Recent high school graduate John Hart, 18, walked into the Venice Barber Shop and asked for a flattop. Barber Don Brandow says the cut is harder to master than long hair. Hart, heading to Cedarville College this fall, says the style is cooler for summer and hopes it lasts at least for the season.

Carter criticized on price controls by Venice Hospital chief
Venice Hospital Administrator Ronald Hanson told the Venice Nokomis Rotary Club that President Carter uses a forked tongue on hospital costs and that the Hospital Cost Containment Act would penalize hospitals with high Medicare patients while offering little relief for costs. He warned Medicare rules could cost Venice Hospital about 413000 dollars due to growth and admission rules, and noted only 30 percent of billed charges are collected from patients.

Dual taxation dispute stalls at appeals court
The Sarasota County and four municipalities gained no resolution after a Second District Court of Appeal hearing in Lakeland. The court deferred on the Parham ruling that city residents pay a one mill tax rate cut while unincorporated residents face seven tenths of a mill increase, with arguments that the constitution was ignored and that a quick decision was made amid budget concerns. City residents are taxed for county services they do not receive.
