Renter utility



deposits may



be lowered


By GREG GILES
NEws EDITOR
When the Venice City Coun-
cil adopted new utilities rates
last week they also adopted a
recommendation by a stake-
holder group to keep utilities
deposits for renters right where
they are almost three times
higher than those required from
property owners.
Despite that recommenda-
tion, the city is considering
lowering renter deposits after a
number of complaints.
Property owners pay a utilities
deposit of $125, although that
can be waived for customers
with a good record on payment;
tenants pay $350. The city places
the deposits into a noninterest-
bearing account, although it
does by law have the option of
placing the funds into interest-
bearing accounts.
Some tenants call it discrimi-
natory. The city says it's neces-
sary to cover the costs of renters
who skip town without paying
their bill.
The city can recapture the
unpaid bill from property
owners by placing a lien on the
property, but that doesn't work


HOLIC SNYDER
with renters.
Utilities are typically turned
off after 90 days of nonpayment,
according to city officials. The
$350 tenant deposit is intended
to cover the average bill for that
period.
Finance Director Jeff Snyder
defended the practice, saying
the small amount of year-end
write-offs for tenants is proof the
policy is working.
Nevertheless, Snyder said the
city can't at this point justify the
higher amount for its tenant
deposit. He plans to recommend
a lower amount, somewhere in
the neighborhood of $300.
It was quietly upped from
$250 to the current $350 in
2010 as part of a standard rate
increase.
Mayor John Holic last week
said he'd support lowering it

Home prices rising


By ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST
Prices of homes sold last
month in Venice were up
almost 7 percent said Roxie
Larain, president of the Venice
Area Board of Realtors.
The average price increased
to $165,664 during December
2011, compared to $154,933
the previous year. Listings in
December were 236, down
7.1 percent compared to a
year ago. The two months'
sales were 171 in 2011 and
176 in 2010, a decrease of
2.8 percent.
The past year saw the lowest
mortgage rates since tracking
began, said Larain.
"Most of the year home


prices remained lower,
contributing to a leveling
off of our inventory, which
went from 11.3 months to 6.8
months at the end of 2011,"
she said. "Because everybody
is pricing better, even inves-
tors, we have a good product
and are seeing moderately
priced homes. The real estate
market is always changing,
but we are never again going
to see the days of 2005.
There are fewer houses
for sale, primarily because
previously they were way
overpriced, creating excess
inventory. In December 2010
1,685 homes were listed, but a
year later there were 1,293, a
drop of 23 percent.
Another factor that's


apparently becoming more
significant and is illustrated
by prices increasing is short
sales. Often homes are in a
shabby state, having been
unoccupied for a long time,
and are only of interest to
investors who have to make
them whole again with new
kitchens, bathrooms, etc., to
make them saleable at a fair
market price.
"We don't feel short sales
are near the end," Larain said.
"Some people are saying 2015,
others 2020. I would not want
to hazard a guess."
A 27-year Realtor, she
started her career in Maine
in 1985. Two years later she

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, right, tells Tito Gaona and a small crowd touring the Venice Circus Arena that he is inter-
ested in understanding the effort to save the arena. "My wife, Sandy, and I helped put the Ringling Museum back
on the map. We'll see what we can do to help." The Buchanans visited the arena after a town hall meeting held at
Venice City Hall.


BY AUDREY BLACKWELL
STAFF WRITER
During a town hall meet-
ing Saturday, U.S. Rep. Vern
Buchanan, R-Longboat Key,
focused on two hot-button
items affecting Americans:
jobs and spending.
About 70 people filled council
chambers at Venice City Hall.
Most had been notified of the
meeting by telephone or email.
Judy Perkey, of Venice, said


she received a phone call
about the meeting.
"This is the first time we've
come to Venice for a town hall;
it's usually in North Port," she
said. "He wants to talk about
spending and job creation and
for us to submit any ideas we
have."
"The most important issue
... is our country's tidal wave
of debt," Buchanan said. "We
have $3.5 trillion in deficits,
and in reality, we will only


take in enough money to last
until July 27."
Buchanan said that instead
of spending less because less
money is coming in, Washing-
ton is spending more.
"The politicians in Washing-
ton are not talking about what
to do about it," he said.
While entitlement programs
are a big factor in government
spending, Buchanan did not

Manatees head for




warmer waters


Cool weather causes clustering


By STEVE REILLY
STAFF WRITER

A drop in temperature
may not pose an imme-
diate threat to manatees,
but the chill could send
them to warm-water
havens.
Martine DeWit, a
senior researcher with
the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Research Insti-
tute in St. Petersburg,
said she has heard recent
reports in Tampa and
on Florida's east coast of
manatees gathering at
warm-water havens near
power plants.
With the drop in tem-
peratures from the 80s
and 60s to the 40s, DeWit
said, "they will start using
(warm-water havens)
more heavily."
Locally, manatees
are known to gather
in creeks and canals
along Charlotte Harbor
and Lemon Bay, in the
Myakka River, and in
Myakkahatchee Creek in
North Port.
Cold water poses a
health threat to the
marine mammals during
sustained periods of air
temperatures hovering
in the 30s, which lead to

WATCH OUT
FOR MANATEES
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vation Commission officials
encourage boaters and the
public to report injured or sick
manatees, sea turtles or other
marine mammals to FWC's
Wildlife Alert Hotline at
888-404-3922. For more infor-
mation, go to http://research.

According to state
researchers, exposure


to water temperatures
below 68 degrees for
long periods can trigger
cold stress in manatees.

S practitioners
in Sarasota
County
and the
surround-
ing area
COSTA has been
arrested.
According to a Sarasota
County Sheriff's Office
report:
Holly Lynn Costa,
46, 700 block Cypress
Avenue, came to the
attention of the Venice
Police Department after
a local pharmacy noted
her filling back-to-back
prescriptions for con-
trolled substances.
The Sarasota County
Special Investigations
Office was called in
and eventually learned
Costa was travelling
from Tampa to North
Fort Myers in search of
prescription drugs.
Four of the counts
originate from a Sara-
sota pain management
clinic on Bee Ridge
Road in Sarasota, where
Costa saw four different
doctors.
Detectives said not
all of Costa's physician
records were recovered
as some were seized
by the Drug Enforce-
ment Administration
prior to the Sarasota
County Sheriff's Office
investigation.

Hoveround comes back to Sarasota County


By STEVEN J. SMITH
SUN CORRESPONDENT
Hoveround Corp., a maker of
power wheelchairs, has moved
its headquarters back to Sara-
sota County, where it originated
in 1992, from Manatee County,
where it has been since 1996.
The move could mean more
jobs for Sarasota County resi-
dents as the company grows.
Tom Kruse, the company's
president, is pleased with the
move, which puts 280 office
workers at 6010 Cattleridge
Drive, just off Bee Ridge Road in
Sarasota. Hoveround, with more


than $100 million in annual
sales, now leases 58,000 square
feet in that building and will take
over the entire 70,000 square feet
by the end of this year.
"We have quite a few employ-
ees that come from North Port
and Port Charlotte," Kruse said.
"And they are thrilled to now
save around a half hour on
their trip to work. It will be a lot
easier of a commute for them."
Kruse said the five-year lease
was prompted by a need for
additional office space for his
administrative personnel. The
manufacturing arm of the com-
pany, which consists of about


220 workers who actually build
the wheelchairs, will remain
at the company's 2151 Whit-
field Industrial Way address in
Manatee County.
"The move was bittersweet,"
Kruse said. "It's a great space for
our administrative personnel,
but we're leaving behind our
brothers, if you will, back in the
industrial park where we grew
up."
The move also was spurred
in part by a $250,000 grant from
Sarasota County, in exchange
for the creation of 100 new
headquarters jobs over the next
five years, according to Lauri


Summerville, Hoveround's vice
president of client services. Sum-
merville added that information
systems, telecommunication
equipment, software, furni-
ture and fixtures also would be
funded partially by the grant.
"The idea behind the grant was
to facilitate our expansion into
the facility, the hiring of the new
jobs and developing the Sarasota
County area for us," Summerville
said. "Those jobs will include
call center jobs to accounting to
finance, executive and manage-
ment positions. There's an assort-
ment of jobs we'll be filling as we
grow over the next five years."


Kruse said that Joan McGill,
vice president of business devel-
opment for the Sarasota County
Economic Development Corp.,
was instrumental in making the
move happen.
"There was quite a bit that had
to be done to move that many
people to another county," Kruse
said. "Not just the physical move,
but the preparation of the build-
ing and its setup. The county was
gracious enough to help us with
a part of that, with the grant.
The grant is based on employee
growth over the next five years,
hiring people in Sarasota County
as we go forward."

Casey Key complex getting upgrade


By ROGER BUTTON
BUSINEWS COLUMNIST

Recently acquiring the
run-down Wishing Well
Apartments, 221 Casey
Key Road, Nokomis,
entrepreneur Paul Martin
of Casey Key has begun
upgrading the property
to the same standards
as his four-star Bentley's
Resort Hotel in Osprey.
"My goal is to achieve
the same major upgrade
while keeping the units
as permitted," said
Martin, who is managing
this project in addition
to operating the hotel in
Osprey, "basically bring-
ing the apartments to a
much higher standard,

Paul Martin, owner of Bentley's Resort Hotel, stands outside
The Wishing Well Apartments on Casey Key, where he has begun
a complete makeover of what will reopen as On The Beach
Casey Key later this year.


depending upon what we
are allowed to do."


Already renamed On
the Beach Casey Key, this


Gulf-to-Bay property
has 18 units 12 on the
beach, six bayside and
five docks. Martin is
using his own contrac-
tors who recently began
clearing every unit, and
he will have renovations
completed ready to open
next season or sooner.
The Wishing Well was
purchased for $1.1 mil-
lion under separate
ownership from the
hotel, with Martin as
majority owner with a
partner from Australia.
Jag Grewal of Ian Black
Real Estate handled the
transaction.
Martin said the prop-
erty was in bad shape.
The bayside building


had been uninhabitable
for a few years, he said.
The beachside building
was better, although still
pretty poor, and it will
take a lot of work to get it
sorted out.
"Clearly we will bring
employment into the
area, as a manager is
hired together with
cleaning staff and a land-
scaping team," he said.
He has no intentions
to be as extravagant as
he was with the hotel,
but his policy to always
source and buy from local
companies will continue.
One of the first things
to be done is improving
the landscaping with
tropical and indigenous


plants, smartening up
the beachside and the
roadside before employ-
ees start construction.
He described the
apartments as being
of a similar standard
to the old Osprey Inn,
now Bentley's, which
was acquired in 2009. It
would be ideal to bring
the facilities up to four-
star quality, said Martin,
but it is not the same
situation on Casey Key,
where amenities of retail
or food and beverage
cannot be introduced.
The accommodations
will be up to the hotels'
standards, however.

Legacy Trail gets a general store soon


"This is the half-way
stop, probably the only
coffee shop on the
whole Legacy Trail," said
Mari-Anne Saunders,
who with Rob Dickson
is opening The Legacy
Trail General Store, 595
Church St., Nokomis, in
mid-February.
"As avid cyclists, we
know how much a stop
for nourishment is wel-
comed," said Saunders.
This is a new business
in a building backing
up to the Legacy Trail
rest stop that will serve
trail users, cyclists and
motorists stopping to


enjoy outside activities.
They will serve coffees,
sodas, desserts, energy
drinks, smoothies, pack-
aged sandwiches and
subs and other food. The
general store section will
have sunglasses, first-
aid kits, tire repair kits,
sundries and artwork by
local artists.
From Stoney Creek,
Ontario, Canada, Saun-
ders graduated in Shef-
field, England, with a
master's in psychology
and returned to Ottawa
to work with abused
women for 15 years.
Attending law school, on
graduation she partnered
in a law practice special-
izing in helping those
women.
Sixteen months ago
she and Dickson decided
to open a business they
and other people would
enjoy and, as avid bikers,
they secured this special
location on the trail. It


will be open seven days
a week from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Call 941-374-7335.

New studio
"2012 has started good,
with more people get-
ting engaged during the
holidays." said Darrell
Williams, who with his
wife recently acquired
Turner Photography,
224 W Milan Ave.
A historic downtown
building, it has been
completely remodeled
with new state-of-the-art
lighting and cameras.
Williams photographs
weddings and engage-
ments and shoots beach
portraits, family events,
high school photos, baby
pictures and business
and executive shots.
From Charlotte, N.C.,
he graduated with an arts
degree, then worked in
the corrugated packag-
ing industry for 15 years


as national sales man-
ager before moving to
Jacksonville becoming a
co-owner of a chemical
injection pump business.
Twenty years later he
retired to Sarasota where
he met his wife, who had
been a photographer in
Pittsburgh, Pa., and hav-
ing always been involved
in photography they
decided to start Always
Forever Photography.
They found an oppor-
tunity to purchase a full
studio in Venice where
the owner was retiring
and decided to bring it
back to life, serving both
their Sarasota company
and the Venice busi-
ness. Office hours are
10 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays.

