sand squeeze By Alex Mahadevan | News Editor

Sand sculpting events coincide The Siesta Key Crystal Classic Master Sand Sculpting Competition is up against another sand-sculpting event the same weekend. But reality TV stars could help build hype.

When Rusty Croft wriggled into the jaws of the giant beast, a crowd gathered around its jutting teeth, ready to spring into action if the unthinkable happened — the sand that composed the hulking fish sculpture collapsed.

The frightening denizen, a sand sculpture crafted by Croft and Chris Guinto, won second place at the 2011 Siesta Key Crystal Classic. This year, the event

that generates $2.5 million in economic impact in Sarasota County faces competition from an overlapping sand-sculpting event in Fort Myers, which has already lured the 2011 champs.

The World Championship of Sand Sculpting will be held starting Nov. 6 through the weekend on Fort Myers Beach; the Crystal Classic is slated for the weekend of Nov. 9.

The problem, explains master sand sculptor and Crystal Classic organizer Brian Wigelsworth, is that there’s a tight window for fall sand-sculpting events. There is usually a three-week span between the end of sea-turtle nesting season, hurricane season, and Thanksgiving weekend.

Sculptors, many of whom come from around the world, are not likely to travel during that week-

end, says Wigelsworth.

That ideal period is two weeks in 2012, making the overlap nearly inevitable. This year, Fort Myers sand-competition organizers invited Dan Belch and Karen Fralich, the duo that won first place at last year’s Crystal Classic, to Fort Myers before Crystal Classic organizers could invite them

LURE WELCOME By Alex Mahadevan | News Editor Mallory Gnaegy

Scott Dolan, owner of Big Water Fish Market, stands behind the counter at his six-month-old store. During the recent tourist season, he shelled out 65 pounds of fish per day.

Big Water gets big boost from tourists Scott Dolan went from owning and managing the clubhouse at Bobby Jones Golf Course to owning the only fish market on Siesta Key. It was a coincidence that Scott Dolan happened to open Big Water Fish Market exactly at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, 2011. The date was planned, but the entrepreneur had to open an hour late because of a tardy fish delivery.

Now, six months into his ten-

ure as the owner of the Siesta Key store, the fish monger prepares for the dog days of summer during which Siesta sees fewer tourists. But after running out of food last week at a delayed ribboncutting ceremony sponsored by the Siesta Key Chamber of Com-

merce, Dolan thinks he has made his mark with the local community and hopes for its support through the next months.

Dolan has been vacationing on Siesta Key since his youth, which he spent in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Brian Wigelsworth, shown here at the drafting table in his studio on Big Pass Lane, only draws plans for sand sculptures when working with a partner. On his own, Wigelsworth shapes his works by memory.

EVENTS / FROM 1A back.

There is another overlap between the Crystal Classic and the Fort Myers competition. Bill Knight, a master sand sculptor and owner of Fort Myers-based Sand Lovers LLC, was also cofounder of Wigelsworth’s company, Sand Lubbers. The latter firm was contracted to help organize the Crystal Classic in 2011.

Because Knight lives in Fort Myers, he is also a key player in the World Championship of Sand Sculpting. The board of directors of the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce hasn’t yet contacted Knight about the Siesta Key sculpting event, he told the Peli-

‘Zen Garden’

Brian Wigelsworth flips through his portfolio and settles on two pages of sketches and photographs. The sand sculptor must act as architect and contractor to create a competitive work of art. “Zen Garden,” a scene depicting a young Japanese woman kneeling next to a koi pond, started with an idea. Then, he did the staging, a drawing with a view from above the ground to show where each piece of the scene would be. Then he drew a 3D rendering as inspiration for the sculpture. It can take more than 26 hours to finish a sculpture, Wigelsworth says.

can Press in a phone interview.

“The Crystal Classic holds a special place in my heart,” he said.

Knight did not want to discuss reports about a verbal altercation between him and Wigeslworth during last year’s event, but he

said he cut ties with Sand Lubbers earlier this year.

“Brian and I had different business visions and each went our separate way,” he said. “It basically came down to making a smart business decision.”

But, with all seven cast mem-

bers of the Travel Channel reality show, “Sand Masters,” slated to compete in the Crystal Classic, Wigelsworth’s concerns are few.

The picturesque view from his Siesta Key rental that contains one of his sand sculptures doesn’t hurt, either.

Wigelsworth earned his title of master sand sculptor when he won first place in a state sandsculpting competition in Fort Lauderdale; the master sculptor organizers invited him back the following year. That invitation is crucial to add the title of “master” to a sculptor’s name.

“I actually became a master really quickly,” he says. “And a lot of other masters didn’t like that.”

Since then he has juggled sand-sculpting competitions along with work in the corporate world.

“If you want to get noticed at a trade show, there’s nothing better than a sand sculpture,” he says.

With that unique experience, Wigelsworth has proved a treasure for organizers of the Crystal Classic.

“I have the capability of creating master sculptors because I run a master event,” he explains.

“And, if I invite someone to that event, they become a master.”

“There are only about 200 master sculptors in the world, of which I’m one of them, so it’s pretty easy for us to get some good ones,” he said at the June meeting of the Siesta Key Village Association. “Well, for me to get them, anyway.”

Siesta Key Beach being named last year “America’s No. 1 Beach”

by Stephen “Dr. Beach” Leatherman is certainly a perk for attracting sculptors. But, Wigelsworth says when the competition stops, the fun begins for sand sculptors.

“We sit out by the beach with

ukuleles and beers,” he says of the festivities that follow.

Fun times aside, the cooperation between different Sarasota County organizations is the biggest factor in luring star sculptors. Professionals who come to the Crystal Classic are treated like celebrities, Wigelsworth says.

Sponsorships are crucial in helping organizers pay for hotel stays, transportation and meals. With sculptors coming from Europe — seven Crystal Classic contenders are from Holland — competitors can easily end up losing money on an event if they don’t receive sponsorships. They make $1,000 per day at average events, he explains.

Transportation is something that organizers hope to smooth out this year, Wigelsworth said during the SKVA meeting. Last year, shuttles running from Phillippi Estate Park did not make rounds fast enough to keep people from being stuck in the heat, Cheryl Gaddie said at the same meeting. Wigelsworth says the organizers are expecting to add more bus routes this year.

‘We need those little Jetsons things,” Gaddie quipped.

Although the even doesn’t begin until November, preparations are already in motion.

What Wigelsworth says the Crystal Classic needs, especially with the competition from the Fort Myers event, is volunteers and support.

