City considers mixed use for garage Three possible concepts each add more than 30,000 square feet of space for additional uses, ranging from 45 condo units to a luxury rehab spa on top of the State Street parking garage.

The city is considering amping up the “mixed” aspect to its mixed-use garage project on State Street.

During the City Commission meeting Monday, May 3, city planners and representatives from A.D. Morgan, the designand-build team the city chose to build the project, presented four

concepts for the parking project.

The base plan would include about 386 public parking spaces and 14,000 square feet of retail on the first floor. The city would sell the retail space. That model would result in a smaller — albeit similar — version of the Palm Avenue garage, which includes 743 spaces and 11,200 square feet of

first floor commercial space.

The three other concepts, however, each add more than 30,000 square feet of space for additional uses ranging from 45 condo units to a luxury rehab spa on top of the garage.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT

by Roger Drouin | City Editor

Hotel, apartments planned for Palm The development would be built at the site of a failed 2006 luxury condo project at the corner of Palm Avenue and Ringling Boulevard.

Attorney and developer John Meshad’s JWM Management Inc., a Sarasota-based commercial development firm, submitted to the city May 30 plans to build a 10-story hotel and apartment tower at one of downtown’s most visible corners.

The preliminary plan for the project, named “One Palm,” at

the corner of Palm Avenue and Ringling Boulevard, features a hotel and apartment units surrounding a courtyard area.

The project is slated for one acre of vacant land at the southern corner of a 2.95-acre property at 240 S. Pineapple Ave. The property has sat undeveloped since 1986, when plans to develop a hotel on the site fell through.

At that time, when construction at the office plaza began, the project was slated to also contain a pair of office towers and a 250room Radisson Hotel. But Radisson withdrew form the project when developer JBS Ltd. defaulted on a loan and could no afford Roger Drouin to build the project.

GARAGE / FROM PAGE 1A called Option A, Option B and Option C, would allow a private developer to work with the city to build above or directly beside the parking shell. Those options would ultimately lead to a more complex project than the Palm Avenue garage, which opened in December 2010.

Mayor Shannon Snyder liked Option C the best.

“I was in favor of retail on the ground floor, parking garage and condos on Lemon Avenue,” Snyder said after the meeting.

Asked why not just build a project similar to the Palm Avenue garage, which did not include residential units, Snyder said that the more uses in the State Street garage, the more of a positive impact it will have on downtown.

“It shouldn’t just be a place where people come to go to bars or restaurants. It should be a place where people live,” said Snyder.

In options A, B and C, the city would undertake a public-private partnership, in which the city would fund construction of the parking spaces, while private developers would pay for additional residential or other uses incorporated into the development, said Sarasota Senior Planner Steve Stancel.

The State Street project would also differ from Palm Avenue in the way the city selects retail occupants for the first floor of the project.

“This is different than Palm Avenue,” Stancel told commissioners Monday. “(Real-estate broker) Ian Black will work with us from the beginning. It is being actively marketed as we develop these plans.”

Commissioner Suzanne Atwell said she did not want to see a re-

peat of the long wait before retail space was sold on the first floor of the Palm Avenue garage. Louies Modern and The Francis, a catering/banquet facility, moved into that space in April, more than two years after the garage was built.

Steve Horn, a broker/partner at Ian Black Real Estate, assured commissioners his company already has “significant interest in the retail space.”

Horn has also heard from several developers interested in partnering with the city to build a residential component. Developers were most excited about Option C, he said.

“It makes the most sense to have a residential component,” Horn said. “It’s the right timing in the market to do it.”

Under the city’s zoning, the project could add up to 45 residential units downtown.

Although commissioners did

not choose a specific plan Monday, in a unanimous vote they directed city staff and A.D. Morgan to proceed with creating more detailed concepts, while trying to reach an agreement with a prospective developer.

Commissioner Paul Caragiulo agreed with Snyder.

“What I don’t want to see is solely parking deck(s),” Caragiulo said. “I’d like to see the most practical and best use of space that maximizes the potential for tax revenue.”

City Manager Tom Barwin compared the State Street project to Sarasota’s Palm Avenue garage in terms of financing structure, in which the city funds construction of the parking spaces and a private developer pays for additional uses.

The mix of different uses is more similar, however, to a mixed-use parking garage proj-

ect in Oak Park, Ill., where Barwin was village manager from 2006 to 2012, the city manager said. The Oak Park project was designed to include 270 residential units, in addition to 588 parking spaces and 25,000 square feet of commercial space.

Barwin considered the project’s location to be a “signature site,” and the goal of its development was to make Oak Park’s downtown more of a place to “live, work and shop,” according to Oak Park’s request for proposals.

The State Street project remains fluid while A.D. Morgan designs elements of architecture, building layout and exact square footage, and Rebecca Smith, president of A.D. Morgan, said designers remain flexible as additional feedback comes in from public workshops.

The next public meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. June 20, in the

City Commission Chambers at City Hall, 1565 First St. “By the end of July we hope to bring back to you a concept plan, including a couple of façade options,” Stancel told commissioners.

Snyder would also like to see the city work with the county on creating a Tax Increment Financing improvement district to fund streetscape improvements on State Street at the same time the parking project is constructed.

“State Street is an extension of Main Street,” Snyder said.

The city has set aside $7.29 million in tax-increment financing for the parking project.

Construction is slated to begin in February.

