flu

Smoke smolders during Sanibel's first control burn

Control burn deemed success

shotsSaturday

Contrary to what appeared in black and white in thelast ISLANDER, swine flu vaccine was not to havebeen administered on the Islands on October 2, butrather will be given on October 9. this comingSaturday.

The vaccine will be administered on the Islands atthe Sanibel Community House, from the hours of 9:30a.m. until l:00p.m. this coming Saturday, Oct. 9.

According to Dr. Stanley P. Wegryn, who is incharge of administering the vaccine here on Sanibel,all persons eighteen years old and older should ap-pear at the Community House this Saturday to beinnoculated, although no law requires them to do so.- Dr. Wegryn warned, however, tha t persons allergicto eggs, persons who are sick on the day of im-munization, and those who have had a vaccination ofany kind within two weeks before the swine flu in-noculation should not be vaccinated on Saturday, butshould not delay in consulting their privatephysicians and-or getting the shots as soon as theyare able to do so.

A monovalent vaccine protecting only againstswine flu will be given to persons between the ages of18 and 64, while a bivalent protecting against bothswine and victoria flu is to be given to those 65 yearsold and older, and to those with chronic diseases.

The swine flu innoculation program on the Islandsis being sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club inconjunction with Lee County Health officials

Thick wisps of black smoke dotted theskies over Sanibel last Wednesday morningas officials of the Sanibel-Captiva Con-servation Foundation, State Division ofForestry, and U.S. Forestry Service con-ducted a controlled burn of roughly fiveacres of spartina grass on the Foundation's"Nature Trail" property, located south ofSanibel-Captiva Road, approximately onemile east of Rabbit Road.

A special city permit for the control burn,which was intended both to aid in theelimination of exotic plant species in the

s££ea and to minimize the threat of wildfires"glaring the winter dry season by removingthe accumulation of dead vegetation on thetract, was approved by the City Council inmid-August.

The special burning permit issued by the.city carried restrictions upon the type ofweather conditions that were to prevail onthe day of the burn. In essence, the cityrequested that the experimental burn beconducted under southeasterly wind con-ditions so that the smoke from the blazewould travel north, away from the populatedareas of the Island.

Early last Tuesday. ConservationFoundation Director Dick Workmanreceived a call from State Division ofForestry Director MikeLong and Dale Wadeof the U.S. Forestry Service with the news

. that weather projections for the followingday seemed propitious for the undertaking.Thus, the machinery of wildlifemanagement was set in motion and the firecontrol forces were readied for the followingmorning.

By 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, Workman wason the scene running a last minute Check ofwildlife on the area to be burned. Withinfifteen minutes the State Forestry people

had arrived to begin the work of cutting afire line around the area to contain the burn.

Also on hand as a backup unit in the eventthe fire should get out of hand were Sanibelfiremen, while Sanibel police officersremained on Sanibel-Captiva Road in thevicinity of the burn to control any smokeengendered traffic problems which migharise.

At 10.15, officials lit a backfire on thedownwind side of the burn area to clear asmall area of vegetation where the fire couldconceivably have spread beyond theperimeter of the intended burn,, and thencarried the fire on around to the southeastcorner of the site, from which the light •breeze carried it slowly across the five-acreexpanse of marsh land.

By about 11:00, the fire had died downenough to allow the officials to assess theeffects of the burn. Even though the fire hadcompletely burned itself out by noon, StateForestry officials still dropped two loads ofwater on the area from helicopter, and oneof the fire monitoring crews remained on thesite until mid-afternoon.

In 1 he-weeks before undertaking the ex-perimental burn, workman and otherFoundation members walked the area to doi isual counts of wildlife populations on theburn site, and carefully checked to makesure that the ground was wet enough so thatthe fire wouldn't disturb wildlife and plantroots. Another part of the Foundation'spreparatory data gatherine was a thoroughplant survey of the site done by Bill Webb, aretired professor of forest zoology.

"In a matter of a few weeks, we'll haveenough information to get a pretty good idea

In your opinion

"Judging from the first of their much

publicized television confrontations,

what effect do you think the Ford

— Carter debates will have on the

election in November?"

Jan<* Epranian, Sanibe): "I hope that thedebates won't have much effect on anything.They were just plain mediocre, althoughFord surprised me by doing much betterIhan I thought he would."

Shelly Wrhti.Suuihrl: "I Ihink it will havesonu1 efieci. although neither man seemed

ti! on top."

Larry Hoff, Captiva: "I watched it, and Ithink we're in bad shape either way. I thinkboth of the candidates came off pretty

-lacklustre. The best part of'the debate waswhen the sound went off."

J a w s Horsle\, Kanibrl: "Well. I felt thatCarter demonstrated a definite amount ofcharisma and feeling for the Americanpeople, while Ford displayed the moretraditional middle-of-the-road attitude,which doesn't offer much hope for change. Ithink that who gets elected depends uponhow much the American people really wanta change."

