$3 million-a-year gambling ring busted


By Pat Copeland and Bonner Presswood
As the most popular sports event of the year was
about to begin, police officers from five agencies ex-
ecuted a surprise raid on seven sports bars in Manatee
County and, in Holmes Beach, at one business and two
private residences that police said were involved in a
sports gambling ring.,
And before the opening kick-off to Super Bowl
XXIX Sunday, 17 people were charged on 47 counts
Including racketeering, bookmaking and keeping a
house of gambling. Police said the illegal gambling
operations brought in $3 million a year in bets.
Four Island residents have been charged in connec-
tion with the gambling ring.
Holmes Beach Police served search warrants at
502 72nd Street, the residence of Michael J. Brady;
3601 East Bay Dr., Unit 210, the office Reynold Glanz,
Florida Homebuyers Insurance, Inc.; and 3601 East
Bay Dr., Unit 114, the residence of Tom Rasmussen.


Public/private


road reviews
By Paul Roat
Instead of the steady roar of rubber on the roads of
the Island, a new sound may begin to reverberate down
the highways:
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Elected officials on Longboat Key have requested
taking over maintenance and ownership of Gulf of
Mexico Drive there. At least one Island mayor is also
considering the idea of taking over ownership of Gulf
Drive from the Florida Department of Transportation.
Officials on Longboat Key have requested the
Metropolitan Planning Organization and the DOT con-
sider turning Gulf of Mexico Drive over to the town.
The matter will be further discussed this month.
Bradenton Beach Mayor Katie Pierola is research-
ing the issue of that city taking over jurisdiction of Gulf
Drive in the southern part of Anna Maria Island.
The DOT would like to get out of the road business
in areas such as barrier islands, preferring to handle
high-volume highways such as U.S. 41 or State Road
70 in the light of continued budget tightening in Tal-
lahassee. Pierola said she was approached last year
about the possibility of taking over maintenance of
Gulf Drive, a notion she rejected out of hand then.
She now is reconsidering the idea.
After all, she mused, Longboat Key is considering
turning Gulf of Mexico Drive into what Commissioner
Bob Drohlich called a "private" road. Tolls of $1 or $2
may be levied for people wishing to pass through the
key. Why not have Longboaters pay to come into
Bradenton Beach?
And, of course, if Longboat has a "private" road they
could ban that awful, gaudy trolley from the tony key.
The problem of all this "public-private-mine!" di-
lemma is cost. Longboat is in a better situation than
Bradenton Beach in light of planned lane widening and
resurfacing there, which means any further mainte-
nance on that road would be about 10 years away. It is


Reynold Glanz, a resident in the 800 block of
North Shore Drive, Anna Maria, surrendered himself
to the sheriffs office Monday evening. He is charged
with racketeering and conspiracy to commit racketeer-
ing.
Glanz is reported to be the owner of the liquor li-
cense at Mickey's Sports Bar & Grill, 6218 Cortez Rd.,
Bradenton, a bar targeted in the Sunday raid. He also
owns Florida Homebuyers Insurance in Holmes Beach.
He is the developer of Sandy Pointe condominiums at
3600 East Bay Drive in Holmes Beach. Glanz recently
purchased the Buccaneer restaurant on Longboat Key.
Rasmussen was charged with racketeering and
conspiracy to commit racketeering and is a business
associate of Glanz,according to Holmes Beach Police
Lt. Dale Stephenson.
Brady was placed in custody at the bar he operates,
Mickey's Sports Bar & Grill. He was charged with five
counts of commercial bookmaking and racketeering.


estimated that about $500,000 per year is needed to
offset future maintenance on the 10-mile length of Gulf
of Mexico Drive there.
Costs will be one of the issues Pierola is research-
ing. She is expected to make a report on road owner-
ship to the Bradenton Beach City Council soon.

BIBLIOPHILES BASK IN BRADENTON BEACH


Tingley dedication guests celebrate vision
Scores of bibliophiles descended on Bradenton Beach Saturday at dedication ceremonies for the Tingley
Library. Library Clerk Carol Sandidge, the library's only paid staff member, greeted invited guests to the
ceremonies, speaking about the vision of everyone involved in making the library happen. She said, "It's
easy to say what might be, but it's harder to think what could be, envision it and make it happen."
Sandidge credited the library board, the architect, the landscape planner, the city and in particular John
Sandberg for turning Beulah Tingley's vision into reality. For more on the dedication and Mrs. Tingley,

Holmes Beach T-end dock history, 1985-1988


By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
This week the Holmes Beach City Council is hold-
ing a work session with residents concerning owner-
ship of T-end canal docks along Marina Drive.
The city's recent removal of nine unsafe docks
from the 72nd to the 75th Street blocks of Marina Drive
re-ignited a 10-year controversy on the question of
ownership.
Public Works Supervisor John Fernandez said that
on three T-end canals north of 72nd Street, parties do
not have deeds to the docks they are using and do not
pay taxes on them. All docks are on city property, he
noted, and the city has the authority to remove those
considered unsafe.
At a recent special work session, residents pro-
tested the removal of the docks. Several said they were
promised dock space in their deeds. Some said they
purchased their homes with the promise of dock space.
Others maintained their use of the docks is
grandfathered.
According to minutes of city work sessions the
problem was discussed at length between July of 1985
and September of 1988. The following is a summary of
those discussions:
Work session, July 11, 1985 Mayor Charlotte
Long said the seawalls and canals are dedicated to the
public but there is a question concerning the land be-
tween the seawalls and the rights of way. She called for
further research.
Work session, Dec. 12, 1985 The mayor said
City Attorney David Deitrich advised council not to get
involved with the docks and suggested that people who
claim ownership assume the responsibility and liabil-
ity for the docks. If owners cannot be found, the docks
should be removed.
There was a suggestion to develop an ordinance to
address the situation.
Work session, Jan. 30, 1986 Council Chairman
Jim Kronus suggested the ordinance state the city is
taking responsibility for the T-end canals for public
use.
Long noted that some residents have deeds from
developer Peder Mickelsen giving them "the right to
the use of the canal" but plats of the canals state that
they are dedicated to the public. Other deeds include
"boat space on canal."
Kronus said people who feel they have a claim
should have the use of the docks and accept the respon-
sibility for them. He suggested a program of dock reg-
istration. If no one registers for docks in disrepair, they
should be torn down.
Councilman Gene Collins said people with use of
the canal in their deeds and those presently using the
docks should have first priority.
The city attorney was instructed to prepare a draft
ordinance.
Work session, May 29, 1986 Kronus said the
purpose of the draft ordinance is to minimize the city's
liability and give the city some control over the opera-
tion of the docks. If someone wants the use of a dock,
he must take responsibility for maintaining it and the
adjacent seawall and make sure it is kept in safe con-
dition, said Kronus.
The lengthy ordinance includes definitions of re-
lated terminology, the responsibility of upland owners,
a disclaimer of responsibility for docks, procedures for
registration, conditions for registration, abatement pro-
visions and the city's non-liability for seawalls.
Work session, June 26, 1986 Councilwoman
Kathleen Mitchell questioned the need for the ordi-
nance and said the docks are not that big a problem.
Former Mayor Long said the question has been dis-
cussed many times previously and the public expects
some action.
Mitchell asked if a person who registers a dock will
be allowed to rent it Long said the city cannot dictate
what a person does with his dock nor can it guarantee
a person a specific dock. Any disputes must be settled
in court.
Councilwoman Mary Mond asked about water and
electricity on the docks and Public Works Supervisor
Hal Johnson suggested they not be allowed in the fu-
ture.
Work session, July 24, 1986 The ordinance was
revised by the city attorney to delete the requirement
for registration by upland property owners. City Clerk
Betty Hill raised questions concerning conflicts in the
ordinance.

