A brief cool down last weekend
shouldn't have had much effect on our

Researcher gets

Every so often dolphins remind us
that our study of them is possible only
because they allow or tolerate our peri-

rueful reminder of who's running the
show. It puts everything back into per-

great lesson recently about who runs a
dolphin conservation project, and it isn't
her. It's the dolphins. See Dolphin

Stern named Mr. Seminole


By BOB McCLURE
SEMINOLE Local investment broker Gene Stem re-
ceived the Mr. Seminole award Jan. 19 during the
Seminole Chamber of Commerce's annual Installation
and Awards Banquet at the Wine Cellar restaurant.
Stern is the 49th winner of the award, which dates
back to 1965 when city founder Jesse Johnson re-
ceived the first Mr. Seminole distinction.
The award is handed out yearly to a man or woman
who has gone beyond the call of duty in serving the
community.
Stern was a charter member of the Tuesday Club
and Rotary Club of Seminole. He was also a co-winner
of the Chamber's first Merit Award and served on the
Chamber board of directors for four years.
He also was a major supporter and helped start what
is now Teacher Appreciation Day.
In other awards presentations, Victor Adamo, owner
of Realty Executives Adamo and Associates, was
named Boss of the Year; Lake Seminole Square re-
ceived Business of the Year and Dr. Steve Nickse, or-
ganizer of the annual Kids Appreciation Day at
Seminole City Park, received the Merit Award.
In a special presentation, former Seminole Mayor
and former chamber executive director Jimmy Johnson
was named executive director emeritus.
In other action, Nancy Giles took over as chair of the
chamber board, which also includes Adamo as chair-
man-elect; treasurer Jim Olliver, secretary Diane
Luttmann and past president Gary Scarsbrook.
Directors for 2013-14 are Michael Lurie, Laverne
Welch, Phil Crow, Marianne Fisher, Eva Jones, Sandy
Hartmann and Don Bates.


Upgrades continue at

SPC Seminole campus


By BOB McCLURE
SEMINOLE The saws are
quite audible and navigating
around the construction loca-
tions can be challenging at
times.
But when a $4.1 million ren-
ovation project at the Seminole
campus of St. Petersburg Col-
lege is complete in June, both
students and faculty will have
something both pleasing to the
eye and very functional.
The work is ongoing in two
areas on the second floor of
the library in an area formerly
used for storage and in the
Technology Learning Center.
The library phase includes a
new Faculty Development Cen-
ter where the emphasis will be
learning new technology and in-
structional tools, as well as a
place for adjunct professors to
interact with veteran staff mem-
bers.
The area also features six
new faculty offices and eight
more that are under construc-
tion. Plans also call for a new,
tiered classroom, designed after
the city of Seminole City Coun-
cil chambers, which will hold 75
students and be used for the
school's Public Policy program.


Also in the works is a new of-
fice for SPC Dean of Natural
Sciences John Chapin and a
new, larger home for the staff of
the Institute of Strategic Policy
Solutions.
Not far away, the TL building
is taking on new dimensions
with an expansion aimed at
helping students reach higher
academic goals. More specifical-
ly, SPC is faced with the prob-
lem most colleges and
universities face student re-
tention.
According to SPC Seminole
Provost Jim Olliver, the school's
graduation rate is about 30 per-
cent and its student retention
rate, from one semester to the
next, is 74 percent.
To improve those numbers,
SPC officials have embarked on
a massive program to identify
students in trouble, diagnose
those weaknesses and fix them
to the best of their ability.
In an effort to address that
topic, SPC Director for Learning
Resources Joe Leopold and Jen-
nifer Gregor, a Seminole cam-
pus Learning Resources faculty
member, are implementing a
plan to make the TL building a

County



approves



priority



dispatch


New changes to be

implemented June 1
By SUZETTE PORTER
CLEARWATER The majority of Pinellas Coun-
ty Commissioners said yes Jan. 15 to staffs re-
quest to approve use of phase 3 medical priority
dispatch.
Commissioners Charlie Justice, Norm Roche
and Ken Welch voted against the resolution that
changes the rules of operation for the countywide
911 system.
Under phase 3, only a Sunstar ambulance will
respond to 911 calls classified as non-emergency,
including calls from sick persons and certain
types of falls. Phase 3 eliminates dual response by
fire department first responders and a Sunstar
ambulance. In addition, the ambulance would not
use lights or sirens when responding to non-
emergency 911 calls.
The county's Emergency Medical Services Advi-
sory Council and EMS Medical Director Dr. Dave
Bowden recommended implementation of phase
3. The EMS Medical Control Board approved it,
which Public Safety Director Bruce Moeller said
would have been enough to put the change into
operation.
However, due to objections by Belleair Bluffs,
Dunedin, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, St. Peters-
burg, South Pasadena, as well as fire districts in
East Lake, Lealman, Palm Harbor and the Pinel-
las Suncoast, staff decided to bring the matter to
the commission.
Those objecting say they have no problem with
the concept of priority dispatch or the first two
phases that are currently in use. But they're not
happy with phase 3, which they say would down-
grade EMS service provided to their citizens.
Pinellas County implemented phase 1 of priori-
ty dispatch in April 2009. It consolidated 911
functions into one call center for an annual sav-
ings of $500,000. Phase 2, which calls for only fire
department response to certain non-emergency
calls, began December 2010, and reduced ambu-
lance responses by about 5.6 percent a year, re-
sulting in reduced ambulance costs.

Belleair Bee founder, civic leader dies


By TOM GERMOND
The late Myra Chandler-Haas, the founder of the Belleair Bee and
other community papers, had a nose for news and wanted to make
sure it was printed correctly.
"She was always involved. She was always out there taking pictures,
attending meetings," her daughter, Cindy Curls, said Jan. 19.
Chandler-Haas, 93 died Jan. 12 of natural causes.
A former owner of seven newspapers in the Detroit area, Chandler-
Haas moved to this area in 1969 and started a Wicker World store in
Belleair Bluffs. But she hated running the store, she said in an inter-
view with the Belleair Bee in 2005. Her friend, Wilsie Carr, and she
talked about starting a newspaper.
"With mom's background and knowledge, Willsie and Bob Carr's
backing, that's how it began," Curls said.
Chandler-Haas launched the Belleair Bee in May 1976, the Largo
Leader in May 1977 and Beach Bee in October 1978. She was involved
with other publications that followed.
"Bob was the business manager. Wilsie was the idea person and I
was the writer. And, my kids delivered it. Our offices were upstairs at
Wicker World. I had a typewriter, telephone and a note pad. That was
about it," she said in the interview.
Social news was very important to her. She said it was important to
care and be involved in the community.

The first photo on the cover of the Bee was about a tree-planting
ceremony.
Chandler-Haas was actively involved with many arts organizations,
including the Fine Arts Society and the National Society of Arts and
Letters. In addition to being a supporter of Ruth Eckerd Hall since its
inception, she hosted one of the first parties that raised funds for the
hall's groundbreaking.
"She was an inspiration to so many people," said Sue Osborne, who
worked as a sales manager with Chandler-Haas for 10 years at the Bee
and its sister publications.
"Not only to people who worked for her and with her in the newspa-
per business, but to so many organizations and charities and so forth
that she supported for the whole time she was there and for a long
time after she was gone because she taught us well. She taught a lot of
people the meaning of community newspaper," Osborne said.
Chandler-Haas was passionate about the arts, Osborne said.
"She was one of the leading ladies at Ruth Eckerd Hall for many
years," Osborne said.
She was also instrumental in helping to build Largo Central Park.
The newspaper promoted the project and was a huge sponsor of it as
well as the construction of the Largo Cultural Center, Osborne said.
Chandler-Haas' "ability to make people feel that they were impor-
tant" were among her greatest strengths as a newspaper publisher and
community leader.
"Because no matter who you were, Myra could make you feel like
you were the most important person in the room," Osborne said.
For her support of Eckerd Hall Youth Scholarship program, Chan-
dler-Haas received the Marcia P. Hoffman Arts Education Award in
November 2005.
In an interview with Tampa Bay Newspapers at the time, Chandler-
Haas said "I immediately saw the need for community newspapers in
the area so I founded the Belleair Bee 30 years ago and later added the
Largo Leader and other newspapers."
According to a history of the publication that is part of the Tampa
Bay Newspapers, Chandler-Haas told a former publisher that she took
pride that the Bee "never lost one dime from the day of conception."
She published the local papers for 10 years before once again retir-
ing though she was involved in community news for many years after.
As a mother Chandler-Haas was someone to be reckoned with,
Curls said.
"She wanted us to be the best we possibly could. She didn't want us
to volunteer for anything except what we believed in," she said. "She
believed in honesty and truth. She really believed in helping people.

