VENICE a 75" on olier Sun r LOCAL NEWS COVER TO COVER FLORIDA'S NO.1 WEEKLY NEWSPAPER VOTING INFO Page2A MICRO-SCOPIC Page 6A THEY CARE Page 7A Flight school owner arrested By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR Venice police detectives arrested a flight school owner at his place of business Mon- day for allegedly defrauding his former employer and business partner. According to a Venice Police Department probable-cause SBUCAFRATTA affidavit: In January 2011, a Chero- kee airplane owned by Troy Pittman, former owner of Elite Flight Academy based at the Venice Municipal Airport, was damaged after the nose gear collapsed. Damage was assessed at $20,000. Pittman was awaiting an insurance check for $20,000 from Alexander Aviation Insurance Co., while also trying to sell the business to an employee, Antonella Sbucafratta. Unknowingly, Pittman ARRESTED 13 VHA wins (tax) lottery By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR The Venice Housing Author- ity has been awarded the tax credits it will rely upon to fund its low-income redevelopment project on Grove Terrace. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation will allocate $1,245,000 annually in tax credits to VHA for the next 10 years. The corporation's board approved the tax credits June 8. It's been four years in the making, as the VHA board navigated Florida's affordable housing lottery. Plans to build Venetian Walk, a mix of low-income, senior and family housing, are well under way. "It's certain now. We have the tax credit allocation award," said Paula Rhodes, of Norstar Primerica MultiFamily Devel- opment, VHAs financial con- sultant on the project. "When we sell those, that's what pays most of the development cost." Rhodes said she expects VHA will receive somewhere in the 95-cents-on-the-dollar range in exchange for those tax credits, providing the housing VHA 13 Manatees delight beach-goers Mating herds cause stir off Manasota Key By STEVE REILLY STAFF WRITER Love is not necessarily in the air, but it's definitely in local waters. Kris Hleuka photographed a cluster of manatees Sunday in the Gulf off Sand Dollar Lane. The manatees spent much of Sunday courting in the shal- lows of Manasota Key. Kris's husband, Jim, spotted them in the late afternoon, and the manatees remained until 7 or 8 p.m. Sunday, but were gone by Monday morning. "It was the coolest thing I've seen in the 10 months that I've been here," Kris said. She and her family moved to Englewood from Sacramento, Calif., and spent their first six months hoping to see manatees. Manatees are her 15-year-old daughter Kayla's favorite animal. "They were close enough to touch, but we didn't," Hleuka said. "They were rolling around like beached whales." Kris, the mother of identi- cal twins Kayla and Karina, expressed sympathy for the "poor female" surrounded by 14 male manatees all want- ing to mate. "There was a line of them," she said. The Hleukas' sighting of mating manatees wasn't the only one reported locally. Mote Marine Laboratory researchers documented sev- eral mating herds in Sarasota Bay and the Gulf, including areas off Sarasota and Mana- tee counties. Mote cautioned boaters and beach-goers to give mat- ing herds a wide berth at least 100 feet both for their own safety and for that of the "' .. - C-a B"i ^^ .H B^ *^^^HHr 9^ ' PHOTO PROVIDED BY KRIS HLEUKA Fourteen suitors wait in line in shallow water off Sand Dollar Lane Sunday on Manasota Key for a chance to mate. Manatees are especially vulnerable this time of year according to wildlife officials. Boaters and beach-goers are asked to watch the manatees from at least 100 feet away. Coming any closer may disrupt the animals' natural behavior or put people in harm's way. manatees. Humans getting into the water can disrupt the animals' normal mating behavior and could also result in humans being injured. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva- tion Commission, manatees reach sexual maturity at 4 to 7 years, and female manatees give birth to an average of one calf every two or three years. Researchers have documented manatees giving birth to twins, but that is rare. A calf will stay with its mother for two-and-a-half years. "Generally, manatees do mate year round, but (mat- ing) mostly peaks in the spring and summer," said Kari Rood, manager of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute's manatee photograph identification program. Seeing one "focal" female surrounded by males as many as 20 is not unusual and the mating can take up to several weeks, Rood said. The females often try to escape amorous males by heading into shallow water. Local storm damage estimate: $2.2M By SCOTT LOCKWOOD STAFF WRITER Sarasota County officials have estimated the total damage from Tropical Storm Debby at $2,190,600 more than the threshold required for federal assistance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's threshold for public assis- tance is $1,286,328.72. The state, along with FEMA, performed a preliminary damage assessment last week. "We haven't qualified for public assistance yet," Sarasota County Emergency Management Chief Ed McCrane said Monday. "We just had the preliminary damage assessment done, but with these figures we should qualify." Damage to Sarasota, Char- lotte and Manatee counties from Debby, which hit the weekend of June 23, has been estimated at $17 million. Tropical Storm Debby hammered Caspersen Beach, but the damage there was minor compared to Manasota Key and Siesta Key, which may qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency funds. Debris removal in Sarasota County was estimated at $5,000. Emergency protective measures, which includes emergency vehicle usage and worker pay, accounted for $40,000. A large portion of that cost was in response to two 72-inch storm drain pipes that ruptured at the intersection of Richardson and Coburn roads in North Sarasota, forming a sinkhole. That pipe rupture helped lead to a utility interruption at the Richardson Road water DAMAGE 13 Rood said researchers have yet to determine conclusively which males tend to be more successful than others. "Hopefully, genetics can help us," Rood said. Because the gestation period for manatees is 13 months, Rood said, the birthing season also reaches a peak in the spring and summer months. Females will seek canals and other quiet water bodies to give birth, she said.

New voter registrations must be postmarked by July 16 or delivered in person to any supervisor of elections office no later than 5 p.m. July 16. Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent urges all voters to verify and update their registration information prior to election day. Changes and updates may be made as follows: New registrations and signa- ture updates must be submitted on a Florida Voter Registration Application. Changes for disabled parking permits FROM SARASOTA COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR According to Sarasota County Tax Collector Barbara Ford-Coates, Florida has new requirements for replacing a permanent (blue) Disabled Person Parking Permit. In October, there will also be changes to permit renewals. The state made these changes to ensure that persons receiving the permits are truly disabled. If your permit was lost or stolen, a new application with a medical professional's certifica- tion must be submitted. Once the application has been com- pleted by the person and the medical professional, it can be returned to the tax collector's office for a free replacement. Effective Oct. 1, all renewals must also submit the applica- tion and certification. The application form can be downloaded from www. SarasotaTaxCollector.com. The tax collector has mailed this information to all medical pro- fessionals in Sarasota County. Name and party changes may be made by signed written notice, including on an FVRA, but must include the voter's date of birth or Florida Voter Registration System ID number. Address changes within the state of Florida may be made by phone, fax or email and must include the voter's date of birth. A voter may check voter registration status by going to the SOE website, www.SarasotaVotes.com. Select "Voter Information" from the menu and then select "Voter Lookup" and follow the instructions. Florida Voter Registration Application forms are available at all supervisor of elections' of- fices, city halls, county libraries and offices and social service agencies, and may be down- loaded from the SOE website. Dent began mailing new voter information cards to all 280,000 registered voters Tuesday. The SOE is required by law to mail new cards to every voter as a result of the 2010 Census and subsequent redistricting process. Dent said the new cards will contain vital information about a voter's congressional, state Senate, state House, county com- mission and local voting districts, as well as precinct and polling location information. All Sarasota County precinct numbers have changed and many polling locations have been consolidated following the redistricting process. Voters are urged to destroy their old cards and pay special attention to the information contained on the new cards. Like the old cards, the new voter information cards are informational only and may not be used as identification at a polling place on election day. Dent reminds all voters to take a photo and signature ID to the polls when voting at an early voting location or at the polls on Election Day. Election dates are: Primary Tuesday, Aug. 14; early voting is Aug. 4-11. General- Tuesday, Nov. 6; early voting is Oct. 27-Nov. 3. Registration deadline is Oct. 9. Early voting times and loca- tions are posted on the SOE website and will be advertised prior to the elections. Voters who do not receive a new card or who need to update any of the information on their cards should contact the SOE office at 941-861-8619. Voters with questions about the new cards may also call or visit the SOE website at www. SarasotaVotes.com. Venetian Gardens' Summer Expo Wednesday, July 11 from iI 10 a.i. to 2 p.im.

The check was issued to Elite Flight Academy and Davanto Aviation. Pittman owned through with credit underwriting." She's hoping the pieces of the financ- ing puzzle will fall into place by late October or November. The VHA board met Tuesday evening to firm up site plans as far as the number of units and amenities. Plans for Phase l's 61 units 75 percent of Davanto, while Sbucafratta owned 12.5 percent at the time. Under that arrangement, Pittman said, he's owed $13,200 of the insurance proceeds. He contacted police in November. Pittman said at first of senior housing are nearly complete. About 20 of those are set aside for those who qualify for federal low-income housing. Phase 2 will house families and individuals. The housing authority can built up to 54 addi- tional units, although plans right now show only 32 units. Sbucafratta denied receiv- ing the check. In August 2011, Pittman and Sbu- cafratta exchanged emails in which Sbucafratta reportedly claimed the insurance check was made for $10,000 based on the value of the hull. Sbucafratta claimed that To keep its promise to rebuild all 50 of the low-income units, the majority of Phase 2 units would need to be for low-income residents - a mix that is of some concern to the developer and board members. The authority was adamant it needs to keep that promise. It's being made more he stole nothing from Pittman. Police searched bank records and found the missing money.

There was also some light damage to county buildings, includ- ing roof flashing that had to be removed at the Sarasota County Court- house at an estimated cost of $1,600. Road and bridge dam- age around the county was estimated at $45,000. Beach Road on Siesta Key and North Casey Key TAKE HEED County Emergency Management Chief Ed McCrane hopes residents along the coast took notice of the influx of water from Debby. "I think the surge that people noticed along the waterfront areas... gave people an indication of what storm surge can really do," McCrane said."That was only 2 or 3 feet above tide. If we've got a major hurri- cane coming this way with a lot more water, we realize that's going to create a lot of damage." Road was the hardest-hit, with potholes forming in several other roads, like River Road in South County, as a result of the storm's 7 inches of rain. McCrane said the esti- mate came from FEMA's preliminary assessment and crews are still assess- ing streets for further damage. "Once roads have been underwater for a couple of days, traffic and heat can cause additional damage," he said. Debby was responsible for damaging at least 36 homes in South County, including 33 in La Casa manufactured home park near North Port. Two homes there needed new roofs as a result of wind damage. Three homes in the Playmore subdivision near River Road and U.S. 41 had flood damage from the Myakka River. McCrane said the county did not qualify for individual assistance because the damage threshold was not met, and that homeowner's insurance will be responsible for residence repairs. "There were only 11 counties in the state that qualified for individual assistance," McCrane said. FEMA assistance will come once assessments have been completed in affected areas and the county is notified it has been included in a disaster declaration by President Barack Obama, as requested by Gov. Rick Scott. The Myakka River was as high as 8.5 feet after the storm, well above its flood stage of 7 feet. Waters invaded streets of many low-lying areas near the river, like Playmore. According to McCrane, a bigger storm would have meant mandatory evacuations of those areas. "If people in those areas had never experienced that before, they realize now what they may have to do," he said. "We warn people to evacuate and take protective action to get out of there."

