Open electionpossible in 1990

By Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

Sanibel residents may be able to select theirfavorites from an open field of candidates when theyvote in the 1990 city elections if the proposal for openelections continues to be as well received as it was atthe April 18 City Council meeting.

Councilmen agreed to have the staff prepare an or-dinance proposing an open election referendum beplaced on the ballot this fall.

Will Flatow, president of Condominium Associa-tions of Sanibel, Inc., sent a letter to City ManagerGary Price requesting that the council once again con-sider the proposal, especially since another referen-dum proposal also is headed for the November ballot.The proposal has been considered seriously since 1986,and just last year the City Council declined to permit areferendum on the open elections plan.

In his opening statement at the meeting, Flatow em-phasized the merits of open elections, wherein all can-didates run againsdt one another, versus contests forspecific seats. He said dpe"n flections will provide alarger group of qualified candidates arfil will ensure apositive campaign rather than a negative one. He alsoreminded councilmen the referendum could be madewith no additional expense to the city, since anothercharter amendment was likely.

"Successful candidates will be elected by a fair andopen and democratic competition," Flatow said.

Mayor Lenn Lorenson said he was prepared to sup-port it, adding it "can be onerous to run against so-meone because, in the heat of political passion,sometimes even acquaintances and friendships can besubject to a rift."

Councilman Mike Miracle said since Sanibel doesn'thave wards, people should have the opportunity tovote for any candidate.

"No single issue came up more times than this," hesaid of the last election.

"My objection to it is it's very possible to elect a can-didate who doesn't have a majority vote," said Coun-cilman Francis Bailey. "I don't think it's fair."

City Attorney Bob Pritt agreed that Sanibeltheoretically could wind up with someone who wasn'ta 50 percent vote-getter, but said it could be avoided

Boundary battleShrimpers, crabbers,city argue overoffshore limit line

By Steve RuedigerIslander staff writer

Shrimpers favor a line three miles out, while the cityof Sanibel and crabbers argued for a seven mile lineFriday at Florida Marine Fisheries Commissionworkshop Friday at the Lee County Courthouse in FortMyers.

The commission is trying to decide if a line is neededto separate shrimpers from crabbers in SouthwestFlorida and how far offshore that boundary line shouldbe.

If a boundary is established, it would be illegal forshrimpers to trawl closer to the coast than the line andillegal for crabbers to place their traps further outthan the separation point.

One of the primary purposes of establishing the lineis to avoid violence. Crabbers have accused shrimpersof destroying tens of thousands of dollars worth ofcrab traps in their trawling nets.

During Friday's workshop, testimony was

COTI to intervene in Lee plan hearingThe Committee of the Islands has hired an at-

torney to intervene in the state hearing on the LeeCounty Comprehensive Plan. The attorney,Thomas Reese of St. Petersburg, is the same at-torney that was hired by the Responsible GrowthManagement Coalition, a county-wide group thatis also intervening.

Hearings are required because the Departmentof Community Affairs found the plan not to be incompliance with the Florida growth managementact.

No date has been set for the first hearing.

COTI testified at the various hearings at thecounty level which led to the adoption of the plan.The group's testimony concentrated on the needfor adequate hurricane evacuation through theSummerlin Road corridor and the need to protectenvironmentally sensitive land.

The state's March 24 rejection of the plan wasbased partly on objections similar to those raisedby COTI.

COTI also plans to continue its efforts on thecounty level to fight for lower density levels in theSummerlin Road area.

IT'S ITIME TO REMOVE J. KEITHMOYER AS NEWS-PRESS EDITOR!

VN OPEN LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GANNETT

Ever sinci Mr. Moyer has assumed editorial responsibility for the Ft. Myers News-Press, this daily publicationhas startep losing credibility with the residents of Lee County and the surrounding area, and has finally reacheda new loA' in fair and honest professional journalism! Mr. Moyer has apparently become obsessed with the ideathat he a|bne can brainwash the community with one-sided reporting and censure of both public and private citi-zens foithis own personal satisfaction under the guise of "FREEDOM OF THE PRESS". He has allowed andcondongd the "twisting of facts" by his reporters in an attempt to shape the thinking of local citizens into what heseems could be the Utopian community according to Keith Moyer.

Mr. Moyer may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but he will never be able to fool all of thepeople all of the t ime. . . subscriptions are being cancelled, local citizens are saying "don't believe what you readin the News-Press" and local churches and organizations are outraged by his conduct and personal vendetas.

We are appalled that a person of this calibre who has such a position of trust and power is allowed to continue inthis questionable and irresponsible manner in detraction of the high ethics of the Gannett Organization.

plained that the contest consisted of anabsurd short story in which the namesof 56 birds were hidden. The object wasto find the bird names. It was printed inthe April 4 issue of The Islander.

There were a few comments alongthe line of "I don't know who is crazier;you for thinking up this contest or mefor doing it." Nevertheless, all entrantsseemed to enjoy themselves, whichwas the main objective.

The secondary objective was theprizes. The first prize is a set of wildlifeand habitat books from Barrier IslandPublications and the Sanibel-CaptivaConservation Foundation. Threerunners-up are to receive coffee mugsfrom Care and Rehabilitation ofWildlife.

Students earn science fair honorsBy Ann TravelsteadIslander staff writer

"What Color is Sunlight?" is the title of AmandaHawkins' first place winner in the Seahorse ScienceFair at Sanibel Elementary School.

Hawkins, a third grader, completed her project withprism breakdowns and a spinning color wheel to winfirst in the Physical Science category for primarystudents.

Brooke Pickard, another third grader, won first inthe Life Science class with a project that asked "CanBraces Make a Difference in a Short Time?" She prov-ed categorically that they could so do, and Pickardought to know. She has first-hand experience withbraces.

Drew Stern, a fifth grader, set out to prove thatplants would grow upside down under the proper cir-cumstances. Starting from seed, his experimentalplants did just that, at least, for a while. He won firstplace in the Life Science intermediate division.

The laws of gravity interested Christina Smith, alsoin the fifth grade, and she put together a well-documented project bearing out Newton's Law ofgravity, for an intermediate first place.

A special honorable mention for Science Fair ex-periments went to the only kindergarten student toenter. Michael Cohn devised an exhibition of ex-ploding peas that blew up with mega-force. He provedhis point with a bang.

A three-month investigation into drug trafficking onSanibel resulted in the arrests of 12 people on theisland. Charges ranged from sale and possession of co-caine to possession of drug paraphernalia.

6ACommentary Tuesday, April 25, 1989

Who does belong here?All this talk about Below Market Rate Housing has

brought to the surface dueling opinions concerningwho belongs on the islands. Who deserves to livehere is the question people seem to think needsanswering.

It makes me recall an interview I had with "UncleJoe" Wightman up on Captiva a couple of monthsago. We broached the subject of who belongs hereand who doesn't.

Some say the people who work here belong on theislands. Others believe only those who have workedhard all their lives to move here belong. I thinkthey're both right. The more important criterium,however, is an irresistible love for the islands. Alove that refuses to go unrequited, no matter what.An implanted, inbred love that can't be uprooted.

Like Uncle Joe's.He agrees that work — both hard and here on the

island — should qualify one for membership in thisseemingly elite club.

"These islands were settled by farmers andfishermen who depended on what they raised fortheir livelihood," was how he put it. "When landvalues to up, it helps only the realtors. It puts aburden on us."

Joe's clear on who doesn't belong, and that's thosewho settle our islands only to exploit their naiveteand natural beauty for their own profit.

Uncle Joe is one of those folks some might saydoesn't belong on the islands. His stock portfolioisn't green enough. His little island cottage onWightman Lane has no swimming pool, no soddedlawn.

among the vegetation. Saws, tools, rods and reels, asmokehouse, an overturned boat and a motorizedcart take the place of patio furniture in the yard anda Mercedes in the driveway.

"It wasn't my desire to start a ghetto on theisland," he half apologizes, half defends. He explainsthat he had to move from his former home becauseit was zoned for commercial use, which made thetaxes shoot right out of his budget range.

So here he is in his 80s, Captiva's oldest livinghomesteader, compacted into an island cottage hehopes he can keep.

He is Captiva embodied: small, feisty, barefootand overgrown with a bush of a beard.

He is Captiva history in the making. Like a drivethrough Captiva, exploring the island past withUncle Joe is a twisty, rollicking trip. Here the storytakes an unexpected turn; there time and tides leavetheir gaps.

He's been down every road. The bumpy journeybegins in Captiva's homesteading era, when theWightman family travelled from Washington state tosettle here in 1917. He was 9.

Grapefruit trees populated the islands in thosedays. Joe and his brothers worked the groves for 10

cents an hour. They went to school in a buildingwhich now partially houses Chapel-by-the-Sea. Theyate purloo — a raccoon and turnip stew — andnursed themselves when they got sick: "we had toeither outlive it (the sickness) or die." In their sparetime, they fished.

Joe loves to talk about the old days. On more thanone occasion his story takes a colorful sidetrip fromjust the facts, ma'am. He peoples his history withmen in size 8V2 Army shoes, neighbors with namessuch as "Nutmeg Marge," and hard-working farmhands drinking rot-gut whiskey. On this lattersidetrip, a farm hand gets a free bottle of FourRoses whiskey from some Prohibition rum-runnerscarrying their stash across the island to avoid G-men guarding the bay.

"Boy, that was good whiskey. It would have takena week's wages for me to buy it," said the formerfarm hand with a wide smile framed in whitebristles.

Uncle Joe's time travels roam the realm ofmeteorology, war, astronomy, engineering andCaptiva's modernization — for which he is morethan marginally responsible.

Having earned a correspondence-course degree inelectrical engineering, Joe set out to upgradeislanders' rudimentary electrical systems. That was'round about the time his nephew attended school atwhat is now the Pirate Playhouse, his brotheroperated Gulf View Inn on Captiva (where theMucky Duck now sits) and the boys swung down toAndy's Pier (run by Andy Rosse) for a cold one

To the EditorThe Islander

It's not easy to plan a three-year,circumnavigation of the world. Now the planning isdone and it's time to thank all of our friends onSanibel and Captiva for all their help.

It was just one year ago Gretchen and I decided tosell everything, buy a cruising^ sailboat and headwest until we return to Sanibel.

As I sit aboard Shadowfax at anchor off Captiva,I'm thinking of all the friends we have made livingon the islands for nine years.

Tomorrow morning we head out Redfish Pass forquite awhile and again I want to thank everyone whohelped us pull this off.

We will keep in touch with The Islander to leteveryone know of our adventures and mis-adventures.