T-dock dilemma again
Docks off Marina Drive between 72nd and 75th Streets in Holmes Beach will be the focus of attention this
week as city officials wrestle with what to do with the structures, which are private docks but jut out from city


property. Islander Photo: Pat Copeland

Councilman Tom Huffine suggested preparing a
simpler ordinance. Council instructed the road commit-
tee to work with the mayor and staff to draft some pro-
visions for the preparation of an ordinance.
Work sessions, March 11 and 26, 1987 Coun-
cil reviewed estimates of the cost of seawall recon-
struction on canals on 72nd, 74th and 77th Streets. The
total cost would be between $82,468 and $92,268. It
was noted that docks would have to be disconnected
from the seawalls during construction.
Work session, April 30, 1987 Mayor Marguer-
ite Thompson asked council to review the dock regis-
tration ordinance. She said City Attorney Steve Dye
recommended adoption of the ordinance prior to any
work being done on the seawalls.
Work session, May 14, 1987 The mayor pointed
out that once the registration procedure is established
and people learn they will be responsible for not only
the dock but also insurance and repair of the seawall,
they may not want the docks.
Huffine suggested removing all the docks and
building uniform ones." Councilwoman Pat Geyer
agreed and said the area could be designated as a rec-
reation area and docks rented on a first come, first
served basis with priority being given to the present
users.
Work session, Nov. 19, 1987 The mayor re-
ported that Dye stated that areas at the T-end canals
could not be dedicated as city parks.
The mayor said the seawall at 72nd Street must be
repaired and council must decide how to handle the
dock situation. Huffine suggested that dock owners pay
for a portion of the seawall repair. Mitchell suggested
a yearly maintenance fee.
Public Works Supervisor Trimpe said letters were
sent to all boat owners in the canal stating the city is
considering rebuilding the seawall and advising them
the boats will have to be removed. The city did not
receive a single reply.
Council requested that Dye prepare a dock regis-
tration form and agreed there would be no registration
fee. It also asked Dye to address a procedure for tak-
ing out the docks.
Work session, Dec. 10, 1987 Mitchell said she
is confused about the ordinance which provides for a
person to pay for the repairs to the seawall and says the
person can rent or sell the dock space; however, the
dock space does not belong to the individual. The
mayor said the city is not to regulate or establish own-
ership or use rights.
Mitchell asked what would happen if a person
signs up for a dock space at someone else's dock.
The mayor said the person with the dock could rent
the space from the registrant. She said Dye's letter
stated a person would not have to move his boat just
because someone else has registered the space.
The attorney advised the city not to be involved in


designating size of dock spaces, size of boats, etc.,
because the more regulations the city makes the more
it will be held responsible.
Geyer suggested a public meeting for input from
residents.
Public meeting, Jan. 12, 1987 Resident Eric
Bergan suggested a Bay Palms owners' association be
formed to deal with the problem. Mitchell said the city
cannot limit the use of the docks to Bay Palms residents
because the space is dedicated to the public.
Several residents said the dock spaces were given
to the property owners by Peder Mickelsen and they
own the space. Mitchell said other residents in the city
do not favor paying for seawall repair for a small num-
ber of residents.
Bergan said residents should be allowed to have
water at the docks to wash down their boats. Resident
Bill Saunders said the ordinance says the city has no ju-
risdiction over the docks but the restriction on water
and electricity is a sign of control and jurisdiction.
Work session, Feb. 11, 1988 Council discussed
the following suggestions made as a result of the pub-
lic meeting:
Present dock users should be allowed 30 days to
register their docks before registration is opened to the
public.
The clause in the ordinance eliminating hookups
for water and electricity should be eliminated.
All references to upland owners should be elimi-
nated in the ordinance because their properties are not
a matter of concern.
The ordinance applies only to T-end canals at
72nd, 74th and 76th Streets.
The purpose of the ordinance is to make the user
of the area responsible for repair and maintenance of
the seawall.
Although the original intent of council was to
eliminate a dock in disrepair if no one registered for the
dock, the council now wants to re-establish such docks.
Council is of the opinion that dock spaces should al-
ways be available.
Work session, June 16, 1988 Council agreed to
pursue adoption of the ordinance and requested the city
attorney to draft a final registration form.
Work session, Sept. 29, 1988 Geyer suggested
council take no action to repair or rebuild the T-end
canals. She said the legal problems involved make any
decision unworkable. She suggested that the city con-
demn the area, remove all the docks and plant man-
groves.
The mayor said the money is in the budget for the
repair of seawalls on the canals.
After further discussion, council agreed that no
new docks, fish cleaning stations or water or electric-
ity connections be allowed; to abate derelict docks and
plant mangroves where there are no docks; and to keep
the hazard signs in place.

Bradenton Beach police hearing continues


By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
A three-member board hearing the appeal of a
Bradenton Beach police officer's suspension was still
deliberating the matter at press time Tuesday.
Appeal board members Lee Hornack, Jo Ann
Goodchild and Keith Phillips spent more than five
hours hearing testimony from Bradenton Beach Police
Chief Jack Maloney, disciplined Officer Jason Joel and
other witnesses.
Joel's disciplinary action was the result of two in-
cidents in which Maloney cited him for conduct unbe-
coming an officer. Maloney said Joel "displayed a lack
of common sense and foresight In both incidents."
According to Det Matt Duffy's departmental inves-
tigation, the incidents began on Feb. 9, 1994, when Joel
loaned a personal firearm to a friend, Richard Keller, who
was enrolled in the Manatee VoTec Police Academy. The
friend was to return the gun the next day but a week later
told Joel the gun had been stolen from his car.
Keller filed a report with the Bradenton Police
Department on the theft Feb. 25, 1994, in which he
claimed he parked his vehicle, leaving the doors un-
locked. When Keller returned to the vehicle, Joel's
9mm, semi-automatic, Smith and Wesson pistol which
had been left under the front passenger seat was gone.

Bradenton. A sixth bar, Stetson's Lounge in Palmetto,
was served Monday with an order not to sell alcohol.
Stephenson said the owners will face an adminis-
trative hearing with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms to determine the status of the suspensions.
They have until Feb. 9 to submit written requests to
keep their licenses. The state is seeking to revoke the
liquor licenses permanently.
Other establishments involved included Mulligan's,
5526 15th St. E. and 30 Something Pub and Grill, 5106
14th St. W. Their licenses were not suspended.
Authorities alleged that Mickey's Sports Bar &


On July 24, 1994, a Palmetto police officer at-
tempted to stop a vehicle driving south on SR 55. Three
occupants fled when the car stopped. The officer
caught the fourth occupant and recovered a gun thrown
to the ground. The gun turned out to be the same one
loaned to Keller by Officer Joel.
The second incident occurred on Sept. 9, 1994.
Duffy's report said Joel sold a gun to an employee of
a business that was under surveillance by the depart-
ment. Joel said he did not know the business was be-
ing watched; two other Bradenton Beach Police offic-
ers gave statements to the contrary.
Sgt. Sam Speciale said that in May 1994 he told
Joel about the activities at the business and the indi-
viduals involved in the surveillance. Special noted that
Joel was friends with one of the employees and fre-
quented the business. He was told not to return to the
business.
Officer Michael Klemkosky corroborated
Special's testimony.
"Even though an individual can sell or loan his prop-
erty, including pistols, a policeman is held to a higher stan-
dard," Maloney wrotein his report on Oct. 10, 1994. "Sell-
ing a handgun to someone working in a place you know
to be under investigation is conduct unbecoming an officer
and does not conform to professional police standards.


Grill was the major player in the operations. Comput-
ers were used to record and issue receipts on bets for
college and professional football games. Stephenson
said computer disks were seized in the raid on the La
Vista Bear's Den.
"All of the evidence seized at the bars and resi-
dences will be examined for further leads on others
involved," noted Stephenson. "There could be more
arrests as soon as they start putting names with faces
and it could lead outside of Manatee County."
In addition to Stephenson, Holmes Beach Officers
Velardi and Pentecost participated in the raid. Agencies
included Manatee County Sheriff's Department; Bu-
reau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; Bradenton
Police Department and Palmetto Police Department.


Neither does carelessly loaning a gun to someone who is
of questionable character."

expected, the Anna Maria Island Kiwanis Club's
annual big band dance on Feb. 9 will raise $2,000 to

worth fighting for for ourselves, our children and for
generations to come."

two sons and four grandchildren. He is president of L
& M General Construction, Inc.
"The residents of Anna Maria should be asked their
feeling on vacating city property through a referen-
dum," McKay said. "The city should also look to fund
stormwater improvements through the state block grant
program the same way Bradenton Beach and Holmes
Beach are attempting to do.
"It has always been my objective at preserving the
small-town quality of life we all have come to know,
with respect to the people, the beaches and the beauty


It wasn't a record for the shortest meeting, but
the Anna Maria City Commission met last week and
handled business quickly and efficiently.
There was little business to address, with sev-
eral proclamations and announcements taking the
majority of the commission's attention.
Deno Economou, a county prosecutor and board
member for HOPE Family Services, an agency op-
erating a crisis shelter for victims of child abuse and
domestic violence, read into the record the city's
Family Violence Awareness Week proclamation for
the week Jan. 30 to Feb. 4,1995. Economou thanked
commissioners for their support and reported the
success of prevention through shelters such as
HOPE. He asked for support for their telethon which
airs on Paragon Cable channel 21 on Feb. 4.
Mayor Max Znika proclaimed Feb. 19 to 25
National Engineers Week. The month of February
was proclaimed Safe Driving, Walking and Bicy-
cling Month. Residents and visitors were urged to
renew awareness of the rules of the road.
Znika announced that the official "citizen of the
year" presentation to former Mayor Ray Simches
would be scheduled in February or early March,
dependent on Simches' health and his expressed
desire to attend the ceremony.
The commission approved two home occupa-
tion permits for the same home. Both husband and


that only Anna Maria can offer. As a commissioner, I
will work towards all the interests and concerns of the
residents of Anna Maria."

