Judge orders forensic access to personal computers of some city council members. BY STEVEN J. SMTH STA WRTER Sarasota County Administrator Jim Ley conceded that due to increased budgetary restrictions mandated by recent property devaluation and Amendment 1 ramifications, as many as more county staff positions will be eliminated. Ley s comments came as part of a joint presentation Monday night with Jeff Seward, chief financial planning officer, before the South County Assembly of Neighborhoods at the Robert L. Anderson Administration Center. All in all, we ve cut about 210 positions from the county and in the last year laid off about 105 bodies, Ley told the crowd. would not be surprised if we face the need to eliminate another positions. Ley would not speculate as to how many actual employees would lose their jobs.

At stake was access to the personal computers of council members, part of a broader lawsuit over alleged violations of the state s open meetings Sunshine Law. The lawsuit was filed by Sarasota resident Anthony Lorenzo in late May against the city of Venice, Mayor Ed Martin and Sue Lang, and later revised to include John Moore and John Simmonds. Only one member admitted under oath to deleting public records.

That was all Judge Bennett needed to hear to order a forensics expert to try to retrieve the deleted s. A trio of city and council attorneys objected based on privacy intrusion, but didn t prevail. Bennett ordered the city T director to cooperate with a forensics expert during the retrieval Board: New airport consultant a bad idea BY GREG GLES NEWS EDTOR n light of recent ederal Aviation Administration communiques with Mayor Ed Martin and residents, city council agreed this week to step back a moment and seek the advice of its Airport Advisory Board before proceeding with an RQ (Request for Qualification) to hire a new airport consultant. Council members were emphatic that the airport board seriously consider the alternate layout plan offered by Venice resident Mike Rafferty. The advisory has been criticized by some in the past as unresponsive to recent concerns of airport critics. ronically, council gave the advisory board only 24-hours notice of their intent to gather feedback from the board, and Please see E-MAL, 4A offered an eight-page explanation of the alternate layout plan by Rafferty for them to study. After considerable debate Thursday, the advisory board voted 4-3 against pursuing a new airport consultant. Members Paul Hollowell, Susan Balsinger, John Yurosko and Kim Stephens voted against the RQ, with Jim Marble, Walter Hake Please see DEA, 5A BY JESSCA MLLER NTERN f you see a black cat cross your path, walk under a ladder, spill salt, break a mirror, or open an umbrella inside, then make sure you cross your fingers, knock on wood, pick up a penny on heads, avoid cracks in the sidewalk or find a four-leaf clover. Today is riday, June 13, 2008, otherwise known as riday the 13th, which some may argue is the most unlucky day of the year. Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the fear of this day. The sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have unpopular reputations that date back to ancient times. Movies have been made about the superstition, many tall buildings avoid a 13th floor and most couples would never think of planning a wedding on riday the 13th. Some sources say it may be the most widespread superstition in the United States. Venice High Student Jessica Parker shares the superstition. don t want to see a black cat on riday the 13th, Parker said. Parker s friend, Emily Rodgers, however, isn t bothered at all about the idea. feel like it is just any other day, Rodgers said. Legend has it if 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year, and if you change your bed sheets on a riday it will bring bad dreams. There are various excuses that date back to thousands of years ago as to why people associate the number 13 and riday with misfortune. or most individuals, the date, or any type of superstition, does not affect them at all. Venice Resident Howard Deveau lived in Salem, Mass., where he witnessed practicing witches. Witches did crazy things on riday the 13th but it never bought me, Deveau said. According to a poll conducted by the Associated Press, 13 percent of Americans are superstitious. Venice Resident Laura De Carlo is part of the 13 percent. Area students beat state on most CAT tests BY AUDREY BLACKWELL STA WRTER Venice area students, and the rest of the Sarasota County School District, have shown remarkable gains on the 2008 lorida Comprehensive Assessment Test, achieving higher results than most students across the state. The total CAT results, released Tuesday, show the district improving over 2007 at all grade levels in math and science and at all grade levels except grade four in reading. Natalie Roca, director of research and assessment for the district, said there are so many good results, it was hard to talk about just one area. The high school grade levels made significant improvements, she said. They all did, but there were outstanding improvements at the high school level. The grade 10 CAT graduation-requirement passing rate increased to 63 percent in reading from 59 percent and to 85 percent in math from 83 percent. District passing rates in reading are six points higher than state passing rates and in math they are four points higher than state passing rates. Roca said there have been improvements in science for all three grade levels tested: grades five, eight and 11. Now, we are about 21 points higher than the state averages in grades five and eight and nine points higher at grade 11, she said. According to a report released by the school district, state percentages also increased in the three grades for science, but the district improved at a greater rate at grades five and eight. The report also said the average scores for the district in reading are eight to 19 points higher than state averages in grade three through 10, which shows an improvement over 2007 at all grade levels except grade four. Grade four declined one point. Please see EAR, 4A District proficiency rates in reading are 10 to 11 percentage points higher than the state at the elementary level, eight to 12 points higher at middle school, and six to nine points higher at the high school level. n math, the district s proficiency rates are five to 10 percentage points higher than those for students statewide. The 2008 proficiency rates at all grade levels in math are at their highest for the years District and state average math scores improved at all grade levels from 2007 to 2008, but Sarasota County s averages are higher than statewide averages. Superintendent Lori White said she attributes the CAT results to the hard work done by the students, teachers, administrators and support staff, and that it is paying off.

GAS GAUGE SUN LE GRAPHC According to autos.msn.com on Thursday, the lowest gas price in the Venice area was at Clark s Service, 213 U.S. 41 Bypass, and Joy ood Store, 2273 Tamiami Trail. The highest price in the area, according to the Web site, was at several area stations. riend or foe? BY GERALD A. ROGOVN CORRESPONDENT Long before gasoline prices topped 4 a gallon, county planners and many residents were looking for ways to reduce driving costs and the threat to public health from air pollution. Growth control proponents have been warning of the adverse consequences of traffic congestion: delayed ambulance response times, increased auto accidents, the impact on tourism and commerce. The longer a motorist has to idle in traffic gridlock, the more it costs that resident/taxpayer for gas and good health, said Daniel J. Lobeck, a Sarasota attorney and president of Control Growth Now. Lobeck s organization has questioned Sarasota County s approach to traffic control, which is based on a formula called concurrency. Clarke B. Davis, general manager of public works planning for the county, describes concurrency as a state requirement for certain infrastructure to be in place at the same time as a development creating the need for it. Sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks, schools and transportation systems are the types of infrastructure subject to concurrency requirements, Davis said. Determination of improvements needed for road improvements is based on the number of vehicles a road can carry before a delay or travel time threshold is reached. Lobeck recently charged the Board of County Commissioners with ignoring many of the evils of traffic congestion to allow developers to increase traffic on congested roads. Concurrency hot spots at present include the Venice Bypass, State Road 776 in the Englewood area, River Road, Jacaranda Boulevard and Stickney Point Road at U.S. 41 in Sarasota. Trigger Most major, busy intersections will act as bottlenecks. Development along a road segment might trigger in-depth concurrency analysis, Davis said. The need for an additional turn lane at Mcntosh Road at U.S. 41 in Osprey was revealed in a concurrency analysis for the Wal- Mart Supercenter built two years ago. mprovements at the Venice Avenue/Jacaranda Boulevard intersection came about after similar analysis. Davis anticipates that needed improvements on River Road will come about after such a study. The lorida Statutes propose methods to determine concurrency. They include timing of road improvements, averaging delays and speeds over the whole traffic system versus individual road segments and how to mesh access for bikers and pedestrians alongside roadways. Davis noted that county staff are now studying those approaches to come up with what it would take to encourage mixed use redevelopment in urban areas. A campaign to educate the public about different applications of concurrency has been approved by the BOCC. Lobeck s response: We must tell them we reject it. f we don t, we ll find ourselves stuck in aggravating traffic too late to do anything about it. SARASOTA COUNTY BRE Voting system test date set Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent will conduct a mock election next month to test the functionality of the county s optical scan voting system that will be used in the fall elections and beyond. All Sarasota residents are encouraged to help test the upgraded system by voting at one of the three SOE offices in Sarasota, Venice, and North Port between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 8. The main objective is to give voters a chance to vote a ballot on the upgraded system before the two major fall elections and to ensure the system is accurate and reliable, Supervisor Dent said. We will test components of the system leading up to and including ballot tabulation, and including tabulation of absentee ballots, she added. Voters will be asked to sign in when they arrive at the polling place and will be given a mock election ballot to vote. Each voter will then feed the voted ballot through the optical scan tabulator at the polling place. An AutoMARK voter assist terminal will be available in all three polling locations to help voters with disabilities mark their ballots. The July 8 testing is in addition to the testing of all equipment that is conducted, as a matter of policy, prior to every election in Sarasota County Venice Car Wash and Detail Center Exterior Wash with Towel Dry O Any ull Service Wash 1 1 Compare Quality & Cost % Off any detail of or more 1 1 exp. 6/21/ Tamiami Trail Now Open Next to Venice Hospital on Business 41 Sunday 10 to 3 (941) Thereturnofthe great returns. ather s Day is June 15 UNSTOPPABLE.

3 RDAY, JUNE 13, 2008 SUN NEWSPAPERS 3A South County technical high school a possible budget casualty BY AUDREY BLACKWELL STA WRTER n the continuing saga of cutting the school district s preliminary budget, Sarasota County School Board members asked Superintendent Lori White on Tuesday to cut 50 million from a list of proposed capital expenditures for the school year. They agreed to recommend delaying the proposed South County technical high school on Manatee Community College s Venice campus. By postponing the project for a year, the district could save 36,000,000 from the budget. While such a cut would put the district in a favorable position for next year s capital outlay, it would put a heavier burden on the district the following year to reconstitute it, White said. Therefore, she recommended, other areas need to be cut to share the burden of costcutting. Board members highlighted several items on the list that should not be cut, including the HVAC renovation at Toledo Blade Elementary School, the SCT ire Academy and the North Port High School dining room expansion. Gary Leatherman, communications director for the school district, said it is especially important to expand the dining room at North Port High if the South County technical high school project is delayed since a couple hundred kids from the North Port area would have attended the technical high school. More cuts Other capital projects recommended for cutting and/or delay and the amounts saved include: nstructional remodel: maintenance of parking lots and a major renovation at Sarasota High School (1.5 million). acilities: move the repainting of Laurel Nokomis roof out a few years, which will not affect the performance of the roof (300,000) Districtwide: postpone floor replacements and generally slow down preventative maintenance approach to buildings (370,000) Safety and security: perimeter fencing will be reprioritized; the scope of work will be modified for cameras and controls (650,000) Vehicle replacement: about 23 vehicles will be kept one year longer and six buses will not be replaced in the 13-year replacement cycle (1.16 million) Technology projects: reduce the projects for students and teachers and delay an electronic time and attendance system (2.45 million) nstructional technology: reduce NeXt Generation Learning sound systems and delay other items (2.4 million) Long-range planning: cut small projects and land purchases (6.5 million) Career Technical Education: reduce upgrades for middle and high school CTE labs (1.25 million) Competing projects: Sarasota High renovation; Lakeview Elementary cafeteria/music/art; Mcntosh Agriculture building (3.545 million) Process Cuts to the preliminary capital budget will appear with reductions to the operating budget when the superintendent s tentative budget is presented to the board for approval at its July 22 meeting. A public hearing to adopt the tentative budget and millage rates will be held July 29 at 5:15 p.m. The public hearing to adopt the final millage rates and budget is slated for Sept. 16 at 5:15 p.m. ablackwell@ venicegondolier.com Just in time for ather s Day Saturday, June 14th OPEN at 12hourSale 9am Don t miss this OUR BGGEST SALE O THE SEASON!

Bennett will allow Simmonds attorneys to review the retrieved s, but he reserved the right to be the final arbiter if the forensics team and counsel disagree over whether an constitutes a public record. No shows Also subpoenaed but not in attendance at the hearing were Mayor Ed Martin and Council Member John Moore. Martin was on a business trip to Boston while Moore was on vacation. At first Judge Bennett included both council members in his order to make their personal computers available to forensic analysis. Then he gave them an out provide personal affidavits post haste on whether they deleted public record s. f Moore and Martin say they haven t, and if council for the plaintiff, attorney Andrea Mogensen, doesn t object, Bennett said he wouldn t subject their personal computers to the forensics search. Subpoenaed for the first emergency motion hearing that was canceled last week, then rescheduled to Wednesday, was City Manager Marty Black, who wasn t called to testify, and City Clerk Lori Stelzer, who didn t attend. An attorney representing the city, said he may have been the source of confusion. He told Judge Bennett he anticipated Stelzer would be in attendance. Moments later he stated it wasn t his understanding of the agreement between the parties that she was required at the rescheduled hearing. Stelzer was not listed on the docket to appear at Wednesday s hearing. Testimony Council Member Sue Lang testified she did not delete any public record e- mails on her city account or on her home computer. Time is of the essence.... Twelfth Circuit Court Judge Robert Bennett Rick Tacy and Vicki Noren testified they didn t delete any s, as well. Unlike the rest of council, both said they did not conduct any city business from their personal systems. Ernie Zavodnyik dodged the proverbial bullet.

He made them available to the city clerk in response to a public information request by Mogensen. While on the stand he invited counsel to review all 2,000 of his retrieved s if they desired. New understanding While the testimony didn t determine whether any Sunshine Law violations occurred that will take place later it did clarify council members understanding of what constitutes a public record. There had been some confusion aired in preceding weeks by Martin and Simmonds over who was required to maintain a public record. City rules state the originator of the is required to retain it as a public record and make it available for public view upon request. But state rules dictate that all government-related e- mails should be retained by the designated records custodian, which, in this case, some council members mistakenly presumed to be the city clerk. On Wednesday council members appeared to have a better understanding. One by one, under oath, each agreed a public record was simply any communiqué regarding city business, whether on a city or private server. t underscores the case that each council member understood the importance of retaining all cityrelated s, whether to or from a constituent, or to each other. t also raises the question of whether council members merely copied on an retained the record. During discovery counsel will be able to conduct a simple cross check to ascertain who sent and received each e- mail. f each recipient of the hasn t disclosed it as a public record already, that could bolster the plaintiff s argument that public records were or are being destroyed, and strengthen its case to access the personal computers of all city council members before more public record s are permanently destroyed. am somewhat sensitive to Ms. Mogensen s concern, Bennett said.

