Residents protest Benderson project About 100 residents have signed a petition. Benderson Development Co. still needs a zoning change before it can start construction.

A group of residents in four communities near a Benderson Development Co. commercial development, at the corner of Fruitville and Beneva roads, has banded together to start a petition against the project.

Residents from the neighboring communities, including Fair-

way Oaks, which is closest to the proposed project, Glen Oaks Estates, Glen Oaks Manor and Oakwood Manor started the petition against the project last month.

As of April 5, an estimated 100 residents had signed the petition, said Joyce Burnham, a 19year resident at Fairway Oaks

Condominiums. Each community is made up of about 200 residences. The petition is circulating and will continue to gain signatures. Residents organizing the petition plan to bring the signatures to the City Commission.

“There are a lot of people who are upset about this,”

Burnham said.

Burnam’s back door is about 30 feet from the property line of the 11 city-owned acres of park space that would be cleared for Benderson’s development if the City Commission gives final approval.

In August, the City Commission rejected a $3 million of

Coutelle has high hopes for the small commercial area six blocks north of Main Street, and that’s why he and his wife, Gerladine, are opening the café at 1419 Fifth St. “It’s going to bloom,” Coutelle

said about the Rosemary District.

Even as Derek’s Culinary Casual announced it planned to relocate from the Rosemary District to Bradenton, the area is showing some signs that it is still open for business. In addition to the Lolita Tartine, the Blue Rooster, a live-music

BENDERSON / FROM PAGE 1A fer from Commodore Realty to purchase the highly visible parcel, with three of five commissioners instead approving a $1.45 million contract with Benderson, which is proposing to build a commercial project on the land. Commissioners Suzanne Atwell, Paul Caragiulo and Terry Turner approved the contract and sales agreement with Benderson.

The contract with Benderson, however, is not final because it is contingent on three changes: a lengthy Comprehensive Plan amendment; a rezone from government zoning to commercial general district; and de-designating the space a city park so it can be developed.

“This is so far from a done deal,” Mayor Suzanne Atwell said at a candidate forum April 8.

The Planning Board is scheduled to vote on the three changes in May or June.

A denial of any three of the changes would thwart the development. Because of the timing, the two top vote-getters in the May 14 City Commission runoff would vote on the changes when the issue comes to the City Commission. The Comprehensive Plan change has to be approved by a super-majority City Commission vote.

The City Commission will also hold two

ROSEMARY / FROM PAGE 1A In an email March 27 to the restaurant’s customer base, Derek’s owner/executive chef Derek Barnes cited a lack of progress in the Rosemary District — which has long been slated for redevelopment but saw businesses close or leave the area as a result of the downturn in the economy — as a main impetus for relocating.

But Coutelle sees things differently in the north-of-downtown district. He thinks positive changes are coming, albeit slowly.

“I think it is really the future,” Coutelle said.

A recent city project to add 100 on-street

public hearings, starting in July, to consider the changes, said City Planner Steve Stancel.

“We definitely plan to participate in those public hearings,” said Renee Gluvna, a Glen Oaks Estates resident who signed the petition against the Benderson project.

Although residents of those communities, in past years and in different situations, have protested separate proposals to build basketball courts on the Bobby Jones executive golf course and a project to construct affordable housing on the same course, the four adjoining communities have not previously

worked together.

The site is currently comprised of a city park, county firefighter training facility, retention pond and large drainage ditch.

The park is unrefined, with only one bike path through the middle and no other amenities. Although the park is commonly called Fruitville Road Park, there are no signs designating the name, but there is one posted sign warning the park closes at 11 p.m. The park offers live oak trees and greenery. Also, area residents commonly walk their dogs there, and children play in the park.

Burnham wants the city to reject the Benderson project and build a fitness

pathway and put in some park benches.

For Burnham, the park is an oasis in between two, busy four-lane roads.

“How can a huge shopping center not impact our lives?” Burnham said.

Only two public parks are close by, including the county’s dog park at 4720 17th St. and a small city park with a children’s playground south of Fruitville.

Burnham is also upset that specific details of the Benderson project remain unknown. Even though the city has filed for a rezone, Benderson has not submitted a site plan or preliminary plans yet.

A representative from Benderson is scheduled to meet with city officials April 15.

“I would like to see some kind of plans, and I haven’t seen anything yet,” Burnham said.

In addition to a zoning change, which would require a lengthy Comprehensive Plan amendment, the developer would have to file plans to fill in and reroute a drainage ditch.

The deep-sided drainage ditch currently cuts through the property and feeds into Phillippi Creek and eventually Little Sarasota Bay. Benderson Development Co. representatives did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story.

parking spaces is one of the positive changes, Coutelle said.

As more businesses like Lolita Tartine and the Blue Rooster open, the district’s proximity to Main Street, combined with the availability of parking, will make the area a draw for residents and tourists, Coutelle said.

Improvements will happen “block by block,” Coutelle said.

Once open, the café on Fifth Street will offer fresh bread, sandwiches and prepared gourmet meals. Coutelle, who owns the downtown C’est La Vie with his wife, wants Lolita Tartine to be a place where working professionals and artists from the area can grab a quick breakfast or lunch or gather for

longer.

Several properties have changed ownership recently in the district, a sign that developers are keen on building in Rosemary — including residential and mixed-use projects — said commercial real-estate broker John Harshman.

“I would think it is safe to say within two years, there will be some more residential in the Rosemary District,” Harshman said. Rosalyne Holdings LLC, is one of the investors interested in Rosemary.

On April 1, the company purchased a 6.5acre parcel of land for $4.5 million.

Rosalyne is considering the development of residential rental apartments on the

site, which runs along Cocoanut Avenue, between Boulevard of the Arts and 10th Street. Rosalyne Holdings is part of Longboat Enterprises LLC, a venture of Bruce Weiner, a Sarasota resident who also owns Florida Classic Car Storage on Central Avenue. Harshman represented the buyer in the sale.

Sarasota’s growth north is a natural progression, said real-estate broker Ian Black, whose office is located in the Rosemary District.

“I’ve said this for years,” Black said. “Sarasota can’t go west, and it can’t really go east, and it can’t go south. There is only one place it can go.”

