Lawyer sentenced for attempted swindle of Tahitian Gardens ownersBy SCOTT MARTELLIslander staff writer

A former manager of Sanibel's Tahi-tian Garden's Shopping Center, whowas charged last year with attemptingto swindle the elderly owners of the $2.2million shopping center, was sentencedlast week.

Terry Lyn Bowerstock, 36, was

sentenced to 11 years probation,ordered to pay $8,000 in fines, and willlikely lose his license to practice law.He must also perform 150 hours of com-munity service for each year of hisprobation.

The owners of the center, WilliamSnyder, 79, and Vivienne Snyder, 76,aren't sure that the sentence againstthe Ohio attorney is tough enough. But

they are glad not to have to think aboutthe situation any longer.

"I think it (the sentence) could havebeen more," said Vivienne Synder. "Itshould be tough enough so that theycouldn't get (swindle) more people."

Bowerstock managed the center withpartner Robert Pellegrino, a FortMyers mortgage broker, from May 24through Dec. 15, 1985. Both men were

arrested on July 11,1986, after a 1-yearinvestigation by three state law en-forcement agencies.

Bowerstock was sentenced lastWednesday for exploitation ot theelderly, recording a conversation andunlawfully selling stocks. He pleadedno contest to the charges Oct. 23.

After a few minutes, he returned to the par-ty with the woman, a staff member of GulfCoast Center, and seemed more aware of hissurroundings. He let go of her hand and joined

his parents, Elinore and Bob Dormer, and therest of the crowd in their wait for Santa'sarrival.

Sanibel voters joincounty in nixing1-cent sales taxBy BARBARA BRUNDAGEIslander staff writer

Sanibel voters joined other Lee County residents in ^resounding turndown of the proposed additional 1-cenrsales tax that would have provided $25 million in 1988to fund major county-wide capital improvements

40 percent voter turnout on Sanibel was the highesrin the county, according to the Election Supervisor'sOffice. The turnout county-wide was 36 percent.

875 (63 percent) of the 1,385 registered voters whowent to the polls last Tuesday voted against the taxincrease.

Captivans supported the hike by a vote ot 76 to 49The additional sixth cent in the local sales tax was

defeated by a 2-1 margin by county voters.Sanibel city fathers did not take an official position

but would have welcomed the additional income tofund some capital improvements, they said.

The county had promised that some of the revenuefrom the extra penny tax on sales would be used to ex-pand the Bowman's Beach facility on Sanibel.

Had the penny increase been approved, the CityCouncil was prepared to lobby for an increase inSanibel's share from the 1 percent the county propos-ed under a formula based on the Island's year 'roundpopulation of approximately 5,000 residents.

The council would have asked for 5 percent — thesame amount the city now receives from the localgasoline tax — using ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^population figures and in- " " * W " M " " ' M ' " " M

Swindle Continued from page 1A

Pellegrino was sentenced May 25,1987, to seven years probatation. Hewas fined $7,000, and lost his brokeragelicense. He received a lesser penaltyfor testifying against Bowerstock.

At the time of his arrest, Pellegrinotold The Islander he was outraged atthe charges, and that it was he whobrought the problems to the attention ofthe authorities. He said his only goalhad been to help the Snyders out of abad mortgage situation.

The state attorney's office reports

that each man came to the office tocomplain about his partner.

In May, 1985, the two men had per-suaded the Synders to execute a deed oftrust transferring title of the shoppingcenter to Alpha Assets Trust, whichwas operated by the two men.

Pellegrino was the hands-onmanager, starting the TahitianGardens Restaurant, while Bowerstockjust sort of "disappeared," Pellegrinotold The Islander last year.

The trust agreement entitled the two

men to manage the center for theSnyders. As managers, the two menwere to collect rent and give the moneyto the Snyders. They were also respon-sible for the upkeep of the center. Thestate attorney's office charged that theSnyders did not receive any moneyfrom the men, and that the center wasallowed to deteriorate.

The arrest of the two men on July 11,1986, took place after a full 1-year in-vestigation by the state attorney's of-fice in Fort Myers, in conjunction with

the Florida Division of AlcoholicBeverages and Tobacco, and theFlorida Comptroller's office.

The center was turned back over tothe Snyders Dec. 15,1985.

"I try not to think about those pro-blems (the attempted swindle)anymore," Vivienne Synder said. "Ithink they are over. That place (theshopping center) is just my favoriteplace."

elated at the outcome of the election.More taxes are not necessary to fund future capital

improvements, they contended.In a leaflet distributed at polling places last Tues-

day, the tax fact committee charged that $14 million inrevenue from gas taxes has been sitting in the bank in-stead of being used for road projects. The groupcharged that the funds were left over because of theDepartment of Transportation's inability to get pro-jects done.

In light of the possibility that the state will levy a1-cent increase in the current 5-cent sales tax toreplace the controversial tax on services, Lee County

residents would wind up paying 7 cents on the dollar ifthis local sales tax were approved, Burton pointed out.

County Commissioner Porter Goss, a Sanibel resi-dent, said he was not surprised at the defeat.

Uncertainty about the possible increase in the statesale tax, plus confusion about the service tax issuemay have been responsible, he speculated.

In a case like this the easiest thing for a tax payer todo is vote no, he added.

Goss said that without the $25 million, dozens ofcounty projects may have to be cut.

But at a special meeting last Thursday the commis-sioners requested further revenue projections fromthe county staff before making any decisions on cut-ting capital projects.

Sanibel, Cape Coral and Fort Myers may be asked toadopt road impact fees with the revenue allocated toroad projects necessary to accommodate growth.

Mayor Mike Klein, a supporter of the tax, said lackof support may stem from the fact that people werenot sure whether the money would really be used forcapital projects.

The Lee County Commissioners about-faced in theErosion| Control Study for Captiva when a large groupof Islanders appeared at the commissioners' meetingroom inj the courthouse to speak for the study.

Sanibel's first mayor steps down. Porter Goss, whohas presided over the city legislature ever since the ci-ty council's initial organizational meeting, has an-nounced that he is abdicating the mayor's chair. "I donot think that the city's charter intends that one in-dividual monopolize the mayor's job," he stated.

The Conservation Center of the Sanibel- CaptivaConservation Foundation is to be dedicated at 4 p.m.on Dec. 6. After years in the talking and planningstages, the center will emerge as a new focal point forthe interests and energies of Islanders and visitors,focusing on the distinct ecosystem of the islands.

When you're 'away'it's easy to believein the green flash

Recently we spent the weekend on UpperCaptiva, or North Captiva, as some call it.Or just "away," as we called it — as inaway from the telephone, away from thoselittle household chores that always manageto steal weekend moments, away from thefinishingjouches a certain manuscript mer-

cilessly demands.Away, in this case,

from cars, conveniencestores and clocks.Away to true island liv-ing, where the land —having forseen thefuture — chose not tobe mainland-connected,and so, then, brokeaway from Captiva.

Away to a placewhere the sea sets thepace, the timetable is

ISLANDEYESBy ChelleKoster Walton

'soon come" and theclock is the sun. As itlowers in the sky, youknow it's time to grabsomething cold andwet and head for the

beach. For sunset. ,We saw a perfect island sunset on Upper

Captiva. A green flash kind of sunset. Or atleast there should have been a green flash.They just belong with cloudless islandsunsets, green flashes do. So I've heard.

I've been told there is a scientific explana-tion that lends credence to the green flashmyth. It has to do with refraction andvarious other physics terms I've failed tocomprehend as early as high school and asrecently as last week's episode of Jeopardywhere that appeared as one of the sevencategories.

I've also been told that green flashes comeonly with southern vacation packages. Thereason, as I understand it, is that we havemore ice crystals. More ice crystals, theysay.

You may be beginning to suspect howsuspect I find this whole green flashbusiness. The more I hear, the more I doubt.In my lifetime I have seen more than theaverage number of tropical island sunsets. Ihave seen some impressive performances.I've applauded pink chiffon and whippedcream layered horizons. I have sighed overgilded seas 'neath silver-lined clouds. I havestared intently in search of the green flash.Not once have I succeeded.

Well, maybe once. I'm not sure.I learned about green flashes when I was

living on St. Croix, the largest of the threeU.S. Virgin Islands. I was on extended islandvacation, so sunset was de rigueur. Folkswould gather at a certain drinking establish-ment to watch the evening's performance,sip a couple of pina coladas, ooh and ahhand then claim they had seen the greenflash.

"Oh, yes, I know I saw it this tirae. P. wasjust for a second."

"I saw it, too, it was almost like anafterthought."

(Or a hallucination, perhaps?)Do you see why I'm doubting this* whole

thing? First of all, you only find greenflashes near the equator, where we all knowthcTsUn does strange things to your mind.Secondly, rum is involved — need I ex-pound? Thirdly, the green only flashes, sup-posedly, after you've stared fixedly into thesun r— don't blink now, you'll miss it — atprecisely the split second that it finishes its

Ohio visitor wants to know how many junonias are found every yearTo the EditorThe Islander

My wife and I just returned fromour fourth trip to Sanibel and seemto enjoy its beauty and serenitymore and more each time.

The fine articles in-your weeklypaper add a great deal to our ap-preciation of this Island. Our com-pliments to you and your staff.

We wonder if you could answer a

question for us.On the morning of Nov. 18 (dur-

ing a recent visit) I was most for-tunate in finding a junonia on thebeach just west of the West WindInn where we were staying. I foundit in the very early morning. Itshows some wear from the surf,and from time is not perfect, butknowing it is a rare shell means agreat deal to me, or I should say, to

us.Now to my questions: Can you

give us any idea as to the frequencyof such finds — say in a givenseason? How many a year arefound on the Islands of Sanibel andCaptiva?

I am enclosing a self-addressedenvelope for your reply. Thanks.

Resident wonders if Islanders are victims of taxation without representationTo the Editor,.The Islander "

According to recent news ar-ticles, our city council is opposed toKen Wilkinson's Save Our Homesdrive but advances no alternativeidea to control the skyrocketing in-flation in property taxes on thisIsland." . '••.• Consider: In the last five years

the taxes on our Sanibel home rosefrom $1,439 to $3,141 — an increaseof 118 percent. We also have a con-dominium in Lake Forest, 111. Dur-

ing the same period the taxes on itrose from $2093 to $2376 — or 13.5percent.