Zucker named to state task force FROM THE SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Caroline Zucker, chair of the School Board of Sarasota County, has been appointed by Speaker Dean Cannon of the Florida House of Representatives to serve as a member of the K-12 Public School Facility Funding Task Force. Zucker, one of only two school board members to serve on the 11-member task force, will represent school boards in small to medium-size school districts throughout the state, based on student population. The com- mittee also includes two school district superin- tendents, charter schools operators and board members, and parents of students in traditional and charter schools. "Ensuring that public education dollars are properly allocated to all schools within the K-12 public school system will require a thorough, open analysis of available capi- tal funds," said Zucker. The task force, created as a provision of a state law that went into effect July 1, will convene its first meeting later this month to explore issues related to the fairness of capital funding distribution for traditional public schools and charter schools, including funding needs, existing funding and revenue sources, long- term debt, class-size requirements and the use of facilities in Florida's 67 county school districts. The task force must submit its recommenda- tions by Dec. 1.

According to a Sarasota County Sheriff's Office EWING report: Law enforcement was called at 8:30 a.m. in response to a disturbance. At that time Eric E Ewing stated he wanted to check out. He asked for the remaining balance of his cash pay- ment on the room, but the manager stated that's against policy. The manager later agreed to the refund; Ewing agreed to pack his belongings and leave. He was given two hours to do so. While leaving, he screamed at a house- keeper to get out of the elevator, then grabbed the doors with both hands and slammed them open, jamming the elevator. An ambulance had to be called for a disabled guest who had no other way to get to the lobby from her third-floor room. When Ewing reached the lobby he created another disturbance, stat- ing he was lightheaded and faint from using the stairs. He then chal- lenged several guests and employees to fights while screaming at others. Ewing, 54, 300 block Casey Key Road, Noko- mis, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and property damage. Bond was set at $1,120.

The company's corpo- rate and customer care offices are at 121 Triple Diamond Blvd., North Venice. "Our objective is to help people understand there is a better way to improve health instead of going to a low-calorie diet and more exercise," Jason said. "We started our business by writ- ing 'Naked Calories' to inform people about micro-nutrient defi- ciency, something most do not really know. When they think about health they turn to diet foods and fill themselves with SUN PHUIU BY KUOGE BUI IOUN Mira Calton, global director, and Jason Calton, Ph.D. and chief executive officer, founders of Calton Nutrition Inc., have opened their company corporate and customer care offices at 121 Triple Diamond Blvd., North Venice. what we call 'naked calories.'" Although there are various approaches to reaching optimal health, the Caltons believe a diet of micro-nutrient rich foods primarily locally grown produce and grass-fed animal meat is preferential to imported foods. To find out where the smart foods are in your neigh- borhood, enter your ZIP code at their website, caltonnutrition.com. To achieve maximum benefits, the Caltons sell a multi-vitamin product and dietary supplement, Nutrience, in powder form, to be taken morning and evening as a drink mix. Each dose contains separate micro-nutrients that cannot be absorbed by the body at the same time. Nutrience is available in individual doses in a box of 56 packets for a four-week course of morning and evening doses. Costing $39.95, it's available only from licensed and certified healthcare medical professionals or directly from Calton Nutrition. "It is not possible to determine the benefits because Nutrience has only been available since April, but already some people report sleeping better," she said. "Our supplement is meant to beat micro- nutrient deficiency forever." The Calton Institute of Lifestyle Medicine provides paid training courses at the offices in Venice for medical personnel to become board certified. Clients from around the country and overseas are attend- ing the classes. They believe the broadest method to get their message and research to everyone is in what will be a series of five books. The first is "Naked Calories," in which they outline which foods are pre- ferred. The second, "Rich and Poor Food," explaining how to find micro-nutrient foods, will be available in Sep- tember. They have plans to publish "Nutrience Diabetes," "Nutrience Heart" and "Nutrience High Cholesterol." "When I was 30, I had advanced osteoporosis and because of my con- dition we began doing all this research and found there were numerous reasons multi-vitamins did not work because most do not absorb and do not have the right amount of nutrients," said Mira. To help reverse her osteoporosis and then to address the worldwide obesity epidemic and chronic lifestyle diseases, they visited more than 100 countries, even living with remote tribes in Papua, New Guinea, that have never seen any western medicines and did not know of cancer. People did not get sick and at age 100 were perfectly healthy, work- ing in the fields. Six years later the Cal- tons decided the basis of optimal health based is micro-nutrients. They have no competitors and are the only maker of multi-vitamin Nutrience. Their book is avail- able at booksellers, on the Internet and at their Venice office; call 941-882-4297. Copies are also being distributed in New Zealand, Australia, China, Singapore and United Kingdom.

Toss in Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Circus Sarasota and the Sarasota Film Festival. The Asolo Theater and the Banyan Theater and the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe. But south of Spanish Point in Osprey? Not as well known, certainly, although there are plenty of people who care about the arts and who try to bring arts and cultural experiences to what may seem from the per- spective of anyone in and around the city of Sarasota the hinterlands. South County may not be the cultural hub of the region, but Venice, Englewood and North Port have very active art centers. North Port has a performing arts center and the new Venice High School will have one as well. Venice Theatre and the smaller Lemon Bay Theater are thriving. And then there are nonprofits and church groups that bring shows and music to our communities. Invariably, they attract large audiences, especially in season. Of course, all of them could use some help. That's why Sarasota County allocates a portion of its tourist development tax every year to fund arts projects through a grants program: Last year, some $1.3 million was set aside for the arts. Less than 10 percent of it went south. The Arts & Cultural Alliance, which reviews the grants, received 40 appli- cations last year and recommended funding for 38. The only groups south of Osprey receiving money were Ven- ice Theatre, which got a tidy $78,516; the Venice Symphony, which received $3,614 for "Evening inVienna"; and the North Port Area Art Guild, which got $4,903 for its Mandalas for World Peace project. It would appear something is out of whack. But what? Last year, after hearing complaints about the lack of funds flowing south, the Arts Alliance promised to make a greater effort to market its grant program in the hinterlands. Among other things, the group held a grant orientation workshop at Gulf Coast Community Foundation, and 26 people showed up. Another six South County groups went to a North County session. Only five made applications, though. Three more (including People for Trees and the Lemon Bay Sunrise Rotary) began the process and dropped out. After taking a look at the application, we can't blame them. The application is long and extremely complicated. It demands performance measures, projections of artistic/cultural effectiveness, a budget, a marketing resource report, monitoring and evaluation. In short, it is daunting for small, nonprofit, volunteer-driven organizations. Without a staff grant-writer, or an extremely experienced volunteer, it's a bit of a nightmare. So why bother? As Commissioner Christine Robin- son said recently said the barrier to entry is simply too high. "They don't even apply because they can't get in the front door," she said. It's a good point and one that needs to be addressed again in the coming year. We appreciate the initial efforts of Arts and Cultural Alliance but would like to see more. One solution might be for the Arts Alliance to supply additional assistance to smaller groups try- ing to deal with the application process. The application itself could be streamlined. Perhaps the grant program could be split, with a pool of money for small grants that need only a simplified form and another pool for bigger awards using the current process. We just need something that will induce smaller cultural groups to participate in programs they have every right to be part of. And we have to work to make sure they are not scared off by the Ringlings and Selbys, the ballet and the opera. People will come to South County cultural events. Tourists will come to South County cultural events, and the main goal of the grant program is to spur tourism. It would be nice to find more creative ways to spread the wealth a bit so that everyone can benefit. One out of 27 My outlook on certain things changed on April 20, 2012. A group of 27 people gathered in a room to begin a program. This program consisted of seven classes and was thoroughly planned for the group. I like that kind of detail; it's easy to follow and easier to work into your schedule, so we were a point up in the score. I have been in corporate America for nearly 30 years and to be honest, my first thought upon seeing that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was on the agenda was "just great, another one of those classes." In my career I have completed Myers-Briggs no fewer than eight times and the excitement wore off around number four. Since then I have tried to make subtle changes to the answers to change my per- sonality results. So far it's not working, as I scored the same thing on number nine. So much for subtle change; either go big or go home on these things, I guess. We came together as a group of individuals, some of whom may have known some of the others well and knew others by reputation only or were meeting them for the first time. I am sure this was an appre- hensive moment for us all. The two facilitators called the group to order and reluctantly we complied. The adventure began for us all. I am not going to bore you with the details of each class, as we met seven times with six different facilitators along the way. We learned about leadership and communicat- ing effectively. We spent time on managing conflict, diversity and collaboration. We were taught the value of making group decisions and, finally, we spent a day on leading community change. Then we graduated a proud moment for us all, I assure you. As each person I now call friend walked up to get his or her diploma, I thought of the interaction we shared as a group and individually, smiling for the entire ceremony. We each got a moment to say what we got out of this pro- gram. I was impressed with all the answers. Finally, it was my turn to get the certificate and to speak. Being a good news- paperman, I reminded them that no one gets to hear it for free; buy the Venice Gondolier Sun and read about it. So, here goes my take-away from this program. First, it was an exceptional program. As I wound my way through the entire cur- riculum, it became clear to me that the instructors were intentionally creating minor situations in the group and forcing us to deal with them. The difference between the way we handled it the first day compared to the way we handled it the last day was absolutely amazing. We learned all about each other, learned to respect one another and, most important, to believe in one another. We leaned on our strengths, pushed aside our weakness and made decisions based on the realness of the problem, not emotion. A great lesson, no doubt. Second, I got to spend time with an incredibly talented group of human beings who opened up their minds and hearts to this team. As individuals, we all brought something to the table; as a group, we became a positive force that would be hard to contain. To me, more important than the lessons was the entire people experience, with both instructors and participants. Never have I walked away from a training program in which I felt every person who partici- pated would help me over- come an issue that is, until this program was completed. For that I say thank you to that special group. I guess I should tell you the name of the program and encourage you to apply for the privilege next year. Each year Gulf Coast Com- munity Foundation offers this program, called Gulf Coast Leadership Institute. The Fan- ning Institute, at the Univer- sity of Georgia, partners with it to produce this fantastic program. I highly recommend it, as I am a better person because of it. If a bunch of people can get it together and operate smoothly after seven classes, you have to wonder what the heck is going on with the rest of the world. Maybe a call to Gulf Coast Community Foundation and the Fanning Institute could solve some of these global issues. You just never know ... Tim Smolarick is publisher of the Gondolier Sun.

