I en rcMTC un I AF A1 NIIMRFR 40 County may cut back beach cleaning Currently crews clear public beaches of sea- weed after two tidal cycles. The proposed new policy calls for identifying areas where the material will be allowed to remain. BY JOHN HAUGHEY STAFF WRITER The Sarasota County Parks & Recreation Department wants beachgoers to know that decomposing strands of seaweed along the "wrack- line" is a good thing. But South County resi- dents may find this public information campaign is a bit of a fish story. Sarasota County commis- sioners Tuesday reviewed the county's beach-cleaning poli- cy, which may be changed by the end of the year to be more environmentally sensitive. County officials want to allow beached seaweed, dead fish and other marine dreck to remain above the wrackline - the surf line longer than is currently permitted. Right now, county crews clear public beaches of sea- weed after two tidal cycles. The proposed new policy calls for identifying areas where, the material will be allowed to remain. "There are parts of the beach where the seaweed will remain, and there are areas where the expectation is it will Please see BEACH, 6A THIS EDITION 1 LET'S G1O 8 AN FnITION OF THE SUN WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY EDITION, JUNE 21-22,2006 1000027527 122706 02 Ui) OF FLORIDA LIERPAIES LIBRARY OF FLORIDA HISTORY PO IOX 117007 205 SnA UNIU. OF FLORIDTA gAINSVILLE FL 32611 Newbie guide to Florida summers Summer is not all lemonade in the shade here. There are hurricanes and sandspurs and alligators and lightning among other things. BY ROBERT BOWDEN STAFF WRITER We haven't had summer yet. *These past few hot weeks have been a mere taste of what lies ahead when sum- mer officially begins today (Wednesday). History, of course, will repeat itself. We can learn from it. Residents who have spent numerous summers in Florida know what to do. They build cabins in North Carolina mountains and spend summers fishing for rainbow trout in cool creek waters. But our area is growing rapidly with newbies to our endless summer days. They need the benefit of veteran wisdom. We must tell them the truth. While it's true that sum- mers in Florida can be beach visits, relaxing in backyard hammocks, bar- becuing hot dogs for visiting grandkids, watching the Fourth of July fireworks dis- play against a background of a distant lightning storm and photographing colorful sunsets, there is so very much more these folks need to understand. to worry about, For instance: The weather forecast: Get ready for monotonous forecasts that tell us it will be hot and humid, with scat- tered showers in the late afternoon. Highs will be in the mid-90s, lows in the high 70s. Rain chance is 30 percent. Winds will be light and variable. Seas will be under 3 feet. Take it away, sports anchor. Yawn. But these repetitious forecasts will periodically be replaced with images of frantic news types wearing slickers, standing in driving rain and wind, yelling into a microphone that no one should be where they are, that the area is doomed. Behind them, defying approaching Armageddon, teens in baggy shorts will jump up and down, waving their arms, and little kids will scamper about. This is all because of: Hurricanes: This part of Southwest Florida avoided these monsters of the trop- ics for about 45 years. We barely paid attention to storm projections. Hurri- canes went somewhere else. Became someone else's problem. SUN FILE PHOTO During periods of extended rain where flooding occurs, residents need to be careful when walking through high water or around objects on higher ground. Fire ants will ball up in water or seek higher ground. Contact could be life threatening. SUN FILE PHOTO The west coast of Florida is often said to be "the lightning capital of the world."There are other areas in the world making claim to that statement, but in our area during the sum- mer months, there is no shortage of electricity in the air and caution should be taken. There was even a theory that Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay created micro- climates that acted as hurri- cane repellents. The theory helped sell a few northern- ers on local housing but was dashed on the rocks of reali- ty on Aug. 13, 2004. Hurricane Charley flick- ed the microclimate notion into the Atlantic Ocean and roared straight up Charlorce Harbor. The destruction was extensive and heartbreak- ing. No\w we worry. And one measure of how bad a hurri- cane season will be is how many days this summer we'll be worrying about some storm at sea. The con- sensus of experts on this topic is that there'll be a bunch of worrisome days. Another banner hurri- cane season is in store this year, they predict, following two terrible, record-setting seasons. Blame global warming or a butterfly flap- ping its wings in India, but pay attention to what's hap- pening over warm tropical waters and plan what you'll do if a big swirly mass heads our direction and The Weather Channel's Jim, Cantore is on TV shouting from the seawall nearby. 'Lightning: Anyone with a death wish shouldn't wait for an angry alligator to tire of eating poodles and decide a human might be tasty. Just head for the near- est golf course and raise that metal club high over your head. Statistics tell us that most lightning deaths occur in Florida about 4 p.m. Sun- days on golf courses in July. So make your reservation now. Lightning is far more deadly in Florida than alli- gators or sharks. Our area of Florida is known as the Lightning Capital of the United States, in fact. A general rule is that lightning will become se- vere every time your gas gauge is on empty and you need to fill up the tank. Lightning is a hazard faced almost daily once the summer rain pattern settles in. Speaking of the: Summer rainy pattern: Set the watch. It's 4 o'clock and that black mass of clouds is moving westward toward us. Usually, the rainy season has started by now. It's late this year, forecasters agree. Any day now. It'll start.

Tuesday the commission voted 5-1 to denying the Valencia Lakes resident a spe- cial exemption for his 68-foot radio antenna, which was installed without a building permit. Planning Commis- sion Chair John Osmulski was the lone vote in favor of the tower.. The Valencia Lakes subdi- vision is zoned low-density; a 35-foot antenna would have been allowed, but Haig said the lower antenna would have been inadequate for his needs. Haig, a licensed radio ama- teur, is director of the Tami- ami Radio Club and one of 80 operators in the area that make up the Diocese Ama- teur Radio Network. Their communication area is from Bradenton to Naples (the archdiocese covers 10 coun- ties), and a shorter tower does not provide full coverage, he said. Haig contends the antenna was erected for emergency communication, but is not affiliated with other local emergency communication networks. Disappointed SSome of Haig's neighbors turned out to voice their con- cerns about the towering tower. "My No. 1 concern is safe- ty," John Moser said, "speak- ing practically not technically, not if it will come down, but when it will come down." Loretta Pickett, the Haigs' next-door neighbor, said the antenna is an eyesore, and worried that the wind could cause it to come loose and become a safety hazard. Several others had similar fears and concerns, but Robert Lincoln, Haig's attor- ney, said there wasn't one word from an expert or a shred of proof that their con- cerns could one day become reality. City Attorney Wayne Hall agreed. "The applicant has dem- onstrated his need for over 35 feet," he said. 'All guests today spoke of safety; perhaps if we could assure it's constructed for safety through special exception...." Lincoln also informed the commission that in August 2003 the Valencia Lakes Homeowners Association sent Haig a letter approving his request to build the tower, subject to limitations. In October 2003, Haig sent a let- ter back to the association, addressing its concerns. In November 2003, David Peterson of Peterson Homes - coincidentally, the head of the homeowners association - wrote a letter to Haig telling him he was approved to build the tower. Commission members weren't convinced. Lincoln said they made the wrong Please see TOWER, 6A Good morning, Gondolier Sun subscriber, JOHN VAWTER ..',' 1, l~ ~ ,:4 i L '. , FRONT SECTION COUNTY SIGNS...............4...4A OPINION 8A LEGALS 12A POLICE BEAT .............. ... .....7A LET'EM HAVE IT ...................9A SCHOOL CONSULTANT ........BA LOTTO 2A SPORTS 10A OBITUARIES ....................... 7A WEATHER 2A -,. . . -'. . : -I.-f .. . . . i Ni "rWNAILI CIW'^II1 LET'S GOI SECTION ALSO INSIDE CROSSWORD ....................8B SUDOKU 6B DAYTRIP 8LG COFFEE BREAK ......................2B SOUTH NEWS........................5B JOE GIORGIANNI ................2LG DAVE BARRY ...................6...6B VENUE 3B MOVIES ........................ ..0....1 OLG LOCAL PHOTOS .................12B WELL-BEING........................7B FST IMPROV ......... ...............4LG M ILESTONES.......................10B CLASSIFIED AMERICAN PROFILE 3U Uri 13 VULUIVIED I NUIVIDEnw MIN FAFI I lull WIF 1 911. aull OUK TQWN 5FU.TIUN I WWW.VENICEGONDOLIER.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2006 2A VENICE GONDOLIER SUN ALMANAC BACK IN TIME POINT HOUSE AT CASEY'S PASS, 1936 I' PHOTO COURTESY OF VENICE ARCHIVES "Point House" at Casey's Pass was built in 1913 by Belle Schutt (Mrs. Walter Schutt).

