Down to fourHarrity decides not to run for seat on Sanibel City Council

By Christopher StrineIslander editor

It was announced in last week's Islander that therewould be five candidates vying for the two seats openon the Sanibel City Council during this November'selection.' As of Friday, that race is down to four candidates.1 Martin Harrity, the mystery man among the candi-dates, announced Friday, Aug. 19, after a week of dis-cussions with family, friends and supporters, that hewould not be seeking one of the council seats in1994.

Harrity was somewhat of a mystery to all those inthe know, and to the curious, because he had declaredhis intentions to run and had filed the preliminarypaperwork to enter the race. Upon stating his inten-tions, however, he left the islands on a vacation withhis family.

With little information to work with, there wasnever really an official public declaration with itsaccompanying personal background information.

Well, he has now returned, he is not a candidateand he has told The Islander a bit about himself.

Revealing why he decided not to run, Harrity saidFriday, "I need to know a little more about the city,how it works."

Politically speaking he add, "I have strengths in

certain areas, but I need to develop strengths in otherareas."

Concerning the chance of running in the future,Harrity admitted that he will likely run some day.

"This is my community and I want to be an activepart of it," he said, noting that he would like to be anactive part, among other things, by serving on thecouncil.

Now to offer a bit of the background about Harrity- the man and potential future council candidate ...

A visitor to the islands since the late 1970s,Harrity bought a condominium on the island in the

mid-1980s, "so we could escape to paradise everychance we could."

When the family wasn't on Sanibel, it resided inSt. Louis where Harrity owned his own manufactur-ing firm - Betallic, a company that made Mylar bal-loons. .•..--•• •

Then in June 1991, the Harritys visited and virtual-ly never left. After six months, the kids had beenenrolled at Sanibel Elementary School, the familycondo had been put on the market and a home had

Man drowns at Lighthouse PointBy Anne BellewIslander staff writer

Despite a heroic rescue attempt by visitingColombian resident Susan Magdalena and CPRadministered by an unknown resident and SanibelPolice Officer Feliciano, a 32-year-old Kentuckyman drowned off Lighthouse Point on Sunday dur-ing the early afternoon of Monday, Aug. 15.

Larry R. Ballard was apparently rafting with hisfiancee, Dolly Hall, off the east end of Sanibel in

choppy water when he fell off his raft and waspulled away from shore by the current.

A beach walker went to call for help after hear-ing screams from approximately 100 yards off-shore, and another passerby, Mike Strike of FortMyers swam out with Magdalena to help. Anexhausted Magdalena dragged the by then uncon-scious Ballard to shore at which point an unidenti-

On Thursday evening, Aug. 18, SanibelElementary School invited all island students andtheir parents to its annual before-school-starts openhouse. Over 350 parents took the opportunity to meetwith the staff, tour the facility, meet with their child'steacher and learn something about the curriculum forthe coming year.

To add an interesting twist to thestory, while Sanibel was home to theHarritys, Martin commuted back andforth between the island and St. Louis,where he continued to oversee his firm.

"I'd fly out on Monday and return onThursday or Friday," Harrity said. "Itwas an easy commute really, only twohours one way."

Harrity admitted that his friends andcolleagues often questioned him abouthis weekly trips, but he said he reallydidn't mind them. In fact, when it cametime to head back to Sanibel he said,"It was like going on vacation everyweek."

Harrity continued that commute forthe next three years. He finally settledon the island along with his wifeBrenda and sons Clark and Joe this pastApril when he sold Betallic toEnterprise Capital Group, a division of

Enterprise Leasing Company.Although officially retired, Harrity is

still a consultant with the company.Already an active islander in the

recreational area where he has helpedcoach his sons in Little League, basket-ball and a few other areas, Harrityhopes to become even more active, andmore involved, in the community in thefuture.

As of Monday, Aug. 22, son Clark isa third grader at Sanibel Elementaryand his younger brother Joe is a firstgrader at the school.

More than 90 participants came to the workshopfrom refuges as far away as California, Minnesotaand New Mexico. They spent three days in Tampalearning the ins and outs of establishing and runninga successful non-profit support group for localwildlife refuges. Many elected to take the Sanibel"field trip" after the workshop concluded.

On the island they toured the Visitor Center and"Ding" Darling Wildlife Society offices, enjoyed aguided tram tour along Wildlife Drive and visited theTarpon Bay Recreation Area and the Marine HabitatFoundation research facility.

"Considering that our goal was to help otherrefuges and volunteers in setting up their own cooper-ating associations, I think we can regard this work-shop as a highly successful project," according to

Fire singes Captiva's She Sells Sea ShellsBy Anne BellewIslander staff writer

According to Captiva Fire Control District, somekind of electrical cause is still suspected in a fire sohot that it blew out a window and totally destroyedthe inside of the Joffes' Captiva location of She SellsSea Shells early Saturday, Aug. 13. While the statefire marshal and insurance investigators have notmade final reports, there appeared to be no reason tosuspect arson as a cause.

Anne Joffe, in business on Sanibel for 20-plus

years, opened the small, easy-to-manage Captivastore a year and a half ago to fill the needs of herSouth Seas and 'Tween Waters customers who dislikedealing with seasonal traffic on Sanibel.

"And," she said, "I've been amazed at the largenumber of people from Fort Myers and Fort MyersBeach who come to Captivaibr the day. I tell them,'You know, you drove right by two of our stores onSanibel,' and the invariable response is, 'Yes, but wecame to Captiva for the day and to have lunch (ordinner, or whatever).' They 'by-pass' Sanibel com-

Gatorspotted inBemidji?

Islander subscriber Lenora Hoffmann wrote to us from "up north" that Bemidji, Minn., now has its own resi-dent alligator. It has been sighted by several reliable sources and may have arrived in a freight-carload oflumber from Louisiana. Potlatch is a local wood fiber manufacturing plant Just outside of town. The make-dogator crossing sign above, created by a concerned but unknown sign maker, was photographed by MonteDraper and offered to The Islander for publication by Brad Swenson, the managing editor of the BemidjiPioneer and Advertiser newspaper.

pletely."For the time being, however, they will have to

avail themselves of the shells and shell creations inthe Sanibel stores.

"There is absolutely nothing left," said Joffe, whowas on vacation at the time of the fire. "No shelves,no cabinets, even the shells are cracked and burned.Everything that's not burned up completely is charredso badly you can hardly tell what it is."

Joffe went on to say, "It is a terrible shock. I trulythought I had fire as well as burglar protection - in allmy stores. Unfortunately, we get complacent whenthings go well for a long time, you know, the it-won't-happen-to-me syndrome. I'll be honest withyou, right now I'm very nervous, and this veryunpleasant event will get me to re-evaluate how myhome and businesses are arranged and protected."

Joffe added, "I feel terrible for the other businessesin the center. Gina Stephens at Muk-A-Luk's wants tostay open, but look at the eyesore right next door toher! And I feel bad for the two employees at thatlocation who have been with me for awhile. I'm try-ing to work them into one of the other stores. Andwhat about John Beggs, our landlord, look what he'slost."

Joffe is waiting to hear from the investigators also,but assumes from what she has heard that the fire waselectrical in origin. She does not know what Beggs'plans are, if any at this point, for rebuilding and shehas not completed an estimate her losses.

The Paradise Center has an interesting back-ground. It was a fishing camp consisting of six orseven separate little cottages for many years, startingback sometime after World War II. As the Dove'sNest it eventually became a typical Sanibel/Captivaexample of cluster housing - little cottages inhabitedby a bunch of people who all knew each other orwere related ... Rick Manderscheid in this one, hisbrother across the way, LuAnn from the Mucky Duckin another. It's only been a shopping "center" for thepast three or four years.

"It's kind of ironic," Joffe mused, "but I came tothe conclusion a long time ago that I should own theland and building as well as my business, and onSanibel that is the situation. This Captiva opportunitycame along and I thought, 'Well, if this is the onlyway to do it, I guess I can lease. What can gowrong?'"

10A Commentary Tuesday,Aug. 23,1994

Closedmindednessoptional

There has been some pretty strong Sanibelcitizenry language lately in the local headlines,namely that Sanibel, as a ... "responsible com-munity" is in imminent danger of a possible"invasion of deviates" who are "not decent peo-ple" and who by "offering us an unobstructedview of their bodies" will "batter the sensibili-ties and values of the large majority of people","causing psychological and emotional harm toothers", resulting in "destruction of religiousand moral values", unless we "stop this at thebeginning ... taking action immediately" and"putting a firm foot down", or, as one citizenhas done,... perhaps by "taking a shotgun".

Good Lord! Who knew?!

Guest CommentaryLee and Dana Mehlig

As full-time, year-round Sanibel residents,my wife and I had no idea of such impendingperil. We thought that here - of all places - wewere neatly tucked away, staunchly hiddenfrom such hideous risk by trustworthy, stalwartprotective forces that would never let us sufferfrom these George Orwell and Orson Welles'extra-terrestrials. How were we to know that allis not well in paradise?

Anti-nudists describe nudists as miscreantsand deviants who undermine our moral fiberand wreak havoc upon our society.

It has always been interesting to me toobserve those persons opposed to nudity. I'venever understood what they're challenging andtruly opposed to.

Are they against the naked body?Or are they resistant to the idea of being

naked?Do they object to public openness within

nature?Is the affrontity one of implied promiscuity

that nudity might lead to?Is it a deep-seated fear within themselves

that, unfortunately, such physical candor isbeyond their realm of human understanding?

Or are they really threatened by the self-examination of their own sexuality?

