OF FLORIDA GAINSUILLE FL 32611 County to hold public hearing on charter issue Commissioners will decide Sept. 14 whether to put a measure imposing restrictions on city land- use changes on the November ballot. No injuries in fire on Seaboard Avenue BYSTEVEN J. SMITH STAFF WRITER If you have an opinion about how the land in Sara- sofa County is annexed and developed, you've just been given an opportunity to speak your mind about it. Over the objections of protesting city officials from Venice and North Port, Sara- sota County commissioners voted 4-1 at a workshop Thursday to hold a public hearing on the sensitive issue of land annexation. Com- missioner Paul Mercier was the lone dissenter, The public hearing will take place on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 2 p.m. at the Robert .L. Anderson Building, 4000 South Tamiami Trail in Ven- ice. "People who have been talking forever about express- ing their views will now have ah opporttinity to come for- ward," said County Commis- sioner Shannon Staub. SPECIAL SESSION Venice Mayor Fred Hammett has called a special city coun- cil meeting for 2 p.m. today (Friday) to discuss hiring an attorney jointly with the North Port City Commission to con- test placing the proposed charter amendment on the November ballot. The meet- ing will be held in council chambers at Venice City Hall, 401 W. Venice Ave. "I have a feeling it will like- ly go to a ballot," she added. The proposed ballot issue does not prevent annexations from occurring. Rather, it would provide that when land in the unincorporated area of THIS EDITION the county outside of the urban service boundary is annexed into a municipality, that.land retains the designa- Stion given by the county's future land use map - unless the ,county and f municipality agree upon a designation sforn the land. A public hearing is Staub. necessary in order to have an ordinance go to the super- visor of elections in time for the public to vote on it in November. "That doesn't mean it's going to pass." said Staub, "but wouldn't it be nice to come to closure on this issue? (This action) forces coopera- tion on a land use designation and what your use of that land is going to be." Staub added that should the county eventually be- come an empowered partner in forced cooperation with the cities, "at least the county Would have a say in what's going to happen to lands that are rural in nature now that could become very high den- sity urban areas (in the fu-. .ture)."

When they arrived, flames were coming from the roof of the building that houses sev- eral businesses. About 16 firefighters fought the blaze using a lad- der truck and three engines. It took them about 20 min- utes to put out the fire. No one was injured. The fire is under investi- gation. which is standard procedure. Early indications are that it may have started in a ventilation unit located on the roof of the building. No damage estimate was available.

SMITH STAFF WRITER. Kathy Dent isn't expecting a huge voter turnout on Pri- mary Day. And so far, early voting indicates her low expecta-' tions are being met. Dent, the supervisor of elections in Sarasota County, said Tuesday herexpectations of a lower turnout were due to several components: The upcoming election is a pri- mary; election day is part of a holiday weekend; and Trop- ical Storm Ernesto was lurk- ing in the background to dis- rupt things. "So many factors affect turnout," she said. "But as of (Tuesday morning), 5,624 have voted early. We've also had requests for 12,360 ab- sentee ballots. To date, 5,816 of them have been returned."

By the time the Polls opened on the morning of election day an impressive 38 percent of the voters had already participated in the Selection. We look like we're right on i target for 2006," Dent said. S"Of course, our turnout won't be 81.6 percent.. It's going to F be more like 30-35 percent." Dent quickly added that six tubs of.mail had -just arrived, full of uncounted bal- lots. "So that's going to put the m number up," she said. "Plus, this is the first time that we've had the additional sites, which normally have been in three branch offices in SSarasota, Venice and North Port." Those extra four sites are located in North Port City Hall, North Cbunty Library, Fruitville Library and Gulf Gate Library. Big success Early voting is a relatively new concept, Dent said. "We started it in 2002 in Sarasota County," she added, "because with the new voting system we were able to put every ballot style on every one of our machines for early vot- ing. So if a voter from North Port walked into a Sarasota office, we could pull up their specific ballot style." Based on where they live, voters in the county have a specific ballot style, Dent explained.

BiTOi MCINTYRE STAFF WRITER The idea of rehabilitating Sthe historic Nokomis Pavilion got a jump start in April 2002 when a piece of roof fell on a woman's head. Then fol- lowed a flurry of activity, mostly talk, about how to fix the dilapidated structure. Fouiryears later, the ques- tion is, how far along is the rehab? The Venice Gondolier Sun submitted a list of questions to Sarasota County Parks and Recreation General Man- ager John McCarthy by e-mail. "We are currently hoping to have our CCCL (Coastal Construction Control Line) permit by the end of the year,". McCarthy stated, 'and 'award a construction con- tract in the spring." Caveats McCarthy issued some caveats regarding the design and construction timeline: County engineers must .be on time with their review of the final plans. The construction con- tract award must be timely and without problems. The county historic board review must go smoothly. Finally, all the permitting must go without a hitch. McCarthy said construc- tion will take about a year. FDEP involved In March, county staff In.embers involved with the * I - project traveled to Tallahas- see to meet with the Florida Department of Environmen- tal Protection Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Sys- tems. The intent of the meeting was to discuss the CCCL permit application for the project with FDEP staff. FDEP had requested addi- tional information. The pavilion has been re- named. It is now the Noko- mis Beach Plaza. The rehab is being paid for by state grants and the 1-cent sales tax. It will cost roughly $600,000. What's ahead? The pavilion's original de- sign and color scheme will be preserved. There wNill be a community room and an outdoor plaza. The restrooms will be modernized while maintain- ing their original character. Plans are complete for a new parking lot and side- iwalk, a new dune walkover and a new septic system plan. Revised lighting plans will ensure the protection of sea turtles. You can e-mail Tommy Mclntyre at: tmcintyre@ venicegondolier.com. . uecoraliie 51yle lor inslallment during Ihe season.

"' A 4 /ALIJWIIIO U NIfL(YLI I -)UNIW Shortage of plans for Osprey revitalization BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN CORRESPONDENT Revitalization of Osprey's waterfront may have to wait still longer following a nega- tive response 'to the latest proposal by the Osprey Revit- alization Committee. The proposed renewal has been' stalled for 19 months because no one seemed able to come up with an accept- able plan. Changes to the waterfront of the former fishing village presented to the committee Monday evening and at a workshop for abutting property owners on Bayside Drive Tuesday evening were met with dis- approval. Identifying the proposed new community as Osprey Village Square a name the committee vigorously reject- ed proponents offered a plan that differed significant- ly from the one originally proposed in January 2005. The committee has been re- luctant from the outset to endorse a proposal because of the community's fear that it will be cut off from the, waterfront., The first proposal for a ,5.5-acre parcel between Bay Streetand Bavview Drive to the south and west of U.S. 41 was.for a mixed-use develop- ment. It would have included 55 two-storycondominiums over parking spaces built along the waterfront and toward the center of the par- cel. Eleven retail units of about 1.500 square feet were proposed along the highway. Apartments were to be add- ed on a second story. Revitalization of the Qs- prey waterfront, part of the original communitywide plan, was set for 14 acres of land west of U.S. 41 to the Intracoastal Waterway, and from the Hidden Bay condo- minium community north to OspreyVillage. It was hoped from the start that the entire tract could be developed by a single entity. But the proposal for the 5.5. acres has been the only one submitted. Blockage? Residents, who had seen a preliminary site plan, feared that the original proposal would block access to the Dr. David Shoemaker, left, chief executive officer of the Center for Sight, accepts an accessibility award from Rex Schreckenghaust of the city of Venice Accessibility Advisory Committee.

Spanish Point Marina Grille. a popular waterfront restau- rant, and reduce parking for patrons. The restaurant. which is owned by the devel- oper, Dr. Anil Patel, can be reached on land only via, Bavview, which is within his parcel. The revised, proposal, which would require amend- ing the Sarasota County com- prehensive plan, includes six townhouses and 30 condo-" miniums within a single building 45 feet high in the residential portion.

STAFF REPORT Four Republican candi- dates are seeking two seats on the Sarasota Memorial Hos- pital Board. The winner in the central district will be seated, while the victor in the south- ern district will face a Demo- cratic opponent in the No- vember general election. Central District, Seat 2 In the race for Sarasota Hospital Board, Central Dis- trict, Seat 2, Dr. Thomas E Kelly is running against Alex- andra C. Miller. Kelly co-established the heart surgery program at Sa- rasota Memorial Hospital in 1983. He has been practicing as a heart'surgeon since 1980.

