Of Education Highlights C7bamber Cb"r Eliatertaias Trustees were entertain- ed by the O'Neil Senior Chamber Choir, under the direction of Bruce Court. The group of 18 students performed three selec- tions. Music Consultant Marion Williams informed trustees that the choir will leave shorly tor a two week tour of Great Britian, where they will stay with various host families and stage performances with a number of school groups. After the students were congratulated by trustees for their musical ac- complishments, Bruce Court extended his thanks to the board for its con- tinued support of music programs and festivals for Durham Board students. -schools For Further Con- sultation Chosen Trustees passed a motion recommending that Highbush P.S., Coronation P.S.. Athabasca P.S., R.A. Hutchinson P.S., Grove School and West Lynde P.S. be included in the phase 2 in-depth cotsWta- tion process for the Modified School Year. Each of the schools to be in- cluded has demonstrated the two-thirds support of their trustees, staff, ad- ministrators and School Advisory Committee ex- ecutive members necessary to advance to this level of consultation. As part of the process, all stakeholders in each of the schools' communities will have the opportunity to view presentations on the Modified School Year model, ask questions, and participate in the decision whether or not to proceed with implementing a modified calendar. The board is looking for two schools to be part of a Modified School Year pilot project. One of the schools would likely implement a single track calendar, where all staff and students are in school or on vacation at the same time, while the Other school would imple- ment a multi -track calen- dar, where staff and students would follow dif- ferent school and vacation schedules. A letter from Director Pauline Laing outlining the consultation process will be sent to all parents of students in each of the six schools. Two in-service ses- sions have been scheduled to be held at the Hopkins Street office. One took place Feb. 17 and the other took place Feb. 24. After these and other informa- tion sesisons, staff and parents of children atten- ding the six schools will be asked this May to decide PRINTING wr_ 683-1968 Serving the Community for 25 Years! ■ ■ ■ optimistic About Housiong With an inspiring year- end report and an average January market, local realtors are looking for- ward to the usually busy spring market. reports the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board (ODREB).

We suggest you take the following precatemns in order to deter purse snat- chers. The elderly. and lone pedstnans seem to be vulnett able. if possible, bank with a "buddy". as teams are less frequently targeted. On the street be aware of your surroundings, know where the 24 hr. stores arc if you need help. look at the people that are around you. Walk with purpose. Carry your Purse Properly closed under your arm, or with the shoulder strap running across your chest. Trynot to be predictable by vmtutg your bank at the same time on the Saone day each week. Ask the teller to count your money silently, below counter level, and put it into your wallet pnor to walking away from the counter. Avoid taking out large sums of money if you can, it's better to make several trips than to loose it all at once. Put your money in a small soft Wallet, and carry it in an inner coat pocket or pouch. Pict -pockets are not that common in Metro. Money Bens or the "trendy.. pouches that be around the waist are ex- cellent. If you use an Instant Teller. again be aware of your surroundings and other people in the vicinity of the machine. and count your money and put it away before tur- ning from the machine. When you shop for groceries. carry your money, keys and i lentificatim in a pocket or pouch, don't have at] your valuables to your prose. Don't put your purse in the child seat of the shopping cart while you shop - often we forget something and turn our backs for a minute. leaving the purse unattended. In a second, someone can remove your wallet. house keys and indentification. You probably won't even notice it's gone until you reach the check-out counter. The suspect will be long gone by then, and will have your address, house keys and credit cards. A handy uP - Photocopy your identification, bank and credit cards on a single sheet of paper, and write in telephone numbers to call if the cards are stolen. Keep the Photocopy at home in a safe place, that way if your purse is stolen, you have all the required information at your finger- tips. don't punt identifying labels on your house keys. If you follow these simple precautions, even if someone does grab your purse, you will still have your identification, money and keys. Remember, if ever someone grabs your Purse, don't fight with them, let it go, your personal safety is paramount. Identification, money and keys can be replaced. Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism Is Second World Day Of Prayer The Women's Inter - Church of Metropolitan Toronto is sponsoring World Day of Prayer to be held on Fri. Mar. 6th. The theme this year is "Living Wisely with Crea- tion" and all women and men of Metropolitan Toron- to are invited on this day of prayer. The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together and observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship of graver and service. It is a movement in- itiated and carried out by women in more than 170 countries and regions. To find out the location, date and time of the service in your area, the numbers to call are: East - 431-97M3 North Central - 488-7821: West - 7i9-9tr, 5 In & Around Don Mills by Marie Labatte Metropolitan Councillor Don Parkway For the second year. I am the (hair of the Metropolitan Transportation Committee. This year win be very challeng- ing for the Committee. Givers the budget constraints, every dime we spend will be very carefully- scrutinized. I welcome this opporturtity to bring you up to date on some of the transportation issues facing the Don Mills area. The Don Mins Road widening from Ovedea Boulevard to Barber Greene was completed recently. on this section of Don :Mills Road. the curb lanes are reserved for buses and taxis only from 7-10 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Vehicles are permitted to enter the reserved lane not more than 45 metres before the point at which they wish to anter or art Don Miils Road. The new lane will improve access for transit users between the Bloor-Danforth Subway and Nath York. The second phase of the Don Mills Road widen- ing. from Wynford Drive to Lawrence Avenue East. is scheduled to begin in April 1992. On Jan. 9th, the Transportation Committee approved a 30 Year rehabilitation pian for the Don Valley Parkway. The whole pian will cost $145.4 million with $5.E million expected to be spent in 1992. Wbether you like the Parkway or not. it is an essential north south link in our transportation net- work. This work is necessary to keep it in good reapir. However, to ensue that after 30 years we are left with more than just the 'same ole thing'. the Committee requested that a review be conducted to determine if reserved lanes for transit vehicles could be accommodated. Metropolitan Toronto's application under the En- virnnrnental Assessrnent Act to extend Leslie Street is cur- rently in the hands of the Minister of the Environment. Ruth Grier. The Minister could approve or dismiss the FA. refer it for a public bearing, or order Metro to do additional research. In view of the current shortage of funds at all levels of government, the Minister is being encouraged to save the huge cost of a public hearing and dismiss the FA outright. Lastly. the Dan Mills area was hit by 'ITC budget cuts. A community bus that was scheduled to begin in January, 1992, was postponed. Given the large number of seniors in the Don Mills Dmw•ay area, I regret that this service will not be implemented. Perhaps when the commission reviews this service next Year. conditions will be better and funds will be available. Contact my office if you have any questions or concerns. Please write to 390 Bay St., Suite 305, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3Y7, or call 392.4063. My office is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Concert By Music Festival Winners On Fri.

