Loggerhead TurtleSaved By Beachgoersby Brian Johnson

In a.real life rescue mission, vacationers and workers from theDepartment of Environmental Protection saved a giantLoggerhead turtle.Tolak Besman and Nancy Arena, visiting from Minnesota, were

walking on the beach by Blind Pass last Thursday when they noticeda turtle caught in a blue crab trap.

Arena stayed on the beach to watch the turtle while Besman, herboyfriend, ran to Hal's Grocer to call for help.

At 12:30 p.m. CROW (Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife) con-tacted Sam Landry and Dee Faulk, workers in charge of turtlestrandings on Sanibel.

Landry and Faulk arrived at the scene in minutes and began arescue operation which would take more than four hours to com-plete.

During the course of the day, five more beachgoers joined in."The3e guys took four or five hours out of their day in the'sun

just to help save a sea turtle," said Landry, the Captiva Coordinatorof the Sea Turtle Program. "They did all the right things."

Recognition Luncheon Held

Speaking with a soft Louisiana drawl, pioneer homesteaderLaetitia Ashmore Nutt revisited Sanibel recently in the person ofJody Brown recreating the courageous woman who arrived in

1888 and became an involved and active islander.Introducing her remarks to Historical Village and Museum volun-

teers at their Recognition Luncheon, Laetitia gingerly picked up theunfamiliar microphone which she handled with some suspicion andsaid to her audience, "Ah was told if Ah spoke into this Ah could beheard at the rear of the room."

Brown, who looked the part in a graying wig, steel-rimmed glass-es, white blouse with dark skirt and high-button shoes, spoke fromentries in Nutt's diaries and other writings covering subjects fromfreed slaves to education v. experience and the honor of Southerngentlemen.

The widowed Mrs. Nutt arrived here with her mother-in-law, herbrother James Ashmore, and three grown daughters: Cordie, Lettieand Nan. Each of their group (except the mother-in-law) claimed ahomestead parcel of 160 acres and set about building their home,Grey Gables.

The house still stands on West Gulf Drive. Members of the familyare buried in the little cemetery plot on the property.

Laetitia's husband Leroy Moncure Nutt had raised a regiment tofight in the War Between the States, and his wife with their threesmall daughters trailed him from post to post through his militarystint. She confided to her diary that had not been the right thing todo, that the girls "would have been better left at home".

Mrs. Nutt was appointed postmistress in 1889 and had the firstpost office on Sanibel in her home where she also took in boardersand taught day students. Active in the community she was a leader inorganizing the Fort Myers Chapter of United Daughters of theConfederacy. She died in 1914.

The Historical Village, 950 Dunlop Road, illustrates the lives ofSanibel's early settlers-and their lifestyles. It its open Wednesdaythrough Saturday each week from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. 472-4648.3&

far and wide to experience the wonders of this very special place.This week we have provided a roster of those persons who believe, that while

there is a need for service, there is a need equal to that... a need to provide a"classroom" and the tools with which those volunteers might better meet therequirements of the visitor, especially the children, who come to experience andlearn about the natural environment of Southwest Florida.

Hundreds of thousands of visitors have provided financial support to the cam-paign. Those listed have provided a minimum of $1000. The Society thanks all,for without this sharing the purpose of the Society could not be met.

The Mayor'sFact-findCouncil's Revisionof P.C. Fact-find:"Garbage"By Fran Nuelle

Declaring that the City Council'ssystematic nit-picking of thePlanning Commission's 47

"What we know now" facts and itsadditional 48 "What we would like toknow" was a "learning experience,"Mayor Bob Janes on Tuesday dissented1-4 for approval.

"I won't vote for this thing," MayorJanes said. "I think it's a piece ofgarbage—and we are poorly served toforward this on (to Lee CountyCommissioners). It doesn't do what wewant it to do. (Dick) Walsh and Hartley(Kleinberg) are right on target.

Walsh had earlier said, afterCouncilors had gone through facts oneby one to amend, "The revision of thePlanning Commission's report seemsto amend the report. (City Councilors)have heard no one, and who are theyto go in and change the facts? Forgetall about the Commission's report toyou. (Revision) puts you in a deticateposition..."

Kleinberg said, "There is no intro-duction to and no summary of 'Whatwe now know,' and 'What we need toknow.' Also it is inconsistent. If stating

a fact, you must state also the source ofthat fact. Without sources, there is alack of credibility."

The Planning Commission hadspent more than six months accumulat-ing through the County's OutreachProgram, moderated and managed byKris Cella of Cella, DeBerry &Associates, its information. Its finalfact-find without recommendation tothe City Council was in the form ofnumbered statements.

It was these statements that fourCity Councilors amended one by oneor left unchanged on Tuesday withJanes not happy with the process.Tuesday's was also the second attemptat revision as earlier amendments byCouncilors Steve Brown, AndrewReding and Nola Theiss were graftedonto the fact-find. (Councilor BillHillebrandt, then on the PlanningCommission, had been instrumental inthe format of the drafting and did notpresent earlier revisions to CityAttorney Bob Pritt.}

One problem facing Councilors wasthat Cella, present at Commissionmeetings as was Lee County'sDepartment of Transportation ScottGilbertson, had already incorporatedthe Commission's unofficial findings inher report to the County upon comple-tion of her job.

Cella had therefore by-passed CityCouncilors who are now struggling fora proper way to present their adamantviews on, especially, no replacement ofdrawbridge with fixed span.

Prior to the vote, Hillebrandt com-mented, "It's just about presentation."

The motion would have thePlanning Department, under Council'scharge, clean up the "inconsistencies,"if there are any, and spruce up the for-mat with introduction and summary ifnecessary.

The original and ongoing replace-ments in "Fact-Finding Report SanibelCauseway & Bridges" are available forreading at City

CouncilApproves$50,100 For NewParking Meters

Six of 12 parking meters needed tobe replaced, according to thePolice Department's Bill

Tomlinson on Tuesday, when he askedapproval by the City Council for

$50,100 to purchase them fromSchlumberger Technologies.

Councilors voted 4-1, with BillHillebrandt dissenting, for the pur-chase, a sum that also included $750for training, which Hillebrandt ques-tioned.

The machines being replaced "areoutdated, no longer manufactured andnot supported by the manufacturing ofnew replacement parts," according to amemo from Interim City Manager BobPritt. He added, "The old machines willbe traded in for the purchase of newparking meter machines."

Tomlinson told Councilors that$560,000 gross funds from themachines "is projected for this year."He said further that, depending uponthe machine, the income varies fromeach $6000 to $100,000 annually.^

Change OrdersFor Sewer ReuseLines Approved

City Councilors on Tuesdayapproved a resolution pertainingto the Sanibel Sewer System and

on a "fast track basis" to enter intochange orders with Hartman &Associates and contracts with otherqualified contractors for construction ofa reuse water line from Oliva Street toapproximately 1610 Middle Gulf Drive.

"Reuse will get us 50,000 to$100,000 gallons per day for greatercapacity," Utility Director John Heftytold Councilors on Tuesday atMacKenzie Hall. He also said, "Itmakes sense to put another line in atthe same time," saving about two-thirdsof cost at a later date.

Although Interim City Manager BobPritt had estimated the cost at$40,000, Hefty said it would be closerto $70,000.

The Council voted unanimously tobe ready for the change orders for bothHartman and contractors, although anybids to be let will await counsel from

the new citizens' WastewaterCommittee.

That committee is presentlyresearching whether the city shouldhave two wastewater plants—Donaxand Wulfert—or just one.=ft

"Title Defect" InSextant ParcelContract

R:esidents of Tennisplace inadver-tently had their way on Tuesday

twhen the Crowe parcel onSextant Drive at a canal, which the cityintended to purchase, was found tohave a "title defect."

Although City Councilors had earliergiven permission for the city to pur-chase the property—for some otherpublic purpose than a police dock—the"title defect" means the contract is nowvoid.

At the time the Council approvedthe purchase, which the city hadrequested for use as a police dock,neighborhood residents came toMacKenzie Hall protesting the pro-posed action. They prevailed-at leastfor purchase as a police dock.

Interim City Manager Bob Prittexplained this week to Councilors thatpassing a resolution not to purchase atthis time does not mean that the citycannot purchase at some future date.But it will not be used for a police dockif that happens as "the city will look forother places to keep the police boat,"Pritt explained in his memo.3^

Although certain city staff andCouncilors have felt they shouldchoose carefully which Lee

So City Councilor Andrew Redinglearned, he said, after talking to LeeCounty Commissioner Ray Judah."Ray had a completely opposite pointof view," explained Reding. "He asked,'Why aren't you there more often?' asthe County has to listen to (so many)outrageous development proposals. "#

The Time For TaxCuts Is NowBy Congressman Porter Goss

The sting of the tax burden thegovernment places on its citizens,is still fresh in the minds of most

Americans at this time of year First,we know the average American house-hold will pay $5,307 more in taxesthan the government needs to operateover the next ten years, and this isabove and beyond the amount neededto fully fund the Social Security budgetWe all know the federal bureaucracysimply feeds on excess revenues Thetruth is, the longer your money stays mWashington, the more likely it is thathard working Southwest Flondian fami-lies will be asked to support even morewasteful 1 spending programs

Next, consider that the IRS esti-mates that it takes the average taxpay-er 653 minutes (thats almost 11 hours)to fill out a standard 1040 form Thesefacts send a clear message the U Stax code is confusing, intrusive andunfair

Of course, official Washington hasnot agreed that we will strengthen ourSocial Security system in a way thatwill not affect those currently receivingSocial Security, while protecting and

giving flexibility to those who arebeginning to pay into the fund. That'sjob number one Yet, even aftershoring-up Social Security andMedicare, we have a budget surplusthat is a direct result of American sweatequity Why not let America's familiesinvest and spend their own money?

