MARIE SELBY BOTANICAL GARDENS’ HISTORIC SPANISH POINT CAMPUS

The past meets the future at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens’ Historic Spanish Point campus. Art meets nature here too. Located in Osprey about seven miles north of Venice, Selby Gardens’ Historic Spanish Point campus is a 30-acre museum and preserve perched on Little Sarasota Bay. The first site in Sarasota County to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it showcases native Florida plants while preserving and interpreting thousands of years of regional history. Visitors can explore several distinct periods of the past as they roam the picturesque campus. The archaeological record shows that ancient peoples made their home here as far back as 5,000 years. In fact, the very land that forms today’s campus was made by human hands! By recycling shells from feasts and constructing a platform on which to build homes and hold ceremonies, the First Floridians who lived here gained safety from storm tides and enjoyed the same bay breezes visitors do today. An exhibit

titled “A Window to the Past” lets you literally look back in time at a cross-section of the shell mound that was built here beginning 2,500 years ago. Moving forward, the site celebrates over 150 years of pioneer heritage dating to homesteaders who settled here in 1867. Visitors may tour a carefully restored 1901 pioneer home, the rehabilitated Mary’s Chapel (with original stainedglass windows and bronze bell), and a reconstructed citrus packinghouse that was a center of local commerce. Next comes the era of Bertha Palmer, a famous Chicago businesswoman and innovator who chose the site as her winter estate in 1910. Palmer preserved the pioneer buildings and connected them to lavish formal gardens and lawns, three of which—the Sunken Garden, Duchene Lawn, and Jungle Walk Garden—can still be enjoyed today. The property’s bountiful plant life has become an even greater focus since Historic Spanish Point was adopted by Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in 2020 as a companion to its Downtown Sarasota campus. More than half of the species of native plants found in Sarasota County can be admired along the nature trails and boardwalks of the Historic Spanish Point campus. New features since the adoption include the region’s only butterfly house, which sits next to the large native butterfly garden. Food service and a campus-tocampus boat tour are also available.

On view through August 31, 2024, Clyde Butcher: Nature Through the Lens features the extraordinary imagery of photographer and conservationist Clyde Butcher throughout the grounds of the Historic Spanish Point campus. Large-scale

prints on aluminum of Butcher’s beautiful photographs of plants, animals, and habitats of Florida are exhibited amid the natural landscape of the 30-acre waterfront preserve, enabling the public to engage with the artist’s work like never before.

Imagine Venice submerged under water and the area infested with sharks! Some larger than any shark known to man today. This was in fact the case millions of years ago, and over time, as the water receded, the prehistoric sharks died. Each creature sheds 20-25 thousand teeth in their lifetime, which became fossilized. Our beaches sit on top of a fossil layer that runs over 30 feet deep. Over time, the fossils slowly emerge into the shallow waters and then up onto the beach by weather and surf.

Now known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, fossil seekers flock to Venice in search of the coveted Megladon ‘Meg’ tooth that was once a part of that fearsomely large shark, some succeed and many leave with memories of adventure and shark teeth from several different, yet smaller, species. Visitors and residents become skilled at sifting for shark teeth through the sand or just strolling the beaches and spotting them in plain sight. Venice and Caspersen beaches are good spots to start, but anywhere south of the Venice Jetty can be the starting point of your shark tooth-hunting journey.

CITY OF VENICE

The City of Venice has always been beautiful and historical, but the Venice of today is also vibrant. Venice features gorgeous, world-class beaches; a thriving downtown with a plethora of unique shops and awesome restaurants for all tastes and budgets; fun nightlife; a wide variety of outdoor activities like golf, fishing and boating, kayaking and paddleboarding, tennis and pickleball; picture-perfect weather; and stunning natural beauty. As designed by world-renowned planner John Nolen in 1926, Venice has more than 30 parks ranging in size from tiny pocket parks, to modern playgrounds, to the beach along the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the more unique spaces include the Brohard Paw Park, where dogs may romp on the sand with their owners; Venetian Waterway Park, where people can bike and hike on a 5-mile stretch along both sides the Intracoastal Waterway; and Centennial Park downtown, where concerts are held in the Gazebo and kids can splash and play in an Interactive

