Scheduled to debut during “Ding” Darling Days at the JN “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge in October, America’s Darling will share the incredible history of Darling (1876-1962), the Des Moines Register editorial cartoonist who influenced readers through his syndicated cartoons, creating awareness of urgent environmental issues and the need to preserve America’s natural landscapes. During the three years he has spent working on the film, producer Sam Koltinsky travelled across the country – from Florida and West Virginia to Michigan, Washington, DC and Iowa – gathering valuable biographical information and poring through documents, cartoons and other archived Darling treasures. This spring, Koltinsky and his Marvo Entertainment Group team spent more than a month in Southwest Florida, filming several segments to be included in the 60-minute documentary at BIG ARTS, the refuge and at Darling’s former winter retreat – the Fish House, built in 1942 – on Captiva. But since then, work on America’s Darling hasn’t begun to slow down. “I left Sanibel and Captiva and went almost directly to Des Moines,” Koltinsky said last week. “We were able to visit Darling’s former home, capture a number of interviews related to Ding’s time in Iowa as well as to secure Iowa’s portion of our project’s funding Looking at the original printer’s plate of Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling’s last editorial cartoon continued on page 28 are, from left, documentary producer Sam Koltinsky, Chris Steffen and Jefferson Jones Burr Exhibit Have A ‘Disco’ Ball Renovation At Sanibel Night Prom Completed by Jeff Lysiak n Monday, the Bailey- slanders are getting Matthews Shell Museum ready to put on their Oofficially announced the Iboogie shoes as the installation of the renovated Sanibel Night Prom – Raymond Burr exhibit.

The Sanibel School Fund and Sanibel School PTA are joining forces to help raise the money needed to maintain the quality of the school and its status on the top of the list of the State of Florida’s Department of Education ranking of elementary-middle schools. Money raised by the Sanibel School Fund and PTA provides many resources and enhancements that the shortfalls in the Lee County School System budget cannot, including educational software, classroom computers, the foreign language program, steel drums, a music keyboard lab and supplies for classrooms. Parent and community support for these programs have helped The Sanibel School earn the Blue Ribbon designation, as well as an “A” rating, for the past 11 years. The U.S. Department of Education awards National Blue Ribbon status based on overall academic excellence or for success in closing achievement gaps.

Fish Caught

A 35-inch redfish caught by local angler Samuel Guerrero near ‘Tween Waters Inn ocal angler Samuel Guerrero caught a trophy-sized redfish in the bay just past Redfish Pass on August 18 around 12:30 p.m. “I caught it using my St Croix Lrod and Penn Battle 4000 Series reel purchased at The Bait Box,” he reported. “My bait was an extra large shrimp on a red jig.” Guerrero was on a boat fishing with his brother, Jesus Martinez, who immediately knew he had hooked onto something big. “It was the second redfish I have ever caught,” he added. “They say the third is a charm, I’ll be ready.”

Overall, 207 hotels and their employees received not only soap but also educational materials to help them identify human trafficking victims and missing children. At least two missing children were identified, according to event organizers. Volunteers from Southwest Florida Zonta clubs, including Sanibel and Captiva, attended the event. Island Zontian and HTAP Director Nola Theiss gave a presentation about human trafficking to volunteers in Tampa. She also delivered 1,000 bars of soap, which were labeled in June by residents of the Transitional Living Center at Southwest Florida Addiction Services, one of Zonta’s local service part- ners. Residents there also heard Theiss A volunteer assists with the SOAP project speak about human trafficking. It is frequently the case that young girls are bused in by their traffickers into areas where large events are being held to service the men who attend them, according to Theresa Flores giving instructions at SOAP human trafficking experts.

Something for Everyone Our email address is [email protected] ShopOnSanibel.com 12 ISLAND SUN - AUGUST 24, 2012 The changes, enacted by an executive order, apply only through August 2013. FWC Increases Lionfish Harvest They are: • A recreational fishing license is not required to target lionfish while using a pole Opportunities, Public Can Help spear, a Hawaiian sling (picture included in photo set), a handheld net or any spearing device that is specifically designed and marketed exclusively for lionfish. • There is no recreational or commercial harvest bag limit for lionfish. The changes do not allow spearing in areas where spearfishing is prohibited and apply to state waters only, which is from shore to nine miles in Gulf of Mexico waters and from shore to three miles in Atlantic waters. Lionfish are a non-native invasive species that threatens Florida’s saltwater fish and wildlife. They prey on native fish and wildlife and can reduce native populations. Lionfish also compete for food with native predatory fish such as grouper and snapper. The FWC encourages people to remove lionfish in Florida waters to limit negative impacts to native fish and wildlife. Lionfish have venomous spines, so the FWC urges careful handling. Unless a person is allergic to the venom, lionfish stings are rarely fatal. Anyone getting stung should immerse the wound in hot (not scalding) water or apply heat to the affected area for 30 to 90 minutes to help break down the toxin. Also, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Spearfishers should also take care not to damage the important reef habitat where lionfish often are found. More information regarding lionfish is available at www.MyFWC.com/Fishing and clicking on “Saltwater Fishing,” “Recreational Regulations,” then “Lionfish.” To view the executive order, visit www.MyFWC.com/About and click on “Executive Director” then “Executive Orders.”