Obviously, real estate prices onSanibel are increasing at a muchfaster pace than average prices inLee County as a whole. The councilexpresses some concern for up-wardly mobile families bearing"an increasingly inordinate burdenof supporting local government"but expresses no concern for theresidents of this Island bearing anincreasingly inordinate burden

each year as our assessments risefaster than the county average.

Council members, if you findfault with Wilkinson's proposal,why don't you get to work anddevise some alternative method ofcontrolling this runaway? Youwere elected to represent thecitizens of this community only —nqtthe entire county. Looks like weare'victims of taxation withoutrepresentation?

William MoloneySanibel

Iowa and New Hampshire are fine places, but.With such small electorates, can these two statesreally be considered pace-setters in the primaries?

I have visited Iowa and New Hampshire manytimes. I've done work in both states and enjoyed thelovely lakes in New Hampshire. But... I think thattheir place as the pace-setters for the presidentialprimaries is absolutely ridiculous.

Somehow the media has decided that the winnersin these two states, which have relatively smallpopulations, automatically become front runners,while those who finish low on the totem pole arepractically eliminated in the race for the nominationor have little chance of surviving.

This is absolute nonsense. When the electoral votesare counted, Iowa represents eight votes and NewHampshire only four. In contrast, our own state ofFlorida counts for 21 votes.

Super Tuesday (another media invention) will cast158 electoral votes on election day. While electoralvotes aren't decided in primaries, they do reflect acandidate's strength in each state and the relativeweight of a state. The media has blown the actualimportance of these two primaries way out of pro-portion, and the candidates have fallen for the mediabait like trout going for a fly.

Both Democrats and Republicans have spent hun-dreds of thousands of dollars on TV, radio,newspapers and assorted printed material. In addi-tion, they have been paying for as many as 50 ormore staff people whose salaries and expenses runinto hundreds of thousands of dollars.

While this may be good for the economics of thesetwo states, when the votes and money-are countedwe will have learned little about how a state moretypically representative of our country would havevoted.

Iowa is mostly rural and New Hampshire is prac-tically a suburb of Boston. Neither has any large in-dustrial cities, nor do they have any sizeable ethnicpopulation. Neither has any or many blacks,Hispanics or Asians residing there. Recent polls in-

POLITICS

ByBob Maurer

dicate how parachial the votersare.

Sen. Bob Dole Jr. from ruralKansas leads Vice PresidentGeorge Bush, an original ur-banite from New England, by42 percent to 26 percent, inIowa. But when the peoplefrom New Hampshire are poll-ed, they choose the vice presi-dent over the senator by almostthe same figures, 41 percent forBush, 21 percent for Dole.

Polling on the Democraticcandidates demonstratesalmost the same tendencies. InNew Hampshire NBC poll

— shows Michael Dukakis, thegovernor of neighboring

Massachusetts, leading Sen. Paul Simon, a mid-westerner, by 41 percent to 21 percent. On the otherhand, the bow-tied senator from Illinois leads theeastern governor 21 percent to 20 percent in ruralIowa.

According to the preferences of the people in thetwo first primary states, none of the other can-didates seem to have a chance and are going to ap-pear (in the media) as has-beens. It is very unlikelythat men like Jack Kemp, Peter Dupont, Pat Robert-son or Alexander Haig will accept the role ofRepublican primary has-beens.

It is just as unlikely that Jesse Jackson, Al Gore,Bruce Babbit or Richard Gephardt will concededefeat after the votes are counted in Iowa and NewHampshire.

CommentaryNaturists, naturalists - both take a walk on the wild sideBy SCOTT MARTELL

Here at the Islander, we get all kinds of in-teresting calls. People ask us about everything fromwhat kind of weather is occurring back home inDuluth, to queries about who won the 1923 WorldSeries. Newspapers are supposed to be the center forall information.

So it was natural that someone called asking us fornames of Island "naturalists." It wasn't difficult toquickly name off a few: K.C. Emerson, BirdWestell, Erick Lindblad, etc. We could picture thefellow taking down the names.

We mentioned how all are highly qualifiednaturalists, each with a different speciality. Whichanimal were you particularly interested in, weasked?

"Naturalist!" he exclaimed. "We looking fornaturists, nudists."

Well, that's certainly a bird of a different feather.Still, we can hardly refrain from pondering the

scenario if this fellow had called, say, K.C. Emer-son, one of the Island's grand older statesmen for

REPORTER'SNOTEBOOK

the environment."The Islander told us you were a naturist. We

were wondering where you go," the stranger mighthave said.

Emerson, slipping over "naturist " as we did, mighthave advised the man to go to the J.N. "Ding" Darl-ing National Wildlife Refuge.

"You're allowed to go there — where?" thestranger might have said.

"Along the Wildlife Drive — but it costs $3 now,"Emerson might say.

"Is it worth it?""Well, there are a lot of birds.""Oh, mostly women do it, huh?""I wouldn't say that."

"And the refuge staff allows it?""Oh, I think they rather encourage it," Emerson

might have said. "In fact, they have volunteers onthe Wildlife Drive who carry binoculars and haveplenty of information on most of the things youmight see."

"That's pretty unusual. What kind of information?"Oh, when they mate, their full-grown sizes, what

they eat - stuff like that.""That's incredible! Where do they get information

like that?""Oh, the Visitor Center has plenty of good books

with plenty of pictures.""I can't believe this. You folks don't just play

volleyball here do you!""Volleyball? Well, they do that at the recreation

center close by.""What an incredible island you have!""We're proud of it. It is a sanctuary island

after all."

All information in the following T^T*reports was taken directly from Sanibel P O L I C EPolice Department records. BEAT

A Sanibel resident advised policeabout a wooden platform on SandcastleRoad that held a mattress and clothingon top of it. The resident called policeat Wednesday morning, Dec. 2, toreport the suspicious evidence. It ap-peared to officers that someone hadbeen living on the platform or thatchildren were using it as a play area.Police were unable to determine howthe platform was used and had noverification that anybody was using it.

A sign was reported missing atTimbers restaurant on the corner ofRabbit and Sanibel-Captiva roads at 3p.m. Monday, Nov. 30. The carved signthat displays a red grouper is valued at$150. Police were not able to locate thesign.

Breaking and entering was the causeof missing cash, credit cards and abroken coffee cup valued at $20 atPeriwinkle Gardens last week. Policewere notified of the break-in at 1:30a.m. Monday, Nov. 30. $200 in cash wastaken from the Foxy Lady South shop,

in addition to $546 in checks and creditcards and $1,500 from the cash register.A coffee mug was broken at TraderRick's and $40 was taken from Soft as aGrape. Police determined that thesame method of entry was used as theprevious break-in at PeriwinkleGardens Nov. 29. The intruders smash-ed the doors with river rocks to gain en-trance to the shops.

A Sanibel caller told police a snakewas stuck in a drain pipe at 9:30 a.m.Wednesday, Dec. 2. When police in-vestigated, they found that the snakewas not stuck, but merely coiled uphiding from the cold weather.

The Sanibel Fire Department workedalong with Island Water Association tocontrol a leak in a chlorine tank insidethe Reverse Osmosis plant. The SFDand the IWA were able to control theleak, and no danger was posed to near-by homes.

Dr. James Bell

Dr. James Bell In his Island dental office.

T he "Mom and Pop':

style of dentis-try practiced by

Dr. Jim Bell and hiswife, Karen, in St.Thomas, Virgin Islands,in the early 70s has goneby the board.

For seven years —from 1969 to 1976 — Jimand his wife worked as ateam with Karen handl-ing all the details ofkeeping the office runn-ing smoothly. She servedas his assistant in morecomplicated procedures.

The Bells loved islandliving in the Caribbean.

But despite the fact that St. Thomas was aU.S. possession the lifestyle was not ideal forraising their two sons.

When Jim Jr. and Jeff were 9 and 5, the Bellsmoved to Savannah, Ga., where Dr. Bell washead of the Department of Dental Hygiene atArmstrong State College.

"During the 4% years we were there we wereon the lookout for another island," Bell says.

A television show about Sanibel piqued theirinterest and after their first visit here they knewthis would be their next home.

In December 1980 Dr. Bell opened a dental of-fice in the Sanibel Plaza on Periwinkle Way.

Bell says now that if he had it to do over hewould never have spent $50,000 to furnish his of-fice with the latest equipment in a location withvery little visibility.

It turned out to be an investment that had lit-tle chance of breaking even, much less turning aprofit, he says.

Bell says he remained optimistic that thingswould work out until a year ago when the homethey'd been renting for six years was sold outfrom under them.

"We were given three weeks to find a place tolive and with the season approaching there wasno place we could afford on Sanibel," he recalls.

The family was forced to move to Fort Myers.Bell still maintains his office on Sanibel and

and is available by appointment evenings and allday Saturday.

Five days a week Bell commutes 50 miles toArcadia where he is in charge of dentistry at G.Pierce Wood State Hospital.

Bell looks back with nostalgia to his days onSt.Thomas.

But he realizes it will never be that way again."The economic paradox about dentistry is that

it's suffering from its own success," Bell says.It is one of the few health technologies that

almosty invariably succeeds both in preventionand treatment, he explains.

Fluoridation is rapidly eliminating childhoodcavities and with them goes a huge amount of in-come for dentists. Dentists in private practicenow can't compete with clinics offering cut-rate

dental care nor can theymeet the pricesavailable throughprepaid dental pro-grams, Bell says.

Bell is pessimisticabout the future of hisprofession.

Three dental schoolshave closed in recentyears: GeorgetownUniversity inWashington, D.C.,Emory University inAtlanta and OralRoberts University inTulsa.

Officials at univer-sities say there is less of

demand for dental services and an overabun-dance of dentists.

The threat of AIDS has already createdchanges.

Dentists for years have worked to change theirimage as "big bad bogeymen" who scarechildren. They exchanged intimidating whitesurgical coats for pastel colored sport shirts,decorated their offices in relaxing colors andplayed soft music.

Under direction of the U.S. surgeon general,when performing dental procedures dentistsmust now don surgical masks and gloves to helpprevent the spread of AIDS, Bell says.

In the early days of the threat all patients atthe G. Pierce Wood Hospital were required toundergo tests for AIDS.