An old philosopher has sagely noted ... "Whoyou are ... speaks so loudly ... that I can't hearwhat you're saying."

My experience over the past 65 years hasbeen that such persons seem to have the biggestproblem with sexuality in general. Gender is amystery and a major dilemma for them.

It seems to me that the name-calling "anti-body-ist" is essentially crying out against his orher own discomfort in coming to grips with thefirst aspect of our persona's Trinity, namelybody, mind and spirit.

In not accepting our body (the temple ofGod) as the primary gateway to a full realiza-tion of mind and spirit, we deny ourselves entryto the ultimate pathway of soul. For these threecomponents comprise the ultimate destiny foreach of us - from whence we were born and towhence we shall ultimately reside.

If we are to believe that the anti-nudistsmake up the "majority" of our society, then weare making mighty slow progress, indeed,toward comprehending the basic first tenet ofhuman understanding, that of human sexuality.

With wife beatings, incest and rape abound-ing at a steady clip in our daily news, we would

Dear Betty O'NealThe Islander

We may possibly be two of the three ladies youmentioned in your Aug. 2, 1994, Islander article enti-tled "Thanks For Taking Time To Pick Up Litter." Weare happy our efforts were noticed, although that wasnot our intent.

We reside off island and our Sunday morning treatis to arrive at one of our favorite Sanibel beaches at 6a.m.. We walk three miles one way and three milesback to our car, picking up debris along the way -usually at least several plastic bags apiece.

We will probably continue to do the same, eventhough it will cost us more money in parking fees, on

top of the causeway toll.We are not complaining. We simply do not under-

stand why we, as Lee County residents, have to payto walk your lovely beaches when Sanibel residents,who are also Lee County residents, are able to useand enjoy Lee County's off island facilities.

To put it simply, we just think we have been slight-ly overlooked in the decision to have meters on thebeaches.

Again, thanks for appreciating our efforts.Sincerely,

LettersSmiley'sopinionssupportedTo the editorThe Islander

My wife and Ihave vacationedon Sanibel forfour years in arow. We now sub-scribe to TheIslander. It's awelcomed friend.

I have neverwritten to an edi-tor of a news

journal prior to this, but after reading the letter fromRon Smiley (Letters, 8-9-94) regarding McDonald's,I felt a duty.

He's right! "Sanibel does NOT need aMcDonald's."

Saint Louis has so many McD's, they even retro-fitted a barge (disguised as a paddle-wheeled river-boat) to serve the mediocre fare. The point is, if youallow McD's an arm, they'll take more than a leg andprobably serve it on a bun.

Sanibel/Captiva are unique. There is nothingunique about McD's.

Perhaps the islands' residents, who may not beaware of the big-city blight caused by a "franchisegiant," should travel around and experience whatcould be their fate. There is enough eye, ear and nosepollution on the mainland. And there is the problemof trash. As up-standing as an owner or manager maybe, the transient guest is not as likely to owe respectto the environment.

Mr. Smiley's letter should be read and re-read bythe residents and property owners of the islands. Youall should be grateful that one of your own has thevision and purpose to let the giant see the stone in thesling. There will be no need to fling the stone if youall take the step forward and stand fast.

With the diversity of restaurants presently locatedon Sanibel/Captiva, and knowing the cyclical pros-perity of the current businesses, a McD's will not cre-ate nirvana. It would only add to the dwindling seren-ity of "paradise". The citizens of the islands don'tknow how fortunate they are to have staved-off thegiant thus far.

Mr. Smiley, we wish you the best of luck in yourendeavors.

Say yes to no live shellingTo the editorThe islander

I strongly support the proposed ban on liveshelling and cannot understand how any "thinkingmachine," which is what people are supposed to be,can do otherwise. We already accept that it is wrongto kill otters, raccoons, porpoises and turtles, yet our

most valuable and beautiful animals of all can bekilled with impunity. It makes no sense at all.

Once, our impact upon nature was minimal, but nomore. One has only to attempt to get out onPeriwinkle from any other street or road to see theincrease in traffic. Where once we could count ourvisitors by the hundreds, now thousands come, eachperson in each car headed for the beaches. If eachperson in each car takes his legal number of liveshells each day, it still adds up to disaster.

Even the windrows of dead shells, many so beauti-ful and unique, would disappear if the live ones didnot die of natural attrition. On the bay side of Sanibel,we once had bay Chinese alphabets and large yellowand orange bay scallops. No more. Even the pink rosepetals have become scarce. How many times I haveagonized as I watch - but cannot stop - the "shellingpigs" who take all of my "pets", most of which willdie, stink and be discarded at motels and along thehighways just a day's travel from Sanibel.

As for the "commercial interest" who insist thatthey have to kill to get the perfect shell, there is nosuch thing.

So, the call goes forth to responsible, caring resi-dents of Sanibel: Say yes to no live shelling!

Clearing up a littlemisunderstandingTo the editorThe Islander

There has apparently been a misunderstandingregarding our editorial of Aug. 9, pertaining to thenudity at Bowman's Beach.

In Judith Hick's editorial Aug. 2, we totally agreewith her on the issue of discarded whiskey bottles,beer cans, etc. That is against the law. So is her men-tion of smoking pot. Nude couples engaging in sexualacts would be considered lewd and also unlawful. Butwhat does all this have to do with nude sunbathers?

We live in the resort town of Wildwood, N.J., andall of the above offenses and more go on here on ourbeaches every day in the summer and every one ofthese people are Clothed!

Bowman's Beach would be governed by the samelaws that pertain to all of the beaches of Sanibel.Since none of the beaches are patrolled by the police,when/if you see someone breaking the law you reportit to the police and they in turn will check it out.

We too have many gays on our beaches, both nude•.ad clothed.

When we occasionally see a nude couple, homo orhetero, engaging in a sexual act, we, as in the majori-ty of us, will go to these law breakers and tell them toknock it off! They usually readily comply becausethey are outnumbered!

Judith, we want you and all the people of Sanibelto know that if anyone nude or clothed is breaking alaw, and the key word is LAW, then they should bedealt with by the police department. But we have

Elementary school students reported that a tinybeing resembling E.T. was hogging one of the tenniscourts by playing a match with himself. They claimedthat the tiny creature would hit a ball over the net andwould then run to that side of the court and hit it backbefore the ball would bounce more than once.Responding officers found no such creature on thecourt and said they would patrol the area.

Jeffrey Smith of Ohio was arrested for driving 55mph through the Sundial lobby.

Mary Jones of Fort Myers reported that a blacksuitcase containing $500,000 in $100 bills was miss-ing from her rented Greyhound bus. She explainedthat the money had been sent to her personally bySaddam Hussein to purchase a retirement villa onSanibel. The suitcase was later found in an empty

seat in the Island Cinema. When the money wascounted, the suitcase was found to contain $500,100.No explanation was given for the discrepancy.

A man wearing a skin-tight red and blue outfit witha cape and a large letter "S" in front was reported fly-ing around the Sanibel beaches. An early morningshell collector described the conversation she hadwith the man: "He asked me if I knew if there wasany kryponite on our beaches and I told him Iwouldn't know one kryptonite from another. He gaveme a dirty look and flew away."

Responding to a complaint of loud talking at night,two circus barkers agreed to continue their conversa-tion the next morning.

appear to be still back at "square one" in dealing withthe acceptance of our own sexuality.

Have we, as an "advanced and highly civilized"modern society really decided to duck the key issuesof existence by picking on naturists/nudists as easytargets to escape facing ourselves?

As one of those persons in his twilight years, I hateto think that our four daughters and five grandchil-dren will be inheriting such a cloistered, backwardand Neanderthal world. I choose to be more opti-mistic.

The enlightened w h o have accepted sex generallymove on to confront the next biggest fears ofmankind - the search for knowledge of personalityand human spirit. Without sex to decry, the confronta-tion of true substance is a tough one indeed.

Who am I? Really. What character core and sub-stance'marrow do Tpossess "arid stand for? What is •the true root essence of my internal being? There 's nomore hiding behind the facade of the exterior body.

My wife and I regularly practice nudity of body,mind and spirit in our home. If others choose to use adesignated "clothes optional" beach area, as is thecase in hundreds of locations throughout the world,why would or should w e take offense. We do not feela need to walk several, out-of-the-way miles to viewnaked bodies down Bowman ' s Beach to Silver Key,unless we have some innate need to confront theinner fears of our own sexual beings.

Exposure of the inner self 's shortcomings and fail-ings is very painful.

"When we ca l l . . . Fate doesn ' t respond to us fromthe outside, but comes forth from within" (Rilke)

During the 20 years before w e moved to Sanibel,we lived year-round on an Atlantic Ocean, U .S . gov-ernment, national seashore barrier beach island, nottoo unlike Sanibel. A naturist/"clothes optional"beach area existed there long before w e arrived in1965 and still functions today, 30 years later.

No known moral , religious or psychologicalcalamities or catastrophes are on record because ofthis beach area's existence. Over the years, on ourwalking occasions to pass by the area, the preponder-ance of resident sun partakers there were two andthree generational families, and thence they fell agood deal short of being characterized as "irresponsi-ble deviants."

Our country was founded upon differences, notuniformity. America 's fundamentals s temmed fromforbearance, tolerance and wide expression.

Students learn at different rates; no two personslook alike, nor taste things in exactly the same way,feel the same, hear or see precisely the same.

We all enjoy different hobbies , different books,different religions. Why would it not be logical then,pray tell, that some people choose to experience thebeauty of nature, water, sun and sand in a way that isnot exactly the same way that you or I might chooseto?

