on the same or similar arguments
made -against the constitutionality of
the Sanibel incorporation legislation
when it was up for consideration in the
state legislature earlier this year.
At that time those opposing incorporation argued that the legislation
violated the *'equal protection" clause
of the United States Constitution
because the legislation "discriminated
against
non-resident

owners," denying them the opportunity
to vote on the issue of incorporationIt can be assumed that this same
argument, among others, will be used

EDITORIAL—
Washington, EKC.—In the past few weeks
it lias become crystal d e a r here that the
Administration is deeply, seriously troubled
by something in-addition to impeachment.
It can't be stonewalled, contained or kept
out of the Oval Office. It can't betaken to the
Supreme Court. The evidence for it can't be
withheld,, edited or erased.
Even Ron Ziegler, the President's chief of
epithets, lias not attempted to dismiss it as
warmed over baloney, or third-rate, or
inoperative.
Republican" Congressman Skip Safalis of
Florida's lOth District put his finger on it
last November, in an interview for ISLAND
REPORTER. "In my opinion," said Bafalis
at that time, ''the number one fundamental
problem facing the nation today is inflation."
Teeners in need of their ozAin, turf
Last Sunday a Half dozen island
young people in their early "teens
visited
the offices
of
ISLAND
REPORTER.
They had a purpose and they stated
the reason for their visit with youthful
candor: ''Can you .put a piece in the
paper to help us get a place to do
something,—without tearing up" other
peoples' property- as a playground."
We said yes.
The young people of the island have a
prohlem—and. they have a rare opportunity. We would like to make the
community a bit more aware of the
problem; and help make the young
people somewhat more aware of their
opportunities.
First of all, we recognize that one
can't speak of the island youth a s one
single group. They are all individuals,
with varying interests, and among
them there are little "gangs" of t>uddLies who prefer to stay together and to
play together.
This means that there is no simple,
^single thing that is likely to satisfy all
of them—although a community
meeting center and a community
swimming pool would probably come
closest.
Secondly,
through
some commendable initiatives that have been
taken
already
there
are
some
organized activities for the youth. One
example is the newly formed LittleLeague baseball teams—and they are
greatly
appreciated
by
the
youngsters.
V As a result of some other individual
rand organizational efforts, other young
people have had-an opportunity to go
sailing, to take swimming lessons, and
to engage in some other activities.
But, unfortunately, these activities
are either seasonal or sporadic, and
they don't meet that need of the young
for the identity and satisfaction that
comes from a "hang-out," a place to go
when the spirit moves one to do so, a
place where buddies are likely to be
found and where there is "something"
to do. that isn't adult-oriented.
We have asked some of the young
people to list those "things"* that they
would like to do. They said they would
do so.
It is clear now, however, that their
shopping list includes a place to play
ping-pong and pool; a basketball court;
more organized, competitive, sports
activities on one conveniently-located
playing field; a swimming pool; and,
just a place to "get together."
These aren't new or startling or
surprising requests. They represent
- what young people look for—in—every
community and many islanders will
say "we've heard that before."
The idea of a 'Teen Center has been
discussed for years and some abortive
efforts in this direction have been made
by title Sanibel Community Association.
Some of us have argued in the past that
there was too much timidity on the part
of the Association's board, and that
might toe true. The young people will
acknowledge that a part of any blame
forffailure in the past fell equally upon
them.
The Community Association board of
directors has tackled the problem
again and has named a very highly
qualified committee to explore the
possibilities. "It" is composed of Don
Bissell, Myton Ireland, and Judy Workman—all with young children of their
own- and with a record of personal
willingness to sacrifice
time and
money and effort toward serving the
interests of all island young people.
We hope that they come up with
prompt and imaginative recommendations. Above all we hope that the
boardof directors of the Community
Association—which has shown some
reluctance in the past to "take chances"—will support this committee.
What the island needs is a new
community center. Plans have been
"under discussion" for a long time.
Presumably, some day the new center
will be reality and will include room for
the islands' youngsters.
By that date, however, the 'teeners of
today most likely will be at work or in
college. Isn't there something less
- ambitious that we can do for them
now?.,
F"or example, provide a place to play
ping-pong and pool;
perhaps a
