OF FLORIDA~ GAINSUILLE FL 32611 Treated wastewater to be stored underground Sarasota County will drill three wells that could store up to 200 million gallons of treated wastewater. Environmental groups insist there are few standards for storage and recovery wells. BY JACK GURNEY PELICAN PRESS A controversial Sarasota County program to store treated sewage wastewater in underground wells during rainy months and pump it back up to the surface for ir rigation in dry months has been cleared to resume after a 2 1/2 year legal challenge. On Tuesday, the county commission voted 3-1 to appropriate $3.2 million for a project that will cost at least twice that much. The balance will be paid by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, which initially agreed to the practice in 2000. "I do not approve using our aquifers for the storage of treated wastewater," said Commissioner Jon' Thaxton, who cast the lone dissenting vote. "A lot of parameters for measuring water quality are being skirted. We will be dumping this near a source of drinking water." Commissioner Paul Merc- ier asked Thaxton to indicate "in 100 words or less" where he would dis- pose of the wastewater if the county doesn't go for- ward with the deep well project. Thax- Thaxto ton replied there are a number of alternatives, but ,he did not indicate a prefer- ence. 'No good standards' Three deep wells and nine environmental monitoring wells will be installed at a county utility complex lo- cated near McIntosh Road and the Palmer Ranch sub- division. They will provide between 100 million and 200 million gallons of under- ground storage capacity. The technology of aquifer storage and recovery is pop- ular with public utility ope-' rators because it costs far less to develop than above- ground facilities such as surface reservoirs and results in lower bills for wa- ter and sewer customers. Most ASR sites store treat- ed drinking water, which requires disinfecting after it is drawn back up from un- derground reserves. Some of the county's water supply comes from underground storage wells at the Peace River Authority plant near North Port. In recent years, Florida communities have expand- ed on the deep-well technology to include either the disposal or Mercier storage of treated sewage wastewater. Some use it during dry months to irrigate golf cours- es, public parks and areas that would otherwise receive potable water. "Our primary concern is that ASR wells are not a tight- ly regulated activity," said Glenn Compton, a Venice High School science instruc- tor and director of the en- vironmental organization ManaSota-88. "There are no good federal and state stan-. dards for them." County utility officials tentatively plan to inject about a million gallons of treated sewage wastewater into each of the wells on days it isn't used for irrigation.

SMITH STAFF WRITER It sounded more like dia- logue out of "West Side Story" than the bureaucratic verbiage of city and county officials. But before everyone could .e .,tilmed ..down Friday at the Sarasota County Growth Management Convocation in Venice, there was talk of a major battle that might erupt between Sarasota County' commissioners and the cities within the county's bound- aries. "It's a turf war," said Bill Wilson, a Venice City Council member. "That's how it comes across to me." Wilson was joined by Venice Mayor Fred Ham- Smet, who said, "I find it disingenuous that off the wall you're taking rights that Venice has had ... without discussion. 1 think it's wrong." It all started earlier in the week in the form of a petition brought before the county commission by local citizens concerned with what they think is exponential growth and overdevelopment in the county. They collected signa- tures for a county charter amendment, which reads in part: "The Board of County Commissioners must ap- prove all changes to the fture land-use designations of all lands not within such Urban Service Area regard- less of whether some or all of the lands are located within a municipality." Upset Though no specific ordi- 'nance was drafted at that time, the' commissioners called for a public hearing on the issue. That's what infuriated city officials in Venice and North Port, who believed the county was overstepping its author- ity.

"I was always fascinated the design of the old build- ings." she said. "I wanted to know not only about the structure and floor plans, but also about the people living there and the history behind everything. "As I began to learn the history of my own family, my imagination was stimulated about the other families in my area." Her grandfather had emi- grated from Austria in the 1890s. Hard work in a paper -millnear Port Huron enabl- ed him to buy a tract of land outside of town that he even- tually divided equally among his six children. "My mother was his only daughter," she said, "and tra- edition dictated that she would inherit the homestead - my grandfather's house - so my family actually lived there while I was growing up. "All my aunts and uncles and cousins lived right there," she said, "and that made for a very busy and happy childhood for me. My father worked for a brass company and, though we weren't rich by any means, he made it clear that it was not necessary for my mother to work outside the home. "She worked very hard at home, however," she said. "gardening and canning and taking care of my sister and me. When my grandfather got older, we just continued to provide the care he need- ed there in our home. All of that was' very educational for me."

New travel restrictions are more than lip service BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFFWRITER Ifyou're taking flight in the near future, little extrawaiting time because of new airport restrictions and regulations may not be your only hassle. Besides' the obvious ques- tions about not carrying liquids or gel on a flight from Fort Myers last week, security asked that mascara and lipstick gloss (contained in a tube) be removed from carry-on lug- gage. You are permitted to bring solid lipstick and any powered makeup, but tooth- paste and mouthwash are not allowed to be carried onto the plane. It is suggested that you wear socks, because all shoes regardless of type will have to go through the scanner. Medications are verified by security and names are com- pared to prescription labels. and identification docu- ments. Infants being carried by a passenger will require a spe- cial notification documented on boarding pass. Baby food and strollers require a special check by security before' boarding. Formula is permit- ted. Carry-on bags, cell phones or laptop computers are'per- mitted, but carry-on bags were spot-checked.

Sarasota County Beautiful to get South County residents more in- volved in KSCB projects. "We had a very productive meeting this morning," said Cindy Gnegy, one of the orga- nizers. She moderated the discussion with, the assis- tance of KSCB Manager SandraWashington. One activity sponsored by KSCB on a year-rodnd basis is the Adopt-A-Road Program. "These programs have been very successful around the nation," said Don Jacobovitz, public services general manag- erforthecityofVenice, "but par- ticularly in many areas of SFlorida. I'd-reallylike to genemrte more interest here in getting community groups to take res-: ponsibility for cleaning up des- ignated sections of odr area roads." A list provided by Wash- Sington indicated that approx- itately.50 sections of joad idernifie-d-by KSCB haven't yet been adopted for cleanup. S "Many ofthese areas are in South Sarasota County," Ja- cobovitz said, "so I'd like to see a variety of.groups here step up to the challenge." SAnother subject was the problem of litter along the banks of the Intracoastal S.

S"Is there',any way we can add the banks of the intra- coastal to the cleanup project list?" Westfall asked "It is real- ly a mess in some places ...." Although some in atten- dance stated their willingness to help pick up the litter, oth- ers pointed out that the steepness and rocks along the banks would be too danger- ous for many people. "We are open to any ideas about how to resolve :this issue," said Washington. "But I don't think we can include it in our general events for vol- unteers because of the liabili- ty for any injuries which might occur." Westfall said he. would contact the West Coast Inland Navigation District to see if it' would be able to get involved in the cleanup. Florida Coastal Cleanup David Evans, a member of the KSCB advisory board, is chairman of the upcoming Florida .Coastal Cleanup Project, scheduled for Sat- urday; Sept. 16, from 8 a.m. to noon. He presented a list of More than 40 sites in Sarasota County identified for cleanup - parks, beaches, bridges, piers, causeways and even a couple of small cemeteries. "This is the local part of the 20th annual International Coastal Cleanup," said Wash- ington, "which is the world's largest one-day volunteer effort that supports the marine environment. "Last year," she added, "more than 1,800 volunteers from Sarasota County partici- pated in the cleanup. They collected 111,000 pounds of marine debris. They also found :and freed animals which had become entan- gled, proving the dangers pre- sented by such debris in the coastal environment." UPCOMING ACTIVITIES The Florida Coastal Cleanup Project is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 16, from 8 a.m. to noon at more than 40 sites in Sarasota County. Call 861-5000 and ask for Keep Sarasota County Beautiful to volunteer. The next meeting of the KSCB Venice Chapter will be Friday, Sept. 22, at 10 a.m., in the Venice Area Beautification Inc. conference room in the old chamber of commerce building west of the Hatchett Creek Bridge.

