County to try cure-all baseball meeting


BY CAROL SAKOWITZ
STAFF WRITER


The all-day Sarasota County
Commission meeting Friday
focusing on the $31.2 million
agreement bringing the Bal-
timore Orioles to Ed Smith
Stadium for the next 30 years
has been called many things -
a legal maneuver, a cure meet-
ing, a charade even an
absurd exercise.
But unless Sarasota County
comes to an agreement with
the two citizens groups suing it
for alleged Sunshine Law vio-
lations, the case heads to the
12th Judicial Circuit Court.
There, a judge could uphold or

On the agenda Friday are 10
baseball-related items under
the general heading "Financial
Planning." Eight pertain to the
July 22 memorandum of un-
derstanding with the Orioles
that was approved 4-1 (with
then-commission chair Jon
Thaxton dissenting), and to
later actions the memoran-

items, however, relate to the

was filed by attorney Andrea

A solar window of opportunity

electrical usage by half.

Meet solar ambassador
Vern Montgomery. He didn't
start out that way. In fact, Tri-
County Air Conditioning
president Billy Swanson, who
installed Montgomery's 22-
kilowatt solar array, called
him a naysayer.
Not anymore.
It started when Swanson,
Montgomery's neighbor, said
he wanted to make him the
first commercial installation
in Venice. Swanson hired a


former employee turned sol-
ar engineer to expand his
business and make up for the
slow economy.
Swanson put a 5-kilowatt
system on his own house and
installed a 22-kilowatt system
on his building out by PGT
industries. Since then he's
installed 1.27 megawatts of
solar energy.
Swanson educated Mont-
gomery, owner of Montgom-
ery's Carpets Plus Colortile
Inc., on the finances. Mont-
gomery couldn't believe what
he was hearing.


It would cost $147,000 for
the installation, less an
$88,000 Florida solar rebate
he would receive in six to nine
months, less $50,000 in a one-
time federal tax credit. Mont-
gomery would also be eligible
to write off depreciation costs
to the tune of $25,000 annual-
ly for six years.
The way Montgomery sees
it, he is getting $163,000 in
rebates and tax breaks on a
$147,000 installation.
"How am I going to say'no'
when you pay $150,000 and
get $160,000 back?" Mont-


gomery said.
Other than Swanson's own
business, it reportedly became
the first commercial installa-
tion in Venice.
'No brainer'
Every day at noon Mont-
gomery makes the rounds of
the solar inverter boxes locat-
ed in his commercial storage
facility to see how many kilo-
watts he saved.
His wife Beverly, whom
Vern calls "Mother Earth," is

plan changes

BY GREG GILES
NEWS EDITOR

Mayor Ed Martin announc-
ed Tuesday a major hurdle has
been cleared toward finalizing
the city's comprehensive plan.
The Sarasota County Com-
mission sent a letter to the
Florida Department of Com-
munity Affairs this week saying
it approves of the draft city
comprehensive plan.
"There is a light at the end of
the tunnel," Martin said.
"That's a big, big step ... that
the county agreed to our latest
changes," agreed General Man-
ager of Development Services
Tom Slaughter.
It was a major stumbling
block that required resolution
before the state would approve
the plan. County commission-
ers essentially acquiesced to
the city's plan, saying the city's
lower density requirements,
which are in the lower end of
the density spectrum agreed to
earlier by the county, fall with-
in its approved range.
The city hopes to send its
final draft to DCA by mid-April,
followed by another 45-day
DCA compliance review.
"There will be some roll-up-
your-sleeves work," said
Slaughter. "One of the neat
things about your appoint-
ments is you do represent a
more broad geography and dif-
ferent types of neighborhoods
we live in ... (that are more re-
flective of) citizen expecta-
tions."
His first goal is to get a cal-
endar of projects together,
determine priorities, then hold
special meetings to train com-
mission members.
"We need to close the learn-
ing curve," Slaughter said.
New chair
Environmentalist Laurel
Schiller, who has previous ex-
perience on the Sarasota County
Planning Board and chaired the
city of Venice Environmental
Task Force, took over the reigns
as chair of a newly constituted
Venice Planning Commission
on Tuesday. Barry Snyder was
elected vice chair.
The commission, which held
only a few meetings during the
past half year due to a lack of
work, for the first time is now
entirely filled by appointees of

County's 'green' map lists environmental choices


FROM SARASOTA COUNTY

Sarasota County's numer-
ous green resources can now
accurately be described as
being all over the map the
Sarasota County Green Map,
that is.


Already famed for its
beautiful beaches and cul-
ture, the area is also cultivat-
ing a rich collection of envi-
ronmentally friendly activi-
ties, organizations and facili-
ties. Those resources can
now be searched at


www.scgov.net/greenmap.
The Sarasota County
Green Map is a collaborative
effort of Sarasota County
government and SCOPE, and
is part of an award-winning
global Green Map move-
ment, developed first by


Wendy Brawer for New York
City 15 years ago to encour-
age environmental aware-
ness and sustainability con-
sciousness. Today, there are
more than 400 Green Map
projects in 51 countries to
help people locate sustain-


able urban and rural places
and institutions.

Give 'em up
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office wants you to
give up your guns voluntarily on Saturday, from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the South County Sheriff's Office,
4531 State Road 776, Venice.
Wendy Rose, community affairs manager for the
SCSO, said she was surprised by the variety of reasons
people parted with their guns when the office held its
first turn-in event a few months ago.
"Some were people who had had the guns forever
and had been looking for a safe way to dispose of
them," she said. "New fathers also were turning their
guns in now that there was a child in the house."
Rose said some older people realized the guns
could be a safety issue when their grandchildren vis-
ited or if someone broke into their homes.
This is an anonymous gun turn-in event.
Functional firearms are accepted. Participants receive
a $50 gift card for each weapon they turn in. To make
the event as safe as possible, citizens are asked to
abide by the following procedures:
Make sure the gun is not loaded before leaving
the house.
Place the gun in a gun case, if possible, in a secure
area of the car, such as the trunk.
When you arrive at the event a deputy will meet
you in the parking lot. The deputy will take the
weapon and escort you to the area where gift cards are
being distributed.
The community Gun Turn-in is sponsored by Gulf
Coast Community Foundation of Venice, Beall's De-
partment Stores, Beall's Outlet, Jackson & Associates
General Contractors, Florida Winefest & Auction,
EO.C.U.S., Gold Coast Eagle Distributing and the
Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
"No tax dollars are used to fund this event," Rose
said. "All of the gift cards were purchased with money
from the above community resources."

A Feb. 3 story on the planned Legacy Trail over-
pass misspelled the name of Rose Marie Martini.
City Manager Isaac Turner's position was incor-
rectly reported in the Feb. 13 edition.
An article in the Feb. 13 edition referred to the 1-
mill school tax to be voted on in March as a tax
increase. The tax has been in place for eight years,
and continuing it would not increase a property
owner's taxes.

Sunshine," according to the
2009 edition of "Govemment-
in-the-Sunshine Manual."
In Sarasota County's case,
Harrison said, to the extent the
commission took action, the
same commission has to con-
vene "now, in the Sunshine
and properly noted, and effec-


tively make new decisions." If
the commission ratifies its de-
cisions, or discusses and
changes them, or takes no
action, "then the previous vio-
lation is cured," he said.
One item under Financial
Planning will have the county
commission consider ratifying
its hiring of Barrett Sports
Group LLC for consulting ser-
vices in the Boston and Bal-
timore negotiations. Another
item will consider the hiring of
Jacobs, Chase, Frick, Kleinkopf
and Kelley LLC for consulting
services in negotiations with
the two clubs.
"If I'm a county attorney
advising (my commission) to
have a meeting to cure Sun-
shine Law violations, I might


as well go back and cure (all
aspects)," Harrison said. "I
might as well take the conserv-
ative approach and go as far
back in time as (needed).
"Let's just fix the whole
thing. Might as well ratify
everything, and then you're
done."

'Charade'
Michael Barfield, a consul-
tant to Mogensen and spokes-
man for the citizens groups,
said that Friday's meeting is
"nothing short of a ceremonial
admission of guilt."
"It's like getting caught with
your hand in the cookie jar and
rewriting the script about how
you didn't stick your hand in
the cookie jar," he said. "(It's)


an effective legal strategy:
Plead guilty and hope for a
lenient sentence."
On July 22, Barfield was one
of the speakers during the
public portion of the meeting.
"We don't intend to partici-
pate in this charade," he said of
Friday's meeting.
Cathy Antunes, president of
Sarasota Citizens for Re-
sponsible Government, said
she also will not speak Friday.
In an e-mail, she restated the
group's position that it doesn't
recognize the baseball con-
tract as legitimate.
Additionally, she said, "The
county commission has made
it clear that they intend to
uphold the contract; the coun-
ty attorney has told the com-


mission that a negative vote
would be a breach of contract."
She notes Thaxton (who has
been the lone negative base-
ball vote among commission-
ers) might vote in the affirma-
tive this time.
If Thaxton votes "yes," she
said, that "showcases how ri-
diculous the county's 'cure' is."
"It is an absurd exercise,
with a predetermined out-
come," Antunes said.
The meeting is set for 9 a.m.
Friday at the Sarasota County
Administration Center, 1660
Ringling Blvd., Sarasota. Meet-
ings can be watched live on
Access Sarasota, Comcast 19 or
Verizon FiOs 32.

PHOTO COURTESY OF VENICE MAINSTREET INC.
An employee of Southwest Valet prepares to park the car of a cus-
tomer using the free downtown parking service operating on West
Venice Avenue.



