l i e Christmas tree has been dismantled; fee gaily-colored balls and ornaments paefced away for anotheryear; New Year's Eve with its hopes and hangoversis past. Hie party hats have been discarded, thewreaths packed away and Christmas, 1977, is rapidlybecoming a memory.

"Hie holiday spirit shone brightly this year forIslanders. The Sanibel Elementary School and theKiwanians put on a fine program, the lions sold theirsought-after trees and we made oar way up and downthrough Periwinkle traffic with a modicum of goodcheer. But now, as everywhere else, it is back to'business as usual.

The Islands, in 197?, saw many things change theface of our fragile environment.

The Estuaries case was defeated, but there were anunprecedented number of living units built on Sanibeleven with an Island-wide moratorium oa waterpermits.

Ir wasn't a particularly ii^rmamous year, W7T, TheIslands were splintered into growth-no^rowta fac-tions that will likely characterize a foreseeable splitfor many upcoming issues. But is it necessary? Is itreally required that Islanders place themselves inadversarial positions on issues that could indubitablybe better handled out of courtrooms?

A city council that trxly Mstens is the first step. Andit would be wise to remind everyone that we arefarther along that particular path than many. But notfar enough. Maybe itisour fault. Maybe we don't talkto our representatives as often as we should. Perhapswe confine our opinions to issues that have alreadyreached the definitive stage. Hindsight is always 20-20.

On the other hand, we most, feel that our opinionsare considered.

The division on the islands feat seems to be growingis both worrisome and, one would think, unnecessary.Sanibel and Captiva boast probably a more educatedand cultured populace than almost any other in thearea. There is certainly no shortage of ability. Theway is relatively clear-given one basic precept:cooperation.

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are not officially atwar but they are gearing up for battle. Before thathappens, with its toll in friendships and finance,doesn'titmake sense to try one more time. Everyonewill have to give somewhat, but if the factions on feeisland agree to sit down together over the differentissues, there might be a compromise reached.

The islands have overwhelming concerns thataffect us all-water, sewage, roads, ts name just afew. We need the best from everyone to help solvethese. To draw battle lines with each other seems tobe a last resortf a very last resort.

Every dime, every ounce of esergy it takes to fightthose battles with each other detracts from the ef-fectiveness of a combined effort on other fronts.Everyone has to yield something. We simply cantafford the ultimate cost this friction will take: not in

. time, not in money and aot in the relationships thatmake our island world go *round.

It seems that this, the beginning of a new year, is anauspicious time for a reevalaation of goals andmethods to see if we can't align the two. For, in thelong run, the only people who stand to benefit fromthis cooperation is us. Can you think of a betterreason?

city reviews causewayalternatives today

The ISLANDER Tuesday, January 3,1978

The city council will consicterrecoBimensiatioBs made last week byattorney James Humphrey at today'scouncil meeting regardng the neststep in the laborious bond revalldationcase, Humphrey, former attorney forLee County, is acting as a special at-torney for the county fe Hie case.

Judge Thomas Shands denied ap-proval of a petition by Lee County lastTuesday to sell 118 million in Causewaybonds to finance the cms^y's roadprogram.

In mating Ms decision, Judge Standsapplied the "benefit" criteria assuggested by the supreme cotfft-«criteria that stipulates tttat only thoseactually receiving the benefits of theroad program should cGatribBte to theplan and those contributing shouldreceive the benefits.

Although Shands did not indicate aprocedure, he did say that a l theSanibel projects qualified under thattheory.

"What seemed like a disasteryesterday,'* said Humphrey at thespecial session of the Council last week,"might tuna oat to be beneficial."Instead of the M percent Aare of the

ncing money that is currently\ ited In an interlocal agreement

between Sanibel and Lee County,nearly all of the funds might be appliedto island* road* projects.

Of the several alternatives to be

considered today, Humphreyrecommended that the decision beappealed immediately to the SupremeCourt while other possible avenues arebeing investigated,

Humphrey suggested the idea ofsubmitting a new petition to the courtcontaining only the Sanibel projectsendorsed by Judge Shands,

Humphrey also recommendedreviewing Sanibel and Captiva Headprojects and possibly submitting amore complete list.

Humphrey then introduced an ideahe bad broached to the county com-missioners—that of selling thecauseway to Sanibel. (toe Lee Countycommissioner had expressed severedoubts about that idea because of theunincorporated status of Captiva.Sanibel resident Paul Howe suggestedto the council that they entertain theidea of a 99-year lease. Humphreyindicated that might also be a feasiblealternative.

The final suggestion Humphreymade to Council was to take the issue tothe state government and seek a re-definition of "approach roads,"

Humphrey requested that citycouncil make a decision at today'smeeting to pursue one of the previousalternatives. If an appeal Is filed withthe Florida Supreme Court, Humphreysaid that he expected a decision withinthree to six months.

commentarylegislating good taste

Although concern has been ex-pressed by Sanibel residents &at thelocal government has too much controlover Wand life, there is one area whereit definitely doesn't have the control itshould, That area is design criteria forMaud buaMngs, particularly thosealong the main Island thoroughfare.

"The P. and B, Oyster Co. is onenotable exception to an afffiettos tiiatseems to be sweeping other Islandbuilders that somehow drives them toput up buildings that are just plainugly.

Does it matter, I hear you all mutter.The building is functional and that iswhat counts. Yes it does matter and itmatters in a way that directly concernsfine developer-in the poefcetbook.

Hie Islands attract people who ap-preceiate the serenity of our Iropicalparadise; they come here because it isunique. Of course we need shops, of-fices and fast food establishments, butthey should complement theuniqueness of the Mauds, not detractfrom it.

Use recent holiday should tell us that.For the first time, there were motels

with unexpected vacancies. Accordingto Island shopkeepers, the reason theykept hearing was that the Islands werelosing their charm.

We need our visitors; no one disputesthat. But we won't have them if wekeep constructing buildings that lookas if they should be in West PalmBeach rather than on the Islands.

In shopping centers, especially themore attractive ones, all store frontsmust be approved by a central designcontrol authority. Cities do its too.Claremont, California for one. Becausesomeone exercised prudent design

control, Claremont has the only rust-colored roof in the country on a HowardJohnson motor lodge. Neon orange justdid not fit in with their ambiance.

Who exercises the design authority isvery important. In Claremont, it was acommittee of talented, successful areaartists who reviewed new design plans.

It is too late to alter existing struc-tures but before another goes up, somesort of review process should be in-stituted. It is too bad that it i?-necessary, but necessary it seems tu,be. • '

editorHowe onThe Editor

It was quite a shock to me to hearrecently that the Maud's crows areravaging coastal Southwest Florida -much as the ancient Huns did to theknown world in years gone by.