HOFFMAN NORTH PORT ASSISTANT EDITOR Sarasota County commis- sioners held a convocation Friday with school board members and municipal offi- cials to approve an interlocal agreement on school plan- ning. The effort stems from a state law, Senate Bill 360, requiring governments to fol- low certain criteria when planning for growth.-The agreement was reached after several months of negotia- tions. The new agreement sets standards for the parties to determine when new schools will be needed. Ken Marsh, director of long-range planning for the school board, said a complex series of formulas and stan- dards will help everyone to understand when schools are approaching capacity. "Unfortunately, school concurrency doesn't have an 'easy button,' "he said. Determining when a school will reach or 'exceed capacity depends on several factors, including such data as actual classroom capacity; whether any classrooms have been converted for other uses, such as art or music; and, in some cases; how many relocatable (portable) units are on campus, accord- ing to Marsh. This information will guide municipalities, the county and the school board, as well as developers. When a residential devel-, opment is proposed, calcula- tions are done to estimate the number of additional ele- mentary, middle and high school students expected. Nearby schools will be evalu- ated to determine whether they have the capacity for the additional students. The planning process also affects when and where new schools will be built. The new law requires that public schools must be available as a prerequisite to approving new residential development. Gaps The participants discussed some of the details of the interlocal agreement. North Port Commission Vice Chair Barbara Gross raised con- Open for cerns about sidewalks. "We've had a challenging situation at our new school in North Port (Lamarque) in that we don't have adequate side- walks to the school," she said. Some participants sug- gested that was the responsi- bility of the developers. , "But what happens when there's no developer?" Gross ask6d. "This school was in the platted-lot area. We can't just tell people they can't build on their individual lots." County Commissioner John Thaxton said these school concurrency policies may not apply in all cases, where there is no overall developer. School concurren- cy is addressed at the time of fiali subdivision, but it does, not apply to platted lots. Some participants sug-, gested that school concurren- cy should be addressed earli- er in the process. Some city officials said it should come much earlier, such as during zoning discussions. It also helps developers to deal with it sooner rather than later. You can e-mail Susanl Hoffman at shoffman@sun- herald.com. business New roadplanning system gets cool reception BY STEVEN J. SMITH STAFF WRITER It didn't take long for the deep freeze to set in. Mike McDaniel of. the Florida Department of Community Affairs was joined by Rob Magee from: the Florida Department of: Transportaton for a Growth Management Convocation Friday at the Venice Com- munity Center. Their friendly attempt to guide their coun- tv and city counterparts through the machinations of infrastructure planning. funding and implementation got a distinctly cold shoulder. Front and center was the issue of who is supposed to pay for much-needed roads, sidewalks, bridges and more around the county. Mc- Daniel's presentation on a new state law that addresses how to proceed with plan- ning and implementation of : infrastructure improvements was interrupted almost im- mediately by Sarasota County - Conmmissioner Jim Ley. "Zero times anything is still zero," quipped Ley, obviously frustrated by the fact that the bill offered little money to local coffers. Ley was joined by equally annoyed Sarasota County Commissioner Jon Thaxton. "With a mandate to fund infrastructure ind a mandate to allow growth with no financing -vehicle around, there's only one place local governments can turn for those monies, and that's to our ad valoren tax revenue sources," he said. "I find (this) very troubling. . Bad law Magee stepped in to stem the bleeding. "I understand the sense of frustration here." Magee said: He then quickly went into the particulars of the bill, saying it was the "most significant leg- islation since 1985." Magee argued that devel- opers who fail to pay their fair share of the funding for infra- structure around their pro- jects must pick up their "pro- .portional share." If they don't, he added, they ought not receive approval for their pro-* Sjects in the first place,. Sarasota County Com- missioner Nora Patterson chipped in that a developer is only initially responsible for 5 percent of the cost of infra- structure payments, which encourages development and discourages the improve- ments that support it. Thaxton agreed, and ad- ded that such a small amount allotted to building streets and sidewalks added up to one thing. "Without any trarisporta- tioin improvements.(due to) such a small amount of mon- ey for them, you. are now jeopardizing public safety," he said. After the presentation, 'Sarasota County.. Commis- sioner Shannon Staub had a few thoughts of her own. , "The presentation today was done by people who work for state government, It's the legislation that's been enacted that's the problem. When'you hear that the major portion of it was put in at 10 o'clock at night on the last night of the LegislatRre; something's wrong." Staub said it was up to the state Legislature to "get their act together." She said it was not right to put the onus on the backs of the taxpayers and didn't believe the idea would fly without: ;.major, major increases." : The new Legislature be; gins its session in March, she. added.:- *... pisrifl fijod(S' "We'll see what they do,"' Staub said.

BYTOMMYMCINTYRE STAFF WRITER Dottie Schneider of Venice learned the hard way. A serviceman from a rep- utable air conditioning com- pany came out to do a routine check on her A/C, and when he was done he stole her jew- elry. Schneider, who gave per- mission to use her name, said the serviceman told her he had a receipt for her to sign down in his truck. "I'm on the fourth floor, so I went down with him, signed the paper then I went into the laundry room on the first floor," she said. "He went back upstairs into my bedroom and stole two diamond rings (value $10,000). She's not alone Unwittingly, Schneider - along with scores of other vic- tims every year violated a couple of the unwritten rules about having a repairman come into your home. "Watch them closely, lock your doors, put valuables away the trunk of your car ually is a good place," Venice Police Sgt. Tom McNulty said. "It's a crime of opportunity." Schneider said it won't happen to her again. "I'll be watching them closely," she said, "and I'm going to be locking the door even when I go out to get my mail." Insult to injury Schneider said that thanks toVenice police and Detective Eric Hill, she was able to get one of her diamond rings back from a local pawn shop. "But,then I called the air conditioning company (Su- perior Heating and Cool- ing) because I thought they should reimburse me for the theft and then go after the serviceman," Schneider said. "They said they don't have any obligation to do that, but they did reimburse me the $150 I had to give the pawn shop to get my ring.' McNulty said 99 percent of the companies that do busi- ness in Venice are reputable. McNulty included Superior in the reputable category. "Unfortunately," McNulty said, "sometimes even a rep- utable company will un- knowingly hire someone who is not reputable." Superior officials and com- pany attorney .B.V Dann- heisser III could not be reached for comment. Michael T. Meyer, 27, 100 block Englewood Garden Court, Englewood, was ar- rested in the Schneider case and charged with burglary of a dwelling, dealing in stolen property and defrauding a pawnbroker, all felonies. On Aug. 16, Meyer entered a plea. He was put on proba- tion and ordered to pay resti- tution. Meyer was also charged in another case similar to Schneider's. "I thought he should have gone to jail," Schneider said. You can e-mail Tommy McIntyre at: tmcintyre- @venicegondoliercom.

WASTEWATER from Page lA PETITION from Page 1A "There are no good stan- dards for the viral patho- gens that will be in the re-* claimed wastewater," Comp- toi said. 'Dumber than dirt' When the county initially attempted to install the wells in 2000, the price tag was $3 million. It has more than doubled since then, .but concerns that prompted the Legal Environmental Assist- ance Foundation to unsuc- cessfully challenge the pro-' ject haven't .. "We are running out of drinking water supplies in Florida," said LEAF Vice Pres- ident Cynthia Valencic. "In- jecting wastewater treated to reuse level into a potential undergrounA source of future drinking water is something the county might want to reconsider." The operating theory be- hind ASR wells is that water pumped into underground areas will stay in a bubble until it is retrieved. But critics insist it will move through faults, fissures and fractures to mix with uncontaminated water that could be tapped for public supply. 'A quote that I heard about this technology years, ago still holds true," Valencic said. "It's dumber than dirt. The federal government has issued spe- cial rules for Florida that we are still fighting. Wastewater will move with aquifer water if it is injected into the ground," Thee 'has neveF'been a widespread local consensus that injecting treated sewage wastewater into deep wells is safe. A majority of the Venice City Council opposed it sev- eral years ago, and the city won concessions from the county in order to drop a for- mal legal challenge. The county commission narrowly voted 3-2 to pursue permits in 2001. we were being sued over annexations," said Barbara Gross, North Port city com- missioner. She added that the coun- ty commissioners were- be- ing manipulated by the peti- tioners, who "haven't gotten enough signatures" for a request that could under- mine the authority of city officials. "It eliminates our right to zone," she said. "I'm just so upset you'd let yourselves be used in this manner." County Commissioners noted that no language had been drafted. And County Commission- er Shannon Staub defended the stance of her associates. "The county commission certainly is rot going to blow off four citizens who repre- sent a great number of citi- zens," she said. Commissioner Jon Thax- ton added that the county had no say whatsoever in annexation that municipal annexation is happening so fast there is little space left in the county. "We don't want the county to become a city," he said, adding that if cities continu- ally take land, it disturbs citizens, as well as his fellow commissioners. He men- tioned many e-mails he has received from constituents thanking ,the county "for. standing up.for us." Details unknown In an effort to quell the. dissension, Staub reaffirmed that the coun i-'had'jtaken, no action to subvert the powers of city officials. "The motion was made and supported to refer the issue to the county attorney and county administrator to bring back a report that would include draft language for the ordinance," she said. On Aug. 31, the board will have a meeting at which they will more fully explore the language of the petition, because, she said, "I don't are rural, as this petition sug- think any of us really knows gests, whose jurisdiction the details to be able to handles this better?" she answer questions as to what asked.

