When he decided to strike out on his own, the family moved to Sanibel. "There were still some old, funky houses you could rent pretty reasonably," Polly said. That has changed, and in recent years, the Matsumotos have lived in Fort Myers, com- muting over the bridge to run their art gallery and frame shop in The Village shopping center. They will close the gallery Saturday, April 29. They have had several sojourns away from Sanibel but have always returned. One time they moved to Oregon, and more recently spent a few years in Arcadia, before NO opening their Sanibel gallery about four years ago. They also had a gallery on Tarpon CO Bay Road from 1987 to 1997. It sported a vivid collection of paint colors that was controversial at the time but started a trend on the island towards lively, Caribbean- style exteriors. Not having the gallery will free them up to travel more. They're planning to spend a month in Durango, Colorado, where islanders Jack and Starr Thomas have bought an RV park. They will help the Thomases set up some artists workshops. Polly says she won't miss "the bookwork and the taxes - that's not my thing." The Matsumotos' other two children, Amy and Tai, live in Fort Myers, which will bring them back from time to time. And they'll probably return for art shows, Polly said. Meantime, fans of Ikki's distinctive and crisp art and of Polly's weavings and rag rugs, will still be able to get them. Their work will be displayed in the Seaweed Gallery on Sanibel and Crossed Palms Gallery at Bokeelia. Ikki's work is also available at www. ikkimatsumoto. com. &

I always like surprises and there may be one headed our way in the form of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3. Now that's a mouthful. You might get the j." idea that S-W3 has a connection with Germany. Indeed the discoverers, Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann were two German astronomers con- , ducting a photographic survey of asteroids, when they serendipitously discovered the comet on May 2, 1930. S-W3 is a short period comet, rounding the sun every 5.36 years. The location of the Earth with respect to the comet can make all of the difference between S-W3 being a binocular object as it was in 1930, or not being seen at all. In fact, after its 1930 discovery with Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 passing within six million miles of the Earth, the comet was not recovered again until 1979. Three orbits later in 1995, with S-W3 faint because of its 122 million mile distance from the Earth, the comet unexpectedly brightened nearly 1000 times, becoming a binocular target like it was in 1930. Several months later, astronomers noticed that S-W3 had split into four distinct parts. The brightening resulted from an increased surface area and new, fresh volatiles being exposed for the first time to the eroding effects of sunlight. During this apparition, S-W3 will pass the Earth on May 13 at a scant seven million miles, similar to its discovery distance. Unfortunately, May 13 is also the night of the full moon—SCREAM—which will make the comet difficult to see. The week of May 7, about two hours before sunrise, will probably provide enthusiasts with the best opportunity for seeing S-W3. During that time the comet will pass through the constellations of Hercules, Lyra, and Cygnus. See the online map posted with this Star Watch at www.astronomy.org

Although the Everbiades have advanced to the Kelly Cup Championship in each of the last two years as winners of both the South Division and American Conference, this series is the first time that Florida and Gwinnett have met in hockey post-season play. The Everbiades finished the regular season with a 5-5-1 record versus Gwinnett and were 3-2-1 at Germain. However, the Gladiators enjoy home ice advantage in this series by virtue of a first- place finish in the South Division during the regular season. The Florida-Gwinnett series began Wednesday night at the Gwinnett Center followed by game two there tonight, Friday. If a fourth game is necessary, Florida will host the Gladiators Monday night at Germain, with the fifth deciding game back in Gwinnett next Wednesday. Tickets for this playoff series can be purchased at the Germain Arena box office or online at www.ticketmaster.com. The Everbiades advanced to the division finals by defeating Greenville three games to one. Florida thumped the Grrrowl 9-4 in the deciding game last weekend on the road. The nine goals matched a franchise playoff record. The Greenville demolition was sparked by seven power-play goals, two each by Dustin Johner and Corey Neilson. The Everbiades are attempting to reach the Kelly Cup Finals for the third year in a row, only this year they hope to bring the cup back home - a mission not accomplished the last two seasons.

This event is sponsored by The LAT Foundation. The student art exhibit will run through May 20. Gallery hours are 1 to 4 p.m.,
