Fruitville stretch could lose two lanes The concept would ‘pedestrianize’ the busy, four-lane roadway that cuts between downtown Sarasota and the Rosemary District.

City Commissioner Shannon Snyder thinks narrowing a downtown stretch of Fruitville Road from four lanes to two lanes will make it easier for residents and tourists to cross into neighborhoods and commercial areas north of downtown.

Snyder envisions a tree-lined street with wide sidewalks that would slow traffic and also rejuvenate slated development in the Rosemary District, and Central Cocoanut and Gillespie Park neighborhoods.

“When Fruitville Road was put

in, it was put in to skirt downtown,” Snyder said.

But, now, the busy road is cutting downtown off from future growth north of Fruitville Road, Snyder said. The commissioner pitched the concept of a narrowed Fruitville Road at a City

Commission capital improvements plan workshop April 23.

At the workshop, commissioners agreed to direct city staff to come up with cost estimates for the project.

“The commission directed us to take a more comprehensive look at Fruitville Road from U.S. 41 to U.S. 301,” said senior city

Residents petition court removal Current plans for the Sarasota High School renovation show that the tennis courts will be demolished to make way for a new bus drop-off and stormwater retention.

More than 600 residents have signed a petition against plans to demolish eight tennis courts at Sarasota High School as part of the $26.5 million campus renovation.

Current plans — known as

Option 5 — for the high school renovation show that the courts would be demolished to make way for a new bus drop-off loop and stormwater retention area.

Tennis advocates and residents in nearby Alta Vista and

Arlington Park who are opposed to the demolition of the courts say the project would remove a one-of-a-kind public asset.

“Those courts have been used by the public for 30-something years,” said Mike Lasche, a com-

munity advocate and avid tennis player, who posted the petition online April 15.

Nearby Payne Park has 12 tennis courts, but residents must

FRUITVILLE / FROM PAGE 1A

Proponents of narrowing this stretch of Fruitville Road say it is daunting to cross, and making the roadway two lanes instead of four would unite downtown with neighborhoods and commercial areas to the north.

Road. She called Snyder’s pitch for a twolane Fruitville Road a “smart idea.”

The project would unite downtown with neighborhoods and commercial areas north of Fruitville, Hamilton said.

“Skinny roads work better for people,” Hamilton said. “You can get across them. It might not work better for cars.”

But, some people are more worried about what the project would mean for motorists.

“That’s insane,” said Dan Lobeck, an attorney and president of Control Growth Now, in an interview with the Sarasota Observer when he heard about the proposed concept.

“What about those of us who drive?”

Lobeck said he understands the need to connect downtown to the areas north of Fruitville Road, but he is worried that narrowing the roadway is a drastic move that will lead to congestion. He wants to see some traffic studies that show how the project would impact east-to-west and west-to-east traffic.

“I sense a lack of regard for vehicle mobility in this city,” Lobeck said.

City commissioners should consider other options, such as a pedestrian overpass across the roadway, that wouldn’t nar-

planner Steve Stancel.

Snyder wants the City Commission to consider using up to $2 million in available Community Redevelopment Area funding to start with a three-block, first-phase project to narrow Fruitville Road from U.S. 41 to Lemon Avenue.

The city has previously considered several concepts to make Fruitville Road through downtown more pedestrian friendly, such as adding a series of visible crosswalks, called pedestrian sleeves, at five intersections. But a two-lane thoroughfare is a new idea.

“You want to see Rosemary take off, you do that,” Snyder said about making the road two lanes.

Commissioner Paul Caragiulo agrees, and he thinks Snyder’s concept would “pedestrianize” Fruitville Road.

It would make Rosemary feel like part of downtown — which isn’t the case now, Caragiulo said.

Fruitville Road from U.S. 41 to U.S. 301 is classified as a local road that is under the city’s jurisdiction.

Snyder thinks a narrowed Fruitville Road, combined with an eventual development on the vacant Quay property on the bayfront, will expand downtown northward and eastward.

“Everyone thinks downtown is Fruitville Road to Mound Street, and U.S. 301 to the water,” Snyder said. “We need to have a bigger vision for downtown.”