FAILED REFERENDUM

SKA takes on parking concerns BID will ask

by Katie Hendrick | Staff Writer

The group has offered to support no-parking signs and will consider changes to the Siesta Key Overlay District.

Hulking tractor-trailers regularly stop to unload supplies to restaurants and convenience stores along Ocean Boulevard.

Record bed-tax numbers show business is booming in Siesta Key Village, which means more deliveries, fewer parking spaces and a renewed strain on nearby residential properties.

Because of the increasing frustrations, the Siesta Key Association has stepped in on behalf of residents to study ways to mitigate the negative impact of commercial activity on the island, such as overflow parking that blocks neighborhood driveways and lane blockages during truck deliveries.

Siesta Key Association President Catherine Luckner will address the subject April 15, during a Siesta Key Presidents Council meeting.

The Siesta Key Association voted unanimously April 4, to send a letter to Sarasota County commissioners in support of no-parking signs on Avenida de Mayo and examining alternatives to solve lane blockages semi-truck deliveries cause on Village streets.

Siesta Key Association board member

Deet Jonker said he also wants to include parked landscaping trucks on Cape Leyte in Siesta Isles, as another safety hazard for SKA to consider. The two-lane road can become a one-lane obstacle course when seasonal residents return and park on the street, along with landscaping trailers.

The group will also consider trucks unloading on Avenida Messina, which SKA member Diane Erne said makes it nearly impossible to use the road to get to her condominium, which is on the west side of Ocean Boulevard.

“It’s embedded in the larger question: Where are we as a Village and an overlay district,” Luckner said.

The Siesta Key Overlay District binds all members of island organizations, including the Siesta Key Village Association and the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce.

The document provides additional zoning restrictions to maintain a Village feel and promote pedestrian life.

But, recent and future developments, such as a Benderson Development retail expansion on Ocean Boulevard and new restaurant Eat Here, expand parking needs required in SKOD. Eat Here needed to secure a parking

agreement with nearby merchants to turn a retail store into a restaurant last fall. And the Beach Club recently renovated to include a bar at the front of the nightclub.

Restaurants can make deals with adjacent property owners who are open during different hours or use a valet company to meet parking needs after an expansion. The parking ordinance applies differently to valet businesses and allows stacked parking.

“There may be a necessary moratorium (on development),” said SKA President Catherine Luckner during the meeting.

The group will organize meetings with Sarasota County staff to develop recommended changes to ordinances that regulate island activity. SKA Secretary Peter van Roekens said lack of enforcement should be addressed, along with the current ordinances.

The County Commission was hesitant to add a full-time code enforcement officer during the 2013 fiscal year, and, instead, it added 15 hours of overtime work. Island code-enforcement veteran John Lally returned in April from medical leave, adding more support to complaint investigations.

“It’s not just a residential issue, it affects the people who work there, too,” Luckner said.

Sports Page considers new location If the city approves an exemption and conditional-use application, the bar’s old granite bar top will be moved into the new space.

The owners of the downtown Sports Page Bar & Grille are eying a new home, but most likely won’t be moving into the space for four to six months.

Co-owners Kenny Barr and Bob Richards have found a possible new space for the sports bar and restaurant at 1459 and 1461 Main St., less than three blocks east of its previous location at 1319 Main St. The new space includes two addresses — both of which were home to Super Value Nutrition, which moved last year to The Landings. Barr estimates it will take about two months and $100,000 to renovate the interior of the space. After Super Value moved out, a restaurant owner had planned to occupy the space but never did.

The new space is 3,200 square feet, which is 800 square feet smaller than the iconic Sports Page on lower Main Street.

But, the new location, in the middle of the 1400 block of Main Street, “will work out,” Barr said. Barr said he doesn’t view nearby restaurants and clubs, such as Café Americano, Club Ivory, Patellini’s Pizza and Mattison’s City Grille, as competition.

In fact, he thinks those establishments bring more traffic to the area, which will be good for the new Sports Page.

The bar and grill’s previous Main Street location closed Monday, April 8. The Sports Page Bar & Grille, along with Living Walls, are two Main Street landmarks that will be demolished next month to make way for The Jewel, a 17-story luxury condo tower.

Over the past few months, Barr and Richards had been seeking a new home for the bar and grill, and last month they FIRST STREET

Possible new Sports Page location 1459-61 Main Street

The Sports Page Bar & Grille wants to stay on Main Street and is working with the owner of 1459 and 1461 Main St. to possibly lease the spaces. settled on the former Super Value space.

A quick move to the new Main Street location hit a snag, however, when city officials told Barr and Richards they would have to apply for an exemption to a city ordinance regulating liquor licenses. That ordinance prohibits two bars opening within 500 feet of each other. Smokin’ Joes Pub is across the street at 1448 Main St., and Ivory Lounge nightclub is located at 1413 Main St. Barr is confident the Sports Page will get the exemption for the new location, but the process could take up to six months, and the City Commission has final approval of the exemption.

“There is a history of (the city) giving these exemptions,” Barr said. “In the last three years, they have given four of them.”

Both the bar and liquor store also require a conditional-use application with the city.

For both of these processes, “a timeframe of four to six months is realistic,” wrote Gretchen Schnieder, general manager of planning and development for the city, in a March 28 email to the deputy city manager.

The sliver of good news, Barr said, is the property owner of the space at 1459 and 1461 Main St. is willing to wait the four to

six months for Sports Page to secure the necessary approval from the city.

On Tuesday, April 9, Bruce Franklin, a planner representing Sports Page, met with City Manager Tom Barwin and City Commissioner Paul Caragiulo.

Barwin outlined the process the owners would have to follow for the exemption and conditional-use applications.

“There is a feeling of cooperation,” Franklin said after the meeting Tuesday.

“City staff wants to help us get through the process.”

If the city approves the exemption and conditional-use application, Barr and Richards will begin moving into the new space, bringing along the bar top that was a fixture at 1319 Main St. “It’s granite and really nice,” Barr said.

Barr said the four- to six-month time frame means he has to part ways with the current staff, many who worked at the Sports Page for 10 or more years.

“We would like to employ all of them, but they can’t wait six months to go to work,” Barr said.

Staff has been kept up to date on what has been happening, Barr said, and he would like some of the staff to come back to work for the bar and grille when it reopens.

for another vote for an extension

Board members request that new ballots be sent by certified mail to improve response rate for another 10-year extension.

