Thistle Lodge preservation seems doomedBy Susie HoUy

The fate of Thistle Lodge finally seemstot be*sealed«:-And it may not. be~ pleasant.Those who previously were concernedabout saving l i e historical .building, havenow lost interest.

The 80-year-old home -- the last remain-ing structure of the 14 original buildingswhich made up the island's oldest resort,The Sisters - came to the city's attentionlast October when Sara Gist Toughill askedif she could save the structure. Ms.Toughill grew up in the home, owned fornearly 40 years by her grandparents,Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Cistr and 13«yearsby her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.B. Cist.

Thistle'Lodge is located on -Casa YbelResort property purchased in June byMariner Properties. In March, Marinerplans to begin construction on a new resorton th«r property which means eithermoving or tearing down Thistle Lodge.Mariner President Robert Taylor saidMariner can make no use of the house. Hesaid the structure is in such poor conditionthat restoring it would be too expensive tobe worthwhile.,

Mariner plans to destroy7 Thistle Lodgeunless the city or anyone else wants tomove and restore it. "If it's not of anyinterest to anybody, we will tear it down,"Taylor said this week.

Ms. Toughill has planned to moved thehome to a lot in Clam Bayou. She enlistedthe support of the city, the HistoricalPreservation Committee, and several is-land residents who encouraged her in hereffort. Mariner agreed to give her thehouse if she moved it by January 31.

- The City Council voted to - officiallydesignate. Thistle, Lodge an historical siteto be listed in the land use plan. Councilrecommended {feat the Island Water As-sociation (IWA) make an exception to its

' water moratorium and issue a water- permit to Ms. Toughill. Because of an

island water shortage, IWA has, not issuedwater permits* since June 1.

IWA, however, refused ^to .make an" exception in Ms. ToujghJU> case,, saying,

"Nomore-permitSvWjll'be -issued to-anyone•A«i«Ti;w ^KinV^if^nii^them to

Ms. Toughill said she could not wait forthe moratorium to be lifted. She arguedthat a bank would not finance her project4in7essshe Ka3'a'waterTiook'-up.^" ' "^ ""*

She has now given up the idea of saving

Thistle Lodge and says she wants no morepart of it.

Meanwhile, the Historical Preservation

. By Mark Twpmbly :

In a surprise mpve, the^ South Florida Water Manage-ment District (SFWMD) yesterday blocked efforts by theIsland Water Association (IWA) to end its moratorium onnew water connections by refusing'to approve, a. permitallowing the IWA to take additional water from the LowerHawtho.rn ;aquifer.

TWA officials had expected SFWMD to permit them towithdraw an additional 61 million gallons of brackish watera year from the aquifer; enough to serve 1000 more unitson Sanibel and Captiva. > ' '• / \

The'unexpected action came when Sanibel Mayor ZeeButler told SFWMD officials in West Palm Beach that.approval of the permit should be delayed until thesSariibelCity Council has atcnance to review the information anddata the IWA has submitted to SFWMD, according toIWA General Manager Larry Snell. i

Mrs. Butler was the only city official to attend theSFWMD meeting with the IWA. >

Snell, contacted in West Palm Beach at the conclusion ofthe SFWMD meeting Thursday afternoon, said Mrs!Butler told the SFWMD officials they had promised tocommunicate with city officials concerning the IWAsituation, but had not done so. _ .

The Planning Commission voted unani-imousiy to grant a development permit lor -:the 114-unit project, located at the junc-ture of Casa Ybel Road and West GulfD r i y e p ':•;•],' \ ; • ' v : ; ' ' / • • ' : ? ; . . '.,.->•••;-, . V T'vVf.;- '•• . : .

Mariner purchased -the island's oldestresort from Dayton Enterprises in June for$2.4 million. The resort comprises about 23acres and is "allocated a density of 115 unitsunder the land use plan.

The proposed development will be con-structed in two phases. Though the devel-opment permit was granted for the entireproject; Mariner President Robert Tayloragreed to come back to the Commissionbefore construction on Phase II begins.Part of the second phase will be built in an 'undisturbed area on the' east end of theproperty. The city's vegetation committeerequested a more complete review of thedevelopment in that area.

Taylor said construction of the firstphase, will begin in March and be completedby late next year. Phase I, to be construct-ed on the western portion of the property,will include 56 "cottage-type" dwellingunits, six tennis courts, and a swimmingpool. • •' »

-No date has been set for the completionof the remaining units and four additionaltennis courts of Phase II.

The resort currently has 62 dwellingunits, each with a water hook-up from theIsland Water Association. The net increasein density for the new resort, then, will be52, not 114,.Taylor pointed out.

The existing units are currently beingrented to island residents in what isSanibel's only low-cost housing community.Those cottages will be removed or destroy-ed to make room for the new units. /

Mariner has suggested to the city thatthe cottages be moved so they can continueto provide some low-cost housing for theisland. Mayor Zee Butler^said this week

M a r a e r , and, thus , no action h a s ^ ^ta&iqii^^ : .P. K ^ % i ••:

fc grantmg the development permit toMariner; members of the Planning Com-mission expressed concern about the im-pact of the project. Chairman Ann Winter-botham said, "We 'ought to look for someway to repair damage to Casa Ybel roadcaused by the construction traffic." Tayloragreed that Mariner should pay for anydamage caused by the construction.

The Commissioners also discussed thefate of Thistle Lodge, the.80-year-old homelocated on Casa Ybel property. Some island -residents and members of the city's Hist-orical Preservation Committee recently,requested that Thistle Lodge be savedfrom destruction. . ' , ^

Interest in saving the house has dimin- -ished, however, partly because moving andrestoration would be so costly. The Com-missioners voted Monday to postponemaking a decision on a proposed amend-ment to add Thistle Lodge to the list ofhistorical sites in the land use plan until thefate of the home is certain.

Taylor said Wednesday that Mariner'splans are to tear down the structure-unles'ssomeone steps forward • to move it. Thehouse is located in the area where the newcottages in Phase I are to be built. (Seestory, page 1-A .)

In other business Monday, the PlanningCommission voted against an amendmentto the land use plan which would haveincreased the allowable floor area forconvenience grocery stores in restrictedcommercial areas from 1,500 to 2,400square feet.

- City Council had asked the Commissionto "consider such an amendment afterJames 0. Evans came to the city request-ing he be allowed to increase the squarefootage of a proposed grocery store at hisPlaza Central development on RabbitRoad. He had argued that most conven-ience grocery franchises would not acceptless than'2,400 square feet for a store.

- perform in the manner in which thegovernment was designed. ."

IR: Do you think that you and arelatively small staff can really do all that

. needs be done in handling city business?Nungester: I think immediately we can.

In time I'm sure we'll have to gear up toadditional work as the work load increases.But we can handle the work if we can justget it set down in some order of priorities,

, and tackle those jobs that are importantright now .:.i and set some of the othersaside. :

IR: Why has there been, or indeed hasthere been,' an unusually long delay infilling the position of Director of Planning?

Nungester: Well, yes, I think there hasbeen a longer delay in filling it here thanwe would have experienced in other areas~ for two reasons:

Number one, it's the quality of theindividual we are looking for. There areplanners available, but we don't just wantany planner. It's going to take somebodythat's had experience and good administra-tive ability, and I think we've proven theneed for that ... so we just aren't quick tomove on it:..

Number two, one of the unusual thingswe've run into in filling this job and othersis the fact that there aren't a lot of peoplewho are committed to moving to SouthwestFlorida ... they have pretty strong ties inother parts of the state and just aren'tinterested in moving.

IR: Has cost of living, such things ashousing, Jbeen a factor...Nungester: No, I don't think it has in the

case of this ppsition because the salaryrange will be' in the neighborhood of$20,000 or above, and most people can'make' it on that.

Eft: Do yon foresee someone hired tor" that position in the near future?

Nungester: Yes, I'd say within 30 days... we are at the point where we are downto about three people...

IR: Do you have some other majorunfilled vacancies on your staff? -

Nnngester: Yes, I think the Engineer•vacancy is a key position that we'd, like tofill, and I've, had more difficulty finding anengineer', that is a registered certified one.