Larain


Sellers are seeing multiple
offers and buyers are seeing
historically low interest rates.
Inventories are shrinking, as are
days-on-market.
We are very encouraged
by these indications that our
market is recovering.
We started out our year at the
Venice Area Board of Realtors by
closing on a construction loan
for our new building, which
will be located at the rear of our
current property on Substa-
tion Road. When the project is
completed, we will have a new,
state-of-the-art facility to serve
our members. The old building
will then be demolished.
Our committees are already
working on our annual chili
cook-off (a popular event
among members and the public
as well), our annual golf schol-
arship tournament to benefit


local graduating seniors and
some new projects as well.
Our Green Committee is plan-
ning an outdoor movie event in
October and our Special Events
Committee will be working on
additional funding for our Habi-
tat House. We are very proud to
have raised more than $53,000
of our $85,000 commitment.
Our members do so much
more than sell real estate -
they contribute in many ways
to the betterment of the com-
munity we serve.
Our Regional Multiple Listing
Service has added two more
shareholders: the Pinellas
Suncoast Association of Real-
tors and the West Pasco Board
of Realtors. We now have more
than 33,000 Realtors participat-
ing in the regional system. That
means much more exposure
for you to sell your homes, and
businesses as well, because the
regional system also has a grow-
ing commercial presence.
If I were to pick a few words
to describe my take on real
estate in 2012, I would say that
the best is yet to come.

dent of the Venice Area Board of
Realtors.

Opening it under new
management and with a
fresh name, Richard Nasser
intends to ensure the new
Venice Palm Inn, 1710 South
Tamiami Trail, is successful.
SBS Hospitality Manage-
ment of Atlanta has recently
been hired to manage the
property until a buyer is
found.
"I want to improve the
image," said Nasser.
Of the three buildings,
one block of 40 rooms is
complete and available,
while work is ongoing in
the remaining rooms by the
management company team.
The heated swimming pool
and large patio capable of
seating 150 people have been
completely upgraded.
Wedding receptions are a
priority, said Nasser, who had
already booked two prior to
reopening.
"For party events we will
work with guests who can
bring in their own caterers to
serve their choice of food,"


he said.
The motel has undergone
renovation by a contractor
hired by a bank at a cost of
more than $500,000. Nasser
said the work includes roof-
ing, exterior painting and all
new doors and air condition-
ing units in the rooms.
The nonsmoking property
provides complimentary
continental breakfast. All
rooms are fitted out with a
fridge, microwave, phone
and TV. Twenty-four-hour
on-site security includes
closed-circuit cameras on the
property, and the reception
desk is open round the clock.
New landscaping has been
installed, and Nasser hopes
to open two more rooms a
month with all new d6cor, tile
flooring and new furnishings.
Nasser and his partner,
Rudy Ferraro, have more than
30 years' experience manag-
ing mostly hotels, but some
condominium and time-
share properties in Fort Lau-
derdale, Miami and Atlanta.
Born and raised in Jerusalem,
Israel, Nasser has been in
U.S. since 1977 and regards


Atlanta as his home.
The property was a Days
Inn when it was foreclosed
on in July 2009 by Peninsula
Bank. It reopened as the
Travelers Inn, operated by a
Miami-based hotel manage-
ment group in June 2010.
Currently the property is
owned by Florida Commu-
nity Bank, which acquired
the assets of the former
Peninsula Bank.

Sciatica Symptoms, But Not Sciatica
DR. DAN BUSCH, DR. ERENE ROMANSKI


CHIROPRACTOR
In inflamed piriformis muscle
can cause pain in the buttocks, which
leads many to mistake it for sciatica. The
piriformis muscle helps stabilize the hip,
leg, and pelvic area. It can become
inflamed from sitting too long or rotating
the leg outward (as when driving). With
inflammation, the muscle can harden and
press on the sciatic nerve, causing sciatic
pain in the buttocks that radiates down


the leg to the ankle or middle of the foot.
It may be felt in the lower back, as well.
Sitting usually makes the pain worse
while standing or walking often makes it
feel better. Chiropractic treatment can
help to relieve the cause and effects of an
inflamed piriformis muscle. Often makes
it feel better. Chiropractic treatment can
help to relieve the cause and effects of an
inflamed piriformis muscle.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

back to $250. Council
Member Emilio Carlesimo,
who raised the issue on
behalf of a constituent,
said he'd also support a
$250 utilities deposit.
Most cities in Florida
don't differentiate
between renters and
property owners.
Ken Small, finan-
cial technical assistant
manager with the Florida
League of Cities, said
that's probably because
most haven't revisited the

mention doing away with
any program. Rather,
he suggested ways to
improve spending.
"I'll look at resetting
the Social Security trust
fund," he said.
He sees the other big
issue, job creation, as
another way to help
Americans' finances.
"We've got to get
people back to work," he
said. "In Venice and Sara-
sota County 10 years ago,
the unemployment rate
was 2.9 percent. Now it's
10 percent. The number
one thing we need to do
is create jobs, and that
means helping small
business do it."
He suggested giving
small businesses better
access to capital.

now is a broker/associate

Bypass.
Another encouraging
sign is that new members
are joining the board at a
faster pace than expected.
In 2011 the Board bud-
geted for 540; it ended the
year with 632.
All the positive signs
have her looking forward
to her year at the VABR

fact that we live in such

issue in years.
"Some differentiate
because they've had some
specific problems with
renters running up bills
and then disappearing,"
Small said.
"They try to rectify that
by boosting their utility
deposits higher. Other-
wise, the bad debts have
to be assumed by all the
rate payers. I'd say Ven-
ice's policy is working."
Small regularly encour-
ages cities to review their
utilities deposit history
and write-offs to manage
the issue.
"It's all about protecting
the rate payers," he said.

financial house in order,"
Buchanan said.
Pat Wayman was the
first to speak during the
question-and-answer
portion. She said the
financial picture is a
problem because of
Congress and asked
Buchanan, "What are you
doing about it?"
Buchanan's said the first
week after he took office
he said he did not want
to spend more than what
is taken in. If 49 states,
including Florida, have to
have balanced budgets,
the federal government
should be able to balance
its budget, he said.
"It needs bipartisan
effort ... to pass a consti-
tutional balanced-budget
amendment," he said.
Buchanan said Chris
Christy, the Republican
governor of New Jersey,
works with a house and
senate run by Demo-
crats, yet they meet


Small uses Venice as an
example of best practices,
not for its higher tenant
utility deposit, but because
the city has a reverter
policy that states when a
property becomes vacant
for any reason, the water/
sewer utilities bill reverts to
the property owner.
"The monthly base rate
covers the fixed costs, and
it's unfair to the rest of the
rate payers to subsidize
payments that are not
being charged," Small said.
He's seen some social
service groups petition
cities to try to make the
deposit amounts more fair,
if there was a perception

regularly, disagree and
work things out.
"In Washington, no
one has done a good
job at building relation-
ships," he said.
The audience
applauded.
Another person
asked why the Keystone
pipeline won't happen.
Buchanan said he thinks
environmentalists have
influenced the president.
"I think that we have
150 years of oil reserves
in the U.S. and in the new
frontier we can get off of
foreign oil," he said.
Another man said with
the economy the way it is,
the U.S. shouldn't be help-
ing countries that hate us.
Retiree George
Samanc, of North Port,
said he doesn't hold
anything against anyone
who has $130 million.
While not a millionaire,
he said he's had a good
life. He worked a union

the city's historic dis-
trict, complained to city
officials recently at a city
council meeting for the
same reason.
She said from past expe-
rience the city often turns
off water utilities long
before 90 days and doesn't
need the higher deposit.
She also said it's placing
an unnecessary financial
burden on tenants.
"I had a nice couple in
their 20s expecting their
first child who wanted to
rent out one of my units

job, raised his family and
sent children to college,
and got a good pension.
He just wants everyone
to pay their fair share of
taxes.
Buchanan said the tax
code is 70,000 pages and
taxes need to be flatter
and more fair.
Buchanan left the
audience with his ideas:
"I'm all for drilling for
oil, but not just 3 miles
off our beaches. Drill
more in Alaska, Pennsyl-
vania, North Dakota or
Canada."
"I'm all for legal
immigration, but we
need to be tougher on
illegal immigration.
Make English the
official language.
"The level of frustra-
tion and anger you feel is
felt all over," Buchanan
said. "Washington is bro-
ken. All (the politicians)
are concerned with
getting more money and


but couldn't come up
with the $350 plus the
$600 deposit, first and last
month's rent," Schwartz
said. "With that amount
you could put a down
payment on a house. It's
not fair to renters."
Schwartz referred the
couple to another apart-
ment complex where
the rent already includes
utilities.
Landlord Don O'Connell,
who also owns units in
the historic district, said
he used to put the utilities
accounts of his rental units
under his name because
tenants couldn't afford it.
But after getting stuck with

meanwhile the house
is burning. I hope soon
we'll be able to put the
country first."

a few bills, he installed
separate water meters.
Instead of higher tenant
deposits, O'Connell sug-
gested the city look into
better ways of recoup-
ing the $200,000-plus in
liens the city has placed
on property owners with
outstanding accounts.
"Why discriminate
against renters when you
have $200,000 in liens?"
he said. "Why doesn't the
city more aggressively
pursue those?"
Holic said he anticipates
the issue will be raised
again in the next few
months.

Why do so many people have AARP" Medicare Supplement Insurance, insured by UnitedHealthcare
Insurance Company(UnitedHealthcare)? It could be the competitively priced plans. Or maybe the fact the
AARP and UnitedHealthcare names are recognized nationally. Here are a few more reasons why a
medicare supplement plan could meet your needs:
Save up to thousands' of dollars per year in out-of-pocket medical expenses
Have the flexibility to visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare patients
Enjoy the freedom to see specialists without referrals

OUR VIEW



Thanks, MPO, for getting it right at last


Kudos to the regional transpor-
tation board that cut through
myriad side issues and opted
last week to proceed with plans to
widen U.S. 41 Venice Bypass to six
lanes.
Sure, there were aspects to this
project that gave doubters plenty of
ammunition and they seized on
those details. Big picture, though, the
board had studies and recommenda-
tions that all pointed to one thing: Fix
the major intersections and build out
the entire 2.6-mile, four-lane bottle-
neck to six lanes.
No matter how you sliced and
diced it, road experts have repeat-
edly favored widening. In addition,
the people who live in South Sarasota
County and drive U.S. 41 every day
favored widening. The business com-
munity did too, overwhelmingly. So,
enough debate. It was time to move
forward. Once and for all.
Now, we can only hope this vote
does truly mean the project will


move forward once and for all.
The action by the members of the
Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan
Planning Organization keeps the
entire project as a priority, but there
is no money available right now to
do it all.
Two segments are already funded,
and construction is scheduled for
2014-16. Those are six-laning the
northern section of the U.S. 41 Bypass
from Bird Bay Drive to Albee Farm
Road, and six-laning the middle sec-
tion from Albee Farm Road to Gulf
Coast Boulevard. That segment, essen-
tially improving the Venice Avenue
intersection, is critical.
The resistance arose regarding the
southernmost segment: 1.1 miles
from Gulf Coast Boulevard to Center
Road, including the difficult Center
Road intersection, which is in the
jurisdiction of Sarasota County. Two
of three Sarasota County commis-
sioners on the board Nora Pat-
terson and Joe Barbetta opposed


moving forward with this segment,
and we believe it's fair to say Com-
missioner Jon Thaxton was a reluc-
tant "yes" vote.
The latest cost for improving
intersections and widening this seg-
ment is pegged at $68 million. Buying
the right of way is overwhelmingly
the largest chunk of money, nearly
$50 million. Besides, the funding isn't
available right now. Property costs are
low now, though, and we expect they
will only rise in coming years. The
same holds with construction costs.
It would be far preferable to get this
entire project done as soon as pos-
sible, for the sake of lower costs and
what will be the disruption to the
community when construction does
take place.
Overall, we'd like to see this done
sooner, if at all possible, and as if
it were a whole. And, of course, no
one wants to see a repeat of the
prolonged nightmare that was the
U.S. 41-widening project in Nokomis


(or, worse, the one that took the road
south of Center Road to six lanes
before that). As good as that road
looks now thanks, in large part, to
the landscaping and as easy as it
is now to travel that section, living
through construction was a torturous
experience.
For now, we are thankful the MPO
board voted to accept the latest
peer-review study and set a course
for a wider, better U.S. 41 Bypass.
In the end, this is the "other" major
north-south route here, second only
to Interstate 75. It is a bottleneck,
where six lanes in either direction
narrow to four lanes for 2.6 miles.
The bottleneck is bad now, and will
only get worse as more and more
people move to South Sarasota
County.
A wider road and better intersec-
tions would be necessary sometime.
Really, there was no reason to head in
another direction, to stall or study it
yet again.


