VOLUME 10 NUMBER 26 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY JUNE 25/1970

SANIBEL PROTESTSA number of people from Sanibel attended a special meeting last week in front of

the Lee County Commissioners.Headed by attorney George Kluttz, the group registered a vigorous complaint against

the pumping of salt water into the Sanibel River (Slough).Recent dredging of a canal several thousand feet long and 30 to 40 feet deep in the

Jamestown Beachview development has been responsible for salt water intrusion intothe fresh water system, it was reported by Kluttz.

Herb Purdy, one of the objectors present at the commission meeting, said that "hiswhich was fresh water a few weeks ago is now testing at 10,800 parts per millionIt has turned the water brown and the fish and plants are dying."

Roy Bazire, chairman of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation said "we arealarmed at the pumping of water from an excavation which has broken the fresh waterlens and is now polluting the Sanibel Slough.This could very well be the most damagingthing that could happen to the ecological system of fresh water on the Island.

"The Foundation has been working on the development of the Slough area which isdirectly tied in to the J, N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge and if we lose theeco-system of the fresh water slough, we lose the whole Darling refuge."

Dr. Ingalls Simmons, head of the zoning committee was present and Mr. & Mrs.Robert England reported their fresh water well had gone bad. They said, "the watertested out at more than 13,000 PPM salt and was not drinkable. It was killing the plants

too."The County Commission recommended to have the Department of Interior Geologist

Mr. Durward Bogess make a study of the area in question and report back to them thisweek as to his findings.

"One of our greatest concerns," said Robert Dormer, one of those present, "isthat the damage has been done to our fresh water system and it is questionable as towhether it can be corrected. The whole fresh water system is polluted with salt waterwhich is almost as sally as the Gulf of Mexico which reads at about 30,000 PPM. Theslough where the water was pumped in tested 23,340 PPM. We are worried," sa idDormer.

4 SHAKY ENTRANCE TOBILL WAY'S MARINA

The Pelicans assembled on their pilingslike judges, eminent, and procured by

lawto bend their fallen frowns to pleasproffered by a lost and troubled peonwhoes wretch it was to bilge belowa jury-full of judges, five, black-robedand mounted like scholars of the nebulaeon barnacled towers, fossilized in gray.

The defendant's leaky boat would notallow

adequate council, less a decent bucketand spent this brilliantly-lit afternoonchasing shadows amongst motley man-

groves;thus the tragic hero (he would protest)possessed little in defence 'cept a pairof sad eyes and an incessant shrugging

of shouldersas questions ripped passed him, unan-

swered, •and once-tedious gazes t u r n e d and

tumbled upon him like boulders. •

But the bilious five had more dubiousdeeds

to be about, so quick a verdict came aswould singe the filmy wings of the fast-

est-flyinghummingbird and still a full-moon tide;for their hearts were kind to a degreewhich allowed them a view of our hectic

hero'splight — they dealt him passage to thenearest pier, yet due unto his sizethey condemned his boat, his legal aid,

The EditorTo The Islander:

Let there be no mistake.The salt water intrusion now under-

way at the eastern end of Sanibel andspreading westward will mean the endof the J. N. "Ding" Darling Nat ionalWildlife Refuge as we know it.

A host of highly qualified profess-ionals from government, private or-ganizations and top Florida universitieshave testified to the interrelationship ofthe salt water mangrove areas, the Tar-pon Bay estuary and the interior freshwater lens.

Following is the position of the Bur-eau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife,U.S.Department of the Interior on this matter.Mr. Roy BazireChairman, Board of DirectorsSanibel-Captiva Conservation

Foundation, Inc.Sanibel, FloridaDear Roy:

During your recent visit to Atlanta,you asked that we comment in writingon the importance of the Foundation'sprogram to acquire lands in the interiorfresh marsh area (Sanibel Slough) onSanibel Island, especially as it relatesto our refuge. We are happy to do so.

