Gavins in new home FridayMr. and Mrs, Edmund Gevin happily accept

the keys end papers to their new home on RabbitRood from Ken Merek of the Atlanta regional of-fice of the U.S. Fish and WUdilfe Service.

The Gavins, who had lived for the past 25years in their former home on whet is now Sanc-tuary property, said they Soved their new home.

"It will make the children's morning schoolschedule s little different,*' said Mrs. Govin, "and1 know my husband will miss being able to get inhis canoe to take o message or fws — end catcha fish or two in Tarpon Bay on his way, fan* itsurely is a beautiful house."

The Gavins, parents of 20 children, stillhave seven at home, so the five bedrooms in thenew house will come in handy.

"I don't trke to sft in th» house muchanywhere," eorotnent&d Mr, Gavin, "so I'm goingto hov« ts plant a fast growing shads free ©rtwo. Outside of that, it is a pretty fins house."

Council readies budget for last night's hearingby Carol Quiliinan

Wednesday. "Thursday and Friday af-ternoons, from 4 until, the council met inspecial session to review the budget. We didno! attend she Wednesday meeting bu* itwas aaso-meed at the outset of Thursday'smeeting that so decisions were made theday before.. .

The mayor announced that there were«m? persons requesting to be beard before

Board of Equalization who were lookingrevision or relief from ifaeir taxes due

-•. 'ieing able to use their land daring aa^ ^rium. Because of this, HarrySetseofcy. Lee County tax assessor, advisedthe mayor lisa! $8,000 should not be includedinto ibe revenues expected from ao valoremtaxes.

So right oft* the bat, $8,006 was whacked offthe income side of the budget- AnotherSI6.00D was eOsiiaaSed from She oc-eupatienal licence fee revenues but somewas added from expected interest ass fromfines and iorleMiires. The total bottom linerevenue figure under discussion at Thur-sday's meeting was $484,768 at 3.898 assBs.

Jao Rahsea announced that the LeeCounty EiecJric Cooperative expected, togaia a rate increase of 7 per seat ami thatthe Co-op said Vast they do not pay a &as-efaise fee to Lee County since they are a non-profit organization. However, if Sanibellevied a franchise fee to sell electricity OHSasibel, the fees could be passed os ia in-creased electric biHs,

Ga the same subject, Bretzke said that tfae

city paid a 5362-00 electric bill for the monthof July. but toped that during the winter thebills would be lower.

The badge! discussion began with all theadditions that had been suggested andsubtracted $8,060. --Schooiey's deficit', theCOUECS had added JUS.OGu: $&X0€*) for roadsand parkways. Si5,tt» additional legal fees,s26.K» csniingeucy. Sio.Ote; building andzoning. SH«.M&& police. S8.S€fi special projectand SS.CSJO for engiaeeriBg.

AM that aiseacted la a quick calculation of4.3 mills. The snayor asked w hether 4. Z mills•f. as or »~ES cot an aceep*afale miilsge figure.He said tbai fie lisougiu it was tos high sndthe councB OLfgfe! to make cats rather thanadditions. Francis Bailey figured that thedifferesce beSweeE 3.8 and 4.3 on a S3O.G0Ofeome %muld oaly be SSiiM and that $20.06wasn't too much of an addition. CharlesLeBaff said that fee was willing to go 4 orover 4 mills. Zee Butler said that she wasvitally eoEeeraea with goicg over the 3.8 aswas fs-esented to life puMIc last week.

Robsoa said. "You eas't esti up vilb drylacks: it woa'j 0y."

Bailey said that She public would un-derstand a hi^tor faadgei with the memeyspecified tor certain filings like legal feesrather ifaan going into a contingency fund.He said that fee public is goisg to look at thebudget and say 'Those people dos't knowwhat Ifaey Ye doing." I wast a tight budget."

Ouaae White was waiting to talk about theplanning budget and was asked to speakafter ail the couacilmen had expressed theirviews.

White said that the council was "strainingat a gnat and swallowing a camel. 1 don'tbelieve for one minute the people whosupported Sansbel Tomorrow, who went tothe polls to vote for the city would object to a5 to 5.5 mill budget. You are hamstringingthe city by-not budgeting correctly."

He said that She L'SGS study was vital tothe future of Sanibel and would becomemore important as the years went by. Hesaid that WMRT was crying lor a contourmap of the island which would cost S7.000 toSHUiWs "which may sound like a lot now tautwhich would earn its keep being used todefend the city's position in court later on."

"You have to appraise and value thesethings that are vita! to Sanibel." He askedfor a planning budget between S80.000 andSHJO.OCK). cautioning that WMRT was onlygoing lo present a skeleton outline and basiclegal documents. From then on "we'relooking at '•'• to 5 years of hard work andcontinuing struggle."

The mayor asked si the job couldn't bedone on S50,«W. White said "no." It wasnecessary to justify to the people 5 to 5.5mills since the public had mandated amaster plan, and were willing to pay for it.

The council then got going on budget cuts.They cut out all pensions except for Bretzkeand Mildred Howze. $20,000; cut out all newpersonnel is aU departments, $25,000: cutoat merit raises. $8,000. which amounted to$53,000.

Then, going back over the budget to see ifanything had been overlooked, theydiscussed a 81,000 travel allowance which

had been set aside for the council to attendthe Florida League of Cities meeting.Bretzke convinced them that they should allattend and to leave the money alone.

