The man behind the plan

The Pennsylvania native and software entrepreneur moved 12 years ago to Sarasota and has a plan to bring more people downtown to live and work.

Q&A WITH JESSE BITER If you weren’t an entrepreneur, you’d be a ... Navy pilot. I always wanted to fly for our country.

What’s on your nightstand?

Ha, ha, my phone (charging), my light control box and a lamp.

What are five adjectives you’d use to describe yourself?

Motivated, energetic, optimistic, religious, talkative What’s your favorite movie?

“National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” Name one thing you can’t live without?

My wife. Before (she came along), my iPhone.

Do you have any bad habits?

My iPhone. Other than that I often find myself eating too much and always on a diet. I’m an extremist — I’m either pigging out or I’m on a strict diet.

Do you have bucket list?

Just in my head. I know flying in a Navy jet is on that list.

J

esse Biter has a vision for Sarasota, and he plans to carry out that vision.

The 36-year-old Pennsylvania native sold his $16 million autosales software firm, HomeNet, in 2010, and currently owns DealersUnited. The software entrepreneur has big plans to build a 168-unit apartment complex on a downtown acre to offer what he calls “obtainable” rental units for working professionals.

Biter, who managed the Florida campaign for presidential candidate Rick Santorum, is also taking his fight for increased residential density downtown to local politicians and government officials saying the change would bring more people downtown to both work and live, and would allow developers to build moreaffordable units.

Although Biter moved 12 years ago to Sarasota, his wife, Katie, is a Sarasota native. The Biters have lived downtown since 2007, and they walk most places. The Sarasota Observer reveals the man behind the plan on page 6A.

Sarasota County has l44 lighting districts that range in size from 10 to 9,000 properties, with ad-valorum tax rates from that of the Village district on Siesta to 0.62. The proposer of an overlapping tax district, such as the one being considered on south Siesta Key, would need signatures of two-thirds of the property owners within the planned area and commission approval to establish a new district.

“I would certainly be willing to take a look at it and what it can generate,” Singleton said. “We do try to work together

Grocery. About 30 years after his fatherin-law sold the business in the mid-1970s due to health problems, Singleton bought it back and revamped the building on the corner of Midnight Pass and Old Stickney Point roads.

Sarasota County staff is working with two south Siesta business owners, Aledia Tush, owner of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters, and Dave Stewart, owner of Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar, on a public works project to add lighting and make the area more attractive for new investment. And, it could lead to a new lighting district on the island — and redevelopment around some of the oldest buildings on the Key. Sarasota County Traffic Engineering staff member Ryan Montague said Florida Power & Light has conduits in place for street lighting and said adding basic overhead lighting would not affect the budget much.

“I think it’s a great idea for Old Stickney Point to be more illuminated,” Singleton said.

Tush and Stewart, whose businesses are both located off Old Stickney Point Road, have met with staff about installing upgraded decorative lighting.

“At this point, nothing has been decided at the county end or the FPL end,” Montague said.

and help out any way we can.”

In 2008, Sarasota County and FPL finished the Siesta Key Village beautification project. Property owners within its bounds pay into a special taxing district to compensate the county for the work and continuing maintenance. The amount paid per parcel is based on a millage rate of roughly 3.97 applied to values the Sarasota County Property Appraiser assesses every year. Village businesses also pay into the Siesta Key Lighting District.

A new overlapping lighting district for south Siesta Key would function the same way, and the additional tax rate would be tacked onto the 0.011 rate they already pay to be part of the Siesta Key Lighting District.

The amount of commercial properties in the Village dwarfs the 14 on south Siesta by more than five times, according to property records. Singleton is skeptical the area could support a new lighting district.

“It seems there’s not going to be a huge tax base to work off of,” Singleton said.

Road to redevelopment

Adding illumination to Old Stickney Point would provide a safer path at night from the shops at the intersection of Midnight Pass Road to whatever future business occupies the nightclub property.

Alex Mahadevan

The 18-year-old abandoned nightclub on Old Stickney Point Road is one of the newest buildings in the south Siesta Key commercial district.

“I think the area is ripe for redevelopment,” said Lee DeLieto Jr., a Realtor with Michael Saunders & Co. The 18-year-old abandoned nightclub on Old Stickney Point remains the youngest building in the roughly 11-acre commercial district on south Siesta Key. The building last sold in 2004, for $1.2 million, but the 35,700-square-foot property is worth less than half that now, according to the Sarasota County Property Appraiser.

“I’ve been marketing that property probably for more years than I’d care to admit,” said DeLieto Jr. “The seller and I both know the existing building, and the condition it’s in, is not attractive.”

Palm trees, a storage facility and a marina surround the gray two-story skeleton of the nightclub.

Dr. Gary Kompothecras, owner of 1-800-ASK-GARY and a 29,000-squarefoot home south of Point of Rocks, also owns a residential property directly south of the former nightclub. According to DeLieto Jr., Kompthecras has had an interest in purchasing the nightclub property for

four years, but has not been happy with the asking price of $1.5 million.

The building abuts a 14,950-squarefoot property housing a storage facility. A developer could bundle those two properties and build a new retail center, which is more compatible near residential zoning than a late-night hangout, DeLieto Jr. said. The narrow, two-lane Old Stickney Point Road empties into a multi-family residential development and single-family homes along Peacock Road.

“I think the biggest issue is the size of retail and what it can generate,” Singleton said.

Siesta Key Salon Spa owner Maggie Criollo said business has mostly come from tourists over the last several months, but wants to build a local clientele to buoy business outside of tourist season. Criollo said she makes sure to patronize her neighbors; she says a person can find almost anything they need in shops along Old Stickney Point Road and Midnight Pass Road.

“We’re all in this together,” Criollo said.

“The businesses help each other out.”

FRESH FACE

by Nick Friedman | Community Editor

Girls Inc. welcomes its new director Incoming Executive Director Robin Rose brings passion for children and non-profit experience to Girls Inc. Growing up as an Air Force brat on bases across the country, Robin Rose learned many of her leadership skills at a young age. As a child, she remembers taking charge among the other children during various picnics and social events held on the bases.

“I never aspired for leadership positions,” she says. “For me, it was about learning to assimilate and adapt quickly, and I think I gained a lot of those skills because of it. Leaders need to be able to see what’s coming and not be intimidated by change, and I think growing up in that environment prepared me for that.”

