"It wasn't a decision that was easily made," Van Deusen told the crowd, "Family matters forced us to do so." Finney told the Captiva residents, "I hope I can do as good a job as Rory has done." The transfers are expected to take about 30 days and will be effective on approximately April 1. Finney said he would be on Captiva as often as possible before that date in order to get acquainted with the needs of the island. In introducing Finney, Wilson gave the crowd an out- line of his background. Finney is from Anderson, Ind., is married and has an 8-year-old son, Anthony. His wife's name is Rose.

Those who would rid the beaches of chairs and other entirely in three or four years. beach equipment say the limits are too high, and those Island resident Alice Anders, who spoke against having who want to provide the rental chairs say the supply is totally inadequate to accommodate any resorts' guests. The itself is divided, with three of seven ^ casting votes against the permits because the quantities are too restrictive. The Planning Commission set the limits at the Feb. 25 hearings of requests by Billy Kirkland, of Billy's Beach Service for West Wind Inn and Sanibel Inn, and by Todd Carroll, for James and Pat Carroll of Ramada Inn, for con- ditional use permits that would allow the business of rent- ing beach furniture and equipment on the beaches. Planner Roy Gibson had drafted some guidelines that al- lowed for one rental chair per 20 feet of lineal beach frontage. After some discussion, Commissioner Louise Johnson suggested allowing one rental chair per 15 feet of lineal beach frontage. This does not mean chairs would be placed 15 feet apart, it simply is the means to determine the total number of chairs. After it was clarified that one seat equals one chair, the bottom line for equipment rentals is: West Wind Inn (104- ^uiit resort motel with 500 feet of beach frontage) will be flowed 30 chairs, 30 umbrellas, three boats and three bi- cycles. Ramada Inn (98-unit motel with 175 feet of beach frontage) will be allowed 12 chairs, 12 umbrellas and four boats. Sanibel Inn (100 resort housing units with 57 feet of beach frontage) will be allowed 38 chairs, 38 umbrel- las, eight boats and 30 bicycles. In each case, no more than half the number of allowed chairs may be cabanas, those big two-seaters with hoods (a.k.a. "the blue blobs"). For example, West Wind Inn may rent 15 cabanas (which equals 30 chairs). Also, no rental boats shall be more than 16 feet in length. Attorney Tim Murty, representing Kirkland, wondered aloud just how objective these hearings are when everyone keeps referring to the "blue blobs."

Environment news Little known refuges discussed by Rick Huffines at SCCF program
By Steve Ruediger Islander staff writer The little known wildlife refuges of the West Coast of Florida were described Friday, Feb. 28, in a talk at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation by Rick Huffines of the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The refuges he described are mostly islands that can only be reached by boat. Three of the national wildlife refuges - Egmont Key, Passage Key and Pinellas - are in Tampa Bay. They are under the management of the Chasahawitzka Na- tional Wildlife Refuge. To contact that refuge, call \ (904) 563-2088. Egmont Key became a refuge in 1964 and contains the remains of Fort Dade. It is a nesting area for log- gerheads.

Pinellas consists of several islands, was founded in 1921 and produces over 700 baby pelicans a year in the 1 nursery on Tarpon Key. Many of the smaller islands in this refuge have interesting names: Listen Key, Mule New 'Priscilla Murphy Shelski Award Key, Jackass Key and Cow and Calf Key.

I was sitting in Row G on the aisle and let me assure you, completely surrounded by avid Arnold adorers. That Grand Old Man of Nashville entered quite regally. ON THE WATER. He calmly and graciously accepted the applause with a series of clasped hands and partial genuflections. Arnold then quietly moved into his repertoire of IN THE $80,000s. gigantic hits: "Welcome To my World," "King of The Road," "Travel On," the clap-along "Mountain Dew," and from one best selling record to another. The guru of country music performed adroitly, effortlessly and with an absolute minimum of movement. He is truly the perfect specimen of a country gentleman at work. His performance was so laid back that it made Perry Como and Vic Damone seem like Superman and son in full flight. The audience sang along fervently with each familiar hit tune as if they were being coached by Mitch Miller. Arnold's adoring fans left Mann Hall happy that they had been there. I left the theater not being a true believer, but not totally averse to partaking in an Eddy Arnold Cull Meeting now and again.