Snyder thinks a two-lane roadway leading into a proposed roundabout at Fruitville Road and U.S. 41 would flow just as well as a four-lane roadway leading into a traffic signal on U.S. 41.

“Slowing traffic doesn’t necessarily mean bottlenecking it,” Caragiulo said.

“I gotta say, I’m excited,” said Diana Hamilton a downtown advocate and a vocal proponent of narrowing Fruitville Road.

In 2008, Hamilton suggested a plan that would have removed one eastbound lane and added wider sidewalks to Fruitville

row the lanes, Lobeck said.

Hamilton had some advice for Lobeck, if the city moves forward with the roadnarrowing: “Leave five minutes early. Slow down. You’ll get there early anyway.”

Urban planner Jeff Speck, who visited Sarasota in March, mentioned the possibility of narrowing Fruitville Road and suggested that adding parking along the street and narrowing lanes would help slow traffic just enough to make it a safer environ-

ment for people walking.

“Jeff Speck said ‘Put Fruitville Road on a diet,’” said Ernie Ritz, downtown advocate.

Ritz said narrowing the road to two lanes will accomplish something the city has been trying to do for years in connecting the Rosemary District to downtown.

“I tried walking across Fruitville (at Lemon Avenue) the other day,” Ritz said. “It is a very narrow crosswalk. Cars are going by at 50 mph. And it is not the best gateway into our town.”

Snyder predicts, however, that some residents will have the same reaction as Lobeck and will oppose the proposal.

“It is going to be controversial,” Snyder said. “I’m sure there will be a lot of screaming and yelling about why we shouldn’t do this.”

Narrowing a roadway such as Fruitville Road could impact traffic concurrency requirements — and, thus, future development — but proponents of the proposal say a mobility plan adopted in 2008 allows the city to circumvent traditional transportation requirements downtown.

“We are going to a system that doesn’t require concurrency (downtown),” Snyder said.

pipe dream

3A

by Roger Drouin | City Editor

Lift station project progresses Timeline April 2011 — Construction is scheduled to begin on the lift station project with an expected completion date of October 2012.

March 2012 — Project comes to a standstill; equipment used to drill underground tunnels for new pipes is removed from the site.

July 2012 — Commissioners agree with City Attorney Robert Fournier’s assessment to hire a legal attorney at a cost of $400 per hour.

Lift Station 87 is 90% complete. The city is slated to hire engineering firm McKim & Creed to complete the project.

The first priority for the new engineer will be to assess options for installing a sewer pipe under Hudson Bayou.

Since December, Sarasota officials have been working to get a long-delayed and troubled $12.5 million lift-station construction project back on track.

On April 18, city officials released an updated project timeline that puts the final completion of the project at Aug. 1, 2015.

“We are cautiously optimistic,” said David Coe, who lives in a Central Park II condominium next to the new lift station.

City engineers updated him about the new timeline.

City engineers also assured residents the contractor will install buffer landscaping around the new Lift Station 87 in Luke Wood Park and along U.S. 41.

The new lift station, which is built mostly underground, at the southeastern corner of U.S. 41 and Osprey Avenue in Luke Wood Park, is about 90% complete, said Mitt Tidwell, city of Sarasota utilities director. It will replace the aging Lift Station 7 at 935 Pomelo Ave., close to Hudson Bayou.

GREEN LIGHT

The most difficult phase of the project, however, involves micro-tunneling under the bayou for a 36-inch main sewer pipe that will connect to the new lift station. City officials have blamed the engineering firms Boyle Engineering and AECOM Technology Corp. for failing to move ahead with the micro-tunneling phase of the project.

Complicating the micro-tunneling process, levels of lead above the state threshold for human contact were first detected in the bayou in 1992 and are said to be encapsulated below the sediment floor.

Earlier this month, the city selected a new engineering firm, Wilmington, N.C.,-based McKim & Creed, and is in the process of hiring the firm. City commissioners will vote on the new firm.

“McKim (& Creed) is aware of the urgency and the high profile of this project,” Tidwell said. “They know what they are getting into.”

The North Carolina-based McKim &

Roger Drouin

Creed has a Sarasota branch.

