The Islands’ adopted son

Richard and Mead serve birthday cake at Francis B ailey’s last birthday
party.
Some things never change, but
some have to.
The Sanibel Packing Company
was founded in 1899 by Frank P.
Bailey, 64 years before the Sanibel
Causeway was built. The Sanibel
Packing Co. provided groceries and
general supplies to locals and visi­
tors.
Today his company operates as
Bailey’s General Store, thriving in
its 115th year serving Sanibel and
Captiva Island visitors, and under
the care and direction of the family's
third generation of Baileys. Bailey's
store has evolved into Sanibel's onestop shop for all grocery, hardware
and gift needs.
Frank's son, Francis, took over
the family business in 1948, was

Richard went back (o school and completed

"Our third child attended that graduation
as a babe-in-arms,” he recalled.
More than 30 years of marriage and three
children (Callaway, 22, Bailie, 20, and
Dane, 17) later, Richard and Mead recalled
their early impressions of Sanibel and how
they ultimately came to reside on the islands
in 2004.
“We drove down to Sanibel from
Virginia in an old convertible sports car."
Mead said with a laugh. "We got sunburnt
like crazy."

Islanders w on’t have to hit Bourbon St. this year to
party like they do in New Orleans.
Three days before the real festival in New Orleans,
Sanibel Community Housing and Resources will put
on its best version of Mardi Gras on March i at the
Dunes G olf and Tennis Club from 6 to 9 p.m. This is
the second year Mardi Gras comes to Sanibel. and
CHR Treasurer M elissa Rice believes it will be a m as­
sive hit again.
"Last year was fabulous for a first-time event," she
said. “We hit capacity at the Dunes last year, we
believe w e’ll exceed that this tim e.”
The

and

with prizes and

silent

and 50/50 raffle
will round out
the fundraising
efforts o f the
evening, with a
number of items
available,
"This is money that the agency must raise to fulfill
financial obligations for the current fiscal year." said
Kelly Collini. C H R 's executive director. “We depend
on over $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 in community support to supple­
ment rental income and keep rents affordable for our
families.”
She said many CHR residents not only provide vital
services through their work, but also volunteer for
many island organizations.
“Our staff is working hard to ensure our vacancies
stay low.” Rice said. "It’s been great, it’s very fulfill­
ing helping these people."
"Our goal is to establish Mardi Gras as the premier
island fund-raising event for fam ilies." said Tim
Garmager, chair of the CHR development committee.
"Supporting affordable housing for our island work­
ers, retired citizens and the disabled just makes sense
in terms o f providing a diverse com m unity.”

Shell Festival to display ‘Treasures of Sanibel’
Special to the Islander
S eashells com e in many sizes,
shapes, colors, and a multitude of pat­
terns. With this in mind, the Sanibel
Shell Festival Committee has chosen
'Treasures of Sanibel’ as the theme for
the 77th A nnual Shell Festival on
March 6. 7, and 8. It is the major
fundraising event for both the Sanibel
Com m unity A ssociation and the
Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club.
The event draws shell enthusiasts
from across the United States, Canada,
and the Caribbean. This year will have
an even wider international flavor, with
artistic exhibits
from
Barbados,
Honduras, India, Russia, and Armenia.
While the last two artists live in the
U.S. now. the others are actually travel­
ing to Sanibel for the show.
Attendees will have the opportunity
to purchase shells and intricate shellcrafted items
at
the
Festival.
Throughout the year, volunteers meet

Shell Crafters are creating elaborate flo­
ral bouquets and many other shell craft
items inside. The funds raised from the
sale of these items are used to support
the Community House. There will also
be various craft demonstrations held on
the grounds throughout the Festival.
The Sanibel-C aptiva Shell Club
sponsors the Sanibel Shell Show inside
the Com m unity House during the
Festival. In the Scientific Division, vis­
itors have an opportunity to see shells
from around the world. In the Artistic
Division, festival goers will be amazed
at the breathtaking creations made from
shells and sea life that have been
entered in the show. There will be floral
arrangem ents, shell tables, many
sailor's valentines, and a myriad of
other items. This juried com petitive
show is.open to all shell collectors and
artists.
This year there will be a special cat­
egory in each division titled ‘Treasures
o f Sanibel.' and awards will be given to
exhibits that best reflect this festival
theme. In addition to the scientific and
artistic exhibits, there is a specimen
shell booth and professional artists will
have sailor's valentines, floral arrange­
ments. and other shell creations for sale.
There is no entrance fee to the sales
and activities on the Shell Festival
grounds. A $5 donation is requested by
the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club to visit
the Shell Show inside the building.
Funds raised from these donations are
given out in the form of grants to sever­
al local educational and conservation
organizations, to the Bailev-Matthews
Shell Museum, and to support marine
scholarships at both University o f South
Florida and F lorida G ulf Coast
University.

Festival or about either of these worthy
organizations, please go -to their web­

topic of ‘Ding’ Darling lecture
presents
Special to the Islander
Dr. Ken Meyer, founder
of the Avian Research and
C onservation
Institute
(ARC1) and adjunct associate
professor in the University of
F lorida’s D epartm ent of
W ildlife
Ecology
and
Conservation in Gainesville,
will present two programs on
bird research projects in
Florida beginning at 10 a.m.
and 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb.
21, in the free “ Ding”
Darling Visitor & Education
Center on Sanibel Island.
Dr. Meyer obtained his
Ph.D. in zoology from the
U niversity
of * North
C arolina, Chapel Hill, in
1987. From 1987 to 1997
he served as a post-doctoral
and then research associate
in U F’s D epartm ent of
W ildlife
Ecology
and
C onservation
and
was
employed as a research biol­
ogist with the National Park
Service in Big Cypress
National Preserve. He found­
ed ARCI in 1997 and today
serves as executive director
of the nonprofit organization,
which conducts studies that
support the management and
conservation of rare birds.
His “Ding” Darling pre­
sentations will focus on mag­
nificent frigatebirds, but will
also touch upon upcoming
reddish egret tagging in the
Sanibel Island area and on

