Sanibel City Council refused to give specialassistance to the Care and Rehabilitation ofWildlife organization (CROW) in conducting
its main fund-raising activity, Taste of theIslands.
CROW's first vice-president Maxene B. Michlasked that the city pay for the cost of off-dutypolice officers for security and traffic control atthe April 26 event at The Dunes. The city hasbeen providing the service and billing theorganization.
City Manager Gary Price estimated the cost for10 off-duty officers for the day at about $1,200.He cited several other events "with equal needsand equal justification" — the Shell Fair,Kiwanis Chili Fest, and BIG Arts Jazz on theGreen, among others.

Take pride inyour wildlife
Chris Zajicek ofJ.N. "Ding" DarlingWildlife Refuge saidthe idea behind Na-tional Wildlife Weekis summed up in thetheme: "Take Pridein Your Wildlife."
And SanibelElementary studentspulled out pens andcorraled crayons totoot that theme in therefuge-sponsored Na-tional Wildlife Weekart and essay contest.
Under coordinatingefforts of schoolteachers and EileenMeisel, a park guideat "Ding" Darling,children in grades 2-4at Sanibel Elemen-tary put to paper
their words and im-ages.
According to of-ficial rules, thestudents had to com-pose a drawing or anessay depicting nativewildlife on Sanibel in-cluding mammals,seashells, fish, fowland reptiles.
According to a ten-tative checklist sup-plied by the refugethat includes theopossum — introduc-ed to Sanibel onlyafter the causewaywas built — to themink — found usuallyin the refuge or onCaptiva.
Most students chosearmadillos, alligators,wading birds and rac-coons. Only a fewseashells found their
way into essays orposters.
But the words andimages of SanibelElementary pupilsput ideals, whichisland naturalistsrespect, in print.
From JeffVollmer's essay "OurWildlife on Sanibel"that took first prize ingrade three:
"I am very proud ofSanibel's wildlife. Iam also worried thatit might not bearound when I am 50or so to look at andenjoy."
From Ryan Pettus'essay "The Panther",which won first prizeribbon for grade four:
"It must be neat tosee a panther closeup. (Previously, he ex-
plained how his fatherhad once seen aFlorida panther.) Doyou think the pantherwill survive in theworld to come?"
And from secondgrade essayistSamantha Kennedywho took top honorsin her class:
"Alligators havetwo other enemies.They have to look outfor fast cars andother fast alligators."
From the mouths ofbabes...
Judges in the con-test were BeckyBasil, of ChildrensCenter of the Islands;Scott Martel, of TheIslander; and MattPerez, of IslandReporter. •
Loony tunesThe first annual Southwest
Florida Bird Calling Contest onSunday was a chirping success, ac-cording to Erick Lindblad of theSanibel-Captiva Conservation Foun-dation.
Nine entrants made for a well-rounded program, said Lindblad,who expects the event to grow inpopularity every year.
In the 18 and over category, thewinner was Cherie Bergsten. Forher imitation of the cry of the com-mon loon, she won the AudubonSociety Encyclopedia of NorthAmerican Birds.
George Tenney, charter memberand former president of SCCF, wonsecond place with the call of the
Canadian goose. He won a NationalGeographic Bird Guide.
For the cry of the screech owl,Rick Tulley won a bird box.
In the youth category, Matt Pin-ney took first place for the hawkcall and won "The AudibleAudubon" microphonograph withrecord sets of a wide variety ofNorth American Birds. Other win-ners were Jeff Burns and AlanMaughan. All three youngsters werealso winners in the National WildlifeWeek Art and Essay Contest spon-sored by J.N. "Ding" DarlingWildlife Refuge and SanibelElementary School.
Judges for the bird calling contestwere Dr. K.C. Emerson, former
Bud-ding sculptor?Not only was the person who thought up this driftwood alligatorcreative, they were probably inebriated at the time, as evidenced by thesand-sculpted words "Bud Lite" in the foreground. The four-foot long rep-tile replica is made out of driftwood, sand and pearl oyster shells. Rumoris that the unknown artist is a University of Florida student on vacation.The 'gator was discovered sunning himself on the beach Tuesday behindSundial Resort.
FOCUS ON:John B.N orris
T wo popularmisconcep-tions about the
IBM corporation andits presence onSanibel have beendispelled by recentretiree John B.(Jack) Norris.
The first is thatthere is an officialcorporate or subrosa alumnipresence on theisland. AlthoughJack confirmed thata former CEO of thecompany is anisland resident, hesaid he's met onlyone other retireehere and that wasmerely in passing.Jack and his wifeMary Lou decidedon Sanibel as theirretirement homequite independently.
In 1976, they tooka month off "downthe Mississippi" andvisited New Orleans,Biloxi, Mobile, Pen-sacola andTallahassee. Theyworked their waydown the Gulf
Coast, came toSanibel withoutreservations, stayedon the gulf and wentback up the eastcoast. On arrivalback in Poughkeep-sie, they bothagreed Sanibel was"interesting." Theykept coming backand in 1978 boughta condo at MarinerPointe.
The second myth-bubble burst is thatof the IBM man asbuttoned-downclone. "That might— and I stressmight — apply tothe salesmen butnot to theengineers."
Jack said Interna-tional BusinessMachines, Inc. is "agood company. Theyhave fairness in pro-motion, excellentsalary, interestingwork and benefits."
One benefit whichhas been fairly wellpublicized in themedia is the healtheducation program.Another Jack is en-joying is the retire-ment education pro-
gram.Retirement educa-
tion benefits beginwhen an employeeis eligible for retire-ment and continueuntil three yearsafter retirement. Thecompany will pay foralmost any type ofcourse Jack andMary Lou want totake, with advanceapproval. They arenow enjoying tennislessons with MollyBeardsworth ofIsland Tennis Serv-
ices.Jack is a
stockholder in thecompany thatemployed him 34years and althoughgrowth has been flatfor the last coupleof years, he says "Ihave faith in IBM."
He gets anewsletter whichkeeps him informedof recentdevelopments, butsays he has nodesire to go back.
"I have too many
hobbies and in-terests," he ex-plains. They rangefrom the piano(Chopin is thefavorite) to contractbridge.
"I brought con-tract bridge to theHudson Valley," thismechanical engineerboasts. He taughtbridge for 15 yearsat the IBM CountryClub and in 1955was named the NewYork Daily NewsGoren IndividualChampion.
Jack is vice-commodore of theCaptiva Island YachtClub and taughtbridge there thispast winter, an ac-tivity he expects tocontinue.
Gardening isanother interest he'spursuing for theyacht club, workingwith Kathy Boone ofthe Sanibel-CaptivaConservation Foun-dation on nativeplantings for theclub's grounds. InNew York, Jack andMary Louvolunteered on the
An interest Jackhopes to get backinto is modelrailroad construc-tion. In Poughkeep-sie, he had a modelvillage in his cellarwhich had to bedismantled for the1985 move. Somecomponents weresold, but he kept afew key pieces he'sespecially proud of,like the coalelevator. For amechanicalengineer, the controlpanel will be a pieceof cake compared tothe tedious han-diwork required forthe cardboardbuildings.
The thing Jackmisses about NewYork is his grand-daughters.
The thing hemisses the least:"Cleaning the gut-ter. Did you everhave to put yourhand down in thatice to get the leavesout? It's terr ib le!"•

More than 500 attend gallery openingIt was truly a Sanibel-Captiva
happening — the opening of thenew Matsumoto House gallery!
More than 500 islanders andtourists turned out for the openingof the robin's-egg blue buildingwith its pastel trim — a convertedand relocated beach house andgarage owned by artists Polly andIkki Matsumoto on Tarpon BayRoad last Friday night.
As guests toured the downstairsgallery and the Gary David (interior)Design studios, which are bothupstairs and downstairs, and the ad-joining Wildlife Expressions Gallery,owned by Jarill Ristine, they atehors d'oeuvres by Caroline, dranksangria and listened to theSouthwest Steel Drum Band.
Ikki's wildlife originals and prints •were everywhere throughout the
gallery interspersed with Polly'swall hangings and islander CharlieMcCullough's photographs.
Polly was also featuring originalMexican art, principally from Oax-aco and dominated by the paintedwooden sculptures of ManuelJimenez on a new-old fireplacedesigned and built by Sanibel resi-dent Rodney Jobe. Ikki's newestserigraphs and prints wereeverywhere on plain walls and his"Mexican" work was appropriatelydisplayed.
Gary David Design studios con-tained not only furniture and fur-nishings discriminately selected butalso posters "with atmosphere forthe islands," according to Polly.
In the converted garage was thework of wildlife artists. Besides

