venue. The program also is in
keeping with FST's mission to "bring the
arts to as many people as possible at
the most affordable costs ..."
FST's education program includes
classes and workshops for students and
adults in all aspects of theater.
FST is at 1241 N. Palm Ave., Saraso-
ta. For tickets, call the box office at
941-366-9000.

Kaiser speaks to arts crisis


PROVIDED BY THE FLORIDA ALLIANCE
FOR ARTS EDUCATION
This December, Floridians have the
opportunity to take part in a
national conversation about the
challenges facing arts organizations in
the face of a global recession.
Michael Kaiser, president of The John
F Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, is leading arts management
symposia in a cross-country tour called
"Arts in Crisis: A Kennedy Center
Initiative." The tour is visiting major cities
across the United States. At each event,
hosted by a local arts organization,
Kaiser addresses the challenges facing
non-profit performing arts organizations
today through such areas as fundrais-
ing, building more effective boards of
trustees, budgeting, and marketing.
"Each locality is dealing with its own
unique and specific challenges, and
there is no better way to understand
each region than through in-person
visits," Kaiser said. "Communicating in
person allows us to be more effective in
advising organizations in need."


The Florida Alliance for Arts Education
(FAAE) is hosting the two Florida
symposia, Dec. 9 in Orlando at the
Crowne Plaza, 304 West Colonial Drive;
and Dec. 10 in Miami at the Adrienne
Arsht Center for the Performing Arts,
1300 Biscayne Blvd. There is no charge
to attend either event but registration is
required. Both events begin at 9 a.m.
with an informal meet and greet. The
program is 10-11:30 a.m. and includes a
question and answer session.
Florida-based business and communi-
ty leaders, representatives from arts
organizations, educators, legislators,
and government officials are invited to
participate.
For information about the Florida
symposia, call FAAE offices at 408-488-
8868 or email requests to
info@faae.org. To register online, visit
faae.org or go directly to
http://www.faae.org/kaiserReg.cfm.

Club holds 16th annual Six-A-Side Festivax


PROVIDED BY THE SARASOTA
CRICKET CLUB
Thanksgiving weekend, the
Sarasota International Cricket
Club will host its 16th annual
Six-A-Side Festival at the club in
Lakewood Ranch. There are 15
confirmed teams of six to eight players,
including: the Houston Memorial,
Houston Nomads, Nashville Vols,
Fairfield County Cricket Club from
Connecticut, Titans and Titans Youth

Cayman Island Greenies and Ever-
greenies, and two teams from the

The two leading teams in each group
proceed to Finals Day on Sunday. The
public is invited to attend the cricket
grounds to watch the play.
"As a club we are so fortunate to
have a small nucleus of 'non-members'
who step to the wicket year after year
to ensure a successful Thanksgiving
Festival," club president Laurence
Perry said. "Without their 'hands on'
efforts The Festival would have been
history many years ago."

Antipasto Salad, a variety of Italian meats and cheeses over a fresh
garden salad.


Chicken Marsala, a classic dish prepared with
mushrooms and sweet marsala wine.

BY LYNNE JAMES
SUN CORRESPONDENT
When the moon hits your eye...
Donato Valentino and George
Fanelli were friends and grew
up on the streets of New York City. They
remained close, and (through their
children) eventually became in-laws.
Dan Valentino was a kid when he
attended Sandy Fanelli's birthday party.
She was one-year-old.
Dan and Sandy married, had their
own family and, in 1996, opened
Donato's Italian Restaurant in the
Murdock Carrousel Plaza in
Port Charlotte.
"It was a small, 12-table restaurant. Very
simple just pasta, soda in cans," said
David Valentino, one of the two owners of
today's version
But, when David and brother Dennis
decided to take over the family business,
changes needed to be made.
"It would have to be bigger," David said.
"It was a great, little hole-in-the-wall, but it
wouldn't sustain two families."
Serendipitously, around the time of the
transition, two businesses a few doors
down closed their doors the Village Fish
Market and Europa House.
"It was this 'perfect storm' kind of thing,"
David said, "and we hit pay dirt."
David and Dennis Valentino had the
ability to design, from scratch, the present
150-seat restaurant.
Ultimately, it was decided the inside
decor would have an outside feel of the
streets of New York City during a time
when kids played stickball, laundry hung
on clotheslines outside of tenement
windows, and the smell of tomato gravy


Donato's


permeated the air. The time of Donato
and George.
The outdoor concept grew, expanding
from street and subway signs to a
newsstand and street-lamps.
"That's when we went 'over the edge',"
David said. "We agreed that 'if it's outside,
there should be a curb'." And, indeed,
there is a curb.
"For restaurant people, it was a very
giddy time," David said expressing the
enjoyment of that period.
The menu was expanded dramatically,
an area was dedicated for sausage
making, and recently David completed
one of his decorating desires.
"I always wanted a star ceiling," he said,
"and just finished about a month ago. I
probably think too much about (our) little
restaurant, but I get a kick out of people's
reactions."
Who wouldn't react to 2,000 "stars" in
the sky of an indoor restaurant? And, just
how did this diorama end up in Port
Charlotte? A circuitous route, to be sure.
Although Dan was born in Brooklyn,
Sandy was born in Manhattan, and the
couple met and married there, they
moved around quite a bit before
settling in Florida.
"I was born in Toms River, NJ," David
said, "and we lived in Rumson, NJ,
when Dennis (came along)."
In 1984, Dan and Sandy left New
Jersey, with their six children, and moved
to Oban, Scotland, where they opened a
small hotel/restaurant.
"They split the hotel in half," David said,
"and we lived on one side, with the guest
rooms on the other. I guess you could say
it was like a big bed and breakfast."