Hot summer trivia BY ROBERT BOWDEN STAFF WRITER Summer trivia you need to know: See a lightning flash? Count as you listen for thun- der. Every count to five means the lightning bolt is 1 mile away. The Catholic Church in Arcadia has lightning rods on its roof. Want to hear lightning on your radio? Tune the AM band as far left as you can. Static "scratches" are caused by lightning. If the static becomes constant, a torna- do is within listening dis- tance. The intensity of sunlight reaching Florida is 10 percent less today compared to the 1950s, due to a looming problem called "global dim- ming" caused by particulate pollution of the atmosphere. Jim Cantore is a really nice guy, but shorter than you might think. More people are killed by drowning in inland flood- ing than from any other as- pect of a landfalling hurri- cane.

BY RYAN BOYD STAFF WRITER Members of the Corridor Advocacy Group, aiming at developing State Road 776 into a scenic highway, made strides Friday in trying to complete the first phase of a three-phase scenic highway approval process.; Group members divided the 25-mile corridor into 12 segments. Within those sec- tions, group members must identify its amenities, like parks, recreation complexes and museums, and write small descriptions of each. There are six highway in- trinsic resource categories, including recreational, scen- ic, archeological, historic, cul- tural and natural that the group must satisfy before S.R. 776 can be declared scenic. Advocacy group members said that: when the group completes this portion of the project, they'll submit iit to the state's Scenic Highway Advisory Committee for its approval in hopes of moving on to the next phase. The Lemon Bay Myakka Trail will travel from S.R. 776 with two loop roads extend- ing from it Old Englewood Road and Dearborn Street in Sarasota County and County roads 775 and 771 in Char- lotte County. The S.R. 776 highway runs through both counties, starting at the inter- section of U.S. 41 and S.R. 1776 in South Venice and ending at the U.S. 41-S.R. 776 intersection in Murdock. "It's a hard process be- cause it is a grass roots (effort)," said Kathryn Ortega, a consultant for the project. "It's being done by regular citizens and the (Department, of Transportation) recognizes that and that's why they hired a consulting firm to help the citizens complete the application." There are three phases the advocacy group must com- plete before the state's Scenic Highway Advisory Commit- tee could approve S.R. 776 as a scenic highway. The group must be ap- proved in the eligibility phase; designation phase, for which they will devise a corridor management plan; and the implementation SUN PHOTO BY BOB MUDGE The view north on the recently opened Pinebrook Road extension shows new black asphalt, grafitti-less walls, plenty of green grass in the medians and no landscaping. The trees in the background are on land west of the road. phase, where they'll institute the plan. Ortega said that with the state's approval, the counties will benefit substantially. "There are additional' grants and funding available to improve roadways and beautify the area," she said. 'And you're only eligible if you are designated as a scenic highway." With the necessary fund- ing and added beauty, this area could be a more attrac- tive area for tourism, said Manon Lavioe, a board member. "There are people over- seas that plan their vaca- tions around scenic high- ways," Lavioe said. You can e-mail Ryan Boyd at: rboyd@sun-herald.com. Let Gondolier Sun Classifieds work for you.

Brush up Venice artist B. J. Carson stands in front of the mural she has completed on the east-facing wall of the Venice Little Theatre. BY JOHN HAUGHEY STAFF WRITER Incentives or inclusionary zoning-.or both? Sarasota County commis- sioners will discuss tweaking regulations to encourage af- fordable housing initiatives while pondering the imposi- tion of mandates that will require up to 10 percent of large-scale projects featuring moderately priced homes. Specifically, on Wednesday commissioners will update affordable housing induce- ments in mixed-use zoning areas when they meet at 9 a.m. in the County Admin- istrative Center, 1660 Ringling Blvd., in downtown Sarasota. The measure is a regulatory carrots crafted to reward vol- untary initiatives. Waiting in the wings is a policy stick inclusionary zoning that could make affordable. housing a required element of most proposed residential developments. A tentative inclusionary zoning proposal forwarded to commissioners this spring would require projects of more than 10 residential units make at least 10 percent of those homes, affordableafeor low- to moderate-income households. Builders that meet the 10- percent quota can qualify for a 20-percent increase in residential units permitted by. the project property's zoning. Developers can opt out of the 10-percent requirement by paying $75,000 for each unbuilt home in the afford- able category to the county's community housing trust. However, those who opt' out do not qualify for the density bonus since inclu- sionary zoning is designed to encourage mixed-income neighborhoods. Incentives Adopting an inclusionary zoning approach to promote affordable housing would be a contentious affair sure to spark opposition from area builders. Many have already voiced concerns about the possible imposition of such measures, which is why this, week's dis- cussions of incentive-based applications are pivotal. On May 24, commissioners reviewed a proposal to adopt incentives similar to those offered in Manatee County. County Community Hous- ing Manager Wendy Thomas said commissioners ques- tioned several aspects of the proposal. "They seemed to be more concerned with the density provisions, flexibility in zon- ing and setbacks, height lim- its," she said.

Doubled In 2004, Manatee County encoded a menu of options for developers with proposals in which at least 25 percent of residential units must qualify as affordable housing. In 2005, the number of pro- posals with an affordable housing component in the SUN PHOTOS BY JEFF TAVARES, jtavares@venicegondolier.com county more than doubled. Incorporating a wide range of incentives to in- duce, rather than mandate, affordable housing programs is appealing to commission- ers who have made an ex- pansion of the county's stock of moderately priced homes a priority, Thomas said. Commissioners have slashed administrative costs for affordable housing pro- posals, dedicated revenues from the sale of tax-defaulted lots in North Port to the county's community land trust, and incorporated mod- erately priced housing as a comprehensive plan policy, she said. "They have a broader understanding of the com- plexities of promoting, af- fordable housing," Thomas said. "I think they have a good understanding of what is needed and they are going to weigh and balance what they feel is best for this community." You can e-mailJohn Haughey at jhaughey@sun- herald.com.

