Utility rates likely to rise


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR


City council members held
a workshop Thursday on a
proposed utility rate hike, but
took no action.
Council heard from consul-
tant Malcolm-Pirnie Inc.,
which outlined a number of
scenarios designed to recoup
past losses.
In addition a hikes in the 3
percent range, under a five-
year program adopted in 2007,
council will consider addition-


al increases this year.
Consultants laid out a series
of scenarios that increase
rates, creates a reserve in the
Utility Fund where none had
existed before, uses surtax pro-
ceeds, and increases debt ser-
vice.
"On a preliminary basis,
pending additional informa-
tion, analysis and discussion,
council expressed a preference
for a middle approach, but no
decision was made," wrote
Mayor Ed Martin in an e-mail
dated Jan. 14.


"Utilities fees are, under law,
supposed to pay the costs of
the services, but the city,
involved in some major capital
expenditures, did not raise the
rates until about $9 million
had been used from general
revenues to support the utili-
ties fund, creating a loan oblig-
ation to the city's general fund.
"In 2007, the previous coun-
cil passed a resolution raising
utilities fees by 3 percent a year
for a five-year period to help

A backhoe stands ready to spread sand on Venice Beach Tuesday. Dredging to make the Venice Inlet
safer for boaters will also provide about 30,000 cubic yards of sand to shore up eroded areas just
south of the South Jetty.


BY STEVE REILLY
STAFF WRITER


New sand is being added
to Venice Beach.
The dredging of the Venice
Inlet is anticipated to deposit
more than 30,000 cubic yards
of sand on the beach. The
sand primarily will come
from shoals that built up in
the Intracoastal Waterway
along Snake Island, located


east of the inlet.
"Boating should not be
impacted," said Chuck Lis-
towski, director of the West
Coast Inland Navigation Dis-
trict. However, boaters are
urged to use caution navigat-
ing in areas near where the
dredge crews are working.
Listowski said buoys will be
placed to mark the location
of the dredging pipeline.
Sarasota County Commis-


sioner Nora Patterson, who
serves as her county's
WCIND representative, said,
"I think it's the first dredging
in a long time in the Intra-
coastal Waterway. It's been a
hazard for boaters trying to
get in and out of the inlet."
The sand is being deposit-
ed on the public beach area
just south of the Jetty Villas.

Gas getting scarce


on the island


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

Gas has become a rare com-
modity on the island ofVenice in
the first few days of 2010. Of the
three gas stations operating last
year, only one continues to dis-
pense gas.
To make the situation worse,
there is a possibility next month
that the only station pumping
gas on the island may stop for a
limited time.
The only station still dispens-
ing gas is the Citgo station on
Business 41 at West Miami
Avenue. Operated since 1994 by
Bob and Chandra Patel, it has
underground tanks that were
installed a few years ago to meet
the new stringent standards that
have led other stations to go out
of the business of selling gas.
"In three weeks all the gas
pumps are being replaced with
new state-of-the-art dispens-
ers," he said. This will resolve
problems encountered by some
customers pumping gas during
the recent cold spell.
The Patels have lived in
Venice since 1991. For two and
a half years they operated a gas
station south on Business 41
that closed because the under-
ground tanks needed replac-
ing and there were problems
with well-water usage.
With the start of the new year
the most central gas station,
Island BP, 116 North Tamiami
Trail at the Venice Avenue
Bridge, closed. A handwritten
notice on the kiosk door states
"Store closed out of busi-


ness." The inventory has been
removed from the small store
and the pumps are covered.
Former manager Rajan
Markose confirmed that the sta-
tion had clos-
ed because
new under-
ground stor-
age tanks were
required and
the $250,000
replacement
cost was not
available Ryan
from a lender.
The station is
owned byAMJ Oil Company of
Chicago.
The third island gas station,
Shell, near Venice Regional
Medical Center, stopped sell-
ing gas a few days ago. Ar-
rangements had been made
for a contractor to start replac-
ing the underground storage
tanks on Jan. 4 but he had to
delay until the end of January.
Manager Gary Patel said the
job, including installation of
new pumps, should be com-
pleted in four weeks and they
will be selling gas again around
the end ofFebruary.
Venice Area Chamber of
Commerce President John Ryan
said it is unfortunate if some gas
stations in this area make the
business decision not to replace
tanks. "My biggest concern is,
these businesses occupy prom-
inent locations and if they look
and become blighted this will
affect the whole community,"
he said.

Board: No rental violation


BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR


Neighbors thought they had
the property owner dead to
rights. They spoke to renters
who said they had a lease.
They took down their license
plate numbers and photo-
graphed the visitors to Venice.
But in the end the city of
Venice dropped charges
against a property owner who
was accused of violating the
city ordinance banning short-
term rentals.
The municipal Code En-
forcement Board voted 4-2 on
Jan. 7 to drop all new actions
against Marty L. Gwynn, who
owns a home on Darling Drive.
It's the second time Gwynn
has been brought before the
code board. Gwynn is already
taking the city to court appeal-
ing an earlier alleged violation


Good morning


on the grounds that the reser-
vation was made prior to the
ordinance going into affect.
Gwynn's attorney, Grady
Huie, said that denying the
reservations amounts to inter-
fering with an existing contract
and is therefore unconstitu-
tional. He also argued, in this
instance, that the city simply
didn't make its case.
A city ordinance passed in
July 2009 bans short-term
rentals except those that were
already licensed. After that all
others were to cease.
Dates disputed
In this latest code enforce-
ment action, the board was
faced with a city case that con-
flicted with its own witnesses.
Code enforcement officer
John Patek said Gwynn never

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
fourth in a series of stories on
shade meetings. In the first story
we reported that the first shade
(private attorney-client) meeting
regarding the Pier Group lease lit-
igation, held Oct. 10, 2006, began
with a prediction by the city's lead
attorney that it had little chance of
prevailing. A second story detail-
ed how city council spent the next
two and a half years seeking con-
cessions, largely to limit the size
of a restaurant renovation. It was
followed by a third story on how
evidence against the city's posi-
tion that the lease was invalid
mounted. The following story
explores City Attorney Bob
Anderson's role in the dispute.

The discomfort was with a
lease negotiated back in 2000
and amended in 2003 by then
city manager George Hunt.
Hunt had his own way of
doing things. He asked for
authority to become lead ne-
gotiator over a new lease being
negotiated with Pier Group -
without the participation of
City Attorney Bob Anderson.
Later, convinced the city
was getting a raw deal because
there were blanks in some of
the terms of the lease, Council
Member John Moore chal-
lenged it.
On May 9, 2006, he per-
suaded fellow council mem-

FWC limits fishing due to chill kill


BY GREG MARTIN
STAFF WRITER


The recent cold snap
caused a "widespread" saltwa-
ter fish kill, so state wildlife reg-
ulators closed fishing for
snook, bonefish and tarpon
Saturday to protect what's left.
Several area sport fishing
guides said Saturday they don't
expect the closure to have a
significant impact on their
business. They also said they
support the action to allow the
fish to recover, even though
the state has no firm estimate
of the amount of fish killed.
"They're being proactive,"
said Ralph Allen, owner of King
Fisher Fleet in Punta Gorda.
"They recognize this is a very
important fishery worth a lot


of money to the state. And
rather than having to wonder if
the fish really got hammered,
they've gone out and done
something."
The Florida Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commission
issued a set of executive orders
to accomplish the closures.
They include:
Extending the current
closed fishing season for
snook statewide until Sep-
tember. Normally, the season
opens for March and April
and September through No-
vember, so the closure only
affects the two-month spring
season.
Closing fishing for bone-
fish and tarpon until April.
Normally, there is no closed
season for these species.


One hurt in

three-car crash


PHOTO COURTESY OF MARTY DOVER
One person was injured in a three-vehicle crash on Albee Farm
Road Sunday, and was taken to Venice Regional Medical Center.
Two of the vehicles were traveling north on Albee Farm Road
when a white Ford Taurus turned north from Bird Bay into their
path. The driver of the Taurus was not injured.


Removing certain harvest
regulations to allow people to
net dead fish and dispose of
them.
The closures will protect
surviving snook that spawn in
the spring and give FWC's
research scientists time to
evaluate the extent of the dam-
age, FWC Chairman Rodney
Barreto said in a release.
More fish
The cold snap, which lin-
gered for more than a week,
included several nights during
which temperatures dipped
into the 20s in Southwest
Florida. The temperatures in
the Gulf of Mexico dropped
below 50 degrees.
"I've seen quite a few snook,
catfish, some sand bream,
ladyfish, a few jacks, a lot of
baitfish, anchovies, a few tar-
pon, some spadefish and a few
others (dead)," Allen said.
However, the closure will
have little effect on the char-
ter business because anglers
can still catch trout or red-
fish, which are less cold-sen-
sitive, he said.
Snook are regarded as a
subtropical fish, while trout
and redfish inhabit bays as far
north as the Carolinas.
"I think it's a good idea,"
said John Wood of Offshore
Express Charters of the clo-
sures. "Snook (are) a warm-
water fish. The cold slows
their metabolism down so
much it just kills them."
The closure won't affect his
business because he primari-
ly fishes offshore for other
species, he said.
Rod Walinchus, editor of the
Sun's WaterLine section, said
the snook closure will have
some effect on the inshore
fishing industry.
"Sure, people like to fish for
snook, but under the circum-
stances, I think they'll under-

stand," he said. "Personally, I
think it's the right thing to do. I
think the snook are stressed
and need time to recover."
Walinchus said he's hearing
reports of a "massive fish kill,"
in the neighborhood of 20,000
dead. The visual impact may
be alarming, but that doesn't
mean the snook fishery is in
trouble, Allen said.
"People tend to get excited
when they see a pile of dead


fish," he said. "But for the
statewide population, that
might not make a significant
dent.
"My experience in the last
35 years: There's usually more
fish left than you think."
However, he added that
the cold snap was also the
coldest he's seen in the area
in 35 years.

ed hands.
"It would be nice to
have that information,"
said Board Chair Robert
Young.
"We are not given an
opportunity to speak to
the owner of the property
(to ask), did you collect
'X' dollars for that week?
It prevents us from ask-
ing the questions we
need to ask.
"You don't put rentals
on there if you are not
going to rent. It's not
there for a freebie. We
can rely on the Web site.
They marked the dates
that aren't available.
That, to me, is reliable


evidence."
"The Web site shows
they are advertising,"
replied City Attorney
Wayne Hall. "I don't know
if anybody rented."
Hall said the board has
the authority to issue
subpoenas, and could do
so to secure the informa-
tion in the future, but it
would increase the cost
of doing business.

Lacks transition
Huie asked the wit-
nesses if the occupants, if
they were renters, could
have stayed a week but
paid for the month.
No one had an answer.
"It's the city job to
prove they were violating
the city ordinance," Huie
said. "It's not my job.
Rent means rent. There is
no evidence here today
that these were rentals."
"They were in viola-
tion," said Board Mem-
ber Patricia Boruff, "but
because of the circum-
stance of when they
made the reservation I
feel we should be lenient.
When you plan a wed-
ding, you are planning
months in advance. If
you got canceled at the
last minute, as a renter, it
would be pretty devastat-
ing."
"Eyewitnesses said
one thing. The Web site
said another. Right there
we are conflicted," said
Board Member Joe Dal-
ton. "I have a real prob-
lem based on those two
items. If, in the future,
there are other" alleged
violations brought before
the board "there should
be a lease agreement" to
consider. "We are talking

This residence on Darling Drive drew attention from neighbors who say it was rented illegally. The property owner was
found not guilty recently of renting it out as a short-term rental.


about setting a prece-
dent down the road."
"This is what I was
exactly concerned about
when council rushed this
(ordinance) through,"
said Board Member Jon
Preiksat, an attorney.
"The ordinance has cre-


ated this problem. And
for those of us involved
in this, we have raised
those issues. And frankly,
one of the things was,
how are you going to
enforce this ordinance?"
Preiksat and Hall
agreed there was no tran-


sition language in the
ordinance.
"It needs a transition,"
Hall said.
After two failed mo-
tions to find the property
owner guilty, Dalton
made the motion to find
him not guilty. It passed


4-2 with Young and John
Wood voting against. The
code board was consid-
ering whether to fine the
property owner $3,250
for the two separate
alleged violations.

