"I'm living quite happily without it," Commission Chairman David Mills said. "Maybe somebody else has a burning desire to see this." Commissioner Paul Mer- cier echoed Mills' sentiments. "This is not my top priori- ty," he said. "It isn't in my top 100." . Word that Manatee County wrill consider allowing its restaurant owners to provide for dogs in outdoor settings sparked an e-mail campaign that prompted Sarasota County officials to consider the issue, and it's not likely to go away anytime soon. Last week, the Sarasota County Commission agreed to seek input from local restaurant association mem- bers about the provisions in a new state law signed by Gov. Jeb Bush that allows a three- year pilot program for dogs in restaurants, if management agrees. State lawmakers will have a chance to drop the program in 2009 if it proves to be a debacle, but the practice of allowing dogs in outdoor restaurants has quietly been tolerated for so long there is a strong chance it could finally become legal. "It's been happening here for years in sidewalk settings," Commissioner Nora Patter- son. "People take their dogs on leashes, and waitresses often bring dishes of water for them without even being asked. All the law says is that we can let the restaurants control this." Please see DOGGIE, 7A Chamber exposure SUN PHOTOS BY JEFFTAVARES, JTAVARES@VENICEGONDOLIER.COM A 10-foot-high fence surrounds the perimeter of all outdoor areas at Venice Elementary School, which opened in 2005. Other schools in the Sarasota County School District will soon begin installation of similar perimeter fencing. Responding to a spate of recent school shootings around the country, Sarasota County schools announce plans to move posthaste with perimeter fencing. BY GREG GILES STAFF WRITER It seems like a no-brainer - install perimeter fencing around schools as a basic safety measure, albeit one that can be unsightly. After all, people with bad intentions are unlikely to report to the principal's office and ask for permission to. enter a school and commit a crime. With sprawling school campuses and too few cam- pus cops, it appears perime- ter fencing may be a neces- sary evil. That, was the gist of a con- versation at Tuesday's school board workshop when Super- intendent Gary Norris an- nounced the district's inten- tion to begin installing per- imeter fences around Sara- sota County schools. "We want to commit to moving as quickly as possi- ble," Norris said. He said the district was responding to the recent spate of school shootings nationwide. Phillippi is the model The district will use Phillippi Shores Elementary as a model. Phillippi's school grounds are completely secured by a perimeter fence, except for the front entrance section of the school. Fences won't totally encir- cle the campus, but will "channel people onto school grounds at one common point," Norris said. Sprawl is the problem Huge high school campus- es like Venice High pose a dif- ferenit problem. For example, should park- ing lots be fenced in. or not? Ideally, yes, say officials, but more for crisis management than crime prevention. "It will be a huge problem at Sarasota High School and places like that," Norris said. "We are not at that point ... that is primarily for control Please see DISTRICT, 7A SUN PHOTOS BY JEFF TAVARES, JTAVARES@VENICEGONDOLIER.COM Exhibitors began setting up Wednesday for the 19th Annual Venice Area Chamber of Commerce Consumer Expo being held at Venice Community Center, 326 Nokomis Ave. The event will be held Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. OUR TOWN I 1B Beer and brats Octoberfest returns to the county fairgrounds.

BY SUSAN CAIRO STAFF WRITER If you are the type that goes out of your way to avoid a black cat, hold onto your rabbit's foot today, because it's Friday the 13th. As irrational as it may seem, triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13, is very real to some people. How the connection between the number 13 and bad fortune came about is hard to determine. According to urbanlegends.com, one explanation is that there were 13 people present at the Last Supper, with Judas the 13th guest to sit at the table. Another explanation, rec- ently brought out in "The Da Vinci Code," was the capture of the Knights Templar. The members of this order of war- rior monks formed during the Christian crusades were arrested on Oct. 13, 1307, by officers of King Philip IV Several thousand of them were charged with heresy, blasphemy and various offenses that were never proven. Many were tortured and burned to death. Popular culture might sug- gest this is the No. 1 supersti- tion in America today. However, only a few locals believe Friday the 13th is an unlucky day for them, any- way. "We don't have a rise in accidents on Friday the 13th, but the phones just go crazy," said Linda Shillinger, a Venice insurance-agency owner. "It's almost like there is a full moon. It's an odd situation, but it happens every Friday the 13th." Bonnie at Eden salon in Venice said there haven't been any hair-raising disas- ters on the 13th. "But you can't forget that Hurricane Charley happened on Friday the 13th," she said. "That accounts for a lot of bad luck." "I hope a black cat crosses the path of the Port Charlotte players Friday," said coach Greg Hitt, "they play against Venice High School tonight." Body shop manager Al Bryant of Venice thinks that people are more prone to accidents on the 13th. "Last year I had one myself on that day," he said, "so I am going to watch my driving on the 13th." "Death takes no holidays," said David Farley of Farley Funeral Home. I don't see any difference on Friday the 13th at all." - George Kalbfleisch of Ew- ing Funeral Home said, "It is all in how you perceive it. If you think there are more acci- dents on the 13th, weird things may happen." 13th floor It has long been known Please see 13TH, 7A OUi ID T"Frmnui CIVTlI ki .INSIDE BUSINESS 10A OPINION 8A LEGALS 14A LOVE BUGS .......................5A LET'EM HAVE IT .................9A POLICE BEAT .................NONE LOTTO 2A SPORTS 12A OBITUARIES ....................NONE WEATHER 2A SUN PHOTO BY SUSAN CAIRO Lloyd Tucker, emergency room director at Venice Regional Medical Center, is ready for any extra admissions due to acci- dents on Friday the 13th.

Their life expectancy is two to three days. Ralph Mitchell, director of the Charlotte County Ex- tension Service, said the bugs are attracted to high tempera- tures, light and vehicle vibra- tions and exhaust fumes. Their numbers have dropped over the years due to predators, Mitchell said. "Plus, I'm pretty sure the cars take out their fair share," he said. While the bugs are attract- ed to the car, it's often their death sentence, which in turn, can lead to a ruined paint job. "If you don't wash them off within 24 to 36 hours, they will ruin the paint," Amodio said. "I had a brand-new Ford Explorer come in that was \just ruined." The remains of the lovebug are very acidic and can cause pits in a vehicle's paint. Amodio recommends having your vehicle washed often, but more important, waxed regularly. "And don't use PAM or baby oil," he said. "The sun bakes the oil into the car and ruins the clear coat." There are products on the market like Bug Block that can help reduce the "sticki- ness" of the bugs. "I especially recommend using that on long road trips," Amodio said.

Retail stores count on Christmas.: Fireworks stores count on the Fourth of July. So it wouldn't be a stretch, to think car washes count on lovebug season. According to Dennis Amodio, owner of Touch of Class Car Wash, it's more of a love-hate relationship. "During the spring, it's slow, so we welcome the additional business," Amodio said. "But now, we are already busy so we don't need the extra hassle." Amodio said the spattered lovebugs can be more of a hindrance than anything. "It takes four times as long to do a car. It backlogs every- thing," he said. "We really don't look forward to it." Those little black bugs have been sighted the past few days in Southwest Florida. The bugs come out twice a year, in May and September, but they are usu- ally more abundant in the spring. May's hatching 3ro- duced swarms of lovebugs that annoyed drivers. But this fall's hatching is expected to be much calmer. Despite an urban legend that suggests that lovebugs are the result of an experi- ment gone bad, lovebugs were introduced to the Gulf Coast from Central America in the 1920s. Since then, --hey have spread along the coast from Texas to South Caro-ina, according to the Universi-y of Florida. Plecia nearctica don't bite or sting, and the only real nui- sance they cause is for drivers and their vehicles. They earned the name "lovebug" because of their mating ritu- als.