St. Armands Circle Business Improvement District Chairman Marty Rappaport was so confident a 10-year extension of the St. Armands Business Improvement District was going to pass he had already lined up a meeting with the city of Sarasota’s parking division manager to discuss ways to alleviate the Circle’s parking woes.

It turns out Rappaport will have to cancel the meeting.

At the Monday, April 8 BID meeting at Sarasota City Hall, Rappaport announced the extension of the St. Armands Business Improvement District failed to receive adequate landowner approval to pass.

Only 34 of the 65 landowners returned their ballots by the April 2 deadline (one of which omitted a required witness’ signature). Landowners who return ballots must own more than 50% of the assessed property value within the district for the extension to be approved.

Rappaport called the results “a total surprise” during the BID meeting.

The problem, Rappaport said, was not disapproval of the BID. Instead, nearly half of the landowners didn’t get to vote: 28 of the ballots came back to the Sarasota City Auditor and Clerk’s Office stamped “not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward.”

“An error was made,” Rappaport said.

“The ballots should have been sent certified.”

Stakeholders — landowners, merchants and residents — have commended the BID, a special taxing district that St. Armands Circle property owners voted to create in 2003, to help pay for Circle improvements. Among their achievements: new street lighting, repaired sidewalks, sitting areas with landscaping and up lighting and Bose speakers providing music.

“The Circle has enjoyed more capital improvements and promotion within the last 10 years than it has since the formation of St. Armands Circle by John Ringling in 1926,” Rappaport said. “We still have many more goals, which have had full support of all stakeholders.”

BID board member Gavin Meshad made a motion that the BID’s attorney, Sam Norton, approach Sarasota city attorney Robert Fournier with a request that ballots be sent again with return receipt requested, as well as an educational insert about the BID. Though there has been no precedence of a re-vote, BID board members expressed optimism.

Rappaport plans to speak at the May 20 City Commission meeting about the negative consequences for St. Armands Circle should the BID expire. He requested St. Armands merchants and residents attend to show support.

Diane Corrigan, director of the St. Armands Circle Association, told Rappaport she and her merchants are “100% behind the BID.” If the revote is allowed, “I will call every single landlord urging them to vote,” she said. “This is that important.”

Jim Grace, vice president of the St. Armands Residents Association, echoed Corrigan’s support.

“We residents want to see this work out,” he said. “Our interests dovetail with yours and Circle improvements have ramifications on us.”

NEWSBRIEFS + Candidates reinforce their stance on issues at CONA forum With a little more than a month left until the May 14 City Commission runoff election, the three candidates participated in a forum Monday, April 8.

During the bulk of the forum, hosted

by Sarasota Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), Suzanne Atwell, Susan Chapman and Richard Dorfman answered specific questions posed to each individual candidate.

The questions focused on park benches downtown; the pros and cons of an elected mayor; redevelopment on the North Trail; fractional leadership and environmental protection in the city. There were also questions about Walmart and density downtown.

Moderator Kafi Benz asked Suzanne Atwell to justify her vote to remove park benches downtown.

“Look, no one wants to go to a park where there are no benches,” Atwell said.

“This reached a critical situation for us — all five of us (commissioners). People were saying, ‘You can’t come after the theater and sit down. We had to do something.

“Will I put the benches back? I say yes,” Atwell added. “I don’t know when.”

In response to a question about bringing business to Sarasota, Dorfman said he has heard from business owners who want to invest on the North Trail if the city supports redevelopment.

“Some have expressed interest in putting rental housing on the North Trail,” Dorfman said. “One talked about putting a Starbucks on the North Trail. Sixtythousand cars a day, and we don’t have a Starbucks on the North Trail. If you can believe it.”

Chapman was asked about the perceived

Chapman cited her work to reach a compromise between neighbors and Sarasota Memorial Hospital on a power plant at the hospital’s campus as one example of her ability to build consensus.

But Chapman said she is proud she has stood up for residents on tough issues.

“I am not ashamed I have been a strong advocate for people in this community,” Chapman said.

Throughout the forum, the candidates reinforced their previous stance on the big issues and described their political approach if they are elected.

amendment that would allow tandemfparking at certain developments built on Golden Gate Point.

If approved, the change would allow developers to include tandem parking — where two stacked cars park front bumper to back bumper to use less parking space — for projects that meet several specific criteria. The development, for example, must be capped at 50 feet in height and a maximum of four stories. Currently, projects on the 22-acre island near downtown can be built up to 90 feet in height.

City Commissioner Paul Caragiulo said the initiative is designed to encourage more compact residential building on smaller parcels on the island.

“This is an incentive for developers to build smaller properties, so that we aren’t pouring concrete into every last space,” Caragiulo said.

According to the proposed amendment, the tandem parking must be located on the development’s property and not on the street. Residential development may utilize tandem parking for same-unit parking only.

Beginning now, and continuing into summer, the Patterson Foundation is asking community organizations to collaborate with one another to use their existing activities and events to inform people of the military and veteran activities in Sarasota and honor our servicemen and women.

During a celebration luncheon Friday, April 5, the Patterson Foundation announced the first 17 community partnerships, including the Sarasota Chalk Festival, which will adopt a Legacy of Valor theme next year; the Sarasota Film Festival, which will incorporate an “Acts of Valor” film series; the Ringling Museum, which will host a photo exhibition; and Sarasota Military Academy, which will continue its “Wreaths Across America” campaign.

Jacobs says the campaign will not only honor veterans, but also fit in with the Patterson Foundation’s mission to create partnerships and collaborations within the community.

fire in the dunes

THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 2013

by Alex Mahadevan | News Editor

Plover nesting season is off to a rough start From fire to fire ants, and predators to vandals, the dunes on Siesta Key beach have been a hazard to the threatened species.

Indigestion can be a heart attack in disguise.

Not recogNiziNg the differeNce could be fatal.

Informational signs on Siesta Key Beach warn against disturbing shorebirds.

Penalties for malicious acts against snowy plovers can result in up to $50,000 in fines and one year in prison under the Endangered Species Act. Even a poor football toss that disturbs a nesting area can result in up to six months in jail or $15,000 in fines, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services website.

The vandalism and fire incidents occurred within weeks of each other.