great white herons.
M agnificent frigatebirds
can be seen along the coastal
areas of the U.S. and
throughout the Bahamas,
Caribbean, and islands off
lhe coast o f Central and
South America. In the U.S.
their only known nesting
colony is on a small island in
the Dry Tortugas.
In late 2012, ARCI began
efforts
to
deploy
satellite/GPS tracking units
on magnificent frigatebirds
in the Florida Keys National
W ildlife Refuges and at this
time is tracking six birds.
Studying the birds’ move­
ments is determining, for the
first time, where the birds
breed, the timing of migra­
tion from roosts to breeding
areas, patterns of seasonal
m ovem ents, their faithful­
ness to roost sites, and the
rate of survival for individu­
als. ARCI is also document­
ing the year-round effects of
human disturbance due to
recreational activities, the
m ost likely cause of the
species’ ongoing decline.
As ARCI builds under­
standing of the ecology and
movem ents o f m agnificent
frigatebirds, researchers will
be able to galvanize solutions
to eliminate threats to the
survival of the spectacular
species.
Admission is free to the
lecture, which is sponsored
by The Sanibel Captiva Trust
Company
and

BIG ARTS Monday Night Film Series
presents the Israel film. Fill the Void at 7
p.m. on Monday Feb. 24. The winner of
14 film festival awards, including Carlo di
Palma Award at the 2013 European Film
Festival, Fill the Void depicts the story of
an Orthodox Hasidic family from Tel
Aviv.
The youngest daughter in her family,
eighteen-year-old Shira is about to be mar­
ried off to a promising young man of the
same age and background. Excited for the
future, it is a dream-come-true but on
Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister,
Esther, dies while giving birth to her first
child. The pain and grief overwhelm the
family, postponing Shira's promised mar­
riage. An offer is proposed to match
Yochay, the late Esther’s husband, to a
widow from Belgium but Yochay feels it’s
too early. However, when the girls’ moth­
er finds out that Yochay may leave the
country with her only grandchild, she pro­
poses a match between Shira and the wid­
ower and as a result, Shira will have to
choose between her heart’s wish and her
family duty.
The 2012 film has a runtime of 90
minutes, is not rated and will be in shown
with English subtitles. Admission to BIG
ARTS Monday Night Film Series is $8
and all screenings throughout the season
begin at 7 p.m. More than just a movie,

lowed by a complementary reception and

vide a superior cinematic experience.

This is Periwinkle Park, popularly
known as a cam pground but more
im portantly a neighborhood o f 240
hopie sites, with homes for retirees and
snowbirds.
The park is fifty years
young, established in 1964 soon after
the causeway was built. There is a
vivid sense of connection and neighbor­

socialization: many sm all, stylish
homes have gorgeous yards filled with

Time for Judah to move on
To the e(liton
Former commissioner Judah’s latest let­
ter is more of the same, tired extremist
rhetoric — always whining and com plain­
ing. Even as he lists $130 million in
approved new projects that have broad
support and that will “ significantly
increase” water storage in South Florida,
provide for additional bridging of
Tamiami Trail to enable more water to be
moved south, and build reservoir projects
on both the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie
Rivers to assist the estuaries, Judah still
isn’t satisfied.
H e’d rather waste additional time and
resources continuing his personal cam ­
paign against sugar farmers.
Every state and federal agency involved
in South Florida ecosystem restoration
have repeatedly reviewed and rejected the
W
e b
concept of a flow-way south, or Plan-6.
Most recently, agency and scientific
testimony before the broad-based 2013
Senate Select Committee on Indian River
Lagoon and Lake O keechobee Basin
rejected the notion that a Plan-6 flow-way
would solve the Lake Okeechobee dis­
charge issues. The SFWMD already has
purchased more than I I 8,000 acres in the
Everglades Agricultural Area for water
projects that are approved and ready to go.
No single* plan or project, in and of
itself, is the perfect solution to preventing
heavy discharges from harming our coastal
water resources. However, as part of a
comprehensive plan, each project can and
will provide some relief. The answer then
is moving forward quickly — while there
is m om entum and'-support from both
Governor Scott and the Florida Legislature
— to authorize, fund and build these proj­

With more than 100 years of drainage
and flood control projects that have
enabled developm ent and encouraged
more than seven million people to move
into our area, there are no “silver bullets”
or quick fixes. Recognizing that, most rea­
sonable people support the current list of
proposed projects that will start providing
relief for our rivers and estuaries.

Raising college tuition reduces After record losses: What’s in
store for manatees in 2014?
access to higher education
By Jeff Kotfkamp
In 20 1 0 , USA Today reported that
roughly 30 percent of freshmen enter­
ing college in our country are firstgeneration college students — or the
first in their family to attend college.
Twenty-four percent o f college fresh­
men are first generation and low
income. Nationally, a shocking 89
percent of low-income first generation
college students leave school within
six years without a degree. These stu­
dents leave school for a variety of rea­
sons — but financial need is at the
top o f the list. Raising tuition at our
colleges and universities has certainly
contributed to the problem.
At a young age I planned to attend
college even though no one else in my
family ever had. My dad has always
worked very hard. Even today —at
age 73 — he gets up at 5 a.m. every
day and drives a truck for a living. He
pushed me to m ake good grades
because he knew education is the
great equalizer in our society. While 1
always knew I was going to college
— there were some things I didn’t
know like how much it would cost —
or that you actually had to be accepted
to a college before attending.
1 always understood that I would
have to pay my own way through col­
lege which meant I would either have
to save enough money to do so — or
would have to-work while in school. I

made a whopping 50 cents to mow

scooped ice cream at an ice cream
shop, cleaned a movie theater every
day, and worked at a record ware­
house — all before 1 was 15.
While growing up in Cape Coral
and attending North Fort Myers High
School I worked as a photographer for
a small newspaper, worked in the
Sears custom er service department,
was a janitor for a dry cleaner's and

