She said she will aggressively pursue programming at WSFP-TV on major local issues. "We want to provide locally produced programming that will have an impact on society," she said. Sawyer said she also hopes to produce and host debates on community issues, especially those pertaining to growth management Cameras are rolling on WSFP-TV's first locally produced public affairs series, "Legislative Profiles," which will debut at 6:30 p.m. Monday. The six-part series, featuring one-on-one, 30-min-ute interviews with Southwest Florida's state legislators, was produced and taped in WSFP-TV's Bonita Springs studio, said Chris Daun, public relations director for the public television station.

He said the series will air through March 6. "It is a great coup for WSFP-TV (Channel 30) to have all the area legislators on our series on the eve of the 1989 legislative session," which convenes in April, Daun said. He said the timing of the series is significant because people will have time after the interviews to respond to their legislators about their priorities. Daun said "Legislative Profiles" will be produced and hosted by Gloria Sawyer, WSFP-TV's new senior producerhost. Sawyer, who has been with WSFP-TV for a month, was director of public affairs programming and senior producerhost of Gannett Broadcasting's Radio Division in St Louis from 1982-86.

She resigned from that position to work on a doctorate in political science at the University of Southern California. She has a master's degree in media from Webster University. Sawyer said she is producing "Legislative Profiles" because she feels it's important to provide a I Volunteers needed for TV fund-raiser By MARA VERTREES News-Press Staff Writer A black-and-white tiled floor, old band posters and music from the golden era of rock all add up to create the '50s motif of the Shape, Rattle 'n' Roll Hair Parlor on Estero Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach. The business owned and operated by Beach resident Mary Lu Czulewicz is housed in an old beach cottage, which Czulewicz bought and transformed into a bright new business. "I belive this is one of the oldest buildings on the island," Czulewicz said.

"The people I bought it from had it in the family for over 50 years. "You can tell it is old by the palms. There are 10 old coconut palms on this small piece of property. I think that is more than you'll find on most lots down here." Czulewicz has 26 years of experience in the hair-care business and has owned three othershops. A native of Norwalk, she was trained at Leon's School of Hair Design in Stamford, and worked at a Captain Freedom's hair salon in Westport, before relocating to the Fort Myers area.

While living in Buckingham, Czulewicz opened her first salon, Shear Pleasure, on Palm Beach Boulevard in east Fort Myers. The business did well, she said, but she wanted to be on the Beach, so she closed the shop and moved onto Estero Island, where she has cut hair for eight Czulewicz has spent the past four years as owner and operator of The Barber's A Lady on Estero Boulevard. She said she was happy there, but was in a rented space, so when she saw the opportunity to own her own building, she leaped at the chance. 'My father was in the renovation business in Connecticut, so I know what can be done with a place," she said of the redecorated cottage. "It just goes to show what you can do with a little bit of knowledge and a little creativity." Czulewicz said she calls her shop a hair parlor rather than salon because she wants it understood that the entire family is welcome.

"I do men and children, as well as women's hair," he said. "Sometimes I think the word 'salon' puts men off, and I don't want to do that. In fact, my whole motif is designed to make everyone feel comfortable."

We need individuals, clubs and businesses." He said a minimum of 25 volunteers are needed to man the telephones during the March Pledge, which begins the evening of March 3 and continues through the evening of March 19. Three shifts of about five hours each are available on weekdays, with the first one beginning at 8:30 a.m., the second one at noon and the third at 6:30 p.m. On weekends, there will be only afternoon and evening shifts, beginning at 1 1 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively.

He said the station's operations had been done at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Until WSFP-TV moved into WEVU-TV's former home on Old U.S.

41, the public television station only had a transmitter north of Fort Myers. Its programming came mostly from tapes from WUSF-TV in Tampa and from feed from the Public Broadcasting System. Now, it is producing its own programming, such as "Legislative Profiles," a six-part series featuring one-on-one interviews with Southwest Florida legislators. The series will begin Monday and end March 6. Daun said the funds raised during the March pledge period will determine WSFP-TV's operations budget at this critical stage of development.

"Usually the spouse or friends initiate the trip to the office for a screening. From then, results of the hearing tests I provide help convince them that some action should be taken." The decision to use a hearing aid acts as a revelation for some, for going from a difficult world to one of participation and communication can be very exciting. Well over 90 percent of all hearing loss is attributable to the natural aging process, and too often people tend to deny the failings of their own body. Ignoring warning signs is a part of human nature, and many times those with decreased hearing will cover up this deficiency.

Taking the step to wear a hearing aid is often blocked by a person's pride or misunderstanding about the product, but the frustration which results from hearing loss is no picnic either, Friedman said. With his dedication to personalized service, Friedman helps to alleviate fears and misconceptions about his product, and counts on word of mouth Readers, especially those of you at retirement age or beyond, take a few moments to ask yourself some important questions. Does it seem like people are mumbling when they talk to you? Do you have difficulty understanding women and children when they speak? Do friends or spouses complain that the volume of your television or radio is set too high? Do you find yourself nodding in agreement to a speaker as opposed to really comprehending what they say? Answering yes to any or all of these questions could well indicate a hearing loss problem. Hearing loss affects approximately ten percent of the population in the United States, and about 75 percent of that number have not taken steps to improve their situation, according to Don Friedman, owner of Hearing Aid Services, 15261 McGregor Boulevard, South Fort Myers. Friedman, who operates his business in the McGregor Point Shopping Center near K-Mart said it is very rare for someone to admit he or she has a hearing problem.

"Most of my customers advertising as his business barometer. "Business is good," he admitted, "and that is because people are recognizing their hearing problems and they know that I will provide service, quality, and reasonable prices." Most hearing aids run several hundred dollars, but Friedman has structured his business to reopen the world of clear sound to anyone that wants a hearing aid. He sells reconditioned aids at a considerably lower price than new units, and also rents certain models. In addition, Friedman's hearing aids are from national manufacturers and come with complete warranties. He also will give part-time residents lists of firms in their summer home areas if maintenance is needed.

The hearing aid business allows Friedman to enjoy more than just a dollars and cents life. "Besides making a living, I've got the satisfaction of knowing I helped somebody. Not everybody can say that." Not everyone could hear that statement, either. A trip to Hearing Aid Services might change all that, though. r1 Plenty of pizzazz in our pizzas!
