Ansel Wins Transfer Of Density At Workshop

Television producer Jerry Ansel at Tuesday's Commissioner's workshop offe red to donate an additional $100,000 for the bu ildi ng o f a Youth Center or whatever building the Town wants to build on his donated bayside property once he fe lt the Com mission­ers were with him.

" Have Donated Several Million"·· Ansel Identifying himself as a long-time Longboat resident

and a conservationist, Ansel jumped to his feet as soon as he realized that the Town was, at long last, ready to accept his controversial trans fer-o f-density proposal.

He had already donated several million dollars to the ' Town in this trade-off, he said, but he was ready to donate an additional $100,000 for the bu ilding. He added that he hoped the si te would be used judiciously to spare the ecologically important areas.

(Jack Kahn, Sr., guest columnist. is a retired hosiery and TV executive. former owner-manager 0/ the Far Horizons, longtime resident 0/ Longboat Key and an arch conservative in things political.)

Amendment "3 All too frequently, things happen which on the

surface seem unimportant but which in reali ty are very much so. Amendment 113 which was overwhelmingly passed despite The Herald· Tribune's suggestion that it be voted against, was one such happening but then the paper has been notorious in its "againstivism" for any indust ria lization. Over the years it has opposed the deep-water port at Manatee, an oi l refinery and phosphate mining, mostl y under the gu ise of environmentalism. Yet in order to publish its views on paper, The Tribune indirectly decimates forests for pulp and pollutes streams fo r sulphur which has to be used in making paper.

I am reminded of the many members of the S.O.B.A. who are opposed to the dredging of bays for housing developments yet many of them live on Bird Key which was also dredged from the bay. There doesn't seem to be a consistency in what one promotes with what one does .

Fortunately, you , the electorate, are far more perceptive. It is essential that Florida attract industry to give it more of an all year ' round economy than the seasonal one which it enjoys from tourism.

In order to attract industry special dispensations have to be made, particu larly when other states are competing fo r the very same.

Cullman, Alabama Take Cullman. Alabama, for example. In the late

'40's this was a desolate town without anything to recommend it. It had no industry except a sweet potato canning plant which operated for a total of three weeks during the year and which was located in a shed with no walls and a d irt floor on which rested stoves to cook the sweet potatoes. The roads of Cullman were clay. There was one drug store, the wi ndows of which had not been washed for fu lly six months. The displays in the window had faded and were disarranged. There was but one beauty shop in the entire town. It had one dilapidated hotel which housed many more rats than it did humans. ~he paper peeled from the walls. the pai nt had long smce disappeared and the toilet seats were cracked and practically unseatable.

Self· Reliance In the early decades of America's growing pains there

was spawned in the coun try brain bank, New England a philosphic soul by the name of Ralph Waldo Eme.~n who was convinc~ that if the new natioun r;>: • ~ '. itself above the old nallons and came forth wit · II i'llew world, it would have to start with the in ua " -with the you 's and me's and each individual would h~ve to have the key to il all which was the compound worded "Self-Reliance." Emerson put it all down on paper and "Self-Reliance," became one of his "essays" and in that sweet immortality of the printed word is with us yet.

However ... There's an industrialist in Barbour County Ken Auvil

who wonders if our "brave new world" has become a bit dusty and rusty, and in seeking the cause for the decadence , he att ributes it to the fact that Mr. Emerson's essay is conspicuously absent from the text books that are now prescribed for schools. He put up a monetary.p:rize to any Senior in any West Virginia high school wrltmg the best theme on the essay, When I firs t learned of this, I thought how meaningful it would be if he went one little mile more and used these themes as a~s in this paper. He fell for the idea and the prize wmners have now been appearing for over a year. •

ColliSion Course: Pla~tics Industry vs. Bureaucratic Rigidity

If another petroleum shortage develops, there are as­many as 80.000 jobs here in Massachusetts - 29 million in the United States - that could faJ! through a glaring economic crack caused by poor government planning.

The jobs are created by the SBO-billion plastics industry which is responsible for so many products it would take more space than this column just to list them all. Plastics surround us in everything from our homes and the clothes we wear to the food we eat and the work we do. A shortage of plastics, for example, would seriously hurt this state's high technology industry which is so successfully insulating us from the national recession.

Add North LBK To Bus Route?

Dear Editor: I ride the Route 6 Manatee County beach bus 3 days a

week. Recently the bus service includes an extra run to Coquina -- i.e. Coquina - Manatee Beach - Coquina -­then up Cortez Road.

To serve more Longboat Key bus riders, it would be more feasible to go from Coquina to Longboat Key Post Office/ Whitney Beach Shopping area -- then to Manatee Beach .. then to Cortez Road -- eliminating the 2nd close (unnecessary) run to Coquina Beach.

A petition is posted on the bulletin board in Longboat Key's Post Office to help support this change. In· terested bus riders are asked to sign as soon as possible.

Town Commissioner, Mr. Russ Fernald, will present this to the Manatee County Transportation Transit Division.

Sincerely, Dorothy Van Driel (Mrs. Martin) Longboat Key

Another Sands Bay Resident Objects Dear Editor:

My ignorance of the various alphabetical agencies is com plete (PUD . HUD, etc)! However. this much is clear, that some previous Board, in ~ranting permission -to build one or more hotels on South Longboat Key rendered a grave dis·service to the residents of this area and i~ the present Board compounds that dis-service by grantlOg the many variances that Arvida is seeking, they will rorever be held responsible.

.It. is my. understanding that Arvida is seeking special pnvlle~es 10 allowing smaller areas for parking space, recreation areas, and most importantly the elimination of the fifty foot set·back line on constructio n. . .' s ~iIJ co.nfess my con fusion on the density ordinance, IS It SIX units per acre, as I had understood or is it 16 or 17 un its per acre? '

I have sat through several meeti ngs of the Board and have heard it said that if the 50 foot set-back line is enforced, it still will not make any difference in the number of units Arvida is permitted to build. Common sense would indicate, fewer acres means fewer uni ts no? •

The transfer of density, and the inclusion of the golf course in calculating density make a mockery of our zoning regulations. The golf course is a commercial­enterprise operated for profit in two way! .,c-·.rst in the'" actual operation of the golf course itself, ~_Atlly as an attracti~n to prospective buyers of Arvida properties. There IS nothing wrong with this , but it shou ld be viewed in its proper perspecti ve.

Naturally. we in Sands Bay are the most directly ~ffected, but make no mistake, this project will alter the lifestyle of everyone on Longboat Key.

Sincerely. Preston Sch warts

The Awards Then George Paules, president of the Kiwanis Club,

called eleven persons, or their representatives, forward as their names were called to receive a framed certificate proclaiming them as an "outstanding citizen" of the town. All of their names were unveiled the next morning on a bronze tablet at the foot of the new flagpole in front of the Police Station, but Friday night was the first official announcement of the recipients.

Zeke Epstein was the first name called and his son was there from Chicago to receive the certificate. Herb Field came forward and he was very moved by the award. Conservationist Homer Greer was next, then Postmaster Helen Holl who was very moved by her selection. The late Wilfred A. LePage. the first Mayor, was not represented. but his daughter is expected down this month to receive the certificate.

Ansel McMichen, the first Fire Chief was taken to the hospital on Friday with a pinched nerve and could not accept, but his wife Hazel did.

Town pioneers standing behind the PeSChaiS.