Last year went down in the manatee
record books as the species’ worst-ever
year in Florida. In total. 829 deaths
were confirm ed o f an endangered
species whose last known minimum
count was 4,831 in January 2014.
T hat’s 17 percent o f the known popula­
tion dead in a single year. The previous
record number of deaths, 766. was set
in 2010 and regarded as an anomaly - a
rare occurrence caused by extended
cold temperatures; a level o f mortality
not thought likely to appear again any­
time soon.
Until recently, w e’ve been dealing
with the usual suspects that threaten
m anatees:
w ater control structures,
entanglement in or ingestion o f marine
debris, and watercraft, with some cold
stress, and m ortality of very young
calves mixed in. Red tide often loomed
offshore of southw est Florida as a
potential threat. And on the rare occa­
sion would be the manatee that had the
privilege o f dying of old age - a feat
most in the population don’t achieve
due to the threats they face.
In the past few years, attention has
been focused on bigger, more nefarious
threats that no one knows how to rem e­
dy. In the southwest, red tides are find­
ing ample food when they blow inshore,
and are persisting, killing large numbers
of manatees and other marine life. For

A C h ris tia n Many thanks for Fair support
In our society it seems that the term Christian gets
used almost flippantly to meet the desire of the com­
municator. But true, orthodox Christianity may be
revealed a bit different than most think. Unlike many
conceptions, Biblical Christians make a huge distinc­
tion between religion and Christianity. Religion is
defined as an organized
collection of beliefs,
cultural system s, and
world views that relate
humanity to an order of
existence (Wikipedia).
While there are defin­
ing borders to the term,
Christianity is better
defined as a people
group embracing a rela­
tionship with the Son of
God.
What defines a true
follower of Christ is
someone
who
has

both
the
salvific nature and lord­
ship of the person of
Jesus Christ. It is an
understanding
that
Jesus paid the price that
the Father demanded
for sin (therefore understanding that we cannot earn
our way into heaven) and allowing Him to be lord
over our lives. This acceptance is not something that
is purely intellectual. Instead, it is walked out in a
close relationship with the Spirit of God through a
continual shaping of our will to His. A Christian is
not one that lives by a list of do’s and don’t’s but is

Recently our speaker series
committee invited Todd Logan, the
playwright of Defamation, to speak
to us about his extremely thoughtprovoking play being presented
now on-stage at the BIG ARTS
Herb
Straus
Theater,
Sanibel. Todd said, “This play was
not one that he intended to write
sum

but that a personal experience
brought his attention to the differ­
ences in the way people look at the
world” .
Actually, the way he looked at
the world. This got him
thinking about his
own preconceived
ideas
about
m any things
in general;
class, reli­
gion, gen­
der. where
people
1 lived, and
a plethora
of
other
in f lu e n c e s
on
his
u n c o n s c io u s
t h o u g h t
processes.
This
was the seed from
which grew this amazing
play.
Preconceived notions of
race, class, ethnicity, and religion
can color our observations of the
world around us. The ideas we
carry around with us are not always
actual truths. All of us are guilty of
some form of prejudice and our
personal truths can be slightly
segued.
The play Defamation is present­
ed as a courtroom drama; an
African American woman is suing
a Jewish reaj estate developer for
Defamation of Character.
That
premise alone can stimulate pre­
conceived thought activity toward
one side or the other in this case.
That is exactly what Todd wants to
examine. Todd said, “Watching
the testim ony in this case and
observing the lawyers questioning
the w itnesses is like a tennis
m atch...point one side and point
other side.”
W hat is the actual truth and
what is the perceived truth and
why? The twist is that the audience
is sitting as the jury and they will
be voting on the verdict. After the
verdict is rendered, the audience,
gets a chance to engage with the’
playwright and actors in a discus­
sion about the play, and why that
verdict may have been reached.
Sounds like a great evening of the­
ater to me, so buy your tickets
now. After the' Arts and Crafts
Fair, Rotary will be planning a
social evening at the theater to see
Defamation. Why not do the same
with your friends?
The Sanibel-C aptiva Rotary

NBA Legend comes to SWFL,
donates $1OOK to Quality Life Center
By ROBBIE SPENCER
rspencer@breezenewspapers.com
Hundreds of exuberant Fort Myers kids
witnessed “Magic” on Wednesday.
Hall of Fame NBA legend, business­
man. and professional speaker Earvin
''Magic" Johnson spoke at the Quality
Life Center's call to action fundraiser on
Feb. 12. Hundreds of kids eagerly await­
ed Magic’s arrival at the Center, where he
held a brief press conference around 6
p.m. before greeting around one thousand
people at the STARS Complex in Fort
Myers.
The nonprofit known affectionately as
“The Q,” the Center has been a safe haven
for children in southwest Florida for over
20 years, transforming the community by
developing the potential of underserved
populations in the area with adult job
development training and early learning
and youth development programs, accord­
ing to their website, qualitylifecenter.org.
Magic lauded the leadership of the Q ’s
Executive Director. Abdul Muhammad,
and Board of Directors member Ted