“I think the Crystal Classic has been really key in getting a lot of attention for (Sarasota County), so if you haven’t gotten involved, please get involved any way you can,” he said at the SKVA meeting. “If it’s not through a sponsorship, then we just need helping hands; we need to feed the sculptors.”

Lally backs valet effort in Village The Sarasota County code-enforcement officer defends Siesta Village valet parking against criticism.

Pam Eubanks

David Havill and his wife, Denise, bought Anna’s Deli on Siesta Key in 1998. The couple hosted a soft opening Friday, June 15 for the restaurant’s new location in Manatee County.

Parking problems push another out of the Village Anna’s Deli, a Siesta Key sandwich shop open since 1971, closed its Siesta Key Village location after scarce parking led to losses.

If there is anyone on Siesta Key who believes in destiny, it’s David Havill. The purchase of his restaurant, Anna’s Deli, was serendipitous. And, it resulted in his 2002 marriage to Denise, on the white sands of Siesta Key Beach.

But, fate doesn’t always bring sunshine, and after 15 years of operating the sandwich shop in Siesta Key Village, the 66-year-old said he succumbed to the parking pressures Village merchants face and closed that location May 29.

The scarcity of parking in the Village hurt the eatery in particular, Havill says, because laws allowing 24-hour parking in Sarasota County led to beachgoers occupying spaces during the restaurant’s short hours: 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. One of the perks that drove Havill to take over Anna’s in 1998 was the hours that allowed the proprietor to flip over the open sign and hit the beach before sunset.

In fact, Havill was headed for an early retirement after 40 years in the corporate restaurant world. He helped market Florida franchise concepts, such as Miami Subs and Kenny Rogers Roaster, to the upper Midwest. He was a vice president of a major food group before ending his climb up the corporate ladder. He certainly didn’t expect to find himself back in the food business — albeit this time as an entrepreneur promoting sandwiches.

But the bread and meat beckoned when he bit into an Anna’s Deli pastrami sandwich during his first visit to Siesta Key in 1996.

“I was looking out into the Gulf of Mexico, eating a sandwich,” he says. “And I thought, ‘This is what it’s all about: quality of life.’”

On a subsequent visit, after turning down an offer to work in commercial real estate, he told a Siesta Key RE/MAX agent to tip him off about any businessbuying opportunities.

Havill was in luck; Anna’s was listed, privately, for sale. And, after more than a year of paperwork, he became the owner of Anna’s Deli and Anna’s II, which is on

David Havill said the new restaurant will serve as a prototype. the south part of Siesta Key. He brought Denise Havill, who was not his wife at the time, in on the deal, and the two were married on May 18, 2002. They met in 1990 while working at Bloomington, Ind.-based Huse Food Group, said Dave Havill’s daughter, Ashley Paynter. “She was the best food operator I had ever worked with,” Havill said.

Working in a restaurant together proved to the couple they were destined to be together.

“If you can get through that, you can get through anything,” he says.

But, over the years, the couple has struggled to keep the Village location open, even though it was the oldest eatery on Siesta (Anna’s II has that honor now). Havill noted that it was particularly frustrating because he has a great product; the shop was voted “Best Sandwich” by several area magazines, but parking was so scarce people couldn’t get to it.

“For a lunch-only store like us, it absolutely crucified us,” he says.

But, once again, fate graced the Havills when a member of the Benderson fam-

ily, the family behind Benderson Development Co. LLC, phoned Havill to coax him into relocating the deli to a development on University Parkway near I-75. He hadn’t been in that area in years and was skeptical about opening a store there. But, after seeing the burgeoning business scene, characterized now by neighbors ScoopDaddy’s and World of Beer, he made the decision to expand the concept to the Manatee County development.

“We have our own parking and Sarasota County can’t take it away,” he says with a smile, sitting at a back-of-the-restaurant table delivered June 19.

In fact, after his daughter turned down a position with Pier 1 Imports and dedicated herself to the family’s sandwiches, he even sees the opportunity for creating a new franchise concept.

“This store is the prototype model,” he says.

One thing Havill couldn’t accomplish at the Village eatery was to serve his meat hot. Fire codes and space restrictions prevented steaming pastrami and corned beef from the menu, but he’s delighted to bring the idea to the new location.

But Havill says he will miss the camaraderie of Village restaurant owners.

“I did slow down my involvement (with the Siesta Key Village Association),” he says. “But that is a great organization that knows how to do business in the Village.”

A customer from his early days slinging “Surfer Sandwiches” — Anna’s signature sandwich — brought in his family after noticing the new restaurant.

“That fella wasn’t more than 15 when I met him,” Havill recalls.

“People come in who have been eating Anna’s (sandwiches) for years, and we haven’t changed much,” he says. “When someone starts saying ,‘We used to do this’ or ‘We used to do that,’ I just look at (32-year employee Pat Salerno) and she shakes her head.”

Chris Brown is fighting to resolve the parking quagmire that has plagued Siesta Key Village. But, some say his decision four years ago to offer valet parking to customers at his Village restaurants clogs scarce Siesta roads and diverts profit from public infrastructure.

Joe Volpe, member of the Siesta Key Association board of directors and chairman of the Publicity Committee, questioned the legality of the valet practice in an April email to Sarasota County commissioners. During the June 7 monthly SKA meeting, he brought up the issue, as well.

Brown pays the valet company for the signage, an umbrella and cones, and the valet parkers work for tips. In addition to the cost of valet parking, Brown has to lease the valet parking spaces in front of the Broken Egg. Siesta Key code-enforcement officer John Lally said: “They can stack them (cars) in there. Sometimes at the Broken Egg they can get 18 or 20 spaces in a space where there are normally only two or three.”

“There (was) not really anything being done to create more parking or relieve the situation,” Lally said.

“It was a disaster before I started valet,” Brown said. Because the cars parked in valet spaces are monitored, it makes people who want to visit the Village feel safer, Brown said. “Overall, it gives a feeling of control.”

Also, because valet eyes are on cars of those who use their service, pizza boxes and beer bottles are less common near the valet station at the intersection of Canal Road and Columbus Boulevard.

However, at the June 7 meeting, Volpe, one of the organization’s directors, said his concern was that valet parking amplifies traffic.

Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office deputies have been citing cabs in Siesta Key Village for stopping to load or unload customers in the right of way, which is a necessity for valet parkers to do during busy hours.

Lally said this doesn’t apply to valet parking, however.

“The way the ordinance is written, it allows (valet parking employees) to queue in the right of way,” Lally said.

“Any time you become a destination, there are going to be legitimate traffic concerns,” Brown said. “You just have to manage them the best that you can.”

