This week marks the 30th anniver- has grown and thrived along with the community sary of the Coconut Grove restaurant Sanibel. The business that John d Bella Kontinos started in December 1957 has since grown from a small, family operation into a large, successful establishment that employs more than 50 people. The familiar restaurant on the cor- er of Periwinkle Way and Tarpon Bay Road was originally a small building seating 57 people and serving the needs of a small island communi- ty. Through the years the building has grown with Sanibel as John added an additional dining room and lounge to make the building we know today.

Besides Christmas presents and decorations, December means the bird count on Sanibel By SCOTT MARTELL Islander staff writer

The upcoming holiday explosion may include pur- chasing presents, buying a pine or fir, and putting up a few cheery lights. But here on Sanibel, when the month of December begins to creep past, it is also time to plan for the an- nual Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count. This year the Bird Count will be held on Saturday, SARITAVANVLECK Dec. 19. 472-1343 On this day, volunteers who are somewhat skilled in bird identification, will gather at different locations on the Island. Participants will then run through the COMPILER Island's bird list, noting species and the quantity found. K.C. EMERSON After the count, those who have participated in the 472-9156 count will meet at 5:30 p.m. at the Sanibel Community Church to discuss the day's count and have a feast. The dinner will cost $7.50 per person. Reservations should be made with Wanda Slayton, 1396 Tahiti MARK WESTALL \ WILLIAM B.MARTIN Drive, Sanibel, or call 472-0848, before Dec. 15.

Women's college basketball team goes hoop crazy -« ~"W>*:*&*^ The Sanibel Recreation Complex went hoop crazy last week. Not only did the regular men's basketball league begin its 10-week season, but two new leagues were inaugurated — an old-timers' league (men over 38) and a youth league (youth 9-13). , A But undoubtedly the best basketball team on the floor last week com- mitted "suicide" at the end of practice.