photographic dark-room for those
interested; a volley-fc^il court; a
meeting place.
The swimming pool, and other more
ambitious plans, might have to wait,
but some things can be done now—to
demonstrate good faith.
"We have discussed the problem as
r
seen by-the young people, but we can't
leave the subject without commenting
on the rare opportunities that the youth
of the islands also have available to
them. This portion is written primarily
for them.
Young people in the big cities have a
dream.. They dream of walking on a
lonely beach where pirates once might
have walked; of fishing in sea or
stream; of walking down nature trails
and studying -wild-life first-hand.
There are millions of young people in
those cities that have never had such
opportunities, and perhaps never will.
They may never see a pelican or a
porpoise; an air-plant or an alligator;
an egret or a beach at ebb-tide. The young people of the islands have
these
opportunities
immediately
available—and free.
We
believe
that
many
island
organizations and individuals concerned with t h e environment would toe
willing to set up special programs to
meet the interests of youth more fully,
but this will be done only if there is a
sincere show of interest.
To the young people who came to
visit ISLAND REPORTER we say—
keep right on trying to get -what you
want, keep your requests reasonable,
and we'll support you fully and contribute as much as we can.
We add., however, you shouldn't
forget the real and exciting world that
you have right under your feet". Oh
some days and in some ways it could
just prove to be as much fun as pingpong.
At the same time we have confidence
that the new committee of the Sanibel
Community Association devoted to this
problem will- come up with some
prompt and practical answers that will
go part, way toward satisfying the
requests of the young people on the
islands.
In the months following that intervew it
seemed that Bafalis might have missed the
mark. Other matters claimed moire attentions the energy crisis, t h e White House
Tapes, impeachment proceedings, detente.
But this week the Gallup F»oll reported
that -what Bafalis thought in November the
people think in July. Almost half of the
respondents said that what bugs them most
is the high cost of living. The next most cited
problem, but. by only 15 percent of those
polled, was lack of trust in the Government.
The indicators of inflation a r e a s rampant
as they are familiar. We're paying more,
sometimes much more, for- just about
everything. Prime interest rates have hit 12
percent. The stock market is in the
doldrums despite record corporate profits
and fantastically low price-earnings ratios.
Our balance of payments remains tilted
against us. The housing industry i s in a bad
slump. Withdrawals from savings and loan
associations, -which were key sources of
mortgage money, have been heavy as
people turned elsewhere for greater returns
on their investments.
And these developments have taken place
In advance of wage increases concomitant
with our *'double digit" annual inflation
rate. When the wage "catch-up" effort
begins in earnest, inflationary pressures
-will of course become more intense.
What is most troubling, though, is not that
th»e problem exists, and is likely to get
worse, but 'that there is no visible "game
plan" for dealing with it.
President Nixon has-made a point of being
photographed with- business (fexitnot labor)
leaders whom he called in to discuss the
situation but all that came out of that -was an
;uinouncement that it was agreed something
ought to be done. The Federal Reserve
Board, under Arthur Burns, has pursued a
tight money policy, but this has only,"at best,
prevented things from being -worse than
they are. It is reported that William Simon,
tfcie new Secretary of the Treasury, has been
taking soundings on Capitol Hill about a
package plan for slashing
government
expenditures including, it is said, an actual
reduction in Social Security and government
pension payments. F*redictably, no on interested in re-election would swallow that
proposal.
On the other Hand, has anyone heard of a
coherent anti-inflation plan being put forward by the Democrats, who control
Congress and, thus, the purse strings?
The nation's leading economists, few of
whom can claim they warned us we'd get
into our present fix, say they have some
ideas of what we ought to do to get out of it.
They disagree among themselves so much,
however, that it's difficult to know who
might
be more
right
than
wrong
Significantly, even John Kenneth Galbraith.
the Harvard economics professor and
former diplomat who has never been modest
about his intellectual prowess, has not
announced a pat solution for the current
dilemma. Refreshingly frank, at least, is
Robert Kavesh of New York University, who
says: "There are no magic cures for inflation. All the- suggested remedies have
been around for many years. The only
change is that lately they don't seem to be
working."
Regrettably, then, it cannot be reported
fronihere that inflation is about to be taken
-in. hand. More likely, it will remain out of
hand.

