Anti-Obama billboard dam< By TREVOR SHIRLEY WWSB 7 They say what goes up must come down, but Sarasota County Republicans did not expect a large campaign billboard, which they put up on Friday, to come down so soon. "Really, we need to get this campaign out of the gutter," said Sarasota County GOP Chair Joe Gruters. "This is unac- ceptable and truly is a disgusting display." The billboard, at south U.S. 41 and Center Road in Venice, originally read "Repeal Obama." However, sometime Saturday night someone cut out the section that read "Repeal." "It doesn't matter if you like the message on the sign or not, at the end of the day its our right as Americans to have the freedom of speech and for people to violate that in any way is wrong," said Gruters. The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crime, which it says is felony criminal mischief. In this heated political landscape, some may be quick to think that local Democrats are respon- sible, a charge Sarasota County Democratic Chair Rita Ferrandino denies. "Well, the Democratic Party certainly doesn't have anything to gain," said Ferrandino, "which is why I'm confident we have nothing to do with it and none of our sup- porters have anything to do with it." State Rep. Doug Holder, though, said he believes the sign was torn down by Obama cam- paigners who recently arrived from Chicago.

Current code allows a 3-foot wall. Homeowner Franklin Hill was seeking a higher privacy wall for his home at 409 South Harbor Drive, citing the slope of the property, which made the allow- able 3 feet seem more like 2 feet. He sought a 2-foot, 4-inch extension. The Architectural Review Board previously OK'd the aesthetic design, but that didn't sway the commission. It voted 4-2 (Commissioner Sid Shrauger was absent) against a compromise plan offered by archi- tect Mark Beebe that would have cut the corners back along the proposed 66-foot-long fence to better observe oncoming traffic. Beebe proposed a HARBOR|7 Contract OK'd for River Road By SCOTT LOCKWOOD STAFF WRITER SARASOTA COUNTY - In about a month, the intersection of U.S. 41 and River Road near North Port will start undergoing a massive face-lift. On Tuesday, Sarasota County commissioners agreed to an $8.7 million contract with Woodruff and Sons Inc. of Bradenton to expand and smooth out the intersection, which features a sharp incline with a drop-off on the South River Road side. "This has been a long time coming," said Commissioner Jon Thaxton, who seconded Commissioner Carolyn Mason's motion to approve the contract. "This is one of those projects where I think, despite the need for other improvements on River Road, you're going to see the performance of the two sections of River Road be greatly enhanced because of these intersec- tion improvements not to mention the safety. The configuration alignment and the contour of the existing intersection is just dangerous. We're very fortunate we haven't had more problems with it than we've had." The main improve- ments of the intersection - which include turn lanes will be eight lanes on the north leg of River Road and seven lanes on the south leg. There will be eight lanes on the east leg of U.S. 41 and six lanes on the west leg; and a 245-foot truss will be built across the intersection to house stoplights. One of the main reasons Woodruff was chosen over three other bidders is due to its experience with trusses. "The truss construc- tion is pretty significant, and it's important to do it right especially because it's on (Florida Department of Transportation) right of way," said Sarasota County Project Manager Robert Fakhri. "This truss will be lengthy and is similar to some you see on Interstate 4 (in Orlando) when you hit Conroy Road. We wanted CONTRACT 7 ...- U S- _-- .'

"This is one of the final components in what has been a three-year success coming to the culmina- tion for the dedication next month at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11, in this very same spot," said Sweeney. There will a full military burial re-enactment with horses, and 12 speakers representing the city, county and the nation.

The Florida Department of Transportation has em- barked on a $20.6 million Freeway Management System to monitor, con- trol and improve safety. Encompassing Sarasota and Manatee counties, it stretches approximately 56 miles along the 1-75 corridor going north from the Charlotte County line near mile marker 172 and ending near mile marker 228 just south of the 1-275 interchange in Manatee County. World Fiber teams up with design partner Jacobs Engineering and Activu for video wall integration in the design, construction, integra- tion and maintenance of the project corridor SIGNS 17 A typical Dynamic Message Sign in the Fort Myers area.

TRIM notices are not prop- erty tax bills; they are notices of proposed property taxes, property values and non-ad valorem assessments. No payment is due at this time. The color TRIM form, which underwent a state- mandated overhaul two years ago, is changed only slightly, said Administrative Director Brian Loughrey of the prop- erty appraiser's office. He said a change to the front side is to make it "easier to understand this year vs. last year." The data fields are the same, he said. According to information from the property appraiser's website, www.sc-pa.com, one improvement is the addition of a quick-response code in the lower right-hand corner that gives property owners the ability to have immedi- ate access to their property information. Those who have a smartphone or a tablet with a reader installed can take a picture of this code and immediately be directed to their property's detail page on the appraiser's website. Once there, owners can view their property's character- istics, past values and maps - even change their address, if needed. Tax notices customarily are mailed out in late October or early November by the tax col- lector after millage rates have been approved by local govern- ments prior to the Oct. 1 begin- ning of the next fiscal year. The rate can be reduced after the TRIM notice is sent out but not increased. TRIM notices also include the date and time of the first budget hearing for each taxing authority. The Sarasota County Commission approved a resolution in July certifying the proposed county not-to- exceed ad valorem tax mill- age rates at 4.0512 mills for FY 2013. The first page of the Sarasota County TRIM notice will show prior-year and current-year data market value, assessed value and taxable value plus exemp- tions, millage rates and taxes proposed for each taxing authority. The second page includes the hearing dates, non-ad valorem assessments and explanations. Property owners have three ways to dispute the value or exemption status of their property. They may request an informal conference with the county property appraiser's office; they can file a petition online or at the county office with the Value Adjustment Board no later than 25 days after TRIM notices are mailed out; or they can file a civil action in circuit court within 60 days of certification of the tax roll (early October), with- out using the first two steps.

SMITH SUN CORRESPONDENT While 55 percent of respondents of the 2012 Sarasota County Citizen Opinion Survey rated life in the county as "excel- lent," 70 percent affirmed their household finances are getting squeezed and 42 percent believed the single biggest threat to the economy was the loss of jobs in the area. The survey was conducted by Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, work- ing in conjunction with the Florida Institute of Government and the telephone marketing firm of Susan Schuler and Associates Inc. Conducted from May 29 to June 20, it consisted of a telephone poll of a random sample of 801 county residents 18 years old or older, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent. MacManus said the survey, which has been administered in the county since 1992, has changed significantly in its focus over the years. "The top concern for a number of years was population growth and development when the economy was hot," MacManus said. "Now, of course, for the last four or five years, it's been concern about the economy and jobs just the opposite." MacManus said county residents' economic concerns were closely tied to their age, gender and income level, with those in the 18-29 age range, women and those with annual incomes of less than $30,000 polling more pessimistically about seeing any im- minent rebound in the economy. "Also, in a lot of those questions, what made a difference in people's opinion was whether they had a young child living with them," she said. "People living with children versus people that don't made for very different perspectives on life in Sarasota County." Citizens ranked the economy and jobs as the most important issue facing the county for the fifth year in a row, although fewer people (3 percent) are as concerned as they have been in recent years, the survey states. The economy and jobs was listed by 36 percent of residents, followed by traffic and transportation (7 percent), popula- tion growth and new development (7 percent), government and elected officials (6 percent), crime (5 percent) and taxes (4 percent). County Commissioner Jon Thaxton was "not surprised" at the sur- vey's primary findings, pointing to the housing- market collapse as the greatest influence on the loss of jobs in the county. "The housing market acts as a kind of sys- temic prop for so many other factions to our economy," Thaxton said. "When construction and the housing market went, so went all the retail- and service-oriented busi- nesses that the construc- tion employment sector also subsidized." Thaxton said that as important as the con- struction and housing industry is and will always be to the county's economy, more diversity in local industries is essential to sustaining it through periods of flux. "That's why over the last three or four years the county commission has been concentrating on bringing in businesses and industries that are not dependent upon single-family resident construction," he said. "Those include medical and research, sports tourism, arts, motion pictures and the creative sector, in terms of young entrepreneurs. All of those are things that the board has been heavily invested in. It would be a mistake to build our economy back solely based on construction, and it would be a mistake to think that you could build the economy back without a strong construction industry." MacManus said a new wrinkle she detected in the 2012 survey was communication and how people are getting their news from various places. More than three- fourths (77 percent) of respondents said they use the Internet. Eighty-five percent have a cellphone, 26 percent have a smartphone and 19 percent have a tablet. Respondents cited tra- ditional forms of e-gov- ernment communication in receiving county news, including news releases (33 percent), e-newsletters (33 percent), email from county commissioners (29 percent) and Facebook (23 percent). Newer forms like Wiki (6 percent), Twitter (5 percent) and Flickr (2 percent) have yet to catch on as much, particularly among older constituents. "Older people are really getting into social media, although they still would prefer to get their news from a newspaper," MacManus said. "Sarasota County is one of the most educated and one of the most civically engaged counties in Florida." Contrary to the distrust Americans feel toward their government leaders at the national level, survey respondents say they trust local officials more. About 35 percent of those surveyed said they trust county leaders "almost always" or "most of the time," compared to 29 percent for federal government leaders and 27 percent for those at the state level. County Commissioner Joe Barbetta was both- ered by the low public trust rating. "That always concerns me," Barbetta said. "Fortunately, we're better than federal or state, but I still think 35 percent is a horrible number. We all should be embarrassed - federal, state and local. That's nothing to be proud of. Public trust is something we strive for every day." Respondents voiced strong opposition to increasing the number of terms county commission- ers may serve, from two to three four-year terms. Just 31 percent supported increasing the number of terms, while 62 percent objected to the idea. Barbetta said the respondents' position on term limits was "impor- tant," and was heartened by the citizens' ratings of county officials' responsiveness. "We got an off-the- charts rating there," Barbetta said. "I mean, 90 percent said we treat- ed them with respect, and 84 percent said we helped them in a timely fashion, while 82 percent said we give them correct information. Those are real positive things." Despite the survey's somewhat mixed reviews, County Commission Chair Christine Robinson valued its results as "extremely important" to the county each year. "We rely on the find- ings as we discuss county policies, our budget and spending priorities and the level of programs and services we pro- vide," Robinson said. "We regularly get input from individual citizens throughout the year, but the survey results rep- resent our community's collective priorities." Barbetta agreed, and took it one step further. "We need to continue to focus on jobs and the economy, and we can always do better," he said. "I think with the Economic Development Council, coupled with our economic incentives for things like sports tour- ism, we're trying to bring more people into the community. Once they're exposed to what we've got here, they will relocate their businesses here or build a home here, or eventually retire here."

Babcock On Friday Aug. 17, 2012, after midnight, Harold Roy "Hap" Babcock crossed over into the arms of our '-:.-~ Lord God and Jesus Christ. Born Oct. 10, 1928, he was the son of the late Orrin and Viola Babcock of Groton, Conn. He was brother to William and Winifred Babcock, also deceased. He served in the Army as a radio operator in Japan. He then went on to run the fermentation lab at Pfizer for 40 years making penicillin. Harold was predeceased by his first wife, Millie, and his first daughter, Pamela Susan Babcock, both of Waterford, Conn. He was a very wonderful father and husband. He is survived by his beloved wife, Yolanda; his daughter, Patricia Karen Babcock, and son-in- law, Peter "Bear" Barna, of Waterford, Conn. Also left behind were stepdaughter Susan De Battista and her husband, Dominic De Battista; and stepson Frank Gohringer. Hap was an avid skeet and pistol shooter and he loved to compete. His passion for airplanes and flying was real and life- long. He loved cooking and growing orchids, telling jokes and playing cards. He loved going to the South Jetty with Bear to watch the boats and dolphins. A belly-buster hot dog would finish out the afternoon. Hap lived and loved graciously, and his love and dedication to those around him never ceased. His love of God was para- mount. He set an example never to be forgotten. He never complained, and his concerns were for those he loved instead of himself. Hap will be greatly missed and always remembered. Services: Services are at Dermatology WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 noon Thursday, Aug. 23, at United Church of Christ, Venice. Contributions: Donations in his memory may be made to United Church of Christ. Frances A. Hertsch Frances Ann Hertsch, of Venice, formerly of Washington, D.C., passed away Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012.