The city must have the project built by February 2015, because of a 2010 agreement with Pineapple Square. The site is currently home to a 139-space-parking lot.

City commission to fill Planning Board seat

3A

PUSH FOR CHANGE

by Nick Friedman | Community Editor

A new member will join before several key issues come to the board.

During the month of May, three developers submitted project plans to the city’s planning department, of which two will go before the Sarasota Planning Board at some point.

As the economy begins to recover, that number of developments is expected to increase. In addition to the possible spike in proposed developments, big issues could come before the Planning Board, including the concept of a possible citywide formbased code and discussions about whether to increase density, or the maximum number of residential units allowed per acre downtown.

But, a new Planning Board member will join the board before those issues rise to the forefront.

City commissioners are scheduled to appoint a Planning Board mem-

ber to fill a seat on the five-member board June 17. Commissioner Susan Chapman, elected to the City Commission in May, vacated that seat last month. Chairwoman Jennifer Ahearn-Koch, Vald Svekis, Morton Siegel and Chris Gallagher currently sit on the board.

As of June 5, community activist Cathy Antunes, architect Dale Parks and downtown advocate Tony Souza have filed applications for the open post on the five-member board. The deadline to apply for the open seat is Friday, June 7.

Although the board is considered an advisory committee to the City Commission, it has final say on certain development site plans.

Both Chapman and City Commissioner Paul Caragiulo agreed the plan-

ning board is a key advisory board.

But the two commissioners differ on qualifications they’d like to see in the new board member.

“I’m looking for someone who is the least politically inclined person,” Caragiulo said. “Someone who will look at the data and make a decision.”

Chapman said she’s looking for someone willing to spend time reading the city’s Comp Plan and building code and follow standards set in those documents. She’d also like to see someone who’s involved in the community fill the seat.

“I am replacing what I represented,” said Chapman, a longtime neighborhood advocate before she was elected to the City Commission.

“I would be voting for that — for community involvement.”

PLANNING BOARD SEAT APPLICANTS Cathy Antunes

Cathy Antunes said she wants the most-compatible developments for the city.

“Everyone would say they are for smart growth,” Antunes said.

“What would the alternative be?

Stupid growth?”

The Golden Gate Point resident said one kind of development she would like to see come downtown, as the economy recovers, is a hotel large enough to host conventions.

Antunes is open to considering density increases in the Rosemary District and downtown, which she wants to be more walkable, although the “devil is in the details.”

Antunes, who felt the proposed Ringling Plaza Walmart did not fit in with the city’s building code, said she would be willing to say no to certain projects if that would push the developer to revise a project that does not fit in a certain area.

Antunes formed the grassroots Citizens for Responsible Government to fight a County Commission decision to place a spring-training baseball field on Sarasota County Fairgrounds for the Boston Red Sox. Antunes later led the effort to sue the county concerning its $31 million plan to help build a new stadium for the Baltimore Orioles.

Since then, the group has pursued legal action against the county concerning commissioner term limits. Antunes opposed the city’s decision to sell a parcel of city land at Fruitville and Beneva roads directly to Benderson Development Corp.

In 2011, Antunes ran against County Commissioner Joe Barbetta.

DALE PARKS

Tony Souza

Dale Parks, who runs his own architecture firm, first came to Sarasota in 1985 as an intern architect at Siebert Architects.

If appointed to the Planning Board, Parks would be the only architect.

“Having a formal architect is an important thing for the planning board,” Parks said.

Parks would like to see a focus on the basic elements of the Downtown Master Plan. In 2000, the architect worked for Cardinal, Carlson and Parks Architecture, the local firm that partnered with urban planner Andres Duany to work on the master plan.

With eight years of experience, from 2003 to 2011, serving on the city’s Community Area Redevelopment (CRA) advisory board, Parks has given input on several city-private ventures proposed, and built, in the city.

One of the important tasks of the planning board is to offer insight on these larger publicprivate projects, such as the planned State Street mixed-use garage.

He points to downtown’s Whole Food as one example of how such projects need close scrutiny.

The design the city got from Whole Foods was not urban because the grocery’s building has only limited windows along Lemon Avenue, First Street and Second Street, Parks said.

“If we scrutinized that project a little better from an architectural standpoint, we might have ended up with a little better project,” Parks said.

Tony Souza said planning is key in Sarasota, where there is only so much space left for new construction and redevelopment.

“I don’t want to see it get overbuilt,” Souza said. “I want to see progress. But I want to see good progress for the city.”

High-end retail and residential are two kinds of development Souza would like to see more of in downtown.

“We have 93 restaurants near downtown,” Souza said.

“I am glad we have all those restaurants, but I’d like to see a little more retail come in.”

Souza doesn’t think big box stores fit in the city’s downtown.

In 2007, Souza led an effort to try to get the city to relax density limitations from 25 to 50 units per acre in an effort to attract more affordable housing in the district north of Fruitville Road. He is a proponent of recent talks to consider density increases in the downtown core.

But Souza said projects outside downtown have to be weighed differently than those downtown.

“What you want to review carefully is variances from the code,” Souza said. “I think residential should remain residential, and business areas should remain business areas.”

Souza is chairman of the Downtown Sarasota Alliance and a member of the Community Redevelopment Agency advisory board.

Martha Smith, owner of Le Grand Bisou Caribbean Boutique, is one of several business owners hoping for changes to the Siesta Key Overlay District.

Village merchants advocate Overlay District revisions Some Siesta Key business owners say parts of the 12-year-old zoning code are hurting business.