If clothes and swimming suits inhibit those personsfrom obtaining the full exper ience of their body, andthey do so in an area that is so designated, whyshould we deign to intrude, deny or bar them fromthis experience?

Correlat ing nature 's beauty wi th the body ' s beautysatisfies an innate drive and need in m u c h ofmankind.

It 's pretty hard to be "injured" by someone ' s nudi-ty, unless you seek out naked pe r sons to assure thatyou will be "injured."

W h a t kind of moral and spiritual legacy do w ewish to leave to our future generat ions?

O n e of secrecy, fear, instability, anguish, misunder-standing and a lack of being in touch with the t ruelove of self and thus all humankind? Is it better thatwe should espouse and promulga te that greed, lustand power will win out over all? That position, statusand influence is license to ma im, injure, and evenmurder spouses because there never was a loving

upbringing to engender and nurture caring, tendernessand unconditional love. %

D o w e wish to send the lesson that too manyj lead-line "heroes" are putting forth today, that they elmbuy attorneys, investigators and public opinion % anattempt to cover a tortured soul? W h a t kind of rboralvalues are we examining here as a family platfojm?

What is our life purpose, aim and goal if not toinspire a sense of personal well-being, pride, seff-esteem and genuine caring? i

O n e very encouraging sign of the times is th&pub-lic 's wide interest in the current fast-selling booktitled "The Celestine Prophecy."

spent many weeks on Sanibel's clothedbeaches and have smelled the odor ofburning pot and have seen people leavetheir trash behind, and yes, even cou-ples being passionate with each other!

Discarded condoms? Surely youmust not be looking hard enough. Theycan be found just about anywhere. It isgood to know that at least people areusing them!

In closing, the point is, laws are bro-ken everywhere by just about everyone,and the littering of any article is mostappalling to us both. This is a sad situa-tion and we agree with you, Judith, thatsomething should be done about it.

Sanibel is too nice a place to coverwith litter of any kind, by anyone, butlet's not single out the nudists. You saythat leader-cutting mackerel frustrateyou more than the nudists, but

methinks the nudists do bother you andyou are using these other offenses to tryto rid the beach of them.

If any of the residents of Sanibelwould like to write to us pertaining tothis situation, please do so. We wouldbe interested-in how you feel. To thegood folks at The Islander, please feelfree to give our address to anyone whowould like to respond to this matter.

Food ForThought

By Paul Gaeta

Ratatouille, the summer harvest dish, is a perfect filling forlasagna. Saute together zucchini, eggplant, red and greenpeppers. Set aside. In a saucepan, sizzle an onion, thensimmer with a 28-ounce can tomatoes. Build layers of noodles,vegetables, sauce and grated mozzareila. Bake.

* * *To keep Bloody Mary cocktails from turning watery and bland,you can freeze cubes of spiced-up tomato juice beforehand.

* * *There's nothing easier than honey-orange chicken. Arrangeseasoned chicken pieces in a baking dish and top with 1/3 cuporange juice combined with 2 Tbs. honey, 2 tsp. soy sauce and1/2 tsp. ginger. Bake 50 to 55 minutes at 375, adding orangeslices the last 15 minutes.

* * *Skewer marinated scallops with squares of red and yellow bellpepper and grill briefly-about fives minutes total. Simplysuperb!

* * *Who says salad has to be green? We love a combination ofsliced red potatoes, red leaf lettuce, red Belgian endive,radicchio, sliced beets and red onion. Toss with red-winevinaigrette, of course.

harmony.A splendid letter from Gus Pappas

of Sanibel to Lou Hinds, whichappeared in the local papers concerningthe use of Abate (making Sanibel habit-able and safe for over 25 years)... Letus not forget that aside from the nui-sance problem, mosquitoes causemalaria and encephalitis, which arelife-threatening to humans ... The sizeof the refuge makes up approximatelyone third of the land mass of Sanibeland one of the largest mosquito breed-ing areas on the island. As such, youredict to ban the use of Abate has asevere impact on those of us who liveon the rest of the island.

In the June 21 issue of The Islander,William Opp of the LCMCD gives acompelling case for the use of Abate.By contrast, your article offers no proofthat any wildlife (except mosquitoes)have been harmed by Abate. It onlyrefers to the department's unsubstanti-ated policy statement. On this basis,you and your department are forcing usresidents and taxpayers to endure dis-comfort, not venture outside and a besusceptible to a potential health hazardso an experiment of some less effectiveand more costly agents are tried. So,we are to be put at risk of health tomake sure that no wildlife "might beharmed," signed C. Gus Pappas,Sanibel.

Mr. Honest, you don't write asthough you might be a taxpayer. Theypay the costs for the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service. I am a 10-year tax-payer helping pay those costs.

You inquire why I moved toSanibel? Because, at that time it was arare, unique, more primitive island ofshells. I am a conservationist when itcomes to shells (and on our island, Idon't know of any poisonous ones yet -unless Tucker is brewing some in aresearch bowl!)

Mr. Honest, something good andbeneficial comes out of disgusting mat-ters - even a letter that some peopleappreciated, because ABATE has beenrestored for awhile.

Please take a good long look at thecity of Sanibel's seal, with its loftyideals for all: taxpayer, tourist andhappy shell-seekers like me. The keyword is harmony. And the keynote is"quality of life" ... "for we humanbeings".

Education should beour most importantasset for the futureTo the editorThe Islander

We can't predict what might happenin the future but, we can take educatedsteps to, maybe, help ourselves in thefuture. One way to do that is througheducation. Education should be ourmost important asset for the future.

"Wildflowers", a grass roots organi-zation founded to help our local schoolchildren have the tools necessary tobecome our future leaders, would liketo have the entire community becomeinvolved in its September to Marchprogram. Our objective is to raisemoney in order to purchase lap topcomputers for use as a check-outlibrary item through the SanibelElementary School. This will enableour students to have their parents checkout a computer so that the student canbecome computer literate at home.

Imagine what type of education wewould have received if we didn't havetext books to take home. Unfortunately,computers cost a heck of a lot morethan a text book thus the reason for"Wildflowers." .

Even though over 30 percent of ourstudents are in an economic conditionthat will never allow them to see acomputer at home, this program willhelp all students.

One way all Sanibellians andCaptivans can help, aside from dona-tions of money and/or computers, is tohave dinner at The Timbers Restaurantor the Sanibel Grill during the week ofAug. 22 through Aug. 28. Both restau-rants will be donating a percentage oftheir sales to the "Wildflowers" pro-gram for the benefit of The SanibelElementary School students.

Matt Asen., proprietor of TheTimbers will also take an extra step byoffering a "Back To School Special"where parents and students who savetheir receipts from The Timbers orSanibel Grill during this week can thenturn those receipts in to the school bySept. 1 upon which Matt Asen will per-sonally donate 10 percent of the totalaccumulated receipts from the schoolto the "Wildflowers" program. This isin addition to the money donated by thetwo restaurants.

This is a perfect chance for the com-munity to enjoy an excellent meal andhelp each other in the process. I strong-ly urge every member of this communi-ty to partake in Mr. Asen's offer to helpby having dinner at The Timbers or theSanibel Grill during the week of Aug.

22 through the 28.In the months to come

"Wildflowers" expectsmore community involve-ment and will notifyeveryone through pressreleases and newspaperstories. In September wehope to bring you anapparel campaign and inOctober, Bailey'sComplete Supermarketwill be doing a casrf reg-ister receipt campaign(more on that in a fewweeks).

In the meantime, if anyother businesses wouldlike to participate, pleasecontact me at 395-0278.We can have fun and helpeach other at the sametime! Anyone who wouldlike to volunteer to helpwith making contacts,please call me too!

Remains of slaughtered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles foundBy Jeff HardisonSpecial to The Islander

The remains of a slaughtered Kemp's Ridley seaturtle were discovered on Don Pedro Island nearGasparilla Monday, Aug. 15, bringing the toll of"suspicious deaths" to three for the number of turtlebodies found on bridgeless barrier islands recently.

Brenda Starr, a member of the turtle patrol onDon Pedro Island, said she thinks these decapita-tions and flipper removals are the work of people.Starr is among the people in the area who are certi-fied to check on turtle nesting sites.

Don Pedro Park Ranger Linda Hose and Starrfound two loggerhead sea turtle heads and theKemp's Ridley sea turtle head. They found the bod-ies of two turtles, with flippers removed, Starr said.

Starr discovered the head of a loggerhead on thebeach at Palm Island Resort July 28. Hose found aloggerhead sea turtle's head on property just southof Don Pedro Island State Park, on Little GasparillaIsland, on Aug. 6.

Hose went to Starr to report the discovery. WhenHose and Starr returned to the area where the ranger

saw it, the head was gone.Allen Foley, a researchassociate with the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection's Marine ResearchInstitute, said it is possible that people killed theseprotected species.

State law provides a maximum jail sentence of60 days and a $500 fine for any person convicted ofkilling an endangered sea turtle.

Federal law provides a civil penalty of $25,000.A federal criminal penalty of $50,000 and one yearin a federal penitentiary is the maximum sentencefor people who kill sea turtles.

The Kemp's Ridley, Foley said, is the mostendangered species of sea turtle.

The recent slaughter of sea turtles may haveoccurred to allow a person to use turtle flippers forfood, Starr said.

A person who hates sea turtles may have per-formed this senseless act, Foley added. Foley hasfound sea turtles with bullet holes in them. Theseare the first reports of violent sea turtle deaths onthe west coast this year that Foley has learned of, hesaid.

He monitors licensed permit holders, who areallowed to touch sea turtles on the west coast ofFlorida.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity around asea turtle or a sea turtle nest is asked to call theFlorida Marine Patrol at 1-800-DIAL-FMP. Thatnumber is 1-800-342-5367.

