A hacker comman- deered Venice High football coach John Peacock's Facebook account last Saturday and posted a status an- nouncing "his" resigna- tion and criticizing the school's administration. SUN PHOTO BYJUSTIN FENNELL Venice High football coach John Peacock talks to an offi- cial during his team's game against Largo Oct. 18. The message was taken down once Peacock realized what had happened, and the coach said he didn't know how his account was hacked. Sarasota County Schools Director of Communications and Community Relations Gary Leatherman said aside from using fire- walls to prevent teachers from accessing social media sites with district technology during school hours, the school district is minimally involved in instances like this. "We do provide staff with information about the potential downside of being involved in so- cial media," Leatherman said. "But since most staff Facebook accounts are private, we have very little direct control over FACEBOOK 111 SUN PHOTO BY GREG GILES Wildlife expert Jack Hanna signs an autograph Wednesday.

Not that Brady the poodle goes outside very often, with or without his lead, other than to "do his numbers," she said. But late one night last week was one of those times. When she went to let him in, he wasn't at the door of their South Harbor Drive home. She went out bare- foot, in her nightgown, flashlight in hand, to try to find him. Husband Bill got in the car and searched the adjacent streets on the island. No luck. Worry turned to panic. "I started thinking about all the coyotes and all that stuff that's out there that could prey on a little dog," Anne said. So she decided to call 911. The operator said she'd refer it to the Venice Police Department, but couldn't promise help would be coming. It did, though, in the NEWS EDITOR "Jungle" Jack Hanna, television star of Wild Countdown and Into the Wild, is in Venice for a quiet holiday. Hanna, who has a condominium in Venice, wasn't taking it easy, however. The high energy wildlife expert was the star attraction on Wednesday in downtown Venice at Barclay's Pharmacy where a commercial for a pet -FF .....- -.-6- filmed. Hanna was endorsing Cosequin, a joint sup- plement that supports cartilage production, developed by Nutramax Laboratories. Hanna's endorsements are fea- tured prominently on the company's website. The commercial will air nationally in 15- and 30-second segments, beginning early next year, said MelissaWeiss, TV STAR 111 Up to 650 homes possible for land SUN PHOTO BY BOB MUDGE Bill and Anne Coyle with their blind and deaf poodle, Brady, returned to them by two Venice POODLE 111 Police officers after he wandered away from home. By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR The Venice Planning Commission this week approved a big box development, retail and up to 650 homes on 51 acres of vacant land in NorthVenice. Owners of the former Renaissance property on the northeast corner of Laurel Road and Knights Trail Road sought the rezone approval for the mixed-use project. While supportive, the commission, ended up holding one of its longest and most contentious meetings of the year. The issue: whether to grant 11 additional land Port Charlotte High grad makes FBI's By GARY ROBERTS STAFF WRITER A Port Charlotte High School graduate has been placed on the FBI most wanted list. Edly Albert Atherley II is being sought in connec- tion with the violent death of his wife at their home in San Bernardino, Calif Authorities suspect Atherley, 29, of killing Ashley Atherley, 28, who was found with her throat slashed Dec. 1. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for infor- mation leading to Edly's arrest. The FBI bulletin also warns that Edly, whom the bulletin calls "a convicted felon," should be consid- ered armed and dangerous, and possibly suicidal. Police believed Edly was still in the San Bernardino area, but there is a chance he has made passage back to Southwest Florida, having grown up in Port Charlotte. His wife also has family in Hillsborough County, Fla., where the couple lived for a time be- fore moving to California earlier this year. In addition, the FBI said Edly has ties to Belize in Central America, where he reportedly has family and friends. Identifying marks on Edly include a large, gash- type wound on his right hand, an abrasion to his right forearm, and a tat- too on his right shoulder, the FBI stated. According to media reports, Edly was last seen Dec. 4 while attempting REWARD OFFERED The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward.

'At this point, neither we nor the San Bernardino authorities have any ATHERLEY to buy a train ticket, but ran off after being identi- fied by a security officer. Charlotte County Sheriffs spokeswoman Debbie Bowe said she wants the information that would indicate Edly is in Charlotte County, or that he is headed here," Bowe said Thursday. Edly has a history of domestic violence-related arrests, starting in Port Charlotte. In February 2005, at age 20, Edly was charged with domestic battery, according to CCSO records. A second arrest, in November 2008, occurred in Brandon, east of Tampa. In both misdemeanor cases, charges were dropped, according to both Charlotte and Hillsborough court records. In the 2005 Port Charlotte case, court records show Edly went through a pretrial-di- version program, which includes batterers' uses, like a school and arena, that were asked for by the developer, or make the developer seek approval for whatever "special exception" is necessary down the road when the property owner knows exactly what will be built. Without having a specific development in mind, commissioners were unwilling to essen- tially write a blank check for the developer to build whatever the market will bear. "My concern is whether this is good zoning, good planning, and in compliance with the HOMES 17 Top 10 intervention classes. The State Attorney's Office then dropped the charges after Edly completed the program later that year. San Bernardino police believe Edly killed his wife sometime between Nov. 29 and Dec 1, before going on the run, the San Bernardino Sun reported. Police were called to check on her welfare Dec. 1. Family members said the two had been estranged for a few months. The couple have two children together, but they reportedly were not in the home at the time of the murder. Earlier this week, Ashley's family laid her to rest in a funeral service in the Tampa Bay area. Good morning, Gondolier Sun subscriber MaryJ.

Tree lighting ceremony 'spectacular' By MONTY ANDREWS GUEST COLUMNIST Some people think the holiday season has become too commercial and that the real spirit of Christmas has been lost. Hum-bug! This notion is only true if you allow it to be. This season, Venice Area Beautification, Inc. again put on a community tree lighting ceremony at West Blalock Park. The Venice Arboretum, with an array of trees and palms, was aglow with twinkling lights. Last year, more than 50 trees were decorated. This year, it is estimated that number was even higher. About 500 people showed up for the event, which featured entertainment, crafts for the kids, and snacks and beverages a good, old fashioned Christmas celebration. At 6 p.m., Mayor John Holic led the countdown to turning on the lights adorning the community Christmas tree. This was followed by the sequential lighting of the decorated trees throughout the park. As usual, it was spectacular. Venice Veterans Gala set for Jan. 26 The first annualVenice Veterans Gala is set for 2 p.m. on Jan. 26 at the Venice Community Center. This event will honor all current and previous members United States military forces, with this year's focus on those who served inWorldWar II. Tickets to the gala will be $12 ahead of time and $15 at the door. The gala will include food and beverages, a swing dance, a silent auction, a display of military paraphernalia and classic cars and a tribute to the "Greatest Generation." This event is organized by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice, and proceeds will benefit Veterans Housing of Catholic Charities and other Catholic Charities programs that support veterans and their families. In addition, proceeds will also support the Venice Museum and Archives, the B-26 Marauder Historical Society and the American Rosie the Riveters. This gala was inspired by a swing dance held in Michigan in 2010 by the B-26 Marauder Historical Society. Over time, the small swing dance developed into an annual gala that supports veterans, and then, members of the Veterans Gala in Michigan brought the idea to Venice. SunTrust Bank is sponsoring theVeterans Gala for $5,000, and Catholic Charities invites additional corporate sponsorships for $1,000, $500 and $250. Tickets for theVeniceVeterans Gala are available at SunTrust Bank at 200 South Nokomis Avenue or online at CatholicCharitiesDOVorg.

Robert Thomas Delarue, 34, of Venice was charged with two counts each of child neglect and contribut- ingbto the delinquency of a minor, a report states, alleging that DELARUE Delarue brought the children along during an effort to retrieve enough Xanax from local pharma- cies in order to pay back $500 that was owed by his girlfriend. During that time, the kids were exposed to the conversation about the drug debt, the report states. He later left the children unattended at a Venice home for ap- proximately 90 minutes, according to the report, until their mother came to pick them up. Delarue was arrested around 3 p.m. Wednesday and transported to the Sarasota County Jail, where he remains on $100,000 bond. The relationship between Delarue and the children was redacted from the report, as was the number and ages of the children involved.

Nash Dudley Owen Nash, 89, of Sarasota, Fla., died peacefully Tuesday, Dec.17, 2013, at the Windsor of Venice after a long, debilitating illness. g Dudley S was borm Sept. 10, 1924, in Sherburne, N.Y., to Gladys (Grover) Nash and Dudley Owen .. Nash Sr. He ;~ti-J graduated from Pelham Manor High School in Sherburne, N.Y., and joined the U.S. Navyin 1942, serving in the engine rooms of ships and performing triage on the wounded in the Battle of Normandy and at other significant battle sites. Dudley received an honorable discharge from the Navy after World War II in 1946. After graduating from Bliss Electrical School in Washington, D.C., in 1947, Dudley attended the State University of New York Maritime College from 1949 to 1950. He received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1953. After graduating from MIT, Dudley joined Sperry Gyroscope in Pittsfield, Mass., where he received his first patent, for a design in aircraft navigating radar. The majority of Dudley's career was spent at General Electric in Cincinnati, Ohio, from which he retired after 40 years. As a principal engineer at GE, he worked on the design of jet engines, obtaining 44 patents related primarily to exhaust engines. He was appointed to GE's Design Board, and among his other accomplishments in the world of aircraft engines, he contributed to the success of GEI, US/FRG and F101O engine programs. Dudley was a night owl. According to him, "Late at night, I did my best work. Often, thoughts seem to come into focus, and I begin to sketch out a problem we have been mulling over at work. I look at it from every angle, and what seems at first to be wild and unlikely turns out to be the right answer." Dudley married his first wife, Gertrude "Trudy" Skwierawsky, in 1952; she preceded him in death in 1988. Dudley married his second wife, Vera Ramstetter, in 1989 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They retired to Florida in 2007. In his spare time, Dudley enjoyed bicycling, swim- ming, skiing and ballroom dancing. He believed in the value and trust of people, admired hard workers and never hesitated to recog- nize their significance and the support they offered to the betterment of society.

Venice Ave., Venice, FL 34285 941.488.1075 www.venicedentist.com DECEMBER 21, 2013 WEEKEND EDITION No prosecution for code enforcement officer in sign flap By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR Can a code enforcement officer reach into an open vehicle and remove something deemed illegal by the city? That question will remain unanswered. The State Attorney's Office this week dismissed charges against a city of Venice code enforcement inspector after he re- moved an advertising sign from the back of an open hatchback. Earlier this year, Larry Hakes, of Palm Barber Shop in the Venice Mall (KMI Building), used his creative advertising idea to attract customers. He said it brought in 65 percent of his business. Inspector John Patek determined that wasn't allowed. Coincidently, the city was in the midst of revis- ing its sign laws. Leaving a commercial sign inside an open hatchback is now prohibited. After Patek's three visits with Hake, the barber had had enough. Hake filed trespass charges against Patek for entering his vehicle. Patek maintained he was only doing his job. Patek's employer, too, determined it was out of line, and directed him to replace the sign, which was thrown in the trash. Patek refused and was docked three days pay. Another employee had the sign recreated and delivered to Hake, who said he had enough city "harassment" and put the sign in storage. The city refused to provide an attorney to represent Patek, so he hired his own. "What's fair is fair. He didn't do anything wrong," said Robert Harrison, Patek's attorney. "If it was in a locked car, (he'd have to) get a court order." A 12th Circuit Court judge ordered mediation, but that never took place, Harrison said. He believes Hake wasn't interested in pursuing the legal action any further partly because the matter brought attention to other alleged code violations found at the barber shop. Patek has since filed a grievance against the city for docking his pay. That has yet to go to arbitration. "The city union has its own process for han- dling arbitrations," said Administrative Director Allen Bullock. "They have not indicated yet whether they will move forward with this arbitration." In a report, Bullock laid out the city concerns with Patek's actions. Patek defended those actions. "The city's charges against me are nebulous, ambiguous, and false," Patek said. "The charges claim that I removed a 'legal' sign which it is not; that there was a sign code moratorium in effect, which there was not; ... and that I was uncoop- erative with the police, which is totally false. "I immediately provid- ed them with copies of the prohibited sign code section, photo of the vehicle with sign in the tailgate, the section of the Code Enforcement (stat- utes) and job description relating to enforcement of the sign code. "Protocol calls for the code enforcement officer to first speak with the violator and educate them about the subject code, which is exactly what I did, but Mr. Hakes continued to display his unlawful sign in defiance anyway." Patek said removing the sign was a matter of safety. "Two weeks prior to the incident, I read about a motorcyclist in Inverness, Florida who was killed when a portable sign was blown in front of him. How do you think the city would respond if I did nothing and a pedestrian was hurt or a child in- jured by this sign blowing out the back of his car? "When I removed that sign, the furthest thing from my mind was that I was breaking any law," Patek said. Email: ggiles@venicegondolier.com MICHAEL J.

"You've asked for things normally (obtained through the) special exception (process). Commercial, multi-family ... is what's in the comp plan. I'm concerned about the refueling stations, au- tomotive centers, houses of worship, child care centers, schools, infant care centers, an arena..." Land use attorney Jeff Boone, representing the owner and contract pur- chaser, said the commer- cial, mixed use zone with additional uses would give the owner the "greatest amount of flexibility for developing the property when it comes along." Two commissioners supported granting that flexibility. "I think this is exactly the philosophical reason (behind) the CMU," said Commissioner Helen Moore. "To me, this is going from pure industrial to pure residential and it's a wonderful transition. "Yes, I wouldn't want to live next to some of the uses listed here ... but I don't know how we can parcel these out one by one." Commissioner John Williams said time was of the essence, and seeking special exceptions takes additional time. "I look at this list (of uses). I am not embar- rassed with any of these businesses. All of these belong in a community, in my opinion," Williams said. The remaining commis- sioners opposed the idea. "I think it would be a big mistake for us to grant everything on this list," said Commissioner Charles Newsom. Commissioner Shaun Graser urged the board to be critical in its evaluation of the proposal. "I'm really struggling with so many of the uses in this area ... uses that we will live with," Graser said. "If they want to come back and do the right thing - ask for a special exception - they can get them." The commission approved the rezone from Commercial General to Commercial Mixed Use at Tuesday's meeting, but not the additional uses. The 50.68 acre parcel was previously part of a larger 73-acre parcel approved for aWalmart, hotel and residential units but those plans died with the previous economic downturn. The original Renaissance property owner defaulted, putting the property back in the hands of the lender, OBWaterford LLC, an Orion Bank entity, until Orion went out of busi- ness. Iberia Bank currently owns the property. The contract purchaser is Vanguard Land LLC, a corporation led by devel- oper John Peshkin. Commissioners had good things to say about Peshkin's developments and especially his willing- ness to convene a commit- tee of area residents from nearbyWillow Chase and the Venetian Golf & River Club. The committee was supportive of the project, although some commu- nity members testified at Tuesday's meeting that granting the additional uses might have unintend- ed consequences. Peshkin's Toscana Isles project was approved ear- lier this year. The Toscana residential subdivision just north of the property peeled off 21 acres of the Renaissance property. Peshkin's new project approved this week is being called Portofino. Portofino's plan is for more intensive commer- cial uses for the western half of the property (25 acres) nearest Knights Trail Road, less intensive retail shops in the middle 20 acres, and residential in the northeastern 5 acres. Technically, the appli- cant received approval for SUN NEWSPAPERS 7A 650 residential dwelling units and 425,000 square feet of commercial, retail, office and service uses. Under the CMU, a big box store is still a possibili- ty. Technically, the prop- erty could also end up an all-residential subdivision, although Boone said that's unlikely City staff noted a previ- ous traffic analysis con- ducted for the site would need to be revisited once the development exceeds anticipated traffic. The Portofino rezone petition moves next to city council for its consideration. 06FF lS xlas0 .ir $179 Earr. sti * S e $79 Rc, S FREE $9 'Mold Inspection $valueI I Expires 1/1/14 j Lic#CAC1816190 Let Our 25 Years of Experience & Knowledge Work For You & Your Family Locally owned and operated.

PHONE: 941-207-1218 rdupont@venicegondolier.com SUN NEWSPAPERS OUR VIEW Our holiday message to group attacking Detert - back off Here is our message to the deep-pocketed bullies of Americans for Prosperity: Lay off Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice. Your campaign to discredit her and intimidate other moderate Florida Republicans is ignorant and dishon- est. We are offended. Local voters of all parties in her district should be offended. Take your smear tactics back home ASAP Detert was targeted recently by the conservative-libertarian political action group begun by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Americans for Prosperity is a 501(c)(4) "social welfare" nonprofit under the U.S. tax codes and advocates for limited government and free markets. Nationally, Americans for Prosperity spent $122 million in 2012 on "issue ads" that primarily opposed President Obama and congressional Democrats. But Republicans deemed not-conser- vative-enough also have been targeted, and Americans for Prosperity has spread its money liberally to influence state and local affairs. The campaign against Detert involved direct mailings, TV commer- cials and Web ads. Earlier mailings criticized her position on charter schools and state pensions. One mailing criticized her vote on expand- ing Medicaid coverage in Florida. Or, as the group spun it, supporting "Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion." Detert was, in fact, one of 38 state senators who voted in favor of ex- tending coverage to another 1 million Floridians using federal Medicaid dollars. Only one senator voted against it. Conservative stalwart Gov. Rick Scott also supported the measure, which failed in the House. So why Detert? "I'm bewildered, and so are my voters here," Detert told us recently. "It's like they're taking every national issue and sticking my face on it." At a big price tag, thanks to New York billionaires. Detert reportedly estimated the campaign against her cost as much as $100,000. She added, "Maybe they are adver- tising to find an opponent to me." Maybe. But more likely the group just wants to force Detert and other Republicans to look over their shoul- ders when voting. The politics of intimidation. Good luck to that. As Detert put it: "The only problem is, have you met me?" She is a clear-headed and strong- willed Republican veteran, hardly a liberal. Even from a GOP-centric perspec- tive, Detert said, "This is like sending the troops to Afghanistan, and the Marines start shooting at the Army." Tactically, she observed, "They are trying to push (legislators) over and trying to influence the rightward drift. We normal Republicans hope they would start their own party." We agree. We also think Detert is wise to take a low-key approach to the smear tactics. "I'm deliberatively saving my little pittance. The election is a year away, I have no opponent and people don't want to get political mailings (espe- cially, during the Christmas season)." We also agree with another of Detert's assessments: "To make it so political, they don't know the community, and it's not going to work." A tale of two mayors Are you familiar with Rob Ford, the Toronto mayor whose drug and/or alcohol-fueled tirades have brought his city international attention of the sort no city wants? The guy has admitted to smoking crack and was captured by cellphone camera threatening to commit unspeakable acts on a political enemy and also to kill him. I watched the video, and two questions immediately sprang to mind: one, how did this yutz get elected in the first place? And two, why can't we be that lucky? If I were a citizen of Toronto, I'd be outraged at Ford's antics, but speaking strictly as a jour- nalist, I can tell you that having a clown like him to write about is like winning the lottery and taking the regular payments instead of the lump sum. He's a walking, talking annuity. Typically, when a politician gets caught red-handed (or red-nosed), he and his han- dlers hunker down and, after initial denials, he apologizes and promises to get counsel- ing, go to rehab or do whatever else they think will buy him time until the next scandal erupts and his is forgotten. In very extreme cases, the only option is to resign, but with the expectation of re-emerging in another public career as soon as the smoke clears (because this type of person has attention-deficit disorder he can't stand not having attention paid to him). Ford, on the other hand, is defiant, as if he thinks using illegal, highly addictive drugs and making death threats are building his resume for higher (sorry) office. He did eventually have a good explanation for smoking crack (he said he was "prob- ably in one of my drunker stupors"), but otherwise is behaving as he's mayor of his own little universe, where reality is what he says it is. It's one thing to deny that you were drunk at a hockey game; it's something else entirely to deny that you were even at the game when there's a video recording of you there. Guess which one Ford did, blaming the "false" report on political opponents. (Isn't para- noia a sign of ... you know.) A mayor like that is the gift that keeps on giving. So, again strictly as a journalist, I'm envious. I mean, look what we have to work with: John Holic. Now, John is a very nice, very smart man. And he has given us a few kind of sexy stories to write about, like when he brought up whether city taxpayers deserve a break on the part of their taxes that fund the Sheriff's Office, since we have our own police force. But as Fords go, John is a Gerald without the clumsiness, not a Rob. Sure, John has his addic- tions: exercise and barbecue sauce. But if he's threatening to beat you, it's almost certainly in a bike race. The only way he would kill you is with kindness. Or possibly cholesterol. He has a sly, dry sense of humor, so I wouldn't put it past him to deny he had been somewhere in spite of photo- graphic evidence, but if he did his eyes would be twinkling, not glazed over. He's never going to be caught in a drunk- en stupor in his office unless someone spikes his Pepsi. As aVenice taxpayer, that's the kind of mayor I want. But in the eyes of a journalist, he's mayonaise on white bread, having nothing in common with Rob Ford other than that they're both carbon-based bipeds. And the next couple of weeks are a slow period, newswise. I wonder if Toronto would like to work out a mayor-swapping arrangement.

I LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Venice parks are a big asset Editor: Thank you for publishing my letter about the need for cleanup of Michael Biehl Park. And thanks to the city, (surprisingly) the day before the letter was published, the park palm trash and dead flowers were removed. Some bush trimming and the park will be back to its best. I believe the Venice parks are a big asset for the residents and guests. It would be great to have some of our events at the vari- ous parks so more people would get to know the individual park amenities. Patrick Keigher Venice Talk to your children Editor: The "30 million word gap" is a new concern for educators of young children. This staggering number represents the gap between the number of words heard by children of wealthier families compared to children from low-income households. Since children learn to speak because they are spoken to and spoken language is an important literacy skill, low-income chil- dren are at a disadvantage before they even get to kindergarten. As a former frugal mom and current frugal preschool direc- tor and grandma, I've come up with some easy, no-cost ways to bridge this gap. First, families, talk to your children. Engage them in conversation at every opportu- nity. Use those wasted minutes during the day while riding in the car, waiting in line, bath time, diaper changes, mealtimes, etc. Not only is talk cheap, it is free. Singing counts, too. Take advantage of our won- derful, free library system. Get a library card and one for your child. Take out books and read, read, read to your child. Sign your children up for the "Born to Read" program. Put the word out to family and friends that you'd be delighted to give a good home to any books their kids have outgrown. Most child care centers have a collection of books to lend out. Just ask. High-quality early education is a very worthwhile goal, but families can start immediately, on their own, to improve their child's chances for success without spending a dime. Deborah Whitham Venice Our area privileged to have Jean Clough Editor: I just want to comment on the very interesting and well-written article by Don Moore onVenice's own Jean Clough. What an extraordinary woman we have living here in Venice. I thank her for her outstanding service to our country. She is what makes America and Venice such an amazing place to live. Linda Shreck Venice How did the writer develop such contempt? Editor: It's bad enough to harbor feel- ings of one's superiority to his fellow man. It's quite different to have the audacity to publish these feelings in two area newspapers (in a letter titled "Say No To Shelters.") The writer describes herself as "a decent person" who wonders: "What is wrong with you people?" I turn that question around to ask the writer: What is wrong with you? How did you become so self-centered? What happened that you coldly developed con- tempt and disregard for those less fortunate than you? How have you missed the extensive media coverage of today's homeless population, which includes fam- ilies, single parents with children and college-educated individuals who have been downsized? Sure there are some addicts among them but they are the minority. To suggest that the homeless are "degenerates" who want to remain dependent on handouts demonstrates total ignorance of today's social reality. There but for the grace of God go you, writer! Rosemary Erstad Venice I am looking for this particular church Editor: I would like to attend a Christian Church that operates under the authority and sover- eignty of God, our Creator, not incorporated by the state, nor a 501(C) (3), nor uses the corrupt banking system of the world. I would like to fellowship with believers who choose to observe and teach the 10 Commandments, not just 9 Commandments. Man changed the day of rest and worship to Sunday, God didn't. If you do observe Sunday as your Sabbath, do you use it to rest as the Commandment states? Check Strong's concor- dance to see how many verses refer to the Sabbath day against the vague verses people use to dismiss and minimize the 4th Commandment. Genesis 2:3, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 31-16, and Exodus 35:2. Is there a church I can worship in that believes God's Word (red letter) Mark 16:15-18. So many say that healing the sick, casting out devils, speaking in tongues, etc. was only for the time of the Apostles. Searching God's Word, I find no time limit imposed on those verses as I find no time limit imposed on John 3:16. Where is the Church that teaches Baptism in the Holy Spirit as related in the Bible? Some churches teach some of the gifts of the spirit, but not all the gifts as recorded in 1 Cor: 12:8-11.Why some and not all? Is it a lack of faith that we do not see them taught and exercised? Shall we ignore John 1:33, 14:12-18, 16:7, Acts 2:17, 10:44-48, 19:1-6? I would like to find a New Testament Church.

Kathy Bolam Venice There is more to learn about JFK's true killer Editor: It appears that hun- dreds of books have been written about Lincoln, his life and his assassination. At the same time, it is beginning to become apparent that very nearly as many books about the assassination of John F. Kennedy have now been written with no end in sight and while there has never been doubt as to who killed Lincoln, there is plenty of doubt relating to the death of JFK, not merely regarding his alleged assassin but just who was behind it. Currently, I have read and now own six different books on JFK's death and each and every one of them comes to the same conclusion very early on. Lee Harvey Oswald was not the killer The perpetrator is still out there unless that person has died a natural death. The reasoning behind their startling conclusions all stem from the reality that an entry wound makes but a hole barely larger than the bullet itself and never inflicts the mas- sive damage upon entry that was horribly evident at the back of President Kennedy's head. That is the result of an exit wound in almost all cases - a bullet expanding greatly as it tears through its target. In JFK's case, it left large pieces of his brain in the street right behind his convertible in the motorcade through Dallas that fateful day. Each author in the list provided below makes it clear that the fatal bullet was fired from in front of the motorcade almost definitely from the oft-mentioned and still debated "grassy knoll." They all point out that a wound such as the president's could not have been inflicted from behind, from an office window six stories above the street and inflict the damage it did in the manner clearly evident in photos taken at the hospital in Dallas despite apparent efforts to alter and complicate subsequent investigations. For those still very much in doubt regarding the above, here is my list of the six referred to here. They are all available in paperback and should not be hard to find and order. "Rush to Judgment" - A critique of the Warren Commission. "Plausible Denial" -by the CIA involved? Both by Mark Lane. "Best Evidence" - "Disguise and deception in the JFK assassination" - By David Lifton. "JFK and the Unspeakable" He chose peace, they marked him for death By James W Douglas. "On The Trail of the JFK Assassins" "They're still out there" By Dick Russell. "JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy" By L. Fletcher Prouty. The charges of CIA involvement as put forth in just about all of these books to some degree or another stems from the fact that JFK hated the CIA and verbally said so on numerous occa- sions coupled with his stat- ed determination to totally eliminate that super-secret organization described by several of the above named authors as an organization that was a world until itself ... answerable to no one... not even the president of the United States. I have no doubt that there are many books dealing with the same scenario and, in due time, I just might read all...or at least most of them. Don Blair Venice I am outraged over rich kid being let off the hook Editor: I just finished writing a letter to John Wilson. He is a news reporter for Fox News 13 in Tampa. He does a weekly Outrage segment on his news program. I think Mr. Wilson will be Totally Outraged when he looks into the details about the 16-year-old Texas kid that was driving drunk He killed four people and injured nine other people. The Judge acquit- ted the kid because he was too affluent and his parents didn't teach him right from wrong. How about putting the parents in jail then? The judge should be going to jail or to a mental hospital for a decision like SUN NEWSPAPERS 9A that. Who is going to speak for the victims? Yes, Mr. Wilson, I hope that voice will be yours and heard loud and clear. This is a travesty of justice in my opinion. This kid isn't going to spend any time in prison for murdering four people, not to mention he stole the beer from a convenience store. That alone should have required some jail time. The kid's defense was that he was too affluent to go to jail. The kid will be in California on probation while mom- my and daddy pay over $400,000 a year to support him. Why was he allowed to keep his driver's license? If he doesn't know right from wrong, maybe he should not be driving. So then the message to other rich teens is, you can get away with murder if your parents are rich enough. How do we get justice for the victims of this traves- ty? What kind of society have we become?

O9 the Is nd E m i: .1 aise e l y o cs t e* w w e ic i p r d s. co m I I I DECEMBER 21, 2013 WEEKEND EDITION Venice police to hold first citizens academy By GREG GILES NEWS EDITOR The Venice Police Department will hold its first ever citizens' acade- my- where residents will get a behind-the-scenes look at the department and even get to fire a gun. Police Chief Tom McNulty made the announcement this week. "It's not a new con- cept," McNulty said. "It came out of our strategic planning session. It's always been one of our priorities to be transpar- ent. This allows the public to see how police work. It takes the mystique out of what we do and how we do it. It breaks down barriers for misguided perceptions." When he brought up the idea with the rank and file, McNulty was surprised at the interest. "We've had numerous department members who've said, 'I want to be part of it.' To me, that shows their commitment to the community. This isn't easy. Some of them are changing hours to do this." The Citizens Police Academy will begin in February 2014, and last 11 weeks. Classes will be held Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Waymire Training Facility on Lucaya Avenue in Venice. One Saturday afternoon is scheduled at the Venice Police Marine Building and dock, McNulty said. Already the department has received six applica- tions for the 25 available classroom seats. "If you have ever wanted to fire a police issued weapon, monitor and use police radios, or operate a police vessel, this is the opportunity," McNulty said. 'Are you curious about how a K-9 handler and their canine partner conduct building search- es or drug 'sniffs'? You will be given the chance to participate in mock demonstrations." Those interested 'Angels' help more than 100 families By KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR Nearly 100 Venice- area families waited patiently outside the Salvation Army's Angel Tree office in the Galleria Plaza Friday morning. Within the office, there were hundreds of gift bags, 81 bicycles and several scooters. "If a child requested a bicycle, he will get it," Salvation Army Captain Christine Kim said. "Children 12 and under also get toys and clothing. Children 13-17 receive $25 gift cards." Parents applied for the Angel Tree program earlier in the year, which allows time for matching angels with the children to fulfill everyone's requests. Assisting with the distribution were Angel Tree coordinator Betsy Roiz, Lori Ziemke. Katrina Ziemke and Heather Moffatt. Katrina is a sophomore at State College of Florida and Moffatt is a sophomore at the University of Florida, They began working with the Angel Tree program as freshmen members of the Interact Club at Venice High School. The Salvation Army of Venice oversees a similar program in North Port. should contact Lee Lyons, or at llyons@venicegov. accreditation coordinator, com to obtain an applica- at 941-486-2444, ext. 3265 tion.

Email: ggiles@ivenicegondolier.com TOI SI#AJI CMIURjJUN$ SUDDEN JOLTS If you have ever suffered a sudden jolt and impact, there may be no noticeable symptoms for weeks or months. The reason for this is that the spinal discs and ligaments, the tough connective tissue that holds bones together, have no pain fibers. If muscle spasms and inflammation around the nerve roots develop, this may cause headaches, dizziness, neuralgia, and loss of neck motion. Sudden jolts and impacts are often associated with whiplash injuries that result when an automobile is struck from behind. When this happens, the person in the struck auto finds his body thrust forward and his neck and head backward. In a major injury, several thousand pounds of force may be absorbed by the cervical or neck area of the spine. Similar though less severe injuries can also result from falls and body contact sports. If you are suffering from pain in the neck or any area of your back, you may be able to benefit greatly from chiropractic treatment.

The advertising agency, based in Columbus, Ohio, has worked with Hanna on other Columbus Zoo projects. Hanna directed the zoo for years. The un- scripted Wild Countdown is filmed right in the zoo, Hanna's base camp for decades. Foth Advertising set up shop in the Hamilton Square parking lot, hiring local area subcontractors like First Unit Production Service from Pinellas Park, for the two-day shoot. The production com- pany chose Barclay's be- cause it's an independent pharmacy and because "they're super friendly," Weiss said. Hanna arrived on set Wednesday afternoon and was immediately ap- proached for an autograph. Hanna shook hands with a few onlookers and production staff, and launched into a Venice story upon seeing Venice police officer Sean Hammett, who was providing security. Turns out Hanna was in Clock's Restaurant when the Fifth Third Bank was robbed in March. Hanna said he hadn't even gotten his breakfast when patrons were or- dered to leave the restau- rant, located across the street from the bank, and remain in their vehicles. The robbery took place March 4 a little after 10 a.m., causing the evac- uation of nearby busi- nesses and lockdowns at nearby schools. Hazmat teams were deployed due to a bomb threat by the perpetrator. The culprit was never apprehended. When officers entered the restaurant, Hanna hesitated. You could see the dis- appointment on his face, as he retold the story. "I was hungry."

Flynn tore her meniscus in her knee prior to the season, and the timetable for her return was in question. On Thursday night, Flynn came off the bench to spark a 7-0 run in the first quarter and lead the Indians to a 43- 40 victory over the rival North Port Bobcats. "She (Flynn) really gave us a lift right there," Davis said. "We have needed a consistent scorer all season, and she provides that." The Bobcats led 10-5 thanks to the play of Le'Kyra Smith (five points) and Rahanda Burke (four points). That's when Davis insert- ed Flynn into the lineup, and the senior respond- ed by scoring five of the next seven Venice points as the Indians took a 12-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. "That redhead (Flynn) hit some big shots," Bobcats' coach Tom Tintor said. "She is a veteran guard and didn't miss a beat even though she's been out." Venice continued its onslaught in the second quarter, extending the lead to 19-10. The Bobcats responded late in the quarter with an 8-0 run of their own to close within 19-18 before a Lucy Whitney free throw stopped the threat. North Port struggled in the third quarter as Smith, the team's leading scorer, picked up her fourth foul and had to sit on the bench. The Indians started to pull away before Jelena Dosen and Lorena Marra led another comeback. North Port finally tied the game at 28 on a three-pointer by Marra, but couldn't get the lead. Emma Hanewinckel made a free throw and Koree Ream closed the quarter with a jump shot that gave Venice a 31-28 lead going into the fourth quarter. "We knew Smith was a good player, and we wanted to keep her down," Davis said. "Getting her in foul trouble really helped us out." Tintor said, "It got really tough when Le'Kyra went out. She has been carrying a lot of the load." Again the Indians got quick points from Kayla McCutchen and Flynn to extend their lead to 35-28, but the Bobcats wouldn't go away. North Port got within three on a shot by Dosen and a steal and layup by Shuana Naudascher. The Bobcats started to foul to extend the game, but Venice went 6-of-8 from the free-throw line to close it out. "I've been preaching to the girls that you have to take the wins and no one will give them to you," Davis said. "Tonight we took it by our unselfish play and our good defense. We never gave up the lead." Flynn led Venice with 13 points while Taira Ward added five points and 10 rebounds. Koree Ream contributed seven points and six rebounds, and Emma Hanewinckel also added seven points. Marra led the Bobcats with 11 points, while Smith added eight points and four assists before fouling out. Naudascher added six points, five re- bounds and three steals. Burke and Dosen also contributed six points. Taylor Angelo heads for the hoop with North Port defenders in pursuit. SUN PHOTOS BYJUSTIN FENNELL Maggie Flynn scores two of her team-high 13 points. Venice beat North Port 43-40. HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER Sarasota uses ineligible players, forfeits By ROB SMITH SPORTS EDITOR Thursday night's Sarasota-Venice soccer match was cut short and awarded to the Indians, due to FHSAA infractions committed by Sarasota. The match was halted eight minutes into the first half, when officials were informed that the Sailors were using mul- tiple players who had played in the preceding junior varsity game. FHSAA rules prevent student-athletes from participating in JV and varsity contests on the same day. Sarasota coach Gunnar Barcomb, mired in a 1-14 season, declined to address the forfeit afterwards. "There wasn't a game, so I don't know what we would talk about," Barcomb said. Venice improved to 10-2-2 (9-1 District 11) and are unbeaten (8-0-1) in their last nine matches. Swanson scores pair in 4-2 win Sophomore Daniel Swanson scored two goals Wednesday night as the Indians defeat- ed Manatee 4-2 in Bradenton. Junior Alex Kotti and senior Jason McGuire also scored for Venice. Email: RSmith@VenkiceGondolier.com GO TEAM TUESDAY!

Susan Ott, created especially for Venice Theatre. Playing only through this Sunday afternoon, Dec. 22, this version of the Charles Dickens classic is special because of the music and the staging. Other theaters, including local profes- sional theaters, have pre- sented their own versions of the classic Dickens tale but somehow Keys and Ott captured the essence of Dickens better than all of them. Directed by Murray Chase, with costumes by Nicholas Hartman, sets by Miles Mowry, music direction by Michelle Kasanofsky, choreography by Sandy Davisson and Noel Oxboel, sound by Dorian Boyd and lighting by John Michael Andzulis, this is the gift that keeps on giving. Eric Watters has portrayed Ebeneezer Scrooge for 12 years. In real life, anything but a Scrooge, Watters nails the curmudgeonly character once again, paying poor Bob Cratchit far too little, making him freeze his fingers in a too cold office and then trying to make him feel guilty for taking Christmas Day off with pay. Jeff Dunn-Rankin, youth director at Christ Methodist Church, has portrayed Cratchit annu- ally since 2006 when his daughter Katie joined the cast, most often portray- ing a Cratchit daughter. This year, she is the younger Belle, with Stacy Pinkerton as older Belle. Pinkerton's daughter Kristin portrays Caroline. It is her sixth year in the show. If you are noticing a theme here, it is the family aspect of this wonderful family show. Not only is the show loaded with actors who have been trained in the theater's education department, the show also is loaded with sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, cousins, neph- ews and the like. A high percentage of partici- pants are associated with the show for the sixth or eighth year or longer. I first saw Alyssa Hunek in "A Christmas Carol" when she was about 8 and active in the Sarasota Youth Opera as well as at Venice Theatre. She has since graduated from college and is working on a master's degree in music therapy. In her 13th production, she portrays a charity person. She has been Mrs. Cratchit and as a youngster, several of the roles for children. Her nephew Ryan is back for the third year. This year the Epiphany fourth-grader is Ignorance, Schoolboy and Wilkins child. Chase's wife Lori is the voice of Christmas Past. This is her 12th year in the show. Pine View eighth-grader Charlie Kollar is back for his eighth year in "Carol." He is young Scrooge and Caroline's husband. His parents are Venice Theatre producing director Allan Kollar and volunteer coordinator and facilities manager Kim Kollar. The DeNiro family is represented by son Tony who is back from college for his seventh performance in "A Christmas Carol." He portrays a charity person and a party guest. His father Phil returns as Fezziwig and dedicates his role to the late Steve Credeur who played the role for many years. Linda DeNiro plays Mrs. Fezziwig in her third ap- pearance in "A Christmas Carol." Daughter Teri DeNiro is Older fan, featured danc- er and Christmas Future. It is her fifth production. With this family, the chil- dren were on stage first and the parents followed. The Balliet family is rep- resented by UCF junior Hayley Brielle Balliet for her eighth appearance; younger sister Kenzie in her seventh appearance and 14-year-old Reese in her sixth production of "A Christmas Carol." Stage manager Hannah Betterton is involved for the 11 th year, her fifth as stage manager. While many of those mentioned above have appeared in a various roles from year to year, Neil Kasanofsky is Christmas Present for the 1lth year.

He magically transforms himself into Think twice about giving a pet FROM SUNCOAST HUMANE SOCIETY With the holidays upon us, some people may want to give a pet as a surprise gift to someone, often a relative or close friend. But receiving a pet unexpected- ly can be disastrous for both the pet and the individual. Puppies and kittens require 10 to 20 years of responsibility with an emotional and financial commitment. Even if the recipients love animals, they may not be in a position to care for a pet right now. Another factor is that it may not be the exact pet they would choose for themselves. And young children can become over- whelmed with caring for a pet, forcing their parents to become responsible for a pet they may not have wanted in the first place. Animal shelters like Suncoast Humane Society see an influx of surrendered pets after the holidays, usually because new pet owners are not prepared for the responsibility of an unexpected pet. This experience is traumatic for the pet and the intended family. There are alternatives to gifting a pet for the holidays. If you know that the intended recipient has been considering adopting a pet, giving money toward the adoption fee could be appropriate. The potential adopter can go to a shelter and pick a suitable pet for the family. Only the recipient really knows which pet will work for the household. Another alternative to gifting a pet is to make a donation in the recipient's name to the Humane Society. Everyone appreci- ates the thoughtfulness of such a gift and realizes the importance of caring for shelter pets. For more information, contact Suncoast Humane Society at 941-474-7884, stop by the adoption center at 6781 San Casa Drive, Englewood, or visit: Humane.org. Skelton live on stage, com- plete with rubber-faced pantomimes, ageless sight gags, obscenity-free jokes and his legion of memora- ble characters. Mullica handles Skelton's voices, mannerisms and expressions with the skill of a veteran actor who cares deeply about his subject.

"Best of Venice" Winner For 8 Consecutive Years! ..-j :14k SUN NEWSPAPERS WEEKENDD EDITION DECEMBER 21, 2013 Gifts, joy featured at hospital's 'Adopt A Family' event By SUSAN ERWIN FOR THE GONDOLIER SUN Nearly 30 local fam- ilies will enjoy a happy Christmas this year even though they might have predicted a grim one just a few months ago. Scores of gifts were pre- sented to the families when the Venice Regional Adopt- A-Family Program was held Thursday afternoon in the main auditorium at the hospital. Scores of volunteers and hospital staff joined togeth- er for a blessing of the gifts before they were sent off to the recipients. CEO Pete Wozniak greeted the guests. The group reflected in prayer and then sang joyous Christmas carols together. "I feel fortunate to work with such an incredible, spirited group of people," said Bob Hite, marketing director at Venice Regional Medical Center. "The generosity here today is so overwhelming." Ingrid Tetreault, vol- unteer coordinator at the hospital, heads a group of 640 volunteers. "Many people put in a lot of hard work to make this happen," Tetreault said. Boxes and bags of wrapped gifts filled the tables in the auditorium. Program volunteers wait for the blessing of the gifts at Venice Regional Medical Center's Adopt- A-Family event. The presents were going to families who are facing difficult times this holiday season. Several organizations participated in the program, including the YMCA, Laurel Civic Association, Women's Resource Center and Senior Friendship Center. Hospital staff members referred some of the families that will receive gifts. And it's all planned ahead very carefully. "Basically, we learn about families that may benefit from the program," Hite said. "We then ask these families if they would like to be part of it, and we then divide them up between all of our departments and staff to purchase the gifts." The hospital has been coordinating the program for nearly 20 years. Approximately 500 families have been adopted throughout the years. Bridgett Bortz, executive administrative assistant, Pete Wozniak, the CEO at Venice Regional Medical Center, greets the crowd at the annual Adopt-A-Family holiday program at the hospital on Thursday afternoon. said the group has been putting the project together since October. "I just finished shopping last night for one family" Bortz said. The agencies involved took the packages and will distribute them to the families. Through other various internal fundraisers, the hospital is giving away 2,000 turkeys and pump- kin pies to the families, volunteers and other staff members for Christmas. "What's amazing is that these people work hard to save lives all day, and then when they do get a break, they spend their time helping even more," Hite said. Discover Downtown Ver Miami Ave!

