“I don’t think that not being able to go to the library for one day constitutes the type of cruel and unusual punishment that the Eighth Amendment was designed to prohibit.”

WHAT’S THE BUZZ? The Bullet Hole owners have bought their building and plan to stay.

Francis Misantone and his wife, Barbara, and son Brooke, who co-own the gun repair, sales and safe shop, have purchased the 7,875-square-foot location at 330 S. Orange Ave. for $900,000, according to a deed filed with the Sarasota County Clerk of the Court. The move comes about two-and-a-half years after the iconic business left Main Street to seek a longer lease.

“We’ve been here for 67 years, and we had only moved around the corner,” Francis Misantone said. “So we’re not going anywhere.”

With the Sarasota Downtown Community Redevelopment Area set to expire next year, city officials hope they can establish an effective economic development funding mechanism in its place — perhaps one modeled after the CRA. At a special meeting Thursday to discuss life “beyond the CRA,” the City Commission agreed to explore various avenues for funding capital projects in areas the city wants to see improved.

In addition to compiling a list of future projects to determine whether the county could work collaboratively on any of them, the commission was focused on seeing what the city could do on its own.

City Manager Tom Barwin said staff is investigating the possibility of maintaining the city’s contribution to the Downtown CRA — the taxincrement financing (TIF) revenue from within the current downtown CRA boundaries. The city is expected to contribute $4.3 million in tax revenue to the CRA in its final year.

n Monday, the City Commission unanimously approved a settlement agreement with the owners of the Ringling Shopping Center.

The deal could potentially end a legal battle that has been ongoing for more than two years, sparked by the city’s 2013 rejection of a proposed Wal-Mart at the site.

Still, questions linger.

Will the current building remain? What stores will be allowed on the land? What might a new building have to look like?

And what, exactly, do the property owners have planned?

The Doyle Family Trust, which owns the mostly vacant shopping center at Lime Avenue and Ringling Boulevard, doesn’t have to answer that question for a year.

At Monday’s City Commission meeting, a representative for the property owners said there is no concrete vision for what should be developed on the land.

The city laid out three options for the property owner: Renovate the existing building, redevelop under current zoning regulations or redevelop under new zoning regulations. The property owners must choose their course within one year.

If consummated, the deal would bring an end to multiple legal claims following the WalMart rejection. When owner Louis Doyle resumed his push to redevelop the shopping center, some residents grew concerned the Wal-Mart big-box store proposal would be submitted again.

City Attorney Robert Fournier said that scenario couldn’t come to bear under any of the options.

If it were up to the city, Option C would be the choice: downtown zoning regulations would be in line with the city’s current vision for development. Still, Fournier said the goal is to get the property revitalized.

“We’re open to the downtown zoning,” Fournier said. “We’d like to do that, but we’re not going to force it on the property owner.”

Attorney Robert Lincoln, who appeared at Monday’s meeting to represent the property owners, said the easiest option for the Doyles would be to rehabilitate the existing structure. The easi-

Retail Therapy After two years of legal action, the city and the owners of the Ringling Shopping Center have reached a settlement agreement. Now what?

David Conway

The Ringling Shopping Center is the only property in the city with Commercial Shopping Center-Neighborhood zoning regulation. As part of a settlement agreement with the property owners, the city may permit the redevelopment of the land under the existing regulations — or it might allow the use of new regulations, which place an emphasis on form rather than use.

est option might not be the most financially sound, though.

“What they know is, if they do that, their ability to get higherend national and other clients is limited,” Lincoln said. “They have a pretty strong incentive to try and figure out how to make sure the second or third alternatives work.”

After an option is selected, any specific site plans would still be subject to city review.

Although the property owners are exploring the option of working with the downtown zoning, possibly on a phased development, Lincoln said it is difficult to find developers willing and able to work within those new urbanist regulations. As a result, the owners believe it is more probable that they will use the existing zoning.

“I would say they think the most likely thing to happen is that somebody will figure out how to do a more conventional-type redevelopment of the site under the existing zoning,” Lincoln said.

EXPLORING THEIR OPTIONS Here’s a breakdown of the three options the city has presented to the Ringling Shopping Center property owners:

OPTION A* The property owner remodels or renovates the current Ringling Shopping Center structure under the existing zoning.

The Ringling Shopping Center, constructed in 1954, was originally zoned as Commercial Shopping Center-Neighborhood in 1977. Today, it’s the only property in the entire city with that zoning designation — and city regulations make it so no other property can get that designation in the future.

The city’s design preferences have changed since the ’70s. Still, the settlement agreement gives the property owners the ability to maintain the property in its existing strip-mall configuration.

Under this option, the city would lift setback regulations so the property owners could construct a smaller new retail use with a drive-thru near Ringling Boulevard and Lime Avenue. Per CSCN regulations, buildings could cover no more than 30% of the property.

OPTION B*

The property owner redevelops the land under the existing zoning.

The property owners also have the option to demolish the existing shopping center to build a new structure.

This would have to conform to some CSCN regulations regarding building coverage and minimum setbacks, though there would be no minimum setback along Ringling Boulevard.

A portion of the land along Shopping Avenue, currently zoned for residential single-family development, could be designed for stormwater usage and pedestrian access to the redeveloped property. *The city ruled that several retail uses — a Wal-Mart “neighborhood market” with a pharmacy, a drug store such as Walgreens or CVS and a craft store such as Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or Jo Ann Fabric — would be allowed in the CSC-N zone district and would not be subject to any particular size restrictions.

