Arts For ACT coming •next Saturday, Aug. 27Sharon Stone to reprise auctioneer role

By AMY [email protected]

If the turn out at the Arts for ACT auction preview wasany indication, this should be one well-attended event.

You couldn't have fit another person into the RobertRauschenberg Gallery with a shoehorn, so packed wasthe space at Edison College that evening.

Arts for ACT supporters filled the space to get an ideaof what they might like to bid on at next Saturday's auc-tion, and to meet this year's featured artist, Olympic dis-cus champion Al Oerter.

Oerter grew up in New York in the 1950's where hewas exposed to both the growing abstract expressionistmovement, as well as athletics. He and Carl Lewis arethe only athletes to win gold medals in four consecutiveOlympics. Oerter participated in the 1956, 1960, 1964,and 1968 games, setting Olympic and world records eachtime. He was the 1959 Pan Am champion, as well as asix-time U.S. champion, and a member of the Olympicand U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame.

Arts for ACT raises funds for Abuse Counseling andTreatment Inc., an organization dedicated to the elimina-tion of domestic and sexual abuse. They maintain a 24-hour hotline, a safe house, and offer counseling, crisisintervention for Lee, Hendry, and Glades counties.

In addition to the annual art auction, which drawscrowds from all over the country, ACT owns and oper-ates the Second ACT Boutique and Thrift Store in RoyalPalm Square, and the Arts for ACT Fine Art Gallery &Studio in downtown Fort Myers.

Last year's auction had been postponed for threemonths, first by the hurricanes, and then by schedulingconflicts at Harborside Convention Center, resulting in asomewhat lackluster event.

This year though, auction regulars are predicting areturn to a gala evening, due in large part to the return of.Sharon Stone as celebrity auctioneer. Stone last served as

Lee Sheriff visitsBy GARY [email protected]

Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott spoke to Sanibel CityCouncil at their Tuesday meeting. City leaders askedScott to attend the meeting and give a briefing on whathis department is doing to promote safety and trafficcontrol on the causeway while the new one is underconstruction.

Scott said most of the sheriff's department marinepatrol activity takes place near the Sanibel Causeway;He said Global Positioning System (GPS) trackers areinstalled on their vessels to track their location andmovement. He presented an illustration which showed avast majority of the patrols are indeed around the cause-way.

"I know there's been some concerns and issuesregarding the causeway," Scott said. "One way we canclearly help patrol the island is by water."

Scott _said his departmeiit.also has two airplanes andtwo helicopters.

"We- fly missions over the barrier islands," he said."Just the other day we flew over. From time to time ouraircraft are called to assist on the islands."

Scott said a third way the Lee County Sheriff'sDepartment can niake their involvement known is theold-fashioned way, with patrol deputies in markedunits.

"We have tried to increase our presence on thecauseway," he said. "I want to assure the members ofthe community and the council that we'll continue to tryto be vigilant on the causeway. It doesn't seem like it'sever enough in law enforcement. It's difficult to beeverywhere at all times."

Sanibel Police Chief Bill Tomlinson said he appreci-ates the cooperation of Scott and his department.

"We work very well together and have a great work-ing relationship, not only with individual officers but ondifferent levels" he said. "From homeland security allthe way down to patrolling the streets. We back eachother up. I appreciate all the assistance the sheriff givesus."

Council approves LCEC franchiseBy GARY [email protected]

Lee County Electric Cooperative will continue pro-viding Sanibel with electricity under a new 30-year fran-chise agreement approved by council following a lengthydiscussion at their Tuesday meeting.

Mayor Carla Johnston expressed concern over thelength of the franchise agreement, stating that with tech-nology moving forward at a rapid pace, a 30-year con-tract may be too restrictive. Lewis Walton of LCECresponded.

"If we, for some reason, don't meet our obligationsunder this agreement, it's covered in Section 8 that it willessentially cancel this transaction," he said. "We do havesome time to comply, but I thought it was important tonote that if for some reason our performance changes andwe become a problem for you, you have the ability to getout of this agreement."

Walton said LCEC is not a producer of power, but adistributor.

"We buy that power on your behalf. Right now wehave an agreement with Seminole Electric Cooperative,"he said. "We don't actually make any money off of theactual power that is sold to you. We simply have a prod-uct that's provided by our power supplier, we negotiatethat with them. We then set our rates in order to pay forit and anything that's left from that is returned throughour equity program. A lot of you have probably seen

some checks over the years."Walton also said the franchise agreement is "nonex-

clusive," meaning the city could do business with anoth-er power provider.

"If you have another opportunity and you want some-one else to provide distribution services, that would bethere within the frame of the agreement," he said, "it'snot exclusive. I think that's important to point out."

Walton said electric customers who have the ability togenerate more electricity than they use, through solarpanels or other means, can sell their excess power to theproducer.

"If a person is able to generate power that goes backto the system's benefit and generates more than what thelocation accommodates or uses, then you have the abili-ty to be compensated for that for putting it back out onthe system," he said.

Councilman Steve Brown said the "cooperative" orga-nization of LCEC makes it a good relationship.

"The bottom line of all of it is ... we are Lee CountyElectric Coop and Lee County Electric Coop is us," hesaid. "We elect the representatives for Lee CountyElectric Coop, so they are our best source. They doeverything with our best interests at heart."

Brown noted LCEC's good track record with the city,especially after Hurricane Charley when power wasrestored relatively quickly after the storm.

The council approved the agreement by a unanimous5-0 vote.

Segway use by disabled considered by councilBy GARY PHILLIPSgphillips@breeze newspapers.com

Saflibel City Council again discussed Scgways attheir Tuesday meeting. The devices have been bannedfrom Sanibel's shared-use paths except when used in aguided tour, but Councilman Jim Jennings raised thequestion of permitting the vehicle's use by the dis-abled. Jennings asked that the mailer he included onthe council agenda,

"People with disabilities are members of our soci-ety and have the right to remain within their local

community," Jennings said. "There are over 54 millionpeople in America with disabilities. People with dis-abilities should have the equal opportunity to enteractivities with people who do not have disabilities."

Jennings referred to the Americans WithDisabilities Act (ADA).

Planning commission grants dock variances! By GARY PHILLIPS» [email protected] The Sanibel Planning Commission granted two vari-

ances for the construction of residential boat docks dur-ing their August 8 meeting.

The first application considered by the commissioninvolved a proposal by two neighbors. Richard Jttermanand Richard J. Mikes, to build a dock behind their homeson Whelk Drive in the Shell Harbor subdivision. The

. plan calls for the dock to have three ''lingers" extendinginto the canal behind the homes and would include twoboat lifts. The dock would be built across the commonproperty line.

Other boat clocks in the area are required to be builtparallel to the seawall along the canal, but theItterman/Mikes plan has their dock being built with thefingers extending into the canal perpendicular to the sea-wall. The applicants said such a configuration is neces-sary because their lots are at the end of the canal and thewater is too shallow to build the dock up against the sea-wall. City code restricts docks from protruding morethan 20 percent across the canal. The proposed docks,approximately 25 feet in length, would take up 31 per-cent of the canal, Jim Jordan of the planning departmentsaid.

Jordan spoke to the commission and gave a recom-mendation of approval for the variances, if 17 listed con-ditions are met.

One interested property owner, neighbor CharlesBrizzolara, spoke to the commission and protested thedock. Brizzolara said he traveled from his other home inChicago to attend the meeting, and that the docks wouldruin his view and the value of his property. He saidIlterman and Mikes should have considered the shallowdepth of the canal before they purchased their homes.

"Anyone purchasing a lot at the end of a tidal canal,especially a canal that is relatively narrow, should have

observed immediately that this isn't a place for boaters.There just isn't room," Brizzolara said. "To my knowl-edge there is nowhere else in Shell Harbor where thereis a perpendicular pier. They are all parallel."

