islands' first loggerhead nest spotted earlyBy Gwenda Hiett-ClementsNews Editor

Volunteer sea turtle monitors at the Sanibel/CaptivaConservation Foundation are gearing up for what promisesto be a busy nesting season. Although nesting season offi-cially begins Saturday, the islands' first nest was discoveredMonday and sightings of turtles offshore by fishermen havebeen numerous. And in the last three months, there havebeen nine dead sea turtles washed ashore and two live res-cues.

The first loggerhead nesting occurred Monday night,

April 26, at the north end of Bowman's Beach near BlindPass, according to the SCCF's Sea Turtle ProgramCoordinator Beverly Ball.

"Historically, the first nest has been around the secondweek in May but this year's earlier heat with a correspond-ing rise in Gulf water temperature may have resulted in ear-lier nesting," she said.

SCCF Executive Director Erick Lindblad said, "The tur-tles are coming. In fact, they're here. With the high numberof strandings and two live saves, there is definite evidence

Proposed dark skies ordinance discussion continue"By Pattie PaceStaff Writer

A delicate balance will need to be struck betweenislanders with competing interests before a proposed darknight skies ordinance, designed to prevent light pollution,ever becomes law.

The Sanibel Planning Commission's job, however, is todecide whether the application as submitted is consistentwith the Sanibel Plan, meets city codes and should be rec-ommended to the city council for approval.

Deciding they needed more technical' information andadditional public input; the commissioners voted 6-0 to con-tinue the discussion until 9:15 a.m. May 11.

Councilmember Andrew Reding, theplan's sponsor, is calling for an end toall up-lighting on the island. Light fix-tures would need to point downwardand be recessed or hooded to preventlight from spilling out at greater than a90-degree angle. Compliance wouldbegin within 30 days of passage with afinal deadline set for July 1, 2000.Additional time would be allotted incases of financial hardship, such as.retrofitting businesses and condomini-ums. A. Reding

The result, Reding said, would be a sky filled with liter-ally thousands of visible stars. He cited Sanibel's VisionStatement to stress the importance of living in harmonywith nature.

"We need to correct the perception that there are no streetlights on Sanibel," he added.

Over the years, private citizens have contacted the LeeCounty Electric Cooperative to place light poles on theirstreets, according to Reding. And most street lights alongwith many commercial and residential lights fail to evencomply with existing ordinances, he explained.

Amateur astronomer and member of the local dark nightskies organization Ken Donahue showed a video Tuesdaythat depicted how the city of Los Angeles has curbed lightpollution by installing street lights that point downward.• He also explained the differences between bad lighting

conditions. Light pollution is the result of up-lightingspilling into the sky; light glare radiates out horizontally orat an angle and practically blinds anyone in its path; andlight trespass occurs when light spills from one propertyonto another.

The proposed ordinance would make all three conditionsillegal.

Commissioner Phyllis Bogen adamantly objected to avague requirement that called for all "non-essential" out-door lights to be turned out after "normal business hours."

"I don't see any reason why business lights need to beoff," she said. "That's a form of advertising and I'd consid-er it a hardship."

Reding responded favorably."This ordinance is not an all-or-nothing plan. It's a long

way from finished and there's a lot more ironing out to do,"he said. "I don't want to rash the process and I'm hoping theother side won't want to either," he added, responding tocriticism rendered by the Sanibel/Captiva Islands Chamberof Commerce.

After drafting a written response toReding's ordinance, chamber ExecutiveDirector Keith Trowbridge told thecommissioners the business communityhe represents would like to see firmfacts and figures before a vote takesplace.

Chip Carter of Island Designs andGraphics, who has won several awardsfor island business signs he hasdesigned, objected to the ordinancerequiring that all signs be lit from thetop. Sign owners should be given some

Suspects face life sentencesBy Gwenda Hiett-ClementsNews Editor

The "dinner-set" burglars who were arrested on Sanibelin March face life in prison if convicted on charges handeddown at their arraignment last Friday, April 23.

Pabel Romero Martinez, 37, of Jacksonville, EnriqueNava, 31, of Cape Coral, and Carlos Sosa, 27, of Cape Coralentered pleas of not guilty to charges of robbery with adeadly weapon, two counts of kidnapping, and first-degree'burglary'—i- all of which are First-degree felonies "punishableby life sentences. All three also were charged with aggra^vated battery with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felonypunishable by up to a 15-year sentence. .A trial date of June14 has been. set. :

Kerri Carmin, spokeswoman for the State Attorney'soffice, said original charges of grand theft, a third-degreefelony, and obstruction by a disguised person, a first-degree-misdemeanor, were dropped in favor of other more appro-priate and more serious charges.

The three were arrested in connection with the violenthome invasion of Mickey Woods' Pine Tree Drive residenceMarch 21, when Woods was stabbed and his girlfriend wasterrorized as the robbers demanded money.

Martinez was arrested at the scene of the crime afterSanibel police found him hiding in the canal behind thehome. Nava was arrested near Blind Pass the followingmorning and Sosa was taken in two days later by LeeCounty Sheriffs' Deputies. The fourth suspect, FranciscoHurtado, 30, of Cape Coral who turned himself in April 15,will be arraigned on similar charges May 14.

In "dozens of previous Southwest Florida "dinner-set"burglaries, so named because the thieves broke in duringdinner hours, no one had been at home. Other burglaries onisland occurred and on the east end, at Woodring Point, onWest Gulf Drive and in the Sanctuary.

Prosecuting attorney Steve Coukos, who is handling allfour cases, said, "These are aggressive charges and we're

looking at a lot of prison time. If it does go to trial, it will bewell down the line. The June trial date will most likely becontinued. (The state) wants to try all four as co-defendants.They have all retained attorneys and with four separatedefense attorneys it's difficult to get the trial under wayearly. One or two may want to plea bargain, but it's still tooearly to know if any plea arrangements will be made."

Coukos added that the State Attorney's Office is current-ly evaluating the case, conducting discovery and makingdecisions on procedure. He said typically a case takes fromthree months to two years to go to trial and in this instance,based on his previous experience, Coukos thinks it will beat least nine months before any trial activity, although pleasmay take place earlier than that.

Coukos has been working with Detective RobertLogsdon of the Lee County Sheriff's Office, the lead inves-tigator in the "dinner-set" burglaries that have taken place inLcc County over the past year.

Logsdon said there have not been any reported burglar-ies anywhere in Lee County matching the pattern of the"dinner-set" burglaries since the arrest of the four suspects.He also said he could not release the results of blood andhair samples taken from the Woods' home to be used as evi-dence in that case and possibly other burglaries.

However, so far the four have only been charged in theWoods case. All but Martinez remain in jail.

Sanibel Police Detective Scott Ashby said the case isbeing co-worked with Lee County and that Sanibel policehave turned over all their case packages, including docu-ments and statements.

Ashby said, "It is still very much a Sanibel case since thecrime for which the four are charged occurred in our juris-diction. If we go to trial, we're looking at being involved inthe depositions, testimony, calling witnesses. We will stayactively involved. This is a big case and it will take time andeffort." •.. .: ••. • : ••

Carter also suggested adopting one of the less-restricordinances displayed on the Dark Skies Association'swebsite.

Commissioner Steve Greenstein suggested that ifchanges were made to benefit the "public good," themight consider partially funding retrofitting projects.

Last but not least, the issue of enforcementaddressed.

"If we pass an ordinance that can only be enforcnight and our code enforcement officer goes home at 5how can we enforce this?" Greenstein asked. "Are we ]to have an astronomer patrol out at night?"

Code Enforcement Officer Ray Hendzel suggesteding Sanibel police officers and letting them conduct itime patrols.

The department, however, is down several empldue to budget constraints.

Commissioner Dick Downes invited all interested pto attend the May 11 planning commission meetingtheir concerns and offer suggestions.

that mating in going on in the Gulf."Last year's record high 575 nests — the highest number

recorded since SCCF has been keeping data — were up 32percent over the previous high year in 1996. Also last year,Sanibel recorded its first-ever natural green turtle nest. Onthe negative side, several nests were washed out byHurricane Georges and other storms.

Volunteers for the SCCF's Sea Turtle MonitoringProgram met for their orientation meeting last Wednesday,April 21, to learn about their contribution to sea turtle nest-ing from May through October. Volunteers identify andmonitor nests on a daily basis, and send final data to theFlorida Department of Environmental Protection to provideimportant information used to increase the survival of thisfederally threatened species.

Lindblad said that one of the most important aspects ofthe program is that volunteers who are on the beach eachmorning have an opportunity to share information about thesea turtles with visitors.

Ball is in her second year as program coordinator of theislands' program, the oldest, uninterrupted loggerhead mon-itoring program in the United States, begun in 1958 byCharles LeBuff. Nancy and George Madison arc in chargeof the east end volunteer walkers. Sam Landry, who hashandled much of the monitoring on Captiva for the pastthree years, has been named coordinator of that area.

Kathleen Campbell is in charge of distributing "LightsOut for Sea Turtle" flyers to Gulf-front property owners toremind residents and vacationers of Sanibel's lighting ordi-nance in effect year round, but more closely enforced Maythrough October. No outside lighting should shine directlyon the beach, curtains should be closed to shield roomlights, and beach furniture and toys should be removedbefore sunset.

Monitoring areas are divided into three sections — theeast end of Sanibel, from the Lighthouse to Tarpon Bay; thewest end from Tarpon Bay to Blind Pass; and Captiva.Permittees who are listed on a permit issued by the DEP arethe only ones allowed to designate and label the nests, andmonitor and tally hatching activity of the nests.

