"6 V. l PO GA WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY EDITION, OCT. 25-26,2006 BOX 117007 INESVILLE FL 32611-7007 All the way from Portland in a 60s-style Tramonto Vista Park Design challenged by new group Portland, Ore., residents Ben Rozsa and Matt Moorsehead have been cruising around town in this brightly painted van. The boys are visiting Rozsa's grandparents, Dave and Lynn Green. BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFF WRITER It isn't ghosts from Woodstock driving through Venice in a van painted in psychedelic colors. Instead, it's Dave and Lynn Green's grandson, Ben Rozsa, and his friend Matt Moorsehead of Portland, Ore. Rozsa and Moorsehead, both 20, said they took the scenic route to Florida. They have traveled and slept in the 1975 Volkswagen van for the past two and a half months after receiving the Greens' invitation to visit. "She (Lynn) said I was wel- come to stay as long as I wanted and to bring a friend. We started for Florida the next week," Rozsa said. Leaving their jobs in Portland, they took the opportunity to see many sights along the way. "We stopped at the Grand Canyon and then went down to Mexico to see Matt's grand- parents," Rozsa said. They then headed to Baja,, Calif., to visit friends before turning the van toward Florida. "We really started living in the van at that point," Rozsa said. Dressed in tie-dye shirts and sporting long, curly hair, the boys look like throwbacks from the hippie generation. Lynn had been forewarned about the van, but she had no idea of its range of colors. "My grandmother just stood there and gasped with wide eyes when she saw it," Rozsa said. "Then she laughed." The Greens were afraid Venice wouldn't allow the boys to park the van on the streets. But that hasn't been an issue. In addition to the psyche- delic paint, soulful love say- ings are etched around the outside of the van. "'Make hunnmmus, not war,' is my, favorite saying," Moorsehead said. Hummus is a vegetarian staple made of chickpeas. It's the type of food the two live on when they are short on funds. The inside walls of the van are decorated with auto- graphs from friends they've met along the way. The fur- nishings bunk beds and tie-dye curtains look like they were taken straight out of the 60s. Lessons in life Traveling cross country in a van is not without its perils. "If you ever get the chance to go to El Paso, Texas, don't," Rozsa said. They broke down on a hot day in El Paso in an area where their cell phones didn't work. "We rode our bikes for miles until we found a mechanic willing to repair the van," he said. Showers are also a prob- lem, since they sleep in the van and not in motels. "Matt asked a maid once if we could use the shower in an empty motel room," Rozsa said. "You have to be pretty Please see VAN, 5A BY ROLLIE REYNOLDS STAFF WRITER "Venice 4 Positive Future" is the name of a new group of Venice citizens who intend to make their voice and views heard by the city council. Their representatives made a presentation at Tues- day's council meeting which included an impassioned plea that, council reconsider its design plans for Tramonto Vista Park. "Venice needs to recognize the youth and young families among its citizens," said Jason Weaver, chairman of the group. "We are asking council to revisit its plans to make Tramonto Vista a passive park, and to incorporate more family-friendly .active features into its design." Other representatives ex- pressing that general view in the formal presentation were Michelle Ryan, Larry Mc- Laren and Michelle Ross- Litzler. They were ,supported by a large and enthusiastic group of audience members from various age groups and walks of life. Back to original? Tramonto Vista. is the name adopted by the city for the park which will eventually be developed at the site of the old island wastewater treat- ment plant on Harbor Drive, just south of Sharky's Restaurant. Council member Vicki Taylor asked the group's rep- resentatives to be more spe- cific about the features they wanted to see added. "We didn't want to over- whelm you," said Ryan, "but we would ask you to consider some kind of music venue, a water feature, a volleyball court, playground equip- ment, and a bike or walking path. All of those things would be more inviting to young families and youth." City Manager Marty Black pointed out that all of those; features had been in the orig- inal design in some form, but: had been deleted by council: several months ago, after: hearing strong public senti- ments favoring a more "pas-: sive" facility at that location. Based on the public input at; that time, it was concluded; that the majority ofVenice cit-; izens wanted that area to: remain more natural and less; developed. "Where were you back, then," asked one of the coun-; cil members, "when we were; seeking public comment and; participation ?" Their response was that,' because they had to work; during the day, attending the, afternoon council meetings; was not a luxury most of them; could afford. In addition, they! did not then have the benefits of being an organized group? which could get the informa-, tion on such meetings out to; those concerned. Council willing "I would be in favor of bringing back the original staff recommendation for dis- cussion," said council mem- ber John Simmonds. "This is another example of why we need to consider having at least one of our meetings each month in the evening- so working people can attend." "If you just want to discuss going back to the original plan," said Mayor Fred Hammett,. "we can do that at our next meeting. But if you want something beyond that, such. as a waterslide which would involve redesigning utilities and parking, we would have to go clear back to the design phase. That would take much longer.". "We must also be aware," said council member John Moore, "that the costs of material and labor are con- Please see VISTA, 5A THIS EDITION OUR TOWN 1i1B Fear factor feeds loosely knit gangs President Bush back in Sarasota BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER Harvest Time It's Halloween and we're in our gourds.

They're forming their own gangs to fight back. That is the chilling reality, officers explained to an audi- ence of more than 100 par- ents, students and concerned citizens Monday evening at a Venice High gang recognition presentation. "This isn't even the tip of the iceberg," Sarasota Police Officer K. Swatts told the audience. "The kids who are bullied are, either strong and take it, or they join the gang out of fear, or make their own gangs to protect themselves. That's what we see happen- ing." Sarasota County's gang unit and school resource offi- cers (police officers on school campuses) were on hand to make presentations and answer questions.

Voters in those counties can vote in these races. Rochelle T. Curley, 41, is a native of Fayetteville, N.C. In private practice, she handles primarily personal injury, automobile accidents and injury cases at the Shapiro, Goldman and Babboni law firm in Sarasota. She is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, and George, Phillips vie for hospital, board STAFF REPORT Either North Port or Englewood will be the home of the next Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board Southern District Seat 1 member Democrat Sam George of North Port and Republican Jerry Phillips of Englewood are the contestants to repre- sent South County on the board. George, 68, who moved to the area about two years ago, has a background in health care. He has a bachelor's degree in professional studies with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry and mar- keting. He also has a master's degree in community health and completed a 35-hour post-graduate program in .'pharmaceutical-related courses. He served as a corpsman in the U.S. Navy and later went to work in the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of sales, training, management, inter- national training and medical education. He won numerous industry awards.

Phillips, 62 and a former SMH board member, bested Lynda Cassan, a former SMH employee, to claim the Republican nomination for Seat 1.

His wife has been a nurse for 35 years and works at at Venice Health Park Outpatient Surgery Center in Venice. He has lived in Englewood for 30 years.

