+ Welcome home, Nik Don’t forget to make your signs and banners for the “King of the High Wire” and bring them to the Nik Wallenda Welcome Home Parade Friday night. The Wallenda parade will start at 7 p.m. and precede the Festival Parade of Boats down Main Street. The parade begins at U.S. 301 and will make its way to Gulfstream Avenue.

+ Diamond in the rough Michael’s On East co-proprietors Michael Klauber and Phil Mancini were presented with the restaurant’s 24th Four Diamond designation from AAA. Michael’s On East was the only restaurant in Sarasota to receive the rating this year.

“It’s the highest level of fine dining that would qualify,” Klauber says.

AAA gives the Four Diamond designation to establishments that offer fine dining, an executive chef and accomplished staff that demonstrate a desire to meet or exceed guest expectations, including a knowledgeable wine steward, as well as having complex and creative menus; imaginative presentations; and high-quality fresh ingredients.

“We focus on today’s innovation in every aspect of the operation,” Klauber says.

“Service, technology, food, wine, innovative cocktails — all those things.”

By most measures, Lucy Nicandri is in for a long day.

Her morning began at an unmentionable hour — she had to arrive at Heritage Oaks Golf and Country Club by 6 a.m. She’s there to help organize a golf event that’s part of the 29th annual Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix Festival.

As festival director, Nicandri’s job description is necessarily vague to cover her multitude of responsibilities.

In one moment, she’s directing where a display boat should be placed. In another, she’s training the volunteers one last time before people arrive. Next, she’s tinkering with the signs advertising raffle tickets so they’re precisely centered. She’s in a state of constant motion.

Look down for 30 seconds, and you’ll lose her.

As golfers begin to trickle in, she serves as a de facto greeter — not the perfunctory “Thanks for coming,” handshake, move on sort; she’s doling out hugs at an astonishing rate. Even then, she refuses to be tethered to one spot (let alone a chair), darting off every few minutes to ensure every detail is nailed down before tee time. She never shows signs of slowing down.

Occasionally, you get the hint that this isn’t an unusual day for

Racing team takes to the bay again In the high-speed world of offshore boat racing, the father-son team Scott Free Racing proves trust is key.

Entering the first turn of a race last year, offshore-boat throttleman and Sarasota resident Steve Kildahl was concerned his son and driver, Stephen, might be a bit gun shy. This was the first time the father-son team had competed together since experiencing their only serious crash on the water. In the previous race, an unexpected wave launched their boat 30 feet into the air, which resulted in a violent crash — the only one

in Steve Kildahl’s 29 years of racing.

“In offshore racing, your track changes every lap,” says Steve Kildahl. “What was a flat area on your previous lap might be rough water the next time around.

We did a lot of damage to the boat, but, thankfully, it was canopied, and nobody was hurt.”

But, as the men approached the turn,

GRAND PRIX / FROM PAGE 1A It ignores all the work that goes into planning the festival — which culminates in 14-hour days and seven-day workweeks in the six weeks leading up to the festival.

“Event planning, it’s a gift,” she says.

“Either you’re good at it or you’re not. I’m high energy and fast-paced. You have to be.”

Nicandri first got involved with the festival in 1986, its second year. She came to Sarasota, alone, the day after she graduated from college and began working at a bank. Eventually, she transferred to a marketing position; her boss suggested she look into volunteering during the Grand Prix. Something clicked.

“I love special events, and I love big special events and seeing everything come together,” she says.

Since she’s taken over as festival director, she’s been responsible for making what was already a big event even bigger.

“Even if you’re not into boat racing, I’m trying to inject different events so we can reach different demographics and different areas of the community — and we can

RACING / FROM PAGE 1A Stephen Kildahl fell back on the trust he and his father had built throughout their six years of racing together.

“I just said, ‘Let’s get through this first turn, and everything will be fine,’” he says.