Every day of the week on the east end more than 50 vol-unteer walkers cover one of the six assigned zones on thebeach. A Jeep patrol of permittees covers the west end ofSanibel on a daily basis. On Captiva, a mule (a beach dunevehicle) is used by permittees to cover the entire stretch ofbeach.

Walkers in the early morning look for turtle tracks fromthe night before. If they note tracks, they mark it with a hotpink flag and report the sighting to their assigned permittee.Permittees put a stake three feet to the right of the nest witha sign that notes the existence of a sea turtle nest and thedate. This year's walkers will be reporting to permittees Billand Tory Burch, the Madisons, Bill and Ann Wollschlager,Armand and Bev Ball, Tom and Linda Uhler and LindaGornick.

Those who sight turtle tracks — the heavy loggerheadsleave a deep impression in the sand that resembles hugetractor treads with their flippers — will find they can lead

This photographwas taken by an individual involved in scien-tific research.to various ends: a false crawl, an attempt at nesting or a nest.If tracks come out of the water and go back down in a Vshape or wander around with no disruption of sand at the topof the journey, the turtle did not like the area. If the trackleads to a spot where the turtle stopped, started to dig andfound roots or shells that would not make a good nest, shewill go back to try again. When the tracks lead to a recog-nizable rounded out area that shows evidence of the turtleusing her back flippers to cover eggs, that usually indicatesnesting.

Close to hatching time following a 55- to 65-day incuba-tion, permittees look for evidence of a "ball" rising from thenest, which precedes the hatching.

A hatchling uses its egg tooth — a sharp extension — tosaw through its rubbery egg shell to push its way out. Theturtles work collectively to get to the surface of the sand. Asthey wiggle their way up, the sand filters down and the tur-tles rise. They get to a point where they sense a cooling.Then they emerge almost in a volcano-like eruption. Therecan be 100 sea turtles bursting forth in a matter of minutes.

The hatchlings usually emerge after dark using the lightof the horizon to orient them to the water. If they are leadaway from the water by artificial light, they die of dehydra-tion, exhaustion or being crushed.

Three days after an emergence, permittees begin the datacollection. They dig up the nest and take out the contents.They count the number of egg shells, the number ofunhatched eggs, the number of pips (live turtles in the shell),the number dead pips and the number out of the shells deador alive. That data is submitted to the DEP at the end of tur-tle season.

Tower moratorium to move forwardSanibel planning commissioners voted 5-1 to pass a draft

telecommunications moratorium ordinance and send it tothe Sanibel City Council with a recommendation to approveit.

The ordinance calls for a 180-day moratorium on the'"processing or approval of applications for telecommunica-tion devices and facilities exceeding 45 feet in height orwhich involve any increase in height of any existing toweror facility."

"I voted against it because I feel an applicant has a right,once filed, to have that application processed," said dissent-ing Commissioner Steve Greenstein.

Sprint has had an application on file for months pendingthe outcome of the proposed telecommunication ordinance.

Commissioners approve dock requestVoting 6-0, commissioners agreed to allow Ed and Lynn

Carrington to build a dock at the home they're renovating at1878 Woodring Road. They directed city staff to prepare aresolution for a final, vote at 9:10 a.n% May 11.

The original application, filed in February 1997 by theprevious owner Ellen Dunbar, called for placing two boatsat the lot, bne moored at the dock and one stored on a boatlift.

Following the commission's preliminary vote, EdCarrington quipped that his remodeling project was so cost-*ly, he only needed approval for one boat because that's allhe could afford.

Sea turtle basicsH The Sanibel/Captiva Conservation Foundation

monitors loggeihead sen turtle nesting on Sanibel andaptiva May through October.

H Loggerhead sea turtles are listed as threatened underthe Endangered Species Act.

H The loggerhead is named for its large head, whichcan be 10 inches wide. It has powerful jaws to crush theheavy-shelled clams, crabs and encrusting animals onwhich it feeds.

H Loggerhead adults have a reddish-brown carapace.Scales on the top and sides of the head and top of the flip-pers are also reddish-brown, but have yellow borders.

B Adults can grow to more than three feet in lengthand weigh between 250 and 400 pounds. Maturity isreached at between 16 to 40 years.

B Mating takes place in late March-early June, and:ggs are laid throughout the summer.

B Female adult loggerhead sea turtles emerge at nightto lay 40 to 180 leathery, Ping-Pong ball-sized eggs andusually nest two or three times m a single season. Whenthe turtle is laying her eggs, she is in what is called a "tur-le trance." That's when they are most vulnerable.

B The incubation period for loggerhead sea turtle eggss approximately 55 to 65 days.

H Sea-turtle hatchlings emerge after dark using thelight of the horizon to orient them to the water.

B Artificial light near the beach can lead the hatch-lings away from the water, where they soon die fromdehydration, exhaustion or are crushed.

M Pollution, lighted beaches, loss of nesting habitat,boat collisions and drowning in shrimp nets and otherfishing gear have caused a drastic decline in sea turtlepopulations.

B To learn more about sea turtles, visit theSanibel/Captiva Conservation Foundation's Nature'enter at 3333 Sanibel-Captiva Road.

What you can do for turtlesB Lighting — Turn off lights that shine on the beach,

lower the lights, close the drapes, direct or reflect lightinward, raise vegetation heights. Avoid flashlights andfishing lanterns. Never take flash photos of nesting turtlesor hatchlings.

H Beaches — Put beach furniture and beach toysaway at night; take down tents and volleyball nets. Keepthe beaches free oi litter. Sea turtle deaths have beencaused by their mistaking balloons, plastic bags andStyrofoam for food.

B Nesting —Do not remove nest identification markers. Stay clear

of marked areas. It is illegal to harass nesting sea turtlesor to have in your possession eggs or any part of a sea tur-tle. If you see a mother coming out of the se;\, stay stu"and watch. 11 you move toward her, she may go back andnot lay eggs. Give your eyes a chance to adjust at night.Observe with respect.

B Hatchings — Watch out for disoriented hatchlingsor turtles lured away from the sea. If you find a disori-ented loggerhead hatchling, put it into a bucket or dishpan with sand moistened with sea water and put a towelover the container to keep the hatchling in darkness. Keepit in an ambient temperature location, not in the cold airconditioning, and not outside, where fire ants can get tothem. Most importantly, notify SCCF at 472-2329 orCROW at 472-3644.

From page 1Mayor Bob Janes told the board. "What I'mproposing is that you take out language thatcould be considered prejudicial."

Janes was referring to a section of theplan that states, "New or replacementbridges on evacuation routes spanningmajor or marked navigable waterways shallnot be drawbridges except where a highspan cannot physically be constructed."

He said without a change, engineers con-ducting the study would literally be asked toignore the Lee Plan. ,

Sanibel's Assistant Planning DirectorKen Pfalzer offered alternative languagebased on performance criteria.

He suggested new or replacement struc-tures "be designed, constructed and operat-ed to adequately accommodate the evacua-tion needs of both motor vehicle and marinetraffic."

In addition, Councilmember AndrewReding told the board that Sanibel's draw-bridge outperformed the Cape Coral andFort Myers Beach high-span bridges duringHurricane Andrew evacuations.

"Both high, fixed-span bridges closedwhile the Sanibel Causeway remained open

because wind speeds never reached a sus-tained 40 mph," Reding said.

Sanibel resident Ray Grizzell stepped upto the podium and told board members thecounty's best option is to repair and rehabil-itate the existing bridge.

"I live on Sanibel and I'm not afraid.... Ifthe engineers need a job, let's find anotherjob for them," he said. "Sacrificial anodeshave been used on ships for years and cankeep the bridge from deteriorating."

Despite points raised during the discus-sion, LPA Chairman Greg Stuart and agencymember William Hickok voted against thechange, which had been requested by theLee County Commission. Stuart said hethought changing the Lee Plan was overkillwhen the matter could be solved by meansof simple written agreement. Hickok's mainconcern was safety.

"What if it sticks?" he asked Reding,referring to the drawbridge getting locked inthe up position during an evacuation. "Doyou have an alternate evacuation plan byboat or barge?"

Reding said the question was purelyhypothetical because, as far as he was

/ live on Sanibel and I'm not afraid.... Ifthe engineers need a job, let's find anotherjob for them. W

— Ray GrizzellSanibel resident

aware, that situation had never happened.He added that the PD&E study wouldaddress safety.

"I could throw that question back at you.If the winds reach more than 40 mph (on afixed-span bridge) do you have an alternateway off the island? That's more of a prob-lem than the drawbridge getting stuckbecause you can always hand crank thosethings down," Janes said.

LPA members Matt Uhle and BarbaraBarnes-Buchanan voted to recommend theLee Plan change. Agency members MitchHutchcraft, Bill Spikowski and Ronald Ingewere absent when the vote was taken.

"It's a shame Ken Pfalzer couldn't havegotten the proposed language change to usearlier," Stuart said.

Neither he nor the county's planning staffwas willing to accept the change withoutfurther study by John Wilson, the county'sdirector of public safety.

Pfalzer said that, as a professional cour-tesy, he made some suggestions to the plan-ning staff on how to change the language,but resisted specifics. He drafted the newlanguage as he sat through the day-longmeeting while other issues were beingdebated.

Lessons learned from Colorado tragedyBang, bang, you're dead!Childish talk with fatal

results.Thirteen innocent victims

in an affluent suburb ofDenver. Slain in a highschool by two madmen,albeit teen-agers, with gunsand bombs who then turnedtheir weapons on them-selves.

It was April 20, Hitler'sbirthday, and these Americanteens routinely spokeGerman to each other in thehalls of Columbine HighSchool. They wore blacktrench coats and were fasci-nated with violence — inmovies, music, the Internet,video games and real life.

