VENICE o JO 0 1OI Un .*******AUTO** ALL FOR ADC 320 LOCAL NEWS COVER TO COVER SFLORIDA'S NO.1 WEnI ,OF*;LORiLI ARES 205 SMA UNIV OF FLORIDA 50 CENTS VOLUME 61 NUMBER 102 AN EDITION OF THE SUN SUNDAY-TUESDAY EDITION, NOV. 12-14, 2006 vO oX 07L 32611-7007 Police hoping for leads in woman's death BYTOMMY MCINTYRE STAFF WRITER Investigators are waiting for autopsy results before making a positive identifica- tion of a missing woman whose body was found buried in a backyard in Osprey Thursday. "We are hoping to have something by Monday," Sarasota County Sheriff's Lt. Chuck Lesaltato said. "Our guys are working on it, and from what we've been able to learn so far by talking to neighbors, we think it's her." Lesaltato could not elabo- rate further. The missing woman is Lauri Beth Moore, 48, of 153 Pennsylvania Ave., Osprey. Moore was reported missing by her sister, Candice Rule, Oct. 25. The body was found buried in the backyard at the Pennsylvania address about 2 p.m., Thursday. Lesaltato could not say who discovered the body. Things not always what they seem While it may seemobvious that foul play is involved because someone buried the body, such is not always the case. Lesaltato said the woman could have died of natural causes, an overdose because she had a drug history, or somebody could have killed her. "We just won't know until we get the ME's (medical examiner) report," Lesaltato said. Lesaltato also said if some- one discovered the already deceased woman and then buried her, they could be guilty of a crime (failing to tell authorities about a dead per- son, illegally burying a body) but not necessarily homicide. Moore's criminal history Rude told authorities she last spoke to her sister May 11,2006. Rude hung up when a Venice Gondolier Sun reporter called her at home in Davison, Michigan and iden- tified himself. Moore is no stranger to police. Since 1995, she has had nine contacts with the law, according to court records. Several of them were drug-related. The cases are all closed, and not all resulted in convic- tions. In one example, the state elected not to prosecute after Moore was arrested for selling and manufacturing controlled substances. You can e-mail Tommy McIntyre at:tmcintyre@- venicegondoliercom. SUN PHOTOS BY JEFF TAVARES, jtavares@venicegondolier.com These two messages heated up the Muslim Community. The local pastor who put them up said he did not mean to start a controversy.

See Veteran's Day photos on page 15. A local preacher said he unwittingly caused a fire- storm in the Muslim com- munity by exercising his First Amendment Rights. Pastor K.C. McCay, of the Congregational Church of Laurel North America, 730 E. Laurel Road, put mes- sages on his outdoor church marquee that stat- ed: "God and Allah Are Not the Same! God (Christ) is Love," and "Muslims Can Convert 'to Christianity Here!" Different messages ap- pear every week. "I didn't know it would cause a controversy," Mc- Cay said. "I had nothing but support from the congrega- tion. The controversy came from the Muslim communi- ty." McCay said he did not get any takers to convert. "I got the idea from that American who converted to Islam and invited other American's ,.to. ,.convert," NMcCay said. .., No hocus pocus McCay said he does not have a problem with the Muslim people, but he believes their religion is wrong. , McCay said there are sev- eral fundamental differ- ences between their reli- gion and Christianity. One involves being born again., "Born again is not hocus pocus, millions have had the experience," he said. "There is no promise like that in their religion." Chewing gum McCay believes people should be free to choose how and who they worship. He said that doesn't mean he won't speak out when he thinks they are wrong. "Look," he said. "I don't even have a problem with people who believe that chewing Wrigley Spearmint Gum will get them to heav- enZ.:. But he does have a prob- lem with the Koran, the sacred writings of Islam revealed by God to the prophet Muhammad the holy book of Islam. McKay said it states that Infidels, or non-believers, can be dealt with in only three ways: enslave them, convert them or kill them. "They are the intolerant ones," McCay said. "They're wrong."

Design change meeting for the bypass The Florida Department of ltansportation has scheduled a public hearing regarding the design change re-evaluation of the Project Development and Environment Study completed in 1994 for U.S. 41 Bypass in Venice, from Center Road to south of U.S. 41 Business. The hearing will be at the Venice Community Center, 326 S. Nokomis A\'e., Thursday Dec. 7. The public hearing will begin as an open house from 6 to 7 p.m. with the formal hearing commencing at 7 p.m. The hearing is being held to allow persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic and envi- ronmental effects of the pro- posed design change. The proposed improve- ments to U.S. 41 Bypass consist of upgrading the existing four- lane roadway to a six-lane divided urban roadway from Center Road to Bird Bay Drive. This project has two seg- ments: segment one, from Center Road to Hatchett Creek, and segment Rvo, from Hatchett Creek to Bird Bay Drive. The proposed improve- ments for segment one require right-of-way acquisition, while the proposed improvements for segment two can be con- structed within the existing right of way. Right-of-way acquisition will also be neces- sary for the stormwater man- agement facilities required to treat runoff. The environmental studies of the corridor will help in iden- tifying a strategy to eliminate or lessen the environmental im- Pacts of the build alternatives. The ,hearing will be con- ductedin accordance withTitle ;of the Civil RightsAct of 1964 and related statutes.

Ballou's niece, Michelle Urzinacock, is a member of the band. The Marine Band consists of 130 musicians, who are enlisted personnel in the United States Marine Corps. Urzinacock brought with her four musicians who put on two special shows for stu- dents. "This is actually our day off," said Urzinacock, "but we wanted to do this outreach concert for my aunt." It was surprising how interested the students were, she said, especially since the music selections were mostly classical. Musical performances were in two parts -first were selections by Marine band members Anna Maria Mot- tolo on piano and Eric Sabo on base. The student's favorite piece was the "Peanuts theme from Charlie Brown" with a piano solo by Mottolo. Leslye Barrett, Cindy Ru- golo and Urzinacock played the oboe, flute and clarinet. Their selections were clas- sical, but the students wanted to know what kind of music they listened to when they were relaxing.- "I actually like country music," Urzinacock said. After each musical piece, students asked questions of band members about their instruments. Urzinacock then explained the history of the marine band. Who they are Founded in 1788 by an Act of Congress, The President's Own United States Marine Band is America's oldest pro- fessional musical, organiza- tion, she said. Urzinacock asked students if they saw any of the presi- dential inaugurations on TV when the band was playing at those events. Musicians have to have flexible schedules, she said because they can call us at any time for visiting digni- taries, holiday events and small parties at the White House. "We are not called to the White House as often now to play," Urzinacock said. "When President Clinton was in office, portions of the band were always being asked to perform for piano recitals and receptions." Fast^tekso On-Site Computer Services COMPUTER REPAIR WE COME TO YOU!

Urzinacock said all of the members have bachelor's degrees, many with masters and Ph.D.'s in music. Once selected, each appli- cant is formally interviewed to ensure he or she meets the physical and mental criteria for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and is able to obtain the required top secret security clearance for White House access. However, band members do not have to go through boot camp, Urzinacock said. When members of the band are selected, they are expert musicians recruited from colleges. The only mili- tary training required is to familiarize members of offi- cer ranks and White House protocols. Concerts Students, were invited to attend a free concert when they visit Washington D.C. and to look at marine band.usmc.mil.com for schedules. "Do you play any rock music?" asked a fifth-grade student. Urzinacock said students would be surprised at the dif- ferent types of music the full band plays. "We have music for every- one to enjoy," she said. "When we are traveling, all of the concerts are sold out." Eric Sabo, base player for the President's Own United States Marine band, shows students William Fillyaw and Sage Kuhr of Island Village Montessori School how to play the base.

