VENICE "l O O lefr LOCAL NEWS COVER TO COVER FLORIDA'S NO. 1 0 fClNT VO I IMFf61 N IMRFR 76 AN EDmON OF THE SUN WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY EDITION, SEPT. 13-14, 2006 *******AUTO** ALL FOR ADC 320 WEEuNIV OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES 205 SMA UNIV OF FLORIDA PO BOX 117007 GAINESVILLE FL 32611-7007 Venice to offer county a compromise To put off a vote on a worrisome county charter change the city is willing to impose a moratorium on annexations and comp plan changes for six months. All's right with the jetty set BY MARY APOSTOLU STAFF WRITER The city of Venice is poised to present a proposal to the Sarasota County Commission in order to avoid the place- ment of a proposed charter amendment on the ballot for a November vote. . The amendment would provide that a county zoning designation remain on land outside the urban service boundary annexed by a city unless the city and county agree on a change. "This movement is in the spirit of goodwill, and an effort to avoid community discord," said Venice City Manager Marty Black. The city ofVenice proposes a moratorium on accepting and moving forward on any new annexations and associ- ated comprehensive plan amendments for a period of six months. It would begin on Sept. 15 and expire on March 15. During this time frame, the county would agree not to put the charter amendment on the ballot for a referendum vote. The city asks for a commit- ment to discussion and negoti- ation of a joint planning agree- ment, working from the frame- work established through meetings between the city and county staff this summer. It would also require the county to not object to any annexation and comp plan amendment petitions within the urban service area during that time.. In exchange, the city agrees to place 440 acres of lands that have previously been submitted for annexa- tion in abeyance for six months. In March 2006, the county moved the urban service boundary, which used to go nearly to the Myakka River, to roughly a mile east of 1-75. The county is looking to back it up to the west side of the interstate, according to Black. The proposed charter amendment would allow the county to undo projects Ven- ice currently has under way, such as Fire Station 3, pro- posed Habitat for Humanity housing, workforce housing being planned by Gulf Coast Foundation of Venice and development of vacant com- mercial property around PGT. County officials say, how- ever, that they would apply the new rule only to property , that has not received its new ' zoning as of the' date the amendment becomes: effec- tive, and then only to changes that would place a burden on the county to provide infra- structure improvements. "What we are trying to do is lead the community in a sense of cooperation instead of conflict," said Black., You can e-mail Mary Apostolu at: mapostolu @venicegondoliercom. --- -I" ~V~ - SUN PHOTO BY JEFF TAVARES, jtavares@venicegondolier.com Birds perch on a marker and a man takes a walk on the South Jetty in Venice on Tuesday. Schools to become 'better communicators Superintendent Norris charts a course for a Landings reorganization; scraps one-size-fits-all approach to high school reforms, BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER Superintendent Gary Nor- ris unveiled far-reaching plans for the district Tuesday at a Sarasota County School Board workshop. Top on the list is reorganiz- ing The Landings administra- tive headquarters and estab- lishing a high-level cabinet of top advisors. School board members called the plan long overdue. "The research was excel- lent," said board member Kathy Kleinlein. "We are mov- ing much more quickly (with -changes) now. I'm very pleased with the reorganiza- tion." The reorganization is largely based on recommen- dations made by the Florida Association of School District Administrators six months after Norris was hired in April 2004. Norris said a .cabinet would bring all key decision makers to the table. "We have good ideas," Norris said, "but we've been a little shaky in execution. This is designed to fix the shaky execution." Beefed up In addition to "aligning our people with our priorities and plac(ingi people 'in the right seat on the bus," Norris said the plan is designed to effec- tively implement the district's NeXt Generation Learning strategic plan and enhance communication with em- ployees and the public. Discontent within school ranks and by members of the public affected both the March 2006 referendum and last year's high school reform efforts. Improving communica- tions was a key recommenda- tion by McREL (Mid-conti- nent Research for Education and Learning), a regional education research lab, in February. The lab was hired to evaluate Norris' NeXt Gen- eration Learning strategic plan after it became apparent there was moderate staff re- sistance based on what some perceived as: a general lack of understanding about the plan. To assist that effort, Norris announced the reorganiza- tion of The Landings commu- nications department.

And Southwest Florida is a great place for pump para- noia, since it tends to be on the high side compared with other Florida fuel markets. The AAA Fuel Gauge Re- port has been the bellwether of consumer gasoline price surveys for many years. For- merly based on price obser- vations at selected gasoline stations, it's now fully auto- mated and recomputed daily based on credit fuel purchas- es. The limitation of Fuel Gauge is that it provides broad averages for states and selected localities. On Friday, the Fuel Gauge average for Florida was $2.76 a gallon for regular unleaded. This compares to $3.02 a month ago and $2.98 a year ago. The Fuel Gauge reported that the Sarasota-Bradenton- Venice price was $2.76, with Fort Myers-Cape Coral clock- ing in at $2.85.

The high price average for the state was West Palm Beach- Boca Raton, $2.86. In general, prices were about 15 cents lower than the same time last year.

That role belongs to flori- dastategasprices.com, which is part of a network about about 170 sites run by a small Minneapolis Web developer, the GasBuddy Organization Inc. After only five years in business, the company has gas price sites covering all 50 states and all the provinces of Canada. The GasBuddy concept is simple. Any motorist can sub- mit price quotes by e-mail. They can also become Gas- Buddy members at no charge, chat with other mo- torists on a message board and qualify for prizes based on the amount of price quotes they supply. The sites are updated continually and no price quote is more than 36 hours old. Here's some of the latest prices from GasBuddy mem- bers. On Friday afternoon, the lowest gasoline in Florida was $2.41 a gallon at a Conoco Station in the Flying J Travel Plaza at Exit 192 on Interstate 10 in Midway. Several Pen- sacola stations were selling gasoline in the mid-$2.40 range. Naples was a pricey mar-, ket, with several stations OUR TOWN SECTION AROUND TOWN BRIDGE CLASS ACTS COFFEE BREAK CROSSWORD DEAR ABBY MILESTONES SOUTH NEWS VENUE WELL-BEING 't! V charging $2.99 a gallon. The highest price in the state was $3.09 at a Sunoco in Lake Park. Buy here Locally, prices were some- where in the middle, al- though significantly less at destinations closer to Tampa and its major petroleum ter- minal. Here are some Friday afternoon prices from both GasBuddy and observations by Sun reporters: In Venice, the low price was $2.69 at the Murphy Sta- tion at the Venice Wal-Mart. Several other stations were selling in the low-$2.70 range. On the south edge of North Port, the Circle K at Tamiami Trail and Cornelius Boulevard was charging $2.72. Englewood offered the cheapest gas in the area as little as $2.57 at the Murphy station at Sun Casa and State Road 776, with several sta- tions reporting $2.59. So, the solution to the high cost of gasoline is to fill up in Englewood, right? "We encourage drivers to look for the low prices along their route to work. But it sel- dom pays to drive out of your Sway just to save a few cents a gallon," said Randy Bly, com- munity relations manager for AAAAuto Club South. Local option Ultimately, the market price of crude petroleum dominates the retail price of refinery products, including gasoline and diesel fuel. The only way that consumer anger and worry can affect these prices is when it trans- lates into reduced consump- tion. Lower demand tends to cause prices to drop. While petroleum markets are an exercise in raw capital- ism, there are some local fac- tors that stand outside the normal ups and downs of crude petroleum prices. Understanding them is cer- tainly part of being an edu- cated consumer. Industry sources suggest that Southwest Florida may be paying more because of high local-option taxes and because there's no nearby fuel terminal. Also, the price of gasoline is influenced by the general cost of doing business. This definitely includes both the cost of real estate and the cost of insurance, both of which Please see GAS, 5A SUNDAYY LET'S GO!

