VENICE R R a75R Gond olier Sun r LOCAL NEWS COVER TO COVER FLORIDA'S NO.1 WEEKLY NEWSPAPER (-1 Tale of Matthew, bankers and a plumber True story of kitten's ordeal By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Editor's Note: Gondolier Sun Features Editor Kim Cool is also an author of several books. She wrote the following as a short story a story about a real life tale of human perserverance, right here in Venice. Despite the cacophonous sound of rush-hour traffic on North U.S. 41 Bypass Thursday, a customer at Florida Shores Bank heard the plaintive cry of a kitten. It was five minutes past the bank's closing hour. The customer pounded frantically on the bank's door. Fortunately, some employees were still inside. Soon, they were outside, in the bank's parking lot with the customer. Following the kitten's cries to a drain pipe that ran beneath the bank's park- ing lot, they tried to no avail -to lure the tiny kitten from the brink of disaster. Frightened and barely the size of a small human hand, the little kitten moved further into the pipe. It had rained earlier in the day. What else could be in that pipe? Worried about its fate, the would-be rescuers put a small piece of rope and some tuna near the entrance to the pipe, They could not reach the animal. All they could do was try to lure it into finding its own way to freedom. Unbeknownst to them, the people were being watched. KITTEN | 5 PHOTO COURTESY OF TANYA MORRIS Matthew Dupree, a plumber with Michael Douglass Plumbing, holds a 5-week-old kitten he pulled Monday from a pipe beneath the parking lot at Florida Shores Bank in Venice. The fate of the kitten life or death would not be known until hours later. See the end of the story. Gator taken into' "custody' Deputy does this often By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR Wranglin' gators is just another day at the office for Sarasota County Sheriff Deputy Blake Luce. On Sunday around 4 p.m., callers spotted an 8-foot alligator on the shoulder of the northbound lane of the Jacaranda roundabout. The gator had traveled from the Publix parking lot across four lanes of traffic when Deputy Luce showed up. He took the alligator into custody using a pipe and noose similar to a dog catcher's pole and noose. He placed the noose over the alligator and dragged it away from the curb. "Normally my motto is to fly below the radar," Luce said, but it wasn't to be on Sunday. Gulp! SF~TLsft SUN PHOTO BY ROGER BUTTON Brian Crisman, assistant manager and chef at Kilwin's Chocolates & Ice Cream, feeds Smart Belly a plastic bottle and Rosanne Brown, co-owner of Venice Stationers, gives Big Belly some paper to compact. PROVIDED PHOTO Sarasota County Sheriff's Deputy Blake Luce wraps up an alligator near the Jacaranda roundabout on Sunday. By then, weekend traffic had backed up the entire roundabout, giving stranded motorists a good view of the action. Luce handed the pipe to another deputy then walked around the alligator and jumped on it, while onlookers honked their horns and other pulled out their smart phones to take pictures. The horns didn't bother Luce, he said, nor the gator. "He was more worried about me and what I was doing." The capture took less than five minutes to complete. GATOR 115 - Big Belly, Smart Belly are here By ROGER BUTTON BUSINESS EDITOR Determined to clean up Venice, the city has introduced Big Belly and Smart Belly to the downtown area. Big Belly is a 100-percent solar-powered trash receptacle that compacts trash right there on the spot. Smart Belly accepts recyclable materials, such as paper and plastic, which are not compacted. These trash receptacles hold up to 150 gallons of waste, five times the volume of a tradi- tional trash can. Using solar power with the panel on the top, Big Belly automatically compacts lightweight items of trash while reducing the carbon footprint. "They have been stationed in Michael Biehl Park and by stores selling ice creams and candy sticks, to collect discard- ed Styrofoam cups, popsicle sticks, napkins and similar items, which are normally just all puff and soon fill a bin," said Bob Moroni, superinten- dent of the City of Venice Solid Waste Recycling Department. Big Belly Smart Belly sta- tions each cost $4,200 each, but the city has leased three double stations for three years. It is hoped the payback will mean less weekly emptying of downtown waste bins, par- ticularly following major street parades and during season, he said. "In this small pilot program to measure the effectiveness, we are testing it out and on the information provided, it would take one fifth of the time," said John Veneziano, the city Public Works Director. "Instead of emptying the bins five times weekly, it would be once, saving labor." There are city-wide 150 cans of which 25-30 are downtown. He said a dedicated full-time person with a vehicle man- ages the collection and if their hours could be cut from 40 to 8 hours, they could do other things. If the project is a suc- cess, more stations could be acquired and the fill-contents BELLY 15 SKY principal on leave By BOB MUDGE SENIOR WRITER Oleh A. Bula, the first and only principal that SKY Academy has had, is on paid leave for undisclosed personal reasons. According to Pat Ryan, vice president of the South County Family YMCA, which operates the charter school, Bula was placed on leave April 30. "There's no issue with anything with kids," Ryan said Tuesday. "The school is doing great, test scores are up. He's just got some per- sonal things he needs to take care of."

The first reported nest was laid May 2 north of Sarasota County's Manasota Public Beach, said Zoe Bass who is the state permit holder, withWilma Katz, overseeing the Coastal Wildlife Club's sea turtle pa- trols. Since then, more sea turtles are coming ashore. "I know we have at least five nests," Bass said Monday. She expects to gather more accurate counts Friday. Mote Marine Laboratory oversees sea turtle nest- ing from Venice north to Longboat Key. According to Mote nesting reports on its website at www. mote.org/2013nesting, from April28 to May 4, one loggerhead nested on Longboat Key, two nests were reported on Siesta Key and one nest on Casey Key. No nests have been reported on Don Pedro or Knight islands, according to Brenda Bossman, who holds the state permit. South of Don Pedro Island State Park, Linda Soderquist oversees turtle nesting on Little Gasparilla Island. "Sadly, our first turtle of the season was a dead one that washed up at Gasparilla Pass on Sunday morning," Soderquist said. The sub- adult loggerhead was first spotted Saturday in the surf before being stranded on the beach Sunday. Little Gasparilla Island has seen three false crawls - when sea turtles crawl onto a beach but do not lay their eggs. Soderquist will be reporting to state wildlife officials how one of those false crawls may have been caused by the sea turtle hitting an obstacle, two two-by-four boards left on the beach. State officials and wildlife groups encourage people to remove beach chairs and any other potential obstruction from beaches at night that might hinder nesting turtles or hatchlings. Last year's sea turtle nest- ing season was a bountiful one even with the major setback of tropical storms. In 2012, more than 3,000 sea turtles nested on Manasota Key. Unfortunately, half or more were lost or washed over by Tropical Storm Debby in June, according to the Coastal Wildlife Club. Bossman, reported 319 nests laid, but 200 were washed away or damaged These tracks mark the first loggerhead nesting on Manasota Key left last week. The stake at the top of the photograph identifies the location of the nest. by tropical storms Debby and Isaac. Mote reported last season's nesting numbers broke a 31-year record in its patrol area, totaling 2,462 loggerhead sea turtle nests and seven green sea turtle nests. Email: reilly@sun-herald.com Federal agencies reviewing loggerhead protections By STEVE REILLY STAFF WRITER The Center for Biological Diversity has pushed federal agencies to offer better protections for the loggerhead sea turtle. Manasota Key and other local Gulf beaches could be deemed as "critical habitats" for nesting loggerheads. To protect the log- gerheads, which are listed as a threatened species, the Center for Biological Diversity with a coalition of other environmental groups took the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Services to court. The federal agencies worked out settlement agreements with the environmentalists. "Protecting sea turtle nesting habitat will not only help sea turtles but every- one who enjoys clean and healthy beaches along the Gulf Coast," Jaclyn Lopez, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, stated in a press release. "Everyone loves seeing sea turtles, and protecting critical habitat means good management for our shores and a safer future for these incredible animals." The Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for sea turtle protection on beaches, while the Marine Fisheries Services estab- lishes protections offshore. U.S. Fish andWildlife Services is now taking public input on its plans to identify 739 Atlantic and Gulf beaches as critical habitat from North Carolina south to Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. Sarasota, Charlotte and Lee counties' Gulf beaches are listed among the proposed critical habi- tats for loggerhead. Both by federal and state wildlife officials, Manasota Key and surrounding barrier islands have long been identified as prime sites on the Gulf Coast for loggerhead and other sea turtle nesting. U.S. Fish andWildlife Services spokesman Chuck Underwood said the des- ignation should not bring any noticeable change to projects needing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal permitting. Instead, Underwood sug- gested the critical beaches will allow his agency to concentrate its conserva- tion management efforts onto those beaches. Michael Poff, vice presi- dent of Coastal Engineering Consultants, also sees no impacts with the designa- tion. Poff is overseeing the development of Charlotte County's 10-year Stump Pass management plan. The Stump Pass dredging and beach renourishment projects have already required federal and state environmental permit- ting that included sea turtle and shorebird nesting protections. "This designation is not establishing a refuge, is not establishing any kind of national park or anything like that," Poff said. "It's des- ignating the sandy beaches in our area as critical habi- tat for the sea turtles. That means our project the next 10-year plan will have to undergo a rigorous environmental review as part of the permit process, which it would have to go through anyway. The NOAA National Marine Fisheries Services is still in the preliminary stages of its proposed protections. "NOAA Fisheries entered into a settlement agree- ment with the Center for Biological Diversity, and agreed to propose critical habitat for loggerhead sea turtles by July 1" said Fisheries spokeswoman Connie Barclay in an email to the Sun. Barclay said the next steps will be first to publish a proposed rule and open it to public input. The Fisheries staff will then review and study new in- formation and comments from which they develop their agency's final rule. The final rule will be published by July 14.

He shared many special friendships with his co-workers at FPL. Henry loved his family and friends dearly. He was sharp as a tack, loyal, car- ing and frugal, and had a keen sense of humor. He was an avid Atlanta Braves baseball fan. He enjoyed sports, reading the newspaper cover to cover and, especially, his family times in the Great Smoky Mountains, where he spent his summers. Henry was a life member of Disabled American Veterans where he also had dear friendships.

The people had done all they could for the kitten that night. When they returned Friday morning, they called animal control. Someone came and said there was no kitten there. They hoped the kitten had found its way to freedom. The people were still being watched as they got back to work and left for the weekend late Friday afternoon, hopeful that the kitten was somehow safe. Monday afternoon, as rush-hour traffic again increased in volume, an- other customer heard the sound of a cat meowing near the parking lot. This time the bank was still open. Obviously, the string and tuna had not worked. They called Michael Douglass Plumbing because they knew the drainpipe went all the way under the parking lot, and by now they feared the little kitten was far from the entrance to the pipe. Someone also called Assurance Wildlife Trapping. One little kitten re- sulted in the assembling of a village of would-be rescuers. More people to watch. The plumber, Matthew Dupree, used a fiber- optic camera on the end of a snaking device to locate the cat. By 6 p.m. Monday, the cat was at least 60 feet into the 6-inch diameter drain pipe. Also in the pipe was assorted muck from the rain. The animal trapper had a device that could snare the kitten but had no way to get it into the pipe. The plumber asked if he could borrow the trapper's tool to affix to the end of the snake with the camera. The trapper's tool had a noose on the end that could be tight- ened around some part of the kitten possibly. Hindered by the muck in the pipe, the plumber snaked the camera and the trapper's tool deep into the drain pipe, hoping to snag the little kitten. Nearly two hours had passed. Finally, just after 7:30 p.m. Monday, with a band of bankers and the trapper watch- ing, the plumber man- aged to lasso one leg of the tiny kitten. Squealing in fright, the kitten was dragged by its little leg through muck and water and finally - to safety. Only its ears and the top half of its head were UIN -HMU IU BY IMIVI UUUL All cleaned up, Matthew, a 5-week-old kitten is no longer dark grey except for its tail and a dark spot on the tip of its right ear. There is a white spot on the tip of its left ear. sort of white. The rest of the tiny kitten was black and wet. Most of its fur was spiky and standing up in points as if a punk rock hairdresser had coiffed it. Wrapped in a blanket, it was taken to the Sarasota Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center, where it was seen by Dr. Nicole Kennedy Monday night. As the kitten was placed in the car to be taken to safety, that too was noted by the large cat that had been watching the proceedings for so many days. As the car headed north, the cat headed off into the woods, seemingly satisfied that the kitten would be safe at last. There still was the mat- ter of all that muck to clean away and whether the little feline would survive. Once the kitten was cleaned, weighed and examined, it seemed the little blackish cat was actually almost all white - except for a charcoal/ brown tail and a tiny tip of dark gray on its right ear. The kitten weighed just 1 pound 1 ounce and was deemed to be a male, about 5 weeks old. First named Mattie, its name was changed to Matthew, to honor the plumber who rescued it. The veterinarian said it had some respiratory problems and would have to be fed by hand for a while. The feeding will be by its new owners, Becky Leake, the bank's branch manager, and her mother, Patricia, who just lost her own cat two weeks ago. As for the watch-cat at the bank will it return to look for its kitten one day or is it content in knowing the kitten has Dr. Ashley Kanzler, of Sarasota Veterinary Emer- gency & Specialty Center, with Matthew, a 5-week-old American shorthair kitten that was rescued Monday from a drain pipe at Florida Shores Bank in Venice. found a new home? - with the help of a village.