Commissioner John Veenschoten said anyone with acanal behind their home should expect to find boatsthere.

"A canal view is normally boats," he said. "That'swhy people want a home on the water."

Mikes said that neither he nor Itterman own boats butboth would like to purchase boats in the near future, inthe "25 to 30 foot" range. Brizzolara said he also has noboat, but he, his heirs or subsequent owners of the prop-erty may want to have a boat some day.

Veenschoten made a motion, with a second fromMike Bilheimer, to approve the variances. The motionpassed 5-1, with Commissioner Patty Sprankle castingthe only no vote. Commissioner Mike Valiquette wasunable to attend and was granted an excused absence.

Another variance for a boat dock and lift at a resi-dence on Osprey Court was also granted with far lessdiscussion. The application was submitted for propertyowners Grove and Jean Ely. Roy Gibson of the planningdepartment said the staff recommended the variances begranted. The motion passed unanimously.

The commission also discussed their next meetingdate. The city council will again hold a special budgetmeeting on the planning commission's next regularlyscheduled meeting day of August 23. The commissionvoted to omit the meeting from their schedule and meetagain on their next regular day, September 13.

Founder's DayThe Sanibel City Council discussed the idea of a

"Founder's Day" at their Tuesday meeting. The matterwas introduced by Mayor Carla Johnston. In a memo toher fellow council members, Johnston said Sanibel is theway it is because of the island's early residents.

"Places like Sanibel don't just 'happen.' To 'found' orreplicate a Sanibel takes time and dedication from manyindividuals in many sectors of society," the memo stated."Founder's Day could evolve in many ways over futureyears. Now, we are fortunate to have with us a few of thefounders of our city. In the future, we may recognize peo-ple who are a driving force behind new accomplishmentsimportant in preserving the character of Sanibel Island."

Johnston suggested Grace Whitehead to be the firstrecipient of a Founder's Day Award, to be presented earlythis fall. Whitehead, Johnston said, was instrumental inraising money for me island's first bike paths and hasalways strived to keep Sanibel's small-town characterintact. Subsequent award recipients will be nominated andgo through a selection process, Johnston suggested.

The Arts for ACT 2005 Fine Art Auction is August20, at the HArborside Convention Center, downtownFort Myers. Registration and silent auction runs from5:30 to 7:45, the voice auction begins at 7:30.Admission is $75.

TOLLSFrom page 1

The semi-annual combo unlimited plan will be reducedfrom $650 to $500 and the semi-annual combo prepaid.arrangement will go from $99 down to $74.

According to the press release from the Lee CountyDepartment of Transportation, "the reduction in dis-count tolls is possible because of the settlement of theCity of Sanibel's lawsuit against the county and theability of the county to obtain permanent financing forthe $127 million project in June at favorable rates."

The subject came up at the city council's Tuesdaymeeting. Councilman Steve Brown said the citydeserves a large part of the credit for the toll reduction,and made a motion that a resolution be approved statingso.

"This is not coming out of the goodness of LeeCounty's heart. Part of dropping the lawsuit is that theywould consider dropping the tolls," he said. "There wasno need for them to raise the tolls as high as they did.This was done in large part because of our willingnessto drop the suit."

Vice-mayor Mick Denham said any resolutionpassed by council should convey an affirmative mes-sage.

"Any message we put forth should be a positive mes-sage, no matter how we feel about the past," he said.

The council agreed to have the city staff draft a res-olution showing their appreciation to the county.

By Bob JanesLee County Commissioner

Since the announcement that a pri-vate developer plans to buy BabcockRanch, the level of concern seems tohave increased considerably about itsfuture, how it might be developed andwhat impact that could have on the restof Lee County. We've all heard about(he Babcock family's proposal a fewyears ago for some 19,000 homes there,and speculation by real estate and devel-opment pundits that a town will besprouting up has a number of peoplealarmed. But don't look for bulldozersjust yet. A developer who buys a pieceof property doesn't just roll in and startbuilding, and that's especially true witha property as large and with as manyconsiderations as the Babcock properly.

The fact is: no one knows ycl whatthe proposal will be-probably not eventhe developer knows for surc-and once aplan is presented, il will face significantscrutiny and most likely a long, arduousprocess before anything might beapproved. Pians for anything resem-bling a town would have to go through awhole battery of state agencies and sev-eral public hearings before the Board ofCounty Commissioners makes any deci-sions. And because most of the propertylies in Charlotte County, it will face asimilar process there.

Depending upon the proposal, itcould have to go through rezoning hear-ings and a Development of RegionalImpact (DRJ) review. What's more,unless it adheres to Lee County'sComprehensive Land Use Plan, it willhave to get an amendment to the plan,and (hat's not an easy task.

Here's how itworks:

In order toplan for long-term needs,such as roads,utilities and soforth, the coun-ty has to beable to antici-pate how eacharea will devel-op, so it has acomprehensiveland use plan(called the Lee

Plan) that outlines what kinds of landuses are allowed where, and at whatdensity and intensity of use. For exam-ple, in the middle of a town, you wouldexpect a lot of homes in a fairly smallarea alongside professional offices andrestaurants. In a rural area, houses aremore spread apart,. and uses mightinclude things like agriculture and min-ing.

A developer who proposes to signifi-cantly change those uses has to applyfor an amendment to the Lee Plan, aprocess that's dictated by Floridastatute.

First of all, the party submits anamendment application to the county,

which is reviewed for "sufficiency,"meaning it contains enough informationfor county staff to review it and makerecommendations. It has to be a verythorough, well thought-out document,considering all impacts the project islikely to have-on the environment andthreatened wildlife species as well asroadways, schools, water and sewer ser-vices and just about any other imagin-able element. It also has to present wayslo mitigate those impacts.

In a separate process, incidentally, ifa project is designated a Developmentof Regional Impact (DRI) -meaning itseffects will be felt beyond the immedi-ate area in terms of environment, waterrequirements, roads; or other infrastruc-ture or repercussions-then it goesthrough a review by the SouthwestFlorida Regional Planning Council, andit is ultimately heard by' the Boards ofCounty Commissioners of affectedcounties.

Back to the Lee Plan amendment: ifthe application is deemed "sufficient,"then county staff reviews the informa-tion and then provides a report that goesto the Local Planning Agency (LPA), astate-mandated body. (Lee County'sseven-person LPA includes members ofsuch professions as land-use planningand architecture.) With complicatedproposals, it is not uncommon for coun-ty staff to take it to the LPA more thanonce; and at least one public hearing isalso required.

-The LPA's recommendations are pre-sented to the Board of CountyCommissioners at a second public

It's our harbor too

Ray Judah

By Ray judahLee County Commissioner

Peopie come to LeeCounty for the natural beauty- our pristine beaches andsuperb fishing are one-of-a-kind. And, considering thattwo-thirds of the CharlotteHarbor is in Lee County, wehave many reasons to protectthis valuable natural resource.

Charlotte Harbor con-tributes more than $1 billionannually to our region. In LeeCounty alone, one in threetourists fish in Charlotte Harbor, and onein five residents fish in the Harbor - so it'seasy to see why the tourism industry inLee County should care about keeping theHarbor healthy. Right now, the Harbor isteeming with fish - but that could changeif phosphate mining upstream proceedswithout the proper checks and balances.

Lee County has begun a working part-nership with Charlotte County to ensurethat any proposals to strip mine for phos-phate in southwest Florida are doneresponsibly, and take environmentalimpacts into consideration. Together, Leeand Charlotte Counties are reaching out tothe community. Through County offices,local libraries, and the local Chamber ofCommerce, we're working to educate ourcommunity about the phosphate risk - andwhat it means to Lee County.