The code of judicial ethics prevents candidates from doing the thing that would be most valuable in choosing among them - talking about legal issues. We understand their need to remain uncommitted and objective about issues, matters and people that might come be- fore them if they win. But it surely makes you ponder the wisdom of having lay peo- ple elect judges. It helps this year that some of the candi- dates in the three races have judicial ex- perience. We wouldn't recommend some- one on that basis alone, but at least it gives us a little more to work with in evaluating qualifications. In the Group 13 race incumbent Lee. Haworth is opposed by Susan Hartmann Swartz. Haworth has been a judge here for 17 years and is extremely well regarded, both for his actions on the bench and for the contributions he has made to the legal community outside the courtroom. He is consistently among the highest-rated judges in- all the categories evaluated in, the (anonymous) Sarasota County Bar Associ- ation annual poll. In her interview Swartz gave us no rea- son to think she could do a better job than Haworth and several to be concerned about putting her on the bench. Swartz was fired from a position as a 12th Judicial Circuit child support hearing officer :earlier this year by Chief Judge Robert Bennett: The reasons for that appear to us to have been well documented. As a hearing officer she worked with Haworth and he: was present when she was,let go. We don't know if that's why she targeted him to run against instead of an- other incumbent or seeking one of the three open seats, but she said she wouldn't run against another woman, suggesting she places a higher priority on gender than on competency. She just doesn't have nearly the breadth or depth of experience Haworth does. And though she said she wouldn't have any problem fitting in with the other judges in spite of her history, if she wins, we're skep- tical. seat in Group 21.

It started out that they were going to add a cent and use 75 percent of that on increased advertising, which is a main purpose of the tax to help grow business for hotels, restaurants, retail and Resorts that benefit from the' tax. Unfortunately, the money didn't work out quite right. The cost of the project was more than expected, the Reds wouldn't chip in more than $10 million and the money given by the Legislature was not quite enough to make it work. While the city of Sarasota has anted up some more' since it will benefit the most from this, the total was not enough. So the most recent pro- posal to make the numbers work has been to contribute half a cent of the additional tax to the stadium. I am a big baseball fan. The fact that I am a Cardinals fan and the Cincinnati Reds are breathing down our necks in the standings is not at play here. But I have many con- cerns about this plan. First off, in the sour grapes area is that when South County sought tourist tax money for a baseball stadium for a team that was interested in coming here, it was a no-go from the commission and the convention and visitors bureau. In fact, the conven- tion bureau had stats that showed it would have almost no impact on the area. So why are they so inter- ested now? There could be many reasons. Ed Smith Stadium is a little old but, more important, not fancy enough for the Reds and their high-priced ball- players. I would hope the reason isn't that the power brokers from North County who would benefit the most in- fluenced the city administra- tion and later the county commission members, who were left out initially. This proposal will bring almost no benefit in its present form to South County. Next, I have come to, feel Sniucbh more I.strongl.y o-vez the -years that 'taxpayers shouldn't be paying for stadi- ums for rich owners and ballplayers. We should help them with tax incentives or land development opportu- nities, maybe, but not be funding those items when othbr things that address more critical issues or benefit a much wider base are out there. Not as important but still an issue is the fact that the stadium is not used year- round. It is hoped that with other baseball events and minor league games it will get pretty good use. There is a way to make sure South County business- es get something from this. A major part of the new money that would be set aside for promotion should be funneled to the North: Port, Englewood and Venice chambers, of commerce to promote their areas. The convention bureau is given that responsibility for the entire county and does a better job than it used to, but in reality it still puts most of its emphasis on Sarasota. Besides doing ads in na- tional publications, it is given hundreds of thousands of dollars to do the same things our chamber does. Our chamber should be afforded a promotional funding source also that would help our hotels, restaurants and retail businesses. The county commission is going to have a public hear- ing to get peoples' feelings on the subject. I hope that. South County makes its voice heard that we would expect to get extensive bene- fit from this additional tax or we are against it. I think if the commission- ers really want to listen to the voters, they will have the issue decided by putting it on the ballot. By's Crack Ted Kennedy may run for president, but he hasn't thrown his pants into the ring yet. Please see VEDDER, 9A LETTERS FROM OUR READERS North County continues to dominate Editor: - The recent statements that have come out of the commis- sion meeting arid Jim Ley have finally gotten to me. Constitutionally there is very little.you can do to curb de- velopment of county land as you have been doing. You can refuse to give service to South County namely North Port and Venice but in a few years this part will be bigger than Sarasota and North County and a lot of changes will be made. Your lack of vision has cost us thd taxpayers dearly. We must spend 20 to 30 times more for just the rights of way for roads. We do not have roads to move on in case of an accident or emergency, Let us look at the rampant expansion' in Venice- coun- ty part. Wall-to-wall developments on Center Road, River Road, East Laurel and Laurel. Did any of the developers help build the roads? No, but they did in Venice and part of North Port very recently. : I suggest that the ivory tower the county administra- tion and headquarters be moved out of the city of Sara- sota to either mid-county around Clark or south of that location closer to the people and away from the politics of the city of Sarasota. Too much is spent in the city of Sarasota and not enough in the county. The needs of the people are not met. Costa D. Xistris Venice There's more moneyto be saved Editor: EJ. Piccolo, president and chief executive officer of the Sarasota-Bradenton Interna- tional Airport, has proposed, and the airport authority has accepted, an offer to have Rural/Metro Corp. provide fire protection. This will, so Mi. Piccolo claims, save $350,000. If Mr. Piccolo is so interested in saving money, perhaps he should look into a private management company for the airport. This would also save.money. Then EJ. Piccolo could join the 15 fireman on', the unemployment line. I would bet these highly trained fireman would find a job faster than a manager with a questionable record.

We close the barn door after all the animals are .long gone. .We probably now have enough hair gel collected to mix with our dirt dams that protect New Orleans to actu- ally make the dikes safe. Are we safe now? I will ;bet -that the last thing that our Homeland Security wants is-a test run by an in- dependent group. Iran pours unlimited 'wealth and technology into funding this world-wide war. Iran uses the minds and bodies of youthful religious zealots to terrorize the world. Iran does not expose itself to any danger. Iran is attacking America and its allies and not expos- ing itself to any harm, using' Syria and suicide bombers. It is doing this while devel- oping nuclear bombs. So what else is new, you say. We do not need an intelli- gence agency to tell us Iran's intent. - Iran broadcasts its desire to annihilate America and all of its allies practically every day. Well, that's the picture. Let's get out of Iraq and solve our real problem- Iran before it's too late. We are running out of money and men. God help us; our present leadership is not. Our own generals keep telling us and warning us that we are in danger by continu- ing'our present path. Close the barn door while we still can before it's too late. Walter Herrmann North Port Jews are the victims of myths Editor: I've been wondering when someone was going to write a letter of lamentation de- voted to the suffering of the poor Palestinians. A letter finally did appear and it was fairly predictable in its use of myths and out- right lies, starting with .the one about Jewish refugees driving out the.poor'Pales- tinians. As I remember the story, that particular land was'given to the Jews thousands of years ago by an extremely high authority. Many years later the Diaspora happened and the most of the descendants of those original owners were forcibly scattered all over the then-known world. Please see LETTERS, 9A . - SUNLUMT, MUU.

This is about American .Legion Post 159 and the gentleman who did not want to come due to the smoking. I, too, agree with the gentleman who did not want the smoking. If the American Legion, as they' stated, doesn't want people who are old and opposed to smoking, I guess that means they don't want any of us older veterans who have been through hell and back. We're old, and they say they don't" want old, and they're opposed to people not wanting to smoke there. Well, cancer. kills. Cigarettes have cancer- causing agents in them. I guess they want to kill as many of the old soldiers that served their country as they can. Down with the'American Legion. Never thought I'd say it, but down with the Amer- ican Legion. Not up to date. Recently one of your readers wrote about the American Legion Post 159 not needing people that are old and opposed to smoking. In the same issue of the Gondolier Sun the Amer- ican Legion Post honored members with 50 or 60 years of service. Apparently, the first reader is not up to date as to what is important at the American Legion. Not fair. I just read Let'em Have It about the American Legion, that we don't want old people. My God, I'm under 50 and I'm appalled that somebody would say some- thing like that. If the man joined, he has the right to go. I can understand about the smoke since I just lost a couple of people in my family to can- cer and they didn't smoke it was second-hand smoke. This is ridiculous. I was against it at first when they banned smok- ing; but I can't believe the dif- ference when you can actually go into buildings and not be able to breathe. If they can't have a separate room or good ventilation system, then the whole place should be closed. But anyone who talks like that we don't want you because you're old they de- Sserve to be drummed out of the American Legion. That's certainly not what they're sup- posed to believe in. Over exposed.

I' appreciate that Joseph Laskowsky e-mailed that I misidentified the body of water that the Peterhof Pal- ace was on in Russia. It is on the Sea of Finland, not the Black Sea. I forgot to mention we were :there during the G-8 conference, which was held at another palace not far, from Peterhof; so that we were unable to take a bus to get there and instead had to go by boat. There was so much security all over town that it was difficult to move. As it turned out, the Russian memorial for the war'dead was across from our hotel, so every dignitary had to put a wreath there and shut the highways down. Lynn, the Workout Nazi at the YMCA, runs a class called Free Motion that is a body- firming and muscle-building class. Last week she did some leg exercises that made me so sore I walkedlike a duck.