But this order was recently remanded after acivil liberties organization objected, saying itwas a violation of human rights, Bell says.

Bell deplores the growing trend for dentists topad their incomes by performing sophisticatedprocedures that in the past would have beenreferred to specialists.

Bell received his doctor of dental sciencedegree from Marquette University School ofDentistry in Milwaukee, Wise, in 1967. He andKaren were married the year before.

After serving two years as a captain in theU.S. Air Force Dental Corps at Kirkland AirForce Base in Albuquerque, N.M., the Bellsmoved to the Virgin Islands.

"We had read about St. Thomas in NationalGeographic and decided we might like islandlife," Bell says.

Sanibel and St. Thomas have a lot in common,Bell says, but Sanibel has a few moreadvantages.

Bell is now looking for a "buyer-partner" toshare his practice on Sanibel with the hope thatthe office here can once again be open full-time.

Bell was president of the Virgin Islands DentalAssociation while practicing there and was theirdelegate to the American Dental Association an-nual meeting in Washington. He is currently ac-tive in the Florida Dental Association and theSouthwest Florida Dental Society.

Commissioners say county won't 'fall apart'

without 1-cent sales tax revenuesBy CHRIS STRINE

Although many fear the defeat of theproposed 1-cent sales tax during lastTuesday's referendum election hasplaced the county in a financial bind,Lee County Commissioners reassuredresidents Thursday that things are notgoing to "fall apart" in the comingyears.

Emphasizing that point, CommissionChairman Bill Fussell said, "If anyonethinks Lee County is going to diebecause of this, they're wrong. If theythink growth's going to stop, they'rewrong."

The commissioners addressed thedefeated tax issue, and what optionsthey may have now to fund needed pro-jects in the area, during a meetingThursday afternoon at the Lee CountyCourthouse in Fort Myers.

Commissioner Donald Slisher toldthose in attendance at the publicmeeting that for the next two years thecounty is covered financially.

Do we have a balanced budget?"Slisher asked County AdministratorJim LaRue When LaRue assured himthat the county did, Slisher said, "Wehave a full plate for the next two years... I think we need to tighten our belt,we have no choice, but we're not introuble now."

Commissioner Mary Ann Wallacehad earlier asked if the county wouldhave any budget "shortfalls" in the5-year Capital Improvement Programdue to the defeat of the tax.

County staff members reported thatalthough there were a number of needs— a new jail or "a significantly expand-

Porter Goss

ed" one for example — such projectshad not been funded in the CIP.

Earlier in the week, CommissionerPorter Goss had requested that thedefeated tax discussion be added to thecommission agenda. He indicated thegroup should "begin to sort out whatsteps we should take," concerning thefinancing possibilities Jfor^the neededprojects.

Goss said he felt the commission hadfour choices with the "non-realizationof revenues that were available to us."

His choices were:• Determine what other revenue

avenues are available — increased pro-perty taxes, user fees or additional im-pact fees. "The first step," he said, "iswhether or not to pursue additionalrevenue."• "Revisit the Capital ImprovementProject," he said, and perhaps alterproject priorities within its budget.• A combination fo the first twochoices.• Or, do nothing.

Commissioner Charlie Bigelow, like• his fellow commissioners, agreed withGoss.

"It's critically important over thenext year or two that we show we arecompetent," he said.

He went on to say, "We need to lookat the revenues we project and look atthe projects that are needed. We needto get a feel for what all those thingsare ... we need to start laying thegroundwork so we go into it (abudgeting process) fully armed."

While the group was in agreementthat it was too early to make any deci-sions — "I don't think it would be wiseto make any rash decisions today,"Slisher said — they did request that thecounty staff go to work 6n the problemand determine future revenuepossiblities.

Goss then requested that the issue bea "top agenda item at the next (com-mission) fiscal management commit-tee meeting." That meeting is schedul-ed to take place after the holidays inearly January.

Council endorses amendment that would limit increase in assessmentsUnder the proposal, homestead property would not be appraised at market value until soldBy BARBARA BRUNDAGEIslander staff writer

Sanibel City CouncU has given a qualified endorse-ment to a Florida constitutional amendment thatwill limit to 3 percent the annual increase in assess-ed valuation of homestead properties.

Under the proposal sponsored by Save Our HomesCommittee, spearheaded by Lee County PropertyAppraiser Ken Wilkinson, homestead propertieswould not be appraised at full market value untilsold.

The scheme is designed to provide relief forlongtime residents, many on fixed and modest in-comes, from constantly escalating ad valorem taxeswhich result when property assessments represent100 percent of current market value.

Last Tuesday the council adopted a resolutionsupporting the Save Our Homes proposal with thecaveat that provision be made for an equalization onsales or transfers of homes that have benefited fromdeferred taxes.

The council agreed that it is only equitable that aproperty owner making windfall profit on the sale ofhis home pay back a portion of the ad valorem

Islander Henry Shelton urged thecouncil to adopt the resolution and"show retirees that make up 78 percentof Sanibel's population you're on theirside."

taxes.The 3 percent limitation on raising appraisals af-

fects each homeowner differently. City Attorney BobPritt said those who hold their property for longperiods of time benefit while those who are forced tomove often are repeatedly subject to taxes based onthe market value of their homes when purchased.

City Manager Gary Price said he, was not sure theSave Our Homes solution was the answer to the pro-blem of ever-increasing property taxes.

Price said the state should investigate sources ofrevenue other than property taxes to pay for ser-vices demanded by the burgeoning population.

Councilman Francis Bailey said he was

philosophically opposed to the plan that would givepreferential treatment to one class of people, and hedid not support the resolution.

Councilman Fred Valtin said that Wilkinson saidan equalization provision could not be included in theproposed constitutional amendment because it in-troduces a second issue.

Referendums can deal with only one subject ac-cording to Wilkinson.

Pritt said he was not convinced that the equaliza-tion provision would be classified as a second sub-ject by the courts.

Islander Henry Shelton urged the council to adoptthe resolution and "show retirees that make up 78percent of Sanibel's population you're on their side."

The majority of the council agreed that there wasno need to exempt a property owner forever fromthe assessment and collection of tax, especiallywhen the property is sold or transferred and there isno reason to create such a windfall at the expense ofother property owners.

The resolution with the addition that a portion ofdeferred taxes be repaid by the owner when proper-ty is sold at a profit, passed by a 4-1 vote, withBailey dissenting.

City urges county commission to take actions to preserve the environment• In line with Sanibel 's basicphilosophy to preserve and protect thefragile environment of barrier islands,the City Council last week unanimouslyadopted two resolutions.

Both were directed to the Lee CountyBoard of County Commissioners.

One urged the commission to pur-chase and add to the county's recrea-tional inventory Bodwitch Point, 17acres of undeveloped prime beachfront land at the northern end of EsteroIsland. The property is zoned for con-dominiums with a density of up to 155dwelling units.

A public park on the site would notonly preserve a setting for the enjoy-ment of many, but would relieve theovercrowding on other county beaches.

City Manager Gary Price pointed outthat Bodwitch Point would providemainlanders an alternative to Sanibel'sLighthouse Beach as well as countyowned Bowman's Beach.

It would tend to reduce traffic onPeriwinkle Way and San-Cap Road andrelieve congestion on the eastern end ofSanibel, Price added.

In the second resoution the councilstrongly recommended that the countycommissison deny a request for rezon-ing two acres of land on Captiva Islandfrom residential to commercial.

The rezoning is required to permitconstruction of Rosse's Bed 'nBreakfast Inn, a 50-unit motel with arestaurant and boat dock/marina.

The increase in density from threedwelling units per acre currently per-mitted on Captiva to 25 units per acrewould produce dramatic increase intraffic on San-Cap Road, CouncilmanLenn Lorenson pointed out.

It has been city policy to object toover-development of any property thatwould negatively affect the Island'shurricane evacuation route.

The council also found the proposeddevelopment too intense for the 2-acresite and a 50-room motel incompatiblewith the surrounding land uses, whichare primarily residential.

• A "Public Dig," approved by thestate's Department of EnvironmentalRegulation and the city's VegetationCommittee, will be held this week atthe site of the city's proposed newpublic works facility, off Dunlop Road

CITYBRIEFS

just east of City Hall.Native vegetation that must be

removed to clear the building site is be-ing offered free to Islanders willing todig up the plants and carry them home.

The DER permit requires transplan-ting all native plants that are located inthe area to be filled.

Members of the Vegetation Commit-tee and Public Works employees will beon hand from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughFriday, Dec. 10 to assist in identifyingplants and answering questions, PublicWorks director Don Schofield said.

• The City Council will take final actionDec. 15 on an ordinance prohibiting theuse of cast nets for fishing off theSanibel pier.

Pole fishermen object to the use oflarge cast nets from the pier claimingthey scare off the bait fish that attractthe "big ones" they're looking for.

The public offered no input at thefirst reading of the ordinance lastTuesday.

Councilman Francis Bailey, who saidhis brother Sam is an avid net fisher-man, was surprised that no one wasthere to protest the prohibition.

"Maybe they haven't heard about ityet," he conjectured.

Councilman Lenn Lorenson said hehad asked for the ordinance at the re-quest of one of his constituents.

• Councilman Mike Klein will serve asSanibel's mayor for the next year.

Klein was elected by acclamation ofhis fellow councilmen at last Tuesday'scouncil meeting.

This is the second time Klein, firstelected to the council in 1980, has filledthe post. He succeeds Fred Valtin.- 1 Vlt's not going to be easy to take overfrom Fred," Klein commented. "Withthe growth of the city the mayor's jobnow has much greater responsibilitythan it did five years ago."

Klein commended Valtin on his"magnificent job" handling the manyunusual and sensitive issues that arose

during his tenure.Veteran Councilman Francis Bailey

was named vice mayor.Valtin was presented a wall clock in

recognition of his contribution and to"remind him of his time spent asmayor."

Klein will succeed Valtin as Sanibel'srepresentative on the Southwest FloridaLeague of Cities.

• Planning Commissioners MarkWestall and James Levy, whose termsexpire Dec. 31, were reappointed by theCity Council to the commission foranother three years.

The council last Tuesday also reap-pointed Elliot Gelberg, Garth Woodand John Smith to 3-year terms on theCode Enforcement Board. Their cur-rent terms expire Dec. 31.