Coe said city engineers have been “upfront” with residents about “upcoming” challenges of the project, and residents will be watching the forthcoming construction work — especially the micro-tunneling under the bayou.

“With contaminants under the bayou, that might prove problematic,” Coe said.

Tidwell said one of the first priorities for the new engineering firm will be to assess options for installing the pipe.

“That is the key thing now, getting the pipe under Hudson Bayou,” Tidwell said.

“We want McKim & Creed to take a clean slate and try to come up with the best engineering approach.”

In the meantime, crews this week were slated to remove a pile of large pipes being stored in Luke Wood Park.

“We were really worried about the park being cleaned up,” Coe said. “We are seeing some progress.”

Palm trees that were moved into the park temporarily for a separate U.S. 41 project will be moved back into the median on U.S. 41.

December 2012 — City moves to hire a new engineer after blaming the former engineer of failing to move ahead.

Jan 3 — City of Sarasota Utilities Department crews respond to a sewage leak near Lift Station 7; an estimated 12,000 gallons of sewage spills into the Hudson Bayou April — Force main leading from the lift station completed.

May 1 — Lift station 87 in Lukewood Park is currently 90% complete.

June 1 — Anticipated date for new engineer to begin designing the sewer pipe under Hudson Bayou.

Nov. 1, 2014: Anticipated design completion.

Feb. 1, 2014 to Aug. 1, 2015: Mobilization/construction of the sewer pipe under the bayou is completed.

Aug. 1, 2015: Project is expected to be complete.

Officials OK 10th and 14th street roundabouts The project is entirely funded, but construction work is still at least four years away.

The first two of 10 multi-lane roundabouts on U.S. 41 along the bayfront got the go-ahead from the Federal Highway Administration last week.

The federal agency approved the location and design concept for the pair of roundabouts to be installed at U.S. 41 and 10th Street and U.S. 41 and 14th Street.

The approval now means the state’s Department of Transportation can begin designing the final construction plans for the two roundabouts, and it clears the way for federal funding.

The $7.9 million project would be the first of a $100 million network of roundabouts that calls for eight additional circular intersections, in addition to the two at 10th and 14th streets. The roundabouts will replace traffic lights along the bayfront.

“They will be the first ones to be constructed and open,” said Rod Warner, a roundabout proponent and member of Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization’s citizens advisory committee.

The total cost for the initial pair of roundabouts includes $800,000 for engineering design and $4 million for actual construction. The cost also includes $3.1 million for right of way acquisition.

The city is contributing an additional estimated $6.3 million of city-owned land as right of way.

The cost of construction and engineer-

Roger Drouin

Roundabout advocate Rod Warner says the first two roundabouts will bring “a remarkable” change to the bayfront. ing work will be funded, in part, with $2.5 million in state funding and $1.5 million in federal funding, said Robin Stublen, public information officer for the Florida Department of Transportation.

Warner said he hopes the first pair of roundabouts will get people acquainted to the circular traffic devices on the bayfront — before the other eight are constructed.

But, those who may not be on board with the new traffic-control devices have a few more years to enjoy the traffic lights along the bay because construction of the first two roundabouts is at least four or five years away.

“Design work will take at least two years,” Stublen said. “Right of way acquisition is another two years. In the perfect scenario it is four or five years before construction of this project would begin.”

Warner said the project to install 10 roundabouts would be the first of its kind in Florida.

“It will make Sarasota an even nicer, more welcoming place than it already is,” Warner said.

Roundabouts would also add an economic benefit to the North Trail, proponents argue. A well-planned corridor of roundabouts would clear the way for redevelopment along the North Trail and create a more inviting welcome — complete with upgrading landscaping and trees — to downtown from the airport.

Jeff Oldenburg said he thinks the first two roundabouts will set the stage for other roundabouts on U.S. 41 — including one at Martin Luther King Way and U.S. 41, near the strip mall he owns across the street from Ringling College of Art and Design.

“I asked Alex DavisShaw (city engineer) if I will live to see the roundabout at Martin Luther King in my lifetime, and she said I would,” Oldenburg said. “‘So, it’s not a mirage?’ I asked.”

