Florida park an island of relaxation to itself
The tops of the handful of graves were adorned with crosses made of seashells, and live oak, pines, and shells bordered the area. (The Calusa Indians lived in this area for centuries before being driven out in the early 1700s.) Our favorite sunset spot was a lagoon shielded from the shoreline breeze and full of jumping fish and diving birds. One resident alligator keeps swimmers away. We also joined other stooped, eagle-eyed shell collectors at the beach. (The park service has put up a shell identification board, but unfortunately runs no interpretive programs.) "Everyone talks about shelling in Sanibel, but these are the best shells I've ever seen because they're so big," said Diane DeQuinzio of Tega Cay, S.C., who encouraged admirers to take specimens from her bounty. For a different vantage point, kayaking is a great way to explore the island, which is on the route of the Great Calusa Blueway water trail.
Airport-Pulling Road accident seriously injures two
Two people were seriously injured in a three-car accident Friday evening on the northbound lanes of Airport-Pulling Road in North Naples. The lanes were temporarily shut down near the intersection of Winding Oaks Way, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. According to an FHP report, Glennerose Willoughby, 79, failed to slow down while heading northbound on Airport-Pulling. As a result, his 2003 Toyota SUV rear-ended two cars stopped at a red light at Winding Oaks Way. The SUV overturned onto its left side, and North Naples Fire Department officials said they had to extradite the two from the vehicle. Glennerose Willoughby was transported with serious injuries to Lee Memorial Hospital, while his passenger, Sandra Willoughby, 58, was taken to North Collier Hospital with serious injuries.
For horse lovers, Calgary, Canada, has it all
Calgary, the largest city in the province of Alberta, Canada, is on the rise. Over the past few years, local oil companies have enjoyed unprecedented riches from a burgeoning petroleum industry, fueled in part by the oil sands near Fort McMurray to the north. Calgary has also sprouted a vibrant high-tech industry, with hundreds of new companies and dozens of new buildings to house them. Even the housing market is taking off - a rarity at a time when home sales are slumping across most of the continent. Amid all of this growth, one of Calgary's biggest industries is a throwback to the days of the Old West: horses. Every summer (this year it's July 4-13) the city hosts the biggest exhibition and rodeo in the world, the Calgary Stampede. George Brookman recently became president of that organization, and shared some pointers for the best horse-oriented activities in town.
No cable, no problem – until next year
Yes, there are pangs of disappointment and longing for Discovery Channel and TLC from time-to-time, but for what it saves me. I can buy most of the Discovery Channel stuff on DVD for what I save in a month or two.
OTA is not dead and picking the right TV with ATSC built-in is a painless upgrade to the old tube-based models. If you can put up an antenna mast, or even a decent antenna in the attic, show Rogers the door! Ploy or not, if there are enough people enjoying FTA/OTA programmingm, it will not go away.