We cannot take chances with our natur-

al resources. Once polluted,fish populations wili decline,and people will no longercome as often or as iong asthey did before. When waterflows are reduced, we maynot be able to detect the

. impacts to fish, crab andshrimp, until it's too late. Itmakes economic and envi-ronmental sense to protectthe integrity of the Harbor.

According to EconomistDr. James Nicholas, a loss offish habitat of just 1-4 percentwould result in the loss of

between 1,500 and 6,100 jobs in ourregion. So many people depend on thehealth of the Harbor - from boat shopsand bait shops to hotel chains and restau-rants. But Lee County's economic vitalitycannot be ensured without a healthyHarbor, which means that we need tomanage mining operations in a sensibleway. Simply put, we have too much atstake.

Recently, there have been proposals tostrip mine the headwaters of Horse Creek,which feeds directly into the Peace River,and then flows into the Charlotte HarborEstuary. For Lee County strip miningthreatens the quality of our water, the fishthat depend on it and the tourism industrythat relies on both. It's a risk we have tomanage.

hearing. The purpose of this "transmit-tal hearing" is for the BoCC to decidewhether to transmit the proposedamendment to the Florida Departmentof Community Affairs.

Sitting as a legislative body, theBoCC has no obligation to transmit theamendment; it can decide simply toadhere to the Lee Plan as it stands.

If a majority of commissioners votesto transmit, then the application, staffreport and recommendations from theLPA and BoCC are forwarded to theDepartment of Community Affairs(DCA) as well as to a half-dozen or soother state agencies, including theDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection, South Florida WaterManagement District, Florida Fish andWildlife Commission and several oth-ers. All those agencies weigh in on theproposal, and others-including theConservancy of Southwest Florida,Audubon Society and Florida WildlifeFederation-are also welcome to submitcomments and considerations.

The DCA puts all those commentstogether in an Objections,Recommendations and Comments(ORC) report. DCA may comment ornot, object or not-even to the point ofsaying "don't adopt the amendment"-butif it does object, it generally has recom-mendations on how to address what itobjects to. The ORC report then goes tothe county.

Depending on the number and natureof the comments and objections, county

staff may meet with representatives ofthe various agencies and consider mod-ifications. The objections might simplybe timing, or impacts on, for example,panther habitat.

Staff has two months to respond byrecommending adoption of the amend-ment as submitted, not adopting it, oradopting it with

modifications, and a third mandatedpublic hearing, called the "AdoptionHearing," is held before the Board ofCounty Commissioners.

Right now, the Lee Plan allows onedwelling unit per 10 acres in theBabcock area, as allowed under the cur-rent agricultural zoning. If the intentionis to increase the number of homes thereor compress them beyond what's cur-rently allowed, the developer will haveto request a Lee Plan amendment and arezoning, which is another process thatgoes before the Board of CountyCommissioners.

The BoCC does not sit as a legisla-tive body, but as a "quasi-judicial" bodyin rezoning hearings. The petitioner hasto present "competent and sufficientevidence" that the project is within theparameters of the Land Use Plan-that itdoesn't exceed density, for

example-and that it's compatible withneighbors, among other points. TheBoCC hears the evidence and thenmakes a ruling.

The governmental process is basedon a process that invites and considersinput from any and all stakeholders-par-ticularly the public.

It isn't always an easy one to getthrough, and in cases like the potentialdevelopment of Babcock Ranch, whereso much is at stake, that's precisely theintent.

breaking the law."City Attorney Ken Cuyler said

S eg way usage is not guaranteed underthe ADA, and the city has compliedwith the act in every regard.

"We're obviously well aware of thelaw and try always to adhere to it,"Cuyler said. "If it is council's wish wecertainly can go back to try to draftsomething a little more formal regard-ing the aspect of city operations thatyou would like to take a look at."

Police Chief Bill Tomlinson reportedthat exceptions have been made to thecity ordinance banning motorized con-veyances on the paths, but they havebeen very rare.

"It's important to have some kind ofguidelines so we know how to enforceit. Set up parameters and identify whatkind of equipment can be used. Thatwould make my job a lot easier," hesaid. "I would feel more comfortablewith a specific set of guidelines."

Tomlinson said one exception hasbeen made allowing a golf cart on thepaths after the user proved it was heronly means of transportation. Cuylersaid wheelchairs are covered under theADA. but Segways are not.

"There are certain things that areclear we should do and certain otherthings we don't have to do and probablyshouldn't do," he said. "As with most

complex issues, the middle ground, thegray area, is what causes all the conster-nation."

Councilman Steve Brown said theSegway ban is not discriminatory.

"As far as I'm concerned, theAmericans With Disabilities Act doesnot apply in this case," he said. "Theone thing I know of and I feel comfort-able with is the electric wheelchair.Certainly that is very accepted in themedical community."

"Anyone who is willingto use a wheelchair on

the shared-use pathshas no choice/'...

Councilman Tom Rothman saidwheelchair users normally have noother options.

"Anyone who is willing to use awheelchair on the shared-use paths hasno choice," he said. "It's not somethingthey necessarily want to do."

Mayor Carla Johnston suggestedstudying the opinions of major medicalorganizations regarding Segways andtheir potential benefits for the disabledbefore making any quick decisions.

The council directed the city staff tofurther investigate the status of Segwaysand their use by the disabled in otherareas.

Memo fromMayor Carla B. Johnston

Do you prefer the cityyou live in to be like owninga Yugo or owning a Lexus —or something in between?Choices for city services areas important as your choiceof car to your quality of life.On the 23rd, Council discuss-es the city budget.

Council is shopping forthe best deal. We've decidedto spend less than last year--dropping the millage rate from 2.5 to 2.4mills per thousand dollars of propertyvalue. The average property valued at$521,000 will pay about $1,250 for cityservices.

What policies underlay the allocationof funds — (like the warranty on a car)?

Council will spend as little as possi-ble to provide the level of service con-sistent with traditional Sanibel values.Staff provides reports on problems.Council debates the level of need, andevaluates alternatives. We choose theappropriate solution, and then determinethe best way to spread costs among allwho benefit, rather than overburdeningSanibel taxpayers.

One check on the appropriate levelfor the FY '05-'06 budget is determininghow much of the millage increase from1.729 mills two years ago to 2.5 last yearis an aberration. Is our proposed taxreduction prudent? Or, can we cut morewithout jeopardizing traditional Sanibelservice levels? How much have ourtaxes gone up because of loss of cause-way revenue, loss of weigh station rev-enue, hurricane debt, and increases incosts ranging from health insurance topetroleum products? Do computeriza-tion advances require increased cost?

Another check on the bottom-line bal-ance for the budget is to measure rev-enues against expenditures. But it's com-plicated. We're setting the tax level, yetover 60 percent of our revenue comesfrom sources other than the property tax.Grants arrive at non-scheduled dates.Unspent budgeted expenditures aretransferred to the next year. Can we learnby asking how our budgeting compareswith standard private sector practices?

That's also complicated. For example,corporate budgeting encourages a largegeneral fund balance. 'Sunshine' is notemphasized because it would reveal one'sstrategy to one's competitors. Corporatephilosophy is to provide stockholder prof-its and resources for new opportunities.Public sector budgeting is far more strict.'Sunshine' is the essence of public budget-ing — assuring a skeptical public that taxdollars are spent wisely. Consequently, we

keep designated funds likethe one for environmentallysensitive land, the reservesfor future disaster recoveryand for employee pay adjust-ments. Sanibel won a NorthAmerica award for publicaccounting practices a fewyears ago—indication thatour system stands up to out-side scrutiny. What else canwe learn?