Publish: August 22, 2012 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 Man arrested for sexually molesting young relative A 76-year-old Venice man has been charged with sexually battering young female fam- ily member in 2003, authorities said. According to aVenice KEYS Police Department report, the victim, who lives in Alachua County and has been having behavioral problems and bouts of depression, con- fided the alleged abuse to relatives. They made a report to the sheriff's office in that county on June 26, and the victim was interviewed by a child advocacy center on July 5. The girl told investiga- tors that in the summer of 2003, when she was around 8 years old, she visited Joseph Harvey Keys, who was 67 at the time, in Venice, where he was the caretaker of a home and grounds in the 600 block of Venice Ave. During the visit, Keys allegedly took her to the house and touched her genitals, the report shows. He allegedly told her he was "going to teach her about the human body and how it works." The report shows while at the house, Keys alleg- edly used a sex toy on the victim and performed a sex act on her, had her touch him and mastur- bated in front of her. He also warned her not to say anything because "it would ruin their family." The girl told inves- tigators she didn't say anything to her family until this year due to the warning and because she feared she wouldn't be believed. However, she did confide in some friends in 2008-09 when they were in eighth grade, and corroborating statements were col- lected from them. Keys, of the 100 block of E. Alba St., Venice, was arrested Friday and charged with sexual battery of a victim under 12 by a custodian and two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation I POLICE BEAT The information for Police Beat is gathered from police, sheriff's office, Florida Highway Patrol, jail and fire records.

She is now operating her business, Dee Ziner Cakes & Pastries, 773 South U.S. 41 Bypass, from larger prem- ises thanks to a second expansion. Two and half years ago, she set up a small bakery in a 100-square- foot room at the rear of a warehouse on U.S. 41 Bypass. She was making cherry pies for local office people at the original location until the manager offered to lease a small front office with two windows and an outside door. It was the incentive she needed to grow the business. Because the spaces were not adjoining, she carried baked items around the building to put in her new store front. It was cramped for space, filled with two refrigerated cases, a display table, a comput- er desk and four people, but sales continued improving. When two units opened up on the bypass, it was an ideal opportunity to overcome space restrictions and combine operations. Moving in and making adjustments, it has been transformed into her bakery. Eight custom- ers can sit and enjoy cakes or old-fashioned cinnamon rolls with coffee or tea, and watch cake preparation and decorating. "At a sampling table four people can taste wedding cakes, now that we have everything together," she said. Her grandmother, a farm cook and baker, had taught her to make homemade pies and it started her love of baking. "My mother-in-law and her sister made wedding cakes, and I became interested in making my own cakes when I moved to Venice," said Baker. At the time she was completing a 30-year career in pathology that began in Benton, Ill., and ended when she retired from a Sarasota pathology business. Feeding her desire to have her own busi- ness, she joined an international society and attended classes at conventions prior to opening. Her fiance, John Fowler, participates in the business, handling numerous tasks includ- ing baking cakes. Two years ago when they opened, he sold their cakes at the Venice Farmers Market on Saturday while she at- tended the Punta Gorda Farmers Market. Popular items include gooey butter cakes in various flavors; cup- cakes; pies; cookies; and those old-fashioned cinnamon rolls, from a Swedish recipe. In season they increase the inventory to a full range of pastries, plus different cream pies SUN PHOTO BY ROGER BUTTON Intern Caila Singh, of Englewood, and Dee Baker, owner of Dee Ziner Cakes & Pastries, 773 South U.S. 41 Bypass, add the finishing touches to a wedding cake. daily. Birthday, anniver- sary and special occa- sion cakes are available. Currently they sell German bread made in Sarasota, but Baker has plans to make her own breads. Nineteen-year- old Caila Singh of Englewood has assisted for almost a year doing an internship certifica- tion course, including taking Cordon Bleu bak- ing and pastry training in Minneapolis. "I have learned how to bake bread, ice and decorate cupcakes, make cookies, brown- ies, pie crusts and sugar flowers," she said.

Publix buys local shopping center By ROGER BUTTON BUSINEWS COLUMNIST The Venice Commons Shopping Center anchored by Publix at Pinebrook Road and East Venice Avenue has been purchased by the Lakeland-based super- market chain. Seller Primerica Developments Inc., owned by Richard Trzcinski, acquired 14.5 acres at $1,038,000 from Venice Service Corporation of Orlando in 1997 and started con- struction of the shopping center in 2000. A few weeks ago Trzcinski's company sold 84,087 square feet of the plaza to Publix for $15,670,000. The sale did not include some independently owned outparcels. "We are always looking for good business op- portunities, and the purchase of this shop- ping center is a positive investment for our company and our stock- holders," said Shannon Patten, Publix media and community relations manager. "While I can't discuss the occupancy rate, I can let you know that we currently own approximately 20 percent of the shopping centers in which we operate stores." In another major investment, four in- dustrial buildings with office space in the front and warehouse space at the rear totaling 56,000 square feet at Sarasota Business Park were ac- quired by an out-of-state buyer for $1,575,000. The bank-owned properties at 700, 710, 720, and 726 Commerce Drive, just east of the Jacaranda 1-75 interchange, were acquired by Homeport LP out of Texas. It plans to upgrade the space with the goal of reaching full occupancy. At the time of the sale there was 59 percent oc- cupancy, including Jimco Maintenance, the shop- ping cart maintenance company; Walgreens Company management offices; and Mahle Inc., an air conditioning and heating service installa- tion company. "Although the prop- erty has relatively high vacancy, it's ideally situated off the interstate and it has great poten- tial," said Fred Kolb, CCIM, senior associate of Land Services of Colliers International Southwest Florida, who brokered the sale.

While planners and neighbors were apprecia- tive of the numerous home improvements has Hill made, the commis- sion couldn't get past the idea of a solid fence along most of the property. "My problem with this is I would hate to see Harbor Drive turn into a walled neighborhood," said Commissioner Jerry Towery. "I have a personal distaste for walled neigh- borhoods ... and it violates part of our comprehensive plan having an open SIGNS FROM PAGE 1 over the next two years. Currently, the com- panies are finalizing their design plans, and construction is expected to begin by the end of 2012, with anticipated completion in July 2014, according to Cindy Clemmons, public information director, Florida Department of Transportation. The most visible aspect of this broad- based Advanced Traffic Management System project will be the erec- tion of advance over- head Dynamic Message Signs to warn drivers will be built up with asphalt in an effort to smooth the transition to South River Road from the curved intersection, and box culverts will be extended for drainage. "It's impossible to eliminate the hill completely because it's on a curvature, but there will be a lot of type plan of development." "I don't believe it meets the hardship criteria," said Commissioner Helen Moore. "There are other ways to do it. I would have liked to see some sort of landscape proposal." Commissioners also said a sectioned fence interspersed with shrub- bery also might have been acceptable, but the owner was sailing in the Pacific Ocean and couldn't be reached. With the compromise proposal defeated, the commission decided to vote down the original proposal 5-1. Commissioner Thomas Murphy was the sole vote in favor of the wall. "I don't really see a problem with a resident wanting to put up a high of impending delays, detours, conjunction and weather conditions. For the system to function, new traffic management fiber net- work systems are cur- rently being installed or upgraded along regional roadways throughout Sarasota County, including U.S. 41, Venice Avenue, the new Honore Avenue and other major city and county roads.

The limits of construc- tion are approximately 1,000 feet in each direc- tion on U.S. 41, and 2,000 feet to the south and about 3,500 to the north on River Road. Fakhri said the pavement being used in the project will be equal to what is used wall," Murphy said. Ajax' path to 'corporate citizenship' In other news, the final piece to the mining operations puzzle in North Venice is coming into place. The planning commis- sion voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend city council approve a preannexation agree- ment with Ajax asphalt company, and annexa- tion into the city. "It's been a long time coming" said Marty Black, project man- ager at Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc., repre- senting the property owner. Black was instru- mental as former city information coordina- tor. It is expected that a similar number in Sarasota County will benefit. When complete, the controllers and infra- structure will link to the Regional Transportation Management Center, which is shared with the Manatee County ATMS. Closed-circuit television cameras will monitor traffic movement along the roadways, allow- ing engineers to make adjustments to signal timing to improve or re- lieve traffic congestion. County staff assigned to this center will extract data generated from the controllers to provide a variety of reports on in a 1.5-mile, four-lane highway. The county, the city of North Port and the West Villages Improvement District entered into an agreement on July 27, 2009, to help finance the project. North Port will pay for the cost of painting the truss in its "city center green" color, and also will manager in moving the cement and other mining operations from near the Intracoastal Waterway out to the outer edge of the city. Ajax company's 69.5-acre property was originally intended for annexation along with Venice Minerals, APAC, and Miami Valley Concrete. Those were consolidated and an- nexed in 2004, but the Ajax property was not included because of a title issue. The property was held under an option at the time and the holder of the option would not give consent to the annexation. That's since been resolved, Black said. Black credited prop- erty owner Mike Horan, with SJT-Venice LLC, daily traffic counts, peak traffic volumes and the condition of controller equipment. Staff at the center will also be able to perform trouble- shooting operations, reducing technician time spent in the field. These field elements will be integrated into the Southwest Florida Traffic SunGuide Center in Fort Myers and the Sarasota and Manatee Satellite TMC in Bradenton. This advanced traffic management system is jointly funded by the counties with the Florida Department of Transportation.

County Commission Chairwoman Christine Robinson was quick to thank the city for their part in the agreement. "This is an excellent and the Venetian Golf & River Club Community Association for coming together to iron out resident complaints over hours of operations, noise and dust. Jerry Jasper, represent- ing the association, supported the annexa- tion. He said Horan first approached the com- munity in 2009, saying he wouldn't apply for annexation unless the property owners reached consensus over their outstanding issues. Council, which sup- ports the petition, consid- ers the annexation next.