In a sport with such high potential for danger, the Kildahls say trust is everything. The two-man team shares the duties of operating the boat’s throttle and steering systems. As the driver, Stephen Kildahl’s job is to steer the boat and keep count of the laps.

“I put nine pieces of tape in the cockpit and tear one off after each lap,” he says.

As throttleman, Steve Kildahl controls the boat’s throttle, which he must disengage each time the boat bounces out of the water to avoid damaging the motor.

make it a real festival,” she says.

The impact of that work goes beyond attracting more people to more events. The Grand Prix benefits Suncoast Charities for Children, which works to help children with special needs in Sarasota, Venice and North Port. Proceeds support agencies that occupy the buildings the charity has constructed; more than $14 million has been used to build facilities, thanks to the festival.

Suncoast Charities Board President Jack Cox said Nicandri, who serves as vice president of marketing and special events for the charity, has helped transform the scope of the Grand Prix. Turning a long weekend focused almost exclusively around the race itself into a nine-day series of more diverse events has allowed the festival — and the charity — to appeal to people and companies that didn’t necessarily have an interest in boat racing.

“She’s taken this really from a race to a weeklong festival,” Cox says. “It’s really broadened our base.”

That broadening has taken work. Nicandri’s duties include securing sponsors; running marketing and public relations;

Both men constantly monitor the boat’s mirrors and communicate about what they see. Traveling at speeds averaging nearly 90 mph in cockpits with essentially no peripheral vision, they rely on each other to have a clear view of their surroundings.

“In racing, you really have to trust the guy next to you,” says Stephen Kildahl.

“I trust my dad more than anyone in the world, so it’s a real confidence booster to have him in the boat next to me. It allows me to focus purely on racing.”

His father agrees.

“A team has to be able to gel,” Steve Kildahl says. “Some teams go their entire careers without having that.”

Steve Kildahl, 56, began racing 29 years ago. As the owner of Sarasota-based Central Marine, he was raised in the business and followed the race circuits, which he

recruiting event chairs; proofing printed materials; overseeing financial transactions; and managing the more than 300 volunteers who staff the individual events — among other things. During events, she is all things to all people — whatever it takes to guarantee it all goes off without any problems.

“I want to be available for last-minute things that may come up, making sure things remain smooth and calm,” she says.

She calls the work “organized chaos,” with certain elements remaining up in the air until the last minute. This year, for example, the Festival Parade of Boats was modified less than two weeks before the event was set to take place to also serve as a homecoming celebration for Nik Wallenda.

“I live by a saying: It’s not textbook, and you’ve got to be flexible,” she says.

Hearing her describe her busiest day — up at 4 a.m.; attending or remotely managing four overlapping events; handling miscellaneous phone calls and emails; wrapping up around 12:30 a.m. — it’s easy to wonder what keeps her going.

Burnout is a problem in this field, she

says, and she’s had to increase her focus on maintaining balance in the last few years. She has outlets to ease her mind; in addition to having a supportive network of friends and a supportive boyfriend, she enjoys riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle and walking along the beach.

The main thing that keeps her committed, though, is the charity itself.

“First and foremost, it’s knowing the agencies that are in the buildings we’ve built and seeing special-needs children, teens and adults getting services,” she says.

When the Grand Prix is over, Nicandri’s work will continue. She says it takes about eight weeks to tie up all the loose ends after the festival, at which point preliminary work for next year begins — and she’ll already have a list of what worked this year and what needs to be fixed. It’s a seemingly ceaseless cycle that demands a tireless director.

Luckily for Nicandri, it comes naturally.

monumental decision

3A

by David Conway | News Editor

After debate, Iwo Jima project nixed Tom Savage withdrew his application to donate an Iwo Jima memorial to Sarasota because of commission opposition, but commissioners say they were putting in due diligence.

On Monday night, city commissioners expressed concern about fast-tracking the installation of an Iwo Jima monument along the bayfront. As a result, the donation application for the statue was withdrawn.