In August, Rose will put these skills to use as she takes over as the executive director of Girls Incorporated of Sarasota County.

Ending her career as CEO of Frameworks Inc., a non-profit youth-development organization in Tampa, Rose will replace interim Executive Director Kay Mathers, who took over the position one year ago while the board of directors began its search to fill the position permanently.

“I told them to take their time, and make sure we have the right candidate,” says Mathers. “The position requires you to give 100% of your professional life to the job, as well as a lot of your personal life, and you have to be able to embody the mission statement. Robin will have an easy time with that.”

Rose brings a background in non-profit and children’s work to the position, and, according to Susan Jones, president of the Girls Inc. Board of Directors, this experience made her a natural choice. After narrowing the search down to six candi-

Incoming Executive Director Robin Rose sits with several of the Girls Inc. girls. dates, Jones says she and the other board members saw Rose as the best fit for the organization.

“Her résumé and experience are what first drew our attention to her,” says Jones. “She’s a very effective communicator, and she believes strongly in the mission of Girls Inc. We also found her to have a great moral compass. She will certainly be a great leader and mentor for the girls.”

Rose says her passion has always been helping children — especially young girls. The proud mother of three adult daughters, she says it’s important that young girls have the tools they need to have a successful future. Because of this, she was excited to learn about the open position at Girls Inc. “I want all kids to be loved,” she says.

“I want to help them aspire to be whatever they want to be. It sounds cliché, but it really does take a village; kids need many positive role models in their lives.”

In her first six months as executive director, Rose hopes to spend some time becoming familiar with the existing programs and evaluating the organization to see how she can best further its mission.

She currently lives in Nokomis, and she says she’s looking forward to getting to know Sarasota — and the girls in the organization.

“I’m excited to get to know these girls and learn what’s on their minds and in their hearts,” she says. “I want to build on the amazing work already taking place at Girls Inc. and do whatever I can for the betterment of our kids.”

NEXT STEP Interim Executive Director Kay Mathers will return to her previous position as director of community relations, in which she oversees the organization’s 300 volunteers, plans special events and handles marketing and public relations, Aug. 5.

“The volunteers are the heart and soul of the building,” she says. “There are people every day who deserve my time and attention. One of my biggest efforts when I first started working here was to better get to know the volunteers and pair them with the girls. I’m looking forward to having more time to focus on that, again.”

Developer proposes 18-acre project in South Sarasota A Connecticut investment company is proposing to construct an 18-acre, mixeduse project in South Sarasota across from Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.

150,000 square feet of residential space south of the commercial component of the project. The residential development would be located south of Holiday Harbor, a neighborhood of single-family homes, and overlooking Little Sarasota Bay. If the county’s Development Review Committee forwards the project at the April 18 meeting, county planners will then review more detailed plans, said Mary Stephens, land development coordinator with Sarasota County.

PUSHING SOUTHWEST The intersection of Beneva Road and Tamiami Trail has historically been a death trap for commercial activity.

Kmart vacated the property in 2008, and rumors about a Home Depot moving in proved false in 2010.

But, Benderson Development has started the revitalization of the shopping center at that juncture, called Beneva Pointe, and has submitted plans to do the same to another troubled property.

Hobby Lobby, a roughly 56,000-square-foot craft store, has committed to the shopping center. The location is a half-hour drive from the majority of Benderson projects, clustered near the future site of the Mall at University Town Center.

Pelican Plaza, a 108,000-square-foot shopping center across Tamiami Trail from Westfield Sarasota Square Mall, houses Beall’s Outlet as an anchor tenant and about five other leasees.

“They both have great visibility and they’re both distressed,” said Benderson Director of Development Todd Mathes. “Our proposal is to add so it is not a small project,” Stephens said.

The property is zoned commercial general.

Previous owner Bayonne Investments LLC purchased the 18-acre parcel in 2005 for $16.7 million.

The property was then foreclosed on in May 2009, and Silverpoint Finance Group LLC (SPCP Group), a Delaware-based finance company, took over ownership.

to the site. We’ll basically tear off the entire façade of the building and sort of reinvent that shopping center.”

The firm bought the property May 15, 2012, for $4 million, and it will piggyback off of plans from the previous owner, Ramco-Gershershen Properties.

Beside Beall’s, the center houses Lucky Nails, Lan Pham Alterations, Plato’s Closet and a U.S. Army recruiting office.

Kash ’n’ Karry and Linens ’n’ Things were previous anchors.

Anchor tenants are generally larger retail or grocery stores that draw a consistent volume of customers. The traffic benefits adjacent smaller businesses in a shopping center.

But, if the ratio of small tenants to a single anchor is large, as it is at Pelican Plaza, the effect can fail to sustain the center.

Benderson plans to build out one side of the current shopping center by 40,000 square feet to make the Pelican Plaza a dual-anchor plaza.

“I think that’s probably what the center was lacking in the past,” Mathes said.

— Alex Mahadevan Last month, the company sold a retail center in Rotonda West for $825,000 — at a $600,000 profit.

NEWSBRIEFS + Red Bug Slough restoration work to begin Sarasota County has contracted with Ecosystems Technologies Inc. of Fort Myers for restoration of Red Bug Slough.

Construction is expected to begin mid-April, and county officials estimate the project will be completed by November, according to a county update on the project.

As part of a $1 million habitat restoration project, Sarasota County will restore portions of wetlands within the 72-acre preserve. The restoration project will remove invasive flora, create additional habitat for birds and wildlife and improve the flow and natural filtration of water in a drainage basin that ultimately feeds into Sarasota Bay and was partially dredged in the early 1900s.

All existing trails will remain natural and be maintained. The preserve will remain open to the public throughout construction, with limited access around the construction sites. Temporary trail closures may also be necessary. A $500,000 grant from the Southwest Water Management District and matching funds through the county’s penny-tax revenue funded the project.

pants of motor vehicles; and further providing that no person shall go upon a public road to display advertising of any kind.”

The city’s former sign-holding law was repealed in January. Twelfth Circuit Court Judge Rick DeFuria said the ordinance violated federal free-speech protections by prohibiting panhandlers from holding signs that solicit money from passing motorists. City Attorney Bob Fournier drafted a new ordinance to replace the repealed law.

Chris Holt, a long-time Sarasota visitor who recently decided to move here, was one of the residents to email the mayor before Monday’s meeting.

“I’m very concerned that the number of panhandlers will deter people from coming to our area when you can’t even drive down one of the most beautiful streets in our town without being asked at every corner for money,” Holt wrote Wednesday, April 10.