Someone sent me an e- mail about the ACLU, which, always is, filing lawsuits ,against people who want prayer in schools or some Other Christian thing in cour- thouses, as well as wanting to remove Christmas from any- thing to do with government. The e-mail suggested that every human ought to send the ACLU a Christmas card this year to lighten its spirits, a little. That would be pretty funny. . **** .

BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR Any football coach would have to be intrigued on how his team would stack up against one of the top teams in the nation. Venice High's Nick Coleman was fortunate to get that opportunity Friday night, as perennial power Lakeland opened the 2006 season at Powell-Davis Stadium. There were some bright spots for Indian fans to cheer about, but the dreaded Dreadnaughts hogged the highlight reel, cruising to a 42-7 victory. The big difference in the game was senior. running back Chris Rainey, who rushed for 272 yards and scored four touchdowns to power Lakeland, the No. 1: ranked team in Class 5A and the No. 2 squad in the nation in the Sports Illustrated pre- season rankings. Rainey, who has commit- ted to the University of Florida, used his speed, jukes and cut-back moves to freeze defenders all night long. . He was reminiscent of a graceful gazelle fleeing hun- gry lions. "He's the real deal," Venice coach Nick Coleman said. "He's strong and athletic. You gotta wrap him up and pray for help." Backfield sidekick lamal Tayloir, i'ho opts to drag peo- ple for tough yardage, ended up with 100 yards and scored the Dreadnaughts' second touchdown of the night early in the second quarter. "They expose your weak- nesses in tackling," Coleman said of the Rainey-Taylor 1-2 punch. "I've never seen a team too good at tackling." Venice took the opening kickoff but went backward when quarterback Kyle Cal- lahan was sacked on a third down play. A three-yard punt put Lakeland in business for its first TD at the 19-yard line. Rainey scored on a five- yard run to make it 6-0. The Venice offense showed signs of life on its second pos- session, picking up three first downs and marching to the Lakeland 35 before running out of gas. The Venice defense seem- ingly had Lakeland penned in with a third-and-seven call from the 6. Rainey took off on a 33-yard run to get the Dreadnaughts out of the:hole. Five plays later, Taylor scored from 10 yards out, and it was 13-0. ' Rainey danced in on a 24- yard TD run later on in the second quarter to make it 20- 0. The run-oriented Lake- lafid offense, led by 6-foot, 4- inch. twin monster tackles Lashawn and James Pouncey, was flat out getting the job done, , Venice showed some life, as senior running back Al Venice High's Jimmy Laurie coi Mitchell raced 65 yards to the during Friday night's season oi Dreadnaught 7-yard line on a first-down play.

Charlotte BOOKER SARASOTA Mitchell looks forward to big senior year Venice keeps upper hand over Chiles in rematch BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR Two years ago, Venice High football fielded a promising sophomore linebacker named Al Mitchell. The progression came to a halt when he decided not to play his junior year. Mitchell cited differences with coach- es that are now all patched up. Mitchell is back out on the gridiron for his senior season, and the Indian coaches, play- ers and fans are very glad to say the least. Mitchell is a co-captain and someone the younger players are looking up to. "He missed playing," Venice head coach Nick Coleman said. "He's com- pletely focused. He's a tough runner, plays tough defense and he is a great leader." Mitchell is also playing weak side linebacker for the Indians this season. The Indian coaching staff got an idea that Mitchell would be a strong runner last May in the spring game at Southeast. Mitchell rushed for 158 yards and three touch- downs against the Seminoles. Al Mitchell Mitchell showed that was no fluke Friday night against one of the best teams in the USA. He gained 117 yards on 14 carries .against the Lakeland Dreadnaughts. "Al's legs are huge," Coleman said of Mitchell's churning power. "He can clean 285." Lakeland spoiled the Indians' season opener, 42-7. "We expected them to be tough," Mitchell said. "We knew it coming in. We have to get our tackling better. We were missing assignments," Mitchell, who stands 5-11 1/2 and weighs 195 pounds, has football is his blood. His uncle Alvin is a Venice High graduate who went on to play at Auburn and in the pros for the Buccaneers.. His cousin Fredette was a standout girls basketball player atVHS a few years back.' Mitchell believes the Indians will learn from the loss to Lakeland and improve as the season goes on. "It's going down at Venice," he said. "We're taking it to Riverview at the Ram Bowl."

The end result was the same another Lady Indian victory.' First of all, Friday night is a clue the Lady Indians only play on Friday nights if they're- out of town in a tournament. This past Friday night, Venice played at home the front end of a volleyball/foot- ball doubleheader against the same team it defeated in last year's Class 5A champi- onship match in Lakeland - Lawton Chiles High. The Lady Indians cruised in the first game, 25-9, but Chiles got its act together to make games two and three very entertaining. Venice eked out 25-21 and 25-22 vic- tories. Venice improved its record to 4-0. Chiles fell to 2-1. Chiles left Tallahassee at 6 a.m. Friday and arrived in Venice in the afternoon. The team checked in a local hotel and the checked out the Teepee.

"They're were a lot of new people out there watching us who showed up early for the football game," Wheatley said. "I think they liked what they saw. I hope they'll be back." Venice played nearly per fect volleyball in game one. Outside hitter Natalie Gaudreau was on, which spelled bad news for the Lady Wolves. Middle hitter Casie Richards also had some floor burners.

Back liners Julie Howlett and Danielle Witte helped the transition game move along at a crisp pace. "We're focusing on speed- ing up the offense this year," Wheatley said. "Speed kills." So does Gaudreau, who finished with 15 kills on the night, and Richards who had 11 kills. Halbert finished with 34 assists. Chiles made a defensive adjustment by game two and was able to hang close to the Lady (ndianis. "I think they (Chiles) were a little shell-shocked in the beginning," Wheatley said. "They were like deer in the headlghts. They settled down." And how. SAbbyWhiddon served with surgeon-like precision. Adri- enne Hall was a presence at the net for the Lady W\olves. "This is much better than last year," said Chiles coach Chad Davis, whose team lost 25-18, 25-18, 25-11 in last year's state title match. "I couldn't ask for more from our girls in games two and three. This will lift our confi- I , dence." Chiles played in Fort Myers Saturday against Evangelical Christian, the defending Class 2A champion. Chiles and Venice could face each other again this sea- son. Both are in the Tampa Prep Tournament in early October. Then down the road there's the state tournament. Venice's next action is Tuesday at home against Manatee. The Her-icanes were the Lady Indians' chief rival in district last year. "They have everybody back plus two big girls," Wheatley said. "Their coach quit last week."'

Jim Shepard, Store Manager, MarineMax Cape Haze, explains, "We're overstocked - way overstocked. I don't think we can park another boat on our lot and we have new shipments on the way." The case is true on many ManneMaNla lots, so the company decided to throw the world's largest boat sale by marking down boats and "Never before in our history have you been able to buy a boat with these incentives." Jim Shepard, Store Mgr., MarineMax Cape Haze throwing a nationwide event. "I knew if we held parts of the sale in Punta Gorda and Venice, that would help. and if we offer to sell our remaining' inventory of new and used boats at the lowest prices of the year, that would probably do the trick. So, that's exactly what we're going to do, August 25 to 27 at the Charlotte County Tentatorium and our MarineMax Venice location. "Sure," continued Shepard, "selling new boats with full manufacturers warranties at these prices hurts. But with new boats on the way and no place to put them, we have no other Choicee" Just what kind of discounts can custoiners expect? Shepard \vent on., "Customers can save three ways. Manufacturers, like Sea Ray, are offering special Hot Summer Nights incentives. In addition, MarineMax is- .offering our own incentives on, premium bands like Boston Whaler, Sea Ray and Meridian. And finally, there are finance incentives available to qualified customer's using our special financing." Some of our best-selling Sea Rays, like the Sea Ray 195 Sport, will be sold with payments' as-low as $190 a month to qualified customers! Or take the 220 Sundeck for payments as low as $348 a month. In addition, customers can save as much as $20,000 on combined rebates on models up to 34 feet. "Even though these prices are unheard of in our history, no shortcuts will be taken on what we're famous for - the MarineMax experience!" said John Negele, Store Manager, MarineMax Venice. "At MarineMax, there are never any hidden charges. Even freight and prep are included. Our All-Inclusive Value Pricing also means that every customer will get what they need to be on the water, like free Coast Guard equipment even a free tank of gas!" Negele continued.

"Only MarineMax creates exclusive events like Getaways!, (trips organized by MarineMax so you can experience the boating lifestyle with other owners) and classes for the whole family. It all adds up to a total experience you won't find anywhere else." Sales managers have been instructed to move all new and used boats, according to Shane Wagnor, Sales Consultant in Cape Haze. "I've never seen so much quality inventory. We need to move these boats quickly. Financing is available on the spot with practically no down payment on approved credit. "We'll make-it quick and easy for anyone who's in the market for a good new or used boat to get one at this sale for a very low price," said John Dupize, Finance Manager in Cape Haze. Dupize continued, "We really want to move boats during this sale. Our finance managers will be on-site to secure very low finance rates." The Punta Gorda and Venice locations of The World's Largest Boat Sale will be held August 25 to 27 at the Charlotte County Tentatorium in Punta Gorda, between the US 41 bridges and MarineMax Venice, 1485 South Tamiami Trail on the south side of the island.