CUTS from Page 1A erty Taxes, attempted to explain the difficult budget decisions county officials now face, due to the recent announcement by the property appraiser s office that the value of Sarasota County property has dropped by 17 percent. Add to that the impacts of Amendment 1 which doubled the homestead exemption for homes valued at 75,000 or greater (a total of 50,000 removed from a home s taxable value), and portability of the annual 3 percent assessed taxable property value increase cap, known as Save Our Homes and county officials have found themselves between a fiscal rock and a hard place. We have a series of reductions in services that we ll put before the board (of county commissioners), Seward said. That includes everything from reduced hours in libraries and parks to reducing funding for neighborhood grants and human services. Also, several staff expansions that were planned have been postponed. The Ley-Seward presentation followed hard upon County Commissioner Nora Patterson s talk to the South West County Alliance of Homeowners Associations at the Green Street Church. Patterson started her discussion with a look at the county s fiscal year DEA from Page 1A and Jim Leis voting for it. The point that is most significant for me, said Hollowell, is this new RQ has in it a paragraph that clearly asks the consultant to do something the AA has told us they will not approve. cannot in good conscience now vote to approve this attempt to start a process to rewrite something that was properly done in the first instance, and particularly to rewrite it in a way that we know in advance will not be approved all paid for by airport funds. f this process is taken to fruition the only foreseeable result will be a waste of scarce airport resources. Just because something is objectionable to some people does not mean it is wrong, particularly in the absence of any proof to the contrary, Hollowell said. He encouraged city council to send the current master plan update and layout plans to the AA with a cover letter detailing those items objectionable to city council, along with suggested alternatives. That is the most expeditious, efficient and least costly way to come to terms with the issues and the problem, Hollowell said. t was the same advice offered by the AA last month in a face-to-face visit with Martin. ggiles@ venicegondolier.com 2007 budget of 1.1 billion. She discounted as fiction the numbers of double counts and unusable the numbers of restricted expenditures, capital and debt costs, water, sewer and stormwater costs, building activities, the sheriff s office and fire and emergency management services. That exercise, she said, was to arrive at the ultimate number with which she and her colleagues were left to operate county services. Guess what? Patterson asked. That leaves us with 243 million. And (due to Amendment 1 and property devaluations) when we have to cut about another 40 million from our budget, that s what it s going to come out of. Seward added to that number the expected loss of 4 million more, due to estimated reductions in sales tax revenue for fiscal year Why we feel strongly this will happen is because in the next two weeks we will be reducing our revenue for fiscal year 2008, which includes sales tax, impact fees, infrastructure surtax, Seward said. That s more than 25 million down from what we estimated we would collect this year. The next budget workshops will take place on June 17, 18 and 20. ssmith@sun-herald.com Selected styles.

7 RDAY, JUNE 13, 2008 LET EM HAVE T: SHOULD CTY COUNCL SUBMT THER PERSONAL COMPUTERS TO A ORENSCS EXPERT? CALL US AT A long walk to the back Long distance. As long as we re talking about restaurants, here s my pet peeve. A lot of the restaurants have handicapped parking right in front, and then when you get inside the hostess takes you to the furthest table and the furthest corner of the restaurant. So here s this handicapped person, with walker or cane, who parked in front at the handicapped spot and has to walk to the furthest table in the restaurant. don t think these young hostess have a brain sometimes. ungi. have to correct the caller who said air plants do not kill trees. Technically, the caller is correct, but the air plants create a wound in the bark and that draws fungus that kills trees. Air plants also draw insects and that creates waste and draws other insects that are harmful to trees. The visual evidence is everywhere. Just go into the woods and see the dead branches on oak trees that are covered with air plants or look at the trees along Venice streets that are dead and covered with air plants. The effect of air plants is to kill trees and they should be picked off. ight it. Jets, jets, jets and more jets. That s what Venice airport seems to want for us more jets, noise and pollution. s this what Venice residents want? Everyone from South Venice to Nokomis should fight airport expansion because extreme noise and air pollution from increased air traffic are on the horizon for all of us. Ruined beaches, polluted skies and devalued neighborhoods are on the horizon if Venice s airport expands. Why does this airport want to grow? t s right in the middle of the CW on one side, dense neighborhoods on another and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. What a stupid place to grow an airport. An expanded airport will pollute waters and destroy neighborhoods. Oh, but the jet owners don t care about that they live somewhere else in megamansions. They don t care that Venice residents have to suffer through increased air traffic. n giving grants to airports, the government should spend its money on airports more appropriate for expansion, like Sarasota or Port Charlotte. Venice airport must not grow, or everyone from South Venice to Nokomis will feel the negative effects. ight airport expansion now. EDTOR S NOTE: n all the debate over the airport there has never been any discussion of expanding it. Lame Dems. s anyone else tired of watching the petty bickering and hollow rhetoric of Clinton and Obama on TV? f these two are the best representatives of the Democratic Party, then as far as m concerned the party is as dead as their candidates. Don t share. The Sarasota County Commission chair, Shannon Staub, claims that revenue from the proposed red light cameras will be insignificant. think that speeding ticket revenue enhancement proves Staub wrong. urge the commission not to allow the vendor to have a cut of the revenue. Just like the Sharky s lease debacle, the county could lose a hefty sum. Also, a greedy vendor would probably forward photos of minor infractions such as crossing a 10th of a second late at 3 in the morning. trust that discretion to our local officials rather than to some profiteering vendor. would also like to comment on the interviewing of four red-light offenders. Besides the sample size being woefully inadequate, can t help but believe that the data obtained were strongly subject to both selection and response bias. t s like when a child is chastised and asked whether the offense will ever be repeated; clearly, the child is forced into a lie. Their money. This is in response to a phone call that you printed about the lights on Rockley Boulevard in the Plantation Golf & Country Club. t shows how uninformed we are. But want you to know, the Plantation Golf & Country Club membership paid for all the planning and installation of the lights for the golf cart crossing. t did not cost the county a penny. agree with the caller that there should be something done on Venice East and Route 41, but again, the county did not pay for those lights.

Jet lag. was driving 41 Bypass South passing Venice sles Mobile Home Park and noticed a large plane gaining altitude that must have just taken off from the airport. t dawned on me that this was a jet plane, not a small one but a pretty big one. We re used to seeing small prop planes flying, looking at them and not thinking much about them because the airport has been here since the 1940s, but this was different. t was a jet. This airport was not built for jets. There were no jets in the 1940s, only prop planes. What the heck is a jet doing at this small airport? God forbid there s an accident and this plane falls any place in Venice. have lived in Venice for 35 years and have never seen anything like this before. Wreck-less. Boy, those pilots are certainly afraid they ll lose their airport and the great deal they have. A caller said, Didn t know there was an airport there? bought my house more than 30 years ago in Venice. t was a little airport that we were told was for a few local pilots. Now they have the big jets. have to go inside because think there will been a wreck or something because it flies so low over our houses. This has been going on for quite a while now and it s scary, and they fly at all times, day and night. Jacked around. m calling about how lorida voters are getting jacked around again this election. feel that every voter in the state of lorida and in the state of Michigan who voted in their primary should bring a class-action suit against the Democratic and Republican parties for not giving us our vote. don t care if they want to give us a half a vote or not. My vote counts for a whole vote; if didn t want to vote, wouldn t have voted. My vote was worth 10,000 to me. t s probably worth 100,000, but let s be real 10,000 times 600,000 votes in lorida is 6 million. We ll see how fast this turns around. We re just getting jacked around by those trying to get who they want elected, just like in Self-pay. m responding to the person who called in about the traffic light on East Venice, and the insinuation that the SUN NEWSPAPERS 7A Plantation Golf & Country Club had preferential treatment from the county. The Plantation Golf & Country Club saw there was a safety hazard there. We went to the county and ended up paying to install the lights on Rockley Boulevard at a cost of 160,000 to our members. Miscellany. have a few items to discuss. The driver license office is moving out of Venice. They ve been here since 1991 at the same location. They re closing the office down and moving to Sarasota, so South County will not have a driver license office. Also, the Venice oundation is spending money that was given to the community by members of the community. The foundation paid for a going-away party for the former superintendent of schools, Mr. Gary Norris. Waste of money. Also, maybe one way to resolve the issue of the airport is to have an airport authority. t seems like the airport has taken more business and more time of the Venice City Council than it has in years. Maybe it s time to just have an authority to take over and have it just run the airport. Also, they re having a celebration for Miss Bertha Palmer. A lot of people don t realize that in her will, the area in Bay Point could not have any black people living there until the year f Mr. Vedder would check his abstract of his property, you would see that Miss Palmer wasn t all great in all areas. She wouldn t allow black people to live in that area. 22 NOTCE O ORECLOSURE 18 HUMMNGBRD DR PLACDA, L Lot 3, Block 139, ROTONDA MEADOWS, a subdivision according to the plat thereof, recorded in Plat Book 10, Pages 15A through 15-Z-18, of the Public Records of Charlotte 19 STARLNG DR PLACDA, L Lot 10, Block 139, ROTONDA MEADOWS, a subdivision according to the plat thereof, recorded in Plat Book 10, Pages 15A through 15-Z-18, of the Public Records of Charlotte 19 STARLNG DR PLACDA, L The property aforesaid, together with all improvements, buildings, fixtures, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereto, belonging, or in any- PUBLC HEARNG 22 NOTCE O ORECLOSURE wise appertaining, is being sold to satisfy ifth Third s claims under said Judgment.

8 PUBLSHER ROBERT A. VEDDER PHONE: (941) AX: (941) A RDAY JUNE 13, 2008 OPNON GONDOLER SUN EDTOR BOB MUDGE SUN EDTOR BROOKY BROWN D on t be surprised if little good comes of Sarasota County s move to install red-light cameras unless you re a camera manufacturer, a system operator or the county budget director. t s unlikely the action will improve safety at intersections, ostensibly the reason behind the move. Studies show improvements are negligible, at best. n fact, there s evidence that installing cameras that photograph motorists running red lights actually increases the frequency of rear-end accidents. One thing is certain. t will generate plenty of income through 125 fines, with most of it going to camera-system operators, who will get 60 percent of the income. s that in the public interest? Sarasota County commissioners recently voted to jump on the red-light camera bandwagon and look for a company to install and operate cameras on some county roads. Under state law, police officers can only write tickets when they observe someone breaking traffic laws. But county officials believe they can enact an ordinance that would allow them to photograph the license plates of cars passing through intersections after the light has turned red. The motorist would be identified through the photo and sent a fine of 125. Because this is a civil infraction, no points would be added to a license. To back up their contention that this would serve the public good, commissioners pointed to the nearly 900 violators photographed during a threemonth study at two county intersections. However, there was no accompanying evidence of the number of crashes at the intersections. So what s the point? t s all about the public demand for OUR VEW Click, ka-ching another red-light photo this, and safety, Commissioner Chair Shannon Staub told the Sun. f there are extra funds that come in, they won t be huge. Which sounds reasonable. The problem is there is scant evidence to back the safety claim. A March 2008 study by the University of South lorida College of Public Health found: atalities caused by red-light running are not increasing in the state. They account for less than 4 percent of annual traffic deaths. The rate of injuries from such crashes dropped by one-third in recent years, indicating red-light running crashes have been continually declining in lorida without the use of cameras. Studies from North Carolina and Virginia indicate an increase in crashes associated with cameras. The North Carolina study showed accident rates increased 40 percent; in Virginia, the increase was 29 percent. This is backed up by a Washington Post analysis of six years of statistics that showed cameras did little to slow the crash rate. While more-violent T-bone crashes often drop, rear-end crashes invariably rise. The rigorous studies clearly show red-light cameras don t work, said US study author Barbara Langland-Orban. nstead, they increase crashes and injuries as drivers attempt to abruptly stop at camera intersections. The US study said running red lights can be slowed by engineering improvements that address factors such as signal visibility and timings, wet roads and traffic flow. Red-light cameras end up simply being cash machines. They re good for camera operators and governments, but don t make the roads safer. About dogs and cats MARY KAY RUPPEL COLUMNST m writing this for my mommy, Mary Kay. My name is Maney, and know you doubt this is possible, but we dogs who are thrown into what is known as civilized society understand a lot more than you know. Experts say we can develop a vocabulary of up to 40 words, although we cannot actually speak. Believe it or not, this is the scoop. Last Saturday my mommy was taking me for our early morning jaunt when suddenly she knelt down on the pavement. thought maybe she had spotted a lizard before did, but then she threw her face smack down on the pavement so hard that she dropped my leash. licked her head as she lay there and finally she looked at me. Dogs like the smell of blood, but didn t like this one bit. She got up and said we had to go right home as she had hurt herself. didn t argue one little bit, although hadn t actually completed by doggy business as she calls it. Ah well! Mommy got on the phone and called a friend and heard her say that she had tripped on some raised pavement and fallen down. He got here pretty fast and they went out the door, to where did not know because this activity was definitely not part of our normal agenda. Plus, no breakfast! Hmmm! When they got home a long time later heard mommy talking about having had a cat scan. To think that had been subjected to an interrupted walk and no feed bag for a cat. n my opinion, a cat is an antisocial fur ball with delusions of superiority. After that insult, thought might have to reconsider my position in this household and was definitely not looking forward to the possible arrival of a cat on the premises. Other things changed too. Mommy has a baseball on her forehead and has started wearing very weird eye make up deep purple on both eyes. Her nose had changed and she looked sort of like a Sha- Pei saw once. But she smelled the same and talked the same and resumed feeding me. However, her friend came to walk me each day and brought in groceries. Mommy was not acting normal and went around holding ice cubes on her head and crying when she looked in that glass thing on the bathroom wall. The other day her friend took her out again. was hoping she wasn t going to scan cats again, but she didn t mention that when she got home and talked on the phone to her son in Philadelphia. She told him that the doctor just kept shaking his head and saying it was one of the worst head injuries he d ever seen. That adds to my vocabulary as now know that when you smell blood it s an injury. The doctor said the good news was that the brain scan didn t show anything, yak, yak! Things seem to be returning to normal around here. Mommy has changed her eye makeup to a lighter color and it s prettier on her. Her forehead has a golf ball on it. Her nose is starting to look more like mine again, but not leather. She s talking again about the damdumbacrat party. love parties because people drop lots of food and m anxious to see Oh Mama. She also mentions gas a lot and that if it gets any higher, we ll all be walking. That s good! She s singing again. That s bad! forgive her for the cat scan.

THE SVNSH NE LAW ORECAST OR VENXCE S axxjb Y Wrr H A CHANCE O SCATTERE D ODMPETE NCE AND HEAVY COVE "... LETTERS ROM OUR READERS Hands in the cookie jar Editor: Much has been written in recent weeks about most of Venice City Council, and their alleged questionable activities. One may want to keep in mind that all politicians local, state and national just can t help it. irst, they believe that the minute they say do in the swearing in ceremonies that they are immediately smarter than the general population. Secondly, when it comes to rules and regulations, they believe that openly or in secret, they do not have to comply. Thirdly, they believe that their most immediate purpose and goal is to be reelected. n some countries, when elected officials are caught with their hands in the cookie jar, or on the send key, not only do they confess, apologize and accept full responsibility, they do the honorable thing and resign. But, of course, they don t live in a democracy. Enough is enough! Editor: cannot be the only citizen of the city of Venice who is sick and tired of the constant complaints about the airport. or years, the long-term residents have been quite content with their airport. n fact, we are proud of it. Along come the new residents, and because they bought or built a house at the end of one of the runways, they have decided to change everything for their own benefit. Enough! The airport isn t going anywhere, so leave it alone. The whining about the private jets is another problem. My husband flew out of the airport for 11 years from 1981 to can assure you that jets, large and small, were coming and going during that Ward L. Barritt Venice time. Commercial jets have grown in size. Private jets have not. They are the same ones that have used the airport for many years. As former Mayor Dean Calamaras asked of a resident of Bellagio when they were complaining about the planes flying overhead, Didn t you see the airport when you looked at Bellagio? t s not rocket science. When my husband and moved to Venice in 1981, we decided to build a house, so we went to city hall and asked to see the plans for future development within the city limits. Based on what we saw, we decided to build in Pinebrook and lived there for 24 years, very happily. You bought the house. No one put a gun to your head and said you will live 0 here, like it or not. Either move or live with your decision. You could always move to North Port, no airport there! am sure the AA has had enough as well. All you have managed to do is make them so tired of your complaining they aren t going to listen to any real problems that may arise in the future. Now please, get on with other city business that needs to be addressed. t s time to quit the complaining and be glad to be living in this small corner of paradise airport and all. Marion Ogle Venice Let s not make more veterans Editor: read the article in the Gondolier Sun dated June 1, hadn t had my coffee yet, so when my eyes fixated on, 1,800 American military veterans die each day, my heart raced and thought for a moment, what in God s name was going on in the Middle East now? Then the caffeine kicked in and the article became clearer. t was addressing all the military conflicts our men and women have been involved with. Some were actual wars and others, like Vietnam, were deemed police conflicts. believe that was the spin they put on that mess back in ,4&?'W the 60s and 70s. The article mentioned the 295 acres for the cemetery, and then thought about how long it would be before this hallowed ground would become crowded with the brave men and women who gave their lives for our great country. Wouldn t it be wonderful if we could educate people, put them in public office and have them remember history, then negotiate with leaders of other countries through peaceful methods or the use of economic sanctions approved by the United Nations, to achieve a resolution that all parties would abide by? We are in the 21st century and yet it seems we still have not achieved a level of understanding or civility for people, culture and ideas. We need to do this for our military and for all people wherever they may call home. n November, when you go to cast your vote, remember: 1,800 American military veterans die each day. red raize Venice Dems will want more money Editor: Since Obama and Clinton have never had real jobs and been involved in Please see LETTERS, 9A

Dennis Halpin Englewood People will try to take our oil Editor: To all those who feel that, we as Americans should avoid drilling in the Alaska wilderness and in the Gulf of Mexico along the shores of lorida and both the Atlantic and Pacific coast lines and wherever else there are major oil deposits, we may be creating an unwanted situation for our kids, grandkids or future generations of Americans. Today, many countries depend on Middle East, South American and African oil. Countries are just beginning to develop technology that need and require the use of fossil fuels. This is why we are seeing bigger demand for oil. Word was that most oil reserves would run out in 40 years or so. Where are these countries going to go for their energy needs? You guessed it, right here in the Gulf, Alaska, lorida coastline. Do you think these countries are going to stand back and let their own nations go without their energy needs? Do you think that this country is not vulnerable to attack if we have the only energy resources left on the planet? Better wake up right now, people, and allow our reserves to be used just as all others are being used. They all can run out at the same time, if and when they run out. With the technology that we have today we should be able to protect all of the environmental concerns.