First, however, the subject of spending came up. Though spending was reportedly on the rise, the myriad county services given life from that spending received wide- spread support. Sheriff Bill Balkwill was on hand to tell the commission- ers that the final floor of the percent increase in arrests, especially in South County. With upcoming increases in staff, that number will in- crease, he said. News of nodes Another item on the agen- da was a report from Anthony Beckford, general manager of SCAT. Beckford spoke of sched- ules and enhancements he and his staff were exploring to make the service more effi- cient. more efficient service routes and times. The commissioners then approved an additional $1.8 million for SCAT to initiate extended service ofi nine bus routes. The route affecting south county is Route 17, which goes from Sarasota to the train depot. Committed As for the Rails to Trails project, the commissioners recognized the need for an additional $5 million from the filing of the application for permits for the two mid- trestles, for Roberts and Dona bays. They also committed in next year's budget to fund the construction of the Dona and Roberts bay trestles once the permits are approved. Staub saw the need for early permitting to speed the process along. "We don't think the tres- tles, because of the permit- ting, will actually be built in 2007-08 but we committed as VOTINGfrom Page 1A against Republicans. Another might represent elections being held in particular House districts. "Some (voters) get House District 71, some get House District 70, some 69," she said. "We have to make sure people get the right ballot." Here in the land of early risers and the early-bird din- ner, the concept of early vot- ing is scoring a big success.' "I can't even tell you how many thank-yous we've been getting, for being open on Saturday and Sundays, pro- viding people with other opportunities to vote," Dent said.

Venice Mayor Fred Ham- mett came forward next and echoed Tow- er's remarks, threatening to "go to court" over the con- troversy. - Mercier then moved to direct staff to set up the necessary dis- Mercier cussions with Venice and North Port offi- cials to further explore the is- sue. No one would second his motion. Commissioner Jon Thax- ton then moved for a public hearing to be held to discuss the charter amendment. His motion passed, 4-1. "I can't accept this," Mer- cier complained. "This is making our problems worse. It's just too soon." Commissioner Nora Pat- terson disagreed. "I want a public hearing," she said. "What I look at is the 'impact, not just on county planning of land use, but also of ififra- structure." She added that Venice had made a number of questionable Patterson development decisions lately, unfavorably "changing the character of the area." Too fast' After the meeting, Tower expressed his frustration. "They're. rushing too quick into this important decision," he said, adding that any annexation decision now incorporating county input could have a negative impact on current development in North Port. "It could change our land use that we've already grant- ed Thomas Ranch, which is a special district," he said. "Alot of the infrastructure is in. They paid to run a water and sewer line from our plant at Pan American and 41 all the way up. They've spent mil- lions of dollars." Tower felt that a public hearing occurring 50 days or so before the election on an issue with so.many local per- mutations offered too little time to educate the elec- torate. "It's too fast," he said. "And government's not known for moving fast." You can e-mail Steven J. Smith at: smith @sun-herald.com. RACE . "I'm walking door-to-door every day," said Dubin. "He's got 50 paid volunteers, and 1,000 huge signs." Holder did not return tele- phone messages. Politics as sport Holder moved to Sarasota from Palm Beach County last year. The incumbent legisla- tor, Nancy Detert, R-Venice, was term-limited, and is run- ning for the District 13 con- gressional seat. Holder rents a house in Palmer Ranch from which he runs a business, Doug Holder Real Estate Services. He recently bought a lot in The Oaks and joined the country club there as an equi- ty member. SHe has also joined the Venice and Sarasota cham- bers of commerce. But the license plate frame on the back of his Jaguar XJS - featured in a Dubin mailer - still reads "Palm Beach Motor Sports." "The self-financed cam- paign is an increasingly com- mon phenomenon national- ly," said University of South Florida political science pro- fessor Susan McManus, who is also a political consultant. "Wealthy men used to spend their money on sports teams. Now it's politics." And it's not always \ani- ty-driven, a shot at a posi- tion of,prestige; and influ- ence that motivates them, she said. "Sometimes they're issue- driven. It's not the salary that motivates them. They have strong ideas about the direc- tion the state (or nation) is- going, and think they'll have more clout if they can get elected. "And, power," she said, "is addictive." A player But why this area? U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Longboat Key, spent a fortune 'winning her seat in Congress and onher uphill campaign for the U.S. Senate. Now Buchanan and Holder think they can go the same route. "That whole area... is just a real player in politics," Mc- Manus said. "The people there are so politically attentive. They're well educated, they're affluent and a lot of them are retired and have the time to be active in politics." And in this area, there are people who can afford to fi- nance campaigns, or support them, she said. McManus said she is invited to speak all over West Cenitral Florida, but finds herself ad- dressing groups in the Sarasota area more than anywhere else. "And it's not just Republicans, either. It's both sides of the aisle." *~~~~~.2 -' 1'ITT7n ~CB~B~`I A' iI4.

All of these candidates are Republicans. The winner in the charter review board race will take the seat, while the victor in the hos- pital board southern district will face' a Democratic opponent in November. (There's also a seat in the hospital board's central district being contested. We were unable to interview one of the candidates in that race and therefore won't be making a recommendation.) Dan McLeroy Jr. and Millicent Puleo are vying for the charter review board district 2 seat. Choosing among candidates for charter review board is a lot like evaluating judicial candidates: Because they may end up pass- ingjudgment on charter amendments, they usually don't want to offer opinions on them ahead of time. And that's OK, for position in which neutrality is a key qualification.. In our opinion, McLeroy, resident of Sarasota County for 44 of his 48 years, is the better candidate for charter review board. He has a greater knowledge of the com- munity, having grown up, attended school and worked all over the county. He has been. active as a leader in a variety of civic organi- zations and said he is at a time in his life when he can get involved at a governmental level. He said the charter review board. isn't a policy-making body, while Puleo, who also has a fine resume of volunteer activity, said she would work to require a paper trail from county voting machines and to impose stricter growth limits. Those goals are ones we might support, but the impetus for them needs to come to the charter review board from somewhere else, in our opinion. We recommend Dan McLeroy Jr. for Sarasota County Charter Review Board District 2. Lyn Cassan and Jerry Phillips are the can- didates for Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board Southern District Seat 1. (In the inter- est of full disclosure, Phillips writes a wine column for our Let's Go! section; that isn't a factor in our recommendation.) Cassan is a former employee of SMH, in the PR department; she lost her job in a downsizing. She says there are no hard feel- ings, but she gave SMH CEO Gwen McKenzie a "C+" when asked to grade her, saying patient, doctor and staff satisfaction are low and too much emphasis is being placed on the bottom line. Phillips, a real estate appraiser, served on the board from 1994 to 1998. That was a period of pushing for more out- patient services and facilities, which got the hospital more competitive, but also a time. when the board was wrapping up some legal battles and seeing the start of the reimburse-, ment problems that plague the hospital today. Dealing with those problems has required some belt-tightening and will take more in the future. In a public hospital the bottom line can't be the only consideration, but it certainly has to be a big one, and SMH has a history of financial decisions from con- tracts with physicians to land purchases --in. which it came out on the short'end of the,: deal. Cassan has some good ideas and would be a valuable board member. But we give the nod to Phillips for his board experience,: deeper ties to the area and expertise in land matters (he's also educated as a lawyer). .. We recommend JeiryPhillips for Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board Southern District Seat. Don't play with matches or you might get burned THAT VIDEO T NUDITYL SY r oWu N AT VENICE. HI6H SCHOOL IFI | 1ANE 10 EXPLAIN IT MARY KAY RUPPEL COLUMNIST A pilot project initiated by Congress in 1996, in which. 11,000 businesses are pafiIq ,: paring, has devised a system that I will call "No Match." The system is supposed to make it simpler for employers to root out people offering bogus identification. The information provided by the applicant is forwarded by a computer system to a federal agency that deter- mines if the data submitted by the applicant are legiti- mate. If not, a "no match" let- ter is sent to the employer. The culprit, of course, is falsified or stolen Social Se- curity cards. And the perpe- trators are, of course, general- ly illegal aliens. By the way, so far 8.1 million no matches have been discovered and 128,000 letters sent to em- ployers. What really takes the teeth out of the project is allowing employers to submit 10 no- matches before the govern- ment gets on their case. I wonder if my bank would allow me to write 10 bad checks before getting upset. I don't think so. Why are we pussyfooting around the problem of illegal aliens like this? Could it be that employers are being intimidated by labor and pro- immigration groups into not cooperating fully with federal agencies by telling them they are leaving themselves open to discrimination law suits? I gave up asking long ago why these groups encourage and support illegal immigra- tion, when we all know that the proliferation in our society of illegal immigrants is a slap in the face of every legitimate citi- zen, and in particular aliens who have gone to the time and trouble to enter this land of milk and honey legally. A spokesman for Florida Republican Sen. Mel Martin- ez, who helped negotiate the Senate immigration bill, said, "We're supportive of enforc- ing our current immigration laws, and we wouldn't want to hinder our agencies from doing that." So far so good, untilhe adds, "but we need to be really:are- ful that we don't create overly burdensome regulations for our businesses." There we go, pussyfooting again. Of course, employers should not bear the onus of being the only cops in the war against illegal immigration. Our borders must be made more secure. Why are, we pussyfooting around enforcing more strin- gent border control? As a kid I often traveled with my family from Detroit to Canada. On our way back home, I was the designated "bottle sitter." Yes, I had to sit innocently on the Canadian Club, hoping that Canadian border patrol would not pull an innocent child out of the car. Luckily, we never got caught because we would not have gone home for quite a while and would have paid some steep fines for our little transgression. 'One of my grandparents came to the United States from Germany. He was so proud to be an American that as a stone mason by trade, he made a replica of the Statue of Liberty, which was installed over their fireplace mantle. The other side came from Ireland, and I heard the sto- ries of how people would cross over to the other side of a street when an Irishman walked by. Back in the days when they were coming to this country, stowaways on ships were treated quite roughly and then sent back where they, came from. Why don't we do that at our borders? We did not get to be the country where just about everyone wants to live by being wimps. So, why are we so negligent about protecting the integrity of our country? Why, why, why?