State beaches rate high, but many still polluted STAFF, WIRE REPORTS Florida's beaches rank among the nation's cleanest based on national standards, but environmentalists said that closures and health ad- visories due to pollution increased slightly last year, in part because of hurricanes and red tide. Only 4 percent of Florida's beach samples exceeded the national bacteria standard in 2005, according to a report' released by the Natural Re- sources Defense Council. That's half the national aver- age. Charlotte County has four beaches that exceeded the standard; Sarasota has five. Florida tied with four oth- er states for seventh place among 29 coastal and Great Lakes states. A higher state standard, though, contributed to 3,428 days of beach closings and health advisories, an increase of 2 percent over the prior year but less than the record 3,986 days in 2003. "It's not terribly surprising that we've had to put out 'no swimming' signs more and more because every day Florida's gaining a thousand new people," said Linda Young, director of the Clean Water Network of Florida. "We have inadequate sew- age treatment facilities state- wide and we have inade- quate stormwater regula- tions." On the positive side, 35 percent of Florida's 307 monitored beaches never exceeded the state standard at anv time last year. The council has sued the federal Environmental Pro- tection Agency alleging its standards are too low. Flor- ida would be unaffected un- less the suit results in federal criteria more stringent than the state standard. Advisories for events ex- ceeding six consecutive weeks in Florida increased 131 percent in 2005 com- pared to the year before largely due to four hurri- canes and two tropical storms, according to the council's repo. .t! .. ,r, r:r! t '..

In an e-mail to North Port Commissioner Barbara Gross and Venice Mayor Fred Ham- inett, Sarasota County Com- missioner Nora Patterson wrote: "We may have con- Sfused the issue by following the advice of our attorneys and advertis- ing the most inclusive ver- sion as well as the slimmed- , down one that . spoke of only t new comp plan amend- Staub ments." County Commissioner Shannon Staub wrote in an e-mail to County Adminis- trator James Ley that version three be put up in "large let- ters" so everyone can read it. Version three is the most comprehensive version of the proposed charter amend- ment. However, one thing several county commissioners want to make clear is, they want to be part of the decision-mak- ing process when it comes to the cities plans for future growth. Sarasota County Commis- sioner Jon Thaxton said he knew the county would be "the bad guys" in this issue. However, he said there has never been an incentive for a city to include the county in planning, and sees the charter amendment as the last and only "legal way" to require cities to agree to a joint plan- ning agreement before approving comp plans. The three options The county has drawn up three possible charter amend- ments. All options refer to the land use map of March 2006. Version one is the broad- est. It states the board of county commissioners must approve all :changes to the future land use designations of all lands lying outside the Urban Service Areas regard- less of whether some of the lands are lo- cated within * a a city. Version , two has the same word- ing, but ex- empts any . land that has received a comprehen- Thaxton sive plan fu- ture land designation by a city "prior to the effective date" of the charter amendment. Version three, the most comprehensive, adds that if the city and county have entered into a joint planning agreement for lands outside the Urban Service Area, the JPA shall control the land use. The problem Thaxton said the county's comprehensive plan consid- ers growth with available infrastructure. When a city annexes land, the property has to be con- verted from the county land. designation to the city's be- fore it can be developed. When a land use designa- tion is changed from rural to higher density .for develop- ment, Thaxton said, the county must provide roads, beds in the jail and other services as a result. The prob- lem is there is no money to provide the infrastructure out- side the annexed area. Thaxton said the state prefers a JPA, but cannot require one. Staub said the county is not included in the planning process, and can only chal- lenge land use changes when they are presented to the state; Or it can file lawsuits. This puts the county in an adver- sarial position. Impact to cities "We do not want to stop annexations, or take away their (city's) home rule,". Thaxton said. "Our intention is to require coordination, not to set up roadblocks." Patterson said she does not mind cities "gaining more turf." "In many ways, I think cities are better equipped to deliver urban services," Pat- terson said. However, some county commissioners are concerned about the impact on the rest of the county when mass devel- opment occurs. The county has a' $1.5 billion deficit for road construction today. Thaxton said that without the county being part of the planning process, the cities have a dramatic effect on its infrastructure. He said the county has to plan for roads, libraries, jails, and traffic that come from having more people using its infrastructure. A possible solution Thaxton said he plans to support version three, en- couraging JPAs for future land use changes. Staub said she also prefers version three. . Patterson in her e-mail said she would support sus- pending any action by the county if the cities are will- ing to talk with the county. "As far as talking and work- ing things out, things did not look at all promising to us before the referendum idea was broached," Patterson said. "My thought would be decisions that change the face of the county for long enough to talk between our commis- "-j sions on an even playing Patterson field." She said this would re- quire a show of "good faith" by all the commissions. Patterson suggested the county would not move ahead for a period of time, so long as the cities do the same. Thaxton agreed, saying it could be accomplished with a document other than a charter 'amendment, "but it would have to be reliable." "This was not intended to be used as a back-door way," Thaxton said. "It is insurance that the JPAs will happen."

SMITH STAFF WRITER The place: Green Street Church on Thursday night. The assemblage: The Olde Englewood Village Home- owners Association, to hear a presentation by developers seeking to turn Shady Haven Mobile Home Park into a condominium complex. The result: Passionate, vo- ciferous and overwhelming disapproval of the plan. OEVHA president Dale Austin started off the even- ing's discussion by voicing his alarm at what he saw as the decimation of the Olde Englewood neighborhood. Developers take "a big chunk here and a little chunk there," he said to the audi- ence. "They're just'biting off pieces until it's not going to be Olde Englewood Village anymore. That concerns me. I hope it concerns you." OEVHA's membership is close to 200 and growing, Austin noted. That's 200 voices that can be heard when the matter comes up before the Sarasota Planning Commission on Thursday, Sept. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the Robert L. Anderson Building on 4000 South Tamiami Trail in South Venice. "You can't stop progress," Austin said, "but you can watch to see that it's properly carried out." After his introduction, Austin invited development team members Peter Wood- man and Brian Lichterman to present their plan to OEVHA members. The two spoke of converting the 9.38- acre site off Old Englewood Road into Royal Palm Marina Village, an 84-unit condo- minium/townhouse complex that would include a marina and a tiki bar. The project would take 15-18 months to complete. Someone in the audience wondered aloud how many of the old trees in the park would be bulldozed to build the complex. "No more than would be absolutely necessary," Wood- man said. Another person asked how tall the buildings would be. Woodman's answer: three stories. "Our purpose is not to come in and build a mon- strosity," Woodman said. "Since the mobile homes now provide affordable housing, will there be any in the condo complex?" asked one man in the back of the room. "I would guess that you're looking at probably $300,000 and up," Woodman replied. "So they're not affordable houses," the man said, to general laughter. "Those mobile homes are very old," said Mary Allseits,. the owner of the park, who with her husband, Hans, has a contract to sell the property to the developers. "There are 35 abandoned ones on the property right SUN PHOTO BY MOLLY DEMPSEY, mdempsey@sun-herald.com A plaque that reads "God Bless our Mobile Home" hangs on a mobile home in Shady Haven Mobile Home Park on Old Englewood Road. now," she added, remarking that anyone who looked at those homes now would not consider them livable, let alone affordable. Lichterman said tax in- cremental financing money generated by this project would benefit the local community redevelopment area. "When a new project comes in, 95 percent of that project's tax dollars are rein- vested back into the area through TIFs," he said. "This is a project that Englewood needs and will be good for the revitalization effort for Englewood," he added. When one woman refer- red to "high-rise" buildings, GRAPHIC COURTESY OF BRIAN LICHTERMAN The proposed layout of Royal Palm'Marina Village, an 84-unit condominium/townhouse project slated to be built on the present site of Shady Haven Mobile Home Park. Lichterman took issue with the characterization, which incurred a wave of protest. "When you drive, down Old Englewood Road, the sight of three-story residenc- es does not fit in with the shape of that neighborhood," the woman.said. Lichterman said land-, scaping planned for the new development would more than make up for any height differential, but the crowd's mood had turned decidedly sour, despite his contention that some 35 percent of the area would be dedicated to preserving "green space,". "If you think you're trying tajp nryvOlde.E n~glewqpd,; the ,nglelyood \ye-'re trygj to keep, wxh\ on-,earth- are7 you building condos?" de- manded a woman in the audience. "Why not condos?" Lich- terman responded. . "That's what's nice about our small community," the woman replied. "There are no condos here." Her remark brought loud applause. "I could argue the reason you don't have more growth here or more businesses is because there (aren't) any (condos)," he said. "We don't want any," re- sponded a chorus of shouts from the crowd, .. "Then you have to be willing to accept a dying downtown that doesn't get revitalized, that stays the, status quo," Lichterman said.. "Businesses leave, there's no, investment put into. your community. Is that what you want? For your community to shrivel up and die?" he asked. His remaining words were drowned by cries of protest from the audience. When things,, cfimed a ,pd a1 n near the front poke up in defense ol ho9\\ mng's are in town. ... . "A lot of us like it the way it is. We don't want to see' (Englewood) develop, into a Sarasota or a Tampa," he said, to loud applause. "We like the status quo." There was more applause.