Two extra days



of valet parking


BY ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

Due to popular demand, free
valet parking service downtown
is being extended to six days a
week.
Sponsored by Venice Main-
Street Inc. and financially sup-
ported by Venice merchants
and businesspeople, the free
service began Jan. 7 for a trial
period, operating Wednesday
through Saturday from 11 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
"It has proved such a suc-
cess in generating more park-
ing," said KC Quaretti-Lee, for-
mer Venice MainStreet execu-
tive director.
Service has been extended to
include Mondays and Tuesdays.
The trial period continues to the
end of March. At that time the
project will be re-evaluated. If
demand continues, it could be
extended to Easter.
MainStreet Board member
Kay Kropac, owner of Cafe
Venice and a sponsor of the
valet parking, said it was work-
ing well but could be a better


asset to visitors if they were
more aware of it.
Signs mark three spaces
midway along the north side of
the 200 block of West Venice
Avenue across from T.J. Carn-
ey's allotted for drivers to pull
up and drop off passengers.
"We are unable to make the
three signs any bigger, but they
are visible to drivers coming
over the Venice Avenue Bridge,"
said Janis Fawn, MainStreet
president and a sponsor.
Operator Southwest Valet
arranges for cars to be parked in
nearby church lots or near the
Venice Avenue Bridge. City
council granted permission to
use the drop-off spaces because
the valet service would create
additional parking for shoppers.
MainStreet is very pleased
with the initiative, said Fawn.
City Manager Isaac Turner
has talked about the possibili-
ty of extending the service to
West Miami Avenue and the
other two business blocks of
West Venice Avenue for next
season.

KC QUARETTI-LEE
MAINSTREET COLUMNIST


As this is my last time writ-
ing forVenice MainStreet Inc., I
would like to dedicate this col-
umn to all of the very special
individuals responsible for the
many wonderful projects VMS
completed in the past three
years.
Doug Phelps started volun-
teering in the office on Friday
mornings in July 2007 and has
been manning the phones
weekly ever since. His pleasant
demeanor has been appreciat-
ed by literally hundreds of peo-
ple who called the office want-
ing information on events and
happenings in Venice. Thank
you, Doug. I will certainly miss
your unwavering sense of hu-
mor.
Linda Hunnicut started
helping in the office seasonally
when she was still a snowbird.
NowVenice is lucky to have her
as a full-time resident. Marian
Bond not only spent many
hours keeping the office open
when I was out with appoint-
ments, she took care of keep-
ing the kiosk up to date and
initiated decorating the win-
dows for holidays. Linda and
Marian, thank you for all the
time you gave to VMS.
Jeff O'Berry, owner of Nifty
Nic Nacs, brought a proposal
to VMS for starting a group of
volunteer good-will ambas-
sadors in June 2007. Out of
Jeff's concept complete with


training manual, customer
service instructions and a quiz
geared toward enlightening
the volunteers on the lesser-
known tidbits about down-
town Venice was born The
Downtowners.
An amazing group of 30
came to the first Downtowner
meeting held at the communi-
ty room of city hall. Susie
Zavodnyik was there at that
first session and has now been
the co-chair, along with Leah
Sherman, owner of The Col-
lectors Gallery & Framery, for
two years. These two invalu-
able women have nurtured
and guided The Downtowners
into true professional ambas-
sadors for the city of Venice.
Jeff, Susie and Leah, thank
you for founding and leading
this unique program. And
thank you to all of The Down-
towners, past and present,
who care so very much about
our beautiful downtown.
Kate Heddings deserves all
the credit for one of Venice
MainStreet's most popular on-
going events: the Friday Night
Live Free Concert Series. From
concept to concert bookings,
she has built the concerts into
a hugely popular event that
brings hundreds of visitors
downtown on the second and
fourth Friday of every month.
Robin Perkins, owner of
Puttin' on the Ritz, bravely took
over publicly introducing Ven-
ice MainStreet Inc. as the con-
cert host and the musicians at
the start of the concerts last
year. Thank you, Kate and Rob-
in, for all that you are doing for
the citizens ofVenice.
So much of what Venice
MainStreet Inc. accomplished
in the past three years could
not have been done without
the wonderful staff at city hall.
Isaac Turner's support for test-
ing valet parking as a potential
solution to our seasonal park-


ing problem was incredibly
helpful. Tom Slaughter and
Kellie Bricker always took the
time to answer my questions
and listen to event proposals.
When I had no idea what to
expect, Bobby Hirter, Harry
Holden and Johnnie Poole
walked me through what was
needed for the first arts and
crafts fairs. Lori Stelzer, Linda
Depew, Susan Schult and Judy
Gamel all helped me with re-
serving the community room,
getting the keys and even sign-
ing in to speak at city council
meetings. Nancy Woodley, Pam
Johnson and Raeanne Keefe
could not have been nicer or
more helpful and professional.
Thank you all; I will miss work-
ing with every one of you.
To Mayor Ed Martin and
city council, thank you doesn't
say enough for your past, pre-
sent and continued support of
Venice MainStreet, Inc.
Now I want to thank my hus-
band, Filippo, my son, Giuliano,
and my daughter, Marina.
You helped set up and break
down every art festival and craft
fair booth for three years and
you stayed all day to sell VMS
merchandise. You gave your
time and energy to make sure
the original Iron Chef contest
was set up and then cleaned up
when it was over. You've dressed
up as Santa and his elves; you've
taken photographs and helped
clean the office. There isn't any-
thing you all haven't done for
Venice MainStreet Inc. Thank
you; I have the best family in the
world.
It has been a pleasure serving
the community as the executive
director of Venice MainStreet
Inc. I will continue to support
Venice MainStreet's mission of
historic preservation, beautifi-
cation, community vitality and
economic vitality for Down-
town Venice, and encourage
you to do the same.

happens when you go
solar is you turn lights off
a lot more than before,"
Montgomery said, fur-
ther reducing the bill.
The entire staff has
become "kilowatt con-
scious," he said.
"This is really a cool
thing. We need to get the
word out. Financially, it's a
no-brainer. Why wouldn't
you do it?"
Due diligence
Montgomery did his
due diligence. He called
Florida Shores Bank and
asked about a loan. The
bank gave it a thumb's
up. Montgomery said he
agreed to give the state
rebate immediately back
to the bank, not wanting
to encumber a long-term
family business debt.
He called his accoun-
tant to go over the num-
bers. The accountant
said it made good busi-
ness sense.
Montgomery then call-
ed Wayne Roberts of
Roberts Insurance to see
if it would affect his
insurance rates. Roberts
said it wouldn't, since the
installation has a 165-
mph wind rating.
Roberts was so im-
pressed with the installa-
tion he ordered one too.
His company will be the
first commercial installa-
tion on the island.
Montgomery called
Evan Duke, owner of
Classic Creations, who
visited Montgomery Car-
pet's installation and
liked what he saw. Classic
Creations installed solar
panels on its new build-
ing on U.S. 41 in South
Venice a few months ago.
The store opens March
18.
While he doesn't have
the bidirectional meter
installed just yet, he's not


paying a thing for the
electricity used during
construction, Duke said.
Florida Shores Bank is
financing all three instal-
lations.
The rebate program
The only drawback is a
six-to-nine month lag in
receiving the state rebate,
which all three business
owners are counting on,
assuming this year's re-
bate program, which has
amassed $25 million in
applications, is funded.
"I got my money last
week for the (business)
system," Swanson said. "I
would say that was a
good day ... receiving a
check for $87,000."
He agreed there is a
window of opportunity,
but also "a window of risk."
"The state says there is
no money (to fund the
program). If for some
reason the state does not
fund this, then you have
that risk," he said. "I went
ahead and put it in
because they historically
pay even though they say
they don't have any mon-
ey. It's a good risk."
Swanson took per-
haps an even greater risk
than most he paid
cash for his installations.
"I thought it was a
good investment," he
said. "Now that I got my
reimbursement, I think it
was a phenomenal invest-
ment."
Swanson said he be-

presi





lives the state is now try-
ing to slow down the re-
imbursement program,
even though it doesn't
expire until June.
"The state Web site,"
he said, "used to have in
big print 'Fill out the
application.' Now it's in
small print," he said.
"They were trying to
get people moving, but
now they are trying to
slow it down."
He's hopeful the state
will come up with a new
incentive plan this leg-
islative session, which
begins March 2, to con-
tinue promoting renew-
able energy.
The risk
Bruce Kershner, presi-
dent of the Florida Solar
Energy Industries Asso-
ciation in Longwood,
Fla., said he is hopeful of
a new program too.
"It's a little too early to
know what other options"
the Legislature may con-


dent Billy Swanson





sider, Kershner said. "Our
organization is out there
talking to legislators ev-
ery day. It could be 50-50
(whether a new program
is approved). Being a 60-
day session, we should
know pretty quickly if we
are going to come out
with something for re-
newable energy."
Kershner was more
cautionary to those who
are tempted to jump in
before the June expira-
tion date for the current


rebate plan.
"Proceed at your own
risk," Kershner said.
"We've tried to caution
our own contractors not
to promise (customers)
anything. The (law) does
say the rebates will be
paid if funded. There
is nothing that guaran-
tees it's going to be fully
funded. It's in the hands
of legislators.
"I've told (legislators),
you may not think you've
promised them, but
that's what they are pro-
ceeding on. I do not want
our organization to be
encouraging folks to (go
for it) it before the dead-
line."
On the other hand, he
said, "If you are convinc-
ed you want do renew-
able energy, go ahead
and do it. There are cer-
tainly other incentives
out there."
Some see the rebate
program as a potential
casualty of its own popu-

clarity.
"Maybe it's been too
successful," Kershner said.
In 2006 the program
was funded at $2.5 mil-
lion. In 2007 it was fund-
ed at $3.5 million, fol-
lowed in 2008 by $5 mil-
lion from general rev-
enues.
No state money was
put into the program in
2009. Instead, the state
used $14.4 million in fed-
eral stimulus money to
fund its rebate program,
and went through that in
less than six months.
Kershner said the state
is likely counting on
funding the final year of
the program $25 mil-
lion and running from
the same source.
"That's what we are
looking at," he said, "any
chance to look at stimu-
lus money to pay those