County Emergency Management works year-round BY ANNE KLOCKENKEMPER STAFF WRITER It's not just about hurri- canes. Sarasota County Emergen- cy Management Chief Ed McCrane said the department actually works year-round. "We almost welcome hurri- cane season," McCrane told the North 'Port Community Health Action Team. "It gives us the opportunity to finer- tune the process we've come up with during the (rest of the) year." "We don't activate every time it rains," he said. "(If we did we'd) get 'Chicken Little' syndrome. But I do get calls every six hours to get up- dates." He said the "big legisla- tion" coming out of Talla- hassee the department has focused on this year dealt with pet sheltering, special- needs shelters and hardening emergency management centers so they can survive storms. : "Special needs was the most critical," he added. "We found the most critical pa- tients in Sarasota County used to go to the hospitals (for shelter during a hurricane). But from (Hurricane) Charley to the current times, the bur- den was placed on the hospi- tals. They need to take care of their critical care patients and, God forbid, any wound- ed. So we really need to give additional help to special- needs shelters. We're also educating the public that a hospital is not a shelter, so don't go there." I Sarasota County currently has two special-needs shel- ters, one in North County and another in South County. And another special-needs shelter will becbme available soon. McCrane prefers the location of those special-needs shelters not be publicized. "People on the special- needs list know where they are," he said, "but we want to discourage regular citizens from going to those shelters. Sometimes they'll show up anyway, just because they see the cars in the parking lot, but workers will just send them to other available shelters." McCrane said emergency management has been work- ing on updating and stream- lining their operations, as well as educating the public on where to get information and what to do in an emer- gency. He added that part of that involves letting the public know about what state and Lemon Bay water gets middling grades BYGAVIN OFF ASSISTANT ENGLEWOOD EDITOR Local environmental offi- cials agree with a .regional conservancy's finding that gave Lemon Bay an above- average grade for wildlife habitat and an average ,grade for water quality. "One of the problems is we're getting such a rapid influx of people who have no idea that the swanky, gated community they're moving into causes ever-increasing pollution in the bay," said Jack Taylor, vice president of the Lemon Bay Conservancy. The Conservancy of South- west Florida, a nonprofit organization founded in 1964, recently took data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to grade estuaries from the Everglades to Venice. Lemon Bay received a BT f&r wildlife habitat and a C for water quality. The estuaries found to have better habitat were Pine Island Sound and Ten Thousand Islands. Wiggins Pass also received a B-. Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Rookery Bay and Ten Thousand Islands were found to have better wa- ter quality than Lemon Bay. "We have no reason to challenge it," said Perry' Cook, director of the Lemon Bay Conservancy. "It's all very dis- appointing." The bay received a B- for wildlife habitat in part be- cause 62 percent of the bay's original wetlands are still in place, and green areas, like the 8,600-acre Myakka State Forest and Cedar Point En- vironment Park, have been preserved. But locals said the grades prove the need to preserve more land bordering Lemon Bay, particularly-the 80 acres around Buck Creek. Charlotte County officials are seeking to buy and protect at least 65 of those acres. The water near Buck Creek, located in Placida near Ro-' tonda West Boulevard, con- sistently tests as some of the poorest water in the area, said Bobbie Rodgers, Char- lotte Harbor Environmental Center's environmental re- source manager. Each month, Rodgers leads a team of volunteers who test the waters of seven of the bay's tributaries for bacteria and chlorophyll, as well as its levels of salinity, turbidity, dis- solved oxygen and nitrogen. Alligator Creek in Venice is another consistent "hot spot," Rodgers said. But the environmental center's water quality tests, which began eight years ago, are too recent to provide de- finitive data on the bay. "It takes eight to 10 years to really start to see trends," Rodgers said. "We had no base line to go by." Lemon Bay is home to numerous sea life, including red fish, spotted sea trout, snook, mullet, dolphin and manatees. To protect those animals, Taylor said, residents must find a better, porous alterna- tive to concrete and asphalt and must prevent algae-pro- ducing fertilizers from run- ning into the bay. He characterized the grades issued by the Con- servancy of Southwest Florida as "optimistically high," and said the health of Lemon Bay should not be res- idents' only concern. "We have to bear in mind that we have a Gulf of Mexico out there too," Taylor said. JUNIOR'S $ SAo ANY diamondd Shin CAR Car @)ash 6 Detaie Canter 0 F F! WASH iA/IOFF!

They depend on it to reproduce. No blood, no little ones. They'll target any piece of skin, leaving an itchy bite, but also can spread danger- ous diseases you don't want detailed on your medical bill to the insurance company. You can dress like an Eskimo, stay in air condition- ing 24 hours a day or slather yourself with chemicals we might find cancer-causing five years from now. Just know that no matter what you do, mosquitoes will be here after humankind has tripped the. final switch on this planet. Tornadoes and water- spouts: Florida tornadoes are rarely the killers found in other parts of the country, but they're pretty scary things. Especially fqr anyone living in a trailer. Tornadoes love trail- ers. It all begins high in a tur- bulent sky. Opposing winds roll up molecules like a lump of clay becoming a cylinder when you roll it between your hands. The clashing mole- cules generate electricity. Lightning begins. A down- draft pushes the base of the tornado toward the ground. And what we get is a giant vacuum tube needing to ground the electrical dis- charges in its low-pressure core. Does it seek metal for such a ground? Where can it find metal? Well, there's a trailer park just ahead... Fire ants: These illegal immigrants found Florida to their liking years ago and now are found everywhere in your yard. After Alberto's rains, the fire ants found it necessary to construct ant condominiums in the form of above-ground mounds. They hate wet feet. And they'll bite you if you mess with them. Still, you probably don't worry about them as much as: Sharks: These predators are like alligators much less of a menace than light- ning, but has there ever been a memorable movie made about lightning? Sharks are frightening. And our waters have plenty of them. Mostly, they leave people alone. When they don't, it's big news. But you're more likely to suf- fer injury from: Sandspurs: If only we could find a commercial use of sandspurs. Many home- owners here would be wealthy. These prickly nui- sances will grow in conditions that will croak a croton or belly-up a begonia. They're weeds that grow even in sand. They'll hitch a ride up the beach on your flip-flops and happily start a new colony. Flooding: This summer hazard is not unique to Florida. But summer rains and passing 'canes will flood intersections and even area rivers here. Take heart, how- ever. Florida flooding is almost never the "flash flood" variety the rest of the country worries about. We learn quickly of rising rivers. We even learn which intersec- tions to avoid when leaving TOWER from Pageo IA. decision for the wrong reason. k"I'm very disappointed that the board was persuaded by the emotions of the neigh- bors," he said, "rather than examine the merits and evi- dence of the criteria for spe- cial exception."

That expectation is great- est on Siesta Key, from Point of Rocks 2 miles north to Siesta Beach. "We have to recognize the impact tourism has," McCarthy said, noting a tidal premonitory at Point of Rocks is "hooking that seaweed right where the resorts are.". Therefore, this span will remain a priority for beach- cleaning crews while prac- tices elsewhere could be reevaluated under the pro- posed policy. Not all or nothing Siesta Key, Lido Key, North Jetty, Nokomis and Venice beaches are cleaned using a tractor-pulled grooming rake to remove seaweed and litter. But soft sand and steeper gradients on, ,Manasota, Key beaches make mechafiical- cleaning env\irouimen fallUv n- suitable and manual cleaning too expensive.