SWWW.VENICEGONDOLIER.COM SUNDAY, AUG. 27,2006 14A VENICE GONDOLIER SUN KORWEK from Page IA always going to school to further his education. After we married, he got his mas- ter's degree in electrical engi- neering from the University of Michigan in Dearborn. 'At one point," she said, "Phil thought he would like to begin work on a doctorate, so we both decided to retire from Ford. We moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., where he could attend the classes he needed at the Universitypof Michigan campus there. "However," said Korwek, "after.about a year and a half, Phil came to the conclusion - and I heartily agreed - that getting his Ph.D. was not nearly as desirable as moving to a warmer climate. "One of our friends from Dearborn had a condo in Venice, Fla.," she said, "and they were always talking about how wonderful it was down there. In 1981, we fi- nally took a trip to visit Venice. That was all it took -just that first experience of driving down Venice Avenue from the do\wnown to the beach, and we were both hooked. .. "We were. used to the 'beach' on Lake Huron," sh'e said, "where the warmest, water temperature was us- ually around. 68 degrees; so this was quite a nice change. Two years later, we left N ichigan for good.' '". Backto the historical That was 1983. After a few years of getting acclimated and finding out more about, the community of Venice, Korwek applied for appoint- ment to a vacancy on the city planning commission in early 1989. Later that year, she ran for and was elected to a three- year term on city council. "It was during that time," she said, "that I became very interested in the preservation of some of the cit-'s historic buildings. I thought the old architecture and structures represented the real character of Venice, and that those ori- gins should be honored. "Near the end of my term as a city commissioner," said Korwek, "the preservation of the Triangle Inn building became a big issue over which the community was, quite divided. There were a lot of people who felt histori- cal preservation was just a waste of time and money. Since I took a strong stand in favor of its preservation, and investing some taxpay- ers' funds to do it, that was probably why my bid for re- election failed. "Fortunately," she said, "the Venice Historical Com- mission was also supporting the effort to preserve the Triangle Inn, and in 1991, we were successful in getting the building moved from the corer of Nassau Street and Pensacola Road to its current location on South Nassau Street behind the community center. "That was just the begin- ning of the process of restor- ing and using the building," she said. "I served as' one of the volunteers under the direction of Berr Arnall horn 1991 to. 1996. \ith funding from many private sources, as well as grant assistance from the city of Venice, Sarasota County, The Venice Foundation, and the Florida SDepartment of State (Didi- sion of Historical Resources, Bureau of Historic Preser- vation), we were able to, complete the restoration and renovation of the Tri- angle Inn, and get it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. "It was shortly after that, in March of 1996,"' Korwek said, "when Betty Arnall an- nounced her plans to retire as the city's director of his- torical resources effective at the end of September. I was appointed as the assistant director during those months, and then as director starting Oct. 1." Although her position on the city staff is labeled and paid as "part-time," Korwek said she has to work hard to keep her-hours down. "There is always some- thing to do here;" she said, "so I am tempted to be here atall hours, even though the city manager has told me not to.' "I keep busy at home with ,gardening and landscaping it is always, a work in Progress, Which Ikeep chang- Venice Archives and Area Historical Collection, and referred to generally as "the home of history" in Venice. "I'm not a historian," Kor- wek said. "Historians write about history. I am an ar- chivist, a collector of histori- cal memorabilia for the benefit of posterity." A tour of'the Triangle Inn offers proof positive of the success of Korwek and her corps of volunteers. The first ployees from the city public works department can be called upon to perform vari- ous maintenance functions, anything they cannot do, such as mowing the grass, must be done by local con- tractors. "The big contract project we have going on now," she said, "is to add fixtures to the exterior windows on the tower and west loggia (openporch area) which will accommo- SLIU PHOTO Bi ROiLLIE RE ,'iJOLDS Director Dorothy Korwek, left, and volunteer Mary Charles review information retrieved on the computer for an archive research project. ing.

The Korwek Corps The Triangle Inn building was constructed in 1927 as a rooming house. Over the years it has served as a bed and breakfast inn, then a residence for World War II employees of the Venice Army Air Base, then a private home for awhile, and finally as an apartment building. It is now the home of the flior consists of a reception area. a small office anid restroom. and four good-size exhibit rooms. ":A the oak floors, interior doors and %windows of the building are original fixtures," said Korwek, "as are many of the other features, like the poured :concrete fireplace. .The exterior windows and decorative wrought iron around the building have been restored to the original designs of the 1920s." As director of this facility, Korwek is also responsible for all building and property maintenance. Although em- date new opaque, fiberglass storm window panels for hurricane protection. This sys- tem will replace the plywood panels we used last year. "The plywood was very heat and difficult to install," she said, "and the screws were ruining the window frames. The new panels are very light and easy to install, and the attachment system will be inconspicuous for the sake of year-round appearance." Changes "Things have changed a lot- just in the 10 years i've been here," said Korwek. "\We have transitioned to com- puters and scanners, from films to videotapes to DVDs, and from slide programs to PowerPoint presentations - I can't tell you how much of an improvement that is. "We are converting our reel-to-reel audiotapes of interviews with Venice old timers to CDs," she said. 'And we have an old 'History of Venice' film which we are converting to DVD video for- mat. It was originally spon- sored by the First National Bank when Merle Graser was bank president, and was shown exclusively to civic clubs and organizations in the area they never sold copies of it. That film con- tained interviews with many of the pioneers from the 1920s and 30s who are no longer with us, and reenact- ments' of many local history events. 'A newer version of the 'History of Venice' was pro- duced by the Venice His- torical Society between 1999 and 2001," she said. "That was a video incorporating a lot of new information and photos which had not been available earlier. Copies of that video can be purchased here at the Archives, at the old train station, and at the city hall cashier's office." The Triangle Inn archives are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondavs and Wed- nesdays during the months of lune through December. (During lanuary through SMay, when more visitors and residents are in the area, they are also open on Tuesdays.) "The key to all of our work here is our corps of volun- teers," Korwek concluded. 'Although it is difficult during the summers because many go back up north, we still depend on them year round. We are always looking for new people who want to help out."

Above: Atlantis lifting from LC39B in April 2002. Atlantis is scheduled to lift from 39B again today, Sunday, Aug. 27. Left: The space shuttle Atlantis (hidden by service module) was moved to Launch Complex 39B about three weeksago for launch preparations. BY TOMMY MCINTYRE STAFF WRITER The Cape Kennedy Space Center complex is so vast it is difficult to put in perspective. A must-see, launch or no launch, the KSC is located 45 minutes east of Orlando, 3 hours and 5 minutes from Venice. It shares proper- ty with the 140,000-acre Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. KSC is roughly six times the size of Manhattan. In simplest terms, manned flights are launched from the KSC, unmanned flights from nearby Cape Canaveral. Some information for this article is taken from NASA guides, brochures and other sources. The article was written in hopes it might help you enjoy the Atlantis launch just a little more. Mine's bigger than yours Everything.at the KSC is measured in very large numbers. This clearly is a game where size does matter a lot. For example, the shuttle assembly on the launch pad is roughly 30 stories tall. There is no rocket as such, like a Saturn rocket. Instead there are two propulsive elements, the two solid rocket boosters on either side of the second propulsive ele- ment, the external fuel tank. Please see NASA 14B This is one of the most recognizable and photographed buildings in the world. The 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building is where the orbiter is attached to the External Fuel Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters for the ride to the launch pad and into space. The Statute of Liberty would fit easily inside the VAB. Size does matter After: Alive. Vibrant. E> Before: Dull. Flat. Uninteresting...

Sarasota County is seeking volunteers to help celebrate National Public Lands Day on Saturday, Sept. 30, by clearing exotic plant species from county-owned sites. From 8 a.m. to noon, staff from Sarasota County Natural Re- sources and Parks and Rec- reation will guide volunteers in the removal of Brazilian pepper and air potato from the following four locations: * Pocono Trails Preserve, 189 Pocono Trail, Nokomis (just southeast of U.S. 41 and the bridge over Dona Bay) * Lemon Bay Park and En- vironmental Center, 570 Bay Park Blvd., Englewood * Phillippi Estate Park, 5500 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota * The portion of the county's rails to trails corridor behind Nokomis Community Park, 234 East Nippino Trail, Nokomis National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest hands- on volunteer effort to im- prove and enhance America's public lands. Sept. 30 marks the first year that Sarasota will participate in the 13th annual event, which is a program of the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation. During last year's National Public Lands Day, nearly 90,000 volunteers built trails and bridges, planted trees and plants, and removed' trash and invasive plants. In the process, they also learn- ed about the importance of public lands to the nation's environmental, economic and social health. "Invasive plants have a tendency to encroach on and take over native habitats." said Public Use Coordinator Brie Ondercin. "Some inva- sive plant species are toxic and harmful for other plants, animals and even humans. Removing them keeps them from spreading farther throughout the county's nat- ural areas and into people's backyards." The first 25 volunteers at each site will receive a Dis- cover Natural Sarasota Coun- ty T-shirt. All volunteers will receive gardening gloves and water..Restrooms or portable toilets will be available at each location, along with. dump- sters to place the removed exotic plants and garbage bags to collect trash and other debris. Participants must pro- vide their own hand tools, such as clippers and shears, and should also bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, hat optionalj and sunglasses. In case of rain, the event will move to Saturday, Oct. 21. Registration is required to participate. For information about how to register, con- tact the Sarasota County Call Center at 861-5000 and ask for Natural Resources. To learn more about Na- tional Public Lands Day, visit publiclandsday.org.