Atwell wrote to Holt that she shared his concerns and was troubled by a problem that seemed to be “growing each day.”

The number of people who holds signs and asks for money has increased from last winter in both downtown and on the outskirts of town, noted several homeless people and Sarasota officials.

+ City agrees to sell parcel on Palm Avenue for hotel City commissioners moved ahead with plans to sell a parcel on Palm Avenue to Floridays Development Co., which plans to build a boutique arts hotel.

Floridays President Angus Rogers said his team is finalizing an architectural plan designed to be “timeless” and has added an extra 20 rooms, to the now 200-room, nine-story, arts-themed hotel.

The project proposal, however, is at least two months from approval.

The city still needs to work out a redevelopment agreement and parking agreement with Floridays. In addition, the project is on hold because of a pending lawsuit

against the city from a previous developer.

In July, city commissioners chose Floridays Development Co.’s plans to build an independent boutique hotel on the city-owned site at Palm Avenue at Cocoanut Avenue.

The company has agreed to pay $2.1 million for the hotel site. That price tag is the latest appraisal of the land; the previous appraisal was $3.4 million. The BuckLeiter Group, one of the potential developers of the Palm Avenue land during a previous call for proposals, filed a suit last year claiming the city breached its 2007 contract with the development group.

City Attorney Bob Fournier said Floridays has been working closely with the city and is willing to hold off on a final agreement until the lawsuit is resolved.

“We have a buyer that is willing to wait this out and see it through,” said Fournier.

Rogers said he was excited about the hotel project.

“I still believe this is the right project,” Rogers told commissioners.

+ Rosemary catalyst project scheduled for May discussion City commissioners are scheduled to discuss next month a possible publicprivate development at 1440 Blvd. of the Arts (the former community garden) in the Rosemary District.

The possible development of the cityowned land will be discussed at either the May 6 or May 20 City Commission regular meeting, according to an April 12 email from Mary Tucker, purchasing manager.

City Manager Tom Barwin has called the possible Boulevard of the Arts development a “catalyst project” for the area.

City officials plan to extend an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) and seek proposals from developers interested in building a mixed-use project on the cityowned land.

The city held a meeting in December to obtain input on the possible development.

Sarasota County Commission

At the joint meeting between the Sarasota and Manatee County Commissions Tuesday, April 16: • Commissioners from both counties directed staff to draft an interlocal agreement committing the counties to a regional approach to public transportation. A private operator or public transit authority are two ideas staff will consider to oversee a joint system.

Combining transit systems could make federal funding more attainable and reduce costs through economies of scale, but staff stopped short of any guarantees before private firms pitch proposals or quotes.

“I would be hesitant about promising any savings,” said Manatee County Administrator Ed Hunzeker said.

“Because salesmen are salesmen — they’ll try and sell you the sizzle.”

In other items, commissioners: • Agreed they would need more information about bus rapid transit — a high-quality bus system — before picking a route connecting Sarasota and Manatee counties. During a meeting with the Sarasota County Commission, Sarasota city commissioners supported a route along U.S. 41. Sarasota County staff has pitched routes along that arterial road, as wells as U.S. 301 and a railroad corridor.

• Debated a “divergent diamond” interchange at University Parkway and I-75 the Florida Department of Transportation proposed.

Sarasota City Commission

At the City Commission meeting Monday, April 16: • Commissioners unanimously directed City Manager Tom Barwin to establish an

ad hoc committee charged with studying possible ordinances regulating downtown sound. The committee will be made up of five to seven community members.

At a March meeting, commissioners had voted 4-1 against the concept of forming the committee, but Commissioner Terry Turner placed the item back on the agenda Monday, April 15. Turner said he wanted to see a committee formed that would take on the issue because residents are complaining about noise violations downtown.

“We started this effort,” Turner said.

“We led the citizens to believe there would be a solution coming. And, in my opinion, I think we let them down.”

The committee, likely to be comprised of both downtown residents and business owners, will study possible regulations.

Commissioners also directed City Attorney Bob Fournier to review the city’s current noise ordinance and report back to commissioners in May. Commissioners also directed city officials to enact proactive enforcement of the current noise ordinance.

In other business, commissioners: • Removed tandem parking from a zoning text amendment proposed on Golden Gate Point.

• In the wake of the Newtown school shooting and Boston Marathon bombings, discussed possible training for elected officials and law enforcement.

The training would likely be a half-day session during which an expert would train city officials on methods to prepare for and respond to potential terrorist situations.

• Approved a six-day Sarasota Chalk Festival in Burns Square. Last year, the event was 10 days long. Commissioners, however, postponed a decision to grant $18,000 in fee waivers for the annual event.

A CONVERSATION WITH JESSE BITER ...

Continued from page 1A

… I’m not afraid of risk.

Our country was built on the backs of people who took risks. Although I’m always concerned about failing or even falling short, I will always take calculated risks.

… (My inspiration is) Bill Gates. It was always Bill Gates because he started a company in his basement — a software-based company.

I could associate with him. He was solving problems with software, and I knew I could do that. It was tough growing up seeing how much he did. He had 50 employees when he was 24 years old, or something like that. (There I was) at 26 with 20-something employees. It was that competition. Now Mark Zuckerberg is killing me.

It’s all good. It just motivates me.

… I’m usually up around 7 a.m. I’m usually in bed around midnight and asleep by 1 a.m. … I pray about a lot of the decisions I make. I pray every night that God will open doors I should go through and close the ones I shouldn’t. There certainly are some things I would do differently, thinking back.

But, sometimes we think too much, and don’t end up doing anything.

… My dad was all about work ethic, for me. He was traveling around the world and working a lot and sacrificing a lot to support us. My mom, too, she was on the phone a lot (as a Realtor). They also balanced their lives well. While working hard, they valued spending time with family.

… Political aspirations? No, not necessarily. I get involved when I think I can make a difference. I prefer not to be the one to deal with all the rules and regulations of politics. … Often, two to three nights a month, you’ll catch me and my wife walking up Main Street, eating dinner at Melange and then catching a movie at Hollywood 20. It makes for a great date with good food and a bit of exercise. … (My business professor) told me that he was there teaching because he had failed in business. He said what I needed to do was drop out of school to do this myself. He said, “You won’t learn anything that will help you (open a business). You can always come back to school.” So, I took his advice, and that day I left for home and borrowed $1,000 from my mom and hired an attorney to start HomeNet.

