BYTOMMY MCINTYRE STAFF WRITER In a packed, courtroom Tuesday, former Venice High School coach James LaMorte Sr., 64, was sentenced to a total of 21 years in prison for molesting two'former stu-, dents. "You should spend the bal- ance of your life in prison," Sarasota County Circuit Judge Andrew Owens told LaMorte. The sentences will run consecutively. Reading from a prepared statement prior to sentenc- ing, LaMorte apologized for the "hurt and pain" he caus- ed. "'These sins will always be with me,' LaMorte said, ac- cording to Venice attorney Robert Harrison. Harrison represented one of LaMorte's victims. LaMorte did not present any witnesses at the sentenc- ing hearing. Four witnesses testified against him. The plea LaMorte pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault and battery on a victim over 12 years old by a person in custodial authority, and no contest to a count of sexual assault by a person in custo- dial authority. The pleas were made April 10, just hours before his trial was to begin. Additionally, LaMorte pleaded to one count of a lewd and lascivious act in the presence of a child under 16 years old.

BY STEVEN J. SMITH STAFF WRITER The angry combatants of a few weeks ago mellowed into kissing cousins Monday as county com- missioners agreed to work with Venice andNorthPort city officials on joint planning agreements dealing with land annexa- tion. Staub The agree- ment put a stop to any annex- ation of county land by the cities for six months. During that time, the cities agreed to meet with the county to address issues caused by explosive growth. These include the need for road improvements, parks, librar- ies and at least one jail. "I appreciate your perse- .erance on this," County Commissioner Shannon Staub said after the vote to those attend- ing Monday's special meet- ing. "Our work's just be- .ginning and I'm optimistic that we can be a model for the state. I Patterson think the right people are in the right place at the right time."

Unfortunately, the answers likely will cost them some money. The youth sports organiza- tion had been going around in circles with Sarasota County over who has respon- sibility for the maintenance of the ballfields at Chuck Reiter Park andWellfield Park, and who should be paying the electric bills. "We've never really under- stood how that works," said VLL President Dave Morse. "If we have to pay the bills and maintain the fields, then we have to shut down the Venice Little League." It won't come to that.. Though the league has an outstanding $16,000 electric bill it didn't know about, the county has written off ahoth- ATMS LEGALS LET EM HAVE IT LOTTO OBITUARIES er two years' worth of electric bills. And because maintenance is largely a county function, and the 2006-2007 county budget has more money in it for personnel and materials, the county has pledged to give VLL -credit against the outstanding electric bill for money spent to maintain and improve the fields. "I'm really happy about what's happening here," long- time VLL Manager Terry Tritschler told the board. Finally talking VLL's confusion apparently stems from two sources: a lack of communication and a misunderstanding of the terms of the agreement be- tween the city, which owns both facilities, and the coun- ty, which maintains them under the terms of the settle- ment of a tax dispute a num- ber of years ago. In the agreement the county assumes the responsi- bility for the electric bills, IOA OPINION 6A POLICE BEAT 5A SCHOOL DEBRIS SITEE 2A SPORTS 7A WEATHER which VLL had taken that to mean the league didn't have to pay. Affirming that assumption was the lack of any bills from Florida Power and Light or the county for electricity. "We never got any bills, so we thought we weren't liable for them," said VLL Treasurer Diane lorio. But the agreement only absolves the city of any charges, according to Jack Colligan, a county parks de- partment manager. User agreements with the various leagues that play on the fields put the burden of paying the hourly kilowatt charges on them. There are 37 such user agreements, he said; onlyVLL hasn't been paying its bills regularly. The county learned Mon- day that it has been sending them to the wrong address. Whenever the subject of the bills came up at board meetings, Iorio said, one of the board members said he 4A AROUND TOWN 1 7A BRIDGE 3A CLASS ACTS 8A COFFEE BREAK 2A CROSSWORD would take care of them. Colligan said the board mem- ber told the countyVLL wasn't going to pay them. He's no longer on the board, Iorio said. VLL did make a $2,500 payment for electricity earlier this year, she said, and got a receipt showing no balance due. But all that meant, accord- ing to parks supervisor Ed Exner, was that the $2,500 payment had been paid in full, not that VLL was no longer in arrears. County staff and VLL rep- resentatives will be sitting down soon to compare notes and put a number on what the league owes. Because the league has only a few thousand dollars in the bank, it won't just be writ- ing a check, Iorio said. "Work with us," Exner said. "That's all we're asking." "Finally you're talking to each other," said board mem- ber Vema Silk. "I can't see why it took so long." Other board action Also discussed at Monday's meeting: Venice Beach Pavilion - Colligan said some repairs had been made to the roof, but board member Dawn Stoddart said the problems she had brought up previous- ly weren't structural. "It was that one of our parks didn't look good," she said. Colligan said he would ask the county's facilities mainte- nance division to look into resurfacing the roof. Student Leadership Academy Morse said the school across Field Avenue from Chuck Reiter Park has been using baseball dia- monds as soccer fields, tear- ing up the grass. Colligan said the school would be told to use the fields for the sports for which they were designed. You can e-mail Bob Mudge at: bmudge @venicegondolier.com.

Water conservation without sacrifice From the Sept. 19, 1981, Gondolier BY RAY PORTER STAFF WRITER Alternatives to costly well- drilling, desalination plants and other water producing measures exist, thanks to today's advanced technology, and there is a nationally active organization hoping to get the country thinking "water conservation."

"The trick is to get water efficient," said Shea. "Venice is on the edge of a very seri- ous problem. The city is committed to a certain amount of growth, but the city doesn't have the water for these new people. Even if the city had the water, waste water treatment is very costly. There are two ways to solve the problem. One is con- structioripn dhd.tahe- Other; is conservation and, of die two., conservation is by fat the less expensive." Shea noted that when most people hear the word conservation, they are turned off immediately. "When you tell people to conserve, they think in terms of sacrifice," said Shea. "They don't want to sacrifice. They don't want to flush their toi- lets once a week or shower once a week. But we've cho- sen to approach the problem in a different way. Our ap- proach allows the water user ,.to, save 40 percent without any sacrifice." Discover The OfldSod r Irish/Cetic Imports And Experience A Truly .

Three-car crash in South Venice BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER Call it community service. The Sarasota County School Board has agreed to allow the county access to two South County school sites to temporarily store debris in the event of an emergency. Under new FEMA rules promulgated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, local governments cannot receive FEMA funds unless they have authorized staging areas that may be used for temporary storage and processing of hurricane-related debris. Local officials say they have enough sites for tempo- rary storage of hurricane debris in the north and cen- tral parts of the county, but lack South County sites, ac- cording to school officials. The 'agreement calls for school property to be utilized as debris collection points on Venice's SCTI campus bordering Indian Hills Boule- vard off Jacaranda, and a por- tion of a lot at the Engle- wood Recreation Center bor- dering Englewood Elemen- tary School. The board approved the agreement Tuesday "at its regular meeting. Last resort School Board chair Carol Todd said she had two con- cerns and got assurances on both. "My understanding is the sites will be used only as a last resort, not a first resort, and.be .located -on school-, owned property but not on any existing campuses," Todd said. / According to the agree- ment, the land can only be used if an emergency is de- clared and state officials decide access to the sites is necessary, and only after the county has activated all other debris management sites in the area. The sites will be fenced off and signs put up at a future date.