“We’ve got people coming out here all the time and the beach parking overflow has them parking in people’s lawns,” Lally explained. “It’s good to see someone trying to make a difference.”

+ Procurement head resigns Mike Thiele resigned Tuesday after nearly 10 months as Sarasota County procurement official, stated a news release from Sarasota County.

Thiele was appointed as head of the purchasing department Aug. 29, months after a four-year procurement scandal came to light resulting in 10 Sarasota County employees losing their jobs.

Deputy County Administrator Bill Little will double as interim procurement official while the county searches for a new purchasing department leader. Little did the same before the county hired Thiele.

“The staff change emphasizes the county’s commitment to additional integrity and transparency in the procurement operation, along with the need to institute, enforce and follow the new professional procurement process being implemented by the county,” County Administrator Randall Reid said in the release.

vexing vote By Alex Mahadevan | News Editor

Supervisor Dent responds to voter frustration The Sarasota County supervisor of elections took questions from the public at the June 13 forum.

The Green Room at Twin Lakes Park was packed with poll workers June 13, as the public learned about changes in precincts and polling places in a Town Hall presentation given by Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent.

Dent, speaking without the assistance of a microphone to a crowd of more than 100, gave a brief presentation on the new precinct numbers and explained the impetus behind reducing the number of precincts from 156 to 98 and polling places from 127 to 85.

Staff from the office of the Supervisor of Elections had laptops set up to help attendees glean where their polling location is, but a majority of the forum was dedicated to fighting criticism about voter disenfranchisement.

“How many polling places did they close on Longboat Key, Siesta Key and St. Armands Circle?” asked one retired attendee, raising the question regarding voting in affluent communities.

“Well, it would have been hard to close any on Longboat since we only have one,” Dent responded.

She went on to lament the media coverage of negative attitudes regarding reprecincting, saying the arguments about voter disenfranchisement were not LBK - 2010 -K the view the majority.

LBK - of 2010 -K “Sir, are you a poll worker?” one poll worker asked. “The reason I’m asking is because the

Alex Mahadevan

Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent answers questions about the new precincts and polling location changes. poll workers can handle it, this is not a problem.”

Dent says although the timing of the repricincting may have been inconvenient and she would have hoped for more public input prior to taking the issue to the Sarasota County Commission, but Florida was the secondto-last state to have its congressional state lines approved.

After that approval, which happened April 30, Dent had eight days to get the revised precinct data to the Sarasota County Commission.

Commissioners had two weeks to review the new

precinct and polling location data before the May 22 regular meeting, in which they voted to approve the changes.

“We were in a (time) crunch and, unfortunately, that’s just the way it was,” Dent said, noting that the office budget supported only a few members of her staff to work on reprecincting.

Antoine Henry, the geographic information systems administrator for the Supervisor of Elections, received a round of applause after an introduction from Dent.

Dent used the Town Hall meet-

ing as an opportunity to encourage early and absentee voting, as well as dispel rumors.

“In November, we’re going to have 11 constitutional amendments on the ballot,” she said.

“I’ve got a husband who’s an attorney and daughter who’s an attorney, and I consider myself fairly bright, but we’re going to have to sit down and have a powwow as to what these amendments actually say.”

Voters are allowed to bring marked sample ballots, which will be sent out to every eligible voter this summer.

Dent explained that during the last two primaries only 27% of eligible voters came to polling places on Election Day. “Please don’t be insulted if you don’t work the primary,” Dent told the audience. “That’s one of the things we’ve tried to do in this economic climate: save money where we can.”

Following Gov. Rick Scott’s recent push to purge illegal voters, Town Hall attendees also questioned Dent about the number of non-U.S. citizens voting in Sarasota County. Sarasota County was given a list of 14 voters who are possible non-U.S. citizens.

But, there is little Dent’s office can do other than send letters asking for proof of citizenship.

“I can’t take someone off (the list of eligible voters) just because they don’t respond (to a letter),” she said. “And, more

than likely they’re not in Sarasota County anymore.”

“None of us likes change, but this is the time we had to do this because of all the other changes that were handed to us,” Dent said. “And, I might add, handed to us at the last minute.”

And, the Sarasota County School Board proved elected officials can listen to constituents when they applauded the design, despite its estimated $30.5 million price tag.

The cost forecast, which is $4 million more than what was previously earmarked for the project, could vary as the timeline of construction is set and building begins, said Sarasota County School District COO Scott Lempe at a Monday, June 19, School Board work session.

“It’s unfair this early in a project to ask a general contractor to estimate the cost of doing work,” he said. “We don’t even have schematics yet, so it’s awful early in the project.”

However, the earliest a timeline for the renovation would be available is the end of summer, Lempe explained.

“What are we doing about the feces problem?” asked School Board member Caroline Zucker. The chairwoman was referring to a problem with squirrel and bird droppings plaguing some hallways in the renovation area. “It’s so vivid in my mind from the visit last month. And that’s not a good thing to have in my mind’s eye.”

Data cables and wiring that line the top of some of the hallways are to blame, said Lempe.

“It’s mostly the birds,” he said. “The birds and squirrels, it gives them a place to hang out.”

The redesign would remove many of the hanging fixtures, taking away a resting place for animals.

Zucker was also concerned about the loss of parking spaces near the Sarasota Sailor Circus, which she counted to be 50 after analyzing the public design choice.

Lemke and the Harvard Jolly Inc. architect who presented at the design charrette did not know how many spaces were being lost through construction.

Lemke said concerns voiced by the public about School Avenue, which cuts through the middle of the SHS campus, will be considered, saying he’s committed to keeping the conversation about the road open. Orange Avenue, which streaks through Booker High School, was rerouted around the campus. A representative from the Alta Vista Homeowners Association said rerouting School Avenue could be in residents’ best interest, despite concerns about creating traffic congestion.

Lempe is now trying to get a spot on the agenda of the association’s Thursday, June 28 meeting.

“I’m very concerned about School Avenue,” said Jane Goodwin, School Board member. “It’s been on my radar for a while.”

efficient math Sarasota County middle-school math classes are this year getting a lesson in efficient use of resources.

Sarasota County has tweaked its middle-school model to save money and better teach mathematics to students.

Traditionally, middle schools operate in a team structure with students separated into small annual groups that have one teacher from each discipline.

During budget talks at the Monday, June 19 monthly work session, Sarasota County School Board Chairwoman Caroline Zucker raised questions about the number of middle-school math teachers decreasing.