"., Dunn-Rankin recognized with award The president of Sun Coast Media Group was honored by the Rotary Club of Punta Gorda Thursday. BY NEIL HUGHES STAFF WRITER No, Derek Dunn-Rankin is not dying. But on Thursday night, his wife, Betty Dunn-Rankin, jok- ingly asked if he were. She and dozens of prominent locals were in attendance as the Rotary Club of Punta Gorda honored Derek for his service to the community. "He's received so many of these awards lately," Betty said. "Is there something his doctor isn't telling us? Do you think he's going to croak soon?" Quite to the contrary, the room was full of life at the Charlotte County Tenta- torium for the 16th annual "Service Above Self" Testimonial Dinner, which recognized the contributions made by Derek, president of Sun Coast Media Group, the parent company of Sun Newspapers. Paul Versnik, president of the Rotary Club of Punta Gorda, said Derek exemplifies the definition of putting ser- vice to the community before oneself. "Through his newspapers, he has supported all of the area nonprofits by donating space in his papers at no charge," Versnik said. For three months after Hurricane Charley, Derek saw to it that a daily newspaper was delivered free of charge to subscribers and non-sub- scribers alike. Dr. David Klein, who received the award in 1998, said the newspaper's positive role in the community speaks well of Derek. Another former recipient, Dr. Bob Andrews, seconded Klein's praise. The Rotary Club recognized him for his service in 2001. "He's a real community person," Andrews said of Derek. "He has the best inter- est of our community at heart, and he deserves it." One person who wasn't so sure he deserved it was this year's recipient himself, Derek. His son, David Dunn- Rankin, said he and others had to convince him to accept it. "It was nice that he agreed this year to be honored," said David, who is the publisher of Sun Newspapers. "We had to twist his arm." Derek said his friends and family didn't have to try too hard to convince him, but that he felt the award would be better suited for someone else. "I think there are lots of people who are more deserv- ing," he said. "We're just doing our job." Recipients of the award are not allowed to be a member of the Rotary Club. However, Derek'said he tries to run his businesses with the Rotarian philosophy, which says to be truthful and fair, build good will and friendships and for something to be beneficial to all concerned. "It's a pretty good guideline SUN PHOTO BY SARA HOPKINS, shopkins@sun-herald.com Derek Dunn-Rankin laughs as he and members of the commu- nity watch a presentation of his life before he is given the Service Above Self Award by the Rotary Club of Punta Gorda during the 16th Annual testimonial dinner Thursday at the Tentatorium in Punta Gorda. for people in business," Derek said. "I think if you focus on the people you're serving and see how you can better serve them, it turns out to be a good business model." You can e-mail NeilHughes at nhughes@sun-herald.com. Capt. Eddie calls it quits BY GERALD A. ROGOVIN CORRESPONDENT Capt. Eddie Toomer, a commercial fisherman for almost 30 years, is giving up. He'll limit himself to taking recreational fishermen out on his charter boat from now on. The 61-year-old Engle- wood resident had just installed two hew engines in his boat, which would have made it "one of the fastest in the Gulf," he said. "But "the new rules have effectively put me out of the commercial end of fishing." Federal rules taking effect Dec. 7 require that commer- cial fishermen with permits to operate in the Gulf of Mexico must install satellite-based monitoring systems that allow authorities to know their location. If such systems are not installed by a specific deadline, fishermen will be fined. The monitoring system, or VMS, allows regulators and law enforcement agencies to know the location of fisher- men to enforce rules for closed areas, protect natural habitats and manage com- mercial fisheries. Required in. other fisheries,' including those off Hawaii and Alaska, the system is similar to a home burglar alarm. Many area Gulf fishermen, with smaller commercial operations, don't like the sys- tem because it is too expen- sive, and violates their priva- cy.. The Gulf Fishermen's Association, which represents 1,070 operators from Florida to Texas, is suing the National Marine Fisheries Service over the rule in a federal court in Tampa. A VMS unit costs $3,100 to install. Added to that is the monthly fee of $40 to $55 for a signal carrier. The fisheries service has set aside $4.5 mil- lion to reimburse fishermen for part of the cost, according to Peter. Hood, a Fisheries Service biologist. "When you add the cost of VMS to growing costs of fuel, insurance, hurricanes and fixed costs, you can under- stand why more of us are get- ting out of commercial fish- ing," Toomer said. He started his career fishing for sale to wholesale seafood suppliers. Then he opened a restau- rant/fish market in Nokomis,, and limited his catch to it. He sold the restaurant 3 1/2 years ago, and has fished commer- cially and for charter since. The VMS system was dis- cussed as early as 1999 by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Man- agement Council. Ten public hearings. have been held since, but they were sparsely attended, according to Hood. "You can understand why," said Toomer. "Many of us thought the rule would not apply to smaller commercial fishing businesses, like those around here. I don't think any of us is against protective marine laws. But we have smaller boats than in other parts of the country. The expense has become too great. Do You Have Bladder Control Problems?

VNIEGODOIR UN Gum removal companies no longer scraping by BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER Kids do it. Grownups do it. Even esteemed seniors do it ... spit chewing gum out on the sidewalk or parking lot of almost every business in the area just before entering the building. Most shopkeepers and large grocery and department stores try their best to stay on top of cleaning up bubble gum. But it's a losing proposi- tion, and it comes at a price. A survey of recent bids to the Sarasota County School District to pressure clean roofs and other structures showed professional cleaners charge between $35 and $150 per hour for gum removal. Awnclean Diversified Services from Tampa won the Sarasota County School Board contract. They charge $50 per hbur for gum removal. "Bubble gum is a hated thing. It's the bane of all prop- erty and facilities managers because it's a nightmare to remove," said Amy Diehl, president of Awnclean. You could say Diehl is obsessed with gum removal. She's spent the equivalent of a small home on gum removal research and development, she said. Then she came across a secret weapon already being tested in Chicago the ThermaClean unit. Awnclean invested $4,200 in a machine and was so pleased with the results it purchased a second. Awn- clean now serves as a ThermaClean representative in Florida. Diehl is selling the brand under the name GumZap. This unique, patented sys- tem uses a combination of steam heat and a special solu- tion to remove both gum and gum staining from any sur- face in seconds, according to Awnclean's Web site. It even removes gum from painted sidewalks without damaging the paint. "Our clients are bouncing off the walls (elated)," Diehl said. Most cleaners first scrape as much gum as possible off the pavement, then attack it with 150-degree hot water from a 3,000 psi pressure hose. The secret to the GumnZap machine is a combination of 300-degree heat and 1,200 psi water pressure. "It's much lower pressure than normally used to remove gum, but much high- er heat without the steam," Diehl said. Fueled by propane, the machine can be mounted on a small trailer or wheeled around on a cart. It sends out a concentrated jet of hot water and detergent through a fan tip only one and a half inches wide. A few passes over the gum, even without scraping, and it disintegrates, Diehl said. "One of the wonderful things is it doesn't leave a ring. "Sometimes petrified gum that has blackened will still leave a slight sugar stain or COURTESY PHOTO. The new GumZap machine removes both gum and gum staining from any surface in seconds. discoloration in concrete, but we've found that fades over time with exposure to sun."

Although she had held a similar job before at Manatee Community College, the ex- perience at city hall enabled her to get the "stamp of approval" of the DBS. This allows any prospective em- ployer to receive state-funded assistance with certain equip- ment and facility modifica- tions that might be necessary to adapt a work center to the needs of a visually impaired employee. "I wanted to find some- thing that would give me an opportunity to help people in some way," Vis said. "I wanted to make a contribution back to the world and to the com- munity that has been so good to me over the years." Vis said people often can't imagine how much a blind person can do if given train- ing and a chance. That was certainly true at city hall. The people who worked with Vis that first time hesitated initially to allow her to navigate the halls or sit at the reception desk alone. But she quickly memorized not only everyone's name and telephone extension, but also how many steps and turns it took to get anywhere in the two-story building. "She could give clearer directions to visiting stran- gers than most of the sighted employees," said the former director of personnel, who was one of her supervisors at the time. "In avery short time, she was able to run the copy and fax machines and even did some microfilming for the records office. "She enjoyed surprising us nearly every day with some- thing new she had learned or done that no one expected. It was always fun to see the expression on people's faces when she called them by name as they walked by her desk area she knew just about everyone by the sound of their footsteps." Feeling at home Since that time, Vis worked as a receptionist at Engle- wood Disposal for nine years and as a dietary aide at Bon Secours Venice Hospital for about a year. "I know everyone must have thought he was crazy," said Vis, "but Sam Hague, who was director of the dietary department at the hospital, was willing to give me a chance. The kitchen staff, however, was very cau- tious in my training. They were uneasy with me and my white cane .as I walked around learning where every- thing was, and they wouldn't let me touch a knife for two weeks. After they saw I could do things without hurting myself or anyone else, they finally decided I was OK to have around." In 2005, she was hired again by the city of Venice to run its switchboard and reception desk. Vis was born in Caracas, Venezuela, nearly 52 years ago. At first her vision prob- lem was just serious glauco- ma which required periodic surgery to relieve the optic pressure. But none of the surgeries corrected her vis- ion, which worsened gradual-' ly until she became totally blind at age 16. "Back then they didn't have 700 S.Tamiami Trail W G Venice, FL 34285 A (on the Island) (941) 485-7222 Mon. Sat. 8 am 4:30 pm Free 48 hr. Rain Check Guarantee the lasers and other tech- niques they're using today which might have cured my vision," Vis said. "And there were no schools for the blind in Caracas like there are here in the States, so I just went to regular public schools it was very hard." Her father, who is now retired, was administrator for a hardware supply store for many years, then later became a bank administrator in a savings and loan. Her mother was a homemaker, devoting her time to raising Alicia and her older brother. "Unfortunately, my moth- er was very protective," Vis said. "She wouldn't let me learn to cook or do anything. around the house because she was afraid I would hurt myself or break something. I've had to learn to do every- thing on my own since I left home, but that has made me very independent." After completing high school in Caracas in the late 1970s, Vis received a scholar- ship to attend the Daytona Beach School for the Blind. Her first goal was to learn English as a second language, thinking that skill would open doors for her when she returned to Venezuela. "Mutt and Jeff" Her plans changed, how- ever, when she met Ken Vis, who was a fellow student at the Daytona Beach school. Ken a native of New Jersey, also had vision problems from birth and has been "legally blind" most of his life.

