Kenneth Blake points to the name of the B-24 bomber, Shirley Jean, he manned as a tail gunner in World War II. By ED SCOTT STAFF WRITER Sarasota County commis- sioners moved a step closer Wednesday to approving a controversial ordinance estab- lishing an energy economic zone program. Approved by the state in 2009, the program is designed to attract businesses that pro- duce clean technology services or products, like solar panels, as well as businesses that are housed in "green" or energy- efficient buildings, through the issuance of financial incentives. Sarasota County and the city of Miami Beach were chosen as pilot communities. Eligible county businesses would share up to $300,000 in state tax credits annually. That was considered a large windfall for a few developers when the EEZ initially consisted of the central county landfill opera- tions complex near Laurel Road and land between U.S. 41 and Interstate 75, near State Road 681. But after the state changed the program last year, county officials opened it up to all qualified businesses in the county's major employment centers, plus municipalities that choose to opt in. County officials have met with state and North Port representatives about the possibility of the West Villages Improvement District or activity centers 4 (which includes the intersection of Toledo Blade Boulevard and 1-75) and 5 (Price Boulevard at Toledo Blade) being des- ignated as energy economic zones. "If there were ever an area (where) I would like to see the jobs develop, that would be one," Commissioner Nora Pat- terson said of North Port. Commissioners continued to support the new, broader plan Wednesday, with some expressing their belief that the funds may be distributed too thinly to generate economic development. They approved the changes after several hours of debate and discussion, which included opposition from a handful of outspoken residents. One called the EEZ program detrimental, counter- productive and costly. A final vote is scheduled for Feb. 22. Changes to the proposed ordinance that commissioners approved Wednesday include: The broader boundaries. Changing the definition of eligible green businesses to those in the industrial, manufacturing or research and development sectors that agree to minimize their adverse environmental impact through landscaping, water ZONE 19 Community leader Bob Miles dies at 82 family man, businessman and community-minded citizen.

The answer to the question is a qualified yes. A cyclist choosing to ride on a sidewalk must yield the right of way to pedestrians and should give an audible warning before passing. This is a practice a cyclist should also use when riding on either the Venetian Waterway Park or the Legacy Trail. Riding on a sidewalk allows you to ride in either direction; however, rider and equip- ment regulations still apply. At a signalized intersection a cyclist ap- proaching on a sidewalk must obey the ap- plicable control signal. Most signaled inter- sections have "Walk" signals. If no pedestrian signal is provided, the cyclist may cautiously cross in accordance with the light and signal indicators for parallel traffic flow. A note of caution: Cyclists riding on sidewalks are more susceptible to injury compared to riding in a bike lane. This is due to the number of driveways, approaches and other obstacles the cyclist may encounter. Although you may feel a greater comfort level riding on sidewalks you are cautioned to use extreme care when using them as your selected route. Ride safe, ride smart.

Serianni fires lawyer in suit against city City Attorney Bob Anderson informed city council by email this week Demitri N. Serianni, a Venice police officer suing the city, discharged his attorney and requested a continuance of the trial. The court granted the request on Wednesday. The trial had been scheduled for later this month. Ander- son said he anticipates the trial will be re-scheduled for sometime this summer. The motion to replace his lawyer cited "irrecon- cilable differences." Serianni claims the city retaliated against him after he testified in 2009 on behalf of another officer in a wrongful termination case, and in 2010 for reporting a lieutenant who visited his bait shop while on duty.

U.S. Airways Group, one of three remaining carriers at the airport, is vetting a potential merger with troubled American Airlines, whose parent company is navigating Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Because American Air- lines has a strong pres- ence in the Midwest, the carrier ultimately could join U.S. Airways at SRQ to fill the void created when AirTran pulls out. But that's just what airport officials had in mind when Southwest acquired AirTran in a similar merger last year. Instead, the carrier noti- fied SRQ on Jan. 20 that it will discontinue all local service by August. Airport CEO Rick Pic- colo said SRQ can't afford the same thing to hap- pen with U.S. Airways. "We have not been a big winner in mergers," Piccolo said. "Because we don't have American Air- lines now it could create an opportunity, but that's exactly what I thought with Southwest." AirTran told Piccolo that it would be pulling out of SRQ by Aug. 12 to concentrate on exist- ing Southwest service in Tampa and Fort Myers. The decision strips the airport of nearly one- third of its total passen- ger carriage, creating an estimated $1.2 million yearly hole. The merger that triggered the entire sequence of events has become a common theme in the industry of late. Take the last three years alone: Delta bought Northwest Airlines in 2008, United merged with Continental in 2010 and Southwest acquired AirTran last year. Two decades ago, more than 25 full-service domestic carriers were operating in the U.S. Three recessions, rising fuel prices and vola- tile travel habits have shrunk that number down to just seven, Piccolo said. The industry downsiz- ing has taken its toll on airports in smaller to mid-size markets across the country. SRQ was the latest to feel the pain, joining as many as 15 other airports where AirTran will stop service this year, experts predict. "It's been a problem at a lot of airports," Piccolo said. "Nobody's closing, but we've seen things really shrink." Since the grim news, Piccolo has had conver- sations with a number of potential replacements and existing airlines, including U.S. Airways, which now represents about 15 percent of the airport's total passengers. The American Airlines merger never came up in those discussions, he said. Because Southwest is the largest carrier in Tampa, its situation here is a little different from that of U.S. Airways and American. Once Southwest purchased AirTran, the company realized it just couldn't continue most of AirTran's flights profit- ably, said Michael Boyd, an aviation consultant. With 1.3 million pas- sengers walking through the SRQ terminal last year, local demand still remains also making it more unlikely oth- ers will follow AirTran's withdrawal. "This merger is still 18 months down the road if anything; nothing is imminent at all," Boyd said. "Even if it were to happen, I don't think you're looking at any I FEATURED PROPERTY \ 1 FEATURED PROPERTY downgraded service at SRQ." The airport authority has bolstered its incen- tives to lure a new suitor. County officials also may explore the idea of offer- ing a financial package, like the one used to first draw AirTran several years ago. "It's worth looking into and something we will probably have to dis- cuss," Manatee County Commissioner Larry Bustle said. "I just can't predict whether something like that will happen given our budget, and the other priorities we have."

This week, Wedler- Johnson and Kathy Walker, SCF's director of public affairs and marketing, gave a tour of the campus including some exciting new devel- opments to members of the local media. The tour, which ranged from the Emerging Tech- nology labs to outdoor teaching spaces some students take an airboat onto the campus' lake to study ecology and art studios, highlighted how the campus is growing and adapting to both technological advances and the changing market. "It's got to be an evolu- tion," Wedler-Johnson said. "One of the things that has always driven this campus is an inno- vative spirit." More than 2,000 stu- dents attend classes at the Venice campus each semester. More than half are women, and a large percentage of them are juggling families and multiple jobs, Wedler- Johnson said. Adrienne Gould- Choquette, director of the Emerging Technology Students take a hand-drafting class in the SCF computer- assisted design lab Tuesday. SUN PHOTO BY ANNE KLOCKENKEMPER, annek@sun-herald.com Victoria Ramirez, lab assistant in SCF's Science Department, points out the"lab in a box." SCF is partnering with both North Port High School and Sarasota High School they were at NPHS this week to bring more advanced science, including examining DNA profiles with the help of electrophoresis, into high school classrooms. program, said a lot of what goes on in the two newest degree programs - Associate in Science in Engineering Technology and Associate in Science in Construction Manage- ment is "cutting-edge." "Students, whatever their minds can imagine, we can make happen," she said, pointing out equipment, including a three-dimensional cutter that on Tuesday was form- ing a key clip that can attach to a belt, designed by an SCF student. Much of the equip- ment the same as used by manufacturers, Gould-Choquette said, enabling students to obtain real-world experi- ence has come to the school through grants. Wedler-Johnson said robotics equipment also will be coming to SCF Venice this spring. In the Science Depart- ment, professors are partnering with Sarasota and Manatee county high schools to encourage more students to pursue STEM science, tech- nology, engineering and math careers by provid- ing a "lab in a box," said SCF Science Lab Assistant Victoria Ramirez. "They're at North Port High School this week, in five separate classes," she said, study- ing DNA profiles using electrophoresis. SCF also will play host to a STEM Summit on Feb. 18 for area middle and high school stu- dents, who will spend time studying water taken from the lake on campus, launching potatoes into the air and examining DNA profiles. "They'll be extract- ing their own DNA," Wedler-Johnson said, via cheek swabs, "and they get a necklace to wear it around their necks." The tour also went through classrooms devoted to paralegal classes complete with shelves of law books; SCF's Alternative Teacher SCF freshman Megan Brown, of North Port, works on a tree sculpture she molded out of clay in one of SCF's art studios. Certification program taught by practicing teachers; and nursing labs, where students have the opportunity to work with simulated patients that, run by air compressors, give birth, have high blood pressure and suffer from other disorders.

SARASOTA COUNTY LAUNCHES ONLINE VENDOR REGISTRATION SYSTEM Vendors who want to do business with Sarasota County will be able to use a new, simplified online procurement system beginning in March. The eProcure system will replace the current online service with a free, single website for Sarasota County solicitations, policies, procedures and forms. Vendors who register with eProcure will be automatically notified when bids are issued that potentially match their qualifications. A major advantage to the new system is that vendors may claim local preference when they register instead of completing stringent preference guidelines each time they submit a solicitation. eProcure registration will take place during March and April, and vendors must register to do business with Sarasota County. Vendors may continue to register after April, but they will not be notified about bids until they complete registration. The county procurement department expects to begin posting solicitations in May. For more information, contact the Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000 and ask about eProcure.

