The campaign supports construction of a new 128-bed state-of-the-art pediatric medi- cal facility on the grounds of HealthPark Medical Center in Fort Myers. The funds were directed toward the totals of a recent record-breaking fundraising event on Sanibel entitled “Sanibel- Captiva Cares.” The funds will be matched dollar- for-dollar via a $20 million matching challenge grant by Mr. B. Thomas Golisano. Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida is part of Lee Memorial Health System in Lee County, Florida. It is the only acute care children’s hospital between Tampa and Miami. The children’s hospital opened in 1994 within HealthPark Medical Center. The name was changed to the Golisano Children’s Hospital in 2012. Lee Memorial Health System Foundation, the primary fund raising entity for the Golisano Children’s Hospital, is currently engaged in a major capital campaign that will enhance pediatric hos- pital care in Southwest Florida by building a new 292,000 square foot, 128-bed children’s hospital on the campus of HealthPark Medical Center.

In memory and honor of his mother, Hulda Walters, co-founder of the club, Tracy Walters made a gener- ous donation. The club will be planting a foxtail palm dedicated to Hulda Walters for her passion and dedication to native Florida vegetation. The palm will be planted at The Community House by the Shell Islands Garden Club. Hulda’s weekly articles, which appeared in the Island Sun, brought education and awareness to our island vegetation, were enjoyed by many. The ladies of the club enjoyed learning about the native vegetation planted by Tracy and Connie Walters at their Sanibel The Shell Islands Garden Club Island home. The Walters have been active members in the island community for many generations. The donation was accepted by president Maggie Butcher. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS FOR MOTHER’S DAY

A fellow birder asked Griffith where the male kite was. He explained that while he might be off finding food, he was more likely perched in a nearby nest, giv- ing his wings a well deserved rest. “Swallowtailed kites spend a lot of time resting,” said Griffith. “Since they have a very wide range, they’ll spend almost two- thirds of their day resting.” In addition to Florida, swallowtailed kites may be seen in North America in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

A middle-aged alcoholic, he has lost both his passion for the subject and his William McNulty and Jessica Wortham in Educating Rita respect of his students. Suddenly, there is a banging on the door. In barges Rita (Jessica Wortham), a hairdresser who enrolls in a class with Frank as her tutor. The entire play takes place in a univer- sity professor’s office in the north of England. Rita wants an education, although she has no idea what it is that she’s asking. He is not interested in giving lessons in the evenings, as the course requires. Rita stands her ground and says she will return next week. Her brash sincerity eventually earns the respect of the professor. She is a breath of fresh air for Frank and he starts to care about someone for the first time since his wife left him. Each will end up teaching the other. The street-smart student is bored with her life and eager to learn. There is a warm bond that soon forms between pupil and teacher as Frank finds a student who actually wants to learn. Not surprisingly, the play has been compared to Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion. Playwright Willy Russell is also the author of Shirley Valentine. In their first tutorial, Rita and Frank discuss EM Forster. Frank criticizes Rita’s first essay, which consists of one line. She defends it. You see Rita transform, gradually with each scene. The script is well written and the dialogue is hilari- ous. Director Chris Clavelli has fearlessly tackled this two and a half hour play. He keeps the action moving around the stage with quick fades to dark without slowing the pace or interest. The set by Robert F. Wolin is exceptional, as always, befitting a professor’s lair with books from floor to ceiling. The two actors earn the audience’s respect with their excellent performances.

S Attendees conversed with the artists about the vibrant and colorful paintings that are hung throughout the restaurant, all of which are for sale. Suzanne Lurie, Sanibel resident and retired interior designer who curated the art- work for Il Cielo, has a number of Lagos and Castillo’s prints in her Sanibel home and brought one of her own giclees of a banana leaf by Lagos and hung it in the restau- rant’s foyer. She helped select the additional 15 pieces from Lagos and Castillo’s cata- logue. The limited edition prints, which were framed by the artists, range in size from 30 inches by 40 inches to 50 inches by 70 inches. Castillo and Lagos have been painting full time for 24 years. The married couple turned to painting full time after successful careers as a commercial pilot and architect. Lagos’ work features an earthy palette and detailed forms of leaves and blossoms. Castillo’s work, by contrast, has an abstract foundation and playfully addresses images and colors. For more information, visit www.ilcielosanibel.com or call 472-5555.

The event, which began three years ago by the Sanibel Community Association, shook the island, brought an awareness to ballroom dancing and created a sensation among the stars who had never stepped on to a dance floor. As the group gathered to rekindle their cha chas and shimmies, the room was filled with laughter and exclamations as they watched the videos of their past performances. As Scott says, “Once a star, always a star.”

The indigenous folk of A Visit To South America Chile, the Mapuche Indians, comprise 6.5 percent of the population. Interestingly, there is a large Cuban population of 14,000 in Chile. Economically sound, the country’s main industries are copper mining (Chile is the number one copper-producing land in the world) and the exportation of fruit and vegetables. In addition, Chile is the world’s fourth largest wine exporter (superb reds). Chile was the last stop on the Conquistadores’ march through South America, and when they arrived in 1541, they found no gold and little else of interest to them and hence invested nearly nothing. Independence from Spain came in 1810. As the sixth largest city in South America, Santiago is home to a third of Chile’s population and 43 percent of its industry. The average yearly salary for a 45-hour work week is $18,500, supple- mented by allowances for lunch and trans- A couple performs native Chilean dances portation. Because of all the people being attracted to the city, Santiago’s property values have increased greatly in recent times. As in many Latin locales, the extended family ranks high on Chileans’ list of values, with three generations often living under one roof. When it comes to physical charac- teristics and temperament, Chileans resemble Europeans more than other Latinos.

Florida Courts E-Filing Portal Begins he Lee County Clerk of Courts Office is pleased to report a successful begin- ning in meeting the Florida Supreme Court’s mandate to accept civil cases Tthrough the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal, located at www.myflcourtaccess. com. More than 28,285 documents were electronically filed in Lee County since the mandate went into effect on April 1, 2013. “The transition from optional to mandatory efiling has been very smooth overall, thanks to the dedication and hard work of the Clerk’s civil team,” said Linda Doggett, Clerk of Court. “This changes the way we do business and will ultimately reduce costs, increase timeliness in the processing of cases, and improve services to the public and judiciary. The next step is to use these electronic documents in the court room and the judiciary is very close to making this happen. It is very exciting!” The Florida Supreme Court mandated by April 1, 2013, that all attorneys file documents electronically in civil cases, probate, circuit and county civil, and family law cases through the statewide portal. At this point, more than one-third of all attorneys registered with The Florida Bar are making use of their e-filing account. By the end of FREE BOAT DOCKAGE | ONSITE MANAGEMENT | BEACH FRONT the first week, more than 206,000 documents were sent through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal and transmitted to the local clerk’s offices and the Supreme Court – topping the average daily number of documents filed statewide in March by nearly 500 percent. Florida is one of the first states in the nation to implement statewide electronic filing of court documents and has implemented e-filing at the trial and appellate court levels in all 67 counties and in the Florida Supreme Court.
