A new merchants group has formed, splintering from the established Downtown Sarasota Alliance, to bring a more focused approach to issues that specifically impact downtown shop owners.

The freshly founded group, called the Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association, aims to bring more customers downtown, lobby for improvements on Main Street and represent merchants at City Hall. It plans to push for the small things, such as new trashcans and clean sidewalks on Main Street, while engaging in the bigger battles, such as paid parking and ensuring Downtown Improvement District funding is spent on projects that will enhance the district.

Ron Soto, owner of Soto’s Optics and the informal merchantappointed “captain” of the new group, said the problem was that the Downtown Sarasota Alliance morphed into more of a chamber-like group as opposed to a lobbying arm for merchants.

“It’s just that the DSA has continued to grow so much that it cannot focus on the merchants,” Soto said. “And the merchants, in my opinion, fuel downtown.”

John Harshman, a downtown commercial broker and chairman of the DSA, said that the group was formed to bring several smaller organizations together, and its mission has been to do whatever it takes to promote downtown for businesses, residents and tourists. According to Harshman, its role was never to focus solely on merchants,

Candidates show variety of policing experience The new chief will work with City Manager Tom Barwin to bring progressive policing to Sarasota.

The semifinalists for Sarasota’s next police chief each have 23 years’ or more of law-enforcement experience.

But the candidates all stand out for different reasons: One was named Officer of the Year three times; one was the head of

security for delegates at the Republican National Convention in Tampa; one was the first AfricanAmerican female captain for the Arlington County Police Department; one was the lead detective on many high-profile murder cases; and another established a new

law-enforcement agency within 45 days in Campton Hills, Ill. But, perhaps, the most significant attribute for a potential chief will be his or her commitment to community policing techniques, a top requirement for City Manager Tom Barwin.

Barwin, who was recently hired as Sarasota’s city manager, said community policing became a staple of the police department in Oak Park, Ill., where he served as manager for the past six years.

MERCHANTS / FROM PAGE 1A although Harshman lists a $20,000-plus marketing campaign called Live Sarasota and an upcoming Dine Downtown event as examples of what the group does to bring business downtown.

“We are doing all kinds of good things for downtown,” Harshman said. “The DSA supports all efforts to make downtown the best downtown.”

But Soto said the need for a merchantsonly organization became clearer over the past few months. The impetus, in part, was a sour economy that has made it more difficult to draw customers into stores. Merchants realized they needed to work together more than ever.

The other spark was a fight against the city’s effort to put in parking meters downtown.

As merchants rallied against paid parking, they realized they needed a more unified voice.

“The only way we are taken seriously is if we pull together,” Soto said.

Soto cited the fact that only three of 14 members of the DSA board are merchants — a structure that was established by the group’s bylaws — and that the DSA has grown to 320 members, including residents and business owners who live outside of the downtown area.

“The DSA got so big, I refer to it as a dinosaur, and we all know what happened to dinosaurs,” Soto said.

So far, more than 20 merchants have joined the new Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association, with six new merchants joining last week. Many merchants will remain members of both groups.

Strength in numbers

Some merchants say the Downtown Sarasota Alliance was not involved enough in the opposition against paid parking over the past year.

But Harshman said the DSA had the same message for city commissioners as that of vocal merchants. DSA members

The Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association’s maintenance committee will focus on improving the small blemishes on Main Street such as replacing trashcans, cleaning sidewalks and repairing the lampposts that line the street. over their heads and tossing quarters out in protest.

“The parking meters got everyone together,” said Ron Kennedy, co-owner of Kennedy Studios on Main Street, about merchants banding together.

GOING SOCIAL The Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association is so new that it hasn’t created its webpage yet, but the group has a fan page on Facebook.

The small things spoke out against paid parking, speaking at public meetings and, at one point, asked for a 90-day removal of the meters so city officials could work with merchants to reconsider where to place the meters and how they would best operate.

Harshman said that message was the same — although it might have been delivered in a different manner.

“We were on the same page,” Harshman said.

Merchants, however, employed a more quixotic approach they felt was needed to get city officials to yank the parking meters from Main Street. They staged a “Bag the Meters” rally at City Hall, wearing bags

Kennedy walked down the sidewalk last Thursday with Jasper, his 13-year-old Brittany who keeps him company during the day and greets studio customers. The studio owner noticed the paint chipping off a lamppost. Kennedy also realized that the city’s Public Works department had just replaced a rusted trashcan at the corner of Main Street and Lemon Avenue.

Kennedy had called the city about the trashcan a week earlier.

It’s the small things, such as a rusted trashcan or a paint-chipped lamppost, that Kennedy says make a difference, because customers and diners notice these when they visit the area.

As a member of the new Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association, Kennedy will chair the group’s maintenance committee. His focus will be on sidewalks and trashcans.

“I’ll be the prod for the city and the DID, reminding them of these maintenance issues,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy, who has run a studio on Main Street for 20 years with his wife, is not sure how the new group will work out, but he’s hopeful it will become a positive evolution in downtown merchants’ efforts to make downtown a draw for tourists and residents alike.

