Every time that it is transport- ed off island, it is extremely stressful for the bird, as each trip takes three to four hours. Judging by his talons and strong beak, staff members are not eager to capture him for transport. During this crisis, David Nichols, DVM, has generously offered CROW unlimited use of the radiograph machine at his Fort Myers office. He operates Coral Veterinary Clinic, a busy practice with a second location on Sanibel. To spare the eagle further anxiety, CROW is pushing back its next round of imaging in the hope that the clinic’s camera can be replaced as soon as possible. X-ray technology is critical to the treatment of CROW’s patients. After all, they are unable to communicate where it hurts and how they were injured. Radiograph machines are very sophisti- cated digital equipment; new ones cost approximately $50,000. CROW hopes that by replacing just the camera (at a cost of $18,000), the machine will run again. “It’s like the engine in your car going out. Do you get a new car or do you get For the first time in its young life, this patient is able to flap his wings and fly This radiograph machine is no longer functional. For its a new engine?

Anyone can receive the Conservation Trees booklet simply by making a $3 donation to the Foundation. Conservation Trees is a user-friendly booklet that features illustrations, colorful photos and easily understood descrip- tions. “Conservation Trees is an ideal resource for tree planters throughout the country,” said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. “It is important that people know how to properly plant and care for their trees. “Taking care of existing trees is just as critical as planting new ones,” Rosenow added. “Trees clean the air, keep our water sources pure and conserve energy. Trees provide so many benefits to a community, and that’s why it is so vital to take care of them.” The booklet provides details about the right way to plant and prune trees. It also includes tips on using shade trees and windbreaks to save on energy costs, attracting songbirds and creating a living snow fence. To receive Conservation Trees, send a $3 check along with your name and address to: Conservation Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410 or order online at www.arborday.org/conservationtrees.

James Sprankle is one of those people. The Sanibel native, son of islanders Jim and Patty Sprankle, is planning to enter this year’s Mongol Rally, which is described by former participants as “the greatest adventure in the world.” The road race – which isn’t technically a “race” at all – begins at Goodwood Circuit in Chichester, England and ends in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. “A friend of mine told me about it last October,” recalled Sprankle, who is currently working at Fox News in Washington, DC. “And my first reaction was to say ‘no,’ because it would probably cost too much money and take too much time.” But after thinking some more about the event, which raises money for charity, Sprankle decided that the opportunity to see so much of the world he knows so little about was too good to pass up. “I realized that there are a lot more places in the world that I want to see other than Florida,” he added. More than 400 teams, identified by colorful and creative names such as Baatar Late Than Never, Single And Ready To Mongol, The Empire Strikes Yak and Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies, are scheduled to engage in this grueling, multi-continent adventure. The Mongol Rally requires teams to raise money to be split between The Lotus Children’s Centre Charitable Trust and the charity of each team’s choice.

The other main purpose was to raise money to support conservation and education efforts at the ‘Ding’ Darling Refuge.” DNA scrubs help the state agency to track the migrations of the species with a simple swipe of a sponge. Tournament participants received extra points for participating in the Tarpon Genetic Recapture Study. The top two teams underwent a truth verification test (said to be more effective than a polygraph) by TVS, Inc., to make the final standings official.

But it really shouldn’t stop there. Ready for a Spring Makeover? Most of us keep only a month or two’s worth of living expenses in our checking account. Our income might be electronically deposited into that account – either in the form of wages, social security benefits, dividends and interest. Sometimes, however, we have larger bills that need to be paid – such as when our real estate tax bill comes due. When those larger bills are due, we might take amounts from our savings or money market accounts to pay those bills. Your Priority Dealer for all The person you have named to take HUNTER DOUGLAS Products care of these things in the event of your incapacity should know which accounts you commonly tap for those larger expenses. They should also know how to easily transfer money between accounts. Sometimes I see where people will actually name a child or other trusted person as a joint account holder to facili- tate these issues. While I believe it may be a good idea to add such a person as a “signor” on the account, I don’t think it’s wise to name that person as a joint owner on the account for a number of reasons. First, as a joint owner, you have legally made a gift to that person of half of the account, and continue to make gifts each time you deposit money into the account.