New Dinner Theatre by Frank Knight A newcomer to the Scar- borough Theatre scene is the Dinner Theatre at Sisters Eatery and Dining Lounge, at 4 Old Kingston Road. West Hill. The first play "But- terflies are Free" ran the first two weekends in February and was basical- ly the same production that the Scarborough Players had performed at the Scar- borough Village Theatre last season. It was the same cast, who were as good as they had previously been in this show, but in a different set- ting this was a problem. The room was not designed for theatre presentation with a small cramped stage which was not elevated high enough, basic raw lighting and sight lines which for a good part of the audience ranged from poor to bad. One sometimes has to be content with a smaller au- dience than have over- crowding. Possibly these physical problems will be solved as they progress on- to their next productions. The food was excellent with plenty to eat and serv- ed at the table. The Sisters would appear to be a popular place judging from the line up at the upstairs restaurant and buffet. I would certainly go back for the food. Upcoming shows to be considered are "My Fat Friend" and "Same Time Next Year". Toronto Irish Players The Toronto Irish Players are a community theatre company dedicated to producing works from the Irish dramatic reper- toire. Now in their 17th season at The Irish Cana- dian Centre at 1650 Dupont St., the Players have pro- duced roduced more than 50 plays covering the canon of Irish dramatic writing by many of the great Irish dramatists. The work of the Toronto Irish Players has been recognized through a varie- ty of awards for direction. acting, set design and costumes and other technical areas. In 1986 and 1947, Toronto Irish Players won best play award in the very com- petitive Association of Coaimuruity Theatre Cen- tral oo-tral Ontario r gicin with its productions of Brian Friels 'Translations' and 'The Plough and the Stars' by Sean O'Casey. The company now has a membership of over 100 and plays a leadership role in the thriving Irish cultural scene in Toronto. Every production reflects a continuing developnnent of the group's commitment to high production standards and to providing for Toron- to audiences, an insight to the rich vein of dramatic writing for which Ireland is known the world over. Toronto Irish Plavers can be seen in the current production "Year of the Hiker" by John B. Keane at the Irisih Centre on the following dates, Feb. 26, n. 2E, 29 and Mar. 4, 5, 6 and 7.

