PROPOSED DARK SKIES ORDINANCE IS A VIOLATION OF RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS BASIC RIGHTS!

In Violation Almost every resident and business owner will be in violation if this ordinance is passed and will have only 30 days to comply. The costs to you could be astronomical

Safety Risk of injury and liability will be greatly increased with the passing of this ordinance. Who will be liable for accidents due to less lighting?

Security With the recent increase in crime on Sanibel a reduction of lighting will result in a greater loss of security to residents and businesses.

Basic Rights Dictating the light source and intensity within a private residence is an infringement on resident property owner's most basic rights. Are you prepared to have a code enforcement officer in your yard at night with a light meter? The new lighting ordinance is overkill — we already have a very restrictive lighting and sign ordinance on the books passed in 1993.

Protect your rights by attending the Planning Commission Meeting, Tuesday, May 11

Sanibel every May In her third year as event organizer Janet McBee said, and never miss a "We give 50 percent of the food sales to the restaurants Taste of the Islands. and then we have other expenses, so we should have the final numbers next week." As an end-of-the-season celebration, participating restaurants in the Taste also earned bragging rights to awards given by a panel of judges and the people who attended. This year the Taste of the Taste award, which is deter- mined by the judges for the best overall food item, went to the Thistle Lodge at Casa Ybel for its barbecue shrimp, a regular menu item at the restaurant. After only three , months as restaurant and catering director at the Thistle, Martin Ycaza said, "It feels great to win the award. We have a whole new management (Coral Beach & Resorts with Al Wibbels proprietor of Casa Ybel) and a new chef, Jarred Harris, We all worked hard for it. "Everything was for a good cause and in return we received this nice award. I want to say thank you to every- one for voting for us. All the restaurants are winners because they worked hard to put their booths together." The People's Choice Award went to the Lazy Flamingo AT LEFT: Lisa Givler for its mesquite shrimp and blackened shrimp. feeds her husband Lazy Flamingo owner Larry Thompson said, "We use Randy some of the those two as board specials and, not to take away from the Bubble Room's shrimp, I think the vote was for the restaurant from our famous red velvet regulars and patrons. We've won the People's Choice cake. award seven of the last nine years. It was a great Taste this year; everything went well." In its first year of operation Traders Store & Cafe won in two of the "best of categories — Best Meat for its bar- becue ribs and Best Dessert for its lemon cake. Traders dining room manager Mike Schwartz said, "We had 600 pounds of ribs there that day. We're working on our summer menu right now and with their popularity,- we'll want to keep them on as a regular special. We were obviously ecstatic to win in two categories. Things are going so well with our culinary team. They've had a fol- lowing over the years at previous places and word of mouth really has carried us over." McBee noted the highlight of the day was the increase in the money raised for CROW to continue its work in rehabilitation of wildlife for return to native habitats. Last year, the event netted $35,000 and organizers feel confi- dent there will be a considerable increase this year because of the rise in the number of people who attended and the postcard-perfect weather. McBee estimated the crowd was up at least 1,000 people over last year's 4,000. McBee said, "We had more people than last year. It was just an amazing crowd this year ... less rowdy than other years. And those of us on cleanup Monday felt they really cleaned up after themselves. We had put up cigarette buck- ets and they even used those!