“I’m here because they do great work,”
he said. “I’m a product of a place just like
this.”
Sottong is also president of Pickup the
Ball, a nonprofit in Fort Myers that seeks
to strengthen pickup basketball in com­
munities across the country. Sottong
reached out to Magic via Pickup the Ball
hoping not only to raise funds, but also

awareness for the Quality Life Center.
“I think it’s very important that Mr.
Johnson has come here,” he said. “One of
the things we haven’t done well is get our
name out there. Mr. Johnson being here
has allowed us to do that in a big way.”
According to Connie Ramos-Williams
of CONRIC PR & Marketing, the Quality
Life Center is in jeopardy because of a
looming $700,000 balloon mortgage pay­
ment due in March.
Magic bumped fists with any child
within reach, even picking up a little boy
with a birthday hat to pose for a photo. He
spoke passionately about the importance
of getting these kids a quality education,
and keeping the center open to keep them
safe.
"I see all these beautiful kids who have
a safe haven at the Q ... The Q is all about
making sure that these young people
understand that education will be their
key to success in life.” he said. "It also
provides other skills for them. We need
corporations in Fort Myers and surround­
ing this incredible city to not only invest
in the ails and incredible colleges, but also
invest in the Q.”
And. he put his money where is mouth
is.
“ I didn't come from California just to
talk to people." Magic declared. "I’m not
going to ask the community that first 1
shouldn’t do mvself. I realize I should do
my part, so I'm going to invest $100,000
myself.”
The Q erupted with cheers, one Magic
sized step closer to keeping their haven
open for business.
“W e're very pleased for this day to
come,” said Mr. Muhammad. "He has
parlayed his skill, symbolized it in busi­
ness, and has become an extremely suc­
cessful model for all children, people
throughout the country. We are very
grateful for his presence.”

MyChart users. It provides helpful and convenient features,”
said Mike Smith, chief information officer with Lee
Memorial Health System. “While there are other systems
around that offer some of these features, no other offers the
full breadth of capabilities that MyChart does - including all
the features that we have yet to turn on! Our patients are very
happy with MyChart, and adding the app has made it an
even more convenient and valuable resource for them.”
The use of MyChart and electronic health records has not
only simplified the delivery of safer, more reliable, and bet­
ter coordinated care, but has also encouraged the growing
Special to the Reporter
The Lee Memorial Health System now offers a MyChart
Mobile App for patients to access their medical records. The
MyChart App is the only one of its kind in the area, offering
patients 24-hour access to health records, information about
physician appointments, tests, and other medical services
from any Android or Apple device with internet access. The
MyChart App gives patients the information they need right
at their fingertips, anytime, anywhere.
“This is a very powerful and impressive tool that is now
available for Lee Memorial Health System’s 40.000
Congenital Heart Defect Awareness
PHOTO PRO VIDED
The Lee County Board of County Com m issioners officially declared the w eek of Feb. 7-14 to be
C ongenital Heart Defect Awareness W eek in Lee County encouraging all citizens to increase
awareness, education, and services for congenital heart defects, which each year affect thou­
sands of babies in Florida. Pictured above, Eric Eason, D.O., pediatric cardiologist with
G olisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida (GCHSW FL); Susan Ryckm an, VP of patient
care services for GCHSW FL; and Frank and Nerida Perez, and their daughters Zoe and Chloe,
were present to accept the proclam ation at the Lee County Board of County Com m issioners

B e a c h K iw a n is
trend of having patients more engaged in their health care.
The MyChart app offers:
■ One seamless shared record:
The use of electronic health records puts the patient, care­
giver. physician, and specialists all on the same page: pro­
viding a single record across all settings to support coordi­
nated care focused on the specific needs of the patient.
■ Quick and easy access to your physician’s office:
The convenient features of MyChart offer patients a little
something we all can use more of - time! With the push of
a few buttons you have the power to: request prescription
refills; receive important health reminders (coming in
2014); send messages to your physician's office: and
review, request, or cancel appointments.
■ Quick and easy access to your medical information:
MyChart provides access to your health summary, med­
ications, and most test results. By giving the patient direct
access to this information, MyChart lets patients monitor
their care and especially helps those with chronic conditions
to better manage their health. Individuals with chronic dis­
ease can receive health reminders when regular tests are due
and afterwards review the results and their doctor's instruct
tions all through MyChart. Having MyChart enables patients
to be pro-active and gives them a sense of confidence and
satisfaction with their care.
■ A tool to help you assist with a family member’s care:
If authorized, MyChart provides access to the above fea­
tures on behalf of a loved one. This can be an invaluable tool
for monitoring children, elderly parents, or other loved ones
who need help managing their health. Patients with effi­
ciently managed care have fewer visits to the hospital, which
means more time spent doing the things you enjoy with the
people you love.
To get started with MyChart, visit your doctor and ask for
an activation code. Activation codes can be provided, in per­
son, by any participating Lee Physician Group. Lee
Convenient Care, or Florida Neurology Group provider. To
learn more about MyChart, MyChart Mobile App, or to acti­
vate your code, visit LeeMemorial.org/MyChart.

PRESERVING PARADISE
Vegetation Com m ittee: Plant this...not that!
Special to the Reporter
How do we know what makes a plant
good?
Consider choosing native plants that are
self-sustaining to their environment, provide
food and shelter for wildlife, grow naturally
and flourish without extra maintenance, and
require no fertilizer.
Almost one-third of plants growing wild
in Florida are not native. Some non-natives
have been introduced and grow rapidly, outcompeting and displacing native plants and
disrupting native plant communities. Many
are typically difficult to eradicate and may
eliminate or alter habitat for wildlife.
Contrast the Seaside Mahoe (Thespesia
populnea) with the Sea Grape (Coccoloba
uvifera). The former outcompetes other trees
and grasses that stabilize beachfront areas.
The Sea Grape, a native, is hardy, provides

Sea Grape.
great bird habitat, has edible fruit, and the
leaves provide a natural mulch. Choose the
Sea Grape!
Another example is the Mexican Petunia
(Ruellia brittonia). Like Seaside Mahoe.
Mexican Petunia has been designated an
invasive exotic species by the Florida Exotic
Pest Plant Council. It has invaded nine
states, is not used by butterflies, has .a ram­

pant root system and actually sprays its seed
which can persist in the soil for years.
Mexican petunia is certainly a bad actor!
Make the switch to another native petu­
nia, the Wild Petunia (Ruellia caroliniana )
which is hardy in sun or shade and is a host
plant for Malachite and Buckeye butterflies
with the same blue color. Another good
choice would be Blue Porterweed
(Stachytorpheta jamaicensis), a hardy shrub­
by ground cover, grows in shade or sun and

a butterfly nectar plant. Go Native!
When in doubt about your choices, con ­
sult the following websites or a local native
plant nursery where knowledgeable staff
will either make a visit to your property or
discuss good choices there at the nursery.