The mayor said that he wanted to doublethe council's salary and that the pressshould lake note. The Si .00 a year salary foreach council had been omitted from thebudget so double of nothing was nothing.

The SK.fXm was subtracted from thejki2,fjsi leaving a S49XW overage from thebottom line figure of the budget. Thisresulted in & 4.4 mill ad valorum tax.

Bailey said that they ought to stick to theland use plan and perhaps cut the policeforce budget. "I don't feel the sheriff wasinadequate as some of you. We're in this= incorporation •• for planning."

Goss said. "Let the record show that I'dlike to throw in bike paths."

The council added up all the outgoingmoney concerned with planning, includingall of the legal fees, and came up with a totalof over S2W3.OTX) which everyone agreed wasor should be quite sufficient to take care ofthe planning needs for the coming year.

They were feeling pretty good about thatso they gave Bretzke S5.0TO for salaryraises as he deemed necessary which putthe S53.0O0 down to $48,0<X). That left thebudget with a $54,000 overage. Theydetermined that the miUage would then besomewhere between 4.4 and 4.5 mills.

The meeting was running overtime. Thecouncil charged Bretzke with somehow

Around town

by georgie mankin

Visitors to the Islands this week have beentreated to some mighty spectacular sun-sets ! It seems as though the rains "wash theskies" and at sunset the colors are simplybeautiful and clear.

Bailey's Pier was the scene of some ac-tivity this past week—it seems as thoughsomeone had hooked a fish line around aBrown Pelican's leg—the poor thing justcouldn't get off the ground because of it.

All the efforts of the fishermen were to noavail—just couldn't catch up with him tofree the line. Luckily for Mr. Pelican, sometourists from New York had a radio in then-car and called the Sanibel police for aid.

The police came and (I've been told thepatrolman was Ray Rhodes) merelystepped on the end of the line—freed thepelican—and then he took off.

The pelican frequently gets tangled up infish line at the pier and at Blind Pass bridge,so it would help this threatened species ifmore people know what to do in a situationsuch as this.

Just step on the end of the line and the birdwill usually be able to free himself and takeoff. Please don't attempt to jerk on the lineor pull or tug it in any way—it could harmthe pelican. Naturally, if you hook a bird thetreatment would necessarily be quite dif-ferent.

After a number of years of just visiting,Mr. and Mrs. William Carpenter anddaughter Claudia have taken up permanent

jdence on the Island,iiey bring with them a venture unique to

the area—"Odyssey—the World inMiniture"—and will shortly open a shop andmuseum at 1473 Periwinkle Way. Themuseum will display a wealth of xninisealeditems including rare salesmen's samples,old doB houses furnished in period, antiquetoys, and dolls many of which date well intothe 1800's. The shop will offer a wealth ofantique miniatures together with the workof fine contemporary craftsmen.

A number of the museum items will befeatured in a forth coming book, "It's aSmall World" fay Rosemary Bisaey. ?Yesshe is the late Wall Disney's daughters.

Mr. and Mrs. James BrtVitt of In-diaaapolis. Indiana, have been enjoyingsailing off the coast of the Islands.

fishing hasn't been so good for them. Comeon, guys, other folks tell me it's great—is ityou or the fish? •

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Isaacs of Lexington,Kentucky, have been visiting Sanibel along

with their son Rieky, and daughter, Carol.

The causeway bridge was struck in anopen position for 45 minutes last Wednesdayafternoon. It was really a warm wait forthose folks sitting in their cars on both sidesof the bridge—the temperature at 4 p.m.that day in the area was 93 degrees. It'sworth the wait to visit Sanibel and Captiva,folks—really!

The Goodwill and Salvation Army boxes inthe Bailey parking lot were broken into lastweek. Clothing and shoes were scattered allover the lot and both boxes were damaged.

If someone really needs clothes thatbadly—just ask for help—people on theislands are more than willing to help those inneed. Sanibel has many church groups whoenjoy aiding needy people.

The Colony's out of state guests this weekinclude Mr. and Mrs. Donald J. Guiney ofKettering, Ohio; Mrs. and Mrs. JuneJohansson and family of Markham, On-tario; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cunningham ofFairborn, Ohio and their family; Mr. CecilHolladay and family from Murfreesboro,Tenn.; Mrs. J.

NEWSNOTESWell, here we are with our first Tuesday

ISLANDER. To steal a line from a songsomeone was humming rather loudly theother night, we hope "Tuesday!! be yourgood news day" as well as ours. We figuredout that it will give us the chance to do moredaytime coverage of the Islands, whichshould allow us to not only give you the newsin depth, but also enable us to present youwith more features and picture stories.(There's only so much you can do with aflash which limits you to 15 feet.) But that'sall technical.

The deadlines remain about the same,with the exception that regular club newsand notices should be turned into our officeon Palm Ridge Road on Thursday, anddefinitely no later than Friday, or they won'tmake Tuesday's paper.

The Sanibel Library is closing for themonth of September, so we thought we'dremind you that any books due back inSeptember will not be charged for if they'rereturned as soon as the library re-opens inOctober.