The budget, which drew a handful of critics during the board's public comments period, is 12 percent more than last year's operating level. The millage rate for educa- tion a function of the state funding formula that funds each district with a set amount per student was formally adopted at 7.81, down from 7.861 mills last year, marking a 17-year low. While the overall educa- tion millage was lower, the budget amount was not. In April the board pre- viewed a $394 million operat- ing budget, which showed a 4.5 percent increase over the preceding year. It was revised. in the official preliminary budget document, released on June 6, to $409 million a 9.8 percent increase. Three months later it was revised upward again by roughly $4 million, mostly due to addi- tional positions warranted by higher enrollment. The revi- sion included an additional 48 teachers, six aides and .nine support positions. Tuesday's vote was split 3- 2, with chair Carol Todd and Frank Kovach voting against the budget. Kathy Kleinlein, Laura Benson and John Lewis voted in favor. Todd and Kovach protest- ed growth in the budget. Both previously spoke against use of fund transfers and use of other reserves to make up for shortfalls, with Kovach target- ing growing revenue as a source of the problem. Kathy Kleinlein, who voted in favor of the budget, said she supported the use of fund balances, much of which is typically rolled over into the next year's operating budget this time of year. This year's fund balance neared $40 mil- lion. "What are we going to do with that money if we don't use it," she asked. "The purpose isn't to grow the fund balance. It's to pro- vide opportunities for kids." Apology offered Kovach read from pre- pared remarks, apologizing to voters for the board's inability to to slow down growth in the budget. "When I was first elected to the board in 2000, the district was reeling from years of spending down reserves, to the point where drastic cuts in spending became neces- sary. I believe the voters of Sarasota elected me in part to implement better .controls to see that we did not get into this situation again. To those taxpayers, I want to apologize for my inability to slow down the tremendous growth. Though I have tried by con- tinually voting against the budget, attempting to reduce millage rates, and examining program costs, I am only one out of five." "The rationale for the large increases in our budget was the tremendous growth in student population. However, over the last two years student growth has slowed, but the growth of our budget has not We contin- ue to use nonrecurring rev- enues to balance our budget I believe it is time to end this practice," Kovach said. He proposed a one-quar- ter mill reduction, but there were no takers. No amendments to reduce the millage or reduce spend- ing were offered at an earlier July budget workshop. Kovach sympathized with members of the public who spoke against rising property taxes, but cautioned against increasing education spend- ing as a remedy to offset increasing taxes. "I have two letters from employees stating that they share my concerns. However, we differ on the cause and effects," Kovach said. You can e-mail Greg Giles at: ggiles @venicegondolier.comrn. GAS from Page 1A have become expensive in Southwest Florida. Terminal condition Nearly every gallon of gas- oline consumed in Southwest Florida arrives on an ocean tanker at the fuel terminals in either Tampa or Port Ever- glades. Area counties "happen to be in the highest freight-rate per gallon region because of the distance that has to be traveled," explained Jim Smith, executive director of the Tallahassee-based Florida Petroleum Marketers Asso- ciation. Fluctuations David Mica, executive di- rector of the Florida Pet- roleum Council, also of Talla- hassee, explained that petro- leum distributors watch daily, price fluctuations as closely as any consumer, "There's a contract price or terminal price that varies from day to day. The whole- saler will take possession at the terminal, move the prod- uct and set his price based on that floor. They have to add on their costs and profits - and the same thing happens at the gas station," Mica said. Mica added that miscella- neous costs of doing business can also show up in the price of a gallon of gasoline. For example, a community that has a high cost of land or restrictive zoning is likely to have expensive gasoline. Taxes Many motorists forget that taxes make up a large share of what they pay at the pump. Because transportation costs vary, they represent a fluctu- ating, though significant por- tion of retail pump prices. Taxes, on the other hand, are a matter of public record. Fuel taxes represent any- where from 42 to 52 cents, rounded, of the price of a gal- lon of gasoline in Florida. This begins with a federal excise tax of 18.4 cents a gallon. Add to this a 14.9-cent state tax, up from 14.5 cents in 2005. Finally, there's a confusing group of local-option taxes. So many factors play into the price of crude that even industry analysts usually dis- cuss price trends only in round figures; For example, one much-quoted rule of thumb suggests that every $10 move- ment in the price of a barrel of crude petroleum translates into 50 cents, more or less, on the price of a gallon of gasoline. SCHOOLS ..F, I A communications plan de- signed to beef up its output, communicate more directly with staff and the public, and enhance its overall image. At least two new staff will be hired to assist the communi- cations department, which previously consisted of one staff person and a shared sec- retary. Plans call for an additional spokesperson position (assis- taht to the superintendent), additional newsletters, e-mail correspondence and an over- haul of the district's Web site. 'Cost neutral' No deadline was given as to when Norris' new cabinet will be in place. The 11-member cabinet will include a chief human resource officer, chief f of ele- mentary schools, chief of middle schools, chief of high schools, chief information officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, assis- tant to the superintendent, assistant superintendent for NeXt Generation Learning and deputy superintendent. Along with the new job title and some additional duties comes a $5,000 raise. Norris called the reorgani- zation cost neutral, but that could change depending on whether the school board approves additional adminis- trative positions on Norris' wish list. The basic plan calls for eliminating eight administra- tive positions and adding 10.5 different positions at no extra cost. "In the event the school board decides to add a few positions to the district, we are simply making, up for the severe budget cuts to admin- istration in previous years," Norris added. "By the time it all shakes out I believe it will be cost neutral." The plan eliminates an associate superintendent po- sition for business services, three executive director posi- tions within the department, two accountants and two support staff. It also calls for a new posi- tion, assistant director of fis- cal services, albeit at a lower pay scale, to help offset some of the duties previously as- sumed by the associate su- perintendent of business. The Telecom department was moved within Facilities and Construction Services, eliminating several support positions. Charter schools will, for the first time, have a position de- voted solely to its operations, as will school athletics and physical education. A mentor coordinator position is also in the works. Other positions will be al- located from the capital out- lay fund (director of long- ange planning, planning ana- lyst and clerk) or by federal FEMA reimbursement (crisis management liaison and transportation liaison with Sarasota County Emergency Operations). Total budget impact for the basic reorganization 'pla- l is hard to gauge, but district officials insist it will be mar- ginal. It could save the district as much as $104,588 or cost as much as $115,298, de- pending on when positions are filled, and when those currently holding some of the existing positions leave. Norris also included a top- , second-, and third-priority list of administrative posi- tions that he said would greatly enhance district oper- ations. Total cost of the prior- ity positions was roughly $750,000. The board will con- sider those positions at a future date. Reforms revisited , But it was high school re- form that drew the most at- tention on Tuesday. The excitement was palpable when Norris introduced the president of GMS Partners, Inc., its new high school ini- tiatives consultant. The announcement sig- naled the end of a relation- ship with its previous consul- tant, the Institute for Reform and Research in Education. IRRE researchers faced resistance in their effort to help implement small learn- ing communities, block scheduling and other re- forms. Norris said GMS Partners approach is significantly dif- ferent from that of IRRE. "The one-size-fits-all ap- proach was probably not good for Sarasota County," Norris said. "We probably didn't do a good job communicating the need for change. The ap- proach we bring to you today brings in committee struc- tures. That's not to say we are not going' to make the changes, but to get the input we need," he said. GMS Partners president and founder Grace Sammon said her organization believes in a process that builds inter- nal capacity and creates a cul- ture focused not on reform but a commitment to contin- uous improvement. Sammon said she plans on including the most successful high school programs already in place within small learning communities. Others pro- grams will likely be decided at the district level based on guidelines by Florida De- partment of Education career cluster research.