The typical American family paysmore in taxes than it spends on food,clothing, shelter and transportationcombined Since the Republicans havegained control of the Congress wehave cut the capital gains tax and pro-vided those with children a $500 per-child tax credit But this is not enoughOur monstrous tax code still needs sig-nificant simplification and we must fur-ther cut taxes to maintain our nation'srecord breaking prosperity

Earlier this year, I joined in propos-ing a 10% across the board tax cutThis is a fair, simple, progrowth, pro-family proposal that will allow workingAmericans to keep more of what theyearn Secondly, we need to stop penal-izing marriage. Many married coupleswho file income taxes jointly are forcedinto higher tax brackets in otherwords, two people oftentimes wouldpay less if they were not married. I alsobelieve that we must repeal the estatetax, further reduce the capital gains taxand repeal the Clinton-Gore tax hikeon Social Security

If we do not cut taxes, the big gov-ernment types will find a way to spendyour money The Administration hasalready introduced new spending pro-grams that will not only dram the sur-plus, but will also lead to new tax andspend limits that will ultimately cost thetaxpayers for years to come

Tax Freedom Day, the day whenAmericans stop working for the gov-ernment and begin working for theirfamilies, will once again fall on MayIOth this year The introduction ofmore spending programs would justpush this date even further ahead Inhopes of avoiding later and later TaxFreedom Days, I voted this week toamend tile U S Constitution by requir-ing a tougher standard and greateraccountability on those m governmentseeking to raise the taxes of Americansmust pay

Our "Tax Limitation Amendment"proposes an amendment to theConstitution to require a two-thirdsmajority vote for passage of any legisla-tion that will result in a tax increaseThis would hold true except ininstances during a period of war, orduring a military conflict that threatensnational security It seems that toomany people have forgotten that thegovernment does not have some innateright to confiscate the earnings of thepeople it serves The amendmentreceived the support of a majority ofthe House but it did not receive the2/3 "supermajonty" necessary toamend the U S Constitution Still, wesent a strong message to all members,don't raise taxes

If we want the economy to keepdoing well, we must take steps to makesure it happens Taxation puts a heavyburden on the economy. When taxesare too high, long term economicgrowth is stunted in order to maintainthis age of prosperity we must cut taxes

Sanibel's 25thAnniversary:It's In PlanningStageBy Fran Nuelle

The 25th Anniversary of Sanibelmay have to await the pleasureof the presence of the Blue

Angels and/or Congressman PorterGoss, according to Recreation DirectorHelene Phillips

On Tuesday, she said the anniver-sary is generally regarded as November5 but that Congressman Goss, who fig-ured prominently in Sanibel's founding,could not be present until December10

Presumably, the Blue Angels, sched-uled for a "flyover," can be on hand onNovember 5 Also on the day, sched-uled for the beach, is a huge blockparty.

But can't the celebration be for sixweeks, as the actual founding date isseveral, extending over a period ofweeks, with certain legalities havingbeen observed?

Phillips said, however, it has beentraditional to celebrate on November 5

Mayor Bob Janes had two sugges-tions Why not have CongressmanGoss send a video and/or celebrateyear-long?

Whatever happens, Councilorsthemselves will not sponsor other than

official notice They ask organizationsintending events to contact them,472-4135. Stay tuned #

In a fast pacedcomedy, the situation quickly becomesa zany attempt to work out all theproblems that ensue. "I laughed myselfsilly when I saw the original onBroadway", Smith reports. Althoughnot one of JT's trademark musicals, itis a play "right up the alley" he says.JT is also excited to be returning to thestage of an actor. "My role as Henry

Saunders in The Fantasticks remindedme how much I enjoy performing as anactor in a scripted play."

Helping to add to the zany mayhemare some of the areas most talentedactors. The four lovely ladies are playedby Unota Lucero, Beth Ellege, LeanneBraman and Deandre Mcgee. Also fea-tured are Jason Ross, [Love Makes theWorld Go Round, You Make Me FeelSo Young) and John Vessels (LoveMakes the World Go Round, Hooray

Be A RoverLover!by Jim Stevenson, Ph.D.

Plovers are some of themost adorable birds onearth. They have big

brown eyes, fat little bodies, nicecoloration and an abiding dispo-sition. They are found all overthe South, and accompany uson our beach walks or golfingadventures. Yet behind thefamiliarity is some amazingbehavior and interesting ecologywithin the secrets of thesebenign creatures.

Plovers constitute about ahalf-dozen species of shorebirds,found not only on shores, butvarious habitats near and awayfrom water. They may be sepa-rated from their closest relatives,the sand-pipers, by their largeheads, big eyes, short bills andchunky bodies. Unlike sand-pipers, which is a huge family ofbirds, they feed on the surface ofthe ground, instead of probinginto the sand or mud. This iswhy nothing more than a shortbill is required.

For many of us the mostfamiliar plover is the Killdeer.Named for their loud, obnoxious call, itis found in many neighborhoods andparking lots. A maverick shorebird, itprefers grass to water and bugs to foodfrom the shorelines. Easily identified byits two rings, Killdeer are most oftenspotted from car windows in residentialareas. Here, they nest in a shallow,hollowed out area in sand or pebbles.The young are precocial from hatch-ing, following Mom around after a briefrest time out of the egg. Any danger

The beach has a number of smallplovers, all of whom have a ring (partialin the Snowy). Others in this fraternityare the Piping, Wilson's andSemipalmated. The first two have lightbacks and the latter pair dark tops. Todistinguish them further, look at the billand leg color, and it's easy!

The famous rings are "ruptivemarks" that are said to break up thebird into pieces and make them appearinvisible-an adaptation shared by manybirds.

This color absorbs the sun's radiantenergy (low on the horizon in the arc-tic) and converts it to heat for the eggsin urgent need of a fast incubation peri-od. By their return in fall," they've allbut lost the black, probably making

people wonder where their name camefrom.

Looking similar to the Black-belliedis the remarkable Golden Plover. Theyalso nest high in the arctic, but then flyall the way to the southern tip of SouthAmerica for the winter-except that it'sreally another summer down there!This is the second longest migration ofany bird, and is done in a loop. Fallfinds them flying south around the lon-gitude of Florida and northward inTexas and Louisiana in spring. Uponarriving in winter plumage, they maybe told from Black-bellies by their thin-ner bill, more brownish coloration, andthe absence of the black "wing pits" inthe Black-belly, that's is only seenwhen airborne. But if one is seen inMay, the lovely golden color of theback is evident, giving them such aname of royalty. They are most oftenseen in pastures that resemble theirarctic nesting grounds, and join theirfellow plovers as truly neat birds.^

Loggerhead Turtle

Releasing turtle from rope

Sam Landry

Phase one of the operation wasfinding the turtle, a male. Arena hadkept her eye on the turtle as best shecould, but he would submerge for up tofifteen minutes before coming up tothe surface. She lost track of the turtleas the rough surf carried him down thebeach toward Captiva.

"The winds were really wicked andthe tides were three to four feet tall,"said Landry.

Landry took a 4-wheel vehicle onthe beach and drove up and down untilat last they located the turtle.

When they found him, 1/4 milefrom where he had first been spotted,they began work on bringing him intoshore. Besman, Blake Witte (also fromMinnesota) and Fort Myers residentErol Taskin swam out to the turtle, sev-eral hundred yards out into the Gulf.

They hauled the Loggerhead, mea-suring more than three feet long andtwo feet wide, into safety. It took sever-al attempts and another trip to Hal'sGrocer's for a knife. They knew theywere racing against time because theturtle had a rope caught around hisneck and his mouth and was gaspingfor breath.

"It wouldn't have lived much

longer," said Landry, who last yearspent two days rescuing a turtle near'tween Waters Inn with the help ofdivers.

As the turtle got close to the shore-line, everyone helped to get him ontodry land. They needed all nine sets ofhands as the turtle weighed a whop-ping 350 pounds.

The group worked quickly to cutthrough the ropes, which had wrappedtightly around his neck and flippers.

"They had never even seen aLoggerhead turtle except on theDiscovery channel," said Landry of the

Minnesota visitors. "When we got it onthe beach the adrenaline was pump-ing."

After they loosened him from therope, they helped him back into thesea.

"It didn't take but two secondsbefore that guy was history. I'm surehe was exhausted," said Landry. "Itwas a 'God, I love this job' kind ofmoment."