great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Her most re-

Commission votes to approve

domestic partnership registry


By SUZETTE PORTER
CLEARWATER Unmarried couples in a commit-
ted relationship will be able to take care of their
loved ones in times of need, thanks to Pinellas
County's new domestic partnership registry.
Commissioners approved an ordinance, 6-1,
amending the county's human rights code Jan. 15.
The ordinance creates a domestic partnership reg-
istry to which two adults, regardless of sex and
with certain limitations, can register to "invest in
each other certain basic rights relating to their
health and welfare," according to staff notes.
Basic rights include visiting a domestic partner
in health care facilities, participating in discussions
relating to health care and acting as a healthcare
surrogate. Partners can make funeral and burial
decisions, receive notification in the case of an
emergency and receive notifications about their
partner the same as a family member. They can be-
come a pre-need guardian designate if their partner
becomes incapacitated. They also can participate in
the education of a partner's dependent.
Partners must pay $50 to cover the cost of filing
and processing the Affidavit of Domestic Partner-
ship, creation of a Certificate of Domestic Partner-
ship and filing for termination. Partners who have
already registered with a municipality will receive a
credit for payment of those fees.
Amendments to the registry cost $25. Copy
charges are $1 a page and $2 a page for certifica-
tion of copies.
The fees should cover the estimated $11,000 to
$15,000 cost to implement and administer the reg-
istry. Staff expects to be ready to start the registry
within 90 days.
Roche cast the single no vote, saying the registry
does nothing for people outside Pinellas County. He
advocates the use of a power of attorney. He also
said the state should take action, not individual
counties and municipalities.
Other commissioners agreed with Roche's senti-
ments. Commissioner Karen Seel pointed out that
getting power of attorney is not something afford-
able by all. She asked if people could be told when
they registered that rights provided by the ordi-
nance would not be valid outside Pinellas or other
counties that have a registry and that a power of at-
torney would be their best option.
Clerk of the Court Ken Burke said by law his of-
fice cannot provide legal advice. He said employees


of the Clerk's Office could provide those registering
with an information brochure if one was available.
Paul Valenti, director of the county's Human Rights
Office, said a brochure was in the works.
Jan Lowe thanked the commission for setting up
a countywide registry. Lowe and her wife were the
second couple to register in the city of Gulfport,
which was the first municipality in Pinellas to es-
tablish a domestic partnership registry. Clearwater
and St. Petersburg also have registries.
'We had to leave our beautiful state of Florida to
get married in Connecticut," Lowe said. "We thank
you for taking this step."
George Olds, a resident of Canada who lives in
Pinellas during the winter, told a story about being
denied access to his husband when he was admit-
ted to St. Petersburg Hospital despite showing hos-
pital officials his marriage license.
Olds, who married his husband 10 years ago in
Canada, said creating the registry was a "baby step
toward equality."
'We find it rather weird that people have to pay a
fee to be treated as human beings," Olds added.
Olds' husband, Ian Taylor, commented that it
shouldn't be necessary to create a special status or
rights for domestic partners.
"We're often accused of demanding something
special," he said. "There's nothing special about
us."
Joyce Hamilton Henry with the Pinellas County
Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of
Florida also thanked commissioners.
"It will make a difference in the lives of so many
couples, gay as well as straight and seniors," she
said.
Joe Paige and two others spoke against the reg-
istry, saying a legal means existed to guarantee
rights for domestic partners. He said there was no
need for the ordinance.
'This is a solution looking for a problem," Paige
said.
He called the ordinance "another vehicle for men
reluctant to commit."
"Society was built on a loving relationship be-
tween a man and woman," he said.
'We were elected to serve all of our constituents,
regardless of if they are same religion or same sex,"
said Commission Chair Ken Welch.
"It's an equity issue," said Roche.
He said rights to "take care of each other" should
be available whether it is between a gay couple or


County 3A


just good friends.
He said the ordinance had no legal merit.
'The power belongs with the state to form a civil
union in the state," he said.
Roche said the ordinance was nothing more than


a political statement.
"It's more than a political statement," said Com-
missioner Charlie Justice. "It's real progress being
made. I'd prefer the Legislature take the lead, but I
don't think we want to wait that long."

Treasure Island rethinks stance


on cost of beach parking passes


By BOB McCLURE

TREASURE ISLAND After receiving numerous
complaints about a $75 annual fee for beach park-
ing permits, the City Commission is considering a
resolution that would make the permits available for
almost 50 percent less during a two-week period.
After a lengthy discussion on the topic Jan. 15,
commissioners moved forward on a suggestion by
Commissioner Phil Collins to offer the annual pass-
es for $40 during the discounted period.
If the resolution passes on Feb. 5, city residents
and nonresidents alike will have the opportunity to
purchase the parking permits for two weeks at the
discounted rate before they go back up to $75 for
the rest of the year. Persons that have already pur-
chased permits at the full price would be eligible for
refunds and then be given the opportunity to buy
them again at the discounted price.
"I think we need to have a two-week discounted
period," said Collins. 'We could make it $40 and if
you're there a minute after midnight (at the end of
the discount period), you have to wait until next
year."
The dates of the two-week period have not been
determined but city residents would be notified well
in advance, city officials said.
At its Dec. 18 meeting, commissioners voted to
make beach parking permits available to both resi-
dents and nonresidents in an effort to head off a
possible showdown with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection over beach renourish-
ment funding.
Because the permits were offered only to city resi-
dents and not to nonresidents, DEP said the park-
ing spaces the city counts toward its overall total to
qualify for state renourishment funding would be
voided, making renourishment unattainable for the
city.
Since public funding is used toward renourish-
ment, state guidelines require public beaches to
have 100 public parking spaces per mile to be eligi-
ble for state renourishment funding.
State funding accounts for 40 percent of the cost
of renourishment projects. Federal money accounts
for another 40 percent and county funding for an-
other 20 percent.
By opening the beach parking lots to nonresi-
dents for the previous fee of just $5 per year, com-

parking meter revenue necessary for city services,
such as beach cleanup and beach raking.
For that reason, commissioners decided $75 was
a good direction to go.
The public didn't agree.
"I encourage you to look for a solution other than
charging $75," said Phil Thullen, a resident of Tar-
pon Drive on Paradise Island.
Commissioner Alan Bildz said he didn't favor any
change.
'What does this revenue pay for?" he asked. "It's
trash pickup and beach raking. Now you want to
decrease the amount? I'm against changing it (from
$75)."
City Manager Reid Silverboard agreed.
'We need to be growing revenue, not shrinking it,"
he said. "I think $75 is fair. The city needs the rev-
enue and we can't take a chance on disrupting our
parking meter revenue.
Mayor Bob Minning suggested a one-month dis-
count on permit sales, charging everyone $30 or
$35 for the annual pass.
Collins upped the ante to $40 and got a consen-
sus.
In other action, commissioners:
Passed an ordinance on first reading that ex-
tends restrictions on the consumption of alcohol on
Sunset Beach from Feb. 2 through Sept. 29. During
that span, alcohol is prohibited on the beach from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, from
85th Avenue north to 95th Avenue.
Approved $231,030 for repairs to the Beach
Pavilion on Sunset Beach. City officials agreed to
look into the cost of using waterless urinals in the
restrooms.
Passed a resolution allowing Brent Palmer of
Oceanus Slides to operate a water slide on the pub-
lic beach behind the Algiers Gulf Resort Motel at
11600 Gulf Blvd.
Approved a request by Joe Kervivk of Super
Parking and Bikes to operate a bicycle rental busi-
ness on the Beach Trail.
Approved $16,233 for emergency repairs to a
storm drain located between 279 and 283 104th
Ave.
Agreed to enter into a contract with David King,
owner of the Thunderbird Beach Resort, to redesign
and reconstruct renovations on the Beach Trail to
include an opening in the wall to the beach directly
behind the hotel.


Indian Shores candidates unopposed

more comfortable environment for one-on-one facul-
ty mentoring with students.
The new Learning Center, or learning commons,
will take on the look of a 10,000-square-foot living
room, complete with five flat screen televisions and
a mini-cafe with coffee.
'We want to make it a social area," said Oliver.
"We want the students to hang out in an academic
support environment."
The facility will be available seven days a week
with faculty tutoring available by appointment.
Construction on the west side of the TL building


includes new science labs and eight new faculty of-
fices on the north side of the building.
Inside, two former classrooms are being converted
into a writing studio and a math lab.
Both will be available to students who seek addi-
tional tutoring or instruction in either discipline.
Participation will be voluntary but in some cases
faculty members will suggest it.
A number of new tools in use will allow SPC staff
to chart success rates of students using the labs
and one-on-one mentoring.
The idea is to find out what works the best but
the ultimate goal is to get higher retention and grad-
uation rates.