During Monday’s meeting, Commissioner Susan Chapman expressed concern about a special meeting of the Public Art Committee to consider a donation application for the statue and a plaza, at which it would be displayed alongside Unconditional Surrender. Chapman said she believed the meeting, scheduled for July 3, would not receive enough public input due to its proximity to the Fourth of July holiday.

IN MEMORIAM

Chapman moved to slow the approval process and send the proposed installation to more committees — Parks and Recreation, Planning Commission and Public Art again — and the motion was passed 3-2, with Commissioner Paul Caragiulo and Mayor Shannon Snyder offering the two dissenting votes.

Tom Savage, founder of the Sarasota Public Art Fund, said he pulled his donation application due to a belief that he did not have enough support from the commission for his vision. That vision included the completion of the proj-

ect by Nov. 10, the 238th birthday of the Marines, which necessitated the special meeting of the art committee this week.

He said sending the bill to the committees signaled the ultimate intention of the commissioners to deny his application.

“We already know the position of the committees,” Savage said. “It’s an exercise in futility.”

Perhaps the pivotal vote was that of Vice Mayor Willie Shaw, who Savage said had originally expressed support for the project. Asked about Savage’s decision to pull the application, Shaw said he was sad to see the donation withdrawn. He rebuked the idea that his vote was a signal that he opposed the installation of the statue. He said information presented at the commission meeting caused him to vote for a more protracted procedure.

“I would like to see it come out of committee or out of the process before I made any decision,” Shaw said. “There could be information brought forth that we didn’t know before.”

Four people offered public comment at the meeting, all of whom expressed unease about the donation. Concerns were raised about the appropriateness of the location; the failure of the statue to receive a minimum bid at auction; the quality of the concrete statue; and the permanence of the display.

Shaw cited the existence of a similar concrete statue in Cape Coral,

which was said to have needed significant restoration, as new information presented at the meeting that affected his vote.

The vote tally upset Snyder, who voted against the motion. Snyder called it a “sophisticated attack” on Savage rather than a vote on the issue itself. He said there were valid questions about the statue, but that they should have been addressed at the art committee meeting July 3. Snyder also said debate about where the monument should be placed should have given precedence to from where the money was coming.

“Why didn’t anyone else write the check and contact the Veterans Administration and try to place it somewhere?” Snyder asked. “The people who raised the money wanted it at the bay, wanted it as an educational thing for young people in the community, and I guess that wasn’t the will of the majority of the commission.”

Chapman said Savage’s withdrawal was a signal that he knew public support wasn’t behind him. She said the intent of her motion was only to get a better response from the community on this issue and that the committee’s responses would be valuable public comment.

“Citizens are on the committees,” Chapman said. “I thought it was a way to get adequate public input on the project.”

Commissioner Suzanne Atwell, who also voted for a slower procedure, said it seemed the process had been hijacked to meet the November deadline Savage had set. Although she acknowledged the significance of the date, she said it was more important to thoroughly vet the project.

“We need to take our time on major projects like this,” Atwell said. “We are in charge of land use — this is a decision we have to make about what our legacy is, what goes on one of our most prized pieces of land.”

ning Commission. He was a founding member of the County Charter Commission, and he helped found the Rotary Club of Sarasota Bay, the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce and the Argus Foundation, which in 2010 honored him with a lifetime achievement award.

Buddy Alday, who served on the Sarasota County Fair Board with Bispham, re-

members his ability to get the job done.

“Cy didn’t say a whole lot,” says Alday.

“But when he did, you’d better listen. If he told you something, you could count on it, and he always helped get things on their way.”

Former Sen. Bob Johnson, who worked with Bispham on the County Charter Commission, says Bispham’s contributions to Sarasota are significant.

“He helped shape what Sarasota was to become as a county,” says Johnson. “He was complex; he could be down to earth and a good ol’ boy, but he was also very smart. He’s not someone you could just reproduce with a mold.”

In addition to his work ethic and legacy in the community, friends and colleagues also admired Bispham’s sense of humor.

