Thank You Sanibel!! You started something. You financed and created a campaign of hundreds of people spanning the political spectrum across Lee County — people who just want to solve important local problems!

We want OUR county government to focus on the people it serves, not on protecting the bureaucracy and politics- as-usual.

Our world has changed. To thrive and survive our increasing fuel costs, new energy options, pollution, climate-change, and recession of monumental local impact — government, business, non-profits, media and individuals must work together. 37,000 Lee County people are job hunting. 600,000 pay too much county tax for too few services.

Together we can stop over-taxing and protect core services, utilize retiree talents to attract new employers, help our small businesses survive and thrive. We can shift to tomorrow’s economy while protecting our environment and the quality of life that makes our west coast unique. Public service requires actions, not words to make a difference for taxpayers.”

“All politics is local,” and all solutions start at home with participants, not spectators. Please, keep participating.

Sanibel, I thank you for caring!

Bath, who had served on the board as treasurer from 2007 to 2009, moved to Sanibel in 2000 with his wife, Gillian. He has been active in CROW, FISH, Sanibel- Captiva Conservation Foundation and St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, where he was treasurer. From 2002 to 2006, he also worked on the board of the Quality of Life Center in Dunbar, Fort Myers. The center is dedicated to helping families and children in the Dunbar community, where there are high rates of unemployment and poverty. Prior to moving to Sanibel, Bath spent 33 years with Procter and Gamble, where he held positions as director of product development and product research manag- er. He and his wife also owned and ran an active, 80-acre equestrian center in Oxford, Ohio. Their younger daughter, Julie, now manages the farm, which the Baths visit David Bath each summer. Bath was born in London, was a wartime evacuee, and served two years with the British peacetime army in Germany. He and his wife arrived in the US in 1964 with their two daughters; they all became naturalized U.S. citizens in the 1970s. The Committee of the Islands was founded in 1975 by those who helped incor- porate Sanibel as an independently governed city within Lee County. Its mission is to help preserve the unique and natural characteristics of the island and to help provide for the continuity of good local government. More information is available at its web- site at coti.org.

Bailey finished the ceremony by giving a short talk about highlights in the property’s history, after which everyone walked down a cleared path to see the famous old house and its grounds. They were treated to refreshments and a blown-up photo of five-year- old Francis standing on the property. “I know this will be a tremendous challenge, particularly in this economy,” added Lindblad. “But, forgiving my grammar, we can’t not do this. This is an unbelievable 2240 Periwinkle Way opportunity to ‘keep Sanibel Sanibel,’ and we’ll need unprecedented support if we’re to be successful.” Next to the Schoolhouse Theater To make a donation, contact Lindblad at SCCF at 472-2329 or Giattini at 395- 2768, or mail a check to PO Box 839, Sanibel, FL 33957, or via email at elindblad@ sccf.org or [email protected]. 239-395-1919 24 ISLAND SUN - NOVEMBER 5, 2010 A Tribute To The Music Of World Meet Dancing War II With The Andrews Brothers With The Islands’ he Off Broadway Stars Contestants Palm Theatre is kick- aureen Valiquette is one of six ing off its 15th season T contestants in Dancing with with the musical comedy the Islands’ Stars scheduled for The Andrews Brothers M Saturday January 22 at The Community November 4 through House on Sanibel.

The Bait Box was founded in 1917 by lifelong Sanibel resident Ralph Woodring. Esperanza Woodring was born on Cayo Costa in 1901 and spent more than 75 years on the waters around Sanibel as a commercial fisher and as a fishing and shelling guide. She was a master at the art of casting a net, thus was born the Esperanza Woodring Memorial Cast net Rodeo. START is a grass roots organization and is a member of the Red Tide Alliance which is composed of Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota and Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg. This alliance focuses on developing programs that monitor, con- trol and mitigate red tide. More informa- tion can be found at www.start1.com ISLAND SUN - NOVEMBER 5, 2010 3B

But we’re turning a new chapter today for racing history could unfold tomorrow, Saturday, at Churchill Downs when many believe the greatest race horse in history will retire undefeated after winning her 20th consecutive race. Her name is Zenyatta, a magnificent big six-year-old mare, who has raced in 19 races and won them all while amassing $6.5 million in earnings. Not bad for a horse the owners paid just $60,000 to buy. It’s an interesting coincidence that Zenyatta’s run for history takes place while a marvelous movie, Secretariat, is now appearing. Secretariat is the last horse to win the Triple Crown and has been acclaimed the greatest race horse in history. Should Zenyatta gallop to victory tomorrow, history must decide who is No.1. We do recommend the film Secretariat. It’s a movie young and old will find inspir- ing and entertaining. Now back to Zenyatta and tomorrow’s Breeders’ Cup, considered the most pres- tigious race of the year. Should the California-based mare repeat her 2009 victory, she’ll retire in luxury having won an additional $3 million for her owners, Jerry and Zenyatta Ann Moss. But remember, Zenyatta is the oldest thoroughbred and the only girl that will On 60 Minutes, Smith proclaimed, “I think she could arguably go down as one of answer the call to the post at Louisville’s Churchill Down’s tomorrow.

Is Twins Former GM Terry Ryan Looking for a New Job? The Chicago Tribune reported last Sunday that Terry Ryan, the former long-time general manager of the Minnesota Twins, may be interested in returning as a major league GM. Ryan, who is credited with building the continued winning success of the Twins, was seen at the New York Mets training facility in Port St. Lucie shortly before the Mets hired Sandy Alderson as their new GM. 2010-2011 Phil Rogers, the Tribune’s veteran baseball writer, said the management of the Chicago Cubs should get on the telephone immediately to offer Ryan a position at the Sanibel Youth top of the Cubs’ baseball operations.