I hope we have quite a few bright, sunny days, butI realize storms and close calls make betternewspaper copy.

So long for now Sanibel and Captiva ... we are outof money so it must be time to go.

Thanks for the appreciation. (I mean that bothways).

Frederick's deserveda stiffer sentence


It is incredible that Bud Fredericks, who arrangedto impale a young raccoon on fishhooks embedded ina tree, could receive such minimal punishment forhis cruelty.

All through history, animal abuse has precipitatedhuman abuse, particularly toward the mostvulnerable among us — the children, the ill and theelderly.

Little taps on the wrist such as meted out toFredericks only encourages obscenities toward all

Fine too lowfor 'Fishhook Fredericks'


It seems that the "Fishhook Fredericks" want toblame everybody else for their shameless action.Their excuses seem so immature!

The little raccoon, or anything or anyone else thatcould have been caught on the hooks hung in theirtrees, would not care who told them (theFredericks) to put the hooks up. The actual act wascarried out by them. The fact remains they were putthere and something was badly inured for life bytheir act. They are very lucky that the house wasnever rented to a family that had a child who likedto climb trees. (The trees could have been trimmedback away from the house to prevent all this.)

The fine was too low for the result of thisthoughtless act. What good does it do to award"metal shrouds" to CROW? The Fredericks wereadvised of this method of protecting their house andthey ignored that and any other sound advice giventhem; yet they were willing to act on very crueladvice given them, that of using fishhooks. Peoplelike this would not use metal shrouds even if theywere given to them by CROW, or maybe they expectCROW to come out and install them?

Where is the restitution of the expense to CROWthat I read in the papers the Fredericks stated theywould make? I understand that Nellie's care,operations, etc., amounts to over $4,000 and she isstill confined to CROW. I would like to see theFredericks put their money where their mouth is.

There has been a bill prefiled in Florida'slegistature entitled "Aggravated Animal Abuse Bill"HB1089. This bill would upgrade some acts of crueltyto animals from the current misdemeanor status tothat of felony status.

Please write today to your state representativeand state senators urging their support of this bill. Alist of their names is in the blue pages of the phonebook.

Someone must speak for those who have no voice!Pat Gill

My sympathy

to the Fredericks


I love nature, and I am a member of CROW, but Ido not like sick or destructive raccoons! To foster anenvironment that conditions wild, snarling raccoons,healthy or sick, to fearlessly impede access to yourown premises, and to destructively vandalize yourhome when they claw their entrance successfully, isan outrage!

Yes, the use of fishhooks was dead wrong, but howabout restraining the lady who feeds and attracts theanimals? If they are wild, they do better to live bytheir native survival techniques.

Let's get our priorities straight!To spend $3,000 for the care of an impaired

raccoon seems an absurdity, considering the humanneeds hereabouts! (See News-Press ad requestingfood for the homeless in our area!)

My sympathy to the Fredericks and to all thosewho have had their homes invaded by theseuninvited intruders!

CitysideAttorney blatently flauntscouncil's signage decision

HELEPJ THOMAS

By Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

After he didn't get his way in a signvariance decision, attorney TerryLenick said he was going to advise hisclient to put up the sign in question,regardless of what the City Councilsays.

The rapid verbal sparring thatIlowed became heated, as Sanibel Ci-

ty Attorney Bob Pritt and Mayor LennLorenson squared-off against Lenick,who walked out of MacKenzie Hall firmin his decision to ignore the city'sgraphics ordinance.

Representing architect Pamela Don-nelly of Los Angeles, who neither hasan occupational license nor registra-tion to conduct a business on Sanibel,Lenick was seeking a variance in orderto erect a 24-inch by 30-inch sign on aconstruction site located on a privatestreet in the Kinzie Island subdivision.

Using Roget's InternationalThesaurus and a college grammarhandbook, Lenick took the City Councilword-by-word through the Land

avelopment Code's section of off-site

graphics, citing inconsistencies andp h r a s e s which a r e open tointerpretation.

Lenick demonstrated the differencebetween what the ordinancegramatically states and what the city'slegislative intent is. He concluded that,legislatively, an architect and otherscan have signs, and that there is nostated allowable limit.

Lenick said he knew that the city's in-tent was to have one 6-square-foot signwhich contains the contractor's nameand the proper construction permits,but "If that's what you want, then youshould have said so."

He urged the council to allow Don-nelly's sign to be placed with the con-tractor's, within the 6 square feet, andurged them to change the language inthe ordinance to more accurately statethe conditions.

The city council voted 3-2 to deny thevariance, with Councilmen MarkWestall and Jerry Muench votingagainst.

After the vote, Lennick wanted a

City to play hardball with resistant melaleuca ownersBy Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

If you're one of the eight owners of properties stillharboring any of the soft-barked melaleuca trees,you'll soon be playing hardball with the city if yourefuse to take part in Sanibel's voluntary melaleucatree-removal efforts.

The City Council deferred action April 18 on aresolution which would extend the melalueca removalassistance program and establish a 15-day time limitafter notification in which to comply before thebenefits of the program are withdrawn.

Instead, the city is proposing to declare the

maleleuca quinquenervia to be a noxious plant, whichwould make it unlawful for any owner of real propertyto allow the existance of "hazardous land."

The proposed ordinance will amend the definition ofnoxious plants to read, in part, "Those plants, bushesor trees designated herein ... which are poisonous, orwhich give off foul odors, or which are detrimental toor destructive of, the growth or condition of vegetationnative to the city, and which the City Council deter-mines to present a threat to the health or safety of thepublic, or the aesthetic or ecological environment ofthe city. Without otherwise limiting the category,melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly referred to ascajeput, paperbark or punk tree is hereby declared to

City Hall wantsequal billing withPublic Works

"You know who picked the letters when you lookat the sign," said a laughing Sanibel City ManagerGary Price when he was asked last week why"Sanibel Public Works" was in large letters and"City Hall" and "Police" were in smaller letterson a new direction sign on Dunlop Road.

He said the public works department is respon-sible for the design of all city-owned signs.

However, public works has been told to order anew sign.

"If any letters should be larger it should be'police' because it is an emergency department,"Price said.

The reaction around City Hall to being insmaller letters than public works was "we gotsome laughs out of it," Price said.

Council names 13 as LAC membersBy Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

Thirteen volunteers have been named to the city'snew Land Acquisition Committee, an ad hoc commit-tee which serves as an advisory to the City Councilregarding the purchase of environmentally sensitivelands.

Councilmen voted on the 26 finalists at their April 18meeting, and selected the following committeemembers: Edith Slayton, Daphne Miller, Carol Allin,Jim Krieger, Erick Lindblad, Wallace Kain, Chuck

Bisbee, Jack Samler, Jack Thomas, John Smith,Stephen Mullins, James Hayes and Richard Hartwell.

The committee's primary duty is to analyze alter-native forms of financing the purchase of environmen-tally sensitive lands, including the use of a generalobligation bond issue. It also will recommend the bestalternatives, the proposed timing and any referendumprovisions.

Generating widespread support for the land acquisi-tion program will be the committee members'primary activity.

Sanibel's community finances are very healthyRu Pran^AC Ariame _ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .By Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

Finance Director Renee Lynch became the secondperson allowed applause under Mayor Lenn Loren-son's leadership of the City Council. Up to that time,patriarch Arthur Hunter had been the only persongranted that honor.

Lynch's well-deserved ovation April 18 was for herdepartment's Fiscal Year 1988 Comprehensive AnnualFinancial Report having survived an audit which wonglowing compliments from Fred Edenfield and JeffTuscan, auditors from Coopers & Lybrand accountingfirm.

Edenfield said his job usually entails an extensiveamount of searching for and collating data, but inSanibel's case, he could rely on the Finance Depart-ment staff members to properly prepare allstatements.

"That a real credit to the quality and talent you'vegot here," Edenfield said to the councilmen. He saidthe department's efficiency is a benefit, to the citybecause it holds down the audit costs when he has somuch less to do.

Lynch said she feels confident the report will onceagain receive the Certificate of Achievement for Ex-cellence in Financial Reporting. The award ispresented by the Government Finance OfficersAssociation of the United States and Canada togovernment units whose comprehensive annual finan-cial reports achieve the highest standards in govern-

be a noxious plant, capable of, and subject to, man-datory eradication pursuant to this chapter."

Most of the discussion centered on the ordinanceitself, with City Attorney Bob Pritt carefully explain-ing the whys and wherefores of the chosen wordingwhich will enable the city to have the legal powernecessary to accomplish its goal of total eradicationon the island.

If the ordinance is passed May 2, owners have untilAug. 1, 90 days, before the city can obtain thenecessary search warrants to find the trees andremove them, with the owner paying all expenses.

CHR, cityreunite atworkshopBy Frances AdamsIslander staff writer

"Can this marriage be saved?" asked The Rev. BillDodd, a member of Community Housing & Resource'sboard of directors. "Is there any way to bring thisrelationship from the brink of divorce back into ahealthy and ongoing situation?"

Apparently so, according to the results of the two-hour April 18 workshop between CHR and the city.

At least the first steps toward reconciliation havebeen taken: the two parties have renewed their com-mittment and are making an effort to communicate.Councilman Mark Westall volunteered and was ap-pointed to attend CHR's meetings, ex officio, to help inthe effort toward better communication with the city.

The analogy of a marriage was used throughout thediscussion, with much of the testimony centering onCHR's perception that the city doesn't offer visiblesupport of the Below Market Rate Housing program.

CHR stated its position: "Either the city withdrawsits enabling legislation and funding (which has as yetunassessed legal and political consequences) or the ci-ty reaffirms its committment to provide the supportand leadership necessary for achieving meaningfulresults. CHR is not willing to bear the burden anylonger for administering a housing program for the ci-ty that the city itself appears to resist, and, in fact, aprogram that the city does not clearly acknowledge asits own."

"What do you expect us to do?" asked CouncilmanJerry Muench. "Are you looking for us to back youfinancially?" He said he gets "eaten up" by membersof the community, the majority of which don't supportthe housing program.

"Action speaks louder than words," said Westall."Either we're going to have to bite the bullet and say

Party poopers reign supreme;nix 15th anniversary celebration

The city of Sanibel's been around long enough not tohave to foot the bill for another celebration, at least foranother 10 years or so, according to city councilmen.The Sanibel City Council took only a few minutes todecide not to officially celebrate the upcoming 15th an-niversary of the city's incorporation on Dec. 4.

How often to celebrate anniversaries was theprimary topic, the expense incurred the secondary. Itwas the general consensus that the 25th anniversary in1999 likely would be the next all-out celebration by thecity.