Guy Paschal, the person who most pioneers name as the "father" of the Town, received his award followed by Howard Ridyard, the "elder statesman" who said that another pioneer Ruskin R. Williams. the artist who designed the Town Seal should also be mentioned.

Anse 1 Wins ............. (Continued from page 1)

Appraisals Cause Of Switch II was the apprai sals that caused the change of heart

among most of the Commissioners. An outside, im pal tial appraiser had put a value of $5,608,500 on the baysiJe property which Ansel has offered to the Town in ex,;hange for the right to build 3 units more per acre on Ilis Gulf front land. The appraiser said the beacnfront property was worth 58,220,000.

Grab It ... Fast Sam Seegel noted that the end · result of this trade

would be to reduce the overall density in the town. " How long would it take to get the $5 million plus to buy this properlY?" he asked. "We should do it and do it damn fast before Mr. Ansel changes his mind ."

Commissioner Sid Ochs described the bayside pro­peny as "a beautiful place with clear, clean water and great sta nds of now-rare trees. " His comment was. "We should pick it up now. "

Russ Fernald, the Commission's most impassioned con ~ervationis l , was in favor o f the transfer, too. NOling that he had checked it all out carefully, "as an eng neer would," Fernald said that accepting Ansel 's ofkr "would make sense because it is land that should be ~ ept. "

Assures Open, Green Space e oth Com missioners Riter and Lewin indicated that,

the .gh they previously were against it, they now fe lt thaI the land was too valuable for the Town to pass up.

lewin felt that the proposal assures the Town of the 0P~ :1, green space that " we keep talk ing about but not doi 19 anyt hing about."

On ly Commissioner Claire Bell was against it, as she always has been.

White Sands Verd:ct Wednesday 11, other workshop action, the Commissioners ques­

tioned AI Cox, head of the Building Department, trying to determine exactly what developer Michael Saunders had been told about the conformity of her remodeled Wh Ite Sands buildings.

A fter several statements, by Cox. the Commissioners wer e left with the impression that the Building Oej:,artment thought Ms. Saunders was removing two uni ls and did not know that she planned to put those two units in another building.

A decisio n was promised for Wednesday night's regu lar month ly Commissioners' meeting.

Final Arvida Confrontation Wednesday After an hour of legalistic discussions among the

various attorneys present, including Commissioners Seegel and Ochs. on amendments to the Town ordina nces permitti ng Open Space credit for Arvida's golf and tennis facilities. it was agreed to settle the matter once and for all at Wednesday night' s meet ing.

The same fate awaits the several objections to Arvida's plan to "cluster" Ihe recreational facilities in its new Gu lf Planned Development, as well as Arvida's object ions to some of the wording in the amendments.

Tennis Included This week, for the first time, the word "tennis"

appeared along with "golf" in the facilities that will reserve a percentage of memberships for island residents who do not li ve in the Arvida GPO. The presence of Hal Liberman, president of Longboat Key Club Tennis Associatio n, underscored this. He noted that he was pleased with the suggested solution .

Jewfish Key A Dilemma In other matters, the mailer of gra nting a bui lding

permit for a single family home on lewfish Key was referred to the Town Attorney.

Commissioner Seegel , an attorney, said that, in his opinion, the Town either had to issue the permit or buy the property , as refusal amounted to condemnation. Town Planner Jack Whelan felt that the Town Attorney's office was the right place for the dispute as many judges feel that a town's Master Plan has the force of an ordinance.

This too, was put on the Wednesday night agenda.

Traffic Engineer Advises As its final consideration, Whelan introduced an

impartial traffic engineer to comment and advise on the road systems suggested by bOlh Arvida and by An Koenig of Sands Bay Concominium .

He commented that Arvida's road plan is alright but pointed out to the Commissioners several things that they should watch for and have clarified as the site planning and landscaping proceed. •

Sands Bay Claims GPO Includes Them

Sands Bay Condominium residents arrived at Tuesday 's workshop in high style, •• aboard a double­decker bus, -- and proceeded to fill the meeting room to a standing-room-only capacity.

Support For Koenig The residents paid for the bus them selves to get a

large group out to support their representative, Art Koenig, in his request to have Sands Bay and the other "caplive condominiums" declared part of Arvida's Gulf Planned Development (GPO) .

" Are Part Of GPO" "We are a part of the GPO," Slated Koenig,

indicating that the Sands Bay residents would like to have thei r inclusion put in wriling.

Though Arvida does nOI include Sands Bay, the Pri vateer and Longboat Key Towers in ils GPO today. it did include them back in the days when it was tryi ng to keep from filing an Environmenialimpaci statemen t for the GPO. insisted Koenig.

To Avoid Impact Papers? He presented document s purporting to show that

Arivda 's Tallahassee attorneys used the three captive condos as evidence that the GPO was a "continuing develpment," -- some of it already having been built -­and not a new development that would be required to file the impact papers.

"If we were part of it then, we are part of it now," said Koenig, to a round of applause from the Sands Bay residents , stat ing that they therefore fell they were en­titled to all of the rights and privileges of GPO residents.

Spot Zoning Another protester expressed her opinion that if Sands

Bay is not a part of Arvida's planned unit development, then it would have to be considered SpOt loning.

Arvida representatives did not choose to answer, saying that it all would be sett led in the regular Wednesday night Commissioners' meeting . •

It Was A Great Day For The Fair

These views 01 the dinner, the parade and the Fair wefe taken by Dave Gruber 01 longboat Camera and Include close .to 100 people. Ralher ,than identify them aU, which we would have trouble doing, see II you are In one ollhem.

ts I\. t-ounaers uay ...... (Continued trom page 4)

Mayor Ken McCall was in the lead car, followed by 'ed Wilkinson and one of his antique Rolls Royce autos nd then the Peppermint Stick Trolley , a replica of the an Francisco vehicle, driven up from Naples for the ccasion, courtesy of the Longbool Observer.

The Trolley The trolley had Peppermint Stick passes fo r those

'ho remembered the old restaurant of that name, and ley were also given to former Mayors, most of whom )de the trolley down GMD. About midway to the end , Ie driver put on some taped march music, and from len on, the trolley rocked with hand-clapping and the oise of the bell. The trolley (or one just like it) will begin service from

t. Armands Circle to and from Lido Beach and arasota on Thanksgiving weekend and will continue ntil spring. Another will go between Palm Avenue and t. Armands. The St. Armands Circle Association is acking the project and will see if there is enough usiness to extend it up to Longboat Key, but initially it 'ill be just for the immediate SI. Armands area. The Cub ScoutS and Boy Scouts were next, fo llowed

y more antique cars than the island has seen in years: orvairs, Wederbrock's old Dodges and assorted .ntage vehicles includ ing George Kreissle's 1925 Model Ford with a ru mble seat. Kathy Andrews, Teenage

:auty contest winner, rode in Win Cook's antique )adster. Ink's Dude Ranch provided convertibles for the 40

!oneybears from Bayshore High School, Arvida rovided transportation for the Folk Dancers and the orvairs took some ot hers, The Samoor Grotto of the hriners had 7 motorbikes, A full sca le Pirate Ship ,!lowed complete with the Anna Maria Privateers and leir "ladies", one of whom said she was not their o nly queen" since "pirates are notoriously greedy." The Storeview Corp had a nat bed with a microwave sh for home reception of satellites and Shenkel's, Sal hiefari's sound trunk, the Youth Center, Gulf Shore railer Park , the High Twelve, Longboat League ·and lits from 8 neighboring Police Departments. Those who sent units included the following Police hiefs: William Doss, Bradenton Beach; Thomas lanafeltm, Holmes Beach; Louis,Arena, Anna Maria; .E, Hambacher, Palmetto; Francis Scott, Sarasota; ax Skinner, Bradenton, plus Sheri ffs Tom Burton and m Hardcastle. The parade route was lined with hundreds of ectators who had drawn up chairs and clapped as the lits went by.