February 36, 1992 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The late George Balan- chine can now be properly regarded as one of the legendary figures in the world of dance. His choreography, once con- sidered daring, is now ac- cepted as legitimate and almost familiar. Mr. Balanchine was a wi- ly sort and realized that something new must be ;sugar coated for initial ac- ceptance. So when he put together The Four Temperaments, he wisely choreographed it to the music of Paul Hindemith's composition of the same name. ( The full title is Theme and Variations for piano and strings. The Four Temperaments.) It premiered in 1940 as a mood piece reflecting human emotions. Mr. B.'s ballet had its premiere in 1946 and, although sub- titled A Dance without a Plot. it was presented not as an absolute piece but a program piece in which the dancers set their movements to the music of Iffindernith. It is still so presented as witness the current :National Ballet of- fering of it at The O'Keefe. The difference between now and 1946 is that au- diences are now well aware that Balanchme intended The Four Temperaments to be an exhibition of nothing more than his ideas of the direction in which choreography should be heading. Still. the work is pleasant enough and backgrounded- backgrounded'- by the score of an acknowledged modern master. it almost cordes off as a program pry It is probably best . rc v - ed and most enjoyed by students of ballet rather than the average theatregoer. Even so, the latter can muchly enjoy, if not always appreciate, the skill of the dancers. That skill is abundantly on display in this production, so much so that one is hard pressed to single out for at- tention any one dancer in this ensemble piece. Cer- tainly, we enjoyed par- ticularly Gizella Witkowskv and Peter Ott - mann (why isn't he a prin- cipal yet?) dancing the Se- cond Variation; Sanguine. Balanchine's Four Temperaments can pro- bably best be summed up by remarking that after 46 years it still seems avant garde and needful of the tempering influence of Hindemith. The second work of the evening is Alice by Glen Tetley. He too. is a wily gentleman who knows the best way to package his works. It's no secret that this writer has always regard- ed Mr. Tetley as a better dancer than choreographer, though. to be honest. we are probably still so thrilled by the mertory of some of his Broadway performances that it's difficult for us to thank of him behind the footlights rather than in front of than. Anyway. Alice is a lyrical reworking of the, by now. stale consideration of whether or not Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alice Liddell were lovers in emotion and possibly even body. He has choreographed it to the music of Child Alice by David Det Trecliei. a KA LL YS STEAK & SHRIMPS S9_95 Chmmal R mil ed JcCut N.Y Steak and Delicious Breaded Shri vV& J CHEF'S PLATTER 59.95 B.B.QRas Tender Chicken Fingers and Bed Brodi eee Teriyaki r' SWOOD COUBINAIMN 58.95 Tasty Shrunps and Filet of Sole Breaded and Fried to Golden Brown ; CHICKEN TERIYAKI $8.95 I uWrcww sonow" eneet or C,r..cw., (.gr.ny wnnar.a and iinn" 5«vfre ww, Ta.fys�soca ABOVE INCLUDE: SOUP — SALAD BAR RICE, BAKED OR F.F.

The main theme borrows heavily from Schubert but there is also more than just a touch of Dvorak and even a frisson of Korngold. It is a fine piece of music. so fine that one is inclined to be charitable toward the almost peripatetic postur- ings decreed by Mr. T. One supposes it can be safely stated that the score of Mr. Del T redici can be enjoyed without the dance of Glen Tetley but not vice versa. Kimberlev Glasco danc- ed the role of child Alice on the evening of our atten- dance. Karen Kain danced the adult Alice. Both were quite winning: the former in her callowness, the lat- ter in her loneliness over the loss of a childhood love. Rex Harrington was Lewis Carroll and dues the role so well that one can forgive the artistic licence of mak i ng hi m a handsome young god that. one presumes. Alice believed hits to be. Reliable and under -rated Peter Ottmann is wasted in the gloomy role of Hargreaves. the husband of the adult Alice but scores mightily in his acrobatic cameo as the caterpillar.

FASHION NOTE: Shirts have always been a source of annoyance for us. We are quite broad and straight shouldered and taper to a narrow waist though not as narrow as it was in our Apollo youth. So, it's difficult to pur- chase shirts that meet our demanding standard of fit. The obvious answer, of course. is to have one's shirts custom made but that's sinfully expensive.