Venice Ave., Venice, la You can also fax signed letters to or them to bmudge@venice gondolier.com. or more information, call inancial foxes on guard duty Editor: inancial writers act like sports journalists they write about winners and losers, but not the game s structure. We prefer winners but could lose the game s losers much quicker, if we can identify fraud in the game. The law defines fraud as intent to deceive. Did the poorest, downtrodden subprimers deceive the superrich loan givers, or is the credit-ability deception guilty? The deceiver s game may be the unwillingness to disclose that loans and mortgages were repayable lines of credit they originated under various names like capital, liquidity, securitized debt swaps, bank checks, etc., all cash money derivatives, permissible under private ractual Reserve Banking. When participants lose oversight of what is fractured or real, they see a revolving-risk crisis because Joe Subprime never had the repayment cash to feed the credit revolver. But mortgagors actually loaned nonexistant money, and the timing of repayment creates their credit crunch crisis. Shall we add more credit-debt to the revolving chain, hoping time will pay? The slowing economy is now the culprit. The painful, unavoidable remedy is to bring the deceiving fraudster in line with reality so we can all trust the bank again. However, deception depends on your sophistication. The law can only prosecute a crime it can clearly define. So, it is up to our chicken-government regulators to identify the fox that will regulate the hen house for ongoing interest in chicken consumption. Egan Tancre Venice SUN NEWSPAPERS 9A Put a cap on hangars and tie-downs HERB LEVNE GUEST COLUMNST An interesting airport commentary written by a pilot appeared in the Gondolier Sun. The article itself was very intriguing in what it said and even more intriguing in what it only hinted. The author of that article was concerned about some people who want to move our airport some place else and that the final result at the ex-airport would be endto-end high-rise condos. There are talks going around about putting in an eco-friendly hotel, etc. Sounds good, but will development interests stop with one small, green hotel? think not and the next step would be lots and lots of condos. personally would prefer seeing that door locked tight. Actually the writer of that commentary was correct but a few years late. There was a council member back then who often seemed to undertake methods of bringing in developers to talk to other council people about moving our airport. The excuse given for failing to do this back then was that it was too expensive to move the airport. Non- sense. The profits would have been enormous. The real reason for the failure was that airport development plans hatched in the middle of the night fell apart when rays of sunshine were focused on them. Not too many pilots seemed to be fighting those airport development plans then. One has to wonder if promises of lower hangar rents at the new airport were made to them. Going back to that airport commentary, the author pretty well spells out that there are only two choices concerning the airport. Choice No. 1 would be to let it or rather, help it develop normally (or maybe slightly more than normally) into a vibrant little bigger, little bigger and little bigger airport. Choice No. 2 would mean that the airport would be moved and replaced by high-rise condos. However, there is a third choice for our airport: Cap airport growth by putting a strict cap on hangar and tie-down rental spaces. This would not mean a limitation on airport activities, including takeoffs and landings, only on the planes permanently stationed there. Stop trying to make the airport bigger, bigger and r 7 RED MULCH bigger by enticing another hotel and a Disneyland to build on airport property. And even though the airport enterprise fund is presently solvent, airport growth proponents seem to be worried about a future money crunch. No problem. Check out the rental prices for planes and buildings at other local, small airports in surrounding areas of lorida and increase our prices to those prices when the present local leases run out. There are now 49 separate applications for hanger spaces when new T- hangars are built. Three of the 49 applicants live in the city. The rest are all around the county. wonder why someone wouldn t rather stay at a small airport closer to home? wonder if it s the price? also wonder how many of the Grow, Airport, Grow Gang lives in Venice near the airport or in any other part of Venice. Maybe we can record some very loud takeoffs and landings to play all around the county in the early or late hours of each day. Pilots might even like that, but wonder how their neighbors would feel?

Owners of the downtown bookstore donated card racks, worktables and display apparel. When the Loveland Center Volunteers closed the Green Butterfly, they donated counters, fittings and merchandise. Henry said the thrift store has been able to improve its displays, categorize displayed items and improve customer shopping. The success of the organization comes from the donors, and volunteers working four-hour shifts weekly; Henry welcomes more support. The store is open weekdays from 9 a.m., and Saturdays. Call Rebate incentives research More than a third of the federal stimulus money has been distributed, and according to nternational Council of Shopping Centers Opinion Research Corp., 51 percent of consumers mostly intend to pay down debt. The number was even higher among consumers who had not received their rebates (55 percent) and in households with incomes of 50,000 or less (61.5 percent). Retailers offering consumers incentives to spend the money on grocery items would be most likely to benefit (52 percent), while the second-most attractive category (42 percent) was retailer incentives tied to energy-efficiency products for the home. sland Squeeze open Last weekend sland Squeeze opened at 4197 Tamiami Trail in the Venice Village Shoppes.

Season was mixed for downtown merchants BY ROGER BUTTON least for local and American BUSNEWS COLUMNST tourists said Davis. Plans are to cut back in June, closing two days a week. riday evening opening was a total failure, he said, because there was insufficient publicity. t was a mistake to cancel Thursday evening monthly strolls. Local people still need to support downtown merchants, said Davis. With high gas prices, you would expect them to shop in Venice and not Sarasota. The recent downtown sidewalk sale was a total bust, probably because of the slowing economy, but he stated they are hanging in until business picks up. The downtown shopping season took until the start of this year to get energized. Retailers surveyed recently reported sales have subsided dramatically since the snowbirds departed, the economy softened and gas price hikes began. The new riday late shopping may have floundered while traditional monthly Thursday strolls are missed. Sharing sandwich Told to expect a line of customers in October when he opened Cafe Mangiafico, 229 W. Miami Ave., owner Enrico Mangiafico said it didn t happen until almost to the end of January. Many people who came in ebruary and March were just looking, often sharing a sandwich with water instead of a soda. The soft economy has affected my sales, said Magiafico, who is reducing his hours for summer, closing at 8 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., and on Sundays. He is confident people from the north will return in October, because they had a good experience and liked his special talian gelato ice cream. During the summer he will keep his business up by continuing his catering services. riday late night opening was better than Thursdays with more people about, but he would like to see stores not close at 6 p.m. More lookers than buyers The season certainly started a little later, with more lookers than buyers at Abbacino Galleria, 243 W. Venice Ave. We found the purchase point higher with higher-end sales picking up, but saw a fall-off in lower value items, said Harvey Davis, co-owner with wife Chris. He hopes more Europeans coming to spend their stronger currencies will mean a busier summer. The economy is a problem, at -:1 No free lunch but ah yes, perhaps there is in the Venice area. The appeal of a community is often measured, real estate-wise, by the level of service provided to its citizens. When you invest in a home, you also invest in the entire community and the lifestyle it offers. Grandchildren, guests, visitors and pets Overseas clientele will help Thrilled with high sales numbers following an increase in and expansion of his inventory since moving from Miami Avenue to Venice Avenue is Jeff O Berry, owner of Nifty Nic Nacs, 203 W. Venice Ave. The 50-percent sales increase during season is currently dwindling with the softening economy and increasing gas prices, but O Berry believes his overseas clientele will keep him afloat. have been the only store open every evening, except Sundays, and it has brought a constant parade of people coming in who ask why the other shops are not open, said O Berry. He has started a petition for visitors who want to spend their dollars in Venice in the evenings after spending the day at the beach. riday evening shopping has not been successful because half the stores closed within a few weeks of the campaign starting. O Berry believes with Thursday strolls retailers could count on a good cash input. Customer discount programs and more inventory are encouraging him to add part-time staff for the 2009 season. ridays didn t ring register t has been a good season, said are afforded hospitality of a standard not often seen in other locations.

Venice Ave. t began pretty much like last year in October, but January through March were gangbusters. Easter took a hit and it has slowed down as the softening economy hurts. Now that the snowbirds have gone, local people can get in, and it is obvious there is more concern due to the rapid increasing gas prices affecting everything. am already seeing price increase notices from the manufacturers, said Crisman. More Europeans visited and purchased in January because prices to them were a bargain, and they talked property purchase, too. Although the riday evening late opening started well, overall, Crisman said, the Thursday strolls were better. Keeping expenses to a minimum, she operated the store on riday evenings, but it did not ring her register. She would like to see MainStreet promotions on Thursdays. Turning to heritage all sales were normal, January was good, ebruary was slower and March and April were good, said Kate Hill-Moore, owner of sland Photographics, 101 W. Venice Ave., Suite 6. amily portraits and weddings go as normal, and during an economic bump people turn to preserving their heritage with family history copying and restoration. Always looking for new lines to keep up with current trends and increase creativity, she continues attending seminars and conventions as she has done successfully for 20 years. Overall the consensus is it was a good 2008 season, but economic woes and escalating gas prices are seriously affecting sales. Decisions on riday evening shopping will be awaited with interest, including the prospect of the return of the Thursday strolls.

That may have had something to do with the Venice Lions performance in game one of the Sarasota County Cup Wednesday at Twin Lakes Park. They lost 3-0 in a lightening-shortened, fourand-a-half inning game with the Sarasota Marlins. We played too tense, Lions manager Ed Dinka said. Everybody had pressure on them, it seemed like nobody was really loose. ortunately for the Venice camp, those nerves can work both ways. One and a half innings of play in game two Thursday night ended with a rain delay and the Lions leading 6-0. The game will pick up where it left off Saturday at 10 a.m. at the same location. n game two, it was the Marlins who struggled. Pitcher Matt Tarallo plunked leadoff man Dalton Tritschler on his first time up. That started a chain reaction that led to two Lions runs on RBs by Beau Billings and Tyler McKenzie. But they didn t stop there. The Lions added four runs in the top of the second. Dan Dinka led off with a single to left and advanced to third on a second baseman s error on the cutoff. Tritschler walked, then Dinka scored on a wild pitch. After another Marlins miscue scored Tritshler, McKenzie doubled to put runners on second and third. Jim Heise put Venice up 6-0 with a two-run single. He was caught trying for second to end the inning. We re very excited about (the start), coach Dinka said after the game was called in the middle of the second inning. The boys came through with no pressure on them at all... Tonight, everybody came out relaxed. The Lions came close to putting the Marlins away in game one. Tied 0-0 in the fourth inning of Wednesday s game, Venice had the bases loaded with no outs after singles by Beau Billings and McKenzie and an intentional walk of Heise. The Lions failed to score and left the bases loaded after two strikeouts and a force at the plate. Venice began the fifth with a single by Dave Holcomb, bringing up the top of the order to try and start a rally. But a ground-rule double by Rhett Dinka with one out only advanced Holcomb to third. With one out and two runners in scoring position, the Lions still couldn t capitalize. n all, Venice left six runners on base four of them in scoring position. didn t like that at all, Dinka said. They were pretty down. (The Marlins) got all the momentum on that. Sarasota strung together three hits, including a one-run double by David Driggs and a two-run single by Alyssa Jackson, in the bottom of the fourth to take a 3-0 lead. Kenny Corrigan was the winning pitcher Wednesday night for the Marlins. The Lions Beau Billings was charged with the loss.

Does Joe Gibbs Racing offer frequent-flier miles? Busch is the only driver who ever did something like that in NASCAR s three major touring series. He s probably the only driver who ever wanted to. Here s the real surprise, given his season. He didn t win any of them. Counting the Sprint All-Star Race, Kasey Kahne has won three times in a span of four weeks. And it all began with a fan vote that put him in the allstar field. Jack Roush is busy lining up his drivers. Carl Edwards has already signed a new extension, Greg Biffle is on the verge, and talks are under way with Jamie McMurray. The good news is that Petty Enterprises is apparently about to gain an influx of money from a private equity firm, Boston Ventures, buying a majority share. The bad news is that private equity firms are in business to turn considerable profits. A key consideration in that deal, by the way, is securing the long-term services of driver Bobby Labonte. Juan Montoya, who expressed some discontent after being assigned his third crew chief of the season, seems to have settled down a bit and warmed to working with No. 3, Brian Pattie. Ryan Newman said he isn t inclined to sign a new contract with Roger Penske unless reliable sponsorship is assured. Thanks to a developing merger, Alltel is unlikely to be around for long. Who s on the hot seat? Casey Mears, Reed Sorenson and J.J. Yeley, who failed to make the field at Pocono. They could use a few good races soon. THE PONTS RACE SPRNT CUP 1.

Opening Jitters McDowell didn t exactly sneak inconspicuously into Sprint Cup By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Those who don t make mistakes don t get a chance to learn from them. Michael McDowell faced the unusual prospect of joining the Raybestos Rookie of the Year race after the season started. McDowell, 23, joined Michael Waltrip Racing s three-car Toyota team when veteran Dale Jarrett completed a limited schedule en route to a career in television. Right off the bat, McDowell found himself close to the center of attention. n his first race, on March 30 at Martinsville, he was criticized for holding up the leaders. A week later, he walked away from a brutal qualifying crash at Texas Motor Speedway. Since then, McDowell, a native of Glendale, Ariz., has become a bit more comfortable racing in the Sprint Cup Series. He said he learned his lessons. That s a hard way to learn, he admitted. Martinsville was one of those racing deals that got blown out of proportion. Once we had an opportunity to go back and talk about it, it turned out to be not such a big deal. This is a tough series with a lot of great drivers and definitely got thrown into the deep end trying to jump from ARCA to Cup. We knew how difficult that was going to be. This is a year for me to really learn and do it at the Cup level, and do it in the new car. Starting in 09, we ll have something to build on. McDowell s 27th-place finish in the Pocono 500 was the highest of any rookie. t s a tough business, and if you lay down, they ll eat you up and spit you out, said McDowell. t will be that quick. went into Martinsville knowing needed to run all the laps, but it s a short track. had to drive as hard as could all day long. That s what did. just had my mind set on just getting everything could out of it all day long. Though in the short run, McDowell s tactics caused some controversy, it may have benefited him in the long run. When we went back, and everybody had an opportunity to look at it and saw that we were just one lap down and in position for the lucky dog, it helped me gain a little bit more respect from those guys, he concluded.