Ken stands 6 foot 4 inches" tall, and Alicia is a petite 5 foot 1 inch tall" Each displayed an easy going sense of humor about their respec- tive differences and similari- ties. It became immediately evident they were made for each other. Their friends began referring to them as "Mutt and Jeff" after the tall and short cartoon characters who were popular then. "In this case, love truly was blind, because neither of us could see the other," Vis said, smiling. "As we began to get more serious in our relation- ship, many people were skep- tical of our chances of making a marriage work given our physical limitations. But we just took that as another chal- lenge which could be over- come. They have been happily married for more than 27 years, proving the skeptics wrong. Mind over matters For several years, Vis has had the benefit of a comput- erized machine called a "Braille and Speak" which she uses to take notes when she's learning something. "It works like a laptop computer or a Blackberry by letting me set up files of infor- mation that I can then find and access quickly," she said. "I type information in using basic Braille, and the mac- hine is able to translate that into spoken words that I can play back later." Apart from the advantages Member of /- medical T'Group offered by such technological advancements, however, Vis has always considered her memory to be her greatest gift. "God gave me this ability," she said. 'As is true with all ' skills, exercising it makes it stronger, so I've learned to use it to my advantage. In the same way, my other senses like hearing and touch have also become stronger be- cause I've hadto compensate for lack of sight. "But everyone has the same capability to strengthen their gifts," Vis added, "if they would just apply themselves in those areas and not take them for granted. Unfor- tunately, people who can see usually don't pay as much attention to the sounds, smells and textures around them, so they miss a lot. 'Faith and friends Alicia and Ken moved to the Venice area in the early 1980s, shortly after finishing their schooling in Daytona Beach. Ken's father, a retired tool and dye maker from New Jersey, and his mother were already residents of Engle- wood. They made many friends quickly. Vis tutored people in Spanish and joined the Hispanic-American Alliance to help Latinos get estab- lished in the area. They also began attending / Christ United Methodist Church. "I became a believer when I was 29 and got a whole new perspective on life-an understanding of my purpose in life, and a greater motiva- tion to serve others," Vis said. "My faith tells me anything is possible with God's help. Otherwise I would never have gotten this far." "Through the church, we immediately found a connec- . tion to new friends who were willing to reach out to us with any help we needed," she said. One example is the church choir. Although Alicia had never sung in a choir before, when she heard them re- hearsing one night, she decided she had to join. "They were having too much fun," Vis said. "I wanted to be apart of it, even if they wouldn't let me sing. Fortunately it turned out I was able to sing alto and could learn the part from lis- tening to the person next to me. I am also able to use my Braille and Speak to help memorize the words. "Getting to and from the choir loft is a challenge, but with the help of my white cane and good friends in the alto section, we always make it, and have fun doing it. "Growing up," Vis conclud- ed, "I never thought I could survive by myself. When I found out I could, it was a great revelation and a huge step in my quest for indepen- dence. But I also came to appreciate more those who offer their help, so I try to do the same for others." You can e-mail Rollie Reynolds at rjudrol@com- cast.net.

A winner in grades pre-Kto third will be chosen. Tours In his new position, Silva invites schools to tour the fire station. "We have a program that gives students not only a tour but teaches them fire safety in all areas of the home, includ- ing the kitchen," he said. Students are able to tour the living quarters and learn how to stop, drop and roll in case their clothes are on fire - the ABC's of fire safety. "We also show the stu- dents a firefighter in uni- form," Silva said. The purpose of this is so that children would not be intimidated or afraid in case of an emergency. "A young child might hide in an emergency, if he was afraid of the man in uniform," Silva said. Student visitors are given a gift bag that includes a color- ing book, helmet and stickers - fire safety reminders of their visit. If any school or group would like a tour of the fire station, they can call 480- 3030 and schedule an appointment. Holiday tips Keeping your home safe from fires during the holidays is an important issue. The following tips are rec- ommended by the city. Thanksgiving Start holiday cooking with a clean stove and oven. Keep kitchen clutter and loose clothing away from the stove's heat. Turn pot handles in, away from a child's reach. Use pot holders to prevent burns. Never throw water on a grease fire, instead cover the burning pan with a lid. Keep all appliances in good working order. Never overload electrical outlets.

SUN PHOTO BY SUSAN CAIRO Joe Silva, fire training and public education director for the City of Venice Fire Department, looks over student entries for the coloring contest the city held that brought fire safety awareness to students. BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFF WRITER A ride on a fire truck to school serves as a great incen- tive for a student to become more aware of fire safety. That's what the City of Venice plans to give the winner in the coloring contest they spon- sored. The original art work that students duplicated was cre- ated by Lt. Tony Fitzgerald of the Venice Fire Department. It shows a fireman and chil- dren in a home with a smoke detector. "We really wanted the stu- dents to study the picture and become aware about fire safety in the home," said Capt. Joe Silva of the Venice Fire Department. "We wanted to make the kids know how ,important it is to change the batteries in their smoke detectors." Silva was recently appoint- ed the fire training and public education director for the City of Venice Fire Dep- artment. His job is to make the public aware of fire safety in the home and remind the public about things like replacing batteries ,in their smoke detectors.