According to a group of Siesta Key Village retailers, a recent increase in code enforcement on the Key, during a time when commerce is already beginning to slow after season, has had a negative impact on their businesses.

Members of the Siesta Key Village Association, in conjunction with Sarasota County staff members, hosted a Siesta Key Overlay District educational workshop Tuesday, May 21, to ensure all Village business owners were familiar with the rules outlined in the zoning code. Since the workshop, several retailers have learned that some of their business practices in violation of the zoning code.

One portion of the zoning code prohibits any type of outdoors merchandise display, which several business owners say is their main method of attracting customers.

Martha Smith, owner of Le Grand Bisou Caribbean Boutique, on Ocean Boulevard across from Davidson’s Plaza, has used mannequins to display her merchandise from beneath the eave of her storefront since opening in November. In the weeks since she’s removed her outdoor merchandise to comply with code, she says her daily sales numbers dropped from $1,665 to $195 — nearly a 90% decrease.

“People think I’m closed now, because I’ve had to move all of my merchandise inside,” says Smith. “I’m happy to compromise. I can understand the desire to keep the Village looking nice and keep things out of the sidewalks, but for the smaller retail stores, it’s already hard enough for us to let people know we’re here.”

If merchants choose to continue to violate code, they face citation from code-enforcement officers and subsequent court hearings.

Smith says she’s interested in forming a committee to help formulate revision in the zoning code, and several businesses have already expressed interest in joining. The focus of the committee would be to take proposed changes either directly to the Sarasota County Zoning Department for a $1,000 fee, plus the advertising cost for subsequent public hearings, or to bring the issue before county commissioners, who would then work with zoning and incur the costs.

Drafted in 2001, the Siesta Key Overlay District has seen minor revisions since its inception, but no major overhauls.

When the issue came up at the monthly Siesta Key Village Association meeting Tuesday, June 4, President Cheryl Gaddie and other board members encouraged concerned businesses to collaborate with all stakeholders, including fellow business owners, as well as residents and the county, to reach a solution that would benefit everyone.

Board members also suggested bundling all issues with the overlay district — not just the outdoor-merchandise portion — before moving forward.

But James Ritter, owner of Siesta Village Outfitters, says in the months it could take to see change, his business will continue to suffer if he continues to comply with code.

“This could take a few months,” said Ritter at the SKVA meeting. “By then, I could be closed. I’ve put my heart into this business.”

Gaddie and SKVA board members say they are willing to do whatever they can to help support business owners in the Village.

“Hopefully we can get (the code) changed to better serve us and the community,” says Smith. If businesses like mine can’t survive, that’s not helping anyone.”

The University of Florida School of Architecture will have a masters program with as many as 50 students in downtown Sarasota by fall 2014.

On Wednesday, June 5, Sarasota County commissioners approved a 10-year lease with two five-year options with the University of Florida Board of Trustees for the historical building at 261 S. Orange Ave. beginning Feb. 1, 2014.

The university will spend about $150,000 to renovate the historic building, designed in the style of the Sarasota School of Architecture.

The county will have to relocate its print shop and mailroom currently located in the building, which could cost roughly $30,000, said Sarasota County Director of Facilities Services Ed Gable.

D-Day: Memorial Day cont’d First, a few statistics to ponder.

There are 25 million living American veterans. Since Gen. George Washington commanded the Continental Army, 42 million Americans have served the colors. A million have been killed in its defense. Another million and a half wounded.

When most of us think about military cemeteries, the first thought that comes to mind is “America’s Valhalla,” Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia, but there are many, many more across the United States. Most Americans also don’t know there are 24 American cemeteries maintained overseas with 125,000 graves of our fallen — 61,000 in France alone — the result of two wars that saved Europe from horrors unimaginable to Americans today; unimaginable, that is, unless you were a veteran of that war who saw it all with their young eyes so those who were safe in America, and those of us yet unborn, would never have to. There are also memorials overseas to an additional 94,000 Americans who were lost at sea, or their remains never recovered from 1,000 foreign battlefields.

With all this service and loss, we as Americans can be proud of the kind of people we are, as we have fought not to conquer others but to defend ourselves.

We have never enslaved any with whom we have fought. We possess no empire. On the contrary, billions across the planet are today — and billions yet unborn — live free because Americans have fought and died, and, once peace was achieved, we rebuilt the destroyed cities, economies and societies of those who only days before were our enemies.

Memorial Day was established by Presidential Decree on May 5, 1868, and first observed later that month on the 30th when all of the graves at Arlington National Cemetery — Union and Confederate — were decorated with flowers and flags. It was only three years after our terrible Civil War that finally established what kind of nation we would be. A war in which 600,000 young Americans perished for the cause they held dearer than their own lives.

For a century, the day continued to mean visiting and decorating graves or townsquare memorials to those who died serving our great nation, and celebrating with parades and civic events. Americans in the past kept the day quiet, pausing to remember, at least for a little while, the kind of men and women who so willingly gave the last full measure. Of the immensity of the sacrifice they made for those who remained safe and protected at home.

A hundred years on, in the 1960s, our Memorial Day remained the same and revolved mostly around the losses of two world wars and Korea. And while the millions of veterans of those terrible wars stood in quiet respect for a quarter of a million and more of their own, their buddies, killed in those wars and now long gone, they welcomed home the 50,000 dead — some their own sons and grandsons — who were fighting and dying in far off Vietnam.