Hal Austin was named to fill theunexpired term of Morgan Nelson, whoresigned after moving off-Island. Hewill serve until Dec. 31,1988.

Current members of the Marine Ad-visory, Vegetation and Wildlife com-mittees were all reappointed for oneyear terms.

On the recommendation of ChairmanRalph Curtis, Eve Haverfield, who isactive in Caretta Research, was namedto the Wildlife Committee.

• One of the best kept secrets onSanibel is that residents can register tovote at any one of the three Islandbanks during regular business hours.

The banks involved are C&S NationalBank, 1699 Periwinkle Way; FirstFederal Savings and Loan, 2223 PalmRidge Road; and First Independence

The newmayor ofSanibel, MikeKlein, at work inhis office at Ci-ty Hall. Photoby RickiKosakowCooper.

Bank in the Pick-Kwik Plaza at the in-tersection of Palm Ridge and TarponBay roads.

Anyone who is at least 18 years old, acitizen of the United States and a per-manent resident of Florida and LeeCounty is eligible to register to votewith the supervisor of electionswhenever the books are open.

To vote in the 1988 PresidentialPreference Primary on March 8, a resi-dent must register before Feb. 6,1988,when the registration books close.

Three amendments to the Sanibel ci-ty charter will also be on the ballot atthe March 8 primary.

At that time voters will be asked toapprove two changes in the charterthat will revise the procedure for elec-ting city councilmen.

One amendment calls for changingthe last date that a council candidatecan file a declaration of intent to seekelection from 20 days to 45 days prior tothe deadline for filing a petition ofnomination.

A second amendment specifies that anewly elected City Council memberwill take his or her seat at the councilmeeting immediately following cer-tification of the election (by the LeeCounty Supervisor of Elections) atwhich the council member was electedwhether it is the initial election or arun-off election.

A voter whose name has beenwithdrawn from the registrationrecords because he has failed to vote atleast once during the past two years,may be reinstated after verification1

that his status and qualifications tovote have not changed.

Gulf Coast Continued from page 1A

Gulf Coast. In the last six years, the Sanibel-CaptivaLions have assisted them.

The men from Gulf Coast are between the ages of26 and 48.

This year the sun was warming the chilly ah- andthe waves were lapping up to the backyard of theDormer's bayfront home, but the atmosphere wasstill filled with the excitement of the Christmasseason.

12 staff members of Gulf Coast accompaniedPatrick and the others to Sanibel. "They were so ex-cited about coming today," one staff member said."They knew what was going on."

Lunch was served at noon. Members of the Lionsclub served hamburgers, hotdogs and an assortmentof side dishes to everyone. They all had their fill offood, including Patrick, who seemed not only to en-joy the hamburgers, but also his parents' company.

The rest of the men finished their food and somewalked around checking things out while others satquietly.

A huge cake was provided by Gulf Coast and wasserved with ice cream. Everyone was enjoyingthemselves when all of a sudden a loud mufflingsound came from above.

The sound was noticed by several Lions. Everyonekept quiet so the Gulf Coast men would finish theircake first before noticing the sea plane.

But as the sound drew closer, Lion Bob Louwersshouted, "Here's Santa! Look, here comes Santa!"

The plane, owned by Myton Ireland, circled. around and finally landed on the water and drifted' toward the Dormers' backyard.I <Santa (Lion Joe Feeney) waved his red hat and\ jumped out of the plane and headed toward the

party.When he stepped onto land, several men ran up to

Santa, hugging him and shaking his hand.A dripping wet Santa greeted the partiers and

seemed relieved he made it out of the water.After he calmed everyone down, Santa'swung his

bag of presents around and headed for an open pic-nic table to set his goods down.

Santa Claus said he had presents for everyone andlifted the first one out of the bag. He called the name"Patrick" and, after a search, Pat came up toretrieve his present.

As someone helped Patrick open his present, othernames were called and one by one everyone got apresent.

The gifts, transistor radios, were, purchased by theLions Club.

Each man was taught how to use his radio andsoon some were dancing, while others were swit-ching stations and others still sat quietly.

After the gifts were passed out, Patrick presentedhis parents with a Christmas card. Then a staffmember gave the Dormers a present from everyoneat the center. Elinore Dormer unwrapped the paperto find a ceramic cookie jar with a teddy bear on thefront.

Patrick hugged his parents and pictures weretaken.

But soon Patrick forgot the radio, the decorationsand the excitement. Instead he followed his parentsaround.

And then he went inside again. And he stayedthere for a long time.

For Patrick, it wasn't the radio, nor the crowdthat made this Christmas party special, but instead,it was being home that made Patrick the happiest.

The Coconut Grove restaurant celebrates its 30th birthdayBy MARA VERTREESIslander staff writer

This week marks the 30th anniver-sary of the Coconut Grove restauranton Sanibel. The business that Johnand Bella Kontinos started inDecember 1957 has since grown froma small, family operation into a large,successful establishment that employsmore than 50 people.

The familiar restaurant on the cor-ner of Periwinkle Way and TarponBay Road was originally a smallbuilding seating 57 people and servingthe needs of a small island communi-ty. Through the years the building hasgrown with Sanibel as John added anadditional dining room and lounge tomake the building we know today.

But the story of the Coconut Groveis not just the story of a building, it isthe story of a family — of a man andwoman who with their own strength ofbody and spirit built not only abusiness but a place for themselves inthe Island's heart and history.

John Kontinos was a high schoolteacher of math, physics and in-dustrial trades in Henniker, N.H.,when he decided to visit his sister,Mary, who lived on Sanibel.

Mary was married to a sailor fromFlorida and they had bought the pro-perty where the Coconut Grove andBailey's now stands. An experiencedbeautician, she had opened her ownbeauty shop on the property.

When John first came down in 1955he was thinking of opening a hotel onthe Island. Two years later, at the endof the school year, he left his teachingcareer behind him forever and movedhere to build a restaurant.

Building on Sanibel in the '50smeant drilling for water, clearing theland and doing most of the workyourself. The site of the restaurantwas covered with Australian pinesthat had to be cut down and removed.To clear the site John became alicensed dynamiter and literally blewthe huge trunks out of the ground.

In December 1957, with the houseand business completed, Bella joinedher husband bringing with her theirnewborn daughter, Anne.

Before Bella came to Sanibel shehad to make a hard and painful deci-sion. Her child had been born with thefatal disease, cystic fibrosis, and doc-tors in Boston had told her that mov-ing the baby to a remote island withno hospital or emergency facilitieswould mean an even earlier death forher child.

Already apprehensive, her introduc-tion to island life was even moredisheartening. Her plane arrived lateand she missed the ferry. The coldand windy December night found herand her child bumping across the bayin John Stokes' fishing boat. It was amoment, Bella says, when she thoughtof her parents coming across theocean from their native Greece to anew and frightening land.

The next three years weresometimes lonely, but always busy.She and John spent their time in therestaurant — he cooked and she work-

The modest business that John and Bella Kontinos builthas grown and thrived along with the community

ed out front where she was able tomeet and become close with otherIslanders. It was that closeness andcamaraderie that helped them makeit through the hard times, they say.

Bella tells of how John was burnedin a gas explosion and spent four daysin the hospital. While he was gonepeople such as Priscilla Murphy andDick and Vivian Kearns came in andwaited tables and worked in therestaurant to help out Bella.

"That's the way people were on theIsland then," she says. "We were allso close. They couldn't do enough foryou."

John was also busy trying to solvethe Island's water problem. He drilledthree wells before he found one thathe could use. He also built a cistern toprovide water to the restaurant.

"For drinking water we would col-lect rainwater in containers on theroof of the restaurant," he says.

Becuase of the lack of potable waterJohn helped form and became firstpresident of the Island Water Associa-tion which borrowed money from theFarm Home Administration todevelop Sanibel's water system.

By i960 life was getting better andbusiness was doing well. John was inthe process of building a house toquarter employees when HurricaneDonna struck Sanibel and took theroof off of his home and hisrestaurant.

Safe because they had evacuatedthe Island, John and Bella returned toSanibel's shores by Coast Guard cut-ter and began to make their waytoward home.

"You couldn't go down Periwinklebecause the storm had laid all thosecausuarinas down across the road,"John says. "It was easier to cut yourway through the jungle.

"I had gotten about to the (Sanibelcommunity) association where I sawsome people gathered and I askedDick Kearns how I made out. He said,'Not too good, John. Not too good.'"

John, Bella and daughter Anne slept

that night on a dry mattress theyfound and laid on the floor of the un-finished employees quarters. Therewere no doors so they set pieces ofplywood across the doorways to keepthe animals out. The storm had ruinedhis own home but left the shell of thenew building unscathed.

A couple of days later their son,Tom, arrived. Bella says that thenew baby was like a ray of hope onthe Island. But when both childrencaught colds from sleeping in the un-finished, unheated building, Bella tookthem home to New Hampshire whileJohn rebuilt.

The Coconut Grove reopened inDecember 1960 on almost the sameday it first opened back in 1957. Bellaand children were on hand and theKontinos family was back in business.

The next few years were busy andprosperous. John built Francis Baileya new store, added a laundromat andthe Sanibel Beauty Shop and Bailey'scenter was born. (That venture wasowned and developed by John until he

sold to Francis Bailey three yearsago.)

John remodeled his restaurant andadded a new large dining room. Andin his own shop he even made most ofthe woodwork for the restaurant.

John also found time to develop theDunes, build a new house and serveas president of Sanibel's first planningcommission.

In 1962, under John's leadership, thecommission sued Lee County and gotan injuction to stop the county fromrezoning Sanibel for high densitydevelopment. The county's plansallowed Sanibel a population of 95,000people.

Bella was also busy with threechildren (another daughter, Ilena, hadcome along) and with the restaurantand her own civic involvement. An ac-tive supporter of the Episcopalchurch (John built the vicarage) Bellahad long dreamed of founding a GreekOrthodox church in the area.

Kontinos Continued from page 1B

Through the efforts of the Kontinosfamily such a church now exists onCypress Lake Drive in Fort Myers.John's brother, Arthur Kontinos, per-forms the services there.

Although the Kontinos family hadgrown in wealth and property, theirhappiness was held at bay by the poorhealth of their eldest daughter. Threeyears ago the cystic fibrosis she hadbravely lived with took its toll and thefamily lost their beloved Anne.