Cut taxes and make more money
v


BY MARK W. PAOLILLO
BUSINESS COLUMNIST


In today's economy, every businessperson is
looking for ways to maintain business profits.
Ideas for increasing sales and cutting costs
abound. You've probably tried most of them. But
there's one source of cost saving that is often over-
looked, and it can be surprisingly effective.
Most businesspeople don't think of taxes as a
profit source, but saving a dollar of taxes can be
even better for your financial health than cutting a
dollar of costs. Why? When you reduce your taxes,
you get to keep 100 percent of the savings. On the
other hand, when you increase profits by increas-
ing sales or cutting costs, you must share a portion
of your additional profit with the IRS.
Consider this example. Say you do an exhaus-
tive study of your operations and figure out a way
to cut $10,000 of costs. If sales are unchanged,
you'll boost your pretax income by $10,000.
Assuming a 39 percent corporate income tax
bracket, you'll pay $3,900 in taxes on the $10,000
income, leaving $6,100 of after-tax profits.
Now let's look at an alternative scenario.
Assume you do some serious tax planning and
identify $10,000 of tax savings. That's $10,000 less


"Most businesspeople don't think of
taxes as a profit source, but saving a
dollar of taxes can be even better for
your financial health than cutting a
dollar of costs."
MarkW. Paolillo of Hough &

that you'll pay to the IRS and $10,000 more cash in
your bank account. Conclusion: A dollar of tax
savings has more financial impact than a dollar of
cost reductions.
Depending on how efficient your business is,
you should be on the lookout for ways to cut costs.
But don't give up when you've run out of cost-cut-
ting ideas. It's highly unlikely that your business is
taking advantage of every tax-saving opportunity
available. As this example shows, effective tax
planning could be the most direct way to end up
with more money.
If you own a business, a thorough business and
tax review may reveal tax-cutting opportunities.

Residents of South Venice,
eastern Englewood and north-
ern North Port will benefit next
year from the completion of an
urgent care and family medi-
cine center in South Venice.
In September, construction
is scheduled to start on the
new phase 2 building adjoin-
ing the Center of Surgical Ex-
cellence, 8421 Pointe Loop
Road, next to Walgreen's near
the Tamiami Trail/Jacaranda
Boulevard intersection.
An extension of Gulf Coast
Medical Group, it will operate
under the umbrella of Health
Management Associates of
Naples, owner of Venice Re-
gional Medical Center. Doctors
employed by GCMG are on the
staff of the hospital.
"It will be a mini-emergency
room with minimal wait times,
operating seven days for
urgent care," said Emma Kate
Scoville, GCMG marketing co-
ordinator. The new center will


be an extension of fast-ex-
panding GCMG's 1700 E. Ven-
ice Ave. facility.
This center will have X-ray
and laboratory services. Pa-
tients will have the opportuni-
ty to use the ultrasound equip-
ment at the East Venice Avenue
location.
Family medicine services
are already available, with Dr.
Mark Priest providing services
in rented space within the
existing surgical center. He will
be joined by three doctors fol-
lowing the opening of the
urgent care center.
"They will assist with minor
emergencies fractures, cuts
and sprains," said Scoville. Ma-
jor issues will go to the emer-
gency room at VRMC.
GCMG has 10 centers be-
tween South Sarasota and
North Port employing 43 doc-
tors providing internal and
family-practice services in-
cluding primary care, neurolo-
gy, endocrology and pul-
monology.

BUSINEWS COLUMNIST


"My partner and I will make
fresh gelati ice cream daily in
our store," said Luca Cassani.
This week, he and co-owner
Antonio Pariano open Ciao
Gelato, 317-A W Venice Ave.,
across from Bank of America.
"Ciao" is an Italian greeting
used to mean "welcome" and
"goodbye."
They will serve cones and
cups of 16 flavors of gelato,
their homemade, natural,
healthy and low-cholesterol
ice cream made with fresh
fruit.
Outside will be three tables
and inside will be take-out ser-
vice of homemade pastries
with Italian deserts together
with espresso, cappuccino,


coffees and sodas.
Three years ago the part-
ners opened Casariano Italian
Eatery, 305-B W Venice Ave.,
serving contemporary Italian
food.
They will operate the gelato
store with three additional
employees. The store is open
seven days from 8 a.m. to 9
p.m. Call 485-0507.
Steakhouse opens
Regency Plaza has a new
restaurant, Ivy Steak House,
1185 South U.S. 41 Bypass,
replacing Fresco Italian restau-
rant.
Karen Yen is managing the
new eatery, where you can
enjoy hand-cut Angus steaks,
Icelandic cod and crabcakes,
burgers, pasta, pizzas and sal-
ads for dinner.
The lunch menu also in-
cludes sandwiches, salads and
pizzas. A new bar has been
built to provide diners with
liquor, beer and wines.
Yen came from North Da-
kota to Venice 19 years ago. She
managed an Englewood rest-
aurant for 10 years, and has
been a manager for the Crow's
Nest and Bogey's.
She is assisted by Lisa Lar-


son, who also worked for Bo-
gey's.
With experience in outside
catering for local charity fund-
raisers, she plans to expand
this service.
Ivy Steak House opens at 11
a.m. Monday through Friday
and at 3 p.m. weekends. Call
244-0586.
Pet shop closing
This week grab a real bar-
gain in the closing sale at Me-
ows and Growls, 100-AW Ven-
ice Ave., next to Cafe Venice.
Jeanne Soos is reducing prices
by 50 percent, with a few ex-
ceptions.
She started the business in
the West Miami Avenue
Breezeway eight years ago,
moving in 2003.
"2008 was not good, 2009
was worse," said Soos. "I don't
want to stick around to see
what 2010 brings."
The progressive sale in-
cludes gifts for cat and dog
lovers and their pets, including
collars, leases, car seats, T-
shirts, greeting cards, jewelry
and the store fixtures. Call 485-
3770.
April, the black-and-white
shop kitty who has no back


paws is looking for a home.
"She is a wonderful shop
kitty, enjoying customer atten-
tion," said Soos, who brought
her in the store nine years ago.
Unless she can find another
store or home where April
would receive love and atten-
tion Soos will take her home,
but she already has multiple
pets and teenagers so she will
not be the queen anymore.
Closed
We have lost another large,
established auto dealership,
which employed 50 people.
Venice Autoland, 1550
South Tamiami Trail, originally
Venice Chrysler, closed Dec.
22, another victim of the econ-
omy and Chrysler's national
shake-up last year. It was
owned for 16 years by the
Golden family of Venice, who
had made major investments
to improve the properties and
landscaping.
Rejuvenation
The shabby-looking Jaca-
randa Shopping Plaza, South
U.S. 41 Bypass at Center Road
owned by Benderson Corp. of
Sarasota, is getting a long-
awaited rejuvenation.


Contractors are repairing
buildings in preparation for
repainting the strip mall. This

PROJECTfromPagelA
City officials are urging
the general public to use
caution during the dredg-
ing project.
Venice Vice Mayor
Ernie Zavodnyik said the
sand will be deposited
above the mean high tide
line and will be moni-
tored to ensure it meets
Florida Department of
Environmental Protec-
tion standards.
The dredging is no-
where near as massive as
the city's beach renour-
nishment projects in the
past. However, Zavod-
nyik said the sand will
replace a section of pub-
lic beach that has been
experiencing erosion.
Listowski said the
$650,000 project could
take 45 days to 60 days,
depending upon the
weather. Due to the de-
pressed economy, he
said, the project cost is
half the original estimate.

debt stands at about $6
million now and fees are
still insufficient to pro-
vide for needed repair
and restoration and (to)
build appropriate reserv-
es to protect the city's
credit and bond ratings."
A local tax watchdog
challenged the direction
council is headed.
"It would seem that
revenue bonds are the
principle funding source,
supported with enhanc-
ed fees," wrote Venice
Taxpayer League Pres-
ident Gary Budway and
board member Tom
Brener in a Jan. 13 e-mail
to council members.
"In all (scenarios), the
residential utility users
will see large increases in
succeeding years."
They urged council to
go back to the drawing
board find "real efficien-
cies, cut labor costs and
encourage conservation."
"We would hope that
as a city we can learn to
do more with less," they
wrote.
Future workshops are
expected.

sion of the
lease, file suit
in circuit court
or take other
appropriate
legal steps, and
to consider the
use of outside
counsel for the Moore
purpose of as-
sisting in this task. The vote was
unanimous.
Two and a half years later the
city would settle. It did gain
some financial concessions, but
they didn't outweigh the cost of
litigation.
It was never about the
money, said one council mem-
ber. Pier Group agreed to a cap
on the number of seats for a
proposed restaurant expansion.
It was more in keeping with the
views of the relatively new, pre-
dominantly slow-growth coun-
cil, whose vision included keep-
ing a check on traffic and drink-
ing in areas near the restaurant,
where many of them live. A key
goal had been achieved.
Lessons
On Sept. 20,2008, city council
members, Anderson and out-
side counsel Steve Chase
crammed into Room 301 at city
hall, a room roughly 12 feet by
10 feet, for the last of seven
shade meetings.
Anderson and Moore recalled
sitting down with Hunt to
review the proposed amended
lease years earlier. After a short
while Hunt got up and left the
meeting abruptly, believing his
authority was somehow being


usurped, An-
derson sur-
mised.
"Do you re-
member that?"
Anderson ask-
Sed Moore, ac-
cording to the
meeting tran-
Martin script.
"Like it was
yesterday," Moore replied.
Council members com-
plained during many of the
seven shade meetings, saying
they suspected city leases were
not getting the scrutiny they
deserved.
"We all agree. It's a horrible
deal," Anderson said. "Maybe
the lesson we're going to get out
of this is y'all need to scrutinize
the work product that you are
asked to approve. In hindsight,
there is no way this should ever
have been approved by the
Venice City Council."
"If there's a lesson to be
learned," Moore said, "it's how
one four-page innocuous little
agreement with a 20-page lease
incorporated into it, which was
blank and unsigned, didn't get
the kind of scrutiny it should
have gotten at the time."
"It just illustrates, in my
mind, the legal implications and
consequences of everything you
do every day when you vote on
stuff here on city council.
"This is the worst example of
not paying attention that I've
ever seen.
"Thank goodness that's not
how we do business now,"
Anderson said.
"It seems as though the city at

might not have

with leases ...
as they are
now," said May-
or Ed Martin.
New under-
Anderson standing
"It was
a different atmosphere, and you
people will not duplicate that,"
Anderson said. "That's one of
the lessons learned. I agree with
Judge Moore wholeheartedly
about ... you all need to scruti-
nize these documents. Whether
they come from me or they
come from (Assistant City
Manager) Nancy (Woodley) or
they come from anybody on city
staff, you should be asking the
tough questions, and if we don't
have the answer, continue it to
the next meeting and demand
answers from us."
"This was from a previous
time where basically city council
... said, 'City manager, you're the
guy. You negotiate, you put these
deals together, you work them
out. City attorney, all we want is
you to say whether or not the
form is in a legally correct fash-
ion. We don't want you to get
into the substance. That's for the
city manager to determine.' And
it got us into problems with the
golf course. It got us into prob-
lems with Sharky's, and I could
give you a whole laundry list of
problems. Thank heavens this
council doesn't subscribe to that
way of doing business.
"You expect my comments,
my recommendations. You don't


necessarily have to embrace
them or operate in accordance
with them, but at least you hear
me out. I think that's the way the
system has to work. Just because
we put something in front of
you doesn't mean you just have
to rubber-stamp it. Make us
prove to you that's the best we
can do. Then we won't get into
these crazy predicaments."
"For the record," said then
council member Rick Tacy, "I
wasn't on council when this
lease was voted on. There was a
mind-set and there were some
(council members) that were
totally adamant that Bob
(Anderson) was not to be
involved at all with any lease
negotiations, not even to review
(them). Trust me, I got my head
bit off a couple times sitting on
the side asking why Bob
(Anderson) hadn't reviewed it."
"I am glad that we're out from
under that cloud," Anderson
said.
"I think we've made it pretty
clear since then that we want
your opinion on things," Moore
said. "If you see anything that is
going to have an adverse legal
consequence to the city that we're
doing, please tell us and speak up
and let us know what it is so we
can have that to consider."
'And that's, why, quite frankly,
things are not moving through as
quickly as they used to, because
nowl do more in-depth review,"
Anderson said. "We're all going to
be better for it."

