Citizens, former mayorswant Earth Charterendorsement rescindedBy Pete BishopNews editor

Forty-two island residentsand five former Sanibel mayorshave signed a letter demandingthat City Council rescind itsendorsement of the EarthCharter and prohibit cityemployees and committeemembers from advocating thecontroversial document.

The "'Open Letter to Citizensof Sanibel," which appears as anadvertisement in this week'sIsland Reporter (see page 8), alsoasks that citizens who disagreewith the charter communicateIheir concerns U\council mem-bers and attend the Nov. 6 coun-cil meeting to support the letter.

Sanibel is the first city toendorse the Earth Charter, a glob-al initiative arising from the 1992Rio Earth Summit. The charterconsists of 16 ,'ienoal principle,acknowledging that "environ-mental protection, human rights,equitable human development,and peace are interdependent andindivisible."

DINGDAYS Janes: Counties need toprepare for bioterriorism

Michael Pistella"Ding" Days went off without a hitch. See page 12.

By Ron SympsonStaff writer

Preparing local governmentsfor bioterrorism is likely to top theagenda of next month's meeting ofthe National Association ofCounties' (NA.C0) HealthSteering Committee, according toLee County Commissioner Bob

:. Janes, who was recently appointedto the panel.

Janes, who served as chair-man of the committee during aprevious stint on a county com-mission, said health prioritieshave been turned upside-downsince the terrorist attacks ofSept. 11 in New York City andWashington, D.C.

"One of the first issues we'll betalking about is getting countyhealth departments prepared forbioterrorism," Janes said. "We'relooking at additional funding tohelp us beef up the capabilities ofhandling bioterforism."

One of the crucial concerns, hesaid, is a lack of local lab facilitiesto test for bioterrorist substances,and to provide testing for possiblevictims, Janes said, explaining,

"Anything that happens here theyhave to send up to Tampa and waitfor a couple of weeks."

NACO's health committee isone of 11- steering committeeswhich form the policy-makingarm of the national organiza-tion. Each committee is com-prised of 60 to 100 county offi-cials who meet several times ayear to examine issues criticalto county government. ,

The Health SteeringCommittee focuses on health-caredelivery and financing. Among thepanel's areas of responsibility areindigent: care; health care for theuninsured; Medicaid andMedicare; long-term care; publichealth programs; mental health;substance abuse; and developmen-tal disabilities.

The steering committee's rec-ommendations on legislative poli-cies and goals are presented toNACO's membership at its annualconference. If approved, the rec-ommendations become part of theAmerican County Platform,

PRESS RELEASE

Living with Alligators on SanibelAlligators and humans have shared the marshes, ponds and lakes of thesoutheastern United States for many centuries. Tragically, we have had afatal alligator attack on Sanibel, which has made us all revisit the publicsafety issues involved with co-existing with these magnificent beasts. Onthat truly horrible day, September 11th, one of the island's most impor-tant conservationists, Bob Steele, Chairman of the City's VegetationCommittee, was killed by an 11' alligator while walking his dog along theSanibel River. Bob was a man of great and kind character who helped savethousands of native trees on Sanibel from being destroyed during devel-opment. He is sorely missed. We have the opportunity now to renew oursense of awareness of this danger, and help us all better protect ouryoungsters, our pets and ourselves.

The most important thing to keep in mind regarding alligators is to watchout for children and pets near any freshwater body in Florida. Childrenshould never be allowed to stand or play at the edge of open water.Recreational activities such as freshwater fishing should be done onlyfrom an elevated dock or boat. Throwing a ball into a lake for a dog toretrieve, a harmless and enjoyable activity in the northern U.S., or walkinga dog along the water's edge, is asking for trouble down here. If your golfball rolls down into a water hazard while playing, leave it there.Swimming in any of our island inland waters or ponds, lakes and rivers,or such waterbodies anywhere else in Florida for that matter, is notadvised. Alligators normally feed on fish, turtles and wading birds but areparticularly attracted to dogs, even large breeds. This is because they fitanother of their instinctual prey types, which would more often be a rac-coon, opossum other small to medium-sized mammal.

There is no doubt that it is more challenging to live in harmony withsome of our wildlife neighbors than others. This barrier island is uniqueamong all others in south Florida in that it has over 1600 acres of interiorfreshwater wetlands along the Sanibel River. Add the numerous man-made ponds and "borrow lakes" built to get fill for housepads and subdi-visions and the brackish water creeks and impoundments of the 5300acre+ J.N, "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge and you have an abun-dance of alligator habitat supporting at least several hundred individuals.TSSot only would it be impossible to find and destroy them all, even if rheState would allow it, (which they would not), but such an endeavorwould produce a potentially deadly false sense of security.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is in charge ofmanaging the over 1 million alligators throughout the State. TheCommission's regulations protect wild alligators by law, but also allow forthe immediate destruction of aggressive or "nuisance" animals, using asystem of official trappers that are permitted to sell the meat and hides ofthe destroyed reptiles. The City of Sanibel has one of the most capablestate licensed alligator handling programs anywhere with a full 20 staffmembers, most of them m the Police Department, licensed for capturingalligators when needed. We can and regularly do capture and hold aggres-sive and large alligators for destruction by state trappers.

In the past year; 8 large alligators, including the animal involved in thefatal attack and a twelve-footer, were captured and killed on Sanibel underthis state licensed program. For the most part these were not, however,wild animals going about their normal behavior. Most had lost their fearof people due to being fed. The most dangerous aspect of human/alligatorinteraction is many people's intense desire to feed them. By providingfood to a wild gator, usually during a picnic lunch, these misguided indi-viduals train the fed animal to associate people with food and end up tam-ing them. This is a deadly combination that can have fatal consequences.It is a sad part of some people's nature that they persist in feeding alliga-tors even when they know full well it is illegal and dangerous to them-selves and others. The Sanibel Police cite anyone feeding alligators andthis can result in a $500 fine and 60 days in jail.

You can help us identify aggressive animals that have been fed by notingtheir behavior. Wild alligators, even big ones, fear man and will moveaway when approached. Fed animals will not move when approachedand may even move towards you, looking for a hand-out. If you noticeunusually aggressive or completely tame behavior in an alligator onSanibel, or to report someone feeding an alligator, immediately call theSanibel Police Department at #472-3111.

Alligators are fascinating and important parts of the natural freshwaterecosystems on Sanibel, but complacency and inattention In alligator habi-tat is dangerous. With awareness, citizen assistance with the City's alliga-tor handling program, and a healthy respect for this native Florida preda-tor, we can co-exist safely.

EAKXjlFrompageiproclamation last April, an Earth CharterCommittee has been formed as part of thecity's Shared Vision initiative, and Sanibelsponsored the document during a confer-ence of the Florida League of Cities,which subsequently endorsed the charteras well. In addition to the League ofCities, the National Council of Mayorsand the cities of Berkeley, Calif, andBurlington, Vt. have endorsed the charter,according the Sanibel Earth CharterCommittee Chair Ellis Robinson.

Although the initiative may be gainingmomentum around the country, the openletter to Sanibel citizens indicates it maybe facing a rough path on the island.Complaints in the letter include the EarthCharter's broad scope and what is terniedits "radical world politics," includingthree of the charter's principles promotingresponsible reproduction, the equitabledistribution of wealth and the demilita-rization of national security systems.

"This is an effort to project somethingthat is radical, global politics," said WallyKain, one of the former Sanibel mayorswho signed the open letter. "If citizens ofSanibel get the smallest sense of what isgoing on here, it's going to blow up."

"All you have to do is read it, it's way outof the realm of what our small city dealswith," said Jerry Muench, another formerSanibel mayor. "It seems unreasonablewhen you read the charter to give it a blan-ket okie-dokie . . . Just look at today's situ-ation. How can you talk about demilitariza-tion? It's pretty cut and dry and why theywon't bring that up is a mystery to me."

Other mayors who have signed the let-ter are Francis Bailey, Bob Davison andLenn Lorenson. Sanibel residents signinginclude Ruth Deuber and Jim Jennings.

"When you read the whole tiling, it putsthe government and the United States atrisk, the economic system totally at risk,"said Jennings, adding that parts of the char-ter are reminiscent of Karl Marx'sCommunist Manifesto. "I just don't thinkwe should have anything to do with th is . . .I thought it through and with my consciencethought that, as a council, they should notsay the city of Sanibel is endorsing this."

"I just felt it was a little broader spec-trum than it should be for Sanibel, particu-larly since the events of Sept. 11," saidDeuber. "It should be looked at again. Ifthe majority say it's okay, then that's fine."