OPTION C

The city rezones the property, and the property owner develops the land under downtown zoning regulations.

Under Downtown Edge and Downtown Neighborhood Edge zoning regulations, any developer would have to comply with the new urbanist design principles that guide those classifications.

An emphasis on form, rather than use, means that a department store such as Wal-Mart could be developed under these regulations. However, a suburban-style “big box” store would not fit the design criteria outlined in the zoning code.

The existing sign at the shopping center would not be allowed on a pedestrian-oriented primary street. Under the proposal, Ringling Boulevard would be designated as a primary street — except for one 100-foot-wide portion. This would allow for the construction of a new monument sign and an entrance to the interior of the property.

A Housing Plan,

Divided

The city and county will meet next month to discuss regional homelessness issues. Can the two sides, pursuing distinct strategies, find any points of compromise? as-you-are shelter proposal. The county has been satisfied with Marbut’s work addressing nonchronic homelessness issues.

The city has pivoted after abandoning the shelter talks, pursuing a “housing first” model. This plan aims to place homeless individuals in permanent supportive housing as quickly as possible.

Supporters say this has become the favored approach across the country: A report from the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness says “the research is overwhelmingly clear” that housing first is the solution for chronic homelessness.

City Manager Tom Barwin has downplayed the split, pointing to the city and county’s shared interest in some sort of shelter — but even that point of agreement is the source of discord.

The county would like a shelter within city limits, close to existing service agencies and the jail.

The city believes such a facility would disproportionately burden the surrounding neighborhood.

Now more than a year removed from a failed joint effort to pursue a regional come-as-you-are homeless shelter, the Sarasota County and City commissions will meet Nov. 6 to discuss regional homeless strategies.

Although members of each board hope to find common goals, City Commissioner Susan Chapman isn’t optimistic that the time apart will bear fruitful results.

“I would love to find a way to stop this circular argument, I really would — but I have no idea how to do it,” Chapman said at a meeting Monday. “We have been saying the same things for what?

Over a year, a year and half, at least? There’s just a fundamental, fixed difference.”

Indeed, the city and the county have focused on distinct plans for addressing homelessness. The county has continued to follow the guidance of Robert Marbut, the consultant originally hired by the city and county and the man behind the 250-bed comeSponsored by

city sees it as a checkpoint before individuals can be housed. The ideal size differs, too.

“We adopted a plan for a shelter — a navigation center with 25 to 50 beds,” Barwin said. “In staff conversations with the county, they’re responding that they’re continuing to tick with the 250bed project. There are different perspectives, different needs.”

City commissioners asked to invite the county’s other municipalities to the Nov. 6 meeting, partially out of concern that the dialogue might not be productive otherwise. They’ve also asked staff to obtain more substantive data regarding their plans for the county.

Although she is an advocate for housing first, City Commissioner Shelli Freeland Eddie sees room for collaboration. She recognizes there’s a chance the two sides determine their positions are incompatible, but she believes the city and county owe it to their constituencies to at least try.

Eddie frustrated with the lack of implementation all around.

She wants the joint meeting to focus on items the city and county can actually act on, including a discussion of logistics and cost.

She hopes it serves as a first step toward a more substantive strategy to address homelessness.

“We’re not going to have all the answers, but at least we’ll have a starting point — and it has to be beyond do we or don’t we want the shelter,” Eddie said. “What are some immediate needs? How

can our priorities come together to achieve those needs and what are the resources available?”

Among county officials, there is a broader consensus that a joint meeting will be productive.

County Director of Homeless Services Wayne Applebee sums up the county’s viewpoint: It’s not opposed to housing first, but does believe it can’t address the homeless issue alone.

“It’s about developing a coordinated, collaborative system where we might take different pieces of the pie,” Applebee said. “If we can get to that discussion, we might have some success.”

That separate-but-together philosophy might continue into the funding stage, too. Applebee said the county currently focuses

“We typically funds parts of systems.

We don’t fund entire systems from A to Z.” – Wayne Applebee, county director of homeless services

on funding crisis programming, teaming with other partners that provide longer-term care.

“I think the county certainly understands the need for housing,” Applebee said. “At the same time, we typically funds parts of systems. We don’t fund entire systems from A to Z.” For Chapman, perhaps the strongest critic of the Marbut proposal, she still doesn’t think there’s been enough evidence to support the efficacy of the come-as-you-are shelter. In that respect, compromising and allowing the county to build it holds less appeal. She’d rather make the case to the county that housing first is the right goal to prioritize, but she’s skeptical that the city will have the opportunity.

“I would love to have an opening for that, but it doesn’t seem to be coming,” Chapman said. “I would like to find a way to resolve it other than, ‘we have to do what they say,’ which is not the mainstream approach anymore.”

A lawsuit filed last week challenges the constitutionality of the city’s no-lodging ordinance.

Without adequate shelter, the suit says, the ordinance represents the criminalization of homelessness.

City Attorney Robert Fournier was openly critical of the lawsuit Monday, arguing that the defendants haven’t been deprived of constitutional rights. He said he believed the suit was legal consultant Michael Barfield’s attempt to persuade the city to construct a comeas-you-are shelter.