“The merchants can look over their own needs better than anyone else,” Kennedy said.

Soto agrees.

“We are looking to get people downtown, get them into the stores, now over the next few weeks or in six months,” Soto said. “We want to keep downtown a vibrant place where things are happening.”

pay early

by Roger Drouin | City Editor

Commission approves ticket late-fee increase Fees will increase for drivers who wait to pay their parking tickets, but those who pay promptly will receive a $5 discount.

City commissioners, Monday, Sept. 17, approved a set of changes designed to incentivize early payment of parking tickets and punish those who wait to pay their tickets.

As a result of these changes, parking-ticket violators would pay an initial late fee of $15 if a ticket were left unpaid for 15 days. Another $15 late fee will be added for each month it goes unpaid, for a total maximum late fine of $45 per ticket.

The previous parking program applied only a one-time late fee of $15.

Another change allows the city to place a hold on the vehicle tags of certain parking violators who have failed to pay their tickets.

It’s not all bad news for ticket recipients, though. The changes offer good news for prompt payers in that the city will discount parking fines by $5 for tickets paid within 24 hours.

Commissioners said they also wanted to see the $5 discount offered to those parking violators who receive a ticket on Saturday and pay the ticket by Monday.

Sarasota Parking Manager Mark Lyons told commissioners the parking changes are meant to increase the likelihood of collecting parking fines, rather than to establish a new method of revenue.

“This is more about getting the collections up,” Lyons said.

File photo

Enforced parking hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Right now, the city’s collection rate is 85% within the first 30 days after a ticket is issued.

However, ticket satisfaction dips significantly for violators who wait more than a month

to pay a ticket.

“Once they learn there is only one late fee applied, it’s difficult to get some of those to come in and pay,” Lyons said.

The additional late fees, along with the ability to put a hold on a driver’s vehicle tags, are meant to allow the city to collect more of those unpaid tickets.

Commissioners also implemented heftier fines for those who get a boot, or wheel-lock, placed on their car. Those ticket holders will have to pay $75 to get the boot removed — as opposed to the $50 fee assessed previously.

Before a boot gets locked on a car, the driver has to owe $100 in parking fines; have two unpaid parking tickets (without filing an appeal) in 30 days; or receive three parking tickets in a 30-day period.

cold energy

by Roger Drouin | City Editor Alternative-energy fund cut due to budget woes The program’s funding will be moved back into the city’s general fund budget.

An alternative-energy program fell victim to the economic downturn Monday when a split City Commission voted down the program 3-2, with three commissioners saying it was too costly of a luxury during times of cutbacks.

Commissioners Terry Turner and Shannon Snyder said approving the program would contribute to future deficits. Mayor Suzanne Atwell cast the third vote against the initiative, saying she wanted the city to consider other partnerships with the county and local corporations that would promote alternative energy at a lower cost to the city.

Atwell envisions a broader attempt to focus on green energy through a city and county collaboration.

Former Mayor Kelly Kirschner served on the commission that first approved the program in 2010. He was one of more than 10 advocates who spoke Monday in an attempt to convince commissioners to move the program forward as part of this year’s budget.

Kirschner said the program would have set aside an estimated $150,000 next year for solar water heaters and other alternative-energy efforts.

If approved, the program would have used a portion of a tax paid by Florida Power & Light customers. The portion of that tax that would have funded the energy program will now be funneled into the city’s general fund budget.

Another issue, in addition to cost, was how the city would have managed such a program.

The green-energy initiative would have financed low-interest loans to homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades. However, that concept fell apart after restrictions were placed on municipalities by federal mortgage lenders, said the city’s finance director, Chris Lyons.

Another possible option was to issue grants to home and business-property owners.

Commissioner Paul Caragiulo said he was originally opposed to the program but changed his mind.

“If we stop thinking like dinosaurs, maybe we have a better chance of avoiding extinction,” Caragiulo said.

P.F. Chang’s slated to open in summer 2013 With its eye on an August 2013 completion date for construction, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Inc. plans to open the doors to its new downtown Sarasota location in time for the 2013 fall season.

Construction of the restaurant is estimated to begin within months, now that city commissioners, Monday, Sept. 17, approved a plan to vacate a portion of the road to make way for the restaurant’s parking.

Mark Kauffman, of Bayou Associates Ltd., purchased the property in June 2012 for $1.5 million and razed an office building on the property. The construction site is cleared, and a fence has been built around the perimeter.

P.F. Chang’s in-house architectural team designed the new restaurant, and with building plans complete, Kauffman intends to seek permitting for construction, a process that could take up

Construction of the restaurant will start in November, now that commissioners approved a plan to vacate a portion of road that will make way for parking.

A new P.F. Chang’s China Bistro restaurant should open by August 2013 in a newly-constructed 6,900-square-foot building at the corner of U.S. 41 and Osprey Avenue. to two months. The construction of the 6,900-square-foot, standalone building at the corner of U.S. 41 and Osprey Avenue is estimated to take eight months to complete, said Kauffman.