My informants are a believablesenior-citizen couple who claim twodecades or more in observations of ourMM life on these Islands as well asPine Island, Cape Coral, efce. Theyimpressed me with their esoteric talkof the scientific names, relativenumbers, and habits of birds in thisarea and those in their pennananthome up North. I must confess to amuch more limited ornithological

experience that was confined topleasurable but casual observations ofour feathered friends with little effortsto probe their living habits or learntheir scientific names or relationships.

We had been discussing the generalsubject of the City's drive to eliminateexotic trees claimed to be crowding outour so-called "native" ones. Thecouple quite vehemently switched theconversation, however, to therhetorical question: "If destructiveplants are to be eliminated from-Sanibel, why dont they do somethingabout the swarms of crows that aretaking over the islandby consuminglarge quanities of eggs and nestlings of

many Mods of smaller birds, andganging-up to Mil even larger birds;and rapidly purging the Island of manybeneficial types of birds - even in BingDarling Sanctuary.?"

Their startling query took me aback.I bad heard of the devastating sorties ofcrows on cornfields. But crows neverwere associated in my mind with thelarger winged predators of other birds.When recently resurrected C. R. O. W.organization was operating near myhome in the Rocks Area, I did noticethat a large number of crows wereattracted to my back-yard. Theirswarming effectively put my yard off-limits to the many other types of birds

that usually visited for a drink at thebird-bath. (The crows insistentcawing, was indeed, not conducive tomy lying in bed much beyond sun-up.)

It is my suggestion, therefore, thatCity Hall now appoint an ornithologicalcommittee to appraise and recommendcorrective action of the claims thatI heard. I would also urge that thesuggested new committee bespecifically commanded to report withmore haste than the languishing onethat has been "studying" thedespoliation of our shell life in certainshore areas of the Island.

Sincerely,Paul A. Howe

camera shy?

by kay praft

Fortunately for the Pidceos there arenot many people on the Maud orelsewhere who feel like the grand-mother of a friend who recently toldthis story:

Someone wanted to photograph aa 88-year-oW grandma <juite a while ago batshe said, tartly, sitting up straight as aramrod: "Absolutely not, No pietares,TTiey don't make cameras Mice they

used to".It seems odd, considering modern-

techniques in the field, that her remarkcould be debatable, hat Susie Pickenssaid just the other day that in someways it is. the Ptckeas are the proudowners of a eoileetiott of old camerasand apparently all the progress madesince our ancestors* time has not beenable to catch the depth and specialtones that some of the old lensescapteed. People find it hard to sit stilllong enough for photo portraits these,in any event.

Ever since this talented

moved to Sanibel and opened theirphotographic sales center for businessin April, 1873, their progress has beenwidely publicized ia the local media.

Jim, often called been because hisfather's name is Jim, came to Sanibelwhen - as he said - "I was too yousg toprotest. . ." His father and mothercame from Girardeau, Missouri,bought a piece of land here where thePhoto Sanibel set-*ip is now located, asof Dec, 1974. Father Jim and mother• "Joe" live at the east end of the Islandon Seagrape Lane. Hie whole en-terprise is a family affair,

Susie comes from Witicha Falls,Texas. A year and a half ago her fatherdied and her mother, Nellie Alexander,now lives with the young Pfckens in asmall apartment fixed up for her intheir home which is part of the newconstruction of thestudio, Susie saysit's great to have a grandmother onhand and the two daughters, Robin, 12,

My relatives have relatives Inever knew existed imtil I moved to our islandparadise.

Being of the persuasion that when one hands you alemon, the best idea is to make lemonade, this columnwill feature family-oriented recipes that are siare todelight your vTsiotrs.

no brown thumbs allowedGrowing piants outdoors is one thing,

but to have exotic plants inside is quiteanother task, says Florida Nur-serymen and Growers AssociationCFNGA). It can be (tone if fee rightselections are made. Hare are tea thatalmost anyone can grow, even with a"brown thumb."

Chinese evergreen (AglaoRema) haslong been oae of the favorites. For atime, only the sold green type wasused. Today there are many newspecies that wM add color to the in-terior decor. AgJaonema requires verylittle light. It can tolerate overwatering, dry soil and other abases. Ofcourse, if it is grown correctly, theplant will look much better. It isrelatively inexpensive. With amaiiman of care, this plant will beattractive for many mouths, maybemany years.

Boston sword-fern CNephrolepis)probably has more variation than anyother fern. It is a plant that has beengrown inside for many years, Many ofthe fancier species were sports of thisnative Florida fern. Boston fernrequires medium light, art too far fromabrightwrodtaw. It caa tolerate dry soiland yet responds to heavy watering.Use a large emtsiiter as it grows veryrapidly. Some species may have frondsmeasuring up to live feet.

Dracaena cDracaena) belongs to alarge group that are frequently grown

as specimens. Marginata which hasnarrow green leaves with reddishmargins is valued by many homeowners. Its long slender trunks aretopped with the leaves. Grow on the dryside.

Weeping fieus CFicus Benjamina) istruly the aristocrat of interior trees. Itmust be acclimated before movinginside. However, once it has adjusted tothe light of the home, it will grow formany years. E has a graceful weepinggrowth with very fine leaves. ThisFicus makes an excellent plant forlarge urns or tubs.

False aralia {Dizygotbeea elegan-tissima) is considered a coarse plantby some. On the contrary, it has a verydelicate leaf. Its slender growth lendsan elegant air to any room. Juvenileleaves are much smaller than matureones. False aralia needs high light,indirect, for best growth and quality.

Pothos (Eppremnum aureum) isone of the toughest of house plants.Marble queen can be grown in low tomedium light. It is excellent forhanging baskets or small containers. Itwill also grow in water. Provide atotem pole for this plant to climb andyou have a great specimen.

Episeia CEpiseia) may be a littledifficult to grow. However, thevariations of foliage and flowers aremore than worth the effort. Keep thisplant very warm. It needs strong light.

holiday traffic hits peakOfficials of the Lee County Depar-

tment of Transportation (DOT) saythat there were more cars travelling onIsland roads last week than everbefore.

At the request of Sanibel city of-ficials, DOT conducted traffic countslast Wednesday, December 28, at thebusy intersection of Donax Street andPeriwinkle Way.

Official results of the count were notavailable in time for our deadline forthis issue, although an unofficial tallyrevealed that almost 17,000 vehiclestravelled eastbound on Periwinkle Way

during one 24iour period last Wed-nesday. An equal number of cars werecounted travelling westbound onPeriwinkle in the same period.

DOT officials said that 1,500 carswere counted in one hour travellingeastbound during the peak loadingperiod last Wednesday, between 3:00and 4:00 p.m.