Memorial Day was different then

The reality in the ’60s was that we were surrounded by men, real men, who had gladly worn the country’s cloth in wars against fascism and communism. The earliest memories we had as kids were of comic books and paperbacks that honored the sacrifices of the super heroes of those conflicts. It was a time when the most violent games played by little boys was “Army men” with toy guns, and back then they were not considered at risk to develop into murderous psychopaths. Or it was a time that standing up and removing one’s hat when the national anthem was played, or saying the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer to any God a young child worshipped at the beginning of every school day was not too much trouble or considered offensive to someone else’s sensitivities or seen as trampling on the rights of anyone.

It was a time when names like Guadalcanal, Sicily, Tarawa, Salerno, Iwo Jima, Normandy and the Hurtgen Forest were real to our dads. The terrible battles at the Chosen

Editor’s Note: Today marks the 69th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in World War II. As a reminder of the sacrifices and heroics that day, we’re printing the Memorial Day speech last week of Marine Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of the U.S. Southern Command.

He delivered the speech in San Antonio.

Reservoir and the Yalu River in Korea just as real to their younger brothers, and they all watched in reverence as their own sons battled in a thousand nameless jungle battles and in the skies over Vietnam. It was all so real to us then, Memorial Day was, and we knew without thinking and to our souls that we owed this country and our precious war dead a debt we could never repay.

We live in a very different world today, and as a people have indeed lost something of quality over the years. We don’t always see that same selfless devotion to something bigger than self. Memorial Day today is more about a day off to take advantage of the big sales at the malls or car dealerships, or fighting the traffic to get a long weekend at the sea shore or lake side.

But we should be ashamed of ourselves if we forget that, as we enjoy the coming long weekend, that we are today again at war, and a new Greatest Generation continues to fight and win against a merciless enemy on our behalf in Afghanistan and in other locations around the globe.

‘Salt-of-the-earth’ warriors

Like it or not, America is engaged in a war today against an enemy that is savage, offers no quarter, whose only objectives are to either kill every one of us here in our homeland, or enslave us with a sick form of extremism that serves no God or purpose that decent and rational men and women could ever understand. Given the opportunity to do another 9/11, our vicious enemy would do it today, tomorrow and every day thereafter.

The best way to fight them is somewhere else, and for whatever reason they want to destroy our way of life, we should all thank God we still have just enough young people in America today willing to take up the fight as our bravest and most committed have done from the earliest days of our nation.

And I would be remiss if I failed to mention another kind of hero — our law enforcement professionals of every kind, particularly the uniformed police, FBI, CIA and first responders of every sort who protect the nation and its citizens in this fight against those who would do us harm.

If you know a member of your Armed Forces, and most Americans tragically do not, then you know what I am talking about. They have a look in their eye and a way of walking that marks them as warriors as good as any that have ever marched to the guns, but they are not born killers.

They are, on the contrary, good and decent youngsters, mostly from the neighborhoods of our cities and small towns across America. Almost all are from “salt-of-theearth” working-class homes, and more often than not, are the sons and daughters of cops and firemen, factory and service workers, farmers and the like. Kids who once delivered your papers, stocked shelves in the grocery store, played Little League baseball and pickup hockey in the local rink and served Mass on Sunday morning.

They are ordinary young people performing remarkable acts of bravery and selfless acts of devotion to a cause bigger than themselves. They could have all stayed in school, but chose to serve, knowing full well a brutal war was in their future.

They did not avoid the most basic and cherished responsibility of a citizen — to defend the nation and its people. On the contrary, they welcomed it.

They are the best our country produces and have consciously put every American above their own self interest. They are all heroes, and know and understand fear in a way that thankfully few Americans do.

Like veterans throughout our history, they are right now enduring things in our defense that will haunt them for the rest of their lives, but they are comforted that the vast majority of their countrymen and women they have sworn to protect will never have to deal with memories so terrible.

Those in America’s armed forces today know the price of being the finest men and women this nation has to offer, and pay it they do every day.

Five thousand two hundred and twentytwo from all services have been killed in action since 9/11. Nearly 52,000 wounded — many terribly. Some will try to make them out to be victims, but they are not victims.

They knew what they were about and were doing what they wanted to do.

We who are serving, and have served, demand not to be categorized as victims.

Those with less of a sense of service to the nation never understand it when strong and committed men and women stand tall and firm against evil, just as they can’t begin to understand the price paid so they and their families can sleep safe and free at night. The protected never do.

What the experts and commentators are missing, what they will also never understand, is the sense of commitment, joy and honor of serving the nation in its uniform.

Every veteran and the loving families who supported them, and feared for them every day, however, do understand.

Gold Star families

Memorial Day is not as much for the Gold Star families, but more for the nation and its citizens to remember. The families of the fallen need no reminder … they remember every day … all day. It never goes away. They remember every second of every day in the lives of their loved one until the instant they were informed of their deaths, and then run those memories through their minds and their hearts every second of every day thereafter.

The story of a Gold Star family starts in nearly the exact same way and most often with a knock on the door, in the earlymorning hours by a casualty officer who’d been sitting outside the house waiting anxiously for hours for the first lights to come on. He dreaded the mission he had been assigned that day. He was not glad to be there, but he was privileged to be there as the duty is a sacred one. It is an honor to be called to do it.

The minute the door opened and a family member sees him framed in the doorway he knew … he knew without being told … before he uttered his first words … he knew.