And not everyone realizes what addicts are putting into their bodies when they shoot up with a drug produced in backyard labs every day. There are some things you just would not ever consider putting into your system. Yet, meth users do it every time they get high. Imagine putting brake fluid, iodine, drain cleaner, lithium, muriatic acid or engine starter fluid in your veins. As unappealing as that idea is, when mixed with common cold medicines and refined in amateur labs that can be set up in a bathroom, those ingredi- ents make up one of the most addictive drugs we can imagine. Glenn Dutton of the Drug Enforcement Agency was one of the speakers at a regional meeting on the subject last week. Their mes- sage was simple: The production of meth is increasing and the people who use it are com- mitting themselves to a miserable existence. Dutton said that while Florida cannot compare with states like Missouri and Geor- gia in the production and use of meth, it is still a serious problem here. He said most meth labs are found in rural areas and point- ed to DeSoto County as one source of the drug in Southwest Florida. A meth-lab oper- ation was recently broken up in the Laurel Road area here. Meth users are a different breed rivaled only by those addicted to crack. Not only do their cravings for the drug exceed reason, but the affect on their health and mental capaci- ty is telling. Many meth users become extremely para- noid. They avoid light, are easily agitated and lose all sense of time. Dutton said that, while staking out a possible meth-lab location, he saw the owner mowing his lawn at 2 a.m., in pitch darkness. In addition to risking the obvious dangers . to their health, meth users are ticking time bombs. It is typical for them to have diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis. Their need for the drug leads to retail theft, child endanger- ment, environmental damage and burglaries that can plague neighborhoods. Besides the addictive powers of the drug, it is popular because it can be produce so cheaply. According to Dutton, a goodshop- lifter can steal everything he needs to make meth and turn a 100 percent profit on the drug charging up to $800 an ounce. So what is our point? We all know drugs are bad and that they are a devastating chal- lenge to society. Ourpointis to be aware ofpossible methlabs - which can be very toxic. If you see someone in a rural area who regularly bums materials in the backyard; ifyou detect an ether-like odor; if you notice someone with alot of propane tanks - especially with blue-tinted valves or chemicals, be suspicious. Call the police or call the DEA at (813) 287-5195 or 781-4777. County: It's our option of last resort JOHN THAXTON (GUF5T 0 lMINIS The board of county com- missioners will hold a public hearing Thursday at the Robert L. Anderson Building in Venice to invite input from citizens on a proposed char- ter amendment that would retain the county's present comprehensive plan rural land use on designated rural lands annexed by municipali- ties. Several questions have been asked by citizens, city officials and editorial boards about the proposed charter amendment. They are excel- lent questions that deserve straightforward answers. Why did the county com- missioners surprise city offi- dais with this proposal with- out trying to talk it through first? The preferred way for governments to talk about planning coordination is through joint planning agree- ments. JPAs codify where and when development is to take place, and which government is responsible for building what infrastructure. After six years of talking, no agree- ments have been reached. However, while we were talking, the cities annexed more than 21,000 acres of rural land and have changed or will change the county's rural land use designed to protect agriculture, open space and environmentally sensitive areas, to a city land use designed to accommo- date subdivisions and malls. The county was not asked to participate in these decisions. The county had kept these lands rural because there was not, and still is not, funding available to build needed infrastructure such as roads, parks, schools, libraries and jails to serve the additional development. Some of these lands also are environmental- ly sensitive and not suitable for more intense develop- ment. Unwilling to wait, or to develop under the county's more stringent standards, anxious developers peti- tioned the cities for annexa- tion with less environmental protection and for the prom- ise of greater densities sooner. The county (which in- cludes the cities) already is burdened with huge infra- structure deficits without the additional impacts from the 65,000 more people who could move into these recent- ly annexed areas. 'T he county 'nowils uiig ,the 4aslt and, onlytlegairmeans available to require a finan- cially feasible infrastructure plan that would meet the needs created by recently annexed municipal develop- ment. Without such a plan, the burden to pay for these unfunded infrastructure needs will fall on all county taxpayers. It is not unreason- able to ask them to consider a rule that requires intergov- ernmental coordination. Is there is an imminent threat of massive annexa- tions tiat warranted a quick vote? The threat of imminent annexation is riot the issue. The proposal does not pro- hibit annexations at all. It is solely intended to require coordinating municipal com- prehensive plan changes on annexed rural lands with the county's ability to pay'for the additional infrastructure needed by the annexation. Yes, there is imminent threat of additional massive land use changes that will destroy environmentally sen- sitive areas and exacerbate infrastructure deficits. Would the proposed char- ter amendment interfere with the cities' vision plans and growth management strategies? It depends. If the cities' vision plans include adversely affecting county infrastruc- ture and the ability of county taxpayers to pay for it, then -"yes," the proposal would interfere with that vision. If the cities' growth man- agement policies include sprawling subdivisions and malls into the rural and envi- ronmentally sensitive areas of the county, then "yes," the proposal would interfere with the cities' "growth manage- ment" plans. If, on the other hand, cities are coordinating with the county on a financially feasi- ble infrastructure plan, pre- serving environmentally sen- sitive areas and containing urban sprawl, then "no," the proposed charter amend- ment would not interfere with their vision or growth management plans of the Please see THAXTON, 7A LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Guns have no place in play Editor: I read with dismay your feature article, Splat! you're dead. With all the news of terrorism and the continued killing of peo- ple abroad, it is disheartening to think that our neighborhood paper is advocating that a game such as paintball is something that our "families and serious players" would enjoy. "Paintball is a sport that gets you close to combat," you say. Why would a family have any desire to "get close to combat?" Hopefully, none of my children, grandchildren or great-grand- children will ever experience combat ds we know it today. Are we not giving a double message to our young people? "Pray for peace; now how about a game of paintball?" To point a gun, whether a real gun or play gun, is not my idea of teach- ing peace. "The game teaches you to respect what you are doing," was another quote from someone who obviously plays this game with his children on a regular basis. Are we teaching our chil- dren to respect the command "Shoot or be shot?" I'm sure many readers read your article. Hopefully, they, too, will have recognized the impact that playing such a game on a regular basis can have on the behavior of our young people. Is shooting someone, whether done under playful or more serious conditions, something we want to condone for our children? Is this the kind of quality time we want to spend with our children?