Mark Ratliff
Mark Ratliff has been journalist for 14 years, work-
ing for Island publications as reporter, photographer and
editor. His employment as a reporter allowed him to at-
tend more than 500 city commission and council meeting

"With my extensive and continuing involvement in
the community, it was a natural evolution that I should
decide to put my experience to use in the service of
Anna Maria," Ratliff said. "If elected, I'll be commit-
ted to keeping Anna Maria the quiet, predominately
residential community that it is now. Through strict
adherence to the law, I shall fight to conserve the tax-
payers hard-earned resources by making no decisions
which could subject the city to undue liability and
needless litigation."

"I pledge continued honest, straight-forward gov-
ernment," Wolfe said.

approved for a home maintenance business and a
personal fitness business respectively.
Commissioner Doug Wolfe announced the "of-
ficial allocation" of Florida Department of Trans-
portation funds in DOT's five-year work program.
For fiscal year 1999-2000 they have budgeted
$340,000 for bike paths. In this year's budget there
is an allocation for $142,000 for a walkway over the
North Bay Boulevard hump-back bridge.
Commissioner Dottie McChesney asked about
input on the "proposed path" of the bike path.
According to Public Works Director Bill
Zimmerman the grant application was submitted
with a map suggesting that the pathway connect
with Holmes Beach from the city limits on Gulf
Drive and follow a path north to Pine.
The path would turn east on Pine and proceed
down Pine one block to North Shore Boulevard. The
suggested path would head north to the tip of the Island,
then south on Bay Boulevard to Galati's Marina. The
loop will connect by returning on Pine from Bay Bou-
levard at the City Pier to meet at North Shore.
Zimmerman said when the grant request was
submitted by former Mayor Simches, it included a
map of the city but that there would be ample oppor-
tunity to decide on where the path would go.
"It's not set in asphalt," Zimmerman said.

Marina permits not immediately forthcoming


By Paul Roat
Bradenton Beach Marina owner Allan Bazzy may
be ready to "pull permits and start work immediately"
to renovate the property, but city officials say he still
has a few barriers to overcome.
Bazzy still needs to receive a variance from the city
for two setbacks in his proposed boat storage shed. His
plans for construction of the 34-foot-high, 200-foot by
84-foot enclosed storage shed to accommodate up to 74
boats call for the building to be closer to Anna Maria
Sound on two sides than current city codes permit.
No date for the hearing has been set, Building Of-
ficial Whitey Moran said.
Bazzy received city council approval last week to
proceed with more than $1 million worth of improve-

ments to the marina, located just south of the Cortez
Bridge. Council members had rejected his renovation
plans in August 1994, a rejection that was overturned
in Circuit Court in December.
City Council members by a 4-1 vote agreed to re-
zone six residential lots to commercial use for the ma-
rina, vacate about 110 feet of Bay Drive North and
about 52 feet of Church Street. Councilman Walt Grace
cast the only negative vote, stating the court order was
an improper use of the constitutional checks and bal-
ance system of executive, legislative and judicial gov-
ernment.
Council members also placed 10 stipulations on
Bazzy for renovation of the marina:
Existing public access for pedestrians be main-


trained for the life of the marina.
Lighting will be compatible to surrounding prop-
erties, with no glare to the neighborhood.
A landscaping plan be prepared by a licensed
landscape architect for approval by city council mem-
bers.
Bazzy will pave or re-pave Church Street and Bay
Drive North in an amount equal to the amount of as-
phalt to be removed through the street vacations.
Bazzy will reimburse the city $8,100 for play-
ground equipment purchased at the Lou Barolo South
Park on Highland Avenue.
The boat storage building will be constructed in
a theme similar to the "Old Town" construction trend
in Bradenton Beach. Bazzy provided an artist's render-
ing for the building, featuring 72 windows in the metal
building, dozens of pinnacles and porches that will di-
minish the impact of the big structure, Bazzy said. He
also agreed to allow the council to choose the colors of
the building, probably blue and yellow.
Encroachments onto Bazzy's property by the city
police station and sanitation building will be deeded to
the city.
Bazzy has two years to complete development of
the property dating from when he receives building
permits to commence construction. He has 60 days to
receive those permits.
A certificate of occupancy for the boat storage
building will not be issued until the existing boat stor-
age racks are removed.
Construction of the boat shed is conditional on
receipt of all applicable federal, state and local build-
ing permits.

Visionaries Bradenton
Beach sees the future
Bradenton Beach, like all the Island, has changed dra-
matically in the past 20, 30, 50 years. How you judge the
change just depends on how long you've been here.
A sudden change in the Island's southern city is so
recognizable that someone who visited only three years
ago and recently moved to Bradenton Beach remarked
on the contrast at the celebration following the dedica-
tion of Tingley Memorial Library.
The dedication ceremonies were an emotional high
for all the volunteers and contributors to Beulah Hooks
Hannah Tingley's dream her vision.
And the finalization of the library comes at time
when so much is coming together for the good in
Bradenton Beach.
The Renaissance that was sparked by the beach
renourishment two years ago is evident now on Bridge
Street and in the surrounding historic district the
result of the vision of city leaders.
Businesses, and particularly the motels and accom-
modations on Gulf Drivehave contributed with exten-
sive renovations, rejuvenations. All contribute to a vi-
sion of a new Bradenton Beach.
The pride that was so evident at the Tingley dedica-
tion and the vision is the reason for all the change.
Bradenton Beach is proud.
Next week, we'll feature a story and pictures on
Bradenton Beach's renaissance and the people that
made it happen.
Road warriors
The trolley was just a skirmish in the battle ahead.
Longboat Key officials made the first maneuver
with inquiries into assuming ownership of Gulf of
Mexico Drive/State Road 789 to the Metropolitan Plan-
ning Organization and Florida DOT.
Gulf of Mexico Drive runs the length of Longboat
Key from the bridge linking it to Bradenton Beach
south to the bridge at Lido Shores.
A counter-maneuver from Bradenton Beach Mayor
Katie Pierola would have that city taking over Gulf
Drive from the bridge to Longboat Key to the city's
northern limits.
The battle line will be drawn at the bridge.
According to MPO, the bridges go with the roads.
And with that comes the inevitable advent of tolls. A
toll to go south into Longboat. A toll to come north into
Bradenton Beach.
Toll. Toll. Toll. Toll.
The trolley might cost a little more to ride, but so
what as long as he pays the toll he ought to be al-
lowed to ride the road.

Amerecycle deal dirty business
for recycling
Are we responsible people?
If so, let us fight for the right to sort our
recyclables, thus greatly reducing the cubic bulk of
trash our Manatee County government would be re-
quired to truck to the land-fill. This would comply with
the state mandate to reduce waste at the same time.
How revolting to think of extricating recyclables
from a mass mixture of all the filthy, unsanitary waste
we discard. This is the present Amerecycle plan! Our
county could find that buyers of recyclables would
refuse Amerecycles's contaminated products or reduce
the price they would pay for same.
How can our county commissioners even consider
the proposed 20-year, costly agreement? Can't we con-
vince them to support other plans which conserve our
precious dwindling resources, to benefit our children
and their children?
Howard and Ruth Burkhead, Holmes Beach.