14 14A SUN NEWSPAPERS RDAY, JUNE 13, 2008 Sink or swim: The future of seafood New technology may bring aquaculture to new territory BY JON. SCA DESOTO NEWS EDTOR Seafood could start moving from coasts to cow pastures, and it won t be crawling on any vestigial limbs; scientists have found ways to grow the ocean s bounty on dry land. Now they have to make it turn a profit. Cutting-edge research at Mote Marine Laboratory s Center for Aquaculture Research is making tank-based, inland fish farming cheaper, cleaner and sustainable. Mote scientists are crafting closed-circuit waterrecycling systems that produce negligible environmental impacts, and could be used some day in rural locations across the state as part of a fully integrated aquaculture industry, with feed producers, hatcheries, grow-out facilities and processors. However the specter of global trade and real estate woes are casting a pall over lorida s aquaculture industry, and making fish farming in the Sunshine State a risky business. The lorida Department of Agriculture Division of Aquaculture reports it is increasingly difficult for fish farms to compete against foreign rivals, which are not all financially encumbered by strict labor laws and environmental safeguards. We are getting killed right now by global trade; we are seeing the industry shrink it s pure economics, said Paul Zajicek, one of the division s biological administrators. When we had that real-estate bubble, a lot of farms sold, their property got astronomically valuable. Yet Mote scientists believe the technologies they are developing now could be a boon to fish farms in America, where reports say the appetite for seafood is all but insatiable. All you can eat U.S. Department of Commerce reports say Americans are consuming more seafood than ever before. A total of million U.S. residents consumed 16.5 pounds of seafood per person in 2005, compared to 1980, when million Americans were consuming 12.5 pounds per person. Meeting rising seafood demand is new to the United States, but global aquaculture is doing all it can to fill the gap. The United Nations reported in 2006 that nearly half the seafood consumed worldwide came from fish farms. f current trends hold true, worldwide aquaculture production must double to 80 million metric tons annually by 2050 to meet global demands. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association s aquaculture reports also say seafood prices may rise as demand in foreign countries increase and less is exported. NOAA says the United States imports significant volumes of seafood from countries like China, ndia, Vietnam, Thailand, ndonesia, Norway, Bangladesh, Japan, and Chile, creating an annual seafood trade deficit of more than 9 billion. Safety first Environmental concerns such as nutrient-rich water outflow, wasteful water-use practices, and the introduction of non-native species are central to aquaculture regulation. Regulations are much more relaxed in other countries. We are more environmentally conscious about the impacts of aquaculture, said Dr. Kevan Main, director of Mote s Aquaculture Research Center. We are not willing to accept those kinds of consequences. Traditional aquaculture operations pump large volumes of water through the trenches and ponds where the fish are grown to balance nutrient, effluent and ammonia buildups, which are a byproduct of fish farming. A 2006 survey by the department found that lorida has the most stringent aquaculture regulation in the country, Zajicek said. Each of lorida s more than 1,100 small fish farms are subjected to surprise inspections at least twice a year by the department s expert inspectors, who each have a master s degree. The National Offshore Marine Aquaculture Act may also one day set standards for marine aquaculture products grown offshore in federal waters and sold from lorida s ports, but that legislation is mired in Congress. Marine aquaculture operations, which use the open-ocean holding pens to grow fish, also have to worry about biofouling, red tide and hurricanes. f you are going to decide to do (aquaculture), you better have a cast-iron constitution, Zajicek said, because the deck is stacked against U.S. fish farmers at almost every turn. Luckily for the aquaculture industry, Mote Marine s operation isn t wrapped up in profit projections; it is riding on the spiny, prehistoric back of the Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii. Just add water After recovering from a devastating fire in 2006 that gutted part of the facility, the Mote SUN PHOTO BY JON. SCA Sturgeon Operation Manager Jim Michaels displays a 1-year-old sturgeon in the nursery at the Mote Marine Aquaculture Research Center in east Sarasota County, near Myakka. Sturgeon fell off the evolution tree about 200 million years ago, Michaels said, and have remained unchanged since then. Sturgeon are cartilaginous, with no bones, but they are not related to sharks. Aquaculture Park in east Sarasota County near Myakka now boasts about 78 tons of sturgeon swimming in its tanks or still on the fin. Sturgeon produce caviar, one of the most highly prized delicacies in the world. Driving up the center of the park, it looks more like a stateof-the-art plantation, with mowed grounds, verdant ponds, oak hammocks and cupolas adorning its headquarters. Mote began experimenting with different sturgeon species in 1998; caviar and meat are now harvested now on a regular basis. The meat goes to local markets and restaurants, and the caviar is under contract with the noble Parisian Petrossian brand. A parallel financial study of the operation is in process, but the goal of Mote s research is not to make money. One of its key goals is to develop low-cost water-recycling technology. n many cases, the materials used to build Mote s fish farm are similar to what most farmers use today in irrigation and spraying systems: PVC pipes and valves, servo-controlled faucets and electric pumps and motors. What we are trying to develop is elegantly simple engineering; where there is a lot of elegance in the actual engineering, the operation of it will be more simplified, Michaels said. So you don t need to be a rocket scientist to run a fish farm, that s the ultimate goal. Bacteria condos n addition to the nutrients from food sources, fish produce severe metabolites. The fish produce ammonia through urine; that has to be dealt with, said Jim Michaels, head of Mote s sturgeon operation. The fish also produce feces, which is collected by tubular solids filters during a relatively easy process. Separating fish urine from water is a bit more complicated. We have bacteria, and this bacteria that will convert that (urine) to an intermediate product called nitrite, which is also toxic to fish, Michaels said. Then there is another bacteria that eats nitrite for a living and converts it to nitrate, which is much less toxic to fish. During this process, the good bacteria lives on thousands of what Michaels calls bacteria condos, which look like tiny pasta-shaped plastic bits. These thousands of plastic bits churn in a open-to-the-air tub with the contaminated water until it s clean. But you still get to a point where you build up this nitrate, and at some point that becomes detrimental to the fish, Michaels said. To solve that problem, Mote has adapted a technology commonly used in wastewater treatment facilities. This process uses another form of bacteria that converts the nitrates in the water to nitrogen gas, which is harmlessly released from the water into the atmosphere. Our goal now is to hold the water in our systems for 20 days, so we have a 5-percent per day discharge, Michaels said, adding that the current discharge rate is somewhere between 10 and 20 percent. The water and sediment released now, Michaels said, is filtered naturally through a series of ponds and the nutrients are absorbed by wetland plants, which are then used for wetlands mitigation across the state. Using gravity and variable frequency drives, Michaels said, they are completing this process with minimum energy. t terms of pumping, we re moving 2,200 gallons a minute in four tanks with less than 5 horsepower (speed), Michaels said. High-tech takes time Main said it could be five to 10 years before this water recycling technology becomes prevalent and ready for use in inland areas. The whole industry cannot convert to this technology today, Main said. We have to develop the technology and perfect it, and as we do that we drive its cost down. So far Mote has invested approximately 25 million in the center during the last seven years. Main said the center s physical infrastructure is worth 10 million the same amount of capital she recommends prospective sturgeon farmers start out with. The technology is expensive; sturgeon is the only fish it makes economic sense to grow right now, Michaels said. One of our goals is to drive the cost of this technology down, so it can be applied to more species, and so that the cattle farmer who may want to try something and doesn t necessarily want to try sturgeon may have an opportunity to try growing another type of fish in an inland facility, away from all the geopolitical issues on the coast. jsica@sun-herald.com GT CARD AVALABLE See store for details now 99 O Lo WE S Let's Build Something Together," was 149 HTACH 18-Volt Driver Drill/ lashlight # SPECAL VALU E! 10 O N STOCK % RDNG MOWERS Offer valid 6/12/08-6/15/08.

15 RDAY, JUNE 13, 2008 SUN NEWSPAPERS 15A Charter schools to get 2M capital improvement boost SUN PHOTO BY AUDREY BLACKWELL Deb Metheny, second from left, supervisor of charter schools for Sarasota County School District, asks the school board to consider sharing 2 million in capital funds with charter schools at a workshop Tuesday. BY AUDREY BLACKWELL STA WRTER At first blush, it may appear questionable that the Sarasota County School Board would give away 2 million in capital improvement funds to charter schools. After all, the district is hurting for money and now has to cut 26 million from its own capital budget next year, and it will probably cut twice that amount to prepare for further state budget cuts in the future. Yet giving the approximately 2 million a year for five years is exactly what the board recommended be done at a budget workshop Tuesday. Actually, the board recommended giving 30 percent of its allotment from the state for capital funds based on 1.75 mills of property tax assessments as a percentage of district enrollment to the charter schools. This works out to be 1,992,838 for the school year. And that is not all bad. The district stands to gain by giving in two ways. One, sharing local capital improvement funds will help establish equity between traditional and charter schools. As Caroline Zucker, school board vice chair, said, like to think of the students attending charter schools as our students and want to give them money to help enable them to keep up.... They live in this community; they are our students. The other benefit to the school district is financial. With capital support, charter schools can enter into agreements with lending institutions rather than management companies, said Deborrah Metheny, supervisor of charter schools, reading from a prepared statement. n addition, Metheny continued, rather than entering into long-term leases, the charter schools could have the ability to ultimately purchase their facilities. n the event that a charter school is closed during its tenure, the facility then reverts back to the district and can be used in various ways. The stewardship of the use of public dollars is then welldocumented. As a result of the discussion, the capital budget will be amended to accommodate charter schools and staff will look at what items it can eliminate to pay for it. ablackwell@ venicegondolier.com School boards denied exclusivity over charter schools BY AUDREY BLACKWELL STA WRTER Sarasota County Public School Board will no longer be the sole authority to approve charter schools in the county. Superintendent Lori White told school board members at a workshop Tuesday about the state s decision and added the district will appeal it. Deborrah Metheny, supervisor of charter schools, said that until recently those who wanted to start up a charter school had only to apply to the school board. But many of the applications were routinely denied. Very few have been approved in recent years. Up until two years ago, local school boards and select state universities were the only entities allowed to authorize charter schools in lorida. On June 26, 2006, then- Gov. Jeb Bush signed legislation creating a state-level charter school authorizer: lorida Schools of Excellence Commission, which recently became functional. According to the state Web site, This independent statewide commission will directly sponsor charter schools and authorize municipalities, state universities, community colleges to co-sponsor charter schools in lorida, expanding educational opportunities for students. White, Metheny and school board members were frustrated at the denial since the district was previously granted exclusivity based on a similar application. The district scored 47 out of 50 points on this year s application, Metheny said, and only one other district ranked higher, at 49 points, and was also denied exclusivity. n fact, no school district was granted exclusivity, Metheny said. ormer charter school applicants complained exclusivity took away their right to appeal to the state after having been denied at the local level. Gary Leatherman, communications director for the school district, said staff feels strongly we should have the authority to approve/deny a charter school. Once one is granted, we, as a school district, have a fiduciary responsibility for the performance of the school, and it is an unfair imposition on the district. The district will file an appeal with the state on June 16 and justify why it should have exclusivity, according to Metheny.

Asso REAUORS PHOTOS COURTESY O STEVE CARR A female loggerhead turtle came ashore at Caspersen Beach May 31 to make its nest in broad daylight, rather than in the dark of night when nesting normally occurs. n these photos, the turtle crawls close to a couple on the shore, heads up to a high point on the beach, passing over some of the couple s things before digging its nest and laying its eggs. The nesting lasted about 45 minutes and the turtle then returned to the Gulf. As sea turtles normally return to the area where they themselves hatched, it is likely that this female hatched along Caspersen Beach some 30 or more years ago. BY KM COOL EATURES EDTOR M ay 31, at 4 p.m., a female loggerhead sea turtle ignored its genetic programming and made its nest at Caspersen Beach in broad daylight and right next to someone s beach umbrellas. t was so bizarre, said Steve Carr, who watched and photographed the rare occurrence. My wife and were walking down the beach and saw this thing crawling up by these people who were sitting by the water. t almost knocked one lady over. She (the woman) was sitting there and it didn t detour. t went right past her. On a mission, the turtle headed toward higher ground, which happened to be next to the lady s beach umbrella, towels and other items. Crawling over some of the items, it headed straight to its nesting site and immediately began digging its nest, using its back flippers. Carr, a professional photographer, with a Nikon and long-distance lens, starting shooting. watched her for about 45 minutes, he said. saw her dig her nest and settle in and her eyes kind of glazed over. A couple of years ago saw a nest hatch. What a great experience. That was so awesome. t was about four years ago, north of the pavilion at the Venice Beach. This time the nesting site was about 1 mile south of the last parking lot along Caspersen Beach in Venice, he said. t made a beeline to the nest, he said. The lady in the chair said it almost knocked her over. t headed up the beach about 50 feet to where they had some umbrellas and found a spot there and dug a hole and then laid its eggs, t is a rare occasion when sea turtles nest in daylight, especially loggerheads, Kristen Mazzarella, a staff biologist in the sea turtle program at Mote Marine Laboratory, said. She confirmed it was a loggerhead after viewing the photos. The turtle had some barnacles and green moss on the back of its shell. Carr said the turtle s mouth was beak-shaped and up close it appeared that its eyes were watering. The Coastal Wildlife Club monitors the sea turtle nests along Caspersen Beach, although Mazzarella said that Mote also would be interested because of the circumstance of the daytime nesting. t methodically used mostly its back legs and she alternated one side and then the other, he said. You could see her working into the sand. She dug until the back half of her body was down deeper into the sand and then she became very still at that point. While Carr saw and photographed the sand flying as the female loggerhead dug its nest, he was unable to see the eggs dropping into that nest, even though he walked around behind her, because it was fairly deep into the nest. Thinking the egg laying process might take an hour or more, Carr and his wife decided to walk farther down the beach, hoping to return in time to see the turtle head back into the Gulf. But when we got back, she was already back in the surf, Carr said. About half an hour had passed from the time he resumed walking, he said. When he returned, about 45 minutes had elapsed from the time the female loggerhead came ashore to when it had returned into the water. There were a couple of chairs still there, he said. The folks there said it didn t take long and that after a half hour, she was finished and gone, nearly knocking into the same lady again. Carr, who lives in Naperville, ll., but winters in Venice, worked in the advertising field. Using his Nikon he took 143 (10 megabyte digital) photos that day at the beach, including a few of a dead manatee that had washed ashore on Golden Beach. The manatee s body was removed by scientists within minutes of Carr s arrival. The nesting occurred about 4 p.m. Tony Tucker, Mote s staff biologist in charge of the sea turtle program, said there was a moderate tide at that time and it was going out about when the turtle come ashore. Sea turtle season runs from May 1 through Oct. 1 each year, with most of the nesting completed by early July. n Venice, which has darker and therefore warmer sand, hatching occurs about days after nesting. Mote and Coastal Wildlife volunteers patrol the beaches every morning at the beginning of the season to identify and mark nests. They continue monitoring the nests until the last hatching occurs, inventorying the nests for hatched and unhatched eggs at that time.