"We're almost there," according toNoxious Plant Control Officer CharlesPonds, who said total eradication couldbe accomplished in a few days. He saidthere are approximately 88 trees left onthe island, 56 of which are on tree-removal-opponent Jimmie Cipriani'sproperty.

Lee County Forester Bill Roeschtestified to the rapid spread ofmelaleuca, citing Six Mile Cypress

Road in Fort Myers as a classic exam-ple of pure, dense stands.

City Manager Gary Price gave clearevidence of how far the seeds cantravel in the wind. He named severalspecific property locations on Sanibelwhere melaleucas have appeared, withthe closest tree being iy2 miles away.

No vote was taken on the ordinance.The second reading will be held May 2.

Appeal made forLund theater requestTo the EditorThe Islander

When this nation was formed, we prided ourselvesin a-€oristitution that protected individual freedomsand preserved individual rights. Among these wasthe right to own and use property whichdistinguished us from the oppressive feudal systemof the Eurpean land barons.

As cities grew, exceptions were permitted byallowing reasonable land controls in the form ofzoning ordinances. But, these controls could not bearbitrary. They had to be based on reasonable needsof the public, which would outweigh individualproperty rights. For this reason, land restrictionsare strictly construed. Just because you may not likewhat a person does with his property is not, of itself,a reason to prohibit a particular use.

Another constitutional principle is thatgovernment may not apply restrictionsretroactively.

Apply these concepts to Carrie Lund's applicationfor the old Bailey store — this building was used fora commercial store and even a gas station for manyyears. The same residential houses which are now inplace existed in harmony with that business. Morerecently, the old Bailey store has been used for astorage warehouse and a children's center. Inaddition, a local institution used it for a regularmeeting site.

The immediate neighborhood has not changed atall — the same undeveloped vegetation exists fromBailey Road to the site of the store, the same housesare located on the shoreline beyond the store andThe Dunes area is now separated by a very wideland buffer with natual island vegetation.

In any event, the use that Carrie proposes is not inthe least offensive. A playhouse is a cultural additionto the community the same as an art museum, balletcompany or a chamber orchestra. In this sense, it isnot really commercial and certainly morecompatible to residential use than any of the prioruses of the old Bailey store.

A strong argument can be made that the Baileystore building is still a non-conforming use,

predating the zoning ordinance, and to deprive thelandowner from its reasonable use is a taking ofproperty without due process.

In fairness, Carrie should not be prohibited fromcontinuing the art form that she brought to Sanibelfive years ago, which has been so well received andsupported. We have heard from some opposed to herapplication that the approval will only provide theBaileys with a permissive use that they could nototherwise obtain; that the chances therefore arebased on profit or greed.

This could not be further from the truth. Theplayhouse use is strictly for Carrie and she is luckyenough to have the support of the Baileys in herendeavor.

The Planning Commission has failed to recognizeand apply the real purpose of the land use — toachieve a result that will benefit the public withoutarbitrarily depriving a land owner of his right to areasonable use.

The April 11 report of the Planning Commissionhas provided no reason whatsoever why theapplication should not be granted. It has merelylisted seven standards which are examined. But,how does the proposed use adversely affect any oneof those standards? The commission simply does nottell you.

1. Is it appropriate use of the land?2. Will it cause overcrowding?3. Will it adversely affect public safety,

transportation, utilities, environmental, social oreconomic resources?

4. Will it adversely affect the character or stabilityof future development?

5. Will it adversely affect orderly growth?6. Will it not preserve public health, safety and

general welfare?7. Is it inconsistent with the city charter?Given these tests, the old Bailey store is perfect

for a playhouse. It is there and it has been there forover 60 years. Its unique location is remote frommost residential homes, it will not causeovercrowding or adversely affect transportation,utilities or the environment.

The City Council has in the past considered thesesame standards for the proposed theater use andprudently granted special use permits for both theold Bailey store and for the Pirate Playhouse. I amsure that a majority of Sanibel residents would urgeyour approval of Carrie Lund's application.

David H. LundSanibel

'Old-timer' objectsto theater proposalTo the EditorThe Islander

I'm sure that no one seriously objects to CarrieLund Cacioppo establishing her own theater onSanibel. But that is not the issue. Our problem withMrs. Cacioppo is her insistence that it be located inan old, established residential neighborhood. This, ofcourse, would require yet another amendment to ourComprehensive Land Use Plan, already changedalmost beyond recognition.

Where does it stop? That is what concernsislanders, not hurricanes and evacuation plans.

We see our quality of life deteriorating as certainof our councilmen again and again override therecommendations of our Planning Department andour Planning Commission to accomodate those inpursuit of pleasure or bigger bucks. This is hardlythe government of the people, for the people and bythe people that we envisioned when we incorporatedin 1974.

There is also the personal element. We old-timershave always put great stock in being good neighbors,but this works both ways. Twice now, people wholive quietly in their home next to the old Bailey'sstore have been threatened with a commercialenterprise that would make life miserable for them.Last year a yacht club was proposed, this year a200-seat theater. What will next year bring?

This is very close to harrassment. What have webecome that a person's right to live in peace nolonger a concerns us?

The City Council will consider Mrs. Cacioppo'srequest on May 2.

Art League members continuetradition with Paint OutsBy Ann TravelsteadIslander staff writer

For almost a quarter of a century, members ofthe Sanibel Captiva Art League have gatheredevery Thursday morning to paint and sketch.Each artist brings a brown-bag lunch to whateversite is chosen for the weekly Paint Out. After theyput away their paints and pads and clean theirbrushes, they meet to share their work. They givekindly and helpful critiques to one another; en-couraging the newcomers, demanding more of theestablished artists.

Under threatening skies last Thursday, ArtLeague regulars set up their easels and sketchpads at the Sanibel Marina.Carol Hagerman, thepresident of the group, was nominally in charge.Painters, however, were free to choosev theirspots.

"This is really hard," complained one painter,looking around the marina. "There is just toomuch to see. You don't know where to start."

Each did find a starting point and settled in torender scenes at the marina in sketches, watercolors and oils. The works were as varied as theartists who make up the long-standing league.

Some painters were obviously working on ex-hibition pieces. Others were just sketching forpleasure, although members are urged to entercompetitive shows and exhibitions. Art Leaguemembers usually manage to capture a fair shareof ribbons and awards.

Currently, works by Art League members areon display at the Sanibel Library. Next month, thelibrary exhibition will feature John Karabin andRuth Searing. Members' paintings may be seen,as well, in the fellowship hall at Sanibel Congrega-tional United Church of Christ, Tuesday throughFriday, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

If you would like more information about theSanibel Captiva Art League and its activities,write to P.O. Box 1192, Sanibel, FL 33957.

Kerins' 'little jewels'featured at Allen'sBy Ann TravelsteadIslander staff writer

In an artscape dominated by big,bold exploratory works, Leslie Kerins'meticulously-detailed oils are rare lit-tle jewels.

The^ dream-image faces might haveccr ^from a squestered 14th centurygahcfy, from portraits commissionedby a tender protector or an adoring

swain.Kerins, elusary and mystic herself,

limits her output, painting only whatimpels her psyche.

Some of her latest oils can be seen atShirley Allen's. The chimerical qualityand unabashed romanticism do notspeak to everyone. But, should you findyourself drawn to a special face, youcould stay enchanted forever.

March a recordmonth for islandand the chamber

March is traditionally the month when ourislands see the most visitors and this past monthwas no exception.

CHAMBERCHANNELSBy Ken MeekerDirector Chamber

The causeway traffic count set a new recordwith 319,506 vehicles making the crossing, a 16percent increase over 1988. It was also the firsttime the count has exceeded 300,000.

A record number of visitors (40,825) alsostopped at the Chamber of Commerce during themonth for information. And on Tuesday, March28, our electric eye clocked 1,907 entering ourlobby ... another record.

Our hats are off to the Sanibel police, who forthe most part, kept the traffic moving with fewmajor delays. But the traffic is easing somewhatand will slowly slip to the traditional Septemberand October lows.

The Islands On TVIn a previous column, we mentioned the

unsolicited publicity our islands receive inpublications the world over.

Peter Eyssens, manager of the SonestaSanibel Harbor Resort, reminds us that duringthe Davis Cup matches, television cameras inthe Met Life blimp scanned Sanibel and Captivatime and time again, bringing pictures of ourislands, along with complimentary commentaryby the announcers, into millions of homes.

That, now doubt, has inspired many viewers topay us a visit.

Recycling Made EasierAnother reminder of what has been announced

in island newspapers ... Two new recyclingcenters have been set into operation on Sanibel.

A second newspaper receptacle has beenplaced at Bailey's Shopping Center behind IslandCinema. This should be a convenient drop-offpoint for mid and upper island residents.

Under the auspices of CROW, a new aluminumcan receptacle is in place at the City Hallcomplex opposite Father Madden's Kitty Kondo.Proceeds from that center will help pay for thatorganization's treatment of injured wildlife.

Chamber Newsletter DebutsAnne Mitchell, former editor of the Island

Reporter, has been selected as editor of a newmonthly Chamber of Commerce newsletterwhich will begin publication in May. Thepurpose of the publication will be to keepmembers informed of the many chamberprojects and programs throughout the year,together with news of interest to the businesscommunity.

Hudson, Cornila new operatorsof Rabbit Road children's centerBy Ann TravelsteadIslander staff writer

Child care professional, Jane Hudson, is the newowner of the Rabbit Road Center for Children. OnApril 10, she and her husband, Dan Cornila, becameoperators of the former Donna Reid Center.

Hudson divides her time between Sanibel andMichigan where she owns two child care centers inMilford. The couple had wanted a child care facilityhere where they had been regular winter visitors..

"We always just missed a business for sale," Hud-son admits, "but this time, we saw the ad, changed ourplans, and here we are."

In the few days that Hudson has been in charge, theRabbit Road Center for Children has undergone morethan just a name change. The staff has been adjusted.Fresh paint has been added. Organization is in the airand more plans are afoot.

Terry Klumpp is director of the center. The staff in-cludes Kelly Turner and Mary Richardson, whoseprimary responsibility is the very young babies undertwo years old. Klumpp and Sue Nettesheim work withthe children up to six years or age and Jim White'smain duties are with the after school children.

Child care is offered from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., 12months a year. Rates vary for regular care, depen-ding on the age of the child. There is also drop-in careavailable for visitors or short-term situations. Andeach afternoon, the school bus drops off youngsters forthe after school program. In the future, Hudson is hop-ing to add night care to the center's services.