“Cy was always quick with a joke or a one-liner,” says Tom Dabney, longtime friend and president of Gulf Coast Property Services Inc. “He was humorous in a very country kind of way. He was a dairy farmer — and proud of it. He always told you exactly what was on his mind.”

Bispham’s son, Jack, describes his father as an avid outdoorsman and says that he continued to hunt and shoot sporting clays well into his 80s. He and his father enjoyed taking bird-hunting trips as far away as Nicaragua or the Bahamas.

“He was the kind of man who didn’t believe in Saturday afternoons off,” says Jack Bispham. “He was never idle, and he always had to have a project or be doing something productive. He was a man full of life, and I hope that’s how he’s remembered.”

Cy didn’t say a whole lot. But when he did, you’d better listen. If he told you something, you could count on it, and he always helped get things on their way.

Construction is under way at the former site of eight tennis courts at Sarasota High School, despite efforts by residents to prevent the demolition. A charrette was held last June to organize renovation plans for Sarasota High’s campus. The option selected at that meeting stated the land the tennis courts previously occupied would become a bus drop-off loop and stormwater drainage area, but many residents objected to that provision when they became aware of it.

In April, residents near the school who used the courts signed an online petition in an effort to stop the proposed demolition; 842 people have signed it to date. The petition was presented to the Sarasota County School Board in May, but the board voted unanimously at its June 4 meeting to move up the construction of the bus loop in place of the courts, so it would be completed before the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.

The Sarasota Police Department investigated a capsized boat discovered near the 10th Street boat ramp after 12:30 p.m.

Sunday, June 30, according to a press release.

None of the four unidentified adults on board the 15-foot vessel was injured.

Fellow boaters rescued the occupants and helped tow the capsized vehicle to shore.

offers to continue her employment out of her home-based Wimauma facility, opting, instead, to tell the media she was fired.

Para, a Fox supporter who organized a rally Saturday in support of Fox that drew at least 50 people, alleged that conditions violated the organization’s $10-a-year lease of the city-owned land. Fox did not attend the meeting or the rally.

At Monday night’s meeting, commissioners heard a glowing report from city staffers.

“The leasehold was in the best condition we had ever seen it,” Purchasing Manager Mary Tucker reported to the City Commission Monday night.

Additionally, SOS CEO David Pilston described the organization’s accomplishments during the past year, which included becoming more responsive to bird calls and creating an online database of birds treated that wasn’t in place before but is required by wildlife permits and extensive renovations to the facility.

But, former SOS employee Cally Lajeunesse said she resigned from the organization because she couldn’t stand seeing what she described as “the mistreatment of birds.”

She told the commission of black mold covering the ceiling and alleged that rats

Here’s what Sarasota city staff didn’t find at Save Our Seabirds during an unannounced inspection June 20: rats or black mold.

The facility was clean, filled with visitors and free of rats and dead birds.

The rats, along with black mold, were there, insisted former volunteers and a former employee during Monday’s Sarasota City Commission meeting. Commissioners were concerned enough about the allegations that they asked staff to investigate further.

The commission ordered the initial investigation after former SOS volunteer Greg Para presented a sworn affidavit during a June 19 joint meeting of the Sarasota City Commission and Sarasota County Commission. The affidavit included multiple allegations, including that he had seen rats kill or maim birds on more than one occasion; that the birdcages and pumping systems for the aviary are not adequate and violate the city lease; that the facility does not have permits to care for parrots; and that on five separate occasions he found that parrots hadn’t received fresh food and water in 48 hours due to personnel shortages.

The allegations came a month-and-ahalf after the termination of founder Lee Fox, who the board insists rejected two

At least 50 people attended a rally Saturday organized by former Save Our Seabirds volunteer Greg Para, who said its purpose was to show support for founder Lee Fox. would steal food from birds, making it impossible to know how much the birds had eaten. She said that she has seen rats maim birds and once had to shake her leg to keep a rat from crawling on it.