… I am a gadget man. I love to buy anything that is cool or that makes life more efficient.

… I call it divine intervention.

(Katie) and I, dated for a few years and got married in May 2010. Our third anniversary is coming up. We’ll be going to Chile.

… (I grew up in) Westchester, Pa. People always asked me, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” and I’d said, “I want to open my own business” for as long as I could remember.

… I always feel that, when I am in the car waiting at a red light, I am wasting time when I could be talking to someone.

… We will never leave Sarasota.

… As lame as it sounds, catching up on email is relaxing to me. Having a full inbox stresses me out. Other than that, I love time on the boat. I love to scuba, lobster and spear-fish.

… Whatever (my daughters) want to be, I will support it 100% ... I don’t try to steer them. If they want to go to college, that’s good, and if they don’t, I’ll support that, too.

Competitors prep for Siesta Key paddle competition Paddlers will compete in the first Siesta Key Classic for the love of the sport and for a chance to win a plane ticket to Hawaii.

Stand-up paddlers from across the U.S. and Florida are gearing up for the first Siesta Key Classic Paddle competition Saturday, April 20, on Siesta Key Beach.

One-hundred twenty-five competitors will race each other in the HYPR 12-mile Endurance Challenge paddle race or the 3-mile fun paddle.

The Siesta Paddle Classic is a World Paddle Association-sanctioned event, which HYPR Atlantic Surf and Paddle will host to benefit Surfrider Foundation.

Surfrider Foundation aims to protect the ocean and beaches through an activist network.

“We work with many municipalities to make sure water is clean and sanitary for healthy beach conditions,” says Surfrider Foundation Suncoast Chapter Chairman John Kurz.

Paddle boarding is growing rapidly in popularity. Siesta Key Classic Race Director Abe Ucello says it’s because it is simple to do and because people are used to paddles, whether it be with kaya-

king or canoeing.

“You can see down into the water, and it gives you a sense of security and comfort,” Ucello says.

He has been in the race circuit for six years. In February, Ucello prone paddled (paddling with hands, often in the lying position) 27 miles from Fort Desoto Park, in St. Petersburg, to Lido Key Beach, raising $2,500 for wounded veterans and their families. Ucello wanted to bring the first WPAsanctioned race to Siesta Key Beach to showcase Sarasota and

the No. 1 beach in the country.

“The most important thing about the race is connecting the youth and the community to the Gulf and to this water,” Ucello says. “It’s about the next generation having a sense of stewardship and responsibility toward the thing that brings us an economy, enjoyment and nourishment.”

Six of the top finishers in qualifying categories will win a plane ticket to the Hawaiian island of their choice.

There will also be a $5 raffle in which one winner will get a ticket to Hawaii.

If you go Siesta Key Classic When: 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 19, pre-registration at LeLu’s Coffee Lounge, 5252 Ocean Blvd; paddlers launch at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, April 20, at the north end of the public beach.

Cost: $35 entry fee; free to spectators; People can rent a board, paddle and flotation device for $50, which includes the entry fee.

How to stop panhandlers Editor’s note: This is the first in a series on Sarasota’s panhandler-vagrancy controversy.

It’s probably safe to say a lot of Sarasotans curse Michael Barfield, the face of the American Civil Liberties Union in Sarasota.

They associate him, and the ACLU, with being responsible for the proliferation this year of panhandlers at Sarasota’s street corners and vagrants trespassing wantonly on private property and scaring away people from Selby Library and downtown Sarasota.

In truth, Barfield told us in an interview this week, the panhandlers make him uncomfortable, too. He doesn’t give them money. When his 15-year-old daughter asked him one day while they were stopped at an intersection why he didn’t give money, Barfield says he told her: “I don’t know what the individual would use it for. A lot of them would anesthetize themselves.”

This is such an emotional issue.

We all hate making eye contact with those sign-carrying panhandlers trudging past our cars at stop lights. You sit and resist the urge to wind down your window and shout: “Get out of here!”

You feel they’re putting an ugly blemish on our beautiful city. And that’s why we want to blame Barfield and the ACLU. But as much as you want to bus Barfield out of town, he believes in his civil-liberty soul panhandlers have the constitutional right to solicit. And if you’re a First Amendment purist, which we are, you also believe they have that right.

Still, there are ways to deal with this that will disincentivize the panhandlers and make them go away. And it appears City Attorney Robert Fournier may have found the remedy, which the City Commission adopted on first reading this week.

Ordinance 13-5060 (see box) addresses the issue from the narrow focus of public safety. As the ordinance explains, it’s a public hazard to have anyone conducting solicitations and transactions when cars are “on the traveled portion” of a roadway.

Sure, Barfield and the ACLU might argue it’s not a hazard when traffic is stopped at a red light. But the hazard is real when the cars are moving. A motorist never knows when something could go awry and a panhandler inadvertently falls or trips into oncoming vehicles.

Barfield agreed. “Narrow medians are an appropriate area to regulate,” he told us. “It does present a safety issue.”

Read the ordinance. Panhandlers and political activists still will be able to hold their signs on the sides of the roads and sidewalks. They still will be able to walk along the sides of the roads begging for donations and votes. But they won’t be allowed to transact a money exchange on the street.

Is this infringing on their constitutional right to free speech and to solicit? No doubt, that will be a question some court ultimately may answer. But on the face of it, the proposed ordinance does nothing to stop a motorist, say, from pulling into the Marina Jack’s parking lot, stopping his car and handing a panhandler a few bucks.

To be sure, the ordinance makes panhandling far less convenient; it doesn’t try to outlaw it.

As written, this ordinance casts a wider

ORDINANCE 13-5060 ON PANHANDLING Section 1. Chapter 23, Peddlers and Solicitors; Article I; Sec. 23-1. Solicitation and distribution on public roads.

(a) General Findings. The City Commission hereby finds that the high volume of motor vehicles traveling on congested roads in the city of Sarasota makes mixing pedestrians and moving or temporarily stopped motor vehicles in the same space at the same time inherently dangerous.

The City Commission further finds that pedestrians distributing materials to or soliciting from occupants of motor vehicles located on the traveled portion of public roadways, involving an interaction between the pedestrian distributing or soliciting and an occupant of a motor vehicle is hazardous to public safety — both for occupants of motor vehicles and for pedestrians engaging in such distribution or solicitation.