Those who defend the city's involve-ment with the Earth Charter point out thatthe council endorsed the document unani-mously in April, and the proclamationdoing so states the city will "utilize thedocument in ways appropriate to Sanibel."The Earth Charter Committee has so farfocused on environmental conservationportions of the document, according tocommittee members, who have initiatedinvestigations into Sanibel issues such aselectricity conservation.

"The proclamation (endorsing the char-ter), and the Earth Charter itself, state thatendorsement is sort of tailored to eachendorsing organization or community,"said Robinson, who said the committee islooking" at aspects of the charter that fitideals contained in the Sanibel VisionStatement. "A community like Sanibel hasno ability to have an impact on otheraspects. . . We've acknowledged all alongthat some principles have higher prioritythan others. It's a global document thatacknowledges and respects the differentcultures that live and work and visit here,all those who hold a heart connection withthis beautiful sanctuary island."

"We really need to allay some fears,"committee member Sue Denham saidrecently. "It's more of a guiding principle,as to what we need to do with this world,because somebody broke it."

Endorsement process criticizedSome say the environmental aspects of

the document made it too easy to endorseby proclamation on April 17 — the samewegk-as Earth Day — and too easy for

- council members to overlook other parts ofthe charter.

"It's a Trojan horse," said Kain. "Thereare good environmental things in it thatalmost anybody would almost instinctive-ly think are good, but it is backing thingsthat, I think, would gag, really gag, nineout of 10 Sanibel citizens."

"The council didn't really know whatthey were doing when they endorsed the

Earth Charier forum Nov. 14A community forum meant to help

residents understand the origins and pur-poses of the Earth Charter and share indi-vidual ideas and opinions on how to uti-lize the document will be held Nov. 14 atthe Phillips Gallery of BIG Arts. Theforum will be from 7-9 p.m.

In addition to a special emphasis onthe world's environmental challenges,the Earth Charter also contains principlesrelated to social and economic justice,democracy and nonviolence. The charterwas approved in March 2000 and offi-cially launched at The Hague in June2000. The Sanibel City Council endorsedthe document last April.

"We are in a unique position onSanibel as ours was the first city in theUnited States to endorse the EarthCharter," said Ellis Robinson, chair ofthe Earth Charter Committee. "Thecommunity forum will give individuals,organizations and businesses on Sanibelan opportunity to respond to CityCouncil's endorsement and exploreways the Earth Charter can enhance oursanctuary island,"

thing," said Muench. "It's not right, it shouldhave never signed something like tha t . . . aproclamation is something that council allagrees on . . . this isn't really a no-brainer."

Councilmembers Marty Harrity andSteve Brown have asked at recent councilmeetings that the council rescind theendorsement, and indicated they agreedto endorse the document without fullyknowing what it contains.

Harrity and Brown lost one vote torescind the charter in early September,and have not been able to get another votesince because a council member whovoted not to rescind must make such amotion. Mayor Nola Theiss and councilmembers Dick Walsh and Judy Workmanhave declined to make that motion.

"I feel like we're getting the bum's rashon this," Brown said toward the end of thecouncil's last discussion of the charter,Oct. 2. Brown also noted that there wereother ways to get the endorsementrescinded. Neither Brown nor Harritysigned the letter objecting to the charter.

Theiss, Robinson and others believethe Earth Charter Committee's researchon the document plus a community forumNov. 14 will help ease fears that endorse-ment does not reflect the majority ofSanibel citizens, and give those opposingthe charter a chance to have their say.

"I hope they all attend the community"forum," Theiss said of residents whosigned the open letter. "It has been set upas a. venue to voice their concerns andlearn about the charter. I think the com-mittee has done a good job. It's the com-mittee's job to gather public feedback,they've committed to open discussion,and they're doing that."

Louise Johnson, another former mayorand a member of the Earth CharterCommittee, was asked to sign the open let-ter but would not. "My comment is I'msorry that they are bringing this matter up atthis time," Johnson said. "I think it wouldhave been better to wait until after the com-munity forum, where we might exchangeideas and find out what (the charter) mightmean for Sanibel. I was asked to sign (theletter), as a former mayor, but I did declinebecause I believe in the Earth Charter."

"The forum will be for citizens to learnmore about the Earth Charter and givetheir opinion on how they feel," saidRobinson, who added that copies of thecharter will soon be available for residentsat city hall and the Sanibel Library. "Theforum will give the rest of Sanibel anopportunity to identify where the chartercan enhance the Sanibel Vision, andmaybe give some people an opportunity 'tosay some parts don't apply."

Whether the forum will change mindsabout the document, and whether the openletter will sway council, remains to be seen.

"I'm glad to see that they're doing thispublic forum and getting as much input asthey're getting," said Workman. "'I aminclined at the moment to continue (thecouncil's) support as we stated it. I believeSanibel can take the Earth Charter and adaptit to our needs. I won't say I won't changemy vote, because I might, but I haven'theardanything that indicates we've done a danger-ous thing. I want to reserve judgement."

New signs meant* to save island wildlifeBy Anna LiakasStaff writer

The Wildlife Committe is going backto the 50s, to retrieve the old Burma Shavesign concept of installing a series of road-side signs that spell out a message and endin a powerful punchline. Instead of mar-keting the "brushless foam," however, thesigns are meant to save the lives ofwildlife along Sanibel-Captiva Road.

A series of four signs designed byDave Horton of the Sanibel Print Shopwill be placed one-tenth of a mile apart,provided the committee gets the finalokay from city council. Signs will depictcartoon versions of armadillos, opossums

and turtles — allcommon road-kill onthe island — saying" P l e a s e - S l o w -Down-For-Us" inEnglish, German,French and Spanish.

"There's no emotional response tothem," he said. "With these new signs, asyou're accelerating along San-Cap Roadyou're reminded four times to slow down.It would reduce the mortality rate."

According to CROW officials, most

of the injuries occur along this openstretch in the wee hours of the night,between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., when noctur-nal animals are on the prowl for an after-midnight snack. For this reason, thecommittee suggests that the eyes of "thecartoon animals glow in the dark, similarto their real counterparts.

"We decided that the signs should bemulti-lingual as well," Sobczak noted,"after Anita Pinder at CROW reminded usthat many of the employees at South Seasspeak only Spanish and that we havemany visitors here from German andFrench-speaking countries as well."

Sobczak comments that by conservingthe lands along this stretch of road, theisland has provided a large area of naturalhabitat for wildlife, with an unbrokenstretch of the J.N.

except for four issues, Pavelka explainedthat his revised plan would meet two ofthose exceptions: he and his partnersagreed to widen a hiking and bike traileasement connecting the commercialproperties from 15- to 25-feet, and healso agreed with the planning staff todeal with the future of a small portion ofParcel I, which lies in the Dunes subdivi-sion, when the church makes its develop-ment applications.

That left two items for Pavelka and thecommission to hammer out— densityallocation on the two back parcels and thelocation of an entry drive from Periwinkleto those properties.

At the previous meeting, planningdepartment staff members, a traffic con-sultant hired by the city, and NaturalResources Director Rob Loflin testifiedthat the entryway should be located atthe westernmost border of the westerncommercial property, both to maintainopen space on the western commercialparcel and for traffic safety reasons.Pavelka maintained the existing locationof the drive should be retained until thechurch's plans go through the commis-sion during that meeting, but suggestedthe plat show both alternatives until thechurch's plans are discussed duringTuesday's meeting.

"I can't arbitrarily move the entrywaybecause its under contract," said Pavelka."The church is open to resolving that withthe city, but I think its better lo to that dur-ing their review."

But Commission Chair Phyllis Bogenand Commissioner Dick Downes thoughtthe drive should be moved west immedi-ately.

"I very strongly feel that I would liketo work with the westernmost easement,just because of thetraffic," said Bogen.

"I don't under-stand the hesitation(to move the drive),"said Downes. "Sincethe church has madetheir plans, I don'tunderstand theirreluctance. What'sthe problem? Whynot do it now?"

The other unre-solved issue was theallocation of density on the two rearparcels. While Pavelka had amended his

group's request from 12 dwelling units to8 dwelling units on the smaller Parcel II,and from 13 dwelling units to 17 onParcel I, Ken Pfalzer, the city's assistantplanning director,said the new alloca-tion still did not con-form to the city'sdensity maps, whichallow 21 units onParcel I and fourunits on Parcel II.

Commiss ionerJack Samler saidthe subdivison ofthe back two parcelsand an allocation ofdensity would bebest dealt with when the church makesits applications, however.

"I'm not convinced we should subdi-vide Parcel I and Parcel II with any den-sities," said Samler. "I understand bysubdividing at this time, it protects andlocks in Parcel II separate from Parcel I,but I have not yet heard the density thechurch will take up. I do not want to sub-

divide the residen-tial parcel at thistime. I do not thinkit's appropriate."