A semi-professional sociologist Mend ofours is now absolutely convinced that we'redue for a hurricane this year, no matterwhat the horse shoe crabs are doing. She'sworking on the theory that humansfrequently react unconscious feelings ofupcoming danger and will scurry aroundbuilding barricades to protect themselves.At least, that's her explanation for why allthose rocks are being piled higher andhigher along the causeway.

, This being a short week (in essence,because we're putting out two papers in oneweek) we're sorta short on police calls andsuch. However, in leafing through the policelog, we noticed with pleasure that anunusual amount of wallets and purses arebeing turned in complete with all the cashand credit cards they had when originallylost which proves that we do have a lot ofhonest people around.

However, once again, PLEASE don'tleave anything of value (or anything whicheven looks valuable) in your car, locked orunlocked. Three girls' vacations werealmost ruined when their purses were stolenfrom their locked car whilst they werebeaching. If you MUST leave valuables inyour car, at least put them in the trunk,where they're not visible. They can still bestolen from a locked trunk, but if the rest ofthe car looks empty, the chances of thievesopening your car trunk are a lot less.

Aries; Things will work out best whenmore than one mind is involved. A trip to alocal attraction or exhibit, or just drivingaround is favored. Privileges granted fromanother should be handled with care.

Taurus; You could be attracted by un-usual forms of entertainment or self ex-pression now. Don't take love seriously, andavoid dubious substances or liquids. Advicecould be unreliable.

Gemini; Don't rock the boat where youremployment is concerned. Take it easy withhealth and exercise programs. You maywant to review your plans for the future,possibly change your mind about somethingor somebody.

Cancer; An unusual development orencounter could alleviate a financial orcareer difficulty. Watch a tendency towardcompulsive buying or risk taking.

Leo; Welcome a new arrival to yourvicinity; and there will be an interestingpiece of gossip to discuss. You may have tomake more short journeys than usual. If youare studying, don't put it off.

Virgo; A side line you've been interestedin can provide additional funds. Otherpeople will tend to follow your lead, although

not obviously so. Be suspicious of financialschemes, especially any partnerships.

Libra -, An expansive program is likely torun into roadblocks, but keep trying. Don'tbe overoptimistic. Someone isolated needscheer. You are likely to form a false im-pression of someone or something now.

Scorpio; Do whatever is needed to keepthings going. Show that you are emotionallymature by remaining posed especially whendemands require an all-out effort. Be willingto ditch whatever is obsolete.

Sagittarius; Aspects are not favorablenow for travel or eorrespondance. Projectsdesigned to improve business income needfurther advice. A family member will comethrough.

Capricorn; This is a poor time forjudgments or decisions, and you should usecare in handling merchandise or tools.Protect what you value most in relation-ships this week.

Aquarius; Be careful about acquiring orappropriating things that belong to otherpeople. Beware of underhanded maneuversthat could endanger your relations withloved ones and young people or cause you tolose funds in unrealistic investments.

Pisces; Accept a chance to get experienceon the job. Keep safety guards in place.Crosscurrents with those at or from adistance. Avoid unnecessary conversationwith co-workers.

Miller presents mosquito lectureWayne Miller, head of the Lee County

Mosquito Control, presented a film andspoke last Tuesday night to the membersand guests of the Sanibel CommunityAssociation. Before the talk, Alfred Zuttonepresented a petition to Miller signed by 74home-owners of the Rocks for the purpose ofobtaining more effective control ofmosquitoes. After Miller had accepted thepetition he said, "Before there are anyquestions let me say that we will fly theisland tomorrow morning." The audiencecheered.

He asked how many native Floridianswere in the audience of more than a hun-dred. Four only raised their hands. He saidat the time Florida was being considered forstatehood, Congress did not want Florida tobe admitted because it was a land ofswamps, quagmires and mosquitoes.Although Florida has solved some of theswamp and quagmire problems, themosquito problem was still very much inexistence. On September 5, 1950, near theSanibel Ferry landing, 365,000 mosquitoeswere collected in a light trap which up tothat time was the largest count in the world.

"However," he contined, "the collectionwas understandably limited by the size ofthe light trap."

Lee County has 43 different species butSanibel has the dubious distinction of beingthe largest producer of salt watermosquitoes. -

The approximately 25 minute film in-formed us that the mosquito can affect the—onomy of Florida. It showed the larva on

j of the water and in the earth. The earthlarva will remain dormant as long as thereisn't enough rain to hatch them so duringdry times there are not many of the adultfresh water mosquitos.

After a good rain, however, the larvexchanges into the pupa and five days laterthey are adults ready for action.

There are 75,000 acres in Lee Countywhich are potential breeding grounds for thesalt marsh and fresh water, mosquitoes. Thesalt marsh mosquito, having a flight rangeof 50 miles, must be controlled by a com-prehensive control program. The LeeCounty larvaciding program has been ef-ficient and effective. However, the

"household" mosquitoes have only a twomile flight range and will "bite only thosewho raise them." Homeowners should notkeep open areas of standing water so thatthe fresh water mosquito can not find aplace to lay her eggs.

Although larvaciding is effective, adultsdo emerge. At that tune when the count ishigh, DC 3 spray planes will fog withadulticide chemicals which are mixed at themosquito control headquarters by computerand piped into the planes. Truck mountedfogging machines are being phased out andaccording to Miller, there should be nofogging at all as the larvaciding programbecomes more comprehensive.