Reid, who succeeded former county administra- tor Jim Ley on Jan. 23, sent an email to employees that included a letter updat- ing them on his getting- to-know-you activities, a memo that stakes out his vision for the county and a copy of a poster that highlights the importance of ethical behavior. Reid's hiring came in the wake of multiple investigations into county purchasing practices. Ten county employees, includ- ing Ley, lost their jobs after a county employee was arrested in March for official corruption. In the letter, Reid says "integrity and ethics are fundamental to our suc- cess." To that end, he has had a poster placed on the walls of multiple county buildings that shows an overturned basket of shiny red apples that includes one bad apple and the caption, "Ethics matter: One bad apple can spoil the whole bushel." The poster was created as part of a campaign he spear- headed to promote ethics years ago for the Florida City and County Manage- ment Association. "Just like the rotten apple in the attached poster sitting in the midst of a bushel of beauti- ful red ones diminishes the perceived quality of the rest of the bushel, so does the acts of a minor- ity of employees diminish the image of all public employees," Reid wrote. "Ethical conduct builds credibility, both within and without the organiza- tion. Credibility is essential to trust. A permanent personal commitment by every employee and a continuous corporate focus on ethical conduct will allow Sarasota to excel and restore its position as a premier local government." Reid carries that theme forward in the attached memo, as he states: Sarasota County will be the premier county government in Florida. The county will be known as an innovative, progressive leader in the provision of cost-effective county services. It will be known as "the employer of choice." It will success- fully engage residents and employees in decision-making. Other jurisdictions will judge their progress against that of Sarasota County. The memo lists Reid's vision of goals for county employees and citizens as well as county commissioners. "Mr. Reid has drafted a well-thought-out series of goals that create an ideal vision," Commissioner Nora Patterson said. "In better fiscal times we were closer to these goals than we are today. An unfortu- nate failure in supervision in some areas has taken us further from realizing top-quality services and full trust in staff." Said Chair Christine Robinson: "I believe in this vision and will support Mr. Reid in any way I can to achieve these goals." "I found it to be an excellent analysis and a good description of expec- tations," added Com- missioner Joe Barbetta. Commissioner Jon Thax- ton said Ley introduced "similar documents, but not exactly like this one." Email: escott@sun-herald.com Counties oppose Medicaid change By ED SCOTT STAFF WRITER Rather than send coun- ties a bill for disputed and unpaid Medicaid claims, the state may start docking the counties' "paycheck." A proposal in Tallahas- see could cost Sarasota County up to $6.1 million. In what Sarasota County Commission Chair Chris- tine Robinson called an "unfair" effort to resolve Medicaid billings, the pro- posal would require coun- ties to pay 85 percent of unpaid Medicaid claims, according to Heather Wildermuth, Health and Human Services advocate with the Florida Associa- tion of Counties in Talla- hassee, who revealed the costs to the county. Counties have worked with the Agency for Health Care Administration "for years to rectify erroneous billing information with- out success," Robinson wrote state Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice. "The proposed language would merely settle the dispute to AHCAs advantage." These disputed bills - the state bills counties for a portion of every Medicaid- eligible county resident in a nursing home, as well as the per diem cost for a cer- tain number of inpatient hospital days would be withheld from counties' revenue sharing (a portion of sales and cigarette taxes) for three to five years. Robinson urged Detert and other members of the Sarasota County Legisla- tive Delegation to "not balance the state budget at the expense of counties." The state became able to see old, unpaid bills in 2008, when it switched to a new computer sys- tem. State officials say the four-year statute of limita- tions on unpaid Medicaid claims is not applicable. The original proposal the FAC shared with its members about two weeks ago had counties paying 75 percent of the disputed bills that have accrued during the past four years. That original proposal removed the state's obliga- tion to work with the coun- ties to determine a patient's residency, but maintained the basic billing system for counties to make pay- ments to the state. Rather than bill the counties for unpaid Medicaid claims, the new proposal will allow the state to withhold counties' half-cent sales tax distri- bution in the amount they owe each month, "without giving us the opportu- nity to review those bills to see if they should or should not be paid," said Rik Jimison, a Sarasota County human services business professional. Counties able to dem- onstrate that a recipient is not a resident can apply to the state for a refund. In 2010-11, Sarasota County disallowed 34 per- cent of the state's billings - $1,447,158 most often due to incorrect res- idency information, such as the residence address not being in the county or the address belong- ing to a nonresidential building such as a state agency, attorney's office or the county courthouse, City poised to drop short-term rental ordinance By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR Staff is recommend- ing Venice City Council rescind its resort dwelling ordinance, adopted in 2009 to prohibit short- term rentals. Citing substantial past and potential future litigation costs, Act- ing City Manager Alan Bullock brought forth the recommendation. The law hasn't been enforced since March 2011. Instead, the city plans to rely on existing code enforcement and law enforcement in order to regulate issues such as noise, nuisances, sign issues, parking and accu- mulation of debris. According to public records, the city has spent $709,000 on attor- ney and consultant fees to develop the ordinance and defend it. On Dec. 30 the Second District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the city in City ofVenice v. Martha Gwynn. Gwynn, who owns a rental unit, argued her rental agreements were entered into prior to the ordinance going into effect and therefore she shouldn't be found in violation. In 2006 Stephen Milo and owners of 13 vaca- tion rental properties challenged a city zoning determination that stated the rentals are prohibited. In 2008 Judge Robert Bennett ruled the city development code didn't prohibit such rentals. The city could adopt one; it simply hadn't. A year later the city put a new ordinance into effect banning the rentals, and entered into a settlement agreement will the Milo plaintiffs. But two more lawsuits followed, with the threat of more to come. Council will likely make a final determina- tion whether to keep the ordinance or rescind it at Tuesday's meeting at city hall. Robinson wrote.

ERENE ROMANSKI L-nr4,-inr~i2L TnLi According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, approximately two million whiplash claims are filed annually. Neck injuries are the most commonly reported crash-related injury. In particular, whiplash injuries result from the rapid snapping back of a person's head during a collision. These injuries, which can occur at crash speeds as low as ten miles per hour, hyperextend the neck and damage nerves and ligaments, often resulting in pain and lack of mobility. The best way to prevent a whiplash injury is to position your vehicle's head restraint so that the top of your ear horizontally aligns with a point in the middle of the head restraint, no more than three inches away from the back of your head. : [ ONDA &FR[ID IA Y7:3:05: :0 *TU EDYIii I, 91 "/: I :110- W E D N S D A 9 : 0 -6 : 0 o S A T R D A Y 9 :0 -1 2 0 0 A',, TWIN PALMS .

LUNCH & DINNER & FULL LIQUOR 405 US HWY 41 BYPASS N 941-412-4044 MON -SUN 11am WEEKEND EDITION FEBRUARY 11,2012 Robinson pushes to boost incentive fund By CAROL SAKOWITZ STAFF WRITER Sarasota County Com- mission Chair Christine Robinson went to North Port last week to stump for a proposal that would put $6 million in sav- ings into the county's Economic Development Incentive Fund. Robinson said the county had saved the $6 million last fiscal year, and county commis- sioners have at least two choices regarding the funds: first, return them to the county's General Fund to help close a budget gap projected for fiscal year 2015; or, second, reallocate them into the incentive fund. Robinson pushed for the latter during a meeting of the government relations committee of the North Port Area Chamber of Commerce held at City Hall. Only $635,900 is left in the incentive fund, which was created after the county benefited from the sale of North Port lots sold for tax deeds during the last decade. The original amount was $2 million, but since then two other infusions of repurposed money from the vacated, or tax-abandoned, lots sale have occurred, according to Jeff Maultsby, county business and economic development manager. Almost $3.7 million was put into the fund in May 2010, Maultsby said Friday, and another $5 million was added last October. North Port is one of 32 businesses or nonprof- its that have benefited from the incentive fund. In June 2009, the city received $100,000 for its revolving small-business loan fund. Two years later, another $30,000 was allocated to pay for the city's economic development strategic plan update. The Adams Group, located off Toledo Blade Boulevard, received $300,000 for an expan- sion of its cabinetry business. The company promised to provide 102 new jobs within five years, with an average wage of almost $46,000. Robinson said 845 jobs were realized in South County through the incentive funds program. Asked how companies could be directed toward North Port, she said where a business locates is its decision. Robinson said she brought her proposal to the chamber group to ask for its input and sup- port so companies could be able to thrive in the county. "Six million dollars makes a bold state- ment," Robinson said. "(It means the county) is darn serious about eco- nomic incentives." Calling for support, she said, "Being involved in the process is very vital... people (heav- ily) supporting this is important." Robinson asked com- mittee members to come to the 9 a.m. Feb. 23 county commission budget workshop at the county Administration Center in Sarasota to support increasing the incentive fund. "It's an interesting dilemma: Put it in the budget or economic incentive," county School Board Chair Caroline Zucker said. Turning to Robinson, she said, "You have your work cut out for you." Sam Jones, former county planning com- missioner, said an unintended consequence of the incentive fund could be to drive away venture capitalists (who typically finance startups and innovative proj- ects). Robinson said she doesn't think so because "the awards are not sig- nificant enough."

The shift to an online system was announced last April but was delayed while improve- ments were made to the county's purchas- ing program. The new system will eliminate internal redundan- cies, improve reporting capabilities for vendor contracts and reduce the county's environ- mental footprint by sav- ing vendors the cost of preparing and printing submittal materials. EProcure registration will take place during March and April, and vendors must register to do business with the county. They may con- tinue to register after April but they will not be notified about bids until they do so.