I think city council's vote to locate the Challenger's baseball field in the southern end of Wellfield Park was the right deci- sion. Building there allows Pinebrook Park to stay a haven for walkers, joggers and animals. I say thank you to the council members who had the courage to vote for plan B. Win-win. City council made the right decision on Pinebrook Park. The Chal- lenger group will be better served in the plan B site and the community as a whole is relieved to keep the much- used nature trail intact. It was a win-win for everyone. Good choice. Plan B for Challenger baseball? Abso- lutely, the right decision was made. Short lead. I traveled the roundabout this morning and it's poorly designed. The lead time for entering is not enough for car lengths. It's kind of like a meat grinder. I'm not an old person who might have a hard time navigating it; it's just poorly designed. In other states, they give more lead space to enter it. Keep up the good work. Right. Council did make the right decision by choosing plan B for the site for Chal- lenger baseball. Preserved. Council recog- nized the value of the preserve that many of us walk daily. Leave Pinebrook Park alone. Relieved. Those of us in Ven- ice who enjoy walking in the beautiful portion of Pinebrook Park are happy and relieved Let 'em Have It that the council has voted in our favor to save the 13 acres of nature preserve. Cart blah. No golf carts in downtown Venice. Most of the people who are driving golf carts to go shopping, etc., are older and have no license because they have one defor- mity or another or they can't pass a driver's test. It would be terrible to have those people driving golf carts and holding up everybody else who has a driver licenses. I disagree on letting them do that. Compromise. Let's talk about Rich Carroll, a man who has totally devoted his life to taking care of handicapped children. I know what it is to take care of handicapped kids - kids who are blind, kids who have to be in wheelchairs, kids who have to be led around the track. I've done that. So what is the problem with getting these young kids a piece of property that they can play ball on? It's not asking too much, believe me. We're fortunate that our children can take care of themselves and run by them- selves. These kids cannot. They have to be assisted. If they fall, they'll hurt themselves severely. So, we need a ball field that will accommodate their needs. Let's come up with a compromise that will help Rich Carroll, who has dedi- cated his life to taking care of these kids. Troubled. I strongly sup- port the council regarding the Challenger and Pinebrook Park. It's what the residents, citizens and taxpayers wanted. Challenger already had an approved location. It was not a vote against Challenger, it was a vote for the residents. But I am troubled by the three who voted against the wishes of the citizens of Venice. Makes me rethink how I will vote come election time. Happy. The two of us are so happy that the city council made the right decision regarding plan B for the Chal- lenger baseball.

N, :WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2012 HHS mandate is 'identity theft' While many have focused on the so-called "contraception issue" of the Health and Human Services mandate, still many others have real- ized that this federal law attacks the very identity of the Catholic Church and other faith-based groups in this country. At its root, the HHS mandate is guilty of "identity theft." The mandate is an attempt to strip religious institu- tions and individuals of their identity and thus force them to act against their conscience and core beliefs. Religious liberty in our nation has always involved more than merely the freedom to attend a religious service. For Catholics, faith inte- grally informs and gives life to all of our actions, including various charitable outreaches, such as Catholic social services, health care and education. Faith moti- vates and, in fact, is the underlying inspiration for all of our works. This is an important truth of the Catholic Church that contradicts those who claim that they only do their religion on Sunday, in church. In this country, the Catholic Church and others have long enjoyed the freedom to live out I LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Can you vote? Editor: After all that Sarasota County voters have been through in the past 12 years, from sharing the statewide embarrassment of "hanging chads" in 2000, to the historic 2006 petition drive in Sarasota County that brought veri- fiable paper ballots to this county and ultimately to all Florida, you'd think Sarasota County voters would jump at the chance to vote for the important office of supervisor of elections on Aug. 14. If the race were only between the two major party candidates, Kathy Dent and John Thaxton, we all could. But because of a ruling in Florida elec- tions law, 56 percent of the Sarasota County electorate could be shut out from voting in this race. The Aug. 14 election for supervisor of elections would be a universal primary, per the will of the voters of Florida in a state- wide amendment passed in 1998, but for the fact that a write-in candidate has been introduced to the process. Simply because a write-in candidate filed for the election, the primary is now closed, allowing only registered Republicans to vote in August for this very important constitutional office that affects all vot- ers in Sarasota County. If you wish to partici- pate in the Aug. 14 pri- mary election for super- visor of elections and are not already a registered Republican, you can register as a Republican by July 16 and cast your ballot in the Republican primary. If not, the only thing all voters can do to be able to vote in future such primary elections is to advocate for a change in our county charter to 16 Years Award-Winning Breakfast, Lunch &e Dinne by The Gondolier Sun Best of Venice & Sarasota Herald Readers Choice make the supervisor of elections a nonpartisan office. That would auto- matically allow registered voters of all political parties and no party to vote in the election. Whoever ultimately wins the race, John Thax- ton, Kathy Dent or the 24-year-old write-in candi- date Victoria Ann Brill, at least we can see how many voters in Sarasota County care enough to vote in the primary and the general election for this office.

However, the HHS mandate demands that religious organizations and individuals provide abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception, which are contrary to both our core beliefs and our identities as religious individuals. Specifi- cally, for an institution to know whether it is religious enough to meet the government's exemption standard, it must submit to an investigation whereby federal employees determine whether the institution hires and serves "primarily" those of the same belief.

However, in order to be exempt from the mandate, Catholic organizations will be forced to stop serving non-Catholics and fire non-Catholic employees (even though Catholic schools and social services are open to all). Catholic organizations would no longer simply ask, "Are you hungry?" but instead, "Are you Catholic?" before extend- ing services. Helping all people in need is rooted in our faith; it is who we are - our very identity. This identity and way of living out our faith, however, will soon be outlawed.

It should be paying Elin for her governmental decision. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has announced that the federal government is now "at war" with those who disagree with the HHS. We did not choose or desire such a war, but our government has unilaterally imposed war on all citizens who dis- agree with this mandate, including Catholics who strive to help others. This violation of our religious liberty and freedom of conscience has been deemed "neces- sary," so as to ensure that every citizen has access to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception. Even if these "services" were necessary, coercing indi- viduals to betray their conscience and religious identity would not be services. During all kinds of weather, small class, large class, Elin can be counted on to be there. No one has to tip; you do not have to pay and do not have to show up. Everything is voluntary. If something isn't broken, why try to fix it? Yoga is a good activity and a great attraction for the wonderful city of Venice. Do officials drive around and look for ways to change things and make money? Did the large group of concerned citizens and petitions not carry any weight? Whom do our officials represent, the people of Venice or the almighty dollar? Have these offi- cials visited the site more than once, talked to the the prudent or humane course of action. The issue is clearly not about whether people have a "right to" or "access to" abortion- inducing drugs, steriliza- tion and contraception. In a most profound way, the mandate is identity theft. The government is attempting to coerce Catholics, and other religious organizations, into violating their conscience and core beliefs. This is an attack on who we are as Catholics, as well as the faith- imbued manner in which we have always served both Catholics and non- Catholics alike. The Most Rev. Frank J. Dewane is the bishop of the Diocese of Venice in Florida. people on the beach? Come down, introduce yourself and observe the class firsthand. The newspaper article about the class was very misleading when it mentioned $5 and $10 bills being left in Elin's bag. If that occurs, it is probably for the week or the month. Early every morning you see people driving, walking and riding their bikes to the beach. It is a healthy way to start the day, meet friends and have con- versations at beach yoga and leaves the rest of the day for other activities. Please reconsider charging Elin for yoga on the beach.

PENTZ SPORTS EDITOR Time for Venice High gradu- ate Omari Phillips to find a new college to play football for. Phillips, a 6-foot-6, 315- pound defensive end who was denied admission to the University of Florida June 28, received an email from UF Provost Joe Glover informing him that his appeal to the admissions office was denied. In the email, Glover states that upon his review of Phillips' file he did not find substantial evidence to overturn the rejec- tion and now the decision is final. Phillip's stepdad, Damon Wilson, was led to believe through communications with officials at the University of Florida, includ- ing Glover, that Phillips would get PHILLIPS a hearing. "They said basically they got no new information to overturn it," said Wilson. "We thought we'd submit paperwork and have an appeal go before a board." Wilson said Phillips did exactly what he was told to do, such as write letters and have other people write letters. "We did everything," said Wilson. "That is what we were told to do and all of a sudden we don't have an appeal. I just think you shouldn't do kids like that." Now Phillips, who was rated as the No. 110 prospect in the nation in the ESPN 150, needs to start over in finding a college. "We are definitely going to move on," said Wilson. "I'm still satisfied with the answers (from UF). Maybe not for Omari but for the next kid." According to Wilson, Phillips is cleared through the NCAA Clearinghouse. "I think it came down to almost two sides admissions and athletics," saidWilson. "They told me they were separate." Wilson plans to sit down with Phillips and arrange visits to other colleges. "We made a few phone calls and put all the information out there," saidWilson. Although a lot of rosters are full, Wilson said there is still plenty of interest in Phillips. "A good portion of the schools still have spots (open), said Wilson. "He is going to go some- where where he is comfortable. It's a timing issue. It's when as opposed to who. It is either August or January. We are lean- ing toward schools he can get into in August. Rosters empty out in January so he could go anywhere then." Wilson said Phillips has a few teams he would like to play for in the fall. "I know Miami is one that is tops," said Wilson. "Outside of that, he has a lot of attention. Now we are in the process of starting all over again." Wilson said Phillips has more than 10 schools looking at him. Phillips committed to UF on Oct. 25, 2010, as a sophomore at Venice High and didn't take any other college visits. Wilson said this experience with UF has soured them on the recruitment process. "I was the first one to say he should honor his commit- ment," said Wilson. "I was the one who stood in the way of a lot of coaches talking to him."