Here’s a look at some of Fournier’s most notable claims, and Barfield’s response to the allegations.

On the constitutional challenge to the city’s no-lodging ordinance: Fournier: “I don’t think that not being able to go to the library for one day constitutes the type of cruel and unusual punishment that the Eighth Amendment was designed to prohibit.”

Barfield: “I don’t think the timeframe matters — (the defendants’) rights were nonetheless violated. ...

They have had to go to court. Being subjected to the criminal justice system, some have been fined. (One defendant) had been imprisoned for lodging out-of-doors.”

Fournier

Barfield

On Fournier’s position that the ordinance hasn’t actually been applied to the defendants: Fournier: “If someone is walking down the sidewalk, and they see a big crack in the sidewalk, are they going to sue because they might trip and fall on that crack — and if they do trip and fall, they might get injured?”

Barfield: “It’s not one incident, or two or even a dozen. We meticulously spent weeks and documented that there had been nearly 900 prosecutions for people sleeping out-of-doors in Sarasota.”

On Barfield’s motives: Fournier: “It’s my belief the plaintiffs aren’t being helped here. I think they’re being used as pawns in a chess game to influence legislative policy-making.”

Barfield: “There are multiple attorneys, esteemed members of this community involved. People don’t just put their name on something and not look at it. I don’t know what the city attorney is smoking, but to accuse these attorneys of unethical behavior — on what he admitted is a gut feeling — is absurd.”

Third-Party Poopers A draft of an independent peer review criticized plans to renourish Lido Key and dredge Big Pass — but the city and Army Corps say they aren’t fazed by the findings yet.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

City engineer Alex DavisShaw doesn’t want to offer too much feedback on the third-party review of plans to dredge Big Pass because she doesn’t think it’s done yet.

“It’s really hard to speak to it until they finish it,” DavisShaw said. “I’m sort of surprised it went out with all these gaps in it, when they hadn’t really — as far as I can tell — done all they could to get that information.”

The review, commissioned by Sarasota County and released in late September, was still a draft.

The county and engineering consulting firm Atkins, which conducted the review, have 17 days after the initial report to finalize their findings.

Still, that draft didn’t hesitate to criticize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ plans to renourish a portion of the Lido Key shoreline with up to 1.3 million cubic yards of sand from Big Pass, which has never before been dredged. The project would be part of a proposed 50-year, long-term effort

to maintain the Lido shoreline.

The Atkins review alleges that the Army Corps’ reports “lack the supporting documentation necessary to confidently accept the conclusions.” The Army Corps has assured concerned residents that the project wouldn’t adversely affect Siesta Key, a claim that’s been met with skepticism.

Vocal critics of the dredge, such as the advocacy group Save our Siesta Sand 2, seized on the report as confirmation of their fears. But DavisShaw said the city and Army Corps didn’t see anything in the report to give them pause as they proceed with efforts to get state approval for the project.

The report cites multiple instances where Atkins believes the Army Corps’ claims lack evidence, or that different descriptions of the project conflict with one another, or that data used is outdated. DavisShaw declined to comment on specifics, but she indicated that Atkins had failed to procure material that could have answered some of those questions.

“There’s a lot of information that it appears wasn’t gathered,”

DavisShaw said. “Talking with both my consultant and the Corps, there’s nothing that was written that causes them to second guess what they’ve done and think there’s an error in their protocol, their modeling.”

Other than confirming it had received the draft report, the Army Corps declined to comment on specifics.

“We are confident in our work and continue to move forward through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection permitting process,” Army Corps spokeswoman Erica Skolte wrote in an email.

If the finalized report includes information that causes the city and Corps to question the work it has done to date, DavisShaw said they’d work to address them.

The report acknowledges that Atkins hasn’t performed an “independent analysis of alternatives,” but that it believes parts of the project could begin as the long-term impacts are delayed for further study.

This is central to DavisShaw’s lack of concern about the findings in the draft report. She said the report doesn’t provide any evidence that the Army Corps’ plan is incorrect or problematic, only concerns that it could be.

“If I walked outside and I say, ‘I don’t see anything that makes it look like it’s going to rain today, but I just think that’s going to rain,’ I don’t know that that’s going to make you go back and get a raincoat,” DavisShaw said.

CALL & RESPONSE Here are some of the criticisms of the Army Corps’ plans to dredge Big Pass raised in the Atkins review of the project — and responses to those criticisms from city engineer Alex DavisShaw.

“I’m sort of surprised it went out with all these gaps in it, when they hadn’t really — as far as I can tell — done all they could to get that information.”

– Alex DavisShaw, city engineer

ATKINS REVIEW

DAVISSHAW'S RESPONSE

“The (Army Corps’) reports lack the supporting documentation necessary to confidently accept the conclusions.”

“There were a lot of areas where (Atkins) needed to do a little bit more due diligence.

Until they’re done, I don’t want to judge.”

“Studies have not been provided that present analysis of the long-term effects of the proposed activities.”

“There’s not an assumption that what gets permitted here is going to be ongoing, and we’ll do the same thing over and over again — it’ll be an event with monitoring. When it’s time to go back and renourish Lido, we’ll look to see how things perform there.”

“A request to the Corps for clarification and additional information have been made by the reviewer through the county, but as of this report not received.”

“They never did ask for information from the Army Corps. ...