Tom, who had been working and at-tending school in South Carolina,returned then with his wife to takeover management of the restaurant.John Kontinos had decided to leavethe day-to-day business operation andturn his attention to other businessventures. (Although he remains on theLee County Mosquito Control Boardhe doesn't plan to take part in anyother civic functions. Having done hisshare, he says, he is now content toleave civic planning in other hands.)

His son Tom, however, carries onhis father's tradition of generosity andconcern for the community throughhis contributions to Friends in ServiceHere.

Abe Lerner of FISH says that whenhis group decided to institute itsMeals on Wheels program, members

went to several restaurants with theidea. But it was Tom and the CoconutGrove that made them a satisfactoryoffer. The restaurant provides themeals to FISH at cost, then FISHdelivers them for a small price to theparticipants in the program.

Tom says that he would not havemade the offer to just any organiza-tion. But he says he supports FISHbecause they are good neighbors try-ing to help others out. He says, "Theyare Islanders donating their time forothers, so we feel we can do the same.We charge them the cost of the con-tainers and such, and give them ourtime."

That, however, is not all he gives.Once a month FISH members sponsora Friendly Faces luncheon where theybring the people to the food instead ofvice versa. Local churches providethe space and cold dishes such assalads, and the Coconut Grove pro-vides the entree free of charge.

"We started Friendly Faces lastNovember, just before Thanksgiv-ing," Abe Lerner explains. "We askedTom if he would like to provide thefood at cost and he said he would liketo give us the first meal. Then he pro-vided a whole Thanksgiving dinnerwith stuffing and all the trimmings.

"After that he continued to providethe entree and one day we realized wehad never gotten a bill. We called andasked him about it and that's when hesaid that he had never intended tocharge us for this service. It wassomething the family wanted to do forthe community."

It's been 30 long years since theKontinoses first started serving mealson Sanibel, and the Island and theyhave grown and changed. But whenasked what accomplishment he ismost proud of, John says, "My kids.

John and Bella Kon-tinos have seen manychanges on the Islandin the 30 years they'velived and worked here.Photo by RickiKosakow Cooper.

They turned out pretty good."He adds,"Life was always a

challenge but it wasn't that hard. If Ihad it to do all over again I wouldn'tchange a thing. I'd even marry thesame woman."

This Sunday, Dec. 13, invitedfriends and family will go to theCoconut Grove to congratulate Johnand Bella on this 30th anniversary.They'll gather to reminisce andcelebrate and to raise a glass and say"Hronia Polla" (To life and manyyears).

Mother of Sanibel' Aileen Lotz authors 'Birding Around the World'By SCOTT MARTELLIslander staff writer

Sanibel and birding seem to meshlike wine and cheese. Thus itshouldn't be too surprising that awoman once dubbed "The Mother ofSanibel" has now written a bookcalled "Birding Around the World."

Aileen Lotz has certainly put a lotof miles under her hiking bootsrecently — from the jungles of Peruto the rocks and ice of Antarctica.(Peru has over 1,600 species of birds,twice that of North America, whilein Antarctica, Lotz was met by"neatly dressed penguins.")

And now Lotz is heading back toSanibel to autograph copies of hernewly released birding book. Shewill visit the Macintosh Book Storefrom 11 to noon, and from 2 to 4 p.m.this Saturday, Dec. 12.

In 1974, Lotz, a governmental con-sultant, was hired by a group ofIslanders to help them write the cityof Sanibel's charter. She also hadresponsibility for lobbying the statelegislature for the emerging city,and then to help the Sanibel Tomor-row group get a positive vote in theNovember 1974 referendum whichdecided upon incorporation.

Porter Goss dubbed Lotz "TheMother of Sanibel" for her work.

While those were certainly busyand dynamic times, Lotz stillmanaged to grab binoculars and in-dulge in one of her passions —birding.

"I'd been birding on Sanibel before1974, but during that year of work onSanibel, I took every chance I couldto head to the sanctuary (J.N."Ding" Darling National WildlifeRefuge)," Lotz remembers.

She had had a lifelong interest inbirding and in all natural things,beginning with her childhood in Con-necticut. But then, she was the typeof person who would only attempt toidentify the things that crossed herpath.

After helping Sanibel with itscharter, Lotz worked as director formetro Miami's Department ofHuman Resources, administrating a$45-60 million annual budget forhealth and social services. She hasalso held numerous other govern-mental positions.

But, as far as she is concerned, allthis was "B.A."

"Everything in my life is nowmeasured as before Christmas 1980,and after — this was the time I tookmy first real world trip to go bir-ding, in Antarctica," Lotz says,laughing slightly as she explains"B.A." and "A.A." (before Antarc-tica and after Antarctica).

"I've always had two passions —birding and traveling," Lotz adds.

Since that 1980 trip to Antarctica,Lotz spends time not just identifyingbirds that cross her path, but active-ly going to places, often exotic andremote, where she might find newbirds to add to her bird list.

"Birding is the best excuse fortraveling," she believes. While shehas seen famous locations such asthe Taj Mahal in India, and learnednew things about the culture of far-off places such as Thailand, thoseWere but incidental advantages ofhaving traveled to those locations togo birding.

She is among a select few to havebirded (yes, there is a verb 'to bird')all the world's continents. And she isa leading "intrepreter" of the evolv-

The yellow-crowned night heron is afairly common sight at the J.N. "Ding"Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a site

ing sport of "world birding" — ad-ding species to personal bird lists bytraveling specifically to see birds.

"I'm not a ornithologist," Lotzsays. "I'm not even an expertbirder. I consider myself an in-trepretor, introducing people to bir-ding around the world"

(Yet her "teachers," some whoedited chapters of her book, includedwell-known birders such as Dr.James Clements, Dr. Arnold Small,Peter Alden, George Venatta, andSanibel's own Lorimer Moe.)

Out of her early travels came aslide presentation on a trip to Africa.And springing out of that experiencecame in invitation by an editor atDodd, Meade and Company to writea book about birding around the

ding locations before beginning thebook, but the book sent her off to"fill in the missing pieces," such asbirding in Asia, South America andwest Africa.

She says her book is for "earlybirders and eager travelers," andhopes it stimulates the adrenalin forthe sport.

She laughs at the idea of pickingout one "most dramatic moment"from her travels — her book is fullof interesting and adventursomeexperiences.

Besides Christmas presents and decorations, December means the bird count on SanibelBy SCOTT MARTELLIslander staff writer

The upcoming holiday explosion may include pur-chasing presents, buying a pine or fir, and putting up afew cheery lights.

But here on Sanibel, when the month of Decemberbegins to creep past, it is also time to plan for the an-nual Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society Christmas BirdCount.

This year the Bird Count will be held on Saturday,Dec. 19.

On this day, volunteers who are somewhat skilled inbird identification, will gather at different locations onthe Island. Participants will then run through theIsland's bird list, noting species and the quantityfound.

After the count, those who have participated in thecount will meet at 5:30 p.m. at the Sanibel CommunityChurch to discuss the day's count and have a feast.The dinner will cost $7.50 per person. Reservationsshould be made with Wanda Slayton, 1396 TahitiDrive, Sanibel, or call 472-0848, before Dec. 15.

Any questions on the count itself should be address-ed to long-time coordinator K.C. Emerson, 472-9156.

Last year, a dedicated group of 81 birders counted14,818 birds representing 112 different species. In 1985about 18,291 birds, of 114 species, were counted. Thereason for the difference? The weather up north lastyear wasn't cold enough to send down hordes of robinsbefore the Christmas Bird Count.

The birds spotted most were laughing gulls, with1,719 counted, followed by the brown pelican, 1,403;the fish crow, 942; the royal tern, 882; and the whiteibis , 790.

EnvironmentWildlife drive 'survives7 first weekof honor system entrance fee programBy SCOTT MARTELLIslander staff writer

The J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refugehas "survived" week one of its new entrance feeprogram.

"We've received almost no complaints, and whileit's impossible to know the compliance rate, it appearsmost people are paying," says refuge manager RonHight.

While Hight feels that from a security standpoint itisn't wise to mention how much is being collected, hesaid he was "pleasantly surprised" at the amount col-lected during a traditional "lull" period afterThanksgiving.

"And the variety in each envelope is sometimesstrange," Hight says. "We received $10 from so-meone, and a quarter from another. One envelope had$1.62 in it! It appears that some people are just puttingin what they have."

Since Tuesday Dec. 1, it has cost $3 per car to enterthe popular Wildlife Drive. The refuge began the pro-

Birding

gram with the "honor system."Plans for a new entry road and a manned toll facility

have been put on hold as no acceptable bids werereceived from contractors. Such small jobs are man-dated by the federal government to first go out tosmall businesses. If no acceptable bid comes in from asmall contractor, then the bid is opened to allcontractors.

Hight says it's possible that the refuge will have touse the honor system throughout the season.

Refuge volunteers have aided the effort by settingup an information and change booth outside theVisitor Center. Golden Age Passports, given out freeto those over 62, have proven a hot item with over 75given out per day since the fee schedule began.

Last year, the Sanibel refuge was the number onedistributor of Duck Stamps in the United States, sell-ing some 1,000 during the year. Duck Stamps cost $10,and allow unlimited entry to all Wildlife Refuges. Allthe money raised is used for wetland acquisition.

"With the entrance fee program, we suspect theDing Darling Society will sell even more," Hight adds.

Animal migration, bird managementfeatured in free films at refuge

Nature-oriented films are shown at 1:30 p.m. everySaturday in the auditorium at the Visitor Center of theJ.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

This Saturday's films focus on two topics: wildlifemigration and an endangered species of bird. "AnimalMigration" deals with the migration habits of animalsand birds; "Kirtland's Warbler — Bird of Fire"relates the life history of this rare bird and discussesthe management efforts to protect it.

The films are free.Daily at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. a refuge slide

orientation program is shown in the auditoriumWildlife exhibits in the center also enhance a visit tothe refuge.

The Visitor Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.seven days a week. For more information call472-1100.

When the center is closed, basic information aboutthe refuge can be obtained from the kiosk in the centerparking lot. This parking area is two miles west of theintersection of Tarpon Bay and Sanibel-Captiva road.