Earlier, Davidson had handed Venice its first loss of the double-elimi- nation tournament with a 7-3 win, allowing six hits in 5 23 innings. Venice forced Monday's winner-take-all game with a 8-4 victory Friday to hand North Port its only loss. "I'm disappointed that these kids don't get to keep playing," said Venice manager Joe Buncik on Tuesday. "On paper, that is a really good team. Very, very disappointed for our kids that they won't go on to the next level. It's unfortunate we did not put our best game on the field last night. In the first inning, Venice jumped out to a 1-0 lead against David- son. Jaivon Heiligh led off with a single down the third base line. A wild pitch moved Heiligh to second base. After two consecutive called strike- outs, Mitch Donofrio hit a ball to second base that glanced off the glove for an error, moving Heiligh to base. Kyle Bachle ripped a double down the third base line to score Heiligh. With runners at second and third base, Davidson got a strikeout to end the inning. North Port came back with three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Brian O'Boyle and David- son led off with bunt singles down the third base line. Kyle O'Quinn followed with a three-run home run over the center field fence. "He beat me at my own game," said Buncik about bunt singles. "He was paying attention to where we had our guys. Hats off to them.

North Port added two runs in the second inning thanks to sloppy play as Venice committed two of its six errors in the inning. A leadoff single and passed ball put a runner at second base. An error on a grounder scored one run, then an errant throw by the catcher scored the other run. "That is a special bunch of kids," said Buncik about North Port. "They played very loose last night and were not afraid to make a mistake. Their pitcher executed both games. They have a bunch of good players." Venice hit into a 6-4-3 double play in the third inning. "They hit the ball," said Buncik. "Biggest disap- pointed for me is the potential of how we can hit the ball." In five games, Venice (3-2) scored 59 runs and allowed 23 runs. North Port tallied two more runs to take a 7-1 cushion on a two-run home run by Tyler O'Boyle over the center field fence. "I'm disappointed for our guys," said Buncik. "We had every intention of making a run but fell a little bit short." North Port ended the game on the 10-run mercy rule with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning on two hits and three errors.

This latest recognition by his fellow publishers follows the 2010 presentation of a life membership in the organization, the newspaper trade association for Florida newspapers since its founding in 1879. Vedder is a past FPA presi- dent and a current member of the FPA Foundation board of trustees. He also is a member of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association Small Newspapers Committee and vice president of Sun Coast Media Group, parent company of the Gondolier Sun. "He has been a significant part of the FPA for many years," FPA President and CEO Dean Ridings said. "His Best Idea Session was one of the most popular education offer- ings at our annual conference for several years. We value his contributions to the organiza- tion and are thrilled with this induction." "The Venice community was lucky to have one of Florida's great publishers at the helm of the Venice Gondolier Sun for over 30 years," SCMG president David Dunn-Rankin said. "There are less than 50 publishers in the Florida Press Hall of Fame. Bob's inclusion in that elite group is a reflec- tion of his tireless drive and passion for our business and the city of Venice." Vedder is the second person associated with SCMG to receive the honor. The first was Derek Dunn-Rankin, chair of the board. "Under Bob's leadership, the Gondolier Sun was regularly recognized as one of the best weeklies in the state by the Florida Press Association, winning double-digit awards on an annual basis and laying claim to the trophy as the best weekly in its circula- tion class 10 of the past 11 years," Derek Dunn-Rankin said. "It was the profits of the Gondolier Sun that laid the basis for the launch of our daily in Charlotte County that now serves Charlotte, North Port, Englewood and DeSoto County." "It is rewarding to see the FPA bestow such a prestigious honor on Bob Vedder," Venice Gondolier Sun publisher Tim Smolarick said. "Bob was a fearless publisher for over 30 years and contributed much to his community and to the FPA." Born and raised in Urbana, Ill., Vedder followed his father, the late Byron Vedder, into the news business after gradua- tion from DePauw University, where he majored in history. He joined Dow Jones and Company, where he advanced to national production man- ager of worldwide operations before moving to Venice SUN PHOTO BY CHRIS PORTER Patrick Dorsey, publisher of the Tallahassee Democrat and president of Florida Press Association, presented the FPA Hall of Fame Award to retired Venice Gondolier Sun publisher Bob Vedder Saturday in Destin.

"I don't know that I have ever worked for a publisher who cared more about his employees," Sun editor Brooky Brown said. Brown was editor of the Venice Gondolier Sun in 1998-99 and returned to the paper in 2006 after serving as an editor for a Gannett daily in Ohio. "Bob has high standards and wasn't shy about letting politicians and organizations know when he felt they weren't meeting them," said Gondolier Sun editor Bob Mudge. "He wasn't afraid to make people mad to serve the greater good. But even people who felt betrayed by an endorsement or column ended up as his friends again because they knew he was always being true to himself." "Bob Vedder was totally passionate about our local newspaper and the commu- nity it served," Welcome Home manager Linda Shinsky said. As prominent a place as Vedder has in publishing, it is as a friend to local people, organizations and causes that most people know him best. Organizations benefiting from the Vedder fundraising touch include the Venice Art Center, the Venice Public Library, the Francis T. Bourne Jacaranda Library, the Loveland Center, United Way of South Sarasota County, the South County Family YMCA, the gazebo in downtown Venice, the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce, the Venice High School Band, Venice Theatre and Rotary Futures atVenice High School. "The Rotary Futures College Resource Center was Bob Vedder's vision, but it was his determination that resulted in the formation of our pro- gram," Rotary Futures College Resource Center director Kim Kindell said. "He sourced the initial funding from the Kathleen Caitlin Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, and he organized the working board of directors from the Venice community. The success of Rotary Futures over the past 10 years can be directly attributed to Bob's continued commit- ment, and he still serves as president of the board." Scott Pinkerton, director of Pinkerton Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, worked with Vedder to raise funds for Loveland, the cham- ber of commerce and Rotary Futures. "Bob is a rare breed," he said. "He is a combination of a professional journalist willing to get in anyone's face at any time but really has the com- munity at heart. "His vision with Rotary Futures was phenomenal. He even provided a funding source and that has really impacted the success of the program. It is beyond what he started. This year it was responsible for more than $6 million in scholarships. He had such a vision as to how to structure it. Had it been structured as part of the school system, it would have been cut by now. "It is rare to have someone who can dress you down as a community paper should and to have the ability to raise money like he did that shows he was always fair. And, despite his spelling, he is a better journalist than a golfer. This community would not be what it is today without him." Once committed to a proj- ect, Vedder will do anything to promote the cause: dress in drag, camp all night in the rain for Relay For Life or wait tables as an area "celebrity." "He's known for having more high-heeled shoes than most women in Venice," longtime Gondolier Sun employee Darlene Willis said. "That shows that he will go to any length to make sure goals are met whether for Relay For Life or Loveland or getting the paper out." Vedder helped to found the Venice High School Foundation and the Linebacker Club, was on the first board of The Venice Foundation (today known as Gulf Coast Community Foundation) and sits on the board of the recently organized Library Foundation of Sarasota County. "Bob Vedder has been an invaluable contributor to the Library Foundation board and to the board committees on which he serves," said Bob and Pat Gussin of Longboat Key, founders of Oceanview Press and fellow library foundation board members. "His insight and energy played a major role in the establishment of the foundation. He is a pleasure to serve with and inspires us all." Vedder served as president of the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce, the Sertoma Club of Venice, Big Brothers and Sisters and the Nokomis Elementary PTA. An ardent rose grower in his spare time, he is working to bring flower baskets and plantings to downtown Venice through Venice Area Beautification Inc. and has been on the VABI board since 2011.

Photographers in Sarasota and along the Cultural Coast which includes Venice have been invited to take part. The local time for the contest is 9-11 p.m. on Thursday, July 13. The Island Village Mon- tessori School in Venice has a longtime associa- tion with Vladimir. The International Photo Contest is called "A Day Together - July 13, 2012." Vladimir has 20 sister cities in 12 countries. "Unfortunately, often our cooperation remains largely on paper," said a Russian spokesman. "But we want to be real friends. So let us start small, and tell each other about ourselves using photo- graphs. We are sure that this project will become a serious step forward in a new period of our cooperation. As we say in Russia: 'It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.' Well, let us show each other how we look." Everyone is wel- come to participate in this project. Just take a camera, shoot something special during the designated time and submit the photos. To keep to the natural rhythm of this day, every sister city (from east to west) is to use the exact same global hours for photographing. Requirements: There should be images of people in the photos. Photos have to express the rhythm of the city, to show some scenes of daily living in the city and of its citizens. Submit your pho- tographs in raw image format. Submit not fewer than five photos per photographer. SHOOT 3 Library Foundation launched STAFF REPORT Sarasota County's library system has a new champion. The Library Founda- tion for Sarasota County has been established to ensure the libraries' future as an indis- pensable community resource. A nonprofit corpora- tion, the foundation will raise private funds to complement public tax support, increase public awareness of the impor- tance of libraries and keep the libraries in the forefront of technology and services. "The foundation exists to enhance the libraries' offerings to serve the intellectual capital in Sarasota County," said former Gondolier Sun publisher Bob Vedder, a foundation board member. Although the founda- tion is not a part of Sara- sota County government, it will work closely with the library system, the county's Library Advi- sory Board and existing Friends' groups at all nine county libraries. While the Friends raise money for individual libraries, the foundation will address big-picture, system-wide needs. Former Sarasota County Commissioner Shannon Staub, known for her passion about libraries when in office, is the foundation's president. "I am honored to be part of this effort because I am a lifelong library lover and user." Staub said. "Libraries are more important than ever. The foundation will help our libraries meet current challenges and serve future generations." The board, made up of residents from through- out the county, includes best-selling author John Jakes, as well as com- munity leaders with vast experience in philan- thropy and civic affairs. The foundation's launch coincides with the library system's recent designation as Library of the Year by the Florida Library Association. The founda- tion's first project will be a year-long educational campaign celebrating that award. Despite the award and the popularity of the library system (74 percent of Sarasota County residents hold library cards, and 10,000 people visit one of the nine libraries every day), significant challenges loom. County and state support for our librar- ies has decreased every year since 2007, causing significant reductions in staffing, collections and hours. "That's why the foundation is essential," said board member Charlie Huisking. "We're not going to replace the county's support, but supplement it with private money for pro- grams, collections and new technology. "We will also raise awareness that modern libraries are about far more than books. They also offer access to com- puters, e-books, online databases, all kinds of information that is essential in this complex world." "Libraries should always be centers of free education, no matter what format or technol- ogy," said Jakes, a board member whose historical novels have sold mil- lions of copies around the world. "Times will inevitably change but good libraries will always fit that definition." The foundation sup- ports the goals of the library system: Enhancing learning and literacy for all ages Increasing innovation and technology advances Providing resources for people and busi- nesses in transition Building a strong community through civic engagement The foundation will seek donors large and small to support the pos- sibilities for the future of our libraries.