Tamiami Trail 941-408-7416 In the event of a hurricane or other disaster, the sites could be used for residents to dump debris accumulat- ed on their own property, Todd said. The county would be responsible for assuring haz- ardous materials don't get into the sites. If they do, the county would be responsible for clean-up. "If the county uses it, then they are the ones responsible for it," said school attorney Art Hardy, who reviewed the agreement. "They have the responsibility to manage the sites. They're the experts. We're just letting them use the land." Good citizen The Department of Envir- onmental Protection retains the option to approve pri- vate operation of a staging area. Construction and demo- lition debris, land-clearing debris, yard trash and veg- etative waste may be stored in the staging areas. House- hold garbage and other waste that could rot must be removed from the staging areas and disposed of as soon as practicable to pre- vent odor and sanitary nui- sances, state EPA guidelines. The plan calls for spotters to be used during waste dropoff to correctly identify and segregate waste types. Unsalvageable refrigerators and freezers, for example, would be removed to appro-, priate landfills and recycled according to federal guide- lines. "We are trying to be a good citizen," Hardy said about the agreement. "We're all working for the same taxpayers." You can e-mail Greg Giles at: ggiles@venicegondolier. com.

North Port and Venice gave in to the coun- ty's demands to let it take part in future rezoning decision regarding newly annexed lands. Both cities also agreed to a six-month moratorium on all new annexation projects. North Port and Venice have just four months to cut a deal that will satisfy county commissioners. If the cities fail to appease the county, it could hold a spring referendum to change the county charter. Florida's charter counties gained the upper hand when Seminole County won a court decision over Winter Springs. Playing that card may or may not be a wise move. The skill of the county staff can be questioned., Venice City Manager Marty Black said the county planning department's report at the Thursday meeting was seriously flawed. The county's numbers suggesting thousands of new homes would be built in Venice because of annexation were wrong, Black said. Bill Moore a Sarasota attorney, told com- missioners ho represented the Carlton fami- ly, which owns 16,000 acres in the eastern part of the county. The Carlton family had been discussing a large conservation ease- ment with the county, but the county broke the talks off without explanation, Moore said. County Cmmissioner Jon Thaxton said he didn't know the talks had been broken off and called that fact "disturbing." We agree with Thaxton's assessment of the situation. In the past we have discussed what appears to be ineptness on the part of county officials in handling the Savilla Street drug-treatment facil- ities dispute inWarm Mineral Springs. The federal government has accused Sarasota County of violating the fair housing act when the county prevented Renaissance Manor from operating six group homes on Savilla Street. The Savilla Street' blunder by the county staff could cost taxpayers millions if the county loses to Renaissance Manor and its partner in court. Competent city planners should be work- ing with equally capable county staffers, If not, it could produce some very nasty clash- es and even poor decisions in the years ahead. County Administrator Jim Ley and the county commissioners may have won the initial annexation battle with North Port and Venice. But Ley must now make sure his county staff is able to handle the big job it faces. As Brian .Tuttle, owner of the huge Isles of Athena project, told the county, "Your goal (to limit grok th) cannot trample my rights." He said le was currently working with the city, and he told the county he also was will- ing to "work with your guy." Tuttle says his project will produce 13,000 jobs for North Port, as well as $400 million, and provide help for the city's water and sewer problems. Tuttle is donating more of his land to "pre- serves" in popes of getting permission to build 12,00o homes. These ar, important projects. The county staff needs to be sharp. Changes are needed. Time. for a change / 17 \ O aC i17 & ED MARTIN COLUMNIST It is time for a change in Venice City Council in at least' two dimensions. First, council needs new blood, a council member independent of the "dumb growth" political machine based on the contributions of the Citizens for Quality Gov- ernment. Second, council needs to use the moratorium it pledged to the county com- missioners to demonstrate that it has a moderate growth philosophy not "no growth," but growth without excessive heights and density - growth consistent with a Venice based on John Nolen's vision. Council members should sense the way the wind is blowing. The county's voters just elected Joe Barbetta, an advocate for moderate growth and environmental concerns, to the county com- mission. As the Gondolier Sun reported and editorialized, a pro-development political action committee used last- minute dirty tactics to distort Barbetta's views. The effort, happily, failed. In a recent survey 60 per- cent of the voters polled said they would support a county charter amendment. Unless Venice plans cooperatively with the county for moderate growth, there will be a refer- endum in six months, which I have no doubt will pass, allowing changes in annexa- tion densities only when the county commissioners and city council agree. Venice has the opportunity to add a moderate-growth advocate to our council. Ernie Zavodnyik (Za-vod-nick), a graduate of the Notre Dame Law School, is daring to run for office without accepting funds from the CQG, against John Simmonds, who has had its backing in the past, and in fact, is a founding member. Zavodnyik is performing a public service just by run- ning, offering voters an op- portunity to hear issues dis- cussed and a chance to make a choice about the direction of the city's growth. In an interview, Zavodnyik agreed that growth must occur but said he wants to fol- low a moderate course, main- taining the small-town feel of Venice, protecting the quality of life and the environment and recognizing the strains that large growth will bring to our roads, beaches and natur- al resources. He expressed interest in transportation for seniors and recreational op- portunities for young people. Zavodnyik served the American Bar Association for 23 years as the staff director for judicial administration. He also had experience as assistant corporate counsel for the city of Chicago and in private practice. His interests include Epiphany Cathedral, the Venice Area Audubon Society and the Notre Dame Club of greater Sarasota. I believe that background will be very useful on council. John Moore, the only other attorney on the council, has been very helpful in improv- ing the city's business prac- tices, including with leases that, in the past, saw council approving leases with blank places in them where critical. financial information was not filled in. The analytic and judicious processing of infor- mation coming before coun- cil is a critical skill. John Simmonds, a likeable man, has demonstrated a pro-growth bias including, as I wrote in earlier articles, feel- ing as though he must be a cheerleader for certain pro- jects, which may only coinci- dentally have been submitted by CQG stalwarts. Simmonds does not dem-' onstrate sharp analytic skills, appearing ambivalent on a number of issues warning about excessive heights, but voting for the proposals that might allow it. When he was faced with the arguments by Moore and others that the mixed-use project zoning submitted by Mike Miller and his attorney, Jeff Boone, was vague and needed refine- ment, he suggested voting to approve it now because it could always be changed later and the ultimate buildings could be approved piece by piece by the council an idea that must have horrified the developer as much as other council members. In the final analysis, Sim- monds seems to me to be an "old pol" -a go-along to get- along kind of man who brings no new vision to the city or council. He has. had a good turn in the public arena, but his time appears to have passed. Please see MARTIN, 5A SYEAH.