"There is nothing wrong with reporting suspi-cious activity to the Florida Marina Patrol," Foleysaid. "Sometimes, when I'm handling a sea turtle, Iwish people would call. Then, I would know theyare watching."

Starr said another species of sea turtle, the greenturtle, has made four nests on Don Pedro Island.Another two nests are confirmed on the state parkproperty on the same island.

It appears to be a good year for nesting logger-head sea turtles on the west coast as well, accordingto reports.

Sea turtles are a species endangered by extinc-tion. Anyone with information about people molest-ing or killing sea turtles is asked to call the FloridaMarine Patrol.

San Carlos Boulevard widening project set to begin Oct. 1By Patty Jacobs-BernardoSpecial to The Islander

More than a half dozen officialsfrom the Florida Department ofTransportation and Lee County metwith interested Fort Myers Beach citi-zens Monday, Aug. 15, to discuss theupcoming San Carlos Boulevardwidening project.

FDOT engineers taped down photo-copied aerial views of the constructionsite on the conference table top at theFort Myers Beach Chamber ofCommerce conference room, where cit-izens came to ask questions.

About 20 interested beach residentsand business owners stopped by during;the two-hour workshop.

Lee County Chief Traffic EngineerJohn Davis said, "This project will starton Main Street at the foot of the bridgeon the east side. There is a lot of utilityinvolvement in this project."

He continued, "The project involvesthe replacement of drain lines, whichwill be done at the same time. We don'twant to have the classic situation ofjust finishing the project and then see-ing the roadway torn up again for utili-ty lines."

would be blocked or hindered."Absolutely not," Davis said. "Our

top priority is to have the lease amountof disruption to local businesses."

Traffic engineers said that a newtraffic light will be added at San CarlosBoulevard and Buttonwood, and thelight at Pine Ridge Road will be recon-figured.

No more rights-of-way will betaken, Davis said.

"We have acquired the small amountof right-of-way we needed at some ofthe curved area of the road, but nomore property will be taken for theimprovements," he stressed.

Because San Carlos Boulevard doesnot have curbs in many places, manybusiness Owners think their propertyruns right'to the edge of the road. Infact, many of them use this area forparking and much of that space will beused for the five-lane improvement.The placement of utility poles tellswhere the right of way is, according toMike Rippe, FDOT project coordinator.

The project is slated to begin Oct. 1,when the Notice to Proceed is issued toFlorida Underground Construction Co.The project is scheduled to take 460

mangroves grow but they will not dis-turb the wetlands that are adjacent tothe road, according to Rippe.

"The project between Main Streetand Hurricane Pass will go ratherquickly - about six months," Rippeadded.

Businesses with existing drivewaysonto San Carlos Boulevard will receivedriveway aprons and curbs and guttersinto their establishments, according toRob Register, operations administratorfor FDOT.

Construction barricades, temporarypaving, temporary striping and policecontrol where traffic signals are dis-abled will assure that the project runsas smoothly as possible, Rippe said.

The project will cost $5.1 million,but that does not include the cost of thenew traffic signal. It does include bicy-cle lanes and sidewalks on both sides,however.

Concerns about the traffic backingup at the bridge, which is only one lanein either direction, were expressed byjust about all of the local residents whoattended the meeting.

Debbie Towers, FDOT public infor-mation officer, responded by saying,"The road had to stop somewherewhether it's at the beach or at thebridge. Besides, look at how quicklypeople will be able to leave the beachonce they get over the bridge."

State inspectors will be at the con- days to complete, according to Davis

Island conservation council hears refuge, SGGF,CROW9 alligator count updates at monthly meetingBy Anne BellewIslander staff writer

The J.N."Ding" Darling National Wildlife Con-servation Council met with fewer than its normalcomplement of organizational representativesThursday, Aug. 18.

Lou Hinds, J.N. "Ding" Darling National WildlifeRefuge manager, announced that Thomas MarineConstruction had begun work on the two water con-trol structures slated for repair this year. The projectis being funded jointly by the city of Sanibel, LeeCounty Mosquito Control and the Fish & WildlifeService.

"The work needs to be done before the migratorybirds arrive in great numbers," he said.

Plans are for Wildlife Drive to remain openthroughout the two weeks required to do the work,but visitors to the refuge should be aware that therewill be equipment and trucks on the roadway, someof them moving against traffic.

He also reported that long overdue work on theVisitor Center air conditioning system would startThursday, Sept. 1, and would necessitate sporadicclosings of at least the exhibit area of the center, ifnot the whole building.

"They are replacing the system itself as well as theassociated ducts, which means that ceilings will beremoved from the exhibit area and the office," hesaid. "The goal is to keep as much of the center openas possible while the work is going on. The sales areaand auditorium will not be affected structurally, butthey also won't have air conditioning, just large fansto keep the air moving. When the Visitor Center deskis not open, volunteers will be staffing the booth atthe base of the ramp to dispense information."

Alligator countSeveral people reported and commented on the

first of two alligator counts (August and September),the numbers from which were slightly above lastyear's initial survey at 62 reptiles on the regularroutes (Sanibel River, the Dunes, Gulf Pines and sev-eral other areas) and 13 in the refuge. Last year'sAugust totals included a higher number in the refuge(21) but fewer (44) on the routes.

There was a marked increase in the Gulf Pines-Gulf Shores area which surprised and pleased TimGardner who has been in charge of the annual countfor the past five years.

"I was really concerned about that area," he said."There used to be anywhere from three to ten alliga-

Audubon takes stand on issuesBy Anne BellewIsland® Staff Writer

Thdtfeoard of the Florida Audubon Society actedrecently on two issues of concern to conservation-minde4jf voters.

On July 24, in the first action, the society voted tosuppofl 1000 Friends of Florida and the FloridaLeagujj'of Women Voters in their opposition to the

gnt of the following four amendments on thesr ballot:

3ter approval of new taxes - Should new taxestoter approval in this state?ix limitation - Should two-thirds vote be| for new constitutionally-imposed taxes/fees?pperty rights - Should government compen-lers when damaging the value of homes or

pperty?jvenue limits - May people's amendments

government revenue be allowed to coverI subjects?

Thephumbers used above are just for clarity andare ndfthe official numbers for the amendments.

The* board also voted to join the other two organi-zations in filing briefs before the Florida SupremeCourt opposing placement of the amendments on theballot, and filing a Petition for Writ of Mandamus tothe court seeking to prohibit the secretary of statefrom certifying petitions which combine the fouramendments on a single petition form.

The second position adopted by the board was sup-port of the so-called Save Our Sealife amendment to

the Florida Constitution. The amendment would ineffect prohibit the use of gill or entangling nets in allFlorida waters and prohibit the use of other nets larg-er than 500 square feet in mesh area in near shore andinshore waters.

Citing the frustration expressed by many otherindividuals and organizations who have attempted to"go through proper channels" to get protective regu-lations for Florida's marine resources, the Florida Au-

tors in there and the last two years we've only foundtwo. This year 27 were counted. That's about whatthe count was in 1985, the first year the survey wasdone."

Mark "Bird" Westall who with his wife Janie usu-ally surveys the Sanibel River from Island Inn Roadto Rabbit Road by canoe, reported sighting only onealligator before having to discontinue his count at theObservation Tower because "it was like trying to pad-dle across a wet sponge. Bill Mills who does part ofthe Panama Canal area and usually has the highestaverage only saw five. It's really been dry."

Several people commented that the relatively newBeachview pond and the Gulf Pines section were theonly places with significant water and that water iswhat the mammoth reptiles look for, particularly dur-ing the hot summer months.

"Just wait till we get a period of really good rain,"Westall speculated, "bet we'll see them movingaround this island en masse, going back to their oldhaunts."

SCCF reportErick Lindblad, representing the Sanibel-Captiva

Conservation Foundation, reported that the sea turtlenesting period is over and that the early morning-latenight surveys are now for hatchings. "We've had veryfew reports of disorientation (hatchlings going towardbeach-front lights instead of toward the water) and nonest disturbances, despite the fact that we moved veryfew nests away from congested areas. We've hadsome raccoon predation and some predation by fireants but, in general, it's been a very good year."

He went on to tell about a mitigation grant in theJohnston Tract that is requiring a local developer toclear the area around a 1 1/2 acre pond on the SCCFproperty.

CROW updateJohn Kubisz, DVM, the director of Care &

Rehabilitation of Wildlife, thanked the USF&W for,as he put it, "finally actually giving us the grant wegot months ago to get rid of Brazilian pepper onCROW property! The board of CROW has voted thatthe number one priority for next year is to get thepepper out all the way back to the river."

Kubisz also wants to re-establish a gopher tortoisecolony that was once thriving on the property. It maybe that the refuge's Hinds will be able to help withthat project also.

The rehabilitation hospital presently has foureagles in residence and three ospreys.

"We don't have the facilities for that many largebirds. You can't put them all in one flight cage andyou can't put a healthy, flying one in with birds thatare permanently crippled," Kubisz said.

He also reported on taking the now almost-adultotter that Debbie Kubisz has been raising from infan-cy to Canada with them on vacation so he could learnto be a real otter, instead of a furry human.

"It was amazing!" Kubisz said. "He immediatelystarted learning to fish and soon had one stashed onthe bank. Several gulls came around eying his catchand he knew to run them off. He'd go back and checkhis fish every once in awhile until he was ready toeat. He liked pike better than perch."

He continued, "Seeing all those instincts comeright to the surface was just wonderful. If we'd hadanother week, we would have left him up there."