Does the budget detailindicate places to cut? The

average taxpayer spends about $750 onstandard features of public service likepublic safety, natural resource manage-ment, upkeep for roads, public ways,parks and beaches and we buy culturaland recreation services. The standardpackage also includes the 'glue' that holdsthings together: management, computersystems, financial, legal and planning ser-vices, staff, equipment and facilities. Andwe pay for capital improvements and debtservice on long term loans. $300, roughly,pays for an impressive upgrade in stan-dard features — a healthy increase in ourdisaster reserve, ample payback of'Charley' debt, and a set-aside for neededrecreation facilities.

As with buying a car, the optionalfeatures make our city special. Becauseoptional features make a car unique,they become no longer really optional.For example, the FY 'O5-'O6 budgetallocates roughly $100 of the average$1,250 tax bill for shared use path main-tenance and improvements includingabout $17 for the right-of-way to move adangerous path to a safer locationbehind Periwinkle stores. There's $3 forhazardous waste removal, $3 for historicvillage utilities upgrades, $1.50 for BigArts parking lights, $4.50 for animproved web page, roughly $9 for aperson to focus on in-season traffic solu-tions and $29 to begin the redevelop-ment study. Just $29 will pay for firstphase of vegetation restoration whereneeded on Periwinkle Way.

So, what will you buy? A Yugo? ALexus? Something in between? Where'sthe line between the survival servicelevel and the solid conservative fiscalmanagement that controls cost, contin-ues to offer quality services, ensuresresources for emergencies, and pre-serves flexibility to take advantage ofunforseen opportunities?

Council welcomes your input. If youcan't come to Council meetings, emailus at [email protected]'t forget to look at the entire draftbudget at www.mysanibel.com or inthe Library.

Budget review lasts through lateSeptember.

To the EditorsOne of my pleasures on Sanibel (sim-

ilar to that of many Sanibelians) was aneveryday bike ride — from my home to.the post office — under the Periwinkleshared use path's cooling canopy oftrees. Charley turned that into an infre-quent, uncomfortable bicycle journeyunder the blazing sun.

The stripping of trees and other veg-etation also stripped Periwinkle of someof its bird and animal life. Another plea-sure was to see and hear the awe of vis-itors picked up at the airport as wedrove from the causeway road ontoPeriwinkle and its lush green covering.Charley changed that initial specialvisual impression for visitors, as well.

The* city council is consideringwhether or not to include in the budgeta proposal of $250,000 (with the possi-bility of adding state grants) to beginrestoration of some of the PeriwinkleWay tall vegetation lost to Charley.While nature has made excellentprogress in regrowing a lot of the lostvegetation, many places have not andwill not regain any or more than a littleof what was lost. While council is to becommended for its dedication to fiscalresponsibility, civic responsibility sug-gests that this particular item, restora-tion of the Periwinkle corridor — oneof the amenities that made this islandspecial for its residents and an attractivelure for its visitors — is worthy ofapproval.

— Robert MilliardSanibel

To the Editor:At a Council Meeting one month ago,

Council Member Steve Brown stated:"Sanibel's pathways are unsafe. Period."

I want to say "I agree 100 percent withCouncil Member Brown!"

I want it clear; I am not against handi-capped people or Segways. I am againstSegways on Sanibel's unsafe paths. This isa safety issue!

Here are some facts against the use ofSegways by disabled people.1) The US Consumer Product Safety

Commission has not approvedSegways for handicapped users.

2) The American Academy of Pediatricsis against Segways being used aroundchildren and older people on publicwalkways and trails.

3) Segway's spokeswoman, Carla Vallonesaid the Segway was not designed forthe disabled community. But now thedisabled people are being used toexpand the use of Segways on Sanibel.

4) Everyone should understand, disabledpeople are not denied use of Sanibel'spaths, they already have access withelectric wheel chairs.

I understand the City Council wants tohelp Sanibel's businesses, but we shouldnot compromise Sanibel's residents andtourists safety for the sake of business.

Also, Segways on Sanibel Public pathsis a Sanibel issue. Please do not let peoplefrom other citiestell us what to do, our con-ditions are different from other cities. I willrepeat what Steve Brown so clearly said:Sanibel's pathways are unsafe. Period!

Thank you.— Pedro Ponce, M.D.

Coping with Market VolatilityBy Caleb A. LowmanSpecial to the Island Reporter

Periods of increased stock marketvolatility, when securities prices tend tosharply rise or fall within a relativelyshort period of time, make many investorsunderstandably uncertain. Whether youare currently "in the market" or are con-sidering entering, you've probably beenwondering: "What's the best course ofinvestment action to take during periodsof unsettled market activity?"

Don't OverreactIt's somewhat of a cliche to say that

two emotions — fear and greed — arethe driving forces behind a good deal ofstock market activity. During a bullmarket, as share prices rise, someinvestors develop a false sense of confi-dence regarding future price levels andbelieve that nothing short of catastrophewill stop the continuing upward trend.In their zeal, they erroneously projecttheir short-term gains into an uncertainand long-term future.

On the other side of this coin lies thedisappointment that may set in whenev-er market values start to drop within arelatively short period. During thesebear markets, some investors overreactand begin imagining a loss of their nesteggs due to lower share prices. Theymay even begin selling their holdings inthe fear that prices may fall even further.

It's important, however, for individualinvestors to view market volatility in! itsproper perspective. Swings in stock mar-ket prices, even those lasting a fewmonths or years, generally should not beallowed to disrupt your long-term invest-ment strategy. Why? It's simple.Historically speaking, long-term invest-ing has tended to smooth out many of thefits and starts that can cause investors somuch short-term discomfort.

Focus on Long-Term ObjectivesSetting a middle course, one that

avoids both bullish euphoria and bearishdespair, can help individual investorskeep their long-term financial objec-tives in sight. A focus on long-term

objectives also helps avoid the tempta-tion of trying to predict what the finan-cial markets will do tomorrow, nextweek or next month. Long-terminvestors realize that even investmentprofessionals cannot always accuratelypredict short-term market movements.

Adopting a long-term Investmentphilosophy also helps guard againstover-reacting to business stories thatappear in the newspapers or othermedia. Regardless of whether suchnews is generally thought to be "good"or | "bad," always consult with aFinancial Advisor to evaluate the poten-tial \ impact of these developments onyouf overall investment plan.

Review Your Strategy PeriodicallyReviewing your financial strategy at

leas^ yearly is yet another way of help-ing you cope with market volatility. Asyou!review, make sure your investmentplan takes into account your age andinvestment timeline, as well as yourfinancial resources and tolerance forrisk!

At least for the foreseeable future,occasional spells of ^tock marketvelatility are probably unavoidable.However, following a long-term finan-cial (plan can help you to weather thestorin.

By JENNY BURNHAMjburnham@breezenewspapers,com

Dorothy Wallace, web site designer for Sanibel'sZebis information technology firm, advises that youneed not jump into an e-commerce web site to have asuccessful Internet presence.

"Just a web site that would provide information willdo," she said. For small retailers, in fact, an e-com-merce site may be impractical, as inventory changes soquickly that posting merchandise offerings becomes anexercise in futility.

"A site that describes your services and productsand gives contact information can be very useful," saidWallace.

"But don't let the site sit idle. Use it to showcasespecial offerings. Not discounts necessarily, but youcan add a box that tells customers 'think about thisspecific thing,' for items that your clients might beinterested in."

For example, an art gallery can highlight the workof a few artists by posting digital pictures to a page onthe gallery's web site, then sending out a card orbrochure inviting clients to visit the site to see what iscurrently available.

A site will not "magically" help a business, saidWallace. "You have to advertise and promote it."

Wallace recommended you ask those who come intoyour business to leave an email address, and then usethe list to contact customers. Put the site name on allyour literature, do physical mailings, and seek out sitesthat will negotiate reciprocal links, she said.