The City Commission further finds that the prohibitions set forth in this ordinance are narrowly-tailored … and that said prohibitions leave open ample alternative channels of communication throughout the city. (b) Intent. It is the intent of this section to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the city of Sarasota; to assure the free, orderly, undisrupted movement of motor vehicles on public roadways within city limits; and to provide for safety in the interest of pedestrians and occupants of motor vehicles located on public roadways within the city of Sarasota … This section is intended to apply evenhandedly to all persons who engage in the activities proscribed herein, regardless of their message. (d) Prohibitions.

(1) No pedestrian shall go upon any public roadway or alongside any public roadway for the purpose of: a. Soliciting or attempting to solicit donations, contributions, employment, business or sales or exchanges of any kind from an occupant of a motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is on the traveled portion of the public roadway and when the solicitation or attempted solicitation results in or is intended to result in a transfer of money or any other item between the solicitor and an occupant of the motor vehicle; b. Distributing or attempting to distrib-

net. It also means the end to firefighters, police benevolent associations, veterans organizations and high-school bands and sports teams standing in the streets collecting money for their annual fund drives. But in terms of public safety, they are no different than Sarasota’s army of panhandlers.

Life is all about choices.

When this ordinance comes up for second and final reading next Tuesday, it’s predictable Barfield will find fault and challenge it. On the public safety aspect, it’s difficult to argue against. But when you get to Section 2, which outlaws places for

THE CASTAWAY by Jorge Blanco

ute any product or material to an occupant of a motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is on the traveled portion of the public roadway and when the distribution or attempted distribution results in or is intended to result in a transfer of product or material between the distributor and an occupant of the motor vehicle; (2) No pedestrian shall go upon any public roadway to advertise any message, including but not limited to any commercial or business advertisements, political or activist messages or any other message regardless of content when such is directed by the pedestrian toward occupants of motor vehicles that are on the traveled portion of the public roadway. (e) The prohibitions in subsection (d) above shall not apply to: (1) Solicitation or attempted solicitation of donations, contributions, employment, business, sales or exchanges of any kind directed toward pedestrians on sidewalks.

(2) Distribution or attempted distribution of any product or material to pedestrians on sidewalks.

(3) Displaying of advertising of any kind when the person displaying the advertising is not physically located upon the public roadway as defined above.

Section 2. Chapter 23, Peddlers and Solicitors; Article III, Panhandling; Section 23-7, Places of Panhandling: (a) It shall be unlawful to engage in an act of panhandling when either the panhandler or the person being solicited is located at any of the following locations: at a bus stop; in any public transportation vehicle or public transportation facility; at a vehicle which is parked or stopped on a public street or alley except upon permit by the city manager; in a sidewalk café; on private property, unless the panhandler has permission from the owner or occupant; in a parking lot or garage owned or operated by the city, including entryways or exits and pay stations connected therewith; in a public park, beach, fairground or sporting facility, including entryways or exits thereto; or within 20 feet in any direction from an automatic teller machine, parking meter, parking pay station or entrance to a bank. (b) It shall be unlawful to engage in the act of panhandling on any day after sunset, or before sunrise.

panhandling, the ordinance ventures into more questionable territory. If panhandling is protected free speeech, how can it be prohibited from public property or regulated by time of day?

City commissioners should continue to support Section 1 of ordinance 13-5060.

Section 2 is likely to be problematic.

In the end, if citizens really want to minimize panhandling, the answer is all about managing human incentives. If Sarasotans want the panhandlers and vagrants to go away, quit reinforcing their behavior. Don’t give them an unearned dime.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

+ The DNA of politicians Dear Editor: That was excellent exposure of the Federal Income Tax history of corruption.

Unfortunately, the lobby interest at the Congress is the major obstruction to change. There are far too many interests that do not want a change, because of the loss of financial advantage.

The politicians, subservient to lobbyist money, are not motivated and are resistant to change. A parade of former politicians over the decades/centuries created damage with which successive societies have to cope with. The damage they do is enormous, and is not easily, if ever, rectified.

April 4

The DNA of politicians, not all, but most, contains disingenuous and deceptive attributes and substantial narcissist traits.

It has never been any different, no matter the country or era. As a class, politicians are not trustworthy, albeit, there are rare exceptions.

The average voter is poorly informed of the issues impacting them, and political exploitation continues as it always has.

The actual “stupidity� of the average voter is unbelievable and incredible.

Politicians believe “the masses are asses,� and they are absolutely correct.

Great editorials; keep them coming!

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH 10:51 p.m. — 5200 block of Ocean Boulevard. Disturbance. An anonymous complainant waited on hold for 45 minutes for deputies to lodge a noise complaint against a bar. An officer drove by the location and did not hear any excessive sound.

April 6 AN HONEST MAN 8 a.m. — 1000 block of Boulevard of the Arts. Suspicious Incident. Hotel guests told an employee they saw a white male steal the license plate off of a vehicle on the property and leave on foot. A man approached the front desk and said he was the one who took the plate because he is a kleptomaniac. He left his information with staff, and said he didn’t care what they did with it, because he felt bad.

Dear Editor: Palmer Square West Condominium Association is the proud recipient of a neighborhood grant. We received this grant to remove two carrotwood trees, which are Florida Class 1 invasives. This grant enabled us to remove these trees and make our neighborhood more environmentally friendly. The seeds from these trees, whether spread by birds or wind, would have caused the growth of additional trees. These trees keep more environmentally friendly trees from flourishing. Thank you, county commissioners.

Dear Editor: I would like to commend the firefighters stationed at the Siesta Key firehouse on Midnight Pass Road. I was recently trapped in a cold elevator of our condominium for close to an hour-and-a-half on a busy traffic day. After an hour had gone by, the elevator company said they wouldn’t be able to reach me soon, so they called the fire department and requested that it rescue me. The firefighters were incredibly kind, reassuring and capable. I would like to mention the three men who were directly responsible for seeing that I was safely removed from the elevator, which was stuck between floors.

They are Lt. Scott Gottschalk, Lt. Stephen Cantu and Lt. Gabriel Scott. Florence Marino Siesta Key

MOMENTS IN TIME

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

1974

In 1974, Betty Crocker layer cake mixes cost 39 cents per box at Siesta Suprex, which was located on 205 Canal Road.

