If the winds and waves. hold off just a few more weeks, the inhabitants of the Privateer Condominiums, North and South, will breathe a lot easier.

No Agreement Last year about this time, a mild storm and high tides

breached their retaining wall , and started [Q break it apart. First aid was applied to the wall, and negotiations were started to build a stronger wall. But the corpora­tions representing North and South cou ld not agree on the solution, some emotions ran high and when agree­ment was finally reached. the abuttors 10 the Privateer, who wou ld be affected by whatever type of wall was erected, objected. The abuttors in this case are the two major builders on the Key, Arvida and Bennet Hunt.

The Economy Take your pick of one of these age-old overworked

cliches, or if you prefer to choose both, y~U can do so, for they are explicit. "The cure (recession) is worse than the disease" (inflation) or "The doctor (Federal Reserve Board Chairman Volcker) prescribed the right medicine (high interest rates) but the patient (the U.S . economy) died. "

It perhaps is presumptuous of one untrained and un­tUlOred in the science of economics to venture an opin­ion and, even more so, to suggest a solution. However, when one is confronted each day by diametric opinions emanating from the mouths of supposedly skilled economists, the opinion is not so amateurish.

I must confess thai I never had much love or admiration for President Franklin Roosevelt, but in re­trospeci I fi nd Ihal in many r~pects I was very wrong. One measure that RooseveJl took was to fix the price of gold at $32 an ounce. Thai edict should not have been reversed, for having done so, it created part of the problem with which the economy is faced. The rush to buy gold severely depleted the supply of money, and hence the supply of credit, but the free market in gold was not the only source of trouble . It was silver, an­tiques and an . The savi ngs that could have helped the economy are stored in the cellars, scattered in the attics and located in the vaults of banks and, what is worse, many of those who thought they were protecting them­selves against the rampant inflation now find supposed inflation hedges do not command the same equity that they did at time of purchase. The Hunt's example is best.

In the early '70s President Nixon was practically forced by the Congress 10 impose wage and price con­trols. Now most everyone has been brainwashed into be­lieving that such cont rols just do not work. They do not work over an extended period of ti me but as a

A REPORT TO THE PEOPLE FROM STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Ted Ewing

Florida Representative District #14 2002 Ringling Blvd. Sarasota. Florida 33511

Business Inventories And Livestock Taxes Amendment five, that will appear on the October 7th

ballot, proposes to do away with the present tax on busi­ness inventories and livestock.

The business inventory tax is a very unfair and dis­crimi natory one. Businessmen are now taxed on such things as retail store inventories and raw materials for manufactoring companies. Forty-two states have done away with inventory taxes and Florida should also. •

Dear Editor: An article on Page 4 in your September 8th edition in­

dicates that the lower end of Longboat Key may get spoil from a future dredging of New Pass, so why not? It left Longboat due to a phenomenom that authorities continue to ignore. Because of publicity and pictures lately, one would think that some laymen would begin to see solutions to erosion woes in that, and other areas. . Erosion, in the vicinity o f bridges, causeways and Island ends is an everpresent problem. Its symptoms are quite apparent but answers are not sought very diligent­ly, I ask why?

We see dredging operations that return the sediment to the bea~hes and swash channels whence it came, but no effort IS put forth to prevent it from leavi ng the beaches where it should stay. It is considered a proper technique to narrow the inlets and it becomes a Venturi when tides run fast, in or out ...

To prevent erosion on the lower pan of Longboat a st~aight revetment in front of Sands Point merging into a Jetty that would have a Gulfward end angling upbeach c0l!ld have many benefits for boaters, fishermen and SWimmers, as the swash channel would disappear and naturally nourished sloping beach would soon be developing, capable of withstanding almost any wave that a storm could drive at Longboat Key.

For example, Bal Harbour's overcurved massive jeuy already protecting Miami Beach before the multi­million dollar beach nourishment was started and the Jett y is now preventing precious sa nd from being drawn IOto Bakers Haulover. Another curved jellY has done a wonderful job at Clearwater's Sand Key, and I believe that New Pass needs a curved jellY as well.

P.ers~an Gult Investment Opportunities The flght.lOg between Iran and Iraq has once again fo­

~used .t~e ~lOancial world's attention on the dangerous IOstabllity 10 the Persian Gulf. .

The Persi:'ln Gulf is no stranger to these c~umns be­cause m?st mvestors have become acutely.;t pe of the dangers It poses to the West's e<:onomies ami markets and thus, to their investments. The present conflic~ serves as another vivid reminder of the imperative need to develop other more stable, energy sources. And it answers a question asked about a recent column-What has Australia got to do with Wall St reet? ~

The answer, of course, is that investors have been an­ticipating with their money that the development of the vast resources in Australia will be accelerated as the West struggles to get out from under the threat of a sud­den, crippling interruption of the Middle Eastern oil flow.

Since the fall and flight of the Shah the West's influenc~ in t?; Persian ~ulf and t.he stability created by the Shah s mlhtary machme has disappeared. The disin­tegration of the Iranian armed forces through lack of spare parts for their American-built equipment and the nation's internal political turmoil made it only a quest ion of t~me before Iraq would feel strong enough to move agamst Iran. The Iraqis are moving to settle some old scores, of course, but their uhimate goal is to become the dominant and controlling nation in the Gulf.

Much has been made in the press this week of the long-simmering dispute between the two nations over the Shatto ~-Arab waterway. This is the eSlUary formed by the ~Igr.ls and Euphrates rivers. Once controlled ~y ~he IraqiS, 10 1975 the Shah pressured them into agree­mg. to a .ne:-v border down the middle of the waterway, ~hlch ehmmated lraqi control over the access to Iran 's Important ports at Abadan and Khurramshar .