A reciprocal link, Wallace explained, will allow vis-itors to a different site to click on a link that will takethem directly to your site, and vice versa.

But, she said, "Make sure it's a true quid pro quo.Think it through. And be sure the outgoing link will letvisitors return to your site."

Zebis will build you a web site for $75 an hour, afigure surprisingly below local market prices.

"Most people start off on price," said Wallace, "butcome to consider other points. How does it look? Is iteasy to read? Is the site easily accessible? How can theuser contact you after visiting the site? And you shouldhave a very specific main page that gives succinctinformation about your business right up front."

Most importantly, your developer should make surethat the site can be accessed by any user on the WorldWide Web, and that it looks exactly the same in everybrowser on the Internet.

Most sites are designed for Internet Explorer run-ning on a Windows platform, noted Wallace, but"Windows is glitchy and prone to viruses," she said,which is why Zebis does not use or support MicroSoftproducts.

When discussing a new web site with a client,Wallace delves into the image the client wants to pro-ject. She avoids the flashy in favor of the classy, shesaid, and the sites she designs are colorful and simple.

"We can do anything," she said, "but we want todevelop a solution for the client. Let's analyze what theneed is. It's like building a house, you want to talk toyour architect so that person knows what you want.

"Your web site should make a visitor say, I want todo business with this company," said Wallace. "It's likean office that the public walks into. You want carpet onthe floor, and to keep things comfortable and welcom-ing."

You should also use other tools to get the word outabout your business and your web site. Try a mailingof brochures or fliers that advertise your web siteaddress.

You can produce such literature yourself, Wallacesaid, by investing in hardware and software. Put yourmoney into a high-quality printer, and purchase a goodgraphics program.

"Once you've learned how, you're home free," saidWallace.

As for emails, be very specific and target yourrecipients carefully. "Some people are not going toopen email attachments," warned Wallace.

What about placement on search engines?Don't worry about it, advised Wallace. "There's an

algorithm that your developer can use to place you

EXPERIENCE

with the major search engines, but even then, younever know where you're going to wind up."

Wallace recommends simpler methods of getting theword out, like, "Tell everybody you know," she saidwith a smile.

For example, one of Wallace's clients was selling amillion dollar house and wondered how he could getpeople to visit his site. "Put an ad in the New YorkTimes," Wallace told him.

Wallace recently developed a site for a local pho-tographer. Once the site was in production, the pho-tographer's wife emailed everybody in her addressbook, asking each recipient to take a look at the siteand then email the URL to another person.

"In just three days customers were ordering pho-tographs," Wallace said proudly, "and it was all wordof mouth."

Once your site is up and running, don't let it becomestatic. Make updates, even small ones, often.

"You want to encourage your customers to revisitthe site, to bookmark it and go back to it frequently,"Wallace said.

State and federal quotas now differ on red grouperBy Bob [email protected]

Sometimes, even the experts can look at the same setof numbers and come to completely different conclu-sions. The red grouper fishery in the Gulf of Mexico pro-vides a recent example. When sport fishermen landedabout 3 million pounds of red grouper last year, federalregulators declared that quotas had been exceeded andthe fishery was threatened. Tighter regulation would berequired.

Meanwhile, their Florida counterparts suggested that abigger catch of red grouper simply meant there weremore fish to catch. Their conclusion: the fishery was indecent shape and could continue under its existing regu-lations.

Public hearings followed, which offered unhappycharter boat captains a chance to vent at regulators. Redgrouper is one of the most important food and sportfish caught in the Gulf of Mexico, so any restric-tions on its harvest will affect many people'spocketbooks. Ultimately, both sides had toagree to disagree, and the feds institutedtheir tougher regulations effective Aug. 9.

Meanwhile, restrictions in statewaters — anything up to nine nauticalmiles from shore — will remainunchanged. Federal waters go out to200 nautical miles in the gulf. (A nauti-cal mile is about 6,076 feet, or approxi-mately 15 percent longer than a statutemile.)

The most drastic change in the federalrules will be a two-month halt to recreation-al grouper fishing in November andDecember. This has proven a particularly sorepoint with charter boat skippers, considering thatNovember and December are prime tourist months.Also, as of Aug. 9, sport fisherman are allowed to take nomore than one red grouper a day, and no more than threegrouper of any shallow-water species. The old bag limits

were two red and five total."This will create some enforcement challenges," said

Chris Smith, public information officer for the NationalMarine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in St. Petersburg.

The new federal regulation is a temporary measure,good for 180 days. It can be extended for another 180days. But long-range planning for the grouper fishery isthe responsibility of the Tampa-based Gulf of MexicoFishery Management Council, one of eight such organi-zations set up by a 1976 act of Congress. The NMFS pre-pared the temporary regulations at the request of thecouncil, when it became clear late last year that the recre-ational catch would far exceed the quota.

Smith said that red grouper is by far the most com-mercially important of all the shallow-water grouperspecies. About 80 percent of the grouper that winds up onrestaurant tables is red grouper. Grouper rivals key limepie as traditional Florida fare. "It seems that every restau-

rant wants to be able to say it has the best grouper sand-wich," Smith said.

Shallow-water grouper is a relative term. Redgrouper live in waters roughly 80 to 200 feet deep|.

In Gulf state waters, the daily bag limit for grouperis five, only two of which can be red grouper. The newbag limit in federal waters in the Gulf allows threegrouper,, only one of which can be red. Also, Gulf fed-eral waters are closed to grouper harvest throughdutNovember and December, but there is^no closed seasonin state waters.

Other shallow-water grouper species include gag, black,scamp, yellowfin, yellowmouth, rock hind, and red

August 15,1985For whom the bridge tolls

County proposals to raise the one-time bridge toll to$5 and issue $125 annual decals for commuters does notseem to be going down any better with island businessowners than with residents.

Owners and managers of restaurants and stores on theisland arc concerned that the increased tolls will mean alot of tourists will not come to the islands. It will alsomake it more expensive to get staff to come over fromFort Myers, they say.

"The tourist traffic will be significantly lower thissummer," said Tom Kontinos, owner of the CoconutGrove restaurant. "It won't make any difference in sea-son, because our customers are mostly on the island, butin summer it will."

"It'll especially hurt the weekend business," con-firmed Chester Olako, manager of Duncan's Restaurantin Periwinkle Place. "A lot of Fort Myers people comeover on Saturdays to shop won't come with a $5 toll."

"It's not going to stop people coming for dinner," saidCharles Rubenstein, general manager of the BubbleRoom, Captiva. "But it'll be detrimental to the islandgenerally."

"As it is, $3 is too much to get over," he said.

15 years agoAugust 17,1990Markers for walkers, joggers set each 1/2mile along beach

Mile markers indicating each half mile of beach fromTarpon Bay to Lighthouse Point installed Thursdaymorning on Sanibel's coastline.

The 8-by-10-inch signs are being set up every halfmile near the tree line along the beach so joggers andwalkers can have a better idea of how far they have gone.

Islanders will be able to determine just where they are inrelation to points along East, West and Middle Gulf Drivesand people who use beach access points will find it easierto find their homes knowing they merely turn toward thestreet when they get to a certain marker on the beach.

Official sign installing ceremonies were heldThursday morning at Gulfside City Park.

At least six miles of beach will be adorned with thegreen and white signs. The cost per sign was $13 and themiles numbers will begin at zero, so about 13 signs werepurchased, according to Don Schofield, Sanibel's engi-neer and director of the public works department.

years agoAugust 18,1995Historic Woodring Point house gets homeat village

After nearly 100 years, the Palmer/Bissell house locat-ed at 1932 Woodring Road will be relocated to theHistorical village and Museum on Dunlop Road.

Chairman of the Historical Preservation CommitteeSam Bailey said the Palmer/Bissell home will be the old-est structure at the Historical Village.