With mating season starting on May1, Landry asked that boaters be espe-cially careful to watch out for turtles.^

away from the citrus tree I havemoved the vine of the Vanilla severaltimes out of the Pomelo It would notbe suitable for the orchid to grow in thetree as the vines of the orchid becomemassive and heavy. The fruit of thePomelo is important to me so I wantthe orchid to stay in its own space

Interested in this behavior, I haveresearched and found a number ofstudies regarding orchids lovingorchards In the orchard there is amplelight, space for the wind to blowthrough the branches, plenty of mois-ture and shade Just the right place foran orchid. Studies show there is a far

GardeningOn SanibelBy Hulda Walters

Ii"t has come to myattention that

.many of you thinkthere are no flowersyou can have duringthe summer monthsThis is not true - youcan now put in zinniaand mangold seedsand other regularsummer bloomers

you would have up north - the differ-ence is that you need to water themmore often and hopefully plant them inan area where they do not have all daysun, but only partial sun There are anumber of plants that one can have allyear round here - including geraniums,lantana, salvia and any number ofblooming shrubs such as the hibiscus,porter weed, butterfly plant, periwin-kles and often the bougamvillea willbloom most all summer

Right now 1 have roses, peace lilies,arundicus orchids, nasturtiums andsalvia in bloom as well as geraniumsand various shrubbery so one canalways have sufficient beauty outside aswell as cut arrangements in the houseThe orchids 1 mention are outsideorchids and I have one large flower bedjust a mass of color from them a greattouch of spring

Since we are told we can expect thisdry weather for probably another six

weeks or so and that rain we receivedSaturday was just a tease it is importantthat you continue to water, even at theearly hours asked for, to keep yourlawn and plants in good shape I noticethere are a few more yellow palmfronds than usual - due also to the dryweather - keep these yellowed onespruned off so the tree can use itsstrength for new fronds and maintain ahealthy appearance

This is a good time to set thoseEaster lilies out in your garden Do nottrim back the foliage, let it die downnaturally as this feeds the buib for nextyears bloom These bulbs do not last,usually, more than a year or two, butenjoy while you can Another thing youwant to watch is your lawn, with thisdry spell you can get all sorts of dis-eases in the sod, so don't let it get toodry and use a good pesticide occasion-ally to keep out the problem areas Ifyou water in the evening between 5and 7 try to make it as early as possibleso the plants can dry off to someextent or you will see mildew on themThis is especially true of roses as theywill get leaf spot if left damp overnight

One more thing to remember - don'tlet the leaves pile up too much on yourgrass - they will smother it out I rakethe large leaves, and mulch the smallerones Yes, there is always work to bedone outside here but the net resultsare worth it

Prize Winning PoetBy Pnscilla Friedersdorf

ASanibel resident, Marianne DilaStrickland, has won first place in the poet-ry contest sponsored by the Fort Myers

News-Press Her poem, "The wildflower BidensAlba", was one of three hundred unpublishedpoems entered in the contest

Strickland said, in an interview this week,"This poem was written in 1997, it was at atime when ! just felt the urge to write somethingchallenging I decided to try the sonnet format, itwas a wonderful exercise When you are restrict-ed to rhyme and meter you are forced to makeconnections you wouldn't ordinarily make, andpoetry is all about connections

' Seeds from the plant Bidens Alba werefound in a bottle aboard a Spanish galleon andwhen planted nearly three hundred years later,they grew I connected it to passion, it was athing that could not be governed, that wasunruly " One of the lines from her poem is, 'Athing that grew so wildly must be wrong "

Poetry, for Strickland, is her favorite form ofwriting "Why do 1 like writing poetry? 1 like itbecause of the dehciousness of words—you mustbe very specific in choosing a word, the wordhas to have a sound to it, all the words have tobe really special, that's what I like about it Themost difficult thing about writing poetry is decid-ing when you are finished Poetry grabbed mewhen I was a teenager It is hard to write, it isblood, sweat and tears but it is in short bites Ittakes a lot to write poetry and it takes a lot toread it, most people don t want the challenge ofreading poetry Poetry requires multiple readingsand I think it is mostly enjoyed by poets, by peo-ple who love it You read another poet, and yousay, 'Oh God, yes, absolutely "' Her favorite


poets are Mary Oliver and Maxine Kumin butthe poem she likes best is, "The Love Song of JAlfred Prufrock" by T S Eliot "He talks about,'measuring out life in coffee spoons and when Iam old will I dare to eat a peach and roll up mywhite pants and go barefoot ' The poem begins,'Let us go then, you and I, When the evening isspread out against the sky ' I believe it is the

Old Wicked Songs: A StoryOf Sadness, Joy And Liberation

Page », 'J

By Pamela Gilbert Wortzel

O ld Wicked Songs, the finalmamstage production of thePirate Playhouses' 1998-99 sea-

son, deals with a complex relationshipbetween a teacher and a student.Stephen Hoffman, played by JasonO'Neill, is a young American pianoprodigy who has lost his inspiration toplay He journeys to Vienna to workwith a famous teacher in order torekindle his enthusiasm for music - butwhen he arrives he finds that he muststudy voice with another, less well-known teacher before he can beaccepted as a student by ProfessorSchiller

Hoffman, a very tense young man,resents having to study with ProfessorJosef Mashkan, (played by RobertGrossman) an elderly, impoverishedteacher who is obviously desperate forstudents The antagonism between thetwo men is palpable, and only seems toincrease as the two continue to worktogether Hoffman's approach to musicis rigid and mechanical, and Mashkanscolds him for his obvious lack of feel-ing Mashkan tells his reluctant pupil,"art consists of knowing the rules andrealizing when it is time to deviate fromthem " He urges Hoffman to be in themoment, to experience the musicdirectly, but his student's approachremains removed and unemotional

Hoffman laments the loss of his pas-sion for music, but as the professor tellshim, "you cannot lose what you do notunderstand "

As the story progresses, it becomesclear that both men have secrets theyare hiding from one another Each ispretending to be something he is notThe play is set in 1986, when the reve-lations about Kurt Waldheim's Nazipast caused controversy and opened upold wounds Fulfilling a request by hisfather, Hoffman makes the short jour-ney to the site of the Dachau concen-tration camp, and the experiencereleases feelings he has been repress-ing The professor suffers a crisis of hisown, which elicits compassion fromHoffman, and a bond between thesetwo difficult men is finally establishedMashkan tells his student, "we musthear each other in order to have agrowing dialogue "

This thought-provoking, highly artic-ulate play is ultimately about the univer-sal language of music and two lostsouls who learn to communicatethrough its power Directed by guestdirector David Ellenstein with skill andsensitivity, Old Wicked Songs, is filledwith insightful observations about art,music and the human spirit RobertGrossman brings the complex charac-ter of Professor Mashkan to life withevident ease, his portrayal of thisproud, but wounded man is very mov-

ing Jason O'Neill over-came an apparent ner-vousness at the begin-ning of his perfor-mance and graduallyseemed to settle intothe skin of his charac-ter as the play pro-gressed Both actorsrose ably to the chal-lenge of delivering theirlines to accompanimentof pre-recorded pianomusic

The set design byWilliam Clarke wassparse and elegantSound designer ToddKinsley coordinated thecrucial musical ele-ments of this produc-tion skillfully Costumedesign by KimberlyStockton was simpleyet effective, asO'Neills' charactergradually loosens up,his clothes becomemore relaxed and someaspects take on a sym-bolic meaning

Final Playreading

The Interview

Faye Sholiton's The Interview, astudy of the relationship betweena strong-willed Holocaust survivor

and the woman who interviews her,receives a staged reading Sundayevening, April 25, as the final presen-tation in the Congress JewelersPlayreading Series at the PiratePlayhouse on Sanibel

Directed by Jennifer Hart,Playhouse managing director, TheInterview also casts a 'ghost" charac-ter, the survivor's estranged daughterThe women bring then pain to theencounter to help articulate ideas aboutunfinished business in mother-daughterrelationships and the toll taken bysilence between family membersFollowing two emotionally-charged ses-sions where the women examine theirparallel journeys, a young videographerenters and nearly derails the entireprocess

One reviewer says Shohton "weavesa well-conceived story about parentsand children who, because of their ownpain, go through life never really know-ing or understanding each other "Shohton explains "It's about the barri-er that goes up when two people can'ttalk about something, about the impactof silence in families If there's a pieceof history or a secret that makes abreach in a family, that breach getswider and wider as the years go by '

The award-winning playwright feelsthe subject of The Interview focuses

on something that touches everyone'sexperiences The play could just as easlly be about alcoholism or abuse orother problems in a dysfunctional fami-ly

As winner of the Dayton FutureFestcompetition and the Midwest TheatreNetwork's Rochester PlaywrightFestival, the thought-provoking playalso is filled with "a ton of humor,'according to Shohton, humor thathelped the Holocaust survivor survive"There's a wisdom and irony in herthat's very inspiring "

The Interview evolved fromSholiton's work with Holocaust sur-vivors, both as a journalist for theCleveland Jewish News and as aninterviewer for a worldwide videotapingproject "Faye is a fervent believer inthe redemptive possibilities of humanrelationships," and her play "is drivenby her deep compassion and ethicalrigor,' according to Scott Kanoff, resi-dent director and literary manager ofThe Cleveland Play House

Sunday's reading, presented withminimal staging and rehearsal, allowsan audience to ' hear" the play Theaudience, not quite the casual theateraudience, generally is more interestedin the ' nuts and bolts' of theater Andas actors and audience enjoy a discus-sion of the play following the reading,they will explore the mechanisms ofhow the story is told and how it createsaudience reaction People in the audi-ence like to use their imaginationShohton says 'so we let them fill inthe details Ingeboi g Mauksch piesi-

dent of Temple Beth-EI in Fort Myers,has been invited to participate in thediscussion following the playreading

The Interview is being presented intwo acts beginning at 7 p m , with abrief intermission and a one-half hourto 45-minute discussion Tickets are$15 and may be reserved by calling thebox office at 472-0006 or purchasedthe evening of the show =$

Library BoardBudgets $40,000For OutdoorSculpture

Sanibel Public Library has set abudget of up to $40,000 fromprivate library funds to commis-

sion or purchase a work of site-specificpublic art, library board Director JackPerlowski told the Public Art SelectionCommittee at an April 7 meeting.

