20 ISLAND SUN - FEBRUARY 28, 2014 Captiva Island Yacht Club's Summer Junior Sailing Camp

Small group instruction is an important part of the program Students with instructors

R egistration is open for the fifth season of the Captiva Island Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing Camp, which will be held this summer. Families do not need to belong to the club to participate. Camp is open to ages eight to 18 of all experience levels. The first session of the Camp - for beginning sailors - is scheduled for Monday, June 23 to Friday, July 4. The second session - for intermediate sailors who have had an introduction to sailing and want to learn more about racing and tuning a boat for speed - will take place Monday, July 7 to Friday, July 18. At the end of the first two-week session, every camper will be able to rig and sail a boat single-handed and properly handle a kayak. At the end of the second, camp­ ers should be well on their way to becoming skilled sailors. Youngsters will demon­ strate their newly acquired skills at a parents and friends day luncheon at the club on Thursday of each session, followed by a family open sail day on Friday. Activities begin each morning at the yacht club, next to Tween Waters Inn on Captiva, and move to the waters of Roosevelt Channel. The program will feature Fun Fridays, including paddleboarding, kayaking and a sailing outing. Pick-up is at 4 p.m. each day. Captiva Island Yacht Club sponsors the camp. The enrollment fee is $600 per two-week session. Each child will be assigned his/her own sailboat, and there will be a certified instructor for every three to five students. The only qualification for participation is successful completion of a swim test; 50-yard swim, tread water, put on a PFD (personal flotation device) in the water and swim back 50 yards wearing the PFD. Enrollment is limited. Contact Lauren Davies at 472-9627 or email info@ Captival Y C. net Your child can learn to sail single-handed

David set the World’s Record in The Guinness Book of World Records for “cracking jokes unremittingly for 16 hours” (that’s 16 hours straight, without repeating a joke and without a break of any kind), he took on the title of “Funniest Man Alive”. He is a one of a kind stand up comic. Whether he is performing at one of the major hotels JL/\U G IL T n ) in Las Vegas, a Florida Resort, a G olf and Country Club, a Corporate Event, a Private Party, or at a Comedy Club, he has as much fun as does the audience. It’s difficult to describe his act with anything other than: “he is just plain funny!” He is gifted, outrageous, spontaneous and blessed with comedy instincts and timing that are beyond comparison.

The first phase of a $48.5 million expansion and renovation of the stadium and the adjoining Lee County Spots Complex is nearing completion with the remainder of the work to be final­ ized early next year. With the opening two years ago of the $80 million JetBlue Park at Fenway South, the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox, and now the additions and improvements to the Grapefruit League home of the Minnesota Twins, Lee County has assured that these two teams will remain here for at least the next three decades. A new 360-degree boardwalk and concourse ring Hammond Stadium When you enter Hammond Stadium tomorrow, Saturday, when the Twins play the Red Sox in their first spring training home game, the first thing you will see is a 360-degree boardwalk and concourse ringing the field with new seating. The Dunes Golf Club The addition increases the stadium capacity from 8,000 to 9,300. The boardwalk also includes two large patio group seating areas, bars and concession stands. Championship Tournament Also to be completed this year is a large player development academy, one of only three in the major leagues, renovation of the Twins minor league clubhouse, new minor league playing field and agility field and a new parking lot. The unique player development academy contains classrooms for minor leaguers that will be utilized for multi-discipline education, a large auditorium, nutrition center and dormitory housing for 108 players. The Twins presently house minor league play­ ers in hotels during spring training. Financing the project came from Lee County ($27.5 million), $15 million from the State of Florida and $6 million from the Twins who are paying for the dormitory por­ tion of the player development academy. Phase two of the construction is scheduled for completion by February, 2015, and is to include expansion and upgrading of the present concourses in Hammond Stadium, restroom renovations, premium seating improvements, clubhouse expansion, a new retail store, press box renovations and permanent offices for both the Twins and the Fort Myers Miracle administrative staff. The most recent data available shows that spring training contributes more than $47 million to the local economy annually.The study further showed that 57 percent of those who attend a spring training game of the Twins and Red Sox are visiting Lee County for the sole purpose of attending games.ft Bob Rohl Bill Hotchkiss

Inaugurated in 2013, the Mardi Gras fundraiser is one way that islanders can pro­ vide this vital support. Tickets are $35 for adults and include a full Cajun meal with crawfish, corn-and-crab chowder, Bourbon-glazed chicken, and king cake. The event will also feature live music from the Blue Dirt Dixieland Jazz Band, a cos­ tume contest with prizes, a silent auction, and - new this year - a live auction headed by CHR Board President Richard Johnson. The live auction items include a trip for two to New Orleans with hotel, airfare and dinners; a trip to Sonoma County, California, with hotel, airfare and chauffeured vine­ yard tour; and a dinner for six served in your home by Bailey’s Catering. Mardi Gras is designed to be not just affordable but also fun for the whole family. Kids’ tickets, which include a special kid-friendly meal, are $10. Last year’s event sold out quickly, and this year organizers are providing for a larger attendance. Bank of the Islands President Geoff Roepstorff commented: “Affordable housing is key for a thriving community. Robbie and all our banking team join me in applauding CHR’s efforts and in looking forward to a great Mardi Gras benefit.” Ready for Mardi Gras are, from left, Melissa Rice and Rich McDowell of the CHR board, In addition to Bank of the Islands as presenting sponsor, other major sponsors Nate Grey, John Grey, CHR Board President Richard Johnson, Derek Grey and CHR include Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, the Sanibel-Captiva Trust Company, Bailey’s Executive Director Kelly Collini General Store and Jerry Carroll AC & Heating Company.