Educated voters a must for
Anna Maria City election
February 14 is Election Day in the city of Anna
Maria.
How well prepared are we who will exercise one
of our most cherished rights? How will we decide
which candidates should receive our vote?
Are we going to be educated, well-informed vot-
ers? Will we vote for someone because our neighbor or
friend said so? Will we vote for someone only because
the name is familiar? Will we vote for someone be-
cause we have seen and been impressed by so many
street-side signs? Will we vote for someone by "eeny,
meeny, miney, mo?"
Let us say "no" to all of the above. Let us choose,
instead, to learn all that we can about each candidate.
Let us not depend upon hearsay, but upon a special
effort that we make to get to know who and what those
running for office are all about.
How can we get to know them? We can call them
to ask questions; we can attend the Thursday, Feb. 2,
Meet the Candidates night at city hall; we can get our
neighbors together for coffee and invite a candidate in;


we can attend a city commission meeting; we can urge
more voters to attend city commission meetings.
This is the best way to learn how our representa-
tives carry on our business for us.
Lucy Larzelere, Anna Maria City

Trolley's a gas -
Longboat needs blast
About the trolley.. .for the past two Fridays I have
had the pleasure of riding the forbidden trolley.
I can't express how nice the driver Ray was, let
alone how pleasant it was going down Gulf of Mexico
Drive and being able to see just how beautiful it was
without driving. Just to sit and relax and not have to
worry about people pulling out in front of me in traf-
fic and making me a nervous wreck before I even get
to St Armands was worth it all.
I see nothing wrong with this form of transporta-
tion. It not only takes 20 vehicles off the road but there
is no hassle over parking when your arrive.
The response people gave us at various Longboat
Key stops and occasional people on the sidewalks was
just uncalled for. We kept waving and we got rude
gestures and verbal nasty comments. What is wrong
with these people?
I find garbage trucks and city vehicles much more
offensive than this well-kept wooden trolley. As for the
signs on the trolley, it gives people an opportunity to
visit these businesses and see just how lovely these
shops, hotels and restaurants are.
On the first trip after Gary Cremeans's Thursday
meeting with the city officials of Longboat Key, he
rode along to assure our safety. It is ridiculous to think
that these handful of people act as if they own a state
road. Just who does own this road, anyway? Certainly
not Longboat Key. I now see why I live on the most
beautiful Island around.
Last week I rode the trolley again and it was
packed with the nicest people to and from Anna Maria
to St. Armands. It didn't bother us that Longboat Key
people didn't get on. I guess they are too scared of the
handful of people on Longboat Key who would tar and
feather them if they boarded!

THOSE WEE TIE S
Part 12, The War of 1898


by June Alder


Wreck of the
Maine in
Havana
Harbor.


HONEYMOON IN


CUBA


The three-month war with Spain
officially ended on Aug. 12, 1898. Now
the people living around Tampa Bay
had another job to do help the new
Cuban nation to survive. The starving,
homeless victims of 10 years of revolu-
tion needed immediate aid.
Will Bean of Anna Maria Island, a
marine engineer in the war, knew how
to get things done. He volunteered to or-
ganize a mercy boatlift. He begged and
borrowed boats. He collected donations
of milk, foodstuffs and medicines from
citizens and persuaded the businessmen
of Tampa like railroad man H.B. Plant
to deliver train-loads of flour and grain.
Clara Barton, founder of the Red
Cross, took up the cause, traveling to
Washington to get the support of Presi-
dent McKinley. An American medical
team sent to Cuba included Dr. Walter
Reed. He would become famous for
identifying a certain type of mosquito as
the carrier of yellow fever, leading to
the eradication of the terrible disease.
After he had accomplished his mis-
sion for which he was decorated by
the Cuban government Will Bean
was ready to settle down.
The blond, 23-year-old six-footer had
become engaged just before the war began
to 18-year-old Mabel Williams, daughter
of the Port of Tampa postmaster. She was
a lively girl who had briefly acted as an
undercover agent for the Army in the Port
Tampa post office. (Her "spy" story was
told in this space last December.)
Will married Mabel in the spring of
1899 and took her to Havana for their
honeymoon. Mabel was intrigued with
the Cuban people (she spoke Spanish
fluently) and reveled in the social life in
the growing American colony of mili-
tary and civilian officials.
When special ceremonies were held
to commemorate the first anniversary of
the sinking of the battleship Maine, Will
and Mabel were there.
"The wreck in Havana harbor was a
grim reminder of the tragic catastrophe
that had taken place there," Mabel wrote
in her account of her war-time experi-
ences. "The American women in Cuba
decorated the twisted, rusty hulk that


had once been a splendid battleship
with flowers and flags. In a most im-
pressive memorial service the water
was strewn with flowers in memory of
the Americans who lost their lives in
that horrible way."
Meanwhile, back on Anna Maria
Island a birth and a death marked the
end of the eventful year of 1898.
Will's father, widower George
Emerson Bean, lived a lonely life on
Anna Maria during the war. Two of his
sons enlisted and other grown children
were involved in the conflict in various
ways. Only his youngest child, 17-year-
old Edith, remained on the Island.
Suffering a series of strokes, he was
taken to the hospital in Tampa in late
August, where the family gathered about
him. His favorite daughter Mary had
been estranged from her father for some
time he had disapproved of the man
she married. But at George's bedside
they were reconciled, and Mary prom-
ised to care for the Island homestead.
It was the evening of Sept. 1 when
Mary and Wilbur Hall arrived at Anna
Maria Island with their young baby
Edith. That night Mary went into pre-
mature labor and Wilbur delivered the
child, using a medical manual from his
father-in-law's library for guidance.
The tiny girl named Bertha was
never to see her grandfather. He died
three days after she came into the
world. The Halls would live on Anna
Maria Island for nearly a decade, rear-
ing five children here.
In the wake of the war the U.S.
government decided to establish Fort
Dade on Egmont Key to protect Tampa
Bay from attack by foreign powers. It
was a fortunate decision for the Halls
and other Island settlers. They sup-
ported their families by selling produce
to the fort until it was closed in 1922
- its guns never having fired on an
enemy ship.

Curbside recycling could save millions: McClash


By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
At a press conference last week, Manatee County
Commissioner Joe McClash unveiled a curbside recy-
cling plan he said would save residents nearly $10
million per year over a plan currently being considered
by the county.
The county commission is in negotiations with
Amerecycle, a company that uses the mixed solid waste
(MSW) method of recycling. In this method, all garbage
and recyclables are placed in cans at curbside and taken
to a plant where the recyclables are then sorted out by
hand. The remaining garbage is shredded and spread out
to cure. Once the curing process is completed, the result-
ing material is bagged and sold as compost.
McClash has steadfastly opposed this plan for nu-
merous reasons including the unproven technology of
the MSW method, the long term (20 year) contract
being sought by Amerecycle, the cost, the environmen-
tal impact of the compost, the contamination of,
recyclables, the odor resulting from the MSW method,
health risks for plant employees who sort the garbage
and the financial condition of the vendor.
The purpose of the press conference was to present
the cost of a source separated curbside program devel-
oped by his staff after two years of research, said

McClash. Staff members used figures from the
county's computers that were verified by the county's
staff. He also refuted cost comparisons between the
MSW method and a curbside plan that were recently
presented by representatives of Amerecycle.
"I believe the information that was presented by
Amerecycle the other week was highly inflated and not
really based on the actual costs that are available," he
explained. "That's my purpose here today to chal-
lenge and question those who came up with those fig-
ures so we can give the public the accurate information
they deserve."
In Amerecycle's presentation, he said, the number of
city and county households was inflated by 25,857 and the
cost of a curbside program was inflated by $12,013,000.

He said based on quotes from vendors and national aver-
ages, curbside recycling would cost $1.92 per household
monthly versus $3.83 presented by Amerecycle.
Based on $1.92 per household, McClash said the
annual cost for residential curbside recycling would be
$1,182,996 in the unincorporated county and $507,894
in the cities for a total of $1,690,860. Adding to that the
annual commercial cost of $50,000 would result in a
total of $1,740,860. Amerecycle's annual cost, based
on 163,800 tons of garbage per year multiplied by a
tipping fee of $68.43 per ton, would be $11,208,834.
The annual savings would be $9,467,974, he said.
If that is multiplied by 20 years, the length of the con-
tract sought by Amerecycle, the savings would be ap-
proximately $240,000,000.
"I see this as a viable plan we can move toward,"
he noted. "This is my perception of what we should be
doing because of the uncertainty of waste technology."
McClash suggested a pilot program of curbside
recycling, which would require a short term commit-
ment versus a 20 year contract. It would also meet the
state recycling mandate's good faith requirement.
"We'll never know what this community has to offer
if we don't try the least costly method first," he stressed.
"There's a lot of people in this community who would like
to see a newspaper recycled into more paper, not recycled
into compost that might wind up in the landfill."
Many residents at the press conference asked
McClash how to bring his plan to the attention of the
county commission. He said the first move must come
from residents asking the board to consider the plan.
The board could then direct the staff to study the plan.
A copy of the plan was sent to the acting county admin-
istrator and to staff members, he said.
"The driving force in the recycling issue should be
the community," he noted.
In order for the board to take the next step and seek
presentations from recyclers, he said, negotiations with
Amerecycle would have to be closed and vendors in-
vited to make presentations to the board.
McClash said there would be another public hearing
on the Amerecycle contract but no date has been set, ac-
cording to the county administrator's office. A date for a
commission vote on the contract has not been set.