Looks like lose-lose Editor: Crowded roads are our constant reminder of the negative effects of growth. Still, proponents of growth are efficient in placing a positive spin on changes needed for growth. I recently attended a meeting concerning the reduction of huge freshwater flows into Dona and Roberts bays. These flows were created from poorly conceived land drainage and flood control schemes in the last century. The county now plans to collect the freshwater inflows; the resulting restored salinity will improve the environment for clams, oysters and seagrass. Of course, the recovered freshwater will also make future development possible, and perhaps this was the real driving force for obtaining the needed funding. The operation was described as a "win-win" project. Just a year ago the plan for increased water withdrawals from the Peace River was praised. The water would be with- drawn during periods of high river-flow, minimizing any nega- tive effects of river flushing of its estuary. A true "win-win" program would be using the freshwater recovered from the bays to reduce withdrawals from the Peace River. A pessimist might view the increased freshwater supplies from the bays and Peace River as a "lose-lose" situation. The new water will supply new development. The resulting waste- water stream, will be used to irrigate thousands of new acres of grass, leaching nutrients into the gulf. But growth proponents can make us "an offer we can't refuse." It's either this water or the truly environmentally unfriendly desalinated seawater. RJ. Windgassen Venice I guess five was too many 'Editor: Five out of 805. That's all, just five affordable units out of 805 units was all that Plan-. ning Commission Chair John Osmulski asked J&J Homes Laurel Lakes developer and his attorney, Jeffrey Boone, to set aside for affordable hous- ing. Boone's responses to Os- mulski and commissioners Benny Weaver and Tom Bix- ler's suggestions were: 1. That they were having a discus- sion, but didn't know where it will end; 2. If we do workforce housing, we will need higher density. 3. The owners of the five units would sell in three to five years at a windfall prof- it. He seemed to ignore sug- gestions that this could be avoided by deeds that would deter those sales. Meanwhile, the other plan- ning commissioners were si- lent. They offered no com- ments, pro or con, regarding affordable/workforce units. What will it take to convince the Venice City Hall powers of the desperate need for afford- able/workforce housing and give them the strength to work for it? Do theywant a city only for the rich? If so, their vision of Venice is counter to what Venice citizens' goals were when they attended the En- vision Venice public forums. It seems those goals have been, for the most part, aban- doned. Five out of 805. Is that real- ly asking too much? I don't think so. Maxine Barritt Venice Unreserved support for Doug Holder Editor: Give Holder a chance! Why have the media vili- fied the man for running a campaign based on issues (listen to him talk and'read his mailers) and overcoming great odds to.defeat what was considered to be well-con- nected opposition, one of whom was endorsed by three newspapers? The big rap I keep hearing is that he's only been here a year and moved here from another part of the state. So what? Last time I checked this was a state position. Most of us have moved here from somewhere else and we sure know what issues this state and area face. Also the last time I checked, family mem- bers could only contribute $500 each, so I'm not sure how his family could have bankrolled his campaign unless he has a ton of relatives and still, so what? If they want to help a fami- ly member out, let them. I have no reservations that Doug Holder will do a fine job of representing the people of South County should he win the general election. Don O'Nesky Venice Clinton went after terrorists Editor: Critical elections will take place this November and in 2008. Our country has been mismanaged for the last six years and its time for chang- es. Neoconservatives claim they're best at fighting terror- ists. Let's look at the facts. After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. The per- petrators were caught and punished. The blind mullah ringleader was already in jail, and was retried for the attack.

Join- ing the list of "utions": air poll-ution, water poll-ution, now here's more visual poll- ution. The cause? Why, it's time Sfor new leadership. The work- er bees will soon select the elect through elections. This is how the system works or does it? Let's look at the issues. Unfortunately we cannot, for there are no issues. The only things being discussed are what the spin doctors have defined as the "issues." From the top to bottom the agenda is debated in what George Orwell called "new- speak." So what is the subject of the."newspeak issues?" For openers all the candi- dates are against raising taxes. This makes sense with all the windfall tax dollars being reaped from skyrocketing property values. So here is a no-brainer being made into an issue. Then we are reas- sured no price gouging will be allowed should another hur- ricane occur. Everyone has filed the proper papers, everything is ready to go. Apparently these filings allow our prospective leaders to savage each other. What other justification is there for the vilification of Katherine Harris, or the re- cent unacceptable comments made by a sitting Sarasota County commissioner? I This backbiting has be- 1, come so intense the county now finds itself the object of ridicule on national late-' night comedy TV The chainm- bers of commerce must be overjoyed about all this. Before elections became personality contests, candi- dates addressed issues. You were either for or against something. The something you were for or against was also something of substance. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, we Americans are in serious trouble. The infrastructure is in shambles. From the shutdown of the Alaska pipeline to the condi- tion of the local roads, some- one has not been doing their job. Elections are supposed to be about choices. If there is nothing to choose between, then we will continue to receive more of the same. Everyone is for something. Nobody knows for what. From ATV riders who can't ride to info trailers that can't pork, why are we following protocols that were obsolete years ago? When are we going .to be- gin living in a real world and start addressing real issues? If the traffic congestion gets any worse this winter the whole state may turn into a parking lot. With the astounding amounts of cash siphoned off for education, where is the bang for these bucks? With all new buildings, buses, and teachers, should not Florida be first rather than 39th ad- cording 'to Morgan Quinto Press, publisher of state and city ranking publications? Another issue is water. Before the Southwest Florida Water Management District allowed the aquifer to be pumped dry, water bubbled up out of the ground. It still ,does at Salt Springs. Why are these free-flowing water sources capped or allowed to sediment up? Are any of the current "candy- dates" willing to address these tough questions? Ap- parently addressing sugar- coated issues like smoking and seat-belt enforcement are more important than public safety and quality of life. Then there are the retirees. What about their issues: loss of pensions, inability to afford prescription drugs. Who is their advocate? Finally, there are the homeless, or the combat vets now gathering under the bridges for lack of shelter. Where do they fit into this equation? With nothing of substance being debated, how is the electorate to know what is of substance? With candidates attacking each other over meaningless or personal issues, perhaps it's time to change the system. Let's start with the ballot. Instead of voting for A, B, or C, let's add a new category- none of the above. That way a lot of people who don't like what they see will be able to express their opinion. Ray Stoner, a resident of Warm Mineral Springs, is a frequent contributor to the Sun papers. MARTIN from Paqe4A Can they play Well with others? City council has a number, perhaps a majority, of mem- bersf who seem to have the Ability. to make reasoned. judgments and to negotiate'dni :good faith with others. Negotiations between the city and the-county are not going to be a one-way street. While the county is right that Venice has in almost every case increased the den- sity of annexed properties beyond the county's plans, 0 the county has also approved growth near Venice without consultation, which affects the city and its residents. It will be interesting to see what progress may occur dur- ing the moratorium. As one who has attended a good number of council and planning commission meet- ings, I have heard Mayor Fred Hammett and City Manager Marty Black, among others, express hostility toward the county and its representatives not necessarily without some provocation. It seems likely that council members Bill Willson, Vicki Taylor, John Moore and perhaps Rick Tacy will have to set the tone for negotiations on Venice's part about its annexation and long-term planning goals. There are, for example, a number of projects that have , been granted or are asking for planning and zoning designa- tions that will allow 75-85 foot heights in the North Venice area. Will council have the wisdom, vision and will to turn down those requests in the "conditional approval' process?