The ratio of care-giver to child is high. For the in-fants under two, there is a staff member for every sixcharges. For pre-schoolers, the ratio is 12 students to acare-giver.

Activities also follow a comfortable routine, withspecial art, music and dance sessions.

The Rabbit Road Center for Children, licensed for 75youngsters, is located at 975 Rabbit Road. Phone472-8687.

A 'taste' of the TastePlans are really cooking for

the ninth annual Tkste ofthe Islands coming to theDunes Country Club Sunday,April 30.

Dozens of Sanibel and Cap-tiva restaurants will offertheir specialties in taste-sizedportions so you can samplethe best from the Islands'best.

And the best part of all -aside from the fun and thefood - is that proceeds fromthe day will benefit Care andRehabilitation of Wildlife, theorganization dedicated tohelping injured and orphanedwildlife.

Byrne, staff seekgood time at the Taste

"We're still looking for afirst."

Uh oh ... watch out everyone,The Old Captiva House is on thewarpath and it may take no sur-vivors in Sunday's Taste of theIslands at the Dunes.

Although his comment maysound like the 'Tween WatersInn restaurant has declared waron all the rest of the competingeateries in this year's Taste,what Michael Byrne is actuallyreferring to is the fun-timewaitress and waiter battles thatare a favorite highlight of theevent.

"We've managed to get a se-cond and a third, but we haven'twon yet," said Byrne, the even-ing restaurant manager at theOld Captiva House.

L i k e t h e r e s t of t h erestaurants involved, Byrne andhis co-workers are taking a "it'sjust a fun thing" approach to theannual Taste. Byrne, who hasbeen wi th the C a p t i v arestaurant for eight years,knows just how enoyable theyearly event is. He has been in-volved for the past five years.

"It gives you a chance to meeta l l y o u r fe l low i s l a n drestaurateurs," Byrne said."Rarely do we get chance to seethem. We work late and theywork late, so . . . "

The Old Captiva House will befeaturing one of the items thathas been a favorite at its annualOktoberfest: funnel cakes.

Byrne, who will be under thetent "cooking and cleaning" for

the Taste, said the food fair hasalways been a good thing fdr hisrestaurant.

A year ago the island served aspecial dish featuring mussels,"and people came into therestaurant and requested if"after the Taste of the Islands.

"I believe the restaurant willalways benefit from it."

THE NINTH ANNUAL

we don't want the program and take the consequencesof what the state may end up doing to us, or we're go-ing to have to bite the bullet and take the consequencesof what the community does: they won't like us anymore.

"If I get voted out of office because I end up being infavor of BMRH, then I don't know if I necessarily wantto be on the City Council," Westall firmly stated.

"You want a strong marriage, but what do you wantfrom us?" again asked Muench.

"What we want you to do is to embrace the program,embrace us by your actions. Then let's work togetherto make something happen positively for the pro-gram," answered CHR board member Ray Pavelka.

"Then you're prepared for us to say no from time totime, even most of the time?" asked Councilman MikeMiracle.

"I hope not," Pavelka said. "That doesn't make amarriage work very well."

Mayor Lenn Lorenson asked for the board's finan-cial requirements and Pavelka said the board wasn'tprepared to deal with specifics.

The discussion veered once more into the city staff'sapparent lack of support and the problem of having toincrease density to accomplish BMRH.

"We are not developers," said Dodd, "and yet weare treated exactly the same as developers. You, asemployers, can say, 'This is a city project, make ithappen!' Grant permission for it to happen," hepleaded.

Westall balked at increased density being the onlytool CHR has to accomplish its task. He said CHR isonly following the game plan the city gave, and everytime it submits a plan using that tool, "they get hit inthe face with a 2-by-4.''

It generally was agreed that CHR needs othermeans than increased density to put the program intoeffect, that possibly some changes in rules will benecessary.

Public input was brief due to time limitations, butnot without some practical reminders andsuggestions.

Bob Hangar suggested using some of SCCF lands forthe program.

Arthur Hunter spoke against the premise of the pro-gram, but asked, "Who wants to get in a dog fight withthe state?"

Bruce Lalor requested further hearings to ventilatesome of the issues and to deal more thoroughly with

the specifics. He said there were other more impor-tant issues the city might devote its time and energyto.

Rob Kasten presented a petition signed by residentsvoicing support for BMRH to City Manager GaryPrice.

Former Mayor Mike Klein pointed out that the pro-gram initially was intended for city employees, whoseincomes now are too high to qualify for BMRH. Hesuggested the program might get more public supportif it were set up to help these employees qualify.

Maxine Michl also requested more detailed hear-ings and reminded the council that "Sanibel is 1.6 per-cent of the population of Lee County and we alreadypay 9.97 percent of the taxes."

Realtor Bert Jenks said the planning staff has takenits cue from the City Council, and that cue was to goslowly. He suggested creating some shorter-termedcommittments for the builders. He said the city hasspent too much time and money with very poorresults.

"Make a decision, gentlemen. We support it withdollars, density, legislation and goals, or we can theprogram," Jenks concluded.

Albert Evans suggested a board made up ofmembers of CHR, the planning department and CityCouncil review a project at the onset, to enable thedeveloper to forsee the possible problems involved.

"Abysmally small as it is, the program is amarvelous demonstration of creativity, imaginationand heart for people," said self-proclaimed snowbirdOlive Swinney.

"There's got to be some other incentive besides thedensity increase," said Jean Wood. "Why don't youput it to the planning staff. They're the experts in plan-ning. If they know so much where not to put it, put thechallence to them: Where shall we put it?"

Wood also suggested the planning staff be more ap-preciative of CHR's problems, be more cooperativeand issue more timely reports.

Louise Johnson suggested a survey of the island tofind if there is a pool of existing affordable housing.She also suggested exploring further the idea of inclu-sionary housing in the few developments yet to be builtand said the planning department might give a fasterreview to BMRH projects. ,

Lorenson reiterated the renewed committmentfrom the council to support BMRH's progress. He saidhe felt the session had raised the level of con-sciousness of the members of the council.

Sign continued from page 9A

statement "for the record" of whether the City Coun-cil accepted or rejected his interpretation of theordinance.

"You're not entitled to it," Pritt replied."I may tell my client to put up the sign, but it has

nothing to do with anything personal," Lennick said."We, in good faith, are believing that we are correct inour interpretation."

Pritt asked why he would want to take that action,and Lenick said the correct interpretation would allowthem to have a sign.

Pritt suggested the appropriate thing to do is to seekrelief from the court, rather than to go out and disobeythe council.

Lenick said if they put the sign up, then it's up to thecity to go in and enforce their regulations.

"We've already done that," Lorenson said. "Yorput your sign up; we took it down."

Lenick said, no, the sign was put up and was askedto be taken down. They were told to apply for avariance; they went through that process and thevariance was denied. He then stated once again his in-tent to "proceed under the assumption that we're cor-rect in the interpretation."

"I ain't no lawyer, Terry, but I do know one thing:We've told you you can't do what you want to do,"Lorenson said. "If you want to go out there and do it, Idon't know why."

"It's in good faith," Lenick said. "It's not somethinglike the health, safety and welfare. Nobody's going toget killed for an architect's sign going up out there."

"This is civil disobedience, as far as I'm concernedand I don't think an attorney at law has any part indisobeying what is an interpretation of the law by agoverning body. I'm really against that," Pritt said"I think that's very irresponsible."

Lenick answered that it was a good faithinterpretation.

"It's not a good faith interpretation when you say,'OK, you've made your determination, now we're go-ing to go out and ignore the law.' And if you want to dothat," Pritt cautioned, "don't look for any kind of abreak from the city of Sanibel.

"I think it's irresponsible and I think that it'ssomething that an attorney had better look at hisethics about before he advises his client to do it."

Lenick pointed out that the CityCouncil is a legislative body, and theonly forum that can decide what thelaw really is, is a court of law, ajudicial body.

"My client has only three or fourmonths left on the construction site,"Lenick said. "By the time we gothrough the judicial process, that timewill be up."

"I think the issue of good faith is over

with. We've rendered a decision,"Lorenson said. "You'd just be flauntingsomething right in our face, rubbing iour noses in it if you stick that sign up,in view of what we've decided today. Ireally consider the matter closed."

"Until a judicial body says thatdoesn't go up, my client is not in con-tempt of anything," Lenick said finallyand walked out.

The Southwest Florida WaterManagement District has published abrochure listing "50 Ways To Save ADrop." The following are select itemsfrom that list:

• Apply only one inch of water perweek to lawns, or at signs of wilting.

• Mulch plants to retain soilmoisture. Mulch also helps controlweeds.

• Adjust the hose or sprinkler tocover just the grass or shrubs and notthe street, sidewalk or driveway.

• Landscape with native or droughttolerant plants. Once established, thesevarieties require less watering andwithstand droughts well.

• Don't hose down driveways orsidewalks.

• Check out installing more efficientsprinkling such as micro-irrigation ordrip-irrigation systems.

• Find and correct any plumbingleaks.

• Automatic dishwashers use about15 gallons of water per load. Don't washonly a partial load.

• Don't let the water run whilebrushing your teeth or washing yourface.

• Avoid unnecessary flushing of thetoilet. Flushing unnecessarily twice aday can waste 420 gallons of water inone month.

• Install water-saving devices in in-door and outdoor plumbing.

( jOf i t f iSt con t i nued from,page 3Aare Barbara B. Joyce of Sanibel; FahyBygate of Duxbury, Ma.; and HollyDavies of Sanibel. They were alsoselected by a drawing.

The other people getting correctanswers were Dorothy Meyer ofSchenectady, N.Y. and Prof. JosephGruland of Providence, R.I.

Stegman is a volunteer at J.N."Ding" Darling National WildlifeRefuge and is continuously working toexpand her knowledge of birds.

The puzzle had a few small problems,such as the names ani, owl and robin,which were listed twice.

People also found birds that had notbeen intended in the puzzle. These in-

led poor-will, hen, and tit. ThoseWiO considered these legitimate hadnot kept abreast of K.C. Emerson's"Check-List of Birds for the area ofSanibel, Captiva and adjacentislands."

However, people were not dis-qualified from the list of winners forlisting those birds. People were dis-qualified for not listing one of the birdswe had intended to be there or for notgiving the full name of the bird whenthe full name was in the puzzle.

A number of people asked why somebirds were listed twice. The answer is

embarrassing: we goofed. (It is rathernice to be able to use the editorial "we"rather than saying "I goofed," whichsomehow seems more personal.)

