County discusses Comp Plan Sarasota County staff will meet with two developers to start working out kinks 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 free-form 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.

+ Lost and found The Siesta Key community rallied together over the weekend to reunite a lost dog with his owner. Found running loose in the dark Friday night along Midnight Pass Road and Beach Road, Siesta resident Catherine Luckner rescued the dog. Luckner soon spread the word through email to her friends in hope of helping the finding the lost dog find his way back home. The dog was taken to the Animal Services Center, where he was given some TLC and reunited with his family a day later. Luckner noted that pets often go missing on Siesta Key and that they may want to start a missing pet hotline.

Members of the class of 2013 and the class of 2025 were matched up as buddies for the year and spent the afternoon getting to know one another. This year, there are 24 kindergartners and 53 seniors, all of whom are taking part in the buddy program. The tradition of lunch and playing on the playground is a prelude to convocation Friday, Sept. 21, when the seniors will be celebrated for their leadership.

Crosswalk construction starts this month A Florida Department of Transportation project aimed at improving pedestrian safety on Midnight Pass Road has evolved from raised medians to six crosswalks. Five members of the Sarasota County Fire Department walked into St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church Sept. 17, and they left content. The process took longer than a year, but the Florida Department

of Transportation will start work on new safety features for Siesta Key roads. The six crosswalks that will be constructed on Midnight Pass Road will each include yellow flashing pedestrian signs but won’t have raised “pedestrian is-

FDOT has rejected residents’ pleas to lower the speed limit, however, and reflective chevron signs and flashing warning signs have done little to deter speeders, Bossman said. “It’s our own little drag strip,” Bossman said.

12, was initially proposed, the idea was to have 10 pedestrian islands along the 1.23mile stretch of Midnight Pass Road north of Stickney Point Road, which could have slowed emergency vehicles using the middle lane — especially during season. Two large digital signs on Midnight Pass Road warn of traffic delays starting Sept. 24, when FDOT will start construction of the crosswalks, which FDOT public information liaison Brian Bollas said will cost between $200 and $300 to maintain annually. That upkeep includes new paint and replacing the flashing sign bulbs or reflective bumps on the shoulder of the roadway. Federal funding will pay for the total cost of the road improvement, which engineers estimated to cost about $155,000, Bollas said. There are 60 days of construction slated for the project, and a majority will take place during the day, with one day of work expected during the evening, Bollas said. But, because 30 days of the project’s timeline are devoted to letting the asphalt cure, there will only be construction on the roadway for the first several days and toward the end of the timeline. According to a timeline graphic FDOT presented during the open house, it will take about three weeks to remove and replace existing signage and install the new flashing beacon pedestrian signs; two days to cut into existing asphalt and resurface the crosswalk area; and two days to re-stripe the work zone at the beginning of October. All of the time estimates are weather permitting, Bollas said. Bollas said before the open house that he wasn’t expecting a large turnout because the project was already a “done deal.” But, at least two Siesta residents showed up to check out the plans and ask when another part of Midnight Pass Road would get a similar treatment. “I think the crosswalks are a long time coming,” said Pat Bossman, who lives in Siesta Woods.

Citizens concern

By Alex Mahadevan | News Editor

Siesta condo owners could see rise in insurance A change in Citizens Property Insurance Group’s policies could leave Siesta Key condo owners exposed. Two tropical storms have passed Sarasota County this year prompting two local emergency declarations. But, Siesta Key condominium owners who want to insure their property against wind damage may have to pay as much as triple the premiums they currently pay if covered by Citizens Property Insurance. Siesta Key Condominium Council Vice President Walt Olson recently conducted a survey of 81 condominium associations on the island, comprised of about 7,000 individual units, to determine which buildings would be limited in wind coverage under Citizens’ new policy. He estimates after initial analysis that 45% might have to purchase new insurance. The insurer’s board of directors voted Feb. 23 to restrict coverage to $1 million for associations that rent more than 25% of its occupancy, moving the risk classification from residential to commercial. The Condominium Council Board of Di-

rectors has said during meetings this year that buying further coverage will raise rates by 400% to 500% above levels owners currently pay, Olson said. The study is only a starting point, Olson said. The goal of the condominium council is to target the buildings affected by the new policy and educate associations on how to manage under it. Condominium associations are allowed to change their rental policy before the effective date of Aug. 1, according to documents provided by Olson. One of the suggestions in condominium council documents is to determine how many units need to reduce their rental periods to bring the condominium under the 25% threshold, then require that number of units to rent for periods of one, two and three weeks, then set a 30-day restriction. “I was very pleased,” Olson said of the 85% survey response. “Sometimes you ask yourself, ‘Is anybody reading this stuff?’”