The Corps doesn’t have any info on how they were formally requested.”

Honore to receive another roundabout Prepare to slow down when you drive the intersection of Honore Avenue and Central Sarasota Parkway.

JACK SHORT STAFF WRITER

Palmer Ranch residents may soon get a break from speeding vehicles on Honore Avenue.

Palmer Ranch Holdings Ltd. has hired engineering firm Stantec to install a new roundabout at Honore and Central Sarasota Parkway to control speeding on both roads.

Frank Domingo, senior project manager at Stantec speaking on behalf of Palmer Ranch, said the Palmer Ranch Master Association had received complaints about speeding near the intersection.

Sarasota County spokesman Jason Bartolone said the county has also received complaints.

Sarasota County’s 2014 annual traffic count found that 85% of traffic on Honore near that intersection exceeds the speed limit by about 10 mph.

According to Domingo, a couple hundred feet before the roundabout, the speed limit will drop to 30mph, and inside the circle, there will be a suggested speed limit of 15 mph.

But some residents would rather not see a roundabout.

In June, Rich Alpher, who lives about a mile from the intersection, wrote to Sarasota County Commissioner Alan Maio calling the proposed roundabout “ridiculous and dangerous (at this) high speed.”

Domingo said a roundabout will be safer and more efficient than a traffic signal, which could

have been placed at the intersection, eventually.

With some roundabouts, he said, accidents are more common, but they are typically less severe and occur at lower speeds.

“There is a learning curve with a roundabout,” Domingo said, “but you should always feel a little bit of discomfort going into an intersection.”

Domingo said Stantec and Justin Powell, vice president at Palmer Ranch Holdings, began discussing the roundabout a year ago, and the design process commenced at the beginning of 2015.

Stantec applied to Sarasota County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District for permits to build the roundabout and has received approval from the latter.

If approved, the project will go out to bid this winter, and construction will start after Easter.

Construction will take approximately nine months and cost between $700,000 to $800,000.

Due to a 1999 agreement between Sarasota County and Palmer Ranch, projects within the Ranch’s boundaries that enhance capacity — allowing it to better handle traffic, for example — usually qualify for impact fee credits.

Impact fees are collected from developments in Palmer Ranch and used to pay directly for infrastructure. As a result, the community can bid projects privately, rather than relying on the county’s process for procuring contractors.

Stantec also designed six other roundabouts on Honore between Bee Ridge and Fruitville Road, as well two others in the county, one at Venice Avenue and Jacaranda Boulevard and one on Hillview Street near Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Our next president?

SARASOTA & SIESTA KEY

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

Friedrich Hayek

“Road to Serfdom,” 1944 Editor / CEO / Matt Walsh mwalsh@yourobserver.com Publisher / Lisa Walsh lwalsh@yourobserver.com Chief Digital Officer / Emily Walsh ewalsh@yourobserver.com Executive Editor / Kat Hughes khughes@yourobserver.com Managing Editor / Robin Hartill rhartill@yourobserver.com News Editor / David Conway dconway@yourobserver.com Staff Writer / Amanda Morales amorales@yourobserver.com Jack Short, jshort@yourobserver.com News Innovation Editor / Alex Mahadevan alexm@yourobserver.com Arts & Culture Managing Editor / Nick Friedman, nfriedman@yourobserver.com Arts & Culture Editor / Nick Reichert nreichert@yourobserver.com

What a sad commentary that a man who espouses a government that confiscates your life and your property is gaining traction.

T

alk about a rallying cry for the masses.

This is what Bernie Sanders, the selfproclaimed socialist Democrat running for president, says in his preamble to his stance on the issues: “The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all?”

Of course the masses will roar with thunder: “Yes! Yes! The progressive agenda! Free health care for all! Down with the rich!”

This is depressing … and downright scary.

Sanders continues to gain traction. In NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders leads Hillary Clinton. He leads Donald Trump in Iowa, and he leads Trump and Carly Fiorina and is tied with Jeb Bush in New Hampshire.

To a large degree, Sanders’ popularity is not surprising. His agenda plays to the ignorant.

Look at what he’s saying: “The reality is that for the past 40 years, Wall Street and the billionaire class has rigged the rules to redistribute wealth and income to the wealthiest and most powerful people of this country.” (Congress has helped a lot, too.)

“You can’t hide your profits in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens while there are massive unmet needs on every corner of this nation. Your greed has got to end. You cannot take advantage of all the benefits of America, if you refuse to accept your responsibilities as Americans.”

You go, Bernie. Go after those greedy, successful people who have the nerve to think the property and money they earned legally is theirs.

Make them pay up for being smart. Take it away from them, Bernie.

Take a big taste of the Sanders agenda: n “Invest $1 trillion over five years to modernize our country’s physical infrastructure.” n Oppose free-trade agreements because “they shift jobs overseas.” n “Provide $5.5 billion in immediate funding to employ 1 million young Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 and provide job training to hundreds of thousands of others.” n Increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour. n Free tuition for all at public colleges and universities throughout America. n Raise the cap on Social Security income taxes so that anyone who earns more than $250,000 a year continues to pay the Social Security tax. It currently stops after $118,500. n Expand and increase Social Security benefits for all by $65 a month and increase the cost-ofliving adjustments. n Make health care a right for all. n Create a single-payer, nationalized health care system. n Require employers to pay at least 12 weeks of

paid family and medical leave; two weeks of paid vacation; and seven paid sick days. n Universal, government-provided child care and prekindergarten for all. n Demand that “the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share in taxes.” Enact a progressive estate tax on Americans whose estates exceed $3.5 million in value.

