Or contact Harriet Phillips at [email protected] or 941 497-6434 From the President: Occasionally, patience is rewarded - sometimes in a big way; sometimes in a small way. And often, a small way can be bigger than you know. On September 30th I got an email from Harrison Fox, who has tirelessly headed up the South Venice Water Quality Task Force for the past 3+ years. He said that, while checking the rain gauges at the site of the Siesta Waterway Rehabilitation Project at the corner of Siesta and Quincy, he “noted three otter swimming toward Alligator Creek”. We’ve got work sessions on the schedule right This is a big deal, and now—October 25 and November 8. at 1:00 pm. something we should be Locations will be anproud of as a community. nounced in advance by My first encounter with email.

President’s Report (continued) to 18” of decayed, oxygen-robbing vegetation under a layer of neon-green algae, exposing the sandy bottom. Within weeks, crabs, small fish and birds had returned; today - otter. Over the next few years, developers have plans to build thousands of new homes between us and I-75. We, as a community, need to do everything we can to make sure that South Venice remains a vibrant, attractive community to homebuyers. This means supporting the Water Quality Task Force as well as the Friends of the Beach; joining the monthly Neighborhood Cleanup and the Waterway Trail Cleanup. Volunteer for a Committee and show up at an SVCA meeting. Bring problems and concerns, but try to suggest a solution or two as well. It is in all of our best interests for each of us to chip in and invest some time, some money and some sweat in this community. Change takes time, it takes patience, and it takes effort but in the long run it is, and will be, worth it - from all of us. Just ask the otters. South Venice Waterways pilot program moves forward with County’s help By LARAINE JANSEN On Friday, September 5, volunteers working with Sarasota County staff, completed a critical step in the pilot program that may ultimately restore natural life and flora to Siesta Waterway. when they hydro-seeded the sloping bank along Siesta Drive. The County hopes to expand the process to more waterways throughout South Venice. Before the seeding began, the group planted two 100-foot lengths and a swale along Siesta Drive with native plants. The day before, County workers prepared the site with their "chain mixer" which combined mulch and dirt and other organic material together. Thanks to all involved -- Rob Wright, John Ryan, Molly Williams, Ben Quartermaine, and Kelly Westover. Page 2 International Coastal Clean-Up Day at beach and ferry By LARAINE JANSEN On Saturday, September 20, 2014, local volunteers joined area Boy Scouts and participated in the International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by Keep Sarasota County Beautiful. Throughout the United States, and other countries as well, volunteers cleaned up their coastal areas. Most notable in South Venice were the Boy Scouts led by Brett Thomas, Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 26 and Committee for Venture Crew 26, and a South Venice resident. Brett was joined by adult leaders Joe Schemenauer, Brian Cronin, John Carter and Pam Bargdill. Black Water/Blue Water Tours brought a trailer of kayaks. The Friends of the Beach made lunch for the volunteers when they returned from their cleanup. The Friends of the Beach rock!!! (More from Cherry on page 4.) In spite of the rainy weather, eight scouts, two non-scout youth and five leaders were joined by six volunteers from the Friends of the Beach. They cleaned 2.5 miles of shoreline. Here is what they found: In all they collected 493 pounds of trash to make a total of 1,312 pounds they collected in their two clean up efforts this year—in April and September. Frankly, there are no words to describe people who litter our precious water and land. Without these hard working, conscientious volunteers, all that TRASH would still be floating in the water and along the endangered mangroves at the shoreline. In addition, the hazard to the critters is unconscionable. Thank you to everyone who participated in this important event. We don’t inherit the earth from our parents; we borrow it from our children. Here’s just some of what was collected 34 plastic containers 11 foam containers 112 bottle caps 15 plastic lids 10 straws 153 plastic bottles 24 glass bottles 84 aluminum cans 10 plastic pieces 2 red solo cups 16 fishing related items 15 yards fishing line 18 yards rope 1 mylar balloon 3 foam packaging 25 plastic containers 11 cigarette lighters 29 pieces of wood 1 telephone pole 95 pieces of foam 80 pieces of glass 661 pieces of plastic 13 shoes/ flip flops 24 tennis/dodge balls 1 battery 1 beach chair 1 door mat 1 roadway reflector 9 articles of clothing And unidentifiable junk! What we’re reading South Venice Book Club By GAIL PARKER Just formed last Spring, the South Venice Book Club now meets monthly at the Civic Association the Fourth Tuesday of the month from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. We’ve been on hiatus since May, now but we’re ready to get going for another season! Our first meeting will be Tuesday, November 11 at the SVCA at 3:00pm. We’ll be discussing the book we’re currently reading—One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Tropper—and choose titles for our next few months’ reading. Everyone is welcome to join us; hope to see you there! Page 3 While you were away . . By CHERRY GIOVINAZZO FOB Chair and Beach Trust Liaison Thank you to the eight Friends for pitching in and providing lunch to our local Boy Scouts who cleaned up the Ferry area as part of the International News from: Coastal Clean Up Day on September 20. (See Laraine Jansen’s report with photos on page XX). I would like to thank the FOB members who donated their personal funds and time to serve a well deserved LUNCH to our the Scouts. Thanks to Bob and Donna Pietras, Harriet and Doyle Phillips, Betty Ann and John Rigg, Rebecca Star and Joan Giovinazzo. By the way, the Troops ate three to four Hot Dogs each—they sure earned them! We served up 72 Hot Dogs along with Potato Chips and Cold Water to 27 Scouts. Thanks to all. Friends of the Beach WELCOME BACK to our returning members and homeowners from the North, East and West! We are proud to report the following WORK DETAILS have been completed over the summer by the FOB: NEW PLANT BED NEAR the new FERRY BENCH AREA (below left): Thanks to Luanne Rhoten, President of the SV Garden Club and her husband Bart for their help with the planting of this new area and installing boulders that were found nearby. Luanne has deemed our plantings around the Ferry House area all "Florida Friendly”. Luanne also donated several plants for this area. MULCHING OVERPARK AREA (right): Several FOB women completed this job: thanks to Valerie Kelley, Connie Donovan, Susan Juranek. And a big thank you to our faithful “H2O girl" Harriet Phillips for keeping us hydrated. CEMENT CURBING AROUND PLANT BEDS IN FRONT OF FERRY HOUSE (below left): The FOB contracted Curb Effects out of Port Charlotte to install decorative cement curbing entirely around the plant beds in front of the Ferry House. We also laid down more mulching. The curbing will help keep the mulch in the flower bed and keep the bed moist. Please take the time when you are at the Ferry House and take a look! It’s gorgeous. STONES PLACED IN THE FRONT OF THE FERRY HOUSE DOORWAY: This area of stones were donated by Chuck and Merle Yalowitz—thank you guys! The Yalowitz's are new full time residents who moved here from Tennessee. They say they love living in Paradise. (Chuck was also the member who built the new BULLETIN BOARD at the Ferry House.) "HIT THE BRICKS" BEAUTIFICATION CAMPAIGN (Update): Betty Ann Rigg, Chair of the Campaign reports we have sold nine more Bricks; we must hold up the order until we have a total of 30 before the Engravers do them. Forms are in a plastic box attached to the chain link fence in the front of the Ferry House. Another box is on the beach side attached to the Left side railing. They’re also in the office at the SVCA. Please consider purchasing a brick so we can keep improving the ferry property. Thanks! The FOB have more Projects planned for next month; we’ll keep you updated.