Their diaries left behindfrightening .thoughts andeven more ambitiousdestructive plans that couldhave left hundreds dead in the wake of their sick and fatalgame of revenge of the teen-age outcasts.

Shock waves have reverberated throughout the countrysince the massacre, with Denver the epicenter. My sisterlives there and recalled last Tuesday, stuck in traffic, pullingover for ambulances heading south to Littleton and again fortheir return journey toward trauma centers. She said otherdrivers simply shook their heads at each other as tears randown their cheeks while the grim news came across theradio.

Nearly a week later, I found myself crying once more asI rode my bicycle and listened with my headsets to a broad-cast of the funeral of teacher William "Dave" Sanders, 47.One of his two daughters read a poem, saying good-bye tothe hero who saved countless lives.

And if all this isn't enough, we know it can — and like-ly will — happen again at some other school, by some otherstudent.

To a lesser extent, it's already happened here, in little oldSouthwest Florida, safe and secure as Ariytown, U.S.A.

Remember the late Superintendent Dr. James Adams,

gunned down in the Lee County School Board building bya disgruntled teacher who later shot and killed himself?

And what about the Lords of Chaos, who shot teacherMark Schwebes to death at the front door of his home?Thankfully those culprits are in prison — all but one for therest of their lives — but. remember their grand plans to fol-low up with mass carnage at Disney World?

Paducha, Ky.; Pearl, Miss.; Springfield, Ore. — the stu-dents keep getting bolder; the warning signs are all thesame; yet no one heeds them.

Sanibel DARE Officer Kurt Schulte, who. works withisland children of all ages, said he wasn't shocked by themassacre in Colorado. "I think that we have been spiralingdown as a nation as far as discipline, and it comes from thefamily. It starts at home."

Schulte "places the blame for Eric Harris' and DylanKlebold's actions squarely in the lap of their upper middleclass parents, for not teaching them to respect authority orbuilding their self esteem. And he said he regularly seeslocal kids who treat their parents horribly and parents whoallow it.

"From the day these kids are bom, they have to be taughtright and wrong, and the need to be disciplined and haveconsequences for their actions. I run into kids all the timewho don't have this ... and these kids are running the home.... I see first and second graders and you can look at them,by their actions talking with their parents, you can tell, andyou just know who's running the household."

Schulte said it "boggles my mind" to see this. •When the detective was a youngster, Schulte said he was

completely into sports but admitted many young boys dohave more of a tendency to be violent and play war games.

"And I think today, in our society in general, with thevideo games and the movies coming out of Hollywood, glo-rifying that behavior, I can't say they're the reason behindthese killings but they are a vehicle that helped influencethese kids. I think if these kids were disciplined from thevery beginning and their parents ... had shown these kidsthat they're good at different things ... it doesn't sound likethakwas done at all.

"Someone told them they were geeks and outcasts andthose kids believed it. They bought into that lie and theywanted revenge," Schulte said.

Sanibel School Principal Barbara Von Harten said in thedays after the massacre, each teacher was given the flexibil-ity in class to talk about or not talk about what had happened

And if all this isn't enough,we know it can — and likelywill — happen again at someother school, by some otherstudent •

more than 1,500 miles away.The teachers of the older students did discuss the events

in class, what Von Harten called "appropriate and a goodthing to do to allay concerns."

When asked if, after all her experience working withchildren, Von Harten was surprised by the Colorado schoolkillings, she said, "It's more shocking, I would say, thananything. It's shocking and it's tragic. It's something that isunexplainable and it really makes us try to redouble ourefforts to provide a safe learning environment for our chil-dren, and to make sure every child is connected to theschool and an adult to talk to and to open up to."

I'm not an expert on teen-agers, except that I survivedmy own somewhat rocky adolescence, and I can see thatHarris' and Klebold's parents are at fault, at the very leastfor not communicating with their youngsters. A friend ofmine with teen-age sons readily admitted she regularlysearches their rooms and clothes' pockets, and couldn'tunderstand how the Colorado parents missed the "virtualbomb-making factory" in the Harris garage.

The monstrous actions of these two — plotted outmethodically for over a year — don't just come about with-out any warning.

But those with the most responsibility in this horrible,tragic bloodbath — the main culprits — are dead by theirown hands, and now they'll never learn that what seemshopeless on the high school level is never so.

What is doubly tragic is that, we, as a society, will neverhave the answers to the two main questions that will hauntus: Why? And why take so many with you?

' Because bang, bang, they're dead.

Reflections on Littleton from an island high schoolerTragedy can strike

anywhere. Thiswas learned thehard way last

Tuesday, April 20, when twogunmen engaged in a brutalmassacre at Columbine HighSchool in Littleton, Colo.Chaos reigned last week,leaving 15 people — 14 stu-dents including the two gun-men and one teacher —dead, and many othersinjured. As we ponder thissenseless violent outburst,we find ourselves asking thesame question over and overagain: Why?

Because gunmen DylanKlebold and Eric Harris took their own lives after theirkilling spree, we will never know for sure what motivatedthis madness. The only thing that is for sure is that this inci-dent is one that no one wants to see happen again anywhere.

Investigators comb the scene at Columbine High School,while experts try to explain this tragedy with modern psy-chology. Because of the symbolic black trench coats thatwere worn during the shooting/bombing, and Eric's andDylan's involvement in the "Goth" subculture, experts pointout what they feel might have led to this horrible attack. Intheir opinion, the killers did this because they were Goths.As far as the so-called experts are concerned, Gothic sub-culture is nothing more than a cult.

I am a 16-year-old sophomore at Cypress Lake HighSchool. By my peers, I am described as a "Norm" (someonewho can fit in with whatever subculture or clique they wantto hang out with). Because I hang out with Goths, I amthought of as a Gothy-Norm. I have a lot of Gothy friendsand from what I've read, the attack in Littleton is not a resultof influences from the Gothic subculture. This attack wasnot caused by the music, movies, TV programs, fantasyrole-playing or other associations with the Gothic lifestyle.

Many things might have caused this attack but I say toyou that Goth was not the catalyst. The only conclusion Ican draw is that the gunmen were sick individuals who mayor may not have had Nazi ideals. Reading about the interestsof the dead victims of this crime, however, the only group Iknow for sure the gunmen were targeting were "jocks," the

subculture that allow their lives to revolve around sports andbeing popular. The subculture that also is one of the! mostguilty of emotionally traumatizing any other subculture fornot having the same fashion views or likes and dislikes.Jocks will make fun of another subculture just because theydon't want to "follow the crowd."

Simply because Goths listen to different music, have dif-ferent hobbies and are interested in different things doesn'tmean that they deserve the ridicule they receive. But thenagain, you cannot prosecute a teen-ager for making fun ofanother teen-ager, can you?

Whether or not this attack was racially targeted or anattack from one subculture to another, I cannot say for sure.

I can say for sure, however, that this terrible tragedy isbeing felt even here, more than 1,000 miles away. In myown school, I see the administration jumping on any threatthat comes up, no matter how preposterous.

Anything a Goth says in my school is taken out of con-text by the first prep or jock who hears it and brings itstraight to the vice principal (with a few words added intothe mouth of the offending Goth, to be sure they're naileddown). And the student is taken away without even the ben-efit of having anyone who can prove they are innocent beingallowed to vouch for them.

Fear grips my school. An unconfirmed rumor is circulat-ing that a message on the wall of one of the boys' restroomssays that a repeat of the Columbine attack will take place onMay 7, 1999, at Cypress Lake High School. Also uncon-firmed are rumors that the administration is planning onclosing the school that day. Whether true or not, this is anexample of the fear and anxiety that this is causing.

I ask to you make your own decisions on the motives

Fear grips my school. Anunconfirmed rumor is circulat-ing that a message on thewall of one of the boys'restrooms says that a repeatof the Columbine attack willtake place on May 7, 1999,at Cypress Lake High School.behind this chill-bringing attack. Was it a racially targetedattack induced by the "dark teachings" of the "Gothic cult?"I personally do not believe so. I feel it was simply paybacksfor two emotionally disturbed young people who werepushed too far by members of another social clique. Add theincompetence of parents who are either both blind and deaf,or don't care enough about their children to notice that theirhome has become a factory of death, and you get the deathsof 13 innocent people on the hands of the parents and anywho knew about the events that were about to unfold. Theseare people who are guilty of their own crimes and will haveto live with their decisions for the rest of their lives.

I s l a n d v o i c e sSonibel worth the fightTo the editor:

Last week I visited another barrier islandon the East coast and my hosts were anxiousto show me their area and the wildlife. Wespent a day boating and I saw lots of bighouses, tall condos and very little undevel-oped land.

We even boated into a wildlife spot thathad mangroves but I saw and heard nothing.On the way back to their home, we passedunder a bascule bridge that is being replacedby a high span. In three days, I saw two lit-tle blue herons, one great egret, two wood-storks, one osprey, two turkey vultures andthree fish crows (only three!), all flyingoverhead.

Boats were everywhere but there were nomanatees or dolphins in spite of areas beingdesignated for them. I never heard a singlebirdsong the whole time I was there. Thehabitat for them has all but disappeared.

As I came back to Sanibel, over the bas-cule bridge and the causeway islands, I feltthat I was returning to a very special placewhere there are no high-rise buildings, nostop lights, and wildlife in my own yard thatwakes me up with their songs in the morn-ing, inspects my yard for food, rests in mybushes and trees, and sometimes serenadesme at night.

If Sanibel is to remain a refuge forwildlife and for people who live herebecause of what they value as a better wayof life, it will be necessary to fight for it.This island is unique but it is also fragile andthere are those who will try their best to"modernize" it with less wildlife habitat andmore concrete.