Of course, this is the first time in itslong publishing history that TheIslander has ever goofed. At least asfar as I can remember. Some peoplehave said, on the other hand, that Idon't have a very good memory.

Be that as it may (which, of course, itwill be), those are the results of thecontest. Except, of course, for a list ofthe correct answers for those peoplewho want to look back and find the birdnames.

Here those answers are: least bit-tern, tern, flicker, egret, heron,American robin, merganser, redhead,northern gannet, killdeer, whip-poor-will, willet, cardinal, chuck will'swidow, phoebe, canvas back, blackrail, hawk, crow, ibis, red knot, sora,loon, owl, robin, bunting, plover,towhee,,coot, swift, dove, teal, yellowlegs, ani, stilt, thrush, chat, swallow,merlin, wren, crane, gull, sapsucker,martin, common yellow throat, finch,mallard, red start, sparrow, warbler,tanager, kinglet, dickcissel, godwit,grebe and European starling.

presented that guns are being carried and violence ispossible in the war between shrimpers and crabbers.

Sanibel representatives testified that they did notwant to take sides in the dispute between the twofishing groups. The city's concern is for the environ-ment, including the protection of sea turtles, the seabottom and the nursery areas of fish and shrimp.

Those testifying for the Sanibel position includedMayor Lenn Lorenson, City Manager Gary Price,Charles LeBuff of Caretta Research, Don Case of thecity marine advisory council, Sanibel-Captiva Conser-vation Foundation Executive Director Erick Lind-blad, City Councilman Mark Westall and formermayor Louise Johnson.

One shrimper accused the Sanibel representativesof hypocracy regarding sea turtles saying, "they haved«*-*royed the nesting areas with their condos overti J ."

He said if lines were going to be drawn preventingshrimping within miles of the shore, then there shouldbe an equal line drawn inland forbidding development.

A man who is both a shrimper and a crabber wenteven further regarding excessive development.

Edgar "Little Boy" Johnson said, "The firstmistake we made was not blowing up the Georgialine."

The hearing for which the information is beinggathered will be held the week of May 8 inTallahassee. Marine Fisheries Commission ViceChairman Thomas H. Fraser PhD, who presided overFriday's discussion, said the problem of dead seaturtles should be solved by the requirement of turtleexcluder devices on shrimp nets after May 1.

There was restrained hostility between thes i m p e r s and the crabbers throughout the meeting.(. ,groupsatononesideof the room while the — — ^ — — i ^ —other group sat on the op-posite side.

Fraser indicated at onepoint that with theshrimpers not budgingfrom three miles and thecrabbers from sevenmiles, the commissionmight just split the dif-ference in setting the line.In other words, it mightbe set a five mile boun-dary. He said severaltimes he would prefer thetwo groups reachedagreement betweenthemselves.

Several shrimperstestified that this hadbeen an unusual yearwith the shrimp in closerto shore than normal.

Dave Green of FortMvers Beach responded

, "if you left theshrimp alone (when theyare small and close to theshore) you would catchthem further out whenthey are bigger."

Green, who claimed tobe the oldest resident ofFort Myers Beach, hav-ing moved there in 1925,added, "These shrimpdon't get a chance to goout and get big." He alsoclaimed that the shrimp-ing close to shore "is br-inging sharks in closer toshore and people are go-ing to get bit."

}reen, a stone crabber,said, "I have lost 1,000traps this year. It put meout of business and itwasn't an accident."

Lindblad pointed outthat there was a signifi-cant difference betweenthe arguments of theSanibel group and theargument between theshrimpers and crabbers.

"I'm looking at it as aconservation line and thepeople out there are look-ing at it as an economicline," Lindblad said.

If the commission setsa boundary, it will pro-bably be by law by Oc-tober, according toFraser.

with a runoff election.Lorenson said the particular drawback of running

on a seat-by-seat basis was that it limited the voters'choice of candidates.

"If you win, you win on your merits alone," saidCouncilman Jerry Muench, in favor of the proposal.

"I don't believe in candidates running unopposed,"said Lorenson, "although it certainly makes for a lotless coffee drinking and wine-and-cheese parties."Lorenson and Bailey each have run unopposed.

Miracle made the motion to draw up an open-election ordinance for public hearing.

"It's wiser to wait until - ^ ^ — ^ — — — ^ — - —t h e 1990 C h a r t e rReview," said Pritt, em-phasizing caution. Hesaid the matter needs tobe reviewed by theCl er Review Commit- ^PROPERTIES)tee, that changing themethod of electing coun-cil members could affectquite a few sections of theCity Charter.

"Now everybody whohas a slight complaint orthink they've got a goodidea is coming up now forcharter revisions," saidBailey. He said he'd liketo appoint a committee toinvestigate it and see ifthese changes are reallyadvisable.

"At first blush, a lot ofit things sound good,''Ba^ey said. "And I'msure everybody that br-ings up these things is do-ing it, in their own minds,because they think it'sthe best. But, ultimately,it may not be the best.What's the rush?"

"I don't think thatsomething should be donewith the idea of rushing itto affect the next elec-tion," Pritt said. "If it's agood idea, it it really willstand the test of carefulscrutiny and carefulreview, then it ought notbe done with some type ofangle in mind."

Miracle emphasized itwasn't a new idea, that italready had a previousfavorable committeereview and "there's noreason we shouldn't movef ard."

Lorenson reminded thecouncil there would stillbe two hearings in whichthere would be con-siderable public input.

Flatow said the charterreview route would meana wait until 1992.

"We've already waitedthree years. You've hadgood evidence," he said.

Commit tee of theIslands President JamesHayes said its board ofdirectors recently votedunanimously to support a

oposal to have a. ^jrendum in 1989 givingvoters a choice betweenan at-large election andthe present system.

Sanibel resident LarrySimon said one of theduties of the council wasto deal with and bring in-to focus any complexitiesthat might arise.

"When you start referr-ing things to a committeethat is nonexistant, it'sjust a very commonpolitical ploy to delay areview and a decision,"Simon said. "We're justdelaying what seems tobe a pretty well authen-ticated feeling of theelectorate." COUMADO

Gil Bursley, former president of COTI, said it wasimportant to have government understood by the peo-ple. He said an open election would add credibility andstature to the city government.

Former City Council candidate Roz Wegryn said shehad heard many comments about the present system,where you could have the two most talented and mostqualified people running for the same seat and youcould not have them both.

"It's a disservice to the people to put it off," sheurged.

A vote was taken to request the proposed ordinancebe prepared with an amendment that it first bereviewed by a committee. It was defeated, 1-4.

A second vote requesting staff to prepare an open-election ordinance passed, 4-1, with Bailey votingagainst.

"A supermajority again!" said Lorenson.

Mahoe: an island nativeFamiliar hibiscus tree thrives in subtropical habitats

3y Or. Willard W. Payne

For the nature lover or history buff, ourislands are full of fascination.

The.prehistoric Calusa Indians ruled southFlorida for a millennia, and defended theirkingdom against the invading SpanishConquistadors from our very shores. Europeanand Amerindian settlers later drove the Calusasto«xtoction in the early period of Caucasiandominance.

Civil-War-era white settlers, cut off from therest of the United States by lack of roads andrailroads, attempted unique agriculture that waslinked to our special climate and to the need toship produce north slowly by sailing vessels.People of every type and aspiration havebrought their own weeds and cultivated species,many of which have escaped and naturalized.

All of this gives pause for reflection aboutwhat we see during any stroll through ourdiverse island landscapes. Mahoe, the familiarisland hibiscus tree (Hisbiscus tiliaceous L.) isno exception.

Tolerant of salt spray, sandy soil and poornutrients, mahoe flourishes in every subtropicaland-tropical island habitat known throughout theworld. Found everywhere in the tropics andsubtropics, it resembles the beach morning gloryCraijrojad vine), a$d is said to be ''pan-tropical."

"' All sources list the family (Malvaceae) and *•the genus (Hibiscus) as being distributedthroughout the world, especially in the tropics.Also known in English language literature as"Cuban Bast," there is no reason to believe thatmahoe has not been present in south Florida(where several other hibiscus species are alsonative) for a very long time.

Mahoe is frequently planted as a yard tree,and it is splendid for producing a broad, dense,evergreen, screening mass up to 35 feet high.Growth is rapid under faverable^eircumstances,and the plant sometimes gets ' 'out "of hand'' ^because of its tendency for low branchestouching the. soil to root and start new trees.

Used as a specimen plant where it isnecessary to restrict the tree's diameter, it iswise to trim the lower branches and underplantwith less enthusiastic shrubs or native herbs.One can also underplant with grass to water andmow, but this is not recommended in theXeriscape age!

The dark green leaf blades are almost roundin general shape, with up to eleven veinsradiating from the point of leaf-stalkattachment. On the underside, the largest,

Distinct veins are visible on the underside of themahoe's leaves. Tiny slits located near the on theleaves are sugar glands.

Mphoe, the t«;ee hibiscus, is found alt across southFlorida. It features a flowering'branch and broadleaves.

central veins bear elongate, slit-like glands thatattract ants to nectar they produce while theleaves are young. This mutualism benefits plantand ant; the ants enjoy a ready supply of food,while they, in turn, defend the tree from otherinsect invaders. It benefits us as well, becausethe plants are always lush and relatively freefrom insect damage.

:The leaf blades are heart-shaped at the base,and abruptly pointed at the tip, smooth andshiny on the upper surfaces and somewhat hairybelow. Young leaves are edible and may be usedas a vegetable, either raw or after brief cookingas you would spinach or chard. - .

The slime that characterizes members of thisfamily, well-known in okra, Hibiscus esculentusL., will put off some, as will the tiny hairs thatfeel slightly velvety on the tongue, but whenseasoned and buttered, the flavor is quite good.

Blessed with more than I needed recently, Icombined % cup of cooked, buttered mahoeleaves with an equal amount of biscuit mix, anegg, half a small onion and seasoning ofcayenne, salt and pepper, and processed themixture in my food processor to make a thickishbatter. Fried as a dinner pancake in the mannerof potato pancakes, and served with sour cream,they were truly delicious ... and green!

Another appropriate use of the leaves would beas file gumbo (gumbo leaves.) Just throw awashed handful into the stock until it isappropriately thickened, and then remove them.Better yet, julienne the leaves finely, and leavethem in.

The lovely and fragrant flower petals are alsoedible; dip them in pancake batter and fry asyou would squash blossoms for a delicate"mahoe fritter," or add them to salad or a plateof sliced tomatoes as a -special garnish.