Kate Lowman, president of the Laurel Park Neighborhood Association, said Kauffman, the

developer of the restaurant project, has addressed the neighbors’ major concerns.

One concern was that a fivestory building might have been built on that site.

“They (the developer) committed to the lower height (of one story),” Lowman said.

Residents also had concerns about the appearance of the project’s border with the residential neighborhood of Laurel Park. But, according to Lowman, Kauffman showed residents the plans, including the landscape design, to alleviate those concerns.

“They have agreed to put in a good amount of vegetation there where it abuts the neighborhood,” Lowman said.

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Inc. operates two restaurant chains: the full-service P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and the quick-casual Pei Wei Asian Diner. Community interest has been especially high for the restaurant because the closest P.F. Chang’s is more than an hour away north or south, in Tampa and Fort Myers. The company operates a Pei Wei on University Parkway just west of I-75.

Now that the main concerns have been addressed, residents in Laurel Park welcome the addition to their neighborhood.

“It will be another good restaurant for us to walk to,” Lowman said.

Sarasota city commissioners are slated to cast the first of two votes on a domestic-partner ordinance Oct. 1.

In July, the commission voted unanimously to draft an ordinance similar to at least a dozen ordinances in Florida cities and counties that afford greater rights to unmarried couples.

The city’s proposed domestic-partner registry would allow unmarried couples who live together certain rights, including the ability to make health-care decisions for the partner, funeral decisions, hospital visitations and jail visits. It would not take the gender of couples into consideration.

A recent study conducted by SCOPE found that respondents in Sarasota ranked natural environment as the most important quality of well-being.

SCOPE held workshops and posed several questions, including one that asked residents which qualities of well-being mattered most, from economic to social factors. The study found that residents felt that the natural environment — including such aspects as preserved greenspace and the health of the bay — was the most important. SCOPE conducts annual surveys and reports on quality-of-life issues throughout the county.

Sarasota County discusses Comp Plan County staff will meet with two developers to work out problems in the 2050 Comprehensive Plan. Staff will also update construction fee data.

The rumors about Sarasota County’s plans to cut 1,200 pages from the 2050 Comprehensive Plan were partially true.

The 1,300-page document, adopted in 2002 to guide future development, might slim down, but it would be to fit on the screen of mobile technology, explained County Administrator Randall Reid during a County Commission growth workshop Sept. 18.

Although Reid said staff recommends cutting 80% of the document, that portion would be moved into a separate volume. The goal is to create an application or electronic document with hyperlinks that can recall parts of the 1,000 pages taken from the plan when a pertinent sentence in the reduced Comp Plan is clicked.

The meeting was meant to start a dialogue with commissioners about making the plan easier to understand, in compliance with new state requirements and shift focus toward implementation of its policies.

What followed was a freeform discourse that highlighted some new ways to focus on redevelopment. The discussion ended with updating the base of development fees that have remained untouched for five

years.

Sarasota County commissioners voted unanimously to update the data used to calculate impact fees, which are currently levied based on statistics from 2006 or before, during a run-up in building prices before the market crash.

County commissioners, toward the end of three hours of questions and presentations, voted unanimously for staff to meet with Pat Neal, president of Neal Communities, and Rex Jensen, president of SchroederManatee, to figure out how the Comprehensive Plan complicated planned developments in Lakewood Ranch. Neal Communities, a Lakewood Ranch homebuilder, created a development using the Comp Plan.

“I think we have needed to have this discussion for a long time,” County Commissioner Nora Patterson said.

But, there were concerns from county stakeholders about digging too deep into the lengthy document.

Sarasota County Council of Neighborhood Associations President Lourdes Ramirez, who is a Siesta Key resident, said the Comp Plan is the last line of defense against development that neighborhoods may find

undesirable.

“We need a vision; the problem is whose vision are we going to go with,” Ramirez said.

“The philosophy behind (the 2050 Comprehensive Plan) was part of a very hotly debated community discussion,” she said. The only public comment during the workshop was about an unrelated sewer system proposal.

Impact update

The second half of the growth workshop moved quicker than discussions about the Comp Plan and ended with more deliberate direction from county commissioners.

According to Sarasota County Public Works Planning General Manager Clarke Davis, the problem with the amount of building fees assessed is that they were based on data collected from 2006 or before. The most recent construction cost data comes from 2005, during the real-estate expansion, which could mean that current builders are being overcharged, Barbetta said. (See chart.)

County Commission Chairwoman Christine Robinson asked for specific dates when new impact fee amounts would be ready for a public hearing.

But, because commissioners voted to avoid using an outside consultant, Davis said he would need to meet with several directors before a timeframe was established. He estimated it would take between four and six months before the new impact fees could be calculated.

Municipalities assess impact fees to raise revenue for public facilities and infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, which would be required to support residential and commercial development. They can also be used as disincentives to

avoid economically undesirable activity, such as taxes for building without environmentally friendly features.

There are eight types of impact fees collected in Sarasota County, seven of which were most recently amended in 2007, according to the growth presentation. One of the seven, for education, has been suspended since 2010 and will expire at the end of 2012. Road impact fees have been reduced by 50% since several months after the education-fee suspension went into effect. They will expire in 2013.