The event takes place at 5:30 Working beyond the standard eight-hour workday may s raise your risk of incurring a work-related injury, . regardless of what type of work you do. That is the finding of a 13- year study of over 10,000 U.S. employees who worked'overtime or on regularly extended shifts. The most , common complaints involved joirit and muscle problems. Employees who normally worked long shifts were 37 ,percent more likely to sustain an injury than their peers who worked shorter hours. Those who worked overtime were at 61 percent greater risk than employees whose jobs included no overtime. Stress may be a primary causative factor. Whatever the cause, if you work long hours, it may help to consult with a chiropractor before injury occurs. P.S. If possible, take short breaks at work to break the routine for the benefit of both the body andmind.

My husband's hearing aids "whistle" or "squeal" when he turns his head to the side or looks up. When this happens, I have to tell him to turn his hearing aid down because he does not hear it himself. Sometimes his hearing aid will: whistle in church where everyone can hear it. This is so embarrassing for both of us that he no longer wears his hearing aids in church and cannot enjoy the service. Is there anything we can do to prevent the hearing aids from "whistling"? A."Whistling" is known as acoustic feedback and it occurs when sound from the hearing aid speaker returns to the microphone inlet creating' a loop called the feedback path. This is typically the result of sound escaping from the ear canal through the ear mold or through the vent. The escaped sound re-enters the .microphone and is re- amplified beyond the maximum, output cap- abilities of the instrument. The ,result is ,a loud "whistle" which the wearer and those around them can hear. Most approaches to managing feedback usually result in reducing the power (or gain) the hearing aid produces and this can greatly interfere with the wear's ability to hear clearly. New feedback management techniques, can now avoid this problem. The new technology constantly monitors the * hearing aid for the presence of feedback and auto- matically eliminates it before it become audible! The Audiologists at Woodmere Hearing & Balance Centers, Inc. can evaluate your ,hearing instruments to determine if they are equipped with a feedback management system. If you or someone you know, have hearing aids that "whistle", call the Audiologists at 492-4327 for more information about feedback management technology.

We had taken a lift to a restaurant at the top of a mountain. As one often does in a place like that, we started talking to the cou- ple at.the next table. Of course we started asking the "Where are you from" bit ... "I'm from so and so," one man answered. "Oh," I said, "My sister and brother-in-law live on Guam. My sister, Cynthia Olsen, writes a col- umn for the Saipan paper. And my brother-in-law works for the radio station." "Well," he said, "I am your sister's dentist and I know Olie well." Srall world? And spooky. And then we were in a museum, I believe in Welling- ton. A youngish looking man with his young son came up to my husband and asked, "Aren't you from Ferris State College in Michigan?" Of course he was. We were trav- eling with Joan Norton and Dorothy Wolfinger, all of Big Rapids, and it turned out Dorothy's husband had been this young man's professor. Getting smaller. After graduating from Kal- amazoo College, my son, John, taught English in Tokyo, Japan, for three years. They lived in the little village of Yatsu and somehow inherited the care of a farm hduse, complete with thatched sides and roof, which was way up in the mountains. One day when they had driven up there to check on it, two stu- dents who had heard about the cottage came up to see it. When John asked where one of the students was from, she said, "Oh, a little town in Michigan that you wouldn't have heard of." "Try me," said John. "Reed City," she answer- ed. Well, for you Venice folks, Reed City is just a short hop from Big Rapids, where we lived for 25 years. Smaller still. A friend has recently mov- ed to Venice from England and she had this story to share. When they had been in England a short time, they were told of a great beauty: spot for walking and decided to see what it had to offer. Standing at a gate to the path, my friend was asked by a passerby that she didn't have anything in her country quite as lovely as this, did they? Made her mad and put her on the defensive. With that, the gentleman started question- ing her as to where she had lived and it finally came down to the fact that she had lived in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. "Oh," said he, "My aunt lived there for years," and then.the questions came from my friend. Pinpointing the aunt's residence to a mobile home park, they found that my friend had bought a sofa from this lady and that when she had been updating her address book for the intended move to England, found the aunt's name and decided that she must be dead bynow and destroyed the number. As it happened, that had been just about the time the lady had died and he had gone to California to bring her body to his place in Wyoming for burial. Things get spookier and spookier.

The Statewide Steering .Committee of the new Florida iSty.oAr, of' Faith I' Ai, action Network (FIFiANet) met re- cently at the Gulf Coast Com- munity Foundation in.Venice Florida to celebrate the award of a two-year $75,000 collabo- rative grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "This is a significant award for a couple of reasons," said State Steering Committee Chair, Keith Backhaus. "First, it was one of only 15 grants awarded nationally. Second, the Florida coalition was the only grassroots consortium to receive the award. Third, the Florida Network represents the largest group of member- ship chapters to form. a col'- laborative of those 15 gran- tees." Faith In Action is a na- tional program'of caregiving for people who need a bit of extra help to stay in their homes and remain indepen- dent in safety and dignity. * The grant will enable the Faith In Action Florida chap- ters to develop a statewide coalition that will provide support, marketing and fi- nancial and administrative resources to all 38 chapters. There are two Faith in Action programs in Sarasota County, both at Senior Friendship Centers. The, Gulf Coast Com- munity Foundation of Venice is the fiscal agent for the new network. Beth Harrison, vice president of Donor Services for the Foundation, said, "We are delighted to provide this service to the Florida Network of Faith In Action programs and wish them every suc-. cess." The state administrative office will be located in Lake- land, in Central Florida.

My husband, and I are both' about to retire and love to trav- el but also love a bargain. - Savvy Travelers Dear Travelers, Everybody loves a bargain but, with so many baby boomers at or near retire- ment age, senior discount , travel deals that have real value are getting harder to find. Here are some tips that may help. Hotel bargains It's nice to know that most hotels in the United States offer some type of a senior discount however, the age you're eligible will vary. As you look for the best deals, keep in mind that the larger senior discounts (30 to 50 percent) are generally found at the more expensive hotels. Inexpensive chains such as Motel 6 and Super 8 typically offer a moremodest (10 to 15 percent) savings. Also be aware that from time to time hotels (to attract business) offer special deals or promo- tions that may be a lower rate than what the senior dis- cdittit,.i'tBe sure Vou check. Here are some of the better senior discount offerings by various chains.