OUR VIEW


Sales taxes are escaping the collection web


T welve years ago, when the
Internet was still in what we'd
consider a formative stage,
Florida joined a coalition of states try-
ing to come up with a way to impose
state taxes on online sales.
Sort of. The state never made the
commitment to full membership in
the compact.
A lot has happened in the cyber-
world in a decade. This past Christ-
mas season, national online sales
surged 5 percent, reaching $27 billion.
That's following year-over-year hikes
of 10 and 11 percent, for the Christ-
mas season alone.
It's obvious where this is going. Still
only 4 percent of all retail sales in this
country, the Internet sales engine is
gaining momentum.
But Florida still gets virtually noth-
ing in sales taxes when residents buy
books, clothing and flat-screen TVs
over the Web. A handful of people fol-
low state law you are responsible


for reporting and paying sales tax on
everything you buy online but
that's a joke. No one does it, other
than a few people working in the gov-
ernor's office and the tax department.
No one expects John or Jane Q. Public
to fess up and pony up at tax time.
Recently, two state lawmakers
joined with advocacy groups includ-
ing AARP and Florida TaxWatch to
press, once again, for the Legislature
to bring Florida into full membership
with the 22 other states that have rat-
ified the Streamlined Sales and Use
Tax Agreement. The measure comes
up every year but has fallen short.
Apparently, lawmakers don't want to
be seen to be imposing "new taxes."
Something else must be afoot,
though, because that is nonsense.
Florida law already calls for con-
sumers to pay taxes on Internet pur-
chases. It's just not enforced. This
multi-state compact presents a sim-
plified ways for businesses to collect


sales taxes and remit the money to
state governments. Signing on fully-
Florida is now just a nonvoting mem-
ber of the coalition could help
speed the process.
The state actually might be able to
collect some sales tax from out-of-
state businesses that sell products to
Florida consumers.
Just like the stores on Main Street
or in the mall.
That's one main argument in favor
of the program: It levels the playing
field for the Florida's bricks-and-mor-
tar businesses, which collect state and
local sales taxes, as well as payroll
taxes for local employees and proper-
ty taxes for local government. As it
stands right now, it's simply unfair
that consumers can window-shop
locally and buy globally, saving 6 or 7
percent off the top.
The other main argument is that
Florida's budget depends on sales tax
revenues. The way our tax laws are set


up, more than 70 percent of state
taxes already come from the sales tax
pool. Online sales are the fastest
growing segment of the retail sales
sector, but these sales are, essentially,
skirting existing tax laws.
Eventually, it will take an act of
Congress to implement a fair national
system. It will come some day, after
more years of online sales growth and
more data showing the compact's sys-
tem isn't overly disruptive. For the
time being, there is no good reason
for Florida not to take the final step
and join the other states working on a
solution.
Florida taxpayers already are losing
out on an estimated $2 billion each
year from those who ignore the
requirement to pay the taxes on
Internet purchases.
Try doing that the next time you're
buying something at the mall or on
Main Street.
You can't. And that's the point.

Yes, I know Christmas was a
few weeks ago. It doesn't mat-
ter whenever I go outside, I
feel like singing "White Christ-
mas" or "Frosty the Snowman"
or any other song that lends
itself to what we have been
going through.
The yard that I took fairly
decent pride in has gone from
a lush green to a pea-soup
color and yellow where wild
grass had taken over. The
plants have all gone from a
bright green to a kind of metal-
lic brown. The flowering bush-
es and plants have the flowers
withered and just hanging
there.
Taking the precautionary
step of pulling every spare
sheet and blanket out of the
closet to cover the plants, I
found, did not do the trick.
Part of the problem is I did not
take the wind or the force of it
into account. Many mornings
I had to go out and put the
sheet or blanket back on top of
the plant and add another row
of twine to keep it in place.
Usually I was in my bare feet,
so I was praying I did not get
frostbite as I stood there trying
to cover the plants. Those dam
shrubs had more protection
on them then I did as I slept
away in the house.
I learned my lesson the hard
way on that too. One night I
said, "I don't need the heater
on tonight; I will just use the
extra blankets the plants aren't
hoarding and forgo the heat."
Waking up to a house that was
55 degrees taught me a lesson.
Setting the furniture on fire for
heat wasn't such a grand idea
either.
I thought a hot shower
would do the trick and the
steam in the bathroom would


keep me warm. Unfortunately,
when the steam hit the cold
front that was in the hall it cre-
ated a thunderstorm. It took
me two hours to mop the hall
and the living room.
As a car dealer in Fort Myers
said, "It is not snowing or sleet-
ing, and there is no ice on the
road, so things are good." Yes, I
guess things are good when we
know in about a month the
grass hopefully will be green
again and the bushes we
trimmed are sprouting little
buds to tell us all is well.
I am sure you were like me
and took your thumbnail and
scratched all the branches and
trunks to see if there was green
under all the brown and black.
You were probably as thrilled
as I was to see the little bit of
green pop through. Wishing
for the best, you moved on to
the next plant and did the pro-
cedure all over again. Isn't it a
great feeling to see life under
all the trappings of the freeze
we went through? Sure, your
nails were a little dirty but that
is a small price to pay.
My yard at one time was
plastered with quilts, blankets
and sheets. It looked like I was-
n't growing azaleas, crotons or

thought I was planting and
growing cotton. If that was the
case, I had a bumper crop. You
know you are on overkill when
Levi Strauss calls and ask for a
couple of bales for their jeans.
As I've said previously, I
have been in the area for more
than 50 years and this is the
coldest I have ever seen here.
Back in 1992 it did snow in
Englewood but it was just a
flurry and the flakes melted
immediately. Even then it was
not this cold.
I have to say that even
though we were all freezing
and layered up, I noticed a cer-
tain briskness in people as
they made their daily rounds.
There is something to be said
about being in 30-degree
weather and seeing others are
in the single-digit temperature
zone.
See? There is a reason we all
moved here.

Pay to play sports elsewhere

No pay-to-play. Pay-to-play sports? Absolutely not on school
property. Let the rich hold their pay-to-play sports where they
want. Whatever happened to the value of making the team by
striving to be good, not having it handed to them by the parents?
Let's go back to the days when being proud they made the team
meant something. Having them on school property says you can
play if your parents are rich enough. I don't feel that is the value
the school system needs to promote.


Implausible. I just got back
into town yesterday and read
about ICLEI in the Gondolier
Sun. Now that the climate
thing has been exposed and
the world knows that the so-
called scientists either manip-
ulated or down-right altered
their data to get the results
they wanted, we must ask
questions about their motiva-
tions. If you ask the questions,
none of the plausible answers
is good and none of them is in
the best interest of the United
States of America. So yes, the
city needs to withdraw from
the ICLEI and stop using tax-
payer dollars to fund them. By
the way, my husband and I are
considering buying the Gon-
dolier Sun because you cov-
ered the topic very well and
most people haven't. So,
thanks very much to you.
Shelled in. Can't walk any-
more thanks to whoever put
the shells by the Beach Manor
Villas complex. I've talked to
the Public Works Department
two times and the ladies there
had no clue as to who put
them there. I have a walker
and I usually walk in the morn-
ing and the afternoon, but now
since they've put those shells
there, I am housebound.
Insightful. Congratulations
to Council Member Carlesimo
for the most intelligent, thought-
ful, insightful article about the
Venice airport that has ap-
peared in print in a very long
time. It is nothing but simple
common sense, yet it's a shame
that our current city council and
mayor and their supporters
can't seem to understand that.


Let 'em


Have It


Spurred off. I'm calling
about Carlesimo's article in the
paper. I agree with him 100
percent. I'm very glad he was
elected. I hope that the rest of
the council will listen to him
because I think he's speaking
for the people of Venice. I also
think that Ed Martin, Sue Lang
and Ernie Zavodnyik should
hang up their spurs. I think
they caused a lot of problems
for the city and it's time for
new people to come in, with
new ideas without an agen-
da, as they came in with, but
with what's best for the
entire city of Venice. I'm glad
you have this phone line so I
can call up and give my opin-
ion.
Thanks. You probably won't
print this anyway, but I just
wanted to thank Bob Vedder


for retiring. It's way past time
he left. Hopefully, the new
publisher will not be so vindic-
tive and opinionated as Bob
Vedder has been. Thank you
for making the new year bet-
ter.
Re-elect? No, resign.
Council members Sue Lang
and Ernie and Ed Martin defi-
nitely should not I repeat,
should not run for re-elec-
tion. In fact, it would be won-
derful if they would just resign
immediately. Anyone could
replace them and do a better
job. They have made Venice
the laughingstock of Florida
councils, not to mention the
money that has been wasted
during their term of office. I
guess you could call them the
best of the worst.
Wonderful job. I definitely
would like to put it on record
that Sue Lang, Ernie Zavod-
nyik and Ed Martin should be
re-elected. They've done a
wonderful job.
Definitely not. My answer
as to whether Sue Lang, Ernie
Zavodnyik and Ed Martin
should run for re-election is
definitely not.
More work. Yes, I believe
that Ed Martin, Ernie Zavod-
nyik and Sue Lang should run
for re-election. I think they
have Venice on the right track,
but there's a lot more work to
be done.
Passion. Regarding as to
whether Ed Martin, Ernie Za-
vodnyik and Sue Lang should
run, I say absolutely. We need
people who have some kind of
passion and commitment and
willingness to go out on limb
and subject themselves to all
kinds of personal abuse in the
interest of doing the right thing
for the citizens. You bet.
Against it. I do not think Ed
Martin, Ernie Zavodnyik and
Sue Lang should be re-elected
to city council. I am against it.
Balance. I think Ed Martin,
Ernie Zavodnyik and Sue Lang
should all run for re-election.
We need the balance on the
council.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

No shortage of angels

Editor:
I believe that there are angels among us all the
time. But what exactly is an angel? Here is how I sug-
gest we can tell if we bump into one:
Angels deny they are angels. They don't all have
wings or halos or smiles those are only the ones
who like to dress up.
Angels don't expect anything in return for services
rendered. They don't always tell us what we want to
hear.
Oh, yes, every once in a while, we think we hear
their voice; and every once in a while, we think we see
them.
Angels aren't all called Michael or Gabriel. We
might even be angels and not realize it.
Yes, angels are here among us, giving us gifts
beyond measure. Gifts of humor when we think the
sun will never shine again; passion when we believe
we are unlovable; inspiration when our life force
wanes; confidentiality when we can't tell anyone else
our secrets; forgiveness when we so sorely need it;
advice when we don't know which direction to turn;
frankness when we try to tell less than the truth about
who we really are; and the gift of just being there when
we are so very alone.
You see, the angels are people who care about us.
This is their message as they sing over the Bethlehem
infant, hover at the bedsides of those who suffer
greatly, walk hand-in-hand with those whose lives
have been very tough, and who are there as a source
of strength and understanding when life doesn't seem
to make any sense.
Yes, angels are real, and they can bring Christmas
to us every day of the year if only we let them into our
lives.
Truly, the angels are among us.

