Only four players racked up perfect 4-0 scores in their matches: two from League leading Bathroom Magic, John Gonzalez and Dennis Bender, and two from the Odd Balls, Kip Buntrock and Kelly Greten.
The Sandycappers pounded Sanibel Café 11-5 and moved into a sixth place tie with Fresh Legion Crew. John Riegert, John Bates, and Desmond Fish produced 3-1 matches for the victors and Pete Mindel helped his Sanibel Café avoid and even larger disaster by winning his last two games of the night.
Ken Rasi from the Ball Busters attempted his first safety shot of the season. It didn’t work out well and Ken was heard to state emphatically, “I’ll never shoot one of those blankety-blank things again – ever!”
Chalk & Awe’s Don Lee decided he would experiment by shooting his four games without the assistance of silver bullets. After his four games his shooting average had dropped from 100 to 50% submitted by Bob Buntrock

How Big’s The Shell You Found Today? Sanibel & Captiva – The Shellacious Islands |
Conch ShellsOf the extensive conch family, fighting conchs are those most commonly found on Sanibel and Captiva shelling beaches. Ironically, contrary to its macho name, the fighting conch is one of the few vegetarian univalves. While alive, the seashell flames brilliant orange, but fades under tropical sunshine. It is a shrunken version of the queen conch, which once was fished in Florida for its meat. Conch harvesting is now illegal in the state. |
|
Junonia ShellsThe islands’ most coveted seashell, it belongs to the volute family. Its milky chamber is covered with brown spots on the outside, and the animal that occupies the shell is likewise marked. Shellers who find a junonia on Sanibel or Captiva get their pictures in the local newspaper. |
|
Lightning Whelk ShellsUnlike its cousin whelks, the lightning variety is usually “left-handed.” Thus, its name: Busycon contrarium. It lays its miniature shell eggs in papery egg case streamers that wash up on the beach. Lightning whelks grow up to 16 inches long and were used by early island natives for tools. |
|
Cockle ShellsThe heart cockle is one the islands’ most common shells, though a rarity in other parts of the world. The cockle mollusk is a footed creature that can jump several inches in a single leap. Islanders often use its accommodatingly large cockleshell for soap dishes. |
|
Tulip ShellsBanded tulips and their larger, rarer cousins, true tulips, frequently wash up on island shores to the delight of collectors who revel in their intriguing patterns and delicately swirling form. |
|
Sand dollar ShellsTechnically classified as an echinoderm, not a mollusk, its life is nonetheless protected on Sanibel and Captiva. While alive, the thin, flat sand dollar is brown and bristled with tiny tubes that permit it to breath, move and camouflage itself. Unoccupied seashells bleach to a beautifully white textured pattern, perfect for hanging on Christmas tree boughs with red satin ribbon. |
|
Olive ShellsNamed for its elongated oval shape, the olive comes in a variety of colors and variations, and often sports a glossy finish. By the time it reaches island beaches, it has usually been sun-bleached white, however. Olives seashells rarely grow beyond three inches long |
|
Coquinas ShellsThe beach’s most well-attired clams, they dress in colorful stripes, solids, and even plaids. Opened and flattened, they look like tiny butterflies. Old islanders used to dig them up at the water’s edge to boil for broth. Because they are a food shellfish, coquinas are one of few shells that can be collected live on Sanibel and Captiva. They burrow into shallow sand at the water’s edge. When exposed by a wave, they wriggle back into dampness. If you’ve planted your feet where they’ve washed up, you get the sensation of a foot massage as they burrow beneath you. |

John Earle, Terry Ricotta, Joe Steamer, and John Gonzalez also went 4-0 for the night.
At the end of the season the League member racking up the most 4-0 wins takes home one of the many awards presented by the League. To date 30 players have had 4-0 wins. In first place with eight perfect nights is John Gonzalez from Bathroom Magic. His closest competitors with four 4-0s each are Terry Ricotta and Dave Doane from Bunt’s Ball Busters and Joe Steamer and Jack Dalton from Bathroom Magic. The only other multiple winners are: John Earle, Bob Buntrock, and Dennis Bender with three each and Peter Mindel, Doc Lubinski, Butch Bouchard, and Kevin Pottorf with two each.
With their 11-5 win over George & Wendy’s, Fresh Legion Crew moved into sixth place only three games behind the Sandycappers. The Legion Crew and Sandycappers meet on Monday at American Legion Post 123. The match starts at 6 p.m. Spectators are welcome. Legion Crew Captain Gator Gates predicts that his team will “beat back the challenge from this mosquito-like upstart Sandycappers team from Captiva.” The Fresh Legion Crew was one of the founding teams of the League while this is the initial year of play for the Sandycappers.