"The home was built over a two year period, datingback to 1898, but Lee County records indicate the cottagewas built in 1900 or before," Bailey said.

Bailey said the column that indicates the year in whichstructures are built reads "00," which means the homewas built in 1900 or before.

Bailey said the structure is in good condition and canbe moved in one piece.

"It will be moved by barge," Bailey said. "It's a fairlyeasy process and should only take a couple minutes."

August 17,2000Wading birds put awaytheir snorkels

Refuge staff, visitors, naturalists and wading birds arehappy. Since biologist Jorge Coppen lowered water lev-els on Wildlife Drive, wading bird populations have madean unbelievable comeback.

"For the past 21 years or so, we've been managingmainly for mosquito control," explained coppen, whosenew water-management plan was implemented, inJanuary.

Lee County Mosquito control had advised J.N. "Ding"

Darling Wildlife Refuge to cover exposed mangroveroots with at least 1.3 feet of water in order to keep mud-flats—prime mosquito breeding ground—submerged.The problem was that wading birds were unable to foragefor food in the high water. The challenge was to lower thewater level and encourage foraging without increasingmosquitoes.

"We haven't had any complaints. It has been fantas-tic," Coppen reported. Last winter, tide gates were put inat the refuge's water control structures. Flaps on the gatecan be opened to allow for natural tidal flushing or closedto maintain the water level.

The plan affected the impoundments on the left-handside of Wildlife Drive both east and west of the dike,which is located just prior to the tower. Water levels havebeen lowered in both impoundments but are handled dif-ferently.

The east impoundment is kept slightly drier than thewest impoundment year-round in order to promoteopportunities for foraging. Coppen's plan called for thetide gates to be open from January through mid-May andSeptember through December to allow for fish, otherbiota and nutrients to enter the impoundments.

During the summer months, the gates are closed andthe water level is maintained at 0.4 to 0.8 inch in order toflood the mudflats and control mosquitoes. According toJuly and August reports, birds in the east impoundmentcomprise 90-95 percent of the all surveyed on WildlifeDrive. Coppen has noticed a marked increase in greategrets, snowy egrets and white ibis (the most abundantbird on the drive).

Week of August 12, 2004Causeway tolls to jump higher

The Lee Board of County Commissioners unanimous-ly decided to raise the cash toll at a public hearing heldTuesday evening, August 10.

The tolls will rise from $3 to $6 and the pre-pay tollfrom 50 cents to $3 to fund the three bridges that willcomprise the new causeway. Sanibel officials and resi-dents have considered dropping the lawsuits against thecounty concerning the causeway, but commissioners andcounty staff were not sure that dropping the suits wouldhave any impact on the toll increases.

"If there is an opportunity to lower the tolls, we'regoing to do it," commissioner Bob Janes said. "I'm notsure settling the lawsuit has much to do with it."

David Owen of the Lee County Attorney's Office saidthe county was scheduled to close on a bond to fund thecauseway January. The bond had to be withdrawn fromthe market after lawsuits were filed against the county bythe City of Sanibel and by Save Our Bay.

Amy Davies of the Lee County department ofTransportation said the lawsuits, increased interest rates,increased coverage requirements and increased construc-tion costs are all factors contributing to the increase intolls. She said the increase will allow the county to meetdebt service coverage and enhance the bond rating.

Davies told the commissioners that the required tollwould have increased some regardless of the lawsuits, butthe proposed increase would have been only $4 and $2pre-pay.

Back'of its head. Theback is basically black, with stripes of white, and thebelly is white to gray.

• Hairy woodpecker {Picoides vilosus) — This wood-pecker is a bit larger, reaching an average length ofabout eight inches. Noted for its long pointed beak, thehairy woodpecker is a noisy tree driller and favorslarge trees in heavily wooded areas.A permanent South Florida resident, this woodpeck-er's natural ranged includes most of the United States,including Alaska, and the western half of Canada. Thehairy woodpecker closely resembles the downy wood-pecker, but the male of the species has a smaller redpatch on the back of its head, and its bill is longer.

• Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) — This is a verylarge member of the woodpecker family, reaching lengthsof up to 14 inches. Occurring year-round in Florida andmost other parts of the United States, the northern flickeris a ground feeder whose favorite diet is ants.The male flicker has a light-brown head, marked byblack cheek patches and a tiny red patch on the back of

The northern flicker is often seen inparks and other heavily wooded areas.• Pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pil-leatu) — This beautiful huge, crow-sizedwoodpecker with a pointy head reaches up to19 inches in length, and is a permanent resi-dent of the eastern United States, includingSouth Florida. It prefers wooded areas,where it drills for food.

Basically black in color, on both theback and belly, the male of the species has apointed, deep-red crest on its head, and awhite face marked with black stripes.

* Collections systems lift stations, which keep waste water mov-ing, are dependent upon electricity to function. Without power,water may back up to the source.

The City of Sanibel rented generators to power the island's liftstations after Hurricane Charley. David Sadiston, manager for LeeCounty's collections system, urged users to conserve water intimes of emergency.

"People should definitely be aware to keep water use down,"Sadiston said. "We're dependent upon when FP&L can restorepower, and it's impossible to have enough generators."

Some of the best things inlife really are free!

Many of the fun things inand around the Lenox, Mass,area are free, and this week Itook advantage of several ofthem. The first was Walks &Talks around Tanglewood.(Well, to be absolutely truthful,the guided walk aroundTanglewood was free — thetalk part cost $12, but it waswell worth it.) It was a ques-tion-and-answer interviewwith Metropolitan Opera star,mezzo-soprano Frederica vonStade.

Described as "one of America's finestartists and singers," von Stade continuesto be extolled as one of the music world'smost beloved figures and, believe me,after that interview I can certainly seewhy. This is one charming, humble operadiva. When she is not performing, she istotally devoted to music education foryoung people. Her spare time is spent vol-unteering and overseeing music programsin special education schools for at-riskinner city children in the San Franciscoarea. Her description of the brilliantresponses and leaps forward in educationfollowing these music education pro-grams was inspiring, to say the least.Music in the schools is a vital tool foropening children's minds — and, in theNew England states, music is still verymuch in evidence in the public school sys-tem. Most of the questions asked by theaudience had to do with the benefits ofmusic in educating the young. Everyanswer von Stade gave was in the affirma-tive — in fact, the younger the child, theeasier it is to learn. For example, learningto read music is not unlike learning to read— it is far easier when one is young ratherthan when one is older.

Van Stade cited herself as an example:she didn't learn to read music until she;was 22 years old. "Originally, s'rle'" wanted',to be a musical comedy star "like EthelMerman." It was only because she foundout that she could graduate the MannesSchool of Music (her alma mater) twoyears earlier if she took opera that shebecame an opera diva. Her eclectic musi-cal tastes explain why this fine artist has:such a diverse repertoire — from the richclassical style of Mozart and Haydn to thepopular songs of Broadway's greatestmusicals, from Italian "Arie Antiche" tothe songs of contemporary composers,some, of whom compose especially forher. Von Stade is fascinating singer and adelightful person.

Midge my tour guide, and JLwere the only two going on the"walks" part of the tour. I got athumbnail history of howTanglewood came into beingin the 1930s — a story notunlike Sanibel's where it tooksome die-hard music and the-ater lovers coming together,giving of their time, energy,money and attendance, tomake great music a reality.And, just like Sanibel,Tanglewood is kept running byvolunteers, some 1,500 ofthem every summer.

My next free lecture of theafternoon took me to Shakespeare &Company to view a play titled "The TamerTamed," (a sequel to "The Taming of theShrew") by English playwright JohnFletcher, one of Shakespeare's friends andhis writing partner. In this play the authorhas killed off Kate and married the wid-owed Petrachio to the gentle Maria. Yetwhen she locks Petrachio out of the houseas punishment for his being a "brave wifebreaker," the once-proud tamer finds him-self agreeing to new terms of marriage —this time set down by the woman of thehouse.

