Sanibel Firemen train in realistic settings First day back at

By GARY PHILLIPS [email protected] . •<• "Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby," sang Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in their hit song of the same name. Sanibel Fire & Rescue District Training Officer Tim Barrett couldn't agree more. The firefighters have been conducting training in actual Sanibel homes that are scheduled for demolition, providing a realism that no manufactured training facility can give. . . Barrett said some of the homes were damaged by Hurricane Charley and are being tom down in favor of new construction. Before the houses are demolished they are offered temporarily to the fire department by local realtors. "It's really invaluable. No home is the same no matter how it looks from the outside," he said. "The layout of the furniture will be different or even where the bed- rooms are. As a general rule people will have their bed- rooms upstairs in a two-story structure, but we have found that many people have their bedrooms on the lower floor." Barren said papers are signed which acknowledge the fire district takes responsibility for their own safety and that the realtors understand that substantial damage will

That means staff training, and lots of it. All resort staff "We'regrarigtoTocus on training like you've never seen before," added Quenzel. "Everyone's job is to make sure no guest is disappointed. Everyone takes ownership of the entire guest experience." Meristar has already begun advertising locally to fill 700 to 800 support staff positions, with no previous resort expe- rience necessary. "We can teach you the hotel business, but we can't teach attitude," Quenzel said. "The tropical island experience — that's the product." Putting together a $140 million construction project without a master plan, all in the wake of a category four hur- ricane, hasn't been a problem-free enterprise. The upgrades were originally planned to take place over three years, but Hurricane Charley condensed them into about half that time. Building plans for Mariner Hall ran headlong into FEMA regulations, costing about three months worth of work. Then there are the causeway weight restrictions that drive up the cost of bringing truckloads of materials onto the island. However, Quenzel characterized it all as "noth- ing that wasn't anticipated." One thing he is proud of is that the South Seas man- agement team has remained intact, even through the long closing.

LET'S TALK REAL ESTATE 6-34 to. YACHTSMAN SANtBEL, I:L Presented by Margie Davison IS THERE REALLY ANOTHER BUYER? You have found the perfect house and are thinking about making an offer. Even though you trust your Realtor, you are feeling some pressure just when you feel that you need time to consider the matter. The agent tells you that another party is thinking about making an offer, so you shouldn't delay if you really want the house. What should you do? Trust your agent! It is natural to feel some pressure from even the most easy-going Realtor ~ and some uncertainty about whether to make an offer. If you really like a house, there is always the possibility that someone else with share your enthusiasm for it. Sometimes you can "sleep on it" and it won't matter.

I'm sure this is as it should be, but, with respect, I'd like to call your attention to a much greater and potentially more dangerous problem on Donax: the constant speeding by cars and trucks from early AM through the eyening, seven days a week. Donax is a major thoroughfare now, providing an alternate to Periwinkle. The more congested Periwinkle gets, the more traffic; we have on Donax. Although there are 30MPH signs posted at both the south and north ends of Donax, they are universally ignored by vehicles. This is a dangerous situation as both bikers and pedestrians use Donax as well as the vehicles. Exiting from our dri- MOT veways can be treacherous as well. Frankly, I think it's a more dangerous situation than that JQD San-Cap Road where I read of frequent citations, because Donax is more densely populated. This speeding, particularly by-heavy commercial vehicles is also a "noise" pollutant for those of us who live on Donax.

Imagine you are stand- ing on the shore looking out into Pine Island Sound as the water rolls around your ankles. Fish jump in the distance and an osprey soars above your head carrying a fish to its nest for dinner. We begin shuffling our feet in the shallows- a necessary activity to avoid a painful encounter with a stingray.