Jesse Knight. It was cold enough for snow. "Water tossed into the air freezes before it hits the ground," church historian Vereen Anspach said about that night. The Seminole Indian Wars had ended about 1858. The CivilWar had been over for three years. Florida had a new Constitution that declared all men free. Post-war reconstruction had begun. And that is where this story begins. Earlier that year, Shade Hancock, 29, his wife, Sarah Jane Knight, 23, and their two young sons moved to the area today known as Venice. She was the daughter of Jesse and Rebecca Knight. Their parents followed some months later, as did Sarah's 14 siblings, their spouses and assorted children. So did families by the name of Curry and Roberts and Blackburn and Higel and Blalock. Their descendants are still here, and their names dot the map: Curry Creek, Blackburn Point, Roberts Bay.... "My great-grandfather came as a doctor with the calvary for the Seminole Indian wars and then came back and home- steaded," Ike Roberts said. "My grandfather was John Slemons Blackburn. He came to homestead in 1884." John Slemons Blackburn had received a land grant of roughly 83 acres signed by President Grover Cleveland. A mule and a wagon The man for whom Roberts Bay was named was a distant cousin of Roberts', who said the man had tried to grow cassava in the area but the cold weather ruined his crops. "When he found a person who would trade him a mule and a wagon for the land, he left town," Roberts said. "I never did learn where he went." Although that particu- lar Roberts left the area, Ike Roberts is related to "most" of the early set- tlers, and he and his wife still live on family land in the fourth house they've built on it. "The Knights came first, and then the Higels and then the Blackburns on my mother's side," he said. "Blackburn Point is named for my great-grandfather John Slemons Blackburn. He is buried at Spanish Point. His sister also is buried there. She died at 2 in 1910. Blackburn Road is named for my grandfa- ther Benjamin Franklin Blackburn." The Blackburn for whom Blackburn Road is named had a 168-acre homestead that extended from Blackburn Road north to Laurel Road and west to the bay. The Higels were on the south side of the bay, Roberts said. For his family's homestead, Jesse Knight selected high ground near today's Dona Bay and Shake It and Salt Creeks, according to "Venice, Journey from Horse and Chaise," by Janet Snyder Matthews. Eyry and Guava The area was then known as Horse and Chaise, an odd name de- rived from some groves of trees that could be seen from the Gulf of Mexico. From that vantage point, PHOTO COURTESY VENICE-NOKOMIS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Built in 1903, the first church building of the Venice-Nokomis United Methodist Church was located on Colonia Lane where the Jesse Knight Memorial Cemetery is located today. The first church was destroyed by the hurricane of 1926. boaters said, the groves resembled a "horse and chaise" (a carriage). According to Matthews' book, Jesse selected the site from the water. The name Horse and Chaise was replaced by Venice in 1888, when Darwin Curry established the second post office in the area. The first, named CHURCH15 SUN PHOTO BY KIM COOL Ike Roberts, grandson of Benjamin Blackburn, sits in the sanc- tuary of the Venice-Nokomis United Methodist Church, thinking about his ancestors and others who founded the 145-year-old church in Nokomis.

The people behind Hazeltine's Christmas trees -- .-~~.. is all about. Oh, and it's graduated in 1983 and I worked with architects in L - .. - AUDREY BLACKWELL From all appearances, Stephen and Michelle Hazeltine are just regular folks: educated, business owners, parents. Just like so many people, right? But a look behind the scenes reveals a wonderful story about this unique pair that is worth telling, especially in the holiday season. It's Christmastime, the time of year when the major focus is on family and giving. And that is a big part of what this family about Christmas trees. This Christmas is special for the Hazeltines. The nursery turns 30 on Dec. 15, and the couple will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary on that date. "We were high school sweethearts," Michelle said. Both are natives of Sarasota County, through and through. Stephen is a fourth-generation Venetian; Michelle grew up in Sarasota. They met at Sarasota County Technical Institute while dual-en- rolled and still in high school. He studied horticulture; she studied livestock production. It was a match made in heaven. "We began dating in 1982," Michelle said. "He graduated in 1984, but we started the business together in 1983." First farm Stephen's parents had 17 acres on Laurel Road, and the pair started growing plants. She came down every afternoon and weekend to work the farm. "Our goal was to grow fancy plants (a state plant category) and we grew hibiscus and other crops and propagated seeds for palm trees," Michelle said. She graduated high school, and with the realization they couldn't compete with large grow- ers who had 100 acres or more in plants, they both went back to school. "We had a nursery and Venice and Sarasota, in- stalling their plans. Then we thought, 'We can do this,' and we went back to school and learned landscape design and irri- gation design and started doing our own design work," she said. "Now, that's all we do design landscape and build. We do driveways, swimming pools, arbors, lighting, irrigation anything that is outside the house." It's a full-service oper- ation, including main- tenance. The Hazeltines moved the nursery to its current location at 2401 River Road, a bit south of East Venice Avenue, in 1993.

Lauren Mitchell Band rocks the 'Blues' By AUDREY BLACKWELL ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR Those who may have missed hearing The Lauren Mitchell Band at the Venice Brews & Blues Festival in November missed some great entertainment. At a recent performance by the band Friday night, Dec. 13, at Englewood on Dearborn, they about blew the roof off the band- stand. Fortunately, the bandstand is outdoors. This band, with its fab- ulous 5-foot-10-inch tall leader, Lauren Mitchell- who becomes even more imposing in sassy red 4-inch high heels and four seasoned male blues players on the keyboard, bass guitar, Les Paul guitar and drums, play it out of the park. This band plays the blues like you hope to hear it played from gut-wrenching soul to quirky humor to that get- down sound. Having been together for just about two years, they are already making their mark with blues fans. The Loren Mitchell Band was recently selected to compete in the International Blues Challenge (IBC) Jan. 21-25 in Memphis.

Originally from Canton, Ohio, Mitchell has been performing with the Hammond B3 man, "The Professor" Michael Hensley, for 10 years. Other band members include drummer Charles "Step" Steptoe, guitar player "Howlin"' Bob Fieberts and bass player Mike Snyder. The band is performing all along Florida's Sun Coast, raising money for the trip to Memphis for the IBC. It will be at the Blue Rooster, 1525 4th St., Sarasota, Dec. 27 and Jan. 17, 8:30-11:30 p.m.; Music on Main on Old Main Street in Bradenton, Dec. 31, 9 p.m.; and back at Englewood on Dearborn, 362 W. Dearborn St., Englewood, Jan. 16, 7-10 p.m. "We need about $5,000 for the trip," Mitchell said. So far, they've raised about $2,000, but more is needed. Funds are raised through sales of their T-shirts, emblazoned with the name of their new CD, "Please Come Home." "People can also donate for our trip through Suncoast Blues Society," Mitchell said. "Cash or gas cards would be appreciated." People can join Suncoast Blues Society for a $20 single one-year membership or $30 for a family.

EDITOR 941-207-1218 rdupont@venicegondolier.com SUN NEWSPAPERS A growing need By ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH NORTH PORT COMMUNITY NEWS EDITOR Butterflies and bees aren't the only ones ben- efiting from the sunflow- ers, string beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage grown at the North Port High School community garden. Freshly grown produce at the campus is donated to the school's Bobcat Boutique which provides food, clothing, school supplies and personal-care items for students and then given to families in need. The program is catch- ing on at the school, thanks to a small group of students from the Coexist Club and teachers dedicated to tending the garden. "We have about 20 plots going so far," said NPHS teacher Jim Noonan, who oversees Amanda Burke, 14, an NPHS freshman and Coexist member, waters plants at the school's community garden. the garden. "This is really a hobby of mine, but I've gotten my family involved. My daughters help water the plants and pick (the vegetables) when they are ready. A couple of teachers from (nearby) Heron Creek Middle School come over and work on their plots. There's a teacher who works with at-risk students, and their plots are doing the best." Volunteer student Kirstin LeClercq, 17, said the concept for the garden is ideal because of the many benefits it brings. "Working in the gar- den at school is a great example of how to pay it forward to others," she said. Tall sunflowers, which attract bees, peek above the plots. Students are not bothered by the bees as they check to see if the rosemary, dill, cauliflower, basil, eggplant, tomatoes and sweet potatoes are ready for harvest. "I print out recipes for the vegetables we grow to help families with meals," Noonan said. "I've also made sweet potato pie and given it to students."

Students in culinary arts classes are using ingredients from the garden for some of their dishes. Noonan said he would like more science classes to be a part of the project. Currently, other stu- dents are making bat cages to help control the bat population at the school. "We really don't mind co-existing with the bats, because they help keep the garden bug-free," Noonan said, adding that the program also is assist- ed by donations of soil, seeds and garden tools from home improvement stores and local business- es like Manic Organic. "One guy came here and donated cages for the plants," he said. Senior Elijah Horton, 17, said he hopes more students will want to be a part of the community garden throughout the school year. "Not everyone knows there's a greenhouse behind the school," he said. Fellow Coexist Club member Amanda Burke, 14, said she'd like to continue the tradition for the next four years. "We like to be able to help other students," the ninth-grader said. Noonan plans to reno- vate the greenhouse near the community plots, which he also wants to extend, because there's plenty of room in the space he's been given for the garden area. "During (a) storm, parts of the greenhouse tiles got damaged," he said. "I'm hoping to be able to repair it." Anyone interested in helping with the garden can call Noonan at North Port High School at 941-423-8558. Email: eallen@sun-herald.com Alternative helipad location sought By DREW WINCHESTER STAFF WRITER Just days after a raucous North Port City Commission meeting, during which hundreds of people both supported and denounced the Bayflite helicopter stationed near city hall, Heron Creek Homeowners Association members said that particular agenda item was driven by a separate homeowners group and Commissioner Cheryl Cook, who failed to provide any backup information on the item to the public. Cook, who didn't return an email request for comment on her involvement with that separate group, made a motion at Monday's meeting to sever ties with the life-saving transport company following a 60-day separation notice, a clause contained in the contract between Bayflite and the city. The motion ultimately failed, as Mayor Jim Blucher and Commissioners Linda Yates and Tom Jones voted against it. Cook's concerns were twofold: some Heron Creek homeowners were bothered by noise from the helicopter, and Cook feared the chopper could simply fall out of the sky and injure people on the ground. A public records request the Sun made earlier this past week, for Cook's emails over the course of the previous two weeks, had not been fulfilled by the City Clerk's Office as of Saturday. Dennis Picard, a mem- ber of the Heron Creek Community Foundation, said the two groups likely want the same thing - a new home for the Bayflite chopper but added that the groups were working separately. He also said those indi- viduals, along with Cook, were the ones "driving" the agenda item Monday. Picard said they were working to make sug- gestions to city staff for relocating the helipad. The commission directed staff on Monday to come up with alternate solu- tions by May 2014. "We believe in and support the entire community of North Port and elsewhere," Picard said. "We're trying to find solutions that benefit the city. We're not the kind of people who want to take it from our backyard and stick it in your backyard." According to city documents, Bayflite and the city are in a two-year contract that started in January 2012, with Bayflite as the city's tenant. Under the contract, Bayflite pays $17,904 annually to rent the space, which in- cludes use of the landing pad, a storage building and a fuel tank. Although the agree- ment is for the term of two years, either the city or Bayflite can terminate the relationship with a 60-day written notice without penalty. Ninety-one people have been transported out of North Port this year via Bayflite, docu- ments show. Scott Wyant, program coordinator for the St. Petersburg-based Bayflite operation, said that statistical data drive the company's decision-making process as to where helipads can be placed. Each location needs standard features like storage, gas tanks and quarters for Bayflite crew, but he said he was more than willing to work with the city to find another possible location for the helipad. "I'd love to find some mitigation strategy to help the current location make sense, but we also want to be good neighbors and we don't want to disturb anyone," Wyant added. Blucher believes, over- all, it's a "small group" of people in the Heron SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH, eallen@sun-herald.com At least through May, a Bayflite medical helicopter will remain at North Port Fire Station 81, along Sumter Boulevard, near City Creek community, likely those with homes that front Sumter Boulevard, who are most concerned with the helicopter. He said the helicopter typically makes a noise that lasts roughly a min- ute and a half. Blucher believes the relationship between Bayflite and the city is a good one, and is confident the two parties can work together to find a new helipad location. "You have to put yourself in their shoes," Blucher said of the Heron Creek community. "I do feel sorry for them, but I also understand the rest of the people asking why we should worry about them when the helicopter is helping to save lives." Email: dwinchester@sun-herald.com Carrying cross for his church 'V A ~ LIFE STORIES Steve Baumann n the walls of his office, among the photos of fami- ly and friends, the Rev. John Cross has a small oil painting of a rural church. Alcova Mountain Baptist is red brick with large trees out front, an outbuilding nearby and Alcova Mountain itself in the distance. It's the place Pastor Cross first preached when he was 17 years old. It's the place his father spent years preaching. "I go there a lot of days in my mind and in my heart," Pastor Cross said last week at the South Biscayne Church in North Port, which he has transformed in 23 years from a small church of 100-some-odd to a large church of roughly 3,000. Pastor Cross was born five decades ago in rural northeastern Georgia. When he was just 11, he said, "I became a follower of Christ. "I didn't see stars, I didn't hear angels sing- ing, but I did sense a settled feeling of peace, of surrender, and belief that now he is my shepherd," he said. Next came the calling for the ministry. John Cross went to Mercer University for his bachelor's degree and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for a master's and eventually a doctorate. In 1990, he happened to be available when a tiny North Port church came looking for a stu- dent-speaker over spring break. As it turned out, the congregation also was looking for a full-time minister. John Cross took his break here, and then the job. He was 27. North Port had about 12,000 residents at the time. The church had 100 regulars all seniors. But they foresaw growth, Pastor Cross said, and "they believed South Biscayne should do whatever it takes to reach particularly the young families that were going to be moving to town." That they did. In 1996, South Biscayne moved from what is now the Boys & Girls Club (on South Biscayne Drive) to the former North Port Mall on U.S. 41. It was a big move to a big build- ing, but they've filled the place. There are now almost 3,000 members. South Biscayne Baptist has an exceptional reach. It donates Christmas presents and distributes food. Its back-to-school bash last year attracted 1,500 for school supplies, clothing, free haircuts, physical and hamburgers. Its Easter and Christmas pageants are said to be spectaculars. And in coming years, a large, faith-based assisted living facility will be built next door. South Biscayne is com- mitted to "preaching and teaching the Bible," Pastor Cross said. "However, methods change all the time. We don't want to be an eight-track church in an MP3 world." Along those lines, Pastor Cross said, "Our church has been willing to think outside the box. In fact, they've even been willing to throw away the box so that we don't limit how we can communi- cate this message." That means Sunday worship for young- sters particularly is "high-high-high energy," he said. "We believe if we create a church where kids are pumped up and fired up, the parents aren't trying to get the kids to come, the kids are trying to get the parents to come." In other ways, too, kids have become more central to his life. Four years ago, Pastor Cross, hitherto single, married a widow with five children. He will be a grandfather soon. He feels particularly blessed about that. "They're awesome," he said. "Of course, my wife is beautiful and phenom- enal. God's been good." Stephen Baumann is a member of the Sun's edito- rial board.

However, for the Venice Lions Club, Venice Theatre and the memory of Al Kelly, who died May 6, 2013, a table saw is the perfect memorial for his life of volunteerism. Kelly, a native of Cherry Hill, N.J., where he was an active member of the Lions Club, joined the local Lions Club in 1983 and served terms as director, tail twister and president. In 2007, Kelly became a regular volunteer on the Venice Theatre stage crew building sets for the theater's productions. A brass plaque on the table saw memorializes the service of Kelly and the donation of the Lions. PHOTO COURTESY OF VENICE THEATRE Members of the Venice Lions Club, who donated the table saw, and the volunteers of the Venice Theatre stage crew, who build the sets at the community theater, gather on the stage to dedicate a table saw purchased by the Venice Lions Club to commemorate 30 years of service by late Venice resident Al Kelly. CHURCH FROM PAGE 1 Eyry by Frank Higel in 1885, lasted little more than a year, according to Matthews' book. She writes that in 1888, Curry applied for a post office near one of the early Knight homesteads. He entered "Guava" on the form but crossed it out and wrote in "Venice," possibly influenced by promoters who cited the "similarities between peninsular frontier Florida and the romance and sophistication of peninsular Italy." That post office is said to have served just 60 families. The church was under- going changes too. Growth That 1868 Christmas Eve service was the first of many in the area's first, and for many years only, church, Knights' Chapel. And it was enough, because when the church was founded, there were few families in the area. The Webbs and Guptils were in Osprey and the Knights and Currys were in what is today the Nokomis area, Roberts said. "Many of the first people at the church were Baptists but they went to the church because it was the only one there," church member Rose Hightower said. When the group finally outgrew the Knights' home, an arbor was constructed for church services. In 1893, according to church history, an 18-by 24-foot building was erected to serve as both schoolhouse and church. The church also gained a longer name -Venice Methodist Episcopal Church South. Ten years later, in 1903, the church finally gained a home of its own, complete to a steeple, stained-glass windows and a bell from an old locomotive. It was erected on land donated by Jesse Knight to a public trust. The final name change can be attributed in part to the arrival of Chicago socialite Bertha Honore Palmer in the area in 1910. She became the area's largest landholder and by 1912 had persuad- ed the Seaboard Air Line Railway to move south and build a new depot where today' Historic Venice Train Depot is located. She also arranged to have the Venice Post Office moved to the rail line's new terminus, which left its former location nameless for a year. Among the names pro- posed by area residents were Knighton, Curryton and DunDee, Matthews writes. The area was named Nokomis in 1917 by former Venice post- master Alfred Franklin Wrede, Jesse Knight's son-in-law. According to legend, Wrede was inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The Song of Hiawatha." Nokomis was Hiawatha's grandmother. 1926 The building that housed what had become the Venice-Nokomis United Methodist Church was destroyed by the hurricane of 1926, and the bell, eventually salvaged, ended up at the Englewood Methodist Church until 1976, when it was returned. Today's church building is on the Bay Point site donated by Dr. Fred Albee after the hurricane of 1926. Albee at one time owned most of present-day Nokomis and Venice. The Rev. Hubert Dodd had just arrived at the church in 1926. After the hurricane, he tended his flock and also managed to raise most of the mon- ey for reconstruction even as the Great Depression grew. During those years, the local school served as a temporary home for the church. On the building committee were Claude T. Curry and Thomas M. Wrede, from two more church families that also were among the area's pioneers. The building was completed in 1927 at a cost of $25,000, some of which was paid back slowly to the contractor because many who had made pledges lacked the money in those hard times. Additions increased the size of the building in 1950, 1958 and 1959 and 1965. The church also sponsored an additional church in Venice in 1960 Grace United Methodist Church. Its first services were held at Venice Theatre. The first church site, on Colonia Lane in present-day Nokomis, is a historical landmark as the site of the area's first cem- etery. Jesse and Caroline Knight's first home was about 300 feet south of the cemetery, whose name was eventually changed to The Jesse Knight Memorial Cemetery. He died Oct. 4, 1911, at age 94, and was buried there. Members of the church maintain the cemetery, which in recent years gained additional acreage. Celebration On Nov. 30, present-day church members cele- brated the 145th anni- versary at the cemetery, reflecting on those early founders, their descen- dants, the church and its legacy. "I was out of college before I realized who they were," Rose Hightower said about some of the descendants still involved with the church. "I try to imagine what it was like then when I drive past that old hotel on Colonia near the cemetery." In addition to the early settlers, the late Bob Briner, longtime owner of the Dairy Queen by the Hatchett Creek Bridge, the late Earl Blackburn, land owner and re- nowned barbecue chef, and longtime church historian Verena Anspach were honored at the anniversary event. Several church members dressed in period clothing to portray members of the pioneer families. Pastor Ralph Burton portrayed Jesse Knight's father, Samuel, who remained in Levy County, where he was a cattle- man and served as a lay preacher, Jesse and Rebecca were portrayed by Lowell Smith and Carolyn Ellington. Gary Sanderson portrayed the Rev. Charles Oliver Curry. Albee and his wife, Louella, were portrayed by the Rev. George Abosamra and his wife, Diane. Jan Gietek Roderick, the Rev. Charles Oliver Curry's great-grand- daughter, attends the church today. She and her sister Joanne met Bucky Ringo for the first time at the anniversary celebration, although they are all descendants of Jesse Knight. Ringo brought his two granddaughters to the reunion. "They would be great-great-great-great- granddaughters of Jesse Knight," Hightower said.

TREES FROM PAGE 1 Michelle said. Her brother and sister work there, too. The business has grown from just the two of them to a full cadre of 150 employees, including designers and landscape architects and workers who water, prune and weed the plants on this 150-acre tree farm and nursery that has 90 acres in full production. Giving The Hazeltines believe in giving back and are no- table in the community. For example, they donate the flowers at the Main Street entrance to the city of Venice and maintain them. And for several years, they donated poin- settias to decorate the median along West Venice Avenue at Christmastime. Michelle is president of the Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County board of directors and is a board member of the South County Family YMCA. Stephen is a member of the board of trustees for Selby Gardens and worked with them in designing the new Children's Rain Forest. "We did the installation drawings based on their designer's concept," Michelle said. Christmas trees Hazeltine Nursery had 300 Christmas trees for sale this year, and on Dec. 12 had about 50 left. "We've been selling Christmas trees for seven years," Michelle said. She said the nursery is able to keep the trees fresh because they're stored in a greenhouse that has overhead sprinklers, and the trees are watered daily. Regular Christmas tree customers make selecting a tree a family affair at Hazeltine Nursery. One woman buys a 10-foot tree from them every year and they work at getting it into the back seat of her Mini Cooper. In another family of four, the parents started out buying their trees there and now bring their two children to help with the selection. Hazeltine also has a but- terfly garden where classes are taught by horticulturists from University of Florida and Sarasota County Extension Service twice a year. Plants for sale include annuals, perennials and various tree varieties, such as lemon, lime, avocado and Florida peach. Some people like to wait until near Christmas to pick out a tree, and those people might find just what they're looking for at Hazeltine Nursery: a family of growers.