Venice Moose sets world record By AUDREY BLACKWELL ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR For the first time in the history of Moose Interna- tional, one Moose lodge has taken all three of its top annual Shining Star awards. And the winner is Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 1308, Venice. The awards Shin- ing Star Administration, Shining Star Lodge and Shining Star Chapter were announced at the annual conference held in Tampa June 29 through July 4. "It is quite an honor," said Bill Birk, lodge administrator. "For the first time in the history of Moose International, a lodge, our lodge, won all three top awards." The Venice lodge is one of about 1,700 Moose centers across the U.S., Canada, Great Britain and Bermuda that pro- vide more than 1 million members with family- oriented social, dining and sports activities. Birk believes several things cast his lodge in a favorable light.

He said the Venice Moose keeps the facility clean and "we do the right thing." Mooseheart, near Chicago, is a home for children whose families cannot care for them. Moosehaven, in Orange Park, Fla., provides hous- ing for seniors. The Venice lodge's 2011-12 budget included $16,630 given through endowment funds to Mooseheart and Moosehaven. Lodge No. 1308 also gives scholarships to Ven- ice High School seniors and grants to the Make- A-Wish Foundation, the Sheriff's Youth Ranch and more charitable causes. It donated $421,434 worth of coupons to troops in 2011-12. This isn't the first time the Venice lodge has been recognized by national headquarters. It was named a premier lodge in 2012 for the fourth consecutive year. That award is at the platinum level. Birk said he appreciates the work of the many volunteers who keep the lodge running smoothly and the members who get involved in its functions. "We will plan a festival sometime in the near future as a recognition and to thank everyone for supporting the lodge," Birk said.

Its first visit was to a local preschool, The Toy Box in Englewood. Dur- ing Be Kind to Animals Week, the staff taught preschoolers how to correctly greet a dog. The children were so excited when they saw Kokomo, the dog that is Paws And Claws' store mascot. Many in the community may be familiar with Kokomo from seeing him sitting on a bench greeting cus- tomers at The Dome in Venice or the location at Olde Englewood Village on Dearborn Street. During the visit, the children were shown how to curl their hand with the back of the hand facing upward to allow the dog to sniff it. Since dogs recognize people by their scent, it was emphasized how important this is before gently petting the dog under the chin or on the chest. Each child then approached Kokomo in a gentle manner, as they were taught during the lesson. This exercise was not only educational but a lot of fun as well. At the end of the pre- sentation, the children were given dog cookies for their family dog and a coloring sheet to take home with a How to Greet A Dog illustration. Those who had cats were given a cat toy. Contact Paws And Claws for further details about this community outreach program at 941-474-7444.

"You got to be really old to get that award," said friend and former Little League associate Rich Carroll. "He used to umpire on Tuesday with Larry Heath for eight or nine years and before that he was a coach and manager. After that he and Heath used to umpire. That is what made him such a good debater. He used to make so many bad calls and people were always upset with him. "Now he is so old, he needs a stroke counter Rocky Horror Show" will run Oct. 12 through Nov. 3.

"But truthfully, Bob is one of the great assets of Venice. So many people know that he has done so much for this com- munity but there is so much more that no one knows about. I miss him now even though I know he is trying to hone his golf game." Longtime Vedder golf foursome member Andy Britton, a Venice attorney, has known him since the days when the paper was purchased by the group headed by Derek Dunn-Rankin. "Bob Vedder quickly became involved with community activities and wrote a column in the newspaper in which he discussed (and All those auditioning should wear comfort- able clothing suitable for dancing as there will be dance involved.

When he started, the coaches were required to umpire some of the other teams' games, and Bob at first had a reputation as an umpire that I would describe as well, my mother told me if I couldn't say something good about someone ... you know. He did wind up coaching the Little League All-Star team. "Bob and his sons also managed a huge baseball card operation out of his garage in Nokomis.

This hilarious comedy "Bob was a good guy to go on a golfing trip, although I do recall an incident or two where our group may not have won the 'most likely to be invited back' award. And I should add that it was the clear consensus of the golfing group that Bob not be the driver of the rental car or van. It is hard to describe being a passenger with Bob when he is driving a motor vehicle, but if you have ever taken a ride in a Boston taxicab, you might have some clue. "I am pleased that Bob will receive yet another award from the Florida Press Association." Other honors that have come Vedder's way include: life membership in the Venice Kiwanis Club; selection for the Sarasota CountyVideo Hall of Fame; the Sam is about a young couple, Jerry and Alice Sloan, who have taken in Alice's argumentative father, Abe, due to his health problems.

What action do you take? A In the immediate seat you do not have enough to double for takeout since you do not have a good enough holding in hearts. In the balancing seat, you may balance with one notrump. With 15-18 points and the enemy suit stopped, you would start with a double. Q 2 North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold: AAJ10 7 6 5 K 9 10 9 4 75 Your right-hand opponent opens with one heart. What action do you take?

A With the opponents bidding having suggested they do not have much of an advantage in high cards, it is time for you to tell partner you would like to compete in the auction. Bid two no trump!

BEST FROM PAGE 6 Texas, from 1905 to 1973. The business was established by Miss Jessie Williams and continued after her death under the proprietorship of Edna Milton. Both women were known for running a tight ship and being protective of their "girls." Operating without fanfare or protest for de- cades, the Chicken Ranch encouraged support from the townspeople by purchasing supplies from local stores on a rotating basis. Milton also contributed to local civic causes, becoming one of La Grange's largest philanthropists. The musical depicts what happens when crusad- ing television reporter Melvin P. Thorpe (based on real-life Houston news personality Marvin Zindler and played by Tony DeNiro) decides to make the illegal activity an issue. Although the show is mostly just good fun, director Brad Wages stressed to his cast members that it's a true story about real people. He has encouraged them to think about the issues surrounding the story and to remember that they are portraying flesh-and-blood people, not caricatures. The original Broadway production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" ran from 1978 until 1982 for 1,584 performances. It was nominated for six Tony Awards and won two.

ERENE ROMANSKI CHIROPRACTOR According to a recent population-based survey, more than one-quarter of all Americans experience pain at any given time during the day. The activities associated with the highest average levels of pain were lawn care, care-giving among women, and sports and exercise among men. Moreover, blue- collar workers were more likely to suffer from daily pain than white-collar workers. Now that we know how prevalent pain is, the question is: what do we do about it? For some, "pain management" seems to be an answer of sorts. This generally involves masking pain with medication, which has its risks. Alternatively, chiropractic suggests directly addressing the underlying factors that cause pain, as a means of eliminating it. Which treatment makes more sense?

You might even consider bringing your putter along for this show which continues through Oct. 8. The exhibit includes a 9-hole miniature golf course. Each hole was designed by a different artist and will be installed inside the museum's main gallery by July 18. Also part of the show is the "World's Smallest Version of the World's Largest Miniature Golf Course,' designed by Erika Nelson of Lucas, Kan. As American as apple pie, miniature golf courses proliferated after World War II, bringing the new variation on the old Scottish game to the masses in the "Colonies." Just as artists had a hand in designing those early miniature courses, artists of today used their imaginations to add some additional embel- lishments and new ideas to the miniature golf concept, even taking inspiration from one of the world's greatest players, Tiger Woods. Artist Scott Maziergos of Portland, Ore., crafted a unique tiger-shaped hole of wood pieces in homage to the PGA star. Aim your ball into the mouth of the tiger. If you hit it just right, the ball will pop out of the Tiger's tail and roll directly into the hole which is behind a putting right-handed player. Other holes include: "A Hole" by Cynthia Chang and Misha Kahn of Duluth, Minn.; "Chasm" by Alex Heffesse of Brooklyn; "Hard to Swallow" by Boca artist Jeane Cooper; "In or Out" by Francisca Pisfil of Miami; "The Life Hole" by Jeff Whipple of Jacksonville; "Mini Golf in the Swamp with John Muir" by Charles Falarara and Sri Prabha of Miami; "Toward the Black Hole" by Steven Gutierrez of Chardon, Ohio; and "Trapped in Paradise" by Robert Reed of Honolulu, Hawaii. The designs resulted from a call to artists seeking miniature golf hole designs. The result, according to a museum spokesman, is" a unique exhibition that explores the fusion between art, design and play." Putters will be available for those viewers who do not bring their own clubs with which to orbit the Sun, roll into a black hole or tiger mouth or operate the paddles of a pinball machine-inspired hole. Non-golfers are likely to enjoy the whimsy of it all. Also on display through Oct. 14 is "Glass Act" which "celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement in the United States." Included in that show are works by Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey, Kyohei Fujita, Harvey Littleton and others who have advanced the movement of making glass in private studios as opposed to work in glass factories. Both shows are included in the regular admission PHOTO CCLIPTES., .F BC--' P-T-.jl ..1LUSELIUP1 ,F -PT Artist Scott Maziergos of Portland, Ore., crafted a unique tiger-shaped hole of wood pieces in homage to PGA star Tiger Woods. price.

Learn about the dinosaurs that once roamed, their habitat, diet, and predators, then enter the simulator prepared to "Be the Dinosaur" in the virtual world. It's eat or be eaten so the race is on to learn all you can to survive. The exhibit is like no other, combining the eye- popping dinosaur skulls and models that are the hallmark of dinosaur exhibitions with advanced com- puter simulators linked together to allow visitors to completely immerse themselves in the Cretaceous, take the controls and "Be the Dinosaur." Applying lessons learned about different dinosaur species, their habitat, predators, and in some cases prey, they will embark of a quest for survival, seeking food, water, shelter and safety. Dig into paleontology in the field station, climb aboard the dinosaur safari jeep to navigate the world of the dinosaurs and role play using dino- saur models on a 3D Cretaceous landscape. Museum admission is $8 for children or stu- dents with ID (ages 3 and up), $10 for seniors (age 55 and up) and $12 for adults.