Para told the commission that the inspection, which occurred at 3:30 p.m., should have taken place early in the morning to check for signs of rats.

Para also said that SOS doesn’t have proper permits because the permits were in Fox’s name.

Pilston said SOS is in the process of getting the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits transferred to the organization. He anticipates having FWC permits by the end of the week. Tucker said that an FWS official told her the agency would recommend approval.

Both organizations told her they had no intention of closing SOS. But, when commissioners questioned the investigation, Tucker admitted staff didn’t ask about violations at the facility.

Commissioners seemed especially concerned when Lajeunesse showed them a

picture of a black mold spot on the facility’s ceiling. Pilston said the picture was taken in a room that’s in disrepair and isn’t currently used.

Pilston also said that the allegations, if true, took place when Fox was in charge of bird care.

Commissioner Paul Caragiulo expressed his concerns toward the end of the discussion.

“We’ve had folks come down and say one thing very convincingly,” he said to Pilston. “I’m not leveling any charges against you … At the end of the day, I’m uncomfortable with what I’ve seen and heard.”

Mayor Shannon Snyder made a motion that passed unanimously, directing staff to investigate issues discussed at the meeting and to gather all reports, including complaints, about the facility from the FWC, FWS and Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office from the last five years.

The principles that guide us We vow, as a nation, we will never forget 9/11. We vow we will never forget the Holocaust. We vow we will never forget our brothers and sisters who in all wars and conflicts gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, for our liberty.

Likewise, we should never forget those

immortal words that explicitly, forcefully and eloquently declared the self-evident truths that have served as our moral foundation and principles for 237 years.

Now, more than ever in two generations, and given the direction we have let our governments pursue — that of increasingly

collectivist Statism — it is appropriate on this day to think about and reaffirm a commitment to the principles those 56 men bravely declared with their lives, their fortunes and their honor on that day July 4, 1776. Read the Declaration of Independence again. Let us never forget.

by Andrew Clayton

I choose liberty; denounce surveillance The NSA’s surveillance of Americans is a breach of the Constitution. How would you like the government tracking who visits your home or how you spend your money. “Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.� — Thomas Jefferson On this extraordinary day in American history, July 4, it is always worth reflecting on the reasons we celebrate Independence Day, particularly in light of the revelations about the federal government’s monitoring of innocent citizens’ phone calls and emails. Clayton Those who support government surveillance cite their belief that such efforts make us all safer. I disagree.

The government’s surveillance of innocent Americans is a breach of its fundamental obligations to safeguard our constitutionally protected rights. And, by its breach of those obligations, the essence of our democracy is imperiled.

As every youngster should know, the fourth day of July commemorates the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. That extraordinary instrument was conceived and drafted by a group of brave rev-

olutionaries who subscribed to the belief that government should exist for the purpose of securing our rights under “natural law.�

The second paragraph of the Declaration contains the most inspirational statement of human rights ever written: “We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.�

Throughout the 20th century and into the present, this country has prided itself on those ideals and has attempted to spread throughout the world the concept of freedom and democracy at great cost to its citizens’ lives and national treasure. In the 20th century alone, more than 670,000 American service members died, and many more shed blood in the interest of preserving freedom and preventing tyranny around the world. But, are

we truly safe from tyranny here at home?

Our country changed after Sept. 11, 2001. In our zeal to prevent a recurrence of such a horrific tragedy, we have wittingly and unwittingly allowed our government under both political parties to become ever more powerful and intrusive in our lives. Hence, most of us grudgingly endure body scans at airports and surrender shampoo bottles that contain more than 3.4 ounces of fluid.

Nonetheless, we have not knowingly and willingly consented to the much more intrusive conduct of government snooping through our email and/or its recording the identity of those with whom we communicate. There is no articulable reason for us to allow it now and thereby abandon our natural right to privacy — our fundamental right to be left alone by our government.