City should loosen the purse strings Help needed. I just read the article on city budget grant requests. I know for a fact that this the first year the city of Venice gave money to Venice Little League and Venice Vikings and they're saying they've been getting it all along. Somebody ought to do a records request or public records request arid find out how long they've giving grants out to these little non- profit youth groups. I know for a fact that it's the first time those two associations got any money from the city of Venice. The department head over there went around telling those associ- ations to request the money. The city of Venice is not meant for today's youth or younger families. I don't know what kind of game the city manager is trying to play but apparently it's not one in the public's best interest. It kind of reminds me George Hunt. It's a shame. We've got good programs around here and the city doesn't want to do anything about it. They seem to let the kids go to vandalism and destruction. They complain about today's youth when they've got youth groups willing to help out. Times are tough for everybody, that's understandable especially those volunteer groups that are willing to help. It's a shame that the city is getting old. EDITOR'S NOTE: At the budget hearing the youth groups themselves said they had received city funding previously and were asking that it be continued or enhanced. Get scientific. The sarcastic Let'em Have It that suggests cutting our speed limits in half strikes a chord of truth. Disguised as a safety issue, our politically determined speed limits are really rev- enue enhancers that make criminals out of most drivers. Who among us has never deliberately broken a speed limit? Although it's been many years since I've been caught in a speed trap, the injustice still sticks in my' craw. Even though I appreciate the assistance that our police give us when we are in dis- tress, whenever I. see yet another driver pulled over for speeding, I still can't help-feel- ing resentful. I don't want to be upset ever again with these officers for just doing their jobs, so please won't someone inform me as to how we can get our speed limits set scien- tifically at a safe level one that we can all respect. , High achievers.

Four months Earlier in the day, North Port City Attorney Rob Robinson told the North Port City Commission that yet another annexation request had come in on Friday. "Of substance, late this morning, (Planning & Zoning Director) Sam (Jones) informed me we had an annexation filed Friday for the (Manatee Community College) entrance road, about 14.2 acres," Robinson said. He added that the petition would be held in abeyance for six months, or until March 13. "For the most part, it's a cease-fire for six months," said Robinson. "But (it's) real- ly a little shorter than that." Four months, actually. The drop-dead date is Jan. 12. If the county commission- ers are not satisfied that sub- stantive progress has been made with joint planning agreements by then, they will advertise a referendum for the March 13 ballot that could give the county more power over annexation of rural land by the cities. Is four months enough time? "We work well under pres- sure, all of us," said North Port City Commissioner Barbara Gross. "I think the nuts and bolts are there, and once the staff puts something together and brings it to the different commissions, we can say'yea' or 'nay' on different things. It's going to be hard, but doable." North Port Commissioner Fred Tower agreed. "This has been brewing for a long time," he said. "It goes back to 2001-2002. We're well prepared for it. We have a good background for it. We can do it because all of us have it set in our mind that we need an agreement." "Joint meetings are most important to let the county know where we will and where we won't be willing to budge," Gross said. "(In the meantime) we can get a PR firm and get ourselves togeth- er so if in January they decide to go to ballot, we'll be off and running."

Osterhoudt also referred to a second analysis performed in 2005, not survey based, that utilized fixed points (Venice Inlet, Big Pass and New Pass) and 16 aerial stud- ies. These indicated that about 77 percent of the boaters used waters within 3 miles of local inlets. He said this survey was compared to another in 1995 and showed impressive in- creases in boater traffic, espe- cially in\enice Inlet. z -; Englewood Community Redevelopment Area Coord- inator Chris Davis asked how boat size was figured into manatee injuries. Osterhoudt said blunt- force impacts are being stud- ied to learn more about pro- peller injuries inflicted on manatee carcasses recovered from area waters.

BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR It was January of 2001. The high of winning a state cham- pionship was still pumping through the veins of Venice High head football coach Nick Coleman. Always looking for ways to improve the program, Cole- man had a vision. Gone would be the tiny, overcrowd- ed, antiquated room where grid players and all Indian athletes for that matter - did their weight training. In its place would be a new, spacious, on-campus "well- ness center" that would be a multi-dimensional weight training/wrestling room/, cheerleading practice area. Coleman revealed his dream to boosters and Line- backer Club members that fall. The idea was received with enthusiasm. The blueprints were going to be drawn up. Cost estimates were made. Optimism abounded. Coleman originally believ- ed the ribbon cutting would come by late 2004 maybe early 2005. Here it is almost the fall of 2006, and there still are no signs of even a groundbreak- ing at the site. The decrepit, old tennis courts remain. To add insult to injury, the price of the project has jump- ed dramatically in three years. "The whole thing frustrates me," said Coleman, the highly successful grid mentor. "This thing should have been a done deal. Here we are and we're still in the old weight room." Coleman isn't being selfish about the wellness center concept, either. "If you play a sport, it goes through the weight room, plain and simple," he said. "We're talking about all the girls sports, too. The wrestlers would have a home. There would be so many benefits with the wellness center." While the wellness center dream is not dead, it has suf- fered many detours and set- backs along the road. Right off the bat, the de- sign of the project took much longer than anticipated. The final blueprints weren't com- pleted until November of 2005. The original cost estimate made in October 2003 for the 8,400-square-foot building was $365,000, or $43 per square foot. The original project budget was $450,000. The school board would kick in $150,000, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation would cover $150,000, and the rest would be raised by boosters and donors. The Sarasota School Board approved the project in 2003. Then the red tape started to kick in. The price has risen drp- matically in three years. Hurricane Charley, the construction boom and infla- tion has jumped the full market price of the project to $741,000, or $88 per square, foot. That's more than double in just three years. That price would likely kill the whole enchilada. Enter developet/builder Mike Miller to the rescue. He agreed to discount the price and take on the project with no profit or overhead for the contractor. That figure now rests at $564,000. "With the price from Mr. Miller, we believe a realis- tic budget would now be $600,000," said local attorney Wayne Hall, who has donat- ed his services with .the hopes of seeing the Wellness Center go to fruition. "We have about $450,000 in committed funds at this point. We are asking the school board to commit an additional $150,000. so this badly needed project can be built." This can be a sore spot. County schools are already dealing with budget cuts. Teachers lost their jobs fol- lowing the 2005-06 school year. Finding extra money for Venice's wellness center cer- tainly can't be high on the list.