CHIEF / FROM PAGE 1A Barwin said community policing is becoming a mainstay of modern police departments in which officers and members of the community are partners in a “two-way street.� “Residents knew their area had a patrol officer responsible and accountable for that neighborhood,� Barwin said of Oak Park. “That officer would generate a monthly report. We opened satellite stations, had foot patrols in commercial districts and put up stats daily to hone in on where the crimes occurred.�

Barwin is interested in working with whoever is named Sarasota’s police chief on innovative programs, such as the High Point Initiative, a crime-fighting plan modeled after a program enacted in High Point, N.C. A similar initiative could be used to fight crime in Sarasota, one example being in North Sarasota.

On Oct. 5 and Oct. 6, the semifinalists for the chief of police post will come to Sarasota for a two-day interview process.

Notably missing from the previous short list of 13 candidates — which was culled down by interim City Manger Terry Lewis — were the local candidates.

No candidates from the Sarasota Police Department made it on the short list, although two captains had applied.

Dorthy Schulz, professor of police studies at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said that the lack of local candidates making the cut could be explained by the tensions that precipitated the resignation of former Police Chief Peter Abbott in 2010. An investigation was launched into an officer who was caught on video and later fired for kicking a handcuffed Guatemalan immigrant. An attempt to cover up the incident sparked a scandal that led, in part, to Abbott’s resignation. “When there is a big search for a chief, and no internal candidates make the top, it’s usually because of a scandal,� Schulz said.

THE SEMIFINALISTS

Two women make final list for police chief

GREGORY ANDERSON

Current position: Police chief, Oak Forest, Ill., 2010 to present Years in law enforcement: 32 Highlights: Instructor for Suburban Law Enforcement Academy in Illinois; at Aurora Police Department, initiated and planned new $22 million radio project On the beat: Helped remake Aurora Police Department so that officers worked specific neighborhood beats and developed a relationship with residents. As an area commander, Anderson worked closely with neighborhood groups, clergy, civilrights leaders and community-orientated police officers to fight crime.

If either Bernadette DiPino or Tonya Vincent is tapped as Sarasota’s next police chief, she will become the first woman to lead the city’s police department.

City Manager Tom Barwin, who narrowed a list of 13 candidates to a short list of five last week, said DiPino and Vincent made the final list because of their solid on-the-job experience.

Women now make up about 2% of police chiefs nationally, up from less than 1% just a decade ago. “The percentage in 10 years has increased significantly, from being an exception to about 2% now,� said Dorothy Schulz, a professor of police studies at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. “It is an interesting situation you have,� Schulz said, “because it is still unusual to have two women in the running (as semifinalists), but I think it does represent the wave of the future.�

Schulz, who tracks the number of women chiefs hired nationally and wrote the book, “Breaking the Brass Ceiling: Women Police Chiefs and Their Paths to the Top,� only recalled one other instance in which two women candidates were vying for a top-cop position.

In 2003, Milwaukee’s former chief, Nannette Hegerty, was vying against another woman semi-finalist for the post. Hegerty was chosen as chief and served as the top cop there from 2003 to 2007.

It is even more rare, Schulz said, for a city to be considering two women candidates who are both from outside the city’s police force. Hegerty, for instance, started her law-enforcement career in Milwaukee before she was chosen as chief in 2003.

BERNADETTE DIPINO

Current position: Chief of police, Ocean City, Md., 2003 to present Years in law enforcement: 27 Highlights: Officer of the Year (1987, 1993 and 1997) On the beat: Earned 18 commendations, including recognition for disarming a suicidal person, recovering three kidnapped children, apprehending two homicide suspects and for her quick actions with a child in respiratory distress. As a sergeant in charge of Ocean City’s community policing unit in 1995, one of DiPino’s initiatives was to line up officer-supervised buses in front of bars and clubs to drive intoxicated patrons home safely. DiPino tweets police updates and safety tips.

SALVATORE RUGGERIO

Current position: Division commander (retired), Tampa Police Department, 2009 to 2011 Years in law enforcement: 30 Highlights: As security adviser for the Republican National Convention, planned and organized the convention’s delegate security at 100 hotels.

On the beat: Patrol units in a South

Tampa neighborhood battled an increase in robberies and gang graffiti. Detectives, under the command of Ruggerio, began to identify members of the gang and eventually dismantled it. Officers reached out to younger members of the gang.

Ruggerio also collaborated with the owner of a nightclub that attracted gang members to clean up the business.

MARK TEUNIS

Current position: Support services commander, Clearwater Police Department, 2010 to present Years in law enforcement: 30 Highlights: Officer of the Year (1994); initiated crime mapping program.

On the beat: Teunis earned the trust of a man from a high-crime neighborhood. As the man jogged by the then-police major, he would whisper the location of where the drug dealers were operating that day.

The man and his wife were members of the neighborhood watch and went on to kept in touch with Teunis.

TONYA VINCENT

Current position: Deputy chief of police, Richmond, Va., 2011 to present Years in law enforcement: 23 Highlights: First African-American female captain for the Arlington County Police Department; recipient of the Arlington County Exceptional Achievement Award.

