“Some people are taking advantage.”

Although Waterlefe is gated, the ponds that front Upper Manatee River Road, separated only by a hedge, seem to be the main targets.

Brocki goes out almost every day to catch and release. The ponds have large-mouth bass and tilapia.

Waterlefe used to have quality bass fishing in the canals, Brocki said, but the population has decreased. The community has seen an increase of white pelicans feasting on its stock.

If your Air Conditioning System is more than 8 years old then you’ve gotta read this!!!!

After residents complained that strangers were trespassing by fishing in their waters, the Waterlefe Community Development District is cracking down.

The board of supervisors has considered entering a program that would allow the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office to enforce no trespassing signs. The CDD plans to install no trespassing signs along the shores of ponds and lakes and also along the golf course.

With the Sheriff’s Office program in place, residents who see strangers trespassing or fishing in the ponds can report them.

John Brocki, CDD supervisor, is leading the effort. He said it’s unsafe for fishermen to be on the golf course while golfers are playing and also noted residents don’t like to see strangers in their back yards.

The CDD pays for the ponds to be stocked and approved a $5,500 payment for more fish at its May 16 meeting. He and the board believe that fishing in its ponds should be only for residents.

“Residents can fish as long as they don’t interfere with the golf course,” he said.

Brocki said it’s not a new concern, but a growing one.

“We’ve always had some, but

neighboring communities said the bridge would be out of place, would hurt property values and would compound traffic congestion issues near The Mall at University Town Center, among other concerns.

“Tara Boulevard is not the right street for this project,” Tara resident Sandy Gilbert said.

Proponents of the bridge, wearing hunter green shirts with white lettering “Build Tara Bridge Now,” said the bridge would provide a safer driving alternative to Interstate 75 and would improve emergency response times.

“I believe having a bridge and having the accessibility to the firehouse and the ambulance services on the other side would be a benefit,” River Place resident Kent Haas said.

The project has been in the county’s plans for decades, but county officials removed it from

plans at one time, then placed it back and purchased the last bit of property needed for the project by eminent domain June 19, 2012.

However, county commissioners say the project is not a priority for the near future.

Commissioners told the audience it will be important for them to focus on one major transportation improvement project at a

time, because building roadways in pieces adds significantly to costs.

“We’ve made 44th Avenue a priority,” Commissioner Betsy Benac said of the project, which will connect Cortez Road in the west to Lorraine Road in the east. “We’ve got to get 44th done before we talk about spending more funds.”

Commissioner Vanessa Baugh agreed. “I cannot look at my constituents and say we’ll never build the Tara Bridge,” she said. “Right now, we don’t have the funds.

We’ve committed millions upon millions for 44th. There’s a lot of need in this county.”

At its capital improvement plan workshop, the County Commission will discuss what projects should be completed, and when.

It is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. June 16 in the Manatee Room of the county administration building, 1112 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.

School board approves Parrish land purchase

District will spend $2.3 million on 48-acre high school site.

Manatee County School Board members approved the purchase of 48 acres for the Parrish high school site, but a few school board members expressed reservations.

At the May 24 meeting, Vice Chairman Charlie Kennedy said he felt the whole process had been rushed.

He said the district should look at the other district-owned, 60-acre site in Parrish.

Executive Planner Mike Pendley told the board the second site is not ideal for a high school. A main problem is the presence of a wetland on the site. Those two problems would have to be mitigated, reducing the number of buildable acres.

The site also is located near a railroad track.

“Our buses are required by law to stop, and it’s going to be a problem,” Pendley said.

The site was purchased with the

plan to make it an elementary or middle school.

The district will buy the site of the future high school, at 11601 Erie Road, for $2.3 million. It shares a property line with another 48 acres the district purchased in 2005, giving a new high school a 96-acre lot.

Unlike elementary schools and middle schools, Pendley said a high school needs about 82 to 100 acres for student parking lots, sports fields, agricultural programs and large buildings, which are usually about 250,000 to 300,000 square feet.