Although otherc o m m i s s i o n e r sseemed to initiallyagree with Samler'sc o n t e n t i o n ,Commissioner DickDownes said theboard should onlyconsider the appli-cation as presented.

He moved the commission grant therequest, provided the entryway toPeriwinkle is moved to the western edgeof the west commercial property, andprovided density is allocated at 21 unitsfor Parcel I and four for Parcel II.

"Since this is the application submit-ted and the referendum is coining up,"said Downes, "I think its time we got thisthing off the dime. The density is inaccordance with the Sanibel Plan andmaps and, since allocation is in accor-dance, I see no basis to deny the request."

Only Samler voted against approvingthe request.

A day in the life of a mangrove forestBy Dawn deBoerStaff writer

Call Sanibel Island an old romantic,because it's all about relationships, fromits swampy mangrove forests to its tropi-cal sea meadow. It's aged well since itsprimary matchmaker first took root here3,000 years ago.

"The salinity of the bay was just rightthen for mangroves to settle in," saidSanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundationeducator, eco-tour guide, Richard Finkel.

With 65 percent of the island preserved,Sanibel's doing well compared to the restof Florida, Finkel said, with nearly 50 per-cent of its mangroves and sea grasses lostto development since the beginning of thecentury. This is the heart of the back baysystem where, in its womb-like enclosureof protected shallow waters, the estuarynurtures a nursery ground only a rain for-est can beat — it is the second richestecosystem on the planet.

Consider this: It's estimated 40 percentof commercial fish, and up to 90 percentof sport fish, depend on the shallow, inter-coastal bay waters here during some partof their life cycle. Scientists also estimateup to 45 percent of all organic matter hereis the result of the estuary's food chainproducers. Mangroves, one of the bay'sfour major producers, drop about 7,000pounds of mangrove leaves per acre in thewater every year.

"The bulk of mangrove swamps is leafand vegetation litter, which all decays anddecomposes," Finkel said. "Fungi andbacteria, micro-organisms, limatodes andprotozoa cover this vegetation like icing— all protein which converts to a higher,more usable form of energy," he said.

In food chains and food webs, this ishow energy stored up in the leaves of themangroves and sea grasses and algae gets

passed along to the next m line."Grazing on this organic soup, resting

on the mud flats and oyster bars or beds,high in nutrients, high in organic matter,are the consumers," Fmkle said, "thesmall animals that live in the mud of thisorganic soup "

First the lowly mud crabs, blue crabs,pink shrimp, small fish, snails and clams,then the higher consumers — at low tide, thewading birds, at high tide, tarpon, sharks,snook, redfish, sheep's head, sea trout,groupers, flounder, shark, manatee, dolphin.

"Talk about the food chain here, andyou talk about the leaf littei of man-groves," Fmkel said. "You name it, andthis is what they're feeding on."

An estuary is the second richest ecosys-tem on the planet, because food chain pio-duceis like the plants of the bay's tropicalsea meadow — the mangroves, turtle giass,manatee grass, shoal grass, sea grass, seaweed, plankton, green and brown algae ofwhich more than 300 varieties — thrive inshallow, protected waters

"The tides carry nutrients in millions ofmicroscopic plants and animals free-float-ing in the water," Finkel said. "It's estimat-ed 65 percent of the Earth's oxygen is pro-duced by the microscopic plants in theworld's oceans performing photosynthesis."

In the food chain, plants produce, ani-mals eat. Animal consumers are few in theback bay, outside of green sea turtles,some grass-grazing fish and manatees,which take in 100 pounds of vegetationdaily on average. On land, while hard tosee, consumers are mangrove treePeriwinkle snails and mangrove treecrabs, no bigger than a half-dollar, cater-pillars, box turtles and gopher tortoises.

"When you talk about food chains,you're really talking about transfers ofenergy from one organism to another, andhow they fit together," Finkel said. Food

Historical Village about to open for seasonAn amazing array of period maps dat-

ing as far back as the 1500s will greet vis-itors to Sanibel's Historical Village andMuseum when it opens for the new seasonWednesday. Featuring the eastern UnitedStates generally and Florida specifically,the early cartographers showed surprisingaccuracy in outlining land masses andbodies of water that rimmed them.

Juan Ponce de Leon was the firstEuropean explorer to have touchedSouthwest Florida, in 1513, and it isknown that he came twice. He died inCuba following his second trip, an attemptat colonization at Punta Rassa. WhenNative Americans objected, a battleensued, Ponce de Leon was mortallywounded and the would-be colonists fled.

Milbrey Rushworth, who oversees theexhibits, has arranged a vast display of sub-sequent maps of the southeastern part of thecontinent as it developed over the yearsunder the flags of five different nations.

This is an exhibit tuned to the casualobserver as well as the student of history.Its aim is to show the viewer who washere before us and how the land was used.

All five buildings within the HistoricalVillage are authentic period pieces furnishedto depict life in the early decades of the1900s, when pioneers were able to home-

chains start with the producers, the plants,he said, and in the back bay estuary sys-tem there are four major producers.Mangroves are one of them.

Named after the color of tannm acidproduced in their leaves, bark and roots,mangrove trees are red, white and black.They dominate 70 percent of the tropicalcoast. Southwest Florida harbors all threespecies because tropical and temperatelatitudes overlap here.

"Mangrove forests never cease to amazeme in both their form and their function.It's like walking into a church," Finkel saidof their artistic ways of rooting.

In a natural selection of territory, thereds tend to be on the front line, growingalong the waterline or in the water, theirarching root systems the answer to tidalvariations. Next grow the blacks, thewhites further inland. In a mangrove for-est, the three intermingle.

To be a mangrove, the tree must have amethod to send oxygen from above thewaterline to its root system and have away of separating the salt from the water,Finkle said. The red mangrove has a mem-

brane in its root system that prohibits saltintake. Black and white mangioves take insalt, but can dispose of it.

Black mangrove loots canvas the sur-rounding water's surface with pencil-likeshoots near two feet high, breathing abovewater like cypress tree knees wading highin swamps. White mangroves do not havea specialized root system like the red orblack, but typically grow inland beyondthe high tide line. Its roots come out of thewater, similar to cottonwood trees, itsleaves housing two, node-like glandsthrough which salt secretes

These seedlings fall into thewater to be carried by the tide, horizontal-ly at first until waterlogged, then sinkingto a vertical but still floating position.Even waterlogged, they are viable for upto a year or more, Finkel said.

Don't sell America short: How majorevents have affected the stock market

Americans have a longtradition of rallying frominitial setbacks; so, too,does the stock market. Acloser look at some keyevents may provide a clear-er pictuie of the remarkableresilience of our nation andour markets.

Pearl Harbor The sur-prise attack on U.S navalforces at Pearl Haibor wasthe most devastating attackever launched againstAmerica — until Sept. 11,2001. News of the attackcaused a large, one-daydecline when the stockmarket opened on Monday,Dec. 8, 1941. The sellingcontinued into the nextday.

By Friday, Dec. 11, fourdays after the attack, the market managedto rally and closed the day with a gain ofalmost 2 percent on the S&P 500. Withina few weeks, the maiket had regainedmost of the ground it lost on Dec. 8.

However, at the time of the attack, theU.S. stock market was abeady in a cyclicaldownturn because of economic overheatingand inflation caused by the war in Europe.The first few months of the war went badlyfor the allies, and the stock market resumedits decline. But the downturn ended in April1942 and the market began a strong recov-ery. By the fall of 1942, less than a yearafter the attack on Pearl Harbor, the markethad regained all the ground it lost since thebeginning of the war.

The Kennedy Assassination Theassassination of President John F.Kennedy in November 1963 certainlyranks as one of the darkest days in

John W. Steakley Jr.

American political history.At the time, many feared thepresident's murder was aprelude to foreign attack orwould lead to nuclear warwith the Soviet Union.

Reflecting these fears,the Dow fell almost 3 per-cent on Friday, Nov. 22, asthe news from Dallasspread. The market wasclosed the next Monday foithe president's funeral. Bythe time it reopened the nextday, the worst of the fearshad eased. The market lal-l i e d s n a r P l v on Nov. 26,with the Dow rising 4.5 per-"cent Strong economicgrowth, fueled in part by thelate president's tax-cuttingpolicies, caused the marketto rise more than 25 percent

in the year following the assassination.1987 Stock Market Crash The 1987

stock market crash was not an act of waror political violence, but it certainly wastraumatic for those who lived through it.After the market suffered its biggest one-day decline ever on Monday, Oct. 19 ofthat year, many investors believed a totalcollapse of the global financial systemwas in the making.

However, Tuesday, Oct 20, saw thestart of a two-day rally that reversed morethan half of the loss suffered by the Dowthe previous day.