Sanibel Island, as an area of greatnatural beauty, an area of enormouswildlife and fishing values, and a reser-voir of outdoor recreational potential istruly something special today. However,time is running out at Sanibel. It is, aswe have pointed out in our recent study,an island under siege. Under siege fromthe unthinking, indiscriminate acts ofman. Residential and commercial de-velopment is now moving at a rapid rate.

The Bureau recognized this severalyears ago when it began its program toacquire some 4,700 acres in the northpart of the island. That program, in largemeasure because of the vigorous supportof our friends on Sanibel and Captiva, isnow over 85% complete. It will be com-pleted in the next two years if presentfunding levels hold firm.

Important as the Bureau's programis to Sanibel resource values and naturalbeauty, it is in itself not the entire an-swer. In fact, much of the refuge's futuresuccess will depend on the preservationof the marshes in Sanibel Slough. To thisextent, the objectives of the San ibe l -Captiva Conservation Foundation to pre-serve the Slough area are intermingledand of great importance to the Bureau's.

Specifically, the greatest positive ef-fect of your program on Sanibel Sloughwill probably be felt in Tarpon Bay. Thiswas brought out many times, by variousexperts, at your recent conference. TheTarpon Bay estuary is a nursery formarly marine species and is used bywading birds and other wildlife. SanibelSlough's only drainage outlet is into this

bay. Therefore, what happens to and with-in the Slough will vitally affect the re-source and recreational values of thisestuary.

The maintaining of Tarpon Bay in itspresent natural and unpolluted state willdepend on (1) the Bureau's program toacquire all private lands around it, (2)your program of acquisition in SanibelSlough, and (3) the success of your ef-forts in establishing sound zoning on San-ibel.

There is no way around it — yourefforts in Sanibel Slough are very im-portant to both the refuge and the totalisland environment. We wholeheartedlysupport it. Cooperatively, we have comea long way. There remains much to do.But working together, and with the sup-port of other interested agencies, privateorganizations, and individuals, I believewe can do a great deal more,,

WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT SANIBEL-CAPTIVA?Unique is an overworked word. Any individual or place is, after all, unique in var-

ious ways and one can hardly stay grammatically correct if he talks about more unique*" or most unique. All of Florida's islands were unique. There were no others like them

in the United States. From a biological point of view, many of them were indeed dis-tinctive ~ some almost entirely West Indian in their biota, others representing un -usual meeting grounds between the animal and plant life of temperate America and thetropical West Indian flora and fauna. This meeting created distinctive communities inwhich strange combinations of species had come to live and had developed ways of in-teracting with themselves and their physical environment.

It would have been a fascinating field of study for ecologists if there had been anyecologists in those days. Unfortunately, before they could be studied they were changed.Some were completely modified — the island that is now Miami Beach is an example.Others were changed in various ways by human settlement and by the introduction ofexotic species. A few have been preserved in a nearly pristine state, relatively speak-ing. They are little changed by man. Some of the islands in Everglades National Parkare in this category, but unfortunately most of these are the ones that were least in-teresting. Most of the Florida Keys have been greatly modified, Marco Island is foreverchanged and can never recover. The blight of uncontrolled, unimaginative, destructivedevelopment that has crept down the east coast, is now moving rapidly along the west.

So we come to Sanibel and Captiva. For a long time, favored as they were by arelatively long distance from the shore, they came to be inhabited by island people —tf'-t distinctive breed of human being who likes to be surrounded by the sea. An unusualf tl of the natural and the man-made was created here ~ a thoroughly pleasant humanenvironment in which space was provided to allow all or most of those species, otherthan man, to continue their existence. Unfortunately, mostpeople are not island peopleand do not want to be cut off from the main crowd of humariity'by a stretch of water. Inorder to exploit and make a profit from islands, one must make them available to thatother breed - - the mainland people. As you all know too well, the exploiters have hadtheir way and the causeway and bridge were built to Sanibel. Now the question to beasked is not "what do we have on our island?" but "what do we have on our peninsula— our peninsula that was once two islands?" Because they were islands, because theywere cut off and the flood of mainlanders has barely started, you will have much ofthat creative blend of the natural and man-made that characterized the islands, andyou could still save it.