'Career advancement'lures Lt. Rhodes awayfrom Sanibel policeBy Matt Perez
When you walk into the 5-by-12foot entrance hall of Sanibel PoliceDepartment, you face a wall of pla-ques commemorating achievementsof the island's police force.
In dead center of 13 plaques is anaward from the American NationalRed Cross presented in 1979 topolice Lt. Ray Rhodes for savingthe life of an 18-month-old girl.
The plaque will stay, but Rhodesis leaving.
He is the third member of SanibelPolice to announce plans to leavethe force this year. Chief JohnButler, recently announced hisretirement effective in July and Of-ficer Jamie Phillips already has left.
Rhodes on Nov. 5, 1979 ad-ministered cardio-pulmonaryresucitation to toddler PennySiebert after the child fell into aswimming pool and nearly died.
The girl is about nine years oldnow and still lives on Sanibel.
"I get a Christmas card everyyear," Rhodes said. "I just hope shedoesn't send me a bill when she getsto college."
Rhodes, 37, came to the islandwhen he was about 18 months oldwith parents Glenn and EulaRhodes. He is headed for Gladstone,MO, where he will be director ofpublic safety in the Kansas Citysuburb.
It's hard for me to leave, but it'sa good career advancement forme," he said.
He graduated from the FBI Na-tional Academy, University ofLouisville Southern Police Institute
Lt. Rhodes
and University of South Florida.He has taught at the University of
North Florida Instutute of PoliceTechnology and Management.
Rhodes is chairman of FloridaCriminal Justice Board Region 10covering six Southwest Floridacounties and he serves on the ad-visory board of Southwest FloridaCriminal Justice.
Under Rhodes' supervision,Sanibel Police Department put amobile computer system into effect,which police said will helppatrolmen keep the peace.
Rhodes was the first patrolman onpolice duty after formation ofSanibel Police in 1974.
With him to Gladstone will go hiswife Meri and their two children,Andrea, eight, and Raymond,four.D
Two youngeagles return-ed to nestsBy Matt Perez
Southern bald eagles tagged629105 and 629106 were hoistedback to the pines in south FortMyers March 12 after a week-longstay on Sanibel.
Both immature eagles are 2-3months old and, along with a baldeagle chick, they were brought toCare and Rehabilitation of Wildlife(CROW) after gusty winds blewthem out of their nests. Thenumbers mentioned are engraved onU.S. Fish and Wildlife bands attach-ed to the eagles by officials fromJ.N. "Ding" Darling WildlifeRefuge.
Refuge officials, under the um-brella of U.S. Fish and Wildlife, areresponsible for protecting en-dangered species like the Southernbald eagle. The three eagles werekept at CROW where facilities forbirds of prey, or raptors, exist.
CROW clinic manager Paula Reisssaid locations of eagle nests arekept confidential in Lee County toprotect the birds. Also, the publicare not allowed to view the babybald eagle still in CROW's carebecause exposure to people couldharmfully influence the bird.
Refuge officials and Mark "Bird"Westall of Lee County EagleTechnical Advisory Committeereturned the raptors to separatenests.
The two immature eagles, beingfledglings, could not yet fly, but atCROW the pair hopped up on per-ches.
First the eagles had to be return-ed to their original nests of sticks
balanced about 50 feet above theground, Hight said.
According to The FloridaAlmanac, bald eagle nests can be aslarge as nine feet across, and areoccupied by parent eagles that matefor life. The same nest may be usedyear after year.
Using an extension ladder to gaina head start up the tree trunk, anda 30-gallon trash can and pulley,Westall hoisted the first bird backto a perch near its nest.
The other eagle was blown from anest in a dead tree, Hight said, andthat raptor was hoisted to a perchin a nearby tree sturdy enough tobear the weight of man and eagle.
"We were able to put them upwithout them sinking a talon in us,"Hight said.
He added that the eaglet still atCROW probably will be releasedunder a U.S. Fish and Wildlife pro-gram to repopulate native Southernbald eagle habitats. Hight said aneagle rescued from Pine Island lastyear, under the USFW program,was released in Alabama.
According to a February article inThe Anniston (Ala.) Star aresurgence in native eagle popula-tion has been reported in northAlabama at Lake Guntersville StatePark. Hight did not know if theeagle released last year was sent tothat park.
The decline of Southern baldeagles is attributed to increasinghuman population in its primarynesting habitat, according to TheFlorida Almanac. Also, the use ofpesticides, which spread through thefood chain into eagle diets, causesreduced reproduction of eagles.
Pesticides, for example, ingestedby the eagle when it eats a con-taminated fish, cause eagle eggshells to thin and rupture.•
The L.A. (Lehigh Acres) Bicycle Club enjoyed afield trip to Sanibel earlythis week.
'Bike Shuttle' over causewaycould begin this summerBy Steve M. Cason
While it may be years — if ever —before bicyclists will be able to pedalfrom Fort Myers to Sanibel, it maynot be all that far away beforethey'll be able to catch a ride acrossthe causeway aboard the Lee Coun-ty "bike shuttle."
The proposed shuttle would ferrybicyclists across the SanibelCauseway using a pickup truck andtrailer. "Basically it'll be a trip overand back," said Ronald Cotterman,bicycle and facilities coordinator forthe Lee County Department ofTransportation and Engineering.
Cotterman said the pickup truck isalready on order and could be inoperation by the summer. Hewarns, however, that implementa-tion may be delayed until the fall inan attempt to increase the numberof users. "We want it to be suc-cessful," he said.
Either way, the program will bekicked off with a 30- to 45-dayadvertising campaign to increasepublic awareness, Cotterman said.
Right now, he said, "We're tryingto do a little public relations workwith the City (of Sanibel)."
Cotterman said he didn't think itwould take much to convince city of-ficials of the shuttle's merits. "Itwould be better for the residents ofSanibel and Captiva," he said. "Wefeel they would be better off with athousand bicycles rather than a hun-dred cars."
Although details have not yetbeen worked out, Cotterman saidpreliminary plans call for the shuttleto operate between the toll plazaand the park area just south of thecauseway. The round trip ride would
cost bicyclists about $2, he said.Tentative plans are for the once-a-
day shuttle to leave the toll plazasometime between 9 a.m. and 9:30a.m. and return around 3 p.m. or3:30 p.m.
County officials are still adamantin their plans to install a bike laneon the proposed new bridge, despiteopposition from the city and theCommittee of NeighborhoodsAssociation.
Sanibel City Manager Gary Pricesaid that, based on information helearned at a meeting with the coun-ty last week, "They are putting abike path on the first bridge, butnot on spans B and C." He said thisissue will be coming before citycouncil again, along with othercauseway issues for final review.
Another gap in the bike path bet-ween South Fort Myers and Sanibelwill be filled in according to LeeCounty TransportationDepartment's five-year plan. Theplan approved by the county com-mission on Feb. 25 calls for connec-ting the Sanibel Causeway toll boothto Shell Point Road at a cost of$180,000.
Elmer Stilbert, president of theNeighborhood association, said hewas unaware of the shuttle pro-gram, but thought it was a goodidea. "If they want to carry peoplewith bicycles across the bridge in atruck, I really don't see howanybody could object to that," hesaid.
Stilbert, who maintains that abike lane on the new bridge wouldbe unsafe, "cost a fortune andnobody would use it," said the shut-tle would "eliminate all those pro-blems.":]
Feline fanatics form PAWSto find homes for foundlingsBy Steve M. Cason
T hey call themselves PAWSInc. They stress the I-N-C.
Gwen Zimmerman, Pat Slater andSue Ellen Cutler are three felinefanatics who are trying to dosomething about the stray catpopulation on Sanibel and Captiva.Their organization, the Protectionof Animal Welfare Society, is a non-profit group whose primary purposeis to "humanely capture and provideadoptive homes for all domesticanimals found on Sanibel and Cap-tiva."
Since there aren't many dogs resi-ding here most of their efforts aregeared toward cats. And accordingto their estimates, there are morethan 1,000 homeless cats and kit-tens currently living on the twoislands. Most of those, the womensay, live in colonies. A batch here, abatch there, and a few in between."We know where most of thepopulation is," says Zimmerman,
the organization's president."People have not taken respon-
sibility over the years and thepopulation has grown and grown,"says Slater.
Adds Cutler, "These cats werebrought here by man . . . It seemsthe more people that come to theisland, the more stray animals weget. It goes hand and hand."
PAWS was officially formedMarch 6, more than six monthsafter they first began organizingthemselves. Their birth can be trac-ed back to the late Father ThomasMadden, a vicar of St. Michael andAll Angels Episcopal Church onSanibel, who died of cancer in Dec.1985. Madden left the city $25,000to care for the stray animal popula-tion. Despite their working in"cooperation" with the city, theyhave not yet received any moneyand are presently making do

captivaLegend in the making with discover of 'sword'By Steve M. Cason
A barnacle-encrusted piece of metal foundnear Redfish Pass last week generated someexcitement and revived a few old tales when
word spread that the long, thin object was an oldSpanish sword.
The speculation was quickly laid to rest, however,when the "mysterious" object was identified by ex-perts as nothing more than a piece of strapping.
"There's nothing I can tell you except that it's notvery old," said James Levy historical conservatorfor the state's Bureau of Archaeological Research."It's just a piece of strapping. There's no holes,marks or anything to indicate what it might havebeen used for. It's just something that fell over-board."
Levy's analysis came four days after the objectwas hauled ashore by Dr. David Brigham and hissix-year-old son, Michael. The pair accidently snag-ged the 51-inch long relic last Monday whilefishing from a dock at South Seas Plantation, Cap-tiva. "We were pulling up our stringer and it waswrapped around the object," said Brigham, of St.Louis MO.
Brigham, unsure what he should do with thepossible treasure, contacted Terry Walton, directorof the Captiva Memorial Library. "I didn't want tomess around with it," said Brigham. "It looked likean artifact."
After examining the object and noting "rustymetal" on a portion of the "blade" where some ofthe barnacles had been scraped away, Walton con-tacted the Museum of Florida History inTallahassee. They in turn recommended the"sword" be forwarded for positive identification.

It's a billboard, it's an airplane trailer, NO, if s Supersign!
It's the newest, most innovativeadvertising medium on Fort MyersBeach and Sanibel in years, and itreaches thousands of people on thebeaches as it sweeps by, brilliantlights flashing your message 18times an hour.
What is it? Supersign, the SmartHit, a 50-foot boat mounted with ahuge electronic sign that flashesadvertising messages, trivia, thetime of day, informational publicservice messages, quiz questions,riddles, the current temperature.It's a conglomerate of interesting,fun, important information thatcatches the eye, stays with themind, then, unlike those unsightlybillboards, disappears. The Gulf ofMexico is its glorious self onceagain. No eye pollution!
Supersign does all of the aboveby computer. The time andtemperature are inserted in thestream of messages automatically,making the information timely andaccurate. There are matching com-puters on land and sea which makesure all messages get their fullcomplement of exposures, andyour messages can take on manyletter forms. You can emphasizespecific information, just like thebold print in the newspaper youare holding.
For a modest $30 an individualcan recognize birthdays, anniver-saries, and special events. Ar-
rangements can be made to carrypublic service messages on a no-cost basis for service clubs in thearea. You need only call813-765-8463 for information.
This is not a new idea. Bob andKeith Muller first saw the idea be-ing carried out very successfullyalong the New Jersey coastline.The brothers took a good idea andmade it better with newer com-puters, a broader scope of informa-tion, more fun information. Reac-tion has been very positive to theidea, with contests being run bythe beachfront loungers who dobattle to see who can solve the rid-dles faster, or who knows theanswer to the trivia questions.Right in the middle of the fun in-formation there comes a subtleadvertising suggestion as to pro-duct or business. The impressionsmade by the highly visible lightboard stay with the reader longer,having also made an impression onthe subconscious.
Many of the Beach service clubshave taken advantage of the op-portunities offered by Supersign,with excellent results.
A call to 813-765-TIME (8463)will bring full particulars, with at-tractive advertising rates, deals ofall sorts, with Bob or Keith Muller,pros (and the principals in thebusiness) ready to serve you.