The market later suffered severalrelapses, and its recovery was held back byfears the crash would lead to an economicslump. But the much-feared recessionnever materialized. By the anniversary of"Black Monday" in 1988, the Dow hadrisen almost 23 percent since the crash.

Desert Storm For the United States,the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf was not anational tragedy, but rather a smashing vic-tory over Saddam Hussein's aggiession.

But that's not how it looked at the endof 1990. As the threat of war diew closer,many investors feared an allied invasionof Kuwait would be a bloody fiasco, orsend oil prices into the stratosphere.

When the U.S. issued an ultimatum toSaddam shortly before Christmas, order-ing him to leave Kuwait or suffei the con-sequences, the markets reacted badly. Inthe first few days of 1991, the Dowdropped sharply. But when the air waractually staited on Jan. 17, the market tal-lied, as it became clear the allies haddelivered a crushing blow. The rally con-tinued in 1991, as victory in Kuwait wasfollowed by a slow recovery from the1990-91 recession. The Dow rose morethan 24 percent in the year following thelaunch of Desert Storm.

In the heat of the current moment,investors would be well advised not to selltheir country short. Time and again, theU.S. economy and financial markets havedemonstrated their impressive powers ofrecovery.

As terrible a blow as Sept. 11 was toAmenca, its direct impact on a $10 tril-lion economy was actually quite small.To the extent the terrorists hoped to deliv-er a crushing blow to the U.S. marketsand the U.S. financial system, they havefailed utterly. America is still open forbusiness.

Association ofRealtors joinsrecycling program

Sanibel and Captiva Islands'Association of Realtors is moving foi-ward to help the woild's environment andthe islands' environmental reputation withwhat its members hope will become andisland-wide effort to recycle office paper.

Priscilla Murphy Realty, South SeasSanibel and Captiva Properties andRealtor Association affiliate memberWrite Impressions started the office paperrecycling program this summer throughtheir work with the association's PublicRelations and CommunicationsCommittee.

Each office received a recycling totefor office paper, although "tote" is some-what of a misnomer because it holds near-ly 100 gallons. For a cost of $11.90 permonth, Florida Recycling trucks emptythe totes weekly. Businesses can recycleall office paper and envelopes regardlessof color.

Bill Schumacher, of South SeasSanibel and Captiva Properties, was thefirst committee member to get his officeto join the recycling program, followedclosely by Susan Dunn, who spearheadedthe drive at the Priscilla Muiphy office onPeriwinkle Way.

"We were one of the first," Schumachersaid. "We got our tote in July, we like itvery much and are really pleased with thewhole project. It helps our office becausewe do generate a lot of paper. However, wefound we don't have enough to have itemptied on a weekly basis, so FloridaRecycling is picking ours up monthly."

The real work for his office, Schumachersaid, is getting personnel to separate theiroffice paper from the regular office garbageand take it to the recycling tote.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF SANIBEL

The Sanibel City Council has involved our City in radical world politicsby endorsing the Earth Charter.This action cannot stand.

At the urging of Mayor NolaTheiss on April 17,2001, the Sanibel CityCouncil proclaimed endorsement of the Earth Charter. Sanibel is the first (and atthis writing, only) city in the United States to do so.When Council MembersSteve Brown and Marty Harrity discovered the full nature of the Charter, theymade repeated efforts to rescind this ill-considered endorsement but wererebuffed by Council Members NolaTheiss, Dick Walsh, and Judy Workman.

Indeed, adding insult to injury, on September 29,2001, two weeks afterSeptember 11, Mayor Theiss participated in "The First Annual Earth CharterCommunity Summits" held at the University of Tampa. She led a workshop enti-tled "Mayor NolaTheiss of Sanibel, FL (first city in the U.S. to" endorse the EarthCharter)".

What is the Earth Charter? It consists of 16 major principles, many ofwhich deal with global, social and environmental issues arguably not in conflictwith Sanibel's. Vision Statement. But the Charter goes wildly beyond that.

Some examples from the Earth Charter *:

7. c. Ensure universal access to health care that fostersreproductive health and responsible reproduction.

10. a. Promote the equitable distribution of wealthwithin nations and among nations.

Is. Enhance the intellectual, financial, technical, and socialresources of developing nations, and relieve them ofonerous international debt.

16. c. Demilitarize national security systems to the level of anon-provacative defense posture, and convert militaryresources to peaceful purposes including ecologicalrestoration.

d. Eliminate nuclear, biological, and toxic weapons andother "weapons of mass destruction.

1 The entire text of the Charter and collateral documentsmay be found at www.earthchaarter.org\!

Do the Council members that support the Earth Charter purport tospeak for Sanibel on such matters as reproductive guidelines, equitabledistribution of wealth, international debt forgiveness, and military preparedness?Are these matters for Sanibel city government? Did Council notify the Sanibelpublic before maintaining such a radical stand in its name? After September 11,when we are at war- as our troops go in harm's way, who on Council supportsdemilitarization and disarmament?

We, the undersigned, request:

THAT, the Council, by resolution on November 6,2001 rescind theproclamation by which the Earth Charter was encdorsed.

THAT, in the same resolution, Mayor Theiss, all other Council Members,members of City Government and City committees be required to ceaseimmediately any endorsement or adovcacy, as a representative of the City, forEarth Charter.

And Encourage:

Those Citizens who agree with this request TO COMMUNICATE theirviews to the Sanibel City Council, by mail at 800 Dunlop Road, Sanibel, FL 33957,by fax at (941) 472-3065, or by e-mail at [email protected]\. Also,TOSUPPORT this resolution at the City Council Meeting at 10:00a.m. on November6,2001, at MacKenzie Hall.

Learning Cottage sisters set tocreate home environment for kidsBy Ron SympsonStaff Writer

If there's a paradise for preschoolers, itmay lie inside the bright-green exteriorwalls of the Learning Cottage of Sanibel.Operated by sisters and long-time Sanibelresidents Lynn and Susan Evans, the pri-vate preschool opens for its first sessionon Nov. 1.

"We are going to provide a lot of loveand attention to details for childien to bein an environment as close to home aspossible," explained Susan, who willsupervise care and activities for infants toage 2. "We want parents to feel really safewhen they go off to work."

Located in a building on Sanibel's eastend formerly occupied by the MontessoriSchool, the 1,200-square-foot facility hasbeen completely refurbished, with new tile,carpets, appliances and tons of kid-friendlygames, puzzles and sensory supplies.

"Our goal is to provide the childrenwith experiences in art, nature andmusic," Susan said. "It's so crucial to havethat joy."

The Evans sisters took over the build-ing on Aug. 1, and with the help of artistLori Kiiihlancn, carpenter Greg Noon andlandscape designer Todcl Schmitt, havetransformed the structure into a sparklingnew facility.

Though the preschool is licensed for30 children, initial plans call for a maxi-mum of four intants and 10 toddlers. "Wewould love nothing more than having anmiaul stay here until they're ready forSanibel Elementary," Susan said.

Lynn Evans, who has taught preschooland elementary classes at the CanterburySchool and others, as well as providedhome-schooling in Captiva, will be over-

"I want our 3- to 5-year-olds to getready for kindergarten," she said. "I'm notpushing education, but if they're willingto learn, I'm ready to help them. Childrenare natural learners; everything happensbetween 0 and 5."

Along with immersion in music and sen-sory activities, the preschoolers will haveoutside time each day, during which theylisten to birds and watch butterflies dartalong the plants in the butterfly garden.

"I'd like to see miraculous smiles,"said Susan.

The preschool will be open seven daysa week with both day and evening sched-ules, and is located at 414 Lagoon Drive.Information is available at 472-8815.

And while the Evans sisters are apply-ing finishing touches to the LearningCottage, they are looking forward withexcitement to their first class of infantsand toddlers.

RECYCLING From page 6

"We don't have a special place at eachdesk to put the paper," he said. "Each indi-vidual has to walk over and put their officepaper in the bin, but it is going well."

Caren Herman, of Write Impressions,said she only generates enough paper tofill the tote once a month as well, so shehad hers placed at her husband MarkHerschede's Gem Essence shop in theTree Tops Center. Every one in thePeriwinkle Way plaza can now use thetote on a weekly basis,

So far, the tote has been welcome, part-ly because recycling is the right thing todo, and partly because the tote helps keepthe regular trash Dumpster free for realgarbage, Herschede said.

Herman said she hopes the businessesin Tree Tops will eventually chip* in a fewdollars to help pay for the tote, but regard-less of financial help the tote is a welcomerelief and the cost miniscule.

"I produce several monthly newslettersand a color newspaper, so page copies

used to fill my trash bin," she said. "I feltbad about throwing so much paper away.I keep most of it and print on the secondside, but after that there was nothing elseto do but throw it away. Not anymore."

One of the most enthusiastic support-ers of the project at Tree Tops is IslandVacations of Sanibel and Captiva.