But, as you all know, the goal of the exploiters is to maximize profit,, The ideal ofthose who would exploit islands is Miami Beach. The natural environment means little

to them except as a temporary means of luring customers to a place. There is nothingin the usual sales contract committing the seller to maintain an area in a natural con-dition. '•

As some of you know, I have been involved, for several years, with Rookery Bay,south of Naples. That project was designed to explore ways in which development andconservation could be reconciled. It has recently entered a new phase in which the Fed-eral Office of Water Resources Research has provided funds to enable the Universityof Miami to continue its biological and hydrological research and to permit the Con-servation Foundation to carry out studies of the social, economic and political deter-minants that lead people to decisions on land use. Rookery Bay is today beset on allsides with pressures on people to sell or develop land in ways that will be destructiveto the Audubon sanctuary. Yesterday, at ourmeetingon Rookery Bay, I pointed out thatthe OWRR is interested in continuing the study even if things go wrong, even if ourefforts fail, because we can learn from our failure and apply the lessons elsewhere.But then a sobering thought hit all of us. Where is the elsewhere on which this know-ledge will be applied? Wouldn't our study be rather like carrying out an autopsy on thelast victims of a plague? We would finally know what everyone had died of, but theywould all be dead. Where do you go if you lose Rookery Bay — if you lose Sanibel?There is no other place. .

And so we get back to the original theme of this session. Why are the i s l a n d sunique? They didn't start out as being all that unusual. But now, they're unique becausethe rest has gone. This is a frightening thought - - it is not one that can lead to quietreflection and a calm demeanor. It demands action, serious, severe action.

You can no longer afford to have any illusions. You can no longer allow anyone tosell land for a profit if that interferes with the maintenance of the human environment.You can no longer allow any person or agency to develop land in such a way that isdestructive of the human environment. You can no longer afford to allow any singleperson to hold political office or work in a position of authority in any governmentagency unless that person is committed to the preservation of the human environment.You must fight every election, fight every issue; you can no longer afford to be niceguys. I know many of you came down here to retire and rest, but all of us now have topay the cost of those 10, 20 or 50 years when we were looking the other way while theworld was going to pieces. You little old ladies in tennis shoes have got to take themoff and put on hob-nail boots0 You've got to be able to kick hell out of a lot of people.

The fight is not going to be easy - - but for once you have allies, you are not alone.I have been working during the last eight months with the UN in New York, with UNESCOin Paris, and with FAU in Rome. In all of these places the same concern is being ex-

TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY

By Russeli KayA recent newspaper item dealing with

the rapid propagation of insects statesthat a single pair of house flies is po-tentially capable of producing 191,000,000,000,000,000,000 offspring in justfour months. If they all survived, theearth would be covered to a depth of 47feet. Maybe so, but it sounds like some-body had been playing with a computer.

When you stop to think that flies havebeen breeding and carrying on hankypanky for centuries and we Seldom seemore, than a dozen or so a day underordinary circumstances while the areaof the earth sprayed to destroy them isvery limited, we have to take our hatsoff to Mother Nature for her amazingability to maintain the balance necessaryto maintain a livable earth.

And consider that flies are only onekind of fast reproducing insects thatprobably could do as well as the fliesand maybe go them one or two billionbetter. We better get down on our kneesand thank the Good Lord for such crit-ters as spiders, birds and other forms oflife that feed on insects.

Over the years Nature has been ableto maintain a safe balance and only whenman disturbs this balance do we find our-selves in real trouble.

They tell a story about two beach-combers discussing the life and habits ofthe alligator and one of them pointed outthat the mama gator lays a thousand eggsand then the papa alligator comes alone

and eats 950 of them. One beachcombercontended that tne iemaie was the moscimportant but the other guy contended themale critter was and pointed out that ifit were not for die papa gator we wouldsoon be up to our ears in alligators.

We now know that through the use ofvarious types of insecticides and pestcontrol chemicals, man has upset thebalance of nature to a point where he hasendangered all life on earth. Not contentto let the Lord take care of things, wehave attempted to improve on his workand have made agrandandgloriousmessof it.