Happy 149th birthday Henry Ford BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Leading up to Henry Ford's 149th birthday anniversary celebration July 30, the Edison & Ford Winter Estates has a full calendar. The newest addition to an already busy schedule is the new program, "When Music Was Magic ... Edison's Phonographs," which honors his favorite invention. Consider that the man secured 1,093 patents in his lifetime. But first, on Saturday a garden talk about tropical fruits, beginning at 9 a.m. Edison, the consummate researcher, grew all manner of fruit and other plants on his land, including such things as Jackfruit, mangoes, black sapote and lychees. Jackfruit is the largest tree fruit and can outweigh a water melon. Edi- son & Ford staff will conduct the talk, pointing out fruit currently on trees and vines as well as additional plants, vines and trees and their cultivation. These talks are free for members and $5 for others. After the talk, enjoy a 20 percent discount in the garden shop at the estates. The new music series begins Monday, with additional programs on July 20, 23 and 27 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. John Kurdyla, an Edison expert and phonograph collector from Padua, Italy, and curatorial volunteer Fred Stebbins will offer hands-on demonstrations and presentations of the phonograph for paid museum visitors and members. July 30, the estates will celebrate Ford's birth with antique car program lectures and museum demonstrations about Ford's cars and engines at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and a 10 percent discount on Ford items in the shops. Lectures are free for anyone paying admission to the museum and laboratory. Twitterers can catch the Ford quote of the day all month at Twitter @edisonfordfl. Tuesday, garden staff will lead special tours of the 20-acre site beginning at 10:30 a.m. Learn about the evolution of the gardens which incorporate Mina Edison's plans for beautiful garden areas as well as Edison's goal to grow plants useful for his research on such products as rubber. These tours are $40 for non-members, free for members and include an audio wand. Weather permitting on Wednesdays and Thursday, enjoy a special Edison & Ford tour, bu .llel I.nl li jl iIe R.:.val Paln ,W ,l'il C l .b jnd b,:,ai cri.ise :.n ll'ie C:I' :,,:,sa 1ial'L'ieP River will'i c.:.iriirieilm ry by i nl li.ir lisi I.:.r l $4 per p ir.: .n I.:.r d'.ills j nl d I ij I $ :.r Chl'ildreni 12' iand v:'n.ii er C'. ll 2 ' .4 41".4l' I:r reserve l n:'ns 'nd ,:,r a dd ln:.nl'a l niil.:.riln li.:.n incll.din inil.:.rir a il.:.nl L.:'..i Iniliv'enll:'r's 5n.iinniimn n r Cii'ip I,:r si.idenisl TIlie ne:..I sess.:,n 'Tuine Tr'.velers" bensn 'M.:.n'l:-ayv Tiie Edis.:.n .'l F.:.rd VVinier Esialee is ,l 2''5,:,1 MGre,.:.r Blvd F.:.rl Myers Thle Esialies and gardens a Fl.:rnd Hisl.:,riL Landmarl and I r :la Jl: l Relisier Hisl.:.ric, ile are .:.pen daily Ir.:.mii *' j i I:.

HOFFMAN STAFF WRITER Clyde Butcher's photographs of Florida portray the Sunshine State's natural features in a way few have seen.You may have been to the Everglades and viewed the vast expanse of water and grass, but you almost certainly have not seen it the way Butcher does. Butcher is the quintessential photographer of Florida's natural beauty. His photos are big - grandiose and it may surprise you that they are black and white. If you have not seen Butcher's photos before or visited one of his two studios, you owe it to yourself to see them in person and experience his vision of Florida's landscapes. The South Florida Museum in Bradenton is presently show- ing several of his photos in its East Gallery in an exhibit titled "Preserving Eden." The exhibit includes descriptive posters, along with some videos, giving the viewer a glimpse of who Clyde Butcher is and how he approaches his work; but the real attraction is being able to view his magnificent images up close and to be able to stand back and appreciate the scale and grandeur of his landscapes. Butcher creates his images with a variety of large-format film cameras, up to an imposing 12" x 20" camera mounted on a sturdy tripod. He will sometimes take the tripod and camera right into the water to get the best vantage point for his im- ages in swamps and along the shore. Some of his photos are up to 5 ft. by 9 ft., yet the clarity and degree of detail in his large images is surprising. Asked why his work is in black and white, rather than color, Butcher said, "Color is a dupli- cation of nature; black and white is an interpreta- tion" When everything is reduced to grayscale, he says, everything becomes one, just as everything SUN PHOTO BY SUSAN E. HOFFMAN A volunteer feeds "Snooty," a captive manatee, with bunches of Romaine lettuce. Snooty is the oldest manatee known in captivity and his 64th birthday will be celebrated at the museum July 21. in nature is one. Butcher says he finds the time he spends in nature working on his photos to be rejuvenating, a spiritual experience, and he hopes through his work he can "get people out to enjoy nature again,' and to keep it the way it is.'We need to keep the landscape, keep the wilderness," Butcher said, "to keep our souls." Butcher has received widespread recognition for his work and accumulated many awards, including the Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award in 2000, the Lifetime Achievement Award in Nature Photography in 2005, and the Florida Artist Hall of Fame Award the highest award that can be given to a private citizen. He has been the subject of several films, including a documentary by Emmy-award-winning Ken Burns. Some of his photos sell for over $20,000. Clyde Butcher's photos are on exhibit at the South Florida Museum through Aug. 26. While you are there, be sure to visit many of the other wonderful displays, including a life-sized PHOTO COURTESY OF CLYDE BUTCHER "Dunes" Butcher says, "These dunes are now covered with houses. They were located in the Panhandle on Cape San Bias, south of the state park. It took me a week of waiting before I captured this picture."

Admission is $15.95, $13.95 (seniors), $11.95 (children); group rates available. Free parking.

Bandana rocks Venice Theatre BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Saturday, the main stage at Venice Theatre will be rocking with Bandana, a hometown favorite with a world of talent. Remember'"Wooly Bully?"Tony Gerace sang that hit for years while touring with Sam the Sham. Gerace played and sang on that hit with his next group the Pharaohs as he continued to rock his way around the world through the '60s and '70s. These days, the man who also sang with Mitch Miller, and was a guest on the Johnny Carson and Milton Berle shows, among others, lives in Venice where he came to raise a family after a stellar career. Fortunately for Venice, he only gave up touring - not rocking. In 1990, he formed Bandana and has gathered a legion of area fans in the ensuing years. Performing with Gerace are Steve Shower on keyboards, Billy "Del Ray" Smith on bass, Gary Arnold on drums and Larry Kuran on guitar. Like Gerace, they have arrived in the Venice area from all over the country and, best of all, they all sing as well as play their various instruments, resulting in Bandana's unique, yet classic rock sound. The concert, one of four summer musical shows, is a fundraiser for the Venice Theatre Guild's scholarship fund to aid students pursuing college studies in theatre arts. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Saturday Tickets are $20. Order online at www.venicestage.com or from the box office at 941-488-1115.The box office summer hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays and one hour before all performances. Venice Theatre is at 140 W.Tampa Ave., on the island in Venice. Marissa, Valentina, Antonio and Adriana Mangiafico visited with Santa at last year's Christmas in July at the Cultural Center of Charlotte County in Port Charlotte.

The summer camp students and teachers are proud to present this original play by Ronald Krine Myroup, Venice Theatre's playwright- in-residence. The production will feature 57 TheatreFest students on the theatre's MainStage at 7 p.m. Friday and at 11 a.m. Saturday. Myroup says this summer's script is a spoof of popular gangster films of the 1920s. "Instead of fighting prohibition, the gangsters are fighting a ban on sweets and desserts," Myroup laughed. His script is infused with big musical numbers like "Be Our Guest,' "Hey Big Spender,' "Luck Be a Lady," "Copacabana," "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outa My Hair" and "Everything's Com- ing up Roses." The hero of the show, Rocky Studds Malone, owner of The Marquee Club, is being played by Pine View seventh grader Charlie Kollar. Reese Balliet, a familiar face to Venice Theatre patrons who is entering the seventh grade at L.A. Ainger Middle School, portrays night club singer, Lilac. Isabella Smith has been cast as Lilac's rival, singer Autumn Snow. The cast also features veteran Venice Theatre student performers Nathan Oss, Ava Podewitz, Anna Sand-Lambert, Samantha Calandra, Logan Schultz, Thomas Junker, Natalie Taylor, Jason Gill, Casey Berkery, Haley Vidolin and ZacharyYounts. The six-week camp is the cornerstone of Venice Theatre's summer camp program, TheatreFest. Geared toward more experienced performers, the goal is for them to learn as much as possible about what it takes to put on a show. The students participated in audition workshops, followed by formal auditions. Director Kelly Duyn quickly made her casting decisions and then began the rehearsal process. The six-week experience closes with a full-scale musical performance. "The opportunity to perform at the end of the summer rewards the students for their hard work and gives them a chance to hear the applause of an audience. It also gives parents a chance to witness the tremendous value of the TheatreFest program,' said Candace Artim, TheatreFest administrator and the theatre's assistant director of education and outreach. "I'm thankful to the parents and families for allowing their children to discover their creative potential,' she added. Sandy Davisson, Venice Theatre's director of education and outreach, commented, "The per- forming arts are a fun way for students to not only hone their creativity and imaginations, but learn about cooperation, discipline and problem-solving skills necessary to become future leaders." This year's TheatreFest staff are Kelly Duyn, director for acting and technical theatre; Lori Gaddis, music director and Cathleen McClendon, choreographer. Teachers have been assisted by camp interns technical apprentice Shane Oss, Emma Vitolo, Charlotte Bliss, Sky Sellitti, Kenzie Balliet and Alex Guelzow. Tickets are $8 with proceeds supporting the theatre's education and outreach programs. They can be purchased by calling 941-488-1115 or online at www.venicestage.com. The Theatre is located at 140 Tampa Ave. W, Venice. For more information about Venice Theatre's education and outreach programs and for a schedule of upcoming fall classes, call 941-486-8679. Lilac (Reese Balliet, 12, a seventh-grade student at L.A. Ainger Middle School) gives her arch rival, Autumn Snow (Isabella Smith, 11, sixth-grader at Punta Gorda Middle School) the evil eye as she is not happy that the-up-and coming singer is replacing her at The Marquee Club and stealing her man away from her. /- Leola Brown, 8, and her dinner date Logan Schultz, 8, listen to The Marquee Club specials from their waitress (Payton Cusimano, 13) only to find out there is no pie on the menu. Mikey Mozzarella (Tristan Laham, 13) threatens The Marquee Club's sous chef (Nate Oss, 10) with a pie in his face. The show girls, Taylor Reister, 11, Ava Podewitz, 9, Seraphin Brown, 11, Anna Sand-Lambert, 12, sing and dance back-up to both Isabella Smith, 11, and Reese Balliet, 12, arch rivals in the musical "CSI: The Pie Wars." Highwaymen come to Venice Art Center BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR As part of its summer art show, Venice Art Center will feature works by Florida's legendary "Highwaymen." "They don't often display on this coast," VAC director Mary Morris said. "We will have 20 pieces in our show." Primarily self-taught, the group of African- American artists reached the peak of their careers in the 1960s and 1970s. There was just one woman in the group of 26 Mary Carroll. Tree trunks and car trunks were used as easels. They painted in oil and framed their own works with painted wood molding otherwise used for trim on houses.The artists painted Florida scenes as an idyllic break from their everyday jobs in factories or fields. Most paintings were sold before the oil was dry and at prices generally Lzz My Htandllu o DIUi I rdllUdrldam 9 day land tour visiting England, Scotland & Wales plus a 13 day spring transatlantic sailing! fr. $1,899 49 Day South America Splendor 16 Day (arib-Beantown Rail & Sail Sail Los Angeles to New York Sail from Tampa to Jamaica, Curagao, Aruba, St. Maarten, via exotic ports in Mexico, St. Thomas & Boston.