One parent, Tami Vaughan of Parrish, spoke during the public hearing. Her concern was the state of the main roadways, Martha and Erie roads, and their narrow size. She didn’t believe the streets could handle high school capacity traffic, or school buses.

Pendley said Erie Road was sufficient for a new high school, but that the county would probably have to consider improvements to the street once development starts filling in the area.

Erie Road will be the main access point for the school.

District cuts tie between impact fees, sales tax Caveat that would reduce impact fees upon passing of school sales tax removed.

Photo by Jessica Salmond

JESSICA SALMOND STAFF WRITER

Superintendent Diana Greene accepts flowers from her husband, James, after the Manatee County School Board approved her four-year contract.

Greene lands four-year contract The school board unanimously approved Superintendent Diana Greene’s four-year contract during the May 26 meeting, amid applause from her church community and husband, James, in the audience.

Greene was hired as superintendent last May on a year-long contract.

“You’ve handled every issue with grace, dignity and civility,” board member Robert Gause said.

Greene will earn $189,955 annually.

Last year, she accepted her contract at $180,000, less than her predecessor Rick Mills earned. She asked for a lower amount

as a gesture of solidarity with her employees, many of whom didn’t get annual raises due to budget constraints.

“It was a symbolic gesture for the pain they had been through,” she said. “I wanted the employees to know how much I wanted to be their superintendent.”

Her contract includes the option for a one-year extension after the four years are up if approved by the board.

“The district needs (trust),” she said. “It’s important to understand, building trust doesn’t mean we always agree. I’m going to tell it like it is.”

The Manatee County School Board has decided the fate of a half-cent school sales tax will have no effect on the way school impact fees are collected.

In coming up with its plan to collect school impact fees, the school board agreed in January to reduce impact fees if the public votes to continue a half cent school sales tax. The current half -ent sales tax expires in 2017.

School Board member Dave “Watchdog” Miner attempted to rescind the caveat at the April 26 meeting and failed.

Vice Chairman Charles Kennedy revisited the issue at the May 24 school board meeting.

The board rescinded the caveat unanimously.

Kennedy and other board members said their constituents felt tying the two together endangered the likelihood of getting the half-cent sales tax renewed by voters.

“The worry hit home with me,” Kennedy said. “We’re putting voters in a position of putting one over the other.”

Pending Manatee County commissioners’ approval, school impact fees will be collected on a tiered schedule for the next three years.

Impact fees are used for growth projects, such as the addition under construction at William H. Bashaw Elementary.

The school board favors a plan to ease into the amount of impact fees recommended by TischlerBise, a consulting firm hired to study the district’s needs. If approved by county commissioners, the district will collect 50% of the suggested amount in 2016, 75% of the suggested amount in 2017 and the full amount starting in 2018.

When implemented fully in 2018, the school district is projected to gain an annual average of $16 million in impact fees from the development of new homes in the county.

Superintendent Diana Greene said the half-cent sales tax is

Shop our

the priority for the district, for it brings in close to $30 million annually. That money can be spent in more ways than impact fees, which can only be spent on projects that accommodate a growing population.

With five months until a possible November vote, Greene said she has to start reaching out to civic organizations, parent councils and community groups to educate the community on the importance of the sales tax to the district.

“The community has to advocate for it,” she said. “We’re getting very close to a difficult deadline. It’s going to be intense.”

Eventually, the educators present at the May 25 seminar, and others, might be turning their attention to a different kind of need.

Kirk Boylston, president of Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty, has been courting STEM-related institutions to anchor the 265-acre biotech campus that will be built between Rangeland Parkway and State Road 70 in Lakewood Ranch.

The project is known as CORE (Collaboration Opportunities for Research and Exploration) at Lakewood Ranch.

“There are things we are working on,” Boylston said of attracting a major educational player to the project. “But we have nothing that is set, nothing of substance.”

Representatives from University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee and State College of Florida said their institutions look forward to serving the Lakewood Ranch biotech campus once it develops, but they don’t foresee building on the CORE campus.