EDITOR 941-207-1218 rdupont@venicegondolier.com SUN NEWSPAPERS Adult Italian aperitivo bar coming to Venice By ROGER BUTTON BUSINEWS COLUMNIST In the fall, residents and visitors to downtown can experience what a real Italian bar looks like, as well as the European culture of drinking. This will happen as part of a major expan- sion to the Made In Italy Ristorante Pizzeria at 117 West Venice Ave. The pizzeria opened a year ago. Having acquired the adjoining premises, the owners, Alessandro Di Ferdinando and Giuseppe Del Sole, will be creating the new Made In Italy Aperitivo Bar. "Pepe has shown the city of Venice what he can do with foods, and everyone has appreci- ated this new concept of a pizza by the yard," Ferdinando said. "Now it is time for me to show my liquors and martinis, and the dream we had will be complete." He has trained Italian bar manager Andrea De Dominicis to manage the new bar. Renovations and the build-out start in the middle of July, and Ferdinando expects the grand opening of the bar to be three months later. In a rustic, creative, con- temporary atmosphere similar to the Made in Italy restaurant interior with renderings of prints and paintings around the walls, the focal point will be a huge bar 40 feet long with 25 seats. At the entrance will be a small reception area with a hostess where customers wait- ing to be seated in the restaurant can relax on a large bench. Dinners will not be served at the bar; however, guests can enjoy a drink with a pizza and fast finger food appetizers. In keeping with the Italian bar scene, there will be high top and regular tables. Probably the first bar in Florida without a television, it is a bar where you come in to enjoy your drink and talk to people, the European style, he said. Venice needs a quality adult bar without noisy little kids where 30- to 90-year-olds can relax with special drinks. During the renova- tions, the restaurant kitchen will be expanded, providing Del Sole with opportunities to be more creative with the menu. There are 90 seats in the restaurant, and the bar will add another 60, allowing the owners to get a liquor license. Ferdinando will in his new Made In Italy Aperitivo Bar introduce customers to the high- end service of London and Milano bars, bring- ing a new technique of making drinks with fresh fruit. Customers will see the quantity of liquor poured into the glass of ice, then offered a bottle of tonic or soda. SUN PHOTO BY ROGER BUTTON Alessandro Di Ferdinando, co-owner with Guiseppe Del Sole, indicates excitedly where the new Made In Italy Aperitivo Bar is to be built in the adjoining building to the restaurant. Finishing the experi- ence, he will use all fresh fruit, including his specialty passion fruit martini. When the restaurant closes at 10 p.m. week- days, the bar remain open until midnight or later. "Venice must keep changing and in this beautiful bar if we see business coming through the door, we can stay open until 2 a.m.," he said. "The bar will be open for happy hour from 4.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. when I want people who have finished their office job to come in for a nice martini." Specialists in counseling expand Venice offices Realizing there was no Christian-based counseling center in Venice, Dave Upton opened Eagle's Wings Counseling Center and recently moved the prac- tice to larger offices at 405 Commercial Court, near Cracker Barrel. A nonprofit, it is funded by donations from individu- als and businesses. Services include individual and group counseling on substance abuse, depression and anxiety, marriage and family, personality disorders and behavioral issues with children. Ten counselors cover all aspects of mental health counseling, regardless of religious background, and allow clients to discuss spiritual matters. Services cover Arcadia, as well as Sarasota, Charlotte and Manatee counties. Eagle's Wings Counseling Center accepts some insurance, and for those without insurance, the center charges on a sliding scale based upon income. Upton obtained a bach- elor's degree in Christian Education in Van Wert, Ohio and a master's degree in counseling at Ashbury Theological Seminary, Ky. In 1997, he worked in Sarasota as a substance abuse coun- selor for a year at a local treatment center, then opened a business, Dave's Handyman Services, for five years before founding this center. The center is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. Call 941-375-4321. Winds of Change: Part 2 This week, I am report- ing on the rapid success of two young Italians who came to Venice to introduce their new customized Yard Long Pizzas little more than a year ago. Now they are about to embark on a major expansion that will introduce the first non- sport, European-style adult lounge bar, Made In Italy Aperitivo Bar. Closed, but not for good Last week, the Left Coast Seafood & Oyster Bar at 750 U.S. 41 Bypass North closed. Owner Rob Arbuckle said, "I did not close on purpose, only because of the unex- pected loss of our lease." This family restaurant opened 11 years ago, and Arbuckle intends to reopen in the fall in a new location with the same menu. Moves to Caldwell Susan H.

Inventor hoping this bathroom product will lift off By ROGER BUTTON BUSINEWS COLUMNIST A local inventor has announced what he calls help in the battle of the sexes by creating a LooLifts, a hands-off approach to toilet seats to ease tensions in this key personal sector. This new, everyday item is something you cannot live without, the inventor said, and benefits living together in harmony. As a maker of custom furniture, a kitchen renovator and owner of Osprey Custom Woodworking, Venice resident Tom Mottern admits he is a toilet seat violator. "I (went) on the toilet seat and the wife got mad," he said. "The next day, I went out to my workshop and made this thing, put double stick tape on it and stuck it on the toilet seat. I stopped getting yelled at." He also heard of other incidents involving toilet seats. "Another story I heard was of the guy leaving the lid up at night and the woman having to remember to lower it. One slim women forgot, falling to the bottom. She could not get up and with nothing on the toilet for her to grab, she kept yelling until her husband rescued her." The answer to all these problems, he believes, is his new product, Loolifts, which ends the continuing conversation by provid- ing a hygienic means of making sure the toilet seat is where it needs to be for each user. A small, plastic, semi- circular shaped object, it comes with printed instructions and strong adhesive for attaching to the underside of a toilet seat, creating a handle. Mottern has part- nered with Mike Fogarty of Nokomis to assist with production and marketing LooLifts. This sturdy accessory, they believe, is vital in the bathroom, particu- larly the many unisex Inventor Tom Mottern of Venice demonstrates his Loolifts product, fitted to a toilet seat at a local home. restrooms that are used in offices, plants, stores and hotels. The LooLifts act as a handle. Once it's installed, no one has to pick up the toilet seat with his or her hands. The LooLifts slogan is, "Up. Down. Done." The Loolifts team is planning to approach the city and the county, hotels, restaurants and major public meeting centers. Mottern wants to reach out to the female buyers. Corporate purchasers can have their name, logo or message printed on the handle. For their first run, they made 7,000 and together at their homes are label- ing and fitting adhesive tapes. The first store selling Loolifts is U.S. Mart at 1740 East Venice Ave. They are looking at hardware stores and gas stations, too. LooLifts are sold in a package of three and are available at www.loolifts. com.

SMITH SUN CORRESPONDENT A recently approved statewide ban on texting while driving, sponsored by Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, will receive $1 million in funding for a public service announce- ment campaign as soon as the bill is signed into law by the governor on July 1. Rep. Doug Holder, R-Venice, who supported the bill along with Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota, said the funding has been included in the state budget to herald the ban and its ramifications. "Not only did we get the texting bill, we also got the funding to talk about it afterward," Holder said. "That should start changing our culture as far as what is and what isn't appropriate behavior behind the wheel." The bill, SB 52, was passed by Florida law- makers last week. A first violation results in a $30 fine, plus court costs. A subsequent violation, within five years, carries a $60 fine and adds three points to a driver's license. Final House approval in- cluded a stipulation which allows police to use mobile phone records of offending drivers against them, but only when texting causes an accident resulting in injury or death. "It was an 1 th-hour thing, but it passed," Detert said. "It's the first time ever that Florida will have a law making it il- legal to text while driving. I'm very happy about that. After four years of trying, we finally got the mission accomplished." Holder said including the amendment was ultimately good policy. "In the long run I sup- pose it's prudent to have that language in the bill, even though it put us in a little bit of a time crunch to include it," he said. Detert added the amendment boils down to the new law serving as a secondary offense at a traffic stop. "You would have to UGLY YARDS WANTED! e Complete Landscape LaOpen 7 Days Lawn & Garden Center Design & Install M-S 8:30-5:30. Sun 9-4:30 Saves Lives CooncaceIi e *,laingcaseofcace preventI I o.

"The officer would pull you over and give you a ticket for weaving. Then he would give you a second ticket ac- cusing you of texting while driving. If you want to fight the $30 fine, you would take your own phone records to court and pay court costs. I don't think anybody is going to go to those extreme measures just to fight a $30 ticket." Detert added the overall theme to the law is to impress upon the public that it is against the law to text while driving. "Teenagers will know that," she said. "They'll learn it when they get their driver's license, and hope- fully it will change their behavior. We're not looking to be punitive; we're look- ing to change behavior. Not texting while driving will become as automatic as putting on their seat belt." Although it seems the new law will be directed at teens, Detert said adults are even worse offenders. "The good news is, I've gotten emails from adults saying I've already changed their behavior," she said. "So I think it's working already, and now we won't have to be embarrassed to be one of just a few states with absolutely nothing on the books." Those states which include South Carolina, Montana, South Dakota and Hawaii put no restrictions whatsoever on texting drivers. Floridians, however, have made their voices heard. Recent polls held by the University of Florida and AAA revealed more than 90 percent of Florida residents surveyed support a ban on texting while driving. Their support is founded in compelling statistics. According to the National Safety Council, texting while driving causes 25 percent of all traffic accidents. Studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conclude a texting driver is 23 times more likely to cause a crash than one who is not, and driving while texting is six times more danger- ous than driving drunk. A preliminary report from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shows there were 256,443 reported crashes in the state in 2012. In 4,841 of those crashes, a driver had been texting or otherwise using an "electronic com- munication device" while driving, according to an Associated Press report. "I'm thrilled with the bill passing," Detert said. "And I'm really happy I don't have to do this all again next year." The bill now heads to Gov. Rick Scott's desk. Scott, whose wife report- edly was involved in a car crash last year with someone who was texting while driving, has said he will sign it.

More than 325 of those graduates donned blue caps and gowns and participated in the tradi- tion of walking across the stage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota to receive their diplomas. Keynote speaker David Houle, author and futurist-in-residence of Ringling College of Art and Design, charged the graduates to be visionary dreamers. Houle warned them that they will come up against demands to temper that vision because of the legacy of 20th century thought. "But legacy thinking will fade away this de- cade," the longtime me- dia and entertainment executive predicted, Nine graduates dem- onstrated their ability to actualize their vision The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office reported a battery incident that began in Nokomis, trav- eled to Harbor Drive in Venice, and finished in South Venice. According to the report: A boyfriend and girl- friend were traveling by truck from his residence in Nokomis to her home on South Harbor Drive to pick up her nieces, but by the time they got there, an argument ensued and the woman through their leadership and academic perfor- mances and were final- ists for the Outstanding Graduate Award. SCF president Carol Probstfeld announced the two winners, one from the three baccalau- reate graduates and one from the six associate degree graduates. Boca Grande resident Lidia Litvinova O'Shields, 29, who moved to the United States from Russia four years ago, was named Outstanding Associate Graduate, and Nancy White of Sarasota, who at 51 obtained her Bachelor of Applied Science degree in energy technology management, was honored as Outstanding Baccalaureate Graduate. O'Shields thanked her SCF professors and advis- ers, her mother, who was in the audience, and her husband for "his emo- tional and financial sup- port." She completed her associates work in one year, taking a full load for four straight semesters, including summer. "I like to study and learn new things," she said while waiting for the graduation ceremonies to start, "and a degree is very important to find a good job." O'Shields will start at the University of Florida in the fall, studying Russian and French, with a minor in math. Her longterm goal is to join the U.S. Foreign Service. "I think my skills will serve me well," O'Shields said. Before the gradua- tion ceremonies, White humbly said, "there were more out there more deserving of this honor." When it was an- nounced she had won, she said she did not expect to win, but promptly unfurled a long sheet of paper ostensibly holding the notes of her speech. This provided one of the several moments of levity during the mostly solemn ceremony. White, of Sarasota, has had a career in account- ing for around 30 years, she said, but with the lagging economy she thought it was time to look for a new profession.

PHOTO BY PAUL VIDELA/BHAUENITON HERHALU Against a backdrop of palm trees and a view of Sarasota Bay, State College of Florida graduates queue up at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Saturday for spring commencement exercises. "With stainability and the green thing being big in Florida," she said, "I thought this would be a very exciting field." Along with recent high school graduates, the state college system provides educational opportunities for what are sometimes called nontraditional or older students who want or need to change careers. At 40 years of age, Robert VanderBloemen graduated Saturday from SCF with an associate degree in radiography and is headed into a new career. "This will be my second career," VanderBloemen said. "I was a PGA pro golfer." "You just can't play golf professionally forever," he said. VanderBloemen said he does not regret giving up professional golf and waiting until his mid-life to complete college. "It's been a great 15 years," he said, "It proves you can always go back to school." SCF has campuses in Bradenton, South Venice and Lakewood Ranch.