Growth is top concern for county residents BY STEVENJ. SMITH STAFF WRITER We're growing much too fast and we'll support an amendment to the county charter to put a halt to it. So said respondents to the .annual survey of ,Sarasota County residents conducted on behalf of the county gov- ernment. The survey was conducted by phone in a ran- dom sampling of 800 county residents 18 years of age and older from July 25 to Aug. 10. The margin of error for the survey was plus or minus 3.5 percent. Results from the survey were presented Wednesday to the county Commission by Susan MacManus of the Department of Government & International Affairs at the University of South Florida. "It's not surprising that growth-related issues contin- ue to be seen as the county's biggest challenge," Mac- Manus said in an e-mail. Residents' growth con- cerns are certainly nothing new. Growth management has been cited as the most impor- taht issue facing the county for the last five years and is not confined to increases in population. Related growth management issues include traffic congestion, road short- ages, overbuilding, water, crime, loss of open space and wetlands, lack of affordable housing, insufficient infra- structure and a coordination of growth plans. Acknowledging its impor- tance, this year's Citizen's Survey included more ques- tions about growth manage- ment issues than in the past. Some 500 residents in the unincorporated area of the county and the cities of Sarasota, North Port and Venice were surveyed by phone from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1. The results showed that 75 percent of the residents believe it is "very important" for the county to have a coor- dinated growth management plan. Fifty-two percent feel that Sarasota County should have the primary responsibil- ity for managing growth, compared to only 25 percent who said the four cities in the county should have that job. Perhaps most significant, 60 percent expressed strong support for an amendment to the county charter that would require the county commis- sion to approve land use changes resulting from annexation of rural areas. Only 21 percent voiced oppo- sition. Most felt "very strongly" in support of an amendment, including 65.5 percent of the people in the unincorporated area, 61.5 percent in Sarasota, 66.3 percent in Venice and 70.3 percent in North Port.

ROGOVIN CORRESPONDENT Sarasota County's success in protecting land from devel- opment with public support continues to catch the atten- tion of environmentalists and land trusts all over the United States. The largest annual gather- ing of land trust executives in North America will learn on Oct. 14 how the county won citizen support of referen- dums in 1999 and 2005 to approve $303 million in bonding authority. The 2006 National Land Conservation Conference in Nashville includes a work- shop on ballot initiatives to acquire local land. It will be conducted by three persons involved in the county cam- paign. Brooke Elias, aVenice res- ident who coordinates the county Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program, Albert Joerger of the Sarasota Conservation Foundation in Osprey and Sue Mullins of the Florida office of The Nature Con- servancy will tell representa- tives of 11,100 land trusts how it was done. The countywide votes were to increase an ad val- orem tax and approve bond- ing authority. The first, in 1999, was for $53 million. In 2005, it was for $250 million. Both votes were overwhelm- ing 67 percent in favor in 1999, 80 percent last November. Despite a real estate boom that often doubled and tripled prices within a 12- month span, the county and The Nature Conservancy, its acquisition agent, negotiated and closed on 45 properties in the program's first six years. All were purchased for less than appraised market value, according to Elias. Strong sentiment Elias and Mullins are expected to report on the campaign strategy in the suc- cessful 2005 referendum. They developed a public message based on opinion polling. It revealed that 98 percent of county residents felt strongly that beaches, rivers and open space must be preserved for their chil- dren and grandchildren. Nin- ety-one percent expressed concern that their quality of life would be diminished if natural areas are lost. Last November's vote extended the lands protec- tion program to 2029. It was expanded to include a paral- lel effort to acquire neighbor-. hood parklands, but with an advisory board apart from the one monitoring einvironmen- tally sensitive lands. Partnerships with the Florida Communities Trust, Southwest Florida Water Management District and other agencies, which matched county funds to acquire land, counted for more than $25 million of their $86 million value of the protected lands since the program was begun, Elias said.

They will explore options for a working partnership at the Fruitville Road fairgrounds site. A deal could include tax dollars for an all-purpose structure that replaces Robarts Arena. BY JACK GURNEY PELICAN PRESS Sarasota County Agri- cultural Fair Association board members are finally going to be offered cash and other substantive considera- tions for their permission to allow a new spring training baseball stadium and hotel at the Fruitville Road fair- grounds site. On Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m., representatives from Sarasota County, the city of Sarasota and the Cincinnati Reds will appear before the fair board and suggest scenarios that could pro- duce a multi- faceted deal but only if many loose ends can be S tied up by year's end. What the fair 1 7 I board needs Staub is a significant public contri- bution possibly in the range of $10 million-to help it finance a replacement for Robarts Arena that would serve as both a community events center and winter quarters for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Such a facility would allow the board to continue pro- ducing annual county fairs, host a variety of other com- munity events and lease the center for the type of enter- tainment and sports shows that provide revenue for annual operating expenses arid maintenance.,,.: .. , In- ieturn, ,local ,.govern-. ment and team officials want high-profile Fruitville Road frontage parcels for both a proposed $54 million stadi- um and a signature hotel that developer John Q. Hammons wants to build on land his company would lease for up to 99 years. Common ground The firm that bears his name currently owns or oper- ates 63 hotels in 22 states, including three in Florida. All the hotels have familiar names, among them Mar- riott, Embassy Suites, Hamp- ton Inn Suites, Hilton, Radisson, Sheraton and Residence Inn. "If we all look hard at this, perhaps we can find commonunt ground," said' County Com- missioner Ley Shannon Staub, who will be among those making the pitch. "I like the idea of a new community arena and the Reds both being there. It would encour- age redevelopment." S Veteran City Commis- sioner Lou Ann Palmer will join Staub at the meeting. "We're willing to look at all sorts of options," she said, "but first we have to see if the fair board is willing to consider a working partnership with the city, the county and the Reds." On Monday, Fair Board President Rory Martin met with city, county and team officials to set the agenda for Tuesday's meeting and dis- cuss whether a deal could be concluded by Dec. 31, acriti- ,.cal deadline set by Florida lawmakers for submission of a new stadium plan. If the community can agree on a stadium site and financing, the state will pro- vide a $15 million grant to help pay the bills as part of its overall commitment to keep spring training baseball in Florida, and to discourage major league teams from relocating in Arizona. Loose ends The city and county have tentatively identified a youth sports complex at the north- east intersection of 12th Street and Tuttle Avenue as a potential stadium site, but would face an expensive obligation to relocate base- ball, football and bicycle facil- ities elsewhere. Aqua Utilities Florida, a subsidiary of Aqua America, owns a 113-acre sprayfield for sewage wastewater at the northwest intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Tuttle that would be a suitable site, but negotiations to buy the land have yet to produce an agreement. Further complicating mat- ters are recent complaints from neighbors of the youth sports complex who have reservations about a stadium project in their back yards, and haven't been approached by either city or county offi- cials about such a project. Among the loose ends involved in a new stadium and hotel at the fairgrounds are long-term Babe Ruth Baseball, Florida Department of Motor Vehicle and Florida National Guard Armory facili- ties lease agreements on the premises, and the possible relocation of all three. If negotiations can be con- cluded that eventually lead to the departure of all three, and old structures such as Robarts Arena and the Potter Building are demolished, planners *could design a state-of-the- art community destination on 95 acres. Give-and-take, While the Reds have niade 'it clear from the outset they want a new stadium, practice fields and offices in one loca- tion, they appear ready to Early voting starts Oct. 23 Early voting for the Nov. 7 General, Special and Muni- cipals elections will begin Monday, Oct. 23, and contin- ue through Sunday, Nov. 5. All registered voters will have the opportunity to vote early at any of seven loca- tions, including the three SOE offices in Sarasota.

Somewhere in the give- and-take between city, coun- ty and fair officials, the Reds would have to satisfy their remaining needs for ad- ditional spring practice facili- ties at the current Ed Smith Stadium complex, which would become part of a north county sports park. Another loose end that has received scant attention is affordable housing, which was part of the $150 million "North County Recreation Facility Enhancements" plan devised by City Manager ,Mike McNees and County Administrator Jim Ley that initiated stadium discussions. As previously reported by the Pelican Press, fair officials are currently working with. Ringling Bros. officials on plans for an arena that would bring "The Greatest Show on Earth" back to Sarasota after an absence of almost 50 years. What the board envisions is a no-frills facility with up to : 40,000 square feet of flexible floor space, plus about 20,000 square feet for offices, meet- ing rooms, restrooms and other amenities. It would include a 50-foot-high ceiling with 60 rigging points that support up to 55,000 pounds. Arena financing has been the fair board's toughest chal- lenge. It could include pro- ceeds from the sale of a 5-acre Thttle Avenue parcel, a state agricultural grant, local foun- dation grants, arena naming rights and a possible advance on lease payments from the circus. A significant contribution possibly $10 million - from an extension of the county's 1-percent local- option sales tax would make the project more feasible, and allo%\ designers to include amenities that make it com- fortable for more formal events such as high school graduations.