We spray DDT over the landscape toprotect crops and this poison finds its wayinto our rivers, streams and the sea.Our fruits and vegetables are contamin-ated along with cattle, poultry and fish toa point where every human being isgathering DDT poisoning in his systemno matter what his diet may be.

Not content to wait for our normaldestruction from our activities in dis-turbing Nature's balances, a large per-centage of our population is turning todrugs to speed up the process. We areso disturbed of mind that we have cometo depend on all manner of spirit-lifters,tranquilizers and far-out drugs to help us

id l i tWe can march, throw rocks, smash

windows and bum buildings in our vaineffort to find the answer but until wecalm down and exercise some plain oldfashioned common sense we won't getanywhere. We might take time out to con-sider that the Creator still knows thescore and is prepared to care for thoseof us who still have faith in Him.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT SANIBEL - CAPTIVA ? continued from page 1pressed, by people from all over the world. The problems of Florida and the U.S. areshared by the Soviet Union and by Japan, by Franco's Spain and Castro's Cuba. We areall in the same dilemma. It has been pointed out in some of these meetings that we needpay particular attention to islands. An islandis a microcosm, reflecting all of the prob-lems that the entire planet, our world island, now faces, but in a relatively more man-ageable form. If we can't solve the problems on an island, how can we hope to solvethem for the world?

The questions that you must really face up to on Sanibel are the big questions thatthe world must face.

How do you control population growthv 1'hat is the basic one. With uncontrolledgrowth we will lose every battle everywhere — on Sanibel and in the entire world.

While we are working on that one, we must consider another — how do you controlmovement of people so that too many of them do not try to live in places that cannotsupport their numbers? Obviously if everyone tries to move liere to Sanibel, they wildestroy the environment that attracted them. We must recognize carrying capacityand learn to respect it. The problem would not be severe if population pressures wereless, but while population continues togrow we must limit numbers in particular placesby means that seem drastic, perhaps, but are essential.

How do you eliminate the speculation and profiteering from land that now makes italmost impossible to buy and set aside those areas needed for protection of the totalenvironment?

How do we control development so that it does not take place in places where itshould not occur or in ways that are destructive to the environment?

Finally, how can we learn, fast enough, the difficult task of managing complex en-vironments so that people, plants, wildlife, the entire wide range of living things onthis earth can continue to survive and thrive. This is the field of creative planning;creative conservation and creative development, that is perhaps of the greatest in-

FISHING AROUND THE ISLANDS BY OLD SALT

TILEFISHTilefish are unusual fish with a most unusual fish with a most unusual history.

' Studies show that they thrive only at depths of 50 to 100 fathoms, and there only whenthe water temperature is close to 50 degrees. In this narrow range the tilefish is abottom feeder, growing to over 3 ft. long and a weight of over 35 lbs., though aver-aging much less. Note the fleshy flap at the top of the head and the smaller ones atthe corners of the mouth. The eyes are much larger in tilefish taken from the Gulfof Mexico.

Tilefish are excellent eating, but this large and valuable.fish was not taken alongthe northern Atlantic Coast till 1879. Fishing for this species developed rapidly. Then,within three years, the tilefish nearly became extinct, probably because of the shift.'of a cold-water current into the narrow area they occupied. In March, 1882, steam-ships and fishing boats reported millions upon millions of dead tilefish floating at seanorth of Delaware Bay. None were Caught in the next few years. Gradually the fishreturned, and after 1915 commercial fishing was taken up again. Peaks of millionpounds annually have been reached, but recent catches in North Atlantic waters haveagain been much smaller.

FRENCH FRIED TROUT

Put fish into a wire frying basket,just one layer deep. Lower basket intodeep fat heated to 385-400 F. Fry untilfish has an even golden brown crust (4to 8 minutes, depending on variety of thefish). Makes 5 servings.

Cut cantaloupe in half and removeseed. Toss remaining ingredients and fillmelon halves with mixture. Makes twoservings, about 245 calories each.