"There are always new places, andnew birds to see," Lotz says. "Thereare birds in every location in theworld, and you can't say that about,say, trees."

So, for a person who has birded thefar corners of the world, how doesSanibel rate as a birder's paradise?

"It is just a super place," says Lotz.

"I go to the sanctuary at least once aday when I'm there. It's a good year'round birding location, with differentspecies at different times of year. Thevariety of waterbirds and land birdsis very good."

'Three Men' mightbe just the filmyou're looking forThree Men and a BabyDirected by Leonard NimoyStarring Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg andTed DansonRated PGPlaying at the Bell Tower Best, Fort Myers

The Christmas season is here, and alongwith parties, shopping and Santa Clauscomes a gift from Hollywood — some in-

tere sting films to watch.Among them is a

beguiling movie with afair amount of style. It'sabout three better thanaverage looking guysand one very smallchild, and it's called(what else?) "ThreeMen and a Baby."

Tom Selleck stars asPeter, a successful ar-chitect who shares agorgeous New Yorkapartment with fellowbachelors Michael(Steve Guttenberg), asyndicated cartoonist,and Jack (Ted Danson),an aspiring actor.

. Selleck is semi-involved with a tallbrunette, while Ted Danson, in a role similarto his "Cheers" character, is a non-stopwomanizer.

This enviable, upscale existence is rudelyinterrupted when a baby is deposited ontheir doorstep. It seems the mother was a"friend" of Jack's who is unable to copewith single parenthood. Meanwhile Jack,demonstrating an impeccable sense of tim-ing, has left the country for a location shootin Turkey.

Peter and Michael are baffled by theneeds of an infant and outraged at theirmissing-in-action roomie. Some genuinelyfunny scenes evolve from their trial and er-ror method of childcare. Obvious parallelscan be drawn to the film "Baby Boom."Both approach the dilemma of adults whoare left with unsolicited children, but "ThreeMen" does it with more crackle and energy.

Tom Selleck is well-suited to the role ofPeter, who's affections are finally engagedby a 6-month old child. He's warm and ap-pealing; his reactions to Baby Mary rangefrom annoyed to firmly attached. (We knowit's love when he starts taking her on con-struction sites — she has her own miniature,pink, hard hat.)

Mary is sweetly irresistable, and whenJack returns some weeks later, the child isfirmly ensconced in the bachelor household.

A sub-plot involving drug smugglers pro-vides needed relief from a potential overdoseof adorable. It seems that Jack, before hisdeparture, gave an acquaintance permissionto have a package delivered to the apart-ment. The package (unbeknownst to him)contains heroin, and it arrives the same dayas the other "surprise package."

The drugs are mislaid and confusionreigns. Two thugs looking for the heroin andnarcotics officers looking for them make lifeeven more interesting for the amateurdaddies.

Leonard Nimoy displayed nice flashes ofhumor in his direction of "Star Trek IV." Hetakes it a step further in "Three Men," andthe effect is pleasing. Nimoy's style and therich backgrounds are both visually appeal-

The lights are burning at the Pirate PlayhouseBy JULIE NIEDENFUERIslander staff writer

Not only will the lights beburning at the PiratePlayhouse this season, they'llbe shining brighter than ever.One half of the Lund/Toperzerteam that has been producingplays at the theater for the pastthree years says thisyear's lineup tops them all.

"These are the cleverestshows we've done so far,"Robert Toperzer says.

The three comedies (thefourth and final one hasn't yetbeen decided) are "Vanities,""How the Other Half Loves,"and "The Nerd."

Toperzer says he "racked hisbrain" to come up with thoseparticular plays. He's been try-ing for two years, for instance,to get the rights to do "TheNerd." (Often those who own

Producers say this season's lineupof comedies is 'the cleverest yet'the rights to a play withholdpermission for anybody else todo it if they feel it could com-pete with their ownproduction.)

The cast has already begunrehearsals for "Vanities"which opens Dec. 21. Toperzersays the play has to do with"startling growing pains."

As the play opens, the year is1963. We meet three Texas highschool cheerleaders who areseated — where else? — attheir vanities. We soon discoverthe girls' lives are almostidentical.

When next we see them, fiveyears later, the girls are in acollege sorority, and stillleading nearly parallel lives.

But by the time 1974 rollsaround, we find the threecharacters have taken very dif-ferent paths through life.

The play stars Carrie Lund,Kelly Duncan — an actressfrom Sanibel who recentlyreturned from the Asolo stagein Sarasota, and Donna Shan-non, a New York actress whowill be making her debut at thePirate Playhouse.

Lund's husband, RobertCacioppo, directs the play.Cacioppo is also from NewYork.

'Photography is the most innovative art form today/

Maggie Foskett makes art happen in the darkroomBy MARA VERTREESIslander staff writer

When most of us think of photography we think of acamera, but for prize-winning photographer MaggieFoskett, the art really happens in the dark room andher enlarger is her primary tool.

"I really got hooked on photography when I wentfrom the lens on my camera to the lens on myenlarger," she says.

She had always carried a camera around but itwasn't until two of her four children were grown andout of the house that she took a one-week adult coursein photography and learned to process her own prints.Excited about the way she could use light and ex-

posure to make a snapshot into a work of art, shebegan to learn all she could about the process throughbooks and trips to museums.

"The best way to learn is to look at goodphotographs," she says.

"People think photography is such a reproducibleart. They are ready to accept a reproduction of aphotograph from a book or a magazine, when theywould never settle for a picture of a painting in place

of the real thing. Any reproduction, no matter howfine, is not the same as the original print.

"To really understand a photograph, to see what theartist wanted to get out of it you have to look at theoriginal print from a few inches away. That's the bestway to learn about photography," she says.

Maggie began printing in black and white but nowshe works almost entirely in color. She says that learn-ing in black and white is essential because it teachesyou .composition, but that once she felt she hadmastered the basic techniques of black and white shewas ready to move on.

"Some people stay in black and white and there isreally so much that you can do with it, but I knew thatI wanted to work in color. For me it is more sensuousand personal, more evocative of mood," she says.

She feels that color photography is really paintingwith light. Because of this she rejects the bright whitestrobe lighting of studio photography and uses insteadthe natural outdoor light for her shots.

Outdoor light becomes part of the composition. Sheplans for morning shots to bring out the yellows and

> reds, or evening light to bring out bluesand purples in her subjects. She alsofeels natural light is importantbecause it affects the mood of the pieceand the photographer.

"When a cloud passes over the sun itaffects the color of the subject and italso affects you," she says.

Perhaps some of her feel for time ofday and use of natural light comesfrom her experiences with one of herteachers. She studied under AnselAdams, a master photographer famousfor his outdoor photographs and hisunderstanding and use of natural light.

Foskett uses Chibachrome process-ing to make her prints. The process ismore expensive and time-consumingthen conventional color processing butthe prints are sharper and moredurable, lasting over 100 years withoutdetectable color loss.

As important as light is to Foskett'sfine art photographs she is workingmore and more often in the dark as shebegins to experiment with unconven-tional forms of photography. Her latestworks include photograms, a form ofphotography where images are createddirectly from the enlarger without us-ing film or a negative.

The prestigious Print Club just ac-cepted for a show, one of herphotograms, "A Shutterbug Lives forthe Day."

To produce the piece she placed an X-ray between glass, placed several ob-jects on the glass, then exposed thecomposition onto light sensitive paperwith her enlarger. The result isdramatic and unusual.

A feature of the print even surprisedher when the bead necklace she hadplaced on the glass created reflectionsthat added a fantasy feeling to the com-position, she says.

Foskett tries to use photography ininteresting and innovative ways evenwhen she is employing traditionaltechniques. In her "Off Shore" series,which is on exhibit at the Sanibellibrary, she uses her macro lens andnatural light to show detail in color andform that she has found in commonshore items such as horseshoe crabsand seagull feathers.

Through her sights a herring and asequined hat become conducters ofshimmering opalescent color.

"Photography is the most innovativeart form today," says Foskett. "Artistsin other media, like painting, are using

HOMEOWNERS TAX REFORMWINNER

QUESTION: How did thehomeowner make out underthe latest lax Reform Act?

ANSWER: In the midst ofdrastic cutbacks in investmentpreferences everywhere elsein the tax code, owners of thefirst and second homes are thebig winners.

Deducibility of mortgageinterest and property taxes forprimary and second homes re-mains completely intact. Thisis often the largest tax deduc-tion for most homeowners andwill continue to be so. Also, in-tact are the rules that allowyou to defer tax on the profitwhen you sell if you roll overinto another home and the$125,000 tax exclusion fromprofit if you are over age 55.

tage Ayckbourn. Pirate Playhouse audiences mightremember last year's production of his "RelativelySpeaking." The plot, some may recall, was com-plicated — to say the least.

"The Other Half" is similarly complex."It's typical of his use of time and space," Lund

says. In this play, the living room and dining roomof two different households overlap. But the coupleswho inhabit those two spaces never interract onstage.

"It's a play about misconstrued affairs," Toperzersays. Two couples are cheating, but it's the third —and innocent — pair who get the beating, he says.

Last year, Larry Shue's "The Foreigner" wassuch a hit at the playhouse, producers extended itsrun. Shue's "The Nerd" has all the makings for suchpopularity. Island audiences are fortunate to see theplay; Toperzer believes it's the first time the com-edy has ever been done in Florida.

It's about a Milwaukee architect who is depressedabout his current situation — his girlfriend is mov-ing away and his life is dull. It doesn't remain so forlong.

Apparently, while serving in the war years before,his life had been saved by a stranger. The architectmanages to get the stranger's phone number andleaves a message on his answering machine sayinghe'll do anything for him because he had saved hislife.

Little did the architect realize the stranger is atotal nerd who ends up nearly destroying the ar-

chitect's life.The cast calls for five men, two women and a

child. Lund and Toperzer hope to find a youngsterfrom the Island to act in the play.

"The Nerd" opens Feb. 23.Audiences will see at least one familiar face —

besides Lund and Toperzer — onstage this year. Ac-tor and director Gordon Gray will be back. AndMelissa Smith, who acted and directed last year,might also return.

Light and set designer Ken Loewit is manning thatpost once again, and-last year's stage manager,Dena Allen, has also returned for the season.