InternationalReal Estate

Somewhere out there is an internationalbuyer looking for a property just like yours. Theprice is right, the space in the house, the type ofarchitecture - even the lifestyle that it repre-sents. The hard part is matching up the propertyand the foreign prospect.

You could put a for sale sign on the lawn andhope the right vacationer/potential buyer mighthappen by. A local newspaper ad might havewider circulation. But it could take forever -and a lot of uncomfortable visits with mis-matches or unqualified buyers.

There's a better way. When you list with aninternational broker you get several advantages.First, the prospective buyer expects that the bro-ker can show an appropriate property. That'swhere buyers look first. Then there is the exper-tise of the international real estate agent whospends time interviewing the foreign prospect todetermine just the right kind of property. If yourhouse is right, we'll show it. If not, we don'tbother you. The extra-added advantage is yourhome's exposure to the foreign market!Prospects are seeing your property before everboarding a plane.

enactment of the amendment will address either com-prehensively or equitably the fisheries managementneeds of the state, the document continues that theissue is not whether the amendment is the preferredalternative or an ideal form of law or even whethersome other approach might be better.

" "The singular relevant question is whether the pro-tection of marine resources and the environment willbe better served by a 'yes' or vno' vote on the propo-sition as presented on the ballot," Audubon stated.

According to Audubon board member and Sanibelresident Bob Slayton, "When you look at it that way,there are some significant benefits that will result ifthe people vote 'yes.' Elimination of entangling gearwill reduce the number of ensnarements, deaths orinjuries (usually unintentional) suffered by some

Former Corps district engineer to head SouthFlorida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force

The Jacksonville District U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers hosted a change of command ceremonyAug. 5 transferring the responsibility of districtengineer from Col. Terrence C. "Rock" Salt to Col.Terry L. Rice.

Salt departs following a three-year assignmentin Jacksonville during which the district coordinat-ed federal involvement in the response and recov-ery effort following Hurricane Andrew. The dis-trict also increased its involvement in environmen-

tal ecosystem restoration and recovery areas.Salt's next assignment will be as executive

director of the Department of the Interior's newly-formed South Florida Ecosystem Restoration TaskForce, His appointment re-enforces the corps'commitment to the protection and restoration ofthe nation's natural resources and highlights soon-to-be-implemented changes in methods of federalland management - a team approach among agen-cies instead of competition.

marine animals such as turtles, manatees and porpois-es, to name a few.

"So-called vby-catch' will be reduced. The fish andother marine life forms not retained for processingand often killed in the netting and retrieval processwhich, in turn, supply an important link in the foodchain for other forms of marine life. And, by thesame token, an increase in the numbers of certainspecies of fish that are important components to thepredators at the top of the food chain should result.Netting is the only practical method for the captureof, for example, mullet, herring and other baitfishwhich are important food sources to a number ofbirds like ospreys, pelicans and eagles."

Slayton concluded, "It was a very difficult deci-sion. The final position paper was something like thesixth or seventh draft we discussed. I would ventureto say that when we left Casselberry (the location ofthe society's headquarters), we all still had reserva-tions about this form of regulation as well as aboutthe ultimate results of a constitutional amendment."

Madness withthe 'ZiegfeldFollies' of '57

Last week, I had just taken my seat in a the-ater in Washington, D.C., the house lightswere dimming and the overture was justbeginning.

I tried to take a few notes as the show pro-gressed from scene to scene. Beatrice Lilliehad the audience roaring with laughter. BillyDe Wolfe was his usual wonderful self. Hewas a true delight as Mrs. Murgatroyd, whousually got blind drunk in a corner bar. In thefollies she was in a supermarket sketch withMiss Lillie.

The two stars had a ball with a sketchcalled "Milady Dines Alone." Lillie dinedalone at a huge table eating a lobster, servedby her butler, De Wolfe. With each course DeWolfe got progressively drunker as he tasted,toasted and drank wine with the lady of themanor who continued devouring her lobsterwhile wearing long white gloves.

Show BizAs it WuzBy Frank Wagner

In a very funny sketch, "High and Flighty,"Lillie played an airline stewardess. It was purecamp and sheer madness. She constantly madepronouncements to the passengers of a littleexpected turbulence, the certain gloom anddoom to be encountered during the flight,crash landing instructions in case of theinevitable engine trouble, how to cope with anemergency evacuation and all of the other pos-sible impending disasters that might occur inthe air or while landing.

In "Song of India," the first act finale, sheplayed the imperial princess and made herentrance sliding down the royal banister.During the number she was carried around ona bed of nails, then posed on a couch as babydoll.

She was a shameless clown and would doanything for a laugh. She constantly changedand added business to the certain chagrin ofher fellow performers.

Miss Lillie repeated her legendary moonfrolic and sang her well known "moon tune"while seated in a huge decorated curved halfmoon. The moon was mechanically crankedout over the first few rows in the orchestra. Asthe urge moved her, she would take off agarter and shoot it at some eager recipient.

The word had spread backstage like wild-fire that I was in the audience. It was a delightto see the dancers who knew me and spot mein the second row. Their faces would light upand as they moved upstage you could see theword being spread to other members of theensemble.

Jane Morgan, Micki Mario and CarolLawrence stopped the show in the second actwith "Salesmanship."

You would be hard pressed to find two bet-ter dancers than Harold Lang of BalletTheater, Pal Joey and many other Broadwayshows. And Helen Wood, who had been danc-ing professionally since she was a teenager.She had a bag full of tricks and flawless tech-

2B THE ISLANDER Tuesday: Aug. 23.1994Tuesday;? Auo. T;Hg;tSLAJ4BER ,v3B

Is this the year the islands get hit by a hurricane? Ark shells are common on the islands' beachesWe are monitoring the weather channel almost

hourly now, watching for swirling masses to forminto tropical storms or even hurricanes. It's that timeof the year when anyone who lives here becomes justa little uneasy.

We are all wondering if this is the year of thedirect hit, or will they slide past, sparing our littleisland? Someone said we have it better than someparts of the country, where earthquakes or tornadoesstrike without warning.

Now we can watch on television as a tropical wavebecomes a depression and then possibly a hurricane.It was just two years ago this month that HurricaneAndrew swept south of us.

We travel down to the Florida Keys each May for afew days of vacation and we travel through the backroads of Homestead, taking the short cut to KeyLargo rather than going through Miami.

A year ago much of the community still lookedlike a bombed-out war zone. House after house hadsevere roof damage, or no roof at all. Many houseshad the words, "You Loot, We Shoot" spray paintedon the sides. There was also the name of some insur-ance company scrawled there, too.

This summer, our trip was again through the ruralcountry of this farmland southwest of Miami. Nowyou see house after house with bright new roofs. Thefoliage is back on most of the trees and there are newplantings all over town.

Yet, on the side roads, miles of dumped trash fromthe clean-up is still evident. Plastic bags are wrappedtightly, high in the trees along the road.

ON THEWATERBy Capt. Mike Fuery

I take two families out shelling and they livedthrough Andrew. Now one has moved up to centralFlorida and the other will follow this fall. Both werelong-time residents of South Florida and both fami-lies will never ride out another hurricane inHomestead.

We are currently tracking a storm between Africaand South America. The weather people are calling itChris. Perhaps by the time you read this, it will be afull hurricane. If not that, then the next storm will beone. It's that time of theyear.

We buy a few extracandles each time weshop and we are startingto top off spare fuel tanksand check the plywood,wondering if it's enoughto protect the house fromthe winds.

Those of us with boatsstart inspecting the auto-matic bilge pump to make

sure it's working and we gather extra dock lines to bestored on board, just in case.

We went to about half a dozen stores before locat-ing the old standard kerosene burning lantern. Theseare as good as the Coleman lanterns and much lessexpensive. The trouble is, hardly anyone sellskerosene anymore. Hardware stores sometimes stocka scented version of kerosene. They are sold by thepint or quart and will burn nicely in the new lantern.

Still, no one is really prepared for a hurricane. Thebest thing is to get on a plane and get up north andride it out there. With everyone very hurricane shy inSouth Florida, thousands of cars will be on the roads,headed north. Chances are, you'll spend most of thehurricane stuck in traffic.

For the next few weeks, the most popular stationon radio or television will be the weather channel.And the big unanswered question will be: Are wegoing to get it this year?

What's the most commonly found shell on SanibelIsland's Beach? Probably the tiny, living coquinashells would, in sheer numbers, be first, but secondplace has to be the family of ark shells. Two of thesearks are worth carefully searching for as you walk thebeaches.

Two arks, the transverse and the ponderous, arevery common shells on our beaches. Sometimes theyare all you can find.

The ponderous has a black covering on the outeredge and many people, at first, think the shell hasbeen in an oil spill. That's just the way it grows andeven this common shell, if found with both sides, isworth a spot on your collection table.

The ponderous might reach two inches, but the lit-tle transverse ark is half that size.

The transverse has just a slight darkened outer lipand is mostly white. All arks are edible - if you'rethat desperate. The amount of food inside such asmall clam is hardly measurable.

The two which collectors look for are the turkeywing and the mossy ark.

The two are easily confused, because of similar

markings and colors. These are nearly rectangular inshape on both sides of the body.

The turkey wing, also called a zebra ark, has dis-tinct stripes on the sides. It can reach about 2-3 inchesin length. The mossy ark is about half that size.

How can you tell the difference between a halfgrown turkey wing and a fully developed mossy ark?

The mossy will have a more pronounced hump onthe top of its shell, near the hinge, and it will usuallybe a light color, compared to the rest of the shell.