Hot mamas and cool daddies is the term Tucker uses to describe this phenomenon. Tucker, an internationally known expert on sea turtles, left a few days after this daytime nesting occurrence, to go to the west coast of Australia to research sea turtles there. Mote s sea turtle conservation and research program covers 35 miles of gulf beaches in Sarasota County. Trained volunteers and Mote personnel monitor the beaches during sea turtle season, identifying and marking nests, inventorying those nests at season s end and maintaining statistics year by year. Recent statistics show a slight decline in the numbers of loggerhead nests and a slight increase in the number of nests made by green sea turtles, which were prevalent in the area 100 years ago. They were nearly eradicated by humans who caught them to use the meat in turtle soup and by both humans and animals that ate their eggs. Animals such as raccoons and coyotes continue to threaten the species along Gulf coast beaches. Humans who do not shield lights, which can disorient both nesting and hatchling turtles, pose another threat. When disoriented, the turtles can wander into harm s way and away from the relative safety of the sea. To that end, the city of Venice has enacted a lighting ordinance which applies during sea turtle season and MPORTANT NORMATON Turtle season is May 1-Oct. 31. t is against state and federal law to touch or disturb nesting sea turtles, hatchlings or nests. f you see a live or dead turtle on the beach, call the turtle stranding pager number, Certified turtle watchers wear Mote Turtle Patrol T-shirts.

As well as maintaining nesting data, Mote scientists tag turtles with flipper tags and also track some via satellite, using transmitters that are glued to the back of the turtle s shell. Satellite tags cost about 3,500 each. The cost is funded by donations, Tucker said.

Eighty-seven percent of the spine care professionals agreed that obesity plays a major role in back pain, and 94% recommended weight loss as a treatment for obese patients. ifty-five percent of the spine care professionals found that weight loss resulted in major improvements in obese patients symptoms.

22 6B RDAY JUNE 13, 2008 BENNETT GROSS GUEST COLUMNST A seven-letter word: courage n the game of Scrabble a player who puts out seven letters is rewarded with 50 extra points. As my wife and played our almost nightly game, was thinking of a sevenletter word that would describe the human trait that wanted to write about: courage. There are many kinds of bravery and certainly that displayed on the battlefields always seems to come up front and center. But what about the courage to rise up and speak out when others are being oppressed and you risk danger in doing so? Certainly the Holocaust comes to mind when so many said so little and did so little to save the Jewish people and others who Hitler and his demons wanted to destroy. n totalitarian countries such as China, those who speak out are jailed while in others, ruled by the iron hand of the military or dictators, dissent is punished by death. Yet even in our democratic country that cherishes the right to free speech, taking an unpopular view can be deemed unpatriotic. There is an expression in Chinese that a writer put forth in a New York Times article about how Chinese leaders have suppressed any mention of the Tiananmen Square massacre: One can only stand up from the place where one fell. Only now is the religious community beginning to stand up to the challenges of global warming and of how we let our national leadership mislead us for so many years. There is another issue that begs to be confronted with courage and a plan: illegal immigration. remember going to a meeting about farm workers and hearing the speaker say, How can a human being be termed illegal? Of course they did not enter the country through the prescribed channels mainly because those channels were closed. But when you realize why they chose the path they did that they came not as terrorists but to work in subservient jobs for subservient wages from a country where they could not even earn that where then is our mercy? Where then are the words of Emma Lazarus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty that begin: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Have we lost our sense RELGON of compassion, our desire to help those in need? That is a mark not only of national identity but of our religious beliefs to those anti-immigration zealots who base their claims on patriotism but in reality are mocking our nation s most deeply held values to be a torch of freedom, not oppression. The people who have crossed our borders have done so not in the hope of finding streets paved with gold, but in the desperation of finding work, backbreaking work (jobs that most Americans do not want) to provide their families with the basic necessities of life. Rather than offer them a path to making reparations and resuming a legal life, we have imprisoned many of them and forced millions of others to live in fear and poverty. This is not what we as a nation of immigrants are all about, is it? Nor is it what we as people of faith have been taught to believe. n the Torah (Deuteronomy 16:20) we hear the cry: Justice, justice you shall pursue. The prophets believed justice is what matters most to God, Rabbi Telushkin states in Jewish Literacy. ndeed Amos declares, Let justice well up as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.

34 The Sun June 13, 2008 Page 2 D/E/N/C/V Venice Gondolier Sun America s early true economy vehicle The 1952 Crosley pickup, shown with owner rancis Hoath, 74, was one of America s early true economy vehicles made from 1939 thru 1952, mostly in Marion, nd. The very early models were like glorified golf carts, with everything about them plain and very simple in every way. This company manufactured an early prototype of the military jeep, but it was rejected because of trouble producing them in volume. They did, however, turn out thousands of engines, etc., used in generators for pumps and various equipment needed by the military. Starting in early 1946, the Crosley engineers had brand-new models up and available for carstarved citizens. They sold well and the parent company, a large maker of appliances, radios and TVs, was near the top of its field. All was good for the Crosley motorcar firm, despite some problems with engines early on, then the Big Three really started turning out fresh models in volume for not much more than the Crosley autos. They then tried to create different body styles, including station wagons, convertibles, and even two sporty roadsters and a very short run of pickups, one of which you see here. Some interesting specs include: Their normal engine was only 44 cubic inches, turning out 26 horsepower, resulting in road-cruising speeds of 45 to 50 mph. They were almost 12 feet long and could carry up to four people (folks were thinner back then), weighing under 1,100 pounds. Gas mileage was anywhere from 30 to 50 miles per gallon, depending on the load and driver habits. plan to do a future column about people who are original owners of vintage cars and trucks that are at least 25 years old. f you and your vehicle fit this description and wish to be included in said article, kindly phone me at m certain there are many of you out there, so many that several columns may be needed to get everyone in. When calling and my answering machine comes on, please speak slow and clear when providing basic information as to the year, make, model and color of your baby, along with your phone number and the best time to reach you. We can have some easy fun doing this together, and it will surely will be of interest to readers. Don Royston is the president and cofounder of the Southwest lorida Chapter of The Veteran Motor Car Club of America. He can be reached at jz- You Auto Know Total recorded production was about 74,000. After the 1952 series, the plant was permanently closed down and sold to General Tire Company, which really wanted only the real estate. Crosley has a national club with a following of loyal owner members. Port Charlotte has the second-largest restorer of these now-prized machines. The mechanic prefers to remain anonymous, for no other reason than he already has more work than he can handle. Those who own this marque call him from all over the U.S. and Canada for parts and/or advice. Hoath s story is interesting too, getting into old cars years ago buying and fixing up numerous early ord V- 8s, Plymouths, Buicks and one 1953 Cadillac convertible which he wishes he never sold to a friend. A few years ago, this colorful man had a heart attack, at which time his doctor advised him to stop working and get an easy hobby. The Crosley bug bit him hard enough to buy a 1948 station wagon and this very rare pickup (only 700 were made), which is now fully restored. Looking back to 1956 through 1964, he was in the U.S. Air orce, stationed in Portugal, with plenty of free time on his hands. The result was this clever fellow actually made a replica of a 1903 ord, followed by a 1901 Oldsmobile. Hoath said the ord is presently on display in a museum near Birmingham, Ala. His mechanical skills included being a machinist, a model T&EPC NE Don Royston maker and a plumber. Cold, nasty weather led to a permanent move to Punta Gorda, where he worked for a large plumbing concern for nine years. He started a core-drilling service of his own, operating it until he retired, all the time playing with old cars and coasting along in life. The Crosley makes him happy. Enough said! The other little 2 cylinder, 36 horsepower gas-saver auto pictured is a 1971 Honda owned by Amos and Anita Slater of Punta Gorda, formerly of armington Hills, Mich. This couple (especially Amos) have been interested in old cars for may years. He informed me that from age 10, tinkering with cars, trucks and tractors was a way of life. He graduated to become a master mechanic for 35 years, owning a large truck, a bus and an RV in Michigan, which he still has. They presently have a total of seven Buicks, one of almost all body styles for the 1964 model-year run. His father was a Buick man, thus Amos grew up with that GM ha. 1: AY t4,,n ff. r goo r brand. However, while in high school, one of his best friends owned a used 1973 Honda coupe, which provided a lot of cheap fun. That friend s Dad also had a good baby Honda, which was often used on trips from the Detroit area to Tennessee, and about which Dad bragged of it getting something like 60 mpg. Both the names Buick and Honda remained in his mind, and he even had a total of 60 of what would now be collector cars. He decided to stay with Buicks and find a special vintage Honda. While looking on ebay in 2005, a very special, one-of-a-kind 1971 custom-built convertible was for sale. t was soon in his possession. Though small only 10 feet long features like a power-operated top, a fancy radio and the interior make this rare auto stand out. When parked next to some of the motor homes at the Charlotte RV Center in Charlotte Harbor, which Anita and Amos own, it looks like a toy. The Crosley Company faded away, but Honda, of course, went on to f become a major player in today s array of economy vehicles. Had Crosley got with the times, it too might have become a household name.

35 The Sun Page 3 June 13, 2008 D/E/N/C/V Venice Gondolier Sun Saturn on is out, Saturn Astra is in By ANN M. JOB Saturn s newest model was engineered in Germany as an Opel car and comes to the States with relatively few changes. Best of all, the Astra s starting manufacturer s suggested retail price, including destination and delivery charge, is 16,495 for a 2008 fivedoor XE model with 138horsepower, four-cylinder engine, manual transmission and no air conditioning. The starting retail price with an automatic transmission is 17,820. These prices compare with the 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit hatchback from Europe, whose starting MSRP, including destination charge, is 16,250 with manual transmis- OR THE ASSOCATED PRESS The 2008 Saturn Astra is a compact car with decent fuel economy, attractive styling and, of all things, a European flair. Get behind the wheel of this lowest-priced Saturn and you ll notice such European cues as firmly supportive seats, thick steering wheel, different style of radio controls, exemplary steering and competent handling. And that s before you check out the window sticker that tells you the Astra is built in Belgium, has an engine from Hungary, a transmission from Austria and more than a third of its parts from Germany. sion and air conditioning, and the 2008 Mazda3 hatchback from Japan, which starts at 18,675 with manual and air conditioning. To be sure, Americans haven t been crazy about hatchback cars in decades, preferring sedans that often look pricier and can be roomier. This isn t a particularly peppy engine when the Astra is loaded with people and luggage. Torque peaks at 125 footpounds at 3,800 rpm. But it s an OK compromise in a car that weighs less than 3,000 pounds and gets better gasoline mileage than a VW Rabbit. (The Rabbit has a 2.5-liter, inline five cylinder generating more horsepower 170 and more torque 177 footpounds at 4,250 rpm.) The test Astra a three-door XR got the most out of its engine via a five-speed manual, though the engine got buzzy when pressed. Saturn offers an automatic tranny, but it has only four gears and fuel economy drops from the manual s 24 miles per gallon in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway to 24/30 mpg. During my test drive, with a majority of the driving done in the city, the Astra managed nearly 25 mpg. Regular unleaded is just fine in the Astra, and the gas tank holds 11.9 gallons for a range of just over 300 miles. The Astra is front- wheel drive, with the usual front-drive-car understeer when it s driven aggressively in corners. But there was nothing unsettling about the test Astra s road manners, and combined with good brake pedal feel, a steady feel of the road through the steering and nicely matched, 17-inch allseason performance tires, the Astra was nimble and enjoyable to drive. The thick body pillars around the rear window can obscure views as a driver backs out of parking spaces, and the radio controls require some deciphering. Saturn doesn t offer a typical, large-display screen navigation system for the Astra. But the car does have a nice feature from Europe a blinker stalk that requires just a little push to blink three times and then stop for those times a driver is merely moving from one lane to another. Other standard features on all models include six air bags, antilock brakes, antiwhiplash front head restraints, AM/M stereo with six speakers and a CD player, cruise control, power windows, doors and outside mirrors, manual-adjusting front seats and floor mats. The Astra has been sold in Europe since Saturn s previous small car, the on, was dropped from the lineup after the 2007 model year. Driver confesses to bad parking-brake behavior Dear Tom and Ray: Twice now, have left a late-evening rehearsal without releasing the parking brake on my 2007 Toyota Corolla Matrix, and driven 10 miles home (50 mph on the freeway most of the way) before discovering my ridiculous error. Please tell me what horrible things have done to my car. love this car, and really don t want to confess to anyone what have done! You re my only hope for advice scathing though it may be! Gratefully yours Amy RAY: You ve been drinking too many glasses of Mateus during rehearsal, Amy. TOM: Don t feel bad about the parking brake. ve done this myself. ortunately, it was always on a customer s car! RAY: t s possible that you ve done some damage, Amy. But we can t tell without inspect- TOM: f they did overheat, you could have cracked your brake shoe linings, or even warped the brake drums. But doubt it. RAY: Me, too. Any decent mechanic can tell you after taking a quick look. The range of what this might cost you runs from nothing (our guess), to about 150 if you need shoes, to 350 if you need your drums replaced, too. TOM: But here s a surefire way to prevent this in the future: Apply the parking brake more firmly. How firmly? Try this experiment: Put the car in drive with your foot on the brake pedal. RAY: Do this on an open driveway, where you have some room to move, not in front of your prized African tulips or your freshly painted garage door. TOM: Right. With the car in drive and your foot on the brake, pull up the parking brake and take your foot off the brake pedal. The car shouldn t move. f it does, pull up harder on the hand brake and try again. Not only should the car stay perfectly still, but if you step on the gas and try to drive it away, you should feel a discernible drag on the car, like something is wrong. RAY: f you can t get to that point, your parking brake might not be working properly, and you should have it looked at. TOM: But once you find that spot, Amy, where it s hard to drive away that s how hard you should apply the parking brake every time you park the car. RAY: f you do that, there are two benefits. No. 1, the parking brake will be sure to do its job and prevent the car from rolling away if it ever slips out of gear. And No. 2, it ll keep you from driving home with the parking brake engaged, because even YOU will notice that something s wrong, Amy. Good luck! TAKE ADVANTAGE O A ll, i 1 1 ing the rear brakes. So, you re going to have to go to the confessional at your local dealership, close the curtain and spill everything to your service adviser. TOM: Don t worry, he s heard much worse. RAY: What you did was the equivalent of driving with your foot pressed partway down on the brake pedal but only for the rear brakes. Depending upon how firmly your parking brake was applied while you drove (clearly not that firmly, if you were able to drive on the freeway at 50 mph), you could have overheated those rear brakes.

37 .ee o The 4- Sun Page 5 D/E/N/C/V June 13, 2008.eo Venice Gondolier Sun Mercedes adds high-powered C-Class sedan By ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCATED PRESS The 2008 Mercedes- Benz C63 AMG shows why shoppers can t tell just by the size of a car whether it s a highmileage vehicle or a gas guzzler. The C63 AMG is a fivepassenger compact sedan, which puts it in the same size category as a Honda Civic. But this small Mercedes is no fuel-thrifty Honda. ndeed, the C63 AMG has the third worst federal government fuel economy rating of all 2008 compact cars sold in the United States. Only a couple of Bentleys fare worse in fuel mileage in the compact car segment. With city and highway mileage estimates of just 12 and 19 miles per gallon, respectively, from the federal government, the C63 AMG can guzzle more gasoline per mile than a Hummer. The C63 AMG is pricey, too. Starting manufacturer s suggested retail price, including destination charge and a 2,100 gas guzzler tax, is 56,725. This is some 24,000 more than a base C-Class sedan, the C300. And the C63 AMG s starting price doesn t include AMG premium leather or navigation system. These features add another 5,900 to the price of the car. So what s the appeal of the C63 AMG, which debuted in the States two months ago as the top Mercedes C-Class model? AMG is the sports/racing brand of Mercedes, and its vehicles hold special status around the world because of the attention to detail and exclusivity. Basically, if you have a Mercedes AMG vehicle in your garage, you re a member of a rare club. Another point of pride is the power that AMG vehicles exude. The compact, rear-wheel drive, 2008 C63 AMG has thrust and horsepower that s as palpable as that of a rocket ship. A V-8 that s 6.3 liters in displacement bigger than the V-8 that s in a Cadillac Escalade is in the engine compartment, cranking out 457 horsepower and 465 foot-pounds of torque at 1? f 4 n this photo released by Mercedes shows the C63 AMG. 5,200 rpm. This is a lot more than what s needed to propel Mercedes small sedan weighing just 3,649 pounds. f wasn t careful, the test car would vault up parking garage ramps, race past slower cars on freeways, and rocket out of the driveway with a force that pushed me firmly back into the seatback. couldn t help but open the hood to gaze upon the V-8. Each AMG V-8 is hand built at a Germany factory. With the philosophy of one man, one engine, the factory assigns just one technician yes, he puts in every part to each engine, and his name goes on a small signature plate atop the engine. Best of all, the shifting in such a powerful car wasn t jerky or awkward. The C63 AMG is mated to a sophisticated sevenspeed automatic transmission. A driver can shift the gears herself, via paddles on the steering wheel or by using the center console gearshifter. r yi??.?.?