To ISLAND REPORTER: (Dear Islanders :) Are you "pleased with the walls of
concrete which are rapidly ii*wtg our formerly beautiful beaches, the large areas of
our island devastated of all vegetation, the
piles of litter along our roadways? Then be
sure to vote -against incorporation in
November. This will insure that this will
continue and become steadily worse.
"What will be your legacy to your children
and grandchildren?
A. bleak area of
devastation or a tropical paradise? The
future of Sanibel is in your hands. Are you
going to do something about it?
If your main area of concern is a three mil
rise in taxes and not your environment, then
by all means move to Tice or Anderson
Avenue- You will be happy there.
We should all thank God for every day of
the privilege of living on this beautiful
island. The tropical vegetation, the song of
the birds, the sea breeze whispering through
the tall australians, the blue-green waters,
white egrets against the blue of the sky. All
these t1iiiig«s the Lord has provided. Take
care of them, -s-Alice Kyllo.
No experience?
To ISLAND REPORTER: Time is racing
towards November 5 when the voters of
Sanibel will come face to face at the polls
with the most important decision in the
Island's history. They -will vote on whether
to continue with their governance by the Lee
County Commissioners or to rule themselves.
On a much smaller scale this is cocaparable to the steps taken by the Colonies in
1T76 when they declared their independence
from the British Crown. The latter step was
taken, however, over a century after the
Colonists had begun their practice of the a r t
of self government. The British Crown,
unlike that of the French and Spanish, h a d

granted
c h a r t e r s to companies and
proprietors and bestowed on. them land and
rules a s to how to divide and sell it, and howto govern the people settling that land.
Accordingly, a corps of native legislators
and ackninistrators was nurtured.
As early as 1639 Connecticut drew up the
first written Constitution known to history.
Although in theory the Colonies were under
the domination of royal and proprietary
governors, the Colonists let no form or
function of government escape their thought
or experience- In brief, they were equipping
themselves to take over all branches of
government as later events required they
do. No Sanibelite has been afforded that
opportunity locally as yet.
Sanibel, therefore, must compress that
century of build-up into a very few short
months if it wills incorporation on
November 5. Fortunately, there are many
people on the Island on the Mainland who
can give us a leg-up. The City of Cape Coral