Superintendant Lori White said the new model breaks math teachers away from the team structure and allows for more efficient delivery of leveled math lessons.

“Yes, we have bent the rules,” she said, “but it’s always been about what’s best for the students as a balance.”

All of the School Board members praised Dan Bailey, a land-use attorney and emcee of the design charrette, for his leadership during the public forum.

Lempe noted on the second day Bailey only had to say, “Don’t make me blow this whistle,” to bring order to the crowded conference room.

“You can move mountains just by the fact of who you are,” Zucker said to Bailey, who was in the audience during the work session.

Board members volleyed compliments to stakeholders in the project, but there were still concerns about the lack of tennis courts in the rebuild.

“You can only stuff so much stuff in a 70-pound bag, and you can only do so much with this 60-acre bag,” Lempe said.

However, he did say he would undertake a feasibility study about the potential for tennis courts.

Tandem Construction, the general contractor for the project, provided the early cost estimate, which would require the board to increase the district budget by $4 million. However, all of the designs at the charrette would have required at least $2 million more than the already $26.5 million in the coffer for the project.

“There are competing projects for this money,” Lempe said. “But, the bottom line is that the capital budget can support it.”

The board ended the topic with thanks to Lempe.

“It seems like every time we have a hard decision to make, you take it away from us,” Brown said. “I guess I should say you’re just making my job too darn easy.”

opinion | our view

A way to improve City Hall Everyone who watches the machinations at Sarasota City Hall knows it is a dysfunctional organization.

There are numerous reasons for that — people and their egos, personalities, abilities and agendas all fueling the dysfunction. But much of this malfunction is rooted in the way the city government is structured.

Just look at the accompanying organizational chart that Sarasota City Commissioner Terry Turner recently produced.

You don’t have to be a political science Ph.D. to recognize this structure is a recipe for guaranteed strife, power struggles, conspiracies and inefficiencies — all at the expense of taxpayers.

Why, pray tell, does it make sense to have the city’s public information officer (PIO) reporting to the auditor/clerk? It makes no sense at all. Likewise with information technology and, for that matter, pension administration.

What this structure has produced is the colossally unproductive struggles between Sarasota’s city manager and auditor/clerk.

Before former City Manager Bob Bartolotta resigned, taxpayers heard daily about the strife that went on between his side of the organizational chart and that of Auditor/ Clerk Pam Nadalini. Indeed, it ultimately led to Bartolotta’s departure.

Before that, there were conflicts that occurred between former City Manager Mike McNees and longtime Auditor/Clerk Billy Robinson. And, to make matters worse, past

crafted a proposal to amend the city charter. He is seeking voter approval to split the auditor/city clerk position into two positions — an auditor who remains a charter officer appointed by the City Commission and a separate city clerk who would fall under the supervision of the city manager.

All of those boxes below the “Audit” box in the organizational chart would shift under the city manager.

This makes a lot of sense. And while Turner’s proposal falls short of the one we would prefer — a charter amendment for an elected, CEO mayor — it, nonetheless, would provide an organizational framework that would improve the operations and management of the city’s affairs.

Some Sarasotans have defended the current structure as a way to create checks and balances and avoid annointing the city manager with too much power. To them, we would ask: How is that working for you?

If the next city manager is to have a chance at succeeding, this charter proposal would give him that opportunity. We would urge voters to sign the petition. Put the question on the ballot. and present city commissioners fueled this cesspool of gossip and accusations by showing their favoritism to one or the other office.

Talk about an un-fun place to work.

Commissioner Turner has had enough.

In an effort to eliminate this strife and organizational dysfunction, Turner has

my VIEW

Leaders in police talks must lead “Leadership is about causing two divergent points of view to realize there is value in meeting in the middle.”

I wrote that after I read that the latest city offer to the Sarasota Police Benevolent Association was unanimously rejected. The negotiations have been ongoing for about two years, and based on the last session, they are probably no further along than when they commenced.

I have no idea how these negotiations have been carried out, what is or isn’t sacrosanct or what moving parts may Dorfman be negotiable. One thing is sure, though: There is an increasing recognition that Sarasota cannot continue to offer the generous benefits that police officers enjoy without them eventually bankrupting the city. Some may even say that time is closer than we think.

It is difficult not to stand up for cops and teachers in the court of public opinion. But that court is quickly losing its hold on the public psyche.

In San Diego and San Jose, Calif., voters passed initiatives that required publicpension employees to contribute more to

their plans and steered new employees into 401(k)-style retirement programs.

Most recently in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker modified the collective bargaining agreements for public-employee unions, a grossly unpopular move for many. But the majority realized his leadership was necessary, and he survived an unprecedented recall vote. The majority recognized that the obligation to the unions was just too rich.

The public’s perception was that they had, in fact, begun to work for their public employees rather than the other way around.

In Sarasota, pensions account for about 6% of the annual budget, with this figure expected to balloon to more than 14% by 2014. Our city’s unfunded pension obligation is estimated to be between $272 million to $402 million, depending on which investment-return estimates you utilize.

In many cities countrywide, long-term planning is in limbo because no one can predict what the pension and investment funds’ returns will be or how long pensioned employees and their survivors may live.

Now that the public realizes its way of life is being adversely affected by the those who are meant to serve their interests, then trust is broken.

This brings me back to leadership. We

THE CASTAWAY by Jorge Blanco

have two divergent points of view involved in the current negotiations between the city and the PBA. This is not surprising.

In most negotiations, one side wants to extract the most while the other wants to sacrifice the least.

But this is different. This is about people’s lives — on all sides. We need our police to protect and maintain our society. Likewise, the police want to ensure their own lives and those of their families. Hence it is now down to the leaders on either side of the negotiating table.

There are things the city can no longer do. There are also points that are likely sacrosanct to the PBA. The job of the respective leaders is to identify the realities and cause their constituencies to realize this is as good as it’s going to get, or there will be no “get” to be had.

There cannot be heroes in these negotiations, only survivors. The time to get it done is now. With a new city manager to be hired next month and our chief of police retiring in the fall, the city has important issues to deal with over a compressed period.

It is time to assess the realities both sides are dealing with and make the best deal we can — for everyone.

MARKET / FROM 1A

Taking advantage of absentee ballots

background was steeped in fish.

He nearly merged his restaurant know-how and preference for the island in 2010 when he was negotiating with a land owner for the south Siesta property previously occupied by Juice ’N’ More.

But after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, he abandoned the idea.

“I knew it just didn’t feel right,” he says.