PHONE: 941-207-1218 rdupont@venicegondolier.com SUN NEWSPAPERS OUR VIEW Warm Mineral Springs what about the other spring? While attention has focused recently on Warm Min- eral Springs, the future of another extraordinary natural site in North Port deserves far more concern than its getting. Little Salt Spring is a 111-acre na- ture preserve that contains a 220-foot deep sinkhole measuring 240 feet in diameter. What sets this spring apart is that the water lacks oxygen below 20 feet. That means the organic mate- rial below is preserved virtually intact. Remarkable, considering scientists believe the sinkhole formed 15,000 years ago during the last ice age. In the 1970s, divers found an extinct land tortoise with a man-made stake through its carapace; it was 12,000 years old. A piece of a giant ground sloth has been found, along with thousands of other artifacts. Since only 5 percent of the spring has been explored, scientists believe it contains much more of scientific significance, perhaps even a key to mankind's beginning in North America. As archaeologist and profes- sor John Gifford of the University of Miami said in a 2012 video, "The fundamental importance of Little Salt Spring is it has a very high probability of containing the earliest paleo-Indian remains in the Western Hemisphere." If divers were to find a 12,000-year- old skeleton which Gifford believes is likely they might extract DNA and discover whether the hemi- sphere's earliest human inhabitants immigrated from Asia or Europe. It's that big a deal, and it's in our backyard. Despite the potential, continued re- search at Little Salt Spring is threatened. In January, Gifford said the univer- sity was making plans to close the research site, which it received in a gift in 1982. At an operating cost of $100,000 per year twice the cost of a student's annual tuition, room and board the research program was no longer considered viable. We think it would be a terrible, short-sighted mistake to close a unique archaeological site that holds so much promise for understanding our past. Preservation is the top prior- ity, but Little Salt Spring also demands exploration. Something must be done to con- vince the university to keep the place open and to proceed with its valuable research here. An endowment from a foundation may be needed, or a partnership with a nonprofit group or the state. A spokeswoman recently said the university was "actively look- ing for other partners to assist in the upkeep of the site." We hope they look long and hard. Local recognition and support has grown. The Friends of Little Salt Spring was formed a year ago and held its first annual meeting recently. During the meeting, the well-respected local archaeologist Steve Koski said, "There is no sense in getting upset or looking at this in a negative way. I still remain hopeful the funding will be there to continue research." We share Koski's hope, if not fully his upbeat attitude. "It's as if the university owns King Tut's Tomb," Gifford said in the 2012 video. And to suspend research and let it close? A little outrage would be appropriate. See our 'Sea Venice By now you have had to notice all the wonderful turtles and dolphins that have appeared over our fair city. We have our very own turtle over here at the Gondolier and we call him Turtle Scoop in honor of all the reporters who brought you the stories, both past and present. Sea Venice is the name of this public arts project, with all the proceeds going to the Venice Art Center. Local artists have ap- plied their talents to each statue and the results are fantastic. Take a look at each one for yourself, spend some time admiring the detail that each artist gave to these creatures and then you will see the pas- sion brought to this project. Our newspaper is proud to be the media sponsor for this event, and we look forward to all the upcoming Sea Venice events that will eventually conclude in the spring of 2014 with an auction of these magnificent statues. In today's edition, we proudly present to you a special section that the Venice Art Center and the Venice Gondolier Sun put together for you. In this section, there is a map detailing the locations of each dolphin and turtle. You may want to hang on to this section as I am sure there will be a specific way you can use it to help you during one of the next Sea Venice events. I can't give away too many details as of today; however, we will keep you informed on how to use this handy map as we move forward. This has been a huge task to get the "critters" on the street. Soon the fun begins. Last year, we launched our magazine Business Matters, and it was warmly received across the region. We had many requests, from businesses to private homes, asking for more copies and we were overwhelmed with the positive response. As we prepare for our second year of publishing Business Matters, the sponsorship inter- est has increased so much that we now are going to move to sponsorships by category, in- stead of by region. Additionally, we want you to tell us how many years your company has been of service to this market. We are going to have a celebration this year for our advertisers in the magazine, and there will be special rec- ognition for those advertisers as well. Please remember we are looking for local business people to write articles about their industry and how our local people can benefit from that industry. Our magazine is for local busi- ness, primarily written by local business people and distributed for people to use as a decision maker when a need arises. We were quite pleased with our last year's publication, and we are dedicated to make this year's even better. With your help, we will accomplish this in July. Our next community cal- endar is scheduled to publish in July, and we are quite pleased that the artwork in this calendar will be chosen from the young artists at the Boys and Girls Club of Venice. We publish these calendars to showcase the wonderful talents of these local children. I am sure all these young ones hope that one day they will be painting all the beauti- ful dolphins and turtles as seen in the Sea Venice project, but for now I promise you, the effort these kids put into this calendar art is monumental. The pride they demonstrate when we pick their work to be featured in this calendar can bring a tear to your eye. This is one of those projects that touch all ages and lasts for 12 months; it just doesn't get better, folks. Tim Smolarick is publisher of the Gondolier Sun.

I LETTERS FROM OUR READERS He sees the light Editor: NowW's invasion of Iraq makes sense. They should have told us long time ago about all the pressure cookers they found and destroyed in Iraq. I would have felt much better about the 10-year, $3 trillion, 400,000 death war protecting the world from those WMDs. Gene Dillahunty Venice More of Old Venice is lost Editor: Sorry to see the old Clyde Higel property being devel- oped (between Ormond and Madrid on the Esplanade). We Higelville kids used to play in a spring at the low point of that land, which had to be a pretty cool hangout for the Florida natives. I have arrowheads found in that area. The hammock of palms and oaks when driving to the South Jetty is what makes Venice, well, Venice. It's the last spit of land that even resembles what all of that area looked like when I was young. So I'm thankful for being around to see a lot of the City on the Gulf's rich, natural history. Glad someone left something for me. Wish I could say the same. Dave Lawrence Venice A loss of morality Editor: There is plenty of blame for today's problems and troubles. The real cause is seldom, if ever, mentioned. George Washington and others spoke of the need for morality in government. Now officials deny that we are a Christian nation. They talk of separation of church and state. They really want tyranny without morality. History shows that dishon- esty in government will result in corruption, division, failure and violence. Willful dishonesty should not be tolerated, not rewarded. People accept and demand dishonesty and deceit at all levels. Attacks on Christianity cause loss of respect for government. Americans must speak up and demand leadership and sincerity to regain liberty and prosperity. False talk will not bring good results. Long ago we were warned that there would be many false prophets. Habitual lying brings more depression and desperate action. Christian faith brought good results. John W. Lewis Venice There is a 'free'lunch Editor: On April 12, about 12:45, after finishing my stint as a hospital volunteer at the Urgent Care Clinic, I stopped at Target's lunch counter and ordered a sandwich and soda. When I looked in my bag for my wallet, it was not there, so I canceled my order ... and was told it had been paid for. I turned and a young man smiled. I protested and then said many thank-yous. A very brief conversation followed. He was a 19-year-old college student in a com- puter program with leanings toward teaching. His mother is a teacher and his father a farmer. We talked about future possibilities and then his popcorn arrived; another smile, a goodbye and he was gone. As I ate my lunch bask- ing in the glow of what just happened, I realized I had not learned his name. This gesture of thoughtfulness and generosity from this young man said so much about him. Mae Morrow Venice Turn back to God Editor: I just watched the program on the dedication of the Bush Library. I was so thankful for the beautiful day that God provided for this. Then I heard the band and the beautiful voice of the man who sang "The Star Spangled Banner" as it should be sung - note for note and in tempo. Then I thought of our coun- try and what has happened to it in the last five years. I could not help to think of how it was looked up to five years ago and is now a disgrace to the world. President Bush put America first. He looked to God for guidance and set an example of what he believed. Today we are despised by the world and God is not looked to for guidance. The press and Obama are pushing secret policies, hurting Americans. What a difference in two men one loving America and its people, while the other cannot even admit that terrorist Islamists exist. It shows who was raised a Christian and who was raised a Muslim. I thought the comments made by a Fox reporter were so wonderful when he said, "I re- ally felt like an American today after President Bush's remarks." Have we lost something in the last five years? You bet we have. America, let's get back to God and being Americans again. It's the only way for America to get back to what it was founded on - Christian men who believed in freedom. Let's get on our knees and ask God to forgive us for America falling away from God. June Brun Venice LETTERS 111 Venice with WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2013 LETTERS FROM PAGE 10 God's word is first Editor: In response to R. Schiller of Venice, respectfully, yes, I am a Fundamentalist Christian, which means I believe in the inherent truth of the Bible, not my interpretation of it. As far as the Constitution, which I am respectful of, I believe God's word, the Bible, is the first law, the Constitution is man's law. As you stated, 56 per- cent of America believes in gay rights. What you should have said is 56 percent of politi- cally correct Americans. There are only 3 percent of our citizens who are gay. I do not feel we should be subservient to their wishes. I am subservient only to God's wishes. Your reference to "judge not lest ye be judged" is a reference in the Bible to a certain subject and should not be taken out of context. But as to judging, read 1st Corinthians 2:15, which states, "But he who is spiritual (believ- ers) judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man (only God). And as for gays, Romans 1:24: "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves."

Farley Venice Much is right with Venice Editor: As another season wanes, I want to mention some of the things that are right with Venice: The rampant volunteerism, such as Sertoma, Kiwanis, Rotary and the Lions Club, in putting together fundraisers to assist those in need in our community. Those volunteers who just make Venice special, such as Bob Vedder and his group that keep the baskets of flowers downtown so colorful.

Myers Nokomis Closing cafes is bad business Editor: An article published April 13 described the success of Gov. Scott. The article identified the creation of 280,000 new jobs, dropping the unemployment rate, paying down the state debt by $2 billion, eliminating thousands of regulations on job creation and projecting a budget surplus. This is all good for the state of Florida. However, on April 17, the Internet cafe article was printed. House Bill 155 will close more than 200 businesses and eliminate 15,000 jobs associated with the cafes. The loss will not stop with empty business buildings and the newly unemployed. Consider the loss of tax dollars generated from these businesses, the land- lords of the buildings no longer receiving rent, loss of business to vendors who supply the Internet cafes with snacks, food and bever- ages and, of course, the investments by business owners. In addition, there will be the expense of local law enforcement agen- cies tasked to enforce House Bill 155 and the legal fees that both the state and business owners will have to pay to fight this battle.

The Internet cafes were approved and opened as legitimate business ventures. These establishments have generated revenue for the state.

It gives them a reason to get out of the house and socialize with friends. They can go with walkers, wheelchairs, canes, oxygen what- ever their condition may be and have a little fun. How can closing these businesses benefit the state? How will the loss of revenue calculate into the governor's next progress report?

In fact, the only run he's allowed this season was way back on Feb. 13. But in Tuesday's 7A regional semifinal against Sarasota, the Venice closer didn't even allow a hit. The Indians (26-3) defeated the Sailors 3-0 on the strength of Hammond's four no-hit innings and got timely hitting from the bot- tom of the lineup in the second inning, putting Venice one win away from returning to the 7A state semifinal. The win was Venice's fourth over the Sailors this season. Starting pitcher Brandon Elmy allowed just two hits in three shutout innings and Hammond, who has haunted the Sailors' dreams all year, quieted their bats yet again. Sarasota Head Coach Clyde Metcalf said of Hammond, "I don't think anyone has figured him out. We're on that list. They outplayed us across the board." Venice Head Coach Craig Faulkner said he decided to start Elmy because he liked how the junior matched up with Dylan White and Brandon Chapman, Sarasota's No. 3 and No. 4 hitters. "We just felt like Elmy was better suited to pitch against them," Faulkner said. "He does well with those two guys. It was a tough decision, though." Elmy said, "I felt really good. Around here, they call me the big-game pitcher. I control my adrenaline pretty well, but any of our pitchers could've come out here and thrown this game." The momentum of the game swung in the second inning, when a Chapman single and a mishandled bunt gave the Sailors runners on first and second with no outs. Jason Sierra attempted to bunt the runners over, but a charging Colton Lightner fielded Sierra's bunt and easily threw out pinch-runner Shawn Bane at third. Following a groundout that put runners in scoring position with two outs, Elmy struck out Zach McMullen looking to end the threat. Venice capitalized on a Sarasota mistake in the bottom half of the inning to take control of the game. After Mike Rivera led off with a walk, Nick Longhi hit a chopper to Sarasota second baseman Tyler Leonard, whose throw to second hit pinch-runner Langston Provitt in the back. Tyler Atwell bunted the runners over and Ryan Miller shot Sailors starter Josh Knies' 1-1 offering past a drawn-in infield and into right field to score Provitt and give Venice the lead. "I knew he was gonna come back with another slider," Miller said. "I just stayed short, hit it the other way and the rest was history." Danny Raynor's two- out double dropped in front of a diving Matt Schlabach and scored Longhi, increasing the lead to 2-0. Venice's ability to capitalize on the miscue proved to be the differ- ence in the game. "That's what we do best," Faulkner said. "We do the little things." After White reached on an infield single to lead off the top of the fourth, Hammond entered and promptly got Chapman to hit into a 5-4-3 double play. A hit batter was the only runner the senior closer allowed. Dalton Guthrie's RBI single in the sixth provided an insur- ance run. Hammond said, "I felt good tonight. I've been trying to work my fastball in, and it's been working." Miller was more ef- fusive in his praise. "Coop, he's amazing," he said. "He doesn't like to leave a comma out on the field; he likes to put a period on it. Whatever they've got going, he stops it. He's our go-to guy." The Indians will host Wiregrass Ranch in Friday's regional semi- final, with the winner advancing to next weekend's state semifinal in Fort Myers.

