rtCalusa: Reflections On Representation is an award-winning group exhibition featuring Florida’s leading historical artists which opens on Captiva on ASaturday, October 18 at the Captiva Community Center, 11550 Chapin Lane. Through painting, works on paper and etched glass, ArtCalusa visually interprets the life and experiences of Florida’s indigenous peoples, particularly the Calusa Indians through their contact with early European explorers. The exhibition also details the dra- matic changes in Florida’s environment since people first moved to Florida over 12,000 years ago. Exhibiting artists include Lucas Century, Merald Clark, Charles Dauray, continued on page 7 Sea turtle program coordinator Kelly Sloan begins to dig the final nest of the season as a group of volunteers and passers-by look on photo by Jeff Lysiak Sea Turtle Record Shattered On Sanibel by Jeff Lysiak he final sea turtle nesting statistics for this season are in, and Sanibel established a new record in 2014. T According to Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) sea turtle program coordinator Kelly Sloan, this year’s total of 411 nests – 110 on the east end and 301 on the west end – shattered the island’s previous high mark of 358 nests, established in 2000. In addition, the previous record for nests on the east end was 69 in 2012. “The highlight of the season was definitely the record number of nests laid,” said Sloan. “There were no major storms this year, so very few of our nests washed away. Although there were some issues with coyote depredation, it was a very productive season overall.” Sloan also noted that Captiva had 124 nests this year. On October 6, Sloan, her intern Shea Gibbs and more than a dozen sea turtle program volunteers showed up to witness the final nesting dig of the 2014 season. Nest #87, which was staked in early July on Sanibel’s east end, was due to be dug after 70 days. Despite digging the nest for more than 45 minutes, only taking a short break to take a photograph on the beach, their efforts were not rewarded with any emerging hatchlings.

The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s sea turtle program coordinator, staff and volunteers showed up to witness the final nesting dig of the 2014 season last Monday evening on Sanibel’s east end photos by Jeff Lysiak From page 1 Sea Turtle Record Shattered On Sanibel “The reality is that science isn’t always perfect and we have to be non-biased in our assessment of each crawl,” explained Sloan. “Our permit doesn’t allow us to verify each nest, and sometimes the field signs are misleading, so sometimes – rarely – the turtle fools us.” In addition to the more than 130 volunteers who patrol the islands’ beaches every day throughout sea turtle nesting season, Sloan wanted to offer her thanks to Gibbs and several of her SCCF fellow employees – including Kristie Anders, Dee Serage-Century and Joel Caouette – for their efforts. Five new permittees were trained and added to the permit this year: Joan Rogers, Nancy Riley, Diane Nietzel, Willow Bender and Linda Estep. “It’s also exciting that we’ve had four consecutive years of increasing nest counts,” added Sloan. “Sea turtles normally take a year off in between nesting seasons, so there is some natural fluctuation in nest numbers from year to year. It’s possible that new recruits to the nesting population may be coming to Sanibel, which is why we haven’t seen the natural ‘low’ years.”

Members then visited with the staff after the service, sharing in what is upcoming in the school year and ways that members of the church could take part. Sanibel Christian Preschool, a ministry of the Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ, began in August 2013 as part of the church’s continuing support of the community. Located within the church building, the preschool features small class sizes that allow individual attention to each child’s needs. The school offers a warm, welcoming environment for children of all backgrounds to learn and grow as they experience the congregation’s vision that every child is a beloved child of God. The preschool offers introductory fine arts and classical music programs that aid in the development of skills beyond the arts into all aspects of life.

ISLAND SUN - OCTOBER 17, 2014 25 Plant Smart Washington Fan Palm by Gerri Reaves he Washington, or Mexican, fan palm is a des- ert palm native to northern Mexico and Baja TCalifornia. Its ability to grow as tall as 100 feet make it unsuited to the average South Florida residential landscape. In good growing conditions, this tree develops a full rounded canopy. The accordion-pleated palmate leaves are up to five feet across. Petioles, or leaf stalks, of up to six feet long have reddish bases and sharp teeth. Long inflorescences of creamy flowers can be as long as 12 feet and extend beyond the leaves. Flowers are followed by small black berries. The slender light gray trunk tapers from a stout base. Sub-tropical conditions in South Florida are not ideal for this species, so skimpy foliage and potassium-deficiency often result. When the palm is young, the thicker trunk and fuller foliage can be attractive, but as the fast-growing plant ages, it can lose that “robusta” look. The shaggy skirt of old fronds that some trees retain gives it another common name, petticoat palm. Depending on the homeowner’s preference, the skirt might an interesting characteristic or just another maintenance problem. Another reason to forego this palm?

Local Rotarians hosted the Floridians at several home parties and dinners and also led tours of various Hindu and cultural sites. The highlight of the trip, according to Dr. Danner, was the distribution of the wheelchairs. The recipients ranged from a young man who had been paralyzed at the age of three in a car accident to an elderly woman who was a double amputee. One little girl who had outgrown her wheelchair was turning it in for a larger one. The wheelchairs were paid for by the funds raised by the bike ride through the Wheelchair Foundation.

Jaye Boswell’s whimsical paintings are presented with remarkable detail and bright Local Artists Share Diversity colors. Boswell graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor’s degree in art education. For 22 years, she taught art at The Sanibel School. Lee County named her 2004 Visual Arts Teacher of the year. During the 1989-1990 school year, Boswell combined art and environmental education and had her students draw ducks in a wildlife setting. From this class project, the National Duck Stamp project emerged. Boswell believes in the strong connection between art and nature and that is evident in her pen and ink, watercolor and acrylic paintings. She designs greeting cards, illustrates books and creates many original, hand-painted items which she donates to worthy causes. Information about hours and activities at the library are available at www.sanlib. org. Sanibel-Captiva Art League members paint outside every Thursday at various locations.