Memorable Moment At the dispersal area south of the Publix parking ea, the participants walked back to the nagpole where :orge Paules again named the recipients of the wanis awards, unveiled the bronze plaque, the Boy outs raised the flag and Melanie Paschal sang the .tional anthem in a most dramatic fashio n. It was a

fiuing climax to a fund raising drive that had raised enough money to pay for the pole and plaque and had spent months considering names.

With Old Glory unfolding in the wind, the flagpole ceremonies were over and the Fair itself began.

The Fair Most visable was the Freedom Savings balloon,

tethered but straining at the ropes, A few minutes later, the balloon was deflated since the wind was making it a hazard to the safety of all.

Chief McCammon was MC all day, assisted by Phil Williams as they introduced a series of acts that took turns entertaining all afternoon.

Tents were assigned to various organizations and they were decorated to attract the close to 5000 visitors who sauntered <lawn the "midway" to get drinks at the Colony tent, hot dogs at the Hilton tent , cakes at the Temple Beth Israel tent, had clown faces painted on , saw old films of the Bicentennial on Longboat 4 years ago or went into the Coast Federal to see an exhibit put on by the Anna Maria Is/ander. Other organizations taking part included the Beach Owners Association, the

Longboat League, ~~~~~~~L~ibtr~a~ry~'~I~h~e~Fire Depanment, Coast ~

The phone rang. I lifted the receiver 10 hear a groan. "You the person who wrote the column about the

herbs?" asked a pained female voice. As I ansered affirmalivley, she comi nued. "You said you'd teU what ~le Indians used for rheumatism. Well, I have this really awful backache, see. Does it work?"

" Have you tried aspirin?" " It upsets my stomach. WeJl1" " If you'd like to try the Yokia Indian rheu malism

cure," I said, "build a fire over some rocks and let it burn down. Then throw pi ne twigs on the ashes. Wrap yourself in a blanket and lay on them. Sprink le waler on the hot rocks occasionally so you get steam and the oil smell of the pine. Just lie there, sweating and inhaling for 8 to 10 hours and your pain will leave. "

" This is a cure?" She screamed. "I shou ld lie there on hot rock s for 10 hours? I wouldn't be cured, I'd be dead!"

" Well , you could try a nice lea made of Ihe boiled berries of pokeweed, but don't eal them raw, as they can poison you . Or you can use Ihe dried rool which is also being tested to eliminate snails."

" You ' re trying 10 kill me!" she screamed. " I'm in pain and you're maki ng jokes! "

"No I'm nOl!" I explained. "Lots of these cures sound strange to us because we're used to getting our ftelp from a litt le pill out of a bottle."

I laid her whal Dr. Norman Farnsworth, a consultant to the World Health Organization, said ... "For every disease that afflict s mank ind , there is a treatment or a cure occurring naturally on this earth. "

"So what would YOU do if you had pains and aches in the back like mine?" she asked slyly.

" I'd probably go to the health food Slore where they sell herbs, and get some burdock root, peppermint and maybe black cohosh and sassafras and brew up a nice pot of herb tea. I'd sweeten it wit h a li tt le raw honey and really enj oy it! Then I'd take the leaves and root pieces and make a hot poultice and pUI it on my back where it hurt. "

"You think the Indians did it that way?" she asked. "That is what the book says, except that they

gathered their own herbs. By the way, to whom am I speaking?" I enquired .

" Just call me Pocahantas," she replied . •

ART Hodgell Hartman Gallery

"Clay and Paper"

HanCl built ceramic potl and calt paper from the "Clay and Paper" show at the Hodgell Hartman Gallery in Sarasota.

Art had its beginnings in necessities. At some point in time, somebody figures out thatnollowed balls of baked clay can carry water, wool can be turned into thread that can be woven, that a man can become one of his gods by artering his appearance with body paint; and that's how art was born.

"Clay ... " Much of the work in the "Clay and Paper", five

person show at the Hodgell Hartman Gallery in Sarasota, is reminiscent of early societies and their crafts. The relationship to the past is most ob'\! ious in the work of Susan Livingston and Marilyn Foreman, who provide the clay half of the show.

Livingston uses a white clay that, when fired, comes out looking very pristine with a dull, pasty-white, slightly pitted su rface that is very appealing. She therefore leaves the pots unglazed. using only textural. added bits of clay or different clay bodies for d~oration, which is kept to a minimum to emphasize the natural surface. The shapes of most of the pieces -short and bulbous with a small lip - are as old and as universal as the art itself.

The shapes of Marilyn Foreman's work hark back to the early civilizations of the Mediterranean area. Many of her pots have long slender necks and elongated bodies that are much wider at the top than at the bottom, so much so that some need straw-rings to k.eep them upright. Like Livingston's work, Foreman's is very well crafted and emphasizes purity of form over decoration. The smokey grey to black colorations are a 'byproduct of the firing methods she uses. The effects add interest to the pi~es without overpowering the impressive hand-built forms.

..• and Paper" Philip Mullen' s serigraphs are printed on hand made

papers that are esthetically pleasing in themselves. The rectangular printed shapes, which are subdivided into rectangular zones of overlapping color dashes, cover only a portion of the paper, making the paper itself an integral part of the pi~e rather than just a ground for the prints.

Again, early crafts come to mind when looking at Mullen's work. The papers remind us of the days before everything was made by machine, and the printed sections have the appearance of crudely made fibers that have been woven together.

Adolph Rutkin's pastels on black paper have the look of Oriental rugs. The structure involves rectangles within rectangles which form a series of borders for a large center n~~tangle. Ea~h border car.rie~ a diff~rent

THE LONGBOAT OBSERVER

lines that come together to create a tree-like form in the center of this shape. Energy, geomelry.and organic or cosmic imagery are combined in these beautifully executed drawings.

The fifth artist in the show is Michele Tuegel. Like Mullen, Tuegel makes her own paper. Dyes (some of which are sun sensitive) are used to tint the papers in soft green, red, violet, blue, yellow. orange and grey tones that are very appealing to the senses. The paper is molded or folded imo the desired forms which are repeated several times in each construction.

In one, an envelope form is repeated in three rows of three in various colors. Behind the envelopes are overlapping brown rectangles. in another, rectangular pieces of paper are gently folded and attached to a piece of plexiglass at the fold. The row of papers resembles an old book that had been left out in the rain with edges tinted in a full range of colors that run from the darker colors - grey. blue, green on the right - the yellows and oranges at the left.

The works in "Clay and Paper" go welJ together to produce a cohesive and pleasing show. There may be five people involved, but this is one exhibit, and a good­looking one at that.

The Hodgell Hartman Gallery is located at 48 S. Palm Avenue in Sarasota. •

The Buyways Gallery Sculpture by Alexander Ney

PorcelaIn sculpture by Alexander Ney.

The sculpture of the Russian-born artist. Alexander Ney. is both decorative and evocative. Decorative in their undeniable visual appeal and emphasis on ornamentation in the surface work. Evocative in that they are reminiscent of the art of Egypt and Africa. as well as the sculpture of America's Eskimos and Chinese ivory carvings.