Research agencies have tested newmaterials in Lee County and have found noadverse effects on aquatic life. Other formsof control are mosquito control canals whichare freeflowing and have a supply of larva-eating fish. The film showed a picture of theDing Darling Wildlife drive which wasestablished as a mosquito control dike. Ithas drained the high ground and maintaineda high water level in other areas for fishlife.

However, the mosquito control canals arenot without problems. The water hyacinthand hydrilla have found a compatible homein the canal waters and have become soprolific that the Mosquito Control has un-dertaken a program to free the waters fromthe clogging nature of the vegetation.

Argentina beetles have been tested andare now being used to help destroy thehyacinth. The white amur fish is now in anexperimental state in about a half dozenlakes in Florida. The fish lives on un-derwater vegetation.

During the question and answer periodafter the film a question was asked if theMosquito control was doing anything dif-ferent than last year. Miller answered thatthey were avoiding the Lighthouse Reser-vation, the Ding Darling Sanctuary areasand the homes of victims of emphysemaand the homes of several people who haveobjected to spraying. He added however,that "it is our intent to carry on as usual."

He was asked if the homeowner could helpin the effort and was told that there arethree principle mosquitoes which wereimpossible for the homeowner to do

anything about and that they were bestcontrolled by an organized program.

He reiterated that they were going tocontrol the adults throughout the summersince they had had counts on Sanibel ofupwards to 100,000, adding that "we canmake life quite pleasant."

Before the Miller report, Bob Potts an-nounced that the Community Associationhad been granted relief from causeway tollsfrom Lee County for the purpose of buildingtheir new building and because of this theyare putting in 2,000 cubic yards of fill at $1.90per cu. yd.

He also said that the board of directorshad decided that any commercial or privateuse of the building should be charged anormal rental fee and that included city hall

functions. He then asked for a show of handsasking how many of the audience thoughtthat the city should pay rent. All but twothought the city should.

Arthur Orloff, treasurer, gave his reportannouncing that membership had dropped

"24 per cent and reminded the group thatproceeds from the shell fair were mandatedto go into the building fund and could not gointo operating funds. He said that either newmembers would have to be found or thatdues would have to be raised or theoperating capital would be depleted in a fewyears.

The meeting was adjourned after a verydelicious supper, homemade by the ladies ofthe association and a very informative,interesting meeting.

Little public input at budget workshops

Budget (from p. 1)

combining the building department with theengineering department for the time beingthus being able to cut some more out of thebudget.

They decided to reconvene Friday at 4 tocontinue sorting out the money "until wedrop," said Butler.

Friday, the workshop consisted of literallybeating the budget back down to 3.9 plus orminus mills during a two hour session ofmental gymnastics, by adding here, takingaway there.

Porter Goss started the meeting by sayingthat he had had calls, letters and "say so's"which all led him to believe that the cityshould be as "frugal as possible."

Dave Bretzke had indeed combined thebuilding and zoning departments, saving thecity $36,000, and before the meeting wasover, the council had combined not only thetwo above but the road and parkwaydepartment. The combined departmentsnow called public works will have a budgetof $76,000, headed up by an engineer.

Chief John Butler was called in to discussthe police budget. He was told that the mainproblem with the police department at thistime is that none of the men live on Sanibel.Zee Butler said that he had the beginnings ofa fine police department. Chief Butler saidthat with an additional "sworn person" hecould maintain round the clock service. Thecouncil decided that since this was "theleanest of the lean years" Butler would haveto do without a fifth officer, at least for thetime being. . .

The legal budget of $65,000 came underattack-Thursday the budget had beenraised to $80,000. Francis Bailey remarkedthat the'council had no real way of knowing

where they were going. "We're, in the dark.We had $33,000 then we doubled it, almost,and then we added $15,000 more." With that,the legal budget was left at $65,000 .and$25,000 was added to contingency bringingthe total of THe~~contingency fund up to$40,000.

By this time they had gotten the budgetback down to around 4 mills. The mayorrecapped the three days of work: "Let'sunderstand where we are. 1. Cut out pen-sions; 2. cut out expansions of personnel; 3.took $3,000 out of raises; 4. combined threedepartments; 5. added $25,000 to con-tingency; 6. left $7,500 for special projectsand 7. subtracted Schooley's deficit of$8,000.

"We are now right at Dave's budget. Wehave come up with the same bottom linewith the exception of Schooley's $8,000." Thethree days of meetings represented ashuffling of categories.

Salary increases were discussed again.Jim Robson said that the city is paying topdollar for its help. Goss recommended that a:s per cent to 5 per cent salary raise beconsidered after one full year of service. ZeeButler was opposed to merit increases foreveryone. The mayor charged Bretzke tocalculate what merit increases would ac-tually amount to for the present 13 em-ployees at 4 per cent, with an eye towardreducing the $5,000 which had been addedearlier.

At six o'clock the mayor said that it wastime to quit, not because it was 6 o'clock, butbecause he had no more to say. Someoneasked what the millage was at the moment.Goss said if he was pinned down to an exactfigure he'd guess it to be exactly 3.9785.Without the aid of a computer and severalmore hours of work we'd guess his guess isprettylftose. . v

City council - p.m« reportThe afternoon session of last Tuesday's

city council meeting was about equallydivided in time considering several or-dinances and listening to the attorney for the.Sanibel Bayous Subdivision.

