At best, we are mediocre,” Gist added, “despite investing more and having more advantages.” Gist, who has won Teacher of the Year awards in Fort Worth and Tampa, and also served as the first state super- intendant of education for the District of Columbia, urged a five-point program to improve the quality of education in the United States. Citing the state of Massachusetts as the highest performing state in the field of education, Gist said, “We must, we can, we absolutely can improve. We must work smarter and harder; we still have a school calendar based on the 19th century!” Gist noted that the average student now spends three to four hours per day watching television. “Most of what they are watching is garbage,” Gist added, “and, by gradua- tion they have spent more time watching television than in the classroom.” “We need to be challenging our students. I talk to students everyday and they want to be challenged. Often they are bored, or their time is filled up with busy work,” Gist commented. “Education is the most important issue in the world,” Gist asserted. “Education affects economy, national security, health, and our general quality of life. Our goal must be the high quality of education that all students deserve.” In response to a question during the lively session moderated by Forum chair Dick Wright, Gist said 180 school days is the norm in the U.

Charlie Knight, Dru Doyle and Andy Boyle are among the staff who works diligently to maintain the resort’s prestigious designation he staff at Ocean’s Reach Condominiums works hard to uphold the hospitality as well as the numerous green practices they perform that resulted in the Tresort being named the first Florida Green Lodging establishment on Sanibel over three and a half years ago. Recently, the resort passed a rigorous spot audit inspection from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) designed to ensure that the resort remained dedicated to its commitment of reducing waste and conserving natural resources. “We’re pleased, but not surprised, that we came through the inspection with flying colors,” said Andy Boyle, Ocean’s Reach general manager. “It seems as though we work harder than ever to make sure we can continue, and build upon, our initiatives to be environmentally responsible.” According to Boyle, these initiatives have included programs targeting increased water conservation, energy efficiency, clean air processes and recycling in order to reduce the environmental footprint. Ocean’s Reach continues to feature low-flow plumbing fixtures, high-efficiency air filters, clean air handler units and Energy Star appliances in its 64 condominiums. The resort uses “green sealed” cleaning products and detergents, and EPA-approved organically based landscaping fertilizers. The use of high-efficiency lighting and programmable thermostats have been increased. Towel and linen re-use programs are employed in all units, and a comprehensive recycling program is in place throughout the resort for guests and employees. “Congratulations on your recent achievement,” said Jay Hammett with the Florida DEP. “As you are aware, the move toward sustainability often begins with many small steps, that when added together can lead to powerful results.” 10B ISLAND SUN - JANUARY 13, 2012 Around The Islands brands including Columbia, White Sierra, Northface, Ray Ban and Maui Jim.

Bulbils may also be killed by placing them in a freezer overnight. “It’s a little bit of a challenge to educate the public about this invasive species,” said Downing. “Last year’s Air Potato Exchange Day (at the Sanibel Island Farmers Market) was really successful, so we want to build on that.” The City of Sanibel’s 2nd annual Air Potato Exchange Day will be held this Sunday, January 15 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Farmers Market, on the grounds of Sanibel City Hall.

In fact, you might want to drive across Alligator Alley to see a game in their brand new stadium, Marlins Ballpark, and a team that will be vastly improved from year’s past. Set to open in April, the 37,000-seat air conditioned stadium with a retractable roof was designed with sightlines that will provide excellent views of the field from every seat. There is parking for 5,700 cars, aquariums behind home plate and Golf carts lined up outside The Sanctuary Golf Club’s Pro Shop a private seating area in left field with a swimming pool.

There is little doubt that the expensive revamping of the Marlins’ roster should make them strong contenders in the National League East. The Marlins have not reached post-season play since 2003 when they won their second World Series, defeating the New York Yankees in six games. Just as a new ballpark enabled the Minnesota Twins to nearly double their payroll two years ago, the Marlins feel they can work the same magic via their new South Beach stadium. Last year, the Marlins drew only 1.4 million fans, ranking 29th out of the 30 Major League teams. Their payroll of $56.9 million was 24th. But this year will be different. The Marlins, with the often-entertaining Guillen at the helm, should be an exciting team to watch.

Establishes New Scholarship Fund At FGCU he Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation has received a T$250,000 pledge from Algenol Biofuels Inc. to create the Algenol Biofuels Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Scholarship Fund. Juniors and seniors at the university who are majoring in biology, biotechnology, chemistry, environmental engineering and mathematics are eligible for the scholarship. “STEM education has long been a priority at FGCU – from our academic programs to sponsored outreach from our Whitaker Center for STEM Education,” said FGCU President Wilson G. Bradshaw. “This generous gift from Algenol Biofuels to create a scholarship allows the University to reaffirm its commitment to helping deserving students realize their dreams of earning degrees in the science and technological fields.” Paul Woods FGCU graduated 264 students in STEM subjects in 2010-2011, up from 58 in 2006-2007. “Algenol Biofuels is committed to developing our future scientists and engineers,” said Paul Woods, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Algenol Biofuels Inc. “As a premier industrial biotechnology company using enhanced algae to produce etha- nol from carbon dioxide for under a $1 per gallon, we are a prime example of how advanced biology and innovative engineering can drive economic growth and job cre- ation in our community. We have long benefited from a partnership with FGCU for our STEM needs, drawing upon current students as interns and hiring graduates for full-time positions. We are honored by this opportunity to further promote FGCU’s growing STEM initiative.” STEM education transforms the typical teacher-centered classroom through a curriculum that is driven by problem-solving, discovery, and exploratory learning. It requires students to actively engage in and analyze a situation to formulate and imple- ment solutions. Studies show that students benefit from STEM programs because they teach independent innovation and allow students to explore subjects in greater depths. STEM programs let the students put the skills that they have learned to use. Skills that they need to thrive in the global economy.

The afternoon will continue with a dynamic panel discussion on the effects of small business bankruptcy from a legal, tax, finance, and insurance perspective. “We are pleased to continue to provide this annual educational workshop and reach out to small business owners throughout Southwest Florida who may have questions or concerns about their business,” said Suzanne Specht, assistant director of the SBDC and program coordinator for Entrepreneur’s Law School. “Often business owners come to the SBDC for confidential business consulting and have legal questions.