SMITH STAFF WRITER In January 2004, Sarasota County commissioners auth- orized $637,027 for Erickson Consulting Engineers to design and get permits to open, Mid- night cPass onalso Siesta Key.ngineer Karyn day, Erickson made a presentation asked, for $272,099 MERCIER more, and got it. But commissioners also far wondered where it would all end. Company engineer Karyn Erickson made a presentation to the-board, showing them where the money has gone so far and why more was needed. "If you look specifically at sand-pumping costs, they are at a 100-percent increase (over 2004 projections)," Erickson said. "They've gone from $6 a yard in 2004 to $10 a cubic yard today." Erickson added that the demands on the shipping industry now are "huge," due to increased burdens brought on by the hurricane seasons of 2004-2005. When asking what the chances were for getting a barge to aid in the Midnight Pass project, she said she was told that "there was a year's backlog on pro- ducing more barges for the industry." The reopening project was originally designed to signifi- cantly improve flushing in Little Sarasota Bay, increasing water clarity and improving water quality. It also was intended to restore a marine ecosystem to Little Sarasota Bay and stabilize beaches on Siesta and Casey keys, provid- ing a high-quality sand source for beach renourishment. Bleeding money Two channels have been planned for the project. One would link the Intracoastal Waterway directly to the gulf. The other would open up an access channel to Turtle Beach. Ultimately, the improve- ments would restore marine life and create new recreation- al opportunities in these waters, allowing an outlet from the bay to the Gulf. But on Tuesday, Commis- sioner Shannon Staub was doubtful the financial I bleeding g would stop, 1 despite the addition of a $1 million- , per-year over- age allotment. "I'm think- ---- ing we should THAXTON prepare for a lot more than a million," she said. "I'm concerned about the reliability of the numbers before uis," said Commissioner Jon Thaxton. He note that the costs had jumped dramatical- HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT GETTING ONLINE?

"The original initial cost for permitting the project was $337,000. It's now $909,000," Thaxton said. "The cost of constructing the project has gone from $3.8 million to $7.3 million. The cost for the annual maintenance went from $376,000 a year to a mil- lion a year. I continue to be very nervous about the pro- ject." "I'm still committed to the idea that this isn't just about Midnight Pass," Commis- sioner Paul Mercier said. "It's about a policy shift that has been made to go with beach renourishment." Commissioner Nora Pat- terson challenged Erickson to be frank about her num- bers, hinting another visit like this one would not go over well. "I believe this takes us to this time next year," Erickson said. "Hopefully, by January 2008 we can come before you with contracts that we feel comfortable recommending to the board." The board approved the increase with a vote of 4-1. Thaxton dissented. You can e-mail Steven J. Smith at ssmith@sun- herald.com.

The grant will support research, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of sci- entists led by the institute. The team will seek to better understand the causes of red tide along Florida's Gulf Coast, especially how and what types of nutrients fuel the blooms. The grant is from the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms pro- gram, managed by NOAA Ocean Service's Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research. 'A better understanding of the underlying causes of blooms is essential for pre- dicting when blooms will occur and evaluating what prevention options may be available to coastal man- agers," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lauten- bacher, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "NOAA's part- nership with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute will help provide a more thorough understand- ing than is currently avail- able." At a July 2006 NOAA-sup- ported red tide workshop held in Sarasota, national and international red tide experts agreed that not enough is known about the nutrient sources that support growth of the red tide organism in the gulf. Public input to this workshop also provided strong support for the need to understand the relationship between nutrients and these blooms. The new research, which will combine biological, chemical, and physical mea- surements with predictive modeling efforts, seeks to address a critical knowledge gap using both experimental and modeling approaches, as well as retrospective data analysis. Investigators also will seek to identify ilterna- tives for coastal managers. The red tide organism blooms in Florida almost annually, leading to severe economic and environmental impacts. Annual economic impacts in Florida from the blooms have been estimated to be at least $15 million to $25 million. The red tide is currently affecting shore areas from Pinellas to northern Collier County. Last year, an unusually large and persistent bloom occurred, lasting from January 2005 to February 2006. Red tide produces neuro- toxins that can kill marine mammals, fish, and other marine creatures, cause shell- fish to be unfit for human consumption and sicken humans with chronic respira- tory problems such as asth- ma. DOGGIE from page I A Florida's "doggie dining" law does not require that communities go along. Counties and cities have to agree and devise a local sys- tem of permits for the restau- rants that are willing to allow dogs. Servers are prohibited from actually touching them. Health officials must also be convinced there are on- site provisions to clean up after dogs, and liquid hand sanitizer is made available to patrons in sections where dogs are allowed. The issue is sure to stir debate when it reaches the public hearing stage. "We've been monitoring news clips from communities around the state," County Administrator Jim Ley told. the commissioners, "and I can assure you this subject will generate discussion." He did not recommend a course of action. "I'm not real familiar with the law," Commissioner Jon Thaxton said, "but I'd like to have a discussion item put on our agenda. I don't believe a restaurant owner would allow dogs outside if they would compromise the clientele. Only the owner can make that determination." Mercier observed that all of the commissioners received e-mail messages from animal advocates, and has suggested at least five restaurant owners should contact him if they feel it's a good idea. "I haven't heard from them yet," he said. The law was reportedly 'drafted after Orlando health officials threatened down- town restaurants with $5,000 fines if they continued to allow dogs on the premises. State Rep. Sheri McInvale, whose district includes the city, pursued the measure. DISTRICT from page 7A after an incident happens." Channeling is the answer Newer schools, like Venice Elementary, will likely need little, if any, additional fenc- ing, according to Chief of School Police Larry Leon. Recent builds have incor- porated crime-prevention design. Some schools will need enhancing, while older campuses will require more effort, he said. "We will look at design fea- tures, that are cost effective, aesthetically pleasing and pro- vide that (safety) function," Leon said. Job No. Will be to conduct a needs assessment and pri- oritize which schools should receive attention first. The school district won't have to start from scratch. A security and safety reassess- ment was conducted in August 2003 by consultant Ken Trump. "He addressed areas of fencing or channels to move people into the front office area. We will incorporate (those recommendations) with our experience," Leon said.. "In essence, we're trying to make sure our visitors are going into the right locations and not wandering onto cam- pus," he said. Fencing or no fencing, school staff is still the first line of defense, Leon said. "It's most important to make sure staff are vigilant and procedures are followed to identify and direct visitors into the main office area," Leon said. No time line was given as to when fencing projects might begin or when they'll be completed. Norris assured the school board it is a priori- ty. "We are moving post-. haste," he said. 13TH from page 1 A hotel guests are wary about staying on a floor with an unlucky number. "Ever notice there are no 13th floors. in the larger hotels?" said Beverly Vanech, a Venice resident and former: director for Marriott Hotels. She said that guests might not get a good night's sleep on floor number 13. -. "Marriott Hotels go from 12 to 14 and no one notices," she said. Hospital admis spokeswoman, .said, "We see a lot more patients when there is a full moon." . Trina Hayes, owner of 'Lifeguides in Venice, offered some advice for coping with Friday the 13th. ! "Dont be negative, wake up. and create the day you want to have and and nothing will go vfrng," she said, adding, "knock on wood." Ybou can e-mail-Susan .Cairo at scairo@venice- sions ondolier.com. coneollorom. The British Medical Jour- nal had.a study in 1993 titled "Is Frida the. 13th bad for your health?" The authors compared the ratio of affic' - volume to the number of automobile accidents on two days, Friday the '6th and Friday the 13th, over a period of years. They found that in the region sampled, while consis- tently fewer people chose to drive their cars on Friday the 13th, the number of hospital admissions due to vehicular accidents: was significantly higher than on "normal" Friday. They concluded that it is an unlucky day for some. So did Lloyd Tucker,. the new emergency room direc- tor for Venice Regional Medical Center. "I spent the last eightyears at an emergency center :in Homestead, Fla., and we found that there was a rise in admissions for accident- related injuries on Friday the 13th," he said., Tucker checked last January's records Iat Venice Regional Medical Center and found out that it had fewer patients than usual. "I can only guess that the people of Venice are reluctant to leave their homes on the 13th," Tucker said. ; Kathy Turner, hospital Rebuttal In a story in the Oct. 4 edi- tion of the Gondolier Sun, attorney Jeff Boone was quoted as saying the Sorrento Ranches subdivi- sion along Laurel Road is for sale.