“It will give the city’s gateway an aesthetically pleasing look,” Oldenburg said.

Oldenburg thinks it will keep traffic flowing, because there will be no red

lights, but slow down the rate of speed motorists travel, making it a safer and more pleasant place for pedestrians and bicyclists on the North Trail.

Oldenburg said when he is downtown, he goes out of his way to drive through the roundabout at Five Points because it’s a more-pleasing drive.

Early discussions are under way for some element of public art to be installed in the middle of the roundabouts on U.S. 41, Warner said.

NEWSBRIEFS + Property owners file petition against Walmart decision Owners of the Ringling Shopping Center, Louis and Diana Doyle, are asking that a judge review the City Commission’s denial of a proposed Walmart at the Ringling Shopping Center.

The Feb. 23 City Commission denial reversed an earlier Planning Board approval of the site plan for the 98,000-square-foot supercenter.

The legal challenge, a petition for certiorari, was filed April 23, just before the deadline to file an appeal. In their suit against the city of Sarasota, the Doyles are seeking non-monetary or injunctive relief.

“The Doyle family is the petitioner,” said Sarasota City Attorney Bob Fournier. “At some point, I hope to talk to their attorney and find out more. We will talk to see if there are any other solutions.”

The property owners argue they went through the adequate process by holding neighborhood meetings and that they received written analysis from city staff stating why the project was consistent with the city’s zoning plan.

They also argue that some of the residents who appealed the Walmart project were not “aggrieved persons” and that the appellants did not follow the proper process to file an appeal.

Amateur sculptors carve their niches The Siesta Key Amateur Sand Sculpture Contest returns for its 41st year.

Sitting on the white crystal sand that makes up Siesta Key Beach, it’s difficult to resist the urge to scoop it into piles and begin sculpting.

Its fine consistency allows for tight packing, and the beach provides a convenient medium for beachgoers to tap into their inner artist and get creative.

This Saturday, May 4, aspiring sand sculptors can put their skills to the test at the 41st annual Siesta Key Sand Sculpture Contest.

Sarasota County Parks and Recreation beach event coordinator Jonathan Poyner has been involved with the contest for four years, and he says he can relate to the natural urge to turn sand into art.

“I think we’re all kids at heart,” he says. “At some point, we’ve all filled buckets with sand, and when we were kids, we had that sense of adventure. It really brings you back.

Even just watching other people sculpt can remind people of their childhood.”

About 40 competitors of all ages and skill levels will come, buckets and shovels in hand, to Siesta Key Beach to compete in the four categories, including adult humorous; adult miscellaneous; youth ages 11 to 17; and children ages 10 and younger.

This year, sunscreen company Ocean Potion, a sponsor, will offer an area filled with umbrellas, beach chairs and featuring a professional sand sculptor performing demonstrations. Other event sponsors include: Observer Media Group; Visit Sarasota County; the

Andrew Dailey won the People’s Choice Award last year with his sculpture “Pirecan.”

Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce; the Siesta Key Village Association; the Best Western Plus: Siesta Key; and The Broken Egg. This year’s contest offers $1,500 in total cash prizes, and Poyner says the event is a great starting

point for local sculpting enthusiasts with aspirations to turn professional.

“Sculptors who hope to be a professional can get some experience and exposure,” he says. “We’ve had a few people go on to have success-

ful professional careers, like Brian Wigelsworth, who won three years in a row.”

Last year’s winner, Andrew Dailey, says he only began sand sculpting two years ago, after his fiancé encouraged him to try it.

The tattoo artist and painter says the Siesta Key Sand Sculpture Contest was his first real competition.

“Some of my two-dimensional skills transfer, but it’s a lot different,” he says of sand sculpting. “I get a little better every time, and our Siesta Key sand is gorgeous.

I’ve competed in other contests around the state, and our sand packs much tighter and you can build much taller with it.”

Regardless of skill level, anyone is invited to compete or just admire the work of others.

“My favorite part is that it gives the community something to do with family or friends for free,” says Poyner. “And, it provides people an outlet to express their artistic abilities.”

and Theisen said they were not aware of the public meeting.