IR: G^en J^ora vacancies^ *&*general burden of city business put quite aburden on you and the city staff? ' : v / - ;

Nungester: It lias, yes, but we've: alsolearned the Hard way that making A ahurried decision and making the wrongdecision, puts just as great a burden, if nota greater burden, on us ... so I'd ratherslide along for awhile and find the rightpersons, and I think the city should expectthat.

HI: With that heavy burden of work,how do you assess the morale in City Hall?

Nungester: It isn't good, 111 put it thatway. We all have our moments when weare tired and grouchy, and certainly that(the burden of work) is a contributingfactor. But I'm not convinced-that. if we hadmore people, we'd have less work load. Ithink well always be working to ourmaximum around here...

IR: What, progress do you see beingmade in getting more space for City Hall?

Nungester: It's moving along slowly butwell. The lease on additional land on whichwe can construct a shelter - for our equip-ment is now complete, and the specifica-tions are completed, so hopefully aft wehave to do is advertise and we can get thatunder construction, and .have it ready bythe spring of 1978.

Also' we have written to all the local'realtors;, and fold them that we haveadditional office space; requirements, andasked them if they are in a position to/submit to us a proposal --what they haveand when they'll have it. We have receivedone response and we are sort of holding upon a decision until we get another responsein from a person who called. •-. : .

I would imagine - that by the end ofDecember well know pretty much wherewe intend to go and have a recommenda-tion ready for Council. .':'••-.'••

IR: On a broader plane, what do youview as your priority tasks over the nextsix months to a year?

Nungester: I think one of the more"important things that we as an administra-tion can be doing is finalizing this capitalimprovements budget.

I say that because this gives us aworking document and it provides this

\%>

same broad information for^Council, theP l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n , a n d o t h e r c o m m i t -

In a sense, too, adoption of this five yearcapital improvements program will haveset some priorities and then we caneffectively work to accomplish those goals.

I feel today that we mill around a little,and really, don't come-down hard on anypriorities ... today an intersection may be a

/priority need, 'and . tomorrow it may bepurchase of additional property...

It's not, of course, an inflexible tool; eachyear it can be reviewed ... but it providesspecific goals.

IR: This capital improvements program--you anticipate having it finished soon?

Nungester: Yes, our goal is March 1. Ofcourse, on the financial aspects well haveto talk with the Finance Committee, andthe Planning Commission will want toconsider the program for some time, so togetjt_to Council by March, well have tohustle.

HI: What are some of the types of thingsthat would go in such a program?

Nungester: Mostly physical improve-ments, such as roads, and buildings, andbeach improvements ... those major capitalitems that wouldn't be in an operatingbudget ...

IR: Well, that's one priority item. Arethere others yon would mention?' Nnngester: Building a.competent, effec-tive and lasting organization is probably,the best thing I could do for a community— that is the selection of personnel thathave the skills, that understand our goals,and that can work as a cohesive unit toachieve those goals ...

HI: Has there been a lag in the process ofrefining the ecological zones in the land-useplan? / • •;•.•;• • . ' , . . • • v - - ; ; •''• • • - \ •

Nnngester: Yes, we've encountered oneproblem and that is the final definition ofthe Blind Pass area which, as is nosurprise, is the most difficult to define.

We have sought the assistance of themost knowledgeable person in Florida --Dr. William' Tanner from Florida State'University, and he has given us a brief

. description of what he feels exists in thatarea and suggests that we do some furtherwork there.

Except for that, the work is complete ...IBs Have the mfrareds been fkjwn?Nnngester: They've been ordered, but

I'm not sure they've been flown... They flythem depending on the weather andthey've been down here two times and thecloud coyer was such they didn't feel theycould get decent results. _ v - V ^ -'

Nungester: \ think it's too early to tell...IR: Supplying the if land with potable

water has become a hotly debated issue.What is your view on the city taking overthe Island Water Association franchise orcity purchase of the water fadhty?

Nungester: Well ... there are really twoanswers to this. First, I think for coordina-ting long-range goals, we should look atultimately acquiring both the water andwastewater treatment plants. And when Isay that, I hope people understand, Fm notquarreling with the current management ofthe operations. I'm sure they're successfuland do as good a job as we can.

I think the difficulty arises in trying tomesh these normal governmental opera-tions into one moving, dynamic force tomeet the island's needs. And I believe thatone agency could more effectively managethose forces than they can do going theirseparate ways.

IR: You view that as a long-term goal...Nungester: Yes, I don't see it as '

immediate. I can't jSee us acquiring IslandWater (Association or the wastewatertreatment plant tomorrow, but I do thinkthat eventually it should be done. c ;

IR: In the interim should the franchisebe transferred from the county to the city?

6A Children's Gift to the Islands'Students from the Sanibel Elementary

School will present an evening of Christ-mas songs Saturday, December 17 at 6:30at the Sanibel Community House.

HAVE CAMERAS READY

The program is called "A Children's Giftto the Islands," and it will feature five tosix acts of songs and.skits heralding the >Christmas season put on by all the classes

Personal visits by Santa ClausSanta's personal visits to children on

Sanibel and Captiva are scheduled for 5:30to 8:00 p.m. Friday, December 23.

To arrange for a visit, the Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club asks that presentsfor your children be taken to the SanibelFire Station on Palm Ridge Road betweennow and Thursday, December 22.;

Because Santa expects lots of deliveries,he asks that parents observe the following:

Presents should be wrapped and includetags with the child's name and if desired,any good deeds he or she has performed.

Gifts to one household should be placedin a brown paper bag and marked, in blacklettering* with, the name, address, anddirections to the house or condominium.

Large items, such as bicycles, shouldremain at your residence. Just leave amessage at' the fire house telling Santawhat the gift is, who it is for and where hecan find it before coming into the house.

One more reminder: if you want, torecord the happy event on fflm, please beready with your camera. Santa will be verybusy and cannot stay long.

at the school..Men Rhodes' kindergarten class will

perform the opening number, followed byLinda? Uhler's first and second graders,Hedwig Winans' second and third graders,Lenora Kiesel's third and fourth gradersand ending with Brenda CNeil's fifth andsixth graders.

The public is invited to the free program.Following the program everyone will

cross Periwinkle.Way to the 30-foot tallNorfolk Island pine—that serves as thecommunity Christmas tree. Sanibel policewill be tracking Santa Claus by radar andwalkie-talkie, and when his sleigh alightsat the Sanibel Fire Hall Santa will bebrought by fire truck .to the Christmastree.

The Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club hasprepared 200 bags of candy and fruit whichSanta will distribute to the children. Then,as the Christmas tree bursts into.multi-colored light, 25 Kiwanians will singChristmas carols. Santa has promised tocome rain or shine.

Caroling groupis organizing

Debbie Way and Robin Shuff are organ-izing a caroling group that wiD tour bothCaptiva and Sanibel on Christmas Eve. Thenucleus of the group now numbers, about20, but the girls hope that quite a few morepeople will join in.

By Susie Holly

H e city has two options available to stopthe rapid deterioration of its arerial roads,the city's consulting engineer, VernonLynch, told City Council and an audience ofarea builders Wednesday. One solution isto reinforce the roads with an asphalticconcrete overlay. The other, not popularwith the builders, is to restrict the weightof trucks travelling on the island. • :

Lynch, an engineer with the Fort Myersfirm of Howard, Needles, "Tammen, andBergendoff (HNTB), specifically recom-mended that Council adopt weight limitswhich are 75 per cent of Florida weight lawuntfl road improvements can be madeenabling Sanibel roads to support trucks at100 per cent of the Florida law. Theestimated cost of those improvements is$156,000.

Mariner Properties President RobertTaylor proposed another solution Wednes-day which would maintain Sanibel's exist-ing weight limits and implement an "excesshaulage fee" program.' Council membersagreed that Taylor's proposal warrantedfurther study. . "••if-

Sanibel's existing weight restrictionrange from 40,000 pounds for a two-axletruck to a maximum of 65,000 pounds. TheHNTB report recommends lowering thoseweights to 33,000 pounds for a double axlevehicle to a maximum of 57,000 pounds.Load limits under Florida weight laws

Construction traffic is the major cause ofroad damage, according to Lynch. Surveyresults from October'indicate that con-struction vehicles make up 68 percent ofthe average daily truck traffic on Sanibel..Passenger cars are no problem no matterhow many use the road, Lynch said.