VEDDER PHONE: (941) 207-1000 8A FRIDAY OCT. 13,2006 www.venicegondolier.com Venice Gondolier Sun OPINION EDITOR BOB MUDGE PHONE: (941) 207-1101 FAX: (941) 484-8460 bmudge@venicegondolier.com OUR VIEW Facilitator gives planning agreements big push I t is now easy to understand why North Port, Venice and Sarasota County select- ed Tallahassee Attorney Linda Shelley to help iron out strong differences over an- nexation. The lawyer is high-speed motion personified. Her actions are rare for government de- liberations. She performs at what can best be called an amazing pace, and she doesn't hedge her words or pull her punches. County officials have been upset since North Port agreed that Thomas Ranch could become part of the city. The Isles of Ath- ena's annexation also caused much frus- tration, even anger at the county office in downtown Sarasota. Jon Thaxton and other commissioners have been extremely vocal about their objections. Until the county learned of a recent court ruling in favor of Seminole County on a similar issue, all the county commis- sioners could do is complain. The cities contend the county should trust them when a landowner wants to become part of one of the two commun- ities. The county commissioners want to be involved in those decisions, since it is rural county land that is being annexed. The initial meeting with Shelley was held Wednesday, Oct. 4. Just five days later, on Monday, Oct. 9, Shelley sent the first draft of proposed agreements for North Port and Venice. She wrote them after visiting face to face with officials from both cities and the county. The most controversial part of the early draft is the suggestion the the county should have veto power over North Port when it comes to annexation. Here are the words from the draft docu- ment that will undoubtedly raise the blood pressure of the city governments: "(I)n the event that a dispute arises with regard to whether and under what terms and conditions land may be annexed,, the city agrees that the annexation will not. proceed without the county's agreement." In her cover letter Shelley points out "these drafts are not designed to cast any- thing whatsoever in stone ... These drafts represent my ideas for putting some con- cepts on the table so that discussions can move along rapidly, and (these documents) do not represent the work of any of the parties." She then gave the two cities anld the, county until Friday to send her their reac- tion so she can send out a revised draft by Monday, Oct. 16. Monday was the Columbus Day holiday, and city halls were closed. So there was no immediate reaction to the document. The next meeting of city and county staff is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 23. By then the cities will have made their feelings known. It is possible Shelley has the ability to defuse the cities' response before the next meeting, or she might be able to persuade the county to back off a bit. But if the county insists on veto power over all an- nexation past and future it could drive a wider wedge between the two sides. The arguments must be over and joint planning agreements signed by early Jan- uary. If the cities don't agree, the county says it will go to the voters and ask them to give county officials the power to control annexation with an amendment to the county charter. Separating the wheat from the chaff MARY KAY RUPPEL Sf lIMNIST Anyone who has read my columns knows that my poli- tics are conservative. Also, if you have read them, you know that I strongly. advo- cate that people vote their personal philosophy, be it liberal or conservative. In other words, I would never attempt to change any- one's personal views, only caution that they assess the views to which they are ascribing. My greatest fear just prior to our upcoming election on Nov. 7 is that that the politi- cal debates are centered on politics, not values. Many times since the eruption of the Mark Foley scandal, I have asked myself if the Republican Party botched the handling of the information regarding his e-mails to a page. I Unless these are blatant lies, Speaker Dennis Hastert was informed in late 2005 that Foley had sent a page some "overly friendly" e- mails and that the page's parents wanted him to stop but didn't want a big deal made of it. The e-mail was a bit creepy but not overtly sex- ual. Republican leaders quietly asked Foley to cease and desist and Folely agreed. Crisis averted, prob- lem solved, right? Now I ask myself what would have happened had the Republican Party asked Foley to resign at that time, since from what I've learned, many were suspicious that he was a homosexual. This is what I answer myself: The Republican Party would have been accused of "gay bashing" and the ACLU would have jumped on them with both feet. I firmly be- lieve that would have hap- pened. Isn't it amazing that the story broke when it was too late for the Republican Party to remove Foley's name from the ballot? Immediately following Foley's resignation, a series of extremely salacious in- stant messages appeared from Foley to young men. From my personal scrutiny of the events as they oc- curred, copies of these in- stant messages were sent to the FBI and the St. Petersburg Times by the ,"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington," a group funded by the left- ist multi-billionaire George Soros. We must now assiduously .use our God-given brain- power and personal sense of ethics. to separate the wheat from the chaff in this on- slaught of political tactics. Iti will be tempting for lib-: erals to jump on the Foley/ RNC outrage and fury band- wagon- being pulled by Democratic minority leader Nancy Pelosi. Caution she is eager to become the first woman speaker of the House. I have promised myself in writing this that I will not mention the names Kennedy, Studds or Franks to com- pare political party bad boys. However, I will close by quoting a column by Star Parker in which she said, "So, what's the big deal about Mark Foley? Bill Clinton transformed the Oval Office into a sexual romper room, used the power of the nation's highest office to prey on the young and naive for his pleasure, brought discussion about intimate sexual be- havior into common public discourse, and educated America's children about al- ternative modes of sexual behavior." He merely made an "am- biguous" apology and is to- day a revered senior states- man and idol of the Demo- crat Party. Well, I do think it is a big deal about Mark Foley, and I am seriously angry with him for defiling his public office and the trust of the American people. Knowing what he knew about himself and still co- sponsoring a bill to rein in and punish pedophiles is disingenuous to the point of, making me physically ill just to think of it. I do pray, though. that he sincerely recognizes just' how odious his behavior became and then hopefully he can forgive himself and get on with his life honestly. To quote scripture, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Mary Kay Ruppel is a Venice resident and has been a frequent contributor to other publications.

Exercise your right to vote Nov. 7 Move bike races to the airport Editor: Just experienced my second or third bike race in down- town Venice on a Saturday, and offer the following thoughts and observations. We don't play ball in the living room because accidents happen, things can get broken and someone could get hurt. Downtown.Venice is a particularly poor venue for a bike race for the same reason. When a 4- or 5-year-old runs out in front of a bike, an "Oops, sorry" won't cut it. An injured child is sobering to me. If you think this won't happen, you have little experience of children, or their caretakers. There is no provision for the slow, infirm or handicapped to safely cross public streets. How is someone to reach one of the restaurants within the race boundaries? The places of business I visited on Miami and West Venice avenues were for the most part empty of customers. The few vendors present at this event were hard to locate. A craft fair and bike race seem at cross purposes when held together. It isn't clear who would bear the liability if a racer loses control and a bystander gets injured. Is the city prepared to handle an injury claim? The "deep pocket" rule would surely apply. My solution: Move the race from downtown to the airport area where the Shark's Tooth Festival was held once, and where an auto race was held in the mid '90s. There should be ample space to lay out a course and have safe areas from which to watch. It would be the right thing in the right place and everyone should be happy. Dems think hating evil is enough Editor: The Democrats tell us that the George Bush Home- land- Security Program isn't working. Since Sept. 11, large-scale terrorist attacks were perpe- trated against Spain, Eng- land, India and Saudi Arabia. Yet the United States, the No. 1 terrorist target, has had no attacks on our soil. The Democrats are staun- chly opposed to such securi- John F. Myers Nokomis ty measures as wire-tap- ping, bank account moni- toring, profiling and military interrogation of terrorist prison-ers all techniques used by Homeland Security that have detected and prevented terrorist atroci- ties in America. What would have occurred had we obeyed the Democrats' doc- trine? No thanks, Dems. You are more concerned with pro- tecting the civil liberties of those who wish to wipe us off the face of the earth than you are in protecting us from a mushroom cloud. You want to protect your liberal interpretation of the Constitution. George Bush wants to protect Ameri- cans. The next time a commer- cial airliner full of passen- gers is flown into a build- ing, take comfort in the fact that the perpetrators of this unconscionable, evil act were wrong. With the Demo- crats, that is all you &ae re- quired to do. After all, to retaliate would make you just like them. Now, don't you feel better? Dennis Dodd Nokomis Passing bills doesn't close the border Editor: Prior to returning to their home districts to campaign, Congress approved a bill to build a 700-mile fence across the Mexican border. Don't hold your breath; it will not be built. Secretary Chertoff and George W. will decide what is built, how the money will be spent and on what pri- orities besides a fence. The administration will crow about this bill as an example of protecting our border, but don't be fooled. As long as the Mexican government, the adminis- tration and big business oppose a closed border, it will not happen. Bob Lawler Venice Somebody needs to end the mudslinging Editor: I believe Florida voters would agree that the election process has degraded into a mudslinging free-for-all. A strategy where candidates attempt to lure voters into voting against a particular candidate, hoping that this "better me than him" strat- egy is the key to their suc- cessful campaign. The facts are often less than clear, at times obviously skewed or even blatantly altered (notice I tried not to say the obvious --a lie). We seem to have accepted that "all's fair in love, war and elections." What if the Legislature were to enact a statute that limited or even prevented the candidate from saying anything derogatory about their opponents? I know, freedom of speech. Oh, but how refreshing it would be: The candidates would be forced to tell us just how qualified they are and just what we can expect them to do for us, if elected. George E.