A CORE campus might also draw from nearby educational institutions such as LECOM and Manatee Tech if those institutions tweak curriculum to serve a blossoming biotech community. Both are within a mile of the planned CORE campus.

t was an unflattering term to be associated with Manatee County, a place that is rapidly expanding in terms of population and business.

Yet, educator Terry Osborn threw out the scary notion of “a local brain drain.”

Osborn, the vice chancellor of the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, was addressing a packed house May 25, at the Polo Grill and Bar about his university’s responsibility to provide the region’s workforce with the type of labor it needs.

The program was hosted by the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance and titled, “What is the state of talent in our region?”

Five guest speakers talked about the importance of supplying the right type of employees to the regional workforce and adjusting their focus if that goal isn’t being met.

Sharon Hillstrom, the president and CEO of the Bradenton Economic Development Corp., made it clear for the county to grow successfully, those planning the growth had better form a cooperative bond with educators.

Hillstrom said Bradenton Economic Development is working with its “partners,” the University of South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee; the State College of Florida, the Ringling College of Art and Design, New College of Florida and Eckerd College.

When Hillstrom makes contact with a business planning a move to the area, she can explain she has a cooperative effort among educational institutions to educate future employees for that business.

She also noted that “90% of new job creation comes from businesses already here.”

So that means those educational institutions must understand the needs of local businesses as they grow and be committed to those businesses.

Hillstrom said many of the new positions involve STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), and the colleges are adapting.

Osborn said USFSM has adapted by changing the way it prepares its students for the future.

The university now works with students to create a career success map that leads them to envision where they’d like to work when they graduate.

Osborn said universities in general need to work harder to identify the kind of field a student wants to make a career in and find whether the field matches the student’s strengths. “We have to think about careers on the first day (of college),” he said.

The hope is the university will better guide a student on a path that will translate into a career.

Instead of regular guidance counselors, the USFSM is hiring “career advisers” — real-world business people who can describe work environments to students so they can make better decisions about their future careers.

“How do you get a 17-year-old

Vulovich said the college needs to explain to students about the opportunity in a growing field in the area and the fact they can land a job.

JAY HEATER

Instructors drive teen safety home

T

he cardboard cut-out deer was just ahead on the track at Bradenton Motorsports Park and my BRAKES driving instructor was prompting me to go faster.

“Floor it,” she said firmly, before adding even louder.

“Floor it!”

My right foot didn’t want to cooperate as it received conflicting instructions from my brain. After all, that was Bambi, for goodness sakes, and I didn’t want to squish Bambi.

I finally got a little bit of speed going, and I was closing on my intended target in a hurry. That’s when my instructor did an about-face. “Brake! Brake!”

I followed orders, veering off to the right of Bambi and feeling a grab, grab, grab, from the antilock brakes, instead of experiencing an uncontrolled skid.

It was just a little demonstration of what today’s cars can do.

It’s safe to say that many adults don’t understand the capabilities of today’s automobiles in emergency situations, unless we’ve been there, done that through experience. Taking it a step farther, it’s obvious teenagers have absolutely no idea about the capabilities, good and bad, of their cars.

BRAKES (Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe) offers a hands-on, driving school for teens unlike the type of instruction they will receive from a

Jay Heater

Former pro race car driver Robin Dallenbach was among the instructors at the BRAKES hands-on driving school at Bradenton Motorsports Park.

driver’s education class or from driving with their parents. The BRAKES driving instructors allow teens to feel for themselves what it is like to go into a skid, to veer off the road in an emergency situation or to experience the feel of anti-lock brakes.

“It’s something you can’t teach them,” said Bradenton’s Ray Gape, who brought his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, to take the free class.

After years of driving as adults, most of us don’t want to put our kids into a skid to prove a point.

So after 50 hours of instruction, it’s likely they feel they know it all.

Such was the case for Bradenton’s Courtney Yost, who was pulled out of bed May 22 by her mother, Sandy, to attend the class.