The consensus? "It gets kind of yucky," she said. Staub said the new policy would not be an issue if Manasota and Middle beach- es were cleaned and groomed more frequently than they are now. The spans combine for about 10 percent of the key's beachfront, she said. "The rest of the key can hold the seaweed," Staub said. "It's not all or nothing." System shifts County officials noted cleaning crews have pulled 9,000 tons of seaweed and dead fish off county beaches since 2002, a significant in- crease attributed to red tide die-offs. In 2002 alone, 4,500 truck- loads of organic decay were hauled off county beaches. JIJerris Foote, a naturalist "with the county Parks &_ Recreation Department, said seaweed and other natural materials washed ashore should be permitted to re- main in as many areas as pos- sible. Foote said preserving wracklines by leaving sea- weed on the beach provides many benefits, such as pro- viding shelter and sustenance for marine life vital to the food chain, and reducing sand erosion. Using a tractor-pulled grooming rake alters the surf ecosystem in such a way that it could contribute to "system shifts" elsewhere that endan- ger the "mosaics of organ- isms" critical to the environ- ment, she said. "If we were to clean all our beaches the. way we clean Siesta Key Beach, we riight as well kiss our natural beach resources goodbye," Com- missioner Jon Thaxton agreed. If they allow mounds of molting seaweed, spiced by fish carcasses, to stew on the beach, Commissioner Nora Patterson said she'll need Foote's notes within reach of her phone:. - ' "Thecomplainis start ith us," she said.

Man risks life to save rescue workers OULCEBEAT Emergency training at airport The city of Venice Fire De- apartment will train this week at Venice Municipal Airport. Firefighters will have a mock aircraft emergency drill. People driving past 'the air- port during the week might see an aircraft with its nose gear down and other appear- ances of having been in an accident. This is only the stag- ing for the training and not a real accident. BY GEORGE MCGINN STAFF WRITER A North Port man might have saved the lives of rescue workers by risking his own. A red Mustang riding in the middle ot Interstate 75 was heading for a disaster. Three miles in front of him was an accident that occurred only a half an hour before, and res- cue workers were working the scene. Traffic was stopped. Robert Richmond, 33, of North Port was driving north on 1-75 when he saw the red Mustang driving in both lanes before mile marker 200, north of Venice. "The man driving the Mus- tang was going 55 mph, and was slumped over on the pas- senger side," Richmond said. S't mile marker 200 1. was able to get next to him. I honked my horn and rolled down my window and yelled to get his attention," said Richmond, who worked as a paramedic with New York City's fire department. Richmond called the Florida Highway Patrol, and was told they were heading toward an accident where a truck was overturned'2 miles farther on. FHP told Richmond that traffic was stopped. Richmond said the man, who, looked to be in his 50s or 60s, seemed to be sweating, and his eyes looked "slug- gish." "I figured he was having a medical emergency," Rich- mond said. Unable to get the man's attention, Richmond under- stood they were rapidly ap- proaching the accident scene. Fearing for the safety of the rescue workers at the acci- dent scene, Richmond decid- ed to use his car to push the Mustang off the road. 'As soon as he hit the rum- ble strips, he sat upright and slowed his vehicle to about 10 mph," Richmond said. It was then Florida High- way Patrol trooper Charlie Maculloch started running along side the red Mustang. "I told the driver to stop, and he failed to do so," said Maculloch, who was just informed by dispatch to be on the lookout for the red Mus- tang driving recklessly. 'After asking him again and he failed to stop, I opened the passenger door." Mlaculloch stopped the vehicle, about 50 yards from die accident scene. Richmond said he pulled over and checked on the dri- ver's well-being. "He would have plowed through them (rescue work- ers)." Richmond said. "He was alert, but could not answer questions correct- ly." Richmond said. "He was totally out of it." MNaculloch said die driver was taken to Doctor's Hos- pital in Sarasota. Richmond stopped by die hospital to check on the dri- ver. "He was kind of thankful. but told me I cost him $2,000," Richmond said. Naculloch also went to the *hospital to speak .wit .l .,d4 .._,, .... \er. "He told me that he was ...... heavily medicated because of recent back surgeries," Maculloch said. Maculloch said the inci- dent is under investigation. 9 DINNER and " SHOW "Twilight Time" (Songs from the 1950's) Wednesday, June 28th 3:30 PM $5.

UI ......... OUR VIEW Snowbird migration not hurricane related We seldom respond to letters to the editor. We want those who write us to have their say without comment. But one letter writer has prompted us to think about what we are doing. That reader complained that reporting hurricane information gets the public worked up unnecessarily and has chased snowbirds home early. Yet, a newspaper is a business and just as store owners depend on walk-in customers, we like to retain our snowbird subscribers as long as we can. While we agree there has been a great deal of hurricane coverage in the past year or two, the majority of the "off season" reports have been on TV, not in the newspapers. Further, most often what has been published has been in response to the government's deep and sincere concern that people won't be ready, should another storm hit Florida. There has been much news about Katrina - the Aug. 28, 2005, hurricane that hit New Orleans. There have been stories almost every night on national TV And most of that news is legitimate. There still are questions about building the dikes to keep the gulf out of the city in the future. Reports on families, who have re- turned to try to rebuild their destroyed homes. Reports on the difficulty of obtaining insurance. Thousands of New Orleans residents are still living in Texas and other states. When the city elected a mayor this spring, the candi- dates debated on TV shows that could be seen on Florida's Sun Coast. Beyond that, dedicated Democrats comment almost nightly on how FEMA is still dragging its feet and how President Bush's administration made awful mistakes. We suggest there may be other factors to consider. Spring came early this year up north. Friends along the East Coast reported that the snow was gone and ice was out of the lakes much earlier than usual. With ample rain, lawns were turning into hayfields. This is motivation to leave early. Snowbirds may have been treated with kindness and respect in the past, but because they seldom make rabbit starts at traffic lights, or because they slow down to read the words on street signs, they may experience horn-honking, risky passing, and individuals angrily waving a hand with the middle finger extended at them. So some may feel relieved to get away' from Florida roads and highways. Gasoline prices seem to be higher here than in many other states. Even the rest areas with fast-food restaurants and gas stations in New Jersey were selling regular gasoline for $2.92 a gallon pumped by an attendant. We wonder if Florida fuel prices could be at least a small factor. We are not convinced senior citizens (snowbirds) are as frightened of hurricanes as some people believe. These are people who remember the hunger years of the Great Depression, who were drafted to fight the Germans and Jap- anese in World War II, and the North Koreans a few years later. They have experienced crippling snow and ice storms, even tornadoes. They have experienced sometimes overwhelming and troubling cultural changes, such as the growth of crime caused by those who must feed their insatiable drug habits. While we respect the views of our readers, if snowbirds left early this year, as pleasant as life in this area may be, those in their 60s, 70s and 80s, may still believe there's just no place like home.

