Ranger Westiand was enthusiastic about scat, pulling rubber reproductions of deer, bat, raccoon, and possum scat from her box of educational materials and passing the objects around the circle of kids sitting on the floor.

The two most lengthy were from the Kirklands who plan on running tours, renting and selling these machines. Obviously this, indicates their defense of a highly lucrative business venture. Selling a few hundred should bring a hefty six figure profit. Five of the letters were from tourists who had fun rid- ing them. One was from a handicapped Naples resident who achieved greater mobility with this machine. Two were from Sanibel residents and one of them rightly pointed out that they were "only as dangerous or problematic as the rider who uses them". Mr. Kirkland offered some regulations to control use of Segways. At the present time our local police do not seem to control the use of electric bikes on the shared use paths and this is understandable since they are in cars and not on the paths. Therefore the only way to enforce any regulations would be by the creation of a Segway divi- sion within the police department. Can you see the Segway cops chasing Segway speeders down the "bike paths". If you are biking and encounter a four wheel surrey you can thank Mr. Kirkland; if you are behind a moped in a no passing zone you can thank Mr. Kirkland. You may soon be able to thank him for a machine invasion of our bike paths. The island is changing with more affluent part time residents coming here. I can see each of them buying a few Segways for the entertainment of their family and guests. Just imagine several hundred Segways on our shared use paths.