High achievers aren't overachievers Editor: I take umbrage at your headline writer's exceedingly poor word choice in last Friday's article, "Overpopulation affects even overachievers." Having spent a career instructing Academic, or Advanced Placement, or Honors, or College Prep, or whatever this week's fashionable term may be, let me attempt to explain to that headline writer that someone who has the mental capacity and the drive to succeed is doing exactly what a school system should expect: He or she is "achieving." However, someone with an IQ of 95 who somehow manages to survive an Advanced Placement course in English Language and Literature and earn a score of 5 on the AP exam is over- achieving. That student is doing more than anyone has the right to expect from him or her. The student who has the ability and the gifts to achieve at the highest levels should not be demeaned by labeling him or her an overachiever. The term as used in that headline is insult- ing. Chad Martin Venice SCAT drivers deserve a break room Editor: I write in regards to the train depot SCAT bus termi- nal located by the Venice Avenue Bridge and the In- tracoastal Waterway. It is a wonderful idea for the SCAT buses to continue to use this as a main transfer point for the North Port, Englewood, Venice and Sara- sota routes. The building has been restored so invitingly. Yet, I cannot .understand with the buses using this as a stop-transfer why the drivers do not have access to any small office meeting area within the building of the train depot, to have an area where drivers have access to small yet useful times to enjoy a moment at least between route drives. The main transfer point located in downtown Sara- sota has an area where drivers may have use of some items, whether it may be table and chairs, microwave, small refrigerators, etc. Perhaps our citizens could allow such to occur at the South County transfer point at the train depot. Those SCAT bus drivers deserve that and more. Sheryl Armstrong Venice Military gets lip service only Editor: As a 50-year Republican who objects to the hijacking of the "Grand Old Party" over the past 10 years by ultra- conservatives, I find it ironic that abuse of our military is being done under the guise of supporting our troops. Here are examples I see where this current adminis- tration only gives lip service to troop support: The unemployment rate for young veterans ages 20-24 is twice has high as for their! civilian nonveteran counter- parts. The U.S. Air Force is fac- ing losses of pilots eligible to leave the service in droves. * 30,000 disabled military retirees had the rug yanked out from under them when the Pentagon decided they were not eligible for full re- tirement and disability checks because unemploya- bility was a factor in their being rated 100 percent dis- abled. The 2007 House Defense Appropriations Bill includes a pay raise for our troops of 2.2 percent, while federal em- ployees who seldom face combat are targeted to have a pay raise of 2.7 percent. Both the Republican House and Senate proposed in August cutting the Defense Appropriations Funding for traumatic brain injury re- search and treatment by nearly 50 percent. Flexible GI benefits need- ed for the 21st Century were left in limbo by the "do-noth- ing Congress" in 2006. Military hospitals are experiencing the worst nurs- ing shortage in five years. The demand for rotation- al combat assignments has resulted in the changing of the goal line for overseas duty. It is time to get outraged and take action. Vote in the upcoming primaries in Sep- member and the general elec- tion in November. John T. Halbert Lieutenant colonel SU.S. Air Force (ret.) Nokomis Credit where credit is due Editor: Cardinal Mooney High School thanks all the agencies involved with the recent mer- cury spill. Cardinal Mooney High School commends the offi- cials from the Florida De- partment of Environmental Protection, Sarasota County Hazardous Waste Manage- ment; Sarasota County Fire Department and the Sarasota County Health Department for their prompt response and resolution to the incident regarding the mercury spill that occurred during the first week of school. Janna Konke Cardinal Mooney It's all laid out in the Bible Editor: The "idea of a Jewish homeland" was not thought of in 1948. The land once call- ed Canaan, Palestine, then Israel, was part of the Abra- hamic Covenant given by God to the Jewish people in 2,000 B.C. In that covenant, Abraham would be the prog- enitor of a great nation; he would be given land; and eventually a government would be established during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ.

I am an 80-year- old, law-abiding citizen living inVenice for about nine years, and I am absolutely shocked to read that some 20-year police officer is allowed to retire without any further adieu after he spilled the beans, if you will, about; an investigation. In doing so, he did several things. The first one, he betrayed his oath as a police officer. The second thing is, he cost the Venice Police Department and the Sarasota Police Department a great deal of money of lost labor in investigations. Now, the man is allowed to retire. I think with the loss of about four days' pay, as if what he had done was a very small. benign offense. I think this is absolutely outrageous. I un- derstand we have a new police chief. If this lady does- n't start whatever action is legally proper against this police officer, it is really a shame, an absolute shame. Double standard? Is there some sort of double standard being used byyour paper? You state in your paper that you will not print letters from the public endorsing or criticizing candidates for 2006 elections, yet in your last two editions, you, the paper, endorsed Barbetta's and Detert's cam- paigis. Why is that? EDITOR'S NOTE: Our election coverage has always included our recommendations to our readers, based on our interviews with the candidates and other research. And we have always imposed a pre-election 30-day ban on letters for ard against candidates so a let- ter-writing campaign by a candi- date's supporters or detractors won't unduly influence the elec- tion. SStanding water. Someone needs to come our and clean the sewer pipes they need to be vacuumed out so that the rainwater doesn't lie in the street and cause a traffic problem.- That should be 4orl nobefore the hurri-- carps EDITORS NOTE: A point of;clar- ification: Rainwater shouldn't be standing in the street for extended periods, but if-it does, it's because of a problem with the city's stormwater system. The sanitary sewer system is separate. Prisoner escape. How did a prisoner supposedly under physical control escape at all? There wasno hurry to remove him from the patrol car before backup could be arranged and, if it was raining, for the rain to stop. From "verbal judo," pressure-point control, nonlethal weapons and fire- arms, the force continuum is designed for the officer to win, not the other way around. The escape resulted from a failure to use the tools provided. My wife saw the helicopter that day while dri- ving in the area. Had she been carjacked this letter would have a very different tone. Complacency has killed cops: were we just lucky this time? It was interesting to note ui recent media reports that the Venice Fire Department has accepted the city's challenge of a voluntary physical fitness bonus and in one report (from another media source) that VPD rejected it. Maybe the "voluntary" part is a mis- take. Chief Williams says the' way the prisoner was handled was not out of policy. Does that meanVPD doesn't have a policy on controlling prison- *ers or that they selectively control prisoners based on a hunch that they are not dan- gerous? Her pride in the re- arrest of a handcuffed man walking along Pinebrook Road at 3:15 p.m. should be mitigated by her concern about the professionalism of her department and the abili- ty of the officer responsible for the prisoner. Notwith- standing the above, the re- cent auto theft arrest at Motel 6 was good police work and worthy of praise for the two resourceful officers involved. Enough bashing. Stop with the Bush bashing already. It' like shooting a dead horse. He.