Time seems to have healed the Gulf Coast waters and put downward pressure on the same unoccupied space, making last year the ideal time for Dolan to dive into the local fish-market business. But Dolan has found that the fresh-fish business has changed since his time with New Yorker Deli in the early 1990s, which he took over while attending Valdosta State University.

“People used to think that seafood was healthy and wanted to eat as much of it as they could,” he says, sitting on one of the couches along the wall of his store. “Now, people are worried about mercury in the waters and want to know where a fish was caught or if it was farm-raised.”

That’s the niche Big Water occupies. When Dolan buys his products, a majority of which come from local fisherman, he asks where and when each type of fish was caught. He can then relay that information to his customers.

“When somebody buys fish from Publix, it’s out of convenience,” he says.

Dolan is reticent about facing his first off-season on Siesta Key. “I’m stoked for the next tourist season; it can’t come soon

Thanks to absentee balloting, the County Election Commission is actually making it easier to vote. Times are changing. A great percentage of banking is done online. Newspapers are read online. People are giving up phones that have land-based lines. Many people have virtual offices and work from home.

Some companies are actually “virtual” in concept.

We, as individuals, can change, too. We may actually prefer absentee balloting. For those of us in Florida, elections are held at the beginning of season. Do we really need an extra spin in our cars? Hopefully, we will discover that there is a higher turnout for elections as a result. There are no excuses. Make that call.

Local tastes

The demand for seafood varies widely according to region, Scott Dolan explains. And the season and the types of fish that are biting can also determine which fish he stocks. Dolan’s favorite fish to eat is wahoo, which has a consistency similar to bluefin tuna.

“It’s the only other fish besides tuna you can cook to any temperature,” he says.

This makes it ideal for tartar, sushi or, his favorite, ceviche. Here are the fish that have the Siesta Key folks mouth’s watering: Grouper Snapper Mahi-mahi

enough,” he says.

But, he’s putting in nearly 12 hours a day of work at the market to ensure success. “I did a lot more fishing before I opened this place,” he says. “I did a lot more of a lot of things.”

With that hard work has come strong signs of success. He estimates more than 150 people — many of whom are locals — showed up for samples of his fish at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“I don’t want this to be my market,” Dolan says, “I want this to be our market.” And he is banking on local support to avoid going belly up when things get slow.

“If you don’t buy local,” he says, “then it’s bye-bye local.”

helping hands By Nick Friedman | Community Editor

St. Matthew’s House offers homeless and addicted men a second chance With the help of local churches, such as Siesta Key Chapel, St. Matthew’s House hopes to become self-sustaining.

Kyle Beiner is the last person one would expect to struggle with addiction. After high school, he joined the Marines and eventually became a sheriff’s deputy at the Collier County Sheriff’s Office in Naples. But, after a back surgery in 2003, Beiner became addicted to the prescribed pain medication, and his life began to spiral into addiction.

“I was just out of control,” remembers Beiner. “It cost me my job. I got divorced. I had a great career; I was a violent-crimes detective. By the end, I was holding a sign for minimum wage. I just couldn’t get back on my feet.”

After four, unsuccessful, attempts at a traditional, 28-day rehabilitation program and years of addiction, Beiner was left without options. With nowhere else to go, he decided to check into St. Matthew’s House, a structured recovery program for addicted and homeless men in Naples. The decision was especially tough for Beiner.

“I knew about St. Matthew’s, because I used to drop off people there as a deputy,” he says. “I didn’t want to go. It was right by the sheriff’s office, and I would see a lot of old co-workers. It was very humbling.”

For Beiner, and others strug-

After completing the program, Beiner lends his experience to help others through the recovery process. gling with addiction, finding treatment can be a daunting task. Now that he has successfully completed the program, he brings his experience to the newly opened Sarasota campus, where he works as a director, giving back to the program and helping lead other local men through the recovery process.

After re-branding from a previous recovery program several months ago, St. Matthew’s House has launched in Sarasota under its new name and has adopted the procedures of the Naples location in an effort to best serve Sarasota’s men in need of assistance.

St. Matthew’s offers a free,

faith-based service, in which men typically spend eight months in the two-phase program, during which their recovery is based on building their faith.

Bob Kuck, chairman of the St. Matthew’s board and a member of Siesta Key Chapel, brought the program to the attention of the church, stressing the importance of supporting the program.

St. Matthew’s relies on much of its support from local religious institutions and, among other churches, Siesta Key Chapel has been instrumental in helping the program in its transition to sustainability.

The Rev. Kathi Wiggins, of the chapel, says church members have been volunteering to help St. Matthew’s with bookkeeping, website development and renovating the new campus: a group of duplexes on Altoona Street, which currently houses about 15 men.

“We want to help transition St. Matthew’s into being self-sustaining,” said Wiggins. “When the men come into the church, our members are just wowed by their stories. Once they go through the program, they really are a tremendous asset to the community.”

In the first phase of the program, men who have stopped abusing drugs and alcohol are closely supervised by other men, such as Beiner, who have already completed the program in

Naples, and a lot of emphasis is placed on personal accountability.

“In phase one, the men have to submit to rigorous discipline,” says Kuck. “They’re confined to the campus for a period of time, and they can’t touch alcohol or drugs; and they don’t have access to certain commodities, like cell phones, at first. They have to make a break from their past behaviors and influences.”

After completing phase one, which Kuck says is the most challenging aspect of the program, the men are invited to move on to phase two, in which they have much more freedom. They’re required to get jobs, pay rent and participate in weekly community service, including cooking and serving meals to the homeless.

“There’s a self-serving nature to addiction,” says Kuck. “The service aspect allows them to get away from that by providing them with an opportunity to give back to the community.”

For Beiner, the unique nature of the program was exactly what he needed.

“With traditional rehab, a lot of times they rush you through, and if you don’t have the proper insurance, you can’t always get the help,” says Beiner. “The amount of time that St. Matthew’s gives you makes it easier to get back on your feet. Now, having the opportunity to help others makes my life even better.

It’s very rewarding.”

in the loop By Nick Friedman | Community Editor

Technology improves quality of life for hearing-impaired As more venues become equipped with hearing loop systems, the 110,000 area residents who suffer from hearing loss can once again enjoy their favorite sound-related activities.

Getting wired

According to Edward Ogiba, executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of Sarasota, this technology is relatively simple and inexpensive, and he hopes to see more local venues take advantage of it.

“It’s already been used in Europe for the last 50 years,” said Ogiba. “We’re just starting to catch up in the United States.”

A typical hearing loop system consists of an amplified sound, which is then directed to a wire, or induction loop, that circles a desired room and broadcasts a magnetic, wireless signal to hearing aids or cochlear implants equipped with a telecoil.