The Rev. Don Beaudreault
Venice


Speaking of
angels ...
Editor:
On Wednesday, I did a
very stupid thing. I left
my purse in a shopping
cart at Winn-Dixie.
When I realized what I
had done, I raced back to
the store parking lot and
there, where I had park-
ed, was my empty cart
but no purse. I checked
with Winn-Dixie and
Dollar General, and no
purse had been turned
in.
I returned home with
my mind racing about all
the things that I would
need to do to prevent
anyone from using my
credit card, bank ATM
and debit cards. First
thing I did was check my
answering machine in
case some honest person
had found my purse.
Sure enough, I had a call
from Don Bates of the
Floor Trader store in
North Port. He had found
my purse.
Thank you again, Mr.
Bates, and may God bless
you as he did me, when
you found my purse.

Lightning
in a bottle?
Editor:
One must wonder if
the Council on Foreign
Relations selected Oba-
ma as a lightning bolt for
its insidious purposes -
world government.
The group, using the
Pratt House on 68th
Street in New York for
meetings, disseminates
its preference for one
world government by
inference in its Foreign
Affairs publications. It is
the power behind the
throne The Establish-
ment deciding on pol-
icies, wars and our presi-
dents. It is aware that the
sovereignty "fetish" is
very strong in the public
mind.
Why are we not being
informed about the pro-
gress on the 600-foot-
wide highway from Mex-
ico to Canada? When ru-
mors of this sneaky ruin
of our beautiful country
slipped out, no one
believed it. Shockwaves
spread throughout.
Recently, the Selous
Foundation provided a
fact sheet, with dates.
Obama's funding of $26.6
billion of the stimulus


funds for nationwide in-
frastructure allows $80
million for the Trade Cor-
ridor in Texas, for start-
ers.
An article called "The
Hard Road to World Or-
der" in a CFR publication
stated that, "The house of
world order must be built
from the bottom up an
end-run around national
sovereignty eroding it
piece by piece will
accomplish much more
than the old-fashioned

Common sense is only part of it


BY HENRY HOLZAPFEL
GUEST COLUMNIST


Recently, one of the newest mem-
bers of Venice City Council, Emilio
Carlesimo, submitted an article as a
guest columnist titled "Let Common
Sense Guide Us." What Council Mem-
ber Carlesimo fails to mention is that
the situation at Venice Municipal Air-
port is not your normal situation where
a simple common-sense approach in
itself can provide the best outcomes or
solutions.
Most would agree that the city has
spent too much time and money on
airport related issues. Unfortunately,
time and money have been necessary
to start untangling the mess that was
created years ago to correct the wrongs
of exaggerated or falsified operation
counts at the airport that got us here in
the first place.
The "small" citizens group Council
Member Carlesimo refers to is the same
"small" citizens group that disputed the
ridiculous number of flight operations
more than two years ago and helped
save our public golf course. More re-
cently, this same "small" group helped
provide valuable information and data
to DY Consultants in arriving at an ir-
refutable operation count at the Venice
airport using a variety of Federal Avi-
ation Administration-acceptable meth-
odologies, all substantiating a B-II air-
port classification.
Council Member Carlesimo stated,
"It is clear from all of our airport con-
sultant's documentation that this is a C-


II airport and always has been." To the
contrary, DY's consultants are still
scratching their heads on how the
Venice airport was ever classified a C-II
airport because the actual flight opera-
tions yesterday, today and in the future
did not and do not support a C-II clas-
sification. More important, today there
exist a number of FAA design-safety
deficiencies at the airport for a C-II
classification requiring either modifi-
cation to standards or the expenditure
of tens of millions of dollars that will
drastically change our golf course and
surrounding residential areas.
What DY Consultants is truly strug-
gling with is how to tell the FAA that
previously submitted data relating to
the Venice airport used by the FAA to
justify upgrading the airport from a B-II
to a C-II sometime in the late 1990s was
falsified and exaggerated.
At the Dec. 12 airport workshop, the
community (including VASI, VABA,
neighborhood activists, golfers and
consultants) all reached a consensus
and supported the classification of the
Venice airport as a B-II (ARC B) facility.
Common sense would suggest that
it is time for city council to direct our
consultant to complete the study based
on the B-II classification. With that plan
in hand, the city can move forward to
develop and implement the necessary
programs to maintain the highest qual-
ity of life for all Venice residents and the
safety and utility of our airport.

Wake up to
drug crisis
Editor:
I'm glad to see people
are beginning to see we
have an epidemic on our
hands. Over the last three
years I have lost friends
and almost my family
over prescription drugs.
Isn't it going to be hard
to educate young people
about something that is
being prescribed legally.
It goes beyond the peo-
ple. It starts at the FDA,
down to the doctors pre-
scribing the pills.
These doctors are
nothing less than legal
drug dealers. They are
over-medicating, and
giving lethal mixtures of
pills. They are prescrib-
ing what should be giving
to a terminally ill cancer
patient to an average Joe
like myself.
I speak from experi-
ence. I'm thankful to be
sober today through the
grace of God, and through
the rooms of A.A. and
other related programs.
So wake up Sarasota
and Charlotte counties.
We're No. 1 in deaths. It's
about time to do some-
thing about it.

SUN NEWSPAPERS 9A

Maybe a better
Haiti will arise
Editor:
When I was a child we
lived in San Pedro de
Macoris in the Domin-
ican Republic. My moth-
er was a life-long com-
pulsive do-gooder, so
while my father was sec-
onded we visited Haiti a
number of times.
I remember poor peo-
ple dressed in bright-col-
ored rags, and hovels and
wonderful art.
Unbelievably imagi-
native creative people -
the inventors of recycling
- and poor, poor, poor.
Years later, I went back
to Haiti as a tourist. I cut
short the holiday. I could
not bear to see so much
poverty. I was ashamed
that I had the money to
spend on a holiday that
would have kept several
families for several years.
Not so ashamed, howev-
er, that I didn't go to the
Iron Market and buy a lot
of mahogany and some
carvings and a wonderful
Sun God carved out of
the top of an oil drum by
a very gifted young Ha-
itian. Most of which, 40
years, later I still own.
This March I will be 81
years old, and from the
images on TV of the dis-
aster, nothing has gotten
any better than it was
when I was a child of 10
on my first visit.
Perhaps this time,
with America leading the
way and the world help-
ing, Haiti will emerge
from this catastrophic
disaster and its people
will find some peace and
a decent life.

2 Venice splits with Manatee


BY PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR


MR. SHEEPSHEAD
COLUMNIST


Now it is


time to fish

The fish are hungry. The
water will clear up. Who
knows? Maybe the bait will
even come back. Let's be
optimistic. Be patient with
the sheepies. It is still early
for our bite to start but I sus-
pect the cold weather may
start it a bit early.
They are catching sheepies
in the Tampa Bay area. We
should get a run of jacks,
ladyfish and blues any time
now. Getting back to the
sheepies, they eat many dif-
ferent things such as fiddler
crabs, sand fleas, shrimp,
oysters and clams. Some
days, the sand fleas are the
best and the next day it
could be the fiddlers. The
secret is to have at least two
different baits.
As I write this, the weather
is definitely improving. The
redfish were at Caspersen
Beach the other day as
Andy Schoener and New
York Richard (Reile) caught
several of them as well as a
few sheepies using sand
fleas and shrimp for bait.
Isn't it amazing how quick
Mother Nature can bounce
back? Just last week we were
finding dead fish all over the
place. This week is complete-
ly different.
Well, fellow Sheepshead-
ites, the time has come to say
goodbye until next week.

Two VHS players



commit to colleges


BY PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR


Two Venice High soccer players
won't be traveling too far to play soccer
at the next level as junior Dana
LaRocque and senior Colleen Murphy
have decided to remain in Florida.
LaRocque committed early to
Division I Jacksonville University while
Murphy will only be an hour away after
signing at Florida College in Tampa.
The duo have been instrumental in
two of Venice's most successful seasons
since the mid-'90s, and they were also
part of the Lady Indians' first district
title since 1994.
Dana LaRocque,
Jacksonville University
"It just felt right."
This is the simple reason why
LaRocque committed to Jacksonville


University before the end
of her junior year.
A combination of
athletic and academic
scholarships will pay for
LaRocque's education.
"I'm pretty happy with
my decision," LaRocque
LaRocque said. 'As long as nothing
else comes way better
than what I have now because I have a
really good offer now. I'm really excited
to go there. Anything can change. I still
have a year here but right now I am
looking forward to it."
Other colleges LaRocque was inter-
ested in were Savannah College of Art
and Design in Georgia, Mercer Univer-
sity, Flagler College and University of
North Carolina at Raleigh.
"I looked at several schools and had

GIRLS: Venice 59, Manatee 40
The Venice girls basketball team
charged out to a 18-0 lead in the first
five minutes and Manatee didn't have a
shot as the Lady Indians forced 10
turnovers.
The Lady 'Canes didn't score until
2:04 left in the quarter and Venice
grabbed a 20-6 first-quarter advantage.
Sophomore Juliana Cavallaro and
senior Emily Vasilevskaya had seven
points each in the quarter.
Manatee got within 11 points by
halftime, 28-17 as the Lady Indians (10-
8 overall, 5-2 district) only scored eight
points in the second quarter.
"It goes back to learning how to
put it (the game) away," said Venice
coach John Flynn. "When it's time to
finish they are not doing it. ... They


just don't know how to put the nail in
it."
In the third quarter, Venice
outscored Manatee, 14-4 over the first
five minutes to take a 42-21 lead.
"I told them I was sick and tired of
us going out there and not execut-
ing," said Flynn about his halftime
speech.
Flynn emptied his bench and gave
his substitutions plenty of minutes.
"We played a lot of young kids
tonight," said Flynn. "They got a lot of
minutes and that is really good for
us."
Venice hosts Charlotte on Thursday
night in the final regular-season home
game as the Lady Indians honor
Kirsten Walchle and Vasilevskaya with

some other offers too," said LaRocque.
LaRocque said she liked the small classroom sizes
and also wanted to stay in Florida.
"I just felt I needed to stay in Florida," said
LaRocque. "I don't like the cold at all."
"She is a top tier player who will help get JU to
the next level in the NCAA Division I," said Venice
coach Sheldon Chamberlain in an email. "Dana
can score goals inside the six or outside the 18-yard
box. She has excellent vision and game sense to
come back from up top to defend and win balls for
a counterattack. Dana will be an outstanding colle-
giate player at JU."
This season, the speedy, 5-foot-2 forward has 26
goals in 20 matches for Venice. In total, she has 60
career goals including 25 last year and 19 as a fresh-
man.
LaRocque doesn't know if she will see playing time
as a freshman.
"I am going to work my tail off to try to," said
LaRocque. "The coach (Brian Copham) said he has
a vision of where I am going to play and is very
excited."
LaRocque said she can officially sign in September.
The Dolphins, who compete in the Atlantic Sun
Conference, had a 8-7-5 overall record and 5-1-4 in


the A-Sun this season. They lost in the A-Sun semi-
finals to Kennesaw State, 1-0, in overtime. They
closed out the regular season with three wins and
four ties.
The 17-year-old, who started playing soccer 10
years ago, always wanted to play college soccer and as
she is maturing, she wanted to play at the Division I
level.
"I like scoring," said LaRocque. "That is my favorite
part about it and having a team and building with
each other. One reason is we play high school is to get
friends. Get a whole bunch of us out here and it's just
fun. We have our bad times, our good times.
Friendship, fun and love of the game is mostly why I
play."
Colleen Murphy, Florida College
Small and close to home were the big reasons why
Venice senior Colleen Murphy decided to sign on
Jan. 13 with Florida College located in Hillsborough
County.
The 5-foot-6 midfielder, who is just one of two
seniors on the Venice team, will receive a partial ath-
letic scholarship.
Florida College, who only added soccer in 2005,
competes in the Unites States Collegiate Athletic


Association. Last year, the Falcons
ended the season with a 1-12-3
record.
"It's always been my dream to go
play in college and now I will go and ful-
fill that and see where it goes from
there," said Murphy, who has been play-
ing soccer since she was 4.
Murphy Murphy was also interested in
Thomas University in Georgia.
"Colleen is a hard worker and is an outstanding
holding midfielder," Chamberlain said in an e-mail.
"She reads the game very well and adds to the distrib-
ution of the ball with good passes on the attack."
She started soccer because her older sister and
Venice High graduate, Melanie, played the sport.
"It's the best feeling away in the world and it
takes all your stress away," Murphy said about play-
ing soccer. "And it's a hard sport to be good at. It's a
challenge and I work really hard at it."
Murphy thinks the Lady Indians can go all the way
to the state championship.
"We have the heart and drive to do it and the skill,"
said Murphy.