Many of Shakespeare's Shrew charac-ters return for the madness and fun in thisone-hour, rarely seen romp that providesan ideal appetizer to the "The Taming ofthe Shrew" which I'll get to see later inthe season. This delightful tidbit, wellacted by the talented students ofShakespeare & Company, was hilarious.Imagine an hour's worth of fun and gamesfor FREE.

My last freebie lecture was one of theShakespeare & Company BanksideHumanities series and included a deli-cious tasting — the lecture's title was"Feasting in Shakespeare's Time: Food,Forks and Table Talk." The presenter wasFrancine Segan, author of a new cook-book, "Shakespeare's Kitchen", a compi-lation of recipes based on 400-yeaV-oBfcookbooks, but geared to today's cooks.

Segan told that "four and 20 black-birds" were, indeed, baked into a pie. Theaudience learned the truth behind why the16th Century English never put flowers ortheir elbows on the table (the tables weresawhorses and planks — elbows or flow-ers could tip the table), why they refusedto eat with forks (forks were invented byItalians and the English figured it wasbecause that agricultural nation's handswere not clean enough to pick up food,unlike the fussy English). Segan alsospoke about the eating habits of

Shakespeare himself — including that hemust have loved aje and beer because lie 1meiftions the drinks some*66 times in hisplays. The tasting included an authenticrecipe for venison sausage (a bit dry,somewhat like beef jerky) and venisonstew and millet. Yum!

The Bankside Humanities Series runsthrough the summer and this year includ-ed, in addition to "Feasting..." such topicsas "Kingly Combat: The Field of Honor"weapons and swordplay of Shakespeare'stime; "The Sweet Power of Music" —love, the lute and Shakespeare: the effectof musical composition and instrumenta-tion on the Elizabethan audience; "TheBoys' Companies" — the astonishingstory of the all-boys performance compa-

William Shakespeare

nies told in concert; and "Kate andPetruchio's Lives Together" — what,exactly, did the bard have in mind withthese two characters?

My final freebie was a Tanglewoodrehearsal featuring von Stade rehearsingRavel's "Le Tombeau di Couperin" andRavel's "Scheherazade" (three poems forvoice and orchestra) and, finally,Canteloube's "Songs of tP^^^tergne".-Notpng can possibly beat JMJIH? on _£bench in the sun '(remembeW this i sMassachusetts), munching a picnic lunchof quiche, iced tea and melon while*beingserenaded by von Stade. I thought I'd diedand gone to heaven.

My ticketed theater-going began withthe Berkshire Theatre Festival's excellentproduction of Ron Hutchinson's "Rat inthe Skull". For some reason, with thattitle, I had it in mind that this play was a.mystery thriller when I purchased myticket. Ohmigosh, was I ever wrong?! Theplay concerns itself with secrets that festerin a British interrogation cell when twoenemies separated by a centuries-old

hatred face off in a deadly game of truth or,-co'hgeqf ehces. * •"< j \ '%

Tihe'piot urtfolds as the "story movesaround through time and place ... A youngCatholic man, Roche (wonderful^Canadian actor Phil Burke),; telling hisstory while safe in Ireland... his captureand interrogation as an IRA terrorist sus-pect in London by an officer who has beenbrought in especially from Ireland... Andthe Protestant side of this portion of Irishhistory, as told by Detective InspectorNelson (powerfully played by(actor/director Jonathan Epstein). Wetravel back and forth in this tale, unravel-ing Ireland's bloody plight, until we cometo realize that the play belongs equally toboth characters as each believes himself tobe the only narrator of this play.

The play also features two other impor-tant English characters in this telling ofthe Irish problem — a committed, world-weary senior member of the Londonpolice," Superintendent Harris (expertlyportrayed by Malcolm Ingram), and atotally uncommitted junior member of theLondon Metropolitan Police, ConstableNaylor (depicted by fine Off Broad*;:actor Michael Crane).

The acting by this first-rate quanei .performers was every bit as riveting as th-play itself. I was especially taken by PhiBurke. This young man has every thingoing for him — good looks and a charismatic stage presence, plus a nuancedseamless acting technique. The rat in thi.title refers to that irritating thought th,'creeps into the psyche and tells us whawe are thinking and doing is wrong.

The play also reminds us once agai;that most political conflicts are aboupatriotism, religion or money, the thre-.great realities. At least the Irish conflict ialso about the commonality of whetherman lives in a universe he has created, cdoes he exist outside his created universeand can he manage to live in either? Rat ithe Skull proved to be a thought-provoling, excellent evening of good theater.

Saturday saw me at the BerkshiChoral Festival — 250 voices singirBach's great Mass in B Minor conductcby Steven Ledbetter. This is one of Uoutstanding musical creations of a!1 ti n

HEALTH REPORT

Obesity, a symptomof starvationBy Mary Lou Williams, M. Ed.

Bruce N. Ames, a researcher at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, andChildren's Hospital and Research Centerat Oakland, Calif., presented a paper at the11th International Symposium on TraceElements in Man and Animals. In thispaper published in the Journal ofNutrition, May 2003, he hypothesized thatmicronutrient (vitamin and mineral) defi-ciency counteracts the normal feeling ofsatiety after sufficient calories have beeneaten. He suggested that this may be abiological strategy for obtaining missingnutrients and that part of the reason for theobesity epidemic in this country might bethat energy-dense, nutrient-poor dietsleave the consumer deficient in keymicronutrients and thus constantly hun-gry-

He cited in support of his theory astudy by Ashima K. Kant published in theOctober 2000 American Journal ofClinical Nutrition. The study was a surveyof the effects on American adults of con-sumption of energy-dense, nutrient-poorfoods (that is, foods high in calories andiow in nutrients). The study concludedthat with increasing consumption of ener-gy-dense, nutrient-poor foods, the levelsof micronutrients in the blood decreasedand the intake of calories increased.

Sugar as an addictive substanceOne of the most energy-dense and

nutrient-poor of all foods is sugar. It is asubstance that is pervasive in !heAmerican diet. Americans consume about130 pounds per person per year. Sugarcomprises approximately 24 percent ofthe daily caloric intake of a typical

American. In some people, especiallychildren, it is 50 percent of their dailycalories.

This high intake of sugar, which seemsto be continually increasing, could explainthe high and increasing incidence of over-weight and obesity in this country.

There is evidence that sugar is an addi-tive substance. Researchers have discov-ered that sugar stimulates the same areasof the brain that morphine, heroin andcocaine do. When we eat sugar, dopamine(a pleasure-producing neurotransmitter) isreleased in a part of the brain called thenucleus accumbens.

A study reported in Brain Research,May 19, 2004, by Spangler and otherresearchers found that sugar dependentrats show alterations in dopamine and opi-oid levels similar to morphine-dependentrats. The researchers concluded that theirstudy provided an animal model forstudying the common mechanisms ofdrug addiction and eating disorders.

The first stage of addictionBecause sugar activates the same areas

in the brain that drugs of abuse do,researchers hypothesized that sugar cancause dependency (i.e., addiction) just asthese drugs do.

There arc two stages of dependency.The first stage is expressed when animalsescalate their intake of a substance andshow underlying neurochemical changesthat indicate sensitization or tolerance.The second stage is the emergence ofwithdrawal symptoms, both behavioraland neurochemical.

In a study published in Neuroreport onNov. 16. 2001, designed to induce sugardependency in rats, Colantuoni and otherresearchers deprived adult rats of food fori2 hours daily, then gave them access tochow with 25 percent glucose (sugar) forthe next 12 hours for a period of one tofour weeks. Their glucose intake doubledin 10 days, and they learned to drink iarge

amounts of glucose in the first hour ofdaily access. There were underlying neu-rochemical changes that indicated toler-ance, as well.