1995

April 20 The April 20, 1995, issue of the Pelican Press announced GTE was encouraging customers to begin using the new 941 area code as of May 28, 1995. Sarasotans had “permissive dialing” to use the 813 area code for nine months, until March 3, 1996. After that deadline, people received a recording prompting them to use the new area code.

GTE reminded people to change the speed-dial programming on their phones.

1983

April 18 On April 18, 1983, during a City Commission meeting, commissioners agreed to submit to court a mixed plan, which called for the election of commissioners, from three single-member districts plus two citywide at-large commissioners as opposed to a five-district, single-member election system. The new plan would allow each Sarasota voter to decide on a majority of the commission.

1976

April 22 In April 1976, the Pelican Press conducted a survey of 100 households selected, at random, in various geographic locations extending the length of the island. What it found was: • 57% of readers were college educated; • 35% had a yearly income of between $10,000 to $20,000; • 32% had an average yearly income of $20,000 to $40,000; • 13% took home more than $40,000 a year; • Owned 1.57 cars; • Dined out 6.4 times a month.

• Readers also said from time to time they sent either a full copy of the Pelican Press or clippings to friends or family living in different parts of the world.

First-graders at Southside work on April’s “Word of the Month” with their teacher, Mary Duke. Pictured in the presentation are Joey Plaster, Latora Gilliam, Eric Rubenstein, Lindsay Chapman, Sarah Crowell, Leigh Hutchinson and Jason Marien.

1985

April 18 First-grade teacher at Southside Elementary Mary Ann Duke taught pupils the meaning of words such as “etymologist” and “ornithologist,” using colorful posters she drew. The children did so well that they ended up producing a 30-second announcement that aired at 4:28 p.m.

Monday through Friday, in 1985, on Channel 4 entitled “Word of the Month.” To participate in the program, students needed to know the spelling and pronunciation of the word. They also had to audition for the program.

Join us as we celebrate the opportunity to play a role in the protection our children.

The Out-of-Door Academy sophomore pole vaulter Tre Gregory will compete in the Class 1A-Region 3 meet April 18.

From the moment Tre Gregory sets foot onto the track, The Outof-Door Academy sophomore begins sizing up his competition.

But Gregory’s competition is unlike any other.

Rather than focusing on the other competitors, Gregory turns his attention to a single bar lying motionless some 11 feet, 6 inches in the air.

With every six inches it climbs, the bar holds the key to Gregory’s fate. It will determine whether a new school record is reached or a regional berth is solidified.

“The hardest part about pole vaulting is getting over the bar,” Gregory says. “It’s like a habit now. I don’t really think about it.

I just do it.”

This season, Gregory has been on the positive end of both scenarios, having set new personal bests and school records in three meets this season.

On March 26, Gregory cleared 13-0 to win his first Sarasota County championship.

“The last three meets, I had been stuck on 12-6 and I couldn’t get past it,” Gregory says. “It was like a sigh of relief because I finally did it.”

Gregory followed up his Sarasota County championship with a second-place finish in the Class 1ADistrict 10 meet April 11, at ODA.

With his runner-up finish, Gregory earned a berth in the Region 3 meet April 18. A topfour finish there and Gregory will advance to the state meet for the first time.

“My main goal is to get to states,” Gregory says. “I’m not set on a certain height. I never have been. It would just show that all of my hard work paid off if I made it to states.”

Gregory began pole vaulting midway through eighth grade.

ODA didn’t have a pole vault coach at the time, and nobody on the team knew anything about the event.

But that didn’t deter Gregory from grabbing a pole and flinging himself into the air.

“I found it interesting,” Gregory says. “I liked the idea of flying through the air. It sort of came naturally to me.

“It wasn’t really that scary,” he says. “I’ve never been scared of heights.”

Gregory has suffered bumps and bruises, including a mild concussion, along the way, but his slight run-ins with the bar simply come with the territory.

He started at 8-0 and cleared 10-6 by the end of his first year.

Last season, Gregory cleared 11-0 and has since added two feet to his personal best.

The Out-of-Door Academy sophomore Tre Gregory cleared 12 feet, 6 inches to finish second in the pole vault at the Class 1A-District 10 meet April 11.

But, for Gregory, personal bests and school records are merely stepping stones to reaching his ultimate goal of reaching the state meet.

“I don’t really think about the actual record,” Gregory says. “Every time I reach a certain height, I push myself to get to the next height. That’s my goal every meet.”

“I liked the idea of flying through the air. It sort of came naturally to me.”

I definitely want to run Division I. I have a lot of runners in my family, and I think it would mean a lot to them, too. Being able to have an intense running program and coaches would be awesome.

I look up to (Lakewood Ranch High) runner Olivia Ortiz. She’s a friend of mine, and we used to play soccer together. I just think that she’s so amazing. She’s the one who made me want to do cross-country.

The Riverview High boys and girls tennis teams both captured Class 4A-Region 4 championships April 11, to advance to the FHSSA State Tennis Finals April 17 through April 19, in Altamonte Springs.

The girls team defeated Countryside 4-3 in the first-round regional matches April 9, when the No. 2 doubles team of Noelle Kough and Emory Conetta sealed the victory for the Lady Rams.

Across the court, the boys team defeated East Lake 5-0.

In the second-round matches, the Lady Rams defeated East Lake 5-2 to earn their sixth consecutive state tournament berth.

“I was very happy with girls this week,” coach Kathy Moore says. “I tell them when they step on the court, it’s all about the fight.

State will be tough. We are down to the final eight teams, so every match is tough. But, I said to them ‘just keep fighting the way you girls have all year.’”

Meanwhile, the Rams defeated St. Petersburg 4-1.

holy rollers

by Nick Friedman | Community Editor

For the last two years, Tim Storck has run 180 Skate to offer teens a positive outlet.

Tim Storck’s skateboard is covered in handwritten Bible verses.

he rumble of polyurethane wheels on concrete roars, as Tim Storck drops into a ramp at Payne Skate

Park. He builds up speed, barrels toward one of the park’s steep outer walls and grabs his board mid-air in an impressive show of skill.

Back on the ground, young skaters congratulate Storck, who’s standing next to his graffiti-covered skateboard. Instead of stickers and sponsor names, the grip tape is covered in hand-written Bible verses.

Tim Storck isn’t just a skater. He’s also the youth director at FirstSarasota, the Downtown Baptist Church and the founder of 180 Skate, a youth program he created through the church two years ago that combines skateboarding and ministry.