Officials of the Sanibel Causewaysaid unofficially that an average of5,000 vehicles came across the bridgeeach day last week.

Official results of last week's trafficcount will be submitted to city officialswhen available.

the united way—what it does for you part 2 m the seriesAmong the 13 social service

organizations funded by the UnitedWay drive is the Lee County Chapter ofthe American Red Cross in Fort Myers,With the United Way drive scheduled tobegin on the islands this month TheISLANDER Is publishing a series ofarticles exploring the many waysislanders, and Lee County as a wholeare affected by these agencies, andillustrating where dollars donated tothe United Way are utilized......

Although the hurricane season is nowbehind us there's a storage area on theIsland that remains ready at all timeswith supplies to serve should anynatural or unnatural disaster occur.The American Red Cross Disaster

^ e r v i c e s unit is the keeper of the closet.jrThe unit encompasses a multiple

number of ready aids for disastervictims, ranging. It's from immediatefirst aid, clothing and shelterassistance, to helping victims restorethemselves to normalcy followingtragedies.

In their new location at 2146Broadway, Fort Myers American RedCross staffers and volunteers work ona variety of programs-blood donorrecruitments, work with juveniledeiiquents and youthful offenders incourts and correctional Institutions,water safety programs training in-stndL'tors in first aid, swimming,lifeskving, and boating, aid to* ser-vicemen and their families aroand theworld, veterans representativeprograms aiding servicemen, andformer servicemen ia obtainingbenefits, an extensive volunteerprogram providing Boo-paM personnelin places that need help-health cen-

ters, schools for the handicapped,mental hospitals, welfare depart-meats-any where where help Isneeded, as well as courses for ex-pectant mothers in health and infantcare.

One of the most important andutilized services of the local chapter isits nursing and con velescent careprogram administered by SherylCampbell, director of nursing services.Dan Lindstrom, the services tomilitary families and volunteers unit;Ann Jones is staff director of the SafetyPrograms, and Sue Goldhammer,government grant, shares the duties ofDirector of Disaster Services andPublic Relations. With the exception ofAnn Jones, all personnel are part of theCJE.T.A. government funded program.

Barry Hall is Chapter Manager of allservices and volunteer and paid staffemployees of the local chapter.Hanging on the wall of the Chapter'soffices is its original charter signed onJune 25, B17 by then PresidentWoodrow Wilson.

Regularly stories of emergency RedCross aid appear in the newspapersillustrating the ever compassionatenature of their daily duties. Recentlythere was the story of the young localservicemen who was in a comatosestate following an accident inCalifornia, He was not expected to liveand his parents did not have the fundsto travel to be with him, perhaps for thelast time as he lay miles away in ahospital. Tim local chapter provided anairline ticket for the father, and a storyin local newspapers brought donationsfrom readers enabling the nwtter toalso visit her son,

Edison Community College studentsstudying on the GX tail are aided inobtaining their veterans benefits bytwo A.R.C. volunteers who are basedon campus.

Recently two courses in first aid andeardiopulmanary resusication wereorganized by the A.R.C. on the Islandswith classes slated to he hald at theLighthouse Resort Club. Howeverlimited enrollment forced their can-cellation according to Sue Goldham-mer, "We are still interested inbringing not only our educational of-ferings but the full range of our ser-vices to the attention of islanders andinvite inquiries concerning particularneeds of individuals or groups to 334-3401," she said.

Because of the diversified ethnic andnational backgrounds of the Americanpeople, there is hardly a conflict or adisaster in any part of the world thatdoes not affect someone in this country.

When tragedies occur, the Red Crossis often the only means of com-munication between concerned personshere and their relatives abroad. Recentheadline events all over the world havebrought home to many Americans thevital role that the Red Cross plays ininternational communications.

The local A.R.C. can render in-ternational aid by liasion with theOffice of International Services (OIS)at Red Cross national headquarters inWashington which is able to provideinternational communications throughits ongoing relationships with 122national societies (including the MagesWvid Adorn in Israel), the League ofRed Cross Societies, and the In-ternational Committee of the RedCross.

In time of disaster, in addition toproviding communications, the Officeof International Services transmits thegenerous contributions of theAmerican people to the national societyof the country involved in the disaster.OB coordinates its efforts with those ofthe League of Red Cross Societies inidentifying specific kinds of help needand putting requests into properchannels.

Americans detained abroad bycircumstances beyond their controlalso receive Red Cross assistance inthe form of mail and packages tran-smitted through the InternationalCommittee which also negotiates onbehalf of the detainees.

On the basis of reciprocalarrangements with certain nationalsocieties, Americans hospitalizedabroad may have their blood needs metby the local Red Cross, and the A.R.C.provides blood needed by citizens ofthese countries when they arehospitalized here.

An American tourist on a visit toanother country became so seriously illthat he was at the point of death.Special medications were forwarded tothe national society in that country bythe American Red Cross. The patientrecovered sufficiently to be able toreturn to the United States by plane.

On a local level new Americans, suchas the thousands of refugees fromSoutheast Asia, are assisted by RedCross chapters through their In-ternational Services Committees.Their service range from helping newfamilies learn the resources of thecommunity to aiding them in obtainingcitizenship papers.

interval ownership: an emerging island industryby Rtcl* Arthurs

"What in a» world is intervalownership and what's it doing onSanibel Island?"

It is extremely rare to find someonein the advertising business who canpose a simple question vital to theconsumer's understanding of theproduct being sold, and eves lesscommon to find a salesman who cananswer the questions posed in astraightforward manner that theconsumer can understand. This,however, is the beauty of a relativelynew real estate concept called intervalownership which seems to be workingout to the satisfaction of everyone fromdevelopers to purchasers.

According to Islander KeithTrowbridge, founder and president of afast-growing Mand-based corporationcalled Captran, fee., the concept ofinterval ownership is the next logicalstep in the evolution of two increasinglyimportant human nee* la the modemage: land ownership and the vacation.

"Ownership of real estate by in-dividuals is a fairly recent phenonieiiin tamsn history, dating fr&m aboutthe end of the feudal age," Trowbridgeexplained to a recent interview.

"Originally, real estate was sold intwo dimensions - the length and widthof a parcel of land," Itowixidgecontinued. "Later, as humanpopulations increased, the heightelement became a factor in real estatedevelopments as man built tallerbuildings to accomodate mote peopleon the same piece of land."