I.iiHta Kltrhio. t'aptha: "I don't reallythink it will make any difference at ;ili. Birth"Candida! es came off as verv dull."

-Kit-hard White and Scotch, Sanihe):"Honestly, I didn"t see the debate, but whatI've read about ii has been so mixed that Idoubt the debates will have a significanteffect on the outcome. I think.that it mighthave a .significant effect if they'd change theformat of the debates. The highlights I'veseen looked awfully programmed. Therewas no informal giveand take."

Lincoln, Illinois

To the Editor. Sanibel-Capliva ISLANDER:It was most generous of you to publish so

promptly my entire letter that attempted adetailed explanation of (he reason for the$20,000 debt service figure that appears inthe Snnihcl Fire Control District's approvedbudget for next year.

Although my explanation may not havebeen as adequate as that given lo theaudience at the Fire Commissioners' publicevening meetings last May, I feel sure thai itdid help to assure you and many of yourreaders that those unpaid Commissionersdid a most excellent jab in keeping the taxbile on Sanibel's taxpayers as small aspossible. They provided well for the un-precedented growth tliat our little Island isexperiencing.

It was most interesting lo learn, from yourcuriously caplioned editorial, about your'•telephone research program" on tlie firedistrict budget. The one question which youdubbed "biggie" was understandably justthat, but only to those who did not choose toattend the district's public hearing lo beinformed by the Commissioners, FireDepartment personnel and (he City's FireHydrant Committee on the financingproposal involvitm the issuance of bonds bytheCilv.

Fur Ihe benefit of you and your readers. Iwill «ry lo summarize below the technicaln'asMB for the City being chteen in issue thebsirfs:

TiK> district's attorney advised that.strangely enough, the Florida Legislaturewhen i\ created the district in 1955 failed togive it the specific power to issue bonds for.•im1 purpose. It did give it the power,however, ta ACQUIRE already constructedhydrants and appurtenances by installmentpurchase. The privately-owned Island WaterAssociation, serving both Sanibel andCaptiva. reported that its corporate charterFrom the State did not permit it to engage inthe business of providing public fireprotection. This left only the'City as theremaining possibility. The City Manager feltthat it was within Ihe power granted foFlorida municipalities to engage in thismunicipal-type of activity to the extent, inthis case, of constructing the hydrantfacilities for lease-purchase by the FireDistrict over a period of twenty years.Accordingly, the bond maturity was set atthat period. The estimated cost of theproject was estimated at $818,000. Theaverage annual debt service scheduleworked out to about §76,000 at an estimatedinsteresl rate of 7 per cent Since it seemed -impossible to arrange for the essential bondcounsel approval and court validation in soshort a period, the district put into its budgeta figure of $2&,0QB considered adequate to.'cover the debt service charges for theremaining portion of IS77. (The twenty-yearmaturity was selected so as to lighten the.financial burden on present taxpayers byspreading it in time to encompass those whowould be building in the future.) The Cityrealized, ai that point, (hat its own capitalprogram called for another $1,682,000 inrarious projects some of which would not herevenue producing. It was decidedtherefore, that economy dictated that asingle General Obligation Bond issue be-floated ta embrace both the hydrants and theCity's other capital program. This decisionwas alsomade with the realization that suchan issued called for an approving vote.bySanibel's voters which was considered amore democratic way of proceeding. To me,it is difficult under the foregoing procedureto picture this logically developed andessential project as eigher "vague" or "aboondoggle" as you report it beingcharacterized.

The timing of the Referendum youreported from discussions . with CityManager Nungester seemed very realisticIrtnn tny experience with such matters.Indeed, there is ample time and opportunitylor those now becoming aware to study theproject before it is finally undertaken. Thisis also true of the other questions raised inyour "telephone research program."

As you will recall, it has always been myobjective lo stimulate citizen participationby the presentation of pertinent facts. Isuggest, therefore, that The ISLANDERregularly carry at its masthead the slogan:"Maximum informed citizen participationin public affairs pays off in the greatesteconomy for the taxpayer."' That is mysimple way of saying just about what theChamber of Commerce's Walter Klie soaptly put in the form of a broadcast parablereproduced in your September 28th issue.

-s-Paul A. Howe

Lotier from Tlie Editor:Recently, The ISLANDER has received a

tiumber of missives (mostly anonymous)pleading for the old time guest lists we usedto print and in at least two cases, accusing usof favoring one motel over all the others.

In essence, this is true—but not because offavoritism. We find it impossible to print apicture of a guest when we either can't lakethe picture or have someone (usually amanager or owner) either say, "Hey, wehave a live one" or even bring us a picturethemselves.

