Leaving a 401(k) with a previous employer could mean leaving it alone with no one to watch over it. At Edward Jones, we can explain options for your 401(k) and help you select the one thats best for you. If you’d like to roll it over to an Edward Jones Individual Retirement Account (IRA), we can help you do it without paying taxes or penalties. And you can feel confident that someone is looking out for you and your 401(k).

To find out why it makes sense to talk with Edward Jones about your 401(k) options, call or visit your local financial advisor today.

Retirement May Be Far Off,But the April 15TH Deadline for IRA Contributions Isn’t.

You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. That’s why contributing to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2014 IRA contribution before the April 15TH deadline. By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, it’s easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face guidance you deserve.________________________________________________________To learn more about the advantages of an Edward Jones IRA, call or visit today.

Afterrisingprojectcostsandan unexpected permit delay,Sarasota County is finallymoving towards a January2016constructionstartdateforthelong-plannedTurtleBeachrenourishment. That’s because somerecent good news out ofTallahassee and progresswith a federal environmentalpermitapplicationwillensurethe county can completethe project, Laird Wreford,Sarasota County CoastalResourcesManager,toldSiesta Sand. Thecostof theSouthSiestaRenourishment Project—which will buffer two milesof beach including TurtleBeach—has been rising, from$19.8millionjustayearagotoacurrentpriceestimateofcloseto $22million. That’s almosttwiceasmuchasinitialprojectestimates of $11.5 million.The rising cost of mobilizinga giant ocean-going dredgevessel is a major contributorfor the “skyrocketing” cost of

beach nourishments, Wrefordsaid. But county officials saya $2.75 million state awardapprovedbythelegislatureinJunewillprovidethefinancialboost needed to move aheadwiththeSouthSiestaproject. For some time, it appearedthat the projectmight not getany funding from the state.Back in April, at the SiestaKey Association meeting,where County CommissionerHines was the guest speaker,the commissioner said thisregarding Turtle Beach’srenourishment; “If we don’tget state money this year,Turtle Beach probably won’thappen.” “We are happy about it,”Wreford said about the stateaward,“thatitwasmorethanzero.” Following a tumultuousregular legislative session,state legislators wrapped upthe budget session in June,in the process setting asidealmost $8 million for beach

renourishment efforts onVenice, Siesta Key, LongboatKey, and Anna Maria Island.But the award earmarked forSouth Siesta project—which,if completed, will widen theTurtle Beach public park andareasdirectlytothenorthandsouth—wasofnote.Itwasthelargest state award for localbeachprojects. The county, however,originallyrequested$7millionin state funding, and it is stillseeking another $4.25 millionfrom the state. “We will bebackwithafollowuprequestin the subsequent year oryears,”Wrefordsaid. But Wreford said the $2.75million-award is enough forthecountytomoveaheadwiththeproject’sJanuary2016startdate. The coastal resourcesmanager is hopeful that arequest for follow-up fundingis more likely to be fulfillednowthatthestatehasmadeaninitialinvestmentintheproject.

That’s important becausethe closer the county gets tosecuringthe$7-millionamount,the less Tourist DevelopmentTax dollars it will have tospendontheproject.“Thestatefunding [of $2.75 million] iscertainlyasignificanthelp.Ifwefailedtogetanystatefunding,we would be able to do theproject, but that would reallycutintoTDTfunding,”Wrefordsaid.“Thatwouldhavelimitedthecounty’sabilitytodomoreprojects and additional SouthSiestarenourishments.” In addition to the statemoney, funding optionsinclude: Tourist DevelopmentTax,MunicipalServicesBenefitUnit (MSBU), and commercialborrow.

Permit progress Another crucial element ofthe beachproject is securing afederal permit—a process thatwasdelayed inspringbecauseof the potential presence ofa recently-listed shorebirdduringitsannualmigration. InMarch,countyofficialslet

residents know the scheduledstart date for the project hadbeen delayed, because of thepotential presence of the RufaRedKnot,athreatenedspeciesprotected by the EndangeredSpecies Act in 2014. Thepotential stopover of the RedKnotduringmigrationdelayedthe permitting process, andsince spring the county hasbeen working to put specificsafeguards in place to protecttheRedKnot andLoggerheadseaturtles.

“The Red Knot is not verycommon in our area but itcan potentially use our gulfshoreline during its trip,”Wrefordsaid. Similarbeachrenourishmentprojects elsewhere in Floridaalso faced temporary delaysbecause of the federalpermittingprocess. “If a nesting pair [of RedKnots]weredocumented,thereare things we have to do,”Wrefordsaid.

ICE IT!I love ice! Is that bad?Many of us like sucking and chewing on ice.It’s cool, no calories and refreshing.However, it’s a major cause of broken teeth and dental restorations!Ice is very cold and chills teeth to make them more brittle.Add to that that ice is very, very hard.Now you’re biting into a very hard substance with cold, brittle teeth and it’s a terrible recipe for cracks and fractures.So, unless you like it so much you don’t mind the problems it causes; consider breaking this habit before it breaks you!

It’s up to you!