OPINION

OUR VIEW


Throw in the towel on the corridor plan


On Wednesday, Sarasota County
commissioners will consider
two proposed developments
on State Road 776 that have stirred a
storm of neighborhood opposition
stretching back nearly three years
now.
Taking the big-picture view, it's
easy to see why.
The size and the style of the pro-
jects represent a substantial depar-
ture from current land use. They call
for housing and commercial develop-
ment well beyond existing zoning.
But they follow the objectives and
concepts in the county's Compre-
hensive Plan and the State Road 776
Corridor Plan. The developments de-
part from the past; they embrace a
different vision of the future.
And that's the problem: The people
who live here really don't seem to like
that vision. If nothing else, they don't
like the way the vision has been trans-
ferred from paper onto the ground.
How did that happen?
In 2003, after conducting a commu-
nity survey, seven public workshops


and two public hearings, Sarasota
County adopted its Corridor Plan. It
emphasized pedestrian-friendly de-
velopment, connected neighbor-
hoods, "eco-tourism" and "eco-friend-
ly" business development. All that
sounded great.
To meet those aims, it also created
a framework for a different style of
mixed-use development. That also
has a nice ring. In practice, though,
the proposals that have come from it
have been surprisingly dense. And
when it gets down to it, the people
most affected don't really want to mix
businesses in with their neighbor-
hoods.
Take, for instance, the two projects
up for review this week.
The first is a 3-acre parcel at the
intersection of S.R. 776 and Manasota
Beach Road. Nearby are single-family
homes, a county scrub preserve and
home-based businesses. The Corri-
dor Plan allows commercial building
at the site; developers have asked for a
5,000-square-foot bank and 10,000
square feet of retail space.


Their project is significantly scaled
back from a previous plan that ran off
the rails last year, and the developers
deserve credit for scaling back their
plan, removing a gas station. Still, the
commercial buildings have drawn
overwhelming opposition. And why
not? Current residential-estate zoning
allows three houses on the parcel. Lo-
cal residents like that; it fits the neigh-
borhood.
The second project is a mixed
housing-commercial development
on 11 acres at the corner of S.R. 776
and Old Englewood Road. It calls for
13,000 square feet of commercial
buildings, 18 multi-family units of
housing, 15 single-family patio
homes and six single-family attached
units. This project also was scaled
back from a previous incarnation, so
credit these developers, too, for revi-
sions.
The problem is that current open-
use/estate zoning would allow only
five houses on the parcel. Again, resi-
dents in the area see no reason to
change to something so dramatically


bigger.
That's the problem with the mixed-
use concept in these cases. They
make sense with large-scale projects,
but not necessarily here. Residents
see no reason for another bank or
doctor's office a block or two away,
since Lemon Bay Plaza or the Olde
Village Shopping Center is only a cou-
ple of miles away. They certainly don't
want to trade extra density for it.
To accept a zoning change, people
expect real benefits in exchange. It's
hard to see any here. In both in-
stances, these proposals diverge from
existing development patterns, ones
people say they like. There are no
strong reasons to change, other than
conformance with a Corridor Plan
that few people, other than the prop-
erty developers themselves, have
embraced.
The Corridor Plan is the problem.
It may have looked good on paper
seven years ago, but in practice, time
and again, it hasn't matched commu-
nity needs or desires. It's just not
working.


A different slant


I have some questions for
you.
Do you ever get upset when
the traffic on the bridge is
backed up for a mile because
of the number of cars? Do you
get a little peeved when you go
to your favorite barber and
there are 10 guys ahead of you?
Do you see the when the gro-
cery lines are jampacked?
Sure you do. At times we all
do, as what used to be a quick
trip to the store or to an
appointment turns into a long
wait. Let me give you another
way to look at it and see if this
doesn't give you a moment to
reflect on what is happening
and why it is good for you and,
actually, all of us.
We are in the middle of the
"season." No, not like the
movie "The Mean Season," but
"the season." Yes, that time
when the merchants have a
chance to recoup some of the
money they did not make in
the heat of summer when our
population goes back to its
seasonal norm and the pace
settles down.
You see, not just the mer-
chants need the snowbirds,
tourists and visitors we all
do. Without this seasonal
swelling of the population,
chances are many of us would
not have chosen to be here.
The Publixes, Walmarts, Targ-
ets, The Home Depots or
Applebees of this world might
not be here. I know some of
you are thinking "good rid-


dance," but alas, you forget the
tax dollars, jobs, selection and
economic impact they bring.
The true life blood of a com-
munity is the small businesses
that make up about 90 percent
of our town's economy. Where
would we be if we did not have
the jewelers, hair stylists, cof-
fee shops, plumbers and fami-
ly restaurants we all go to? I'll
tell you where we would be -
somewhere else.
Can you imagine Venice
without West Venice Avenue or
the other stores downtown?
Let's face it: Besides Venice's
weather, beaches and laid-
back atmosphere, the down-
town area is a huge draw for
tourism. And guess what?
Tourists spend dollars.
All of us are dependent on a
good tourist season in the win-
ter, just as North Carolina and
the mountain areas depen-
dent on a good tourist season
in the summer. After all, many
of us vacation there, becoming
the tourists who clog their
streets.
So, if you find your favorite
restaurant is always packed, go
earlier or make reservations.
When you know the roads are
going to be jammed with auto-
mobiles in the morning, leave
a little earlier. If you know your
favorite grocery store is mob-
bed when you shop, change
your shopping patterns.
Am I suggesting you change
your life in the season we are
in? No, I am not. What I am
suggesting is Venice and all of
Florida need this influx of peo-
ple spending money. I am just
asking you, when you are sit-
ting there with the bridge up,
surrounded by hundreds of
other cars, to look at your situ-
ation a little differently.
What the heck put on a
tape or bring a book to skim.
Your blood pressure will stay
even and you will feel better.

A bridge too much

Trail comment. I've a comment about the new pedestrian
crosswalk bridge for the Legacy Trail. That's something real nice
for a nice city, but let's look at it from a reality point of view is
that a responsible decision for the county to pay for something
like that when the county is nearly broke? I am a county employ-
ee; my hours have been cut, my wage has been frozen, my ben-
efits have been cut. I'm really struggling with my kids and myself,
and the county is going to fund a pedestrian crosswalk for a
bunch of bicyclists on the Legacy Trail? That's just downright irre-
sponsible. Where are our commissioners? Are they checking this
out? If I hadn't seen it in print, in the newspaper, I probably
wouldn't have believed it. I think it's time for our elected officials
to take a peek at what's going on around them.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The project will be carried out by the Florida
Department of Transportation using federal stimulus funds.


Amazing. Have you ever
noticed how many American
flags are taped or glued onto
foreign cars? It's just amazing.
A mess. I read in the article
in the Gondolier Sun that
neighborhood watchdogs
Bruce Lebedun and Sue Lang
accounted for more than one-
third of all airport hotline
noise complaints in 2008 and
2009. Would bet that they also
account for more than one-
third or maybe one-half of the
calls into the Let'em Have It in
favor of re-electing Sue, Ed and
Ernie. I have not talked to one
person that would vote for
them again. In fact, the sooner
they're gone, the better for
Venice. If we could do away
with the Golden Beach group,
we'd probably be better off too.
It's such a shame that such a
small group of people have
made such a mess of our fine
community and cost us so
much.
Right choice? I find the
photograph you entered into
the color competition very
interesting. Just a camel that
are quite useful animals. Its
dung is used for cooking, its
milk is used for the young and
its meat is used for food. Now
the question I have is, is it very
appropriate given nowadays
with the whole problem of ter-
ror?

live, but there are a lot of
streets in Venice that don't
have shells. You didn't mention
which Beach Manor Villas


complex you are complaining
about there are two Beach
Manor Villas, east and south. I
hope you will be able to find a

able to walk on the other side

Disappointed. My wife and
I recently took our two 3-year-
old grandchildren to one of the
last showings of the Cirquesa
circus here in Venice. With the
exception of the aerial artists,
the performance could best be
described as mediocre. The
sound system was terrible and
barely understandable, and
the hapless customers were
constantly barraged with the
unsolicited hawking of un-
wanted picture-taking and an
endless assortment of junk
food. The most upsetting as-
pect of all, however, was the
obscene charge of $13 mini-
mum for children age 2 and
older. No child under 12 should
have to pay an adult fare for
anything. While it was touted
that some of the proceeds were
going to charity, there was no
mention of just how much
would be donated. We consid-
ered the entire event a cus-
tomer rip-off and will not be re-
turning next year. In the mean-
time, we'll give directly to the
charities of our choice. The
poor attendance was likely due
more to the high prices than to
the cool weather.
It's news. Please put this
subject to sleep -Ed, Ernie and
Sue Lang you're beating this
subject to death. I have to sit
here and read this, over and ov-
er and over. Just stop ... please?

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

The next 'best' thing

Editor:
Venice City Council's 4-3 vote to submit a noncompli-
ant airport Master Plan Update merely affirmed a not-so-
hidden agenda.
In spite of repeated, adamant rejections by the FAA of
any proposal to downgrade the utility of the Venice Mu-
nicipalAirport, in spite of knowledgeable aviation consul-
tants advising council such a proposal would be rejected
again, in spite of viable options presented that addressed
as many of the concerns of the community as practical,
council voted to completely rework the MPU into non-
compliance at great expense, and submit it to the FAA.
Because these four council members cannot close the
airport, they have chosen the next best thing: marginalize
its safety and bankrupt its funds.

No airport is even better


No soul? No problem
Editor:
If it weren't so serious a situa-
tion the devolution of our pseu-
do-democracy it would be a
joke.
The Supreme Court got away
with implementing a coup to oust
Gore and install W. Now they're
going to disenfranchise the people
and elevate bodies without souls
- corporations to the full-
blown status of citizenship? Amaz-
ing.
Yeah, I'd go for impeachment.