Regaining control of the waterway is one of the Iraqi ~ims, bu.t there is ~ore, .much more. And because Iraq IS essentially a Soviet chent, the rest of their aims are ominous. (Continued on Page 19)

Report From """

ANDY IRELAND 8th District Congressman· Florida

On September 19, 1980, the President signed into law S. 299, the Regulatory Flexibility Act. I originally intro­duced this concept in the House of Representatives in 1978. After three years of hearings, meetings, and nego­tiations, we have reached a compromise which is S. 29~

I was honored to make the following remarks at the White House when the Bill was signed into law:

'.'Mr. President, distinguished members of Congress, ladles and gentlemen, it is so nice to see a dream come true. When I introduced the concept of regulatory flexib i.lity for small business in the House in 1978, I knew It would be a long st ruggle to see it enz.cted. With the help of the fr iends of America's small businesses, most of whom are here today, that becomes a reality.

We have th rown a regulatory lifeline to the millions of small businesses, organizations, and small govern­mental units which have been slowly sink ing under an ocean of federal regulation and paperwork. President Carter put us on the right road last year when he intro­duced an executive memorandum encouraging the use o f regulatory flexibi li ty. Now we have all joined together and have put it into the law of the land.

E.R.A. And Me I have listened to all sides in the matter of E.R.A.,

i.e .• complete equality of women with men, and I have come to the conclusion that I am not only a confirmed E.R.A.ist, but for good Methodist measure I want to add one, which will make all women happy and which men won't want. I not only think that women should have the right to bear arms, and fight in all our wars, and in keeping with the American pattern of giving rights and retroactively rewarding the one discriminated against , I think only women should fight in all the wars that America is engaged in for the next 200 years, and that all living soldiery of past wars be compensated for time spent defending this country while women stayed at home and did nothing but rivet some guns togeth~r and keep kids fed and clothed and shod with their ration books. Also, women should work on any job that man has customarily been performing. I shall work for.:a rewriting of the American document by some P'\aJe chauvinist and make it say "all persons" are born equaL _

Then when all these rights are grante~ want to ad'd one more for women, the one for M·;:'·d,.Aist measure that I mentioned. I want every female to have the right to reject all or any of these rights and to live in the tradition of womanhood if she wants to, to be a stick-in­the-mud housewife, have doors opened for her, cloaks flung in puddles for her to walk on. In summary, give the female every right the male has plus the right to reject them all and not be littered at or discriminated against for doing so. •

Commissioner Ochs ..... (Continued Irom Page 1)

On the surface, the plan had some merit, and the DOT's District Engineer Monts de Oca said that "serious considerat ion is being given to the proposed change in route, " according to an article in the October issue of the AAA Florjda Explorer, the official publica­tion of the Peninsular Motor Club.

A Violation Of Law? At the City Commission meeting, at which Ron

Norman. Fred Soto and Rita Roeh r were present, Longbo' ) l<ey Commissioner Sid Ochs requested per· miss ion~~~peak. He was told politely but firmly that it would be a violation of state law to permit him to spea k. Whereupon Ochs said that apparently the Longboat Key Commission is in violation of the law, since they permit the public to speak and the press to ask questions ':1 the designated place on the agenda, usually just before adjournment.

"No", said Norman and Soto, "this is not allowed at our meetings. You should have asked to have been placed on the agenda ." Ochs replied that he had just been told of the meeting. had not been notified, and wished to add ress a matter of interest to Longboat Key resident s as it pertained to the re-routing of traffic across 10th Street.

Connector Road To Lo'ngboat? The prohibition to speak was not relaxed and Ochs

did not address any issue. Bul it was later discovered that the new route, in the mind of Commissioner Ochs and also in the mind of R. Wayne Emery of the AAA, would be the logical connector to the proposed main· land bridge to Longboat Key, tentatively located on paper on the southern end of the key.

Study Other Locations Also Ochs steadfastly maintains that any bridge to the

mainland from Longboat Key should not necessarily be built on the southern end of the Key and that any ):,roposed connector road should be studied before any bond issue is allowed. Commissioner Claire Bell of Longboat Key, the current representative on SMATS, feels a study of all possible locat ions should be made before assuming it would be located on the south ern end o f the Key.

Courtesy Not Extended Her predecessor on SMATS, Commissioner Sam

Seegel, feels the same way, but it was Commissioner Ochs who went to the city meeting and was told he could nOl speak . Usually, most Commissioners of neighboring cities and counties permit visiting commissioners to speak as a couriesy, but nol the City of Sarasota. They were adamant about no one speaking publicly at any lime or in their words " it would be a violation of law, " according to Ochs.

Minuses Outweighed Pluses In any case, Emery of the AAA felt the "minuses" of

the proposed project far outweighed the pluses and he strongly opposed il. "The public would not get its money's worth (six million dollar bond issue) with this project. It is not needed at this ti me and is designated to benefit only a few;" the local AAA Manager of the Peni nsular Motor Club told the Explorer. " The majority of citizens do not believe this is the logical place fo r a third bridge to the (!...ongboat) Key. If one is needed, it shou ld ~ mid·key. they believe." .'-" --

Public And Press Must Be Silent Whi ch is what Commissioner Ochs would have said if

he had been permitted to speak. But unlike the meetings ?n Longboat Key, no one is permitted to speak unless he IS on the agenda, and the press is never allowed to ask questions publicly at a regular meeting. The Longboat vO.ter much prefers the Longboat Key system and so, eVidently do the Commissioners , the public and the press.

The majority of Longboat Key Commissioners feel that a st udy should be made by the DOT of all possible locations for the proposed bridge to the mainland and not just limit it to the southern end . Some have told the Observer that they resent the Ci ty and County of Sara­sota working di rectl y wit h the DOT in an attempt to "go around" Longboat Key to get a bridge placed where they want it. Today's action by the Ci ty Commissioners adds fuel to what may become a 'flame of anger in the months ahead. •

Privateer Sea Wall ....... (Continued from Page 1)

Arvida had allegedly opposed any reconstruction of the existing Privateer wall as not a solution to the prob· lem. The law Slates that abullors may object to sea wall construction if they feel their shore line would be affec· ted. Arvida and the Pri vateer were at an impasse.

Agreement Very Close Monday afternoon, Arvida 's Bill Drury hosted a

meeting of the representatives of Privateer North and South, which was attended by the marine engineering consultants of Arvida and the condominiums. The end result was almost complete agreement as to the type of wall to be constructed. The lawyers and engineers are getting together this week to draw up the papers that have been tentatively approved by all parties.