On the beat: Vincent built a relationship with the Hispanic community that had historically not reported crimes because of their fear of the police. Soon after, the police department placed a substation in this neighborhood and eventually started a Citizen’s Police Academy taught in Spanish for volunteers from the area.

Currently, as deputy chief, Vincent oversees the department’s $82 million budget and led the shift to the use of a new multi-million dollar computer system.

heartfelt event

by Nick Friedman | Community Editor

Heart Walk to feature heart-disease survivor At the age of 10, while walking to a neighbor’s house with a group of friends, Fabrizio Di Marco realized something wasn’t right. He was dizzy and tired, and he fainted on the lawn.

“Before that, when my friends would come over to play outside, I would get progressively more tired,” said Fabrizio. “It got to the point where I could go maybe five feet before I’d be on the ground. That’s not normal.”

After months of testing and monitoring, Fabrizio’s doctors determined that he had a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which affects his heart in two ways: One wall of his bottom-left ventricle had become thicker than normal, and the valves in his heart have trouble sending the correct signals.

Three years and two heart surgeries later, Fabrizio says he’s about back to normal, thanks to his two pacemakers and defibrillator. After his first surgery, Fabrizio’s heart had grown 100% dependent on the pacemaker, so he and his family opted to have another one installed in May as a backup.

“That was the scary part,” says his father, Matt Di Marco. “If the pacemaker were to malfunction, his heart couldn’t even beat one time without it.”

Saturday, Sept. 22, Fabrizio will bring his experience with him to the 2012 Sarasota/Manatee Heart Walk, for which he and his team of 25 will

Having just had his second surgery in May, Fabrizio was a little nervous to participate in the walk, but he says he’s excited to walk with his friends

and help raise money for a good cause. He’s even met his fundraising goal of $500, and he expects to surpass that on Saturday.

Looking back on the last three years, Fabrizio says the best advice he can give someone who is going through a similar experience with heart disease is to stay positive and talk to someone trustworthy.

“Just keep rolling,” he says. “Try not to let it get you down, and talk to someone. Support is important.”

City Finance Director Chris Lyons announced Tuesday he is retiring for health reasons.

Lyons, a 25-year employee, made the announcement one day after the City Commission approved the city’s 2012-2013 budget. Lyons was finance director for the past five years, and he helped prepare 23 fiscal year budgets as a city employee. Recently, he led efforts to cut city costs and reform pensions.

“I want to express my deep and sincere appreciation to Chris for guiding the 201213 budget through to adoption and working through some tough financial times and personal times,” said City Manager Tom Barwin in a press release. “He’s a talented and dedicated individual, and just in the short time I’ve been here I know he will be sorely missed.”

Lyons will continue

his employment with the city for at least 60 days and has offered to assist with the transition process when his successor is hired. A national search will be launched soon to hire a new finance director.

“It’s going to be really difficult to fill his shoes,” said Sarasota’s public information officer Jan Thornburg.

Prior to serving as finance director, Lyons was the acting finance director, deputy finance director and budget director. Lyons began his career with the city in 1987 as the accounts/ payroll manager. Before his time with the city of Sarasota, Lyons worked as a certified public account in the private sector in the state of New York and state of Florida.

This summer, Lyons concluded a one-year term as president of the Florida Government Finance Officers Association.

THE CASTAWAY by Jorge Blanco

+ Bernanke taking your wealth

In the wake of Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke’s announcement that the Federal Reserve will engage in monthly purchases of $40 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities, eyes glazed over mainstream America. Such monetary-policy announcements are quantum physics to many. But they have big consequences on us all.

Within hours of Bernanke’s announcement, the economic blogosphere and analysts were humming with criticism.

One of the best and most understandable interpretations of how the Fed’s new policies will affect all of us came from Peter Schiff, CEO and chief investment strategist for Euro Pacific Capital, based in Connecticut.

In his commentary a day after the Fed’s announcement, Schiff said, “Going further than he has ever gone before, (Bernanke) made it clear that he will be permanently binding the American economy to a losing strategy. As a result, Sept. 13, 2012, may one day be regarded as the day America finally threw in the economic towel …

“The set of policies announced yesterday will do so much more damage than ‘Operation Twist,’ they should be dubbed ‘Operation Screw.’ Because, make no mistake, anyone holding U.S. dollars, Treasury bonds or living on a fixed income will have his purchasing power stolen by these actions.”

As Schiff explains, the Fed’s purchases of mortgage-backed securities (i.e. bundled groups of mortgages and the same investments that led to the housing meltdown in 2009) is expected to push mortgage rates even lower than they are now, supposedly encouraging people to refinance their existing mortgages or buy homes.

This in turn is expected to help generate enough demand to increase home prices and values, making consumers feel wealthier and thus more willing to take out new home-equity loans that will be used to make more consumer purchases.

And these purchases are then expected to translate into employers hiring more people to fill the consumer demand.

At the same time, the Fed hopes that cheap money will push up stock prices so investors feel wealthier and also begin to spend more freely.