"Our office generates a lot of paper, andalthough we 'recycle' and use both sides ofour paper now, it's nice to know it can nowbe 'recycled' again," said Island Vacations'Fran Peters, who began using the tote assoon as it appeared and has offered to helppay a portion of its monthly cost.

The Association of Realtors hopes tohave every island real estate office onlinesoon, and hopes the process will spreadto every business on the island, saidCathy Gerasin, chairman of the associa-tion's Public Relations andCommunications Committee. To join theprogram, call 332-8500.

run the risk of losing their driver's license.H The first is, easy and obvious for bikers: cross over

heavily traveled Periwinkle Way only at the designatedcrossings. Even for experienced Sanibel drivers, suddenstops at non-designated crossings invite trouble, in that alurching stop for a biker may cause burnt rubber orbumper bending from following cars.

• For bikers crossing even at the designated cross-ings, look at the car behind the car stopping for you;they may be strangers enjoying the scenery and fre-quently will take their eyes off the car in front of them.They may slain into the stopping car — and maybeeven the biker. This nearly has happened to me on threeseparate occasions.

• Again for bikers, even when you have the right-of-way at the crossings or the entrance to our many shop-ping areas,.give way to the car trying to make a turn oran entry in heavy traffic; it reduces traffic congestion andis simple courtesy. I've often said, our island's sloganshould be, "If you're in a hurry, you don't belong here."For that matter, drivers could reduce traffic tie-ups onPeriwinkle by 20 to 30 percent by yielding to cars tryingto make a turn into or out of the shopping areas. It costsyou absolutely no time whatsoever,

H Speaking of our five shopping islands onPeriwinkle, for drivers it's nearly impossible to look bothways for bikers, while at the same time entering safelyinto the traffic flow on Periwinkle. The vegetation andtrees at three of the centers, though not at Bailey's orJerry's, makes this extremely hazardous for biker anddriver alike,

The painfully obvious solution? Large, round mirrorsat the entry points to the bike path. A few of our privateresidences with hidden driveways already have set agood example. I will split the cost with merchants atTahitian Gardens, if they will install these mirrors. I willconsider it a better life insurance policy payment thanthe one I am paying for.

• We all know that native, mature, large trees, vege-tation, landscaping and planted trees are the primaryproblem, especially on Periwinkle,-West Gulf and San-Cap, but the older trees should, and do, have Squattersrights. There are ample local regulations against man-made blind entrances, but they are unevenly arid weaklyenforced. Again, mirrors and radical landscape surgeryare the only answers. Here we're rolling the dice, for it'smerely a question of "when," not "if' the.next seriousaccident or fatality occurs.

Despite all the dangers listed above, the truly amazingthing is that so few accidents actually do occur here. Itsort of reminds me of the most dangerous airportapproaches in the United States (San Diego andWashington's National — notice I don't call it ReaganNational — he would have hated it). As with the airlinepilots who fly into D.C. and San Diego, as well as thecontrollers who direct airline traffic, it's a tribute to theskill of our drivers and bikers, and the strictly enforcedspeed limits by our superb, world-class Sanibel police.

Nonetheless, we can and must do better. Cutting backthe vegetation and landscaping at driveway entrancesand shopping areas, plus installing mirrors at the entry-ways to bike paths, would be a low-cost, good begin-ning And, let's just do it ourselves, without waiting sev-eral months or years for the city to do it for us. Let's notlet this become another event-driven reaction.

.ef tenEarth Charter an inspiring documentTo the editor:

I would like to recommend to the citizens of Sanibelthat they familiarize themselves with the Earth Charterdocument to which our Council has twice given theirendorsement, but now is creating dissension amongCouncil members.

This is a far reaching, creative work that speaks to theneeds and aspirations.of all people and cultures on theearth. Sanibel has its Vision Statement to give us guid-ance and goals to which we can aspire, and the EarthCharter is a "Vision Statement" for our battered world. Itis an all-encompassing paper of lofty aims and, given thediversity of the world's people, not all of it is appropriate

to any one place or culture, but its overall message is oneof a vision of a just, sustainable and peaceful world.

Sanibel has the honor of being the first city in thiscountry to endorse the Earth Charter. Tampa and manyothers have since followed, as well as the Organization ofAmerican Mayors and the Florida League ofMunicipalities.

I believe that this is an important, soul-stretchingwork, and 1 endorse it. I am sorry it is causing dissensionamong Council members. I consider it an inspiring, mar-velous document worthy of our support. I hope each ofus will study it and back the Council member majoritywho fortunately favor it.

State planners convene on SanibelThe following news items are taken from-the pages of

the Island Reporter over the past 25 years.

25 years ago,Oct. 22, 1976

Sixty Florida planners convened on Sanibel Fridayand received a first-hand history and explanation of theisland's incorporation and land use plan from Mayor.Porter Goss and former Planning Commission ChairmanDuane White.

"We have a land use plan now," Goss told plannersattending the quarterly Florida conference of theAmerican Institute of Planners, held at Casa Ybel Report."We also have six lawsuits, several worn out plannersand some exhausted city councilmen and planning com-missioners."

Recounting the chain of events that led to incorpora-tion, Goss said Sanibel became an "alternative to theCaribbean" in the early 1970s and began growing with"no thought to public health, safety or welfare." The typeand location of condominiums, the diminishing supply ofpotable water, backed up sewers, crime, traffic jams anddestruction of natural vegetation by salt water intrusionnumbered among the concerns that led islanders to breakwith the county, said Goss.

White, a former planning commissioner, outlined theprocess involved in formulating Sanibel's- land use plan.

"Without incorporation," White emphasized, "Sanibelwould not have had a meaningful land use plan."

White said the island would have become nothing but"a tourist mecca and a concrete jungle." Throughout hispresentation, White stressed the important role played bycitizen-staffed task forces.

20 years ago,Oct. 22, 1981City reaffirms four-ianing support

Sanibel City Council is to stand by its endorsement ofLee County's plan to four-lane McGregor from the tollbooth and Shell Point Road, despite denial of the permitby the State Department of Environmental Regulation.

The DER blocked work last month because they felt itwould result in the destruction of mangroves, cause long-term adverse effect on water quality and destroy marinelife and habitat.

While sympathetic-to DER's feeling, Sanibel council-men were, in the main, anxious for the four-laning to goahead as a valuable emergency evacuation route forislanders.

15 years ago,Oct. 23, 1986Sanibel agrees to alligator guidelines

Sanibel City Council approved a letter to FloridaGame and Fresh Water Fish Commission in which itagrees to the conditions set by the commission forSanibel's continued self-management of its nuisance alli-gator control program.

By consensus Tuesday, councilmen affirmed therequirements which include relocation of alligators onlyon the island, licensing of new handlers by the commis-sion, destruction of alligators that injure humans andapproved holding facilities for those animals awaitingrelocation. •

10 years ago,Oct. 25,1991Refuge seeks control of Tarpon Bay

The J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge is asking thestate of Florida for management control of Tarpon Bayand the bay bottoms.

At last Thursday's meeting of the "Ding" DarlingConservation Council, Refuge Manager Lou Hinds saidhe applied for management authorization to the FloridaDepartment of Natural Resources last month.

"This will give the refuge total control of Tarpon Bay,"Hinds said. According to Hinds, the refuge will dictateidle speed zones to boaters to protect manatees. Thespeed zones will also prohibit wave runners and waterskiers in the approximately 600 acres of bay.

Virus Corrupts School Council Collaboration

By Steven Radahovic andBrett ShannonEighth Grade Reporters

On September 28th avirus was discoveied in amiddle school classroomat The Sanibel School. Itwas downloaded off of theInternet. The Nimda.exevirus replicates every tendays and is spread by theopening of e-mail files onthe school's computer net-work. It wiped out all thetiles on the student serverand infected the applica-tions. Everything from theAccelerated Reader pro-giam to the Windowsoperating system was lost.

Two people fromdowntown helpedTechnology SpecialistTrish Herman in extract-ing the virus. They had togo from computer to com-puter to update the virusprotection and run a fixn-imda program. It took oneweek to fix the system,and now Mrs. Hermansays that everything isback to normal. She lost aserver and all the AR teststhat students have takenthis year are gone.

The virus was tracedback to middle school, butno one knows whobrought it to Sanibel.Whoever is responsible

most likely downloadedthe virus without knowingit. Computer security has

been tightened, and no oneis allowed to bring disksfrom home to school.

Palm trees can bring the tropics to small yardsI love palm trees. Their very existence

in a landscape seems to shout out,"Welcome to the tropics!" And while thecoconut, royal and sabalpalms are the picture-post-card symbols we associatewith Florida, there aredozens of other speciesfrom which to choose. Butif you have a small yard, thechoices are much more lim-ited, so before you rush outand plunk down your hard-earned greenbacks on somepalm trees, take a couple ofhours to plan for their rolein your landscape.