Moon Unit Newt


Talk about taking a gamble
in politics Newt Gingrich
shows up in Florida and blurts
out that as president one of his
goals would be to have a colony
on the moon by 2012, and have
it become our 51st state.
Now, being seasoned in the art
of politics, he knew his audience
on that day, which of course was
the space corridor. Fantastic job
speaking to the audience. How-
ever, could someone remind
him there are such things as
newspapers and TV stations in
Florida? Could it be possible that
he forgot about the media?
Who on his staff do you think
woke up one morning and said,
"Newt, tell them we are going to
put a colony on the moon, and
we will win"? Talk about a con-
cept that was not thoroughly
vetted.
Besides the obvious, we
Americans have so many more
issues facing us than returning
to the moon and carving out a
village of 13,000.
Immediately, this remark set
off China, which wants to claim
ownership of the moon along
with all of New York and Las
Vegas. Now we see Newt has
foreign affair issues right off the
bat, and he has only captured
one primary.
Truckers are going to take issue
with the new training involved to
transport goods to the 51st state.
I am sure sleeping on the road to
the moon is going to be a bigger
issue than it is on Earth. Plus, the
physical one might have to pass
would be a little different from
the one used today.
Fuel for space travel has to
be about $1,000 per gallon or
thereabouts, and a price hike
every morning is certainly
going to create budget issues
and increase the cost of a gallon
of milk. So if you live in the 51st
state, you are going to pay $412
for a gallon of milk opposed to
the $4 we pay here on Earth.
With this type of economic
unfairness, how will the 13,000
get paid? Companies would be
paying around $1,300 or so an
hour.
The tax code would certainly
change for the 51st state. If jobs


are lost, unemployment would
be a tremendous burden on
earthlings. Something different
would have to be done.
The infrastructure would be
an incredible array of storage
units. The price of using water,
which we would ship from
Earth, would be almost as high
as the city of Venice charges
renters to be able to pursue
happiness in the form of drink-
ing water and managing waste.
Let's suppose the city workers
strike at state 51. Lots of lives at
risk when that happens, espe-
cially those in charge of the food
and water distribution. Certainly,
a power outage creates a whole
new meaning to emergency.
Furthermore, as the citizens
progress through life on state 51,
how do they visit us earthlings, as
surely we here on Earth cannot
afford to pay for the additional
luggage on the trip up there.
Even Southwest Airlines would
have to charge for the luggage. Its
competitors are laughing now.
We'd have to build a state-of-
the-universe medical facility that
should be prepared for every
disease known to man and have
the brightest doctors because
you know the kids are going to
go out and get some dreaded
moon virus. Oh yeah, we have to
have a school system and, wow,
sending kids off to college has a
whole new meaning.
I could go on and on with the
issues and obstacles that come
with colonizing the moon but I
think you get the picture. What
is even more astonishing is a
person who has a legitimate
shot at garnering the Republican
nomination for president of the
Unites States of America had the
audacity to make a statement
such as that before even winning
the office. It's beyond scary.
There is nothing wrong with
goals in politics. Reasonable,
attainable and pertinent goals
seem to be a thing of the past
with our politicians today.
Colonize the moon, huh? How
about put all Americans to work?
Fix a spiraling-out-of-control
Social Security program? What
about medical treatment for
everyone? What about drugs that
are killing people on our streets?
Come on, Newt, your head is
in the clouds but then again,
so is my 9-year-old daughter's.
Hers in the clouds is cute; your
head being in the clouds ... not
so much.
In politics, sometimes the
devil you know is better than
the one you don't.

All wet. Boo to the Ven-
ice Economic Development
Advisory Board for withdraw-
ing its support for rebuilding
the Circus Arena. The excuse
that it might conflict with the
new performing arts center
at the high school does not
hold water. There are a lot of
reasons why we should sup-
port the Circus Arena. We have
not been supporting it in the
last few years. I feel that we
should make an all-out effort
to support rebuilding it. I think
the town of Venice should get
together and try its best to
raise enough money to rebuild
that arena. After all, it was the
talking point for Venice for so
many years, and it brought in
a lot of revenue, more than
the performing arts center is
going to do because I, for one,
will not go to the performing
arts center at the high school. I
would go to the Circus Arena if
it were open. Please, please do
something about restoring the
Circus Arena.
Unappreciated. I'm a little
angry at the way you've treated
Nancy Woodley. You don't treat
anybody correctly. You show
no appreciation of outstanding
accomplishments. This lady
has been filling the position
of interim for about two years
and she's done an incredibly
good job. But before that, you
made no recognition at all of
the fact that she got two beach
renourishments, she got the
funding for the third renourish-
ment. This is something she did
on her own because she knows
the right people. She built the
new pier because the old pier
would not withstand hurricane
winds. This is something that
she did. She saw the need and
got it funded, she got it done.
She strengthened the jetties.
She has been the de facto
city manager and you haven't
recognized that. Not only have
you not shown appreciation,
instead you've shown her very


Let 'em



















Have It
shabby treatment and forced
her to retire. Council needs to
apologize. The mayor needs to
give her some kind of an award,
a little bit more than a procla-
mation. I give up on the Venice
City Council. We only need five
members anyhow. They can
screw up as good as seven.
Reversal. Council Member
Jim Bennett made a reasonable
case for six-laning the county
portion of the bypass, and
then at the end came up with a
hare-brained idea that citizens
should get together and physi-
cally park cars in the bypass to
block its flow. He suggested that
this might be a dramatic thing
to do. This is unconscionable. A
reasonable argument is put to
waste by this foolishness.
All dry. If you're not going
to allow alcohol at beaches
because the drinkers will be
driving home, then outlaw
all alcohol in restaurants and
bars. Fair is fair. First you out-
law smoking on beaches, now
the booze?
Wrong. This is in response
to two opinions published in
the Venice Gondolier The facts
stated are completely absurd


and wrong. You said Democrats
have not gutted Medicare but
rather pursued a few frugal
steps. Do you consider tak-
ing $500 billion out of Medi-
care a frugal step? The other
Democrat caller is still blaming
George Bush. It's insane saying
that Obama can't get us out of
this debt in only four years, but
he didn't have to quintuple it
in four years either. All you can
do is attack Fox News and steer
your same Democrat party line
speech and nonfacts. The two
wars under Bush there's no
such thing as a funded war,
never has been and never will
be. They were approved by
Congress. Obama went into
Libya. Obama got no approval
before sending support into
Libya. No Congress approval,
nothing. And that certainly
wasn't funded either. You're
wrong on many points and it's
very difficult to deconstruct
your arguments in calling in
and making statements. We will
get you out of office in 2012.
Cheap shot. The cartoon on
Jan. 18 was a terrible cheap
shot at the tea party. How
stupid of him to think that tea
party people are against all
government programs. All we
want is less government con-
trol and smaller taxes. What's
wrong with that?

Arena project gaining speed after slow start


ORLANDO
BEVINGTON
GUEST COLUMNIST

The Venice Circus
Arts Foundation Inc. is
moving forward with its
goal to save the historic
Venice Circus Arena.
I met with Airport
Administrator Chris
Rozansky Jan. 20 to go
over details of the lease
for the 5,800-square-
foot building on the
arena site. We are leasing
that building first and
will work our way back
to the large arena in a
year or so. We need the
smaller building to store
or warehouse our circus
equipment and to make
repairs to our bleacher
systems for our tent.
Thousands of dollars
have been raised this
month from supporters
and our Circus Bingo
fundraisers on Saturdays
at our space in King
Solomon's Treasures on
the bypass.
We are like all other
501(c) (3)s, working
harder in these economic
times, but that does not
mean we are not mak-
ing progress. To the
contrary, we are making
great strides with our
project. We have cast a


broader net for support
and are enlisting the help
of some extraordinary
people.
Cirque Italia, well-
known in Europe, is
sending from Milan,
Italy, its beautiful show
"Aquatic" to Venice for its
U.S. premiere. This is the
first time since 1992 that
a major international cir-
cus will debut a show in
Venice prior to a national
run. There also is a finan-
cial arrangement being
ironed out that will bring
money to VCAFI from the
national run of the show,
another unprecedented
move.
VCAFI is sponsoring
this premiere due to its
national and interna-
tional contacts. We will
be set up at the Jacaranda
Plaza beginning in late
February through the
end of March. Our gala
fundraiser dinner with
abbreviated Cirque Italia
Aquatic show is March 16,
with tickets available for
$125 per person. We will
have 17 additional shows
beginning March 17
through the end of the
month with average ticket
prices around $35.
We estimate net rev-
enues to VCAFI in the
six-figure range, with
these events to initiate
the major roof repairs


on the arena, our big-
gest priority right now.
Once we stabilize the
building and keep water
and vandals out, we can
move inside and start
using the building to
make additional monies
through education and
fundraisers.
We are currently seek-
ing additional qualified
executive board mem-
bers, but we are being
very selective in that
process. We want people
who really believe in
our mission to preserve
circus heritage in our
community.
Our greatest mission is
rarely talked about, and
I would like to set the
record straight.
Yes, we want to save a
building and a site that
we believe has every
right to be in our com-
munity, as it has been
for more than 50 years.
We also want to support
injured and crippled
former circus perform-
ers who live without a
financial safety net in the
real world.
Most performers are
independent contrac-
tors hired by circus
shows and don't have
the health-care benefits
afforded other indus-
tries. We will help those
people become teachers


in our VCAFI educational
schools and give semi-
nars on how not to get
injured. Their experience
and supreme sacrifice
will be turned around to
help others. Ultimately,
we will perform that ser-
vice for the large retired
circus community here
in Venice and elsewhere
as we grow.
Our grant-writing
committee has a goal of
submitting two grants
per month beginning in
February. I spoke with
Sarah Pappas of the
Selby Foundation and
we will submit a Selby
capital grant Feb. 1. We
are also submitting an
April cycle grant with
Gulf Coast Community
Foundation. We have
sought and received the
Gulf Coast Community
Foundation's help with
planning our upcoming
events.
My message to our
supporters and also to
our detractors is, don't
count us out because we
have been slow out of
the gate. This has been
a learning process for
many of us but with the
help of Gulf Coast Com-
munity Foundation and
others who are begin-
ning to step forward,
we hope to succeed and
return to Venice a major


performing arts venue
that can accommodate
shows too big for Venice
Theatre, the Venice Com-
munity Center, the new
Venice High School Per-
forming Arts Center and
the Van Wezel Performing
Arts Center.
We will not be in
competition with any of
those entities. Instead,
we hope to be an orga-
nization that can benefit
the greater South County
area in many ways,
including new jobs and
increased tourist dollars
that will come in with
visitors to our produc-
tions, classes and other
endeavors.
The economic impact
of the circus was well
documented and it was
here just a few months
each year from 1968
to 1992. The economic
impact of a performing
arts center/civic center
with nearly 5,000 seats
that can be used year-
round is even greater.
It is a shame the Venice
Economic Develop-
ment Advisory Board
does not understand
that the arena is not in
competition with the
new and much smaller
performing arts center
but actually would help
it gain shows, too. The
high school facility is


first and foremost for the
students. The arena will
be first and foremost for
everyone.
To the Economic
Development Advisory
Board: We are sorry you
have withdrawn sup-
port for our project.
But it's difficult to miss
something that has
never been present, like
resources or support
through your group's
experience base. I am
not aware of VCAFI
receiving any support
like that from your
group in the past.
I would like to thank
each and every one of
you who has supported
VCAFI in the past. Thank
you to our volunteers
and their families. You're
the reason we continue
with our goal of saving
an old but well-built
arena for a new life that
will inject new life into
this area at a time when
that is needed.
For anyone interested
in group tours of 10 or
more inside the Venice
arena, please contact us
at 941-485-7675. More
info is available at www.
venicecircusarts.com.

I LETTERS FROM OUR READERS


Lots of questions
Editor:
Local salaries creep up,
as published in California
recently. Bill City found
out its manager had qui-
etly moved up to $750,000
a year and the police chief
was at about $450,000.
The manager of Solano
County, a farming area,
was at about $450,000.
Folks were not happy.

manager again at about
$150,000 plus perks, no
doubt. Forget the discus-
sion on why the need
exists.
Could the paper pub-
lish the salaries of all the
department heads, etc.?
The folks in Venice would
no doubt be surprised
where their taxes are
going. (Schools also.)
Are all the churches
in Venice off the tax
base? Are other church


American Continental


Althea's


buildings also off the tax
base?
Is there any chance
Pelican Pointe, Jacaranda
and South Venice will
ever be in Venice?
Once in awhile I feel
this needs to be brought
to the attention of resi-
dents through the paper.

Booker nips Venice in OT


By PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR

Venice got a chance to see
how far its team has progressed
since the beginning of the
season.
From indications, it's pretty
far.
In the second game of the sea-
son on Dec. 1, Booker trounced
the Indians by 30 points.
On Tuesday, the Tornadoes
needed a fourth-quarter rally to
edge Venice, 58-55, in overtime
on Senior Night at Venice High.
"I thought we played well,"
said Venice coach James Slaton.
"That team gives you a lot of
problems because they are so
fast. They are long. They have
shooters and they have a big kid.
They have guys who can drive
it. They cause a lot of problems.
They are as talented as anybody
we play. We went to their place
and lost by 30. Of course we
wanted to win the game, but it
shows how far we have come
this year. Their coach said before
the game said you guys are the
hottest team in the area. We
have come a long, long way."
Venice led by as many 12
points in the first quarter and
didn't trail until late in the fourth
quarter.
The Indians (12-11) led 46-42
after with 4:41 left on a layup by
Venice senior Zach Flerlage, who
led the Indians with 29 points.
Flerlage is one of five seniors
who played their last regular-
season home game. The other
seniors are Davis Martin, Nate
Curtner, Austin McCumber and
David Voigt.

from the outside and scored
eight straight points in a span


of 1:20 including two straight
3-pointers to give the Tornadoes


(11-11) a 50-46 lead with 2:31
remaining.
Missed foul shots hurt Venice
especially in the final two min-
utes of the game as the Indians
missed 3-of-4 from the stripe.
"Foul shots are one of those
things we work hard on," said
Slaton. "Also one of those things,
good shooting teams have a
night where they don't hit a lot."
Venice went 7-of-17 from the
foul line.
"That is big," said Slaton.
With 25.3 seconds left, Flerlage
hit one of two from the line to
give the Indians a 52-50 lead.
Booker pushed the ball up court
and Jamal Gaines drove down
the lane and scored a tying layup
with 14.8 second on the clock.
Gaines led Booker with 24
points.
Venice had a chance but lost
the ball on the dribble to send
the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Tornadoes
scored two quick baskets in the
first minute of the four-minute
overtime for a 56-52 lead.
Venice's Chris Hann scored
on layup with 3:07 left and the
Indians had a chance to tie it but
made only one of two foul shots
with 2:17 remaining.
The Indians had chances to
take the lead but couldn't.
Booker's Jones hit both ends
of an one-on-one foul situa-
tion with 9.8 seconds left to give
Booker a 58-55 advantage.
The Indians' Dillon Marksbury
took the last-second 3-pointer
from the top of the key with a
hand in his face but the ball fell
short.