Some of our fellow citizens say that if someone is not doing any-

thing “wrong,� there shouldn’t be anything to worry about if the government wants to maintain records of our communications, or where we go, or even what we write. But that point of view begs the question: What if their definition of what is acceptable behavior today is later defined as “wrong� by a future political class or some nameless, faceless bureaucrat? Would such lawabiding citizens truly feel comfortable with government agents standing at their street corner recording the identity of visitors to their home, or monitoring where they went or who they visited or how they spent their money?

Does it really matter if that kind of surveillance is conducted in person or through some hyperpowered NSA data center?

Do you unqualifiedly trust the government always to do the right thing?

The mere fact that we have sophisticated technology to conduct surveillance — whether

by NSA electronic snooping or

The federal government under Presidents Bush and Obama has attempted to justify snooping on all of us as necessary for our safety. I’m not buying it, and our Constitution forbids it. Given the choice between safety and liberty from the government’s invasion of our privacy, the choice for me is clear. I choose liberty.

drones flying above — does not justify its use against our fellow citizens in the absence of a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.

The Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, requiring a judicially sanctioned warrant that is issued only when there is probable cause that a crime has been committed. Obviously, no probable cause exists to permit the monitoring of every citizen’s emails and phone records.

The British poet and academic C.S. Lewis wrote several decades ago, “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.�

The federal government under Presidents Bush and Obama has attempted to justify snooping on all of us as necessary for our safety. I’m not buying it, and our Constitution forbids it.

Given the choice between safety and liberty from the government’s invasion of our privacy, the choice for me is clear. I choose liberty.

smelly squabble

by David Conway | News Editor

Dumpsters cause a stink for Siesta Key business Although the problem has temporarily been solved, one Siesta Key business manager says she will not be able to get former customers to return.

There was something rotten on the island of Siesta Key, according to Prudie Varro.

In August, Varro noticed the dumpsters on adjacent properties were being left out in the open. The distinct odor of garbage was more than an unpleasant nuisance for Varro, the manager of resort Sunsets on the Key; it was harming her business.

“My guests were writing me, ‘We love the place, we love the staff, we love the resort, the village, the beach, but that smell — we’re not coming back,’” Varro said.

She knew an ordinance required the offending properties — located at The Arches and Key Corners — to conceal trash containers from the street, because in 2006 she had to outfit Sunsets on the Key with such an enclosure.

Varro reached out to various government entities with little success. When she talked to code enforcement, she says she was told the blame rested with waste management.

“I would do that every couple of months, and nothing happened,” she said.

On June 21, almost 11 months after her first complaint, she sent an email to the County Commission, the Siesta Key Association and Visit Sarasota County — whomever she could convince to get something done. Thanks in part to a passionate response from Michael Shay, vice president of the Siesta Key Association, citations were issued to offending properties June 24, and the dumpsters are now off the street.

David Conway

Uncovered dumpsters caused one Siesta business to lose customers.

It’s a victory for Varro, but the protracted battle came with a cost.

“I don’t get old customers back,” she said.

“They’re gone; they’re not coming back.”

Shay understood why Varro was frustrated with the county’s pace, but he was satisfied with how quickly everything came together when it was brought to the highest level.

“We all know that code enforcement is understaffed,” he said. “I think that, as in any business where you are understaffed, things fall between the cracks.”

Varro doesn’t believe this is the end of her issues.

“What I’ve seen in the past is, it gets the attention and the problem is resolved — for now,” she said. “Then, slowly but surely, it starts creeping back in again, and we’re right back to where we started. It’s really hard to keep up the fight.”

Linger Lodge Restaurant & Campground

7205 85th St. Court E., Bradenton The sound of a doorbell ringing alerts restaurant staff when new patrons enter this unique local eatery.

With a scenic view of the Braden River, this site first was home to a fish camp in the 1940s.

East County resident Frank Gamsky opened the Linger Lodge Restaurant and RV Resort in the late 1960s.

The restaurant, now under different ownership, shows off the creative handiwork of Gamsky, a taxidermist. Over the years, the restaurant has earned several national

“shoutouts,” including being named one of the “Top Five Weirdest Restaurants in America” by Al Roker.