SHOULD FLORI A iGya IMPOSING A STATE INCOME TAX? (, I ANJ '07-. State income tax would be fairer Income tax. Here's an idea that no doubt everyone will take issue with, but it makes sense to me. How about a state income tax? I know, I know, you're laughing, but if you're not one of the wealthy, just think about this. The state has to have enough money to pay for the needs of its citizens like roads, schools and all those things we can't live without. One way or the other, they're going to get the money to pay for these necessities. The way it is now, various taxing authorities tack on a percent here or a millage there, and we all pay the price at the same rate. This is where things become unfair. No matter what your income is, every- one pays the same percentage of tax; thus, those who can least afford it pay a greater percentage of their income on say, sales tax, gas tax, property tax. If we had a state income tax based upon how much we earn or don't earn, we would be taxed more fairly and the people with lower incomes would pay a proportionally lesser share of the cost. Doesn't that make more sense? Ban porn. Well, my fellow Americans, we did nothing about pornography when the torturing and killing of thou- sands of our young women took place at the hands of pornography addicts like Ted Bundy, the Hillside Strangler and their ilk. Bundy admitted on his death bed that pornog- raphy fueled his rampages. In the last decade or so we now have to contend with the rape and murder of little girls, e.g., the 11-year-old girl who was kidnapped, raped and buried alive north of Tampa, and the deviate in South Carolina who recently kidnapped a girl and put her in a pit in the ground. Did you really think our ancestors didn't know what they were doing when they banned pornography? Sure, most people can handle pornography and control themselves, but they are damaged goods. A few people cannot handle pornography and. they have killed thou- sands of our women and young girls. They will keep raping and murdering our young women and girls if we don't ban all pornography.

This is in reply to Tom Stevens' Letter to the Editor about daylight saving time. My suggestion is that we wait until next spring and then don't spring forward. That way that gives everybody time to get in sync, it saves an untold forest of trees and nobody has to go around changing their clocks all the time. Safety limits. I disagree regarding speed limits. They are not set for revenue enhancement but for safety. I drive in many areas that are 30 mph and people pass me, deliberately speeding, I'd say. I just hope and pray there are no children playing, a bicy- clist, jogger or walker in their vacinity. Even when the limits are 45 on Business 41, for example, 99 percent go more than 50. This is not safe. I, agree that maybe the speed limits should be lowered in some areas because they speed anyway. Missing. I have just read today's paper from cover to cover and there is nothing in the paper regarding the little girl in North Port who was found murdered this past weekend. Tampa and Fort Myers TV stations have re- ported updates on every newscast, but apparently our own local .paper doesn't find it important to report. You might as well go back to two papers a week because you don't report all of the local news anyway.. Just say "No" to Amendment 3 ED MARTIN f. QI IINiqiST There is a really nasty effort underway to weaken every citizen's right under the Flor- ida Coristitution to approve initiatives that express the people's will. Under the current Consti- tution a simple majority-- 50 percent plus one vote can approve an initiative such as the ones limiting taxincreas- es on our homesteads, cre- ating a voluntary pre-kin- dergarten for 4-year-olds and limiting class sizes. An amendment establishing term limits also passed -- no wonder the Legislature created this amendment. These changes in Florida law came about as constitu- tional amendments when the Legislature ignored voter sentiments. So, petitions were gathered with sufficient sig- natures to force the issue onto the ballot, where the majority of voters approved it. Now, there are legislators and big lobbyists who think we are too dumb (or perhaps honest) to have that privi- lege, so they want to change the Constitution to require that 60 percent of the people voting must vote yes a very difficult hurdle since most elections are won by less than 60 percent. ' If you see a "Yes 3" sign, think "NO!" Since- the big money is for this travesty, you will see "Yes" signs, but the people may not have the money to buy "No" signs. Gut our Constitution This destructive power play is being pushed by a group that in a familiar pat- tern, has given itself a name that is the opposite of its pur- pose. The group, called "Protect our Constitution," waits to change it, not pro- tect it. All you have to know is what groups are pouring mil- lions into this misinforma- tion, to know their true pur- pose. According to the Herald- Tribune, the National Asso- ciation of Home Builders has provided $300,000. Then there is another group nicely named the "Foundation for Preserving Florida," which contributed $250,000. These folks want to make it more difficult for Sarasota County, Venice and other local governments to rezone land. Zoning land to preserve Florida is the opposite of their goals. Naturally, the Realtors want to preserve Florida also. The Florida Association of Realtors kicked in $100,000. Those nice people who are preserving Florida by allowing fertilizers and pesti- cides to contaminate the Everglades and the gulf are in the PAC: U.S. Sugar, $50,000; Florida Crystals, sugar cane, $50,000; Alico Inc. (agriculture), $100,000; and A. Duda and Sons, Inc., agri- culture, $100,000. Our local grocer, Publix Supermarkets Inc., felt this travesty was worth $100,000 of your grocery money. I'll see you at Albertson's or Sweetbay. I don't think Floridians are up for losing their power at the ballot box, despite this big money campaign, and some more sophisticated political observers than I mVst think so as well. After I wrote this article, I read that both candidates for governor are opposing Amendment 3. As the lady said, "Just say No," in a bipartisan fashion.

The academy, with more than 100 students ages 3 to mid-50s, celebrated its sev- enth anniversary with the leadership team performing at the Taylor Ranch Hoedown. Fifty percent of the stu- dents are female, and they do it for self defense. However, in the kick-boxing for adults classes, 20 women outnum- ber their three male col- leagues. "It is definitely self defense, and staying in shape," said Mirville.

There is a Nerdmobile in Venice: a bright red Volks- wagen emblazoned with the Nerds On Site logo. Until recently Lamont Andrews lived in Chicago, where he did software con- sulting with McDonalds and large banking operations. With 25 years' experience in information technology, he has made his home in Venice and become a "nerd," joining hundreds of nerds in six countries. Each benefits from the 250 competencies of the University of Nerdology set up in 1995. Andrews, the local nerd, assists small- to mid- size businesses and individu- als, primarily in Venice, who have acquired computer equipment and subsequently need personalized assistance. Assisted by his wife, Patricia, who handles admin- istration, his intent is to hire more nerds out in the field, eventually covering South Florida to meet the demands of frustrated computer users.

Charter boats monitor' red tide Capt. Gary Howland, a charter boat operator in Nokomis, monitors red tide on fishing charters in the Gulf of Mexico. "What triggers red tide is not established. especially since-the land-based,f er run-off theory arose," said Rowland. Typically it will form 40-50 miles offshore and by, the time we become aware it cov- ers more than 100 acres. Charter boat operators take sea water samples in bottles, noting the GPS location, then ship them to St. Petersburg for analysis. A report is pro- duced and charts are color coded as to the level of red tide. The Volunteer Monitoring Program of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Com- mission presented Howland an award for his outstanding achievement in the red tide monitoring program.