Besides, even custom shirts have to be laundered and laundering kills even the best of shirts in just about the same time as the cheaper ones. We believe, however, that we've now found a solution to our problem. George Boundis, who has been Toronto's reigning king of custom shirts for over 25 years is now expan- ding his operation to in- clude alterations. The cost is modest and well worth consideration.

HIGH NOTES: This Friday and Sunday, Opera in Concert is presen- ting The Daughter of the Regiment at the Jane Mallett Theatre in the St. Lawrence Centre. It will star the renowned Maureen Forrester. She will be joined by Lyse Guerin, Gregory Cross (both from the current cast of Phantom of the Opera), Jackalyn Pipher, John Dodington, Craig Ashton and Guillermo Silva - Marin. Miss Forrester will per- form in both concerts as will Stuart Hamilton at the piano. The Saturday per- formance is at 8 pm., the Sunday offering is at 2 p.m. What a delightful way to usher i n the month of March. K(N)1, SK(X)I,: From Mar. 18th through the 22nd. The O'Keefe is presenting the new Sesame Street Live production of Let's Play School. All the characters will be there in- cludtng Ernie who is the favou me of our grandson Andy. The Sesame Street shows are always popular and well nigh perfect Spring Break entertainment. ON RECORD: In Review: Volume One of The Best of Charles Dickens is available and well worth custom. This Hollywood Canada production features Robert Russell reading The Duel from Pickwick Papers and The Ghost of Christmas Pre- sent from A Christmas Carol. Mr. Russell is at his best with the works of Dickens and gives full measure of that excellent best on this recording. We look forward to the rest of the projected series. In Receipt: Collec- tibles Willie P. Bennett (Dark Light Music.) IN PRINT: Antonietta ( Alfred A. Knopf) by John Hersey is stated to be a novel bui is, in fact, considerably more. It is the story of a violin from its construction by Antonio Stradivari through its many owners to the pre- sent day. So well has Mr. Hersey (an accomplished violinist in his own right i done his research that one is hard pressed here to separate fact from fiction. Among the many characters are the Mozart family, Berlioz and Stravinsky. It's a fascinating, even compell- ing book. And, if one reads it carefully and with full at- tention ( difficult, given the narrative skill of the author) one will learn much about violins; not just their construction but their temperaments as well. A fine violin is a sen- sitive, animate creature. Its tone is not spontaneous: it has to be coaxed out by a violinist and a violin that is loved by its player -for its beautv as well as for its freedom of speech and richness of voice -will give up sweeter sounds than it will if it is not so loved. Our only criticism of An- tonietta is Mr. Hersey's almost slavish inclination to the music -the music! -of Berlioz. Stravinsky, Bar- tok,Schoenberg and others like them who would use mathematics as the master of music rather than the servant it is properly in- tended to be. Perhaps our bias is show- ing but we have little time for those who are forever trying to "go beyond the bounds** of convention for the mere sake of so doing. That said. let us also add that Antonietta is a fine piece of writing. Dant be put off by our tangent into criticism of much modern music TRAVELLING: U.S. President Polk's "Manifest Destiny" is surely one of modern history's inspired phrases. It is indeed manifest that Canada, the U.S.. Mexico and perhaps, even Central America will one day be politically as well as geographically unified. There's nothing Orwellian in the concept; it's simple economics. Personally. we long for the day when Florida is ..one of us" rather than "one of theirs". Think how much simpler it will then be to travel from the lard of the cod to the garden of citrus. This is all by way of be- ing a sincere, if ponderous- ly pedantic, way of saying that February and March are ideal times to escape the gray of Ontario winter for the sunshine of the sub tropics in Florida. And, said he ever so slyly by way of segue, should you opt for solar escape, try Coral Gables. If you should be fortunate enough to be there between Mar. 3rd and 6th. seek out the Coral Gables Country Club and its dinner theatre produc- tion of No Sex Please, We're British. It's won- drously and not unmindful- ly funny. As well, it features good bud, Ken Wittich who: wham (go figure it out for yourselves, gram- marians ... and let us know your opinions), it seems to us, has been mentioned a few times before in this space.

Each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of mhenting the gene which causes HD. As vet, there is no cure. There is hope. however. A scientific breakthrough in HD research has led to the development of a predic- tive test.