After that it varies a bit. Some collapse in grief and cover their faces screaming and striking out in panic and disbelief as images of a happy little boy or girl race through their minds. Others slam the door trying to somehow turn back the clock and make it go away. Most, however, simply invite the casualty officer in, offer a cup of coffee and sit quietly as the story of the death of someone so loved is related in words that don’t seem to make any sense … are nearly impossible to comprehend.

Every casualty call is a little different, but in the end the result is the same: A family is brought to its knees in a grief that is unexpectedly physical in its impact on the body, unbearable to the mind and agonizing to the heart … a grief that never goes away.

Not even with the passage of time.

Then begins the waiting, and the heartache seems to turn minutes to hours, and

hours to days. The family waits because there is little left to do as the military with precision, and reverence, brings the remains of their cherished loved one home to the country they served … to rest in the good earth of the America they loved.

They are now part of a legend that God willing will never end — our America.

In past wars since the birth of our Republic, the burden of stopping such evil fell on the shoulders of an entire generation. Today the task is taken up by only 1% of America. They are men and women of character who believed in this country enough to put life and limb on the line without qualification, and without thought of personal gain.

Aside from everything else their families have endured over the loss of their loved one, they can be proud of the decision to serve … of the commitment to defend their nation when they did not have to. Proud of their loved one who stepped forward when the vast majority never even consider it. Proud that by this one very personal decision — to serve a cause higher than themselves regardless of the outcome to them personally — their fallen loved one gave answer to two questions that have over the centuries defined the dedication of free and righteous men and women in the fight against wickedness: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”

Commitment, selfless devotion

If we did not have citizens willing to not only ask, but also to act on these questions, we would have lost in our struggle for independence in 1776.

Slavery might never have been eradicated from our shores, and the rights of all Americans under the law might still be just a dream. The Nazis would have triumphed. The death camps never liberated and eliminated. Untold millions never saved from the gas chambers and furnaces. The cancer of communism responsible for the deaths of 100 million would never have been thrown onto the dust bin of history. And today the high tide of Islamic intolerance and extremism — an empire of hate that Osama bin Laden himself proclaimed would last forever — was counted in only days after 9/11 once our country woke up and took the fight to them on their home turf.

That is the kind of men and women we remember on this Memorial Day … on every Memorial Day. The comforting news to our countrymen who have decided to sit it out and watch in amazement from the sidelines at what these young heroes do every day for them in this war against our land and our values is that they are as good as any who came before them in our history.

As good as what their fathers and uncles were in Vietnam, and their grandfathers were in Korea and World War II. I have been privileged to walk among some of these heroes in combat. I have seen them literally turn the intangibles of commitment, bravery and selfless devotion into real and meaningful action.

In my three tours in this war as an infantry officer and commander, I never saw one hesitate or do anything other than lean into the fire and with no apparent fear of death or injury take the fight to our merciless enemies. Like the million who fell before them in America’s past wars, the fallen we have come here to memorialize today unhesitatingly climbed into trucks or helicopters, or

They also learned early as anyone who has truly experienced combat does, that fear is always with you. They also knew how random combat is, and how you have little control over whether you live or die.

They also knew what can happen to you — or just as importantly to your best friend or one of your men — in an instant. They’d seen it … it’s frightening … horrible … but still they went out knowing full well it could happen to them.

The fear is at times an all-consuming constant, but that is what courage is, isn’t it, pushing through the terror and completing the mission assigned regardless of how dangerous.

They learn early that fear is an instinct, but courage is a decision and one they make day after day throughout their tours. It is unlikely their loved ones had ever seen that in them when they were growing up, or when their dreamy-eyed spouse said “I do” holding their hands and gazing into their eyes, but I saw it every day. Their families and friends likely did not know them as one of the bravest and most courageous and committed young people our society produces … but I can attest to it.

As terrifying as combat is when it starts, when the explosions and tracers are everywhere and there is no rational reason on this Earth for a man or a woman to do anything but run away in horror or find a hole to hide in and pray to God for it to stop — the fallen we remember here today did not. When no one would call them coward for cowering behind a wall or shivering in panic in a bunker slave to the most basic of all instincts — survival, none of them did.

When the calls for the Corpsman or medic were shouted from the mouths of young kids who know they will soon be with their God — when seconds seem like hours, and it all becomes slow motion and fast forward at the same time — and the only sensible act is stop, get down, save yourself — they never did.

And their families should know and take comfort that when they fell they were not alone. When they went, they were surrounded by the finest men and women on this earth — their buddies — who desperately tried to save their lives.

They held their hands and tried to comfort them, prayed with them, listened to all the little stories about their families and their homes … until they were gone.

In my hundreds of trips to military hospitals around the country since 2003 and the start of the war, I’ve visited with thousands of grievously wounded American kids and their families. No matter how battered they were, no matter how many arms or legs they’d lost, their families thanked God they’d come home to them alive … but they also always very quietly asked me if it was worth it.

I never tried to answer that question — I couldn’t — it wasn’t one of my boys lying in the hospital bed. I could never fathom the inner-most thoughts of a parent who stood watch through the night at the bedside of someone they loved so much, who was so terribly wounded.

Who was I to offer an opinion?

And in my dozens of conversations with families of the fallen at Dover, or at gravesides at Arlington or at gatherings like this, I have been similarly asked if it was worth the life of someone they brought into the world, raised and nurtured so lovingly and so much looked forward to seeing grow and find wonderful husbands and wives and give them grandchildren to spoil.