BY ROGER BUTTON BUSINEWS COLUMNIST wr ,m SUN PHOTO BY ROGER BUTTON Cesare and Gianni Valenti discuss plans and construction of the Valenti family's Villa Venezia Plaza on East Venice Avenue. This year the Valenti family of Venice will celebrate the completion of its most presti- gious development in the city. Construction of Villa Venezia Plaza in the Tuscany Commons division of East Venice Avenue is nearing completion. Project manager CesareValenti, with his broth- er, Gianni, began the plan- ning and design more than two and half years ago and throughout the process sought input from customers at the family's Valenti's Restaurant on East Venice Avenue. The objective was to con- struct a retail and profession- al office plaza appealing to people entering the gateway to Venice. "We see it not just as the gateway, but as the new main street ofVenice," said Valenti. Built on 2.7 acres in an inviting "V" shape, the 30,000-square-foot building encompasses 22 units. Three towers project in ornate style, each with a gazebo commu- nity area with benches at street level. The first floor of the center tower will be a pavilion with umbrellas and tables, sur- rounded by mini columns enclosing a patio. Central columns and the towers will be painted in pleasant, dynamic eggshell color with a contrasting burgundy mar- oon variant. With 22 units available, Valenti confirmed he is going to be very selective with ten- ants wanting to offer services the community needs. "We see retail, a mixed commerce building where people can come to have a coffee, enjoy meeting and may be use a dry cleaner for their tailoring or visit a doc- tor," said Valenti. Excellent progress As owners they are manag- ing the project, but as com- munity members they under- stand it is their role to deter- mine what would be good fits for their building. Currently he is in discussions with physicians, including a pedia- trician and retailers. "It is likely my brother, Gianni, and I will create Valenti's Bistro and Bakery as the anchor for the plaza, but that is 18 months away," he said. To make the whole project appeal to passersby and cus- tomers, lots of vegetation will be planted in the parking lot central median. Buffering the VillaVenezia Plaza frontage to the road will be pockets of palms trees and there will be a lot of vegetation around buildings. The developer is making excellent progress and the plaza is scheduled to open early December. Both brothers work with their father, Santos, and mother in Valenti's restaurant on East Venice Avenue. "Our parents are very unpretentious and unassum- ing," said Valenti. "They came to this country as immigrants, starting from ground up." "Before we consider open- ing the bistro in Villa Venezia Plaza, we want everything fin- ished off, the units all leased and the building finalized," he said.

If the Venice High football team can win its first game of the season, the Indians will still have a faint heart- beat as far as living on past the regular season. If the Indians lose at Port Charlotte, the season will most definitely end after the regular season final Oct. 27 against Naples. Game time in Murdock will be at 7:30 p.m. Pass defense will be called to rise to the occasion, as Port Charlotte (2-4) has been airing it out 90 percent of the time of late. Word has it that Pirate running back Chris Fira could be back against the Indians. His older brother Matt ran for Venice a few years ago. Venice will need top con- trol at the line of scrimmage, eat up clock and finish drives. The Indians have tallied just 46 points over six games for a 7.6 points per game aver- age. They'll probably need more than that Friday. If Venice can win Friday, that will set the Indians up for another must-win game Oct. 20 against Lakewood Ranch. That game will mark Venice's Homecoming. The Venice High freshman team saw its record dip to 3-2 with a 27-7 loss to visit- ing Booker Wednesday night. Justin Grant scored Ven- ice's lone touchdown on a short run. The TD was set up by a pass from Joey Iorio to Joey Gaither. Booker returned an inter- ception for a touchdown and also piled on another TD in the final seconds of the game. Defensively, David Wil- liams was a standout at cor- nerback and ends Anders Ullrich and Tarus Washing- ton stood tall. Cardinal Mooney returns home Friday night to play against Berkeley Prep out of Tampa. Mooney is looking to improve to 8-0. The Mooney roster has five players from Venice. * * Tre Smith and his Auburn teammates will try to shake off last week's loss to Arkan- sas with a home game against the Florida Gators. Smith, a 2002 VHS grad, had one carry for negative yards last week against the Raz- orbacks. Auburn fell from No. 2 to No. 11. Florida is the new No. 2.

"You have to forget, you have to have a bad memory," said the veteran Venice High mentor. The Lady Indians were like elephants Thursday night, shaking off an awful game two and rebounding to post a four-game victory over visiting Evangelical Christian. The scores were 25-12, 9-25, 25-22 and 25-15 as Venice finished the regular season with a record of 21-4. ECS, the defending Class 2A champ, dropped to 13-11. After recording a relatively easy "W" in game one, Ven- ice fell apart in game two. And things didn't look so hot for the Lady Indians in game three, as the Lady Sentinels ran out to a 13-7 lead before Venice pulled together and rallied for the win. The two seniors on the squad Natalie Gaudreau and Ashley Graf were in the middle of the comeback. Outside hitter Gaudreau sin-' glehandedly buried ECS, as she had six kills down the stretch. Junior Kaylee Ream had the kill on the final point. Venice now had regained momentum. In game four, a number of Lady Indians stepped up including Gau- dreau, Graf, Ream, Casey Taylor, Casie Richards and Jill Allen. Gaudreau and Graf were honored before the match .as part of "Senior Night" activities. "We showed composure and poise," said Wheatley, whose team is ranked third in5A.

Tolar: Whatever it takes to get back to the bigs BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR All Kevin Tolar wants is one more shot ... one more chance to stick in the big leagues. He's willing to do whatever it takes to get there - like go to Venezuela for the third time for winter ball. Maybe someone will see him. Maybe someone will be in need of an experienced left handed pitcher who can still throw heat. "I'm 100 percent healthy," said the 35-year-old Tolar, who has called Venice home in the offseason for close to 15 years now. "I'm still pitch- ing well. There's no need to take off the uniform." Tolar has spent parts of three seasons in the Majors. He pitched W two' seasons with the De- troit Tigers . and spent the | tail end of ,. 2003 with the .4 Boston Red Tolar, who Tolar stands 6-foot, 3-inches tall and weighs 225 pounds, has been with 10 organizations and has played most of his 17- year career pitching in minor league stadiums. "I've played baseball in 47 out of the 50 states," said Tolar, while watching 6-year- old son Jarrett play "Fall Ball" last Saturday at the Chuck Reiter Complex. Besides two other stints in Venezuela, Tolar has also played in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Tolar was a standout at Lynn Haven-Mosley High and was. drafted by the White Sox. He had shoulder surgery in 1994 after a labrum tear. The White Sox released him and he began hopping from organi- zation to organization. The last team to have rights was the Blue Jays in '95. Tolar played independent ball this past summer with the Long Island Ducks in the Northern League. "I had a good year," he said. "I can still throw in the 90 to 94 miles per hour range. I have a slider, curve and splitter. I've just developed my splitter. Hopefully, that will help get me back to the bigs." It is important for Tolar to get back to the Major Leagues as far as pension is concern- ed. A couple more years in the bigs would give him a reasonable pension check after retirement. Not to mention the mini- mum salary of $300,000 coming in handy. Tolar left Tuesday for Aragua, the team he plays for inVenezuela. He said there are two halves of the season - November and December and January and February. "The second half is more important," he said. "The big- ger name players come for the second half. The scouts are there for the second half and the playoffs. I'm playing both halves because I can use the work. The weather is great. The fans treat us great. Three years ago we won it all and the whole state had a two-day hol- iday." Strong pool performances in home finale BY CLAUDE LEWIS SPORTS EDITOR The Venice High girls and boys swim teams held their final home action of the sea- son Wednesday with a tri- meet at the Indian pool. Both the girls and boys had strong performances. The girls scored 163 points to dunk North Port (51) and Bayshore (50). The boys swam well, but numbers caught up with them. Not being able to field a 400 freestyle relay allowed North Port to squeak by the Indians. North Port had 101 team points, Venice 98 and Bayshore 58. The next action for the Venice swimmers will be the district meet Oct. 21 at the Selby Pool in Sarasota. The Venice girls over- whelmed the Lady Bobcats and Lady Bruins. They won all three relays.

Jim at Fishermen's Edge in Placida went fishing Sunday and caught reds, snook and a few small trout. The reds weren't small at all. He said he saw schools of them on the flats. Then I went to Fishing Frank's in Port Charlotte. Robert said the reds are all over Charlotte Harbor.; He saw huge schools, some of them had to have 200-300 reds. He predicts that the Spanish and king mackerel should be in our area any time now. His reports say that they are making a bee- line from the much cooler Panhandle southward. My next report is from Becky at Rio Villa Bait in Punta Gorda. She showed me several dated pictures from some of her reliable customers. Most of the reds were oversized and naturally were released. All of the dates were in the past week. My next stop was Tackle Wholesale Outlet in North Fort Myers. Katie and Rich, both had the same stories. Reds all over the flats. How's that for great news? Of course the best news is that our water quality has improved in our area. I went out to the Venice Municipal Pier Sunday. I actually had trouble finding a parking spot. As I walked out- on the pier, I saw at least a hundred people on each side on the beach. What a wonderful sight. The pier was also load- ed with people. Tom and Craig at the bait shop told me that the fishepnen have been catching a bunch of small jacks and a few small pompano. The water looked fantastic. I found the same thing at the Venice jetty. Hopefully these conditions will stwy with us. It's great to have some posi- tive things to write about. Call your northern cousins, and friends. Tell' them it's safe to go in the water again. Well fellow Sheepsheadites, the time has come to say goodbye until next week.