Get some graph paperand draw in the areas ofyour yard available forplanting. Draw in theboundaries to scale andmake sure to include sidesof buildings, streets andnearby plants. And note theexistence of overhead andunderground utility lines. Then jot down alist of the types of palms you think you

might like in your yard, noting the heightand width of each tree at maturity. Cut outcircles of colored paper with diameters

that represent the full-grownsize of the tree. Write themature height on the circle.

Space limitations areboth upward and outward.As a general rule, do notcenter even the smallest ofpalm trees any closer than 4to 6 feet from a building.And don't plant any treethat is going to exceed 15feet in height under a utilityline. With that in mind,place the circles on the scaledrawing of your landscape,moving them around untilyou find the proper place-ment. Here are some palmssuitable for planting inSouth Florida that require aminimum of space:

• Chinese fan palm (Livistona chinen-sis) — This Chinese native has a moderategrowth rate which will produce a matureheight of about 25 feet and a canopy of 12feet. It does best when planted in partialshade. Drought resistance, excellent; salttolerance, poor to fair.

• European fan palm (Chamaeropshumilis) — This extremely hardy palmtree is native to the countries of southernEurope and grows very slowly to about 10feet with an 8-foot crown width. It can beplanted in sun or shade. Drought resis-tance, moderate; salt tolerance, fair.

B Licuala palm (Licuala grandis) —This beautiful dwarf fan palm comes to usfrom New Britain Island, Papua NewGuinea. It requires dense shade and richsoil. Mature dimensions are 8 feet by 8feet. Drought resistance, excellent; no salttolerance.

• Manila palm (Veitchia merrillli) —

Its slendertrunk reaches 25 feet high and its frondcrown 10 feet wide. Plant in partialshade or full sun. It has been a victim oflethal yellowing_on Florida's east coast.Drought resistance, excellent; salt toler-ance, moderate.

Deadly smallpox led to development of vaccinesThough no reports of smallpox have

surfaced in the weeks following the ter-rorist activities, health officials are quiteconcerned about this deadly virus whichwas thought to have been eradicated.

I went surfing for information onsmallpox, and found several sites on theInternet. The two best websites are oper-ated by national health organizationsfunded by the United States government.

H Centers for Disease Control. Thisnational research facility hosts a website at<http://www.bt.cdc.gov/>. Along with adearth of technical medical information, thesite provides some good basic backgroundon small pox. Here are some excerpts.

"Smallpox is caused by variola virus.The incubation period is about 12 daysfollowing exposure. Initial symptomsinclude high fever, fatigue, and head andback aches. A characteristic rash, mostprominent on the face, arms, and legs, fol-lows in two to three days.

"The rash starts with fiat red lesionsthat evolve at the same rate. Lesionsbecome pus-filled and begin to crust earlyin the second week. Scabs develop andthen separate and. fall off after about threeto four weeks. The majority of patientswith smallpox recover, but death occurs inup to 30 percent of cases.

"Smallpox is spread from one person toanother by infected saliva droplets thatexpose a susceptible person having face-to-face contact with the ill person. Persons

©m fflto©- Wwith smallpox are most infectious duringthe first week of illness, because that iswhen the largest amount of virus is presentin saliva. However, some risk of transmis-sion lasts until all scabs have fallen off.

"Routine vaccination against smallpoxended in 1972. The level of immunity, ifany, among persons who were vaccinatedbefore 1972 is uncertain; therefore, thesepersons are assumed to he susceptible."

H National Institute of Health —-Another national facility, this organiza-tion's website is located at<www.nih.gov/healtli/>. In a passage onthe evolution of vaccines, we find some his-torical perspective on trie isolation of thesmallpox vaccine. Here are some excerpts:

"Over 200 years ago, English physi-cian Edward Jenner observed that milk-maids stricken with a viral disease calledcowpox were rarely victims of a similardisease, smallpox. This observation led to

. the development of the first vaccine."In an experiment that was to prove a

revelation, Jenner took a few drops offluid from a pustule of a woman who hadcowpox and injected the fluid into ahealthy young boy who had never hadcowpox or smallpox. Six weeks later,

Jenner injected the boy with fluid from asmallpox pustule, but the boy remainedfree of the dreaded smallpox.

"In those days, a million people diedfrom smallpox each year in Europe alone,most of them children. Those who sur-vived were often left with grim remindersof their ordeals: blindness, deep scars, anddeformities.

"When Jenner laid the foundation formodern vaccines in 1796, he started on acourse that would ease the suffering ofpeople around the world for centuries tocome. By the beginning of the 20th centu-ry, vaccines for rabies, diphtheria, typhoidlever, and plague were in use, in additionto the vaccine for smallpox. By 1980, anupdated version of Jenner's vaccine led tothe total eradication of smallpox."

Ding' Darling Days full of fun for alBy Anna LiakasStaff writer

Jay Norwood Darling would have considered himselfto be a "lucky duck" had he been alive to witness the fes-tivities held in honot of his birthday at the wildlife refugethis past Saturday.

For it was ducks that led the way, as the famed water-fowl from the Peabody Hotel in Orlando kicked off theday's events with a waddle and a quack down the red car-pet to the marching music of John Phillip Sousa and theguiding cane ot tuuner Mark Hircheit.

The ducks, or rather their ancestois, became celebri-ties back in the early 1930s, when the manager of thePeabody Hotel in Memphis, upon returning from a hunt-ing trip in Arkansas with some buddies, snuck someEnglish call ducks into the hotel lobby fountain. Asguests lose for tea the next morning, they were delightedby the tiny quackers they found bobbing about in thefoyei and a tradition of web-footed marching began, adaily ritual which continues to this day as the mallardsexit theii penthouse suite high above on the hotel roofprecisely at 11 a.m., commence onto the hotel elevatorescorted by their trainer, and proceed down through thelobby and across the red carpet for their daily dip into thecrystalline waters of an Italian marble fountain.

Ironically, it was also in the 1930s that "Ding" Darlingfounded the Federal Duck Stamp Program, whichrequires all waterfowl hunters over the age of 16 to pur-chase a stamp in lieu of a license, the proceeds aimed atgernerating funds to acquire and preserve habitat for avaiiety of native wildlife.

Artist Bob Hautman, winner of this year's FederalDuck Stamp Contest, was present at Saturday's eventalong with David Allen Sibley, author and illustrator of theNational Audobon Society's The Sibley Guide To Birds.

For the day's festivities the asphalt parking lot of therefuge was transformed into an outdoor educationalarena for both young and old, where some informationalbooths shared tips on wildlife conservation, others withinteractive games piovided an opportunity to learn aboutthe environment, and still others displayed maps andphotographs encouraging visitors to explore variousFlorida federal wildlife preserves.

Hands on was the theme everywhere, as small visitorssloshed flaming pink paint onto the roots of a mural cov-ered with mangrove trees and taller visitors painted in theoutlines of egrets up above. At an adjoining table, chub-by manatees took foim under tiny fingers that pushedand prodded white cotton batten into dusty black nylonstockings, bound fleshy forelimbs with elastic bands,markered soulful faces with eyes and whiskers and sta-pled onthe flat cardboard tails.

Nearby, small cheeks flushed by the late morning heatweie o/leied willingly into the hands of volunlecis,where they were tendeily adorned with butterflies andrainbows and roseatte spoonbills.

There weie tables displaying rough-skinned cypress kneesand scampering oriental civets, basins of sand in which topi ess plaster of pans footprints, and a delicate nine armedluida from Foit Myeis Beach, frozen in its glass casing.

Peihaps the table most reminiscent of a Ding Darlingeditorial cartoon was the stunning display of illegalgoods confiscated by the U.S. Fish and WildlifeDepartment, including a striking tortoise shell ceremoni-al shield carved with Chinese dragons, a wrinkled gray

trinket box made from the entire foot of an elephant, andtwo strapped handbags — one made from an alligatorand the other from an endangered frog.

Inside the $3 million educational centei that was eightyears in the making, sparkling new exhibits wound visitorsthrough estuarys of lesin and clay that seemed almost real,aiound mangrove roots fastened with the details of cling-ing miniscule crabs, under idle gulls, beside solitaryimmobile herons and even past a replica of Ding Darling'sstudio, complete with a worn wooden drafting table muchlike the one where he sketched out his political cartoons.

Despite visiting dignitaries like Ding's grandson Kipand Erick Lindblad from SCCF, it was the live bat lectuiethat had the crowd still talking, long after the event hadended, even as the visitors crossed the hot pavement andheaded back to their cars.