Through the program, he hopes to change people’s misconceptions about skating and provide teens with a safe way to practice their favorite activity with a posi-

tive role model.

A Sarasota native, Storck says he can relate to local teens looking for a way to unwind and have fun.

“I grew up skating here,” says Storck. “But there weren’t skate parks or anything back then, so we got into a lot of trouble. I wanted to offer something more positive for kids who want to skate.”

In its two-year existence, 180 Skate’s membership has grown from seven children to more than 20. He helps members enter competitions and earn sponsorships, and he provides them with free skateboards through partnerships with Christian skateboard companies. In exchange, he asks them to participate in the youth group — something he says they’ve responded to positively.

“It’s an avenue for them to talk about anything,” he says. “I didn’t have that growing up, and I needed it. A lot of them didn’t realize they could have fun at church.”

Jake Ilardi, a 16-year-old mem-

ber, began skating when he was 4 years old, after his grandmother bought him and his twin brother, Nate, skateboards. Jake Ilardi recently won the Tampa Am vertical-ramp contest. He says he enjoyed his time in the program.

“It’s a cool way to combine skating and church,” he says. “It’s fun that we get to skate together, and I like that it’s gotten us back into going to church. We didn’t go for a while, because our old church had no youth group.”

Storck hopes to continue to reach young skaters and give them an upper hand in the sport, as well as teach them respect and responsibility.

“I think Tim needs to be commended for what he’s doing,” says the twins’ grandmother, Paulette Moulton. “A lot of kids are getting a chance to skate who never would have. It’s great for them to have a positive role model to look up to and keep them on the straight and narrow.”

oza Prom-A-Palo SERIES

“The oneshoulder strap seems to be a trend. There is a lot more chiffon and a lot of daring, flowing fabric.”

— Clarissa Liu, Pine View

“There is a lot of weaving with the up-dos so it is Mediterranean and goes with our theme. Some people will be part of the decorations.”

— Kelly Pacifico, Pine View

Pine View students ready for Italian affair What started as a potluck dinner in a chemistry classroom has expanded to a full-on catered event with months of party planning and extravagant dance decorations.

Pine View juniors Kelly Pacifico, Clarissa Liu and April Mininsohn are ready to see the 2013 Cobalt Dance come to fruition.

The three directors of the Cobalt Dance have worked hard all year organizing fundraising events and promoting them throughout the school. They began fundraising for the dance with fellow juniors their freshman year, as each class before them has done. Every year, Pine View juniors throw the Cobalt Dance for the seniors as a send-off gift, and to keep with the tradition of the original Cobalt Dance.

Former Pine View chemistry teacher Eloise Malinsky began teaching at the school in 1971, when the school consisted of portables on Tami Sola Street.

When Malinksy entered her chemistry lab for the first time, she saw an old lab station that took up too much space.

Having just redesigned a new chemistry lab for a community college, Malinsky asked for the old station to be taken out and circular tables to be installed for ease of movement in a small space. The large white round tables reminded students of a café, and they nicknamed the portable Cobalt Café. Because cobalt is an element in chemistry, they thought the name fit.

In 1972, Malinksy agreed to be the sponsor for the Pine View class of 1973 — the first Pine View graduating class. That year, the junior class suggested a potluck dinner in the Cobalt Café and sent invita-

tions to faculty. They decorated the room and dressed to fit a Roaring ’20s theme.

Dancing took place outside after dinner.

The following year, the new junior class decided to hold the event again, and invited the seniors, as well. This time, two portables were used to accommodate the larger number of people.

As the school grew, Cobalt Café could no longer accommodate the dinner dance. It eventually moved to Alta Vista Elementary School’s cafeteria. It continued to be a potluck dinner and dance as a tribute to the seniors. This started the tradition that still exists today: The junior class raises money to host the dance for the graduating senior class.

“Pine View students always liked being different,” says Malinsky, now retired.

“They did not want a (traditional) prom, and dressing the theme was always exciting.”

The Cobalt dance was catered for the first time in 1979 and took place at the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre. That year, Ben Turoff, whose parents owned the theater, was a junior at Pine View.

Turoff’s mother, Broadway actress Roberta MacDonald, sang, and Jerry Grayson, a stand-up comic, performed. Students listened to music on tapes.

Today, students don’t have to worry about pre-recording dance music, but they do have to worry about budgeting,

Change is Sexy!

organizing fundraisers and keeping the theme a secret from the senior class. This year, the junior class chose the theme “Bella Sera: A Beautiful Night in Italia.”

“The seniors wanted a nice, classy evening event, and it fit with the personality of the senior class,” says Liu. Juniors kept it secret until the big reveal March 20. Pacifico made a video that was presented at the reveal in the school’s auditorium.

“It’s exciting to watch them and their leadership skills,” says event sponsor Mary Cantillo. “They really require little support from me at all; they take care of all the details.”

— Yaryna Klimchak

Every year, students award their fellow classmates with a spray-painted golden pine cone to recognize their uniqueness. The Cobalt Committee chooses about 12 students and honors them with the award as a reminder that their class loves them. The tradition started in 1985 when the theme was Academy Awards. Students presented every senior with a spray-painted golden pine cone mounted on a base to recognize their creativity.

Recently The New York Times reported that researchers have catalogued some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe during Hitler’s reign - a figure so staggering that even Holocaust scholars were amazed! Author Christopher Browning, Ph.D. will share his latest book, Remembering Survival: Inside a Nazi Slave-Labor Camp. Employing the rich testimony of survivors of slave-labor camps, Browning weaves the experiences of Jewish prisoners, Nazi authorities and neighboring Poles into a chilling story of an aspect of the Holocaust that is only now coming to light.

“We wanted simple dresses that also had some glitz and sparkle that was not too much. This year we were searching for classy, simple dresses or dresses that had gems and stones on the top, were fitted at the waist and then simple and flowy at the bottom.”

— Gabby Ojeda, Cardinal Mooney “All-black outfits are good for guys. White is ugly. It’s too wedding-like.”

— Sam Spano, Cardinal Mooney

“Multi-colored dresses are out.”

— Madison Siegfried, Cardinal Mooney

The Best promposal?

POP ME

“One guy put a note in a balloon that said, ‘Prom?’ and blew up the balloon; he wrote, ‘POP ME,’ on the balloon, so when the girl popped the balloon, the note asking her to prom fell out.”

— Rionna Carabbia

“I have heard of girls asking boys with pepperoni on a pizza.”