Well, of course. Still. For the fifth straight year, Sarasota County residents have listed the Economy/Jobs as the top issue facing the county. This comes from the 2012 Citizens Opinion Survey conducted under the eye of University of South Florida political science professor Susan McManus and now in its 21st year. The results present no real sur- prises. As the economic recovery continues to limp along, people are concerned, but a little less than previous years. According to the survey, 36 percent of respondents listed the economy as the top concern, which is down 3 percent from last year. Three percent? Hardly reason to celebrate. That's within the margin of error (3.5 percent), so the year-to-year differential is negligible. Pretty blah. People are still feeling pinched. Seventy percent said their house- hold finances were being squeezed. Digging into specific causes, employ- ment was cited by 11 percent, home insurance by 9 percent, healthcare costs by 8 percent, personal debt by 8 percent and property taxes by 8 percent. More of a surprise may be the 28 percent who said their household finances were just fine. That's twice last year's response of 14 percent. An indication of the easing of economic concerns for some may be the per- centage of those citing "investment portfolio shrinkage," which was down by 5 percent. McManus noted overall stress- inducing numbers have dropped from 2009 to 2012. Those most concerned about jobs dropped from 15 to 11 percent; property taxes from 13 to 8 percent; utilities from 10 to 2 percent and food costs from 6 to 3 percent. Overall, the single biggest threat? "Loss of jobs" at 42 percent, although that category dropped 10 percent from last year. A majority (56 percent) thought the county's economy was "on the road to recovery." The message? It certainly appears residents still want county officials to do what they can to bolster economic development. Sixty-one percent put job creation at the top of the list for county spending priorities (tied with public safety). While the numbers of those who expressed concerns about traffic and population growth inched up, the figures for those are far away from the boom years of the mid-2000s. The overwhelming sentiment favors an active government that assists job creation. Since early 2010, Sarasota County has awarded incentives totaling $5.8 million to 29 businesses looking to expand or move to the county. Ten nonprofits have been awarded $3.8 million. Combined incentive awards total $10.4 million so far, with $5 million yet to be paid out to the nonprofits and qualifying businesses which now must meet specific contrac- tual criteria before receiving money. Earlier this year, the county commis- sion bolstered the incentive fund with another $6 million, bringing the total to $16.7 million. The projected number of jobs expected as a result of the incentives is 2,400, with a projected average wage of $43,680; to date, some 1,214 jobs have been created, with an annual wage of $31,051. We still have a way to go. The aim is true, though, and the public supports it. The distance "Going the distance" has so many meanings in our culture, but none as vivid as this time of year. There are young adults starting their senior year of high school and college students do- ing the same. At this point they have almost gone the distance, and we here at Gondolier Sun wish these groups, and all the underclassmen, much luck as a new school year begins. It's great to see the hustle and bustle every morning as parents and children make their way to school. It brings a renewed feeling of youth and what is yet to come from this group of students. The often-less-rewarded group is all the teachers and others needed to operate a school. Most years these groups are overshad- owed by the students, the sports and the general activity of a successful school year. A hum- bler group of professionals is not found out in the work world, but their job is critical to our future. Teachers begin playing a vital role in our children's lives as early as age 3 in the world we live in today. From the beginning of a child's education until the child accepts the final degree at what- ever education level they decide to stop, teachers, professors and instructors continue to influence our children as they get ready to leap into the professional world. If we watch closely, we can see the mental growth of a child almost immediately once a pro- fessional educator gets involved. Our children begin to take on adult behavior as far as responsi- bility, organization, structure and learning. The more they learn, the more open to possibilities our children become. As we sit year after year and watch our young adults gradu- ate, I often wonder how many people think to congratulate the 20 or more teachers who guided their children to success. In the crowd you mostly hear families congratulating their child for going the distance. Don't me get me wrong - the accolades are well deserved, and we should be proud of those kids for this outstanding achievement. But somehow, someway, our society has to find a way to congratulate and reward all those teachers who assisted these kids to go the distance. If we can pay a man $10 mil- lion a year to play a game, then we ought to be able to find a way to reward our teachers. A hug from a kid who struggled and made it warms a teacher's soul in May, but it doesn't fix the brakes on her 10-year-old vehicle, does it? Thank a teacher every chance you get; they have earned it. Going the distance has a dif- ferent meaning on the football field. We hope every offensive play our Venice Indians run goes the distance. And football season is already upon us, which brings us to our annual Gondo Bowl. Our fantasy draft is next Wednesday, and we still need to fill some slots. Any local busi- ness that would like to compete in a fun-filled season for char- ity should call Kim Phillips at 941-207-1230 A.S.A.P to get in on the action. Be sure to have picked a charity to represent in the tournament. Bogey's will be hosting the draft and the awards parties this year, and we look forward to a fun time at both events. We equally look forward to the lights firing up on Friday nights and the Venice High School football team showcas- ing its talent. From the entire staff of the Venice Gondolier Sun, we wish our team a strong and healthy football season. Tim Smolarick is publisher of the Gondolier Sun.

Long enough. For the umpteenth time, Challenger baseball people are back at city council so that one way or another they'll get their way to destroy Pinebrook Park. City council has voted that they cannot build on Pinebrook Park. How much longer can this go on? Contractor kudos. My wife and I would like to say "job well done" to the construction company's employees respon- sible for adding a third lane to 1-75 and building several new bridges and improved exit ways. We commuted daily to Sarasota through the construction zones for two years, but no major traffic slowdowns, accidents or confusion. Such a project could have been a nightmare for daily commuters, but the job was done professionally, carefully and safely. Thank you. Too much. Why do leaders in Challenger baseball continue to say they have no place to go in Venice? There are five-plus acres in Plan B, which is three plus acres more than the Miracle League needed in Sarasota to serve 170-plus participants. The larger numbers in Challenger inflated estimates in Venice. Show all. I agree that the candidates for Charter Review Board are very important posi- tions of the election this year, but the Gondo showed the people that they think belong there. If you're going to put an opinion in, why not put the positions of the other persons you are not endorsing? Let's be fair about it. No sympathy. I just want to respond to the 79-year-old woman's sob story about a ticket over at the hospital. Actually, she had three choices. She could have left her name and phone number on the car. She could have gone into the hospital where there are many, many phones. Let 'em Have It She could have called the police and reported it. She could have been paged, so she got what she deserved when you don't follow rules. Silence broken. I prefer absentee voting. I also want to comment on the misinfor- mation in the letters that are published about the bishop and the bishop's comments and stand and the Catholic Church's stand. The damage that people do in their letters - I hope that people are really aware of how silence can be thought of as agreement with some of these opinions that go into the paper. I don't want to be silent. The bishop does not always take a stand. This time he did and it is wonderful. True Catholics and true Christians are behind this stand against Obamacare. High times. About chronic mowing problems in the Venice area, between Baffin and Seminole on Siesta along the creek there: In some areas weeds and stuff are growing 5 and 6 feet high. I know the city was talking about clamping down on individuals, but the question is how can they get individuals to do their jobs? Editor's Note: That area isn't in the city of Venice. If it involves county rights of way, the county expects to have the areas mowed by the end of the month. If it's private property, contact county code enforcement via the call center, 941-861-5000. No change. On this idea of changing the name of the north bridge: When is the last time anybody driving a car had to contact the bridge tender? Answer: They never do. The people who need to talk to the bridge are the boaters. Every guide book, every chart, every nautical map shows the Hatchett Creek Bridge as the Hatchett Creek Bridge. If you arbitrari- ly change the name, people are not going to know which bridge to call. It's important to leave it alone. Go ahead. Challenger organizer Rich Carroll and supporter Steve Boone indicate that they're going to pick up their ball and go home. If they have a better deal elsewhere, they should go take it. Sounds like a bit of ego getting in the way of common sense. Why KMI? Name the north bridge for KMI? Whoever knew what KMI meant for future Venice visitors? Maybe, "Keep Moving Idiot"? Rather, name it Paradise Bridge, or Retired Playground Bridge, or Shark Tooth Capital Bridge. How about a southbound sign, Entering Beautiful Venice, and a northbound sign, Turn Around, You Just Left Something Wonderful? Historic arena. I recently went to see the Venice Train Depot. What a delight that was. This is a real asset to Venice. I would like to get an answer from the historical society in your paper as to why it doesn't consider the Circus Arena a historic site. It's seen 50 years of public usage. Why doesn't it get its due? WAITHI6 FOC THE 6URF (Gobvute SvAj WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 All Faiths Food Bank by the numbers Here are some num- bers for you: 400 the number of volunteers who sort do- nated food at All Faiths Food Bank. 500 the number of volunteers involved in the BackPack Kids Program. 41 the number of volunteers involved in the Growing Healthy Kids Program. 38 the number of volunteers involved in the Cooking Matters Program. At All Faiths Food Bank, we are forever grateful to our volunteers who make the work that we do possible. The passion, generosity and commit- ment that we see from all of our volunteers over the past 23 years surprises and humbles us every day. The growth of a program directly cor- relates to the number of volunteers who are dedicated to seeing its success. When we don't have enough community support, we simply do not have the power to run programs effectively. Volunteers are the backbone of the Cooking Matters, Growing Healthy Kids and BackPack Kids programs. Through these programs we are able to ensure our children have the skills and knowledge to lead healthy lives. Our BackPack Kids Program provides meals to more than 1,500 chil- dren throughout Sarasota and DeSoto counties, in- cluding more than 500 in South County. Currently in the South County area we have served Garden Elementary, Laurel Nokomis, Oak Park South, Taylor Ranch Elementary, Venice Elementary, Venice Middle, Venice High, Atwater Elementary, Englewood Elementary and Lamarque Elementary schools. Volunteers involved in this program provide funding and pack backpacks for their adopted school through their own social groups, churches, temples or gated communities. Through our Cooking Matters Program, vol- unteers have been able to benefit 185 children and families in the South County area. Volunteers help run cooking-based nutrition education classes by acting as nutrition instructors, chef instruc- tors and class assistants. Our nutrition instruc- tors are individuals who have a background in or a passion for nutrition. These volunteers teach participants what it means to be healthy and assist participants with skills, ideas and solutions that enhance their nutrition knowledge. Our chef instructors are individuals who have a cooking background or just a love of food. These volunteers not only assist participants in improving their skills and knowledge of cooking, but also teach participants how to cook healthful food while on a budget. Last, our class assistants help where needed throughout the class series. In everything from helping with setup and cleanup to making sure participants are on task to making grocery bags for partici- pants, class assistants are a fundamental aspect of the Cooking Matters classes. In the South County area, 928 children and families are able to participate in Growing Healthy Kids. Growing Healthy Kids is a great fit for a volunteer with a passion for nutrition and working with children. Volunteers adopt a pre- school and visit once a month (October through April) to teach children about the importance of nutrition, fitness and gardening. Through puppet shows, stories and physical activities our volunteers teach preschool-age children what it means to be healthy and how to grow big and strong. It has been said that volunteers go unpaid not because they are worth- less, but because they are priceless. We always want to make our programs bigger and better in the South County area, and the only way we can make this happen is by having a larger number of people willing to volun- teer their time and talents to these programs. If you are already a volunteer for All Faiths Food Bank, "thank you" does not express how grateful we are to you. If you haven't volunteered for the food bank before, please contact me at 941-379-6333. We are always in need of new volunteers, and would greatly appreciate your sharing your time and talents with us. All Faiths Food Bank's South County event, Cooking with Class Southern Style, an interactive dinner, will be held Thursday, Sept. 27, at Plantation Golf & Country Club. Please join us and help support the food bank with all of our program efforts. To learn more, contact Aundria Castleberry at All Faiths Food Bank, 941-379-6333.

I LETTERS FROM OUR READERS It's about freedom Editor: I have been follow- ing the letters sent to the Gondolier Sun by Ed Martin and Susie Zavodnyik, and the answers to those letters, with great interest. I am always surprised when someone says birth control is a woman's health issue. Pregnancy is a natural function and not a disease, in my mind. I also question Mrs. Zavodnyik's allegations that the bishops are trying to influence the November election with their stance on the HHS mandate. I don't believe the bishops or the church brought this issue up. I believe the current administration brought this issue up and the bishops and the religious community are only try- ing to protect our religious rights guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Protecting the unborn is not new to the Catholic Church, and neither is opposing birth control. Thank God we have bishops and lay people who are willing to stand up for our freedoms. Mr. Martin's idea is that under the HHS mandate religious organizations don't have to provide abortion-inducing drugs; they have to provide their workers with the health benefits that are ordinarily granted to employees. I think Mr. Martin missed the point. The benefits required by the HHS mandate does require that the employer provide both birth control and abortion-inducing drugs. The religious beliefs of the Catholic Church have been to oppose these methods of birth control for 2,000 years and it has been guaranteed it will be able to practice these beliefs by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I want to thank Bishop Frank Dewane and the priests of Epiphany Cathedral for their dedi- cation and willingness to fight for religious free- doms that we are guaran- teed as U.S. citizens. Kenneth Aubrey Venice Hold the line Editor: A big thank-you to our wonderful Venice Fire Department, which was able to respond on Sunday, Aug. 12, to the Wildlife Center of Venice's call for help in a rescue attempt for a juvenile brown pelican. He was hanging about 40 feet up in a slash pine tree at Humphris Park, near the South Jetty. Unfortunately, we were all too late to save the bird, which had a hook in its leg and had become entangled in the fishing line an igno- minious and torturous death, and traumatic to see. One way we can all help animals caught in line: Please do not cut the line. Gently pull the bird or sea turtle to shore, or down a pier to the beach, and get an assist. The number for the Wildlife Center is 941-484-9657. Peg Magee Rescuer Wildlife Center of Venice Legacy tarnished Editor: John Thaxton underestimated the intelligence and in- tegrity of the voters of Sarasota County. The style and tone of his campaign were an insult. His opponent could have easily gone down the same road with much factual ammuni- tion gerrymandering the redistricting, or blowing off the term limits mandated by the voters of the county. Mr. Thaxton was rewarded with 25 percent of the vote and an end to his political career. I had always been a big fan of Mr. Thaxton's outstanding work on environmental issues and his support of one of the best park systems in the state. Unfortunately, his fine work will be forever overshadowed by his campaign. Bill Lehnert Venice A Chain is a Chain American Continental Come to Althea's We put them to Shame e a | KIDS EAT FREE!