The second draft of the dog ordinance wasa re-write with help from CROW and thepublic health department. Before there wastoo much discussion, Zee Butler said froman administrative view, there were toomany ordinances, an overworked city halland that the ordinance should be deferreduntil the Comprehensive Land Use Plan wasdone. She said that she was not for peopleallowing dogs to be rabid and that what shesaid should not be misconstrued to meanthat she was not for the ordinance itself, butthat she felt that city council had more to dothan they needed at the moment.

Francis Bailey said that rabies is a veryserious disease and maybe the ordinancecould be whittled down from its 11 pages toinclude just rabies control.

Builer came back that it should be tabledindefinitely since there was enough to doworking with the land plan. Bailey said itshould be rescheduled; LeBuff agreed. Themayor directed Dave Bretzke to reschedule

the ordinance for Sept. 15.The second ordinance to be heard was the

AEti-littering ordinance which passed and iseffective immediately (August 5).

After a few additions, corrections, anddeletions, the mayor said, "I think we'vetaken care of the most ridiculous parts," (ofthis ordinance).

Butler objected to the ordinance on thesame grounds as the dog ordinance, "This isan unnecessary ordinance. It puts an addedload on all our personnel."

Bailey said that vegetative debris is notdetrimental to human health and an asset tothe land. "Decomposition of vegetativematerial is composting and good for thesoil."

Goss: "Call it a compost pile."Butler: "Send it back to the drawing

board and reschedule for a later date."LeBuff said not to put it off. He said that

they could find the right terminology tosatisfy Bailey.

A lady in the audience asked what peoplewere supposed to do with all the treetrimmings. The mayor responded that hehad a tree limb hauled off. The lady asked,"Where'd they haul it?" The mayor smiled

and said "I don't know."Butler said that the ordinance had its first

reading on the 1st of July, was tabled the 29of July and was now taking more of thecouncil's time on the 5th of August. It wasobvious that the council had not had time tofully explore the ramifications of this or-dinance. The mayor reminded her that itwas a public hearing. Butler motioned tocontinue the hearing until Sept, 15.

Paul Howe said that there was a"legislative intent" clause which the citycouncil should try to use more often.

Mario Hutton said that he was not talkingas a dog owner or a litterbug but that hecould not say with more emphasis that heagreed with councilman Butler. He was 100per cent in back of the comprehensive landuse plan.

I.H. Simmons said, "I'm getting damnsick of cleaning trash off the island. It willnot take added personnel or added money.We need this ordinance."

A vote was taken. Vernon MacKenzie is onvacation. The vote was tied two and two.The mayor said that the ordinance was allright. LeBuff moved adoption as amended.It was seconded and passed, with Butlerrecording a "no" vote.

Phase three of the subdivision isscheduled now to be developed forhomesites as planned in the original overallsiteplan and accepted by the comity in 1973.

Since the beginning of the city of Sanibel,the moratorium on building and the ad-dendum on subdivisions, the developers ofthe subdivision were looking for an answeras to how their already county acceptedsubdivision plans now fit into the city plans.Smalley said that he hoped that the intent ofthe ordinance was not to stop continuingdevelopmental plans.

The mayor asked whether the wholesubdivision including Callosa's RU 3 areaswere included in the discussion. Smalleysaid they weren't but that the developerwould be back at a later time to discuss therest.

The mayor asked "What is at stake here?The council is reluctant to say antyhingwithout study."

After a good deal more discussion backand forth the case was continued, probably

THE FASTEST SERVICE ON THE ISLAND

Tuesday, August 12, 1975 Islander

By Skip PurdyReal e e l tips . . .

Redfish are runningIsland and visiting anglers are happy to

hear that more and more redfish are beingtaken daily. I've had many reports of smallschooling redfish around the SanibelCauseway and the light-house end of theIsland.

The redfish is a copper or bronze color.The body is heavy and powerful with asquared-off tail. The easiest way to identifya redf ish is by the black spot at the base ofthe tail.

The best methods of fishing for these fishare casting in the surf, trolling near bottom,and casting in bay, inlets or flats. Theredfish is a bottom feeder.

At the edge of an ocean slough, shell bedor cut will be a good spot for catching thesefish.

They are slow strikers. Take ample timefor the fish to take hold of the natural baits.

The redfish doesn't jump but willgenerally head for the bottom fightingdoggedly. They usually don't make longruns.

The average weight is 5-20 pounds andthe edibility is considered good to exceDent.

This week I have some tips on keepingyour fishing rod in tip-top condition.

It's very easy to take care of your fishingtackle and economical, too, when youconsider the replacement cost. This carecan also prevent a fishing trip disaster whenyour equipment could fail.

Save and file any brochures and in-structions tiiat come with new tackle. Whenmaintenance is needed, you can check backto your files. Most of the reel brochures havea parts list for repairs and a parts andservice department mailing address.

Give regular maintenance to your fishingtackle after each fishing day. Make a morethorough examination after any long fishingtrip and a complete check up at the end of

each fishing season.Most fishing rods are broken in car or

home doors. I recommend keeping your rodin a rod case as in rod racks on a boat. Youcan make a case easily from plastic, heavycardboard or aluminum tubing.

Never knock your fiberglass rod againstanything. This could cause a slight fracturein the rod blank. These fractures are usuallyimpossible to detect until too late.