Lund and Toperzer arrived back on the Islandseveral days ago after spending the summer in theirrespective theatrical pursuits.

Toperzer spent part of the off-season reviving asummer stock company in Stowe, Vt, where he wasalso artistic director and star (he played Baron VonTrapp) in "The Sound of Music." After the musicalclosed, he traveled to Europe, where, he says, hesaw some very good theater, but also a lot of verybad theater.

Besides getting married this summer, Lund wasenrolled in arts management courses and studied ac-ting under Terry Schreiber.

She says she's glad to be back, and is excitedabout the upcoming season.

"We've upgraded the standards for the company,"she says. "We've gotten better housing and bettersalaries for the actors." (Although they still need

housing for the "crunch" during February andMarch when several actors will be here at the sametune, she says.)

The price of tickets this year is $12; no subscrip-tions will be offered. And the theater is still lookingfor volunteers to man the box office.

Learn bridge through adult coursesThe Sanibel-Captiva Adult Courses are once again

Women's collegebasketball teamgoes hoop crazy

The Sanibel Recreation Complex wenthoop crazy last week.

Not only did the regular men's basketballleague begin its 10-week season, but two newleagues were inaugurated — an old-timers'league (men over 38) and a youth league(youth 9-13).

But undoubtedly thebest basketball team onthe floor last week com-mitted "suicide" at theend of practice.

Well, the University ofNorthern Iowa women'sbasketball team didn'tactually commit suicidethis past Monday, theyran them.

After a full two hoursof scrimmages, defen-sive and reboundingdrills, and freethrow

contests, the women ran "suicides," dashingabout 10 yards one way, then sprinting back.They continued until they were ready todrop.

This Division I team, with its two 6'4"centers, is ready to take on the country —that is if they didn't get too much sunburnover the past weekend while on Sanibel.

"That's a major problem we're trying totivoid!" joked coach Kim May den, whoseparents, Dr. Robert and Carol Mayden, owna home in Ferry Landings on Sanibel.

While that's obviously the "Sanibel Con-nection," it was a friendship developed bet-ween Mayden's brother Jeff and blanderRoger Flemming that sent the Cedar Fallsschool to the recreation complex for twopractices last week.

"They're a little tired after playing twogames in Florida, then arriving here onSanibel at 3:30 a.m. on Saturday," Maydensaid.

The team plays in the Gateway Inter-collegiate Conference, with teams such asSouthern Illinois (ranked 16th in the coun-try), as well as Illinois State, SouthwestMissouri, Drake, and others.

They played two non-conference games inFlorida, losing to Stetson University, butdefeating Florida Southern University for a1-1 start of their possibly 27-game regularseason.

"Coming to Florida and Sanibel is a uni-que experience for these players," Maydensaid. "Most of them have never been out ofthe state (Iowa), and I think only two haveever seen the ocean before. If not for collegeathletics, they wouldn't be having this kindof experience."

This is Mayden's fourth year coaching theUniversity of Northern Iowa. She played col-lege ball for Ball State in basketball crazyIndiana.

"Women's basketball is the top women'ssport at our school," Mayden said. "It's afairly new and growing sport among women.I'd guess we in Iowa have had a team only adozen or more years."

Crowds of about 800-1,500 come out towatch the women play. Meanwhile, atschools such as Southern Illinois, over 2,000will watch women's basketball.

"Surely there is no comparison with men'sbasketball — yet," Mayden said.. Neverthless, all the team players are cur-rently on scholarship, thanks to the changingnature of women's sports in the scheme ofcollegiate athletics.

The school has one fulltime recruiter who

'Dedication to Olympic campaign' landsNewmeyer a spot on winter boardsailing teamBy SUZETTE BEIGELIslander staff writer

"Go For The Gold" is the cam-paign slogan windsurfer RinnNewmeyer has been using in hisquest to reach the 1988 Olympics.

And his quest to reach the top isslowly being fulfilled.

The campaign will continue infull force because Newmeyer wasrecently selected to the U.S.Boardsailing Winter TrainingTeam due to his "position in theNational Rankings anddemonstrated dedication to hisOlympic campaign," states his of-ficial acceptance letter.

Newmeyer, ranked ninth in thecountry in the lightweight divi-sion, is thrilled for himself and forhis family and is ready to jumpinto the upcoming boardsailingevents.

Previously the Olympic Train-ing Team consisted of eight to 12sailors, Tom Newmeyer, Rinn'sfather, says. This year, he adds,the team was enlarged to addeight more members.

"This second group will put

pressure on the first group andwill make them push harder inthe races. Also, it will allow theeight to practice and possiblyallow one or two members to sur-pass members of the first group,"Tom Newmeyer says.

In early spring, after vigoroustraining and many scheduledevents, eight boardsailors will beselected to the official Olympicteam. However, this will not be afinal decision on who will travel to

Korea to the '88 games.Instead, in June, the U.S. Olym-

pic Trials in Newport, R.I., willdetermine the overall winner plusan alternate who will travel toKorea along with Olympic CoachMajor Hall.

What are Newmeyer's chances?"As good as anyone else's, if not

better," his father says. "WithRinn's persistance and personal

Sanibel Causeway thisweekend when the O'NeillEastern Championship racesget underway.

The regatta is a multi-classrace, Ben McGuire of Winsur-fing of Sanibel, said. It willencompass every event forevery style sailor.

90 percent of the Olympic

U.S. Boardsailing WinterTraining Team, includingRinn Newmeyer, is expectedto participate. Olympic CoachMajor Hall will also be at theraces.

Triangle and slalom racingwill dominate the regattawhich will begin at 11 a.m. onSaturday, Dec. 12 and con-tinue at 8 a.m. the next day.

Leading commands aboard 27' Soling givesdifferent meaning to pleasure of sailing on Captiva watersBy SUZETTE BEIGELIslander staff writer

When you're sailing aboard a 27' Soling off theshores of South Seas Plantation with a breeze fluff-ing the sails and dolphins lifting their snouts abovethe blue waters, the last thing you can think about isfollowing the proper commands needed to sail a boatsafely.

Instead you relax. But only for a short whilebecause the call "Ready about" clears your headand you prepare to change from the port tack to thestarboard tack in order to turn the bow of the boatinto the wind to move along.

You finish turning after "Hard alee" is called andjjpur turn is completed and everything is perfectagain.

Sailing with Kirk Williams, a top instructor forSteve Colgate's Offshore Sailing School at South SeasPlantation, was a pleasure in addition to a great

learning experience for a beginning sailor likemyself.

The school offers several different courses toanyone from a beginner to an advanced racingboater.

Colgate founded the Offshore Sailing School. Hebegan the school with only one boat and one instruc-tor in City Island, N.Y., and expanded his efforts toBay Point, Fla.; Tortola, British Virgin Islands;Newport, R.I.; East Hampton, N.Y.; and CaptivaIsland.

Through experienced instructors like Williams, theschool at South Seas offers a three-hour mini-clinicand week-long courses. Topics include "Learning toSail," "Sailing and Cruising on a Laser 28,""Bareboat Preparation on 36-50 Footers," "LiveAboard Cruising," "Sailboat Racing," and "Inten-sive Racing."

goal (of going to the Olympics), he isa sure bet to go far."

But while his persistance and deter-mination are in full force, his cam-paign funds fall into another category.

"We always receive plenty of sup-port from the Island people," TomNewmeyer stresses, "but with a newplateau being reached, more money isneeded."

When the campaign started, $16,000was given to the United States Inter-national Sailing Association for an ac-count in the name of Rinn Newmeyer.The money went toward windsurfingequipment and traveling expenses.And when you're dealing with$300-$400 sails and trips to places out-side Florida for competition, themoney dwindles quickly.

But because of his selection to theWinter Training Team, Newmeyerfeels more confident about himselfand feels more people will be in-terested in his campaign. Newmeyeris trying to raise the money in order"to bring the gold home to Sanibel."

Gulf Suzuki in Fort Myers alreadyhas provided Newmeyer with a car tocarry his equipment. For this he will

return the favor and do a local com-mercial for the company. v

Windsurfing of Sanibel has alsobeen a great supporter of the cam-paign providing needed equipment attimes.

Other services are provided whenNewmeyer gives talks to localorganizations. During these talks,Newmeyer shows a video made forhis campaign with the highlights ofhis career and support of the Islandand the media.

"People are interestd in Rinn," hisfather says. "But when a step likebecoming a member of the team fallsinto place, they will be moreinterested."

Newmeyer's determination to reachthe top is shown by the fact that he'sonly been windsurfing since 1982.Through the five or so years he's beenpracticing, he's had enough gusto tonearly reach the top.

With a family interested in watersports, Newmeyer was a sure bet tojump on the bandwagon. He startedcompeting in local boardsailing racesand began winning more frequently infreestyle and triangle competitions.

At that point, a "red flag" went upin the minds of Newmeyer and hisfamily and they decided Rinn was in-deed good enough to take a shot at theOlympics.

And then the letter arrived andNewmeyer knew he was on his way tothe top.

After continuous training throughmid-January of sailing, lifting weightsand running, Newmeyer will travel toMelbourne as part of a training ses-sion sponsored by the OlympicYachting Committee.

In addition to competing there,Newmeyer will teach clinics to learnwindsurfing speed and handling.Teaching a clinic is a requirement inorder to qualify.

An '88 schedule of events lists com-petition in Florida, California and theBahamas. In mid-May Newmeyer willtravel to Brest, France, andMedemblik, Holland, for Europeanregattas. After this, the OlympicTrials will be held to determine theoverall winners.

Newmeyer is hoping to attend all ofthese events in preparation for thesummer games. He is also hoping to

have a new board soon for trainingpurposes and for the actual competi-tion should he go to Korea.

The new Lechner board is made inAustria but cannot be imported to thestates. The estimated cost of theboard plus shipping costs to a Euro-pean destination is $3,000. Newmeyerand his father are desperately tryingto raise money to get the boardbecause it is the board for the Olym-pics, they believe. "The Lechnerwould make the whole difference,"Newmeyer says.

Newmeyer is anxious to get thingsunderway. He will be competing atthe O'Neill Eastern Championship onDec. 12-13 on the Sanibel Causeway.He says he looks forward to racing athome.

Representing his country at theOlympics would be a thrill,Newmeyer says, and he is determinedto reach that goal.

