Coast, though it is not clear yet if this represents an increase over the last survey in 2002. We do know from sightings of banded birds that birds born on Sanibel are dispersing as far as Tampa to the north and Marco to the south, so it is plausi- ble that our birds are simply finding "better" nesting habitat elsewhere. We also know that the population of snowy plovers in the Pet of the Week state of Florida has remained stable over the 12 years from 1999 to 2002 at around 200 nesting pairs. Additional evidence from counts conducted this winter also support the idea that the population is still healthy despite Sanibel's decline. A count of plovers on the southwest coast of Florida found 177 Snowy Plovers, a number that greatly exceeds the 2002 breed- ing survey estimates of 110 birds (55 pairs) for the same area.

Another inspection in 2006 of the Pace's Place Reef off Redfish Pass shows an abundance of algae, which has killed off most of the marine organisms growing there; there is concern about whether that area will be able to rebound. "I have never seen this amount of algae growth in this area," Steve said. Again, there is a question regarding a con- nection with Lake O water releases. According to Lee County's Natural Resources Web-Site — www.lee-county.com — Artificial Reefs in Lee County waters will continue to provide diverse fishing pleasure for many years to come. The Artificial Reefs created not only attract and hold fish that recreational fisherman enjoy catch- ing, but also create viable, long-lasting marine habitat that complement the natural ledges and outeroppings that are occasionally seen off Lee County's coast. Folldwing-up on water-quality in the area Erick Lindblad, SCCF's executive director will speak on "Water Issues Update" at Friday, June 23 Rotary Club meeting at 7:30 a.m. at the Dunes.

Often the groom wants a spe- a consultation, but the groom is more involved in the plan- ning,- as well. According to See, he is usually quite busi- nesslike and asks lots of questions. Since this is an island destination and often unfamiliar to many of the guests, the men are very concerned about their comfort. Grooms ask questions about the best accommodations, meal service and . ••.-••- transportation and special questions like "When do we get to dance?" or "Aren't we supposed to cut the cake? How long will that take?" Ellie describes her consultation with the groom as a basic outline of planning a wedding. Today's men are also very interested in the writing their wedding vows. "One of my favorite parts is writing the wedding vows and I love it when the bride or groom have their own words to add or read. That's their most special moment and they want their guests to share in it." In the past, notes Ellie, when a bride and her family were planning a wedding, they would ask, "How much is this going to cost?" Today's brides come in with their budget in hand, which puts everything into perspective immediately. Fortunately, on the island there is a large variety of choices to fit every budget. During the past year Ellie has spent a lot of time inter- viewing the owners and managers of the different island venues, ranging from the major resorts to the smaller inns. With the islands being a high-end wedding destination, it ;•••. takes creativity on the part of the consultant in knowing which vendors and services are top notch and totally reliable. Also, with the amount of money that's spent on weddings, Ellie always calls attention to a wedding insurance program to protect the couple against common mishaps or liabilities in connection with their wedding. Ellie represents various invitation companies and is able to offer competitive pricing in addition to creating personal- ized place cards, menus, programs and wedding favors. Often she consults island vendors who help her supply wed- V*" ding favors — an individually boxed chocolate from an island chocolatier, for example, or a Sanibel shell, beautiful- ly presented.

Ellie recommends choosing a totally different area of the island to provide a contrast and to allow guests to experience a another island scene.

Bobroff said. If you're not sure whether to include a food in Meat and bean selections include canned or foil-packaged your disaster supplies, try serving it for dinner first. "If you don't like canned spinach now," she said, "you won't want to eat it when your roof is leaking and a tree is down in your yard." Bobroff cautioned that some items traditionally stockpiled for emergencies, such as canned soups and some snack foods, may be high in sodium, fat and/or sugar - nutrients people should consume in moderation. "Disaster preparation is a great opportunity to pay closer attention to nutrition labeling," she said. "You may learn that foods you've eaten for years aren't as healthful as you thought." Other shopping guidelines Bobroff suggests: Look for items that can be consumed in a single meal or stored safely without refrigeration, once opened. Take advantage of coupons and store specials, but only if you really need the items. Most important, always shop with a plan in mind. "When you're buying a two-week supply of food, just intu- itively grabbing things off the shelves probably will not work well," she said. "Instead, try developing menus for a few days' worth of balanced meals, then buy enough food to prepare our ID Refurnish Your Home or Condo? each meal several times."