16 I VENICE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I

Children’s Fountain. Tranquil West Blalock Park includes the Monty Andrews Arboretum, where over 80 species of trees and palms are identified with information signs. Venice looks the way it does in large part due to the tireless volunteers with Venice Area Beautification Inc. – VABI for short – who spend countless hours trimming, weeding, planting and watering, helping to ensure the City’s blooming downtown and parks are exceptional. Venice’s history is captured in the Venice Museum on Nassau Street, a fun, educational and free way to spend the afternoon. Exhibits range from fossils found in the area to how the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Kentucky Military Institute, Venice Army Air Base, and Ringling Bros. Circus shaped the City’s story. Don’t forget to visit the museum’s distinctive gift shop, with its unique, one-of-a-kind items. Public art abounds, with colorful murals and sculptures of native wildlife. These beautiful artworks can be found

downtown, on outside walls of local businesses, and in parks. Our “City on the Gulf” boasts 3.5 miles of beach available to the public with free parking. The Venice Fishing Pier and South Jetty are two other popular, scenic locations to take in the area’s turquoise waters and spectacular sunsets. The real estate market is thriving, there are plenty of diverse job opportunities, health care facilities are preeminent, and the schools are some of the best in the state. There are so many events and other activities that happen all year long in the City of Venice that are free to attend, for all ages. The area is perfect for young families, and it’s also ideal for those looking to retire – there are so many amenities for all walks of life.

A time-honored brand. An elevated experience. Nothing Compares. As new listings continue to enter the market, sellers require unique services tailored to their specific needs. Premier Sotheby’s International Realty is a luxury leader in Venice real estate, backed by a powerful marketing program with access to state-of-the-art technology. Rely on your local expert with global reach to showcase your home in its best light, from our gorgeous Gulf beaches to countries around the world.

BEACHES & WATERWAYS The sparkling blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico entice visitors to the many beaches for a variety of activities. You can spend the day boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing or hunting for prehistoric sharks’ teeth, or jogging with your furry buddy. With more than 20 miles of paved trails along the Intracoastal Waterway and several places to rent bicycles, pedaling is a great way to see the area. But at the end of the day, like native Venetians, you’ll want to be at the beach for the captivating sunset.

ARTS &

Entertainment

VENICE THEATRE, A VIBRANT PLACE TO ENJOY GREAT STORIES, WELL PLAYED.

Driving over the north bridge into Venice the first building on your right is Venice Theatre. During the holiday season the theatre’s back wall usually displays a huge wreath covered in festive lights, the Venice Theatre sign welcoming you to a small city that places a big value on the arts. On Sept. 29, 2022, Hurricane Ian’s winds blew down that back wall taking the roof with it. The cultural institution founded in 1950 suffered a serious blow. Its 432-seat Jervey Theatre was rendered uninhabitable. Within 24 hours theatre staff, volunteers, and donors gathered in the back parking lot to view the damage. Looking at stage lights and curtains blowing in the wind, folks cried, hugged, and within minutes, started planning for an uncertain future.

Less than two months later, without its largest stage, Venice Theatre was back to entertaining and educating the community. To keep fulfilling its mission of “making a dramatic impact on all stages of life,” the theatre’s production team constructed a temporary stage in the Raymond Center directly behind the main building. It also reopened the Pinkerton Theatre, the “black box” space inside the main building. The theatre’s popular concert series is being held at the Venice Performing Arts Center and the Venice Community Center. Venice Theatre’s mission involves more than putting on shows. It is committed to training children, teens, and adults in acting, singing, dance, and technical theatre. Short on space, Venice Theatre’s Education and Community Engagement Department

began holding classes again 10 days after the storm with the help of several community partners who donated space. A year after Hurricane Ian, the theatre’s fundraising team has collected four million dollars toward the much larger cost of fully restoring the Jervey Theatre. The organization had insurance for the full value of the building, but skyrocketing materials and construction costs as well as more stringent safety codes have posed major challenges. Those challenges are being met by tremendous staff and board leadership with hearty support from the community. Plans to reopen a new-andimproved Jervey Theatre are underway for the end of 2024.

While the restoration is happening, you are invited to enjoy a wide variety of shows that will, as Artistic Director Benny Sato Ambush says, “fill your hearts, get you laughing, stimulate your minds, and thoughtfully engage you with entertaining, soul-nourishing stories delivered with professional-level excellence at affordable prices.” Support the arts and the restoration of Venice Theatre by seeing shows, donating, and sharing the theatre’s story. Find more information, tickets, and the opportunity to donate at www.venicetheatre.org or by calling 941-488-1115. The theatre campus is located at 140 Tampa Ave. W. in downtown Venice. You can’t miss it!