Like his acceptance letter stated,"with his position in the rankings andthe dedication to his Olympic cam-paign," Newmeyer has only one wayto go and that's "For The Gold."

Good December weather means lucky angling on the waterThe first two weeks in December are usually some

of the most dependable good weather days of thewinter months, and that is reflected in the fishingluck. This week let's take a broad view of what'sbiting and talk about some related fishing notes.

The Spanish mackerel are still along the beaches,some within 100 yards — where the seas are rollingand dirty. The fish have been with us for a goodmonth or more and are taking spoons in relation totheir sizes.

If you see that the fish are small, either the firstone you catch or one from a neighboring boat, youshould downsize your lures. The silver spoons aremade in sizes of 3/0 or 4/0, the largest you will needfor Spanish mackerel.

However, fish just over the 12-inch minimum havebeen showing up more than the larger ones andspoons of 1/0 or even 0/0 are working well.

The key is to have several pairs of sizes when youare trolling. The northern fly fishermen use the oldterm "match the hatch" to get bait similar in size towhat the trout are feeding upon. The same holds

ON THEWATERBy Capt. Mike Fuery

true for us marine anglers. The baitfish have beensmall lately, so try those little lures.

Redfishing is legal until the end of this month.Some of the hardcore reds anglers around Captivahave been getting their one-fish-per-person limit.When the season first reopened Oct. 1, there weresome larger fish around. No red over 27 inches canbe kept and the minimum is 18 inches.

There were complaints that the fish were toolarge, but now the opposite is true. There are manyredfish in the 16-17-inch class that have to be

returned.The easiest way to fish is to work the mangrove

shorelinesfrom peak high tide to two hours out.Large shrimp, or small pinfish if you can get them,are the best baits.

Snook season will also end on the last day ofDecember. Once the summer mating time has pass-ed we see less and less of the favorite gamefishsome anglers consider THE best eating fish there is.

However, when we lived at Mariner Point, the con-dominiums just this side of the Causeway, dedicatedjig and plug casters took snook from the canalsthere all winter long. It takes patience and lots ofcasts, but you can connect.

The offshore grouper fishing should start to reviveafter the summer. The secret here — just likemackerel fishing — is to pick your weather. Listen-ing in on the VHF radio provides a good picture ofwhat's happening, but windy days usually keep mostsensible anglers at home.

and the sand dollar.As the poinsettia represents Christmas, the top

side of the sand dollar has the lily flower etchedthere and is a flower for Easter.

If you aren't particular about reading such thingsinto your shell collections, just place your sanddollars on the tree and enjoy.

One of my favorite shells is the oddly shapedworm shell. Don't let the name put you off, these aretwisting, individually shaped shells from 2 to 8inches.

They also make wonderful additions to any IslandChristmas tree. We use ribbons here, too, but I recallless prosperous times when fishing Une did the trick.

Of course, would any Christmas party be completewithout little snacks for visitors on the eve of the bignight?

Take those big cockle shells you've co^ected andglue three together at the points or hea \ Use softsilicon glue and they make fine serving "hes for avariety of things in this season.

And don't forget to put out a few dozen woysters for your guests. This time of the \ r theyare large and plump and traditional for u.Islanders.

There's hardly a shell that won't add a touch ofSanibel and Captiva Islands to your Christmas tree.And it makes the tree unique. Happy decorating.

Sailing Continued from page 16B

The cost of the courses ranges from$75 for the mini-clinic to $1295 for theweek-long live aboard cruise.

During season, Williams said, about12 instructors are provided for thoseinterested. The rest of the time threeinstructors lead sailors.

For myself, Williams taught thebasics of sailing an Olympic Class '27Soling. No more than four studentsare assigned to each boat at the mini-course, but in my case a one-on-onelesson was given.

With life jackets secure in the boat,we prepared for sailing.

Setting up sails was the first majorstep. The sails were carried on boardand usually it is up to the student,with the instuctor's help, to set up thesails. Once the sails were up, we wereready to head out of the marina.

Because of my inexperience as asailor, I was more than happy, asany beginner would be, to let myinstructor lead the way.

However, even though the steeringwas under control, the sails needed tobe looked after. Williams led with theproper commands, which are muchencouraged, and taught me how totack properly.

It's tough at first if you're a first-time sailor because you're unwindingone rope and winding up another. Ifyou're uncoordinated, like me, it getsconfusing!

But you can get the hang of it,which I did. At that point, when I wasjust ready to get involved in enjoyingthe scenery, Williams said I should

get the feel of steering.But steering and controlling the

sails is not the only thing taught.Williams also emphasized points ofsail — the direction of the boat inrelation to the direction of the wind.With wind being the main factor of asailboat, I can easily understand whyhe kept asking me which direction thebreeze was blowing.

At one point, Williams threw afloating seat overboard and it was upto me to sail back and get it. This isstressed just in case a person fallsoverboard.

Besides teaching me nautical ter-minology, stopping a boat, navigationrules and other instuctions, Williamsmade me feel safe to be out on theboat. While the water was by nomeans rough that day, I was given anoverall class instruction up to par inthe three hours.

By the time we pulled back into themarina I felt confident to go rightback out and do it again.

And that's the way many studentsfeel, Williams said. Many peoplecome back year after year and takethe course all over again.

There is a course for everyone in-terested in learning the techniques tosafe boating, Williams said, it justdepends on what you're looking for.

So even if the scenery clouds yourhead for a while, you'll still walkaway from the dock feeling confidentand excited about making your nextsailing trip.

Sea trout fishing has been sporadic this past week.There are lots of fish under the legal 12 inches, butsome keepers are going to hit the fish box if youkeep at it long enough.

Try using a Love Lure jig. A fella brought me apackage of them the other day. They are two lighthires on a single leader outfit. We put small tips of

shrimp on one of the jigs. The pink colors seem towork well, but color is always secondary to the jigg-ing action you give the lure.

If you are lucky enough to be able to get somegood early December weather, then you'll have easyfishing in these quiet days before the holiday seasonarrives. Good fishing.

Islander visits the Soviet Union?i commentator reports there are good things,things about life in the communist country

'< <;? 1>&2PP^?

HN HEMPSTEAD

' chiefly by curiosity, this summer I. . about three weeks in the Soviet Union. I joined

J in Frankfurt, Germany, with 34 others, most ofiom were from the United States.W<*- new from there to Moscow, then to Leningrade.-n we spent three nights before returning byeriaghi irain to Moscow. After spending several

aore days there, we flew to Kazan, roughly 500, : liles to the east. In Kazan we boarded a river! • essel, Ms Alexander Pushkin, for a 1,200-mile trip

down the Volga and Don rivers, stopping at variouscities along the way.

We disembarked in Cossack country at Rostov-on-Don from which we returned to Moscow.

Based on my experiences I would certainly notcare to live in the USSR. For the natives it is veryrime-consuming and frustrating simply to put a mealtogether. The closest thing to a supermarket seemsco be a number of separate stands under one roof —each specializing in a few items — sometimes onlyone. For example, I saw an orderly line of 20 peopleat one stand that sold only cabbage.

In Rostov-on-Don from a block away I saw a longline of women on the sidewalk. Curious, I discoveredit was caused by a sidewalk vendor who had justopened a large case of lipsticks which he was peddl-ing for about $15 each.

Even in the berioskas (the name given to theshops used by foreigners and where only hard cur-rency is accepted) there was very little to purchase.One stood in line to select an article behind thecounter and have the clerk fill out a bill of sale. Youthen waited in a separate line to pay a cashier the

amount of the sale before returning to the originalline to reclaim the article.

Aeroflot flights were late, crowded, with no assign-ed seats and one unflushable toilet to serve as manyas 180 people.

Housing, while cheap, is unbearable by Americanstandards and after laboriously gathering the ingre-dients the cook must share the kitchen with othertenants. What is worse, or would be for me, mostpeople must share toilet facilities.

Drunkenness is a problem in spite of Soviet leaderMikhail Gorbachev's efforts to reduce the consump-tion of vodka, which, incidentally, is more expensivethan here in Florida.

But I'm running out of bad things to say — leavingout my natural aversion to communism for the mo-ment, I will comment from a traveler's point ofview.

I had talked to many people who had visitedMoscow at least in past years. So none of the abovebad things came as a surprise. Further, everyonehad complained about the terrible meals they hadbeen furnished, the rundown hotel rooms they hadoccupied, and the feeling they were being "watched"or monitored at all times.

My experiences, as you will see, were quite dif-ferent. I can only account for the differences as thesurfacing of Gorbachev's reforms since none of myfriends had been there within the past two years.Few visited Russia last year due to the Chernobylincident.

For me, the good things (each a surprise)included:•Exceptionally good meals throughout — attractive-ly served and with good service.

The above is but a sampling of our experiences.[Sound interesting? It was.

The Soviet Union has many problems of which Iiwas not aware prior to the visit. It is not a monolith.It is comprised of about 15 republics of which Russiais the largest and the one we hear the most about.But the USSR incorporates many diverse peoples of

various religions who speak something like 200languages and dialects. There are also manyunresolved historic rivalries and prejudices.

I was abie to communicate with perhaps 40 or 50Soviet citizens during the visit. Without exceptionthese people were enthused about Mr. and Mrs. Gor-bachev and what he has been able to bring about injust two years with his policies of "glasnost" and' 'perestroika" (restructuring).

Their eyes would light up with the thoughts ofwhat might be ahead for greater freedom and betterrelations with the United States. But then they wouldbecome resignedly sad and say openly that they didnot feel Gorbachev would prevail and be able tocarry out his programs. They feared that the com-bination of the old guard in the policy-making Polit-buro and middle level bureaucrats — many of whomwere likely to lose their jobs under Gorbachev'sreform program — would win the power struggle.

For seven weeks following my return the westernpress reported that no one had seen Gorbachev in

person or on live television for that period. Therewere rumors that he had been poisoned.

I could only guess what the people I had talked towere thinking. They had been looking to him as aman interested in peace — contrasted with, in theirminds, war, like President Reagan.

At this time Gorbachev appears to be "hangingon" although forced to fire one of his top aides. Ihope that the summit talks with President Reaganwill enhance both of their positions. I would hate toreturn to the uncommunicative days of Stalin andhis successors. I am sure that the people of theSoviet Union fear it more.
