It is said that Mozart’s final symphony sums up an era, but more than that, it is an intimate glimpse into the life of this child-like genius. No. 41 in C Major, known as the Jupiter Symphony, holds the key that unlocks the miracle of Mozart.

What’s On Tap At The Sanibel Library The items are part of a 250-plus collection owned by Rick Goodrich of Sanibel. Goodrich was introduced to Brewmania about five years ago by a friend, and has since amassed a collection of beer tapper handles because he says they are colorful, fun and he enjoys searching for unique tappers. Many of the tappers are ceramic, and some are plastic or wooden. “Others collect beer-related glasses, trays, coasters and similar items. I like to search for tappers at garage sales and flea markets,” said Goodrich. The tappers are on display through the end of January at the Sanibel Public Library, 770 Dunlop Road. The Sanibel Public Library offers display cases to showcase unique and interesting collections. Past displays include woodcarvings, Calusa replica masks, shell, Statue of Liberty memorabilia, rhinestone jewelry, vintage handbags and more. If you have a col- lection to share, contact the library at 472-2483.

Three Firefighters Get Phoenix Award by Jeff Lysiak ast week, three members from the Sanibel Fire & Rescue District received praise for their efforts in saving the life of a man who collapsed while playing Ltennis at an island resort. Captain/Paramedic John Griffith, Firefighter/Paramedic Tony Fontaine and Firefighter/EMT Ron Ritchie each received the prestigious Phoenix Award, given to members of the squad who have helped bring an unresponsive patient back to life. According to Fontaine, an emergency call came in to Sanibel Fire Station #1 on May 4, 2013. A man – whose name, age and hometown was not identified – had been play- ing tennis when his friend saw him collapse. The witness flagged down a security guard from the resort, who immediately began to perform CPR on the victim. The witness then called 9-1-1. “A Sanibel Police Department patrol car was in the area and responded to the call,” said Fontaine. “We arrived on the scene four minutes after SPD, and the victim was unresponsive and not breathing normally.” Griffith, who earned his fifth Phoenix Award, credited Officer Jon Smith of the SPD with performing “life-saving” actions on the victim. He also encouraged people to take an AED/CPR class. Fontaine said that the patient was then transported via ambulance to HealthPark Medical Center in Fort Myers. While in transport, crew members continued to work on him. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the patient had “good BP (blood pressure) and pulses.” He was stabilized and spent five days in HealthPark’s intensive care unit before being discharged.

At after joining the fire department. that event, the man whose life they saved presented them their awards. Last month, the three Sanibel firefighters, Smith and Lee County EMT Auriel LaValla “It’s pretty rare that we ever get to see the people whose lives we saved again,” – who also responded to the scene – were also given Phoenix Awards for their life- added Fontaine. “And this man turned out to be a minister, too.” 2B ISLAND SUN - JANUARY 17, 2014 Registration is now available for the event where proceeds go toward educational programming.