Again, I had no right to reply, because as hard as I tried to understand what the immensity of their loss might be, and the depth of the sorrow in their heart, I knew it was impossible.

My sense then was it is inconceivable for anyone to understand who has not had his own heart pierced with such sadness. I learned I was right.

Was it worth it?

the foyer of my own home from a casualty officer executing his sacred duty, until the day he was buried two weeks later, I asked myself the same question a million times over. I did not have to wait until I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of him in a picture at the house, or when a thought of an earlier time came to mind, or in a quiet and unguarded moment when his loss washed over me in emotions I still can’t control.

From the moment I had my turn standing in the door looking into the glistening eyes of a casualty officer, and after that when I woke my wonderful wife and crushed her heart with the news, or while picking my wonderful daughter up off the floor where she worked, I desperately tried to convince myself that it was all for something … I worked so hard at believing his life was worth the sacrifice on the altar of America’s freedom.

But it all came to me the day we buried him in the sacred ground that is Arlington, at Section 60, Gravesite No. 9480, sitting next to his beautiful young wife, that it simply does not matter at all what we the living think. The only thing that matters is what he thought. That he had decided it was more important to be where he was that morning in the Sangin River Valley, Afghanistan, to be doing what he was doing with the Marines and Navy Doc he loved so much and led so well in what was at that time the most dangerous place on Earth.

In his mind — and in his heart — he had decided somewhere between the day he was born at 2130, 5 September 1985 and 0719, 9 November 2010, that it was worth it to him to risk everything — even his life — in the service of his country.

So, in spite of the terrible emptiness that is in a corner of my heart and I now know will be there until I see him again, and the corners of the hearts of everyone who ever knew him, we are proud … so very proud. Was it worth his life? It’s not for me to say. He answered the question for me.

It has been my distinct honor to have had the opportunity to be with you here this weekend. In spite of our loss, I am confident that our America, this experiment in democracy started just over two centuries ago, will forever remain the “land of the free and home of the brave” so long as we never run out of tough, young Americans like ours who are willing to look beyond their own self interest and comfortable lives and go into the darkest and most dangerous places on Earth to hunt down, and kill, those who would do us harm.

God Bless America, ladies and gentlemen, may all of our revered war dead rest; may we who loved them find peace and understanding in their sacrifice; and that the America that they so loved and protected, and gave their lives for, is forever worthy of their sacrifice. Of this I pray.

Semper.

They were not alone, and when the spirit left them and God in his infinite wisdom took them to his bosom, their military family lovingly sent them home.

In this their last journey, they were never alone. At every stop along the way they were treated with the greatest reverence and deepest respect due a fallen hero until members of the service they proudly joined brought them to you.

BLOWN COVER

3 p.m. — 2400 block of Novus Street.

Burglary of a Structure. At the request of the homeowner, a neighbor went to clean up the owner’s nearby vacant home. While at the house, the neighbor discovered that someone had broken a window to the home. Also, the inside door at the rear of the house had been removed from the hinges and the doorknobs removed. Empty soda cans had been left in the recyclable bin, and a small amount of herbal incense was left inside the home.

6:07 p.m. — 500 block of N. Beneva Road. Petit Theft. A store’s lossprevention officer observed a man take two shirts into the fitting room then exit with only one of the shirts. The other shirt appeared to be underneath the shirt the man was wearing. The loss-prevention officer attempted to confront the man, who then proceeded to flee on foot.

As he ran off, the man lifted his shirt to show he was, in fact, wearing the stolen shirt underneath. A store employee then showed police officers the defendant’s Facebook profile, which identified him.

May 29 NO CHARGE 3 a.m. — 1600 block of Sixth Street.

Burglary/Theft. A resident told officers someone broke into his porch area and stole his laptop. The resident had gone to bed at 10 p.m. and left his laptop charging on the counter in his porch area. When the resident woke up at 3 a.m. and went out to the porch, he saw the laptop was gone, but the charger cable was left. It appeared someone had pushed in the screen on the patio to get inside the porch.

Exciting things are happening at...

Gulf GatE

For about as long as he can remember, Boy Scouts has been a large part of Jacob Amontree’s life. He first joined the organization nearly 10 years ago, when he was in second grade. At first, he saw the organization as an opportunity to camp, earn badges and have fun with his friends. But, as he got older, his outlook matured.

“Scouts is a lot of fun, and it helps you develop a lot of skills and friendships,” he says. “But, I also wanted to become more of a leader and an upstanding citizen. I wanted to have an impact on my community, and Scouts became a good way to do that.”

Now, as a junior at Riverview High School, Amontree is working toward the final step of his nine-year Boy Scout career — earning the rank of Eagle Scout.

To earn the prestigious ranking, Scouts must plan and organize a community service project, and Amontree decided to approach his church leaders about opportunities.

“I’ve gone to Siesta Key Chapel since I was young,” he says. “I asked if they had any projects I could help with, and it turned out that the landscaping around their front sign was at the top of the list.”

After several months of planning and approval from Boy Scout leaders, Amontree assembled a group of five other Boy Scouts and led them in revamping the church’s landscaping. They replaced the existing mulch; cleaned up the retaining wall around the sign; and added new shrubs and trees, which will continue to grow and fill in the garden bed.