God repeated this covenant to Abraham's son, Isaac and then Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. The Jews today still do not have all the land promised them. Someday their borders will be from the great sea (Mediterranean) to the river Euphrates (in Iraq). Many Jews are moving back to their homeland be- cause God so ordained it in the last days. We are witnesses today of the sovereignty of Israel's God. He is in, the process of moving nations and peoples in accordance with his divine plan. Only one book foretells history and that is the Bible. If you really want to know what's going on today, the Book of Genesis is a good place to start.

Starbucks opening in Venice Target *,. ,; , :: ,,,, 'i , BY ROGER BUTTON BUSINEWS COLUMNIST Coffee lovers will soon be able to satisfy their taste buds with the popular coffees of Starbucks, to be available in the Target store at 4271 South Tamiami Trail, Venice across from Wal-Mart Superstore. Assistant Store Manager Jim Ezhaya said Starbucks Coffee will open at the end of October in the store. Executive Remodel Team Leader Mike Hilton con- firmed a major store make- over and remodeling in two phases. His team has begun phase one, working nightly for completion by the end of October, with phase two being delayed for a scheduled start in January 2007. The former in-store cafe is being renovated, with the grill and deep fryer being re- moved. Starbucks Coffee will open in the vacated space with a counter service offer- ing coffee and snacks with seating for 25-50 customers. Store employees will oper- ate Starbucks with hours the same as the store, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is modeled on the Sarasota and Port Charlotte Target stores, where Star- bucks Coffee has been: intro- duced. There is no drive- through. Alongside the Starbucks, to the right as customers enter the store, will be the Food Av- enue Express. Coolers will offer fried, grilled and a tre mendous variety of frozen foods, refrigerated items and consumables. To make way for the changes, the garden center is being reduced. Temporarily the pharmacy has been mov- ed to near the registers. The previous location 'is being torn down and the pharmacy will be relocated into a larger location in the middle of the store. The sales floors are be ing extended to feature more goods. Completing the first phase by the end of October will be improvements to the store front and the introduction of a second set of access doors. Customers will get a taste of what is to come, and be able to see over to the remodeled area of the garden center be- fore the delayed second phase starts in January 2007. According to Hilton, they will move things around, ex- pand areas and change prod- ucts to make it a scaled-down version of a Target Supercen- ter by the time everything is completed in spring 2007. Store manager of the Ven- ice location is Brian Ander son. 81 BUZi Walton joins Paradise Realty Janice L. Walton, Realtor, has joined Paradise Realty of Venice's staff of sales profes- sionals.

Elderly woman victimized Local resident reports another phishing scam J-L/'1'' (J'l-Cr ^ C /L/ K '/t-/H(C' Ll~ lI'' j^ STAFF REPORT Venice police arrested a Nokomis man and charged him with exploitation of the elderly. According to a news re- lease, an 85-year-old woman hired David Sandefur, 42, 100 block N. Verona St., to build a wooden cover for her water pump. The woman paid'Sandefur $800 for the work, plus an additional $20 to install weather-stripping. The neighbor noticed that little work had been done on the pump cover. The neigh- bor felt that Sandefur had taken advantage of the woman and called police; When police questioned Sandefur about the work, Sandefur gave back the check the woman had given him. He told investigators the work was "free" even though he was going to be in the hole. He said he had $200 worth of materials and had to pay his workers. Sandefur's contract stated that pressure treated wood would be used in the con- struction. It appeared that two pressure-treated 2x4s were used and one standard 2x4 along with four small pieces of scrap wood. The wood looked used, police said. An outside carpenter esti- mated that it would cost approximately $50 to build the cover.'

Source: BBBS BYKEN KLEINLEIN COLUMNIST I was recently contacted by area resident and X-ray tech- nician Carla Shaw regarding suspicious e-mails she had received and responded to over a two-month period. Around the middle of June she received a communica- tion from an individual iden- tifying himself as Mr. Terry Pugh, president of Miramax Import/Export Company, 62- 65 Chandos Place, London, WC2N 4L1 U.K; internation- al telephones numbers +44 704 012 4378 and +44 701 112 0885. He requested that she allow his small-scale compa- ny, which buys cocoa from West African countries and sells it to Europe and Amer- ica, be allowed to use and place funds in her bank account. He also asked that since his business is based on "trust" (be careful when this word is mentioned) and they had never met each other, she provide her full legal name, address, and home and mobile telephone numbers. After he received this infor- mation and Carla's assurance that she was interested in par- ticipating, she would receive in the mail a check for $12,130. She would then Deduct 10 percent of that amount as her commission for being the company's rep- resentative and then wire transfer the rest to a client who did not wish it known that he dealt with Miramax. Carla agreed and did in fact receive a check in that amount that she promptly deposited into her bank account. In late July, after conferring with friends and relatives who suggested that this could be a money-laundering scheme, she contacted Crime Scene. After listening to the facts in her case, I instructed her not to wire transfer any monies as this would provide the con artists access to her .account. I also instructed her to break off all communica- tions with Terry Pugh and his associate, a Mr. R. Anthony. I told her to check with the bank to determine how long it would take for the check she received to cear. She did so and was told that due to the check'sorigin, clearance would take a week to 10 days. . The check was meant to gain her confidence so she would not hesitant to provide the requested transfer from her account. Had she done so, the crooks would have been able to clean out her bank account before the check was found to be worthless, which it eventually was. The irony is that she only had one dollar in her account. The thieves would have expended much time and energy to clear a $1 score. Carla is presently working :at her profession in Wash- ington state, and will return here later this year. She has asked me to send her a copy S.I I I I . of this column. Thanks, Carla, for bringing this to our attention. Know- ledge is power, and hopefully our readers will benefit from your experience and not become involved in frauds such as this. The cost of living is on the rise due to'increases in insur- ance, rents, utilities, food, gasoline, etc. It becomes difficult to reject an offer that could pos- sibly result in a cash reward in exchange for participation in a questionable proposal that could offset these costs, espe- cially for folks on fixed in- comes. Sometimes, even when that intrinsic alarm we all have sounds, people may still move forward in the hope that the stipend offered will come to fruition. Don't buy into it, there will be no credit forthcoming, only a debit. Take care, be careful, and I'll see you at the next Crime Scene. hi II '',; POUCE BEAT ;, .. ,,. / , : ' ;1 ' ,1 ^' .

Not only is she the hottest swinger for the Venice High :girls golf team, but she has been rocking and rolling in top junior events over the summer. Kennedy's latest feather in her cap is first place in her age group at the Florida Junior Match Play Invita- tional played over the week- end at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples. The invitation only event featured the top male and female junior golfers ages 13-15 and 16-18. Invitations were based on the Boys and Girls Junior Championships and the Florida Junior Tour rankings. Kennedy captured first place in the girls 13-15 division. In the quarterfinals, the 15- year-old Kennedy defeat-ed Justine Knox of Dunedin, 2 up. In the semifinals, Ken- nedy was extended to 19 holes before she could defeat Madison Pressel of Boca Raton. Then in the finals, Kennedy defeated Alexis Thompson of Coral Springs, 4 and 3. Kennedy is a sophomore at Venice High. Her score of 35 at Heron Creek on Tues- day led the Lady Indians to a season-opening victory over North Port. Casey's older sister, Katie, is also a vastly improved player for the Lady Indians. The two, along with Crystal Smith and Megan Clipse, make the Venice girls perhaps the top team in the area.

It's so contagious, evei:the freshmen are get- ting caught up in it. The three ninth-graders on the team Dorothy Rahal, Taylor Capasso and Jillian Allen contributed signifi- cantly Tuesday night as the Lady Indians munched on visiting Cardinal Mooney, 25-11,25-9,25-13. Venice improved its record to 6-0, while Mooney fell to 2-2. "We have the best. three freshmen in the area," Lady Indian veteran coach Brian Wheatley said. "They're learn- ing the system. We need to give them playing time be- cause we'll be losing two excellent seniors next year." SThe three freshmen filter- ed into the lineup in game two after the starters dispos- ed of Mooney in game one. Rahal, a leaping outside hitter, finished with six kills. She also was tough at the service stripe, whipping up eight straight points in game two to turn a 12-6 lead into a 20-6 advantage. Rahal had three aces at the start of game three. Capasso, the tiniest player on the team, got in some valuable time setting the ball in games two and three.