Email: RSmith@VeniceGondolier.com HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Indians sharp as spring practice begins By ROB SMITH SPORTS EDITOR With spring practice having kicked off last week, the Venice High football team finds itself breaking in a new starting quarter- back again. But head coach John Peacock believes the future of his team is much brighter now than it was at this time a year ago. "We're way ahead of the game," Peacock said. "Most of our offense is in on day four here. We've had a great offseason, the best offseason I've been around as far as the com- mitment level, and the gains we've made in the weight room have been unbelievable. So we feel real good about what's going on right now." The biggest position bat- tle on tap is at quarterback, where a trio of Indians - junior Misho Cemovich and seniors Dominic Marino and Langston Provitt- are competing to fill the vacancy left by Kale Youtzy, whose stellar 2012 season earned him a scholarship to Army. Marino, a dual-threat signal-caller who started for Riverview in 2012 be- fore transferring to Venice High in January, appears to have an early leg up on the competition. "Dom Marino looks re- ally good at quarterback," Peacock said. Elsewhere, the Indians return a lot of the same faces that led the Indians to an 8-4 record and a regional semifinal berth in 2012, including run- ning back Terry Polk, who ran for 1,802 yards and 22 touchdowns as a junior. "We've got so many guys who are returning starters," Peacock said. "We're trying to build some depth and get these young kids some looks." One strength for Venice will be its offensive line, which returns four start- ers: junior tackles Alex Quarterback Misho Cemovich runs the option Monday afternoon. Hoag and Tyler Gauthier, center Bo Rydecki and guard Dane Dabney. "They're 100 times better than they were this time last year," Peacock said. "It's night and day. We would beat last year's team today. Just as far as matu- rity and the growth they've made in the offseason, it's night and day." The Indians have a couple more weeks to im- prove before they travel to perennial state power Lakeland to take on the Dreadnaughts May 24. Peacock said, "I tried to schedule the toughest opponent I could, and Lakeland is probably the premier team in the state as far as what they've done in the past. I just want to see where we are compared to the rest of the state and on the 24th we've got a great opportunity to see." In the meantime, there's plenty of work to be done. "We've got to fill a couple spots and we've got competition going on SUN PHOTOS BY ROB SMITH Sophomore running back Joe Williams has made a strong impression on the coaches during spring practice. there," Peacock said.

SUN NEWSPAPERS 13A IgetN~ t 5% roc Ne/ WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2013 Letter carrier food drive is Saturday STAFF REPORT Local letter carriers are hoping to pick up more from your mailbox Saturday than outgoing letters and bill payments. May 11 is the annual National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger food drive. Now in its 21st year, to date the drive has put more than 1.2 billion pounds of food into local food pantries and other hunger relief organizations. Annual donations have topped 70 million pounds for the last nine years, according to the Stamp Out Hunger website. Technically, the food drive benefits Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger- relief organization. But the items that local mail carriers pick up are distributed locally. In 2012, mail custom- ers in more than 10,000 communities donated food. The drive is held in May each year because it's a period of low inven- tory for food providers. "The Stamp Out Hunger food drive is important for our local communities because it helps stock food banks and pantries for summer, a time when there's an increased need for food assistance, especially for children who are out of school," said FredricV. Rolando, NALC president, in a prepared statement. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study, more than 50 million Americans, including nearly 17 million chil- dren, are "food insecure," meaning they live at risk of hunger. If you want to par- ticipate in the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, leave a bag of nonperishable food items by your mail- box on Saturday, May 11. Your letter carrier will then pick up and deliver the food to a local food bank. Preferred items include: Peanut butter Canned soup Canned meats and fish Canned vegetables, fruits and juices Boxed goods such as cereal Pasta and rice Don't put out anything in a glass container or that is past its expiration date.

Casey Key parcel sells for $4.6 million STAFF REPORT A parcel of land on Casey Key that was still owned by heirs to the Potter and Bertha Honore Palmer estate sold May 1 for $4.6 million. The parcel is in what's known as Palmers Northerly Subdivision. A nearby parcel in the same subdivision sold for $5.95 million in 2010. The Palmer family acquired the parcel in 1925 in a land swap with the state of Florida and it had changed hands only by inheri- tance since never by recorded deed. According to a press statement from Michael Saunders & Company, whose agents represent- ed both the sellers and the buyers, the lack of recorded deeds meant that title examiners had to research ownership through wills, including that of Potter Palmer, who died in 1902. That required a trip to Chicago. Potter Palmer was a major developer in Chicago. Honore Palmer became an equally large figure in this area after they bought about 80,000 acres of land in and around Sarasota, Their heirs traded a small part of those hold- ings to the state in 1925 in exchange for state- owned properties on the northern tip of Casey Key directly across Sarasota Bay from Bertha Palmer's estate at Spanish Point. PHOTO COURTESY OF MICHAEL SAUNDERS & COMPANY This parcel on Casey Key sold last week for $4.6 million, the highest price paid for a vacant parcel on the key in three years.

WCI is also the de- veloper of Venetian Golf & River Club, in North Venice. It bought Sarasota National from Sarasota National CDD Holdings LLC after the prior owner, Tuscano LLC, lost it in foreclosure last year. The purchase was announced in a press statement. The company did not dis- close the sales price. Sarasota National is approved for 1,584 homes, including 800 homes in the golf and country club portion of the community. Only about 30 homes have been completed to date. Sarasota National's existing 18-hole golf course, designed by Gordon Lewis, is an Audubon International Certified Signature Sanctuary and includes a golf pro shop, driving range and chipping and putting greens. More than 1,300 acres of the development are designated for preserva- tion, conservation and open space. Future amenities are likely to include a main resort- style clubhouse with fine and casual dining, a spa and fitness facility, tennis courts and pools overlooking the golf course. Laura V. Johnston, WCI vice president of Marketing and Public HMUIU UUHILEaY UI- VVUW WCI Communities Inc. is the new owner of Sarasota National, a golf course community southeast of Venice that failed to take off due to the recession.

According to the press statement, WCI anticipates opening the community for sales late this year. GATOR FROM PAGE 1 And there stood Deputy Luce for the next 45 minutes, "hold- ing him on the line like a dog," while the public took pictures, waiting for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to show up. "I'm surprised this hasn't shown up on YouTube," Luce said. "Some people made that trip around the roundabout four or five times taking pictures. Lucky there wasn't an accident." The gator was turned over to FWC to be permanently relocated. It's the fourth Luce has captured in as many weeks. But not the biggest. Luce said he's caught a couple of 10- to 11-footers, but "no big monsters" yet in his 10 years with the SUN NEWSPAPERS 15A Argicultural Unit, which responds to agricul- tural crimes and works closely with property owners to ensure their lands remain safe. The unit also works closely with the Southwest Florida Agricultural Task Force, which serves 12 counties. Two weeks ago, Deputy Luce removed an alligator more than 10-feet long that had lodged itself in the Myakka River Bridge near midnight during a rainstorm, with its head stuck between the railing and the cement bridge, and its body "flopping around in traffic," Luce said. "Lately it's been one a week. It'll be like that for the next month or two during mating season. That's when you see them in pools and unusual places like that."

The occasion is Chalkfest, an annual fundraising event of the Venice Art Center. Unlike the murals that decorate some areas of Venice, the sidewalk art will be clustered around Centennial Park. "We are still looking for more artists," Venice Art Center director Mary Morris said Monday. As all the sidewalks surrounding Centennial Park are available for painting, there is more than enough room for amateurs and profession- als alike ofany any age. For this event, anyone able to hold on to a piece of chalk and get down on a sidewalk for a few hours is welcome. There are categories for individuals, groups and professionals, with prizes to category winners. In past years, artists have copied and enlarged postage stamp designs, drawn monsters escaping from 3-dimensional paint- ed holes in the sidewalk, created self-portraits and all manner of flora and fauna all in chalk. The last chance to sign up will be tomorrow, May 9 at the art center. Artists should bring their own chalk and plan a design that can be com- pleted in three hours. The event begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and judging will follow at 11 a.m. Artist check-in will be at the chalk festival booth adjacent to the kiosk on West Venice Avenue in Centennial park, between Nassau Street and North Nokomis Avenue. The cost to participate is $5 for children or adults, $10 per group sharing one sidewalk square and $15 per par- ticipant for professionals. Cash prizes for the profes- sionals are being offered by Venice Paint Company, 1945 South Tamiami Trail, where chalk and other art supplies may be pur- chased. For information, call 941-493-0100. Non-cash awards and other prizes will be given in the amateur categories. Judging will be by professional artists. Sponsors include Venice MainStreet, Venice Art Center and the Venice Gondolier Sun. Offering more chances to express one's creative side in Venice is Venice Art Center's Family Fun Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center, 390 S. Nokomis Ave. For information on Chalkfest, Family Fun Day, summer classes for children and adults or other events at the center, call 941-485-7136 or visit VeniceArtCenter.com.

Impossible becomes possible as they get their homes By CLINTON BURTON STAFF WRITER Irene Burns could hardly contain her emotions. "Five years ago, when the economy started going downhill, I lost everything that I had been working so hard for my whole life," she said. "I did not think it would be possible to ever own my own home again." She was wrong. Burns and her mother Marion Farmer were presented with keys to their new home Saturday morning; a culmination of their hard work and the efforts of Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County. Burns thanked her family and friends and thanked God for "pushing her into the hands" of the people of Habitat. Burns and Farmer were one of the two families handed the keys to their new Habitat homes a duplex on Forked Creek Drive in Englewood at a dedication ceremony Saturday. Joline Keglovics will be their new neighbor. "Today I am turning a new page in my book of life. My faith has kept me strong and helped me through the ups and downs of my life," she said. "There are no words to describe my gratitude. I'm so very thankful." Keglovics' journey toward a Habitat home began almost three years ago, Habitat's Family Support Director Beth Ferris said, and almost ended prematurely. "She got about halfway through the program. She had done volunteer hours, put in money for her deposit, but then she had some illness problems," she said. "She was thinking she was going to have to drop out of the program, but we talked and she was able to go on medical leave and still be part of the program. Here she is today, and she's getting a house. We couldn't be more happy for her." The women were welcomed to the neighborhood with housewarming and spiritual gifts; a bless- ing of the homes by the Rev. Chris Romig, pastor of Venice Presbyterian Church; and the presenta- tion of their house keys by Susan Wood of the Wilson Wood Foundation and Nelda Thompson of the Jim and Nelda Thompson Family Foundation.

National Nurses Week be- gan May 6, National Nurses Day, and ends May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of modem nursing. The theme for this year's week is "Delivering Quality & Innovation in Patient Care," as desig- nated by the American Nurses Association. Continually at the bedside, nurses make their patients' well-being a pri- ority and regularly develop innovative solutions to enhance care. Their ongo- ing commitment to quality is what moves health care forward what often begins as a solution for one patient becomes an advancement that benefits countless others. "Nurses play an es- sential role in enhancing patient care, increasing access, coordinating care and reducing health care costs," said Cathy Carr, CNE. "They are at the forefront of innovation ev- ery day, and they deserve special recognition. We want them to know how much we value their hard work and commitment to superior patient care - honoring them is what this week is all about." Nurses are being showered with love and appreciation throughout the week with special events including a breakfast, desserts and candlelight dinner. They will receive gift baskets filled with treats and a special gift to commemo- rate their hard work and dedication. Nurses who have achieved national certification or higher education degrees in the past year will be honored. 'All of us at Venice Regional Medical Center want to thank our outstanding nurses who work tirelessly to ensure the health and welfare of our patients," said Peter Wozniak, CEO. "We'd like to thank them for their professionalism, their commitment to the highest standards, and their undying dedication to those they serve."

When BettyGene applied to become a clinic patient, her medical problems were serious.

"They honestly listened to me and treated me with a blend of sternness and kindness." In addition to her medical care, the doctors insisted she treat oral infections, which were having a major impact on her whole body. Before coming to the clinic, she had little continuity of care or accurate diagnosis, and her lifestyle wasn't helping. She hadn't been following a diabetic diet or taking her medications as prescribed. With the encouragement of the clinic staff, she began to make changes that would alter her future and bring back a smile she thought she'd lost forever. TEAM 3 OUT OF ALIGNMENT DR. DAN BUSCH, DR. ERENE ROMANSKI CHIROPRACTOR Normally, a person's center of gravity allows a plumb line dropped from ear level to fall straight down to the ankle while crossing the outer tip of the shoulder, the middle of the hip, and the back of the kneecap. All too often, however, the normal center of gravity can be shifted by rounding the shoulders, swaying the back, or sticking out the buttocks. This poor posture alters the normal curvature of the spine and stresses its supporting muscles and ligaments. It shifts the center of gravity forward or backward, and the muscles of the back are forced to work abnormally to compensate for the body's weight shift. The resulting strain is the most common underlying factor of back pain. P.S. Lying down is the least stressful posture.

