According to Lee County's Web site, the A Span, which replaces the old draw- bridge, is scheduled to be open for traffic in February- However, Lee County Department of Transportation Chief Paul Wingard has said it will be March at the earli- est before it's complete. Span B is close to completion but Span C, closest to Sanibel, is not expected to be finished in time for the ribbon-cutting. The new toll plaza should be ready for traffic in April and the new parking for the Punta Rassa boat ramp is scheduled for completion in June. It will be next September before the final touches are in place, such as drainage ponds, landscaping and sea- walls, according to the Lee County Web site. The 2006 hurricane season is almost over and Boh Bros., the New Orleans-based bridge contractor, has not had to deal with any major storms this summer. The May 5 opening ceremonies will include a 5k run, bicycle races, a fishing tour- nament, water activities, music and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. A group headed by DeMarchi and members of civic and community groups and county staff, meets on Sanibel the first Wednesday of each month to work out details of the opening ceremony. The next meeting will be on December 6 at 3 p.m. at the Sanibel Captiva Community Bank on Library Way. The 5k run will start at 7:30 a.m. from Island B to the toll plaza and back. The organizers will work with the Lee County Sheriff's Office on accommodating simulta- neous vehicular traffic and creating space for runners. The ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches will last from 10 to 11 a.m. Among events tentatively planned for the afternoon are canoe and kayak activities, An aerial view of Span A of the new Sanibel Causeway with the Sanibel Harbour Resort at a youth fishing contest, a boat parade under the new 70-foot fixed span bridge, and a right, photographed on October 31 with the final section in place boat regatta.

Friends of the Pines believe Sanibel's famed trees have become an integral feature of Sanibel's unique ecology that has attracted residents and tourists to the island for nearly a century. Friends of the Pines report that the community's safety issues can be ensured while maintaining the constitutional rights of private property owners who love their pines. Considering the city's high maintenance costs, as well as ever- increasing tax burdens, Friends of the Pines urge the city to prioritize its projects. Is eradicating Sanibel's pines more important than addressing releases from Lake Okeechobee, building a new recreation center, 472-SUNN(7866) improving the shared-use path system, or revegetating Periwinkle Way? In a public meeting held soon after the Vegetation Committee 2427 Periwinkle Way Open Daily 10-5 Closed Sundays submitted its eradication proposal, Committee members admitted OAKLEY SCRIPT that it costs at least $1500 to remove a single Australian pine. When asked how many pines grew on the island the Vegetation Committee responded they had no count-on the trees. A recent fly-over revealed that the number of healthy pines growing on Sanibel is likely closer to one hundred thousand than ten thousand. The cost of removing 10 thousand Australian pines, at the low estimate of $1500 per tree, will be 15 million dollars. It would cost 150 million dollars to eradicate one hundred thousand trees. And this does not include the cost of a Needlework Shop replacement vegetation.

Transits occur when a smaller object passes in front of a much larger target. A telescope or spotting scope equipped fcwith a front end solar filter or solar projection system will be necessary to view this event. Consider locating through www.astrolcague.org/ , astronomy groups that might be open to the public if you do not own this type of equipment. Transits of Mercury are rare, occurring about 13-14 times each century. Living in only one location, about half of them would be occurring in other parts of the world, making them inaccessible to us. Then there is the additional problem of cloudy or inclement weather thatfurther limits their visibility, especially in the eastern half of the country. The first and only Mercury transit that I saw was on the morning of Saturday, November 10, 1973. Several of my high school students accompanied me to the eastern escarpment of Pulpit Rock, about seven miles south of Hawk Mountain, in eastern PA where we witnessed the sunrise with Mercury ncaring the end of its trek across the sun. Since that time, there have been four additional transits. The Mercury transits of Nov. 13, 1986 and Nov. 6, 1993 were not visible from the Hast Coast, whereas the transits of Nov. 15, 1999 and May 7, 2003 occurred under locally cloudy conditions. Sky conditions this Wednesday will dictate whether we need to wait an additional 10 years until May 9, 2016 to witness the next Mercury transit, a complete crossing of the plan- et across the sun's face which will be visible from most of the continental US.

Scientists often address David Jenkir this question and refer to the ability of a natural environment to bounce back from repeated change as ecosystem resilience. To shed some light on ecosystem resil- ience, I would like to share a story from one of my professors, Paul Ehrlich. Imagine that you are flying out of Fort Myers airport. You have arrived early and are at the gate enjoying a cup of Sanibel Bean (of course you always support local business) and looking at the aircraft you will soon be soaring in 35,000 feet above the planet. You notice an aircraft mainte- nance worker on the wing of the plane. She has a cordless drill, a pair of pliers :\ n: :':• f'.uv; /: ;i mm A>:i and a small tool pouch on her belt.

Only no one follows her to replace the rivets she has removed from all over the plane. You go to the counter to politely ask about her activity. A very friendly repre- sentative says, "Oh yes, how observant of you to notice our rivet puller, she really does a good job." You of course ask when they replace those rivets. In just as friendly a response, the bubbly representative says, "Oh, we don't replace the rivets, there are millions of them on a plane, and we have found that when we remove some, nothing really happens; but it does decrease the plane's weight and therefore we use less fuel and pass those savings on to you." "You never replace the rivets?" "Oh no sir." "How are you going to know when to stop pulling rivets, I mean do you know how many are crucial to the safety of the plane?"