We would be delighted to print more fishor people or whomever., but only one or twomotels or fishing guides seem to be in-terested in this particular phase of publicrelations anymore. We prints what wegels—and if they all come from the samesource, it seems unfair NOT to print themjust because no one else will release a guestor fish list.

That, gentle readers, is why you see oneparticular place frequently mentioned. It isimpossible laud illegal) to print unreleasedinformation about guests.

Hope lluil clears that up—and if you arerunning a motel, and have an interestingguest, or someone who caught a big fish, letus know. We'd be delighted to print it, andcome Uske a picture and all!

Judge Wallace Pack granted the post-ponement, the second in as many weeks, "inorder to give Ihe attorneys in the case timeto prepare their materials." It seems thatboth parties in the suit found themselvesdeluged in evidence last week, following alast minute exchange of information.

Poinle Santo President Richard N. Miller,developer of the Poinie Santo de Sanibe!condominiums on Gulf Drive, fiied suitagmisl the city on June 18 of this year,requesting Jha! the validity of the originalLee C(«nty buifding permits issued for theproject in 1S73 foe upheld because of theamount of w«rk and money already investedin the project.

A stop work order was posted at the site byCiiy building nffV-iafc «w April 27 of this

scar, atlw which vmrk was hall«l.innnetJiatcIy after filing the suit, however.Aork w;is resumed on Ihe project and hasciJisl imied ever since.

At (lit* request of City Attorney FrankWatson, the develtipers were warned that(hey are proceeding wiJh the construction attheir own peril, in dircc! contravention of thecity's wish that [hoy hnli work on the siteutif il such time as (he suit is resolved.

Another suit lor declaratory and in-junctive relief was fiied against She city lastweek by ihe Nationwide Realty Corporation.ctmtending that (he city's comprehensiveland use plan is too prohibitive with respectto the lot sizes in Nationwide Realty'sSanibrl Bayous suhdivisiou. Here again, thedevelopers are requesting a variance fromHie plan's provisions on the basis of the LeeCounty Commission's approval of thesubdivision in 1971.

The case has been assigned to CircuitJudge James Adams.

of the fire's effects," Dick Workman told theISLANDER.

"There seems to be a lot of wildlife left inthere," observed Workman on the morningof the fire. Moments later a skunk emergedfrom the smouldering earth and scurriedacross the embers to disappear into a buriedmass of living spartina roots.

"Many other species will return as soon asthe vegetative cover grows back,"remarked Workman, who later told us thathe had observed a marked increase in thenumbers of certain predoceous species, suchas hawks, in the area immediately followingthe fire.

"This fire really didn't burn very hotbecause of the wetness of the ground andbecause of all the green vegetation in theslough," said Workman, "and thus therewas only negligible damage to wildlife."

According to Workman, the only casualtyof the fire that he observed was one mudturtle that got caught too far from its burrowwhen the blaze began.

With respect to the fire's effect on un-desirable plant species, Workman told us,"We knew from monitoring the wildfire thatswept this portion of the Island in '71 that theBrazilian pepper would notbe killed, so weplan to go in and ohvsically remove orpoison the plants. The Australian pines will

also require supplemental control, as theyoung plants are already beginning to sproutagain."

"As far as I know, this was the firstpremeditated control burn undertaken onthe Island, and it's really difficult to assessthe results at this point in time because wehad so many people involved in the fire withso many different interests," Workmancontinued.

"I think fire officials gained a great deal ofinformation about controlling the hazardousaspects of the fire. For the Foundation it wasa tremendous success as an informationgathering experiment, and judging by whatwe can tell from our preliminary ob-servations it was very successful as awetland management technique.

"After we've had a chance to assess theresults, we will decide whether or not theFoundatjo thinks control burning is a viableidea for our properties," Workman con-cluded, "although, of course, the extep' "•the program will be entirely at the discreof the City Fathers."

"I think a much more extensive controlburning program is in order now, based onour experience," Workman added. "Ourgreatest success was that no one on theIsland was even inconvenienced in any way,let alone endangered."

Picnic fare will beprovided to the youngstersbeginning at 5:30 p.m.,thanks to the generosity of anumber of Islanders whodonated food to the cause.

Hearing set for

Troutman appeal

A pre-trial hearing on developer RobertTroutmarfs appeal for permission toproceed with his plans to build a proposed26.500-untt condominium city on Estero Bayhas been scheduled for October 28 inTallahassee.

The appeal, which was filed with the StateCabinet on August 20, contests the denial ofTroutman's proposal handed down by theLee County Board of Commissioners earlierthis summer.

Representatives of the Lee CountyCommission, the Southwest FloridaRegional Planning Council, and possibly theDivision of State Planning will participate inthe hearing, presumably in opposition toTroutman's "Estuaries" proposal.

The appeal has been tentatively slated togo to trial on November 17.