Several concrete suppliers from FortMyers refuse to service Sanibel andCaptiva under Sanibel's current weightlimits. Those who do deliver to the islandsgenerally charge more to compensate forthe additional trips they must make toconform to the restrictions.

Builders say lowering the weights anyfurther would nearly preclude the deliveryof cement products to the islands. BillAsh will, president of Construction Mana-gers, Inc. of Fort Myers, said the weightlimits proposed by HNTB would allow acement mixer to carry only 3-4 yards ofconcrete on Sanibel, compared to 10 yardsunder Florida weight law.

Bill Frey, president of Sanibel Homes,pointed out that the more restrictiveweight limits would increase traffic, gas-

oline consumption* and noise, as well asincrease the cost of building a home. Healso pointed out that the quality ofconstruction would be jeopardized by theuse of poorer quality materials and thenecessity of adopting such practices aspouring concrete pilings in two sectionsrather than one, thus creating a built-inflaw.

The HNTB report calls for the strength-ening of Causeway Road, Palm RidgeRoad, Gulf Drive, and Casa Ybel Road withoverlays. Lynch said Donax should beconsidered "a failed street." He pointecToutthat the $91,000 cost of completely rebuild-ing Donax would cost less per year thanthe city is currently spending to maintainthe road.

Lynch also recommended widening andstrengthening Sanibel-Captiva Road, andstrenthening Tarpon Bay Road along withsome drainage improvements on that road.Sanibel-Captiva, Tarpon Bay, and RabbitRoad, however, are the only major roadson Sanibel which are currently not over-loaded, Lynch said.

"Completion of these improvements willresult in an estimated annual maintenance

savings, of $50,000 and allowance of fullloadings in accordance with the Floridaweight law.f the HNTB report states.

The problem'with-making the roadimprovements is /obtaining the fundingright away, Lynch noted in explaining thereason for imposing the interim weightrestrictions.

Mayor Butler said* Council has taken adefinite stand that growth should pay foritself. "I do not believe taxpayers shouldcontinue to pay, for the repair of the roads.But we have no legal means of imposing an'impact fee of'those doing the damage to theroads."

Taylor said he thought his proposalprovided a solution to the problem offunding road improvements with moneyfrom those doing the damage. "My planbasically says the people who are haulingthe loads will pay for ifc^

The existing weight limits are workablefor most construction vehicles exceptcement trucks, Taylor said in his proposal,and therefore, should be continued. Anexcess haulage fee could be implemented asan option for builders who need to haulloads of cement of concrete blocks whichweigh more than the established limits.

Taylor suggested a fee of $30 for each 10yards of cement of for each 900 concreteblocks which go over the limit. Heestimated that the fees would generate

The city is continuing its study1 of anextension connecting East, Middle fad-*-West Gulf Drives into one continuous road7.The, Sanibel River and'Wetlands Manage-ment committee met Tuesday to\discussalternative routes for the extension be-tween Middle and West Gulf Drives,

Plans for the extension were shelved inSeptember for further study after objec-tions were raised to the road going throughwetlands. If the road would cross wetlands,the city would need approval from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers before beginningconstruction.

At a meeting two weeks ago, thecommittee requested that city engineersHoward, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff(HNTB), prepare a cost estimate on a routewhich would avoid wetlands by runningnorth from Middle Gulf Drive, alongParview in the Beachview Country ClubEstates, and through to the bend in theeastern end of Casa Ybel Road. * -

Engineer Rocquin Van Guilder reportedthat the cost of that extension would beabout $300,000. Four proposed routesrunning through land designated in theland use plan as wetlands would range incost from $140,000 to $415,000. Thosealternatives all generally follow the sameroute west from Middle Gulf Drive, pastthe Old Cemetery to Southwinds Road andout to Casa Ybel.

act of road in wetlands- The route going down Parview, would jnot

necessarily achieve what the city" 'wants,Mayor Zee Butler:said. "It would relievethe-peoplerin the Beachview Country ClubEstates subdivision from having to useDonax if they want to get to PeriwinkleWay. But.it would Just be transferringcongestion from one point to another' onPeriwinkle," she said. "There is also aquestion in my mind about the damage thecity would do to that golf course area whichis designated'as open space in the land useplan."

Mayor Butler told committee membersshe was not sure the area was "truewetlands." She said the "so-called wetlandsin that area just grew up around themosquito ditch running through there."

Committee member Wayne Miller, direc-tor of the Lee County Mosquito ControlDistrict, pointed out that the water in thatarea does not flow because Casa Ybelblocks it off. "Building^ road~~woula notaffect the water flow," he said.

Former committee member GeorgeCampbell called the area an "isolatedwetlands, which is interesting for just thatreason. There are interesting creaturesthat live in there that don't live anywhereelse on the island," he said. "A road wouldhave a serious effect."

Dr. William Webb, retired professor ofwildlife ecology and management, and anominated committee member, also said aroad in the area would be "terribly unfor-

tunate." He-said water does flow in thearea and a new road would dam it up.

Mayor Butler said the road is not meantto be a major arterial road/but will bebasically a neighborhood road and anemergency evacuation route. "We would"make a different determination if we wereto put in a major road," she said.

The committee voted to recommend tothe city at, route generally following thenatural ridge west from Middle Gulf Driveto Southwinds, if City Council determines a

road needs to be built specifically in thatarea. L, „_

Committee chairman Malcolm Beattiesaid that in presenting the recommendationto City Manager Bill Nungester, he would"point out several reservations the commit-tee has about the road, including thewetlands question and the encouragementof development in that area, if a road is togo through ttiere. Beattie said-he wouldalso point out to the city manager that theParview alternative would not involvewetlands.

$158,000 per year and could be usedspecifically for improving the arterial roadsystem.

City Manager Bill Nungester said Tay-lor's proposal "has a great deal of merit."Councilman Duane White commented thatthe proposal "holds a lot of opportunity."City Attorney Neal Bowen said it appearedto be a legally viable alternative.

Council voted to continue the discussionof weights until the regular council meetingJanuary 3 so* they could more carefullystudy Taylor's idea.

The weight workshop on Wednesday wasan attempt by the city to involve areabuilders in a discussion which could severe-ly affect the construction industry. Theworkshop was a result of requests bybuilders to allow more broadly based inputin developing weight limits.

Winter residents and island natives oftenhave very different opinions about themerits of fastrfood: establishments comingto Sanibel. For example, this conversationwas overhead in the Periwinkle Placeparking lot this week:

Ohioan: "Where's the Sambo's?" Native:-"We DO NOT HAVE a Sambo's, sir!"Ohioan: "Then how am I supposed to getbreakfast around here?"

For those natives who cringe at thethought of national fast-food chains locatingon the islands, perhaps a news item fromLouisville, .Kentucky will bring somesolace.

Christmas week, 1957, heralded theopening of a new restaurant on Sanibel andthe beginning of a family project that iscelebrating its 20th anniversary thismonth. \ . - :

Both the Coconut Grove Restaurant andits owners, John Kontinos and family, havegrown considerably in 20 years, but thememories of those first years in businessare some of. the best. ;

Mrs. Mary Aleck; Kontinos1 sister,bought the property at the corner ofTarpon Bay Road and Periwinkle Waywhere the. restaurant sits, then broughtKontinos tO the island. "I had the propertyand. John had the brains," she said in arecent interview. . V

Kontinos built the restaurant,; namedafter its coconut palm tree setting, fromscratch and has had his hand in everyexpansion and remodeling job since."Every beam and board in here is hisdoing,]' Mrs. Kontinos said. "I even helpedpaint some of the beams."

% from 17-A . • •;, ?separated from a coffee counter by aplanter box. The family was the entirestaff, with the exception of Chef EddieAshford, who left the following March.Kontinos then donned the Chiefs hat andcontinued conjuring up "home cooking" tothe delight of islanders arid visitors.Because the Grove was open for threemeals a day, seven days a week, everyfamily member had to know all facets ofthe operation. Mrs. Aleck divided her timebetween the Grove and her other business,the Sanibel Beauty Salon next door. "Mykids were weaned between the two places"she said, "and when they needed feeding orchanging and I was busy, the customersdid it for me."

