$25K Donation Made To Heights Foundation By San-Cap Rotary he Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva recently made a $25,000 donation to the building fund for The Heights Foundation’s Cultural Arts & Community TCenter. The gift is one of several recent donations that finish the capital campaign to complete construction of the $5.7 million building. Construction will resume in early July. When complete, The Heights Center will be a place for all residents of Harlem Heights to gather and grow. Education, opportunity, health and wellness, and access to the arts will create pathways for self-sufficiency and commu- nity development. “Many of those who live in the Harlem Heights are the backbone of service work- ers on Sanibel and Captiva Islands,” said John Grey, incoming president of the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva. “Community service is one of the major activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life in their community. We believe in helping our neighbors build a better life for their families.” The Heights Foundation is a 501(c)3 grassroots organization that works to build strong, self-sufficient families in the Harlem Heights neighborhood. The Foundation’s mission is to promote family and community development, support education, health

John Grey, incoming president of the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva, holds a $25,000 check for The Heights Foundation and wellness, and provide the benefits of enrichment, expressive and cultural arts. “We are most grateful to this outstanding community organization. Because of their support, we will resume construction of the building in early July,” said Kathryn Kelly, Heights Foundation founder and executive director. Harlem Heights was originally settled as a rural agricultural community. Approximately 1,200 children live in a mixture of single-family homes and multi-family apartments. Families are not able to easily access family support services located in downtown Fort Myers, and benefit greatly from programs located within the neighbor- hood. ISLAND SUN - JUNE 22, 2012 11

Matt Mitchell ight fishing for snook Sout along the beaches was a good bet this week. Strong east winds made the beach the calmest place to be once you made it out through the passes. Fishing from Blind Pass north to Johnson Shoals, schools of snook were easy to spot cruising right up against the sand. Live shiners thrown out in front of the cruising fish caught snook after snook. Most are around 24 inches and a blast to catch-and-release on light tackle. Along with the snook on the beach there are also lots of keeper-size trout. Any place you find hangs, rocks, ledges and downed trees, you will catch fish. Often the snook and trout are mixed in Hunter and Eli Jolly with one of more than a dozen plus redfish caught one morning this week with Capt. Matt Mitchell together or at least close together.

The flowers and fruit that cluster near the top amid the leaf umbrella are pear-shaped or spherical, smooth-skinned and green to dull yellow-orange in color. The wild fruit is much smaller than commercially- grown fruit. Cultivars from Hawaii and Mexico are common in U.S. grocery stores. The papaya’s creamy flowers bloom all year The attractive foliage is reason enough to plant papaya Papaya flourishes as a photos by Gerri Reaves weed in South Florida and actually is a large herb, not a tree. It is considered native by some plant scientists and naturalized by others.  It can reach more than 30 feet tall. The soft trunk contains a milky sap. The beautiful evergreen leaves are up to two feet across and have an intricate shape, resembling large-scale lacework. Seven- or nine-lobed, they are deeply pal- mated -- all veins radiating from the same point on the hollow stem. In turn, the lobes subdivided. The funnel-shaped creamy flowers are about two inches long with five petals. They bloom all year round, so the plant produces the melon-like fruit throughout the year too. To produce the best fruit, papaya needs sun, fertile well-drained soil, plenty of mois- ture, and protection from the cold. Plant this somewhat sensitive plant where it will be protected from wind. Papaya is susceptible to a number of pests. Planting several specimens is advisable, since male and female flowers occur on separate plants. Fruit usually occurs only on bisexual or female plants. It is fast-growing and rather short-lived, so keep a round of plants going. It’s not only the creamy fruit that is edible. So are the numerous glistening black Waverunners-Parasailing-Yamaha Scooters-Bicycles-Beach Chairs & Umbrellas-Sailboats seeds in the hollow center.

Yucatan Shrimp! selected by Don Brown Farewell by Carol H. Ehrlich Alone at the window I stand and watch a flaming evening sun poise over the jagged mountain pro- file, flirt lightly with its peaks, settle in for deep caress, then penetrate its core.

A rosy wash of afterglow covers all, but too soon the color drains, turns dusky. Peaks are etched against the sky black on grey. The sky-shroud darkens and in moments all is gone.

Alone at the window I stand, bereft. Blackness is all that is left. It drenches the night.

Dropping down to 90 feet, it provides numerous and changing environments for a multitude of special- ized marine life. Within days of being sunk, tiny ani- mals begin to attach themselves to the surface of the artificial reef. Small fish come to the reef to feed and lay their eggs, while larger fish migrate to the area to feed on the smaller fish – and so the food chain evolves. Over time, the bio- diversity becomes larger and more com- plex attracting more marine life, on and around the ship. Adding to the already existing enclave, called Charlie’s Reef, which consists of railroad hopper cars and a sunken barge. As Mike Campbell, Lee County natural resources senior environmental specialist, explained, “Even the chains and the extensions around the ship will not only hold the ship in place but also fish and schools of bait, which will bring bigger fish... but you know what bigger fish bring? Tourists. And what will they do once they are here? They are going to stay at your hotels and eat at your res- taurants.” “We have over 20 different sites of artificial reefs, and within those sites, we have a lot of different depth limits. We also have a lot of wrecks off shore that were not sunk on purpose. I think one The owner of Nervous Nellie’s on Fort Myers Beach welcomes the reef and expects it to boost the dive business in the area was sunk by a U-boat, so we have a lot of wrecks out there that people can see. One of the problems is that they are so far out that they are difficult to get to. So this is going to be a midway point to get to between those far away wrecks and short reefs. It will be 28 nautical miles west of Redfish Pass near Charlie’s Reef.” According to Joe Weatherby of Reef Makers, “Our plan for the Mohawk is to make it one of the world’s premier diving and fishing experiences. There’s a lot of different species that will gather out there due to the relief of the ship. Certainly, we anticipate a goliath grouper that we often see on wrecks, and for scuba divers, this will be a place you can go to see a really cool ship and have a big fish experience.” “She already has an interesting history and looks quite different than some of the rusty old buckets of junk sometimes being reefed. The others are fine, but this has something aesthetically more to offer the public. That’s why Lee County and Reef Makers have worked so hard together to get this particular ship.” “The plan is to attach a WWII lifeboat Goliath grouper and put replica guns back on the ship. get more people diving and put Fort and jumpstart the The propeller, anchor, tackle, original Myers on the map as a diving destina- Lee County diving decks and the stacks will all be intact, tion.

Locally, Lee County netted T301,295 pounds of food and Collier County reported collections of 269,340 pounds. Many local food pantries receive the donations that were collected. At one local food pantry, a young boy was able to select a box of Pop Tarts and he excitedly told his mother, “Oh boy, now maybe my friends will come to my house to play again.” Another child proclaimed, “Wow, look at all the food we have now” because his family had received some vegetables.