The biggest complaint associated with older, headphone technology and hearing aids is that although the device would amplify the desired sound, it would also amplify the ambient noise in the room. So, the problem wasn’t

volume; it was clarity.

Because the hearing loop system broadcasts the audio signal directly into the hearing aid, users receive an isolated signal with clarity. For the increased quality of life the device offers, it’s relatively affordable. Depending on the venue and complexity of installation, costs start as low as $2,000, and the system requires virtually no maintenance.

“This system is the ultimate for people with these devices,” said Ogiba. “All you need is a device with a T-coil, and almost all of them come with one.”

lette. “You can never improve your hearing to the way it used to be, but this is the single biggest improvement they’ve made for the hearing impaired in many years. I look forward to going more places with a hearing loop.”

The Hearing Loop System works by hooking up an existing microphone and amplifier to an induction loop, which is placed around the perimeter of the theater, meeting room or area where an audience or congregation sits. The magnetic field created by the loop projects the sound directly to a T-Coil, a wireless receiver that acts as a loudspeaker inside a hearing aid. Most hearing aids are equipped with a T-Coil.

For approximately 110,000 people in Sarasota and Manatee counties living with hearing loss, daily activities they once enjoyed can become stressful, and many of them significantly cut back on social interactions. Luckily, with the growing popularity of hearing loop technology, more local establishments are offering these residents a new opportunity to enjoy their favorite sound-related activities.

Last month, Burns Court Cinema became the latest Sarasota establishment to adopt the hearing loop technology, and it’s the first movie theater in the state to do so.

Gallette and his wife returned to see a film in one of the cinema’s two hearing-loop-equipped theaters, and he said, this time, the experience was much more enjoyable.

“It made all the difference in the world with clarity,” said Gal-

Kaitlin Thibodeau and Mary Jane Fortenberry take a break from the water fight.

Children were wild about St. Michael the Archangel’s Summer Bible Camp June 11 through June 15. The camp, called PandaMania, incorporated the theme “God is Wild About You,” and the decorations and activities revolved around wildlife and nature. Campers worked on crafts and donation items, sang songs and had water fights.

athlete of the week By Rachel S. O’Hara | Staff Photographer

ALEX WALTERS

Alex Walters, 17, got into skateboarding when he was 9 years old and has been addicted ever since. Never one for traditional sports, Walters finds skateboarding to be a great way to get outside, have fun and “escape” from everyday life. Walters will be a senior at Booker High School VPA this fall. Walters skates every day at Payne Park during the summer and as often as possible during the school year.

Do you have a favorite trick?

I like blunt to fakie.

Whom do you admire in the skateboarding world?

Tony Hawk. He is the best. He really pioneered modern day vert skating.

What is the best advice you have been given when it comes to skateboarding?

I was never given any advice. But, if I were to give advice, I would say just keep on doing it and don’t be a baby. If you skateboard, you are going to fall.

Rachel S. O’Hara

>> Sports Saying Vert — Vert skateboarding refers to riding a skateboard on a vertical ramp that is larger than a half-pipe. The vert ramp (from the word vertical) allows the skateboarder to fly in the air and perform tricks before landing back on the ramp.

How did you get into skateboarding?

I played soccer for four years and never scored a goal. I started playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater on my PS2. I thought, “You know what? Skateboarding is totally rad.”

With her new line of sailcloth totes, Emily Stroud is hoping to change the way women go to the beach. The up-and-coming designer explains why she bagged her job in the name of fashion.

T

ake a good look at these bags. You’ll start to see a whole lot more of them as we roll into summer.

Take a good look at the lady in pink. You’ll start to see a whole lot more of her, too.

Her name is Emily Stroud. She’s a Sarasota native and mom-about-town, who recently quit her job as a pharmaceutical sales rep to

focus on the launch of Hayden Reis, a new line of beach bags that Stroud named after her 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter.

Made out of sailcloth, the neon totes are bound to be brighter than most of the things in your wardrobe. And, by design, they have the potential to hold just about everything in your house.

>> COVER STORY (continued from page 1) You may have spotted them for sale at some of the swimwear boutiques around town, including the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota gift shop, where they’re selling out thanks to these factors: You can’t miss them, and there’s nothing else like them in stock.

“The women I know like to look good when they go to the beach,” Stroud says. “These bags stand out from the regular L.L.Bean canvas totes. They’re statement pieces.”

That’s an understatement.

Lined with pockets and a wet bag for swimsuits, the bags are a little like Stroud: trendy, confident, practical and suited for the tropics.

A graduate of Riverview High School, the 33-year-old Sarasota native is the quintessential beachgoer.

A member of the Longboat Key Club, she spends every weekend

STROUD’S FAVORITE LABELS 1. Alice + Olivia … “for (designer Stacey Bendet’s) great dresses.”

2. Diane von Furstenberg … “for her wide range of style.”

3. J Brand … “for its awesome jeans.”

4. Lauren Moshi, Wildfox and Rebel Yell … “for their great T-shirts.”

5. Tolani … “for its super comfy dresses I live in all summer.”

with her family at the beach, which explains the tan and why, in addition to her totes, she decided to design a line of bikini bags, sunscreen bags and wristlets.

She’s well aware of the sandy toll the beach takes on your belongings, especially when you’re packing up your kids and their grimy stuff.

“It feels good to not be digging around in the blazing sun looking for sunscreen,” Stroud says.

“I know where my keys are … where my cell phone is. The bags get wet and the water just beads off.”

An East County resident, Stroud decided it was time to make good on her business minor from the University of Florida after she co-chaired last year’s Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser for Forty Carrots Family Center.

Part of the three-day event included a panel discussion with guest designers Diana Kelly, Kande Hall, June Simmons and Lisa Mackey.

Listening to the women’s success stories, Stroud was reminded of her own dream business venture: a line of designer beach bags made out of sailcloth.

She’d sat on the concept for a while but could never find the time or the gumption to carry it out.

“It was motivating to see all these women who had an idea, or a passion or a talent,” Stroud says. “It gave me the guts to quit my job.”

On Jan. 1, Stroud’s company became official, prompting its fearless leader to kick her business plan into high gear.

Despite having no sewing ex-

“I’m getting great feedback from people in the industry,” Emily Stroud says. “I’m being told there’s a market for designer beach bags, especially ones that are so bright, young and funky.” perience and no manufacturer, Stroud, a self-described workaholic, was on a mission. Not only did she want to keep production in the United States, she wanted the bags to be in stores by Memorial Day. “I know,” she says wryly, “I’m nuts.”