Like humans, creatures find sheltersomewhere but they must also have foodand water, and that is what is disappearingwith so much development.

I can't imagine living in a place that'sdevoid of everything except buildings, high-span bridges and people. What a sad endingfor a beautiful island that would be. It mustnot happen to Sanibel.

Sewer committee 'best'To the editor:

Worst, worse, bad, good, better, best —These are comparative words and it is greatto let you know that at the last meeting ofthe Sanibel Wastewater Committee, it wasfinally decided to pursue the "best" solutionto our sewer problem on Sanibel.

Just in case those of you who are payingattention to the sewer problem and mayhave wondered if I have forgotten about it,you should "know it ain't so."

The wastewater committee is well quali-fied to make recommendations. They mustcontinue to stay focused on the "best" solu-tion for this environmentally sensitiveisland.

The committee is comprised of:Chairwoman Shelly Storves, WarrenDeuber, Steve Duffy, Jim Hagerty, GrahamKortegas and Sanibel Councilmember NolaTheiss.

The group will meet at Sanibel City Hallbeginning at 9 a.m. May 3 and 24, June 14and 28, and July 19.

At this writing, we have 41 EquivalentResidential Connections that have sewerlines installed but cannot be connectedbecause of the lack of capacity to processthe sewage at the Donax plant.

The committee has become aware of thefact that our public school, J.N. "Ding"Darling National Wildlife Refuge and theSanibel/Captiva Conservation Foundation— with their thousands of visitors — arestill on non-conforming septic tanks.

Until next time,Ray M. Grizzell

Merchandise worrisomeTo the editor:

My family and I just returned from ourannual Sanibel vacation refreshed but con-cerned.

We are concerned by the sale of drugparaphernalia in a shop that caters to chil-dren and teens. The shop is Needful Thingsin the Tahitian Gardens shopping center.

They are selling "kiddie bongs" for smokingmarijuana and crack cocaine at the cash reg-ister. To make matters worse, their "kiddiebongs" incorporate cartoon characters toenhance their appeal to young people.

My teen-agers were shocked to see thison Sanibel and so was I when they broughtit to my attention. It's a sad day when mer-chants catering to children have to stoop solow for the almighty buck.

Very truly yours,John Seelie and family: Kate, Megan

and JulieCleveland, Ohio

Be a mentor to kidsTo the editor:

Last Tuesday's tragedy in Denverreminded us all too well about why we mustcare for our children.

In non-stop media coverage, the individ-uals responsible for the massacre inLittleton, Colo., were two teen-age boys —kids. Classmates reported that the boys wereconsidered "nerds," "losers" and that they"didn't really belong." As a result, the boysconsidered themselves "outsiders."

It is extremely troubling to acknowledgethat when a child feels left out, different andhas no sense of belonging, extreme violencecan be the consequence and everyone suf-fers.

At Big Brothers/Big Sisters of SouthwestFlorida, we are doing everything we can tomatch boys and girls with caring adults, giv-ing them a sense of belonging and a placewhere they can feel special, appreciated andvalued. In a national study conducted byPublic/Private Ventures, researchers foundthat boys and girls matched with a BigBrother or Big Sister were less likely to joingangs and engage in violence.

Since the April 20 Incident, there hasbeen ongoing dialogue and the call for morepolice and metal detectors in schools. Wecontend that the need is not for more "quickfixes" but long-lasting and caring interac-tion between children and adults.

Youth violence will not be deterred bymachines, such as metal detectors. It will be

The Jean Wigley Community AngelAward project, which culminated in honor-ing 1.6 island women, was warmly embracedby everyone on our islands. Heartfelt thanksto all who helped our Zonta club developand implement the program.

When we initiated the award a year ago,we determined three primary objectives: tokeep Jean's memory alive; to encourage oth-ers to emulate her spirit of volunteerism;and to honor women who demonstrate hercommitment and leadership. It is our hopewe had some success in achieving thesegoals. But even more, we hope everyone onthe islands recognizes what a difference allvolunteers make.

No contribution of your time or talent istoo small and it is never too late»to start!Angels are made every day.

TravelogueExcuse me if I overpraise this picture.

Ecuador is neither very large nor very rich.Yet it appears willing to forgo a short termadvantage — rapid development andexploitation — for longer term conservationof its natural treasures. They do this in theface of significant political opposition.Don't we have something to learn here?

One final point; Required reading for theGalapagos trip (PrincetonUniversity/Lindblad Special Expeditions)was Jonathan Weiner's "The Beak of theFinch," Random House (1994), a PulitzerPrize-winning book now available in paper-back from Vintage Books. This is a mustread for anyone interested in evolution andthe creation/evolution issue that still heats

American religious and political debate.This easy-to-read volume presents solid,quantitative evidence that should end theargument that Darwinian natural selection isa mere unproven theory. Indeed, it showsnatural selection at work, not only over geo-logical time — as Darwin believed the caseto be — but rapidly, visibly, measurably,virtually from one breeding season to thenext.

Mills Bros: Three generations build business togetherBy Pattie PaceStaff Writer

The Mills Brothers. Just likethe famous musical quartetthat name conjures up,Sanibel's duo hails origi-

nally from Ohio. Only the music thisfamily team makes often rises from theweary laughter surfacing after a longday of wielding hammers in the swel-tering sun.

Four months after officially openingfor business in January, Chris and BillMills continue to pull in constructionjobs based on their reputations in the Bill Millscommunity and referrals from satisfied customers.

"The phone rings every day," said 36-year-old Chris,who moved to Sanibel in 1986 when he built brother Bill'shouse on Atlanta Plaza Drive.

By chance not design, the brothers are starting out withsmall, compact jobs that have a distinct beginning and end.

Building decks and remodeling condos, kitchens andbaths also helps build relationships with their customers,gaining trust and respect along the way.

While building business relationships, the brothers havealso been strengthening generational family ties. As thenewest member of the construction team, their 27-year-oldnephew Jack Brenner has to put up with a lot of good-natured teasing and endure the inherent pecking order thatresults in his uncles bossing him around.

Adding the financial savvy of their 79-year-old dad, JoeMills, to the mix helped keep the venture from a sputteringstart.

Joe spent three months setting up the books and financialsystems for his sons before he headed back to Springfield,Ohio. Now all they have to do is maintain his methods.

"I have a bad feeling things are going to pile up on us,"Bill said.

But he has a solution in mind —- packing up excesspaperwork and shipping it up to Joe in a 9-by-12 inch mani-la envelope.

"I've been having nightmares about my job since Iretired 15 years ago, now I'm back doing it again," Joequipped."

When asked about the challenges and benefits of work-ing with a sibling, Bill smiled and said, "Ask him first."

His brother Chris said, "I'd say real good so far. Each oneof us has our specialty in this. I'm not going to try to tell him

Police watch

how to keep his paperwork and records and he couldn'tinstruct on the job about how to built things. We're bothpieces of the puzzle."

Bill agreed and added, "We've hadour couple of moments where we vent-ed a little bit, but I think that's healthy.You don't let those things build up. Hiseyes roll a lot. One of these days they'regoing to get stuck in that position."

While he hones his carpentry skills,Bill generally reserves a couple dayseach week for paperwork.

"It definitely helps to know the peo-ple and the process. Just knowing thecodes as well as I do just makes it moreefficient for our company in the wholeChris Mills

permitting process," said 39-year-old Bill, who worked forSanibel for about 13 years.

With a background in urban planning and design, Billquipped that he always "kind of wanted to be a developer."

Chris, on the other hand, has been learning the construc-tion trade for as far back as he can remember. After anivingon Sanibel and building Bill's house in the mid-1980s, hesigned on with general contractor Rick Kennedy, withwhom he worked until the brothers started their own busi-ness and obtained their own contracting license.

Bill and Chris work closely together in the bidding anddesign phase of each project. Some jobs are bid for a flat feeand, if estimated correctly, turn a profit. Other, more com-plicated bids require costs plus estimates. They order mate-rials on an as-needed basis.

So how are they doing with their bids?"We've hit a couple and missed a couple," Bill said of

their learning curve.On the job site, Chris is in charge, doing all the measur-

ing and cutting himself and delegating more basic chores toBill and Jack.

"He's trying to teach a couple of old dogs some newtricks. I'm sure it's a little bit-frustrating for him," Bill said."Just remembering which end of the hammer to use istough."

Though the busy season has ended, Bill said their workisn't seasonal and that many customers like to have jobsdone while they're up North for the summer to avoid theconstruction mess.

"Call us with inside jobs," Bill joked, now that theoppressive summer heat is looming.

Pausing to reflect on his recent career change, Bill said,"The way it ended up, it just seems like a more honest liv-

ing. It's nice to step back at the end of the day and almostalways see progress."

He resigned his post as assistant city manager inDecember amid the upheaval in city government followingNovember's contentious local elections race, the resignationof then City Manager Gary Price, the early icLircmcnt oiother long-term city employees, and the appointment ofCity Attorney Bob Pritt as interim city manager.

With a slow gun he added, "The best thing is writing outpaychecks at the end of the week. Pay to the order ol BillMills. Signed — Bill Mills."

B u s i n e s sTimbers, Grill offer total dining experience

Mark Blust

By Michael PistellaStaff Writer

The Timbers Restaurant & FishMarket and its sister establishment theSanibel Grill have long been favoritedining spots and among the cherishedlocal watering holes. And this week,they were given a well-deserved pat onthe back by picking up 14 Best of theIsland awards selected by the readersof the Island Reporter and CaptivaCurrent.