Domestic battery
Neighbors said a man used unnec-
essary force to drag a woman into his
house, according to a Sarasota County
Sheriff's Office report.
Deputies respond-
ed to a report of do-
mestic violence Satur-
day in the 200 block of
East Colonia Lane,
Nokomis.
The victim said she
and the man were
having an argument,
but it never turned .
physical. Despite her Daniels
claim, deputies notic-
ed scratches on her right upper arm
and what appeared to be some red grip
marks on her left arm.
The man said they were arguing
when the woman went outside in her
underwear to avoid the argument. He
said he followed her outside and
grabbed her and pulled her back inside
the house.
The neighbors had a different tale to
tell. They said the man and woman
were screaming at one another when
the man used force to drag the woman
into the residence.
The deputies noted that neither the
man nor the woman was under the
influence of drugs or alcohol and there
was no past history of domestic vio-
lence.

him and threatening
him? That report ran

Richard Lewis
Richard "Dick" Lewis, 71, of Venice,
Fla., formerly of Riverside, R.I., passed
away on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010.
Born in Providence, R.I., to the late

Mr. Lewis worked for the Rhode
Island Department of Public Works as a

est accomplishments included design-
ing a logo to put on Rhode Island
bridges that is still in use today, and he
had the opportunity to oversee the con-
struction of the East Bay, R.I., Bike Path

cling that thousands of people get to
enjoy regularly.

Yolanda M. Norton
Yolanda Matilda Norton, or "Yo," as
she was known to her close personal
friends, was born in Winnipeg,
Manitoba Feb. 21, 1928, and transi-
tioned to God Monday, Jan. 18, 2010.
She was preceded in death by her
son, Ricardo Ros Y Gauthier, in 1983.
Her survivors are her husband, Chris
Norton; two sons, Chris and Ivan
(Dawn Engel) Suvanjieff; two grand-
children (Ricardo (Marcella) and Lily);
and four great-grandchildren.
She was a scratch golfer, and com-
peted in Florida, as well as setting up a
tournament in Windsor, Ontario, that
made many friends on both sides of the
Canadian border. She also was instru-
mental in teaching many people,
including her nephew Ricardo, how to
play this game well.
She was a talented artist, and loved
animals of all kinds, especially cats.
Mostly a homemaker, she served the
United States in the U.S. Consulate
Service. She is survived by many friends
and family in the United States,
Canada, the Dominican Republic and
other foreign countries.
In the home, she succeeded in creat-
ing an atmosphere where art and intel-
lectualism lived side by side and fed
each other. Music and art could be dis-
cussed on Avondale in the same venue
as chemistry and physics. There was no
difference.
The musical community in Windsor,
Ontario, can thank her for giving local
musicians a place to refine their skills,
even while the neighbors called the
Windsor Police Department on a regu-
lar basis. Many of these musicians still
perform around Windsor and other
parts of North America as well.
Further, many of the kids who
showed up at her door went on to get
advanced college degrees. Learning
and deep thought were items to be
revered. Books were meant to be dis-
cussed, and physics problems needed
to be solved. Free thought was encour-
aged.
Services: There will be a memorial
service at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 23,
at the Capri Isles Club House on
Estancias Boulevard in Venice, Fla.

Project in West


Villages delayed


BY ED SCOTT
STAFF WRITER


The downturn in the
economy has led to
troubled times for
Thomas Enterprises, the
largest developer in the
West Villages
Improvement District.
City officials say a
representative for the
developer Stan
Thomas of Newnan, Ga.
- recently retrieved
plans for a Publix super-
market that was sched-
uled to be built in The
Prado at the West
Villages, a shopping cen-
ter proposed for U.S. 41
on the west end of North
Port.
That project, which
Thomas Enterprises
spokesman Bruce Wil-
liams said several
months ago was to begin
in January, has now been
delayed due to the
downturn in the econo-
my and the lack of resi-
dential construction in
the area, according to
Publix spokesperson
Shannon Patten.
"It's almost impossi-
ble to finance any new
construction these
days," Williams said
Thursday. "We still have
a lease with Publix. We
still are going to build it.
These are the side effects
of the economy we have
now."'
Meanwhile, in No-
vember Thomas put
three of his hundreds of
properties into bank-
ruptcy protection: The
Rim, a 2-million- square-
foot shopping center in
San Antonio, Texas; Vil-
lage Pavilion in Smyrna,
Ga., and Prospect Park in
Alpharetta, Ga. Smyrna
and Alpharetta are near
Atlanta.
Williams says those
bankruptcies have no
bearing on the West Vil-
lages Improvement Dis-
trict.
"The notes matured
and there is no capital
out there at this time,"
he said. "We are working
through the court sys-
tem to come up with a
viable plan to refinance
those projects. But that
has no bearing whatso-
ever on what is going on
with Thomas Ranch and
the West Villages
Improvement District."
Normally reluctant to
speak to the media,
Thomas, 55, consented
to an interview with the
Atlanta Journal-Consti-
tution last year. He
spoke frankly about the
impact of the downturn
on his business, particu-
larly the pain associated
with layoffs that reduced
his work force from 750
employees to 50.
"Some nights I go
home and I'd like to
crawl under the bed. We
wept and cried and
cried," he said of the lay-
offs.
Textbook case
While many develop-
ers nationwide were
blindsided by the eco-
nomic downturn, Thom-
as's plight could be used
in future business text-
books as a case study of
the real estate debacle.
Thomas purchased
approximately 16,000
acres in south Sarasota
County from the Taylor
family in 2002 for $73
million, according to
Sarasota County Prop-
erty Appraiser records.
He changed the proper-
ty's name from Taylor
Ranch to Thomas Ranch
in honor of his father,
"Mr. Earl" Thomas, who
died in 1999.
The land included


about 8,000 acres in
South Venice that the
city of North Port
annexed in 2002 and
property that remained
in unincorporated South
Sarasota County.
Part of the property -
approximately 2,200
acres was sold to
Pulte Homes and be-
came Sarasota National,
a troubled South Venice
golf course community
where homes are still
being sold "and golf is
still being played," Wil-
liams said. Some 1,500
homes originally were
planned there but only
30 were built and sold,
according to a Pulte
spokesperson.
'All the homes have
gorgeous views," Wil-
liams said.
Other parts of Thom-
as Ranch also were sold,
including what are now
the North Port subdivi-
sions Gran Paradiso and
Islandwalk, whose resi-
dents will one day shop
at The Prado.
The Venetia develop-
ment on U.S. 41 and
Myakka River Trails on
River Road are proper-
ties in South Venice that
Thomas Enterprises
bought from the Taylors
and completed.
The Gran Paradiso
project has foundered.
Only 14 homes have
been built and sold in
the 1,068-acre commu-
nity designed to accom-
modate 1,999 homes. Is-
landwalk has done bet-
ter, however. Pulte has
sold approximately 300
homes in Islandwalk, an
830-acre development
presently designed for
1,869 homes.
Thomas Enterprises
has spent much of its
time and money trying
to get The Prado off the
ground and funding in-
frastructure improve-
ments by the West Vil-
lages Improvement Dis-
trict, which was created
by the state Legislature
at Thomas's request.
Doing business as
Fourth Quarter Proper-
ties, Thomas still owns
approximately 6,200
acres in the WVID and
3,800 acres in South
Venice and is current on
his WVID non-ad val-
orem assessments. The
company paid more
than $4 million to the
district for 2009 and sev-
eral million dollars be-
fore that from 2005-08.
But the downturn in
the economy is prevent-
ing Thomas Enterprises
from progressing with
The Prado and other
grand plans for the West
Villages. Thomas, a for-
mer college football
player, is concentrating
on small victories.
"The state of the West
Villages Improvement
District is fine," Williams
said. "It is functioning as
it is supposed to and
that is to sell bonds and
use the money to con-
struct infrastructure."
Williams cited both
practical and aesthetic
improvements:
*The 3 1/2 miles of
water and sewer lines
that "we ran from North
Port to the property."
The "beautiful"
landscape on U.S. 41.
The West Villages
Parkway, a road current-
ly under construction
that will connect River
Road to U.S. 41, "alleviat-
ing a lot of traffic at U.S.
41 and River Road."
The parkway will
open in late spring or
early summer, Williams
said.

Many area gardens suffered damage during last week's record cold spell.
To prune or not to prune is the question this week.
"Don't cut anything back until April 1," said Debbie Truesdale, the director of nursery operations at
Hazeltine Nurseries in Venice. "It is possible to have a freeze in March. Our rule of thumb is to do nothing
until there have been several weeks of warmer weather."
Do not prune, trim nor feed any of the plants," she added.
Truesdale said most of the plants will come back. I toured the nursery with her Friday afternoon, look-
ing at brown ixoras, brown Christmas palms, a butterfly garden that was mostly brown, and brown vines
on a pergola near the entrance. Nearly everything looked good because of the precautions taken by the
staff.
"The ixoras look the worst," she said.
When all danger of frost has passed, the ixoras will be cut back to half the size
they are now. .
Christmas palms and other self-cleaning varieties that drop branches and do .-,t
not need trimming will be left alone. The brown branches will fall to the ground 3
and new crown branches will grow, she said. If any of those varieties had frost on
the leaves for more than afew hours or over s\ -iaul .Lit ihr\ miuhi iniii mak. ii.

Humane Society seeks funds


STAFF REPORT


Suncoast Humane So-
ciety, like all nonprofit
charities, is accustomed
to facing the challenges
of raising funds to sup-
port its programs and
services. This year has
been more than a chal-
lenge; it has been a mat-
ter of the organization's
survival. Each and every
donation is absolutely
vital.
Recently, a donor pre-
sented SHS with a
unique challenge. Upon
learning of the organiza-
tion's fundraising strug-
gles, a member of the
community, who prefers
to remain anonymous,
graciously pledged
$25,000 with one stipu-
lation. The challenge to
this pledge is that the
Suncoast Humane
Society raise an addi-
tional $50,000.