Many NewWavers expect to move when their working days are done, and they want good weather, reason- able housing costs and access to good health care, according to the survey. In other words, as far as we see that means their attitudes and expecta- tions are more or less in line with their parents' generation. Or, it may be that the style is a little different, but the substance isn't. The poll was conducted last November by the well-respected Mason-Dixon Polling & Research firm for the nonprofit Consumer Federa- tion of the Southeast. In all, 1,100 people ages 47-65 were surveyed. Of those living in the eastern half of the U.S., excluding Florida, all said they were considering a move out of state when they retired. Overall, 36 percent said the weak economy was delaying their retire- ment. That broke down to 42 percent in the 47-56 age group, but only 25 percent of those ages 57 to 65. Per- haps more surprising, 54 percent said the economy had no effect on their plans: The "no effect" number was lower for the younger group (50 per- cent) and higher for the older (59 per- cent) group closer to the magic Social Security years. When it came to the factors that mattered most in making their thinking, climate ranked the highest (35 percent combined first or second choice.) The cost of housing was next (30 percent), followed by quality of health care (27 percent), being near the ocean and beaches (22 percent), local taxes (19 percent) and services for seniors (also 19 percent). One-quarter wanted a four-season climate and 21 percent wanted to live somewhere warm and sunny through- out the year. A little more than half liked it warm, "but with some cooler months." Whatever their preference, only 15 percent said climate was not important. We'll also note that 40 per- cent didn't care about proximity to beaches, although 59 percent did, at least "somewhat." We'll take that as a glass more than half full. As far as intensity of opinion is concerned, quality of health care clob- bered all other categories as "very important" (66 percent, with another 30 percent rating it "somewhat impor- tant"), followed by cost of housing (55 percent), climate and taxes (both 49 percent.) Most wanted a mid- sized city (40 percent) or small town (32 percent). And then, nearly six in 10 said they were likely to buy a home. What we take from this is that with all the talk of generational differ- ences and shifts in attitudes, baby boomers may not be that far apart from their parents when it comes to retirement expectations. They don't want to fight harsh winters, but are looking for a welcoming climate. They want to get a good deal on a house and not pay a ton of taxes. They also want to make sure they have hospitals and doctors who will keep them well. Given the sheer numbers of expected retirees in the coming decade-plus, it means better days are on the horizon for our economy. The poll noted 18 percent of respondents thought of Florida as a "top relocation destination." Do the math: We're look- ing at perhaps a fifth of the 75 million- strong baby boom generation thinking about Florida as a possible retirement destination. The wave is expected to build with the demographic bulge in the next 10 years. This type of survey should help us focus on what outsiders want and what insiders have to offer. It's all here. It should help us set priorities, guide planning and give us reason to be optimistic about the long- term health of Southwest Florida's economy. Habitat: 20 years, jfli^HR~ Maryann Terry Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County Inc. is turning 20 years old this year. Since 1992 Habitat has built new homes or rehabilitated foreclosed properties for more than 79 families, seniors and veterans in the communities of Osprey, Laurel, Nokomis, Venice, Englewood and North Port. This national affiliate has its sights on its 100th home by the year 2015. Why, you ask? If you haven't noticed, we live in paradise a sun- drenched oasis with the best weather in the world that attracts retirees of all ages and those who have had it with the brutal cold of the northern states. These aspects create diverse economic layers in our communities that reflect the supply and demand of services within our seasons. Tourists and retirees alike want the most bang for their buck. So when our winter sea- son is riding high, most service people are working long hours. Then after three months or so the visitors head home, leaving our service workers with fewer people to serve. Their hours get cut and their paychecks go down but their bills remain the same. Wages for service workers locally are minimal compared to northern states, and these folks are cost burdened with high rents compared to their income, so they have a hard time getting ahead. Most folks in these situations have never been able to own a home or qualify for a mortgage due to these barriers, yet they work hard and add to our tax base as best they can. Habitat's mission is to work in partnership with local people in need of affordable housing, to help provide them 79 homes with the tools to achieve it. Habitat tools are not just ham- mers and skill saws; our tools are education, self empower- ment, awareness and hope. Not everyone is eligible for Habitat's Affordable Housing Program. Not everyone can handle 300 hours of sweat equity on a construction site or at our ReStore learning new skills in building their home along with others'. Applicants are required to attend finan- cial education classes, good neighbor classes and home- ownership classes to prepare them for a 30-year no-interest mortgage payback to Habitat. All this takes about a year to complete but the reward of building your own home and owning it is irreplaceable. Whom does Habitat accept in this program? Families, seniors and veterans who are in need of an affordable home and can partner with Habitat to build, save and commit to the program rules. First, they must be within the HUD 2012 income guide- lines for those in the 30-80 per- cent average income range for our area. Second, they go through a credit check with counseling and extensive inter- views with our family selection committee, which reports its findings to the board of direc- tors for approval. Once approved, the work begins and the hopes of a better world take over. Most of these new homeowners have never owned a home before. The security and sense of ownership that swells within them from Habitat's experiences not only builds a new home that adds to our area's tax base, but it adds to the strength of our partners and progresses on through their and their children's futures. Come volunteer for a day and see and touch our mission. We have many ways to help spread hope in our communi- ties.

When I read that Venice doesn't haven't anything for teenagers, it made my blood boil. We go to every home volley- ball game and many basketball games in Venice and the teenag- ers you refer to are not there supporting their classmates. Oh, you will see 10 or 15 in the stands, and oh yes, the five cheerleaders are there sitting on their hands in the stands. Maybe it's because they get in free. Why even cheer if there are only 10 or 15 kids spread out throughout the gymnasium? If one were given a program, at least we could learn the names of those to cheer for. The spirit is really lacking. Poor teenagers. Refocus. About the close prox- imity of the Circus Arena to the airport: If you're worried about a solid steel building getting hit by a jet coming and going, how about worrying about the hun- dreds of homes there, the Venice Pier, Sharky's and the golf club. Instead of trying to downplay or discourage people from trying to save the Circus Arena, how about looking for all the enjoy- ment it would create and activi- ties in Venice for everybody? Left-lane lovers. All year round you can discover the car that is a left-lane lover. Left- lane lovers are a strange breed, hogging passing lanes they don't need, headed for some place well out of sight, ignoring courtesy, slowest keep right. They're rigidly programmed in place and weave along at a snail's pace, with turn signals not what they seem and baffled by traffic lights of green, They pick the busiest roads in town to pull right out and then slow down. And you'll need a calendar to time unexpected turns as they pull out of line. See blinking lights from their brakes; they're scared to death, for heaven's sake. During hectic rush hour you will find them Let 'em Have It herding with others of their kind. Be patient, please don't cuss or pant, these cars are just unaware or ignorant. Enough Ed. Is the Venice Gondolier so desperate that it gives more than 20 inches of space to former Mayor Ed Martin to express his views on various issues and actions of city council? I think the elector- ate voted that it longer wanted Ed Martin and his colleagues to be on city council and in charge of the city. I think that Mayor Holic and other council members have done very well in addressing the issues that have been left behind and things they were stuck with, particularly the $3 million that Ed Martin and friends spent on various lawsuits that were extremely ill advised. I would appreciate it if the Venice Gondolier would no longer give Ed Martin the access that he's had. Perhaps occasion- ally would be fitting, just like any other citizens, and limited to 200 words or less. Wrong way. Water and sewer rates: Venice (proposed) $71.19; Palmetto $36.54; Naples $39.95 Why? Something is wrong in Venice. I suspect Palmetto, Naples, etc., all have old pipes. Perhaps we should recruit water people from Palmetto and Naples. Our folks must be too fat and happy. Rates should be going down, not up. Hurry up. I think the Cir- cus Arena should be rebuilt. That floor in there has housed circuses with elephants, and you know what? There's not one crack in that cement floor. The structure is excellent, and we need it. I've been here for 35 years and I miss the circus and the fun that it brings to this community. We need some- thing like that because of all the other venues that it would bring would not be in competition with the performing arts center. It would be an addition and I am for it so let's get going! Cheated. I think the question about utility rates should be why are the utility rates going up, not whether they're fair or not. Let's talk about how fair it was to the condo corpora- tions when the city cheated the condo corporations out of millions of dollars. Maybe that's something that the Venice Gon- dolier should be investigating. The Let'em Have It line allows readers to sound off on issues of local interest.

( WEEKEND EDITION FEBRUARY 11, 2012 Solving the world's problems with STEM The United States is losing ground in educa- tion as peers across the globe race ahead with bigger gains in student achievement and gradu- ation rates. More sig- nificant, we have fallen behind many developing nations in our rate of innovation. Technology has always been a driving force of economic and social growth. This is why the fastest-growing, highest-paying jobs are in the fields of science, technology, engineer- ing and math, or STEM. These are the building blocks that drive tech- nology innovation, and fields like computing, artificial intelligence and robotics, bioinformatics, nanotechnology and oth- ers are fundamental to progress now and in the decades to come. Thus, it is imperative that we focus on STEM education to remain competitive. But it's more than just proficiency in math and science. We need to teach our students how to solve problems, think cre- atively and engage with new technology. There is a major structural problem with education today. Our current model, many hundreds of years old, is basically a push system. We gather students into a classroom and essen- tially shovel information into them, while their thoughts are on the next break period. Yet today we have profoundly better understanding of pedagogical techniques, neural retention and group dynamics. We're starting to see the transformation of education from a push model to a pull model. In the same way we "pull" information off the Internet as we need it, I strongly believe educa- tion will move to a pull model, where students can simply pull differ- ent pieces of learning as needed. This will result in bite-sized, action- oriented educational formats that allow us to take in new learning on an ongoing basis. Three years ago, we launched Singularity University, a nonprofit institution funded by companies that value innovation, like Autodesk, Google, Cisco, Nokia and Genentech. Hosted at the NASA Research Park in the heart of Silicon Val- ley, SU aims to bring together the smartest, most ambitious and most accomplished young leaders in the world; teach them the state of the art and future of the fastest- growing technologies; and point them at humanity's grand chal- lenges clean water, the financial crisis, hunger, energy, poverty and public health. It has proved to be a potent crucible. We think two unique aspects of our model at SU will spread. First, we have created a near real-time curriculum development process - several times a year we revisit our curriculum to constantly curate the latest breakthroughs in these accelerating fields. Second, we focus on the future rather than the past about 80 per- cent of the curriculum focuses on the future, in fact. And naturally, companies want to hire workers who can not only adapt to change, but also help define it. Peter Diamandis, our chair and co-founder, is fond of saying, "The best way of predicting the future is to create it yourself." We've seen, over the last 30 years, dramatic acceleration in com- puters getting faster, smaller, cheaper and better. In about another decade, a $1,000 laptop will have the equivalent computing power of a human brain; and in 40 years, the equivalent of all human brains. That dramatic acceleration is driving remarkable prog- ress in many other fields. At SU, we arm our students with awareness of the impact of these accelerating technolo- gies. We look at what is in labs today and what could be commercial- ized tomorrow. We ask students to design a product or service that will positively affect 1 billion people in 10 years. In our three years, we've launched about 25 such ideas and are see- ing some extraordinary outcomes. I have been invited by Gulf Coast Community Foundation to speak as a part of STEMsmartWeek. I also will address 220 students at a STEMsmart Summit, where they will take part in a full day of interactive sessions that demonstrate the real- world applications of their science, technology, engineering and math studies. Getting young people excited about STEM and preparing them to lead in these fields is essential. We know that exponen- tially growing tech- nologies will massively increase human capabil- ity and fundamentally reshape our future. As our other co-founder, Ray Kurzweil, has noted, 10 years ago we barely used cellphones, search engines or social net- works. How different is the world today, and what will it look like in another 10 years? Thinking bigger, we need a new generation to manage exponentially growing technologies to solve the world's prob- lems. Singularity Univer- sity is a great start, but a serious approach to STEM education is where it all begins. Salim Ismail is the founding executive director and current global ambassador of Singularity University.