The Timbers garnered awards for best dinner; seafood;romantic dinner; wine selection; chef, Scott Marchetti; wait-er, Kevin McDonald; and waitress, Dacia Wilson. TheSanibel Grill took the honors for best bar; sports bar; lunch;fast food (an honor shared with Dairy Queen); male bar-tender, Bobby Dune; female bartender, Audrey Fischer; andwaitress, JoJo Testagrose.

The awards didn't come as a real surprise to the Timbersand Sanibel Grill general manager Mark Blust, especiallythe best seafood honor. That's one of the things of which heand the rest of the staff are most proud.

"The first thing you notice when you walk through thedoors (of the Timbers) is the fish market and the displaycase which showcases our fresh fish," Blust said. "That'swhat the Timbers is."

Blust said all the fish that enter the doors of the Timbersand the Sanibel Grill are whole and are filleted on a daily,as-needed basis.

"That attests to the front-line quality of our fish," he said."We're not depending on someone else to tell us what'sgood."

But having fresh seafood isn't exactly enough to make ita special from-the-sea experience — you have to know howto prepare it. And the Timbers does, according to Blust.Their motto? Keep it simple.

"Everything is moderately done when it comes to prepa-ration," Blust explained. "We make our sauces and chutneysto compliment the fish, not overpower it."

But because the Timbers is so appreciated for seafooddoesn't mean it skimps on anything else. It's still the placefor some of the best steak on the island. The restaurant haswon the Taste of the Islands choice awards for best restau-rant for steaks, as well as seafood, every year since 1983.

And while Timbers may be a favorite for seafood andsteaks, the Sanibel Grill has been a local favorite wateringhole for years now. It's also the place to go on Sanibel ifyou're in the sports mood.

"We have the total sports package," Blust said. "We sub-scribe to all the DSS packages, so you get all the football,basketball, baseball, hockey games. We have everything."

They also have two NFL fan clubs which call the SanibelGrill home. It's been the Green Bay Packers and the NewEngland Patriots homes "forever" but this year, the Pack isback but the Pats are being replaced by the Dawgs — the"new" Cleveland Browns.

"We'll be the Dawg Pound of Sanibel," Blust said, laugh-ing.

With the sports motif, the Sanibel Grill is a more casualdining experience than the Timbers with seafood baskets,

Sanibel Grill also has a nice happy hour — 4-6 p.m. andfrom 10 p.m. to midnight daily with $1 off everythingexcept b'ottled beer.

The Timbers and the Sanibel Grill are located at 703Tarpon Bay Road, across from the Sanibel Post Office. Thetimbers is open from 5-10 p.m. nightly and the Sanibel Grillis open from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. and serves food from 4 p.m.until midnight.

% been rumored that local resortsinibel beaches with purchaseddelight in watching vacationersfind. And traditionally, those whomia — rare because it lives far outin the Gulf — bring it in to thesorter to have their picture taken.LSt week John and Kathrynan, charter members of theitthews Shell Museum, turned inlseum a truly "rare" shell theythe walkway entrance to theirle.e Leal, director of the museum,the shell is an Australian trumpet,cientific name, a Syrinx aruanus.

the Australian trumpet is theitropod or coiled shell mollusk inand can be found only in watersrn Australia. It definitely wouldnind in shell shops — not on the- of these islands.

Kathryn Zimmerman thought that some-one had probably left the shell on the beachand then someone else moved it close to theentrance of Westshore Condominiums,where they found it.

Neal Deynzer at Showcase Shells saidthe Australian trumpet could be worth from$120 to $150 if it is in good condition.

Deynzer said, "A lot of people decorate- with shells ... put them on their patios ...

maybe someone took one as a prank andthen just didn't know what to do with it."

Leal said, "Someone does not just walkalong the beach and this shell drops out oftheir pocket. And ones that size just are notfound today. Someone probably wanted todispose of the shell and didn't know what todo with it.

"A lot of people do dump shells on thebeach and that is a bad practice. Some peo-ple who want to dispose of unwanted shellsfrom their collections dump shells fromother places. People who walk along thebeach find them and get the wrong impres-sion. They think the shells came from off

Outlook improvingfor electrician's sonfighting cancerBy Pattie PaceStaff Writer

As A. J. Kemery gets ready to celebrate his 3rd birthdaynext week, he's learning to use his new prosthetic leg withthe natural wonder of a toddler.

A.J., short for Alan Joshua, had his left leg amputatedat mid-knee late last year to stop the spread of Ewing sar-coma, a rare bone cancer that usually doesn't affect kidsuntil they're between 10 and 20 years old, according to hisdad, Al Kemery, an electrician with Molnar Electric onSanibel.

"We took him home (from HealthPark) and just hadhim wear it without doing anything special. One day, rightout of the blue, he said, 'Daddy, I want to wear my leg,'and ever since then things have been going really, reallygood," Kemery said.

He explained that since A.J. is so young, working witha physical therapist at HealthPark frightened him and,because it's a therapists job to get results, his son felt pres-sured.

Using reverse psychology, Kemery and his wife,Tonya, said little to their son about his prosthetic leg oncethey got him home. The pressure was off and A.J.'s natur-al curiosity and spunk surfaced.

. "He isn't walking by himself yet, but yesterday he didstand up by himself for the first time without holding on,"Kemery said last week. The battle, however, is not over.

A.J. must undergo four more chemotherapy sessionsover the next three to four months. And within days ofeach treatment, nausea and dehydration set in, landinghim back in the hospital. During his recuperation, thefamily usually stays with A.J. at HealthPark or at theRonald McDonald House, a place families with seriouslyill children can stay on the hospital campus.

"They're an inspiration to me," said Kemery's employ-er Jeff Molnar, describing the family's strength, cohesionand positive attitude.

Molnar in turn stepped forward along with PriscillaMurphy Realty to collect money and donations to help thefamily get through the crisis.

No insurance company will cover A.J. because he wasbom with a heart condition, one that will require open-heart surgery when he turns 5 years old, according to hismom.

"Roughly 80 people helped us out. We got a list ofnames and we're going to send out pictures so people cansee where their money and groceries have gone," Kemerysaid.

Though he couldn't estimate the amount of financialdonations, Kemery said he was able to buy a second carfor his wife, a 1986 Buick Century, so he no longer has totake time off from work to transport the family back andforth from the hospital to their Fort Myers home. The restof the money has gone to pay mounting medical bills.

Anyone wanting to make a donation can mail or dropoff a check made out to Al Kemery at Molnar Electric,2244 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL 33957.

According to PTA chairwoman Diane Silhavy,"Sharon was an art teacher up North who wanted to dosomething with the school. ...

"We have different artists every day during lunchtimefor the children to observe. Some artists let the kids par-ticipate. They learn about dance, acrylics and many dif-ferent arrays of artists."

Artists participating in Sharon's Art in the Courtyardthis year included Luc Century and the Jerry Winner jazzquartet.

This week, the children met members of the BarrierIsland Group for the Arts, including Helen Bailer, a bas-ket maker; and Frank Gladowski and Kathy Taylor,watercolor artists. This Friday, Carmen Embry will bedoing poetry illustrations.

Foundation seeks money for schoolISLAND REPORTER • APRIL 29, 1999 • 17

By Gwenda Hiett-ClementsNews Editor

Motivated by proposed cutbacks in school funding fornext year and the addition of the sixth grade to the school,members of the Sanibel School Foundation kicked off theirfund-raising campaign Saturday.

Money contributed to the foundation will provide forstaff, supplies and special programs not funded by the LeeCounty School District. The goal is to raise $180,000.Current spending at the Sanibel School is $3,000 per stu-dent. With anticipated attendance next year at 300 students,successful fund raising would bring the amount to $3,600per pupil.

The foundation was established last year to providefinancial resources for supplemental programs when the OKwas given for expansion of the elementary school to includegrades six through eight. Members of the fund-raising com-mittee — Monica Albert, Mary and Fred Bonderant, BrendaHarrity, Susan Holly, Graham Kortegast and Jacque Owens— have identified three target areas.

The first area includes raising money for staff positionscut for next year. Four part-time assistants — three inkindergarten and one in technology — will cost $36,000. Inaddition, a full-time guidance counselor is needed at a costof $30,000. That would be an increase over the two days perweek funded through the school district. And with foreignlanguage being identified as a priority for middle school stu-dents, the school would like to hire a foreign languageteacher. District dollars are not available for the anticipated$50,000 necessary for that program.

Plans for expanding use of technology — the second areafor financial consideration — include spending up to$40,000 on new computers, printers and software packagesthat will allow students to work in small groups, developmultimedia presentations and begin an-innovative "weathersystem" unit in science studies.

The third area of consideration includes funding for avariety of instructional materials and equipment needed forthe middle school expansion to supplement what the schooldistrict provides. On the "wish list" are a video camera,kindergarten playground equipment, field-trip transporta-tion, a river tank ecosystem, books for the AcceleratedReader program, art supplies, percussion instruments, key-boards, a keyboard amplifier and physical education equip-ment.

In the first of several planned small gatherings, parentsand community members met at the home of Sanibel CityCouncilmember Bill Hillebrandt and his wife Tina lastSaturday evening.

Chairman of the fund-raising committee, Kortegast said,"The PTA provides funds for supplemental materials but

with increasing costs and decreasing funds, now is the timewe must reach beyond what the parents can bring in to theschool and appeal to the community at large. We are look-ing at $100,000 being cut from the school's budget for nextyear. ;

"We don't want (Principal) BarbaraVon Harten stretching pennies and try-ing to decide, what to cut from theschool's programs. Giving to the envi-ronment and the arts on the island hasbecome a tradition. Our dream is tohave giving to the Sanibel School tobecome a tradition."