sanibelHousing foundation seeks cityprotection against lawsuitsBy Mary Coleman
Dr. Dorothy Newman, executive director ofSanibel's Community Housing andResources, Inc., has asked the city council
for protection from possible discrimination lawsuits.The request was for insurance against the director'sand board's "errors and omissions." The policyCHR now has excludes protection againstdiscrimination.
In a letter to city council backing up the request,CHR president George W. Kohlbrenner, Jr. said,"We find that unless CHR directors and staff canbe indemnified under the city, the risk incurredwhile acting as the city's housing foundation has
ANYTHING • ANYWHERE • ANYTHING • ANYWHERE
HATE TO SEE YOU GO
become greater than CHR should be asked tobear." The statement continued "CHR and,therefore:its directors, while acting as the city'shousing foundation owns and operates the housingfoundation's, and therefore, the city's property.
"One such property shortly to be under rehabilita-tion and operation is the project on Beach Road.This kind of activity places us at risk for manykinds of suit by citizens, neighbors, and by tenantsand prospective tenants. We have been pursuingavenues privately and continue to do so, but even ifwe should eventually acquire coverage ourselves, itis likely to be very expensive . . . Indemnification

PAWS is also offering an oppor-tunity for those who can't per-manently adopt a cat to sponsor onefor $25 a year. The program entitlesthe sponsor to name the cat andgives them "visitation rights. We'lleven send them a picture if they liveup north," says Zimmerman. Youcan even have a choice ofneighborhoods, and, promisesSlater, "We can get you any color,shape or size."
Studies have shown that peoplewho own pets, especially the elderly,are happier and live longer thanthose without pets. "The love you
give them is returned 10-fold," saysCutler.
Equally important to remember,the women stress, is the fact thatPAWS Inc. is not a dumping placefor cats. "We're not a drop offplace," says Slater. "We want toencourage people to take theresponsibility on their own."
And what do the women get outof it? "The feeling we get from fin-ding a home for a cat is the mostwonderful feeling in the world,''says Slater.

under the city is likely to be less expensive besidesbeing certain," he said.
While it was confirmed that the City of Sanibel iscovered against discrimination suits, the councilwas not ready or willing to place CHR under thatumbrella. The advice of Allen McKinney of RiskManagement Services, Sanibel's insurance coor-dinator, was that CHR could not be included in thecity's present insurance portfolio "unless they areappointed as a board or committee by the council. Ifthis was done they would lose their corporate not-for-profit status. At the present time they do notqualify as a governmental entity, and our presentinsurance carrier, Florida League of Cities, requiresthis."
But Mayor Fred Valtin said the council does notwant "to restructure the whole thing." He saidcouncil's intent had always been to keep CHR "atarm's length."
Valtin said to Dr. Newman: "I assume you arenot discriminating." She replied no, but added therewas always the possibility that there could be anallegation of discrimination in assigning housing.
CHR and the housing foundation it directs haveas their task the provision of low-cost housing orbelow market rate housing for service employees onSanibel. It was never intended as a "publichousing" program.
Councilman Lennart Lorenson noted that eventhe requirement that those assigned housing workon Sanibel could be construed as discriminatory.
Councilman Myron Klein added that it is moreand more difficult to "get people to serve on the(CHR) board and homeowner's associations becausethey put all their savings and net worth on theline."
City attorney David LaCroix said the city couldagree, in its contract with CHR to defend the not-for-profit contractor against liability. He said thereis a cap on liability of city employees of $100,000 to$200,000.
No action was taken. •
S W O R D • from page 29A"The people in Tallahassee were very excited aboutit," recalled Walton.
At the time, Levy said from the description it"could possibly be a sword," but added that itwould be "awful unusual" to have one that long.
Levy's comments were enough to keep the storyalive until Friday, when the "sword" arrived inTalahassee and was identified for what it was.
More often than not barnacle encrusted objectsthat appear to be one thing turn out to besomething entirely different, said Levy, who recall-ed a similar incident several years ago when so-meone sent him what was supposed to be a flint-lock pistol. "It turned out to be a big lag bolt off adock," he said.
According to historical accounts, the first record-ed white man to reach Captiva was Spanish ex-plorer Juan Ponce de Leon. His visit is enhanced bylocal legend which has it that back in 1900, anisland settler named Jessee Carter found a slab ofshell breccia about six inches long on which wascarved "Ponce de Leon -1513." The shell wasfound in the area around what is now known asRedfish Pass.
Don't be surprised if in a few years you hear asimilar story about "the sword."D

SASSMANS• from page 1A
An affidavit signed Jan. 30 by Sanibel Police DetDick Church is a cornerstone of the state's case inthe 10-page statement, Church documented how theSassmans allegedly used stolen tools and buildingmaterials to construct their house. Also, it statesthe Sassmans used stolen items to benefit familylawn care and fishing businesses.
In addition, the statement points to numerousitems - including two rifles stolen from a house inthe same subdivision in which Sassmans live —which were found in the home after police obtaineda search warrant Nov. 21, 1986.
Church'said the state has 90 days from the sub-mission of the affidavit to prove that the Sassmansviolated the Racketeer Influenced CorruptOrganization Act.
The lien, also filed before Judge R. Wallace Packin Lee County Circuit Court, prohibits theSassmans from selling their home. Sassman, 48, aretired customs inspector, his wife Antoinette, 43,and sons Alexander, 24, Victor, 22, and Henry, 19,moved to Sanibel in 1979 from Cape Coral.
Sanibel Police Lt. Lew Phillips on Tuesday saidhe believes they tried to sell their house after beingreleased from jail Dec. 10 on bonds totalling about$50,000.
Alexander Sassman violated his bond, Churchsaid, and has been ordered to stay off the island aspart of a stipulation contained in the bond agree-ment.
The Sassmans were released under the conditionthat they have no contact with the police except inan official capacity. Church said AlexanderSassman had been harassing Sanibel Police aides.
The Sassmans' attorney, Jerry Berry of McDon-nell & Berry, Naples, said Friday he is trying to"amicably" work out an agreement for the returnof property confiscated by police.
"My clients have indicated that this property isnot stolen," he said and declined further comment.
On Jan. 6, Berry sent a letter to Police ChiefJohn Butler demanding the property be returned orcivil and criminal charges could be brought againstSanibel Police Department and individual police of-ficers.
A letter from private attorneys in North FortMyers, representing Sanibel Police, called the de-mand for the return of the property "highly im-proper and strongly resented." The letter wassigned Jan. 14 by J. Michael Hussey of O'Halloran,Johnson & Waltemyer.
The property in question includes kitchen utensils,silverware and china allegedly stolen from CasaYbel resort by Victor Sassman while he was anemployee, according to the affidavit.
In addition, Alexander Sassman as an employeeof Jerry's Supermarket of Sanibel allegedly tookbakery goods and meat from the store while hismother also was an employee, according to the af-fidavit.
Other sworn statements link the Sassmans toalleged thefts of outboard motors, found during thesearch in the attic and concealed in the yard; about360 plastic milk crates containing hardened cement,found in the yard and allegedly used for catchingcrabs; and a self contained fireplace found in theSassman basement reported stolen in 1984 by JohnHighsmith from a construction site near theSassman home.D

Between Sunday, March 15and Tuesday, March 17,Sanibel Police were called to
respond to no fewer than 12 com-plaints of loud parties on thebeaches.
It is spring break again."They're not here to get busted,
they're here to have fun," SanibelPolice Lt. Lew Phillips said Tuesdayof teenagers on break.
And the problem is getting worsebecause more kids on school breaksare opting for beaches here onFlorida's west coast since tougherlaw enforcement measures havebeen put into effect in Fort Lauder-dale, Phillips added.
School kids are having their funon beaches near Ramada Inn,Pointe Santo de Sanibel, Log-gerhead Cay, Lighthouse Beach andSanibel Hilton on the gulf side,police reports indicate. In addition,bothersome parties have beenreported near bay side coastline offWoodring Road.
"There's nothing we can do ex-cept respond to individual com-plaints or else we'd be on the beachall night long," Phillips said.
All morning also, since about halfof the complaints were recordedbetween 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.However, Phillips said most com-plaints were made during the 3 p.m.-11 p.m. shift. In addition, reportsindicate several of the complaintswere connected to pool parties oradults joining in the fun.
Still, most of the ruckus takesplace on the beaches with youthsunintentionally encroaching onother visitors' and residents'"auditory rights," Phillips said.

It's hard todo a job from3,000 miles awayTo Island Reporter: In 1982, JohnOster, then commissioner of the Cap-tiva erosion prevention district,resigned before his term of office hadexpired, because he had established anew residence off Captiva Island.
In 1983, Dwight Wilson, alsoresigned as a commissioner of theCEPD before his term of office hadexpired, because he had securedemployment off Captiva Island.
In 1985, DeWitt Jones also resign-ed as a commissioner of the CEPDbefore his term of office had expired,because he felt that his long summerabsence from Captiva Island made itimpossible for him to give proper at-tention to his duties.
In 1986, Peg Hofschneider, alsoresigned as a commissioner of theCEPD before her term of office hadexpired, because she could not devotethe time necessary to do the job.
All of these people had a compas-sionate interest in the severe ero-sion problem facing Captiva Island.All of these people felt that since theycould not give this matter the full at-tention it deserved, they wouldresign from the boards of the CEPDand let someone else do the job.
Now we have the case of Commis-sioner Robert Martin. He lives in thestate of Oregon, and appears once amonth for a meeting of the CEPD.Thereafter, he is unavailable to per-form any duties as a commissioner ofthe CEPD. This is, indeed, unfor-tunate.
Our erosion problem and its resolu-tion are at a critical state. The pro-blem cannot afford the attention of asometime, absentee, commissioner.Robert Martin should do the rightthing for Captiva Island and let so-
meone else, a full-time resident takeover his job as commissioner.
This letter is not meant todenigrate his past services as com-missioner. He has been very cons-cientious in performing his duties. Hehas always done his homework. I'msure he would agree, however, thathe cannot, in good conscience, con-tinue as a commissioner of the CEPDwhile living most of the month 3,000miles from Captiva Island.

'Mann's the man'To Island Reporter: The expression,"If you can keep your head while allaround you are losing theirs, you justdon't understand the situation," wasnever truer than today. We have aGovernor who is indifferent if nothostile to environmental causes whileat the county level CommissionerBigelow champions developers andhas taken aim at our watchdog, theSouthwest Florida Regional Plann-ing Council.
"Chainsaw Charley, as he has beencalled, apparently thinks thatmangroves are for cutting. But thereis a .ray of hope. Former stateSenator Frank Mann is seeking thejob of executive director of theDepartment of Natural Resources,the agency that looks after the state'senvironmental treasures. No onecould be better qualified for the job.
While in the legislature, Franksponsored or co-sponsored every ma-jor piece of environmental legisla-tion. In appreciation for his ac-complishments, he was honored bythe Sanibel-Captiva ConservationFoundation with a life membership.Frank gets along well with membersof both political parties and is capableand efficient. He understands ourparticular concerns on Sanibel andCaptiva and has helped us many
times. With him again in Tallahasseewe could rest easier. Please writeGovernor Martinez and ask him to en-dorse the best man for the job — ourown Frank Mann.

