o sea turtles m 33

By Steve Ruediger Islander staff writer This year there were 73 sea turtle nests on Captiva. This is "clearly an overall increase far above historical levels," Charles LeBuff of Caretta Research told the annual meeting of the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association lastWednesday, Sept. 12. LeBuff credited the beach renourishment project with making Captiva a better place for sea turtles and the » erosion on northern Sanibel with causing sea turtles to switch to Captiva for egg laying. However* LeBuff did find three faults, with Captiva's beaches. The first is that rather than removing tons or rip- rap oh the beache; the project buried it. As a result, when Charles LeBuff addressing the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association. a sea turtle digs .o make a nest it sometimes runs into rocks and abandons the nesting attempt. This is one reason the number of false crawls this year - 85— exceeded the number of nests actually laid. The second fault is that Australian pine seedlings are germinating in large numbers and could crowd out other vegetation. Sea turtles can't dig nests through Australian pine root systems. OF THE M* The third problem is that although Lee County has an ordinance banning lighting on the beach, such lighting is still a problem. Hatchlings are attracted to the light rather than to the sea and end up dead on dry land. LeBuff said that has happened twice this year and bom times it was E K caused by the lights in the same single family residence. Caretta Research had monitored nestings at South Seas Plantation over a number of years and the number ofinests there has usually been in the midr20's. This year was typical with 25. Caretta has not normally monitored the island as a whole. However, it did monitor it in 1988 and found 44 nests and 67 false crawls. LeBuff said the labeling of turtles in the past documented that turtles that used to lay eggs on northern Sanibel are now making nests on Captiva.

FINEST 1523 Periwinkle Way Sanibel 472-3161 "Home of Seafood Republic of Algiers " rv-j Tuesday, Sept. 18, 1990 Cityside 11A Curbside recycling to begin in January By Frances Adams Islander staff writer New Year's Day 1991 will begin a new era for Sanibel -- that of curbside recycling. The City Council Sept 4 heard a report from Bill Mills, assistant to the city manager, and agreed with him that after a year of Sanibel residents actively using the island's drop-off recycling facilities, the community is ready and willing to participate in a curbside recycling program. The i'X>PLASTIC '^ft council gave the go-ahead to City Manager Gary Price to begin the negotiation process with Browning-Ferris Industries. The city's franchise agreement with BFI requires that the trash disposal company be given the first opportunity to come up with a program. If no settlement can be reached within 60 days, the city can then shop around for another contractor. As it stands, BFI has tentatively agreed to structure a program as outlined to the City Council. Since Lee County began collecting a recycling surcharge on solid waste at the landfill in October 1989, the city has received approximately $3,600 per month as its share of the fee. According to a staff report from Price, the city has to date collected almost $33,000 in this fund. The county also is proposing to raise this surcharge beginning in October 1990 by almost 50 percent, which would yield approximately $5,500 per month to be used for recycling programs.

What I did on my summer vacation...' Land-locked on Samoa, McPhees say goodbye to friends and plan next leg of journey *.'