— Sam Spano, Cardinal Mooney senior attending her third prom

“Someone asked out their date with a whole bouquet of lollipops. It said, ‘Prom would suck without you.’”

— Madison Siegfried, Cardinal Mooney senior attending her third prom

Cardinal Mooney prom-goers go Vegas Students take a gamble that expensive outfits will do justice to the ‘Old School Vegas’-themed prom at Polo Grill.

A new venue and a new year has Cardinal Mooney prom-goers throwing money around like it’s Vegas.

That’s because it is.

Cardinal Mooney sophomores, juniors and seniors will sit at Blackjack tables and drink python punch in an informal club setting at the school’s “Old School Vegas”-themed prom 7:30 p.m. April 27, at Polo Grill and Bar. According to seniors, students will come to Polo Grill, the fourth different venue to host Cardinal Mooney’s prom, dressed in more expensive dresses — mature, neutral, sequined dresses, to be specific.

“You’re seeing girls spending more money on dresses,” said Sam Spano, a Cardinal Mooney senior.

“But, you’re also seeing girls wanting to wear their hair down, not up with fancy extensions.”

To pay for this year’s prom, a team of juniors came up with fundraising ideas that paid for one-third of the event’s cost.

For example, students designed and sold lanyards and held raffles.

Christa Naylor, a Cardinal Mooney media specialist in her fourth year sponsoring prom, says money to pay for the event also came from “Dress Down Days” at school, during which students exchanged their khaki-and-polo uniforms for blue jeans on Fridays.

Students had to pay $3 before a given “dress-down day,” or $5 the same day.

Last year, the Hyatt Regency hosted Cardinal Mooney’s prom. A team of the juniors looked at six venues last summer before settling on The Polo Grill and Bar as a new location.

Polo Grill will offer buffet-style food with a pasta station, hors d’oeurves and a “cake therapy” station.

Prom-goers also can drink python punch or a glass of cougar cosmo at an under-21, non-alcoholic bar.

Limos will not be provided, and Naylor encourages car-pooling.

Other standard prom procedures include the anointing of the prom court and “group fun photos.”

“It’s not just a formal, traditional

BLAST FROM THE PAST CONTEST Deadline FOR ENTRIES: May 9

prom event,” Naylor said. “There will be activities beyond dancing.”

More activity comes in the weeks before prom, during the date-asking and outfit-searching process.

For seniors, many attending their third prom, the last go-around requires more effort — and more sophistication.

“There will be gems and sequins,” Spano said. “There will be mermaidstyle dresses. There will be nothing poofy. The dresses are neutral-colored. No wedges on shoes is a given.

It’s different being a senior; it’s a lot of work, but it’s exciting.”

Prom costs $70 and will run until 11 p.m. — early by Vegas standards.

— Josh Siegel

Sarasota Bay Watch presented its first Coastal Excellence Award to Riverview High School teacher Katrin Rudge March 28, for her devotion and contribution to marine and environmental issues. Rudge has created in-classroom aquaria systems for students and provided educational outreach through the “Stars to Starfish” program she developed.

Brookside Middle School eighthgrade science teacher Susan Roberts received the Edge of Excellence Classroom Grant from the Education Foundation of Sarasota County. Brookside students will build tin-can robots Tuesday, April 23, as part of the grant, which came from a John Swift Co. endowment to The Community Foundation of Sarasota County. Students will use the knowledge of electricity they have learned in the classroom to make the robots operate.

LAUREN HENRY

Sarasota Christian School senior Lauren Henry is a little more than a month away from graduation, but she has already exceeded the school’s community service requirement. The 18-year-old, who says that community service is a lifestyle for her, has logged 350 community service hours in the past four years. The school requires 150 hours.

Volunteerism started at an early age for Henry. When she was 10, she raised $500 in donations for impoverished children during Christmastime.

She volunteers each Sunday at Bayside Community Church. She helped

pack 60,000 meals with Meals of Hope as a school-wide project. And, in ninth and 10th grade, she edited a summer newsletter at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

March 26 through March 29, Henry attended We Day, an initiative of Free the Children, an international charity and educational partner that encourages youth leadership, which took place in Seattle.

Henry is also president of her class; has a 4.0 GPA; and has been performing ballet on and off since she was 3 years old. “(Ballet) is a challenge and something I am always working to perfect,” says Henry. “I love that it is a graceful sport and applies arts and athletics.”

Henry has been a student at Sarasota Christian since kindergarten and credits her work ethic to the school.

“Our society today is really me-centered because they have not been exposed to (volunteerism),” she says.

asey Key resident Amy Ernst didn’t consider herself an artist until after her father’s death in 1984. But she says her father recognized her talent when she was a toddler getting into his paints.

Ernst is a fourthNeighborhood: generation artist.

Casey Key Her great-grandfaNEIGHBOR FOR: ther, Philip Ernst, Permanent was a painter and resident for two teacher for the deaf years; visited and blind; her grandfor 30 years father, Max Ernst, is often referred to as “the father of surrealism”; and her father, Jimmy Ernst, was an abstract surrealist.

“My family is focused on knowledge.

That’s how I see myself as an artist — as someone who disseminates knowledge,” says Ernst.

Ernst studied theater and set design at Emerson College in Boston. She considers herself a mixed-media artist and

IN HER OWN WORDS “(Casey Key) is not New York City. It’s quiet. The more I came down here, the more I started to love it and the opportunity to establish myself on my own.”

“I enjoy being able to share (my home) with my friends. It’s an escape for them.” makes prints and collages in her home on Casey Key and in New York City.

“I am establishing myself as an artist here and it’s wonderful,” Ernst says. “It’s like starting over again at the age of 60.”

Ernst permanently moved two years ago to Casey Key from New York after her mother’s death, to take care of the home she had inherited.

“I didn’t choose to be an artist, it chose me,” says Ernst. “Just like I never chose Casey Key; it chose me.”

We’re investing in watershed science for future generations.

That’s our promise.

At Mosaic, our 3,000-plus Florida employees understand that watersheds are the lifeblood of our drinking water supply, estuaries and coastal economies.

In planning our phosphate operations, we use state-of-the-art technology and hydrology modelling to verify how surface and groundwater flows before, during and after mining. Working with regulators, we can design reclaimed landscapes that provide flow to preserved floodplains — thereby replenishing flows that may have been impacted decades before mining.

Join in Mosaic’s promise at www.mosaicco.com/promise.