I was struck by the headline as well as the image of Lyfe, a 3-year- old receiving treatment for cancer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital where, according to its adver- tisement in the New York Times "Giving" Section, "his family will never receive a bill for hous- ing, treatment or food. Because the only thing they should worry about is helping him live."

Except to take into consideration what mission matters most to you and your family at that time. Last year Rhoda and I were looking for a place to give in remembrance of a friend who had died of cancer and chose St Jude's. Dave loved children all his life, so what could be more appropriate? Wherever you decide to give and whatever amount you decide, you want to be sure your charitable dollars are being deployed effec- tively. I can remember discussions not that long ago about how much is going to a charity's overhead, but recently according to experts the focus has shifted to a charity's results. Even well-known orga- nizations like Charity Navigator, which grants star ratings to charities, has said it is working to change its ratings to in- clude more results-driv- en factors. This could mean sending your money to distant lands where even small dollar amounts can bring sizable results for people living in extreme poverty. Looking for a Friend?

He went on to say that a dollar could do 10 times more good if sent to a charitable cause working in a Third World country than here in America: $1.98 can provide a person in East Africa with safe drinking water through chlorine dispens- ers for a year. In the December issue of SRQ there is an article titled "Holiday Giving" reporting how local philanthropy affects global giving. "After relieving Amazon flood victims in Peru and witnessing the devastation of landslide in the Andes last year," Sarasota's Alan Monroe said, he stopped caring so much about his iPhone. "You never look at the trivial things of life the same after you've helped people who have noth- ing," said Monroe, who is director of volunteer programs for ShelterBox USA, an international charity program based in Lakewood Ranch that has responded to more than 200 disasters in 90 countries supplying homeless families with tents and survival gear and an activity pack for children. "It's a humbling life-changing experience," he said. "The plane ride home moves a lot faster than your soul." Closer to home, his group assisted Oklahoma tornado victims last July. "After a family has lost everything, to see a child running through a ShelterBox tent, playing with a kite and being a kid again puts everything into perspective," he said. I think of the box for Our Mother's House at the Venice Public Library on the island collecting toys for the tots of single mothers. Rhoda picked out a stuffed toy, and we hope it will light up the eyes of the child who receives it, just as good people of all faiths light up the hearts of all those in need and follow God's central commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Happy Holidays, and thank you for your gracious comments. Shalom.

AJC has impact on Florida's west coast FROM AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE Decades after the Holocaust, many Jews remain wary about Germany and Germans, but American Jewish Committee (AJC) has never shied away from a challenge. For more than 25 years, AJC has main- tained a relationship with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a leading German political organization, to overcome this history and facilitate dialogue between Germans and American Jews at the highest levels. This past spring, influ- ential lay leaders from the West Coast Florida region traveled with Brian Lipton, director, AJC West Coast Florida, to Berlin, where they had a rare opportunity to meet with high-ranking officials of the German government. For many, it was their first experience in modern Germany, and it offered them the chance to advocate for enhanced cooperation between the European Union and Israel and the need to combat the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. With a global network of 30 offices and 32 international partners on five continents, AJC has unparalleled access to senior diplomats, policymakers and faith leaders in the U.S. and in more than 100 nations. Whether it is audiences with the pope or the king of Jordan, or private meetings with U.S. senators, the prime minister of Israel or the chancellor of Germany, AJC is there. Donations are accept- ed to further the work of AJC. Visit: AJC.org.

"Last season's world-premiere received unprecedented com- munity support and it became clear that this personalized rendition of a holiday classic would become a local favorite," said lain Webb, director of The Sarasota Ballet. Performances are anticipated to sell out quickly. "It's rare that a com- pany is able to perform a ballet that has such a unique connection to the audience members," Webb said. "I'm thrilled that we're performing it again, and so is the company." "John Ringling's Circus Nutcracker" draws on Sarasota's close connec- tion with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and espe- cially on John Ringling's love for his wife, Mable. Adapting Hoffmann's 120-year-old original storyline, the ballet follows a little girl (Clara) who runs away with the circus to Sarasota. Set in the art deco period of the 1930s, characters from Hoffman's original "Nutcracker" are re-imag- ined as celebrated circus figures from the city's past. This circus-themed ballet was brought to life by international chore- ographer Matthew Hart, with set and costume de- signs by award-winning designer Peter Docherty. Sarasota Orchestra will perform Tchaikovsky's full score. The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is at 777 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. There is a pre-matinee cir- cus-themed family lunch at noon Saturday followed by a matinee performance at 2 p.m. The evening perfor- mance will begin at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 941- 359-0099, ext. 1, or visit: SarasotaBallet.org.

I I --. - 40 The Sun Classified-Section A Page 2 E/N/C/V ads.yoursunnet Saturday, December 21, 2013 True British sports cars are fun he two true sports cars featured in today's column weren't very practical, however they sure were and still are fun to drive. Way back in 1950, I bought a brand new TD roadster and at the time other people who owned English autos always waved at each other. A few years later that tradi- tion pretty much stopped but the fun in driving them continues. Just ask 71-year-old Punta Gorda resident Ted Boiman, owner of the British Racing Green 1953 MG, about his experiences of motoring about Southwest Florida. He'll quickly smile then tell you of the easy ten- sion-relieving pleasure he gets behind the wheel, shifting through its smooth 4-speed trans- mission and listening to the rumble of the exhaust. Ted has owned a Sunbeam Alpine, Triumph Spitfire, three Datsun Z models, three MGBs, an Alpha Romeo Spider, plus three early Mustangs. His everyday driver is a red 2005 Mustang convertible. This talented man does much of the mainte- nance himself and enjoys doing it. Ted found his TD on the Internet about two years ago, for sale in Philadelphia, Pa. After looking at photos and learning some history he bought it and had it shipped home. When the TD arrived, there wasn't any top nor side a I ..~fl~t Don andflULee ~1sflIh~oyston curtains and the paint was terrible, in addition to oil leaks "every- where." An ongoing restoration is correcting most problems. Some body work and a com- plete paint job resulted in the MG looking great. The standard 1250 cc, 73-horsepower engine was rebuilt just prior to Ted's purchase and appears to be excellent. Those rare 15-inch, knock-off wire wheels were installed on only a few late production 1953 TDs. This type were designed and used on 1954/55 TF series and because of them being on the car when he first saw pictures of it, their good looks convinced him this was the MG to own. Ted says it is definite- ly a keeper! He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and earned his degrees in finance. Ted worked for several large firms before creating a company to advise individuals and dis- tressed businesses. He lived and worked in Europe two years while breaking in a new Triumph. Later, he sold his business and moved to Florida in 1998. He's been divorced for years but helped raise two 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II Roadster. daughters who attended Harvard, Yale and Duke Medical School. There are four grandchildren. Look for him next to the MG at auto events. Green Jag Surely by now from the quick glance if you are a car fancier, you'll recognize the Willow Green Roadster as a Jaguar XKE. The sleek body lines from the front bumper to the tail pipe tips make this one of the most desired sports cars worldwide. I remember a wealthy gentleman who lived near us in Baltimore County, Md., taking delivery of the first 1962 sold by Foreign Motors of Towson. That dealer was also in the Baltimore suburbs and had advance orders for all he could get from people who saw mag- azine picture ads. Talk about love at first sight! The sporty elegant look is timeless and waiter VwalI roraza owner of the'69 Jag. its performance was and remains very fast. This particular Jag is an early 1969 Series II with a 265-horsepower, 6-cylinder engine, double overhead cam shafts and dual car- buretors. Front and rear brakes are disc type with the rear ones located inboard next to the differential. Using a rear gear ratio of 3.07 and a basic weight of 2,912 pounds helps cre- ate rapid acceleration with a top speed at just over 150 mph The owner, Port Charlotte resident Walt Podraza, 66, always admired XKE Jags. When he heard of this one being traded to a BMW dealer in Kenmore, N.Y., Walt drove there and found the mileage was only 28,000, and made a quick deal. That was in 1985. Twenty-eight years later, the odometer shows 67,800. During that time period all but the rear end components and Interior of the1969 Jaguar XKE Series II. parts. A digital distrib- utor and a one-wire alternator were added for reliability. Otherwise the car is 100 percent stock original. In 1994 it was repainted the same color when new and still remains quite presentable. All the chrome, including those handsome wire wheels is excellent. Mr. Podraza was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., and was employed many years as a Teamster truck driver for two national companies. He won a prestigious award for safe driving from both firms before retiring and moving full time to Florida in 2010. Walt also owns a 1972 Datsun 240Z he's had for 36 years that's with his daughter in Western New York State. Other hobbies include 1988 and 1996 Harley cycles as well as dining out with his longtime significant other, Monica Moore.

Is stopping and restarting at lights worth the fuel savings? Dear Tom and Ray: About once a week, my boyfriend and I drive to a nearby city, about 150 miles round trip. When we go together, he drives my Toyota Yaris. He insists on shutting off the engine at every stoplight, which he says improves gas mileage. I say it's dangerous; it's going to require a new starter sooner rather than later; and it upsets the drivers behind him as they wait for him to start up the car when the light turns green. On the weeks he doesn't drive the car, my mileage is about 41-42 miles per gallon, and on the weeks he does drive my car, the mileage is about 40-41 mpg. So, does shutting off the engine at stoplights improve gas mileage, and is it worth it? Terry TOM: Yes, and proba- bly not. It certainly does save fuel when you turn off the engine at stop- lights. That's why hybrids and newer cars are coming equipped with automatic "stop/start" features. RAY: What does stop/ start do? It turns off the engine when you stop at a light and turns it back on for you the moment CLICK and CLACK TALK CARS IV TTom&RaMafozl ^ A.-A . B0cauOe anyone who owns a car needs a laugh. you take your foot off the brake to save fuel. TOM: So why isn't your mileage better when your boyfriend drives, then? Probably because he's got a lead foot the rest of the time. He likely accelerates harder than you do, and drives faster. And that's costing you more in mileage than he's saving by shutting down the engine at stoplights. RAY: But there's no question that running the engine less uses less fuel. We used to hear people cite the myth that it takes more fuel to restart the car than it does to keep it running while you're waiting at a light. That's nonsense. TOM: Engineers say stop/start technology can add about 5 percent to fuel economy, give or take, depending on how much stop-and-go driving is done. RAY: But the cars that come equipped with stop/start features have something your Yaris doesn't have: heavy-duty starters that are designed to make hundreds of starts a day rather than the five or 10 starts your starter typically handles. TOM: So I suspect, in your case, any money El Boyfriend saves on your fuel bill will eventually be eaten up by the cost of a new starter. RAY: So here's our advice: When you're stopping for, say, two minutes or more, turn off the engine. That means you won't turn it off at every traffic light. But you will turn it off if one of you runs into a store, or when you get stuck while one of those six- mile-long freight trains full of bulgur wheat crosses the road in front of you. TOM: And suggest to your boyfriend that he go a little lighter on the pedal. Going 65 instead of 70 or 75 will save quite a bit of fuel, as will accelerating gently away from stoplights. RAY: Because if his real goal were to save fuel rather than annoy you and the people in cars behind him, the proof would be in the mileage numbers. And he's not making his case. The reasoning behind shifter placement Dear Tom and Ray: General Motors recently unveiled the 2015 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon. The three SUVs continue to have the gear shifter posi- tioned on the steering column instead of the floor-mounted center console, like the Traverse, Equinox and Acadia. Is this solely a cosmetic design decision, or is there an automotive en- gineering reason for this choice? Thanks. Bob TOM: It's partially cos- metic, partially historic and partially practical. RAY: The practical reason is that putting the shifter on the steering column leaves more room for a large center console between the seats. People like to use center consoles to store all their stuff. TOM: Not just cups of coffee and quarters for parking, but, increas- ingly, purses, bags of Cheetos, laptop comput- ers and the occasional medium-size household pet. RAY: And some of these center consoles - like the Suburban's - have gotten so big that you can rest your lunch tray on top of it and stash a backup Chevy Spark inside for when you're tired of getting 16 miles to the gallon. TOM: Putting the shifter on the steering column also gives Chevy the option of offering a bench seat up front instead of two bucket seats. A bench seat - with the proper seat belts and all allows three people to sit across, instead of two. So instead of carrying only eight people, and having to ask the other team to pitch to themselves, you can carry a full baseball team in your Suburban. RAY: In terms of engi- neering, it really doesn't matter where you put the shifter. It can go almost anywhere, within reason. You just need to have some way to transmit the position of the shifter to the transmission itself. TOM: That can be done with a cable, with rods or, these days, with an electronic signal. RAY: The final issue is historic precedent. The column shifter was a staple for many decades. And apparently there is a group of buyers that still like it that way. TOM: Well, I don't want to speak for them. But everybody knows you can't snuggle in the front seat with a gear shift in the way. RAY: Well, you can. You just can't snuggle pain-free. You want to buy a used car, but how do you find a good one? Tom and Ray can help! Order "How to Buy a Great Used Car: Secrets Only Your Mechanic Knows."

Realistic optimism. Embracing that glass-is-half-full view of the world, while willing to acknowledge its chal- lenges, can increase your happiness quotient, help you live more healthfully and roll back your RealAge. Thankfully, you don't have to act like Pollyanna or recite wimpy affirmations like "Saturday Night Live's" Stuart Smalley (who was good enough, smart enough and doggone it, people liked him!) to get all the benefits that come from feeling more hopeful and less stressed. They include: A healthier ticker. Even if you're at high risk for heart disease because of a genetic predisposition, family history, high lousy LDL cho- lesterol or elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, living with a sense of hope and well-being can lower your odds for heart disease by 30 percent to 50 percent. If you've already had a heart attack, optimism can help you stay on track with exercise and lower your odds for dying within five years after a cardiac event by a whopping 40 percent. Better blood fats. Optimism nudged levels of healthy HDL choles- terol upward and pushed levels of heart-threatening triglycerides down, accord- ing to another new report. Highly optimistic people had HDLs four points higher than gloomier folks - enough to reduce their heart disease risk 12 percent. Improved decision- making. Optimism enhances your ability to make good decisions under stress, a skill that can help you say "no, thanks" to a coffee-break doughnut on a tough day at work, "yes" to exercise (rather than chips, the couch and the TV remote) when you're tense. And that means you'll be better at solving whatever challenges life throws your way. Stronger immunity. A bright outlook boosts an important defense against disease called "cell-mediated immunity." How important is it? Very! This part of your immune system controls your body's ability to fight invading bacteria and viruses, and helps battle some cancer cells. Stroke protection. A hopeful outlook can cut your risk for a life-threat- ening, mind-damaging "brain attack"by 10 percent or more. Why? Because positive people are more Dr. Mehemet Oz & Dr. Michael Roizen likely to get exercise and eat healthfully, sleep better and feel less stressed all life- style activities that reduce the risk of stroke. But it may be something more than that. Optimism all by itself bolsters health in ways that remain mysterious. A longer life and younger RealAge. A healthy old age isn't just a result of good genes. New data show that North America's longest- living citizens share a zest for life they're easygoing, upbeat and social. So if you're ready to gain those benefits of optimism, here are a few easygoing steps that can help you over to the sunny side. Think loving thoughts. A short "loving kindness" meditation (you focus on feelings of love and com- passion for yourself and others) increases optimism and makes you feel more connected to those around you; spending time with friends is another import- ant mood booster. Feeling good? Go deeper. People who pay attention to and enhance their positive emotions are more able to overcome tough times. Perhaps turning up the volume on good feelings builds a reservoir of joy to see you through life's chal- lenges. Try noticing when you feel playful, serene or spiritually uplifted, and then ask yourself how you can heighten that feeling. It's fun! Keep it real. Having unrealistically positive expectations or glossing over problems instead of solving them can backfire, triggering low moods. See positive challenges instead of threats. Resilient people attack problems in everyday life like a plumber who knows he's got a well-stocked toolbox and plenty of experience when dealing with situations like a leaky pipe. The job may be wet and dirty, but he has the confidence to meet the challenge and leave things dry and clean. Try to consciously make this positive mind shift when you feel defensive, threatened or worried about failure. Just remind- ing yourself to think more positively is often all it takes, science says.

I brought "my" kitten home after being spayed and microchipped. The instructions were to try to keep her from jumping. To keep her from trying to leap on and off the bed, I placed a two-step stepstool next to one side of the bed. I only needed to show her once how to walk up and down, and she has been using it ever since. This is a good hint for other pet owners whose pets are sick or are recovering from surgery. L.W, via email Grinding coffee Dear Heloise: I recently purchased a large bag of coffee beans at a local big-box store. As I left, I forgot to grind the beans in their grinder. Realizing that it would take forever to grind with my little coffee grinder, I used my food processor's short metal blade and was able to grind the coffee to just the way we like. Jackie H. in Texas I've done the same thing when I received some cof- fee beans as a gift. I used my blender, and it did the job. Coffee is such a tasty drink, with so many types to choose from and different ways to flavor it. I start my day with a cup or two and wrote a pamphlet about coffee! Heloise's Flavored Coffees and Teas is filled with delicious recipes and fun facts.

Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279- 5001. Remember, put leftover coffee grounds in the trash or out in the compost pile, but NEVER down the garbage dispos- al! Heloise Kid safety Dear Heloise: Another idea for parents taking children to amusement parks, zoos, etc.: If the child is given a wristband, write your cellphone number on it. If not, make sure the child knows the number. If the child is separated from the parents, she should look for another mother with children and ask that mom to call the parents. We always say to find an employee, but often they're not readily accessible or are busy. There always are mothers around who will help. A friend's pediatrician recommended this. - Grandmother of Seven, via email UI-Il; i' A us6Tcs VWTES\ wror- ~eAlS WE^L I"- aI I kI l I I I FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE By Lynn Johnston eia uSN A r| TUHF1ONR KV ?

She has had a smartphone for about a year. While I don't belong to any social media sites, Lainie is a social media junkie. She never goes anywhere without her phone. Sometimes she'll have her phone in one hand and her tablet in the other, taking turns when one or the other be- gins to bore her. It's almost impossible to interact with her because her face is buried in the virtual world just about every hour of the day and night. I miss the way things used to be before she got that smartphone. I have talked about this with my parents. While they are equally concerned about Lainie's withdrawn, some- times secretive behavior, they never do anything about it. What are your thoughts on this topic? - GADGET GIRLS SISTER IN NEW MEXICO DEAR SISTER: It's com- mon for teens to spend a lot of time on their phones and computers. But when they become withdrawn and secretive, it is time for a parental intervention. If your folks are equally concerned about your sister's behavior, they should step in, find out what's going on and do something about it, if necessary. If they don't already, they could start by scheduling family dinners during which cellphones are turned off or put away. DEAR ABBY: Christmas is nearly here, and I'm concerned about my brother. I'm afraid he blames himself for his 28-year-old daughter's suicide, which was by no means his fault. This will be his first Christmas with- out her. I don't know what to do for him. Any sugges- tions? CHALLENGED IN MICHIGAN DEAR CHALLENGED: When a close family member commits suicide, it is common for survivors to experience a range Dear Abby of emotions. Anger and guilt are two of them. If possible, encourage your brother to spend Christmas with you or other relatives. You should also suggest he join a survivors support group. The American Association of Suicidology provides referrals to local self-help groups for survi- vors of suicide. Its website is www.suicidology.org. If he joins one, it will give him a place to talk about his feelings with people who will understand because they have them, too. DEAR ABBY: A long time ago, I was dating and living with a wonderful woman. I was arrested and went to jail for possession of cocaine. She then had an order of protection issued against me for one year. That was 10 years ago. I have been clean from drugs ever since. She has a child with another man now, and I hope every- thing is great. My problem is, I can't get her out of my mind. I miss her so much and just want the chance to be with her. Any ad- vice? HEARTBROKEN IN NEWYORK DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Your former girlfriend has gone on with her life, and your relationship is ancient history. If she had been willing to forgive you, she wouldn't have taken out the restraining order. If you want to be successful in moving forward in your life, stop looking backward. It's time to focus on your future. 'And some of the Pharisees from among the mul- titude said unto Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And He answered and said unto them. I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."- Luke 19:39, 40 God is going to be heard from through one means or another and man will listen, though sad to say, in many cases it will be too late. In the meantime God's people must not hold their peace when there is so little of it in the world. I HOROSCOPE I ARIES (March 21 -April 19). No, it's not an accidental social moment. The person talking loudly enough for you to overhear really wants you to take notice and is actually hoping for a future friendship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Environments have emotional weather, and you're like an expert me- teorologist, observing people's physical and subtle indicators to predict the next change in mood. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Grade-school children may not have the confidence to find out whether phase. Instead of the roundabout way of getting information, you'll go right to the source. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ifyou behave as a mature adult, you shouldn't have to put up with regularly occurring hissy fits and a pattern of pas- sive-aggressive behavior from other people. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).You are at your best when you aren't worrying too much about whether or not you're doing the right thing, the smart thing or the thing you're passionate about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As long as you're significant progress. You're in a different place from where you were. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll be up for a job. That you can do this job is a given. So while others work at being perceived as credible and responsible, you'll start with "likeable and fun"and go from there. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Are your hunches pro- phetic? You'll never know unless you act on them. A particularly strong inkling either will pan outwithin the next three days or not at all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Learning about on social media is about as effective as stalking a person with Google Earth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).You'll be rewarded for the efforts you make. Sometimes the difference between winning and losing the race boils down to inches and seconds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For this day to play out the way you want it to, you're going to have to find more common ground with the people you wish to influence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).You have something so-and-so likes them, but you've long passed that progressing, don't dwell on whether or not this is you earned it so long ago that you are now taking it for granted -perhaps even complaining about it. TODAY'S BIRTHDAY(Dec. 21). So what ifyou're susceptible to flattery? You deserve to be admired, so soak it up. Next month alters your professional landscape most favorably. February brings financial resources, and you'll work toward a domestic scene that supports your changing ideals and emerging values. The most romantic month is May. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12,42,20,19 and 35.