The only thing he left out: free Obamaphones for all.

And how to pay for all he demands? Or how will Americans pay for the higher costs of goods that his policies most surely would bring?

That is what is really, really scary: Apparently, neither Sanders nor his followers have a clue about thinking through consequences of Sanders’ agenda. From where do they think all this money for all this health care and college will come? Or, what do they think will happen when taxes go up and up, and minimum wage levels go up and up? Prosperity for all — except the rich?

To be sure, it’s a sad commentary on Americans, starting with the Greatest Generation on down, on how we have let public schools and universities become an uncontrolled, incurable virus of socialistic, collectivist brainwashing.

Why is Sanders gaining so much traction?

Because the masses — and the pope — don’t understand capitalism and individualism. They don’t know or realize that entrepreneurial capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty and is fairer than any other “ism” in world history. Nor can they see that individualism, as the Founders envisioned, is the idea that your life belongs to you, that you have the inalienable right to live it as you see fit, to keep the product of your effort and pursue your own values.

The masses cheering for Sanders do not see that in his world their lives and property belong not to them, but to the collective. They must sacrifice it all for the group. The only rights they will have in Sanders’ world are those that the government permits them to enjoy.

They cannot see the unseen. They can only see the “seen” — the false promises of governmentprovided prosperity and happiness for all.

Perhaps a simpler way to address Bernie Sanders’ campaign theme of class warfare and toppling of America’s successful individuals is this analogy from Dan Watkins, a fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute: “Imagine two people are thrown into a lake: a kid who can’t swim and Michael Phelps. What would you make of someone who said, ‘There is something profoundly wrong when we’ve seen a child drown while an Olympic gold medalist easily swims to the shore?’ Take Phelps out of the picture, and the kid is still drowning. The only reason to mention Phelps is if your goal is not to help the kid, but to smear the athlete.

“So it is for the inequality alarmists. They don’t want to guide everyone to dry land. They want to drown the best swimmers.”

Bernie Sanders for president? And you think it’s bad now.

9-1 to withdraw from its partnership with SBEP in a Sept. 29 meeting.

In September 2014, an employee accused SBEP Executive Director Mark Alderson of creating a hostile work environment through aggressive outbursts.

SWFWMD said SBEP failed to notify the district of the allegations in a timely manner, according to SWFWMD spokeswoman Susanna Martinez Tarokh.

SWFWMD also claims SBEP billed legal expenses for the investigation of employee misconduct as a grant-writing line item in its project budget and that Alderson failed to follow procedures related to the investigation.

Additionally, SWFWMD says it was overbilled for expenses from August 2013 to August 2014 for construction-related expenses for the Sarasota Bay Habitat Restoration Project.

SWFWMD paid 100% of the project’s $172,000 cost, however, SBEP was responsible for half those costs. It has agreed to reimburse the water district $86,000.

Alderson said he was unable to comment on the allegations of creating a hostile work environment because the matter is under litigation. But he said the investigation found no violation

Alderson said SWFWMD’s importance goes beyond its contributions to clean up the bay. He said he is open to SBEP complying with an audit or any further scrutiny.

Moran, who sits on the boards of both SBEP and the SWFWMD, said he hopes SBEP will abide

by Alderson’s recommendations when it meets Oct. 23.

“I just want the facts,” he said, “and then we can have a good, healthy debate.”

He had emphasized in a statement to the Sarasota Observer and during discussions with SWFWMD board members at their Sept. 29 meeting that SWFWMD supports SBEP. But as a steward of taxpayer money, he said he had no choice but to call for an audit.

“Given an increase in confidence and satisfactory audit findings, I am confident the SWFWMD Board will continue our partnership with the SBEP,” Moran said.

But Longboat Key Town Commissioner and SBEP policy board member Lynn Larson said, while addressing her fellow commissioners Monday, that Alderson’s performance was favorably reviewed two years ago, and criticized SWFWMD’s decision.

“SWFWMD and the FDEP came in and tried to strong-arm the group at our most recent meeting,” she said, concluding that “it seemed almost orchestrated.”

SWFWMD offered $15,000 to fund half of a third-party audit, or to let SBEP use SWFWMD’s inspector general, Kurt Fritsch.

SWFWMD can rescind its withdrawal within 180 days and remain part of the interlocal agreement if it regains confidence.

Created in 1989, SBEP has, with the help of partners like SWFWMD, facilitated restoration of at least 1,550 acres of wetland habitat.

SWFWMD contributes to the program as part of an interlocal agreement with Manatee and Sarasota counties, Sarasota, Bradenton, Longboat Key and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Without the SWFWMD’s participation in that agreement, Alderson said, the program would lose $72,000, or 12% of its $600,000 inhouse operating budget. Its overall annual budget is $2.3 million, although Alderson did not say how much of that comes from SWFWMD. Alderson noted, however, that SWFWMD has provided 50-50 funding for most of SBEP’s wastewater reclamation projects.

Alderson called the alleged overbilling a miscommunication and said SWFWMD would be repaid, but stopped short of saying SBEP overbilled the water district.

