Hefty honored by council upon retirement Arts For ACT coming • next Saturday, Aug. 27 Sharon Stone to reprise auctioneer role

By AMY FLEMING [email protected] If the turn out at the Arts for ACT auction preview was any indication, this should be one well-attended event. You couldn't have fit another person into the Robert Rauschenberg Gallery with a shoehorn, so packed was the space at Edison College that evening. Arts for ACT supporters filled the space to get an idea of what they might like to bid on at next Saturday's auc- tion, and to meet this year's featured artist, Olympic dis- cus champion Al Oerter. Oerter grew up in New York in the 1950's where he was exposed to both the growing abstract expressionist movement, as well as athletics. He and Carl Lewis are the only athletes to win gold medals in four consecutive Olympics. Oerter participated in the 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968 games, setting Olympic and world records each time. He was the 1959 Pan Am champion, as well as a six-time U.S. champion, and a member of the Olympic Photo by Gary Phillips purchase of the Sanibel Sanitary Sewer System.

Wtb 161 By JENNY BURNHAM jburnham@breezenewspapers,com Dorothy Wallace, web site designer for Sanibel's Zebis information technology firm, advises that you need not jump into an e-commerce web site to have a successful Internet presence. "Just a web site that would provide information will do," she said. For small retailers, in fact, an e-com- merce site may be impractical, as inventory changes so quickly that posting merchandise offerings becomes an exercise in futility. "A site that describes your services and products and gives contact information can be very useful," said Wallace. "But don't let the site sit idle. Use it to showcase special offerings. Not discounts necessarily, but you can add a box that tells customers 'think about this specific thing,' for items that your clients might be interested in." For example, an art gallery can highlight the work of a few artists by posting digital pictures to a page on the gallery's web site, then sending out a card or brochure inviting clients to visit the site to see what is currently available. A site will not "magically" help a business, said Wallace. "You have to advertise and promote it." Wallace recommended you ask those who come into your business to leave an email address, and then use IT'S PART OF OUR the list to contact customers. Put the site name on all your literature, do physical mailings, and seek out sites FOUR-STAR EXPERIENCE that will negotiate reciprocal links, she said.