LETTERS FROM OUR aking, 'Incidental' taking means dead turtles Editor: Recently developers began clearing a vast amount of vacant land adjacent to my office in South Venice. I decided it would be wise to educate myself on various issues concerning land acquisition by developers and the environmental issues our community faces as a result of their actions. I am appalled with what I uncovered. In fact, a part of me is still not sure if I would have been better off living without the knowledge of what these developers are legally permitted to do. Those of you who are involved in environmental or wildlife activism are likely familiar with the term "incidental take" when referring to acquisitions of land. In essence, these permits sanction the incidental killing or entombment of gopher tortoises by bulldozers or other machinery while in the process of clearing land. Experts esti- mate that due to these permits, over the past 12 years some 70,000 gopher tortoises have perished from starvation, dehy- dration and suffocation from being buried alive in their bur- rows. Due to their slow metabolisms,,it may take them up to three months of agonizing entombment before the tortoise dies. The incidental taking of animal life is cruel and inhumane and should be re-evaluated by our county government. I believe that we have an obligation to protect our animals from cruelty and our environment from callous destruction. If we neglect to do so, we have not only unequivocally failed our- selves but future generations of Americans as well. Nicole Sampieri Englewood Marina idea is win-win deal for city Editor: Mr. Hammett and Mr. Black are right on the money with their effort to develop a marina and a park on airport property. Such development would enhance active life- style in otherwise quiet Ven- ice; increase attractiveness of the town for residents and tourists; bring revenue for the city; and be a base for contin- uing development of the area. If in doubt, look at Marina Jack and the adjacent park in Sarasota, or the waterfront park with the pier, marinas, airport, etc., in St. Petersburg. I and hundreds of other pilots and users of the airport have an issue with Sue Lang of the Venice Neighborhoods Coalition. The airport was here before she moved into the Golden Beach subdivi- sion. She obviously had a choice of homes all over Sara- sota County. We, too, moved into Venice two years ago, and just like hundreds of other residents, we chose Venice because, among other considerations, we wanted to be close to the airport.

Gays and lesbians already have the same rights but bas- ed on how they "do it" they want more rights than I. I cannot marry a man; neither can they. I cannot collect in- surance for an unmarried lov- er; neither can they. I cannot visit a person in the hospital on their deathbed unless I am family; neither can they. How you "do it" is not the basis for civil rights. I think it is supposed to be race, creed, color, national origin, age, handicap and religious beliefs.

The gulf coast has not recovered from Katrina, and a new season is upon us. The Federal Reserve says "core inflation is growing and the economy is slowing down." The stock market is on a roller-coaster ride. Illegal immigration is out of control. Federal spending is out of control. The federal deficit is at $8.4 trillion and growing at the rate of $1.5 billion per day. The out-of-wedlock birth rate is at 33 percent and the di- vorce rate is at 50 percent.

My sister graduated in 56, brother in 59. My wife in 78. Brother-in-law in 65. So many in our family went to Venice High School. We've seen it change in the last 50 years. It's a tradition. You see all our problems with Venice High School band not performing Memorial Day celebration. Just shows our community spirit. We cannot lose VHS; it has to stay on the school grounds. Maybe another good thing is for the citizens to vote on that. I'm sure it would be unanimous. We have to pro- tect our quality of life here in Venice. Our elected officials are stewards of this. You can't put a price tag on certain things and moving VHS would be a mistake. I'm sure people would speak out in a November election. I agree it does need some remod- eling. We have a great infrastructure and we must protect it and improve on it. Couldn't hear. There were approximately 300 people at the Memorial Day service on Monday and the sound sys- tem was totally inadequate. I would suggest that if they can't provide proper sound, maybe they hold the next memorial service inside the community center where we could hear what was going on. The little girl who spoke her poem, she wasn't even instructed to speak up or stand close to the mike, you could barely hear. I would hope that maybe the Gondo- lier Sun would print her poem. Trading favors. I believe the Constitution said the gov- ernment is of the people, by the people and for the people. That is no longer correct. In today's government, the gov- ernment by the people is now for the developers, builders, contractors and the really rich, and the ordinary people are forgotten. The govern- ment people trade their favors to the rich so they can build their war chest to run for elections. They get elected and return favors for the donation they receive while the ordinary people do not have a say in how the govern- ment works. Foolishness. Stop wasting money on foolishness such as the concrete stairs being built at theVenice Avenue Bridge. A while ago it was passing spaces built on the bridge for wheelchair traffic, which can't get on the bridge anyhow due to the curbs and steep grade, and now it is stairs, when the bridge entrance is only a block away. This from an administration that can't find the money to paint the bridge. EDITOR'S NOTE: The stairs are part of connecting the east and west sides of the Venetian Waterway Park. The city and Sarasota County have worked out the painting and maintenance of the bridge. Vote on marina. Maybe in November part of the election should be a vote on how peo- ple feel about the airport marina. Do they want to see it out there, yes or no? Everybody should have an opportunity to speak about it, not just at public hearings. The community is changing so quickly and we need to maybe listen to the commu- nity. Enough pussyfooting. In regards to whether Venice should renew its efforts to annex Caspersen Beach, I say absolutely. There's enough of this pussyfooting around and who's going to do what to whom. Why not just annex the dam thing and get it over with? Who is Florida's clean-water governor? BY LINDA YOUNG GUEST COLUMNIST The Florida governor's race is heading into crunch time. Political ads and headlines will start heating up this sum- mer, just like the water that fuels hurricanes and algae blooms. Many issues are in play in the campaigns. But think about it: What's more important than clean water? Blue waves, clear lakes, springs and rivers are the geese that lay Florida's golden eggs; the reason we're the top tourist destination in the world; and the gift that makes our cash registers ring. With- out clean water, we're noth- ing. We need a governor who will stand up for clean water - not someone who will re- .pay big-bucks corporate campaign contributors by let- ting them use our public waters as a private sewer. This election, we have a chance to elect a "clean wat- er" governor. Who is it? We don't know yet. That's why our grassroots group, Clean Water Network of Florida, is giving Floridians an opportunity to take a sim- ple step to pin down, each candidate's position on water policy. Everyone can partici- pate for the cost of five post- card stamps. Floridians are sending postcards to each of the top four candidates: Jim Davis and Rod Smith of the Demo- cratic party; and Charlie Crist and Tom Gallagher of the Republican party. The cards ask the candi- dates to state, in writing, whether they will do four spe- cific things to clean up our waters: Work diligently to reduce and eliminate mercury and dioxin releases that end up in the fish we eat. Support a moratorium on any permits to add nutrients in polluted waters. Champion a movement to stop destroying the wet- lands that protect us from storm surges. Abandon the flawed Im- paired Waters Rule which the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency ruled illegal - and that the state is using to avoid making polluters clean up. More than 4,000 cards have already been printed for the candidates. Smith, Crist, Gallagher and Davis are sup- posed to send the card back to you; if they don't, you'll know which candidates don't share your concerns. As the candidates receive thousands of cards, they'll see that this is a top issue for all of us. You send Clean Water Net- work a card, too, so we can keep track and inform voters. Clean water isn't a partisan issue. I travel throughout the state, talking to citizens of all kinds who are blindsided by the rapid decline of their local waters: algae blooms, dead fish, manatees, dolphins and sea turtles washing ashore, dead zones on the ocean floor, blighted, reefs, sick lakes, and cloudy springs. These people from airboat clubs to schoolchildren; from League of Women Voters chapters to scuba and fishing clubs are desperate for en- vironmental leadership out of Tallahassee. Stories about gross water pollution will hit the news right about the time people head to the water for summer vacation. Just like last sum- mer, they'll be confronted with slimy algae and closed beaches due to sewage bacte- ria. It happened last year, and it will happen this year. Look around: Polluted Lake Okeechobee water is flowing out of the Caloosa- hatchee and St. Lucie Rivers, choking estuaries on both coasts that were clean and full of fish 15 years ago. The St. John's River, a Florida trea- sure, is already getting algal blooms, which is very early in Please see YOUNG, 12A Lowest Price in Venice SRED MULCH $1.59: S2cu. ft.- 20 BAG LIMIT Reg.