Republican imageneeds polishingTo the Island Reporter: Successfulbusiness knows that image is as im-portant as substance and ad agenciesmake millions creating and maintain-ing images.
Political parties are no different.People vote their perceptions.
Regrettably, the Lee CountyRepublican organization has a shabbyand bickering image. Its long-standing history of petty and bicker-ing leadership, divided loyalties, rivalclubs and self-serving factions mustastound new residents.
This unfortunate image of politicalpygmism is compounded by recentmedia items.
One calls for Porter Goss to replacehis Democrat secretary with aRepublican. Lucy Shepard, thatDemocrat Mata Hari, is not to bejudged on her outstanding record byon party affiliation.
Another item has SchoolSuperintendent (James) Melvinthreatened with termination for thecrime of being a Democrat in aRepublican county.
This spoils system philosophy por-trayed in print is obviously petty, in-significant and, perhaps, untrue. Butit does tarnish the Republican image.Worse, since no effort is made torefute it, people assume that it's true.
1988 looks like a bad Republicanyear. A petty, self-serving image willhurt. It is time an on-going PR (publicrelations) committee was formed justfor damage-control purposes. Thenimprovement should follow naturally.

taking stock
of Mother has answer§ to stock market riseDC< By Ben Fuller
•UJ
oa.UJccaz
When I'm asked that question, I'm temptedto give my mother's all-purpose answerfor questions to which she didn't know the
answers. For instance, she'd say, "A bird flies,Benny, because it is its nature to." And I'd go onmy way, thinking she'd told me something useful.
When friends ask me the reasons for the ex-plosive price rise of stocks, I'm tempted to rely asmy mother did. Usually I reply more tactfully thatthe market goes up because more people want tobuy than to sell. Sometimes I even make guesses asto why they want to buy, like, "There are few taxshelters left, so there's more money going intostocks; inflation is a real possibility, so asset richstocks are attractive; the Japanese have to spend themoney they receive from our gigantic trade deficit,and they spend some of it on our stocks."
Individuals are hard enough to understand; for in-stance, do you really understand your spouse? Theactions of mobs are not well understood, I believe,even by professional psychologists, much less by
Ben Fuller
you and me. Buyers and sellers of stocks are like amob on a sightseeing boat, first running to one sideand then to the other, oblivious to the fact thattheir actions cause the ship to tip too far one wayand then too far the other. Most of the time neitherthey, nor anyone else, knows why they dash about.
The better questions to ask are (1) when do I buy,(2) what do I buy, and (3) when do I sell? Theanswers are (1) that you buy when the market is go-ing up; (2) you buy stocks whose prices are also go-ing up, whose earnings are and should continue torise, whose short iferm and long term prospects aregood, and are in industries with favorable pro-spects; and (3) you should sell when any of thesecriteria change substantially for the worse, or whenthe price of your stock drops 10 percent from a re-cent high.
I've written several times in this column how youcan get this information in any large library. I'd beglad to send you a copy of these instructions, if
you'll drop me a line in care of this newspaper.Stocks that qualify for purchase, as of March 13,
when this column is being written, are AGS COM-PUTERS (computer, services to business); AF-FILIATED PUBLICATIONS (the Boston Globenewspaper); ASHTON-TATE (word processing soft-ware); ECHO BAY MINES (gold mining); LOTUSDEVELOPMENT (spreadsheet software); NORDRESOURCES (mining exploration and develop-ment), and TELERATE (nationwide credit cardauthorization.)
I urge you not to wrack your brains trying to ex-plain the stock market's actions. Nor should youlisten to those who think they can do so. Accept thefact that the market moves up and down "becauseit is its nature to". Instead, spend your time andenergy in searching for stocks like those listedabove, whose fundamentals are good and trendspositive, (or use my list that I've researched foryou), which should greatly increase your chances ofprofit. Good luck!D
cityMatsumoto Gallery recognizable without sign
Despite the lack of an identifying sign, well-wishers and art enthusiasts managed to find theirway to the grand opening of Matsuoto Gallery onTarpon Bay Road.
Sanibel's code enforcement officer Dick Bakercited gallery owners Polly and Ikki Matsumoto theweek before the celebration on Friday for a signviolation.
The sign which was taken down included the
name of the three business in the eye-catching com-plex — Matsumoto Gallery, Gary David Design, andWildlife Expression. According to the Sanibel signordinance, three businesses constitute a shoppingcenter, and only the name of the center cafi go on astreet sign.
Islanders have been commenting for weeks thatthe buildings are advertising enough, painted abrilliant tropical blue with purple and green windowtrim.D

Sanibel is within the contamination radiusof this devastating disease of coconut

A specter is haunting thebarrier islands — "the specterof lethal yellowing. This
disease affecting coconut palms andother varieties of palm trees hasbeen detected on Fort Myers Beachat the Red Coconut Trailer Park.With a contamination radius of 4-10 miles, Sanibel's lighthouse end issusceptible.
Victor Yingst, Lee County exten-sion agent for horticulture, con-ducted a helicopter survey ofSanibel and Captiva in January andfound no presence of the disease.Another aerial survey is plannednext month.
South Seas Plantation has beguna program of preventive inoculationof all possibly endangered palms.Fred Hawkins, general manager ofSouth Seas, said his consultationwith officials in Palm Beach andCollier counties convinced him "youcan't be too careful" in dealing withthe disease. He said all propertiesowned by Mariner Group on Sanibeland Captiva would be treated.
Lethal yellowing has been in theCaribbean about 100 years. In 1955it arrived in Key West and by 1968three-quarters of the palms in thatcity were destroyed.
The disease now affects sevenFlorida counties and it is estimatedthat 200,000 coconut palms have

Above: The area of critical concern is four miles from Oak Street, shown by the inner circle. Residents livingin the 10-mile radius, or outer circle, need to monitor their trees.

been destroyed. About 20 palm service have information aboutspecies are affected of whichJamaican tall coconuts, Christmaspalms and Phoenix species (datepalms) are the most common to thearea.
Caused by a bacteria spread by in-sects, lethal yellowing may easily beconfused with other diseases such asfungal bud rot, nutrient deficienciesor lightning damage.
Symptoms begin with "shelling"or premature dropping of coconuts.New flower stalks will be blackrather than golden or creamyyellow.
In the third stage, from which thedisea's'S'-fets its name, the frondsturn yellow, usually beginning withthe oldest fronds and advancing up-ward through the crown.
Death of the bud occurs abouthalfway through the yellowing se-quence. The newly-emerged spearleaf will collapse and may be seenhanging down within the crown.Finally, the top of the tree fallsaway leaving a bare trunk or"telephone pole." Entire forests inJamaica have been stripped by thisinfestation. It takes 3 - 6 months foran infected tree to die.
Lethal yellowing last appeared inLee County in 1971 when it killed2,000 trees.
The disease can be treated by in-jections of oxytetracycline, whichmust be done every four months.This yields, in effect, a tree inremission. The injections may alsobe done preventively, as is beingdone by Mariner Group.
The City of Sanibel is advisingpeople not to plant Jamaican palms.The city and the county extension
resistant strains which may beplanted, such as the Malayan dwarf.
Fort Myers Beach Chamber ofCommerce is also acting as a clear-inghouse for information about in-oculation. It should be noted thatwhen trees are inoculated, thecoconuts must not be eaten.
You can't be too careful(in dealing with thedisease) — FredHawkins, South SeasPlantation.
To preserve an established land-scaping look, it is acceptable toplant a disease-resistant palm nextto a susceptible variety, begin in-oculation of the old tree with an eyetoward removing it if disease oc-curs.
The insects which transmit lethalyellowing may be carried onto theisland in grass, so anyone layingdown turf should be aware of poten-tial danger. And, although there is aquarantine on shipping palms out ofLee County, there are no restric-tions on moving palms within thecounty. So home and businessowners need to be very carefulabout dealing with reputablenurseries.
Lethal yellowing need not because for alarm. It can be controll-ed, as has been done very suc-cessfully in Collier County. Collier •has had a mandatory treatmentprogram since 1974.•

Photographer's slides showthe world's island magic
The Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society's program"Island Magic and the Galapagos," tonight, March19, at Sanibel Community Center will be a slidepresentation based on the speaker Alvah Sanborn'stravels and photographs taken on sixteen islandsaround the world.
The program starts with every man's fantasy oflife on a tropical island and proceeds to a briefdiscussion of how islands are formed, the way inwhich life reaches these islands and why the birdsof these oceanic islands are so lacking in fear. Em-phasis will be on the Galapagos Islands and theirbird and other animal life.
Alvah Sanborn is a graduate of Cornell Universitywhere he studied under Arthur A. Allen, noted pro-fessor of ornithology. For twenty-seven years, San-born was director of Massachusetts Audubon Socie-ty's Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and NatureCenter in Lenox, MS. He also taught ornithology atBerkshire Community College, and for ten yearspresented film programs on National AudubonSociety's "Wildlife Screen Tours."
Since retiring, Mr. Sanborn has been engaged inwildlife photography and writing. His illustrated ar-ticles have appeared in such magazines as AudvbonMagazine, Down East, Up Country, Berkshire's Weekand the New York Times.O

artsA modern touch toold-fashioned quilting beeBy Fran Nuelle
I t was a latter day version of aquilting bee.
Frances Abell Brand ofSanibel was there. So was BetsyCraig with her mother, CarolineCollier Porter, also of Sanibel, withher antique blanket with quiltedfigures.
Nobody was quilting — for themoment. They were simply admir-ing the efforts of some quilterselsewhere as they fingered the finedesigns and discussed the techni-ques of two very different artisticschools.
Dona Krienke had the group inthrall — as she probably alwaysdoes when she lectures on the worksof her Hmong — or Laotian moun-tain people — or the Amish, as shedid recently at Shell Point Village.
But this day, Krienke and hus-band, Mel, were in their shop on.San Carlos Boulevard on the way toFort Myers Beach, which they hadrented for two months thiswinter. At other times, Dona'sEthnic Crafts is in Osseo, WI aboutthree hours from Madison.
This year four of the Krienkeshave brought their van load of quiltsand crafts to South Florida. Theircargo contained not only the Amishquilts in which they specialize, butthe Hmong bedspreads in greatquantity.
How Dona got into that is the bigstory, though the beginnings wereinauspicious enough.
It was in Wisconsin, just before
Christmas, 1980, when Dona, wasasked to transport newly-settledLaotian refugees from a nearbytown to their church for a meeting."I had to think it was going to be achore when I had so much to dobefore Christmas," she comments."Then the night of the meeting, thefew turned into seventeen peoplefor the ride."
Krienke, a maker of draperies aswell as an ethnic craft's shopowner,found herself concerned about theHmong and how these sufferersunder communists in Laos wouldget along in America.
According to Dona, the largestgroup of Hmong are in California;12,000 have resettled in Minnesotaand 1,200 are not too far fromOsseo in Wisconsin.
"So then I was sponsoring onefamily — Tang Va Thao — but in-stead of bringing this family to ourlittle town, we arranged for them tolive in Eau Claire, about twentymiles away where the others lived,'she says.
Through the stewardshipsecretary of her own church shefound out what the Hmong and notjust the family of Tang Va Thaoneeded. "The whole next year wasdevoted to getting them the properthings," she says.
Realizing that it was through thestewardship secretary that a lot ofthe church's missionary work gotdone, Dona, in her zeal to help theseoppressed peoples, herself becamethe stewardship secretary.
Mel, meanwhile, was handling the• please see page 16B