Its more unique menu offerings include fried green tomatoes, alligator ribs, gator stew and frog legs. Other menu favorites are fried catfish and the lodge’s awardwinning gumbo.

Patrons still can take a look at the lodge’s famous — and fake — “roadkill menu,” which features delicacies such as “chunk of skunk.”

1984

JULY 5. Before there were Suncoast Offshore Super Boat Grand Prix events to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday week in Sarasota, there were the Land ’n’ Sea Freedom Races on Siesta Key Beach. Sunday, July 1, 1984, more than 17,000 people attended the Second Annual Siesta Key Land ’n’ Sea Freedom races. About 15,000 competitors came out for the event, which included a 5K run; sailboard and skimboard contests; a volleyball tournament; and demonstrations in aerobics, breakdancing and jazzercise.

The event also included a fashion show. Budweiser provided the beer, and Walt’s Fish Market catered the event. All proceeds of the event were given to Big Brothers and the Boys & Girls Club of Sarasota County. It wasn’t fun and games for everyone, though.

Paramedics treated one women for heat exhaustion.

JULY 2. In 2004, for the second consecutive year, and in spite of high levels of bacteria that had been discovered in the water earlier that spring, Siesta Key Beach was listed on the Clean Beaches Council’s annual list of “Blue Wave” beaches. Each “Blue Wave” beach was certified as clean, healthy and environmentally well managed. Siesta Key was one of three beaches in Southwest Florida to receive the designation that year. Venice and Caspersen beaches also made the list.

Erosion must always be considered on barrier islands.

A new bike path in 1979 on Siesta Key was no exception.

At barely a week old, Siesta Key’s new $133,866 bike bath between Turtle Beach and Sanderling Road began showing signs of aging. The first heavy rain washed away the back slope and exposed the drainage pipe, sending dirt cascading onto neighborhood lawns. The county engineering department had cut economic corners and scattered seed instead of sodding. Had the back slope been sodded, as called for in the original plans, the problem would have been avoided, residents believed.

The Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce Proudly Presents the 23rd Annual

athlete of the week

by Jen Blanco | Sports Editor

Kylie Warner

Siesta Key Fourth of July Fireworks

Sarasota High senior point guard Kylie Warner scored 11 points to lead the Navy team to a 79-73 come-frombehind victory over the White team in the FABC Futures Shootout June 17, at Berkeley Preparatory School.

In addition to playing in the FABC Futures Shootout, the 17-yearold has spent the offseason playing with the Sarasota Sting — the Lady Sailors travel-ball team — in preparation for her final season at Sarasota High.

VIP Party Thursday, July 4th at 5PM, prior to the big fireworks display at Siesta Key Public Beach You don’t want to miss this!

Jen Blanco

I was surprised we won. I knew it was even (in terms of) the amount of talented players, but I was surprised when we came back after being down 17-3 at one point in the first half.

I enjoy having a bond with my teammates and being able to work together as a team. It’s not so much one person doing everything; it’s the team concept that I enjoy the most.

It was definitely a learning experience playing with stronger and taller players. It was kind of hard playing with people you didn’t know, but throughout the game we started realizing each other’s strengths. I learned that playing with different people is a lot different than knowing how to play. The chemistry was a lot different.

My fondest basketball moment was with the team two years ago, when we worked our way up to being able to play against Sebastian River in the Class 7A-Region 3 quarterfinals. They were a really wellorganized team. They had players who were going to Georgia Tech, and we were going up against them. For us to get there was a big accomplishment.

About three weeks prior to the game, my coaches told me I had been chosen.

I was actually surprised I got chosen. It was definitely a boost to my confidence in myself, and it was a really good experience.

VIP Package Information:

• Convenient reserved on-site parking • On-site catered picnic dinner for two • Beer, wine and soft drinks • Live musical entertainment

I like the way Dwyane Wade plays. He always looks for the pass before the shot.