Von Harten said, "The county has 65schools and the money only goes so far.Parents give of time and money, andeach parent has been asked to con-tribute more, but in those ever-familiarVon Harten

words, 'It takes a village' to raise a child."She pointed out that although island residents pay a

"hefty" amount in property taxes, all funds are sent to edu-cation officials in Tallahassee and distributed across thestate. Of every $28 in tax dollars Sanibel contributes to thestate, only $1 is returned to the island.

To illustrate the advantage of havingexpanded funding, fifth-grade scienceteacher Georgia Brown brought alongtwo students, Brett Shannon arid EmilyCompton, to answer questions aboutwhat they have gained from theschool's special programs.

Shannon demonstrated the Legosremote-controlled vehicle he built usinga special computer software program.He used computer programming to"teach" the device four different modesof operation. If funding is available, heG. Brown

looks forward to participating in a program that will teachrobotics principles so he can create his own robot.

The Sanibel School Foundation is a line item in the bud-get for the Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, a pri-vate foundation not linked to the Lee County School Systembudget. It funds the Golden Apple teacher program. Hollyexplained the Sanibel organization uses the Lee CountyFoundation's tax-exempt status and money donated is fun-neled through its funds directly to Sanibel School.

Contribution checks should be made out to theFoundation for Lee County Public Schools with a notationfor Sanibel School.

Those who wish further information should call PrincipalVon Harten at the school, 472-1617.

Speaking with a soft Louisiana drawl, pioneer home-steader Laetitia Ashmore Nutt revisited Sanibel recently inthe person of Jody Brown recreating the courageous womanwho arrived in 1888 and became an involved and activeislander

Introducing her remarks to Sanibel Historical Village &Museum volunteers at their recognition luncheon, Laetitiagingerly picked up the unfamiliar microphone, which shehandled with some suspicion and said to her audience, "Ahwas told if Ah spoke into this Ah could be heard at the rearof the room "

Blown, who looked the part in a graying wig, steel-rimmed glasses, white blouse with dark skirt and high-but-ton shoes, spoke fiom entries in Nutt's diaries and otherwritings, covenng subjects from fieed slaves to educationvs experience and the honoi of Southern gentlemen

The widowed Mrs Nutt arrived here with hei mothei-in-law, her brother James Ashmore, and three giown daughters— Cordie, Lettie and Nan Each of their group except the

D e p e n d e n c y'Anger'

Most of us don't findanger a comfortable feelingBut it is an important part ofour emotional communica-tion process — an emotionalfact of life that does notrequire justification Inhuman relationships, angersays, "Pay attention to meYou're m my way DangerGive me justice "

Anger is a signal that tellsus we don't like what's goingon It doesn't go away if welgnoie it. It goes "under-ground," where it makessneak attacks on our healthand interpersonal relationships Buried anger can also sui-face the next time an emotional crisis comes along, intensi-fying the impact of that cusis on us

Although we may be afraid of its powei and unpie-dictability, anger can be an energizing force Confrontingand resolving it can harness its eneigy foi constiuctive Ube

Many people use food to pacify unexptessed angci,when confronted with a situation that makes them angiy,they suppress then anger by eating Chronic anger producesa gnawing emptiness that is sometimes mistaken as a hungeifor food We eat to satisfy the "hunger," using food to pushanger down

For compulsive eaters, food is a drug — their means ofcoping with life's disappointments and frustrations Theyeat until the pleasure of food (especially high carbohydratefood) sedates their distress But medicating angry feelingswith food is no moie effective than alcohol or drugs, it sim-ply masks the pioblem So the next time you find yourselfreaching for food, ask yourself "Am I hungry or angry?"

The next few months I'll focus on information to under-stand anger in ourselves and others, and how to effectivelyresolve it

Mayeron From page 1

Don Mayeron tournament, he'll still come up with a golftournament/cancer society fund raiser soon. "This is thefinal 'One and Only,'" he said, referring to the name givento the somewhat wacky tournament that requires partici-pants to tee off from a bar stool and use Don Mayeron's oldwood clubs, among other things.

What Mayeron, who lives on Sanibel and owns theMucky Duck on Captiva, will plan in the future remains tobe seen but he promised to remain involved in fund raisingfor the cancer society, a cause near and dear to his heart."That's still on the table. We're not sure what theme we'regoing to do and we may take a little time off from it. It's safeto say it will be a golf tournament. ... as for it being namedafter my father, after 10 years it's time to let that rest. Thatwas a family decision," he said.

Taking first place in Sunday's tournament was the teamof Arthur Goodman, Arnold Goodman, Richie Peterson andCharles Dufner with 55.

Arnold Goodman was thrilled with the win, especiallyfor his teammate Arthur, who is 86 and only regularly start-ed playing golf a few years ago. Goodman joked that thetwo are not the greatest of players and had a lucky day. "He(Arthur) wants to live to 130 so he can shoot his age,"Goodman said.

Goodman had high praises for teammate Dufner, manag-er of Loggerhead Cay condominiums, and team leaderPeterson, who works for Priscilla Murphy Realty, as well.

"We scored a 55 ... and we beat Matt Asen's team by onepoint," Goodman said.

Asen's second-place team also included Crystal Volk,Larry Thompson of the Lazy Flamingo and local golf proRichard Gilsten of the Forest Country Club.

Mayeron offered thanks all around. "Personally, I don'tknow where to find the words that would express what myheart feels and to thank the people involved, the AmericanCancer Society, the participants, the sponsors, the servicessponsors. It.takes a lot of people to put on such an event,"he said. "For Schnappers Hots to come down and bring itsstaff and serve lunch to everyone. They closed the restaurantfor the day. To all my dear friends in the restaurant business,Larry Thompson, Matt Asen, Kenny (Ruffner) at Gilligan's,Jeff over at the Sunshine Cafe, my chef Jeff to come in anstand over the hot grill and cook duck. That's just the top ofthe cake, when it comes to what everybody does to help thistournament be such a success."

Mayeron also thanked the Dunes Golf & Tennis Club andthe staff there that gave up a Sunday for the tournament,along with Sam Galloway Ford, the title sponsor whichwould have given a car to a player making a hole in one.

Councilmember publishes knitting bookThrows, pillows and moreBy Jill GoodmanStaff Writer

In addition to her position as a member of the SanibelCity Council, a volunteer with various island organizations,a wife and mother of two daughters, Nola Theiss also runs asuccessful business.

Theiss designs knitting patterns for several yarn compa-nies and most recently completed a beautiful color cata-logue for Plymouth Yarn Company.

Her original photographs in the catalog look more" likestill-life art than examples of Afghan colors and styles.Afghans and tote bags in pastel and geometric designs areartfully displayed in private homes on Sanibel and at theSanibel Historic Village & Museum.

Theiss and her husband, Hal, lived in Maryland prior tomoving to Sanibel a few years ago. In 1981 and with a 2-year-old at home, she took a job answering phoned-in ques-tions for a local knitting company.

When the firm learned she spoke French, they made hera translator 6f pattern instructions. As a linguist, it was anatural progression for her to learn the trade vocabulary inseveral other languages.

"I built my (pattern and instruction) company on the ideathat I could translate French, Dutch and Danish instructionsfor the companies and they would never have to see thework until the book was finished.

"I would translate, proofread, typeset, do the desktoppublishing, make negatives of the finished pictures and sendit to the printer. I've done it in 12 languages for many com-panies and still do it for Plymouth," Theiss said.

Handling the photography was second nature to Theiss,since she is also a former high school and community col-lege photography teacher. She learned to knit in high schooland said she has always enjoyed the process.

"It's very relaxing. I can't just sit and watch TV. I have tobe doing something else. I did it to relax and it became myjob," she said..

Theiss' patterns are knitted into Afghans and tote bagswith the assistance of several local knitters.

"The National Knitting Guild meets at the SunTrustBank on most Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. whereabout 12 to 14 women knit together. I am a member butdon't get to go as often as I used to," Theiss explained. "I

Nola T h e i s s

give them a design and instructions, andthey knit. They come back to me withquestions and I adjust the patterninstructions and designs accordingly.When they are finished, I use theAfghans to rewrite the instructions andthen send them to the company. Theyare used for trade-show displays andthen they send them back."

The women knitters are paid by hav-ing their names in the book, with freeyarn or by getting their Afghansreturned to them.

In a program called "Caps for Kids," the knitters createcaps for youngsters all over the country by using leftoveryarn. Recently, they provided caps for children living on anisland near Maine as well as for Appalachian youngsters.

"This year, we were asked to knit hats and mittens for theWhite House Christmas tree and one of the members wasinvited to see the tree," Theiss said.

Theiss' name graces several instructional books, includ-ing one she wrote on how to build a dollhouse. Spurred bythe desire to make a dollhouse for her daughters, she wrotethe book and made three dollhouses.

The largest of the dollhouses is now "on a long-termloan" to the historical village, making an annual appearanceat Christmas time.

Afghans, also called "throws," continue to be popularaccessories in homes across the country. Adding instantcolor to a decor, they also come in handy to ward off a chillyday.

The demand for instructional books and new designs per-sists, and between December of '98 and March of this year,Theiss said she translated four books with 25 patterns ineach.

With unhurried air of one with little to occupy her day,Theiss shared some of her philosophical thoughts aboutkeeping involved.

"When I started this, I had been a teacher and was goingthrough my 'shoot an arrow into the dark' period. Followyour interests and don't limit what you are going to do next.You can't be afraid of failure.

"I didn't plan to be on the city council, I just got inter-ested in a lot of things and didn't assume I couldn't do it."