"This piece of art is a gift to theSanibel community from the librarycorporation," said Perlowski. "Thefunding will come from our gift andendowment fund, not from public taxdollars."

The Selection Committee voted thatthe art shall be placed outside in frontof the library, rather than inside thelobby. "If this is truly a gift from thelibrary corporation to the people, out-side makes it more publicly accessible,"said Selection Committee memberKristie Anders.

Visiting advisor Lee Modica, ArtsAdministrator for Florida's Departmentof Cultural Affairs, advised outdoorplacement as well, Modica, who over-sees the Art in State Buildings pro-gram, spoke to the committee aboutthe process of selecting an artist for theproject.

The Selection Committee will adver-tise for artist submissions through thestate's "Call To Artists" newsletter,

Page 29

which will be published in May. Thenewsletter, which is sent to more than3,000 artists nationwide, lists state pro-jects. Modica offered the library inclu-sion in the newsletter as a courtesy.The call will then appear in variousartist trade journals throughout theU.S.

"Public art is our gift to a communitythat generously volunteers at, donatesto, and otherwise supports the library,"the project description reads. "ThePublic Art Selection Committee is seek-ing a work of outdoor art that willgrace the front of the building, at ornear the main entrance. It will considersite-specific commissioned and existingart."

Members of the Public Art SelectionCommittee include Chairman SteveMullins, Ikki Matsumoto, Jane Hudson,Liz White, Kristie Anders, Duey Liber,Patricia Allen, Bill Craig, DorothySprouse, and Chelle Walton.

"You have my respect for undertak-ing this project and for the way you'regoing at it," Modica told the SelectionCommittee. "You are taking the timeto educate yourselves and that way youwill be able to find the very best artistfor your purposes."

Nancy YoungMosny: Piecesof GoldBy Pamela Gilbert Wortze I

Nancy Young Mosny is a personof many talents. But with thepublication of her beautifully

structured first novel, Pieces of Gold,it's clear that she is destined to makeher rriark as a writer of great honestyand sensitivity. Inspired by a crisis thatchallenged her ability to cope with anailing parent while caring for her ownfamily, Pieces of Gold draws upon theauthors own background as a child ofimmigrant parents growing up in NewYork's Chinatown.

Mosny, a slender, stylish womanwith dark, closely cropped hair and aradiant smile, has achieved success inmany fields; as an editor for Glamourmagazine, as a New York restaurateurand currently as the owner of NancyYoung Inc., a trendy housewares andgift store located in the Bell TowerShopping Center in Fort Myers. Butshe has always thought of herself firstand foremost as a writer, •-;. ....... .

"Writing to me is very essential,"said Mosny during a recent interview atthe Sanibel Public Library, "The book-started as a tribute to mymdther/.vvhervshe had a stroke. I had a little baby andfound myself in the middle caring forboth." She found that her experiencewas not uncommon; many baby

Island Sun -

boomers are becoming a part of the"sandwich generation," caring foraging parents and growing children atthe same time.

Mosny, who now lives on Sanibelwith her husband, Rudy, and theirthree children, began working onPieces of Gold about six years agowhen she was living in Vienna. Thetitle refers to a Chinese saying, "a sonis worth ten thousand pieces of gold, adaughter only a thousand." But it wasMosny's intention to make herselfworth "a million pieces of gold" to herfamily, a challenging task which testedher own limitations.

She decided toturn events from herown life Into fiction inorder to give herselfmore creative latitude

She decided to turn events from herown life into fiction in order to giveherself more creative latitude and alsobecause of the realities of marketingbooks; fiction receives much greaterexposure in bookstores than personalmemoirs which are often relegated toback shelves.

Interspersed withthe conflicts that arisefrom Jenny's overwhelm-ing responsibilities aredelicately structuredvignettes about her par-ents' backgrounds andglimpses into what lifewas like for Jenny andher brother Kent, grow-ing up in the bustlingworld of Chinatown.Throughout Pieces ofGold, Mosny skillfullymaintain her graceful,poetic way with languagewhile not shrinking fromdepicting the indignitiesher character's mothersuffers as a stoke victim.

In her first book sign-ing at the Sanibel PublicLibrary last week, Mosnyread some moving pas-sages from her book. Shealso outlined her goals inwriting the book; shewanted it to be a tributeto a strong, but ailingmother, to reveal some-thing about Chinese cul-tural idiosyncrasies, andto promote stroke aware-ness.

Bantam, her publisher, is givingPieces of Gold a great deal of publici-ty, a sign that they expect it do well. Asfor Mosny, she is clearly thrilled at theresponse she has received since thebook was published on March 2. "I

Scary Monstersby Dylan Conway, 4th grade

Monsters are super scary,Others are big and hairy.Some .use the toilet to get in,They also use the laundry bin.Some really freak me out,But I blow them up with a waterspout. =&

San Franciscoby Logan Sobczak, 4th grade

I love to hear the people talking onthe busy sidewalks,The cars and trucks making honksand squealing down the streets,The bells on the doors of coffee shopschiming, occasionally beeping.The smells are also captivating,Like the aromas of restaurants andperfume shops.There are also bad smells though,Like exhaust from cars and factories.I hate those awful flaws of the city.

Everyone thinks San Franciscois a place where you have a nicevacationThey're wrong, it's the busiest cityI've been to.Although there are ups and downs, Ithink it's just fine,And I'd sure like to visit again.3^

Food ForThoughtby Paul Gaeta

Reynolds PickedFor Games

Simple - andsimply terrific- roast chick-

en. Sprinkle wholechicken with saltand pepper insideand out. Put ahandful of thymesprigs and strips oflemon peel in the

cavity. Rub outside with oil, gratedlemon peel, and chopped thyme. Roastat 375°F.

We always thought spices just tastedgood. Now it turns out they can kill offthe bacteria that cause food poisoning.Researchers gave high marks to garlic,clove, cinnamon, oregano, and sage.

New twist for quiche is lower in fat,too: the crust is made of potatoes.Spray non-stick oil product on a bigplate, then line it with 1/4-inchsteamed rounds of russet potatoes.Spoon filling over potatoes, then theegg-cheese mixture. Bake at 350cF.

Nothing ordinary about pear sorbetmade from canned pears. Boil syrupwith sugar and chopped crystallizedginger. Freeze with the pears in a plas-tic-lined dish until solid. Turn out, cutinto pieces, and process until smooth.Freeze again; scoop to served

Golf

The SwingSceneby Catherine Ransavage,P.G.A. Teaching Professional

Have you ever noticed that fear ofa particular shot seems toalways produce a negative

result? For example, let's use thedreaded greenside bunker shot. Mostgolfers I see are scared of it. Actually,it's the only shot in golf where you donot hit the ball. So, play the ball centeror left of center in an open stance!Cock the wrists and turn the shoulderssimultaneously. This takes the clubstraight back and up at the same time,while keeping most of the weight on

the left foot. Be sure to pull the handsdown and try to splash the sand underthe ball. The sand will give you someresistance. Keep the wrists firm atimpact and follow through with thearms extended toward the target. Thistakes a bit of practice, but stay with itand your confidence and shot-makingwill improve.

Till next week...$

Crew Of SeniorsBuild HabitatHome

For the third consecutive year, agroup of dedicated seniors willcome to Lee county as part of an

Elderhostel service program to build aHabitat for Humanity home.

Several of the volunteers ranging inage from 56 to 86, are coming backfor their third time.- they includeSandra McKinnon from Marysville,Washington; Ruth Reckman fromDuxbury, Massachusetts, Gordon andPhyllis VanderMolen from Wheaton,Illinois, Jim and Mary Hammel fromFairfield, Ohio; Cecily Jones fromWashington, Missouri; RobertGronendyke of Rohnert Park,California; David Forrest of Tyler,Texas; and Jeanne Fernald of MountDesert, Maine. A total of 37 personsfrom around the country, some recruit-ed by the ones returning from prioryears, will participate.