Sloping Sea Wall The solution that is close to being agreed upon, would

be a slopi ng seawall , similar to the one at the West· chester Condominium. It would be about 20 feet land· ward of the present wall and rocks would be placed at the toe of the sloping wall just beh ind the existing wall. When it is cpmpleted" the existing wall will be torn down and the sea will then have a sloping incline to go up in· stead of a solid wall that many felt caused erosion on either side of the wall.

Dr. Kell y Brock, represented Arvida and David Tack· ney of Naples advised the Privateer condominiums in terms of marine engineering and prevention of erosion. Next step, signing the papers, and getting on with the job. If the weather holds up and the sea wall does also, a lot of people at the Privateer will feel that a nightmare is almost over .

tary of the Beach Owners Association said that , in the

and representatives from Sa nds Point (Karl Peterson and Jessie Koenig), Longboat Towers (Harry Weiss) Privateer North (Bill Garten) and Privateer South (Richard Finkle). David Tackney of Sub·Oceanic Consul tants was also present, as was Charles O'Quinn of Smalley. Wellford and Nalvin, Town Engineers.

A view of the Privateer sea wall last lall.

Erosion Control Line The gist of the meet ing concerned the motion by the

BOA to ask the Town to establi sh an erosion control line the ent ire lengt h of Longboat Key. Such a line is established only with the permission of the owner and is surveyed. It usually coincides with the mean high water mark, but in times of erosion or accretion, it then does not. The advamage to the owner is that he owns Ihe land down to the erosion control line and in times of erosion, he may fill in the sand to replace what has been eroded. In ti mes of accretion, however . the beach on the other side of the line belongs to the slate and not to him.

The Board passed the motion unanimously and Comm issioner Bell will take the message back to the fu ll Commission for consideration. If passed by the board, the creation of the erosion control line wi ll be implemented, enabling the Army Corps of Engineers to dump some of the fit! along 2000 fee t of beach on the south end of Longboat Key.

Don't Dredge? At the BOA meet ing, new board member Mike

Hodges felt that no action should be taken until the BOA goes on record as opposing any and all dredging until a more permanent solution to the disposal of filJ is established.

Private Funding Later in the meeting, the possibility of private

funding for beach nourishment was discussed . Mr. O'Quinn esti mated that it would cost about $385,000 to have the sand put on the beaches, but that it should be paid for, in his opinion , according to who owned the most fronl feet on the Gu lf. This would be Arv ida, but no one is about to consider paying for sa nd from New Pass if it ca n be received free.

Next Meeting The BOA announced their next meeting would be on

Oct. 14th at the Coast Federal Meeting Room at 8 p.m . The speakers will be Col. Charles Furbee, Executive Director o f the West Coast Inland Navigation Dist rict, and Jud Harvey. who will give an IIp·date on his Beach Erosion Study of Longboat Key. •

General Graham Warns Of Military Weakness

There was more retired military brass at the Longboat Holiday Inn last Thursday than the Key has likely ever seen. The occasion was the visit to the area of Retired Army Lt. General Dan Graham, who is also the co· chairman of the Coalition of Peace through Strength, and a pasl director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

General Graham, who was introduced by Bob Dowd, a retired Naval Officer who worked with the General in the Defense Intelligence Agency a few years ago, addressed a group of interested Floridians on the lack of preparedness of the U.S. and the reasons for it.

Surprise Entrance The luncheon was running a bit late as the 200 people

awaited the arrival of the intelligence expert, but Dowd decided to stan anyway, knowing, as no one else did. that the General had missed a connection at Atlanta and would not arrive, he was told, until 2:30 p.m. Just as Dowd was making apologies and introducing the newly formed panel of experts he was about to question. in walked the General. having caught another plane. Graham then verbally chided Frank Bohrman of Eastern Airlines for not "earning his wings" that day. thanked Bob Dowd whose "abrasiveness" while he served with the General was noticed only be those who disagreed with him. and kidded Father Edward Pick who gave the blessing.

"Sell-Out City" The short , vibrant, humorous General was as adept at

cracking one-liners ("1 just left Washington, D.C. , which we all know as "Sell-Out City.") as he was at criticizing President Carter and the mentality of ap­peasement.

1930 Mentality . The levit behind him, General Graham launched

O,n".' Olllh,m into an attack on what he termed serious mistakes in the policies of the country. starting . with the 19305 when many people thought Hitler's request for "parity" was justilied, and then excused his military build-up because of "powers to the east."

After WW II. when the U.S. was the strongest mili­tary power in the world. we had more friends. Then, he said, came the McNamara years of cost analysis and the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction or MAD, accord­ing to Graham. This philosophy assumed neither side would start a war since both sides would be destroyed. but Graham claimed Russia was building up weapons to make sure they would win a nuclear war. "We had a 20 year advantage on the Russians. II he said, "but we traded it away to get the SALT (Strategic Arms limita­tions Treaty) under way ." Nowadays, he claims, "there is no strategy in the Pentagon. McNa!"ara killed it all."

suggested the MAS idea, or 'Mutual Assured Survival, which would entail a U.S. sattelite in orbit aimed at all Russian installations which would detonate their missiles before they had gained altitude. This will take millions of dollars and must be accompanied by beefing up every unit of our military, h~ warned the audience and "I'm not talking about a liberal or a conservative policy, just one that will work."

"Oove Shoot" What General Graham recommends is the "greatest

dove shoot" in American history so that we-·can once again be the greatest military po~er in the;" ) Id, .and thereby assure peace. His Coalition of PeaC'e~ Through Strength is hoping for voter activism to turn out those whose voting record against defense spending has been so poor . The organization has a voter index on how each congressman voted so that voters may know th~ records in congress, and this year they rated President Carter . "He got an 8 070 out of 100% which puts him just a little ahead of George McGovern. " Dowd mentioned at ~he close that the Peace Through Strength organization is not political and pointed out the superi­or voting record of Representative Andy Ireland. a Democrat.

3 Appearances After the Holiday Inn talk, General Graham spoke at

the Navy League meeting at the Crown House and the next day, at the Association of Former Intelligence Officers held at Pete Reynards. Bob Dowd is president of the Sun Coast Chapter, and Col. Gerald Davis, Ret . , from Ft. Myers, is the State president.