In the first five weeks of 2 0 1 4 Lee
County Domestic Animal Services, in
addition to routine calls, responded to
160 calls for cruelty and neglect, 99
calls for sick and injured animals, and
46 calls regarding abandoned animals.
Among the abandonments last week
was an elderly dog left in a wooded
area, presumably to die. This 18 year
old Lhasa Apso was blind and severe­
ly matted, among suffering from other
numerous medical conditions. She,
unfortunately, had to be humanely
euthanized due to her condition.
These statistics are not new to
Animal Services’ staff.
“ We want to em phasize, once
again, that there is no reason for any
animal to suffer neglect or abandon­
ment when Lee County offers pro­
grams to residents who can’t afford to
feed their pets or provide veterinary
care,” said Glenn Johnson, LCDAS
Operations Manager.
Anyone receiving public assistance
is eligible for these programs which
are funded by charitable donations to
the Animal C are Trust Fund. There
are also low cost clinics throughout
the county for owners who are not
receiving any type of assistance but
are having financial problems.
“These animals did not end up in
these conditions overnight; they have

Interactive talk to explore
ancient Christian ‘roadmap’
Special to the Reporter
We Proudly Serve
U v iz d

captivasanibel.com
v Sop fj
It’s one of the w orld’s most universal
teachings, containing the Golden Rule,
the Lord’s Prayer, and instructions like
“love your enem ies.” Yet, 2,000 years
after Jesus first voiced these ideas on
the hillsides o f Galilee, his “Sermon on
the M ount” doesn’t always seem easy to
practice. This is why Chet M anchester,
a Christian Science lecturer from New
York, has enjoyed exploring it in depth
with audiences around the world.
“I grew up memorizing these familiar
ideas in Sunday School” Manchester
said, “but not until I traveled to the Holy
Land did Jesu s’ m essage really hit
home. I began to see his sermon as not
just another moral teaching, but as the
heartbeat of a love so radical that it
changed people’s lives and, ultimately,
the course of human history.”
In this 60-m inute inspirational talk
for the com m unity, M anchester will
unpack the Sermon on the Mount as a
“roadmap for life,” a spiritual GPS that
anyone can use to find direction for
their lives, relationships and careers.
M anchester worked internationally
as an artist and creative director before
embarking on his work as a Christian
Science practitioner and lecturer. He
was instrum ental in developing the
exhibits for the M ary Baker Eddy
Library in Boston, Mass., and will share
a perspective on how Eddy’s writings
have shed new light on Jesus’ life and
healing work.
This one-hour interactive talk is for
all ages and faiths. M anchester will
speak on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. at
the Sanibel Community House on 2 1 7 1 .
Periwinkle Way. Refreshments will be
served. All are welcome.
For more information on the event,
call June Sieber at 395-9078.

Artichoke Fritters with Lemon Aioli
Loretta Paganini held her weeklong cooking classes for
the 17th year in a row at the Jacaranda Restaurant between
Jan. 27-31 for those lucky attendees who got to learn first­
hand from a master how to cook traditional Italian favorites.
Paganini was bom in Bologna, Italy and first learned how
to cook from her mother, a renowned chef and television
personality in Italy, so she comes by it naturally. She had the
opportunity to train under famous chefs, continuing her edu­
cation at Cordon Bleu in Paris and has been certified by the
International Association of Culinary Professions. She main­
tains membership in the IACP and the American Culinary
Federation and is the founder of the Tri State Association of
Cooking Schools.
By opening The Loretta Paganini School of Cooking in
Chesterland, Ohio, she is able to bring culinary education to
hundreds of recreational students. She is also recognized as
a local and national television personality, having appeared
on shows like “CBS This Morning." She starred in a nation­
al video for Weight Watchers to teach new members the
benefits of a healthy lifestyle. She has written cookbooks
and contributes regularly to cooking articles in local maga­
zines and newspapers.
Attendees had the choice to take a day of classes or the
entire week as many chose to do. Each day was a different
theme - In a Tuscan Kitchen, Mushr(x>ms and Truffles,
Tapas, Paella and Sangria, A Burst of Flavor: Cooking with
Fresh Herbs, and Deliziioso Dinner.
Each day featured a wide variety of dishes that reflected
a topic. For example, Tapas, Paella and Sangria started out
with a glass of Sassy Fruit Sangria. The drink was prepared
on the stage which featured a mirror so that everyone could
see how each was prepared. Following that, Spinach
Empanadas, Tortilla di Patata, Chorizo Stuffed Mini Sweet
Pep[)ers, Shrimp tie Ajo, Mushrooms Segovia Style, Tomato
Serves 8
1 (16 oz.) pkg. frozen artichoke hearts, thawed &
drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 lg. eggs, beaten
1 tsp. lemon zest
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
I tsp. salt
Pour 3 inches o f vegetable oil into a heavy bottomed
pot and place over medium heat.
Coarsely chop the artichokes and put them in a large
mixing bowl. Add the garlic and scallions, buttermilk,
eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a sep­
arate bowl and quickly mix the dry ingredients into the
artichoke ingredients and mix well to incorporate.
Heat the oil to 3758F in a deep heavy skillet. If you
don't have a deep-fat thermometer, drop a I inch cube of
Gaspacho with Vegetable Confetti. Mediterranean Salad
with Sangria Vinaigrette, Paella Valenciana with Seafood
and Chicken, and finished with Coconut Macaroons and
Almond Flan Cake with Fresh Strawberries and Ice Cream.
Loretta had an attendee come up and assist with each dish,
while imparting helpful hints and colorful stories from Italy
to accompany the instruction.
Many attendees have been com ing for years, including
Judy Goldenberg, who has com e to all of the 17 Sanibel
bread in the oil. If it turns golden brown within 1 minute,
the oil is hot enough. Remove the bread and proceed with
the recipe.
Drop the fritters by the heaping tablespoon into the hot
oil. Fry a few at a time until golden brown, about 5 min­
utes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining
artichoke batter. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to
serve. Serve with sauce.
Lemon Aioli Sauce
2 coddled egg yolks
1 tsp. mustard
1 cup com oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
■Place the egg yolks and mustard in a food processor and
process for 30 seconds. Slowly add the oil in a thin, steady
stream until it comes to a smooth consistency. Stir in
lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
-Provided by lire Ijoretta Paganini School o f Cooking '
cooking schools over the years and has travelled with
Paganini on three o f her tours to Italy.
Paganini’s classes are a must do for those who love
good food and would like to learn cooking techniques to
do at home. It’s a party of food and entertainm ent that is
not to be missed if you love Italian food. Paganini gra­
ciously shares one o f her favorite recipes with readers
and hopes you enjoy her Artichoke Fritters with Lemon
Aioli.