“They may have just been totally unrelated events,” Luckner said.

Sgt. John Walsh said during an April 4 SKA meeting the fire was likely accidental, and a discarded cigarette could have started it. But, the stake-removal incident required effort.

Osborne said there were no leads on that incident as of April 10, but the Sheriff’s Office will provide extra patrols to known nesting areas through the end of nesting season.

“There’s nothing about that area that should be upsetting to anybody,” Luckner said. “That’s what worried us — it didn’t seem like normal spring break behavior.”

Snowy plover nesting season began midMarch, and volunteers tasked with protecting the birds have already faced hurdles.

A fire broke out the last week of March on the north end of Siesta Key beach. And the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating vandalism to a special buffer volunteers placed on about a quarter-acre of dunes, said Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Scott Osborne, an island law-enforcement veteran.

Sarasota County Natural Resources and FWC provided funds for buffering, and the volunteers installed stakes 12 inches deep in the sand, ran twine around the area and erected signs. The unknown suspects took all of the signs.

Members of the Sarasota Audubon Society, who patrol the beach weekly to identify snowy plovers, have already spotted two pairs of snowy plovers exhibiting nesting behavior, said Siesta Key Association President Catherine Luckner.

“We do have a nest in a vulnerable spot,” she said.

Unlike sea turtles, snowy plover eggs are exposed if left unattended by their mother.

Raccoons and opossums are predators that overflowing trashcans can attract to beach accesses. Last year, about 30 volunteers watched as a crow swoop down and fly away with a plover chick, Luckner said.

According to Ruth Ellen Peipert, board member with the Sarasota Audubon, in 2012, there were 12 confirmed plover nest documented on Siesta Key. According to Luckner, only one documented chick survived through adulthood last year.

HEAD ABOVE WATER

by Nick Friedman | Community Editor

Super Boat Grand Prix decision good news for charities The Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix is more than a Fourth of July tradition and local economic booster — many area children’s programs also rely on the money it nets.

But this year, the future of the 29-year-old race was called into question, along with the money its host organization, Suncoast Charities for Children, uses to support these children’s charities.

The Grand Prix was once Suncoast Charities for Children’s largest fundraiser, but, in recent years, the charity has struggled to keep the offshore boat race profitable. Declines in donations and in-kind services, combined with increased race-related expenses,

have caused net earnings to drop by 41% since 2010. As a result, the charity remained roughly $45,000 short of the funding needed to host the race.

But, an April 9 County Commission decision to cover the $79,200 race sanction fee from tourist development tax funds will allow the race to take place as originally scheduled. Also approved were in-kind services up to $3,500 and a sports marketing grant from the Sarasota County Sports Commission of $15,000.

Commissioners also decided to include the race sanction fee in next year’s budget.

Festival organizer Lucy Nicandri says the decision comes as

good news for both the community and Suncoast Charities, which will now be able to give more money to its children’s organizations.

“The biggest expense is funding the race,” says Nicandri. “By budgeting for the race next year, we can plan better, and when we produce the other events, those sponsorships can go directly to the charities.”

Suncoast Charities for Children, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves special-needs children and their families in Sarasota, Venice and North Port, uses its various fundraisers, such as Thunder by the Bay and the Grand Prix, to build and maintain facilities for

local special-needs children’s agencies. In the last 28 years, the charity has donated $14 million for the construction of facilities for six local agencies.

Nicandri says the commission’s decision was the result of both public outreach and a desire to keep the race in Sarasota.

With the race back on schedule, Nicandri says Suncoast Charities for Children will be able to continue to maintain and support the charity facilities it has helped build.

“We’ve been a safety net for (charities),” she says. “If we were unable to provide this money, they would definitely see an impact.”

100 years of income taxes Hmm, that’s funny. No one is celebrating.

As the annual Day of Tyranny approaches, the dreaded April 15 Tax Day, on this 100th year anniversary of the personal income tax, it’s fitting to remind ourselves of its heritage — who did it, how it came about and why.

And perhaps when you have finished digesting this sorry tale of misguided political and legislative populism, you may become a convert to the flat tax if you haven’t already — or even more so if you already are.

Let’s start with the Founding Fathers.

They barred the income tax in the Constitution of 1789. The Americans of that time would not have stood for anything of the kind. After all, they had beaten all the king’s horses and all the king’s men in the previous decade over a measly tax on tea.

And when you read the Constitution, the third item in Article I, Section 2 says: “Representatives and direct taxes (emphasis added) shall be apportioned among the several States … according to their respective Numbers …”

That is, Congress was saying that when it comes to taxes, they could be levied on the basis of population — everyone should be taxed equally, i.e. “all men are created equal.”

There was nothing in the Constitution about levying taxes on anyone’s property or on the basis of how much you owned or earned.

In those days and up to the Civil War, the Founders satisfied themselves with funding the government through tariffs on imports and excise taxes, the latter being levies on such things that are consumed — whiskey, tobacco and sugar, to name a few. But even excise taxes were eliminated from 1817 to the Civil War. But when the war persisted, President Abraham Lincoln needed money. To skirt the Constitution, Lincoln and a few congressmen justified an income tax as an excise tax. Lincoln signed the first income tax into law in 1862.

It called for a flat 3% tax on net income greater than $600 a year, which few citizens could claim. The government collected the tax by asking for honesty, asking citizens to declare their income and publish it in newspapers, with the idea public opinion would compel honesty.

It didn’t work so swell. Two years later, Lincoln instituted the discriminating concept of the graduated income tax — the more you earn the more you are punished and pay — thus casting off the Founders’ doctrine that all men are created equal and, if taxed, should be taxed equally.

Miraculously, to the credit of Congress after the Civil War, they lived up to their promise that the income tax was temporary and instituted only to help pay for the war.

In 1872, Congress abolished the personal income tax.

Rise of class warfare

In the 25 years after the Civil War, the U.S. economy went through booms and busts, brought on by inflationary printing of money, federal government subsidies for the railroads and land grants and high tariffs that protected Eastern manufacturers.

These policies helped fuel the rise of poor Westerners versus wealthy Easterners — the rich railroad owners, oil-company owners and domestic manufacturers who benefited from high tariffs that limited competition, resulting in rising prices on consumer goods. You could predict what followed: the rise of class warfare.