The heads are horizontal ovals with large pronounced eyes and a projected nose and mouth that resembles a beak. In this, the head of a bird or dog or human all have much the same appearance. One is easi ly relatable to the .:l ther, reminding us of the unity of all living things. - The surfaces of each piece are decorated with a

complicated series of lines which consist of square and circular holes that vary in size from row to row. The intricate designs that cover the entire forms are amazingly uniform in the placement and depth of the holes within each row.

Some of the pieces are partially glazed in specific areas (eyes, hats, hair) with a pastel blue, yellow and dull brown. There may be some symbolic reason for doing so, but the heads that are left all white are much more eff~tive. The glazes tend to give them an inappropriate cuteness.

Also being shown are selected works from the gallery's artists. Local people being represented by the Buyways include Beth Arthur, Frank Elescue, Tateance McKinney and Virginia Halstead . The Buyways Gallery is located at 1311 Main St. in Sarasota.

Marilyn Bendell Galleries Paintings By Marilyn Bendell

Paintings representing 25 years of work by portrait artist, Marilyn Bendell, comprise the first show of the season at the Marilyn Bendell Galleries on Cortez Road. The exhibit includes some still life and floral studies, romantic figures seen in romantic places. as well as the portraits she is most known for .

The approaches to the subject matter vary from painting to painting. Some are rather straightforward. smoothly brushed affairs with a subdued range of colors, and other display a wide range of hues which have been thickly applied with brush and palette knife. But in both cases, Bendell's control over her media is very evident.

Personal Pictures Many of the portraits have that rather impersonal

"official portrait" look to them. In the paintings of her family, however, Bendell's involvement with her subject _ . _ •• _____ __ .L _ _ •• _L 'T'''';~:~ .... ,,~ ......... " .... nt in '" un:lOlt

another one of these warmly human paintings. This time, her son is shown trying to keep hold of his big yellow tomcat so he can have his pictured paiD'''ed .

Other works of interest include "Lester N ;trong," a portrait of an old man sitting in a wickefchair, and "David's World," which shows her son reading the Sunday comics behind a house.

The Marilyn Bendell Galleries are located at 4332 Palma Sola Blvd., near the corner of Palma Sola and Cortez Road (a little more than half way between Bradenton and Bradenton Beach). -

THEATRE The Island Players

"The Little Hut" By Andre Roussin

"The Little Hut" is a little play about three upper crust Englanders who are shipwrecked on a desert island. In keeping with tradition they retain a stiff upper labial and adapt to their environment. Afternoon coconut time may not be cricket, but one must keep up some semblance of decorum, even under the most difficult of circumstances, what?

But what the bumbling, good-natured Philip doesn't . know is that his fellow castaways, Susan and Henry. his

wife and best friend, have been having a secret affair for six years. The usually credulous Philip finds it hard to believe that he has been a cuckold all these years. But Ie eventually comes around and even agrees to share Susan on a week-to-week basis with Henry. An arrangement Philip comes to like and Henry comes to hate . Things change, though, when the stranger arrives.

Good Performances Andre Roussin's play is best described as humorous,

but it reaches the funny level on the strength of the performances by Dan Haughey, El izabeth Ewing and Geoffrey Todd. Although Haughey funs into occasional trouble with his lines, he makes a good Henry, a snobbish, hypocritca! fellow who never lets the fact that he is stranded on a desert island interfere with his sense of propriety in sartorial matters. Susan is an equally ridiculous character , and Elizabeth Ewing plays her extremely well with all the necessary pomposity and twittery of the English ruling class.

Haughey and Ewing are good, but it' s Geoffrey Todd who has the juiciest part and it is one that he is particularly adepi at playing. Todd. who is English ancc had his training at the Old Vic in Bristol, is one of this area's best comic actors. He knows how to get the most out of the skimpiest of material and does so in "The Lit\le Hut" as the doltish but lovable Philip.

Mike Longo provides some reasonably good su pport as the stranger. His bits of pantomime work well (he enters dressed as an island native and grunts most of the time he is on stage). but he CQuid stand to even out! his delivery and come up with an accent for his character when he does finally speak. Eighth grader, Kari Flinn makes a brief appearance as a white monkey.

The Island Players production of "The Little Hut" is funny, fast paced, well directed by Robert Miller and the best thing they have done in the two seasons of plays we have seen there.

For information and reservations call 778-5755. The island Players theater is located at the corner of Gulf Drive and Pine Street in Anna Maria. •

The Golden Apple Children's Theatre c

"Just So Stories" Adapted from the writings of Rudyard Klpli 'ng

by Aurand Harris

For the next month or so, area kids will ha've the opportunity to see three of Kipling's Just So ~itories come to life at the Golden Apple Theatre. " Tile Cat Who Walked By Himself," "How the Camel Gal His Hump" and "How the First Letter Was Writteln" are acted out in verse, prose and pantomime by Tony Grimaldi. Jon Bennet, Marla Russel, Sandra Milliner. Tom King and Alison Logan.

The first two stories are about how man domes (icated the animals and the last concerns the beginni ngs of communication through pictures. Along the way 1 there is plenty of humor, action, fanciful costumes and animal masks to keep the kids interested. Tom King as M Ian and Jon Bennet as the cat, camel and strang er aQ particularly funny when they are on stage - w "hich is most of the time. The rest of the cast are also su( :cessfd in amusing their diminutive patrons.

FILMS ,...... "The Awakening"

jUnt .. I>Charlton H eston. Susanah York . - and Sle.rJhanie Zimbalist

** The writers of "The Awakening" seem to have borrowed plot ideas from several of the mummy movies and more recent films such as "The Omen" and

-,p "The Exorcist." Heston plays an archeologist who , discovers the tomb of an unknown queen of Egypt. As it

turns out, this naughty lady is unknown because her subjects wanted to try and forget her. According to the inscriptions on her lomb, she slaughtered her pbaroab father and a few thousands of his faithful followers with the help of supernatural powers.

Just as Chuck is breaking through the burial chamber door. his own wife delivers a stillborn child which miraculously comes to life a few minutes later as the queen's spirit enters the body. The little girl grows up to be Stephanie Zimbalist Jr., and shortly after her 18th birthday, she and Dr. Chuck go back to Egypt to visit the tomb. From that time on, Stephanie doesn't quite feel like her old self anymore and the people around her seem to get into mysterious ao::idents_

Good Tech Qualities, But .. _ The film is well shot by Jack Cardiff. the acting is

reasonably good, and there are a few spooky moments, but overall, "The Awakening" fails to keep the audience awake. There are too many extraneous, ~meaningless shots padding a story which has been done

to death in one form or another. The ending is very sudden and very unsatisfying

because we already know at the beginning of the picture that the old queen was going to take full possession of this new body. To cut the story off at the point of occupation is not anti-climatic, it's pre-climatic and makes the entire film rather pointless. Bayshore Cinema. Sarasota Square R (violence)

Caboblance is a little fishing village on the coast of Peru. It's also a very bad movie.

There are a lot of familiar elements here. The year is il948. Bronson is an American on the lam from a murder rap. He somehow ends up ownin~ a hotel in Caboblance where he is safe as long as he bribes the

Players To Present "'The Philadelphia Story"

The uniquely American sophistication and polished wit which comes with old money on the Main Line is captured in Philip Barry's comedy, "The Philadelphia Story," opening at The Players of Sarasota on Friday, November 7th.