Check your rod over carefully after a dayof fishing. If you were fishing in scummywater or salt water be sure to wash the rodoff thoroughly with fresh water. Pay doseattention to the guides-and reel seat.

After you dry the rod, give it a good checkfrom tip to butt. Grooved, bent or brokenguides should be replaced before your nextfishing trip. Make sure there is no dirt orsand around the guide frames. If so, use asmall brush to clean them.

Use a pipe cleaner to remove any dirt orsand in and around the ferrules. This is veryimportant because a bit of sand could scorethe glass and weaken it the next time the rodis ferruled. Clean the threads of locking reelseats the same way with a little lighter fluid.

After each prolonged fishing trip, thesame general checking should be made,taking more care of checking guides,windings, ferrules, and reel seats.

Check the guides for grooves by running anylon stocking through them. If it snags thenreplace the guide. Also check for loosewindings, replacing any that are nicked orcut. Check the rod ferrules. They will haveto be replaced or repaired if loose.

After the fishing season, go over the rodagain thoroughly. Check all parts and fit-tings. Any that are loose, worn, or brokenshould be repaired.

Now you and your rod will be completelyready for the next season of fishing.

Litter ordinance now law; full textThe ISLANDER is printing in full the antHittering

ordinance which was passed by City Council Tuesdayafternoon, August 5. We are printing it because anumber of people, reading it for the first time, calledto our attention that if it were enforced to the letter, itcould in time turn Sanibel into a manicured park—forinstance, if paragraph "a." of Section 2 were in-terpreted literally, you would not be able to sweep thesand from your porch onto the ground, or, even worse,if neighbor X decided that neighbor Y's "nativejungle" was not a native jungle, but a lot full of lit-tering weeds which caused neighbor X a healthproblem, conceivabley, neighbor X could, by usingthis law, force neighbor Y to mow his jungle into amanicured lawn.

While the ISLANDER is not pro litter and while weknow it is not the intent of our present councilmembers to carry enforcement to any such lengths, itis now law and a council elected 20 years hence mayindeed decide to enforce it literally.

The ISLANDER called Zee Butler (who votedagainst the ordinance) and she agreed that ourworries were valid. (However, she said, "Of course 1am anfi-iitter, and while there are some parts of thisordinance which need re-working, I'm not par-ticularly worried at this time, since, when we get thetotal legislative package together, after the masterplan, then we will be able to re-work the overlappingportions of present ordinances and tie up some of theloose ends."

She also mentioned that after the completetion ofthe master plan, many of the ordinances presently on'he books '.vill have to be rewritten and reworked andshe assumed the litter ordinance would be one ofthem.

The ISLANDER certain!}" hopes so. because If thisordinance is left as it is. it could, according to who'stiamg '.he interpreting and enforcing, seriously in-fringe upon She rights of individuals to do what theyA L<-h wish and an their own property.

On our way to the City of GoldBy Ruth Hunter

Casey Jones, the brave engineer lived inJackson, Tennessee, and his quaint littlehouse, is sitting there for all to visit.

Casey (not to be confused with the Casey-at-the-bat Casey) was six feet four. Therewere four Jones boys and they were allengineers and they were all that high. Thereis talk that Casey wasn't so darn brave as hewas fool-hardy—all four boys were.Looking at his engine in the yard we got tothinking why he didn't just put on the brakesand jump with his helper. Mrs. Casey Jones,from her pictures, looked a lot like ourCharlotte White. Mrs. Jones has -written abook "My husband Casey Jones" and herlittle old organ is there with a, sheet ofmusic:

• "Come all your rounders if you want to^ h e a r

A story about a brave Engineer.Casey Jones was the rounder's NameOn a six eight wheeler boys he won his

fame.The caller called Casey at half past fourHe kissed his wife at the station door.He mounted to the Cabin with his orders in

his handAnd he took his farewell trip to that

promised land.Casey Jones-mounted to the cabinCasey Jones, with his orders in his handCasey Jones mounted to the cabin and be

tookhis farewell trip to that promised land."

you hum that tune, you can see whyCasey would be popular enough to

have the United States Postal Service honorMm with a special stamp. The song madeCasey famous, and Tennessee does give youa copy of it «no music with the dollar ad-mission.

I wished it hadn't rained so hard, in LittleRock. Arkansas, because we only saw fromthe outside the lovely old State Hotse winchis one of the finest examples of ante beDumarchitecture in the whole South, trees andlawns and bis bJR pillars. Since it was

raining so hard, we couldn't go inside.I wanted to because all the gowns worn by

the State's first ladies are there. One timewe saw those at Lambert Castle in Pat-terson, New Jersey.

I wrote to Mrs. Grover Cleveland or Mrs.Woodrow Wilson to tell her how pretty her'swas and when the former First Lady repliedI learned all wives of ex-presidents havetheir mail delivered free for so long as theyare alive. That's almost as good as themedal New York's Sam Shubert gaveLindberg which was a pass to any theater atany time Lindberg wanted to go.

In spite of all the downpour of rain we gotto Choetaw. Arkansas, to spend the night.Throughout our countrylndian names havebeen preserved.

Choetaw makes you think you're biting oncole slaw. I remembered the meal atChoetaw when we asked a fellow where toeat, he replied "There are two places. If youeat in one, you wish you had eaten in theother." Choetaw had some lovely wildflowers growing outside our door and Istarted an experiment, by propping up a fewstyrofoam cups on the glove compartmentshelf I could carry posies with mewhereever we drove. Each state had somedifferent kinds.