Nash Venice High appeared to be in the market for a new football coach for a few hours Dec. 14. A hacker commandeered Venice High football coach John Peacocks Facebook account last Saturday and posted a status announcing his resignation and criticizing the schools administration. The message was taken down once Peacock realized what had happened, and the coach said he didnt know how his account was hacked. Sarasota County Schools Director of Communications and Community Relations Gary Leatherman said aside from using rewalls to prevent teachers from accessing social media sites with district technology during school hours, the school district is minimally involved in instances like this. We do provide staff with information about the potential downside of being involved in social media, Leatherman said. But since most staff Facebook accounts are private, we have very little direct control over Coachs Facebook account hackedBy ROB SMITHSPORTS EDITOR SUN PHOTO BY JUSTIN FENNELLVenice High football coach John Peacock talks to an o cial during his teams game against Largo Oct. 18.FACEBOOK | 11 The moral of this story, Anne Coyle said, is dont put your blind, deaf dog outside unless hes on his lead. Not that Brady the poodle goes outside very often, with or without his lead, other than to do his numbers, she said. But late one night last week was one of those times. When she went to let him in, he wasnt at the door of their South Harbor Drive home. She went out barefoot, in her nightgown, ashlight in hand, to try to nd him. Husband Bill got in the car and searched the adjacent streets on the island. No luck. Worry turned to panic. I started thinking about all the coyotes and all that stuff thats out there that could prey on a little dog, Anne said. So she decided to call 911. The operator said shed refer it to the Venice Police Department, but couldnt promise help would be coming. It did, though, in the Amazingly, dog is found By BOB MUDGESENIOR WRITERBlind, deaf, lost in a ditchWho do you call?

Hanna, who has a condominium in Venice, wasnt taking it easy, however. The high energy wildlife expert was the star attraction on Wednesday in downtown Venice at Barclays Pharmacy where a commercial for a pet supplement was being lmed. Hanna was endorsing Cosequin, a joint supplement that supports cartilage production, developed by Nutramax Laboratories. Hannas endorsements are featured prominently on the companys website. The commercial will air nationally in 15and 30-second segments, beginning early next year, said Melissa Weiss, Natl TV star, animal expert films in VeniceBy GREG GILESNEWS EDITOR SUN PHOTO BY GREG GILESWildlife expert Jack Hanna signs an autograph Wednesday. He was at Barclays Pharmacy in Venice lming a pet supplement commercial.TV STAR | 11 The Venice Planning Commission this week approved a big box development, retail and up to 650 homes on 51 acres of vacant land in North Venice. Owners of the former Renaissance property on the northeast corner of Laurel Road and Knights Trail Road sought the rezone approval for the mixed-use project. While supportive, the commission, ended up holding one of its longest and most contentious meetings of the year. The issue: whether to grant 11 additional land uses, like a school and arena, that were asked for by the developer, or make the developer seek approval for whatever special exception is necessary down the road when the property owner knows exactly what will be built. Without having a specic development in mind, commissioners were unwilling to essentially write a blank check for the developer to build whatever the market will bear. My concern is whether this is good zoning, good planning, and in compliance with the Up to 650 homes possible for landBy GREG GILESNEWS EDITORHOMES | 7 A Port Charlotte High School graduate has been placed on the FBI most wanted list. Edly Albert Atherley II is being sought in connection with the violent death of his wife at their home in San Bernardino, Calif. Authorities suspect Atherley, 29, of killing Ashley Atherley, 28, who was found with her throat slashed Dec. 1. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for infor mation leading to Edlys arrest. The FBI bulletin also warns that Edly, whom the bulletin calls a convicted felon, should be considered armed and dangerous, and possibly suicidal. Police believed Edly was still in the San Bernardino area, but there is a chance he has made passage back to Southwest Florida, having grown up in Port Charlotte. His wife also has family in Hillsborough County, Fla., where the couple lived for a time before moving to California earlier this year. In addition, the FBI said Edly has ties to Belize in Central America, where he reportedly has family and friends. Identifying marks on Edly include a large, gashtype wound on his right hand, an abrasion to his right forearm, and a tattoo on his right shoulder, the FBI stated. According to media reports, Edly was last seen Dec. 4 while attempting to buy a train ticket, but ran off after being identied by a security ofcer. Charlotte County Sheriffs spokeswoman Debbie Bowe said she wants the community to know the Sheriffs Ofce is following the manhunt closely. At this point, neither we nor the San Bernardino authorities have any information that would indicate Edly is in Charlotte County, or that he is headed here, Bowe said Thursday. Edly has a history of domestic violence-related arrests, starting in Port Charlotte. In February 2005, at age 20, Edly was charged with domestic battery, according to CCSO records. A second arrest, in November 2008, occurred in Brandon, east of Tampa. In both misdemeanor cases, charges were dropped, according to both Charlotte and Hillsborough court records. In the 2005 Port Charlotte case, court records show Edly went through a pretrial-diversion program, which includes batterers intervention classes. The State Attorneys Ofce then dropped the charges after Edly completed the program later that year. San Bernardino police believe Edly killed his wife sometime between Nov. 29 and Dec 1, before going on the run, the San Bernardino Sun reported. Police were called to check on her welfare Dec. 1. Family members said the two had been estranged for a few months. The couple have two children together, but they reportedly were not in the home at the time of the murder. Earlier this week, Ashleys family laid her to rest in a funeral service in the Tampa Bay area.Port Charlotte High grad makes FBIs Top 10By GARY ROBERTSSTAFF WRITER ATHERLEYThe FBI is offering a $10,000 reward.

Florida Lottery www.flalottery.comSome people think the holiday season has become too commercial and that the real spirit of Christmas has been lost. Hum-bug! This notion is only true if you allow it to be. This season, Venice Area Beautication, Inc. again put on a community tree lighting ceremony at West Blalock Park. The Venice Arboretum, with an array of trees and palms, was aglow with twinkling lights. Last year, more than 50 trees were decorated. This year, it is estimated that number was even higher. About 500 people showed up for the event, which featured entertainment, crafts for the kids, and snacks and beverages a good, old fashioned Christmas celebration. At 6 p.m., Mayor John Holic led the countdown to turning on the lights adorning the community Christmas tree. This was followed by the sequential lighting of the decorated trees throughout the park.

This event will honor all current and previous members United States military forces, with this years focus on those who served in World War II. Tickets to the gala will be $12 ahead of time and $15 at the door. The gala will include food and beverages, a swing dance, a silent auction, a display of military paraphernalia and classic cars and a tribute to the Greatest Generation. This event is organized by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice, and proceeds will benet Veterans Housing of Catholic Charities and other Catholic Charities programs that support veterans and their families. In addition, proceeds will also support the Venice Museum and Archives, the B-26 Marauder Historical Society and the American Rosie the Riveters. This gala was inspired by a swing dance held in Michigan in 2010 by the B-26 Marauder Historical Society. Over time, the small swing dance developed into an annual gala that supports veterans, and then, members of the Veterans Gala in Michigan brought the idea to Venice. SunTrust Bank is sponsoring the Veterans Gala for $5,000, and Catholic Charities invites additional corporate sponsorships for $1,000, $500 and $250. Tickets for the Venice Veterans Gala are available at SunTrust Bank at 200 South Nokomis Avenue or online at CatholicCharitiesDOV.org.

Robert Thomas Delarue, 34, of Venice was charged with two counts each of child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a report states, alleging that Delarue brought the children along during an effort to retrieve enough Xanax from local pharma cies in order to pay back $500 that was owed by his girlfriend. During that time, the kids were exposed to the conversation about the drug debt, the report states. He later left the children unattended at a Venice home for approximately 90 minutes, according to the report, until their mother came to pick them up. Delarue was arrested around 3 p.m. Wednesday and transported to the Sarasota County Jail, where he remains on $100,000 bond. The relationship between Delarue and the children was redacted from the report, as was the number and ages of the children involved.Victim claims escalating battery A Nokomis woman was arrested after the victim claimed she was beaten three times in December. According to a Sarasota County Sheriffs Ofce report: On Dec. 18, Sarah L. Oakley, 35, entered a 57-year-old womans bedroom uninvited and stood over the victim yelling at her. At one point, she allegedly grabbed the victim with both hands around the neck. Authorities say the victim claimed Oakley also was violent with her the day prior to Oakleys arrest and on Dec. 7. Oakley, 700 block of Matland St., Nokomis, was charged with domestic battery.

He is also survived by his seven children from his deceased spouse, Betty DeMunbrun. Having just celebrated his 93rd birthday on Oct. 13, Hal lived a full, complete and interesting life. Raised in Louisville, Ky., he went on to graduate from The Ohio State University, where he also became a letterman in swimming as well as a Phi Delta Theta. He also earned a masters degree in advanced business management from Northeastern University. After a brief time with the FBI, he joined the U.S. Navy, serving on the Battleship Wedderburn and the LST 240 during World War II, and also serving in Korea. He retired as a lieutenant commander and pursued a civilian life as a senior manager with several corporations, including president, Lift Parts MFG Corp; president, Brake Parts Company; president, Casco Corporation; New England manager, American Oil Company; and president, Automotive Division, Standard Thomson Corporation. Retiring in 1986, he moved to Waterford in Venice, Fla., where he resided until 2010.

NashDudley Owen Nash, 89, of Sarasota, Fla., died peacefully Tuesday, Dec.17, 2013, at the Windsor of Venice after a long, debilitating illness. Dudley was born Sept. 10, 1924, in Sherburne, N.Y., to Gladys (Grover) Nash and Dudley Owen Nash Sr. He graduated from Pelham Manor High School in Sherburne, N.Y., and joined the U.S. Navy in 1942, serving in the engine rooms of ships and performing triage on the wounded in the Battle of Normandy and at other signicant battle sites. Dudley received an honorable discharge from the Navy after World War II in 1946. After graduating from Bliss Electrical School in Washington, D.C., in 1947, Dudley attended the State University of New York Maritime College from 1949 to 1950. He received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1953. After graduating from MIT, Dudley joined Sperry Gyroscope in Pittseld, Mass., where he received his rst patent, for a design in aircraft navigating radar. The majority of Dudleys career was spent at General Electric in Cincinnati, Ohio, from which he retired after 40 years. As a principal engineer at GE, he worked on the design of jet engines, obtaining 44 patents related primarily to exhaust engines. He was appointed to GEs Design Board, and among his other accomplishments in the world of aircraft engines, he contributed to the success of GEI, US/FRG and F101 engine programs. Dudley was a night owl. According to him, Late at night, I did my best work. Often, thoughts seem to come into focus, and I begin to sketch out a problem we have been mulling over at work. I look at it from every angle, and what seems at rst to be wild and unlikely turns out to be the right answer. Dudley married his rst wife, Gertrude Trudy Skwierawsky, in 1952; she preceded him in death in 1988. Dudley married his second wife, Vera Ramstetter, in 1989 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They retired to Florida in 2007. In his spare time, Dudley enjoyed bicycling, swimming, skiing and ballroom dancing. He believed in the value and trust of people, admired hard workers and never hesitated to recog nize their signicance and the support they offered to the betterment of society. Dudley is survived by his wife, Vera, and his children, Charles Grover (Martha) Nash of Loveland, Ohio, Elizabeth Martha Nash (Robert) Knox of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Patricia Marie Nash (Steven) Greenberg of New York and Janet Louise (Kevin) Sing of New York; as well as grandchildren Mabel Nash Greenberg and Violet Nash Greenberg, both of New York, and Paige, Leslie and David Nash, all of Loveland, Ohio.

That question will remain unanswered. The State Attorneys Ofce this week dismissed charges against a city of Venice code enforcement inspector after he removed an advertising sign from the back of an open hatchback. Earlier this year, Larry Hakes, of Palm Barber Shop in the Venice Mall (KMI Building), used his creative advertising idea to attract customers. He said it brought in 65 percent of his business. Inspector John Patek determined that wasnt allowed. Coincidently, the city was in the midst of revising its sign laws. Leaving a commercial sign inside an open hatchback is now prohibited. After Pateks three visits with Hake, the barber had had enough. Hake led trespass charges against Patek for entering his vehicle. Patek maintained he was only doing his job. Pateks employer, too, determined it was out of line, and directed him to replace the sign, which was thrown in the trash. Patek refused and was docked three days pay. Another employee had the sign recreated and delivered to Hake, who said he had enough city harassment and put the sign in storage. The city refused to provide an attorney to represent Patek, so he hired his own. Whats fair is fair. He didnt do anything wrong, said Robert Harrison, Pateks attorney. If it was in a locked car, (hed have to) get a court order. A 12th Circuit Court judge ordered mediation, but that never took place, Harrison said. He believes Hake wasnt interested in pursuing the legal action any further partly because the matter brought attention to other alleged code violations found at the barber shop. Patek has since led a grievance against the city for docking his pay. That has yet to go to arbitration. The city union has its own process for handling arbitrations, said Administrative Director Allen Bullock. They have not indicated yet whether they will move forward with this arbitration. In a report, Bullock laid out the city concerns with Pateks actions. Patek defended those actions. The citys charges against me are nebulous, ambiguous, and false, Patek said. The charges claim that I removed a legal sign which it is not; that there was a sign code moratorium in effect, which there was not; and that I was uncooperative with the police, which is totally false. I immediately provided them with copies of the prohibited sign code section, photo of the vehicle with sign in the tailgate, the section of the Code Enforcement (statutes) and job description relating to enforcement of the sign code. Protocol calls for the code enforcement ofcer to rst speak with the violator and educate them about the subject code, which is exactly what I did, but Mr. Hakes continued to display his unlawful sign in deance anyway. Patek said removing the sign was a matter of safety. Two weeks prior to the incident, I read about a motorcyclist in Inverness, Florida who was killed when a portable sign was blown in front of him. How do you think the city would respond if I did nothing and a pedestrian was hurt or a child injured by this sign blowing out the back of his car? When I removed that sign, the furthest thing from my mind was that I was breaking any law, Patek said.Email: ggiles@venicegondolier.comNo prosecution for code enforcement officer in sign flapBy GREG GILESNEWS EDITOR 480498 480964 Our core philosophy at Help at Home is to provide that peace of mind to you and your family by offering the very best in private home health care.

Youve asked for things normally (obtained through the) special exception (process). Commercial, multi-family is whats in the comp plan. Im concerned about the refueling stations, automotive centers, houses of worship, child care centers, schools, infant care centers, an arena Land use attorney Jeff Boone, representing the owner and contract pur chaser, said the commer cial, mixed use zone with additional uses would give the owner the greatest amount of exibility for developing the property when it comes along. Two commissioners supported granting that exibility. I think this is exactly the philosophical reason (behind) the CMU, said Commissioner Helen Moore. To me, this is going from pure industrial to pure residential and its a wonderful transition. Yes, I wouldnt want to live next to some of the uses listed here but I dont know how we can parcel these out one by one. Commissioner John Williams said time was of the essence, and seeking special exceptions takes additional time. I look at this list (of uses). I am not embar rassed with any of these businesses. All of these belong in a community, in my opinion, Williams said. The remaining commissioners opposed the idea. I think it would be a big mistake for us to grant everything on this list, said Commissioner Charles Newsom. Commissioner Shaun Graser urged the board to be critical in its evaluation of the proposal. Im really struggling with so many of the uses in this area uses that we will live with, Graser said. If they want to come back and do the right thing ask for a special exception they can get them. The commission approved the rezone from Commercial General to Commercial Mixed Use at Tuesdays meeting, but not the additional uses. The 50.68 acre parcel was previously part of a larger 73-acre parcel approved for a Walmart, hotel and residential units but those plans died with the previous economic downturn. The original Renaissance property owner defaulted, putting the property back in the hands of the lender, OB Waterford LLC, an Orion Bank entity, until Orion went out of business. Iberia Bank currently owns the property. The contract purchaser is Vanguard Land LLC, a corporation led by developer John Peshkin. Commissioners had good things to say about Peshkins developments and especially his willingness to convene a committee of area residents from nearby Willow Chase and the Venetian Golf & River Club. The committee was supportive of the project, although some community members testied at Tuesdays meeting that granting the additional uses might have unintended consequences. Peshkins Toscana Isles project was approved ear lier this year. The Toscana residential subdivision just north of the property peeled off 21 acres of the Renaissance property. Peshkins new project approved this week is being called Portono. Portonos plan is for more intensive commer cial uses for the western half of the property (25 acres) nearest Knights Trail Road, less intensive retail shops in the middle 20 acres, and residential in the northeastern 5 acres. Technically, the applicant received approval for 650 residential dwelling units and 425,000 square feet of commercial, retail, ofce and service uses. Under the CMU, a big box store is still a possibility. Technically, the property could also end up an all-residential subdivision, although Boone said thats unlikely. City staff noted a previous trafc analysis conducted for the site would need to be revisited once the development exceeds anticipated trafc.

OUR VIEWOur holiday message to group attacking Detert back offHere is our message to the deep-pocketed bullies of Americans for Prosperity: Lay off Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice. Your campaign to discredit her and intimidate other moderate Florida Republicans is ignorant and dishonest. We are offended. Local voters of all parties in her district should be offended. Take your smear tactics back home ASAP. Detert was targeted recently by the conservative-libertarian political action group begun by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Americans for Prosperity is a 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprot under the U.S. tax codes and advocates for limited government and free markets. Nationally, Americans for Prosperity spent $122 million in 2012 on issue ads that primarily opposed President Obama and congressional Democrats. But Republicans deemed not-conser vative-enough also have been targeted, and Americans for Prosperity has spread its money liberally to inuence state and local affairs. The campaign against Detert involved direct mailings, TV commer cials and Web ads. Earlier mailings criticized her position on charter schools and state pensions. One mailing criticized her vote on expanding Medicaid coverage in Florida. Or, as the group spun it, supporting Obamacares Medicaid Expansion. Detert was, in fact, one of 38 state senators who voted in favor of extending coverage to another 1 million Floridians using federal Medicaid dollars. Only one senator voted against it. Conservative stalwart Gov. Rick Scott also supported the measure, which failed in the House. So why Detert? Im bewildered, and so are my voters here, Detert told us recently. Its like theyre taking every national issue and sticking my face on it. At a big price tag, thanks to New York billionaires. Detert reportedly estimated the campaign against her cost as much as $100,000. She added, Maybe they are adver tising to nd an opponent to me. Maybe. But more likely the group just wants to force Detert and other Republicans to look over their shoulders when voting. The politics of intimidation. Good luck to that. As Detert put it: The only problem is, have you met me? She is a clear-headed and strongwilled Republican veteran, hardly a liberal. Even from a GOP-centric perspective, Detert said, This is like sending the troops to Afghanistan, and the Marines start shooting at the Army. Tactically, she observed, They are trying to push (legislators) over and trying to inuence the rightward drift. We normal Republicans hope they would start their own party. We agree. We also think Detert is wise to take a low-key approach to the smear tactics. Im deliberatively saving my little pittance. The election is a year away, I have no opponent and people dont want to get political mailings (especially, during the Christmas season). We also agree with another of Deterts assessments: To make it so political, they dont know the community, and its not going to work. A tale of two mayorsAre you familiar with Rob Ford, the Toronto mayor whose drug and/or alcohol-fueled tirades have brought his city international attention of the sort no city wants? The guy has admitted to smoking crack and was captured by cellphone camera threatening to commit unspeakable acts on a political enemy and also to kill him. I watched the video, and two questions immediately sprang to mind: one, how did this yutz get elected in the rst place? And two, why cant we be that lucky? If I were a citizen of Toronto, Id be outraged at Fords antics, but speaking strictly as a jour nalist, I can tell you that having a clown like him to write about is like winning the lottery and taking the regular payments instead of the lump sum. Hes a walking, talking annuity. Typically, when a politician gets caught red-handed (or red-nosed), he and his handlers hunker down and, after initial denials, he apologizes and promises to get counseling, go to rehab or do whatever else they think will buy him time until the next scandal erupts and his is forgotten. In very extreme cases, the only option is to resign, but with the expectation of re-emerging in another public career as soon as the smoke clears (because this type of person has attention-decit disorder he cant stand not having attention paid to him). Ford, on the other hand, is deant, as if he thinks using illegal, highly addictive drugs and making death threats are building his resume for higher (sorry) ofce. He did eventually have a good explanation for smoking crack (he said he was probably in one of my drunker stupors), but otherwise is behaving as hes mayor of his own little universe, where reality is what he says it is. Its one thing to deny that you were drunk at a hockey game; its something else entirely to deny that you were even at the game when theres a video recording of you there. Guess which one Ford did, blaming the false report on political opponents. (Isnt para noia a sign of ... you know.) A mayor like that is the gift that keeps on giving. So, again strictly as a journalist, Im envious. I mean, look what we have to work with: John Holic. Now, John is a very nice, very smart man. And he has given us a few kind of sexy stories to write about, like when he brought up whether city taxpayers deserve a break on the part of their taxes that fund the Sheriffs Ofce, since we have our own police force. But as Fords go, John is a Gerald without the clumsiness, not a Rob. Sure, John has his addictions: exercise and barbecue sauce. But if hes threatening to beat you, its almost certainly in a bike race. The only way he would kill you is with kindness. Or possibly cholesterol. He has a sly, dry sense of humor, so I wouldnt put it past him to deny he had been somewhere in spite of photographic evidence, but if he did his eyes would be twinkling, not glazed over. Hes never going to be caught in a drunken stupor in his ofce unless someone spikes his Pepsi. As a Venice taxpayer, thats the kind of mayor I want. But in the eyes of a journalist, hes mayonaise on white bread, having nothing in common with Rob Ford other than that theyre both carbon-based bipeds. And the next couple of weeks are a slow period, newswise. I wonder if Toronto would like to work out a mayor-swapping arrangement.Email: bmudge@venicegondolier.comVenice parks are a big assetEditor: Thank you for publishing my letter about the need for cleanup of Michael Biehl Park. And thanks to the city, (surprisingly) the day before the letter was published, the park palm trash and dead owers were removed. Some bush trimming and the park will be back to its best. I believe the Venice parks are a big asset for the residents and guests. It would be great to have some of our events at the various parks so more people would get to know the individual park amenities.Patrick Keigher VeniceTalk to your childrenEditor: The million word gap is a new concern for educators of young children. This staggering number represents the gap between the number of words heard by children of wealthier families compared to children from low-income households. Since children learn to speak because they are spoken to and spoken language is an important literacy skill, low-income children are at a disadvantage before they even get to kindergarten. As a former frugal mom and current frugal preschool director and grandma, Ive come up with some easy, no-cost ways to bridge this gap. First, families, talk to your children. Engage them in conversation at every opportunity. Use those wasted minutes during the day while riding in the car, waiting in line, bath time, diaper changes, mealtimes, etc. Not only is talk cheap, it is free. Singing counts, too. Take advantage of our wonderful, free library system. Get a library card and one for your child. Take out books and read, read, read to your child. Sign your children up for the Born to Read program. Put the word out to family and friends that youd be delighted to give a good home to any books their kids have outgrown. Most child care centers have a collection of books to lend out. Just ask. High-quality early education is a very worthwhile goal, but families can start immediately, on their own, to improve their childs chances for success without spending a dime.Deborah Whitham VeniceOur area privileged to have Jean CloughEditor: I just want to comment on the very interesting and well-written article by Don Moore on Venices own Jean Clough. What an extraordinary woman we have living here in Venice. I thank her for her outstanding service to our country. She is what makes America and Venice such an amazing place to live.Linda Shreck VeniceHow did the writer develop such contempt?Editor: Its bad enough to harbor feelings of ones superiority to his fellow man. Its quite different to have the audacity to publish these feelings in two area newspapers (in a letter titled Say No To Shelters.) The writer describes herself as a decent person who wonders: What is wrong with you people? I turn that question around to ask the writer: What is wrong with you? How did you become so self-centered? What happened that you coldly developed contempt and disregard for those less fortunate than you? How have you missed the extensive media coverage of todays homeless population, which includes families, single parents with children and college-educated individuals who have been downsized? Sure there are some addicts among them but they are the minority. To suggest that the homeless are degenerates who want to remain dependent on handouts demonstrates total ignorance of todays social reality. There but for the grace of God go you, writer!Rosemary Erstad VeniceI am looking for this particular churchEditor: I would like to attend a Christian Church that operates under the authority and sover eignty of God, our Creator, not incorporated by the state, nor a 501(C)(3), nor uses the corrupt banking system of the world. I would like to fellowship with believers who choose to observe and teach the 10 Commandments, not just 9 Commandments. Man changed the day of rest and worship to Sunday, God didnt. If you do observe Sunday as your Sabbath, do you use it to rest as the Commandment states? Check Strongs concor dance to see how many verses refer to the Sabbath day against the vague verses people use to dismiss and minimize the 4th Commandment. Genesis 2:3, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 31-16, and Exodus 35:2. Is there a church I can worship in that believes Gods Word (red letter) Mark 16:15-18. So many say that healing the sick, casting out devils, speaking in tongues, etc. was only for the time of the Apostles. Searching Gods Word, I nd no time limit imposed on those verses as I nd no time limit imposed on John 3:16. Where is the Church that teaches Baptism in the Holy Spirit as related in the Bible? Some churches teach some of the gifts of the spirit, but not all the gifts as recorded in 1 Cor: 12:8-11. Why some and not all? Is it a lack of faith that we do not see them taught and exercised? Shall we ignore John 1:33, 14:12-18, 16:7, Acts 2:17, 10:44-48, 19:1-6? I would like to nd a New Testament Church.