"The vacation is also a very recentinnovation," Tarwfaridge added. "Forthe common man, vacations onlybecame prominent in file i W s , andthe great American vacation in thefamily car dicfa't really come aboutuntil the Mghwaj-bailding boomMowing Worid War DL At a point inthe late 195Q's and early wm% the readestate and vacation industries cametogether to produce an entirely newindustry to vaeatten tames for theaverage income American, and therapid rise of condominiums in mostresort areas represents the outgrowthof this new market."

"The second-home market wasreally booming until abort: three yearsago, when Congress repealed the oldtax structures which made It finan-cially advantageous to own a vacation

home," he said. "At that point, themarket for vacation homes stampedand condominium sales declined."

Trowbridge contends that intervalownership is the simple and logicalanswer to the vacation home dilemmafor both the little man and thedeveloper, an elementary conceptcombining traditional marketingmethods with Einstein's fourthdimension: time.

"Hie idea of interval ownership wasfirst introduced in Europe over adecade ago under the guise of "tune-sharing," a term which is not strictlysynonymous with interval ownership.

Following the pioneering lead of LeClub Hotel in Paris, many Europeanresorts began marketing their units ona time-sharing basis in which a personcould pay a fee for the use of an in-dividual resort unit for a given periodof the year for a specified number ofyears.

The practicality of the idea is obviousand rather stunning in its simplicity. Itallows the vacationer to purchase theresort unit for the exact length of timehe will use it, thus relieving Mm fromthe obligations of maintenance,upkeep, and the problem of renting theunit during the remainder of the year torecover his investment. Most notably,it offers the man of small means aguarantee that he will have a luxuryvacation home for years to come at astatic, and more importantly,moderate cost.

The time-sharing concept caught onrapidly in Europe, which today boastsmany such resorts. According to of-ficials of the Resort Ttme*SiaringCouncil, a national organization born ofthe American Land DevelopmentAssociation in Washington, D.C., theconcept first appeared in this countryin 1968 in Fort Lauderdale, but hisproject was described as "abortive."

The first successful time-sharingresort in the United States was foundedin 1972 at Lake Taboe, and the industryhas grown steadily ever since. As feeIndustry grew, occasional abuses intime-sharing marketing methods cameto Ight and attracted the attention offederal and state legislators, and bynow some states have enacted laws toregulate tMs young, growing industry.

The State of Floirda, in particular,has adopted a very tight set ofregulations to govern ttaeHsfaaringresorts, Keith Trowbridge was an

active advocate of such necessarymeasures. In October, 1976,Trowbridge appeared before the statecabinet to explain the practicaldistinction between time-sharing andinterval ownership and assist statelegislators in drafting regulations toeffectively control both industries.

As a result of such positive inputfrom Florida developers, state lawmandates a 15-day reeision period,certain escrows, and other consumer-protection measures for time-sharingresorts in the sunshine state.

Bat interval ownership, a conceptwhich evolved from time-sharing, is ahorse of a different color, and Sanibeldeveloper Keith Trowbridge is a leaderin this new field, as well as being theman who introduced interval owner-ship on Sanibel.

Unlike the framework of time-sharing which is in essence a stipulatedrental or lease agreement over a longperiod of time, interval ownershipprovides the buyer an opportunity tobuild up equity in the resort.

The purchaser of an intervalownership resort unit receives a fullwarranty deed to the unit for a par-ticular time of the year and ownershipof a share of the common amenities ofthe resort. The "unit-weeks" thuspurchased become the buyer's inperpetuity, and like any other piece of

real estate may be sold, raited, orbequeathed to one's heirs.

On Sanibel and Captiva, the price <|faunit-week in an interval ownersiapresort currently ranges from justunder $2,000 to about $7,000, dependingon the si2e of the unit, its proximity towaterfront or common recreationalfacilities within the configuration of theproject, and of course the season of theyear.

Once the initial investment in theunit-week of your choice is made, theinterval owner must pay only an an-nual maintenance fee and, in somecases, a per diem service charge forevery day he uses his unit at theresort. In either case, the annualmaintenance and service fee for theunit comes to between $106 to $150.

AH things considered, ftis ann fe*?'represents a small price to pay formaintenance-free luxury living as wellas equity in a famed resort area suchas Sanibel and Captiva. Intervalownership resorts on the Islands comefully furnished and completelymaintained for the owner's pleasure,such that all the owner must bring withhim for a luxury, worry-free vacationis bis toothbrush.

In both Captiva developments onSanibel, the resort units are equippedwith full home-entertainment units, the

Recreational opportunitiesare provided in abundance, and theowner of a unit-week at PlantationBeach dub, CapHva's premiere in-terval resort, is entitled to free me ofthe many recreatioaal facilities atSouth Seas Plantation.

Too good to be true? KeithTrowbridge says that this is thequestions which troubles mostprospective buyers of intervalownership units. Americans have longbeen taught to be saspicioas of too gooda deal.

Trowbridge said that many peopleworry what wiB happen if some yearthey are unable to use their week orweeks at the resort, of ir they wouldlike to spend tMer annual vacation inanother area, and for these peopleinterval ownership has an answer.

Through membership in one of twointernational organizations, eitherInterval International or ResortCondominiums International (RCI),the owner of an interval unit on theIslands can exchange his week onSanibel for a week in any of over fiftyinterval ownersMfs resorts in this•a&nfcry and abroad. Upon decidingthat be would like to exchange oneyear, fee interval owner places hisunit-week in a pool with numerousother interval owners and exchangesare made. Thas, the owner of a onit-week on IlielSiB^ has the opportunityto spend Ms vacation in one of manyprominent resort areas in the UnitedStates, Canada, Mexico and Hawaii.

TOtte buyers are not advised topurchase a unit-week solely for exc-hange purposes, both Interval In-

ternational and RCI claim to be able toaccomodate desired exchanges over 80per cent of the time.

Owners of unit-weeks in SanibelBeach Club and Lighthouse Resort anddub, the two Island resorts owned byCaptran, are provided with a localservice through which to exchangetheir weeks on the Island with otherowners within the Captran group.

And for those who may worry, whatwould happen to their investmentshould the resort be destroyed by floodor fire, Trowbridge said that theirinitial purchase price and annualservice fees cover fee cost of ampleinsurance to rebuild the resort.

payments as low as $50. PlantationBeach Club at South Seas also affords asimilar plan for financing individualunits on an installment basis.

Why Interval Ownerhsip?

"I orginally came to the Islands tobuild a motel, but I soon realized that itwas economically infeasible to build amotel on Sanibel in this day and age,"said Keith Trowbridge.

Trowbridge readily admits to being atraditional resort developer who optedfor interval ownership when whole-ownership condominium developmentbecame financially impractical.

the president and director of planningof Florida International Universityfrom WIQ to 19?3, he was instrumentalin establishing that state university inMiami.