Whatever you'd call it, David feels the
business became very much a way of life,
where the whole family worked together.
"My brother (Dennis) would go down-
stairs and serve breakfast," David said.
"Nine or 10 (years old) at the time, he was
adorable. The guests loved him."
When the Valentino's moved back to the
United States in the early 1990s, they
wanted to be in a climate which was not
cold and wet. So they settled in North Port
before opening Donato's, which they
operated for approximately six years,
before the boys took charge.
David is an attorney and graduated from
the University of Florida. In 1996, he
married Sheila Janssen, and practiced
law in Atlanta, Georgia for a time. Before
taking over Donato's, David was a
prosecutor in Sarasota. The couple have
two daughters, Elizabeth, 19, and
Sara, 8.
Dennis obtained a degree in marketing
from the University of South Florida, and
has two children, son Derek, 10, and
Bella, 4.
The Valentino brothers are proud of
their staff. Employing 35 people, 12 of the
servers have been with Donato's from
three to 10 years, and kitchen manager,
Dennis Therault, has been there
over six years.
"We have a great deal of fun,"
David said.
That is evident during the group sing-a-
long which began spontaneously awhile
ago. According to David, they all were
together at a social event where they
happened to sing the song, "It's Amore."
After the staff convinced him that they
should be allowed to break out in song in


Seafood Combo is fresh shrimp, calamari, mussels
and clams in marinara sauce or sauteed with garlic,
olive oil and white wine over linguini.


the restaurant, he acquiesced, and the
activity was well-received and
continues often.
"It's a big hit," said David, who had
wanted nothing to do with it originally.
"Everyone loves it, even me." he said.
The sing-a-long is always unplanned,
but Donato's does offer music every
Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m., when "Teddy" strolls through
the restaurant singing Italian songs.
"He fits so well with the restaurant
(atmosphere)," David said.
Located at 1900 Tamiami Trail, lunch is
served Monday through Saturday from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner, 4 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday,

Bartender
of the WEEK


Tracey

Wadsworth





The Crab
House


BY SHARE DERRICKSON
SUN CORRESPONDENT
Tracey Wadsworth, the bar
manager at the Laishley
Crab House in Punta Gorda,
is a bartending dynamo that runs a
tight ship. Her success may be her
unique combination of attention to
detail and her Heartland good
manners.
Born and raised in Arcadia to
former military parents, she grew
up where discipline and gracious-
ness were the standard. "It was in
my upbringing to always show
respect," she said. "I grew up
saying 'yes ma'am and no sir.'"
After graduation, from high
school, she went to college in
Tallahassee for liberal arts studies,
and earned money working as a
server and a bartender.
She moved to Port Charlotte
11 years ago and got a job a
Harpoon Harry's, one of six estab-
lishments that belong to the
Smuggler's Restaurants & Bars.
"I started waiting tables at Har-
poons. I picked up there and never
left. I did tables for about five years
until a bar position opened up and I

pride in Tracey Wadsworth's work.

got it," she said. When the Laishley
Crab House opened, she was
recruited to oversee the bar
operations something she said
she thoroughly enjoys.
Wadsworth said, like many
youths, she didn't know what she
wanted to do with her life when she
was in college. "I did this in college
and I really liked it, and then I
started working at Harpoon Harry's
- and I fell right into it because it
was season and there was a
lot of work to do.
And Wadsworth loves to work. "It
is one of the things I like about this
job there is always something to
do and I love season when it is
hopping," she said.
A wife and mother of two,
Wadsworth works hard to keep
things in balance. Since her
children are in preschool,
Wadsworth can, if needed, go into
work early to make sure everything
is in order as she is particular
about the details and that things
are in place to go smoothly.
"That's how I was raised to
always do my best."

TECHNOLOGY
Nintendo's Mario
endures even as
games come and go
BY BARBARA ORTUTAY
AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER
Mario, the pot-bellied Italian
plumber with a penchant for
rescuing princesses, collecting
golden coins and gobbling magic
mushrooms, has been around for
nearly three decades. And even though
he hasn't changed much, the latest
game he stars in, the newly released
"The New Super Mario Bros. Wii" is
one of the holiday season's top titles.
Created by Japanese
game designer
Shigeru Miyamoto,
Mario is a recogniz-
able character even to,
people who don't play
video games.
With the launch of the Nintendo
Entertainment System in 1985, which
in the U.S. came bundled with "Super
Mario Bros.," video games became a
household phenomenon. Nintendo sold
60 million of the consoles, often called
the NES.
The new game is a throwback to
Mario games of the 1980s and '90s,
played out in two dimensions rather
than three. The characters mostly move
left to right jumping on platforms,
stomping enemies and ducking through
pipes into hidden areas.
Miyamoto says he hopes the latest
installment attracts both Mario experts
and people new to the game. It has a
multiplayer option, a first for a Mario
game, that lets four people play
alongside one another.
And in Mario's case, the brand stands
for good, clean fun.
It's timeless," Ninou Gaul, 33 says,
"and the level of violence is nothing
I would object to."

in the parade for pictures. So come on by, the elves are bringing oodles of toys for all the girls and boys who share their "wish list" with Santa. For a small donation,
you can get your picture taken and leave with a photo AND a toy to commemorate the 2009 Holiday Season.