Their dead- ly plot began in December of 1998 while the Clintons were busy building a wall to pre- vent the CIA and FBI from sharing intelligence informa- tion. This self-serving pair fear- ed bad poll numbers more than the terrorists, so decided they to take their changes with our security. Bin Laden miscalculated with the new president. In office only seven months, George Bush decided this horror would never happen again. He has put this coun- try's security at the top of his agenda and there have been no attacks in five years. With their recent successes in liberal courts, Democrats are trying to dismantle our in- telligence capabilities as they did in the '80s. To the writer who absurdly believes Bush uses the terror threat as a scare tactic, ask those who survived attacks in London, Madrid, Jerusalem, Bali, Luxor, Manila, Tokyo, Paris, Athens, Moscow, New Delhi and countless other cities who did this to them.

Ander- son Administration Center in Venice, the Sarasota County Board of County Commis- sioners will hold a public hearing on whether to place a proposed amendment to the county charter on the ballot providing for county pre- emption over municipal land use designations, outside the Urban Service Area. Let the people decide. Undoubtedly, those op- posing the charter amend- ment may try almost any- thing to keep this important issue off the ballot. Why? Because if this makes it to the ballot, the people will decide. Why would Venice city offi- cials state, "This year Venice has annexed a total of 10 acres," when, in fact, Venice adopted ordinances annex- ing more than 200 acres since January 2006 and has active annexation petitions for more than 800 additional acres? Why would Venice city offi- cials acknowledge that Venice is negotiating with property owners to annex additional land for which annexation petitions have not been filed, but then state that informa- tion on such annexation negotiations is not available for public inspection until after the filing of an annexa- tion petition? Who knows how much land is being plan- ned for annexation beyond public view? Up to 13,000 dwelling units at inner-urban densities among the highest in the county (as high as 13 and 18 units per acre) could be ap- proved for the more than 1,000 acres annexed into Venice already this year or under active consideration by Venice for annexation this year. At 2.3 adults per house- hold, this year's annexations alone could eventually in- crease the population and number of eligible voters in Venice by more than 150 per- cent. Is this about increasing the tax base of Venice or is it real- ly about shifting the balance of political power away from the citizens of Venice? What will Venice island become in light of these new political realities? What would John Nolen have thought about the plans for the "new Venice"? I think he might have said "What plan?" Why were the members of Venice City Council appar- ently surprised when they learned from their own plan- ning staff for the first time that more than 9,000 homes were planned for the new "North Venice"? Does anyone have "the big picture"? Is there a master plan for the Venice area? The future land use plans of both Venice and Sarasota County con- tained in the Venice Compre- hensive Plan and the Sarasota County Comprehensive Plan showed that the 4,227 acres annexed byVenice since 2000 were to be mostly rural or semi-rural lands and major employment centers prior to their annexation. What is the plan for the Venice area? Certainly the people of Venice and Sarasota County do not know what it is. How could they? That, of course, is the problem. The proposed charter amendment is not about an- nexations per se, it is about planning. Sarasota County is propos- ing to assert control over the planning process outside the Urban Service Area because the county has been asking Venice and North Port for years without result to coordi- nate their planning with the county. The Sarasota County Comprehensive Plan has become meaningless in the vicinity of Venice. The result: an entirely new "Venice" that may eventually have a popu- lation more than three times the size of Venice just a few years ago. This is not about whether the Venice area will grow but about how it will grow. Demand a plan for this growth. The proposed charter amendment is a first step. The Sarasota County com- missioners want to know how you feel about all this; hence, the reason they are consider- ing putting the proposed charter amendment on the ballot. Come to Thursday's public hearing and let them know your views concerning the pro- posed charter amendment. If you are not able to at- tend this hearing, send an e- mail to the county commis- sioners at: Shannon Staub, sstaub@scgov.net; Nora Pat- terson, npatters@scgov.net; Jon Thaxton, jthaxton@scgoy .net; Paul Mercier, mercier@ scgov.net; David Mills: dmills @scgov.net.

The old 'two birds, one stone' trick "Volunteers." Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the bor- der, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq no point in our boys dying. Tell him if he wants to come to America, then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved. Pass over.

Just two days later, the giant's special exception petition to the county was withdrawn. BY JACK GURNEY PELICAN PRESS A $13 million Wal-Mart gamble to buy 31 acres of Fruitville Road frontage near 1-75 hasn't paid off. Op- position from merchants and neighbors recently forced a community meeting to ad- journ prematurely and cor- porate representatives to leave empty-handed. On Aug. 17, two days after the aborted meeting, Wal- Mart attorney Brenda L. Pat- ten notified Sarasota County it was withdrawing a special exception petition that would have allowed construction of a 220,000-square-foot "super- center" building on the prop- erty. The Pelican Press unsuc- cessfully attempted to reach Patten by telephone for com- . ment. A recording indicated her message box was full and couldn't accept any more calls. Her one-page with- drawal letter to a senior coun- ty planner didn't offer an explanation. In 2005, shortly after the county commission voted 3-2 against a similar develop- merit plan at the site, Wal- Mart paid $13 million for the vacant parcel just east of the Sarasota Crossings shopping center with an expectation it would eventually be allowed to build. The latest setback doesn't mean Wal-Mart won't try again, but the unexpected opposition it ran into from area residents and business owners who vowed to orga- nize for a future fight virtually guarantees it will be an uphill battle when that time comes. "After the meeting, a lady from one of the national orga- nizations that opposes Wal- Mart told me we'd made his- tory," said John Krotec, who owns the nearby Environeers outdoor accessories store. "It was scheduled for 1-1/2 hours and lasted 40 minutes." Losing character The meeting to demon- strate public support for Wal- Mart was required by the county as part of its petition process for a special excep- tion. Rather than a handful of curious neighbors, it attract- ed a beehive of opponents who put corporate represen- tatives on the defensive. "We did research about what happens when 24-hour big businesses come into quiet neighborhoods," Krotec said. "I walked around neigh- borhoods and explained to people what we'd learned. It surprised me when about 80 showed up and expressed serious opposition." What they opposed was a Wal-Mart Supercenter with a grocery store that would threaten long-established Pub- lix and Winn-Dixie supermar- kets located close by, and cre- ate severe congestion along a traffic corridor that is consid- ered one of the gateways into downtown Sarasota. "There were a half dozen neighborhood association presidents there along with Sarasota Crossings owner Max Pujanic," Krotec said. "What they talked about was a community losing its char- acter to big businesses that make promises, but don't keep them." Twenty in 38 The unflattering descrip- tion of Wal-Mart and other large retailers is not uncom- mon. Groups around the country have formed to op- pose their social, economic and environmental practices, and their reputation for dri- ving small retailers out of business. One of the groups is Wal- Mart Reform Now, which is a self-described coalition of individuals, community orga- nizations, labor unions, neighborhood associations, immigrant alliances, civil rights groups, women's orga- nizations, environmental groups and consumer groups based in Orlando and Tampa. What the groups universal- ly oppose is Wal-Mart becom- ing a one-stop shopping des- tination where people buy clothes, food and services at discount prices, and where employees are only paid at or near the minimum wage with inadequate health insurance benefits. Wal-Mart has succeeded in establishing more than 20 of its stores within a 38-mile radius of Fruitville Road and' 1-75, including the city of Sarasota's recent decision to approve a new supercenter on North Washington Boul- evard (U.S. 301) on property that used to be a landfill. The decision to try to build another was based on two unsuccessful bids to expand a Cattleman Road outlet onto adjacent property. The plan for a 108,000-square-foot ad- dition onto the existing 122,000-square-foot building was initially rejected by the county commission in 2000. The project was strongly opposed by neighbors who insisted Cattleman Road traf- fic was dangerously congest- ed, and the addition would threaten the safety of resi- dents in the event of an emer- gency. Traffic experts testified it would bring another 8,000 cars to the area each day.