Keith Trowbridge came to theIslands in 1973 and founded the Spec-trum Development Corporation, wMehwas responsible for the development ofCoquma Beach and Vila Sanibel, low

density condominium projects ON theGulf. He was a partner in TortugasInvestments which developed DonaxVillage on Sanibel, and as president ofthe Casuraine Corporation he in-troduced the first interval ownershipdevelopment on the Islands at SanibelBeach Club at the end of Neritastreet overlooking the Gulf.

Trowbridge says that the decision toadopt the interval ownership mode atSanibel Beaeh Club stemmed from"the realization that whole con-dominium ownership on Sanibel Islandis financially out of the picture forabout 98 per cent of the people, yetmany people still vacation on theIsland year after year."

"The decrease in density broughtabout by the Sanibel comprehensiveland use plan tripled land costs per uniton the Island almost overnight,"Trowbridge said, "so we either had toincrease the cost of the units or findsome means of sharing those higherland costs among more owners."

"Also, I've watched rental costs onthe Islands skyrocketing and realizedthat many people want to use realestate as a hedge to inflation to securetheir future vacation dollars for otherpurposes, such as dining, shopping, orsimply travelling," he added, "andinterval ownership seemed the bestway to go."

"Interval ownership is also a soundidea from the environmental stand-point," Trowbridge said. "It allows usto develop a smaller piece of land toserve a greater number of people. Theconcept does not increase the densityon Sanibel or bring any more people tothe Island at any one time. It simplyallows the man of modest means toenjoy a luxury vacation."

Trowbridge also believes that in-terval ownership will act as a stimulusto the Islands' tourist economy on ayear-round basis.

currently at work doing research, for abook he plans to write to explain themechanics of interval ownership forlayman and businessmen alike.

This past fall, Trowbridge foundedCaptran, Inc., an acronym for "capitalin transition," to manage, maintain,and market Sanibel Beach Qub. Hisoriginal condominium projects onSanibel have all been sold out and theirmanagement assumed by the owners,and as Casuarina Corp. was primarilygeared to construction and develop-ment, Captran has succeeded Keith'sformer corporate entities as the mostactive interval ownership agency onthe Islands, and possibly in all of southFlorida,

In November, Captran acquired 31units at the Lighthouse Point Con-dominiums at Sanibers eastern tipfrom a Swiss investment group for $3.1million in the largest real estatetransaction recorded in Lee County in1377. Hie spacious, 2,000 square-footbayfront units have since been in-corporated into Lighthouse Resort andClub, SanibePs second intervalownership development.

With the recent purchase of theKahlua Motel on Fort Myers Beach,Captran has established the KahluaBeach Club and expanded its intervalownership empire to other resort areasin Lee County.

For Mariner Properties pricipalsBob Taylor and Allen Ten Broek, thedecision to initiate an intervalownership development at exclusiveSouth Seas Plantation Resort onCaptiva was a long time in coming andwas not made without lengthy con-sideration and evaluation of the newconcept.

"We waited an extra two years

before deciding to move ahead with thePlantation Beach dub because wedidn't want to be in the position ofasking prospective purchasers to takethe risk of pioneering a new conceptwith us," they said. "Intervalownership is still relatively new in thiscountry. In the last three years,however, many of the bugs have beenworked out with regard to legal andfinancial considerations in our country.It has matured into_a soundly basedand accepted approach to second homeownership, not just a new concept."

"Interval ownership has growntremendously in popularity for onevery sound reason,"they continued. "Itmakes sense. A good many vacationerswant to invest in property at theirfavorite vacation spot and have theenjoyment of using it from year toyear. Those people want the privacyand special treatment associated withowning their own vacation ac-eomodations, but without being en-cumbered by the cost or worry of theirpossession when not in residence.Owning a iondominium outright is not avery good match for such persons-interval ownership is!"

"Primarily, it enables a lot of peopleto come and use the resort withouthaving to build an individual con-dominium unit for each of them" saidBill Shepard, director of interval salesfor Vacation and InvestmentProperties, exclusive marketingagents for the Mariner Group.

Shepard was previously employed byKeith Trowbridge as president of theSanibel Beach Club managementagency, and they worked together toarrive at the working format for thenew development concept which has

By the Thursday before Christmasstudents and teachers ware countingthe hours of school left until Christmasvacation. Tests were given m manyclasses so students wouidat forgetmaterial or have to do homework.Many classes bad Christmas parties orfree periods.

Eighteen students from Cypressheaded for Boca Raton that Ihursdayafternoon. After spending the night,they went to Florida AtlanticUniversity where they took the CLEPtests. l i e CLEF tests, which are ad-ministered by FAU free of charge, arerequired for admission into the Facultyscholars program. If a student doesbetter than fifty percent of collegesophomores oa few of the five parts heis admitted into the college as a junior.He will then attend the university as ajunior for a year and a half then as asenior for another year and a half. If hegoes during the summer quarter he cangraduate in two and a quarter years.All that went agreed that the tests wereextremely hard. They lasted over sixhours and included sections inmathematics, English composition,social sciences and history, appliedsciences, and humanities. Last yearCypress did the best of ail schools thatwere represented. Mine out of the tenCypress students to take the testspassed. The scores should be back inabout a month.

The Panthers met Sarasota River-view Saturday night in the Panther Pit.It was expected to be a tough game asRiverview came into the game rankedfifth in the state. Cypress played wellthrough the Erst quarter, but fromthere on Riverview dominated thegame. By the half Cypress was losingso badly that Coach Elmer Tremontpot in the second string. Before thecame ended the coach had cleared thebench. It was Cypress's first loss sofans, cheerleaders, and players wereupset. However the second stringplayers were glad to have seen playingtime. Cypress shot a poor, but im-

proving, thirty-eight percent form thefield as they lost 78-48.

Attendance ran low in school onMonday as many students decided tostart their vacation early. In mostclasses very little was accomplishedbecause of the poor attendance.Tuesday wasn't very different exceptthat attendance was still lower. As thefinal bell rang the few students who hadattended schoc! rushed out, eager tostart their thirteen day vacation.

On Thursday night Cypress playedits opening game in the News PressChristmas tournament. They faced aMoore Haven team that was playingwithout the services of its startingcenter. Coach Tremont decided he hadto make some changes in an attempt toget his offense going. Tremont movedGranville Mobley from guard to for-ward along with Doug Reese. He hopedthis would allow Mobley to score more.Many agreed it was Cypress's bestgame of the season. They played as ateam for the first time and it seemed asthough everything they did workedwell.

They played good defense andbefore the final buzzer sounded thebench had again been deared, but thistime in a winning effort.

police aide called thestation from her post onthe beach one day lastweek to report a carheavily loaded with seaoats and other nativebeach vegetation partednear the beach.