What's up with
the speed limits?
Editor:
Could it be explained what is
going on with State Road 681
speed limits? The only road con-
struction is if you are coming from
75 onto 681 and that speed wasn't
reduced.


The signs have been changed to
read 45, 55 and 60. Looks like
deficit reduction, with all the
police out there since this hap-
pened.
Can anyone explain the change
- three different speed limits on a
clear stretch of road?

Pat Williamson
Venice

EDITOR'S NOTE: As we recently
reported, a change in state law and
plans for two as-yet unbuilt develop-
ments along S.R. 681 are the rea-
sons for the changes.
The opposite of progress
Editor:
I am so proud of President
Obama, but the bickering going on
in Congress depresses me.
I wonder how long we will
remain in our very destructive
mood before getting the country
moving in an ethical, fair and open
political system.


President Obama cannot do it
by himself, he needs Congress to
help him.
Looks as though Congress con-
tinues to remain in a neanderthal
state.
Too bad they don't use guns to
settle disputes in Congress.
Maybe then we would have a
chance of replacing all of Con-
gress.

our national health and propriety.

HERB LEVINE
GUEST COLUMNIST


The latest vote concern-
ing our airport by Venice
City Council is quite inter-
esting. Three members
voted to compromise with
the FAA and possibly some
business people who want
to make money out of the
airport no matter what
effect it has on Venice's citi-
zens. The other four, who
remember who elected
them, voted to tell the FAA
to go scratch.
And the FAA might do
exactly that scratch us
off its runway money list.
I remember driving to
Orlando some years ago
with several other people
to complain about one of
the airport property rent-
ers and a city employee's
shenanigans regarding the
games played with rent
money to the airport fund.
The money crowd didn't
seem to mind those she-
nanigans, probably for
some very good reasons.
The FAA put a stop to it
by shutting off runway
renewal money. Since
then, higher rents and a
reduction in the cute sys-
temVenice had for system-
atically draining money
from the airport and other
funds into the city coffers,
along with better airport
management, have had a
good result plenty of
money in the airport fund.
If the four city council
members who voted
against the compromise
are correct and they
are there is an even
better way to handle the
situation at the Venice
Airport. Turn it into a B-II
airport and shorten the
runways. No problem for
the golf course or homes


near the airport. Turn the
airport into a pure recre-
ational airport. If we lose
the flight schools, so be it.
Charge fees to the large
planes that avoid paying
them in Sarasota or at
other airports.
If the FAA will no longer
pay for runway renewal,
those same smaller run-
ways will last twice as long
withless use and the airport
fund can then easily pay for
them. If this hurts some air-
port entrepreneurs who
don't even live here, good-
bye. There's always another
airport nearby.
And there are more
ways for Venice to make
money out of a recreation-
al airport. The 350 acres of
airport ground plus 300 or
so vacant acres in the
northern part of Venice
can become solar by using
money the city was given
on the sale of the hospital
some years ago. Gulf Coast
Community Foundation
of Venice can save lots of
time and effort looking for
other places to invest our
money.
A completely green Ven-
ice means a long, long line
of people wanting to move
into a progressive and elec-
tric-bill-free city. The price
of homes in Venice would
double. No-growth would
turn that double into triple.
Aren't those homestead
laws wonderful?
But there will be lots
and lots of people in those
lines who will buy old,
small homes, knock them
down and build very ex-
pensive homes. More tax-
es will roll into the county
and city with no cost in-
creases. No need for more
police, firemen, trash col-
lectors, etc.
The only ones who
won't profit will be the
ones who wanted to build
high-rises. But there's al-
ways another small town
to ruin, isn't there?

the Venice Taxpayer's
League. He writes an oc-
casional column for this

GIRLS WEIGHTLIFTING FHSAA STATE FINALS




r VENICE CAPTURES THREE MEDALS


Bass are



biting

The Gulf of Mexico is too
cold, too murky and choppy.
What to do?
Freshwater fishing is the
answer. It is catch-and- re-
lease but at least you will
have some action.
Find a pond that is not
posted, and there are plenty
in our area. The bass are on
their beds, so use artificial
worms. The secret is to reel in
slow and then slower. The
bass think the worm is going
to eat their eggs. I use a 8- to
9-inch worm with a small
bullet weight and stick a
piece of a toothpick in the
bullet weight to keep it
against the hook. Otherwise,
the weight may sink ahead of
the worm and scare the fish
away.
Another secret is to keep
the rod down when playing
a bass. This way they will
have difficulty jumping and
throwing the hook. I also use
ultra-light tackle with fluo-
rocarbon leader. Try finding
an outflow pipe in the pond
as that is usually a good
place to fish. Most ponds
have them and fish can trav-
el from pond to pond and it
also makes a great ambush
area for the bass.
Saltwater fishing is still
slow at the pier, jetties and
Caspersen Beach. The water
is still too cold. The sheepies
should get turned on as the
temperature rises.
A free fishing seminar will
be held on Saturday at Cook's
Sportland on U.S. 41 in South
Venice. It begins 10 a.m. with
speakers FWC Officer Andy
and Mr. Sheepshead.
Well, fellow Sheepshead-
ites, the time has come to say
goodbye until next week.

Hack. Contact him at

Venice's Amanda Chappel, left, Taylor Capasso and Emily
Daniels show off their state medals after grabbing two
fifth-place finishes and a sixth place in the FHSAA Girls
Weightlifting Finals on Saturday at River Ridge High in
New Port Richey.


The two-week break between the
Section 8 and state meets didn't sit
well with the majority of the four
Venice High state qualifiers.
After three of the four Lady Indians
brought home medals by placing in the
top six in the FHSAA Girls Weightlifting
Finals, they might rethink their position.
Seniors Taylor Capasso and Emily
Daniels grabbed fifth place while
senior Amanda Chappel brought
home a sixth-place medal in their
respective weight classes.
"It's awesome," said Capasso. "I can't
believe. I never thought I would be in the
top six I love that kind of competition."
The fifth-places mark a new best for
Venice as the Lady Indians' previous


highest finish was sixth place on three
different occasions. As a team, Venice
finished tied for 16th place out of the
28 teams, that scored points, with five
points a new school record. The old
record was one point in three other
years.
"It was great after all these years,"
said Venice coach Nancy Tessier, who
just finished up her 13th year. "We
were so excited. It was a first time for
Venice High for one and to see the girls
do so well. We are really proud of
them. To see three of our kids get
medals was amazing."
Capasso is the newest of the trio as
this was her first year of lifting. She
played varsity volleyball for four years
and signed a full athletic scholarship

WRESTLING CLASS 2A-REGION 3


Venice qualifies three to states


BY PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR


The Wall of Fame inside the
Venice High wrestling room
just got longer.
Three names will be added
to the list of state qualifiers
after placing in the top four at
the Class 2A-Region 3 wrestling
tournament on Saturday at
Charlotte High in Punta Gorda.
Senior Jeremy Erickson, a
district champion, grabbed a
second place while sophomore
Matt Parker and senior Colton
Schuchert placed fourth in
region.
The top four in each weight
class qualify for the Class 2A
state tournament on Friday
and Saturday at The Lakeland
Center in Lakeland.
This marks the 15th
straight year in which Venice
coach Dan Kelly had a state
qualifier.
The three state qualifiers is
the most for the Indians since
2006.
"We've got three going," said
Kelly "A lot better than last year.
Wish we would have had a little
more but I'm happy with what
happened."
Last year, Venice only had
one state qualifier.
"Three weeks ago Colton
came up with a little break-
down we do and it is, 'Who's
back? Venice is back. Who's
back? Venice is back'," said
Kelly. "I really think he is right.
We are on the verge of being
back as a top team. This is what
you need. We had a great sea-
son (21-3 dual match record).
We did a nice job at districts.
We did a pretty good job here at
regionals. We just got to build
on that."

Venice's Jeremy Erickson works to turn over Hillsborough's Joseph
Lugo in their 119-pound semifinal match during the Class 2A-Region 2
wrestling tournament on Saturday at Charlotte High. Erickson ended up
placing second to advance to the Class 2A state tournament.


The Indians, who qualified
nine into regionals, had seven
of them win at least two match-
es to pick up team points.
Venice placed eight in the
team scoring with 61 points.
Riverdale won the title with 213
points while Charlotte was sec-
ond with 155 points. The
Indians were only 10 points out
of fifth place.
At 119 pounds, Erickson (39-
4) allowed two takedowns in a
5-2 loss to Fort Myers Riverdale
sophomore Jonathon Heffner
in the championship finals.
Heffner scored a takedown
with 1:27 left in the first period
then Erickson escaped to trail,
2-1 after one period. Erickson
escaped to open the second
period to tie the match at 2-2.
He nearly had a takedown at
the end of the second period.
In the third period, Heffner
(30-6) escaped and took
Erickson down 20 seconds later
to close out the scoring.
"I think I ate a little too
much because I felt slow," said


Offensively, Dembinski and
AmberYonker had two hits
each. Dembinski's hits were
doubles. Julia Costello
knocked in two runs.
Against East Bay,
Dembinski pitched a complete
game with three strikeouts
and five hits.
At the plate, Dembinski
had a double and two RBI.
Kelly Ott also had two hits
while Emily Parsons added
two RBI for the Lady Indians.
Against Braden River,
Courtney Markusson went 2-
for-4 with two RBI.
Sands pitched the first five
innings allowing seven hits
with a strikeout. Dembinski
relieved her and got three
strikeouts in two innings.


Erickson. "He wrestled really
well and defensively. He was
strong on his feet. Not what I
expected at all. I knew to watch
out for his dump (takedown)
but I couldn't get around to
opposite side. He just wrestled
well. I didn't wrestle to the top
of my game. It could have been
a much better match."
"That first takedown hurt
us," said Kelly. "That kid is so
solid. After the first takedown it
put us in a situation where we
had to take more chances than
we wanted to. He's a hard kid to
beat. He's a very intelligent
wrestler. He doesn't make mis-
takes. You can't win without
getting a takedown. You can't
win on escapes. We were fine
on the mat with him. He is very
slick on his feet and doesn't get
himself out of position at all. I
think we spend too much effort
and didn't get anything from it.
We didn't score when we need-
ed to. Erickson losing in the
finals is not a big deal to me.