Also, black America should also demand to know, as it is also their country and they are paying taxes for all of this. Richard C.

Fax: 941-485-3036 j I WEEKEND EDITION FEBRUARY 11,2012 High court upholds King death sentence By ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH STAFF WRITER Calling Denise Amber Lee's murder "unquestionably cold and cruel," the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday upheld Michael King's death sentence. The court concluded the heinousness of King's January 2008 murder of the 21-year-old mother of two young boys war- ranted the death penalty. "We are in complete agree- ment with the trial court that the death sentence is pro- portionate in this case," the Supreme Court opinion states. Last fall, the court called the argument that Lee was killed by anyone other than King, now 40, "preposterous" during his initial appeal. Florida law pro- vides an automatic appeal in all capital murder cases. At trial the defense argued someone else shot Lee, while investigators said she was abducted from her North Port home, raped and murdered by King on Jan. 17, 2008. Proof that Lee was in King's green Camaro included a ring given to her by her husband, Nathan, and hair strands and blood she left behind. King was captured later that night near where Lee's body was found off of Toledo Blade Boulevard. He was found guilty following a trial in August 2009 at the Sarasota County Courthouse. In December 2009, 12th Circuit Judge Deno Economou sen- tenced King to death. King's attorneys filed an appeal in 2010, pointing to self- employed handyman Robert Salvador, an acquaintance of King's, as another suspect. The pair had gone to a gun range in Nokomis together before the kidnapping. When investiga- tors arrived at Salvador's Venice home at 2 a.m., he initially wasn't truthful about being with King that day for fear his wife would be angry with him because she didn't like King. King's attorneys claimed that although the shell casings at the gun range came from the same firearm used to kill Lee, King was not the shooter - instead, it could have been Salvador. The murder weapon was never found. Arguing the appeal, Assistant Public Defender Steven Bolotin of Bartow focused on Salva- dor as a possible shooter and how King's defense at trial was hampered in its efforts to show the jury how Salvador figured in the killing, but did not con- vince the state Supreme Court. The court determined King "acted alone" in killing Lee. "What's the better inference? That a person (Salvador) who doesn't tell everything they know right away to police at (2 a.m.) would randomly go shoot somebody?" the opinion states. "Or would a reasonable inference be the person that would abduct somebody and rape them and bring them in their car and do the things that Michael King did, that they are the one who would kill the person?" King's appeal also challenged the state's use of 911 calls as evidence during his trial. "Rarely is a court able to experience firsthand what a deceased victim encountered," the opinion states of Lee's desperate 911 call from inside King's Camaro when he left the car to borrow a gas can and shovel from his cousin. A bound and blindfolded Lee found King's cellphone and tried to tell a 911 dispatcher who she was and where she lived without King realizing it, but he quickly returned to the car. "In this case, anyone who listens to the 911 call placed by Denise Lee will hear the abject terror she was experiencing plus her panicked, frantic pleas to the 911 dis- patcher (for help) and King (to be returned home)." Denise Lee's father-in-law, Mark Lee, said Thursday. "Judge Economou did an exemplary job in conducting this case, and obviously the Supreme Court agreed." Email: eallen@sun-herald.com Partygoer arrested in sexual battery of dancer A Trexlertown, Pa., man, Robert M. Fritz, was arrested this week in a sexual battery that occurred ob almost three years Sago. S Fritz was one of TZ seven men visiting from out-of-state at a home located in the 1800 block San Trovaso Way, Venice, when the inci- dent occurred. According to a prob- able cause affidavit from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office: On March 27, 2009, a man residing at the home hired a 42-year- old female dancer. He prepared three drinks for her throughout the evening, deputies said. After a few hours, four of the men went out to a local bar to play pool. Soon afterward the vic- tim attempted to leave. She recalled walking to her vehicle when she was grabbed from behind and a cloth was placed over her mouth. She remembers a man forcibly having sex with her. She described a second male holding her during the attack. The next day she awoke in the living room wearing only panties and boots. She felt like she had been drugged, according to the report. She gathered her clothing and drove home. She went to Health Park Hospital in Fort Myers, where a sexual assault kit confirmed the injuries and presence of someone else's DNA. Five of the eight men at the party provided DNA samples voluntarily and were eventually excluded as the source. Court orders were issued to obtain DNA samples from the other three. Fritz' DNA matched the profile. After failed attempts to contact Fritz, detectives said he hired an attorney who made contact with the SCSO. "The evidence in this case corroborates the victim's statement and recollection of events," wrote a deputy in the report. "The victim's documented physical injuries, the medical opinion (and) the labora- tory work all support the victim's account of forced sexual battery, or at the very least the victim was incapable of consent- ing due to drugging or intoxication. "The suspect's refusal to provide informa- tion or cooperate with investigators has only provided more credibility to reported events." Fritz was arrested Feb. 9. His bond will be set by a judge. I POLICE BEAT The information for Police Beat is gathered from police, sheriff's office, Florida Highway Patrol, jail and fire records. Not every arrest leads to a conviction. Guilt is determined by the courtsystem. Venice woman charged in home invasion Sheriff's office detec- tives say a Venice woman and her boyfriend devised a drug deal, then robbed FC d the victim. According to an SCSO report: The vic- MARTIN tim (a South resident) was visit- ing friends at a home on Marcia Street in Sarasota when two LEAR men came from a wooded area behind the home and confronted him with a large butcher knife. They forced him into the house, where they took his wallet con- taining approximately $3 and his baseball hat, then fled out the front door. He was unharmed. The men were seen leaving the scene in a small green Toyota owned by a Venice woman. She later showed deputies where the knife was tossed. Thomas O. Martin- Cocci, 22, a transient, and Elyse Lear, 24, 800 block Constance Road, Venice, were arrested and charged with rob- bery with a weapon and criminal mischief. They received no bond.

The Indians, who took nine into regionals, had an up-and-down day, according to coach Dan Kelly. Venice doesn't have any wrestlers in the championship semifinals but will still have five wrestling in the consolations. The semifinal round begins at 10 a.m. today while the Indians will begin their matches at 12:30 in the third round of consolations. Remaining alive for Venice were Zach Kelly (106 pounds), Bryce Balsinger (120), CJ Trammell (138), Garrett Johnson (195) and Quinton O'Brien (285). Kelly scored a pin in the first round but then lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision. He came back in the consolations with a 12-2 victory. Balsinger dropped his first match but cruised in his next two matches. Trammell picked up a forfeit in the first round then lost, but won in the consolations. Johnson grabbed a first-round victory but dropped a 5-3 decision in the quarterfinals. In the consola- tions, he won by forfeit. O'Brien received a forfeit win in the first round then lost, but came back with a victory. Eliminated for the Indians were Matt Parker (113), Larsen Ullrich (145), Jacob Stubbs (152) and Tommy Carello (220). All of these wrestlers won at least one match on Friday.