WHEELBASE: inches. CURB WEGHT: 3,649 But there s more. A driver of this car has three shift modes to choose from comfort, sport and manual and each has computerprogrammed algorithms that change how quickly the shifting occurs. or example, in sport mode, gear shifting is some 30 percent faster than it is in comfort mode. Of course, the big problem in the test car wasn t the speed. t was keeping the car within speed limits. n residential neighborhoods, the C63 AMG felt like it was crawling along the pavement, and 55 miles per hour on the highway felt more like 35 mph. There s a telltale sense that this car is built for the autobahn, but we don t have any here. The C63 AMG also showed its mettle in spirited driving in mountain twisties. With a wider track than before and a revised rear multilink suspension, the test sedan cornered impressively and confidently held its line. The grip of the 18- inch, Z-rated, performance tires was comforting, and braking power is appropriately strong, thanks to big, 14.2-inch discs in front and 13-inchers in back. The C63 AMG is the first AMG car with a three-stage electronic stability control system. The system includes a sport function that can let the car drift a bit as in a racing maneuver before intervening. Sport seats in front cradled me closely and helped keep me in place during spirited driving. All gauges in the instrument cluster were easy to read and newly styled with red needles. A neat feature for weekend racers is the Race mode in the main STATS pounds. BULT AT: Germany. OPTONS: Multimedia package (includes 7-inch, retractable dashboard display, 40-gigabyte hard drive with navigation system, Harman/kardon Logic 7 surround sound and voice control for phone, audio and navigation) 2,950; leather package (includes AMG premium leather upholstery, menu display that lets a driver use the racetimer to measure and compare lap times on a track. But could have done without the self-opening and self-closing door over the 7-inch display in the middle of the dashboard. t was rather slow, clunky and can tangle with the cord to a radar detector. The car s 38.5-foot turning circle was larger than expected, and rear-seat legroom of 33.4 inches is less than what s in a Honda Civic. The exterior of the C63 AMG is different from regular C-Classes by having some lower body pieces and a hood that has two power H.. l a..?.l.? /'! `} '' A r. _ 34 AP PHOTO eight-way, power front sport seats with memory and power steering column with memory) 2,950; premium package (includes bi-xenon headlamps with active curve illumination, power rear window shade and corner illuminating fog lamps) 1,080; Tele Aid 650; ipod integration kit 375.

Engine sounds do, too. loved the deep power sounds that came from the V-8. t made the C63 AMG sound more like a big muscle car than a compact sedan. But the two twin chrome tailpipes looked a little too boy racer for my tastes. Nearly all safety features are standard on the car, including curtain air bags and side-mounted, frontseat air bags.

42 Page 2 Be prepared before going offshore This is the time of year when winds lighten to gentle offshore breezes in the morning hours and seas in the Gulf are light. The normal pattern continues with a period of almost glass-like calm seas as the wind begins to clock around to onshore breezes. The gentle conditions allow usual inshore boaters and anglers an opportunity to explore offshore waters in relative safety. But many anglers and boaters who normally stay inshore are ill equipped for the vastness of the featureless Gulf and can potentially end up placing themselves in peril. We ve all seen the stories on the local news stations of lost offshore boaters some with tragic results. nshore anglers have an almost lassiez-faire attitude when it comes to safety. Sure most have the mandatory safety equipment, an onboard GPS and cell phones in case something should The lorida ish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will hold a supplemental sales period for people who failed to get an alligator hunt permit or those who would like to return a permit with the hope of trying to obtain another. This additional sales period will help reduce any inconveniences caused by a computer programming glitch during the initial sales period on June 3, which resulted in EDTOR S OPNON CAPT.

But the proximity of land makes some of us careless. often forget to put my hand-held VH radio in my bag when head out for a few hours of fishing even fish with guys who don t own a radio. We tend to take our well being on the water for granted as we boat in the relative shallow waters of Charlotte Harbor and backcountry. Heading to offshore waters is another thing altogether and requires some confusion and frustration for many applicants as they tried to buy permits. Persons who are unsure of whether they have been awarded a permit should check their status online by going to com/gators and clicking on Check Your Alligator Harvest Permit Status. A limited set of permits will go on sale starting at 10 a.m. June 17 on a firstcome, first-served basis through the Total Licensing System. planning. There may not be another boat in sight for the entire trip to lend assistance, cell phones will stop working, and things could go really wrong in short order. Here are a few things for small-boat owners to think about before heading out into the blue water. Pay attention to the weather. A long run back to port in nasty weather isn t only dangerous; it s uncalled for. Today s technology places all the information needed for a safe day on the water at one s fingertips with the many weather sites on the nternet. Check one or two before heading out the door. ile a float plan: d be willing to bet that the majority of inshore boaters and anglers heading out on the water for a few hours don t even consider a float plan or at least informing someone where they ll be. t would be a wise move to let someone know when Outdoor Central s management team has identified and corrected the glitch in its system. A listing of the minimum number of permits that will be available during this supplemental sales period, along with instructions on how to return unwanted permits and more details about this opportunity, will be posted on the WC s Alligator Management Web site at www. MyWC.com/gators. The deadline to purchase a you re leaving, when you expect to return and what to do if you don t. Bring along charts of the area and a compass. The popularity of affordable GPS units makes life safer on the water but if one should fail, it would be wise to have a backup source for navigating. Make sure all safety equipment required for the size of your boat is current, operating and readily accessible signaling devices, extinguishers, personal floatation and such. You may need them in a hurry. Make sure all navigational lights are working and bring spare bulbs. Bring along flashlights or searchlights as insurance. Make sure your gauges function properly. A malfunctioning fuel gauge can and does spell disaster. Have plenty of fuel for the trip. Think in terms of using a quarter of the fuel for the trip out, permit is 11:59 p.m. June 23. The date when customers can purchase additional permits, if any are available after the initial and supplemental sales periods, has been postponed from June 10 to June 24 at 10 a.m. On The Cover: another for general fishing, boating, etc. another for the trip back and the last quarter for an emergency. Have a VH radio onboard, no excuses. Consider purchasing an EPRB (Emergency Position ndicating Radio Beacon) or a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon). They re transmitting devices that can and do insure someone will find you if your vessel goes down. Other items that should be part of a safety kit should include: A first aid kit, tools and spare parts, spare propeller and lock nut, sunscreen, extra clothing, drinking water and food (energy bars stow well), prescription drugs, and binoculars. This is a short list for a day trip and is in no way complete. f you do decide to head offshore, take the time and effort to insure a safe return. Remember: Leaving port is an option, returning is mandatory. Be safe.

Most addiction to fishing And if there is any Management Area in likely the fish were and don t make doubt that m hooked search of cooperative feeling lazy in the heat this admission as part of some multi-step program designed to cure me of the affliction. n fact, don t want to be cured and don t think ever will be cured. One sign of my addiction can be seen in my garage where ve accumulated far too much fishing gear. ve got as many rods as some tackle shops. Another sign is that choose to spend large chunks of my leisure time chasing fish even though also spend large chunks of my professional life involved in chasing fish. or example, even though ve spent quite a few days this spring chasing tarpon, cobia, redfish, snook, sharks, mackerel and many other highly desirable saltwater species, still chose to spend a recent on all kinds of fishing then consider that even with all the glamour species currently available, happily spent an afternoon fishing in tiny local ponds where the biggest fish in the entire body of water could have been used for bait in some of our saltwater fisheries. On the day of this most recent fishing madness, picked up my accomplice (known as Nova Scotia Doug) and headed out in the heat of the afternoon on a blazing hot day, scarcely ideal time for pond fishing, but it was the time when we could both get away. We threw a couple of fly rods and an assortment of handtied and store-bought flies in the truck and for our first stop we headed south to the fish. One of the few benefits of our current drought is that pond levels are low and the banks are dried out, making for easy shoreline fishing. We fished two ponds, both of which are accessible only after a short hike and don t receive much angling pressure. We were able to fish our way completely around each pond and had similar results in each. We caught a handful of small bluegill and a couple of small bass. The water in each pond was clear enough to see that there were many more bass interested enough follow our flies, but most would turn off without attempting to take, even though we tried a variety of surface and sinking patterns imitating both insects of the afternoon, or so we told each other to salvage our fragile egos. Undeterred by the fact that in two hours of fishing we had probably perspired more pounds of sweat than we d caught pounds of fish, we opted for a change of venue. steered the truck north and headed back towards town to a location that shall remain unnamed where there are retention ponds alongside a busy road. These ponds were not constructed for fishing and were never ASK CAPT. RALPH Captain Ralph, My name is Jim Heichelbech and after reading your article in the May 29 issue of WaterLine, have a question concerning the lorida regulations. n the article, it s stated in section 3 that catch-and-release anglers are not affected by the new regulations pertaining to the venting and dehooking tools and that the rule applies only to those people, fishing out of a boat, and are harvesting their fish. My question is, what difference does it make if the fish are being harvested and not released? The whole purpose of the new required equipment is to give fish a better chance of survival after release. Am missing something or am misunderstanding the new rules? Thanks. stocked with fish, but nature has provided fish by whatever mysterious method and there is now a thriving population of bass, bluegill, tilapia and others.

ADDCTON P7 Ask about our REE Captain s Package with the purchase of any boat Coming in June 2008 Our New State of the Art acility Jim, The lorida version of the new rules (there is a similar, but slightly different federal version that applies in federal waters of the Gulf) specifies that the rules apply to anglers harvesting reef fish species from a vessel. Shore or pier anglers and those anglers who practice only catch-and-release are not included. Yes, it does seem odd that the wording of regulations exempts catch-and-release anglers in state waters. The new rules will require venting tools to be carried by boats harvesting mangrove snapper and a few other reef fish species in shallow inshore waters where venting is not recommended, which also seems odd. This may be a rule that gets tweaked by the CC at some point in the future. Capt.

47 June 12, 2008 lorida boaters lead the nation in grisly statistics BOATNG SAETY BLL HEMPEL The latest statistics released by the lorida ish and Wildlife Conservation Commission show that in 2007 lorida once again lead the nation in deaths from boating accidents. The 77 deaths from boating accidents weren t the only statistic we took first place in. lorida also has the highest number of total boating accidents as well as the highest incidence of deaths per 100 accidents. There is however, one statistic that is of some concern. t seems lorida boaters have killed more people through boating accidents than any other state in only 16 out of the last 20 years. guess we just weren t trying in those other four years. This causes me some concern over whether or not we will be able to keep our hold on first place next year, so have some tips for my fellow boaters to make sure we keep our lock on first place. Please do not take a Power Squadron boating class. Heaven knows that if you knew how to use a chart, utilize weather forecasts, handle your PHOTO PROVDED These kids aren t helping lorida keep the top spot. boat, deal with emergencies, understood skippers responsibilities, and all the other things they teach in the classes; we probably would have less accidents. Next, never wear your life jackets. Since the leading cause of deaths is drowning and in over 80 percent of the drownings, the victims did not have on a life jacket; surely wearing one would eliminate most of the deaths. Can t have that happen! Also, do not have a VH radio onboard, registered with your boat D. f you had the ability to call for help to closely passing fellow boaters, you might be assisted quickly. Why not use your cell phone to call a friend or even 911. They could then call the WC or Coast Guard and have a boat dispatched from 20 to 25 miles away and have help to you easily in 5 to 6 hours. Who needs help quickly in an emergency? And don t spend money on high flotation life jackets that turn an unconscious person s face up in the water. f you buy those inexpensive orange jackets, with less flotation, less thermal insulation and a probability to float you face down; you can save enough money to pay for more alcohol to drink while at the helm. Those factors put together should really help us keep that death rate up there. You can save a lot of time and bother by not filling out a float plan. f your family or friends knew your expected time of return, they might become concerned early and alert authorities to start a search and rescue. The destinations included in a float plan would also direct rescuers to you and save a lot of wasted search time. Can t have those rescuers out there armed with the knowledge of where to look. That might save you. Even more importantly, if going off shore, don t have an EPRB on board. That thing will send out a call for help automatically while constantly broadcasting your location hard to avoid rescue under those conditions. Lastly, if your boat capsizes, be sure to swim to shore for help. f you stay with the boat you have something afloat to hang on to, a place to climb up out of the cold water and a big white hull to be spotted from the air. Swim to shore so you are harder to see and increase the probability of hypothermia and drowning. f you will follow my tips above, then we have a great chance to kill the most boaters in the nation once again next year. Who wants to volunteer to contribute to the cause and help us stay number one? Bill Hempel is Asst. Safety Officer for the Peace River Power Squadron ADDCTON rom page 4 whizzing past. While the fishing was not red hot here either, we did catch a few larger bass including a couple that bested the one-pound barrier. No giants, but plenty of fun on light fly rods. These ponds are an example of a fishery that s usually overlooked, probably because they re right alongside such a busy road that no one thinks to fish in them. By day s end we d spent six hours and driven 30 miles and had collectively caught approximately 30 fish. While 30 fish sounds like a bunch, the total weight of the 30 fish was probably less than 10 pounds. No matter, it was a hoot, just like always.