Planners hope

to close on A-1

district

request
By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
On Feb. 7, the Holmes Beach Planning Commis-
sion plans to make a decision on a request from
moteliers in the A-1 district to increase the density from
10 to 28 units per acre.
The district extends from the Martinique condo-
miniums at 52nd Street to 74th Street, from Gulf Drive
to the water. It is classified as multi-family residential/
seasonal tourist with a density of 10 units per acre.
Members will also discuss a reply from City Attor-
ney Patricia Petruff to their question of whether the
density change can include existing motels only. The
board received a reply prior to its meeting last week but
felt it needed some time to digest the contents of
Petruff 's letter before holding a discussion.
"It is my opinion that the comprehensive plan des-
ignation for this district can be changed from the cur-
rent designation to a multi-use designation," wrote
Petruff.
Petruff outlined the following options for achiev-
ing the change:
Determine the total acreage within the district and
establish acceptable percentages for each type of use to
be allowed.
Assign each use in the district to a specific geo-
graphic location.
Delineate the permitted uses in the district and allow
the city council the discretion to make the decision on how
much of each type of use would be appropriate.
"Under the options I described, the use of percent-
ages for each type of use would place the existing motel
owners on an equal footing with all other owners lo-
cated within the district," noted Petruff.
The planning commission meets at 2 p.m.


200-plus-pound turtle found dead on beach
As Chuck Shumard, head of the local turtle watchers, looked this turtle over for signs of what might have
killed it, he said it saddens him to see this. "You just think of all the baby turtles this turtle could have pro-
duced. The turtle, discovered dead last week on the beach in the 700 block of North Shore Drive in Anna
Maria, showed no evidence of distress or propeller damage. It was removed and buried by city workers.

Islander to be honored at All Island

Denominations' service


An Islander, who has not yet been named, will be
honored Feb. 5 when he or she is presented the Myron
Bunnell Award at All Island Denominations' (AID)
annual ecumenical service. The award, which in the
words of an AID spokesman is given to "a community
volunteer who has gone above and beyond the call of
duty," will be presented by the Rev. Frank Hutchison,
pastor of Roser Memorial Cdommunity Church. The


award is named for the late Rev. Myron Bunnell of
Harvey Memorial Church, who was one of the
founders of AID.
The service will begin at 3 p.m. at Gloria Dei
Lutheran Church. The seven Island churches have all
been invited to participate, says Gloria Dei's pastor, the
Rev. Dan Kilts. Fr. Don Baier of St. Bernard Catholic
Church will be the keynote speaker.

Eight firms have responded to a request by the
City of Bradenton Beach to apply for another state
grant for improvements near Bridge Street.
The engineering, architectural, planning or grant-
writing firms will be interviewed and evaluated this
week by a three-member selection panel. The panel's
selections will be presented to the city council in a
special meeting Feb. 2 for final approval.
The city hopes to receive another grant for
$500,000 from the Florida Department of Community
Affairs in a category called the Community Develop-
ment Block Grant program.
Although the work to be done with the grant -
if the city receives the funds is not yet determined,
officials have indicated renovations to the fishing pier
and development of a commercial parking lot on First
Street North, as well as sidewalks along that street and
Third Street South, may be possible targets for the
state-funded improvements.
Selection panel members are Councilman John
Kaufmann, businessman Mike Norman and Commu-
nity Redevelopment Agency Chairman Clem Dryden.
The firms to be Interviewed include:
Richard Fawley Architects in conjunction with
Swan, Moody and Associates; Larson Engineering;
and Clark, Roumelis and Associates, Inc. The group
was responsible for Bradenton Beach's last success-
ful grant application.
Clark, Roumelis and Associates also submitted
an individual proposal.
Smith and Gillespie Engineering.

ing and pastel for a six-week session on Fridays be-
ginning Friday, Feb. 10, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m..

a five-week session.
To register and for information call the Artists
Guild Gallery, 5414 Marina Dr., Island Shopping
Center, Holmes Beach at 778-6694.

Call for Art League's schedule of
winter classes
The Anna Maria Island Art League's new winter
class schedule is out.
The league has a wide variety of classes, work-
shops and demonstrations to choose from. Many
classes are offered on a weekly basis.
Stop by the league at 5312 Holmes Blvd., Holmes
Beach, for call 778-2099 for more information.

Guild Gallery show features
porcelain china
Porcelain artist Helen DeForge has opened a dis-
play of her hand-painted china at the Artists Guild
Gallery, 5414 Marina Dr., Island Shopping Center,
Holmes Beach.
The public is invited to review the exhibit.

Kaufmann said the evaluation process will deal
with the categories of administration, planning and en-
gineering. The deadline for submitting the grant appli-
cation to Tallahassee is March 28.
The selection committee tabled a request by
Bradenton Beach architects Emily Anne Smith and
Tom Eatman to re-advertise the project. The architects
said "since architects were not included in the first
advertisement, shift all architectural projects into the
anticipated second grant of $500,000 and re-advertise
for professional architectural services" in a letter to the
selection committee.
"It should be noted that of the eight or so submit-
tals, only one architectural firm applied," Eatman &
Smith's letter continued. "This should indicate to the
city that the applicants knew nothing of an architectural
requirement. To select only one architect who submit-
ted in this first advertisement certainly would not be in
keeping with the spirit of the competitive negotiations
act endorsed by the city and the State of Florida."
Dryden said he would ask Tallahassee officials if
Eatman & Smith's request could be honored, but selec-
tion committee members agreed an additional proposal
would probably not be accepted.
"Please don't make the call if you believe it may
hurt this grant," Smith said.
Dryden said he would have an answer to the ques-
tion by the end of this week.

Beulah Hooks Hannah Tingley:

a woman of vision in Bradenton Beach


By Joy Courtney
Some might say former Islander Beulah Hooks
Hannah Tingley was a woman before her time. For
today's women, she was a person whose beliefs lead to
action which pioneered the power of women from
the voting booth to the U. S. Supreme Court.
"Beulah," as she liked to be addressed, was one
woman who over the course of her life chipped a stone
off the rock of the hardened concept of equal rights for
women: a pebble, easily forgotten.
But that won't happen.
Soon ground will be broken for the Tingley Library
in Bradenton Beach to be built with money bequeathed
to the city by Beulah for only that purpose. But, after
the ribbon-cutting, and our great-great-grandchildren
go rushing off to the "library" to finish a report, who
will remember Beulah? We all will.
Beulah Rebecca Hooks was born August 29,1893,
into the Lakeland, Florida, pioneer family of Thomas
Jefferson and Louella Hulsey Hook who chose to raise
their family in the nearby community of Clermont.
Along with her six siblings, Alton, Lloyd, Nellie,
Mamie, Hulsey and Tommy, Beulah experienced life
as a daughter of a citrus farmer as well as two activists;
her father served in the Florida Legislature from 1893
to 1895 and her mother was a pioneer in her own right
- she was the first teacher in Clermont.
Beulah's first of many reported accomplishments
appeared in the October 20, 1910, issue of The Courier
Informant, a Polk County newspaper published in
Bartow. At age 16, she addressed the twentieth annual
reunion of the Florida Division United Confederate
Veterans held in Bartow.

Joy Courtney was the first editor of The Islander
Bystander. Having retired from that position for busi-
ness interests and a personal life as well, Joy is cur-
rently special liaison to Anna Maria Island Elementary
School, reporting and photographing their activities
for the newspaper.


Beulah Hooks Hannah Tingley, benefactress of the
new library in Bradenton Beach
In a clear, loud and resounding voice, a voice soon
to become a major political contributor, she said in part
to the gathered veterans, "There is not a soldier among
you but that has suffered all the pains of cold and hun-
ger or lain awake at night on the frozen ground with the
stars shining overhead, thinking with anguish of loved
ones at home.
"There is not a soldier among you but that, when
the war was over, with a courage too high for mortal
conception, went to work and rebuilt and helped to re-
build our whole beautiful Southland as it is today.