Of course occasionally I gave the im-provised vase a shove which resulted in awet seal for me and also tfae driver, whoshouted some words which were not "stop","go", •"turn to the right." e t c

To visit George Washington Carver'sNational Monument at Diamond, Missouri, *is to automatically put a great lamp in yourthroat, for you think of his humble begin-ning.—About his mother, a document whichreads:

accomplished, through his long life they areastonishing. The three hundred uses for thepeanut was just one.

Down a path we walked to the gruesome'hanging tree' and as I got back in the car, Ithought too, of all the wonderful things hesaid, "Look about you. Take hold of thethings that are here. Let them talk to you.You learn to talk to them." "It is not thestyle of clothes one wears, neither the kindof automobile one drives, nor the amount ofmoney one has in the bank that counts.These mean nothing. It is simply servicethat measures success."

Perhaps when you are driving through thecountry you read the signs. I always do; on a

store "If we don't have it, its probably notunpacked,"; on a camper, "the TiltonHilton.".

Thru the forrest and a doe darts out, alongthe road a little chipmunk, miles and milesof Queen Anne's lace, then all of a suddenbrown eyed susans grow.

I looked at my flowers on the glovecompartment shelf and rememberedGeorge Washington Carver's words.

We sincerely hope that no one tried lastweek's reeeipe, since about half of it got leftout somehow or other. (It must be thosegremlins in the computers.) Anyhow, here itis again, hopefully in its true blue full ver-sion.

This reeeipe is for jaded tastebuds and isnamed Herbed Vegetable Medley.

First drain (reserving a half a cup of thesyrupy juice) a 1 lb. 4 oz. can of Dolepineapple chunks. In a saucepan, combinethe juice with one third of a cup of whitewine vinegar. 2 Tbsp. salad oil, 2 tsp.seasoned salt, 2 tsp. instant minced onion,one quarter tsp. seasoned pepper, one fourthtsp. basil and about 2 cupfulls of paredcarrots which you have sliced on thediagonal in no larger than one half inchpieces. Cover and cook for ten minutes.

Then add approximately two cups ofcelery, chopped into about 2 inch chunks,stir, and cook for another 10 or 15 minutesuntil vegetables are just barely tender butstill crispy. Remove from heat and add thedrained pineapple chunks. If you insist, youmay serve immediately, but tis much betterchilled overnight and served cold in pre-chilled bowls. This amount will make aboutsix people very happy once or three people

happy twice. (In other words, six servingsresult.)

A summer hint for iced tea drinkers—tryfreezing tea into ice cubes so that whilst yousip delicately, the tea doesn't get water-y.

Speaking of things to drink, here's anafternoon cooler and pick-me-up. Make apot of stronger than usual coffee (regular orinstant! and cool till just above hike warm.Pour into a glass half filled with ice cubesand a generous scoop of chocolate icecream! Mmmm. (For those with extrasweet tooth tastes, you may wish to addsugar and maybe even some milk or halfand half. If you do, we suggest you add it tothe coffee before you pour it into the glass.

We seem to be inundated with shortreceipes this week, so here's the las t -simple, but delicious. Unwrap a block of 8oz. cream cheese and place in the middle ofa large wooden serving tray. Drain a 1 Ib. 2oz. can of crushed pineapple and mix wellwith an 8 oz. jar of chutney. Spoon overcream cheese (it forms a sort of icing—don'tknow why, but it does) and surround withsesame seed crackers. Since it makes about35 crackers full, we suggest you throw asmall parly or serve to your family whenthey're in a nibbling-in-front-of-tlie TV-mood.

More about mosquitoesThe ISLANDER received two letters over

the weekend, both about those pesky critterswhich bite away. They are reproduced infull below. See page IS of this week'sISLANDER for the original AuduboB letter,and last week's issue for ZuHone story.

Mr. Jack K. Thomas, Jr.Conservation ChairmanSanibel-Captiva Audubon Society

Dear Mr. Thomas:This is in response to year letter of August

6, 1975, tendering a copy of a resolutionrelating to mosquito control which wasadopted by your Board of Directors.

I note the resolution refers to "illegal useof Baytex and Abate." If the Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society has informationindicating that the use of Baytex and Abateis either illegal or by any other standard isnot in the best interests of the citizens of LeeCounty, I am confident the Board of Com-missioners of the Lee County MosquitoControl District would be delighted toreceive it. The District uses these and otherinsecticides, in a proper manner, well withinrecommended limits. It is suggested thatyou present information to the contrary at

any regular meeting of the Board of Com-missioners. These meetings are held thefirst Thursday after the first Monday of.each month at ten o'clock a.m. at the officeof the District, Homestead Road, FortMyers. Florida.

In addition, it appears to me that yourBoard of Directors, and, thereby, possiblyyour membership, is either uninformed ormisinformed regarding the programcarried out by the Lee County MosquitoControl District. For this reason, I wouldrequest that I be permitted to appear beforeyour fuB membership, to discuss mosquitocontrol in Lee County. I would prefer that atleast forty-five minutes be set aside for thispurpose.

Your assistance in this regard will beappreciated.Wayne MillerLee County MosquitoControl District

Dear Mr. and Mrs. ZuHone:I have the copy of your letter to Mr.