KING FISH MANTANZA2 lbs. fresh Kingfish steaks1/4 cup orange juice1/4 cup soy sauce2 Tbsp. catsup2 Tbsp. vegetable oil2 Tbspo chopped parsley1 Tbsp. lemon juice1/2 tsp. pepper1 clove garlic, minced

Cut steaks into serving pieces. Placein single layer in baking dish. Combineremaining ingredients and pour sauceover fish. Let stand 30 minutes. Turnonce. Remove fish, saving sauce forbasting. Place f i s h on well-greasedbroiler pan and broil about 3 inchesfrom heat source 4 to 5 minutes. Turncarefully and brush w i t h remainingsauce. Broil 4 to 5 minutes longer oruntil fish flakes easily when tested witha fork. Serves 6.

THE ISLAND GARDENER

There are some good summer flow-ers to plant for color according to theFlorida Nurserymen and Growers As-sociation CFNGA). A few of these areBalsam, Cosmos, Marigolds, MorningGlories, Portulaca, Tithonia, and Zin-nias. Most nurserymen carry t h e s eplants already started. You will be a-head of the game if you use startedplants.Do not fail to water them properly forthe root system is quite restricted be-cause of the small sized pots in whichthey grow. Feed bi-weekly with a solublefertilizer.

Palm trees may be showing a friz-zling of the top. This is particularlytrue of the Cocos Plumosa. An appli-cation of manganese sulfate will reduceand cure the frizzle top. For a smallpalm (4-5 feet) use one pound. A largepalm requires 6 pounds. Cocos plumosasare the only palms severly affected by alack of manganese. Others benefit fromthe addition to this element but it is not

If you are going away for the summer,the FNGA suggests that you remove yourhouseplants to the outside. Sink the potsinto the ground in partial shade. Avoidplacing any houseplant in the direct sun,since the leaves may be scorched easily.Make arrangements for someone to wateryour plants a least two or three times aweek. It will not be necessary for themto fertilize your plants while you a r egone.

Marigolds are quite subject to redspider. These tiny insects can be con-trolled with Kelthane or Ethion. Some-times corn earworm attacks marigoldsand causes the blossom to become de-formed or abort. When you are sprayingfor red spider why not use some sevinor lindame to guard against the worms.

Camellias at M s time of jpear arebeginning to show tiny flower b u d s .These, of course, are not mature andwill not bloom until later on. It i s im-portant, however, to supply sufficientwater to encourage the growth of thesebuds. A lack of water while the budsare growing may later on cause yourflowers to "bullnose," which means that

the flower does not open when floweringtime comes. Do not fail to feed yourcamellias with a good organic fertilizer.

Chrysanthemums have produced a lotof growth these past few months andmay or may not have a fungus. The fun-gus, called Septoria leaf spot, attacks thelower leaves and causes them to fall off.A weekly spray of Zineb or Maneb willgive control of the disease. Don't fail tofertilize your chrysanthemums at leastonce a month. This will insure you ofvigorous growth and a lot of blossomsin the fall. '

RAIN'S FIRST MINUTESWORST FOR DRIVERS

JThe_ fi£s£Jew.jninutes of Florida'sfrequent summer showers creates an"invisible danger" and increases driv-ing hazards the Florida Highway Patrol> said today.

Colonel Reid Clifton, Director of thePatrol said, "The first few minutes ofrain showers are the most hazardous fordriving. It is during this period that thegrease, rubber and oil combine with thewater to create an 'invisible danger.' Youshould immediately reduce your speed

and double following'distances-when therain begins."

The Patrol commander said this com-bination becomes mixed with rainwaterduring first moments of the shower mak-

- ing -a-very. slick and dangerous j-oad sur-face. "As the rain continues, this build-up is washed off the road and actuallybecomes safer in respect to the degreeof slipperiness," said Clifton.

Clifton said, "Last year 21% of theState's accidents occurred on slipperyhighways. This statistic alone shouldindicate that driving in the rain is haz-ardous and should be incentive enoughfor motorists to take additional safetyprecautions when the rains begin."