“They just went through resurfacing them two or three years ago,” Lasche said.

“Now, here they are talking about tearing them down. It doesn’t make sense.”

Theisen said the Alta Vista Neighborhood Association was surprised to hear of the plans to remove the tennis courts.

“The neighbors have no input, and the parents don’t seem to have any input,” Theisen said.

In his April 29 letter, Theisen said the courts should be saved and kept open for public use.

“Some (school) board members might argue that school facilities should not be used by the public, but it is the public who pays for these facilities,” the letter reads. “Bills SB 392 and HB 525 have been proposed in the Florida Legislature that encourage school systems to share their athletic facilities with the public that pays for them.”

Evelyn Herring, a member of the WoW women’s tennis league who signed the petition, said she feels that students should be learning tennis and is worried about what options there would be for the high school teams.

“Where will the team go?” she asked.

Lasche said on most afternoons when the weather is nice there will be dozens of residents using the Sarasota High courts and nearby tennis/handball backboards.

Regional high school tournaments are also held at the high school’s courts, which were resurfaced about three years ago.

On April 29, Alta Vista Neighborhood Association President Pete Theisen, representing the neighborhood association, sent a letter to the Sarasota County School Board asking the school board to keep the courts in future plans for the high school.

“These facilities have been used by thousands of area residents and are a valuable resource for the public,” the letter reads.

Lasche said he was also concerned about what would happen to the boys and girls tennis teams at Sarasota High School.

There are no replacement courts in current plans for the school’s renovation and no plans designating where the high school’s tennis teams would practice, said Scott Lemke, chief operating officer of the Sarasota County school system.

“The school administration has said that is not an integral part of the instructional program there,” Lemke said.

One possible alternative is for the Sarasota High tennis teams to use nearby city or county parks that have tennis courts, but the school board has not considered a specific plan.

Opponents of the tennis-court removal plan to bring the petition to school board members later this month. The school board is slated to vote on the final contract for the renovation project over the next few months.

Sarasota police chief stresses crime prevention After a rash of four burglaries in the Alta Vista neighborhood, Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino is urging neighborhood residents to use their best judgment and take precautions to avoid being victimized.

Police announced Monday, April 22, that they were investigating the burglaries, all of which took place over the previous 10 days. In one incident, a woman woke up to find two suspects in her bedroom. Reported stolen items include electronics, jewelry and vehicles.

During the Thursday, April 25, Alta Vista Neighborhood Association meeting, DiPino spoke to a room of concerned residents seeking an update on the situation.

“This is very unusual,” she said of the burglaries. “We’re telling everyone to lock their doors and windows in their homes and cars. Criminals are opportunists; so don’t make it easy for them. Keep your valuables out of sight, too.”

DiPino says the burglaries can possibly be attributed to drug addiction. She offered additional tips, including keeping homes well lit and bushes neatly trimmed.

Sgt. Pat Robinson, who also attended the meeting, told attendees that, statistically, they live in one of the safest neigh-

“It’s important to know who your neighbors are,” said DiPino. “They’re the ones who know if someone doesn’t belong outside of your house, and they can call you or the police. It’s part of being a community.”

Father and son create an appetite for words with book Barron and Sy Schimberg are donating the money from their children’s book, ‘Pancakes and Pickles,’ to the Miracle League of Manasota.

thinking about potential service opportunities for his upcoming bar mitzvah, and he decided “Pancakes and Pickles” was the perfect project. He and his father decided to complete the book, self-publish it and donate the proceeds to Miracle League of Manasota, a nonprofit that provides special-needs children an opportunity to play baseball.

Barron Schimberg says his family has volunteered with the organization for several years and that it seemed like an appropriate opportunity for the self-described “baseball family” to give back.

“It was a perfect fit,” says Barron Schimberg. “When we realized we could use the book to donate money to Miracle League, that became the push we needed to finally finish writing.”

Barron Schimberg presented the idea in January to the head of the illustration department at Ringling College, and 13 students divided up the work and brought the book to life.