Elizabeth Harrell heads the cast as Tracy Lord, charming, beautiful, aloof and critical of all that isn't perfect. Her first marriage to a likeable but slightly im­perfect member of the social register has failed and she is about to remarry, this time to a self-made stu ffed shirt. On the eve of her wedding, two reporters arrive to cover the big social event for a national magazine and suddenly Tracy finds herself in the enviable position of being adored and pursued by three men; her ex­husband, played by Arthur Glen Hughes, her soon-to­be husband, played by Jonathan Michaelsen and a very ~milten reporter, played by Rob Ferguson. Her only problem is which one to choose.

.. In supporting roles are Bill Snow as Uncle Willie, and J,.panna Brown and Dave Kilburn as the parents of the bride. Paula Begres and Jimmy Mullen porlray Tracy's

j'oungelf1Ster and brother and Nancy Delong is -reature&~ female reporter. Also appearing are John Marmaro, Tracy Boudreau a nd Eggmund Sinclair as the Lords' servants.

Ruby Allen of the Asolo Theater is guest director for this production which features the set designs of Peter Strader and costume supervision by Helen Harwood .

"The Philadelphia Story" will run from November 7th through November 16th with curtain time at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2:30 p.m. for Sun­

local police official, played by Claude Rains - excuse me - wrong movie - Fernando Rey. Enter the beautiful woman (Sanda) looking for her lover, who was murder­ed by a rich fugjtive Nazi (Robards) who lives in a big hOuse on the hill.

AU of these people are looking for a sunken ship laden with loot stolen from Hitler's victims. It seems that Sanda's boyfriend double-crossed Robards by scuttling the boat at a location other than the one that was planned . Robards must figure out who lover boy gave the proper coordinates to so he can have the fun of extracting the information from them.

Another Marathon Man this ain't, but whatever merit the story may have had is lost by J . Lee Thompson's terrible direction. The camera is constantly moving in unnecessary pans and zooms that are so annoying, it is sometimes difficult to watch the proceedings without feeling a bit dizzy. Thompson is abo unable to build up even a reasonable fascimile of the suspense he created in "The Guns of Navarone."

What's worse, some very good actors come off looking very bad . Bronson and Robards sleepwalk through the entire film, Rey has little to do but playa simpler version of Louie from "Casablance," while Sanda apparently was asked to do a Lauren Bacall impersonation .

The combination of a dull script, poor direction and bored acting come together to produce a disjointed, uninspired movie that isn't worth the matinee discount price. Avoid this one.

"Loving Couples Shirley MacLaine, Charles Coburn, Susan

Sarandon and Stephen Collins Directed by Jack Smlght-

What we have here is Walter and Evelyn and Greg and Stephanie. Walter is a doctor, his wife Evelyn is a doctor; Greg is a real estate salesman and his live-in girlfriend, Stephanie, is a TV weather girl. They all live tn southern California, they are all success ful, they are all good looking. they aU end up in each other's beds. And the movie is just as monotonous and predictable.

Through slightly different circumstances, Walter and comDanv take the Dremise of "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice" a step further. They swap mates, not in a manage-a-quatre situation. but with knowledge and forethought on the part of aU concerned.

The acting, directing and production values are all good, if uninspired. There is just nothing new or different about "Loving Couples." If you are in the mood for a glossy romantic-comedy, see "It's My Turn" instead.

Dining Out By Kevin Dean

The Pier One of Bradenton's more elegant restaurants was

once used as a warehouse for beats that traveled along the Manatee River. The old structure has been hand­somely renovated and now contains The Pier, with its twO dining rooms, lounge, second floor banquet room; and a radio station.

We've eaten dinner at The Pier on a couple of occa­sions and found the food quite satisfying. This time out Kipling and I decided to try the lunch menu, which seems to attract a sizable business crowd each day.

The lunch menu offers such entrees as top sirloin steak, fried shrimp, crab legs, shish kabob, boneless breast of chicken, grouper and crab cakes. For lighter lunches you can choose from a list of soups, salads and a variety of sandwiches including a Reuben, ham­burgers, grilled ham and Swiss cheese, patty melts, corn beef and a steak sandwich . There are also several ap­petizers' and daily specials to choose from. The prices range from $7.95 for the top si rloin to $3.35 for a ham­burger (all the sandwiches come wi th a salad).

Since we happened to go on Halloween, all of the waitresses were in costume. It ' s a bit distracting to order lunch from a woman with a giant inflatable spider on her head. Anyway. Kipling had "The Pier Salad" and was Quite pleased wi th it, although some of the lettuce was a bit limp and brown al the edges. The house dress­ing was very good.

The hamburgers that were passing by the table looked and smelled delicious, but I opted for the pork chop with dressi ng and wasn't disappointed that I diet. The chop was very tasty and was covered with a equally tasty gravy. On the side was a more than generous helping of an excellent dressing that was moist and nicely sea­soned. The meals were accompanied by a hot loaf of bread. tlte

On the whole, I'd say that the food at The Pier is very good - not spectacular, but I' ve never been dissatisfied. On the day we went, the service was efficient and reasonably fast, but several people have told me it is sometimes very slow. Kipling once spent an hour and a half between the time she was seated and finally paid the check. Perhaps the new. manager has solved whatever the problem was.

'" A sailor ventured a gripe in response to my last column about sailboats at gas docks. M.S. writes, .. Do all sailboats gel the brush-off at marina gas docks, or is it only me? It is disconceniflg to.get a ll of nine gallons right after a power boat rings up 250 gallons but what can we do?"

We find that marinas usually treat us very well. But do remember that sail boats are nOI high profit customers and if you are using dock space, maybe a big power boat will have to go on. Naturally, you don't complain about the 40 or 65 cems a foot for dockage, pay compliments and thank the personnel. Or better yet , quickly deposit your week's garbage while the nine gallons are being pumped in. Then leave and anchor ou(.

Sun Coast Yacht Club We have in our vicinity four yacht clubs and three

sailing cl ubs t~at I know of. Since I am interested in when and how they came into being, I am going to tell you about them all in the. next few weeks.

I will start with one of the newer ones, the Sun Coast Yacht C lub. It was started in 1973 by a group of San Juan 21 sailors engaged in informal racing on the bay and based at Longboat Marina. Later that year, a number of other 20 to 22 foot boats joined the activity.

In 1974, the flee t was given a chaner as the San Juan Fleet 9 with non-San Juan Boats as associates. Monthly meetings were held in homes of the members and races were held on a lternate Saturdays a nd Sundays.

Hosting the Eastern Mid-Winter San Juan Regatta in 1975 led to similar regattas in subsequent years.

T he name Sun Coast Yacht C lub was adopted in 1978. Bob Guernsey was Commodore and helped write the new by-laws.

Today the club continues its activities with four annual race series of eight races each held on Sundays in Sarasota Bay. Monthly cruising and social events have been added to the agenda. M~mbefsh ip now totals 110 members with over 50

boats varying in size from 18 to 37 feet. It is a

Bayside appraisal: $9 1,493 per acre or $56,551 per unit

Whal Mr. Ansel proposes is to donate the Bayside land (valued at $5,608,500) to the Town of Longboat Key in return for which he wou ld like to be able to transfer 75 units valued at $56.55 1 each (a total of $4,241,325) to his property on the Gulf.