It's not difficult to find halves of these shells butthe trick is to come up with both sides still attached.This can happen at times during winter storms whenhundreds of shells are washed to the beach with

strong seas.Speaking of zebra, do you recall the invasion of

the zebra mussel? This is a freshwater clam which iscausing all sorts of problems with water suppliesfrom the Great Lakes to nearly north Florida.

It seems the little zebras like to clog intake lines ofwater plants and are causing a lot of expense to citiestrying to make water for people.

However, the other day I had another person fromChicago say that the beach waters along the shorethere have never been cleaner or clearer, thanks towhat many believe are the filtering abilities of thezebra.

It will be interesting to find if this little mussel isthe saviour or the devil of our water supplies. It mightbe highly optimistic to assume that the shells willsolve water pollution problems for rivers and lakes sohard hit with bad water.

Good shelling this week and please observe thelive shelling limit. Many concerned with shell popu-lations would ask that you not take any living shells.

Capt. Mike Fuery is a professional shelling and fishingguide.

Dolphin rescue attempt off Gasparilla failsBy Jeff HardisonSpecial to The Islander

A stranded bottlenose dolphin died while beingtake from Gasparilla Island to Mote MarinaLaboratory Tuesday night, Aug. 16, despite an extra-ordinary rescue attempt by volunteers and FloridaMarine Patrol officers.

Louie Pierson and volunteers from Amber LakeWildlife Rescue, Rehabilitation and Refuge ofEnglewood, retrieved the porpoise from the surf ofthe Gulf of Mexico at the west end of 17th Street onGasparilla Island.

Florida Marine Patrol officers Donna Caro andcontacted Pierson just after 8 p.m. Aug. 16, he said.Roy Waldorf took his Royal Pools truck, becausePierson's "mammamulance" is not in service yet.Revis Flowers of Boca Grande was at the beach nearBayard Sharp's estate when Waldorf, Louie Pierson,Rhonda Pierson, and Amber Lake Youth Auxiliarymembers Megan Hays and Riley Pierson arrived.

Calvin Coggins of Avon Park and Konan Stephensof Ohio found the stranded dolphin at about 7:20 p.m.They called FMP.

The dolphin was about 6-feet, 4-inches long. Itwas very thin, weighing about 150 pounds.

Pierson took the bottlenose dolphin from the surfand found its left eye was injured and it had a "death

rattle." The muscle structure in its throat had becomeflaccid, Pierson said.

This rattling noise is a sign of the marine mammalbeing in serious distress.

After stabilizing the animal, the stranded dolphinwas on its way to Mote Marine Laboratory inSarasota. Jeff Brown of the National Marine FisheriesCommission told Pierson Mote had space availablefor the injured mammal.

Barry King, another Amber Lake volunteer, andFlorida Department of Environmental ProtectionMarine Mammal Stranding Biologist Tom Pitchfordmet the rescuers at Amber Lake.

The dolphin died as Waldorf turned on the VeniceBypass near McDonald's, about an hour away fromMote Marine. It was about 10:10 p.m. when themarine mammal died, he said.

Pierson said biologistsasked him to draw bloodfor research.

Pierson left his kit atAmber Lake. King hadWaldorf drive to VeniceHospital, where King'swife, Linda, works.Blood was drawn in theparking lot of the emer-

gency room for the hospital — within about five min-utes of the animal's death.

"The dolphin was extremely emaciated, suggestiveof a long-term illness or problem," said JayGorzelany, coordinator of the Mote Marine MammalStranding program.

Pierson and volunteers went to Mote MarineLaboratory, where they had just received a pygmysperm whale. The Amber Lake team was allowed tosee the whale after delivering the dolphin.

A necropsy will be performed to determine whatkilled the male dolphin. It had an estimated agebetween 18 months and three years.

Mote's Marine Mammal Stranding program relieson volunteers, as does the Amber Lake program. Thenumber to call to volunteer for Mote's program is(813)388-2369.

A retrospective look atthe New Arts Festival '94and its numerous bountiesBy Frank WagnerIslander staff writer

This year's New Arts Festival '94 made giantstrides. I saw every concert -18 in all - and can attestto the fact that many bold and exciting projects cameto full bloom in the fifth year of this special festival.

It was a festival season of miraculous happenings.What a pleasure it was to be a part of it. And it wasdoubly sweet after following the festival from its firstyear birth pangs through its ensuing three years ofgrowth.

One marvelous thing about a festival of this type isthe incentive and freedom to intermix the artistic dis-ciplines: dance, chamber music and drama.Innovators can let their creative urges soar.

Another important factor, you don't have to satisfythe demands of the commercial market. The glint ofan idea may be taken to total realization and fall a tadshort of its expectations.

The results?Fortunately, not disastrous, but the creators have

benefited from seeing an idea produced and realizewhere changes are needed.

All of these facts help to justify the festival's newmotto: "Redefining the American Arts FestivalExperience."

Dalton and Hartel In "The Second Circle."

After a year's absence, the Drama Division headedby Victor Talmadge, opened the season with a power-ful drama "The Gate of Heaven." This gripping playwas written and performed by Talmadge and LaneNishikawa.

Both actors took full advantage of the many possi-ble situations that could come from an interracialfriendship between a victim of the holocaust who wasrescued by a Japanese American soldier.

Talmadge played the holocaust victim, LeonEhrlich, with a touching reality.

Nishikawa's character, known as Sam to hisfriends, was totally compelling. His rapport with anaudience was immediate.

The message of the play deserves to be brought toa wide audience. It would be an ideal project for PBStelevision.

The festival's Dance Division had a banner year.For me the initial pyrotechnics happened in the firstFaculty Collage Concert. It was a solo "Black Elk -The Vision" performed by Matthew Rodarte (a mem-ber of the Parsons Dance Company) that caused all ofthe excitement.

The Dance Duo of Dalton/Hartel presented theworld premier of "Harmonie Arlene." This uniqueand daring presentation fully utilized the musicians

Anton Miller and Lawrence Koernig as on stageaccompaniment and dancing partners. The numberwas inspired by the imagery in the paintings of MarcChagall.

The piece had been planned by the artists involvedfor two years. Contributions from New Arts Festivalpatrons made it possible for several months rehearsalin New York.

The movement expertise from the musicians wasastounding and of course Lisa Dalton and AustinHartel are nearing status as the eight wonders of thedancing world.

There is unbelievable ease as they perform eachextraordinary feat of physical strength, balance andleverage.

Dalton/Hartel were the unmistaken hits of theFaculty Gala presented at the Barbara B. MannPerforming Arts Hall on the final festival night.

An evening of dance with the Miami-based"DanceWave" left me strangely unfulfilled. DancersElaine Wright and Gary Lund were exceptionallygifted but I was not impressed with the company'srepertoire.

A review

Festival's finalperformancesare interesting

By Frank WagnerIslander staff writer

In many ways the consistent excellence ofmost of the New Arts Festival's previous con-certs eclipsed the impact of the two final GalaPerformances. Both the student and faculty galashad their high spots. But in both gala perfor-mances, the contributions from the DramaDepartment were a tad baffling and left audi-ences dazed and unfilled. More about that later.

Student Gala,.<--"" Arcade Theater

Friday, Aug. 12The Music Department got the evening off to

an excellent beginning.Violinist Lisa Ramirez and pianist Yvonne

Lau played a rather staid, unemotional renditionof Beethoven Sonata in F Major.

Brahms Piano Quartet in C min (Adagio) wasnicely performed by violinist Charmian Stewart,violist Barbara Beechey, cellist XI Chen withKristen Nakagowa at the piano. The cello soloswere neatly executed by Chen.

Mendelssohn's Piano Trio in C Minor show-cased the talents of violinist David Todd, cellistRachael Brown and especially the excellentpiano technique of Esther Cheng.

The musical portion of the evening closedwith a masterful ensemble playing of theBeethoven Quartet Op. 59 by violinistsCharmian Stewart and Eric Pritchard, violistBarbara Beechey and cellist XI Chen.

Faculty member Pritchard may have giventhis group added confidence. Nevertheless, theirinterpretation was technically sound and emo-tionally satisfying;

After a short intermission the DramaDepartment presented students in an originalplay by Erik Ehn, "Totem" (a work in progress).It was directed by Victor Talmadge, head of the

Bounties continued from page 4B

The next startling discovery of the festival wasRobert Battle (a new member of the Parsons DanceCompany). His solo performance of "Crying" tomusic by Roy Orbison and choreography by GerriHoulihan was, in two words, liquid gold. He hasbeautiful body lines, a great kinship with space, legextensions that seem to be unending and an uncannygift of musicianship.

The David Parsons Dance Company proved whyits worldwide reputation is soaring. A powerful andfulfilling evening of dance might best describe thecompany's performance at Barbara B. MannPerforming Arts Hall to benefit the Lee County AIDSTask Force.

The performance of Parsons emotionally charged"Ring Around the Rosie" was the highlight of theevening. A highly complex series of choreographedmoves filled his dance/drama with the horrors ofhuman misunderstandings and man's inhumanity toman, especially during plagues, past and present(AIDS).

Fortunately, Parsons (who dances Black Death)manages to leave us with a message of hope and aglimmer of belief that regardless of what, mankindwill survive.

Parsons' signature piece "Caught" was danced atthe Mann Hall by Christopher Kirby and at theArcade Theater by Jamie Martinez. Both performerswere magnificent.

The matinee program by the Parsons company atthe Arcade Theater closed with one of my favoritedance pieces, "Nascimento." This choreographicgem, choreographed by Parsons himself, is one of thegreatest examples of how and why dancers revel bymoving in space. It also glows with the pure joy ofwhat it means to dance.