It sounds so rosy and plausible.

But as Schiff notes: “(Bernanke) won’t admit this directly, but rather than building an economy on increased productivity, production and wealth accumulation, he is trying to build one on confidence, increased leverage and rising asset prices.

In other words, the Fed prefers the illusion of growth to the restructuring needed to allow for real growth.

“The problem that went unnoticed by the reporters at the Fed’s press conference (and those who have written about it subsequently), Schiff says, “is we already tried this strategy, and it ended in disaster.

Loose monetary policy created the housing and stock bubbles of the last decade, the bursting of which almost blew up the economy.”

Officers in a patrol car noticed a driver swerving in an S-pattern in a turquoise-and-pink car with chrome rims. The driver drove directly at the patrol car, almost striking it, then backed up and attempted to escape in reverse, nearly hitting several parked cars and causing pedestrians to jump out of the way.

The driver headed onto another street and swerved into opposing lanes to pass cars. He bailed out of the moving car and ran into a home. Officers pursued the man and used a P.A. system to call for him to come out.

Eventually, the man surrendered and was arrested.

BYOBachelor Auction revs fight against breast cancer Going once, going twice, sold!

The third BYOBachelor Auction took place Tuesday, Sept. 18, at McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre. Put on by The Legal Eagles of Norton Hammersley and Team American Cocktail Society, the auction raised money for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and the American Cancer Society.

This year, the event sold out and included 17 bachelors, plus honorary bachelor actor Walt Willey, of “All My Children.” Between the bachelors, donations and the 50/50 raffle, the auction brought in a total of $34,000 — $16,000 more than last year. For more information, visit byobachelor.com.

Co-chairs Sarah Wakefield and Amy Tuten pose with emcee and honorary bachelor Walt Willey.

The Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota hosted a walk Saturday, Sept. 15, at Ed Smith Stadium, to raise awareness of the need for safe places for children to spend their time.

The third annual walk included an appearance by the Baltimore Orioles’ mascot. After the 3K walk, children were invited to play games on the field.

Craig Houck, 26, went for $4600 — more than any other bachelor at the auction.

Kobernick Campus celebrates new year Kobernick Campus residents gathered together around a replica of the River Jordan Tuesday, Sept. 18, to observe Tashlich, a ritual in which Jews symbolically toss away their sins at the start of the new year. Rabbi Barbara Aiello led the group in psalms, readings and the tossing away of sins during the short ceremony. Residents confessed to sins including stretching the truth, being short-tempered, using bad language and the all-inclusive, “I did something but I don’t want to say what it was.”

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Get a peek inside Cardinal Mooney’s offense with quarterback Reese Vita. PAGE 17A

YourObserver.com

By Jen Blanco | Sports Editor

CHARGING AHEAD

Mooney senior Alec Zec begins his final season with the Sarasota Couny high school hockey team Sept. 21. This will be his fourth season with the Rampage.

ELLENTON — It’s like a moment frozen in time.

A memory Alec Zec will never forget.

One he continues to replay over and over again in his mind when he steps onto the ice.

It was the sixth game of the Sarasota County high school hockey season, and the then Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School freshman had just blocked a shot, beaten the defender back down the ice and fired off a shot of his own from the corner of the rink.

There, Zec stood frozen, silently watching as the puck whizzed through the air toward the net before eventually making its way in.

Zec immediately dropped to one knee, slid across the ice and pumped his fist in celebration of his first goal.

“I didn’t think it was going to hit the net,” said Zec, who turns 18 years old Sept. 22. “It looked like it was going to be high. I celebrated pretty hard.”

Now, four years later, Zec is preparing to begin his final season playing for the Sarasota Rampage — one he hopes will statistically be his best season on record and land him an opportunity to play collegiate hockey.

Last season, Zec finished with 13 assists and has aspirations of recording more than 15 assists this year along with more than six goals — the number of goals he scored his sophomore year.

Zec attended his first practice of the season Sept. 12 and will take the ice for Sarasota’s season opener Sept. 21, against Palm Harbor.

“I think we’ll do better this year,” Zec said. “I want us to at least make the playoffs and hopefully go further.”

Zec began playing hockey in seventh grade after attending a public skate on Christmas Eve at the Ellenton ice rink.

Zec, who briefly played hockey in kindergarten before eventually deciding to focus on football, baseball and basketball, enjoyed playing street hockey and attending the public skates.

At the urging of his mother, Vicki, Zec grabbed his stick and headed back to the rink.

“I kind of wanted to try it again,” Zec said.

Zec joined the rink’s recreational hockey team for which he played for the next two years before joining the Sarasota County high school hockey team as

SWIMMING Jen Blanco

Alec Zec prepares for his final season playing hockey for the Sarasota Rampage. a freshman.

“I was nervous,” Zec said of stepping back onto the ice. “I was the youngest one out of everyone. I was only a little seventh-grader.

“It wasn’t until I started playing high school hockey that I got the feel of it,” Zec said. “I got used to hitting. That was the only part that I was really scared of.”

