B-6 The Orlando Sentinel, Sunday, April 19, 1987 Dolphin's kiss is a wish come true ASSOCIATED PRESS 'i if GRASSY KEY A North Carolina girl whose terminal cancer is expected to thwart her goal of becoming a marine biologist was caressed by dolphins as her wish came true at least for a few minutes. Lee White, 15, of Charlotte, N.C., spent several wonderful minutes Thursday in the lagoon of the Dolphin Research Center. She was brought there to fulfill a wish she made two weeks ago after her doctors stopped her chemotherapy and told her parents there was nothing more they could do to save her life. Lee told her parents there were two things she wanted. First, she wanted to see Florida again.

Second, she wanted to swim with a dolphin. "I didn't know how you set something like that up," her mother said. She turned to the Children's Wish Foundation of Atlanta, which has helped realize the wishes of 2,000 terminally ill patients in the past eight years. The organization paid to bring Lee, her parents Rob and Ruth, her brother, Paul, 13, and sisters Margaret, 9, and Emily, 6, to the research center, which used to be home to the Flipper Sea School. "I always wanted to train dolphins at the Seaquarium," Lee said as she was prepared for her ASSOCIATED BESS Lee, who wanted to be a marine biologist, gets a kiss from dolphin.

Nat then gave Lee a piggyback ride by pulling her father through the water as he held her. "I honestly believe that this- is why she lived the last two weeks," Lee's mother said. "She held on just to see the dolphins. I 'Know it's what got her out of the hospital. That's where she should" be now.

Her doctor didn't want to let her go." Lee said, "This is the best thing I ever did in my whole life." Lee and her family plan to -visit Sea World in Orlando on swim. "I won't get to now. I was going to be a marine biologist when I grew up." As Lee entered the water with her father, a 420-pound, 8-foot dolphin glided up to her and gently rested the end of its nose on her cheek. It repeated giving Lee a dolphin kiss without prompting. Lee didn't fear Nat or Tursi, the daughter of an original Flipper stand-in.

Instead, she coaxed her brothers and sisters to enter the water. "Don't worry, he won't hurt you," she told them. Growth puts Florida mouse on the defensive ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLES F.

Conrad and Thompson Funeral Home, Kissim- Florida mouse Description: Big, brown eyes and small pink ears. The adults are brown- and gold-furred in color and white on the underside. Length: About 8 inches. Weight: From 1 ounce to 1.7 ounces. Range: Except for an isolated population along the Gulf Coast of Franklin County, the mouse is confined to the interior of the Florida peninsula and along the Atlantic coast.

Habitat: Open tree stands, clumps of scrubby oaks and other shrubs with scattered patches of bare ground. The area usually is well-drained, sandy soils. Diet: Seeds, nuts, fungi and other plant materials, as well as insects and other small invertebrates. Miscellaneous: The Florida mouse is the only species of mammal entirely restricted to the state. Source: Bare and Endangered Biota ol gist at the Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid.

Even sparse development, Layne said, is bad news for.he Florida mouse because it requires a habitat that is periodically ravaged by forest fires. "They require patches of open ground rather than dense, shady areas," Jones said. t.i) Because the mice are nocturnal, it is a challenge to follow tlieir movements. Jones has resorted to a strategy that her colleagues jpk-ingly refer to as the "shake and bake" technique. Jones traps the mice, tfusts them with fluorescent powder; and releases them.

Using a black light, she traces their nightly peregrinations and has found that, they range as far as 80 feet from, their homes. The "shake and bake" came from her dusting the- mice with powder inside a bag.The powder disappears in two weeks. Many people are unsympathetic to the mouse's plight, she said. She explains her research with' an analogy drawn from a book on' en-dangered species: Some pa'sseti-gers are waiting to board an airplane when some workers start removing rivets from the wing. "You could probably remove quite a few rivets and still have a safe flight," she said.

"But at some point, we here in Florida want to ask ourselves how many of these species do we want to see go by the way." GAINESVILLE Though few Floridians have seen the big, brown eyes and the little, pink ears of the elusive Florida mouse, it is the only species of mammal found exclusively in the state. Now, development is threatening its habitat. The tiny burrowing rodent once lived along Florida's Atlantic coast and throughout the sandhills of the state's interior. But it has disappeared from the Miami area, from the Pinellas peninsula and from thousands of acres along the Lake Wales ridge, say those studying the mouse. "It's not that anyone is hurting this little mouse," said Cheri Jones, a University of Florida student doing her doctoral dissertation on Florida mice.

"It's just that over the past few decades sandhills and scrublands have been going to orange groves, pastures and housing developments." The state considers the mouse a threatened species, a designation not quite as serious as endangered. The brown- and gold-furred creatures mostly share quarters with gopher tortoises, Jones said. Gopher tortoises dig burrows up to 18 feet long in the state's well-drained, sandy uplands. "The mice dig little side entrances and escape routes," Jones said. "The tortoise does the bulk of the work, and the mice move in and do a little remodeling." Scrubby uplands, because they are high and dry, are increasingly attractive to builders because the more popular hammock areas have been developed.

Unlike wetlands, development in sandhills is largely unregulated, said James Layne, the senior research biolo Funeral notice BARON, MAX Funeral services tor Mr. Max Baron. 63, of Longwood, who passed away Friday, will be held Sunday at noon at Beth Shalom Memorial Chapel Memorial contributions canbemadeto the Heart Fund.