Frances Brand with two of her quilts, "Cape Cod Memories" (right)and "Early Americana Revisited."
Quilter Frances plays the waiting game
When and if the AmericanQuilters' Society selectsFrances Abell Brand's
quilts for their annual show in Aprilin Paducah, KY, the able quilter isready. She and her husband,Howard, carted them down to theirwinter residence on Sanibel fromCape Cod and will ship them off for-thwith.
One of those quilts, entered in theinnovative class, is, in fact, "CapeCod Memories" but the inspirationfor it is from the Victoria andAlbert Museum in London.
"I just happened to be in themuseum and saw a mosaic fromUtica, Greece, dating from 100A.D.," says Brand. "So there's .nothing new under the sun."
Well, yes, there is. It is her hand-some and exotic version of thosememories all artfully placed andworked out in tones of cranberry,navy and camel — a full-sized quiltwith pillow sham.
It's a medallion-type quilt, accor-ding to Frances, and among the"memories" are stylized lobsters inthe middle, with waves, or perhapsits the view of Cape Cod, some sug-gestion of the Bass River in an in-ner border and Canadian geese inthe outer border. Perfectly matchedto go with it is the sham with itscranberries in the bogs, scrub oakleaves and other fascinations.
"I'm just waiting," says Frances.If the Society which has
out these designs in almost perfectstitches, having designed the pat-terns for the birds herself.
When the American Quilters'Society beckons, she will send thatone off, too.
Meanwhile the avid quilter'shands are not idle. Brand spendsabout three or four hours a dayquilting and has for six years. In ad-dition, she belongs to the BayberryQuilters on Cape Cod, the NewEngland Quilters Guild, which isopening a new museum in Lowell,MA, and, of course, the AmericanQuilters Society.
"It was an old lady who showedme how to do it," says Brandsolemnly. "That was before WorldWar II and we were living in SanDiego for part of the year."
Nevertheless, with two sons —Craig, now 42, and Gary, now 37 —still-young Brand did not quilt asobsessively as she does today. Butsix years ago, she started studyingwith Gail Binney Winslow who has astudio in South Orleans, MA and •found her particular favoritecreative medium.
"I've made about twenty now,"says Brand. Naturally, all of thebeds in her three-bedroom house onthe Cape have quilts but in more re-cent years, they have been originaldesigns.
Designing is not, however, a newexpression of Brand's artistic talent."I used to restore and decorate setsof Hitchcock chairs, Boston rockers,

That was in the 1960s when sheworked for a bank trust-companyfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., took care ofthe children, but found time to do it,anyway.
It is fitting that Howard seems asproud of his wife's quilts as she is.That summons for "Cape Cod
will immediately send it off.Another of Brand's entries is in the
log cabin category and this, too,should be a winner with its inter-woven wild goose chase motif, acombination of two patterns actual-

Murney Lewis at Sanibel IslandMarina says several of his captainsare also having good luck with cobiaand pompano in the bay. Andtripletail are turning up around thetraps out in the gulf.
About the only thing biting withany certainty, though, is trout. Andas Captiva charterboat CaptainJerry Way reports, "There's somenice size for a change."

'Pleasure' shrimpers can overdo after home freezer's fullBy Fritz and Norma Stoppelbein
Since we began checking intowhat has been going on nearshore, with shrimpers and
crabbers getting into each other'shair, we found a whole new can ofworms.
The Florida Marine Patrol reportsthat on any given night, withreasonable seas, upward of 30 boatsmay be found trawling small shrimpnets behind them in the area of con-tention, just off from shore. Theseare not commercial trawlers, butpleasure boats from 16 feet and upin length.
For the uninitiated, shrimp burythemselves in the bottom sand ormud during the daylight hours and,after dark, come out of hiding tofeed. For this reason, most shrimp-ing, commercial or otherwise, takesplace at night when the quarry isabove bottom.
The most common trawl in use isa small version of the large trawlused by the large commericalshrimp boats. The commercial boatsuse such a small trawl as this, calleda "try net," to locate a good shrim-ping area before setting out thelarge trawl nets, or before changingto a different direction.
The try net is no more than 15feet long and about two feet high atits mouth. It is attached to twowooden "doors," which angle out-wards and serve as wings to keepthe net stretched wide while beingtowed behind the boat. There aresteel plates on the bottom edges ofthe doors to help them skid alongthe bottom and over rocks.
A heavy chain, called a ticklerchain, is stretched between thedoors. As its name implies, it
"tickles" the bottom and shakes upany shrimp still buried in the sand,causing them to jump up and bescooped into the net.
The use of these small shrimptrawls began to proliferate in thewaters off Lee County a couple ofyears ago. Their use has been a ma-jor concern in other areas of thestate for several years. The St.Johns River, below Jacksonville,was one of the first areas to attract"pleasure" shrimpers in such greatnumbers that several laws havebeen enacted to try to protect themarine life and habitat, as well asthe stocks of juvenile shrimpthemselves.
The average pleasure shrimpercould usually find from 10 to 12pounds of shrimp after trawling anhour or so in the dark of night — ifhe found an area not already"shrimped out" by another trawler.
Pulling a small net is legal as longas the shrimp are for personal useand not sold. There have beenthose, however, who got carriedaway with the program, and insome areas of the state, dealershave been offered several hundredpounds of "surplus" shrimp bysmall boaters who had filled theirown freezer and those of family andfriends and still kept going back formore.
And soon there is an armada at-tacking not only the shrimp stocksbut destroying unknown acres ofbottom life — vegetation andmarine life such as juvenile fish,crabs, seahorses and Seashells.
Shrimp and other marine speciesare thus removed as natural foodsupply for resident and migrating
species such as tarpon, snook,Spanish mackerel, trout and reds. Italso reduces the number of shrimpleft to migrate further offshore tocontinue the life cycle for the nextgeneration.
There are certain areas of thestate where trawling inshore ornear shore is prohibited, in somecases year round, in some cases cer-tain times of the year. From the ,' '•Lee/Collier county line south to theKeys, no trawling is allowed,January 1 to May 20, within a boun-dary line which, basically, is the lineseparating state and federal waters.This law was enacted to avoid con-flicts between shrimpers and crab-bers when the stone crab stockstend to move further offshore thanduring the fall of the year.
But there is no such restriction offLee County.
The same rationale, which produc-ed restrictive rules for certainpopular finfish, will have to be ap-plied to shrimp if the stocks are tosurvive. Just as had been learnedfrom the decline of finfish, man hasto be protected from himself. Theoceans can no longer provide anunlimited supply of seafood tosatisfy man's ever-increasingdemands.
The Florida Marine FisheriesCommission has scheduled fiveworkshops around the state thismonth to discuss the status ofshrimp resources, conflicts betweenuser groups, and suggestions for im-proving the management andharvest of shrimp.
The meeting locally will be March25 in Room A, Lee County Cour-thouse, 2115 Second Street, Fort
Myers, beginning at 7 p.m.Meetings are open to the public.
We understand from commercialshrimpers that the catch has beenpoor this season, which has meantthat some have moved in to workthe areas closer to shore in recentweeks. In doing so, they have runafoul of some of the stone crabtraps since it is difficult to see themat night.
Aside from that problem, it is afact that the trawls pick up a cer-tain amount of bycatch, not onlyjuvenile finfish but turtles. TheCaretta Research folks have beenbusy picking up dead turtles thatwash ashore. A stone crabber toldus he saw three floating out nearhis line of traps a few weeks ago.Although there is no positive proof,it is most likely that these were vic-tims of having been scooped up inshrimp trawls and dragged throughthe water for an Hour or so.
After several years of experimen-tal research, a device has finallybeen developed which will excludemost of the finfish and turtlebycatch in shrimp trawling opera-tions. It was first called a TurtleExtruder Device, but when with fur-ther refinement it was found thatthe bycatch of finfish was alsoreduced substantially, and wasrenamed Trawling Efficiency Device(TED).
In view of the statistics fromscientists that four to 12 pounds offinfish are taken for each pound ofshrimp harvested, it is past the timefor the industry to protect theresource upon which it depends,especially since it has also proventhat the TEDs result in little loss ofshrimp.D

Over-50s get weeklyAdrenalin boost'By Matt Perez
In 1983, a group of island tennisbuffs from Sonesta Sanibel Harbour Resortventured to Southwest Florida clubs in search
of a little competition.The group, comprised of men over 50, decided it
was time to find an organized outlet for their tennisskills.
So said Jack Clark, one of 14 members of SonestaSanibel Snowbirds, which in the first year of the50-Plus Tennis League in Lee County, whipped fiveother area teams to win the first championship.
"Unfortunately, the bad news is we lost our play-off match to Naples Bath and Tennis," Clark said.That loss March 10 at Naples put the Snowbirds outof the running in the Southwest Florida TennisAssociation competition.
The Snowbirds finished the season 24-6 beforetheir 3-2 loss to Naples. The Naples team was30-zip in Collier County this season.
Right: Dick Schall,left, and Jack Clark,right, get set for a-return volley duringSonesta Sayiibel Har-bour Snowbird's finalhome match.
Final Standings for 1986-87 season of Lee County50-Plus League:

The Snowbirds' team formation was instigated byBill Baker, Clark said, because of success in the few"out of town" games during 1983-1986.
All but one member of the Sonesta team crossesthe causeway from Sanibel to play at the PuntaRassa resort. What makes the group interesting,Clark said, is where the team members fly southfrom during winter.
"Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,New Jersey," he said listing the home cities andstates of team members. "We come from all over."
The team includes doctors, lawyers, chemists andbusinessmen. The youngest is 55, the oldest is 73.