INDIAN SHORES The new Town Council that
will be sworn in in March will be identical to the
current one.
A resolution declaring Joan Herndon and William
F. Smith re-elected council members in lieu of run-
ning unopposed was passed unanimously at the
Jan. 8 meeting of the Town Council.
Herndon and Smith qualified as candidates to
run for the two positions they currently hold. Be-
cause there were no challengers, the scheduled mu-


nicipal election on March 12 was canceled.
A public hearing was held and the resolution
passed to forego the municipal election and publicly
assert that Herndon and Smith are re-elected for
another three-year term respectively.
e'll have the (re-election) party in March," said
Mayor Jim Lawrence.
Meantime, the town's community room on the
fourth floor of the Municipal Center will be named
in memory of Lawrence Nayman, the town's former
building official who passed away last year. The
suggestion was put forward by Lawrence.

PRIORITY, from page 1A

Phase 3 would eliminate the use of first respon-
ders for minor falls and sick person calls. First re-
sponders would continue to go out to all
life-threatening calls and all other low severity calls.
Staff estimates that first responses would be re-
duced by about 14,000 calls a year for a 10 percent
reduction. They say the change also would reduce
complaints from the public and elected officials
about dual response to every emergency call.
Staff amended phase 3 plans to require dispatch-
ers to alert fire departments when calls for non-
emergency help come in from their area. Prior plans
did not call for notification. Fire departments can
choose to respond or not, which some said could
cause confusion. Another objection is the difference
in time it takes to get help from a fire department
first responder versus an ambulance.
Dissenters also worry that dispatchers will make
a mistake and send only an ambulance when a first
responder is needed. Robert Polk, president of the
Pinellas County Fire Chiefs Association, talked
about a 911 call that came in Jan. 14 about a child
who had fallen. First responders were dispatched to
respond without sirens. When they arrived on
scene, they found out the 2-year-old boy had a bro-
ken limb.
Moeller said it was not unheard of for dispatchers
to upgrade a call. Statistics show upgrades happen-
ing in less than 1 percent of calls. He said the up-
grades were made prior to units arriving on scene.
He said it was more likely for a unit to be unavail-
able to respond to an emergency because a unit was
involved in a non-emergency call than for a dis-
patcher to send the wrong type of response.
He said units were unavailable for emergency
calls 15 percent of the time, but staff could not sep-
arate instances of response to non-emergency calls
from other reasons a unit might be unavailable,
such as personnel being out for training.
Commissioners acknowledged that there was "a
lot of misinformation" about phase 3, which was


causing concern among the public, and they advo-
cated an education program to help people know
what to say to get the proper response to a 911 call.
Commissioner John Morroni suggested that the
commission approve phase 3 but delay implementa-
tion until April to give time for an education cam-
paign.
County Administrator Bob LaSala advocates be-
ginning phase 3 as soon as possible, so as much in-
formation about potential savings would be
available to prepare the budget for the next fiscal
year.
Polk and others against the use of phase 3 asked
commissioners to wait until the results came back
from a study by Fitch and Associates about changes
to the EMS system. Fitch is looking at the benefits
of continuing as is with Sunstar providing all ambu-
lance transport, using fire departments to provide
ambulance service or some combination of meth-
ods. Results of the study are expected to be avail-
able by May.
Officials are hopeful that the Fitch study will help
answer the question of whether a private ambu-
lance company or local fire departments can provide
the best and more affordable ambulance service in
Pinellas.
Welch argued that moving forward with phase 3
with so many objecting could be counterproductive
to the main goal of restructuring the entire system.
The city of St. Petersburg has threatened to sue if
the county implements the change.
"You're missing the issue," Welch said. "Educa-
tion is not the issue with those opposed because
they feel we're violating their rights and responsibili-
ties within their district."
Justice, Roche and Welch said it would be best to
table phase 3 until after findings from the Fitch
study are revealed.
Welch said there was no financial benefit to im-
plement phase 3 now.
"But there is a lot of animosity," he said.
In the end, Morroni amended his motion to make
phase 3 effective June 1.

Crossing guard injured
in vehicle crash
LARGO A Pinellas County school crossing guard
was injured when he was hit by a car about 7:30
a.m. Jan. 16 at the intersection of 102nd Avenue
and 131st Street in unincorporated Largo.
Witnesses at the scene and deputies from the
sheriffs major accident investigation team said that
the crossing guard, Nelson Guenther, was crossing
at 102nd Avenue southbound at 131st Street with
the crossing signal. As Guenther crossed, Richard

102nd Avenue from northbound 131st Street.
Barbieri failed to yield at the pedestrian crossing,

suffered minor injuries and was transported to a
local hospital.
Barbieri was issued a traffic citation for failure to

Bluffs plans anniversary events
BELLEAIR BLUFFS A yearlong series of events is being considered
to commemorate the founding of the city of Belleair Bluffs 50 years
ago. Ideas for the anniversary celebration were talked about at the
Jan. 14 City Commission workshop.
Commissioner Taylour Shimkus will chair a planning committee to
coordinate the activities. Members will include the entire commission,
except Mayor Chris Arbutine, plus City Clerk Debra Sullivan, Public
Works Director Robert David and City Attorney Thomas Trask. All
meetings will be open to the public. The goal is to kick off the celebra-
tory events in March.
The committee has to come up with a celebration plan quickly,
Shimkus said. She told the commission, "We need a list of what we
want to do."
Mayor Chris Arbutine said he favored "multiple events that celebrate
the 50th anniversary all year long."
'We need multiple dollars to have multiple events," City Clerk/Fi-
nance Director Debra Sullivan responded. The commission agreed to
set up a budget dedicated to the birthday activities.
Among the ideas suggested was a 50th anniversary parade held on
the Fourth of July, when the city traditionally does a party at the city
hall/community center. The city's last parade was held about 13 years
ago, David said. Having an anniversary event in connection with the
annual Christmas party was another idea put forth.
A preliminary design of an official anniversary seal was circulated at
the meeting. Street banners were mentioned and a brochure on the
city's history.
Commission members were enthusiastic about promoting Belleair
Bluffs' anniversary with a yearlong birthday party, and they agreed to
come up with event ideas.
'This is going to be a fun project," said Commissioner Suzy Sofer.

Belleair mulls over golf course options
BELLEAIR There is little doubt the town of Belleair will be buying
the Pelican golf course, or the Belleview Biltmore Golf Club, as it is
known today. The bigger question is what to do with it?
That was what faced the town's Finance Board on Jan. 15 and the
board members decided they will have to talk about it much more be-


fore they make any kind of a recommendation to the Town Commis-
sion.
Assistant Town Manager J.P. Murphy had just conducted a feasibili-
ty study into the purchase of the course, and he got straight to the
point.
"Let's be clear, we like the idea of purchasing the golf course be-
cause we want to get the development rights," he said. "Once we buy it
we can then decide to retain the golf operations or we don't have to."
Murphy's report revealed some financial numbers that, for the first
time, shed some light on the operation of the facility, which is at 1501
Indian Rocks Road.
For the past three fiscal years the golf course has operated at a loss.
In 2012 for example the gross profit of the course was $1.83 million
while the total expenses were more than $2 million. That was a loss of
just over $200,000, about $40,000 less than the year before.
Murphy blamed the way the course is run for the losses.
"Our studies show that poor management contributed to the down-
ward trend in profits at the course," he said. 'There were some ques-
tionable entries made in the books."
He also noted that the restaurant at the club was to blame for much
of the loss.
'The food and beverage has been a loss leader there," he said. "It is
the anchor which brought that ship down. For example they have
$20,000 of food on hand when I'm being told by golf people that all
they want are a few burgers and a snack; that would be good enough."
He said that while the marketing for the course has been spotty,
there is a good membership base that should be an attraction for a
management firm or a future lessee. He also noted that overall the
course is in good shape and it does not require a lot of capital outlay.
Murphy presented the Finance Board with four options for the fu-
ture of the course:
1: Once the town bought the course it could continue to operate it.
The town would assume all the risk but get all the profits.
2: The town could retain control of the course but hire a manage-
ment firm to run it. There would be the opportunity to make some
money from that deal.
3: The town could enter into a long-term lease with a golf course op-
erator and realize some financial gain from the lease itself.
4. A hybrid of the other three options, mix and match as it were.
Later Town Manager Micah Maxwell added another option. Buy the