The end result would be that Ansel would be able to increase the density on his Gulf land by 75 units and the Town would take tit le to land worth $5,608,500. •

At Founders Day Dinner It was a nostalgic· evening last Friday night as Mayor

Ken McCall and Kiwanis president George Paules an­nounced awards to cleven "outstanding citizens" of Longboat, some deceased. The recipients. or their re­presentatives. were each given a framed portfolio. On one side, the messages read:

" In Appreciation for sigQificant contributions to the development of Longboat as "The Key To Happiness -For All To Enjoy." The citizens of Longboat Key

"Zeke" Epstein E.S. Epstein, better known to his many friends as

"Zeke". was a salesman, par excellence. Beware to the man who might Iry to obstruct his zeal for successfuJ completion of a community project that caught his fancy!

Starting in 1967 he became almost a daily visitor to Town Hall of Longboat Key engaging everyone in his pet project to establish a bicycle path the entire length of Longboat Key. The obstacles seemed to be endless, but our recipient never gave up hope for success. Though himself being an amputee, he would never have the opportunity to use this path.

Finally the bike path came into being in 1978 after.ten long years' of cajoling by Zeke and today it is recogniz­ed as "the concrete ribbon that binds together the key to happiness, ' ,

But he is also recognized for a full lifetime of service to his fellow man. His extra cu rricular activities could fill a book. Here are just a few of them: chairman of a committee that raised 510,000 for EKG monitoring equipment for Longboat Key's ambulances', a persis­tent salesman of FAME poinsettias for the benefit of dependent ch ildren at Christmas time, an ardent worker on behalf of improvements in the local fire, ambulance and police departments, and a devoted Kiwanian, actively pursuing community improvements.

Although Zeke Epstein died in 1979, his good deeds on behalf of his beloved Town of Longboat Key will be remembered by many generations to come.

hereby pay tnbute to (name). 1 DIS name nas DeCn per­manently inscribed on the tablet of honor in Bicenten­nial Park on Longboat Key, Florida. In recognition of these outstanding accomplishments fo r the betterment of this community, the Commissioners of Longboat Key hereby acknowledge this honor . In the Town of Longboat Key, the County of Sarasota, in the State of Florida, on this thirty fi rst day of October, 1980. 1. Kennedy McCall, Mayor."

The other side detailed the accomplishments of the person selected by a secret comminee and are reproduc­ed in full as follows:

Herb Field Herbert P. Field first came to Longboat Key in 1949

from northern Wisconsin, where he was in the resort business. He quickly recognized the opportunities Long­boat Key would have to serve the public as a vacation retreat.

Over a period of years he developed the Colony Beach Club, Far Horizons, Sea Horse Beach and Yacht Club, Sea $cape and the Buccaneer Inn, all well known havens for tourists. vacationers and retirees.

During the thirty one years he has been here, he has actively participated in government, including helping to found the Incorporated Town of Longboat Key in 1955, serving as a Sarasota County Commissioner from the district that included Longboat Key, serving as chairman for six of the eight years he was on the Sara­sota County Board of Public Instruction and serving on the Longboat Key Town Commission. While on the Planning Board he proposed that no building on Long­boat should be taller than the tallest palm tree. The mO!ion was defeated 15 to 11

Herb Field early recognized that Longboat Key, being scarcely popu lated a"d laying in two separate counties. would be given little consideration for orderly develop­ment unless it set up its own independent government, public safety facilities and a good planning and zoning funo:tion. He did much to bring these functions into be­ing.

We salute Herb Field as one of Longboat's great developers, organizers, and pioneers.

Helen Holt Helen M. Holt started coming to Longboat Key in the

nineteen thirties on winter visits and finally decided to stay year round in 1946. The house in which she lives is one of the oldest on the island, having been built in 1914.

There is hardly a commu nity service in which Helen has not participated. She is a past president of the Chamber of Commerce and served as its secretary for fifteen years. As one of the founding members of the Longboat Island Chapel, she served as a lay minister, superintendent of the Sunday School , and teacher of the adult Bible Class.

She was the first person to canvass Longboat Key for the Community Chest and United Way. R~ognizing that Longboat Key had no veterans memorial, in 1965, with Dr. Olah Marsh, they established a Memorial Gar­den at the Post Office and conducted Memorial Day services for ten years, for which she received a Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge Award for patriotic endea­vors.

In 1976, she was named Citizen of the Year by the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota Keys for her part in direct­ing the Bicentennial Celebration on Longboat Key. And she continues to serve her community on the Twenty­fifth Anniversary Committee.

She has played leadership roles in th~ Sarasota Chap­ter O.E.S., P.K.C.O. Samoor Caldron, Gulfcoast Parliamentarians. Board of Directors of the Players for twenty-five years and the D.A.R.

She has served Longboat Key well as its Postmaster since 1962. , . l!~lep iIqlt !(V.I,;(. pa§. l t;a r.fl~9 , ~Il~ }pec~al _.r~ognitjon being given her by a grateful commltlJilYI t i c I of ~ 1 i 1

Homer Greer Homer Greer and his wife Mary made several

vacation trips to Longboat Key in the early sixties. Soon~ they were in love with this beautiful unspoiled island ...... and bought land on North Shore Road and constructed a home just south of Beer Can Island.

Homer has been a devoted conservationist all his life. For eighteen years he owned and operated tt.e wild acres hunt farm consisting of 600 acres where he raised and released pheasants for hunting, and learned to appre­ci~te the protection of virgin land.

Some years ago one person claimed title to Beer Can Island because of accretion. With the help of then Long­boat Key Mayor, Sam Gibbon. some funds were raised, an attorney was engaged and after many trips to Talla­hassee the State Cabinet arranged for the State of Florida to deed 12.2 acres of land on Beer Can Island to Manatee County, provided that the land would per­manendy remain in its natural state with no construc­tion of any kind. For this reason, Homer Greer is now known as the "Father of Beer Can Island!"

He also has actively led actions to protect the sources of water for Longboat Key which comes from rivers eas'c of Bradenton.

For these efforts on a volunteer basis, we salute Homer Greer.

•• " ..... "1:1" Wilfred A. LePage came to Longboat Key in 1949

from Massachusetts where he was an electrical engineer for General Electric Company. The spell that was to overcome many in subsequent years caught ahold 01.. Wilfred and he cast his fortunes with others on Longboat Key.

He owned and operated a number of cottages foY vacationers and practiced the electrical t~ade_. ::.

In 1955 he was elected the first ma~Longboat Key and had the unique distinction ot~g the first:: Republican Mayor in the south, since the days of recon'=" struction. Subsequently the Mayor was elected by the Commissioners so he has the distinction of being the only mayor elected by the people.

He was an ardent supporter of voluntary organiza­tions and raised funds for the Island Chapel and aided the fire fighters and the Red Cross. His lovely wife, Dorothy was equally as energetic in the suppon of these organizations.

Wilfred LePage served Longboat Key well until he moved 10 the mai"nland in 1972. He died in 1979, but will long be remembered by the citizens of this area.

Ansel McMichen Ansel M. McMichen and his lovely wife, Hazel first

came from Tampa to Longboat Key in 1947, he to do some construction work. They became enamored with the li festyle on the Island and Quickly decided to stay.

Ansel well remembers those early years when no funds were available for improving the island and the first citizens Quickly learned that progress would depend on each volunteering to do something for the good of all. It was this cooperative spirit that became the ribbon to bind these people together so that real progress would be accomplished.