Theiss' instructional books are in most craft and knittingstores.

Suspense/thriller, Grisham's new novel a winnerB A review"Testament"Doubleday436 pages$27.95

By Jill GoodmanStaff Writer

John Grisham's newest novel,"Testament," is a departure from thestyle of his previous books. Unlike his j # G r i s h a mother works, it's hard to like the protag-onist. Nate O'Riley is a.brilliant lawyer who let too muchbooze destroy his career. His legal firm supported himthrough several stays at rehabilitation centers only to havehim hit the bottle again. He has gone through two wiyes, losthis children and is about to lose his job.

All Grisham's previous books are based upon legal issuesand attorneys who buck the system, ducking threats ofdeath, to right the wrongs. Nate, who has no interest indoing.good for anyone, including himself, is an unlikelycharacter to lead the plot.

The story begins as wily billionaire Troy Phelan's perni-

cious actions leave his children out of his will. .Phelan, in failing health, gathers his.children and their

spouses to his office. A battery of psychologists testifies tohis sanity and the validity of a will in the possession of hisattorney, Joshua Stafford. After the family is cleared fromthe room, Phelan produces a hand-written will, has his attor-ney validate it and jumps out of the window to his death.

The new will leaves his entire fortune to Rachel Lane, achild he had out of wedlock.

Rachel has dropped out of the everyday world to becomea missionary in the jungles of Brazil. With no contact otherthan an annual telephone call to her religious foundation, theyoung woman proves to be a challenge to locate.

Stafford elects to give his former colleague Nate a lastchance to redeem himself and arranges to send him to Brazilto locate Rachel.

Predictably, O'Riley falls off the wagon and although heis unable to communicate in Portuguese, he manages to findthe illusive heiress. Deeply integrated in her primitive soci-ety and totally devoted to God, she has no use for money atall, much less the lifestyle it would provide her.

In fine Grisham style, the plot offers up some surprisesand not a few clever twists. He neatly wraps it all up, as heis wont to do, with an ending guaranteed to provoke a satis-fied "Aha" from the reader.

flrts'Lend Me a Tenor' on stage at Old SchoolhouseBy Jill GoodmanStaff Writer

Meet the man behind the friendlyface at the Old Schoolhouse Theater'sbox office, Dave Yudowitz,

Enamored by show biz as a youngman, Yudowitz did some stand-up com-edy during the years he lived inBrooklyn and on Long Island. Thesedays, in addition to handling ticketsales, Yudowitz can be counted on tostep on stage occasionally as well aslend a hand behind the scenes.

"It's fun. I enjoy working with the theater,"Yudowitz said, adding that he enjoys being infront of a crowd. "When you know you havethem, it's magic."

Yudowitz and his wife Kit took early retire-ment from their positions as teachers in the NewYork school system.

"We moved to Cape Cod and opened a giftshop, which became a fine jewelry shop,"Yudowitz said, admitting he loves retailing andespecially enjoys talking with people.

They made their way, first as visitors, toSanibel in 1978 and as permanent residents sixyears later.

His association with the local theatrical worldsoon followed.

"Kit saw an ad in the paper that the Off BeachPlayers were looking for a technical person," hesaid.

After only one rehearsal, Yudowitz found him-self in control of the lights and sounds. "I didfine," he laughed.

He was associated with the Pirate Playhouseand later the Arcade Theater under artistic direc-tor Bob Cacioppo as house manager and usher. A"can-do" man, he mastered the use of a computerto take the job as box office manager and headvised techno-novices to just try it.

"It's not hard and you don't have to learneverything about computers," he said.

Faced with a long drive to downtown Fort

Yudowitz

Myers and equally long hours on thejob when Cacioppo started the FloridaRepertory Theatre, Yudowitz switchedtheaters and has been with the OldSchoolhouse since December.

"It was a one-person operation butthe number of hours was overwhelming— 12 hours a day five day a week,"Yudowitz said.

His fascination for the theater hasprevailed and Kit, his wife of 28 years,shares his interests.

"Between 1965 and 1975, Kit and Isaw every major play in New York City. The the-ater is magic. Even now that I know what goes onbehind the stage, it's still magic," he said.

Yudowitz delights in the shows produced byEncore Productions' Artistic Director J. T. Smith.Known for his hilarious musical revues, Smith'scurrent show, "Lend me a Tenor," is a scriptedplay.

"It's a comedy about a famous opera singerwho fails to make it on stage," Yudowitz said.

Between love affairs and intrigues, the playtwists and turns in a high humor of zany, roman-tic trysts.

Portions of arias are sung by the talentedactors that include Smith as Saunders, generalmanager of the Cleveland Opera Company; JasonRoss as Max; Unota Lucero as Max's girlfriend;Beth Ellege as Diana; John Vessels as TitoMereilli, world famous tenor, aka II Stupendo;Leanne Braman as Maria; Clement Valentine as abellhop; and Diandre McGee as Julia.

"When J. T. did 'Play On' and 'TheFantasticks,' they were the first scripted showsand we had a lot of sold-out audiences. Scriptedshows work, even in a small theater," he said."I'm amazed at how great a director J. T. is. Hejust floored me. He has great concept and under-stands what the author wants and he has com-mand and a great vision of show."

Yudowitz added that he has "worked withsome directors who are not as calm."

Yudowitz grinned when he admitted he had

Michael PistellaOld Schoolhouse box office managerDave Yudowitz tells a prospectiveticket buyer about the theater's cur-rent production, "Lend Me a Tenor."four lines in die "Fantasticks" last year and mar-vels at the actor's ability to memorize lines.

Nevertheless, he has a part in Smith's nextshow, "Run for you Wife," and will handle boxoffice sales as well.

"People used to say you ought to be in showbusiness ... but it's a tough business. I have nofear of audiences (although) I would rather doextemporaneous speaking than reading a script.

"I like to tell long stories like Bill Cosby ratherthan, 'Take my wife — please.'"

At the Old Schoolhouse Theater's annual NewYear's Eve party, Yudowitz said, "I did my thinghere. If you put a mike in my hand — forget it. Iguess I'm just a ham."

"Lend Me A Tenor" can be seen at the OldSchoolhouse Theater, 1905 Periwinkle Way, at 8p.m. every Wednesday-Saturday through May 22.Additional 2 p.m. matinees will be performedSaturday and Sunday, May 8-9. Tickets are $15.

Youthful artists have showBy Jill GoodmanStaff Writer

A visit to the ait show at the Foundersgallery at the Barrier Island Group for theArts is a treat to the eye and uplifting for thespirit.

"Great Expectations X" is an art exhibitdisplaying the works of talented localyoungsters between the ages of 6 and 17.

Ten years ago, award-winning area artistJean Dean realized there was a need to helptalented youngsters who lacked the means tofurther their art education.

"I was asked by (dance instructor) PattiGare to help children from Dunbar to dostage design for her dances at the BarbaraMann hall. I went to Dunbar and met withnine children assigned to several otherartists and me," Dean recalled. "One of thekids, Carleton White, was very talented. Hewas about 9 years old.

"We worked all day on the set and whenI was ready to go home his fourth gradeteacher approached me and asked me to helpthe child (continue) with his art; his motherdidn't have the money to pay for lessons,"

Even though Dean was working on a 30-year retrospective and in the process ofmoving from Cape Coral to Fort Myers, shewas struck by the need of the talented chil-dren.

"I really debated about doing this. It wasvoluntary on my part and the kids' part.

"I had four youngsters at the old Dunbarrecreation center. And I did it for an entireyear. I gave them the supplies and my time."

Dean said word got around and morekids wanted to join the class.

"These are very talented children. I onlytook ones the teachers recommended andwho couldn't afford to pay for classes," shesaid.

As the classes grew in size, the LeeCounty Alliance of the Arts stepped in andoffered the use of its space.

"The first spring of 1991 we had our firstshow at BIG Arts. At that show, 20 paintingssold on opening day," Dean recalled.

The program flourished and now theOpen Doors Art Classes thrive under thedirection of ait teacher Leo Johnson at the

alliance. Johnson said that over the years atleast 50 kids have taken the classes.

"We have a steady crew who have beenwith the program since Jean started it," hesaid. "We are watching them grow anddevelop as artists. The main reason a kiddrops out is due to transportation problems."

Johnson, who is a well-known figurativeabstract artist, teaches part time atOrangewood Elementary School and at thealliance. They endeavor to keep the classesat 20 students but sometimes make excep-tions, he said, explaining one instance inwhich the mother is taking the class with herchildren.

"Diane Robinson has four children, from8 to 17 years old in the class. We were soimpressed with her (Robinson's) work, weasked her to stay. So now the whole familypaints." Johnson said.

"Carleton White was the reason I startedthis," Dean said. "And in 1994 he was firststudent accepted at the Cypress Lake Centerfor the Arts. Since then he has graduatedfrom Cypress Lake and is attending EdisonCommunity College. He plans to go to theRingling School in the fall."

White also received a $1,000 scholarshipfrom BIG Arts to further his artistic studies.

Dean, who's abstract and figurativeacrylic paintings are in the SyZyGy galleryin Fort Myers, Jan's Art & Antiques onSanibel and the Crossed Palms Gallery onPine Island, keeps her hand in the programfrom an administrative level, but leaves theinstructional part to Johnson and his wifeKrista.

"I'm still involved with the show, but dueto health reasons I can't keep teachingthem," she said, adding that the alliance nowfurnishes the art materials for the children.She cautioned, "This is not for the hobbytype artist, this is not for babysitting; it is forthe youngster who wants to pursue art."

Johnson said 'that all of his studentsintend to continue their education in finearts.