One of the best memories for Mrs. Aleckwas the Fourth of July, 1958. "We werevery, very busy with lots of customers anda waitress working for us got in such atizzy she quit and walked out the door. So Istarted waiting tables by myself. I kept

feeding people relish trays and crackerswhUe they waited for their; dinners. I: waspregnant and I guess the customers feltsorry for me having to do all that: workbecause I made over $40 dollars in tips thatn i g h t . " •' . / • ' • : ' , [ • ' • : ';• •• : ; \ V ^ ; ; . : ; . ; , ; • ; , ;

Most of the time" Mrs. Kontinos waitedtables and got to know a great many peoplethat way. "People still come in and tell methey remember when^I~leT~them in afterclosing and fed them sandwiches."

Other restaurants on the island -in the1950's were the Harbor House, the originalNutmeg House on Ferry Road and whatnow is Spptty's Pub. Schedules were loose

: for businesses in those days. A"really goodnight's business" at the Grove, the largestrestaurant on the island, was 30 customers.

be assigned to do a "preliminary investi-gation," probably sometime in January. If,after receiving the results of the investiga-tion, the,Commission determines that thereis "probable cause" of a violation, the casewill go to a full hearing, in which witnessescould be called to testify.

Although recent state legislation speci-fically excludes legal advertising fromconflict of interest cases, Gonzalez said that"on its face" the CPOOS complaint appear-ed to deal with an unspecified'period oftime before the new legislation becameeffective.

Thistle Lodge seems doomed• from 1-ACommittee has changed its opinion aboutThistle Lodge. Chairman Elinore Dormer,who previously said the house was one ofthe island's most important historical land-marks and should be saved, now says thereare many other places on the island ofgreater value. "We have to expect to lose afew. I can't see how it can be saved now.I'm resigned to that/'

Mrs. Dormer said the expense involvedin restoring the house would be too greatto warrant the city's involvement in therestoration. She added that the home does

not lend itself for use as a city museum assome have suggested.

An amendment to the land use plan,which-would add Thistle Lodge to the listof Sanibel's historical sites came before thePlanning Commission Monday, but wascontinued until the structure's fate isknown. "There is no reason to make it anhistorical site if it is going to be torndown," Chairman Ann Winterbotham said.

Taylor, told the Commission he thoughtthe whole issue had "gotten out of hand.My understanding is that it's not of anyinterest to anybody anymore."

It would seem, then, that Thistle Lodge'sdays are numbered.

Such errors are all the more striking in a newspaperthat has assigned such competent and dedicated writers• to Sputhwest Florida's environmental • concerns, butthey are insignificant compared with the misconceptionscontained in".-the remainder of the editorial.

To suggest that Sanibel "will have to'stretch a pipe toa wellfield in southeastern Lee County" is a conceptworthy of early and serious study> but let's not assume,as is implied, that this is as easy as hanging a clothesline in one's backyard. V

The possibility is even suggested that unless Sanibelmoves quickly "an entrepreneur with a long pipe and aswampy inland well-field may someday hold the futureof Sanibel firmly in his or her hand." •

That would be some entrepreneur, indeed. The costof such, a pipeliney a part of which would most likelyhave to go under water in Sari Carlos Bay, will be very

Any entrepreneur who has experienced the frustra-tions of securing a simple building permit would pale atthe thought of trying to get the necessary permits toconstruct such a private pipeline, even if the millions ofdollars in investment, without prospect of profit, werenot a factor/

We doubt that particular spectre poses much of a riskto Sanibel. • ; • • - ' - .

It is assumed that the main'thrust of the News Press-argument is contained in the paragraph that says"Sanibel officials would do well to explore thepossibility of linking their island community to aproposed new water plant in southern Lee County."

Although it's not clear what is meant by "Sanibelofficials," certainly exploration of such possible off-islarid sources of water should be and will be done. Butas anyone with the slightest comprehension of thewater situation in South Florida should know, "Sanibelofficials" will be able to play only on$ minor role in thecoming battle over potable wateVin this region.; It is not in the cards for one Vommunity to simplyplump down a pipeline and commence drawing waterfrom an aquifer or a wellfield that serves an entireregion. Even if it were possible it would be undesirable.

There is no question, in our judgment, that IslandWater Association should vigorously pursue the possi-bilities pf drawing water from ^whatever sources arefeasible. But for IWA, or any other public or franchisedutility, to do this without the sanction of a regionalbody, such as the South Florida Water ManagementDistrict, clearly would be impossible. After all, IWAcan't even drill a new well on Sanibel without Districtapproval. - ..

The ultimate course of action that should be taken, inour judgment, is the creation of a "regional waterauthority" that would include— at the least -- all of LeeCounty, and which would have the power to plan forand administer the utilization of water resources in thearea. Water is not a product tliat sliould be "discover-ed/' processed, and bartered as if it were the property

It is useful to have the News-Press focus attention onone of the most important problems in v SouthwestFloridav but it would now be helpful to see thei subjectappfbdched with a serious intent to find a solution aridwith the monkey; placed on the back of all the

I am taken with the poeticexpression that "taste is thefeminine of genius." Knowingthat I'd never qualify as agenius, I have taken some satis-faction in attempting to exercise,good taste.

In many respects that is at theheart of the job of being aneditor, perhaps particularly of acommunity newspaper.

epilogueThe task is complicated by the

extraordinary diversity in hu-man tastes. "What is food toone, is to others bitter poison."One wouldn't have it any otherway, of course, for otherwisethe world would have s( mono-tonous sameness that would beboring.

Each week a newspaper editorhas to preside over the some-times anguishing, always risky,business of separating newsthat's fit to print from that

which isn't, -distinguishing hu-mor from insult, sifting theinconsequential from the impor-tant.

One becomes more aware ofone's track record through thefailures and they can be painfulbecause they are irreversible.At that point the-only solace isthe fact that one's standards ofgood taste haven't been per-

manently compromised, thoughperhaps momentarily breached.

Let us heed the sage and sincere adviceof Vice-Mayor Bailey at the conclusionof the December 7 meeting. The time forrecriminations is, indeed,1 past.

To Island Reporter: As a member'of theSociety of Architectural Historians, one ofthe purposes of which is to work towardsthe preservation of worthy structures, Ishould like to make an 11th hour commentregarding the. historic Thistle Lodge on theCasa Ybel property.

I attended the Planning Commission'smeeting this a.m. at which it was decidedto table the petition that this building beadded to the inventory listing of Sanibel'shistoric buildings^ Following the meeting Irevisited Thistle Lodge to once againassess architectural interest and viabilityof the structure.

Thistle Lodge is patently not of suchnational interest that it deserves nomina-tion to The Federal Register of HistoricBuildings. It probably does not even meritlisting in a state inventory of historicbuildings. However, let us not deceiveourselves, it is definitely of interest andvalue to Sanibel Island. The Lodge isalmost certainly one of the early buildingscomprising the Casa Ybel Resort foundedon Sanibel shortly after the' turn of thecentury, according to historian ElinoreDormer.

Although its original, flanking towershave been truncated, bereft of its meander-ing appendages the building remains aninteresting and worthy example of ourearly island architecture. Although it is ina dilapidated condition and may appear tosome to be beyond redemption, I havewitnessed the miraculous restoration* ofeven older (Greek Revival) structures, in

The best thing that could happen toThistle Lodge is that Mariner Propertieswould see the merit of restoring this

interesting and historic building1 as anattractive centerpiece to their redevelop-ment of the Casa Ybel Resort. Surely thereis some purpose(s) that it could serve,',while handsomely tying the new resort toits roots. This might very well involve ashort move from its present site. Short of

To Island Reporter: Eupnea to you andmany thanks for your gems of Hellenisticpedigree!

I will never hear Cosell, that peripateticparadigm of prolixity, without thinking ofhis euphuism. "Euphorious," that non-existent word, is now an old friend and hasbecome part of the language, at least onSanibel. It was not a malapropism, for atthe risk of being thought uxorious, I admitto a certain euphoric sense when I hear mywife's name spoken (if pronouced correctlyof course).

Yes, I like words, but have been heard togroan or even talk back at some of theegregious amphigory that comes over theair.

