ff Fishing guide feared dead after rescue attemptBy Steve Cason

C.iptua fishing guide il< rb I'urdj woiild dojirit about anjthing In help somebody.

On Tuesday, il maj have cost him his life,-v Purdy, 65, a fishing guide ni Smith Sens Planta

tton, apparently il row nod after his 22-foot fishingboat capsireri in stormy seas near Redfish Passwhile trying to low a stranded sailboat to safet)Tuesday morning, authorities .said.

Purdy was still listed as missing as of presstime Wednesday, ami Coast Guard officialssuspended their search after a team of rfivers.fnmiLee County Sheriffs office failed to" locale PuVdy'sbody in the*waters around his boat Wednesdaymorning. The boat, which was upside, down on theshoals 100 to 200 yards offshore, was towed intoport Wednesday afternoon.

Described by friends as happy go hickj, Purdjwas known'as a generous man who often riskedhis life to save others.

"He was a helluva nice guy." said Captivafishing guide Boh Sahatino, "Hi1 was always tryingto help people and thai'* wh.ti got him into Irotible."

Purdy lived atone on a houseboat at Jensen'sTwin Palms Marina, and though he kept mostly tohimself, he was .friendly'with everyone. "He had aheart bigger than a football field," said TwinPalms marina manager D.ive Jensen "If >ou askedhim about something, he'd spend two hours tellingyou about il,"

Fritz Stoppelbein, a long time friend of Purdj'bwho assisted him on several rescue operationswhile the two were in the Coast Guard Auxiliarytogether, said Wednesday Purdy never refused to

help anyone. "He was always willing to go out andhelp somebody. He risked his life many times."

Sanibcyishing guide Ted Cole, who knew Purdyfor 16 years, said Purdy would go out in the mid-dle of the night if necessary to rescue somebody."He'd go gung-ho," said Cole.

"Originally from Long Island, NY, Purdy movedwith his family lo Sanibel in t968. For a time heowned the Scgunda Motel and helped developSanibel Lakes Estates.

His career as a fishing guide began at Sanibt-IMarina 12 years ago. Two years later he moved tnCapliva and began working out of South SejisPlantation. ,

While in England during World War II. Purdywas on a landing craft that was struck by a Ger-man V-2 rocket. He and another man werc^lhe only two survivors. Friends said he. suffered a headinjury that bothered him the rest of his life.

Purdy was last seen clinging to his capsizedboat around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday near Rtdfish PassAccording to authorities, he.was trying to low a36-foot sailboat to safely^when four- to sis-foot

Mas tap«.i7(d his boatDebris fr«m Purdy's boat drifted ashore' near

.Wightman Lane on Captiva Tuesday aflrrnonn.The sailboat, Escapade, out of piinU Gorda. had

anchored nff South Seas Phintalion Monday night;[Escapade is owned by the Maijuire family trom,I.niiisvi!!c KY. When seas and winds increased

:Tuesday morning, the family pulled up anchor andtried to head for safety. While attempting to

i retrieve one of the anchors, however, 16-year-oldIan Maquire became tangled in the anchor line andwas pulled overboard. He was rescued by hislfryearold brother Stcphan.

Shortly afterward, while motoring toward Red-fish Pass, the boat lost powir. Although the Ma;

quires radioed the Coast Guard and were informedthat a cutter was on the way, Purdy decided totry and rescue the family himself.

Purdy managed to reach the stranded sailboatand secured a line from his boat to the Escapadeantfhad just begun to pull away when his boatflipped over in four- to six-foot seas, witnessessaid. ^

The Escapade was pushed onto the shoals andthe Maquire family was unable to do anything butwatch as Purdy's boal drifted away.

A Coast Guard helicopter arrived ashort timelater and rescued.the Maquires but1 was unable tolocate Purdy. Inn Maquire was transported to

t Southwest Regional Medical Center .where he wa« 'treated for a sprained hnkle, authorities said.