He also noted, in an email to the Sarasota Observer, that “(SBEP has) a full federal and state audit conducted annually, and the results for the past decade have been clean.”

Jenette Seachrist, SWFWMD systems and restoration bureau chief, told the SWFWMD board that the Environmental Protection Agency performs a financial audit every three years and that no problems had been reported.

But Seachrist said SBEP policy board members have failed to arrange for the financial and operational audit SWFWMD has called for during its last two meetings.

Sarasota County Commissioner and SBEP policy board member Charles Hines wrote in an email to the Sarasota Observer that time restraints and the absence of SWFWMD representative Mike Moran prevented SBEP from agreeing to an audit at its Sept. 25 meeting.

hen he was vice president of Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Rick Carlisle served as the liaison for the Community AIDS Network (CAN). In his new role as CAN’s president and CEO, Carlisle wants to help prevent the disease, particularly among the older demographic that’s increasingly at risk. group, there has been a 15% increase every year in new infections. It’s not just a gay disease.

We’re seeing a lot of heterosexuals who are getting this disease.

They find it in nursing homes.

Is there complacency about the disease because it doesn’t make as many headlines as it did in the past?

There is complacency. Back then, when you contracted HIV, it was a death sentence. Then, the drugs started getting better and better. People are living with HIV and AIDS today, but it is not something you want to live with.

Even the drugs that you take have just horrible side effects.

People don’t realize that in 2014, Florida was the No. 1 state in the nation for newly diagnosed HIV cases. During the last three years, in the 50-and-older

How does CAN fight that in Sarasota?

What we try to do through our prevention group is go to these assisted-living facilities and retirement communities and try to get them to use condoms and protection.

How do you explain that increase?

This may sound foolish, but with the rise in use of Cialis and Viagra, the older population is having more sex now than they’ve ever had before. They’re having unprotected sex... All it takes is for one person to be infected and all of a sudden you have a spread in the disease.

Is providing affordable medication a challenge?

Because we’re a nonprofit and because we participate in grant programs through the CDC and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program — which is basically the last resort — if people cannot afford care, we will still take

care of them. Through the Ryan White program we’re actually allowed to participate in a government-assisted pharmaceutical program that allows us to buy drugs at a discounted rate.

We can then take the savings off of those drugs and provide it back to the patient population for free care.

How do life-extending treatments that didn’t previously exist affect the organization’s mission?

nurses who see patients have to be more rounded in the care they deliver now. Instead of just treating the HIV and trying to keep the patient alive, what’s happening is because the disease attacks the immune system, it causes liver issues, cardiac issues, you name it.

It starts affecting all the systems of the body. Our doctors, instead of being infectious disease doctors, have to become like general practitioners. They have to treat all these other secondary issues that arise.

What are some of the challenges that people might not know about AIDS? It’s an amazing disease that has the ability to resurrect itself.

Even when the best drugs are put on the market and people think that a cure is around the corner, this disease mutates and finds a way to survive.

Why did you get involved?

I started serving on the board about five years ago. I stayed involved with the organization after I built this building because Susan Terry, who was director at the time, was a really good friend of mine. Susan had asked me to join the board. I couldn’t do it because I was building a real estate development and construction company... but I did decide about five years ago to join the board.

To do this, you really have your heart in taking care of these people who contract HIV. I’ve always had a passion about that.

I STOLE THE TV 7 a.m. — 1400 block of 18th Street Burglary: A woman reported the theft of a large tube TV from her home. She said the TV was quite old and had a built-in VCR player. She estimated the television was worth $40. Although glass panes in the front door had been shattered, the woman added that the back door was left open, and she thought it was closed earlier. An officer inspected the door and discovered it was off the hinges and appeared as if it had been for some time due to the presence of spider webs.

PAY-OFF 11:35 a.m. — 1500 block of North Washington Boulevard Dispute: The manager of a car wash said a former employee was refusing to leave the property. When officers arrived at the scene, the manager said he did owe the man money but that payday wasn’t until later in the week. The man agreed to leave the property and said he would return on payday to retrieve his paycheck.

HIT & RETURN & RUN 4 p.m. — 800 block of Hudson Avenue Property Damage: A woman loaned her car to a friend so he could run an errand. He returned the car about four hours later, and the woman discovered fresh damage to the

front end of the vehicle that the friend did not mention. There was damage to the bumper and fender, there was paint on her white car and the headlight covers were broken. Without speaking with the man, who could not be reached by phone, the police were unable to start a crash report. An officer issued a be-on-the-lookout notice for hit-and-runs involving the woman’s car.

BAD HUMOR 6:15 p.m. — 3800 block of Greenway Drive Suspicion: A woman reported that a man, whom she had never seen before, pulled up next to her building and began yelling at her. The man told the woman, “I know you have drugs in the car!” and accused her of

RABBIT RUN 6 p.m. — 2000 block of Eighth Street Suspicion: A man left his belongings at another home for the weekend, and when he returned to collect them, they were gone. The person living in the house said “Rabbit” had come by to pick them up earlier that day.

The man said he only knew the person by the nickname “Rabbit” and did not wish to file a theft report.

Sarasota Garden Club awards curb appeal AMANDA MORALES STAFF WRITER

According to the Sarasota Garden Club, taking care of your property and taking care of your customers go hand in hand.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the club’s Civic Beautification Awards, which recognize churches, homeowners associations, businesses, condominiums, nonprofit organizations and government buildings for their efforts to improve Sarasota’s curb appeal.