"We of the younger generation cannot conceive
of the depths of your nobleness. It is too wonderful
to understand."
In a world without microphones, Beulah continued
to develop her oratorical talents winning state recogni-
tion in her high school days.
She married John B. Hannah (year unknown), an
employee of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. From his
obituary dated November 13, 1941, it is assumed he
and Beulah moved to Tampa from Lakeland in 1939.
Being the woman behind the man, as she was,
Beulah took her oratorical talents as well as her active
interest in the Democratic Party with her.
The Daily Sun Gainsville, Florida, dateline May
29, 1932, reports Beulah's previous activity within the
Democratic party from which the highlight of her po-
litical career would blossom.
The article read, "Mrs. Beulah Hooks Hannah of
Lakeland, one of the outstanding workers for the
Democratic party in Florida, has recently announced
her candidacy for delegate from the state at large to the
National Democratic Convention. Mrs. Hannah is a
native Floridian and has, ever since women were given
the right to vote, been active in behalf of the party. In
the memorable campaign of 1928, she was drafted by
the national executive committee as a campaign
speaker and at that time became known all over Florida
for her forceful speeches in behalf of the national
Democratic ticket Those who heard her at that time say
she eloquently presented the true and tried principles
of the Democratic party in a most effective way."
Beulah not only won the delegate seat, but was
given the honor of seconding the 1932 Democratic
presidential nominee.
"The honor of seconding the nomination of Franklin
D. Roosevelt by the Florida delegation will fall to Mrs.
Beulah Hooks Hannah, it was decided at a conference of
the delegation in Jacksonville," according to the Lakeland

Ledger & Star Telegram, June 21, 1932.
Wearing a small, brown straw hat, the forerunner
of her trademark wide-brimmed hats, Beulah addressed
the 1932 National Democratic Convention. According
to an article written by Arthur Brisbane which appeared
in The Washington, D.C, Herald on July 1, 1932, "Mrs.
Beulah Hook Hannah, of Florida, in a voice that com-
bines the qualities of Stentor and Bourke Cockran, is
honored to second the nomination of Roosevelt No
man here has spoken better than she speaks. Roosevelt
opponents try, but cannot drown her voice."
As reported by the Permanent Chairman of the
convention, Beulah resounded, "Mr. Chairman, fellow
Democrats: In the name of the great State of Florida,
which embraces inhabitants of every state in the Union,
it is my honor to second the nomination of Honorable
Franklin D. Roosevelt (boos and applause) for Presi-
dent of these United States, a man whose entire record
of public service shows a sympathy and an understand-
ing of the needs of the great masses of people of this
country. A man who remembers the forgotten man. A
man who really cares whether the farmers of this coun-
try get a decent living for their arduous toil, and the
man who really cares for the health and the happiness
of the little children of our country.
"With this great human leader at the head of the
Democratic party, the party of the people, we will win
a sweeping victory In November, and these sad, long,
lean years that we are now passing through will seem
but a nightmare in the light of a better day and a better
administration.

cratic leaders that the man who came to this convention

was captured in the Tampa Sunday Tribune of July 2,
1944. In the article sub-titled, "Women at Peace
Table," she is quoted, "Rulers of the various nations
undoubtedly will make the agreements on the terms of
armistice, but among those who work out the plans
should be women.
"In fact, I see no reason why there should not be
equal representation of men and women at the peace-
planning table, for women have as great, or greater, a
stake in peace the sons they bear.
"I don't believe war ever will be averted until
women all over the world take an intelligent interest
and active part in government."
When her national political life ended, Beulah re-
turned to manage her family's citrus groves in Lake-
land, but still found herself as the only woman in the
area fighting for growers' rights.
As a documented activist and senior citizen one
who also found time over the years to write a collec-
tion of short stories and poems submitted to such pe-
riodicals of the day and today as The Atlantic Monthly
or Jack and Jill Beulah chose to retire on Anna
Maria Island.
When she was a child, her family would come to
the Island often to fish. So, with many childhood
memories to sustain her, as well as an inbred love of the
sport, Beulah settled in Bradenton Beach.
It was on one of many deep sea fishing trips while
she was in her late 60s or early 70s that Beulah met, and
ultimately married, Harvey Tingley, a retired farmer
from Ohio. After he passed away, she continued to live
in Bradenton Beach, and later, for unknown reasons,
suddenly moved to Holmes Beach. From a relative's
recollection, "she wanted a change."
Another love of Beulah's reading led to her
donation for a library. "She loved her books," said her
niece, Anne Friedt of Bradenton Beach, "and they did not
have a reading room. She always said she was going to
leave money so people could have a place to read."
And so she did. Beulah left a trust of $450,000 for
just that purpose; a legacy compiled from the sale of
property in Lakeland and from successful dabbling in
the stockmarket (Kodak and Gillette were her favorite
investments) which was, according to her family, the
source of the majority of her money.

In the mid 1970s, Beulah continued her activism in
various causes, but now with a pen. Her memoir ma-
terials are full of letters to the editor of the Manatee
Times (1976) touting her opinion about the problems
of New York City down to pointing out a local, small
feminist injustice" ... County Court instructs men to
wear coats and ties but doesn't tell women what to wear
except for banning pant suits. Could it be that he thinks
to deny spectators the sight of women's legs flashing
from mini-skirts and slit-skirts would be cruelty to
dumb animals?"
What a gal!
Beulah Hooks Hannah Tingley passed away on
April 7, 1986, at the age of 92. Based on a collection
of reports from family and caregivers, Beulah's end can
be pictured with a libation at her side and a cigarette in
the ashtray both reflective of her strong "my way"
personality.
I regret I'll never be able to sit down and share the
same with her. She never doubted women's ability to
be whatever they wanted to be from astronaut to,
from my prospective, editor of a proud, local, Island
newspaper. And thanks to her and women like her, no
one else does either.

It takes more than a little plaster to keep Melissa down


Being confined to a cast from the waist down for
months is not something most people would find enjoy-
able, but 7-year-old Melissa Wolfe is making the best
of it. Born with a dislocated hip that was not diagnosed
until recently, Melissa underwent surgery a week be-
fore Christmas and has been in a cast ever since.
The Holmes Beach first grader speaks directly to
the matter when asked what is the problem with her left
leg.
"I limped," she says.
That's not something you expect to see in an oth-
erwise healthy child, and the persistence of Melissa's
difficulty in walking led her parents to search for a
doctor who could determine why.
"When she was born her hip was dislocated it
was out of the socket," says Fidele Wolfe, Melissa's
mother. "They really should have found out about it
during her six-week checkup, but they didn't discover
it. When she got to kindergarten she was limping. I
took her to the doctor and nobody could figure out what
was wrong with her."
First grade came and Melissa was still limping.
A new doctor, Dr. Vega, made the diagnosis -
congenital dislocation of the hip. Finally knowing why
Melissa limped, the family now had encouraging news
how to correct the problem.
"We took her to Shriner's Hospital in Tampa, and
they gave her an operation where they put the hip back
in place," Mrs. Wolfe says. Doctors put some pins in
and six weeks later, on Jan. 26, they took the pins out.
"She should be out of the cast in another month or
two," Mrs. Wolfe says, explaining that Melissa will
then have to go through physical therapy to regain the
strength in her legs that was lost during the time she
was confined and unable to walk.
Although the Wolfes are happy that their
daughter's problem has been cured, they are concerned
about the possibility of some long-term complications
arising from the unusually late diagnosis of Melissa's
hip problem.
"Because she walked on it for so long, it wore the
bone away, so one of her legs ended up shorter than the
other," Mrs. Wolfe says. She says when Melissa is
about 18 she may have to have surgery to lengthen the
leg. In the meantime, Melissa will have to wear a lift
in her shoe.
Despite her temporary handicap, Melissa maintains
a very positive attitude toward her ordeal, pointing out
that there are advantages to being a child who spends
her waking hours in a wheelchair and can't go to
school.
"I get to watch lots of movies," Melissa says, not-
ing that her favorite is "The Nightmare Before Christ-
mas." She giggles like any little girl and breaks into a
wheelchair-shaking laughter when the reporter points


out the irony of that title in relation to Melissa's surgery
having taken place on Dec. 15.
Other than getting to watch a lot of movies, Mel-
issa says there are other advantages to not being able
to get around too easily.
"Oh yeah, yeah!" she says. "It's comfortable it's
like 'Richie Rich,'" she says, referring to the popular
movie about a spoiled rich boy.
"She's got all the servants she needs," says Mrs.
Wolfe, smiling.
The worst part of being in the cast is obvious.
"I can't walk that's the only bad problem,"
Melissa says.
Although Melissa doesn't get out as much as she used
to, her friends haven't forgotten the path to her home. Her
faithful companion is her 7-year-old cousin, Thea
Longton, and her fellow Brownie Scouts and classmates
from Mrs. Mannino's room have also made quite an ef-
fort to let Melissa know she's being thought of.


Cast her a line
For a while, Melissa
Wolfe, 7, will be in a
wheelchair as she is
confined to a below-the-
waist cast as she recu-
perates from surgery to
correct a dislocated hip.
Melissa says she's
making the best of the
situation and enjoys the
opportunity to see a lot of
S movies, but she'd really
love to have a bunch of
pen pals to help pass the
h time until she's back on
her feet. See the story for
Melissa's address.