young
An island business
man who now
knows how to land properly is
shown here as young wrestler.
There has been a lot written lately
about the Leakey family and their
archeological studies on the origins of
the human creature, or what passed as
one about: fourteen million years ago.
A few years ago all we had to worry
about was old Homo erectus and homo
sapiens. Those were the days when,
man. could feel -pretty young. After all,
scientists claimed we were only about a
million years old.
Now Louis and Mary and a whole raft
of Leakeys come along and start finding skulls and things that trace us
back to Ramapithecus and claim that
we're about fourteen million years old.
It's enough to put wrinkles on a
skeleton.
In any case all of this might now be
overtaken by new information that I've
uncovered in my unceasing journalistic
zeal.
It all started at a coktail party on an
island called Captiva.
It -was at this party that I first met
Dr. Nodrip. Right off I could tell that he
was a man of science and that he was
very excited.
"I think I've found it!" he said, with
a scientific twinkle in his eyes.
I've found myself in lots of trouble at
cocktail parties responding to such
leading statements, but I decided to
take my chances.
4
'Found what?" I asked.
"The roots of man," he replied. "The
place where the whole thing started!"
By then I knew" I -was stuck for at
least the duration of three martinis and
a bowl of nuts, so I decided to play
along.
"Really," I said, with my best
Captiva cocktail party nonchalance. I
had learned that on Captiva one had to
act either nonchalant or b o r e d ;
otherwise the. people up there put you
down a s naive.
-"Yes, I've confirmed it. The origin of
man started right here on this island. I
found a femur to prove i t ! "
'"Really f I said again, "and, how
long ago did this all start?**
"1 figure aboutsixteen million years
ago,"
said Dr. Nodrip, obviously
exulting over the fact that h e hadv
beaten out poor- old H>r. Leakey by a
couple million years.
\„
"Yes," he continued, '*I should have
known all along, just from looking at
these modern descendents. I should
have known. . . just look. . . "
Dr.
Nodrip pointed to one of my
Captiva friends .
"You rarely see them out in the real
world," Dr. Nodrip continued. "That's
what made nay research so difficult.
They hide back in those mangroves and
you'd never know they are there."
"What do you call this early Captiva
man?" I asked.
*'Homo rhizophoraceae Mangrove
Man/'
the good doctor replied.
""Wow!" I said, which is pretty
brilliant conversation for a cocktail
party.
"Yep.
Just wait until old Leakey
learns that the origin of man all started
right here in the roots of a mangrove
tree—after all of that time he wasted
out in Africa!"
"I suppose this proves that our
estuaries and mangrove forests are
pretty important, huh?** I said.
"You better believe!" Dr. Nodrip's
-words shot out with a renewed enthusiasm. "Just wait until I publish nay
paper. The county commissioners will
soon learn the value of the mangrove!"
I looked around cautiously at my
Captiva friends. I wasn't sure they'd
relish being an exhibit before the
county" commissioners and the planning commission and all that.
But I could see that Dr. Nodrip was
determined.
Captiva's
homo
rhizophoraceae was clearly slated for
an appearance before my favorite
Commissioner Trap D'or.
Perhaps, after all, it would be a
humble femur from the .shores of
Captiva that -would save our mangrove.
I knew I'd have to be at that meeting,
and I promise I'll give you a full report.

I D E:
Dear Representative Nuckolls,
My wife and I have just recently
moved to Bonita Springs after living
many years in Ohio. Our principal
income,
other than my company
retirement, comes from interests on
stocks amounting to almost $20,000.
These stocks represent a lifetime of
savings. Now we've been told that -we
must pay an Intangibles Tax on this.
Is
this true?
I think
it's unconstitutional. It seems we've been hit
for every thing coming and going. "What
-will be next? A personal state income
tax? -s-AJF.M Bonita Springs, Florida
Dear IVIr.
I agree with* you completely. I fought
last session for complete abolition of
the Intangibles Tax.
You.
however, should worry no
longer. You will not have to pay Intangibles f a x this calendar year 1974,
or in the years to come, if you do not
purchase additional stocks or if the
value of your stocks does not exceed
$25,000.
Under the law, intangibles, -which
Include stocks, bonds and notes, are
taxed $1 lor every $1000 worth of value.
In your case, the state allowed a $5000
exemption (last year), however, since
your stocks exceeded $5000 in total
value, you would have paid $2O.
OF BEACH
~-RESK>E»rnAL. SfGMS
I will continue t o press for complete
abolition of the Intangibles Tax. It is
difficult to take massive steps quickly
in the Legislature. I hope that next year
I'll be able to convince them to raise
the exemption to $50,000.
My criticism of this tax is two-fold.
First, it's a nuisance both to taxpayer
and tax personnel in -Tallahassee. It
takes almost a s much money as
collected to run the Intangible Tax
Bureau. Secondly, in my opinion, it
penalizes those such as yourself who
practice thrift and savings. Retired
persons who are offered stock options
during their •working years are completely vulnerable.
I hope that other citizens will continue to react a s you have, Mr. M.
That's the way we get bad laws off the
books.
Stick to your guns. I'm with you all
the way7 .

Since your value, $20,000 is less than
that amount, you pay nothing.