Venice High head coach John Peacock isn't afraid to use his most talented players at a variety of different positions, and the depth chart for the skill positions on offense reflects that ideology. Quarterback Kale Youtzy takes over the signal-calling du- ties from Grant Flessner, who graduated last spring. Youtzy, who also starts at safety for the Indians, is an adept runner who can make plays through the air as well. "He's going to be involved heavily in our run game," said Peacock, adding, "He's shown in practice and in our scrim- mages that he can make the throws we're asking him to make." Youtzy's backup is sopho- more Misho Cemovich, who Peacock said is improving on a weekly basis. At tailback, Terry Polk is coming off a promising sophomore campaign that saw him run for 474 yards and four touchdowns. Flessner and University of Miami signee Danny Dillard combined for 1,860 yards and 35 touch- downs on the ground last season, and with those two out of the picture, Polk would Kale Youtzy will take the reins of the Indians offense this season. appear to be next in line for the lion's share of carries. Polk is also a dangerous receiving threat, averaging 22 yards per catch on 14 recep- tions last season. "He's had a great offseason," said Peacock. "He's a very elusive runner." Junior Isaac Whitney, who starts at cornerback, is ex- pected to see playing time behind Polk and in the Indians' lightning package, in which he replaces the fullback. Peacock lauded Whitney for his reliabil- ity, toughness and versatility. Senior fullback Dom Fanti returns as the lead blocker and is expected to anchor the Indians' ground game in much the same fashion as he did in 2011. Junior tailback Terry Polk is primed for a breakout 2012. "He's one of the bright spots on the offense," said Peacock of Fanti, who also starts on the defensive line. "We feel really good about Dom, as far as blocking and doing what we ask of him in the run game. He's really solid at that position." Senior Quaheem Kapinski, who starts alongside Whitney at cornerback, enters the season as the No. 1 receiver. Dustin Ehling, Langston Provitt and Shane Burns are engaged in a competition for the Z spot, which was manned by Youtzy last season. Peacock said, "We'll see as the season goes on who steps up and takes that role on full time." Playing on both sides of the ball can be physically taxing, but Peacock believes his play- ers are up to the task. "I think it's a little tougher at the beginning of the season," he said. "We work these guys pretty hard during the offseason and we've got a good summer program, so SUN PHOTOS BY JUSTIN F. FENNELL they're in good shape when we start. But it takes a couple games to adjust. There's noth- ing like playing a game and getting used to the condition- ing aspect of it. It might take them two or three weeks, but come district time, they'll be ready." The Indians will host Palmetto High in a preseason game Friday, Aug. 24, at Powell- Davis Stadium.

Callahan played for the Vikings in the 1970s and was a running back for Venice High, graduat- ing in 1985. The Valhalla, which began in 2008, serves as a pep rally that cel- ebrates the official open- ing of the Pop Warner season. In addition to the announcement recognizing Callahan for his work, each team was introduced and the cheerleaders performed. Asked what has kept him coming back for two decades, Callahan said, "This is my family. I bleed green. I've been at my job 28 years; I believe in sticking with it SUN PHOTO BY ROB SMITH Rod Callahan has volunteered with the Venice Vikings for 20 years."I bleed green," said Callahan. through thick and thin. I just enjoy trying to get the kids ready for high school, making them better at life in general and trying to keep them off the streets." Callahan said that 1996 (the class that eventually went on to win the 2000 state championship at Venice High) and 2006 are years that stand out in his mind, because those teams won Peace River Conference titles. But championships aren't the only thing Callahan cherishes after serving the Venice community for 20 years. "It's not all about just victories," said Callahan. "It's about memories CALLAHAN 111 Venice outlasts Berkeley Prep in By ROB SMITH SPORTS EDITOR The schedule may have read that Venice High's matchup with three-time defending 3A champion Berkeley Prep was a preseason ON game, but the match had all the ingredients of a playoff game.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL -game thriller r W.0........ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 THRILLER FROM PAGE 10 20-25, 21-25 and 15-13. Venice exploded out of the gates, outworking Berkeley Prep from the get-go and taking the first two games hand- ily. Senior setter Danica Yoder said the team was firing on all cylinders at the start. "The team just did so well the first two games," she said. "Our passes were on, everything was working so well." It appeared as though Venice was going to cruise to victory, but Berkeley Prep showed some of its champion- ship resolve by taking the next two games. Junior Sidney Brown was dominant for the Buccaneers all night, and Venice had few answers for Brown's powerful offensive repertoire. "I'll tell you, she's probably the best player in the state," said Venice head coach Brian Wheatley. "You could tell she was taking over the match." In the fifth and final game, the Buccaneers seemed poised to finish the comeback when they took a 13-11 lead. The Indians had other plans. "Our team knew we wanted it so badly," said senior Holly Mattmuller, who had 17 kills and 18 digs. "We said, 'Let's get this done.'" With the fifth game tied at 13, Mattmuller's serve clipped the top of the net and fell softly to the floor, giving Venice match point. The Buccaneers set up a play for Brown, but this time the Indians defense was ready for her. Brown's spike was blocked and the ball rocketed down to the floor, giving Venice the win. Yoder said of Brown, "She's definitely one of the best hitters I've played against. She's a great all-around player, but we just put up a really good block against her." Wheatley said, "What a way to start the season. We haven't beaten that team in four years. It was going to take a mon- strous effort to knock off a team like that. It's not like we've won anything, but it is a great way to start the season and see where this team is. It's a huge confidence booster. "There's something funny about this team, SUN NEWSPAPERS 11A they just have an eerie sense of confidence about them." Mattmuller agreed. "It builds confidence as a team, and now we know if we can accomplish this we can accomplish anything." Sophomore Gen Beaumire had 14 kills for the Indians and senior Taylor Jais added 18 digs.

At a budget workshop Monday, the county commission approved by a 4-1 margin a one-time, lump-sum bonus of $1,000 for all of the county's 1,023 nonunion, technical and professional employees, to be included in the 2012-13 fiscal year budget. The estimated total cost of the payments will be $1,478,000, including taxes. "People are beginning to give raises and give some type of lump-sum payments," County Administrator Randal Reid said. "The lump sum is probably the cautious way to do that, so we are pro- ceeding this way to give some kind of compensa- tion to our employees." Reid had pushed for the payment twice previously, including at budget work- shops in June. He said then that a one-time, lump- sum payment is possible because of $3.2 million in newly realized funds. County staff had prepared the preliminary budget assuming a 4 percent decrease in property values; however, this year's property tax value de- crease was estimated at only 1.17 percent. Commissioner Joe Barbetta made the motion to direct the payment after a couple of minutes of discussion. Commissioner Jon Thaxton quickly seconded the motion. "I think the great majority of our employees work extremely hard, and I think it's going to be looked at from the outside as not a good time to do this," Barbetta said when explaining his motion. "But we're in a competitive situation, and I think we have to protect our em- ployees. Gas prices have gone up, and cost of living has gone up, so I think it's time for us to do this." "If we continue in this economic recovery, you're already starting to see some pick ups in the private sector, and we run the risk of going four-five years without any sort of compensation increases and having another drain of the county's person- nel resources," Thaxton added. "This at least shows staff that there is some light at the end of the tunnel and there's a reason to stay employed with Sarasota County." Commission Chair Christine Robinson was the only dissenting vote. "My heart wants to vote for this, but my head is telling me something different about this situ- ation we're in, and I want to make sure we're out of it first," she said. "What's driving me in this is the negative number (the de- crease in money brought in due to decreased property values) that we're still in ... and I just can't get past that. The staff works hard, and I see what they're doing every day. People don't realize how hard they work for citizens and the hours they put in. It squeezes me at the heart to vote no on this." In doling out the payments tax-free for employees approximate- ly $703,000 will come out of the county's General Fund and $775,000 from other funds. The bonuses will be paid in mid-October after taxes and go toward this year's salary only. The aver- age salary for employees in the county is approximately $48,700 which translates into a 2 percent bonus payment for the average employee and much larger for lower-level workers. Firefighters, firemed- ics, paramedics, EMS supervisors, lieutenants, training captains and battalion chiefs, whose contracts are negotiated with the International Association of Firefighters, will not be included in the payment cycle. County administration, commis- sioners, directors and the county attorney will not be eligible for the payment. Email: slodwood@sun-herald.com Commission approves Medicaid payment By SCOTT LOCKWOOD STAFF WRITER Sarasota County Commissioners approved a payment plan at a workshop Monday for the state-certified $3.57 mil- lion Medicaid backlog, to start with the fiscal year 2012-13 budget. The ac- tion must be made formal at later budget hearings. Inaccuracies and a lack of reliable information had caused the county to deny $6.4 million in Medicaid claims from the state since 2001. The state had reviewed the claims disputed by the counties, and on July 13 issued drastically lowered open-claims billings. Sarasota County went from owing more than $7 million in March down to $3,570,168, a difference of about $3.4 million. During its budget workshop, the commission discussed two options to pay back the backlog and decided to pay 85 percent of the certified amount, or $3,034,033, and waive the right to protest. This option carries a 15 percent discount that comes out to $536,134. The county will pay $1,011,548 in FY2013, and $505,774 in each of the next four fiscal years. The county declined the option to pay 100 percent of the certified amount of $3,570,168 and protest the billings through an administrative hearing process. County staff had reviewed the billings and continued to dispute $177,250 of the amount. The dispute between the state and counties regarding the claims arose after legislation enacted in March gave the state authority to withhold a county's portion of the half-cent sales tax for past claims, and revenue- sharing for future claims. Counties were told they had to prove billing inaccuracies to receive a refund or a credit. Led by the Florida Association of Counties, 55 counties including Sarasota, Charlotte and DeSoto filed a lawsuit against the Medicaid legislation. "I support (the pay- ment plan), but it's hard to swallow and this really is a horrible process," Commissioner Joe Barbetta said Monday. "The state should be very embar- rassed about going forward with something like this." County Attorney Stephen DeMarsh said there are negotiations going on that may address the Medicaid system and the county "may not get a lot by remaining in the lawsuit as it presently is." Regardless, commission- ers who unanimously approved the 85 percent option said they want to move forward in the suit. "I've got a feeling we're going to see something like this again with some- thing else," Commission Chair Christine Robinson added. "That's why I was concerned with the lawsuit and want to make sure we're able to continue on with that. Seeing how staff only protests a portion of the amount, going with the 85 percent is logical in this circumstance." Because Monday's meet- ing was a workshop, no for- mal action could be taken. Public hearings for the first and second readings of the FY2013 budget before its adoption are scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Robert L. Anderson Administration Center, 4000 South Tamiami Trail in SouthVenice, and 7 p.m. Sept. 24 at the County Administration Center, 1660 Ringling Blvd. in Sarasota. Email: slockwood@sun-herald.com Zucker named to delinquency-prevention group By STEVEN J. SMITH SUN CORRESPONDENT Sarasota County School Board Chair Caroline Zucker has been named as one of 16 appointees to Gov. Rick Scott's Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention State Advisory Group. Zucker, 73, said the group most likely would oversee juvenile justice matters, and make recommendations for programs and funding to help wayward kids. Sarasota resident Michael T. Long, 20, a student at New College of Florida, will join Zucker as the only other local member of the advisory group. Their terms will end at the pleasure of the governor. "I put my name in about a year and a half ago," Zucker said. "I heard the governor was going to appoint me, but actually forgot about it until the word just came through." Zucker is no stranger to serving on boards that help area youth. She said she has been active with juvenilejustice for the last 20 years, and currently serves on the K-12 Public School Facility Funding Task Force, appointed by Speaker Dean Cannon of the Florida House of Representatives. That task force explores issues related to the fairness of capital funding dis- tribution 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 countywide school districts. "I've also served at local juvenile justice meetings and have been chair of their legislative liaison," Zucker said. "And I served as chair for two years on the Circuit 12 board." Zucker added that she applied for a spot on the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention State Advisory Board because she knew of no one else from this area represented on it. "That covers Manatee, Sarasota and DeSoto counties," she said. "There was nobody we could say was even looking out for us or representing us. No one. That's when I decided to apply." Zucker said it is too soon to know when the board will meet or what it will deem as its initial priorities. She said her own priority as a member of the board will be to see to the educational needs of children in Circuit 12. mold olold ina.