“IRISH SALMON” - Weknowit’snotalocalcatchbutnofishmarketintheworldistrulya fishmarket without Salmonin the inventory. Farm-raisedandpreviously frozen Salmonisavailableallyear roundbutfortrueSalmonlovers,Augustisanexcellenttimeoftheyearas wild caught Salmon is inthe peak of its season. WildAlaskanKingSalmon,SockeyeSalmonandeveninsomepartsof the United States CopperRiver Salmon is abundant,freshandreasonablypriced. One form of Salmon, inmy opinion, that is a standout above all the rest all yearround is organically farm-raised Irish Salmon. I knowthatthewords“farm-raised”isanautomaticturnoffformanyfish eaters but many don’tknow the difference betweenfarm-raised and organicallyfarm-raisedsoletmeexplain. Farm-raised, although ahealthy way to raise fish fortheenvironment,isconsideredby many (including myself)

as an inhumane process ofraising fish for food becauseof the small containers thatthe fish are grown in and theunhealthy chemicals used forfeeding and artificial flesh coloring.Organicallyfarm-raisedSalmon is a totally differentprocess. Irish Organic Salmon isproduced with the followingprinciples:Thefishswimfreelyin the pristine Irish waters inlargenetsintheNorthAtlanticOcean off the Coast of ClareIsland. These nets are manymiles wide in deep watersallowing thefish to swimandeat from thewild.There isnouse of Genetically ModifiedOrganisms in the product,feed or processing aids, eitherdirectly or indirectly. Alsothere are no chemical colorenhancements. Basically,this Salmon plant in Irelandrespects the needs of the fishandimplementsahighwelfarestandardwhichisessentialforthe fish health managementof Irish Salmon. This natural

In1961, SchennummovedtoSarasotaandwenttoworkfor JackWest&Associates.Among otherWest projects,Schennum was involvedwith building additions toSarasota’s LandmarkHotel,including 2-story villas anda health spa. He was alsoinvolvedwithconstructionofTuttleElementarySchool. In 1962, Schennum gota job in Ralph Twitchell’ssmal l o f f i ce loca ted onSiesta Key’s Big Pass.Herehewas involved in creatingdesign, detailed drawings,construction supervisionandclientconferences forvariousluxuryresidences,commercialbuildings and resorts.RalphTwitchell was considered

the fatherof theSarasotaSchool of architecture,bestknownforhisdesignoftheLidoCasino,whichthe city loved andnevershould have been torndown. Sarasota’sMayorDavidCohen, amusician andconductorwhoco-foundedtheWestCoastSymphonyOrchestra, also servedas City Commissionerin Sarasota from 1960-1969. Agreatbeliever intheworkof FrankLloydWright,CohenmadeithispersonalmissiontobringTheFrankLloydWrightFoundation toourcity todesignandbuildtheVanWezel PerformingArtsHall. Wes Peterswas nowchiefarchitectforTaliesinAssociatedArchitects,andthemanwas stretchedthin completing amyriadofprojectsworldwide. (Withinaveryshorttime,hehadbeenrequired to become licensedin every state of the union.)Although he designed theVan Wezel, Peters had tohave someonehe could trustin Sarasota to oversee itsconstruction. He needed askilledprofessional to serveas “Clerk of theWorks”—the person in charge of allcorrespondence from all theconsultantsworking on theVanWezel. E n c o u r a g e d b y h i sWisconsin colleague andSchennum’sformeremployer,BillKaeser,PeterschoseRobertSchennumasmanforthejob.Schennum’s title:ArchitectsRepresentative for TaliesinAssociatedArchitects of theFrankLloydWrightfoundationandProject Inspector for theCity of Sarasota. It was ahuge undertaking, keepingSchennum totally involvedfrom 1968 to 1970. Whenthehallwaspaintedpurple,Sarasota was ablaze withcontroversy!Whenthegrandopening came in January of1970, Wes Peters showedup in a two-tonepurple tux.Duringthegalaperformance,

Schennummovedall aroundthehall, checkingoutqualityof sound, andwasdelightedtofinditexcellent. From 1970-71, Schennumb e c a m e A r c h i t e c t sRepresentat ive for West& Conyers, Architects &Engineers, aswell asProjectInspector for the SarasotaCounty School Board onadditions to SarasotaHighSchool. The following year,Schennumwasbroughtbackto theVanWezel to inspectnewportionsnot included inthe original contract, and toinsure that stage equipmentwasbeingusedproperly forvariousperformances. H i s l o n g p e r i o d o fapprenticeshipnowcomplete,RobertSchennumreceivedhisStateofFloridaArchitecturalLicense in 1972.

Asfor his personal philosophy,however, Robert Schennumremainsclosetotheprincipalsof FrankLloydWrightwhobelievedhewascreatingatrulyAmericanarchitectureinsteadof imitating architecturerooted inEurope.MostotherSarasota School architects—themost famous beingPaulRudolph—were inspired bytheworkofWalterGropius,founder and director of theGerman Bauhaus. Gropiusbecame a huge influence inAmerica, having emigratedfromGermany toEngland in1934,thenmovingtotheU.S.where he taught atHarvardGraduate School of Designfrom1937to1952.