The large, three-to-five-inch flowers are gold-yellow when they open, with dark maroon at thebase of the floral cup. The stamen stalks form asleeve around the style, as is typical of hibiscusand the family, and yellow stamens project fromthis column in abundance. At the end of thecolumn, five velvety, maroon stigma padsemerge from the sleeve to await pollination.

Thus, the floral parts form a splendid pollinationtarget resembling a bull's eye, with a colorpattern of yellow-maroon-yellow-maroon.

Late in the day, the petals gradually becomeburnished with umber and garnet. By day's end,the entire corolla has become dark blood-red.The bloom falls during the night or the followingmorning to leave the inflorescence clean anduncluttered. A characteristic of the species is,therefore, a mix of lemon and red-mahoganyflowers when it is seen early in the mornint,.

Fruits mature as dry capsules that split intofive segments to liberate dark, bean-shapedseeds about a quarter-inch long.

For me, the most interesting quality of mahoeis the fact that its tough inner bark is layered inlong, strong ribbons. If an old stem is cut away,or if rooted branches are encouraged to sproutbeneath the crown of the parent tree, straight,relatively unbranched suckers grow. If aplanting is trimmed and managed to encouragegrowth of suckers, one has a copse (pronounced'cops') with the ability to produce many slender,unbranched stems each season.

Slit with a knife, or by pulling off a narrowstrip from bottom to top, the bark is easilypeeled away intact, leaving a pole of white, lightwood. Retted in the waters of the gulf for acouple of weeks, the inner bark ribbons separateand can be readily stripped away. Using simpletwining techniques that require only yourfingers, these can be made into fine, very strongcords and ropes. Cordage is made from mahoein both hemispheres, wherever it occurs, andthis was certainly one of the most importantreasons to encourage this plant in former, days.

Several fiber plants, including wild cotton, arefound on our islands, but mahoe is one that couldhave made the bow strings with which Calusawarriors were able to shoot arrows with suchpower that they could pierce the armor_ofSpanish soldiers. Among others, Ponce de Leondied from such a wound.

Mahoe lashings may have held together theunique chickee shelters still used as housing bythe Seminoles. Perhaps fine mahoe stringsserved as fish lines, and they may have been

Meet the SPDSgt. Michael T. Blackmore is a force veteran

By Ann TravelsteadIslander staff writer

Sgt. Michael T. Blackmore joined the ranks of theSanibel Police Department in October, 1978 after hav-ing served a year as a police volunteer.

His parents, Regina and the late George Blackmore,started coming to Sanibel in the mid 1960s. In 1972,they bought property and built a house, planning torent it. Their son, Mike, came down from Columbus,Ohio, for a visit and became their tenant.

For a couple of years, the young Blackmore builtseawalls, held a series of not-too-serious jobs and settl-

\into a lawn maintenance business.When a friend suggested the volunteer police force,

he decided to try it."It seemed like a good way to help people and I

. jund that I enjoyed it," Blackmore recalled. "I askedif I could become a regular officer."

After attending the Southwest Police Academy inFort Myers, he became a full-time officer.

Single, out-going and cheerful, Sgt. Blackmoreserves as shift supervisor for the department's after-noon crew, a job that keeps him going from 3-11 p.m.Most of his time is spent on the road, checking out staffand routine on his shift.

The most significant change in the police depart-ment, he thinks, is the new headquarters in City Hall.

"When I started, we were in with the Fire Depart-ment, then over Pick Kwik. This is great," he saidleaning back and surveying his office with all the toolsof his law enforcement trade neatly ranked along thewalls.

Off duty, Michael Blackmore sails Hobie Cats, rideshis bike and plays some racketball.

"It's all non-competitive," he says, "I sail for thepure enjoyment of it."

His biggest reward on the job as a police officercomes when he reunites a lost child with its family.

"You'd be surprised how many kids get lost on thebeach." He shakes his head. "I like to say that I'venever lost one yet. None of them stays lost. I really likeit when I can help people."

Afterall, that's why Blackmore joined the volunteerforce 12 years ago. He wanted to help. Sgt. Michael T. Blackmore Photo by JUDY CORRIGAN

Potts Memorial Tournament32foursomes participate in annual island golf event

By Rick FowlerIslander staff writer

On Saturday, April 22, the Lions Clubs ofSanibel-Captiva and South Fort Myers joined withThe Dunes Golf and Tennis Club, areabusinessmen and golfers for a day of fun in tributeto Robert "Bob" Potts.

Bob Potts was a businessman, civic leader,humanitarian and 20-year resident of Sanibel. Hewas once owner of Huxter's, Sanibel Realty and R& B Liquors.

Potts spent 37 years as an active member andleader within the Lions Club organization. After 20years with the Sanibel-Captiva Club, he, with thegroup's sponsorship, helped found the South FortMyers club. Among his noteworthy contributionsto the community was the donation of a blood-mobile for Lee Memorial Hospital.

The 32 foursomes that participated in Satur-day's event "were here to honor Bob," said BillPotts, Bob's brother and tournament founder.

"It gets bigger and better each year, as Bob'sfriends bring their friends to the event," hebeamed.

This year's tournament, like the past four, rais-ed funds for local community service work. One-half of the estimated $5,000 raised was donated toOutreach, a local drug rehabilitation program,while the remainder will be used by the Lions topurchase glasses and eye exams for the needy.

Participating in the event were Bob's son Den-nis, now a Baptist minister residing in North

Carolina, and his son-in-law John Williams, ownerof Gulf Point Liquors. Bob's wife, Doris, was alsopresent to assist with the cooking of hot dogs andthe awarding of prizes to the golfers.

Among the island noteables playing in the tour-nament was the Naumann foursome, which finish-ed fourth in a scorecard playoff with 55. DunesProfessional Pat Flinn's foursome finished wellbehind the leaders with 60.

Top honors went to the foursome of Price,

Bnegh, Myrick and Butzinus with a 53. Secondplace finishers were K. Dakos, N. Dakos, Piliarisand Scott with 54. Capturing third place in ascorecard playoff was the foursome of Wedley,Rodgers, Forsberg and Silverstein with 55.

Judging by the number of awards and prizesdistributed, as well as the smiling faces of thoseparticipating, the island can look forward to theSixth Annual Potts Memorial Tournament nextyear.

Mary Schultz tops Hoopla! field

HOOPLA!

By Heather Snyder

CO•a

This week's contest was an astounding display ofbasketball knowledge by all who entered. Fivepeople tied for second place with only two incorrectselections. One person, however, missed only one toclaim the Hoopla! crown this week. That winner isMary Schultz. The only game Mary missed was theDallas at Denver game, which almost everyonemissed this week. Congratulations Mary!

The playoffs are here. Beginning Thursday night,the 16 teams who were good enough to clinch aplayoff berth will begin the long road to thechampionship game. Leading the way is Detroit.

What a talent the Pistons have shown this season.Led by All Star Isiah Thomas, Detroit boasts the

league's best record with 63 wins. The L.A. Lakersand Cleveland are close behind with 57 wins each.New York won its division with 52 wins, and Utah,yes Utah, won its division with 51 wins.

What about Boston? The Celtics clinched theirplayoff berth Sunday with a win over Charlotte.Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute guys.

It's pins and needles time as tension mounts andtempers flair. Only the best will survive and thereare no second chances. A win means the chance tomove ahead. Too many quick losses means a planeticket back home.

We hope to begin our exciting new baseball contestin the next few weeks. As yet unnamed, it promisesto be as successful, if not more successful, thanPigskin Picks and Hoopla!. Stay tuned for all thedetails in next week's issue. As always, dinner fortwo at the Dunes goes to the winner.

Circle the team you think will win each game. For the game ofthe week, also include your guess of the total points that will bescored in the game.

Taste rookie Bowmanprepares Fox for fair fun

She may be new to the islandand its restaurant scene, butHolly Bowman, the manager ofthe Snooty Fox, knows about theTaste of the Islands.

"It'll be fun," she admittedrecently. "I'm really lookingforward to it."

Although the Fox did not par-ticipate in the Taste a year ago,the restaurant was inolved twoyears ago, so the staff is morethan ready for this year's action.

Bowman said it's likely thathalf the eatery's 22 staffers willbe involved in the Taste in someway, either preparing and serv-ing ice cream or competing inthe waiter and waitresscompetition.

"I know a lot of the girls arereally looking forward to it,"Bowman said in reference to thehead-to-head food servers'action.

Bowman, who was lured to theisland restaurant by her boss,owner Quentin Queisser, from abakery shop she owned in FortMyers, is also a recentnewcomer to Southwest Florida,having moved here just fouryears ago from Nashville, Tenn.

Although she might besomewhat inexperienced in theways of the Taste, Bowman pro-mises the energetic staff of theSnooty Fox will make up for itslack of knowlege with extraeffort.

The non-profit wildlife hospitalhas for many years beensynonomous with caring for in-jured and orphaned wildlife.

So bring your empty stomach(it won't stay that way long) andplan to spend the day having funand raising funds for a most wor-thwhile cause. See you there!

Foundation continues banding baby ospreys on islandsBy Steve RuedigerIslander staff writer

So far this season, 22 baby osprey have been bandedby Mark "Bird" Westall and a group of volunteersfrom the International Osprey Foundation, which wasfounded by Westall.

Saturday afternoon, three young ospreys in the nestat the end of Dixie Beach Boulevard had the metalbands affixed to their legs.

Westall and Bob Southern took turns climbing theladder to the nest to bring down and then return theospreys.

Throughout the entire operation, the mother of theyr" ^ birds swooped trying to attack the person on thela jr.

"She's coming in on your right," yelled othervf^'nteers on the ground as Westall climbed and duck-ei. i of way of the attacking raptor at the same time.

While atop the ladder, Westall removed monofili-ment line the birds had incorporated in their nests.The line can entangle the bird resulting in injury ordeath.

While the young birds are in the nests, the OspreyFoundation checks every nest on the islands at leastonce every three weeks.

The birds that were banded Saturday were alsomeasured and weighed.

Earlier in the day, the group found a very youngosprey on the ground. Something had obviously hap-pened to the parents and the bird had not been fed forsome time. The foundation will attempt to raise it toadulthood.

The banding helps develop information on the rangeof the ospreys, their distribution and other facts to im-prove understanding of the species, according toWestall, who is also a Sanibel City Councilman.

The banding attracted a small gathering from the

neighborhood. The onlookers made collective soundsin response to the drama each time the mother ospreytried to attack the ladder climber. She never succeed-ed in her attacks.

When placed on the ground the baby birds laidthemselves as flat as possible, a response they use inthe nest to hide from predators.