The project still hasn't gotten off the ground after years of talk and planning. done. "It's a big time priority," he said. "We're searching every avenue." Up until 2004, the wrest- ling team had its own port- able to work out in. That was taken away from them and they were banished to tem- porary homes in the old weight room and south gym. It looks like they'll have to use the old south gym again this school year. "We're a building short," Dombroski said. "We know it's a necessity. Unforeseen things happened. I believe it's-gonna get done.- just, not as quick as people want." The meeting Oct. 19 Venice High principal Candy Millington said there will be a meeting discussing the future of the wellness center on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the school. Not only will VHS officials be present, but also county school board bigwigs from The Landings. "The purpose is to try to make it go," Millington said. "We are short. The campus and student body need this. We all want it. It's a rnecessity." BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR Over the past 11 years, Dan Kelly has built the Venice High wrestling program into a statewide power. The Indians are annually ranked among the top 10 teams in Florida and Kelly and his trusty staff have produced five individual champions over the past fiveyears. SIn fact, the wresding pro- gram is one of the most suc- cessful athletic programs at VHS. All was happy back in the day when the Indian mat- men had their own wrestling room a portable classroom remodeled to suit the pro- gram's need. - It wasn't exactly pretty, but it was a place to call home. Then two years ago, the wrestlers were rendered as orphans. "They tore down the port- able," Kelly said. The team was first moved to the weight room, then to the old south gym, where athletes have to unroll and roll up their mats before and after practice. If the projected wellness center had been in place, the wrestlers would have had - their own space. "This will be the third year in a row we've been dis- placed," Kelly said. "It's ruin- ing our program. It's crushed our morale and gutted ouir team." Things aren't likely to im- prove for 2006-07. "We've been offered a cou- ple of places off campus," Kelly said. "One was an old bar that's going to be demol- ished. It's a joke." It will be back to sharing the south gym again. "It's a short-term solution," Kelly said. "We're starting from scratch. It's been a trail of broken promises." One that can only be solv- ed with the wellness center finally coming to fruition. Ladies, perfect 10 Aquinas vs. Venice Act III BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR The Venice High volleyball team stretched its season- opening win steak to 10 Monday night, as the Lady Indians repelled visiting Bayshore in three straight games, 25-11, 25-20, 25-17.. Venice coach Brian Wheat- ley was able to give everyone quality playing time against the Lady Bruins. Hence, the stat sheet was pretty well balanced. The three freshmen on the squad all contributed. Outside hitter Dorothy Rahal had nine kills. Middle Jillian Allen had four kills and five blocks. Setter Taylor Capasso ran the offense like a veteran. She fin- ished with 17 assists. Of course, the regulars had their moments in limited roles. Middle Casie Richards had seven kills and four blocks. Sidekick Ashley Graf was also a presence in the middle. Right side Kaylee Ream had a good night with five kills. Outside Amanda Garofalo contributed four kills. Several Lady Indians served the ball with precision, result- ing in key runs. Casey Taylor, Nickie Halbert, Capasso, Graf, Allen and Garofalo registered aces. Bayshore (6-9), which has nine seniors, played well in spurts. Middle Lindie Morand had 10 kills. Lefty Yolanda Ibasfalear was tough at the service stripe. BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR Some schools will go to great lengths to play against' top-notch competition. Earlier this season, Chiles came down from Tallahas- see to Venice for a volleyball ' match. This Wed- nesday, St. Thomas Aquinas will Wheatley make the trip over from Fort Lauderdale to play the Lady Indians. Special starting time is 5 p.m. Venice, ranked No. 1 in Class 5A, will take a 10-0 Graf steps up to become a force record into Wednesday's showdown. Aquinas, ranked No. 10, has defeated the Lady In- dians the past two years - during the regular season last year and in a memorable five-game state final match in 2004. "It will be a great test for us," Venice coach Brian Wheatley said. "They are known for their net play. They are one of the tallest teams in the state. Their out- sides hurt the ball." Aquinas averages over 6- feet up front. Outsides Paola Ruiz and Katie Bradley are top notch. Aquinas is coached by Lisa Zielinski, who has been at the helm for 19 years. She has guided the Lady Raiders to two state titles in 1995 and 2004. Aquinas has an 8-2 record this season. The losses were best of threes to Timber Creek and Fort Myers. The, Lady Raiders have beaten some pretty good teams, but the Lauderdale area is not a hotbed for the sport. "We don't have a lot of competition, so we try to get good matches," Zielinski said. "They will make you a better team. Venice came to visit us last year." And now it's the Lady Raiders turn to return the favor. There 'will be a Venice Volleyball Boosters Club meeting after the Aquinas match. VENICE HIGH SCHOOL'S Athlete of the Week Sophomore swimmer Tyler Revels has set a new school record for the boys 100 beast stroke. His time is 1 minute, 3.21 seconds. The old record stood for 25 years before Revels broke it in a meet in Punta Gorda. w Congratulations! BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR The big question entering this season for the Venice High volleyball team is could last year's reserves step up to fill the shoes of graduated Class 5A Player of the Year Dana Dumas? Casie Richards and Ashley Graf have pretty much ans- wered that with their play on the court. Graf is a 6-foot tall senior whose game has matured big time in the past year. As with Richards, she has become a force in the middle both blocking and spiking the ball. Last year, Graf played right side for the state champion Lady Indians. "It's different," compared Graf. "The middle is a lot quicker. You're more a part of offense and defense. I'm start- ing to get used to it. I can only get better." The same applies for serv- ing. Graf was admittedly just average at the stripe, but has stepped it up. "I wasn't that good," she admitted. "It's just practice." Now, Graf is a threat to serve up an ace every time she steps up.

"Char- lotte was a breakthrough match. In fact, she's improved every match. She's improved her attack. She got a lot stronger in the offseason and it made her a more physical player. Her confidence is sky high. We're expecting big things from her down the stretch." This is the fifth year Graf has played volleyball.