Friends and family members planned to con-tinue the search Wednesday afternoon, but four tosix-foot seas and wind gusts up to 30 mph keptmany of the boats in port.D

New sandspit boonfor tourists, bad newsfor water quality, Clear blue ^kie* and plenty of

warm sunshine Attracted thousands, of holiday visitors to island beaches

this past weekend, and one of themost popular destination* was therecently formed "Sanibel-CaptivaBeach" at Blind Pass, i

"It's the best beach around,"* vacationing Minnesota resident

Gene Stanley said,"There's wateron both sides and more room to vspread out."

The pass closed two weeks agofollowing the formation of a sandspit between Captiva and Sanibel.

" The 200- to 300 yard sand spit beganforming in April but didn't begin toattract attention until mid-Octoberwhen lower than normal tides r -

'exposed the massive sand bar. Sincethen the spit haa grown rapidly,accumulating tons of sand as it creptslowly toward Sanibel.Now 20 to 30 feet wide in someplaces, the spit extends from the

County looks atroad protectionideas for CaptivaBy Steve Cason f

Several alternative^ are being-considered to protect an exposedmile-long stretch of Captiva Road,including additional Beach fill andoffshore breakwaters. Lee County'scoastal engineering consultant saidMonday.

"We're looking at several op-- tions," said Andy Nicholson, vice-

president of coastal engineering forGeorge F. Young Inc., Ihe firmhired by'the Lee County Departmen! of Transportation to sludvthe problem.

Following the collapse of a1 stretch of Capliva Road in front of* 'Tween Waters Inn in October, the

county extended Ihe rock revet-ment south several hundred feel toprotect the most vulnerable «lnlchof road. About a quarter mile of un-protected road still exists

Allhough repair** are (ompleli,DOT director Harry Claw says 1hework uas only temporarv and (tat.1 more permanent solution is need-ed.

Athough the sand spit offers amuch needed line of defenseagainslerosion for some Sanibel property 'owners, Nicholson said the pass'sclosing could have a negative effect;on water quality, "There's good V

' hurricane, thus increasing likelihood.-', of another pass being cut

somewhere on the island. \\ '

During storms, the water levelin: the bay and gulf is often different,causing the high tide to rush towardthe low tide. "Water cuts by flow," .

• said Nicholson. "The greater that ;- difference the more likely it is to cut ~

an inlet. When the inlets are openthe water differential between thebay and gulf isn't as great." he said..:

"Box car reef off Boca Grande already attracting fishBy Steve Cason ' , " fi fi .

Lee County's newest artificial reef was ;

completed more than a week ago as the lastof 48 railroad box cars were dropped into ;.,

place off Boca Grande. ^ • ' ::

; "Everything Is all done," said Boca Grandefishing guide Dave Sherman. "The cars are all

• down and Misner (Marine) has"been paid.1' ( :Misner Marine was hired to transport the cars

to the site and drop them overboard; ii " -' The 48 box cars.were dropped in 72 feet of "•:•water about 18 miles due west of Boca Grande.The S50.000 project was paid for with private j.funds, said Sherman, who doubles as president of

> the Lee County Reef Association, a non-profit .organization formed last year to raise money lobuild the reef. >-^

The mile-long reef, is not expected to attract ^enough fish to make it a prime fishing site for at raleast six months, although some smaller fish are -JJ'aircady^bcing attracted to the site. "There are fish u":

there now but they're mostly small," said Sher- -"*m a n . , . - . ; ; • " • ' .,•'•" • - , . . • - . . . . • . - . 3 .

The reef will be monitored by a marine biologist Sjevery three months lo see what kind of growth rjand marine life it attracts. • = ,. • .. . r- S

As for its human appeal, the reef is expected to •£attract both fishermen and divers. : ~ £ •

Spearfishing, however, is being discouraged at j§the site for fear that it will scare away fish. a"We're urging divers not to do any spearfishingon !gthe reef," said Sherman/*1 We don't want the fish - opopulation depleted." •• ; *

Sherman is also cautioning divers to be wary, mwhen diving on the reef because some of the cars M

are balanced on toft" of one another and could shift, ;injuring or killing a diver.