Elderhostel is a non-profit education-al and service organization that offersinexpensive, short-term academic pro-grams for older adults (55 and up).These programs are hosted by institu-tions offering learning opportunities(like Habitat for Humanity) around theworld. Currently, over 1,800 institu-tions in over 45 countries participate inthe Elderhostel program. Individuals ofany race, color and religion who areage 55 and older are eligible to partici-


pate."Elderhostels" will not only be giving

of their time and their energy, they paytheir own travel expenses as well astheir ropm and board at Shell PointVillage. After six, six-hour days on thejob, the first week's crew of 23 will bereplaced by a crew of 14. Whateverconstruction remains to be done on thehome at the end of the two-week pro-gram will be completed by local Habitatfor Humanity volunteers.

Many of the volunteers are active inthe local Habitat for Humanity affiliatesin their hometown. Some are veryactive in supporting humanitarianefforts around the world. For example,Dr Edward Berg from St. Louis,Missouri has participated in medicalmission trips to Africa and Mexico.Eugene Dailey from Tarpon Springsbuilt his own house and wants to con-tribute to building someoneelses...someone who might not everown a house without Habitat forHumanity's help.

Habitat for Humanity relies heavilyon volunteers to assist in its buildingprograms. Volunteer leadership for theElderhostel program this year is beingprovided by Barry and Jay Solomon, ahusband-and-wife team who participat-ed in last year's program and fell inlove with the Habitat for Humanityprogram here in Lee County, especiallyworking alongside the families who willeventually become the homeowners.Jay was also very involved in the firstail-women's built home here in LeeCounty, which was completed inMarch.

Dodgers Post 2-2 Recordn Softball League

>y Vincent Wolanln

The 1999 Sanibel Dodgers are avastly improved team. So far thisseason the team is 2-2 and could

>cry easily have been 4-0 except forome defensive hiccups at the end ofhe two losses. Coach Vincent Wolaninlommented, "The 1999 Sanibel Islanddodgers are an offensive machinev/hen it comes to producing hits andhe area of improvements we are nowvorking on is in shoring up ourlefense which has let us down at a:oupie of critical junctures. The girlslave all been working hard at practiceind some of them have put in extrajractice with their parents, brothersind sisters which is how they make the>iggest progress as it is important forhe girls to have that family morale sup-jort when they are learning to play aport."

The 1999 Dodgers roster is:#3 Skyler Bauer - Skyler is a very

letermined first year player who*hibits a lot of grit in playing defensetnd running the bases. As Skyler gets atit older and stronger she will be a trulyiright spot in future Dodgers teams.

#6 Whitney Wolanin - Whitney isilso a first year player and has beenworking hard at her batting speed,hrowing and fielding to improve in allhese areas by spending extra time>racticing. Whitney is very active in

music playing the piano, singing, danc-ing, and acting as well in betweengames and practices and school.

#12 Victoria Wolanin- Victoria inher third season as a Dodger has devel-oped into a major power hitter and sofar this season Victoria has hit 4 homeruns. Victoria also has been doing extrahitting, throwing and fielding practicein between piano, singing in theCanterbury play, and school. Victoria isa big offensive asset to the Dodgerteam.

#13 Amanda Walters - Amanda inher third season has also become apower hitter and so far this seasonAmanda has 3 home runs Amandaalso practices hard in her street nearher home working on improving herskills and Amanda will continue provid-ing her big offense to the Dodger teamhopefully for another season

#7 Megan Scurry - Megan is thefastest Dodger running the bases, how-ever Megan has been hampered by abad foot this season which is gettingbetter rapidly. We expect Megan willbe contributing a lot to the Dodgersnow that she is near full strengthagain.

#2 Shelby Peters- Shelby plays thepitchers position on defense which isthe heart and soul of the defense andShelby continues to improve at thisspot. Shelby will play a key role ondefense as the season comes to the

Back row: Coach Vincent Wolanin, Ryan Baver, Meghan Scurry, Victoria Wolanin,Danielle Owens, Piper Horn and Tracy Walters; Middle row: Amanda Walters,Whitney Wolanin, Jennifer Folks, Lauren Jeandron and Lexie Cook; Front row:Skyler Bauer and Shelby Peters

windup as a good defense will meanmore Dodger victories.

#11 Danielle Owens - Danielle is agood defensive player and has a goodthrowing arm which is why she playsthe hot corner third base. Danielle willplay a key role down the stretch in theDodgers bid to make it past the .500winning percentage.

#14 Piper Home - Piper has exhibit-ed sporadic power on offense and allthe Dodgers are hoping Piper will showmore of that power from now till the

end of the season which will bolster theoffense even further with Piper's help

#9 Jennifer Foulks - Jennifer is akey part of Dodger defense playing thecatcher's position which with girls onbase becomes critical to put outs athome plate. Jennifer suffers the bruisesof playing one of the toughest positionson the team and has been improvingthrough the year.

#8 Lauren Jeandron - Lauren is afirst year player who has improved

Island BuilderRetires

Gail Reynolds, for over 18 yearsthe only woman building con-tractor on the islands, hosted a

gala farewell for friends and customersThursday evening, April 15, at herhome in Sanibel Bayous. It was obvi-ous that Gail's clients had become herfriends as they met each other andshared experiences of having Gail buildtheir homes in various locations onSanibel and Captiva.

"As a woman in a man's field, Gailperformed at 150 percent," said JeanWood, an early customer. "Heremployees and her sub-contractorsknew very well that Gail would simplynot accept anything less than perfec-tion. Sanibel is sad to lose a uniquepersonality that served the island andits ideals well," Wood said. Reynoldsbuilt Wood's home on Wild Lime Driveand also her duplex on Rabbit Road forthe Below Market Rate Housing pro-gram. Gail served Community HousingResources Inc. as Project Manger on itsButtonwood Project.

Reynold's success was due in nosmall part to the strong support of herlife companion, Lou Wolfe, who wasoften amused by the problem manyworkmen experienced in taking ordersfrom a tall, imposing, "take charge"female

They have sold theii Sanibel homeand wili be relocating in South Carolinaat the end of June Reynolds looks for-ward to retirement and is happy thather clients have found her work "overand above" requirements. Reynold'scompany specialized in "NaturalDesigns for Tropical Living."

With the recent success of the first"Women's Build" by Habitat forHumanity in Fort Myers, perhaps morewomen will get the building bug. ButGail warns them, "It's a stressful busi-ness, but good fodder for a book "&

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Held

Lyman Frank, Craig Albert, Ray Judah, Robbie and Geoff Roepstorff

by Brian Johnson

Bank of the Islands, the first bankon Sanibel, is back. Glitteringwith new tile and fresh paint, the

bank opened for business on Thursday,April 15.

A ribbon cutting ceremony, held justoutside the front doors, kicked off thefirst day of business. The ceremonydrew a large crowd, and the local andstate dignitaries included Ray Judah,Chairman of Lee CountyCommissioners.

"I thought it was great," said Craig

Albert, President of the Bank of theIslands. "It was an excellent turnout. Alot of local dignitaries showed up -1thought it went perfect."

At 8:45 a.m. President of EdisonNational Bank, Robbie Roepstorff,started the ceremony by making intro-ductory remarks to the crowd gatheredoutside the bank, located at 1699Periwinkle.

At 9 a.m. Robbie Roepstorff, GeoffRoepstorff, Craig Albert, Ray Judahand Lyman Frank cut a large red rib-bon.

People then filed in through the

doors as business operations beganimmediately. Customers were serveddonuts, pastries and fresh juices.

"We were very pleased with it," saidRobbie Roepstorff. "When you send anopen invitation you never know whattype of reception you will get. Thereception was, 'We're glad you'reback.' Chairman Judah said it bestwhen he spoke of the balance betweenthe business side and conservation.You can't do it any better (than hereon Sanibel)."

In October of 1998 a smaller officewas opened at 2407 Periwinkle Waywhile renovations on the old buildingtook place.

"The temporary facility opened theirdoors in October and we were fortu-nate to have grown to 26 million indeposits in seven months," said Albert.

The renovated building, with12,000 square feet, is more than tentimes larger than the temporary facility.

The new offices feature a DriveThru, an ATM machine, more cus-tomer service representatives and safe-ty deposit boxes, an aquarium in thelobby, new landscaping, a resurfacedparking lot - the list goes on.

"It looks good," said Albert. "Weplan on being here for a long time."^

Tigers Having ABlast In GrapefruitLeagueby Brian Johnson

If the Tigers look like they attack eachcontest like the seventh game of theWorldf Series, that's because their

coach is Marty Harrity.Harrity has his ballpayers in the

Grapefruit League going all out. Hetalks about "Tiger Pride" and keepstheir minds on the game and their eyeson the ball.

''We instill basic skills," said Harrity,who also coaches the Giants in theMajor League They learn to makeplays. Even if they don't succeed, theyknow what they should be domg-that'sthe key."