But there are plenty of ways to avoid these charges. Indeed, those who stay close to home should never have to pay an ATM fee. Things may be a little more challenging for people who travel a lot. But with a little planning, paying an ATM fee should be a rare event. Although media pundits keep speculating about the prospect of a "cashless soci- ety," Americans have not lost their desire for walking- around money. This despite the fact that retailers are more willing than ever to accept credit cards for even the smallest purchases. The bad news is that withdrawing cash from a "foreign" ATM foreign to your bank's network, that is - could cost maybe $4 a transaction. Worst case, you will be hit with processing charges from both your bank and the bank whose ATM you're using. These fees are rarely more than $2 a use, and cover both the cost of the transaction and a small, profit to the bank. Critics argue that because ATMs are cheaper than live tellers, all ATM transactions should be available at no charge. The usual counter- argument is that banks are no more obligated to let noncustomers use their ATMs than they are to cash checks for anyone who comes in off the street. Recognizing that transac- tion fees are justifiable but unpopular, the entire bank- ing industry is gradually turning against de practice. Narnv comrmunity bank- charge their customers noth- ing for withdrawals from "foreign" ATMs, although they may still have to pay a fee to the bank that owns the ATM. Overall, banks large and small are not so much re- nouncing their ATM fees as helping their customers find ways to circumvent them. This has been accomplished by creating networks of co- operating financial institu- tions that waive all or part of their fees. Dodge the fees Ultimately, there's no sub- stitute for being an informed banking customer. Here are some strategies for avoiding ATM charges: As a rule, few banks charge customers for with- drawals or deposits from their own ATMs. However, cus- tomers should be aware that there may be a charge for premium services such as mini-statements. The ma- chine will usually inform the customer when this is the case. Large institutions like Bank of America or Wachovia operate their own ATMs in nearly all major Florida cit- ies. Many customers pick these institutions mainly be- cause of this convenience. Smaller community banks are often members of one or more of the many ATM networks operating across the nation. These net- works have helped commun- ity banks remain competitive with larger institutions. When opening an ac- count, get the bank's fee schedule. Read and under- stand it. Many banks offer a monthly quota of free trans- actions at "foreign" ATMs as a benefit with certain premi- um checking accounts. How- ever, these accounts usually require maintaining a mini- mum balance. Know the location of your bank's ATMs both where you live and places you visit. This information is available on the Internet or by visiting your local bank branch.. Know the location of other cash machines that will accept your bank's card at no charge. The Presto! network oM-ned b\ Pubjib Super Mlar- kets Inc. is arguably ithe most popular of these services in Florida. If you find yourself stranded in a location where you absolutely must pay an ATM fee, remember that the charge is usually a flat fee per transaction. Therefore, it's cheaper to withdraw $200 than $20. Understand that an ATM card can also be used as a debit card at many retailers, SUN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY PAUL SCHMIDT The Presto! cash machine network has been a major hit with Publix customers and has helped make community banks more competitive with larger institutions. providing an alternative to cash, checks or credit cards. Presto! participants Local bankers are unani- mous in praising the value of Presto! to their customers. Launched in 1982, Presto! is now available in about 880 Publix supermarkets in Flor- ida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. Publix spokeswoman Shannon Patten explained that shoppers whose banks are part of the Presto! net- Wyolk can uLse the ATTMs fur tree. The inachines will also accept main', nonmeinber cards for $1 per transaction. An astonishing 1,500 fi- nancial institutions are mem- bers of Presto!, so informed customers should ask wheth- er their bank is part of this network. Member banks range from the largest to the smallest. Bank of America the sec- ond-largest bank in the na- tion, which operates a huge network of its own ATMs - also offers.the convenience of Presto! to its customers. Other large institutions that do business in Charlotte, ,Sarasota and DeSoto count- ies and are also Presto! mem- bers are Colonial Bank and RBC Centura Bank. Also in Presto! is a Fifth Third Bank, which is in Sarasota County and has announced plans to enter the Charlotte County. market next year. Wachovia, M&I Bank, and AmSouth Bank are not cur- rently listed as members, according to Publi:. Howev-eer, Patten said that Publix akes thi, service available to banks and credit unions at' no charge, and continues to accept new members. But where Presto! really comes into its own is in leveling the playing field be- tween super-regional and community banks. Consid- ering that Publix is, in nearly every Florida community, the fact that community banks can't be everywhere becomes less of a problem. Other smaller local insti- tutions that are part of Presto! are Englewood Bank, Penin- sula Bank, First Community Bank of America, Marine Bank, and Tarpon Coast Na- tional Bank. Florida Com- munity Bank is not currently a member. Consumers who can't ob- tain Presto! access through their banks may be able to get a card if they are mem- bers of a credit union. In fact, the vast majority of the 1,500 Presto! members are credit unions. Among those o6p'era tig locally are Florida Central Credit hUnion and GTE Federal Credit Union. Who charges what? Here's a summary of what local banks are charging for transactions at "foreign" ATMs. Keep in mind that banks can only control their own fees, so customers need to know their own bank's policy and that of the bank whose ATM they're using. Colonial Bank, $3. BankUnited, $1. AmSouth bank, $2. , *Wachovia, $2. Bank of America, $2. SouthTrust Bank, $2. RBC Centura Bank, $2. None of these banks charges customers for using their own ATMs. Even without one of your bank's ATMs or a Presto! machine nearby, there are other strategies to withdraw cash at no cost. Consumers shouldn't for- get that their ATM card is also a debit card. Not only are more merchants accept- ing debit cards, some \ill even ask whetherr the cus- tomer wants cash back with their purchase. This isn't just a matter of providing great customer service. By reducing the amount of cash they have on hand, customers also may feel more secure. You can e-mail Bob Fliss at: bfliss@sun-herald.com.

Sarasota County purchases Old Miakka tract STAFF REPORT Sarasota County announc- ed Tuesday it had purchased property in the Old Miakka protection priority site near the eastern end of Fruitville Road. The 129-acre parcel sale closed on Aug. 31 for just more than $4.1 million as part of the county's Environmen- tally Sensitive Lands Protec- tion Program. The 1,374-acre Old Miakka protection site extends south to Myakka River State Park and contains lands protected by the Crowley Museum and Nature Center and The Great Outdoors Conservancy. It also provides habitat for a diversi- ty of Florida wildlife, includ- ing scrub jays, gopher tortois- es, eastern indigo snakes, wading birds, raptors and Sherman fox squirrels. 'Acquiring this land will protect high-quality scrub habitat in the northeastern corner of the county," said Program Coordinator Brooke Elias in a press release. "Scrubby and pine flatwoods, mesic hammock, and hard- wood swamp habitats also occur on this parcel." This is the county's first Environmentally Sensitive Lands purchase within the Old Miakka site, which has been on the protection prior- ity list since the program's inception. The county bought the land from James, Stacie and Edward O'Neill, who have owned the land for many years.

For an entry Please see COOL, 9B BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER Venice Area Board of Realtors has a lot to celebrate these days. For starters, it will mark its 50th anniversary tomorrow night at the Jacaranda West Country Club. Festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with a brief business meeting to elect 2007 officers and directors. The occasion will offer a chance to celebrate 50 years of accomplishments and contemplate what to expect in the future. The board is riding high after this past weekend's showing at the Florida Association of Realtors. For the 14th time in the past 16 years, the Venice Area Board of Realtors received the Board Achievement Award from the Florida Association of Realtors for being the best board in the medium size category. The award is based on activity from June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2005, and encompassed the presiden- cies of Brian R. Meurs and David Cromwell. Judging is based on activi- ty and accomplishments of members, activity in the community, and at the state and national level. Members received the award at the annual FAR Convention held in Hollywood. This brings the total to 15 achievement and 17 educa- tion awards more than any other : Also at the ' con- yen- - tion, " VABR ..' entered '., into a .. Multiple , Listing Service data -bo share agree- ment among eight area boards and asso- ciations. Coe o "This accom- plishment will allow members to share MLS data and provide more exposure to market proper- ties among the cooperating members, said David Cromwell, president ofVABR. "This is a win-:win situa- tion for not only Realtors but for sellers and buyers as well." The data share concept came into play because of the desire to cooperate while maintaining different MLS vendors, he said. Participating associations will include Sarasota, Englewood, Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte/North Port, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Fort Meyers, Naples and Venice. Involved The board was first char- tered in 1956 by the National Association of Realtors. A spinoff of the Sarasota Board of Realtors, VABR built its own facility on Substation Road in 1981. They're com- pleting a feasibility study for a new building, because they've outgrown their pre- sent building, according to Cromwell. Cromwell is proud of the fact its board has become very active in local affordable housing. The VABR recently co-sponsored an Affordable Housing Forum with other organizations and associa- tions in the county. Members are also involved in other community organizations related to housing, including smart growth initiatives and other organizations that encourage affordable housing projects. They recently.made a commitment to raise $85,000 to build a Habitat house in a new townhouse project ,being planned in the Venice area, Cromwell said. A kickoff party netted more than $7,500 toward the pro- ject. . \r- VABR raised $23,000 in scholarships for local students for college during the past year. The board holds an annual golf outing to raise the funds. That pro- gram is supplemented by educational program pro- ceeds and auctions. Other community activi- ties include cleaning the beach, painting homes for elderly, disabled or needy residents, holding food dri- ves and stuffing Christmas stockings for the Salvation Army. They even collect a variety of items for various organizations, like newspa- pers for the Shriners, printer ,SUN PHOTO BY JEFF TAVARES. jtavares@venicegonodlier.com Executive Vice-President Marlene S.