Ansel McMichen was an outstanding leader for the good of the community. After a serious fire destroyed a number of cottages, the following morning the first Volunteer Fire Department was created in his kitchen and he became its chief, a title he retained for ten exciting years. During that time equipment was obtained, the north end fire station was constructed and volumeer crews were professionally trained. His wife , Hazel, led the ladies auxiliary who worked tirelessly to put on bar-be-cues, cake sales, and other drives to raise funds for the Volunteer Fire Department.

Ansel was actively involved in the construction of the Art Center, the City Dock, Island Chapel and the Child­ren's Playground al the Village School House. He serv­ed on the Volunteer Police Patrol, standing watch dur­ing hurricanes and subsequent clean-up details, worked with Mosquito Comrol, the budding library and the Chamber of Commerce.

There is hardly a facet of the early days of Longboat Key that Ansel McMichen did not comribute his brawn, his brains and his funds to. In addition he has carried a successful construction business on Longboat.

The grateful citizens of Longboat Key proudly say thanks to Ansel McMichen by placing his name on the tablel of honor.

Guy Paschal Guy S. Paschal first came to Longboat Key in 1949,

moving here from Bee Ridge. His name is almost &ynonymous with Longboat Key because our history indicates his active participation in every worthwhile activity.

His varied background of education and experience prepared him well for his creative work on behalf of the embryo island community of Longboat Key. His educa­tion spanned both the USA and England during which he secured both an Engineering and law Degree.

His sparkling career induded serving as a ranch hand, deck hand, strike brea ker, lawyer, aviation entrepeneur, travel agent, inventor of Air Wick , and other products, chemist, farmer, newspaper editor and publisher, radio and tv talk show MC and author.

Upon arrival on Longboat Key he Qu ickly involved himself in these community activities: president Long­boat Key Civic Club, Chairman Longboat Key Incor­poration Committee, one of the founders of the volun­teer fire department, Director of the Longboat Youth program, co-fou nder of Longboat Island Chapel, founder of the Longboat Chamber of Commerce, and in recognition of his many talented services he was nam­ed Longboat Key's on ly lifetime Honorary Mayor in 1955. He started publishing the Longboat Lookout in 1956, continuing it until 1961 . ,

In addition to all the above services, to Longboat Key, he was active in leadership roles in Sarasota with the Humane Society, Red Cross, Arts Council, Van Wezel Performing ArtS Hall, Civic Ballet and Com­munity Action Committee.

Guy S. Paschal will always have an important page in the history and development of Longboat Key, and the citizens of this community are pleased to have his name recorded for posterity on the Tablet of Honor.

John Siegel John P. Siegel commenced his assignment to develop

the landholdings of Arvida Corporation on Longboat Key in 1964. Upon graduation from the University of Miami where he distinguished himself in scholarsh ip and football , he started with General Development Corporation of Florida 's east coast and served for four years as Mayor of Port S1. Lucie and president of St. Lucie County Industrial Development Council.

While serving as vice president and general manager of the Sarasota Division of Arvida he directed the corporate activities leading to construction of the beauti­ful Longboat Key Beach Club, the beaUliful executi ve office building of Arvida at the town's southern entrance . The installation of attractive entrance ways to all Arvida projects, the construction of Longboat Key Towers, the most prestigious condominium on Florida's west coaSl, the upgrading of the golf course to championship condition, the erection of a magnificent clubhouse, the establishment of a fine tennis club, the development of Sea Place and Beach Place, planning for an outstanding hotel resort.

The development of Bay Isles as one of Florida's finest waterfront communities. the planniOlZ and initial construction of Bay Isles Civic-Commercial center, including establishment of sites for the Town Hall, Banks, Library and eventuall.y churches, professional offices and leading retail stores. Also of significant importance to Longboat Key was the developmem of bicycle paths throughout Arvida projects and an underpass to the beach area to reduce auto traffic.

John has been an active panicipant in the community li fe of Longboat Key and arranged for Arvida to become involved in the Youth Center and other agencies and has sponsored for twelve years the annual juried show at the Art Center.

The accomplishments of John A. Siegel are evident the length and breadth of this island and he has played a major role in establishing this island's life style for

Howard Rldyard Howard A. Rid yard vacationed on Longboat Key in

1945 and 1946 and became so enamored with this Island that he closed up his plumbing and heating business in New England and moved here to pursue his profession.

He started his involvement in local affairs by being a charter member of the Art Center and contributed the plumbing of its first buildings. Similarly he was a co­founder and member of the building committee of the Island Chapel, as well as a charter and lifetime member of the Longboat Key Fire Department.

In addition to these community activities, he early on took an interest in governmental affairs of the fledgling island village. He was a member of the zoning com­mittee that applied zoning to the Manatee part of long­boat Key under a state enabling act of 1953. He served on the committee to bring about Incorporation of Long­boat Key in 1955 and was president of the first town cou ncil.

Howard has served on the Town Commission longer than any other member, for the Quarter cemury from 1955 to 1980. During that time he was Mayor 3 years, vice-mayor 5 years, and served on the zoning, finance, road , investment and building commillees. He was instrumental in acquiring land for Town Hall and the library and was actively involved in the installation of the water and sewer system on Longboat Key.

Howard A. Ridyard will go down in history as truly one of Longboat 's most dedicated pioneers and the citizens proudly place his name on the Tablet of Honor.

Gordon Whitney Gordon Whitney journeyed to Florida in 1935, in the

heart of the depression, seeking a challenging career . He stayed at a beach north of Tampa Bay and noted the lack of ramily type cottage facilities for northern vaca­tioners.

He immediately embarked on a search for suitable property to develop and after combing the entire west coast he acquired the land now known as Whitney Beach and immediately started construction of his cottages, with the first ready for occupancy by Decem­ber of that year. They were an instant success and at­tracted many of the first occupants to acquire land and build homes on Lon.Rboat Kev.

Eleven Citizens _ . _ . _ .... (Continued from page 25)

In 1940 he had Bishops Bayou dredged which made many beautiful waterfront lots become available in the highest zoning category at that time. Because of his interest in maintaining a high degree of zoning protec­tion, he was appointed by the Governor to serve as the first chairman of the Manatee County Board of Adjust­ment.

Gordon actively assisted in launching the Youth Center, the Longboat League, the Art Center, the In­corporation of Longboat Key, served on the first town council and various town committees. He brought the first telephone on to Longboat from Bradenton and helped set up the first restaurant.

With ~is lovely wife, Lora, always at his side, and equally Involved in the development activities of her husband, we salute Gordon and proudly place his name in perpetuity on the tablet of honor.

Grace Yerkes Grace B. Yerkes had a far·seeing, far-reaching idea in

early 1952 and through her inspiring leadership and en­thusiasm others were spurred on to help her carry her idea to completion in a miraculously brief period of

THt:! LONGBOAT OBSERVt:!R

time. On December 3, 1952, just nine months after the idea sprung from the mind of Grace Yerkes', the doors of the Longboat Key Art Cen ter opened for a gala instructors' show and an exhibit by local artists!

No function was created in Longboat Keys early days to unify the five hundred residents then living here, ninety seven of whom joined the Art Center, as the exciting project did.

Grace Yerkes and her husband resided in New Jersey where they knew Gordon and Lora Whitney who excited them about Longboat Key. They vacationed on Whitney Beach and eventually moved here.