In 1893, the United States sank into its worst depression in its history. President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, faced 18% unemployment. To help struggling Americans, Cleveland campaigned for lower tariffs and a corporate income tax.

Congress complied. And in the process and amid controversy, Congress also adopted a 2% personal income tax. Opponents immediately challenged the tax, and the Supreme Court in 1893 ruled it unconstitutional.

Congress came back again with the tax in 1894, and again a year later the Supreme

Court ruled it unconstitutional.

By this time, however, class warfare gained increasing momentum. William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic Party presidential candidate and wellknown 1890s and early 1900s populist, was the most outspoken advocate for Midwest farmers versus the moneyed Eastern elite.

Said Bryan in one speech: “Gentlemen have denounced the income tax as class legislation because it will affect more people in one section of the country than in another … If New York and Massachusetts pay more tax under this law than other states, it will be because they have more taxable incomes within their borders.

And why should not those sections pay most which enjoy most?”

Through the administrations of Republican Presidents William McKinley (18971901) and Teddy Roosevelt (1901-1909), especially through Roosevelt, the American tenor continued to shift toward an increasingly intervening federal government and rising populism.

Democrats tried to bring back the income tax, fueling public sentiment that Republicans were the party of the rich.

Roosevelt would not embrace their efforts, but he acknowledged the federal government should be used to regulate business (i.e. bust trusts) to insure social justice and economic opportunity. He said this was necessary to stave off socialism; if he didn’t intervene, he believed, citizens would turn to more extreme measures.

The trick on Republicans

After Roosevelt decided not to run for a third term in 1908, he essentially annointed

President William H. Taft

The man to thank for the income tax William Howard Taft not only holds the distinction as the president who let the income tax become law. He also was the largest president: more than 6 feet tall and more than 300 pounds (a special bathtub had to be made in the White House to accommodate him).

Regarded as warm-hearted and kind, Taft, like many politicians, wanted to be liked. He enjoyed baseball, starting the tradition of presidents throwing out the first pitch in the first game of the World Series. He is also credited with initiating the seventh-inning stretch.

For good reason. He wasn’t physically active. He typically ate a dozen eggs, a pound of bacon and mounds of pancakes for breakfast, leaving him sluggish for most of the morning.

Taft seldom took initiative in legislative matters and wasn’t regarded as a strong leader or decisive. When he took steps to lower tariff rates, he let fellow Republicans in Congress manhandle him, adding 847 amendments to his legislation.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CENTURY MAKES The following show the personal income-tax rates adjusted for inflation.

As you can see, originally, the tax was meant to “soak the rich.”

Republican William Howard Taft as his successor.

Taft opposed the personal income tax, but he played to populism in speeches, saying income taxes may be acceptable “in principle.” What he preferred were two other populist proposals: a corporate income tax and lowering tariffs. By this time, more and more middle-class consumers had realized that high tariffs were enriching a few at the expense of the middle class.

In April 1909, congressional Democrats decided to force the Republicans publicly to oppose an income tax. They introduced yet another income-tax bill, expecting the usual Republican opposition. But much to their surprise, an increasingly liberal Roosevelt and a growing group of liberal Republicans announced their support of the bill. Suddenly, it looked as if the bill had the votes to pass.

Taft and influential Sens. Nelson W. Alrich of Rhode Island and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts thought they could outmaneuver the Democrats and Republicans. They said they would support an income tax but only if it were adopted as a constitutional amendment. They believed the states would never ratify it.

On June 16, 1909, Taft sent a message to Congress recommending passage of a constitutional amendment to legalize a federal income tax. He would rue the day.

The votes in the Senate and House to adopt the 16th Amendment were overwhelmingly in support: 77-0 in the Senate, 318-14 in the House.

Soak the rich?

On to the states for ratification. The income tax was sold as a measure to soak the rich. Only the rich were to pay it, and the rates were nominal — 1% for married couples earning up $20,000, 7% for those earning up to $500,000. Adjusted for inflation, in 2012 dollars that would be 1% on incomes up to $463,826 and 7% up to incomes greater than $11.59 million — clearly for the 1%-ers.

Over the next three years, 42 state legislatures ratified the amendment. On Feb. 12, 1913, it became embedded in law as the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — just as Taft finished as president.

Many Americans at the time thought the ratification of the income tax was tax reform. In fact, it was a revolution — one for which they, no doubt, did not realize the consequences to come.

Look at the table above. No longer does the tax soak only the rich. It soaks everyone. What’s more, the income tax has put at the government’s disposal the ability to confiscate more money and wealth than a feudal king could ever have dreamed.

Is it any wonder no one is celebrating?

if you don’t have flood insurance, your home and valuables are not covered in the event of rising water?

Republican Women’s Club catches up on summer looks The Republican Women’s Club of Sarasota met for its monthly luncheon Friday, April 5, at Michael’s On East. The luncheon was accompanied with a fashion show debuting all the hottest looks of summer.

Whether the water is creeping up to your home from a hard rain or a severe weather system, rising water in your home is NOT covered by your homeowner’s policy.

Flood Insurance is affordable and more important than ever.

SARASOTA Observer

Every year, at the peak of tourist season, Siesta Key Village bustles with a curious crowd browsing crafts and fine art during Siesta Fiesta. What started as a juried fineart show 41 years ago to attract visitors to the sleepy Siesta Key Village has now blossomed into a large-scale annual street party featuring 250 artists from 30 states.

Siesta Fiesta was born over a cup of coffee in 1971, between Foxy Lady owner Lorry Eible and Louise Chappel, who at the time owned antique shop The Key Hole in the Village.

“We used to talk about what we could do to get some kind of recognition of what we are as far as Siesta Village goes,” said Eible.

“We came up with the idea of a juried art show in the streets.”

In 1972, the Siesta Key Village Association rounded up 12 local artists and put on the first Siesta Fiesta. Siesta Key merchants met at 8 a.m., before their shops opened, to organize the show. They used the proceeds to beautify Siesta Key Village.

“It started off as a high-level art show with real artisans who were absolutely local,” Eible said. “They needed exposure and so did we, so it worked both ways.”

Merchants such as John Davidson, Sunny Sears, Dale Six, Cheryl Duley, Eible and Chappel spent countless hours working together to put on the show to help the Village grow into what it is today.