Please respond to the Let Em Have It Line.Kathy Bolam VeniceThere is more to learn about JFKs true killerEditor: It appears that hundreds of books have been written about Lincoln, his life and his assassination. At the same time, it is beginning to become apparent that very nearly as many books about the assassination of John F. Kennedy have now been written with no end in sight and while there has never been doubt as to who killed Lincoln, there is plenty of doubt relating to the death of JFK, not merely regarding his alleged assassin but just who was behind it. Currently, I have read and now own six different books on JFKs death and each and every one of them comes to the same conclusion very early on. Lee Harvey Oswald was not the killer. The perpetrator is still out there unless that person has died a natural death. The reasoning behind their startling conclusions all stem from the reality that an entry wound makes but a hole barely larger than the bullet itself and never inicts the massive damage upon entry that was horribly evident at the back of President Kennedys head. That is the result of an exit wound in almost all cases a bullet expanding greatly as it tears through its target. In JFKs case, it left large pieces of his brain in the street right behind his convertible in the motorcade through Dallas that fateful day. Each author in the list provided below makes it clear that the fatal bullet was red from in front of the motorcade almost denitely from the oft-mentioned and still debated grassy knoll. They all point out that a wound such as the presidents could not have been inicted from behind, from an ofce window six stories above the street and inict the damage it did in the manner clearly evident in photos taken at the hospital in Dallas despite apparent efforts to alter and complicate subsequent investigations. For those still very much in doubt regarding the above, here is my list of the six referred to here. They are all available in paperback and should not be hard to nd and order. Rush to Judgment A critique of the Warren Commission. Plausible Denial by the CIA involved? Both by Mark Lane. Best Evidence Disguise and deception in the JFK assassination By David Lifton. JFK and the Unspeakable He chose peace, they marked him for death By James W. Douglas. On The Trail of the JFK Assassins Theyre still out there By Dick Russell. JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy By L. Fletcher Prouty. The charges of CIA involvement as put forth in just about all of these books to some degree or another stems from the fact that JFK hated the CIA and verbally said so on numerous occasions coupled with his stated determination to totally eliminate that super-secret organization described by several of the above named authors as an organization that was a world until itself answerable to no one not even the president of the United States. I have no doubt that there are many books dealing with the same scenario and, in due time, I just might read allor at least most of them.Don Blair VeniceI am outraged over rich kid being let o the hookEditor: I just nished writing a letter to John Wilson. He is a news reporter for Fox News 13 in Tampa. He does a weekly Outrage segment on his news program. I think Mr. Wilson will be Totally Outraged when he looks into the details about the 16-year-old Texas kid that was driving drunk. He killed four people and injured nine other people. The Judge acquitted the kid because he was too afuent and his parents didnt teach him right from wrong. How about putting the parents in jail then? The judge should be going to jail or to a mental hospital for a decision like that. Who is going to speak for the victims? Yes, Mr. Wilson, I hope that voice will be yours and heard loud and clear. This is a travesty of justice in my opinion. This kid isnt going to spend any time in prison for murdering four people, not to mention he stole the beer from a convenience store. That alone should have required some jail time. The kids defense was that he was too afuent to go to jail. The kid will be in California on probation while mommy and daddy pay over $400,000 a year to support him. Why was he allowed to keep his drivers license? If he doesnt know right from wrong, maybe he should not be driving. So then the message to other rich teens is, you can get away with murder if your parents are rich enough. How do we get justice for the victims of this travesty? What kind of society have we become?Sandra Brookshire VeniceLETTERSFROM PAGE 8 480115 Linda Lynn Formerly From IL 567-9310 Jim Bath Formerly From CA 716-0051 Ed Mysliveck Formerly From NY 485-0197 Bernie Yerich Formerly From NJ 223-5608 Tom Roberts Formerly From OH 400-5361 Melanie Pillar Formerly From IN 941-525-0499 Myrna Nelson Formerly From IL 451-0151 Martha Smith Formerly From MI 504-9588 Pam Cameron Formerly From MI 716-3838 206 Harbor Drive S.

Police Chief Tom McNulty made the announcement this week. Its not a new concept, McNulty said. It came out of our strategic planning session. Its always been one of our priorities to be transpar ent. This allows the public to see how police work. It takes the mystique out of what we do and how we do it. It breaks down barriers for misguided perceptions. When he brought up the idea with the rank and le, McNulty was surprised at the interest. Weve had numerous department members whove said, I want to be part of it. To me, that shows their commitment to the community. This isnt easy. Some of them are changing hours to do this. The Citizens Police Academy will begin in February 2014, and last 11 weeks. Classes will be held Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Waymire Training Facility on Lucaya Avenue in Venice. One Saturday afternoon is scheduled at the Venice Police Marine Building and dock, McNulty said. Already the department has received six applications for the 25 available classroom seats. If you have ever wanted to re a police issued weapon, monitor and use police radios, or operate a police vessel, this is the opportunity, McNulty said. Are you curious about how a K-9 handler and their canine partner conduct building searches or drug sniffs? You will be given the chance to participate in mock demonstrations. Those interested should contact Lee Lyons, accreditation coordinator, at 941-486-2444, ext. 3265 or at llyons@venicegov. com to obtain an application. There is no charge to attend the academy.Email: ggiles@venicegondolier.comVenice police to hold first citizens academyBy GREG GILESNEWS EDITOR Nearly 100 Venicearea families waited patiently outside the Salvation Armys Angel Tree office in the Galleria Plaza Friday morning. Within the office, there were hundreds of gift bags, 81 bicycles and several scooters. If a child requested a bicycle, he will get it, Salvation Army Captain Christine Kim said. Children 12 and under also get toys and clothing. Children 13-17 receive $25 gift cards. Parents applied for the Angel Tree program earlier in the year, which allows time for matching angels with the children to fulfill everyones requests. Assisting with the distribution were Angel Tree coordinator Betsy Roiz, Lori Ziemke. Katrina Ziemke and Heather Moffatt. Katrina is a sophomore at State College of Florida and Moffatt is a sophomore at the University of Florida, They began working with the Angel Tree program as freshmen members of the Interact Club at Venice High School.

Lic# 14016 MM14015 If you have ever suffered a sudden jolt and impact, there may be no noticeable symptoms for weeks or months. The reason for this is that the spinal discs and ligaments, the tough connective tissue that holds bones together, have no pain fibers. If muscle spasms and inflammation around the nerve roots develop, this may cause headaches, dizziness, neuralgia, and loss of neck motion. Sudden jolts and impacts are often associated with whiplash injuries that result when an automobile is struck from behind. When this happens, the person in the struck auto finds his body thrust forward and his neck and head backward. In a major injury, several thousand pounds of force may be absorbed by the cervical or neck area of the spine. Similar though less severe injuries can also result from falls and body-contact sports. If you are suffering from pain in the neck or any area of your back, you may be able to benefit greatly from chiropractic treatment.

The advertising agency, based in Columbus, Ohio, has worked with Hanna on other Columbus Zoo projects. Hanna directed the zoo for years. The unscripted Wild Countdown is lmed right in the zoo, Hannas base camp for decades. Foth Advertising set up shop in the Hamilton Square parking lot, hiring local area subcontractors like First Unit Production Service from Pinellas Park, for the two-day shoot. The production company chose Barclays because its an independent pharmacy and because theyre super friendly, Weiss said. Hanna arrived on set Wednesday afternoon and was immediately approached for an autograph. Hanna shook hands with a few onlookers and production staff, and launched into a Venice story upon seeing Venice police ofcer Sean Hammett, who was providing security. Turns out Hanna was in Clocks Restaurant when the Fifth Third Bank was robbed in March. Hanna said he hadnt even gotten his breakfast when patrons were or dered to leave the restaurant, located across the street from the bank, and remain in their vehicles. The robbery took place March 4 a little after 10 a.m., causing the evacuation of nearby businesses and lockdowns at nearby schools. Hazmat teams were deployed due to a bomb threat by the perpetrator. The culprit was never apprehended. When ofcers entered the restaurant, Hanna hesitated. You could see the disappointment on his face, as he retold the story. I was hungry.Email: ggiles@venicegondolier.comTV STARFROM PAGE 1 form of VPD ofcers O.L. Guinart and Michael Kimson. They couldnt make any promises either, of course. Lets see what we can do, Guinart told the Coyles. A little while later the doorbell rang. There was Guinart and Brady, who had gotten himself into a drainage ditch just a block away and couldnt nd his way out. I burst into tears, Anne said. I couldnt have been more grateful. He (Guinart) was a real hero. VPD Chief Tom McNulty, who had heard from the Coyles about his ofcers good deed, said that as long as there isnt more pressing police work to do, his force is always willing to go above and beyond for city residents. This is the type of service our citizens are used to and were going to continue to provide it as long as we can, he said. Full-time retirees in Venice since 1996, the Coyles have had Brady in their otherwise empty nest for 12 years. This is our baby, Anne said. This is a member of the family. The rst male dog the Coyles have owned, hes named for Mathew Brady, the famed Civil War photographer Bill is a Civil War buff and Bradenton, where he was living in a shelter before they rescued him. I wanted a dog who was needy, Anne said, adding, Be careful what you wish for. Thursday afternoon, Brady was in his usual spot on Annes lap, none the worse for his adventure and utterly unaware it was likely his last one. The rule of thumb now is never go out without a lead, Anne said.Email: bmudge@venicegondolier.comPOODLEFROM PAGE 1 their content. It would certainly be beyond our capacity to protect an employees private Facebook account from a hacker. According to the UKs The Guardian, keeping your computers software up-to-date is the best way to protect against hackers. The newer the software, the less time hackers have to find vulnerabilities that allow them to attack. Numerous companies, Google among them, have implemented two-part authentication as another line of defense against hackers. In addition to a password, users also need a unique code that is texted to their phone before gaining access to their account. Using different passwords for different accounts is a headache for users, but is also an effective way to keep hackers at bay.Email: RSmith@VeniceGondolier.comFACEBOOKFROM PAGE 1 B e s t V a l u e s L a r g e s t Best Values, Largest S e l e c t i o n s I n c l C r a f t Selections, Incl.

Flynn tore her meniscus in her knee prior to the season, and the timetable for her return was in question. On Thursday night, Flynn came off the bench to spark a 7-0 run in the rst quarter and lead the Indians to a 4340 victory over the rival North Port Bobcats. She (Flynn) really gave us a lift right there, Davis said. We have needed a consistent scorer all season, and she provides that. The Bobcats led 10-5 thanks to the play of LeKyra Smith (ve points) and Rahanda Burke (four points). Thats when Davis inserted Flynn into the lineup, and the senior responded by scoring ve of the next seven Venice points as the Indians took a 12-10 lead at the end of the rst quarter. That redhead (Flynn) hit some big shots, Bobcats coach Tom Tintor said. She is a veteran guard and didnt miss a beat even though shes been out. Venice continued its onslaught in the second quarter, extending the lead to 19-10. The Bobcats responded late in the quarter with an 8-0 run of their own to close within 19-18 before a Lucy Whitney free throw stopped the threat. North Port struggled in the third quarter as Smith, the teams leading scorer, picked up her fourth foul and had to sit on the bench. The Indians started to pull away before Jelena Dosen and Lorena Marra led another comeback. North Port nally tied the game at 28 on a three-pointer by Marra, but couldnt get the lead. Emma Hanewinckel made a free throw and Koree Ream closed the quarter with a jump shot that gave Venice a 31-28 lead going into the fourth quarter. We knew Smith was a good player, and we wanted to keep her down, Davis said. Getting her in foul trouble really helped us out. Tintor said, It got really tough when LeKyra went out. She has been carrying a lot of the load. Again the Indians got quick points from Kayla McCutchen and Flynn to extend their lead to 35-28, but the Bobcats wouldnt go away. North Port got within three on a shot by Dosen and a steal and layup by Shuana Naudascher. The Bobcats started to foul to extend the game, but Venice went 6-of-8 from the free-throw line to close it out. Ive been preaching to the girls that you have to take the wins and no one will give them to you, Davis said. Tonight we took it by our unselsh play and our good defense. We never gave up the lead. Flynn led Venice with 13 points while Taira Ward added ve points and 10 rebounds. Koree Ream contributed seven points and six rebounds, and Emma Hanewinckel also added seven points. Marra led the Bobcats with 11 points, while Smith added eight points and four assists before fouling out. Naudascher added six points, ve rebounds and three steals. Burke and Dosen also contributed six points.Flynn, Ward lead Indians to win over North PortBy NATE COWANSUN CORRESPONDENT SUN PHOTOS BY JUSTIN FENNELLMaggie Flynn scores two of her team-high 13 points.

The match was halted eight minutes into the first half, when officials were informed that the Sailors were using multiple players who had played in the preceding junior varsity game. FHSAA rules prevent student-athletes from participating in JV and varsity contests on the same day. Sarasota coach Gunnar Barcomb, mired in a 1-14 season, declined to address the forfeit afterwards. There wasnt a game, so I dont know what we would talk about, Barcomb said.

Susan Ott, created especially for Venice Theatre. Playing only through this Sunday afternoon, Dec. 22, this version of the Charles Dickens classic is special because of the music and the staging. Other theaters, including local professional theaters, have presented their own versions of the classic Dickens tale but somehow Keys and Ott captured the essence of Dickens better than all of them. Directed by Murray Chase, with costumes by Nicholas Hartman, sets by Miles Mowry, music direction by Michelle Kasanofsky, choreography by Sandy Davisson and Noel Oxboel, sound by Dorian Boyd and lighting by John Michael Andzulis, this is the gift that keeps on giving. Eric Watters has portrayed Ebeneezer Scrooge for 12 years. In real life, anything but a Scrooge, Watters nails the curmudgeonly character once again, paying poor Bob Cratchit far too little, making him freeze his ngers in a too cold ofce and then trying to make him feel guilty for taking Christmas Day off with pay. Jeff Dunn-Rankin, youth director at Christ Methodist Church, has portrayed Cratchit annually since 2006 when his daughter Katie joined the cast, most often portray ing a Cratchit daughter. This year, she is the younger Belle, with Stacy Pinkerton as older Belle. Pinkertons daughter Kristin portrays Caroline. It is her sixth year in the show. If you are noticing a theme here, it is the family aspect of this wonderful family show. Not only is the show loaded with actors who have been trained in the theaters education department, the show also is loaded with sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, cousins, nephews and the like. A high percentage of participants are associated with the show for the sixth or eighth year or longer. I rst saw Alyssa Hunek in A Christmas Carol when she was about 8 and active in the Sarasota Youth Opera as well as at Venice Theatre. She has since graduated from college and is working on a masters degree in music therapy. In her 13th production, she portrays a charity person. She has been Mrs. Cratchit and as a youngster, several of the roles for children. Her nephew Ryan is back for the third year. This year the Epiphany fourth-grader is Ignorance, Schoolboy and Wilkins child. Chases wife Lori is the voice of Christmas Past. This is her 12th year in the show. Pine View eighth-grader Charlie Kollar is back for his eighth year in Carol. He is young Scrooge and Carolines husband. His parents are Venice Theatre producing director Allan Kollar and volunteer coordinator and facilities manager Kim Kollar. The DeNiro family is represented by son Tony who is back from college for his seventh performance in A Christmas Carol. He portrays a charity person and a party guest. His father Phil returns as Fezziwig and dedicates his role to the late Steve Credeur who played the role for many years. Linda DeNiro plays Mrs. Fezziwig in her third appearance in A Christmas Carol. Daughter Teri DeNiro is Older fan, featured dancer and Christmas Future. It is her fth production. With this family, the children were on stage rst and the parents followed. The Balliet family is represented by UCF junior Hayley Brielle Balliet for her eighth appearance; younger sister Kenzie in her seventh appearance and 14-year-old Reese in her sixth production of A Christmas Carol. Stage manager Hannah Betterton is involved for the 11th year, her fth as stage manager. While many of those mentioned above have appeared in a various roles from year to year, Neil Kasanofsky is Christmas Present for the 11th year. A Christmas Carol continues through Dec. 22 at Venice Theatre, 140 W. Tampa Ave., on the island in downtown Venice. Performances will be at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and at 7 p.m. Saturday on the theaters main stage.

This year, he is back for his 12th year in the role. A Christmas Carol continues through Dec. 22 at Venice Theatre. A tribute to comedian Red Skelton and Bransons top song-and-dance act close out 2013 at Venice Theatre Dec. 27-31. First, Tom Mullica will take the stage with his tribute to Red Skelton Dec. 27 and 28. Then, Branson, Mo.s Red, Hot & Blue! will perform Dec. 29, 30 and 31. All shows begin at 8 p.m. Prices range from $25 to $45. The New Years Eve concert is a celebration complete with champagne and hors doeuvres. In Red: A Tribute by Tom Mullica, area residents will have a rare opportunity to take a nostalgic trip back in time and enjoy the antics of Americas most beloved clown and comedian. Mullica, a close friend of the late Red Skelton, expertly portrays the comedian and his host of lovable characters, including Klem Kadiddlehopper, Gertrude & Heathcliff, Freddy the Freeloader and many more. He magically transforms himself into Skelton live on stage, complete with rubber-faced pantomimes, ageless sight gags, obscenity-free jokes and his legion of memorable characters. Mullica handles Skeltons voices, mannerisms and expressions with the skill of a veteran actor who cares deeply about his subject. Venice Theatres concert-goers said they missed having Red, Hot & Blue! on the roster of events, so this high-energy song-and-dance group is back by popular demand. Coming to Venice straight from Branson, Red, Hot & Blue! cast members sing and dance their hearts out in a beautifully costumed production show. Audiences are transported on a nostalgic journey through the Big Band Era of the s, the Rockin s, the eclectic s and the disco ash of the s, ending with a few more current selections in an All-American salute to veterans. Tickets (and money-saving passes) for all Venice Theatre shows through June 2014 are available at the box ofce at 941-4881115 or at VeniceStage. com. Holiday gift certificates are also available in person and over the phone. Venice Theatre is located at 140 W. Tampa Ave., on the island in Venice. Box ofce hours are 10 a.m.5 p.m. Monday through Friday and one hour before show time.Tribute artist and musical show close out theaters seasonFROM VENICE THEATRE With the holidays upon us, some people may want to give a pet as a surprise gift to someone, often a relative or close friend. But receiving a pet unexpectedly can be disastrous for both the pet and the individual. Puppies and kittens require 10 to 20 years of responsibility with an emotional and nancial commitment. Even if the recipients love animals, they may not be in a position to care for a pet right now. Another factor is that it may not be the exact pet they would choose for themselves. And young children can become over whelmed with caring for a pet, forcing their parents to become responsible for a pet they may not have wanted in the rst place. Animal shelters like Suncoast Humane Society see an inux of surrendered pets after the holidays, usually because new pet owners are not prepared for the responsibility of an unexpected pet. This experience is traumatic for the pet and the intended family. There are alternatives to gifting a pet for the holidays. If you know that the intended recipient has been considering adopting a pet, giving money toward the adoption fee could be appropriate. The potential adopter can go to a shelter and pick a suitable pet for the family. Only the recipient really knows which pet will work for the household. Another alternative to gifting a pet is to make a donation in the recipients name to the Humane Society. Everyone appreciates the thoughtfulness of such a gift and realizes the importance of caring for shelter pets. For more information, contact Suncoast Humane Society at 941-474-7884, stop by the adoption center at 6781 San Casa Drive, Englewood, or visit: Humane.org.Think twice about giving a petFROM SUNCOAST HUMANE SOCIETY rfnftbr fntb nt nbr fnfbbbn 481013 50453322 Roast Turkey (served with stuffing) Baked Virginia Ham (with pineapple) Stuffed Grouper (with crabmeat stuffing) Lamb Shank (topped with vegetable marinara) Broiled Seafood Platter (grouper, shrimp, & scallops) $11 95 $11 95 $11 95 $11 95 $15 95 $15 95 $15 95 $15 95 $15 95 $15 95 All above is served with chicken noodle soup or salad, choice of potato and green beans Reservations Required Also OPEN Christmas Eve & New Years Eve with Regular Menu Available Cocktails Wine Dessert Kids Menu (10 & under only) $6.99 Roast Turkey with cup of soup Baked Virginia Ham with cup of soup Open Christmas Day & New Years Day F a m i l y T a b l e F a m i l y T a b l e Family Table R e s t a u r a n t R e s t a u r a n t RestaurantH a p p y H o l i d a y s H a p p y H o l i d a y s Happy Holidays! 14132 S.