Insurance policy Citizens Property Insurance will no longer insure a condominium for more than $1 million in wind coverage if it has more than 25% transient occupancy. When property inspectors visit a condominium, they might use several cues to determine if there is transient occupancy, or rentals of less than 30 days: • The name of the property includes the word “resort” • There is a registration desk in the lobby for short-term rentals • A commercial laundry facility is on the property • Housekeeping staff is on the premises • The property uses commercial passenger vans

Scientists believe female manatees race to shallow waters to evade males that want to mate.

Mating manatee herd lands on Siesta Mote Marine laboratory staff and volunteers tried to keep onlookers from getting too close to the approximately nine-member herd. When New Jersey resident Mike Czarnecki saw two manatees off of Siesta Key public beach in two feet of seawater last week, he assumed they were dead. “I thought they were beached carcasses,” Czarnecki said. “I thought the other ones were swimming around to help them — but I guess they’re just having a good time.” The males in the herd of at least nine manatees pursued at least one female past the sandbar on Siesta beach and into shallow shore near the private beach access for Tivoli by the Sea Resort. The males wanted to mate, and the female(s) were trying to avoid it, said Mote Marine Laboratory senior biologist Sheri Barton, who works in the manatee research program. “When her (underside) is lying on the bottom, it’s harder for the males to mate with her,” Barton explained in an email. The female can rest on the sandbar and receive fewer passes from suitors, which can’t wriggle to the female’s shallow perch. In the open water, a group of males can overpower a female. The 1,000-pound marine mammals, which scientists say are a distant relative of the elephant, target estrous females, or those receptive to mating. Human disturbance can be even more traumatic than male advances, said Mote Marine staff biologist Emma Jugovich, who

was monitoring the animals Sept. 14, the morning after they were first spotted. Jugovich shooed away several onlookers who waded into the water near the manatees to take pictures. Disturbing the endangered marine mammals is illegal, she explained. Mote Marine works closely with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to protect manatees and had a rotating crew of staff members, interns and volunteers protecting the herd from human contact, but constant surveillance isn’t possible, and there were several reports of violations. Mote Marine staff said there were reports of people putting children on the manatees’ backs and attempting to push them into deeper waters. Humans can be seriously injured when manatees buck and thrash about, Mote Marine scientists explained. The herd was last reported Sept. 18, off Turtle Beach, said Mote Marine Stranding Investigations Program Manager Gretchen Lovewell, but it was gone by the time staff arrived. To report manatee harassment, call the Florida Wildlife Conservation Coalition Wildlife Alert line at 888-404-3922 or Mote Marine Laboratory Stranding Investigations Program at 988-0212.

RARE VISITOR LANDS ON SIESTA

A Pomarine Jaeger, a rare seabird usually found miles offshore, rests on Siesta Key beach during the 2012 International Coastal Cleanup.

The mystery of the manatee herd may have been solved quickly, but an uncommon shorebird spotted during the 2012 International Coastal Cleanup, less than 20 feet from the mating marine mammals, is still being discussed in the Sarasota birding community, said Sandy Ulrikson. Ulrikson, along with her husband, Jerry, participated in the coastal cleanup with First United Methodist Church, in Sarasota. The Ulriksons, who are members of the Sarasota Audubon Society, said during the coastal cleanup they suspected the bird was a Greater Shearwater. After contacting Sarasota Audubon Society President Jeanne Dubi, who investigated the species on Siesta, Ulrikson said in an email it was a Pomarine Jaeger. “It usually stays two to 50 miles offshore in the open ocean,” Ulrikson said.

+ State funds sought for beach renourishment Sarasota County Administrator Randall Reid received approval Sept. 11 from the County Commission to apply for $5.5 million from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for Turtle Beach sand restoration. South Siesta Key is designated as an area of critical erosion by the state, according to a memo from Reid to commissioners. It is eligible for 50% state funding from the Beach Erosion Control budget for the state’s 2013-2014 fiscal year. Revenues collected from tourist-development taxes, fees charged on short-term room rentals, will provide the remaining $6 million needed for the project, according to the 2013 fiscal year budget. Tropical Storm Debby caused roughly $5 million in erosion damage to Turtle Beach in late June, according to Sarasota County coastal engineer Weiqi Lin. The beach was last renourished in 2007.

