Second Thoughts While Waiting to Make a Left Turn Onto Periwinkle Joseph Way at Height of Season Pacheco Maybe creating the paradise was too easy, maybe the overlooked place we built against the current fashion, the shell filled beaches we kept replenishing with borrowed sand, the great big sanctuary we convinced the Feds to protect and maintain, the panoramic bridge now being replaced and raised fixed against our objections, maybe they were too much for paradise hunger to handle;,
maybe the battered denuded Eden that greeted us after Hurricane Charley, the island powerless and steaming in the bare post-hurricane sun, the despised Australian Pines finally toppled into chaotic piles, the survivor trees left standing on Periwinkle like beheaded caryatids, were not grim enough reminders of paradise without us; ,
and maybe the machine-gun staccato of generators drowned out by the brutal chainsaws, the thunder of disposal trucks, the hammering of roof repairs, and the army of pickups, maybe the cacophony of cleanup and rebuilding only whets the appetite for paradise;
maybe the debacle of drawbridge debate backfiring, the bitching and the bickering and the blame-placing, the acrimony and sanctimony of builders and anti-builders polluting the once polite air of paradise soon to be ruled by referendum and amendment — maybe broken thus, the paradise heart can never be mended—
the anaconda of haulers, cherry-pickers, pick-up trucks, campers, SUV's and convertibles slowly suffocating Periwinkle won't relax, no space appears between the vehicles: "the back way on Gulf Drive" your only escape, like a beaten animal, ALL THE BEST you make a right turn.

ITURE Bravo, Empire Brass! Listening to the Empire Brass makes you sit ttrr~ straight, eager to hear more of their wonderfully blended talents. On April 5th, as the closing presentation of the Shell Point Concert Series 2004-2005, the Village Auditorium was packed with a most receptive audience for this talented quintet. No doubt about it: Empire Brass is an ensemble of musicians without peer in the highly competitive world of brass quintets. It was the first to win Charlotte the prestigious Naumberg Chamber Heimann Music Award, and continues to bring prize-winning musicianship to audi- ences all over the world. Each of the five artists has held a leading position with major American orchestras. In Fort Myers, the Empire Brass program included works of composers from Albinoni through Mozart and Prokofiev, de Falla and Dvorak to Bernstein, Gershwin and Wilson. Trumpet fans were ecstatic to hear Herbert L. Clarke's challenging Carnival Of Venice in an exciting arrangement created (and^ played with breath-taking skill) by Empire Brass's own Rolf Smedvig. Smedvig, internationally renowned founding member of the group, is one of the world's great trumpeters, clearly living up to the critical term "dazzling virtuoso."