Oldest son Stefano is on the Junior All-Stars. They will begin play at Wellfield next week. Daughter Juliana is on the American 11-12 All-Stars. From what we've learned, she is the first girl to make Venice Little League All-Stars since Mandy Simon did in in the early 2000s.

Three divisions of play will take place at the Chuck Reiter Complex- 9-10, 11-12 and 11. Two will unfold at Wellfield Juniors (13-14) and Seniors (15-16). There are four fields at Chuck Reiter and three at Wellfield. The 9-10 and 11-12s begin play on Friday, June 30. Venice Little League presi- dent Dave Morse said al- most everything is in place at Chuck Reiter. "We have the fence caps," he said. "We'll be putting them on this week and next week. On Field 4, there's trees hanging over the fence. They need to be cut back." The roof on the press box on Field 1 has finally been repaired. Hurricane Katrina ripped it off. Venice Little League had to buy the ma- terials and a city carpenter did the work. "It cost us $550," manager and board member Terry Tritschler said. "The city is supposed to maintain it." Morse said that volunteers for concessions and keeping score are still needed. "They'll be a couple hun- dred games and we have to have an official score keeper for each game," he said There are eight teams in both the 9-10 and 11-12 tour- naments. There are two from Venice American and National. Sarasota has three - Central Sarasota; East Central Sarasota and Sarasota Florida. Newtown will have entries as well as Englewood and North Port. The eight teams will be split into two four-team pools. Each team will play a game against the other three teams in its pool. The top two teams in each pool will advance to a double elim- ination round. There will be eight games Friday night, June 30. Game times will be 5:30 and. 7:30 p.m. Action will continue Saturday morning. :The Junior and Senior tournaments at Wellfield will begin a week later.

Head Start and Early Head That's the message Bruce Start Sukennikoff, a facilitator of Children First Main Campus the Nurturing Dads program, 1723 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota wants 'to get out to parents Contact: Jack Baker any way he can. To register: 953-3877, Ext. 129 "Don't get caught up in all or Ext. 127 the nonsense," Sukennikoff' said. Nurturing Dads is part of a statewide initiative, Children First under the direction of the Florida Department of Children and Families. There are chapters in Sarasota and Charlotte counties. Chuck Hawkins was one of the very first students in the program nearly seven years ago. He said he learned not to put his children in the middle of a divorce. His example, however, could be used by both men and women. Hawkins said that because his .children leave to visit with their mother for the summer, it has become a new family tradition to celebrate Father's Day and his wife's birthday before the children have to travel to another state. "Father's Day for me is not June 18, it's always the first Sun- day in June," he said. "That's (my children's) choice." They call him up on the holiday from their mom's house, and say "Happy Fath- er's Day No. 2, Dad." He also changed his per- ception about programs like Nurturing,Dads. "It's not a wimpy kind of course. It wasn't like that at all," Hawkins said. "It's a very masculine course. When it's all said and done, everybody loves it." of state. He said his children, who! are now 9 and 11, were going to Englewood Elementary School. (Hawkins also has a 23-year-old.). One day they brought home a brochure an- nouncing the first-ever Nur-' turing Dads class in the area, and although Hawkins want- ed to be a better dad, he was hesitant about taking the class. 10 TIPS FOR BEING A GREAT DAD 1. Show up and be there for your children. 2. Support and respect your children's mother. 3. Listen and earn the richt to be heard. 4. Discipline with love. 5. Be a role model and teach by example. 6. Know and be known to the people in your children's world. 7. Play with your children; read to your children. 8. Show affection, let them know you love them. 9. Help out; take an active role (homework, housework, etc.). 10. Keep a sense of humor. But once he got into it, he became interested in the vari- ety of outlooks different peo- Mom and dad ple had about raising chil- Hawkins, who lives in dren.

BY RACHEL ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER It was very racially mixed," he said. "I loved it. It opened up my eyes to get other people's opinions." Hawkins said he liked the class so much, he sat in on a second session at the Love- land Center in Venice. Hawkins also said he was happy to see other dads who wanted to put their children first before anything else. "I'm not the kind of guy that works all day, goes home, sits in front of the TV, drinks beer and then goes to bed," he said. He said he would rather make less money before he would put his job before his family. Hawkins said that al- though it's been nearly seven years since he took Nurturing Dads, and even if he doesn't use the skills he learned every day, he still reverts back to them eventually. Not just dads Both Charlotte and Sara- sota counties participate in the Nurturing Dads initiative. Because of their success, other programs have emerg- ed. Jack Baker is the coordina- tor for Nurturing Dads in Sarasota County, where Mark Perlman began the program and where Hawkins took the first class. Sarasota County's groups, are under Children First through the Head Start and Early Head Start initiatives. Baker said that after some of the dads took the pro- grams, moms were so im- pressed with the results they requested classes for mothers as well. So soon after, "Just for Moms" was added. Other programs on parent- ing and on relationships have been added. ."One of the new additions to ou(prqgram is that we are now offering a free course for couples," Baker said. "It's based on the PREP Preven- tion Relationship Enhance- ment Program, out of the University of Denver. It is one of the most researched rela- tionship enhancement and marriage enrichment curric- ula in the nation that's being used today." "We learned that we need- ed as much support for dads as for couples," he said. "This is not counseling. It's not therapy. It's education and prevention, as the PREP title goes."

These aren't inev- itable events: They are the result of lax regulation in Tallahassee. In the case of the St. John's, citizens watching the slimy algal bloom form are out- raged because an agency of the governor the Depar- tment of Environmental Pro- tection has just announced weaker standards that will allow a million more pounds of nitrogen to go into the river every year. A million pounds! Wh? The DEP is pushing for weak standards for our waters all over the state, and it has until January -when the new governor comes in to further weaken water quality rules. How can the state be weak- ening standards at a time like this? What can we do about it? Help us find our "clean water" governor and then vote for change.