course, take development rights off the books and sell it right away.
Faced with those options board members began peppering Murphy
and Maxwell with questions.
Mary Griffith wanted to know if under a lease agreement the lessee
would be compelled to keep the course in good shape. Murphy replied
that any lease would contain a set of standards or the lessee would de-
fault on the deal.
John Prevas asked if the golf course were damaging the aquifer with
the chemicals necessary for fertilizing. Board member Tom Lokey
noted that the government heavily regulates golf course chemicals.
Maxwell said the aquifer should be OK.
After the questions were asked it was back to Murphy to discuss
more of what he discovered in his study, and having the town run the
golf course was not something he would recommend.
"We found that in cases where municipalities are running golf
courses they don't make as much money as a management deal or a
lease arrangement would make," he said. "Some cities are OK with
taking the loss and writing the checks because they want their resi-
dents to have that recreational opportunity. I don't think we're in that
position."
Murphy said once news of the town's intention to buy the course got
out, several people have come forward with offers to run the course,
and in at least two cases, to buy the course. He suggested it would not
be difficult to enter into agreements whichever way the commission ul-
timately decided to go.
The whole idea of buying the course came about because the own-
ers, the Ades Brothers of Miami, were threatening to foreclose on the
mortgage of the Belleview Biltmore Hotel, another of their properties, to
escape having to pay $250,000 in fines because of the dilapidated
state of the hotel.
In addition the brothers would not agree not to develop the golf
course into Townhouses, something the commission did not want to
happen.
By buying the golf course for $13.5 million the town agreed to wipe
out the fines, but would then be able to take the development rights
for that property off the books. The Ades Brothers also had to give the
town $50,000.
Already the $250 a day fines have begun piling up again because
nothing has been done to improve the hotel property.
Town Manager Maxwell told the Finance Board that a town-hired
appraiser has pegged the value of the golf course at $13.5 million, but
that could go down once the development rights are removed.
Board Chairman Tom Olson said it was obvious the options were
down to two. "Operating it ourselves is not feasible," he said. 'The hy-
brid idea is no good, so we either recommend hiring a management
firm to run it, or enter into a lease agreement."
He then suggested that the board consider recommending a lease
agreement until it is clear what should be done with the property.
Member Tom Kurey agreed.
"I think a lease is what we should do absolutely," he said. "A man-
agement deal leaves us with all the risk and I don't think that is the
way to go."
The board agreed to bring the matter up again at its next meeting.
Maxwell said he hoped to be able to conclude the deal to buy the
course by early February. He hoped the Finance Board would have a
recommendation for the Commission shortly after that.

Data center debate concluded
LARGO While Largo commissioners ultimately dismissed citizen-
proposed alternatives to a city-owned data center, they did agree to
move the location of the building away from the library parking lot
where it would have blocked residents' view of Largo Central Park.
Progress on the $2.6 million project has been moving forward de-
spite concerns raised by both commissioners and the public as to the
necessity of the center. The objections began with the building's price
tag, which came in at about $1 million over budget when the final de-
sign was presented in November.
Largo city staff spent most of the work session on Jan. 15

You may have a disorder called obstructive sleep apnea which stops your
breathing while you're d11 L ,.i. and it can have serious consequences high
blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, depression, fatigue, diabetes and cancer.
Sleep apnea is often treated by wearing a facemask attached to an air
compressor called a CPAP that keeps the air passage open during the night.
But if you've already been diagnosed and tried a CPAP but can't wear it,
or suspect that you may be affected, we have another treatment option to
consider.
Dr. Maury Krystel, D.D.S. can provide a simple, effective and comfortable
solution to help reduce symptoms of sleep apnea a small, custom-fitted
retainer that fits in your mouth that gently holds your jaw in a forward
position and keeps your airway open.
Dr. Krystel has over 30 years experience helping patients solve medical
problems with dental solutions, often by working with physicians and
medical sleep specialists. And he may be able to help you. For a free sleep
apnea LL. I 1; iP, i,. or consultation about your already diagnosed sleep apnea,

Beacon, January 24, 2013


PINELLAS, from page 6A


addressing those concerns and making the case for
the validity of the data center. The commission was
asked to decide on three points: whether the city
needed a data center at all, if such a building
should be owned by the city or leased and finally,
where the building should be located.
The need for a data center
At the core of the first question is the fact that the
second floor of Largo City Hall is at its capacity to
hold the city's commuting infrastructure. The floor
itself won't support any more physical weight and is
at its max capacity as far as electrical and air-condi-
tioning needs of the equipment, said Assistant City
Manager Henry Schubert.
IT Director Harold Schomaker explained generally
two options the city had to outsource its data servic-
es: cloud computing and off-site hosting. Both could
potentially save the city money, by utilizing the re-
sources of a private company to fulfill the city's com-
puting needs. But both options raised additional
concerns, such as the need for encrypted security
for law enforcement information among other sensi-
tive files, the dependence on a reliable Internet con-
nection and potential difficulty of maintenance or
repairs that might have to be done in person.
Commissioner Curtis Holmes asked the commis-
sion for a proposal from DSM Technology Consult-
ants, based in Lakeland. The company would
"provide this service at a fraction of the cost of
building, maintaining, and constantly upgrading
your own facility," a Jan. 8 email from company
Business Development Manager Gary Pollard stat-
ed.
Answering a question from Commission Jamie
Robinson, Schomaker cut to the chase.
"We would still need a data center even if we
moved a lot of our stuff to the cloud and/or had it
hosted. Because we have a network infrastructure
in the city that needs to be maintained," he said.
Build or lease
Another proposal from Businessman John
Hopengarten ofWestchase Group suggested the city


lease the first floor in his proposed office building at
701 Highland Ave in order to save money. Upon an-
alyzing his proposal, city staff ceded that the pro-
posal could save the city money, but only about
$607,364 over the course of a five-year lease and
only $88,760 if that lease extended to 10 years.
Holmes argued that as fast as technology was im-
proving, the city might not need the literal space a
data center provided beyond Hopengarten's pro-
posed lease term, making the construction of a
brand new building not worth the extra expense.
Schomaker said the data center would need "for the
foreseeable future."
Commissioner Woody Brown said the fact that
the city was using land it already owned made a dif-
ference.
"If we were certain that we wouldn't need a data
center in five years, hosting or leasing would be a
really sound financial decision," he said. "If we're
going to have that data center for 10 or 15 years, in
the end I think we're going to save money if we do it
on our own property."
Another factor in the difference between leasing
and building a data center is the source of the funds
to pay for it. If the city builds the center, it can use
capital funds from the Local Option Sales Tax. Leas-
ing a building would require an ongoing expense,
charged from the general fund, as well as a revision
to the operating budget.
Location, location
With the first two matters decided, the commis-
sioners moved onto the location of the building.
Mayor Pat Gerard expressed frustration that the fu-
ture neighbors of the data center as proposed
weren't consulted earlier in the design phase. The
residents of the Lake Alison subdivision have ar-
gued that the building would interrupt their homes'
view of Largo Central Park and change the am-
biance of Central Park Drive.
Gerard agreed, saying that the building's location
at the southwest comer of the library parking lot
within the park would be "taking up some of that
green space" with "an utilitarian building."
City staff proposed a new location, within the


space set aside for the Largo Parks Division to the
west of the library. Commissioner Harriet Crozier
suggested the spot be moved slightly and built clos-
er to the Largo Feed Store, potentially taking up a
few spaces at the southwest end of the parking lot
for the Largo Cultural Center.
After working through a few potential problems,
staff agreed that the new location would be better
than the alternative previously proposed.
The majority of the commissioners agreed that


the new site would be better than the one south of
the library.
"I think to most people it's about equal. But to
about 10 people, it's a lot better there," Brown said,
referring to the Lake Alison residents.
Schubert said the cost of the data center would
have to include some additional design fees as staff
and its hired consultants worked out the details of
the new location.

Castor addresses chamber

U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor
addresses members of the
Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber
of Commerce jan. 17 during
the group's annual dinner at
the TradeWinds Resort in St.
Pete Beach. Castor, who
represents Florida's 14th
Congressional District, said
local leaders need to keep
pressure on state leaders to
pursue more dollars from the
BP oil spill. She said terms of
the 1972 Clean Water Act
would force BP to pay the U.S.
Treasury between $5 billion
and $20 billion. About 35
percent of that amount would
come back to the Gulf states,
she said. Castor also suggested
tourism officials should market
their efforts more heavily
toward Latin America and
encouraged business leaders to
support an upcoming light rail
initiative in Pinellas County.