Running through each talk was the theme that the U.S. is currently dealing from weakness and not strength, and that the voters should "shoot down" all the "doves" come November, especially the President. Graham did not once mention Ronald Reagan's name but the similarity of philosophies is apparent.

Board, told of three problems which the Board found very disturbing, but about which they cou ld do nothing.

One, he said, was the problem of whether or not there should be a resort hotel there at all, but permission had already been given. Another was the massive bulk of the buildings, but the land intensity schedule had already been approved. And the third was the violation of the coastal setback, but most Commissioners fe lt that the variance had already been granted.

Generli Edmu ndson gave Arvida high marks for its efforts to change its plans in accordance with the Planning and Zoning Board's objections. They had. he said. improved the appearance of Longboat Key Club ~oad. changed the parking 10( to an attractive one of v ine-covered trellises, and had relocated its southern­most building away from the Sands Bay Condominiums (formerly Sands Point.)

Arvida had also agreed to change its 12 and 14-foot setbacks along the edge of the lagoon to 20-foot set­backs at the request of the P&Z Board.

Oppose Setback Variance The 20-foot setbacks touched off a new hassle:. Sands

Bay auorney John Griffis noted that the Town code called for 3D-ft. setbacks on the Bay and 50 ft. se:tbacks on passes.

Com missioners Clai re Bell, Sam Seegel and Al Lewin joined in, spea king against the 20 ft. setback.

Edmundson explained that they had asked for 20 feet because there was no way that Arvida cou ld get its proposed waterfront units in the designated space with any more of a setback.

Sands Point resident Arthur Koenig agreed that any further setback would crowd Sands Point Road, but said the problem was caused by the density's being too ~igh.

"We don't feel thai variances shou ld be granted so that the deve:loper can get his maximum units in," he: commented.

noticed Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lezotte of Longboat Key holding o nto their raft and drifting about 200 yards off-shore. A woman at the scene: called the: Longboat Ke:y Rescue Squad.

Coas t Guard Ca ll e d Upon arrival, the Rescue Squad realized their boat

could not be launched due to heavy seas. They immed iately called in the Coast Guard.

Meanwhi le, 29-year-old James Burroughs of Holmes Beach stood watching. Willis French o f Fox St. offered his raft. Carrying the raft, J im walked through the surf as far as he could. He then started paddling and swi mming. At one point he lost sight of the Lezottes but he continued on, finally spoiled them and swam 10 their side.

"Both were calm," he said. "but tired. They thought they had been out there about an hour."

Raft Tips Mr. Lezotte, suffer in g from leg cramps and

exhaustion. appeared to need his help the most. They

decided to transfer him to Jims' raft. Twice they tipped over. Jim grasped the mans' arms 10 sleady him and the third try was successful. They tried to keep together while they waited for help.

Help Arrives The Coast Guard arrived and attached a line to the

raft. Jim stayed with Mr. Lezotte until he and his wife were safely ashore. The Longboat Rescue Squad admin­istered aid to the couple and transported them to their home.

Tayloe Tidman of Gulf of Mexico Dr. and her two guests watched the drama through binoculars. " It was the bravest thing I ever :;cw." she said. "That young man could have drowned out there. We told him how pr.oud we were of him , that he was a real hero. He seemed a bit embarassed."

But this is not the end of the Slory.

Four Bullet Fragments Jim is recovering from a gunshot wound. He has fou r

bullet fragments' still lodged in his shoulder and was on the beach recuperating.

One evening this past July, Jim had finished work at the Clock Restaurant in Palmetto, where he was assis­tant manager. Before going home, he decided to stop at a local bar. Unk nown to anyone in the establishment, a woman customer was carryi ng a 357 magnum revolver in her pocketbook. It was loaded. It went off through her purse and st ruck Jim in his right shoulder. The 'in nocent bystander' became a casualty. He spent several weeks in the hospita l but they were unable to remove all the bullet fragments until the wound had healed. The day after the rescue the doctor was to remove the fi rst.

When asked if he hadn't worried about his arm when he was asked to help, he answered. " I didn't think of it at the time, but it began to bother me a little after I'd been swimming a while."

" Kind Of Nice" Although bei ng called a hero embarrassed Jim. he

thought and said. "it is kind of nice for people to think of us younger ones as heroes rather than as problems."

We quite agree. •

Resor:! Hotel ............ (Continued trom Page 5) Bids From Now On General Graham .. .•.. . .. (Continued from Page 4)

A Russian Victory? Mincing no words, he claimed that the Russians have

spent two billion dollars in civilian defense while the U.S. has spent less than one million, that a Russian attack would kill about 140 million Americans while our counter·attack would kill about IO millilln Russians "clearly a Russian victory," said Graham. •

setback, saying it was similar to some beautifu l spOts in Europe. But, when polled by Mayor Ken McCall, the Commission was split down the midd le. Bell. Seegel and Lewin opposed it; Sid Ochs. Russ Fernald and McCall thought it was all right. Commissioner Tac Riter was absent. So that's the way it will stay until the site plan comes up for officia l approva l at a regula r Commissioners meeting.

Aligire also suggested that the new contract provide for a 9O-day cancellation clause. v.:hich wou ld allow for a competitive service to be considered each year when the rates were opened for negotiation.

Sam Seegel thought that from now on it should be mandatory to put the franchise out for bids, advertising it as they do ot her biddab le items . The other Commissioners agreed.

Russia Backing Iraq After ..... ·~s minute talk, Graham answered questions

for abovother 30 minutes. The Iraq-Iran war, he said. was taking place with an "understanding" with Russia, and he predicted it would Stop when Iraq gained the territory it wanted. He called the Ayatollah "com:' pletely crazy" and "Hitler in a turban" and said our 16stages will very likely be executed by the Iranians or returned to us by the Russians.

Who Will Collect Garbage?

So it was agreed to award the franchise to Cedar Hamm ock, with negotiations con tinu ing to work out a new contract that is suitable to everyone.

When it came time to discuss who wou ld get the new garbage collect ion franchise. the Commissioners did a lot of fancy verbal footwork.