“It was a closer-knit community back then,” Eible said. “A lot of the newer merchants aren’t as involved in helping the Village grow like we were in the beginning, because now we have a developed area.”

In a few years, as the show grew in popularity, merchants needed help organizing it. First they hired Siesta Key resident Sharon Krall. In the late 80s, early 90s when the show had grown even larger, Howard Alan, of Howard Alan Events, took over the show. Alan’s company still organizes the event today.

“He made it a lot more popular,” said Davidson.

Alan remembers Siesta residents opposing the huge show his first year because the streets had to be closed off.

“In the beginning, Siesta Fiesta was a major party and then really toned down over the years,” Alan said. “Merchants and restaurants wanted to make Siesta Fiesta a respectable event.”

Elaine Laurent, a vendor of Siesta Fiesta who makes mixed-media art and lived on Siesta Key in her late 20s, remembers attending the show with her grandmother as a teenager.

“It’s evolved. It was a bit more exclusive and didn’t have the craft side for a long time,” Laurent said.

Although Siesta Fiesta is not the juried

high-class art show the merchants intended for it to be in the beginning, there is little doubt that it served its original purpose of helping put Siesta Key on the map.

And on April 13 and April 14, thousands of people will flock the streets of Siesta Key to browse the variety of arts and crafts offered.

Fair-goers will find art that ranges from $25 to $30,000. A portion of the proceeds still benefits the Siesta Key Village Association. According to Alan, this year they expect 60,000 people to attend during the course of the weekend.

Also this year there will be an art festival giveaway. Art festival patrons can register to win a 12-inch-by-18 inch print of photographer Linda Mayeswin’s “Day at the Beach,” valued at $85.

The Harrison brothers, Christian, left, and Ryan, right, are two local rising stars to watch in the Sarasota Open. They train with their father, Pat, center, at IMG Academy in Bradenton.

Sarasota Open brings top-tier tennis to Longboat Key Club a 5-hour, 31-minute match in the third round of Wimbledon, losing 15-17 in the fifth set; • 2011 champion James Blake, ranked 90th in the world, who reached the semifinals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2008 and the U.S. Open in 2005 and 2006; • Six-foot, 10-inch tall Ivo Karlovic from Croatia, who holds four ATP singles titles, as well as the record for the fastest serve in professional tennis (156 mph); • Brothers Ryan and Christian Harrison, who train at IMG Academy in Bradenton.

In 2010, at age 19, Ryan Harrison defeated Ivan Ljubicic, then ranked No. 17 in the world, in the first round of the U.S. Open, making him only the second teenager to beat a top-20 opponent in a grand slam event. Christian Harrison, 18, made it to the doubles quarterfinals at the U.S. Open with his brother last year. He’s battled injuries to his wrist and hamstring, but, according to Bollettieri, “shows tremendous potential.”

The Sarasota Open also hosts a tournament with a $10,000 purse prize featuring 16 of the top Women’s Tennis Association players, including 16-year-old IMG Academy student Dasha Sharapova, cousin of the current No. 2 player in the world, Maria Sharapova.

Sarasota’s tennis enthusiasts won’t have to wait much longer to watch a few of the world’s best players compete in the area.

The fifth Sarasota Open comes to the Longboat Key Club & Resort’s Tennis Gardens Saturday, April 13 through Sunday, April 21. The tournament, part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour, has drawn more than 30,000 spectators in previous years.

“Tournaments like this one are fantastic spectator opportunities,” said esteemed tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, who will be honored during Nick Bollettieri Day Friday, April 19. Unlike mega venues, such as Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Open or the All England Club for Wimbledon, the Tennis Gardens allows viewers to get a few feet away from the top players.

“You can actually see their expressions, how they breathe,” Bollettieri said. “That’s a rare opportunity.”

Another major opportunity: watching “the little rabbits” — the unknown players who use the Sarasota Open to put their names on the radar.

“It’s fun to see the veterans play,” Bollettieri said. “But it’s even more fun to say, years down the road, ‘I saw them when they were starting.’”

Among those vying for the title and a $100,000 purse prize: • Reigning champion Sam Querrey, who holds the record for most consecutive service aces (10) and, last year, played

MOMENTS IN TIME

The Observer takes a look back at this week in Sarasota’s history.

1978

April 9 Members of St. Boniface Episcopal Church came to a final decision at the April 9, 1978, parish meeting to build a new sanctuary. The hall of worship was redesigned to accommodate a chapel, choir rehearsal and robing room. Members decided to enlarge the kitchen facilities and remodel the parish hall, reorganize church schoolrooms and add to church offices.

The sanctuary was designed in a hexagonal contemporary design by Padgett, Ritter, Harris — architects and planners. The hall was expanded to accommodate 550 people from the previous seating of 400. The seating was arranged in a fan shape to provide closeness to the altar for even the last row of pews. Lester Newburn, chairman of the Facilities Planning Committee, said the designs incorporated as many suggestions from the congregation as possible.

— Taken from April 20, 1978, issue of the Pelican Press

Heading the building expansion of St. Boniface Episcopal Church were Alan Purmort, senior warden, the Rev. David E. Johnson, Lester Newburn, chairman of the church building committee, and architect David Harris.

Safety: What you can’t hear can hurt you.

Studies have shown, hearing impairment not only affects business, social and personal relationships, it also causes reduced alertness, increased risk to personal safety and the safety of others. The truth is, although one in ten Americans have hearing loss, older men and women are more likely to suffer from this life-altering condition. In fact, the failure to hear smoke detectors and take quick action is the major reason adults 65 and older are more than twice as likely as any other age group to die in a home fire.

Lori Collison M.S.,

Some other examples of what you might not hear that can put you and your family at risk.

• A family member or friend calling out for help.

• A fire engine or ambulance using a siren in traffic.

• Someone ringing your doorbell to warn you of an emergency.

• Something boiling over on the stove.

• Your doctor’s explanation regarding your health or medications.

For your own safety, and the safety of your family, taking a few minutes for a hearing test can pay enormous dividends.

At Doctors Hearing Center we can assess your loss, recommend and provide you with the most appropriate hearing device and KEEP YOU SAFE by making sure you HEAR!

In the USA 30 million people live with untreated hearing loss.