SHORTS115 BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 7A-DISTRICT 11 TOURNAMENT Venice falls to Braden River By PERRY D. PENTZ SPORTS EDITOR Venice coach James Slaton thought his team needed to play at the top of its game to pull off a victory in the Class 7A-District 11 championship on Friday night at Braden River High. The Indians had match-up troubles with Braden River's two big players and point guard, especially in the second half, as the Pirates notched a 68-56 vic- tory to claim the district title. Venice (17-10) will continue in the postseason as the Indians play the District 12 champion from the other coast Thurs- day in the Class 7A-Region 3 quarterfinals. "What I told our guys is only 32 teams in the state are still playing and you are one of them," said Slaton. "Some- thing to be proud of. We got an opportunity and have the same opportunity as Braden River has come Thursday. Our kids are hungry and will come back ready to play." This is the first time Ven- ice has played in the district championship since 2007; it's the ninth time in school history the Indians will compete in the postseason. "I thought they played really well," said Slaton. "I've seen them on film a ton, scouted them and we played them twice. I think we got their A+ game tonight. They played clean, made shots, finished at the rim, made free throws. We played hard. I thought we didn't play as clean as we would have had to play to beat them. I thought we were capable of beating them but we needed to play an A+ game ourselves." GONDOLIER PHOTO BY JUSTIN FENNELL Venice's Devin Cruz-Klein scores on a reverse layup under the basket as Braden River's Tre Bryant, right, watches. Braden River used a big second half to capture the Class 7A-District 11 championship Friday at Braden River. Venice hung tough with the much larger Pirates, who start 6-foot-6 senior Jeff Casseus and 6-foot-5 junior Trevon Young. They took care of Braden River's inside game while senior Tre Bryant controlled the perimeter. Venice only trailed 25-20 at halftime and got within 34-30 with 4:22 left in the third quarter on a layup by senior Zach Flerlage, who led Venice with 17 points. Braden River (22-4) outscored Venice 10-4 the rest of the quar- ter to grab a 44-34 cushion. Bryant closed out the scoring in the quarter with five points. The Pirates went on an 8-0 scoring run to open the fourth quarter and take a 52-34 lead. Bryant, who scored 11 of his game-high 20 points in the quarter, had five of the eight points in the run. "We got down and we had to spread them out," said Slaton. "They have finishers. They have guys who finish at the rim and guys that can make shots. They are a tough ball club. Young hauled in 10 of his 14 rebounds in the second half and scored nine points while Casseus chipped in 13 of his 15 points and five rebounds in the second half. Venice made the score respectable by hitting five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Junior Remy Hanewinckel came off the bench and scored 14 points with four 3-pointers. "We just never got on that roll that we needed to get on," said Slaton. In the first quarter, Venice kept it close as the Indians limited Bryant to two points and held Casseus scoreless. The Indians trailed 15-11 after one quarter but kept coming after the Pirates. With 1:25 left in the second quarter, junior Chris Hann sank a 3-pointer to tie it at 20-20. Braden River ended the quar- ter with a layup and 3-pointer by Austin Lee, who came off FALLS 15 GIRLS WEIGHTLIFTING Sandborn, Gostischa ready for states By PERRY D. PENTZ SPORTS EDITOR For Venice's Shana Sandborn and Ariel Gostischa, today's FHSAA Finals will be a different experience. For Sandborn, a 15-year-old sophomore, this is her second trip to states while Gostischa, a 17-year-old senior, is making her first trip. Although this part is different, the idea of going to states at the beginning of the year was something both had on their minds. "I was hopeful since my totals have gone up since last year," said Sandborn. "It's a different type of excitement. Last year, it was just the excitement of it being new. This year, it's the excitement of having done my best and knowing I get this reward for doing this." "I kind of did this year," said Gostischa about hav- ing qualifying for states as a goal. "I worked out all summer. I came into the season really high in my lifting." This is the ninth straight year Venice has had at least one state qualifier. "I share my passion with them," said Venice coach Nancy Tessier. "Two of the greatest kids. They are such nice girls. It's going to be so nice to be with them." Tessier has been Venice's only girls weight- lifting coach since the program started. "Ariel being her fourth year and a senior this year, I am really pleased she is with us," said Tessier. "Shana, to come back in her sophomore year, I would have been | my hips forward when SI was coming up," said Sandborn. "It has helped it go up 10 pounds." "When she pulled up, Sthe bar came in front of S .her," said Tessier. "Now A she throws her hips out SANDBORN GOSTISCHA and the bar comes out higher. She just wasn't really disappointed if she driving forward like she hadn't made it. I expect should have. It's just a her to be there all four technique thing. She was years because that is the doing it correctly she just kind of talent she is." wasn't catching it right." Sandborn said she will Sandborn isn't worried be more relaxed knowing about her finish at states. what to expect at states. "To me, I just like to "Still just as exciting get personal bests," said hough," said Sandborn, Sandborn. "I have two who attends Pine View more years to worry School in Osprey. Last year, Sandborn placed 17th overall in the 110-pound weight class with a 220-pound total - 110 pounds in the bench press and 110 pounds in the clean and jerk. "She's a little bit more driven," said Tessier. "She does a lot of other things. She plays piano and now the flute. She's in speech and debate. She's very talented in many ways. She seems more focused and interested and driven to do better in this sport. I think she's matured and sees the potential and has the competitive attitude anyway." This year, Sandborn is also lifting more. Sandborn, who is seeded 12th at states, has a best bench press of 115 pounds and 120 pounds in the clean and jerk. At states, she wants to get a 250-pound total with 125 in each. Over the last month, Sandborn has gone up in her clean and jerk weight thanks to a adjustment in her technique. "They told me to push about placing. I want to do my best." "I would expect her to do a personal best," said Tessier about Sand- born. "The last meet she competed in she had a lot of adrenaline at the qualifier. She was really psyched to do it. If she brings that same drive and same feeling to the state meet, she will do another personal best there because she wants it really bad." Sandborn is the lightest lifter in her weight class as she weighs 3.7 pounds less than any of the other 29 competitors. "Nobody will beat her by body weight," said Tes- sier. "She's in a great spot as far as tying goes." Ties go to the lighter competitor. Her teammate is equally motivated. "I just want to do the best I can do and hope- fully get at least fourth and set a new school record," said Gostischa. Gostischa enters states at the fifth seed at 119 pounds with her total of 255 pounds 140 in bench and 115 in clean and jerk, which she lifted in the Section 8 Qualifier. "Coming in seeded fifth, wow," said Tessier. "That is nice. We've never had that before. Placing would be fantastic as we have never got higher than fifth (place). She wants to get 145 in the bench and as high as 125 pounds in the clean and jerk." The highest finish ever at states for Venice is fifth place by Taylor Capasso and Emily Daniels in 2010. The top six places in each weight class receive medals. "After season last year, she went to the Venice Weightlifting Club, which FHSAA GIRLS WEIGHTLIFTING FINALS When: 10:30 a.m., today Where: Kissimmee Civic Center Cost: $9 (cash only) for admis- sion; $5 parking for cars and $10 for buses.

"She was training with clean and jerk and continued bench press- ing at the same time. She got serious last year and had her sights on for this year and made it." Gostischa's total in the bench is fourth best out of 30 qualifiers and just 5 pounds from second best. "That is awesome for a little girl who weighs 118 pounds," said Tessier. "To be benching your own body weight when you are a girl is substantial. It's competitive." "I mainly just focus on myself and do the best I can do," said Gostischa. "I'm pretty excited. It's going to be really crazy with really strong girls there."

Cruz-Klein scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter all on free throws as second- seeded Venice cruised to a 48-35 victory over No. 3 Sarasota in the Class 7A-District 11 semifinal Tuesday at Venice High. "It's the biggest game of the year, so I had to play big," said Cruz-Klein, who also led Venice with eight rebounds. "I just had to rise to the occasion. I never played in a stage as big as this, so it really got me going. Felt real good, especially in our gym and defending the court." His 12 points were one off his season-high of 13 set Dec. 7 in the fourth game of the season. It is also his first double- digit scoring game since Dec. 23.

Flerlage ended with a game-high 19 points as the Indians won 48-35 to advance to the district championship. "I thought he was the 'X' factor tonight," said Venice coach James Slaton. "Loose balls, rebounds at both ends of the floor and making his free throws late. That was as good as we can expect. I thought he really stepped up." The win advanced the Indians to the district championship at No. 1 Braden River. This is the third time the Indians have beaten the Sailors and their fourth trip to the district final since 2007. The Indians haven't won the district since 2009 when they set a school record with 27 wins and advanced to the regional final. "I really feel like we are playing our best ball at the right time of the year," said Slaton. "As a basketball coach that is what you want to play your best ball come tournament time. ... Our goal we set in the spring, summer workouts, was to compete for a district title. SomethingVenice can't say they have done a lot. We are there." The Indians have won eight of their last 10 games.

Venice held a 37-30 lead after three quarters, then decided to used its ability to make free throws to its advantage. The Indians brought the ball out and showed Sarasota their passing and dribbling skills. With that strategy, Venice chewed time off the clock and forced the Sailors into fouling to stop the clock and get possession. The Indians' defense was stellar also as they allowed just five points in the fourth quarter and none until 2:22 remaining. With Venice ahead 38-30, Sarasota began fouling and it was Cruz- Klein who had the ball in his hands. The 5-foot-11 guard sank three straight one-and-one foul situa- tions, then both ends of a double bonus to give Venice a 46-32 cushion. "We shoot tons of free throws every day at prac- tice, game days and even yesterday," said Cruz- Klein. "We shoot 50 to 100 every morning and 50 every practice. We aren't even allowed to leave the gym until we make six in a row."

"We are one of the top free-throw shooting teams," said Slaton. "We know that and it's some- thing we work on. Prob- ably this week alone we have shot 300 free throws. We feel like if we can get into a free-throw contest at the end of the game, we have a chance. As long as we take care of the ball and make our free throws, it's going to be difficult to come back from a seven-, eight- or nine-point lead on us." Venice only committed 13 turnovers and just five in the second half. In the first quarter, Ven- ice (17-9) trailed 7-6 with 2:56 left, then outscored the Sailors 6-2 the rest of the quarter for a 12-9 lead. Hurting Venice in the first quarter was the back-door cut and layup as the Sailors scored four baskets off the move. Venice led 14-13 with 5:16 left in the second quarter, then Venice senior Zach Flerlage took over for the Indians. Flerlage, who only had two points in the first quarter, scored 10 points in the second quarter over the final 3:50 to give Venice a 24-19 halftime cushion. Flerlage finished with a game-high 19 points. "He (Flerlage) was kind of hesitating and we were ball-screening for him some and he kind of hesi- tated and let the double- team come," said Slaton. "We talked about it at a timeout or at the end of the quarter for him to just turn the corner and go. He was quick enough and strong enough for him to get the rim and force them to foul him or him to finish." Venice limited Sarasota to 16 second-half points. The Indians held Sarasota's top two scor- ers, Tanner Weigand and Jacob Carter, to a com- bined 17 points. In con- secutive games, Weigand and Carter had scored 25 and 24 points each. "We really played lock-down defense the second half," said Slaton. "We rebounded and defended against a very, very stubborn Sarasota team about as well as you could."