Although the idea of the Art Center is fully attributed to Grace Yerkes, her organizing ability to bring it into being was her greatest talent. She was the spark plug that enticed Gordon Whitney into donating the land, Werner Kannenberg to serve as architect without fee, Carl Schuneman to organize a fund raising campaign, Lora Whitney to serve as first president, clearing of the land by Neil Virgy. carpentry by Ansel McMichen, plumbing by Howard Ridyard and wiring by Will LePage. And many other hands helped in many ways.

The citizens of Longboat Key proudly place the name of Grace B. Yerkes on the tablet of honor in recogni· tion of her significant role in the early days of develop· mentofthis Key. •

Industry Courted I was part of a team invited to Cullman . The town

fathe rs were most anxious to attract industry. They had prepared a labor survey which indicated there would be sufficient help. They were prepared to construct a building with minimal amortization and the banks were willing to extend favorable interest rates. Tt:'Jown excused taxes on the property for ten years " the power company indicated that it would exteh1Jvery favorable rates fo r the power required. The Town Commission was well prepared, sincere and enthusiastic. Contracts were drawn up and within six months the factory operated at full capacity.

Town Transformed Unless one sees a transformation that can come over a

town with a payroll for 400 people, this may be read with disbelief, for it was as if a magic wand had been waved over Cullman. Motels had sprung up on the outskirts. Where there was one drug store, there were now four. Where there was one beauty parlor, there were now 12. Other stores thrived and Cullman became literally the Magic Kingdom of Alabama. Once one industry was attracted, others followed. The power company benefitted with its reduced rates by now supplying electricity for all the washers, dryers a'nd stoves that were installed by people who could not heretofore afford them. Local real estate taxes were raised and the residents and store owners could afford to pay the increased rates. The banks benefitted by ' tremendously increased deposits. But. most important,

. people who were unproductive, who had no place to go and nothing to do were gainfully employed and could afford the amenities of life which they never before envisioned. It became a happy city and a city in which' all the residents rightfully took a feeling of pride and even I. despite the very small part that I played in the revitalization of Cullman, derived a very comfortable feeling. As will all of you who voted in favor of Amendment 113. In fi ve years when the full effect of this is felt throughout Florida, it is conceivable that with even the increased cost of government, the sales tax and personal property tax may be reduced. •

. . industry uses petroleum-based feedstocks to make its products, but. since it only requires 1.5 percent of the oil and natural gas used daily in the U.S., it has apparently received a low priority from the bureaucratic masterminds. "

DOE employs 20,000 people and spends $12 billion a year as it attempts to control what ought to be a free market. But in the history of mankind there has never been a bureaucracy that could allocate scarce resources better than the market itself. Nevertheless, Washington insists on trying, and, in the process, creates the potential for disaster which now faces the plastics industry.

Borg-Warner Chemicals is one of the companies spending valuable corporate time trying to publicize and rectify the situation. In Boston this week, Jack Shafer; the company's chairman, wryly commented on the DOE. "It takes my company 100 years to make $12 billion, and that's what they spend in one year in Washington. Incidental1y, we have twice as many people as the DOE, and it takes all of us to make what they can spend in one year - rather interesting, isn' t it?"

It sure is, particularly when all those government energy people are overlooking a vital energy fact about the plastics industry .

Plastics save more energy than is required to make an entire year's production ofthese versati le materials.

In study after study it has been demonstrated that plastics save energy in all phases of their life cycle. Less energy is required to produce them than alternate material s. Lightweight plastics save energy in

applications such as automobile design and manufacturing, and several types of plastic insulation used in everything from refrigerators to homes also save more energy than they consume.

Final1y, as a last service, plastic can return the original energy it costs by being burned when its service li fe is over.

Looking to the future, past experience proves that opportunities wil1 be found .for even greater energy .savings as new markets and applications are discovered.

The discovery of celluloid in 1868 ushered in the plastics age, and the progress since then would probably amaze even Wesley Hyatt - the man who made that discovery.

By ignoring the plastics industry in its emergency allocation plans, DOE is exhibiting a short-sightedness which stands in sharp contrast to the far-sighted creativeness of the plastics industry. We probably should have come to expect that from economy­tinkering bureaucrats by now, but it would be like compounding a felony to let this ludicrous situation pass without comment.

it would almost be worth the $12 billion DOE costs, if they could only be convinced to stop meddling, do nothing, and let the free market work instead.

Ask the Skipper

by Jack B.~~~:':~

A few weeks ago, we reviewed some of avaiL,ble II statistics on boating accidents and fatalities mentioned that we would enlarge upon the subject wrlenll we received a complete review from the U.S. Guard. We have now received the complete review 1979. as well as comparisons fo r each year, 1961-1 as compiled by the Coast Guard. "Safe Boating is Accident" has been the theme for Sarasota Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary for a long time now and both of these organizations. the Florida Marine Patrol and the local law enforcement agencies, have done their part to assist boaters become safer boat operators.

Dangerous Trend In 1961, there were an estimated 5.85 million boaters

in the United States and the fatalities were 20.8 per 100,000 boats. In I96S, 1966, and 1971, more than 20 fatalities per 100.000 vessels occurred. Alarmed over the trend, the Congress in 1971 passed the Federal Boat Safety Act. Space doesn' t permit a complete review of this Act but it is up to every boat owner to become familiar with the requirements and regulations. In their courses for the public, Sarasota Power Squadron and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary review the requirements and the Coast Guard Auxiliary provide Counesy Marine Examinations without charge.

If your boat measures up to the Coast Guard requiremen ts, the owner receives a decal indicating that his vessel complies. If your vessel does not measure up, there is no report made of it and a second examination will be made after the owner has taken steps to comply. There is no obligation to the boat owner to have his vessel examined. but it is perhaps the best way to determine if the boat measures up to the law.

Fewer Fatalities By 1979, the est imated number of boats reached 14.S million and fatalities had dropped to 9.4 per 100,000 boats. In Florida, the estimated number of boats topped 480,000 in 1979 and there were 83 fatalities and a total of.508 accidents. The total number of accidents was 620 five years ago in Florida and th is figure dropped to the above mentioned 508 in 1979.

Progess Made But enough statistics. The point is that progress has

been made and that all boat owners should give serious consideration to taking a Power Squadron or Auxiliary course and to have an Auxiliarist examine your vessel. Boating is a great spon and it can be much more enjoyable if the Sk ipper knows he has a safe boat and the skill necessary for sa fe boating. •

You've been experiencing a variety of weather lately! For the most part last week, unseasonably warm condi­tions prevailed as moist tropical air was supplied by southerly breezes. This also brought increasing cloudiness, increased chances for showers. and fog.

Meanwhile, unseasonably cold air was being pushed southward through the nation. Snow was making ap­pearances throughout much of the north as ther· mometers dropped and winds picked up.

Rod Tldo To many of us, this past season was known as "The

Summer of the Red Tide". Both coasts of the U.S. were plagued with this periodic bloom of phytoplankton that turns seawater red. The Florida red tide organism is only one-thousandth of an inch in diameter. In case you're wondering about any connection between this phenomenon and pollution. remember, pollution is con­tinuous; Red Tide is sporadic. The answer is. "none" ..

Can Red Tide be Eliminated? The first red tide was reported as early as 1844 and

may be present in an area as great as 14.000 square miles, but treatment or control is impossible. COllcen­trations are usually first detected 10 to 40 miles offshore and are blown in. We all know that it causes respiratory problems in some but there is nothing harn~.ful to the swimmer in Tide concentration. And fish that are lively to take a lure or a bait can be