The first thing she did was chose Dacron sailcloth as her material. Made out of polyester fibers, the fabric is the sailing industry’s most popular cloth. It’s lightweight, highly durable and virtually water repellent.

As someone who grew up boating in Sarasota, Stroud knew it was the perfect fit for her bags.

To differentiate her brand from other companies that make a similar product, Stroud opted not to use recycled sailcloth.

Next, she hired Sarah Lamar, a graphic designer who runs Saje Design South, a Sarasota-based

company that worked on this year’s Wine, Women & Shoes campaign.

Together they came up with Hayden Reis’ spiky sunshine logo, in addition to 12 other appliqué designs that would appeal to a wide range of women.

In March, she flew to Fort Wayne, Ind., to strike a deal with Vera Bradley’s former manufacturer. When she realized the factory wasn’t equipped to cut out the appliqués, she hired a guy in North Carolina to laser cut the embellishments and ship them to Indiana.

By April, she received her first shipment of totes. “(Opening that first box) far exceeded my wildest dreams,” Stroud says. “I always pondered starting my own business. I just never pulled the trigger on anything. With this, I just hit the ground running. I was really con-

fident it would work.”

It’s working so well, Fitness magazine expressed interest in featuring the bags in its holiday gift guide. In preparation for the exposure, Stroud is designing a line of fall bags with timeless stripes.

“They don’t have to be beach bags,” she says. “I’ve had some women tell me they’d like a diaper bag made out this material, not that you couldn’t use one now as a diaper bag.”

Evidence of the brand’s popularity is being tracked all over the company’s Facebook and Twitter accounts as women reveal in photographs where their Hayden Reis bags have been.

Stroud says she benefits from having a far-flung network of girlfriends with connections to retailers in other cities. Even more important: Some of the connections are to celebrities.

“I have a few people who are close to getting bags,” she says, careful to not drop names. “Definitely some A-listers, but I don’t want to jinx it.”

+ Rocker’s memoir is a love letter to automobiles

HEARD

Now onto a rock star who doesn’t have to dumpster dive …

AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson’s “Rock and Rollers: Tales of Mayhem, Motors and Debauchery” is out in paperback.

The 256-page book reads less like a trashy Hollywood tellall and more like a lovable walk down memory lane.

Or should Courtesy I say Brian Johnson “ride?”

The 64-year-old Sarasota resident is a racecar junkie with a collection of hot wheels that would make any gearhead swoon. As a result, his memoir isn’t a play-by-play of wild parties and drunken hotel shenanigans, it’s an ode to his favorite off-stage passion: automobiles.

In an interview last week with Fox News, the singer revealed that his favorite car is his Rolls Royce Phantom. And, no, he doesn’t have a chauffer.

So, you know what that means. If you see a Rolls Royce Phantom speeding around town, be sure to get out of the way. He doesn’t sing “Highway to Hell” for nothing.

+ The Garbage-Men plan to rock New York City with trash jams Sarasota’s Garbage-Men continue their ascent from trash-pickin’, high school garage band to eco-friendly rock stars, thanks to several new developments: the first being a spot last month on NPR’s “Science Friday” program.

The program got wind of the band after its members — Pine View 10th-graders Ollie Gray, Jack Berry, Harrison Paparatto, Evan Tucker and Austin Siegel — were interviewed on Sarasota’s local NPR station, WUSF. The national buzz couldn’t come at a better time for the group.

The band, which earned even more cred when it played this year’s WMNFsponsored Tropical Heatwave in Tampa, is currently saving its tips so it can tour New York Courtesy photo City next month.

According to guitarEvan Tucker, Jack Berry, Austin Siegel, Ollie Gray and Harrison Paparatto ist Berry, the band has booked gigs at the New York Hall of Science, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the Children’s Museum of the Arts and City of Water Day, a boroughwide festival on Upper New York Bay. And, that’s not all.

The guys have been asked to play Times Square: They’re currently waiting on a performance permit.

“We’re very excited,” Berry says. “Our goal for the band has always been to play in other cities. We thought New York was a good place to start because there are so many people there. It’ll be a good way to spread our message about recycling.”

Talk about knowing your audience.

The Garbage-Men, in case you’re new to the phenomenon, is a five-piece band consisting of instruments built from repurposed garbage (i.e., cereal-box guitars with toothpick frets, an alto saxophone with a balloon reed, a contrabass bugle with a traffic-cone bell, a drum kit with a paint bucket snare, etc.)

The group formed in 2010, prompting a local following of “Garbage Heads” from environmentalists and live-music lovers, alike. They’ve since recorded a CD, appeared in Wired magazine, auditioned for “America’s Got Talent” and competed in the Blue Man Group’s “Invent an Instrument” contest.

Despite all this success, Berry says he still uses a Captain Crunch boxes for his guitars. You’d think by now he’d have upgraded to Kashi.

Theater

Music >> Sarasota’s Big League Festival

>> ‘Das Barbecü’ Florida Studio Theatre’s “Das Barbecü” is a campy, energetic parody of Wagner’s epic opera, “Ring Cycle.” Its central concept is the transformation of the labyrinthine plot of the third cycle, “Gotterdammerung,” into a countryWestern opus set in Texas, a state notable for excess in all things. The musical, with book and lyrics by Jim Luigs and music by Scott Warrender, is loaded with sitcom-style jokes, laced with risqué innuendo and plentiful in song and dance. It was originally commissioned by Speight Jenkins, the general director of the Seattle Opera, to bring some comic relief and to appeal to the audience of buffs attending the city’s “Ring Festival.”

It has since appeared on numerous stages around the country, including Lincoln Center, and perhaps more suitably, Arkansas Repertory Theatre.

The show, directed by Dennis Courtney, is as fast-paced as possible, given that it’s required to sum up an incredibly intricate Wagnerian plot and reduce a cast of 30 down to five incredibly talented and versatile actors. Wotan, the one-eyed god, becomes the horny, wealthy owner of Rancho Gabitch, played by vocally endowed Stephen Hope, who also plays Gunther and Hagen. His wife, wearing a pink Chanel suit and matching boots while gardening, played by Joanna Parson, is as charming as Erda as she is irritating as Fricka. Siegfried (Joshua Carter) rescues Brunhilde (Billie Wildrick) and forthwith complications of the matchmaking variety ensue, ably abetted by

Just as Nik Wallenda was prepping for his breathtaking tightrope walk across Niagra Falls, the Sarasota Music Festival was wowing the audience in the Opera House with an equally exhilarating program of chamber music. The two events had more in common than you’d think.