"No one was here," John Boyer said. He is a longtime winter visitor from Michigan who was at the beach near Sharky's on the Pier recently. Celebrating its 25th anniversary tomorrow, Sharky's is in the midst of yet another expansion on a site that is far different from what it was in 1983. The pier had been severely damaged the previous year in the famous "No-name Storm," which did more damage to Venice than any hurricane before or since. It literally ripped the T-shaped end from the pier and waves came up over the sand and across the beach park- ing lot, nearly to Harbor Drive. Sharky's was not even a dream in the minds of Mike Pachota and Greg Novack, who also hap- pened to be from Michi- gan. Friends and gradu- ates of Michigan State University, they owned a restaurant called the Cozy Cafe in Plymouth. During Halloween season they also rented an empty storefront and sold Hal- loween merchandise. That was in the 1970s, and things were tough. The Halloween store was a win-win for them and for the owners of the oth- erwise empty stores. "We were one of the first in Michigan to do a one-month temporary store," Pachota said. Branching out, Novack headed to Florida, where he bid on some exist- ing restaurants in such places as Captiva and Punta Gorda and even as far away as Dania (near Fort Lauderdale) before making a successful bid on Patches, which Novack bought from Gary Patch about 1982 or 1983, Pachota said. Then, in 1986, bids were invited for a food operation at the Venice Fishing Pier. "When we got the bid, I was still in Michigan," Pachota said. "And he (Novack) was telling me the locals thought it was a risky deal 'cuz it was next to a sewage treatment plant. "Wayne Hall, a local attorney, wanted to call it 'Stinky's by the Pier.' If I had been here and listened to the people, I might not have gone ahead." But because he was in Michigan he simply asked Novack if the site was on SUN PHOTOS BY KIM COOL Signs direct visitors to the beach, the Venice Fishing Pier and Sharky's on the Pier Restaurant, which is undergoing its largest renovation in its 25-year history. Justin Pachota, after several years with Smokey Bones and a degree from the University of Central Florida, is a manager of Sharky's on the Pier. the beach, and the two built the kind of place they would have gone to at the beach. The first incarnation of Sharky's was a little 90-seat bar and restau- rant at the beach end of the "endless" fishing pier. Still close friends, the Pachotas and Novacks raised their children together, traveled together in the summer months and expanded their restaurant as the town grew and more and more visitors came to town. Novack started another restaurant, Joe Crackers, at the Port Charlotte Mall and last April Pachota became the sole owner of Sharky's. Let them eat cake Sunday, Sharky's will celebrate 25 years at the pier. "There will be a huge birthday cake and some original menu items will be marked down to the original prices," Pachota said. "We open at 11:30 a.m. and close at 10 p.m." Adding to the festivities will be some of the most popular entertainers who perform at Sharky's. B.C. Hathaway will perform from 2 to 4 p.m. and the Trinidudes will be there from 6 to 10 p.m. There will be crab races for the children from 4 to 6 p.m., Pachota said. Pachota said Sharky's also manages the fishing pier and runs Papa's Bait Shop there. "We are supposed to collect a pier fee but there is a bond for the pier," he said. "There is no fee to use the pier while the bond is being paid off." The name "Papa's" Mike Pachota, right, owner of Sharky's on the Pier in Venice, is shown with his grandson Jeremiah, 7. Jeremiah's father, Justin Pachota, is a manager at Sharky's. LOGO COURTESY OF SHARKY'S ON THE PIER Long involved with Habitat for Humanity, Mike Pachota provided food for workers and guests at the dedication of the Collins Road houses built by Habitat in 2008. honors his wife Donna's late stepfather, who lived in Venice for some 20 years. Donna is a nurse prac- titioner with Gulf Coast Medical Group-Venice Family Practice. She makes all the cheesecakes sold at Sharky's. She has even gone to school to learn more about cheese- cake, son Justin Pachota said. "For a health nut, she sure knows a lot about cheesecake," he said. Justin, a 2003 gradu- ate of the University of Central Florida, worked his way up in the Olive Garden restaurant chain finally being named man- ager of the Smokey Bones in Jacksonville. Earlier, he oversaw the opening of that brand's restaurants in Orlando and Lakeland. He is married to Cheri, who works at Panera Bread. Their son Jeremiah is 7 and daughter Ryela is 2. "At college I realized the restaurant business was what I wanted to do," Justin said. He is one of the 11 managers at Sharky's. Brother Nick, who was born in 1983, is a para- medic in Orlando. Valentine's Day Mike Pachota is the baby of his family, with two older brothers, Dave in Venice and Bob in Punta Gorda. As he was born on Valentine's Day, his middle name is Valentine. ByValentine's Day 2013, Sharky's will celebrate yet another expansion, although all the work may not be completed until the 2014 winter sea- son begins. New public bathrooms were the first part of what he said would be a $3 million project. The ribbon cut- ting was Friday. Utilities are in for the next phase, which begins when the winter tourist season ends. Pachota said in late summer they will begin construction of the new building, which will take the seating capacity up to 485 and feature a second-story restaurant space with panoramic views of the water. Increasing seating capac- ity from its present 399 also will mean more jobs for Venice. Presently the restaurant has 130 employees. Most work full time. Pachota said "a lot of the kitchen guys work two jobs." He has great respect for his wait staff. "Waiting tables 30 hours per work comes with a lot of mental anguish," he said. Pachota looks out for employees by matching up to 4 percent of their pay in a 401(k) plan. He also started a Christmas Club for them. "I make them put $10 a week into it," he said. "At Thanksgiving, I give it back to them with interest." He also offers employ- ees a low-cost health plan and gives them a free membership in the South County Family YMCA. Pachota splits his time between the restaurant and an off-site office where he watches over the corporation behind Sharky's, Pier Group. "We create a lot of tour- ist tax dollars," he said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast, Loveland Center and Children First. Two Loveland students are employed at Sharky's. "One has been with us for eight years and the other for 12 years," he said. "Donna was a Big Sister for five years. There's not a local charity around here we don't support, including the Cancer Soci- ety and Venice Theatre." The Pachotas are regu- lars in the audience at Venice Theatre, for both MainStage and Pinker- ton Theatre productions. He has taken employees there, to Warm Mineral Springs and to Tampa Bay Rays games, including the playoffs when 60 employ- ees held down the fort so everyone else could see a playoff game. Where once there was nothing but a damaged fishing pier, Venice now has one of its larger employers and one of its major tourist draws. Perhaps it is time to add a line to the timeline maintained by the Venice Archives on its website.

Sharky's and the 700-foot-long fishing pier are at 1600 South Har- bor Drive, on the island in Venice, on the way to Caspersen Beach. The only beachfront restaurant in Venice is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. The deck is open until midnight Friday and Saturday. There is entertainment most eve- nings. During season, the restaurant does not accept reservations except for holidays such as Valen- tine's Day. For a calendar of entertainment offerings and other specials, visit sharkysonthepier.com.

Previously scheduled for Feb. 11, the festi- val was postponed in order to accommodate a broader spectrum of writers, publishers and others in the literary field. Co-sponsored by the Venice Gondolier and Venice Magazine in conjunction with the Venice Arts and Liter- ary Society, the fair is expected to draw several thousand readers to the city to meet authors and publishers and to attend a variety of signature events at Venice Theatre on the day of the festival. There will be booths in Centennial Park along Nokomis Avenue between West Venice and West Tampa avenues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Popular local authors, publishers and others in the literary field will be in the booths to talk with visitors, sign books and sell books and related services. Would-be authors will be able to meet publish- ers, editors, proofreaders, printers and others in the field. Published authors will be available to dis- cuss their books. Major publishers such as Ocean View will be represented, as will such local authors as Clarissa Thomasson, E.H. Dom- ienik, Kathleen E Cellura and others. Some will have booths in which to sell their books and speak with fans. Oth- ers, like Cellura, are expected to participate in panel discussions about publishing. Panel discussions and talks by major authors will occur throughout the day as ticketed events at Venice Theatre. Proceeds from the first fair will benefit the building fund of the Triangle Inn, home of the Venice Archives and Area Historical Collection. The Triangle Inn, thanks to a $1 million grant from Julia Cousins Laning, is planning the addition of a new museum and addi- tional archival storage.

He's not crazy about the house and thinks they can get an even better deal; she thinks it's an incredible bargain in a good neighborhood, compared to some other places they've looked. "How do I talk him into it?" she asked. Having recently taken on the role of Mr. Advice Guy, I leaped to her rescue. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," I replied. Because I've been a guy most of my life, I know that persuading us to do something when we pretty much have our mind made up is about as easy as getting a Red Sox fan to root for the Yan- kees. Even people who hate sports should know that's virtually impossible. And because I've been around women for several years, I know that they are incapable of not trying to persuade us to do something even though they know how difficult it is. It would be like passing up a shoe sale. Not happening - right, ladies? HISTORY FROM PAGE 6 Office of Travel & Tour- ism is the state agency CROSS FROM PAGE 4 LAMB GAELS BLAS CROP ITOL ALLOT SLOMO HIKE INWASHINGTONTHEY COLA GRIN ROU E SPAR HAFROM CLASSIFCONGRIE DONTHAVEALLTHEFACTS COMO LANO IRATE E HUH S UDOKU FROM CLASSIFIED But there are ways to manipulate us, provided you start early enough - before we have made a decision. We like to solve problems, and anything that needs a decision is a problem. Once we have an answer not neces- sarily the correct answer, but an answer it's on to the next problem. So don't wait to begin the persuasion process. Here, from the top- secret Guy Handbook, are some other tips: Find a way to make him think it's his idea. People usually don't like being told what to do, and most guys are people. If, however, you can convince a guy that he thought of whatever you want him to do, he'll not only go along, but it will be impossible to get him to change his mind to the position he other- wise would have taken. To make sure he's locked in, argue the other side just so he becomes even more convinced he's right. Bring sports into the mix. Every guy has favorite sports teams and athletes (if he doesn't, he might be a man but he's not a guy). Use that loyalty to your advantage. For example, if your guy wore an Eli Manning jersey while watching the Super Bowl last Sunday, tell him you only want him to do what he knows Eli would do. (But don't keep riding the sports dedicated to promot- ing Massachusetts as a leisure-travel destina- tion. An integral part of the state's economy, tourism generates more than $915 million in horse, so to speak, if you're in unfamiliar ter- ritory. If you tell him Eli wants him to kick a home run, the effect isn't nearly the same.) Never, under any circumstances, make any threats. The only accept- able guy reaction to a threat is to want to do the exact opposite. Some- times reverse psychology works here, but your guy will (eventually) figure out that's what happened and will be (somewhat) more wary the next time. He'll also remember that you threatened him, and that's just not good for a relationship. *When in doubt, resort to the "s" word. Yes, ladies, it's a classic tactic in the war of the sexes, but that's because it works. You know how much we love it, you know we can't get it any- where else and the whole point is to win, right? Sure, you might not be in the mood. Yes, you might not enjoy it under the circumstances. You know, though, that if you promise it and deliver it as promised, you'll have your guy eating out of your hand. That's how powerful your silence is, because it's such a rare commodity. Besides, just how far has nagging gotten you? That far? Well, go with your strength, then.

