On Oct. 28 the playhouse board of directors voted 9 to 5 to not renew artistic director Robert Cacioppo's contract. That's 64 percent not to renew Cacioppo. On Dec 4 ACT NOW, formed to protest the board's action which they said did not reflect the desires of the membership, called for a vote to dis- miss the board. The outcome was 293 vote to temove and 14 vote to retain with 178 not responding. That was based on a membership lust of 485, some of which had joined the Playhouse membership after learning of ACT NOW's purpose. That's 60 percent to remove the board. On Dec. 13 the original board called for a new Gwenda Hiett-Clements proxy vote because they said the first meeting was Members of the Zwick-led board of directors not legal.

Our school secretary loves the sunshine By Adam Hahn Staff Writer Bonnie Liljequist is one of our secretaries here at Sanibel Elemenatry. She started working here seven years ago. Before working here, she worked for the media department of the Lee County School Board in downtown Fort Myers. As a kid, she did not want to be a secretary. She wanted to be a psycologist. She said "I came to Sanibel Elementary because I had moved to Sanibel, and I wanted to work close to home." When I asked her what her favorite part of her job was, she answered "Working with the kids. I love all the students at Sanibel Elementary." Before mov- ing to Sanibel, she lived in Illinois near Chicago. When I asked her what her favorite part of Southwest Florida is, she answered, "The sunshine." When she was in grade school, she went to a school in Mount P,r o.spect, Mrs. Liljequist Illinois. If she could live anywhere in the world, she would live here. The reason she moved here is she had a boat and she wanted to live on the water.