'Second Samuel' is first-rate By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Venice Theatre's production of Pamela Parker's "Second Samuel" is as en- tertaining as it is thought-provoking. The play is set in a Georgia town so small that everyone knows everyone or at least they think they do. The time is just after World War II. "Give 'em Hell" Harry Truman is president. "Most of the state voted against him," Frisky (Mike Gilbert) said. "The president used to work with his hands so that makes him like one of us." Frisky owns the Bait 'n Brew, where most of the men in Second Samuel hang out. More watering hole than bait shop, it attracts the likes of a good ol' boy named Mansel (Allan Kollar although played by Murray Chase, May 2-5), Doc (Jim Lovett), local undertaker June (Neil Kasanofsky) and town curmudgeon Mr. Mozel (Douglas Snure). U.S. (Carroll Hunter), a black man in all-white still segregated Georgia, is the bar keeper and the owner's designated heir for the Bait 'n Brew. Second Samuel women spend their time at Omaha Nebraska Madison's (Lori Chase) beauty salon. They include Jimmy DeeAnne (Kim Kollar, played by Laurie Colton May 2-5), Marcela (Nancy Denton) and a young girl named Ruby (Arianna DeCecco, played by Kenzie Morgan Balliet May 2-3). The biggest role is that of the narrator, B Flat (Hunter Cross), a young man some might describe as slow. Cross is anything but and turns in an especially fine job. "This is the summer that Miss Gertrude passed away," B Flat said. It seems everyone is sad about the loss except Mozel. "He don't like no- body," B Flat said. With the beauty parlor at stage right, the Bait n' Brew at stage left and Miss Gertrude's home center stage, it is easy to switch the action to either side of B Flat, who performs most of his lines from in front of Miss Gertrude's house. Omaha did Miss Gertrude's hair for years and decides to go down to June's funeral parlor and do her hair one last time. While there, she and June learn a secret that could ultimately show the true character of everyone in town. Omaha is so dis- traught she can hardly speak. Chase plays it perfectly. How they all deal with the secret is the gist of the second act, which begins with Omaha still babbling and blubbering and the men, according to B Flat, getting all worked up over at the Bait 'n Brew." Omaha is still cry- ing at the beauty shop and Jimmy DeeAnne is angry because she did not know the secret. She is not alone. The men are arguing with one another at their watering hole. "Some people has a problem when they find out someone's got a secret," B Flat said. "It makes them all insecure." As the anger of the town's people acceler- ates, B Flat becomes so exasperated that he tells them he hates them all and that they are the ones who are stupid. U.S. mentions the Bible, which tells people to love one another. "Miss Gertrude loved everyone in the town," U.S. said. "It is not up to us to judge." His words have a calming effect, and he adds, "I don't always feel comfortable with white people when they all riled up. Sometimes I'm afraid and some- times I'm not." Having fears about those who are different is the norm in Second Samuel as it is in many places. There could be a lesson in how they deal with them, yet the delivery is in no way heavy-handed. As a director, Chase has a way of guiding his actors to uncover the people behind the characters. Once again, he does it well but then he had help from an able cast who performed well against Donna Buckalter's well-thought out and executed set design. Costumes were by Francine Smetts with sound by Dorian Boyd and lighting by Christopher A.D. Parish. Lighting served almost as an additional character in this play and was delivered right on cue. Hunter Cross had a meaty role and made the most of it, even to nearly twisting a button off his overalls. Laurie Colton showed her flair for comedy is right up there with her singing ability. Snure and Kasanofsky as Doc and June also made the most of their characters, although their lines were few. Murray Chase did the same, using a look or nothing more than posture to reinforce the characterization of Mansel. I was at the May 3 performance, which had three replace- ments (Murray Chase, Colton and Balliet) in the cast. That was part of the original plan so that the Kollars could lead the annual Venice Theatre trip to New York City and DeCecco could attend her high school prom. That it was planned this way and featured known talents subbing for known tal- ents gave me no qualms. Sandra Henderson is the stage manager. Musical arrangements were handled by Michelle Kasanofsky.

Beautiful but venom- ous, lionfish are a threat to native marine species. An Englewood spearfish- ing tournament the second of its kind locally- is planned starting May 1 to round them up. In August, the FWC temporarily waived the recreational fishing li- cense requirement when targeting lionfish with a handheld net, pole spear, Hawaiian sling or any other spearing device designed and marketed exclusively for lionfish. This rule change also removed any bag limits when recreationally or commercially harvesting lionfish. The FWC announced this week that it plans at its June meeting to make the waiver on lionfish permanent. Locally, a second annual lionfishh roundup" is being planned the Englewood Open Spearfishing Tournament. The roundup will start May 1, and concludes Sept. 21. Last year, the Englewood tournament resulted in the capture of 15 lionfish, but Lynn Wagenseil, one of the or- ganizers, said she expects more this year. "It's pretty much what we expected with the limited education we got out," Wagenseil said. She said she has heard reports of lionfish prolif- erating and being found in local waters as shallow as 40 feet deep. Jim Joseph, owner of Fantesea Scuba in Port Charlotte, said, "We're seeing more of them, but not in the concentrations of the East Coast yet." Joseph said local divers have spotted lionfish on shallow reefs and deep wrecks. In 2010, the Sun reported that Tom Reilly a resident of Miramar, Fla., familiar with lionfish caught a 7-inch lionfish from the beach on the north end of Manasota Key. Unfortunately, Reilly told the Sun, when he tried to unhook the fish without touching its venom- ous spines, the lionfish escaped. Lionfish are native to the South Pacific and Indian oceans, according to the FWC. They are colored brown and white with a "zebra-like appearance." They grow to 12 to 15 inches long. Working with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers, Wagenseil said she's keeping a 2-pound lionfish in her freezer that she will send them. While she sends lionfish carcasses to NOAA, she also said lionfish fillets are good eating "phenomenal," she said. The pectoral fins of lionfish are long and showy with a row of dorsal spines. Each spine contains a venom gland "in the distal third of the spine (but not at the tip)." Lionfish venom causes pain but is rarely lethal to humans, the FWC said. Lionfish first were reported near Dania Beach in South Broward County in 1985. In the 1990s, state wildlife officials received four reports from Miami, Boca Raton and Palm Beach, and one from Bermuda. FWC spokeswoman Amanda Nalley said lionfish have shown up in waters as far north as Rhode Island on FILE PHOTO PROVIDED A lionfish roundup is planned for May 1 to Sept. 21 in Englewood. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion is giving away T-shirts for catching lionfish and posting the photos on Twitter or Instagram. the Atlantic Coast, and Texas on the Gulf Coast. Lionfish, however, are most prolific in Atlantic waters off Miami and South Florida. While lionfish are popular with saltwater aquarium enthusiasts and still are sold in Florida, Nalley said researchers haven't determined how they first were introduced in Florida waters.

Email: reilly@sun-herald.com Report: Nearly half of new moms unmarried in area By JIM DE LA BRADENTON HERALD The North Port- Sarasota-Bradenton area has Florida's seventh- highest rate of births by unmarried women. A report based on 2011 data released recently by the U.S. Census Bureau showed 42.5 percent of women age 15 to 50 who have given birth the previ- ous 12 months in the three- city area were unmarried. Nationally, 62 percent of new mothers age 20 to 24 in the same time period were unmarried compared with 17 percent among women age 35 to 39. In Florida, the Ocala metro area leads the state with 59.6 percent of unmarried new moms. Other Florida areas with higher rates: Vero Beach, 50.3 percent; Lakeland, 47.9 percent; Orlando, 44.6 percent; Tallahassee, 43.4 percent; and Tampa, 43.1 percent. Palm Coast, the area between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, was the lowest at 6.2 percent. The information comes from "Social and Economic Characteristics of Currently Unmarried Women with a Recent Birth: 2011," an American Community Survey report. The analysis is based on survey ques- tions on whether women have given birth in the past 12 months and their marital status. In 2011, 4.1 million women reported they had given birth in the last year. Of these women, 36 percent were unmar- ried at the time of the survey, an increase of five percentage points from 2005 when an estimated 31 percent of recent births were to unmarried women. "Nonmarital fertil- ity has been climbing steadily since the 1940s and has risen even more markedly in recent years," said Rose Kreider, a fam- ily demographer with the Census Bureau and one of the report's authors. Anecdotally, Fred Leonard, executive director of Healthy Start Coalition of Manatee County, and his staff point to economics and race as contributing factors. "More unmarried births occur in lower socio- economic groups, as well as minorities," primarily African-Americans and Hispanics, he said. In addition, he said a number of young people are putting off marriage until later in life. "But they do have re- lationships and they are sexually active," he said. "Maybe they're pursu- ing a career. But they're saying, 'Meanwhile, I'm going to live my life.'" The national data supports Leonard's observations. The census also reports women with more education generally have a lower rate of births out of marriage, a character- istic also true for Florida. For example, Ocala has the state's lowest rate of women with a college degree at 11.5 percent. In the North Port- Sarasota- Bradenton area, 22.1 percent of the women surveyed had a college degree while 18.5 percent did not have a high school diploma.

HOMES FROM PAGE 1 Saturday's dedication was a big day for the new homeowners, but also for South County Habitat. It has been several years since the organization built in Englewood, Executive Director Judith Wilcox said following the ceremony. "We normally don't purchase property that is in a low-lying flood zone, but now we are able to do that, and are able to help the families with insurance," she said. "We are really hoping to have more of a presence in South Sarasota County and in Englewood." As emotional as the morning was for the new homeowners, Habitat staffers and volunteers and the dozens of people who showed up some walking several blocks from where they were parked - just to watch the dedica- tion, the Rev. Theresa Foster from Christ Lutheran Church in Englewood may have summed it up best with a quote from 16th century German theologian Martin Luther. "I was thinking this morning about the Ten Commandments, and the one I kept coming back to was, 'Thou shalt not steal.' Martin Luther wrote, 'What this means is we should not only not rob from our neighbors or take from them, but that we should add to them and increase their wealth and their suc- cess and do so with love,'" she said. "I can't think of a better example of that than the work that is done by the many people of Habitat for Humanity." Email: cburton@sun-herald.com Dozens of Habitat volunteers, family members, friends, neigh- bors and supporters attended Saturday's dedication ceremony. ------m III 7 1-PS A FINANCING OPTIONS IN-HOME CONSULTATIONS FREE ESTIMATES SW PL AC 1865-A S.TamiamiTrail.* Venice, FL 34293 SM-F 9-5, Sat 9-2 or by appointment. p* CERAMIC*ARD OO 941 -492-6646 SLO ORS 0Established 1987 q & Window Treatments, Drapery's & Upholstry WWW.showplacefloorsvenice.com 6 1 : .

What do you bid now? A In the good old days you could jump to three clubs to show a good hand and a long suit, but the modem version of that action is pre-emptive. And you cannot cue-bid two diamonds since that shows a limit raise or better in partner's suit. However, a simple bid of two clubs is forcing. Do that, and bid strongly thereafter, Q 2 Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold: 4 K 42 J 4 3 0 63 4 108754 The bidding has proceeded: WEST NORTH EAST SOUTHl 10 14 26 ? What action do you take?

Becca Christie holds one of the butterflies presented to cancer survi- vors as Dakota Whaley looks on. The butterflies came in a little package marked "love."When the package was opened, the butterflies flew free to represent a world free of cancer. FRAN V "Find something special in someone each day." Tell them, "I think you're wonderful." Island Montessori students sang these words to kick off the Venice Relay for Life. The words caught on, and it was fun hearing people tell each other, "I think you're wonderful." Relay teams worked for months raising money for cancer research and continued the process at the Relay, where 80 percent of all money raised for the American Cancer Society is used for research. The survivor's walk starts the Relay. This year, I walked with Judy Snyder, a member of Women's Sertoma. She coordinates the coloring contest for boys and girls at the Sun Fiesta. I help her with that. As we stood waiting to begin, Tom Mattmuller came up to me and said, "Can I walk with you, my friend?" I was shocked to see Tom in a purple shirt. We sat together at volleyball games. As we walked the track, people on the sidelines applauded and blew bubbles. We could feel the love. Our cheerlead- ers were our children, grandchildren, our health specialists, friends and neighbors. They are part of our treatment. At the end of the walk, Chrystal Caluzzi had a basket filled with triangular envelopes marked "Love" for each of us. When we opened the envelopes, we saw a beautiful butterfly that flew up into the wind. It was a lovely surprise. Watching the butter- flies I thought to myself, "This disease does not own us. We are free to live and celebrate each day." "I am amazed at the number of survivors," my daughter said. "That's a good thing," I replied. Thank you, Venice, for your gift of love. Happy Mother's Day Good wishes to the moms in town. Thanks for all you do. We love you. One of our best The special person of this week is Sue Lord. This nice lady chaired the Venice Relay for Life for several years helping it achieve the status of the number 5 fundraiser in Florida. This year, even after Sue received a cancer diagnosis, she contin- ued her work with the relay, inspiring everyone with her "We can do this" attitude. Sue led the committee and volunteers to a terrific relay marked by fun and financial success. Sue is a kind, loving person full of determination. Sue Lord makes Venice a great place to live.