CUTS / FROM PAGE 1A 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 runup in building prices before the market crash. Before the meeting, Commissioner Joe Barbetta asked for an update on the Lakewood Ranch Villages South, a development that has been in bureaucratic limbo for a year. Staff began preparing for the afternoon meeting session a list of eight major correspondences with the developer, Schroeder-Manatee Ranch Inc., which began Sept. 8, 2011.

Updated data The changing economics and demographics of Sarasota County and the U.S. is one of the reasons Sarasota County Public Works staff started discussions with the County Commission about updating impact-fee systems. Also, Commissioner Joe Barbetta noted that state statutes require impact fees to use the most recent available data. Public Works Planning General Manager Clarke Davis said some of the data driving the way the county charges impact fees is from 2006 or earlier. Charging development taxes to current builders based on construction costs from 2006, for example, can cause a different outcome than what had originally been desired.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2012

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have needed to have this discussion for a long time,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two sentences in the Sarasota County 2050 Comprehensive Plan that are major roadblocks for business interests on Siesta Key,â&#x20AC;? Ramirez said during a phone interview. Policies 1.1.2 and 3.1.1 of the 2050 Comprehensive Planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future Land Use chapter prevent the possibility of building a high-rise hotel on Siesta by banning the increase of density and preventing new commercial zoning on barrier islands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a vision; the problem is whose vision are we going to go with,â&#x20AC;? Ramirez said. Patterson, a 30-year Siesta resident, said she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t oppose a hotel on the island if it com-

plied with the current Comprehensive Plan. And, after experience on the City Commission and the County Commission working through growth-management changes, said she is reticent to crack into the 1,300page document. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went through the same process with the county, and there were a lot of glitches and a lot of things put in place unintentionally,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I approach the idea of going through the whole Comprehensive Plan with some concern.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather get rid of the whole thing, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have support,â&#x20AC;? Barbetta said during the meeting. Patterson said the discussion that the plan had grown out of nearly 10 years earlier had more community input. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The philosophy behind (the 2050 Comprehensive Plan) was part of a very hotly debated community discussion,â&#x20AC;? 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 realestate 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 com-

mercial 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.

Siesta Key prepares City commission approves ticket late-fee increase for its holiday parade Fees will increase for drivers who wait to pay their parking tickets, but those who pay promptly will receive a $5 discount.

With two months remaining before the celebration, SKVA members finalize their plans. Members of the Siesta Key Village Association met in the offices of Cheryl Gaddie Designs and Smith Architects Thursday, Sept. 13, for their first official meeting to plan the Nov. 24 Light Up the Village holiday festivities and parade. During the first portion of the meeting, attendees were divided into committees to appropriately distribute the work required to prepare for the annual celebration, which was revived two years ago. Committees were organized by marketing; lights and entertainment; luminary; signs and gazebo decoration; parade organization; and parking-lot duties. Tasks assigned to the committees included acquiring a donated or sponsored Christmas tree, creating sponsorship packages, contacting performers, decorating the Village with lights, finalizing the parade route, acquiring permits for road closures and finding a Santa Claus. Members also discussed issues of logistics and safety, such as which float will carry Santa and where the post-parade performers should be located. The biggest concern expressed by all attendees was continuing efforts to secure live entertainment by local groups, such as the Riverview High School Kiltie Band, as well as confirming more parade participants. Other entertainment prospects included the Sarasota Pipe Band, the Siesta Key Beach drum circle, circus performers

and tae kwon do demonstrations. As in years past, a county fire truck, as well as a vintage one owned by a SKVA member, will add some flair to the parade. The parade procession will begin at 5:40 p.m., and its tentative route will follow Beach Road from Avenida Del Mare north to Ocean Boulevard into the Village, before Santa will dismount his float at Siesta Key Plaza and hand out candy and gift bags to kick off the Light Up the Village festivities. The group hopes to have between 25 and 30 floats participating in the parade, and the committees will work individually on their assigned tasks until the next meeting Oct. 4. The committee encourages anyone interested in submitting a float to contact Cheryl Gaddie at 346-7401.

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, parkingticket 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. 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.

File photo

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

“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.

+ 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.”