Ricky Beasley shared his experience with gang-related activity in South Venice Monday evening at Venice High. Swatts said. They have names and signs and are involved mostly in fighting and petty vandalism, she.said. It's a concern for residents because gang activity is on the rise in Sarasota County - to the point where estab- lished gangs are recruiting middle and elementary school students, even in South County. Law enforcement even has its own terminology for gang culture. Eight- to 10-year-olds who are born into gangs are classified as "Could Bes," while 10-13 year-olds who run in the same circles are considered "Gonna Bes." Members and "associates" are 14-17 years old, while older, hard-core members have typ- ically done time. They gave the statutory definition of a gang as three or more people who get together, two of whom com- mit crimes. Swatts distinguished between tagging (big, round type, artistic graffiti) by non- gang members and gang graf- fiti (block, Old English-style lettering). "If you have these symbols on your street signs, fences or buildings then you have a gang. If the graffiti is crossed out and has other graffiti over it, then you have two gangs," she said. Beating around the bush "Kids who join gangs are misguided and have nobody to bond with," explained Sarasota County Schools Capt. Mike Pelfrey. "They're groups of youth who've bond- ed together." He dismisses attempts to sugar-coat gang activity in the Venice area. Some of the known Greater Venice gangs have not yet committed criminal acts, he said,-but others have been known to victimize the elder- ly or commit street vandal- ism. "If you're a 'wanna-be,' you're gonna be a gang mem- ber," Pelfrey said. "Sometimes we beat around the bush too much" when it comes to identifying gang activity," he said. Bigger concerns ,'Law enforcement officials reviewed activity by the two leading North County gangs and how to identify gang members and paraphernalia. They asked the media not give the gangs recognition by publishing their names or symbols. The bigger concern, they said, is the more dangerous northern gangs are making in-roads into Sarasota County. They described how mem- bers are jumped in, blessed in, sexed in or required to commit illegal acts as initia- tion rites. Sarasota County experi- enced only two gang-related murders in the last five years, in 2001 and 2005, said Swatts, but interest is growing. Last year well over 100 cases of gang-related graffiti were documented within city of Sarasota limits, 20 miles north of Venice. "Sarasota ,is getting creamed right now (with graf- fiti)," Swatts said, and it's moving down south. Cape Coral, 44 miles south of Venice, saw two gang-relat- ed murders a week ago when two individuals were assault- ed and tortured, then driven to a remote location and set on fire. , "If you ignore it gangs will, start rising because we didn't do anything about it," Swatts said. The presentation was taped by Sarasota County School Board and will air on Channel 20 at a future date. You can e-mail Greg Giles at: ggiles@venice- gondolier.com. WHAT YOU CAN DO: * Recognize the signs. Look for colors or the lack of certain colors (typically blue or red) in your child's wardrobe; belts, hats or T-shirts inscribed with letters, numbers or religious symbols; use of hand sig- nals. * Keep an open mind. Even though it may walk, talk and look like a duck, it may not be a duck, say authorities. It's counter-intuitive, but SROs say you can't tell by gang clothing if someone is in a gang. It's illegal activity that separates the wanna-bes and look-alikes from traditional gangs. Some kids wear gang colors as a fashion statement. Look past the clothing for further evidence. * Snoop. Know your child's MySpace.com account password and be sure to surf all his or her links and review the material on them. You're the parent. It's your responsibility to know what your child's involved in. * Read music lyrics. Law enforcement criticized media and business outlets that pander to gangs and fuel the culture especially the music/video industry. You can read the lyrics of gang rap and other music by searching lyrics.com. Just type in the band and song name. You'll be surprised by what you see. - Let someone know. Call your nearest school resource officer or police department with any informa- tion you may have about suspected gang activity. It could be useful to law enforcement. Remember, it only takes one suspicious citing by a credible member of the public to trigger the tracking of a sus- pected gang member. Call (941) 366-TIPS or your local public school and ask for the SRO. VISTA fiom page A stantly increasing the longer we wait to move ahead on the project, the more expensive it's going to be." The group was encouraged to meet with Director of Public Works Larry Heath as soon as possible to review the actual original design plan. They need to understand what options would still be possible to propose within those parameters. Council unanimously agreed to entertain a subse- quent review and discussion of that original draft, possibly as early as their next meeting on November 14, with the understanding that citizens with opinions from both sides of the issue would be heard. VAN fror page 1 A ingenious on the road when you don't have much money." Thanks to the Greens, the two have earned enough for their trip back to Oregon. Locally, they got part-time work in construction as well as at the Greens' Harmony House restaurant. "When the boys said they were going up North, I reminded them it would be very cold sleeping in the van on the way back to Portland," Dave Green said. However, the cold won't deter the boys. "The great thing about a long road trip is you can meet some really cool people on the way," Rozsa said. The van has led them to a few adventures in Venice, too. They were asked to partici- pate in a Venice High School parade, sing folk music at Harmony House and ride in the Sun Fiesta parade. "Venice is a quiet little town, and I will be sad to leave," Moorsehead said. Still, they will take a bit of Venice with them when they go a Mexican blanket from a Miani, Avenue resale shop and a few original Grateful Dead T-shirts found under an abandoned van in Osprey. "Everyone has been so great to us here," Mooreshead said. "Even the owner of the German Car Center of Venice fixed our van for free because he wanted to make sure it was safe enough for our trip." Both boys see college in their future, but for now they are content to learn their lessons from life. You can e-mail Susan Cairo at scairo@venice- gondolier.com. If Fashion Is Your Passion...

That happened this year when the field of four that sought the newly created Group 21 seat on the 12th Judicial Circuit bench was narrowed to two by the September nonparti- san primary. Private attorneys Preston DeVilbiss, the former county court judge we endorsed, and Rochelle Taylor Curley were the top two vote- getters, and deservedly so. They face each other in a run-off for the position. We think either candidate would be a valu- able addition to the bench, preferring DeVilbiss only for his prior judicial experi- ence. DeVilbiss has handled thousands of cases of all types in his many years as lawyer and judge. He was a good judge before and we think he has learned a lot from his return to private practice and his efforts to get back on the bench. Curley was an assistant state attorney for about eight years before leaving to enter pri- vate practice and get civil law experience with the ultimate goal of a judgeship. She was very impressive, and we hope she throws her hat into the ring again soon. We recommend Preston DeVilbiss for Circuit Judge Group 22. Hospital Board Republican Jerry Phillips of Englewood and Democrat Sam George of North Port are the candidates for Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board Southern District Seat 1. (In the interest of full disclosure, Phillips writes a wine column for our Let's Go! section; that isn't a factor in our recommendation.) Phillips, a real estate appraiser, served on the board from 1994 to 1998. The move for more outpatient services and facilities accel- erated then, which got the hospital more competitive, but it was also the beginning of the reimbursement problems that plague the hospital today, many of which are outside of its control. George has a strong health-care back- ground and contacts in the industry that could broaden the hospital's resources. We firmly believe that no matter how well you do something, somebody, somewhere is probably doing it better, and George likely knows some of those people. We think he has the potential to be a capable member. We give the nod to Phillips, however, because in our interview with George he came off as a bit too eager to push a relation- ship between North Port and the hospital. North Port is certainly in need of additional medical facilities and personnel, but we think it could be a mistake for the city to put all its eggs in the SMH basket, which is what George seems to want to do. HMA won a certificate of need for a hos- pital a couple of years ago but lost it after an administrative proceeding. With North Port situated in the middle of several HMA facilities, the company might still be inter- ested. It's too big an issue to foreclose any options. George's boosterism also makes us uneasy that he might pull his punches when criti- cism of a hospital action is warranted, out of. concern North Port might suffer for it. Phillips has board experience, deeper ties to the area and expertise in land matters (he's also educated as a lawyer). We recommend Jerry Phillips for Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board Southern District Seat. City water hit the spot ?