Sand Solace

Cardinal Mooney High graduate Annie Montgomery is making an immediate impact in her freshman season at Florida State University. Montgomery will compete April 12 through April 14 in the fifth annual Fiesta on Siesta.

SARASOTA — Annie Montgomery feels a sense of solace every time she steps onto the sand on Siesta Beach.

In many ways it’s become her second home.

The 2012 Cardinal Mooney High graduate and Florida State University freshman spent nearly four years training on the soft white sand of Siesta Beach.

It was there that she discovered her sand legs while building up her endurance in the Florida sunshine.

She knows the feel of the sand and most importantly just how long it takes to get to the water’s edge.

Courtesy photo And this weekend, Montgomery is hoping to use that knowledge to her advantage when she and the rest of the No. 3 ranked Florida State sand volleyball team hit the beach for the fifth annual Fiesta on Siesta.

The Fiesta on Siesta, which takes place April 12 to April 14, is one of the largest collegiate sand volleyball competitions.

Twenty-five teams from across the country will participate in the three-day competition, which features sand dual matches, the Siesta Sand Pairs Challenge and the Fiesta Team Cup. Montgomery is among 20 girls from Florida State who will be competing this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to playing at home in the sand that I trained on all last year; and seeing my friends and family and having them watch me play,” Montgomery says.

“I just want to play well and just do good with my team and have fun,” Montgomery says. “I want to show my friends and family what I’ve been training for.”

Montgomery began playing indoor volleyball when she was in the fifth grade, but it wasn’t until her sophomore year at Cardinal Mooney that Montgomery began playing sand volleyball competitively.

At the urging of her high school coaches Kristin Batt, a professional sand volleyball player, and Joe Rohr, who also played sand volleyball professionally, Montgomery began practicing and training in the sand.

“It was different, but I liked it because it’s more one-on-one,” Montgomery says. “You get more touches, so that makes it more fun. And it’s on the beach, so that makes it better.

“Getting your sand legs takes the longest,” Montgomery says. “It’s so different moving in sand (than on an indoor court).”

Montgomery played both indoor and beach volleyball throughout high school, but the former middle hitter decided during the spring of her junior year that her future was in sand volleyball.

“I wasn’t really tall enough for my position,” says Montgomery, who is 5-10.

Montgomery spent the past year training on Siesta Beach in preparation for her freshman season at Florida State.

“It’s such a blessing to have the opportunity to play here with such a new program

Cardinal Mooney alumnae and Florida State University freshman Annie Montgomery will hit the sand of Siesta Key Beach this weekend for the fifth annual Fiesta on Siesta, a college sand-volleyball tournament. and to be a student-athlete at such a big school,” Montgomery says.

Florida State is off to an impressive start this season having nearly upset No. 1 ranked Pepperdine March 14.

“We’re all really close,” Montgomery says. “We have really good chemistry as a team. There’s competition within the team amongst each other, but it all stays on the court.”

The Seminoles sand volleyball season began March 3 and will continue through May

5. Following this season, Montgomery will compete in a number of individual tournaments throughout the summer in preparation for next season.

Eventually, Montgomery has aspirations of following in the footsteps of Kerri Walsh, Misty May-Treanor and her former coaches, landing a spot on the pro tour.

“I don’t know how far I’ll get, but that’s my goal,” Montgomery says.”

TENNIS

Caroline Dailey

The Out-of-Door Academy senior Caroline Dailey defeated Bradenton Christian’s Haley Waldo 6-0, 6-0 to capture the No. 1 singles crown at the Class 1ADistrict 9 tournament April 2.

With the win, the three-time state champion won her fourth No. 1 singles district title.

Dailey then teamed up with M’Balia Bangoura to capture the No. 1 doubles crown, and helped lead the Lady Thunder to their second-consecutive district title.

As the district champion, Dailey, who will play tennis for the University of South Carolina next year, earned an automatic berth in the Class 1A state meet April 15 through April 17.

In the past, when I was in eighth and ninth grade, it was harder than it is now to stay focused for high school tennis.

Junior tennis has helped me out mentally. I’ve matured a lot since last year.

Now, when I’m out here, my goal is to try and get off of the court as quickly as possible. Focus is a big goal of mine. I still try to win, but I’m going about it a different way now.

Since I already signed, tournaments aren’t quite as important as they were with the recruiting process. I didn’t have as much going on this spring, so I decided to try for one more state title my senior year. I also wanted to try and win a state title as a team. It would be the first one in the history of the school, and I think it would be cool to be a part of it.

This is the best team I’ve been on. The difference is our depth. In the past we’ve been good at the top two and were able to pull out wins with doubles. Now, we’re securing wins with all of our singles. It’s kind of rare. It’s hard to find that amount of depth.

It’s definitely an awesome feeling to be a district champion. Junior tennis is so different than high school tennis, so it’s kind of cool not only to win it for myself, but also for the school. It’s nice to be able to give back.

SCHOOLBOARD History remembered

That’s a wrap Sarasota Christian School students wrapped fourth-grade teacher Rachael Kinsch in toilet paper Friday, April 5, as part of the “Get Wrapped Up for Reading” contest. For each book students purchased during the spring book fair, held March 20 to March 26, students could cast a vote for which teacher would get wrapped. The contest got students excited about reading. Children purchased 185 books at the fair.

Holocaust survivors Frank and Eva Schaal shared their story with Temple Emanu-El Religious School students Sunday, April 7, in honor of Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. Eva Schaal told fourth- through seventhgraders about her journey with the Kindertransport, a rescue mission that brought 10,000 children from Nazi Germany to safety in England. Holocaust Remembrance Day was observed from sundown April 7 to sundown April 8.

Science stars Sarasota High School students Shelby Hinds and Jackie Mogensen attended the National American Junior Academy of Science Conference in Boston in February, as part of the Math and Science Technology Research Institute. This organization recognizes students for their research.

André Dupuis Holocaust survivors Frank and Eva Schaal (front row) were joined by Temple Emanu-El Religious School fourth-grader Julia Beatt, director of education Sabrina Silverberg and fifthgrader Joshua Cappelli following their talk.

André Dupuis’ room is lined with medals, certificates and trophies from regattas and speech-and-debate tournaments from across the country. Despite his accomplishments, the Pine View junior is not boisterous or flashy, but sincere and modest.