Venice Gondolier Sun 8B TRA SUNDAY AUG. 27, 2006 Journey to Asia, Part IV - CONTACT US KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR (941) 207-1105 kcool@venicegondolier.com www.venicegondolier.com Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam EDITOR'S NOTE: This is Part four of a five-part series on the Strands' trip to South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. BY GERALD STRAND GUEST WRITER Why go to Hoi An, Viet- nam? Simple. Hoi An was Elaine's reward for having had to use crude, and often filthy, "squatty-pot- ties;" for eating far too much Korean kimchi; for sleeping with lizards and insects (crawling and flying ones); for swallowing snake, pig brain, dog, swamp snails and more kimchi; and well, let's face it for putting up with a hus- band who loves all the above ... except squatty potties. When going to Hoi An, fly into Danang, and hire a guide and driver. On the way to Hoi An, tour Danang's outstand- ing history museum, visit nearby China Beach (familiar to all Vietnam vets), and stop at Marble Mountain to see incredible stone carvings. When staying in HoiAn, I rec- ommend Vinh, Hung Resort (telephone 910577); it has excellent rooms, a superb restaurant, a beautiful pool with an in-water bar, and it's surrounded by palm trees ... think Hawaii. Hoi An is located on the coastline of central Vietnam, about 30 km south of Danang. It was one of Vietnam's most important seaports from the 16th to late 19th century. Hoi An was frequented by mer- chants from all over Asia and Europe. During this time, Hoi An came under the influence of China, Japan and tradition- al Vietnamese ancestors from Indo-China. Nearly all of Hoi An remains unchanged to- day: A small, charming and ancient town that is recog- nized as aWorld Heritage site. Hoi An is a treasure-trove of tiny shops where travelers can have clothes and shoes tailor-made overnight. It is loaded with quaint restau- rants that serve delicious Asian food and drink for every taste. And, best of all, Hoi An is the perfect size for walking its entire "preserved" com- munity at a leisurely pace, without the noise, pollution and traffic found in big cities. In short, Hoi An was where Elaine told me to stand in the shade of a tree while she lost herself in fine cloth, beautiful footwear, outstanding wood and stone carvings, exotic art and an endless supply of sou- venirs and trinkets. In Hoi An, we met two friends, Van Lu and Warren. Van Lu owns JV Travel in Fair- fax, Va.; she plans our Asian trips. Van Lu grew up in Saigon, from where she and her family escaped as the Viptcong were entering the city. Warren is a retired senior military officer who served in Vietnam and, subsequently, all over the world. Warren is a linguist, a specialist in foreign languages. Van Lu and Warren found- ed the Vietnam Children's Program, an organization that identifies small projects that will significantly improve the lives of Vietnamese children. On this trip to Hoi An, they were. investigating a local woman's plea for help with her Red Cross program. A visit revealed a dilapidated one- room hut in desperate need of reconstruction. If all goes well, I will join a small team of volunteers in spring 2007 that will construct a new Red Cross outpost. Traveling in foreign na- tions is always a treat when accompanied by a native speaker. Van Lu made Elaine's trips to the tailor's shop pure joy. As a former seamstress herself, Van Lu made sure that Elaine's new business suits fit perfectly. I simply stood in the shop's open doorway - sweating profusely in the Elaine Strand relaxes in the pool at the Vinh Hung Resort in Hoi An. PHOTOS COURTESY OF GERALD STRAND The Grand Hotel at the corner of Le Loi and Dong Khoi in Ho Chi Minh City. Gerald Strand oh hii'aBeach in Vietnam. Elaine Strand crawled through one of the remaining tunnels carved by North Vietnamese "tunnel rats" during the war. Cyclists wave at the tourists. Vietnam heat as I marveled at the number of Vietnamese hands that tugged at Elaine's skirts, opened her blouse, smoothed the creases, and adjusted the seams. No kid- ding, unknown people came riding in on motorbikes, then immediately proceeded to lift her skirt or realign the lapels of her dress in order to cover any cleavage. I think a call went out that a Western woman was being fitted, so "all hands-on-deck!" (pun intended). We returned to Ho Chi Minh City after visiting Hoi An. We stayed at the Grand Hotel on the corner of Le Loi and Dong Khoi (telephone 823-0163). Our accommoda- tions and meals were terrific, yet affordable. In the last five years, an ex- plosion of growth has chang- ed Ho Chi Minh City in dra- matic fashion. It is still a city of exotic Asian energy, but now that energy is fueled by youthful enthusiasm ... the "old boy traditional commu- nist leaders" are going or gone. Our young guide re- marked quite candidly that he and his friends have closely watched the actions of their peers in the Czech Republic,' Hungary, Romania, Taiwan and South Korea. "We want more," he told us, "much more ... and soon." Since it's never wise to comment on political state- ments made by the residents of a socialist country, we sim- ply responded that lasting change most often occurs one-step-at-a-time. As would any young person who is in a hurry, he only laughed and then responded as if we'd not heard him the first time, "Young people here want change soon,.. not interested in being patient." I love Ho Chi Minh City because under its new exteri- or still lurks the alluring and mysterious Saigon, the place where Navy Hospital Corps- man Ronnie Remson the main character of my novel "The Red Caduceus" was exposed to covert operations executed during the Vietnam War. At that time, Saigon was the Rex Hotel, French Indo- China, baa baa bia (33 beer), gorgeous Vietnamese girls and sultry nights spent in sleazy bars. Saigon was also the heartbeat of hope for South Vietnamese people who desperately wanted democracy and the site of United States' shame when our retreating evacuation helicopters left them standing Please see VIETNAM, 13B Pearl River Resort $189"* *Receive back $40.00 in meals and cash bonuses, Seats Available September 24th and Oct. 29t ESCORTED MOTORCOACH TRANSPORTATION (941) 473-1481 1 (800) 284-1015 1546 S.

A'- DICK HARRISON COLUMNIST Istood there, mouth agape, horrified at the destruction I had wrought, pinioned by every eye, the sudden silence roaring in my ears, as images of each dumb and embarrass- ing thing I had ever done marched across the screen of my mind. That day, when I officially became instant Grandpa to four delightful children was one of the happiest of my life. It was. at least for a memo- rable moment, one of the most mortifying, as well. Terry, Jeff, Al and Jessica, ranging in age from 15 to 7, were resplendent members of .the wedding party on the day my son, Chris, had the good sense and good fortune to marry their mother. During the time Chris and Gayle courted an almost instanta- neous bond between the kids and their novice grandpar- ents had developed and I was already "Grandpa" in word Sand deed. On the wedding day there were far-flung friends and rel- atives from both sides of the Aisle and I was trying my best to make a decent impression. SExcept for hurried introduc- tions before the service my best chance, of coming off well with 'the new kinfolk would be at the reception fol- lowing the service. That was when IT happened. The wedding guests began arriving from church, some carrying beautifully wrapped gifts, some bearing trays and covered dishes of food to add to the gaily decorated buffet table, which was being pre- pared by a bustle of friends and family. In an effort to appear useful 1 asked if I might help and was assigned the task of filling the punch bowl placed at the center of the groaning board. The blend of fruit juices had been readied in advance and I carefully emptied it into the bowl before, just as cau- tiously, pouring in several bottles of ginger ale. All that remained was to add the crowning touch, a half-gallon block of pineapple ice cream to float as majestically as an iceberg on the pink froth. This J set about to do, not foresee- ing the result until the last split, second when actions designed for good but des- tined for failure cannot be recalled. The brick of ice cream should have gone in first. Picture, if you will, the Titanic slipping in slow motion down the ways, prov- ing once again Archimedes' Principle that its giant bulk would displace an equal amount of water to dissipate in ever decreasing ripples along the banks of the river. It does not happen that way in a See WAVE, NEXT GREEN SHEET A letter from Grandpa to granddaughter going to Iraq EDITOR'S NOTE: Dick Harrison heard about his granddaughter Ali's posting to Iraq on the day of the final performance of his church's July Fourth tribute "Home of the Brave." This is the letter he sent to her that day. Ali and her sis- ter, Jessica's, big brother, Jeff, is in the Air Force. He became a licensed pilot at age 17. DearAli.

The wave builds quickly and like the dream of a dedi- cated surfer seeking a perfect wave, it crests and curls' before crashing against the beach. My perfect wave did this, curling over the edge of the bowl to sweep away the ring of decorative flowers sur- rounding the bowl before crashing from the table as if it were a miniature Niagara If I' had been 2 inches tall, about the height I felt, I could have ridden that wave to the mid- dle of the dance floor. It was an instant crystal- lized.in time. Not a soul in the room stirred for that inter- minable moment except one.

SBY BOB WALCH KNIGHT RID'DER NEWSPAPERS If you really want to pam- per your cat and show how much you love the furry feline, consider making it a gourmet dinner. Unsure what entree would please your finicky pet? Patti Delmonte has plenty of sug- gestions on what constitutes high cat cuisine that she shares in "Real Food For Cats" (Storey Publishing, $12.95). The 50 vet-approved reci- pes created to please the feline gastronome who shares your home will not only satisfy the animal's diet- ary needs, but hopefully will have him meowing for sec- onds. Running the gamut from fish to fowl to eggs and even a few meatless meals, the reci- pes are divided into groups that include such tasty dishes as Gizzard Goulash, Sardines and Rice (Kitty Heaven), Kitty Pizza and Western Scramble for Kitty Roundups. In the special-treat catego- ry are Cat Chow Cookies, Tabby Tuna Popsicles and Meow-Va-Louis Mackerel Munchies. An unusual feature of this kitty cookbook is the "Tan- dem Cooking Recipes" sec- tion. Here you will discover ideas that work for both cats and their "people." Prepare the main part of the recipe to make a mouthwatering people meal and then, with a few adjustments, you can turn a portion of the feast into well-balanced feline fare. This means everyone in .the household at and under the table can enjoy Shish Kebab, Chicken Paprika, Sal- mon Loaf, Rabbit Stew and Chicken Cordon Bleu! For cats with special health problems, the author also offers some special meals that address allergies, a deli- cate intestine, obesity, uri- nary problems and impaired liver and kidney function. You'll also want to check the information on how to give the brush-off t hairballs by adding vegetable matter to kitty's diet. SAMPLE RECIPE FOR A KITTY TACO: 1/2 Ib. ground beef 2 tbsp. finely chopped bell pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp. tomato paste 1 tsp. corn oil 1 corn tortilla, cut into kitty bite-size pieces 1/2 tsp. bonemeal 1.2 tsp. brewer's yeast 1/2 tsp. iodized salt 2 tbsp. grated cheddar cheese Steps: Start browning ground beef .over medium heat in a skillet. When meat is half cooked, add bell pepper and garlic. Cook the mixture until meat is golden brown. Turn heat to low. Stir in tomato paste, corn oil, chopped tortilla, bonemeal, brewer's yeast, and salt. Stir until heated through. Cool and serve topped with grated cheese. (Note: Makes enough for 2-3 kitty servings. Refrigerate leftovers.) PHOTO COURTESY OF HSSC The Humane Society of Sarasota County has a shelter full of kittens, and they're learning how to eat solid food now. Please help out by stopping by HSSC with dry kitten food. These little ones are looking for families to love them, but while they're here at the shelter, they need lots of food. Adopt a kitten for just $65. Fees include spay/neuter testing, vaccines and microchipping. For kittens too small for surgery, a refundable foster fee will be charged.

