Haely was born on Sanibel and at- tended Cypress Lake High School. Placing first in interview and win- ning the talent competition with a vocal performance to a Postmodern Jukebox arrangement of Taylor Swift’s Blank Space, she will repre- sent the nation’s capital in the 2016 Miss America Pageant which will be broadcast on ABC on Sunday, September 13. The first Miss America in 1921, Margaret Goram, was from Washington, DC and the last was redheaded Venus Ramey in 1944. Haely said she hopes to be the next redhead from DC to win the national crown. Haely is a 2013 graduate of American University with dual Haely Jardas receiving her crown degrees in broadcast journalism and theatre performance. She aspires to earn a master of professional studies in public relations and corporate communications and one day serve as director of com- munications/public relations for the Kennedy Center. Having worked for the DC Department of Parks and Recreation Aquatics Division, she is currently employed by the Congressional Delegation for DC Statehood as an administrative assistant to Senator Paul Strauss. A National Finalist for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival’s Irene Ryan Award, Haely has performed new works by DC playwrights at the Capital Fringe Festival and New York Musical Theatre Festival. Other musical talents include playing the ukulele for seven years. Haely was awarded an American University Dean’s Scholarship. She received the Jack Jury Award for Broadcast Journalism in 2012 and was also the recip- ient of American University President’s Award. For her community service efforts, Haely has earned the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. Diagnosed with generalized anxiety dis- order when she was 20 years old, Haely’s platform is Mental Health Matters. Her short-term goals for her platform are: 1) that those who are suffering know that they are not alone, that there are alterna- tives to suicide and substance abuse, and that they can live their lives and not have their disorders control them; and 2) that those who do not experience a disorder will help to reduce, and one day eliminate, the stigma of mental health by being allies to their loved ones who suffer. The Miss District of Columbia Scholarship Pageant is an official prelimi- nary to the Miss America Program, one of the nation’s leading achievement pro- grams and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. More than $45 million in scholarships was made available last year at the local, state and national levels. The Miss District of Columbia Program strongly emphasizes scholarship and educational achievement, provides personal and professional oppor- tunities for young women and promotes their voice in culture, politics and the com- munity.

These essential components consist of 13 weekly sessions designed to be repeated in regular cycles throughout the year. Participants can enter the group at any time and are encouraged to attend more than one 13-week cycle. The group will become much like a family for many group members. At each meeting par- ticipants learn about grief-related issues. Some of the topics include: • Is This Normal? • Challenges of Grief • Grief and Relationships • Why? • Guilt and Anger Participants may find comfort, hope and answers.

Captiva Cruises Captain Jorge Salazar and educator Richard Finkel along with Girl Scout Troop 368 holding their handmade life ring depicting their favorite cookie – S’mores – as well as the moniker No Child Left On Shore, the Environmental Education Outreach Project initiative of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation and Captiva Cruises irl Scouts in Troop 368 of Collier County decided that they wanted to take a field trip on the water with money they raised from selling boxes of cook- Gies. However, not only did they want to take this field trip, but they wanted to invite other kids to join them; kids that do not have the means to get out on the water themselves. So when MaryAnn Tracy, Troop 368’s leader, explained the desire of her Girl Scouts to Richard Finkel of Captiva Cruises and coordinator on behalf of the Sanibel- Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and Captiva Cruises’ No Child Left On Shore Environmental Education Outreach Project, he was inspired by the young girls’ wishes and committed to working with them. “Their generosity should be commended and supported,” he said. The No Child Left On Shore initiative is a cooperative endeavor of Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and Captiva Cruises. Cuts in public funding for school environmental education field trips have drastically reduced the number of stu- dents that can experience for themselves the importance of the coastal habitats. Many families of Southwest Florida do not have the ways or the means to get out on the water. There is a real need to provide the younger generation of Southwest Florida with an opportunity to take part in hands on experiential field trips within the back bay Seafood • Steaks • Spirits estuary.

In the wild, it grows in southernmost Florida and the West Indies. The city of Havana is part of the common and botanical names because the plant was first discovered there in 1760. Scutellaria, Latin for small saucer or dish, refers to the tiny bowl- or helmet-like protuber- ance on the calyx. Also called tropical skullcap, this pretty flower is classified as an herb because it is a member of the mint family. Tiny purple flowers appear throughout the year, but most occur during spring and autumn. Blooms are rarely seen during the summer months. The flowers are striking for their larger three-lobed lower lip with two white stripes. The tiny paired oval leaves have a fuzzy texture and the stems are covered with short hairs.

And, by the way, the Las Vegas bookmakers tabbed the 21-year-old phenom at 30-1 to win the Grand Slam. Remember, no one in the history of golf has ever won all four major golf tournaments in the same year. Spieth’s capture of the U.S. Open places him in the elite company of five other golfing giants who won the first two legs of the Grand Slam – the Masters and the U.S. Open – in the same year. Only Ben Hogan won the third major, the British Open, that same year. Here is the list: Tiger Woods, 2002; Jack Nicklaus, 1972; Arnold Palmer, 1960; Ben Hogan, 1953; Craig Wood, 1941, and now Spieth, 2015. Spieth is the young- est.

This color should be fun and exciting, and could be accomplished simply by adding a few well chosen ac- cent pillows or artwork to your room’s décor. It’s also important that your chosen splash color be bounced around the room several times. Perhaps accent pillows on your sofa, candles on your mantle and an usually designed acces- sory, all featuring this same splash color. Lighter colors will definitely give your room a feeling of spaciousness because light rays are reflected instead of being absorbed. Bright strong colors have just the opposite effect – they create a warm, cozy feeling, especially in a very large room. When starting a new decorating plan, focus on a brand new color scheme, and don’t be afraid to be creative with color. It can be a lot of fun, and the rewards could be a brand new colorful place for you and your family to enjoy. Barb Cacchione is an interior de- signer on Sanibel/Captiva Islands.

It draws hundreds of runners from near and far, some of whom participate every year. Runners receive a T-shirt featuring the Hortoon race logo, a bag full of goodies and a medallion. Registration will be open soon. “Rick and Evette at Zurbriggen Financial have been tremendous supporters of FISH,” said Ed Ridlehoover, race committee co-chair. “Our island is full of kind people and the Zurbriggens are among them.” There are a variety of race sponsorship slots remaining – Gold, Silver, Bronze or Friend. For Gold to Bronze sponsorships, your name or logo will appear on the back of the T-shirts as well as all 10K banners and printed materials. Friend sponsors will be included on all race banners and printed materials. Anyone who is interested in becoming a race sponsor should contact Nancy or Pete Bender at [email protected] or 472-5220.

Last year, it assisted 386 senior citizens, 192 youth and 931 households – all who work, live or visit on the islands. Programming ranges from daily well-check calls and prepared meals for older clients to youth lunches and adult education assistance. “We see the value that FISH brings to Sanibel in the families it provides for, the children it feeds, the lonely it comforts, those in need who are extended a helping hand up,” said Zurbriggen Financial President Rick Zurbriggen. “We are proud to part- ner with them in this effort.”