Throughout the project, Amontree says he gained valuable life lessons and leadership skills, which he hopes to carry with him into adulthood. Aside from general landscaping skills and knowledge of Florida plants, he learned how to lead a group and maintain morale throughout a project.

“It feels great to have this accomplished,” he says. “We gave the old landscaping a beautiful and natural look. I’m really proud of it — it’s been one of the most satisfying achievements in my life so far.”

After finishing the service project, Amontree is one merit badge and a final board of review away from officially becoming an Eagle Scout. He hopes to have the process completed by fall, before he begins his final year of high school.

“It’s something I’ve been working toward for almost 10 years, and I’ll be proud of it for the rest of my life,” he says.

SSAS and neighbors revamp park benches Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association and Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences join forces to enliven the benches in Gillespie Park.

The sky is clear and the smell of paint and fresh-cut grass captivates the senses, as five students from Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences are hard at work painting benches May 23, at Gillespie Park.

In October, Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association members and SSAS staff chose the designs of four seventh-graders and one eighth-grader to be painted on the Gillespie Park benches.

The idea for the project came about in March 2012.

“We initially made contact with the city Parks and Recreation Department to ascertain what the level of its ability is to repair and prepare the benches for such a project,” says Charles Morris, secretary of the Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association.”

The department was unable to provide the resources to refurbish the benches, so the neighborhood association came up with its own idea to do it itself and collaborate with a school to paint the benches. “(The project) is a way to show communities that neighborhoods don’t always have to go to the trough to ask for things. We will do the work,” says Linda Holland, president of the Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association.

After the city approved the project in September, the association contemplated which

school to approach, but picked

SSAS because of its proximity to the park.

“We want students to take pride and some sense of ownership in the community, and their school is here,” says Holland.

SSAS agreed, and SSAS Visual Arts Director David Carr assigned students to come up with designs they thought would look good on the park benches, and the assignment became a contest for the

best designs.

“It’s an integral part of the education process,” said Carr. “The students are in the real world interacting with the association and are taking something they can produce that is permanent and going to be here for a long time.”

In September, seventh- and eighth-graders began their artistic journey with a field trip to the park. There, they gathered inspiration for designs and sketched ideas.

“Going to the park was pretty cool,” said seventh-grader Kyle Guay.

Once all students had submitted their designs, association members and SSAS staff chose five winning designs out of more than 30 designs that had already been pared down from 160 student entries.

First place went to Bridget Fitzgerald; second place went to Danika Schnell; third place went to Carie Ziebell; and honorable mentions went to Kyle Guay and Brittny Friedman. All of the winners received gift cards to Michaels for art supplies.

“It feels good, just because we were chosen out of so many people,” said Brittny.

After the designs were chosen, association member Dan Thomas hauled the rundown benches from the park to his garage to

Her notebooks are covered with doodles, and she keeps sticky pads around to doodle Manga — a Japanese-style cartoon. refurbish them for painting. At the same time, the neighborhood association solicited the community and businesses for donations and supplies.

The last time Gillespie Park saw any major improvements was in the mid-’90s — the benches had seen some wear and tear.

Today, students have decoratively painted seven of the benches; the remaining six benches will be refurbished and

reinstalled.

The Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association says the colorful benches enliven the park, and it hopes to continue its partnership with SSAS. “We want to encourage schools to integrate with the neighborhood,” said Holland.

“This is just the start of a long relationship with the school, and we can really expand community activities.”

Hurricane Agnes, June, 1972

1989

JUNE 1. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport authority members agreed to hire a new executive director. Their selection was Richard Vacar, formerly with the Burbank-GlendalePasadena Airport, in California. Forty-two-year-old Vacar left his $65,000 a year California job with Lockhead Airport Terminal for the Sarasota job, which offered $75,000 a year; a $350-permonth car allowance; and about $14,000 for moving expenses. Vacar started his position amid controversy, because Al McDill, who’d formerly held the position, had been ousted.

1977

JUNE 2. Thomas A. Reedy, a distinguished journalist with 37 years of experience as a White House reporter, columnist and war correspondent, retired to Siesta Key. He made a considerable contribution to the Associated Press. “You see, AP was everywhere history was made,” Reedy said in the 1977 interview. During his career, he reported on the hanging at Nuremberg.

He described the six hours he spent waiting to see if the executions were carried out as the worst six hours of his life. A few of Reedy’s other career milestones included the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the six-day war in 1967, in Israel; and Harry Truman’s announcement of the surrender of Japan. “All he said was, ‘Japan has surrendered. Now get the hell out of here.’” According to Reedy, it was the shortest press conference in history.

MASTERFUL

SHARK

Jen Blanco

Sarasota resident Rachel Bowman, former college swimmer and Masters water polo player, joined the Sarasota YMCA Sharks Masters Swim Team in 2007.

Sarasota resident and volunteer coordinator Rachel Bowman has been tasked with making sure 500 volunteers are in place while also attempting to swim four events during the 2013 Pan-American Masters Championship.

SARASOTA — It’s been embedded in her mind for as long as she can remember.

It’s a source of comfort and a source of pure exhaustion. It’s a single black line that stretches the entire length of the pool — the lone visual element Sarasota resident Rachel Bowman encounters from the moment she dives into the crystal-blue water until she resurfaces several yards down the lane line.

There was a time when the thick black line’s monotonous repetition wore down Bowman. But, now, several years later, it’s a sign of a sport she’s harbored a passion for since she was a little girl.