The family gathered Sunday afternoon, July 29, for what Pinebrook Care and Rehabilitation resident Andree Segui, 80, thought was her daugh- ter Caroline's birthday party. There was Caroline, of course; Armand, Caroline's 8-year-old son from a previous marriage; her fiance, Stephan Loison; her brother Patrick and his wife, Caya; her mother, Andree, her father, Joseph; other family and friends; and Pinebrook staff and residents. This would be quite a birthday party, indeed. "Why are we going out to the courtyard?" Andree wondered. Then she was told there would be a wed- ding ceremony instead of a birthday party, and she was shocked and overjoyed. "It was a big surprise," she said a few days later, after all was said and done. "I can't cry tears, but I feel them." Caroline and Stephan were both born in France and had spent time in America over the years. However, they returned to France, where they met in Montpellier, Feb. 18, 2009, and will make France their home. The newlyweds honey- mooned in the Florida Keys. Pinebrook Care hosted the 20-minute courtyard wedding and hour-long reception in the main dining room. Casual Weddings by Olson & Olson, of Sarasota, officiated the wedding ceremony. Pinebrook provided a wedding cake and refreshments and deco- rated the dining room. "It was a pleasure to be part of such a happy occasion," said Janet MacDonald, certified activity director at Pinebrook. The road to Venice from French beginnings was a long and joyful journey for Andree and Joseph. Andree was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France, which borders Germany. As a child, PHOTO COURTESY OF PINEBROOK CARE PHOTO COURTESY OF PINEBROOK CARE Andree Segui cannot hide her surprise when she learns her Andree Segui, seated left, and her husband, Joseph, are pictured together in 2011 when son daughter is getting married instead of just celebrating her Patrick, back left, and daughter, Caroline, visited Andree at Pinebrook Care and Rehab. The birthday. family got together again July 29 when Caroline got married at the facility. she moved with her family to Beziers, in southern France. She met Joseph in high school at a dance, she said. They fell in love, married and had three children two boys and a girl. Now, son Patrick lives in Washington, D.C., and is a hairdresser, following in his father's footsteps; another son, Didier, lives in Ireland; and Caroline lives in Nice, France. Patrick participated in a haircut-a-thon at Pinebrook in November 2011. In 1970, the family moved to America, at the prompting of a noteworthy American. Joseph once cut Walt Disney's hair at a salon in Nice when Disney was vacation- ing on the southeast coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea. Disney suggested Joseph move to America if he wanted a better job. So he did. "We wanted a change," Andree said. They lived in Virginia, near Washington, D.C., before moving to Sarasota in 2000. They had visited Sarasota several times over the years and liked it. "My husband retired and wanted to move to Florida," Andree said. "It's warmer than D.C." Andree was begin- ning to have some health problems and was involved in a car crash. She was living in a nursing home in Sarasota, but it closed, she said. She and her husband moved to Venice and Andree PHOTO COURTESY OF PINEBROOK CARE Caroline Segui surprised her mother, Andree Segui, resident of Pinebrook Care and Rehab, with a wedding July 29. moved into Pinebrook Care in Venice about a year ago. Suzanne Awenenti, a very close friend of Andree's, talked about her longtime friendship with her. Awenenti also was born in France and lives in the Sarasota neighborhood where Andree and Joseph used to live. She visits Andree every day, as does Joseph. "We met in Washington, D.C.," Awenenti said. "She (Andree) worked at the front desk of the salon and we talked when I picked up my husband, who was getting his hair done. Because of the language, we would get together for lunch or dinner and became friends." Awenenti and her husband came to Florida and, after her husband's death a few years ago, she main- tains her friendship with Andree. How did Andree feel after her daughter surprised her with the wedding? "I'm very happy she got married here," Andree said. "He (Stephan) is a very nice man."

VENUE 3B 492-6000 Lw - 5 2B SUN NEWSPAPERS FF OMG,'Legally Blonde' is good fun By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Cassie Caballero (Elle Woods), Billy Masuck (Warner) and John Andruzzi (Professor Callahan) are just some of the reasons the Manatee Players' production of "Legally Blonde" is so much fun. Edgar, the dog star playing the role of Elle's chihuahua Bruiser, could not steal this show, cute as he is. That he was found on the streets of Bradenton as a stray mixed breed of indeter- minate origin by theater managing director Rick Kerby is yet another story. Cleaned up and given a haircut, Edgar becomes a quite passable chihua- hua. Edgar lives with new owner Karen Lalosh (Paulette). The high-energy musical centers around a Malibu Barbie type (Elle) who is dumped by her boyfriend (Warner) because he is heading off to Harvard Law School and needs to marry someone more serious and also better con- nected politically if he will be a senator by the time he is age-eligible. Not accepting defeat so easily, Elle manages to get into Harvard Law herself where, with her PHOTO COURTESY OF MANATEE PLAYERS Cassandra Caballero as Elle Woods, Karen Lalosh as Paulette, Jonah Wright as Dewey, Danae DeShazer as Chutney and Noelia Altamirano as the store manager in "Legally Blonde"'through Sept. 2 at Manatee Players in Bradenton. pink clothes and Bruiser, she not only survives but eventually thrives, using her native intelligence to win cases that stump the school's top students. Elle's Delta Nu Greek chorus, her hairdresser Paulette and the "Whipped Into Shape" jump rope and dance number are just some of the reasons to take a drive up to Bradenton. The cast is huge and many of the names will be new even to diehard area theater fans, but this show is fun and should leave most audience members saying "Oh my God" a lot on the way home. My only disappoint- ment was the old-fash- ioned swimsuit version of a Playboy bunny suit designed for Elle. When you have a star who can wear the real thing, there is no excuse to raid Grandma's closet. Tickets are $26 per person for adults and $13 for students. For tickets, call the box office at 941-748-5875. One caveat: "Legally Blonde" is being per- formed in the original home of the Manatee Players, 102 Old Main St. (West 12th Street) north of State Road 60, in Old Bradenton. The new theater is expected to open at 502 W Third Ave. with "Miss Saigon" playing from March 21 through April 14.

WBBT holds auditions By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Heading into its 13th season, the West Coast Black Theatre will hold auditions for only the second time. Founded in December 1999 by Nate Jacobs, the troupe operated more like a small repertory company in its early years, performing four to five musical shows annu- ally. Most were created by Jacobs, who also assem- bled the talented troupe. Some players moved on - sometimes to Broadway or Hollywood as the core group, including Jacobs, cranked out one good show after another on a budget and without a home of their own.

Jacobs said last year was the first year during which the troupe held open auditions. "We found some great talent living within driving distance of our theater," he said, adding that he hoped many of those would be back this year as well as others who would be a "good fit for our company." Present company players include: Apphia Campbell, Jnana Cooper, Jay Dodge II, Naaria Jacobs, Leon S. Pitts II, Henry Porter II, Tsadok Porter, Sheldon Roden and Teresa Stanley. The coming season will include two new musical reviews by Jacobs: "'50s Jukebox Review" (Nov. 16-Dec. 16) and "Soul Crooners 2" (Feb. 22-March 24).

Nokomis Ave., Venice. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance, $7 at the door. The event is sponsored by The WareHouse of Venice Inc., a local not-for- profit youth organization. The Lost-N-Found series is how The WareHouse "finds" local talented young performers, pro- vides them a performance venue and directs the youth steering committee to put it all together. The concert will consist of bands and individuals performing in a variety of forms, from acoustic solos to full-on, plugged- in musical sounds. Linda Banister, ex- ecutive director of The WareHouse, said she is proud of the talented young people in South Sarasota County. "The youth came up with the title of the series and design for the T-shirts," Banister said. "They work with our adult volunteers to raise funds, find talent, plan the lineup and concessions, emcee the event and do the setup and cleanup, all without complaint." The WareHouse has been promoting and planning events and community opportunities for middle school, high school and college age young people since 2003. "The community has supported these young people in many ways," Banister said. "The Venice Community Center is great to work with and has wonderful, state-of- the-art facilities for these talented youth to perform in. The financial support from the community is outstanding and is en- couraging to the youth." The concert is open to people of all ages. For more details, go to www.

Email: ablackwell@venicegondolier.com School bus safety is a top priority By AUDREY BLACKWELL ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR It's a new school year, and motorists and students alike should realize that only one careless moment can become a tragedy. According to the Florida Department of Education and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, an estimated 17,000 students a year are treated for school bus injuries. A survey conducted ear- lier this year showed that more than 21,000 motorists illegally passed stopped school buses on one day in April. By observing school bus safety laws, citizens can help keep children safe while they travel to and from school on the yellow school bus. The Florida Department of Education and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles offer the following reminders to help motor- ists promote safety and prevent injuries. *Always be alert, cau- tious and patient around children, crosswalks, bus stops, schools, school buses and school parking lots. *When approaching a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing and stop arms extended, motorists traveling in both directions are required to stop in nearly every instance. Obey all traffic laws and speed limits, paying extra attention to the lower speed limits in school zones. Do not pass other vehicles in school zones or at crosswalks. Do not change lanes or make U-turns in school zones. *Watch for and obey signals from school crossing guards. Do not text or use a cell phone while driving. Only drive or park in authorized areas to drop off or pick up children at school. Go to www.FloridaSchool BusSafety.gov for more information on school bus stop laws. School bus safety tips are available on the school district's website at www.sarasotacounty schools.net/transportation. Click on "Bus Route" and find bus-related topics, such as "Getting Back to School Safely." Parents and guardians should read the safety tips with their children and discuss why they are important. Tips include practicing the safest ways to get to and from school, waiting with small chil- dren at the bus stop and cautioning children not to run into the street, ever. In the online topics, students are guided on when to arrive at the bus stop, how to wait safely for the bus and to never talk to strangers or get into a stranger's car. Students are cautioned to keep a safe distance from the bus, not walk behind a bus and be quiet and respectful while riding the bus. The Sarasota County School District cont, it'tred to this story. Email: ablackwell@venicegondolier.com GRAPHIC COURTESY OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY This graphic shows that when driving on a multi-lane highway, when no median is present, motorists on both the opposite side and the same side of the highway must stop for a stopped school bus. New people, facilities and programs greet students FROM SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT About 41,985 students were expected to arrive at Sarasota County pub- lic schools Monday. Most greeted new people, facilities or programs. Students at Taylor Ranch Elementary met new principal Bill Bolander. Venice High School opened a new classroom wing as part of its multi-year rebuild. A new administration building and gym are scheduled to open in the fall of 2013. A ground- breaking for a perform- ing arts center being built atVHS in partner- ship the city of Venice is scheduled for October. Major renovations to some of the infrastruc- ture are under way at Laurel Nokomis School. The projects all are designed to upgrade facilities to support 21st-century learning. Many students will use new technology in classrooms or on their own electronic devices. The district has begun incorporating digital textbooks for middle- school math, science and social studies. Some middle-school students began to use a mobile application on their own devices last year. All middle-school students will be able to access a new web-based interactive electronic social studies textbook at school and at home this year, complete with video clips and access to up-to-the-minute information, such as presidential election campaign activities. Gulf Coast Community Foundation is funding middle- and high-school initiatives tied to an increased national em- phasis on skills related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Each district middle school is open- ing the first phase of TechActive science and math Classrooms of Tomorrow that provide touch-screen comput- ers, digital microscopes and cameras and other powerful technologies to help students learn through investigation and discovery. The COT environment is structured but allows students to move around, interact and engage in real-world activities to immerse themselves in thinking about science and math. Teams of stu- dents learn how to learn by thinking deeply and solving problems, gather- ing information and data, analyzing and reaching their own conclusions and producing products. Other important components of the STEM initiative funded by GCCF include graphing calculators for middle- and high-school class- rooms and professional development opportuni- ties that allow teachers to work collaboratively to develop lessons that enhance student learn- ing in math and science. In each district high school, Technology Enhanced Active Learning labs are being installed to emphasize collaboration and instant access to information and educational resources. As always, the district welcomes volunteers and business partners. More than 10,000 students, parents, community members and business leaders participate in the district's PALS Partners in Education volunteer program. Volunteers, who act as reading tutors and mentors to students and help schools in many other ways provide about 264,000 hours of service each year, with an estimated value of $5.7 million. Anyone inter- ested in learning more about volunteering in the Sarasota County Schools can call the PALS office at 941-927-9000, ext. 31500. In January, SCSD was rated fourth high- est among Florida's 67 districts in student achievement measured by FCAT test results. Sarasota County is one of 17 "A" school districts in the state. Ninety-five percent of the district's traditional and charter elementary and middle schools (37 of 38 schools) received A or B grades for the 2011-12 school year. High school grades will be announced later this year.