VENICE GONDOLIER SUN 7A SUNDAY, NOV. 12,2006 WWW.VENICEGONDOLIER.COM PUBLISHER ROBERT A. VEDDER PHONE: (941) 207-1000 8A SUNDAY, NOV. 12,2006 Venice Gondolier Sun OPINION EDITOR BOB MUDGE PHONE: (941) 207-1101 FAX: (941) 484-8460 bmudge@venicegondolier.com www.venicegondolier.com OUR VIEW New law allows phone companies to ask for rate hike A state law that went into effect this sum- mer appears on the surface at least to be just another example of Florida lawmak- ers caving in to special interests at the tax-' payers' expense. The Public Service Commission will open a preliminary hearing on Nov. 20 to decide if BellSouth should be allowed to charge customers an extra 50 cents per line per month to recoup damages from 2005 hurricanes. BellSouth is allowed to ask for that money because of a law that says any telecommunications company can apply for rate increases to help pay for storm- related expenses. The real rub, however, is that the law was written to cover costs above and beyond what is covered by insurance or a hurricane reserve fund. But, it does not require the telecommunications company to insure itself or save for a rainy day. In BellSouth's case, the company did not bother to buy hurricane insurance or fund any hurricane emergency reserve, according to Jason Oxman, an attorney representing BellSouth wholesale customers who will feel the pinch if the PSC approves the rate hike. What the Legislature has done if the rates are approved is reward BellSouth for not carrying insurance or a reserve fund - something most utilities take for granted. If the PSC approves BellSouth's request, it will cost its Florida customers about $34 mil- lion over the next year. And, while BellSouth does not serve Southwest Florida, the lust for higher rates seems to be infectious. Embarq filed a similar request in September asking its customers to pony up more than $10 million in rate increases to offset storm damage claiming it has no insurance, and that it has no storm reserve fund. Embarq wants the maximum rate hike allowed by Florida law. The Florida PSC will hold a hearing on Embarq's request on Jan. 4. There is no word yet on whether Verizon, our other local carrier, might seek a rate hike. If this news wasn't bleak enough, the law allows telecommunications companies to request the higher rates again next year for any 2006 storm damage. There is n6 limit to how many years in a row a utility can request a rate hike. Finally, any rate increase by telephone companies to recoup storm damages comes on top of a $300 million hike in phone bills approved by the PSC in 2005. We find it disturbing that the Legislature would pass a bill that opens the door so eas- ily for rate increases. Even though the PSC is scheduling public hearings on the rate increase now, its record of standing up to utilities who want to raise rates is disap- pointing. Oxman said some smaller wholesale com- panies and private citizens may petition the Legislature to overturn the law next year. But, he said, going against telecommunications' lobbyists and money is a daunting task to say the least. We sympathize with wholesalers and pri- vate citizens who could see a rate hike - even though 50 cents should not cause any- one to have their phone disconnected. The idea that a company, can be financially rewarded for not carrying insurance or plan- ning for a potential disaster is troubling. What is on your list? BOB VEDDER PUBLISHER' Over the next month or two, the county is seeking input from citizens to find out what they would want if we voted to extend the' one cent tax. This will be voted on next" November. , As many of you knowwe've had,this tax for a long time as it has been approved twice before. Why in the heck do we need more money for things than other counties do? Well, the answer is we live in a beautiful place and want a better place now not later when we won't be around to enjoy it. We want libraries like the new one on Fruitville or the addition to Jacaranda library. We want better and wider, and more roads. We want things like our old rail- road station restored and we want more sidewalks and more neighborhood im- provements. We even can get bridges upgraded. All in all there are a lot of needs-many connected with growth. The answer one might suggest is to stop build- ing or substantially curtail it. I can tell you that is not the answer. However, making sure the growth matches the infrastructure is important and what we hope the county and cioes will be addressing. If we continue the tax, what improvements would you like to see? Would you like Jac- aranda Road extended to Laurel Road? Would you want Venice Avenue widened from Jac- aranda to River Road or maybe make River Road four lanes? Since it is for 10 years, we likely would wantPinebrookwidened to four lanes. Maybe we would widen Laurel Road or at least the inter- section at Laurel and Knights Trail. Maybe we'd put all the money into widening the Bypass where it is said there is no money-at least until the Republicans win back congress. Likely there will be a need for emergency services in the county with all the develop- ment going in south county. Some people would like the money to help reduce the cost of water distribution or to hasten the expansion of it. Some people might want a new library to serve North Venice or maybe money to finish the waterway trail. I would guess there are some key areas that need sidewalks, and the only way the county is going to know is if you ask. It is certain in the time of this tax we will need an expanded judicial center in the south. We need to be able to handle felony cases as well as the expanded civil cases. North Port certainly has caused a big piece of that That also may necessitate some kind of holding facility or jail. With Thomas Ranch growing to 20,000 people during this peri- od, we might need to widen US 41 between Venice and North Portwhichis the fastest growing city in the state. For a longtime there has been a cry for a performance center in south county and this is the time to build it. I know the symphony wants its own home to be used with others. It could be combined with an upgrade at Venice High like North Port did or maybe something else like an amphitheater which our county and area could use. I am sure you can fill in the blank with the items you think are critical. The key item I want the Commissioners to consider is putting money aside for the unforeseen. The last time around they allocat- ed every single dollar to a pro- ject, so if one came up during the 10-year period that we had not planned for, then it could not be funded. So when we came up with the need to upgrade Venice Community Center, funding was not set aside. They moved $500,000 that was designated for an amphitheater to the, project, but it deserved a whole -lot more. There should be a way that every two years or so there would be an allocation of a percent of the total to new projects. This might start at year three or four since guess- es would tend to be accurate at the beginning. Here is where the cham- ber, and other community groups need to jump in to ensure we get our fair share. Your best chance to ex- press what you think most important is Thursday night at Jacaranda Library at 6 p.m. You likely will see Sandra Terry and Brian Meurs, two representatives from our area, on the oversight committee. I hope to see you there. If not let Shannon Staub know what you would like to see. Bumper sticker: Wife and dog missing, reward for dog. RobertA. Vedder writes a twice-weekly column in this newspaper. LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Character more important than wall Editor: We're going to build a 700-mile wall. We do need to control that border, and I hope it helps. A long time ago ancient Chinese sought security from bar- baric hordes that swept down from the north. They built the great wall of China, 1,500 miles long and 40 to 50 feet high. Yet in the first 100 years China was invaded three times. The enemies simply bribed a gatekeeper, then marched through. A nation is only as strong as the character of its people. Harry Josher North Port It's all about choices Editor: In response to Bob Bowden's Guest Column on Oct. 15,1 Ihave the answer to his question. It is "no." There is no problem. The fact is that his son was pre- sented with the option to purchase comprehensive auto coverage and chose not to. 'Perhaps he had other bills, Christmas gifts or beer on his mind-I don't know him. But he made a choice that impacted his finances in a negative way. There is no problem, other than that some people can- not see pastthe present. In this case, he got off easy. The cost of his truck was his loss. Every day people fool- ishly ignore their needs, not only for good auto cover- age, but flood, health, life, disability and long term care insurance as well. Those choices can have a much larger and perma- nent impact on one's life. I hope the man learned his lesson, and won't have to repeat it. Paul W. DeClark Venice, FL Cooperation beats building fences Editor: Oct. 26, President Bush signed a bill in Washington to construct 700 miles of fencing along the Mexican Border to prevent illegals from entering our country. This is a sad day indeed, when a free democracy stoops so low. Fences create hostility and tells us of our defeated foreign policy with our neighboring countries. It's unbelievable that President Bush would sign this bill. Democracies don't build fences to keep people out. Years ago the Russians erected the Berlin Wall in Germany, When President Reagan visited Berlin, he told the Russians to "Tear down that wall." Now we are doing what we condemned in Europe. This bill proves that our politicians can't work togeth- er and policy has totally failed in our backyard. The fences will surely be breached. Our government must work with Mexico and control America politically and get them to cooperate to curtail this stream of illegals to our country. Currently those countries are doing little dr nothing to stop this mass flow of people because they are sending lots of dollars home to support their families. It tells us how poor living conditions are south of our border. The poor come here for a better life. Our contractors are at fault, too. They hire illegals knowing they're breaking the law. This won't stop until the contractors are fined and forced to. Once the illegals know they can't find work here, they'll slow down coming here. This is a big problem, but fences won't solve it. Walter Klinger North Port We must show unity to end this war Editor: When I was a kid I use to wait for Sunday to read the funnies. Now I get to read the letters to the editor. Talk about hypocritical hatred for the president. If the so-called left could rewrite Gehesis, Chapter 3 they would say that Bush was the serpent that made Eve eat the apple. Might as well. He has been accused of everything else. For eight years prior to the present president we were straddled with excuses of what words mean. "I did not have sex with that girl," echoes in my political brain. Both political parties are not pure as the driven snow. They all have qualities of unfair motives. The contin- uing problem for this presi- dent is not whether we should be in Iraq, it's sup- porting the troops. They are there now. Put our political differences into winning this conflict. Use whatever it takes to bring them home proud. As a Vietnam vet, God be with our troops. We thank them for their sacrifice for this coun- try. Let it not become a political toy for those who do not face those dangerous enemies every day. Dividing this country will cause more casualties. Rather a united America will end it. Sending this message of unity will show our support. Learn from the past folks. As it says in the Bible, "a house divided will not stand." Whether we be Republicans or Democrats, we, above all, are Am- ericans. Joseph M. Micallef North Port Let Gondolier Sun Classifieds work for you.

So please, if you walk our beach, keep your butts in your own pocket. Jacked up. I live near the intersection ofAlbee Farm Road and the bypass inVenicp. There's quite a bit of construction around our area, and I noticed in the Gondolier Sun an article on "No Engine Brakes." There is a nursing home, there is a senior citizen housing .apartment and a mobile home park at the cor- ner of the bypass and Albee Farm Road, and I believe there are dump trucks that are jack- braking all the way down Albee Farm Road to the stop light I was wondering if there was a law in Florida about this. I came from LasVegas, where construc- tion is 24/7, and the signs do not read "No Engine Brakes Please"; the signs read "Jack Braking First Offense $1,000 Fine." This is a rude way of totally disturbing the public, and I think a law should be passed in Venice or Florida, or whatever it takes,. I think it should be a fine. I don't know what the purpose ofjack- braking is, but whatever it is, it is very, very, very disturbing to people in residential areas who have to listen to it I hope some- thing is done. Solution.

The other driver wa- ,found at-fault but ie' had rdolliability insurance and now,Boden's son is just" out of luck. The police take no action and the uninsured dri- ver is probably still driving. Many of us share this experi- ence. Bowden asks if there is a solution. Curiously, the solu- tion appears on page 6A of the same newspaper in an article on Hans Behrens, the code enforcement director of the city of Venice. He enforces state and local building laws. He also makes sure that the, contractor doing business in the city is properly licensed and insured. If he finds that these people are not licensed or insured, he considers this a serious offense and calls the police or the state regulatory agency. Huh? It's that simple? You just enforce the law? Too bad Behrens isn't running for, state office. He likes to enforce laws that protect law- abiding citizens. Clean air. There definitely should be no smoking at the children's fountain.