Terry Ricotta, Rich Ennis, and Bob Buntrock contributed two wins each for the three times defending League champions. Bathroom Magic is the dream team put together by Captain Dennis Bender and his partner in crime Jack Dalton. They recruited throughout Florida in an attempt to halt Bunt’s Ball Busters drive to a fourth title…so far to no avail. The two teams meet once more on February 17 with the season ending on March 12.
Captain Carol Johnson recruited a Sanibel time-share owner from Chicago to play for her Chalk & Awe team. The result was four straight victories by James Finegan a sharp-shooting school teacher from the Windy City. Finegan plays in three Chicago leagues and easily dispatched Fresh Legion Crew Captain Gator Gates. He’ll be back next year.
Joining Finegan in posting perfect 4-0 scores were Doc Lubinski from the Odd Balls and Peter Mindel from Sanibel Café. Submitted by: Bob Buntrock

Bunt’s Ball Busters and Bathroom Magic are tied for first place in the League’s standings and play each other this Monday, December 26, 6 p.m. at George & Wendy’s Corner Grill. The two teams have played once this season with Bunt’s coming away with a close 9-7 victory. The Ball Busters have won top honors in the League for the past three years. Spectators are welcome for the big match.
Odd Ball Captain Kip Buntrock has been helping his friend Matt Hall build his low pool shooting self esteem by scheduling Hall’s matches only against lady shooters. With this assistance Hall won seven out of eight games in his first two matches. Then along came Pattee Frank who smoked him 3-1 on Monday night. Give Matt a hug the next time you see him. He needs the boost.
A record eleven shooters went undefeated in their matches this week: Jack Dalton, Joe Steamer, and John Gonzalez from Bathroom Magic; Terry Ricotta, Dave Doane, and Bob Buntrock from Bunt’s Ball Busters; Roland Anderson and Mike Smith from George & Wendy’s; Tom Yorgey and Larry Hancock from Fresh Legion Crew; and Jeff Brown from Sandycappers.

Yeah, they are here: My personal Favorite. Florida’s Fresh Honeybells from SUN HARVEST…..YUMMY
Honeybell Wreath In London, the New Year has long been announced by church bells ringing out at midnight, bidding the last year farewell and welcoming the coming twelve months. We can’t think of a more cheerful way to ring in the New Year than with our Honeybell Wreath. In this gorgeous arrangement, you’ll find 19 pounds of Honeybells, aptly named for their mouth-watering flavor and bell-like shape and nicely topped with a 4-ounce bag of orange pecans. Order early – these citrus chimes ring through January only. CLICK HERE TO ORDER AND PUT IN THE PROMO CODE: “DAILY” FOR 10% OFF YOUR GIFT PURCHASE! http://www.sunharvestcitrus.com/ Navel Oranges The Navel, our only variety bold enough to bare its midriff, is justifiably confident. A world favorite, theFlorida navel orange is easy to peel and seedless, contains an incredible sweetness coupled with just the right amount of tang, and offers a day’s dose of vitamin C. Its natural goodness and packaging make it a healthful grab ‘n’ go snack. Citrus trivia side note: the Navel’s “inny” is actually caused by a baby orange within the fruit. Now how cute is that?
Honeybell Tangelos The Honeybell’s name comes from its flavor, form, and family tree. Its nectarous taste and unique bell shape give it its first name, while its ancestors — the tangerine and pomelo (A.K.A. grapefruit) merge to form its last. More specifically, the Honeybell descends from the Dancy tangerine and the Duncangrapefruit. The result is an incredibly easy-to-peel fruit with savory sweetness. Like all good things, however, the Honeybell season comes to an end — and quickly. Available in January only, so order now!