Drury Named United Way Director

•

Allgire. at a conference in N.Y. state, had left a memo explaining that the Town had been in negotiation with its present contractor since last March or April. Since the other contractor (Active Disposal) didn't make his proposal until August and couldn't provide service for 60-90 days, the Town would have to assume that there wou ld be.a 60·90 day interru ption of service. he said. if the contract went to Active Disposal.

Harry Schall, Presid:r.t of the United W~y of Sara· ' sOIa County, announced today the appointment of William J. Drury as a Director of the Sarasota County United Way.

Top Secret "leak" He felt President Carter had given away a ten year

lead to the Russians by leaking the story of the "stealth" aircraft, heretofore top-secret, and a weapon that Graham said he wouldn't even mention to his deputy.

On the subject of China, General Graham, a West Point graduate of 1946, said that we should not have "sold out" Taiwan and that mainland China is becom­ing friendly to us only because they are so afraid of the Russians.

Somoza He talked about General Somoza of Nicaragua and

mentioned that he was a classmate of his at West Point. "He may be a rascal" but not an oppressive dictator, ,s\;id Graham. and "a lot better than the Caner·backed Communist Sandinistas." The same lack of foreign policy may descend on Israel. he said .

The audience obviously agreed with General Graham and were exhorted by him to join the Coalition of Peace Through Strength and make their vote count in November.

On the dias with General Graham, Robert Dowd and Father Edward Pick were Dr. Robert Barylski of the University of South Florida in Sarasota. a Soviet expert; Retired Air Force Lt. General James Edmundson. forme rly vice commander of the US Pacific Air Force and deputy Commander in Chief. US Readiness Command; Retired Army Lt. General Rolland Heiser, and formerly Chief of Staff to NATO European Military Commander, General Haig and now president of the New College Foundation. Universi ty of South Florida. •

A Conversation With Richard Hopkins And Lach Adair, Part I

The founder of Sarasota's Florida Studio Theatre, John Spelman, is on sabbatical this year. But since the show must go on, Richard Hopkins and Lach Adair have been hired to take over the roles of artistic director and managing director respectively.

Although both Hopkins and Adair are in their early thirties, each has had a rich and varied professional car­eer in theater and theater management. Richard Hop­kins spent three seasons as one of the Asolo's resident actors, and has taught, acted and directed at a number of theaters. In 1974 he founded the Palisades Theatre Company in St. Petersburg where he served as the artis­tic director and producer for six years.

Lach Adair met Hopkins at Virginia Commonwealth University and they have worked together from time to time over the last ten years. Lach has done everything from working as a carpenter to director in various thea­ter companies. For the last three years, Adair has worked in various capacities at the Palisades with Hop­kins.

The new management is bringing with them new ideas and they are therefore taking FST in a slightly different direction from that of previous years.

We talked about the company's upcoming season on the theater's large screened-in porch. Joining in the con­versation is Alison Logan, FST's publicity director.

Kevin Dean- How long has the theatre been in opera-tion?

Richard Hopkins-This will be the eighth season. K.D.-Could you tell us something about its history? R.H.-Jon Spelman started it in the early fall of

1973. FST was primarily a touring theater then. It took avante-garde plays to people who normally didn't go to the theater, and ended up playing a lot of prisons, senior citizen homes, junior high schools, high schools, and colleges.

The main focus at that time was on newly created work-company-developed pieces. They were often' im­provisational plays that were created by the actors and the director.

K.D.-How long have you been in this bu ilding? Alison Logan-This will be the fourth season here. Lach Adair- The building is actually rented to us by

the McKennons. They have been great supporters of FST, both financially and in spirit. So our rent is very reasonable and they offset it in the money they give us in the form of a grant.

K.D.-This used to be the Girls' Club or something like that, wasn't it?

L.A.-It was the Woman's Club. When FST took it over, they tried to restore it to its original appearance as much as possible. They wanted to use it as a Sarasota landmark, not so much because the architecture is unique, but because it is typical of Florida architecture of its period, with the large porch and so on.

K.D.-Have you changed the physical space of the auditorium itself during the summer?

L.A.-No, there wasn't time to change anything for the coming season.

R.H.-From what it was originally, the theater has undergone considerable changes. The seating was pul up over where the stage was, and the stage is where the seating had been. It seats around 75 people now.

K.D.-What was the reason for such drastic altera­tions?

R.H.-To get better sight lines, a fuller theatrical per­formance and a good hardwood noor to work on.

K.D.-So that's the reason a raised stage hasn't been built, you want to use the noor?

R.H.-Yeah. That's a good hardwood noor in there and they are hard to come by.

K.O.-How is the Florida Studio Theatre funded? L.A.-Our major source is the federal grants we re­

ceive from the National Endowment for the Arts and state money from the Fine Arts Council of Florida.

They supply tbe bulk of our income. We generate about $10,000 a year from ticket sales and probably an­other S15,OOO during a good booking year. We also have a lot of community support.

K.O.-How many months Oul of the year are spent touring and how many in residence? T ~ 'T'L' _______ ... _ ... :11 .. _____ : __ __ T __ .. _ _ •• ..,..,

Lach Adair and Richard Hopkins of the Florida Studio Theatre.

K.D.-And the rest of the year will be spent louring? L.A.-Yes. Usually they tour during the fall and then

come back here for the residency in January. However, wit h the change-over and the somewhat new direction the theater is tating in terms 'of the types of plays we will be producing, we felt we should take the time to plan work towards these changes and solidify our base in the city.

One of our goals this season is to become more acces­sible to the community and the area at large. We will be doing more new plays this year, but we will also be doing some easily accessible things like "The Good Doctor." FST is turning more and more towards the communi ty for support through private donors, the county, and the city through the Sarasota Professional Arts Alliance.

K.D.-The SPAA was going to go back to the city and request more funding a few weeks ago. What be­came of that?

L.A.-The city will fund us in proportion to the way the county funds us.

K.D.-Was the decision to expand the types of plays FST presents to include lighter fare such as a Neil Simon comedy due to financial consideration?