VENICE LOSES HEART-
BREAKER: Venice dropped its
season-opener on Monday night
as Dunedin scored three runs in

opening game of the Warhawk
Invitational at Seminole High.
The Falcons are ranked No.
11 in the nation, according to
Venice coach Craig Faulkner.
"We played a great game but
couldn't get it done in the end;'
said Faulkner. "We really played
well and deserved to win but fell

we did we can definitely work
on. I like what we did.'

Goal is to make it to the state

This is Erickson's fourth time
qualifying for the state tourna-
ment but first time in Florida.
The senior, who moved to
Venice from North Caroline
High in Ridgley, Md., qualified
twice for states in Maryland
and as a freshman in Delaware.
"Definitely getting on the
podium this year," Erickson
said about states. "That's what
it is coming down to."
Erickson needs to finish in
the top six to receive a medal
and get on the podium.
"I have to work on my
defense," Erickson said. "Tech-
nique is important but mental

thing right now."
At 103 pounds, Parker
dropped into the wrestlebacks
after a loss in the semifinals. In
the consolation semifinals,
Parker scored a pin over Cape

In the consolation finals,
Parker (38-8) gave up four take-

Parker is the first sophomore
to qualify for states for Venice
since Keith Koziel in 2005.
"It's still hard to believe that I
am actually going," said Parker
about states. "Last year I did
horrible. This is a big deal as a
sophomore. It's exciting."
"Parker had a losing record

MEDALS from Page 10A


to continue at the University of Tampa.
At states, Capasso lifted 130 pounds
in the bench press and 145 pounds in
the clean and jerk for a 275-pound
total.
"I just tried to go in there and do my
best and improve like I have every
meet," said Capasso. "I increased from
sectional by 10 pounds total. My clean
and jerk didn't go up, so I was kind of
disappointed with that. My bench went
up by 10 pounds."
Once Capasso got the technique
down, she blossomed.
"She went up every meet," Tessier
said about Capasso. "She went up 10,
20, 25 pounds each week. Her total
was higher, higher and higher. If we
had more time with her, who knows
what she could have done.
I didn't know she would take to it so
quickly. Once she got the technique
down she was unstoppable. She
increased more than anybody ever
did from beginning of season to end."
From the beginning to the end of
the season, Capasso raised her total
90 pounds.


SUN NEWSPAPERS 11A


Finishing with same total was
Chappel, who lifted 140 pounds in
the bench and 135 pounds in the
clean and jerk.
The tie was broken by a mere two-
tenths of a pound as Capasso weighed
in at 117 pounds while Chappel was
117.2 pounds.
Chappel was happy with the medal
but not happy with her performance.
"I was not there for the medal,"
said Chappel on Tuesday. "I was there
to prove to myself that I could do the
best that I could and I didn't. I wasn't
satisfied at all. I'm fine with it now.
Time has passed and you can't do
anything about it, so there is no need
to be upset."
"She didn't do the best she could,"
said Tessier. "I know that is how she felt
because she had done that (weight)
before and knew she could do it."
Chappel's final attempt at 145
pounds in the clean and jerk was
called bad by the judges.
"She was robbed," said Tessier. "If you
see the video, she did nothing wrong
and they told her to put the bar down.
The 145 pounds would give her 285 total
and put her in fourth place."


Daniels improved the most from the
sectional to state.
Daniels, who placed 12th at state last
year, entered the state meet tied for
13th place with a 290 total.
However, she knew she had a bad
sectional meet and could do better.
"She knew she didn't do well at sec-
tional and knew she could do better
and she certainly did," said Tessier.
Daniels lifted 150 pounds in the
bench press and 165 pounds in the
clean and jerk for a 315-pound total.
"I wouldn't change anything," said
Daniels. "I loved the season. I was
determined to come in the top six,"
said Daniels. "In meets, I get adrenaline
rushes and usually in practice, my
totals are 10 pounds less than I can get
in a meet. My best was 305 pounds so I
was aiming for 320 and 315 is close
enough for me."
Daniels found out on Friday night
she was accepted at the University of
Florida.
Capasso liked having the two weeks
off.
"It helped me so much," said
Capasso. "I know it didn't show much
because my clean and jerk didn't go up


at all but my bench went up so much. I
definitely felt stronger."
"It may have helped," said Tessier.
"When we have a meet every week we
really can't work them that hard that
they are sore. The first week was most-
ly strength training, making them
stronger building muscles. They could
be sore every day and it didn't matter.
For Daniels, the two weeks off was
bittersweet after watching her team-
mate last year, Gianna Barnett, hurt
herself just before the state meet in
practice.
"I liked it but I didn't," said Daniels
about the break. "I increased a lot so it
is fine. Do I think two weeks is neces-
sary? No, but it worked for me."
Junior Lauren Thomas was the
fourth state qualifier for the Lady
Indians in the 110-pound weight class.
Thomas increased her total by five
points from the sectional by lifting 115
pounds in the bench press and 105 in
the clean and jerk for a 220-pound
total.
"Lauren did really well," said
Thomas.

Schuchert battled his way
through the wrestlebacks to
qualify for states with his
fourth-place finish at 140
pounds.
After an opening round loss,
the senior won four straight
matches to reach the consola-
tion finals.
In the consolation semifinals,
Schuchert defeated Lakewood
Ranch's Nick Schilson, 6-4.
Schuchert went ahead 6-0 after
the second period and nearly
pinned Schilson. This was a
rematch of the district semifi-
nals in which Schilson won, 4-2.
"I'm there," said Schuchert
with tears streaming down his
face about qualifying for states.
"It's all a wanted. I can't believe
it right now. It's unbelievable.

It's the only thing I wanted the
past four years and I finally got
it. I'm so happy right now."
"Out of everybody on our
team he probably deserves it
the most," said Kelly about
Schuchert. "He never loafs. He
works hard. He runs extra. He


Schuchert
loves the sport. He got exactly
what he deserved. He deserved
to go (to states). After he lost
his first match, I didn't think he
would make it but then he
came all the way back
through."
In the consolation final,


Schuchert lost to Charlotte's
Brennan Scott, 7-2. Scott lead
2-1 after the first period and
added an escape and take-
down in the second period for
a 5-1 cushion. Schuchert got a
escape in the third period but
no more in the loss."
Junior Jovanny Concepcion
(135 pounds) came one win
away from qualifying for
states. He dropped down into
the wrestlebacks after losing to
Largo's Clarence Longley in the
semifinals. In his final match,
he faced Palmetto Ridge's
David Tanguma, who was
upset in the first round and
came all the way back for third
place. Tanguma scored a 10-4
victory.
Sophomore Larsen Ullrich
(130), junior Frank Trigg (152),
senior Devin Balsinger (285)
went 2-2 in regionals.
Balsinger lost a heartbreak-


ing 2-1 decision in the third
round of wrestlebacks to end
his season with a 35-9 record.
'A couple of kids who didn't
quite make it Jovanny and
Trigg but I think they will
come back and hopefully
make it next year," said Kelly.

Brian Tuttle, who had proposed a
13,000-home residential and commercial
development in northeast North Port,
said goodbye to the property Monday -
and Wiley T. McCall said hello to it again.
McCall, the owner of South Florida Sod
Inc., bid $1 on the 5,771 acres that had
been slated for the Isles of Athena devel-
opment (the former Kelce Ranch) that he
sold to Tuttle for $63 million in 2005.
The property was auctioned online
Monday through www.sarasota.realfore
close.com. McCall was the sole bidder.
McCall, of Avon Park, is represented
by Stephenie Anthony of Anthony &
Partners in Tampa.
"We expect to get a certificate of title
for our client in the next 10 days,"
Anthony said Monday. "We have an
estimate of what the property is valued
at, but don't want to say right now."
There are no immediate plans for
development of the property.
Tuttle purchased the land east of
Toledo Blade Boulevard from McCall for
about $26 million in cash and $36.9 mil-


lion in debt in 2005. The site was
annexed into the city of North Port in the
late 1990s. The city's intent was to allow
for mixed use of residential and com-
mercial to help diversify the tax base.
However, the property was fore-
closed on in March 2009 after Tuttle
stopped making payments on time.
At first Tuttle, of West Palm Beach,
disputed McCall's right to foreclose. The
case went before 12th Circuit Judge
Donna Padar Berlin in November, and a
trial date was set for the week of Jan. 11.
The case was then transferred to
Circuit Judge Charles Roberts, and
Tuttle withdrew his bid to keep the
property. Roberts' final judgment was
dated Jan. 4.
According to that document, Tuttle
owed McCall $44.7 million in principal
and interest.
McCall could not be reached for
comment Wednesday
Tuttle won't say how much he and
his partners lost in the deal, but he said
in an earlier interview that he has no
personal liability now because "the
loan and the deal was never personally
guaranteed by anybody."

RECURRING HEADACHES


DR. DAN BUSCH, DR. ERENE ROMANSKI
CHIROPRACTOR
If you've been troubled by recurring
headaches and find that sedative or pain-
killing drugs only mask the headache without
removing the cause, you may be able to
benefit from chiropractic treatment.
Headaches can have many causes. Among
them is a disturbance in the blood supply to
the head and brain that may result when one
or more vertebrae are out of alignment.
Called a subluxation, this may be
interfering with the flow of blood through an


artery that the nerves in your head and brain
depend on for nourishment to function
normally. Headaches may also be caused by
spasm of the neck muscles brought on by
poor posture. The source of the problem may
be a displaced vertebra lower down in your
spinal column. Headache may also be caused
by direct nerve root pressure from a
displaced bony segment in the neck.
Whatever structural problem may be causing
the headaches, treatment by your doctor of
chiropractic may bring you relief.