How can we blame the kids for theirspeech when they are exposed to thedichotomy of good English at home and thegaucheries on television. A candidate forthe Vice-Presidency uses a nominativepronoun as the direct object of a transitiveverb. A certain highly-paid newswomanspeaks of bringing home "momentos" froma recent trip. But, who knows, they mighthave been items of some moment, orperhaps it was a lapsus linguae!

But critic beware! Remember Browning'sgrammarian:' "Calculus racked him, tussisattacked him" (or was it the other way'round?) Who wants to be a purist anyhow?They are beastly bores!!

One of the more intriguing habitats for;island flora is on the shell ridges of theislands in the cabbage palm understory. Anumber of the; West "Indian shrubs' foundthere are strikingly beautiful and are wellsuited to landscape use, ' - , : : ; • . ^ [;,:.

A -shrub of particular interest is'Chio-cocca alba of the madder family Bubiaceae.Chiococca translates loosely from theGreek to snowberry, which is the acceptedcommon name for the shrub. Alba is fromthe Latin aZfcus for white. . ; ,

The fruits of snowberry are truly white'and quite striking against its evergreenfoliage. Leaves are opposite on the spread-ing, diffusely branching stems and areusually a consistent deep shade of green.

Snowberry exhibits a variety of; form,depending:on habitat and growing condi-tions, In the? richer soils of interior ridges it •is knowj» to 'grow to about ten feet in a.mass of vining branches sometimes sup-ported' on another plant, while in *ne

starker habitat of the dryer exposed ridgesoils.it trails the ground in a bonsai versionof the specimens found growing undermore favorable conditions. .

In Long and Lakela's -'A Flora ofTropical, Florida," a second species ofChiococca is recognized; for this. area. It isC. pinetbrurn, meaning of the pine i flat-woods. Whether this species also grows onthe islands has not been determined by thiswriter but it could account for some of the ••morphological variations in snowberryspecimens seen. '

I feel we don't do enough forour unpaid, hard-working citycouncil members on Sanibelrso itsseems to me the least we can do.isgive them a Christmas present.

But what do you give to acouncilman for Christmas? I de-cided to go right to the source tofind out,

I had a little talk on the matter ~with the people who run theNorth Pole. First I tried MayorSanta Claus, but he told me thatI'd have to take the matter upwith his City Manager.

"I'm a weak Mayor, you know,"Santa said, "but my City Mana-ger is very strong."

I went to the City Manager^"What would you suggest as a

Christmas present for our citycouncilmen down on" Sanibel?" Iasked sweetly.

The CM. squirmed a little."That's really a policy ques-

tion," he said. I could tell hereally didn't want to get mixed upin the whole affair. He said itought to be considered first by acouple committees, the planningdepartment, and the PlanningCommission.

"Why is it so complicated?" Iasked.

"Lady," the CM. told me stern-ly. "North Pole is a unique placeand everything here is complicat-ed. That's why ,we have/*?(jUF.lfi- I was almost afraid to ask*"What's a GUP?" I said.

"Our Gift-Use Plan," the CM.

replied. "We found that this gift'business was getting out- of hand.A lot of greedy businessmen weretrying to make a lot of money outof it. So, we've adopted a Plan."

"Does that mean I can't giveour city councilmen a Christmasgift?" I wondered.

"That is something we'll haveto take up with the North PoleCity Attorney," he replied. "Ac-tually we are considering a tem-porary moratorium on Christ-mas."

That shook me up a little bit."You mean cancel Christmas?" I

exclaimed."Absolutely not," he answered

quickly. "We don't cancel things,we just postpone them indefinite-ly.

"Isn't that about the samething?" I asked.

"Oh, no," he replied. "One'slegal and the other isn't."

I told the CM. I sure didn'twant to do anything illegal andthat I wanted to do everythingright according to the GUP.

That seemed to calm him downa bit, so he said he'd help mework on the list of gifts for ourcity councilmen.

"But not," he said, "until I'vechecked with Mayor Claus. I runthe show around here; you know,but Mayor Claus likes to make thedecisions."

So,,dear readers, next week Iexpect to have the final, approvedlist of Christmas gifts for ourcouncilmen. It will all be verylegal. . ' .

rewarded with praise. If he•makes a mistake he is verballyreprimanded, but not in a harshway. A firm "No" is usually allthat is needed to get the messageacross.

That kind of control doesn'tcome easily. Dogs have to under-go about three months of simpleobedience training, both on andoff the leash, before they start"agitation training." Conrad re-,sponds instantly to dozens ofcommands from Rhodes. He canwalk across a room with Conradand issue a half dozen commands;"Come! Heel! Stancl! Sit! Lie!Stay!" all of which will be obeyedwithout hesitation.

Obedience is just the first stepin the long and continuous processof training a police dog. After twoyears Conrad still travels toNaples at least once a week fortraining sessions, and Rhodescontinually works with the dog topolish his performance.

Dubinsky trains dogs to attackon command by using an "agita-tor," a-"person1: who will incite the"dog by harrassirig it or hismaster. Positive reinforcement;gradually conditions the dog to dowhat it is ordered.

Conrad will attack in three'different situations: if someonetries to break into his home or thevehicle he is riding in; if Rhodesor his partner is attacked; or oncommand from Rhodes. He willnot attack on command fromanyone except his master, saysRhodes. "He will protect me fromattack from any kind of .weapon -shotguns to clubs."

It's easy to believe that a policedbg will attack at the drop of aone-word command because it hasbeen trained-to hate. Rhodes saysthe opposite is true./ 'I t 's just agame to the dog. He knows hewill get. praise for doing his job,so if he is ordered to attack hewill do it. He's eager to please..That's the whole thing. Just lookat the way he wags his tail.", Sure enough, when Rhodesenlists a -volunteer to stage amock attack,? ConraH! happilywags his tail while lunging at the'criminal/ .r':^i','^_r'. t '*\ •'_-

"We're^ trying.,, to change theimage of the police dog," explains

Rhodes; ^Police dogs used to bebad dogs %hat werje made worse."But, according to his master,Conrad is safer than the averagepet pooch.

The dog is Rhodes' constant;companion while he is in uniform.They tide in a four-wheel drivepolice Ford Bronco that has roomfor Conrad to 'pace -- which nedoes constantly. The only modifi-cation that had to be made to theBronco to accommodate Conradwas the: addition of a strip ofpadding on the tailgate to enablethe dog to leap in and out of the -vehicle.

The driver's side of the Broncois decorated with an emblembearing Conrad's name and sil-houette and the words "K-9 Cop."To the right of the emblem, twopainted bones pay tribute toConrad's triumphs on the side ofthe law. "Two, weeks ago, while'

Rhodes made an investigation,Conrad kept watch over a doctorsuspected of running over andkilling another man. And lastweek the dog sniffed out a womansuspected of stealing a car, whohad .fled from police and washiding in the underbrush -west ofCauseway Road. • r v

When he's not ferreting outcriminals Conrad trots alongahead of Rhodes-checking islandshops late at night. "He's helpfulat nightv" says Rhodes^ "If anyonewere hiding in the weeds Conradwould know it, before I would."

A To those who say Sanibel hasno: need for the services of apolice dog Rhodes points to thedog's involvement in the twoarrests, his ability to find a lostperson, and his special talent forsniffing out a hidden cache ofmarijuana. "He's got a nose," saysRhodes.: "• '."••' •' -•',

The Lee County Sheriffs De-partment has two police dogswhich have been used in burglaryinvestigations on Sanibel, butRhodes said by the time the dogsarrived • at the scene the burglar'sscent had faded.

Rhodes' love of dogs had asmuch to do with his getting' Conrad; as the need for a policedog on Sanibel. "It's really just ahobby for me. I got interested in

"the training aspect and I've learn-ed a lot, although there's a lotmore to learn;

"Owning the dog is a goodrelease. I feel a oneness with him.We communicate. He's probablythe best friend I'll ever have. Hewatches me and I Watch out for

Gavin is the son of Mr. andMrs. Ed Gavin of Rabbit Road on ; VSanibel. He is the third in hisfamily to win a college footballscholarship. Brother Larry playedat Wofford College in South Car-olina until suffering a knee injuryin his senior year, and Oscar wentto Allen College,in South Carolinaon a football scholarship.