R.H.-No, I think it was more an audience consider­ation than a financial one. FST could have gone as they were, presenting avante-garde and experimental plays. It was a desire to reach a broader base of people in Sara­sota that prompted the change, although we will con­tinue to do new plays here and on tour.

We have a good facility in a good location here, and we have the opportunity to do something in theater that the other organizations are not doing because of the intimate atmosphere. We can do things that the Asolo may not consider and the Golden Apple probably wou ldn't do. We fill an off-Broadway gap and give the people of this area a chance to see plays they might not have an opportunity to see otherwise. K.D.-J asked Joe Simmons of the Spotlight Dinner Tlieatre this question, ' but I'm interested in your response too . The Bradenton-Sarasota area has eight theater organizations, nine when you include the new Heritage Players. Can they all survive in a locale with such a small population to draw upon, or have all the theaters found an audience to support them by offering something unique?

F.H.-J think everyone does something unique in his own theater here, so the competition is kept to a mini­mum. Two gas stations at a corner will increase business for both. This is even more prevalent in the arts . The more theaters you have, the greater the appetite for the­ater.

K.D.-Joe Simmons had the same opinion. It certain­ly seems to be true here. Have you hired your actors yet?

R.H. -Not all of them. We have two under contract and are looking for two more.

K.D.-Where are most of your appli.cants coming from?

R.H.-All over-New York, especially. K.O.-Are they mostly young actors? R.H.-Most of them are under 30 with a year or more

professional experience. L.A.-We are essentially a young theater. Everyone

on our staff is 30 or younger. Our youth brings a certain vitality to our work.

K.D.-I imagine that the people who have acted at FST have found it a good place to broaden their exper­ience.

R.H.-Yeah, exactly. FST provides a really good working environment because of the intimacy of the place. We don't have 50 or 100 employees running "'rnnnrl h .. ,p w .... h",v .. "'n ",rlrn;n;ctr:H;on nf fOllr '"

We have a real feeling of family here. K.D.-Since you are going to have only four resident

actors, are you going to have to hire fill-ins fo r specific productions?

R.H.-No. We will be doing small cast plays and won't need to hire any additional actors.

K.D.-You are also going to a rotating repertory system. Will it operate in the same manner as the Aso­la 's repertory system?

R.H.-Yes, essentially the same, and there are several reasons for doing it. As Lach was sying earlier, our main emphasis this year is to build our resident opera­tion since the touring is going very well already.

The repertory system allows us to keep a play going for a longer time. If we were working in the standard manner, we could only run a play for three weeks; but with this system, we can keep on~ going for seven weeks, which gives the audience more of an opportunity . to see it.

And since we can run popular plays for a longer lime, we can do others that we think are artistically viable, but have a limited audience apeal. "The Ginger Man" is a good example. We would be scared to death to run that show for three weeks. WE would probably be playing to an empty theater the last few nights. "the Ginger Man" has been critically acclaimed, but hasn't become a popular success, so under this system we can run a play like this for seven performances and then run something like "The Good Doctor," which is very popular, for 15 performances. We can have the best of both worlds: something that is good box office and a crowd pleaser, and something for the serious theater goer.

THEATER The Manatee Players Barefoot In The Park

By Neil Simon Subject I : Carie Bratter. Newly wed, immature,

whiny, romantic, airheaded, bUl open to sensory adven­tures and new situations. Subject 2: Paul Bratter. Hus­band, lawyer, peevish, dipped in starch and old before his time. Subject 3: Ethel Banks. Mother of Corie but more like son-in-law Paul. Sixtyish, insulated and rather dull. Subject 4: Victor Velasco, the neighbor. Sixtyish eccentric playboy, gourmet cook, skier, mountain climber, wears a beret and is a professional guest. Sub­jects 5 and 6: two out-of-breath characters. One a tele­phone repairmen, the other a delivery man. Object: Matrimonial mayhem. Throw them all together and they spell Neil Simon' s "Barefoot in the Park."

This semi-old chestnut has been a standard of com­munity theaters for years and will undoubte;MX remain so in the decades to come. It's a light and eri -m,le play about a couple of newlyweds who move--tn:h .... a fifth floor apartment in an old brownstone on 48th St., New York, New York. The running gags include the long walk up the stairs, the nutty neighbors and Paul and Ethel Bank's dullness versus Corie and Velasco's lust for adventure :

The Manatee Players' production of "Barefoot in the Park" is as good or better than any of the other Simoni-

and her mother, respectively. alt hough Snyder doesn't look very surprised or upset when she learns that Carie and Paul are getting a divorce after only being married for (W, ~eeks.

Tom ........ wyer sh ines in the scene where he starts doing the paper work for the separation while he's half drunk and also during the fina l bits in which he is staggeri ng around the tiny apartment totally drunk. In the first act he seems a bit too nasty to his new wife, leaving one to

: wonder what Carie saw in such a temperamental little twerp.

Newsome turns in the best and most even perform­ance among the cast. She is able to come across with Corrie' s ever-changing moods and whims quite nicely in a voice that is often remi niscent of nails on a black­board. J ust the thing to dri ve a tired lawyer totally beserk after two weeks in a small walk-up. .

John Flannery is properly eccentric in his role as Velasco and Steve Credeur and Charles D. Livingstone have a fine comic fling as the two harried workmen. The last star of the show is John Duval' s set. He has proven once again what can be done with a limited community theater budget.

It 's hard to believe that Jane Fonda starred in the 1967 film version of "Barefoot in the Park," but she did. Carie is not exactly a liberated woman. Her adven, turous posterings are more a product of her chi ldishness than any real independence. Some of her lines and atti­tudes will make the more conscientious members of the audience wince but, overall , the play's good gags are as funny as ever.

.. And don 't worry if you blink and miss something. There always are several people in every crowd who take on the job of move-by-move, line-by-line commentary. Maybe m'ace is the answer to this problem. I wonder if it's legal. •

FILM

My Bodyguard Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, Matt D illon

Directed by Tony elll

** '" This film has the same kind of undeniable appeal that made " Breaking Away" so likeable. Both are stories about the li llie guy tri umphi ng over his persecutors with brains and a li tt le well-directed brawn. Bot h delve into nice subjects , like bravery, friendship and honor. Both have very likeable stars. In " My Bodyguard" they are Chris Ma kepeace as the liule guy, C li ffo rd Peache, and Adam Baldwin as the gentle giant wi th the bad repora­

"tion, Ricky Linderman. Both have clearly defi ned bu llies. Malt Dillon and his pack of cretins and goons do the dishonors here.