Kaylee Ream served up seven straight points to turn a 10-7 game into 17-7. All- world setter Nickie Halbert was her impeccable self. Casie Richards loomed large at the net all night, finishing with seven kills. Junior outside hitter Ama- nda Garofalo got in some playing time after missing last week's match with a cold. She responded by sprinkling in three kills in three games and playing some tough D. Speaking of tough D, Julie Howlett, Danielle Witte and Casey Taylor were diving on the floor when the situation warranted. Wheatley was happy to see a number of former VHS volleyball players in the stands. "It used to be standing room only when Mooney and Venice played," Wheatley said.

Venice High grid players, coaches and fans will experi- ence the above on Friday night as the Indians play the Rams in a non-district contest. They also want the bottom line to come home with a victory. Losing to Riverview is always a bitter pill to swallow. The Venice-Riverview ser- ies has been a good one in the 2000s.. The Indians have won a few big ones in the, Ram Bowl, including a tight one in 2000 that was part of the championship season. Of course, Ram fans will point to last year, when Ven- ice blew a 19-0 lead and Riverview came back to win 21-19. It was one of only five victories for the Rams last year. Riverview is off to a 1-0 start this year after surprising Booker last Friday, 19-13. Booker came into the game No. 3 in Class 3A. Meanwhile, Venice drop- ped its season opener, 42-7, to one of the top-rated teams in the nation Lakeland. Riverview will want to keep the momentum going against Venice. Venice will want to eliminate the tackling deficiencies that were expos- ed against the Dreadnaughts. This year's Riverview team is passing more than it has in the past. The transfer of 6-3 quarterback Adam Shaw from Sarasota High has every- thing to do with that. He completed only one pass against Booker, but itwas a 56-yard TD bomb. Riverview also has a strong running attack anchored by a big offensive line. Robert Glinton went for more than 100 yards last week against the Tornadoes. "He's shifty," Venice head SUN PHOTO BY CLAUDE LEWIS Venice football coach John Peacock makes a point as the Indians make final preparations for Riverview Thursday at Powell-Davis Stadium. coach Nick Coleman said. The Ram defense doesn't drop off much from Lake- land. "They fly around," Cole- man said. "They have some good linebackers." The LB corps are led by Dean Richter, who led the Rams in tackles last year. Venice will go at the Rams head-to-head. The Indians will try to smashmouth with the running trio of Al Mitchell, Paul Costanzo and Jimmy Laurie. Mitchell had a 100-yard plus game against Lakeland no easy task. Costanzo broke a finger against the Dreadnaughts but is good to go. The Indians will have to mix it up a bit to keep the defense honest. Quarterback JCyle Callahan is looking for a breakout game. "We had a good week of practice," Coleman said. "We have to go up there and play fundamentally sound foot- ball for four quarters play hard and physical." Turnovers may also be big in a tight game. "Riverview didn't turn the ball over once against Book- er," Coleman said. "They got ahead of Booker and ate up the clock with their ground game."

Venice YMCA offers new wellness programs Why wait until January to get in shape? Start now and you'll be ahead of the game. The South County Family YMCA, Venice Branch, is of- fering two new programs this fall to help members and nonmembers to be proactive and avoid the typi- cal unhealthy practices of the holiday season. Footsteps to Fitness is a program to train walkers or beginner runners to partici- pate in the Venetian 5K on Nov. 11. The program includes meeting once a week with a group and following a step-by- step training schedule. Participants will receive a weekly e-Newsletter, which will offer training tips, recipes, nutrition tips and motiva- tion. This program begins Wed- nesday, Sept. 13, at 6:30 am. The cost for members is $45 and for nonmembers, $60. Registrations are now being accepted. Get Real program is a 10- week course that meets once a week and integrates nutri- tion with behavior change and exercise. The objective is to help participants develop healthy new lifestyle habits that they will be able to carry with them throughout the rest of their lives. The program begins Sept. 12 with a choice of either Monday from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. or Wednesdays from 5 to 6:15 p.m. The cost for members is $99 and nonmembers $125. Participation is limited.

SHEEPSHEAD FISHING COLUMNIST Now that the RT/P (red tide/pollution) has settled in, maybe it's time to think about other areas, or even fresh- water. Here are a few possi- bilities, ;. ; If possible, take a short fishing trip. One choice would be to go up the coast north of the Tampa area. My guess would be about 100 miles from-Venice. That's not too bad, about a two-hour drive. My guess would be that. the : reds, trout and pomps will start to bite now that it's September. Another possibility wculd be to go to the east coast. The Pompano Beach to Jupiter area would be a good choice. There are several fishing piers in this area. My buddy does quite well on the Juno pier just south of lupiter. Another choice could be the St. Augustine to Jackson- ville area. They have excellent surf fishing in this area. If you have some time on your hands, a great choice would be the Panhandle. It is proba- bly more scenic than any place we've been to in Flor- ida. Don't be surprised, it's a lot farther than most people r realize. It's.about an eight hour drive from Venice. We surf fished and did quite well. How about 17-18 inch whiting, or 26-29 inch ladyfish? Even the rays were huge. This is a fan- tastic area for kayaking. Not only is the surf generally *calm, but you can catch grouper and king mackeral just yards off of the beach. The water is at least 30-40. feet very close to the beach. One more choice, would be to take a trip to the Keys. You can catch plenty of fish right in KeyWest. Let's not forget our great freshwater bass fishing. There are numerous ponds and small lakes right here in the Venice area: that are loaded with lunker bass. I'm not talking about posted.private areas. A good choice would be the series of ponds on Winchester Boulevard in Englewood. Another choice would be the catch-and- release ponds on lackson Road (just off of East Venice Avenue). A short ride to Twin Lakes on State Road 72 in Sarasota. or the lake off of Fruitville Road ( you can see it from the southbound lanes on 1-75) are also good spots. The list goes on and on. Every one of these ponds are open to the public and easily fished from the shore. Even more important, I've caught numerous bass at each one. Hopefully this mess will go away and we won't have to go out of our area to fish. Fellow Sheepsheadites, the time has come to say goodbye until next week.

SPECIAL TO THE GONDOLIER SUN The evening of July 22 turned out to be a very special one for Patrick Burke. Burke, who trains with Sa- rasota County Special Olym- pics, was named the Florida Special Athlete of the Year at the Leadership conference in Orlando. "Special Olympics fills my life with friends, challenges and special days like today. I thank you from my heart," Burke said. Patrick finished his accep- tance speech with the Special Olympics oath "Let me win, but if I can not win, let me be brave in the attempt." Burke's friends include other athletes, coaches, vol- unteers and community sponsors. He calls them "family." His challenges range from the many sports to his in- volvement in the Community Music School choir and the Laugh O'Lympics made pos- sible by McCurdy's Comedy Club and Sarasota Parks and Recreation. Burke is grateful to the many organizations who have given him the oppor- tunity to' participate in nine of the 18 different sports of- fered in Sarasota County. Among those are aquatics offered at the YMCA facilities - golf at the Lake Venice Golf Club, bowling at the Venice AMF Lanes. equestri- an at the Smith Center, ten- nis at The Plantation Golf & Country Club and many sports at the Gene Whip Center for Special Athletes, built in 2000 from funds raised by the Athlete Booster Organization. Burke's many special days included winning Silver and Gold medals at state level competitions, as well as sev- eral ribbons at the local and area levels; Athlete of the Year for Sarasota County in 2005; winning an art design contest printed on the 2005 T-shirt worn at State Games by Sarasota County athletes; traveling to Georgia for a Special Olympic Golf in\ita- tional tournament: signing his award-winning art pos- ter; and meeting the most famous Special Olympic ath- Involved in Special Olym- pics since the age of 4, Burke believes in giving back to the organization that has given him so much. Burke gives back to Spe- cial Olympics through vol- unteering his time at fund- raising events such as the Sharks Tooth Festival and the 5K Classic. He won various contests including a Selby essay con- test and a State Special Olym- pics-sponsored art contest to design an art piece to be auctioned, both providing Sarasota County Special Olympics with grant money. Burke not only gives back to Special Olympics, but be- lieves that without commun- ity awareness and support, the program would not exist. Burke volunteers at the Loveland Cafe located in the Venice courthouse and par- ticipates with other athletes in the adopt-a-road program to clean up county roads. Special Olympics is a non- profit organization run from fundraisers and donations from the community and sponsors.