After a month on this schedule,dopamine and opioid receptors werealtered in several regions of the brain,including significantly increase binding inthe nucleus accumbens. Thus, intermit-tent, excessive sugar intake sensitizeddoparnine and opioid receptors in thebrain much like some drugs of abuse.

It is interesting to note that dependencywas accelerated by first depriving the ratsof food. Although rats will gradually esca-late their intake of glucose regardless ofwhether it is given continuously or afterfood deprivation, deprivation promotesbinge eating when food does becomeavailable. This might be because fooddeprivation itself alters the neurochem-istry of the brain. It causes the release ofopioids.

The second stage of addictionIn another study published in Obesity

Research in 2002, Colantuoni and otherresearchers sought to prove that sugar cancause addiction by showing it can causeboth behavioral and neurochemical with-drawal symptoms. Spontaneous with-drawal caused by a 24-hour fast led tobehavioral withdrawal symptoms in theform of teeth chatter, tremor and shakes.

The neurochemical changes thataccompanied withdrawal from sugar werea rise in acetylcholine and a decline indopamine. This dopamine/acetylcholineimbalance is characteristic of withdrawal

from morphine and withdrawal from nico-tine. This suggests that withdrawal fromsugar shares features with withdrawalfrom morphine and nicotine, and in thisrespect, they all have a common basis:dependence on naturally activatedendogenous opioids.

The authors go on to say that highlycaloric foods and addictive drugs bearmany interesting similarities. For exam-ple, food restriction triggers the reinforc-ing effect of both food and drugs (cocaine,alcohol or opiates). The authors also say,"The behavioral paradigm used in thisstudy shares some aspects with a patternof ingestive behavior self-imposed bypeople diagnosed with binge-eating disor-der or bulimia nervosa. [They] oftenrestrict intake early in the day and thenbinge later in the afternoon or evening."

The behavioral and neurochemical pat-terns displayed in this study also providescientific evidence that diets don't work.After all, what is dieting but food restric-tion, and like the food restricted rats inthis study, dieting leads to binging, foodaddiction and weight gain.

What is the alternative? Changing froman energy-dense, nutrient-poor processedfood diet to a diet of fresh, naturalunprocessed food. In other words, chang-ing from starving to thriving.

The Weather Station

By AJ MartignetteSpecial to the Island Reporter

re you tired of sticking your headout the window to find out if it'ssunny or cloudy or raining or

even snowing? Well, maybe not snow-ing. Are you trying to remember if itrained last week to know whether youshould water your shrubs and flowers?Now, you can find out the current andpast Sanibel weather conditions by visit-ing the Sanibel-Captiva ConservationFoundation Marine Laboratory's web-site.

Located on Tarpon Bay Rd., across

from Tarpon Bay Explorers, the marinelab has a high-tech weather stationmounted on its roof. The station has avariety of sensors that measure tempera-ture, rain, humidity, wind speed anddirection, atmospheric pressure, and sunstrength. The information from theseinstruments is sent to a computer whereit is stored and uploaded to the internetwhere it can be view by anyone withinternet access.

The weather station is a valuable toolto the scientists working at the marinelab. While watching the weather on thelocal nightly news will let us know howmuch rain the Fort Myers area got today;our weather station tells us exactly howmuch rain fell at the marine lab. This pre-cision is helpful since it can be raining in

'Ding' Darling looking forvegetation volunteers

Volunteers are needed to assist theFederation of Fly Fishers and the U.S. Fishand Wildlife Service in the ongoingMangrove Recovery Initiative in the J.N."Ding" Darling National Wildlife RefugeComplex. On August 26 and 27, volunteerswill be pitching in to remove exotic plantsfrom the Refuge's wading bird rookeries.The workdays are part of the MangroveRecovery Initiative, a cooperative effort topreserve and restore mangrove habitats thathave been impacted by human developmentand hurricanes.

Mangroves are extremely important forfish and wildlife. The Federation of FlyFishers is particularly interested in the fish-eries values of mangroves. The vital com-mercial and recreational fisheries of Floridaare dependent on healthy mangroves to pro-vide structural habitat, leaf litter as the baseof the food chain, water quality, and nurseryareas for young fish. Snook, redfish, tarpon,seatrout and sheepshead are just a few of thepopular fish species that depend on man-groves. Additionally, an incredible numberof wildlife species depend on mangroves.Mangrove communities are an integral partof Florida's natural heritage. Unfortunately,the trees and the animals that depend onthem need our active participation to ensurea healthy future.

When four separate hurricanes ham-mered coastal Florida during the storm sea-son of 2004, they left wide swaths of stormdamage in their wake. Hurricane Charley hitthe Sanibel-Captiva barrier islands of south-west Florida particularly hard. When thehurricane made landfall on August 13,2004,the eye of the hurricane passed directly overCaptiva and North Captiva Islands. Drivenby the hurricane, winds and water had majorimpacts to those islands and their neighbor-ing island, Sanibel, home to the J.N. "Ding"Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

The mangrove forests of the NationalWildlife Refuge were severely impacted byHurricane Charley. The strong winds

stripped the leaves from the branches,snapped limbs and trunks, and even uproot-ed many of the trees. Surveys completedafter the hurricane by the Sanibel-CaptivaConservation Foundation found that largertrees were more severely impacted by thestorm.

Debris from fallen and damaged man-groves was strewn across roadways and lit-tered the feeder canals that supply water cir-culation through the groves.

While mangroves can naturally recoverfrom the impacts of hurricanes, the condi-tions in some sites require intervention tomaintain healthy mangrove habitats. Thefuture of these sites is vulnerable to inva-sions of exotic species and conversion toopen water.

To help mangroves recover fromHurricane Charley and human impacts, theMangrove Recovery Initiative engages thelocal community in volunteer efforts to clearditches, remove exotic species, plant nativespecies, and monitor forest conditions. Weare seeking volunteers to participate in thisongoing project. The next workdays will beAugust 26 and 27, when we'll be removingexotic vegetation from a nearby island. Toparticipate, please contact us by August 20to reserve your spot. Even if you can't par-ticipate that day, you can contact us to beadded to the volunteers' mailing list. Formore information, visit www.fedflyfish-ers.org/conMangrove.php or email [email protected]. For local informa-tion and to sign up to volunteer, call theRefuge at 239-472-1100.

The Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF),founded in 1965, is an international mem-bership organization dedicated to conserv-ing, restoring and educating through flyfishing. With more than 300 clubs aroundthe country and affiliates in 14 countries, theFFF supports fisheries conservation andeducational programs for all fish and allwaters where fly fishers have an interest.

Sanibel-CaptivaConservationFoundation

Marine LaboratoryFort Myers and dry and sunny onSanibel. Knowing the amount of rainfallis important to us when studying areassuch as Clam Bayou. Since Clam Bayouis cut off from the Gulf most of the time,rainfall has a large effect on its salinity,which in turn has an effect on the organ-isms that live in and around the Bayou.

During last year's seemingly endlesshurricane season, the weather station wasable to collect data from the storms asthey passed by. The most dramatic datumcollected was the atmospheric pressureassociated with hurricane Charley. Ahurricane has low atmospheric pressure.Therefore, as the storm approaches, the

barometer's (the instrument that mea-sures atmospheric pressure) readingfalls. Once the hurricane passes, thebarometric pressure rises. HurricaneCharley produced an incredible drop inpressure as evinced by the accompanyingchart.

So, how can you benefit from our hi-tech scientific gadgets? If you have acomputer and internet access, you nowhave a vast amount of weather informa-tion available at your fingertips. Most ofyou probably have a thermometer some-