Rather than being, the same oald natural spritgwaterthis is much better, "cleansed by our state-of-the-art reverse osmosis technology." It tasted like water to me, and on a hot day it hit the spot. You should try some - good stuff. The YMCA's new 55,000- square-foot addition is mov- ing along nicely and is still planned to be open in January maybe, could be before. Mike Miller and the folks at Waterford have really stuck to their timetable. This will really be a fabu- lous facility, including indoor racquetball courts, which we haven't had for a long time around here. It will have a huge wellness area with a lot of new equipment and a TV at each station, too. The "'spinning" room, which we now have in an area that resembles a walk-in clos- et, will have new bikes. The old bikes likely will go to be part of a unique program with free motion, which is muscle toning. There will be an area for rehab and a wonderful spa and massage area. Doesn't that sound good? The old building will house Big Brothers Big Sisters, the American Cancer Society and Sertoma's Speech Clinic. The Y is truly trying to build part- nerships in the community. By's Crack The state department has just given asylum to a man seeking political freedom: He is a Republican from Chicago. When Sue and I were in Naples (Collier County) for the christening of our new grandson, a birthday party for our 4-year-old granddaughter and a convention, we noticed a couple of things we would love to have here. First, there are four north- south roads, most or them six lanes. However, getting to those on 1-75 from Im- mokalee and other areas north where the workers live is a mess, somewhat like what has developed here. We also liked signs that announce what the next street is. This makes it so much easier to keep your proper speed as you try to find your way. I hope by the timeyou read this the girls volleyball has won the first round of region- al competition and the girls golf team is on its way to a top finish in the state. The Sun Fiesta, put on by Women's Sertoma, was a huge success, raising well .more than $30,000 for charities in our area and scholarships for women striving to better. themselves. I was surprised, however, that the parade was the poor- est-attended parade I can remember. Some thought it was the hot weather, others that there was only one band and a couple of floats. It may have been the grand marshal. The rest of the event was packed with people and a big success, from what I could see. Even Friday night was a big draw. The bed race drew nine entries, which was a record. That event is a real hoot. The Gondolier Sun team won best theme, as the members in their'60s' and 70s' outfits were really fun. The bragging rights for the fastest bed in town belongs to the Sertoma Club ofVenice. Today's Ism (Paul Keating said this about someone; I can relate it to someone around here): "He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." The Gondolier Sun is hav- ing the fun Golden Broom contest again this year, with the coveted award given to- the group that dresses up best for Halloween. You not only win a home- made plague suitable for hanging, it gives you bragging rights and your picture in the paper. On Tuesday, Oct. 31, Halloween, we would like your group (small or large) to come to the Gondolier Sun building to get your picture taken. Call Editor Bob Mudge, 207-1101, if you can't break away and we will try to come out to get your photo no guarantee on that, but you could take one and e-mail it to us, too. Then plan to take your kids to the Lions Club/Venice MainStreet parade and trick- or-treating downtown. Line up at 3:30 p.m., march at 4 and then hit the shops for candy. Have fun. Another great Halloween tradition is the Nokomis Fire Please see VEDDER, 7A Who are they answerable to? Editor: Last month I sent a few e-mails and two letters to the school board. Not hearing anything, I wrote Sheila Weiss, communi- cations and community relations supervisor, and asked her what she would recommend I do to receive answers. This is the response I received on Oct. 4 from Ms. Weiss: "I received your letter asking me what I recommend you do to obtain an answer to your questions from the school board. You may not realize it, but elected officials do not have to respond to a citizen's letters/e-mails. The school district must respond to public information requests, but only for docu- ments, reports, etc., that we produce. This does not include opinions." I don't recall these "officials" saying this when they were run- ning for office. Could this apply to all our elected representa- tives in a government by and for the people? Once elected, they dofft have to respond to constituents, the taxpayers who pay their nice salaries and benefits? Or do they pick and choose those they may want to respond to? What about the press? Did somebody say reforms are needed in this school dis- trict? Did somebody say better communications must take place to foster better community-taxpayer relations? In light of all that has taken place recently in regard to this school district while recalling all the campaign promises, maybe all we can expect insofar as reforms would be the old saying, "the more things change, the more things stay the same." Norman Lupo Venice Ready to sign on with CQG Editor: C.J. Fishman, chairman of Citizens for Quality Gov- ernment, stated in 2005 that his organization takes no stand on any issues. Yet this year the CQG moved its annual meeting back one days it could have it on the day before the Sarasota County Commission held its notorious meeting on whether to put a rezoning and annexation amendment on the ballot. I have no problem with the CQG taking a stand on issues. Where I take exception is in Fishman's constant fictional statements about what the CQG does and doesn't do like his recently published letter, in which he stated the CQG does- n't dominate city politics. I've been watching politics closely in this town for the last six years. For Fishman to -say his organization doesn't dom- inate Venice politics is ludi- crous. Fishman stated in.his letter that anyone could join the CQG. So after talking with Sue Lang and Herb Levine, I gave Fishman a call and left a mes- sage on his answering ma- chine. I told him that all three of us wanted to join and that this was not a crank call. The three of us were and are serious where's the application? As long as the membership fees aren't out- rageous we'll all join. I've called and left mes- sages for Fishman almost half a dozen times over the past two years or so, even stopped by his office, and not once has he ever returned my call. Guess what? He didn't return this one, either. John Patten, www.venfl.com Finds hope for the youth of tomorrow Editor: Recently I have noticed the many pictures in the sports section of the paper showing young men receiving various kinds of awards. What struck me as I read the articles and studied the pictures was a realization that I was seeing a group of fine- looking young men. Each was dressed neatly in a shirt and tie. Their hair was cut in a pro- fessional style, which was quite becoming of a young man ready to strike out on his own in the world of business. It was reassuring to see that there are many young people who still take pride in the way they present them- selves. Young people mani- festing a. smile of self-confi- dence give me hope that all is not lost after all. Rememberingthat the youth are our future and seeing pic- tures such as you've shown recently, reaffirms this expecta- tion of our young people. Thank you for caring enough to show the youth of our community at its best. Jane Rice Venice Conservatives? Don't think so Editor: Recently a columnist referred to "the conservative group" in Washington who are running things. Either he was ignoring the facts or he was trying to distort conserv- ative principles. Many people, at all levels, call themselves conservatives but act and vote like liberals. In this time of more spending, more waste, more taxes, more wars, more government, more regulation and more promises and talking, no one can call it conservative. Common sense and hon- esty are lost in governments that are out of our control. John W. Lewis Venice VENICE GONDOLIER SUN 7A kA,/rvkipcr~nv fCT 19s.lfle AIAWWW.VENICEGOANDOLIER.COM Charter changes best left unmade vs ED MARTIN There are four proposed Venice charter questions on the ballot. Here is how I see them. First, as a citizen, I want to thank the citizens who served on the charter review com- mittee: Greg Roberts, chair; Jim Leis, Diana Miers, Greg Shanika and Jean Trammell. Their meetings often did not attract many participants or observers, but it.was through no fault of theirs. Despite my appreciation for their efforts, I think "No" is the way to vote on. all four, although some are more strongly felt than others. Question (Amendment) 1 would eliminate the require- ment that the city manager obtain the advice and con- sent of city council in order to suspend or remove the fire chief and police chief. On the "pro" side, the city manager certainly is the key player in hiring and supervis- ing those officials, so one could say let him dismiss them as well. I suggest "No" because I believe in checks and bal- ances in government leg- islative, executive and judi- cial. The city manager is exec- utive. The council is legisla- tive elected and therefore responsible to the voters. As one who has worked for and served on boards and for a congressional committee, it seems unlikely that any city manager or CEO would fire such people without being sure his or her bosses agree. Therefore, this amendment is essentially moot but symboli- cally increases the city man- ager's power, a centralization not necessary or desirable. Amendment 2 would weaken the position of finance director from a char- ter officer serving at the plea- sure of council (as do the city clerk, attorney and manager) to a department head super- vised by the city manager. Council member John Moore does not favor this change and my conversation with him some time ago leads me to believe it is because of his recognition of the value of checks and balances. Moore was a judge and' had more opportunity to appreciate that issue than other council or committee members. The amendment would also eliminate the list of the duties of the finance director -'a list that now clearly indi- cates the director's role. Greg Shanika reluctantly gave up his opposition to this amend- ment, seemingly to achieve a consensus, an understand- able' but perhaps "too nice" decision. Corporate America is going in the opposite direc- tion' from this amendment. The law and practice is to reduce undue influence on the chief financial officers and auditors by the CEO. Auditors now report to the boards that represent share- holders and the law holds board members responsible for accurate financial presen- stations. Finally, I have spoken with the present and past finance directors, and neither wanted to inject himself into the political decision. Both said they thought either system could work. I had the distinct feeling - my interpretation that the past director felt there were times when his indepen- dence kept a. previous city manager from actions he did not feel would have been appropriate. A good city manager can be followed by a poor one; we have seen both here. Charter officer status offers checks and balances and stability. Question 3 provides that when filling a vacancy in the office of mayor, the person elected shall fill a three-year term. The present charter calls for an election to finish the term of the prior mayor. Fred Hammett, serving as mayor because Dean Calamaras resigned, was unopposed and will serve until next Nov- ember, when he can run for a three-year term. The "pro" on this issue is that if the interim mayor could. be elected for three years in the first place, it would save an election cam- paign after one year. At first I thought this might be reasonable, but there is really nothing lost by the one- year election. In fact, it gives the public a chance to see how the mayor performs; then, if he or she runs for a three-year term, the voters have a track record to evalu- ate. At present, for example, Mayor Hammett has never won a contested election. He lost a council race, was appointed to council to fill a vacancy, was appointed inter- im mayor and ran unop- posed. Let's see how he does. Question 4 is perhaps the easiest "No." It continues a three consecutive terms (a maximum of nine years) limit as mayor or council member. After 'sitting out a year a per- son can run again. The joker in this amend- ment is that a mayor can run immediately for council or vice versa, so the same person could be in office 18 years without a break. I would say, "Give me a break." Eighteen years is too much for anyone to be in office. An argument can be that the voters have to elect this person. If the playing field was level, that might be rea- sonable but the playing field is not level. Just say "No" again.