Restless leg syndrome Dear Savvy Senior, Can you tell me about rest- less leg syndrome, and what can be done to treat it? I'm 59 years old and think] may have it. - Jumpy Judy DearJudy, Restless leg syndrome (RLSj is considered to be one of the most under-diag- nosed, common conditions that most Americans know nothing about. Here's what you should know. Jumpy legs SA condition that affects Ground 10 percent of the U.S. population, RLS is a neuro- logical disorder-that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs (usually in the calf area) and an irresistible urge to move your legs when resting or sitting still. While RLS can begin at any age, symptoms usually become more severe in middle-to-old age. The main complaint with RLS (other than it being uncom- fortable) is that at night, when the symptoms tend to be worse, it disrupts sleep. Do you have RLS? Here are some questions to ask your- self that may help you know: When you sit or lie down, do you have a strong desire to move your legs? Does your. desire to move your legs feel impossible to resist? Would you use the words unpleasant, creepy-crawly, electric current, itching, tin- gling, pulling, or tugging to describe your symptoms? Does your desire to move often occur when you are resting or sitting still? Does moving your legs make you feel better? Do these symptoms bother you more at night? Do you keep your bed partner awake with the jerk- ing movements of your legs? Do your ever have invol- untary leg movements while you are awake? SavVy facts While doctors still don't know what causes RLS, they do know of various condi- tions that are linked to it, such as genetics (it often runs in families), anemia, kidney problems, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, atten- tion deficit disorder and pregnancy. Other factors that can contribute and aggravate RLS are certain medications, caffeine, alcohol, stress and more. Treatment tips While there's no cure for RLS, there are some things you can do to alleviate the symptoms. Depending on the severity of your case, here are some tips that may help: Check your meds: Certain drugs that treat high blood pressure, heart condi- tions, nausea, colds, allergies and depression can make RLS worse. Ask your doctor to prescribe another medi- cine if this seems to be hap- pening to you.! Get a blood test: Studies show that iron or vitamin deficiency can cause or wors- en RLS. Your doctor can easi- ly check this with a simple blood test, and may recom- mend supplementing your diet with vitamin E, iron, vit- amin B12 or folate. Watch your diet: Pay attention to what you eat and if it may cause or increa'"" your symptoms. Drop or reduce the vices: Caffeine, alcohol and tobac- co can all make symptoms worse. Stretch and massage: A good calf stretch and a strong massage may provide some relief. Hot and cold: For some people, a hot or cold bath can help or try using a heat- ing pad or ice pack. Exercise: Moderate exer- cise (20 to 30 minutes three or four times a week) can also relieve symptoms and help you sleep better. Exercising late in the eve- ning, however, can induce symptoms. Reduce stress: Stress can aggravate RLS. Meditation and yoga are good relaxation techniques you may wan t to try, especially before going to bed at night.. Improve sleep patterns: Fatigue also tends to worsen symptoms, so help yourself by maintaining a regular sleep scheduled. See sleep- foundation.org for healthy sleeping tips. Drug treatments: If the above tips don't improve your condition, your doctor may prescribe a medication. Possible options include Requip, a relatively new drug and the first one specifically approved by the FDA to treat RLS. Other drugs that can help are dopaminergic agents (also used to treat Parkinson's disease), seda- tives, anticonvulsants and pain relievers.

Jim Miller is a regular contributor to the NBC "Today Show" and ,author of "The Savvy Senior" book. the U.S. Naval Reserves, but she didn't fully appreciate the Vietnam War era. So, we visit- ed the decidedly biased War Remnants Museum and toured the places in the city that were always in the news. I also took her to the Cu Chi Tunnels, where she saw and experienced, firsthand,. the ingenuity of the Vietcong. Elaine crawled through a tun- nel; she smelled the pungent odor and felt the damp clay .tunnel walls. She shared a paradoxical sense of cama- raderie with theVietcong who suffered inside the cramped quarters and with the .oura- geous American 'runnel rats" who moved silently through the same tunnels to search for and destroy its occupants. Elaine's time in Vietnam was filled with moments rich in meaning, conversations that left her heart touched with joy, people who made her feel special, places that ran the gamut from primeval to ultramodern, and experi- ences that now link her in a very real way to that era of his- tory that still haunts people my age.

Prior to launch, the space shuttle (consist- ing of the orbiter, external fuel tank and boosters) weighs 4.5 mil- lion pounds. Of that, 3.8 million pounds are pro- pellants con- sumed in 8-1/2 minutes. Keep in mind, there are more than 2.5 million parts in the shut- tle and every one of them has to work perfectly.

The SRBs have the thrust of 35 Boeing 747s and are jet- tisoned after 2 minutes and 4 seconds of flight. They are retrieved from, the Atlantic Ocean by a highly specialized vessel and dive team. LC (Launch Complex) 39B, from which Atlantis will be launched, is 4.2 miles from the Launch Control Center. Once the shuttle leaves the ground, Kennedy immediate- ly turns over control to Hous- ton, Texas. The Mobile Launch Plat- form that takes the shuttle to the launch pad from the 525- foot tall Vehicle Assembly Building weighs 8 million pounds, give or take. The crawler that hauls the MLP and its precious cargo at the breakneck speed of 1 mile per hour weighs another 6 million pounds. And, the Mobil Service Structure weighs still another 9.4 million pounds. You prob- ably knew that. The Shuttle Landing Faci- lity (SLF) at Kennedy is 15,000 feet long and 300 feet wide.

PHOTO COURTESY OF NASA At age 61, when this photo was taken in 1996, Mission Specialist Story Musgrave, M.D., was the oldest human to fly into space and set a new record for most shuttle flights. Musgrave is shown here entering the Space Shuttle Columbia from the White Room at LC39B 10 years ago. 3-mile radius are the astro- nauts aboard the orbiter. Reason? The shock wave from the loudest man-made sound tial of making you so nuts you bay at the moon, the guide said, only half joking. The guide said fish jump right out of the water when the rocket goes off. Turkey vultures are a po- tential threat to a launch. They are rounded up and trapped (nobody seems to know how) prior to launch, then released af- ter it's over. Wild- life specialists also tramp the woods and make lots of noise (yes, with guns) to scare the wildlife away before a launch. a; aa! Having said all that, a one- day tour of the KSC is at once exciting but tir- m.id ing. Two days are really need- ed. Have lunch with an astro- naut. It's $22 a pop and it's a hoot.

With more than 17,500 hours on his flight log, Mus- grave has piloted 160 different types of civilian and military planes, including 7,500 hours in high-performance jet air- craft. His resume alone makes you wonder what went wrong wi h your life. Yet, he could still be anybody's next ia'or niig bor only better looking, in better shape, and a.hell of alot smarter. I was disappointed Mus- grave showed up for lunch in a white T-shirt, denim shorts and white sneakers. I'd hoped he'd be wearing the tradition- al blue flight suit (anybody looks good in a flight suit), NASA patch and gold wings. How cool would that be? He should have called me. (There was talk he was dis- appointed in the way I was dressed, too.) Actually, going to the KSC when there is no launch is arguably better than going when there is one.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis - STS115 is set to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 4:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday, Aug. 27. (STS stands for Space Transportation System.) The mission is scheduled to last 11 days. Commander Brent Jett and his five crew mates pilot Chris Ferguson, mission spe- cialists Daniel Burbank, Steven MacLean, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Joseph Tanner will travel to the International Space Station to install a new 17-ton segment of the station's truss backbone, adding a new set of giant solar panels and bat- teries to the complex. Three space walks are planned. The astronauts arrived in T-38 jet planes Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center's 3-mile long Shuttle Landing Facility (runway). Over the next countdown hours, Jett and Ferguson practice a few final landing procedures in the T-38s. Meanwhile, the mission spe- cialists complete any mission-spe- cific training. All the astro- nauts then check the fit of their orange flight suits, a mundane but critical ele- ment. The crew also attends and participates in briefings on vari- ous segments of the mission.

At the "Holi- day Inn," the astronauts' activ- ities are quite limited. "At this point, we don't want anything to happen to them," one NASA guide said, "so we watch them very carefully." Even a sprained- ankle could be detrimental to the mission at that late date. Meanwhile, work at the launch pad is completed: Technicians load propellants, close the payload bay doors and prep the shuttle's flight systems. The crews' equipment is loaded into the orbiter's crew module and any final techni- cal issues are addressed. The launch team monitors all developments, including any potential launch-day weather issues.