That’s the way I play. I always look for the extra pass.

For Tickets or Registration for this event, please contact the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce at 941-349-3800 THANK YOU to our generous sponsors who make the fireworks possible!

INFO

Jay Daniel, Ric Romanoff and Steele Harris, with Connor Flick, her father, Dieter, and Martin Sobel

by Yaryna Klimchak | Community Editor

hirteen-year-old Connor Flick and 14-year-old Steele Harris have made a commitment to learn to fly.

The teens spend their Saturdays in an airplane hangar surrounded by every tool imaginable.

Charts, instructions, wires and bolts lie scattered across various tables as the children study them alongside Experimental Aircraft Association members. The teens and EAA members are building an RV-12 out of an airplane kit.

Connor and Steele are just two of the youth interested in the ins and outs of what it takes, not just to fly a plane, Those interested in getbut to also build ting involved one. can contact “When you are a Martin Sobel pilot, you just fly,” at 539-4806. says Steele. “When you are building it, you see the bare bones of the inside of the plane and you see how everything works together and get a better feel for it.”

The idea for the plane-building project started with the Young Eagles Program. The national program, which started in July 1992, teaches children about aviation and airplane safety. The goal is to introduce youth to flying. It became particularly enticing with the promise of a free flight at the end of the program.

EAA Chapter 180, the Sarasota chapter, takes children through the Young Eagles Program every third Saturday of the month. But, because the members wanted to keep children involved in aviation after they received their Young Eagles certification, they sought a more in-depth

project — building a working airplane with community youth.

So, six of the EAA members formed a corporation, RV-12 Inc., and pitched in to purchase the $60,000 airplane kit from Van’s Aircraft. Next, they recruited students at area schools. The plane building began in January 2012 with 12 interested teens and pre-teens.

Because a few of the EAA members are flight instructors, they agreed to give participants a onehour flight lesson for every 25 hours they spend building the airplane.

This helps the teens and preteens to receive a sport pilot license from the Federal Aviation Administration; they need at least 20 hours of flight time. A bonus of building the plane is that future pilots have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a plane they will eventually be able to fly.

Due to the summer months, hectic schedules and loss of patience for such a long project, many of the 12 students have left the program.

Steele and Connor have stuck it out.

After dedicating more than 100 hours to building the plane, Steele and Connor say they have learned many lessons, including commitment.

“It takes passion to wake up at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning when you can do anything else,” Steele says.

The EAA member mentors continue to be a motivating factor for him.

“They are here for you if you need help,” he says. “They are going to show you how to do it the right way, and they won’t tell you to go do something else because you don’t know how.”

Members expect to have the RV-12 in the air by December.

“I think it’s an excellent thing for any child to broaden their horizon.

This is a precise way to learn new skills and it is a wide, diverse facet,” says Dieter Flick, Connor’s father and EAA Chapter 180 member.

STATS RV-12 FACTS Category: Light sport aircraft; two-seat, all-metal, side-byside airplane Fastest cruising speed: 120 knots, or 138 miles per hour Fuel capacity: 20 gallons; it can fly for about 4.5 hours without refueling Weight: 740 pounds; gross weight 1,320 pounds

...close to downtown Sarasota yet a world away. One of the great estates on Bay Shore Road, a neighborhood of exceptional residences spanning the architecture of the Ringling era to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemporary style. This sophisticated bay front property of 2.5 acres with 240 ft on Sarasota Bay offers a resort lifestyle in the middle of the city including an oversized pool, professional tennis court, and kayaking on the bay. Built in 1987 as a palatial palace, the home was completely redesigned in 1993 by the architect who built the Bill Gates estate in Seattle. Recently updated again, the home boasts a quality of design and construction superior to many other residences of similar size.

The 11,000+/- square-foot residence with guesthouse and pool house encompasses Moorish architectural style with contemporary elements.

The grounds are a tropical oasis with exotic tree species hiding the mansion from street view.