Figuratively covering her in love and kindness,
Melissa's Brownie troop made a quilt and sent it to her.
"That's what made her cheer up the most when she
was in the hospital," Mrs. Wolfe says. "Her Brownie
troop made it, they signed it and hugged it, and then
they had all the kids in her classroom hug it and sign
it."
In addition to the hug-quilt, Melissa's friends at
Anna Maria Elementary School made a bunch of get-
well cards for her. Even though the cards, made from
pink construction paper, make quite a stack, Melissa
says she wouldn't mind receiving more mail to keep
her company until she's back on the street, riding her
bicycle just like she used to do.
"Oh, yes!" Melissa says enthusiastically when
asked if she'd like those cards and letters to keep com-
ing.
If you'dlike to be Melissa's pen pal, you can write
to her at 7504 Palm Dr., Holmes Beach 34217.

Greg Ortiz of Orlando was the hit of the show with
his "show girl" dolls. The Vegas-looking show girls,
complete with jewels and feathers, carried pricey

showing in Anna Maria, Ortiz's creations were
bound for a New York City show, where Pedota says
they're sure to sell. He is pictured among fans and

Science ca
by Katharine Wight
Islander School Correspondent
A muscle in your face has started to twitch. Your
eyes are rolling back inside your head. Foam is begin-
ning to form in the corners of your mouth.
Calm down. You haven't been bitten by a rabid
dog. You just heard the words that strike terror in the
hearts of millions of parents and children alike: "It's
science project time!"
Perhaps science teachers don't know how much
everyone loves to hate science projects. My teacher
seems fairly clueless. When he announced last Novem-
ber that we would all be expected to have a science
project by Jan.18, the resounding groans of my class-
mates shook the foundation of the school.
Did my science teacher look disappointed? No. He
merely grinned and said, "I knew you'd be thrilled."
So the months pass by and you gradually forget the
horror until two weeks before it's due. Then you rush
around experimenting and filling out forms, putting a
board together and filling out forms, collapsing from
exhaustion and filling out forms.
Finally when all the forms are filled out and the
project is the best it will ever be considering the data book
has been nibbled on by the pet mouse and there are muddy
paw prints on the board from a cat chase you take the
whole setup over to the school's gymnasium.
There you encounter many other projects, most of
which appear to be far better than yours. You spend all
day and all night wondering if an "A" in science was
really worth panicking over.
You convince yourself you didn't win a prize.
And then the next morning, reality sets In as the
names are called out during morning announcements
over the school intercom.
Did you win? Better check this list to make sure
you didn't miss hearing your name.

What's hot and
what's not
By Bonner Presswood
Hot sauce is the current rage.
From Duffy's Tavern to the Manatee County
Fair, you find folks "trying on" hot sauces. In case
you've been buried under a rock for awhile, or up
north, hot is hot.
In the interest of trivial pursuits, you may wish to
note that salsa took the lead over ketchup in condiment
sales a couple of years ago.
At Duffy's, they have the "home-grown" variety.
Labeled "Island Brew," it's stirred up by one of the
regular customers, Steve. They serve it and sell it at
Duffy's with a warning.
A few week's ago Peggy Geyer (she runs Duffy's
when Mom/proprietress/Holmes Beach Commissioner
Pat Geyer is out running city government) was sam-

pling hot sauces with customers at the counter. She had
stopped at a hot spot in Palmetto where she picked up
several varieties of really hot stuff.
What you may recall as the "Jelly Factory Wel-
come Center" at U.S. 41 and 301 just north of the Pal-
metto city limits is into the hot stuff in a big way. The
large sign on the building now beckons you to stop in
at "Fiery Food Junction."
They produce and bottle five varieties
of "Da'ti Do-It" sauces, relish
and mustard.
We ...
sampled
some of
-t-
the Da'tl
varieties at
their booth at the
Manatee County
Fair last week but the hot,
crispy pickles were by far the favorite.
You 1 1 have to head to the Fiery Food
Junction yourself for tasting of the 200 plus
other varieties. Among the hottest in the
collection are Dave's Insanity Sauce, Scorned
Woman, Capital Punish- ment, Last Rites and
Hellfire & Damnation.
They have some hot vari-eties of salsa and mus-
tard too, including Mustard from Hell and Ass Kickin'
Mustard. A popular, milder variety is Oak Hill Farm's
Vidalia Mustard.
The shop includes the traditional Florida jellies -
guava, palmalito, key lime and green pepper and
some additional oddities. How about some hot Jelly
beans, hot peanuts or satisfying two cravings in one
with jalopefia filled chocolates?
The Fiery Food Junction is open weekdays from 9
to 5 and Saturday from 9 to 3. Head like you were go-
ing to the Skyway Bridge through downtown Palmetto
and when you get to the north side of town you'll find
them on the left.
Oh, and tell 'em we sent you.
Coming and going, going


Staff and friends of Gulf Drive Cafe gathered for
a surprise retirement party for Tony Pirillo, part-
owner and Tom Chipain's partner since they opened
in Jan. 1980. Perhaps Tony will have time to catch
some fish now.
Rumors are flying that a German pastry shop
will open soon in the former hardware store on
Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. That should go
nicely with the coffeehouse across the street. Fresh
strudel anyone?
Chef Joe and his buffet team, formerly with Pete
Reynard's, then the Anchorage, and finally last
heard from at Crabby Bill's, have left Crabby's for
where we do not know.
Thankfully, the buffets live on in spite of the
coming and going.

One man's fortune
another's misfortune
With gambling raids in Bradenton this week, six
bars were closed indefinitely, including a favorite of
Islanders, Club Olivers.
It's a boon to the Island establishments who are
already reporting an increase in business. Unfortu-
nately, the Super Bowl gambling raids put a lot of
good folks out of jobs. Like the band "Blindside,"
scheduled to play at Ace's on Cortez Road. Or the
"Saltwater Cowboys" who would have played this
weekend at Olivers. Anyone need a band?
Look for a new-to-the-Island band this weekend
at The Anchor Inn. Owner Bobby Tingler says he'll
give a try to a group that has quickly grown popu-
lar in Sarasota and came with a recommendation
from rocker John Prestia, "Sound & Fury." The fol-
lowing week, you get four nights of Lifeguard -
Wednesday through Saturday, Feb. 8 to 11.
The Dry Dock has "Willy Steele" Thursday
through Saturday this week. They're mostly Island-
ers and mostly good music and lots of fun.
At D.Coy Ducks, look for Connie & Dave,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Canada and crepes
The students in Karen Paul's third grade class at our Island school spent an hour making crepes to eat
smothered in maple syrup as part of their study of Canada. How do crepes and maple syrup tie in with
Canada? According to the students (and, yes, this was a test) crepes, which originated in France, were
brought to Canada by its French settlers. Also, Canada is the leading producer of maple syrup. Canadian
maple trees produce 10 to 12 gallons of syrup a year. (All the students passed the test.) Pictured with the
children is mom volunteer Nancy Mertz.

Arbor Day celebrated at school
Anna Maria Elementary School and the Anna Maria
Island Beautification Committee teamed up to
celebrate Arbor Day by planting a jacaranda tree on
the school's grounds. Arbor Day, a day dedicated to
planting trees, was started in Nebraska in 1860 by
pioneer Sterling Morton. Morton helped to settle
Nebraska by planting trees as wind breakers so
homes could be built. Manning the shovels are
students Dakota Whitaker and Laura Potter. Princi-
pal Jim Kronus stands behind the tree with Beautifi-
cation Committee members Marg Soeffker, Billie
Martini, and Bob and Mary Ann Jones.

"The Best News"


The Island Poet
I hope you'll live to a ripe old age, but I doubt
if you will make it,
'Cause for every dollar you get in, there's two
guys out there to take it.
They say things are going down and gas is the
best buy by far,
But a lot of good that does you if you can't
afford a car.
The politicians say they can't get by so they
give themselves a raise,
But never stop to think it's always the little guy
who pays.
And if they raise that old tax again it can only
lead to grief,
'Cause where will they get the money if we're
all out there on relief.

Snook, sharks and a whale of a tale


By Bob Ardren
Outdoor Perspectives
Snook season re-opened yesterday, February 1.
Consider this just a friendly reminder, in case it slipped
your mind. Truth is, I wouldn't know where to find a
snook this time of the year.

Little Sarasota Bay forum -
sessions 2, 3
Don't forget the upcoming sessions of the Little
Sarasota Bay Forum scheduled for February 8 and 9 at the
Sarasota County Fairgrounds. (You know, I have never
been to a meeting concerning Sarasota Bay that's been
held within sight of the water I think it's a plot.)
Sponsored by the Sarasota Bay National Estuary Pro-
gram, the meetings are scheduled for 6 p.m. each day in
the Potter Building, at 2896 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota.
One group that will probably show up in force is
the newly established (about one year old) Restore Our
Bay (ROB) organization. More than 100 people
showed up at a ROB meeting last Friday night, and
spokesman Ed Steinfeldt told me they were all local
property owners concerned about "the dirty, smelly
Bay down here."
Steinfeldt says his group's concern is the eventual
re-opening of Midnight Pass. If you're interested, call
him at 349-1489.