BYJACK GURNEY PELICAN PRESS A rift between Sarasota County government and school authorities that threat- ened to tie up long-range de- velopment plans is being resolved to provide more flexibility when new middle schools and high schools are necessary in rural areas. On Aug. 22, Commissioner Shannon Staub cleared the way for a compromise on where new schools can be built when she withdrew her previous support for a hard and fast prohibition on mid- dle schools and high schools in areas well east of Interstate 75. The county commission initially adopted the prohibi- tion during its comprehen- sive plan. revisions; but only on a split 3-2 vote that would have restricted decisions by future commissions. Staub supported the decision at the time, but said she had changed her mind. "I don't change my votes very often," she said, "but I realized school authorities will have to discuss where they want to put new schools with the county anyway. We can always say no, and I trust future commissions to make the right decisions when that time comes." Hands tied On Sept. 12, a joint meet- ing of the county commission and school board has tenta- tively been scheduled for 8 a.m. to ratify compromise lan- guage being hammered out by attorneys and administrators. It will be forwarded to state authorities as proof the mat- ter has been resolved. Public school authorities who believed their hands could be tied when they tried to buy reasonably priced land for new schools in rural areas challenged the county's comprehensive plan revisions and were prepared to con- test them before a state hearing officer. A Sarasota legal firm tht represents the school board recently served notice it would argue against the Flor- ida Department of Commun- ity Affairs' announced inten- tion to find the county's plans for new development east of 1-75 in compliance with the state's planning law. S According to public school officials, new private schools would be allowed anywhere in rural or semi-rural areas east of 1-75, while new pub- lic middle schools and high schools would be restricted to land owned by the devel- opers of new villages. Travel times There are about 3,800 pub- lic school students currently living in the North County area situated east of 1-75 and north of State Road 72. More than 2,000 of them are bused to school every day, a number that concerns state authorities because it is expected to grow. In February. Department of Community Affairs Growth Management Administrator Mike McDaniel addressed concerns about new Sarasota County public schools in rural areas designated for new vil- lages and described them in a letter to local officials. The lerter recommended SSUN PHOTO BY JEFF TAVARES, jtavaresivenicegondoller.com This sun dog or mock sun was seen in Venice on Tuesday. The rings are technically known as parhelia, from Greek words meaning "beside the sun." flexibility by the county to "show that coordination has taken place with the Sarasota County' School Board" and "ensure it will be possible to locate schools in areas desig- nated rural which have been targeted for the development of villages." Chief among the state's concerns was the possibility that public school students whose families buy homes in new villagess night have to travel a nininunm of 7 to 10 miles to the nearest middle school and 12 to 15 miles to the nearest high school. -Carol Thdd For Sarasota.

According to The Florida SCenter-for Instructional Tech- nology, this tribe that lived on the sandy shores of the south- west coast controlled most of South Florida with a popula- ton that may have reached as many as 50,000. The Calusa were tall and well-built. They wore their hair long. It was a fierce tribe with war-like ten- dencies. Smaller tribes were constantly watching for these marauding warriors. Spanish explorers found these Indians to be unfriendly There was no Thanksgiving dinner celebra- tion between native Calusa and Spanish or any other ex- plorers. The Calusa built their homes on stilts and wove the tough palmetto leaves into roof coverings, but they didn't construct any walls. They did not farm like the other Indian tribes in Florida. Instead, they hunted and fished for food on the coast and in the bays, rivers and waterways. The men and boys of the tribe made nets from palm tree webbing to catch mullet, pin- fish, pigfish and catfish. The Calusa used spears to catch eels and turtles. They made fish bone arrowheads to hunt for animals such as deer. The women and chil- dren learned to catch shell- fish like conchs, crabs, clams, lobsters and oysters. Shell collectors The Calusa are considered to be the first shell collectors. Because of their way of life, they amassed huge heaps of discarded shells. Called "mid- dens," the unlike other Indian tribes, the Calusa did not make many pottery items. They used shells for tools, utensils, jewelry and orna- ments. Shell spears were made for fishing and hun ring. According to the National Park Service, the Calusa were great sailors. They used ca- noes of hallowed out cypress logs, approximately 15 feet long, capable of reaching Cuba. Explorers reported that the Calusa attacked ships anchored close to shore. The Calusa were also known to sail up and down the west coast salvaging the wealth from shipwrecks. Their language indicated they may have traveled to Florida from the islands. Outstanding hunters and fishermen, they did little farming. As warriors they also received tributes of food from smaller tribes. The Calusa tribe died out in the late 1700s, victims of raiding tribes from Georgia and South Carolina, and of diseases such as smallpox and measles, which were brought into the, area by Spanish and French explor- ers. Many Calusa were cap- tured and sold as slaves. It is Believed that the.few remain- ing Calusa Indians left for Cuba when the Spanish turn- ed Florida over to the British in 1763 . Mound Key near the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River was the site of the tribe's largest village, one of about 40 villages spread along the Florida Gulf Coast. Their vil- lages and raised huts were protected by a ring of moats and shell mounds or "mid- dens." The Calusa buried their dead in other mounds. Burial mounds and a ceremo- nial mounds circled the vil- lages. NMany mounds were lost to development over the years. Of the few that remain, the ones nearest to Venice are at Historic Spanish Point in Osprey. Historic Spanish Point Spanish Point earned its Historic designation for its more than its mounds and settlers who followed the Ca- lusa to the area.

COLUMNIST Q I am basically healthy, but would like to take an antioxi- dant to help maintain my health. I am overwhelmed when I go to the health food store because there are so many. What should I look for when purchasing a formula? - V.W., New York City A: The business of antioxi- dant therapy started booming a decade ago, when studies came out showing that major health conditions might have some connection to oxidative stress, a big word meaning damage to your cells from biological invaders called free radicals. Some studies showed that the damage done by these loose cannons can be minimized or eliminated by antioxidants, which stand guard in your cells, arresting free radicals before they are able to hurt you by,spark- ing a tumor, etching a wrinkle on your face or activating a dangerous gene. Antioxidants are, in my opinion, an inexpensive way. to buy health insurance. It's best to get them through fresh fruits and vegetables, which are far better for you than supplements. Your body understands how to digest naturally occurring antioxi- dants from food; utilizing a lab-created version is much harder. It doesn't hurt to take a supplement, however. Some antioxidants come as a single tablet, combining vitamins' and minerals known to deac- tivate dangerous free radicals. Formulas like this typically contain beta-carotene, along with vitamins C, E, D and probably some B vitamins like folic acid. B6, biotin and maybe even minerals like selenium or zinc. Prices range between $10 and $50, depending on the brand. This discussion wouldn't be complete ifI left out plant- based antioxidants, which are also powerful and effective tools in the fight against dis- ease. Some examples of these are milk thistle, known for its liver-cleansing abilities; grape- seed antioxidant (which pro- tects your heart); green tea ex- tract (anti-cancer); and bilber- ry extract (protects your eyes). Q: I looked on the Internet to learn about my medication, Lortab (hydrocodone), and one Web site said it could cause a heart attack. Is that true? Can a drug for pain really kill you? - W.E., Chicago A: It's very rare, but possi- ble. When I looked this up on Clinical Pharmacology the pharmacist's gold standard reference I found several hundred drugs that list car- diac arrest as a potential adverse "side effect." This cat- astrophe is much more likely to occur in people who have underlying heart problems or structural abnormalities, or who mix their medicine with alcohol. There, are many medica- tions that carry this potential risk. They include: painkillers or cough syrups containing codeine (Tylenol No. 3), hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin) or oxvcodone (Percocet, Oxycontin); Viagra (sildenafil); triptan drugs for migraines (like Imirrex); and diuretics that deplete potassi- um levels (such as furosemide). ADHD'drugs are under the gun now. Since last May, the FDA has asked mak- ers of these drugs to strength- en warnings regarding serious heart consequences and sud- den death. Just last week, the makers of Dexedrine were urged to place cautions on that medication, too. Didyou know? Vitamin C acts like a natur- al station cholesterol drug, but without the side effects.