The Vienna Sales Con- vention ( FSC) establishes one set of rules for the sale of goods between member countries, avoiding disputes between parties over which nation's law should apply. It will govern issues affecting both buyer and seller such as the finality of the contract, obligations of both parties and remedies for breach of these obligations. "Exporting is an ex- tremely important compo- nent of the Ontario economy. In 1990, we ex- ppoorted more on a per capita basis than any G-7 nation," said Mr. Philip. "This con- vention will give both ex- porters and would-be ex- porters added confidence to sell to foreign markets with different legal systems and stages of economic development... "This new law will benefit Ontario business because one set of interna- tional rules will be simpler to deal with than a different set of each nation," said Mr. Hampton. '.With one common standard, parties will be spared the expense of researching foreign taws that might otherwise app- ly " A mughh VSC rules will automatically apply to con- tracts for the sale of goods entered into on or after May 1. 1992 business may 'opt out' of the rules. This can be done if a contract stiphates that another lawn will apply for a particular sale of goods. If the stipula- tion is not made. the VSC rules automatically apply. The convention does not in- clude the sale of consumer goods, electricity, shops, aircraft, investment securities or sales by auc- tion. The VSC was developed by the United Nations Com- mission on International Trade Law (UNICITRAL) , in 1960 as an international- ly acceptable compromise among common law, civil and other legal systems. Nearly 30 nations have ratified it, including the U.S.A., Italy, France, Ger- many, the Scandinavian countries and China. To date, the United Kingdom and Japan have not adopted the VSC rules.

Serving the Community Since 1950 travel History Touches Florida's Lee Island Coast Named in honour of General Robert E. Lee, even though he never visited the area, Lee Coun- ty was founded in 1887 with 1,414 residents. While the name says something about a strong Southern sentiment (the southern- most battle of the Civil War was fought here, after all). the founding fathers could have expressed more ap- propriate gratitude if they had waited just a little bit longer. Though still just a sleepy coastal community, such famous and important in- dustrialists of the era as in- ventor Thomas Alva Edison, automobile magnate Henry Ford and tire manufacturer Henry Firestone were soon to call Lee County home, at least for the winter. Today, Lee County's population exceeds 300.00u attracting perhaps twice as many seasonal residents and more than 1.5 million vacationers each year. Though the county has grown to meet modern demands, numerous historic homes and sites have been preserved as reminders of the area's past • The best known of these sites is the Thomas Edison Winter Home in Fort Myers. The inventor of the lightbulb, phonograph and holder of more than mw patents during his lifetime, made his home in Lee County for 46 winters. He came south to the sleepy, sub -tropical cattle town when he was 37 years old. on the advice of his physi- cian. The stressless en- vironment and mild climate so revived the in- ventor that he decided to stay, becorrung one of the first official snowbirds. Built in 1886, his 14 -acre riverfront estate was donated to the City of Fort Myers by his widow. Mina Miller Edison, and opened to the public in 1947. Its ex- perimental botanical gardens are considered unique because each specimen was included for its scientific value. Edison's laboratory, where he turned goldenrod to rub- ber, seems to wait expec- tantly for its master's return. Tours run continuously throughout the day and feature the inventor's char- ming ..Old Florida" style home, laboratory, ex- perimental gardens and museum. His collection of rare antique automobiles and some 200 Edison phonographs are among the memorabilia preserved NOVA TRAVEL LTD. Ont.Lic.3156796 "Complete Travel Service" to ON desdruitions Danforth RdA Midland Av. 265.6682 in the recently expanded museum. Open daily, except Thanksgiving and Christmas, tours run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, and from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sun- days at 2350 McGregor Blvd. Lined for miles with ap- proximately 1.800 royal palm trees, some originally planted by Thomas Edison, McGregor Boulevard is a tribute to Fort Myers, the scenic "City of Palms". Originally a cattle trail. many privately owned period homes are located between the boulevard and the Caloosahatchee River. Among the most notable is the Henry Ford -Biggar Home at 2400 McGregor Blvd. Ford and Edison were great friends and Ford was a frequent house guest until he purchased this bungalow -style house in 1916. The still -standing -gate between their proper- ties became known as the ".Friendship Gate". The City of Fort Myers purchased the home in the stammer of 1968 and is renovating the house and gardens to the 1920s period when Ford lived there. It is open to the public for tours daily. The statue of a Grecian maiden marking the en- trance to Edison Park has been a local landmark from the time of its unveil- ing in ISM. When first coo- cel ved she was to be rendered naked, until Mrs. Edison expressed her opi- nion that the statue be modestly draped. Inside the Edison Paris s; vi- sion, visitors will find the tional Church and an assortment of homes dating back to the turn of the century. An assortment of Mediterranean Revival, Neoclassical and Greek Revival homes can be found along McGregor Boulevard and inside the Edison Park subdivision. On the other side of the downtown district, another historic residence, the Murphy -Burroughs Home was built by wealthy cat- tleman John tifurphy in 1901 and turned out to be the catalyst for a turn -of - the -century residential building boom. As happens with so many vacationers to the region, Murphy decided to build the home after visiting in the late 1890s. He purchas- ed the 450 feet of river fron- tage that the house sits on for $3,500 in 1899. At the time the house was constructed, an architect - designed house was rare in this part of the world. The Georgian Revival style, although used in other areas throughout the South, was also unusual here. Murphy, a newcomer, was setting standards and making a social statement. After Murphy's death in 1914, the property changed ownership and subsequent- ly was purchased in 1919 by Nelson Thomas Burroughs, self-made entrepreneur who brought his family to Fort Myers each winter. He died in 1932, leaving the house to his daughters, who later donated the property to the City of Fort Myers. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, much of the home has been authentically restored and furnished. Tours are available Sun- days from I to 4 p.m. unless renovations are underway. The house also can be reserved for weddings and parties. Call 813-332-1229 for more information. Other historic buildings in the downtown area in- clude The Veranda, a turn of the century boarding house which has been con- verted into a popular bar and restaurant at the cor- ner of Broadway and Se- cond St. Inside walls are decorated with photographs and memorabilia of early Fort lowers. For the most thorough account of local history, visit the Fort Mvers Historical Museum. Hous- ed in a historic landmark itself - the restored Ptdt Street Depot, which discon- tinued train service in 1971 after 67 years - the museums features a collection of displays and exhibits in- chding graphic depictions and artifacts from the ex- tinct Calusa Indian civiliza- tion as well as the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes. The museum also has scale models, histroy IQ games and a new major exhibit each year. The first gift to the museum was its Ethel Cooper Glass collection of 1,000 peices of art, carnival and depression glass. Due to space limitations, only 175 pieces are displayed at any ane time.