Unfortunately the Tigers temporarilylost assistant coach Kirsty Moen, whoinjured the anterior cruciate ligament inher knee. So at Thursday's practiceHarrity pepped the players up bytelling them the story of Knute Rockneand getting them to "win one for theKirster."

The Tigers listened and came outand played a great game against thePirates for the coach they missed.

The Tigers have two of the most tal-ented players in the league in pitcherJimmy Shannon and first basemanChris Moen, Kirsty Moen's son.Shannon and Moen are outstandingfielders as well as hitters.

Chris "Waffles" DiBiase, who has areal passion for the sport. "He hasmore desire than anybody," saidHarrity.

At shortstop is the "dependable"Chris Ligon who handles the ball withsure hands.

Rounding out the infield is SamMcDowell, who Harrity calls "Charliehustle."

Book Review

Sanibel's Story. By Betty AnholtBy Priscilla Friedersdorf

Betty Anholt has written and com-piled a history of Sanibel entitled"Sanibel's Story, Voices and

Images from Calusa to Incorporation."The publication of the book is spon-sored by the City of Sanibel and theHistorical Preservation Committee onbehalf of the Historical Village andMuseum to honor the City's 25thAnniversary in November of this year.

Anholt, in her preface to the book,writes, "Generations of islanders haveseen themselves as an extended fami-ly, related by our reliance on eachother and our isolation from the rest ofthe world. This collective family albumgives a glimpse of the people and timesthat have evolved into today's Sanibel.'

The history of the settlement ofSanibel and the unusual geology of theisland are examined in the first chapter,"Before the Lighthouse (pre-1884)."Ponce de Leon landed in the vicinity ofthe island in 1513 and returned in1521 to found a settlement. He died inHavana after fleeing from SouthwestFlorida and a battle with the CalusaIndians in which he was wounded byan arrow. Anholt's text throughout thebook is lively and informative, She pre-sents the history of these early years inan overview which condenses the factsinto a fascinating account. A map of'Sanybel Island' from 1833 is shown ina double page illustration.

An old photo shows the island'sfirst-born non-Indian child, FloraSanibel Woodring Morris. Anholt hasaccompanied many of the splendid oldphotographs with quotes from the per-son shown in the photo. You will mar-vel at the elaborate dresses andproper attire wornby those earlyresidents; longskirts and leg ofmutton sleevesfor the womenand suits, ties andhigh-collared shirtsfor the men. Thecharming full pagephoto of of MarieBarnes looks asthough it was takenin the kitchen of theClarence Rutlandhouse in the HistoricalVillage.

One of the earliestsettlers, Oliver Bowen,is quoted as saying,"...the only timehe made money onSanibel was when hekilled a rattlesnake and sold the skin."When he died he asked to be buried inhis well. No mention of what theremaining family did for their watersupply.

Frank Bailey, the father of Francis,Jr, John and Sam, "...wanted his tomb-stone epitaph to read, 'He was fair,"

and it was a judgment islandersbelieved he had earned in full mea-sure " The interior of the store isshown in a double page picture takenin 1951 with Francis Bailey at the cashregister. The Bailey General Store cele-brated its 100th anniversary this year.

Anholt writes that during the secondWorld War island residents, numberingless than one hundred, were issuedidentification cards because of theCoast Guard's fear of enemy infiltra-tion. A full page photograph showsRuth Rutland cutting her husbandClarence's hair. Anholt observes,"Islanders relied on each other in child-birth and for everything from tooth-pulling to fire-fighting to child-raising."The school bus driver would stop thebus and pick up gopher tortoises totake home to place in a pot for dinner.

The first color photo in the bookwas taken in the 1940s, a picture ofthe sandy white shell road leading toCasa Ybel and Captiva from the ferry.There is an aerial photo of the mysteri-ous Algiers boat which was hauledashore, made into a paddleboat, andturned into a luxury home but wasnever lived in by the woman for whomit was designed. The land is nowGulfside Park.

The aerial photo, taken in 1970looking down Periwinkle Way only afew years before the island's incorpora-tion into a city, is especially fascinating.Only twenty-five years have passed andwe have changed so much and pro-gressed so far.

"It's a great way for me to be able toreach a lot of business people and letthem know about the opportunity toprovide affordable housing news totheir employees," said Hyatt, who hasbeen with CHR for 12 years. "It addsstability to the work force whenemployees live here as opposed to longcommutes in traffic."

CHR provides housing at nine loca-tions on Sanibel that is approximately50 percent less costly then the marketrate. For instance, a 2 bedroom apart-ment rents for $550, which is roughlyhalf of the going rate Hyatt, who has amasters in education from theUniversity of Pittsburgh, first came toSanibel in 1963 and then relocatedhere in 1987 after working as programsupervisor of housing for the develop-mentally disabled in Columbus, Ohio.

Home OfficeOptionsby Cindy Malszycki

Gone are thedays when youonly had the

choice of a desk andchair for your homeoffice. Today's homeoffice furnishingsoptions are all butendless. Just decidewhat you need to

accomplish, then purchase the piecesthat will help you get the job done.

Do you remember your first officefurniture? Was your desk a gray metalcast-off? Or even an orange crate-and-door combination? No doubt you'vecome a long way since then. And sohas home office furniture. No matterwhat your needs might be - a part-timeplace to pay bills or a full-time, entirelydedicated space there's a virtual pletho-ra of possibilities.

Desks and work surfaces are avail-able in every style and size you canimagine. Bur before you set out shop-ping for yours, be sure to take stock ofhow much surface and storage spaceyou'll need. Not surprisingly, someoneworking on a computer will have far dif-ferent needs than a peer working withpencil and paper. Beyond the requiredmonitor, hard drive, keyboard, andprinter, you may want a CD-ROM play-er, speakers, and scanner. And whetheror not you have a computer, you may

want to make room for a fax machine,answering machine, telephone, copier,and an assortment of desktop acces-sories.

While many people purchase con-ventional desks, more and more arerequiring extra space. If you fall into thiscategory, you might consider a worksta-tion. With an L-shaped configuration, itprovides approximately twice the workspace of a traditional desk, plus it offersall kinds of storage - in cubbyholes,drawers, and cabinets - specificallydesigned to store office essentials.Another popular workstation option isthe office armoire, two tall doors opento reveal a drop-down work surface andplenty of storage space. Finally, don'tforget the multiple options that modularfurnishings offer.

Chairs, too, have vastly improved interms of aesthetics as well as comfort.This is one place you can really put apersonal stamp on your home office.Who says, for instance, you can't workfrom a traditional wing chair, or even acountry-style Adirondack chair. Onceyou've determined your styie prefer-ence, however, give careful considera-tion to the ergonomics. If, for instance,you spend the majority of your timeworking at a computer, you may wantto opt for a chair with separate adjust-ments for lumbar and lower back sup-port, arm width and height, seat backangle, and seat height.

Storage is something you can't havetoo much of, so give it careful thoughtwhen plotting your office. Books, files,mail, magazines, faxes, and a plethoraof other paperwork are essential to any

Take stock ofhow many linear feet of open andclosed storage you need right now, thenmultiply that figure by 25 percent to 50percent to allow for future growth.Once you've come to a comfortableconclusion, consider the various storageoptions - everything from conventionalsteel files to traditional wood cabinetry.

Finally, don't forget those furnishingsthat will put the "home" in "homeoffice." A comfortable chair for reading,an ottoman for put-your-feet-up com-fort, even a home entertainment unitcan add up to an office ready for anyjob. And, of course, there are the finish-ing touches, custom window treat-ments, area rugs, artwork and col-lectibles. Given the right decorativeapproach, you'll find it hard to leavework when 5 o'clock rolls around!

Home Office Basics:Work surfaces should be between 28

and 29 inches high.Keyboard surfaces should be

between 24 1/2 and 28 inches fromthe floor.

An adjustable chair can compensatefor the difference in an ideal deskheight.

A good office chair should have aseat height adjustment from 17 to 22inches.

A;long with"Putting the17th Green"

my most successfulmedical school classwas "ScribblingBeyond AllComprehension."Despite having grad-uated summa cum

lousy in this course, there is many apatient who attempts to decipher theprescription 1 hand them. Most, afterviewing the paper from assortedangles, just shrug. On occasion, howev-er, an adventurous soul with a back-ground in Ancient Swahili Cyrillichieroglyphics will actually try to inter-pret it. "So, you're recommending Itake sugar pills at a cost of $467 perpill? Kinda pricey doc." Yes meds canbe kinda pricey so in today's column Isuggest a few tricks to reduce your costof medications.

1. Let's suppose you get a prescrip-tion for Cyanide 250 mg. Ask yourdoctor for the 500mg tablet insteadwhich, believe it or not, costs exactlythe same as the 250mg. For $7 youcan purchase a pill cutter from yourpharmacy (which also doubles nicely asa quaint wee guillotine for aristocraticsilverfish.) Simply cut the pill in halfand your money goes twice as far!!! Nobig deal if you're out a few moleculeseither side. A note of caution here. If

your pill is a capsule this trick doesn'twork very well as the little multi-coloured beads roll all over the counterand into the cats milk.

The cat promptly drinks it andpromptlier clutches his little pussy heartand keels over... and I get sued.

