Volunteer Dotty ADeVasure gave a short presentation as she introduced different shell spe- cies and described their physical characteristics and other traits. She also informed everyone about the best collecting times and places. She then led the shellers out to the beach where they engaged in the famous Sanibel Stoop as they picked through mollusks and bivalves. DeVasure was on hand to answer questions and identify shells. Jandy Bird of Sanibel, who has been a Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum docent for seven years, finally took part in a beach walk. “I’ve been trying to come out with Dotty for ages,” she said. “She does a great job.” Ginny Cuneo of Chester, Connecticut, also made it a point to spend a sunny morn- ing on the beach. “We saw (the beach walk) in the paper and thought it would be fun to listen to somebody local who knew what we were looking at,” she said. “It was informational and interesting.”

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Please Find Me A Home The 13-year history of the Everblades is indeed amazing as every season has been a winning season, although Florida has yet to capture the Kelly Cup league championship. They begin the 2011-12 season with an overall record of 539-295-94. Twice, 1999-2000, and 2008-09, they recorded the league-best regular season records, 53-15-2, and 49-17-8 respectively, yet that elusive Kelly Cup title didn’t come their way as the result of playoff losses. The Everblades have been successful all these years not only by playing win- ning hockey but also attracting a large fan base. Last season, for example, the Everblades drew 187,526 fans in 36 home games, fourth highest among the 20 teams in the ECHL. Returning for his second year as the Everblades head coach is Greg Poss, who guided the local team to their 13th consecutive playoff with a 37-30-5 record. The 46-year-old Wisconsin native has an extensive coaching resume, coming here after eight years as head coach in the German Elite League.
