:: ••,• wvw.Congressjewelers.cprrL ;:;; INSTRUMENTS FOR PROFESSIONALS7 cracked me up. But then I had to show them how to say it. (Why don't you try it African Journal right now?) It was their turn to crack up in laughter! Pretty soon, by popular demand, I had to put up all kinds of similar words for the class to practice, words such as Kids Say The Funniest Things "uggggggggggh," "yummmmmmm," "aahhhhhhhh," "ooooooooh," "ewwwwww- www." The class that day, at least, really enjoyed learning English. • In a recent test, I had a question on the blackboard that read like this: "The people of Yetebon use a boat." The choice answers were a) sometimes, b) never, c) always, d) often. This was in a class of 80 students, and this was, in my opinion, the give-away question, the easy one no one would miss. There is no navigable water near Yetebon, and so no one has a boat. Still, members of the class continually asked me to please read the question again and again. Finally, one boy fessed up, sheepishly asking: "What's a boat?" • On a 5th grade test I asked the students to write a sentence that told me what they had drank the previous day. We'd practiced this earlier in the week and I knew writing sentences was one of the hardest things these students had to do in learning English. Nevertheless, I got many good sentences, from "I had five cups of coffee," to "I had glass of water," "I no have milk," "I not drink alcohol!" The most unexpected answer, however, was a student writing "It was bigger than an elephant." That's a lot of serious drinking! • We were learning directions on how to get around in a city. The day before we'd spent some time on a fun map, following directions to get to a treasure hidden under a tree. But, could the students do it in reality? I decided to bring my necktie to class to use as a blindfold. One student would be sightless, and another would tell him how to find the "treasure" he'd placed in the classroom (an eraser). You'd probably have had to be there to appreciate how many times students would run into a wall, a desk, the door - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. I tried to keep it in control, but the Boys will be boys 6th grade is, well, crazy. One poor student was walking between desk rows feeling for the treasure when he was literally "attacked" by students trying to tickle him. Mayhem ensued. by Scott Martell • Students will often cheat if they get the opportunity. It is not funny, usually. But this same 6th grade class had a test and soon half of them were in line so that I could don't remember the exact name, but as a child I loved watching Art Linkletter's fix "mistakes." I was humiliated. I must have read my answer sheet wrong and hence show about kids who "said the funniest things." Most teachers could probably marked some answers incorrect. A couple boys, however, wouldn't put up with the Iwrite books about the humorous, silly, crazy things that kids do. I hope to share ethical challenge the class was facing. "Stop! Stop!" they yelled, butting in front of the many such fun stories with you. Here are a few I've captured so far from teaching line. "They are cheating!" Then they showed me how a "c" could be turned into an 5th through 8th graders in a very rural area of Ethiopia. "a" or a "d" or even a "b." I couldn't believe it. I had to sit and meditate on it for about • It's not easy getting students to speak up in class, though they all clamber to read five minutes while the class watched me. Then 1 took the offenders outside for a serious when we come to a story in the English book. One week we had a sentence where talk. I subsequently told all of my other classes... we'd laugh, but I knew they had got a farmer's wife expressed how tasty the honey was by saying "Mmmmmmmrn!" Of the real message. I was onto this trick. But, who knows what might come next!!! course the innocent student actually said "em, em, em, em, em, em, em!" which continued on page 15

It is also the first of two really optimum weeks for viewing Mercury. Mars " has been steadily approaching Saturn during the last several months, but over the past two weeks, it has become obvious just how fast their separations are nar- ^_ . « rowing. During the beginning of this week, search for Saturn with binoculars about 9:30 p.m. It will be almost due west about 20 degrees above the horizon. • 1^^h»|l>* Through binoculars, Mars will be to the right and slightly below Saturn, about one half of a binocular field of view away. By Wednesday, Mars has closed to just over one degree, or two moon diameters from Saturn. More interestingly, Mars will be virtually in the middle of the Beehive star cluster in Cancer the Crab. By 10 p.m., the Earth's rotation has carried Mars and Saturn to within 13 degrees of the horizon, but it should be easy to spot the stars of the Beehive surrounding Mars with binoculars. Even more spectacular will be viewing reddish Mars through a telescope. By Saturday, Mars and Saturn will appear only one moon diameter apart and be visible at moderate powers through telescopes. The Beehive cluster will be only one degree to the right, still close enough to be seen with wide field scopes at low magnifications. Also in line with Mars and Saturn, but below Saturn on Saturday, will be Delta Cancri, one of the principal stars of Cancer the Crab. It will still be over four times fainter than Mars. In all of the excitement, don't forget about Mercury, which is in its best position for viewing during June. By 9:30 p.m., Mercury is still seven degrees or one binocular field of view above the horizon in the WNW. The Messenger God will be just a little fainter than Saturn, www.astronomy.org