Hospice is bidding the area a fond farewell. Aleda Kleckauskas, a petite woman with a big passion for hospice care, will leave her: post Sept. 15 and begin a new position as executive director of hospice with Florida Hos-: pital Memorial System, a dii- sion of the Adventist Health System. Kleckauskas said she's been with TideWell Hospice three years and in that time made a lot of positive associa- tions. "I got to know so many people in the community," she said. "There are just so many wonderful people in the community. (TideWell Hospice) is a wonderful orga- nization, and I hope they will find someone with as much passion as I have. It's a great organization to work with." Hospice helps terminally ill people to live out their last days comfortably, with sup- port and encouragement. Its services, which rely heavily on volunteers, include in-home medical help, emo- tional support and bereave- ment counseling, TideWell also is opening a newresiden- tial hospice facility, in Eng- lewood East. Although Kleckauskas said she will miss her associates here, Tidewell's public rela- tions director, David Glaser, said she also will be missed. "That's aloss for us," Glaser said. "But it's a good adid ptb- fessional opportunity for her." "She served in a number of roles for us," he said. "She came in as director of home care. She's been great, really valuable. We'll miss her for sure. She's terrific." Kleckauskas refused,to ac- cept credit for hospice ac- complishments during her tenure, but' quite a few changes were made during her stay with the non-profit. TideWell was formerly Hos- pice of Southwest Florida. "I wouldn't take credit for much of anything," she said. "I'm a part of the system and I represented TideWell. It has gone through an enor-, mous change. It's grown very fast. It's changed its name. It's focused on getting even bet- ter at the way it delivers care. They've added medical direc- tors to each site. : "They've done a lot of good things and it's my privilege to ,.be a part of that." Recently, TideWell Hospice opened a seven-room hos- pice house in East Englewood and broke ground for a build- ing in Arcadia. There are six hospice hous- es in the TideWell region throughout Manasota, Sara- sota, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. IKeckauskas said the most difficult obstacle to overcome in hospice care is disseminat- ing information. "Our biggest challenge is people knowing more about hospice care, how to access the care and getting the word out," she said.'"In essence, it's important to be a part of the community and support the community. It needs some- one out there getting what we need to know and how we can be involved, talking with physicians and trouble- shooting and making sure we make our physicians happy too." Kleckauskas said she is tak- ing an executive director's position with a hospice that includes a group of hospitals. "The hospice I will go to workfor is associated with the hospitals," Kleckauskas said. Kleckauskas was a CEO of a .big medical system in Boston before she came to Florida. Now, she's enthusias- tic'"lhtout comtbinihg' her! medical administration expe- rience and her passion for hospice, care. in her new capacity. She's also excited about the move because she'll be work- ing in a unique environment. "Most hospitals don't both- er with home health or hos- pice, but some have devel- oped a whole system of cur- riculum of care," Kleckauskas said. "It's really an interesting concept." She said the organization just broke ground for an eight-bed hospice building that will be located on the grounds of the Flagler Hos- pital.. $50 OFFI! $100 OFF : S Minimum 3 windows.

"OK, 38 seconds," she warned, as she adjusted con- trols on the sound-mixing board . Ellis is the off-site coordi- nator of the Women's Re- source Center of Sarasota County; Gorman is executive director of Healthy Start Coalition of Sarasota County. Together, the women did Gorman's first live chat on the air about helping young preg- nant women with programs like "Pot of BEANS" neighbor- hood groups and pre- and post-natal care. (BEANS stands for Birth Education and Natal Support.) Ellis is host on Thursdays of WENG 1530 live talk show, "It's AllAbout'Women." It's on Thursday that Ellis presents as much information as she can about local services. Four other women's pro- grams are aired on.the station each weekday beginning at 11 a.m., "Ken Birdsong thought of it," said Pat Newton, the pub- lisher of the Englewood Re- view who hosts the show Wednesday. With an already-solid audi- ence of male listeners, the sta- tion approached Newton about bringing a female audi- ence to WENG. Newton, in turn, buzzed Karen. Mauer, executive irec- tor of the Englewood-Cape Haze Area Chamber pf Com- mierce, about the idea. "She jumped right on it,"' Newton said.' Birdsong, Newton and Mauer got together and brainstormed. what has evolved into the daily routine that's lasted well over a year now.

Read this A love of the written word and a deep appreciation of public TV inspired a Sarasota County woman to leave a legacy for millions of readers and TV viewers to share for years to come. The late Betty, Price Chellman, a dedicated volunteer at Selby Public Library and a devoted viewer of WEDU, the PBS station serving Sarasota County, left her estate, valued at more than $1.2 million to be shared equally by the two organiza- tions. Each received a check for $635,000. Chellman joined the U.S. Army shortly after graduating with. high honors from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and served during World War II and the Korean War. She worked as a hospital dietitian while on active duty, and later as a consultant to the Army. Chellman was awarded the Legion of Merit for her military service. After retiring with the rank of lieu- tenant colonel, she moved to Sarasota in 1971 to be near a favorite aunt. Always involved in her adopted community, she de- voted even more time to vol- unteer work after her aunt's death, especially at Selby Public Library. She also serv- ed as a docent at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. A voracious reader, her taste in books ranged from historical British naval stories to page-turner murder mys- teries. She enjoyed watching WEDU's arts programs and various PBS mystery series. Chellman died in Sarasota, in May of 2005, at the age of 86 and was buried in Ar- lington National Cemetery. Selby Public Library is part of the Sarasota County Li- brary System. The system's eight libraries, include two in Venice and serve approxi- mately 370,000 Sarasota County residents- and thou- sands more through recipro- cal arrangements with other library systems. In October 2005 ,the Sarasota County Library System was ranked by Hennen's American Public Library Ratings (HAPLR) as one of the top 10 U.S. library d the Bigs systems in communities of 250,000 or more residents, the only system in Florida ranked in the top 10 in any popula- tion category., WEDU serves 16 counties in west central Florida, reach- ing 1.7 million homes. The station is part of the Public Broadcasting Service. WEDU viewers can watch acclaimed nationally-broadcast PBS programs as well as locally- produced series such as "A Gulf Coast Journal" with Jack Perkins, which focuses on people and places in Sarasota County.

Tales of an insect hunter BYJANET SANNER GUESTWRITER Those pesky, miserable, blood sucking insects are back again. I was nose-deep in a book the other night when I heard a somewhat familiar "whine" whiz past my ear. Suddenly, I sat upright, dropping my book in the process. I knew that sound. It was a mosquito. Those won- derful rains that had saved my plants from extinction had brought the little buggers to life. The battle was on. I armed myself with a newspaper and began swatting. Doodlebug, my little poodle, happens to ,be unep.xlainably. ,frpid.,,Qtf newspapers. So, \,ith every swat, he would jump. it went like that for awhile ... swat, jump ... swat, jump. I was just warming up to the fight, when my dog left the room. He went to his usual spot, in times of stress, under my bed. Where is woman's best friend when you need him? At the very least he could have snapped at them. Exhausted, I finally went to bed. Just as I was drifting off, I heard that old familiar sound once more, right by my ear. Unfortunately, I sleep with my arms and legs out of the covers. I had barely opened my eyes, in the morning, when the itching began.

