The volunteer Hammerheads, led by Dean and this weekend, July 1st-4th in TSkaugstad, have been replacing the walkways and handicap ramps with the addition to the best selection of more durable Trex boards. seafood on the islands I’ll give you The city recently power-washed the Old Bailey General Store and the Rutland House and gave the outside of the School House for White Children a new coat of paint. “Spirit of ’76 Dinners” Sun and rain take their toll each season and the buildings and grounds must be featuring maintained on a regular basis. Gordon Kraft, who works in the Sanibel Public Works Department, is at the village regularly and helps to keep the buildings, built in the SHRIMPFEST 1890s through the 1920s, in good condition and the grounds cleared of debris and neatly trimmed. Kraft also regularly clears the pathways of raccoon droppings. The www.prawnbroker.com vegetables and fruit grown in the village’s Heritage Garden attracts the critters. They especially enjoy the ripening mangoes and leave their left-overs on the pathways. As Kraft says, “It’s all part of the charm of the Village.” While life slows down at the historical village in June and July, many visitors are taking a time-out from a sun and surf holiday to take a leisurely step back in time and get a sense of the way life was on Sanibel long before the causeway brought hordes of tourists. Children, in particular, find the old typewriters, wall telephones and the 1930’s era goods sold in the Old Bailey Store most interesting. Their parents enjoy a ”trip down memory lane.” The Museum Gift Shop is open and sells a unique mix of gifts and history-related items, all made in America and reasonably priced. The Sanibel Historical Museum and Village is open on Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Docents are available to tell some Sanibel stories and share their knowledge about the seven historic buildings on the grounds.

Ackley to score from third base with the winning run. McKeon was summoned to take charge of the Marlins on June 20 after they had Jack McKeon gone 1-19 in an historic collapse. Just 20 days previously, they began the month nine “I have never had it happen to me in all games over .500 (31-22). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no team had ever my years, McKeon said. racked up a 1-19 record after being nine games over .500. This bizarre blunder is emblematic of the Marlins June woes. You’ve got to wonder why McKeon would agree to walk into the Marlins mess at his age? The answer is probably a mixture of the following: He knew the players as he was on the Marlins payroll as a consultant. He was available immediately and because he has no long-term aspirations for the job, he wasn’t concerned about front-office politics. Finally, despite his age, McKeon has the reputation as a taskmaster who demands that his players play hard and intelligent baseball. It appears that Cishek hadn’t got that message last Sunday. Not a single player on the current Marlins roster had even been born when McKeon landed his first job as manager with the Kansas City Royals in 1973. In fact, his span from that job to this recent stint with the Marlins – 38 years – has been exceeded by only Connie Mack who lasted 56 years because he also owned the Philadelphia Athletics. If you want to witness baseball history in the making, drive over to South Beach and watch the 80-year-old McKeon manage the Marlins. The way they are playing, you sure won’t have trouble getting a ticket. Miracle Sponsor Two Big Fireworks Shows This Weekend Perhaps two big fireworks extravaganzas tonight, Friday, and Sunday night will serve to snap the season’s second-half losing start for the Fort Myers Miracle baseball team. After finishing the first-half with a 34-36 record and a second place standing in the Florida State League South Division, the Miracle began the second-half losing four straight. The Miracle hosts the St. Lucie Mets tonight at 7:05 p.m. with the fireworks show to follow the game. St. Lucie was the South Division first-half champions. Charlotte provides the opposition Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday game has a 6:05 p.m. start and Sunday, 7:05 p.m. again followed by fireworks.

The show will be a major draw for tourists and island- ers. The fireworks will begin at dusk, launched from Bailey Road on the bay side. “It wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without fireworks,” said Coffee Bar Manager Quinton Foshee. This is the second year the Coffee Bar has been open for the 4th of July, and the second year featuring the Red, White and Jeret Foshee, left, and Manager and Quinton Foshee of Berry Smoothie to celebrate the Coffee Bar@ Bailey’s the holiday.