E','C/'' May 8-14, 2013 mejolid Bring your chalk to Venice Saturday My daughter's favorite event in Cleveland is the annual Chalk Fest at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She always buys a square of sidewalk, but she begins planning her masterpiece at least six weeks in advance. Saturday, Venice Art Center, Venice MainStreet and the Venice Gondolier Sun are sponsoring the Chalk Art Festival in downtown Venice. The entry fee is $5 for children or adults, $10 for a team and $15 for professionals. The fee covers one sidewalk square on the walks that surround Centennial Park in downtown Venice. Bring your own chalk and idea. Squares will be judged, with prizes for the winners. Tomorrow is the last day to register. Check in Saturday near the kiosk in Centennial Park. The event begins at 8 a.m. and judging will take place at 11 a.m. Call the art center in Venice at 941-485-7136 for information. Friday night, there will be a live concert in Centennial Park. The concert begins at 7 p.m. and just might inspire some of the artwork for the next morning's event. "Second Samuel" continues through May 19 on the mainstage at Venice Theatre. Coming up May 17-26 is "How to Eat Like a Child." For tickets, call 941-488-1115. In Fort Myers, "Menopause the Musical" is delivering laughs at every performance. It continues through May 18 on the main stage at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. All that and hot fudge too on the ice cream table. Over in central Florida, construction continues at SeaWorld which will open Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin May 24. A companion app for iPhones, iPads and Android devices can be downloaded at: SeaWorldOrlando.com/Antarctica. Let's Go! Items from Hemingway's Cuba home go to JFK Library By BRETT ZONGKER A .. I I ,l l- I'l I A partnership between Cuba and a private U.S. foundation is working to preserve more of writer Ernest Heming- way's papers and belongings that he left at his home near Havana when he died. U.S. Rep. James McGovern of Massachu- setts and the Finca Vigia Foundation are scheduled to announce the digitization of 2,000 Hemingway papers and materials Monday. The digital copies will be trans- ferred to Boston's John F. Kennedy Library. This is the first time anyone in the U.S. has been able to examine these items from the famous writer's Cuban estate, Finca Vigia. They include passports showing Hemingway's travels and letters commenting on such works as "The Old Man and the Sea." The Kennedy Library holds a large Hemingway collection because Jacqueline Kennedy helped arrange a place for the items. Let's Go! Editor Happy Mother's Day! First, I'd like everyone to take notice of the Mother's Day word search on page 2. We like to do games that require reader inter- action, and you all participate so well that we decided for this we would give prizes to five winners, not just one. All you need to do is find all of the Mother's Day theme words in the word search, and bring or send in the entry. We will draw five winners from all of the word searches submitted to win a gift card to one of the sponsoring restaurants. Also for Mother's Day, we had readers send in why their mothers are the absolute best! Those entries are on pages 16 and 17. You'll notice in today's issue that I focused on some summer outdoor activities. Pages 9 through 11 are devoted to kayaking, boating, and stand-up paddleboarding. I actually had the pleasure of kayaking a few weeks ago out of Boca Grande. We left out of Grand Tours in Placida, right before the turn for the Boca Grande bridge. We did a four-hour trip all around Boca Grande, including through a mangrove tunnel. It was such a fun, relaxing day, I thought I'd feature some articles that may inspire you to get out and try some water activities now that summer is approaching. You'll also notice this week we have two bartenders for the bartender of the week feature. When I went to do the feature, there were two deserving bartenders working that night so I accommodated them both. I'd like to say a big thank you to the Olde World Restaurant as well. I had never been and the owners went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I will definitely be back, and if you are a fan of stuffed mushrooms, or just good food in general, I suggest you give them a try as well. Let's Go! will feature more on the Olde World Restaurant in the future. HIBISCUS FESTIVAL GILCHRIST PARK, FRIDAY-SUNDAY A MAY 17,18,19 / S.)

DE EBBIE FLE:nlJEE The (asey Key Fish House and Tiki Bar is located just west of the Blackburn Point Road swing bridge in Osprey. By DEBBIE FLESSNER SUN CORRESPONDENT The building that houses the Casey Key Fish House and Tiki Bar has been in the same location, between the swing bridge and Casey Key, since the'50s. But it was after Jimmy Von Hubertz bought it in 1999, that it became the beloved gathering spot for both tourists and locals that it is today. Sitting right on Dryman Bay, the restaurant is a comfortable, friendly place where you can not only order a tropical drink or beer, but can also dine on some high-quality food. Plus, ifs easily accessible by land and by water. "It's one of the few places where you can come in on your boat,"said Von Hubertz. "It's also one of the last casual'Old-Florida'places with gourmet food." Von Hubertz said that after he acquired the building, which he bought because of its outstanding location, he began renovating it and retooling the menu. Eventually, he decided that he would keep on offering the casual, beachy types of food like grouper sandwiches, battered shrimp, burgers and hot dogs. But he began adding even more menu choices. "Most people come here for our signature dishes, like our almond-crusted snapper and pan-seared tuna,"Von Hubertz said. "We serve a lot of pan-seared fish, and people rave about the bouillabaisse." Most of Von Hubertz's kitchen staff has been with him for seven to 10 years, and that includes his head chef Willie. Willie is originally from Thailand, and his unique cooking style, which is an Asian-American fusion, is what gives the Casey Key Fish House its singular culinary style. "All of our sauces and toppings are fresh and made from scratch, and that includes our tropical fruit salsa,"Von Hubertz sad. "And of course, we have our fresh fish." With a location like the restaurant has, they could theoretically throw a line off the outside dining deck and catch your lunch. Across the parking lot is the famous tiki bar, built in 2008 and nicknamed "Skeeterville"for a longtime and well-loved bartender there. The bar itself is large and situated right next to the water, with colorful Adirondack chairs next to it lining the adjacent beach. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you can sit there and enjoy live soft rock and island music while you sip your tropical beverages and beer. If you'd like to rent a room or hold an event at the restaurant, Von Hubertz says that he has plenty of space and one thing is for sure, you can't beat the view. "We can accommodate 75 to 100 people for private parties, either open-air or covered seating,"he said."I don't charge for the space, I just charge you for the food." The Casey Key Fish House and Tiki Bar is at 801 Blackburn Point Road in Osprey, at Marker 32, if you're arriving by boat. It's open from 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m., seven days a week.

May 8-14, 2013 E/N/C/V DINING OUT GO _____________________________________________ I'll'''' By CHRIS KOURAPIS SUN CORRESPONDENT You don't have to travel to Key West to enjoy a quick and tasty lunch. Englewood's Key West Subs, located in Tiffany Square Plaza, offers just about any combination of grilled, cold or hot subs, wraps, homemade chili, salads and salad dressings. Desserts are limited to either chocolate brownies or cannolis with homemade chocolate or vanilla filling, but the cannolis are extra special and made with love by Michaela Cerce, whose Dad owns Key West Subs. Key West Subs has been family owned and operated in Englewood since 2007. Michael and Debbie Cerce operated a breakfast/lunch business in Boston prior to relocating to Florida. Debbie, a self-taught artist, decided that their new business should have a Florida theme, tropical decor and a Florida name Key West Subs. She also knew that customers would enjoy viewing her colorful, vibrant paintings of Florida scenes as they waited for their orders. "Most of our customers are locals who have been coming here for years, but we do have some snowbirds, explained daughter Michaela, a recent USF graduate. "A few weeks ago, after people started heading north for the summer, we hired Robie Jarvi, a sign waver. Business couldn't be better," Debbie said. It seems that drivers who didn't know about Key West Subs responded favorably to the guy dancing around and waving a sign. People heading for the beach or with their boats often stop by Key West Subs where they know they will find a quick and satisfying lunch to go, and ice for coolers for only $2. The most popular items are the stuffed turkey and the Key Largo cold subs. A stuffed turkey sub is a Thanksgiving meal in itself oven roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayonnaise. The Key Largo is a combination of roasted turkey, lettuce, tomato, and Key Largo Sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, balsamic vinegar and bacon bits). Chicken Caesar and Greek salad wraps travel well, of course, and tossed Greek, Caesar, and chef salads are also popular for those wishing to skip the bread. Separate containers of assorted homemade dressings are available, too, along with canned or bottled soda and bags of potato chips. Any sub can be pressed, and it's impor- tant to note the Key West subs are 8" and 12"' not 6"and 12" Grilled steak, pastrami, and cheeseburger sandwiches with mushrooms, onions and peppers can be ordered as well, but it's a good idea to call ahead at 941-474-4524 for large orders. For those planning a home or school party, platters serving 12-15 people cost only $39.99. Homie Bullock, who has worked at Key West SUBS for over three years, is an expert grillmaster specializing in pressed Cuban sandwiches and pressed Buffalo chicken and cheese subs. A complete menu can be downloaded at the Key West Subs website: www.keywest-subs.com. They're located at 2828 S. McCall Road, Unit 34, in Englewood, and are open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday. VENICE'S WATERFRONT LANDMARK SINCE 1976.

Mark owned a tree and landscape business, and Heather taught third grade. After an exceptionally cold and windy winter, they decided to leave Chicago permanently. But they needed jobs. "Find me something to do in Punta Gorda," Mark said to his wife. And she found a business where they could both work and live in the area they love. The couple bought Holidaze Boat Rentals, at the marina in Fishermen's Village in Punta Gorda in November 2012. Indeed, it's a perfect business because they are very knowledgeable, and have always owned a boat. The friendly couple describes Southwest Florida waters as a boating and fishing paradise, and certainly one of the most interesting. If you want to enjoy a relaxing day on the water, on a secluded beach, or fish in one of the most prominent fishing destinations in the United States, Holidaze has one rental location that will provide just the right boat for you. The Holidaze rental fleet features 10 late- model boats between 17 feet and 31 feet in length, and covers all of your cruising and UPCOMING HOLIDAY CRUISES Memorial Day, Father'\ Day and July 4th Dinner Cruise HARBOR CRUISE 11 AM to 2 I'M P ,.-i _ s27roI FRANKLIN LOCK LUNCHEON CRUISE GULF OF MEXICO LUNCHEON CRUISE fishing needs. Center consoles, pontoons, tritoons, party barge, deck boats, single and double kayaks, and standup paddle- boards are available. Holidaze's location offers easy access to the Barrier Islands with their secluded beaches, state parks, dockside restaurants, and attrac- tions (most of them are accessible by boat only), the Peace and Myaka Rivers, Intra- coastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico. If you are unfamiliar with the waters in Southwest Florida, Holidaze will give you thorough instructions about the boat and the waters. Also provided are appropriate charts for self-guided tours to your destina- tion, a detailed description of your trip with illustrations, and tips and edited photos. "I like meeting the people, and since our home is close by, I can walk to work in my flip-flops," Heather said. "The only downside is our daughter and son-in-law in Chicago are expecting their first baby. But the airplanes fly all the time." Holidaze will deliver boats anywhere in Charlotte Harbor. There is a two-hour minimum on all boat rentals, and tax and fuel cost extra. Ask about the multi-day discount. Business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

Explore 29 acres of unspoiled Florida your way. Walk the trails or paddle your canoe or kayak along its scenic and mean- dering waters. There also is a boat ramp. This time of year, consider that you might see some alligators swimming along close to where you are kayaking. Paddle accordingly. Last Tuesday there were some gators that appeared to be about 3 feet long. Although it is mating season from now through June or so, the gators were minding their own business. More abundant were birds that occa- sionally flew over the kayaks. Others were in the trees bordering Shell Creek. A few butterflies fluttered near some flowers along the shore. I was there with a group of travel writers from Quebec, Ontario, Ohio and California. About half of us had kayaked previously. Our guide was Christopher J. Warren of Phoenix Rising Kayak Tours LLC of Rotunda West. He supplied the kayaks for our morning adventure. He also helped everyone adjust the foot rests and carry the kayaks down the slope into the water. Before leading the group on an exploration of Shell Creek by kayak, he gave everyone a lesson in paddling and turning. Warren's company also offers kayak tours of Char- lotte Harbor, in several places along the Peace River, plus Mangrove Point, Prairie Creek and Shell Creek in Punta Gorda. For information, call 941-586-2836 or visit: PRKayak.com. For those who choose not to kayak, the park has a meandering path that offers similar scenery. There also are two covered pavilions for picnickers and free parking in that part of the park. From the water, which is fresh and not brackish, you might catch a glimpse of a house or two but basically, this is old Florida at its best especially the peaceful part of old Florida. After the morning's adventure, which included a few drops of rain, the group headed to Fishermen's Village for lunch at the Village Fish Market, which is owned by Nick and Sue Randall, who emigrated from England to purchase the restaurant some 10 years ago. The restaurant offers two menus one is gluten-free. I ordered a lobster salad roll. It was as good as any I ever enjoyed in Maine. The restaurant also has an extensive list of non-seafood choices, including steaks, burgers and all- beef hot dogs plus homemade apple sauce. Hathaway Park is at 35461 Washington Loop Road in Punta Gorda. Coming from Route 17, watch for two entrances to the park. The first one has restrooms and a boat ramp and parking fee. That area of the park also has horse trails.