At 11 a.m. July 18, local artist Karen Hitt will speak about plein air (out of doors) painting, which is what the Highwaymen became known for, often painting their scenes in as little as an hour.

July 11-17, 2012 GO IN THE KITCHEN Chef Al Kanacevic La Stanza Ristorante BY DEBBIE FLESSNER SUN CORRESPONDENT When Al Kanacevic was growing up in Yugoslavia, becoming a chef special- izing in Italian cooking was probably not foremost on his mind. But attending cooking school in Italy achieved just that. "I became a chef and worked in Italian restaurants in New York for 35 years," Kanacevic said. "When I first came to New York, I had some friends who had an Italian restaurant and I worked for them." After three decades, in 2002, another friend, who was involved in La Stanza Ristorante in Englewood, persuaded Kanacevic to move down south and help run it. Later, when the friend decided he was ready to get out of the business, Kanacevic bought out his interest. At the time, La Stanza was on McCall Road, where Beyond the Sea restaurant is now. "In 2010, my lease was expiring over there;, Kanacevic said. "I was looking around and I found this place. It needed a lot of work'" How much work? Well, Kanacevic totally gut- ted the Dearborn Street place and started from scratch. The results were well worth the effort, though, and the dark wood and Italian tile interior is both classic and comfortable. 'We have about 200 seats here now,' Kanacevic said. "I rented for about a year and then I bought the building." Al Kanacevic is the owner of La Stanza Ristorante in Englewood. The larger space enables La Stanza to host groups of up to 100 people in a separate room, and Kanacevic said the restaurant is a popular place for big events. "I do a lot of parties and I get a lot of banquets, weddings, birthdays and seminars,' he said. "I even have a large group of Red Hats who meet here once a month"' Besides the lovely decor, the customers are coming here for the delicious Italian food. "I have this dish called parmesan crusted chicken everybody loves that," Kanasevic said. "It's served with a roasted garlic cream sauce. I also have a lot of veal and seafood dishes that people really seem to like." The veal dishes, a staple of any good Italian menu, are plentiful on La Stanza's menu.Tradi- The interior of La Stanza Ristorante was completely renovated a little more than two years ago. li:,nal lav:rilve: 1, cha c, veal plial1 31ad veal par-. n1lir i 1i a re a iI:-.ed in1 lll'i varialin.:.1,15 s.i ci s v.'-al 05cL'ar and v..eal alla L3 Sl,1-. .:lppiill 'i pr.:.s n..ill.:, I l.: .il.:.e pi l.'-c a'i jnd ii,.:.-;a rell - F.:.r l'i Kai.ii rier K aII Ct-vl. i I ': :'ll.e:ril ji speci'- I .i-nen.i. vill'i li .iler l re .. nid even l..an e:,.penii..e price e Thiere jre t ill plenty :-.l palSj c l'ei nll ea.i':,:,d beel Ijnd V.e'I I.eiecLi:i11i .: I c i: :,,,se .Ir i ol.:. al irien.ni ndI .ii v c".I 1 a.' .:.rder Ir.:iri ll'ie re' i.illa r iienIll. il v.:.i 1.:1 '1's lie jna enrly-bLrd ir.en'.i" K'll.x.cevil .idI .Bul v:i.i: C 1-l .er iI 1illi n lil" Kai c'll' -vic I':ic l.il1draisi.rs l.:.r l.:.ca l c 'arilie-, I11 hiEo re '-lai.irn':l aI rec-gi.ilr L'iE C.

GO SPOTLIGHT Camping as it ought to be BY JON BAUMANN SUN CORRESPONDENT There's something about camping in the great outdoors, sleeping under the stars, enjoying the fresh air that reminds us of a simpler time in life. Camping brings back memories of Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone and the wild frontier. The award-winning Peace River Campground, located at 2998 Highway 70, just west of downtown Arcadia, offers that experience and so much more. "This is a destination campground,' said George Lempenau, who along with his wife Johnny, has owned the Peace River Camp- ground since 1992. "What we're selling here, basically, is an experience."

It allows friends who don't want to stay together in only one camper the chance to share the camping experience together." Campers are outgoing, friendly people,; Lempenau explained.

Originated in 1996 and purchased six years ago by Bill and Stacey Esposito, Bianca's features great food, family friendliness and a welcoming atmosphere. "It's family dining. The food would qualify as fine dining,' explained Bianca's Floor Manager, Justine Rooney. "It's excellent service in a family restaurant" The restaurant offers a full bar and a variety of wine selections to choose from with your meal. Chef Svoboda, who has been with the restaurant since it opened, offers specials such as coconut shrimp, scungili marinara and lobster ravioli to go along with classic Italian dishes of fettuccini, ziti, ravioli, veal and many others, always using ingredients that are fresh, never frozen.

KINa Bill and Kathy Baker I L ff Sunnybreeze Golf Course: Affordable, natural, relaxed When you step out onto the Sunnybreeze Golf Course, you know you're somewhere special, somewhere different. There are no houses backing up to the fairways, and no highway noise to break the spell. Instead, you're surrounded by 200-year-old oak trees, pine trees, marshes, ponds and wildlife. The relaxed pace at Sunnybreeze matches its tranquil surroundings. "We're a family friendly course, and we allow walkers at all times of the day," said Bill Baker, who owns Sunnybreeze with his wife, Kathy. Sunnybreeze is open to the public but offers membership options too. For a one-time "partnership fee" of $750 or $1000, plus $500 for each additional family member, golfers can lock in lifetime daily, monthly or annual golfing rates. So regardless how much rates may increase from year to year, Lifetime Members' rates will never increase. Bill and Kathy Baker moved to the area from Michigan in 1974 and served as managers of the course until they bought it in 1977. It began as a nine-hole course but had 27 holes by 1984. In 1991, the Bakers built a 15,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, which was a casualty of Hurricane Charley in 2004. The couple rebounded with an outdoor lunch spot -- Bistro on the Green -- outside of the pro shop, complete with an authentic Chickee Hut built onsite by Florida Seminole and Miccosukee Indians. The bistro has a large lunch menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and more, including the daily special of $1 hot dog and $1 draft beer. Today, Sunnybreeze offers golfers a choice of a picturesque yet challenging 18-hole course or a nine-hole par three course. Sunnybreeze's friendly, relaxed atmosphere is due, in part, to their longtime staff members who make sure every golfer feels welcome. Pat Rodman has been assisting in the pro shop since 1999. Food service manager Amy Kyre and course superintendent Rob Cooley make sure those areas run smoothly. Lessons are also available through instructor/ coach Dave Faulk and LPGA pro Bonnie Bryant. Sunnybreeze often hosts charity events and fundraisers for groups. They also welcome all kinds of business and social groups that want to schedule regular golf outings. Sunnybreeze is located at 8135 SW Sunnybreeze Road, technically in Arcadia but near Ft. Ogden. Their convenient location on the Charlotte/DeSoto county line makes them a piece of serenity that's accessible from all directions. The course is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. You'll find directions and more information on their website, www.sunnybreezegolf.com or call them at 863-494-2521. Bill, Kathy and the rest of the Sunnybreeze family is waiting to welcome you. 446920 Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, North Por, Englewood & Venice r*~ Let's Go! I "Experience ...