Tamiami Trail I A M N STAFF REPORT And you thought the old Intoxilyzer 5000 breathalyzer used in Sarasota County was a problem child. That's because you proba- bly have not heard about its updated sibling, the Intox- ilyzer 8000. "The problems with the new machine are calibration and software, same as the old," Venice attorney Robert Harrison said. "They have been modifying the machines without recalibrating them." Law enforcement agencies started using the 8000 March 27. Harrison said there is a court hearing scheduled for AT YO L OISURE- C__ff OUT Sept. 29 before a three-judge panel dealing with calibration of the old machine. "There have been many times the machine has been reported out of calibration," Harrison said, "and still they keep using it." The legal challenge of breathalyzer results has been going on for more than three years. The thrust of the legal argument by DUI defendants is that unless the machine is properly and meticulously maintained, the results of breathalyzer tests are unreli- able. More than 250 DUI cases are on hold pending the out- come of the litigation. STAFF REPORT If you are planning on drinking and driving this Friday and Saturday, the Venice police want you. The Venice Police Depart- ment will be conducting DUI patrols on the city's east side Sept. 15-16. The patrols are part ofVPD's ongoing participation in the "Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest," campaign. The sustained enforce- ment program is sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation Safety Office in 17 counties that accounted for 75 percent of all alcohol- related crashes in the state. The goal of the campaign is to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes, fatal- ities and injuries that occur by conducting high-visibility DUI enforcement. It is hoped the effort' will increase public awareness of the drunk-driving problem. ~viq * Crown Molding No job too small!

A packed gym. The pressure cooker. High anxiety. The only problem was, there was first a home match Tuesday night against South- east, which came to the Teepee with an overall rec- ord of 1-5 and a district mark of 0-3. The Lady Indians coughed, sputtered, and wheezed for awhile. That can happen when you start three fresh- men. The end result was famil-, iar, however, as Venice im- proved to 8-0 and 5-0 in the district with a 25-20, 25-15, 25-12 victory. "The first game I was disappointed," Wheatley said. "We had the younger kids in there and we were out of synch for awhile. We weren't playing Venice vol- leyball." By the third game, the freshmen and other under- classmen not used to getting a lot of playing time settled down and looked more con- fident. Freshman setter Taylor Capasso calmed down and dished 19 assists. Outside Jillian Allen and Dorothy Rahal contributed some big kills. Stepping up the biggest was junior Amanda Garofalo, who usually plays behind all- state Natalie Gaudreau. Garofalo settled in and be- came a leader with her eight kills and four aces. During a stretch in game two, she served up eight straight points, turning a 12-11 deficit into an 18-12 lead. Ashley Graf had four kills during the run. The Venice junior varsity improved to 13-0 with 25-7, 25-12 wins over Southeast. Middle hitters Lauren Archer and Breeanna Hafeli had 10 kills between them. On Mon- day night, the JVs defeated Sarasota 25-19, 25-13, behind the defensive play of Maura Szerbin. Varsity match time Thursday in Punta Gorda is 7 p.m. The next home match is Monday against Bayshore. On Wednesday, Sept. 20, St. Thomas Aquinas visits the Teepee in a 5 p.m. match.

Carpenter builds new career BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR It didn't take Josh Carpen- ter long to make his presence felt at the collegiate level. Carpenter, who graduated from Venice High in May, started the Northern State (S.D.) Wolves' ,season opener Sept. 2 against Augustana College. He didn't start in last Saturday's game against Dickinson State, but he still saw plenty of action at de- fensive line in the Wolves 27- 21 victory. He had one solo tackle and assisted on two others against Dickinson. Carpenter wears No. 56 and is listed at 6-1, 265 pounds. Another 2006 VHS grad - Michael Danski is also on the Northern State roster. The defensive lineman has yet to see any action. Northern State is a NCAA Division II school located in Aberdeen. The Wolves play in the Northern Sun Inter- collegiate Conference. NSU travels to Concordia- St. Paul this Saturday. * * Kyle Poinsett is a freshman offensive tackle at ,Colgate University. He did not see any action in the Raiders' 28-7 season-opening loss to UMass. Poinsett is third on the depth chart. Poinsett is listed at 6-3, 290 pounds. Colgate is home to Dart- mouth this Saturday. * * Carpenter Three former Venice High football standouts are playing at Maryville College in Ten- nessee. Maryville is 1-1 after drop- ping a 17-14 decision to Centre. Russ Harris, a sophomore defensive end, started and responded with one solo tackle and he assisted on another. Also on the Maryville rost- er are Garrett Meyer and Jim LaPinska, both juniors. Mey- er is in the cornerback rota- tion and also on the punt return team. LaPinska is a wing back who also plays on kickoffs. Maryville, a NCAA Divi- sion III school, plays in USA South. This week Maryville travels to Greensboro, N.C. Both Mark Cristiani and Dusty Bear had active games in the Battle of the Bluegrass last Saturday. Both are defensive line- men Cristiani for Eastern Kentucky and Bear for West- ern Kentucky. East beat West, 26-21. East (1-1) is currently ranked 19th in NCAA 1-AA. Cristiani assisted on six tackles and was also in on a sack. Bear had three solo tackles and three assisted. Eastern Kentucky plays Western Carolina this Saturday. Western Kentucky (0-2) is home to Chattanooga. * * Tre Smith caught his first pass of the season for Au- burn in the Tigers' 34-0 vic- tory over Mississippi State Saturday. Smith rushed once for a two-yard loss. Auburn, 2-0 and ranked No. 3, plays No. 6 LSU (2-0) this Saturday. * * Receiver Gerald Tate didn't get to see any action against Florida State, but he is, hop- ing to get in this Saturday at Georgia Tech. The Trojans just missed on an upset of the ninth-ranked Seminoles, falling 24-17. It was a short week of practice and Tate missed a day to see his new- born baby girl. Tight end Brad Allen start- ed and saw a lot of snaps for Vanderbilt in its game against Alabama. The Com- modores hung tough before losing at Alabama, 13-10. Vandy (0-2) plays at home against Arkansas. BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR It's second season time for. high school football teams in Florida. District play begins. No matter how bad or good a start a team might have,, everybody's 0-0 heading into Friday. And the only way. to get into the post season playoffs is to finish first or second in district play. Venice is 0-3 all, three. non-district but not all has been lost. The Indians have been playing a very tough schedule in preparation of Class 5A District 11. The loss- es were to ranked squads -- Lakeland, Riverview and Miami Pace. Th6 district opener is a very interesting matchup at Charlotte. The Tarpons are 2-1, losing to a pretty good team in its own right in Im- mokalee. This year's Charlotte bunch is big and balanced between the hard running of Kyle Provencal and the passing of Matt Kautz. Provencal had more than 100 yards last Friday against Immokalee. Kautz has thrown for more than 400 yards this season. Venice showed signs of life last Friday in a tough loss to Pace. The Indian coaches are hoping the team rises up and peaks this week the first of the second season. Venice's other district games are Sept; 29 against Manatee, Oct. 13 at Port Charlotte and Oct. 20 against Lakewood Ranch. * * Booker 1-2, Manatee 7 Hardee 44, Port Charlotte 0 Lakewood Ranch 33, Bayshore 27 Irinnokalee 20, Charlotte 0' .

