Charlotte Cadman reading to her class

by Brian Johnson fter an inspiring trip to Africa this past year, area Aresident Judy Cadman is attempting to launch a reading program for children on environmental topics for Sanibel and other parts of Southwest Florida. Cadman, a former CROW volunteer, went to visit her daughter in Malawi in May. She had several exciting experiences. One was visiting the Lilongwe Wildlife Center, where she met the manager, Lee Stewart, and gave him a copy of the book Amazing Animal Stories From CROW. Their discussions about wildlife rehab led to his trip to Sanibel in December of 2009 to speak at The Community House and visit CROW. While in Malawi she visited her granddaughter Charlotte’s school, where they happened to be read- Judy Cadman ing Dear Children of the Earth by Schim Schimmel. The class was spellbound by the tale, which took the form of a letter. “They were mesmerized by the drawings, and ooohed and aaahed over the story,” said Cadman. “On one page the narrator asked, ‘Do you know how to save the earth?’ and one little girl at the back of the room said, ‘Love!’ And that was in fact the answer on the following page.” Cadman left Africa with a desire to help promote reading about environmental topics, and has since met with CROW, the Nature Conservancy and other organizations about basing a reading program on Dear Children of the Earth. She plans to approach “Ding” Darling as well as Sanibel bookstores. “It has gorgeous illustrations and a simple yet powerful message that kids can understand about their role and responsibility in taking care of Mother Earth,” added Cadman. Yard Sales At The Sanibel School anibel School middle schoolers will be having two yard sales again this year to raise money for upcoming field trips. The yard sales will be on January 30 Sand February 27 from 8 a.m. to noon in the school pavilion. These events are open to the public. All middle school families are invited to participate.

CHEF’S SPECIALTIES

Wynton Marsalis, Willie Nelson and Norah Jones in concert

IG ARTS has penned a partnership agreement with DigiScreen Corporation to bring international performing arts companies to the big screen in Schein BPerformance Hall. Chuck Bonser, BIG ARTS president, has recruited volunteer Meri Kulina to help roll out the new program. Bonser said, “This new effort is made possible by our recent agreement with DigiScreen Corporation. Our new technology, and their extensive digital programming base, will enable us to bring a whole new dimension of quality entertainment to our community. We are grateful that such a talented leader as Meri has accepted this important new responsibility for BIG ARTS.” “This is pioneering a new direction for BIG ARTS,” said Kulina. “Being at the forefront of the burgeoning digital platform will allow us to bring ballets, operas, Shakespeare and selected concerts from Covent Garden, La Scala, Paris Opera, Sidney Opera, the Globe Theater and even Jazz at Lincoln Center, to our island audience.” “BIG ARTS is embracing this new opportunity as it enables us to reach a wider and FIRST COURSE more diverse audience from the community, as well as opening the minds of people to new creative experiences. This agreement signifies how digital cinema is dramatically changing the viewing experience, enabling audiences to enjoy alternative entertainment that previously was only accessible in live venues,” said Lee Ellen Harder, BIG ARTS executive director. BIG ARTS will kick-start the DigiScreen program with a concert featuring Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, along with the stunning songstress Norah Jones, performing Ray Charles’ hits. The concert event, captured live in 2009 from Jazz at Lincoln Center, includes backstage interviews and rehearsal footage. The concert will be shown in high definition video and digital sound in Schein Performance Hall on Thursday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $15. The concert explores the legacy of Ray Charles, cleverly sequencing the songs to tell the story of a love affair from beginning to end and beyond. The program begins with Hallelujah I Love Her So, played with a New Orleans feel. Other favorites, Hit the Road Jack and You Are My Sunshine, That’s All, Unchain My Heart, and Here We Go Again, are some of the classic Ray Charles favorites performed by this iconic trio of musicians. To purchase tickets stop by BIG ARTS, 900 Dunlop Road or call the Marks Box SOUPS & SALADS Office at 395-0900.

Seeing Edwards run around in a kilt with bagpipes and a thick Scottish brogue is really a hoot.
