Rose loves seashells and her husband Jim loves wood - a perfect combination for creating sailor’s valentines. “I’ve been fascinated with seashells from the time I was old enough to go beach­ combing with my father,” Rose said. “I’ve had a flair for arts and crafts for as long as I Share your community news with us. can remember, so when I first spotted a sailor’s valentine in a shop on Sanibel Island, I Call 395-1213, Fax: 395-2299 knew immediately that I needed to make my own one day.” Rose draws her inspiration not only from the traditional geometric patterns used or email [email protected] in the valentines sold to sailors passing through Barbados in the 19th century but also from the more ornate floral patterns being created by contemporary artists. Jim started making octagonal sailor’s valentine display boxes, and as his wood shop advanced, so did the quality and precision of his work. He now creates exotic hard­ wood frames in a variety of shapes, including heart-shaped. The sailor’s valentines range from about $55 to $155.

The original Nao Victoria was one of five ships given to Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan to sail around the world. Magellan, along with 245 other men, set sail from Spain in 1519. The historic voyage crossed over 32,000 miles, ending three years later with only 18 of the original crew returning on the Nao Victoria. Magellan was killed in the Philippines, leaving Spanish explorer Juan Sebastian de Elcano to complete the voyage.

Last week a special reception was held for playwright Todd Logan who discussed the play and what inspired him to write it. Defamation will premiere February 20 at the Strauss Theater, 2200 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel and will run through March 2. John Kramer, Valerie Tutor, Linda Kramer, Todd Logan, Edina Lessack, Bobby Logue What is unique about his play is that the ending is decided by the audience. The play focuses on an African American 'Tw een W aters In n shouldn't every day be this good? professional woman who is suing a wealthy Jewish businessman over an 15951 CAPTIVA DRIVE 239.472.5161 TWEEN -WATERS.COM alleged case of defamation. The audience will hear from both sides and must try to sort through their own feelings about race, religion and class to reach a verdict. At the conclusion of the 70-minute play the jury/audience will be invited to delib­ erate for approximately 15 minutes. The audience discussion will be facilitated by Logan or members of the cast. Logan said an experience several years ago served as his inspiration for Defamation. He was talking with two actors who were African American. One of the actors reminded him of Cleavon Little from the 1974 Mel Brooks com­ edy film Blazing Saddles. Logan said, “I wanted to say, you know who you remind me of? But I didn’t feel I could say that. Maybe it will be misinterpreted.” He wanted to write a play to address these types of situations. Just up the road awaits a true, must-do destination: the Old Captiva House, In a civil suit you have to prove that where America’s most romantic sunset meets Captiva’s top-rated dining someone made a false statement to a THE in a charming, historic, Gulf-front location complete with live piano. third party and also that it cost you finan­ OLD CAPTIVA HOUSE cially. The stage becomes a courtroom. Come, feast your eyes and your appetite. There are six actors involved in the play. Reservations 239.472.5161 X42I They act as lawyers, key witnesses and of course the man and woman involved in the trial. A question was asked if the perfor­ mance of the actors makes a difference in the outcome. Logan replied, “It's a case that could go any way, but performances do make a difference.” He gave examples of how the verdict differed from venue to venue depending upon the audience eth­ nicity and religion. “Whether we like it or not, we still have major divides in this country. Most of us still go to bed at night in cities, com­ munities and neighborhoods that are seg­ regated by race, religion, ethnicity and/or class,” he added. He hopes “that people become aware of the preconceived notions and implicit biases we harbor every day and then empathize with others more often, thereby combating prevailing trends. Making the audience the jury and then inviting the jury to dialogue with me and the cast after a verdict is reached provides a forum to start exactly that process. ” Park your flip flops at the one and only Crow’s Nest at Tween Waters Inn - \ __ — ... ^ ^ To learn more about the play, go to where you'll find great food, great fun and great times served up nightly. gt. * Defamationplay. com.