Let's Go! EllC,'.' May 8-14, 2013 GO THINGS TO DO By CHRIS KOURAPIS SUN CORRESPONDENT Certified SUP (Stand-up Paddle- boarding) instructor Paige Bakhaus is hooked on paddle sports. She provides paddlers of all ages with lessons, equip- ment and excursions at her Placida Road business, Hooked on SUP. "If you can swim, you can learn to paddleboard," Bakhaus declares. "You don't necessarily have to stand up all the time. It's okay to kneel, sit, or even lay down on the board." For "yakkers"who love kayaking, she also provides Kayak rentals, lessons and Eco Tours. SUP is one of the fastest growing water sports on the planet. It's actually an ancient sport that began in Tahiti and Hawaii. World famous surfer Laird Hamilton brought the sport to California, where it gained popularity in 2001-2002. People jokingly" blame it on Laird," according to Bakhaus, whose business has grown considerably since she began renting space at Cape Haze Marina a year ago. "SUP is all about fun, and it's completely safe." Youngsters 12 and under are required to wear life jackets, but adults are free to decide whether to don a life jacket or not. All are provided with "land-based lessons on water safety,"whistles and leashes to secure them to their boards. Individuals or small groups of paddlers are always accompanied by a certified guide. What Bakhaus loves most about the Cape Haze waterway is that the tide enables water to be exchanged and refreshed on a daily basis, and paddlers are treated to dolphin/ manatee sightings and breath-taking views. One and a half hour SUP and kayak lessons are available that include all necessary equipment, and paddlers may choose two-hour, four- hour, or full-day rentals. A complete list of lessons, Eco Tours, and rental costs can be found by visiting www.hookedonsup.com. Experienced paddlers are invited to weekly events including: "Funky Full Moon Paddles" or SUP YOW (Yoga on Water) that takes place 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday and Saturday. In the summer paddlers can expect additional fun events and local discounts, announced Bakhaus, who has hosted a Halloween Zombie event and a holiday paddle where people dressed up in all sorts of crazy LED jewelry and glow-in-the dark costumes. She also offers custom guided all-day excursions to Don Pedro State Park and other scenic areas where guests can enjoy a picnic lunch. "When customers return" she added, "they have full use of the swimming pool, showers, and changing rooms at the gorgeous Cape Haze Marina. It's really a mini vacation for area resi- dents." If paddlers become "hooked" and want to buy their own equipment, Bakhaus offers a wide assortment of YOLO paddle boards, Crescent Kayaks, and accessories for sale. If you forget sunscreen, she has that too. Free YOLO Board Demo Days are available every Saturday from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. Anyone interested in participating in a weekly "international cleanup" can meet Paige Bakhaus and paddle free from 9 a.m. -10 a.m. every Saturday. A second hour costs $10. Cape Haze Marina is located at 6950 Placida Road, Englewood. Call Hooked on SUP at 941-504-1699. Paddlers who rent at Hooked on SUP may use the gorgeous facilities at the Cape Haze Marina after their lessons or excursions.

PHOTO PROVIDED EVENTS THIS WEEK G O Willie's 60th birthday bash If you've ever wished you could celebrate your birthday at your very own bar, you probably wish you were Willie Nolan. Nolan owns a popular bar in Port Char- lotte, called Willie's, and for his landmark 60th birthday this month, he plans to bring in a big crowd to his place to help him celebrate. "I'm having a big party at the bar on May 11,"he said."Willie's is a neighborhood bar it's loud, there's smoking and the drinks are cheap." This certainly won't be the first party Nolan has thrown at his bar. He said he's always looking for a reason to have a party, especially around certain holidays. But since he can only turn 60 one time, Nolan and Julie Drake are planning a celebration befitting an event of this magnitude. "We have our DJ coming in early and DJing all afternoon and night,"Nolan said. "Then we'll be doing a casino from 2 p.m. to exchanges hands. It's free to play, and players are each given a thousand "dollars" in chips, which they -- can use at the bar.

"For 10 days, from sunup to sundown, I fed Port Charlotte,"he said."l had a grill and charcoal here and I cooked. Everyone who came by brought a bag of ice, so I could keep the beer cold." Though Nolan is not physically in the bar as much as he used to be, he said he's at a great place in his life, traveling around the world with Drake and his grandchildren, and enjoying his time with those loved ones. But that doesn't mean he won't be ready to blow it out on his big day, with his friends and family all around him. "At every party, I dance on the bar and I usually drag some of my customers up there with me,"'he said. "That bar was built before I bought the place, and it's very strong." Added Drake, "My brother says that the party's not over until Billy dances on the bar."

The event is to raise funds to support the Charlotte County Home- less Coalition and AMIKids Crossroads, Inc. The event will feature Zydeco (a blend of Cajun, blues, and rhythm and blues music) by 'The Gumbo Boogie Band,' an authentic Cajun-styled menu, silent auction, and more. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to have an enjoyable evening while supporting two worthy causes. Dress is casual-nice, however, Mardi Gras attire is encouraged and appreciated. Tickets are $70 each, and may be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce offices, online at www. CharlotteCountyChamber.org, or leadershipcharlotte2013e',gmail.com. The Leadership Charlotte of 2013 is comprised of 24 community leaders from varied backgrounds. The leaders are chosen from applications submitted to the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce. The group meets once a month to visit area businesses that include health care day, justice day, education day, arts and tourism day, local economy day and government day. Each Leader- ship Charlotte 2013 member submitted an idea for a theme for a year-end fundraiser. After submission of ideas, Mardi Gras in May was chosen. Since 1989, the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition has been assisting individuals and families in need of food and shelter. AMIKids Crossroads is a 24-bed facility that houses boys that are unable to be placed in foster care mostly due to their ages. Event chairperson, Jill Ferguson, encourages the community to attend this fun event, and at the same time, help those less fortunate.

That's because the walkways will be filled with colorful pieces of art for the Venice Chalk Art Festival. The concept is fairly simple blocks of sidewalk are marked off and artists of all ages and skill levels buy a square and create their art in chalk. "It's a community-based event that we hold at the same time as the Farmer's Market,"said Mary Morris, executive director of the Venice Art Center. "This is a great joint effort between us and Venice Main Street." Participants who plan on creating art on a sidewalk square will be divided into one of four categories: youth, group, adult novice or professional. Morris says that the "group" category could be a family, a couple, really any type of group, but they all must draw within the same square. All artists need to bring their own chalk, and if they are registered in advance, a square will already be marked out just for them. Then it's up to them to draw what- ever they like. Last year, there were 45 artistic squares drawn at the Venice Chalk Art Festival. Morris said that the festival's move to Centennial Park from Miami Avenue was made because of the need for even more space. "We outgrew that area, plus we wanted to be near the Farmers Market,"' Morris said. "Centennial Park gives us room to accommodate more. People will be able to just walk up that day and register, if there is space available." You don't have to be a professional, or even an especially talented artist to come draw in the festival. It's open to people who want to compete, but also to people who just want to explore and express themselves artistically in this particular medium. "We are still looking for artists to participate" Morris said. "You can give us a call and pay a small fee to enter. It's $5 for youth and adult/novice, $10 for groups and $15 for professionals." One of the most wonderful things about a chalk festival is that the colorful works of art are meant to be enjoyed for a couple of days and then to disappear. Mother Nature and her storm clouds dictate how long the art is to be admired. Whether you attend the festival as an artist or an art lover, Morris said you will be astounded at the quality of the artists in our area, who work both in chalk and other mediums as well. "We have a huge amount of talent here;'," she said. "Venice is just one of those places where people love to come and paint, even if they've never painted before. It's amazing how many people get inspired here." r -1o% off " IE I Sour pottery purchase Sale Items Excluded Coupon must be presentetdat t-eeofsale.

That is why she is such a great mom to my brother and me. Pushing herself to be the mother she deserved, she's always shown us such great love and raised us to be respectful and guide us to be the best we could be. I'm due in May with my first child. I know he will have the BEST grandma a boy could ask for. Submith-l by So7ol Goodit'#i IaVa S4a6e"t Elizabeth (Teddy) Reynolds is the mother of six, grandmother of 12 and great- grandmother of six. At age 17, she was married with one son, to be followed by three more sons and two daughters. She was widowed at age 35, with her oldest son just graduating high school. Times were tough, but the family pulled together to survive. Although living in rural Virginia, the Reynolds house was THE place for the children and all their friends to gather. With two sons in a band, the house was always full of music, love and laughter. She grew up with her children. Now, at age 79, Teddy laughs that she has two sons on social security. Her philosophy of life is to live in the now and find something positive in everything, or you have wasted a day. Considering her beautiful family, positive attitude, infec- tious laugh and sparkling personality, this Mother deserves honor, not only on Mother's Day, but every day.

The older I get, the more I realize how blessed I am to have the mother I have in my life. I now see all of the sacrifices she made, and all of the love she has shown me throughout my life. She made sure I knew that I could do anything I wanted if I put my mind to it. She always put her kids first, and always made sure I never went without. I am truly blessed to call her my mother and my best friend. Happy Mother's Day, Mom! Submitted by Casey Ortlieb Sm "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom let it be, let it be."- John Lennon. My mother was a lace curtain lady, but she recognized and nurtured diversity among her children. She was proud of our work and happy for us. When she died in August of 2002,1 I wrote these words. "Mom taught us many things. She taught us to walk straight with our head held high; to guard our health and keep up our appearances. She allowed us to be true individuals. She tolerated our differences, while remaining true to her own beliefs and convictions. She taught us to sing and appreciate music and art; to dance and ride a bicycle. She taught us to read. She taught us to pray and give up control to a higher power; but that never meant not working hard to achieve goals and solve problems. Most importantly, she taught us to love ourselves and each other and to express that love." Thanks, Mom. Happy Mother's Day! Submitted by Monica Dorken 27 holes of serenity...

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 i f ti l-l _11%11 63'7 6101 normaton or tee tme ca . Let's Go!

May 8-14, 2013 E/N/C/V THE ARTS GO By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Newly open on the main stage at Venice Theatre is"Second Samuel,"by Pamela Parker. Nominated fora Pulitzer Prize, this comedy is likely to be all the funnier and poignant - with Allan Kollar in the cast and direction by Venice Theatre's artistic director Murray Chase. Kollar and Chase earned guffaws and more for each appearance in any of the "Greater Tuna" plays produced at the theater in recent years. Although those plays are set in Greater Tuna, Texas, there could be some similarity, if less silliness, to the fictional Georgia town, Second Samuel, which is mourning the loss of its beloved matriarch, Miss Gertrude. "I'm excited to be working with a group of experienced actors, most of whom I've worked with before;'Chase said."All I have to do is get out of their way and let them have fun with the script." The seven men in the post WWII-era play include Kollar as Mansel, Carroll Hunter as U.S., Mike Gilbert as Frisky, Jim Lovett as Doc, Doug Snure as Mr. Mozell and Neil Kasanofsky as June, with Hunter Cross as B-Flat,a character who might be considered "slower" than the others. They hang out at the local bar while the women tend to gather at the local beauty parlor. The women include: Lori Chase as Omaha Nebraska, Nancy Denton as Marcela, Kim Kollar (Allan's wife) as Jimmy Deanne and Arianna DeCecco as Ruby.

Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey-whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players.

E/N/C/V May 8-14, 2013 Hm PROVIDED BY VISANI COMEDY DINNER THEATER Southwest Florida's hottest Doo Wop Group, The Goldtones, will be performing at Visani on May 14. The Goldtones have four very accomplished performers. By day, Dr. Ken Feder draws on more than 30 years of experience as a practicing chiropractor to help his patients along the road to health. By night, he serves as second tenor for the popular doo wop group,"The Goldtones." For Ken, this after-hours involvement is both the continuation of a lifelong love of music, and a personal relief of his daily stress. Born in the Bronx, Ken started his singing career with a group named "The Corduroys." known as Dr. Shoo Bop, Ken continued his professional career still maintaining the spark for the music entertainment field. As Dr. Shoo Bop, Ken became part of a quartet in Atlanta known as the"Reflections." For many years they continued to perform throughout the Atlanta area. After moving to Florida with his wife Pat, Dr. Feder opened his practice in Punta Gorda, and maintains that practice today. Ken formed the group"The Goldtones"after finding other like-minded singers with a love for the oldies. Johnny G. has been performing profes- sionally since 1958 at the ripe age of 12. His first band, the "Velveteens"started working at high school dances and was soon hired to perform at weddings, private banquets and concerts. John recorded his first record at age 13 in 1959, followed by two albums by the age of 16, and has been recording ever since. This led to his signing a personal management and production contract with Jata Enterprises ("Jay and the Americans"), and was signed as a recording artist with United Artists Records in 1969. PHOTO PROVIDED John has worked closely with many famous performers such as Walter Becker and Donald Fagan (Steely Dan), The Brooklyn Bridge, the Coasters, the Dovels, Academy Award-winning songwriter Frankie Previtte (Dirty Dancing) and many more. Ed started singing professionally at 18 with the original five man group"The Orkells"in New Haven, Conn. At that time, New Haven was a hotbed of successful groups like the Five Satins, The Nutmegs, The Academics, The Premiers and more. Ed later teamed up with a friend to write and produce music for themselves as a duo, and other regional artists. Ed had several songs published/recorded and registered with Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) in NewYork City. Their music arrangerwas Joe Rene who wrote many R&B songs, including "Tossin'& Turnin,'"sung by Bobby Lewis. John Reinoehl (J.R.) started his own musical group in 1960 at high school. J.R. went into the service in 1963. While in the service stationed in California he was guitarist/vocalist for a group which included other members from around the country. The group was asked many times to provide in-studio music tracks for a number of local performers, of which one reached the top 10 locally on the West Coast in 1965. Here is your chance to come out and enjoy your favorite doo wop and oldies tunes. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes, because the dance floor will be open. Visani DinnerTheater has a special complete dinner package for this special night.