Is she Grace? Is she Franklyn? DMV says neither Is your name John, but all your friends call you Jack? Tough. Is your name Elizabeth, and your friends call you Betty? And that’s what’s on your driver’s license? Too bad. You’re in trouble. My wife, being a Southerner by birth, was named after her maternal grandparents. Both names, Grace and Franklyn (her grandfather was Franklin, but they made the name feminine by change the “i” to a “y”), are on her birth certificate. Although she was given both names, she has always gone by the single name of Franklyn. Unfortunately, when she went to acquire her Social Security card, it issued the card with only her first and last name on it. Thus, while she was Franklyn to family and friends, she became Grace to the U.S. government. When in Paris on our honeymoon, the U.S. embassy amended her passport from Grace Noll to Franklyn Skidmore, and all subsequent passports and driver’s licenses have been issued in those names. But the trouble started with Medicare. Because of the way her Social Security card was worded, her doctors and our pharmacy know her as Grace. When she went this week, under the new state rules, to have her Florida driver’s license renewed, she had, as requested, her passport (Franklyn), her Social Security card (Grace), her

marriage certificate (Grace Franklyn) and her soon-tobe-expired driver’s license (Franklyn). She asked that her driver’s license, which had been issued to her by that exact same office, be renewed as it had previously been issued — Franklyn. The Department of Motor Vehicles said no, because she might not be Franklyn, instead, she might really be Grace, a sister. She then asked if it could be issued in the name of Grace, and it again said no; she might be someone named Franklyn. Pointing to the marriage certificate, which had both names, she said that indicated Grace and Franklyn were not sisters but were one and the same person (at least to the city of New York). Way too confusing for the DMV. Its solution? It told her to go away and bring better proof as to whom she really is. I hope James “Jimmy” Carter’s and Willard “Mitt” Romney’s driver’s licenses aren’t due to expire before Nov. 6. They might not be able to vote. The same problems might be coming in the future for you or thousands of other people who have second names or nicknames on any of the required documents. Or if, heaven forbid, you misplaced one or more of them in one of the last five or 10 moves. Rodger Skidmore lives on Siesta Key.

12:16 p.m. — 5300 block of Siesta Court. Residential Burglary. A woman called police to report that her seasonal neighbor’s sliding pool bathroom door was wide open, and she suspected the house had been burglarized. Officers found that someone had cut through a screen to access the door and opened the door with ease, because the owner had left the key to the deadbolt in the lock. The neighbor and police walked through the house and didn’t notice any missing items. They noted the residence looked neat and undisturbed.

Deputies investigating the scene could only find tire tracks showing the suspect’s getaway path and noted that several anthills were disturbed by the vehicle’s tires and had yet to be rebuilt. A laser, a battery pack and a saw were reported missing, and officers took pictures of a size 9 1/2 boot print near the scene.

6:29 a.m. — 5100 block of Oxford Drive. Petit Theft. Two neighbors reported that their political signs were stolen from their front yards. The men told police four Obama/ Biden signs valued at $5 each were taken.

He told deputies that it looked like the front bumper of his navy blue Volvo had been kicked in, and the hood of the vehicle had deep dents, which may have been caused by someone pounding on it with their fists or dancing on the vehicle. The man asked a neighboring restaurant for video from a surveillance camera in the parking lot.

Friends and family hang 10 for autism awareness More than 70 children channeled their inner surfer dudes and dudettes at the third Hang 10 for Autism surf event Saturday, Sept. 15, at Siesta Key Public Beach. Experienced surfers volunteered to work one-onone with children, ranging in age from 3 to 17, who have been diagnosed with a form of autism. The Center for Autism Research and Education, or C.A.R.E., organized the event. The nonprofit helps families in Sarasota and Bradenton dealing with autism by offering specialized training, group therapy, support groups and a community-resource focused library. Brooke Decillis, 5, jumps off a surfboard.

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

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

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.” Contact Jen Blanco at jblanco@yourobserver.com.

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.”

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.

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. I’ll provide a link on my Facebook page, Mallory Gnaegy (Observer).

Rand’s Rundown: Best overall production she’s ever seen: “Young Frankenstein” on Broadway in 2008 Show she would love to choreograph: “Bye Bye Birdie” Favorite show she’s choreographed: “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” Favorite show in which she’s performed: a national tour of “Guys and Dolls” A show she hasn’t seen but wants to: “In the Heights” Show she’s most looking forward to during Sarasota’s upcoming season: “Sideshow” at The Players Theatre

“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.”