“I was kind of tired and I thought I knew everything,” said Courtney Yost, who is 15. “I’m glad I had my eyes opened to what could happen.”

Most of what can happen is bad. I watched as students crushed cones, sent their vehicles into spins or ran over Bambi.

Doug Herbert, the owner and founder of BRAKES who started the organization in 2008 after two of his teenage sons,

BRAKES had 15 other instructors, many with driving backgrounds just as impressive as Robin Dallenbach, trying to impress upon teens that they don’t live in a bubble. Some of the message came before the teens even climbed into the vehicles. Instructors talked about the tragedies they had experienced. They also told the teens one of the most important decisions they will make is whether to get into a vehicle at all, especially when one of their friends is driving.

“We want them to know, when something doesn’t feel right, get out of the vehicle,” said instructor Todd Modderman.

Sitting next to Dallenbach, I thought how fortunate it was BRAKES decided to come to the Lakewood Ranch area for the first time. With continued sponsorship, the program will return and that’s a bonanza for our area.

Why? It was obvious.

As I waited for my next turn and watched another teen driver floor it, Bambi was squished once again.

James and Jon, were killed in an auto accident, explained to me I couldn’t get the feel of what BRAKES is all about by standing to the side and watching.

So he put me in a car with one of his instructors, Robin Dallenbach, for a run around the course.

After I failed miserably to follow her instructions the first time around the course, Dallenbach told me we needed to start over.

As we waited another turn, I started to think about the name, Dallenbach. My instructor was the second woman to qualify to a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, a 30-year veteran of auto racing, a precision and stunt driver and a pace car driver for the Indy Car World Series from 1985-1998. She is the wife of former NASCAR driver Wally Dallenbach, who also was a longtime television auto racing commentator.

Obviously, Robin Dallenbach, who lives in Texas, has lots of things she could be doing with her time, but she feels it is more important to fly around the country to work with Herbert and BRAKES. Perhaps her main goal is to let teenagers know they aren’t invincible. “They think they have a little bubble around them,” she said. “And we don’t teach them any of this in driver’s ed.”

She received several phone calls from someone claiming to be a representative of a local bail bond service. The woman’s husband has a bond. The person on the phone said he needed $1,000 or he would revoke her husband’s bond. The price went down from $1,000 to $50 while she was on the phone. She gave the person her debit card number, but there was no money on the card when the man tried to use it. He tried to call her again, using a phone number from a California area code.

Southbound I-75 Information only: A woman called the Sheriff’s Office to report a dangerous driver who had cut her off several times. She called 911 and gave the Sheriff’s Office a tag number from the vehicle. She claimed the other driver was intentionally trying to make her crash at least four times because the other driver would speed up, cut her off and slow down again. The woman is going through a divorce and called her private investigator about the incident. The investigator told her the car’s tag belonged to another private investigator in Sarasota.

900 block of 21st Street East Information only: A man contacted the Sheriff’s Office and said his car had been stolen.

He said he had been home all evening and had parked it in the parking lot at 7 p.m. Another man who was sleeping in his own car all night told the Sheriff’s Office he did not see any car being stolen, and he was parked right next to where the first man claimed his vehicle was stolen from. When the Sheriff’s Office investigated the vehicle, deputies discovered it had been towed by the Florida Highway Patrol because it had been involved in a hit and run.

The man was arrested, and had several prior convictions for theft.

GREEN GOO GRIPES Algae blooms continue to be hot topic for Town Hall director of operations.

“It’s normal. It’s temperature and light dependent. It blossoms like anything else.”

– Paul Chetlain, Lakewood Ranch Town Hall director of operations

PAM EUBANKS SENIOR EDITOR

t’s the current look of many local ponds.

Thick, clumpy green algae.

Unfortunately for residents who would like a quick fix, those doing their best to fight the problem tell them to allow nature to run its course.

In the spring, the algae blooms largely are inevitable as homeowners treat their yards with fertilizer and heavy rain wash those treatments, as well as yard clippings, into stormwater ponds.