48 Page 8 Circumnavigating the Harbor Editor s note: Will White has turned over his next five columns to Bill Dolan of Placida. Bill wrote this account of a four-day cruise around Charlotte Harbor for a few sailing friends, and White thought it deserved a wider readership. This cruising log details the circumnavigation of Charlotte Harbor, May 7 through 10, 2008, by Sea Bird, a Marshall Sanderling 18-foot LOA gaff rigged catboat with three days supplies aboard, and her skipper, Bill Dolan. DAY 1: ROM PLACDA TO SANBEL SLAND t seems to be one of the unspoken rules of sailing that the wind will blow strongly from the exact direction you wish to go. My original plan was to sail directly south from Placida to the Tween-Waters Marina in Captiva sland with a lunch stop at Cayo Costa. That would be the mid-point of the trip and a convenient place to have my prepared lunch and visit with my friend Mike the park ranger. With a wind of 15 knots blowing directly on the nose from the south, a trip into the teeth of the wind seemed unwise and very uncomfortable. Moving on to Plan B, decided d take advantage of the wind and head North to Stump Pass State Park some 10 miles up the coast. rom Eldred s, Sea Bird and headed GUEST COLUMNST BLL DOLAN out the small swash channel that parallels the Boca Grande Causeway and heads directly out into the Gulf of Mexico. One carefully picks his way through the shoals and cannot be in a hurry to turn in a northerly direction. Once we were out in the Gulf and a mile or so off shore, a brisk breeze pushed the boat north at a speed of five knots towards the Stump Pass inlet. This inlet is constantly being changed by shoals but is well marked with day marks and lighted buoys and no boat should really have any difficulty navigating its way. The ride northbound was wet with a following sea and was well soaked by the time made it into the inlet. Stump Pass State Park offers picnic tables, showers and a protected anchorage. took advantage of all and included a welldeserved afternoon You ve Got t! Someone Else Wants t! Call To Advertise With Us! nap. The winds increased through the afternoon and headed southbound on the ntracoastal Waterway towards the Palm sland restaurant where could take advantage of free dockage and a sumptuous meal. By the time was finished with dinner it was dark and the winds had calmed considerably. Out came the spotlight and on went the navigation lights. moved south along the CW under motor about five miles further south to Don Pedro State Park. This park is relatively new and is quite a facility. t is on Little Gasparilla sland and has all the amenities one could ask for. ree dockage, rest rooms, showers, covered eating facilities, grills and close by beach access are available. This park is C rystal C BULDNG & only accessible by shallow-water boats as the hard-to-find channel that leads to its entrance is dredged only to two and one half feet. A small, wellhidden sign at the channel entrance marks the entrance through the mangroves. made myself a cup of tea, set my mosquito netting, then read my book and caught the latest weather forecast on the radio. Ah, good, the winds are forecast to be from the north tomorrow as a cold front passes during the night. A rain shower preceded the cold front on schedule. As pondered the day, realized had put in a full day of sailing and had made a complete circle that put me back within a mile of Eldred s, my starting point. ay MARNE, NC Com plete BoatServices BERGLASS REPARS CUSTOM W OODW ORK ELECTRCAL SYSTEM S PLUM BNG ENGNE REPLACEM ENTS GENERATORS GELCOAT TR A N SO M S STR N G ER S BOAT PANTNG B O TTO M PA N T CANVAS & UPHOLSTERY SHOP Ta ylorrd Pu n ta Gorda, /4 mi North ofjon es Loop Rd,Exit * LOLLES MAR//1E SALES Boat & Yacht Brokerage SUNCOAST BOATNG 7330 BOATS-POWERED CASH PAD or Your Boat or Yacht.Any Size or Price.Will Come To You.

51 June 12, 2008 Page 11 Offshore fly fishing action is getting hot Beg, plead, whine, stow away or do whatever you can to hitch a ride on an offshore boat this summer because hardpulling, powerful fish await the fly rod enthusiast. Better yet, offer to share expenses fuel costs being what they are with your buddies who own offshore rigs. Summer offers up great fly fishing opportunities for anglers looking to tangle with brutes LY SHNG CAPT. ROD WALNCHUS that will make their arms sore in quick order. They aren t the usual suspects like snook, redfish, trout and such; they re amberjacks, barracuda, sharks, bonito, blackfin tuna and the occasional kingfish. And they can all be taken with a wellpresented fly. t may not be easy, but it s definitely worth the trouble. Many summer mornings begin with relatively calm conditions that make for an easy run to offshore locations and relatively easy casting conditions for fly fishermen. Take note that boats rigged for offshore fishing even small ones aren t fly fishing friendly. Storing a 9-foot fly rod is often problematic, but easily solved by bringing along a four-piece rod and WATERLNE PHOTO BY ROD WALNCHUS George Schram shows off a good amberjack he caught fly fishing offshore. rigging it up upon your arrival at a spot. Casting is also problematic because T-tops, antennae, outriggers and large helm stations get in the way. By positioning yourself along one side of the boat port side for right-handers facing the stern casts can be made behind the boat by reaching out and casting along the length of the boat. This will keep you out of everyone else s way. Don t even thing about bringing a rod lighter than a 10-weight. Most fish are powerful, make long runs and are large, so bring tackle strong enough to tame them in short order. Besides the other guys on the boat will appreciate not having their fishing time chewed up by excessively long fly rod battles. OK, the fish: Bonito: Schools of feeding bonito can be easily spotted from a distance. Wheeling and diving birds give them away as does the churned up water. A fly rod rigged with floating line and any light colored baitfish pattern will should get you into fish. The action can be fast and furious, much like the fish. Blackfin tuna: They may be mixed in with bonito or by themselves, especially when long distance trips are taken. Use the same drill when fishing for them, but the reality is: Catching one is usually a surprise while you fishing for something else. Amberjack: f you re serious about catching amberjack with your fly rod then stop and fill the livewell with baitfish. Once anchored over a reef, wreck or structure, begin throwing out chummers much like inshore snook fishermen do to attract them near the surface.

Every fisherman handles them, but the disposal process differs from angler to angler. Some of you are lucky enough to have a fishcleaning table on your dock. don t have a dock or a saltwater canal. So that means my back yard picnic table does double duty as my marine butcher shop. The entrails end there. nitially, my wife was not happy to discover was filleting fish atop a table designed for munching sweet corn and watermelon. guess seeds and cobs are OK, but trout ribs rub her the wrong way. ish scales are great surface protectors. Even with a thorough wash down, my picnic table shines like a silver king. Did you know that most high fashion shimmering lipsticks contain fish scales as a prime ingredient? try not to make a mess. cover the wooden table planks with newspaper old editions of WaterLine are perfectly suited to absorb runny fish innards. Make sure and read the WaterLine first. Don t ever use shiny cover fishing magazines. They have a low absorbency rate kind of like cheap paper towels. used to wrap up the remains of the day and dump them into a black plastic lawn and leaf bag. Wal- Mart was out of them one day and bought a roll of bags that were supposedly environmentally friendly.

54 June 12, 2008 Page 15 Matching jighead styles to conditions spent some time a few days ago fishing a few of my favorite Bull Bay shorelines. As it s been lately and for what seems like forever, the wind was blowing strong out of the southwest. This combined with the afternoon high tide pushed lots of water into the bushes and adjacent grassflats. This was also one of those days when was throwing a few of my favorite soft plastic jerkbaits and found myself having to make some small jighead adjustments to counter the conditions. Basically, needed just enough weight to provide dependable accurate casts and to also ensure that my baits got down to the bottom where felt the fish were holding. The water was extremely murky, as it had been turned up by the wind. n addition, wanted my baits to have LGHT TACKLE CAPT. MKE MANS a high profile while bouncing off the bottom through the sand holes that were mixed in with the seagrass. felt like this presentation would make the baits more visible. Most days, like to throw a lightweight, onesixteenth- or oneeighth-ounce, weedless style jighead that gives my baits a slow horizontal drop. This allows the jig to slowly work the entire water column. However on rough and choppy days that include a high tide, like a standard style jighead that drops straight down and allows the tail of the bait to swing back and forth on the bottom itself, especially in the sand holes. also like to go up in weight to about a quarter of an ounce. t just seems that when the water chops up, fish shy away from feeding in the upper end of the water column and eat better off the bottom. One things for sure, especially during spring, it seems like it just never stops blowing, but at least we re getting some good afternoon tides. More importantly, the fish do have to eat and sometimes a small adjustment can help make the difference. Besides, every time we tie on something a bit different, the anticipation as well as excitement level goes up. And isn t that one of the things that keeps us coming back for more; never knowing what s at the end of the next cast. One more thing, don t forget to tie the jighead on with a good loop knot. t ll help give your lure a lot more action. Capt. Mike Manis specializes in fishing the backcountry of Charlotte Harbor.

Our biggest bass of the five we caught weighed over 7 pounds. My other son James and his partner Gary Neimi weighed in a limit of five fish over 16 pounds enough to get a check for fifth place. There were two fish over 9 pounds weighed in at the tournament. The fish were caught on Lunker Lure products: The Hawg Caller in threequarter ounce, chartreuse and white spinnerbait and the Rattle Back jigs. The 8-inch Junebug Charlies Worm crawfishcolored black/blue and the watermelon version also produced fish. We used the Charlies crawfish as trailers on our Lunkers Lure jigs when flippin. We fished spinnerbait using 65-pound test Power Pro braided green line. The fish are where you can find them right now. They are not holding on any particular form of vegetation.

Cast relatively large poppers behind the boat and chug them back; the strikes are very, very cool. Barracuda: You ll probably see a mess of large barracuda around the boat that can often be taken with a fly rod. They aren t easy to fool but it can be done. ve had relatively good success using patterns like a Dalhberg diver can strip it back to the boat quickly and it often breaks the surface with a sputter or two. That action seems to trigger a strike reaction from wary barracuda. t doesn t work all the time, but it does work often enough to hang a big barracuda. Sharks: Sooner or later, sharks will show up around the boat, especially if you are chumming. Often they show up in good numbers and will become pests attacking other fish your buddies are trying to land. But they can be caught with a fly rod by drifting a large fly pattern in front of them, especially if you re chumming with dead bait or pieces of bait. The key here is to use a large, very visible pattern a large bright orange pattern works for me. Watch the fly as it drifts and watch the fish for the take, then set the hook. Hedge your bets by sliming the pattern with dead bait scent. Some very large sharks can be hooked this way. t may not be classic fly fishing, but it is fun in a perverted way. Again, a wire bite tippet is mandatory. This is a short list of offshore offerings; there are more but after tangle with these, you may not be up to the task. Do something different this summer; tangle with a brute. Have fun. Capt. Rod Walinchus is an author, illustrator, fly tyer and charter guide specializing in fly fishing. You can contact Capt.

All of our lakes in Central lorida could use some rain, but we ve had good year fishing for bluegill and shell crackers. A lot of folks go out on pontoon boats and fish with crickets, but small black rubber jigs are still doing well.

65 . Let s Go! Page 2 Musical returns to Mertz for run at the record Kim Cool Let s Go eatures Editor kcool@venicegondolier.com While some folks will be heading to Ramblers Rest in Venice for the monthly Southwest lorida Bluegrass Association event, others will be heading farther north to Sarasota for some culture of a different variety. Menopause, the Musical is scheduled for a return run in the Mertz Theatre at the lorida State University Center for the Performing Arts where it broke attendance records and was extended at least eight times two years ago. This time around, the show is scheduled to play from June 12 to July 13, with evening performances at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. matinees Saturday and Sunday. Even though the action takes place at a lingerie sale (or perhaps because of that premise), this musical had plenty of men in the audience during its previous run at the Mertz. eaturing songs that sound like songs that women (and men) knew and loved back in the 1960s and 1970s, this show has people wanting to sing along with the four women on stage as they talk and sing about chocolate binges, night sweats, too much sex as well as not enough sex. Heard it Through the Grapevine did not sound quite the same the first time around or even later on that commercial. Both book and lyrics were created by Jeanie Linders who somehow made that and the other tunes all sound better this time around. or tickets, call the SU Center s box office at or or visit t will be interesting to see if this summer s run breaks the previous attendance record. My money is on the show. Check t Out THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (Through June 14) The undisputed champion of audience devotion, The Rocky Horror Show is a rock musical spoof of old horror movies and a celebration of all sides of our natures.

We know from public records that the Punta Gorda City Council passed an ordinance in 1926 declaring Punta Gorda The City of Hibiscus, explained Dawn MacGibbon, president of the Punta Gorda National Hibiscus estival, nc. in a recent . They ordered 2,200 red hibiscus to be purchased and planted through out the city, and they encouraged all citizens to plant hibiscus on their property to enhance the city, their properties and the image that Punta Gorda presented to others. Eight years ago, 82 years later, the Punta Gorda City Council reaffirmed Punta Gorda as The City of Hibiscus. Each year organizers pick a new hibiscus for the festival. The 2008 hibiscus is the Gilchrist Gold, honoring Albert W. Gilchrist, governor of lorida from 1909 to 1913, and Gilchrist Park. The flower was grown by Curt Sinclair from LaBelle. According to This latest cultivar follows in the tradition of naming a flower after an appropriate and memorable person or event in the history of Punta Gorda. After Hurricane Charley, it was Eye of the Storm, the following year The New Look, and last year the striking bloom Celebration was cultivated for us. The City of Hibiscus identity is not the only link Punta Gorda has to the hibiscus. Harry Pete Goulding, a Punta Gorda resident from his birth in 1908 until his death in 1991, hybridized exotic hibiscus in the backyard of his fishing cottage on West Retta Esplanade, MacGibbon explained. As the word spread of Harry s prowess, people came from all over the world to meet Harry and watch his process, to pick his brain, to k NGLN6 Museum ofart

69 TRAVEL Let s Go! Page 6 By DEWAYNE BEVL THE ORLANDO SENTNEL ORLANDO High above nternational Drive, Wet n Wild patrons prepare to slide down the water park s newly revamped Black Hole attraction. Along its 500-foot plummet, they might encounter strobes, lasers, a shimmering water wall and sudden changes in temperature before splashing down. But even if those riders immediately return to the top, they re not likely to have the same experience. That s because the ride s special effects now occur in random sequences, one of the newest techniques used by theme parks and attractions to lure customers back for a second or third round. Theme parks have figured out that the real money is in the repeat visitors getting people to come back and do the ride again and again, said Robert Niles, editor of Theme Park nsider, a Web site devoted to theme parks. The way to do that is either create something that s just so incredible and amazing that people can t ever get enough of it or change it around so that it s different next time, he said. The forerunner of the everchanging rides is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney s Hollywood Studios. Built in 1994, it entered multiple-personality mode five years ago when random sequencing was introduced to its 13-story plunges. Variable factors include ride time, drop length and air time. Since then, advances in technology have encouraged themepark companies to create more attractions with user options and fluid features. At the Wet n Wild ride now called The Black Hole: The Next Generation riders select one of two slides, each with different effects and sequences. Technology developed since Black Hole debuted 10 years ago can help keep it fresh, said David Wright, director of marketing for the park. We have the ability to continually program the lights and the effects, he said. We could change the sequencing (again). Toy Story Mania, a computerized shooting-gallery-style attraction now in previews at Disney s Hollywood Studios, was designed with repeat business in mind, said magineer Chrissie Allen, a producer for the ride. n the new 3-D ride, players launch virtual objects (darts, baseballs, cream pies) toward targets that appear on screens. t makes guests feel as though they ve been shrunk to toy size to play five pint-sized arcade games. The scoring system appears, but a video-game staple known as Easter eggs hidden or secret bonus targets can catapult a player s score. You ll discover things each time you play, Allen said. t gives you a higher level of challenge each time you come back and play. We have team members who haven t found all of them yet, and they ve been riding hundreds of times, she said. We think that s going to be a really big selling point for the ride. ts grand opening was scheduled for May 31. The way we amuse ourselves is in flux, said Niles of Theme Park nsider. The consumer-entertainment model has changed over the past generation from passive entertainment such as movies and TV to more active entertainment like video games and the Web, he said. So it makes sense that the theme-park industry would react to that and start introducing rides that incorporate a little bit more active technology. Universal Studios will tap into the trend of personalized entertainment with a roller coaster set to open next spring. Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit will feature traditional hills and spills but also permit riders to pick their own soundtracks and create music videos of the experience. They ll be able to download those videos for use on their personal Web sites. t really came from the trend in youth culture of being able to customize their world whether it s music selections to what they watch on television to what they carry around with them for entertainment, said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative for Universal Parks & Resorts. t s important, in our thinking, to be able to transform the ride experience to that next generation, really the YouTube generation, he said. Expect more of the same, Niles said. Technology will improve. There s a reason why (video game) Grand Theft Auto V looks, feels, acts and behaves much differently from Pong or Breakout or early-generation video games, Niles said. You re going to see the same type of development within the theme-park industry, he said. don t know if it will happen quite as impressively, quite as quickly as it did with video games. But you re definitely going to see growth and change. A DERENT SPN AT ORLANDO AREA S THEME PARKS Spaceship Earth, Epcot The recent refurbishment of the park s iconic ride includes an onboard survey that is used to create customized animation at the end of the ride.