In taking my walker for a walk, a police car pulled up beside me on Capri and wanted to know if I was OK I said yes, I'm just out for my walk. In questioning me, the officer wanted my name and where I lived, and I asked him why he was questioning me. He said someone called and thought I was having a problem. One of my angels was looking out after me, I know. I think they saw me on the bench resting and thought I was ill. And then I asked him if I was going to get a ticket for going too fast or too slow. I don't think he really appreciat- ed my sense of humor. But this is in regards to saying thanks. There are many good people in Venice and also the police department. I'm OK and I real-' ly appreciate the people that called, and I've had other peo-, ple stop and ask me if I'm OK, which I'm very grateful to the Lord that, yes, people are look- ing out. So, God bless. No-win situation. I was call- ing about the recent drop in oil prices and prices at the pump. Now I hear that the American oil producers and OPEC are going to cut production because there is a surplus of gasoline. So what does that tell me? What does that tell any- body who took Economics 101? That tells me that no mat- ter what, as long as we depend on our enemies for fuel, the price is always going to stay up. When is this arrogant country going to learn? If everyone in this country had a hybrid and everyone was getting excellent gas mileage, they wbuld have cut production to a fraction of what it is right now. The gas would be $9.a gallon. We will never win as long aswe depend on our enemies for fuel. When will our arrogant leaders learn? LET 'EM HAVE IT The Let erm Have It line allows readers to sound off on issues of local interest.

Vtit-t kAMNULIL1 iG EEC BY STEVENJ. SMITH STAFF WRITER One plan has struck out, but another is swinging for the fences. Discussions over the week- end between representatives from the Cincinnati Reds and ^ the Sarasota Agricultural Fair ' Association failed to result in [ a plan to solve their acreage issues, according to Jeff , Maultsby, Reds director of Florida operations. Of the 100 acres available : at the fairgrounds on L Fruitville Road in Sarasota, r the Reds said they needed 50 for their new spring training facility. The fair association needed 40 acres, while an additional 30 was needed for parking. Last Friday, fair association president Rory Martin was urged by a committee of Sarasota city, county and Reds officials to look into ways the fair might give up some acreage to make the deal happen. By Monday, hopes for that prospect had dimmed, Maultsby said. Unbowed, the committee headed by Sarasota City Commissioner Lou Ann Palmer and County Com- missioner Shannon Staub immediately plunged into exploring other options. They came up with two. The first option was to build a new stadium at 12th Street and Tuttle Avenue, across from the current Ed Smith Stadium. The second was to demolish and rebuild Ed Smith Stadium on the same site, but reposition it to better maximize the land it sits on. "I think the group's No. 1 scenario at this point would - be to keep old Ed and build new Ed across 12th Street," Staub said. Blessing? Staub added that losing the fairgrounds as a potential site for the new stadium might be something of a blessing in disguise. She said the armory, the driver license facility and the Babe Ruth complex would all require relocation. Between the logistics of dealing with those groups and all the costs the county would have to shoulder, Staub added, the other options looked a lot more attractive. The new site also could accommodate hotel, retail and restaurants, Staub said, adding that the Reds have expressed a great interest in those pluses. Many residents in the area also have expressed their approval of the idea. "This scenario, if we could do it keep old Ed and put new Ed across 12th Street - the neighbors would not be impacted at all," Staub said. Staff will spend this week looking into taking the neces- sary steps to make this idea a reality. For example, to avoid a potential conflict with the Reds' schedule, the Ringling Redskins youth football league might need to be relo- cated to another site at the Newtown Estates, where the land is publicly owned. "Next week when we meet, if we find the Newtown site can take the Ringling Redskins and we have a ball- park figure, then we're off and running," Staub said. You can e-mail Steven J.