Helping students

continue their education


FROM THE FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION

Education Commis-
sioner Dr. Eric J. Smith said
27 Florida colleges and
about 270 high schools
will participate in the
state's 2010 Go Higher -
Get Accepted campaign.
The campaign is de-
signed to increase the
number of high school
seniors enrolling in college
by guiding and supporting
students throughout the
application process. Col-
leges sponsoring Go High-
er- Get Accepted events
will offer a $500 scholar-
ship, supplied by the
Foundation for Florida's
Community Colleges, to
an eligible high school
senior who attends an


event and enrolls at the
participating college.
"It's vital that our stu-
dents explore every op-
portunity for a postsec-
ondary education to en-
sure they are prepared to
compete for today's high-
wage, high-skill jobs," said
Smith.
Colleges will sponsor
events to help students
examine specific college
majors and programs.
A key focus will be to
help parents and stu-
dents with applications
for admission and finan-
cial aid. Many will offer
Cash for College work-
shops to help students
and families complete
the free application for
federal student aid.

vicing the public.
Through public grants

sion.

Graser sets smooth course for Yacht Club


SUN PHOTOS BY FRAN VALENCIC
Paula and Shaun Graser look forward to
a spectacular year at the Venice Yacht
Club. Shaun is the new commodore.


FRAN VALENCIC
SOCIAL COLUMNIST

Family, friends and sim-
ple white lights welcomed
Shaun Graser as the new
commodore of the Venice
Yacht Club.
The Commodore's Ball
offered an evening of setting
course and looking back.
Graser started his career at
the club winning first place
in the pram races for 9- to


11-year-olds. He continued
racing and became an
instructor.
The introduction of past
commodores at the ball
included the 1972 crew, Pat
and Merle Graser, Shaun's
parents. Thanks to Merle
being the commodore, Shaun
landed a job as a dishwash-
er at the club when he was
in high school. This work
motivated Shaun to do well
in school.
Committee members Liz
Hill, Beth Piel, Pat Kozlowski,
Ann Thompson and Ann
Van Cott attended to all
details for the gala, includ-
ing a dinner menu inspired
by the 1972 crew. The Venice
High School Color Guard
presented the colors.
The Yacht Club team, led
by David Yarzab, ensured
perfect service. Chef Marc
Pegram made dazzling ice


sculptures, including a sail-
boat, at the social, creating
the centerpiece for the caviar,
seared tuna, escargot, cheese
and crackers.
Venice master of cere-
monies extraordinaire Don
Hay kept the ship on course
with his usual grace. This
spectacular evening included
music and fun and, most
important, the continuation
of a yacht club tradition.
Shaun's wife, Paula, and
children Colin, Kyle and
Megan Murphy celebrated
this special evening with
him.
A taste of chili
Visit the KMI Building -
Venice Centre Mall on
Tampa Avenue this Saturday
to sample various chilis and
vote for your favorite at the
monthly food fest. Plan to
check out the bargains.


One of our best
The special person of this
week is the new commodore
of the Venice Yacht Club,
Shaun Graser.
This nice man is a dentist
in town and lives the mean-
ing of community spirit. In
addition to his service at the
Venice Yacht Club, Shaun
serves on a board for the city.
He is one of those citizens
who rolls up his sleeves and
serves where needed.
Over the years Shaun has
made several trips to Haiti to
offer dental service to its citi-
zens. His example led his son
and family members to fol-
low. Perhaps his work will
motivate other citizens to
do the same.
Shaun Graser is one of
the men who make Venice a
great place to live.

Pat and Merle Graser know the hard
work being commodore of the Venice
Yacht Club involves. Merle was com-
modore in 1972 and is a former mayor

Get a leg up for the

Sadie Hawkins Day race
My father's favorite cartoon was "Lil Abner,"one of
the great political cartoons and also terribly
silly.
Written by Al Capp, it had a four-decade run that
ended in the 1970s, and was turned into a Tony Award-
winning musical which gave new life to all those zany
characters in Dogpatch U.S.A. where Daisy Mae was
determined to finally catch Li'l Abner in the annual Sadie
Hawkins Day race. That Abner, the stud muffin of his
day, had no interest in being caught, made the annual
race one of the most popular recurring themes in the
strip that gave us the likes of General Bullmoose,
Marrying Sam and others.
Next week the musical version opens at the Sarasota
Golden Apple Dinner Theatre which is offering a special
preview Tuesday, Feb. 23. Not only can you see the
7:30 p.m. show for the bargain price of $17 per person
(without dinner) but you can stay afterward for a talk
back session with the cast and director Robert
Ennis Turoff.
This is a great opportunity for fans of the late Al Capp
and, to sweeten the deal, preview goers will be able to
purchase drinks from the bar, appetizers and the
specialty desserts for which the Apple is as well known
as for its professional shows.
For tickets, call 941-366-5454.

'An Evening
BY SHIRLEY GEORGE
SUN CORRESPONDENT
Suzanne LaRusch stars in a one-
woman show, "An Evening With
Lucille Ball: Thank You for Asking"
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Charlotte
Harbor Event & Conference Center in
Punta Gorda.
Written by LaRusch and directed by
Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Lucille Ball
and Desi Arnaz, the comedic play chroni-
cles Ball's life through a series of reminis-
cences. The scene is set in 1974 when
Ball is 63 years old, reflecting on her
career accomplishments, as well as her
tempestuous and complicated marriage to


With Lucille Ball: Thank You for Asking'


Cuban bandleader turned impresario, Desi
Arnaz.
What can the audience expect? The
construct of the play is Ball answering
questions from the audience (recorded by
actors in a studio who were in some way
either related to Ball or worked with her).
As Ball answers them, she relives
moments from her life.
For example, she tells of trying to
convince CBS to cast Desi Arnaz as her
husband on the "I Love Lucy" show.
After Luci Arnaz saw the show in 2008,
she helped LaRusch rewrite the original
script.
"Luci shared some family anecdotes


unknown to the public and helped tie
everything together," LaRusch said. "Also,
her experience as a seasoned actress
was invaluable."
LaRusch started as a child actor in a
Kodak commercial at 18-months-old.
When she was a little girl in Hollywood,
she would spend hours glued to her tiny
TV set, watching Lucy's black-and-white
sitcoms. Her fascination with the so-called
queen of comedy evolved into a career as
the No. 1 Lucy impersonator in the
country.
"Lucille Ball was much, much more than
the zany redhead she portrayed who was
always getting into trouble," stated LaR-


usch, "she was a smart businesswoman, a
perfectionist and a 'classy broad.' Ball is
called the 'queen of television' and indeed,
she carried herself as a queen."
The running time for the show is
approximately two hours and includes a
15-minute intermission.
Tickets are available online at
www.charlotteplayers.org or call the Event
Center at 941-639-5833. Adult cost is $35
and $30; students, $25.
The Harbor Event & Conference Center
is located at 75 Taylor Road, Punta Gorda.

Banjo Bash to entertain
and raise cash for
youth scholarships
BY CHARLOTTE CZAJA
SUN CORRESPONDENT
w elve banjo bands from across the
country will convene at 6:30 p.m.
Friday and Saturday at the Charlotte
Harbor Event & Conference Center in
Punta Gorda to help children continue to
learn and excel at the craft of music.
The Gulf Coast Banjo Society is hosting
its inaugural Banjo Bash to help support
the Fretted Instrument Guild of America's
Scholarship Fund and various other
youth bands.
Music's influence is often lost because
of the cost of lessons and the general
expense of being in a band. The Banjo
Bash is hoping to help alleviate as much
of the cost as possible for some budding


musicians.
Banjo greats like Buddy Wachter and
Johnny Baier will be among
those performing.
"We are extremely
fortunate to have
musicians of this
caliber in our area,"
says Marilyn
Thorndycraft,
coordinator of Gallery &
Walk and volunteer for
Banjo Bash,
Buddy Wachter has
performed along side Amn-r-
can legends such as Benny Good-
man and Bob Hope and Johnny Baier is
the Canadian National Champion Banjoist.
Bands will come from all over the U.S.,
including the Houston All Stars Youth
Band, while others, like the Gulf Coast
Banjo Society and the Marco Island
Strummers, don't have far to travel. The


Ucr





il


Jazz Tradition, Nathan Hanna, Jim Riley,
Ragtime Riverboat Rats, Four Leaf
Strummer and Bill Moynihan
will all perform Friday
.. evening.
Mike Currao's
SAll American Banjo
Team featuring John
Wildeman, The
Sahib Banjo Band,
Dam Yankees and
.d. the Mid Florida Banjo
Band will be performing
Saturday evening. The
Houston All Stars will close the
evening both nights. Buddy Wachter and
Johnny Baier will perform both evenings
as well, with their larger show on
Saturday.
Joann Cassidy, who is helping coordi-
nate the Bash says it is going to be "a
wonderful evening for everyone not only


for the entertainment, but for the charity
as well."
The scholarship fund focuses on
children learning and playing fretted
instruments, which include but are not
limited to, the guitar, banjo, ukelele and
cello. The support being raised for the
children in the bands will be put
towards travel expenses, uniforms and
instrument repair.
Many people do not know that children
have to pay travel expenses, room and
board to go to musical competitions.
Selling candy bars and hosting car
washes can only get them so far, and the
Gulf Coast Banjo Society wants your
help in getting these children the rest of
the way.
Tickets will cost $5 prior to the event
and $8 at the door. Call either 941-833-
5444 ext. 0, or visit the Event Center at
75 Taylor Road in Punta Gorda for tickets.

