Snowy, Wilson's plover nesting statistics

|

Since February, there have been 15 snowy plover nests identified on Sanibel. So far this year, there are 11 fledglings from five nests; last year, there were only seven fledglings for the whole season. One nest is incubating and one nest has two chicks. The two snowy plover chicks survived the rough weather last week. Seven nests have been predated, including Nest 15; one had eggs that were not viable; one was washed out and then predated. This year, SCCF is also monitoring Wilson's plover nests. There have been two nests: one has hatched, with three chicks and a second nest has fledged three chicks. Nesting season will continue until mid-August. o u It is important that beachgoers help to protect these endangered shorebirds.

But Paige Law isn't like most teenage girls. Sure, she enjoys hanging out with her friends, playing spoils and planning a career as an international business- woman. However, Law's idea for her 16th birthday cele- bration has a loftier ambition. "I love parties, and I wanted to have a big birthday party and invite all of my friends," said Paige, who turns 16 on Aug. 1 .."But I don't want any presents. I'd like my friends to make a donation to the Chamber Of Hope. They need the gifts more than I do." The Hyperbaric Center. For Children Chamber Of Hope, located in St. Petersburg, Fla,, uses state-of-the-art, portable hyperbaric oxygen chambers to treat children afflicted with a number of maladies, including cerebral palsy, autism, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries as well as other neurological disorders. Law became familiar with mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (ml-IBOT) after suffering an injury to her leg while playing soccer. Her physician, Dr. Chance Wunderlich in Cape Coral, recommended that she try mHBOT in order to accelerate her recovery time. It did. "Before I started the treatments, the bruise on my leg was like this," said Law, holding her hands to roughly the size of a football. "And in like a few days, it was the size of a quarter!" By definition, mHBOT is a procedure in which a per- son (child or adult) is exposed to increased pressure, allowing far greater absoiption of oxygen throughout the body's tissues.
