Many island hotels and restau- rants remain closed following the passing of two hurricanes in three weeks, with no plans to re-open until the latest threat posed by Hurricane Ivan is resolved. With this latest storm tracking west and due to hit Jamaica by Friday and Cuba by early Sunday, Floridians are punch-drunk from the potential of a third hurricane hitting the state in less than a month. And businesses are in no hurry to remove boards from their windows with another threat on the horizon. "At this point, it's not affecting the hotels as much as the restau- rants," said Steve Greenstein, executive director of the Sanibel Photo by Renny Secerop,ce Captiva Islands Chamber of (L-R): Asst.

It has been a problem in a few areas already. Hurricane Frances made with the region, Sanibel and the rest of Lee County held-off on removing plywood from windows with the spectre of Hurricane Ivan looming in the Caribbean. Ivan — carrying maximum winds of 140 MPH - was expected to strike Jamaica by early Friday and Cuba two days later. As of early Tuesday, the storm was travelling west at 18 MPH.

Parks and Recreation Director Helene Phillips said that the city is still conducting damage assessment on the Rec Center following the consecutive storms. Frances dropped tropical storm gusts of 40-60 MPH on the island over the weekend after Charley passed close to the west Aug. 13, the eye of the storm packing 145 MPH winds. "Most of this is from Charley and was aggravated fur- ther by Frances," she said, pointing toward ceiling tile sagging toward the floor from the weight of rain water. Staffers worked on clean-up Tuesday with plastic tarps hanging from the ceiling in order to catch water and falling tiles. Plans call for the Rec Center's gym to be double the size of the present 8,000 square-foot facility, Phillips said. An exercise pool will be incorporated to supplement the 75-foot pool currently at the center, and the existing play area for children will be enhanced, she said. Damage from the two storms will not necessarily affect the project, Phillips said. "I don't see it as a setback, council has to decide what direction the project will go in anyway," she said. Funding for the project includes greater costs to the city in the first year of implementation, City Manager Judie Zimomra said. "It's up to council to decide Saturday if it will still be included in this year's budget," she said.

The storm also took its toll on our native and migratory wildlife as well as the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW). People around the nation and world have stepped for- ward and helped those affected by Hurricane Charley. Living in Bryn Althyn, Pennsylvania, Alexandra, Nicole and- Samantha knew they couldn't come to Sanibel to help, but wanted to do something to make a difference and help the wildlife affected by Hurricane Charley. "We thank all those who have been so helpful to CROW through this difficult time, knowing that many of them were personally affected by Hurricane Charley as well." They decided to have a lemonade stand with all of their profits going to help CROW. Thus far, they have raised $21.50, which is enough to feed a pelican and a shorebird for a week. "Every gift makes a difference, and it's wonderful to see an entrepreneurial spirit at work in helping the wildlife being cared for at CROW" said board president, Ann Moran. Alexandra and Samantha are the granddaughters of part-time Sanibel residents, George and Leone Graham, and they come to Sanibel at least once a year for vaca- tirOH, Both -love animals and wildlife, with Alexandra hoping to become a vet or open a homeless animal shel- ter!

There is .<.>-••: still plenty of debris to be removed, but for the most part, it's organized into piles waiting for pick up. A second dose of wind and rain from Hurricane Frances was another step back, but work crews took advantage of a mild Labor Day to con- tinue clean up efforts. At the same time though, islanders are keeping a wary eye on Hurricane Ivan. At Jensen's Twin Palms Resort & Marina, the new pier is well on its way to completion. Dave Jensen was pleased over- all with how the property had weathered Charley, although there was still plenty of repair work to be done. "You just pick a project every day, and work on it," said Jensen. On Andy Rosse Lane, Sandy Stilwell hoped to have the Key Lime Bistro open for dinner by Monday evening.

Kings Crown is intact, thank God. They've been at MacKenzie Hall standing there for 100 years, hopefully they'll stand there for the next 100 years."