The main thing Venice and North Port have feared since Sarasota County asked for a moratorium on annexation was that the county wanted the power to veto municipal planning decisions. But the veto's off the table for now. That was the major piece of information that came out of Monday's meeting between county staff and city representatives. LarryArnold, county direc- tor of community services and special projects, is work- ing with North Port. He said the real reason for the coun- ty's concern wasn't an issue of control. Rather, it's to make sure there. is "sustainability" - ensuring there is enough transportation, water and sewer service and funding for all necessary aspects when an annexation occurs. "The county wants to know what the cities are going to do in the future," he said. "So if the cities want to annex an area, the county can look at it early. If we continue to develop' in the way we have been for the past decade, it won't work, because that's basically urban sprawl." Arnold said that when sprawl happens, communi- ties are too oil- and: trans- portation-dependent, the environment is harmed and people become isolated and have less civic involvement. The county's stance is that the location, intensity, type and timing of development must be shared in order to avoid duplication, and so municipalities can share ser- vices. "We have to work regional- ly," Arnold continued. "We need to work for a common objective and for a common goal." BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN CORRESPONDENT Progress North Port City Manager Steve Crowell thought Monday's meeting was "a pro- ductive discussion." "There was a lot of infor- mation shared," he said. "Some progress was made. The big thing is that the veto's off, and that helped identify what the issues are." Venice City Manager Marty Black said he thought the city and county made "substantial progress" in Monday's meet- ing, further defining the geo- graphical boundary within which Venice would consider annexation petitions. "We're saying we wouldn't consider areas beyond that," he said. "That's not to say those areas would come in." The two entities also agreed they would talk about who should provide services where, not just based on city boundaries. The county gave a firm commitment to pro-1 viding water and sewer ser- vices to Nokomis and South Venice, which Black said would allow Venice to com- plement the county's efforts instead of competing with them. "I remain very optimistic," he said. . Representatives from both North Port and Venice will meet with county officials beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday at the Venice Community Center for fur- ther discussion.

LASSIF IED enice Gondolier Sun To Advertise call 207-1200 Sarasota County Com- missioners ratified contracts with two nonprofit land acquisition and management organizations uesday. The Sarasota Conservation Foundation in Osprey and the Trust for Public Land, a nation- al organization with headquar- ters in San Francisco were awarded three-year contracts to serve as the county's agent in acquiring land for n6ighbor- hood parks and preservation. The contracts are for $1.5 mil- lion for each. The two were selected from among five organiza- tions that responded to a request for proposal in September, when the six-year contract with The Nature Conservancy expired. TNC opted not to submit apropos- al, but some of its staff is expected to work with the foundation as subcontrac- tors. Acquisition of land to be preserved will be the focus of the foundation. The trust will focus on acquiring parkland.

Creation of neighborhood parks was added by the refer- endum to the earlier pro- gram. It has intensified acqui- sition activity in the county. Up the creeks The process is lengthy and complicated. Nomination of a prospec- tive site is the first step. Next, one of the agents contacts the landowner. Two independent appraisers are then engaged to negotiate a price after the site has been thoroughly investigated by surveyors and other land specialists. If negotiations are success- ful, the agent and the owner will sign an option agreement to buy. When county staff and the agent agree that all crite- ria have been met, the pro- posed acquisition is forward- ed to the commissioners. Including negotiations, the due diligence process con- sumes about eight weeks.

It was windy. The Venice High girls golf team responded in a big way on the first day of the Class 2A State Finals at The Saints Golf Course in Port St. Lucie. The Lady Indians sit in sec- ond place at the halfway point, getting outstanding performances front three girls - Megan Clipse, Casey Kennedy and Crystal Smith. After day one, Venice had a team score of 313. Defending state champion Lake Howell was leading with a scintillat- ing 297. Lake Mary was sitting in third at 316. There are 16 schools competing in the tournament. "We did very well," said Lady Indian coach Larry Sandburg. "The wind was tough more than 20 miles per hour. On the back side, it really started kicking." Clipse, the senior captain, had the best 18 hole score of her career with a 75. "She putted very well," Sandburg said. "She had three or four birdies." The Lady Indians' pair of super sophomores - Kennedy and Smith also carded 75s. Venice's fourth score came from Casey's older sister Katie, who scored an 88. She is a junior. The fifth VHS golfer, Helene Gagliardi, came in with a 95. "She actually didn't play that bad," Sandburg said. "She had three birdies. The sand traps killed her." Action continues Wednesday morning at The Saints. The Venice girls begin teeing off at 9:30 a.m. "I hope we can keep it up," Sandburg said. "The effort has been phenomenal. :If we get beat, we'll get beat on tal- ent, not effort." The Venice girls qualified for the State Finals by win- ning the Region Tournament in Bradenton. The Lady Indians qualified for the. regional by winning the District Tournament the week prior in Deep Creek. This is the second straight year at the State Finals for the VHS girls. Last year they placed seventh out of 16 in Vero Beach. SUN PHOTO BY JEFF TAVARES Katie Kennedy lines up her iron shot Tuesday at The Saints Golf Course in Port St. Lucie.