Moody (Dillon) and his gang are the terrors of their high school. They run a very successful protection racket , preying primarily on liule guys like newcomer, Cliff Peache. But Peache refuses to knuckle under and eventually enlists the aid of the hulking Linderman, who scares the hell out of everyone with hi s rep of being a psychopathic teacher raper and cop killer. Of course this is all a myth, but everyone avoids him li ke Typhoid Mary· everyone but Peache. and the two fo rm a rat her unique fr iendship.

Although there are parallels between "Breaking Away" and " My Bodyguard ," they don't hold up for very long. The former goes much deeper into the sub­st rata of the subject matter of its Story, i.e., the coming of age of a young man living in the' Midwest. "My Bodyguard" uses a serious problem - violence in a high school - as a jumping off point, but it only scratches sur­faces, it doesn', dig into them. True, the relat ionshi p be­tween Peache and Linderman is the focal point here, but

"there is still something missing, namely, that razor-edge sharpness in the presentation of characters, situations and local. This is most noticeable in the characters of Moody and his punk buddies. These skinny little geek sophomores are not nearly as threatening as some of the real thugs that walk the halls of Chicago's high schools.

But what is really working against " My Bodyguard" . is the presence of Ruth Gordon and Martin Mull as

Peaches dirty-old-lady grandmother and hOiel manager father.

There scenes drift towards silly comedy and away from the film's essential light comedy-drama formal. Mull' s pre-screen persona as the man who gave us such funny music albums as "The Days of Wine and Neurosis" and "Sex and Violins'.' gets in the way. It 's just too difficult to take him or Gordon seriously here. Their characters and characterizations have .a jarring

::ffect on the reSt of the movie. "My Bodyguard" would have made a great ABC

Afterschool Special or a good made-for-TV movie, but falls into the rank of the slightly better-tha n-average ttfcatrical release. Still, it is a refreshing and engaging

jilm that is worth the price of a ticket. It just falls short -o f being "' .... Ql her "Breaking Away," which was also refreshin~ r~had that something extra that made it a very good Ilfrh as well. De-Solo Square-. Sara50ta Square PG (language-J

light comedy about an ex-C IA agent's revenge on the world of international espionage.

Matthau plays Miles Kendig, a top agent of the old school who sees spying as a kind o f game that should be played by civilized men in a civilized manner. He is given a desk job by his humorless section chief, a pejorative Nixon ite named Myerson (Ned Beatty), for letting a long-time friendly Russian adversarY'(Herbert Lorn) go , after relieving him of some microfilm.

But old Miles has had enough of the new CIA and hatches a plan to embarrass "the company" wilh the help of his love interest , Isobel (Glenda Jackson). anOlher ex-agent who is widowed and living off her dead Austrian husband's money.

Using his years of experience and several old contactS, Mil es eludes hi s pursuers by hopping around the Western hemisphere as he writes his memoirs which reveal some of the agency;s less admirable ideas an'd' operations. To further goad the CIA and KGB into playing his game, he sends the book chapter by chapter to several heads of spy agencies in Europe and Chi na before giving it to a London-based publishing company.

All this is done with bright good humor that brings smiles instead of belly laughs as we watch, wondering what the spright ly Miles Kendig is going to do next. Matthau is at his impish, easy-going best as Kendig, and Jack son is just as sophisticated and sel f -reliant as ever in her part. Together they are a likeable if unlikely couple that gets good support in the film from Ned Beatty, Herbert Lam and Sam Waterston as one of Mile's few young friends and admirers in the agency.

"Hopscotch" gets a little too cute and farfetched'at tim es, but it's a very pleasant diversion from the daily realities and the horrors that have inundated the theaters over the summer. And although it's not a must see, at least it is a can see.

Changing Of Officers At Keys Kiwanis Club

R (language)

George Paules o f the Islander Clu b is the new president of the Sarasota Keys Kiwanis Club. taki ng over from Bob Hainesfurther who served the club last year. The organiZation now has 61 members and meets every Thursday morning for breakfast at Shenkd's.

David Gruber, last year's Lt. Governor of Division 21, stepped down and is being replaced by Nick Kadlen of the Englewood club .

ing by artist ic standards. But to me, ev~n those periods miss the spark, the spi rit, the soul of a Monnet or a Renoi r or any o f the French Impressionists, to say nOl hing of the great masters.

After his cubic period, interesting because of the great mathematical exactitude of his split lines, angles, corners and color, his imagination went riot in his revo­lutionary rage against the world and his rage in particu­lar against women, whom he splintered, fragmented, re­constructed and caricatured into grotesque forms.

Considering that Picasso loved and lived with many women during his long life and was loved by them, his love-hate relationship' with them is an enigma. His hatred is shown with great savagery as, for example, in "The Kiss," so distorted and fragmented that one is obliged to study it a long time, trying to understand it. Even the impersonal "Still Life on a Pedestal Table" shows his scorn for the world and his rage against it.

The famous "Guernica," a social and political protest against the Spanish Civil War and all war, takes up a complete large wall on the third floor. One can't help being impressed by it. It is, in my judgment , the only painting that justifies , in a very powerful way, its fragmented form.

I am probably going against the artistic judgment of those who have given their enti re lives to an, and I am but a novice, a Sunday critic. But if art is to portray truth and beauty (not the beauty of "prettiness," but the beauty of an old man's wrinkled face by, say, a Rembrandt) I see neither truth nor beauty in Picasso's distorted view of the world, especially of women. In Picasso's later years he became merely a "dirty old man" who, in fact, followed through on his inclinations as shown by his experiences in and his paintings Of the brothels of Madrid and Barcelona.