Every year, club members submit properties that have spruced up their appearance.

The club’s beautification committee reviews the list and photographs locations to determine which ones deserve awards.

The awards mirror the club’s goal of maintaining local green spaces.

Patricia Bonarer, the club’s civic beautification committee chairwoman, says this year, the club chose to recognize properties that have maintained curb appeal over the years and have received at least two previous awards.

“For 80 years, the SGC has worked with our business community to educate, inform, maintain and improve our tree canopy and green spaces,” says Bonarer.

“We care about the people and what they have done with their space.”

This year, the club recognized

32 businesses and organizations, including the Church of the Redeemer, the Marietta Museum of Art and Whimsy, Pines of Sarasota and Nancy’s BBQ. Bonarer says she appreciates the landscaping at Nancy’s BBQ because of its creative use of plants in a downtown area.

“I have taken people who are not gardeners with me, and it’s really funny,” she says. “It’s what appeals to the public. We’re not even looking at it as a gardener.

We’re just looking at it to see how it appeals.”

Properties from North Tamiami Trail to Palmer Ranch and from Lido Key to Interstate-75 are eligible.

Properties can win every two years unless landscaping has been changed significantly in the previous year.

The club will announce special awards at a ceremony Oct. 14, at the Sarasota Garden Club.

St. Armands Circle Association Executive Director Diana Corrigan says she was thrilled to hear that landscaping efforts by the city and the association were recognized.

She says everyone from residents to merchants and the city work together to keep up the Circle, whether it’s for landscaping or just picking up trash while walking the Circle.

“We’re always trying to keep St. Armands the jewel of Sarasota,” says Corrigan.

OCT. 11, 2001 DAMAGE CONTROL

OCT. 7, 1976 ‘LONESOME’ NO MORE The lagoon behind Whispering Sands condominium on Ocean Boulevard was the setting for a story of love and loss in 1976.

It was rumored that Sarah, a royal mute swan, had inhabited the lagoon since 1926 with her first mate. (A lifespan of 50 years is common for that breed of swans.)

Sometime in the 1960s, her mate was killed, possibly with a bow and arrow. She spent the next 10 years flying solo. Resident bird-watchers monitored her migratory patterns until one day she never returned. A search was underway when she was spot-

ted on the lake at Jungle Gardens.

Sarah was returned to her home behind Whispering Sands where a 1-year-old swan named Sam was transported.

Although the pair nested, they never produced hatchlings. Before eggs in the final nest could hatch, Sarah died in the spring of 1976. An autopsy revealed a heart condition.

Wanting to see Sam happy, residents made plans to bring him a friend and possible mate. In June, Suzy, a 6-week-old swan was transported from Chestertown, Md. Sam was thrilled and took the fledgling cygnet under his wing.

The two ruled the lagoon and were expected to live happily every after for 50 more years.

The swans have since been relocated from the lagoon behind Whispering Sands.

FAN FAVORITE Sarasota Crew rower Clark Dean is one of five finalists for the 2015 USRowing Fan’s Choice Junior Athlete of the Year award.

JEN BLANCO SPORTS EDITOR

— Clark Dean is gaining popularity with every click of the mouse.

For the past week, the Sarasota Crew rower’s face has been plastered across social media, as family and friends attempt to give Dean the final push he needs to capture the No. 1 spot.

Dean, a sophomore at Pine View School, is one of five finalists from across the nation vying for the 2015 USRowing Fan’s Choice Junior Athlete of the Year award. Finalists are chosen based on character, rowing accolades and academic excellence, among other criteria.

Dean didn’t even know he was in the running for the award, much less a finalist, until his mother, Paige, called him last week while he was getting ready for Crew practice.

“I was wondering how I got picked,” Dean says. “I was confused. I was like, ‘How did they find out about me?’”

It wasn’t until after he was named a finalist that Dean learned a friend’s mom had nominated him for the award.

Online voting and selection committee input will determine an overall winner by Oct. 22.

Fans can cast one vote each at usrowingfanschoice.securep l a t fo r m .c o m /a /ga l l e r y/ 1 / details/6 until Oct. 19, and the Crew also plans to put a direct link to Dean’s application on its website at sarasotacrew.org.

“It’s really cool,” says Dean. “I never knew the three girls, but the other guy (Danny Hogan), everyone around here knows him. It’s really cool to be put on the same level as him.”

Dean’s rowing career began four years ago, when he attended a Sarasota Crew summer camp.

The sport was gaining popularity among students at his middle school at the time, so Dean decided to give rowing a try.

But his initial experience wasn’t quite what he expected.

“I was confused because I enjoyed putting the boats away with my friends and not the actual rowing,” Dean says.

Now in his third year rowing competitively, Dean has developed a passion for the sport that’s fueled by the friendships he’s developed along the way.

Since joining the Crew, Dean has become one of the program’s top rowers. He earned a spot on the Crew Men’s Varsity 8+, which won the B final at the 2015 USRowing Youth National Championships in June.

Dean went on to compete at

Pine View School sophomore Clark Dean has been rowing with Sarasota Crew for the past four years.

USRowing’s Club Nationals, where he won three gold medals (U17 single, U17 quad and U17 eight) and a silver medal (U19 quad).