Wayne Miller with regard to the petition forrelief from mosquito infestation in the

Rocks area. I live in the Rocks and wassurprised I had not had the opportunity toread your petition sooner.

I share your concerns about mosquito-borne diseases and I do not much care forthe lesser irritations of mosquitoes either.

I think however there is a compromiseposition between your well-thought-out con-cerns and Mr. Campbell's reported con-cerns over the environment. Without at-tempting to argue Mr. Campbell's case forhim, I will say that if there is a way tocontrol mosquitoes without causing damageto the environment, it would certainly seem

to be a responsibility of Mr. Miller's to findthat way.

Hopefully, somewhere between totalcessation of mosquito control effort on theone hand, and a serious environmentalimpact by using questionable sprays on theother hand, there is a compromise positionwhich I hope the knowledgeable men of theLee County Mosquito Control District willadopt to successfully resolve the concerns ofall affected parties.

They go shelling every day and Thursday Mr. Elias reallvfound himseif a prize.

He was walking in about 3 feet of water right in front oftheir cottage, when his foot hit something. He reached downto see what it was, and found just about 2 inches of shellsticking out of the sand.

He dug deeper and finally uncovered an Albino LigfataingWhelk—measuring I3!2 inches. It was alive and one of themost beautiful shells I've ever seen. He brought it into theoffice, where 1 work, the next day. It is without a doubt thegreatest shell in their collection, and they are both veryproud of it.

Council (from p. 6)

to be scheduled before the planning com-mission.

Two ordinances regulating Sanibel watersand on-faoard living and marina regulationswere tabled. Goss said that there had beenmany complaints about boats speeding inthe canals and posing real threats to batherson beaches.

However, the council decided thatalthough these were definite problems itwas not necessary to take immediate actionat this time. Butler heartily endorsed theproposal to table both ordinances.

The assistant city attorney reported that

the BueM case against the city would beheard on August 26 and that there was stilltime for negotiations.

Goss asked for councilman's reports.Butler said "I had a couple of things to bringup but I'll defer them til after the land useplan."

Bailey: "I wouldn't dare say anthing."LeBuff also declined to comment.The mayor said that priorities should be

established- He said that a legal censuscount be taken. Butler said that many thingseffecting the city are based on population.e.g. revenue sharing. Goss also said thathiring personnel was a must. "I am notprepared to work this hard next year."

Bretzke said that he needed clerical helpand a building inspector.

Audubon protests use of specific pesticidesThe Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society

recently sent a letter to Wayne Miller, headof the Lee County Mosquito .Control,

questing the ban of two specificsticides. The letter reads:"During our regular Board of Directors

meeting of the Sanibel-Captiva AudubonSociety, we adopted the following resolutionregarding Mosquito Control on the Islands:

" The Sanibel Captiva Audubon Society

requests the cessation of the illegal use ofBaytex and Abate, two organophosphatepesticides, on these environmentally sen-sitive sanctuary islands and suggests thatthe Lee County Mosquito Control Districtseek alternative control methods that areecologically sound and legally correct.'

I forcaSIboxes

Chief John Butler has started pinningvarious colored pins to a map of Sanibel.When we accused him of practicing a newform of voodoo, he kindly explained it wasan easy way to keep track of what majorcrimes are committed where. The wholeidea is that he wants to get police call boxesinstalled in high crime areas (such as the

. «

Tarpon Bay beach access) so that the publicwill be able to call the police for eitherpersonal help, or to report a crime inprogress, such as when they see someonebreaking into a number of cars. Well, if astitch in time will save nine, perhaps a pin inplace will save face. So ok. you come up witha better rhyme.

Well, folks my black eye got bigger nbigger an it hurt even with pacfcin ice on it.When it turned green and yellow and purpleI was afearect to let Bets see I'd been a-fightin so I got a friend of mine to drive medown to Key West fer a few days.

We played tourist—goin around the townon the little train ae drinkin some beer atJoe's in between puttin ice cubes on my eyetil the swellin started goin down an I feltmore like a human again.

When we got back I found out my namehad been called down an account of mehavin wrote a wrong opinion—well, now ifeverybody had a right opinion this countrywouldn't be in the shape it's in.

Actually it wasn't my opinion that wasunder discussion but them other two fellasthat busted me in the eye fer sticken up ferthe lady in question. If it's upsettin to someto know what's gettin talked around on the

- island then mebbv I owe somebody an

apology fer puttin a pen on paper—but Idon't think so.

So fur's I know Americans still has theright to talk, the right to listen an the right towrite even if it does get us a black eye nowand then. When we gets so fur down the roadthat those simple rights ain't around nomore we might jest as well call it like it is—totalitarianism. I got that word an how tospell it an the meaning of it out of Websters.

Bets come in jest as I was gettin this herething writ down an she reads it."What's thisabout? Sounds like you got two black eyes,not just one," she says so I had to tell her thewhole story.

She plunks her self down and sits therealaighin away. Purty soon she says,"Honey, you need a keeper!"

Before I know'd what I way sayin outcomes the words "Bets will ya marry me?"and she near doubles up with a howlinglaugh. "Not on your life" she says "you'reimpossible."

I was sittin with my chin in my hands all ofa sudden feelin real sad an she comes over,puts her arm around me an says "But I lovevou anvwav."