Erin Myers
SEMINOLE Navy Airman Erin Myers and other
sailors from the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis
(CVN 74) recently conducted operations in the Asia-
Pacific region with sailors from the USS George
Washington (CVN 73).

Various sizes of trout remain area anglers' top target


A brief cool down last weekend shouldn't have had much effect on
our inshore fishing.
If anything it might help out a
bit. The trout fishing has been Fish
good countywide. Fish Tales
There are lots of big trout in the .- .' I
northern region around the spoil I ','-' -"
islands, and there are plenty of
gator-sized trout to be caught
down south as well, in and among the many potholes of Fort De
Soto.
Our water temperature was right around 65 degrees before this
last front came through. If it were to drop a few degrees it probably
would bunch the trout up even better.
Whether your fishing up north or down south the tide is crucial
when targeting the big trout. In the northern county the spoil is-


lands north of Dunedin Causeway are no secret this time of year, a
scene often made obvious by the barrage of boats anchored around
every island.
It's true that these islands hold good fish and most often the best
bite occurs just after the tide starts to come in. We'll usually start
out bouncing soft-plastic jigs until we locate the fish and then
switch to a live free-lined live select shrimp. If fighting the crowds
isn't your idea of a good time then move around a bit. All the spoil
islands hold trout to some capacity as well as the miles of grass flats
that line the eastern shoreline in this part of the region.
In the southern part of the region the big trout tend to bunch up
around deep potholes. Low tides are the key and wade fishing is
often your best approach. These deep holes can actually be located
at home on your computer, or on the go, via your smart phone.
Satellite imagery websites can clearly show the angler the lay of the
land and these deep holes are easy to spot. Again soft-plastic jigs are


the lure of choice and a free-lined shrimp is seldom refused.
Silver trout remain abundant off area beaches and with an easter-
ly wind this week fishing for them should be good. Unless you've
been fishing for them recently and have a rough idea we're they've
been holding, plan on spending some time either fan casting as you
probe the waters for a school or driving around while looking at your
bottom machine. Once you find them it's not uncommon to pick up
a fish every cast. Good places to start looking would be Indian
Shores all the way south past Redington Pier. This stretch seems to
attract the silver trout year after year.
Until next week get bent!
Tyson Wallerstein can be reached at capt.tyson@hotmail.com. To get
a fish photo in the paper, send the photo along with your name, when
and where it was caught to editorial@TBNweekly.com or mail it to
Tampa Bay Newspapers, 9911 Seminole Blvd., Seminole, FL 33772.

State officials discuss 2013
Gulf gag grouper season
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission unani-
mously decided on a draft 2013 Gulf of Mexico gag grouper recre-
ational season at a recent meeting.
After discussing several options and hearing public testimony
from 26 people, commissioners chose draft options that, if approved
in February, will make most Gulf state waters consistent with the
current federal season, with the exception of a four-county region.
The current proposed federal season for Gulf gag grouper is slat-
ed to start July 1 and end when the annual catch target (the num-
ber of fish that can be harvested for that year within the rebuilding
plan) is expected to be met, which will likely be sometime in Novem-
ber or early December.
The federal season ending date should be finalized in spring
2013.
The proposal included an April 1 through June 30 season in
state waters off the counties of Taylor, Jefferson, Wakulla and
Franklin.
According to the proposal, the four-county region will not open

"In terms of effort, this four-county region had an insignificant
impact to the resource but a significant impact to the economy and
the culture," said Commissioner Brian Yablonski. "We specifically
picked less-populated counties and a lot of that had to do with
where the fish are when the season is open. This at least gave the
Big Bend area a chance to fish. Full consistency takes the Big Bend
out."
The Commission asked staff to work with federal fishery man-
agers in gathering data on the effect this proposal may have on the
length of the federal season and bring back this information to the
February commission meeting.
'The important thing is it looks like we are going in a positive di-
rection for next year," said Commissioner Ron Bergeron about the
proposed federal season, which will potentially be lengthened in
2013.
Other options considered by the Commission included full con-
sistency with the federal season in all state waters, split seasons
that would open in spring and winter, and regional seasons.
The 2012 recreational gag grouper season was July 1 through
Oct. 31 in all federal and most state waters, with the exception of
state waters off Taylor, Jefferson, Wakulla and Franklin counties,
which were open April 1 through June 30.

Real estate news -

PRO releases
real estate statistics
The Pinellas Realtor Organization recently re-
leased its Pinellas County real estate statistics for
December 2012.
According to the report, single-family active list-
ings are down 27.19 percent from December of
2011, but the average sales price for single-family
active listings is up 15.72 percent. Active condo list-
ings are down 20.02 percent from December 2011,
but the average sales price for active condo listings
is up 8.7 percent. The slight decrease in total prop-
erty sales and active listings from November to De-
cember may be attributed to the busy holiday
season.
The report said that the strongest supply of in-
ventory continues to be condos. Currently, there is
an 8.3-month supply of condo inventory. Residen-
tial properties are at a 4.5-month supply and single-
family homes are the weakest link with a 3.8-month
supply of inventory.
According to the report, the lack of inventory, low
interest rates and slowly rising prices are set to cre-
ate the perfect storm.
"Certainly, there are other factors involved that
will either help or hinder the real estate market and
one such factor is the unemployment rate," the re-
port states. "When consumers begin to feel more
confident in the stability of their income they will
become more apt to buy."

Foundation to host seminars
The Community Service Foundation will host a


free, two-part household budgeting seminar on
Thursday, Feb. 21 and 28, 6 to 9 p.m., at Pinellas
County Housing Authority, 11479 Ulmerton Road,
Largo.
The seminar is designed for people who want to
live better on less or who want to save to buy a
home.
The foundation also will host a free, two-part first-
time homebuyer seminar on Tuesdays, Feb. 5 and
12, 6 to 9 p.m., at the Sunshine Center, 330 Fifth
St. N., St. Petersburg.
The seminar is designed to help first-time home-
buyers go through the process of purchasing a
home and qualifying for down payment and closing
costs assistance.
For information or to register for a seminar, call
461-0618, ext. 3, or visit www.csfhome.org.

Dolphins remind researcher just who holds the key


We got a great lesson the other day about who
runs our dolphin conservation project, and it isn't
me. It's the dolphins.
Dolphin Watch has often said that when we get to
watch dolphins, it is because the dolphins allow us
to watch them. If they don't want a boat hovering in
their vicinity, they can and do ditch that boat with
great facility.
That they so
often choose not Dolphin
to ditch our re- Watch
search boat, but Ann Weaver
instead allow us
to hover near
them to study
their ways and physical well-being as often as they
do, is a profound privilege that makes it easy to for-
get who holds the key to our database
Therefore, when every so often the dolphins re-
mind us that our study is possible only because
they allow or tolerate our periodic disturbances of
their privacy, it's a rueful reminder of who's running
the show. It puts everything back into perspective.
We were heading north when a half dozen dol-
phins, lined up side by side with no more than a
man's outstretched-arms distance between them,
appeared just on the other side of a small causeway
about half way through the study area we monitor
under federal permit. Capt. John Heidemann pulled
around in a wide U-tum and, as it appeared that
the dolphins were heading under the causeway,
slowly passed under the causeway as well, going
from sunny to shadowy and back to sunny waters
again.
We waited for the dolphins to surface on the other
side of the causeway but they did not. Instead, they
surfaced and milled about in the shadow of the
causeway, a very unusual thing for local dolphins to


do.
As if they finally decided upon their route, they
reformed their neat little parade rank, did a U-tum
and headed north. Our local dolphins often do these
kinds of abrupt U-tums, and it always makes me
wonder what hidden stimulus elicited their hasty
change of direction.
The group was a nursery group comprised of
three mother-calf pairs, all good friends. The calves
are all different ages.
Face's calf Facet was bom in May 2012; this is its
first experience with the chill of winter waters. Bet's
calf Ballou was bom in July of 2011 and triumphed
over a dramatic medical ordeal only to be bit by a
shark (Dolphin Watch's Wrestling with Dinosaurs).
Valiant's calf Vidalia was bom in February 2011 -
the only calf that we know of to be bom in winter -
and has triumphed over a number of medical chal-
lenges (starting with his icy nursery). The latter two
dolphins are recovering from sickly summers, and I
had more than the usual eagerness to collect pic-
tures of them to study in detail back at the lab.
As they swam slowly away from the causeway,
the wattage of the little nursery group waned even
further until they behaved like a school of fish. They
were falling asleep.
Ah, that's perfect for photography!
Sleeping or rather deeply dozing dolphins (for dol-
phins never sleep unconsciously as other mammals
do) are rhythmic and predictable. When they choose
to snooze next to the boat, their tranquil cadence
fills the biggest camera coffers and sends unwary
observers into meditative states. But this group
used another tactic of sleepy dolphins, which was to
swing back and forth under our boat, appearing
first to port, then starboard, port again and so on.
Moreover, they needed a lot of space between them
and us. We could stay in their general vicinity as