Clark agreed many mates on his team are former Members of the Sanibel Sonesta Harbourcollege athletes: a wrestler, a decathlete, a kayak Snowbirds Championship Team include: Bill Baker,racer and even a tennis player.

QUILTING• from page 7Bquilts and the crafts down at theshop, certainly a switch for a retiredhardware store owner who was alsobeing lured out of retirement.
By then Dona had arranged forthe Hmong group's first craft fair inthe summer of 1981. "I was used tothe numbers — sixty came to workat one craft fair table," she says,still with a sense of astonishment.
It was natural that theneedleworking women of theHmong thought that Krienke couldsell her work through the Osseoshop, and they turned to her.
"My son said, 'Mom, you ought topay them full share because it's the'right thing to do'," Dona continued.So from the sale of one table mat,runner or bedspread, Krienkereturns two-thirds of the amount tothe worker.
"It's so refreshing to do this," shesays with enthusiasm. "I could worktwelve hours a day."
On a day last week she was cer-tainly putting in long hours, some ofit having little to do with eitherAmish or Hmong quilts.
Yes, Caroline Collier Porter ofSanibel was there with that agedred blanket her darjjhter called a"sickie" blanket. Betsy Craig, alsoan authority on quilts, and Carolinehad it spread out and it was ad-mired by everyone. Along1 theborders were quilted "people" andon the body of it were quiltedanimals.
Betsy was explaining that hermother had kept the quilt in suchgood condition because she had onlybeen allowed to have it as a childwhen she was "sick"; hence, the"sickie" designation.
As for Betsy herself, she was verymuch in the quilting business, too inBlanchester, OH. She had just givena talk on Estero Island to hermother's DAR group, and for sixyears she has had a quilting seminarbusiness workshop, she says.
"I sell it as a day away in thecountry for twenty-five dollars ahead," Betsy explains. "It's achance for women to get away anddo somthing they like doing."
So goes the modern quiltingbee.D

Sales tax exemptionstough issues for legislators
C calling it the most important issue before thestate legislature this coming session, localstate legislators offered differing opinions on
which items should remain exempt from sales tax.Speaking at the monthly meeting of the Cape
Coral Chamber of Commerce, Sen. Fred Dudley(R-Cape Coral), Rep. J. Keith Arnold (D-FortMyers) and Rep. Tim Ireland (R-Cape Coral) offereda variety of opinions on what should happen whenthe tax exemptions sunset in July 1987.
Dudley pointed out that "unless the law is chang-ed...beginning the first of July there will be a 5 per-cent sales tax on services."
While there are a variety of areas that thelegislators as a whole agree must be scrutinized, hesaid that there is general agreement that servicessuch as medical care, banking services and in-surance commissions and premiums should not betaxed. When the legislature voted to place a sunseton all tax exemptions last year, the goal was to lookat all the exemptions on an individual basis.
Arnold said he agreed with Dudley that there area number of exemptions that were approved for noapparent reason. Most of these have been removed— liked dry cleaning and coin operated laundry —and should have been.
Florida, however, is faced with an intense growthrate pushing it to the third largest state by the turnof the century. At the same time Florida is fifty-first in per capita taxation, he said.
There is the need to generate revenue to pay forthe additional expenses caused by growth. Arnoldsaid. •

National Wildlife WeekVolunteers suffer -'pain- in thebutt' to monitor island ospreys
An angry osprey floats on a up-drafi while The International •Osprey Foundation volunteers Markand Janie Westall and Pattee andDavid Loveland work to check itsnest status. Inset: Pattee Loveland
By Matt Perez
M ark "Bird" Westall poppedout of a mangrove thicketnear Venus Drive, an
osprey screaming at him frombehind the green curtain.
He sarcastically said ospreys likehim least of all islanders consideringhe is always poking his telescopingmirror into their nests; 60 neststhrough Sanibel to be precise.
Westall is president of Sanibel-based The International OspreyFoundation, a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to help preserve andstudy raptors, or birds of prey.
Volunteers David Loveland; whoworks for the Southwest FloridaRegional Planning Council, and wifePattee Loveland, a teacher at CapeCoral Elementary School, joinedWestall and his wife Janie to checkeach island osprey nest last Satur-day.
Said David Loveland: "We mustbye what we're doing because it's apain in the butt."
Part of the pain came from haul-ing an extension ladder, canoes,binoculars and the intrudingtelescoping mirror throughmangrove thickets, wading thigh-deep through the muck at points.
"He ("Bird") was real happy tohave young volunteers because thisis a lot of hard work," Lovelandsaid. .
Westall has even suffered injury:once when an osprey decided tosend him to the doctor for stitchesafter he poked his mirror once toooften in her nest.
But the Lovelands also said theyenjoy the opportunity to see a uni-que part of Sanibel and learn moreabout the fish-eating raptors.
The timing for the regular nestcheck is perfect since March is thefirst month in International Year ofthe Raptor as declared by WorldWorking Group on Birds of Preyand Owls.
Unfortunately, the weather onSanibel has been less than perfectfor ospreys.
' 'The bad weather has caused usto lose some," Westall said. "It'stoo early to tell how severe it's go-ing to be."
But things could be worse.Westall said that in 1979, there
were only 35 occupied nests onSanibel compared with the current60. Part of that resurgence inosprey population has been the suc-cess of 34 artificial nesting plat-forms occupied last year by the rap-tors. ___^Eggs^white and spotted with
brown, were noted in 31 of the ar-tificial platform nests comparedwith 15 natural nests, according toOsprey Observer, TIOF's newsletter.
Westall hopes proven technology,like the platforms, that helps en-courage repopulation of ospreys,can be used worldwide if needed.Also, he said it is important to makethose populations stable once inplace.
When asked if there is enoughworldwide interest in preservingraptors, Westall said, "I don't knowif you can ever generate enough in-terest." •
Ding cartoonistwith a missionBy Eileen Meisel , -
This report is the third of a four-part history series. The history ofthe J.N. "Ding" Darling NationalWildlife Refuge will be discussed in •the next report Who "Ding" Darl-ing was is discussed in this report ofone man's contribution to conserva-tion and to the National WildlifeRefuge System.
Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling(1876-1962) was born in Norwood,MI. He was a two-time PulitzerPrize-winning cartoonist. He beganhis cartooning career in 1900 and
retired from cartooning fifty yearslater.
His nationally syndicated work ap-peared in more than 100 dailynewspapers and was read by
. millions of Americans'. Many of hiscartoons dealt with waterfowl andthe conservation of naturalresources.
His first work as an artist was onthe Beloit College yearbook wherehis familiar signature "Ding" ap-peared. A contraction of his lastname, "Ding", became his nicknameand a trademark on his cartoons.
In the 1930s, he served for two. years as Franklin D. Roosevelt'schief of the U.S. Biological Survey,

CROW to seek more off-islandsupport, renew rescue effort-By Matt Perez
The need to garner more off-island support to further itsgoal of treating wildlife pa-

Horseshoe crab called 'Blue Blood'of Sanibel
L
By Mary Coleman
The animal Dr. Elias Cohen refers to as the"Blue Blood of Sanibel" comes by that titlequite honestly and literally, equivocations of
elderly ladies from Boston to the contrary.The blue-blood of Sanibel and the entire eastern
coast is the horseshoe crab and it has been the sub-. ject of Dr. Cohen's life's work. An imrhuriologistwho is currently Associate Chief in the Departmentof Laboratory Medicine ROswell Park Memorial In-stitute in Buffalo, NY, he has been doing clinicalresearch on the blood of the horseshoe crab sincethe 1960s. As a result of this research and protocols
developed for the banking of horseshoe crab blood,the blood is now routinely used in diagnosis andhealth surveillance of humans. .
The horseshoe crab is thought to be 50-60 millionyears old. With a flexible shell divided into threeparts and a long, spiny tail, it is not a true crab, butis more closely related to spiders and scorpions.Most crustaceans have five pairs of appendages,and the horseshoe has six.
The horseshoe crab is also called the king craband is native to an area from Nova Scotia to theGulf of Mexico. ^ ,

Movie makers shun 'springhas sprung' themeBy CHf Potter
The tilt of the earth's axis withrespect to the sun indicatesthat spring is on schedule and
will signify the beginning of a newseason on March 20 by rescuingresidents and guests from the an-nual harsh Florida winter. Those 80degree days and 60 degree nightsare hard to take! At any rate thedenotation of this yearly blessing isnot to be confused with other spr-ings in common use: springboard,spring chicken, spring cleaning, spr-ing steel or spring water.
R.G. Springsteen, director ofmany western movies before thesuccess of his chronological filmOperation Eichmann (1961), madehis finest contribution in his direc-tion of the 1958 movie Come NextSpring. Another Springsteen(Bruce) reputedly added to his fameby closing the gap between his frontteeth and automatically eliminatinghimself from the Ernest Borgnineclub.
Seriously, the word "spring" hasa poor rating for usage as part ofthe film titling process. For in-stance, the word "love" leads thefield with its inclusion in thousandsof titles. The 1927 Gilbert-Garbofilm Love was deemed by MGM headLouis B. Mayer to be more ap-propriate than Tolstoy's selection ofAnna Karenina for his novel.However, this original title was us-ed in Garbo's remake in 1935, andanother version with Vivien Leighin 1948 — both met success withoutthe magic word.
In the spring a young man'sthoughts turn to the same thinghe's been thinking of all winter, and
ClifPotter
Ray Milland proved it in It HappensEvery Spring (1949). Even the silentfilms allowed the game of love to in-terfere with the more importantgame of golf in Spring Fever (1927).Lew Ayres became entangled twicein two years: the first in 1935 Spr-ing Tonic with Claire Trevor, andtwo years later in Spring Madness.The latter was unique in its collegemovie theme with the absence ofthe usual athletics, and therefore nofootball win-the-game climax. Bothstars, Ayres and Burgess Meredithare still active in films; both born in1908 stamps them as alumni pro-fessors and long departed fromtheir 1937 romps as spring-breakingcollege kids.
Edward Everett Horton was stillcharming stage audiences at the ageof 82 with his decade-long farewellappearances in Springtime forHenry. Although he never made afilm of the play his yearly perfor-mances in New England stocktheaters were accepted as tradi-tional. His befuddled and nervousimage is kept alive by the popularityof the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogersclassic movie reruns on TV. Knownby his doomsday utterance "Oh,dear!" he can still be enjoyed in TopHat, Shall We Dance, and The GayDivorcee.