is harvested and sold commercially for use in freshwater aquaria. Also known by the common names eel-grass and wild celery, tape grass is an aquatic perennial herb that grows to three feet long but can attain lengths of up to 10 feet long under the right conditions. The species is commonly found in freshwater streams and rivers, in both rapid and slow flowing water. Tape-grass is an important food source for many species that includes birds and freshwater turtles as well as manatees. Like turtle-grass, its root system provides stability to river bottoms that, in turn, serves as habitat for many other aquatic organisms. Tape grass produces a small white flower with three petals on a long smooth "flower spike" or peduncle.

Its leaves are thin and flat, often only a foot or so long and 1/16 to 1/8 inch wide. The small (less than an inch) flowers are oval-shaped and red.

"I have hooked a bunch but never got one to the beach," said Hayes, co-owner of Sanibel Air Conditioning.

There have been lots of fish off of Fosters Point, south of Useppa and Pumpkin Key area. The fish move day to day so get up early and go look. I don't often catch tarpon unless I am seeing them roll.

Tarpon are very strong fighters and hard to keep on the hook. Most clients lose a few until they get the hang of dropping the rod tip when the fish goes airborn. "Bow to the king" is good advice. Their mouth is all bone which makes it hard to keep them stuck. A sharp hook is really important. They take between 20 minutes and two hours to get to the boat. The more pressure you can keep on the fish the better. During the fight they will come up and gulp air; every gulp re-energizes them. Snook have been really thick at Sanibel Rocks. When the sun is up you can see the dark clouds of fish moving around in the first trench off the beach. As it gets later in the day they move out to the second drop off.

For Father's Day, he gets ties as gifts when he really wants tools, and a comical card when he'd prefer a new pair of golf shoes. On his special day, we don't spend as much on Dad as we do on Mom. The average is $89, compared to $122 lavished on moms. That's according to the National Retail Federation's (NRF) annual survey. However, this year, we'll spend more on Father's Day than last year, a total of $9 billion nationwide, up from $8.2 billion last year. So if you're listening, Dad, you might get something you really want after all. "In spite of higher gas prices, lower consumer confidence, and inflation concerns, shoppers are still opening their wallets for what's really important," said NRF President and CEO Tracy Mullin. all. Most dads can expect at least a greeting card; almost 69 percent of consumers are- expected to purchase at least one card for Father's Day, according to the NRF survey. Two other noticeable favorites for Dad this year are gift certificates (27 percent), and special meals or outings (38.1 percent). Other popular categories include clothing, books or CDs, electronics or computer-related accessories, home improvement or gar- dening tools, sporting goods or leisure items, and tools or appliances. I've been looking around the stores on Sanibel for gift ideas for Dad and there are plenty. Here are some suggestions: • Cool sunglasses — Oakley, Ray-Ban, Maui Jim and other great brands of sunglasses from Sunglasses Internationale, 2427 Periwinkle Way; • A tough guy tool — A Stihl garden tool with scythe, edger, trimmer, brushcutter and other attachments, from Island Condo Maintenance, 1205 Periwinkle Way; • Safety — A great new watch, maybe a Breitling from Congress Jewelers, such as the Breitling Emergency model, designed for pilots — but great for boaters Smooth sailing — that transmits a signal rescuers can home in on, price $6,025; it has only recently been approved for sale to the general public and owners must register their ID.