This year marks the 25th year Merkle has been with the board. She's seen a lot of changes, including villas that went for $58,000 and 17 per- cent interest rates. When she joined VABR, the latest technological advance was the IBM Selectric typewriter with its nifty correcting tape. She remembers when the MLS books came out every other week. "The information would already be two weeks old," she said. "Over a hundred Realtors would converge on the building to get their hands on the MLS book." Today, the MLS is avail- able online and the hordes of Realtors are gone.

"It was a good chance convey association information to the membership." Merkle estimates Realtors account for about half of all home sales. The MLS is mainly (about) resale. The rest is sold by builders who sell their own products and people who sell their own homes, she said. Ups and downs VABR came into being shortly after a boom in South Venice that would change the face of real estate in Florida. Authors GeorgeYoungberg Sr. and Earl Aumann (Venice, 1969) trace Venice real estate booms back to 1947 after WWII when the federal gov- ernment found itself with a huge investment (former US Army Air Base built in Venice in 1941) of idle land and costly upkeep. A large part of the base was deeded to the city with- out cost as a municipal air- port. 'Another economic lift came in 1952 when the W&A Construction Co. of NewYork bought a large tract of land on Tamiami Trail just south of the city and started a nationwide advertising cam- paign offering 40-foot lots at $200 each in a new subdivi- sion called South Venice," said the authors. "The response was phe- nomenal," they wrote. "With the confidence inspired by the sponsorship of the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce, a total of 19,700 lots were sold in a little over two years. Buyers by the hundreds started pouring into the area by bus, train and automobile. The sale of the lots sparked the present development of the entire central west coast of Florida. "The success of the South Venice venture provided the incentive that subsequently brought dozens of home building subdivisions into being from one of Sarasota County to the other. In those eight years of formative growth (1954-61) nearly 500 residences were built in South Venice and 667 new homes within the Venice City limits." In 1960 Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus brought their winter home to Venice. "The Greatest Show on Earth was moving its winter quarters to Venice Municipal Airport after 32 years in Sarasota," they wrote. It made the city of Sarasota and it can do the same forVenice, said the executive secretary and mangers of Sarasota County Chamber of Commerce when it happened. By 1954, the population had jumped from 863 credited to the city in 1950 to 2,207 according to a survey by the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce. It was this kind of growth to led to establishing VABR. Merkle credits the recent real estate frenzy with more than doubling its member- ship. The number of paid members and associate members rose from 450 to over 1,000 in just the last three years, Merkle said. Mirroring the cyclical nature of the business, she doesn't expect that to last. "I wouldn't be surprised if we lose 20 percent of our members by the time dues come out," she said. But that doesn't dampen Merkle's spirit. Plenty of Realtors have weathered the ups and downs of the real estate market, and have done quite well over the years, she points out. It's the quality of the membership that counts, not Please see REALTORS, 10B 2B VENICE GONDOLIER SUN Symposium on preservation Sept. 30 STAFF REPORT "What will become of our Florida panthers?

E <,'lnni PP The Student Leadership Academy of Venice recently received notification from Gov.

J-LasOL year, someone coined the nickname 'The Little School That Could,' and I think it's appropriate," said Trina Aker, a teacher at the school.

I am. thrilled that we have proven that the vision for the school is sound and that we are finally being rec- ognized as a wonderful, high achieving school." "The school provides an alternative tp the huge mid- dle school setting, by offering small class sizes in an inti- mate learning environment," Marble said.

If you sense, or have been told, that your child lacks one of these, the problem may have originated at home. It can also be helped at home. If your child doesn't seem to care about schoolwork, he may actually be covering up the fact that it is too difficult for him. Parents can have a gut-level instinct that some- thing isn't'right, and some can even pinpoint the skill that is lacking once they become more involved in the home- work process. Ask for more reading aloud now and then, so you can look and listen for problems. Watch his attempts'at math.

But unless he hears it explicit- ly from someone who matters to him, a child might think that passing classes is a divine right. It is possible that his lack of motivation stems from not receiving a clear message from the adults in his life about the importance of edu- cation. How do you handle your child's negative behavior toward school? Do you find yourself making excuses for his classroom behavior by saying, "He's bored?" Or, "It must be because of a person- ality conflict with the teacher?" Without realizing it, you might be handing your child excuses for not making an effort. Your message to him about school and teachers can give him a legitimate handicap in the classroom. Ask yourself if you have spoken disrespectfully about a teacher in front 'of your child. Has your child been present during a confronta- tional' conversation with his teacher? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, it is likely that your child will fol- Gentlet .

Save any complaints you might have regarding the teacher, school or classroom issues for a time when you can have a private discussion with the teacher. Additionally, for the child's sake, be open to the teacher's comments about your child's behavior in the classroom. It may help to listen, and take time to think, before responding with an excuse. Once affected, a child's motivation and -respect for teachers will not naturally improve over time. Effective intervention by the adults in his life is a necessity. Parents are still the No. 1 influence in a child's life. Your ability to stay objec- tive, even when a teacher seems especially difficult to work with, will model valu- able lessons about negotia- tion, and reinforce the impor- tance of school. Academic motivation and respect for teachers are defi- nitely major prerequisites for all students. Lynn Reifert is the owner and an instructor at The Study Center Inc.-Venice.

On the AnySoldier.com home page there's a warning to the public stating the con- tents of this site are "addic- tive," and "people using the site may be overcome with tears of sympathy or joy." The warning on the site also says exploring Any Soldier.com may cause a sense of pride in the great nation and the fighting men and women who defend its freedom. "I was so excited when I received three letters in one day from Iraq," Whitham said. Impressed - With the help of her hus- band, George, Whitham first began sending packages to soldiers overseas in Novem- ber, but stopped in March due to a lack of funds. During the four-month period, the couple estimates spending about $3,000 on items and shipping costs, benefiting more than 70 sol- diers overseas. "The costs eventually caught up to us," Carol said sadly about having to stop sending packages. One of the many soldiers the couple was able to reach is Kevin A. McManus, a pilot from the 101st Airborne Di- vision. He is originally from a little town called Weare, N.H. Now he lives in Tennessee and his parents live in Florida.