Where to eat in

NO NEED TO FLY ACROSS THE POND! Fancy some authentic English fare, mate? No need to fly across the pond, we have you covered right here at the British Open Pub! The British Open Pub is a neighborhood gem that continues to grow in popularity for its satisfying, savory cuisine and cozy atmosphere. Not to mention first class service. Traditionally, the Public House (better known as the Pub) has been an inviting place to gather, chat and enjoy spending time with people from the community. And enjoy a pint or two! Here at the British Open, we strive to continue that ageold custom. The British Open seeks to recreate the hospitality and character of an English village pub. Where patrons are not just customers; they are very special guests and friends. The Pub’s warm tones and hearty, rustic finishes create a quaint, cozy ambiance where the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. With the Pub’s new catering services and food truck, guests can now bring this hospitality home for any celebration or function.

There is always something going on at the British Open! Maybe you’ll want to join in the light-hearted, competitive banter during the weekly Monday Night Team Trivia. Well-behaved four-legged friends are welcome daily on our garden patio and can meet up with their friends on the occasional Saturday afternoon “Yappy Hours.” Raise a glass, and the banter, as you learn a little something at our Whiskey Club in The Library on the second Wednesday every month. Patrons can also enjoy live music on both Friday and Saturday nights. The British Open Pub’s “Parking Lot Parties” are events you do not want to miss! Complete with huge tents, great entertainment and signature food and drinks, things get lively throughout the year. Our annual St. Patty’s Day bash, with Irish dancing, lively Celtic music, and savory corned beef and cabbage is an annual tradition that continues to grow larger each year. LOCALSfest, held in November, is another favorite that features local bands and beverages!

All of the fun and camaraderie are the perfect accompaniment to quality comfort food for a fair price. Fish and chips is the perennial favorite, with the surprisingly delicious chicken and chips coming in a close second. Preserving original British recipes, bangers and mash, homemade pasties, and scrumptious cottage pies are also available. In addition to the extensive pub fare offerings, chef’s specials are also featured on a rotating basis. The British Open’s full-service bar offers one of the area’s largest selections of Import & Craft beers and whiskey from across the globe. Explore over 300 quality whiskeys from America, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and Germany or one of 20 rotating draught beers from around the world. Whether you stop in to enjoy a brew or to dine on some savory fare, visit the British Open Pub, and you’re sure to find something that deliciously strikes your fancy!

DOGGY D N NG Many restaurants in our greater area welcome leashed dogs to dine with their owners al fresco. On Florida’s sunny Gulf Coast, there’s plenty of patio space. Before you and your four-legged family member head out to dine, call ahead to make sure they’re dog friendly. Remember, Venice gets lots

of sunshine, especially during the summer. Keep your pet cool by carrying bottled H2O and a travel water dish for your pup at all times. Notice pavement heat — if it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for Fido’s, too. Never leave a pet in a vehicle in Florida. venicechamber.com I 81

But what really matters lies behind it. And we’re not talking about the stainless steel, state-of-the-art surgical suites, equipped for both robotic

and minimally invasive capabilities. Or the 110 private patient suites, designed for comfort and efficiency in providing the full array of hospital services. Or the 24/7 Emergency Care Center, or the Primary Stroke Center or the comprehensive labor, delivery and post-partum unit where every mother is a VIP. We’re talking about the hundreds of physicians and nurses and healthcare professionals who devote their lives to delivering the best possible care to each of their patients. And who do it with compassion and courage, every day. Because what sets Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Venice apart, and what really matters when it comes to community healthcare, is the healthcare community itself.

We know taking care of your health is of paramount importance, and the Venice area has the healthcare professionals and facilities to keep you in tip top shape. 2600 Laurel Rd. E., North Venice, FL 34275 (941) 261-9000 ı smhvenice.com 82 I VENICE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I

IMPORTANCE OF SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen contains “filters,” better known as a sun protection factor or SPF, that absorb or reflect the radiation in ultraviolet light. SPF in sunscreen measures its ability to protect against sunburn. While all individuals are subject to the dangers of UV radiation and will benefit from sunscreen use, those with fair or lighter skin are most susceptible to dangerous sun damage and should prioritize the regular application of sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing sunscreen products with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreens must be applied liberally and repeatedly to sun-exposed areas to provide the most effective protection.