The nutrients from them, combined with warmer waters, promote algae growth.

“It’s normal,” said Paul Chetlain, director of operations for Lakewood Ranch Town Hall. “It’s temperature and light dependent.

It blossoms like anything else.”

Although lake maintenance contractors and Town Hall employees work to minimize the blooms through aeration devices, nutrient binders and other treatments, much of the fix simply will come with time, Chetlain said.

Josh McGarry, district manager for Aquatic Systems, which maintains ponds for Heritage Harbour South, Tara and Lakewood Ranch phase 1 community development districts, agreed the residents just need to be patient and time will

clear the waters.

At the last Heritage Harbour South CDD meeting, he told CDD supervisors and the public that there were treatment options, but summer rain events were the ponds’ best remedy. They will keep water moving and help flush out any potential blooms.

“You’ll see this subside,” he said.

Those working on the ponds have said they’ve already seen improvement.

Additionally, Manatee County’s fertilizer ordinance went into effect June 1. The ordinance bans the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers from June 1 through Sept.

30. The ordinance also requires nitrogen-based fertilizers to be at least 50% slow-release for the

remainder of the year.

It also bans fertilizers from being applied within 10 feet from the water’s edge. Additionally, phosphorous applications are banned year-round, unless a soil analysis proves a phosphorous deficiency and the deficiency is put on record with the county administrator, among other restrictions.

AN ACE UNDER PRESSURE Lakewood Ranch grad leads Virginia to men’s golf national championship tournament.

BY THE NUMBERS

JEN BLANCO SPORTS EDITOR

It was college golf’s biggest stage, so naturally, Danny Walker raised his level of play in the opening round.

A sophomore at the University of Virginia, Walker tied for his team’s low score with a two-over par 72 at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore., in the opening round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships May 27.

A dominant figure in Florida state high school golf during his time at Lakewood Ranch High School, Walker led the Mustangs to three consecutive state team titles after he won the individual championship as a freshman in 2010.

However, getting acclimated to collegiate golf has taken time.

When Virginia competed at the 2015 national championships, Walker couldn’t crack the lineup.

Now the adjustment period appears to be over. Walker shot his team’s second-best score of 212, including a final-round 72 on May 18, during the regional competition at Vanderbilt Legends Club. Virginia finished fifth in the tournament, securing the last nationals’ qualifying berth by one shot.

Although the Cavaliers, who placed 22nd overall, didn’t make the cut from 30 teams to 15 after Sunday’s third round at the nationals, they are poised to make a bigger run next year with Walker playing a lead role.

Among Virginia’s top scorers at the nationals were freshmen Ashton Poole and Thomas Walsh, so Virginia has a bright future.

That means more pressure events for Walker with the team depending on him.

“He seems to be motivated more by big events,” said Walker’s

State championships won by Walker while playing for Lakewood Ranch High School, including an individual state championship as a freshman in 2010 and three-consecutive team state championships from 2011 to 2013.

former Lakewood Ranch High coach, Dave Frantz. “Therefore, he thinks his way around the course, prepares and sticks to a game plan. And because he has been on the biggest stages at every level at which he has competed, he tends to perform better.”

While the Eugene Country Club course was a little tighter with taller trees than any course he has played in a while, Walker didn’t get caught up with the pressure. He wanted to represent Virginia well and have some fun.

“I feel like there was more pressure at regionals because we wanted to get to the nationals so badly,” Walker said. “Once you get here, the pressure is off. You have nothing to lose. You just go out and play.

“It’s a cool atmosphere and one of the best tournaments in amateur golf. It’s just fun to play and be out there.”

Walker started to have more fun with college golf after a tournament his freshman season.

He walked off the 18th green at Palmetto Golf Club, in Aiken, S.C., having shot a career-best 6-under par 64 on the second day of the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Invite March 9, 2015.

The 2014 graduate of Lakewood Ranch earned team medalist honors for the Cavaliers and was fourth overall with a 6-under par 204.