13th Cortez Commercial
Fishing Festival
How ironic can something be? The 13th Annual
Commercial Fishing Festival in Cortez, scheduled from
10 a.m.-5 p.m. Feb. 18, also marks hard times (to be
generous) for Florida's inshore net fishers.
Florida voters last November approved a gill net
ban that will certainly mean the end of a way of life for
many commercial fishers and quite possibly the end
of the Cortez fishing festival, too. Although their future
is uncertain, the people of Cortez are proud of their
heritage. You might want to take what could be a final
opportunity to celebrate it just a little, too, with some
fried or smoked mullet and some good live music.
Admission is $2. To find the festival, just drive east
off the Island on Cortez Road. There'll be signs once
you get over the bridge.

Twilight of the sharks?
The big coastal sharks, hammerheads, duskys, sand-
bar and whites and 18 other species are disappear-
ing at a frightening rate. That's according to the January
issue of the American Littoral Society's area newsletter.
What's really interesting is how fast this is all hap-

opening. For example, in 1979 a total of 135 tons of
shark were caught for commercial purposes; that num-
ber skyrocketed to 7,122 tons by 1989, when more
people discovered you could eat "the man in the gray
suit," as one of my diving buddies calls sharks.
The Florida Marine Fisheries folks estimate shark
numbers are down 75 percent, and capped fishing last
year at 3,600 tons. This year they've raised that cap to
3,800 tons despite two federal advisory panels oppos-
ing the increase.
"Decimating an apex predator that eats stingrays,
octopus, fish, seals and even birds may have unfore-
seen consequences," Dave Bulloch writes in the news-
letter Southern Shore Lines, "not unlike killing off
wolves, in turn triggering a deer population explosion
followed by widespread destruction of new-growth
forest. One never knows how the chain of life is af-
fected until it is altered then it's often too late."

Sea monsters at Mote
On Feb. 6, Mote Marine Laboratory welcomes
artist Richard Ellis for an evening. Ellis is a renowned
painter of marine national history subjects; his work
has been published in National Geographic, Audubon
and Science Digest
His latest book, "Monsters of the Sea," investi-
gates the myths and legends of sea monsters. Reserva-
tions for the 6:30 p.m. presentation by Ellis must be
made by calling 388-4441, ext. 567.

Have you heard the one about ...
... catching yellowtails with a gold necklace? And
then having the yellowtail catch a barracuda twice?
Gear maker Shimano has a Fish Story Tournament
every year, and this year Frank Castellano of Tampa
and Dan Graubert of West Palm shared the $1,500 first
prize with this true (?) tale of gold, a yellowtail snap-
per and a barracuda.
The two friends were on a snorkeling trip to the Keys
last summer. Castellano says he tossed a handful of glass
minnows onto a shallow reef, then got into the water with
a mask and snorkel to see what would show up.
He was quickly surrounded by a school of grunts
and yellowtails eagerly gulping down the live chum.
One of the yellowtails snapped Castellano's gold
hook necklace and hung there, wiggling. Before he
could unhook the fish, Castellano felt a sharp tug on his
neck and looked over to see a barracuda flash by. All
that was left of the yellowtail was a head.
Castellano climbed back into his boat with the
bloody fish head hanging on his neck, more than a bit
shaken by the whole event.
But then he had an idea.

Castellano decided to teach the barracuda a lesson.
He baited a spinning rod with the yellowtail head,
tossed it to the waiting barracuda and immediately
hooked up.
A vicious little battle took place before the barra-
cuda was brought alongside the boat, given a lecture
about scaring human beings, and released.
Hey, it's true. Or at least that's what they say. And
here we thought Anna Maria had all the aggressive
barracuda in the Gulf.

Island Park news
So how much has your rent gone up over the past four
years? If you've been running Sarasota's downtown ma-
rina, your rent's gone up 50 percent that's the increase
in Sarasota's new contract with Marina Jack, Inc.
Here's a story that Anna Maria and Bradenton
Beach officials may find interesting when they start
thinking about fishing pier franchise agreements in the
coming months...
When Sarasota brought in an appraiser to establish
the rental value of marina operation at Marina Jack's,
the appraiser said $185,000 a year, minimum. After the
usual give-and-take that's part of all negotiations, the
rent finally went from $135,621 last year to $165,000
this year. Plus, Marina Jack agreed to take over
$20,000 worth of maintenance covered by the city in
the past for Bayfront Park, adjacent to the marina-res-
taurant complex.
And get this, that $165,000 is the minimum Marina
Jack owners will pay. The city can claim three percent
of the marina's gross if it's a larger number.
For years folks in Sarasota have muttered about the
"deal" Marina Jack got from the city. Once upon a time
that might have been true, but not anymore.
The new contract also means it's time for some
improvements in Island Park. A new, open-air oyster
bar is planned for the area just south of the present res-
taurant; the project will also include long-needed
handicapped-accessible restrooms.
Finally, and I guess this is my favorite, a new foun-
tain (probably to be designed by Wyland) is planned for
the tip of Island Park. Marina Jack manager Lee
Sullivan won't release a drawing of the proposed foun-
tain yet "It still has to be approved by the city and
all" but I'm willing to bet it's going to be great.
Wyland is the artist who did the "Whaling Wall"
at Mote's new Marine Mammal Center, remember?
Think life-size dolphin leaping from the water and
you'll have an idea of what the proposal is going to be.
How about something like that next to the
Bradenton Beach Fishing Pier?
See you next week.

Best fishing bet: grouper, snapper offshore


By Capt Mike Heistand
Just as the redfish fishing action starts to slack off,
snook season starts. Legal linesiders may be taken
beginning Feb. 1, although some fishers prefer to wait
a while to let the big ones start to come up to the hooks.
Fishing action this week remains strong on sheepshead,
with the striped "convict fish" staying thick around
piers, bridges and underwater structures. Offshore an-
gling is best when hunting grouper or snapper, with
excellent catches of mangrove snapper being reported
around the Skyway Bridge.
Dave at the Anna Maria City Pier said anglers
there have been catching redfish, flounder and sheep-
shead, with a few reports of snook being spotted near
the pilings.
Katie at Miss Cortez Fishing Fleet said the four-
hour trip is averaging 50 head of Key West grunts. The
six-hour trip is averaging 200 head of porgies, man-
grove snapper, Key West grunts, red and black grou-
per. The nine-hour trip is averaging 40 head of man-
grove snapper, rudder fish and red and black grouper
- which were very nice sized, she said. The Bay fish-
ing trip averaged 100 head of sand perch and sea bass.
Capt Zack on the Dee Jay II said he'd been bring
in some huge eight-pound sheepshead. Redfish are out
there, but they're scattered and in the 25-inch-long
range. He's finding hit-or-miss action on bluefish,
flounder, trout and pompano.
Capt Dave Pinkham said he's putting his char-
ters onto limit catches of gag and red grouper. Bob
Henry and his gang brought back a whopper mangrove
snapper, tipping the scales at more than seven pounds.
Capt. Phil Shields said snapper and grouper are
the best bets offshore now, with excellent catches of
some very nice grouper.
Capt. Rick Gross said there are a few reds out
there, but lots of sheepshead are making up most of his
charter catches. Capt. Rick said that despite snook sea-
son opening Feb. 1, he waits until March to start reel-
ing in the linesiders.
Capt. Mark Bradow reports lots of sheepshead
and a few trout and flounder. He's been able to do well
with pompano and whiting, too. .
On my boat Magic we've been having very good
success catching mangrove snapper near the Skyway
Bridge, with limit catches on every trip. Reds are lurk-
ing around the docks for the lucky anglers, and we've
been bringing in some six-pound sheepies.
Capt. Tom Chaya said he's been putting his cus-
tomers onto trout, reds and sheepshead.
Bill at Island Discount Tackle said he's heard re-
ports of wade fishers doing very good with redfish on the
flats near the Anna Maria Island Bridge. Pier fishers seem
to be doing good catching flounder and black drum, while
boaters are catching lots of mangrove snapper, trigger fish
and grouper farther offshore.
Good luck and good fishing.

Dan Harris cuts up a little at the docks after catching a 110-pound amberjack while fishing with the Reef
Reacher. Harris hooked up with the big fish about 30 miles offshore, and fought the whopper for about 45
minutes. Pictured below with the day's catch of amberjack and snapper are Mike Peed, Roy Salgado, Harris