There is a likelihood it will meet opposition from proponents of the county's paperless voting equipment. "Someone could chal- lenge the ballot language at a public hearing," Schneider said, "or it could sail through if nobody speaks up. We don't want to see something incorrect wriggle into the county charter and have it be unenforceable." Conflict? What the alliance wants is a charter amendment that would require voter-verified paper ballots by the year 2008 as the official records of all elections, and inde- pendent random audits of local election results. Dis- crepancies would mandate manual audits of all ballots. Elections Supervisor Kathy Dent is concerned the group's petition language may conflict with the state's election laws when it comes to recounts and certifica- tion,. but she is deferring to Schneider. "I've seen the petition," Schneider said, "but haven't studied the ballot language." Thousands of signatures have been gathered and it appears the group could meet its goal before the end of June., "Voters across the county are signing the petitions as they come to understand the need for a verifiable paper trail," Alliance Chairwoman Kindra Muntz said, "and comprehend the vulnerabili- ties of touch-screen DRE (Direct Renu mEBletbrolMc) voting machines." If the alliance succeeds, and voters agree, Sarasota County might have to trade in its paperless touch-screen machines and buy state- certified equipment that can count voter-verified paper ballots. Currently 52 of 67 counties use them. In 2001, the county spent $4.7 million to buy 1,615 ES&S iVoltronic paperless voting machines. Only 15 counties exclusively use paperless equipment. New ES&S equipment is available with printers that produce a paper trail, but it isn't state- certified yet. The Sarasota Alliance for Fair Elections has establish- ed a Web site (safevote.org). It includes a petition that can be downloaded and signed by registered voters who want the election machine issue addressed by referen- dum on Nov. 7.

Down the roads (Tamiami Trail and Interstate 75) the Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel are being featured together on a new Web site - FortMyersSanibel. com, recently introduced by the Lee County Visitor & Con- vention Bureau. The new site BY KELEIGH KNABEL GONDOLIER SUN INTERN Looking for a new form of exercise, a group made up mostly of Realtors from Richard Bradway and Asso- ciates took up dancing - belly dancing. Thursday at 6:30 p.m. they gather at Starz Choice Dance Academy in Venice. By the second session of the 12-week course, the women were all smiles, joking around and practicing exaggerated belly dancing moves as they walked in the door. Glo Rubin waltzed in with a colorful mesh scarf draped over her face and claimed to be incognito for the night.' However, Pam Cameron, the woman who has taken charge of organizing the group, admitted not everyone was so willing at first. "We had to drag a few people here the first time," she said. They casually exchanged chit-chat while waiting for belly dancing instructor Nir- vana to arrive. "We were looking for something to do for fun and exercise," Cameron said. "We were going to take a pole dancing class," another woman said, "but we decid- ed against it." Cameron laughed and continued, "So we went with the belly dancing." The group steadily grew as class time approached. Out of a class of 15-20 students, only three are not Realtors. Cameron introduced them., "This is Pat Hale, she's an art restorian. Her husband's a dentist at Today's Den- tistry." Hale smiled arid appeared to be one of the people drag- ged into attending. "And this is Trina Cook, a church secretary," Cameron said. Joseph Giglia, a hairdress- er, wasn't bothered at all that he's the only male in the group. His boldness comes from some past experiences. "I did some acting," he said. When their instructor walked in the door, with her dark cornrowed hair, she greeted everyone as they bustled into their mirrored practice room. Inside, there was a frantic scramble for hipscarves, worn to accent the hip movements. When the room was finally dotted by a rainbow of colors fring- ed with beads swaying from class members' hips, the class was ready to begin. History of Bellydancing Nirvana, whose real name is Deirdra Hamlett, talked about the history of the ex- &l" .-- A 2~ N SUN PHOTOS BY KELEIGH KNABEL Joesph Giglia, Maria Santagada and Joan DePalma concentrate on snaking their arms and flicking their hands. otic dance. . "It's ancient, about 5,000 years, and came about or- ginally when woman taught their daughters .about sens- uality,. femininity and giving birth because it prepares the body for childbirth," Nirvana said. Few may know that the sensual outfit worn by fe- male belly dancers has more purpose than to just be eye- catching. Nirvana said that the bare stomach represents giving, as in a pregnant mother contributing to the world through the birth of her child. The almost bra- like top represents the nu- turing a mother gives to her child through breastfeeding. She considers belly danc- ing "the original feminist movement" in history. When the Ottoman empire moved in thousands of years ago, only men were allowed to dress up and dance. These men couldn't perform the dance moves quite like the women, so women were brought into palaces to per- form. "It was the first movement of women into the work- force," Nirvana said. However, the lone male Giglia has his place. Tradi- tional belly dancing is not only for women. When danc- ing in ancient times, men were expected to dance with men and women were ex- pected to dance with wom- , en, as it was seen as disre- ..spectful to do otherwise. A good woman was only t6-ib seen dancing with her hus- band or performing for her husband, close family and female friends. Nirvana's own dance ex- perience stems from a bore- dom with aerobics. She ex- perimented with other types of exercise until discovering belly dancing 17 years ago and fell in love with it. Then she studied all over and de- cided to become an instruc- tor nine years ago. "Believe it or not," she said, "my best students are older women." Class time Nirvana puts on soothing exotic music and the class begins their warm-up stretch. Once completing the warm up, the class places their feet together and stands very erect. "Pretending there is a ball and socket joint right in the middle of your body can really help move your body the correct way," Nirvana .said to them. She then began to demon- strate a small side-to-side hip movement, lasting about five minutes, then proceeded to Joseph Giglia practices standing perfectly erect. the same movement of medi- um size. In another position, Nir- vana showed the class how to slightly bend their knees while keeping good posture. "I always joke that I shrink an inch while I'm dancing and grow an inch when I'm done," she said. While demonstrating a move in which her hips form a circle, she told the class, "It's easier to do if you imagine the middle of your body as a set point and your hips acting as a satellite around that point." Keeping the hips completely even while moving around your center line is the goal of this move. She stopped for a moment to explain how different belly dancing is from other forms of dance. "This soft, gentle dance doesn't have a step every beat. Sometimes just a breath is a beat." She also snaked her hand outward to show that even this simple movement can also be a beat. Also highlighted was the importance of hands during belly dancing. By pointing your two middle fingers down and mimicking a movement much like a kneading cat while pretending your fingers are an unrealistic foot long can help you achieve the cor-: rect hand movement. "I remember to keep my fingers involved by pretend- ing I'm pointing at things," she said. "I'm pointing to. you," she said, while danc- ing, as she pointed to Maria Santagada in the front row, "And now, I'm pointing at my hip," as she shifted her arms downward. The bold class member, Cameron, asked if the reason her upper body is so tense is because she's concentrating too hard on keeping her body in the right place. Nirvana assured her it's a common error as a beginner, and that eventually she'll learn to relax. She then went on to tell them, "All of you will develop bad habits. And I will break every single one of those habits." She related a story of a Please see MANUVERES, 8B Please see COOL, 10B Pam Cameron, front left, steps in unison with the rest of the belly dancing class. "I.- A pr- I if 1i^- * I "^ s.