'Puss In Boots' takes stage BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Cat lovers may consider "Puss in Boots" just your average cat, but readers of Charles Perraut's classic fairy tale know otherwise - or do they? Theater goers can decide for themselves this summer when Puss takes over the main stage at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre for special lunchtime performances following a noon buffet of children's favorites such as chicken nuggets and pizza and the palm's famous sundae fixings. Puss is the only thing bequeathed to the third son by its original owner who left his business to his firstborn and mules to the middle son. Adding to the youngest son's misery is the fact that the cat is intent on having a pair of boots. When he gets them from his new owner, Puss makes good on his promise by befriending a king with gifts and then manages a "chance" meeting of the young son and the king's daughter. The resulting marriage makes the young man "I?- First Place For Ribs And Bar-B-Que Restaurant SOLUTHERIN a royal and better yet, makes Puss a royal cat who can catch mice if he wants to or not. "Puss In Boots" will be presented at 1 p.m. today, Friday, Sunday as well as July 19, 20, 21, 25, 27 and 29 and Aug. 2, 3 and 4. The buffet begins at noon. Tickets are $15 per person, for all ages. To order, visit www.broadwaypalm.com or call the box office at 239-278-4422. The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre is located at 1380 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers. Fishing with Captain Ryan BY JON BAUMANN SUN CORRESPONDENT Like many, Ryan Rowan loves to fish. As it turns out, he's good enough to make a liv- ing at it. Captain Ryan runs a fishing charter service that guarantees that his customers will catch a fish when they go out with him or else they don't pay a thing. "You say you want to catch a snook, I can go do that.You want redfish, I can do that," Rowan explained. "That's a part of being a professional guide.You have to be ready to catch everything." With inshore charters his specialty, Rowan provides everything needed to catch a fish on a charter adventure with nothing but the best. Fin- Nor rods and reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, water and ice are all included in the charter price of $100 an hour for two customers, with an extra $50 charged for a third angler. "There's no more than three on the boat fishing"' Rowan said. Three's comfortable, four's crowded"' Leaving from the Placida Park boat launch, charters range from four to eight hours in length with the six hour fishing trip being the most popular. "A lot of charters, lately, have been families, mom, dad and the kids, husbands and wives," Rowan said. "Of course, I get the three buddies on vacation." Children are no additional cost for a fishing charter with the captain. Customers need to provide drinks other than water, if they wish. "Sunscreen, glasses, camera. These are the three main things,' Rowan pointed out. "Bring polarized glasses. My glasses of choice are Wiley X. They supply every branch of the military because they're impact resistant. Definitely sunscreen, because it can get brutal out here' If its a sunny day, a hat is also recommended. Most bring a camera to record their catch for posterity, and then release it back into the waters. "I'm not into killing fish just to kill fish. I try not to do that," Rowan explained."We'll keep an occa- sional snook or trout in the wintertime." However, if it is truly a trophy fish, Rowan will provide clean- ing and bagging services at no additional cost. Born in Georgia in 1971, Rowan moved to Florida when he was a year old. While he started his love of fishing as a child, he really became devoted to the sport in high school. A certified welder out of school, Rowan made the jump to full-time angler due to a reason than many people can identify with. "I got tired of working for everybody else. I wanted to do something on my own," Rowan explained. "Fishing is the only thing I could come up with." Because of his skill, notoriety followed with television, radio and magazine exposure as part of the package that is his career. When not chartering others, Rowan will compete in approxi- mately 10 fishing tournaments a year. The beauty of booking a charter with Rowan is that the customer doesn't need to be an ex- pert angler. "That's probably half my clientele," Rowan explained. Be aware that a few people do become seasick and must decide how to deal with that. Also, expect an early morning as the boat leaves the dock at Placida Park, 6499 Gasparilla Road, Placida, around 5:30 a.m. For more information, call 941-706-5061 or visit www.tarponcaptain.com.

Our sports department is largely a one-person opera- tion, with help from a photo stringer, though photogra- phy skills are a plus. We cover all local sports, with an emphasis on high school athletics at Venice's one high school. The job requires evening and weekend work, including writing on dead- line Tuesday and Friday nights as well as assisting our daily papers when their schools play Venice. We are looking for someone with excellent writing skills, as we are accustomed to our sports editors being fre- quent Florida Press Associa- tion award winners. That includes high-level grammar, spelling and AP Style knowl- edge. Experience with InCopy is a plus. We are hoping to find some- one who can start ASAP in order to spend some time learning the ropes from the current editor. Contact Editor Bob Mudge to apply for the position, bmudge@ venicegondolier.com or 941-207-1101.

DONOHUE: I haven't seen anything in your column lately on diverticulosis or diver- ticulitis. Will you please explain the difference between the two? What can a patient eat or not eat? What medication is taken for them? What causes them? L.M. ANSWER: A colon diverticulum is a small (one-fifth to two-fifths of an inch, a little smaller than a pea) protrusion of the colon lining through the colon wall. It's hollow. The theory behind di- verticula formation is that hard, dry food residue requires the generation of great pressure by the co- lon to push it along. That pressure pushes the colon lining through the colon wall. Experts say that this comes about because our diet has too much refined grains (grains without their bran covering). Unrefined grains (whole grains) retain their outer bran coat, which serves to keep undigested food moist, soft and easily propelled through the colon. Diverticulosis is the condition in which the colon has developed diverticula. Usually it causes no pain. It's quite common. Around 20 percent of people with diverticulosis will come down with inflammation of these protrusions. That's diverticulitis, and it is painful. The pain most often is located in the lower-left side of the abdomen. Mild cases of diver- ticulitis can be treated at home with antibiotics and by taking clear fluids only. In more-severe cases, hospitalization is required, and the person is hydrated with intravenous fluids and given antibiotics. The diet for diverticular disease is a diet high in fiber (25 grams a day for women; 35 for men). Whole grains, vegetables and fruits are high- fiber foods. If you can't get enough fiber from foods, then products like Metamucil, Citrucel and Konsyl will furnish it. It's also wise to cut back on red meats and fats. This isn't a restric- tive diet. In former days, doctors insisted that their patients steer clear of popcorn, nuts, corn and seeds. That's not today's advice. These foods are now permitted. They don't block a diverticulum or lead to diverticulitis. The booklet on Dr. Donohue Readers may write Dr Donohueat -f PO.

I have looked up some of its side effects, and I have experienced many of them. I had a rash, a persistent cough (which has now gone), tinnitus, trouble sleeping and muscle weakness and pain. Do you think lisino- pril is the cause? Are there other medicines I could replace it with? D.L. ANSWER: Lisinopril (brand name Prinivil) lowers blood pressure. It's one of many ACE inhibi- tors, angiotensin-convert- ing inhibitors. They block the conversion of angio- tensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II constricts arteries and thereby raises blood pressure. Lisinopril is only one of a huge horde of blood pressure medicines. Talk to your doctor. He or she can prescribe another with no difficulty. Everything you mention except for tinnitus (ear ringing) is a potential side effect of ACE inhibitors. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have meant to write you in response to the man who thinks he might be an alcoholic. I was shocked that you didn't mention the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. I know the program isn't for everyone. I encourage people with an alcohol problem go to a meeting to check it out. I now have a new life without alcohol or medicines, thanks to AA. C.C. ANSWER: Not mention- ing AA was an inexcus- able omission on my part. It is a program that has rescued many alcohol- ics from an addiction to alcohol, and it's done without having to resort to medications. I have nothing but praise for the program.

Print your N AuNr answer here: kANA AI A Yesterday's Jumbles: Answer: (Answers tomorrow) STRUM OFTEN DIFFER CAMERA He became so good at putting up the sails that he did this MASTERED IT Smart choices for restaurant dining Dear Readers: It is very hard to watch what you eat and make healthy choices, especially when eating out. Here are some hints from the National Institutes of Health for when you are in a restaurant and want to make better choices. Meals today are of such large portions that before you even start to eat, ask that half be wrapped to take home with you. Order an appetizer or two INSTEAD OF a meal. Pay attention to every bite. As soon as you feel satisfied and full, stop eating. Instead of drinks with sugar in them, try water (with lemon or lime added) or a low-calorie soda. Heloise Safety hint Dear Heloise: I remem- ber reading a hint about buying larger packages of meat, chicken, etc., and separating them into smaller portions. After wrapping the individual portions, the writer cut the labels from the packages and placed everything in a plastic bag. I have been doing this for years, but recently something happened that makes this a more impor- tant thing than ever. In the news there was a message to return certain potentially tainted meats. When I saw the package on TV I realized that I may have bought some of it. I went to my freezer and removed the bag of meat. Hints from Heloise I was so glad that I had both the brand of the meat and the label that shows exactly how much and the price, because I did indeed have some of that meat. I had no problem returning it, but had I not had that important information and it turned out my package was tainted, I could have become very sick from it. - Helen, via email Celery tops Dear Heloise: Your comment on celery tops (Heloise here: previous col- umn on eating the leaves) prompted me to write to you, as this is one of my pet peeves! Most grocery stores cut all the tops off celery. I'd like to go to their produce people and ask for all those leaves! Besides salads and sea- sonings, they are wonder- ful in soups. I like to saute celery, with onions, before putting it in a casserole or creamy vegetable soup. It certainly adds a lot of flavor to most foods, so please tell those grocers to leave more of the tops on celery stalks!

We have two boys together. He recently moved back in, and things are going well. We're in our 30s, and I'm ready to be more than girlfriend and boyfriend. I'd like to ask this special man in my life to marry me, but I'm not sure if a woman should ever pro- pose marriage to a man. Should I go ahead and do it, or just be patient and hope that one day he will ask me to take the next big step? LONGING FOR MORE IN TEXAS DEAR LONGING FOR MORE: By all means, ask him to formalize your relationship. After 16 years and two children, you deserve to know where the relationship is going. And when you do, mention that you'd like him to go to the altar will- ingly before the boys are big enough to hog-tie and drag him there to make an "honest woman" of their mother. DEAR ABBY: I have been a vegetarian and anti-fur advocate for many years, and most of my friends and family know it. I feel strongly that wearing fur and leather is cruel and unnecessary, but I don't lecture anyone who doesn't ask my opinion. What would be the proper response when someone gives me an item with real animal fur or genuine leather? It has happened before, and while I appreciate that someone has bought me a gift, I'm horrified and heartbroken seeing what's inside the box when I open it, and disappointed knowing that the person has contributed to the unkind and atrocious fur industry. I find it difficult to bring myself to say "thank you" for some- thing I find so morally abhorrent. What is the appropriate response in this situation? Is it acceptable for me to use this as an opportunity I HOROSCOPE I ARIES (March 21-April 19).Tired people express cranky opinions and complaints- all of which happen to be false.

Good manners dic- tate that you graciously thank the giver and then, if you wish, give the gift a respectful, private burial or regift it to a carnivore. DEAR ABBY: My ex- husband is remarrying. We have always tried to be civil toward each other because of our daughter, who is 16. I try to be the bigger person in dealing with him in order to set a good example for her. He called her last night after not having called her in several weeks and told her that if she wants to be in his wedding, I (mean- ing me) should purchase her dress. I thought it was inappropriate for him not only to tell her that, but also to expect me to pay for it. When I remarried years ago, I never would have dreamed of asking him for money for her attire. My daughter even thinks this is unrealistic. I usually try to keep things positive when it comes to situations with him, but I don't think I'm giving in on this one. Do you agree? EX IN ILLINOIS DEAR EX: You said you try to keep things positive to set a good example for your daughter. While I agree your ex's demand that you pay for the dress is petty (and cheap), be the bigger person one more time and buy it for her if she wishes to participate rather than argue about it. Then cross your fingers and hope it's his last wedding. Venice Gondolier Sun readers: Look for the puzzle solution in the Our Town section. will be starting them.