T: hey now seek a special ,exception to Osprey's height limi,y.build a 26-room luxu- ry hotel .atop a four-star restaurant and parking in the midst of Bay Street Village & Towncenter. Construction of the shop- ping and residential complex began last month. It will include 532 condominiums and townhouses, about 98,000 square feet of retail and office space and the Mid- County Public Library, a 25,000-square-foot building, of two stories, all around a vil- lage green. Part of a worldwide net- work of smaller, independent hotels, the "mini-Ritz" would offer the same luxury services as the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota for the same prices. Rooms average $469 a night in the Sarasota hotel. The highest rate is $549. Guests in such hotels get five presentations of bever- ages and hors d'oeuvres a day; a salon that provides "facelifts" and acupuncture; . even a service that pampers pets brought along by guests. ,Highly,.personalized, services for sophisticated travelers is the way the hotels pitch their accommodations. "This sounds wonderful," said Rick Noyes of the com- mittee. I don't know if I'll ever plan a stay there; it's less than a mile from my home. But it will certainly make a terrific destination for discriminat- ing travelers." Changes Much has changed in Osprey since Rodriguez put together the 59-acre site from 41 separate properties. The Wal-Mart SuperCenter on U.S. 41, operating since October 2005, acquired 23 acres from Rodriguez. The $11 million purchase fol- lowed almost two years of .zoning changes, design and construction of traffic upgrades on the highway required by Sarasota county and overseen by Rodriguez. A similar process for the Bay Street Village complex followed. It adheres to the tenets of New Urbanism development, which advo- cates walkable neighbor- hoods and traditional hous- ing. Rodriguez' agreement with Bay Street Partners requires him to serve as an architec- tural review committee. "That means that I deter- mine the architectural stan- dards, but I don't control the physical elements," he said. The library, ninth in the countywide system, will occupy 3 1/2 acres of land donated by Rodriguez to the county. It is expected to include a maritime collection focusing on the com- munity's beginnings as a fishing village. More than 55,000 house- holds will be served by Bay Street Village's shops, offices, gourmet and family restau- rants, according to the devel- opers. Retail and office space will be available for lease or purchase, a growing trend nationwide in commercial real estate. Boundary board members sought STAFF REPORT Another new school is com- ingto NorthPort.Due to growth in the North Port area, the School Board of Sarasota County is considering changing attendance boundaries for a new middle school Beginning in August 2008, students residing in certain areas of the Heron CreekMiddle School zone and feeder zones from Toledo Blade Elementary School, Lamarque Elementary School, Glenallen Elementary School and Cranberry Eleme- ntary School may be affected. New Middle School "EE" will be constructed on Panacea Boulevard, north of the Snover Waterway. The school district will be forming a Boundary Advisory Committee to assist in the development of the proposed changes. Its taskwillbe to create and/or revise attendance areas to ensure that both Heron Creek and the new school have pro- grams, staff and facilities to meet the educational needs of all students. Among the committee's membership will be: represen- tatives from Heron Creek Middle School and Toledo . Blade Elementary School (and others if necessary), including the SchoolAdvisory Committee Chairs; the principals of each school; four parent representa- tives from each school who live in different geographic areas (selected jointly by the SAC Chair and principal); and a teacher from each school The first meeting of the Boundary Advisory Committee is planned for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday November 28, 2006, at Heron Creek Middle School.

In the third quarter, Corona again found Danahy for a TD from nine yards out. Corona got his third TD when he hit Hunter Ovens on a screen pass covering 52 yards.

But on Saturday, the Crusaders finally met their match in Port St. Lucie. Playing the Fort Pierce Chiefs in the opening round of the Pop Warner Southeast Regionals, the Crusaders were dealt a 26-0 defeat. The Crusaders, the Peace River Conference Junior Midget Division 2 champs, saw their season end with a record of 11-1. Fort Pierce lives on to advance to the next round of the playoffs this coming Saturday in Tampa. Fort Pierce used its speed to break out to an early advantage. Then the Chiefs played tough defense to shut down Anthony Alexander, Wesley Ojeda and company. The Crusaders finished the regular season 9-0 and were seeded first in the Peace River Conference playoffs. They defeated the Naples Hurricanes and then the North Fort Myers Raiders to advance to the regionals. Meanwhile, three Venice Vikings cheerleading squads will be heading to the regional cheer-off competition at Disney over the Thanksgiving week- end. The Knights, Lancers and Warriors were all win- ners at the Peace River Conference Cheer-Off at Florida Gulf Coast University. The teams are currently raising money to make the trip to Disney's Wide World of Sports. The Vikings have traditionally done well in com- petition, thanks to excellent coaching throughout the organization. Ranch kickers have too much for Lady Indians BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR After opening the season with wins over Port Charlotte and North Port, the Venice High girls soccer team saw things speed up big time Friday night with Lakewood Ranch in town. The Lady Mustangs are the preseason district favorites with a strong squad from attack to the backline. Venice played the Ranch tough, but the visitors simply had too much in a 4-1 victory over the Lady Indians at Powell-Davis Stadium. Ranch improved its record to 4-0, while Venice fell to 2-1. The Lady Mustangs domi- nated play the first 18 min- utes of the match, but Venice was able to dodge bullets with several shots just wide of the net. Lady Indian keeper Diana Lambrecht was also sharp in making some big stops. Ranch finally cashed in at the 18:30 mark. The Lady Mustangs kept the pressure on, resulting in an own goal just a minute later. Then the Lady Indians set- tfled down and took the action to Ranch. Venice had appeared to cut 'the deficit in half 10 minutes later when Kristina Swanson rocketed home a direct kick from 20 yards out. But the officials ruled offsides, negat- ing the goal. The score was 2-0 at half- time. Venice continued to play well in the second half. The work paid off at the 50- minute mark, as Chelsea Rose caught keeper Rachel Valori out of the net. Rose pounced on a loose ball and poked the ball home. All of a sudden, it was a 2-1 match. Ranch got it back nine minutes later to go up 3-1. That didn't stop from com- SUN PHOTOS 8Y CLAUDE LEWIS UPPER LEFT: Stopper Colleen Kennedy clears the ball out of danger's way.

Jenkins' shot was swept away at the goal line by a defender. Two min- utes later, Rose had another chance on a pass from Swanson. Again, a Ranch defender cleared the ball just before it got to the line. Ranch changed goalkeep- ers right after that. With six minutes left, Melanie Murphywas run over be a defender on a break. Swanson had a shot from 16 yards out on a direct kick, but fired over the crossbar. Ranch clinched it with three minutes remaining as wonder woman Lindsay Thompson scored on a breakaway. The Venice junior varsity also fell to Ranch, 2-0. One of the goals was on a penalty kick. The Lady Indians play at Southeast Tuesday night. Lady Indian hoopsters hope to be a lot better this season BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR The Venice High girls varsi- ty basketball begins the 2006- 07 season with renewed vigor following a disappointing 2005-06 campaign. Last season was marred by injuries and a season-ending 10-game losing streak. The Lady Indians lost in the first round of districts. Venice only lost one senior to graduation. Senior guard Natalie Gaudreau is healthy after missing almost her entire junior year. There are lots of girls who gained valuable experience last season. They should be ready to step up and take up the challenge. "There's a big change from last year-like night and day," said second-year coach George "The Animal" Stritz. "Last year, the girls didn't know me and I didn't know them. The attitude and work ethic are so much better. The girls are pushing each other." Stritz describes practices as intense. Hopefully, they will have the Lady Indians ready for their Tuesday night opener at Lemon Bay. This year's squad has three seniors, a whopping nine juniors and one sophomore and one freshman. The seniors all have a lot of varsity experience. Gaudreau was a standout point guard her freshman. and sophomore years before her ankle injury last year. She will play a wing posi- tion this year, either popping from the outside or driving to the hole. Her ballhandling skills will help break presses. The tallest player on the team is 6-2 Samantha Worthington. She will play some post, but she also has a nice shot from the corner. Jamie Lane is a guard /wing whose shot has improved a lot according to Stritz. The strong junior class is guard heavy. Jen Thoennissen is the new point guard. Diana Mehserle is known for her hustle and suffocating defense. Lindsay Riegsecker is good from long range. Lauren Ramey is a well- rounded player. 1 "A lot of them will play point and two guard," Stritz said. Junior forwards include Chloe West, Kaylee Ream, Kim Pinkerton and Megan Taylor. Meredith Meerman is a sophomore forward. KirstenWachle is a promis- ing freshman guard. Stritz will play mostly man-to-man defense. There will also be trapping zone pressure. "Our strengths are our defense and our shooting has improved over last year," Stritz said. "A lot of girls played all summer long." Rebounding against taller teams will be a chore. "We have to rely on funda- mentals," Stritz said. "We have to box out." Stritz has set the bar high as far as goals. "We want to win the dis- tricts," he said. "Port Charlotte, North Port and Southeast should be tough teams in the district." Stritz is assisted by his daughter Alicia and Don Remo. Ann Ross will be the junior varsity coach.