I WWW.VENICEGONDOLIER.COM WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 2006 Hermitage Beach Cottage to be preserved BY RYAN BOYD STAFF WRITER Diana Harris knows all the history behind Manasota Key's Hermitage building and its Beach Cottage. At one point in the early 1900s, the oceanfront proper- ty served as a farm; during another period, it was a quaint restaurant. The wood-sided Beach Cottage played the role of artist retreat for several artists during the early 20th century. Now, the Beach Cottage is a brittle shack with a beautiful oceanic view. "So much. of Florida's his- tory has been destroyed, because most of the buildings were built with wood," said Harris, an Englewood histori- an, "and if the termites and the bugs haven't destroyed them, the storms have." The nonprofit Hermitage Artist Retreat at 6650 Mana- sota Key Road has raised $240,000 to refurbish the cot- tage, according to Bruce Rodgers, executive director of the organization. I Rodgers said the organiza- tion's plan is to restore the building to its original state, so it can better serve artists that visit the retreat. "We will serve the artists that we bring here with a bet- ter facility," Rodgers said. "The better we serve the artists, the better the artists can serve the community." Historical presence Rodgers said the project has been approved by Flor- ida's Historic Preservation Board. Sarasota County is currently reviewing the pro- ject before permits can be approved. "Our hope is construction will begin by the end of November or beginning of December," Rodgers said. After the restoration, the Beach Cottage will have three rooms. The southern-most room will be a'room tor painters. The middle room will be used as an administra- tion office, and the northern room will be a digital studio for artists working in digital media, Rodgers said. The refurbishment of the Beach Cottage will bring an added historical presence to the already preserved beach. "This is preserving a piece of Old Florida," Rodgers said of the building that was once used as a motel, a guest cot- tage and even anudist colony. "That alone brings historic value tothe community, and our children will have a bit of historic history preserved." You can e-mail Ryan Boyd at: rboyd@sun-herald.com. "-.

And since there are lots of Venetians in my age range, plenty of them have been heading back to good old Camp Grenada to see what the old gang is up to after all these years. They are gathering in the Venice Little Theatre's Pinkerton Theatre. The show is running Tuesday-Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m. through Sept. 17. Tickets are $22 per person. Named for Sherman's orig- inal parody letter from "Camp Granada," "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh!" follows the protagonist Barry Bockman, from his childhood days at camp right through his life - with absurdist and hysterical lyrics accompanying every phase of growing up and growing old. Here are a few lines, just in case you could possibly have forgotten the song. "Camp is very entertain- ing, And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining. I wen-tfiking with Joe Spivey; he developed poison ivy. You remember Leonard Skinner? He got ptomaine poison- ing last night after dinner. All the counselors hate the waiters and the lake has alli- gators..." (Who knew that Camp Granada was in Florida? Certainly not this Ohio kid, Oh well!) 'And the head coach wants no sissies, So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses.'. Now I don't want this should scare ya, but my bunk- mate has malaria. You remember Jeffrey Hardy? They're about to organize a searching party." If you want to learn more, head for the box office to see if you can still get a ticket. There are just four days left to be a kid again. And then you have to get back to acting your age - as if any of you ever did! Presented as a cabaret pro- duction at VLT, the show is being directed by Ellie Pattison, herself a very famil- iar local musical comedy actress. Musical director is Michelle Kasanofsky and Stage Manager is Sue Brennan. Onstage are Laurie Colton-Farrar, Cara Herman, Damian Stone, Scott Vitale and Nidal Zarour. "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh!" received four Drama Desk Nominations, and the Outer Critics' Circle Nomination for Outstanding Off-Broadway musical in 1992. The theater is at 140 W.

BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFF WRITER When her mother passed away recently, a Venice resi- dent was left with a special box that stood out from the other items she inherited. Within the simple contain- er were postcards and bro- chures of the 1939-40 World Fair in New York, which was held on the site of today's Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, also the location of the 1964 New York World's Fair. These paper treasures be- longed originally to her father Dominic Miliano who died in the early 1950s. Her mother had saved the box since then. "My mother kept his sou- venirs of the fair tucked safely in a box," the daughter said. "She knew my father was fas- cinated by the World's Fair and interested in the future." The 1940 World Fair, like most world fairs and exposi- tions, was a showcase of the modern technology of its day. The Trylon (a tower) and the Perisphere were the fair's cen- tral structures. The Peri- sphere, designed by archi- tects Wallace Harrison and J. Andre Foulihous, was nearly replicated at the 1964/65 World's Fair, which used the Unisphere as its signature construction. Some 10 years, later, Disney engineers creat- ed Spaceship Earth at Epcot in Walt Disney World. Epcot has been compared to a world's fair, especially in its international showcase area. The concept of the inter- national showcase dates to. the mid-19th century. One of the most famous was the Columbia Exposition, the Chicago" World's Fair in 1893. The most recent was one held in Japan in 2005. Few have attracted the number of visi- tors that visited that 1940 event in NewYork. People today take modern technology for granted but in 1940, things like super high- ways, glasses that bend, and sky scrapers were considered futuristic, the daughterlsaid. What was there An index of the 1940 fair included exhibits by America Radiation, AT&T, Armerican Tobacco, Beech Nut, .Borden Dairy, Boy Scouts of America, Du Pont, Eastman, Ford and Lincoln Mercury, Kodak, Electric Utilities, EIquitable Life, Firestone, General Electric, General Motors, Goodrich, Heinz, Schaefer, Schlitz, and Swift. The list of participating countries was just as inclusive: Canada, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Morocco, Palestine, Peru, Po- land, Rumania, Swedish American Pavilion, Switz- erland, and Turkey. Within months of the fair's end, many of those countries were involved in something totally different -WorldWar II. Among the brochures in the box were several from companies like Heinz, that boasted of producing "aristo- crat" tomatoes that grow more than seven feet tall. 'With no competition from foreign imports, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler had massive displays of new cars and trucks. Ford's exposi- tion building had landscap- ing and gardens covering almost seven acres. GM built a futuristic city that featured 60 GM motorcars, trucks and buses. Moving sound chairs traveled on a carry-go-round extending for a third of a mile in and about the building, which had a three-level main entrance. Many amusement park rides began as world fair exhibits. The moving chair concept has been used in such modern day attractions as the Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Also in the GM build- ing was a 4,000-horsepower streamlined diesel locomo- tive. Hammond introduced its latest electric organ and a Novacord n a special orches- tra hall. -. At the General Electric pavilion, engineers showed the power of 10,000,000 volts of electricity in the exhibition hall. They harnessed thunder bolts that ended with a spec- tacular fireworks display of awe-inspiring beauty. GE warned those feint of heart or afraid of lightening that they should not participate. The most amazing exhibit in the GE pavilion was a television display in which fairgoers could view themselves on the black and white screen. This was the radio era and televi- sion was a new invention, worthy of a futuristic display. GE's all-electric kitchen of the future, designed for the housewife of tomorrow, fea- tured an array of appliances, including the introduction of the garbage disposal as an electric sink. Also introduced were a flat plate ironer and high vacuum tube radios. More than 25 million visi- tors came to see "The World of Tomorrow." Some 200,000 were there on day one, April 30, 1939. Souvenir map Showcasing the layout of the entire fair ground was a souvenir map that noted the location of country and com- pany displays and also pin- pointed the location of the first full-sized transparent car ever made in America. "Futurama," took visitors on a magic flight through time and space in the future - 1960. There was more magic in the display of microscopic life "revealed before your eyes." Perhaps as a harbinger of the war that was about to escalate, a gas mask was dis- played. Because of the out- break of the war in Europe, the Polish and Czech- oslovakian pavilions did not reopen for the 1940 season. One item shown at the fair, a copy of Magna Carta on loan from Lincoln Cathedral in Great Britain, stayed in the United States after the fair because of the outbreak of the war. The priceless docu- ment was stored at Fort Knox. The Venice resident who found these treasures did not want to be identified, but she did want to share the collec- tion with others who might have been to the fair or heard about the fair from their par- ents or grandparents. "It was sad that my father died in the early 1950s and never got to experience the world as it evolved today," she said. You can reach Susan Cairo by e-mail at scairo@venice- gondollier.com. Futurama was the theme for the General Motors exhibit, which featured a traveling sound chair that glided passengers into the then-future world of 1960. ea COFFEE 2B VENICE GONDOLIER SUN WWW.VENICEGONDOLIER.COM WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13,2006 Adopt-a-pet PHOTO COURTESY OF ST.

BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFF WRITER The fifth-grade students that make up the safety patrol at Garden Elementary take their job seriously. "My job is to help students get into the car and buckle up properly," said Taylor Finster. He and Ezechiel Manther wave parents into a pick-up spot, and then wait until the car door is closed. "As they leave, we tell them to have a nice day," said Finster. Chelsea Klotzbier, another safety patrol student, directs children to their bus. "Basically I make sure they get on the proper bus," she said. "It's very organized." Principal John McQueen said Garden Elementary is a very safe school, and he wants to keep it that way. What they do Students who make up the safety patrols pay special attention to their fellow stu- dents. They are not in the street directing traffic, but rather guide the children safely to their transportation. Members have to com- plete training in traffic safety so they can protect others from hazards in crossing roads and highways. Generally they prevent the student from venturing into areas of incoming traffic on the way to and from school. Another important func- tion is to assist bus drivers and guide students into the buses. The program is sponsored byAAA. Tips for walking or biking to school Walk with a friend. Pay attention to all traffic signals and crossing 'guards. Never cross the street against a stop light. Cross only at crosswalks, and never run into the street from between parked cars. Look left, right and over your shoulder for traffic before crossing a street, and continue to check each direc- tion. . Make sure drivers see you by making eye contact with them. If riding a bicycle, scdoter or skateboard to school, always wear a helmet and ride in the same direction as traffic. Walk your bike if cross- ing a street. Tips for bus riders Do not play in the street while waiting for the bus. Line up facing the bus, not along side it.' After getting off the bus, move out of traffic. Wait for the bus driver to signal you to cross the street. Walk away from the front,of the bus so the driver can see you. Tips for parents and -drivers Morgan Meadows, a fifth-grade student at Garden Elementary, directs parents picking up students. Everyone should wear a seat belt, and children should be in age- and size-appropri- ate car seats. Stay focused on driving and don't be distracted by kids in the car or with other activities. Slow down in school zones driving just 5 mph over the speed limit increases both the risk of hitting a child and the 'severity of any injuries. You never know if chil- dren crossing the street are paying attention, so remain stopped until the child has crossed not only your lane of traffic, but the adjacent lane as well. Never pass a vehicle that has stopped at a crosswalk, as it may be waiting for some- one to cross. Do not pass a school bus when its red lights are flash- ing, even if it is on the other side of the street. Use extra care in areas where children may enter the road from between parked vehicles or other things that block drivers' view of the road. Also watch out for bicycles.

UR VEItJICF (C U NfUVlOFR 1n W WVEIEGNOLE.M WENSDY .SP. 13,-00 Dave's in a sorry state - ama u .fr' DAVE BARRY HUMOR COLUMNIST This classic Dave Barry column was originally published Aug. 1, 1999. Most Americans are piti- fully ignorant of geography. This was clearly demonstrat- ed recently when the Gallup Organization sent its pollsters to Chicago to ask randomly selected residents if they could name at least three of the six major continents. The results were shocking: Most of the pollsters never found Chicago at all; of those who did, all but one fell into the Chicago River. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident of American geographical igno- rance. Just last month, the major U.S. airlines, investi- gating an increase in the number of delayed flights, discovered that many of their pilots cannot read maps and are finding their destination cities by, in the words of an airline spokesperson, "flying real low and following buses." What is the cause of this disgraceful lack of knowl- edge? I blame the same insti- tution that is responsible for crime, sex, godlessness and millions of square miles of badly drawn refrigerator art: our school system. I studied geography in the fifth grade, and I remember that instead of just TELLING us where things were, the teacher insisted that we make relief maps of the United States by mixing flour and water into a paste and smearing it on a shirt cardboard so as to form important geographical fea- tures such as the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, Disneyland, etc. Evidently I put too much water in my paste, because my United States was a featureless amoeba-like blob, with whole population centers such as New England oozing com- pletely off the cardboard and forming new, uncharted terri- tories on the floor. As a direct result, I grew up, like most Americans, with a poor grasp of geography. That is why, in a recent column about nude TV weather fore- casts in the Czech Republic, I made the following statement, which turns out to be incorrect "Until 1993, the Czech Republic was connected with Slovakia; together they went by the name 'Hungary."' This is simply not true, as was pointed out to me by many informed readers. Some of these people were quite upset, as we see from these quotes from their let- ters, which I am not making up: -"Clearly, your knowl- edge of historical facts is a clear example that the dumb- ing down of America has suc- ceeded." -"It is disgusting to find out that you columnists know so little. You probably do not know where Vietnam or Indonesia is located. It is not uncommon that the American children do not even know or care where Mexico is situated. And your adults are not better. Thank God, I received my education in Europe." -"The column's credibili- ty was tainted by the gaff." -"How in the world did this get through the editors?" In response, let me first state that, in the famous words of Thomas Jefferson, "The buck stops here." If there is a gaff tainting my col- umn, I take.full responsibility for it. It is NOT the fault of the editors; I'm sure they never saw it. Modern newspaper editors don't have time to read the newspaper; they spend their days in lengthy "brainstorming" sessions with other editors wherein they try to decide what to do about the Internet. Second, Mr. "I-Was- Educated-In-Europe": I do TOO know where Vietnam (or, as it is sometimes called, "Indonesia") is located: It is located overseas. So there! And speaking of locating things: If the people in Europe are SOOOOOO smart, how come so many of them can't seem to locate the pme w-ow" 6 hamahom ag deodorant, huh?" But there is no need to become petty or defensive. The simple fact is, I "blew it," and I want to set the record straight now: When the Czech Republic and Slovakia were connected, they were called - this now seems SO obvi- ous, when I look at the names "Czech" and "Slovakia" together "The Nether- lands." (Incidentally, this was the original location of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.) I pledge that from now on I will strive for geographical accuracy in my columns. You parents can also help to raise our national "Geography IQ": The next time your kids ask if they can watch TV or play a video game or take their insulin, you should say: "No! Not until you name all six major continents!" (Answer: America, Central America, South America, Latin America, Euthanasia and Shaquille O'Neal.) In closing, I wish to apolo- gize to any readers of Czech descent whom I offended by my error. I also want to thank those who sent nice letters, especially Ed Cerny of Conway, S.C., who wrote to tell me that at one time the motto of the official Czech airline was: "OK and Getting Better." This really makes me want to go there. By bus. Dave Barry is taking a. leave of absence from writing his weekly humor column.

However, recent research shows that stretching helps muscles regain some suppleness, and the longer the stretch, the better. The study compared various stretch durations in healthy people With an average age of 85. One group did no stretching while others stretched for 15, 30, or 60 seconds. It was found that the group that held its stretches for 60 seconds increased flexibility and range of motion by nearly twice as much as the other groups. They also had greater mobility, greater ease in bending over, and less back pain. Thus, assisted stretching is recommended for Seniors. P.S. Chiropractic can help Seniors deal with many age-related conditions, such as arthritis.