SUN SAFETY & SKIN CANCER PREVENTION Written by Blessy Mathew Jacob, MD Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute Venice Area Chamber Member

Older adults, people who are fair-skinned or those with a lot of freckles and moles are generally at greater risk of skin cancer. While many skin cancers are highly treatable, if you notice anything suspicious on your skin, you should report it to your general practitioner. Here is an easy way to recognize if a mole

or other skin lesion may be cancerous – remember the ABCs of skin cancer: Asymmetry: one half of the mole doesn’t match the other Border: is irregular Color: is not uniform Diameter: greater than 6 mm (about the size of a pencil eraser) Evolving: size, shape or color changes

Caring for patients at three convenient locations in Venice and Englewood.

PROTECTING YOUR SKIN WITH PROPER CLOTHING

Sunlight is essential to ensure we receive adequate vitamin D, and it has beneficial effects on our mood. Still, ultraviolet radiation (from the sun’s rays, also known as UV rays) can damage our skin and lead to skin cancer. According to the National Library of Medicine, the incidence of melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer, is increasing faster than most cancers in the U.S. – with a 320% jump in diagnoses between 1975 and 2018.

Wearing protective clothes is also essential for sun protection. The degree of protection provided by clothes is defined by the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). The categories of UPF range from 15-24 as “good protection,” 25-39 as “very good protection,” and 40-50 for “excellent protection”. Loose-fitting, light-colored, longsleeve shirts and pants made from breathable fabrics (like cotton) are acceptable options when in the sun and wanting to stay cool but also protect the skin.

A CLOSER LOOK AT SUNGLASSES

Many people consider sunglasses a stylish accessory. They are, in fact, an important part of UV safety protection. UV rays can damage our eyes as well as skin and even contribute to cataracts. While the standard pair of sunnies is designed to block rays from entering the front of our eyes, sunlight enters from all areas. To help protect your eyes, invest in quality sunglasses with polarized lenses. These contain a special filter that blocks reflected light to cut harmful glare and haze. So, before you head out, remember this simple formula: Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap -- Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on a quality pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes!

State College of Florida, ManateeSarasota (SCF) is constructing a transformative science facility at SCF Venice. The new 8,913-square-foot Science and Technology Building will open new opportunities for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in Sarasota County, Charlotte County and the surrounding region. Undertaking such a monumental project required buy-in locally and at the state level. Recognizing the need for workforceready graduates in STEM fields, the Florida Legislature appropriated $2.9 million in 2021 and $1.09 million in 2022 to support the project. The local community provided the remaining support for the project that exceeded $5 million. Located off U.S. 41, near the Wellen Park neighborhood and CoolToday Park, the Atlanta Braves Spring Training facility, SCF Venice is close to a large population of high school students and working adults. Every student at SCF Venice will experience benefits from the new building.

When it opens in Spring 2024, the Science and Technology Building will include laboratory space for an additional 100 students, allowing for a diverse schedule of required classes and electives offered at flexible times to accommodate students’ busy lives and commitments. Assembling top-notch STEM facilities requires more than just spacious labs, vibrant classrooms and functional offices. The new structure will feature those important spaces for students, but the essential equipment incudes tools like the Bunsen burner, biosafety storage cabinet, Sterilmatic® sterilizer, Isotemp™ water bath, and gravity convection incubator. Many of the facilities and tools planned for Venice are already in use at SCF Bradenton, where a significant remodel and expansion of the campus science facilities concluded in 2021. Students are doing important scientific research, like studying new sources of antibiotics and publishing discoveries in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database, known as GenBank®. These students will go on to hold a range of careers, including nurses, lab managers, engineers, chemists, and sometimes even adjunct or full-time instructors who educate the next generation. SCF was founded in Bradenton in 1957, and SCF Venice opened in 1985,

providing a scenic 100-acre campus to meet the community higher education and workforce needs of Sarasota and Charlotte counties. The College has been responsive to the changing needs of the state and local economy over the last 65 years, with STEM classes serving as a critical component of bolstering nursing education, manufacturing degrees, dual enrollment opportunities for high school students, an honors program, and the Gator Engineering partnership with the University of Florida. The new Science and Technology Building will also be an important resource for the SCF Collegiate School in Venice, which prepares students in grades nine to 12 to graduate high school with a diploma and an associate degree. To learn more about SCF’s efforts to improve STEM facilities and increase student opportunities, contact Robyn Bell at 941-752-5316 or BellR@SCF.edu.