Candy, deodorant and sun- glasses are just a few items almost anyone can get easily - but not if you're stationed in the desert. America's soldiers often fill their wish lists with little things that many people take for granted. Carol Whitham under- stood there was a need. She often spent more than she could afford to help as many overseas soldiers as possible. "Once I began sending them items, it became an addiction," Whitham said. "It was hard to walk into a store and see something soldiers wanted and not buy it for them." Whitham, a longtime North Port resident, experi- enced what she calls an "addiction" to good will. After discovering aWeb site called AnySoldier.com, Whit- ham obtained contact infor- mation on many soldiers. They are encouraged to post list items they need or would like to have.

Sarasota and surrounding counties have a wealth of ser- vices for families looking to improve or just get a little help. Many of these services are not well known, or worse, they fall apart because people who can help, including refer- ral agencies, don't know about them. Help has come now in the form of a $9 million grant awarded by the federal Sub- stance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adminis- tration, called SAMHSA. The $9 million grant, called the SAMHSA grant, is for the pur- pose of helping transform children's mental health care through creating a "system of care." A system of care is defined as a spectrum of mental health and non-men- tal health services, which are coordinated into a network that better melds the many and changing needs of chil- dren and their families., - The system is designed to help cover all bases of family care, ensuring that no fami- lies fall through the cracks of the system. Human services manager Chip Taylor serves as the prin- ciple investigator who is ad- ministering this sizable grant. Sherry Crelin is the com- munications coordinator for the Sarasota County Health Department. On Sept. 5, she facilitated the first mental health fair for the public. ' "The fair was held at the request of the education department. The teachers SUN PHOTO BY COURTNEY LINN The public was invited to attend an event to educate people about available mental health services. Area educators asked for the event to take place. wanted to know what services are available in the communi- ty," Crelin said. According to Crelin, the Florida Center for Child and Family Development is the lead agency for the grant. She also said that TFC is well versed in mental health. TFC is the first place fami- lies will go, and then, based on their needs, they will be referred to varying programs that can help them. I Crelin also said that when families are assessed, they are not simply picked apart, pointing out only the nega- tive. "They look at the needs of the family, find out what their strengths are, and then they fill in the gaps," Crelin said. The grant focuses on chil- dren ages 0-8 years, and it is the first of its kind.

The fact is, however, that a second concussion may prove to be far worse than the first. A rare but potentially fatal condition known as "second-impact syndrome" can occur when an athlete who has suffered a concussion experiences a second blow while the brain is still vulnerable. The second blow does not have to be very strong for its effects to be deadly or permanently disabling. It is estimated that more than 300,000 sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries occur in this country annually. There is nothing heroic about that statistic. P.S. A concussion is a type of traumatic injury that occurs when a blow jostles the brain inside the skull.

If a family chooses, as a part of the grant, its progress is followed for three years. This process is facilitated by the University of South Flor- ida.

Today's science topic is: In- sect Intelligence. I don't know about you, but I've always taken comfort in the idea that insects are stupid. For exam- ple, if I'm outdoors and a bee lands on me and starts walk- ing around on my head - causing me to turn rigid with fear, terrified that, if I move, the bee will become angry and sting me in the eyeball - I've always reassured myself by thinking: "This bee does not wish to harm me! Its tiny brain is confused! It thinks I am a flower!" But now I have received, from alert reader Greg Stev- ens, a news item by the Reut- ers (pronounced 'Associated Press") news service concern- ing an experiment, conduct- ed by bee scientists at the Free University of Berlin, suggest- ing that bees are not so dumb after all. The article states that these scientists, whose names are Lars and Karl, set up various landmarks between,a beehive and a bee feeder. After the bees had located the feeder, Lars and Karl started chang- ing the locations of the feeder and landmarks. The surpris- ing result: Lars and Karl were both killed by eyeball stings. No, seriously, they discov- ered that the bees were locating the feeder by counting the landmarks.Yes! Bees can count! This means that bees, in terms of math skills, are ahead of most American high school graduates. It also means that, contrary to my earlier belief, when a bee is walking around on my head, it knows exactly where it is and what it's doing. It's thinking: "Ha ha! He thinks I'm look- ing for a flower, when in fact I am here for the express writ- ten purpose of watching him turn rigid with terror while I poop in his hair! I can't wait to get back to the hive and tell everybody the landmark coordinates for this bozo!" The German discovery makes you wonder what else bees have been hiding from us. For example: I have always wondered how 'they really obtain honey. I do not believe that they make it themselves. What would they use for utensils? I've never made honey, but I have made fudge, which belongs to the same chemical family (technically, the "Fam- ily Of Things You Can Put On Ice Cream") and I know for a fact that you need, at mini- mum, a stove and a candy thermometer. My guess is, if you were to poke around in the bushes near a beehive, you'd find piles of empty plas- tic squeeze bottles shaped like little bears. But here's what really con- cerns me: If bees can count, the logical assumption is that they can also read. Therefore, I wish to make a sincere an- nouncement to any bees walk- ing around on this publication: I did not blow up the hive near Evan Thompson's house in Armonk, N.Y, in 1961. I was present, but it was Evan who lit the cherry bomb. Please do not hurt me. It is very funny when you poop in my hair. Ha ha! I believe Evan still lives in the New York metropolitan area. Thank you. Here is another troubling thought: Bees are not the only smart insects. I have here an item from a 1995 issue of Popular Science, alertly sent in by Frank Schropfer, which states that cockroaches can display intelligent behavior even when their heads have been removed. I don't know about you, but I didn't even know cockroaches had heads. I thought that, as members of what biologists call the "Family of Animals That It Is Morally OK To Drop An Unabridged Dictionary On," cockroaches were just icky little brown bod- ies with legs and feelers sticking out. But it turns out that they do have heads, and according to Popular Science, they "can live for several days" without them. But here's the amazing thing: Researchers have found that cockroaches, when their heads are removed, immedi- ately start performing country- style line dances. No, seriously, Popular Sci- ence states that headless cock- roaches can, when prompted by electrical shocks, learn to run a maze. Without heads, they can learn a maze in 30 minutes. I seriously doubt that headless humans could beat that time, although just to be sure we should definite- ly run some experiments using volunteer Tobacco Institute scientists. I also think we should find out what, exactly, the re- searchers do with the cock- roach heads. You would defi- nitely want heavy security for those babies. You would not want them to fall into the wrong hands. TV NEWS ANCHOR: In our top story tonight, terrorists have threatened that, unless the United States government gives them Cincinnati, they are going to dump cockroach heads into the nation's vul- nerable supply of movie pop- corn. We now go live to the White House press secretary, who has a statement. PRESS SECRETARY: I'm going to throw up. In conclusion, we see that the issue of insect intelligence is not as simple as we thought it was before we started to think about it. So the next time a mosquito lands on our arm, and we are tempted to whack it, we should pause and remind ourselves that the mosquito is a thinking being just like us, and that with proper training and encour- agement it might be able not only to count and run mazes, but perhaps also to laugh, to sing, to philosophize, even to write poetry. And then we should whack it. Because we hate poetry. Dave Barry is taking a leave of absence from writing his weekly humor column.

"This shows me how great a nation I serve." Carol said one of the things she learned through this ex- perience is that most soldiers overseas feel they needed to be there to make a difference.