EAST Pass A A bid of two hearts now would be a reverse, showing extra strength. Since you have a minimum opener, all you can do for the moment is raise to two spades and see how partner reacts. Q 2 Both vulnerable, as South, you hold: S8 AJ863 0 K K74QJ 743 As dealer, what action do you take? A Pass! You have no good rebid over partner's expected one-spade response. To bid two-clubs with such a shabby suit asks for trouble and to bid one no trump with a weak singleton, even though partner has responded in the suit, misdescribes your holding. Q 3 As South, vulnerable, you hold: 4J83 QA98620 94,4J 76 The bidding has proceeded: NORTH EAST SOUTH 10 Pass 1 14 Pass ? What action do you take?

EAST Pass A With 14 high-card points, a singleton and no wasted values, your hand is worth more like 18 points than its high-card points suggest. Jump raise to three spades. Q 5 Both vulnerable, as South, you hold: 4Q762 ?AQ740 64,AKJ6 The bidding has proceeded: SOUTH WEST NORTH 14 Pass 16 What do you bid now?

EAST Pass A A jump to three spades would show a singleton and a strong hand - theoretically, to show a void you need to jump to four spades. However, that gets you to the five- level. You have to tell a little white lie and treat your void as a singleton - jump to three spades. (T7nnah Hirsch welcomes readers' responses to gorenbridge@aol.com.)

Theater arts classes are popping up on the Cultural Coast for every level and interest. Class brochures have been arriving daily from the likes of PLATO, the not-for-profit performing arts arm of the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre, Florida Studio Theatre, The Players of Sarasota and Venice Theatre, to cite a few. PLATO offers classes in auditioning from such luminaries as for- mer Broadway star Roberta Turoff. FST and The Players will teach you everything from playwriting to improve no matter what your age or experience level. Venice Theatre, the nation's third largest community theater, is the only one in the Southeast U.S. to offer a professional level theater tech course. Its education and outreach department not only offers a variety of theater classes for pre-K students to adults, but this year is bringing international circus per- formers Caio Stolai and Milena Costa do Nascimento back to teach clowning, puppetry and dance. Caio stunned attendees to the 2010 International Community Theatre Festival with his one-man show featuring his handmade puppets and was brought back the next year for three sold-out performances of his show about the circus career of an old man. Milena is an artist on the silks in the circus world and also a dancer. Both will teach courses in circus arts this fall.

Scattered delves into the majesty and savagery of water, a fundamental force in our lives as dancers plunge into an ocean, tumble down a waterfall, and slide on an avalanche to a frozen landscape. In Scattered Motionhouse is creating a startling interaction between film and live performance, where dancers glide in the air or rapidly move around the space using aerial silks and harnesses.

August 22-28, 2012 GO Naples Botanical Garden brings Asia to SW Florida BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Agarden-lover's alternative to a lengthy flight to Southeast Asia, South America or North Africa is a short road trip to the Naples Botanical Garden. Located just a short drive from downtown Naples, the garden was expanded about four years ago to include gardens similar to ones found in Thailand, Brazil, India, Bali, Java and throughout the Caribbean. My first visit to the garden was shortly after my move to Florida and its birth in 1993. Since a major expansion about four years ago, the Gar- dens' footprint is more than 10 times larger and it is well on its way to becoming the world-class botanical garden envisioned by its eight founders, all residents of Naples. In its first incarnation, it was a place of beauty which I enjoyed every bit as much as a visit to Ma- rie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Today's expanded layout features a children's garden; butterfly house; Brazilian Garden; water garden; Asian Garden that includes a Balinese Shrine, Thai Pavilion, Javanese ruin and Asia pergola; Caribbean Garden; river of grass as a representa- tion of the Everglades; wetlands preserve; uplands preserve; Florida Garden; and an enabling garden which features ways to adapt a garden for those with physical challenges. According to the web site, there are 2.5 miles of walking trails and 90 acres of restored native preserve lands. Summer is a good time to visit because it is less crowded but get there early. Naples is warm- er and more humid than most areas covered by Sun newspapers. I was there first thing in the morning on a day made gray by the proximity of Tropical Storm Debby which was making its way up the Gulf of Mexico. I was able to see about 60 percent of the site before the skies opened. I need to return to see the Florida Garden, Sol- stice Landing and the Uplands Preserve. I also need to return to spend more time in the Asian Garden which I walked through at breakneck speed in order to see it before the sky opened. Fortunately I had spent the night at the Inn of Fifth in downtown Naples so I had a safe haven in which to wait out the storm before driving back to Venice after visiting the garden. Returning to the inn also is on my list for sometime this fall when the weather cools down a bit and the winter tour- ists have yet to arrive. Because the garden is a work in progress, I envision many more trips as buildings, rainwater collection tanks and more garden areas sprout on the site. Another reason for multiple visits is the seasonal changes of flower- and fruit-bearing plants. On this visit, I spied several pineapples, a couple of watermelons and several banana bunches which should ripen over the next few weeks. Because of the overall plan of the garden, it is a great destination for an hour's visit or a half-day Sailing from Barcelona to Miami. Visiting Ponta Delada Azores & St. Thomas.

ELte o. August 22-28, 2012 The Caladium Capital of the World BY NORMA RIZER SUN CORRESPONDENT T he sun blazes, scorching all it touches. The humidity produces excess drips. There is no doubt it's summer in Florida. What decent Florida town plans a festival in August to attract thousands of visitors? Better still, what would make people attend an outdoor festival during this time of year? The answer to the first question is Lake Placid. To the second, a plant. Both of these answers might seem a bit odd until you look a little closer, or better still, drive a bit to the center of the state for a unique festival. A little off the beaten track, Lake Placid has celebrated caladiums every August for the past 21 years. Visitors might be a little fuzzy about what a caladium is when they arrive in town, but it's guaranteed by the time they leave, they will be able to spot caladiums wherever they see them. For those who don't know, a caladium is a showy plant with large, colorful leaves. They are used as landscape accents throughout the world. The reason Lake Placid celebrates caladiums is it has been known for many years as "The Caladium Capital of the World." Up to 95 percent of all caladiums in nurseries and garden centers originate in Lake Placid. This year, the festival begins on Friday and continues Saturday and Sunday Thousands of people and thousands of caladium plants and bulbs come together for the festival that features art, entertainment, food, clowns, history and even classic and muscle cars. This festival has all the makings of a great event and visitors enjoy every bit of it. Of course, one of the first things visitors want to do is see caladiums; the best way to do this is to take a bus tour. It's best to pre-register to be assured a seat, but sometimes seats are still open during the festival. Stop by the Lake Placid Women's Club, downtown on North Main Avenue to catch a bus. Tour buses are staffed by local growers. The 90-minute trip provides a glimpse of expansive caladium fields, colorfully filled with red, pink, green and white plants. The town and its residents go all out to showcase the plants and bus tours will also let visitors see how the plants are used in residential and commercial landscaping. The growers are happy to give any information, from growing instructions to pest control. Those hungry for more information about caladiums can view a free 14-minute video about the industry at the Greater Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce, located on North Oak Avenue. The video is shown in the Mural Room, named for the original art for the 44 larger-than-life murals on town buildings. Of course, one of those murals features caladiums. The main part of the Caladium Festival is held in the downtown area in Stuart Park. It's there you'll find a myriad of caladium plants in all their beauty. Leaves come in two varieties fancy leaves (heart shaped) and lance leaves (more pointed). Visitors will discover colors ranging from brilliant to soft in reds, pinks and whites, with many combinations of colors. Bulbs are also available and might be easier to transport, if distance or time is a factor. Sales of plants or bulbs come with full instructions. Stuart Park is also the setting for Caladium Festival entertainment. And lots of entertainment will be showcased. Three full days of talented singers, dancers, musicians and local cheerlead- ers is on tap. All along the streets adjacent to the park, vendors offer arts and crafts -- many featuring caladiums in theme. Jewelry, ceramics, yard art...from the exotic to the mundane, all things caladium can be found here. Don't miss the information booth where maps of the festival posters and T-shirts featuring the annual artwork can be found. Each year, local artists enter caladium art to vie for the chance to be chosen as the "official" Caladium Festival artwork for the upcoming year. Entered artwork can be found at the Caladium Arts and Crafts Cooperative, a local retail store featuring all types of arts and crafts from area artists. Floral arrangements featuring the ever- present plant can also be found here. In addition to being an arts and crafts mecca, the Caladium Arts and Crafts Cooperative offers an air condi- tioned sanctuary for heat-weary festival fans. Just down the street from the Caladium Co-op is DeVane Park. On Saturday, the park will be filled with classic cars and motorcycles for the area's largest car show, billed as one of the premier summertime car shows in the southeast. On Sunday, the park will host a new event; a recreational show will feature boats, personal watercraft and paintball, scuba and paddle board- ing equipment. There is no doubt this is an event supported by the entire town. Service clubs, fraternal organizations and churches bring taste treats to the festival. There are enough different foods to provide a different nibble for every hour of the festival.

ErI C August 22-28, 2012 The Historic Venice Train Depot BY DEBBIE FLESSNER SUN CORRESPONDENT When the original train stop was built in Venice at the end of Tampa Avenue in 1911, the town was in its fledgling stages. That year, Chicago socialite Bertha Honore Palmer had implored the Seaboard Air Line Railway to extend its tracks to Venice because she had bought thousands of acres on Little Sarasota Bay in order to establish a winter home there. The longer train track would enable her to more easily receive goods, services and visitors. Thanks to Palmer, by 1925 the town of Venice was poised for growth, and construction began on the new Venice Train Depot. "The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, BLE, took over," said Sue Chapman, president of the Venice Area Historical Society. "They were here to develop the city and sell property to buyers. The new depot was a reception center for prospective buyers." The new structure, designed by the New York City architectural firm of Walker and Gillette, took about two years to build. Its Mediterranean Re- vival design was created by renowned architect John Nolen, who also planned the city of Venice in the same style. For decades it stood as a port of entry for visitors, cadets of the Kentucky Military Institute, employees of the Army Airbase and then for the Ringling Circus workers and their families. But by the late 1900s, the depot had fallen into disrepair and needed someone to help save it. "It was derelict, had graffiti and holes in the roof, and had been vandalized," Chapman said. "Rollins Coakley, a member of the historical society, knew it was historic and had to be saved." Though the planning of the restoration took a couple of years, the renovations themselves took only one year and were completed in 2003. Wherever possible, the original architec- tural features were preserved, and those that were not in good enough shape to save were replicated right down to the original paint colors. "When this depot was built in 1927, it cost $24,000 ($299,000 in today's money)," Chapman said. "It cost $2.3 million to restore in 2003'" As part of the restoration, another 40 feet were added on the southern part of the building to accommodate a SCAT bus system hub. The Rollins W. Coakley Railroad Park was cre- ated with benches and tables for picnics and a Gunther Gebel-Williams statue was set at the entrance to the park. In addition, a red caboose was donated by CSX transportation, renovated and placed beside the building to serve as the Venice Area Historical Society's office, since they are the "Keepers of the Depot" The Keepers conduct many tours of the depot - this summer, the hours are Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., but during winter, the tours also run from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Historic Venice Train Depot is located at 303 E. Venice Ave., next to where the Venetian Waterway Park and the Legacy Trail meet. To find about more about the depot, contact the Venice Area Historical Society at 941-412-0151.