Upon the return of thevehicle's owners, theywere accosted by thepolice aide and asked toexplain their possessionof protected beachmsgetation.

mr-The car owners repliedthat the vegetation camefrom a friend's propertyin Key West and refusedto restore the sea oats tothe beach.

The police aide saidthat they were acting toa generally un-cooperative manner and.called the station forassistance, but by thetime that a patrolmancould arrive the suspectshad departed and werenot r<;Wi again.

SPDturned a numberof young visitors to theIsland over to the LeeCounty Sheriffs officialslast week alter ti« grouphad evoked nianereuscomplaints from Islandresidents.

The youngsters werereported to be prowiaiga r o u n d p r i v a t eresidences on the Islandone night tost week.

An Island women eightmonths p r e g n a n tbecame alarmed lastweek after she wasbitten by a wild catwhich roams the resortwhere she resides.

Attempts to catch ortrap the cat. for ob-servation proved futfle,but when the bite did notbecome infected thepossibility of rabies wasruled out and thewoman's consternationsubsided.

Upon investigating adisabled vehicle onPeriwinkle Way one daylast week, SPDdiscovered that the carwas unlicensed, had novalid inspection sticker,and that its driver didnot possess a validdriver's license.

The car was dulyimpounded, but citationsfor the above offencescould not be issued as thevehicle was desable andwas not witnessed bySPD in motion.

SPD escorted anIslander home one sightlast week after he hadcalled fte station andexplained that he was tooinebriated to drive.

Such prudence is rare

in liquor-lovers andmuch to be commended.

SPD received a calllast week from anIslander who found avery young infantcrying in her yard.

By the time patrolmencould arrive to in-vestigate, the infant'smother had turned upand explained that thechildren had left thefront door of their homeopen, allowing thetoddler to toddle out.

An Islander wassurprised one morninglast week to walk out intohis front yard and findhis mailbox gone.

Hie mailbox was laterdiscovered in the weedsa few feet down the road,without the mail whichhad been delivered thatday.

A full investigation ofthe matter by postalservice officials ispending.

stairs and railings at theresort were torn up andused for firewood by anunknown group who hadpartied on the beach thenight before.

A check of firedepartment recordsrevealed mat the grouphad not obtained apermit for the bonfire, sothat identification of thevandals was impossible.

Ultimately, citymaintenance crews werecalled upon to clean upthe mess the vandals hadleft on the beach.

An Islander wasarrested last week for aviolation of the city'sdumping ordinance.

The suspect was ob-served by a patrolman inthe act of dumpingdebris along an Islandroad.

Island police werehappily able to assist anhysterical mother whohad lost her child onSanibel last week.

After an extensivesearch on SanibePsbeach, the six-year-old

lad was found walkingaimlessly along by apatrolman and soonreunited with Ms ecstaticmother.

A group of visitorsapprehended in the act ofsoliciting funds for theUnification Church onthe Islands last weekwere escorted to themainland after it wasdiscovered that they hadno permit from the citywith which to conductsuch solicitation.

SPD was called in tohandle the suspects aftera number of Islanderscomplained about theiractivities.

Another Islanderreported the loss of hismailbox last week.

The missing mailboxcould not be located, andan investigation ispending.

While on routine patrolone day last week, anIsland patrolmanhappened to notice a few

pieces of furniturefloating in the Gulf.

A nearby resort wasnotified to swim out andcollect its furniture.

Emergency serviceson the Islands kept ex-tremely busy last weekas holiday trafficaggravated motoristsand holiday revellersaggravated their neigh-bors.

Aside from theinidivudal reports listedabove, SPD investigatedall of nine traffic ac-cidents last week, twonoise-related com-plaints, one domesticdispute, sought two lostdogs and one lost kitten,secured five insecurepremises, issued fourtraffic citations andrendered miscellaneousassistance on 43 oc-casions.

outdoorson the water

Don't tell m e another year is here,and so soon after last year too. Theytell me this happens when one getsolder, but I secretly suspect that Icaught Kse too many catfish last yearand somehow it wiped out a portion ofmy memory.

Anyway, the first of the year is thetime for goals. They don't have to beparticularly honorable goals, by anymeans, but they should b a r e somemerit , even if they a r e on fee dubioustide.

We a re going to cull a few goals yoigetmight aspire to and we'll just see if ouri»taboat,it'saearlists coincide someplace.

One of my goals has alwayus been tolet a large blue crab, of say, 50 pounds,lose in Bailey's General Store. I wouldbe interested in seeing if customerswould even notiee i t On fee otherhand, would they opes up a s expresslanetoget fee crab quickly through theline? Would the crab find the prices tooh i g h a n d r e f u s e to g o a l o n g wi th feethatyoucan'tsaywillhappes t i n t ? T h e s e a r e t h e k i n d s of q u e s t i o n sthat always plague me at night.

Another goal is to catch the largestshell, of the conch variety,, of perhapsfour feet, send it to be entered in theannual Island Siell Fair t and have thecrab get arrested for drunk driving onthe Sanibel-Captiva Road. This wouldopen up several l ^ a l questions,primarly, how do you get a conch totake a breath test? Where (to you takedrunk conchs to dry out?I s there ajudge who would send a conch to jailduring ihe tourist season <bad press).

One very important goal of mine is tosee If X could go to Bowman's Beachand actually fish. Think of the conflicthere, ttwouldbeatestof eyes, versus

by mike ftiery

feet. The feet would say, "Don't tarnaround," and tbe eyes wbould besaying, "Let me have a look, let mehave a look." If you don't know,Bowman's Beach used to be a nudebeach. I say"used to", because it's notnice, or legal to expose on fee beachanymore. However, human naturebeing what it is . . . there is thechallenge. To really go to Bowman'sjust to fish. Who would believe youanyway, right? Scratch feat one.

One of my most favortie goals Is toget caught up with fixing things. If it'si»t a boat, it's a ear, or a fishing reel ora net or a boat stove. This year, Pmgoing to hire a fix-it man. He's going totake care of all that stuff and probablybetter too. Well, we can dreamanyway.

There is a fein line betweenresolutions and goals, except no oneever really means to keep a resoMion.Resolutions are Mod of far away thingsthat you can't say will happen within acouple of months,

So, for short-range goals, I'm goingto try and be nice when someone tellsme all their fishing line has wrappedaround my propeller; try and smilewhen the people who got to the showerfirst also got to all the hot water first;to mtirake jokes when visiting boatersram our dock; to feed our dock cat;and to be nice when people givegtffls popcomaod fees the guBs f$ overour boat for bombing practice.