GIRLS BASKETBALL CLASS 7A-DISTRICT 11 QUARTERFINAL


Venice routs Manatee, advances to semis


By PERRY D. PENTZ
SPORTS EDITOR

A quick lead and rest
for his starters.
That's what Venice
coach John Flynn wanted
in the Lady Indians' Class
7A-District 11 quarter-
final against Manatee
Monday at Venice High.
The third-seeded Lady
Indians used a big first
half en route to a 48-23
over the No. 6 Lady Hur-
ricanes to advance to the
district semifinals.


Venice plays at No. 2
Sarasota, which received
a bye in the first round, at
7 tonight in one semifi-
nal. In the other semifi-
nal, No. 1 Port Charlotte
hosts No. 4 Charlotte,
which defeated No. 5
Braden River, 55-45 Mon-
day. Semifinal winners
play for the district title
Friday.
With 7:07 left in the
first quarter, Venice
trailed 2-1. The Lady
Indians (12-14) pro-
ceeded to outscore the


Lady Hurricanes 14-2 the
rest of the quarter.
Senior Laura Hackett
scored six of her game-
high 14 points in the
quarter as the Lady Indi-
ans connected on 6 of 10
foul shots.
Venice forced 12 turn-
overs in the first quarter.
"I think we played OK,"
said Flynn. "We had a
plan to come out and
attack them. Double-
team where we can and
push them. They don't
really dribble the ball


very well."
The Lady Indians
continued to pressure
Manatee (5-19) and
scored in bunches. Venice
outscored Manatee 17-5
in the second quarter
to grab a 32-9 halftime
cushion.
"I didn't want to hang
around very long," said
Flynn. "I just wanted to
get it over with and under
control. Get Hackett
and Hannah (Revels) off
the floor and keep them
healthy and rested. They


are playing so many min-
utes that I was able to get
them good rest tonight."
Flynn emptied his
bench as his starters only
played three quarters.
"Everybody got good
minutes and the young
kids played a lot," said
Flynn.
Freshman Taira Ward
had a career night against
the Lady Hurricanes.
Ward scored a season-
high 12 points and was

Venice rallies over North Port


By ROB SHORE
SPORTS WRITER

For the second straight
game the fourth quarter
was kind to Venice.
A day after rallying
for a win over Sarasota,
the Indians did it again
against North Port Satur-
day in a nondistrict game
at Venice High.
"I just thought our
defense hunkered down
and we rebounded well
in the second half," said
Venice coach James Slaton.


"In the first half they were
getting second shots."
On Friday, Venice ral-
lied from a 11-point defi-
cit to pull out a one-point
victory.
Against the Bobcats,
Venice trailed 31-18
with 4:40 left in the third
quarter then the Indians
turned up the defen-
sive intensity. Venice
forced seven North Port
turnovers in the fourth
quarter and limited
the Bobcats to 2-for-11i
shooting.


The Indians opened the
fourth quarter with a 21-2
run, catching the Bobcats
flat in an impressive per-
formance. Venice senior
Zach Flerlage scored 15 of
his 25 points in the fourth
quarter. Junior Chris
Hann finished with 18
points total.
The Indians connected
on 14 of 18 foul shots in
the fourth quarter to salt
the game away.
"We're shooting 75 per-
cent from the line," Slaton
said. "In high school,


that's as good as it gets."
Seeing the Indians'
clinical performance in
the second half was nice
for Slaton.
The Bobcats played one
of their worst halves of the
season in the loss, leading
by 13 in the third quarter
before a motivated Indi-
ans squad rallied for the
win in the fourth quarter.
North Port star Larry
Taylor fouled out with
4:03 to short circuit any
kind of comeback, look-
ing stunned as he was


called for a reach-in foul
on Hann.
The Indians finished
with 27 points in the
fourth quarter against a
Bobcats team that takes
great pride in its defense.
"We guarded well early
and had a 13-point lead,"
said North Port coach
Curt Allen. "We just
missed shots, layups and
threes. Larry fouling out
with five minutes to play
doesn't help."
Taylor led North Port
with 20 points.


The Bobcats held a
22-9 halftime edge on the
boards en route to grab-
bing a 22-15 at the break.
Flerlage and Hann were
limited to a combined 11
points in the first half.

Gutierrez got a takedown

"I knew he was going

Ullrich. "I was trying to

"Larsen has always been

Early this year, Ullrich
took third in the East Lake

the Captain Archer Memo-
rial Invitational.
Three other Venice
wrestlers -Zach Kelly,
Garrett Johnson, Quinton
O'Brien advanced to the
championship finals but
dropped their matches to
place second.
At 106 pounds, Kelly, a
freshman, was wrestling in
his first tournament since
December when a broken
hand sidelined him.
Kelly (21-3) dropped a
5-2 decision to Radley Gillis
of Archbishop McCarthy.
Gillis (29-7) scored
a takedown in the first
period then an escape and
takedown in the second
period for a 5-0 lead. Kelly
reversed in the second,

The 18-hole scramble

start. An awards banquet


then was held down in the
entire third period by Gillis.
"He is definitely a little
bit rusty; I can tell," said
his dad and coach. "He
has a little trouble on bot-
tom because of his hand
strength. He got better as
the day went on. I thought
he did an OK job. That kid
(Gillis)was very tough and
ranked in the top 15."
In the 195-pound final,
Johnson took on the top-
ranked 1A wrestler in Uni-
versity Christian's Josh Fox,
who was state runner-up at
189 pounds in Class 2A for
Ridgeview last year.
After a scoreless first
period, Fox controlled
Johnson and turned him
for two back points with
three seconds left in the
second period.
"Garrett was about a
hair from getting reversal
in the second period,"
said Kelly. "If he gets that
reversal he goes up 2-0.
More than likely the kid
gets away and he's up
2-1 and he could have
wrestled him differently. I
don't think the kid could
have taken him down.

Instead, the kid gets two
quick back points. It
changed the match."
Fox got an escape and
a takedown in the third
period for a 5-0 victory.
"The kid was outstand-
ing," said Kelly. "One of
the best top wrestlers
Garrett has wrestled.
Have to remember that
kid took second in state
in 2A last year and Gar-
rett didn't even make it
to states. That is how far
he has come. He is losing
close matches."
At 285 pounds, O'Brien,
who only weighs 217
pounds, lost by a second-
period pin to Gulf Coast's
Mitch Haan, who has a
36-5 record.
Venice's Matt Parker
(113 pounds), CJ Tram-

Carello (220) came back
from semifinal losses to
win their last matches to

Going 4-1 on the day

Feeling like a

teenager again after

da Vinci surgery.

She was only 42, but had been living with certain
embarrassing and painful conditions since the age of 30.
She felt 70.
Frequent bathroom trips disrupted her day. She couldn't
work out without wearing a pad and wore sweats to
hide potential mishaps. Her jeans weren't fitting, she
hardly recognized her own body and was experiencing
intermittent pelvic pain. "This is what being old must
feel like," she thought. Sandy Searles couldn't ignore her
problem any longer.
As a nurse and the daughter of an OB/GYN, she knew
what women went through with traditional hysterectomy
surgery, and wanted no part of it. But, board certified
gynecologist Dr. Michael Wolpmann told Sandy about
a new technology that resulted in minimal pain, very
minimal scarring and much quicker recoveries. The da
Vinci Surgical System is a robotic-assisted technology that
allows surgeons to operate four robotic arms for greater
control and ultimate precision. Venice Regional Medical
Center offers this advanced system as a minimally invasive
alternative to traditional open surgery.
Sandy's results were everything he'd indicated. "My body
felt tired, but I wasn't in pain," she said. After being
hospitalized overnight, she was home and walking the next
day-in spite of having major surgery.
"I tell people Dr. da Vinci did my surgery," she joked.
But she knows it was Dr. Wolpmann's skill and training
with the equipment that made her surgical experience
so positive.
Today, she no longer suffers from any pelvic pain, has
her old body back and fits nicely into her old jeans. She's
exercising for the first time without wearing a pad, and can
wear cool workout clothing. Her tiny incisions are hardly
noticeable and fading fast. By summer, she'll be in a two-
piece swim suit again. "It completely changed me," she said.
"I feel like a teenager again."
Contact Venice Regional for more information about
daVinci surgery at 1-855-VRMC-DOC.

Venice Theatre preps for world premiere


By KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR

April 3, Venice Theatre
will open the world
premiere of the comedy
"Stand By Your Van," by
Paul Bourne and Craig
Baxter of the United
Kingdom.
Bourne and Baxter are
creating a new show based
on a show of the same
name created in England.
The story's premise is
based on actual contests
in which contestants stand
by a car or van, touching
it with the palm of at least
one hand for as many days
as it takes until there is just
one person remaining with
a hand completely touch-
ing the vehicle.
"It's a good show,"
Venice Theatre's executive
director Murray Chase
said. "We've gotten the
first draft and made com-
ments. Feb. 18 we get the
working draft we will use
for building the set."
Bourne, a professional
theater director who
resides in Cambridge,
England, was one of the
three adjudicators when
Venice Theatre hosted
the American Association
of Community Theatre's
International Theatre
Festival in June 2010. He
and Baxter came to Venice
in November to supervise
initial auditions for the
new version. Several of
the characters who will
be in the new show were
developed in that ini-
tial audition, lending an
entirely different flavor to
Venice Theatre's version of
the play, which will have
six different endings.
Cramer Toyota of Venice
is adding a touch of its
own to the new show.
In addition to lending a
Toyota Tacoma pickup
truck to be used onstage
for the production, Cramer
also is sharing in the dona-
tion of a brand-new 2012
Scion iQ with longtime
Venice Theatre volunteer
Sally Lowry. Lowry made
the donation in memory
of her late husband, also a
longtime volunteer.
The car will go to some-
one in the audience during
the show's April 3-22 run.
There will be a drawing at
each show and the winners
of those drawings will be
invited back for the final
performance, when one of
them will win the new car.
During the November
auditions, the actors por-
trayed characters they sug-
gested and several of them
won parts right away.
"I wrote my own part,"
Bennett Gross said.
Gross will portray an
older man named Sonny
who wants to win the truck
as a legacy for his children.
He has nothing else to
leave them when he dies
and looks at this as his


English theatrical director Paul Bourne was in Venice last fall to
conduct tryouts for a new Venice Theatre production entitled
"Stand By Your Van," which will have its world premiere on the
main stage April 3. It is primarily being written by Craig Baxter,
also of England, with input from Bourne and Murray Chase,
executive director of Venice Theatre.


only chance to do some-
thing for them. Gross sug-
gested the concept during
the November audition.
Ross Boeringer got the
part of a guy who is a
truck expert even though
he has never driven one.
That concept also grew
from the audition process.
Ron Myroup, Venice
Theatre's resident play-
wright, was offered the
role of a soldier who
seems to have been
damaged in the war. The
soldier has a heart of gold.
Allie Pinkerton earned
the role of a graduate stu-
dent who is writing a the-
sis on sleep deprivation.
Any contestant standing
by the truck for more than
a day likely would experi-
ence such symptoms.
Kenzie Balliet will
portray a pregnant high
school student who needs
the truck to transport her
future child.
Kay Cosby will portray
Connie, an evangelical
Christian who is intent on
winning the truck for Jesus.
Lynn Doyle will portray an
employee of the car dealer
- a reluctant showgirl.
Nancy Denton will por-
tray Diana, a woman who
claims to have a perfect
marriage. At first it seems
as though she is just there
for something to do and
could afford to buy the
truck if she really wanted
to. As the play evolves, so
does her character, and
the audience will learn
that the woman's life may
not be so idyllic after all.
Lynn Buhl, who is
known for her comedic
skills when not working in
the box office, will portray
another Pollyanna-like
character. Her character


is a senior citizen who
doesn't seem to have a
negative bone in her body.
But once she becomes
involved in the contest, a
ruthless streak emerges.
The role of the car
dealer was only recently
awarded. The part will be
played by Daniel Greene,
who has a gift for comedy
and has performed many
roles at Venice Theatre.
Bourne described the
car dealer as a crucial char-
acter to the story. Everyone
who auditioned in Novem-
ber was invited to read the
dealer's opening speech,
which outlines the basic
rules of the contest:
Contestants must "keep
one hand on the truck
at all times." There is no
sitting, no squatting, no
leaning on the truck, no
sleeping, no pushing, no
shoving and no intimida-
tion. Everyone gets a five-
minute break each hour
and a 15-minute break
every six hours. Those
breaks are the only breaks
anyone gets and the only
time they can go to the
bathroom or eat or drink.
"You wanna get your
hands on this truck?"
the car dealer says in the
script, "you gotta keep
your hand on the truck."
The characters will be
a diverse lot, if that first
audition is a clue. Minor
or even major changes
could be made to these
and other characters as
the play evolves.
Potential additional
characters include a
professional woman, a gay
man, an ardent environ-
mentalist, a fake street guy,
a local mayor, a nurse, a
homeless person, a former
politician and a doctor

who is an expert on sleep.
On Monday, Chase said
the changes made so far
were mostly idiomatic, the
difference between Ameri-
can and British English. He
used the word "ain't" as an
example Brits may see in
films. It actually is not used
a lot here, Chase said.
Following the initial
auditions, Bourne and
Baxter returned to England
to create the script for Ven-
ice Theatre's production.
Baxter worked on earlier
versions of the show and
will be the primary script-
writer for Venice Theatre's
version. Every time the
play is produced anywhere
else, that "world premiere
in Venice" tag will be on
the script.
Bourne will return
March 1 for final casting,
rehearsals and staging of
the show.
While cast members
will not have to keep
their hands on the truck
for 107 hours straight,
which Bourne said is the
record, they will have to
stand for awhile with at
least one hand fully on
the truck. For some of
the auditioning actors,


it proved challenging to
keep a hand on the table
being used as the truck
for even a few minutes.
Some actors like to talk
with their hands. That
doesn't work well with this
scenario.
"The nightmarish part
is if somebody takes his
hands off the truck and
is supposed to be in the
competition for another
half hour," Bourne said.
"The actors have to stay in
character."
An interesting part
of the unfolding story
includes such thoughts as,
if you don't win, then who
should?
That could inspire a
substory in which people
even work together or
pretend to work together.
"It becomes a game of
chess," Bourne said. "There
are six main characters and
six different winners."
During tryouts the actors
did some improvisational
skits based on various
scenarios that could occur
during the contest.
Bourne attended several
such contests in England
while researching the orig-
inal version of the show.