W/Purchase of Adult Entree Tuesday & Thursday Kids (menu 12 & under) By the time I got to work, my arms and legs were blood- red from scratching. As I sat at my desk, I began to count the bites. I stopped at 30.This was added to the 22 bites on my left foot from my previous battle with the ants, another totally unnecessary creature. As soon as I left work, I started on my mission. First st6p: the pharmacy. After spending considerable time reading labels, I purchased antihistamine cream; some- thing called "Cutter" to fend the mosquitoes off; and three bracelets that guaranteed, when worn, there would be Sno more bites. My cost was a mere $19.99. I raced over to the hard- ware store for the second pan of my planned assault. Here I added to my arsenal: a pest glue' board (I had also sur- prised a palmetto bug in my kitchen); flying bug spray; Home Defense maximum spray: mosquito dunks for my fish pond and bird bath (1 was killing for the u'rue, too); and repellent for the skin. Total cost was $36.20. The. clerk looked at me quizzically. "All out war," I said. Now properly armed, I headed home. I was like a crazed person. I sprayed part of the house until the fumes hung heavy in the air. Chok- ing, Doodlebug and I closed ourselves off in the bedroom. About an hour later, we stuck our noses out to see if the coast was clear. The smell was still pretty strong, but we had yet to take the bedroom. Tak- ing aim, I saturated my bed- room until my finger grew numb. Again, we had to wait an hour for the fumes to settle. So, with great anticipation, I! put that glue board on the floor in my kitchen. As I prepared for bed, I had to make a crucial decision. Should I put the anti-itch cream on first? Or, should I apply that on top of the anti- mosquito spray? I decided on the former. Next I put on the wristbands, one for each wrist. I was looking forward to going to sleep ... sleep, where I wouldn't itch from those thir- ty plus bites. I gratefully laid my head on the pillow Whew! The smell was overpowering. There also seemed to be an eerie light in the room. I had- n't noticed the small print on the package of wrist bracelets that said "Glow in the-dark." In spite of everyrhung, I finally began to drift off, when I heard a noise in the kitchen. 1 went to sleep smiling. That palmetto bug was history. In the morning. I tried to: count all my bumps to see ifI had any new ones. It was ah impossible task since there were bumps on top of bumps. Had I counted them as one yesterday? Giving up on the bump count, I hurried out to the kitchen. Sure enough, there was Mr. Palmetto, as big as life. I was running late, so I just picked up the board with the stuck-on bug and looked for a place to set it. I couldn't just leave it on the floor. Doodle- bug would investigate. I didn't. want to put it on my counter tops. Yuck. In desperation, I ,finally stuck it on top of the, refrigerator.: As I left the house, I drop- ped the larva killing dough- nuts in the birdbath and fish pond. The itching, that day was still bad. I should have re- membered to bring the anti- itch cream with me. When I got home that night, I went to retrieve the bug board. Horrors! The bug was gone. He had left one of his legs. I didn't know what to feel; fear that the three-legged thing was still on the loose or pity for him. Did he chew off his leg in order to escape? I had heard about some ani- mals in traps doing that. I avoided my kitchen until bedtime, when I put out two bug boards. I was disappoint- ed in the morning to find nothing had been caught. I continue to wornr about that bug. It definitely put a damp- er on my victory celebration. But, all in all, Ithink I won the mosquito war... for now. --- - - - - - - - S100% Digital Ep. $559 to *859 o -- -- -- ---- HEARING AIDS Best Quality Best Service ..

The mound thought to: be the on the site of the main Calusa village where its leader, Chief Carlos lived, is Mound Key at Estero Bay in Lee County. It is made entire- ly of shells and clay. Most of the mounds were not for ceremonies or burial but simply trash heaps, valu- able research sites for arche- ologists who excavate the mounds to learn more about the extinct people.

There are plenty of osprey to be seen over the bay and shore birds can usually be seen from Cock's Footbridge, which was built in the 1890s. There is a good view:of the mangrove coastline from the bridge. Audubon Society members frequently spot white pelicans. Piliated woodpeckers and a barn owl were seen on site recently.

Not only was the living room a disaster, but the last roll of toilet paper was inad- vertently locked in the bath- room vanity behind a freshly installed child-safety device. One child personally affected by this circumstance was yelling for help. Another child was poking thetestbuttons on the smoke detectors with the end of a broom, assuring me they were still operational. (A cou- ple of these detectors I had to dig out of dresser drawers as in my own nocturnal mad- ness, I had ripped them off the ceiling on various nights when their batteries were slowly dying. (I know you've been there.) Desperation was, the mood of the house when I optimistically 'proclaimed that things were going well. I had just completed the as- sembly of another storage cabinet in which a few more assorted "threats".would soon be safely out of reach. Not at all convinced sufficient pro- gress was being made, and being a bit out-of'sdrts:emno- tionally himself, my oldest son, presently spending some time in a wheelchair, replied, "I am glad you're suffering the delusion that things are going well." I'm sure we all suffer delu- sions from time to time. Nevertheless, having an abid- ing trust through messy mo- ments is not always the sign of mental instability. A living stream of God's redemptive purpose in Christ continues to run and spread through this dry and fallen world, even into the chaos our own lives. I appreciated some comments I read recently about not look- ing at life in "snapshots" but regarding it as an unfolding: story. No picture tells the whole story well. In the end, toilet paper gets retrieved and broken smoke detectors,.are replaced. Unsteady moments still merge into the stream of a blessed life. What makes us feel like we're about to pop today will make us laugh tomorrow, maybe even later tonight. When our children were younger we told them God liked it when they made their beds because he was a God of order and design. We wanted them to know that neatness comported with God's char- acter and not simply with a to-do list. Seeing the "rum- ples" now on the bed sheets of my own life, I find his mercy means as much to me as his perfections. I simply can't get the wrinkles out. If this is so, if my faith can't take away life's wrinkles, someone might think my faith delusional. I would counter, "not at all." My faith helps me see the wrin- kles of my own heart for what they are. It also continues to speak to me, not in my own words, but with the words of Christ. He bids me come to him in my weak and heavy laden state. He tells me that he has begun a good work in me. My Heavenly Father tells me I am his adopted son,-and he will see to the transforma- tion of my life and the securi- ty.of my future. The rumpled bed sheets of my life will know his tender care as will all that concerns me. I am not talking about reaching perfection. I am talk- ing about my Heavenly Father being in the house,and his purpose toward me being good. Today's rough mo- ments will merge into the gradual understanding of the larger story he is. writing. Tomorrow's fears find their best resting place in the con- text of my uttering these words: "My Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy \ill be done, on earth, as it is in heaven ..

Trinity Presbyterian Church in Chinle, Arizona. During the week, the team conducted a vacation Bible school for a predominantly Navajo congregation, com- pleted much-needed repairs on the church roof, repainted the fellowship hall and re- planted four gardens with drought-resistant plants.

This should be a source of concern to many parents, especially since a recent survey showed that more than half of the students in. grades 5 through 8 carried backpack loads that were heavier than the maximum weight recommended by experts. Most say that a child should carry no more than 15 percent of his or her weight.;Regardless of how much weight child carries, leaning forward or straining with a backpack is an indication that the bag is too heavy. Make sure your children do not over pack their backpacks. Children usually respond quickly to light adjustments and other chiropractic care. P.S. When a child complains of pain, numbness, or tingling as a result of carrying a backpack, an appointment with the chiropractor is recommended to check for nerve impingement.

V BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR W hat Henry Ford did for the automobile industry, DiVosta Homes has done for home- building. Using a concept originated decades, ago in France, the company builds its cast-con- crete homes on a 48-day schedule that works like a fine clock. Each day a home is poured and as the concrete cures, subcontractors come in on a regular schedule to install the plumbing, electri- cal components, air handling equipment, wallboard and all the other pieces that make for a completed home not in six months, nine months, 15 months or more but in ex- actly 48 days. Cost savings and the potential for im- proved quality because the same subcontractors are used on a regular basis are side benefits of the system. DiVosta's first community in the immediate Venice area, Island Walk at. the West Vil- lages, is quickly changing the landscape of the former Tay- lor Ranch area. just north of Manatee Community Col- lege's Venice campus. Island Walk is a planned community of some 1,800 homes that are being built on a system of ponds and canals, providing most residents with water and/or preserveviews. With,prices ranging up- ward from approximately $260,000 for a home and land. Island Walk offers several one- and two-story models for home buyers to see before they buy. Because of the building process,. what you see is basically what you get. It is not possible to bump out a room here or there. But the bonuses that are standard: More tian compensate. The Oakmont model shown here is a three-bed- room home with a den, great room plan with two full bathrooms, formal entry area and dining room. Standard in the home are Corian coun- ters, paver walks and drives, seamless gutters, tile roof, galvanized steel hurricane shutters, security system, built-in vacuum system, vol- ume ceilings and more. In the master suite there is a large walk-in closet and two additional closets, plus an -interesting walk-in shower with two doors, one from her bath and one from his bath. Angled walls with French doors add interest to the mas- ter bedroom, den and third bedroom. The utility room is near the second and third bedrooms and serves as a passage from the side-open- ing two-car garage. Almost as different as the building concept is the out- door living concept of Is- landWalk, a gated communi- ty. Sales manager Ryan Do- herty said that foot bridges over the waterways in the vil- lage, allow ready access to the centrally located IslandWalk community center which has lagoon and lap pools, eight tennis courts, bocce and bas- ketball, tot lot, fitness center, gas pumps and car wash, post office and convenience store with delicatessen. Monthly maintenance fee of $266- $283 (price varies per home size) covers lawn mainte- nance as well as the use of the resort center. Island Walks four models are open daily 10 a.m.-6 p.m., seven days a week. Take In- terstate 75. Exit 193 (Jaca- randa). Go south to U.S. 41. Tum left and travel one-half mile past the light at Taylor Ranch Trail. From the south, the sales center is approxi- mately 4 miles north of River Road (State Road 771. Corian counters are standard in the kitchen. French doors lead into the master bedroom. The front elevation of the Oakmont model home features a side-facing garage, paver walks and drive.