Gavin signed the scholarshipagreement at this home on Satur-day, the first day colleges anduniversities were allowed to enlistrecruits for the 1978 season. FSUbackfield coach Nick Kish, whorecruits in the Southwest Floridaarea, brought the certificate forGavin to sign.

Gavin's signature ended nearlysix months of recruiting pressureon Gavin --pressure that began"as soon as I walked in thebuilding my senior year." NCAArules prohibit recruiting before astudent starts his senior year.

Coaches from Clemson Univer-sity, Miami University, the Uni-

• continued oh 10-BGavin chose FSU partly because itoffered the best opportunity formoving right into a varsity line-backer slot in his freshman year.

One Mile Before Sanibel Causeway

Ry Capt. Duke SellsCharter Skiff "Whee Three"

Tween Waters Marina, Captiva

Been a slow warming trend thisweek even though the wind didblow a little out of the northernclimes with a little gusto. _ ' *

The local seatrout have .beenthe very best treat for the anglerwith shrimp on the grass flats orwith the ever popular salty dogjigs. . .

Some little snapper bluefishhave moved into the surf alongthe outer reaches of North Cap-tiva Island on a rising tide. Therig here is a little one half ouncejig trolled at a quick pace and thecolor can be either yellow orwhite.

The mackerel fishing is verydisappointing now and the onlyway you can get a king is to run35 miles offshore where youmight pick up one or two, butthat is pretty expensive eating.

A few bonito are scatteredalong the Sanibel and Captivacoasts but again this takes a lot ofrunning to have a little fun.

In case you do have a tank ofgas, then a run along the stonecrab trap buoys might produce afew top. running tripletail whichare complete suckers for ashrimp;'. It will be a good ijdea here tokeep that engine^ running ais theseboys can spin around the buoyand cut you off faster than asheriffs posse. ' ; :_ _-;

Some real high tides in the p.m.

this week should bag you a dinnerof redfish if you stick around thebushes with gold spoons and bigshrimp under corks.

, Got to go now and make out myChristmas list for St. Nick, whichwilj undoubtedly include somelong handles for the coming coldwaye. Good fishing, / s / Capt.Sells"

Snook

Redfish

By Norms and Fritz Stoppdfain

Scattered reports from the pier, the Causeway andaround the mangroves in the creeks up the Sound tothe passes. Most of the action was in the canals. Ofcourse, most "of those were small or under legal sizeand had to be released; but they still provided lots ofsport. And? there was always the chance that youmight be one of the luckier ones to hook into one ofthe larger size, some going in the 14 pound range. Onthe weekend, one 13 year old sportsman, casting inhis home canal caught his first snook ever -- andRELEASED it. Before the weekend was over, he hadhooked six -- lost two and RELEASED four; Thefuture of sportfishing is brighter because of younganglers like this. Minimum legal length for snook is18 inches. Limit in possession - 4.

A few small ones were caught in the canals, but the £JI/(14JK UiMifTLmangrove areas, especially around Tarpon Bay,produced the larger ones this week. Some guideswere finding six and seven pounders for their parties.Most of the reds caught chose live shrimp for bait.Minimum legal length for redfish is 12 inches.

Sheepshead

Seatrout Plenty of the spotted variety caught on the flats inthe Sound and Refuge creeks. Some were quite largethis week — three pounds and over. Live shrimp wasthe bait" for these. The- small silver trout were sogreedy they were grabbing almost anything hung on

versity of Florida and FSU allpaid personal visits to Gavin. Healso talked with representativesfrom other schools who happenedto be in the area. The prospect ofbeing courted by big name coach-es before the school year is halfover does have its effect. "I wasin the middle of a test one day/'remembers Gavin, "when I stop-ped working and started thinkingabout scholarships and going tocollege. I had to slap myself andget back to work."

Although he gave each school aclose scrutiny, FSU has probablybeen the leading contender inGavin's mind from the beginning/for several reasons. The Gavinfamily hails from Tallahassee, it's

the first school he visited, and hefigures he has a pretty goodchance of playing varsity ball nextyear.

"I looked at how many peoplefrom each team will be returningnext year and how deep eachposition will be. Florida Stateoffered'.the best possibility formoving right into a linebackerspot in my freshman year. Out ofthe four linebackers this year onlyone will be returning."

Gavin didn't make the finaldecision on which school to acceptuntil a week ago Wednesday.

But there was another reasonhe chose FSU. "There's more toping to college than. playingootball. There's thai CPA degree

I want, • and FSU has the nestaccounting school in the state." '

ffc

Gavin will graduate from-Cy-press Lake with a 3.0 grade pointaverage. "I'm doing well in math,but I didn't want to major in mathin college. The dollar sign in CPAis what hit me."

Although his six foot heighth isbelow average for the pros, (iavinhasn't ruled out a football career."I think about it once in awhile. Icould have gone to a small schooland had some fun playing football,but FSU could get me pro recog-nition."

As a fullback in his senior yearat Cypress Lake Gavin gained 400yards rushing before he wasmoved to tight, end near theconclusion of the season. Lastyear he was named a/New^PressPret) AthleteI of, the Week andmade a member of the News-

Press All Conference-Team, anhonor he 'will probably receiveagain this year.

Now that the football seasonhas ended he is spending his timewrestling in the unlimited classfor the Panthers. Later on in theyear he will join the track team toshot put, and he has a tgoodchance of becoming the top shotputter in the state.

Still, the gridiron is Gavin'sterritory, and this summer he willget his first taste of big leagueball when summer practice beginsat FSU.

Will there be any hometownfolks watching when he takes thefield next fall wearing a Semin-ole's jersey? Grins Gavini "If myparents aren't there, I wonrt comeback!"

'There is nothing like Chadwick's in this part of Florida'• /rom 13-B

testimony to the skill with whichthe meal was put together.

When South Seas general man-ager Michael Peceri was compli-mented on the dinner, he saidthat "the credit really goes to thehard-working staff that made itall possible."

There was no doubt of that.The quality of the service wonadmiration from the guests, andcorporate chef Alex Stamm andhis staff received a; lengthy ova-i n for their productions. {.

Th Pro-Arte Ensemble, under

the direction of George Cripps,put on a beautiful performance,ending the evening by leading theaudience in traditional Christmascarols. Unfortunately, the- enjoy-able madrigal singing was some-times too subtly rendered and thesounds too muted to compete withthe inevitable noise in the largehall.

On a more robust plane, theaudience enjoyed dancing andtumbling under the direction ofJeanne Bochette, and admired thenimble steps and gay costumes of"Elizabethan Dancers" Dave andCoralee Rumbold and Joe andGeorgi Gault. A highly appreciat-

ed "Lorde of Misrule," a sort" ofcourt jester, was performed byFrank Jenkins. ifl

Chadwick's is not, of course, acontinuing round of opening nightfestivities and Madrigal dinners.The restaurant staff will now getdown to the business of turningout food on a daily basis forregular customers.

Those customers will be greet-ed with a gaily colored menu thathas the virtue of not being toopretentious, though providingplenty of choices from soups todesserts.

A part of the menu is made upof the award winning dishesproduced by a recipe search

sponsored hy South Seas Planta^tion. I haven't had the opportun-ity to try them all yet, but highinarks go to the' "Mariner's Mar-inade," a shrimp-vegetable com-bination that won a prize for W.Comlossy of Sanibel.

The "house specialties" includea Swiss Poulet, a foyer, coatedwith a mustard sauce and deepfried. At the open house it washighly praised. Along with sever-al other dishes, the specialties listalso includes roast duckling, aspecial goulash, and a promisingveal dish.

These offerings average around$8:00, including the house salad,potato> and Vegetable;': ^ '.'

When our^hUdren were smallthey were adventurous in everything but their eating habits..Anything new was looked on withsuspicion. So it was with theannual Christmas fruitcake. Bythe time they had removed theunfamiliar citron, nutmeats, can-died fruits etc., the slice wasreduced to dark brown crumbs. Ifwe had had this fine recipe for agumdrop cake, they would havebeen saved all that effort.

