Dennis Schofield, an independent insurance claims adjuster on the island, spoke to Rotary recently regarding how important it is to read those policies and understand that you must comply with all covenants of that policy if you expect to receive payment for damages. Many insurance companies protect their finan- cial profits by making certain policyhold- ers’ claims are examined with company policy in mind. This usually means send- ing out an insurance adjuster to investi- gate your claim, find out how and when your damage was done, and what your personal responsibility is. Schofield said, “Twenty percent of claims are denied Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy & Pilates because clients don’t comply with the Phone # 239-395-5858 insurance policy contract.” Policy lan- guage is sometimes confusing, maybe by design. A recent case that Schofield worked Administrative Offi ces on regarded the home of an island & Classrooms snowbird. The damage was done when Phone # 239-472-9700 he was not in residence for an extended period of time and the insurance com- pany denied the claim. Why? The insur- ance policy had a 30-day vacancy clause in it and concluded that damage was done during the time the property was vacant for more than 30 days. Schofield and his company challenged that clause by providing records from the property owner’s caretaker regarding the prop- erty and found that the property was not truly vacant according to the policy ruling. Interpretation of policy clauses is tricky. Clauses are written in policy language and unless you know how to read that language, you may not collect denied reimbursement for damages or be given low-ball figures on damages.

Yom Ha’atzmaut centers around the declaration of the establishment of the state of Israel by the Jewish leadership led by future Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion on May 14, 1948. This was declared eight hours before the end of the British Mandate of Palestine, which was due to finish on May 15, 1948. The new state was quickly recog- nized by the Soviet Union, the United States and many other countries, but not by the surrounding Arab states, which marched with their troops into the area of the former British Mandate.

We’re Seafood Savvy, are you?

“There are plenty of fish in the ocean” You may think so, but the reality is that our oceans are being overfished. The choices we make today will determine the fate of tomorrow’s seafood. The goal of Seafood Savvy is to ensure our ocean resources for the future by educating everyone about Ocean-friendly seafood.

This perennial can grow up to 10 feet tall in mud or shallow water in fresh or brackish conditions. A member of the sedge family and a native of the state, it is com- monly found near or in marshes, streams, ponds, canals, and boggy areas. The stems arise from a net- work of rhizomes, or horizontal unground stems, which creates habitat for fish.

In the Island Sun, this one-man show is called, “... a hilarious 90 minutes of laughs and mayhem.” A reviewer for The Fort Myers News-Press writes, “Compton swaps characters with a simple swivel of his stool or a change in posture, and he uses an arsenal of funny accents and facial expressions to great effect. All with dead-on comedic timing and a boundless energy (his Latino chef and his little old lady in a wheelchair are par- ticularly hilarious).” A Naples News reviewer raves, “Trey Compton (so delightful to watch on stage) makes 90 minutes disappear in a flash,” and adds, “his electric stage presence allows him to transform into dozens of characters.” Local theater fans will remember Compton, who not only wowed audiences as Freddy Benson in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but also played a plethora of characters in the Herb Strauss Theater’s production of Das Barbecü. In 2013, he received glow- ing reviews for his many comedic roles in Spamalot at the Strauss. Compton’s New York and regional theater credits include the Emmy Award-winning Passion: Live at Lincoln Center (starring Patti LuPone), Like You Like It, Altar Boyz, Little Shop of Horrors, Stones in his Pockets, Legally Blonde and the world premiere of the musi- cal Love Incorporated.

But can you imagine actually watching the tournament on those hal- lowed grounds? That’s exactly what Sanibel businessman Scot Congress expe- rienced. As a guest of Rolex, one of The Masters sponsors, Congress said it was the most exciting sports event he has ever seen, even exceeding the national championships won by his beloved Florida Gators. He said the official start of the tourna- Scot Congress ment was highly emotional and probably most memorable. “Watching the three former champions – Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus – teeing off, one after another, while the announcer shares some of their many accomplishments at ages 84, 77 and 74, was the highlight for me. It was great to see them hit the ball straight down the middle, exactly like they had done through- out their careers,” he said. Rolex had a suite on the first fairway, where Palmer and Nicklaus visited. “They sat right down and had lunch with us,” Congress said. He also met the world champion skier Lindsey Vonn, the girlfriend of Tiger Woods, who also was a guest in the suite. “It was a comfortable place to ice her knee due to her recent skiing accident.” He said he has never seen a golf course as immaculate as Augusta National. “The fairways looked like indoor carpet. And the setting is very untraditional and un-commercialized, with few items being sold other than Masters products,” Congress said. Congress is owner of Congress Jewelers on Sanibel, one of the largest Rolex deal- ers in the country. He didn’t see a single ticket being sold throughout his stay, as it is closely moni- tored.