Together with Craig Holder, bass guitarist, Ricci utilized his satirical ingenuity to create the band's name. They claim,"Zombie University was founded by the unfortu- nate Zombie Apocalypse of December 21, 2012. The Mayans were right about the cataclysmic events of that date, except they got the 'it will affect the whole world' part wrong. In fact, it only affected local Punta Gorda residents Bobby Ricci and Craig Holder. Although it was a lackluster apoca- lypse, all was not lost because it opened a window of opportunity for the musicians to find new life in their deaths." Indeed, the 'zombies' have found their niche performing fora huge fan base. Appropriate to the band's motto, "We're coming to rock your brains/audiences rock 'n'roll to the band's unique musical and vocal talent. Its vast repertoire of songs are by artists such as The Eagles, The Beastie Boys, Santana, Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, Billy Joel, Queen, Adele and many more. Ricci, lead guitarist and one of the four vocalists, recently added Jonathan Cox as the band's drummer. Cox has been playing drums for 10 years, and is pursuing a bach- elor's degree in Criminal Justice. He moved from Maine to this area in 2006 with his family"for a fresh start in a warm state." Holder, owner of Security and Automation Company in Punta Gorda, has been playing bass guitar and six-string guitar since age 16. Father of three teenage boys, he claims he studied at'Zombie University.' Multitalented Francesco Maceri, began his musical journey on violin at age 8. Those efforts translated into piano and guitar, and eventually into songwriting and singing. Maceri is currently completing a college degree, and producing original material for a full-length debut album."What I like best about our band is the synergy; we feed off each other," Maceri said. Originally from Queens, N.Y., Lina Rodri- guez began performing at age 5, studying tap, jazz and ballet dance. She relocated to Florida with her family at age 12, and has been singing for 15 years. Lina has performed in musical theaters, and with the Blues Brothers Revue at Disney World. In 2010, she released her first original song, "It's On (Tonight)."She is a State of Florida Notary, has a college degree in legal studies, and is the devoted mother of a 5-year-old daughter. Adding to the mix of the five talented musicians and singers is vocalist, Schae Rodriguez, Lina's sister. Schae has been singing since age 11 in choirs and talent shows. Although she loves Zombie Univer- sity, she intends to attend college in the near future. The band performs on Thursdays at Dean's South of the Border, Punta Gorda, and also, gigs at Harpoon Harry's and Emil's in Punta Gorda, Porky's Roadhouse in Port Charlotte, Lock'n Key and Elks Lodge in Englewood and Bond Restaurant and Lounge in Naples.

Top of Billboard Chart on May 8 '60s 1964 -"Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles 1968 "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro '70s 1974 "The Loco-Motion" by Grand Funk Railroad 1979 --"Reunited" by Peaches & Herb '80s 1982 "Chariots of Fire Titles" by Vangelis 1987 "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" by Cutting Crew Sweet Inspirations If you've ever wondered how some song ideas came about, here are some samples: "Night Moves"(Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, 1977). It's about Seger's high school days in Ann Arbor, Mich., also inspired by the movie American Graffiti... "(Sittin'On) the Dock of the Bay"(Otis Redding, 1968). On a warm summer morning, Redding was "just wastin'time"from a rented houseboat on San Francisco Bay... "Take Me Home, Country Roads"(John Denver, 1971). The song was not really supposed to be about West Virginia nor did Denver write it. Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert co-wrote it, motivated by a drive through Maryland. "Our House" (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, 1970). Graham Nash wrote this song in reference to a small house in Laurel Canyon that he shared with Joni Mitchell... "Whip It"(Devo, 1980). They claim that it's about people pulling together and whipping a problem.. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (The Tokens, 1961). The story traces back to a'30s African doo-wop song, evolving into a '50s folk song called "Wimoweh" by the Weavers, then finally a hit pop song by the Tokens, a New York City doo wop group.. "Year of the Cat" (Al Stewart, 1977). The title is from Vietnamese astrology but there's little connection with the colorful lyrics... "You're So Vain"(Carly Simon, 1972). This celebrity gossip song is about several men in Carly Simon's life, but according to her producer, it's mainly about actor Warren Beatty. Last week, this musical trivia question was asked: Which classic Bob Dylan song begins with the lyrics"Come gather'round people wherever you roam?" Answer: The Times They Are A-Changin' The first reader to answer correctly was Will Johnson of Punta Gorda. This Week's Question: In the well-known song "American Pie," what did Don McLean call February 3rd, 1959?

NORTH AAQ 10643 ) 9874 0942 46 Void WEST 672 , Q62 0K J 1053 SQ53 SOUTH AK EAST 6J985 VK5 0AQ876 A 104 ) A J 10 3 0 Void 4 AK J 9 8 762 The bidding: SOUTH WEST 146 Pass 2V Pass 6C Pass NORTH 14 4P) Pass EAST Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: Jack of 0 Aggressive bidding tends to reap rich rewards if you have the skill, and luck, to bring home your ambitious contracts. Consider this deal. Hands with a long club suit or, to a certain extent, a long diamond suit, are awkward to handle if you play that an opening bid of two clubs is artificial and forcing. Too much bidding space has to be consumed to describe these holdings accurately and the strong hand may become the declarer, making the defense considerably easier. Hence South elected to open one club and rebid two hearts over North's one spade response. When North jumped to four hearts, South pressed on to slam, since he expected to find at least one heart honor card in partner's hand. To say the slam had no play would be a slight stretch, as declarer demonstrated. The opening diamond lead was ruffed in the closed hand, dummy was entered with a club ruff and a low trump was led to the ten and queen. West defended as well as possible by forcing declare again with a diamond, and now the gods smiled on South. The ace of hearts was cashed and not only did it fetch the king, but it was West who held the outstanding trump! Declarer simply ran winning clubs. West could ruff at any time, but declarer would overruff, return to hand with the king of spades, and the good clubs would score the rest of the tricks.

ROACH: I am 55 years old, take no medication and am in good health. However, I'm about 25 pounds overweight. Starting four months ago, I eliminated most carbohydrates from my diet no pasta, potatoes, rice, flour, bread or sweets. I have always eaten many vegetables and fish, but have in- creased my vegetable, fish and cheese intake to make up for the lack of those other foods. And I have successfully lost nine pounds without really trying. My friend, upon hearing that I eliminated those carbohydrates, was horrified, stating that this is very bad for my health. I explained that I have not increased my red meat consumption, but she's adamant. Can you com- ment? Thank you. EH. ANSWER: There remains a great deal of controversy about the topic of low-fat diets versus low-carbohydrate diets. There is evidence on both sides. But what you are doing isn't too controversial and it's almost all good. Pasta, potatoes, rice, flour and bread are all starches, a type of complex car- bohydrate, and are all turned into sugar in your bloodstream. Sweets are directly absorbed as sugar. For many people, that increases risk of diabetes as well as predisposing them toward weight gain. Perhaps most importantly, those calories aren't as filling as calories from protein, fiber or fat. Taking in more veg- etables and fish is also a great idea. Although vegetables are essentially 100 percent carbo- hydrates, they aren't changed to sugar nearly as quickly as the starches. Having a little protein or healthy fat, such as olive oil or nuts, also slows down absorption and conversion to blood sugar. Whole grains have more fiber, which slows down their absorption and provides more micro- nutrients than bleached versions of the starches. Your fish is providing protein and essential fatty acids. The only concern is cheese, much of which is saturated fat, and that isn't so good for you, so go easy on it. But the fact that you have lost nine pounds easily, and made dramatic improvements in your diet, means I can Dr. Roach Readers may write Dr Roach at PO. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-64 75 safely reassure your horri- fied friend. HELLO, DR. ROACH: I have not seen this par- ticular concern of mine addressed by any of the doctors' columns. Perhaps you can find an answer for me, which will be very much appreciated. My question is whether Coumadin (warfarin) is a lifetime drug. I had triple bypass heart surgery in 1997. I contracted atrial fibrillation about five years thereafter, when I was put on warfarin. For the past 10 years, I have had a regular heartbeat. This being the case, is it possible for me to discon- tinue this drug? T.P ANSWER: Atrial fibrilla- tion is a chaotic, uncoor- dinated movement of the atria, the top chambers of the heart. It puts people at high risk for stroke, but the anticoagulant warfarin reduces the risk of stroke. Some people are in atrial fibrillation all the time; others go in and out of it, which we call paroxysmal atrial fibril- lation. Some people can feel when they go into the abnormal rhythm; others can't. People with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation still need anticoagulation. Your doctor may want to be sure you aren't going in and out of atrial fibril- lation without knowing it before considering taking you off warfarin. This usually is proven by wearing a Holter monitor, which measures your heart rhythm for 24 or 48 hours. Talk to your doctor. It's worth doing, because warfarin has the possibility of significant side effects, and it would be great to remove those risks if you no longer need the medication. Dr Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individ- ual letters, but will incor- porate them in the column whenever possible.

I know it's important to get both, but they seem the same to me. Zach K. in Florida What a great question! The answer is that they are and they aren't! Dietary fiber and roughage are pretty much the same thing. But there are two different types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is jellylike and dissolves in water. The flesh of fruits and veg- etables (no skin) is soluble, as are oats and beans. Insoluble fiber is "rough- age." It's what keeps your digestive system moving. It's found in the skin of fruits and vegetables, and in whole wheat and nuts. Both types of fiber are important to your good health. Fiber can help lower cholesterol, and it aids in digestion. An apple a day (skin and all) really can keep the doctor away! But don't go overboard all at once. Add a little more fiber to your diet slowly, and your body will thank you. Also, read labels, and you will be able to see how much fiber is in a serving. - Heloise No drips Dear Heloise: I have a cake recipe that I make to bring to a lot of func- tions that has a glaze-type frosting that you pour over the top.

GONG OW M-I Hints from Heloise platter. I end up having to try to clean it up before serving. After I cut out wax paper to line the cake pans, I save the outer scraps. I put them down around the cake and on the platter. When done glazing and the glaze has finished dripping down, I just remove the wax paper and throw it away. The platter stays clean and without drips! Nicole G. in Washington Baking hint Dear Heloise: I bake just about every day. My favorite things to bake are pies and cookies. Most of them are rolled out. I buy about a yard of cheap muslin and cut four pieces to use for roll- ing out these goodies. It sure saves a lot of money instead of buying a spe- cial cloth for rolling. Once it gets a little bit soiled, I just throw it away and go to the next piece. I store the cloth I am working with in a plastic storage bag and keep it on a shelf in the pantry.

In his hand he held an envelope on which I had written your name and address. When I told him it was a request for a copy of your cookbooklet not a request for marriage counseling he was relieved. We have been "cooking up" a wonderful life together for 10 years. Somehow I managed to misplace your cook- booklet. I have read that there is now a set of two of them. Would you please give me the ordering in- structions? Thanks, Abby! -JEAN IN RICHLAND, WASH. DEAR JEAN: I get a lot of letters like yours and I'm glad to oblige. Once you start looking at "Cookbooklet II" you will see that a sweet tooth runs in my family.

My booklets are sold as a set and can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby - Cookbooklet Set, PO. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Remember, "an apple a day keeps the doc- tor away," and this recipe requires five or six of them. (Think of the fiber!) My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes for soups, salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts that can be used when friends and families get together to celebrate holidays and special occasions. I have been told by some readers that they have been used as the ba- sis for Dear Abby-themed dinner parties. (The place Dear Abby cards were decorated with hearts and flowers, and the centerpiece was a "bouquet" of envelopes addressed to me.) P.S. Your husband sounds like a sweetheart. My mother once said the secret to a lasting marriage is a husband who lasts, so feed him well and he will. DEAR ABBY: I work in a skilled-care facility. I am also preparing for law school. Today one of my co-workers humiliated me in the presence of others by asking if I have been gaining weight. I giggled and said, "Probably." She proceeded to say that I have gained "a lot" of weight in my "fat face" and told me to get on the scale so she could see how much. I told her it's none of her business. She has done this to me and other co-workers before. Our supervisor likes her and doesn't rep- rimand her. How should I handle this? GETTING IMPATIENT IN ILLINOIS DEAR GETTING IMPATIENT: Handle it by ignoring this unpleasant person and avoiding her whenever possible. So should any other co- worker she has offended. Any time she attempts to embarrass any of you, it should be reported to your supervisor's supervisor - individually or en masse - because the failure to act on your concerns is allowing a hostile work environment to exist. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or PO. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and plea- sures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward men appeared."-- Titus 3:3-4. The love of God can make such a difference. Replace the bitterness of your heart with peace of mind. Give your life to Jesus.