“It was good for my self confidence to show that I have what it takes,” he said. “I showed I can play well enough to win college tournaments.”

Winning is something Walker has done since he started playing competitively in elementary school. Although he has yet to win his first collegiate tournaSEE WALKER PAGE 16

At 9, Braden River student already a triple threat

F

our years ago, I met 5-yearold Abby Hite.

She had just completed, and won, her first sprint triathlon.

I don’t know about you; but when I was in kindergarten, the thought of competing in a triathlon never crossed my mind.

Swimming, biking and running were all activities I enjoyed, but not on a competitive level.

Swimming was something you did for fun in the summer.

Running consisted of tag and kickball. A bike was a mode of transportation to get from one friend’s house to the next.

Athletics for kindergartners consisted of T-ball or youth soccer.

Over time, I’ve come to realize anything is possible, and that includes being an elementary triathlete.

Abby, now 9 years old and a fourth-grader at Braden River Elementary, has continued to keep up with her triathlons and has competed in three this year, along with a duathlon, an open water swim and four 5K runs.

Last month, Abby won her third triathlon of the year, the St. Anthony’s Meek & Mighty Triathlon. On May 21, she won the 6-10 age division at the Youth Splash & Dash Duathlon at Madeira Beach. She also finished third in the half-mile open water swim.

“The more triathlons I do, the

While the Lakewood Ranch High football team was busy ushering in a new crop of playmakers for its spring game at Booker May 27, five seniors announced they will continue their football careers in college.

J.T. Fischer (Weber International), Roberto Valls (North Carolina Wesleyan College), Kyle Mathis (North Park University), J.J. Williams (Wilmington College) and Gabe Overmyer (Stetson University) all signed May 20 to play football.

Ashlee Harrison, Reclamation Ecologist South Pasture Mine, Hardee County

As an ecologist, I am part of a dedicated team that oversees the reclamation of Mosaic’s mined lands. Before phosphate operations begin, I work with scientists, engineers and environmental specialists to carefully plan for reclaimed land uses. Last year, those plans included planting more than 2 million trees — and reclaiming land for wildlife habitats, parks, agriculture and other productive uses. There’s a reason Mosaic is so passionate about reclamation: we know our kids and grandkids will enjoy these lands for generations to come.

ment, his play has proven he has the ability.

However, he also has adjusted to not being the best player on the course on a regular basis.

“I definitely miss the winning, but I really enjoy the competition more,” Walker said. “When you do win, it’s a lot more of an accomplishment.”

After Walker failed to earn a spot on Virginia’s 2015 squad that competed at the national championship tournament, he worked hard during the offseason so it wouldn’t happen again.

“He’s really developed a lot in the last two years,” Virginia coach Bowen Sargent said. “This year we have equally as good a team (as in 2015), and he’s stepped up.”

In high school, Walker finished first or second in just about every tournament, Now he has learned that isn’t possible.

He looks at the final numbers to determine how he and the rest of the Cavaliers performed.

“When you look at the guys on tour, they don’t win very much,” Walker said. “They may win a couple tournaments out of 25 or 30, and they can still have good seasons.”

“Golf is a very challenging sport and the challenge now is for him to continue to improve on his consistency,” said Walker’s father, James Walker.

The younger Walker still has aspirations of playing professionally, but for now, he’s focused on returning to Virginia and helping the Cavaliers to another national championship tournament appearance.

With all five starters from this year’s postseason team returning, Walker expects Virginia to have its strongest team in recent memory and the one best suited to contend for a national championship.

“He’s played great all spring and had a solid fall campaign as well,” Sargent said. “He’s an explosive player who can make a lot of birdies. He’s really helped us in a lot of spots this year.”

Warwich Gardens home tops real estate sales at $775,000 COUNTRY CLUB VILLAGE AT LAKEWOOD RANCH

ADAM HUGHES RESEARCH EDITOR

A

home in Warwich Gardens topped all transactions in this week’s real estate.