PAGE 15 WEEKEND EDITION DECEMBER 21, 2013 SUN NEWSPAPERS 15A Nearly 30 local fam ilies will enjoy a happy Christmas this year even though they might have predicted a grim one just a few months ago. Scores of gifts were presented to the families when the Venice Regional AdoptA-Fa mily Program was held Thursday afternoon in the main auditorium at the hospital. Scores of volunteers and hospital staff joined together for a blessing of the gifts before they were sent off to the recipients. CEO Pete Wozniak greeted the guests. The group reected in prayer and then sang joyous Christmas carols together. I feel fortunate to work with such an incredible, spirited group of people, said Bob Hite, marketing director at Venice Regional Medical Center. The generosity here today is so overwhelming. Ingrid Tetreault, volunteer coordinator at the hospital, heads a group of 640 volunteers. Many people put in a lot of hard work to make this happen, Tetreault said. Boxes and bags of wrapped gifts lled the tables in the auditorium. The presents were going to families who are facing difcult times this holiday season. Several organizations participated in the program, including the YMCA, Laurel Civic Association, Womens Resource Center and Senior Friendship Center. Hospital staff members referred some of the families that will receive gifts. And its all planned ahead very carefully. Basically, we learn about families that may benet from the program, Hite said. We then ask these families if they would like to be part of it, and we then divide them up between all of our departments and staff to purchase the gifts. The hospital has been coordinating the program for nearly 20 years. Approximately 500 families have been adopted throughout the years. Bridgett Bortz, executive administrative assistant, said the group has been putting the project together since October. I just nished shopping last night for one family, Bortz said.

Jesse Knight. It was cold enough for snow. Water tossed into the air freezes before it hits the ground, church historian Vereen Anspach said about that night. The Seminole Indian Wars had ended about 1858. The Civil War had been over for three years. Florida had a new Constitution that declared all men free. Post-war reconstruction had begun. And that is where this story begins. Earlier that year, Shade Hancock, 29, his wife, Sarah Jane Knight, 23, and their two young sons moved to the area today known as Venice. She was the daughter of Jesse and Rebecca Knight. Their parents followed some months later, as did Sarahs 14 siblings, their spouses and assorted children. So did families by the name of Curry and Roberts and Blackburn and Higel and Blalock. Their descendants are still here, and their names dot the map: Curry Creek, Blackburn Point, Roberts Bay. My great-grandfather came as a doctor with the calvary for the Seminole Indian wars and then came back and homesteaded, Ike Roberts said. My grandfather was John Slemons Blackburn. He came to homestead in 1884. John Slemons Blackburn had received a land grant of roughly 83 acres signed by President Grover Cleveland.A mule and a wagonThe man for whom Roberts Bay was named was a distant cousin of Roberts, who said the man had tried to grow cassava in the area but the cold weather ruined his crops. When he found a person who would trade him a mule and a wagon for the land, he left town, Roberts said. I never did learn where he went. Although that particular Roberts left the area, Ike Roberts is related to most of the early settlers, and he and his wife still live on family land in the fourth house theyve built on it. The Knights came rst, and then the Higels and then the Blackburns on my mothers side, he said. Blackburn Point is named for my great-grandfather John Slemons Blackburn. He is buried at Spanish Point. His sister also is buried there. She died at 2 in 1910. Blackburn Road is named for my grandfather Benjamin Franklin Blackburn. The Blackburn for whom Blackburn Road is named had a 168-acre homestead that extended from Blackburn Road north to Laurel Road and west to the bay. The Higels were on the south side of the bay, Roberts said. For his familys homestead, Jesse Knight selected high ground near todays Dona Bay and Shake It and Salt Creeks, according to Venice, Journey from Horse and Chaise, by Janet Snyder Matthews.Eyry and GuavaThe area was then known as Horse and Chaise, an odd name derived from some groves of trees that could be seen from the Gulf of Mexico. From that vantage point, boaters said, the groves resembled a horse and chaise (a carriage). According to Matthews book, Jesse selected the site from the water. The name Horse and Chaise was replaced by Venice in 1888, when Darwin Curry established the second post ofce in the area.

CHURCH | 5From all appearances, Stephen and Michelle Hazeltine are just regular folks: educated, business owners, parents. Just like so many people, right? But a look behind the scenes reveals a wonderful story about this unique pair that is worth telling, especially in the holiday season. Its Christmastime, the time of year when the major focus is on family and giving. And that is a big part of what this family is all about. Oh, and its about Christmas trees. This Christmas is special for the Hazeltines. The nursery turns 30 on Dec. 15, and the couple will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary on that date. We were high school sweethearts, Michelle said. Both are natives of Sarasota County, through and through. Stephen is a fourth-generation Venetian; Michelle grew up in Sarasota. They met at Sarasota County Technical Institute while dual-enrolled and still in high school. He studied horticulture; she studied livestock production. It was a match made in heaven. We began dating in 1982, Michelle said. He graduated in 1983 and I graduated in 1984, but we started the business together in 1983.First farmStephens parents had 17 acres on Laurel Road, and the pair started growing plants. She came down every afternoon and weekend to work the farm. Our goal was to grow fancy plants (a state plant category) and we grew hibiscus and other crops and propagated seeds for palm trees, Michelle said. She graduated high school, and with the realization they couldnt compete with large growers who had 100 acres or more in plants, they both went back to school. We had a nursery and worked with architects in Venice and Sarasota, installing their plans. Then we thought, We can do this, and we went back to school and learned landscape design and irrigation design and started doing our own design work, she said. Now, thats all we do design landscape and build. We do driveways, swimming pools, arbors, lighting, irrigation anything that is outside the house. Its a full-service oper ation, including maintenance. The Hazeltines moved the nursery to its current location at 2401 River Road, a bit south of East Venice Avenue, in 1993.FamilyBack to the focus on the family. Three generations are now on board at Hazeltine Nurseries. Our two boys (Michael and Clayton) work here, and both of our fathers work for us (a unique twist on kids going to work for their fathers), The people behind Hazeltines Christmas treesAUDREY BLACKWELL TREES | 5 SUN PHOTO BY AUDREY BLACKWELLStephen and Michelle Hazeltine, center, anked by their son, Michael, left, and her brother, Brian, right, own and operate Hazeltine Nurseries.

HOW TO GET YOUR EVENTS LISTED Those who may have missed hearing The Lauren Mitchell Band at the Venice Brews & Blues Festival in November missed some great entertainment. At a recent performance by the band Friday night, Dec. 13, at Englewood on Dearborn, they about blew the roof off the band stand. Fortunately, the bandstand is outdoors. This band, with its fabulous 5-foot-10-inch tall leader, Lauren Mitchell who becomes even more imposing in sassy red 4-inch high heels and four seasoned male blues players on the keyboard, bass guitar, Les Paul guitar and drums, play it out of the park. This band plays the blues like you hope to hear it played from gut-wrenching soul to quirky humor to that getdown sound. Having been together for just about two years, they are already making their mark with blues fans. The Loren Mitchell Band was recently selected to compete in the International Blues Challenge (IBC) Jan. 21-25 in Memphis. They were chosen by the Suncoast Blues Society, as was another area top blues band, the Delta Swamp Rats, with whom they will share the ride to Memphis. During their perfor mance, Mitchell paces the oor like a caged lion seeking escape, but from her sounds, reminiscent of Etta James, you know she is right where she belongs and where she wants to be. Ive been performing since I was 6, and I began training at age 9, the Sarasota-based blues singer said. Singing runs in her family, and her roots in music run deep. I grew up listening to blues, country and bluegrass, she said. Originally from Canton, Ohio, Mitchell has been performing with the Hammond B3 man, The Professor Michael Hensley, for 10 years. Other band members include drummer Charles Step Steptoe, guitar player Howlin Bob Fieberts and bass player Mike Snyder. The band is performing all along Floridas Sun Coast, raising money for the trip to Memphis for the IBC. It will be at the Blue Rooster, 1525 4th St., Sarasota, Dec. 27 and Jan. 17, 8:30-11:30 p.m.; Music on Main on Old Main Street in Bradenton, Dec. 31, 9 p.m.; and back at Englewood on Dearborn, 362 W. Dearborn St., Englewood, Jan. 16, 7-10 p.m. We need about $5,000 for the trip, Mitchell said. So far, theyve raised about $2,000, but more is needed. Funds are raised through sales of their T-shirts, emblazoned with the name of their new CD, Please Come Home. People can also donate for our trip through Suncoast Blues Society, Mitchell said. Cash or gas cards would be appreciated. People can join Suncoast Blues Society for a $20 single one-year membership or $30 for a family. Membership gets you an SBS button and the societys monthly newsletter to keep you informed on the latest blues events.

EDITOR 941-207-1218 rdupont@venicegondolier.com SUN NEWSPAPERS Butteries and bees arent the only ones beneting from the sunowers, string beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage grown at the North Port High School community garden. Freshly grown produce at the campus is donated to the schools Bobcat Boutique which provides food, clothing, school supplies and personal-care items for students and then given to families in need. The program is catching on at the school, thanks to a small group of students from the Coexist Club and teachers dedicated to tending the garden. We have about 20 plots going so far, said NPHS teacher Jim Noonan, who oversees the garden. This is really a hobby of mine, but Ive gotten my family involved. My daughters help water the plants and pick (the vegetables) when they are ready. A couple of teachers from (nearby) Heron Creek Middle School come over and work on their plots. Theres a teacher who works with at-risk students, and their plots are doing the best. Volunteer student Kirstin LeClercq, 17, said the concept for the garden is ideal because of the many benets it brings. Working in the gar den at school is a great example of how to pay it forward to others, she said. Tall sunowers, which attract bees, peek above the plots. Students are not bothered by the bees as they check to see if the rosemary, dill, cauliower, basil, eggplant, tomatoes and sweet potatoes are ready for harvest. I print out recipes for the vegetables we grow to help families with meals, Noonan said. Ive also made sweet potato pie and given it to students. Noonan, who also is helped by the school nurse, Sarah Portle, and teacher Marilyn Caruso, said the community garden allows students to have a hands-on experience and learn more about gardening. Students in culinary arts classes are using ingredients from the garden for some of their dishes. Noonan said he would like more science classes to be a part of the project. Currently, other students are making bat cages to help control the bat population at the school. We really dont mind co-existing with the bats, because they help keep the garden bug-free, Noonan said, adding that the program also is assisted by donations of soil, seeds and garden tools from home improvement stores and local businesses like Manic Organic. One guy came here and donated cages for the plants, he said. Senior Elijah Horton, 17, said he hopes more students will want to be a part of the community garden throughout the school year. Not everyone knows theres a greenhouse behind the school, he said. Fellow Coexist Club member Amanda Burke, 14, said shed like to continue the tradition for the next four years. We like to be able to help other students, the ninth-grader said. Noonan plans to renovate the greenhouse near the community plots, which he also wants to extend, because theres plenty of room in the space hes been given for the garden area. During (a) storm, parts of the greenhouse tiles got damaged, he said. Im hoping to be able to repair it. Anyone interested in helping with the garden can call Noonan at North Port High School at 941-423-8558.Email: eallen@sun-herald.comA growing needBy ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICHNORTH PORT COMMUNITY NEWS EDITOR SUN PHOTOS BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH, eallen@sun-herald.comNorth Port High School teacher Jim Noonan talks to Coexist Club students Kirstin LeClercq and Elijah Horton, both 17, about which plants are ready to pick at the schools community garden. Amanda Burke, 14, an NPHS freshman and Coexist member, waters plants at the schools community garden. Just days after a raucous North Port City Commission meeting, during which hundreds of people both supported and denounced the Bayite helicopter stationed near city hall, Heron Creek Homeowners Association members said that particular agenda item was driven by a separate homeowners group and Commissioner Cheryl Cook, who failed to provide any backup information on the item to the public. Cook, who didnt return an email request for comment on her involvement with that separate group, made a motion at Mondays meeting to sever ties with the life-saving transport company following a 60-day separation notice, a clause contained in the contract between Bayite and the city. The motion ultimately failed, as Mayor Jim Blucher and Commissioners Linda Yates and Tom Jones voted against it. Cooks concerns were twofold: some Heron Creek homeowners were bothered by noise from the helicopter, and Cook feared the chopper could simply fall out of the sky and injure people on the ground. A public records request the Sun made earlier this past week, for Cooks emails over the course of the previous two weeks, had not been fullled by the City Clerks Ofce as of Saturday. Dennis Picard, a member of the Heron Creek Community Foundation, said the two groups likely want the same thing a new home for the Bayite chopper but added that the groups were working separately. He also said those individuals, along with Cook, were the ones driving the agenda item Monday. Picard said they were working to make suggestions to city staff for relocating the helipad. The commission directed staff on Monday to come up with alternate solutions by May 2014. We believe in and support the entire community of North Port and elsewhere, Picard said. Were trying to nd solutions that benet the city. Were not the kind of people who want to take it from our backyard and stick it in your backyard. According to city documents, Bayite and the city are in a two-year contract that started in January 2012, with Bayite as the citys tenant. Under the contract, Bayite pays $17,904 annually to rent the space, which includes use of the landing pad, a storage building and a fuel tank. Although the agreement is for the term of two years, either the city or Bayite can terminate the relationship with a 60-day written notice without penalty. Ninety-one people have been transported out of North Port this year via Bayite, documents show. Scott Wyant, program coordinator for the St. Petersburg-based Bayite operation, said that statistical data drive the companys decision-making process as to where helipads can be placed. Each location needs standard features like storage, gas tanks and quarters for Bayite crew, but he said he was more than willing to work with the city to nd another possible location for the helipad. Id love to nd some mitigation strategy to help the current location make sense, but we also want to be good neighbors and we dont want to disturb anyone, Wyant added. Blucher believes, over all, its a small group of people in the Heron Creek community, likely those with homes that front Sumter Boulevard, who are most concerned with the helicopter. He said the helicopter typically makes a noise that lasts roughly a minute and a half. Blucher believes the relationship between Bayite and the city is a good one, and is condent the two parties can work together to nd a new helipad location. You have to put yourself in their shoes, Blucher said of the Heron Creek community. I do feel sorry for them, but I also understand the rest of the people asking why we should worry about them when the helicopter is helping to save lives.Email: dwinchester@sun-herald.comAlternative helipad location soughtBy DREW WINCHESTERSTAFF WRITER SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH, eallen@sun-herald.com At least through May, a Bayite medical helicopter will remain at North Port Fire Station 81, along Sumter Boulevard, near City Hall. On the walls of his ofce, among the photos of family and friends, the Rev. John Cross has a small oil painting of a rural church. Alcova Mountain Baptist is red brick with large trees out front, an outbuilding nearby and Alcova Mountain itself in the distance. Its the place Pastor Cross rst preached when he was 17 years old. Its the place his father spent years preaching. I go there a lot of days in my mind and in my heart, Pastor Cross said last week at the South Biscayne Church in North Port, which he has transformed in 23 years from a small church of 100-some-odd to a large church of roughly 3,000. Pastor Cross was born ve decades ago in rural northeastern Georgia. When he was just 11, he said, I became a follower of Christ. I didnt see stars, I didnt hear angels singing, but I did sense a settled feeling of peace, of surrender, and belief that now he is my shepherd, he said. Next came the calling for the ministry. John Cross went to Mercer University for his bachelors degree and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for a masters and eventually a doctorate. In 1990, he happened to be available when a tiny North Port church came looking for a student-speaker over spring break. As it turned out, the congregation also was looking for a full-time minister. John Cross took his break here, and then the job. He was 27. North Port had about 12,000 residents at the time. The church had 100 regulars all seniors. But they foresaw growth, Pastor Cross said, and they believed South Biscayne should do whatever it takes to reach particularly the young families that were going to be moving to town. That they did. In 1996, South Biscayne moved from what is now the Boys & Girls Club (on South Biscayne Drive) to the former North Port Mall on U.S. 41. It was a big move to a big building, but theyve lled the place. There are now almost 3,000 members. South Biscayne Baptist has an exceptional reach. It donates Christmas presents and distributes food. Its back-to-school bash last year attracted 1,500 for school supplies, clothing, free haircuts, physicals and hamburgers. Its Easter and Christmas pageants are said to be spectaculars. And in coming years, a large, faith-based assisted living facility will be built next door. South Biscayne is committed to preaching and teaching the Bible, Pastor Cross said. However, methods change all the time. We dont want to be an eight-track church in an MP3 world. Along those lines, Pastor Cross said, Our church has been willing to think outside the box. In fact, theyve even been willing to throw away the box so that we dont limit how we can communicate this message. That means Sunday worship for youngsters particularly is high-high-high energy, he said. We believe if we create a church where kids are pumped up and red up, the parents arent trying to get the kids to come, the kids are trying to get the parents to come. In other ways, too, kids have become more central to his life. Four years ago, Pastor Cross, hitherto single, married a widow with ve children. He will be a grandfather soon. He feels particularly blessed about that. Theyre awesome, he said. Of course, my wife is beautiful and phenomenal. Gods been good. Stephen Baumann is a member of the Suns editorial board.

Her brother and sister work there, too. The business has grown from just the two of them to a full cadre of 150 employees, including designers and landscape architects and workers who water, prune and weed the plants on this 150-acre tree farm and nursery that has 90 acres in full production.GivingThe Hazeltines believe in giving back and are notable in the community. For example, they donate the owers at the Main Street entrance to the city of Venice and maintain them. And for several years, they donated poinsettias to decorate the median along West Venice Avenue at Christmastime. Michelle is president of the Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County board of directors and is a board member of the South County Family YMCA. Stephen is a member of the board of trustees for Selby Gardens and worked with them in designing the new Childrens Rain Forest. We did the installation drawings based on their designers concept, Michelle said.Christmas treesHazeltine Nursery had 300 Christmas trees for sale this year, and on Dec. 12 had about 50 left. Weve been selling Christmas trees for seven years, Michelle said. She said the nursery is able to keep the trees fresh because theyre stored in a greenhouse that has overhead sprinklers, and the trees are watered daily. Regular Christmas tree customers make selecting a tree a family affair at Hazeltine Nursery. One woman buys a 10-foot tree from them every year and they work at getting it into the back seat of her Mini Cooper. In another family of four, the parents started out buying their trees there and now bring their two children to help with the selection. Hazeltine also has a buttery garden where classes are taught by horticulturists from University of Florida and Sarasota County Extension Service twice a year. Plants for sale include annuals, perennials and various tree varieties, such as lemon, lime, avocado and Florida peach. Some people like to wait until near Christmas to pick out a tree, and those people might nd just what theyre looking for at Hazeltine Nursery: a family of growers.

