Close up of collection

Tom Uhler with his collection Unique Corkscrew Collection On Display At The Sanibel Public Library he Sanibel Public Library has a unique corkscrew collection on display through June. The collection, loaned by local resident Tom Uhler, features more than T100 interesting corkscrews. Uhler has been collecting for about 30 years. His collection includes examples from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries and features a variety of styles such as gilded, modern and art noveau. Some materials represented include brass, silver, Lucite, mother-of-pear, ceramic, and Bakelite. A variety of themes and figures are also represented, including dogs, lions, alligators, mermaids, seahorses, Popeye, red devil, Bacchus, Senator Volstead, legs, shoes, a riding boot, thistle and a shamrock. There are pin handle, screw pull, full handle, loop, straight pull, bottle knife and swivel knife corkscrews on display. Some of these are carved, others are cast. Not only does the collection span centuries, it also encompasses many countries, including England, France, the United States, Germany, Austria and Italy. There is a Goodyear roundlet, patented May 6, 1951 by Goodyear, his first patent. Uhler also has a Crosby Pup, which Bing Crosby created as a gift for his friends, and Old Snifter, fashioned after Rep. Volstead, his name is closely associated with the National Prohibition Act of 1919, usually called the Volstead Act. The act was the enabling legislation for the enforcement of national prohibition beginning in 1920. Uhler has been a long-time member of the Society of Wine Educators and founded The WineMerchant of Fort Myers in 1984. He is frequently called upon by local media as a resource for stories on food, wine and wine collecting. About 30 years ago, he acquired an old corkscrew while visiting a wine-producing region. That led to an interest in collecting these interesting wine tools. He discovered that there are many like-minded fanatics around the world and has steadily increased his collection. The Sanibel Public Library is at 770 Dunlop Road.

Snowy plover with two chicks photo by Hugh McLaughlin Snowy Plover Nesting Statistics s of Friday, May 9, there were seven active snowy plover nests Awith eggs on Sanibel. Nest 1 hatched all three eggs on May 9. There was a total of 10 nests but one was lost to predation (probably by crows) and the second was lost due to human interfer- ence. The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) coordinates the monitoring of snowy plover nesting on Sanibel. Snowy plovers nest on the beach and SCCF stakes protective exclosures around snowy plover nests. Do not enter the staked exclosures and keep dogs out as well. When snowy plovers are not moving, they are extremely well camou- flaged. If a snowy plover is flushed from its nest, it takes very little time for the hot sun to damage the eggs. The snowy plover is a state-listed, threatened species on Sanibel. The most recent estimate indicates that around 200 pairs of snowy plovers remain along the west coast of Florida, from the Panhandle through Cape Sable. Snowy plover nest- ing season runs through August, and they can nest two or three times in one season. You can learn more about snowy plovers at a weekly program offered every other Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at SCCF’s Nature Center, 3333 Sanibel- Captiva Road, or visit SCCF’s website at http://sccf.org/content/80/Snowy- Plover-Project.aspx.

Resurfacing the trail will reduce erosion and enhance visitor access and experience.

Last spring, SCCF workers unrolled the MAPS island behind Clark’s house, adding emergent aquatic plants into the pre-cut holes photo by Thelma Clark From page 1B When SCCF was finally able to harvest the vegetation growing on the island, they also reported a successful first year. Floating Island “We harvested 435 pounds of vegetation from the island, which was 30 to 80 “When Mark (Thompson) called me to come out and harvest the plants, I told him percent of the biomass of each of 610 plants,” said Jenny Evans, manager of SCCF’s that he’d have to wait because the moorhens had laid their eggs on the island… I saw Native Plant Nursery. “That biomass contained at least 2.2 pounds of nitrogen and a few fuzzy chicks out there,” said Clark. “I’m always seeing fascinating things. For five 0.22 pounds of phosphorus.” or six days in a row, I saw an alligator out there. They must realize that it’s a secure According to Evans, SCCF had estimated that in order to come into compliance place for them.” with water quality standards, 1,000 pounds of nitrogen and 26 pounds of phosphorus needed to be removed from Clark’s lake. “Even though the amount of nutrients taken out of the system from biomass remov- al is minor compared to what is needed, some research shows that the root system biofilms (a group of microorganisms covering the plants’ root surfaces) also improves nutrient cycling and actually removes more nitrogen and phosphorus from a storm- water pond than biomass uptake,” she added. “Once the plants are established in the island, a biofilm is always present, and therefore, is working all of the time.” Also, SCCF discovered a large population of false mussels growing on the bottom of the island and along all of the plant roots. “The false mussels on the island can filter a lot of water, removing particulate mat- ter and potentially improving nutrient cycling (and therefore, nutrient removal) from the lake system,” said Evans. “One island fully populated with mussels can filter an estimated half million gallons of water per day.” Recently, another pair of Sanibel homeowners – Al and Sally Hanser – installed a floating island in a lake bordering their property. It is hoped that the second MAPS on the island will have an even greater impact ecologically. “Thelma’s lake is 20 acres in size. For a 0.5 percent coverage, you would need 16 more islands,” explained Evans. “Horseshoe Lake (behind the Hanser’s house) is half that size, so 0.5 percent could be reached with approximately seven or eight more islands. Increasing the percentage to more than 0.5 percent would be an even better impact.” Installing a 250-square-foot island like Clark’s costs $1,768, or approximately $6 per square foot, including the installation and the plants. For additional information, contact SCCF’s Native Plant Nursery at 472-1932 or visit www.beemats.com. “I hope more people on the island see the impact that something like this can have,” said Clark. “There is a kaleidoscope of nature that you can see and enjoy… it’s almost like having your own personal Nature Channel.” From her kitchen, Thelma Clark uses a pair of binoculars to watch wildlife enjoying the floating island in her back yard photo by Jeff Lysiak ISLAND SUN - MAY 16, 2014 19B growth path.