2. When you first begin a new med-ication, do not get a three year supply.You may have an allergy or you maynot enjoy the side effects of your leftear falling off or the excessive growthof naval lint, and you're now stuck with6 million evil pills. For some medica-tions the pharmacist can actually giveyou seven days worth for free and ifyou like it and it does the job then youcan get the rest of the prescriptionfilled at the usual exorbitant fee. Whenfirst beginning a medication you maywant to ask the doctor for samples.Only too eager to please, the doctorwill dash back and rummage throughhis sample cupboard. This is one of thescariest places on earth. I have reachedinto a cupboard and come out withpieces of skeleton, new office maga-zines (1968), and old biopsy specimenof Frank Bloggins' uvula.

3. Once the medication has provenworthy and that nagging problem ofwetting yourself while yawning is nowcorrected by this medication, ask for aiot of pills at one time. This allows youto avoid the prescription filling fee.

4. Shop around or ask the doctorwho usually knows the least expensiveplace to get your medication. There isa surprising range from pharmacy topharmacy.

5. Ask if there is a less expensive

alternative of the drug. Doctors areonly too well aware now of the leastexpensive drug that does virtually thesame job. You may however have beeninadvertently started on a more expen-sive option initially and have yet to beswitched over to the lesser expensivechoice. No need to be on gold injec-tions for arthritis if an Advil will do. Ifthe doctor doesn't know, your pharma-cist will. They know everything. RossPaterson of Paterson's Pharmacy is soreliable my patients call him DoctorPaterson while referring to me as thebuffoon next door. "OK, Dr. Dave,thanks for the scrip" they patronize"but I'll just check with Dr. Paterson tomake sure it is the right stuff." Sureenough a few minutes later I'll get atactful call from the Ross with com-ments such as:

"Mr. Johnson isn't real crazy abouttaking this birth control pill" or"Doctor, your patient is on salt peterand combined with the Nitroglycerinyou ordered there is a good chancethat the patient will actually explode."or "Doctor, this medication hasn't beenused since Moby Dick was a guppy". (Iknow what he really means is "wheredid this schmuck go to school?")

"Dr Dave are you certain you meantto prescribe seven gallons of Prozaccream for this patient's hemmorhoid."In a feeble attempt to preserve a mod-icum of professional dignity I respondthat I believe the patients hemmorhoidmay be deeply depressed. Ross canusually see right through this ploy andpolitely suggests I simply sufferedanother brain spasm.

ersonal Development Self-steem, Confidence, Motivation| Constance S. Clancy, Ed.D.

Every humanbeing, psychol-ogists claim,

has an ultimate goal.The goal may bemaintained in thesubconscious mind,but is is none the lessa final objective. Andit is the same for all

£ p , regardless of race, creed,tionality or even physical condition.The ultimate goal for each individual^elf-Actualization: achieving whatprts people call a "personal best."gardless of background, education,&ncial standing or other factors,gry individual is subconsciouslyhiced to move onward and upward,(be the best possible in relation to[iefs and values.Progress toward the ultimate goal,d necessary intermediate objectives,Effected by experiential factors-thehd of cards dealt out by heredity,jportunity and life in general. Therejsjhree factors essential to positiveogress: self-esteem, confidence andptivation. During the course of a life-ne, virtually everyone experiencespblems involving one or more of£se elements.Resolving such problems is one of

the most important and valuable capa-bilities of hypnotherapy.

Self-EsteemHigh self-esteem is a basic essential

of success. Low self-esteem, however,does not suddenly appear, like thesymptom of an illness. It develops, likea cancer, usually unnoticed in earlystages, but spreading slowly throughoutthe mind until, when recognized, it maybe full-blown, demoralizing, destructiveand possibly even terminal.

Low self-esteem actually must bedealt with before progress can beachieved in building self-confidence andcreating motivation. It is difficult for aperson to show confidence when heviews himself as low man on his owntotem pole.

While poor self-esteem can emanatefrom events which might be consideredpersonal setbacks (in business, relation-ships, health/etc), the primary cause isnegative programming from the past. Itmight be a product of judgmental par-ents, teachers, authority figures, rela-tives, friends. Many times derogatorycomments, ridicule, relentless criticismand similar factors ignore commend-able achievement and simply focus onand accentuate the negative.

Frequently these events, hurts, ornegative valuations are absorbed byand buried in subconscious memory,with the victim totally unaware of the

sources of troubled feelings, fears, self-doubt and damaging attitudes.

But we know that the subconsciousmind is the storage house of memory.Through hypnotherapy it is possible toset aside the conscious mind, seek,locate and uncover the detrimentalmemories which are adversely affectingthe personality, and in bringing theproblems to light and understandingaccomplish a resolution which can freethe client from the past and open thedoors to future progress and achieve-ments.

ConfidenceThe establishment of self-confidence

must follow the disposition of past neg-ative programming - eliminating fromself-perception any labels such as bad,wrong, stupid, clumsy, dumb, inept,untalented, ignorant, etc. Hypnosis canbecome the source of self-discovery -revealing unrecognized capabilities thatlead to an acceptance of valid self-worth.

The procedures for developing self-confidence may vary considerablydepending on the depth and origins ofthe problem. In milder cases, workingout problems of self-esteem may be fol-lowed by programming which utilizesvisualization, creating in the mind pic-tures of success, confidence and appro-priate abilities. Enhancing suggestionsgiven in hypnotherapy can be absorbedand accepted, leading to attitude modi-fication and positive demonstrations ofnewly acquired self-assurance.

In more complex cases wheredepression is a factor, the hypnothera-pist may elect to use the techniques of

Free VisionScreening

In a continuing effort to protect peo-ple from sight-robbing eye disease,Eye Centers of Florida has scheduled

its mobile screening bus to visit the fol-lowing location-

Sanibel Island Bailey's General Store2477 Periwinkle Way 9 a.m. to2:45 p.m. April 28.

Research found that while 87 per-cent of people surveyed will have their,car serviced yearly, only 54 percent willhave an annual vision exam. Mostvision threatening diseases have nosymptoms until it is too late. Tragically,most of these diseases can be treatedeffectively if detected early enough.Although screenings should not takethe place of a full exam, a screeningcan identify if a potential problemexists.

Visual acuity screenings are per-formed to determine if patients are see-ing at maximum ability. If patients weareyeglasses, they should bring them forthe screening.

part therapy or the removal of fears tofree up behavior and reduce negativeinternal judgments so that positive self-feelings and confidence can develop ina natural way.

Longer term results can be signifi-cant. Mood and energy levels increase,compulsive and psychosomatic symp-toms fade, emotions become under-stood, clients move toward self-direc-tion and greater interpersonal involve-ment. Self-derogation is reduced andpositive feelings about life's possibilitiesdevelop.

MotivationWith self esteem and confidence

enhanced, improved motivation comesinto the spotlight. Psychologist Maslowdefines five levels at which people aremotivated' Psychological - food, drink,sleep, sex; Safety - protection, freedomfrom fear, order; Belongingness - love,social contact, family, friends; Esteem -self-respect, need to be valued; Self-actualization - the need to grow, toachieve one's potential.

Essential to generating positive moti-vation is elimination of any fear of fail-ure (or its often hidden counterpart,fear of success). First, it is important torecognize motivations and subsequentsuccesses of the past. Second, a senseof direction is needed (Where am Igoing?). Not the ultimate goal, but ashort term, quickly achievable goal, -first step to provide convincing proofthat forward movement is established.Finally, on achievement of this goal,self-reward. This constitutes self-recog-nition, a powerful motivating factor.This reward may be a self-treat, or the

pride of achievement and self-satisfac-tion. The lesson learned will be lasting:Success Breeds Success!

The purpose of establishing short-term successive goals is important tounderstand. A small success generatesadditional confidence. It creates a senseof completion, readiness and eagernessfor the next step. The end result:Motivation !$

ChiropracticHealth Newsby Dr. Michael Tolisano, B.A., M.A.,D.C., Chiropractor

Q . As peoplegrow older theyseem to get shorter.Is this an illusion ordoes it actually hap-pen?

A- Due to spinaldisc degenerationas we age, most ofus eventually lose

anywhere from one half inch to twoinches from our full height.

It's the discs that cushion adjacentvertebrae from one another. Theyaverage about one half inch in thick-ness and make up about 25 percent ofthe spine's height.

Made of highly-specialized tissue,discs are about 90 percent water inbabies. They begin to degenerate veryslowly about age 20. By age 70, adisc's water content is down to about70 percent and, as a result, the discshave flattened considerably. As thediscs flatten, the spine becomes shorterand so does its owner.

Discs generally retain their fluidslonger when the spine gets sufficientexercise. Spinal movements - bending,swaying, twisting - squeeze spinal fluidsin and out of the discs like a squeezedsponge. This helps discs retain theirflexibility even into old age. That's one

reason regular exercise contributes t ospinal health. Regular chiropractic carealso helps the spine and its discs retain,flexibility and vigor.=&

Toronto's FourSeasonsHotel always

sends out excellenttime-saving tips forthe annual cleaningchore. Imagine vac-uuming 53 squaremiles of carpet, pol-ishing 75,000

square feet of marble floors, and clean-ing 380 guest rooms twice daily. It's allin a day's work for Patricia Mew,Executive Housekeeper at the FourSeasons Hotel Toronto, and her staffof 110 housekeepers. With the arrivalof spring, these cleaning experts sharesome of their trade secrets to help withyour annual spring-cleaning routine.