Zec started out playing defense before moving to forward last year, which he enjoys even more.

“I like scoring goals and assists,” Zec said. “You have to play smart (though).

You have to know where to be.”

This fall, Zec is adjusting to playing alongside some of his former competitors after the Manatee County high school hockey team decided not to compete this season.

“I actually kind of like it,” Zec said of playing with kids from other schools.

“I’ve gotten to know a lot of people.

We’re all pretty funny. Us Manatee and Sarasota kids are all friends.”

Zec practices with the Sarasota County high school hockey team every Wednesday night and has games every Friday night.

In addition, Zec works as a skate guard during weekend public skates at the ice rink and keeps score for the adult hockey team; he also plays lacrosse for Cardinal Mooney.

“I like hockey more, but lacrosse is catching up,” Zec said. “My dad wanted me to try it, but now I actually like it a lot. I’m not the best at it, but I like it.”

What is it like to play quarterback as a sophomore?

I never thought I’d be starting quarterback on a varsity team as a sophomore, and my team has been really supportive. The team and my family push me to be a better player.

Cardinal Mooney sophomore Reese Vita has been playing football since he was 4 years old. Starting as varsity quarterback in only his sophomore year, he says he focuses on improving his game every day, and his favorite part of the game is the sense of family he finds among the team. After a 41-7 victory over Lake Placid, in which he earned four touchdowns and nearly 300 yards, Vita talks about his strengths, weaknesses and most memorable moments in football.

W

hat another artist might discard, Jackie Peters Cully sees as another medium for her craft — she uses all of it.

A silk scarf in the making, sits on blank brown parchment paper. As she paints color on the fabric, dye seeps

through onto the protective sheets of parchment below it. Cully then uses a roll of toilet paper to rub the ink into the silk.

The rolls of toilet paper, colored in streaks of bright dye, will next be used in a skirt she is producing in April for the iconcept fashion show fundraiser.

XXX >> COVER STORY

The leftover colorful parchment paper will be used for a special installation coming to Art Center Sarasota in May. Four hundred colorful leaves will hang from ceiling to floor — the result of a community project that she has initiated with the help of the Art Center.

“Oh, it’s a beautiful story,” she says of how the idea came formed.

It started when Cully found two leaves outside of her house.

She brought them inside, and they sat on her bookshelf for six months.

Using polymer glue, she eventually covered the leaves with the dye-stained parchment from her latest textile design project, and they sat for another six months.

“I couldn’t figure out what to do with them, but I knew something would happen because that’s the way my life goes,” she says.

It was an artist friend of Cully’s, who, upon seeing the leaves, suggested she turn them into an art installation — Cully’s first.

Cully could envision what it would look like, but she knew the project would need more leaves than she could produce on her own.

Cully recalled an article she read about a Nigerian artist who taught boys in his community how to flatten bottle caps for an installation on which he was working. The idea spurred the solution to her massive leaf installation.

“It’s going to be a community project,” Cully says.

No two leaves will be alike.

They will all be different shapes, sizes and varieties; and a differ-

Jackie Peters Cully’s colorful leaves. For her community project, each side of the leaf will be decorated by a different person. ent person will design and decorate each side of the leaf.

Cully has already led three workshops at the Art Center to teach local children how to decorate the leaves.

“We’re (hoping) to do Boys and Girls (Club), Booker High School, The Friendship Center and the Women’s Resource Center, among other places,” she says.

The first workshop for adults was held Monday, Sept. 17.

She plans to host at least one a month until the installation takes place. Cully tries to make six leaves a night. As a retired textile designer, her paper placement has a defined sense of purpose that reflects her artful eye.

In July, the installation will be moved to Florida Craftsman Gallery, in St. Petersburg. But Cully has aspirations for it to keep moving.

“You know what I hope?” she asks with hushed excitement.

“That it goes to New York.”

New York City is a place she knows well; it was there that

Cully achieved her childhood dreams. She was the first black stylist and textile designer in the United States.

“Since I was 5 years old, I knew I was going to be an artist,” Cully says.

When one of her high school teachers in Boston found out Cully (then Peters) was going to study at The Art Institute of Chicago, she told her that there was no place in the fashion market for a black artist.

“But I didn’t pay any attention to her,” Cully laughs. “I was going to be a fashion designer.”

While most women her age were getting married or studying to become secretaries, nurses or schoolteachers, Cully was attending art school in Chicago.

Around 1951, Cully moved to Paris to continue learning. After a year in one of the fashion capitals of the world, she returned home to Boston and began her search for a job as a dress designer.

“There were no black designers; just as my teacher said,” Cul-

ly says. She eventually moved to New York.

But, she was encouraged to pursue textile design when a Vogue editor saw her portfolio during an interview. It was a good fit. After 12 jobs in 12 years, Cully had made a name for herself.

“It was always upward, better jobs and bigger places,” she says.

Cully became well-known for her textile designs and was featured in many publications, from The New York Times to Ebony. She also sold her designs to the likes of Macy’s and Oscar de la Renta.