Driving down from. New York State
to vacation in our Sanibel Island, home,
I was reminded of Robert Benchley's
quip: *'There: are two ways to travel—
first <r»1««s, and, with children."
(Editor's note: This is the first of a
two part article toy the author of The
Art of Belgian Cooking. Resident of
Sanibel and Brockport, New York,
-where she teaches courses in the field
of "communications," Sarah KlUes
Watts spent several years in Brussels
where she and her husband, Ronald
Watts, -were employed by the International Federation of Journalists.)
What made our traveling less than
first class, so to speak, was not the
behavior of our three young children
•who have even learned to enjoy the
interstate highway scenery, but their
choice of food available on the route.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, .submarines, fried chicken and assorted ice
cream and soft drinks are the mainstay
of the highway menu. That these are
the choices from which our children
must develop a taste is my plaint.
Oh, yes, we left the main route in
search of something different—if not
more digestible. Small towns in Indiana on Sunday, for example, are not
even open for business. Larger places
have another assortment of standardized American fare: steak houses,
mock Chinese restaurants and dimlylit interior designers' dreams with
cooking ~that provokes nightmares.
IVIind you, I am not so deep in my
cooking pots that I am unaware of
Esquire magazine's recent analysis of
hamburger sauces. But that's my'
point. When American cooking comes
down to a dissertation by James Beard
and his culinary colleagues on the
ingredients of a sauce standardized
throughout the country, we are really
in the soup.
Where is the regional cooking of this
country? What happened to those New
England chowders, Middle Atlantic
meat dishes, Southern pies and Coastal
fish plates? Good ol* Colonel Sanders is
the only visible holdout for the regional
specialty along the highways and
byways of America.
There are a few budding attempts at
regionalism.
Outside
Nashville,
Tennessee, heartland of country music,
stands a rather charming rustic place
called "Hee Haw." After"you view the
bears,
you can choose
from
a
representative Southern menu^ There
are turnip greens, white beans, coin
(continued)
coconut
URAM
bread and a well cooked beef barbecue.
Interestingly- enough, the young son
erf a Southern couple sitting next to us
ordered a hamburger.. Is the problem
in kicis' taste, or the restaurateurs who
cater to it? . . •
.
- Nevertheless^ we found a few good
things in these- standardized eating
places. The bathrooms are usually in
the same location, and. at least you
know you can find one every certain
number of miles.
' Stuffed and laden with souvenirs of
our meals along the road, we arrived in
Florida to greet our visiting friend
from Belgium. She had flown from
Europe, so she was spared the rigors of
roadside eating in exchange for those
of the airlines' packaged platters.
As we prepared to entertain her, I
could' not but help ~ remembering the
wonderful Belgian cooking that I had
eaten and written about during our six
years of living in that crossroads of
Europe- People laugh when they learn I
wrote a book about Belgian cooking but
I am comforted by the 18th century
thought that "Loud is the laugh that
echoes in the vacant mind," (or
stomach, I might add).
Belgium cooking and eating is no
laughing matter, it is taken very
seriously. So seriously, in fact, that one
survivor, questioned after the 1967
Innovation Department Store fire
which killed 259 persons, recalled: "I
was in the quick lunch restaurant, as
usual, having bif teck and frites with a
gfai_««a of red wine. I had just started nay
salad when I saw the flam<
"Whethertf*i«ggentleinan finished J*i«
salad or not I do not know, but I do
know- that most Belgians - finish ; their
plates. JMost people would be literally
finished by the richness and abundance
of such food. Belgians are both gourmets and g
sourmands. Quantity
Qy
quality are equally important in the
kitchens of this lowland country.
Belgian cuisine is not internationally
known, as is that of its French neighbor, but the French prince of
gastronomes, Curnonsky, proclaimed:
"Belgium is the only nation which is
able to equal our cuisine. There, as in
our country, the cult of good fare is
perpetuated through the Jtraditions)
that exist."
Great French chefs will season, stir,
and taste until their sauce is just right.
So will Belgian chefs, but they are
inclined to add just a bit more butter
and cream to give the sauce an even
great righness.
French cooking is the most important influence on Belgian cuisine,
especially in the southern Frenchspeaking part of the country. Thus is
because these Belgians appreciate the
qualities of French cooking and enjoy
emulating their cultural cousins. In
France, the gourmet savors his
delectable portion of duck a l'orange;
in Belgium, lie staggers under a second
helping of the same delicious duck, on a
clean plate, no less. '
The second most important influence
is that of Flanders, the northern X>utchspeakingpart of Belgium. Although the
two language communities - are constantly feuding, they agree that there is
only one way to cook—the Belgian
-way—a Baroque blend of Flemish and
French styles,, an appropriate mixture
of Germanic and French strains in the
European crossroads.