Florida Neighborhood Conference ,in Fort Laud- erdMle follow-up: The keynote speaker at last week's confer- ence asked the 925 attendees the question, "Is it true that knowledge is power?" Every- one answered yes. 'Wrong," he cried, "only applied knowl- edge is power." With that directive, we were challenged to apply the knowledge we gained at the conference to our individual homeowner associations. That was quite an assign- ment. A few things Sally Hagan and I learned included: new approaches to leadership skills and inspiring volun- teers; how to celebrate com- munity successes; crime pre- vention through environ- mental design; and many other tools to improve our respective organizations. I was particularly interest- ed in the workshop on the benefits of incorporating a homeowners association as a charitable, tax-exempt 501(c) (3) organization instead of as a civic league 501 (c) (4). It would be a major change for the SVCA, but maybe not so much after all. Many of our activities are projects that qualify for tax-exempt status, and we then could partner for funds from foundations and government. The first step would be to outline the benefits to our membership for their vote. Our board of directors has already approved pursuing the initiative. I hope to see a big turnout next Monday. We are serving refreshments, so come on down!

Not all bridges work this way, including the three in Venice, which open every 20 minutes, except when there are no boats waiting. Vinnie Marsh, owner of Vinmar, responsible for waterproofing and concrete restoration, was highly com- plementary to fellow con- tractors, including Seacoast Metals. "They're great to remove the old steel and replace it in three weeks is awesome," Marsh said. Lawrence, who has worked on a number of bridge reno- vations, including Madeira Bridge in, St. Petersburg and Cape Canaveral Bridge, voiced the same sentiment.

BY RITA JUHASZ SUN CORRESPONDENT Residents of Manasota Key and beachgoers will soon have, the pleasure of getting on od' off the'island easily\ again when the Tom Adams Bridge reopens on Wed- nesday, Oct. 18, as originally scheduled. That's the word from Chuck Koons, project engi- neer. "We anticipate no prob- lems and will re-open right on schedule," he said Friday while standing on the bridge's, new sturdy drawbridge grate. Many teams of men labored under the hot sun bringing together their skills in iron-working, painting, concrete and welding. "It's hot," -said Jaime Lawrence o' VHP' Painters:. 'Vut't.t's ieen a good thing. The weather has been real cooperative. Things are look- ing good." VHP Painting, Seacoast Metals, Vinmar Concrete Restoration and Doyle Electric have all worked dili- gently from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week since the reconstruction project began, The bridge has been rein- forced structurally by un- earthing the rebar, sandblast- ing it, painting it with rust protectant, then pouring new concrete.

A nearby boat ramp' set up a perfect scenario: A boater would hitch up his boat and invariably be stopped by a raised draw- bridge, as the saltwater from his craft would drip, drip, drip through the concrete, weak- ening the rebar.

Aiden NIarcel, who staffs the drawbridge from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., said he will have to wait for his tiny house on the bridge to be renovated. "There will be a new house built on the opposite side of the bridge in about three years, with new electronic operating equipment to raise and lower the drawbridge," Marcel said.

Ask a 'compounding' pharmacy SUZY COHEN, R. PH. COLUMNIST Q: I really want to get on bio- identical hormones, especially after dealing with some fright- ening side effects, but I can't find a doctor in my area who knows anything about it. I've gone through half the phone book! How does one go about finding a physician that can cus- tomize my hormones for me? - P.A., Chicago A: It's easiest to call the phar- macies that make, or "com- pound," the bio-identical prescriptions in your city. Just point blank ask them, "What doctors prescribe bio-identi- cal hormones in this city?" Then call those doctors and ask for a free consultation at their office. Find out how the physician tests your hor- mone levels; it appears that saliva testing is better than blood testing. The doctors who prescribe bio-identical hormones and other natural medications are often naturopathic doctors (NDs), osteopathic doctors (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs) who think alongside the pillbox. Compounding pharmacies are experiencing resurgence thanks to con- sumer demands for more natural and individualized medications. They are able to make pretty much anything, in any form! For example, they can make natural testosterone in a gel, estrogens in a capsule or vaginal cream, in any combination that the doctor orders. There are hundreds of formulations. Compounding pharmna- cies have to meet every stan- dard any other pharmacy does in fact, their regula- tions are lengthier. They have to be licensed and inspected, and all of their major ingredi- ents have to be the same quality as those used by major pharmaceutical com- panies. The large chain phar- macies do not compound. They're built for speed and convenience, to give us those one-size-fits-all drugs and creams, rather than making us wait hours or days for spe- cialized compounded prod- ucts. Way back before I was bom, before the pharmaceutical industry was launched, all pharmacies were compound- ing. They would make people all kinds of herbs, tinctures and other natural potions. Today, compounding pharmacies are the excep- tion, not the rule. If you don't know of a pharmacy in your city that compounds, make your second phone call to the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists ([800] 927-4227; iacprx.com) and they'll give you phone numbers to compounding pharmacies that are closest to your home. Now here's another fabu- lous tip. There are a group of doctors who are very holisti- cally minded, and many of them belong to an organiza- tion called the American College for Advancement in Medicine. You can go to the ACAMWeb site (acam.org- /dr-search) and search for a doctor by plugging in your zip code. Or you can call (888) 439-6891. ACAM doc- tors tend to treat the whole patient, taking into account all of your symptoms. Folk remedy time: What,,, did grandma use on your itches, aches and pains? I want good folk remedies.

S, ease see BRIEFS,, OB While acute '"1\" pain usually comes on 3 J, suddenly and can be traced to fan exact source, chronic pain may persist in the absence of past injury or evidence of body damage. Chronic pain is also resistant to most medical treatments. Thus, many Americans with chronic pain turn to pain-relievers to mask symptoms. Not only does this approach fail to address the underlying causess, recent studies have shown that even such common over- the-counter drugs as acetaminophen carry a very real potential to cause serious side effects with prolonged use. In light of this "analgesic dilemma," people with chronic pain owe it to themselves to investigate the potential for chiropractic to relieve their pain. Chiropractic offers the option of managing pain without drugs. P.S. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upset, and some prescription pain medications are addictive.

The gradual but ulti- mate shift from light to dark, from comic to tragic, match the shape of Capote's life: his early years were marked by his insouciant wit and effervescence, his out- rageous self-assertion, and the beguiling, almost sunny pleasure he took in con- quering the world. These were succeeded by the later years of bitterness, a failure to produce the work he promised, a break with friends, reckless and ill-cho- sen love affairs, and a debilitating taste for drink and pills that only hastened his decline. It is that shift, from the tri- umphant to the tragic, that "Infamous" chronicles. Featuring Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock, Peter Bogdonovich, Jeff Daniels, Gwyneth Paltrow, Isabella Rossellini, Juliet Stevenson and Sigourney Weaver. 110 mins.

An expletive does not have to be a bad thing JUNE CASAGRANDE As you know, our current climate of political partisan- ship is beyond bitter. Democrats are blaming Republicans for perversion in Congress. Republicans are blaming Republicans for per- version in Congress. OK. Bad example. But it's true that par- tisanship is tearing our nation apart. This divisiveness is bad news for Americans, but good news for a lot of columnists, who get to make a name for themselves by making hay. And this columnist, for one, is sick of it. I want in. How, you're wondering, can a grammar columnist exploit the current political climate? Simple. I'll just apply the tried-and-true formula that has landed so many dolts and schnooks in positions they don't deserve: Find evi- dence of an alarming decline in our society, then blame it on somebody who can't defend himself. Which is why I'm here to tell you that the state of gram- mar is in a shocking down- ward spiral, and it's all the fault of one Richard M. Nixon. (If you thought you knew which way I was going with this, it appears you "misun- derestimated" me.) According to sources close to this reporter, namely Bryan Garner in his "Garner's Modern American Usage," Nixon subverted a critical grammar term and turned it into something tawdry. Heck, not just something tawdry, but tawdriness itself.' "In general usage, 'exple- tives' are understood to be curse words or exclama- tions," Garner explains. "This sense was fortified in American English during the Watergate hearings in the early 1970s, when coarse lan- guage was replaced with 'expletive deleted' in tran- scripts of White House tapes. In grammar, however, an 'expletive' is a word having no special meaning but standing in (usually at the beginning of a clause) for a delayed sub- ject." Namely, Garner is talking about. words like "there," "here" and "it," which play an unusual role in sentences and which hold the key to explaining a language rule we all know intuitively but never really think about. Take the sentence, "There's my dog, Checkers." Now con- sider the sentence, "There are my good friends Kissinger and Liddy." Why do we use a singular verb in the first sentence but a plural verb in the second? Because the verbs agree with the terms that follow them, right? But since when do verbs agree with nouns that follow them instead of with Please see WORD, 12B Sigrid Gebel will perform at the Mertz on Saturday Art show opens Opening this evening, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m., at Serenity Gardens, 602 E.