By 1966, Cully held one of the highest positions she could — a stylist at a design house. Then, in 1979, she took the next big career: She stepped out on her own to start Jackie Peters Design Studio.

By 1966, Cully was making an unheard of salary in the highest position she could hold — a stylist at a design house. Then in 1979, she took the next big career step going out on her own to start Jackie Peters Design Studio.

In 2000, Peters retired from textile design and moved to Sarasota, but she continues to make her mark on the world of design, one leaf at a time.

“I think if you have a passion, no matter what it is … don’t ever give up,” she says, “Stick around for the miracle that can happen in your life.”

+ Get ’em while they’re hot And I’m talking tickets; the women (and men) of Black Diamond Burlesque are always hot.

I attended the troupe’s September show, and it was a blast, from the whipped cream and gorilla suit, right down to the clothes-eating snake. And I haven’t been able to get Top Hat Dave’s tassels out of my head since that show.

It might seem early to buy tickets for an Oct. 20 show, but the the group sold a quarter of the October show’s tickets before they even went on stage this month.

I hear it’s going to be a Halloween-themed affair — full of tricks, treats and lots of tease. Call 925-FUNY for tickets or go online to mccurdyscomedy.com.

Local writer Pamela Beck has a column, called ARTdart, on Sarasota Visual Art’s website. One of her recent columns about art and youthfulness is a not-to-be missed piece.

Beck’s piece recaps the story of a John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art docent’s recent tour. The docent was in awe of Michael, a little boy on her tour. Michael’s excitement and enthusiasm, as told by Beck, was impressive and scholarly.

He asked questions and had an almost professional take on seeing the museum for the first time. The story reminds you to trust future generations and to see things through innocent eyes.

Seminars were offered to examine, evaluate and understand the science of wine. Attendees learned about pairing various varietals with small bites offered from Anna Maria Oyster Bar, Harry’s

There were plenty of opportunities to say hello to Snooty, the museum’s resident manatee, and stroll through the exhibits, all in the name of raising funds for South Florida Museum’s education program.

“I have to say that, honestly, (the process) hasn’t been difficult,” choreographer Jolie Rand says. “I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to choreograph at The Players … I have the opportunity to do what I love to do in a place that’s my home.”

Players’ choreography sure to garner some ‘applause’ N

estled among the glowing lights of the Vegas Strip lived choreographer Jolie Rand and her daughter, Nikki.

Rand was leading a Broadway children’s theater that she founded, called Broadway Bound, and she was simultaneously choreographing shows for high schools and a local community theater. Vegas wasn’t all that bad, but Rand was ready to leave the drone of electronic slot machine sounds and streets bustling with tourists. “(Nikki) was going into high school, so we thought we needed a change; we wanted to move to a family-oriented community,”

Rand says.

Nikki, also a dancer, now attends Booker High School.

Rand’s parents live in Sarasota, and she and her daughter would visit frequently. In 2010, they moved here permanently. Rand was glad to come to a warm place away from the hustle and bustle.

Two days after arriving in Sarasota, Nikki auditioned for “Mame” at The Players Theatre and was cast.

“When we walked through the doors, Jeffery (Kin) was so warm, giving and kind ... We’ve never gone to any other theaters — it’s our home,” Rand says.

Rand, who started as a triple

threat (dancer, singer and actress) at age 9, has been involved in theater her whole life.

At age 17, after attending a performing-arts high school, Rand spent summers in Atlanta performing and dancing at Six Flags Over Georgia. It was there that she befriended DeWayne Barrett, a fellow performer and now a fellow Sarasotan.

Rand tapped her way to a dance school in New York and a professional dance school in London where she began to excel outside of performance.

“My leadership skills as a dance captain and choreographer were noted early,” she says. “So, I knew

if I couldn’t perform that it was a skill that was already honed and recognized.”

Rand continued to perform but “got heavy into the choreographing and directing” in the early ’90s.

She began choreographing at Broadway star Terrence Mann’s regional theater in North Carolina on and off for two years — it was her first big job. But she’d also worked with Barrett creating choreography for the themepark show at Six Flags.

When Rand first settled here, it had been some time since she had performed, but she dusted off her dance shoes and took the stage with her daughter in The Players’ “A Chorus Line” in February. She also directed the Summer Sizzler, “Stay.”

But, because she had choreographed professionally, she was hoping for something more.

“Jeffery knew that I was interested (in choreographing), so he provided me with this opportunity,” Rand says.

After listening to the music from “Applause,” Rand had a vision. Created by meshing current Broadway choreography and different dance styles, Rand says she took a fresh approach to the musical, which runs Thursday, Sept. 20, through Sept. 30, at The Players.

“It’s not the ‘Applause’ people might know from the ’70s,” she says. “It’s a new take … the choreography is alive, and the staging and directing is hip and current.”

One of most enjoyable elements of choreographing is

spending time with her daughter, who is the dance captain for the show.

“It’s a great way to raise a teenager — to have (the same) passion and do what we love to do,” she says.

Rand hopes to continue working with The Players Theatre in the future.

“They opened the doors, and we’re staying,” Rand says. “We love it here.”