When these high interest rates,
however, are considered in light of
inflation, the assessment ofthe interest
rates changes. To support this point of
view, the St. I^ouis Federal Reserve

is called the "real" interest rate. In
this ease the *'real>r interest is deterv

adjusting for inflation, the "real" interest rate since I960 has never been
lower than it is now.

confetenceat Fort Pierce, Florida <m August 24, president Fred Harden has announced.
The Nature Conservancy chapter added
27O new- members to its rolls last year,
bringing total membership to 1133.
Newofficers and trustees of the chapter,
elected in May, include Roy Bazire, of
Sanibel, assecond vice-president; and Opal.
Combs, Sanibel, continuing a s a trustee.
In a recent release the Florida chapter
^points out that these "are your* elected
representatives," and urges contact with
them if Plature Conservancy members
should have <]uestions, suggestions "or
brilliant ideas."
Although the Florida chapter has enjoyed
a significant growth in membership, Harden
is ' concerned by the relatively . low participation in meetings.
"•" ~, .:
"We have 1133 uaeixtbers," Harden st;
"yet usually attendance at our meetings is
never over 1OO and is more often than not
less than fifty."
The conference at Fort Pierce -will feature
Marjorie Silver Alder, former county
commissioner for St. Lucie county, in a talk
on "Environmental Politics," on Saturday
August 3. On the evening of the same day
there -will be a presentation on "Salt Iflarsh
Ecology," and on Sunday, August 4 an open
discussion on "chapter programs and
policies,'1 -with an opportunity for, members
to suggest "new directions" for the

There's something about a lighthouse
that makes you want to sit down and
sketch it. ...".or. -write poetry about it. *
_or just look at it!
The lighthouse o£ Point Ybel on
Sanihel is no exception. .Although at
first glance it may resemble a
watertowa* -with all its iron tubes, .and
although its ''keepers quarters" rest on
metal pilings instead of craggy rock,
the lighthouse is as much a part of
Sanibel as the shells along the beach.

The jobs of keeper Dudley Richardson and his. assistant John Johnson,
however, were not easy. The light
operated like an overgrown fishing

The early keepers lugged five gallon

She has reason to be happy. Her works are
hanging in many homes across the country,
purchased on Sanibel or Captiva and toted
hundreds of miles to a new home.
"The interesting thing,** Stolz said, "is
that some of these paintings had no par-

This is the reason her paintings have
appeared in many juried shoves this season
and why she has had two earlier one-man
shows, this^year.

At Island Art, Trudie Prevatt stated,
visitors -swill not only have a chance to see
the "watercolors——over thirty of them—but
also to see Mary Stolz demonstrating the
technique of watereoloring. The demonstrations will take place on Saturday and
Sunday, July 2(K2i, from 2:00 p.in. to 4:0O
p.m. and on occasion during the following
-week depending upon demand. The exhibit
-will continue through the month of August.
Stolz' one-man show in New York -will take
place in White Plains, at the Burke
Rehabilitation Center, during the last two
weeks of September. "For that show,"
Trudie Prevatt said, "she win have about
forty -watercolors on display."

Mary Stolz c a m e to art early in life and
then came back to it after a long interlude.
In between, she s a y s , she never lost interest
in art—"But between being a wife. . . and a
mother. . . .**
In New York City, Stolz studied at local
art schools and attended the New York
School of Fine and Applied Arts—the"
Parsons Institute. For over fourteen years
she was an active member of the Scarsdale
Art Association.
After her husband, Francis Stolz, retired
a s an executive of the advertising firm of
Batten, Barton^. JDurstine and Osborn, the
Stolz* retired to Captiva.
Mary Stolz i s a member of the Florida
Watercolor Society, the Sanibel-Captiva Art
League -and the Fort Myers Beach Art
Association.