The answer, most people don't know (thank you, Mr. Nixon), is expletives. Expletives create a sort of exception to our normal way of constructing sentences. Some grammar guides describe the expletive's gram- matical function as that of a "false subject." That's why, they say, we make our verb agree with the word that fol- lows it the verb's "comple- ment." There is a monkey in the White House. There are some clowns in the Capitol building. Here is my official resigna- tion. Here are our plans for impeachment. The "Oxford English Grammar" calls the expletives in such constructions the "grammatical subjects" as opposed the "notional sub- jects" "monkey," "some clowns," etc. But don't be too quick to criticize people for conscruc- ;1-4 6ch as "Th-ereVs9il0me people I want you to meet," as I once criticized a less-than- articulate president for doing. (Sorry I can't find the exam- ple, but a certain comman- der-in-chief once used "there's" followed by a plural.) "There's" in place of "there are" is getting increasingly common. What's more, according to "Oxford," you can get away with it. "Like other grammatical subjects it often determines number concord, taking a singular verb even though the notional subject is plural. This usage is common in informal speech: 'There was elements of it that were fun.' " But like all successful polit- ical pundits, I'm willing to take a bold, controversial stand on this usage, thereby establishing myself as. a voice to be reckoned with: This usage, I hereby proclaim, is icky Look out Robert Scheer and George Will, here I come.

I find I am having a hard time dealing with it. I'm really grieved and so sorrowful for what they had to endure. I have never heard of anything so evil. I'm sure I must be per- sonalizing it by thinking of my own girls and cannot imagine the pain their moth- ers must feel. Dear Daughter, It is difficult not to grieve, feel great sorrow or question ph,-,,' T Liu" 1 how such injustice can exist We are confronted with this and many other equally heinous acts on TV over and over. Our emotions can go on "overload" because we identi- fy with those who suffered the loss, rather than with the lost. Of course, the Amish fami- lies grieve and will miss their children, but their trust in God's Word is so deep, they do not question that, for a Christian, "to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ." They know their children have only stepped across the threshold from this life to the next and they will be reunited with their loved ones for a joyful eternity, the height, width and breadth of which our finite human brains cannot even imagine. Their faith is unshakeable, as Christ says ours should be. Because God's Word also says, "unless you forgive, you will not be forgiven," the Amish know that forgiving is the first step to healing. Because harboring unforgive- ness is poisonous, God de- mands it for our own good, )ear Daughter not for the good of the perpe- trator of evil, although it may sometimes bring about gen- uine repentance and redem- ption for a lost soul. That is why the Amish families reached out iimediately to the wife and three children the killer left behind. Do you remember several years ago, when a young dri- ver., speeding, lost control of his car and plowed into ten Amish children walking home from a birthday party, killing hie outright and horri- bly injuring five more? It hap- pened in Ohio and I read an account in the biography of Dr. Elton Lehman, named Country Doctor of the Year in 1998 and physician to the families who lost children. When the unlicensed driver was jailed and under suicide watch, those families sent a representative, even as some of the injured kids were fight- ing for their own lives, to tell him they had forgiven him. The Amish know God is not the author of ejil. It is Satan who brings death, dis- ease and disaster. ,They also know "that all things work together for good to them that love God." They realize they may not see how this plays out, or when it is enough to know that it is the promise of God and they can depend on it. Perhaps, because the Amish spend so little time with the technological "toys" and diversions thafc eep us so busy, they have mrrre time to' spend in fellowship with Christ. That isn't ,to say we would be better 6ff forgoing zippers, TVs, automobiles and cell phones, but it does point out howwe are impact- ed and affected by all the dis- tractions that help us squeeze Christ into some convenient comer unless, God forbid, the electricity goes off.1 Many people don't even have a convenient! corner left for him and squeeze him out entirely. They, too, need our prayers.

They are designed to bring us the latest breaking news on most subjects pertinent to society's needs. However, most of these reports contain bad news. But whether good or bad news it remains an item for most city newspapers across our country today. Strictly speaking, "the gospel" is a term that represents good news for sinners. "For everyone has sinned and come short of the glory of God" [Rom. 3:23] This is bad news for men who think they are "ok".The Bible informs man that we are all sinners and have transgressed the law, [1John 3:4] "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." The payment for sin is death, [Romans 6:23] "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The bad news must come first. Repentance is a result of realizing the facts concerning us and believing the diagnosis that the Bible presents us. Thus we come to the understanding that within us there is no good thing, (Romans 7:18]. "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not." The cure for this biblical diagnosis is none other than the scriptural one presented in [1 Corinthians 15:3-4] "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures". We must come to know a resurrected Savior as Paul did. For many today claim to believe the gospel, but know nothing of the resurrected Lord. For many he is still on the cross. To know not Christ Jesus the resurrected Lord of the universe in a personal way is to remain dead in your sins. Death is separation not only from the body [1st death] but also eternal separation from God. This is called the "Second death" referred to in [Rev. 20:14] "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire." Most people know about the 1st death, but few have heard or believe in the 2nd death or "lake of fire". The ultimate good news the Bible has for a convicted sinner is that "The Lord Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" [1 Timothy 1:15]. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

There will be an open house Saturday, Oct. 14., In a buyers market, the ability to think outside the box is helpful. Michael Saunders agents did that recently when they offered a home tour, featuring 23 open houses on the same day. They took it a step further by offering chauffeur service to potential buyers. Home auctions also are gaining popularity. Driving throfigh a Venice neighbor- hood Sunday, houses that should have been within the same general price range, were $150,000-$245,000. That some of the higher prices were on homes for sale by owner indicated owners had not done their homework in determining realistic prices in the current market. When establishing a price it is important to make sure one is comparing apples with apples, not oranges. Because a neighbor sold his house last year for a high figure may not mean anything this year. Seri- ous bidders at auction should do the kind of homework necessary to establish the right price, if they are to be successful. Tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 14, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. there will be an auction open house at 1020 Pineland in the Edge- wood district of the city of Venice. After seeing the house, which has already had one open house, potential buyers need to place a sealed bid with the auctioneer. The top five bidders will be noti- fied and asked if that is their final bid. At no time will they be told what the top bid is, the seller said. Because the sellers have placed a reserve bid on the house, the successful buyer will have to top that price. Added to the successful bid will be'a 10 percent buyer pre- mium and the cost of docu- ment stamps. Bidders need to place a 5 percent deposit and may use a personal check, auctioneer Bill Wylie said. The house in question is a two-bedroom, two-bath split plan concrete block house that was built in 1979. The 1,677 square foot house and garage has 1,108 square feet of air-conditioned living space. A sheltered lanai opens to the caged pool built in 2004. Measuring 13- by 26-feet, the 10,000-gallon pool is heated with an electric heat pump. Sliding doors from the kitchen, master bedroom and living room all pocket, which allows the house to be fully open when the weather is right and shelter the lanai on three sides. A landscaped courtyard has been created leading from the driveway to the front door. The owners decided on the auction approach after con- ventional methods of selling the house were unsuccessful. "We found him on the In- ternet," the owner said. "This was the one guy who got back to me." Wylie is associated with Bay Harbor Financial in Holi- day, Fla. For information on the auction, call him at (727) 726-7900 or call (800) 704- 3068 and leave a message. For complete information on this auction process and to see properties, visit noagent- florida.com. Each of the sliding doors to the lanai are pocket doors along the home's exterior walls. When open, it is as though there are no doors at all. ENGLEWOOD GOLF COURSE $549,900 Spectacular golf course/pond view, pool, & Mediteranean architecture, in this 3/2+ Boca Royale G&CC home.