'Married in a Fever'


PROVIDED BY TURNING LEAF PRODUCTIONS
Turning Leaf Productions Produc-
ers Valerie Sneade and Ed Loder
celebrate TLP's fifth anniversary in
style Friday Saturday when they
reprise their crowd-pleasing "Married in
a Fever The music of Johnny and
June" at the Cultural Center Theatre in
Port Charlotte.
The real-life couple is also celebrating
their fifth year of marriage, having tied
the knot onstage during a Hurricane
Charley benefit concert at
the start of Turning
Leaf's first season.
"Married in a
Fever" pays tribute
to one of country
music's all-time
great pairings:
Johnny Cash and
June Carter Cash.
The musical super-
stars brought their
personal chemistry tc ihe
stage and delighted audiences
for years.
So, too, do Loder and Sneade bring
their personal bond to the fore in their
performance.
Sneade has been performing since
her teen years in Massachusetts,
gracing stages from northern New
England to New Jersey's famed Paper
Mill Playhouse, and from New York
City's cabarets to the Grand Ole Opry
and south Florida.
Loder has taken a different path to the
spotlight. Loder made his name in the


entertainment business first as a sound
designer and technician, It was Sneade
who got him to move out into the
spotlight, and their "Johnny and June:
Married in a Fever" show was one of
TLP's most talked-about shows to date.
"My interest in Johnny Cash grew
when I realized the parallels between
his and June Carter's life and mine and
my wife's," Loder said. "It was eye
opening to realize that a man can be
tough and tender at the same time,
that he can possess great
rirength and yet be totally
S.................... vulnerable. And that the
Saright woman at the
-.. right time can stand
her ground and keep
him from the abyss."
"Married in a Fever"
c will be presented at
S7:30 p.m. Friday -
Saturday at the Cultural
Center Theatre in the
Cultural Center of Charlotte
County, 2280 Aaron St., Port Charlotte.
Tickets may be purchased by calling
TLP at 941- 206-LEAF (5323), the
Cultural Center box office at
941-625-4175, ext 222, or after hours at
941-380-2507, or go online to
www.TLPshows.com. TLP accepts
Master Card and Visa.
Tickets may be purchased two weeks
in advance of each show from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through Fridays or
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the box
office of The Cultural Center Theatre,
2280 Aaron St., Port Charlotte.


'Lend Me a Tenor'

BY KIM COOL with the opera company. Did I mention
FEATURES EDITOR that the real tenor has a wife, Maria
The Players production of "Lend Me (Kaylene McCaw)? Toph RcRae plays
a Tenor" raises the bar yet the part of a bellhop who is an
again at Sarasota's ardent fan of the tenor and
community theater. Led Patti O'Berg plays the
by Managing Director role of Julia, chairman
Michelle Pingle and 'of the opera guild
Artistic Director and also an
Jeffery Kin, The enthusiastic fan of
Players is finally Tito. When Max and
realizing its true Tito are both in
potential. Othello costumes


For proof, check out
this farce written by Ken
Ludwig and featuring
Kin as Max.
The story is about tenor, Tito Merelli
(Berry Ayers), who shows up late for an
appearance as Othello with the Cleve-
land Grand Opera Company. When it
seems as though he might not be able
to perform, the company's general
manager, Saunders (Bob Trisolini)
convinces Max to play the role. Adding
to the nonsense is Max's girlfriend
Maggie (Andrea Kimal) who thinks she
needs to possibly date a few more men
before committing to Max. She falls for
the tenor, not realizing the man she is
falling for is really Max. Also falling for
him is Diana (Lilian Moore), a soprano


.and make-up, zani-
ness ensues.
Kin is delightful,
proving that The Players has a
quadruple threat artistic director who
also can act. He proved his writing and
directing skills earlier this season with
"Red Hot Operetta." So is Trissolini, a
last-minute replacement who learned his
lines in just two weeks. Actually, this
cast is perfect and so is the directing by
Roberta MacDonald, well-known to
Golden Apple audiences as an actress
and director.
"Lend Me a Tenor" continues through
Feb. 21 at The Players, 838 North
Tamiami Trail, Sarasota.
For tickets, visit www.theplayers.org or
call 941-365-2494.

Bartender

of the WEEK


SUN PHOTO BY SHARE DERRICKSON
Bartenders Lynne Forrest, left, and sister Jan Marz are what keeps the place ticking,
owner Billy Nolan, center, says.

Sister act -

Jan Marz and Lynne Forrest



Willie's


BY SHARE DERRICKSON
SUN CORRESPONDENT
I f you walk into Willie's in
Port Charlotte, chances are you
will hear boisterous laughs
coming from behind the bar.
Bartender Jan Marz's laugh is
the contagious full-out laugh while
Lynne Forrest's is a bit more
demure, but no less genuine.
The two have been working as
bartenders for Willie's for many
years. Lynne started there eight
years ago, and Jan, about five.
Lynne talked Jan into moving from
her previous job to Willie's because
she knew Jan would be fun to work
with. They are, after all, sisters.
When asked to describe one
another, the two get laughing so
hard, they find it difficult to talk.
"Let's see," Lynne said, pausing. "I
guess I would have to say that she
is the funniest." On cue, Jan had
people sitting at the bar laughing.
When it came time for Jan to talk
about her sister, "I'd have to say she
has the biggest heart." It is obvious


the two women are close.
"And she listens."
"We don't get to spend too much
time together because our shifts
are different, but even we aren't at
work, we tell each other everything,"
Jan said.
The two see each other as savvy
behind the bar, but tough as well.
"We don't let things get out of hand
here," Jan said. "But most everyone
that comes in here are locals and
we all know each other and get
along."
"I love doing this," Lynne said.
"But we should be psychiatrists
sometimes," she said, laughing of
course.
Billy Nolen, the owner of the
establishment, knows the two are a
winning combo. "They are my right
and my left hand. I can go on
vacation and know everything is
going to go smoothly. And, they
sure liven things up."
Willie's is located at 4095 Tamiami
Trail Port Charlotte. For more
information, call 941-624-2245.


'Wolfman'

BY RICK WARNER
BLOOMBERG NEWS
The arms and legs begin to
stretch. The hands turn into razor-
sharp claws. The teeth grow
jagged, the head and body sprout
coarse hair and the eyes gleam with a
ferocious killer's stare.
Benicio Del Toro's creepy transforma-
tion from man to beast is the highlight
of "The Wolfman," an otherwise unin-
spired remake of the 1941 horror
classic starring Lon Chaney Jr. as the
poor sucker who becomes a werewolf
after getting bitten by one.
Chaney was typecast as a monster
after that. Del Toro, who won an Oscar
for "Traffic," better hope that viewers
forget his cheesy performance here as
soon as possible.
Director Joe Johnston, whose
eclectic resume includes "October Sky"
and "Jurassic Park III," pulls out all the
stops to make us scream and bite our
lips. Quick cuts build tension. Thumping,
ominous music warns us when some-
thing terrifying is about to happen.
Special effects make the werewolf's
bloody attacks look even more savage.
(If severed heads and chopped-off arms
disturb you, don't even think about
buying a ticket.)
Yet it's all too predictable and by the
book. Even with a few plot twists that
aren't in the original movie, I was hardly
shocked or awed. While it's sleeker and
more sophisticated than the Chaney

MOVIE
REVIEW


version, this new "Wolfman" isn't any
scarier.
Unlike the original, which was set in
20th-century Wales, the remake takes
place in Victorian England, where
celebrated actor Lawrence Talbot
(Del Toro) returns home after a long
absence to help find his missing
brother. Soon after arriving, he learns
that his brother is the latest victim of a
vicious creature -- or possibly deranged
human -- that has been killing and
mutilating local residents.
Some of the villagers blame the
attacks on Gypsies, who struck me as
rather harmless, excluding their
annoying habit of making cryptic
predictions by candlelight. One of the
Gypsies is played by Geraldine Chaplin,
whose father Charlie limited his facial
hair to a toothbrush mustache.

A section of the Sun

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

Cafe Evergreen:


The place to
BY CHUCK BALLARO
SUN CORRESPONDENT
T thousands of people per year come
to Warm Mineral Springs in North
Port to heal themselves in its
natural waters.
Now comes a restaurant on the
grounds whose owner hopes to follow in
the springs' footsteps as a healthy place
to go after a long dip.
Cafe Evergreen has been open only
five months, but it has made a name for
itself for its homemade soups, delicious
smoothies and healthy offerings at a
reasonable price.
"This was a polish cafe," said Ted
Weinberger, owner and operator of the
cafe. "It had a different decor. The outside
furniture was the inside furniture and we
repainted the fans and ceilings."
Weinberger, who worked with major
chains in the restaurant field for more
than 20 years, found the restaurant on
Craig's List, and after some talking to
the bank and those at the springs, he
bought it.
"It's hard to judge business, We have no
history to base it on," Weinberger said.
"We want to expand on business outside
the water and beautiful setting."
Warm Mineral Springs gets much of its
business from Eastern Europeans who
come down to visit. So it's no shock Cafe
Evergreen has fashioned some of its
menu to cater to them.
Borsch, a Russian soup with beets,


go for your I
potatoes, carrots, and many other
vegetables, is a favorite, as is the Hum-
mus, a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine.
Among the favorite dishes are the
Quinoa Pilaf, an unusual grain which
carries the highest protein content of any
grain in the world; the avocado wrap,
which is packed with healthy fats; and the
Wild Alaskan Salmon, filled with Omega-3
fatty acids and protein.
And all three dishes are under $10.
"Every two months we change the
menu," Weinberger said. "The breaded
chicken does well as does the spa pasta.
The Borsch is popular during good soup
weather."
Cafe Evergreen also features all-natural
smoothies with real fruit and no added
sugar. The almond milk smoothie has an
amazing 90 calories and is said to be
healthier than soy milk.
Even the beer, wine and iced tea they
serve is organic.
As a sidebar, the cafe also sells artwork
from local artists, one of them, Millie
Marich, is a massage therapist at the
springs.
The cafe also serves the community,
as evidenced by the four-course
gourmet charity dinner they held
Valentine's Day weekend to support
Habitat for Humanity.
Warm Mineral Springs plans to create
an organic garden the size of a football
field to supply the cafe with the herbs
and vegetables it needs to make its


health
cuisine.
"We're position-
ing ourselves for
a healthy lifestyle,
for people who
don't want to
pump themselves
full of drugs,"
Weinberger said.
Warm Mineral
Springs is located
at 12200 San
Servando Ave.,
North Port.
For more
information, call
Cafe Evergreen
at 941-429-8575.