Phil Snyder, executive
director, said, "We are
thrilled that we have
already received an
anonymous pledge of an
additional $25,000 from
another anonymous
donor. This means that
in keeping with the stip-
ulation of the donor's
pledge, an extra $25,000
is needed. We are reach-
ing out to the communi-
ty for needed help.
"Without these gener-
ous gifts, Suncoast
Humane society is in
jeopardy of losing
important services and
programs that benefit
both people and animals
of our communities.
"Our low-cost
spay/neuter program,
preventative health-care
clinic and pet food
pantry have helped to
keep pets in their loving
homes with their fami-
lies. This funding is


needed to ensure the
continuation of these
and other important
programs."
The sagging economy
in 2009 led to a decrease
in donations, while ris-
ing costs of maintaining
important services has
spiraled.
SHS's services and
programs are supported
solely on individual con-
tributions, wills, be-
quests and foundation
grants.
Last year alone, SHS
handled nearly 4,000
unwanted animals.
"This alone stresses
the need for a gift of this
magnitude. We cannot
fail in our charge to meet
this challenge," Snyder
said.
For more informa-
tion, contact Suncoast
Humane Society at 474-
7884 or visit www.
humane.org.


FROM SAVE THE
MANATEE CLUB


As of Dec. 4, 91 mana-
tees were killed by water-
craft in Florida during
2009, approaching the
record of 95 watercraft
deaths set in 2002.
Anecdotal reports in-
dicate the economy has
changed boating pat-
terns, keeping boaters
closer to shore to save
money on gas.
Concentrating wat-
ercraft inshore, in the
same waters inhabited
by manatees, could
help account for the
rise in mortalities, but
this is not a necessary
outcome.
Each and every boat-
er, through careful boat-
ing practices and com-
pliance with speed
zones, can greatly reduce
the number of manatee
injuries and deaths from
boat strikes.


Save the Manatee
Club members are call-
ing for boaters to slow
down in manatee habi-
tat, obey the posted
speed zones, and imme-
diately report manatee
injuries to the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Con-
servation Commission at
(888) 404-3922 so that a
timely rescue can be ini-
tiated and the manatee
can receive life-saving
treatment.
Save the Manatee
Club offers boaters and
shoreline property own-
ers free boating banners
and aluminum dock
signs to remind fellow
boaters that manatees
are present.
The welfare of individ-
ual manatees thoroughly
depends on boater com-
pliance with posted
speed zones.
It's up to all of us to
protect manatees from
unnecessary deaths caus-


ed by a propeller blade or
boat hull.
It's a simple call to
action that carries life
or death consequences
for our state's iconic, en-
dangered marine mam-
mal.
Florida's boating com-
munity can request free
waterproof boating ban-
ners, aluminum dock
signs (for shoreline prop-
erty owners) and boating
conservation posters by
contacting Save the
Manatee Club at educat
ion@savethemanatee.
org.

monthly mortality data,

Venice Regional awarded

heart failure certification


FROM VENICE
REGIONAL MEDICAL
CENTER

The Joint Commis-
sion has awarded Venice
Regional Medical Cen-
ter Disease-Specific Care
Certification for its heart
failure program.
To earn this distinction,
a disease-management
program undergoes an
extensive, on-site evalua-
tion by Joint Commission
reviewers every two years.
The program is evaluated
against Joint Commission
standards through an
assessment of a program's
processes, the program's
ability to evaluate and
improve care within its
own organization, and
interviews with patients
and staff.
"This certification
means Venice Regional
Medical Center does the
right things and does
them well for heart fail-
ure patients," said Jean E.
Range, executive direc-
tor, Disease-Specific Care
Certification, Joint Com-
mission.
"Venice Regional Med-
ical Center voluntarily
pursued this comprehen-
sive, independent evalu-
ation to enhance the
safety and quality of care
we provide," said Robin
McGuinness, chief nurs-
ing officer at the hospital.
"We are proud to achieve
this distinction." The


hospital also achieved
Stroke Center Certifica-
tion through The Joint
Commission last year.
The Joint Commission
launched its Disease-
Specific Care Certification
program in 2002. It is the
first program of its kind in
the country to certify dis-
ease management pro-
grams. A list of programs
certified by The Joint
Commission is available
at www.jointcommission.
org.
According to the
National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute, heart fail-
ure develops over time as
the pumping of the heart
grows weaker. It can affect
the right side of the heart
only or both the left and
right sides of the heart.
Most cases involve both
sides of the heart. "Heart
failure is a serious condi-
tion." McGuinness said.
'About 5 million people in
the U.S. have heart failure
and it contributes to an
estimated 300,000 deaths
each year."
Currently, there is no
cure for heart failure.
However, researchers are
finding and testing new
treatments. People who
have heart failure can live
longer and more active
lives if it's diagnosed
early and they follow
their treatment plans.
For most, treatment
includes medicines and
lifestyle measures.

Top students compete


in Academic Olympics


Literacy lauded


FROM THE EDUCATION
FOUNDATION OF
SARASOTA COUNTY


The players have been working out
all fall, jockeying for positions in prac-
tice matches. Coaches have their game
plans in hand and their game faces
ready. Everyone is ready to take to the
field, but instead of bats and balls they
are wielding buzzers and graphing cal-
culators.
It's Academic Olympics season, and
in Sarasota County the series kicks off
this week with intramural matches
between eight local high schools.
The College Bowl-style competition
is the only program for area high
schools that provides the opportunity
for competitive team efforts in acade-
mics comparable to athletics.
The competition began with match-
es at local high schools on Jan. 5. There
will be seven days of round robin com-
petitions with matches through March.
Matches begin at 3:15 p.m. and the
public is welcome. Schools require
check-in at the main office.
The Education Foundation of Sara-
sota County has produced the series in
partnership with the schools for nearly
30 years. The Sarasota and Venice
branches of the American Association
of University Women support the pro-
gram as volunteer monitors, judges,
and moderators for the matches.
The Military Officers Association of
Sarasota donates prizes for the com-
petitors. The Olympic Gold Sponsor is
the Dart Foundation. Other contribu-
tors are invited to sponsor student par-
ticipants at $100 per sponsorship.
Elizabeth Bloechl serves as program
director for the 14th consecutive year.


The young olympians are some of
Sarasota County's most academically
talented students. Each has earned a
place on his or her school team through
a rigorous competition at the school
level.
Eight teams are competing, includ-
ing a team from each of the compre-
hensive public high schools in Sarasota
County Booker, North Port, Pine
View, Riverview, Sarasota, Venice, Sara-
sota Military Academy and Cardinal
Mooney High School.
Semifinals will determine the four
finalist teams on March 9. The daylong
finals tournament will take place on
Saturday, March 13, at the Sarasota
County School Board auditorium in
The Landings.
In April, Sarasota County's Academic
Olympic All-Star Team selected by the
team coaches advances to the Florida
Education Commissioner's Academic
Challenge in Orlando. Over the years,
members of the Sarasota County teams
have won scholarships and competed
nationally with Team Florida.
Dedicated to quality education for
all children, the Education Foundation
of Sarasota County is an independent,
nonprofit organization that works in
partnership with the community and
Sarasota County public schools. With
the support of individuals, families,
companies and foundations, the Edu-
cation Foundation awards more than
$1.2 million each year to initiatives in-
cluding the TeXcellence Computer
Donation program, Teacher of the Year,
Academic Olympics, classroom grants,
fine arts programs and literacy initia-
tives.

dation.net or call 927-0965.

Florida KidCare offers low-cost child health insurance


FROM SARASOTA
COUNTY
COMMUNICATIONS

Parents are urged to
make sure their children
have health insurance in
the new year.
The Florida KidCare
program helps families
get low-cost quality health
care for their preschool
and school-age children
so health problems can be
addressed in their earli-


est treatable stage.
Florida KidCare cover-
age begins after eligibility
has been determined
and the full premium has
been paid. Premiums are
based on household size
and monthly income.
Most families pay $15 to
$20 per month. Others
may pay more and some
may be eligible for free
coverage.
Families are only re-
quired to submit one


application, which cov-
ers all Florida KidCare
programs. Parents can
apply online at www.
floridakidcare.org. This
allows faster enrollment
and may reduce the wait
time for missing infor-
mation or income docu-
mentation.
For more information
or assistance with the ap-
plication process, call the
Sarasota County Health
Department at 861-2813.

On the first Tuesday of
the month you'll find a
group of Women With Moxie
at Club 455 at the Holiday
House in Venice. Their goals
include networking, enjoy-
ing good food and having
fun. They meet from 5 to 7
p.m., giving themselves a
chance to relax before going
home from work.
Any woman knows a get-
together is always more fun
when there is shopping in-
volved. Susan Viteri, owner
of Glitz-That's It, set up a jew-
elry boutique at the get-
together, giving everyone a
chance to purchase some
bling or a wonderful import-


ed scarf.
Sandra Finger gets a tip of
the hat for bringing the Sara-
sota-based group to Venice.
Membership is around 70
and growing.
If you are interested in their
kind of fun in the sun, the
Women With Moxie would
like to meet you at their next
gathering, on Feb. 9.
Teacher meet-and-greet
Fabric crafters and
"scrapters" met at an open
house at Deborah's Quilt
Basket on Venice Avenue to
meet teachers and share
ideas. Everyone there knew
you can never have enough
fabric, and now thanks to
Janine Ward, they know you
can't have enough scraps.
She teaches a scrap-
happy series giving women
a chance to reuse and recy-
cle fabric. She makes gor-
geous multi-strand beaded
cord necklaces.
Debbie Jones showed off
her jewelry, greeting cards
and fabric seascape decollage.
Betty Jo Schiell answered
questions. She teaches
beginning quilting. Carolyn

an. 11, with a few other Florida travel writers, I
enjoyed a hard-hat tour of the new Dali Museum,
nearing completion next to the Mahaffey Theatre
in St. Petersburg. Designed by Yann Weymouth, the
building's design would make Dali happy even as it
protects his priceless creations during a category
5 hurricane.
Giving a Daliesque twist to the geodesic dome
designs of Buckminster Fuller, Weymouth's plan
incorporates a 3-D ribbon of triangle-shapes of thick
glass flowing from the Mahaffey side of the building to
the bayside where the glass explodes into two side-by-
side bubbles of still more glass triangles. One bubble
will soar above the building. Weymouth said that no
two triangles are the same size nor are any two pieces
of the steel edging the glass triangles. That sparkly
space, made possible by computer imaging systems,
will be centered by a spiral staircase of concrete.
This building must be seen to be believed. Hurricane
protection was the first consideration of museum
director Dr. Hank Hine. He got that and so much more
in what is sure to be considered one of the most
stunning museums in the country if not the world.
Although the grand opening will not be until Jan. 11,
2011, occasional road trips to St. Petersburg are in
order. Visit www.thedali.org.