“I was a little nervous,” says Barron Schimberg. “I didn’t know if they’d be able to capture what we had in our heads. But, they nailed it. I couldn’t ask for more.”

a r g o e t S

After officially self-publishing the book several weeks ago, Barron and Sy Schimberg have sold 24 copies so far. They say they’re both happy with the final product, and they look forward to seeing other people’s reactions.

Barron Schimberg and his son, Sy, wrote “Pancakes and Pickles” over the course of seven years.

Seven years ago, Barron Schimberg and his 5-year-old son, Sy, stopped in a local diner for breakfast. When the server handed Sy his plate of pancakes, she asked him a question that would stand out in his mind for years to come.

“Would you like a pickle with that?”

The suggested combination caught the two off guard, and they couldn’t help but laugh. Barron Schimberg suggested that “Pancakes and Pickles” would make a great title for an alphabet book, and he and Sy began to contemplate what other foods might make odd, alliterative pairings.

Over the course of the next seven years, Sy and his father periodically worked together on the book during long trips and in their free time. For each letter of the alphabet, they chose two mismatched foods, and then they would create an accompanying character and backstory for each letter.

“It was just something fun to do,” says Barron Schimberg.

“We’d sit together at the computer and come up with these backstories. We never thought anything would come of it.”

MOMENTS IN TIME

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

1983

April 28 Ninemonth– old Billy Herb appeared quite impressed with the “Best of Show Award” given to his parents, Bill and Leslie, during Siesta Fiesta, for their raku ware, a Japanese pottery technique that dates back to the 16th century.

— Taken from the April 28, 1983, Observer archives

1978

May 4 Charles Dubic was enjoying his early morning walk Tuesday, May 2, 1984, on Siesta Key beach, when he noticed dead sharks had either washed up or been dumped on the shore at Beach Road and Avenida Messina. A number of other sea-life creatures were also found dead nearby.

Seven sharks, three large tunicates, a Jack fish, a large crab and a huge stingray were among the dead. Bob Pelham, of Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, identified five of the sharks as bonnet heads, which grow to a size of about 3 feet, and other two as black tips, also a small species of shark.

Pelham said the sea-life had been dead for a couple of days.

“They were all apparently someone’s catch and had been dumped,” Pelham said. “But I can’t figure out why they’re all together in one spot. Usually they’re found scattered.

They generally wash up about a mile apart when they’re dumped out of a boat.”

Jen Blanco

Sarasota resident and 2004 Riverview High graduate Lindsey Bergeon was one of 12 golfers selected to be on ‘Big Break Mexico,’ which premieres May 13, on the Golf Channel.

A thick band of humidity blankets the air around the putting green at Laurel Oak Country Club as storm clouds slowly begin to make their way across the horizon.

The course is relatively quiet this particular Thursday afternoon in mid-April, with only the occasional golf cart whizzing past or the sound of iron splitting the silence.

But, off to the right, on the putting green, one golfer stands alone.

Dressed in a black Golf Channel visor, black golf shirt and argyle shorts, Sarasota resident and 2004 Riverview High graduate Lindsey Bergeon walks back and forth across the green carefully lining up shot after shot.

She’s completely in her element. It isn’t surprising because, it’s the one area on the course Bergeon has routinely felt at home.

A few swings later, Bergeon whips her headphones out of her ears, packs up her clubs and prepares for what lies ahead.

As she makes her way back up to the club, countless members stop by to greet Bergeon — the vast majority of whom are eager to learn more about their hometown star’s recent adventure.

A sly smile spreads across Bergeon’s face. It’s the same look she’s given to everyone who has approached her about the subject. And her response has always been the same.

“I hope you’re right,” she says.

Bergeon has spent the past three months walking on eggshells after having been one of 12 golfers selected to be on the Golf Channel’s “Big Break Mexico,” which premieres May 13.

The reality show pits six men and six women against one another for a chance to play a professional tour event.

Bergeon applied for the show last May and learned late last year that she had been selected.

“I cried,” Bergeon says. “I was so stunned. I was so sure I wouldn’t make it. I knew the interview went great, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up.”

Bergeon didn’t tell anyone, with the exception of her mother, Lori, and fiancé, Kyle Phillips, that she had been chosen for the show.