In all my searching for the answer to "What Is Art?", Picasso best illustrates the defi nition given me by a humble and li ttle-k nown art teacher: "Art is what people who are supposed to know say is an. "

Although I humbly sit a t the feet of those who are supposed to know, I'd like to present my own judgment: I thin k Picasso has perpetrated a great fraud on the world. •

The fi rst time an award has been given by the local Kiwanis Club to a lady was given to Mrs. Jim (Lee) Edmundson, whose work as hostess fo r new members was "beyond the call of duty." Jim had been in charge of the orientation of new members and in most cases had brought them home where Lee entertained the new prospect and his wife.

The dinner meeting was held at the Holiday Inn, . Friday evening, Sept. 26. •

Michael A. Smith Photography Exhibition At Ringling Museum Of Art

A one-man show by Michael A. Smith, described by "The New York Times" as one "of the most interesting of the younger American photographers," opens the 1980 exhibition season at the Ringling Museum of Art on October 2.

A contemporary landscape photographer, Smith uses an 8-by-lO-inch foremat camera. His unusual technique revives classic, even cliched, landscapes and makes them transform into a feas t of details for the eye. Eliminating or greatly surpressing the horizon line in much of his work, Smith shows a knack for abstraction that makes the great depth and details in these works genuinely startling. •

~able d'hote Dining Out

By Kevin Dean

In Search of the Fast Chicken

Fast food chicken joints have beC'''-:-.e very popular in the days since Colonel Sanders dunked his first bird into a vat of boiling fat. In Bradenton alone. there are several KFCs, a Chicken Unlimited, a Maryland Fried Chicken. a r,.':IOUS fried Chicken and a Chick-fil-A in the mall. Two Scou's Fried Chicken restaurants pulled out earlier this year. Too many chicken cooks spoil the market, I guess.

Ari el • exhaustive taste test, I believe I have found the best last chicken dinner in town, and, interestingly e ·" . '. , it's from none of the above. The best chicken dinner to be had in Bradenton is served by Wuv' s, a chain restaurant that is usually associated with burgers (which aren't bad either) rather than bird s.

During the taste test, I sam pled the typical two or th ree piece dinners thai are presented by these establish­ments. My grading system look inlo account the ch icken , the side dishes and how il was served and Wuv's scored the highest in all of these calegories.

Wuv's chicken is lightly seasoned and served nice and crisp . The flavor is good and every time I've tried it, it was reasonably fresh - even the best pre-cooked chicken can get nasty if it sits out for too long.

A Wuv's ch icken dinner comes with a tub of slaw that is a bit better than the usual cabbage salad. Along with the slaw, you get some of these delicious Wuv's French fri es which are cut fresh and fried in thei r sk ins. But the topper on the menu, besides the chicken itself, is the biscuit which is baked fresh each morning and comes with a choice of bulter or honey. Definitely be({er than the typical gag-in-the-mouth dinner roll that comes with most chicken dinners.

There are two Wuv's in Bradenton. One is at the Tower Square Plaza on Manatee Avenue and the other

temporary expedient they just might. They did during the Nixon era, for when they were lifted a short time after they were imposed, prices did seem to recede and increased wages were not immediately forthcoming. It is Quite obvious that the OIher restraints upon the economy are not 'working either. 16 percent interest fates are usurous and inexcusable no maner the rale of inflation. Shylock. in comparison to the U.S. government. was a patsy. A pound of flesh is as of nothing compared to the entire body, which is just abou~ ",,hal the government is exacting by creating a seriolhwnemploymem problem. by bankruptcies and by denying its citizens roofs over their heads.

Why shou ld the economy have deteriorated so badly between the end of the Ford Administ ration and today?

:5 In a small way the price of oil is to blame. In a bigger way the uncontrolled money printing presses working overtime, created more purchasing power than there were products to satisfy the money supply and the lifting of restrictions on trade in gold were contributing factors in the runaway inflation. Stop the presses, stop the trading in gold and curtail the use of gasoline and other energy supplies and perhaps, just perhaps, the economy will gradually straighten itself out.

Since the above was wr itten, the government has decided to go into the gold coin business, the price for which will vary from day to day based upon the free markel price of gold. This decision is but another step in the wrong direction which will further compound our credit problems by decreasing the sum total of monies which the banks need to have for mortgage, inventory and manufacturing loans. Better to have gone back to '32 and fixed the price of gold and to make it illegal for any American citizen to buy it, to horde it and to trade in it, than to provide an easy way for .he public to invest

;) in gold. Picture the confusion at the grocery check-out counter if the value of the dollar were to fluctuate like gold. It's bad enough that prices do. •

THE LONUBOA·r.OllSERVER

Jack Slack .. . . . . , ...... (Continued from page 2)

The Iranian province bordering on Iraq, called Khu­zestan by the Iranians, Arabistan by Iraq, contains most of Iran's oil reserves and, like Iraq, it is populated mostly by Arabs. An intriguing. as yet unanswered question is, will iraq try to gain control of this province or incite its inhabitants to revolt? If this should be ac· complished. Iran would be devastated by the loss of most of its oil wealth.

For the West, perhaps the most dangerous Iraqi de­mand is for the control of the three strategic islands­Abu Musa. and the greater and lesser Tunbs-which were seized by Iran under the Shah. A glance at a map of the Gulf shows these islands control the access to the Straits of Hormuz, the artery through which all the re­gion's oil exports must pass. There is little doubt that Iraq's MIG's and Russian supplied armaments in con­trol of these islands and the Straits imply a dangerous increase of Russian control over the West's economic destiny. And there is lillie doubt that the U.S. can do anything about it .

Barring a miraculous technical breakthrough of some kind, the industrial world will remain heavily dependent on oil and natural gas through the year 2000. The once bright promise of nuclear power has faded as environ­mental opposition has built up and frustrated the devel­opment of nuclear plants which could have been a gian t step out from under the oil weapon. (Raising a question about the true motives of some of the leaders of the anti-nuke forces.)

The upshot of all this for investors is that it is not unpatriotic to be aware of what is happening in the world and have that awareness translate into a willing­ness to look beyond the U.S. for attractive investments.

In a real sense, after all. investing is a form of insur­ance for you and your family against an uncertain fu­ture. It would be the height of folly indeed not to recog­nize that the grave threats of the Persian Gulf, as bad as they are, have also opened up opportunities for those willing to take advantage of them.