Most of the musicians at the Opera House — coming from Taiwan, Sichuan, Korea, Vancouver, Auckland and even New York City— were unaware that Wallenda’s home is Sarasota. And much of the audience — currently living here in Sarasota — was unaware that this festival is as important and internationally renowned as the ones in Tanglewood, Aspen and Marlboro.

Wallenda made it across the falls and the startlingly talented performers Friday evening gave us a night that was just as electrifying as his walk. From the opening movement of the Faure G minor piano quartet with Christoher Lim, Rebecca Reale, Danielle Wiebe and Erik Wheeler (students from New England Conservatory and Rice University), and the first movement of Schubert’s G major string quartet, featuring Stella Chen and Rainer Crosett (Harvard), Jennifer Liu (Juilliard) and Aaron Mossburg (Oberlin), to the exuberant finale of Dvorak’s D minor Serenade performed by 11 spectacular young students from Curtis, Oberlin, Juilliard, Eastman, Thornton and other major conservatories, the energizing sense of the future ran rampant through the theater.

The faculty of the festival, the backbone and muscle of this annual international teaching and performing event, did itself proud, too. Janacek’s “Mladi” (“Youth”),

Joshua Carter and Billie Wildrick performed “Das Barbecü” at Seattle’s ACT Theatre and are now starring in Florida Studio Theatre’s production.

Maria Couch as Gutrune.

The country songs range in variety from hoedown, to ballad to conventionally musical. “The Rhinemaiden’s Parody,” in which the three women transform themselves into water ballet dancers, is especially inspired, as is the duet between Wildrick and Couch as they stuff themselves on the wedding banquet.

April Soroko’s costume designs are amusingly hokey, and Rick EastmanMullins’ scenery is suitably rustic. The enjoyable musical direction is by Jeff Halpern, and the lively choreography is by Stephen Hope.

—Paula Atwell

although not quite death-defying, is as much of a spine-tingler as a walk across Niagra Falls with the composer’s jeering, cursing, spitting, wagging and razzing, giving the flute (Carol Wincenc), Christian Steiner oboe (Allan Vogel), Carol Wincenc clarinet (Richard Stoltzman), bass clarinet (Ben Chen — a student at the Cleveland Institute), bassoon (Richard Svoboda) and horn (Gregory Hustis) a workout, even with their worldclass status as eminent musicians.

Students Vincent Meklis (Thornton School of Music) and Mark Baekbum Yee (Manhattan School of Music) joined distinguished faculty members pianist Susan Starr and violist Barbara Westphal for a balanced but occasionally heavy-handed account of Schubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F. It’s hard to find a high point in a program of prominent music played by celebrated musicians, who seemed to reach higher with every work. But, for me, the pinnacle was seeing Artistic Director Robert Levin basking in the glory of his students’ and faculty’s accomplishments from a rear box in the theater through most of the evening and then leaving the comfort of his box seat to reappear seconds later on a Steinway piano bench for a simply spectacular performance of Schumann’s beloved E-flat major piano quintet with colleagues Alexander Kerr, Pamela Frank, Barbara Westphal and Ronald Leonard. Certainly one of my favorite works in the chamber lexicon, this performance was beautifully transparent, well thought out and, in a word, ravishing.

Raw talent

Y

ou’ll probably want to go to Coyne’s Pier 28 for the fresh fish and oysters. I’m here to tell you that you should also go for the art and décor.

Why? Because I didn’t think it was possible for a 60-by-70-foot painting of a crab to look so pretty.

Responsible for the ambience inside this new Sarasota eatery is artist Phallen Coyne, a 28-year-old Baltimore native, who in one whirlwind week created all the art for the inside of her family’s seafood restaurant, which opened June 1 next to the Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.

“It probably should have taken me more than three weeks to do,” Coyne says. “I don’t usually work 20-hour days. We were there from the break of dawn until midnight. It was crazy.”

A graphic designer by trade, Coyne is meticulously detailed and accustomed to meeting tight deadlines, but nothing as high-pressured as churning out colossal paintings and wall typography for a warehouse-sized restaurant.

“When you work like that, you tend to hit a wall after a certain point,” Coyne says. “You do whatever it takes it get it done.”

Coyne apparently works well under stress. Coyne’s Pier 28 has all the charm of a waterfront establishment, minus the view.

She and her husband, 34-year-

old graphic artist Matt Foley, spent long days sorting through junk at local salvage yards, in pursuit of discarded materials that suited the restaurant’s rustic/modern maritime theme.

As new Sarasota residents, this proved especially vexing. Thriftstore shopping is an art best left to locals who know where to look for buried treasures.

Coyne and Foley were resourceful.

They started in downtown Sarasota, at Sarasota Architectural Salvage, where they unearthed their best loot, including canoe paddles that they turned into bathroom door handles and weathered wood reclaimed from a 1920s beach cottage.

We like to mix vintage stuff with clean modern stuff,” Coyne says. “We also wanted to bring a sense of humor to the place.”

Some of the pieces were transplanted, like Coyne, from Maryland, including the Eastern Avenue and Broadway Street signs that once marked the location of the family’s first business: an auto-repair shop in Baltimore.

“It’s a reminder of where we came from,” Coyne says.

The couple recently left their jobs at Under Armour, where they helped launch a new line of graphic T-shirts for the sportswear company.

Coyne says after “going nonstop” for 10 years, she was ready

Husband-and-wife artists Matt Foley and Phallen Coyne have stirred up a groovy seaside vibe at their family’s new restaurant in South Sarasota.

Heidi Kurpiela

Phallen Coyne and Matt Foley with one of several shellfish paintings Coyne created for her family’s new Sarasota restaurant. for a change of pace.

A graduate of the Art Institute of Washington, she was hired straight out of college to work as a designer for Zoo York, a skateboarding clothing line in New York City.

“I was designing for 15-yearold skater boys,” she says. “I learned everything I could about apparel. I forced myself to sink or swim.”

And swim, she did.

Four years later, she was hired to work as a senior graphic designer and junior art director for Selena Gomez’s line of clothes.

In the middle of this, she met Foley while vacationing in Florida. At the time, Foley, a Boston native, was working as a producer for several advertising agencies in Miami.

The two maintained a long-

distance relationship until Under Armour hired them both in 2010. “Working together in a corporate environment was good training for getting married,” says Coyne, who married Foley last summer on Siesta Key, not realizing she’d be back a year later to help her parents open a restaurant. “It taught us to be professional and not take our disagreements too personally.”