Bergeon spent three weeks filming at Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf and Spa Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

“I’m excited to see it,” Bergeon says. “I felt like I was true blue to my character and myself 100% of the time.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about something from the show and smile about it,” Bergeon says. “It was a little bit like Cinderella. It was magical. It was kind of like living a dream for a short period of time.”

During the 12-episode season, competitors start out as teammates before eventually

becoming rivals as they fight to win various challenges.

“It was the craziest, most stressful, most mind-blowing experience of my life,” Bergeon says. “Beyond just being on a golf reality show, it was a good chance for me to learn about myself.

“When you have 16 cameras and a 1,000-person crew, you see what you are made of,” Bergeon says.

Since she returned from Mexico, the usually open Bergeon has had to constantly remind herself to not give away any details.

“I’m constantly on guard,” Bergeon says. “I’ll usually just say whatever pops out of my mouth. It’s definitely taught me how to think before I speak. It’s a play of words all of the time.”

Although this may have been the most pressure Bergeon has been under, the 26-year-old is no stranger to the spotlight.

Bergeon began playing golf when she was 11 years old, after spending ample time on the course with her grandfather while her mom, a single mother, worked as nurse in the intensive care unit at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Bergeon quickly discovered she had a knack for the game and began competing in Greater Sarasota Junior Golf Association Tournaments that year.

“I thought, ‘I can do

this,’” Bergeon says. “I’m an only child and we tend to be super confident because we’re our whole family’s world.

“I really liked it,” Bergeon says. “It’s so different because it’s not an easy game in general.

I was passionate about it right away.”

Bergeon spent four years playing for Riverview. She finished second in the state individually as a junior.

Bergeon went on to play for Florida Southern College in Lakeland, allowing her to remain close to her mom and golf coach at the time.

Bergeon turned professional upon graduation and has spent the past five years playing various pro tours around the world.

“I’ve been able to be a little selfish,” Bergeon says. “I’ve been able to travel the world and see so many places. I’ve put my personal life on hold, to an extent, but it’s been a great experience to see the places I’ve been able to see at my age.”

This year, Bergeon, who trains at Laurel Oak with Matt Auen, the club’s director of golf, plans to play the Canadian Tour and the State Opens with the hopes of one day playing on the LPGA Tour.

“That’s definitely my ultimate goal, but I’m lucky to be where I am,” Bergeon says.

Zack Summerall

Our Five Star Bank Complimenting Sarasota, Our Five Star Community

Sarasota High sophomore Zack Summerall crossed the finish line in 4:22.09 to win the 1,600-meter run at the Class 3A-Region 3 meet April 25, at Charlotte High.

With the win, Summerall earned a berth in the Class 3A State Finals May 3, at the University of North Florida.

Summerall also qualified in the 800 (1:57.12) with a third-place finish.

Striving to be a good neighbor and your bank of choice!

It means a lot to have qualified for the state meet.

Coming in last year as a relative nobody and then making it to states in two events is a big deal to me.

At the beginning of the year, I liked the 800 more, but now I like the mile.

The times when I’m running the mile, I like the mile more, and the times I’m running the 800, I like the 800 more.

1680 Fruitville Rd. Sarasota, FL 34236 941-684-5600

more of a family event.

I’m ranked No. 1 in the mile right now, and I want to try to win it at states. In the 800, I’m seeded seventh. For the 800, I’m mainly focused on breaking the school record, which is 1:54:00.

I’m at 1:56:00 right now. I also think with a lot more competition there to push me, I could break the school record in the mile. It’s 4:21.20 and I’m at 4:22.09.

In middle school I didn’t think I was a distance runner. A mile was my max. But, now, I actually like distance more. I’ve done two half-marathons and those are fun.

Coming off cross-country season where I won country and district championships and ran a sub16 (5K), which is every runner’s dream, I was like, “OK, track season should be good.� My mile was a 4:42:00, and I ran a 4:27:00 at the FSU relays. That was when I realized I kind of like this race.

CONFIDENT STRIDES More than 100 girls from eight area schools will run in the Girls Inc. sponsored Girls on the Run 5K.

Lilly Dougherty, right, runs the track with a friend at Phillippi Shores Elementary School in preparation for the upcoming Girls on the Run 5K Saturday, May 4, at Nathan Benderson Park.