"Some give up early
on," he said, "but after 40
hours you don't want to
have wasted your time."
There are scenes on
the truck and scenes that
occur during breaks.
For the audience, the
best scene could be the
one at the end of the final
show when someone
drives home in Toyota's
version of the Smart car,
the 2012 Scion iQ.
"Stand by Your Van"
opens April 3 on Venice
Theatre's main stage.
Opening Feb. 3 in the
Yvonne T. Pinkerton The-
atre, home of Stage II and
Cabaret productions, is
"Altar Boyz." See a preview
story about that show in

ing on performance day.

The bidding has proceeded:
SOUTH WEST NORTH
10 Pass 14

What do you bid now?


EAST
Pass


A Had you held a fourth spade, your
hand would be good enough for a
jump raise of partner's suit. As it is,
the best you can do for the moment is
bid two clubs. If partner takes any
action, raise spades next.

Q 2 Both vulnerable, as South you
hold:

SAK Q98YJ760 K65496

The bidding has proceeded:
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
14 Pass 26 20

What action do you take?

A You have a minimum opening bid
with tolerance for partner's suit, but
what do you want to do? Partner's
two-over-one response has promised
another bid, so pass and see what he
does. His rebid should solve your
problem.

Q 3 Neither vulnerable, as South
you hold:

A 763 ( K10763 0AQ 9*.T87

The bidding has proceeded:
NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST
10 Pass 1) Pass
20 Pass ?
What do you bid now?

A Your double fit has enhanced the
value of your hand. However, do not
make the lazy bid of three hearts. Bid
three diamonds and give partner
specific information that might help
him reach the right decision.

Q 4 Both vulnerable, as South you
hold:

The bidding has proceeded:
NORTH EAST SOUTH
10 Pass 1V
1NT Pass ?
What do you bid now?


WEST
Pass


A It is a close decision between a
jump to game in hearts or no trump.
Let partner make the decision -
jump to three hearts. If he bids three
no trump, that's the spot.

Q 5 Neither vulnerable, as South
you hold:

4 K87 QJ9540 Void 6 10 8 6 5 3


The bidding has proceeded:
NORTH EAST SOUTH
10 Pass 1IV
20 Pass ?
What do you bid now?


WEST
Pass


A You have a dead minimum
responding hand with little or no help
for partner. However, you know he
has at least a six-card diamond suit,
perhaps longer, so don't try to
improve the contract there is little
hope of finding a better spot. Pass.

Q 6 Both vulnerable, as South you
hold:

4 A85 J106520 64Q1095


The bidding has proceeded:
NORTH EAST SOUTH
10 Pass 1V

What action do you take?


WEST
Pass


A As far as we're concerned, to try
to find any contract better than three
no trump is asking for trouble.
However, if you cannot resist the
impulse to take some other action and
you hold a gun to our head, we will
accept three clubs.

Literary fest date

changes

It is no longer almost time for the new literary festival in Venice.
The date has been changed. This inaugural event will now be
April 7, which is the day before Easter. A side benefit is that if
you are bringing children to Centennial Park in downtown Venice for
the annual East Egg roll, you can stay on and pick up some
wonderful children' books for them on the same excursion.
For everyone else, it will mean the likelihood of better weather
and definitely more vendors and a bigger event. Mark your calendar
now.
While you are waiting for that, there are plenty of other things
to do such as tomorrow's open rehearsal of the Venice Sym-
phony conducted by Kenneth Bowermeister. Only the venue
and the musicians are the same. The rehearsal is at the Venice
Church of the Nazarene, 1535 E. Venice Ave., from 6:45 p.m.
to 9:15 p.m.The different part is that there is no cost and you
can dress casually. Bring the kids and your out-of-town visitors.
Come when you like and live when you like. That sentence is
word for word from the press release. I would suggest that
you come and go as quietly as possible so as not to disturb

Tour Venice history


by trolley


AL


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
The more one learns about history, the
easier it is to understand the present.
That is especially true in the John
Nolen-planned city of Venice. One of the best
ways to learn about the city's illustrious and
not-so-illustrious past is on a Historic Venice
Trolley Tour.
Tours depart at 9:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. on
four Saturdays, beginning Feb. 11. Always sold
out early, these tours begin and end at the
historic Triangle Inn, which is the home of the
Venice Archives and Area Historical Collection.
The trolley ride passes through key parts
of the downtown area, including Venice Avenue,
which, for a time, in the 1920s was
considered the most beautiful boulevard
in Florida.
Docents point out such historic landmarks
as the Venice Center Mall, which from
1932 to 1970 served as a dormitory for
the old Kentucky Military Institute and prior to
that was the old San Marco Hotel.
Nearby and also featured on the tour is the
Summit at Venice (an assisted living facil-
ity), which was constructed first as the Hotel
Venice. Its twin, known as the Park View Hotel,
was built on the site of the present post office in
downtown Venice.
The tour continues along West Venice Avenue
to the beach, passing the three largest and most
historic homes on that street. Other major homes
to be seen include two that are today being run
as bed and breakfasts Banyan House on
Harbor Drive and Horse and Chaise on Ponce de

Leon Avenue.
Other historic homes in the vicinity of Venezia
Park and along Nassau Street are pointed out
as the tour returns to the inn, having covered
the high points of the John Nolen plan which
was just named to the National Register of
Historic Places after several years of work
by former city archivist Dorothy Korwek.
Korwek's new book, "John Nolen
Plan of Venice, Florida" is for sale at
the Triangle Inn, which is not open on
trolley tour days. That means another trip to
the inn but it is worth it. The book is $69.95.
While at the inn, visit its exhibit about
famous orthopedic surgeon Dr. Fred Albee
(1878-1945) and a current exhibit of pioneer-
era needlework. Albee is the man who hired
Nolen to design the city of Venice. He sold the
plan and some 1,400 acres of property that is
today the heart of the city, to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
The BLE became the developer of record until
the Florida land boom ended and the Great De-
pression began.Yet the heart of Venice remained
even after most of its residents left. That heart
and the Nolen plan led to several rebirths nudged
along by the arrival of the KMI and the
U.S. Army Air Corps.
Docents also mention Venice Theatre, which is
considered one of the top three community the-
aters in the United States and the airport, which,
during World War II, was used for pilot training in

VAN WEZEL PEFORMING ARTS HALL
After last season's quick sell-out concert
Sarasota's favorite outspoken country
superstar, Willie Nelson returns to the Van
Wezel Performing Arts Hall at 8 p.m. Friday.
Nelson is still one of the most talented and
prolific musicians out there, as he proves time
and again with new releases like "Here We Go
Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles"
with Wynton Marsalis and Norah Jones. The
album features songs that Charles put on the
musical map, including "Hallelujah I Love Her So,"
"Hit the Road Jack," and "What'd I Say," with fresh
arrangements written with the inspired influences


of gospel two-beat, boogaloo, country ballad,
bolero, hard bop, r&b, waltz and 4/4 swing. In
May, as part of Universal Music's ICON series
Nelson's compilation included "My Own Peculiar
Way" (Teatro, Island Records, 1998), live cuts of
"On the Road Again" and a rendition of "Crazy"
featuring Diana Krall and Elvis Costello.
A Nashville artist in the '60s, Nelson has
penned more than a few American classics-
"Crazy," "Night Life" and the sublime "Funny How
Time Slips Away." But that was just the prologue
for the iconoclastic singer-songwriter, who redrew
the borders of country music in the '70s after
moving back to Texas and settling in the musical
melting pot of Austin.


Many annuity owners are positioned to lose a significant portion of their annuity's
value to taxes, and most are not even aware of the problem. The IRS is not required
to notify annuity owners about an exemption to the tax code that could save
thousands of dollars in income and estate taxes.
A complimentary booklet is available that shows current annuity owners how to avoid
mistakes and possibly save thousands! This complimentary booklet creates an
awareness around the most costly annuity owner mistakes and provides tips and
strategies to help you make the most of your hard-earned assets.
Call (800) 577-0397 today to get your no-cost, no-obligation copy of the 16-page
"Guide to Avoiding Common Annuity Mistakes" and learn how to potentially:
*Avoid paying unnecessary taxes I
* Increase your retirement income by properly
handling your annuity


* Avoid mistakes that could cost you or your
beneficiaries thousands do dollars

Along with fellow traveler Waylon Jennings,
Nelson was labeled the outlaw of the genre, but
he was more visionary than rebel, especially with
the way he attracted rock fans to take a closer
look at country. Celebrated for work with buddies
Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Kris
Kristofferson, Nelson scaled even greater chart
heights by singing, improbably enough, with Julio
Iglesias (To All the Girls I Loved Before").

'Altar Boyz" opens at

the Venice Theatre


BY KIM COOL
FEATURES EDITOR
Longtime off-Broadway hit "Altar Boyz" opens
Friday at Venice Theatre where it will play
through March 4 in the YvonneT. Pinkerton
Theatre.
This will be the final cabaret performance of
the season in the space which also is the home of
Stage II productions and other shows that benefit
from being produced in its intimate 90-seat space.
"Altar Boyz" pokes fun at Christian rock bands
with such songs as "God Put the Rhythm in Me"
and "Jesus Called Me on my Cell Phone."' One of
the longest-running off-Broadway shows, "Altar
Boyz" earned many awards for its 90-minute
performances that are filled with spirit and energy
- both vocal and choreographic.
The Venice production is being directed and
choreographed by Steven Flaa who also directed
the show in 2009 at American Stage in St. Peters-
burg. The cast includes two performers from that


show Dick Baker as Matthew and Bradley Vile*
as Mark. Luke is being played by Matty Colonna
who was the lead in the Stage II production of
"Spring Awakening" earlier this season. Juan, or
John, is being played by Albert Jennings, who just
completed the main stage run of "Smokey Joe's
Cafe." Recite these character's names in order.
Also in the cast is Nidal Zarour as Abraham. He
too has been in several Venice Theatre produc-
tions in recent years.
Drew Rienstra is the music director and
costumes are by Ross Boerhinger with sound by
Dorian Boyd and lighting, scenery and technical
direction by John Andzulis.
Venice Theatre is at 140 W.Tampa Ave., on the
island in downtown Venice.
Shows will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are
$12-$15 for students and $24-$27 for adults. Visit
www.venicestage.com or call the box office at
941-488-1115.

A historic night for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra


PHOTO PROVIDED
Saturday's Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
concert will include Mantovani classics like
"Moon River,""Til There Was You,""Autumn
Leaves,""La Vie En Rose" and more.


PROVIDED BY THE CHARLOTTE SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA
Toshimasa Francis Wada has had a lifelong
love for Annunzio Paolo Mantovani.
It began a half century ago, and
started as a dream, when Maestro Wada, now
music director of the Charlotte Symphony
Orchestra, was 15 years old in his hometown,
Kiryu, Japan, when, he said, "I was first intro-
duced to Mantovani's recordings and I fell in love
instantly."
He was so enthralled with the music that he
sought permission to hold an outdoor listening
concert of Mantovani recordings in a park. He or-
ganized a group of boys to bring stereo speakers
from their homes, hang them from trees and wire
them around the park on Friday nights during the
summer months.
People flocked to listen as Mantovani's
iconic cascading strings and soft, muted
trumpet, including the orchestra's signature
composition, Charmaine, wafted through the
trees and enveloped the park, from 78 rpm
records.
"It became very popular," Wada remembers,
"and I still have the same emotional feeling today
when I listen to his music."
That is the beginning of the story of how the
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra will record history
Saturday night at the Charlotte Performing Arts
Center in Punta Gorda, as the only orchestra
outside the Mantovani Orchestra, ever to perform
a full concert of Mantovani music.
The concert will include Mantovani classics like
"Moon River," "Til There WasYou," "Love is a Many
Splendored Thing," "Some Enchanted Evening,"
"Tonight" and "Charmaine."
The evening is the fulmination of a long time

Louie's Bicycles: A North Port tradition


BY JON BAUMANN
SUN CORRESPONDENT
For Lonny Ammaz, who, along with his wife
Tracy, started Louie's Bicycles in 1992, it's
always been about family.
"I'm more family bike shop oriented. The
newbies that have never ridden," Lonny said.,
"A lot of retirees come in. I assist them finding
the type of bike they're going to be most com-
fortable on for the type of riding that they're
going to do."
Lonny learned the bicycle business from his
father, Louie, who started a successful bicycle
shop in Venice almost 40 years ago. It was only
natural on many different levels that Lonny
kept the same name when he opened his own
place. Lonny knows what it takes to last 20
years in competition with the big box stores
that offer bikes.
"I don't have the buying power that they have
but normally you'll get better quality bikes from
me and better service," Lonny said, "If you're a
customer of mine, I'll remember your name." Un-
fortunately it's easier to remember names when
there are less of them walking in the door. "Last
year I sold probably 350 bikes," Lonny said. "Back
before the economy went south, I was averaging
over 500 bikes a year."
While the economy has taken its' toll on ev-
eryone everywhere, if you're going to own a bike
shop, southern Florida is a good location to own
it. "Everybody's living longer. The Baby Boomers
are coming down. They're staying more active,"
Lonny added. "One of the first things they do is
ride a bike down here."
These days bikes have come a long way since
the days of our youth. There are recumbent