Halbert wants another title BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR Nickie Halbert and the Venice High volleyballers have a little something to prove this season. Led by Class 5A Player of the Year Dana Dumas last year, the Lady Indians buzzed to the State Championship. Dumas is -now playing at Georgetown, leaving the rest of the girls to defend. "Last year, all we heard was Dana carrying our team," said Halbert, a junior All-State set- ter. "They said we were a one player team. We have to prove it wasn't a fluke." Venice has done a pretty good job doing that so far. The Lady Indians are ranked No. 3 in 5A and will take a fine 25-4 record .into Saturday's regional semifinal against Plant High. To get back to The Lakeland Center for the state semifinals and finals will take above and beyond the call of duty for all the Lady Indians, however. "We'll have to fight and work for it," Halbert said. "We did well in the district tourna- ment. We were focused. We set a goal and we accom- plished it. Now we have to do it for regionals." The biggest match of the season is at hand against Plant, the top ranked school in 5A. The region semifinal will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Teepee. Venice lost to Plant in three straight games a few weeks ago in the finals of the Tampa bay Invitational. "That tournament, the way we Halbert b playing as a team. I thought back to last year." Venice lost to Plant in a tournament in 2005 but came back to upset the in five games in the region semifinal played in Tampa. Halbert is happy this year's rematch will be played in Venice. lost to Plant in a "The whole community will be there watching us," she said. "They mean soa much to us. We try to zone them out and concentrate during the match, but we know they're there." Halbert believes this team is even closer than last year's. "We're all together every day," she said. "There is a lot of bonding. We have sleep- overs. We just stayed at Taylor Capasso's house. She lives near coach (Brian) Wheatley. We toilet papered his house. Later in the night, coach Wheatleycame backoverand toilet papered our cars."y toilet papered our cars." The whole team is on the same page. The players all get along. They're all good stu- dents and try to be the best they can be. "Coach Wheatley stresses the three Cs classroom, community and court," Halbert said. Halbert has worked hard to continue improving her game. "Dana leaving made me more consistent," Halbert said. "With new hitters, I have to concentrate more on what they need. My footwork is better." Hopefully, it will all add up to another trip to Lakeland. VENICE HIGH SCHOOL'S I~ W :.. Boca .Ciega High has had ;some good football team. over the years, but volleyball has never been the St. Petersburg school's forte. This year was only the sec- ond time the Lady Pirates have made the regional tour- nament in volleyball. Venice was only too happy to close the door on "Bogie's" season. The Lady Indians, ranked No. 3 in Class 5A, swept the star-struck Lady Pirates, 25-6, 25-16, 25-14, Tuesday night at the Teepee. "We haven't been to the regional in 10 to 12 years," said Boca Ciega coach Lissa Bartle. "Our girls got a chance to see what it's all about. We watched them and saw what a state caliber team does." Venice (25-4) advances to the region semifinals against No. 1 ranked Tampa-Plant. The match will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at 1 Indian Ave. Venice lost to Plant earlier in the season in the finals of the Tampa Bay Invitational. Touted Plant (24-2) moved to the semifinals via a 25-20, 25-18,25-17 victory over Palm Harbor University. Venice drained any sus- pense early in Tuesday's match, jumping out to an 11- 0 victory over Boca Ciega (11- 14) in the first game. Dorothy Rahal was at the service stripe during the run. Kaylee Ream had a couple of big kills along with Casev Taylor. Ream and Nickie-'Halbert also had big service runs i game one. Outside hitter Natalie Gaudreau got her kill swing warmed up, and it was lights out for the Lady Pirates. Game two saw Gaudreau fire up for five more kills. Middle hitter Ashley Graf then got into the act at the net with a couple of spikes. Venice's other middle - Casie Richards got into the flow in game three. Gaudreau finished with nine kills. Graf had four and Ream three. Ream, Halbert and Rahal finished with five service aces apiece. On the down side, Venice was a bit sloppy with 13 ser- vice errors. However, Boca Ciega had even more. "I lost count after a while," Bartle said. "It was nerves. Five of our players are under- classmen. I hope they learn from this. We'll also get our 6- 3 hitter back." Venice seniors Gaudreau and Graf don't have the luxury of waiting until next year. Now is the time. There will be a special tail- gate party beginning at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot outside the north gym. There will be food and drink. Athlete of the Week Sophomore Casey Kennedy was the medalist at the Class 2A Region 5 tournament played last week at the Manatee County Course.

VENICE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER is ti. 4 f- f everyone were to give less than an hour of their time donating blood three times a year, there would be no blood shortages. The need for blood is at an all- time high due to medical advances and the fact that people are living longer,'and. there's even more of a shortage in our area due to the population growth. Unfortunately, of the approximately 60 percent of people eligible to donate blood. statistics show that only five percent do. In less than an hour, people can donate a unit of blood and save the lives of three people. SAFETY CONCFRNAS If you have concerns about the safety of blood supplies or about giving blood, rest assured there are many safeguards in place. Blood supplies are carefully screened and scrutinized. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers blood a "biologic" (similar to a drug) and closely regulates it to ensure safety of the supply. The American Association of Blood Banks also publishes strict guidelines for safe transfusions, which its members must follow. Every pint of blood collected by Florida's Blood Centers undergoes 18 hours of processing, testing and labeling. Each pint goes through 12 screening tests before being transfused. *All potential donors are given an opportunity to indicate if their blood may be unsafe for any reason, and previous donation records and lists of ineligible donors are checked. Lab tests identify, blood that might transmit diseases. People are not allowed to donate blood if their lab rests or questionnaires reveal they may be at high risk for certain diseases. *Only sterile equipment is used. The needle used to draw blood from your vein has never been used before, and it is thrown away right after it is used. Donors cannot get hepatitis, AIDS, or other infections or diseases from giving blood. Reactions * from donating are rare and are minor when they do happen. If you are healthy, weigh at least 110 pounds and are older than 17, you can donate a unit of blood without harm. A unit is a very small part of your total blood volume, and your body replaces the lost fluid within a day. Your bone marrow replaces all of the blood cells within two weeks. * 'X.'v J 'nF i l'l .i i People donate blood for different reasons some do it for friends, family members, or even themselves. Others volunteer to help people they don't even know. There are close to a dozen types of patients that have a dire need for blood including: accident victims. cancer patients, open heart surgery patients, burn victims, liver transplant patients, hip or knee replacement patients, premature babies and those suffering from complications of Sickle-cell anemia. Consider giving this important gift of life and help our community overcome blood shortages. Call the Florida's Blood Center-Venice at 492-9202 or stop by the center located at 333 S. Tamiami Trail, Suite 169, Venice, Florida. 6 .6 --itBIG BLOOD DONATION FACTS *Your one unit of blood donation can save the lives of up to three people in your community. Every three seconds an American needs a pint of blood. *Approximately 60o of the population is eligible to donate blood, but only 500 do. You can donate blood even' eight weeks up to six times a year. Donating blood takes less than an hour and in that time, you could be saving three lives. *If everyone committed to donating ' blood three times a year, there would be no blood shortages. Your blood donation is usually transfused to a patient within -2 hours. Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets only five days The blood supply needs to be constantly replenished. *Our community blood supply is severely reduced due to population growth, longer life spans and advances in medicine. *At least 60"u of Sarasota Counnr's population will need blood at some point in their lives. Florida's Blood Center-Venice is Venice's only blood center and the sole provider of blood and blood products to Venice Regional Medical Center. Donating blood is giving to life one of the most meaningful gifts of all. In addition to saving other's lives, you will personally benefit from donating blood in receiving a mini-physical. cholesterol screening, testing for infections, and the chance to relax for awhile!

Excessive spring rains caused many growers to replant. Despite their efforts, some pump- kins rotted in the fields while others succumbed to fungus. In other areas of the U.S., like Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina, pump- kins flourished. Still, local pumpkin festivals are in full swing- minus a few pump- kins. "We didn't get some of our nor- mal items," said Debra Belt, chair- woman of the Grace United Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch. "One thing we've always given the kids that come from the schools is \ a mini pumpkin to take home. \ We couldn't do that this year because the growing season wasn't good," she said. Ed Diefenbach, former co-chair with his oceeds wife Cherie, placed the pumpkin order with Patch, Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers. ly.