Most recently, Dean, along with 12 additional Crew members, traveled to the 133rd Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, where he won gold in both the U17 single and U17 quad races.

“That’s definitely my proudest moment,” says Dean. “Canadian

rowing is generally more competitive, so I was hopeful but very nervous. It ended up being a close race, and we were all just really happy.”

Dean, who is an assistant captain for the Crew, is now preparing for the fall season, which begins with the Sarasota-Bradenton Head Race Oct. 10, at Nathan Benderson Park, followed by the 51st Head of the Charles Oct. 17 and Oct. 18, in Boston.

Republican Women celebrate 65 years

R

ed all over was the unofficial theme of the Republican Women’s Club of Sarasota’s 65th anniversary celebration Friday, at Michael's On East.

Approximately 140 guests were in attendance to toast to the club's success. Collected memorabilia was on display, including a voting booth from the 2000 presidential elections, complete with an unused ballot to commemorate the infamous hanging chads.

The club owes its start to Annamae Sandegren and Helene Morris, who were the driving forces behind starting the club 65 years ago. Current President Peggy Wells thanked the two for starting the club that owes its longevity to the support of elected officials.

"The club has grown to participate locally and nationally," Wells said. "It's great, and we have such a good rapport with government officials."

Local, state and party officials were present for the occasion, including Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and Republican Party of Florida Vice Chairman Joe Gruters. Florida Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, who serves as chairman of the RPOF, was the keynote speaker.

Pioneer Picnic packs Robarts Arena

T

he Rotary Club of Sarasota’s annual Pioneer Picnic began with a performance of the national anthem

by Goodwill Foundation Vice President Veronica Brandon Miller. Rotary Club of Sarasota President Vicente Medina welcomed guests, beginning with a spotlight on the oldest living pioneers in attendance, Bob Parker, 101, and Norma Martin 100.

Many attendees’ families have called Sarasota home for generations, like brother and sister Richard and Patty Bridgman, whose ancestors settled in Englewood in 1894.

This year, the tradition of serving swamp cabbage and hearts of palm continued. Both dishes were served separately from the prepared meal, allowing swamp cabbage fanatics to indulge in the rare delicacy without wasting a morsel.

Memories at The Oaks

NEW PATIENT

The Fine Art of Gentle, Quality Dentistry

ROBERT PLUNKET STAFF WRITER

Marjorie North, it is generally acknowledged, is one of the people who created modern Sarasota.

As the society columnist for the Herald-Tribune for almost 30 years, she wrote about our town’s unique social life — the parties, the gala evenings with visiting celebrities and the millions of dollars raised for worthy causes.

Yet throughout the glamour at the Ritz or Michael’s On East ball-

room, her heart always remained in one place and one place only — her beloved home in The Oaks.

It was here, in her pleasantly cluttered office that she talked on the phone and wrote her column.

And it was here, in the adjacent living room with its traditional furniture and eclectic art on the walls, that she entertained privately. But most of all, it was here that she lived out her 20-year romance with her husband, Bill Hirons.

The exterior of the home — contemporary with classical elements — blends in well with its neighbors in The Oaks, one of the town’s premium golf course communities. But the interior is pure North.

“I’m a collector,” she says, and the proof is everywhere.

Art fills the home, including a pair of prints by famed illustrator Al Hirschfeld. In one bedroom are family photos of past generations — North’s people were pioneers from the Western states.

And most fun of all, in the laundry room are framed cartoon panels, personalized and signed, from all the cartoonists she has worked with and befriended over the years: Mike Peters, Cathy Guisewite, and Chris and Dik Browne, to name a few.

As befits one of the busiest women in town, the home is full of places to work. In addition to her office, Hirons has one at the rear of the house overlooking the greenery of the golf course.

Both offices have built-in desks and copious storage: shelves, cabinets and closets, including one for organizing and wrapping presents.

The living room, with its high ceiling and gas fireplace, is right in the center of the home. The main living spaces radiate from it. There’s a formal dining room with large windows looking out at a vista of picturesque oak trees. In the library, North holds her mahjong parties.

“I lose every week,” she laments.

“Last week, I lost $2.50.”

The home is in transition these days, as is North’s life. Her three daughters are in town, helping her

with an impending move to a condo downtown. She had a run of health problems recently, including a broken shoulder that had ended her beloved tennis games at The Oaks’ courts, just a short walk away. And Hirons, who is 93 and suffering from Alzheimer’s, is now in a nursing home. North visits frequently.

“He is the most precious thing in my life,” she says. “Every time I’m there, he asks me to marry him. I say, ‘Bill, we’ve been married for 20 years!’” She smiles and wipes away a tear.

North’s column defined Sarasota and chronicled its change from a sleepy small town to a glamorous enclave of the rich and important.

Now, her writing continues but in a different vein. She is concentrating on her plays, several of which have been produced at Florida Studio Theatre.

“I was in the world of galas and balls for 30 years,” she says. “Now, I see how nurses and physical therapists live. I see the patients and the caretakers.”

The result is new insight into family dynamics, loss and the power of transformation. With a new life ahead of her, North looks forward to being back in the center of things, to walking to the farmers market Saturdays and attending all the theater she can.

But the transition is bittersweet. In the late afternoon sun, she looks around her living room.

“So many memories,” she sighs.