If Ding had been among the crowd, The Florida BatSociety might have won the Ding Darling WildlifeEducation award for the day, as the group successfullyde-villianized the furry winged mammals to audiencemembers just in time for Halloween, and held an entirefront row of unsupervised children under some sort of

vampirish spell of silence for more than an hour.Armed with a slide show depicting true photos t>f bats

with adorable piggy nosed faces, cars like March hares,and mohawk hairdos for a first date, the lecturer explainedthe importance of bats to the environment, their usefull-ness as mosquito vipers, and their relative harmlessness tohumans, contrary to populai myth.The show even made aonce-creepy vampne bat appear cute as it illustrated howthe small mammal tiptoes up to its prey with arms out-stretched and lakes a small sip of the sleeping chicken'sblood without either waking or harming the bird.

After a lengthy demonstration of the use of bathouses,the piece de insistence finally anived, as the live furrycreatures were brought out of their tiny polaioid cameracases and displayed to the patient audience members.Surely, had Jay Norwood Darling been seated some-where near the back row, he would have been as pleasedby the crowd's buzzing, by the comments of "Oooh! Howcute!" and by the list of names signed up for new whitepine bat houses, the ones that can house up to 300 bats,as he would have been by a three-layered, chocolate-frosted birthday cake.

sland authors — a good readBy Dawn deBoerStaff writer

'Rhythms of the Tides'Back in the early 1980s, he came with his wife Molly

K on visits to her parents. There, he fell in love, withFlorida.

"And I hated Florida," said author CharlesSobczak, 15 years of sand under his feet now.

Three books now published, with another in theworks, his first book, ''Six Mornings of Sanibel," stillremains his favorite today.

"As a writer, I probably bit off more than I could at thetime with 'Way Under Contract,' he said of his secondbook. "It was a very difficult book for me to write,because it was so complicated. 'Six Mornings' is simpler,and it touches people. It impacts people so hard some-times. It did the same to me as I wrote it."

A true story, according to a letter from a reader:"This man finished reading 'Six Mornings' crying and

gave it to the guy sitting next to him on the plane becausethat guy asked what he was reading that would make himcry. The book was returned six months later with a letter,saying the book completely changed his life. He quit his$250,000 a year job for a lesser paying job that broughthim home every night to his family," Sobczak said.

"I've gotten letters like that from people who read thebook and said it changed their lifestyle."

The author said of the book's leading character,"When he 'got it,' it was always so simple. He was caughtup with the wrong gods."

That thought of people taking what he writes serious-ly stays in the back of" his mind now that he's writing"Choice of Angels," which is due out next October.

"This is really going to get some people. This is goingto touch a deep chord, although I can't really concernmyself about it, because it's an artist's job to look at theoverall culture, absorb the collective subconsciousness,and reflect what you see in the way the world is puttogether — good and bad."

"Choice of Angels" talks about forgiveness and funda-mental Christian values lost by people who only talk thetalk, he said.

"When it comes time to walk the walk, they'renowhere to be found," he said. '"Choice of Angels" willbe simple if you want to read it that way, but you can lookas deep as you want to, because I'm layering it on manylevels."

A maiketable author now for two years, Sobczak said,"I'm letting the writing do the work for me."

No more book signings. Well, maybe a few, he said."Six Mornings" sold 11,000 copies. It averaged 100

book sales a day.

Dawn deBoerAuthor and wife, Molly K and Charles Sobczak.

"Way Under Contract," admittedly his Catch-22 side,didn't bring any hate mail but comments through thegrapevine. It was, he said, his "World According toGarp."

From the peanut galleryReaders of "Six Mornings, Doe and Duke of

Deerfield, 111., were ready for more."When you come down here for so many years, you

relate to what's in the book so much, you can't wait to getgoing on it the next day," Duke said of Sobczak's firstbook. "One thing I never liked about a book that I reallyliked is that it comes to an end."

"Rhythm" of the Tides" is all Dorothy and WayneMorsfield of Ypsilanti, Mich., wanted. "I wanted some-thing lighthearted, particularly now. You feel this in yourheart. It's what you can't put into words. He does. It drewme," Dorothy said. "And the racoon story is an absolutecrackup."

The day before at Blind Pass, Wayne stood, feelinginsignificant next to the ocean.

"He has an essay on the ocean in this book. I wasexcited it was about the islands."

'Frogg Pond'A reporter at The Key West Citizen first, a book-bound

writer next, native Floridian Steve Cason has headed forCosta Rica on a wild ride of a dream.

The protagonist is a politically opinionated cartoonist

Steve Cason

and frog — Amos —jailed in Costa Rica forimpersonating a charac-ter in a novel. That'swhere it starts to go wildfor Cason, and Amos,who keeps a jail journalof his thoughts on lifeand philosophy.

The story alternatesbetween Amos and six"troghead" fans whocome to lescue him.

"Frogg Pond" came toCason as a dream, whichhe jotted down as muchas he could on his bed-side pad. It's far removedfrom what the dream was, Cason said, although that wasa weird adventure from what he could recall.

"I don't know how much of the dream is actually inthe book now, but truth and fiction is all melded in theretogether," he said. "I dream in story form, I've been writ-ing for so long."

What Cason does know is that nobody he knowsmakes the grade for this odd-ball group of characters ona Costa Rica adventure.

"The book is a little political. It's not relevant to ter-rorism, but it's relevant to the times," he said of his firstbook. "It was a life-long dream to write. I have about fourin various stages of production. I work on one and set itaside. Work on another. That's the process of how I write.It's like being a reporter still. It's all hard work."

A former reporter for the Island Reporter, Cason isnow working on a fictional Sanibel — Sabal Cay —where the "things you couldn't write about in the paper"are penned in the politics of his years on-island, he said.

In writing "Gumbo Limbo," a development on thenorth end of Sabal Cay surfaces. The developer getsground up in a tree trimming machine, and the landscapecrew is in the middle of a murder mystery.

"That's just the way I write. Whether people find itfunny or not, humor and satire is in everything."

In 1989, Cason left Sanibel a married man, headed forthe Florida Keys and Tennessee. In seven years and sevendiafts, "Frogg Pond" became a book.

Tips for being safe on HalloweenEach year the Sanibel Police Department offers safe-

ty tips to parents of island trick-or-treaters, and theIsland Reporter prints them as a service to the commu-nity.

B Check that costumes are flame-retaidant and shortenough to pi event tripping and falling. Make sure theyare light-colored or have reflective tape, and try to useface paint as opposed to masks that might obstruct achild's vision. Avoid hard plastic or wooden props suchas daggers or swoids, substitute foam rubber.

• Tnck-or-treateis should travel in groups, only stopat familiar homes that are well lighted, and be told not toenter the houses or cars of strangers.

• Keep costumed kids away fiom pets; the pet maywell not lecognize the child (or ghost or witch) andbecome frightened and agitated.

• Inform children not to eat any of the trick-ot-treatcandy until it can be safely inspected in a well-lightedplace at home. Only let kids eat unopened candy in orig-inal wrappeis, and caiefully inspect any fruit or home-made treats.

Halloween is on Wednesday, Oct. 31, and all Sanibelpatiol cars will have candy to distribute.

ShowinpFlorida,

offive!

By Dawn deBoerStaff writer

On Captiva filming a pilot television program for amajor travel channel network, Big World Productionsswitched over to a documentary of a different sort in cre-ation of a travel guide for the waterways. In fromClearwater on a four-day shoot, TV cameras reeled everynook and cranny at South Seas for an ultimate four-minute spot in a travel segment on Florida's Top 10 des-tinations, airing end of March, early April next year.

A new cable television network tuning in at the first ofthe year is also looking at the footage from their shootsacross Florida with an eye to the lifestyles at Floridalesoits and a tasty dip into their cuisines.

The seventh on-site shoot for Deborah and CharlesKinder in the pioduction of the project — Little PalmIsland in Torch Key, Hawk's Cay in Duck Key, OceanReef at Key Largo, Fisher Island off Miami and Turnberiin Adventura now on Beta tape — only four more desti-nations remain. On then travel agenda, Boca RatonResort & Club, Hyatt Pier in Fort Lauderdale, The Vinoyin St. Petersburg and the Panhandle's San Destin are oncalendar.

After taping five to six 30-minute reels of each resort,the film crew departs with a good three hours of rawfootage and a lot of editing ahead of them for a one-hourprogram of four-minute spots on each of the 10 resorts.

"Depending on the size of the resort, shoot time runsanywhere from a hectic two days to a peaceful four dayson-site," Deborah said.

"The grade of Florida's Top 10 boating lesorls is byevaluation on a criteria of standards," Deborah said. Tomake the show, each resort must offer good dockingfacilities, easy access and amenities, be it fine dining ora great spa.