Whether cleaning your island homeor condominium, or even your islandhotel or inn, these tips are worth post-ing in your utility room - and a coupleof them.are downright amazing. Evenmy newly-planted Key Lime tree will beput to good use when it comes to wip-ing out drawers!

1. When cleaning out kitchen draw-ers, wipe cutlery and utensils with acloth dampened with concentrated limejuice. The concentrate acts as a repel-lent to bugs.

2. To wash mildew from fabric, addone cup of white vinegar to regularwash.

3. To help kill dust mites and aller-

gens on children's stuffed animals, vac-uum the toy's plush or fabric shell, thenput the toy in a plastic bag and freezefor approximately 24 hours.

4. Remember to frequently cleantelephones with alcohol or a germicide.A great idea for home and office.

5. Cleaning with baking soda is aninexpensive and environmentallyfriendly way to clean and freshen sur-faces. Sprinkle baking soda on sinks,counters, cutting boards, toilets, show-er stalls, bathtubs and tiles, then scourclean with a damp sponge. Rememberto rinse well. (I save my oldest box ofbaking soda for this cleaning duty.)

6. Don't forget the often overlookeditems when vacuuming and dusting:door and picture frames, light bulbs,and lamp shades.

7. Drapes and blinds hold lots ofhousehold dust. Be sure to vacuum reg-ularly.

8. To remove stubborn hard-waterand rust stains from toilet bowls, porce-lain bathtubs and sinks, simply use a

. pumice stone. Rub the stain with thepumice, then wipe the surface clean. Itwill not scratch the porcelain. (It will,however, scratch other plastic or lami-nate surfaces found in some islandhomes and condominiums.)

9. I'll again add my tip for cleaningtile floors - just water and vinegar willdo the job. 1 use about 1 part vinegarto four parts water. This also works forwood floors, but some wood floorsneed to have the water wiped up

immediately after washing. Check withmanufacturer.

10. When removing old wallpaper,be sure to have your painter wash offall paste residue remaining on thewalls. Paint applied over unwashedwalls will peel within two years. I know,because my painter didn't wash offresidue and now the paint has to bescraped off and the walls in both bath-rooms need to be repainted. I knewthis from past experience in our condo-minium kitchen, but forgot to makesure my painter knew this when paint-ing was done before we moved intoour present home. Live and learn - andthen learn again! Hope I save you fromthis needless frustration.

11. Remember to have your air con-ditioner checked yearly, and all ventscleaned thoroughly to prevent disease.It was bacteria-laden vents which firstintroduced us to the dreadedLegionnaire's disease.

I'm off to put some stuffed toys inthe freezer. Then to the grocery for afew limes while I wait for my own KeyLime to do its thing. Then I'll huntdown the putty knife and start scrapingbathroom walls - unless someone findsthe handyman's lost telephone num-ber! Maybe I'll even go through thepiles of papers in my office, which noone else would know what to do with!Sound familiar?

Hope your spring cleaning is easier.At least we don't have 380 guestrooms, 53 square miles of carpeting,or 75,000 square feet of marble floors.Happy Spring.^

Save MoneyWhile You Cook

Smart use of kitchen applianceslike your electric oven and rangecan add up to significant energy

and money savings. Here are a fewtips:

Cook several dishes at once insteadof re-heating the oven several timesduring the day. For example, if youhave three dishes that need to becooked at three different temperatures,pick the average temperature andadjust the cooking time of each dishslightly to make up for the difference.

Keep the inside of the oven and thereflectors under the surface units clean.

Consider that cooking in the ovencan be cheaper than cooking on top ofthe range since an electric oven is onfor only about one-third of each hour itis used. This is because the insulatedoven seals in heat; while surface unitsuse energy the whole time they are on.

Resist the temptation to peak in theoven while your dishes are cooking.This can cost you 20 percent heat lossand cause baking failure.

Use pans with flat bottoms and tightfitting covers so that heat goes directlyinto the pan and stays there.

Try turning your oven or stove offt just before your food is done. You can

continue cooking with stored heat forabout five minutes for no cost.

If you have an exhaust fan aboveyour range, check and clean the filteroccasionally.

If you would like more information,call LCEC energy experts at997-SAVE or l-800-201-SAVE.#

Summer ElectricBills Down

Lee County Electric Cooperative(LCEC) customers will notice arate reduction in their next elec-

tric bill. The regular summer residentialenergy charge began on April 1, andextends through October. The summerenergy charge is $79.60 per 1,000kilowatt-hours (kwh). This is $5 lessthan the winter energy charge, which is$84.60 per 1,000 kwh.

LCEC summer rates are lowerbecause the summer peak is lower thanthe winter peak. Since their power sup-plier assesses a ''demand charge" basedupon the peak used by all customers atany one time, they pay more for elec-tricity in the winter months than in thesummer. LCEC has not had anincrease in its base rates for residentialelectric service in 16 years.

LCEC serves 140,000 customers inparts of five counties and has over5,000 miles of transmission and distrib-ution lines.#

Beauty Tipsby Mary Anne Banta & Her Beauties

w e all wantwhat wedon't have,

right? This is nevermore true in theworld of hair than inthe straight curlydebate. There arepros and cons toboth types of hair,

but this week we'll talk about curly hair.People with curls do all kinds of varia-tions on two battle plans: they eitherhate their curls and fight them forever,or they eventually make peace withthem and learn to enjoy them. Curlscan be beautiful and versatile. Peoplewith natural curls never need perms.But...there's a down side too.

Curls can be hard to manage. Theygo their own way, which is rarely theway the hair owner wants them to go.You might say one day, "Gee, I thinkI'll wear my hair up today." your hairwill say "Gee, I think I'll snap everyponytail holder you own.and stick outlike shredded wheat." Suppose youwant to wear it down; Your hair willimmediately form itself into somethingthat looks like it was built out of mudand twigs by small woodland creatures.

So...is there any hope? Of course! Ifyou truly can't live with your curls,there are chemical and non-chemicalsolutions. There are processes that aresort of the reverse of a perm, whichcan be done in the salon These will

temporarily straighten hair. For thosewho just want to have one day or spe-cial night with smooth swingy hair,there are a multitude of new productsdesigned to make life easier. Back toBasics has a line called So Straight,with shampoo conditioner and straight-ening balm, all of which work togetherwonderfully.

What if you just want to make yourcurls prettier and easier to live with?Try Back to Basics Get Curly, withshampoo, conditioner and a curlenhancing gel. Another must have isGraham Webb's Making Waves, astyling product that defines, shines andenhances permed or naturally curlyhair. As a bonus, it can be used on wetor dry hair What else? That oldfavorite- get regular trims. This is anespecially traumatic thing for the curly-haired. Most of us have had someexperience, usually in our childhoods,where we said "Just take a little offand were ignored. Curly hair that is cutone inch springs back twice as much.The major trauma usually occurs in thebang area when we are left with eye-lash length, poodle like fringe clingingto our foreheads. Put your trust in agood hairdresser, be clear about whatyou want, and take the plunge.

Finally, coloring can also be a disap-pointment to those with curls. The defi-nition of color is the reflection of light,and the surface of curly hair is not asreflective as straight hair. There a fewthings you can do to make your colormore vibrant. Check with your favoritehair professional for your best bet. Oneoption is to find a color two shadesbrighter than your desired one. Formore tips, stories, humor and sympa-thy, try this great website:www .naturallycurly. com .^

Water SafetyPrograms

Executive Director Robin Wingate,in an interview Monday morningwith Sarah Sidener of WINK

News, discussed age-specific watersafety programs offered by the RedCross available for kids from 6 monthsof age to adults. In light of the recentdrownings of toddlers, the focus onwater safety education is accident pre-vention, swimming skills, and life-sav-ing skills The Lee County Parks andRecreation Department manages theaquatic program, using American RedCross water safety course materials andinstruction. The summer programbegins June 21. To obtain a summerprogram brochure, call the Lee CountyParks and Rec Department at338-3300.

The leading cause of death for tod-dlers in Florida is drowning. There isno substitution for adult supervision.Continuous supervision is the only sureway to prevent a drowning. Neverleave your child alone in the bathtub orpool. A child can become unconsciouswithin two minutes of submersion.Irreversible brain damage can occurwithin 4 to 6 minutes of submersion.Children can drown in as little as oneinch of water.

The American Red Cross of LeeCounty is dedicated to helping makefamilies and communities safer at homeand around the world. It provides train-

ing in life-saving skills, mobilizes reliefto victims of disasters and transmitsmessages to members of the U.S.Armed Forces and their families. AllAmerican Red Cross disaster assistanceis free, made possible by voluntarydonations of time and money. For fur-ther information call 278-3401.#