And what are goals for? To bend,break and in all conditions remainunattainable, right? So it's the start ofanother year. I listed my improbablegoals. You got any you might want topat down?

island gardeningThe blustery winds of winter can

cause devastating results on many ofthe tender tropical plants in the land-scape, says Florida Nurserymen andGrowers Association (FNGA). Beforeany serious damage results, it is well toconsider some of the alternatives forprotecting them. There is hardly awinter that passes when some frostdoes not occur in the majority of areasin Florida. Only the very southern tipmay escape. Because of the odds infavor of a severe cold blast, it is well tobegin to think about methods ofprotection for your plants.

Plants that are in poor condition willprobably be subject to greater damagethan plants that are healthy. Insect-infested plants may suffer greaterdamage from cold than those withoutinsects. Disease always* weakensplants. All of these problems should becorrected before any severe weatherdevelops, Feed plants properlythroughout the year and fee chancesare they wiH be able to survive lowtemperatures. Of course those plantsthat are strictly of tropical nature wilfreeze regardless of condition unlessproperty protected.

If you live in an area where there is agreat possibility of freezing tem-peratures developing, then plant onlythose plants which are completelyhardy.

Now, for some pointers 00 protectingplants from cold damage.

Never wrap plants with plastic,unless there is something between theleaves and the plastic. Plasticcoverings seem to cause more severedamage than when the plant is left isthe open. Should plastic be considered,there are two ways to be successful.Build a tent over the plant on a frame.

Place a hundred watt bulb beneath thetent. The heat radiated from the lightbulb will protect the plant. If the plantis to be wrapped, use an old blanketwith some insulating qualities-thencover with the plastic material.

Thirty or forty thicknesses ofnewspaper wrapped around fee graft ofa citrus tree can afford protection fromtemperatures in fee low teens. The topmay be completely frozetfbut fee gra r

will survive. In fee home grounds thkis a better method than trying to hillsoil around fee graft. Remove feepaper as soon as fee weather becomeswarm.

Thin sheets offer very littleprotection from cold. About all theywill do is to protect fee foliage fromlight frosts, says Florida Nurserymenand Growers Association (FNGA).

Frequently water is used as a meansof cold protection. A very importantconsideration here is fee amount feat isapplied. Of course fee water is going tofreeze on the leaves and branches. Inorder to be fully protected there tftistbeatleasta quarter of an inch of waterapplied every hour. It is fee heat fromfee water feat prevents the injury tofee branches. Breakage of limbs isalways a problem when ice is formedfrom water applied for cold protection.This should be considered as a sideeffect.

Regardless of fee method of coldprotection, some injury may result.Wait until new growth appears beforedoing any severe pruning. Although aplant may appear completely deadafter a cold winter, do not be hasty indisposing of it. There is a strong rootsystem and fee plant may revive. Youwil be ahead if it does.

Donax St ordinance "invalid"

Horack denied permit

The ISLANDER Tuesday, January 3,1978 27

Circuit Court Judge Thomas Shandsdenied Island developer Robert Hor ackthe temporary injunction he soughtagainst the city of Sanibel in a hearinglast Thursday. Horack bad requestedthe injunction against the city'semergency ordinance f?-55 whichprohibits anyone from obtaining adevelopment permit for land thatrequires servicing from Donax St,

The city eaaeted the ordinance at acouncil session on December 6 afterlearning from an engineering con-

it that Donax was a "failed"According to tt« Howard,

Needles, Tanenbaum and Bergendorfreport, a failed street is one where the

pavement requires such extensivemaintenance, it becomes unfeasible tokeep repairing it.

Hugh Starnes, attorney for BobHorack in the action, told Judge Shandsthat because the condition of Donaxhad been relatively unchanged forseveral months and because the citycouncil had not scheduled any repairsto the street, no real emergency exists.Starnes also pointed out that, althoughthe action took place at a city councilmeeting, there had been no prior of-ficial notice that an ordinance affectingDonax St. was being considered.

"If there were a true emergency, thecity would also limit all heavy traffic,"argued Starnes. l1£ a driver of a fully

loaded cement truck wants to take timeoff for a swim, he can drive that truckright down Donax.'the attorneypointedout.

Shands agreed that the ordinancewas out of order saying that in hisopinion it was "no doubt invalid", Hedenied Horaek a temporary injunctionagainst the ordinance however on thegrounds that Horack could not provethat he had suffered damages and was,therefore, not a proper plaintiff,

"You have not established yourentitlement," Shands told Horack,referring to the fact that Horack hasnot yet finished the necessary ad-ministrative steps for a development

permit."The court is not going to tell either

you or the city how to do your business.The courts have been in that 'positiontoo much lately," said Shands.

"I think it's fair to say that we wonthe war and lost the battle," saiddeveloper David G. Thompson, aspokesman for the group of Islanddevelopers who financed the action.'

City Attorney Neal Bowen said afterthe hearing that his report to today'scity council meeting will include arecommendation that the citydiscontinue the emergency ordinanceon legal grounds when it expires thefirst week of February.

south seas appeals

dodging permitState Hearing Examiner Sen Ortel

announced recently that February ihas been set as the date for an ad-ministrative hearing to be conductedby the Florida Department of EBKvironmental Regulation (DER) on adredging proposal submitted byMariner Properties, Inc. for South SeasPlantation Resort on Captiva.

Early in October, Mariner appliedfor a permit from the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers and state DER for thepurpose of dredging 735 cubic yards ofmaterial from Pine Island Sound tocreate a channel into an existing boatbasin at South Seas.

Later in October, the request metith opposition from the board of

directors of the Sanibel-CaptivaConservation Foundation and other

Island groups and individuals who feltthat the channel dredging proposed byMariner would destroy oyster bars,grass beds and tidal mudflats adjacentto the South Seas boat basin whichserve as productive nursery groundsfor fish and other aquatic life.

A recent report prepared by DERstaff seemed to bear out the theory thatthe dredging would disturb the grassbeds and degrade water quality in thearea and a denial of the permit requestseemed imminent, at which pointMariner officials requested an ad-ministrative hearing to appeal theproposed denial.

According to state HearingExaminer Ortel, the hearing will beheld at 10:00 a.m, on February t in theLee County Courthouse.

charles colson speaks to kiwanis club SaturdayFormer Watergate "bad guy"

Qaries "Qiuek" Colson will speak thisSaturday at the Kiwanians' annualprayer breakfast. According to chaptermembers, the breakfast is a total sell-out, with over 200 people planning toattend the event.

Colson's visit to the area, which alsoincludes a television interview and apublic meeting at SKM Point Village, is

co-sponsored by Florida Laymen, Inc.and Prison Fellowship, an organizationsponsored by Colson.