.. -


bikes, with a smaller front wheel than back wheel.
"They're sort of like riding from a Lazyboy. You're
using different muscles than you are in a regu-
lar bicycle," Lonny said. "It's more comfortable
for older riders. People who have bad backs
find that they can ride these rather than not
ride at all."
Some of the other types include three wheel-
ers for adults, road bikes, BMX bikes all types
to make the customer, whatever customer, old or
young, man or woman, happy.
The cost is relative to what the buyer wants.
"Most expensive are the road bikes," Lonny
explained, "What makes them high end is the
materials they're made out of. They came out
in the past year with electronic shifters.
I always wait a year or two before I
purchase that type of stuff so they get
all the kinks worked out."
Lonny also carries a complete line of
dart supplies at the shop in what is truly
one of his greatest passions. "It's a very small
percentage of my business. I've been playing
since the early eighties," Lonny said. "I used to be
a football fanatic, but that kind of died out."
The key to buying darts, through all the differ-
ent brands and all the different names is to find
a set that you like, but like anything recreational,
cost can be a factor.
"There's a league in Englewood that I shoot in.
At one time we were over 20 teams.
Now with this economy, we're down to five
teams," Lonny pointed out. "People just don't
have the disposable income that they had
a few years ago."
Still, Louie's Bicycles and owner Lonny Ammaz
continue to be a mainstay in North Port.

l4 Vr 1 $rPunta Gorda Wine &Jazz Festival *


Punta


Gorda


Wine


Festival


It is hard to believe just how far the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce's Annual
Wine & Jazz Festival has come in its seven years of existence. Each year, we build on the previous
year's advancement and 2012 is set to be the biggest and best ever.
For the first time in its history, each performer on stage will be a headliner in their own right.
They have all appeared at least once on the Punta Gorda stage already and have built a rapport
with the local crowds. The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman first came to the Punta Gorda
Wine & Jazz Festival back in 2008, when the festival was still in its infancy and was hosted at
Gilchrist Park. Peter White made his mark on the Laishley Park stage in 2010, when he starred
with co-headliner Mindi Abair, who this year will be marking her fourth triumphant return to the
city she once called home! Mindi, last year, shared the stage with award-winning artist David
Benoit, on what turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon.
Created by James Roland back in 2006, the Punta Gorda Wine & Jazz Festival has since gone on
to win two major tourism awards in 2010 and again this year and the organizers and sponsors are
looking forward to another magical day of some of the very best of jazz around on Saturday
February 18th 2012 in Laishley Park. Since the line-up was announced, back in April 2011,
tickets, especially the VIP and Premium levels, have been in demand. Bythe end of May, no more
VIP tickets were available and by the end of October 2011, Premium tickets were to follow suit.


People travel from all over the county and beyond for this festival" reported John Wright, President of the Punta Gorda
Chamber. "Each year, it feels so good to receive an email order and immediately recognize the purchaser's name and their home
state! 2012 will be no exception. Guests will be arriving from Wisconsin, Texas, Maine, Michigan in fact last year every state
was represented in the park. The economic impact on the area of this festival is significant. Many of the festival-goers stay in
locals hotels for an extended number of nights. Restaurants and retailers pick up on the added number of visitors and the city and
county benefit from the added gas tax revenues. So all of this compliments the Chamber's Mission "to promote commerce in
Punta Gorda", said Charlotte County Tourism Director, Lorah Steiner, "We're fortunate to have such a well-organized, high-
quality event in Charlotte County. The Wine and Jazz Festival is a gem that provides local residents an opportunity to some of the
nation's best jazz musicians. It also shines a regional and national spotlight on our community."
It has long been the desire of the organizers to add extra days and elements to the Festival. In 2010, a VIP ticket holder reception
was added, coinciding with the opening of the new downtown parking garage -aka Herald Court Centre. Peter White was the
first artist to attend the VIP reception as he used it to get to know the many characters he saw up close and personal the
following afternoon. The 2011 reception moved over to the Visual Arts Center, who was celebrating their 50th Anniversary at the
time. We are pleased to say that they will again host the VIP reception this year, as VIP guests are treated to an opportunity to
hear live jazz musicians, generously provided by VIP sponsor Presley Beane Financial Advisors, meet their fellow ticket holders
and, depending on flight arrivals, the opportunity to greet the headlining artists as well.

The festival itself kicks off at Laishley Park on Saturday February 18th. The park opens at 12:30pm (approximately -
subject to completion of soundchecks). As soon as the stage is clear, patrons will be allowed in. No coolers or pets to this event
please. Mindi Abair will be the first to take the stage around Ipm. Peter White will make his entry at 2:45pm (approximately)
and the Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman will go on around 4:15pm. Although it cannot be guaranteed, in years past,
headliners have all created a special ensemble finale and that is again our hope this year. All artists will attend the merchandise
arena to sign autographs and CDs. The festival ticket includes all entertainment, food samples from a wide array of local
restaurants, wine samples from visiting wine distributors and beer, provided by Peace River Distributing. Water, courtesy of
Kinetico Quality Water Systems and sodas will also be on hand. All you need is sunscreen, a lawn chair (n/a for VIP and Premium
ticket holders) and a warm smile, as this will be a day you will remember for a long time. We do offer a number of folding chairs
for your comfort on a first come, first served basis.
Again thanks to our friends at Presley Beane Financial Advisors, Sunday February 19th continues the jazz festival's weekend with
a special jazz brunch from 10.30am-2.pm brunch at the Isles Yacht Club. Tickets are limited to 200 people and can be purchased
along with festival tickets from the home page of http://www.puntagordachamber.com by clicking the online payment center for
$35.00. If, by chance, you are on the Wine & Jazz Festival Information page, please return to the home page first, to locate the
online payment center. Tickets will be mailed out on the next business day, if time allows, or will be held at the event location
WILL CALL desk on the day of the event. Last year, no festival tickets were available for purchase on the day of the event itself, so
please book early to avoid disappointment.
On Sunday February 19th, we return to Laishley Park for the final portion of the festival as local singing celebrity, Jim Morris and
His Big Bamboo Band takes our stage at Laishley Park at 3pm-6pm for a special "jazz-flavor" concert. Jim will be performing all
of his jazz favorites. Tickets for this concert are also available on the Chamber website for $20 (stage front) and $10 general
admission. As with Saturday, no coolers will be allowed in the park, however well-behaved canines are most welcome!
Refreshments and beverages will be available for purchase.
All In All, We Are Confident That 2012 Will Be Another Banner Year In The History Of The Wine & Jazz Festival.
It Only Begs The Question Where Do We Go From Here? Coming Soon!
,A special thanks to our sponsors, Charlotte Regional Medical Center, Seminole Casino, The Herald Tribune Media group,
Community Self Storage, Doris Limousine Services, Fourpoints By Sheraton and Santhino's Restaurant.

The Rippingtons

Fans that have followed Russ Freeman
and The Rippingtons for any stretch of time over
the past quarter century know the versatile
award winning and Grammy nominated guitarist/
composer, and producer has long had a penchant
for naming songs and albums after exotic places
(Aruba, Kenya, Morocco, Weekend in Monaco,
Sahara, etc).
In recent years, Freeman has noticed that The
Rippingtons' fan base has increased exponentially,
as the group's longtime admirers transfer their
passion for the music to their children. Several
Rippingtons albums have been inspired by
Freeman's travels, and collectively, they have
formed the life soundtrack for hundreds of
thousands of contemporary jazz fans worldwide
for a quarter century.


The titles of each hit Ripps album has
often reflected Freeman's deep wanderlust, whether
he had actually been to the places he wrote about or
was just dreaming of them in musical terms. These
include Kilimanjaro, Tourist in Paradise, Welcome to
the St. James Club, Weekend In Monaco, Live in L.A.,
Sahara, Brave New World and Live Across America. In
2006, the band celebrated two decades of
instrumental magic with The Rippingtons 20th
Anniversary, a remarkable CD/DVD package that
included a CD of all new Ripps music and a DVD
featuring a colorful retrospective as well as exciting
videos from over the years.
On their latest Peak Records album, Russ Freeman
and The Rippingtons take their lucky fans on a trip of
a lifetime to Cote D'Azur. Traveling with them is their
trademark jazz cat, by artist Bill Mayer, who again
graces the CD cover art. Next time out, who knows?
Freeman's musical passport still has a lot of open
space to be stamped, and the journey continues!


Peter White


Growing up in the sleepy little English town of Letchworth Garden City in the I 960s, Peter White first
got interested in music while listening to the Beatles on the radio. His parents bought him an acoustic guitar when
he was about eight and he taught himself to play while simultaneously taking lessons on the recorder, piano and
then later, clarinet. His music education was going along just fine until one day in 1967 he heard the Jimi Hendrix
song "Purple Haze". We had never heard sounds like that coming out of his acoustic guitar and he decided that
from that day on, the electric guitar was to be the most important thing in his life. Losing his electric guitar in a
fire, set by his brother (!) proved to be a blessing he soon found lots of inspiration in the music of Crosby Stills
and Nash, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell who were all playing acoustic guitar based music. He started to carry that
guitar with him everywhere he went it became his best friend.
In 1990, having been a backup musician for I 5 years and inspired by the English group "Acoustic Alchemy", he decided to start recording his own music and
released his first CD "Reveillez-Vous", a French title in honor of his French mother, Gilberte. It means "Wake Up". Many other solo CDs followed, with several songs
becoming No. I hits on Smooth Jazz radio, such as "Midnight in Manhattan" a song he recorded with one of his idols, Grover Washington Jr. 2012 will see his
triumphant return to the Punta Gorda stage as he returns to the city for his second time. All the way from the UK- Mr. Peter White.

Mindi Abair
Saxophonist/Singer/Songwriter Mindi Abair has not only set sonic trends, but has broken all the boundaries as she continues to define
the less traditional future of jazz. Her own brand of pop and soul meets jazz adds a refreshingly unique voice to an exciting new generation of
crossover artists. Raised on the road with her father's band, she graduated from Berklee College of Music and headed to Los Angeles where she
became a sought after sideman. She signed to Verve Records in 2002 and never looked back. Her solo career has produced 10 #1 radio singles, and
her records have consistently topped the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts. She has hosted the internationally syndicated radio show "Chill With
Mindi Abair" for 5 years, and has successful 5 major label solo releases to her credit "It Just Happens That Way" (2003), "Come As You Are" (2004),
"Life Less Ordinary" (2006), "Stars" (2008), and "In Hi Fi Stereo" (2010). She is an elected governor for the Los Angeles Chapter of NARAS, and is
an Artist Ambassador for Campell's Labels for Education and The Grammy Foundation. She's been featured on this season of "American Idol" as a l
featured soloist with Paul McDonald and Casey Abrams, won Best International Instrumentalist at the 2011 Wave Awards in Toronto, and Best
Female Artist of the Year at the 2011 Oasis Contemporary Jazz Awards. She is a regular columnist for Wine and Jazz Magazine and author of the
book "How To Play Madison Square Garden A Guide To Stage Performance." The list of artists she has toured or recorded with are a testament to
her talent. They include the Keb' Mo', Lalah Hathaway, Duran Duran, Lee Ritenour, the Backstreet Boys, Mandy Moore, Adam Sandier, Max
Weinberg, Mocean Worker, Bill Champlin, Teena Marie, John Tesh, Sheila E, Bobby Lyle, Jonathan Butler, Peter White and Rick Braun. Four time
headliner at the Punta Gorda Wine & Jazz Festival has to be her major achievement!
"Mindi Abair is # I for her original sound, perfect melodies, grooves and overall sense of fun." Jazziz magazine
"Captivating...a distinctive sound and memorable melodies. Let's put it this way.. .Abair's one Apple commercial away from superstardom." Jazz Times
"I was a fan the moment I saw a tape of one of her concerts. Her ability to connect with the crowd and appeal to jazz fans as well as those who aren't as
familiar with her, makes her such an exciting artist, and I was thrilled to have her as a guest on my tour". Josh Qroban
"Mindi Abair's saxophone speaks to all of our souls. Do yourself a favor and check out Mindi Abair's music. You'll be happy you did." Keb' Mo'
"Mindi is unique, and it will be love at first listen." John Taylor (Duran Duran)
Jim Morris
Jim Morris is an articulate singer/songwriter with a devotion to storytelling. Whether it is a thoughtful ballad about doomed love or an anthem to a night
of drunken revelry, the listener can always count on well-crafted songs with carefully drawn characters, clever lyrics, and satirical charm. Although Jim's musical
style is admittedly reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker, he has a knack for defying categorization. He mixes a whimsical island sound with a splash of
Texas to produce a sound that is uniquely Gulf and Western. Jim grew up in Georgia and has a heritage rich in music. His grandfather led a dance band, and everyone
in the family either played an instrument or sang. At age 10 Jim taught himself to play the guitar by listening to Hank Williams records. After college (BA in English
and graduate studies in English and Human Resources Management) while pursuing a career in human resources management, he continued to write songs and
dream of the day when he could do it full-time. "After I graduated, I wanted to be a drifter and a writer; instead, I settled for corporate executive and closet
entertainer." During his 15-year corporate career, his job allowed him to live in several interesting locales, such as Montana, New Orleans, and St. Simons Island, all
of which would figure prominently in his writing. Following a business trip duringwhich he renewed his love affair with the southwest coast of Florida, Jim took the
leap he had been contemplating for some time and left the corporate world for good. Jim spent the subsequent years writing songs and playing gigs around Florida.
From the beginning he took a big risk by featuring original music. "I spent about a year writing and developing a catalog of songs. I was unsure of my ability to sing
and play the guitar professionally but I thought my songs might separate me from the other performers." A fortuitous meeting with recording artist Randy
Matthews would result in Matthews producing Morris' first recording, "Laid Back and Key Wasted," released in 1996 by Fish Head Music. As you would expect, each song tells a story: the title track is about a
guy who gives up the corporate world for the beach; one is about the exploits of a pilot who flies contraband; another is about roadkill and the people who collect it; others tell great stories of sailing, fishing, and
drinking. "After my first CD was released, I changed my focus. I stopped playing bars so much and I worked coffeehouses and bookstores. I wanted to play before a listening audience who might appreciate what I
had to say. I made less money, but I started to develop a fan base." Jim will direct his efforts to expanding his fan base and touring with the Big Bamboo Band. He will still make time to fish and will always be on
the lookout for song material. "I don't have much to show for my years except some great experiences, and that's what I write about the characters I've met and the places I've been. The thing that is both
satisfying and alarming is that most of it is true." We are extremely excited to have him perform a new "set" for this year's Wine & Jazz Festival, which will have a very strong bent towards his own jazz favorites.