It includes all road or lane clo- sures approved by the county engineer. Colonia Lane, Nokomis: Works continues on the Colonia Lane improvement project. Colonia Lane is closed to through traffic at the east end at Albee Farm Road and at the west end at Nash Avenue. Access to the closed section of road way is limited to local traffic only. Signs, bar- ricades, and flagmen will be present as needed to ensure that vehicles and pedestrians can move about safely. The detour route (traveling east) is south on Nash Avenue to Nippino Trail, north on Nippino Trail to Colonia Lane, then east on Colonia Lane to Riverview Drive, north on Riverview Drive to Florence Street, then east on Florence Street to Albee Farm Road. The detours, are expect- ed to continue through early November. Roads impacted by the closure are limited to local traffic only and are sub- ject to enforcement. The pro- ject includes the addition of 4 foot bicycle lanes, sidewalks, streetlights .and a waterline along an approximately 0.9 mile stretch of Colonia Lane from Nash.Avenue to Albee Farm Road. The project will also provide gateway and streetscape features, includ- ing decorative streetlights and street signs, a decorative surface treatment (medallion pattern) at the Colonia Lane and Albee Farm Road inter- section, enhanced pedestrian crosswalks of textured con- crete and landscaping. The project began in July and is expected to be complete in March 2007. - Bay Point, Nokomis: Con- struction continues on a pro- ject to install waterlines to 495 homes in the Bay Point area of Nokomis. The project area is bordered on the north byAlbee Road, to the south by Bayview Parkway, to the east by North Tamiami Trail, and to the west by Lyons Bay. Work will include the follow- ing streets: Pameto Road, Palm Avenue, Bayview Park-- way, Pine Road, Pecan Lane,, Park, Drive and Four Bays Drive. Lane closures are riot expected since the work is being done in the county rights of way, but motorists are advised to use caution while traveling through,,the area. Construction in the area should be finished by the end of the year. Center Road, Venice: Work continues this week on a major roadway construction, project to widen Center Road from River Road to Jacaranda Boulevard, and to improve the Jacaranda/Center and River/Center intersection. Night work is scheduled through Nov. 9 for resurfacing the Jacaranda/Center road intersection Nov. 7-9. Venice East Boulevard at Center Road and the Jacaranda/- Center intersection will have intermittent lane closures. The Jacaranda/Center inter- section will have lane shifts to accommodate road-widen- ing and resurfacing, work. Traffic will continue to use the newly paved lanes from East Venice Boulevard to River Road with a few lane shifts to accommodate mis-, cellaneous work. Motorists should use extreme caution and expect extensive delays while traveling through the area arid are advised to find an alternate route. The speed limit through the construc- tion area is reduced from 45 to 35 mph and is designated a No Passing Zone. The project includes widening a 3.6-mile stretch of existing two-lane roadway to a divided four- lane road with landscaped medians, streetlights, 4-foot bicycle lanes, traffic signaliza- tion, roadway drainage and stormwater ponds. A 10-foot- wide, combination path and sidewalk will be built on both sides of the roadway as part of the county's trails system. Construction began in Oct- ober 2005 and is expected to be complete in April 2007. Pine Street, Englewood: Work continues on, the Pine Street Improvement Project in Englewood that will extend Pine Street north of River Road to link to the Englewood Sports Complex and the Park Forest subdivision.

The work includes two 12 foot travel lanes, 4-foot bike lanes and a separate 10-foot multi- use trail with access to the sports complex. Two storm- water ponds will be con- structed to help improve the drainage in the area. Work is expected to continue through May2007. Mcintosh Road Phase II, Sarasota: Work continues on the reconstruction and widening of McIntosh Road from Proctor Road to Hicks Street and other improve- ments. Workers will be installing storm drains near the lanes of travel this week. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to .exercise caution while traveling through this area.

It is characterized by tenderness at specific points in the body including the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and upper and lower extremities. Fibromyalgia sufferers also experience fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, and a variety of other symptoms. While not truly a form of arthritis because it doesn't cause ) inflammation or damage to the joints, fibromyalgia is considered to be a "rheumatic condition" (one which impairs the joints and/or soft tissues and causes chronic pain). Because fibromyalgia is 'difficult to diagnose and treat, patients often look to a variety of treatments. Many find chiropractic treatment to be helpful, either by itself or in conjunction with other therapies. P.S. Fibromyalgia affects 3-6 million Americans, 80%-90% of whom are women, although men and children may also be affected.

SHUTTERS NOW ON SALE GO FISH 148 Judge not, lest ye be judged BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Three chefs and a writer sat down to eat, and eat, and then eat some more. The occasion was the annual Inter-club Cooking Competition. The 2006 com- petition was held recently at the Venice Yacht Club. VYC chef Mark Pegram orchestrat- ed the event, choosing Artic Char as the entree meat, pro- viding the club kitchen for the chef's prep work and arranging for judges. He also prepared a meal for nearly 150 diners from the clubs involved in the event. The chef judges were Brian D. Knecht, CEC, AAC, the apprenticeship teacher of culinary arts at Sarasota County Technical Institute; Wendy Wallis of Sundance Catering; and John Dutton, CEC, CDM, the director of dining services of Morrison Senior Dining, a member of the Compass Group. I was the fourth judge, eminently qual- ified by several years of eating out and in. Competing chefs The competing chefs were: William Ecker of The Oaks Country Club, Jean Pierre Pel- let of Pelican Point Golf & Country Club and Frank Hag- aman of the University Club. While the competing chefs were doing their thing in the club kitchen, we four judges were sequestered in the club's small private dining room just off the pool deck. We were armed only with a pen and a judging criteria sheet for each chef's presentation. The cooking chefs could earn up to 10 points for presenta- tion, 40 points for a combina- tion of such things as the combination of 'foods, taste and whether the food was properly cooked and an addi- tional five points for whether or not we would order the dish if on the menu of a restaurant. In one case, I would not. In two cases, the food was not cooked to the degree it needed to be. We Were given bottles of sparkling water and crusty rolls with butter but no other accompaniments to the, entrees prepared for the chal- lenge. With three entrees, there was no shortage of food. This is one case where being a member of the clean plate club would not be a good idea. A taste would suf- fice, especially for the judges who planned to stay to din- ner afterward at the club. So much for good intentions. Offerings The first dish offered fea- tured a delicate rectangle of pan-seared Artic Char placed atop a 3-inch round of blue corn meal polenta that was itself topped with braised escarole. That delicate stack was set atop a sparse driz- zling of black current and bacon dressing. Topping it all were sprigs of parsley so young that the familiar ser- rated leaves were barely dis- cernible. Our first challenge was whether or not to give this elegant presentation a 10, knowing there were two dish- es yet to come. I wrote down a 9, silently challenging the' other two chef offerings to be better than this one. Later I learned that the other judges made a similar decision. Watching the professional chefs jab their forks into the currant bacon sauce, I did the same. The blending of flavors was delightful. Then I tasted the polenta also delightful. So was the braised escarole. The-Artic Char was perfectly cooked, slightly crisp around the edges but in no case over- or under-cooked. This left me with two challenges. If I gave it a perfect 40 points for the taste and other aspects and 5 for wanting to order it at a restaurant, what would I do if the other two entrees were equally good. It would be like giving appropriate marks to Michelle Kwan for skating a perfect program, deserving of * 6.0, under the former judging system, yet not being able to do so because there were sev- eral skaters to follow her. I awarded this chef 39 of 40 points and five points for the final category. I now had two points to work with for the other two chefs, should their offerings be as pleasing to eye and palette. The bigger challenge was to not clean my plate of this delightful offering. I failed. Our waiter brought us warm rolls and we each took a bite of one, a way of cleans- ing one's palette. We had each cleaned our plates. "I must have been really hungry," Dutton said, the rest of us concurring. New Silver New silverware was placed before us and then, the sec- ond entree. It: was described as Phyllo-wrapped mousse of Artic Char with a red beet sor- rel sauce. It looked like a tor- tilla wrap cut in half on the diagonal before being placed on the plate. It was sitting in a plate full of two sauces. One half the plate was the color of red beets and the other half was the color of cooked arti- chokes. A yellow pansy was to one side and on the other side, a small pile of what I learned was seaweed. That all this 'color was placed on a plate filled with additional pattern led me to give mini- mum points for presentation. My first-place choice was solidly ahead even without awarding points for the taste and combination of foods as well as how it was cooked. Discussion We discussed the descrip- tion given this dish and de- cided it would have been bet- ter to say it was served with red beet AND sorrel sauces, as we were expecting one, not two, sauces given the chefs description of this entree. Less sauce and a less decora- tive plate also would have helped score higher presen- tation marks. None of us knew which chef had pre- pared any of the entrees but I was pretty sure that this one had been prepared by a less experienced chef or at least one who was less experi- enced in entering contests. In trying to impress us with a mixture of gourmet ingredi- ents and with a lavish presen- tation, he went over the top so that the flavors muddied one another and the presen- tation was too busy. Had he offered a smaller serving ac- cented with one of those sau- ces'dotted on a plain white plate, my opinion might have been vastly different. Because I did not clean this plate as I had the first offering, I had plenty of room for the third entree Flame- broiled medallions of Artic Char with Morel mushrooms, Maine lobster and bouill- abaisse cream. There were three medallions, separated by three torpedo-shaped chunks of boiled purple pota- toes. A sprig of lavender topped the lobster claw meat that was in the center of the three medallions. Morel mushrooms cascaded from the lavender and there was just enough sauce drizzled around the entree that it not only looked good enough to eat, it was. Again I cleaned my plate with one exception. The potatoes were about two minutes shy of being cooked as thoroughly as I would have liked. That turned out to be a good thing because it made my decision for me, putting this offering in second place by a scant two points. Debut As a writer I have covered the Pillsbury Bake-Off and as a skating judge I have judged hundreds of skating competi- tions up to and including nationals. This was my debut as a food judge. I would do it again in a minute, if only to work with the likes of the three professional chefs who also were on the judging panel. But mostly, I would love the chance to taste some- thing as wonderful as Pan- seared Artic Char with braised escarole, blue corn meal polenta and warm black current and bacon dressing.