Sanibel resident Al Hartley is anofficer in Florida Laymen, Inc. andexplains the goals of the organization.

"Radicals and militants are workinghard (in America's prisons) to recruitprisoners to the cause of violence andrevolution. Colson's organization and

others of us are working equally hardto rehabilitate inmates."

Colson's Prison Fellowship isreported to have been remarkablyeffective as a rehabilitation programacross the country.

Colson is the former Special Counselto President Nixon and so-calledilhatehet man" of the Watergatescandal. He has also authored "Born

Again", an intimate view of those in-volved in the governmental conspiracyand tells about his spiritual conversionduring that time.

Contrary to other Watergate figuret J-Colson receives no compensation forhis speaking engagements and turnsover a major portion of his bookroyalties to Prison Fellowship.

The Panama Canal Problem

See the ships in the locks. Locks v\ork like water stairsteps. A ship entersa lock or chamber. The back gate closes. The water flows in or out until itis even with the water level in the next step. The front gate opens and theship sails on. Ships that go through the canal are raised or lowered a totalof 85 feet. They pass throogh a take, three sets of toeks and a long, 8 mileditch.

<)n September 7, President Carter signed the Panama Canal treaty. Ther.S. and Pannroa had been working on a new one for 13 years.

The ProblemIn 1903, the U.S. signed a

treaty or made a deal withPanama.

The treaty gave us controlover 5 miles on each side ofthe canal. We paid Panama$10,0GG»GGG. We agreed to paya yearly rent

Now the people of Panamaare unhappy, H e y want thecanal back.

President Carter signed anew treaty. It would give thecanal back to Panama by theyear 2000. Until then, we alsoagreed to raise the yearly rentout of money we collect fromthe canal

The UB. Senate must O.K.the treaty. For it to pass, 67out of 100 Senators mustapprove. Some do not want wsto give it hack.

The CanalThe Panama Canal is a big

ditch between the Atlantic andPacific Oceans. It is one of thegreatest things ever built by man.

The canal stretches for 51 milesthrough the Isthmus (IS-mes) ofPanama. (An isthmus is a thinstrip of land joining two largepieces of land.)

The French started the canal in1882. Over 20,000 men lost theirlives. Many died from yellowfever caused by mosquito bites.The French gave up. They hadmoney problems, too.

The Americans took over thebuilding in 1904. They cleanedup the places where themosquitoes lived. But 5,600 menlost their lives before the canalwas finished in 1914.

It takes about 9 hours for shipsto go through the canal. Trained§ilots go aboard to guide them.

hips must pay tolls before theycan start through.

Today, 96 out of 100 ships are asize that can go through thecanal. Some aircraft carriers andhuge oil tankers can't.

Look at the pictures and see if you can find:big ship water Soath America

Tuesday, Jaanary 3, 1978 The ISLANDER

rememberingThe end of the year brings i s to the

traditional New Year's Eve past-timeof remembering friends, family andhappenings of the time past.

Remembering did Islanders-and theold Islands*-xs wonderful fun.

One year ago; 1976

Do you remember December 23,1976? I t a t was the day that the lightswent out for almost 12 hours on theIslands. Island phones were out,construction tools wouldn't work, thedrive-in window at the bank wasinoperable and restaurants withelectric cooking facilities were introuble. The Kiwanians still managedto hold their rosebud breakfast atSeotfy'sin the dark and everyonevowed not to let their candle supplyever run low again.

The Planning Commission had ap-proved fee Island Water Association'srequest for the now almost-completedwater tank on Wififert Bead,

Goodnight Mrs. Puffin opened at thePirate Playhouse and Mario Buttonpresented his traditional year-endSpecial photo-verse show for theSaaabet-Captiva Audubon Society.

Twoyearsago: 1975

Two years ago it was a frosty NewYear's Eve to Boston with tem-peratures hovering around 6 abovecompared to a balmy 7$ in southwestFlorida.

Mary Meek announced theengagement of her daughter Mary

Jane to William Bunting and StanBaumann's petition to the PlanningCommission for permission to buildfour more condominiums at Blind Passwas continued because the request wasnot in order.

Four years ago: 1973

Edward J. Bennett wrote in theISLANDER about the old islandholidays when travel to the islands wasstrictly be boat, there were no shoppingcenters and Bailey's store was the firstwelcome sight a returning islandercould see after the ferry left PuntaRassa. Mr. Bennett described how heand his family had made a last minutedecision to come to the Islands for theirChristmas several years ago and werefaced with the problem of doing up aChristmas tree on December 23. Theydecorated the top of a faUen casuarinawith finds from the. beaches-"a treemade with God's things, for God'schildren."

M-A-S-H was playing at the Islanddnema and Dick Murphy had justarrived from Pittsburgh to work at SunDial.

Seven years ago: 1970

The SLANDER reported ifcat JacMeand Herb Purdy entertained 14 peopleat their Christmas dinner while DuaneWhite, Grace and Don Whitehead, BoyBazire, Judy Burner, Charlotte WMteand Ruth and Philip Hunter were aboutto open in "Busy Body", productionthat was stage-managed by Harrietand Paul Howe.

James "Doc" Pickens made theISLANDER'S front page with a beautyof a fish caught in the canal behind hishome...Clark Kent and Lois Lane werelisted as ISLANDER reporters (mythose two do get around) and fourCuban refugees landed on the shores ofCaptiva after drifting from the shoresof their homeland for eight days. An-dy's fishing pier had boats for rent,guides and bait of all kinds. MacintoshBookshop had an autographing partyfor visiting author Alien Drury whoseAdvise and Consent had just beenpublished.

A hay ride and carolingparty had been well attended by theIslands' youth and Chris* older sister,Mary Jo, had Just gotten her driver'sIi c ense and been accepted at FloridaState University.

interval ownershipbecome so popular on the Islands.

"Interval ownership is truly acoming trend," Siepard added. "It'svaluable to the developer as well as theconsumer."

Siepard used Plantation Beach dubas a model with which to explain the

beauty of interval ownership from thedeveloper's point of view, Uponcompletion, Plantation Beach CM> willinclude 44 Guff-lroftt resort unitSj eachof which can be sold in 51 unit-weeksafter the developer sets aside one weekof each fear for maintenance purposes.

con't from page 16

the, Plantation Beach d u b can besold In 2,244 unit-weeks, ranging inprice from $1,900 in the off-season to$6,706 in-season. Obviously, intervalownership offers a higher profitmargin to developers. -

Bat by the same token, if you assume

that each family will buy a two-weekvacation at Plantation Beach dub,then the'resort also offers moderate-cost vacation home ownership to over1,100 families which otherwise mightnot be able to afford a luxury con-dominium apartment on Captiva.