long as we stayed 60-80 feet away.
Finally, they snoozed underwater, so we only saw
them every once in a while. None of this was con-
ducive to getting the detailed photographs I prefer
for my dolphin database, but I should have been
more appreciative: They would send an even
stronger reminder of who holds the key to field re-
search later that day.
Data collected, we continued to the northern end
of our study route, did our own U-tum and headed
south, cruising across the same bays we'd covered
going north. In the distance, we saw a little group of
dolphins. One was an unmistakable bright light
gray and missing the top part of her dorsal fin: Bal-
lou. It was the nursery group again.
They turned and headed toward us, lifting their
heads out of the water to look at us. This gesture
also lifted their bright white rounded chins out of
the water, and for a moment, we had the impression
that a quartet of light bulbs was swimming over.
We headed over to them. Then, we spent several

blowholes have cleared the water,
creating a voluptuous babble of
bubbles just as Bet does in this
photo.

minutes looking in all directions. Huh! The dolphins
had utterly disappeared.
Postscript ... None of this story was meant to
teach boaters how to move around dolphins be-
cause it is illegal to approach them without a re-
search permit. Just as the dolphins reminded me
that it is they who hold the key to our research, I
must remind readers about laws for boating around
marine mammals: Boaters who do not hold a re-
search permit are bound by law to stay 50 yards
away from dolphins and 100 yards away from man-
atees. Nobody is above the law when it comes to
marine mammals, even permit holders.

ministration. Send her an email at dazzled@tam

or 877433-8299.

McGough Park names
red-shouldered hawk
LARGO The George C. McGough Nature Park
has named its new female red-shouldered hawk
Shay.


Shay was found with a shattered bone in the tip
of her right wing.
She was brought to a veterinary office in Tarpon
Springs where staff had to amputate a section of her
wing.
Due to Shay's injury, she is no longer suited to
live in the wild and has found a permanent home at
McGough Nature Center.
Shay's enclosure and feeding is sponsored by the
Clearwater Audubon Society and she receives free
medical care from the veterinary staff at Busch Gar-
dens.
Visitors can see Shay in the center's new bird
show on Wednesdays, 11 a.m.
For information, call 518-3047 or visit LargoNa

Lower speed limits
Editor:
Thanks for the fine article on Largo's pedestrian safety campaign.
The planned measures are excellent, but no mention is made of an in-
expensive and highly effective measure: lower speed limits, especially
on narrow roads where a limit of 30 mph is too high.
Right now a petition is circulating among Largo residents in the
area south of Bonner Park, urgently requesting the City Commission
to lower speed limits in that area, with many narrow roads, few side-
walks, and a great many pedestrians, to 25 mph. The residents who
have signed so far feel very strongly that a limit as high as 30 mph is
unsafe and inappropriate, and they hope that the commission will
consider the merits of their request.
Their request is not addressed by the otherwise excellent speed
studies carried out very thoroughly by Largo police, as these studies
do not examine the appropriateness of 30 mph limits on specific
roads.
No engineering studies would be needed as any driver in the area
can see the type of roads.
Studies have shown that 10 percent of pedestrians hit by cars mov-
ing at 20 mph are likely to be fatally injured, but 90 percent of people
hit by cars moving at 40 mph suffer fatal injuries.
Hopefully, the commission will give the merits of this petition care-
ful consideration.

A dangerous, lawless Largo
Re: "Watch Your Step," pedestrian safety series, Jan. 3 and Jan. 10.
Editor:
I just can't believe the excuses as to why it's dangerous and who's
fault it is. The people writing these articles obviously don't walk the
sidewalks and intersections. Why is it so dangerous to cross a street
when there's a big white walk signal? Because of the turn-right-on-
red law. That's right; people are given the right to cruise through a red
light. It was the law to come to a complete stop, look both ways, and
only if it's clear, turn right with caution, but when they admit that, as
long as your doing 12 mph or less and your not putting other people
in danger, it's OK to run that red light.
My wife and I walk mostly on East Bay Drive between U.S. 19 and
Missouri Avenue to Rosary Road. We have been spit at, cussed at,
threatened, and almost ran down. Not only is it the cars on the street,
but it's also the bicycles, scooters, oversized wheelchairs, vines, trees,
bushes, weeds, grass, garbage cans, fences, dogs, kids, drug addicts,
drug dealers, alcoholics, bus stops, and bolts sticking up from the
sidewalk that I tripped over last night, etc. Walking in Largo is ex-
tremely dangerous. I have emailed the Largo mayor, police chief, com-
missioners, public works, code enforcement and everyone else
concerned. So guess what their answer is, excuses as to why they
have a hard time getting up from behind their desk and walk the
streets that they use as a platform to get votes, or how they're under-
manned and this problem is not high enough on their priority pole.
They begged for the job, but only care about their next paycheck.
But, let me get back on the subject of a dangerous, lawless Largo:
Bus stops should be built before the intersection not after. Bus
stops encourage jaywalking, which is almost never enforced. There
should be a lot less stops.
There should be a red light camera at every intersection and en-
force the law or put up some inexpensive "no turn on red" signs. Peo-
ple worry that the camera's are just for money, well, collect all the
money you want, because these intersections are a lot safer for the
pedestrian.
Get the cops to enforce the "Yield to U turns" law. That's right, be-
fore you turn right on that red light you have to wait for people to
complete their U turn. This is a dangerous situation for pedestrians.
Another dangerous situation is bikes without lights speeding up
and down the sidewalks. This is another law that's ignored.
This only touches the tip of the iceberg.

Food for thought
Re: Keeping Largo pedestrians safe, Largo Leader, Jan. 10
Editor:
"City works to educate residents, improve crosswalks and roads to
reduce fatalities." This sounds like a good workable plan. However,
people need to be killed or crippled for life before action is taken on
serious intersections in Largo. I am a new resident in Largo, coming
from several relatives and friends in police work. The intersection
mentioned on the front page on Jan. 10 pulled my heartstrings to
write this letter.
Sometimes the answer is right in front of you but is so simple no
one has discussed this with the traffic department. I would suggest,
with the problem of right turn on red, the signs be placed next to the
red/yellow/green light in the right lane.
Keene Road and East Bay Drive was in question and 99 percent of
the drivers making a right in front of CVS do not stop or let a walker
go by, I know, I have had this experience. Does the Largo police chief
have a say in this matter? Traffic department? Commissioners?
Food for thought.
Now I feel better.

The government answers to the people
Editor:
In response to a letter against an American citizen to own a
weapon, it must be stated that this was intended to ensure that citi-
zens had weapons to protect themselves against those in and out of
our country who want to take away our inalienable rights. This specif-
ically is meant to protect us from a tyrannical federal government!
The Congress and the President do not have the right to take our
rights away.
Any changes in the Constitution comes from the people not the gov-
ernment that answers to the people!
Right now this president does not have the support of all the peo-
ple!

A warning about domestic violence
Editor:
Super Bowl Sunday is a few days away. It may be a great day for
football, but it is the worst day of the year for domestic violence.
Congress has failed to renew the Violence Against Women Act.
Shame on them. Please be careful. Remember domestic violence is al-
cohol-fueled. Please be careful.