More than 150 years of history guide every brush stroke by Philip Ward and Linda Croxson as they dab thin lines of paint on walls and ceilings inside one of Mississippi s most famous landmarks. Their canvas is Beauvoir, the retirement estate of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Their task is to restore painted murals that Hurricane Katrina s flood waters nearly erased. Ward and Croxson, a husband-and-wife team of painters, always keep a researcher s dossier within reach. Century-old photographs and color charts in the report show them how to painstakingly duplicate the murals as they originally were painted in t s like trying to copy somebody s handwriting, Ward said. You can do it accurately once. What s hard is doing the same way 10 or 15 times. Applying a fresh but historically accurate coat of paint to the antebellum home is the final phase of a yearlong, 4 million renovation of Beauvoir, mostly paid for by the ederal Emergency Management Agency. The paint job won t be done for at least eight more months, but that wasn t stopping Beauvoir from celebrating its grand reopening June 3, the 200th anniversary of Davis birth, when visitors were to be allowed inside the beachfront house for the first time since Katrina. A popular tourist attraction before Katrina, Beauvoir was one of the few historic structures on Mississippi s Gulf Coast to survive the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane albeit with plenty of bumps and bruises.

All told, roughly 30 percent of the house was gone. Other structures on the 52-acre property, including a guest cottage and gift shop, were a total loss. The storm also washed away about onethird of Beauvoir s artifacts, including some of Davis manuscripts and about 250,000 worth of Confederate currency. f that storm had lasted another hour, don t think we would have had anything left, said Richard orte, Beauvoir s board chairman.

Myers Beach and Marco sland was imported from the same quarry in Wales that supplied some of Beauvoir s original building materials. Heart pine, another original material, was used to replace wooden beams even though it s a rare commodity in the dimensions they needed. Workers used a 19th-century building technique to create interlocking joints for the frame of the house. Randy McCaffrey, an architect, was in charge of making sure that the project adhered to strict guidelines for preserving Beauvoir s history. Our mandate was to maintain as much of the original fabric as possible, McCaffrey said, and believe we ve achieved that. Changes are subtle: Crushed limestone replaced oyster shells on the ground underneath the raised house because the latter was prohibitively expensive.

Beauvoir was built in 1852 and purchased by Davis in 1879, 14 years after the end of the Civil War.

73 MOVES Let s Go! Page 10 The ncredible Hulk By DAVD GERMAN AP MOVE WRTER BEVERLY HLLS, Calif. Mount Olympus never had such a potent gang as Marvel Comics, whose vast pantheon ranges from Hollywood A-lister Spider- Man to the murky shape-shifting process server Ditto. Now producing its own film adaptations for all but a few previously licensed superheroes, Marvel Studios unveils The ncredible Hulk on the heels of blockbuster ron Man, whose 2010 sequel will be followed by an ambitious Marvel lineup. Headlining their own upcoming movies are Norse thunder By COLN COVERT STAR TRBUNE (MNNEAPOLS) Green, lean and mean, The ncredible Hulk is a thrill-oriented reboot of the superhero franchise that should have action fans cheering. Setting aside the ponderous reudian themes of Ang Lee s 2003 Hulk, this installment substitutes momentum for depth and bombastic battle scenes for character development. t lacks the graceful balance of those elements that made ron Man the gold standard for superhero films, but it s a blast for demolition fans. The story begins as the hunt for the Hulk heats up. Bruce Banner is on the run in Brazil, attempting to cure his condition with exotic medicinal plants before he s captured by Gen. Thunderbolt Ross, who wants to use his blood chemistry to create an army of super-soldiers. Director Louis Leterrier (of the high-velocity Transporter films) and cinematographer Peter Menzies make superb use of the mountainside shantytown where Banner has gone to ground. The twisting maze of breakneck steps, narrow alleys and small rooftops becomes the scene of a breakneck, Bourne - worthy pursuit between the fugitive scientist and his would-be captors. The film takes the form of a chase movie as Banner moves north, toward his lost love, Prof. Betty Ross, and a mysterious scientist called Mr. Blue, who has been asking for samples of Banner s gamma-irradiated blood in the search for an antidote. The route he travels allows for eye-catching Hulk battle sequences on a Virginia college campus and across New York City (why is the big climax never in Dubuque?). The film, the second produced with creative control from Marvel Studios, continues the ron Man practice of casting interesting character actors, not movie stars, as the principals. Edward Norton, one of the few American actors of his generation who can stare into a microscope without inspiring laughter, steps easily into the role of Dr. Bruce Banner. n his human form, he s given to nervous, rabbity glances, hoping to locate and outrun danger before he has to fight it. As his longtime antagonist Gen. Ross, William Hurt is a portrait in conflicted power, a man used to issuing orders, yet who can t control his rebellious daughter Betty or use the military might at his command god Thor, super soldier Captain America and bug impersonator Ant-Man, those adventures culminating in 2011 s Marvel allstar tale The Avengers. With an estimated 5,000 characters and a wealth of stories dating back nearly 70 years, Marvel could spin an endless web of big-screen yarns. t s inexhaustible, said Gale Anne Hurd, a producer on The ncredible Hulk and Ang Lee s critically drubbed 2003 take on the character, Hulk. What love is, Marvel is now controlling Marvel s destiny. They are the greatest caretakers of the characters and the stories. A scene from "The ncredible Hulk." effectively against the Hulk. Tim Roth, the sultan of sneers, plays Emil Blonsky, a formidable commando on Banner s trail. Blonsky transforms into the Abomination, a bigger, stronger, scarier Hulk, for the final confrontation, a battle of the titans that pulverizes half of Manhattan sland. Roth s motion-captured performance in monster form gives a sense that the Abomination is truly Blonsky in a radically altered state. The only weak link among the cast is Liv Tyler as Betty, who Until ron Man, the company watched big movie studios count their millions on superpowered comic adaptations of Spidey, X-Men, antastic our and other Marvel properties. Marvel made some cash by licensing the characters for films, but it was a pittance compared to what studios hauled in on such billion-dollar franchises. ollowing George Lucas Star Wars formula, Marvel now finances movies itself and hires studios to release them for a fee, Paramount distributing ron Man, Universal releasing The ncredible Hulk. Marvel keeps all of the profits speaks virtually every line in a librarian s whisper. The all-important question, though, is how does the Hulk look? ar better than the green Gumby of the Ang Lee film. Leterrier generally keeps his superhero in shadow, or long shot, or in fast movement, so his mammoth muscles and granite skin texture don t look glaringly artificial. Norton, who co-wrote the film, peppered the script with insider references designed to delight hardcore comics fans while and retains lucrative rights for toys and other merchandise based on the films. The financial upside on a movie like ron Man or ncredible Hulk is multiples of multiples of what we had in the old arrangement, said David Maisel, chairman of Marvel Studios, a division of Marvel Entertainment nc. We have the power to greenlight our movies. We set our schedule. We re not reliant on a third party. A few elite franchises among them Sony s Spider- Man and 20th Century ox s antastic our and X-Men with its upcoming Wolverine June 12-13, UNVERSAL PCTURES holding together a coherent, engrossing story that even those who live outside the Marvel Universe can enjoy. This Hulk may not be a certified smash, but it makes a big impact. THE NCREDBLE HULK 3 stars Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt, Tim Roth Directed by: Louis Leterrier Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence, some frightening sci-fi images, and brief suggestive content. Marvel hopes to turn green to gold with new Hulk spinoff remain under those studios control. That still leaves legions of superheroes for Marvel to put on screen. ron Man was a beloved character among fans but far from a household name to general audiences. The comic-book gods smiled on his movie adaptation, though, as all the ingredients came together to create an instant Hollywood franchise. The manic charm of Robert Downey Jr. made billionaire weapons designer Tony Stark as interesting in a business suit as HULK P12

75 ENTERTANMENT Let s Go! Page 12 By KM COOL EATURES EDTOR Lemon Bay Playhouse is offering a summer-stock experience to children this summer. Three days a week, children, 8 and older, enrolled in the theater s Kids as Thespians program will work on Godspell Junior, to be presented Aug. 16 at the theater on Dearborn in Englewood. Jeff Michaels will direct the show, with the assistance of sabelle Michaels. n summer stock fashion, the campers will particiapte in every aspect of the show s production. Their daily sessions will offer he was inside the metal contraption he builds to fight bad guys. Downey s own stints in rehab added a nice nuance to the movie s boozy Stark. Director Jon avreau struck an ideal balance between action and character development, resulting in one of the bestreviewed entries in the onslaught of comic adaptations. After a nearly 100 million opening weekend in May, ron Man is closing in on 300 million, a mark previously reached only by the Spider-Man flicks among comic-book movies. Though the Hulk was more widely known than ron Man from the comic books and the TV series starring Bill Bixby, no one in Hollywood expects his new movie to put up those kinds of numbers. Previews of this film have been mediocre. The buzz seems to be lacking, said Mike Hickey, an analyst who follows Marvel for Janco Partners. The Hulk has been a problem child on the big-screen. The 2003 version, which starred Eric Bana as scientist Bruce Banner and featured a cartoonish Hulk hopping around in the desert, opened with a whopping 62.1 million weekend, then a record for June debuts. But word of mouth was bad, experience in vocal warming up, audition preparation and such behind-the-scenes lessons as show blocking, direction, technical terms, props and set design. Day one of the camp will feature auditions. The young thespians will learn to audition and then do it that first day. Every camper will have a part in the production, from chorus member to lead. Sessions will be held Monday, Wednesday and riday, beginning with vocal warm-ups at 9 a.m. n addition to pollishing their roles, the young actors will learn other aspects of play production, and the audience quickly dried up, leaving one of Marvel s standard-bearers in Hollywood limbo. t was a noble experiment, think, that first film, but, like much of the audience, left wanting a lot more than what we got, said Kevin eige, Marvel Studios president of production. The new movie is more action-oriented, clocking in at well under two hours, nearly 30 minutes shorter than Lee s dark, ponderous version. As with ron Man, Marvel cast an acclaimed actor, Edward Norton, as Banner, the guy who turns into a not-so-jolly green giant when angry. The story emulates the TV show, with Banner a fugitive, and it gives him real villains to battle, including Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, a soldier transformed into the Hulk s huge nemesis, the Abomination. There is no argument that Marvel s move to finance its own movies has paid off, at least so far. A month after ron Man opened, Marvel Entertainment s stock was trading at an all-time high of about 36 a share. Analysts take a wait-andsee attitude about whether the strategy will work over the long haul. While Marvel plans to make two movies a year, there is a two-year lag before its next releases, ron including the management of backstage support, including scene changing and prop placement. Daily sessions end at 1 p.m. Godspell Junior, originally conceived and directed by John- Michael Tebelak for Broadway, was updated with new music and lyrics by three-time Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, who was in Sarasota recently for the debut of the reworking of the 1978 Broadway show, Working. That show is heading to Broadway later this year. Schwartz, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Gordon Greenberg teamed up to pare down the Man 2 and Thor. The Marvel logo will be in front of audiences with next year s Wolverine from ox and this fall s vigilante thriller Punisher: War Zone from Lionsgate, which retains the rights to that Marvel franchise. A clear benefit Marvel has gained by making its own movies is creative control. Comic-book fans are perpetually wary that Hollywood will mess up their favorite characters. With Marvel calling the shots, fans can rest a little easier that the movies will remain true to their origins. number of characters while plumping up the story. Schwartz created new music and lyrcis for that show, as he did for Godspell Junio. His song, t s An Art, about the life of a wiatress was one of the hits of the reworked show, Working.. Like Godspell, the adaptation also reflects on the life of Jesus and includes clowning, June 12-13, 2008 Lemon Bay Playhouse offering a summer-stock experience HULK, ROM PAGE pantomime, charades, acrobatics, singing, dancing and vaudeville-style numbers.

Using this technique, the constant temperature of 275, which allows the tough connective tissues of the brisket to gently dissolve, results in ultra-tender meat. The classic smoky barbecue flavor is achieved by making a rub for the brisket using Spanish smoked paprika, which is made from peppers that are slowly dried over an oak burning fire. To further help keep the brisket moist during the lengthy cooking time, a bottle of beer is added, and the roasting pan is tightly covered. When the meat is done, the liquid in the pan can be degreased and reduced and used as a sauce. Or some of it can be added to your favorite barbecue sauce to provide a smoky accent. But if there is a movement to break out the grill, try these bacon and Gorgonzola-stuffed cheeseburgers with grilled apple slices are an indulgent treat that require little time and effort. Sealing the cheese inside the burger ensures most of it won t end up melting into the fire. The pungent, sweet flavor of Gorgonzola perfectly complements the smoky bacon and sweet apples, but shredded cheddar or Gouda would be delicious, as well. or the most moist and tender burger, use 85 percent lean ground beef. Also, be sure not to overwork the mixture after adding the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, which greatly enhance the savory qualities of the meat.

82 ROAD TRP June 12-13, 2008 Toy Story ride opens at Disney s Hollywood Studios By KM COOL EATURES EDTOR What s not to love about Mr. Potato Head? The popular toy with many faces is bigger than life in the newest ride at Disney s Hollywood Studios Theme Park over at the Walt Disney Resort. The ride is Toy Story Mania, which opened May 31, and is touted as offering 4-D fun for all. A duplicate ride is set to open June 17 at Disneyland in California. May 14, was at the head of a line of reporters and others allowed to check it out. As if being first in line for a Disney line was not fun in itself, then was able to practically jog through the twists and turns of the ride s entry and up the stairs to step into one of the waiting vehicles but not without stopping for a brief chat with Mr. Potatohead before picking up a pair of special 3-D glasses. Disney magineers added the voice of Don Rickles to the audioanimatronic Mr. Potatohead, which uses technology similar to that of Crush the sea turtle over at Epcot. Thanks to the magineers, you can talk to Mr. Potatohead. He will respond. He will really answer you, actually responding to your questions and comments. Not bad for a 5-foot tall plastic potato! nspired by the two Toy Story films, the ride immerses you in a series of midway games. The cars in which you ride contain two spring-loaded shooters, CALENDAR EXTRA Motorcoach trip to Georgia planned The Burnt Store Presbyterian Church Travel Team has planned a trip from Oct to see historic Savannah and quaint Jekyll sland in Georgia. Highlights of the trip Mr. Potato Head personally greets visitors inside the entrance to the new Toy Story ride in the Hollywood Studios theme part at the Walt Disney World Resort. enabling riders to compete against one another for highest score, while aiming hoops that need to arch gracefully over their targets and balls that knock down various toys, aliens or plates. The hoop thing is a bit of a challenge in that you don t shoot straight at the target but instead have to figure out where to aim in order to score. (t was much easier when put down my camera but couldn t do that until had shot enough photos to go with this story.) include a narrated trolley tour of Savannah, with a visit to one of the historic homes, a river cruise, and a tram tour of Jekyll sland that will provide a glimpse into the lives of some of the nation's 19th century wealthiest citizens like J.P. Morgan and William Rockefeller. As you ride through Andy s toy-filled bedroom, your car spins in various directions while moving you and your traveling companion from one type of game to another as you pile up the points 200,000 seems to be a good goal, judging by the point scores saw at the end of the ride. Although, in a few months, 500,000 might be the target to shoot for, even if that seems like a lofty goal for a shrunken person in a room full of toys running a carnival midway. The trip cost is 589 per person, double occupancy, and includes three nights of accommodations, eight full meals, daily attractions, luggage handling, taxes, gratuities and motorcoach transportation. Locally owned KeRu Motorcoach Company will be coordinating the i4^- Those who play a lot of computer games should do well, and those who like the Randy Newman song, You ve Got a riend in Me should enjoy the music. About that 4-D effect as you are pulling the trigger to release the balls and hoops, expect to feel other balls and hoops pass close by your tram car and, you may want to watch out for a stray water balloon.
