Cooley, a highly respected amateur botanist who the SCCF Native was a dedicated supporter of the SCCF during its early Plant Nursery. years. Cooley's daughter, Robin Kvanek of Sanibel, has donat- ed a number of shares in an investment company founded by her father in the early 1940s. The shares, a gift from Cooley in 1943, have greatly appreciated and now are val- ued at $100,000. Proceeds from the sale of the stock will be applied to the SCCF's purchase of the 167-acre Trost tract. "I know my father would be pleased that these funds will be used to help preserve this very special tract of land," Krivanek said. "He was an avid conservationist." Interested in the plants of the Southeastern United States, Cooley spent a great deal of time on Sanibel, iden- tifying and mounting specimens of local flora. In 1955, he published what has become a landmark study, "The Vegetation of Sanibel Island." It first appeared in the Journal of the New England Botanical Club and was then published at Harvard University. During his subsequent years, Cooley and his wife spent their winters on Sanibel, staying at the Island Inn. He became increasingly aware of the need to conserve envi- ronmentally sensitive lands and for 20 years was a member of the national board of governors of the Nature Conservancy. He helped set up the conservancy's revolving land fund. . He was among the group of islanders who established the SCCF in 1967. He was instrumental in arranging with the Nature Conservancy a $1 million loan, subsequently repaid and which enabled the SCCF to purchase its initial 265-acre tract, the site of today's Nature Center. He spent many hours on the tract, cutting brush, establishing trails and serving as a trail guide. He was responsible for the SCCF Herbarium. In 1978, he became a member of the board of trustees. . .'••. : .•,•,'•.•• He was also among the first to recognize the devastating impact of the intrusive Brazilian pepper tree. His efforts to halt the spread of that noxious invader earned him the nick- name, "Dr. Pepper." He was often seen on SCCF trails pulling young peppers. After his death, his wife Myra continued to spend win- ters on Sanibel and his daughter did the same after retiring as supervisor of elections in Hillsborough County in 1993. Like her father, Krivanek is interested in plants and is a strong supporter of the SCCF.

More than 7,000 people came through the gates of last weekend's Sanibel/Captiva Rotary Club Arts and Crafts Fair, a total that was far in excess of last year, according to Rotarian John Turansky.

The juried show awarded first through third places in three categories. Taking top honors in the two-dimensional art category was Peter Bailey, a painter from Melbome Beach. Winning the three-dimensional art category was Carol Wansley, a potter from Alpharetta, Ga. And winning the creative crafts division was Donna Pfleger, a glass artist from Spring Green, Wis. Proceeds from the fair — Rotary's biggest event of the year and the third largest arts and crafts show in the state — benefit scholarship programs and activities for island youngsters.