Characters we may have known


How many "characters" have you encoun-
tered in your lifetime? I'm not talking about
symbols, or letters of the alphabet. I'm refer-
ring to those men and women who, either by
intent or accident, gain the reputation of
being a "character." Often the full term is "real
character." 'That guy Charlie he's a real
character!"
A character is sometimes referred to by
other names. Such as a "real card." Or a "nut
case." Or a "queer fish." Take your pick, but
be ready to define your choice. Tags can be
tricky.
What makes a character a character? What
makes one person a character to some of his
acquaintances, and a pain in the neck to ev-
eryone else he knows? How many genuine
characters should you expect to meet in a life-
time? If you can't immediately answer those
questions, don't feel bad. We're talking about
a foggy, ill-defined area.
Years ago I knew a character I'll call Henry,
an intense, talkative, sometimes overwhelm-
ing man. He was an artist, sailboat jockey,
gun lover and erstwhile recovered alcoholic.
He carried a pistol in his sock, just in case.
An evening in Henry's presence could leave
you exhausted but thoroughly entertained.
You didn't have to search for conversational
topics Henry took care of that. He was gen-
erally well informed, but he carried with him a
number of ideas that were so far out in left
field you couldn't even see them. He stayed
sober for many years, and helped dozens of
other alcoholics. Then one day he decided to
go back to drinking, which he did, in moder-
ate fashion, until his death. I've never known
another alcoholic who could carry off that
trick without quickly crashing, but Henry did
it. He was a character, at least by my esti-
mate.


Bob Driver





I could never be a character. I'm too dull. I
have a few quirks (we all do) but I'm conven-
tional in most respects. Characters always
have one or more traits that are out of
bounds in the eyes of "normal" persons.
Sooner or later, a true character will go off
the reservation, sometimes by breaking the
law but usually by just being stubborn, self-
willed or passionate about a cause or a per-
sonal belief.
Is Donald Trump a character? He could be,
if he were likeable or amusing. But he's not.
The Donald is a pain. Most characters al-
though irritating at times are not really
painful to be around. They are usually amus-
ing in some fashion, often without trying.
But being funny doesn't automatically
qualify a person to be known as a character.
I'm sitting here thinking of all the professional
comedians we know, and I'm having trouble
identifying any of them as full-fledged charac-
ters. One reason for that: a comedian is a per-
former. He/she is trying to be entertaining,
and that immediately disqualifies him. A true
character doesn't have to try to be one. He's
that way because he can't help it.
Politicians are sometimes characters, or at
least come close to being one. Lyndon John-
son might have deserved the title of "a real
character" because of his quirks and habits, if


only he hadn't been so mean and vengeful. A
character is seldom a frightening person, and
LBJ could (and did) scare the wits out of his
opponents.
Jack Kennedy was a man of memorable
traits, but I don't think he could be called a
character. Same way with Richard Nixon.
Both men were conniving souls who tried to
shape their reputations for public consump-
tion. But a true character doesn't much care
what the public thinks of him. Teddy Roo-
sevelt lived on the brink of character-dom (if
such a word exists). So did Calvin Coolidge.
The late Senator Everett Dirksen (R-Illinois)
was a character. His florid oratorical style
earned him the nickname "The Wizard of
Ooze." He campaigned hard for the marigold
to be adopted as the national flower. The
Texan Ross Perot, who sort of ran for presi-
dent in 1992, was a full-fledged character,
and it probably cost him his chance at the
White House. Does today's Congress contain
any characters? Probably, but the normal go-
ings-on in the House and Senate are so
bizarre it's hard to tell who's a character and
who's not.
If you are determined to meet a character,
associate with dogs. The canine world is flush
with pets whose personalities are funny, un-
predictable and borderline crazy. Today I'm
close to two dogs a mini-schnauzer named
Max and a white whippet, Annabelle. Max is a
fanatic in the defense of his home, but he's
not really a character. But Annabelle is. Her
love of life, people and adventure catapult her
outside the lines almost every day. I guess
that's where all characters are most at home:
outside the lines.

Arming our schools is not the way


Armed guards patrol the perimeter of a
fenced facility. Vehicles are inspected as they
travel in and out of a checkpoint with more
armed guards and police dogs.
The facility is not a prison or military base.
It's an elementary school. It's a middle
school. It's a high school. It's a college.
Students, teachers and staff pass through
metal detectors at an entrance manned by
more armed guards. Inside even more armed
guards roam the halls, making rounds
through classrooms, bathrooms, offices and
dining rooms. Outside, they patrol play-
grounds, school grounds, gymnasiums and
sports fields.
Will elementary school children and other
students really feel safe in such an environ-
ment? Or will they be traumatized by the
constant reminder that they're in danger?
Who thinks there has to be a better way?
The National Rifle Association and others
say we can keep our children safe using gun-
toting guards at our schools. Maybe my
imagination is working overtime but I can't
help but visualize something closer to a police
state.
But I don't like guns. They make me nerv-
ous. My father's father was killed in a hunt-
ing accident years ago. I never knew him. We
didn't have guns in our house. We didn't
have guns in our schools.
I lived through integration in the early
1970s. I remember too well the tension in the
hallways during those first few months as
black and whites were forced together. There
were threats, fights and rumors of knives, but
no guns. The biggest problems were caused
by outsiders bused in to hold protests in the
park just outside the school grounds. But
they didn't bring guns.
I remember feeling worried, but never real-
ly scared. Most of my teachers did a good job

of making a place where everyone felt they be-

I can't imagine going to school in a place

Our kids are hurting.
Violence and killing are
romanticized on TV, in
video games and on news
broadcasts. They're
becoming desensitized to
blood and death.

where armed guards were the norm. I fear
that arming our schools would create a belief
that we can't be safe without protection of
guards. I think the lesson we would commu-
nicate to our children would cause undue
harm. I fear it would lead to more confronta-
tions involving guns as we teach our kids to
associate guns with safety and self-protec-
tion.
We have to address the reasons our youth
are turning to violence. We need to better
train our teachers and school counselors in
mental health issues and ask them to look
closer for signs of children and youth who
need help. Instead of ignoring those who don't
quite fit in, the quiet ones, the belligerent


ones, the anti-social kids, they need to stand
up for them, protect them and in turn protect
everyone around them.
Parents have to be more responsible. They
have to pay attention to their kids. They have
to reach out for help if needed. And help must
be available. Parenting isn't taught in schools,
although I think it should be. Parents are re-
sponsible for their children, but society needs
to be responsible for making sure parenting is
an important part of our world.
Our kids are hurting. Violence and killing
are romanticized on TV, in video games and
on news broadcasts. They're becoming desen-
sitized to blood and death. No one is teaching
them the difference between pretend and real-
ity. No one is teaching them that violence is
not the answer.
While arming schools might indeed prevent
future tragedies, it won't do away with the
reasons our youth are choosing such drastic
actions.
Why do they do what they do? Where do
the ideas come from? How do they learn to
shoot and kill? How do they get access to the
weapons? What would make a kid choose to
shoot down teachers, fellow classmates or in
the more recent case, innocent elementary
school children?
Until we find those answers, we can't pre-
vent other tragedies. We can arm our schools
and meet violence with violence. But is that
the means to an end or just a way to perpetu-
ate tragedy?
We must come together and find a better
way to deal with this problem and keep guns
out of our school. Our kids are depending on
us.
I'm not anti-guns. They have their purposes
and Americans certainly have the legal rights
to own them. But, do guns really create a
safer environment? I think not.

ST. PETE BEACH The very best crafters in
the country return to the area for the 19th annu-
al St. Pete Beach Corey Area Craft Festival on
Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26-27, 10 a.m. to 5
p.m., on Corey Avenue in downtown St. Pete
Beach.
Admission is free and the event is open to the
public.
This upscale event literally transforms Corey
Avenue into an outdoor craft gallery. The open-
air show will feature quality affordable crafts
handmade in America. A full range of craft art
mediums will be exhibited and shoppers will find
everything from folk art, pottery and handmade
jewelry to paintings, personalized gift items and
scented soaps available for purchase. The event
also will include a Green Market with exotic and
unique plants.
Sponsored by the Corey Avenue Merchants As-
sociation, this family-friendly craft event has be-
come a tradition. The association sponsors a
variety of community programs throughout the
year, showcasing local and national artists and
crafters.
This year, dozens of the nation's best contempo-
rary crafters and artists will display their creations
amidst Corey Avenue's shops and restaurants.
Arts and crafts collectors will find treasures
priced for as little as $3 to as much as $3,000.
Howard Alan Events are designed to help sup-
port the arts, the Corey Avenue Merchants Associ-
ation and the local economy. A portion of the
proceeds benefits St. Pete Beach Corey Area Mer-
chants.
In order to ensure a superior event with quality
affordable original crafts, all of the local and na-
tional crafters have been hand-selected from hun-
dreds of applicants by American Craft Endeavors,
producers of the top outdoor craft festivals in the


country. All of the crafters will be at the festival
with their finest work, available to discuss their art
and inspiration.
The juried outdoor craft showcase will include a
vast array of craft media, such as folk art, pottery,
handmade jewelry, personalized gifts, handmade
clothing, scented soaps and body products.
Among the crafters scheduled to participate in
this year's festival are John Raya, Zack Marksz
and Katherine Weisinger.
Raya began his career in art by sketching fa-
vorite comic book characters as a child. According
to his website, his two passions in life cartooning
and sculpting eventually took him to Universal
Studios in California where he worked summers
as a cartoonist between stints at Cal State at
Fullerton where he studied the three Ds: dating,
dancing and design.
With a knack for quick-sketch caricature,
Raya's art drew him to Disneyland where he
would sometimes sketch up to 400 people in a
single day. He next found his way to Walt Disney
World in Florida, where as an art director he was
responsible for artists operations in the theme
park.
In 1975, Raya began developing his Beasties of
the Kingdom series.
Marksz, a fine jewelry crafter, maintains sus-
tainable practices by getting his silver from Hoover
and Strong, which provides 100 percent recycled
material. Zack's father has been a full-time profes-
sional silversmith and jewelry artisan since the
late 1960s and he has been apprenticing under
him for more than 10 years. He also has gleaned
much of his skills from his two uncles and aunt
who are also silversmiths and jewelry artisans that
apprenticed under his father.
Weisinger uses real flowers and leaves in her jew-
elry. They are protected from fading by enriching the

taining intertwined storylines that must be
seen to be believed.