As Karen and I were walking into the party my fellow Rotarian introduced me to his guest. Identifying me as the “hearing guy.” I never heard anyone actually call me that and I am really ok with that title. His guest owned up that she needed hearing aids but when she tried them she could hear herself chew and it was unpleasant. She even told the other man about her discomfort. He said she would get used to it. Karen heard her and reassured her that no she doesn’t have to get used to it. When wearing a new technology level or hearing aids for the �irst time, your brain can be startled by sounds it hasn't heard for a long time (birds chirping) or sounds that are unusual (whir of computer fan). These type of sounds will not always startle your brain. Hearing yourself chew is not a sound that is new to your brain. This is a program adjustment that is needed. I’ve kept in my of�ice a can of nuts for years to allow anyone with this complaint to actually eat while programming to ensure their comfort at all times during their lifestyle. And as we can see, eating is one of my favorite lifestyle moments. It really saddened me that a business owner didn’t look for a solution. Programming is blending your hearing loss with what you love to spend time doing, your best lifestyle. I’ve met people who love playing bridge, �ishing, boating (which is different), tennis, golf and guns. Each of these activities has a very different priority for hearing and then blend in each individual’s loss to ensure they are experiencing the best they can for their lifestyle, that is proper programming.

It’s full of delightful reminiscences by those ‘who were there’ in the earliest days of South Venice, stories of the early families and of what life was like . Here are a few excerpts from the book: 1955—Early settlers decided they needed to devise some form of self government. On New Years’ Eve a group met at the Suncoast Trailer Motel. (At the time, there were only 125 permanent year-round families in South Venice.) In January 1956, 120 residents met at the Englewood Women’s Club and reviewed proposed by-laws after which they voted to create the South Venice Civic Association and immediately elected its first Board of Governors.

And indeed they did it, with donations and sweat equity; the SVCA building was dedicated in December of 1959. 1967– The new ferry, the Miss South Venice, arrived and it was placed at G&G’s Garage on the Trail for all to see. It was built at the Venice Airport by a former Navy Commander who as then president of the SVCA and G’s husband whom, you recall, was in the metal fabrication business. Gene salvages parts from the circus RR cars and made the ferry seats. A 6 HP engine was installed and the boat boarding ramp was built by the Navy Commander in his back yard. He built it well. 1972- the SVCA banded together and defeated a developer’s plan to construct a condominium project along Alligator Creek. Did you know? You can rent the SVCA!