A

s outreach instructor for the Sarasota chapter of Girls on the Run, Whitney Bartlett can relate to the girls with whom she works.

In high school, Bartlett struggled with many of the same problems these young girls face today. She dealt with gossiping, body-image and self-esteem issues, and she struggled to find a sense of belonging. But, after a friend took her on a five-mile run during her sophomore year, the now-avid runner knew she had found her passion.

“After that run, I felt like I was being proactive in improving my self-confidence,” she says. “Running was what brought me peace and understanding, and it was a healthy way to battle my demons.”

In 2004, she learned about Girls on the Run, a national program designed to teach young girls healthy life lessons while they train for a 5K. The program’s mission resonated with her, and she decided to get involved.

“When I heard there was a program that could head off a lot of those issues before they really take effect in middle school, I knew it was the perfect job for me,” says Bartlett. “If I can help girls not go through what I did, then that’s amazing.”

Bartlett was influential in bringing the program to Sarasota, and after a year of hosting it through the YMCA in Venice, she partnered with Girls Incorporated of Sarasota County. She now serves as the liaison between the local and national chapter of Girls on the Run, and she says partnering with Girls Inc. has been a perfect fit, because the organizations have such similar mission statements.

Today, Bartlett is sitting with a small group of girls at Phillippi Shores Elementary. For the last 12 weeks, she’s worked with the girls to pass along valuable lessons and help them get in shape for the program’s upcoming annual 5K run at

Nathan Benderson Park. This year marks the first time the 5K has been officially sanctioned by the Manasota Track Club, and more than 100 girls in grades three to five will participate. Other participating schools include Venice Elementary, Pine View, Gocio Elementary, Bay Haven Elementary, Laurel Nokomis School, Student Leadership Academy and Imagine Elementary North Port.

The group meets twice a week at the school, where they practice running, work out and talk about important issues, such as bullying, gossiping and conflict resolution.

Today, they’re crafting thank-you notes for school employees they feel deserve more recognition. As they cut and paste, they laugh, sing songs and talk about the May 4 race, for which they’ve been training.

“It’s amazing to see their smiling faces as they cross the finish line,” says Bartlett. “And it’s great to be able to make that connection between healthy minds and healthy bodies. A lot more than running takes place on those laps.”

If you go: Girls on the Run 5K — takes place at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 4, at Nathan Benderson Park, 2500 N. Honore Ave., Sarasota. Cost is $30. Visit girlsincsrq.org/programs/girls-on-the-run.

SEAN MCDONALD

The Out-of-Door Academy secondgrade teacher Sean McDonald didn’t expect to live in sunny Florida. In fact, he didn’t expect to be a teacher, but he discovered his passion for teaching when he took courses in childhood education while studying pediatrics at Webster University in St. Louis.

McDonald met ODA headmaster David Mahler in 2004 at an ODA cocktail party while he was vacationing in Sarasota, and has been teaching at the school ever since.

“I fell in love with (teaching),” McDonald says. “I struggled and had a tough school experience myself, and thought, ‘maybe I can give back and make kids like school just a little bit.’”

McDonald’s second-graders like school more than just a little bit. Every day after lunch, McDonald reads a book to his students. The children had become so invested in the book they were reading that they were upset they could not hear the story during their spring break, so McDonald filmed himself reading a chapter and

“Living in Japan was not only a great adventure, but also a great educational experience,” Wagner says.

While living in Japan, Wagner became involved with ikebana, the ancient tradition of Japanese flower arranging. She has continued to practice ikebana stateside and has even been invited to Disney’s Epcot Center three years in a row to give flower demonstrations with fellow Ikebana International members.

The Wagners moved to Sarasota after John Wagner retired. They’d grown tired of living between homes in Connecticut and Boynton Beach. They fell in love with Sarasota’s cultural scene

and decided to sell both homes and move here.

The couple lived at University Park Country Club before moving about two years ago to Bay Plaza, to be closer to downtown and the arts. Wagner misses Tokyo, but is happy to be close to family and the cultural art scene of Sarasota.