A native of St. Croix, Bowman grew up swimming in the open waters of the Caribbean Sea. “There were very few outlets for kids (in St. Croix),” Bowman says. “I love swimming in open water. It was like an extended snorkeling trip.”

Bowman swam competitively in high school and college before taking a break from the sport to join the Peace Corps.

While living in Latin America, Bowman would occasionally venture out into the open water and go for a swim, but it was a far cry from her days as a Division III athlete.

Bowman returned to the pool after moving back to the U.S., but it didn’t take long for the black line to wear her down. She ended up joining a Masters co-ed water polo team, where she eventually met her husband, Roger.

The two played up and down the Eastern seaboard before moving to California where they continued to play the sport.

“Water polo is a brutal sport, but it

was a lot of fun,” Bowman says.

It wasn’t until Bowman moved to Florida that she started swimming laps again. She encouraged her husband to get into the pool and join the Sarasota YMCA Sharks Masters Swim Team. Bowman saw how much fun her husband was having, and, in 2007, she decided to join the team, too.

Now, the Sarasota YMCA Sharks Masters swimmer is preparing to hit the pool once again — this time as both a competitor and a volunteer.

Bowman is the volunteer coordinator for the Pan-American Masters Championships, which run through June 13, at the Selby Aquatic Center, in Sarasota. It’s the first time Bowman has participated in the Pan-American Masters Championships.

As the volunteer coordinator, Bowman is responsible for putting together all of the different groups of volunteers that are needed to make the event work.

This week, 500 volunteers and roughly 1,750 competitors from 22 countries will converge in Sarasota for the event. It’s the first time the event is being held in the U.S. “It’s a big deal for Sarasota to be internationally recognized,” Bowman says. “The more huge sporting events we have the more important it will be for groups in the community to support those events. That, in turn, will facilitate more events coming to town.”

The Pan-American Masters Championships began with the synchronized swimming events June 1 through June 3. The swimming events began June 5 and will extend through June 12. The championships will conclude with the open-water portion

June 13, at Siesta Key Beach.

Sarasota won the bid two years ago, and, since then, the Sarasota YMCA and the Sharks have been gearing up for the event, including rebuilding locker rooms and adding additional blocks and bleachers.

“It’s a great group of people,” Bowman says of the Sharks. “We’ve got people from so many different walks of life … It’s a really nice group of people of all ages. There are no barriers.”

Today, Bowman swims at least five days a week and tries to do some type of physical activity the remaining two days. She also serves as the volunteer coordinator for the Sarasota Sharks swim team.

Bowman first began volunteering when her two boys, Graham and Shaw, were on the team. But after they both decided to stop swimming and join the Sarasota Crew, Bowman wasn’t quite sure of her next step.

“I felt like a fish out of water when they stopped swimming,” Bowman says. “I was like, ‘Oh, no, now what am I going to do?’”

She ultimately decided to continue volunteering on a part-time basis; she helps out with a lot of the larger swim meets, including the Florida Age Group Swimming Championships.

In addition to volunteering her time, Bowman also signed up for four Pan-Am events, but, depending on timing and other issues that arise, Bowman may have to settle for simply swimming a few warm-up laps.

“If I swim two (events) then that’s a win,” Bowman says. “I like competing, but it’s not the crème de la crème for me. If I don’t get to swim, I’ll still be here.”

We care for Florida’s unique natural communities.

That’s our promise.

Above: David Mahler Right: Ellie and Hayley chat before entering Siesta Key Chapel.

At Mosaic, our 3,000-plus Florida employees are devoted to preserving the integrity of our environment while producing essential phosphate crop nutrients. We understand the importance of the unique natural systems that make up our larger watersheds. Our reclaimed bay swamps carefully emulate natural bay swamps; they are characterized by dense, low vegetation, dominated by mixtures of sweet bay, red bay and loblolly bay, and scattered with dahoon holly, red maple and pine trees. With the proper hydrologic modeling and care, reclaimed bay swamps rival the function of their natural counterparts and provide essential wildlife habitat for future generations.

year and helped found a nonprofit called Up the People.

“Because of the global struggle, I felt I needed to know more about it, and I began working with (Up the People). I spent a year in Europe and a couple of years in Asia,” Wilberding says.

Wilberding’s father signed him up for the draft, and, in 1965, he was drafted into the Army. During his five years of service, he served as a captain in the infantry, an Army Ranger and an Army Pathfinder for the 101st Airborne Division in South Vietnam. He earned 13 awards and decorations, including several for valor.

fencing fanatics Two Sarasota students earned medals Saturday, May 18, in Dunedin, for their performance in the divisional fencing competition. The Dunedin Fencing Club hosted the daylong match that featured saber, epee and foil events. Sarasota Military Academy senior Marshall Evans earned a third-place medal in the foil event, and Pine View sophomore Nathan Schlesinger placed third in the epee event. John Luper, an SMA alumnus, placed first in the epee event and third in the saber event.

the U.S. Department of State’s Critical Language Scholarship Program.

The New College of Florida junior began studying Chinese during his sophomore year of college. He taught English during the summer of 2012 in China and returned in January 2013 for an independent study program.

“I wanted a language that would be more global, challenging and that would lead to more job opportunities,” said Klinkel.

Klinkel fell in love with languages in high school. He began studying Spanish in 10th grade and French in 11th grade. By his senior year, he was able to speak both languages fluently because he had checked out advanced textbooks and studied them on his own.