North’s primary cards and high-card concentrations
make his hand worth an invitational sequence, and
South's primary cards justify reaching game on the
combined holding. After a club lead, should the contract
succeed or fail?
We warrant that the contract will succeed more often
than not in a notrump game. It takes excellent defense,
with a club lead, to stop declarer from taking nine tricks.
East wins the club lead with the ace and returns the
seven, ducked by declarer and West. East must shift, and
one look at dummy should be enough to convince East
that a spade return is the only hope. However, East must
return the six, not the knave! The jack must be retained
to force a high card from declarer later in the play.
Declarer wins and starts hearts. West wins the first or
second heart and can exit with a spade. Declarer can still
make the hand by cashing the hearts and guessing the lie
of the cards, but the odds are good that he will not do so.
Note that, had 1’ast led the jack of spades the first time.
West would now not be able to play spades without giv­
ing declarer his fulfilling trick.

an im pressive dish that is

W hile the shrim p is the center­
piece o f shrim p scam pi, the pasta

and the visual appeal on the dish.
Linguini and angel hair pasta are
favorite options.
This same basic recipe can be
em ployed w ith various other types
o f shellfish, including lobster tails,
along with pasta. W hile the cooking
tim e for the seafood may vary, the

sauce and the options for the pasta
rem ain the same.
Bew are o f overcooking both the
shrim p and the pasta, and use the
freshest shrim p and garlic as well as
quality pasta. This do esn ’t mean
frozen shrim p are out.

appreciate the value o f a college ed u ca­
tion and it m otivated them to be su c­
cessful in life.
F ortunately, w hen w e w ent to school
it w as a c tu a lly p o ssib le to pay for
school. U nfortunately, to d a y ’s first gen­
eration college students in Florida may
no longer have the ability to pay their
w ay through college. W hy? Because
the average cost to attend college at a
public university in our state is now in
excess o f $ 2 0 ,0 0 0 per year. At a private
school the costs can be double.
Som e have argued that our colleges
and universities are too inexpensive,
particularly w hen com pared to schools
around the country. S h o u ld n ’t our goal
be to have the very best colleges and
universities in A m erica for the low est
p o ssib le tuition? T his is p articularly
true if we w ant to provide access to
h igher education to first generation col­
Manatees
lege students. W hat good is a top notch
university system if 30 p ercent o f your
population c a n 't afford to attend?
Properly funding our colleges and
universities is extrem ely im portant. O ur
h igher education system is critical to the
ec o n o m ic
su c ce ss o f o u r state.
H ow ever, for the im m ediate future we
should avoid further increases in tuition
if at all possible. O therw ise, ob tain in g a
college education w ill be unattainable
for m any w ho sim ply w o n ’t be able to

cated w orkers in our econom y and will
trap future g enerations o f low incom e

On Saturday, Feb. 8, the M en's

played a one-M o-thrcC variable best

two and three repeated on the score
card. You played regular golf in your
foursome, but on holes marked one. you
recorded the one best net ball, on holes
marked two, you recorded the total of
the two best net balls and on holes
marked with a three, you recorded the
total o f the three best net scores in your
foursome and then the one. two and
three were repeated. It kept the score
keeper on their toes!
The w inning foursom e w as cap ­
tained by Rich R om pala w ith Rig
Trembey, Bill Sadd, and Al Krause with
a total score of 117. Rich said they did
it with a num ber o f net birdies and pars
and a few net eagles by Sadd. Krause,
and Trembey. In fact, Trembey, a new
member, had one net double eagle.
In second place was the foursome of
Dan Keys, Tom W are. Joel G oodm an
and. Jack Tukey with a score of 118.
No eagles, but enough net pars and
birdies by all members to com e in a

to catch a m ess o f undersized fish at any

cam e from days w ith a little adversity,
in c lu d in g fog, o v e rc a st sk ies and

push offshore to spaw n soon, look for
good co n cen tratio n s inside the barrier

Sheepshead fishing was very good
over near shore reefs according to Capt.
Shaw n M cQ uade. F ishing d epths from
25 to' 4 0 feet turned up plenty o f big
sheeps, plus grunts, porgies and a few
hogfish. L ike inshore, the action was
best with cloud cover or a slight breeze.
F urther offshore red gro u p er w ere
reported from 85 to 100 feet. Fish up to