Blood Bank VAETI E'S tV ( Ir SUN NEWSPAPERS 7B It's the little things -6 JUNE CASAGRANDE Some people worry that high-tech commu- nications are bringing down language stan- dards. In a Twitter-cen- tric world where people write somee" in place of "someone," these fears seem valid. But linguists beg to differ. Language, their work has demon- strated again and again, polices itself according a simple law: the need to be understood. But another way of looking at these issues hit me recently while I was reading a real estate-related web- site: In an age when everyone's a "published writer," spelling, punc- tuation and grammar may be more important than ever. Consider these sen- tences from the website. "It's no secret the foreclo- sure market is at an all time high." "The fore- closure process contains 3 stages." "Bank owned properties commonly called REO or real estate owned is one of the most common foreclosure investment practices today." This website was trying hard to impress readers with its expertise and professionalism. And overall, the site wasn't badly written. It was well-organized with some solid informa- tion. Yet these passages, like others on the site, contained subtle clues that the company was not as polished as it would have readers believe. Take, for example, the sentence reporting that the market "is at an all time high." Most people don't pay much attention to hyphen- ation rules, but I bet that many would sense something a little off here. If you read enough, you develop a sort of sixth sense that tells you that most pros would have put a hyphen in "all-time." That's because punctuation rules say to use a hyphen to join two words that together modify a third word anytime it can aid comprehension and readability. That's a tiny matter, of course. But little things add up. Here's another: "The foreclosure pro- cess contains 3 stages." This sentence is techni- cally fine. But it devi- ates from professionally edited copy in one way: the numeral 3. Profes- sional publishing follows certain guidelines for writing numbers. The guidelines are somewhat arbitrary, and differ- ent rules apply to book publishing and for news media. Still, almost no professionally edited copy uses numerals for numbers less than 10 unless it's for an age or a measurement. In news style, it's most common to write out numbers one through nine and use numer- als thereafter until you get to some real big- gies, like 2.5 million, in which it's customary to use numerals for the first part and the word "million" or "billion" for the second. Book and magazine publish- ing tend to write out all numbers except for the really awkward ones. So in a book you'd write three thousand but use numerals for 3,812. I notice these things because it's my job to. And I could be wrong in my suspicion that well- read people would sense something amiss here. But our last sample sen- tence goes beyond minor style issues. "Bank owned properties commonly called REO or real estate owned is one of the most common foreclosure investment practices today" contains an out- right grammar mistake, one you almost never see in professional writ- ing. The subject of the sentence is long noun phrase that starts with "bank" and ends with "owned." But the head noun the real subject - is "properties" and it's paired with the verb "is." This is a classic example of a subject-verb agree- ment problem. Singular subjects take singular verbs: "The cat is sleeping." Plural sub- jects take plural verbs. "The cats are sleep- ing." So the heart of our sentence, "properties is," constitutes a bona fide error. Add that to the other little infelicities in this sentence the missing hyphen in "bank owned" and the poor choice to not use com- mas to set off the "com- monly called" phrase, and you have a company I'm not likely to give my money to.

Back in the mid to late '50s, two- and three-tone paint combinations were normal, not just on Fords, but all American manu- facturers. Most readers of our articles surely can re- member how neat those cars looked going down the road. I know Lee and I do! The 1958 Fairlane is the property of Robert "Bob" and Ginger Law, snowbirds from Mt. Carroll, Ill., who enjoy their winter home in DeSoto County off of Kings Highway. They had heard about it in their travels, and on the way back from Florida last year "tracked it down" in Aurora, Ill. They found the owner, a widow, who put this retractable in a shed, where it stayed for 30 years. The engine and the transmission were miss- ing, as were some other parts. However the price was right, and soon it was in their garage being totally rebuilt. Such purchases and restorations are not new to Bob, as he started with a 1950 Chevy hardtop that was his first car at a very young age. He soon moved up to big- ger, better and faster machines including a 1962 Impala hardtop with a "hopped-up" 409 engine and four-speed tranny, posi trac 456 rear and more. It stayed with him as a street drag racer until he spent four years in the Air Force stationed in four different states, Vietnam and Thailand. After being discharged, this adventurous fellow married Ginger Tipton, settled down with a 1964 slant 6-cylinder Plymouth sedan, and started a family that later consisted of two boys and a girl. The Laws became farmers of 800 acres, raising mostly corn and soybeans, with Bob rebuilding special inter- est cars himself. Now 72, the farms are rented out and this inter- esting couple say they are trying to retire and enjoy their six grandchildren. Oh yes, over the 50 years of being a "car couple" they have retained seven very nice, non-modified vehicles, including three Plymouths, two 1955 Ford Victorias, a fancy 1957 Pontiac Bonneville CV plus this retractable. See them and the Classy Ford as you walk around the 100 antique cars and trucks at the Sun show today. oon Specifications 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Sky- liner retractable convert- ible coupe: Basic price, $3,163; production, 14,713; wheelbase, 118 inches; weight, 4,069 pounds; engine, (op- tional) V8 352 cubic-inch; horsepower, 300; trans- mission, three-speed cruisematic. This was the most expensive and heaviest of all 1958 series cars. Black beauty The black 1968 beauty is one of only 3,761 of this model manufactured by Ford and, like the 1958, is among a low percentage remaining compared to the number produced - due to accidents, rust or simply being worn out and scrapped. There's some romance involved with the couple who own this automobile. Vernon Swenson, 70, first met his wife Jean while walking on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. She was on vacation from her nursing job at the VA Hospital in Boston and he was a sailor stationed on a guided missile sub- marine near Pearl Har- bor. They quickly became friends, dated often and his feelings for her were so strong he asked her to marry him. She accepted the proposal and they married January 1963, at the Base Chapel of Pearl Harbor. Vern was discharged in the fall of that year, and moved to Milwaukee where he attended and graduated from Milwau- kee School of Engineer- ing. During those four years Jean worked in the ER of Milwaukee Chil- dren's Hospital. Soon he was hired by Bell Telephone Labs in New Jersey, thus a move to that state where he continued his education at Steven's Institute of Technology. Those two degrees en- abled him to get "a good job" and made plans to buy a new 1968 Ford convertible. However, be- ing practical people, that dream was "put on the back burner" as a home and a family of three chil- dren to raise came first. Along the way, they lived in Hawaii, Wiscon- sin, Ohio and Arizona. Finally, they came to Punta Gorda 10 years ago. They're now retired with the children grown and gone. His son is in Indianapolis and is into muscle cars, and found "our car" and talked them into purchasing it. It was a very long wait of SAVE THESE DATES SFeb. 8-12,74th Annual Membership Meeting and Awards Banquet hosted by the SW Florida Region of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America.

Their three children include the aforemen- tioned son, who pres- ently owns a 1967 Buick Sports Wagon (of which he's had several in the past) and some old Jeeps. The daughter in Min- nesota has a really hot 1997 Mustang she drag races, plus a top fuel rail dragster that took first place recently in Eau Clare, Wisc. Another daughter, the youngest back in Nebraska, has a teenage son who wants a new Camaro. Both Mr. and Mrs. Swenson say cars are a strong family interest and told me the convertible is the only classic they plan to own, at least for now. Wow! What a nice life they've had! They too plan to exhibit their Ford at today's Sun show. Stop by and meet them!

I met a whole bunch of new car nuts. When it comes to cars, I don't care where you go, you meet a bunch of nice people. And as usual I got a lot of rib- bing about the "Lug Nut" name. Even the ladies that attended giggled when they heard the name. I went in the shop area and saw the "rides" they were working on. Michael Case invited me back to take a tour of his complete shop during the week. If you need any restorations on your car you can reach him at 239-543-0900. The main building has a lot of antique old car signs and gas pumps. It was like going back in time to see these items. I even saw a gas pump that showed 15.9 cents a gallon. I was fortunate to meet Tony Allen from the Hot Rods & Hogs Car Shows at this meet. If you have never been to one of his car shows, you do not know what you are missing. Tony has one of the biggest car shows at the Semi- nole Casino in Immo- kalee. His website is www.flhrh.com. Back to the local stuff. Last Saturday, at Mickey D's for some more harassment, then to Nick's to check up on the latest gossip. I was told the price of antique cars is starting to climb again. A lot of northerners are bring- ing their antique cars to Florida to try and sell them. Before you buy one, you should take it to a reputable garage to have it checked out. Whatever you do, do not buy one without seeing it first. Always inspect a car before putting a deposit on it, know how to identify a clone from an original, get a bill of sale or receipt, see the title, verify that the VIN numbers match the model, specifications and options. I have seen several of these cars bought online, and they were not what they said they were. Watch out for good deals, if it comes from overseas, has an asking price that seems too-good-to-be-true, requests a deposit be sent immediately and uses of free web-based email accounts, it could be a scam. I love this quote by JeffWebster: "Scam- mers can't cheat an honest man; they can only cheat the man who expects to get something for nothing. It is this type of individual that often ends up with noth- ing for something." Jeff Webster is president and CEO of Buyer Services International LLC. My motto is: if you "Blown" Porsche.