The cars are 40 tc 80 feet long and weigh an ;average of 55,000 pounds each. Before being _ -dumped, the wheels were removed and the doorswelded open to increase water circulation. Each ofthe cars was also inspected and a chemical / ->analysis performed to ensure no toxic chemicals or .residue* were left inside. The box car* were ^donated by CSX Transportation Inc., of Baltimore,M D . • • • • • • • / . . - - . - . ' • „ • . - . ; ; " • . - • • • , . " . _ • •

The reef, the fourth to be constructed off LeeCounty, is the first of five planned by the BocaGrande-based Lee County Reef Association. All V :four of the new reefs will be. located off Boca '; "I1- •Grande. Sherman said he hopes to have two more -reefs in place by the end 0! next year.. / ;: -

In addition to the reefs off Boca Grande, thecounty Is planning a joint reef venture with CollierCounty. That reef will be located in an area ap- -*proximatety due west of the Lee-Collier County

c * I the "Fitness Issues for the 80's" meeting •-a / % held at Dr. Kenneth Cooper's Institute fors .AJLAerobic.Research in Dallas, prominent :j researchers reported their studies about exercise, "•J body fat, longevity, and other related topics. Many3 of these data parallel experiences people often3 report to me, and so arc easily believed even " _ ~ 'c though some of the original work was done with- animal experiments. c .j \ Nine out of 10 people will agree f hat obesity isL largely psychological, but there may be a larger^•J part played by heredity and other physiologic5 mechanisms than was originally thought. Weight: loss programs which involve competition among\ the participants routinely result in bigger losses\ than programs without the competition. Ami a•higher percentage of the losers manage to keepthe weight off when there; is the social interactionof a friendly competition. That's psychological; bul

it's only part of the story, ;-'•••- Dr. Kelly Brownell, from the department of

psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, ex-plained how we got trapped into searching for theone best weight loss program. When we are tryingto evaluate the medical treatment of sniisease, the

•..usual rputlnc is to (real one group °f patients oneway, and another similar group a different way,;

-and then compare the results. Let's say "wetreated one group with weight loss program A, V

: and another group with program B. At the end ofthree months, 75 percent of group A patients lost

. Dr. Schamadan

at least 10 pounds, while only 50 percent of group ,B had lost that much. Obviously program A is bet-ter than program b. Right?.. .Wrong. ;

Weight loss is such an individual thing that nosuch conclusion is valid. Fifty percent of the pa- -tients did respond (o program B. Some of (he 50

. percent who didn't respond would probably res-pond to program A. And those who didn't respondto cither might do well with program C. Becausethe factors affecting weight control can bo •:psychological, physiological, or a combination, ••=there is no best program for everybody, but there 'is a .best program for each individual. It takes the-'interested participation of a well informed profes;sionat lo find the best programs for you personal-

i y - •" ' '• .• • '"" : • . • • • ; w : : "

Dr. Brownell went tin to tell some physiologic ::-reasons for having difficulty with weight loss.When people are normal weight, their fat cells arc.;normal size. When these people gain weight, their "fat cells swell up like little balloons. The amountof effort it takes to shrink, these cells back to theirnormal size {that is, lose weight) is not very great.If, however, that person wanted to lose more -weight, which would mean shrinking the fat cells :

below their normal size, it would take a great deal :

of effort. „•:•,. : • . ..

Now you can begin to see the trouble. If you arc ' •20 pounds overweight because your fat cells con- ',tain too much fat, you can lose weight fairly easily. ;If, however, you are 20 pounds overweight . 4because you have too many normal sized fal cells,' • ;it will be more difficult for you to lose thai weightinitially, and more difficult to keep it off. too. - . ;

: The number of fat cells we have is determined ilargely by heredity, but apparently we can in- : "•-•''•crease the number during infancy, during puberty,and during pregnancy. People who gain excessive ;= ,amounts of weight during these times can add to :their total number of fat cells as well as filling up - , -*\the cells they started with. ' " - . ' • > ;

There is a sex difference, too, which has promp- , ^led many letters from you readers. Fat which is \deposited above Ihe waist can be mobilized much \more easily than fat which is stored below the . ' /' \waist. Men store their fat in or on the abdomen. - ;Women store fat in the hips, buttocks and thighs. -When a husband and wife team start a weight loss fprogram, eating the same diet and doing the same. ' -exercises,he loses lots more than she does,and . "\~she gets discouraged. It may not be fair, but it's ; ^r e a l i t y . . ^ ' . ' ' " " . • • • ; • • •• " . • " . - ' ' - •" . • . . ,-1