Last June, André helped the Sarasota Crew Men’s Varsity 8 place second at the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships

in Oak Ridge, Tenn. That night, he and his mother, Karla, rented a car and drove 350 miles to Indianapolis for the National Forensic League Speech and Debate Tournament.

In a matter of hours, André traded his rowing uniform for a suit and tie to compete in the Duo Interpretation category.

André and his partner took a piece of literature, cut it down to 10 minutes and performed it to an audience.

André is part of the National Honor Society, the Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta and the Spanish National Honor Society. He takes several AP classes and maintains a 4.0 GPA. “I enjoy doing it. Time flies by, and I don’t recognize all the hard work I am putting in because it’s fun,” André says.

oza Prom-A-Palo SERIES

SMA upperclassmen prepare for a night out of uniform SARASOTA Every day, Sarasota Military Academy cadets put on their uniforms to attend school, where their days are regimented. Almost all high school students look forward to prom, but for these cadets, the break in routine and opportunity to trade out uniforms for dresses and tuxedos can have an added significance.

— Nick Friedman What are you most looking forward to about prom?

I’m looking forward to hanging out with all my other classmates and friends.

Madison Lazo

Are you going with a date or with a Age: 18 group of friends?

I’m going to go with a big group of about 10 of my friends. That’s what I did last year, and it was a lot of fun.

How does it feel to have a night out of uniform and relax?

You get to show off your sense of style and how you dress and do your hair, instead of everyone just seeing you in the same uniform every day.

What’s your favorite part of the night?

Last year, I had a lot of fun dancing, and we really liked the photo booth. There were a lot of fun props.

Do you have any plans before prom?

We like to take pictures beforehand at Marina Jack or at the Van Wezel.

PROM TRENDS

“A lot of the dresses I saw when I was looking this year had a lot of beading and cut-outs on the legs.”

— Madison Lazo

What are you most looking forward to about prom?

I’m excited to dance and hang out with my friends.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — The Outof-Door Academy senior Zach Lang isn’t one for wearing a tuxedo, or anything formal, really.

But a post-prom event the school hosts makes the evening worth donning a bowtie, vest and shiny shoes.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Lang says. “(For) some people, the after-prom (event) drives them to go to prom. That was me last year.”

Juniors and seniors at ODA will put on their formalwear April 27, as the school hosts its 2013 masquerade-themed prom at The Lake Club, in Lakewood Ranch.

The school’s post-prom event that Lang is so fond of has become part of the culture of ODA, as well.

Last year, 97% of students who attended the dance also attended the after-party, said Tim Brewer, ODA’s director of student activities. When the event started in 2006, about 20% of prom-goers attended.

“I hear some kids talking about the after-party and the hypnotist (act there) before they talk about the

dance,” Brewer said. “(Students) are going to see a great show and have a couple extra hours of fun. (The event) is two-fold — it keeps the night going to create more memories for our students, and (parents know their children are in a safe environment).”

ODA is shifting away from separating its prom and after-prom events, instead calling the whole evening “Prom Night.”

Limousines that ODA’s Parent Association sponsor will transport students from The Lake Club to the school’s Uihlein campus in Lakewood Ranch.

Once there, the party begins in the Petrik Thunderdome.

“Everyone changes into T-shirts and shorts,” Lang said. “There’s always a hypnotist. I enjoy watching people do stupid stuff. And there’s free food — who doesn’t like free food?”

Other activities include a prize wheel, a photo booth, an inflatable obstacle course, basketball shootouts, beanbag tosses and more.

At 1 a.m., the party moves to the

Art Centers’ Black Box Theatre for the headline entertainment, a professional hypnotist who will hypnotize about 20 students.

The one-hour comedy/hypnotism show is a yearly ritual at ODA. Brewer said the school uses a different hypnotist each year, so students never see the same act twice.

The final portion of the evening includes a prize raffle that sends students home with anything from Beats By Dr. Dre headphones to concert tickets or a new flat-screen TV. Limousines will transport students to their respective homes at around 2:30 a.m.

A committee of juniors — and Brewer — plan ODA’s prom, as a gift to senior students. The school’s Student Council funds the event.

He completed his residency at Boston City Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.

After medical school, Shamsey joined the U.S. Navy Medical Corps and moved to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C., with his wife, Christina. He served from 1973 to 1975 as a lieutenant commander during the Vietnam War. Shamsey and his family moved in 1975 to Sapphire Shores for the warm weather.

His children still live in Sarasota.

“It is great for us because we have our kids and grandchildren in town,” says Shamsey. “When you get to my stage in life, that is a real blessing,” — Yaryna Klimchak

r. Robert Shamsey has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, but when asked if he is ready to retire, the 68-year-old pediatrician’s answer is a resounding “no.”

Shamsey, who practices at Pediatric Associates of Sarasota, has made 12 international medical mission trips to Neighborhood: countries such as Sapphire Haiti and Armenia, Shores and plans to make NEIGHBOR FOR: a trip this fall to the 38 years Dominican Republic.

Shamsey’s interest in medicine began when he was in high school.

“I had an interest in helping people who were not doing well physically,” Shamsey says. “I was drawn to medicine early on.”

The first member of his family to practice medicine, Shamsey earned his undergraduate degree from Colgate University and attended medical school at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Beachfront Oasis

Lynne Koy

presents

Spice Bay 1220 Sharswood Lane, Siesta Key

E

njoy the privilege of ownership in one of Siesta Key’s most exclusive hideaways: Hidden Lagoon Beach Club. Located on the beach and surrounded by nearly seven acres of lush tropical growth, this is peace, tranquility, and privacy like none other. There just 24 condominium residences, and each with its own private, 2 car garage. The grounds are lush and tropical with walking paths through an array of wildflowers and hanging orchids, all beautifully maintained. The recently updated pool area is tastefully appointed and buffered by natural sand dunes. Walk the gated boardwalk to your beach which stretches for miles and is ideal for long quiet walks and dramatic sunsets. This sixth-floor residence is a two bed, two bath in excellent condition but in need of some cosmetic updating (reflected in the price). There are spectacular full gulf views from almost every room and a large kitchen with open views to the family room and the gulf beyond. This is an unique opportunity to become one of the few lucky owners of this private oasis.