The Music Division, under the guidance of JamesGriffith, moved into high gear during this year's festi-val. The Diaz Trio featuring David Kim (violin)Roberto Diaz (violist) and cellist Andres Diaz gave aconcert filled with technical prowess, performanceflair and sparkling tempos. One can readily see whythis group-of-superior musicians has~become one of-the most sought after chamber music ensembles inthe United States.

The musical duo Anton Miller and LawrenceZoernig, having proven themselves as also a dancingduo, proceeded to affirm their musical excellence inconcert and as solo performers.

Eric Pritchard (violin) and Scott Rawls (viola)proved time and again their performance know-how.

I must give a special nod to Maria Kitsopoulos, thecellist who can and will try anything.

Who else would perform so magnificently whileperched on top of a concert grand piano?

Maria did!Who else would slap that cello in a country west-

ern number?Maria did!Who else would risk playing cello while perform-

ing a screeching vocalize of "Summertime" in animprovisation with dancer Christopher Kirby?

Maria did!No festival should be without its Maria!I could say almost the same thing for pianist Hugh

Sung.This year he was called upon to play piano, harpsi-

chord and harmonium, be a comedian with founderPatrician Gair as she calmed his festival burn-out andread a complicated story about which side of thebread the butter is on and in multiple voices. Youdevise it. Sung will do it!

Griffith's concept for a full evening of Vivaldi's"Four Seasons" with a large orchestra of musiciansand two soloists, Pritchard and Miller, was a resound-ing success.

The festival's musicians were/are fabulous per-formers and teachers but they also have an unusualand totally off-the-wall sense of humor, especiallyabout themselves.

The Drama Division tried many exciting and novelcombinations of drama, music and dance. Most ofthem were extremely successful and if nothing else,proved they are on the right path.

The .two original one-act presentations at theStudent and Faculty Gala may have been admirablein their concept, but for me they were off-putting inperformance. They represented good examples ofpretentious and esoteric drama, not usually to my lik-ing.

But, let's put aside the negative and accentuate thepositive.

Patricia Gair's New Arts Festival '94 has been acultural boon to Fort Myers and the surroundingareas. (A number of Sanibel's year round residentswere in attendance at many of the performances).

A membership drive and a loud and clear call forpatrons and volunteers is now under way for the NewArts Festival'95.

Enjoying another informative cooking course Final continued from page 4B

On Aug. 8, my husband Tom and I enjoyed anoth-er informative and stimulating cooking class atChadwick's Restaurant at South Seas Plantation onCaptiva. It is not only fun to learn but you meet fasci-nating people.

As an added attraction, you have a great chance totalk to your teachers: Executive Chef Gary fromKing's Crown, Executive Sous Chef David fromChadwick's, plus the very best pastry chef in thisarea, Mike. His dessert was splendid and I don't evenlike fancy desserts, but I fell for that one.

The next class is to be September 12. If you areinterested, and you should be, don't dilly dally, shillyshally or procrastinate. Go to your telephone, callChadwick's and sign up. This past class was not onlyfilled, but there was a waiting list. Where else canyou go and have an excellent dinner, good company,learn and have fun at the same time?

The restaurants at South Seas Plantation haveaccess to the very best and freshest fruits and vegeta-bles all the year round. Many come from the numer-ous farms on Pine Island.

This past class featured "Florida Cuisine" whichhappens to be the "in" food right now. There are anumber of local restaurants who do "Florida Cuisine"but none as well as the ones at South Seas.

The appetizer was a conch fritter (no, it was notlike eating minced elastic bands). The fritter wasserved with a delectable sauce. Next was a mangoand peach sorbet with candied plantain slices. (I havenever known what to do with plantains but ChefDavid explained where I had gone wrong). Thiscourse was followed by a green salad with orangesegments tossed with a citrus vinaigrette.

The best was yet to come: pan-seared yellow tailedsnapper served with a beautiful sauce of tequila,

Heat the clarified butter in a saute pan and placethe filet in the pan and cook to just brown it, turningonce. Do not over-cook the fish. Place the pan withthe fish in the oven for eight to 10 minutes, accordingto the thickness of the filet. Remove the fish from thecould you go wrong on a combination like that). to the thickness of the filet. Remove the fish frorr

Then came Chef Mike's "killer" dessert. It is sin- pan to a warm platter, cover it with foil and set itfully rich, but what a way to go! No, I am not giving aside. Place the pan back on the burner and add theyou the recipe as I have no intention of making it. Go jalapeno and shallots; let it sweat, do not brown. Addto Chadwick's and order it. You can diet the next fewdays.

Now for the entree recipe. If yellow tail is notavailable, use mahi mahi, grouper or another firmfleshed fish. The following recipe serves one or two,according to what your appetite is and what else youwill be serving. This dish was accompanied by PuertoRican rice and a variety of lightly sauteed vegetables.

Taste for fla-vor. You may want to add more salt and pepper. Pourthe sauce on a warm dinner plate and place the fish ontop. Serve with the rice and sauteed vegetables.

During the dinner, our wine glasses were neverallowed to be empty. (Not that we wanted them to bethat way). There was an endless flow of CorbetCanyon Chardonnay.

Now you should be enticed by the above. I certain-ly was and so was the rest of the class. Sign up for theSeptember class, you will love it. Hope to see youthere.

Drama Division."Totem" got off to a slow start. It began as a pre-

tentious piece of fluff and swiftly deteriorated into anuncomprehensive, ostentatious bit of claptrap.

The message, if any, was deeply wrapped invagaries dealing with American commercialism,prevalent masculine dominance and the steadfastbelief that anything is for sale, including yourself, ifthe price is right.

"Totem's" one successful and most interesting con-cept was the musical accompaniment composed andperformed by Ray Castrey.

Fortunately, a festival encourages experimentationand will support this type of venture.

The Dance Department spun into action andunleashed "Unmeasurable Distance" with choreogra-phy by Gail Gilbert, the head of the Dance Division.

Gilbert's choreography is always interesting andnever lacks design, form and function. I keep con-stantly waiting to become emotionally involved inone way or another but I always end up an untouchedadmirer.

On the other hand, Lonne Moretton's "ComeTogether" immediately captured my fancy. Thedancers moved with a well planned urgency. Theyseemed fiercely compulsive and competitive.

The dancers worked well together but there weretwo young ladies with striking movements and fasci-nating performance qualities that caused them toalways be in focus.

Summation: All in all, it was a very interestingevening but certainly not as totally satisfying as someof the earlier presentations.

New Arts Festival Gala(Featuring Faculty Members)

Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall,Saturday, Aug. 13

The Drama Department opened the show with ErikEhn's "Phorphyra" (A Mythic Beat Story in Process).It was directed by Victor Talmadge with music com-posed and performed by Ray Brooks.

The David Parsons Dance Company.

Faculty members Gloria Biegler, Erik Ehn,Michael French, Lane Nishikawa and Bill Randolphenthusiastically read their lines with as much panacheas possible.

The four brothers from the deep used wings ontheir heels in the form of skateboards to try and bringan action, tension and suspense to the proceedings. Ifear it was only a show of physical skill amounting tomuch ado about nothing.

I will not dwell on this precious bit of folkloretwaddle but one definite fact was solidly fixed in mymind, Lane Nishikawa is an expert actor and I wouldbe totally pleasured by seeing more of his work.

Dancers took center stage for the next segment. Itopened with "Someday" choreographed by GaryLund to music by The Benedictine Monks of SantoDomingo De Silos.

It proved to be a lovely piece danced extremely

well by Jane Carrington, Mia McSwain, RobertBattle, Chris Kirby and Amy Marshall.

The unison work was outstanding and there wereseveral exciting combinations featuring turns andjumps. The entire piece conveyed a feeling of circularmovement, meditative moods and an unending followthrough in arm and leg movements and extensions.

The miraculous dance duo of Dalton-Hartel movednicely into another dimension, one with the slightesthint of commercial musical theater.

For the first time they allowed an outsider tochoreograph a work for them. It was another properand fortunate mix and match. The choreographer wasLonne Moretton. He used the recorded music ofDianah Washington in three sections: "A Cottage forSale," "Blow Top Blues" and "111 Wind."

The choreography not only utilized their leverage,lift and strength techniques but gave them an oppor-tunity to dance as personalities.

Dalton-Hartel retained their oneness in certainmoves but also had the opportunity to display a bit ofthe individual personality of Lisa Dalton and AustinHartel.

From the applause and intermission comments onededucted "A Cottage for Sale" with Dalton andHartel was the unmistakable hit of the evening.

Gail Gilbert's "The Orphans Tale" to music byShostakovich was danced by Patricia Kenny, MathewRodarte and Gail Gilbert. The accompaniment wasplayed live on stage by pianist Hugh Sung, violinistEric Pritchard and cellist Maria Kitsopolous.

Here was a jolly bit of character work looselybased on a folk idiom. The three dancers (all Parson'sCompany dancers) worked extremely well togetherand portrayed light, saucy patterns of movement thatdelighted the audience.

The Music Department closed the program with anelegant, emotional and technically satisfying perfor-mance of the Brahms Sextet in B flat for Strings.

The faculty members who performed were AntonMiller, Eric Pritchard (violins), James Griffith, ScottRawls (violas), Lawrence Zoernig and Maria

Kitsopoulos (cellos).Their ensemble play-

ing had attained a highlevel of excellence. It hascome from a consistencyof working together andobviously from the love,mutual respect and espirtde corps that have beenthe dominant factors inthis year's festival.

nical excellence at her command. She used themboth with confidence and performance panache.