Let's Go! :August 22-28, 2012 E/N/C/V Let's Go! Little band promises loads of fun BY CHRIS KOURAPIS SUN CORRESPONDENT Englewood's Annual Pioneer Days, always a fantastic tribute to the founders and families that made Englewood great, just gets better every year. This year's theme, "Hats Off to Englewood," honors the early pioneers, and the two-week festival also features an array of new programs and unique floats. One new event, a patriotic singalong, led by guitarist/banjo player Linda Lou Lewis and the Little Band of Writers, will kick off the celebration on Tuesday at the historic Green Street Church located in Olde Englewood Village. The public is invited to join seven writers and musicians on an imaginary train ride as they sing their way across America. An original tune written by Lewis entitled "We are the Band" will introduce the group to the audience. That will be followed by the energetic Lewis and the band singing the praises of their "coastal paradise" Englewood. For the remainder of the program the audience will be encouraged to join in the fun. Attendees will be treated to arrangements of traditional and original melodies, accompanied by both conven- tional and unconventional instruments. Joann Phillips, famous for adding "hutspah" is proud of her 68-cent washboard. "It ain't no store- bought instrument," she exclaimed. Her husband, Don, fashioned the board with bells, whistles and squeaks, but Joann often adds a kazoo, puppets, a tambourine or a "jug" to the mix. Marion Sheridan specializes in bongo drums and novelty songs. Spoon player and percussion- ist Cheryl Baker composed "The Whip-Poor-Will," a song that describes her childhood memories of summer in New Hampshire. Composer Gaile 0 Percussionist and spoon player Cheryl Baker provides a lively beat to the music. SUN PHOTOS BY CHRIS KOURAPIS Little Band members practice patriotic tunes for their Pioneer Days singalong in Englewood. Marion Sheridan, bongos; Cheryl Baker, spoons; Joann Phillips, washboard; Murray Davis, clarinet; Linda Lou Lewis, banjo; and Leroy Sexton, guitar. Director and song writer Linda Lou Lewis, on guitar, sings her original composition 'WNe are the Band,"' accompanied by Gaile Harpan on piano. Harpan, a writer of children's stories, who retired after a long teaching career, plays the piano for the group. Guitarist Leroy Sexton took up playing the guitar and composing music only a few years ago. An original ballad describing his native Indiana has a country/gospel vibe. Musician and former Peace Corps volunteer Murray Davis provides professional clarinet and harmonica accompaniment for all 24 tunes. Organized 5 years ago, the Little Band of Writ- ers, a sub group of Englewood's popular Suncoast Writers Guild, performs for friends at the Guild, local nursing homes, local restaurant events and productions of the Lemon Bay Historical Society. Director Lewis is quick to point out, "Our only goal is fun. Our show on Aug. 28 will feature songs about places in this great country. We'll celebrate where we came from and why we love it here in Englewood. There will be printed song sheets (words only) so everyone can sing along, and people who want to 'sit in' with an instrument will be welcome to join us. Real, live, homemade music is alive and well in Englewood." The patriotic show is offered free to the public, but donations will be accepted. Proceeds benefit the Lemon Bay Historical Society and The Suncoast Writers Guild. The Pioneer Days fun begins at 7 p.m. at the Green Street Church, 416W. Green St., Englewood.

Tamiami Trail North Port Full Bar Thursday Karoake ............... 4- ~ - EI IC August 22-28, 2012 GO Chef John Rathgeber Prime Time Steak & Spirits BY DEBBIE FLESSNER SUN CORRESPONDENT When Prime Time Steak & Spirits' owner Mike Brady bought his restaurant 13 years ago, he had discovered some- thing almost as important as how to deliver great food-that the restaurant business is based on something deeper. "This business isn't all about the food," Brady said. "It's about the personal relationships you develop." That attitude from the owner is why Prime Time has become one of the most popular restaurants in Englewood. Out on Placida Road, about five miles from Boca Grande, the restaurant has established itself as not just a tourist destination but a place where year-round residents love to congregate. 'We pride ourselves on being a neighbor- hood restaurant, and we depend on the locals," Brady said. "It's really like a private-club type of atmosphere here." Brady's desire to provide the best possible product to his Englewood neighbors is why when he was looking for a new chef last month. He chose John Rathgeber, a chef formerly from the Boca Bay Pass Club and Marina Jack's in Sarasota. "Our former chef passed away last year and he had been here for eight years," Brady said. "By hiring John, we're heading back to greatness." Chef John says that his being hired at Prime Time was a great fit, as well as a matter of fortu- itous circumstances. "It was all about the timing," he said. "The restaurant I was working at closed down, and he (Brady) was looking for someone." What Chef John brings to the table is not only a wealth of experience, but also a genuine pas- sion for the job. He said that he had always loved to cook, and even as a child in NewYork City, he wanted to be in the kitchen helping his mother. However, he made a few stops along the way on the path to being a chef. "Growing up in the '80s, it wasn't cool to be a man and be a chef," he said. "But at the end of the day, I went to culinary school after the army and went back to the kitchen." He says that his lifelong love of food and cook- ing is why he enjoys being a chef. "You take a raw ingredient and put out a product that makes people happy," he said. "I love putting a smile on someone's face." Brady said that when they can, he and Chef John like to get out on the dining room floor and talk with the diners. That gives them the oppor- tunity to see just how much people are enjoying the food.

"It definitely does not have to be," say Allen and Patty Register, owners of Gatorama. It is the time of year that chirping, grunting and snapping baby alligators emerge from their shells to meet the world. Gatorama is marking this occasion by hosting an "Alligator Hatching Festival" through Monday at their animal park at 6180 U.S. Highway 27, Palmdale. "This is a great opportunity for parents to teach their children about one of nature's fascinating life cycles," says Allen Register. "For the next two weeks we will welcome over 3,000 alligators into the world at Gatorama. Guests will actually be able to see these little baby alligators wiggle out of the eggs." Visitors to Gatorama will also be able to learn about the history of the American alligator and how the populations have been protected through one of the most successful, sustainable-use man- agement programs ever implemented. American alligators have been off the endangered species list since 1987 and populations are still grow- ing. Alligator farming is an important part of the program. There will be four programs Monday through Sunday. Regular admission is $14.95. Children less than five feet tall are admitted for $6.95. Reg- ular admission includes the educational hatching program. For guests that want a hands-on experi- ence, a "Hatch and Hold" package is available. This package allows the guest to actually hold an egg and let the baby alligator hatch in their hands. The cost for this experience is $10.00. We offer 15 prepaid reservations per program.Then depending on how many eggs are hatching that particular day we will offer another 20-30 eggs per program on a first come first served basis. "This isn't a drive-through instant experience."We are totally dependent on Mother Nature," says Allen. Birthing babies takes time. If everyone is patient we usually can accommodate everyone by the end of the day.This year we will be offering new activities for kids to build their own gator tooth necklace or catch their own baby gators at the Baby Gator Round Up "pond"- bring your cameras! Outside food and add on experiences require cash. The gift shop still accepts credit cards or cash.

It is still a popular tourist attraction as well as an operating alligator farm. One of Gatorama's main attractions for visitors and professional photographers is the natural Florida scenery in which these prehistoric beasts sunbathe in the warm subtropical climate. Visitors will also find other animals along the covered 1,000 foot walkway and wooden bridge: panthers, bobcats, raccoons, peacocks, ducks and geese all call Gatorama home, as do six species of crocodiles including the American crocodile. Gatorama is the largest captive breeder in North America of the Acutus crocodile. For more information and directions, call 863-675-0623 or visit www.Gatorama.com. Beachfront homestead tour featured for Pioneer Days BY CHRIS KOURAPIS SUN CORRESPONDENT On Aug. 26 the public is invited to tour The Hermitage, the oldest house on N. Manasota Key. Built in 1907 by Swedish immigrant Carl G. Johanson, the beachfront prop- erty is among the oldest structures in Sarasota County and is listed in the national, state and county registers of historic places. The Open House is part of Englewood's 2012 Pioneer Days celebration. Visitors will learn how this beautifully renovated artist retreat evolved over the past 100 years. According to their website, www.hermitageartistreatreat.org., the property, in addition to being a home, also served as an inn, restaurant, motel and nudist colony. Nobody really knows exactly how the Hermitage got its name, although when it was operated as a business, a brochure described it as "The Sea Island Sanctuary at the 'ole' Hermitage." In 1947, Otto Thurston Alexander bought the Hermitage along with adjoining property and structures. By the 1980s a number of concerned Engle- wood-area residents became worried when they heard of Sarasota County's plans to destroy the decaying buildings and add a parking lot for the public beach. With considerable effort, the group convinced the county that the beach property was worth saving. When the Sarasota County Arts Council led by Patricia Caswell eventually took over, it was decided to transform the build- ings to their original "old Florida rustic elegance." The original homestead and four adjoining historic buildings have been lovingly restored into living and studio space known today as the Hermitage Artist Retreat. The council created a wide-ranging comprehensive community cultural Broward County art teacher Donna Haynes, right, a winner of the Hermitage Artist Retreat's artists-in-residency program, welcomed visitors Warren and Ann Langer during the Open Studio event on Aug. 16. SUN PHOTOS BY CHRIS KOURAPIS Artists in residence may view mother nature's dramatic sunsets from the Hermitage Retreat's upper windows. plan that would serve individual artists. Accord- ing to Executive Director Bruce E. Rodgers, "The Hermitage started its first State Teachers' Artist Residency program in 2011. STAR is a gift of time and space to Florida arts educators who want to spend time in our beautiful setting just being artists." In July, five artists were selected to enjoy a four-week residency where they could write, paint, sculpt or compose. On Aug. 10 the public was invited to view the creations of two artists in their studios, then move on to three beach readings. Due to rain, however, the readings took place indoors. During the program Rodgers explained that in addition to the STAR program, the Hermitage brings accomplished painters, sculptors, writers, playwrights, poets and com- posers from all over the world for extended stays at its 8.5-acre campus. Each artist is asked to contribute two services to the community during that time. In 2003, Scottish artist-in- residence Malcolm Robertson designed a prominent shell sculpture for the Englewood Beach roundabout. Additional examples of artists' works may be viewed during the open house and docent tours from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.The Hermitage The Hermitage Artist Retreat on Manasota Key will welcome visitors on Sunday as part of Englewood's Pioneer Days celebration. Artist Retreat is located at 6660 Manasota Key Road, Englewood. For more information, call 941-475-2098. Another historic site, Lois Bartlett Tracy's Artists Acres located at 580 Artists Ave. in Englewood will also be open for visitors from 1p.m to 5 p.m. Go online at www.ArtistsAcres.com for more information.

Located south of downtown Punta Gorda, 0- Sea-D Aquatic Adventures offers kayak trips that can feature alligators, manatees and an abun- dance of birds. Their Manatee Adventure Tour is very popular during the cool weather months, when manatees gather in pockets of warm water. During the tour, manatees will glide right under the kayak because of their curious nature. "While we never guarantee that we'll see wildlife on any of our tours, we wouldn't advertise it as a manatee tour if we didn't have a high success rate," said owner Vince Molnar. 'They're a little more difficult to find in the summer, just because they don't congregate as much." Molnar's operation includes everything related to kayaks, including sales, rentals and lessons. 0- Sea-D also offers fishing and diving possibilities using kayaks. "We're one of the largest Emotion sunnuS oeZB Golf Memberships 2012 Memberships starting @$100/mo.

