Sanibel-Captiva Renourishment Project Monitoring Has Begun he annual physical monitoring of the 2013-14 Sanibel and Captiva Islands Beach Renourishment Project began May 18. The purpose of the monitoring is Tto evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the project. Although you may see a boat hovering off the beach, there will be no disruption to beachgoers. Required by the Florida Department of Environmental Projection, monitoring sur- veys are conducted annually for a period of three years after project completion and then biennially until the next beach nourishment event or the expiration of the project design life. The project began October 7, 2013 and was completed on December 26, 2013. The work is being done by CB&I Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. using a 24-foot survey vessel loaded with the latest hi-tech survey and monitoring gear. Topographic and bathymetric profile surveys of the beach and offshore are conducted. Survey and engineering reports summarize and discuss the data, the performance of the beach fill project, and identify erosion and accretion patterns within the monitored area. Results are analyzed for patterns, trends, or changes between annual surveys and cumulatively since project construction.

Highly adapt- Table, they can survive in warm and cold climates, and will simply move to a more suitable environment if food becomes scarce on its home turf. Cottontail rabbits are not only cute and cuddly, but quite clever as well. When a potential predator approaches, the cottontail will “freeze” in an effort to remain unnoticed. If that tactic fails and the animal (or human) continues to gain ground, the rabbit will hop away in a zig-zag pattern. If a chase ensues, the cottontail will circle its home range, jumping from side to side, in order to break its scent tracks. Despite the ability to reach speeds up to 18 mph, they must be on high-alert at all times. In April, a male Eastern cottontail was rescued from the clutches of a family cat. Upon presentation, the young bunny – patient #15-1099 – had multiple abrasions that were, fortunately, relatively minor. The wounds were flushed and the rabbit was treated with antibiotics to stave off any infections and pain medications to make it more comfortable. Wild rabbits often fare poorly in captivity because they view their human caretakers as potential predators. Despite being housed in cozy hutches in one of the ICU’s quiet rooms, young bunnies often experience dramatic weight losses once they find themselves separated from their mothers. Happily, this patient is an exception. “He’s a fat little thing with fur,” said Dr. Brittany with a laugh. The cottontail’s wounds are healing well, and when he is old enough to survive on his own, he will be released in a safer environment. Once there, it is hoped that he will find a mate and go on to be the proud papa of his own brood of fat little bunnies. Do you ever wonder what types of critters find themselves at the wildlife clinic and why? CROW’s Visitor Education Center offers regularly scheduled presentations led by the clinic’s medical staff. The center also has self-guided tours, hands-on exhibits and live video footage highlighting patient stories. Call 472-3644 ext. 228 or go to CROW’s web- site for a complete schedule.

You can’t go to the store and buy a can of confidence that will let you do great things. Instead, building confidence happens as a four stage process called the 4-Cs. WE’RE PERFECT FOR Stage One: Commitment – This is when you commit to a goal, whether to finish SPECIAL OCCASIONS. a triathlon, lose a couple of pounds or commit to updating your estate and finan- cial plan to build a bigger, more secure WE ALSO MAKE ANY future for yourself and for those you love.

Stage Two: Courage – After you com- mit to a goal, you have to have the cour- age to work through the burn of learning or trying something new. A good illustra- tion of this is when you commit to running a couple of miles. At first, you can’t run even a few hundred yards, and when you do it, your legs burn, your lungs burn and everything feels rather uncomfortable. Those that can work through the burn Island Snapper Wrap is but one of the many tasty sensations earn a ticket to the next stage: capability.

You developed a new capability. Stage Four: Confidence – Finally, after developing the new capability, you gained confidence. By attaining even part of the goal that you committed to, this gives you the confidence that continuing on that path will lead you to complete the rest of it. If you are trying to save enough for retire- ment, and worked through the courage to not spend money on some luxuries that you really wanted, you’ll notice your stock account grow. This gives you more confi- dence to continue on that path. I’ve had conversations with my daugh- ters about these four stages of confidence. Whether it was trying out for the high school sports team, taking a difficult test in class, or applying for a summer intern- ship, expanding one’s boundaries is never an easy task. Confidence is not something that someone else can give you, it has to come from the inside. This realization makes it even that much more frightening. 3DUN\RXUIOLSIORSVDWWKHRQHDQGRQO\&URZnV1HVWDWm7ZHHQ:DWHUV,QQr Everyone wants to have the feel-good ZKHUH\RXnOOILQGJUHDWIRRGJUHDWIXQDQGJUHDWWLPHVVHUYHGXSQLJKWO\ feelings related to having confidence, but $7ULS$GYLVRUWRSUDWHG&DSWLYD,VODQGUHVWDXUDQW they have to work through the other stages Captiva Crab Races: May 21 & 25 | Steve Farst Trio: May 22 & 23 | Doc Carter: May 24| Taylor Stokes: May 26 & 27 first.

The ribbon-cutting for Bailey’s Marketplace at Sundial Resort took place on May 12 photos by Jeff Lysiak Bailey’s Marketplace At Sundial Has Been Successful Since Opening by Jeff Lysiak anibel Island legend and longtime businessman Sam Bailey used to say of his family’s landmark grocery, Bailey’s General Store, “It we don’t have it, you Sdon’t need it.” That statement is as true today as the day the supermarket first opened in 1899. So when word came out last year that Bailey’s General Store was going to open a second – albeit smaller – location along Sanibel’s western thoroughfare, many won- dered exactly how much merchandise the business could fit into its new space, located on the property of the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. With “a little less than 1,000 square feet” available, General Manager Richard Johnson wondered as well. But then he thought about something his father-in-law, Francis Bailey, told him about the original store when it was located on San Carlos Bay. “Francis told me that at that store, they used every square inch of space,” said Johnson. “So this new location sort of simulates that.” Opened on February 1 of this year, Bailey’s Marketplace at Sundial Resort offers customers “a little bit of everything.” From fresh baked goods and gourmet coffees to Bailey’s Marketplace at Sundial Resort employees Ashley Aiello and Grace Bauknecht snacks, sweets and everyday grocery items, the store’s early success can be attributed with General Manager Richard Johnson to simply following the businesses’ long-standing philosophy: To provide an outstanding we’ve been running for 115 years, so we kinda knew what we should expect. But we customer experience through quality products, personalized service and value every day. really came in with no expectations other than to present a positive customer experi- “Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect here,” Johnson said. “The other store ence.” Bailey’s Marketplace is packed from floor to ceiling with fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers, has refrigerated goods and frozen food sections, a book gallery as well as an assortment of clothing, beach wares and sporting goods. M.S.T. “We are working hard to figure out what things people are looking for,” added Johnson. “Some of our most popular items are the Bailey’s labeled products – salad TAX-CONSULTING & ACCOUNTING SERVICES dressings, jellies, jams and salsas.

Since the new location opened three months ago, Johnson reported that he’s heard (239) 472-5152 lots of positive feedback, with several customers saying that Bailey’s Marketplace is 1619 Periwinkle Way, Suite 102, Sanibel Island, FL 33957 “more convenient” for them than the main location. “The support we’ve received from the residents here at the Sundial has been terrif- ic,” he noted. “One woman even told me, ‘I’ve been waiting 20 years for you to open here.’ And I told her, ‘Well, we’re here now.’ We’re looking forward to being a part of the Sundial family for a long period of time… it just feels right.” Choosing the Right Insurance Agent Johnson then reiterated the basic thought behind the businesses’ ideology. “We’ve worked very hard to build a solid staff who always puts the customers first,” Makes all the Diff erence he said. “I like to use the term ‘BBF’ which stands for Bailey’s Business Family.