Sea turtle patrols being organizedVolunteers who will walk the beaches looking for sea

turtle nests met last Saturday for the first recruitmentsession. About 24 people heard Charles LeBuff ofCaretta Research describe a new program to help en-sure that more loggerhead sea turtles survive.

In the program, volunteers will walk the beaches of

the eastern end of Sanibel early each morning. When anew nest of sea turtle eggs is discovered, a contactperson will arrange for the eggs to be transferred tothe western end of Sanibel where soil conditions are

Jacaranda's Purdy is aTaste of the Islands vet

Michael Purdy has seen manythings change on the island inhis 16 years here.

The waiter at The Jacarandahas even seen a few alterationsat the restaruant — new ownersand name changes to name justa couple.

Still, said Purdy, who has beenwith the establishment forll-plus years, it's the people atThe Jacaranda that makes it atrue pleasure to go to work.

"I enjoy the people I workwith," he said, noting that hestarted out at the Sanibelrestaurant as a dishwhaserbefore moving up to a bus boypost and now to a waiter.

"We like a big family ... it's a

real family-like atmosphere."The Jacaranda will be one of

competitors in Sunday's Taste ofthe Islands at The Dunes.

He admits he's "been thereevery year" and he enjoys itbecause "everyone has a goodtime."

This year, Purdy is going totake it easy. He's not going to

. work ... he's not even going tohelp The Jacranda battle for thecoveted waitress/waiter honors.

"I'm just going to be a spec-tator this year," he said.

He may be watching, but therest of The Jacaranda crew willbe hard at work serving linguiniand clams and barbecued ribs.

Destruction ofwildlife onisland roads

How painful the sight of a dead animal on theroadside. Once lovely creature — purposelessdeath, game for no hunter, food for no plate.Wasted.

ENVIRONMENTALNOTEBOOK

By Wallace M. Kain

One day in 1987, John Veenschoten, appalledby the sight of seabirds dead on the causeway,began to count. Could counting and locating theplaces of road kills help us understand thedimensions of the killing? Could it somehowshow us how to reduce the toll?

Last year, under his leadership as vicechairman, the Sanibel Wildlife Committeeundertook a yearlong study of the animals, birdsand reptiles killed on our roads. A daily road killtally would be taken on 21 miles of Sanibel'sroads including all of Periwinkle, San-Cap Road,West Gulf Drive, Casa Ybel, Tarpon Bay, RabbitRoad and the causeway.

These roads were divided into numbered1/3-mile segments and the gloomy count begun.Reports were taken from interested citizens andvolunteers who walked, biked and drive theirassigned routes. The results were recorded byspecies killed, day of the week and by month toshow seasonal effects.

It was estimated that less than half of the killswere actually counted because a great manymortally hurt animals would crawl to cover andbe hidden from the count. Also, many road killsare eliminated from the count by early pick-upof city crews, predators, scavengers, vehicleimpact casting them form the roadside andsimply being missed. In order to give aconseravtive but reasonably accurate picture,the actual count total was doubled.

Results?Brace yourself. The .kill on these raods was

estimated at 1,029 animals and 228 birds forjatotal loss of 1,257 in the one-year period. Thistranslates into 60 kills per mile per year.

This picture is but partial, covering 21 miles ofour busiest roads, but not all of the 65 miles ofcity-owned roads and no private ones. It involvesonly kills.

Records kept by Care and Rehabilitation ofWildlife add another chilling dimension:automobiles are among the greatest cripplers ofwildlife. The total of 1,257 kills per year is onlythe beginning of this dismal story!

Although the committee's report draws nofirm conclusions, it offers evidence in severaldirections. The total number of kills seems to begreatest in the winter months when thepopulation of creatures, especially birds, andautomobile drivers is high. The kill ratediminishes where curves slow the traffic andincrease on the long straight areas which, thereport says, "may indicate that automobilespeed is a strong contributing factor."

Hot spots?Creatures should beware the San-Cap Road

area between Rabbit Road and the entrance tothe J.N. "Ding" Darling Refuge where the killrate is 460 percent of the study average. In theBowman Beach-Wulfert Road area the rate is290 percent of the average. Birds, especiallyterns, watchout at the causeway bridges. And,be doubly cautious in February.

Dangerous times?The report states there is "a decided increase

over the weekend with Friday night/Saturdaymorning showing the most kills, followed bySaturday night/Sunday morning. This is possiblydue to the absence of city crews cleaning up onthe weekends.

Live shelltouch tank at SCCF

An additional display room containing a live s)"'itouch tank has opened at the Sanibel-Captiva Con.vation Foundation.

A donation last week from the Sanibel-Captiva Sb°UClub will provide a second pump, an aerator ai.heater for the new tank display.

The tank contains a number of hearty live shells thatvisitors can touch, including lightning whelks, kingscrowns and banded tulips, according to SCCF internWenley Ferguson.

The tank, which had been at SCCF but was previous-ly unused, has been placed in a room that had beenpreviously used as a storeroom.

Displays telling about areas where the shells can befound will complete the touch tank display.

Shell Club President Beverly Deynzer said, whilemaking the donation, that "education is one of themost important goals of the shell club."

SCCF Director Erick Lindblad, left, and Sanibel-CaptivaShell Club President Beverly Deynzer check out the nowtouch tank display.


Fill 'er upCity begins eliminating Algiers lake


The lake behind Algiers beach in Gulfside City Parkis being filled in by the city of Sanibel. But some of thefill is not what it is supposed to be.

The city has state authorization to fill in the lakewith clean fill and vegetative debris. But boards thatwere dumped beside the lake over a month ago don'tmeet that description.

"I will get out what isn't supposed to be there," saidSanibel City Manager Gary Price when he was in-formed of the situation. He said the wood, which may

have been part of a sign, was dumped by unknownpeople.

The city is using chunks of concrete and old vegeta-tion for fill.

The lake is to be completely filled in, Price said,because it was an artificial lake in the first place, itswater quality is bad and there is a problem with peo-ple feeding alligators there.

He also said that the stagnant water was not a goodthing to have near picnic tables and the public beach.

Mr. and Mrs. Trapper get new nest siteA new nest has been erected for the pair of red

shouldered hawks who have been living on the air con-ditioner at the Care and Rehabiliation of Wildlifefacility on Sanibel-Captiva Road.

Friday morning, a crew from the Lee County Elec-tric Cooperative erected a pole approximately 50 feetfrom the nest's old location on the side of the CROWbuilding. The crew then transferred the nest from theAC unit onto a platform atop the pole.

The hawks — affectionately known as Mr. and Mrs.Trapper by the staff at CROW — watched the activitybut did not interfere. They also did not immediatelyuse the new nesting site.

Trapper was at one time a patient at CROW butafter he was healed and released, he never really left.Later, he found a mate and they now both call theCROW area.home.

The hope is that the new nest will be far enoughaway from the stairs at CROW that the hawks won'tattack people while they have eggs in the nest.

The air conditioner the hawks have been using isdirectly over the stairs. When the birds had eggs intheir nest, CROW had to block the stairs off frompublic use, to prevent people from getting attacked bythe adult birds.

Last year, the eggs turned out to be infertile. Thisyear, two baby hawks hatched. Unfortunately, onedied of natural causes and the other was carried off bya predator.

The co-op volunteered its equipment and time as apublic service. Steve Craig, Dennis Ryan and RogerHerron, all of Sanibel, did the work of erecting the poleat CROW.

The electric company has also, at no charge,erected many of the poles used as osprey nesting sitesaround the island.

Heart urchin a rare islands' find

CM

ID•D(0W

While sand dollars are relatively common, there isone member of this well-known family which is ararity on our beaches.

It is sand-colored, about the size of a pinched golfball and is called a heart urchin.

Sea urchins and sand dollars are very closelyrelated; think of an urchin as an inflated dollar.Both are made up of tiny plates which are visableonce the shell is dried and cleaned.

The heart urchin is very fragile and usually foundafter storms have torn up the gulf beaches. I havenever found a living one, though, and it's been wellover a year since we found one at all.

The oblong-shaped urchin has tiny hairs, as doesthe sand dollar, and when dead it will be that samesandy, light brown color as the flat specimens.

You can easily crush a heart urchin between yourthumb and finger, they are that delicate and one ofthe reasons they are not often found.

Sand dollars are dark brown when living and giveoff a yellow stain to the fingers should you carry

SHELLINGTIPS

By Capt. Mike Fuery

them around for long.It was only a few years ago that tourists used to

brag about finding hundreds of living dollars,bleaching them and then taking them home. Sadly,on many of our beaches, finding a living or deadsand dollar is a rarity now because of those previouscollectors.

Incidently, there was a bit of good advice passedon to me several years ago for transporting sanddollars once they have been bleached and perhaps

preserved by a hardener.A lady who had been reading this column said she

always seemed to break her dollars when shepacked up and put her bag on the airplane. That is,until she found a great idea for protecting thisdelicate "shell."

She said she would buy a loaf of cheap white breadand put the dollars between each slice! It works,tool

Both the dollar and the urchin are in the classechinoidea and you would assume that there's notmuch in natural life that would want to eat a sanddollar or urchin, but some fish, including theflounder, like the dollars.

The collector shell, the Scotch bonnet, is alsoknown to dine on the urchins, along with tropical fishand birds.

(Capt. Mike Fuery has been showing residents andvisitors alike the ins and outs of shell collecting since1976. Call 472-3459 for information.)

Saltwater fishing license again before legislatureThe proposed saltwater fishing license is again

before the state legislature and it appears it willpass this year.

If you've been following this issue for the pastseveral years, you know that this tax to fish insaltwater would raise a great deal of money. Out-of-state anglers would be carrying a big portion of thatfee by paying $10 for a 10-day license or $25annually, while Florida residents would pay just $10yearly.

I've been in contact with Rep. J. Keith Arnold, oneof our local lawmakers in the state capital. He's sentme four different bills being considered for passage.Although things will change before a final bill isapproved, here, briefly, are the latest provisions:

A Florida resident could buy a "lifetime" licensefor $180, rather than the annual one. Small boatguides would pay a flat fee of $50 which would coverfishing customers from out-of-state who do not wantto buy a 10-day personal license. Even fishing pier

ON THEWATER

J By Capt. Mike Fuery

operators would be required to buy an annual licensefor $100.

There are a few exceptions to the, law for the usualreasons: persons under the age of 16, militarypersonnel on leave and fishing without a reel using acane pole. There is no exception, though, for thoseover the age of 65 as some other laws provide.