Mother Nature's trade-off on this bit of -"-.--'•: .-. \discrimination is that abdominal fat is a much '" 1greater cardio-vascular risk than Is fat stored ' \below the waist. It gets him in the heart and her ii n t h e e g o . v . - ? . . . . " • • " • i . - r - • -'..-'-''.'••-• 1

stranded on a sandbarRing in thenew year, butno more resolutionsBy Steve Cason

New Year's resolutions art1- :

stupid. : ,.-.CNobody ever docs whht'tticy say

they're going to do. ii ,. :

You'd think aflrr a while peoplewould learn. \.'\'':- Losing weigh! and quitting smnk :ing are probably the Iwp most

-popular resolutions, although a Inlof people opt for something generic

> like: "I'm going lo make 1988 Ihe ."-; best year ever." :|

I made a resolution like thnlonce. It'was followed hy Ihe worstyear of my l i fe^ i -

This year I'm not making any ' -.resolulions. I don't sreinny sense in

: making a promise to myself thai Iknow I can't, or don't really wantto keep. As for having a gond year,why commit to something you haveno control over? . . ; ^ '-••••; New years don't excite me. They

• never have. I guess maybe because ,J've never seen a new year that •'-•was really any different from theold one. Most of my years lend to

'. run together, sorl of like the Q .flavors of Neapolitan ire cream ono hot summer day. -' : . : j

There are only one or two years/"that I can look hack on and say ';with any conviction, "Oh yeah, thatwas a1 very good year." And not.

_Steve Cason

one of those can I link to some .ridiculous resohil inn. - " .

I also don't care much for New ~'\Year's parlies. ;f , .-. . ':-." It's been eight or nint year'ssince I last celebrated Ihe arrivalof a new year in any way that ;

closely resembles what most peoplelend lo think of as traditional. Thaibeing with champagne and .vfunny .little hat and a cardboard whistlethat unravels when you hlovriC :

A few years ago it dawned onme that tradition is nothing morethan a marketing concept. Holidayshave never been the same since.

.' Thn last time I celebrated iheNew Year was when I was living inthe Keys-The: bars then-don'l ._••.close until four in the morning andI got very drunk. The kind ofdrunk whereyou end up falling: ,,:asleep with a garbage can beside -.'.your bed. It was 1982, Ihe beginn- •-_ing of what was supposed to be my .'best year ever- . ; ' " '.

I put two and two together and:realized I was one short. I haven't",gone lo a New Year's parly since.

This year, though, I may breaktradition/ : -•,'-" • • " ' : - " "

Marsha Asp: helpingpeople realize dreamsthrough real estate

Anyone who mistakes Marsha Asp's deliber-ate pause as a loss for words is in fora sur-prise. A woman of finesse, Marsha speaks

with the authority and quiet assurance of a personwell-acquainted with precise communication. And

.behind her gentle reserve is a heart full of faith 'and commitment, feelings which come across elo-quently in: her carefully thought out remarks. ,

"I married young, at 18," she muses. "John and •.'- I have been married for 26 years. It has been his:

continued Influence, encouraging my development,which has helped me lo focus my energies and " :

. given me confidence.*' .-..:. '••/,'••• ' •;• Marsha feels she has grown with the times, rt

redirecting traditional role models of wife and b

mother to fit with the demands of work. She .-, began as a secretary, supporting Her husband': through college, and has taken her place In at world where today, "women's opportunities and -•>- responsibilities are different than I'd envisioned as -

a youngster.". - : - •' "r— ;.' The Asp family moved to Fort Myers in 1973, ,r

and Marsha's position as Foster Pate's executivesecretary gave her opportunity to learn about realestate from the dcveloper's.view. She soon realiz-ed that "real estate offered someone without for-mal degrees a chance to achieve an independentlevel of success in accordance"with their ability."- She is now vice-president of project sales for