Three pieces have already sold at BIGArts, which is forgoing the normal commis-sion and generously giving the children thefull sale price,

Johnson said that one young artist used

IVe always wanted to takegolf lessons. I hear it's

relaxing."

Tarpon 'fever' strikes earlyBy Gwenda Hiett-ClementsNews Editor

According to local historians, the first tarpon caught any-where with a rod and reel was by W.H. Wood, an anglerfrom New York City, in the spring of 1885 while fishingnear Punta Rassa in the bay between Sanibel and PineIsland.

More than 100 years later, hundreds of "would-beWoods" hunt for the sport-fishing king — known as the sil-ver king because of its flashes of silvery scales as it rolls onthe surface of the water — from here to Boca Grande, hometo nationally famous, and rich, tarpon tournaments.

And according to local anglers, the kings are here earlythis year because of warm waters after an unseasonablymild winter. Brian Baugher, a tarpon angler and president ofthe Sanibel Tarpon Hunters Club, said tarpon fishing rightnow is just like the beginning of June in most years.

"You can find tarpon all down the coast right now, allthrough the bay. It's the best year yet," Baugher said.

Baugher is just one of many local anglers hit with whatthey like to call "tarpon fever," which he said he caughtabout five years ago.

"I began fishing with J.R. Ireland and it has taken me fiveyears to get the hang of tarpon fishing," Baugher said. "Mywife hates tarpon season. I go out about once or twice aweek. You either love or hate tarpon fishing. There's no inbetween."

Three years ago, Baugher, along with Carlene Brennen,Keith McMenamy, Bill Gartrell and Ireland, formed theisland's tarpon club as an offshoot of the Fort Myers BeachTarpon Hunters Club because so many people on islandwere getting "hooked" on tarpon fishing. Today, the grouphas more than 75 members.

The founders recommend joining tarpon clubs and goingtarpon fishing with a guide or an experienced angler to learnthe skill — listen, watch and repeat. To help would-be tar-pon fishermen, area tarpon clubs host tackle clinics andhave guest speaker guides at meetings to otter instruction.The Sanibel Tarpon Hunters meet the last Thursday of the

month from April through September.Brennen, treasurer of the club, pointed out, "It takes time

to perfect your craft. Landing the fish is all in leader control.It goes right; you pull left. You don't have to be a big per-son. It's the skill of the fisherman. You just have to be ableto wear the fish down."

Baugher added, "Patience is the secret to tarpon fishing."He has released more than 60 tarpon in his career. "It's theinitial hookup that you live for. After that, it's all work!"

McMenamy, club secretary, said, "You want to get thefish in as quickly as possible. The longer the fish fight, theybuild up lactic acid and that may kill them. You need lots ofline. Catching is in technique, not strength. You got to showhim who is in control."

Guides say the time to land the tarpon is within 20 to 25minutes of the hit. When tarpon first feel the hook, theyexpend wild energy and exhaust themselves. The angler hasto know when to land the fish before it gets its second wind.

With the aim of today's tarpon sport fishermen to savethe future of tarpon fishing, the rule is to release the fish inthe best possible condition. Florida requires a $50 stampbefore an angler can kill one. Today's fiberglass mountsprovide a conservation-minded option to killing the fish. Allthe fisherman needs is the width, length and girth of the fishto have a mount made. Since tarpon are not an eating fish,tarpon anglers say only a possible record would justifykeeping anything more than a picture.

The appeal of tarpon (megalops atlanticus) fishing is inthe hunt and the challenge. Tarpon fight hard, jump high andrun fast. And they're big. Tarpon in this area commonlyrange from 50 to 150 pounds. The look of the tarpon alsoattracts anglers. Its large protruding eyes, huge bucketmouth, razor sharp gill plates and jutting lower jaw presenta powerful profile. Its brilliant silver scales flash in thewaters as the tarpon roll up for air. They have gills but alsohave an air bladder with blood vessels similar to humanlungs that allows them to take in surface air and survive inmany areas other fish may not. Large pods or groups can beseen flashing their silver sides at water's surface as they rollto take in fresh air.

Special to the ReporterCapt. Jess Messmer, right, who guides out ofthe Bait Box on Sanibel, and his client hold atarpon for a photo last year before its release.

In the spring, tarpon migrate from south to north inFlorida following baitfish and wanner water (at least 75degrees) from the Florida Keys. Tarpon fishing is accessiblefor every angler up to the challenge in this area. Each April,thousands of tarpon migrate to Boca Grande Pass, theacknowledged "Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World," thedeepest channel around, a mile-wide pass with deep feedingholes. Boca Grande guides estimate more than 5,000 tarponare caught and released during the summer season. Manyanglers prefer fishing offshore to avoid the gridlock of theisland passes. McMenamy said there aie more tarpon one tofour miles off Sanibel in the Gulf of Mexico in 12 to 30 feetof water than in Boca Grande Pass, but they are just moreconcentrated there. Tarpon can be sight fished along thebeach just offshore and in the bays in deep grassflats.Tarpon can also be fished from land off the beaches ofCaptiva, North Captiva, and Cayo Costa.

Baugher said tarpon will hit on just about anything,including shiners and pinfish, although theii favorite in thisarea is shad, an oily fish which Baugher said is becoming

Fishing club newsMembers of the Sanibel Island Fishing Club jokingly

revealed one of the best-kept, local, ecological secrets: thatthe Sanibel Causeway islands have altered the flow of thewestward loop current of the Gulfstream so that juvenilelobsters are washed away fiom the Gulf of Maine anddeposited in the Shell Harbor canals.

"Many islanders have covertly enjoyed this gastronomictreat for years," said club president Bob Laswell.

The club's April outing was called "White Fishing Shortsand a Pink Crustacean."

The 1-1/2-pound homards were captured from the docksbehind Judy and Tom Niswonger's home and cooked infresh Maine seaweed along with a plethora of mussels, Thisfeast was served to 40 club members and their friends.

"Fishing and socializing with friends and family is thepurpose of the (Sanibel Island Fishing Club). A traditionalMaine lobster bake was the perfect way to end the season,"Club Vice President Charlotte Cestaro said. "All islanders,snow birds too, are welcome to join us when things pick upin the fall.

difficult to find. With the passage of a statewide referendumNov. 8, 1994 banning gill nets and other entangling nets,some fishermen see a return of tarpon baitfish, such as mul-let.

Tarpon fishing is not high-percentage fishing. The buck-et-sized mouth of a tarpon is lined with rock-hard bonemaking it difficult to hook. When the tarpon feels the stingof the hook, it jerks away, many times sending the hookback to the angler.

A typical fisherman will be lucky to land one or two fishout of 10 hookups. To give the fisherman better braggingrights, the special category of "jumped" tarpon has beencreated. -

Baugher said that in last weekend's Sanibel TarponHunters Club first hunt of the year Slade Sackman caughtthe first tarpon of the season, a 90 pounder. A new clubmember, Joe Sullivan, caugh't and released his first tarponever, Other club members "jumped" four tarpon during theday.

Baugher said, "It's a challenge and we have fun, too. At.. the end of the year, club members get awards for everything

from first tarpon caught to the most caught during season.We meet Saturdays and Sundays at the causeway at 7:30a.m. and fish until about 4 p.m. Then we get together afterthe hunt back at the Sanibel Marina for a picnic."

The legalcolumn

An overview of courtsWe take our court system

as a fact of life. People speakof "taking someone tocourt," "going to court,""being brought into court"and "letting a court decide."But what actual court andwhat judge will hear the caseand render a decision?

Each court has its ownjurisdiction. At times, juris-diction of courts over partic-ular cases may be overlap-ping, yet certain courts haveexclusive jurisdiction overcertain types of cases.

Here in Florida, the firstlevel of the court system isthe county court. As you areundoubtedly aware, here inLee County, the county courtis located in the county seatof Fort Myers. The basicthreshold of jurisdiction forthe county court is that thematter in controversy does not exceed $15,000.Consequently, if you find yourself involved in a relativelysmall matter involving a dispute for that amount or less,you will likely find yourself in county court.

The county court handles certain criminal misdemeanorcases and certain simplified dissolution of marriage mat-ters. In addition, it will handle matters involving the court'sequity powers and, concurrent with the circuit courts, land-lord/tenant matters. The county court also handles small-claims matters, that is claims up to $5,000. The small-claims procedure is very simplified and cost effective.More localized matters involving violations of municipalordinances and county ordinances, including violation ofordinances here on Sanibel and Captiva, wiS be heard bythe county court as well.

The second tier of courts in Florida are the circuit courts,of which there are 20. Lee County, along with Charlotte,Collier Hendry and Glades counties, are in the 20th Circuit.The circuit court for Lee County is also located in FortMyers.

The circuit court handles a much broader range of legalmatters, with substantially more at stake. In addition,appeals from most county court decisions will be heard inthe circuit court. The circuit courts have exclusive, originaljurisdiction of matters involving the settlement of estates ofdecedents and involving guardianship and incompetency.They also have sold jurisdiction over matters involving thetitle to real estate and boundaries of real property/Anotherimportant function that the circuit court provides is to issueinjunctions.

The next level above the circuit court are the five districtcourts of appeal. Here in Lee County, we are in the SecondAppellate District, which also includes several other coun-ties. V

Federal court jurisdiction is a whole other matter.Briefly, it involves matters in dispute of over $75,000, usu-ally between citizens of different states. Here in LeeCounty, such an actio'n could be brought in the U.S. DistrictCourt for the Middle District of Florida.

Generally speaking, the coml you are in may differ fromothers in terms-of the congestion of the court calendar, thecourt fees involved and the number of qualifications of thejudges available to hear your case.