By Scott McPhee ;. • ?•: Special to the Islander Hello from American Samoa! Since we're still land-locked and I don't have any sea stories, I thought I could tell you about life, on Samoa. First, I should talk about everyone who has sailed on toward the sunset. Our friends, Jose and Erica, aboard the Patagonia from Chile, have sailed on to Australia. Erica, who was raised in the land "down under," told us in Aussie language, "Jose knocked the cocky off its perch, mate!" To interpret in English, she's pregnant and due in March. We spoke with them on the ham radio after they left. Erica told us being pregnant gives new meaning to the term "sea sick." The next to sail out were our favorite communists Gretchen and Scott McPhee with Rainmaker'Mountain in the background. from Bulgaria, Vladimire and Jorjet. Vladimire is on a Well, this leaves Gretchen and I all alone in sunny mission to England. He has left his boat, Aquarius, and the chiefs beat on them with a stick. Pago Pago. Why do I feel like we're in Oz and we After the five-minute warning the bell is rung again in Tonga and is sailing another boat, Aberlady, non- just said goodbye to the Scarecrow, Tin Man and stop (almost) to England for the owners. all life stops. If you are driving through a village, Cowardly Lion? We've put thousands of miles under you must stop. If you are walking, you must sit. If The owners of Aberlady, our friends Jeff and Sheila, our keel with this family and well miss them all have flown back to England where Jeff gets to direct you are talking you have to shut up. tremendously. The 6 p.m. Sa lasts for 10 to 15 minutes. The 10 his first television commercial. While Shadowfax has been tied to a dock, I've tried Vladimire should return next March to his boat. We p.m. Sa lasts for two hours. to be a good little roving reporter and have asked the When I tried to find the reason for Sa, either hope we'll meet up with him and his crew in the locals a lot of questions. (I even found a small note future. If he shows up on Sanibel, make him religion, tradition or just to play with the bells, it pad!) turned into quite a chore. Almost everyone has a welcome. The Samoan way of life is really pretty interesting. The next to leave was our friend and crew, David different answer to the "why" question. Two or three times every day, there is an island-wide The best answer came from a young Samoan who is Poole. Dave has fallen in love with a super nice girl, ceremony called "Sa." Sa starts when the Ma Ties Yukie, and has flown to Australia to make money and studying the ancient history of these islands. (chiefs) ring bells to warn everyone they have only The 6 p.m. Sa is for a moment of silence in respect babies. We couldn't talk Yukie into sailing. This five minutes until the Sa starts. crazy life isn't for everyone. At least this proves for the dead and hope for the living. The 10 p.m. Sa, The first thing I noticed was that the "bells" were he told me, is something like a neighborhood watch. falling in love in the South Pacific and flying into actually old acetylene welding cylinders with the the sunset doesn't just happen in the movies. During every Sa, guards are put into the streets to bottoms cut out. The cylinders hang from the trees enforce the custom. These guards watch for any crime while also "guarding the Sa," as they call it. The guards will let people pass to their home during the evening Sa, but you better have a good reason for being out (choir practice, your job or school). Last year, a drunk reportedly approached one of the enforcers and started some trouble. They killed him. Beat him to death and nobody went to jail. Sa is serious! Other Sa's may be thrown in anytime during the day for church meetings, chief councils or even political reasons. One thing I forgot to mention, you must never, and I mean never, eat during Sa. I don't know what would happen if you did and I promise never to find out!! Another interesting aspect of the Samoans is their concept that every American is an electronics genius. Gretchen and I were invited to a night of boxing that included about a dozen matches. The place was packed with about 1,000 people and we were obviously the only non-Samoans there. Just before the first fight, a Samoan came running up to us as we sat hidden in the back row and said, "One of the judges needs you. Come with me." We followed him to the P.A. audio system and the judge told me to "make it work." No problem. I kicked it a little, talked to it some and finally noticed that the speakers weren't plugged in.

I he Shadowfax docked at Samoa. Please see McPHEES, page 2B McPhees continued from page 1B

I can think of more impressive ways to save the day, but I'll take what I can get. It worked fine. This impressed them so much, they told me they were short of coaches and would like me to coach a few of the boxers from their corners. Well, these Samoans are all built like Mike Tyson (the women, too) and for me to tell them how to fight is a little comical. I will try just about anything (remember all the parts in Mike Fuery's plays?). So, off I went to "coach" in the red corner. When the first boxer got to my corner, I said to him, "See that guy in the other corner? I want you to get out there and hit him, kick him, bite him ... he can't possibb be as big as he looks." Well, my boxer got the tar kicked out of him and I was ready to retire. Unfortunately, they still wanted me as a coach. My next fighter did quite a bit better. I told him maybe could get him tickets to Disney World (a new strategy). He fought like Ali; pulverized the guy (anybody got any tickets?). That's it for my coaching career. I'll stick to fixing P.A. systems. I haven't been the only one getting into crazy situations One day while Gretchen was minding her own business a work, one of the employees ran out of the building after having an argument with another employee. On his way out, this 200-pound guy pounded Gretchen on top of her head with his fist. Don't worry, Gretchen's O.K. I told he Gretchen McPhee in front of the historic courthouse in American Samoa. to insist on combat pay. If we find the guy, we'll hang him by his thumbs and send you a picture. A few other interesting things have happened. Such as, the people on the trimaran docked in front of us were jusl given a six-day-old baby! Samoans, in fact all Polynesians, have many children (] SPECIALIZING IN ~^ met one man with 23 brothers and sisters) and they give • REPAIRS • NEW CONSTRUCTION * the excess kids to their mothers, sisters, friends or, better yet, enemies.

Cypress Coach OUie Pottmeyer believes that transportation problems have always been a factor. This year, however, islanders are represented on each of the Panther's three teams. Playing with the varsity as a running back is John Gavin. Duffy Traucht and Jay Colter are linebackers with the Junior Varsity, and they are joined by center Duncan Boswell. Louis Hinds is an offensive guard and a defensive end for the Panther frosh. Gavin, who is returning to the varsity, will primarily be playing on the special teams. While he has not seen much action as of yet, Pottmeyer describes him as possessing excellent speed and a true asset to the team. The varsity Panthers bounced back this week from their home opener 24-14 loss to Estero, by defeating Cape Coral High School on the road, 6-3. All of the scoring in the game came from field goals as both teams floundered offensively. The Cape scored first posting three points off the foot of kicker Regtuyther in the second quarter. Later that quarter, Panther kicker Wendell Warr put Cypress in the game with a 34-yard field goal. Both teams were scoreless through the third quarter.
