A Sunday in the park City, EMS, SFD, SPD battle for SBR* ^Sanibel Bragging Rights)

By Rick Fowler Islander staff writer Families came bringing their coolers, the common grill was fired up and the hamburgers were better than any they'd had before. It looked like a sunny, summer Sunday on Sanibel. It smelted like it. It felt like it. It even tasted like it. However, it was really a celebration of spring as thi Sanibel Police Department, the Sanibel Fin Department, Emergency Medical Services of the islai and Sanibel City Government squared off to see wh< could dominate the Softball diamond. Valuable bragging rights were definitely on the line. The impromptu, double elimination, slow pitch Softball tournament quickly turned into a series-of slugfests as the runs began to mount, and as ball after ball found the outer limits of the field. The Sanibel The winning Sanibel Police Department team relaxes after a tough day of tournament play. Police Department claimed top honors as it mustered 46 runs, with nine home runs, stunning their opponents in three games.

For additional picture coverage, ' please see page 12B.

In game one, SPD defeated the City, 17-2. In game two the Sanibel Fire Department fell to EMS, 12-9. EMS then earned the dubious honor of facing SPD in game three where it fell, 13-1. In game four, SFD handled the City, 13-4, to earn a rematch with EMS. In that rematch, SFD unloaded on the game yet under- manned EMS unit to capture a 25-16 victory which set up a SFD vs. SPD final. The final had all the potential to be a battle-to-the- wire slugfest, but it didn't materialize as the SPD dominated the gaftie. SPD pitcher Don Case, a retired lieutenant "who was pulled in off the golf course',' held" SFD to two runs. Providing valuable help was Mike Cooper who handled traffic control in centerfield. Mike Murray and Jack Prim led the SPD offense as the team punched in 16 runs to take the tourney. Family and friends enjoy the sun as they watch the tournament action.

Wildlife Celebration soars Islanders, visitors enjoy annual festival at Tarpon Bay By Steve Ruediger JMander staff writer ^FSaturday's Wildlife Celebration at Tarpon Bay was a mellow, pleasant time. The weather was as warm as the people who strolled past the wildlife exhibits and listened to the special nature-oriented music performed by Jim and Heidi Walsh. Children who won the poster contest were excited as they showed their proud parents their work. Bird callers got a chance to demonstrate their skill to the applause of the crowd. Live animals were a special attraction. Two gopher tortoises were there. The Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife facility brought a burrowing owl, which was not sure who to stare down out of the many people looking at him. The International Osprey Foundation r

She spent most of the morning adjusting a microscope so people could see the microscopic plankton on display. The problem was the little critters kept moving around and she kept having to find them. Later, Clements, showing dedication beyond the call of duty, dressed up as a pelican for the introduction to the bird calling contest.