"They indicated everything was fine with the pumpkins," said Lt. Jon Fullerton. Mark Raye with Hunsader Farms of Bradenton said they had a great supply of pumpkins for the festival and corn maze thanks to Ranseyer Farms in Wooster, Ohio. "These are some of the nicest looking pumpkins we've had," Raye said. "Ranseyer obviously had a really good growing season." Raye said though they plant a few pumpkins to decorate their farm market, Florida really isn't a pumpkin-growing state. "It's too hot and too wer," he said. "Though we could use a little rain for the corn maze." So with just a week left before the "Great Pumpkin's" anticipated visit, local and area festivals are stocked with pumpkins for decorating, carv- ing and lighting in preparation for Halloween. illoween happenings .1 ~:, *~.

He carefully spelled his name, saying, "P as in pneumonia. W as in write. 0 as in oppossum, K as in knife." After that I knew how to spell his name perfectly.; This reminds me to men- tion that when I was in Boston I happened to see on television the National Spelling Bee. I was not pleased that the National Spelling included words in French. And not common ones we use, such as c'est le guerre. The winner won with a French word, as she studies French. There was one word in German. It was not the International Spelling Bee. I say, let all the words be English ones! There. I feel better now. I am not very good speller as I didn't pay attention in grammar school. I didn't like school until I arrived at col- lege and liked it so very much. But I didn't have a course in spelling in college. One day I hope to correct this. As someone who writes, one would think I would be a good speller. Of course, that might hurt the feelings of any editor who is forced to go over what I write as he or she might not be able to use a nice red pen if I spell every- thing correctly. And editors, I am told, like t9 use red pens. , (Or the computer equivalent. As I recently received an e'" mail in red (!), I presume any- thing is possible.) But spelling can be tricky. Do you put two "ll"s in travel if you have traveled very far? I IAll New SGalleria find schedule hard to remem- ber how to spell unless I pro- nounce as they do in England, which is "shed-u-l." That helps. The fact that we mispro- nounce words doesn't help. How often one hears Innernet and visitor. Then there is the horrible "gonna," which has almost replaced the phrase "going to," even by public speakers. I will admit that English, unlike Italian, is not a lan- guage where every word is pronounced as it is spelled. We have silent letters. We have soft and hard, as they are called, pronunciations for some letters. We just need to learn the rules. And to speak clearly, which while I'm going on I might as well mention that a trend of not speaking clearly has developed. Or loudly enough, especially on the telephone unless the per- son is on a cell phone in a public place. Spelling. One day I will make the time to improve mine. My father could spell any word. He often found mistakes in printed works. He enjoyed words, did crossword puzzles, read the dictionary for enjoyment and was sad- dened when the rules of English grammar were not followed. I once ask him where he learned all this. His answer: "The sisters taught me in grammar school." as U5Vat 'Rec Room iis AD Free Lunch & Dinner for Players on...

Family launches its homemade dream BY RITA JUHASZ SUN CORRESPONDENT Mike and Missy Lamb of Englewood had a dream inspired by a quote from Arch Davis: "Never to land on an island from a boat of one's own building is to miss one of life's great moments." What they thought would be a hobby became an obses- sion. And what they thought would take a year or so blos- somed into a four-year labor of love culminating in the christening of their 47-foot trawler, Makin' Bubbles, at the Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage facility on Gasparilla Road. Lovers of the sea and avid scuba divers, the Lambs and their two sons, Brett,'13, and Alex, 10, came up with the trawler's name together. Family and friends gathered for the event and the boys got permission to skip school. The trawler is made of fiberglass and plywood with a welded frame, ladder and div- ing platform with outriggers, or "flopper-stoppers," to help balance the boat. Lamb noted that his father, Chuck Lamb, did a lot of the welding of the rigging and railings. Up in the pilot house, a *small, black photo album chronicles the boat's con- struction history. One photo shows the plywood sides of the boat sitting on the frame. It was hard to tell it was actu- ally upside down until the next few photos showed the boat being turned right-side- up for completion. The entire project was done in, the Lambs' back yard on Fruitland Avenue in Englewood East. As one climbs down the slender and steep steps from topside, the galley and living room below echo the nautical theme with knotty pine and coiled-rope trim. Water collected from the roof of the boat travels through a pipe system. With the flip of a stopcock, the fresh water can fill the fresh- water tank in the floor of the boat or be discarded. The master bedroom snuggled into the lower stern has a large bed; hidden underneath it lies another interesting aspect of the ves- sel its rudder. No ordinary rudder, it's called a "clamshell" rudder or "Kitchen rudder" after its inventor. Oil's well Lamb gives his brother, Jim, full credit for the engi- neering feat required to build a boat from scratch. (Jim Lamb was in Italy and was unable to attend the launch- ing.) "He found the information on the Internet and did all the specs on a computer," Lamb said. During their research, the Lamb brothers discovered the specifications for a trawler built by a British naval admi- ral in the 1800s. Adm. Kitchen used the clamshell rudder to allow his boat to stop faster and turn 360 degrees in the water. . Makin' Bubbles' eight six- volt 'golf-cart batteries are charged by a generator or the boat's engine, a Cummins diesel. The gas tank holds 600 gallons of fuel, but Lamb has found a way to take the hurt out of filling it up. "I collect used cooking oil from restaurants, filter it and add kerosene. It runs me about a $1.25 per gallon," Lamb said. Soon after the American flag was raised on the ship's pole Brady Pocklington of Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage was harnessing Makin' Bubbles fore and aft. The wide straps were attached to a Marine Travelift, a four-wheeled steel frame with wheels used to transport ships from dry land to water for launching. The 37,000-pound trawler - "that's without beer, fuel or people," noted Lamb was hoisted into the air as the metal tripods that kept it upright on land were removed. Then Pocklington faced the boat and while walking backward started its forward motion with a remote-control device. As the giant Travelift inched forward, Makin' Bubbles swayed gently to and fro as if in no particular hurry to get to the water. But the anticipation was building in all who watched, as Pocklington deftly guided the boat to its destination. Proud As the trawler hovered over the dock, Mike and Missy stood at the bow with small cups of champagne in their hands under a bright sun with Mike's mother and father, Mary and Chuck, look- ing on. "It's been a long journey ... four years," Mike said, emo- tion welling in his eyes. "I want to thank everyone who helped us. I wish Jim were here." Then Missy, turning to,her husband with tears in her eyes, added "I'm really proud of him." (We're going to treat her well, and we hope she treats us well," said Lamb, before their family and friends splashed the bow with cham- pagne. Then the giant craft was lowered into the deep-green tourmaline water. The engine started to rumble, and in a few minutes the boat was backing up into the canal for its maiden voyage. Robbie Fehre and his sons, Robby and Tucker, shadowed the Makin' Bubbles as she coursed down the water, to be there in the event something would happen. But it was smooth sailing all the way. And now the Lambs can add a few more photos to their album. They plan to sail locally for awhile, then head for the Caribbean and Key West.