It's to be the number one ecotourism facility in the state," said Molnar. "My goal as the owner of this business is to instill a sense of environmental awareness and protection, a sense of duty in my customers. Ultimately it's our ecotourism aspect of the business that drives our retail." Molnar's credentials include being a marine fisheries biologist for Florida Wildlife, certi- fied scuba diver and environmental writer for a regional magazine. He is considered an expert in the environmental world. He opened his tour and lesson business just out of college in May of 2010, while the retail piece opened in March of 2011. For newcomers to the sport of kayaking, O-Sea-D's staff reviews every aspect of the learning experience. 'There are physical restrictions, as there is with any sport, but we always make sure those are known up front and then recommend, based on people's age and their physical abilities, what we think that they would enjoy or not enjoy," Mol- nar said. He also explained why he doesn't teach couples on two seat kayaks at the start. "If you're not happily married, then let's go for the tandem kayak. If you're happily married and you want to stay that way, we might want to refrain from that for awhile and do two singles. If you put people in situations that they're not used to being in, they just kind of get a little nervous and edgy. That's what I've found in the tandem kayaks, in that it's better to get rid of that feeling first in a single, on your own." Punta Gorda, Port Charlote, North Port, Englewood & Venice qSUN PHOTO BY JON BAUMANN Molnar believes it's their ecotourism aspect of the busi- h m ness that drives their retail success. Prices for most of their tours are in the $50 to $60 range and last approximately 3 or 4 hours. "In my opinion, we are the best at what we do," Molnar explained. "We teach people about the environment in a fun way." O-Sea-D Aquatic Adventures, located at 3853 Acline Road, Punta Gorda, has tours for every- one, young and old, that are fun, educational and entertaining.

An 18-hole, par-60 executive course, Blue Heron Pines is semi-private, offering both memberships and pay-as-you-go daily fees. Both walkers and carts are permitted at all times of the day. "It's an exciting, fun track to play, yet it's easy to walk it," said Bill Itschner, manager of the course and surrounding community. An abundance of water throughout the course makes it both challenging and beautiful. Maintaining the course's rustic, natural beauty is something Itschner has worked hard to achieve. Like other area courses, Blue Heron Pines was hit hard by Hurricane Charley in 2004. But unlike other courses that had all the damaged trees removed, Itschner insisted on keeping the bent and downed trees that were still living. The result is a course with trees that are natural wonders in their own right. Some are so bent you can't help but know which way the hurricane blew. Others stretch across the ground, determined trees with winding trunks exploding into robust foliage. Purple jacarandas surround creeks and ravines, while several stone formations add to the eclectic mix. Blue Heron Pines sits in the midst of a community by the same name. The original, nine-hole course was called Emu Lakes, and the community Casa del Mar. While many courses have alligators on their grounds, Emu Lakes actually had emus. Thirteen years ago, American Land Lease bought the community and golf course, renamed it, and added the front nine holes. Three greens have been rebuilt since Hurricane Charley hit, and two more will be rebuilt this year. "It's an ongoing process that will continue until all the greens have been rebuilt," said Itschner. The clubhouse was also rebuilt and expanded to 9,000 square feet, with a commercial kitchen, deck, game rooms and meeting rooms added around the original center clubhouse. In addition to the golf course, the community includes shuffleboard, horse shoes and an aqua driving range that utilizes floater golf balls. Lessons are also available. Blue Heron Pines golf course is located at 29225 S. Jones Loop Road in Punta Gorda. For information or tee times call 941-637-6191. Blue Heron Pines: A Natural Wonder Let's Go!

DIAMONDS ARE NOT FOREVER Both vulnerable. South deals. WEST AK32 ) K6 o 985 , AKQ72 The bidding: SOUTH WEST 16 2* 34 Pass Pass Pass EAST 464 , 97542 o 742 * 1063 NORTH 20 4U EAST Pass Pass Opening lead: King of 46 Communications between dummy and the closed hand are the lifeblood of many contracts. Defeating these hands depends on the ability of the defenders to cut the artery. With a spade suit that could play opposite a singleton and the queen in partner's suit that should be upgraded in value, South's hand was worth a jump rebid. North clearly had enough to proceed to the major-suit game. West started with the king and ace of clubs, East following with the three and ten to show an odd number of cards in the suit. Obviously, East was broke, so West realized that no help could be expected from that quarter. Therefore, the kings in both major suits would have to score if the contract was to be defeated. The king of trumps was a sure defensive trick. The king of hearts was another matter the diamond suit would surely furnish declarer with enough discards to take care of any losers. The only hope for the defense lay in cutting declarer's link to the diamonds before the suit could be put to use. At trick three West shifted to a dia- mond. Declarer won with the king and led a trump to the knave. West won and persisted with a diamond, and declarer was forced to bow the knee. Since an attempt to get two heart discards on dummy's diamonds while there was still a trump out- standing was clearly against the odds, declarer won in dummy, cashed the ten of spades and tried the heart finesse by leading the queen down one!

DONOHUE: Every summer, we rent a cottage for two weeks. This summer is the first time I have seen three black spots on my 17-year-old son's back- moles, I think. My imagi- nation took off. Could these be melanomas? You hear so much about them these days. Should I take him to a dermatologist right away? I can't find any understandable information that tells how to distinguish moles from melanoma. -W.B. ANSWER: The official name for moles is nevii." If you brought a comput- er to your cottage, you'll find more information than you want by search- ing nevii." The common mole, also called an acquired mole (one not present at birth), is a nest of cells containing the black pigment melanin. Such moles arise during child- hood and the young-adult years. Around age 30, new mole formation tapers off, and older moles begin to regress. Common moles, which are what I think your son has, do not become melanomas. They measure less than 6 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a pen- cil's eraser. They have a well-demarcated border. They're symmetrical, meaning by folding them over in your mind, you can fit each half of the mole over the other half. Moles have a uniform brown or black color. Melanomas, on the other hand, have a variety of colors reds, tans, blues and grays interspersed on their dark surface. A melanoma evolves it changes appearances somewhat, and almost always enlarges. A born-with mole is one that's been present from birth. It has a small potential for becoming a melanoma. Regardless of how small the chance is, this kind of mole needs to be observed frequently by both a child's parents and the child's doctor. A third mole variety is an atypical mole, also called a dysplastic mole. It varies in size from 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) to 12 millimeters (0.5 inches) in diameter. Its colors are a mix of browns, pinks and tans. It erupts mostly on the back and has an irregular shape and an ill-defined border, something that raises suspicion for a melanoma. If the doctor oon is not sure of its nature, a biopsy is done. If all these colors, shapes and measure- ments are too much, let your family doctor or a dermatologist make the call. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My PSA (prostate specific antigen) result was high, so my family doctor made an appointment for me at a urologist's office. I'm nervous about the biopsy. How is it done? Does it hurt? How long does it take to recover? B.K. ANSWER: A prostate bi- opsy isn't a picnic, but it's not the worst thing that has happened to you. An ultrasound device locates the prostate's suspicious areas. Then the doctor inserts, through the rec- tum, an instrument with the inauspicious name "gun." The doctor triggers the device and a series of very fine needles obtain specimens for micro- scopic exam. The whole procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Most men are active the next day. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My doctor suggested I snack on carrots for weight loss. He tells all his patients that carrot munching curbs hunger. I took him up on this, but I might have gone a trifle overboard. My skin has turned yellow. My husband finds this funny. I don't. Does it do any damage? Will it go away? - M.O. ANSWER: That skin col- or is called "carotenemia." It's not going to hurt you. It will go away if you cut back on carrot snacks. You'll get rid of it faster if you stop them altogether for a time. You and your husband might notice it, but many do not. I'll bet few other people have remarked about it to you. Beta carotene is the substance in carrots that causes the color change. The body transforms it into vitamin A. You don't develop any consequenc- es from the color change. You are not getting too much vitamin A. The body stops the conver- sion if you're getting an overload of the vitamin.

Dear Heloise: After read- ing in your column about people swallowing bristles off wire brushes used to clean grill grates, I would like to share my solution. I keep all used aluminum foil. If it has any food on it, I wipe it off, wad it up into a ball, and it cleans the grill grate like magic. I keep an empty flowerpot by my grill with balls of foil for cleaning. Shirley B., Humble, Texas Yes, I've printed many times through the years to use caution when cleaning with a wire brush. If you feel you must use one, please be sure to wipe off the grates with a damp paper towel to remove any small pieces of wire that may be left behind. Heloise Refrigerator hints Dear Readers: What's in your refrigerator? How often is the door opened? Does it work the way it should? Here are some hints from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make sure your refrigerator is working at its best for you: Don't overpack the refrigerator. The cold air must move around the items to keep them cool. Keep spills cleaned up. Drips, especially from meat products, can cause cross-contamination with other foods. Keep them cleaned up! Check expiration dates. Regularly clean out your refrigerator, throw- ing out foods that have Hints from Heloise expired or gone bad. Keep all foods covered. Whether in storage bags or containers, keep all food items covered when stored in refrigerator. Keep track of tem- perature. An inexpensive thermometer kept in the refrigerator will keep you aware of the actual temperature 40 degrees F or lower is best. For more informa- tion, visit the website at www.fda.gov or call 888-SAFEFOOD (723- 3366). Be patient, as there are prompts you must go through to reach some- one. Heloise Deep frying Dear Heloise: I have an electric deep fryer that I use when entertaining large crowds. I place a layer of newspapers over my kitchen island and then place the fryer in the center so there is no fear of it falling. The newspapers are perfect for catching any oil that spills, and are absorbent enough to keep splatters to a mini- mum. Just throw away the papers when done.

There was a woman whose rear end was exposed sitting in the row ahead. Several people took pictures and posted them on Facebook. My concern is for the woman's family. My friend couldn't think of an easy way to tell her. My question is, how do you tactfully tell someone about her (or his) exposed buttocks without offend- ing the person? JUST ASKING IN ILLINOIS DEAR JUST ASKING: The person who designed low-rise pants for women, frankly, should be taken to the stocks for public punishment. They flatter no one, particularly when the wearer bends or sits. If it's not the flesh drop- ping over the waistband, it's the Great Rift Valley visible from the rear. Robert Burns, a Scottish poet, wrote in 1786 (I am paraphrasing) that if some power would give us the gift to see ourselves as others see us, it would free us from "many a blunder"! How right he was. Had your friend in- formed the woman in the row ahead that her pants had slipped so low that people were photograph- ing the view, she probably would have been less of- fended than embarrassed. The message should have been conveyed quietly by another woman if one felt enough compassion to do it. DEAR ABBY: I was married for 22 years. My husband was verbally, mentally and emotionally abusive to me. I took it for my kids' sake. My daughter recently had a son, and my ex wants nothing to do with him. He says if we don't name the baby after him, the baby doesn't need him in his life. My heart hurts for my grandson. My daughter is not with the baby's daddy. All the baby has is my daughter, my son and me.

My ex is 45 and living with a 23-year-old. I just want him to at least give the baby a chance to know who his grandfather is. If there is no love there when they meet, we won't pursue a relationship. He is upset with me. I don't know why, because he's the one who asked for the divorce. What do you think about this? - CONFUSED IN PHOENIX DEAR CONFUSED: Your ex-husband may be upset with you because he feels some guilt about the divorce, and rather than accept it, he is blam- ing you for it. If you think this baby might somehow smooth over the years of abuse you experienced from him, please forget it. It is perfectly logical that your daughter wouldn't want to name her child for him after witnessing what he put you through for so many years so please don't let her be coerced into it. Because your ex is the kind of person he is, it would be better for all of you if the little boy doesn't get to know him. You married a self-centered, selfish, controlling indi- vidual. Consider yourself lucky that he's not pushing for involvement, because if that happens he will continue to treat all of you exactly the way he used to.