The Quinoa Pilaf features steamed quinoa and brown rice with
aromatic herbs and vegetables and served on a bed of greens.
The Cafe Evergreen offers nearly all its dishes for under $10.

Map the microcosms of the world


BY MIKE MUSGROVE
THE WASHINGTON POST
On a cold Sunday morning in
Washington, none of the two-
dozen scruffy students and
techie folks crowded into one side of a
bustling cafe noticed as Steve Coast,
a 29-year-old British programmer,
moseyed in and joined their ranks.
They didn't realize it, but there was the
man with a plan to map the world.
They were there to do their part, but
that's the funny thing about being the
leader of a large, online movement:
Everybody knows your name, but
nobody recognizes you.
The citizen cartographers, known as
MappingDC, had gathered to help

complete Coast's interactive map of
the globe or at least Washington's
corner of it.
"Maps are expensive and propri-
etary," said Coast, sipping on his
coffee and explaining the core tenets
of the project, called OpenStreetMap.
"They should be free."
Coast had the idea for
OpenStreetMap in 2004, when he was
a student living in London. Coast had
a GPS and a laptop, and he figured
that with a little programming magic he
could build a map of his local haunts
that contained more useful information
than any service he could find online.
What's more, he said, "I figured that

did that, then, together, we could put
together a jigsaw map of the world."
Since that day, a few hundred
thousand people around the planet
have pitched in online to enter infor-
mation about everything from the
name of their local library to an area's
handicap accessibility.
Google hires workers to record the
street-level images used in its map
service. But "a couple of guys driving a
truck down a street don't viscerally
care" about whether they captured
your neighborhood's streets exactly
right, said Coast, who was in Washing-
ton to attend a conference by the U.S.
Geological Survey.
OpenStreetMap project members
argue that their map is better than
paper versions because it can be
instantly corrected. Again, like
Wikipedia, the belief is that the
wisdom of the crowd will prevail
or fix errors.
Anyone with the technical skill can
download information to contribute to
the OpenStreetMap project. A handful
of map services available at Apple's
App Store use the project's data,


Q: I'm changing Internet
providers and will have to
switch my e-mail address. To
avoid this problem in the future, I'm
thinking of switching to a Web-mail
service. Should I go with Gmail,
Hotmail or Yahoo?
A: Looking beyond your Internet
provider for your e-mail can end the
need to send change-of-address
notices every few years. It should also
get you better access: Mass-market
mail services such as Comcast's or
Verizon's use an old system, Post
Office Protocol, that works poorly
unless you read your mail only on one
computer or on their Web-mail sites.
Among those three free Web-mail
services, I'd rule out Yahoo first
because it doesn't let you download
messages to a computer unless you
pay $20 a year for a "Yahoo Plus"
account. I've also been disappointed
with Yahoo's spam filter and find its
Web interface a mess.
Hotmail does allow downloading a
huge plus, since it means you can
never lose access to your e-mail but
only via POP. Its spam filter needs
work, and it adds an annoying advertis-
ing tagline to every message you send,
but the site looks cleaner than Yahoo.
Gmail allows downloading via POP
but also supports a newer, far more
useful standard called IMAP (Internet
Message Access Protocol) that lets you
sync your messages among multiple
computers.
But you have to be OK with Google's
computers scanning the text of your
messages to match up relevant ads.
One free option this reader didn't
recommend comes from AOL, which
also offers POP and IMAP access but,
in my experience, has an ineffectual
spam filter.
You can also often get a permanent
e-mail address at your college's alumni
Web site or by registering your own
domain name. In each case, you can
then have mail sent to that address
forwarded automatically to the inbox of
your choice at a service like Gmail
or your regular Internet provider's. To
send mail from the new account, you
need only change your mail program's
settings.

including OpenMaps, OffMaps and
MapTap.
MappingDC, formed last summer,
holds such "mapping parties" on a
semi-regular basis. Serge Wroclawski,
one of the local group's leaders,
admitted that the outings aren't
absolutely necessary, since anybody
with a computer connection and a few
skills can contribute to
OpenStreepMap on their own. But
such events are a decent excuse for
the project's enthusiasts to get togeth-
er, and maybe spread the word.
"It's about making a better map than
Google," said member Chris Coving-
ton. "It's about making the best map
possible."

FEATURES EDITOR
It is time for what some people lovingly
refer to as the Feast of the Galloping
Consumption.
Officially the event is known as the
Italian American Festival. For four days,
Feb. 18-21, there will be fun and games
and dancing and music and most of all
- food at the Venice Airport Festival
Grounds.
Sponsored by the Italian American
Club, the 22nd annual festival opens at
4 p.m. Feb. 18 and 19 and at noon
Feb. 20-21. Events end at 10 p.m. each day.
Admission is free although there is a
$3 charge per car for parking.
One of the most popular annual
events in Venice, the annual event draws
upwards of 30,000 revelers to the site.
The best seller is the sausage and
pepper sandwich on pita and the most
popular activity is riding carnival rides,
which include a giant merry-go-round.
For the two or three festival goers who
might not like sausage and peppers,
members of the club provide most any
other Italian and American festival food
one could desire.
For at least this one weekend,
everyone in Venice is Italian and while
you can find plenty of foot-long hot
dogs, it is the Italian food that keeps


people coming back for more. Think
stromboli, tirimisu, Melanzana, calzones,
meatballs, spaghetti, faggioli and
dematasi. There are always plenty of
tables in the food tent for festival goers
to sit and enjoy the good food without
feeling rushed.
There also will be a Budweiser tent
and an air-conditioned bar tent in case
the weather is warmer than it has been
this winter.
Enjoy traditional Italian music and
dancing such as the tarantella as well as
music by festival favorites like Bandana
and Two of a Kind.
The club's gondola will be there for
photo ops and Mote Marine Laboratory
is expected to have a booth with
interactive exhibits for the children.
Proceeds from the festival provide
scholarships to graduating seniors at
Venice High School.
The festival grounds are at 400 E.
Airport Ave., on the island in Venice.
From the south, enter the island via the
Circus Bridge. Turn left at Avenue del
Circo and left again on Airport Road.
Follow that road to the festival grounds,
which are along the side of the Venetian
Waterway Park, on the south side
of the airport.

Arts Council reaches out with 'webisodes'


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Still in the process of reinventing
itself, the Sarasota County Arts
Council is embarking on a new
outreach campaign to increase aware-
ness of all that is available along the
Cultural Coast.
Social media marketing techniques
including weekly video "webisodes" will
focus on individual artists as well as arts
organizations to bring attention to their
talents and programs and will be
distributed locally and nationally
via the internet.
Dubbed The Art Whisperer, the
campaign is a collaborative effort of the
Gulf Coast Community Foundation of
Venice, The Hub and LocalSocial.net.


The foundation funded the redesign of
the council's Web site through a grant a
year ago. The Hub is an interactive
destination for entrepreneurs and artists,
among others.
LocalSocial will create the webisodes.
"It's fitting that the Arts Council is
partnering on such a creative campaign
to promote our region's creative capital,"
said Teri A Hansen, foundation president
and CEO, in a release announcing the
campaign. "This innovative project will
extend the brand of our entire cultural
community and introduce new audi-
ences to our vital arts organizations."
Joey Panek and Christine Alexander
are the hosts of the new show which is
at www.ArtWhisperer. Twelve initial
episodes are planned.

making this year's event at Laishley Park
even bigger and better than previous
years. The festivities start at 5.30 p.m.
on Friday on the roof of the Herald
Court Centre in downtown Punta Gorda,
with a pre-event meet'n'greet party.
Music will be provided by a Charlotte
Symphony Jazz Quartet and wines from
Terry Seitz Winery and Big Crush
Distribution will be on sale to help get
the Wine & Jazz Festival swinging.
Performers from the festival will be on
hand as well as an auction of auto-
graphed specialty wines from the
festival. Tickets are $20 and can be
purchased in advance in the online
payment center of www.puntagor-
dachamber.com or at the door starting
at 5.30pm. This portion of the event will
run until 8 p.m.
Saturday, the focus switches to
Laishley Park, Punta Gorda, when the
Wine and Jazz Festival proper kicks off
at 1 p.m., with Max McCann and the
Displacements taking the stage. A
record 30 vendors will be on hand
offering their food and wine offerings, all
of which is included in the one ticket


price. Leading into the headliners, will
be the first ever performance of the
Charlotte Symphony Jazz Orchestra a
28-piece group formed under the
direction of Maestro T Francis Wada.
The culmination of the festival will be a
joint starring performance by Miss Mindi
Abair and Peter White. Mindi was
featured in last year's festival and
brought the house down will a truly
amazing performance. Immediately after
the show last year, the festival organiz-
ers worked with Mindi to ensure her
return in 2010 and worked out a special
package to add jazz guitar virtuoso
Peter White into the performances.
Tickets have been selling rapidly and
this year may reach a sell-out capacity
before the show, so anyone without a
ticket is recommended to visit the Punta
Gorda Chamber Web site and order
their tickets today.
All ticket purchases made from today
will be held at the Will Call tent at the
Park for collection. Tickets are $75 plus
tax and include all the entertainment,
food, beverages and a welcome bag
with wine glasses and much more.
Online ticket ordering will be suspended
on Friday and should any tickets
remain, they will be available for
purchase at the park, starting 12.30 p.m.
when the park will open to ticket holders
only. Folding chairs will be provided but
guests are welcome to bring their own
lawn chairs, should they prefer. No dogs
or coolers are allowed.