By William E.Schamadan, M.D.
The "Magic Bul-lets" you're read-reading about
are products calledmonoclonal antibodies.These amazing crea-tions of geneticengineering are provid-ing a fourth dimensionto the treatment ofcancer. You shouldknow about them.
Cancer has tradi-tionally been treated bysurgery, radiation,chemotherapy, or anycombination of thosemethods. Now it ap-pears that compoundsproduced by the body'simmune system can beencouraged to play amuch more prominentrole the detection andtreatment of cancer.
There are many dif-ferent biologicalmodifiers in this group,but I'll only try to ex-
plain the antibodies.Antibodies are specialcompounds which thebody produces in re-sponse to almost anyforeign substance. Thesubstance could be liv-ing matter like bacteria,or inert particles likedust, or a drug likedigitalis, or a chemicallike the resin on poisonivy leaves.
When the antibodieshave been produced,they try to destroy orinactivate the foreignsubstance which was re-sponsible for their pro-duction. They do this byat taching to veryspecific binding sites onthe surface of theforeign substance,much like a key fits intoa lock. A foreign sub-stance which is capableof stimulating antibodyproduction is called anantigen.
Cancer cells are dif-ferent from the body's
normal cells and can beenough of a "foreignsubstance", or antigen,to stimulate the produc-tion of anti-cancer anti-bodies. In people whodevelop cancer, how-ever, there seems to besomething wrong withthe immune responsemechanism, and the ap-propriate antibodies arenot produced. The usualway to obtain largeenough quantities of adesired antibody is toinject the antigen intonormal healthy in-dividuals (or animals),wait for antibody pro-duction to take place,and then extract thedesired antibody fromblood samples. Obvious-ly we can't inject cancercells into healty peple,and the antibodies weget from using animalsare not precise enoughto do the job.
Antibodies are pro-duced by white blood
Dr. Schamadan
cells. There are manydifferent types of whiteblood cells, so when anantigen is injected intoa living animal, thereare many differentkinds of antibodies pro-duced. In 1975, twoBritish researchers,Cesar Milstein andGeorge Kohler, earnedthe Nobel Prize fordeveloping the "fac-tory" which would pro-duce a single type of an-tibody.
A mouse is injectedwith cancer cells. Thereis an increase in thenumber of white bloodcells as the mouseresponds to this an-tigen. The WBC's arecollected as the mouseresponds to this an-tigen. The WBC's arecollected and separatedinto individual types.Individual cells of the
desired type (which willonly make one type ofantibody) are foundwith individual cells of aparticular kind ofcancer called amyeloma. This newtwo-cell tumor is calleda hybridoma. (Omameans tumor, andhybrid means biological-ly different parents.)
The WBC part of thishybridoma producesone (mono) type of pureantibody, and themyeloma cell partcauses this "tumor" toreproduce itself exactly(clone itself) endlessly.Hence the name mono-clonal antibodies. Whengrown in tissue culture,this hybridoma can pro-duce large quantities ofthe desired antibody.
But this is only part of
the story. The an-tibodies can be hookedup with a cancer-killingdrug or particles whichemit radiation. They arethen injected into a pa-tient who has cancerwhere they go on a"search and destroy"mission.
And the possibilitiesare just beginning tounfold. Using the sametechnology, it seemspossible to producebiologicals which willprevent rejection oftransplanted organs,map the exact extent ofa heart attack of strokeor athletic injury, iden-tify unknown drugs in apatient with an over-dose, identify con-taminants in food or theenvironment, or leachvaluable chemicals outof a complex solution.This science is in its in-fancy, but the ground-work has been laid andnew discoveries willcome rapidly. And whenthey do, they will helpto preserve the well be-ing of us all.D

Scott Yuille discovers 'Camelot' at ECCWho is luckier — Scott Yuilleor the Performing Arts Hall?
By Barbara John
6 6 ^ 1 idney Poitier I'm not. Bill Cosby and^ ^ Richard Pryor had comedy all sewn up.**-* James Earl Jones was taking care of
Shakespeare . . . Moses Gunn, television.With these few words Scott Yuille, technical
director for the Barbara S. Mann Performing ArtsHall explained why he decided to aim the spotlightson others, rather than hope they would shine onhim.
Even as a young, middle class black boy growingup in Long Island, New York, he knew he wantedto be in the theatre. He thought he wanted to be anactor . . . and he worked at it, all through highschool and into college. He remembers his first rolewe l l . . . the part of Adlai Stevenson in Gore Vidal's"The Best Man". The school board stepped in andsaid, "You can't do t h a t . . . the drama teacher hadcast a white girl as the wife."
Yuille, now 37, said, "That was a long time ago. . . it was a much too progressive idea for Amity-ville, New York."
But Scott was determined to try the theatre, sowith his mother's help and a little deception, theygot their address changed to Brooklyn, N.Y. soScott could ride the Long Island Railroad's 6:09a.m. train into the city every morning where he wasenrolled at New York City's High School of thePerforming Arts.
Had he continued with his acting ambitions, hisdream roles would have been either "King Lear" or"MacBeth" . . . "because I loved their roles as men. . . as people . . . roles that would have allowedsome tenderness . . . great sensitivity to translateitself to an audience."
Yuille's sensitivity was apparent as he explainedthat he became a high school dropout and spentthree years in the army in Vietnam. An invisibleshudder was apparent as he skimmed over the sub-ject, but admitted that "I am still recovering fromseeing the movie 'Platoon.' "
Like most vets, his return to the States brought
Scott YueUe backstage at Barbara B. Mann Perform-ing Arts Hall.
on a period of doing "basically nothing." But thereturn to civilian life was spurred by FordhamUniversity's program for veterans, where creditwas given for "life experiences" as well as a testingmethod that encouragea a four-week crash courseat Lincoln Center. "If £ vet could score at the samelevel on the SAT as any high school graduate apply-ing as an incoming freshman, that was all it took.
"I ended up with a ]B.A. degree in theatre, whichcombined English literature and a degree in educa-tion, so I was qualified to teach.
The word "lucky" kept cropping up in talkingwith Scott. He first used the word when tellingabout getting into the Performing Arts high school.The next time he used it was in describing some ofthe courses he studied at Fordham . . . "MargaretMead was chairman of the sociology department,"he said. "She was still writing in those days . . .and once a week gave a lecture to our group . . . Iwas really 'lucky'. Imagine getting to study underthe greatest sociologist of our times!"
By this time Scott had given up acting and hadmoved into the backstage area of theater. Hebecame fascinated with the magic of stagecraft thathe saw created. It must have been evident, even
then, that he has a kind of magic in him, becausebefore he was graduated, he was running the back-stage shop at Fordham.
He also made application for graduate work atthe University of Iowa, University of Texas andColumbia University. His advisor asked "Why? Youshould get into a theater department of designYale would be a good place to go."
And go he did, emerging in June of 1977 with amaster's degree in drama, ie: theater design andtechnology.
He does not design sets. The training was forhigher levels . . . a level of engineering thatqualifies him as a virtual consultant to architects,engineers, contractors. "At the time I was at Yale,I didn't realize what I was being trained for," hecontinued, but in the outside world it became ap-parent that theaters either need breaks repaired,additions or expansions...or buildings being built.' Iwas trained to make;the decisions as to where acontrol room should Joe...or light pipes or any of thethousands of technical aspects of the backstage sideof a theater. /
In the meantime,/he also completed the NationalTeacher's Association's requirements for permanentteaching certification in New York, New Jersey andConnecticut. So hp taught, first as an eigth grade
English teacher atf Jackie Robinson Middle Schoolin New Haven, CT. His next move was to the col-lege level at Providence College (RI) where he bothtaught and becaihe technical director of the theaterarts program. His next move was to Kingswood-Oxford, an elitist prep school in West Hartford, CT."It is only coincidence, but one of the otherteachers at Kingswood was Graham Brown, cur-rently Headmaster at the Canterbury School here inFort Myers," Scott said in an "isn't it a smallworld" tone.
After four years at Kingswood and an amicabledivorce, he decided to move back to "the BigApple", where he joined a company specializing intrade shows. Here he learned estimating, budget-ing, scheduling, and crew supervision.
The versatile Scott Yuille is also a short story andpoetry writer, a runner and a student of MandarinChinese.

with a grain of saltEat atsnail's paceto enjoytheseescargotBy Ginni Brown
D id you ever hearof Richard Q.Snail? He was a
young man obsessedsince childhood in winn-ing a Grand Prix autorace. When he hadgathered enoughmoney, he bought a tru-ly beautiful red racingmachine, emblazonedwith an "S" on bothdoors. After enrollingin Carroll Shelby's rac-ing school, and passingwith high honors, hefinally entered his firstGrand Prix race. WhileRichard was leading thepack of growlingautomobiles around thesecond curve, a littleboy in the crowd tuggedon his father's jacketand squealed, "Ooooh,Daddy, lookit that "S"car go!"
Speaking of snails, orescargot, the ancientRomans, who absolute-ly doted on them, fedthem hot spicy soupsand bay leaves, so theywould be pre-seasoned.Unlike the Romans,however, few of us to-day have seen live edi-ble snails at our localsupermarket, so wemake do with the cann-
ed variety, and therebymiss all the bother ofhaving to starve the lit-tle creatures for 48hours before feedingthem fresh lettuceleaves and cornmeal...the absolute sine quanon for producing asnail that's fit to eat.
And canned snails areabsolutely deliciouswith a few addedtouches. Warning . . .you must buy the shellsseparately. They arewashable and can be re-used. Snail plates andtongs are nice, too, buta shallow oven-proofbowl, a couple of oysterforks and a lot of thicknapkins will do as well.
Cream a half pound ofbutter with one Tbsp. ofeach of the following:minced scallion, crush-ed garlic, lime juice,minced fresh or driedparsley and add a pinchof salt.
Rinse the cannedsnails in a colanderunder running water.
Put one third tsp.good red burgandy ineach shell and drop inone of the rinsed snails.Then pack the shellfirmly with the buttermixture.
The extra-specialsecret tip is: when allshells are stuffed,refrigerate until butterhas quite hardened, atleast an hour.
You can also fix themin the morning andsafely hold them,
Ginni Brown
covered and refrig-erated, until evening.
Figure six to ninesnails per person. Ifcooking for one, youmay freeze the left-overbut te r and snailsseparately, for useanother time. Whenfreezing snails, makesure they are complete-ly covered with water,in a small container orthey won't be usable thenext time.
When ready to serve,place in a pre-Tieated375 degree oven for justa very few minutes untilthe butter is all meltedand just beginning tobubble a little.
Be careful not toovercook them, as theheat will harden theircartilage and makethem very gritty.
I serve these with acrusty bread, since sop-ping up that deliciousbutter is at least halfthe fun. Ignore yoursqueamish friends whosuggest that you can dothe whole thing withoutthe snails, if the butteris that good. I supposeyou could, but theescargot is definitelythe other half the fun!D