If you own property both here and in another state, then it Third Bunt’s Ball Busters 20 28 might make sense to consider Florida residency. Florida has no state income tax or estate tax. In years past Florida used to have Fourth One Ball Wonders 19 29 an intangible tax, but that has since been abolished. Further, if you own a home in Florida that is your primary residence, you can declare it to be your Florida homestead. The Save Our Homes law limits the annual increase in the Sanibel Cafe 8 Fresh Legion Crew 8 assessed value of the property. Over time these types of savings usually add up signifi- Bunt’s Ball Busters 9 One Ball Wonders 7 cantly. Since Florida has no state income tax, your unearned income (usually in the form of interest and dividends) generally avoids state level income tax. If you continue to Sanibel 8-Ball Pool League earn income in a state that has an income tax, however, even if you become a Florida resident that earned income is likely to continue to be taxed in that state. Fresh Legion Crew Saved The Day Many people wrongfully assume that if they don’t spend six months or more a year in Florida then they can’t become a Florida resident. Florida doesn’t impose resh Legion Crew Captain Tom Hensel saved the day for his team by winning time requirements. Instead it’s really a matter of intent.

The difficulty often times arises with your former home state. Many northern states Sanibel Café Captain Richard McCurry ran the table after the break by Gator Gates do impose time requirements – indicating that even if you consider yourself a resident leaving Gates with seven balls left on the table. McCurry exclaimed, “Oh, look at that!” of another state, if you spend a certain amount of time or conduct certain activities in and asked that all players come to the table to witness the results of his first time ever that state the state will continue to consider you a resident and will therefore expect table run. McCurry won three out of four games as did his teammate, Jack Dalton, you to pay the requisite taxes. who is quickly proving that the $600 he spent to attend a professional pool school These sorts of laws should be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine was a wise investment. whether your fact pattern would put you in an advantageous position or not. Bunt’s Ball Busters Captain Bob Buntrock had a perfect 4-0 night against Butch As far as your estate plan, if you become a Florida resident it is usually a very good Bouchard who kept scratching on the break. Teammates Dave Doane won three and idea to update your plan to Florida law. Every state’s laws are different, including Ken Rasi won two to help the Ball Busters to their 9-7 finish and a jump ahead to Florida’s. While your will or trust that is validly drawn in another state remains valid, third place. Both Doane and Buntrock had table runs against their opponents and the differences in state law could result in adverse or unintended consequences. refrained from asking all players to come look at the results ala Richard McCurry. One such consequence is with regard to your Florida homestead. Florida law con- tains very specific descent and devise laws surrounding who you may leave your home to.

So even if you created your trust before you became a Florida resident, and then placed your Florida home into it, the devise inside Presenting Sponsor Named of that trust becomes invalid the minute you declare Florida residency. This has noth- ing to do with the tax laws, by the way.

The regular maintenance of anything 495,00049595,000 Tis mundane, middle of the work week type stuff. There $7,495,000$7,49 usually is no instant gratification or tangible item that is derived from having routine maintenance done. The only time we think about routine maintenance is after something goes wrong Considering All Offers and our service provider says, “This probably could have been avoided if you had kept up with the routine maintenance.” This, of course, is the last thing you want to hear in a crisis situation. It always seems to happen at the most inopportune time. For instance, you have a big trip planned for the next day, and your car goes on the fritz. Another classic is you have every individual that you know coming from up north to visit you here in sunny Florida. A quick note about that: since I moved to Florida almost 20 years ago, I sure have a lot more friends and family that want to visit, in fact more than I knew I even had. But back to the subject at hand. Everyone is coming to visit and the day before you say, “Boy, it’s getting hot in here.” You go over to the thermostat and make it a couple degrees cooler, but an hour later you look at the thermostat and its getting warmer rather then cooler. Instant panic sets in. What’s a hot sweating body to do? Should I call for service? Here’s a quick rundown of what to check before calling for service: check that the thermostat is set properly, check your breakers and, finally, check your humidistat. If this doesn’t take care of the problem, call for service. Back to the subject of routine maintenance. This should be performed every six months. A standard maintenance call will include checking the accessible ductwork, taking temperature and pressure readings, cleaning or replacing the filter, checking the thermostat for calibration, clearing drain lines and, finally, looking at the system as a whole. If this is performed on a regular basis you can expect a much higher degree of reli- ability and avoid the sinking feeling you get when your service provider says, “This probably could have been avoided…” Bryan Hayes is a Sanibel air conditioning contractor.

A Maori ceremony in New Zealand

Sydney Opera House submitted by Patty Molnar ia Ora” is the standard Maori greeting and, like “aloha,” covers “thank you,” “good luck,” “good health” and, when used to address a group, “K“hello.” Now that we are in New Zealand, we are still “goin’,” instead of “doin’,” as in “how you goin’?,” and in the morning if we’re alert and ready to go, we’re “a box of fluffy ducks.” Before we arrived in New Zealand, we spent three days in Sydney, Australia’s most populous city of 4.2 million. On the first day we toured the Opera House, which as everyone knows is one of the world’s iconic buildings. Opened in 1973, it also developed into one of the great boondoggles of our time. Submitting the sketches in a contest for the building’s design, the winning Danish architect apparently had not given much thought as to how to actually build it! Eventually he did come up with an ingenious engineering design that was so arduous and complicated that construction took 10 years and $107 million. Because his original proposal was for three years and $15 million, the delays and cost overruns put him crosswise with the city govern- ment, which stripped him of most of his authority over the project. So he returned to Denmark, never to see the completion of his masterpiece. We were lucky to get tickets to a performance of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Milford Sound in New Zealand the last evening of our stay in the city. On our second day in Sydney we drove to the nearby Blue Mountains where we ended in the late 1850s.