The Koreshan Unity was established by Dr. Cyrus Teed, a Union Army Medical Corp. who was in- spired by a "great il- lumination", which in- structed him to change his name to Koresh, meaning Cyrus in Hebrew, and move his followers to Southwest Florida. His followers were primarily Midwestern city dwellers who enjoyed music, theatre and art. The city they envisioned would cover 300 miles, with 30 -foot wide streets and be home for 10 million Koreshan followers. It never quite materialized, and at the peak of its popularity, the settlement had 200 residents. Of the original 30 buildings, eight remain, in- cluding an open-air theatre and Teed's home. There is also an unusual hollow globe, illustrating Koreshan belief that man reisdes on the inside sur- face of the earth, gazing at the solar system within. The site, open from 8 a.m. to sunset daily, is be- ing restored to its original condition. The park also features nature trails, a boat ramp, fresh and saltwater fishing and cam- ping.

Built atop an ancient trxhan shell mound ( a refuse Leap for Calusa Indians who once inhabited this area ), Cab- bage Key is a cozy inn and restaurant accessible only by boat at Channel Marker 60. The inn was built by playwright and novelist :Hary Roberts Rinehart in 1938. Todav, there are six rustic guest rooms, several guest cottages, a marina. nature trails, and a wooden water tower to climb for a great view of Anne Island Sound. One of the many colour- ful images comprising Cab- bage Key is the wallpaper inside the restaurant - made up entirely of autographed one -dollar bills worth an estimated $20.000. According to legend, a local fisherman tacked the first one to the wall so he could be sure to have a cold beer waiting the next time he returned. For more information, write P.O.

The island has an exciting history as home for Calusa Indians as far back as 5,000 B.C.• a pirate's haunt. sportsman's mecca and elegant resort. Situated just across the Intracoastal Waterway from Cabbage Key in Pine Island Sound, Useppa now operates as a private island resort.

Host to wealthy tarpon fishermen and their families, the resort includ- ed amenities such as golf, tennis, a swimmung pool, imported white sand beach and an illegal casino.