Twofer


PROVIDED BY THE BURNT STORE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Burnt Store Presbyterian Players,
directed by Al Wagner, will present two
short plays they call Twofers Plays 7 p.m.
Thursday-Friday and at 2 p.m. Saturday.
The first play, "Life Support" by Donald
Steele, features two outstanding local ac-
tresses Ali Cain and Tagen Kaester as
sisters facing a family dilemma, which leads
them to understand and appreciate each other
and their lives like never before as they come


: Two plays for the price of one


to their decision. This play has won many
prestigious drama awards.
The second play, "It Should Happen to a
Dog" by Wolf Mankowitz. The play tells the
story of Jonah's attempt to escape God's voice,
which directs him to a vacation he doesn't
want. The play's effectiveness derives from the
humor that resides in the story itself, man's
ineffectiveness in fleeing from the
presence of God. Furthermore, Jonah
is not depicted as a prophet whose
arguments are transparently pious but rather as


a traveling salesman looking for sharp bargains.
Jonah will be played by BSPC Players veteran,
Jack Merchant, while Larry Wicks supports him
in multiple roles as a man, a sailor
and an angel.
Admission is free and a love offering
will be taken. The doors open 30 minutes
before the play begins. There is no
reserved seating.
For more information, call 941-639-0001.
The Burnt Store Presbyterian Church is
located at 11330 Burnt Store Road, Punta Gorda.

Punta Gorda prepares for national art show Vf'J


PROVIDED BY MICHELE VALENCOURT
VISUAL ARTS CENTER
The 8th Biennial Juried National Art
Exhibition opens at 10 a.m. Saturday with
a Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce
ribbon-cutting ceremony.
'We are very proud to have Dean Mitchell
as the juror. He is a signature member of the
American Watercolor Society and the National
Watercolor Society whose work can be found in
corporate and museum collections across the
country including the Library of Congress," said
Ingrid Carroll, exhibit co-chairperson.
Mitchell selected 127 of the very best works out
of over 500 entries. This kind of selection process
produces a very high quality show. Mitchell grew up
in Quincy, Fla. and is a graduate of the Columbus
College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio. He
created portraits of Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus,
John Coltrane and others for the U.S. Postal Service



Chuck Negr(

signed as

Block Party

lead act


Jazz Musicians stamp series and has been featured
in numerous art publications. Though largely known
as a watercolor artist, Mitchell is accomplished in
egg tempera, oil and pastel.
Mitchell is considered one of America's great-
est watercolorists and exhibits in the nation's
most prestigious museum invitationals including
the Prix de West in Oklahoma City and the Autry
National Center's Masters of the American West.
His art can be found in corporate and museum
collections across the country, including the
Library of Congress. Mitchell is well known for his
figurative works, landscapes and still lifes.
The exhibit's 127 works of traditional two-di-
mensional fine art (drawing, pastel, oil, watercol-
or, acrylic and mixed media) are of great variety
in tone, medium and subject.
The juror selected a well-rounded show that
features both works of photo-realism and lively
abstracts.


Somber social commentary paintings are
balanced against whimsical fantasy Detailed
portraits compare with impressionist portraits.
Landscapes, still lifes, figure works, and working
folks fill in the total show.
The exhibit will be on display Saturday through
March 11 at the Visual Arts Center, 210 Maud
St., Punta Gorda. There is no charge to attend
the exhibit.
The Gala Awards presentation and reception
will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 9. Tickets are $5.

Lemon Bay Fest: Englewood History with Zest


Flute Music & Stories'


PH'.TC-.'S PP-'-., ICDED


Sweet Mavis, the "Tea Lady," is called on to help out with the first live television production of
"The Billery Dean Show."' Cue cards? Oh yes, they're state of the art for 1957. In "The Case Of The
Purple Porpoise," the great Englewood detective (and fisherman), faces red tide, snowstorms,
murders and live television as the fourth Billery Dean mystery comes to the Historic Green St.
Church, 416 W. Green St. Englewood from Friday through Feb. 10.
Set in 1957 New Jersey and 1947 Englewood, Billery, played by Murray Fitzhugh, copes with
strange people and events to solve the mysteries.
Included in the show are original songs and songs from the '90s the 1890s. This is a "classic"
murder mystery and suitable for teens to super seniors.
Tickets are $8 for one, and $10 for two. A special dinner and show option is available on Friday and
Saturday nights. Call 941-474-3764 or check the Lemon Bay Fest website at
www.lemonbayfest.com for details. Proceeds from the show benefit the Lemon Bay Historical Society

Above, Cheryl Baker, playing "Clem," the old deck hand, experiments with a murder weapon that
might be just a bit large. Murray Fitzhugh, as Billery Dean, is prepared to deal with it.

Audiences who know these two local favorites

Elvis Jr. featured at Charlotte County Fair


BY JOHN HACKWORTH
MANAGING EDITOR
If the carnival rides don't shake you up enough,
you can get a dose of hip-shaking rock 'n'
roll Saturday afternoon when Elvis Presley
Jr. takes the stage at the Charlotte County Fair.
Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. takes the stage at
5 p.m. for a concert featuring his own original
material and the top hits of his famous father. The
show is free with fair admission but you can get
VIP seating with special tickets on sale at Jerry
Wilson's Motor Cars in Charlotte Harbor. The VIP
tickets, $12, include admission to the fair and a
guaranteed seat.
'We have a real good time when we do a


show," Elvis Jr. said last week. "And, at the end of
the show we will have an autograph session and
I'll stay (until everyone gets to see me)."
Elvis Jr. has appeared on national TV shows
and has been the subject of numerous news-
paper and magazine articles since his identity
was revealed when he reached the age of 21.
The entertainer grew up with adoptive parents,
working in traveling circuses until learning of his
famous heritage.
According to Elvis Jr., numerous websites and
booking agent Tommy Vale, Elvis had a liaison
with an extra from the movie "Blue Hawaii," and
the result was Elvis Jr. Col. Tom Parker, Elvis's
long-time manager, failed to persuade the movie


actress, Angelique Pettyjohn, to have an abor-
tion so he arranged an adoption to a couple he
believed would be returning to Europe when their
contract with Ringling Bros. Circus expired. The
couple stayed in the U.S., however, and raised
Elvis Jr. never telling him who his father was until
he reached the age of 21.
Elvis Jr. has recorded 34 CDs under the guid-
ance of top managers including Bobby Morris,
musical conductor for Elvis Sr., Barbara Streisand
and Wayne Newton. He has performed more than
2,000 concerts in the U.S., Japan, South America
and Europe.
Saturday, he will shake up Charlotte County
Fair-goers.


Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. will perform at 5 p.m.
Saturday at the Charlotte County Fair.

River City Grill


BY BARBARA BEAN-MELLINGER
SUN CORRESPONDENT
About 10 years ago, Doug Amaral was
searching for the perfect place to open
a new restaurant. A chef by training and
the owner of Mangrove Caf6 in Naples, he spent
his days off looking for a place to open another
restaurant in an area he might want to live. He
just couldn't find the right spot.
While staying in Port Charlotte, he drove over
the bridge to Punta Gorda, and there it was.
"Punta Gorda reminded me of Westport,
Massachusetts, where I grew up," said Amaral.
"A pristine lobster town, a fishing village, with no
chain restaurants. I felt I could settle here and
make a difference."
Amaral drove over the bridge again and again
and liked what he saw even more. He happened
to be talking to a woman in Punta Gorda one day,
and told her about his idea for a restaurant, not
knowing she was Marilyn Smith Mooney. "I'm the
mayor,' she said. 'Let's talk about it."'
That was the start of River City Grill.
"Some people thought I was crazy to choose
Punta Gorda, but from the day we opened,
we had a crowd coming in for dinner," Amaral
recalled.
Business built steadily and the town flourished
until, of course, Hurricane Charley destroyed
much of Punta Gorda in August of 2004. "We
were outside with a grill pretty early on," said


Amaral. "People needed a place to talk and eat."
In the years since, River City Grill has come
back strong. The restaurant's menu is always
evolving, though Amaral and his chef, Steve
ladevaia, keep the signature dishes that are
very popular. Amaral describes the menu as
"contemporary American" or "global cuisine" with
southwest, Asian, Cuban, New Orleans and New
England influences.
The eclectic menu lists Sunday pot roast right
above a more upscale salmon dish. Mario Batali's
red sauce is on the menu, after Amaral met Batali
and personally requested the recipe. The menu
also reflects its owner's sense of humor and love
of baseball. Maddonnini Chicken is named after
Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon and the
Tampa Strip Steak is proclaimed to be better than
the New York version.
After graduating from the Culinary Institute
of America, Amaral worked as a chef in Boston
and Rhode Island resorts. Seeking warmer
weather, he landed in Naples and worked as
a chef there before opening Mangrove Caf6 22
years ago.
He now commutes between River City Grill
and Mangrove Caf6, overseeing the operations of
both restaurants.
Amaral is proud that River City Grill has been
chosen the best all-around place for dinner year
after year in the Sun Reader's Choice competi-
tion. "I like it that it's the people who choose their

Venice Symphony: A power in live music


BY MCCLAREN MALCOLM
SUN CORRESPONDENT
World-renowned pianistYoung-Ah Tak
will perform with the Venice Symphony
Friday and Saturday because she
knows the work of Ken Bowermeister, conductor.
When Tak was asked about her fee, she replied
that it didn't matter. She just wanted to play with
Bowermeister and the Venice Symphony.
Bowermeister's connection to Tak came up
recently when a few Venetians interested in learn-
ing more about the symphony gathered along
with the conductor, Jean Peters, executive direc-
tor and Doug Kerr, director of development.
As in any small group, stories are shared. The
prevailing stories hinged on the human touch
practiced by the symphony organization. One
story told of a Venetian celebrating her 100th
birthday by attending a symphony perfor-
mance. Bowermeister responded by dedicat-
ing a "Medley of My Fair Lady" played by the
symphony in her honor.
As executive director, Peters enjoys carrying
out the caring touches too. When she learned
that one loyal attendee was celebrating her 80th
birthday by attending the concert, she placed a
rose on her chair. "We heard about that. She was
pleased. That's the family feeling we've developed
with people over the years." She added that
some who are on a budget, choose attendance at
the symphony as their one entertainment activity.
Everyone agreed that live music makes a dif-
ference in people's lives from uplifting to healing


to educational opportunity. Peters added that
it's so easy in this tech age to download music,
but there is nothing like a live performance it
makes a difference in people's lives. Live music
can renew the listener and heal the oppressed.
In support of music's power, Bowermeister
stated that 66-percent of students admitted to
medical school have degrees in music. "Music
takes both sides of the brain technical and
emotional." In 30 years as a music educator, he
has seen students perform well in music classes
when they were failing in the rest of their subjects.
Music appears to get through to failing students
when other subjects don't.
From his teaching years at Pine View School,
he cited a student who did poorly in all his
subjects except for music---there he excelled. In
music class the student was attentive, hard work-
ing, and no behavior problem. The other teachers
had written him off. When they learned how well
he did in music, they changed their perception
and decided to play on his few strengths. His
performance in school then improved overall.
Another student, who admitted he was a party
animal, conducted himself as a gentleman in
Bowermeister's class. The student told his music
teacher that his good behavior stemmed from
his love for the class. The student went on to win
a swimming scholarship at Indiana but blew it
through his poor performance. He then applied
three times to veterinary school. On the third try,
his examiners learned that he played the viola
very well. The school was willing to give him a


chance based on his excelling in music.
When a question arose about the symphony's
history, Peters, executive director for 22 years,
was the most knowledgeable person in the room.
Incorporated in 1974, the symphony was com-
prised of all volunteers. "Normally a community
the size of Venice would not have a symphony."
Peters was the first paid staff. Additional paid
staff has been added over the years thanks to Pe-
ters' creative guidance: administrative assistant,
stage managers, personnel director, librarian,
bookkeeper, and of course, the musicians.
"We are more than a symphony: we are truly
a family."
Tak will perform "Beethoven's Piano Concerto"
at 8 p.m. Friday and at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday
at the Church of the Nazarene, 1535 E. Venice
Ave., Venice.
Tickets are $20, $25, and $28.