In theory, 45 percent of the monies collectedthrough the license will go to law enforcement, 23percent to research and fisheries and "not less than25 percent" to habitat restoration, artificial reefsand hatcheries. A small percentage will go to minor

projects.We certainly need to try and restore our fish,

expecially redfish, snook and tarpon. Hatcheries areexperimenting with reds and snook now. Part of the$50 tag fee you must pay to catch and keep a tarponalso goes to research.

I have personally opposed the license for yearsprimarily because I can't see the need for a little oldfella who fishes for an hour out of his vacation timeat Blind Pass having to pay 10 bucks for theprivilege.

Serious anglers are going to get the license, but Ihate to see 45 percent of my money going to amarine patrolman checking licenses on the fishingpier, while he could be out on the gulf grabbing thosewho are cheating on the grouper and mackerel laws.

Rep. Arnold has been very helpful keeping ourFishing Guide's Association informed on these bills.If you need more information, write him at 320 TheCapitol, Tallahassee, FL 32299-1300.

I will venture an unscientific guess that it also hasmuch to do with high speeds and less cautious drivingat those times.

Is this unhappy picture going to improve?Without some very signifcant changes in our driving

habits, certainly not. Island population is growing andalong with it, drivers on the road. The Chamber ofCommerce records show that in March 1988, thenumber of drivers coming onto the island was about300,000! For wildlife, that is a dreadful trend.

Can anything be done to reduce the road kill toll?Surely, very few residents or visitors would know-

ingly endanger our wild creatures. The first step mustinvolve hightening public awareness of the problem.The committee has performed a great service in this

regard. Its work should continue, its results bepublicized.

Appeals to observe speed limits and save islandwildlife should be made to visitors when they comehere. This might be done in literature given to visitorsby the Chamber of Commerce, hotels and placeswhere our visitors live and play.

Veenschoten suggests that wildlife crossing signslike the new alligator signs near the Wegryn Clinic willhelp. These, he suggests, should be supplemented withspeed reduction warnings and stern law enforcement.

Some drivers on our roads will not get, or hear, orpay attention to these appeals and warnings. Somewill be passing through; Sanibel's roads the same asany other. A bad few will have damn-all-in-my-path

determination to speed.For them, the only answer is a blue light — police

action and stiff fines, points on licenses, rocketing in-surance premiums. For them, the best message wouldcome from a well-earned reputation known toresidents, visitors and travellers-through: If youspeed on Sanibel, your are going to get nailed.

I wish to imply no criticism of the Sanibel police.They have increased speed enforcement activity com-mendably (as the much-publicized adventures of ourrecent big-spending visitor from Kansas has at-tested). Certainly, our police will do more in thatdirection if called upon.

Sanibel does not have jurisdiction to enforce traffictickets; state law gives this to county courts. Police of-ficers appearing in traffic cases must sacrifice perrsonal time or time away from regular duties to maketraffic case appearances on the mainland. Perhaps itis time to have enforcement activity on Sanibel, either

East Gulf Drive motelsset to move dumpsters

COUPON


Several East Gulf Drive motels areplanning to move their dumpsters inresponse to complaints that garbagetrucks block the road while picking upthe trash.

The management of the variousresorts were contacted last week bySanibel police officer John Terry in an

cort to resolve the problem.Sanibel Seaview and the Blue Heron

Motel told him they would move their

dumpsters to better locations.The Surfrider Beach Club told Terry

they were working on a plan to movetheir tennis courts, which would givethem a place to move their dumpster.

In a similar situation, the GalleryMotel said it was trying to get a zoningvariance to give it more room, whichwould enable it to move its dumpster.

Terry said the dumpsters at otherestablishments along East Gulf werefar enough from the road not to cause aproblem.

Concrete rubble and other island debris is being used are just two of the reasons why the city decided toto help fill in the Algiers lake adjacent to Gulfside City eliminate the lake.Park. Stagnant water and possible alligator problems

Algiers continued from page 10B

Price said he expects that when most of the lake isfilled in, the four foot long alligator living there willmove on by himself.

"We won't push anything on top of him," Priceassured. "He'll just up and leave."

The first alligator ordered killed under the city ofSanibel alligator program was in that lake. That gatorhad to be killed last August, Price said, because peo-ple kept feeding it and, when it was tranported awayfrom that area, it kept finding its way back. The oneeyed, seven foot alligator was known to city officialsas number 311.

It was primarily because of that incident that thedecision was made to fill the lake in, Price said.

Eliminating the lake will happen quiclky, Price

said, when Brazilian pepper is reftioved from alongroads in connection with the Sanibel Highlandsdrainage project. The pepper debris will be put in t1

lake at Algiers.The Highlands project is currently being held up by

the need for an easement, according to Price, who ad-ded, "hopefully it will not be too long."

The lake was created in 1958 in corrdination withLathrop and Helen Brown's moving the S.S. Algiers, a150-foot Mississippi river boat, onto their property tobe used as a home.

Later, the city acquired the property, had the boatdestroyed and turned the 30-acre site into a publicbeach.

In today's hand, South saw that he could win seveneasy tricks and decided to play for two additionaldiamonds. His only problem, he thought, was how toplay the diamonds for four tricks.

South took the first trick with dummy's ace ofspades, cashed the king of diamonds and continueddiamonds. When East played low, South looked up atthe ceiling and then rubbed his chin to give the impres-sion that he was thinking.

South then played the 10, losing to the jack. West ledanother spade and South next took the ace ofdiamonds. The queen didn't drop, and South's only re-

maining chance was to try a finesse in clubs in thehope that West had started with Q-x-x.

No such luck. East produced the queen of clubs,cashed the queen of diamonds and led a spade. Downtwo.

As you noticed, South misplayed the diamonds.South's best chance was to begin by taking the kingand ace.

If either opponent started with Q-x or J-x ofdiamonds, South can continue with the 10 to drive outthe missing honor. If no honor falls, South leads a third

diamond and makes his contract if the six missingdiamonds divide 3-3.

South might survive against Q-J-x-x of diamonds athis right by cashing the king and then finessing withthe ten, but this play is less likely to work than therecommended play.

After East has played low, on the second diamond,the only unseen diamonds are the Q-J-8. If West has allthree, South can do nothing. If West has two, any planwill work since the diamonds are then breaking 3-3.South knows that West is not void of diamonds since

East would put in the jack if he had started with Q-J-8-7-6.

South has a problem only if West now has one dia-mond left. That diamond may be the queen, the jack orthe eight. South gains by finessing if West's only re-maining diamond is the eight; but he gains by playingthe ace if West's remaining diamond is the queen orjack. Playing the ace wins twice as often as finessing.

So now you know how to play this kind of suit anddon't have to work it out at the table. But knowing howto play the diamonds is not as important as knowingwhen to play them.

At the second trick, as we have seen, the actualdeclarer led dummy's king of diamonds. This wouldbe correct if the contract would stand or fall on thediamonds or on a miracle in clubs. Actually, there wasan extra chance for the contract, and it would cosSouth nothing to try for it.

At the second trick, South should lead a low heartfrom dummy in the hope that East must play the kin,or queen. If South takes the ace of hearts without cap-turing an honor, he can then go after the diamonds.

As the cards were actually dealt in a recent tourna-ment, South would capture the king of hearts at the se-cond trick and could return a heart to finesse witheight (if West played low). South would bring in fiveheart tricks for a total of 11 easy tricks.

Actually, a careful declarer would get 12 tricks bytaking all of the hearts before working on the clubs ordiamonds. South would keep three diamonds and twoclubs in the closed hand, and two diamonds and threeclubs in the dummy. East would be unable to keepthree diamonds and also three clubs. East's lastdiscard would give South a 12th trick.

Dream Team'has humor to burnTHE DREAM TEAM

Directed by Howard ZieffStarring Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd

Peter Boyle and Stephen FurstPlaying at the Bell Tower West, Fort Myers

Rated PG.13 (profanity)

new film "The Dream Team," an offbeatcomedy with humor to burn, serves up fourpretty unlikely but very memorable movieheroes. It reaches into a Trenton, N.J., mentalhospital and plucks out a quartet of slightlypyschotic, completely likable inmates, settingthem loose in New York City.

The unifying element for these characters isthe group therapy sessions that they share.Michael Keaton ("Clean and Sober" and"Beetlejuice") is the centerpiece as Billy, a"walking time bomb" who specializes in violentepisodes.

Keaton is joined by Henry (Christopher Lloydof "Back to the Future") who poses as a staffpsychiatrist — a position he quite often believeshe holds. Rounding out the foursome are PeterBoyle ("Young Frankenstein") as JackMcDermott, a former ad agency executive witha Christ fixation, and Albert (Stephen Furst),the group catatonic.

Their therapist (Dennis Boutsikaris) thinksthat a simple little field trip to Yankee Stadiumis in order, but there's nothing simple about it.Shortly after their arrival, the doctor is a victimof a violent crime, is left for dead by theperpetrators and the group is left to its owndevices.

Ordering lunch could prove an insurmountableobstacle to any member of this quartet, and nowthey are faced with not only locating their leader

but also saving him from further harm.Keaton continues to establish himself as one of

the most exciting actors working in film today.He's a likable guy and his expressive featuresand highly charged performances are alwaysingratiating. Lorraine Bracco is also terrific asBilly's former girlfriend who finds herself fallingfor him all over again.

Lloyd is amusing as the compulsive "Dr.Demento" who tries to duty up New York Citysingle-handedly, but the big impression is madeby Boyle. His performance as McDermott showssubtle restraint while he displays a real flair forcomedy.

"The Dream Team" succeeds in part becausethe audience is able to establish a caringattitude for these fragile personalities. Theapproach may not be entirely credible, but itdoes give the audience an opportunity to followand applaud the characters progress.

Director Howard Zieff ("Private Benjamin")has the ample task of making a funny film aboutan unfunny subject, and he has managed to dojust that with "The Dream Team."

Mary Schultz, a Michigan native and five-yearSanibel resident, is The Islander's film critic.

FISH urges residents todonate blood for island bank

Friends In Service Here (FISH) supports the localorganizations which have sponsored the islands' bloodbank effort — the Sanibel-Captiva Lions, Kiwanis,Rotary and American Business Women's Association.

According to FISH officials, each donated blood unitadds a credit to the islands' blood bank account, whichis available, in case of need, to every island family aswell as to those who are employed on the islands.

With the ever-increasing demand on this vital asset,FISH has indicated that it is important for allresidents to be aware of the donation service andurges residents to participate for the common good —their own and their neighbors.

Officials indicate it takes only 20 to 30 minutes togive blood. For the donor's~safety and the protection ofthe blood supply, a brief "mini-physicaf' precedes theactual donation.