By LEE CLARK ZUMPE

CLEARWATER Robin Williams, Frankie Valli

Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater.

Kicking off the month will be Robin Williams, tak-
ing the stage Friday, Feb. 1, 8 p.m. Tickets start at

In a rare Tampa Bay appearance, Williams will
undoubtedly bring along his repertoire of indelible
characters. Well known for his free-associative
monologues and for pointing out life's absurdities
through his astute social and political observations,
Williams performed 90 shows in 65 cities before
300,000 fans over the course of his most recent
stand-up tour.
Born in Chicago and raised in both Michigan and
California, Williams trained at New York's Juilliard
School under John Houseman. It was in 1978 when
Williams first captured the attention of the world as
Mork from Ork on the hit television series, "Mork &
Mindy," which ran on ABC for four seasons.
Williams will be appearing along with David
Steinberg for an evening of laughs at Ruth Eckerd
Hall.
For the first time since his sold-out show in 2011,
Willie Nelson will perform in concert Saturday, Feb.
2, 8 p.m. Tickets start at $48.50.
The iconic Texan is the creative genius behind
historic recordings like "Crazy," "Hello Walls," "Red
Headed Stranger" and "Stardust." His career has
spanned six decades and his catalog boasts more
than 200 albums. He's earned every conceivable
award and honor to be bestowed on a person in his
profession and he also has amassed reputable cre-
dentials as an author, actor and activist.
Special guest Lukas Nelson will open the show.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra will play Monday,
Feb. 4, 1 p.m. Tickets start at $18.
An annual favorite, this 16-piece orchestra con-

Next, the Lowe Family will take the stage Tues-
day, Feb. 5, 1 p.m. Tickets start at $18.

talented family finally comes to Ruth Eckerd Hall for

stopping classical, Broadway, Irish, jazz, bluegrass,

mony, gospel and more.

mantics program to Ruth Eckerd Hall on Wednes-
day, Feb. 6, 10 a.m. Tickets start at $24.
Part of the Coffee Concerts series, the program
will feature Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, Liszt's
Les Preludes and Schumann's Manfred Overture,

morning concert, with complimentary coffee and
doughnuts served before the performance.
Koba Entertainment will present "Strawberry
Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat" Friday,
Feb. 8, 6 p.m. Tickets start at $25.
This all-new musical production features the
most spirited red-haired girl, Strawberry Shortcake.
Strawberry Shortcake, and her best friends Orange


Blossom, Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Muffin,
Raspberry Torte, Plum Pudding and Cherry Jam,
prove that little girls can do berry big things. This
musical adventure takes the audience to the whim-
sical land of Berry Bitty City where the whole town
is buzzing with anticipation for the Glitzy Glaze Tal-
ent Show. Follow Strawberry Shortcake and the rest
of the girls as they each prepare for their moment in
the spotlight.
Before the sweet berry girls hit the stage, atten-
dees will sing and dance with The Doodlebops. Re-
sponding to calls from their legions of clamoring
fans, Rooney, Moe and Dee Dee Doodle will take the
stage in a live concert performance that gets their
whole audience movin' and groovin'.
Next up, Ruth Eckerd Hall will welcome Frankie
Valli & the Four Seasons Saturday, Feb. 9, 8 p.m.
Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons were inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, just
five years after its creation. With his remarkable
baritone to falsetto voice, Valli has charted 71 hits
including 40 in the Top 40, 19 in the Top 10 and
eight that made it to No. 1. From his initial hit
"Sherry" through "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

Boys," he and the Four Seasons had sold more than
100 million records even before the invention of
CDs.
As part of its Pops Series, The Florida Orchestra

productive years in the long career of Steve Miller,
an artist at the peak of his powers. In 2010 came

album and its first since 1993's "Wide River." Less
than a year later, the band followed up with "Let
Your Hair Down."
One of rock music's all-time greats, the Steve
Miller Band has sold more than 30 million records
in a career spanning more than 40 years. His trade-

Eckerd Hall. White has always been a classic storyteller. His routines
relay tales from his real life; ranging from growing up in a small town
in Texas to joining the ranks of some of the most successful comedians
in America. He is a certified platinum-selling artist, having sold more
than 10 million No. 1 albums. White has been nominated for two
Grammy Awards and continues to be one of the top five grossing co-
medians on tour. Furthermore, White's three Comedy Central stand-
up specials are the top three rated specials in Comedy Central history.

People's Tenor," Andy Cooney, "Irish America's Favorite Son" (The New
York Times) and Daniel Rodriguez, the New York City police officer
whose voice soothed the grief of millions during the days following
Sept. 11, 2001. The three tenors will join forces and create a "can't
miss" showcase of some of the world's greatest melodies sung by some
of the world's greatest voices.

George Lucas, the film revolves around young Sarah, who is left home
alone by her parents to babysit her little brother Toby. When the baby
keeps crying, Sarah, while telling him a story to make him sleep, in-
advertently conjures from a fantasy world the Goblin King who steals
the child and brings him to his castle in the middle of a labyrinth.
Sarah has to rescue him before midnight, or the baby will became a
goblin.

rhythm and blues feel that is the Jukes' trademark, the driving sound
of the legendary Jukes horn section and a guitar-orientated rock and
roll feel all with the joy of making music that has defined them for
more than three decades. Bruce Springsteen, Steve Van Zandi, Garry
Tallent and Jon Bon Jovi have all played with the Jukes.

Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater. Tickets
start at $59. Call 791-7400 or visit www.rutheckerdhall.com. An
Academy Award-winning actor and multiple Grammy Award-winning
performer, Williams is unparalleled in the scope of his imagination
and continues to add to his repertoire of indelible characters. Well
known for his free-associative monologues and for pointing out life's
absurdities through his astute social and political observations,
Williams performed 90 shows in 65 cities before 300,000 fans over
the course of his most recent stand-up tour. It was in 1978 when
Williams first captured the attention of the world as Mork from Ork
on the hit television series "Mork & Mindy," which ran on ABC for
four seasons. He then made his cinematic debut in 1980 when he
starred as the title character in Robert Altman's "Popeye." His addi-
tional film credits include 'The World According to Garp," "Moscow
on the Hudson," "Good Morning Vietnam," "Dead Poets Society," 'The
Fisher King, Hook," "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Jumanji," "The Birdcage,"
"Good Will Hunting," "Patch Adams" and "Night at the Museum."
Williams will be appearing along with David Steinberg for an evening
of laughs.

hall.com. Part of the 2012-13 Adults at Leisure Series, this 16-piece

true to the legacy of the band that broke attendance records up and
down the East Coast and had 31 Top 10 hits in 1940.
Willie Nelson, Saturday, Feb. 2, 8 p.m., at Ruth Eckerd Hall,
1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater. Tickets start at $$48.50. Call
791-7400 or visit www.rutheckerdhall.com. A living legend, this iconic
Texan is the creative genius behind historic recordings like "Crazy,"
"Hello Walls," "Red Headed Stranger" and "Stardust." Nelson's career
has spanned six decades. His catalog boasts more than 200 albums.
He's earned every conceivable award and honor to be bestowed on a
person in his profession. He has also amassed reputable credentials as
an author, actor and activist. Nelson tours tirelessly, climbing aboard
Honeysuckle Rose III (he rode his first two buses into the ground), tak-
ing his music and fans on a seemingly endless journey to places that
were well worth the ride.