Lionfish are a non-native invasive species in Southwest Florida waters Sea Turtle Nesting Stats he Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) announced that harvesting invasive lionfish no longer will require a fishing license when using Tcertain gear, and there is no recreational or commercial bag limit. The FWC is taking these actions to encourage more Floridians and visitors to harvest lionfish. “The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission hopes that by increas- ing the opportunity for people to harvest invasive lionfish, we can limit the impact this nonnative invasive species has on Florida’s marine fish and wildlife,” said Jessica McCawley, director of the FWC’s Division of Marine Fisheries Management. “We also want to express our gratitude to everyone, especially divers, who already go out on a regular basis to harvest lionfish.”

Refuge interns Karen Lopresti and Jess Shelton DDWS Welcomes Two Shared Interns At Refuge he two newest interns to join the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society- TFriends of the Refuge believe that fate has a way of working in mysterious ways. Jess Shelton and Karen Lopresti both attended Hanover College in southern Indiana. While studying there, they met Hanover alum Birgie Vertesch, DDWS Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy & Pilates executive director, who was attending a class reunion and struck up a conversa- tion with the girls. “We were unclear of what direction we would go after graduation, until Birgie came along,” said Shelton, who was majoring in economics. “We were ready for an adventure that would allow us to explore our interests while also preparing us for the job market,” said Lopresti, a communication major. “I was impressed by their energy and interest in our work supporting the refuge’s education and conservation efforts,” said Vertesch, who offered them a year- long internship to work with both DDWS and refuge staff after they graduated this spring. Lopresti, a Richmond, Indiana native, has always had an interest in the work of non-profit organizations. “I have never been sure about what I wanted to do with my life, but working with a non-profit has always been in the forefront of my mind,” she said. “Seeing the whole picture of how a non-profit operates through this internship is simply ideal. I am blown away by the beauty of Sanibel and the JN ‘Ding’ Darling refuge and society as a whole.” Shelton hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, but refers to Sanibel as her home away from home. “My family has been coming here for years and ‘Ding’ Darling has always been part of our family tradition,” she said. “Knowing how amazing this place is, I didn’t think twice about applying for an internship position.”. The interns arrived on August 13, and are already involved in many projects including October’s “Ding” Darling Days. Later this month they will be attending a social media conference in Fort Myers that will aid in promoting the refuge 14 ISLAND SUN - AUGUST 24, 2012 grab ‘n’ go Thur., 8.23.2012 - Wed., 8.29.2012

They rarely fly far from the shore, preferring inlets, bays and large rivers. Despite spending much time in the water, they do not possess the water- proofing oil of other seabirds (enabling them to dive very deeply for fish) and spend much time drying their feathers, standing ashore or on pilings.

Matt Mitchell orning coastal showers most of this week did not slow the bite down. If you were willing to Mjust get out and play dodge-the-rain, the fishing paid off. Yes, we did get wet a few times but, generally, if you paid attention to the movement of the small, fast moving rainstorms you could stay dry and keep a rod bent. Close to home in the southern sound, the fishing action was very consistent on redfish and trout most of the week. Big high tides made for a longer than usual four- to five-hour window for catching redfish up to 28 inches up under the mangroves. Out on the flats, trout up to 22 inches were caught while working the eastern side of the sound targeting sand potholes in the three- to four-foot range with a small pinfish or grunt on a popping cork rig. Most days I would start off out on the flats catching trout until the tide got high enough then switch over to mangrove fishing to target the redfish. When you mention grouper and snapper fishing, most clients automatically think of going offshore. The next few months are prime time to catch gag grouper and mangrove snapper in and around the passes. Captiva Pass and Boca Grande Pass hold lots of keeper size quality fish for the next month or two. Hunter and Eli Jolly with two redfish caught this week with Capt. Matt Mitchell August and September will offer some of the best inshore mangrove snapper fishing of the year. These great tasting fish will be in good numbers in the passes Once you locate them it’s one after another. Often the better bite comes during peri- and will commonly get up to the 15- to 16-inch range. Mangrove snapper have very ods of slower tide movement.

And although my ex would travel with me occasionally, she mostly stayed behind on the island and took care of her responsibilities here. But it wasn’t like I was leaving my wife all alone. She was protected by someone very special. Not long before I started running off to Alaska, the island’s lone 11-foot female crocodile decided to start laying eggs at the end of our driveway and spending much of the day siting in the shade under our stilt house. During the night, she would walk up our driveway and keep guard by her nest. If someone voiced their concern for my wife’s safety with the croc literally underfoot and me being gone, we would both jokingly respond that she was “more protected with the croc there than if Bird was home.” My wife had been helping me move wayward alligators for years on the island, and she knew the reality of how non-aggressive the American croc was towards humans. We just couldn’t imagine a burglar or a rapist sneaking down the driveway in the middle of the night to get at my wife... not with the croc lying there in the middle of the driveway with her mouth wide open!

Olympics Drew Millions Of Viewers Per Night; The Most In TV History As the Olympic flame was extinguished in London, there was a collective sigh among hundreds of millions of television viewers who had become enamored by the 17-day extravaganza – the most-watched event in television history.

Our email address is [email protected] The proof of this fact lies in the television ratings that showed an average of 31.5 million viewers per night in the United States alone, a 12 percent increase over the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Whether you were a fan of the “Fab Five” U.S. girl’s gymnasts, (and how could you not be?), or 22-medal winner Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian of all time; or sprinter Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world; or the heroics of South African double amputee Oscar Pistorius who ran on carbon-fiber legs, there was drama, inspiration and excitement every day for 17 days.