'Camelot'• from page 6C
He also has a dynamic, energetic mother, KlydeHunter, who, in 1984 "retired" to Fort Myers."Retired?" he said laughingly. "I don't even try tokeep up with her. She started her 'retirement' bygetting involved with a Dunbar real estate deal,which turned out to be a scam. She then becamedirector of the Ella Piper Center, where she is stilla consultant, although she has moved into a newarea as founder and president of the Velasco Train-ing Group, designed to help the hard core un-employed.
Scott came to visit his mother. He returned toNew York, sold his car and all his furnishings andmoved to Fort Myers. He got caught up in thefailed real estate deal and went to work at a trussshop near Page Field. Scott started to think aboutreturning to teaching. He went to ECC to apply fora job.
"I figured I could teach business English, or . . ."That's as far as he got. "I got lucky," he said oncemore. The personnel counsellor took one look at hisresume and said, "Why don't you apply for that joblisted on the bulletin board?"
The job was for technical director at the soon tobe opened Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall.The rest is history. He filled out his application on aMonday, received a call from Dr. Jim Caine's officeon Tuesday; was interviewed on Thursday; receiveda call from Dr. Caine's office on Friday, and be-came technical director on Monday . . mid-November 1985, just six weeks ahead of the open-ing of Southwest Floroda's most prestigioustheater.
A quick estimate is that there were 180 events atthe hall between January and May, 1986; probably300 events scheduled for this season, with about 25percent being theatrical offerings. "I'm here for 99percent of the stage shows," he said. "Let's see . . .I had a night off when the Barbershop Quartet washere. I took a night off during a recent run of"Johnny Reb" . . . and I may get off the night thesymphony orchestra is here.
"I love it! It's something new every day . . . onBroadway, you just do one show . . . here I'm work-ing with these wonderful performers and shows . . .rubbing elbows with David Copperfield, 'The TapDance Kid', Debbie Reynolds, Mitzi Gaynor, DonaldO'Connor . . . and look what's coming, RichardHarris.

maggie's memoriesThinking of presidential aides— Rosalynn and Nancy
By Margaret Mickle
D o you want tohear a story thatwill renew your
faith in human nature?Ruby Ewton lost herpurse containing not somuch money, but, oh,those cards that are sotroublesome to canceland get again. She wor-ried herself just aboutsick, but she didn't haveto worry too long beforeMr. and Mrs. BenitoAdorno and their threekids called on her.
They had picked upher purse and returnedit as fast as they couldwith not a thing miss-ing. They opened thepurse only to identifythe owner. Mr. Adornopointed up to the skyand said "Other peoplemay not know I return-ed it, but the ManUpstairs does."
The way the pursehappened to get lost isthat Ruby is temporari-ly handicapped with abroken arm. So when itcame time to open hercar door, she hung it onthe outside rear viewmirror . . . forgot toretrieve i t . . . and soondiscovered it had fallenoff somewhere, on someunknown street.
If you see a schoolcrossing guard at Han-son and Central by theFort Myers MiddleSchool, with a cast
almost up to hershoulder — that's Ruby.
Benito is a driver forthe Pine Island LumberCompany, and he suregets my Tip of the Hat.
DDDAt last I have
something in commonwith the president. Weboth suffer frommemory lapses. I don'tthink Mr. Muskie ismuch concerned aboutme, but I am. However,I'll take the fameany way I can get it.
DDDRobert Brodecker has
been seen wearingclassy slacks, but nothis "I'm the best hus-band on earth" T-shirt.Bob said that althoughhis wife gave him thatshirt she won't let himwear it anymore sinceshe learned he was look-ing for a second opi-nion.

CROW• from page 1C
To address this problem, a renew-ed effort is being made to more ef-fectively coordinate a volunteeremergency rescue transport(VERTs) system.
CROW on Sunday conducted itsfirst VERTs training session inmore than a year at its facilities onSanibel-Captiva Road. More than65 people in Lee County currentlyare involved in the CROW rescuenetwork. But Reiss said that withlocal population exploding, wildlifewill have to ha^fr more help.
"We're not-just taking care of ourown out here," CROW boardmember Janet Egeland said. "Somany of our patients come from offthe island."
Reiss indicated after the meetingshe would ultimately have CROWfacilities grow to similar status asSuncoast Seabird Sanctuary in In-dian Shores near Clearwater. Thatwildlife care center on one acre ofland is a model of efficiency, shesaid adding that CROW has10-acres of land.
Reiss said finding the time to doall the things necessary to put ad-vanced programs into effect atCROW has been a problem.
But donations of certain itemscould help CROW's effort. A17-foot boat recently received willhelp rescues and releases of wildlife,Reiss said.
Birds brought in from Pine Islandand to be released after rehabilita-tion could be ferried near the islandand freed. If the bird can fly on its
SOLUTION TO CURRENT PUZZLE
own, it will speed landward; if not,it will fall in the water where it cansafely be recovered.
Previous bird releases wentsomething like this scenario: a birdnot fully recovered and released onland could fly to a nearby branchand sit. There was no way to knowwhether it could sustain flight.
And items that float were not theonly donations received by CROW.A 1979 Chevrolet station wagonalso was driven into CROW's cof-fers.
Reiss said the formal budget forthis fiscal year, which began Jan.31, will be formulated by mid-April.Last year CROW operated on a$75,000 budget spending an average$84.27 on each patient.
Total patient load was 888 in 1986including 725 birds and 163 mam-mals. CROW lists primary causesof injury to wildlife as automobiles,fish hooks or monofilament line anddog or cat attacks.
Dr. K.C. Emerson of SanibelAudubon Society donated a collec-tion of bird parasites to help CROWdiagnose diseased birds. This ef-fort, combined with a donatedmicroscope and surgical tools, Reisshopes, will help determine fromwhere the birds are coming andwhat could be causing them pro-blems.
"It's not as frequent that you goto reach for something and its notthere," Reiss said summing up theeffect of donations.
In addition, a certificate of depositworth $10,500 in the bank is whatone CROW spokesman called a"very good cushion to have."D

forerunner of the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service. He refused to ac-cept a salary. He fought successfullyfor the creation and expansion ofthe National Wildlife RefugeSystem and served as the firstpresident of the National WildlifeFederation.
His greatest contribution towildlife was the initiation of theDuck Stamp in 1934. The proceedsfrom the sale of these stamps pur-chase wetlands for wildlife. BeforeDuck Stamps, a total of 120 refugeshad been established. From March1934-1941, another 180 were added.He took a lifelong interest in theselands, which are today marked bythe outline of the flying goose — thesymbol of the National WildlifeRefuge System.
Darling had a winter home on
Captiva Island and worked to bringabout the principles here, he wasadvocating for the nation. Hehelped to establish on Sanibel whatis now known as the Baily Tract ofthe J.N. "Ding" Darling NationalWildlife Refuge. Before his deaththe Baily Tract was purchased bythe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
After he died, approximately sixtyof his colleagues, admirers andfriends, formed the "Ding" DarlingFoundation. Through the efforts ofthis foundation the refuge was ac-quired by the Federal Governmentin 1965.
The Sanibel National WildlifeRefuge was renamed in his honor.The J.N. "Ding" Darling NationalWildlife Refuge was officiallydedicated February 4, 1978, inspecial ceremonies on SanibelIsland.Eileen Meisel is a park guide atJ.N. "Ding" Darling NationalWildlife Refuge.

CRAB.• from page 1C
There are four species of horseshoe crabsthroughout the world. In Japan they are calledkabutogani, or helmet crab; Japanese children usethe shell for a samurai helmet. The Japanese eatthe eggs of the horseshoe crab.
The eggs are also popular with the shore birds ofthe Delaware Bay.
The biological name for the American horseshoecrab is limulus polyphemus, and there is estimatedto be a stable population of 2 Vz million along theAtlantic continental shelf.
The adult animal weighs about four pounds andmolts, or sheds its shell, twice a year. It mates oncea year at high tide. The female comes ashore sur-rounded by about six of the smaller males, who waittheir turn for external fertilization. About 200-300eggs are laid. Unfortunately, the population ispreyed upon not only by birds, but by fishermenwho use them for bait and by the fertilizer industryof the Delaware Bay. The fertilizer industryespecially favors the female carrying eggs to beground up for fertilizer.
Dr. Cohen estimates that bait operations kill100,000 horseshoe crabs each year, or 10-20 timesas many as would be needed for blood research.
The horseshoe crab is almost a chamber of blood,which is gray when drawn and turns blue when ex-posed to oxygen. The hematologic properties of theanimal have enabled its survival through millions ofcenturies, containing proteins which act as naturalantibodies, which actually swallow bacteria. Thehorseshoe crab thrives "in estuaries along the coastwhere pollution is rampant," says Dr. Cohen.
Although rabbits have traditionally been used intesting pharmaceutical products as mandated by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Cohensays the horseshoe crab can perform many of thesame experiments quicker and more efficiently.
The blood of the horseshoe crab is now routinelyused for:
• Breast cancer biopsy;• Testing for bone marrow transplant;• Testing for various spinal and urinary infec-
tions;• Testing for white blood cells in leukemia cases;• Testing for retinitis pigmentosa;• Testing of wells and well water.The limulus polyphemus has not yet been used m
treatment of disease, although Dr. Cohen believesits use in biomedical research will quadruple by theyear 1990. The animals from which blood is drawnneed not be destroyed. The F.D.A. has laid downregulations which say they must be returned to thesea within 72 hours after giving blood.
As they say, noblesse oblige; so the horseshoe crabis a marine aristocrat in more ways than one.D