What's in it, and what else can I put in my bath to help? Someone sug- gested essential oils. DJ., Denver A: Epsom salts are magne- sium sulfate. In the bath, magnesium breaks apart from the sulfate and both get absorbed into your skin. Both substances, reduce inflammation and pain. The hot water is also soothing and improves your circula- tion you want more blood flow (and oxygen) to sore suffocating muscle cells. These cells need the oxygen, so improving circulation in any way is helpful.; You can also put Naturopathica's "Arnica Muscle & Joint Bath and Body Oil" in the bath. I like this one because it con- tains basil, rosemary, bay laurel and arnica a sooth- ing combination that should relieve sore, achy muscles and joint pain from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or overexertion. Arnica is also found in many over-the-counter arthritis rubs because it increases cir- culation and reduces swelling and joint pain. As far as essential oils go, I need to make sure you real- ize that you can't just buy a bottle of oil and put a few drops into your bathtub - your friend told you wrong. Most pure essential oils need to be diluted in a carrier oil (like almond oil) or you could "burn" your skin. Lavender (for relaxation) is one exception. This is why I recommend that people buy blended mixtures com- bined in the right ratio to soothe your skin, your sens. es and your ailment, whatev- er it is. You see products like this at salons and bath and body shops in the malls. For. more information on the infused essential oil men- tioned above, visit naturo- pathica.com or call (800) 592-7995. Q: Used to be you could just buy soap, but now it comes in all sorts of types. Should I buy the "antibacterial" type or not? Something tells me those chemicals are bad. K.N., Port Charlotte, Fla. A: Before we talk about antibacterials, let's just talk about soap. If yoirGoogle soap's sudsing agent, "sodi- um lauryl sulfate" (aka SLS) you will find a lot of dirt. Apparently, studies show SLS causes skin/scalp irritation and liver damage. SLS is. found in most soaps, sham- poos, detergents and tooth- pastes. Now add the antibac- terials and you have a rela- tively chemical-laden mix- ture to kill off the bacteria. I don't know what's worse, the nasty bugs or the harmful chemicals to kill them. America is getting germ- phobic. I don't think these "supercleansers" are any bet- ter than plain soap and water because there isn't any real hard evidence they lead to fewer infections. As a pharmacist, I imagine that our bacteria will become resistant to our antibacterial efforts. Also, these soaps dry out your skin. I think routine washing with plain soap and water will do the trick, even for kids. Now if you want your soap to be free of SLS, too, then go to the natural health food store or look online.

Some- times when we are older, we take things that happened years ago and finally face them. Well, maybe my case is not that bad, but something has triggered this memory. I was so embarrassed by this incident that I had not even told my children about this humiliating day in my life, but the other day I was telling my son, John, about it. He just laughed uproariously and, in that voice that only a son can use to admonish a parent, suggested I cleanse my soul by telling you all about it. And he didn't even feel sorry for me! Well, to begin with, I fool- ishly decide to major in home economics at Indiana Unive- rsity. Little did I know this entailed two years of chem- istry! I slept through the lec- tures and didn't understand the lab at all. I guess someone did some political maneuver- ing and I got by with a C-. Then came food chem- istry. We had food lab two days a week. We made baking powder biscuits and soda bis- cuits to see why they raised. I guess they thought that was very important for the out- side world. I don't remember learning anything important in that class the entire year. Now we are going to get to the point of this whole story. The ultimate disgrace any college sophomore could suf- fer! In the three-day-a-week lectures at 1 p.m., no matter how hard I tried, I fell asleep. I started drinking coffee and going without lunch, getting plenty of sleep at night, all to no avail. Now, do you know what this professor and previ- ous second-grade teacher did to me? When she saw me napping, she made me, a col- lege sophomore, stand in the corner facing the wall for the rest of the class! And twice she did that! I guess she thought she'd teach me a lesson. Can you imagine what would happen if any professor tried this today? Back then, one didn't dare report such an unspeak- able fate to the authorities, so I suffered the ignominy of my youth, swallowed my pride as I was told and stored the embarrassing memory in that black box where we keep these things. I dunno!!! Mind you, Indiana was a very good university, so I don't want you thinking bad about them. At that time they had one of the best, if not the best, schools of journalism in the country and there my grades balanced the bad chemistry marks. I had been an avid 4 H'er, entering my cooking and sewing in competition when I decided to major in home ec and also. asked to minor in journalism, thinking I could write for a woman's maga- zine. "No, no," said the lady dean, "those two don't go together." Oh, well, that's okay, I finished with more credits in journalism anyway. Maybe I did sleep through classes, but there was a lot I should have learned in home ec. When we were seniors, the man whom I would eventual- ly marry and I were in charge of a Swing In/Swing Out Party. This party was for ingo- ing and outgoing staff of the "Indiana Daily Student," a large, almost daily newspa- per, published by the stu- dents. We were planning the menu and I suggested we might have ham. Some man said, "Well, I'm not so sure - some of the staff is Jewish." Now, I had lived on a farm until I was 13 and had com- pleted four years of home ec. "Is ham pork?" I asked. All that food chemistry and farming and I did not even know that. it would have been nice if we had learned about cooking of poultry, meats, vegetables, etc. OK, I shouldn't admit to my stupidity, but that's how it happened, folks. Oh, and that sleeping through classes thing. I did not know it at the time but this was probably due to attention deficit disorder. No one had heard of such a thing back then.

(on the island, next to Venice Little Theatre) the linguists at the blog Language Log. The subject of his rant: Gamer's opposition to "however" at the beginning of sentences. First, Gamer's advice: "It seems everyone has heard that sentences should not begin with this word -not, that is, when a contrast is intended. But doing so isn't a grammatical error; it's merely a stylistic lapse, the word 'but' ordinarily being much prefer- able." Zwicky traces this idea back to the early writings of William Strunk Jr., which include a flat-out prohibition against this sentence-starting "however." (The linguists at Language Log despise Strunk and White, by the way. And while I'm not prepared to take a side, I'll admit they make some pretty compelling argu- ments.) Zwicky argues that some prohibitions against this use of "however" are "extraordi- narily silly."Others, he says, Please see WORD, 10B Restaurant 5 Wine Bar t g--3--O------------- I % ENTIRE MEAL We're Now Taking 1 5 OFF Thanksgiving Reservations I I 'Exp. 11/22/06 Must present coupon BIC NM U Restaurant Chains Q .i They are all the same Althea's Food & Prices Puts them to Shame.