: Priscllla Murphy Realty, working out of SonestaSanibel Harbour Resort on Punta Rassa, their'-"flagship project," according to Marsha. "If it'sdone right," she says carefully, "real estate is aservice business. I enjoy helping people to realize .their dreams, which is what you're doing when ^ "'-"_

" you deal in resort properties.'--'/ -'•-,- ••••_ -•••. •. =r "I am an optimist," she asserts. "I assume . ."- , .

something can be done until it's proven v . . . --'.otherwise." Probably the best result of this at-:

r t'tude, she explains, is the recent establishment of- Outreach, Inc. In 1983, she got together with a

number of associates who also felt that our com-munity needed a practical, non-profit treatment pro-

-proposed plan is the best long-ierm treatment :'available'.*^ , " .,• "We didn't want to process much negative in-

put," she says, expressing a determination whichr shows no interest in the possibility of defeat. To-

day, Outreach has a facility on Pine Island Road: and is treating about 40 local teenagers and their''

families. She was thrilled when Cape Coral - :developer Avatar generously donated the facility,

=" and gives credit also to the Cape Coral Contrac-; -tors Industry Association for contributing their

. time and expertise in renovating it. . : c,.

, What really upsets her, though, is io hear or see! the youngsters in the program labelled "hopeless

addicts'* by outsiders. "What everyone muat" .understand," she says with great emphasis, "Is ^ -that these aren't bad kids. They're aWour •'.;'-:

family atmosphere for those trying to cope with;the strains caused by substance abuse, and it is asupport* which remains available when the childmust again face old temptations. Marsha explainsthat the group counselling provides "re-educationacross the board" for teens and their parentshelping to establish healthier patterns of thinking,'thus eliminating altitudes that may have led tothe drug abuse originally. q '

- Marsha wants to see Outreach take hold andprosper. She also looks forward to breaking ; _ground on their own new home in The Forest.; ,,. As for adventure, she'd most like to climbMount Kilimanjaro, following in the footsteps of adear friend. "She wrote the most beautiful lettersto me, detailing their progress Up the mountain,"she recalls with quiet intensity. So powerful werethese letters that Marsha felt she" was actually .with them on the climb. "I want to return there,and scale those heights myself one day."D>

others picked > spring,

the time of planting..- Most of the western

world adopted the oldDruid ^ mid-wintersolstice and turned itinto a 12 day celebra-tion. And New Year'seve • has become themain time to forget theold and- start anew,with alcohol offeringmuch of the lubricationto ease the passage.

As the "Britannica*so:- aptly puts it,religious and social

yeast floated along andmelded into a concoc-

/This makes alcoholthe oldest drug of all,and it has a long record : -of being the most wide- :'ly used. It is frequentlymentioned in the Bible;Sumerian doctors wereprescribing it- as amedicine well over2000 yeirir B.C., andthe first set of laws (ex- 'cepting the Bible) were •-inscribed by Ham-murabi of Babylonia,

. who. found it necessaryto regulate wine shopsand wine consumptionby law in 1770 B.C.

Jumping;' forward „about 3000 years, I was'

delighted to find outthat my very favorite .story about.the inven-tion of brandy was _t r u e . . ''- . " -.: -" • -" •. It seems that back in •"•"the 1500s, an unnamedDutch sea captain, •_..wishing to conserve ;cargo space on his ship, -decided to condense^(distill).a shipload ofwine.

In the case of Spanish mackerel, the state plac-; ed restrictions on the use of commercial power

gear in certain areas in November, 1985 and ayear later. Imposed a four per person bag limit onrecreational anglers. This season, there appeared

» *° be enough Spanish mackerel in this area to .please everyone. J

However, some neighboring states have not in-stituted limitations on mackerel in their waters.Assessments of the stocks of king and Spanishmackerel in the Gulf of Mexico last summer in-dicated to federal management authorities thatthe supply was dangerously low. As a resultrecreational fishing for mackerel has been pro-hibited until June 30,196S. Commercial fishing hasbeen closed in certain arc.t.s, and the remaining l'

(^areas will lie closed when the quotas arc filled in'federal waters.