"Some have a great hotel, but the marina is not up topar. Some don't offer upper-end amenities, but do offerwonderful things for family and children. Some peoplelove Little Palm, where children under 16 are notallowed. Neither are telephones or televisions.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, as to what appeals,but all are seen as getaways in Florida.

Dawn deBoerBig World Productions films South Seas' ChefRoger James for pilot television program —first segment on Florida's best destinations.

between the 16th and 17th holes at the Beachview GolfClub. No one was hurt.

Doug Keen, the pilot of the red and white two-seat bi-plane, said the problem was the plane's carburetor, whichfailed to properly mix fuel and air for combustion.

"There was lots of fuel, but it wasn't mixing right,"Keen said, shaking his head but remaining in good spir-its. "We had to make a forced landing. It's only an emer-gency if someone gets hurt.""

Just as it seemed everything was in place for the antic-ipated dredging of Blind Pass, the process has once againbeen put in slow motion. This time it is due to a delay inthe permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers —which is now conducting an extensive review on theeffects dredging might have on manatees.

"The lawsuits have pretty much brought all water-based contracts to a grinding halt," said Alison Hagerup,administrator for the Captiva Erosion PreventionDistrict.

The suits are brought by a coalition spearheaded bySave the Manatee Club. The goal of the coalition is toforce government agencies into spending more timeresearching adverse effects water-based projects mighthave on wildlife — especially the manatee — and so farthe agencies have done just that.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has already issueda permit for Blind Pass dredging, but the corps has justbegun its review of the project.

Olympic power at the River RompBy Dawn deBoerStaff w r i t e r

The USA Junior Olympic circuit sailed into town for a3-course, 6-racc regatta off the Caloosahatchee River atEdison Sailing Center in Fort Myers recently. One hun-dred and forty-three skippers — the youngest, age 8 —racing Optimists, Lasers and 420s at the Junior OlympicSailing Festival cut the leading edge in the region's largestjunior sailing trials for national and world team points.

After 17 years locals call it the River Romp. This year,nine racing classes in dinghy competition set sail. SouthwestFlorida put in nearly 20 percent of the competing boats,while others came from the Midwest, Northeast, South andoverseas. In the past, competitors ventured in from as far asthe Netherlands, Germany and South America.

"All these kids you see running around, these are theskippers today," said Diane Holm, regatta chairpersonand sailing instructor with the sailing center and U.S.Sailing, the governing body for sailing U.S. waters.

The Optimists red-, white- and blue-fleet raced theexperienced skippers, with at least three regatta wins totheir name. The white fleet raced ages 10 and under. Theblue fleet raced ages 11 to 12. The red fleet raced ages 13to 15. The green fleet raced first-time sailors.

Skippers race an Olympic triangle of six legs on analternating weather, jibe and downwind course — fourraces Saturday, two on Sunday.

"This is run just like an Olympic trial regatta," saidBrian Fifer, Edison sailing instructor. U.S. Sailing holds20 Olympic trial regattas a year, said Ann Neuhauser, aU.S. Sailing trainee. This is the fifth year for the JuniorOlympics, a training ground for 10,000 young men andwomen to date, she said.

"To compete in the nationals, skippers must race in sixregattas of this type. They don't need to trophy, but mustcompete," Holm said. They must also place in the Top200 junior sailors in the countiy to race a national event.

Nationals for junior sailing are held three times a yeararound the country from New Orleans to Annapolis.National teams compete in the world's. Australia, Japan,Germany and Italy are a few international racing centers.Only 15 to 20 junior sailors make the world's team.

"It's expensive to race at that level, but you sail theworld," Holm said. Expertise builds by refining skills andtactics to diverse sailing conditions, she said, which canonly be had by sailing them. Gulf waters are wellrespected among international racers for its challenges.

Olympic teams come Florida's way to master winning

strategies in the interplay of winds, tides, currents, backcurrents, sandbars and shoals, all readily available in ourshallow waters. An America's Cup rockstar — an inter-national racing pro — or two will hail one day from thisgroup of daytrippers.

Down in Naples, junior sailors only race the Gulf ofMexico, although some never make it past the sandbars,"because they can't get through the breakers and rollingwaves," Holmes said. In Miami, junior sailors sail theextra mile just to get to the race course.

"They're beat before the race begins," she said. In rac-ing season, the Southern Sailing Association schedules aregatta every weekend within its six southern states.

Once the race begins, parents and coaches motor thecourse like big-boat spectators, only they can't say aword to the racers.

"They can't even wave, or the racer is disqualified,"Holmes said. They can only watch, and they do, withgreat excitement.

Winning waysTo stand close, listen to and merely observe Robert

Vann and Conner Blouin is to learn how learning works.It's a skill most search for well into adult life. They hadit at ages 12 and 14. The 12-year-old quickly understoodthe problem, and the question, of the 14-year-old. Connerneeded the expertise of his competitor, and Robert gaveit quickly and concisely. He followed Conner's ensuingactions with his eyes and saw the difficulty. He lent hishand to hold the sail taut, until Conner got his boat's mastin proper alignment. Then the two pulled their competingboats to the water's edge. It was race time.

On the third leg of the first race, rounding the buoythey came in streaming clusters, bows to sterns. A binghere. A bang there. Not even that. No protocols called.No protests made by the boats of right of way. Faultyjudgment went unnoticed, perhaps understood. It was thetalk on spectator boats only.

Nearly 50 new racers took to the waters of SouthwestFlorida this regatta — the youngest, age 8. Six states anda dozen yacht clubs, sailing clubs and centers competed.Sailing Lee County

WATER From page 1

Michael PistellaA sign at the Dunes golf course tells visitorseffluent water is being used.Director John Hefty. The golf courses use the water forthe irrigation of their densely-thatched fairways.

According to the Golf Course Superintendents ofAmerica, the dense grass of golf course turf is highlyeffective at filtering polluted water because the turf'sthatch layer of dead and decaying organic material holdspollutants and allows them to degrade naturally.

But there may be other uses for the gray water. As amember of both the Environmental Policy Committeefor the Florida League of Cities and the Energy,Environment and Natural Resources Committee of theNational League of Cities, Theiss has become aware of atrend in which cities take control over their treatedwastewater, making important decisions about who ownsit and who gets to use it and making effluent work for thebenefit of the community as a whole.

"Water is a natural resource and everyone owns it,"said the mayor. "But who owns the effluent?"

Theiss explains that, in Tampa, county efforts to takethe area's effluent have led to a growing concern thatstate or county governments could demand the use of thetreated wastewater, robbing citizens of its direct benefits.

On Sanibel, Theiss hopes that things will be different,that wise officials will have the foresight to look aheadand envision a future beyond the present responses ofdistinct island neighborhoods, which are already mak-ing decisions to accept or decline the effluent. To vieweffluent solely as "waste" water or to cast it instead inthe light of precious commodity is a decision the cityhas to make soon.

"I want to make sure that every neighborhood has theability to receive effluent water," said Theiss. "Even ifsome neighborhoods choose not to be included. Whatabout ten years down the road when effieunt is morevaluable? I think that we need to develop a clear policyabout which neighborhoods have access to it."

The cost of using effluent for irrigation is significant-ly less than for potable water, and it is much better forthe environment, said Theiss. But the digging and layingof the separate pipelines needed to transport the treatedwastewater into individual neighborhoods and privateresidences could get expensive.

"Ideally, every home would have a seperate meter fortheir effieunt water, and would pay a much lower priceper gallon than if they were to water their lawns with ourprecious drinking water," said Theiss. "At Disney World,although we don't like to think of it, all of their irrigationwater is effluent. Effluent water is becoming increasing-ly valuable for irrigation."

Currently, said Hefty, the primary means of the city'sdisposal of effluent is irrigation. The city's plan identifiesthese disposal areas as being in the middle section of WestGulf Drive and in the area of the baseball field near SanibelSchool. A back-up site for disposal is in the deep injectionwell co-owned by Island Water Association and the city.

Effieunt water, particularly in a reversed osmosis plantlike the one on Sanibel, is almost completely microbe-free, and is almost as clean as the potable water we serveto our families. But there's an image problem with think-ing about recycling the same old water, said the mayor.

The island's supply of effluent, much like that ofdrinking water, said Theiss, is dependent on rainfall.

"The deep injection well of the IWA gave us a placeto dispose of it when there was too much rain, too muchof a supply. But we also need to consider what to do withit in the long run. We might consider storing it in tanksfor use during the dry season," said Theiss.

The mayor notes a privately-owned piece of land onSanibel-Captiva Road that now houses a million gallonstorage tank, suggesting that the city might look into the

idea of whether it's costeffective to purchase theparcel.

In the meantime, Heftysays that at this time, thecity cannot sell its effluent,

to Cabbage Key, Cayo Cot,ta not until the treatmentand North Capwa plant on Donax Street is