Seeing how people assim- ilate information, either with ease or difficulty, may leave us craving more information about how the brain works. By availing ourselves of up-to-date research findings, and bylearning more about the workings of the brain, can we do anything differently to increase the mental capacity of our students, for example? And, do we need to be neurosur- geons to figure all this out? The brain is a complex organ. Most of us have some smattering of knowledge about the brain that we've picked up from college psy- chology classes or the media. For instance, we have tried to figure out if we, or others we know, are more "right-brained" or "left- brained." All of this interest in the sides of the brain began with Betty Edwards, an art teacher, in the late 1970s. Her theories led to the belief that artistic, holistic or spiritual people are "right-brained," and logical, practical, un- imaginative people are "left- brained." However, current research shows that our brains can- not be divided up that neat- ly. The fact that they are interconnected complicates things. With improvements in technology allowing for more in-depth study of the brain, we are discovering that other beliefs we once held about the brain are false. We were once told that we could not grow new brain cells; we just lost them. New research shows evidence that stem cells in the human brain can create new neu- rons, which work to improve the quality of existing brain cells. One way we help keep our whole brains healthy is by participating in physical ex- ercise. Another is by having a good diet. By engaging in challeng- ing mental exercises and cre- ating an environment for ourselves that is rich with social contact, we can im- prove our brain function. Having fun and staying chal- lenged promotes brain cell growth and development, even continuing into old age. Physical activity turns on the brain? This makes one think of all those kids sitting in desks virtually restricted from movement. Could the incor- poration of certain minimal exercised done during classes stimulate the brain for learning? It also makes one thing or those "hyperactive" students, the ones who seem unable to sit still. Are they attempt- ing to stimulate their own brains through motion, and could allowing and directing their movements help them focus? Educational kinesiology is the study of physical move- ment as it relates to brain function. Dr. Paul Dennison, an educational therapist, Sign of progress Jack Donkel is a happy hiker. After a long lobbying effort for new signs that would identify the Sarasota and Charlotte sides of Englewood, roadside signs were recently erected. "I'm just overjoyed," Donkel said Wednesday. "They didn't know if they're in Englewood or out of Englewood, because there were no signs." Seven new signs from both Sarasota and Charlotte counties designate the county lines in Englewood. Donkel was instrumental in getting the signs put up on Pine Street, Manasota Key Road, Winchester Boulevard and Oxford Drive. developed a program of exer- cises to enhance learning and cognitive abilities. His pro- gram is called "Brain Gym." The latest brain research supports the idea that exer- cise, both physical and men- tal, leads to positive results.

STAFF REPORT Regular exercise is an important component of any balanced, healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, for many peo- ple chronic lower back pain makes exercise or just about any other type of activ- ity painful and sometimes impossible. Lower back pain affects each of us at some point in our lives and is one of the leading causes for physician visits. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, approximately six million Americans each year see their physician because of lower back pain, and nearly 500,000 require hospitalization. However, as medical pro- fessionals learn more about the causes and effects of chronic back pain, their approaches to treatment are changing. For example, fewer doctors prescribe bed rest. Not only can that course of treatment result in stiff or weakened muscles, but phys- ical inactivity can lead to more serious long-term prob- lems, such as weight gain, heart disease and diabetes. Today's patients have a range of treatment options, with most encouraging at least some type of physical activity. Experts say that moderate exercise, three to five times per week will not only im- prove overall fitness, but will also decrease the likelihood of further back injury. Here are a few tips from the North American Spine Society and The Physician and Sports- medicine Journal to help get you back to a regular exercise regimen: * Use physician-approved stretches to loosen the lower and upper back and related muscles, including ham- strings and quadriceps. * Strengthen muscles that support the back and work to improve the back's flexibility. * Do exercise with proper form to maximize benefits and minimize strain. "We always try to perform treatments that help patients maintain and even increase their level of activity. A person in good physical shape is much less likely than an inac- tive one to injure their back during work or daily activi- ties," says Nagy Mekhail, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Pain Management at the Cleveland Clinic. "Healthy liv- ing means lower-back-pain sufferers see better results. Those who cannot be active take longer to recover." When lower back pain interferes with daily activities and exercise, patients should consult a physician to learn more about their condition and treatment options. For some patients, nonop- erative therapeutic treat- ments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs arid physical therapy, may provide relief. For others, lower back pain can be traced to the slow degeneration of the vertebral discs, a condition know as ?' chronic "disc-related or disco- genic" lower back pain. With age or injury, cracks and fis- sures may develop in the wall of the disc. Small nerve end- ings find their way into the cracks causing chronic pain. Patients with this type of pain may benefit from aggressive procedures such as spinal fusion and disc replacement surgery or minimally invasive approaches, such as the Intradiscal ElectroThermal Therapy (IDET) procedure. Clinical studies indicate that 60 to 80 percent of IDET procedure patients achieve a 50 percent reduction in lower back pain following the pro- cedure. Studies also show patients require less medica- tion after the procedure to manage pain, and are more likely to return to work. To learn more and to find a physician who performs min- imally invasive procedures for treating chronic lower back pain, use the Physician Locator at idetprocedure. com.

"They looked like two dead fish," Nirvana said as she imitated her. "So I took a picture of her while she was dancing and showed it to her. She never did it again." To put their minds at ease, she told her class that she started with a bad habit of concentrating too hard and contorting her mouth while she danced. "I always had to perform like this," she said, and mov- ed her hand down and gracefully danced with it over her face. Moving one's arms as fluidly as Nirvana can take some practice, yet she always eases the class into new movements by relating hard- er movements to simple, everyday examples. The wave- like movement of her arms can be learned by simply going into the water at the beach and spreading your arms perpendicular to the shoreline just at water level. The waves will move your arms just like when you were a kid, only this time, you'll be practicing your belly dancing moves. With each added step the class copied her every move and Nirvana praised them. "You guys are doing great." This is a workout? Although the group may be all smiles and jokes during their unique class, they are actually getting a workout. Belly dancing can be consid- ered part of a fitness schedule and has many physical and mental benefits. The main benefit of this exotic form of dance is that it uses muscle groups all over the body, including the ab- domen, pelvis, trunk, spine, neck, arms, shoulders and even hands. It especially helps form muscles of the female body, but is becoming extremely popular with men; in fact, men are more inter- ested in belly dancing right now than women. Belly dancing can help "a sof -CM %M %M- 9 * be. maintain and increase flexi- bility in the lower back and hips by toning the muscles and ligaments attached to vertebrae. It also can increase the flow of synovial fluid to keep joints well lubricated through gentle repetitive motion in the lower back and hip area. The angle at which the pelvis is tipped during the belly dancing exercises can help prevent lower back problems, a common pain in today's society. It can also relieve back stress and counteract the compression the vertebrae suffer from constant sitting at some day jobs. The increased flexi- bility of hip joints can lead to improved balance while walking. Posture can be im- proved through strengthen- ing of back muscles. Arms and shoulders get toned through the constant snake-like movements and increased strength is gained from simple constant arm elevation. The intricate hand movements help develop strength and independence of the fingers. Since belly dancing is done on foot, it is considered a weightbearing exercise and can prevent osteoporosis and actually strengthen bones. However, belly dancing is also considered low impact and carries a minimal risk of injury. A lot of people who become interested in belly dancing get involved to get rid of their "paunch," espe- cially men. The dance tones abdominal muscles and can help, reduce belly fat if included with a healthy diet. An intense belly dancing session can be considered aerobic and can burn 330 calories. A reduction of cel- lulite can also occur. Post natal abdominal mus- cle can also be toned through belly dancing. When, preg- nant, belly dancing strength- ens muscles used during childbirth. Stress reduction is a bene- fit of belly dancing. You achieve this by increasing blood flow to vulnerable muscle groups by stretching, in turn flushing out lactic acid. It also improves cir- culation and makes way for better oxygenation through the blood through deeper breathing. The trunk movements can also aid in digestion by improving muscles used in the digestive system. $ On a mental level, belly dancing can lead to improved self image and boost self esteem, helping dancers be more satisfied with their bodies. The women, and Giglia, seem to have found their fun way to exercise. If you're interested in joining them, contact Nirvana at dansenir- vana@juno.com.