If we get a couple w arm s w eeks o f

instead following the leading o f Christ
through His Spirit. And because God is
spirit (Jn 4:24) our walk will be filled
with the evidence o f the supernatural!
The reality o f the Christian walk was
revealed to me most dramatically over
13 years ago on the short-term mission
field. During that tim e, I found m yself in
the m idst o f a ministry that not only
understood our relationship with God
but operated in its supernatural ways.
On this trip (and many subsequent trips
in the following years), I saw the Spirit
of God break into the natural world and
bring emotional and physical healing to
people’s lives. This included restoration
o f past hurts and relationships, individu­
a ls’ hearing being restored (or operable
for the first tim e ever), people literally
receiving sight, and people being healed

o f diseases such as cancer and AIDS.
O ver the years, I have come to realize
that such evidence o f G o d ’s Spirit
com es as people accept the atoning
work and leadership o f Christ. Through
our submission to Jesus and His ways,
there will be undeniable evidence o f the
supernatural. So w hile there are many
ideas o f w hat a Christian is, the Bible
states that we will both do and produce
fruit according to who our true M aster is
(M att 5 :1 5 -2 0 , Jn 14:12). This can only
com e through genuine relationship
through accepting His salvation and
submission to His lordship.

perform ance as her m oth­

the stereotypical dem an d ­

type o f character.
D arry W oodhouse w as sym pathetic

So the reason T heatre C o n sp iracy ’s

and although we never forget we are

A spare, tum bledow n
co tta g e set in L een an e
Ireland, conceals a deadly
species, an aging, infirm
m other, M ag Folan (Joan
O lsen) spinning a w eb o f
lies and deceit to keep a
strangle hold grip on her
c a re g iv in g ,
sp in ste r
daughter, M aureen. W hat
is am azing about the w rit­
ing o f this play by M artin
M cD onagh is how vocal it
is, sm all w onder that the
Marsha
audience is given p erm is­
sion to laugh at the jok es,
w h ich
h a p p e n s' q u ite
often, in spite o f the sub­
je c t m atter.
M c D o n a g h ’s w ritin g
sp a rk le s w ith d ea d p an irony as he
w eaves the tale o f M aureen Folan, a
fo rty -y ear-old w om an trapped by her
cantankerous old m other. M aureen lives
a life o f barren desperation, isolation
and apathy. W hat is am azing is that the
dialogue is as hum orous as the situation
is drab, that is the gift o f the gab that is
so very Irish, along with the lilting tones
o f the w ay the Irish speak English. In
spite o f the laughter em bedded in the
dialogue o f this play, the reaction to the
sto ry p ro d u c e s g asp s and indraw n
breaths .more often than not. W hat is
unique is the playw right uses a te ch ­
nique that we recognize as m elodram a;
a storyline as old as som e stories w e ’ve
seen in m ovies, television and read in
books; w here the heroine fails to receive
a vital piece o f inform ation in a crucial
letter, telegram or phone call; and the
villain, w itch or baddie gets his or her
com euppance in a scene o f sensational
violence. So w hat then m akes this play
such a standout and believable? M ostly
because this playw right know s how to
tell the e sta b lish e d th e m es o f Irish
D ram a, them es o f religion, exile, abject
poverty, penned by the great Irish play­
w rights, B eckett, S ynge, O 'C asey, to
nam e but a few.
M ag, as M cD onagh, draw s her cold
act as a sym bol o f Ireland itself, w ith its
econom ic depression and religious sex­
ual repression; w hich results in keeping
younger people locked into their hom es
w ith th eir parents, denying the next gen­
eration its sexual freedom , forcing a
choice on them to either flee or stagnate
in a p erpetual dance o f codependency,
all the w hile longing to escape the stu l­
tifying atm osphere o f hom e and hearth.

Mangrove Cuckoos are rare inhabitants

What if...: A Lifetime of Questions,
Speculations, Reasonable Guesses,
and a Few Things I Know for Sure
by Shirley Maclaine
“ Beloved actress and bestselling author’ Shirley
MacLaine contemplates a host o f intriguing topics from the
everyday to the esoteric in this all-new collection of ideas
and observations, each of which begins with two simple,
powerful words: What if? Taking this as her starting point,
Shirley explores a wide range of matters —spiritual and sec-
ular, humorous and profound, earthbound and inter-galactic,
personal and universal. From big questions about family,
friendship, politics, war, and religion, her gaze lifts even
higher. A famous trailblazer in making topics such as rein­
carnation and past-life therapy mainstream, Shirley now
takes the lead in opening her mind to crucial questions about
the existence of life on other planets, what that means for
those of us on Earth, and about the true genetic ancestry of
humankind. Along the way, she reflects on joining the tal­
ented cast of Downton Abbey, receiving the prestigious
American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award, and
introducing a new puppy into her formerly one-dog home.
From Shirley’s “W hat i f ’ questions emerges a striking por­
trait o f a constantly curious woman who thrills to new ideas
and discoveries —all while enjoying one o f the most extraor­
dinary and enduring careers in Hollywood. As Shirley says,
“ I like to think that I’m open to exploring anything, always
questioning, trying to live free of preconceptions and blind
certainties.” What if . . . captures the one and only Shirley
MacLaine at her witty, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible
best.” *
Johnny Carson
by Henry Bushkin
“A revealing and incisive account of the King of Late
Night at the height of his fame and power, by his lawyer,
wingman, fixer, and closest confidant. From 1962 until
1992, Johnny Carson hosted
The Tonight Show and per­
meated the American con­
sciousness. In the '7 0 s and
‘80s he was the country’s
highest-paid entertainer and
its most enigmatic. He was
notoriously inscrutable, as
mercurial (and sometimes
cruel) off-camera as he was