This classic Dave Barry column was originally published April 16, 1995. It's a gloriously sunny day in Miami, and I'm standing in a semicircle of maybe 500 people on a carpet of lush, sweet-smelling, green-glint- ing grass, the kind that makes you want to get naked and roll around on your back like a dog. But the people around me are not doing that. They're silent and solemn, like a church congregation, except that a lot of them are smoking cigars. They're staring intently at some tiny figures way off in the distance. I'm staring, too, but I can't quite make out what the figures are doing. Suddenly the crowd mur- murs, and 500 heads jerk sky- ward in unison. I still can't see anything. The crowd holds its breath, waiting, waiting, and then suddenly... PLOP ... a lit- tle white ball falls from the sky, lands in the middle of the semicircle and starts rolling. Immediately the crowd mem- bers are shouting at it angrily. "Bite!" they shout, spewing saliva and cigar flecks. "BITE!!" This is how they tell the ball they want it to stop rolling. The ball, apparently fear- ing for its life, stops. The crowd members applaud and cheer wildly. They're acting as though the arrival of this ball is the highlight df their lives. Which maybe it is. These are, after all, golf fans. And this ball was personally hit by prepare to experience a heart seizure JACK NICK- LAUS. This exciting moment in sports occurred at the Doral- Ryder Open golf tournament, an event on the professional golf tour, wherein the top golfers from all over the world gather together to see who can take the longest amount of time to actually hit the ball. I don't know about you, but when I play golf which I have done a total of three times in my life I don't waste a lot of time. I just grab a club, stride briskly to the ball, take a hearty swing, then check to see if the ball has -moved from its original loca- tion. If it hasn't, I take another hearty swing, repeating this process as necessary until the ball is ,gone, which is my cue to get out another ball, because I know from harsh experience that I will never in a million years find the first one. I keep this up until there are no balls left, which is my cue to locate the part of the golfing facility where they sell beer. In other words, I play an exciting, nonstop-action brand of golf that would be ideal for spectators, except that most of them would be killed within minutes. Your professional golfer, on the other hand, does not even THINK about hitting a ball until he has conducted a complete geological and meteorological survey of the situation, circling the ball warily, as though it were a ter- rorist device, checking it out from every possible angle, squatting and squinting, checking the wind, taking soil samples, analyzing satellite photographs, testing the area for traces of O.J. Simpson's DNA, etc. Your professional golfer takes longer to line up a six-foot putt than the Toyota corporation takes to turn raw iron ore into a Corolla. I know that it may sofnd boring to watch grown men squat for minutes on end, but when you see a pro tourna- ment in person when you're actually watching these world-class golfers line up their shots it is, in fact, UNBELIEVABLY boring. At least it was for me. I would rank it, as a spectator sport, with transmission repair. "HIT THE BALL, ALREADY!" is what I wanted to shout at Jack Nicklaus, but I did not, because the crowd would have turned on me, and my lifeless body would have been found later buried in a sand trap, covered with cigar burns, because these fans worship the golfers, and they seem to be truly fascinat- ed by the squatting and squinting process. The more time that passed with virtually nothing hap- pening, the more excited the golf fans became, until finally, when Jack got ready to take the extreme step of actually hitting the ball, everybody was nearly crazy with antici- pation, although nobody was making a peep, because putting is an extremely diffi- cult and highly technical activity that unlike, for example, brain surgery - must be performed in absolute silence. And so, amid an atmos- phere of tension comparable to that of a Space Shuttle launch, Jack finally bent over the ball, drew back his putter and gently tapped the ball. "GET IN THE HOLE!" the crowd screamed at the ball. "GET IN THE HOLE!" The ball, of course, did not go in the hole. Your world- class golfers miss a surprising number of short putts. Too much squatting, if you ask me. "NO!" shouted the crowd, when the ball stopped, maybe an inch from the hole. Some men seemed to be near tears; some were cursing openly. These people were FURIOUS at the ball. They did not blame Jack. Jack worked HARD to line up this putt, and here this idiot ball LET HIM DOWN. But Jack was magnani- mous. He tapped the ball in, and the fans applauded wild- ly, as well they should have, because it is not every day that you see a person cause a little ball to roll six feet. When Jack had acknowl- edged the applause, the next famous world-class golfer in his group, John Daly, began considering the many, many complex factors involved in his putt, which he will proba- bly be ready to attempt no later than June. Let me know if he makes it. I'll be in the grass just beyond the refresh- ment area, rolling around like a dog. Dave Barry is taking a leave of absence from writing his weekly humor column.

A I- SB S herniated Vv^, (bulging) disc can 3 press on the nerves of the spine causing a great deal of pain, S numbness, tingling, or weakness, all of which are symptoms of conditions such-as sciatica. Other disc-related problems, including arthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and facet syndrome, are so painful and debilitating that sufferers often turn to surgery for relief. However, there is a non-surgical option that merits serious consideration as a first-line treatment for these, and other, disc-related problems. Spinal decompression therapy is a program that involves the use of FDA- approved non-surgical equipment to relieve stresses on spinal architecture. Studies indicate that spinal decompression therapy has at least a 70-percent success rate. Before opting for surgery, consider this effective, non-invasive procedure. P.S. A full course of spinal decompression therapy takes between four and eight weeks (30-45 minutes per session) depending on the condition being treated. .Dan Busch, DC Dan Busch, DC TWIN PALMS CHIROPRACTIC 1214 Venice Ave. E., Suite C 412-3800 A LwNow SService Today Or it's Free 7674113 Enrg Adi ,v' .

Mickey kicks it up a notch Imagine having the Magic Kingdom all to yourself and your family. It happened to the Spangler family from Atwater, Ohio, who won the prize in an onlline contest to kick off Disney Parks' Year of a Million Dreams, the theme park's newest celebration. I have been lucky enough to see Main Street very nearly empty but the Spanglers had that magical street all to themselves, without so much as a Disney cast member in sight as they walked down the red carpet and headed off for the rides of their choice. Short of having a date with Donald Duck, it couldn't get much better than that in my hum- ble opinion. In the coming year, at least a million dreams will come true in the Florida and Cali- fornia Disney resorts. For resort reservations at WDW, call (407) W-DISNEY Mousecateering The Walt Disney Company took the No. 1 spot in Business Week magazine's inaugural Best Places to Launch a Career ranking. Among the reasons cited were its opportunities for new college graduates, strong on- campus recruiting program, benefits package and collab- orative culture. After talking to Disney employees for years, asking about what it is like to spend every day with Mickey and his gang, this ranking came as no surprise to me. Some of those people who work in the little shops have been there for 25 years and more. At the .California resort, I have met several who met Walt Disney himself in the early days.