For me, well, Garner lost me at "hello," so to speak. His opener, "It seems everyone has heard ..." made me a skeptic because I, for one, had never heard any such thing. I agree with Garner's assessment that there's no grammatical problem with starting a sentence with this type of "however." But then Garner banks most of his rec- ommendation on what is clearly a matter of personal taste. "Stylistic lapse" and "preferable" are examples of personal opinions taken too seriously kind of like a preacher dubbing himself a prophet. Garner goes on. "'However' - three syllables followed by a comma is a ponderous way of introducing a contrast, and it leads to unemphatic sentences." But just as I get to interpret whether "Thou shall not kill" applies to my own choice to hire an exterminator, I get to interpret what, in my own writing, is "ponderous" and unemphaticc." So do you. So here's my command- ment: Be aware that starting a sentence with "however" may make your sentence sound stuffy, formal or weighted down with too many sylla- bles. But ultimately, you're allowed to exercise reason and your own free will. Amen. The aerodynamics of lunch meat DICK HARRISON Quite by accident I discov- ered Venice is the home and workplace of one of the world's foremost experts on the Aerodynamics of Lunch Meat. Up until this point, his scientific specialty has gone unheralded and virtually .unnoticed. When it receives the attention it deserves, I wouldn't be surprised if oth- ers in his profession adopt the timesaving techniques he has Venice Public Library will be closed Thursday, Nov. 23, and Friday, Nov. 24, for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The best known and most closely related discipline I've been able to find is practiced in Seattle's famous Pike Place fish market, where flying flounder and sailing salmon delight the customers because highly trained per- sonnel toss sea food to one another before presenting it, neatly wrapped, to the buyer. Many steps are saved for the fishmongers who spend long hours each day on their feet. The ability to pass a salmon thirty feet, with a perfect spi- ral, deserves the same praise as when a tight end snags a Hail Mary in the corner of the end zone just before the clock runs out. If Venice's own cold cut quarterback were as flashy as Seattle's, his notoriety would have been assured long ago. However, the inherent differ- ence between seafood and Ten.

Venice has far fewer goofy West Coast type liberals than Seattle, and I don't want to get him in trouble with any hidebound, traditionalist, executives. At his deli, the meat slicers are several steps away from' the scale. Even with practice, hefting and hitting a half- pound order of pastrami on the nose can be a matter of tiny fractions. Come up short or a little over and it means an extra hike from slicer to scale and back. Our local expert has, over time, perfected two unique talents.

All this takes is much practice. The second is where sci- ence plays the major role, as well as intimate familiarity with an almost infinite variety of cold cuts. To use an aero- nautical term I have recently made up, not all lunch meat has the same "coefficient of drag." According to our expert, salami has a tendency to "fly" once it hits the scale and the result can be the loss of the top. slice or two unless the toss is adjusted based on a variety of factors such as humidity and -the. tempera- ture in the meat case. Liverwurst, on the other hand, is steady as the, rock of Gibralter. Sliced chicken breast also has a tendency to "fly," perhaps having to do with something in the DNA.

Olive-loaf is relatively sta- ble, but depending on the thickness of the slice, the olive or pimento can keep going, leaving the top slices looking like Swiss cheese. With some orders, discre- tion is the better part of valor. Because of the price per pound of some specialties such as imported Prosciutto, it's better to take the extra steps than chance a dropped pass. Head cheese, because of the high gelatin content should be as stable on the scale as liverwurst or braun- schwager, but because it is ordered so infrequently more research on it's flying charac- teristics needs to done before it can be added to the manu- script our local expert is preparing for publication.

Pets develop the same types of cancers as people. Dogs, for example, are 35 times more likely to develop skin cancer than humans, four times more likely to get breast cancer, eight times more likely to succumb to bone cancer, and twice as likely to develop leukemia. Insurance claims show lym- phosarcoma and skin cancer, as the most common pet can- cers. "Dog and cat owners should take their pets in for annual checkups," Dr. Carol McConnell of Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) suggests. "Clinical signs of cancer can present themselves in dogs and cats at a very rapid rate." Cancer causes almost half the deaths of pets more than 10 years old. Here are some signs to watch for: * A growing lump or a sore that doesn't heal * Discharge or bleeding * Your pet is losing weight despite eating normally * Going more than a day or two without eating * Difficulty in chewing or swallowing * Any unusually bad smell coming from your pet * Tiring easily and unwill- ingness to exercise. If you're attuned to your pet's needs and ordinary behavior, you may be able to spot changes that indicate problems. However, in many cases, the signs are difficult to detect. Only a veterinarian can diagnose cancer, so regu- lar preventative examinations are important. If cancer is diagnosed in your pet, there is hope. Due to rapid advances in veterinary medicine, early detection of cancer in pets can be battled with some success. Sop- histicated treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and surgical procedures that were once only performed on humans are now available for pets, too. These procedures can be expensive, but cancer treat- ment costs can be affordable with financial assistance for pets in the form of medical insurance. Medical plans from VPI, for example, reim- burse for the 'testing and treatment of common can- cers. Pet owners can also pur- chase a special Cancer Rider as an add-on to their base policy, which increases the cancer benefits, so they receive about twice as much in reimbursement after a claim is filed. If added to a policy before the pet is 3 years of age, an annual puppy or kitten lock-in rate for the rider applies. VPI reports that cancer claims are the fourth-highest type of claim that dog and cat owners submit. To help in the fight against pet cancer, VPI encourages pet owners to contribute to a special cause. Pet owners can display their support by purchasing a lim- ited-edition Pet Cancer Awareness dog collar a- dorned with lavender rib- bons; all profits from sales go directly to the Animal Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit orga- nization dedicated to pet and human cancer research. Visit petinsurance.com/cancer to order yours today or to donate to the National Can- ine Cancer Foundation through its Pink Paw In- itiative.

In addition, of the people who said that a hotel's pet policy made an impact on their decision of where to stay, 35 percent said it was the most important factor in their deci- sion. This ranking of cities is based on the number of AAA Ap- proved and Diamond rated pet- friendly hotels. The list also notes pet-friendly AAA Ap- proved attractions, the number of local dog parks listed on offi- cial cityWeb sites and other out- side sources, and the number of American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)-accredited animal clinics. 1.

Sunday, November 12, 2006 W ith a Mardi Gras theme and a focus on forging new relation- ships, builders and Realtors will get together Nov. 16 for an a 2006 Expo. The sales and marketing council of the Charlotte- DeSoto Building Industry Association will get builders and real estate agents together tolearn more about how they can build upon each other's success. Page 2 D/E/N/C/V The Expo will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Nov. 16, in the Cultural Center of Charlotte County. "Jazz Up Your Sales" Expo gives builders a chance to pro- mote new communities, show new floor plans and discuss incentive programs and co- broke information with Charlotte, Lee, Sarasota and DeSoto county Realtors. Realtors will be treated to free attendance, as well as a complimentary gourmet breakfast buffet and libations. Prizes will be given away all during the event as every exhibitor will provide a valu- able door prize, including a $1,000 drawing for one Realtor who has registered at every booth. "This event will be a power- ful networking opportunity for both builders and real estate agents, and will help them dis- cover how they can join forces for mutual success in today's challenging market." said Joe Cataldo, loan officer at Englewood Bank and chairperson of the Builder- Realtor Expo event. "The event is a one-of-a- kind day for both builders and real estate agents. No other area event brings this number of builders and agents togeth- er in one place at one time. Last year we had 20 building The _A, Sun companies exhibiting and more than 350 agents attend- ed. Those numbers could easi- ly double for this year's Expo," Cataldo said.

TIES T C.53082 r^ Venice Gondolier Sun Sunday, November 12, 2006 Gulf Shores house By KIM COOL VENICE GONDOLIER FEATURES EDITOR A key advantage of buying an older home on the island of Venice is the size of the lots. Recently listed with Realtors Jan and Ralph Conner is such a home in Gulf Shores. The three-bed- room, two-bath split plan house features a great room, central kitchen nd new Corian counters in the kitchen and master bath all on an oversized lot. Within walking distance to the beach, the 1,684-square foot (under air) house is within a block of the larger of Gulf Shores' two deeded beach easements and just one block from Service Club Park. Carefully maintained land- scaping frames the home and its 12-by 26-foot inground kidney-shaped swimming pool. Accenting the yard is an especially large native oak tree in the front and additional trees, including fruit trees, in the rear and side yards. Thelandscaping is main-" tained with a well-fed sprin- kler system. A carefully planned combination of fencing and shrubbery around the house resulted in a very private yard. The living room is 16-by- 20 feet with sliding doors leading to the pool cage and lanai area. The view contin- ues to the landscaped-yard. The second bath serves as a guest bath for the main liv- ing area, as well as for the two other bedrooms. The third bedroom is equally adaptable. Its location off the pool area and adjacent to the kitchen area allows it to be used just as easily as a isted with Conners family room. The three bedrooms mea- sure 12-by-16, 13-by-16 and 14-by-13. Flooring.is a combination of ceramic tile and carpeting. The roof is asphalt/fiberglass shingles. Built in1970,.the home has been carefully maintained. Recent upgrades include new hard surface counters. A paved double driveway leads to the one-car attached carport. Located at 343 Shore Road, the house has been listed at $479,000. The house can be seen by appointment. Call the Conners at 941-416-0315 or 941-485-5421.