Chef Antonio Pariano:


Cassariano Italian Eatery


BY DEBBIE FLESSNER
SUN CORRESPONDENT
With a broad smile, Chef Antonio Pariano
greets lunchtime diners at Cassariano
Italian Eatery. It's obvious that many
have been there before, and the few that haven't,
Chef Antonio makes a point of speaking to them.
The small, intimate atmosphere of Cassariano is
a perfect setting for a personable chef like Chef
Antonio.
"For me, it's not just a job, it's a strong pas-
sion," he said. "I always had it clear in my mind
that I wanted to become a chef "Though he said
his father tried to dissuade him from pursuing his
chosen path while he was growing up in Torino
(Turin), desiring a more "normal" job for him, once
he realized that was the direction Antonio wanted
to take, he was very supportive.
After attending culinary school in Torino he
traveled the world working as a chef, spending
the longest amount of time, seven years, in Bra-
zil, before he moved to the United States. "I spent
five years in New York and the last four in Florida,"'
Chef Antonio said. "I moved here because this is
the land of opportunity."
The opportunity to have his own restaurant
presented itself when he met his future business
partner, Luca Cassani. "I met Luca when he was
a manager at Caf6 Epicure in Sarasota," he said.
"I have young kids and I don't want to bring my

Coming

attractions

BY ANN HORNADAY
THE WASHINGTON POST
Wait, they haven't given out the Oscars
for last year's films and we're already
talking about 2012? It's hard to believe
another movie season is upon us and even
harder, at a time when Hollywood seems more
addicted than ever to sequels, prequels and
reboots, that we might go to the multiplex
and enjoy something genuinely original. The
spring collection of films includes its share
of adaptations of proven properties, but as
anyone familiar with "Batman" or "The Green
Lantern" knows, it's all in the execution. Here are
some opening dates to circle (and maybe one to
cross off):
Most anticipated event: "The Hunger
Games," an adaptation of Suzanne Collins'
best-selling young-adult novel, has its own
degree of "Harry Potter"-esque anticipation. The
dystopian-futuristic tale seems to have all the
right things going for it, from a script by the smart
Billy Ray ("Shattered Glass") to a cast headlined
by Jennifer Lawrence ('Winter's Bone") and
Josh Hutcherson ("The Kids Are All Right").
The novel revolves around Panem, the corrupt
capital of a nation that holds a competition
each year that forces teenage boys and girls
to fight until one survivor remains. (Scheduled
opening: March 23)
Most surprising event: Bruce Willis' brawn
meets Wes Anderson's brains in "Moonrise
Kingdom," a story of young love set in 1960s
New England. Willis appears alongside such
Anderson rep players as Jason Schwartzman
and Bill Murray, as well as Tilda Swinton, Edward
Norton and Frances McDormand.The film also
features newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara
Hayward. (May)
Most dreaded: "The Three Stooges." Even
when Jim Carrey, Benicio del Toro and Sean
Penn were attached, this sounded dreadful.
Now, it's Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos
and Will Sasso, and it still looks execrable.
It doesn't help that the Farrelly Brothers
are helming (we're still smarting from "Hall
Pass"). (April 13)
Most likely to either bomb or soar: Tarsem
Singh's "Mirror Mirror," a revision of the Snow
White story starring Julia Roberts as the Evil
Queen and Armie Hammer as the charming
prince. A bust a la Singh's "Immortals"? Or a
visionary head trip like his 2006 film "The Fall"?
Let's hope he can pull this one off. (March 16)
Most intriguing: "Sound of My Voice,"
Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling's terrific
psychological thriller about a mysterious cult
leader (played by Marling in a mesmerizing
performance) and a pair of documentary
filmmaker skeptics who set out to investi-
gate her past. This impressive debut made a
splash at Sundance last year. (May)
Secret tip:'The Secret World of Arrietty" may
not sound familiar, but get a load of this pedigree:
Adapted from the classic children's book "The
Borrowers," this hand-drawn animated film is
directed by HiromasaYonebayashi, the key ani-
mator of such wonderments as "Ponyo,""Howl's
Moving Castle" and "Spirited Away." Voice talent
includes Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. The secret
world resides beneath the floorboards, where a
group of little people lives undetected. A tena-
cious 14-year-old of that world ventures danger-
ously beyond her home and comes into contact
with humans. (Feb. 17)

Laryngitis not the cause

of all voice troubles


DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
One doesn't hear or read
often about my problem,
which was diagnosed by
a speech therapist. It's
spasmodic dysphonia. It
started about a year ago.
Sometimes it worsens
in the evening hours or
when I get upset. It's quite
annoying and at times
difficult for me to speak,
and is, of course, em-
barrassing. I visited my
family in the Northeast,
and didn't notice a prob-
lem there. Would heat or
humidity have anything
to do with this condition?
I have heard that Botox
injections are advised but
do not solve the problem.
They have to be repeated,
and they're expensive. I
am well over 65. Thank
you for any advice you
may give me. C.H.
ANSWER: These first
words aren't for you, C.H.;
they're for readers with
voice changes. Any vocal
changes lasting more
than two weeks ought to
be brought to the atten-
tion of a doctor. Such
changes aren't always
laryngitis, the common
viral infection of the voice
box.
Spasmodic dysphonia
affects the muscles in
the voice box (larynx).
Those muscles bring
the vocal cords to each
other so that sound is
made when air passes
through the openings
they make. In spasmodic
dysphonia, the muscles
are in spasm. They have
a long-lasting cramp.
This produces breaks
in the voice, a strained
voice and often speech
difficulties that make the
voice unintelligible.
No one has yet found
why this happens. I
can't explain why your
voice improved in the
Northeast.
An ear, nose and
throat doctor has instru-
ments that allow the
doctor to visualize the
spasm of the vocal cords.
Sometimes, voice ther-
apy can relax the vocal
muscles so they function
normally. The most effec-
tive treatment is Botox,
an injection made into
the muscles that releases
them from their sustained
cramp. One injection lasts
three to four months.
Medicare should cover
much of the expense.

information and has a list
of doctors skilled in the
treatment of this disorder.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
According to your col-
umn, you said the body
cannot absorb more than
500 mg of calcium at one
time. If my doctor tells
me to take 1,500 mg daily,
how can I do that? M.B.
ANSWER: Take 500 mg
at breakfast, lunch and
dinner. If the tablet is a
1,500 mg tablet, split it
into thirds, or look for
tablets containing only
500 mg.
I'm sure you're taking
calcium carbonate. It
comes in 1,500-mg size.
Calcium carbonate is best
absorbed when taken
with food, because that's
when stomach acid pro-
duction is at its height.
Calcium carbonate needs
stomach acid for absorp-
tion. The breakfast-lunch-
dinner schedule is perfect
for you.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Out of curiosity, what
kind of doctor are you?
After smoking for 35
years, do the lungs and
health improve upon
stopping? How about
if you have asthma or
emphysema? Is bike rid-
ing bad for emphysema?
- C.
ANSWER: What kind
of doctor am I? Not a
bad one. I'm an internal
medicine specialist with
a subspecialty in infec-
tious diseases. Internal
medicine is the branch
of medicine that treats
illnesses that are not rem-
edied through surgery.
Stopping cigarettes
improves the lungs, even
if the person has em-
physema and asthma. It
doesn't return the lungs
to the state they were
before you started smok-
ing, but it stops progres-
sion of lung damage,
lessens the chances for
lung cancer and does
improve your ability to
breathe. You'll notice a
marked improvement in
a month or so. You won't
be coughing like you do
now.
Bike riding is good
for emphysema. Don't
overdo it at first. Gradu-
ally increase your biking
distance and speed.

All hail the potato


Dear Readers: How
much do you really know
about the popular veg-
etable the potato? A good
source of vitamins B and
C, potatoes are fat-free
and high in fiber and
potassium. They are not
fattening the toppings
are what add the calories
and fat.
Some people think that
you shouldn't eat the skin
or that all the nutrients
are only found in the
skin. Not so! More than
half the nutrients are in
the potato itself, and the
skin contains one-half of
the fiber.
Whether you like them
mashed, boiled, baked or
as fries, any potato will
do. However, there are
some that are a better
choice, depending on
what you are making.
Waxy, white, red round
and new potatoes are
good for boiling, steam-
ing and scalloping. Rus-
sets are good for bak-
ing, mashing or making
french fries.
I took some micro-
waved yellow-fleshed po-
tatoes to Heloise Central.
We did taste-testing, and
we all agreed we love
potatoes! Heloise

Coffee and
tea stains
Dear Heloise: Another
way to remove tea and
coffee stains from china
cups is vinegar. Take your
spray bottle of vinegar
and coat the inside of
the cup. Give it a scrub,


Hints from Heloise

and the stain is gone! -
Carrie from Southern
Maryland
Carrie, you may want
to add some baking soda
or salt as an added "abra-
sive" (that won't scratch).
Besides vinegar, want to
know what other cleaning
solutions I use around
the house? To order my
Homemade Cleaning
Solutions pamphlet, send
$5, along with a long,
self-addressed, stamped
(65 cents) envelope, to:
Heloise/Cleaners, P.O.
Box 795001, San Anto-
nio, TX 78279-5001. To
make your own sanitizing
spray, mix 1 tablespoon
of bleach in 1 quart of
water. Remember to store
in an opaque bottle to
protect from heat and
sunlight; otherwise, use
within 24 hours, be-
fore the bleach loses its
strength. Heloise

Egg hint
Dear Heloise: I use the
round potato masher to
chop up eggs finely for
potato salad, tuna, etc.
Works great! Linda R.,

Woman in lov

twin is now in
DEAR ABBY: I am 26
and have been dating
"Mike" for four years. We
met in our senior year
of college and recently
became engaged. I'm
looking forward to being
married and starting a
family, but there's one
"small" problem. I'm in
love with Mike's identical
twin brother, "Matt."
Mike and Matt are
identical in appearance,
but Matt is funnier, more
outgoing and affectionate
than my fiance. I didn't
know he existed until a
year ago because they
had a falling out at their
high school graduation
and didn't reconcile until
recently.
When I met Matt, I
knew right away he was
the one for me, but I
continued dating Mike
because I didn't want to
ruin his re-established
relationship with his
brother. Matt reciprocates
my feelings. He has told
me he's in love with me
and wants to date me.
I know I shouldn't have
accepted Mike's proposal,
but I don't want to hurt
him or start another
fight between him and
his twin, but I also don't
want to be married to
the wrong man for the
rest of my life. I'm unsure
what to do. The wedding
date has been set. Help!
- IN LOVE WITH THE
DOUBLE
DEAR IN LOVE: You
should have put the
brakes on the relation-
ship with Mike the min-
ute you realized you were
attracted to Matt. The
engagement should be
ended immediately. That
you would not only con-
tinue to date Mike but
also accept his proposal
of marriage knowing you
were more attracted to
his twin was cruel.
If Matt starts seeing
you after the breakup,
it will probably cause a
permanent rift between
them. It will be interest-
ing to see what happens
when you become avail-
able because with some
people the "apple" that's
just out of reach is the
one that's most enticing

Dear Abby

- and you may wind
up married to neither
brother.
DEAR ABBY: My
4-year-old son made a
snowman in our front
yard and then went
inside to take a nap. Our
neighbor came over with
his son age 16 to
talk to my husband.
When I brought my
3-year-old daughter
outside to see the snow-
man her brother made,
I was horrified to see it
was now "anatomically
correct"! I asked my hus-
band who did it, and he
said it was the neighbor's
son. My husband thought
it was funny and that I
was overreacting.
I think the behavior
was inappropriate, and
the fact that my daugh-
ter saw it and wondered
what was "hanging on
the snowman" was no
laughing matter. If the
neighbor wanted to make
an X-rated snowman, he
should have made it in
his own front yard. Do
you think I'm being too
sensitive? FAILS TO
SEE THE HUMOR
DEAR FAILS TO SEE
THE HUMOR: Yes, I do.
While I agree the neigh-
bor boy's "artistic endeav-
or" was in poor taste, it
provided an opportunity
to answer your daughter's
question in a matter-of-
fact way and explain there
are anatomical differ-
ences between boys and
girls. You could also have
explained that private
parts are not supposed
to be displayed in public,
and asked your husband
to remove them as you
took your little girl back
into the house. Seeing
the snowman would not
traumatize your daughter
as much as seeing you
shocked and upset.


"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless his
name."-- Psalms 100:4.
If your prayers aren't getting through, try sending
them in on the wings of praise. "His praise shall
continually be in my mouth."

We continue with deals from the
ACBL Fall North American
Championships held in Seattle. Here,
the problem is simple. At a club slam,
should South take a finesse for the
queen of trumps or not?
South's jump to four clubs by
agreement showed a black two-suiter


and North had his bidding boots on,
so the club slam was reached in short
order. West led the seven of hearts.
As South, you win the ace of hearts in
hand, and cash the ace of clubs, both
defenders following. When you
continue with a trump, West follows
low. Do you apply the rule of eight
ever, nine never, and why did you
decide what to do?
If you know nothing about the
opponents' holdings, the Rule of 8
and 9 is a sound enough precept to
adopt. But that is not the case here.
East's weak two-heart opening bid
marks him with six hearts, so he has
only space for seven cards in the
other three suits. Since West is
marked with a doubleton heart, that
means he has four more spaces than
East to fill with cards from the other
suits.
You have solved the problem! Take
the trump finesse and the odds apply,
so you chalk up another slam. Well
done.