I talked with the producers Mark Kroll andCharles Conaway during intermission and the dealwas set. I would redo as much of the choreographyand staging as time allowed.

It was a bit awkward after the show as the pro-ducers had called the company on stage toannounce the current choreographer Edith Barstowwas being replaced. After the company's farewells,I was introduced to the cast as the new kid on theZiegfeld block.

Marsha, who was curjcently performing in "MostHappy Fellow," had been wise enough to pack afu]] set of rehearsal clothes and my trusty sneakers.

The first two numbers to be restaged were"Honorable Mambo" and "If You Got Music." Thelatter was a rather catchy upbeat tune, costumed inblack and white, featuring Lang and Wood. Afterwe opened in New York at the Winter GardenTheater, this was the one number that eventuallywas performed on the Ed Sullivan's famous Sundaynight TV revue "Toast of the Town."

The dance captain and my assistant choreograph-er was a wonderful person, Merritt Thompson. Hehad a mind like a steel trap, the memory of an ele-phant and was an excellent dancer and performer.

He couldn't have been more helpful and tried topoint out certain things that had not worked. Therewere sections where dancers were very uncomfort-able and large segments in which dancers had beengiven a pattern and count, the steps were to be filledin later. Needless to say, they hadn't been.

I first experienced this while restaging/thejrirstact finale, "Song of India." I asked one of the maledancers who had studied with me what he did in thenumber.

He replied, "You're not going to believe this, buthere it is.... I walk to stage right eight counts, thenhold 16 counts. Next, I move upstage left on a diag-onal line for 16 steps and hold for eight counts ..."

This continued through the entire number - nosteps but many counts in different directions andmultiple holds. Most of the other gentlemen in thechorus gave the same description of their dancingrole in "Song of India,"

The chorus girls and show girls had been givenseveral uncomplicated turns and a few step-togeth-er, step-together, then walk - one, two, three touchand hold. This was in part for their own protectionas Miss Lillie would plow through any barrier,human or otherwise, that stood in her path.

Before I go ahead with this episode, I mustexplain that many our sets and costumes were sal-vaged from an earlier Ziegfeld Follies starringTallulah Bankhead with choreography by JackCole. It had bombed in Philadelphia during tryoutsand never came into New York.

Our producers bought the entire production. Therefurbishing of the old and design and building ofsome new sets and costumes had cost the producersof the current edition a total of $300,000 to pro-

duce. This was a lot of money in 1957. In today'smarket that amount might be easily spent on thesetting and costumes for one scene with our eightshow girls.

Most of its severest critics in Washington andNew York were put off by the lack of opulenceand daring in sets and costumes. They hadexpected many more show girls and a cast ofthousands. Obviously they had no concernwith the weekly operating expenses or theshow's stop-gap clause (the amount one musttake in at the box office to make it worthwhile for the owners of the theater).

You should also be aware that the actor'sunion, Actors Equity Association, governsthe number of hours their members canrehearse while performing. They are quitelimited and even if a variance is granted,overtime can kill a budget.

The company was super. Most of thedancers had studied with me and did anything to make my job easier and faster.

"Honorable Mambo" got the firstattention. I choreographed a short varia-tions for four girls as a sort of moodpiece, in one, before going full stage.The four girls were Mary Jane Doerr,Wisa D'Orso, Julie Marlowe and Carol Lawrence.They were to be dressed in the same costume invarying colors as the beginning moves were unison.

You can imagine my surprise when the numberwas first used in the show and Lawrence "appearedin a magnificent geisha costume. It was brilliant redin color and totally different from the other threedancers.

I almost had an attack and charged up to produc-ers to question why. Their explanation: Lawrencehad come to them and asked for a different costumebecause she was a featured player and should not berequired to do unison steps with the chorus orappear in the same design as one worn by chorusmembers. This meant I had to make many changesand adjustments.

If she had only come to me and explained ormade some fuss immediately, I could have savedmyself and the cast hours of precious time.

Another lesson hard learned."Honorable Mambo" was always well received

and the dancers had a blast doing it.I think my greatest compliment came from Billy

De Wolfe, who I actively adored. After seeing it forthe first time in rehearsal clothes he came to me andexpounded on who much he liked the number.

He said, "If I had any idea it was going to be thisgreat, I would have insisted on being in it."

My response to Billy was, "If I had more time,I'd immediately take you up on your offer."

"If You Got Music" gave me the opportunity touse the fabulous techniques of Lang and Wood.There was nothing I devised that they couldn't exe-cute almost instantly. What fast learners they were.In no time at all they had physically assimilated

what I had choreographed and made it complete-ly their own.

Another Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer number,"Two A Day On The Milky Way," opened the sec-ond act. It was a tribute to show biz personalities,many from vaudeville, who were still performing"up their with the stars."

The rhythm was unmistakenly soft shoe, thelyrics were sentimental, the costumes were on thebutton for swift recognition. You couldn't miss WillRogers, Fanny Brice, Carmen Miranda, SophieTucker, Eddie Cantor, Al Johnson and many others.

Restaging the Ziegfeld Follies was an exhilarat-ing experience but I don't think I have ever been sototally exhausted - physically and mentally. I'veoften thought, if I had just one dollar for every legand muscle cramp during this period of time andinvested it well, I'd be on Easy Street today.

The Washington run soon came to an end and weentrained for our return to New York and theu icoming opening night at the Winter GardenT neater.

Marsha was aware of most everything that hadhappened as I had called her nightly and gave herthe daily rundown.

Let me tell you it was good to be back home on54th Street, only four and a half blocks from theStage Door of the Winter Garden.

Next week: Opening night and comments on the123 performances given by the cast and crew of theZiegfeld Follies '57 edition.

Funnel factsSanibel and Captiva Islands are not tornado proof - be prepared

By Anne BeliewIslander Staff Writer

Although Sanibel is not as subject to tornadoes assome other areas of Southwest Florida, tornadoes dooccasionally strike the island, and having good infor-mation about what to do is essential.

A Tornado Watch means that conditions are favor-able for tornadoes to develop. In the event of a watch,you should take precautions to protect you and yourproperty and listen to the radio to keep informed.Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the late after-noon on a hot spring day, but have occurred in everymonth at all times of the day or night. When a watchis issued, stay alert for changes in the weather and beprepared to act quickly.

When a watch is in effect you can take certain pre-cautions to minimize both danger and destruction ofproperty.

• Move cars inside a garage or carport, if possible,to avoid damage from hail or flying debris. Keep yourcar and house keys with you.

• Move lawn furniture and yard equipment insideif time permits. Otherwise they could become danger-ous projectiles.

• Account for family members at home and keepchildren and pets inside.

• Have emergency kit ready.• Keep your radio or TV tuned in to the weather

reports.A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has actu-

ally been sighted and if issued for your area, youshould seek shelter immediately. There is little timefor closing windows or hunting for flashlights, so it'sa good idea to keep the applicable parts of your hurri-cane preparedness kit packed all year 'round.

When a warning has been issued either on AlertRadio or TV, seek shelter immediately:

• At home - In a small room such as a closet orbathroom in the center of the house. Stay away fromoutside walls and windows;

• At work or school - In a designated shelter area.Stay away from large open rooms like auditoriumsand gyms and rooms with windows. Lie low withyour hands covering the back of your head and neck;

• In shopping malls - In a designated shelter areaor in the center of the building on the lowest level.Never seek shelter in cars in the parking lot;

• In mobile homes or cars - Leave the trailer orvehicle. Seek a safe structure or lie down in a lowarea with your hands covering the back of your headand neck.

After a tornado, keep calm. Stay in your shelter

Photographic evidenceVirginia Gray of Manassas, Va., was staying at Pointe Santo de Sanibel in mid-October 1993 when a tornadotouched down and damaged the grounds of the island complex. In addition to uprooting trees, toppling cabanasand peeling back the roof on an aluminum storage area, the tornado also tossed about lawn and beach chairs.Many of the chairs ended up lodged in and on the trees and bushes on the grounds.

until after the storm is over. When you do leave yoursafe spot:

• Check people around you for injuries and seekhelp if necessary. Cooperate with local officials.

» Check utility lines and appliances for damage.Open the windows and turn off the main valve if yousmell gas, and don't turn on lights or appliances untilthe gas has dissipated. Turn off the power if wires areshorted out. . . -- - — •

• When you go outside, watch out for downedpower lines.

• Notify your insurance agent with as much detailas possible about damage and follow instructions forfiling a claim.

• Take steps to prevent further damage to yourhome and furniture by cleaning and drying bedding,rugs, carpeting and furniture as soon as possible andboarding up broken windows and holes in the wallsor roof.

• Don't be rushed into signing repair contracts.Make sure the person you hire is experienced inrepair work, not just new construction. Determinepayment terms and consult your insurance agent oradjuster before you sign any contracts.

• Keep receipts for living expenses beyond yournormal ones and for temporary repair costs so youcan seek insurance reimbursement.

Several myths about tornadoes still are heard andneed to be dispelled. 1) The best place to be during atornado is NOT the southwest corner of a building orany other corner, but in the center away from outsidewalls. 2) Opening window to equalize pressure doesnothing to reduce damage and may increase it byallowing debris and water to get in. 3) Don't bet yourlife on outrunning a tornado in a car; tornadoes areunpredictable and you can't know which way one isgoing to move or how fast. 4) A mobile home isNEVER safe in a violent windstorm such as a torna-do, even if it is tied down. When a watch is issued,leave a mobile home and go Jrnmediately to a safestructure.

Separating fact from myth can mean the differencebetween injury and safety or even between life anddeath.