She writes that in 1888, Curry applied for a post ofce near one of the early Knight homesteads. He entered Guava on the form but crossed it out and wrote in Venice, possibly inuenced by promoters who cited the similarities between peninsular frontier Florida and the romance and sophistication of peninsular Italy. That post ofce is said to have served just 60 families. The church was under going changes too.GrowthThat 1868 Christmas Eve service was the rst of many in the areas rst, and for many years only, church, Knights Chapel. And it was enough, because when the church was founded, there were few families in the area. The Webbs and Guptils were in Osprey and the Knights and Currys were in what is today the Nokomis area, Roberts said. Many of the rst people at the church were Baptists but they went to the church because it was the only one there, church member Rose Hightower said. When the group nally outgrew the Knights home, an arbor was constructed for church services. In 1893, according to church history, an 18-by 24-foot building was erected to serve as both schoolhouse and church. The church also gained a longer name Venice Methodist Episcopal Church South. Ten years later, in 1903, the church nally gained a home of its own, complete to a steeple, stained-glass windows and a bell from an old locomotive. It was erected on land donated by Jesse Knight to a public trust. The nal name change can be attributed in part to the arrival of Chicago socialite Bertha Honore Palmer in the area in 1910. She became the areas largest landholder and by 1912 had persuaded the Seaboard Air Line Railway to move south and build a new depot where todays Historic Venice Train Depot is located. She also arranged to have the Venice Post Ofce moved to the rail lines new terminus, which left its former location nameless for a year. Among the names proposed by area residents were Knighton, Curryton and DunDee, Matthews writes. The area was named Nokomis in 1917 by former Venice postmaster Alfred Franklin Wrede, Jesse Knights son-in-law. According to legend, Wrede was inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poem, The Song of Hiawatha. Nokomis was Hiawathas grandmother.1926The building that housed what had become the Venice-Nokomis United Methodist Church was destroyed by the hurricane of 1926, and the bell, eventually salvaged, ended up at the Englewood Methodist Church until 1976, when it was returned. Todays church building is on the Bay Point site donated by Dr. Fred Albee after the hurricane of 1926. Albee at one time owned most of present-day Nokomis and Venice. The Rev. Hubert Dodd had just arrived at the church in 1926. After the hurricane, he tended his ock and also managed to raise most of the money for reconstruction even as the Great Depression grew. During those years, the local school served as a temporary home for the church. On the building committee were Claude T. Curry and Thomas M. Wrede, from two more church families that also were among the areas pioneers. The building was completed in 1927 at a cost of $25,000, some of which was paid back slowly to the contractor because many who had made pledges lacked the money in those hard times. Additions increased the size of the building in 1950, 1958 and 1959 and 1965. The church also sponsored an additional church in Venice in 1960 Grace United Methodist Church. Its rst services were held at Venice Theatre. The rst church site, on Colonia Lane in present-day Nokomis, is a historical landmark as the site of the areas rst cem etery. Jesse and Caroline Knights rst home was about 300 feet south of the cemetery, whose name was eventually changed to The Jesse Knight Memorial Cemetery. He died Oct. 4, 1911, at age 94, and was buried there. Members of the church maintain the cemetery, which in recent years gained additional acreage.CelebrationOn Nov. 30, present-day church members celebrated the 145th anniversary at the cemetery, reecting on those early founders, their descendants, the church and its legacy. I was out of college before I realized who they were, Rose Hightower said about some of the descendants still involved with the church. I try to imagine what it was like then when I drive past that old hotel on Colonia near the cemetery. In addition to the early settlers, the late Bob Briner, longtime owner of the Dairy Queen by the Hatchett Creek Bridge, the late Earl Blackburn, land owner and renowned barbecue chef, and longtime church historian Verena Anspach were honored at the anniversary event. Several church members dressed in period clothing to portray members of the pioneer families. Pastor Ralph Burton portrayed Jesse Knights father, Samuel, who remained in Levy County, where he was a cattleman and served as a lay preacher, Jesse and Rebecca were portrayed by Lowell Smith and Carolyn Ellington. Gary Sanderson portrayed the Rev. Charles Oliver Curry. Albee and his wife, Louella, were portrayed by the Rev. George Abosamra and his wife, Diane. Jan Gietek Roderick, the Rev. Charles Oliver Currys great-granddaughter, attends the church today. She and her sister Joanne met Bucky Ringo for the rst time at the anniversary celebration, although they are all descendants of Jesse Knight. Ringo brought his two granddaughters to the reunion. They would be great-great-great-greatgranddaughters of Jesse Knight, Hightower said.

Last year Rhoda and I were looking for a place to give in remembrance of a friend who had died of cancer and chose St Judes. Dave loved children all his life, so what could be more appropriate? Wherever you decide to give and whatever amount you decide, you want to be sure your charitable dollars are being deployed effectively. I can remember discussions not that long ago about how much is going to a charitys overhead, but recently according to experts the focus has shifted to a charitys results. Even well-known organizations like Charity Navigator, which grants star ratings to charities, has said it is working to change its ratings to include more results-driven factors. This could mean sending your money to distant lands where even small dollar amounts can bring sizable results for people living in extreme poverty. If you are truly driven by altruism, then you dont care about the color of a persons skin you are helping, or their nationality, said Dean Karlan, an economics professor at Yale University and founder of Innovations for Poverty Action. He went on to say that a dollar could do 10 times more good if sent to a charitable cause working in a Third World country than here in America: $1.98 can provide a person in East Africa with safe drinking water through chlorine dispensers for a year. In the December issue of SRQ there is an article titled Holiday Giving reporting how local philanthropy affects global giving. After relieving Amazon ood victims in Peru and witnessing the devastation of landslide in the Andes last year, Sarasotas Alan Monroe said, he stopped caring so much about his iPhone. You never look at the trivial things of life the same after youve helped people who have nothing, said Monroe, who is director of volunteer programs for ShelterBox USA, an international charity program based in Lakewood Ranch that has responded to more than 200 disasters in 90 countries supplying homeless families with tents and survival gear and an activity pack for children. Its a humbling life-changing experience, he said. The plane ride home moves a lot faster than your soul. Closer to home, his group assisted Oklahoma tornado victims last July. After a family has lost everything, to see a child running through a ShelterBox tent, playing with a kite and being a kid again puts everything into perspective, he said. I think of the box for Our Mothers House at the Venice Public Library on the island collecting toys for the tots of single mothers. Rhoda picked out a stuffed toy, and we hope it will light up the eyes of the child who receives it, just as good people of all faiths light up the hearts of all those in need and follow Gods central commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Last seasons world-premiere received unprecedented community support and it became clear that this personalized rendition of a holiday classic would become a local favorite, said Iain Webb, director of The Sarasota Ballet. Performances are anticipated to sell out quickly. Its rare that a company is able to perform a ballet that has such a unique connection to the audience members, Webb said. Im thrilled that were performing it again, and so is the company. John Ringlings Circus Nutcracker draws on Sarasotas close connection with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and especially on John Ringlings love for his wife, Mable. Adapting Hoffmanns 120-year-old original storyline, the ballet follows a little girl (Clara) who runs away with the circus to Sarasota. Set in the art deco period of the 1930s, characters from Hoffmans original Nutcracker are re-imagined as celebrated circus gures from the citys past. This circus-themed ballet was brought to life by international choreographer Matthew Hart, with set and costume designs by award-winning designer Peter Docherty. Sarasota Orchestra will perform Tchaikovskys full score. The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is at 777 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. There is a pre-matinee cir cus-themed family lunch at noon Saturday followed by a matinee performance at 2 p.m. The evening perfor mance will begin at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 941359-0099, ext. 1, or visit: SarasotaBallet.org.Sarasota Ballet presents John Ringlings Circus NutcrackerFROM SARASOTA BALLET $$ S AV E MONEY $$ Shop the Classifieds. 480878 Chri stmas Eve Candleli ght Servi ces 6pm Cont emporary 8pm Tradi ti onal C h r i s t U n i t e d M e t h o d i s t C h u r c h 1475 Cent er Rd.

W ay back in 1950, I bought a brand new TD r oadster and at the time other people who owned English autos always waved at each other. A few years later that tradition pretty much stopped but the fun in driving them continues. J ust ask 71-year-old P unta Gorda resident T ed Boiman, owner of the British Racing Green 1953 MG, about his experiences of motoring about Southwest Florida. He ll quickly smile then tell you of the easy tension-relieving pleasure he gets behind the wheel, shifting through its smooth 4-speed transmission and listening to the rumble of the exhaust. T ed has owned a S unbeam Alpine, Tr iumph Spitre, three D atsun Z models, three MGBs, an Alpha Romeo S pider, plus three early M ustangs. His everyday driver is a red 2005 M ustang convertible. This talented man does much of the maintenance himself and enjoys doing it. T ed found his TD on the Internet about two y ears ago, for sale in P hiladelphia, Pa. After looking at photos and learning some history he bought it and had it shipped home. When the TD arrived, there wasnt any top nor side curtains and the paint was terrible, in addition to oil leaks everywhere. An ongoing re storation is correcting most problems. Some body work and a complete paint job resulted in the MG looking great. The standard 1250 cc, 73-horsepower engine was rebuilt just prior to Teds purchase and appears to be excellent. Those rare 15-inch, knock-off wire wheels we re installed on only a few late production 1953 TDs. This type were de signed and used on 1954/55 TF series and because of them being on the car when he first saw pictures of it, their good looks convinced him this was the MG to own. Te d says it is definitely a keeper! He wa s born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and earned his degrees in finance. Ted worked for several large firms before creating a company to advise individuals and distressed businesses. He lived and worked in Europe two years while breaking in a new Tr iumph. Later, he sold his business and moved to Florida in 1998. Hes been divorced for years but helped raise two daughters who attended Harvar d, Yale and Duke Me dical School. There are four grandchildren. Look for him next to the MG at auto events.Green JagSurely by now from the quick glance if you are a car fancier, youll recognize the Willow Gr een Roadster as a Ja guar XKE. The sleek body lines from the front bumper to the tail pipe tips make this one of the most desired sports cars worldwide. I remember a wealthy gentleman who lived near us in Baltimore Co unty, Md., taking delivery of the first 1962 sold by Foreign M otors of Towson. That dealer was also in the Ba ltimore suburbs and had advance orders for all he could get from people who saw magazine picture ads. Talk about love at first sight! The sporty elegant look is timeless and its performance was and remains very fast. This particular Jag is an early 1969 Series II with a 265-horsepower, 6-cylinder engine, double overhead cam shafts and dual carburetors. Front and re ar brakes are disc type with the rear ones located inboard next to the differential. Using a rear gear ratio of 3.07 and a basic weight of 2,912 pounds helps create rapid acceleration with a top speed at just ov er 150 mph The owner, Port Charlotte resident Walt Po draza, 66, always admired XKE Jags. When he heard of this one being traded to a BMW dealer in Kenmore, N.Y., Wa lt drove there and found the mileage was only 28,000, and made a quick deal. That was in 1985. Twenty-eight years later, the odometer shows 67,800. During t hat time period all but the rear end components and transmission have been reconditioned, rebuilt or replaced with correct NOS (New Old Stock) parts. A digital distributor and a one-wire alternator were added for reliability. Otherwise the car is 100 percent stock original. In 1994 it was repainted the same color when new and still remains quite presentable. All the chrome, including those handsome wire wheels is excellent. Mr. Podraza was born and raised in Buff alo, N.Y., and was employed many years as a Teamster truck driver for two national companies. He won a prestigious award for safe driving from both firms before retiring and moving full time to Florida in 2010. Wa lt also owns a 1972 Da tsun 240Z hes had for 36 years thats with his daughter in Western N ew York State. Ot her hobbies include 1988 and 1996 Harley cycles as well as dining out with his longtime significant other, Mo nica Moore.Merry ChristmasLee and I sincerely thank each of you who emailed or sent us Christmas greetings and cards.

When we go together, he drives my Toyota Yaris. He insists on shutting off the engine at every stoplight, which he says improves gas mileage. I say its dangerous; its going to r equire a new starter sooner rather than later; and it upsets the drivers behind him as they wait for him to start up the car when the light turns green. On the weeks he doesnt drive the car, my mileage is about 41-42 miles per gallon, and on the weeks he does drive my car, the mileage is about 40-41 mpg. So, does shutting off the engine at stoplights improve gas mileage, and is it worth it? Terry TOM: Ye s, and probably not. It certainly does save fuel when you turn off the engine at stoplights. Thats why hybrids and newer cars are coming equipped with automatic stop/start features. RAY: What does stop/ start do? It turns off the engine when you stop at a light and turns it back on for you the moment yo u take your foot off the brake to save fuel. TOM: So wh y isnt your mileage better when your boyfriend drives, then? Probably because hes got a lead foot the r est of the time. He likely accelerates harder than yo u do, and drives faster. And thats costing you more in mileage than hes saving by shutting down the engine at stoplights. RAY: B ut theres no question that running the engine less uses less fuel. We used to hear people cite the myth that it takes more fuel to restart the car than it does to keep it running while youre waiting at a light. Thats nonsense. TOM: Engineers say stop/start technology can add about 5 percent to fuel economy, give or take, depending on how much stop-and-go driving is done. RAY: B ut the cars that come equipped with stop/start features have something your Yaris doesnt have: heavy-duty starters that are designed to make hundreds of starts a day rather than the ve or 10 starts your starter typically handles. TOM: So I suspect, in yo ur case, any money El Bo yfriend saves on your fuel bill will eventually be eaten up by the cost of a new starter. RAY: So here s our advice: When youre stopping for, say, two minutes or more, turn off the engine. That means you wont turn it off at every trafc light. But you will turn it off if one of you runs into a store, or when you get stuck while one of those sixmile-long freight trains full of bulgur wheat crosses the road in front of you. TOM: And suggest to yo ur boyfriend that he go a little lighter on the pedal. Going 65 instead of 70 or 75 will save quite a bit of fuel, as will accelerating gently away from stoplights. RAY: B ecause if his real goal were to save fuel r ather than annoy you and the people in cars behind him, the proof would be in the mileage numbers. And hes not making his case. The reasoning behind shifter placementDear Tom and Ray: General Motors recently unveiled the 2015 Chevy Ta hoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon. The three SUVs continue to have the gear shifter positioned on the steering column instead of the oor-mounted center console, like the Traverse, E quinox and Acadia. Is this solely a cosmetic design decision, or is there an automotive engineering reason for this choice? Thanks. Bob TOM: It s partially cosmetic, partially historic and partially practical. RAY: T he practical re ason is that putting the shifter on the steering column leaves more r oom for a large center console between the seats. People like to use center consoles to store all their stuff. TOM: No t just cups of coffee and quarters for parking, but, increasingly, purses, bags of Cheetos, laptop computers and the occasional medium-size household pet. RAY: And some of these center consoles like the Suburbans have gotten so big that yo u can rest your lunch tray on top of it and stash a backup Chevy Spark inside for when youre tired of getting 16 miles to the gallon. TOM: P utting the shifter on the steering column also gives Chevy the option of offering a bench seat up front instead of two bucket seats. A bench seat with the proper seat belts and all allows three people to sit across, instead of two. So instead of carrying only eight people, and having to ask the other team to pitch to themselves, you can carry a full baseball team in your Suburban. RAY: In terms of engineering, it really doesnt matter where you put the shifter. It can go almost anywhere, within reason. Yo u just need to have some way to transmit the position of the shifter to the transmission itself. TOM: That can be done with a cable, with r ods or, these days, with an electronic signal. RAY: The nal issue is historic precedent. The column shifter was a staple for many decades. And apparently there is a group of buyers that still like it that way. TOM: Well, I dont want to speak for them. But everybody knows you cant snuggle in the front seat with a gear shift in the way. RAY: Well, y ou can. Yo u just cant snuggle pain-free. You wa nt to buy a used car, but how do you nd a good one? Tom and Ray can help! Order How to Buy a Great Used Ca r: Secrets Only Your Mech anic Knows.

Realistic optimism. Embracing that glass-is-half-full view of the world, while willing to acknowledge its challenges, can increase your happiness quotient, help y ou live more healthfully and roll back your RealAge. Thankfully, you dont have to act like Pollyanna or r ecite wimpy afrmations like Saturday Night Lives S tuart Smalley (who was good enough, smart enough and doggone it, people liked him!) to get all the benets that come from feeling more hopeful and less stressed. They include: A healthier ticker. Even if yo u re at high risk for heart disease because of a genetic predisposition, family history, high lousy LDL cholesterol or elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, living with a sense of hope and well-being can lower y our odds for heart disease by 30 percent to 50 percent. If yo u ve already had a heart attack, optimism can help you stay on track with exercise and lower your odds for dying within ve y ears after a cardiac event by a whopping 40 percent. B etter blood fats. O ptimism nudged levels of healthy HDL cholesterol upward and pushed levels of heart-threatening triglycerides down, according to another new report. H ighly optimistic people had HDLs four points higher than gloomier folks enough to reduce their heart disease risk 12 percent. I mproved decisionmaking. Optimism enhances your ability to make good decisions under stress, a skill that can help y ou say no, thanks to a coffee-break doughnut on a tough day at work, yes to exercise (rather than chips, the couch and the TV r emote) when youre tense. And that means youll be better at solving whatever challenges life throws your way. Str onger immunity. A bright outlook boosts an important defense against disease called cell-mediated immunity. How important is it? Very! This part of your immune system controls your bodys ability to ght invading bacteria and viruses, and helps battle some cancer cells. Str oke protection. A hopeful outlook can cut y our risk for a life-threatening, mind-damaging brain attack by 10 percent or more. Why? Because positive people are more likely to get exercise and eat healthfully, sleep better and feel less stressed all lifestyle activities that reduce the risk of stroke. But it may be something more than that. Optimism all by itself bolsters health in ways that re main mysterious. A longer life and younger Real Age. A healthy old age isnt just a result of good genes. New data show that No rt h Americas longestliving citizens share a zest for life theyre easygoing, upbeat and social. So if youre ready to gain those benets of optimism, here are a few easygoing steps that can help you over to the sunny side. Think loving thoughts. A short loving kindness meditation (you focus on feelings of love and compassion for yourself and others) increases optimism and makes you feel more connected to those around y ou; spending time with friends is another important mood booster. Fe eling good? Go deeper. Pe ople who pay attention to and enhance their positive emotions are more able to overcome tough times. Per haps turning up the volume on good feelings builds a reservoir of joy to see you through lifes challenges. Try noticing when y ou feel playful, serene or spiritually uplifted, and then ask yourself how you can heighten that feeling. Its fun! Ke ep it real. Having unrealistically positive expectations or glossing over prob lems instead of solving them can backre, triggering low moods. Se e positive challenges instead of threats. Resilient people attack problems in everyday life like a plumber who knows hes got a we ll-stocked toolbox and plenty of experience when dealing with situations like a leaky pipe. The job may be wet and dirty, but he has the condence to meet the challenge and leave things dry and clean. Tr y to consciously make this positive mind shift when you feel defensive, threatened or worried about failure. Just reminding yourself to think more positively is often all it takes, science says.

I brought my kitten home after being spayed and microchipped. The instructions were to try to keep her from jumping. To keep her from trying to leap on and off the bed, I placed a two-step stepstool next to one side of the bed. I only needed to show her once how to walk up and down, and she has been using it ever since. This is a good hint for other pet o wners whose pets are sick or are recovering from surgery. L.W., via emailGrinding coffeeDear Heloise: I recently purchased a large bag of coffee beans at a local big-box store. As I left, I forgot to grind the beans in their grinder. Realizing that it would take forever to grind with my little coffee grinder, I used my food processors short metal blade and was able to grind the coffee to just the way w e like. Jackie H. in Texas Ive done the same thing w hen I received some coffee beans as a gift. I used my blender, and it did the job. Coffee is such a tasty drink, with so many types to choose from and different ways to avor it. I start my day with a cup or two and wrote a pamphlet about coffee! Heloises F lavored Coffees and Teas is lled with delicious r ecipes and fun facts. To r eceive one, send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Coffee & Tea, P.O. Box 795001, Sa n Antonio, TX 782795001. Remember, put leftover coffee grounds in the trash or out in the compost pile, but NEVER down the garbage disposal! HeloiseKid safetyDear Heloise: Another idea for parents taking children to amusement parks, zoos, etc.: If the child is given a wristband, write your cellphone number on it. If not, make sure the child knows the number. If the child is separated from the parents, she should look for another mother with children and ask that mom to call the parents. We always say to nd an employee, but often theyre not readily accessible or are busy. There always are mothers around who will help. A friends pediatrician r ecommended this.

HOROSCOPE DEAR ABBY: My y ounger sister Lainie is 14. She has had a smartphone for about a year. While I dont belong to any social media sites, Lainie is a social media junkie. She never goes anywhere without her phone. Sometimes shell have her phone in one hand and her tablet in the other, taking turns when one or the other begins to bore her. Its almost impossible to interact with her because her face is buried in the virtual world just about every hour of the day and night. I miss the way things used to be before she got that smartphone. I have talked about this with my parents. While they are equally concerned about Lainies withdrawn, sometimes secretive behavior, they never do anything about it. What are your thoughts on this topic? GADGET GIRLS SISTER IN NEW MEXICO DEAR SISTER: It s common for teens to spend a lot of time on their phones and computers. But when they become withdrawn and secretive, it is time for a parental intervention. If your folks are equally concerned about your sisters behavior, they should step in, nd out whats going on and do something about it, if necessary. If they dont already, they could start by scheduling family dinners during which cellphones are turned off or put away. DEAR ABBY: Christmas is nearly here, and Im concerned about my brother. Im afraid he blames himself for his 28-year-old daughters suicide, which was by no means his fault. This will be his rst Christmas without her. I dont know what to do for him. Any suggestions? CHALLENGED IN MICHIGAN DEAR CHALLENGED: When a close family member commits suicide, it is common for survivors to experience a range of emotions. Anger and guilt are two of them. If poss ible, encourage your brother to spend Christmas with you or other relatives. You should also suggest he join a survivors support group. The American Association of Suicidology provides referrals to local self-help groups for survivors of suicide. Its website is www.suicidology.org. If he joins one, it will give him a place to talk about his feelings with people who will understand because they have them, too. DEAR ABBY: A long time ago, I was dating and living with a wonderful woman. I was arrested and went to jail for possession of cocaine. S he then had an order of protection issued against me for one year. That was 10 years ago. I have been clean from drugs ever since. She has a child with another man now, and I hope everything is great. My problem is, I cant get her out of my mind. I miss her so much and just want the chance to be with her. Any advice? HEARTBROKEN IN NEW YORK DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Yo ur former girlfriend has gone on with her life, and your relationship is ancient history. If she had been willing to forgive you, she wouldnt have taken out the restraining order. If you want to be successful in moving forward in your life, stop looking backward. Its time to focus on your future. A nd some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. A nd He answered and said unto them. I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:39, 40 God is going to be heard from through one means or another and man will listen, though sad to say, in many cases it will be too late. In the meantime Gods people must not hold their peace when there is so little of it in the world.