Stolz* subject matter covers a wide range
of subjects, nearly all of island scenes, but
she s a y s that -what s h e enjoys doing most
"are peaceful scenes of the natural environment which show at .the same time the
sharp intrusions by man and the elements."

It is dcscr&ed a s one o€ "the great
events of tbe seventies" toy- Kurt
WaldObeim, Secretary-General of the
United Nations, known to some
islanders from his occasional winter
visits here.
was ~ speakirig
A
request for a variance on a small
directional sign on Periwinkle Way led
to raising the Question of repealing the
entire island sign ordinance at the
county commission meeting last
'Wednesday. In the end,^ however, the variance
was granted and the ordinance
remained on the books.
The issue was raised, when pharmacist Leonard Kessler requested a
variance to permit a directional sign at
the corner of Periwinkle "Way and Palm
Ridge Road.
The county commissioners agreed
o£..' the
United Nations World . Population
Conference to be held- in Bucharest,
Romania on August J.3-3O, 1974.
Attending the conference will be
IVfcary Seeligson Grey, a cousin * of
Sanfbel's Ann Winterootharn., president
of^-tfae SanibelrOaptiva Conservation
Foundation. She. will be sending reports
on the conference
to ISLAND
REPORTER, particularly on matters
relating
to growth and the environment. - .7
One section of the conference will be
concerned
with
environmental
management,
the
oceans,
and
resources and the environment..
The goal of the conference, according
to Waldheim, is to "bring us closer to
the day when the "world can. say that the
population problems facing- us are.
understood, and actions to solve them,
are underway."
- -T
Despite objections from Sanibel sign
committee spokesmeii that there was
no "special hardship*' involved and

might set . a precedent for other

voted
unanimously to let the sign remain.
The approval came on a motion by
commissioner Sayers, seconded by
commissioner Daniels.
The issue of 'whether a true hardship
existed was sidestepped in this lease
because of the "public safety*'-nature
of. the business, involved. Supporters of
the sign. ordinance felt that no
precedent was set by the commissioner's final action which could
open up the doors to other "hardship"
cases, with sign committee attorney
Mike Jackson pointing to the provision
in the ordinance that the burden; of
proving a special hardship lies with the
businessman.

Incorporation issue debated in two Sanibel meetings

CAPTIVA ISLAND, FLORIDA
The issue of incorporation of Sanibel was
the top item on the agenda for two meetings
this week.
On Tuesday about fifteen island leaders,
responding to an invitation from the Sanibel
Tomorrow organization, gathered at St.
Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church to
discuss the implications of new state
legislation concerning the ta-xitig powers of
the county government.
Two days later, on Thursday, the Action
Committee of the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber
of Commerce met to consider contracting
for an additional study on the subject of
incorporation- The candidate to conduct the
study is Fred Kerpel of Adley Associates, an
Atlanta consulting firm. Kerpel until
recently was under contract with Lee
- County to serve as a consultant -with the Lee
County Planning Department.
The ^contract with Adley Associates and
Kerpel was terminated by the county as a
result of the "budget trimming" exercise of
the county commissioners.
Kerpel also served as a consultant at the
time of the development of the controversial
Sanibel-Captiva "comprehensiveplan," and
he attended a number of meetings of the
committee charged with the development of
that plan. The plan ultimately was shelved
a s a result of legal action initiated by Naples
attorney and island property owner, Walter
Condon.
At the Sanibel Tomorrow meeting on
Tuesday, Zee Butler and Jim Robson,
speaking on behalf of* the pro-incorporation
group, explained the new legislation, stating
that the fact that it gave the county the
potential authority to levy up to ten mil
additional tax on unincorporated areas of
the county meant that "the cost issue has
been removed, for all practical purposes, a s
an issue in the debate on incorporation."
David Holtzman, n>|airmaw off the Action
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce,
said that he had not been persuaded that a