Sanibel Island

You wouldn't buy a condominium on Sanibel just for the living space inside.Would you? No, of course hot, because the best part of Sahibei living is therecreational advantages of one of the world's most beautiful islands. And youwouldn't spend the money it takes to own a Sanibel condominium withoutexpecting the apartments themselves to be extraordinary, either. Wellvmoreoften than not, you have to give up one for the other. But not at SanibelSurfside. V • . ; ' . ' ''.•: . / • ; • , . . ' • '.' ' ' : ' • > • • ' . '•. .'.•= " ' • ^ • ^ • ^ r / i u - ^ y ' ' •^,:^.- ••

You see, when we built our low, low density cluster 6f only 3& residences,we made sure that we left plenty, of room for green space^ and recreationalamenities while providing each apartment with a view of Sanibel's mainattraction, the Gulf of Mexico.

On the inside of Surfside, our 3 different 2 bedroom floor plans maximizeevery square foot of floor space from their private entry foyers to their widescreened-ih porches just beyond a big sliding glass wall that brings the outsideinside. After all, isn't that what an apartment on Sanibel is all about?

Sometimes when you're wading in thebay looking for that prize sanddollar orhuge sheU of a <fead lightning or Lefthand-ed Whelk, (on Sanibel, collecting; livingshells w fiw^^looldng for the bay's hidden secrets -- itscrabs, shells, sponges, plant hfe, etc. --take a look at the ooze squoosbing uparound your sneakers.^ '.

Take along a little piece of glass or clearplastic and smear some of the mud on it. Ifthe smear is applied thin enough and youhold it up to the sky, you'll notice (if you'rein a healthy estuary) that the mud is alivewith tiny marine creatures.

The same applies to detritus, the decay-ing mangrove leaves and vegetation foundin pockets in the bay's mud or trappedamong the shoal, manatee and turtlegrasses; Minute cepods, tiny marineworms; Crustacea, seedling dams andsnails and other mollusks, - and larvae ofmany other invertebrates are all busybreaking down this plant matter.

It is often said that the beach is a desertcompared to the bay. When skin divingwhile the water is calm and fairly clearyou'll often get that impression. Most,beach fish are built more for speed than thebay fish and keep just' out of sight, andexcept for a Lettered Olive or Sanddollaror a few other crawling creatures, thebeach seems rather barren.

Some high energy'beaches are lacking inlife because of boulders which roll back andforth as each breaker thunders into theshore, making it almost impossible for lifeto exist. On the other hand, there arebeaches where the sand is so fine that only

JVb junonias, but Sunday's extra low tide produced plenty to keep novice beachcomber? happy.

There's an old saying about the Sandman'sschedule on Sanibel and Captiva that goes',something like this: "The shellers go to bed ateight and the hellers at nine." There is one thing,though, that will keep those shellers up late at'night or have them awake before the morningpaper is delivered: a good, strong, Idy-bare-the-shells low tide. V

Such was the situation early Sunday morning. Astrong Nor'easter on Saturday teamed up with anew moon that night to shove the sea almost afootfarther from land than normal at dawn on Sunday.

And:, like a swarm, of lightning bugs on a warmsummer evenvngi the flashlight-toting shellerswere there, combing the soggy flats for thosespecial calcium jewels of the: cfee#. >

'Surprisingly, the • extreme low tide failed toproduce much in the way of unusual shell finds. "Ifsomething fabulous came in I would have;heard,"reports Anrie Joffe, president of the Sanibel-Cap-tivaShell Club. "And1didn't,"

Still, there wqs plenty for the less discriminatingbeachcomber to see. Amorphous sea slugs, JeUo-like blobs of sluggish demeanor, were tossed to;:shor? by the thousands. :

Helmeted horseshoe crabs stranded in thestanding water gave the beach the appearance of:.the morning after an amphibious assault. T%curted arms of dead starfish cr^ie^:^ih.'4fy^beckoned to passers-by,"'''an^':':'baHere"d'/crabs |motionless in the desert-like ripples oftsand. '•

The exposed flats also returned some, of Man f$:own gifts to, the sea: barnacle-encrusted beer cans;smooth skinned strips of wood, and an occasionalmucky rubber thong. . , /

The underwater world remains a completemystery to most of us upland creatures. But eachtime the laws of physics conspire to roll back thewaves a bit, a few of those secrets happily arerevealed.

Occasionally the desert monotony isbroken lay a flock xrf sheep or an Indian

-hogan or (for the more affluent Indians)mobile home. Every .modern-day AmericanIndian drives a pickup truck. It's as much astatus symbol as arfast horse was for hisgrandfather.

; We've achieved one of this trip's goals:the rest rooms no longer say "Buoys" and

< Gulls." Not sure it's an improvement, butin the Southwest they're labelled "Braves"a n c | " S q u a w s . " .-; -••• • : . / • • ^ : - S . { . • y '..'-"• .'•• ..

The authors of advertising . signs inPhoenix are afflicted with a serious case of"the cutes." Restaurants vie with eachother in offering "Suds and Sustenance" or"Beer and Booze" ... the airport is called"Sky Harbor" ... a used' car lot promises"Only Two Shy Salesmen on Duty" ... anda roadsign smirks, "Smile; you're onradar." *

It takes wholesome-looking Phoenix toout-bawd the claims of wicked Seattle.Here a motel advertises "adult movies" andwater beds and forthrightly calls itself"The Erotic Motel."

This is certainly a fabulous country.Ever time*" we think we've seen the mostbeautiful thing there to see, we come

' across something still, more spectacular..And there's no chance to get tired of theclimate. If you don't tike today's, just wait

1 until tomorrow. We were in Flagstaff,Arizona on a day when it was the hottest

\ spot in the country (104 .degrees) and a few'; days later, in Bryce Canyon, the coldest: spot in the country (29 degrees). • '-? -' Ypur favorite TV weatherman frequently.

mentions Gila Bend, Arizona, as thehottest place in the USA. So it's notsurprising that public buildings here don'tmerely claim to be air conditioned „. theoperative word is "refrigerated." Or some-times the two are combined, as in "refrig-erated air conditioning.". : •'--.

At the bottom of any canyon, the daysare, naturally, a lo£ shorter. In Yosemite,for instance, the.sad'slipped over the rimabout 4:00 \p.m. and dusk fell rapidly.We're told that Y^m^'s^SBmrise Selr-•ywe" on Easter i ^ 4 ^ ^that's when the sunlight finally gets there.

• • • •

We' set off on this trip with neighbors'instructions well understood: Find ussomeplace where we can move whenSanibel sinks into the Gulf from the weightof condominiums. " ; -

Do you dream of Sun City? Well, afterSanibel's humidity, the dry, dry air ofArizona is a rude shock. You'd have to getused to' chapped hands in mid-summer.And wpuld^ you; really like to trade yournight-blooming; jasmine and double hibiscusbushes for a garden full of cactus? That'sabout all that grows there.

For the most ideal weather conditions,we'd vote for the area around Santa Fe,New Mexico.: Homes do not have airconditioning because, we were told; airconditioning is never needed. But nomatter how. perfect the weather or howinteresting the "cultural life," we were alittle put off by the monotony of thearchitecture. Everything that isn't authen-tic adobe is fake adobe. And it may not beby choice, for some munidpal ordinancesseem to require it. In Taos, eyen MacDon-aldsand Colonel Sanders'/establishmentstake the shape of adobe huts. After awhilethat dull pink-brown tone can get to be adrag. The brightest spot (literally) in SantaFe was Greer Garson's flaming red hair, asshe stood on a street corner waiting for alight to change.

We heard a beautiful reference - toSanibel from an elderly lady in a Santa Fechurch. Seeing our hometown written inthe Visitors' Book, she told us after theservice, "One-of my dear friends visitedSanibel recently and do you know'what shetold me when she came back? She said,'Don't ever go to Sanibel. If you see it,you'll feel as though-you've wasted halfyour life.'"

October 1977We've T»een dutiful tourists* obediently

stopping at almost every "Historic Mark-er." About* SO percent of these markers --no matter what the state -- refer- to alandmark in the travels of Father Escal-ante, the indefatigable missionary explorerof the 1700s. ., ., • . „ ,

We felt rather sorry for one pitiful Texascounty which obviously had trouble think-ing of anything significant to put on itshistorical marker. The best they couldcome up with was the news that on this

.; site occurred the first Masonic funeralever held in the state of Texas.