ty-seven) until the moment eighteen years later when they
parted ways, the author witnessed and often took part in a
string of escapades that still retain their power to surprise and
fascinate us. One of Bushkin’s first assignments was helping
Carson break into a posh Manhattan apartment to gather evi­
dence of his wife’s infidelity. More than once, Bushkin
helped his client avoid entanglements with the mob. O f
course, Carson’s adventures weren’t all so sordid. He hosted
Ronald Reagan’s inaugural concert as a favor to the new
president, and he prevented a drunken Dean Martin from
appearing onstage that evening. Carson socialized with
Frank Sinatra, Jack Lemmon, Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas,
and dozens of other boldface names who populate this
atmospheric and propulsive chronicle of the King of Late
Night and his world. But this memoir isn’t just dishy. It is a
tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson,
revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin
explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) wom­
anizer, felt he always had to be married; why he loathed
small talk even as he excelled at it; why he couldn’t visit his
son in the hospital and wouldn’t attend his mother’s funeral;
and much more. Bushkin’s account is by turns shocking,
poignant, and uproarious — written with a novelist’s eye for
detail, a screenwriter’s ear for dialogue, and a knack for
comic timing that Carson himself would relish. Johnny
Carson unveils not only the hidden Carson, but also the rau­
cous, star-studded world he ruled.” *
Starting at Zero: His Own Story
by Jimi Hendrix
“It took just four years in the spotlight for Jimi Hendrix
to become an international cultural icon. The sheer impact
and originality of his music and his unique mastery o f the
guitar placed him forever amongst musical giants. But what
of the man behind the public image? Modest and intensely
private by nature, Jimi was shrouded in intrigue from the
moment he first came into the public eye, and the mystery
has only grown with time. Much has been written about him
by experts, fans, and critics, some of it true and some of it
not. He did, however, leave his own account o f himself,
locked away like a Chinese puzzle in his many interviews,
lyrics, writings, poems, diaries, and even stage raps. Starting
at Zero brings all these elements together in narrative form.
The result is an intimate, funny, and poetic memoir —one
that tells, for the first time, Jim i’s own story as only he could
tell it.” *

■ Fishing from a Biological Perspective.
This is a 6-week course that will hone your fishing
skills and abilities and enhance your fishing enjoym ent.
In many ways, the secret to fishing is knowing where the
fish are. To predict this, the saltw ater fisherman must
have know ledge o f the ocean, fish biology and w eather along with a bit o f luck. We will learn about the most
com m on species o f fish encountered in SW Florida; we
will learn about currents, how to read the water, how tide
w orks and how it affects fishing. In addition to academ ­
ic knowledge, we will introduce the world o f saltwater
fly-fishing. We will teach casting, fly-tying, knots and
techniques. For the last meeting, we will arrange- a fish­
ing outing to apply all o f our new -found knowledge.
Class M eets on Friday afternoons: I to 4 p.m., 1/31,2/7,
2/14, 2/21, 2/28. 3/7
Cost: $350
■ M ornings o f O cean D iscovery at Sanibel Sea
School.
Every year, we get asked, "when is cam p for adults?”
Oncc a week, we will spend a 3-hour m orning discover­
ing the environm ent that surrounds us. In Sanibel Sea
School tradition, we will spend a little tim e indoors
learning about the topic o f the day and then venture out
to experience it first-hand. Com e and discover our
island in ways you never have before and learn new
things about the ocean that brought us all here.
Each m orning (9-12) session is $55, or you can sign up
for the series for $500.

U p o n fu r th e r in v e stig a tio n : Laeliocattleya Orchid
comes from a cross-pollinating hybridization of Laelio and
Cattleya genus of which you can easily be confused with the
more than 65-plus species. It is a show stopper, when
blooming there is no passing it by without a closer look! It
has top-heavy glowing flowers suspended by slender stalks,
which gives them'an excuse to dance at any chance they get.
The 5 quinacridone orange, purplish-violet and sunny yel­
low petals are long, soft, and oblong. O f course the 6th petal
is the proverbial orchid nectar
guide for the pollinators. It is dropdead gorgeous, marked with a
magenta landing pad and varying
shades of brilliant orange graduat­
ing to sunshine yellow. And yes,
it's cupped and ruffled with orchid
drama thru and thm. Each flower
stalk is laden with 2-9 flowers, I
easily count 80-plus on our mature
orchid. If you're lucky, you can
smell that faint sweet scent, which I
find strongest early morning and
dusk. After blooming, remove spent
blooms to be ready for the next profu­
sion of blossoms. The dark green
leaves are linear, long cane-like and
really are not noticeable until the flow­
ers emerge and start to show off. The
grey cane bases o f the leaves remind
me o f bamboo and attached by the
roots. A healthy strong orchid will have
numerous silvery' colored roots encir­
cling and securing to its host plant
Orchids are Epiphytes which means
they sit on top of their selected compan­
ion. An orchid obtains moisture and run
off nutrients from their host and in no way
harms them. Our stars parents were natu­
rally occurring epiphytes in the tropics but non-native to our
region. Orchid, just the name and your mind can conjure up
a flower picture that's fanciful and magical. We have had

The Lee County Alliance of the Arts
memorial for the late Ikki Matsumoto
The Lee County A lliance of the Arts recently held a memorial for the late lkki M atsumoto. M atsumoto was a celebrated artist throughout Sanibel, Captiva, and around
the world. He moved to the United States from Tokyo, Japan, in 1955 and moved to Sanibel Island in 1975. He was very active in the Island com m unity, producing posters
for the Island R eporter new spaper and the Sanibel Rotary C lub’s Annual Craft Fair. M atsum oto’s family was joined by hundreds o f adm irers and supporters at the memo­
rial on Feb. 6.
