If it were not for the Spanish program, under the direction of Dr. Nohora Rivera, the school would not have been eligible for the National Blue Ribbon School award,” Weigel added. This prestigious designation was achieved by only 287 out of 125,000 eligible schools in the United States. The Sanibel School Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, supports many other enhance- ment opportunities for students. Some additional programs benefiting from the gen- erosity of the community are music, art, physical education, and especially the tech- nology needs of the school. Each year, this volunteer committee meets on a monthly basis to discuss efforts to support the ongoing needs for the school that cannot be met through traditional funding at the district level. Tickets to the event are $75 per person and can be purchased by emailing [email protected], by mailing a check to The Sanibel School Fund, P.O.

Cost for this program is $5 for adults and free for children; a beach parking fee of $2 per car is necessary at the beach site. The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation monitors the sea turtle nests on Sanibel and Captiva.

Get The Word Out About Your Take-Out! ~Advertise Here~ ISLAND SUN - NOVEMBER 12, 2010 35 Book By Sanibel Authors Published In Holland

Ben Nijhuis, representing Verbum Publishing, presents Sanibel author Benno Benninga with the first copy of Ondergedoken, the Dutch edition of Benninga’s book, In Hiding

n Hiding, a World War II memoir coauthored by Sanibel residents Benno Benninga and William Hallstead, has been published in a Dutch language edition Iby Verbum Publishing in Laren, The Netherlands. The English version of In Hiding was published in 2006 by Valentine Mitchell, London. The story of the Benninga family’s more than two-year ordeal hiding from the Nazis’ effort to eliminate Holland’s Jews is based on Benninga’s memories and the detailed journal his father kept through the family’s traumatic experience. Teen-aged Benno Benninga, his father, mother and sister paid a farming family for room, board and concealment as a last resort to escape apprehension and near-inevi- table death in the Holocaust. Despite the often terrifying instability of the farming wife and the couple’s high-risk black market activities, the Benningas were never betrayed, though the entire area apparently knew of their presence, and a police officer lived across the street. When living with the farm couple itself became unbearably oppressive, the Benningas were sheltered by Reverend Piet Boes and his family in the final months before the area was liberated by advancing Canadian troops. This summer, the Dutch publisher presented Benninga, who had traveled to Holland for the occasion, with the first copy of Ondergedoken, the Dutch version of In Hiding. The presentation was made in the same Dutch reformed church where the Benninga family hid during the final months of World War II. Some 80 people, including friends and relatives of Benninga, the mayor and several other officials were in attendance. Also present were the sons and daughters of the two families who had saved the lives of Benninga and his family. During the emotional ceremony, Benninga honored the memories of his parents in a heartfelt speech. In appreciation of the Dutch publication of the book, Benninga presented the publisher with a crystal com- memorative plaque, created for the occasion by Sanibel artist Luc Century.

The popular event returns to the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples for the 10th consecutive year. The 24 athletes who will compete as 12 two-man teams have amassed 156 total career victories including eight major champi- onships from seven different players. “The balance of international stars, American players, rookies, young guys and veterans this year is ideal,” said Norman. His shootout has long been recognized as one of the top post-tour events. Norman’s partner this year is Matt Kutcher, this year’s PGA Tour money leader who is ranked 10th in the world. Kutcher finished in the top 10 in 11 tournaments this past season and captured one of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He was also a U.S. Ryder Cup member. Returning to defend their 2009 Shootout victory are Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker. The tournament will again feature an alternate shot format the first day, better ball Only 3 Lots Remain competition the second day and a final round scramble on Sunday, the final day.

It’s Final; Cubs Staying in Arizona Voters in Mesa, Arizona, voted overwhelmingly last week to approve the construc- tion of an $84 million spring training facility for the Chicago Cubs, ending officially any hopes that the Cubs would move to Naples. The project, scheduled for completion in 2013, received a 63 percent “yes” vote. The approved proposition authorizes expenditures up to $99 million for construction of a new stadium, training facilities, roads and parking lots.