Dear Tom and Ray: My 88-year-old mother has a 2005 Buick LaCrosse with 15,000 miles on it. It only gets driven to the grocery store, hair salon and church. But that has been the case for all six years she's owned it. Now, in the past three months, three new bat- teries have gone stone- cold dead after four to six weeks! The Buick service department says the problem is "She doesn't drive it enough!" Heck! For nearly six years, she "didn't drive it enough," and it used the same bat- tery! I can't get them to tell me why it apparently is sucking the life out of the batteries now. Any ideas? Gary RAY: Well, I agree with you, Gary. If the problem were that she didn't drive it enough, why did she have no problem with the battery for the first six years? TOM: There are two possibilities. One is that something inside the car is draining the batter- ies. It could be a faulty CLICK and CLACK TALK CARS by Tom& Ray Magliozzi Because anyone who owns a car needs a laugh twice a week. alarm system, dome light or some other electric accessory. RAY: The dealer should be able to figure that out by putting an ammeter on the car when it's shut off and seeing if there's a current drain. TOM: But I think the more likely problem is that her charging system isn't working. RAY: Here's the sce- nario: She drives the car a few times a week. Normally, that's enough to recharge the bat- tery. But at some point, the alternator starts to underperform. TOM: Without the bat- tery recharging properly, in the course of a few weeks or a month, the battery runs down and dies. So she takes it in. They don't test the sys- tem rigorously enough, and just sell her a new battery. RAY: At first, everything seems fine, but the new battery isn't being suf- ficiently recharged either. So it lasts for a month or so, and then it dies. This process is repeated three times, until you realize that the guys at this particular service department are complete knuckle-scrapers and you go somewhere else. TOM: Where, hope- fully, they do a thorough test of the charging system, figure out what's wrong with it and replace the alternator or what- ever else needs to be replaced. RAY: And if you end up needing another new battery, it's perfectly reasonable for you to go back to the original deal- ership, explain to them that they missed the problem with the charg- ing system and ask them to reimburse you for the battery or three they sold you. Good luck, Gary. * * The best way to brace for impact Dear Tom and Ray: I drive in city traffic daily, and I find that at least once per day, I have to brake sharply from traffic speed to a dead stop. I usually check the rear- view mirror to see what is happening behind me as I stop. The question is: If someone is about to hit me, should I release the brakes to lessen the impact, potentially push- ing me into the car in front of me, or should I hold the brakes and take the full impact on my rear bumper? My gut tells me to hold the brake, but could I suffer less total damage by having a little damage on both ends, or should I take the hit and try to spare the vehicle in front of me? Thanks. - Dwayne TOM: Well, I think you should stop texting your bookie while you drive, Dwayne. That may result in fewer panic stops. RAY: But if you're in city traffic and someone is about to hit you from behind, I think you're bet- ter off keeping your foot on the brake. TOM: First of all, rear- end damage tends to be a lot less expensive than front-end damage. There's simply more stuff in the front end. And it's pricier stuff. There's the radiator, the steering components, the air-conditioning condenser and the engine. In the back, there's ... well, the trunk. RAY: Second, if you take your foot off the brake, you'll be sacrificing the car of the guy in front of you, and potentially injuring someone who isn't braced for impact. And that's not nice. Especially if you can avoid it. TOM: And finally (and this is just my opinion), I think that you're less likely to get hurt if you take one hit rather than two. If someone hits you from behind, and you're braced for it pushing on the brake, pushing yourself into the driver's seat and your head into the headrest you'll take one shot, but the seat and headrest will help brace you. RAY: Whereas if the brake is off, you'll take more whiplash as your car shoots forward, and then reverse-whiplash (what- ever that is lashwhip?) when your car hits the car in front of you. So that's two chances to get hurt. TOM: If there's no car in front of you, then taking your foot off the brake can allow some of the energy from the impact to be converted into motion, rather than having your car absorb it all. But if you're in traffic, I'd say keep your foot on the brake, push back into the seat and text your bookie "OMG!" Got a question about cars?

Call 866.463.1638 SUNNEWSP NEWSPA Overweight but still healthy DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have serious doubts about judging weight and health. Everyone talks about the obesity epi- demic, but no one speaks for those of us who are overweight by accepted standards but are still in good shape. I am 33. Since grade school, I have exercised hard and still do. I lift weights and run long distances and do both regularly. I am 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weigh 185 pounds. My BMI is 28, which puts me in the "overweight" category. I am quite muscular, and my waist is 31 inches. I have the same build as my father and grandfa- ther. My grandfather is 79 and still works his 80-acre farm. What do you say about this? D.R. ANSWER: I agree with you. The Mayo Clinic did a study comparing overweight but highly fit people to people with normal weight but low fit- ness. The overweight but highly fit had a lower risk of dying. If overweight people have normal cholesterol, normal blood pressure and normal blood sugar, their overall health isn't impacted by their weight. They are, however, in the distinct minority. As for BMI, body mass index, it's a better crite- rion of body composi- tion (how much of the body weight is fat and how much is muscle and bone) than is weight obtained by stepping on a scale, but it's not perfect. Heavily muscled indi- viduals come out as being overweight when their weight has no bearing on health or longevity. If people want to calculate their BMI, divide weight in pounds by height in inches squared, and multiply that number by 703. Those proficient with metric measurements, divide weight in kilo- grams by height in meters squared. Normal values lie between 18.5 and 24.9. Waist measurement is another reliable criterion of health. For men, the waist should be less than 40 inches (102 cm), and for women less than 35 inches (89 cm). Ab- dominal fat has a greater negative impact on health than fat in other places. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please explain interval training to me. Several people have told me about it, but I was confused by what they said. They're in physical education pro- grams and seem to know what they're talking about. - R.G. ANSWER: The essence oan Dr. Donohue Readers may write Dr Donohueat PO. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475 of interval training is to combine short periods of intense exercise with equal periods of reduced- intensity exercise. It applies to all aerobic exercise: swimming, run- ning, biking and skating. Take running as an example. On an interval program, the runner speeds up for a short time and then slows down for an equal amount of time. This gives the runner a chance to vary the running program and to incorporate very demanding exercise into it. The runner runs all- out for one minute, then slows down to a jog for one minute. The intervals can vary according to one's abili- ties. They can be as short as 10 seconds or as long as four minutes. Don't start out by trying four minutes. That's far too de- manding. You have to get used to this program. Interval training helps the body get rid of lactic acid generated by high- intensity exercise. Lactic acid buildup leads to muscle fatigue. Older people ought not to engage in this without their doctor's OK. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I started training for a mar- athon last fall. It will be held in late spring. Have you any tips on when I should cut back on my running? How long before the actual race? J.J. ANSWER: I don't have any personal experience. I never wanted to run a marathon. An expert marathoner suggests reducing the length and time of run- ning about four weeks be- fore a race. The week be- fore, run only 40 percent of your best distance and time, and quit running at least three or four days before the marathon.

The water was barely flowing. He dismantled the shower head and soaked it in a bowl of vinegar. Within 30 minutes, it was perfectly clean and void of any blockage. My mother, who always used vinegar, and Heloise knew what they were doing! Our water is full of cal- cium and leaves showers and sinks spotted! I had tried expensive bathroom and tile cleaners. Nothing succeeded until I started pouring straight vinegar over the calcium buildup. (Heloise here: Do not pour on real marble.) Vinegar has become my cleaner of choice. I just wanted to thank you. - Sherry in New Braunfels, Texas Sherry, thank you for sharing how super vin- egar is. Vinegar certainly is a workhorse around the home, and it is one of my favorite go-to clean- ers! I have compiled a collection filled with money-saving and "green" vinegar hints.

Heloise Careful shipping Dear Heloise: I would like to warn your readers regarding shipping valu- able pictures. My mother moved across the coun- try several years ago. To save space in the moving van, she sent her three children's baby pictures (through high school) to her new address. The boxes never reached the intended destination. Hence, all the pictures were lost! Sue in Rogers, Ark. Yikes! Sorry to hear about this, but thank you for writing to warn my readers. Better to carry precious personal items with you when you move. - Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, PO.

(Answers Monday) OZONE TALLER FACADE Ans: I I Jumbles: WAFER MUTTS By Patrick McDonnell Saturday, February 11, 2012 E/N/C/V The Sun Classified-Section B Page 11 The Sun Classified-Section B Page 12 E/N/C/V Saturday, February 11, 2012 Mom's 'wonderful'fiance appears not DEARABBY: I am 11. My mom is engaged to a man who I think is a wonderful person, but she always questions whether he's cheating on her. She's 37. Personally, I think she won't get another chance like this. Their wedding has been postponed three times because she thinks he's lying to her. I don't think she real- izes what she's got. When I ask her if everything is OK between them, she says, "Everything is fine, and if it wasn't, it would be too complicated for you to un- derstand." I just want them to live happily together. What should I do? OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW IN ALABAMA DEAR OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW: You may be old enough to know, but if your mom doesn't feel comfortable sharing cer- tain personal information with you, that should be her privilege. Her suspi- cions may be the result of having been hurt in past relationships, or she may have caught her fiance being less than truthful at some point. Your mother should not marry ANYONE regard- less of how great a catch he may seem to you- unless she is certain she can trust him. The fact that their wed- ding has been postponed three times sends me a mes- sage that she thinks she has reason for concern in that department. DEAR ABBY: I'm 16 and want to have my ear pierced a second time. Despite my mother's reluc- tance, she took me to get my ears pierced when I was 9. My friends have all gotten multiple ear piercings. All I want is to get the cartilage on my right ear pierced, but Mom and Dad refuse. Mom says that any piercing other than one in each ear looks "trashy" and people will think unfavor- ably of me. I don't see the big deal. It's not like I want my nose or navel pierced. I just want one little stud, and I'd pay for it myself. I'm a respectful and honest girl. I have always to be trusted f4f Dear Abby brought home good grades. Mom says I'll have to wait until I'm 18 and out of her house. I don't understand why she won't let me get this done. My best friend's mother, who is stricter than mine, let her get her cartilage pierced. What do you think? - NOT ASKING FOR MUCH IN ILLINOIS DEAR NOT ASKING FOR MUCH: I think that as a minor living in your parents' house, you should obey their rules. If you want to get multiple pierc- ings in your ears when you're 18 and on your own, the choice will be yours. But until then, respect your mother's wishes. "Because everyone else is doing it" is not a valid reason for doing anything. DEAR ABBY: I enjoy the- ater very much, but can't afford to attend all the per- formances I would like, so I work at my local theater every week. In exchange, I am "paid" in tickets. The ticket prices are generally $60 and up, so it's a win/ win for both the theater and for me. My question is, when I invite a friend to use the extra ticket, is it unreason- able to expect him or her to drive and pay for the treat at intermission? The ticket was not "free" to me I worked for it. Or, because I issued the invitation, am I responsible for the entire evening? THEATER LOVER IN ATLANTA DEAR THEATER LOVER: If you're treating someone to an evening at the the- ater, it would certainly be gracious of your guest to offer to reciprocate in some way. However, because your friends don't have ESP this is a subject you should raise at the time you issue the invitation. "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. "- 2 Timothy 4:2. It is so easy to get hung up on a production rather than the simple presentation of the gospel. What is it that all mankind needs to hear? That we are all sinners, that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, and salva- tion is for sure if we will only believe.