My daughter took a break from her senior year
at Northeastern University this past weekend
to celebrate her 23rd birthday.
She and her friends decided that they wanted to
play bingo get some cards, get a dauber and get
five in a row or so they thought.
They learned that in order to win bingo you need
"picnic baskets," "horseshoes," or "cover all," depend-
ing on the game being played. There are also
computerized cards that can be purchased.
They realized that marking the cards as the
number/letter combinations are being called takes
attention and skill.
Although she didn't win, she came home with
a new respect for the game priceless.
Try out bingo at Charlotte Harbor Bingo, 4200

Aircraft 'invasion' kicks off



Warbirds weekend


BY SHARE DERRICKSON
SUN CORRESPONDENT
Saturday morning, don't be sur-
prised when the skies fill with the
roar of aircraft as they signal the
beginning of the Florida Warbirds
fundraising weekend. Individual pilots,
Greg Rineer, a supporter of the Wound-
ed Warrior Project said, have volun-
teered to fly from Charlotte County
Airport to Rotunda and back. "It will be
amazing," he said, adding that as many
as 50 aircraft may join in.
Many of the aircraft will then be on
static display as part of the Florida
Warbirds, Experimental Aircraft Associa-
tion (EAA) Weekend on both January 23
and 24. The display is not just an
opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to
wander around a large exhibit of military
aircraft from many eras it is an
opportunity to raise funds for several
causes close to the organization's heart.
Proceeds of the inaugural event to be
held at the Charlotte County Airport, Jim
"Zack" Olzacki, president and comman-
der of the EAA Florida Warbirds
Squadron 24 said, will benefit the
Wounded Warriors Project, the Special
Operations Warrior Foundation, and the
Young Eagles, an organization that
promotes aviation to young people.
"Our focus for this event are these
organizations," he said adding many
people may not be familiar with the
Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
"It is a foundation created to make
available to children of deceases special
operations warriors who have died in
combat and left their families much
monetary benefit. It also helps put their
children through college."
The event, he said, is sure to have a
"wow factor," as attendees view a variety
of aircraft like the C-47, P-51 Mustang,
Yak-P, and F4F Wildcat.
Visitors will also be able to take a ride
in the Valiant Air Command C-47, "Tico
Belle," a World War II aircraft of the
Normandy Invasion. Seats for this are
limited and must be reserved in
advance. The cost is $175 per person.
"People can call 941-639-6187 to

he said.

Carrabba's of Port Charlotte and the
cash bar by Dean's South of the Border
in Punta Gorda. Admission to the dinner
and dance evening is $35 donation per
person and that includes a one-day pass

The static display will start Saturday
at noon to 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sunday, Jan. 24. Admission is a


donation of $8 per person or $15 per
family. Disabled military veterans with a

Disney has a deal for residents


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Disney is rewarding its friends and
neighbors this year.Following the
announcement of its program to
issue a free ticket for a day of volunteer-
ing, the Imagineers at the Walt Disney
World Resort have created a super
deal for Florida residents a 4-day
Dream Pass.
Good through May 25, the pass allows
residents to visit any of Disney's four
Florida parks for four days. Spend a day
in the Magic Kingdom, the next day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, take a
break for a week or so, if desired and
then return for one or two more days of
fun at the Animal Kingdom and/Epcot.
The choice is yours.
All four parks tend to be less crowded
this time of year (with the exception of
spring break), making it an ideal time to
easily experience all the attractions in
each of the parks without the hassle of
the long lines of spring and summer.
At just $99 plus tax, this is one of the


best Disney bargains to surface in years.
One-day tickets are currently priced at
$79 plus tax and up, depending on
options chosen. Options include the
ability to park hop and/or to add a water
park or to purchase a multi-day ticket
with no expiration date.
Visitors can use the pass on any four
days from now through May 25 except
for the March 27-April 9 blackout period.
Visit any park but just one park per day.
Spend four days straight at WDW or visit
on four separate days. The special pass
must be purchased by May 21 and proof
of Florida residency is required. Passes
are not transferable and exclude special
events requiring special admission
tickets but do include such special
events as the International Flower &
Garden Festival at Epcot, which is
included with regular park admission.
For information, visit
www.disneyworld.com/99.
For resort reservations which include
free transportation to the parks,
call 407-W-DISNEYcom.

Performing arts center


clears final hurdle


BY GREG GILES
STAFF WRITER
t didn't take much convincing for
Venice City Council to approve final
agreements for the planned perform-
ing arts center on the Venice High
School campus.
The council voted unanimously at its
last meeting to approve an interlocal
agreement with the Sarasota County
School Board and a fee agreement
between effected parties.
"Upsizing that school auditorium will
give citizens a first-class performance
center at a cost savings to your citizens,"
said Sarasota County Schools Chief
Financial Officer Scott Lempe.
Lempe said the $12.8 million center
will have a stage four times the size of
that found in a high school auditorium.
Council Member John Moore said the
same documents that City Council
members were approving were crafted
10 years ago at North Port High and
"have withstood the test of time."
He thanked civic organizations like the


Venice Area Chamber of Commerce
who promoted the community perfor-
mance center.
"Everybody had their eye on the
target," Moore said. "You know, this is
just the most incredible opportunity for
the city of Venice. This vote is the most
exciting of my seven years here."
A small audience of supporters broke
into applause upon the unanimous vote
approving the documents.
The performing arts center will be part
of the new Venice High School, a $90
million project that will be built in
phases. The center is part of the last
phase, set to open in 2015.
Venice arts groups including the
symphony, concert band and numerous
vocal groups will share use of the new
center with the high school.
The 1,000-seat performing arts center
is molded after a similar center at North
Port High School, which is also shared
by the city and school. The city of Venice
will contribute $7.5 million to the project
over four years.

mansion through Feb. 23.


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Newly opened in the Museum
of Botany and the Arts within
the former Christy Payne
Mansion at Marie Selby Botanical
Gardens is an exhibit of fabric art
by Angela Maria Isaza.
On view through Feb. 23, the
special show provides a place to
escape the chilly days experienced
recently while still enjoying the
wonderful gardens along
Sarasota Bay.
Inspired by the diversity of plants
found within the gardens, the artist
has primarily used batik, which was
created in the East, in countries
such as Thailand and Bali.
Batik is an ancient technique in
which artists use hot wax to seal
certain areas of fabric from dyes
used in later steps. When the wax is
finally removed, what remains is a
design in the color of the fabric. Very
intricate designs can be created in
this manner.
According to information from


Selby Gardens, the artist is from
Columbia, South America, and was
inspired by the tropical forests in the
Andes Mountains as well as by the
tropical flowers and plants she has
discovered in Florida.
Plan to spend several hours to
explore the gardens, the orchid
house, the koi fish in their pond, the
butterfly garden opposite the
museum, the Sho-Fu bonsai exhibit,
the tropical fruit garden, the banyan
trees and the bamboo groves near
the former Selby home and also
along the bayfront walk. There is
food service both inside and outside
at the former Selby home.
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is
located at 900 S. Palm Ave.,
Sarasota.
Admission is $17 per person for
adults and $6 for children ages
6-11. The site is open from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. daily except Christmas.
Saturday, Jan. 30, there will be no
charge to visit. For information, call
941-366-5731 or visit

'Chair-ity' Chair Auction
Over 25+ volunteers who are cancer survivors, care givers or friends of
cancer patients have teamed together to makeover 20 chairs over a series of 6
classes (starting before Christmas)given by Patt Bacon of the Visual Art Center,
to create a "masterpiece" for the 1st Annual Chair-ity" Chair Auction Event co

ed disease. Participants took a plain and sometimes broken chair and have
repaired them, painted and decorated them and turned them into flights of
fantasy. These 20 chairs will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The chairs
themselves will be brought to the Visual Art Center on Tuesday evening

Comedian Bobby Collins

is coming to Visani


PROVIDED BY VISANI COMEDY
DINNER THEATER

Bobby Collins has a job that people
always laugh at. As one of today's
leading and most sought-after
comedic talents, his heartfelt humor
engages audiences with a clever
blend of characterizations
and hilarious observa-
tions that everyone
can relate to.
He takes the
funny business
very seriously --
from starring in his s
own Showtime
Special and being
Rosie O'Donnell's
predecessor pick to host
VH1's "Stand-up Spotlight," to
opening for such names as Cher, Dolly
Parton, Julio Inglesis and Tony Bennett,
to name a few. Topping Collins' first
comedy CD On The Inside that show-
cased his wide-ranging observational
material, his second Out Of Bounds,
earned a Grammy nomination.
While live stage performances in New


York, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City are
forever expanding his list of faithful
followers, he has also appeared
in five feature films and numerous
television shows.
Growing up in a large family in a
rough neighborhood of Queens, NY,
Collins knew he wanted to be a
comedian when everyone
gathered to watch the Ed
Sullivan show and the
laughs never ceased.
"At school I was a
total class clown," he
n' recalls.
S. "I used my wit and
humor to get out of
i fights and doing
homework." Bobby Collins
is the most requested comic
heard daily on XM and Sirius
Satellite radio.
Collins will be performing at 7 p.m.
Sunday at Visani Comedy Theater.
Tickets cost $26.75 and can be ordered
in advance by calling 941-629-9191.
Visani Comedy Dinner Theater is
located at 2400 Kings Highway For

'Sly Fox' is over the top in silliness'


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Prepare to laugh almost too much at
Larry Gelbart's "Sly Fox," now
running on the main stage at
Venice Theatre.
Playing through the end of the month,
this farce about Foxwell Sly who would
take everything he can from his lawyer,
accountant and a captain while hinting to
each that he will leave them all his earthly
belongings. Proof that one should never
try to con a con man (or woman), there
are plenty of silly twist and turns and even
pitfalls. Actually there might have been a


few too much silliness going on if the
script was anything like Gelbart's more
subtle yet incredibly funny TV series,
"M*A*S*H."
Director Murray Chase seemed to pull
out all the stops in an attempt to earn
laughs. Given the cast of characters
played by the likes of Neil Kasanofsky as
Sly, Ron Myroup as Lawyer Craven, Steve
Credeur as Abner Truckle, Jack Rabito as
Jethro Crouch, Candace Sullivan as Miss
Fancy and Stacy Gilson as Mrs. Truckle
less might have been more. Bennett
Gross, as the court clerk, had one of the
smaller parts, but possibly earned the


biggest laugh with one little remark near
the end of the show. Ken Fromer also
made the most of a smaller part as the
Chief of Police. Ray Burroughs, Kyle
Luckett, Ali McManamy and Patrick
Mounce completed the strong cast.
Scenic designer David Lynn-Jones
created a set that could be transformed to
many locales with the help of a strong stage
crew. Nicholas Hartman's costume designs
were delightful, especially for Mr. Sly
Venice Theatre is at 140 W. Tampa
Ave., on the island in downtown Venice.
Tickets are $24 per person for adults and
$12 for students. Performances are


PHOTO COURTESY OF VENICE THEATRE
Candice Sullivan as Miss Fancy and Neil
Kasanofsky as Foxwell J. Sly play on
each other's greedy natures in Venice
Theatre's production of "Sly Fox."

"Reflections" takes a

musical look the '60s


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Newly opened in Florida Studio
Theatre's Goldstein Cabaret
Theatre is "Reflections," a nostal-
gic look at the '60s.
Featuring Broadway performers Job
Christenson and Robert Fowler plus
New Yorker actresses Melissa Fleming
and Natalie Renee, the two-act musical
review was created inhouse at FST by
FST Artistic Director Richard Hopkins,
Managing Director Rebecca Langford
and Resident Pianist Jim Prosser.
Directed and choreographed by Bill
Castellino, the delightful music showcas-
es the combined voices of the four
singer/dancers while also showcasing
their individual strengths.


Robert Fowler has an ingratiating
smile and stage presence that nearly
steals the show especially with his
Stevie Wonder song, "Living for the City."
Natalie Renee nearly got a standing
ovation for her delivery of the Nina
Simone hit "Feeling Good" and Melissa
Fleming scored on "Heat Wave," backed
up by the rest of the cast.
Longtime FST costumer has moved to
Houston but freelancer Nicole Wee rose
to the occasion with such 60s attire as
Jackie Kennedy shift dresses for the
women, a black damask suit for Fowler
and a piped jacket with a Beatles look
for Christenson.
Prosser was delightful on the piano.
"Reflections" continues through March
20 in the Goldstein Cabaret, 1241 N.

BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
As Galileo proved the earth is round,
the Asolo Rep's production of the
David Edgar translation of Berthold
Brecht's "The Life of Galileo" proves the
depth of talent within that company.
Consider that it has been 400 years
since Galileo discovered, with the aid of a
telescope, that the earth is round, and 40
years since man landed on the moon. The
first discovery forced men to rethink their
theory that Earth was the center of the
universe. The Church did not take kindly to
Galileo's writings, lest the status of the
church and the Pope be diminished in the
eyes of mankind should Earth's status be
reduced to that of simply another orb in
the solar system.
Directed by Asolo Rep's Artistic Director
Michael Donald Edwards, "Galileo" offers
brilliant acting by Paul Whitworth in the
lead role of Galileo Galilei and great
support from the likes of Carolyn Michael
as Mrs. Sarti; Douglas Jones as Bursar of
Padua, Cardinal Barberini and Pope
Urban VIII; Michael Joseph Mitchell as
Sagredo and Cardinal Bellarmini; James
Clark as Federzoni; Hannah Rose
Goalstone as Galileo's daughter Virginia;
Craig Weiskerger as Lord Chamberlain;
Jason Bradley as the Cardinal Inquisitor,
Sam Osheroff as the Little Monk, Kevin
Stanfa as Andrea Sarti as a man; and Don
Walker as the Old Cardinal. The entire
third year class of the FSU/Asolo Conser-
vatory for Actor Training enriched dance


PHOTO COURTESY OF ASOLO REPERTORYTHEATRE
Kevin Stanfa as Andrea Sarti as a man and
Paul Whitworth as Galileo Galilei in the Asolo
Rep production of Berthold Brecht's '"The Life
of Galileo" in the MertzTheatre through
Feb. 17. It is presented in rotating repertory.

and choral numbers which added still
more to what may be one of the most
interesting and stimulating productions
during the Edwards era, which began with
his outstanding pre-Broadway production
of "Tale of Two Cities."
Clint Ramos' sets and costumes,
including magnificent papal clothing and
projections by Dan Scully were frosting on
cake rich in ingredients.
Running in rotating repertory in the
Mertz Theatre through Feb. 17, "The Life
of Galileo" was nearing sell-out status as
this review was written last week. Tickets
are $13-$60 per person. Call the box office
at 941-351-8000, 800-361-8388 or order
online at www.asolo.org.
The Mertz Theatre is at 5555 North
Tamiami Trail, within the FSU Center for
Performing Arts, Sarasota.

Alvin and the Chipmunks:
The Squeakquel (G) B
Now in the care of Dave Seville's
nephew (Zachary Levi), Alvin, Simon
and Theodore take a break from pop-
music stardom and return to school.
Almost immediately, the tiny tunesmiths
are given the giant task of saving their
school's music program by winning a
battle of the band's contest. Though the
boys think winning the contest will be
easy, romantic and musical sparks fly
when they meet Brittany, Eleanor and
Jeannette also known as The
Chipettes.


Avatar (PG-13) A-
Avatar takes us to a spectacular
world beyond imagination, where a
reluctant hero embarks on an epic
adventure, ultimately fighting to save
the alien world he has learned to call
home. James Cameron, the Oscar-
winning director of "Titanic," first
conceived the film 15 years ago, when
the means to realize his vision did not
exist yet. Now, after four years of
production, AVATAR, a live action film
with a new generation of special
effects, delivers a fully immersive
cinematic experience of a new kind,
where the revolutionary technology
invented to make the film disappears
into the emotion of the characters and
the sweep of the story.


The Book of Eli (R) A-
In the not-too-distant future, across
the wasteland of what once was
America, a lone warrior (Washington)
must fight to bring civilization the
knowledge that could be the key to its
redemption and save the future of
humanity.


Extraordinary
Measures (PG)
John Crowley (Brendan
Fraser) is a man on the corpo- _j
rate fast-track, with a beautiful ]/
wife (Keri Russell) and three
children. Just as his career is
taking off, his two youngest
children are diagnosed with a
fatal disease. John leaves his job and
devotes himself to saving their lives. He
joins forces with Dr. Robert Thornhill


TO IVIU'


(Harrison Ford), a brilliant but uncon-
ventional scientist. Together the two
men battle the medical and business
establishments as they race
against time to find a cure.


Hoodwinked 2:
Hood vs. Evil (PG) C
A teenage Red Riding Hood trains in
a distant land with a mysterious, covert
group called Sisters of the Hood. She is
then called upon by Nicky Flippers -
head of the Happily Ever After Agency
- who teams her with the Wolf to
investigate the disappearance of
Hansel and Gretel.


Invictus (PG-13) A-
With the fall of apartheid in South
Africa, Nelson Mandela (Morgan
Freeman) tries to unite his countrymen
and bring peace by bringing the Rugby
World Cup to his country.


It's Complicated (R) B
Jane (Streep) is the mother of three
grown kids, owns a thriving Santa
Barbara bakery/restaurant and has-
after a decade of divorce-an amicable
relationship with her ex-husband,
attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane
and Jake find themselves out of town
for their son's college graduation, things
start to get complicated. An innocent
meal together turns into the unimagin-
able-an affair. With Jake remarried to
the much younger Agness (Lake Bell),
Jane is now, of all things, the other
woman. Caught in the middle of their
renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an
architect hired to remodel Jane's
kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his
own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but
soon realizes he's become part of a
love triangle.Should Jane and Jake
move on with their lives, or is love truly
lovelier the second time around?
It's... complicated.


Leap Year (PG) C
When yet another anniversary
passes by without a marriage proposal
from her boyfriend, Anna (Amy Adams)
decides to take action. Aware of an
Irish tradition that allows women to pop
the question on February 29th, Anna
plans to follow her lover to Dublin and
ask him to marry her. Fate
has other plans,

Anna winds up on the other side of the
Emerald Isle with a handsome, but
surly, Irishman named Declan -
who may just lead Anna down the
road to true love.


Nine (PG-13) B
Famous film director Guido Contini
(Daniel Day-Lewis) grapples with epic
crises in his personal and professional
life. At the same time, he must strike a
balance among the demands of the
numerous women in his life, including
his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress
(Penelope Cruz), and his confidant
(Judi Dench) .


Old Dogs (PG) C
Two best friends one unlucky-in-
love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the
other a fun-loving bachelor (John
Travolta) have their lives turned
upside down when they're unexpectedly
charged with the care of six-year-old
twins while on the verge of the biggest
business deal of their lives. The not-so-
kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their
efforts to take care of the twins, leading
to one debacle after another, and
perhaps to a new-found understanding
of what's really important in life.


The Princess

city of them all, New Orleans. "The
Princess and the Frog" marks Disney's

volunteers to babysit when Gillian is
called away, but the operation hits a
snag when one of the kids mistakenly
downloads a top-secret formula, and a
Russian terrorist takes aim at
Bob's prospective family.

BY CHUCK BALLARO
SUN CORRESPONDENT
any people have left Visani with
smiles on their faces, and not just
because of the comedians who
perform there.
Visani, on 2400 Kings Highway in Port
Charlotte, can't be missed. It's the
building that looks like a castle. It also
makes its best effort to treat you like a
king while dining there.
Visani offers a first-class dining
experience, regardless of whether you

Mark Asciutto, owner of Visani, wanted
more than just a restaurant when he
fulfilled his dream of owning a restaurant
in 2005. He wanted to fill a void at a time
Charlotte County needed it.
"I wanted to bring entertainment and
that was badly needed in Charlotte
County," Asciutto said. "There was never a
true comedy club, just poor attempts at it."
As for the architecture?
"Everything was drab and I wanted to
make a statement," Asciutto said. "This is
Kings Highway, and I wanted to see the
expression of those who saw the castle.
This was the first place built after Charley.
It was something the town needed."


Asciutto said the place opened as a
comedy club with a nice restaurant
and became a great restaurant with a
comedy club. You can go for just a meal,
or follow it with great entertainment.
Visani's menu is mainly Italian, but they
also offer what many residents have
called "the best steaks in Charlotte
County," Asciutto said.
You start with "The Prelude," delicious
appetizers such as fried calamari,
mussels Amafitana and stuffed mush-
rooms made from a family recipe.
Then comes "The Main Attraction."
Visani's chicken parmesan, cordon bleu,
and a la vodka, aren't exotic, but their
freshness make them rival anything
your mother made.
Their "Headliners" feature some of
their finest beef offerings in the area,
and "The Side Show," is for those who
want a little something to go with
dinner.
You can also ask for one of Visani's
specialty pizzas, which can be
enjoyed as an appetizer or as a meal
for one.
"The Finale," features the new "Death
by Chocolate" and the "Chocolate
Lover's Sundae," created by Asciutto's


Visani has a full-service bar, a perfect place to go during a performance.


10-year-old son.
"He invented a sundae at home that
was so good we used it," Asciutto said.
"Not many kids have input on a menu."
But it's the entertainment that sepa-
rates Visani from the rest, featuring "The
Comedy Zone," where many of the
nation's hottest comics come to perform
four nights a week.
Among those who have performed
there are Gallagher and Tommy Chong.
Jimmie Walker is scheduled there in
February.
They also feature live music on


Tuesday and special events. They also
handle everything from weddings and
quinceneras to corporate events.
There is also a murder mystery night
coming, along with a wacky "Tina's
Wedding" play.
It's all part of the grand plan of food
and fun.
"I want them to feel like they're in Las
Vegas for one night," Asciutto said. "Ironic
when you have video slot machine
parlors on every corner."

Keep onlookers

BY MARIE MERCHANT
ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Have you ever wondered if
someone is looking over
your shoulder trying to see
or worse steal personal informa-
tion displayed on your computer
screen? The 3M Notebook Privacy
Filter solves this problem.
The smoky-colored filter easily
slides in front of the screen of your
laptop/desktop or attaches to the
frame of the monitor with sticky
tabs, depending on the angle the
screen is used.
Wondering eyes can only see a
completely dark screen from an
angle. It does filter out a little of the
screen's lighting for the user, but it
is not bothersome.
The darkened view from the side
prevents the curious from seeing
personal information, helping to
prevent identity theft.

Charlotte High Theatre to

present 'Ordinary People'


PROVIDED BY CHARLOTTE
HIGH THEATER DEPARTMENT
Charlotte High School's award
winning Theatre Department
is proud to present
Nancy Gilsenan's stage
adaptation of Ordinary
People, based on the .
book by Judith Guest.
The book was previ-
ously made famous by 1
Robert Redford's *n
Oscar winning film.
"Ordinary People" will
be performed in the
intimate venue of the Bla:-k
Box Theatre in Charlotte High
School's Performing Arts Center. The
show runs from Thursday through
Saturday with evening performances and
a Saturday matinee.
"Ordinary People" explores the
aftermath of a son's accidental death
and the emotional damage it inflicts on
the remaining family members. Conrad
Jarrett had an older brother named
Buck, and now Buck is gone. What's left
of young Conrad's family, with his
successful well-intentioned father and his
beautiful, organized and remote mother,
is in terrible jeopardy, as is Jarrett
himself. They are all "ordinary people"
and each is fighting a hard battle. This
play goes to the essence of a young
man, his friends and family, their relation-
ships and survival. It portrays the anxiety,
despair and joy that are common to
every human experience. If Conrad, his


family and friends are ordinary people,
why then, so are we.
Charlotte High School has chosen to
present this play in the
smaller, more unstruc-
lured space of the
.........................Black Box Theatre
rather than on the
mainstage. In this
space, the
audience is close
Tto and surrounds
the acting area,
allowing them to be
drawn into this powerful
,ee. The actors and
directors are excited about this
special form of theatre, which has not
been utilized since the 2007 perfor-
mance of "The Miracle Worker."
Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5
for students and are available at the box
office of the Charlotte Performing Arts
Center at 701 Carmalita St.,Punta
Gorda.
Evening performances at at
7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
There is also a 2 p.m. matinee on
Saturday.
Seating in the Black Box Theatre is
limited to 120 and will be on a first come
basis.
"Ordinary People" contains mature
situations in a realistic manner and is
therefore rated PG13.
For more information, call
941-505-show (7469).
