There were starfish and seahors- es, fish and jellyfish – all made by campers out of old sails and lattice. But that was just the crowning project of a week of fun. The rest of the week was filled with and beach trips, seining and seahorse stories. There were horseshoe crabs to be found and surfboards to master before the week was over. And lots of sand, sunblock and water. Sanibel Sea School is a 501(c)3 dedicated to a world in which all people under- stand, value and care for the ocean.

Tarpon Bay Explorers is providing bait, two pontoon and two fishing guides to take the Junior Anglers out on the bay for each trip.

All together the group caught over 50 fish, including spotted sea trout, redfish, and even a shark.

The movement arose in response to last year’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the still existing lack of firmer guidelines and proven safety measures. Tens of thousands will attend gatherings across the globe. Local residents from across Southwest Florida’s counties are teaming up with the local Sierra Club, Lee County Parks & Recreation, the towns of Cape Coral and Fort Myers Beach, and the cities of Sanibel, Naples, and Fort Myers to support this event. Those who want to participate should contact the organizers listed below to find out particulars for their beach area. Group organizers are asking people to arrive no later than 11 a.m.; all will join hands at noon for 15 minutes. This is a peaceful statement to government officials that it is time to look at the subsidies our tax dollars are paying for, and to urge them to put our tax dollars into renewable energies instead of in the pockets of oil companies. It is a day for all to come together and enjoy what we could possibly lose, as was lost last year in Louisiana due to the oil spill. While our area was spared for the most part last year, we are a tourist destination, and the devastation of the smallest oil spill, even with cleanup efforts, would hurt our local economy considerably for years and years – not to mention our quality of life. Our government needs to focus on clean energy and create clean jobs. Clean energy will help to stop our nation’s dependency on foreign oil.

The iNature signs will be easily recognizable along the trail and can be accessed while walking, biking or driving along Wildlife Drive. This is the first such interactive trail in the 550-plus national wildlife refuge system, and Supervisory Refuge Ranger Toni Westland will be giving a presentation about the innovation to a National Wildlife Refuge System conference in early July. “We also believe this to be the first interactive QR wildlife trail in the nation,” said Westland “While QR codes are not yet known to everyone, they are starting to create a buzz in the marketing world with the people who use them,” said DDWS Executive Director Birgie Vertesch. “Special thanks goes to former Sanibel student Lars Bredahl, who took on this project as part of his college studies at Elon University in North Carolina.” “We would not have known the power of this media without Lars’ involvement on this project,” said Westland. “Currently nearly 40 percent of U.S. adults own a smart phone, and it is estimated that there will be more online visits from mobile devices than from personal computers by 2014. Lars is moving our refuge into the mobile world and helping us educate thousands of people about wildlife and its protection in a whole new way.” “The iNature Trail is a significant advancement in nature interpretation,” said Tritaik. “It not only takes advantage of the latest improvements in communication tech- nology, but it is environmentally responsible because it allows us to reduce paper waste Former Sanibel student Lars Bredahl works with Supervisory Refuge Range Toni Westland from brochures.

In the wild, it grows in southern- most Florida and the West Indies. The city of Havana is part of the com- mon 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 protuberance 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. Havana skullcap, a low-growing member Havana skullcap’s attraction for bees, of the mint family, is endangered in the butterflies, and birds make it an excellent state of Florida addition to a wildlife garden.

Read us online at IslandSunNews.com ISLAND SUN - JUNE 24, 2011 3B Incoming President Rick Siders and Fran Cameron, Hugh’s wife, presented a Lions Club Makes Honorary Donation $1,750 donation to a Friends Who Care representative Tom Louwers. Each year Lions’ Club Charities raise money for deserving causes, including Friends Who Care and other local organizations that provide help and relief for local families. Hugh, who was involved with the Lions for over 20 years, believed that Friends Who Care was a great organization and he volunteered with them, helping wrap Christmas gifts for many years. “He was very dedicated to the community,” Siders said. “He was a great volunteer not only to us, but to many other organizations including SCCF. He was very active in our fundraising events and the club’s treasurer. It’s especially meaningful to me, because he brought me into the Lions Club.” Louwers explained that this donation will help sponsor back-to-school supplies at the end of the summer. Many of the families that work on the islands lose some of their income once the season winds down, so more requests for assistance start com- ing in especially when the school season starts again. “When you see my list where some kids are being asked to spend as much as $200 on supplies, and where are some of these families going to get that kind of money?” Louwers said. Last year, the organization helped support 120 children and 40 seniors. Louwers said that in addition to school supplies and gifts, they also help by purchasing food, musical instruments and other extra items that many of these families can’t afford. “There are lots of good stories coming out of this,” he said. For the last 28 years, Friends Who Care, Inc. has been assisting families and indi- viduals in the Sanibel community facing crisis-related situations. Friends Who Care works on an anonymous basis, through information from the police department, churches, schools and caring individuals in the community. They provide a private and personalized service to the individuals they assist. They also run a gift program during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and work closely with other local service Fran Cameron (left) and Sanibel Captiva Lions Club President Rick Siders (right) present a organizations to identify areas where they can be of particular help. $1,750 donation to Friends Who Care representative Tom Louwers If you know of anyone who may need assistance or would like to offer your help, contact Friends Who Care at 472-5152. n memory of its long-standing member Hugh Cameron, the Sanibel-Captiva Lions Club offered to make a donation to an organization of his and his wife’s Ichoice.

The replica is a 1/10th scale model of the well known and much loved Sanibel Sanibel Lighthouse Scale Model landmark, a sign that we have returned to our most favorite place as we come over the causeway or visit Lighthouse Beach. The replica’s creator Ken Idle spent nearly 60 hours welding and assembling the lighthouse, which is accurate in almost every detail. Idle has been a welder for over 45 years and does specialty work on boats and other marine structures. The lighthouse was built with aviation aluminum for its lightness and strength, stands about 10 feet tall, weighs only about 70 pounds and is the winner’s to keep. The additional perk is that the light at the top actually works and due to the chosen material, will never rust. “It’s a great opportunity to own a piece of Sanibel history, but in much smaller form” said Farst. “There are so many creative things that someone can do with it, but more importantly, it will help us repaint the original.” More than half of the available 700 tickets have been sold. Tickets are available at Bailey’s General Store or from Farst, whom you can contact at rustyfarst@rustyfarst. com.

Gardenhire, in his 10th season at the helm of the Twins with six American League Central Division titles to his credit, is probably doing his best managing to date in a trouble-plagued season that is beyond belief. As late as June 1, the Twins were 17-37, 16½ games out of first place and owners of the worst record in baseball. But look at them now! When this week began, the Twins had won seven straight, 14 of 16 games and had climbed back to within eight games of first. There’s no question that the Twins’ early-season struggles stem from injuries forcing Gardenhire to field a host of minor leaguers to fill the gaps. Thirteen players have been on the disabled list and the season isn’t even three months old. And seven still remain on the shelf – right-fielder Jason Kubel, left-fielder Denard Span, first-baseman Justin Morneau, third-baseman Danny Valencia, designated hit- ter Jim Thome, and pitchers Kevin Slowey and Joe Nathan. Minnesota Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire Kubel was among the top American League hitters when he went down with a photo by Hannah Foslien, Getty Images left foot sprain. record in 2011.

Gardenhire won his first AL Manager of the Year Award last season with a team that posted a 94-68 record and was the first team to earn a playoff spot.