Each state tries to outdo its neighbors ini the "Rest Area" competition. The architec-ture of the "necessary" building is usuallyinspired by some phase of the local culture

|— teepee shapes in Indian states, imitationi adobe huts in the Southwest, etc. Display- boards offer information about local flora ;>"and fauna, tell you how far it is to the nextRest Area, and advise you not to pester

r the rattlesnakes. - - , ' ' •.. /I But the folks in Texas aren't ones to"throw money away on many such fancy.' accommodations -for tourists. Several rest'.stops in the Lone Star State offered

pleasant enough picnic tables, but no"facilities." Instead, they had thoughtfullyconstructed stiles over the nearest ranchfence so that without too much inconven-ience you could make use of the nearestclump of trees.

Texas is the land of oil wells, tumble-weeds and absolutely no speed limit- signs.

•It's the only state that obviously has nointention of cooperating with the federalgovernment's 55 m.p.h. nonsense.

Texans sure do take the Alamo serious-ly. A sign at the entrance says, "Gentle-men must remove their hats."

$• Galveston impressed us as being the; most law-abiding city in the country, with

motorists and pedestrians alike obeying theletter of .the laws.

On Galveston Island, municipal lawforbids carrying of bottles or drinking

.glasses on streets or beaches. A most. sensible idea.

The most inconsiderate drivers in" the. USA— Louisiana! With Baton Rouge the.- undisputed jackasinine-driver capital of the^ state._. And with that sweeping generalization

I'm reminded that every one of us, whenbehind the wheel, is an ambassador of ourhome state. That license plate or Sanibel'

. bumper sticker is a dead giveaway. Anytime we drive in a' stupid or impolitemanner, we re., inviting a reaction tike the

- one expressed above; The driver justbehind is probably saying, "These Florida(or Sanibel) drivers sure are maniacs!"

Evangeline, Louisiana., and Reading forthe barn ... welcome back to' the land oflive oak, Spanish moss and post-nasal drip.

* * , - - " • • • , 'r We've traveled through about 18,000... miles of drougbjt-strkken. country. And

we've had 13,000 miles of motels with leakyfaucets and "running" Johns. Plumbers ofthe world unite! End the water shortage!

Driving into Fort Myers it comes as ashock to be greeted with signs proclaimingWELCOME BACK SNOWBIRDS. Some-how that doesn't exactly warm the ol<Jcockles. Strikes me that a sign sayingmerely WELCOME BACK would accomp-lish the purpose and would certainly go alot further toward building goodwill for thesign's' sponsor.

SUMMING UP: ' ;

We drove 16,600 miles and averaged 20.5miles per gallon.

Gasoline ranged in price from 58.9 centsper gallon in Walsenburg, Colorado, to 80.9cents hear Cortez, Colorado. (How the heckcan the two extremes in price occur withinthe same state?)

Least expensive accommodations of thetrip: $11 in Williams, Arizona. Mostexpensive: .Canyon Village, YellowstonePark at $31.

Best lunch of the trip: fresh Dungenesscrabs right off the boat, on the Oregoncoast. •

Best doughnuts in the country: Twenty-nine Palms, California.

Best gourmet dinner of the trip: Sween-ey's Grubstake in Durango, Colorado. (Notonly was. the food superbly, prepared, butthe service was unlike anything seenanywhere. Ever! College-age kids whowere eager to please and quick on theirfeet,... they ran, not sauntered, to thekitchen with your order. Add while ydaate, they watched continuously in order toanticipate your next desire.) ;:

Travel is indeed broadening. But I intendto exercise it off as. soon as I get'unpacked:

Are, we tired of traveting? Not We'dhappily take off again tomorrow to visit aUthose places we didn't have time for alongthe way. / '

Are we tired of motel living? "Quite theopposite. It's depressing to realize thatthere will no longer be clean sheets every

- -night, and a maid who's paid to remove thebathtub ring. .. • • . : :| y

But there's no denying that the viewfrom the Sanibel Causeway is one of thefinest we've seen all summer. And nowhereon any of this country's coasts are therebeaches whose beauty can match that ofour own home islands.

How lucky can we be? 16,600 miles «idnot only have we not had an acddent*~butwe haven't even SEEN an accident. Nitry^idented fender. Praise God from wbom lillblessings flow!

The Carter/Schlesinger energy plan,ahhough weU intended, was conceived in avacuum. Essential contributionsJrom-tech-nology, industry , r business and environ-ment are absent. The plan appears to beprimarily politically motivated.

The sobering reality remains, we areusing energy at a rate that is difficult tojsupply: in 'the: future; certainly not attoday's energy prices.

The fact remains, prices will go up.Economically justified or not, by 1984gasoline may cost 32 cents per/liter whichis equivalent to $1.22 per gallon. Electri-city may be 11 cents per kilowatt hour, upby a factor of 3..! • . .. : -

Meinelsquare mile fcould supply power for a cityof about 60,000.

Coal•:• Industry is quietly purchasing consider-able land areas for mining of coal. Today,

-oil and gas companies own about 20 percentof the 250 billion tons, of coal consideredeconomically recoverable in this country.In 1976; twelve oil and .gas companiesproduced 135 million tons of coal. By 1985,coal production is expected to be in excessof 300 million tons.

Coar mined by oil companies is used forpower generation. Gas companies are-moreinterested in the gasification of coal tosupplement their nature gas resources. Interms of energy, a ton of-coal is equivalentto about four barrels of oil.\ :

It is now generally believed that coal willbe the energy bridge from the present tothe future. To malte Hhis happen, coalproduction will have to be doubled in therioxt 10 vears. \ -

Solar Power PlantsThe.sun's energy"received on earth can

In addition to several experimental solarpower plants in operation, three commer-cial installations are planned for 1980. A 10megawatt plant at Barstow., California, a3.5 megawatt unit for Marseilles in Francesand a small, 2 megawatt solar power plantat Shikoku, a Japanese island.

These largeLunits are ^expected ' t «generate electricity in the 6 to 8 cents perkilowatt hour range. This compares to 4 to6 cents per kilowatt hour range for the newgeneration of conventional power plantsdesigned for capacities of 1000 megawatts.A megawatt is equal to 1 million watts.

Solar CeDsToday's silicon solar cells developed by

Mobil Tyco generate approximately 1 watt;_of electricity from 10 square inches of

silicon crystal area exposed to the sun-atright angles.

Sunlight concentrated by a mirror andreflected onto gallium/arsenide cells devel-oped by Varian Associates can produce asmuch as 10 watts: of electricity ifrom a diskhaving a diameter of about 1/3 inch. '

At the current, state of ..technology,electricity .produced from photo voltaic,solar cells would cost about $20,000 perkilowatt: New developments, however,indicate power costs as low as $350 perKW. In comparison, conventional, fuel

SUN RAYS

burning power stations generate electricityfor about $500 per KW. .

Solar CollectorsWith the Meinel collector, sunshine

collected by ridged lenses is focusedthrough a slot • into a glass pipe. Themirrored inside surface of the glass pipereflects the heat onto an . inner sleel pipe _coated with a highly absorbant material.

Nitrogen reaching temperatures up to1000 degrees F. is circulated through thepipe and flows to tanks of molten saltcapable qf storing heat. Steam producedwith the hot salt is used tb drive turbinesfor power'generation.

Meinel estimates that a square mile ofsolar farm could supply power for a city ofabout 60,000. At this stage of technology.power costs are uncertain, but targetswere set to less than 10 cents per kilowatt

Domestic water and pool.heating

About 350 square, feet of solar heatpanels facing south at a .specific angle arerequired to heat a 15 x 30 foot pool byabout 10 to 15 degrees F. The cost of solarpool heating in southern Florida is approx-imately $2000, which represents 1/3 of thecost for a 15 x 30 foot pool.

Although initially quite expensive, solarpool heating is a sound, long term invest- ,,ment provided the plastic solar panels areguaranteed for long term performance..._

Approximately 50 square feet of a solarheat sink-containing copper tubing arerequired to supply 50 percent of the heatrequired, to produce hot water for a familyof four. The cost for a solar hot water^unitis about $1200. At this stage of develop-ment, domestic solar hot water heatingrepresents only a fair long term investment;

in contrast to pool heating.

Wind Energy VLarge windmills constructed in quanti-

ties of up toward a hundred units canproduce electricity at a cost about equal tothat of today's conventional power.
