VOL. 32, NO. 23 , 1993 3 SECTIONS, 32 PAGES 50 CENTS Attornef wants status of nude cases uneowered By Steve Ruediger Islander staff writer A judge dismissed the nudity statute charges against the Bowman's Beach nudists last week. The attorney for the nudists now wants it determined if that also dismisses the disorderly conduct charges. In any event, according to attorney Stuart M. Pepper, the dismissal of the nude statute charges makes it obvious that law cannot be used by police against people wanting to sunbathe nude on Bowman's Beach. Three individuals had pled not guilty after being charged on April 11 with being nude on Bowman's Beach. They were charged under a Florida law making illegal lewd and lascivious nudity. Pepper argued before County Judge Radford S. Sturgis on May 17 that his three clients were only nude and that legal precedent going back more than a decade indicates Phot by Kathleen Blase that it is not illegal under the state statute to be nude if nothing lewd or lascivious is being done.

"You couldn't help but fall in love with those people," Mary said. "They are all so kind, so good, so friendly. Sometimes it was easy to lose sight of the fact that they were in a war." During their stops, the Dufners helped distribute such items as shoes and other various necessities. They also handed out toys and candy to the children, who were most appreciative, she said, of everything. "The kids were just wonderful," she said. "They flocked to us every time we stopped and always waved goodbye when we left. "I think we provided a break for them; gave them a break from the monotony and depression," she contin- ued. "I think they were excited just to find out somebody cared about them." Although they were in a war-ravaged country, the group avoided the military conflicts, although Mary said at times they could hear the shells exploding in the dis- tance. "Fortunately there were no dangerous situations," Mary said. "Situations do change day-to-day over there though," she added, indicating that they could have - encountered trouble at any time, and did once. That situation occurred when they were on the bus in the wee hours of the morning heading back to the coast to Split for their flight out. Along the way the bus was suddenly stopped and boarded by the militia. Charlie Dufner is surrounded by children as he hands out toys at one of the refugee camps. 2B THE ISLANDER Tuesday.

DNR concerned about road kills in state's parks According to the Florida Department of Natural Resources, more than 3,090 mammals, birds and reptiles were killed by vehicles in 64 state parks in 1992. And the toll no doubt was much higher throughout the rest of the 148-unit state park system, officials said, because of the number of animal deaths that were not reported when animals left the roadway before they died or when dead animals were scavenged before being count- ed. Most road kills occurred on highways that pass through state parks or on roads that border state park boundaries. Those roads have a much higher volume of traffic and higher speed limits than park roads. Conversely, according to Lou Hinds, the manager of the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, there are few animals or birds killed on Wildlife Drive because of the type of road it is and because of the strict speed lim- its there. Wildlife Drive is a shell road that winds its way through the refuge. Both conditions virtually prohibit speeding, thus allowing for safer passage by animals and birds. Sanibel-Captiva Road, however, is another story. That roadway borders both the refuge and the Sanibel-Captiva *» J Conservation Foundation grounds and like the aforemen- Photo by kathleen Blass tioned roadways through the state parks, it is a noted dan- gerous area for animals on the move, particularly rac- Washed clean coons, alligators, birds, snakes and, on occasion, bobcats.

The old tree has been virtually washed clean by the sun, wind and waves, leaving only the bare wood behind. In the 64 state parks which tallied animal road kills, deer and tortoises led the death count. Thirty-eight deer were reported killed by vehicles; 36 gopher tortoises lost their lives. Other species which showed significant losses Manatees attracting a lot of attention included black bear, gray fox, fox squirrel, otter, bobcat, royal tern, barred owl, alligator, coachwhip snake and at Sea World theme park in Orlando indigo snake.
